EU takes firm stand on dairy Ambassador says Canada must allow dairy imports if it expects more beef trade

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Prairie livestock producers should not expect more access to the European Union if Canadian access isn’t expanded for European dairy exporters, says the EU chief diplomat in Canada.

“It’s the overall balance which is important,” ambassador Matthias Brinkman told reporters in Ottawa April 26.

“For the Prairies, the beef issue is a big one and there will be no deal without dairy; it’s almost a foregone conclusion.”

He said the EU wants a significant increase in the 20.4 million kilograms of European cheese allowed into Canada under quota.

Clubroot DNA found in Manitoba Manitoba is still officially free of clubroot, but DNA of the disease has been discovered in the province.

Manitoba Agriculture announced in late April that soil samples taken last August from two canola fields

tested positive for clubroot DNA at extremely low levels.

The positive tests came from samples taken as part of the Manitoba Canola Disease Survey and represent the first time clubroot DNA has been identified in the province.

Despite the positive results, Manitoba doesn’t technically have club-

root, said Holly Derksen, plant pathologist with Manitoba Agriculture.

“We’re specifically saying that Manitoba is still clubroot-free because we haven’t had symptoms on plants. In this field there are no symptoms observed on the plants,” she said.

Manitoba Agriculture is not releas-

ing the locations of the positive tests.

Manitoba Agriculture staff also took soil from the positive samples and used it to grow Chinese cabbage in a greenhouse. Chinese cabbage is highly susceptible to clubroot, but the plants didn’t show signs of the disease.

Clubroot DNA in Manitoba Derksen said the lack of plant infection in the field or the greenhouse means plant pathologists can’t come to a definitive conclusion.

“At this point we can’t say for sure if this represents viable spores or spores able to cause infection. All we know is that clubroot DNA is present.”

Bill Ross, executive manager of the Manitoba Canola Growers Association, said it’s not shocking that clubroot DNA has been found.

The discovery probably has more to do with sophisticated detection methods rather than the disease moving into the province, he added.

“In discussions with oilseed specialists, they figure that clubroot has been around since the ’20s,” he said.

“It’s just that our testing for it is so good now that we can find minute amounts.”

Nonetheless, Ross said canola growers cannot ignore this discovery. The canola growers association helps fund the canola disease survey, so producers can take the appropriate action to prevent disease.

“ You need to know what’s out there,” Ross said. “It (the clubroot discovery) is a concern and now for producers, it’s up to them to take a little bit more precaution.”

For example, Ross said producers should take the time to remove clumps of mud from equipment before entering a field.

Manitoba Agriculture has also suggested other preventive measures that producers should employ.

“The use of disease-resistant varieties when growing canola, proper crop rotation and good weed management of alternate hosts will decrease the likelihood of a soilborne disease infesting a field,” it said in a news release.

“These practices will also help prevent heavier infestations from developing within a field where a disease may already be present at undetected levels.”

Clubroot is a soil born disease that can affect canola, mustard, radish and cabbage crops. It results in deformed roots that reduce nutrients to the plant, reducing yields.

EU takes firm stand on dairy He also noted there is a demand in Europe for Canadian meat.

“In Alberta and the Prairies, they tell us, ‘we have good beef and we want to sell this beef and pork to you,’ ” Mathias said during a breakfast briefing at EU offices in Ottawa.

“Well, our market can take that, the high-quality beef is in demand, it must be hormone-free and antibiotic-free, but that’s no problem for producers, they tell us, because although it costs a bit more, they already produce hormone-free beef.”

Brinkman laid out his unusually blunt assessment of the bottom-line European agricultural demands a day before the Canadian government launched a cross-country blitz to extol the benefits for Canada’s farmers in a Canada-EU deal, including increased commodity shipments to Europe from the Prairies.

Conservative trade promoters did not mention the thorny issue of supply management protection and defence of high Canadian tariffs in their speeches.

Mathias said sensitive agricultural demands and counter demands have yet to be exchanged between the two sides as the negotiations reach what are considered their final months after more than two years of talks.

He said in any negotiation, agriculture is often the most difficult area and therefore is left to the end when other issues have been resolved.

“It’s not the first time. I would say it is normal.”

Maurizio Cellini, economic and commercial affairs specialist in the EU delegation, said Europe needs concessions from Canada if it is to open more of its markets to Canadian export commodities.

“There must be balanced concessions on both sides.”

Mathias said the EU is not demanding an end to protectionist supply management. There are ways to increase access for European cheese through increased quotas that will not undermine the high Canadian tariff wall.

It is a trade liberalization solution proposed recently by former Canadian chief agriculture negotiator Michael Gifford. Dairy Farmers of Canada has rejected the proposal.

Meanwhile, despite the Canadian depiction of a Canada-EU free trade deal this year as a certainly, European officials said last week ratification of a deal is not a given within the EU system.

Trade treaties must be approved by consensus within the European Parliament, and three EU countries subject to Canadian visas in an effort to stop the influx of Roma refugee claimants from Europe are vowing to oppose any treaty with Canada if the visa requirements are not lifted.

The Czech Republic, Bulgaria and Romania are the three affected countries.

FEDERAL BUDGET | CUTBACKS

SEEDING | CHEMFALLOWING

StatsCan cuts worry analysts

Summerfallow acres decrease to lowest level since 1915

Unbiased info | Industry says agricultural data is vital to doing business

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Many crop analysts are hoping the feast of data they receive from Statistics Canada doesn’t get slimmed down by federal government cutbacks to the agency and other federal bodies.

“I think the collection and processing of data is very, very important,” said Winnipeg analyst Marlene Boersch.

However, most analysts, including Boersch, think fundamental agricultural data such as that contained in last week’s seeding intentions report will be safe from cutbacks because it is a prime location for updating with modern methods.

Data gathering is an area that has generally seen incredible gains with new technology in recent years, but Statistics Canada hasn’t seemed to fully embrace the potential productivity gains.

“I don’t think we have seen a lot of increases in efficiency there,” said Boersch.

No cuts to Statistics Canada services have been announced recently, and staff layoffs and job changes for the agenc y were only set to be unveiled April 30. However, its work produces some of the only independent and deeply sur veyed and researched data that all farmers, analysts and companies can easily access and base decisions upon.

It is the Canadian version of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s closely watched surveys and analytical reports. They can move the markets when they contain numbers that are significantly different from what people expect.

Accurate information helps farmers because it gives them a way to assess the production situations of the crops they are growing. As well,

analysts have no better source for assessing the basic size of the crops seeded, growing and harvested in Canadian fields.

Companies rely on the data as a starting point for additional analysis and for checking against their own internal numbers.

Ross Purdy, manager of the Bank of Montreal’s agricultural lending in Alberta, said he uses Statistics Canada’s numbers when assessing businesses.

“The information I get from Statistics Canada, I really value,” said Purdy during a conference call last week with the Canadian Federation of Agriculture.

“It’s one of the few places you can go get which is unbiased information.”

Time lag problem Canadian analysts have long complained about Statistics Canada’s numbers, as Americans complain about the USDA. Statistics Canada comes in for particular criticism for the time lag between when it gathers data and when it releases its analysis. The real world situation can change greatly in a couple of weeks for seeding, crop situation and production reports, but often, as with the seeding intentions report released last week, weeks go by between when Statistics Canada surveys farmers and when it releases its results.

And for smaller crops, analysts often say the Statistics Canada sample size is too small to accurately reveal acreage.

However, analysts often follow their criticisms by grudgingly adopting the numbers as a baseline, with the comment “it’s the numbers we have.”

CFA president Ron Bonnett said he

wasn’t too worried about Statistics Canada dropping agr icultural reports or reducing their accuracy.

“Agriculture was singled out as one of the areas where the government still felt it was important to collect that long form data,” said Bonnett.

“So I think there’s an understanding of the importance of that data in decision-making.”

Boersch said she believed Statistics Canada could become more efficient with fewer staff because she has seen that happen across the agricultural and analytical industries. When she began her career at Cargill in 1983, “you had all sorts of support staff for analysis. You won’t find that in the companies anymore,” she said.

“People in certain positions are expected to do that.”

She also said recent information technology improvements should allow a much faster flow of information from surveys to analysts and then out to the public with fewer people.

“I really think we could do a lot more with what we have.”

However, she said she did not know what the federal government was going to cut or how, so she didn’t know if potential Statistics Canada cuts would be done in a manner that would improve the agency’s speed or efficiency.

Bonnett said he also saw great room for efficiency improvements in agricultural data collection from farmers, going beyond just Statistics Canada.

“You may have a farmer that fills out crop insurance reports, income reports for Revenue Canada, reports for other government departments, and one of the things we’re suggesting is finding ways to streamline that so that you don’t have this huge burden of paperwork that you have to fill out,” said Bonnett.

It wasn’t too long ago that Don Connick religiously summerfallowed half of his land every growing season.

This year, he plans to chemfallow 10 percent of the 1,600 acres on his farm south of Gull Lake, Sask., and that’s only because it is a new parcel that needs care and attention before planting a crop.

“We will phase out of the summerfallow rotation there if we can,” he said.

The same thing is happening further south in places like Shaunavon, Consul and Frontier, some of the driest areas of Saskatchewan that have traditionally relied heavily on the outdated agronomic practice.

“Boy, you don’t even see a lot of chemfallow down there anymore.

The trend is definitely away from it,” said Connick.

That observation is certainly reflected in the latest seeding intentions numbers released by Statistics Canada.

Farmers plan to grow more of almost everything in 2012, aside from lentils and a few minor crops. So where are the acres coming from?

The answer is summerfallow.

Farmers intend to idle 3.97 million acres in 2012, down from 12.4 million last year and 10.8 million in 2010.

If growers stick to their word, summerfallow will take up the least amount of land since 1915, when farmers set aside 3.76 million acres.

“I just think it’s very encouraging that farmers are reducing their summerfallow,” said Glen Shaw, executive director of the Soil Conservation Council of Canada.

“It’s a very good sign for maintaining our soil quality and actually improving the soil quality that we have.”

Summerfallow totals were artificially inflated the last two years because of the amount of farmland in Saskatchewan and Manitoba unintentionally sidelined by exces-

sive spring moisture.

Aside from those two abnormal growing seasons, there has been a steady trend of rapidly declining summerfallow acres. Farmers idled 18 million acres annually just 20 years ago.

Saskatchewan Agriculture soil specialist Ken Panchuk said it’s no coincidence the demise of the agronomic practice has occurred at the same time as the rising popularity of canola.

“If we’re going to seed more canola acres, it’s got to come out of somewhere,” he said.

The widespread adoption of zero-till practices and improved in-season moisture use efficiency is another major factor in the reduced reliance on summerfallow, the primary purpose of which is to conserve moisture.

Strong prices for most crops have only accelerated the shift to continuous cropping. “(Farmers) are losing money if they summerfallow, so I think the economics is driving it,” said Shaw.

Panchuk said some acres will always be in summerfallow. It will still be used to conserve moisture in extremely dry areas, by organic farmers as part of their regular rotations and by growers shifting out of forage production and into grain production.

“It’s a practice that is not going to go away entirely,” he said.

However, he noted that the modern practice of chemfallow is more environmentally friendly than the older tillage methods of summerfallow.

Shaw said tilling the soil is one of Connick is happy to be getting away from the practice on his farm for both economic and conservation reasons, but he agreed that it won’t disappear altogether anytime soon. He said he spoke to a woman the other day who wants her rented land in summerfallow this year because “it needs a rest.”

“These old ideas are quickly dying out, and I think that is a progressive trend,” said Connick.

FERTILIZER | FARMER OWNED

FNA ponders farmer-owned fertilizer plant Not an easy road | Past experience says going could get tough when fertilizer prices fall STORIES BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Farmers of North America says a producer owned fertilizer plant would be the answer to high fertilizer prices. | WILLIAM DEKAY PHOTO

Companies wanting to gain a foothold in Western Canada’s grain handling sector are trying to convince farmers to sell their inland terminals.

However, one group is telling producers they should be expanding their ownership of grain industry assets.

“We think that farmers should really seriously consider getting into fertilizer manufacturing,” said Bob Friesen, chief executive officer of Farmers of North America Strategic Agriculture Institute.

The organization recently took out an ad in The Western Producer urging growers to consider the idea.

Friesen said if Glencore’s takeover of Viterra is approved, Agrium will own more than half of Canada’s nitrogen production and “virtually monopolize” the retailing of farm inputs in this country.

Growing control of the fertilizer sector by one company provides impetus to consider such a venture.

“The environment is right now to start talking about it,” he said.

Friesen said there is a good level of interest among the producers he has spoken to about the idea.

Farmer frustration with fertilizer reached the boiling point in 2008 when prices spiked in response to high grain prices, reducing profit margins on the farm.

There is a precedent in New Zealand for the business model that FNA proposes. In that country, growers own Ravensdown and Balance AgriNutrients Ltd., two of the country’s leading fertilizer companies.

David Asbridge, president of NPK Fertilizer Advisory Service, applauds FNA for promoting the plan.

“The idea behind what they’re doing I think is a good idea because right now natural gas is really cheap in North America,” he said.

The cost of producing urea is about $100 US per tonne at the plant and around $200 per tonne by the time it is delivered to farmers in the U.S. Midwest, where growers are paying $600 per tonne for the product.

“Margins are phenomenal, I can guarantee you,” said Asbridge.

However, he thinks a farmer-owned plant would face stiff competition in years when margins are tight, which could be around the corner.

Interest in building new capacity increases when fertilizer prices are

high, which is what has been happening recently.

Huge nitrogen fertilizer plants have been built in China and the Middle East, causing growth in production capacity to outstrip growth in demand.

Nitrogen fertilizer prices move in a c yclical pattern that Asbr idge describes as a sideways “S,” and he believes they’re about to turn down.

“We’re kind of at the tipping point.”

Based on past experience, it would be difficult when prices fall for a small farmer-owned facility to compete with a urea production plant churning out two million tonnes of product per year.

Farmland Industries, the largest agricultural co-operative in North America, declared bankruptcy in 2002, due in large part to a prolonged downturn in fertilizer prices.

Asbridge worked for CF Industries when it was a farmer-owned cooperative. The business had its challenges when prices were low. In 2005, members decided to turn the co-op into a publicly traded company.

A fertilizer manufacturing plant is an expensive venture, he warned, costing about $1.5 billion to build a two million tonne urea facility.

“We know that investing in fertilizer manufacturing would cost a lot of money. There’s no question about that,” said Friesen.

That’s why FNA has met with the federal agriculture minister, the deputy minister and senior officials within the department to discuss rule changes for the more than $1 billion that farmers have saved in the federal AgriInvest program.

FNA wants Ottawa to defer or waive the taxes on the government’s share of the AgriInvest money if it is invested in a venture that maximizes future revenue for farmers, such as a fertilizer manufacturing plant.

“There seems to be interest in what we’re suggesting,” said Friesen.

He hopes it will be a topic of discussion when federal and provincial agriculture ministers gather in Whitehorse in September.

Fertilizer prices could drop by late summer, 2013 price run-up expected to be lower Tipping point reached for nitrogen | Price ramped up in response to expectations of largest U.S. corn crop since 1937 A leading fertilizer industry analyst b e l i e v e s n i t ro g e n p r i c e s hav e reached a tipping point and will soon be falling.

“By August, we expect a pretty good trough to develop,” said David Asbridge, president of NPK Fertilizer Advisory Service.

Prices began ramping up in Ma r c h i n r e s p o n s e t o w h a t i s expected to be the largest U.S. corn

crop since 1937.

Shippers and handlers of fertilizer products were caught flat-footed by the surprisingly hasty start to the 2012-13 crop year. Growers were out in their fields a full month before normal.

“We started so early that we just did not have the supply here that we needed at the time we needed it,” said Asbridge.

U.S. farmers import 70 percent of their urea needs. Boats were lined up with product at the ports this spring but couldn’t unload in time to meet the early season demand, causing a temporary supply shortage that pressured prices higher.

Asbridge is confident they have reached their peak.

“It wouldn’t surprise me at all in certain parts of North America to see

the urea price drop $200 per tonne here in the next two months,” he said.

He is advising subscribers to the NPK Insider newsletter to consider holding off until late summer to buy their fall fertilizer needs.

They may even want to consider b u y i n g s o m e p ro d u c t f o r n e x t spring at that time.

Asbridge anticipates a normal seasonal increase in nitrogen fertilizer

prices this fall, followed by a dip during the winter doldrums and then the usual hike in the peak buying season next spring.

However, he doesn’t expect the run-up in the spring of 2013 to be as dramatic as this spring.

“Barring some unforeseen catastrophe somewhere, it shouldn’t be anywhere near like it was this year,” said Asbridge.

SEEDING | MANITOBA, SASKATCHEWAN

Spirits high in areas flooded out last spring Seeding already underway | While sowing conditions are ideal in many areas, farmers are waiting for soil to warm up

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

ST. FRANCIS XAVIER, Man. — So what’s it like to be able to seed canola into perfect conditions at the end of April? “ It f e e l s g o o d ,” s a i d Gu e nt e r Jochum with a broad smile as he headed to his tractor to seed a dry field with canola seed April 25.

That’s a common feeling across much of Manitoba and eastern Saskatchewan this spring as thousands of farmers prepare to seed millions of acres of land that were lost to flooding and saturation last year.

The field that Jochum was about to seed was partially submerged last year at this time as the Assiniboine River grew to the bursting point and backed up water across many fields.

This field saw a new river develop across it, with the water flowing in the opposite direction one would expect — away from the river and up toward higher land.

Last year’s flooding became a crisis as the Assiniboine and Souris situations grew extreme. Roads were submerged and destroyed and land had no way to drain. The floods hit between mid-April and late May, so farmers generally had no way to get a crop in before crop insurance deadlines in many areas.

Riverside flooding was a problem for farmers beside rivers, but the generally heavy rain in many areas during the late spring combined with overflowing rivers to keep land saturated until the latter half of the growing season, when farmland could finally drain.

If we get the seed in OK and there’s no moisture for two weeks, then we’ll worry. Timely rains are the next thing.

DON MAZIER MANITOBA FARMER

Some farmers seeded canola by air on fields that were too wet to work, in the hopes that they could work in the seed and manage it once it was growing.

Much was left to grow weeds until the land was firm enough to allow chemical weed control and tillage by ground. Millions of acres of unintended summerfallow appeared.

This year a hot March and dry April has allowed most farmers to prepare their fields without many problems.

Dryness is the most commonly cited potential problem, but showers came on the weekend and timely rain was in the forecast.

Don Mazier, a Brandon-area farmer and Keystone Agricultural Producers vice-president, said April 30 that farmer spirits are high after a terrible 2011.

Good conditions now mean farmers can get on with farming.

“It’s ideal sowing conditions right now,” said Mazier, who had temporarily stopped seeding for a shower to sink in, but who was grateful for the moisture. “Soil temperature’s the biggest concern right now.”

Most of the seeding in western Manitoba and eastern Saskatchewan

has probably been wheat and other cereals as farmers wait for the soil to warm up for other crops.

It has been warmer in the Red River Valley, and other crops are possible, so a wide variety of seeding has already occurred and green shoots are visible across the region.

As Jochum’s tractor moved off with the seeder placing this year’s crop, a light cloud of dust rose into the cool air.

Mazier said farmers generally have enough soil moisture from last year’s floods to get this crop off to a start, but they will now begin the perennial situation of anxiously watching the weather.

“If we get the seed in OK and there’s no moisture for two weeks, then we’ll worry,” said Mazier.

“Timely rains are the next thing.”

WINTER WHEAT | CONDITION

Winter wheat looking good so far

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Winter wheat across most of the Prairies appears to have survived a winter with little snow cover and few lengthy periods of severe cold.

Autumn Holmes-Saltzman, program specialist with Ducks Unlimited Canada, has spent the last several weeks visiting new winter wheat growers and observing crops.

So far, she has seen no sign of stripe rust, the disease that severely damaged many wheat crops in southern

Alberta last year.

“I haven’t seen any stripe rust at all.

Last spring we had some overwinter so I saw it pretty early out in the fields, and I have not seen any disease whatsoever in the fields I’ve checked,” said Holmes-Saltzman.

“It looks like (no disease) overwintered. I think the lack of snow really helped in that department.”

She said winter wheat crops overall look fairly consistent, with little winterkill reported. However, it’s too early to determine the crop conditions in cooler parts of the province.

No decision should be made until mid to late May if crops emerge in poor shape.

Late seeding in 2011 may have prevented fall emergence of some crops, but Holmes-Saltzman said those can still be productive when emerging this spring, although they will behave more like spring wheat and lack the benefit of early harvest.

For now, she recommended growers check weed growth in their winter wheat fields and consider applying nitrogen, which can help a struggling crop recover its potential.

Canola extends lead over spring wheat Planting survey | Record canola area might increase by end of season

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Farmers are bullish about almost every crop, Statistics Canada’s March seeding intentions report shows.

However, it also offers more evidence of the long-term trend of farmers embracing canola and avoiding spring wheat. Each year farmers plan to grow more canola than the previous year, but they generally plan to grow less spring wheat.

This year, prairie farmers intend to seed 20.37 million acres of canola and 17.18 million acres of spring wheat.

That is a new record for canola acreage, well above last year’s 19.22 million acre intention.

However, it is the third lowest intended acreage for wheat in a decade, only marginally above 2007 and 600,000 acres more than 2008’s 16.58 million acres.

In 2003, farmers intended to plant almost 19 million acres of wheat and 10.94 million acres of canola. Intended canola acreage is now almost double what it was and well above the spring wheat total, capping a total role reversal.

Another long-term trend is for farmers to increase their actual planted acreage of canola from the March seeding intentions report but to decrease spring wheat acreage.

Many analysts expect to see that

Canola will stretch as far as the eye can see as farmers cash in on high prices. | happen again this year.

“Every grower out there is trying to figure out a way to sneak in another 60, 80 or 100 acres more canola,” said Ken Ball, a broker with Union Securities in Winnipeg.

There is still room for canola acreage to grow. Some analysts had predicted farmers would intend to plant 22 million acres of canola this year, with a couple guessing 23 million acres.

The canola number in the planting intentions report, although a record, is actually bullish for canola because it is at the low end of expectations.

However, spring wheat acres could be vulnerable to any weather problems. Analysts say the higher spring wheat acres, as well as relatively big acres for most other crops, are a product of the collapse of summerfallow acres.

Statistics Canada predicts farmers will leave less than four million acres idle after leaving 12.4 million fallow in last year’s wet growing season and 10.7 million in similarly wet 2010.

Analysts aren’t surprised that intended summerfallow acreage would drop, but virtually all analysts were surprised by the tiny number.

“It adds two million more acres into the mix that I wasn’t expecting,” said Chuck Penner of LeftField Commodity Research, who thought six million was a more likely number.

“It allows all of the crops to expand their acres.”

Jon Driedger of FarmLink Marketing Solutions was also surprised by the summerfallow number, which is boosting crop acreage numbers.

“The summerfallow was so incredibly low, by far a record low. What that does is add acres to everything else,” said Driedger.

However, with farmers keen to plant canola above everything else, they will likely keep or increase their canola acres if weather problems occur but cut crops such as wheat and oats that are less financially attractive.

Winnipeg analyst Marlene Boersch said she thinks cereal grains will

likely suffer most if seeding problems occur.

“It’s probably a little overstated,” said Boersch about the cereal grain acreages.

Another phenomenon likely to cut former CWB grain acreage is the slow development of forward sales contracts with grain companies, Boersh said. With farmers able to lock in profitable prices with some crops but generally not with spring wheat and durum, they might favour the crops that they can hedge.

However, if everything goes into the ground as farmers intended when they were surveyed by StatsCan, and there is good weather, then farmers might discover how far they can push the grain handling system, Boersch said.

“If the total acreage really is that high, we probably will have some problems with our export capabilities because we rarely do more than 30 million tonnes,” said Boersch.

“That could, in a good year, cause some problems.”

Red River farmers favour canola, soybeans over specialty crops

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Hidden under the bounding joy that Red River Valley farmers feel for canola and soybeans is the jaded tiredness they feel for edible beans and sunflowers.

What were once mainstay crops of

the valley are now slipping away.

“We lost the peas. Now we are losing the sunflowers,” said Roy Legumex trader Gabriel Schujman.

This year, farmers in the valley intend to increase acreages of edible beans and sunflowers, according to industry sources and Statistics Canada. However, those increases go

nowhere near filling the production and acreage gap created by years of farmers avoiding those crops.

Farmers have fled from specialty crops as canola becomes more profitable and as soybeans become safer and easier to grow in the northern Red River Valley.

Not only are canola and soybeans

generally more profitable, but they also can easily be sold in the main commercial grain markets, be easily hedged, have many more crop management options available and varieties are updated and improved regularly.

Growing sunflowers or edible beans pushes farmers into special-

ized markets and into crops that don’t see new varieties regularly introduced. Production systems don’t contain many contemporary management features and the crops often face intense disease pressure.

Lentils exceed expectations Lentil acres 500,000 over forecast | Demand from India may help

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Pulse market analysts are worried about the number of acres of lentils that growers intend to plant.

“It’s certainly more than what’s needed, no doubt about it,” said Chuck Penner of LeftField Commodity Research.

Farmers told Statistics Canada they plan to seed 2.46 million acres.

Stat Publishing editor Brian Clancey said markets were expecting closer to two million acres.

Clancey is forecasting that Statistics Canada’s March 31 stocks report, to be released May 7, will show 950,000 tonnes of lentils, which is three times more than what will be needed to cover normal demand through the end of July. That means another sizeable carryout.

“Normally that would put a lot of pressure on prices, but there is no pressure on farmers in Western Canada to sell lentils or other crops to generate cash,” he wrote in an article that ran in the May edition of Saskatchewan Pulse Growers’ Pulse Market Report.

The good news is there could be strong demand for lentils from India

in the coming months.

The rabi or winter harvest is about two-thirds complete and lentil production is expected to be 750,000 tonnes, which is 16 percent smaller than last year’s crop, according to The Hindu Business Line associate editor G. Chandrashekhar, in an article he wrote for the Pulse Market Report.

Indian imports are also down in 2011-12, leading to a 23 percent decline in overall supply when added to the disappointing production number.

“That’s where we see some signs that Canadian red lentil exports are going to be a little firmer,” said Penner.

Green lentil exports are fairly static from year to year unless India has a bad pigeon pea crop, but that won’t be known until the end of summer.

India’s government is forecasting 7.4 million tonnes of rabi chickpea production, but Chandrashekhar said most in the trade think it will be closer to 6.8 million tonnes. Total supply of 7.3 million tonnes would be seven percent below last year’s levels.

“That will be helpful for anybody who is exporting peas,” said Penner.

Growers told Statistics Canada they

intend to plant 3.3 million acres of peas, which is up one million acres from last year and above market expectations.

“It was a little bit higher than what I was expecting, but it’s not going to make things burdensome by any stretch and probably not even comfortable,” said Penner.

He anticipates continued strong pea demand from China and India in 2012-13.

Farmers plan to grow 265,000 acres of chickpeas, which is more than double last year’s crop of 126,000 acres. Penner was expecting even more because of good prices.

He also anticipated more beans.

Growers intend to plant 285,000 acres, up from 170,000 acres last year.

The market clearly doesn’t think that is enough because bean prices in places like Mexico, Brazil and Argentina are up sharply.

“They’ve been just taking off like crazy, so I think they’re seeing that dry bean acres are not going to be enough in Canada and the U.S.,” said Penner.

Farmers in the United States intend to plant 39 percent more beans.

However, that will only bring North American plantings back to the aver-

Durum acres will surge this year from 2011 by 27 percent, Statistics Canada says.

However, oats acreage will increase only nine percent.

If you extract the impact of last year’s flood-ravaged seeding situation, in which millions of acres went unseeded, it shows that farmers are keen to get back to growing durum at usual levels but see little incentive to growing oats.

This year’s intended oat acreage of 3.4 million acres is low by historical standards, and most analysts think it won’t rebuild stocks.

Oatinsight.com analyst Randy Strychar describes the fundamental oat situation as bullish and friendly, but that is not reflected in oat prices.

From lows of $2.80 to $2.90 US per bushel during the winter, Chicago oat futures have rallied to the $3.30 to $3.40 level. Strychar predicts a range of $3.10 to $3.75 to July.

With corn prices recently falling,

that shows oats have regained competitive strength, but it also undercuts demand.

Cheap corn in the horse feed market will likely replace some oats in the ration, reducing overall sales to the United States. Oats were often the lowest-returning crop in 2012 crop planning guides.

“It’s never penciled out well for the past I don’t know how many years,” said Chuck Penner of LeftField Commodity Research. “It’s still an option, but a shrinking one.”

Some analysts think oat acreage could suffer from the opening up of the CWB’s monopoly. Some farmers embraced oats for their rotations because it allowed them to be free of CWB complications. Now the market is open and that incentive is gone.

Strychar said the relatively low oat acreage will probably create low enough stocks to spark a rally some time in 2012-13. That will be needed to convince farmers to stick with the crop.

Durum is a different matter. The 27 percent acreage increase might have shocked markets, considering the

will still grow all the edible beans they were planning when they were sur veyed in March by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, “which is almost double.”

However, with a tiny acreage base, that won’t flood the market.

Sabourin said his firm is becoming “slightly bullish” on edible bean prices for 2012-13 because of the smaller-than-expected acreage in Manitoba.

“We’re anticipating very tight supply and demand numbers next year,”

said Sabourin.

“If we get a 20 percent increase in acres, I don’t think it’s going to be enough to offset the amount of carryin we’re going to have.”

Competing crops such as soybeans are chasing sunflowers out of the Red River Valley, but Schujman said he hopes new federal money for sunflower variety development will produce at least one variety that farmers will be able to grow with confidence.

“That would be good, but it’s three or four years away,” he said.

Schujman said farmers aren’t keen to grow sunflowers when one of the main varieties is 13 years old.

“Nobody wants to risk it any more.”

One way for the market to counteract the production challenges is to pay a premium for a crop, but Roy Legumex manager Ivan Mambourin said bean prices have lagged behind other crops.

“We were anticipating quite a good increase in edible beans a few

months ago, but with the recent runup in commodity prices, the prices of soy, corn and canola have just taken the wind out of the sails,” said Sabourin. “We’re (now only) expecting a slight increase on most varieties that we handle, with the exception of black beans (which we expect to decline).”

dominant role Canada’s crop plays in the world, but without a truly functional futures market for durum, prices are only known among grain traders.

Analysts describe the number as bearish, but the impact on farmer prices will take a while to assess.

Jon Driedger of FarmLink Marketing Solutions said many producers who weren’t able to seed all the durum acres they could last year want to get it back in this year.

WHEAT | OUTLOOK

Large wheat harvest could take shine off prices Global forecast | The International Grains Council pegged 2012-13 wheat production at 676 million tonnes

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Prospects of a big North American wheat crop will trump the troubles in Europe and the Black Sea region when it comes to establishing values in 2012-13.

“I think it’s possible that there is a little bit of downside room on wheat prices,” said Vince Peterson, vicepresident of overseas operations with U.S. Wheat Associates.

He believes wheat futures on the Kansas City Board of Trade could fall from $6.50 a bushel to as low as $5.50 when American farmers harvest what is expected to be a large hard red winter wheat crop.

However, prices can’t fall too far.

July soft wheat futures on the Chicago Board of Trade are barely above corn futures and the soybean-wheat spread is about $8 per bu., which is the lowest it has ever been.

“While there may be some downside, I think it would be a soft downside,” said Peterson.

He sees 58 to 60 million tonnes of total U.S. wheat production in 2012, up from 54.4 million tonnes last year.

Supply is expected to exceed 80 million tonnes, which would be the fifth or sixth largest total in the last 20 years.

Peterson was stunned by Statistics Canada’s seeding intentions report calling for a 13 percent increase in Canadian wheat acres. However, the wheat increase was mostly due to an increase in durum rather than spring wheat, and the Minneapolis spring wheat futures price rose on the day of the report.

Good growing conditions in Western Canada could further pressure North American wheat prices.

However, Peterson said Canadian farmers might get more from the market than they have in the past.

“Under the (Canadian) Wheat Board system, spring wheat prices to farmers in Canada were much, much below U.S. spring wheat prices. Canadian farmers maybe didn’t realize that, but they were as much as 50 cents to $1 a bu. below U.S. prices.”

Peterson thinks Canadian growers will reap the rewards as Canadian and U.S. prices find an equilibrium under the post single-desk environment.

Prices could be supported by production problems elsewhere.

Late last week, the International Grains Council reduced its 2012-13 forecast for global wheat production by five million tonnes to 676 million tonnes. That is well below the esti-

Analysts don’t expect prices to fall too far as they are tied to corn futures. | FILE PHOTO mated 695 million tonnes this year.

Peterson knows of an analyst who is forecasting an even smaller world crop of 665 million tonnes. The analyst is calling for a 7.4 million tonne contraction in the European Union’s crop, and reductions of 8.4, 5.2 and 2.9 million tonnes in Ukraine,

Kazakhstan and Russia, respectively.

Russian prime minister Vladimir Putin said the country’s total grain exports in 2012-13 could match the 27 million tonnes that is expected to be shipped in 2011-12.

However, Peterson knows an analyst who has the ear of the Russian government who is forecasting a three million tonne decline in Russia’s wheat exports next year to 17.5 million because of dry conditions in southern Russia, where 84 percent of this year’s exports originated.

“We don’t think there will be a rush and a flood of harvest-time pressure pressing prices down in a big way this year as we may have seen in previous years,” he said.

Russian wheat that was $20 per tonne f.o.b. cheaper than U.S. soft red winter wheat out of the Gulf of Mexico in December is now selling for a $15 to $20 per tonne premium to U.S. wheat.

During his hour-long webinar, Peterson touched on demand prospects in some regions of the world where U.S. wheat competes head-tohead with Canadian wheat.

He expects U.S. wheat will be more competitive in markets where the CWB had been undercutting the U.S., such as the United States, Iraq, the European Union, Indonesia, Saudi

Arabia, Algeria and Morocco.

“With the dissolution of the board, that practice virtually has to disappear,” said Peterson. “The net result is a very big win for the U.S.” He also accused the CWB of dumping low quality wheat in the Indian subcontinent.

“Despite their claim that they produce all this great wheat, in fact what they do is dump at very low prices a great proportion of their wheat into Bangladesh and Sri Lanka and compete with the cheapest wheat on the Earth in doing that,” said Peterson.

He also highlighted Colombia, where U.S. shipments in 2011-12 were 300,000 tonnes below the 10-year average of 720,000 tonnes because of a Canadian free trade agreement implemented Aug. 1 that made Canadian wheat more desirable.

“This is a disaster we knew was looming,” said Peterson.

However, the $100 million loss suffered in 2011-12 will be avoided next crop year because of a U.S. free trade agreement that kicks in May 15.

Peterson said a big wild card in wheat markets is Iran, which usually buys about two million tonnes.

There is speculation that the country may import four million tonnes this year as it stockpiles grain in preparation for a military conflict.

U.S. winter wheat crops were in good condition April 28. |

U.S. WHEAT | PRODUCTION

Good quality winter wheat in U.S. CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — Kansas farmer Jerry McReynolds’ wheat fields have developed a full month early, which has him optimistic for a harvest that should yield better than last year’s drought-reduced crop.

Many farmers in Kansas and across southern U.S. Plains states of Texas and Oklahoma seeded their crop at the time of a devastating drought with little hope of a good crop, but timely snow and rain brought the wheat back from the brink.

There are still threats to the region’s crop before the harvest, such as a late frost, but odds are slim of any major failure at this stage of development.

“It’s a crazy year. It looks like the earliest wheat we’ve ever had, maybe the earliest in history,” said McReynolds, 65, who farms in Rooks County in north-central Kansas.

Farmers might start harvest this month instead of mid June as in normal years.

Crop scouts fanned out across the state this week to inspect the crop as

part of an annual tour organized by the Wheat Quality Council.

The largest planted wheat area in four years and the expected early harvest have already sent prices for hard red winter wheat to their lowest level in more than a year.

“It’s a good crop and, in general, there’s plenty of wheat in the world,” said Adam Tepper, commodities analyst with Arlon Group, an agriculturefocused investment company in New York and a crop scout on the tour.

The Kansas yield should be an improvement over last year’s 35 bushels per acre, which the U.S. Department of Agriculture says is the lowest yield in four years.

Heavy rain last weekend in the U.S. Plains may have damaged some of the wheat. The heaviest rain, more than 200 millimetres, occurred April 29 in northern Oklahoma, but southeastern Kansas also received heavy moisture. Flooding was reported in those two areas.

Meanwhile, world wheat stocks at

the end of 2011-12 of 206 million tonnes are the largest in 11 years amid a rebound in global production, the USDA said.

A Reuters poll of analysts and traders pegged the Kansas yield at an average 45 bu. per acre and total state production at 408 million bu., which may be a conservative estimate.

“Based on the crop ratings, crop production could total 457 million bu. and record or near record yield per acre of 49 to 50 bu. per acre is possible,” said Bryce Knorr, senior editor for Farm Futures Magazine.

The USDA said 64 percent of the U.S. winter wheat crop was in good to excellent condition, well above the 34 percent rating a year ago.

A record-large group of 100 attendees will take part in the Hard Wheat Quality Tour, up from about 70 last year. They are from agriculture powerhouses such as Archer Daniels Midland, Bunge Ltd. and Cargill as well as from traders such as Gavilon and Glencore .

MARKETS CANFAX REPORT CANADIAN MARKET WEATHERS STORM Discovery of BSE in a California dairy cow knocked Chicago futures down the three cent limit April 24, but prices later in the week reclaimed some of the lost ground.

U.S. cash cattle fell, allowing packers to post their first operating profits in months.

Despite the turmoil in the United States, the Canadian cash market did well.

The Canfax weighted average price for steers was $110.81 per hundredweight, up 41 cents, and heifers averaged $110.30, up 18 cents.

Most of the week’s trade sold dressed at $187 delivered.

Early low bids on green fed calves encouraged several feedlots to hold off trading until the following week.

The uncertainty in the U.S. caused little buying interest from south of the border.

Volume totalled 20,479 head, down three percent from the previous week, but up 13 percent from last year.

The Alberta fed cash-to-futures basis narrowed to -$5.81.

Weekly exports fell 16 percent to 9,493 to April 14.

Weekly Western Canadian fed cattle slaughter to April 21 totalled 36,208 head, down five percent.

Feedlots remain fairly current.

Improved packer margins and stronger cutouts are supportive, but international reaction to the new U.S. BSE case will affect prices this week.

So far, most buyers reacted calmly.

U.S. carcass weights are well above last year at this time.

U.S. BSE concerns did not affect Canada

COW PRICES RISE Cow numbers at auction tightened.

D1, D2 cows traded $74-$86 to average $79.29, the highest this year. D3 cows averaged $69.58.

The strong Canadian dollar dulled U.S. packer interest, which allowed

local packers to push rail bids $2 lower to $149-$154.

Butcher bull values hit a historical high.

Weekly exports to April 14 totalled 2,770, down 15 percent from the previous week.

FEEDER PRICES SLIP The feeder market held up well considering the BSE issue and the stronger loonie.

The Canfax average steer price dipped 26 cents and heifers fell 81 cents.

Steers and heifers 300-500 pounds fell $1-$2. Dwindling calf supplies are making load lots difficult to assemble.

With expensive feed grain prices, buyers have been tempted to buy heavier animals instead of adding the weight themselves.

Auction volume was steady at 26,465.

Weekly feeder exports to April 14 totalled 4,606, down 16 percent from the previous week.

Interest in calves has weakened because performance on grass could be limited.

In some cases, 600-700 lb. feeders are priced at par or at a slight premium over 500-600 lb.

Clean-up pens of feeders are anticipated to be marketed in the coming weeks.

Bred cows traded $1,210-$1,800 and cow-calf pairs were $1,400$2,200.

BEEF PRICES FIRM The slower slaughter pace in the U.S. allowed packers to push cutouts up $2.50-$3.50.

Montreal wholesale for delivery this week was anticipated steady at $211-$213.

Hog herd growing in Canada

BY D’ARCE MCMILLAN SASKATOON NEWSROOM

There are more signs that the Canadian hog sector is slowly rebounding after downsizing for several years.

Canadian hog producers held an estimated 12 million hogs on April 1, up 1.8 percent from the same date in 2011, said Statistics Canada in its quarterly hogs report.

The growth was mostly in Western Canada, particularly in Saskatchewan, where the herd increased by almost 14 percent in the last year to 905,000 head.

Manitoba’s herd was static at 2.63 million.

Alberta’s herd grew by 3.3 percent to 1.51 million head.

British Columbia’s herd grew one percent to 90,000.

In Eastern Canada, the herd grew by 0.6 percent.

The number of sows on Canadian

farms remained virtually unchanged from April 1 last year at 1.3 million and is still well down from the peak reached in 2005 of 1.6 million.

Hog producers intend to farrow 693,600 sows during the second quarter of 2012, up 2.3 percent from the farrowings during the same period in 2011.

In the first quarter of 2012, 5.4 million hogs were sent to pork packing plants in Canada, a decline of 0.1 percent from the same period a year earlier.

Slaughter in the eastern provinces decreased by 1.7 percent, while that in the western provinces increased by 2.3 percent.

About 1.4 million hogs were exported during the first quarter of 2012, down almost one percent compared to the same period a year earlier.

Exports in the quarter were about half of what they were in 2008 before the U.S. country-of-origin labelling came into effect.

SEEDING | OUTLOOK

Prospect of big crops doesn’t shake the market MARKET WATCH

D’ARCE McMILLAN

Faster economic growth would strain production capability

F

armer intentions to seed a record large canola crop and put a record low number of acres into summerfallow would in the past pressure markets lower.

But not this year. Nothing to get excited about, said the market, which pushed crop prices higher after Statistics Canada released its seeding intentions report.

Record large U.S. corn seeding.

Near record speed in planting crops in the Midwest and northern U.S. plains.

Ho hum, says the market. No reason to panic and bid prices down.

At this early point in the growing season, the outlook is good for a big harvest in North America, but so far, that is giving the market little confidence.

The world needs big crops from the Northern Hemisphere because Southern Hemisphere crops were hammered by drought.

Markets last week were supported by further cuts to Argentina’s soybean crop. Last fall, the forecast was for 52 million tonnes of soybeans in Argentina and 75 million in Brazil.

It now looks like Argentina will produce 42 million tonnes and Brazil 66 million.

Argentina’s corn crop is also smaller, now forecast at 20 million tonnes,

down from early projections of 30 million tonnes.

That deficit in production must be covered by rationing demand and encouraging new crop production, so oilseed prices continue to rise.

But beyond the South American drought, the weather restraints on crop production around the world are far from panic inducing.

Europe had problems with winter freezing and then a period of dry weather that caused damage, particularly to the rapeseed crop, but rain has been regular in April and concerns are receding.

Ukraine has similar problems and its wheat crop will be smaller. It is also a bit dry in southern Russia. However, the problems are nowhere near as black as the drought of two years ago.

There is no worry about China’s wheat or corn crops. India’s pulse production is down a little, but its wheat crop is pegged at 90.23 million

tonnes, up from 86.87 million last year.

And yet prices for major crops are close to the elevated levels seen just before the crash in the second half of 2008.

They are not revisiting the panic peaks of 2007-08 but are nevertheless exceptionally strong.

The market could move a little once seeding is complete and if the weather is conducive to good yields, but not a lot lower, barring a wholesale market meltdown triggered by another crisis in Europe’s debt situation.

So what happens when the world finally straightens out its debt and deficit problems and economies grow again as they did in the mid 2000s?

There is some justification to the argument that economic conditions have less impact on agricultural products than other commodities because people must eat, whether

there is boom or bust.

But that is not the whole story. A key d r i v e r o f g row i n g g l o b a l f o o d demand is the increased demand for meat.

When poor people make more money, they buy more meat and meat requires more agricultural inputs (feed grain, oilseed meal) than a vegetarian diet.

So a booming economy should drive meat demand and that should increase the demand for crops.

The world can barely keep up with food demand in a period of slack growth.

What will happen when a billion people or more want to celebrate a return to economic good fortune by ordering a meat dish at their favourite restaurant?

ALBERTA ELECTION | RURAL VOTE

CRAIG’S VIEW

Election shows rural Alberta wants more from premier

T

he dust is settling after the April 23 Alberta provincial election, and premier Alison Redford’s decisive victory indicates a shift in the way Albertans see their province.

The new premier is guiding the Progressive Conservative party to the centreright on the political spectrum. Defeat of the Wildrose Alliance party and its further-right views indicate majority support of that shift.

As the victor, Redford said she plans to position Alberta to drive the national agenda on health care and energy and will reach out to provincial and international neighbours. By contrast, the Wildrose campaigned with more inwardlooking policies, albeit important ones, including land use, hospital wait times and MLA wages.

Given that Redford continues a 41-year PC dynasty in Alberta, it may be hard to swallow the notion that change is coming to a province often unfairly labelled as unsophisticated and even redneck.

However, the election gives Redford a widespread mandate that she hasn’t had since winning the party leadership six months ago, and her direction is not the same as her predecessor, Ed Stelmach, or indeed that of Ralph Klein, Don Getty or Peter Lougheed.

Albertans’ shift toward the centre right is not unlike Saskatchewan’s wholesale support of Brad Wall’s Saskatchewan Party in the past two elections, the most recent one in November 2011. It gave a wide majority to the party born of a Progressive Conservative and Liberal fusion and hence a shift to the centre-right.

Last week, Statistics Canada data showed Alberta and Saskatchewan led Canada’s economic growth in 2011.

Alberta surged by 5.2 percent over the previous year and Saskatchewan grew by 4.8 percent. In both cases, strong export demand for natural resources was key.

Now these two provinces, with their generally aligned political views and electoral mandates for at least the next four years, are well positioned to become Canada’s economic powerhouse.

Alberta, forever a “have” province, has been joined by Saskatchewan in recent years. Together, the two have potential to become the drivers of the national economy and, perhaps to a lesser extent, national policy.

But for rural Alberta, particularly southern Alberta, there is now a caveat.

The region elected Wildrose ML As almost across the board, leaving citizens in the unaccustomed position of representation in the legislature by the official opposition. Rural Saskatchewan had a long and sometimes bitter taste of this during the New Democratic government years.

Will the Alberta agricultural heartland have the same clout it had before April 23?

The defining issue in rural Alberta was Conservative land use legislation. Widespread concerns about threats to property rights resonated in the rural south but still aren’t well understood by the governing party’s expanded urban base.

Indeed, the government itself doesn’t appear to have appreciated the depth of rural angst — at least not until it saw the poll results.

The PCs must address this, and presumably they will be pushed to do so by the Wildrose opposition. If they fail, the issue has potential to widen the rural-urban divide.

And that divide bears watching, in Alberta and in every other province. As our population becomes steadily more urbanized, farmers and ranchers may find their concerns receive less attention.

If and when the next agricultural crisis occurs in Alberta, will the Conservatives be there with assistance? Will the Wildrose Alliance, which campaigned for smaller government and individual independence, fight for remedy?

Given the new look of the political map, attention to the widening rural-urban divide will be key to the future success of Canada’s new economic powerhouse in Alberta and Saskatchewan.

POLITICS | IMPRESSIVE MP

Last year’s election introduced Parliament to one of its brighter lights NATIONAL VIEW

BARRY WILSON

I

t is a pity that most Canadians who care about politics get most of their sense of Parliament from the daily political gong show that is question period.

It means they mainly get the “what did he know and when did he know it” theatrics of the daily gladiator show, important as that is to governmental accountability.

It means they miss sometimes

thoughtful and eloquent speeches delivered by MPs who do more than read speaking notes.

It means they mainly miss the often detailed and relatively non-partisan work that goes on in most committees.

And it means that they mainly miss one of the gems of Canada’s 41st Parliament — Elizabeth May. Whether you adhere to her environmental policies or not, she is one of the great additions of the election a year ago this week — smart, hardworking, informed and largely immune to the partisan histrionics that often taint the public view of Parliament.

Officially, May is an independent MP first elected from a British Columbia riding in 2011 after taking down a Conservative cabinet minis-

ter. She also created history by being the first Green Party MP elected to the Commons and she has been Green Party leader since 2006.

Getting there was not easy. This former Progressive Conservative environmental adviser and environmental activist ran three times unsuccessfully over three decades before finally snagging a seat.

She has taken to the Commons like a Nova Scotia Duck Toller to water.

As an independent, she rarely gets a spot in question period, but when she does, the questions are pointed, thoughtful and well researched.

With little research staff, she reminded the Conservative government April 30 in the last question of the day that in March 2005 when the Liberals were in power, then-opposition leader Stephen Harper was apo-

plectic about an environmental rule change being larded into a massive budget implementation bill.

This year, environmental regulations and bills by the dozens are being changed in the 500-page budget implementation bill.

What has changed in Harper’s thinking, she wondered.

It was a great question.

As an independent, May does not get a place on a parliamentary committee, but she often spends hours sitting through committees, taking notes and learning.

Late last year when CWB hearings were stretching into the night, there sat May at the table.

“I won’t get a question but a lot of my supporters on the Prairies care about this so I want to understand it,” she answered when a reporter won-

dered why she would spend hours at a hearing on legislation not high on the Green Party agenda.

However, as an MP, she has the right to speak in debates, and she shines.

When one of the Conservative free trade bills was before the Commons earlier this year, she delivered a wellreasoned and fact-filled 20-minute speech without a script or a note. It was a performance.

Once upon a time in this town, calling someone a “Parliament Man” was a high compliment, praise of his mastery of the central Canadian democratic institution. John Diefenbaker, Stanley Knowles and Allan MacEachen all were Parliament Men. Elizabeth May, after just one year here, legitimately can be called a Parliament Woman whose mastery of the place is a joy to watch.

& OPEN FORUM BUDGET CUTS | PRAIRIE FARM REHABILITATION ADMINISTRATION

INFORMATION | MORE IS GOOD

Progress or purgatory at the PFRA

Sections change to bring you more good stuff

BY TINA CAUMARTIN

W

e are a rural family living the dream — or we were until April 11, when we had the rug pulled out from under us.

We are one of the families affected by the federal government’s cuts to the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration.

Not only did the federal government and its agencies not give prior warning, but it has now left us in limbo. We have received no official date of termination, only a vague reference to this year or next year.

However, considering the well laid out plan thus far, it could be next month.

Was the PFRA eliminated because it is a cost-recovery agency that runs a profit (or close to it), or was it wiped out based on the government ideal that to progress it cannot run businesses? Progress or not, it sure feels like purgatory to us.

My husband is a pasture manager in the PFRA system. His job is that of a professional cowboy; the only difference is the paperwork.

As a young man, he wanted to live the dream of riding horses and working cattle. He obtained a position in the PFRA system and worked as a seasonal rider for many years, striving to prove himself.

He worked hard to move up the ranks, finally obtaining success and becoming a manager.

Four years ago, when my husband finally received the promotion to pasture manager in an area in Manitoba unfamiliar to us, we moved lock, stock and barrel to our new home.

The kids were enrolled in a new school and I had to find a new job.

PFRA employees have been left in the dark about when their jobs will be eliminated. | We all live at his job 365 days a year, and inquiries come 24-7. This is more than a full-time job; this is a way of life. Not a day goes by that someone doesn’t phone or stop by asking about programs, rates, pasture availability or 100 other questions. If my husband isn’t in the yard when one of these questions is asked, the kids or I act as secretary and forward the question. We all played a part in the success of his job.

There are 87 pastures in Manitoba and Saskatchewan, with 26 of them in Manitoba. Each of them has a manager, with a few exceptions.

Part of being a pasture manager is

that you have to live on site, where you rent your home. Managers and riders have to provide their own horses and tack. In essence, each is a farmer, but without the personal farm or livestock because owning more than 12 head of cattle is considered a conflict of interest. Most employees are nearing retirement, but those of us who were planning to spend another 20 to 30 years working are left with no job and no home.

The managers’ and riders’ equity was in their animals and equipment, but now these will flood the market as they go up for sale. They will also have to find homes and ask banks for

FILE PHOTO

mortgages while admitting they have been laid off.

As for jobs, you don’t see many ads in any paper looking for hard-working, honest country boys. Retraining is their only option.

You may think that’s a fact of life, but what if the politicians were told tomorrow, “move out of your house and get a job farming?” Would they handle the situation with grace and poise? I think not. They would be kicking and screaming to keep their jobs.

We are neither kicking nor screaming but would have appreciated fair treatment, advance notice and fair compensation for all we sacrificed.

VITERRA SALE | SHARES

Viterra sale small improvement to SWP investment HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

y all indications, the blockbuster deal to sell Viterra to Glencore International will proceed. Viterra shareholders will approve the sale May 29, happy to get the bump in share values produced by the takeover.

With some of the assets flowing to Richardson and Agrium, both Canadian companies, any concern from regulators will be muted.

Some argue that with Glencore and Richardson about equal in size in Canada, there will now be more competition for grain. The concentration of fertilizer sales with Agrium would seem to be the only part of the deal where regulators might require

adjustments.

At this point, it’s not entirely clear how some of the assets will be divided. Viterra employees are waiting along with everyone else to see how it plays out. There’s been a lot of analysis on what the deal will mean for farmers. For farmers who are also original shareholders, it’s clearly been a rotten investment.

Rob Rongve of RBC Dominion Securities in North Battleford, Sask., has many clients who held onto their Saskatchewan Wheat Pool shares and who will now receive a fraction of the original value.

Farmer equity in the pool was converted to shares when the co-op went public in 1996. Producers, many of whom had tens of thousands of dollars in equity, received $10 shares in exchange. Anyone buying shares in the original offering had to pay $12.

Some producers cashed out immediately. Others held and watched with glee as share prices rose to a high of $24.40 in 1998. Some cashed out at those high values and were later smiling as the financial fortunes

of the company rapidly declined.

SWP was into everything imaginable. In addition to an aggressive concrete elevator building campaign, it had terminals in Poland and Mexico, a hog production division and even a stake in Robin’s Donuts.

When the empire came crashing down, it looked for a time like the whole operation was going under.

May o S c h m i d t s p e a rh e a d e d a restructuring that saved the company from financial ruin. As Rongve points out, the restructuring came at a big cost to shareholders. There was a 20:1 share consolidation in April 2005.

Not long after the near death experience, Schmidt engineered the surprising takeover of Agricore United to form Viterra. The history books will herald his financial genius and shrewd deal making.

When the Glencore deal is approved, exit package has a reported value of more than $30 million.

Other top executives will also walk away with multiple millions.

How about farmers who tucked

away their $10 shares hoping for a retirement nest egg? Rongve says there were a few years of dividend payments in the range of 40 cents a share, but that was in the early years before SWP hit financial trouble.

Some may look at the $16.25 a share buyout value and think they’re money ahead. Going from $10 to $16.25 over the course of 16 years isn’t a marvelous return, but at least it’s a gain.

Of course, that isn’t the real comparison. With the 20:1 consolidation, the $16.25 a share actually equates to a value of 81.25 cents. Equity of $10,000 in 1996 will be cashed out at $812.

You can’t blame Schmidt for taking SWP public. That was done long before he came on the scene. Without Mayo’s efforts, shareholders may have walked away with nothing. Now they’ll get slightly more than that.

Schmidt, on the other hand, will do quite well.

Kevin Hursh is an agricultural journalist, consultant and farmer. He can be reached by e-mail at kevin@hursh.ca.

y all accounts, there’s only one thing that interests farmers as much as the weather, and that’s markets.

If you have been watching and reading closely, you will know by now that this week’s Western Producer is a bit different from what you’re accustomed to. The reason for the changes is simple: we’re trying to cram in as much markets information as possible.

Starting in this edition, the markets chart that formerly ran on page 8 moves to the back of the paper, facing the weather page.

This provides more space at the front for markets stories written, assigned or chosen by markets editor D’Arce McMillan.

D’Arce wrote about the changes in his column last week if you would like to check it out.

The markets section has become a destination for WP readers, who have told us in no uncertain terms that they want more markets information.

This is becoming even more crucial as the changes stemming from the eradication of the CWB’s single desk begin to roll out.

The other noticeable change will be the new home of Farm Living, edited by Karen Morrison. This section, with its softer focus, has traditionally been at the “back of the book” as newspaper lingo has it.

It was positioned there years ago, when The Western Producer could not offer colour on every page. Editors at the time rightly thought it was important to have colour for the lovely lifestyle photos of food, families and farmyards that usually run in Farm Living, and colour was available in that location.

However, about a year and a half ago, the WP was able to change its configuration to provide colour throughout each edition.

Moving Farm Living to the inside section, as we call it, will therefore not take away from the photography and design that makes that section special, while opening up a back page for the markets chart.

Change is always a little annoying, even if it’s for the best, so we do hope that you spend some time getting used to the new configuration.

We did it to increase markets coverage, which we think is a good reason.

We would also really like to hear from you.

A survey has been set up to gauge your reaction to our changes at www. producer.com/feedback/. You could even win prizes.

OPEN FORUM LETTERS POLICY:

SHELTERBELTS IMPORTANT

Letters should be less than 300 words. Name, address and phone number must be included for verification purposes and only letters accepted for publication will be confirmed with the author.

To the Editor:

Open letters should be avoided; priority will be given to letters written exclusively for the Producer.

Editors reserve the right to reject or edit any letter for clarity, brevity, legality and good taste. Cuts will be indicated by ellipsis (…)

Publication of a letter does not imply endorsement by the Producer.

I was angered and dismayed when I read the article in your April 19 edition in which the federal government has announced that it will be closing down the shelterbelt program.

This at a time when there is great concern regarding climate change and our ability to lower our carbon footprint.

Trees not only reduce the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, they provide wildlife habitat.

When planted around a farmstead, they help reduce the heat loss from houses and therefore lower the amount of fuel needed for

heating in the winter.

This move on the part of the Harper government clearly sends a message that the environment is of very low priority.

They seem to assume that farmers will continue to plant shelterbelts if the program is run by private industry. I am sure many people will not be able to afford the cost of the trees to plant field or farmstead shelterbelts.

I urge people who are concerned about the abolishment of the shelter belt program to contact their elected representative and voice their opinion.

Mary Ann Predy, Ponoka, Alta.

RESEARCH FUNDING UP To the Editor: In reference to research funding for Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, I would like to clarify some misconceptions put forward in the article, “Research dollars need to double in order to regain lost ground” (WP March 22).

When I appeared at the House of Commons standing committee on agriculture and agri-food, I told members of Parliament in charge of approving AAFC’s and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s budget for the upcoming year that research funding is indeed up 15 percent over 1994 levels, the critical

time before the Liberal government of the day slashed agr iculture research funding.

What failed to come out in the article is that in 1994, AAFC included in its operations what is now CFIA. According to the Public Accounts of Canada for 1994-95, (the government’s audited books produced after the fiscal year ends), spending for research in AAFC was $261 million dollars, which is $350 million adjusted for inflation in today’s dollars.

According to the Public Accounts for 2010-11 (the last year to have been audited), AAFC spent $271 million on research activities while the CFIA science branch spent another $140 million for a total of $412 million.

This is a 15 percent increase over 1994-95 spending in today’s dollars.

As minister, I am proud that our government is investing in research and science across the agricultural portfolio. These investments go into basic research, innovation, commercialization and food safety. Farmers know that each part of the science chain builds upon other parts of the chain.

While previous Liberal governments didn’t bother to consult with industry and believed they knew best what research farmers needed, our government continues to work with industry to invest in the science and innovation that will actually return dividends to the farmgate.

Gerry Ritz, federal ag minister, Ottawa, Ont.

FOREIGN HANDS To the Editor: It’s quite interesting to watch Ottawa neglect its fiduciary responsibilities and dance around the impending sale of Viterra, Canada’s largest grain company, to Glencore, a giant Swiss commodity trader.

Unlike most national leaders, prime minister (Stephen) Harper seems totally unconcerned about our largest grain company falling into foreign hands.

Could it be he does not want to admit that his agriculture minister was totally wrong?

Agriculture minister (Gerry) Ritz assured the House of Commons that after destroying our single desk wheat board, it would be Canadian grain companies who would be buying up foreign grain companies.

Now that the exact opposite has happened, they are both pretending not to notice.

Oops, another multibillion-dollar slip by our thoughtful agriculture minister.

This deal still needs regulatory approval in Canada and Australia.

Since it is a foreign takeover, the Canadian government must decide if it is of “net benefit” to the country.

We can take prime minister Stephen Harper’s March 26 fawning about Glencore’s global marketing reach as a signal Ottawa has little appetite for blocking the deal.

Of course, our farmer controlled wheat board also had global reach, but the fact it served farmers, not foreign shareholders, seemed to be

OPINION Ottawa’s reason for killing it; too bad for farmers and Canadians.

With the prime minister wrecking our $7 billion farmer controlled Canadian Wheat Board, what chance is there he will stand in the way of a $6.1 billion foreign takeover, which will give the private trade control of Canadian grain and the farmers who grow it?

Kyle Korneychuk, Pelly, Sask.

WHAT HAS CHANGED? To the Editor: Bill C-19, legislation to kill the long gun registry, was signed into law by the governor general on Thursday, April 5.

Since the enactment of C-68, the firearm community has been waiting

since 1995 for this to happen. Now the question is, what has changed now that the long gun registry is dead?

The only change will be that long guns no longer will need to be registered, which are not prohibited or restricted. This applies to the majority of rifles and shotguns.

What has not changed is that you as a gun owner can still be prosecuted if you do not have a valid possession only (P OL) or possession acquisition license (PAL).Most of C-68 is still intact and in effect.

C-68 was sold by the Liberals under the guise of public safety, when in fact these laws were merely a means to limit hard fought freedoms.

We need to work hard at repealing the rest of C-68 so that law-abiding citizens do not become criminals just because they have a firearm safely stored in their home.

Remember a guy by the name of Stephen Harper who said many times publicly that if elected he would repeal C-68 in its entirety? Do you still believe him?

Perhaps you should let him know.

Inky Mark, Dauphin, Man.

GRAIN BUSINESS CRUCIAL To the Editor: Recently I returned from a trip and very quickly found out more about the “new” Saskatchewan.

The first newspaper I picked up told the story.

A news story in the Regina LeaderPost March 14 reported on changes coming in the grain handling business. It stated, “(Premier Brad) Wall has already said he doesn’t consider

THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | MAY 3, 2012

the grain handling business to be a strategic resource in the same manner as potash”.

A Western Producer story the same week said “the grain business.”

Is it possible a Saskatchewan premier would make such a statement?

Yes, potash is a strategic resource.

But grain is still just as important.

If the grain handling business doesn’t function adequately, the grain business quickly becomes constipated.

Any Saskatchewan premier who says what Wall said should be run out of town on the first bus.

The president of the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities was reported in the same paper speaking on the takeover of Viterra: “We’ll just have to wait and see what happens.”

In other words, he is content to let others decide the makeup of our

economy which, in turn, determines the kind of livelihood we have.

For more than 100 years, the people of Saskatchewan worked to build institutions and introduce measures that would help us shape our own destiny.

Many of those things have now been lost. Others far away decide things for us. At some time the people of the province will once again have to fight for the control of our destiny.

Every premier of Saskatchewan, regardless of political party, until the present has worked for a sound grain handling system in order to have a better agricultural industry. That support is needed today as much as in the past.

Wake up, Mr. Wall.

John S. Burton, Regina, Sask.

W

hen Samuel de Champlain invited Louis Hebert to come with him to the New Land he was trying to settle, Hebert gladly responded. He was also a man who had dreams.

The year was 1617, and the two men believed in the idea of a New France, though few Europeans managed to live there through a complete winter.

Champlain ordered his men to build the Heberts a sturdy stone house and help them clear a plot of land. The property was along the St. Clair River, near Quebec City.

Champlain was able to reach out to form informal alliances with many of the native nations, and the Heberts benefited greatly from these alliances. They had brought seeds and supplies from Europe, but had no idea what the growing conditions were like in the St. Lawrence Valley.

Champlain tells of exploring the shores of Lake Huron and finding an estimated 30,000 inhabitants who grew enough produce to feed themselves and trade with nations to the south. Their trade items were corn and meal, but they also grew squash, sunflowers, plums, small apples, raspberries, strawberries and nuts.

The natives generously shared their expertise with the Heberts. In addition, in times of crisis the natives were generous to the fledging Europeans.

For more than 12 years, the colonists were dependent on food being shipped from France. When the ships were delayed the threat of starvation among the settlers was high. It was the natives who supplied what provisions they could, occasionally taking individuals and families to live with them.

The story unfolds in Champlain’s Dream, written by David Fischer. It gives great insight into the years 1600-35.

What a gift to read this publication.

CANADIAN GRAIN COMMISSION | REVIEW

Grain commission turns sights on containerized grain STORIES BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The Canadian Grain Commission is taking a closer look at containerized grain to determine if container packing facilities should require a CGC license.

Commissioner Murdoch MacKay said containerized grain is one of the items being discussed in a review of CGC services.

The volume of grain shipped in containers has increased over the past decade and is likely to see further expansion when the CWB loses

its export monopoly over wheat and barley Aug. 1, MacKay said.

The Canada Grain Act stipulates that grain dealers, primary elevators, process elevators, transfer elevators and terminal elevators require a CGC license to conduct business.

However, container packing facilities do not require a license.

“Container traffic has increased significantly, and there is a lot of grain that is being exported by containers,” MacKay said.

“Container loading facilities aren’t even mentioned in the Canada Grains Act right now … (so) maybe

this is something we have to look at.”

The commission is cur rently reviewing its operations and is preparing a list of recommended changes to the Canada Grain Act. Those recommendations will be submitted to the federal government later this year.

If implemented by Ottawa, they could lead to changes in licensing, governance, bonding requirements and inspection and weighing services.

The commission has already consulted with producer groups and the grain industry to determine what changes they would like to see.

The CGC will likely emerge from the review process as a leaner organization that has fewer employees, offers fewer services and requires less government money to carry out its mandate.

A greater proportion of the commission’s annual operating budget is likely to be collected through user fees.

Other changes being considered include: • the introduction of a new, more efficient governance structure within the commission • potential changes to current bonding provisions that ensure the

financial viability of CGC licensees • the adoption of new and improved dispute resolution mechanisms • the elimination of inward inspection and weighing services on shipments of grain that move domestically within Canada Inward inspection has been identified as a service that is likely to be dropped from the commission’s mandate.

MacKay said the CGC will continue to inspect and weigh outbound grain shipments that are destined for overseas markets, but not necessarily grain that is shipped within Canada.

RESEARCH | CHECK-OFF COLLECTION

Sask. wheat commission proposed Steering committee to be created by spring The wheels are in motion to establish a new wheat commission in Saskatchewan.

Norm Hall, president of the Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan, said producer groups interested in establishing a provincial wheat commission will be meeting in late spring or early summer.

Those organizations are expected to form a steering committee that will lay the foundations for the new commission and discuss issues such as levy rates and timelines.

If all goes as planned, the proposed commission could be operating within 15 to 39 months and would begin collecting a refundable producer levy on each tonne of wheat produced in the province.

Revenues would be used to fund wheat research and wheat breeding programs, market development work and other functions that support a profitable and sustainable wheat industry.

“We’re falling behind (in wheat breeding and research) and as farmers, we need to step up to the plate … and invest in our industry,” Hall said.

“If we don’t put more money into wheat breeding, (life science) companies will, and they will … (control) wheat seed, similar to what’s happened in the canola industry.”

With work underway in Saskatchewan, it appears that all three prairie provinces could soon have new wheat commissions in place.

Work is also taking place in Manitoba and Alberta.

Kent Erickson, co-chair of the Alberta Wheat Commission steering

committee, said his group is still hoping to have the Alberta commission operating by Aug. 1.

The Alberta group is proposing a producer levy of 70 cents per tonne in addition to an existing levy of 30 cents per tonne that is already being administered by the Western Grains Research Foundation.

Hall said total wheat levies of $1 a tonne, or roughly three cents per bushel, would also be a realistic target for Saskatchewan.

“We don’t see (that) as an unreasonable amount to ask Saskatchewan producers to invest,” he said.

Hall said the need for producer investment in wheat breeding and research has never been more evident.

Ottawa’s recent decisions to scale back spending on public wheat breeding programs and close a cereal breeding facility in Winnipeg is a clear indication that stable government funding is no longer assured.

In a recent news release, APAS also suggested that federal legislation changing the role of the CWB has created a void in areas such as wheat research, grain quality assurance, market development and farmer advocacy.

Dave Sefton, recently elected chair of the WGRF, said the formation of provincial wheat commissions is a positive development for the wheat industry.

The new levies would not have an immediate impact on the collection of WGRF levies, he added.

Support for the WGRF remains strong among producer groups across Western Canada, he said.

CFIA | CHANGES

Staff reductions will make food system unsafe: union

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

The impact of $56 million in federal budget cuts on the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and food safety continues to fuel a war of conflicting claims in Ottawa.

Last week, Public Service Alliance of Canada union president Bob Kingston said announced cuts will make the Canadian food system less safe, creating a system of “cross your fingers” and hope for the best.

Agriculture minister Gerry Ritz fired back that the issue is saving money by finding efficiencies in CFIA. “We would never put food safety

at risk.”

And while it would not make a senior official available to respond to union charges, CFIA issued a statement insisting it is “strengthening its approach” to food inspection.

“The bottom line is clear — protecting the safety of the Canadian food supply remains the agency’s top priority.”

At an April 24 news conference, Kingston offered a far different version of the impact of changes at CFIA. Citing comments made by operations vice-president Stephen Baker at private meetings with employees to explain the changes, he said the future includes: • the end of pre-clearing imported

meat before it gets to the border • a major revamp of inspecting product labels • a new inspection system that “will radically alter the way in which we actually do verification and compliance and enforcement activities in the inspection space” In answer to a question about the impact of a 10 percent CFIA budget cut and claims that front-line inspectors will not be affected, the union says Baker replied: “I don’t know how you can take 10 percent of your budget and not deal with the front line.”

Kingston said the clear message from agency executives is that while some front-line inspectors will remain, they will not be experts in the

commodity they are inspecting but rather generalists whose main job will be to review company records of what they have done and decide whether they followed the rules.

“With fewer resources and inspection staff, CFIA is being forced to water down food safety inspection and introduce more industry selfregulation,” he told the Parliament Hill news conference.

In its statement, CFIA said the end of pre-clearance for imported meat is part of an “inspector modernization” plan.

“The CFIA is planning to supplement traditional inspection methods that focus on the processing environment and the end product with more

sophisticated science and risk-based approaches in order to verify that industry’s controls are effective and that industry is producing safe food on an ongoing basis,” it said.

During a news conference, Ritz said changes at the agency are meant to move it from the world of paper records to an electronic information technology age.

Meanwhile, CFIA announced on its website last week that within two years it will be closing three prairie quarantine stations that it says are no longer used — at Monchy, Sask., Coutts, Alta., and Nisku, Alta.

It said services will not be affected and no inspector positions will be eliminated.

FEDERAL BUDGET | CUTBACKS

Ag Canada cuts four positions at Lethbridge Research Centre Reproductive physiology, library and media graphics among cuts

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Four positions will be lost at Agric u l t u r e C a n a d a’s L e t h b r i d g e Research Centre as a result of federal budget cuts.

Brian Freeze, research manager at the centre, said the reproductive physiology program will be cut, affecting two scientists.

That program studied beef cattle embryos and factors affecting fertility.

Also on the chopping block are a librar y position and the media graphics position, said Freeze.

More than 1,000 agriculture-related public servants are slated to lose their jobs across the country over the next several years as budget cuts take hold.

Agriculture Canada was directed in the last federal budget to reduce spending by 10 percent, or about $310 million, over the next two years. Several research facilities on the Prairies stand to sustain major program and job losses, among them the cereal research centre in Winnipeg.

An Agriculture Canada media relations supervisor said the department will continue to conduct research at more than 50 locations, including research centres, labs, farms and outreach offices.

“The work in all of our research c e n t re s w i l l , h o w e v e r, re f l e c t broader changes in our research pr ior ities so we can focus our efforts in areas where we can have a greater impact,” Patrick Girard said in an e-mail.

He said the Lethbridge research centre will continue its wheat breeding program and other ongoing research activities. However, the department is expecting industry to take an active role in deciding what varieties have the best commercial potential.

Agriculture would be a major winner across the country if Canada signs a free trade deal with the European Union this year, the federal Conservative government said last week.

On April 27, it launched an aggressive national campaign to sell the potential benefits of an as-yetincomplete free trade deal, touting the potential for increased beef, grain and oilseed shipments to the market of 500 million.

As ministers and MPs fanned out across the country to sell the benefits of a deal, Prince Alberta MP Randy Hoback was one of the sales team.

In Regina, he promised a deal would “lock in permanent duty free access” for typical exports like wheat, oilseeds and pulses. The province’s agriculture and food industry typically sells more than $700 million worth of product to the EU each year.

“There is a huge potential if we get access to 500 million European consumers before the Americans do,” he said in an interview.

In Alberta, the pitch was for more

oats and canola oil.

In Manitoba, it was increased seed sales and rye.

In Prince Edward Island, the promise was sales of more frozen blueberries, frozen french fries and other potato products.

Even in Quebec, where a contentious issue is whether European dairy and cheese processors should have better access to Canada’s protected dairy market, the government said the food industry that already sells more than $600 million worth of product to the EU could benefit from greater sales of maple syrup, food

and preserved fruit products.

Across the country, leaders of agricultural export sectors attended the government events to support the negotiation.

Trade minister Ed Fast and foreign affairs minister John Baird launched the blitz in Ottawa, which Canadian Agri-Food Trade Alliance executive director Kathleen Sullivan attended to endorse the effort.

“These deals, combined, could increase agricultural exports significantly,” she said in a statement issued at the minister’s speech.

“Missing out on these deals could

have devastating consequences for agriculture in this country.”

Critics, including the Council of Canadians and the National Farmers Union, were quick to challenge the government claims of potential benefits and to argue Canada could lose jobs and sovereignty if preferential access is given to European companies and investors.

On Parliament Hill, the New Democratic Party opposition last week began to soften its generally critical stance on Canadian trade deals, promoting itself as trade-friendly but not if deals prop up or benefit foreign governments with poor worker or human rights records.

In fact, NDP resistance to earlier trade deals was a key focus of Fast’s pitch to the Economic Club of Canada. He said Ottawa was launching the blitz to sell the deal because “antitrade advocates” are relentless in their opposition.

He singled out the NDP. “Don’t be fooled by the rhetoric,” he said in an unusually partisan speech at what is supposed to be a non-partisan forum. “When the NDP talks about fair trade, that is a code word for no trade.”

He said opponents of trade deals have a vision of Canada as “a country that cowers, a Canada that cannot compete.”

And he directly called on the business representatives in the crowd to become more active in supporting the aggressive trade agenda.

“What Canada needs right now are more champions for trade,” said Fast, an MP from Abbotsford, B.C. One issue that the minister did not mention was Canada’s defence of supply management in the negotiations and in particular, high dairy tariffs that limit access for European cheese.

The EU has made dairy access a key demand in the talks.

Strike mandate against CP rail

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

As many as 5,000 workers at Canadian Pacific Railway will be in a legal strike position as early as May 22 unless their union and the railway company can reach a new labour agreement by that date.

The Teamsters Canada Rail Conference, which represents conductors, yard workers, engineers and traffic controllers, announced last week that TCRC members had voted 95 percent in favour of a strike mandate.

The railway and TCRC members have been involved in labour negotiations since October, 2011 but have yet to reach an agreement on several key issues including pensions, wages and time off.

Affected workers have been without a contract since Jan. 1, 2012.

CP spokesperson Ed Greenberg downplayed the strike mandate, suggesting talks between the company and the union are continuing.

Zeros in on target | Charged droplets attracted to underside of leaves

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

An aerial desiccation mix applied at only one U.S. gallon of liquid per acre achieved 100 percent kill in an Iowa soybean field last summer.

The potent mix had a one to three ratio of Roundup to water, applied at a rate of one gallon per acre through a Spectrum electrostatic system mounted on a Robinson R44 helicopter.

“It just simply annihilated every living plant in the field,” said Gary Johnson of Johnson Helicopter Services, who made the application.

“We’ve always been told we do a better job with more water, but that’s just not true. It’s the exact opposite.

Less water gives us a better job. The product is more concentrated, but you have to get it all on the plant, not the ground. That’s where the electrostatic comes in to play.”

A significant amount of spray normally falls on the ground or drips off the leaves and ends up on the ground. However, charged droplets are attracted to the leaves.

The Earth carries a negative charge, but the plants are taller than the field surface, which is where the charged droplets go. Rather than dripping off the leaves, droplets bond to the plant.

Johnson said the economics of electrostatic spraying extend beyond the obvious benefit of 100 percent kill on the field.

Helicopter applicators typically put down two to five U.S. gallons of liquid per acre.

Even if an applicator has already cut down to two gallons, another 50 percent cut means the pilot can spray twice as many acres per fill. The economic benefit can be huge for an applicator still spraying five U.S. gallons of liquid per acre.

Each fill can take five minutes or longer, depending on the proximity of the field to the service truck. Cutting the number of fills per day keeps expensive helicopters in the air and working more hours.

That’s especially critical in fixed wing and helicopter applications because of the relatively small payload compared to ground sprayers.

Both the applicator and the customer benefit from the efficiency.

“There’s one company I spray for that says they’ll only order my electrostatic helicopter now. They won’t use anything else.”

Another important feature of the electrostatic system is the distribution of active product on each leaf.

“It’s a big advantage to have the spray go underneath the leaves.

That’s especially good for insecticides and some fungicides,” said Johnson.

“I don’t know of any other system anywhere that can do that. The spray pattern literally wraps itself all around the plant. And that’s why we can cut back on product and

water,” he said.

“Of course, I can’t recommend anything that’s off label, but guys are cutting their chemical rates by 20 percent and getting the same or better coverage than the full 100 percent rate.”

Johnson has one Bell Long Ranger and three Robinson helicopters. He has electrostatic on only one of the Robinsons, but plans to equip the other three helicopters with the $38,000 Spectrum systems next year.

He does not charge extra for the Spectrum-equipped applicator, nor will he charge extra after the entire fleet is equipped.

“Here’s why. This electrostatic system is leading edge 21st century stuff.

Regular nozzles? They date back to the 1950s and 1940s. That’s obsolete,” he said.

“Farmers have come to expect that the people who do custom work for them will use only the latest technology. They deserve the latest and best technology. South America is way ahead of us. They’ve been using electrostatic sprayers for years.”

Johnson said the concept of using charged droplets for better coverage with reduced water should theoretically work for ground applicators, but the SprayCoupe foray into that technology was thwarted by dust kicked up by the machine.

LEFT: Depending on boom size and intended use, some helicopters use single nozzles like this while others like Gary Johnson’s require twin nozzles to obtain the right flow.

When twin Spectrum nozzles are required, they simply screw onto a regular T fitting. The silver cylinder that shrouds each nozzle is electrically charged. As the spray passes through this ring, it receives either a positive or negative charge.

Miniaturization of electronic equipment and the introduction of ceramic nozzles are the two factors that made electrostatic spraying viable for aerial applicators.

SPRAYING | ELECTROSTATIC TECHNOLOGY

Electrostatics make plants eager to accept spray Opposites attract | When positively charged droplets zero in on leaves, they become negative, allowing droplets to bond

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

The Spectrum system on Gary Johnson’s helicopter employs the same basic charged particle technology that the spray paint industry has used for decades.

The spray droplet is electrically charged, and the target has the opposite charge. The droplet can’t help but be drawn to the target.

It doesn’t matter if the target is a car or a corn plant, and the droplet can be anything from paint to poison. It always works.

Spectrum Electrostatic Sprayer Inc. of Houston, Texas, has been building this type of equipment for ground sprayers for 27 years, says founder, co-owner and technical director Blake Dobbins.

It began selling aerial systems for helicopters and fixed wing aircraft 13 years ago. Dobbins said commercial aerial applicators prove the electrostatic technology works better than conventional nozzles every time a plane flies in to do pattern tests.

Each aircraft sprays dye over strings and cards, and a computer measures the actual deposition of dye that

If a negatively charged droplet approaches the plant, it instantly becomes positive.

BLAKE DOBBINS SPECTRUM ELECTROSTATIC SPRAYER INC.

sticks to the target cards.

“Conventional applicators generally get between 1.8 and two drops spraying at the recommended rate of three to five (U.S.) gallons liquid per acre,” said Dobbins.

“Applicators with electrostatic systems consistently get 2.8 to 3.6 drops spraying at just one U.S. gallon liquid per acre.”

Dobbins asked the U.S. Department of Agriculture to analyze droplets of both the conventional and electrostatic types of sprayers.

“The USDA determined that one gallon of water from a conventional sprayer has 267 million droplets of 350 microns. But they’re not charged.

They find their target by chance. Randomly,” he said.

“One gallon of water from an electrostatic spray system has two billion,

200 million droplets of 150 microns.

That’s eight times more droplets. So that’s significant in itself, but the USDA did not mention the fact that these smaller droplets are electrically charged so they’re attracted to the target.”

The droplets get their charge by travelling through an electrical field. The Spectrum equipment employs induction charging, which can either add electrons or extract electrons from the surface of a droplet.

When they add electrons, the droplet becomes negatively charged.

When they extract electrons, the droplet becomes positively charged.

The charge is only on the surface of the droplet and does not change the chemical properties of the product inside the droplet.

Droplets for the left boom are always negative, and droplets for the right boom are always positive.

“If we used all positive or all negative, the aircraft builds up an electrical potential that could be discharged through the pilot when he touches the Earth.”

Although plants are neutral, they can be manipulated to serve as antennas.

“Plants don’t care if the plume of spray coming at them is negative or positive. The plant automatically mirrors the opposite charge of the droplets,” he said.

“If a positively charged droplet approaches the plant, it (the plant) instantly becomes negative. If a negatively charged droplet approaches the plant, it instantly becomes positive.”

If a positively charged droplet approaches a neutral corn stalk, it repels some of the positive atoms resting on the stalk. The corn stalk becomes negative and the droplet instantly bonds to the stalk.

All this happens while the helicopter is travelling over the field at 85 m.p.h. at a height of 10 feet.

Spectrum is a high-pressure system, running 75 to 80 p.s.i.

Herbicides are made up of acids and salts and will take a charge with just six kilovolts. Fungicides need as much as an extra two kV or more to get a good charge.

“The system can only draw a maximum of five amps, but in typical spray conditions, we only draw two amps. The helicopter’s 12 or 28 volt electrical system easily handles that.”

Miniaturization of electronics and the ceramic spray tip has finally allowed electrostatic spraying to reach aerial sprayers.

“There were earlier systems, but they were heavy and took up so much room in the aircraft. They weren’t practical.”

Dobbins concedes some customers might use the system off label.

“The system is designed for one gallon per acre, and that’s off-label.

We all know that.…But you don’t necessarily have to run off label.

There are other financial benefits with the charged droplets if you run full rate.”

The Spectrum electrostatic spray system installed on a helicopter carries a list price of $38,000.

Firms partner to distribute product Syngenta agrees to distribute JumpStart to improve plant performance

BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

DURHAM, NC — Phosphate solubilization products from Novozymes Bioag of Saskatoon will soon be reaching farm fields outside of North American through the Swiss company Syngenta.

The JumpStart technology that was born in Alberta and Saskatchewan is spreading worldwide thanks to an agreement between the companies.

Penicillium bilaii is a soil fungus that excretes acids capable of dissolving and making otherwise soilbound phosphate available to plants.

Research has shown that the fungus can improve early season phosphate availability to plants, which can translate into healthier crops with improved yields.

The fungus was first isolated at Agriculture Canada’s Lethbridge research centre in 1981 and later commercialized by Philom Bios of Saskatoon in 1986. Danish company Novozymes bought Philom Bios in 2007.

Novozymes estimates the global market for JumpStart and other seed applied technologies to be $100 million annually and that Syngenta will help the company achieve more of those international sales.

Vern Hawkins, Syngenta’s North American market director, said the partnership is a good fit for his company’s biological solutions business, citing a strong track record for JumpStart in North America.

Root sections of seeds treated with JumpStart were placed on a calcium-rich media, the pink gel material, that contains bound phosphate. The greenish growth around the root sections is the soil fungus, penicillum bilaii, in JumpStart. The clearing of the pink colour around the root sections shows how JumpStart solubilizes the bound phosphate in the root zone. | NOVOZYMES PHOTO “Our seed care business is focused on stacking technologies on the seed that protect it, enhance plant performance and make those plants more efficient. And that’s what this product does,” he said.

Michiel van Lookeren Campagne, head of biotechnology for Syngenta, said the company is looking to expand its product line to meet producers’ needs. It will partner with

AGRONOMY | FUNGICIDES

others when it doesn’t own a product or patent or have expertise in a specific area.

Thomas Videbaek of Novozymes said in a statement that the new distribution relationship meets its goals of worldwide expansion for the product.

Novozymes’ Trevor Thiessen said Syngenta didn’t rush into the new relationship, taking a couple of years to do its due diligence and test the JumpS tart.

“When they confirmed our science and committed to distribute (JumpStart), it was a big event in the history of our company,” he said.

“We are a small company compared to Syngenta. Their distribution power will put our products into markets that we couldn’t serve.… We have about 35 sales and marketing people on the ground in North America and we do a pretty good job, but as they put JumpStart into their corn and wheat business, that takes a lot of capacity that we don’t have.”

Novozymes will meet the additional demand by using pre-planned plant expansion capacity that was built into the most recent work in Saskatoon. It can also use processing facilities in the United States and South America that it acquired when it bought EMD Biosciences.

“It’s a problem we look forward to having,” said Thiessen.

New fungal products have reached the market this spring.

Makhteshim Agan, MANA, has registered its version of the popular Quilt fungicide. Called Blanket AP, the product uses the two active ingredients propiconazole and azoxystrobin, groups 3 and 11, respectively.

The latter is a broad spectrum strobilurin fungicide with both preventive and curative activities.

It treats leaf and stem diseases in spring and winter wheat, barley and rye, working against stripe rust, leaf rust, septoria leaf spot, net blotch, scald and tan spot.

For more information, visit www. manainc.ca.

Twinline from BASF is another broad spectrum fungicide for disease control in cereals. It also contains a strobilurin from Group 11 and a Group 3 triazole. It treats all the common fungal diseases plus powdery mildew, and is effective on most fungal pests in cereal crops.

For more information, visit agro. basf.ca.

Canola growers will likely welcome DuPont’s Vertisan as a tool for sclerotinia control. It treats what is on the plant’s surface as well as down below, which makes this Group 7 product unique because it will hang around for later infections. It will also work for ascochyta in pulse crops.

For more information, visit www2. dupont.com.

Bayer has registered the seed treatment Prosper EverGo with three fungicidal active ingredients: metalaxyl, trifloxystrobin and penflufen.

The latter is a Group 7 that is effective on rhizoctonia solani, replacing carbathiin in the former Prosper product.

It is also effective on pythium, fusarium root and seedling rots and is effective on insects such as flea beetles because of the clothianidin that is in the mix. It is for canola and mustard crops.

For more information, visit www. bayercropscience.ca.

Syngenta has registered a novel seed treatment under the name Vibrance. The pyrazole carboxamide chemistry is part of a class of fungicides called SDHI inhibitors that are effective on rhizoctonia.

It is mobile in the soil and can protect the crop throughout its initial growth stages.

The sedaxane fungicide is packaged as Cruiser Maxx Vibrance for cereals with insect protection, as Vibrance XL for cereals needing disease protection, Helix Vibrance for canola needing insect protection and Cruiser Maxx Vibrance Beans for soybeans needing insect coverage.

The sedaxane also adds a vigour effect to the crop.

GPS for steering wheel

BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

DURHAM, N.C. — TeeJet Technologies, known best for its spraying systems and nozzles, has come up with a steering wheel motor drive.

While the concept dates back to the first GPS guidance system, the refinements to the units and their accuracy have improved over the years.

Tim Stuenkel of TeeJet said the company saw the opportunity to provide an additional guidance product to its existing hydraulic valve.

“We have offered Field Pilot, the hydraulic system, for years. But we heard there was a need for a steering wheel mounted unit, so we built one,” he said.

“It has a relatively inexpensive

bracket that can be mounted into a variety of machines and then the UniPilot can be quickly moved from machine to machine,” said Stuenkel.

“It gets the line very quickly and holds it accurately.”

The $4,600 UniPilot works exclusively with the $2,000 TeeJet Matrix Pro guidance system so it isn’t an add-on to other guidance brands.

With the Matrix Pro, it is WAAS, Omni-STAR or RTK driven, the latter being fed by TeeJet’s RX510 or RX610 GNSS receivers.

“It’s compatible with 350 different machinery platforms: sprayers, tractors, combines and swathers … spray trucks and other rigs, almost anything with a wheel,” he said.

Experts partner up to develop insecticide system Collaborative effort | John Deere, Raven and Syngenta work together for alternative to tank mixes and dust of dry insecticide

BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

DURHAM, N.C. — A new chemical application system marries agronomy with machinery.

The soil-applied insecticide tool for corn planters puts chemicals in the soil without producers coming into contact with the product.

The closed application system for liquid Force CS can also be used to put liquid fertilizer down with the seed. It was developed by John Deere, Raven and Syngenta.

Vern Hawkins, who heads up Syngenta’s North American business, said the company is looking at overall delivery and development of technology and services, which means

thinking more like a farmer.

“Putting agronomy to work can mean problem solving with equipment partners,” he said.

“That’s not traditional crop protection company thinking.”

Ke v i n Fi t e o f t h e c o m p a n y ’s research group in Greensborough, North Carolina, said development of the soil applied insecticide system predates the new corporate strategy, but it reflects the importance that the company places on thinking like a farmer.

“We were given a problem: precision delivery of an insecticide to the seed (row) with as little farmer contact with the product as possible and little or no waste,” he said.

“So we worked with John Deere on one of their planters and Raven on pumps and delivery. We refined our product and packaging and we came up with a solution.”

Each of the partners brought their expertise to the problem rather than their “stuff,” said Fite.

“It wasn’t just us saying, ‘here is our chemical, make it work,’ and it wasn’t them saying, ‘here is our metering and our machinery, hope it works with your insecticide.’ ” Syngenta said it wanted an alternative to the dust of dry granule Tefluthrin or the tank mixing of the insecticide with a water or fertilizer carrier.

The partners came up with a Deere unit that allows producers to place up to eight boxed, 2.5 U.S. gallon bladders filled with Syngenta’s Force CS, enough to cover up to 320 acres, and delivered it along with liquid fertilizer or water. It can be managed from the cab, including setting refuge rows.

“Raven now has their own version that works with any brand of planter.

It holds four boxes and works with most (brands of) electronics systems out there,” Fite said.

“No one company would have done this in this way. It needed to be a collaboration. And we needed to think about what a farmer might do to solve the problem.”

The Raven Sidekick Pro delivers the product, which controls cutworms, rootworms, wireworms, white grubs and corn seed maggots.

In its first version, Deere worked out the delivery and housing of the product.

The Raven units can deliver product in two ranges: one to 10 ounces per minute and five to 40 using pressure-side injection, which rapidly

pu ts th e ch em ica l in pla ce o n demand.

The liquid version of the chemical encapsulates the insecticide within its structure, resulting in less soil binding, longer activity in the soil, reduced losses to evaporation, crop damage and operator exposure.

“Integration is bringing different parts of our company together, working together and letting each other know what we are doing and what problems we have,” Fite said.

“It’s a model we used to solve this problem. We just did it before it was a corporate strategy.”

The Deere, Raven and Syngenta delivery systems for Force CS in-row insecticide were developed in collaboration, rather than each company building its own products. Raven has released its own version that is compatible with most drills and planters that use a liquid fertilizer and nutrient delivery systems. | MICHAEL RAINE PHOTOS

Women’s centre funding cut Prairie Women’s Health Centre | Future studies for rural, remote, northern women uncertain

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A 60-year trend was broken in the most recent Canadian census data when rural Saskatchewan showed positive growth for the first time since 1951.

Statistics Canada data shows census rural areas in the province recorded a population growth of one percent for the period 2006-11, reversing the longstanding downward trend.

The census defines rural areas as having fewer than 1,000 residents and a population density below 400 people per sq. kilometre.

However, while numbers show one trend reversing, another is continuing, said Ray Bollman, former chief of Statistic Canada’s rural research group.

“Saskatchewan is exporting more grain and oilseeds now than ever, but every year they do it with fewer and fewer people,” he said.

“If a community is specialized in grain and oilseed production, the population is going to go down because the workforce is going down, and then the community has to find something new to export.”

An examination of the numbers shows that growth remains regionalized.

“That’s the general theme across Canada,” said Bollman.

“Big cities grow more than small cities.

Small cities grow more than rural and then within rural, if you’re beside a city, you grow more than if you’re away from a city.”

He said rural populations have grown across Canada, but that’s coming from small communities within commuting range of cities and in remote First Nation or resource-driven communities.

The same holds true for Saskatchewan, which in the 2011 data had a population of 1,033,381 with 343,398 rural residents.

Using another measure — the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development’s predominantly rural region — rural Saskatchewan accounts for 51 percent of the population, but even that’s down from 54 percent in 1996.

The numbers create a dilemma for statisticians, he told members of the Saskatchewan Economic Development Association.

While rural populations are growing in the country, they make up an increasingly smaller portion of the country’s population.

“Successful rural development means that over time you get reclassified to urban,” he said.

“So you start with lots of rural people ... and in almost every period there’s growth and you end up with fewer people in 2011.”

Bollman said nine census consolidated subdivisions in Saskatchewan experienced multiple periods of growth from 1981 to 2011, but the list was dwarfed by another showing subdivisions with no growth.

“Part of it is towns within the commuting zone of Saskatoon and Regina, but the other part is the oil patch,” he said.

The lists tell a positive story for the province’s larger centres and a different one for communities such as Assiniboia, Yorkton, Melfort and Nipawin, which have lost population in at least 14 of the last 15 years.

The future is uncertain for an organization that examines women’s issues on the Prairies following budget cuts to Health Canada.

The Prairie Women’s Health Centre of Excellence, which has studied rural, remote, northern and aboriginal women’s health issues since 1996, is one of six organizations under the Women’s Health Contribution Program to receive notice that its funding will cease March 31, 2013.

According to Health Canada, the program contributed $2.95 million a year to recipients.

The department has been asked to find savings of $200 million stemming from last month’s federal budget.

Media reports have surfaced about the Health Canada cuts since the budget was announced, including its Drug Analysis Service lab in Winnipeg and $15 million in funding for the Federal Tobacco Control Strategy.

“I’d be a fool to say I was surprised, given what else had been cut already, but (I’m) deeply, deeply disappointed because health is more than just health care and doctoring and nursing,” said centre of excellence executive director Margaret HaworthBrockman.

“If people have good programs that are preventive and have good information that shows where systemic change can be made, that’s a long view of saving healthcare dollars.”

The centre reported income of $569,309 from Health Canada in 2011 and $455,400 in 2010, accounting for the vast majority of its revenue.

“It’s quite true that we’ve been very dependant on that Health Canada money because it provides the infrastructure as well as the project money,” said HaworthBrockman.

“And so now, if we decide to compete in other arenas, of course we’ll be competing with other agencies that have also lost their money.”

The centre has offices in Winnipeg and Saskatoon, along with eight staff members, four students and a varying number of contractors who conduct research and take it to policy makers, said Haworth-Brockman.

It also offers gender-based analysis training for federal, provincial and regional health managers, which she described as “an essential way of analyzing information to really see where the disparities are and then remediate.”

I’d be a fool to say I was surprised, given what else had been cut already, but (I’m) deeply, deeply disappointed because health is more than just health care and doctoring and nursing.

MARGARET HAWORTH-BROCKMAN CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

MICHELLE HOULDEN ILLUSTRATION

The centre works on eight to 15 projects at the same time.

“Our instructions last year from Health Canada were to cut back a bit on the number of projects and go deeper rather than broad,” she said.

A previous project examined the effects of BSE on farm families, while another identified relevant issues using workshops in rural Saskatchewan.

Planned projects included studying women working in the Saskatchewan mining industry.

“If we disappear, I’m not sure

what happens to that information,” said Haworth-Brockman.

She said the centre’s board of directors will meet as soon as possible to determine its future plans.

“I see it as shortsighted to not invest in the kind of information that can be used to prevent people needing to get health care,” she said.

Also losing funds from the program are the British Columbia Centre of Excellence for Women’s Health, Le Réseau québécois d’action pour la santé des femmes, the Canadian Women’s Health Network, the Atlantic Centre of

Excellence for Women’s Health and the National Network on Environments and Women’s Health.

The prairie centre had a history of working with other organizations internationally and across Canada, said Haworth-Brockman, including the National Aboriginal Health Organization, which also lost funding in the budget.

“There’s this sort of domino multiple effect where we can no longer collaborate with them because their money has also been cut,” she said.

“So the work doesn’t go on anywhere.”

ON THE FARM | FAMILY OPERATION

It’s all about cattle at Harvie Ranching Partnership thrives | Three families share workload in purebred operation

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

OLDS, Alta. — It is the third annual bull sale at Harvie Ranching, where friends and family gather for some western hospitality and a fast paced auction.

Every member of the family is busy, whether it is talking up the bulls sorted in pens outdoors, serving lunch, tending bar, manning the auction block or taking bids on cellphones.

The ranch, located south of Olds near the Alberta foothills, is a family partnership of parents Ian and Marlene Har vie and their sons and wives, Scott and Kerrie and Cole and Jill.

Ian and Marlene married in 1975 and their business and social life revolves around producing purebred Polled Herefords, Charolais and most recently, Simmental.

Land was unaffordable in the Calgary-Priddis region so central Alberta seemed a better choice with its rich soil and good grasslands.

Their sons, Eric, Cole, Scott and Will, always travelled with them to shows and sales. These days, Eric works off the farm and Will is at the University of Alberta.

When Cole and Scott returned after attending college, the workload was distributed and the ranch started to build an international reputation.

“The farm definitely evolved once the boys started getting involved.

When there is just two of you, you can only do so much,” said Marlene.

It takes considerable work and cooperation to keep three families on one ranch in tune with one another.

There are monthly meetings to discuss plans, travel and delegate projects and resolve issues.

“Sometimes you just have to get over yourself and realize there are a lot more positives than negatives,” said Jill. “We all have the same goals right now.”

Scott is better with machinery whereas Cole and Marlene spend more time on the computer handling paperwork.

We are pretty thankful that Mom and Dad wanted to see the farm expand. There isn’t a bank in the world that would give us a loan to say you can pay them off and they can retire. They would laugh us out the door.

SCOTT HARVIE HARVIE RANCHING

“We all have jobs and it might seem like one brother is working harder at different times of the year but on another day, it balances it out,” said Cole.

They calve out about 250 cows each year. Everything is registered as purebred and sold to customers around the world.

Their breeding program has produced national champions in England, Sweden, Ireland, South America, United States and Australia.

“Our program has taken off a lot since Scott and I came home. We went from AIing a quarter of our herd to 90 percent of our herd,” said Cole.

Expanding into three breeds was a business decision to give customers more choice. Some wanted more performance from crossbreeding w i t h b re e d s l i k e C h a ro l a i s o r Simmental.

“We decided if you wanted us to find them, we would just raise them for you,” said Scott.

“Whatever you want, we want to be able to sell you a bull rather than have you go somewhere else,” he said.

Offering variety fits into their expansion plans.

“If we can run three breeds, we can open the market to 300 bulls and that will allow us all to stay on the farm and as three partners, it works quite well. We can branch out,” said Scott.

The family holds a bull sale in the spring and a female sale in the fall.

Last year, they had an internet-only sale for heifers with pleasing results

when buyers and observers logged on from around the world.

“For the last four out of five years, we had the highest averaging Hereford sale in Canada for females,” said Cole.

Selling cattle around the world means promotion and extensive travel.

“Every weekend, it seems someone is on the road trying to promote our breed or look at calves,” Cole said.

Family members are often invited to judge shows or offer workshops and all appreciate the educational aspect of travel. “ Ma r l e n e a n d I hav e b e e n t o Europe 15 times or more and you get a much more in-depth view of that particular area,” said Ian. They’ve hosted people from South America, Australia, Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Australia.

They have been selling semen and embryos to Europe since the 1980s.

Freight costs and health restrictions make it nearly impossible to send live animals offshore.

North Americans vaccinate for diseases like infectious bovine rhinotracheitis and the Europeans will not accept them. Ian figures it is time for Europe to reconsider some of its policies.

“If they did that, it would open markets up substantially more. The embryo thing is pretty aggressive right now but as far as the number of bulls that qualify, it is very limited,” he said.

They will host cattle producers who are attending the World Hereford Congress in Canada this July. The last world event was in Denmark, where Scott was asked to demonstrate Canadian fitting and grooming techniques.

“It was an awesome experience and lots of those people I met over there plan on coming to the World Hereford Congress and quite a few countries have asked to book tours here,” Scott said. “(Canadians) raise some of the best genetics in the world and that is probably one of the reasons there is

The Harvie family gathered for a visit after the sale, including Jill, left, and Cole with their daughter, Tinley, and Marlene and Scott. so much interest in the World Hereford Congress because people respect the Hereford breeders in Canada and like what we do,” he said.

They have also introduced cattle from Australia and New Zealand to freshen up bloodlines. Cattle are also developed to give customers what they want with big, roomy Herefords carrying a dark red coat.

Some of their marketing plans were redirected after 2003 when BSE closed trade on live cattle.

They increased their embryo transplant business, sold more semen and formed more partnerships. Probably 70 head in their herd are partnership cattle.

Ian does not believe they were hurt as badly as the commercial beef business.

“As seedstock people, we weren’t playing on the same field as the commercial people where their physical cow went from $800 to $200.

We weren’t selling inventory but the ones we took to town, they were worth the same as anybody else’s,” Ian said.

Community is important to the family and everyone makes time to help those involved in breed association junior programs and 4-H. When extra help is needed, they can rely on nearby Olds College for students to work on the farm or at shows.

They actively show and judge cattle and use it as a way to promote agriculture and the beef business.

“I don’t think there are enough

people showing cattle who realize how important that is to go and take that young kid up to the big bull and show how to walk up there correctly and pet the bull,” said Scott.

“Anything we can do to promote the Canadian beef industry as the best in the world, we are all for it,” he said.

As for the future, the plan involves expansion and continuing to work as a unit.

“We are pretty thankful that Mom and Dad wanted to see the farm expand. There isn’t a bank in the world that would give us a loan to say you can pay them off and they can retire. They would laugh us out the door,” said Scott.

They appreciate the rural lifestyle but recognize this operation is also a business.

“We have to make a living. We have another generation coming up now and we have to make a living so they get the same benefits that we had,” said Cole. He and Jill had their first child last year.

“With our salary, if we went out and worked on the oil rigs, it would be considerably more but we have a trade off because we get to do these trips and visit people. To me, that is definitely a really good perk of our job,” said Scott.

Marlene and Ian do not plan to retire anytime soon.

“We really don’t have any desire to live down south. We like it here and we like being involved with our grandchildren and children,” she said.

COMPOSTING | METHOD

Compost on the fast track with Berkeley method Rapid recipe | With a little more labour, compost can be used in less than a month

STEPS IN THE BERKELEY COMPOST METHOD: • Chop material • Establish 30:1 carbon and nitrogen ratio • Add moisture

BY BARB GLEN

• Measure heat

LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

• Turn material every two days

Avid gardeners swear by the making and use of compost and those who want quicker compost availability can get it with the Berkeley compost method.

Julia Mitchell of Southern Alberta Permaculture shared her experiences in April with members of the University of Lethbridge community garden association.

She said the more labour intensive composting method can yield usable garden material within two to three weeks compared to the more traditional leave-alone method that can take a year or more.

Mitchell said the first step is to use material chopped into pieces of one half to 1.5 inches (2.5-3.8 cm). This is particularly important for woody materials but not as necessary with soft tissue waste such as spoiled fruit and vegetables.

Step two involves the ratio of carbon to nitrogen, recommended at 30:1.

“This ratio is very important,” said Mitchell. “If there is too little carbon, the nitrogen will be lost to the air.”

Composters should think of carbon as dry plant materials such as dry grass, straw and sawdust. Nitrogen is represented in wetter materials such as grass clippings, vegetable waste, coffee grounds and manure.

Mitchell recommended layering the two types of materials in the compost pile, pit or bin. Step three is to

• Monitor the process • Use compost where desired

Julia Mitchell of Southern Alberta Permaculture explained the traditional type of composting last summer with bins on her acreage near Lethbridge. She says the Berkeley method produces compost more quickly but is more labour intensive. | BARB GLEN PHOTO add water, aiming for 50 percent moisture content.

She achieves this by spraying each layer with a hose while layering compost materials.

“If it’s a sloppy mess and it smells, you have too much water,” said Mitchell.

The fourth step is heat. Some volume is needed to generate heat, caused by a reaction between the carbon and nitrogen, Mitchell said.

She recommended building a pile three feet by three feet (0.9 x 0.9 metres) for manageable size.

Once the material is assembled and the pile has sat for several days, Mitchell said composters should be able to feel heat in the pile by sticking in their arm. A thermometer will also do the job, and the goal is to turn the pile before it exceeds 71 C. Turning is the fifth step. This should be done every two days, putting the outside material from the pile into the middle. Less frequent turning will lengthen the compost process but it will still work, provided the pile does not get too hot, Mitchell said.

A high temperature kills the benefi-

cial bacteria and can stop the compost process.

Monitoring is the sixth step, said Mitchell.

“You should see higher temperatures in your pile within 24 to 48 hours.”

Establish a pile or bin and do not keep adding to it because this disturbs the carbon to nitrogen ration.

Store new material in another area with which to start a separate pile or bin, Mitchell said.

If more carbon appears to be needed at some stage, she recommended

adding sawdust, which breaks down quickly.

Soil should not be added to the compost pile or bin, she said.

“It adds to the weight of your pile and doesn’t contribute to decomposition.”

She also advised against adding ashes from stoves or fireplaces, nor should manure from carnivorous animals be used because of associated pathogens.

If the process is working properly, the pile should smell like soil. It should be warm and when turned, white fungi should be visible in the material. Volume will shrink and the material will turn dark brown.

If all steps are followed, a three by three foot pile should yield about one wheelbarrow full of compost within two to three weeks.

“It’s not a science,” said Mitchell.

“You sort of have to do trial and error.”

She prefers establishing the pile on a hard surface so it is easier to move when turning. Piles can also be easier to turn than material in bins, though devices are available to help turn material in bins and containers.

Robert Raabe, a professor of plant pathology at the University of California, Berkeley, developed the Berkeley compost method.

GLADIOLI | CARE AND STORAGE

Gladioli produce bountiful blooms in array of colours IN THE COUNTRY GARDEN

ALBERT PARSONS

G

ladioli are easy to care for. Just give them lots of water, good soil, plenty of sunshine and a few bamboo stakes to support their tall flower spikes.

I grow my glads in rows in the vegetable garden because I use them as cut flowers, but when planted in clumps in mixed borders, they provide bright late summer colour in the landscape.

Gladioli corms can be planted quite close together. Leave about a 10 centimetre space between the corms, with rows about 15 cm apart.

Planted before the middle of May, gladioli will finish blooming before fall frost arrives. Gladioli corms that are planted deeply will take longer to bloom and will be less susceptible to drought.

Since I am able to water my garden regularly, I don’t plant my glads too deep, which encourages earlier blooms, but I have to make sure I dig the corms before a heavy fall frost occurs. Bloom time varies according to variety. Look for early, mid-season or late on the label.

Although glads are not bothered by many diseases or insects, thrip can be a problem. Any plant that turns yellow or develops yellow stripes on its leaves should be immediately removed and destroyed. Discard any corm that doesn’t look right.

In the fall, dig gladioli using a garden fork to lift the corms. Use a sharp knife to cut off the tops, leaving about six cm of stem on each corm. I scatter the corms on top of an old blanket in the sun to dry.

I continue to put the corms outside in the sun on warm days, dragging them into the garden shed at night both to protect them from frost and to keep them from getting damp.

Once the weather cools and we have our furnace running regularly, I take the glad corms down to the furnace room, spreading them out on the floor, where they will stay until December, when I clean them up and

store them. I snap the old corms off the bottoms of the new corms that have formed during the summer.

After putting them in a brown paper bag with a sprinkle of all-purpose bulb dust, I give it a shake to distribute the dust evenly. The bag of corms is then ready to be placed in storage in a cool location that is not damp.

Other than checking on the corms a couple of times during the winter and removing any corms that are rotting,

Some like it hot Jalapeno (hah-lah-PEH-nyoh) peppers can vary in flavour intensity.

Some maintain that you can tell the hotness of a jalapeno by colour and white vertical stretch marks on the outside of the pepper and by the colour. The more white marks, the hotter it is. It also gets hotter as it goes from green to red.

Capsaicin is the heat producing substance found in peppers. When cutting or seeding hot peppers, use rubber or plastic gloves to protect your hands and avoid touching your face. If you do touch the jalapenos with your bare hands, wash with dish detergent or scrub with lemon juice.

When eating peppers, don’t drink water because it spreads the burning around in your mouth.

Instead, eat some sugar or drink milk to cool the burning. For a fun website, visit www.jalapenomadness.com.

Cilantro (see-LAHN-troh) is the bright green leaves and stems of the coriander plant also known as Chinese parsley. It has a distinctive soapy taste and aroma that lends itself to highly spiced foods. I tend to use fresh parsley instead.

FIBROMYALGIA | CAUSES

FAMILY HARMONY | ATMOSPHERE

Chronic pain not made up

Climate of caring may foster better relationships SPEAKING OF LIFE

HEALTH CLINIC JACKLIN ANDREWS, BA, MSW

CLARE ROWSON, MD

Without obvious symptoms, people may not be understanding

Q:

Things are pretty rough around our house. All three kids can become rude and obnoxious with each other, disobeying our rules and generally defying what we are trying to encourage them to do. We are running out of punishments.

The kids have had their cellphones taken away on occasion, have been kicked off our family computer and grounded throughout the week.

None of it works. Life continues to be stressful.

You can bet that the turmoil is having a terrible impact on my relationship with my husband. Both of us are tense and seldom do we get a moment to enjoy each other. What can we do to break the cycle?

A:

I have talked many times about the need for structure and routine in any home and how important that is to the well-being of the children.

Complementing whatever struc-

ture you have in your home should be a climate of love and acceptance.

My guess is that words of praise are few and far between.

Chances are good that the kids will compete for your attention and push each other away to pick up a few hugs and words of praise from you or reject whatever overtures you make to them. It can be discouraging.

To open the door for a more positive setting in your home, begin with your relationship with your husband. You and he need to rise above the turmoil and reaffirm your adoration for each other. Perhaps the two of you could go for a quiet walk together each night.

At the some point, the children

might want to join the nightly escapade with you. As long as they are kind and generous with you and with each other during the walks, they should be welcome to do so.

That positive time you cultivate during your walks comes through the door when you return home.

It takes time, a lot of patience and a great deal of determination but the end product, a home that is a place where you and your children have a climate in which you value and care for each other, is certainly worth the effort.

Q:

I have a chronic illness, fibromyalgia, which means that I am in pain most of the time and cannot do as much as other people my age (44) because I have low energy levels. Some of my friends are supportive, but others tell me it is all in my head and that I don’t look sick.

What can I tell them to convince them that fibromyalgia is a real disease?

A:

There is nothing more annoying to be told that you do not look ill when you are feeling awful. If you go to bed for a few days because you have the flu, you will always get sympathy, but if you bravely try to struggle on at work or home, you may not be thought of as ill if there are no obvious external signs.

What is a disease? Generally it is a collection of abnormal signs and symptoms that occur together in a significant number of people and is given a name by the medical establishment. It can be either physical or mental.

Most doctors now agree that fibromyalgia is a disease, even though they have been unable to pinpoint the exact cause.

Rheumatologists are the specialists most involved with the treatment of fibromyalgia patients because chronic pain in muscles and joints is a prominent feature.

Pressure in certain areas of the back and neck causes pain, and this may be accompanied by severe fatigue and sleep disturbance.

Psychiatrists also treat this illness because chronic stress and depression are factors in this condition. The diagnosis is only made after all other possible causes have been ruled out by medical testing.

There have been conflicts between doctors at rheumatology conferences as to whether fibromyalgia is a physical disease or something known as a somatization disorder, where anxiety and stress are converted into physical complaints.

People with this disorder have many physical complaints that last for years. Frequently, the complaints involve chronic pain and problems with the digestive, nervous and reproductive systems. It is more common in women older than 30.

Pain is subjective. Some people can tolerate a great deal without painkillers, while others suffer a great deal from minor aches and pains.

DAIRY | CONFLICT OF INTEREST RULES

Dairy commission ‘showing its age:’ critics Antiquated system | In 2005, the auditor general advised creating a conflict of interest management process

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

The Canadian Dairy Commission’s failure to have a conflict of interest process illustrates the need to modernize the organization, say critics.

“This just shows how antiquated the whole system is,” Canadian Restaurant and Foodservices Association chief executive officer Garth Whyte said.

“It was written 40 years ago on a typewriter and the world has changed.

These days, if you don’t have a conflict of interest process, you don’t hire from the industry.”

In a March report to Parliament, auditor general Michael Ferguson said the CDC is a well-run crown corporation that fulfils its legal obligations.

However, he also noted, as did a predecessor five years before, that there is no rule for how to deal with the fact that active dairy farmers who are CDC commissioners could personally benefit when the commission sets it annual dairy support prices.

Two of the three current commissioners are actively involved in dairy

far ms, including CEO Jacques Laforge.

The CDC sets industrial milk price supports each December that indirectly influence prices paid for milk produced on dairy farms.

“The board does not have a process for directors to declare and manage conflicts of interest,” said the report.

The CDC agreed and promised to work with government officials to develop conflict of interest guidelines, but it also made the same promise in 2005 when a previous auditor general report made the same point.

Considered biased Whyte, whose association has been one of the most vocal critics of supply management and CDC pricing policies, said the conflict of interest issue is part of the problem.

“This highlights a system that is made by dairy farmers for dairy farmers,” he said.

“It clearly is biased to dairy farmer interests, but who looks after our sector? Next to retail, we are the largest buyer of industrial milk and we have no say.”

Don Jarvis, president of the Dairy Processors’ Association of Canada, was an adviser to the auditor general when the 2005 recommendation to deal with conflict of interest was made.

“Our point is that there has to be a consultative committee that opens up the process to other parts of the industry,” he said.

“I was party to the 2005 auditor general process that said we have to address that, and dairy farmer conflict of interest is part of that.”

Jarvis said the fact that active dairy farmers can set a price that helps dairy farmer income shows the CDC rules were created in an earlier, perhaps simpler time.

“I really think it is showing its age,” he said. “That sort of a potential conflict would not be written into a crown corporation these days. And I don’t think it responds well to points made about the need to modernize.”

Jarvis and Whyte both said they have a good working relationship with the CDC and were not criticizing existing commissioners.

“But in this age, modern conflict of interest guidelines are just assumed,” said Whyte.

A rigid stance protecting supply management should not be allowed to scuttle agriculture’s golden opportunity in fast-growing Asian countries, says a former top trade negotiator.

Michael Gifford, chief Canadian agricultural negotiator for the North American Free Trade Agreement and the 1993 World Trade Organization deal, argues in an April 23 report that Canada cannot allow itself to be shut out of Asian trade talks now being held as the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).

If the price for being allowed into the talks is acceding to U.S., New Zealand and Australian demands that dairy and poultry supply management protections be up for negotiation, so be it.

Gifford writes in a study published by the Canadian Council of Chief Executives that increased import access through expanded tariff rate quotas of guaranteed access would allow supply managed sectors to adjust but survive.

As well, government must be ready to compensate affected farmers.

He said a likely TPP outcome will be “to phase out many if not most agricultural tariffs after some transition period” and partial liberalization for the most sensitive sectors, such as supply management.

“Currently, imports account for only about three to four percent of Canada’s milk and dairy product consumption and eight or nine percent of chicken consumption,” Gifford said.

“These numbers suggest that there

The pragmatic question is not whether supply management can survive partial liberation but rather what changes may be necessary to allow the system to coexist with a more open but still protected trading environment.”

MICHAEL GIFFORD FORMER NAFTA NEGOTIATOR

is scope to provide expanded import opportunities for all supply-managed sectors.… The pragmatic question is not whether supply management can survive partial liberation but rather what changes may be necessary to allow the system to coexist with a more open but still protected trading environment.”

Gifford said federal and provincial governments will have to consider diverting some of the money to be saved in farm support programs during years of high commodity prices to dairy and poultry farmers.

“It may be necessary to provide some level of financial assistance to help farmers adapt to the new import regime.”

The report, which a disclaimer says does not necessarily reflect the views of the business executives in the organization, marks another escalation in the business sector and academic campaign against supply management protectionism.

The 40-year-old system regulates production levels to domestic demand, allows cost-based price set-

ting and sharply limits imports to allow the domestic system to work.

It was created to deal with dairy and poultry industry chaos in the 1960s and 1970s and continues to enjoy strong support from most affected farmers, who benefit from market stability and relatively high income.

So far, federal and provincial politicians have shown no inclination to move away from their virtually unanimous support for a system that operates on market returns and not taxpayer subsidies.

However, an increasing parade of critics insists the system is antiquated and flies in the face of trade liberalization trends while impeding the ability of Canadian agricultural exporting sectors to get better access to foreign markets.

Supply management has been an issue in ongoing Canada-European Union free trade talks and debate around Canadian entry into the TPP. Gifford argues that the growing Asian economy offers significant export opportunities for canola, pork, pulse crops and beef.

Failure to be part of an Asian trade liberalization scheme would hurt sectors that already do significant business in the region, making them less competitive with rivals enjoying lower tariffs and increased access.

However, Gifford said many other countries also protect sensitive agricultural sectors and there is no guarantee they would do what they are demanding of Canada.

“The bottom line is that while all sectors are on the TPP table, it remains to be seen how far the U.S. Congress is really prepared to go in liberalizing sugar, dairy and other sensitive products,” he wrote.

RESEARCH | BIOJET FUEL

Oilseeds fuel excitement in airline industry Industrial crops | Commercial test flight uses biojet fuel made from carinata and camelina STORIES BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A few firsts have either been achieved or are on the horizon for biojet fuel made from two new Canadian oilseed crops.

On April 17, Porter Airlines conducted the first commercial flight in Canada using a blend of biofuel and regular jet fuel.

The following day, Agrisoma Biosciences Inc. announced the first comprehensive testing program for biojet fuel made from its Resonance brand of carinata, one of the new industrial oilseed crops.

The program, operated by the National Research Council Canada, will be the first flight in the world to conduct airborne emissions testing of biojet fuel.

The Porter Airlines flight transported passengers from the Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport to the Ottawa International Airport on one of its Bombardier Q400 turboprops with a blend of biojet fuel and regular jet fuel.

One engine ran on fuel made from a blend of camelina (49 percent) and carinata (one percent), while the other engine was powered by regular jet fuel.

The carinata used to make the fuel was grown in Kincaid, Sask., during the summer of 2011. The camelina was produced in Saskatchewan in 2010.

The crops were crushed , producing oil that was converted into biojet fuel by Honeywell UOP. Scott Johnson, president of Sustainable Oils, which contracted the camelina production, said the flight demonstrates there is a viable Canadian market for two new Canadian crops.

“I think that’s a huge step,” he said.

However, his company won’t contract camelina production in Canada this year because there is no market for the meal in this country. Instead, the company is focusing on the U.S. market.

Saskatchewan Agriculture and the University of Saskatchewan are attempting to get regulatory approval for using the meal for feed, which could pave the way for camelina contracts as early as next spring.

Steve Fabijanski, president of Agrisoma Biosciences Inc., which provided the carinata for the biojet fuel used in the test flight, said the flight demonstrates there is a market for the oilseed.

Agrisoma’s Resonance carinata has gone from the lab to the field to the fuel tank of a plane in a little more than one year, demonstrating the strong demand for renewable fuel in the airline industry.

The company has contracted 6,000 acres of carinata production

with 40 growers in Saskatchewan and Alberta in 2012. “ The far mers w ill have some place to move their grain. There will be an end market for this,” said Fabijanski.

The remainder of the carinata biojet fuel, which was made from 50 acres of seed planted in 2011, will be used to fuel an NRC research aircraft that will be testing emissions from various carinata fuel blends.

A modified Falcon 20 twin-engine jet will test the fuel. A T-33 jet chase plane equipped to measure in-flight emissions will follow closely behind.

“This will be the first in-flight, realtime testing of biofuel emissions at the exhaust pipe,” said Fabijanski.

He hopes the results will confirm earlier findings of a 70 to 80 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, depending on the fuel blend.

Fabijanski said the airline industry is a fabulous customer because it is a large consumer of fuel and has created self-imposed biofuel mandates that won’t be subject to political whims.

The International Air Transport Association and numerous airlines have set a goal of being carbon neutral by 2020.

The U.S. air force and navy want half of their fuel to come from biofuel sources by the same year.

Johnson said more than 80 percent of the camelina that Sustainable Oils has contracted since 2009 has been made into biojet fuel.

“We’ve been the primary supplier of renewable jet fuel to the U.S. military,” he said.

The U.S. military has recently come under fire in the media for paying several times more for its biofuel than its petroleum-based fuel.

However, Johnson said the price of biojet fuel will come down as production of crops such as camelina and carinata rises.

BIOJET FUEL | OILSEED REFINERY

Crop developers say Prairies ideal for crusher, refinery The developer of a new crop says there is interest in building a biojet fuel plant in Western Canada that would consume large quantities of the industrial oilseed.

Steve Fabijanski, president of Agrisoma Biosciences Inc., which is commercializing carinata, said a crushing facility and biorefinery make perfect sense for the region.

The Calgary-Saskatoon-Winnipeg triangle has some of the highest jet fuel prices in North America because the fuel has to be trucked in from afar.

Fabijanski thinks there is a golden opportunity to produce biojet fuel

from carinata in Western Canada to help drive down the region’s high fuel costs.

“We think there is a very interesting business opportunity here to look at bringing in a biojet refinery into Western Canada,” he said.

Agrisoma has spoken to companies that have expressed an interest in building such a refinery. He believes the plant’s crushing component would be able to process production from about one million acres of Agrisoma’s Resonance carinata.

“There is the opportunity here for a world class production facility to

manage the production of the feedstock, and I think that would then feed into a pretty significant capacity for biojet fuel,” said Fabijanski.

Agrisoma and its business partner, Paterson Grain, have contracted 6,000 acres with 40 growers this year.

Carinata from the 50 acres grown in 2011 was used to make jet fuel that recently powered a commercial flight from Toronto to Ottawa.

Ag-West Bio Inc. is studying the feasibility of crushing and processing camelina and carinata into a biojet fuel in Saskatchewan.

The report is scheduled to be com-

pleted by June 30.

Fabijanski hopes to get the ball rolling on the biojet fuel project.

“I would like to see something at least in the works in the next year or two,” he said.

Scott Johnson, president of Sustainable Oils, which has previously contracted camelina production in Western Canada, said his company supports the project but won’t invest in such a facility.

Sustainable Oils is focusing on generating the feedstock required by such a biorefinery, but will leave the fuel making to the experts, he said.

INVASIVE SPECIES | AQUATIC

Foreign species invade waters

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

RED DEER — Foreign plants, microbes and animals are moving into the land and waters of North America.

When they are found in the water, everyone is hurt, says the director of the invasive species action network in Montana.

“Anybody who uses water stands to suffer economically,” said Bob Wiltshire at a recent Alberta invasive species conference in Red Deer.

By the time these foreigners are discovered, it may be too late.

“Control is almost impossible when you talk about critters. If you get snails or mussels introduced into the water, you are not managing them, you are not controlling them,” Wiltshire said.

“By the time you detect them, you don’t have a response available, except maybe a quarantine. It is very critical that you focus on prevention.”

The invaders are often introduced inadvertently on boats, fishing equipment and boots.

Many aquatic invaders come from the same Eurasian latitudes as North America, where the climate and ecology is similar. They often arrive on ocean-going freight and cruise lines, hitching a ride on the hull or in ballast water that is required to balance a ship. The water is dumped when the ship docks.

“San Francisco Bay is considered the most invaded habitat in North America,” Wiltshire said.

Invasive species could arrive in the fresh water of Western Canada, Idaho and Montana via the Great Lakes.

The St. Lawrence Seaway opened to international shipping in 1959 and opened the Great Lakes to ocean traffic. There are nearly 200 non-native species in the lakes, and they have started to spread into inland waters through recreational boating, fishing equipment and bait.

Zebra and quagga mussels are among the worst.

“Zebra and quagga mussels are really what is driving the invasive species programs in the western U.S.,” Wiltshire said.

They are closely related, look like tiny clams about the size of fingernails and were first found in Lake Mead in the lower Colorado River basin in 2007.

They have also been found in Utah, Nevada and Colorado, but not yet in the states bordering Canada.

A single mussel filters a litre of water per day, and also consumes the phytoplankton that native fish fingerlings require for food.

They have strong adhesive threads and can colonize and attach themselves to surfaces such as grates and the inside of water pipes. They also choke water filtration systems.

Boat inspections are the norm in the northwest. Mussels and plants found tangled in equipment are removed with high pressure washers. Boaters are advised to allow the equipment to dry for five days before entering another lake or river.

Idaho performed 47,000 inspections last year, which found 25 boats with mussels. Six were destined for British Columbia.

This year, inspections have found 12 mussel-fouled boats, one of which was heading to Alberta, said Tom

Woolf, aquatic plants program manager with Idaho’s agriculture department.

Similar inspections are carried out at Waterton Park gates in southwestern Alberta.

All U.S. and Canadian authorities use the same public campaign, advising the public to clean, drain and dry their equipment.

“We need people to act differently in the outdoors. The bottom line is we need them to be clean,” Woolf said.

Awareness alone does not generate success. People need to be told what to do if they find these invaders.

Other problems have already

arrived in Western Canada and the United States, including a single celled algae called didymo, or rock snot. It feels like wet wool and reproduces rapidly to cover shallow stream bottoms. It changes stream flows and may affect native fish and plants when it clogs water intakes.

Viral hemorrhagic septicemia attacks most species of fish with no known solution.

Eurasian water milfoil forms dense mats that clog waterways, crowd out native species and destroy their food sources.

Swimmers can get entangled in it, and control methods may harm other species.

Scientist Roger Mann holds a two inch pipe that was encrusted with zebra mussels. The inside and outside of the pipe was full of mussel shells that are nearly impossible to remove. The mussels have been found in the Pacific Northwest region, where the cost to control them would cost millions of dollars if they entered hydro power stations, fish hatcheries or irrigation systems. | BARBARA DUCKWORTH PHOTO

RED DEER â&#x20AC;&#x201D; An unwelcome weed has rooted itself in irrigation canals east of Calgary.

The flowering rush was found growing in some canals, banks and headworks in the Western Irrigation District east of Calgary and around the town of Chestermere last year.

It could now take years to bring it under control, said weed inspector Kendra Tippe of Rocky View County.

The Eurasian native was first seen in Canada more than 100 years ago and was probably used as a hardy perennial ornamental plant. It can be found across Canada.

white petals. It is prolific and can grow elsewhere if the roots break off, choking out other vegetation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Any part of those roots can break off and be viable,â&#x20AC;? Tippe said at the recent Alberta Invasive Species Council meeting in Red Deer.

Alberta classifies it as a prohibited noxious weed. Under provincial legislation, it must be destroyed.

The county is the local weed authority and must take the lead, working with Alberta Environment, which manages the headworks, and the irrigation district, which controls the irrigation system.

No herbicides are registered for the weed, which makes digging out the plants the best possible control.

The canals were dredged and the sides scraped in a trial project last fall. Debris was removed from 250 metres of canal bank on either side, but Tippe estimates 11 kilometres from Chestermere Lake to Calgary need to be maintained if the weed is to be removed.

The flowers and buds should be cut off, bagged and disposed of before June 1 to get rid of seeds. Researchers do not know if the type of flowering rush recently found in Alberta is the triploid variety, which means the seeds would not be viable.

The rush has also been found in Red Deer County, said Maureen Vadnais of Alberta Agriculture.

Other pests continue to appear.

Himalayan balsam has been found in the Municipal District of Bonnyville and Lacombe County.

It is often found in riparian areas and grows large with prolific seed production.

Purple loosestrife is returning along the Bow River and Edmonton and Wabamum Lake areas of central Alberta.

Other jurisdictions in the Edmonton area are finding common buckthorn and garlic mustard. Orange hawkweed has been sighted in central Alberta. It is sometimes sold as an ornamental at garden centres.

Varieties of knapweed have been found in the province, including spotted, diffuse, big head and Russian knapweed.

The Alberta pest surveillance system is trying to learn what weeds are present in the province. Call 3102777 to report suspicious plants.

career when he has to explain his job title.

Rhine is a diviner.

The 87-year-old has searched and found water using a stick for 77 years.

On this day, his light metal rod starts to bob as he walks across the grass. When it drops down, Rhine knows he has found a water vein.

“It just goes by itself,” said Rhine, who lives in Alix, Alta.

“It’s electricity in my body. It just works for me.”

Rhine has used a variety of tools over the years to search for water. At the moment, he uses a small, lightweight rod with a cable inside, originally designed for picking up garbage.

When the rod bobs, Rhine stops and counts the number of times the rod bobs. The number of bobs tells him the gallons per minute.

In this yard, the water ranges from 20 to 80 gallons per minute. Rhine uses a long branch off a chokecherry tree to measure the depth of the water.

Rhine said he became interested in divining when his father traded a team of horses in exchange for the drilling of a well when he was 10. The diviner marked the well with a stick.

Rhine tried it and got the same results.

“I’ve found all sorts of water just using a forked stick.”

Rhine said many Hutterite colonies call him to help locate water, but often the well drillers don’t listen to his advice on the placement or depth of the well.

“The drillers don’t like me,” he said.

Rhine said people will miss his skills when he dies.

“One of these days they’ll wish Perry Rhine was still alive to find water.”

Rhine said he has spent thousands of dollars walking across fields mapping water veins. His goal is to publish a book showing underground water streams.

“I’ve spent a lot of my own money chasing water,” said Rhine.

He gets more calls during dry weather, he added.

SOIL STUDY | TRACE MINERALS

RESEARCH | WINTER WHEAT

Study collects mineral data

Researchers unlock Ont. wheat potential Higher rates of nitrogen and foliar fungicide used

BY JEFFREY CARTER FREELANCE WRITER

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

Producers regularly buy mineral supplements for their cattle, but the Saskatchewan Forage Council wants to know how many trace minerals are available in provincial pastures.

“We haven’t stood back and looked at what is going into the animals,” said Janice Bruynooghe, the council’s executive director.

The two-year study will take samples of forage plants twice a year in the four soil zones: brown, dark brown, black and gray. The information will be used to provide trace mineral profiles of the pastures and assess the trace mineral supplement programs on each pasture.

Three pastures per soil zone will be sampled and up to six forage species will be sampled per pasture.

The samples will be taken from the province’s community pastures, and forage species will be clipped at a height to simulate grazing.

Results from the trace mineral study will help producers design a more efficient mineral supplement program. | FILE PHOTO The samples will be sent to a laboratory for wet chemistry forage analysis, which will study them for moisture, dry matter, crude protein, calcium, sulfur, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, molybdenum, copper, sodium, sodium chloride, selenium, zinc, manganese, iron, lignin, acid detergent fibre, neutral detergent fibre and total digestible nutrients.

Bruynooghe said the information will be used to look for trends within the soil types and forage species.

Livestock producers can then use it for a more targeted trace mineral supplement program.

“It will let producers work with suppliers to put together mineral re-

quirements that work for them and not just go out with a bag of mineral and have a shotgun approach,” said Bruynooghe.

The project will also take water samples, which will be used to assess nutritional value to the cattle as it relates to the overall nutrients available to the animal.

Bruynooghe believes the information won’t give clear answers but will be a starting point for researchers and extension agrologists to learn more about pasture mineral supplementation.

“I think the project will give us good starting information. It may give us more questions than a total list of answers.”

The new era

RIDGETOWN, Ont. — Researchers who are using a combination of extra nitrogen and a fungicide to boost winter wheat yields in Ontario have discovered that some varieties respond better than others.

“On average, we looked at a 14 or 15 bushel per acre yield increase, but some varieties had more than a 25 bu. yield response,” said Dave Hooker of the University of Guelph.

At the top end was a variety with a 35 bu. response, which is a dramatic result given that Ontario’s long-term average wheat yield is slightly more than 80 bu. per acre.

Researchers don’t fully understand why the nitrogen-fungicide combination can have such a dramatic impact.

“The fungicide obviously provides some disease control, and then there’s the physiological response of the plant itself,” Hooker said.

In other words, the plant remains green and productive longer during the critical grain-fill period.

The work is inspired by practices in Great Britain and New Zealand.

Hooker is also involved in a trial with the provincial agriculture ministry that looks at the impact of just fungicides on wheat varieties commonly grown in Ontario. Of those evaluated, one-third had a consistent yield response to fungicides.

Hooker hopes the work can be continued. A major consideration is lodging management.

Hooker has also been looking at the response of 65 hybrid corn varieties to foliar fungicides.

“A third of the hybrids were responsive at tasselling, and the average response was seven and a half bushels per acre.”

PORT OF CHURCHILL | GRAIN SHIPPING

Northern port wants to buy its own grain OmniTrax creates action plan | Port of Churchill owners eager to secure grain supply

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The company that owns the Port of Churchill has applied for a license to buy grain in Canada.

Officials from OmniTrax Canada said the company has applied to the Canadian Grain Commission for a grain dealers’ licence that would allow it to buy grain directly from farmers.

The company is also looking for ways to secure grain supplies in the Port of Churchill catchment area, which includes much of central, eastern and northeastern Saskatchewan as well as western Manitoba.

Paul Stow, vice-president of business development with OmniTrax Canada, said the company is looking at all opportunities, including partnerships with farm groups and the construction of new grain collection facilities in some regions of Saskatchewan and Manitoba.

The move is part of an OmniTrax action plan aimed at maintaining grain volumes through the port after grain marketing changes take effect Aug. 1.

“Some of the components (of our action plan) include putting up potential producer car loading facilities or grain gathering facilities so we would be able to buy grain in the country, ship it up to Churchill, extract that value and … make sure that the port continues to succeed,” Stow said. “We’d be open to any opportunities.”

The northern Manitoba port normally handles 500,000 to 550,000 tonnes of grain per year, although it has the ability to handle 780,000 tonnes per year.

In a normal shipping season, most of the grain that moves through Churchill is wheat and barley exported by the CWB. It is widely expected that CWB grain will continue to comprise a large component of Churchill’s grain business after Aug. 1, but is unclear how CWB grain volumes might be affected when the single desk is eliminated.

In a presentation to the Hudson Bay Route Association last month, Mark Thibeault, manager of supply optimization with the CWB, suggested that the relationship between producer cars, the Port of Churchill and lost elevation tariffs could affect CWB efforts to negotiate grain handling agreements with Canadian elevator companies.

Elevator companies forego as much as $15 in potential elevation fees for each tonne of grain that is

loaded on a producer car.

“We’re negotiating with grain companies right now … and I strongly believe that if we utilize Churchill, we’re going to have to pay them some type of money in our agreement … because there’s an opportunity cost

… (associated) by not moving grain through their own facilities,” Thibeault said.

Many industry analysts see OmniTrax and the CWB as likely allies for producer car shippers.

Grain that is har vested in the

Churchill catchment area can be shipped to port position at a relatively low cost through the northern Manitoba route.

In addition, neither the CWB nor OmniTrax owns country elevators, but both companies are eager to

secure grain supplies and maintain export volumes.

Stow did not identify communities where OmniTrax is most likely to focus its efforts, but suggested that the company will consider any grain origination proposals that have the potential to boost port business.

“We don’t have a defined area that we’re looking to target in the beginning,” he said.

“I guess it depends on who wants to do something. If there’s a group in Tisdale, (Sask.,) that wants to do something, then we’d certainly consider Tisdale. If there’s a group in Saskatoon that wants to do something, then we’d take a look at that. It’s a matter of finding the right partners at the right time.”

The CWB announced recently that it will eliminate the Churchill Storage Program as of Aug. 1.

That program offered farmers in the Churchill catchment area premiums and storage payments of roughly $12.50 per tonne for No. 1 & 2 CWRS wheat that was stored on farm for eventual delivery through the Port of Churchill.

Those payments were roughly equal to the rail freight savings realized by the CWB when it shipped grain through the Port of Churchill rather than Vancouver or Thunder Bay.

Farmers who ship grain on producer cars should expect to be held to a higher level of accountability after Aug. 1.

Murdoch MacKay, chair of a committee examining the future role of short-line railways and producer cars in Western Canada, says producer cars will likely remain a popu-

Fill

lar shipping option for prairie farmers after single desk grain marketing this summer.

However, the quality of grain delivered on producer cars will face greater scrutiny in the new marketing environment, he added.

“Producers (who) … ship producer cars will have to ship what they say they’re going to ship and if they don’t, there will be penalties that will be assessed,” said MacKay.

“Those penalties could be assessed not just for a downgrade (where grain quality falls short of the stated grade) … but there could also be penalties assessed if (grade) affects the timing of a shipment or the loading of a vessel.”

As a single desk seller, the CWB had the ability to accommodate off-spec grain shipments that arrived at port on producer cars.

Producer car grain that failed to

meet grade could be blended with other grain inventories without affecting the overall quality of grain on outbound vessels.

But after Aug. 1, the CWB will be handling smaller grain volumes and will likely have fewer opportunities to blend off lower grades at port.

Mark Thibeault, manager of supply optimization with the CWB, said grain shipped on producer cars will continue to be an important part of

the CWB’s grain business after Aug. 1.

However, he said there will be a smaller margin for error when it comes to producer car shipments.

“Our objectives … are to promote and facilitate as much movement on producer cars as we can,” Thibeault said.

“We want to try to reduce costs (but) … we need to ensure that they (producer car shipments) are executed smoothly.”

MacKay said there will also be greater onus on producer car shippers to ensure grain moves through the system as efficiently as possible.

Shippers who co-ordinate large unit trains of 50 or 100 cars will have a much greater chance of negotiating handling and sales agreements with the CWB and other grain companies, he added.

“Producer car shippers may have to work together and look at shipping larger units because they will ultimately be dealing with companies that are looking to add significant volumes of grain in order to fill a sales commitment,” MacKay said.

“If you can put together a large block of cars, then it will be much more appealing to a (company) out there that’s looking at buying grain.

It’s a new world and people are going to have to look at doing things a little bit differently.”

Bill Woods, a former CWB director and producer car shipper from Eston, Sask., agreed that tolerance levels for producer car grain will be tightened after Aug. 1.

He also pointed to a variety of other issues that could affect producer car shipments, including the terms of grain handling agreements that are negotiated between the CWB and Canadian elevator companies and the number of agreements that are concluded.

The CWB has reached handling agreements with only two grain companies: Cargill and the South West Terminal.

Woods said elevator companies that make money from receiving and elevating grain and loading rail cars will be less inclined to negotiat e d e a l s w i t h t h e C W B i f i t i s viewed as an advocate of producer car loading.

Prairie farmers are on pace to load 12,500 producer cars in 2011-12.

If that happens, elevator companies could miss out more than $10 million worth of handling and elevation tariffs.

“The Air Bubble Jet consistently produces droplets that are 200-550 microns in size. Too big to drift - too $ 25 11 small to run off.”

90% LESS DRIFT, LESS RUN OFF, SUPERIOR COVERAGE

Drift occurs when droplets are smaller than 200 microns. Standard sprayer nozzles drift because they produce droplets that are 50-300 micron in size with a large percentage under 200. With a droplet range of 200-550 microns, the Air Bubble Jet has 90% less drift than standard nozzles.

Run off occurs with big droplets - 600 microns and over. Depending on the manufacturer, other low drift nozzles produce droplets that range in size from 250-1000 microns. That is why run off can be a problem. With a droplet size of 200-550 microns, your chemical stays on the plant when applied with the Air Bubble Jet.

NEW PRODUCT “NO” TO STRIPS

Know your rates with the new

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.

It’s not even fair, really. It would’ve been enough to give the RoGator® a whole new design.

Especially with a revamped cab for enhanced comfort and greater visibility, and reduced noise to give you a super quiet ride. But we kept on going. So now our proven drive package, with an AGCO Power 8.4 liter diesel engine, is underneath that sleek exterior to boost horsepower. The result is one monster machine. In fact, we think it’s the best RoGator to ever roll off the line. And that’s saying something.

No matter what color you’re running now, do yourself a favor and test drive one at a dealer near you.

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.

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

We feel really good about the process, the sale and our straight-forward business interaction with Doug. Overall, it was a positive experience.

Thank you, Marlo & Lee Marelli

Imported food faces less scrutiny CFIA accused of misleading MPs | Union says only two percent of imports are inspected

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Food imports face far less rigorous inspection than Canadian food exports and the result is a Canadian population at risk, says the president of the union representing federal food inspectors.

Bob Kingston, president of the agriculture union of the Public Service Alliance of Canada, also accused a senior

BULK UP NOW. EARN UP TO

Canadian Food Inspection Agency official Feb. 15 of misleading MPs about the level of import inspection.

Two days earlier, CFIA associate vice-president Paul Mayers told MPs that there is a common perception that imports are not as thoroughly inspected as exports or products destined for the Canadian market.

“First, let me assure the committee that there is only one set of rules,” he said Feb. 13.

“Those rules apply to imports the same way they apply to products moving domestically. Indeed in the context of products that are exported, if there are additional considerations, those are not CFIA requirements.”

Kingston said that is not true.

“I hate to say this, but you’ve been seriously misinformed on a number of very important issues,” he told MPs. SEE LESS SCRUTINY FOR IMPORTS, P 3

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.”

ALBERTA | AGRICULTURE MINISTER

New ag minister possibilities pondered Few PC rural MLAs | Premier Alison Redford has few MLAs to choose from with ag experience

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

Who will be Alberta’s next agriculture minister?

That’s the question many rural Albertan’s are asking after the April 23 election in which much of rural Alberta voted for the Wildrose party.

All but two of the 17 Wildrose candidates are from rural areas of central and southern Alberta.

The Progressive Conservative government normally has many of its cabinet members from rural Alberta.

This time, premier Alison Redford has only a few members to choose from that have both agriculture and political experience, said Bob Barss, president of the Alberta Association of Municipal Districts and Counties.

“She has got lot of MLAs to choose from, but how many have ag experience?” he said.

“Half of rural Alberta walked away from her party. Hopefully it doesn’t have an impact on how we’re dealt with. We’re really hoping to get three or four ministers out of rural Alberta.”

Barss would like to have Doug Horner as agriculture minister, but believes Horner will likely be given a high profile portfolio. Before the election was called, Horner was deputy premier and president of the Treasury Board and Enterprise.

“When you look at (Redford’s) cabinet, Doug’s expertise may be needed

BOB BARSS ALBERTA ASSOCIATION OF MUNICIPAL DISTRICTS AND COUNTIES

elsewhere,” he said. “He’s very senior and very experienced and is probably not going to be in ag.”

Shirley McClellan served as deputy premier and agriculture minister under former premier Ralph Klein, but Barss doesn’t know if agriculture is given the same level of importance anymore.

He pointed to northern Alberta MLA Hector Goudreau as a possible replacement, saying the former minister of municipal affairs worked well with the AAMD&C. Goudreau has a good understanding of agriculture as a former district agriculturist, he added.

However, Barss said Goudreau may be passed over because he was forced to resign from a legislative committee just before the election was called for sending a letter to a northern Alberta school board suggesting that criticism of the government may hinder its chances of a new school.

Barss said the premier might have to look at newly elected MLAs to fill

the portfolio. He pointed to Everett McDonald of Grande Prairie and Maureen Kubinec of Barrhead-Morinville-Westlock as possibilities.

McDonald, a farmer, was reeve of the County of Grande Prairie and spent 19 years on county council.

Maureen Kubinec, a farmer, was school trustee and Westlock County councillor and has plenty of good leadership quality, said Barss.

With much of the rural and agricultural area represented by members not in government, Barss said his organization will need to work closely with both government and opposition members to bring rural issues to the forefront.

“Wildrose doesn’t represent government, but they still understand rural issues.”

Matt Sawyer, chair of the Alberta Barley Commission, also wonders if Horner will be given back his agriculture portfolio.

“I don’t suppose Doug Horner would be back. He was certainly great, wasn’t he?”

Sawyer said he’s looking for a strong agriculture minister at a time when a new open grain market is about to go into effect and more international trade and trans pacific partnerships are being developed,.

“I sure hope they choose the right person. I hope they do choose someone that has experience.”

Rich Smith, general manager of

Alberta Beef Producers, said he has no insight into who will be the new agriculture minister, but he knew several defeated PC members who would have made good agriculture ministers.

“A number of people who I thought would be good agriculture ministers weren’t successful.”

It will be tough to get rural representation from a government with few members in rural areas, said Smith. “Putting someone in an urban riding representing agriculture would be a tough one.”

Smith said ABP will work closely with Wildrose MLAs, who represent a large number of cattle producers in southern Alberta.

“For us, a substantial number of cattle producers are in areas represented by Wildrose. Certainly we will be working with the Wildrose,” said Smith.

In the past, opposition MLAs in Alberta were from the cities.

Lougheed area farmer Ken Skoberg suggested Doug Griffiths might be an obvious choice. Griffith served as parliamentary assistant to former agriculture minister George Groeneveld and before the election was minister of municipal affairs.

Skobert wondered if Redford would roll the ministries of municipal affairs and agriculture together and give cities their own ministry.

“Just a thought,” he said.

Saskatchewan’s short-line railway companies will receive $700,000 in provincial government grants this year.

The grants, awarded annually under the province’s Shortline Railway Sustainability Program, are meant to improve the condition of provincially regulated short-line railways and can be used for projects such as track maintenance, tie replacements and bridge repairs.

The program offers infrastructure grants on a 50-50 cost-shared basis.

That means government money must be matched, dollar-for-dollar, by eligible railway companies.

Provincial funding is provided through the Saskatchewan Grain Car Corp.

Provincial grants also totalled $700,000 in 2011.

“Our government recognizes short lines are an effective transportation alternative for grain producers and other shippers to get products to market,” said highways and infrastructure minister Jim Reiter.

“In addition to supporting economic development in rural Saskatchewan, short-line railways help reduce heavy truck traffic and road wear on our highways.”

Saskatchewan short lines that qualify for grants this year include: • Southern Rails Co-operative, Avonlea, $35,000 • Carlton Trail Railway, Prince Albert, $76,382 • Red Coat Road and Rail, Viceroy, $47,739 • Great Western Railway, Shaunavon, $205,901 • Thunder Rail, Arborfield, $35,000 • Wheatland Rail, Cudworth, $35,000 • Fife Lake Railway, Coronach, $40,267 • Torch River Rail, Choiceland, $35,000 • Great Sandhills Railway, Leader, $78,458 • Last Mountain Railway, Regina, $56,457 • Stewart Southern Railway, Fillmore, $54,796 Conrad Johnson, president of the Saskatchewan Shortline Railway Association, said annual grants offered through the program represent an important source of funding for his members.

“Our association appreciates the provincial government’s ongoing commitment in supporting shortline rail in Saskatchewan,” Johnson said.

“These grants have provided the funding necessary to grow our transportation sector.”

Saskatchewan has 11 short-line railway companies that operate 1,900 kilometres of provincially regulated track.

DAIRY | MILKING

Robots ease dairy producersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; labour pains Less labour intensive | Dairy producers enjoy the benefits of robotic milking machines

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Garth Hockley couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help himself as he stood next to a robotic milking machine inside his barn: he had to grin as he admired the technology. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I never get tired of watching it,â&#x20AC;? said Hockley, who opened up his dairy farm to visitors for the National Holstein Convention held in Brandon last month.

Hockley, who milks 60 cows with his wife, Elaine, son, Neale, and daughter-in-law, Dayna, installed a robotic milker on his farm near Brandon in December 2010.

The Hockleys also built a new free stall barn on their farm to accommodate the voluntary milking system, where Holsteins walk into the robot stall when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ready to milk.

Robots cost $225,000 to $300,000 and a new barn is sometimes necessary, which means it would seem logical that larger dairies with herds of 300 or more cows would be a better fit for a voluntary milking system because of higher revenues.

However, calculations from Ontario and anecdotal evidence on the Prairies indicate robotic milking is best suited for farms with 60 to 240 cows.

Blaine McLeod, chair of the Saskatchewan Milk Control Board, runs a dairy with 300 cows near Caronport, Sask. He expanded his farm by 100 cows about a year ago, but decided to continue running a milk parlour rather than install robots. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(There are) efficiencies that come from size. It just means running the parlour a tiny bit longer,â&#x20AC;? McLeod said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m milking 100 more cows than I was a year ago. My labour requirement to do that hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t increased substantially. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking two to three hours (of additional labour).â&#x20AC;?

Research in Ontario and other regions backs McLeodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s argument that smaller and mid-sized operators benefit more from robotic milking

Garth Hockley, right, installed a milking robot on his dairy farm near Brandon 17 months ago, but the novelty hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worn off. Hockley still enjoys showing the technology to visitors, such as Jennifer and Harley Strudwick of Balgonie, Sask. | ROBERT ARNASON PHOTO than large dairies.

The tipping point is in the range of 240 cows, said Brian Lang, dairy specialist with Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agriculture ministry in Woodstock.

Robots can handle about 60 cows.

As a result, producers needing more than four robots are probably better off with a milking parlour because of the high capital cost of installing robots and the inherent efficiencies of large parlour operations. The availability and cost of employees is a key factor in the calculation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If labour is relatively inexpensive and very reliable, that moves the equation more to the parlour side,â&#x20AC;?

Lang said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If labour is expensive â&#x20AC;Ś or you plain just canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get it, then (the

You can get young folks to do chores, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pretty fussy about how we milk our cows and I think we should be. This robot is consistentâ&#x20AC;Ś Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never late for work, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never hung over.

balance) goes to the robot side.â&#x20AC;?

McLeod said producers in Saskatchewan who are converting their barns to robotic milking tend to be smaller operators or producers who are struggling to attract and retain labourers.

In his case, two sons work in the family business and his farm is close to Briercrest College, which offers a pool of part-time labour.

McLeod based his decision on economic returns, but other dairy farmers, both large and small, may be

Some Hutterite colonies in Saskatchewan have switched over to robotic milking, he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect that colonies would have a labour shortage, but what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re finding is that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re having difficulty keeping their young people connected to the farms.â&#x20AC;?

Labour was a factor in Hockleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to install a robot. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The hangup in every case was the milking process. You can get young folks to do chores, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pretty fussy about how we milk our cows and I think we should be,â&#x20AC;? he said.

ROBOTIC MILKING FACTS

“This robot is consistent… It’s never late for work, it’s never hung over.”

However, Hockley disagreed with the assertion that robots are best suited for smaller dairies.

He said a producer in Elm Creek, Man., has 12 robots and another in La Broquerie, Man., has eight, which shows that robots also offer efficiencies for large dairies.

Jack Rodenburg, a robotic milking consultant in Ontario, has written that robots are less competitive than parlors for larger herds. However, the scale will tip toward voluntary milking as labour costs increase and robot prices fall.

McLeod pays his workers an hourly rate in the mid to high teens, but speculated that the shortage of workers may force some dairy farmers in Saskatchewan to pay $20 per hour.

“I wouldn’t think that would be the standard … but it’s not out of the question,” he said.

“You’re competing with really large farms, on the grain side. They are setting the standard (for wages).”

Some farmers also dislike managing employees, which might encourage the move to a robot, Lang said.

Employee headaches were an issue for Hockley, but another factor was quality of life.

• Manitoba has approximately 60 farms with milking robots, representing 18 percent of the 334 dairy farms in the province

LIVESTOCK

• In Saskatchewan, 10 to 15 percent of dairy farms use robotic milking • In Ontario, a new milking robot is installed at a farm every seven to 10 days. However, with more than 4,000 dairy farms, it will take years for robots to replace milking parlours in the province • A milking robot costs $200,000 to $300,000, depending on who is asked and how many are bought • Lely, a milking robot manufacturer, has sold more than 12,500 robots worldwide. The company, based in the Netherlands, opened a manufacturing plant in Iowa this March to satisfy North American demand Source: staff research

Decades of handling milking equipment and cattle can be hard on knees, hips and other joints. That kind of work isn’t as easy as it once was for Hockley and Elaine, who are now senior citizens.

“This (the robot) has certainly changed our lifestyle. We’re still putting in time (in the barn), but it’s not so labour intensive.”

Bison and elk can be a source of infection

T

uberculosis is still present in Canada.

B i s o n i n Wo o d B u f f a l o National Park and elk in Riding Mountain National Park are infected with the disease, and nearby cattle herds are at risk of contracting it from these potential sources of infection.

The bacteria, Mycobacterium bovis, causes chronic, debilitating infections in a wide variety of domestic and wild animals. The characteristic tuberculosis lesions are large, semi-solid, pus-filled lymph nodes and growths in the lungs.

Both the disease and the issues surrounding it are long-lived and difficult to manage.

Tuberculosis was controlled starting in 1896, and eventually eradicated from cattle in the 1980s through an expensive control program.

Positive herds were culled following testing. Infections detected at slaughter were traced back and the herds eliminated.

Tuberculosis in cattle was discovered in Alberta in 2001 and British Columbia in 2007, but the source of these infections was not determined.

Eradication has been achieved in Canadian cattle, but infected wildlife threatens our diseasefree status.

The situation in Canada is not unique. Wildlife reservoirs of tuber-

culosis are present elsewhere, including possums in New Zealand, badgers in the United Kingdom and white-tailed deer in Michigan.

In humans, it is impossible to tell whether cattle or other humans are the source of infection without sophisticated molecular diagnostic testing. Both look similar.

Tuberculosis was a flagship disease in the public health movement and provided the major incentive for milk pasteurization, which kills the bacteria.

Bovine tuberculosis was passed from unpasteurized milk to people, mainly children, who went on to develop oozing lymph nodes in the neck. Tuberculosis, especially in the lungs, kills people if left untreated.

Festering in Alberta and Manitoba, this disease continues to threaten Canada’s cattle herd, exports and ultimately human health.

Wood bison in Wood Buffalo National Park became infected with tuberculosis when the Canadian government made the controversial decision in the 1920s to move 6,000 Plains bison from Buffalo National Park wear Wainwright, Alta.

Not only did the two subspecies interbreed to create hybrids but they are also suspected of transmitting tuberculosis and another infectious disease, brucellosis.

A survey of bison hunted near Wood Bison National Park in the early 1980s found 21 percent were infected. A more recent study found more than 50 percent of bison tested had been exposed to tuberculosis.

A RECENT STUDY SHOWED MORE THAN

50%

OF BISON TESTED HAD BEEN EXPOSED TO TUBERCULOSIS

First detected in elk near Riding Mountain National Park in 1992, tuberculosis has since been found in less than one percent of elk tested in the area.

Neighbouring cattle have tested positive, presumably picking up the infection from elk. Extensive testing in the area still occurs.

Treatment and vaccines don’t exist for controlling this disease in cattle and wildlife.

Who is responsible for these smouldering clusters of disease?

The answer is complex and partially explains why eradication has not been achieved.

Parks Canada has jurisdiction over animals within the park. In Riding Mountain, elk outside the park are considered wildlife and fall under the jurisdiction of provincial wildlife.

In Alberta, however, bison are classified as domestic animals, which means wild bison that wander outside national parks are treated as livestock at large.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is primarily concerned with potential exposure and testing of domestic animals that may contract tuberculosis from wildlife.

Muddying the waters even further are special interest groups, including conservationists, First Nations and hunters.

The current policy of neglect is not a solution. Co-operation among government, the cattle industry and other interest groups is necessary for conclusive action to occur. Without treatment or vaccination, culling these diseased animals is the only reasonable solution.

Abundant healthy bison and elk populations exist in other parts of the country that can be used to replenish the parks. Action should be taken before more cattle, or worse, people become infected.

“GOTCHA”

World yawns over BSE case in U.S.

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

The discovery of BSE in a California dairy cow will be a non-event if it goes like recent cases, says an official with the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association.

There was a flurry of e-mails and news stories immediately following the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s announcement, and then quiet.

“Everyone realizes, yes, it’s not a big deal, they’ve got strong controls,” said John Masswohl, the CCA’s director of governmental and international relations.

Beef cattle markets were limit down April 24, the day of the announcement, but bounced back the following day. Two grocery stories in South Korea temporarily halted American beef sales, but the country did not close borders to American beef.

“It just seems typical to me of what happened in the last couple cases.

There was some attention and then in sober second thought realized there was no need to react,” said Masswohl.

It’s the fourth discovered and confirmed case of BSE in the United States and the first in six years. Three cases were discovered between 2003 and 2006.

There have been 18 discovered cases of BSE in Canada. The discovery of BSE in a northern Alberta beef cow in 2003 devastated the Canadian beef industry, and Canadian producers are only just recovering from the loss of markets and lower prices.

There were 29 cases of BSE worldwide last year, a dramatic decline since the 37,311 cases in 1992. The drop is directly attributed to feed bans, said the USDA in its news release.

The California dairy cow had a rare atypical BSE rather than the classical BSE, which is transmitted through the feed system. Since the 1990s, there have been more than 180,000 confirmed cases of BSE. Only about 60 are atypical cases, or variations of BSE. “We are sharing our laboratory results with international animal health reference laboratories in Canada and England, which have official world animal health (OIE) reference labs,” the USDA said.

“These labs have extensive experience diagnosing atypical BSE and will review our confirmation of this form of the disease. In addition, we will be conducting a comprehensive epidemiological investigation in conjunction with California animal and public health officials and the FDA (Food and Drug Administration).”

Masswohl said atypical BSE tends to be in older animals. Officials have not yet released the age of the dairy cow that tested positive for BSE at a rendering facility.

Masswohl said it is not uncommon to test animals at a rendering facility.

Surveillance systems in Canada and the U.S. are designed to look for highrisk animals.

“It’s not about testing lots of animal, but the right ones.”

BSE | U.S. SURVEILLANCE

BSE ignites push for tracking system Fourth case in United States | Critics say it proves need for an ID system; others say testing worked WASHINGTON, D.C. (Reuters) — The recent discovery of the United States’ fourth case of BSE was one of two things for food safety experts: a validation of a decade-long focused surveillance regime or a lucky break that highlights the need to revisit previously scrapped efforts for more comprehensive surveillance.

For now, calls for greater monitoring seem likely to go unheard, both because the atypical case appeared to be a one-in-a-million genetic mutation that officials said posed no threat to the food supply, and because of tightening budgets.

Funding for cattle health programs in the proposed 2013 budget is set to fall by 20 percent compared to two years earlier.

Discovery of the infected dairy cow at a rendering plant in central California may stoke an intensifying debate over food safety in the U.S., which is already a major topic after this spring’s “pink slime” furor, fungicide-tainted orange juice from Brazil and never-ending efforts to control disease in food caused by salmonella and E. coli bacteria.

Major importers from Japan to Canada pledged to maintain beef shipments and U.S. officials stressed that the atypical case had occurred in the cow spontaneously and was not in others animals, but critics were quick to respond.

“Yesterday’s announcement of the fourth case of BSE, or mad cow disease, in the United States clearly highlights the need for a comprehen-

sive national animal identification system,” said U.S. House of Representatives member Rosa DeLauro, a senior Democrat on the House appropriations subcommittee that oversees the U.S. Department of Agriculture and a frequent critic of its handling of livestock issues.

“We were lucky to identify this case.”

However, government officials say luck had nothing to do with it.

The USDA tests only a fraction of the herd for BSE — 40,000 head a year versus 34 million slaughtered last year — but it does so under a protocol that is aimed at higher-risk animals and that the department says can detect BSE at less than one in a million head.

The two major U.S. safeguards are a ban on using cattle protein in cattle feed, which can lead to animal-toanimal transmission, and keeping parts of the cow that can carry high concentrations of the disease out of the food supply, such as brains, spinal cords and nervous tissue.

“We test for BSE at levels 10 times greater than world animal health organization standards,” said USDA chief veterinarian John Clifford.

The disease takes years to develop, so when it does occur spontaneously it is chiefly found in older cattle. Most slaughter cattle in the U.S. are butchered before two years of age, which is too young for the disease.

The first U.S. BSE case was in 2003.

Government and industry officials lined up after the April 24 announcement of the fourth case to tout the detection of the infected animal as proof of the strength of the existing U.S. measures.

“I am confident of the safety of American beef,” said agriculture secretary Tom Vilsack, who insists U.S. testing is based on world standards.

Still, the USDA has in the past put forward stricter trace back measures for protecting against BSE, which can cause a fatal disease in humans who eat infected meat.

Just after the first BSE case was identified in 2003, the department proposed a mandatory system of registering livestock facilities and major food animals with the goal of tracing a disease outbreak to the home farm in 48 hours. The idea withered in the face of objections of high costs for high-tech identification tags, government intrusion onto private property and fear among producers of facing liability claims.

The USDA subsequently proposed a rule in 2011 that covers livestock shipped across state lines and initially exempts feeder cattle, the bulk of the cattle population.

The rule allows ear tags, brands, ear tattoos and breed registry cer-

tificates to be used, which is a potential welter of identifying marks and documents but a familiar approach for producers.

A final version of the rule is expected to be issued by the end of this year, says the USDA. It asked Congress for $14 million for the new traceability system in the new fiscal year, an increase of $5.6 million.

“This is the fourth time we’ve had a warning shot that if we had a major BSE problem, we wouldn’t be able to find where all the exposed cohort ended up,” said Sarah Klein of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, which says the U.S. has “a Third World animal identification system.”

Such measures could prove a tough sell in Washington’s current climate, where both political parties are looking for ways to reduce the growing federal deficit.

Funding for cattle health safety programs at the USDA will fall to $99 million this year from $112 million in fiscal 2011 and drop further to $90 million under a White House proposal for fiscal 2013.

While the spectre of BSE as a health scourge has faded during a decade of success in controlling the disease, the latest case has emboldened those in favour of more testing.

Michael Hansen of the Union of Concerned Scientists said the U.S. needs to adopt more stringent measures.

“Surveillance has to include a percentage or all animals over a certain age.”

Study examines livestock’s environmental impact Life cycle analysis | Among recommended management practices is use of ionophores in roughage diets to improve digestion

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Reducing the Alberta beef industry’s environmental hoofprint may be easier said than done.

Alberta Agriculture, commodity groups and scientists recently conducted a two-phase study that evaluated the environmental impact and possible benefits of certain practices to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Many livestock groups promote best management practices. Benefits include improved animal health and better soil quality, but the environmental improvements were not always obvious.

“We thought some of the things that would have an obvious impact, like composting, did not pan out as well as we thought it would,” said Don Brown, executive director of Alberta Agriculture’s economics and competitiveness division.

The results were posted last year

It became abundantly clear to us there wasn’t one way of raising beef in Alberta.

and are intended as a guide rather than a must do list.

Making improvements cannot be standardized because producers work in different environmental conditions.

“It became abundantly clear to us there wasn’t one way of raising beef in Alberta,” he said. “There are hundreds of ways of raising beef and each farmer has his own preferred way of doing it.”

The study looked at environmental impacts on the farm from the time calves are born until they are sold to

the slaughter plant. It examined the costs and impacts of grazing, feed production and delivery, as well as other common farm practices such as manure disposal.

Beneficial practices such as swath grazing, pasture rotation, composting and improving feed efficiency were measured to assess their contributions to reducing harmful emissions.

Known as a life cycle analysis, the study was the first of its kind for the beef industry in North America. A life cycle analysis is used to quantify and improve environmental performance of products and production systems. It has been used in the energy industry.

The first phase, completed in 2010, estimated the carbon footprint and environmental impacts on air, water and soil as well as non-renewable energy consumption.

Phase two was completed in 2011 with a cost benefit assessment of

various practices to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The study determined that beef produces 14.5 kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalent per kilogram of beef for the entire calf crop. About half of emissions came from cattle burping and flatulence.

Another 18.6 percent comes from on-farm energy consumption, mostly the burning of diesel fuel.

Nitrous oxide emissions from soil and manure were measured at 16.3 percent while forage and cereal production activities contribute 8.8 percent of emissions.

The study recommended five best management practices to reduce greenhouse gas emissions: • fewer days on feed • use of ionophores in roughage diets to improve digestion • swath grazing • growth promotants in the last 28 days of the animal’s life • selection of feed efficient sires

The practices of using stockpiled forage and composting did not reduce greenhouse gases.

However, using ionophores, swath grazing and feed efficient animals seemed to reduce gases but did not offer a significant economic benefit, Brown said.

For example, following the fewer days on feed recommendation provided a benefit of only $56 million to the industry.

“With the scale of the Alberta industry, that benefit was not going to make or break too many people,” he said.

Swath grazing showed lower greenhouse gas emissions because less fuel is burned delivering feed to the animals. However, many have adopted it because it saves time and labour because the cattle find their own feed rather than wait for it to be delivered.

Tarzan tree house: play time in the great outdoors COWBOY LOGIC

RYAN TAYLOR

T

here are few things a kid just has to have if he’s going to be an all around, outdoors loving kid: a good collection of rocks, sticks and feathers; a jackknife just sharp enough to cut your finger and make it bleed; and a hand crafted tree house suitable for both playing and pondering the great mysteries of life that only a kid can ponder.

Our children have been collecting rocks, sticks and feathers for years.

Two of the three who have reached

the ripe old age of five have been given official Yellowstone Park souvenir pocket knives, and, as of last week, they have a tree house built in the great forest 100 feet north of our house.

I don’t remember how old I was when my first tree house was put into service, but I must have been fairly young because Dad and my brother built it just four or five feet off the ground.

They didn’t want to build it so high that I’d hurt myself when my sister pushed me off the edge, which she most certainly would at some point in time.

It got a lot of play time for the small investment made in two by fours and plywood.

When I was old enough to outgrow it, I ventured out into the great forest beyond my backyard with a hammer and nails and a few old boards to find

a horizontal growing cottonwood tree worth homesteading.

I would nail my ladder steps up to the best sideways branch I could find and commence construction.

Eventually, I built on a branch so high that Dad put a pile of loose hay under it to break my fall, just in case the old barn siding secured with my bent over nails let loose and let me down.

I built some good ones complete with back rests, top decks, lower decks and lookout sentries.

My nephew was recently out turkey hunting and I was trying to think of a project we could do with him and my little rascals to keep them outside. It dawned on me exactly what we should do. I grabbed some tools and had them each drag a couple of used boards as we ventured out into the trees.

The blueprint was in my mind as we

set up shop next to two old cottonwoods with a root that served as a sawhorse. I gave lessons in sawing and hammering and, together, the plan went from mental draft to deciduous architecture in no time flat.

I kept the height of the deck at about five feet to limit the tears and the booboos. That was a good thing because I had the first boo-boo when the old aluminum ladder I was using during construction collapsed and dumped me flat on my back like a pile of bricks.

I was sure glad I hadn’t built a 10 footer as I laid there and groaned on top of the crumpled ladder.

We built a more permanent ladder out of wood, one that a sibling couldn’t swipe and leave their brother or sister stranded on a high, lonely five foot platform.

These kids are resourceful enough

little Tarzan cartoon watchers so I suppose they could swing to the ground if need be with a makeshift vine made from an old lariat. Still, we secured a ladder to our cottonwood condo.

At the end of the day, the tree house was up, and we all admired it and took pride in our handiwork. I expect, and hope, there will be some modifications. I left a few boards out there and I’ll gladly donate the nails, because every kid ought to have a tree house, and it should be one-ofa-kind.

Now I’ll know right where to find them if it’s a nice day outside, especially if it looks like a good day for playing or pondering or swinging from the vine.

More planned after Farmers push for revenue cap review Viterra buy: Glencore

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Expanding canola crushing assets considered

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Glencore executive Chris Mahoney says the company has plans for Canada beyond its acquisition of Viterra.

In an interview in Regina last week, the company’s director of agriculture products said Glencore’s first priority is to gain approval of the $6.1 billion Viterra bid, probably by late July or early August.

Viterra shareholders vote May 29 on whether to accept the deal. The largest shareholder, Alberta Investment Management Corp. with 16.5 percent of the shares, has already said it approves of the deal.

Mahoney said the applications to Investment Canada and competition bureaus around the world have been filed and the company has been talking to the federal and Saskatchewan and Manitoba governments.

He said the company wants everything finalized in time for harvest.

However, Glencore is also looking at the future demands on agriculture in Western Canada. Mahoney said the current infrastructure is relatively modern and efficient, but there isn’t much spare capacity.

“That doesn’t necessarily mean that we have to start building within a year but certainly within three or four years we’ll have to be doing that.”

Demand growth is 3.5 to 3.75 percent per year, he said, mainly from Asia for oilseeds and oilseed products. That growth compounded will result in the need for 25 percent more food in six or seven years rather than 30 or 40, he said.

Countries that are able to produce more oilseeds, such as the United States and those in South America, will do so at the expense of grain plantings.

“Therefore, the slack in the grain market will have to be taken up by countries like Canada, and so we fully expect that Canada will have to produce more and export more, and although there may be sufficient infrastructure today there won’t be in three or four years time. We will definitely participate in the building of that infrastructure because if we don’t do that we will lose market

share.”

Successful completion of the Viterra deal will see Glencore subsequently sell 19 grain elevators and other assets to Richardson International, as well as 232 agri-retail locations to Agrium.

Mahoney has estimated Glencore’s market share won’t be more than 35 percent, compared to Viterra’s 45 percent.

Once the Viterra acquisition closes, Mahoney said Glencore will look at expanding its canola crushing assets, including installing a hexane extractor at its facility in Ste. Agathe, Man. Under the terms of the deal, Glencore will retain Viterra’s canola plant in China.

The company will use its North American head office in Regina — the same building that housed forerunners Saskatchewan Wheat Pool and Viterra — as an access point to the United States.

Mahoney described the United States as a missing piece in the Glencore portfolio and said efforts there could focus on a large acquisition or a couple of smaller ones.

“If it was smaller acquisitions, you might have to brownfield or greenfield and build onto those, so certainly that’s something we’ll look at (by the) back end of this year, next year,” he said.

Regina will also serve as the base for getting into Me x ico, although Mahoney said efforts there will be of a marketing nature.

Mahoney met with several farm organizations while in Regina last week. He said none of them mentioned the recent negative media reports of Glencore mining companies’ questionable labour and environmental practices.

Mahoney said the reports were inaccurate, but also noted he does not work in that part of the business.

Western wheat farmers are calling for a review of the way the railway revenue cap is calculated after learning it will increase by 9.5 percent as of Aug. 1.

Kevin Bender, president of the Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association, said the proposed increases — announced April 30 by the Canadian Transportation Agency — represent an unwarranted freight rate hike that will directly impact western Canadian farm incomes.

The increases point to the need for a new revenue cap calculation formula that takes into account recent gains in railway efficiency.

In recent years, railway companies have boosted grain handling efficiencies by pulling longer grain

trains, increasing rail car capacities and investing in new, more fuel efficient locomotives, the WCWGA argues.

According to Bender, those gains should be reflected in freight rates.

“This (9.5 percent increase) represents a significant jump in freight rates,” he said.

“The government needs to review the components of the revenue cap and come up with a better approach to ensure that farmers a re n o t h i t w i t h u n w a r r a n t e d freight increases.”

The railway revenue cap limits the amount of revenue that Canada’s major railway companies can earn from moving prairie grain to ports at Thunder Bay and the West Coast.

The Canadian Transportation Agency calculates it annually using a formula that considers borrowing costs, inflation, railway labour costs,

fuel costs and capital investments.

The central element in the cap calculation formula is an index figure known as the Volume Related Composite Price Index (VRCPI).

The VRCPI for the 2012-13 crop year has been set at 1.2895, the highest level ever approved by the CTA and a 9.5 percent increase over 2011-12.

It is still not clear how the higher VRCPI will affect overall revenues at Canadian Pacific Railway and Canadian National Railway during the 2012-13 crop year.

Total revenues will depend on the amount of grain that is moved.

In 2010-11, CPR hauled 14.7 million tonnes of grain and had a revenue cap of $444 million.

CN hauled 16.44 million tonnes and had a revenue cap of $509 million.

Optimism abounds in agriculture Sound financial returns | Analysts say high commodity prices are expected to continue

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Economic analysts continue to see little but blue skies and profits for farmers this year, even if risks are growing slowly beneath the surface.

In an agricultural industry outlook session April 26, two senior lenders from the Bank of Montreal and Canadian Federation of Agriculture president Ron Bonnett sketched a picture of farmers continuing to recover from previous decades of low prices and reinvesting in their farms.

There is “a lot of optimism, and that optimism is well-founded,” said Ross Purdy, manager of farm lending for BMO in Alberta.

BMO national agricultural lending manager David Rinneard said his bank’s just-released outlook analysis report suggests that good financial times will continue this year for farmers who are able to produce crops and livestock.

“Overall, 2012 should be a prosperous year for agriculture, and certainly we see this prosperity manifesting itself in sound financial returns,” said Rinneard.

Bonnett agreed that farmers are optimistic and said he shared the outlook.

“I think we’re well-positioned to take advantage of some of the market opportunities out there,” said Bonnett.

The BMO outlook is not one of unrestrained bullishness. It expects prices for most farm commodities

to moderate, although they will “remain at elevated levels.” That applies to crops and livestock.

However, a rising loonie and input prices will reduce farm profits from what they could be.

Bonnett and the lenders recommended farmers take risk management seriously to avoid dangers and protect profits. Purdy said some cattle feeders are now suffering from recent declining fed cattle prices and strong feedgrain prices, but hedged producers have continued to do well.

“A good number of our cattle feeders placed hedge positions or forward delivery contracts last fall on cattle that are marketed now,” said Purdy.

“They are sharing really good returns by having that method.”

Interest rate changes are also a possible threat to margins, with Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney recently suggesting higher interest rates could be coming.

Rinneard said farmers should do “sensitivity analyses” on their farm finances to see what would happen if interest rates increased from today’s historically low levels. A mix of fixed rate financing and variable rates allows farmers more security than solely using variable rates, which are attractive now because of the low rates.

“Regardless of what the prevailing rate at the time is, you’ve got a partial hedge in place to address what will be an inevitable interest rate increase,” said Rinneard.

He noted that a one percent interest rate increase on the farm sector’s $70 billion in debt would equal $700 million in increased financing costs, all of which would come out of farm returns.

However, BMO does not expect higher interest rates soon.

“I don’t believe our economists are really anticipating a material increase in interest rates.”

Money has been pouring into agriculture around the world for the past decade as outlooks for continued high ag commodity prices offer the prospect of continuing profitability.

Hedge fund money has flowed into direct purchases of farmland, investors are bidding up the share prices of farm equipment manufacturers and investors have piled into agricultural futures contracts.

BMO has made a strong move into the agricultural lending area in recent years, which the big banks often avoid because of the role that Farm Credit Canada plays.

BMO has issued reports on agriculture and held panel discussions about them, such as the one held last week, often with the participation of the CFA. Rinneard said his bank’s portfolio of agricultural lending has increased more than its overall portfolio in recent years, which shows its interest in the often-neglected area of the national economy.

Rinneard said farming and agriculture’s contribution to the economy is underappreciated and that many

industries depend on it.

“Farms are very capital intensive businesses and when they are prosperous, they are investing in infrastructure and other capital investments” such as machinery.

Bonnett said the recent years of profitability have allowed farmers to recover from many years of low returns or losses, and most of them have plowed their profits back into improving their farms.

“As farmers get more profit, they then reinvest in machinery and equipment and that immediately begins reflecting in productivity increases,” said Bonnett.

Of course, crop production depends on weather, and Rinneard said overall agricultural returns for the past two years have been hurt by bad weather conditions in Western Canada.

“It really contracted,” Rinneard said.

Wheat growers sold on healthy doughnut

Mustard firm looks for final hour deal

Market for wheat | Producers in the North Dakota co-op get a premium for their wheat

BRANDON BUREAU

Kristi Guilford wants her kids to eat a healthy breakfast, which is why she never feeds her children doughnuts for the most important meal of the day.

However, she might reconsider her stance if the doughnuts were made with whole grains.

“I can see it working well, maybe for a high school student who doesn’t have time for breakfast,” said Guilford of Crystal City, Man. “When you’re at school, it’s not easy to grab a bowl of cereal and walk down the hall.”

Guilford heard about whole grain doughnuts at Capturing Opportunities, a value-added conference held in Brandon in April.

Leland Barth, executive director of Dakota Pride Co-operative in Jamestown, North Dakota, told conference participants about a whole grain doughnut project his co-op launched a few years ago with other organizations in the state.

Members of the North Dakota Farmers Union created Dakota Pride in the late 1990s to increase economic opportunities for member farmers through identity preserved production and marketing.

The co-op, which has 200 producer

LELAND BARTH NORTH DAKOTA PRIDE CO-OPERATIVE

members who farm 100,000 acres, concentrates on two IP crops: nongenetically modified soybeans and hard white spring wheat. IP, which includes traceability back to specific fields and growing particular crop varieties, helps the co-op garner premium prices for its growers, Barth said.

“We’re segregating for traits … that have intrinsic values that the overseas customer is looking for… and extract a premium for those traits.”

The idea for a whole grain doughnut came about three years ago when Barth was golfing with representatives of North Dakota Mill, a state-owned wheat mill, and Fetting’s Frozen Bakery Products of Finley, N.D. The three companies joined forces to develop and market whole grain doughnuts as a way to increase demand for hard white spring wheat and make a few dollars in the process.

A Fetting’s baker developed a formula for the doughnut with 40 per-

cent whole grain, and the partners began marketing the pastry to buyers in North Dakota and Minnesota.

Barth thought they would sell millions of whole grain doughnuts to grocery chains in the Upper Midwest, but it didn’t materialize.

“Initially we thought we could get into some of the grocery stores in the state. But most, if not all, produce their own doughnuts,” he said.

Instead, the group targeted two polar opposite markets: gas station convenience stores and school lunch programs.

They now sell six packs of whole grain doughnuts at Cenex stores in Minnesota and North Dakota.

As well, they distribute doughnuts to eight school districts in the region.

“Some of the (school) dietitians found it compares very well to feeding a bowl of oatmeal to the kids, in terms of fibre and the amount of vitamins,” Barth said.

“One of our biggest markets is a school district just outside of Minneapolis. It’s using the doughnuts on a regular basis.”

Guilford, who questioned Barth on the nutritional content of the doughnuts at the Brandon meeting, is curi-

ous but also skeptical about a wholegrain doughnut fried in sunflower oil.

“A doughnut is something I would never think about feeding my kids,” she said. “(But) the fact that they (students) are eating breakfast and getting some nutrition, maybe there’s a benefit to that.”

While they haven’t seen an explosion in whole grain pastries sales, Barth and his business partners have sold one million plain, powdered sugar and cinnamon sugar doughnuts over the last few years.

In addition, North Dakota Mill sells bags of whole grain flour made from hard white spring wheat.

Consequently, Dakota Pride now contracts 8,000 acres of hard white spring wheat, up from 2,000 several years ago.

Producers who belong to the co-op receive a premium for growing the hard white wheat, which yields similar to red spring wheat, Barth said.

Farmers usually receive a 35 cent per bushel premium over hard red spring wheat, he added.

“You’re usually looking at extra $12 to $18 per acre.”

Mustard Capital Inc. will close its doors May 4 unless a last-minute deal is struck to keep the Gravelbourg, Sask., company in business.

A restructuring process has not gone as well as the company had hoped. Interest was shown, but no firm offers were made.

“I am surprised,” said chief executive officer Tom Halpenny April 25.

“There is no question we created value with our business.”

He said producers and customers strongly supported the company, so he was disappointed in the outcome.

Mustard Capital opened in 2007 to clean, process and mill mustard for clients around the world but was undercapitalized from the start.

In 2010, it undertook a $1.3 million expansion project at Vanguard, Sask.

“We never fully realized the potential that we created from the time that we commissioned into the building,” said Halpenny.

That was directly related to being undercapitalized, he added.

W

ant the inside scoop on fertilizer prices? You could do a whole lot worse than to talk to Greg Haney.

He’s crop inputs manager and a partner in Agrocentre Belcan, an independent retailer with two outlets in southwestern Quebec and another in eastern Ontario.

His company is part of one of the largest fertilizer buying groups in Eastern Canada, and Haney sits on the board of the Canadian Association of Agri-Retailers.

In short, Haney is one well-connected guy. But his most critical source of information in the fertilizer business might surprise you.

“When it comes to managing our risk, the biggest thing we have to do is listen to our growers,” says Haney.

“They’re the key. Our top growers are the people we lean on, and if you ask what they’re doing, they’ll tell you. So we ask, ‘what are you marketing now? What are your key price

numbers? What are your forecasted revenues?’ ” The value of keeping in close touch with farmers was driven home during the winter of 2008-09, one of the worst-ever periods for ag retailers.

Fertilizer prices had soared all year, and farmers were threatening to dramatically reduce purchases.

But for all their sources of information, dealers were torn.

If they didn’t have sufficient fertilizer supplies before spring planting, competitors might steal away their customers.

And with major buyers such as China apparently willing to pay skyhigh prices, the trade rumours were that fertilizer supplies could be tight, and maybe even pricier.

Many rolled the dice and bought anyway. But instead of rising that winter, as prices normally do, they fell off a cliff.

“That was a very bad time,” recalls Haney. “A lot of guys shut down.”

Haney had been of two minds, too.

Crop inputs account for more than half of the Quebec company’s sales, and he sure didn’t want longtime customers buying fertilizer, and likely seed and chemicals, from a rival.

But Agrocentre Belcan also has a 2,000-acre farming division, as well as soybean export and feed divisions.

Haney says the situation became much more clear when he and his

partners “put on our farmer’s hat.”

“When we looked at the situation that way, we said to each other, ‘we’re not going to buy fertilizer. If you’re growing corn, the numbers just don’t add up,’ ” he says.

“So then at the company level, we stood back and said, ‘let’s focus on soybeans and other things that make this company money.’ ” It not only kept him from making a bad bet on fertilizer that winter but also got him thinking about how high input costs, combined with larger acreages, were forcing farmers to increase their risk-management expertise. He calls his strategy “following the dollars.”

For example, Agrocentre Belcan has implemented an “all sales final” policy when it comes to fertilizer orders since that tumultuous winter three years ago.

Haney says farmers aren’t exactly pleased to have to shoulder even more risk, but they’ve learned to deal with it.

“When they call about fertilizer pricing and want to close, then I know they’ve locked in their (crop) pricing for next year,” he says.

“They know their numbers and their profit point, and they’re using the internet to their advantage. So yeah, I’ve got lots of sources of information.

But I look at the top growers, and you can see they’re getting more adept at this all the time. They’re becoming a

key source of information for us. And why not? After all, they’re the ones who are going to eventually scratch the cheque.”

Haney isn’t suggesting his customers are infallible. He still gets calls from producers reacting to wild rumours, and many still choose to gamble, putting off decisions in the hope markets will be more favourable next week.

But it’s getting harder for either of those groups to survive. With spring seeding costs increasingly measured in six-figure increments, rolling the dice is far too risky.

So Haney manages his risk by tapping into a group of people who can’t afford to gamble, and therefore work hard at lessening risk. They know their cost of production. They watch the markets like hawks. They act when the numbers make sense.

And because Haney is willing to share his insights, they’re willing to share theirs.

It’s an opportunity open to every far mer, even smaller growers.

Knowledgeable neighbours or folks you know through farm organizations could be one of your best riskmanagement tools.

He attributed the unsuccessful restructuring to the industry’s focus on Glencore’s takeover of Viterra and the fact that mustard acres are largely concentrated in southwestern Saskatchewan.

“There was lots of interest from the finance community and from our industry and outside our industry in the grain sector,” Halpenny said, but that didn’t translate into interest in investing.

A $250,000 loan from Granosa AG of Switzerland to help fund ongoing operations during the restructuring was “independent of any involvement they might have going forward,” said Halpenny.

Granosa, trustee Ernst & Young and law firm MacPherson Leslie & Tyer man are pr ior ity secured creditors. It’s possible that interested parties are waiting until MCI goes to a receiver in the hope of picking it up for a better price, Halpenny said.

“It’s not uncommon for these things to get resolved in the last minute,” he added.

The company’s 18 employees have been given notice of the May 4 closure.

Meanwhile, farmers who delivered to MCI before Feb. 1 were paid in full through the Canadian Grain Commission’s producer payment program. MCI hasn’t been licensed since that time.

Halpenny also said the company appreciated the strong support of farmers and the customers who remained with it.

Little Path Farm | Subsistence living in a 10 by 12 foot prospector’s tent subject of Manitoba film

BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

BY BARRY WILSON

Most people who begin farming don’t live in a prospector’s tent beside an acre of vegetables.

But that’s how Wes Huyghe started in 2010, living for two growing seasons in the 10 by 12 foot structure without power and running water, w h i l e w a s h i n g i n Ma n i t o b a’s Minnedosa Lake.

“That’s something that not everybody is going to be willing to do,” said Huyghe.

“Lucky for me, I don’t mind being dirty and I’ve always loved and enjoyed living in the bush.… My interest was in starting from scratch and doing it all on my own. It was probably a romantic and naive idea in a lot of ways.”

The beginnings of Huyghe’s Little Path Farm are documented in the film To Make a Farm.

Viewers watch as two acres of ground are broken on Huyghe’s land and the rookie farmer embarks on his first growing season, making mistakes, running low on capital and eventually taking his produce to market.

“I didn’t want to make it look like a rosy sort of career path,” said Reginabased director Steve Suderman.

“I didn’t want to make it look like something that was impossible. I just wanted to be as true as I could to what they were going through.”

The film’s other subjects, two young couples in Ontario, operate more conventionally in as far as they live indoors. But they’re all young farmers who weren’t raised around agriculture and are in the early stages of starting small-scale farms, growing vegetables, raising poultry and livestock and selling directly to their customers.

Unlike his subjects, Suderman has that background. His first film, Over Land, examined his family as it confronted issues of modern agriculture and economies of scale and eventually sold their Manitoba farm.

He revisits these themes in his latest project and expresses strong opinions about industrial agriculture.

While he laments the growth of large farms and the spread of genetically modified seeds, his film isn’t overly political or negative.

“I was used to people leaving the farm. It was surprising to see people, especially without a farming background, were becoming farmers,” said Suderman.

“I wondered if it was actually possible at first because it’s a lot to learn.”

Their experiences, as documented in the film, are likely familiar to anyone who has gambled their liveli-

hood on seeds and soil. They struggle with water and irrigation, disease, soil deficiencies, weather and how to make their operation not only sustainable but also economical.

“These guys really want to farm, so they’re willing to go through a lot of hardship to do it and it looks like, at least for a portion of them, that it’s economically viable as well as a business,” said Suderman.

Now at the start of his third growing season, Huyghe’s business has expanded. While studying horticulture through the University of Manitoba, he’s added infrastructure on his farm, moving into a small cabin where he’ll stay through November and spreading out into the rest of his two acres, where he will grow asparagus, beats, potatoes and onions this year.

“You learn a lot of lessons in the first two years,” he said.

“This third year going in, I feel more confident than ever. The fact that I’m planting in April and the ground is ready to go says a lot about where I’ve gotten to.”

The CWB says a late April trade trip to Morocco by agriculture minister Gerry Ritz could help Canada maintain its dominant position in the Moroccan durum market.

During an April 26 conference call from Morocco, Ritz announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding to improve agricultural cooperation between the two countries.

Canada and the North African country are also in the midst of negotiating a free trade agreement.

Prairie durum exporters would be the main beneficiaries.

Last year, the CWB sold almost 600,000 tonnes of durum to Morocco, worth $175 million out of total agricultural sales from Canada of $188 million.

CWB president Ian White said in a news release that a Morocco-U.S. free trade deal now being implemented will give the U.S. an advantage if Canada does not negotiate its own deal.

“A free trade agreement is crucial to ensuring that Canada’s dominant position in the Moroccan market is not eroded,” said White.

Canada supplied 80 percent of Morocco’s durum imports last year. It was the CWB’s second largest durum market.

The next round of free trade talks are in Canada in June, and Ritz said he invited his Moroccan hosts to attend.

Ritz took Elwin Hermanson, chief commissioner of the Canadian Grain Commission, and Earl Geddes of the Canadian International Grains Institute with him on the trip. They also visited Saudi Arabia, where the focus was greater beef and cattle access to a market that already buys more than $300 million in food products from Canada.

Ritz said his mission in Morocco was to solidify Canada’s durum advantage in the wake of the demise of the CWB single desk and to promote expanding other Canadian exports.

“I delivered the message that our valued Moroccan customers can be assured of a stable supply of top quality wheat under the newly reinvigorated open market,” he said.

“At the same time, the Moroccan agricultural and food market is growing and diversifying, offering new sales opportunities for Canadian farmers. Moroccan farmers are looking for world class Canadian genetics and agricultural innovations to strengthen their industry on the ground here.”

Gun registry dead despite Quebec setback: feds Moratorium still in place in Quebec | Fight revolves around Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan to destroy data collected in the province

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Despite a Quebec court order that the long-gun registry data bank must remain in place for the province into the summer, Ottawa insists that the federal registry is dead. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s abolished outside of Quebec,â&#x20AC;? said Manitoba MP Candice Hoeppner, parliamentary secretary to public safety minister Vic Toews. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t start to destroy the information, and inside Quebec the registry continues to be law, but outside of Quebec, there is now no requirement to register an unrestricted firearm.â&#x20AC;?

Bill C-19 to end the registry was approved by Parliament and signed into law April 5.

It ends the registry established in 1995 and calls for destruction of all the registry data.

The Quebec government wants to create its own registry and immediately went to Quebec Superior Court to appeal for a moratorium on destroying the Quebec data until a full hearing is held in June.

Judge Marc-AndrĂŠ Blanchard agreed to the request and imposed a moratorium on data destruction until the case is heard in the summer.

The Quebec court judgment created confusion about the status of the Conservative drive to kill the registry and the database, while keeping in place rules requiring acquisition certificates, firearms safety course obligations and safe storage rules for

firearms.

Ottawa will argue in June that the database is the essence of the gun registry, and while Quebec has the constitutional right to create its own registry, the data collected for the past 17 years in the federal registry is

outdated and subject to federal control.

Meanwhile, northwestern Ontario New Democratic Party MP Bruce Hyer, who campaigned against the registry and broke party ranks in Parliament to vote to end it, left the NDP

caucus last week to sit as an independent MP. The Thunder Bay-Superior North MP said the registry and new leader Thomas Mulcairâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vow to reinstate it if elected prime minister helped trigger his defection.

FOOD | HUNGER EFFORTS

World makes strides in food security

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Amid continuing food crises and hunger around the world last year, there were also signs of food policy improvements, says a respected Washington-based food research institute.

In an annual global food policy report, the International Food Policy Research Institute said last week that the food and humanitarian calamity in the Horn of Africa, made worse by high food prices early in 2011, illustrates ongoing food problems.

As well, the institute said industrialized nations still invest in a growing biofuel industry that diverts land from food production.

However, there were also positive developments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After many years of neglect, agriculture and food security are back on the development and political agendas,â&#x20AC;? it said in the report.

Among the hopeful signs cited by the report were:

â&#x20AC;˘ the decision by 20 African countries to approve national agriculture and food security plans that commit to spending 10 percent of their national budgets on agriculture â&#x20AC;˘ a continuing commitment from the United States Agency for International Development to fund a food development program â&#x20AC;˘ a decision by the World Bank to maintain its financial commitment to agriculture and food sectors at $6 billion US annually â&#x20AC;˘ increased charitable organization donations, including agricultural support spending by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in subSaharan Africa and South Asia â&#x20AC;˘ A decision by Southeast Asian countries, including China, Japan and South Korea, to create an emergency rice reserve last year â&#x20AC;&#x153;to help ensure long-term food security in the regionâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ a first-time meeting of G20 agriculture ministers during a period of rising food prices, where they

agreed to work jointly â&#x20AC;&#x153;to tackle food price volatility and food insecurityâ&#x20AC;?

The institute argued that the change noted last year was not simply a matter of individual and national decisions but a change in attitude. â&#x20AC;&#x153;More broadly, agriculture was increasingly seen as part of a larger context,â&#x20AC;? it said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is becoming clear that agriculture contributes not just to food production but also to human nutrition and health, conditions that in turn can affect agricultural productivity and overall economic growth.â&#x20AC;?

Still, despite what it saw as optimistic signs, the institute noted that food crises continue to unfold and the number of malnourished remains stubbornly close to one billion people.

CHECKOFFS | WHEAT, BARLEY

Research group eager for info on check-off plan Collection method | WGRF hasn’t heard details of who will collect wheat and barley checkoffs

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The Western Grains Research Foundation is waiting to learn how its levies on wheat and barley will be collected after Aug. 1.

WGRF chair Dave Sefton said Ottawa has assured the foundation that an alternative collection mechanism will be in place by the end of the 201112 crop year.

But with less than three months remaining, details of the new collection system have yet to be released.

“The collection mechanism hasn’t really been made public at this point,” Sefton said last week.

“They (Ottawa) … have assured us that it will be there to start collecting on Aug. 1 but we really only have two or three months left to put all of the pieces in place. Time is getting of the essence.”

The CWB had previously deducted

wheat and barley levies from producers’ grain payments.

However, the CWB won’t have a monopoly on wheat and barley sales after Aug. 1. That means other grain companies will be involved in the collection process.

Sefton said tight timelines are becoming a concern.

“I’m sure that (Ottawa) is working behind the scenes and I’m sure that things are happening, but until (details) are made pubic, we really have to leave it in their hands,” he said. “What we can’t afford is to have a hiccup in the funding for cereal research because it’s a long-term process and you can’t just stop it, start it.”

It is possible that an existing organization such as Levy Central could become involved in the new collection process.

This program, which is managed by the Agriculture Council of Saskatch-

The grain industry continues to wait for the federal government to announce how barley and wheat checkoffs will be collected after Aug. 1, when the CWB loses its monopoly over those crops. | FILE PHOTO ewan, provides levy collection services for 10 commodity organizations in Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Alberta.

Laurie Dmytryshyn, executive director at ACS, said Levy Central would be prepared to collect wheat and barley checkoffs if the opportunity arises.

“We’re definitely interested in the wheat and barley checkoff,” she said.

“We have done some different planning scenarios.… We’re definitely working on it and we’ve got

plans in place should the prescribed agency end up contracting with us.”

Patrick Girard, a spokesperson with Agriculture Canada, offered no new details on the levy collection process when contacted by The Western Producer.

According to a December 2011 document posted on the department’s website, “details of the checkoff, including the mechanism for opting out, the mechanisms for control of the funds and reporting re-

quirements, will be developed in the regulatory process in consultation with industr y over the coming months.

“The government agrees … that the research and market development activities being carried out by the Western Grains Research Foundation, the Canadian International Grains Institute and the Canadian Malting Barley Technical Centre are vital for the western Canadian grain value chain and these activities should continue.”

CNH GLOBAL | FINANCIAL RESULTS

AGRICULTURE RESEARCH | PRIVATE, CORPORATE INVESTMENT

Jump in farm equipment sales sees CNH exceed expectations CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — CNH Global NV has posted quarterly results that blew past analysts’ estimates as strong prices for wheat, corn and other commodities encouraged farmers in North America to buy farm equipment.

The farm and construction equipment maker’s earnings per share soared to $1.11 compared to analysts’ expectation of 74 cents.

CNH Global, the world’s second largest maker of farm equipment after Deere & Co., said sales of agriculture equipment jumped 18 percent during the first quarter.

The company is a subsidiary of Fiat Industrial SpA.

NEWS

It maintained its full-year forecast of a five percent revenue growth despite a 22 percent jump in first quarter sales.

Talks about a possible merger with parent Fiat Industrial have intensified over the past several weeks.

Fiat Industrial chair Sergio Marchionne said earlier this month that he would assess buying out the remaining stake in CNH, adding “technically we don’t need two listed companies.”

Rival Agco Corp. expressed interest in buying CNH last year, but Marchionne said he had no intentions to sell the Italian engineering group’s almost 90 percent stake in CNH.

U.S. consumer group urges research for ‘public good’ Gov’t funding needed | Study says private donors influence research outcomes CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — The next U.S. farm bill needs to take a hard look at corporate links to agricultural research programs, says a consumer rights group.

“In the absence of federal funding for good research, you have the private sector having an increasing role in funding the research at public universities,” said Tim Schwab, lead researcher on the study by Food and

Water Watch, a consumer food advocacy group funded by private individuals and foundations.

“That ends up steering the direction of the research toward the interest of the private funders rather than the public good.”

Research to discover new seeds, crop varieties and farming practices to boost food production has been conducted at public land grant uni-

versities since their creation in 1862.

Most of the research funds came from state and federal governments until the 1980s, when federal policies during former president Ronald Reagan’s administration encouraged universities to partner with the private sector.

Industry funding of agricultural research had surpassed U.S. Department of Agriculture funding at land grant universities by the early 1990s, the study said.

In 2009, corporations, trade associations and foundations invested $822 million in agricultural research at land grant schools, compared with $645 million from the USDA, the study said.

“Agricultural research priorities can be refocused through the farm bill, which reauthorizes farm policy every five years, including providing much of USDA’s research funding to land grant universities,” the study said.

“The next farm bill’s research title should replenish USDA’s research coffers and direct funding toward research that promotes the public good, not private interests.”

The report comes as U.S. legislators write the 2012 farm bill, which is expected to cut billions out of the program over a 10-year period. The current farm bill expires Sept. 30.

The land grant university system includes some of the largest state universities, including Pennsylvania State University, Purdue, Iowa State University, University of California, University of Illinois and Texas A & M. The study said private donors “can and do influence the outcomes of research to meet their business needs.”

The report cited evidence of university scientists being pressured by funding sources to change the design, methodology or results of studies. It also cited a 2005 survey of scientists that reported private funding arrangements had restricted open communication among researchers.

“I also think there is a conversation to be had about some of the patent issues, especially with seeds,” said Patty Lover, assistant director of Food and Water Watch.

“These university-industry partnerships were expected to generate income for cash-strapped schools through licensing and patent earnings. In practice, corporate sponsors have captured most of the gains,” the study said.

It also recommended universities be more transparent about funding sources and that agricultural research journals be more rigorous in establishing conflict-of-interest standards.

FOOD MANUFACTURING | BABY FOOD

Mom convinces Wal-Mart to carry gourmet baby food Centennial Column

Target audience | Food developer heads to where moms shop

Celebrating 100 years of students at the College of Agriculture and Bioresources. The Centennial Column is a weekly feature highlighting the history and present successes of the college.

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Call her a mompreneur or just plain market savvy, but Jennifer Carlson Broe has steered a tasty idea from her kitchen to Wal-Mart.

As a young mother, she was disappointed in the blandness of commercial baby food.

“I would never eat this myself and how could I, in good conscience, feed this to my daughter,” she said as she described her success at the recent Alberta Agriculture and Food Council meeting in Calgary.

Her response to this dilemma was to make her own baby food using fresh, organic products that not only taste good to babies but adults as well.

The rise of Baby Gourmet Inc. is the kind of story investors love to hear.

The mother of two started working with her sister, Jill Vos, to develop tasty recipes. Their first product was a frozen baby food sold at the Calgary Farmers’ Market. After two years at the market, they were selling $30,000 worth of product per month.

Broe wanted to go bigger. Against the advice of those who suggested she start with smaller outlets, she went after one of the world’s largest corporations, Wal-Mart, because, she reasoned, that is where many mothers shop.

Since last September her product line has been available at Wal-Marts across North America.

It was not an overnight sensation.

Her research found that there had been no real innovation in the baby food market in 50 years. She wanted to offer a convenient, reasonably priced product that tasted good and maybe upset the status quo.

“The key for me was there was an opportunity for disruption.”

She worked with Alberta Agriculture’s food processing development centre at Leduc, where she learned how to scale up and package her 12 recipes.

Her new product came out in a flexible plastic pouch where a teaspoonful or more can be squeezed out. As babies get older, they can feed themselves straight from the pouch.

She learned to write a business plan that included marketing and financial proposals to support growth of her company. She joined associations with which to network.

The financial help came from personal funds, Alberta’s venture capital funder, AVAC, the Business Development Bank of Canada and government money through Growing Forward. She now employs 16 people and her chief executive officer is an investor.

Broe said she was nervous when she met with Wal-Mart, but said the baby food sold itself once she convinced company representatives to taste her product.

“My sister and I taste every product before it goes into production.”

Jennifer Carlson Broe is the founder of Baby Gourmet Inc., an innovative baby food company in Alberta that has become a multinational company. | BARBARA DUCKWORTH PHOTO Last July, she received the Ernst and Young Emerging Entrepreneur of the Year award for the Prairies.

Marketing consultant Karen Hope said Broe did everything right.

Hope, who is president of Marketing Edge, learned food marketing the hard way when she joined a partner to sell Cattle Boyz BBQ Sauces.

She met the creators of the product in 1993 when she was marketing manager at Eau Claire Market in Calgary, where the sauce was sold from a kiosk.

The partners wanted to take the product to the next level, and their first big break was selling it as an Alberta made product on the Shopping Channel and then to Costco.

She left the company two years ago and works full time as a market consultant guiding other would-be entrepreneurs through the pitfalls when launching a new product.

The first step is to offer a product that is new and interesting to consumers.

“A remarkable product will get people talking about it after the first purchase,” she said.

Social media can spread the word even faster because it is like having a storefront to the world.

There are hard lessons for those who want to break into the big time.

“No one wants to pioneer new products. Everybody can live without one more new product,” she said.

It is all about presentation.

The product has to be eye catching to convince a shopper to pick it off the shelf within 10 seconds. Packaging promotes value and may make a difference when encouraging a shopper to spend $5.99 rather than $1.99.

The average store offers 40,000 products and the average home probably buys 150.

A new product has to be better than

current brands, offer more value, be different with no competitors or take advantage of a growing category mix such as gluten free or ethnic food.

Once a retailer is willing to stock the product, the manufacturer must be able to produce sufficient volume and have enough money to cover costs. Finding the money is a big challenge.

Government offers some funds through programs such as Growing Forward, but the producer has to be willing to make personal sacrifices to raise money. That could mean mortgaging a home to get a line of credit, putting up personal savings or getting family loans.

When asked how much money is needed, she replied, “the more the better.”

Companies are often held back when they don’t have the money to increase production or pay unexpected fees.

“People often don’t understand where the money gets gobbled up.”

Fees are paid for listing the product in the store, paying brokers and distributors and covering promotion costs and other retailer charges.

Another problem is a lack of marketing and sales skills. Many manufacturers are unwilling to hire a professional who understands the difference between promotion and sales.

Marketing is communicating to the consumer about the product while sales involve the exchange of goods for an agreed amount of money.

Promotions include in-store demonstrations, discounts, regionalized marketing, niche marketing, award entries and attending trade shows.

It is important to meet people who have clout and can reach buyers.

“When you get a broker on side, it is easier to get into stores,” she said.

In 1910, the University of Saskatchewan allocated 1040 acres to the College of Agriculture for a university farm. By the late 1960’s it had become apparent that additional facilities, staff and research lands were required if the college was to remain competitive and relevant in the changing agricultural landscape.

However, land costs in the proximity of the university were on the rise and were sought after by developers for urban expansion.

In 1977, Fredrick Wesley Kernen, a local area farmer and former employee and graduate of the College of Agriculture made an offer to the university that was the largest gift ever by an individual at that time. To honour his parents, the late Frederick J. and Lucy Kernen, Mr. Kernen offered to gift two sections of prime agricultural land to the university, with full jurisdiction to operate on the lands. Included in the gift were 300 acres of native prairie land, which were to remain un-tilled and be used for ecological research. At the time of the acquisition, the land was valued at $1000/acre for a total value of over $1.25 million. It would have been impossible for the university to purchase a more suitably located research farm.

At the time of acquisition the farm had only two buildings, a metal implement shed and a large barn built in 1912 to accommodate a horse breeding enterprise. Except for the half section of native prairie, all of the land was under cultivation and planted mostly in alfalfa. To work towards establishing a major crop research station a new yard site was designed. The station’s 380 hectares of cultivated land is adequate to provide for commercial production and small plot experiments.

Today officially referred to as The Kernen Crop Research Farm, the site is located at the intersections of Highways 5 and 41 on the quickly expanding east side of Saskatoon. The long-term objective in developing the Kernen Crop Research Farm was to establish a first class crop and ecology research unit at the University of Saskatchewan, which has now been achieved.

Over the last 35 years, the site has accommodated ecological studies, grazing studies, crop breeding, crop production and crop and weed management research in the Department of Plant Sciences. Managed on a four-year crop rotation, the cultivated area of the farm also generates revenue, which helps support the cost of crop research and future development on the farm. www.agbio.usask.ca
