Sow stall ban issue dominates discussion at World Pork Expo BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

DES MOINES, Iowa — There was a lot of defiance and defensiveness about sow stalls at this year’s World Pork Expo. “We’re tired of these announcements that have been made (by restaurant and grocery chains) simply as a get-out-of-jail card that really have no meaning or anything behind them,” U.S. National Pork Producers Council vice- president Dallas Hockman said at the opening news conference of the World Pork Expo. “We feel it’s time for discussion and dialogue and understanding more the complexity of this issue.” However, there are many signs under the surface that the U.S. hog i n d u s t r y i s a l re a d y m ov i n g t o embrace open housing for gestating sows. The decision of many producers to move toward open housing can be seen on farms across the United States and even on the floor of the World Pork Expo.

FOOD SAFETY | LEGISLATION

Safe Food for Canadians Act | New bill will consolidate existing bills, give new powers to ag minister BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

The federal government is proposing the most significant food inspection and safety reforms since the Canadian Food Inspection Agency was created 15 years ago. On June 7, the Safe Food for Canadians Act was introduced in the Senate and debate began June 12, with Manitoba Conservative Don Plett leading off. Debate will be interrupted by the summer parliamentary recess in late June and then picked up in the fall when Parliament resumes. Approval of the bill is not likely at least until winter. Bill S-11 will consolidate four existing food inspection bills into one,

I am particularly pleased that under the act, imported foods will be required to meet the same high standards that Canadian producers and processors now meet. MARTIN UNRAU PRESIDENT, CANADIAN CATTLEMEN’S ASSOC.

give the agriculture minister the authority to impose regulations that enforce national traceability systems if necessary and give food inspectors more powers to demand documents from food companies and to obtain

warrants for premise searches. The bill will also impose new restrictions on food importers, including the need for a licence. It would also sharply increase fines for companies that violate food safety rules or people who deliberately tamper with food in stores, raising the potential fines from $250,000 to $5 million or higher. “Clear consistent rules for our inspectors and industry overall will ultimately make food safer for all Canadians,” agriculture minister Gerry Ritz told a June 7 Ottawa news conference. “And when the law isn’t followed and the safety of the food our families eat is put at risk, the new act will allow tougher fines and penalties to be imposed.” Food industry reaction was over-

whelmingly positive. Canadian Cattlemen’s Association president Martin Unrau from Manitoba offered a typical reaction. He said the promise of tougher traceability rules is welcome, as well as a promise that they will apply to imports as well as domestically produced products. “I am particularly pleased that under the act, imported foods will be required to meet the same high standards that Canadian producers and processors now meet,” he said in a CCA statement. Canadian Federation of Agriculture president Ron Bonnett also praised the legislative proposals and the streamlining of food safety rules. SEE SAFE FOOD ACT COMING, PAGE 2

Safe Food Act coming He said the commitment to stronger traceability rules is welcome, but he also wanted farmers protected from a situation where they must abide by a federal standard as well as additional requirements imposed by retail chains with tremendous market power. “We’ve got to talk about long-term food safety rules and not short-term marketing strategies,” Bonnett said from his Ontario farm. Bob Kingston, president of the agriculture union that represents federal food inspectors, said the legislation has good points but the number of inspectors must be doubled to do what is required. Opposition agriculture critic and NDP MP Malcolm Allen said the bill will be challenged in the House of Commons next autumn once it is approved in the Senate. He said increasing the CFIA’s emphasis on overseeing the food safety efforts of companies could compromise the system. He saw it as a privatization of food inspection. “This is supposed to be about being safer and I don’t see that,” said Allen.

The legislation would also give food companies a legislated right to appeal CFIA decisions. Health minister Leona Aglukkaq told the June 7 news conference that this is the first major food safety law update in half a century. “We want to speed up the approval process for foods and ingredients that are proven to be safe,” she said. “We also want to be able to respond faster when new science tells us there may be a safety concern.” Ritz said the bill represents the last piece of implementing the 57 recommendations of Linda Weatherill’s report, who was appointed to head an inquiry into food safety rules after a listeria outbreak in 2008 killed 22 Canadians. She recommended an overhaul of food safety legislation and rules. Ritz said the government has invested hundreds of millions of dollars to strengthen the system and hire new inspectors since Weatherill’s report.

A proposed expansion will see fertilizer manufacturer Yara double production at its facility near Belle Plaine, Sask., and bring a new product to the Canadian market, says a company official. Yara announced June 11 that its board has approved a project that will produce an additional 1.3 millions tonnes of urea annually. It will double the output at Belle Plaine and require a second production train and new facility, said Michael Schlaug, president and plant manager of Yara Belle Plaine. Schlaug pegged current production at the plant at 1.1 million tonnes. The company produces 20 million tonnes of fertilizer globally and has set a goal of adding eight million tonnes of finished fertilizer to its current production. The expansion is still pending agreements with provincial authorities and an engineering procurement and construction contract. “We need to conclude this contract before we are able to come up with a clear price tag,” said Schlaug.

Project can produce extra 1.3 million tonnes of urea BY DAN YATES

He said the construction project could employ 1,000 to 1,500 people at its peak. Once in production, 50 to 100 new workers will be required to man the new production train, adding to the almost 150 people now working at the plant. Yara expects the plant to begin production in the second half of 2016. Construction remains down the road and won’t get into full swing for at least two more years. “Four years for a project of that size is ambitious, but we’re sure that we can reach it,” said Schlaug. Included in the expansion is an integrated world scale ammonia and urea line, as well as a new line of urea with sulfur. Yara already produces the product in Europe and Schlaug said it will now market it to Canadian canola producers. “We have to show that this is going to really help and improve the yields at the end of the day because that’s what the farmer wants,” he said. Yara also announced its intention to add 300,000 tonnes at its Porsgrunn facility in Norway.

Industry wants debate on sow stalls

Jason Field looks for a defective nozzle in a field at Gruenthal, Sask., June 7. |

WILLIAM DEKAY PHOTO

With Canada’s hog industry heavily reliant on the U.S. industry, and Manitoba’s intimately connected, whatever occurs on this issue will have a direct impact in Canada. A survey compiled by University of Missouri hog industry expert Ron Plain and released at the beginning of the expo found that 17 percent of U.S. hog production is already using open housing systems. It is expected to grow by one-third to 23 percent in two years. That proportion of the industry is “slightly higher than we anticipated,” Hockman conceded, but he cautioned that issues such as supply, segregation, labelling, productivity and finances need to be addressed before American hog farmers will happily embrace a switch. “This is a very complex issue that we are dealing with and we feel it is necessary to bring forth both factual discussions and most importantly to deal with a dialogue about the impact that those are going to have,” said Hockman. The sow stall issue is of critical importance to the Manitoba hog industry because it has a much higher proportion of sow barns than the rest of Canada and more than most parts of the U.S. Most of the piglets from Manitoba barns are sold to U.S. hog feeders, mostly in Minnesota and Iowa, so restrictions on pigs originating in stall barns could have a major impact. The impact could also be significant for pigs fed to slaughter weight in Canada but exported to U.S. slaughter plants. Some companies, such as Maple Leaf, have been converting their own barns and announcing longterm plans to move toward open housing systems to provide the pigs they process. Manitoba’s hog industr y has announced what is effectively a moratorium on stall barn construction, saying it hopes to make the entire provincial hog industry gestation stall-free by 2025. Pork industry representatives at the

expo denounced claims of activist groups that sow stalls are cruel or inhumane. A full house of hog producers and industry players enjoyed hearing University of Illinois animal welfare scientist Janeen Salak-Johnson defend the present sow stall system as the most humane system by scientific standards. She also called for producers and the industry to speak up in defence of the sow stall system and not give into pressure from activist groups or intimidated food companies. “The issue that you’re fighting is not about well-being,” said Salak-Johnson. “ No t o n e i nt ro d u c e d s y s t e m improves the animal’s well-being.” However, she said farmers and the pork industry suffer from a “legitimacy gap” and added that “we have to reclaim our legitimacy.” In an interview following his comments at the press conference, Hockman said farmers are still building barns using the common sow stall system, but many are designed to be convertible to open housing systems. At the expo’s trade show, the controversy over sow stalls seemed to have changed the roster of sow system exhibitors. There were far fewer displays and providers of traditional sow stall systems than in recent years, but a number of manufacturers and distributors of stall-free and open access systems were present and getting attention from farmers. Plain said that the 17 percent of U.S. sows in his survey who live in open housing were generally not in units that were 100 percent open housing. Many are from mixed operations that might be converting, experimenting or using open housing for some elements of gestation and breeding. “It’s clear a number of these farms are probably trying to learn what the costs and management requirements are for open pen gestation,” said Plain.

HONOURING OUR OWN | CANADIAN AGRICULTURAL HALL OF FAME

WP reporter to be inducted into ag hall of fame Distinguished career | Ottawa correspondent Barry Wilson recognized for outstanding journalistic contributions BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

The Canadian Agricultural Hall of Fame will induct Western Producer reporter Barry Wilson to its ranks this year. He will join a list of men and women who have been major contributors to the agricultural industry. Wilson’s induction, along with dairy farmer and master Chairbois breeder Bertrand Boisclair and AdFarm founder and communicator Kim McConnell, was announced June 11. The three men will be officially inducted at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair this November in Toronto. Wilson, the Producer’s Ottawa bureau chief, has been with the newspaper for 34 years, 32 of them in Ottawa. In that time he has provided

the weekly newspaper, which itself will celebrate its 90th year of publication in 2013. “Mr. Wilson’s work has taken him through every Canadian province and to many different international destinations,” said the Hall of Fame announcement. “Barry has covered national and provincial agricultural policies, farm group dynamics, international trade and world food issues. His work has ensured that farmers and ranchers are provided with fair and honest reporting on issues and policies that will affect them, their agricultural operations and their families.” Western Producer editor Joanne Paulson said the honour is well deserved. “There is no better journalist than Barry Wilson, covering agriculture or any other field of endeavour. His

knowledge, experience, objectivity and humility are cornerstones of his reportage and commentary. I am honoured to know him, and we are privileged to have him at The Western Producer. I’m delighted that the Hall of Fame has welcomed him as an inductee.” Wilson was humble about the recognition. “I haven’t invented canola. I wasn’t a minister of agriculture. I did a job that the Producer gave me the tools to do,” he said. The Quebec-born Wilson joins the late Cora Hind (1861-1942), an agricultural reporter who wrote for the Manitoba Free Press, as the only journalists in the hall of fame. He sees his induction as recognition of the importance of accurate information in the modern age of Canadian agriculture.

“Since 1960, there hasn’t been a sense that agricultural information and journalism is really part of the industry,” said Wilson. “I’m hoping this is a sign that that has changed a bit and that the folks who run these honours have come to understand that information is as much a part of agriculture as knowing how to plant a crop or calve in the spring. It’s all part of the business.” Various agricultural organizations and politicians supported Wilson’s nomination. “Anyone that has achieved a better understanding of Canadian agriculture, more knowledge of the what, where, why and who, will undoubtedly owe a large part of that to Barry Wilson,” said former Canadian Federation of Agriculture president Bob Friesen, in a letter to the Hall.

LIVESTOCK | ANIMAL WELFARE

Producers told to avoid debates on morality of animal use Beef Cattle Symposium | Today’s consumers tend to view all humananimal interactions the same way they view pet ownership BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

SASKATOON — Is it right to produce animals for meat? That is the question the Canadian livestock industry must avoid if it expects to continue production, says a communications expert. “My warning to you is this: avoid inclusion of special interest or NGOs (non-government organizations) that have moralized the issue and made it an issue of right or wrong, whether using an animal for human benefit is right or wrong, because you will not be able to solve that,” said Wes Jamison. The Palm Beach Atlantic University professor told the June 6 International Symposium on Beef Cattle Welfare in Saskatoon that the animal welfare debate has become moralized in the United States, making it difficult to combat. Canadian concerns haven’t progressed to the same extent so the industry here retains the option to defend meat production. Jamison said cattle ranchers don’t often discuss the moral aspects of meat production and consumption, but they should. “We grow better animals, faster, healthier. No one’s ever asked us to defend ourselves morally, so I don’t think they’re even used to the idea,” he said in an interview. “So either they get used to the idea of defending the morality of animal

production or they lose. The other side is clearly driving the message.” In his speech, Jamison attributed changed attitudes toward animal production to five things: • Urbanization — Most people interact with animals as pets and mediate their understanding of animal treatment through pet ownership, said Jamison. • Pluralism — In today’s society, all perspectives are treated as legitimate, including views that criticize farming practices. • Worldview collapse — A common way of viewing animals has disappeared, said Jamison. For example, in North America, turkey is the traditional Thanksgiving meal, while in Laos it’s puppy. “Are you willing to impose a certain world view upon Laotian immigrants that come to your country and say, ’excuse me, eating puppy for Thanksgiving, even if its humanely euthanized, is unacceptable?’” • Reduced confidence in science — Jamison said the view that science would find solutions, a common theme in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s, has collapsed because of wars, ecological issues and complexity. “People don’t believe that you, as scientists, are going to solve the problem,” he told a crowd heavy with researchers and veterinarians.

“What we find is people are no longer trusting science per se to arbitrate animal welfare.” • Disintegration of double standard — In the past, people commonly viewed animal production as acceptable and saw animals as tools to be used for human benefit. Other animals had use as pets with different expectations about their treatment. Jamison said people no longer accept that farmers should treat food animals differently from pets. “I would argue that modern agriculture cannot exist if this trend continues, if consumers … view animals through a frame of reference as companions or companion animals,” he said. “You can’t have commercial agriculture within those parameters.” Jamison said farmers first have to know what they believe and then achieve consensus on best animal production practices. They should determine the nonnegotiable aspects of production and change the rest. After that, it’s a matter of communicating it in an astute manner. “I would argue, and this is very controversial, that you need to get away from selling the story of the farmers and sell the story of the animals and how the farmers are best positioned to take care of the animals,” he said.

A surprise contagion of aster leafhoppers in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and North Dakota has left entomologists and growers scratching their heads. Producers have spotted high populations of aster leafhoppers in cereal fields and are wondering how to respond to the pests. John Gavloski, an entomologist with Manitoba Agriculture, has been trying to answer their questions. “People are just seeing higher levels and it’s just not something they’re accustomed to seeing a lot of,” he said. Producers want to know if leafhoppers have reached high enough numbers that it is worthwhile to spray in cereal crops, but Gavloski said it’s not an easy question to answer because little research has been done on aster leafhoppers and field crops on the Prairies. Substantial populations of the insect may develop only once every 10, 15 or 20 years, he added. Aster leafhoppers are troublesome because they can transmit the disease aster yellows to oilseed and cereal crops. They aren’t a significant pest in the nor thern Plains in most years because the climate is too cold for them to over-winter. However, this year’s mild winter likely allowed more aster leafhoppers to survive. In canola, aster yellows causes leaves to turn purple and can deform pods or produce pods without seeds. In wheat, aster yellows is often confused with barley yellow dwarf. In general, the disease is more of a threat to canola, Gavloski said. In an update on aster yellows in May, the Canola Council of Canada said five to 20 percent of plants in some prairie fields were infected with the disease in 2007. A five percent infection rate correlates to a 3.5 percent loss. At a 20 percent infection the yield loss could be 20 percent. Fortunately for canola growers, aster leafhoppers prefer to feed on

cereal crops, said entomologist Janet Knodel of North Dakota State University. “They prefer the wheat and the small grains. I don’t think they will move into the canola until we start harvesting our spring wheat.” Knodel thinks spraying for leafhoppers is a waste of money. The insecticide may kill the leafhoppers in one field but a new generation of pests would soon move in from a neighbouring field or blow in from another region. “It’s not economically feasible for (growers) to be spraying every seven to 10 days,” she said. Carrot growers in Manitoba do need to spray frequently for aster leafhoppers because aster yellows can affect the vegetable’s taste and appearance. Gavloski also doesn’t support spraying field crops. “(But) I can’t go on record saying it (the impact) is not going to be economical because we just don’t have the research,” he said. Applying an insecticide would also kill beneficial insects, which may control other pests during the growing season. There isn’t much growers can do except wait to see if aster yellows develops in their crops, Knodel said. “There’s nothing they can do (to treat aster yellows). The only thing they can do is prevent the vectoring of the disease and that’s not economically feasible.” The level of aster yellows infection in aster leafhoppers can vary. The insects are more likely to transmit the disease to plants if the infection level is high. Knodel and Gavloski have sent insect samples to Agriculture Canada’s laboratory in Saskatoon to determine the level of infectivity. They expect to have results in a couple of weeks. Aster leafhoppers may soon overw inter on the nor thern Plains because of climate change, Knodel said. As a result, regional entomologists might have more opportunity in the future to study the insect.

ASTER LEAFHOPPERS 101 Aster leafhoppers are small (1/8 of an inch), wedge-shaped and green to yellow with three pairs of spots on their faces.

Leafhoppers feed on plant sap and are a vector for aster yellows, a phytoplasma disease. Disease symptoms are similar to barley yellow dwarf virus, appearing at first as yellowing or a chlorotic appearance. Leaves then turn more reddish-purple with brown edges. Aster leafhoppers do not transmit barley yellow dwarf virus, which is transmitted by cereal aphids.

CROP REPORT SPRING STORM | RECOVERY OR LOSS?

PLENTY OF POTATOES

Alberta farmers watch crops after ugly storm Hail, wind, tornadoes | Rain was needed in southern Alberta but not so hard and so fast BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

As the lightning flashed and the winds picked up at their Enchant farm, Greg Stamp and his family hunkered in the basement waiting for the storm to pass. Glenn and Marie Logan of Lomand watched the internet as radar tracked the major storm cell that came from Montana and spread across southern Alberta as far as Calgary. The June 5 storm brought 30 to 100 millimetres of rain, hail and two confirmed tornadoes: one in the Taber area at about 8:30 p.m. and two hours later another at Bow Island. While the tornados damaged buildings and uprooted trees, hail was a greater villain for farmers in the Taber, Vauxhall and Enchant areas, north and east of Lethbridge. Logan grows hybrid canola and the next day field inspections revealed an ugly sight. “If it was later in the year, damage would be 100 percent. It is pretty ugly,” he said. “Some of the early canola was starting to bolt and it is chopped up pretty bad.” He reported the damage to Alberta Hail and Crop Insurance and now is waiting to see how much of the crop recovers because the storm occurred early in the season. Greg Stamp figures there was 50 percent damage on fababeans that he seeded April 12. He also made an insurance claim and is not sure how well the crop might recover. “Usually our storms don’t come this early in the season so I don’t know what to expect,” he said. Fields of canola, dry beans and cereals were also affected to varying degrees. Fields that had been tilled were eroded and some farmers have been pumping the water off fields. Ironically, the region needed rain. “If we didn’t get that rain we would have started the pivots. Now we won’t irrigate for another week,” said Stamp. Logan said he needed rain and

received 88 mm. “It is nice to get moisture but we didn’t need it in half an hour,” he said. Further north in Vulcan county, agriculture fieldman Kelly Malmberg said much-needed moisture was received because fields were drying out. “It was a pretty good blast of moisture. It set us up for the month of June,” he said. As for regrowth, every situation is different when crops are hailed, said Lethbridge based agronomist Troy Prosofsky of the Canola Council of Canada. “It will be a function of the crop stage and the duration of the hail,” he said. Some fields could be set back two days while others may take two weeks to recover. “Canola is a very plastic plant and very resilient this time of year,” he said. If no more stressors like hot weather, diseases or insects come along, most crops should recover reasonably well. However, this early damage could cause elongated flowering periods. When something like this happens the plant sends out another branch to compensate for the stress. “It will be a tough go for some growers who had frost early in the season and now they have hail,” he said. At this time of year reseeding canola is not a good option. Research has shown southern Alberta canola yields drop by 1.8 bushels per day for every day sown after May 1. He does not believe the damage covered a wide area and so far, most fields were doing well with the expected seven to 10 plants per sq. foot. “We had a lot going for us this year. We had good warm soil and good moisture,” he said. Crops will need to be babied and farmers should start checking for insects because increasing numbers of diamondback moth larvae have been reported in the southern Prairies. These defoliate young plants.

SOIL MOISTURE | DATA COLLECTION

Soil moisture satellite on horizon A lack of information worldwide had prompted the call for a satellite BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Even though it’s a crucial aspect of crop development, Canada gathers only a minimal amount of information on soil moisture. In fact, in many regions of the world soil moisture data is scarce, says an Agriculture Canada remote sensing expert. “There’s little data available on soil moisture, if you think globally or even across Canada. There are some insitu sensors (in place)… but they’re very scattered and there are very few of them,” said Heather McNairn, an Ag Canada research scientist in Ottawa. As part of a joint effort with NASA, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and North American universities, Agriculture Canada is hoping to replace the lack of information with a volume of soil moisture data. In two years NASA expects to launch the soil moisture passive active (SMAP) satellite. It will collect information on soil moisture and temperature, which will be used to generate maps on global soil moisture, temperature and freeze-thaw conditions. But before that happens, NASA, Ag Canada and university scientists will lead a crew of 70 researchers that will spend six weeks this summer in Manitoba. They will be in Manitoba, from early June to mid-July, testing instruments and taking soil moisture

measurements around Carman and Portage la Prairie. In basic terms, the scientists want to ensure that the satellite converts microwave energy readings into accurate estimates of soil moisture. After it’s launched, the satellite will measure soil moisture by detecting the amount of microwave energy emitted from a patch of land on the earth, or it will send out a microwave signal and record how much microwave energy bounces back to the satellite. “The amount of energy that is sent back to the satellite is related to how much moisture is in the soil,” said McNairn, who explained microwaves are used because they are unaffected by cloud cover. “We get energy recorded and then we have models that relate that energy to moisture.” In Manitoba, the researchers will fly two planes equipped with instruments similar to apparatus that will be used by the satellite. As well, they have set up 50 soil moisture monitor-

ing stations in the Carman-Portage region to validate the data recorded from the plane. “We’re testing how well we’re able to measure soil moisture, based on the aircraft data,” McNairn said. The work in Manitoba is part of a global effort, as scientists in other regions of the world are conducting similar experiments. Looking past the satellite’s launch, McNairn said the soil moisture data will serve a number of purposes, including weather prediction. “A lot of the weather forecasting models, the influence of soil moisture is not well accounted for because there isn’t enough data (on soil moisture),” she said. The data will also be used to monitor drought and flooding risk, but the satellite tracks soil moisture at a scale of three to 10 kilometres. So, individual farmers in Western Canada won’t be able to evaluate the data for a particular quarter section on their farm. Regardless, the satellite soil moisture data is supposed to be publicly available, which means producers and ag organizations can use the information as they see fit. “We’re hoping that producers, or anyone who supports producers, will have public access to these soil moisture maps,” McNairn said. “That will allow them to plan some of their field operations and it will also help our department understand where there are risks.”

HOGS | MARKET OUTLOOK

Experts warn of looming hog price plunge Potential big corn crop | Herd rebuilding is helped by lower feed costs, but stronger hog prices are in question BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

DES MOINES, Iowa — Leading analysts were predicting fall corn futures prices of $4 to $5.15 during the World Pork Expo. “I think there’s a good chance of affordable corn this year,” said analyst Steve Meyer of Paragon Economics in an outlook session. He predicted likely corn prices of $4 to $4.15 per bu. this fall, down from the July futures of $5.90 as of June 11. However, he also said feed prices are only half the profitability equation in hog production. “Based (only) on those (feedgrain) numbers, I’d probably expand. Based on the numbers I’m going to give you, I don’t want you to do that.” Meyer sketched out a likely situation of weak pork demand growth, more pork coming to market and tight packer capacity, which would negate the gains from cheaper feedgrains. As well, packer capacity constraints could lower fourth quarter hog prices if problems arise. “If we get a two percent increase in productivity and a one percent growth in the breeding herd … it is going to get pretty tight,” said Meyer. “Any problem with a plant this fall or next would be a very severe problem for us to handle.” The fourth quarter of any year is a potentially dangerous period for hog producers. Pigs in the hot U.S. Midwest grow more slowly during the summer, reducing the number of animals coming to market for many weeks. However, growth rates accelerate when the weather cools and hogs begin flooding into the market. However, packing plants face more statutory holidays during the fourth quarter than in other quarters, so their overall capacity can be significantly reduced. Prices slump when too many pigs show up for too little capacity to process them. Cheaper feedgrain prices will help maintain hog margins, which is what a number of analysts were predicting. Iowa State University crop production weather expert Elwynn Taylor said Midwest crops now have a 50 percent chance of above average yields of 168 bu. per acre this year and about 50 percent chance of 164 bu. per acre. Both scenarios would produce a lot more corn than in the past two crop years. Until a few weeks ago, there was a 30 percent chance of low yields similar to the past two years, but when the La Nina weather phenomenon disappeared, so did the likelihood of lower

Weak pork demand and a healthy supply does not bode well for hog prices, says one analyst. | FILE PHOTO than trend yields. “We are now in neutral conditions,” said Taylor. However, recent hot Midwest weather is stressing corn and other analysts have lower yield outlooks.

Hog profit margins will be hard to increase this summer and fall because of soft demand and tight packer capacity. Meyer said he expects Chicago lean hog futures prices to return to the low

$90s per hundredweight this summer, but any higher is doubtful. “I thought that we would trade a decent number of $100 hogs this summer, but the lost spring rally (meant) you can’t launch nearly as

much into the summer from where we are now,” said Meyer. The stunning failure of the spring rally, which became a spring rout, has not only dashed hopes for strong profits this summer, but pushed producers into unexpected losses for weeks. The recent recovery in pig prices has allowed a $6 per pig profit to reappear, taking pressure off farmers’ bottom lines. However, it is not the year of steady profits that many needed to continue to recover from the late 2000s slump. Meyer said sow, productivity and slaughter weight numbers mean the fourth quarter of 2012 and 2013 will push packer capacity, so there will be the danger of a price slump. Canadian producers could be in a better situation, Meyer said in an interview. A number of Canadian plants have spare capacity, so they will likely still be keen to aggressively buy pigs in the fourth quarter even if American plants are full. Even with lots of pork in cold storage, packers will keep processing pigs if they can do it profitably. Lower hog prices in the fall and steady pork prices will keep packers packing.

Wet weather may take toll on lentil acres Disease threat | Strong demand could see tight supply of red lentils BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

It appears that wet weather will prevent Saskatchewan farmers from planting as many lentils as they intended. Stat Publishing has produced an estimate of lentil planting based on regional seeding progress in Saskatchewan that shows farmers have seeded 2.08 million of the 2.38 million acres of lentils they intended to plant. If no more of the crop goes in the ground, western Canadian growers will produce 1.27 million tonnes of pulses in 2012 based on average yields, down from Agriculture Canada’s forecast of 1.45 million tonnes. Marlene Boersch, a partner in Mercantile Consulting Venture, thinks total lentil supply could fall to 1.9 million tonnes, down from Agriculture Canada’s estimate of 2.27 million tonnes. The expectations for strong global demand for the crop could lead to tight supplies, especially for red lentils. Boersch is forecasting 3.25 million tonnes of world lentil production in 2012-13. It has ranged from 1.8 to 4.2 million tonnes over the last eight years. Carryout world supply is expected to be four million tonnes, which is at the upper end of the range over that same time frame. Any potential price rally will likely be centred around what happens to the Canadian crop.

“It really all depends on our production and if you start taking away now from the acres, it’s the first sign that we shouldn’t be quite as relaxed as we really are right now,” said Boersch. Another red flag for the Canadian crop is World Weather Inc.’s forecast for continued wet and mild weather throughout the summer, exacerbated by the possible development of an

Frost hits Pakistan pulses; weak rupee hampers imports BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A pulse crop disaster in Pakistan and a disappointing Indian lentil harvest have set the stage for strong lentil demand prospects out of the Indian subcontinent. A story that ran in the Pakistan Observer said 80 percent of the country’s winter pulse crop was destroyed by cold weather. Another article published in the Business Recorder said the production of chickpeas has declined by 50 percent in Pakistan compared to last year because of excessive winter frost. Marlene Boersch, a partner in Mercantile Consulting Venture, doesn’t know what percent to attach to the decline in Pakistan’s production, but there is definitely an emerging supply issue in a country that typically grows 3.7 million acres of pulses. “We know that they have serious problems. We tend to look at the major grains like wheat to see how big the problems are and they’re pretty substantial,” she said. Pakistan is usually one of the top importers of Canadian chickpeas and a top 10 buyer of Canadian lentils. It has recently ratcheted up the pace of imports of both those crops. “There seems to be a lot of truth about the doom stories from that

Pakistan and India need to import pulses but their currencies have hit record lows. | REUTERS PHOTO origin,” said Boersch. She has contacts in Pakistan who say substantial flooding contributed to the crop damage, and the government has done little to address the structural problems that led to the flooding. “They’re very afraid that this is begg i n g f o r a n o t h e r re p e at,” s a i d Boersch. India also appears to be short red lentils based on its recent buying activity. “We’ve seen that pick up in the last little while,” she said. However, there is some doubt whether Indian buyers will be able to pay for what they’ve ordered because of the crumbling rupee.

Export Development Canada said the Indian rupee is at the weakest point compared to the U.S. dollar in the last 30 years. India has had a tough time attracting European capital and managing the growth of its economy. “Some of the shine has come off of the Indian market for international investors,” said Peter Hall, chief economist of EDC. Boersch recalls what happened last year when the rupee depreciated. Indian buyers were ill equipped to hedge against currency fluctuations and some walked away from cargoes of imported pulses or attempted to renegotiate the terms upon arrival. So exporters view the recent Indian

buying spree cautiously. “While people were quite delighted with the level of forward sales (to India), it’s really too early to count your ducks,” said Boersch. Hall said pulses are a food staple in India and will need to be imported regardless of what happens to the rupee. He doubts Indian buyers will continue defaulting on contracts. “There are different ways of getting market power and that’s one of them, but you can’t get away with that game forever,” he said. “It’s a very dangerous game to play and I don’t think it’s one you can get away with more than once or twice before markets start to shy away from you.” Boersch said two other Canadian issues could factor into pulse markets this fall. She originally thought special crops would lose some of their cash crop luster under an open market. However, unless grain companies become more proactive in fixing the terms of wheat contracts, canola and peas will continue to be the best crops for providing post-harvest cash flow. Boersch is also curious to see if Glencore and Richardson International will be as active in pea marketing as Viterra was. She believes Richardson president Curt Vossen is “not in love” with the special crops business.

BRUSSELS, Belgium (Reuters) — Tiny amounts of unapproved GMOs will be permitted in food imports to the European Union under draft rules that the bloc’s executive is expected to propose shortly. Exporters and European producers say the rules are needed to avoid disruptions to food imports because global supply chains are making it increasingly difficult to guarantee that cargoes bound for Europe are free of GMOs not yet approved in the bloc. “The European Commission has said it wants to tackle this issue before the end of this year, and we will table a proposal in the very near future,” said Frederic Vincent, commission spokesman for health and consumers. The draft rules are likely to be proposed before the European summer break to allow enough time for EU governments and lawmakers to approve them by the end of the year, said another official. Last year, the bloc approved a similar law allowing up to 0.1 percent of unapproved genetically modified material in animal feed imports after several shipments from the United States were blocked at EU ports because unapproved GM material was found in some cargoes. The problem arises because of the slow pace of GMO approvals in Europe, which creates delays of up to two years between new varieties being cleared for cultivation in North and South America and getting import approval from the European Union. As with the existing rules for feed, the proposals are expected to set a tolerance threshold of 0.1 percent, and the GMOs in question must be approved in the exporting country with an EU authorization request already lodged with the European Food Safety Authority. All EU import approvals are granted for both food and feed uses, reflecting the integrated nature of global commodity supply chains. As a result, EU officials said it was impractical to have a GMO contamination threshold for imports of feed but not for food. However, with strong public opposition to GMOs across much of Europe, any plan to allow even tiny amounts of GM material in food could prove controversial. Environmentalists say the impact of consuming GMOs is unknown. It is unclear whether the idea has the majority backing of EU governments that it needs to become law. On June 11, German farm minister Ilse Aigner said she would oppose any EU proposal to end the bloc’s zero-tolerance stance on unapproved GMOs in human food.

INVESTMENTS | BALANCING RISK

The fine balance between financial risk and reward Discipline needed | Farmers investing in land and machinery face financial risk if ag commodities fall BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Lots of people think farming is a great place to invest these days. That might be true, but Virginia Tech farm finance expert David Kohl warns farmers that that’s how millions of people looked at Facebook just a few weeks ago. “It’s called buying into the hype,” Kohl said. The social media company’s shares opened at $42.50 May 18, rose momentarily to $45 before closing at $38 at the end of their first day of trading. By June 11, they were hovering at $26 to $28, a 46 percent drop from the opening. Investors could be in trouble if they used borrowed money to buy shares on that first day. Either way, they have lost a lot of money. The Facebook analogy could apply to farmers who buy expensive land or equipment right before commodity prices fall for an extended period, Kohl said. That’s something farmers need to guard against, even as they act rationally to replace labour with machinery and automation and attempt to gain production efficiencies with increased capital investments. “If you take on equipment with a fiveor seven-year payback period, what do you do if you have a negative margin at some time within that period?” Kohl said farmers need to keep working capital inside the farm business to deal with profitability squeezes. Cash or near-cash equivalents need to be

enough to handle times of low prices. “There’s that fine balance,” he said. “When you have high fixed costs, you have to have the discipline to hold that working capital.” Far mers across Western Canada are investing vast amounts of money in land and equipment to maximize efficiency and replace labour. Western Canada’s booming oil industry has made labour expensive and scarce, and at times unobtainable in remote farming areas. Farmers have responded by replacing labour with capital goods, but doing that with debt replaces a production problem with a financial risk. Commodity prices are volatile, but debt is firm and must be serviced regardless of crop or livestock prices. Kohl said Canada isn’t the only place grappling with this problem. Farmers in Pennsylvania and Ohio are facing the same problems as in the West, with the natural gas industry luring away local pools of labour. Kohl said farmers now face additional problems with labour because of the complexity of farm machinery and systems. “In today’s modern farm-ranch business, you can’t just hire someone off the street,” said Kohl. “You need people who can follow protocols. One screw up and you’ve lost a lot of profit.”

Kohl said the lack of “qualified labour” on his own farm, which he operates with his son, convinced him to buy a new processor for his dairy last year. That purchase increased his bottom line by 1.5 percent, which is good. He also bought cow-calf pairs for $800 to $1,000 three years ago. “Those girls are looking pretty good right now,” he said.

However, his good fortune in reinvesting in his farm might not be shared by someone doing the same thing in the future when the market is about to reverse. “You have to do proactive planning,” said Kohl. Sufficient working capital to survive a downturn is a necessity or all the profits made in a good year can be

lost in a bad year if it occurs after a farmer has made a debt-based investment. “In this environment, a lot of people are playing double, triple, quadruple jeopardy,” said Kohl. “You can take all your earnings and double down and lose it all very, very quickly. It requires discipline to have that working capital.”

Moisture needed when corn pollinates to make good on record yield forecast

hile farmers in Western Canada wonder when they will get a string of sunny warm days to spur crop development, the U.S. Midwest wishes we would send a little of the moisture south. If the weather turns sunny and drier for a while on the Prairies, the crop prospects would be great because of good soil moisture. Environment Canada is calling for a warm, dry summer across most of the country, including the Prairies, but it isn’t turning out that way so far

and forecasters such as Drew Lerner see more cool, wet weather in the coming weeks than does the government forecaster. Disease and slow plant development are a concern as long as the cool, wet trend continues. The result might be a large, but lower quality crop in Western Canada. It is the opposite story in the U.S. Midwest. The corn crop was seeded early in good conditions, leading the U.S. Department of Agriculture to forecast an above average yield of 166 bushels per acre. That would produce a record 14.790 billion bu. crop and raise 2012-13 year-end stocks to a more comfortable level. Since then the weather has continued warm, but rain has been scarce. Worries about dry weather helped corn rise last week. Early this week, traders were examining forecasts for a high pressure ridge to settle over the Midwest by June 18, which would bring heat and dry conditions when the corn crop in the southern Midwest is expected to start pollinating and setting yield. David Streit of Commodity Weather Group told Reuters he expects 75

percent of the corn crop will pollinate in the first two weeks of July, a couple of weeks earlier than normal. If the heat and dryness extends into July, that would put an end to expectations for 166 bu. an acre. Indeed, traders said Lanworth, a company that uses satellite monitoring to estimate crop size, forecast U.S. corn production at 13.645 billion bushels last week, with a range of 12.043 to 13.861 billion bu. That is shockingly lower than the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s May forecast of 14.790 billion bu. The USDA updated its crop forecasts June 12, the day after The Western Producer’s publication deadline for this issue. If 13.645 billion bu. proves true, implying a yield of 155 bu. per acre, it would be extremely bullish for prices. Lanworth’s crop forecast is less than the USDA’s forecast of 13,775 billion bu. of total use. That would imply a further drawdown of yearend stocks, but that can’t happen because they are already so tight, which means prices would have to rise to ration demand. Lanworth also shocked the market last July with a forecast far lower than

the USDA forecast. In the end, the crop proved even smaller than the Lanworth number. So are they on to something? Joseph Glauber, the USDA’s chief economist, doubts it. He attended the International Grains Council annual meeting last week to talk up the potential for a big crop and rising year-end stocks. He cautioned against reading too much into the recent dryness in the Midwest, and noted that USDA analysts were still talking about the potential for record yields. That, coupled with no growth in ethanol production for the first time in more than a decade, should allow the United States to rebuild sorely depleted corn stocks and bring down corn prices, Glauber said. Because corn forms the foundation of the grain market and because the U.S. is the biggest producer in the world, weather in the Midwest over the next four weeks is critically important in setting the tone for the coming crop year.

AG PROGRAMS | ONTARIO, QUEBEC

Hog sector subsidy irks American producers

and are not supported by the federal government. The Ontario program, which was recently implemented, has not received the traditional 40 percent share of funding from the federal government because federal bureaucrats say it is clearly a countervailable program. Kynoch, who was touring the World Pork Expo with Manitoba Pork Council executive director Andrew Dickson, said Manitoba hog farmers are uniquely vulnerable to American trade actions and don’t like seeing eastern provinces provoking U.S. growers. “If the Americans are concerned with provincial programs, it’s a concern for us,” he said, noting that any trade action would be against all Canadian exports and would not

target just the provinces with the offending programs. “If they launch a trade action, it hurts us because we are so reliant on exports.” The likelihood of another pig trade war with the United States is unclear. The battle over country-of-origin labelling is before the World Trade Organization, which has been expensive and time consuming for all sides. Canada won a major countervailing and dumping struggle with the U.S. over the past 10 years, but only after spending millions of dollars in legal fees and suffering huge losses because of lost markets south of the border. Manitoba hog producers paid $6 million in legal fees during that battle.

The Quebec and Ontario programs top the list of American grievances with Canada, but there are other issues as well. The American industry objects to any safety net program that helps producers, even the “whole farm” supports that are generally considered non-distorting because they encourage no specific form of production. The NPPC doesn’t like programs such as Agristability, Farm Credit Canada and anything that evens out income volatility or makes credit available to farmers. The NPPC even objects to provincial programs that make natural gas available to farms. In an interview, Hunt said farms in his home state of North Carolina truck in propane for power, while many Canadian farms are able to use cheaper natural gas because governments help provide access to the distribution system. “They have tremendous reserves, so just something as simple as being government-built to supply gas to all of the livestock facilities all across the country (is a subsidy to Canadian producers),” Hunt said. American hog producers also complain about the federal government’s sow buyout and barn mothballing program of three years ago, which took 200,000 sows out of production for at least three years. The American objection to the program is that it is now ending, which will allow those mothballed facilities to come back into production. “That program is ending just at the time that Ontario is implementing a program to guarantee profits,” said Iowa State University agricultural economist Dermot Hayes.

Auction volumes totalled 15,165, down two percent. Weekly feeder exports to May 26 totalled 3,343, down 42 percent. The market could be volatile for the

Ontario last straw | The province joined Quebec in offering hog producers support BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Agricultural programs in Ontario and Quebec are near the top of the list of world trade issues that annoy the American hog industry. “The Americans are very concerned about the new program in Ontario,” Manitoba Pork Council chair Karl Kynoch said in an interview at the World Pork Expo in Des Moines, Iowa. “They are really riled up about it.” Quebec’s Assurance stabilisation des revenus agricoles program, which subsidizes hog producers’ income, has annoyed American hog producers for many years, but the recent creation of a similar Risk Management Program in Ontario has exacerbated tensions. The Ontario and Quebec programs were brought up twice by U.S. National Pork Producers’ Council trade officials during outlook sessions. They were the only major Canadian issue that was discussed. “Canada’s long history of subsidizing its hog producers has created a significant distortion in the North American hog markets,” said NPPC president R.C. Hunt said during a news conference. The two provincial programs are the basis of the NPPC’s argument that Canada should not be allowed to join the Trans Pacific Partnership, a trade zone that contains many

CANFAX REPORT FED CATTLE UP

COWS HIT RECORD

An interest rate cut in China and hope that European leaders will seriously address their debt crisis lifted cattle futures last week. That supported live cattle prices, as did the stronger U.S. market, where market-ready supply appears to be less than expected and where strong beef prices have helped packer margins. The Canfax weighted average steer price last week was $114.71 per hundredweight, up $1.53, and heifers averaged $113.75, up 66 cents. There was little interest from American buyers, and Saskatchewan fed trade was light. More than twice as many heifers were marketed than the previous week, and total sales volume was 17 percent larger at 19,857 head. The Alberta fed cash-to-futures basis narrowed 21 cents to -$6.77. Weekly fed cattle exports to May 26 fell nine percent to 7,091 head. Year-to-date exports at 177,463 head are two percent lower than the same week last year. Weekly western Canadian fed slaughter to June 2 was up two percent at 36,369 head. Fed prices traditionally trend lower in June, but relatively current feedlot inventories should keep fed prices steady.

Butcher cows soared $3-$4.75 per cwt. to reach a record. D1, D2 cows ranged $78-$92 to average $85.90. D3s were $70-$81 to average $75.50. Packer interest for high yielding and age-verified cows was strong, with sales as high as $92. There might be a slight price advantage trading on a live basis because rail bids of $156-$162 were only steady to $1 higher. Bulls were unable to keep pace with surging cow prices as the spread narrowed to $13.24 per cwt. Some commercial auctions saw slaughter volumes nearly double compared to the previous week. Softer eastern Canadian cow prices a n d v o l u m e - re l a t e d p re s s u re because of the closure of Eastern Canada’s main cull plant could stall non-fed values next week.

FEEDERS RISE Feedlots are restocking pens by drawing on backgrounded cattle. Spot cash market interest is improving as captive supplies dwindle. Weaker barley prices have helped re-energize the feeder market. Mid-weight steers and heifers rose $3-$7, while short keep feeders climbed $1-$2. The Canfax average steer price rose

WP LIVESTOCK REPORT HOGS RISE U.S. hog prices jumped higher as the supply of market-ready hogs tightened and pork prices rose. Retailers were buying for the grilling season. However, the rally might be short as weak exports and a large supply of frozen pork hang over the market. Also, packer margins are weak. Iowa-southern Minnesota live hogs rose to $69 US per hundredweight June 8, up from $63.50 June 1. U.S. pork carcass cut-out values rose to $84.80, up from $82.39 June 1.

The U.S. federal weekly slaughter was estimated at two million, up from 1.83 million during the week shortened by Memorial Day.

Slaughter cows and bulls averaged $2.40-$2.60. In the live market, heifers born in 2011 were $2-$2.40 and bulls were $2.25-$2.65.

CLIMATE CONFERENCE | BLAME AND REFORM

CRAIG’S VIEW

Blaming climate change on agriculture unjustified

nother year, another United Nations conference on climate change. It seems that nations gather about every year to try to develop a consensus, or at least a starting point, to address the major problems of the world. Earth Summit 2012, scheduled for June 20-22, plans to address a lot more than climate change, but make no mistake. Climate change will be a key issue that weaves its way throughout the agenda as powerbrokers from around the world gather in Rio de Janeiro. Conferences like these are a good idea in principle. They provide a chance for nations to come together in an attempt to solve the world’s biggest problems. In the past, they have had varying degrees of success. The UN Climate Summit in Denmark in 2009 saw goals tossed out and a final result with no firm commitment for action. Let’s hope the Rio edition turns out better. Farmers should keep a close watch on the proceedings because events like these have a history of placing a disproportionate share of the blame for the Earth’s problems on agriculture. Whether the issue is climate change, the environment, water, the global economy, the population explosion, or as the Rio conference has set out as its overarching theme, sustainable development, agriculture has been cited as a cause and a target for environmental reforms. That’s probably because agriculture is intertwined closely with the land and environment. As well, as a foundation industry, it is a provider of raw goods and services upon which so many other aspects of the global economy depend. We’ve heard the criticisms before: farmers are huge fuel consumers, driving gasguzzling pick-up trucks, huge tractors and massive combines; many have cattle that burp methane, a potent greenhouse gas; and it takes too much water to produce cattle commercially so we should stick to growing grain and vegetables. However, North American farmers

know that fuel use is not a luxury in rural communities. A reasonably powered pickup is vital to the job description: there is no transit system to take them to work and no electrical powered tractor for them to use once they get there. Cattle cannot be trained not to burp after they eat grass. Farmers have proven themselves up to the task when facing similar challenges in the past. As a whole, they have not been shy through the years about adopting innovative new methods, such as no-till and equipment breakthroughs that enable them to more efficiently get the crop in and out of the ground. That, combined with seed innovations and staying apprised of the latest agronomic practices, have enabled farmers to coax much higher yields from the same number of acres. Beef and dairy production has also grown more efficient. Frank Mitloehner, a professor in the animal science department at the University of California, Davis, points out that high-tech farming has advantages. For example, there are 60 million fewer dairy cattle today in the United States than during the Second World War. In beef, 90 million cattle today produce the same amount of meat as 140 million head did in 1970, all due to efficiency gains. That translates into less methane and nitrous oxide gases being released. It’s clear that farmers have done their share. We hope the communiqués out of Earth Summit 2012 give credit where credit is due. Yes, farming does have an environmental impact, as all businesses do. But farming is crucial to the survival of the planet, perhaps more than any other. We would be wise to find funding, research and strong leadership that keeps agriculture ahead of the curve in innovation and efficiencies rather than burden it with unfair restrictions and unjust accusations.

FOOD INSECURITY | CONFLICT

Latest report on Arab Spring revolts reaffirms food security as spark NATIONAL VIEW

BARRY WILSON

ometimes, it takes new events to reinforce an old truth: adequate and affordable food is a necessary base for any functioning society. All those academics and consumers and politicians who take today’s abundance of food in Canada for granted should reflect on this truism that has been a key precept of political understanding for millennia.

When Syrian-based researcher Mahmoud Solh analyzed the Middle East uprisings that have overthrown and threatened dictatorships across the region during the past year, the so-called Arab Spring, he concluded that food insecurity was a key factor. The Middle East and North Africa are the most food import-dependent regions in the world. Wheat is a particularly key import commodity in a region where bread is a key dietary ingredient. And the societies are replete with educated young people with few job prospects, significant resentment, dictatorial government and lack of freedom and opportunity. So when food prices spiked in 2008, a boon for exporting farmers but a bane for poor importers, there was an explosion.

Unprecedented riots broke out in Tunisia, Egypt, Morocco and Yemen. Dictators began to topple and the revolution virus spread to sweep into Syria and surrounding countries. A Cornell University study concluded that food insecurity contributes to conflict “and is most likely to trigger conflict in situations where other grievances already exist.” But it often takes food shortages or over-the-top food prices to trigger the resentment that triggers a revolution. There is nothing new here. It’s just that food-rich Canada often forgets that abundant food is not a right, not a given. In historical terms, it is not long since the Depression and the Dust Bowl reduced the Prairies to a fooddeficient region gratefully accepting

salt cod shipments from Atlantic Canada. In historical terms, it is not that long since post-war Europe depended on food aid because its agricultural sector had been devastated. Neglect of agricultural investment across Africa has helped lead to the current continental food insecurity crisis. The point is that food abundance is never a permanent position, no matter how surreal it seems to imagine it gone in a country like Canada. But neglect of the agricultural sector can do that. In Ontario, farm leaders bemoan the sharp decline in farmland as cities expand, shown by the recent census. On the Prairies, some climate scientists warn that the cycle of food

surplus and an export economy likely will be affected by climate change developments. There are no guarantees. More than a century ago, legendary American politician, lawyer and evolution-denier William Jennings Bryan famously said: “Burn down your cities and leave our farms, and your cities will spring up again as if by magic; but destroy our farms and the grass will grow in the streets of every city in the nation.” That obviously is not an imminent threat in this blesséd nation, though hundreds of thousands of Canadians use food banks every year in the midst of plenty. But the connection between food insecurity and political change is not a message that should be lost on anyone.

Put ag at centre of Canada-Brazil deal

Barry Wilson’s work worth honouring

razil and Canada have plenty in common, including the importance of agriculture to our respective economies. According to a recent report by the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Trade, agricultural trade and innovation represent a strategic sector for Canada’s accelerating relationship with Brazil.

EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK JOANNE PAULSON, EDITOR & BARB GLEN, FORMER EDITOR

Buddying up to Brazilian behemoth Certainly, Brazil’s emergence in the western hemispheric neighbourhood is difficult to overstate. With an average growth of almost 3.7 percent over the last 10 years, Brazil’s economy remains one of the most dynamic in the Americas. Having recently surpassed the United Kingdom to become the world’s sixth largest economy, Brazil is set to be the fourth largest economy by 2030. Already, Brazil is Canada’s most important trading partner in South America. Bilateral trade between Canada and Brazil has increased over 150 percent since 2002, reaching a total of $6.7 billion in 2011. With combined gross domestic product of more than $4 trillion, however, Canada-Brazil relations can yet be deepened and diversified. Toward a strategic partnership on global food security Brazil’s record in agricultural research and development, including its commercialization capacity in

Canada is the world’s fourth-largest agriculture and agri-food exporter, after the European Union, the United States and Brazil. Given their comparative strengths, Canada and Brazil are well-placed to reinforce their respective capacities through knowledge and technologytransfers, while working together to enhance the supply of food for the world. Toward this end, the Standing Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Trade’s report recommends that the government of Canada, in partnership with Brazilian counterparts, pursue a strate-

gic partnership on global food security. The strategy would be based on collaboration between the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) and Brazil’s agricultural research centres, the Canadian International Development Agency and the Brazilian Cooperation Agency. It would involve businesses as well as people-to-people links, which are fundamental in building and maintaining a shared appreciation of our countries’ investment in our future. By placing agriculture at the centre of its strategic approach to deepening Canada-Brazil relations, Canada can establish itself as a reliable partner in Brazil’s bilateral trade and innovation objectives, while collaborating internationally to underpin

ENVIRONMENT CANADA | FORECASTING

Weather forecasts both valuable and useless HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

nvironment Canada’s shortrange weather forecasting seems to have become considerably more accurate in the past two years. When a forecast says there will be 10 to 20 millimetres of rain on Tuesday, there’s no use planning to be in the field that day. Fewer people are working at Environment Canada after government cuts, so perhaps the technology is getting better or perhaps the weather patterns of the past two years have been easier to judge. Maybe Environment Canada has been pushed to be better by private weather forecasters, most notably

Drew Lerner of World Weather Inc. I like reading through World Weather Inc. for the big picture and then looking at Environment Canada for a local interpretation. World Weather Inc. is better for emerging weather patterns that are five or 10 days away. Environment Canada is good for fine-tuning local forecasts for the next day or two. As consumers of weather information, farmers have become more sophisticated. Rather than relying on the broad generalizations of a weather report on the radio, farmers constantly log onto the Environment Canada website to get the most recent forecast details for their particular area and to view the weather radar. Another source of information is The Weather Network, but in my opinion it isn’t as useful. There’s also WeatherFarm, the service by the CWB, and WeatherBug, which is great for knowing what’s happening at various locations in real time. Seasonal forecasts are still a crapshoot. For this summer, Lerner is calling for regular rain while Envi-

ronment Canada says the Prairies will be drier and warmer than normal. I’d put my money on Lerner. His seasonal forecasts have been relatively close the past couple years. While the best meteorologists struggle to forecast next month’s weather, there are scientists who are dead certain that world temperatures are going to rise X number of degrees in the next decade. Of all the forecasts, the ones from climate change crusaders have been the least useful for farmers. The greenhouse gas effect started getting a lot of attention in the late 1980s. After the terrible drought that hit many parts of the Prairies in 1988, it was easy to believe that agriculture was doomed. After all, it was only going to get drier and hotter. Twenty-five years later, climate change has been studied extensively, but we seem no closer to answers on what it means for the people who grow food. We’ve had several wet years reminiscent of the 1950s. A record amount of farmland couldn’t be seeded last year. The climate change enthusiasts

blame any weather deviation on the carbon emissions of mankind, but they didn’t see the wet years coming and they can’t predict what will happen in the years ahead. As farmers, we’re told that we must adapt to climate change with the crops we grow and the technology we employ. But the scientists can’t agree on whether we should prepare for drier or wetter, warmer or cooler. Still, scientists continue to apply for funding to study climate change under the premise that they’ll be able to guide agricultural adaptation. What a load of baloney. As farmers, we’re professional weather watchers. Short-term forecasts, although not perfect, have increasing value. Seasonal forecasts are interesting and if confidence in them grows, they could become an important planning tool. Long-range climate forecasts have shown little if any value and this is unlikely to change any time soon. Kevin Hursh is an agricultural journalist, consultant and farmer.

e had to keep it a secret. Had we told Barry Wilson that we were nominating him for induction into the Canadian Agricultural Hall of Fame, he probably would have found some way to stop us. Our Ottawa correspondent is a humble person, who views his role, as all the best journalists do, as a mirror and archivist of the society in which he finds himself. Barry believes in being in the background. We appreciate and respect that, but the value of Barry’s reporting is both hard to overstate and worth honouring, as are the basic traits that underpin his work. He is a true patriot, a man who loves Canada enough to be critical of it. He is motivated by a profound desire for his country to always become better. He is a true cynic, in the best possible way, the way true journalists are. He keeps a close eye on Canadian and foreign agricultural policy, evaluates it and writes about it with clarity and fairness. In the world of communications, it doesn’t get any better than that. He is a warrior on behalf of his paper, and on behalf of his readers. Barry has covered many world trade meetings, every one a gruelling experience. After the 9-11 attacks on New York, for instance, he headed for Qatar, chosen for its high security but not for easy travel. He was tear-gassed at The Battle in Seattle, when the trade talks became over-heated. Barry has braved a great deal more, bringing agricultural news and policy to western Canadian farmers. We can not think of another journalist who could have, or would have, done so. He is a true archivist. When WP editors visited him in Ottawa, he loved to display his collection of prime ministerial memorabilia. Barry has donated his collection to Carleton University. He is also the author of four books, two of them on agriculture. He understands the passion of farmers for their land. Barry has a farm in Low, Que., a beautiful spot he loves. He also loves the fact that can see the Gatineau hills, into which his farm is tucked, from his office on Parliament Hill. He is an inspiration. Barry regularly files 10 stories and commentaries for every Western Producer edition, a remarkable output by any paper’s standard. He has a love of Canada, and of the land, in his soul. We, as an agricultural community, could not be better served.

The Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association is calling for a review of the railway revenue cap increase of 9.5 percent. Many times, the WCWGA has sided with the railways. In one notable example, during the Crow debate, that organization said the railways needed more revenue to haul our grain. The recent strike at Canadian Pacific Railway would indicate the railway is short of operating capital. They need more revenue. One factor the railways consider is their client’s ability to pay. When they see farmers operating big machin-

ery, they assume farmers can well afford the increase in the revenue cap. To ask the government to do a review is interesting. We had a Canadian Wheat Board, which many times took the railways to task over service and costs. One must remember the current government is business friendly. It seems having the CWB, a government agency, criticizing a business pal was so embarrassing to Stephen Harper he had the CWB dismantled. What kind of a review can you expect from this government? One should be surprised by the WCWGA complaint about the revenue cap increase when considering their past record on transportation.

For that organization to ask the government to do a review is like asking a fox to guard the chicken house. Lorne Jackson, Riverhurst, Sask.

BIG AND GREEDY To the Editor: I truly feel for the people with regards to your letter to the editor, Problem Ditching, in the May 24 issue. The very basic reason for all the disregard for the neighbour is greed. It seems the bigger they get, the less care occurs as they have the attitude,

“I’m really excited about what the future is in agriculture as a whole.

“We got to go and get it done” because they are too large and reasonably good weather is limited. In our rural municipality, there are only three farmers who went through all the legal hoops to drain water. All the remainder are illegal. Do not waste your time complaining. Nine times out of 10 nothing gets done to correct all the wrongs. None of my illegal ditching neighbours even made an attempt to approach me with regards to end results before draining upon me. A neighbour even went so far as to come upon my land and continue his ditch. But from that point, I cannot remove my water plus his additional water due to elevation difficulties. Illegal non-regard to end results ditching is not only the only results of larger farms. I have had a neighbour spray his crop and destroy, via spray drift, up to 100 feet of crop out into mine for a whole half mile with not even an apology. Try a neighbour who seeds his crop 12 feet across the line into your I.P. crop and also turns his equipment around for every round on your same crop. I found a neighbour who moved a legal survey marker. Another large neighbour dumps his leftover treated seed on the line between us. Firstly, I do not want it on my side of the line, plus it was left lying open to the wildlife and the environment. It is a never-ending cycle. Bigger, greedier and even bigger so no one dares touch me. Delwyn J. J. Jansen, LeRoy, Sask.

It’s time to tell the real story Canadian agriculture is a modern, vibrant and diverse industry, ﬁlled with forward-thinking people who love what they do. But for our industry to reach its full potential this has to be better understood by the general public and, most importantly, by our industry itself. The story of Canadian agriculture is one of success, promise, challenge and determination. And the greatest storytellers are the 2.2 million Canadians who live it every day. Be proud. Champion our industry.

Recently it has been written that some crown corporations in Saskatchewan are healthy because they are generating large sums of money: SaskPower $240 million, for example, and SaskWater $3.5 million dollars from selling water and filling Gardiner Dam for generating hydroelectricity. The Saskatchewan Watershed Authority is responsible for the operation of most dams in Saskatchewan. Crown corporations’ earnings are attributed to them, but the costs of their decisions are passed on to the taxpayers in damages paid out. Further, in April 2011, the Saskatchewan Watershed Authority filled both the Rafferty and Alameda reservoirs not only to the full supply level but up to the maximum flood elevation. In both dams, there was no possibility for flood control downstream. On the U.S. side of the Souris River, Lake Darling was also filled to the top. Maximum revenue would now be available from electricity production and water sales. What could possibly happen that would require space left in any of these three dams? When the snow melted and the rains came at the usual time of the year, there was no space in the dams for any flood control. Community after community was flooded as water coming into the Alameda and the Rafferty had to go downstream. The water from the Rafferty and

OPINION Alameda headed south to Lake Darling flooding communities in Saskatchewan. As Lake Darling was also full, water had to go to Minot, North Dakota. After flooding Minot (luckily for SWA Lake Darling operators helped in this task), the Souris River turns north into Manitoba. Here the water that could in no way be reduced by a full Rafferty, Alameda and Lake Darling flooded communities in Manitoba. The water from the Souris joined the water from the Qu’Appelle River in the Assiniboine River in Manitoba. Discussing “healthy crowns” is meaningless. Revenue is attributed to them but costs of their actions are divided among the taxpayers of the province. It is my firm belief that Saskatchewan cannot afford to retain its crown corporations, not if they operate in the current manner — the liability to the taxpayer is too high.

ELDERLY | MEMENTOS AND MEMORIES

Sorting through life’s memories often difficult task for seniors SPIRITUAL VIGNETTES

JOYCE SASSE

aking the decision to move f r o m o n e ’s h o m e t o a seniors’ residence is tough. What to do with all that stuff is the stumbling block, especially because one may be struggling with health issues. That’s what happened to friends, who for years had been outstanding

community leaders. Their home was the centre of many wonderful social gatherings. Lung cancer struck the husband, and within a year the wife was widowed. She was also beginning to show signs of dementia. Their daughter lived a threehour drive away, and had five children. However, she was committed to doing the very best she could for her mom. First consideration was given to finding a home for mother. They wanted it in the city where she had friends. As a matter of fact, her mom named the place she wanted to reside in. There she could have a lovely suite and the supper meal was provided. But the question was what to do

with all her precious stuff? Beyond the house and contents sale, there were the personal things to decide on. All too aware her dementia was getting worse, they moved boxes of memorabilia to the suite with her, so she could slowly plan who she wanted to give these things to.

But the problem was larger than this elderly lady could cope with. She sat adrift in this sea of unopened boxes. That’s when I visited her and my heart broke because of her confused helplessness. Repeatedly I watch friends approaching a similar situation, and family who want to do their best to help. It can be the “stuff” that becomes the biggest stumbling block. Do we walk away from it? There’s no manual to follow, and no easy answers. Earlier on, we need to talk and pray about these decisions, and may the grace of God enfold and direct us.

LICENCES MANDATORY To the Editor: Most gun owners in Canada believe that once the long gun registry is revoked by C-19, everything will return to normal to pre-C-68 days. How wrong it is to think this way. Killing the long gun registry has really not changed much in terms of controlling the people who own and use firearms in a peaceful manner. There are an estimated 396,000 possession licences that will expire between now and May of 2013 (there are more than 300,000 already expired). These 396,000 firearm owners will become criminals in the eyes of the law as written in C-68. Let’s remember that C-68 has not been repealed in its entirety, a promise that (Stephen) Harper made over and over again before he became the prime minister. In other words, if you own a long gun (registered or unregistered), you must prove that you also have a valid possession licence (PAL or POL), or you have broken the law and could face a fine or jail time for illegal possession of a weapon. The long gun no longer needs to be registered, but the firearm user must be registered. In Canada, firearm owners are seen as potential criminals and therefore all must be registered, so that the police know where all these potential criminals live. The Harper government will not waive the licence fee as they have in the past. Because of budget shortfall, the Harper government wants to start collecting the $80 fee starting this September, estimated to be more than $20 million. Some provinces continue to keep back door registry information on lawful long gun owners despite calls from the feds to stop this activity. This mandatory possession licence will impact the purchase of ammunition, firearms, hunting licences, transportation, storage, etc. So what has changed? Lawful firearm owners continue to be treated worse than criminals. In my opinion, all firearms laws should be removed from the criminal code. Please call your member of Parliament and let him or her know how you feel about this matter. Inky Mark, Dauphin, Man.

Prepare for the unexpected, says meteorologist Wind, hail, tornadoes | Expert says when various climatic conditions come together a storm can escalate quickly BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Armchair weathermen trying to stay ahead of the summer storm season are advised to listen for warnings and keep an eye on the sky. Like any seasonal forecast, springtime predictions about summer storms on the Prairies are best taken with a grain of salt, says John Cragg, Environment Canada’s new weather preparedness meteorologist in Saskatchewan.

events from mid-June through August. Saskatchewan led the prairie provinces from 1999-2011 with an average of 85 severe hail, wind, tornado and rainfall events per year. “So typically, it’s a pretty bad year every year,” said Cragg.

“There’s a lot of events across the province. A lot of people get affected.” Cragg said Environment Canada’s season forecast for last winter called for cooler than normal temperatures, but that forecast was later adjusted to reflect one of the mildest winters in memory. Likewise, warmer temperatures through the springtime might not necessarily mean a prolonged storm season. He said conditions have to be perfect to trigger an event, and events escalate quickly. “A lot of thunderstorms are chance,” he said. Environment Canada tries to issue

thunderstorm watches three to six hours ahead of time during the summer, with a 30 minute lead time for the more serious thunderstorm warning. With tornadoes, which typically develop in the late afternoon and evening, a warning might be issued with as little as 10 to 20 minutes of notice. “We’re doing good if we get a tornado warning out in that time period. They’re hard to detect,” said Cragg. “It’s hard to know when they’re going to happen. That’s a pretty good time frame.” Earlier this year, the federal govern-

ment announced $78.7 million in funding over the next five years to upgrade Environment Canada’s weather monitoring infrastructure. The prairie provinces are likely to see several tornados over the summer months, bringing 100 km/h and higher winds, but other events such as straight-line winds that can accompany a thunderstorm are much more common, cover a larger area and are “more persistent.” “If somebody’s barn gets blown down, property gets damaged, they want to know that it was a tornado,” said Cragg. “That’s more exciting.”

Canada and the United States should move toward regulatory harmonization, particularly within the red meat industry, says a recently released report from two independent think-tanks. The U.S. might not have implemented mandatory country-of-origin labelling if the two countries had achieved this earlier, the report added. “If only we could have co-operated in 2003 on this issue we could have saved hundreds of millions of dollars,” said Alexander Moens of the Fraser Institute, who co-authored the report with Amos VivaciousLeon of the Competitive Enterprise Institute. “We know from the soft wood limber dispute, nearly a billion dollars was spent in legal fees on both sides.” The report assessed the financial costs of COOL on fresh food products sold at retail. It has been law since 2008 and caused Canadian hog and cattle exports to decline by more than 40 percent. Canada and Mexico won a World Trade Organization challenge against COOL last November. The WTO ruled the U.S. law was inconsistent and violated international obligations because it gave less favourable treatment to imported Canadian cattle and hogs compared to U.S. domestic products. The U.S. appealed that decision and a ruling is expected June 29. The law required U.S. processors to sort and separate foreign born livestock at an estimated cost of $45.50 to $59 per head, while sorting American cattle cost $1.50. Segregation costs for handling mixed origin hogs were an estimated $6.90 to $8.50 per head while that of Amer ican-only pork products increased to 25 cents per head. The report advocated establishing “mutual recognition” of regulatory

regimes for cattle, beef and pork, with a label stating “Produced in the U.S. and Canada.” It also recommended creating a bi-national group that would work to ensure that future standards or regulations are negotiated jointly. Moens said such a move could be a challenge because of resistance on both sides of the border from antifree trade groups. “It is going to be very difficult. We are in the middle of an (U.S.) election campaign so expect very little,” he said. “Next year may be an opportunity. First of all, we have to see how the W TO rules at the end of this month, but it won’t be easy.” The law could be amended in the 2012 U.S. farm bill. A bi-national committee could act as watchdog. If one country wants to change or add standards, the committee could examine the proposal and ensure it creates no differences between the two countries. Many of these changes are bureaucratic and have an almost sacred aura for some, but they are needed because of the high value of trade between the two countries, said Martin Unrau, president of the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association. “It is going to be harder to do than we think,” he said. International committees are talking about streamlining regulations, har monizing meat grades and adopting the same nomenclature so all cuts are called by the same name. The CCA advocates equivalency rather than harmonizing standards. Harmonization means doing things the same way while equivalency strives to reach the same outcomes. “If we look at harmonization, we will be constantly butting heads with countries because everybody wants to say my way is better than yours. At the end of the day, if we can reach that agreement that we have reached the end goal, especially with food safety, we can make more headway that way,” he said.

If it seems like moose are being spotted walking through fields and towns around Saskatchewan with increasing frequency, there’s good reason. “ When I go pheasant hunting, as an example, 10 years ago if we saw a moose we’d all stop and take a picture of it,” said Darrell Crabbe, executive director of the Saskatchewan WIldlife Federation. “The last two or three years, it’s not if you’re going to see moose, it’s how many of them you’re going to see.” Over the last generation, the habitat of Saskatchewan’s moose population has diversified alongside its agricultural production, said Rob Tether, a wildlife biologist with the Saskatchewan ministry of environment. Moose numbers are up, he said, but while most still inhabit northern forests, between 5,000 and 7,000 are now spread out across southern Saskatchewan, where the “specialized generalist” feasts on meals of peas, alfalfa and canola. Agricultural land provides a good habitat for them, with fewer pressures from predators and, increasingly, fewer people. More recently, said Tether, moose

Sightings of moose are becoming more common as they move closer to cities looking for food. | have been moving closer to the province’s two major cities. Over the last five years, officials in Regina and Saskatoon have come to expect between six and 10 moose sightings a year, but in the last few weeks alone there have been multiple instances where moose entered those cities and had to be tranquilized and removed. “That just tells us the number of moose are high enough that we need to control that, to try and reduce where we can any of these instances of moose moving into cities or crossing highways,” said Tether. According to the SWF, more than 300 people were injured in vehicular collisions with wildlife last year in Saskatchewan.

The situation has created new opportunities for hunters in the province, as quotas for the animal have increased across the province, to 1,300 tags this year from 250 in 2008, with particular attention being paid to the regions closer to cities. Hunters in regions immediately next to city limits face more regulations, which drives down the hunting success rate. “Even with all of those restrictions the hunters seem to be successful and are able to harvest a moose in that area and it helps us a lot because it’s one of the few management tools we have to ensure that populations don’t expand to a point that they overpopulate an area,” said Tether. Thousands of moose were har-

vested in Alberta last year, but the situation is different in Manitoba. W h i l e a m o o s e w a s re c e n t l y tranquilized in Brandon, a declining moose population has resulted in hunting closures in the Duck Mountain and Porcupine Mountain areas. The population in that province is low, but stable, said Dan Bulloch, a policy analyst with Manitoba Conservation, who pegged total numbers between 20,000 and 30,000. At their peak, the Manitoba population could total 50,000, he said. In Saskatchewan, Tether said the provincial ministry is working to form a long-term strategy to manage moose on farmland, which would examine management techniques.

A massive prairie-based farm operation has reduced its first quarter losses from last year. Toronto-based investment company Sprott Resources recently reported a net first quarter loss of $3.2 million for One Earth Farms, a crop and cattle operation that leases First Nation land. The loss is down from $3.8 million for the same period in 2011. One Earth Farms also reports it reduced the size of its livestock operations, “mainly as a result of sales,” to 11,414 through the end of March, down from 13,703 at the end of 2011. The company continues to expand its cropping operations, with the company planning to farm 94,000 acres this year. That’s up from 2011, but below a projection of 100,000 acres made in January. In a mid-May statement, One Earth Farms chief executive officer Steve Yu z p e s a i d t h e c o m p a n y h a d already completed seeding on 34,000 acres in southern Alberta. Company officials previously stated that 25 percent of the company’s operations are in northeastern Alberta, 15 percent in northeastern Saskatchewan and 20 percent in eastern Saskatchewan. The remaining 40 percent is in southern Alberta, where a good portion is under irrigation.

University of Saskatchewan gets green light for emissions study Federal gov’t gives $3.4 million for research | Five-year initiative will look into ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from ag practices BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A $3.4 million parcel from the federal government will fund research at the University of Saskatchewan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural practices. The funds will be invested into the U of S through the Agricultural Greenhouse Gases Program, a fiveyear, $27 million initiative that’s providing research dollars to projects across the country. From that $3.4 million, $980,000 will fund the development of new management practices for nitrogenuse efficiency in the forage beef sector, while $920,000 will be used to study greenhouse gases and efficiency within prairie irrigation systems. The rest, $1.5 million, will study how agroforestry plantings can mitigate greenhouse gases. “That’s a big part of this program, is to keep the agronomy part and the environmental part together,” said Rich Farrell, an associate professor at the U of S College of Agriculture and Bioresources and the ministry of agriculture’s strategic research chair. “It turns out, not too surprisingly, the practices that are best from an agronomic standpoint wind up giving you the biggest benefits from an environmental standpoint.”

Researchers hope that when the study is finished, prairie producers will better understand the benefits of nitrogen inhibitors, as well as their economic feasibility and impact on greenhouse gas emissions. | FILE PHOTO Agriculture minister Gerry Ritz made the funding announcement last week, ahead of meetings of the Global Research Alliance on Agricul-

tural Greenhouse Gases, of which C a n a d a i s c u r r e n t l y c h a i r, i n Saskatoon. The AGGP is part of Canada’s con-

tribution to the international project, a network of more than two dozen countries seeking to develop new management practices without

increasing greenhouse gases. Farrell’s work, examining nitrogenuse efficiency among forages, will see researchers examining alfalfa and soils with different pH values and organic matter content from the Carrot River region. Of interest to Farrell is the use of urea and nitrification inhibitors to increase efficiency, reducing the amount of nitrogen available to microorganisms and lost as ammonia. “Any (nitrogen) that goes off as ammonia or nitrous oxide is nitrogen that a producer has paid for and isn’t getting. We want to minimize those emissions, so that you’re getting the nitrogen that you’re paying for,” said Farrell. “It may mean that you can use less nitrogen if you use the inhibitors than you’re currently using or it might mean you still need the same amount, but we’re not losing as much.” Another group will be studying the carbon sequestration potential of alfalfa, said Farrell. Upon the research’s conclusion, Farrell should be able to provide prairie producers with a better understanding of the benefits of these inhibitors for yield and seed production, as well as their economic feasibility and impact on greenhouse gas emissions.

CFA worries agriculture ministers will target farm programs BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

The head of Canada’s largest farm lobby says producers fear farm support budget cuts as agriculture ministers near the end of negotiations on the next five-year farm program framework. Ron Bonnett, president of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, said he worries strong farmgate prices will lead ministers to cut farm support programs. He said the farm industry has largely been kept in the dark about negotiation implications. “We have been getting signals from some of our provincial members that ministers see this as a chance to reduce farmer access to business risk management programs, and we would object to that,” he said from his northern Ontario farm. “Farmers need assurance of effective risk management programs, and if cuts come and then prices or incomes fall, we could end up trying to fix something in two years when it is needed.” Bonnett complained about a “lack of information provided to industry in relation to the ongoing agricultural ministers’ negotiations.” Federal and provincial agriculture ministers plan to finish negotiations on the next five-year Growing Forward framework when they meet in Whitehorse in early September. It is scheduled to take effect April 1. Although farm support programs such as AgriStability and AgriInvest are required by law to respond to farm demand rather than govern-

ment budgets, there have been clear signals from Ottawa that the recent boom in farm receipts should lead to more of an emphasis on science, innovation and other non-farm financial support programs in the next five-year plan. Bonnett said signals from the provinces indicate that it means a change in the program eligibility rules to make it more difficult to trigger payments. While federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz has denied that, former Ontario agriculture minister Carol Mitchell refused last year during a minister’s meeting in New Brunswick to sign a communiqué on Growing Forward Two because she said it would provide less support to Ontario farmers due to proposed eligibility rule changes. Bonnett said suggestions about reducing farm support levels have not been confirmed, and it is troubling that little information about the impact of political negotiations on farm supports is being made available. “While the CFA and its members recognize the need for fiscal austerity in these difficult financial times, cuts to BRM (business risk management) programming could result in an agriculture that is dangerously exposed to risks outside the control of farm management practices and thereby compromise its competitiveness moving forward,” he said in a CFA statement on the issue. Bonnett said there have been “behind the scenes stories” of impending cuts that will be rolled into the new program rules set out in the next generation of farm programs.

RESEARCH | WEEDS

Researcher tackles glyphosate resistance BY JEFFREY CARTER FREELANCE WRITER

RIDGETOWN, Ont. — Ontario’s glyphosate-resistant weed problem has spread and is likely to get worse. From a single resistant weed species found in a field near Windsor in 2008, two different resistant species at scores of locations have been identified across four counties. Both resistant weeds have been found in some fields. In test locations, glyphosate applications many times greater than the label rate provide little control. “If you had asked me about this four years ago I would have laughed,” University of Guelph weed scientist Peter Sikkema said.

Agrium calms fertilizer pricing fears Concerns over market power | Agrium says it will have a 30 percent share of the fertilizer market BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Agrium Inc. offers up plenty of reasons why it won’t abuse its newfound market power in Western Canada, the most compelling being the fear factor. “We would be scared to death to get the reputation that we are not charging anything but a competitive price for fertilizer,” said Kevin Helash, Canada and Pacific Northwest manager for Agrium’s Crop Production Services. “Because along with the fertilizer goes the seed and the chemical business and all of a sudden, we’d be sitting there like the Maytag repair man.” The company has come under fire by farm groups for its pending takeover of 232 of Viterra’s 258 crop input retail outlets and its 34 percent stake in Canadian Fertilizer’s Medicine Hat manufacturing plant. The Saskatchewan Canola Development Commission has sent a letter to the provincial and federal agriculture ministers and the Competition Bureau asking that Agrium’s market power be kept to a “reasonable level.” An Informa Economics review of the Glencore takeover of Viterra commissioned by the Saskatchewan government also raised red flags about Agrium’s involvement. Informa wasn’t concerned about the transfer of the retail outlets because Agrium will end up with only 39 more stores than Viterra had when the 232 Viterra outlets are added to its existing 65 stores.

What it found worrisome was the combination of Agrium’s retail and manufacturing clout in the fertilizer business. According to Informa, Agrium would own 42 percent of Saskatchewan’s retail outlets and about half of the country’s ammonia and urea fertilizer production capacity if the deal with Glencore were approved. Informa said there is no indication that Agrium would use its newfound market power to raise nitrogen fertilizer prices. The company’s retail and wholesale units operate independently, there are competing retailers in most regions of Saskatchewan and prices could be kept in check by imported product and minimal barriers to entry for new retailers. But the potential still exists for Agrium to exert its market power. Helash said their analysis has uncovered 1,000 crop input retailers in Western Canada, so Agrium’s share of the stores would be closer to 30 percent than the 42 percent number used by Informa. “Roughly two-thirds of market by locations will still be served by our competition,” he said. Helash noted that fertilizer is a global commodity that flows freely across borders. The U.S. imported more than 7.5 million tonnes of nitrogen fertilizer from offshore producers last year, some of which made its way to Canada. While Agrium may be a big fish in Canada, it only accounts for three percent of global nitrogen fertilizer production. SaskCanola chair Brett Halstead

said the competition from offshore product is mitigated by the transportation costs of hauling the fertilizer to Saskatchewan from Vancouver or New Orleans. “If we were 100 miles from a sea port it would be a much more comforting balance for us,” he said. Helash said the Canadian marketplace is already oversupplied. Canada produces about 4.4 million tonnes of nitrogen fertilizer per year while consuming two million tonnes. Yara’s Belle Plaine plant alone could supply 65 to 75 percent of the Western Canadian market. He noted that Agrium has been supplying the competition and its own retail outlets with fertilizer in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States for 20 years without incident. “(Wholesale and retail) are connected at the top by the big “A” in Agrium but we run our businesses completely independently.” Helash said the damage would be incalculable if word got out that the wholesale side of the business treated Crop Production Services more favourably than other retailers. “There are lots of options. People don’t have to buy from Agrium.” As well, he noted it would be easy for a competitor to enter the retail side of the business. All that’s needed is a rail siding and a coated hopper bin. If you want to add chemical to the lineup, a $150,000 investment will buy you a “beautiful warehouse.” Agrium purposely avoided buildi n g a s s e t s i n We s t e r n Ca na d a because it didn’t want to add new competition for the customers it was

supplying with fertilizer. “Of course, with the Viterra deal, that was kind of a dream situation for us,” said Helash. “We were pleasantly surprised that (Glencore) wasn’t interested in keeping the retail.” Halstead said entering the crop input business is more complicated than Helash portrays. A new company may be able to obtain offshore fertilizer for a couple years but eventually they’d have to depend on Agrium to supply them. Helash cited one positive that the change in ownership could deliver to prairie farmers. Growers would not be forced to bundle input purchases with grain delivery. They will gain access to Agrium’s Loveland brand of pesticides, in addition to the inputs that Viterra offered. And there will be constant reinvestment in the facilities by a company with deep pockets. The Competition Bureau review on the Agrium portion of the Glencore deal won’t take place until the sale of Viterra to Glencore is finalized, which is expected in July. “We’re hopeful it’s done quickly, before year-end. We’re geared up to hit the ground running as soon as the Glencore/Viterra deal is concluded,” said Helash. Halstead wants the Competition Bureau to take its time. “We’ve raised our concerns and we hope they’ll do a proper review of it,” he said. “With other grain (industry) mergers in the past, they have ordered divestitures.”

“Today this is the weed issue of 2012 for Ontario farmers.” Resistant Canada fleabane may be the more serious concern. It’s widely adapted to growing conditions throughout southern Ontario and the seed is windblown like dandelion seed, capable of moving hundreds of kilometres. Sikkema said farmers have voted their approval for glyphosate with their wallets but its widespread use has contributed to the development of weeds resistant to the herbicide. He said Ontario farmers must take steps to keep resistance from developing and eliminating weeds that have it. “Diversity, diversity, diversity is the thing: a diverse crop rotation, a diverse herbicide mode of action, and a diverse approach to weed management.” Worldwide, there are now 23 weeds species that have developed glyphosate resistance. The latest, ripgut bromegrass, was identified in Australia last year. In Ontario, there’s a possibility resistance will develop in other weeds. Sikkema said possible candidates include Palmer amaranth and common ragweed.

COMMUNITY FUTURES | FUNDING

West makes do with less federal funding Operations reviewed | Eastern economic development groups offer advice to rural western counterparts BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

HALIFAX — Community Futures groups in Western Canada would better serve their rural clients by speaking with one voice in a time of diminishing resources, said the group’s national chair Dave Harris. “They will have to come together and find commonalities and build on that and I think they will have much better results,” he said of the groups that support rural economic development initiatives through loans and training. “The four provinces represented by it are going off in four different directions. Change won’t be possible unless they get together,” he said in an interview during the Community Futures Network of Canada annual conference here May 30-June 1. Harris said the federal government, w h i c h f u n d s C F o p e rat i o n s i n Canada, has indicated there will be no increases in funding for the coming year. Harris said the united approach has served Atlantic Canada’s community business development corporations (CBDC) well, cutting operating costs and freeing up more money for clients. Forty-one Atlantic groups contributed $37,500 to a central fund, to which the federal government added another $9 million. The fund today sits at $30 million. The group found dormant money sitting in bank accounts and little used programs, changed its funding formula to reflect what was happening in the individual offices and freed up investment funds to supplement rising operations costs. The changes allowed groups to learn how much

money they have to work with well in advance of the coming year, which helped with long-term planning, Harris said. He said small CBDCs once got the same money as large ones, with some floundering trying to get their work done while others had a smaller workload. “The more business you do, the more money you’re entitled to.” The West is currently in the early stages of what Atlantic Canada started, but the difference is that they’re tackling it province by province, said Harris. “The West needs to look at how they can do things better together,” he said. He said the overall mandate of the 25-year-old program is not changing. “What has to change is how we use the money we have,” he said. Jason Denbow, executive director of Community Futures Manitoba,

said western CFs are all facing the same challenges and looking at new ways of doing business on the $300,000 each office receives annually from the federal government though the Western Economic Diversification fund. They are exploring areas served to see if all are still appropriate, if there are ways CFs can work together with bulk audits and implementing new technologies like IP telephones to save money. “We’re trying to see if there are different ways of doing things to squeeze dollars out,” said Denbow. He noted how Saskatchewan divides funds equally among its CFs while Manitoba and British Columbia look at factors like need, size of the region and who is being serviced. Alberta has big, medium and small designations. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

4-H | 100TH ANNIVERSARY

4-H grows, stays true to agricultural roots in core programs Age range changes | International youth ag summit planned for 2013 on meeting food needs of global community BY NANCY RALPH FREELANCE WRITER

ST. JOHN’S, NL — Next year will mark the 100th anniversary of 4-H in Canada and organizers are weaving plans for celebrations and projects throughout the year. The Canadian 4-H Council’s annual general meeting here May 31-June 2

discussed those events but also addressed initiatives through the Embrace the Future program, which is helping plan where 4-H is headed, creating unified goals nationally and focusing on retention and recruitment of members and leaders. The national group has worked with provincial 4-H groups and consultants to guide some of the chang-

es, including opening up 4-H in all provinces to youth from six to 25 years old. Mike Nowosad, Canadian 4-H Council’s chief executive officer, said 4-H Canada looks forward to embracing change and the future. The new ETF program is an opportunity to introduce leadership and skills development programming to

new suburban and urban markets. “We will not forget our rural base, but in order to stop our steady membership decline, we need to go where the youth are,” he said. “Bringing in the lower age range nationally brings the entire organization in line with what some provinces are doing already.” Canadian 4-H Council director Michael Trevan, agriculture dean at

the University of Manitoba, said there is a need to build community. “One of the advantages of an organization like 4-H, which develops leadership and communications skills for its members, is that it has a national vision, but responds to a global community,” he said. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

Tighter budgets for Community Futures » CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE He said the Atlantic Canada model is too simplistic a solution because western CFs not only lend money but also do community planning and economic development. “We look at things that enhance the conditions that you need for business,” he said. “If we just used their formula and plunked it down in the West, we would fail to recognize half of what we do.” He said Atlantic Canada CBDCs tore down barriers between operations and loan funding, enabling them to draw off interest from loan funds to supplement operations.

“There’s lots of funding in their system already and they just needed to access it differently. We’re not in the same boat,” he said. Denbow said the main goal is to retain programming for rural clients. “As our revenues stay flat, as our costs increase, it’s really to find ways to ensure we can find ways to maintain the quality of service. “We recognize that we can only keep operating with diminishing funds for so long and at some point, we have to look at new ways of doing things,” said Denbow. He said the CF conference gave rural board members a chance to see how others are addressing their challenges.

COMMUNITY FUTURES | DIGITAL ESSENTIAL SKILLS

Pilot program helps rural business compete BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

HALIFAX — Small rural businesses are at risk of being left behind in a rapidly evolving digital age. Georges Bourdages, co-ordinator of development for digital essential skills in Campbellton, New Brunswick, cited their isolation from large urban areas and learning centres as the main reasons. A small workforce also makes it difficult to take time off for training or to set up a course at an affordable cost closer to home. “They’re stuck by themselves with essential skills training needs and no solutions offered other than the classroom,” he said. A three-year pilot project seeking better training models and resources for workers in new technologies hopes to address these rural business challenges beginning in March. Bourdages detailed the project at the Community Futures Network of Canada conference here June 1. Small rural businesses, including two each from both Manitoba and Alberta, will be selected later this year for the pilot. Three provinces in

eastern Canada will also participate. Created through Human Resources Development Canada’s Adult Learning, Literacy and Essential Skills program, the pilot will develop training models and best practices to equip rural workers for new and evolving technologies. “It’s not a classroom approach but a self-based worker learning approach,” said Bourdages. Essential digital skills, which are defined as “necessary to live, work and learn in today’s workplace and society,” include: • reading, writing and literacy • document use • oral communication • problem solving • team work • continuous learning • computer use “More and more, we are realizing the digital age is evolving at an incredible speed,” said Bourdages. “Nowadays it’s only got one speed, fast. The digital age could change how we work but also how we learn.” Workers will need to be able to solve problems in the workplace through tools like computers, Smart phone or

tablet devices, he said. Bourdages said the CF network, which works with 26,000 rural businesses across Canada, can help spread the information on the need for such training and enable operations to be more competitive. “Our objective is to discuss, increase awareness of the important impact of digital skills in society and workplaces and the skills gap that could be facing rural small business and the challenges that creates,” he said. A 2003 International Adult Literacy Study that compared Canadian provinces and other developed nations found the manufacturing sector to have the lowest literacy skills, followed by wholesale, retail, hotel and restaurant sectors. The Prairies’ agricultural sector ranked fourth highest in literacy proficiency. A Level 3 represented Grade 9-12 reading skills, the minimum level considered necessary in today’s society and workplace. The study found about half of the provinces were not at that level. “Imagine the challenge,” Bourdages said, citing the economic impact from a lack of such essential skills and how it can affect the performance of Canada globally and the evolution of a business locally. “There’s an incredible opportunity with some training to bridge the skills gap and use the full potential of digital technologies,” he said.

4-H looks to its future » CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE 4-H will host an international Youth Ag Summit, Feeding a Hungry Planet, Aug. 19-25, 2013, in Olds, Alta., bringing together 120 youth from more than 20 countries to discuss how to meet the food needs of the world.

PARENTING | NUTRITION

‘We’ll have the chicken strips and an apple, hold the fries’ Helping children choose wisely | U.S. fast-food giants add healthier items to the menu with national restaurant association nutrition initiative BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

For parents, it is a recurring dilemma: do I let my six-year-old son order a burger and fries or should I encourage him to pick something healthier from the menu? The U.S. National Restaurant Association has developed a program called Kids LiveWell, which identifies and certifies menu items that are healthy and nutritious for kids, said Joan McGlockton, National Restaurant Association vice-president of industry affairs and food policy. “It’s a way for restaurants to not only demonstrate that they have these (healthy) products, but also participate in a nationwide website where consumers can go and find the menu items the restaurant has.” In tandem with Healthy Dining, a U.S. organization that helps diners choose nutritious foods, the National Restaura n t A s s o c i a t i o n l a u n c h e d K i d s LiveWell last July. Starting with 19 restaurant chains and approximately 15,000 restaurants, including Burger King and Denny’s, the program has since expanded to 96 restaurant brands and 25,000 locations in the U.S. To qualify for the program and its stamp of approval, a menu item must satisfy nutritional guidelines created by leading

health organizations, such as the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Full course meals must feature at least two sources of the following: • 1/2 cup of fruit • 1/2 cup of vegetables • whole grains • lean protein “We have third party dietitians who verify that the menu items do, in fact, meet the criteria. So there is an outside third party providing assurance to parents,” said McGlockton, who has been surprised by the rapid expansion of the program, in less than a year since its launch date. The program’s popularity may be attributed to endorsements by nutrition experts like David Katz, a Yale University professor who specializes in preventive medicine, editor of the Childhood Obesity journal and a health and nutrition columnist for the New York Times. “Eating well, especially when eating out, is the road much less travelled in America today,” he said, in a statement. “With this initiative, the National Restaurant Association and Healthy Dining are helping to pave that path and ma ke healthful eating more accessible to all.” As well, former U.S. president Bill Clinton praised the p ro g ra m f o r tackling the childhood obesity

crisis in America. McGlockton readily admitted that Kids LiveWell won’t end childhood obesity but the restaurant industry wants to do its bit. “The whole issue of helping people lead healthy lives is complex,” she said from her office in Washington, D.C. “There are a number of different reasons that we found ourselves in the situation we’re in, with respect to the obesity epidemic. The restaurant industry wants to be part of the solution.” Besides helping parents identify menu items with fewer calories, the vegetables, whole grains, low fat dairy and lean meats that quality for Kids LiveWell are all part of a well rounded diet, McGlockton said. “It’s making sure the child gets some of those positive nutrients, as well.” So far, Kids LiveWell is restricted to U.S. restaurants. Garth Whyte, president and chief executive officer of the Canadian Restaurant and Foodservices Association, says it will take a year or more to develop and unveil a Canadian version. “I think it’s a great program. Really what it does, it heightens awareness of Americans, of what a lot of larger chains are doing (offering healthy meals),” he said. “I’d love to do it in Canada and I think it will be done. But it’s a matter, for us, of resources.” The association is currently dealing with issues related to healthy dining such as nutritional labelling, sodium, trans fats and allergens, Whyte said.

ON THE FARM | DAIRY PRODUCERS

Couple serious about breeding superior cattle Outstanding Young Farmers | Farmers recognized for award winning dairy breeding BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

CHILLIWACK, B.C. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about the cows for Peter and Nicole Tuytel. Born and raised on dairy farms in British Columbiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fraser Valley, the Outstanding Young Farmers award winners for B.C.-Yukon have built up a herd of purebred Holsteins that has earned them international recognition. Peter is the youngest B.C. dairy producer to receive the Holstein Master Breeder title from Holstein Canada, an award that recognizes at least 15 years of superior dairy cattle breeding. With good breeding and selection, the couple has increased milk production to 43.6 kilograms per day in 2011 from an average of 24.5 kg in 2000. Active in the show ring, the pair met at a cattle show. They have been married for 12 years and have two young children: Caitlyn, six and Brayden, 19 months. Work and social life at Elmbridge Farms revolves around the dairy business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All our friends are cattle people. They are all purebred people who like to show and classify. It is a good group of people,â&#x20AC;? Nicole said. Both have a lifelong passion for cattle and a keen understanding of what makes a superior cow. Peter began building his herd at age 14 while Nicole can trace her herd back to two calves her grandfather gave her when she was four. Peter began farming after high school and started a broiler chicken operation on his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dairy farm. When he and Nicole wanted to expand the dairy side of the business, they sold the broiler operation and built their herd to 130 cows on 80 acres within Chilliwack city limits. The farm is currently undergoing renovations for better cow comfort and environmental care. They installed a system to separate liquids from solid manure that releases a compost that is reused for bedding. Excess compost is used on their garden or sold off the farm. The liquid can be used for irrigation or goes to a nearby lagoon. The soft, brown fibrous material compost is replacing sawdust bedding for the cows. It is sterile and appears to inhibit bad bacteria from causing problems like mastitis. In recent years, the Tuytels have

They both work with the cattle every day and know each individually. | BARBARA DUCKWORTH PHOTOS faced increasing competition from farmers turning land over to fruit and vegetable production. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You are competing with a lot of other commodities as far as renting land,â&#x20AC;? Peter said. Land rents for about $1,000 per acre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People think it is a novelty to live out in the country but when you start doing fieldwork at five or six in the morning, they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like that,â&#x20AC;? said Nicole. The Tuytels milk cows three times a day and cut hay every 30 days in the summer. They can grow silage corn but rainfall of up to 1,800 millimetres annually limits growing alfalfa and requires them to import some feed. Finding hired help is also challenging. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is probably more demanding than they expected. The hours on a dairy farm are not a nine-to-five job,â&#x20AC;? Peter said. They are considering adding robotic milkers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I always said no, never, but now I actually would not rule it out,â&#x20AC;? said Nicole. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to manage employees, we want to work with the cows.â&#x20AC;? Nicole and Peter share milking duties and work closely with the animals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can walk through the barn and look at a cow and tell she is sick by

looking at her eyes. It is just from years of experience because we know the cows,â&#x20AC;? she said. They recently added a heat monitoring system to check heifers for estrus and are also installing a camera to monitor cows during calving periods. They raise their own heifer replacements and bulls and use sexed embryos and semen to get more females. They have sold embryos to seven different countries and consign heifers to various sales. Their cattle have won major awards across North America. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anybody can go and buy a good one but to breed one is different,â&#x20AC;? Peter said. Their most famous cow, Elmbridge FM Loveable, a two-time Canadian national champion, is a cross of Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s maternal line with Nicoleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

paternal line. It was named the best bred and owned cow in the red and white Holstein show at the 2011 World Dairy Expo in Madison, Wisconsin. They also own Davidsons Raider Bronze, the first Canadian cow to receive a 97/100 rating. That cow produced 155,000 kg. in its milking lifetime. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We like cows to last. We have a bunch that are eight, nine, 10 years

old,â&#x20AC;? Nicole said. In the future, they plan to build a barn to separate the show cows. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our kids are out there all the time but it is going to be their choice. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to force them to do it,â&#x20AC;? said Peter, whose daughter is already showing calves. This November, the Tuytels will join other provincial winners at the national OYF conference in Prince Edward Island.

RESEARCH | SHADE AVOIDANCE

How plants compete in battle for sunlight Light sensors cause plants to react | Too much shade triggers protein-producing hormones that stimulate stem growth BY MARGARET EVANS FREELANCE WRITER

Plants may appear companionably benign, but a vicious turf war is being waged beneath that shady canopy. A plant’s goal is to get ahead of its neighbour, upwardly speaking, and grow toward the light while literally overshadowing the competition. Scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla, California, together with colleagues from the University of California, San Diego, and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, have now discovered just how leaves respond to ratios of red light to stimulate stems to grow faster and get out of a shady place. Their report was recently published in Genes and Development. A protein called a phytochrome interacting factor 7 (PIF7) is the trigger between a plant’s cellular light sensors and the production of hormones called auxins that stimulate stem growth. “Plants use a photoreceptor, called Phytochrome B (PHYB), to sense a difference in the ratio of red to far-red light,” said professor Joanne Chory, director of the Salk’s Plant Biology Laboratory and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator. “When the ratio goes below one, a plant thinks it’s in the shade of another plant,” she said. “This then causes a modification in PIF7 that allows it to bind to regulatory sequences in the genes that encode auxin. “These genes become expressed at higher levels, allowing the plant to make more auxin in the leaves. This auxin is then transported to stems, which elongate (within 45 to 60 minutes) to try to get above the plant that is putting it in the shade.” She said the main auxin found in plants is a small indolic (aromatic) compound called IAA for indole-3acetic acid. IAA is a phytohormone that regulates many of the growth and developmental processes of plants, including embryogenesis (seed development from a fertilized ovule), tropic growth (growth in response to an environmental stimulus), leaf formation, stem elongation, root elongation and fruit development. Plants sense their exposure to light, including whether they are being surrounded by other light-hogging plants, through the photosensitive molecules in their leaves. These sensors, responding to the wavelength of red light striking the leaves, react to the degree to which

The lower the ratio of red to far-red light, the bigger the response. Elongation is positively correlated with shade. JOANNE CHORY PLANT RESEARCHER

the plant is either basking in full sunlight or struggling in the shade of other plants. The pigment PHYB reacts to the wavelengths of light that both drive photosynthesis and respond to shady spots. This is the first time scientists have found a direct link between the response to light and chain reaction that drives the hormone-driven auxin growth response to shade. Chory conducted her studies on thale cress, which thrives in direct sunlight. Through its response to light and shade, she was able to document the sensor reaction that triggers the stem to grow toward sunlight. “The lower the ratio of red to far-red

light, the bigger the response,” said Chory. “Elongation is positively correlated with shade.” The danger arises when a plant is forced to remain in the shade for a period of time. The lack of direct sunlight may force it to flower early, producing fewer seeds, which are then broadcast by wind or insects to germinate in direct sunlight. In agriculture, this response is known as shade avoidance syndrome and can lead to loss in crop yields. When seeds are row planted too close together, young plants will struggle to grow upward toward the sun, blocking each other’s light as a consequence. As a result, high density planting can be counter-productive because it can lead to production loss. Chory and her colleagues used biochemical and gene analyses to identify PIF7 as the key molecular link between a plant’s light sensors and the production of auxins. “PIF7 was identified originally as one of about a dozen proteins that both bind DNA and phytochrome,” she said. “But what its target genes were was

unknown. We identified PIF7 in a screen designed to identify proteins that bind to a specific shade-induced light regulatory element in the promoters of shade-regulated genes.” Her colleagues then identified proteins that could bind to the light regulatory elements. When they knocked out the function of PIF7 in a background where all other genes were expressed normally, the PIF7 mutant made less auxin in the shade and the plant did not elongate its stem. From this research, they were able to show that when a thale cress plant was denied access to sunlight, it triggered a molecular domino effect in the cells of the leaves. The PHYB photoreceptor causes chemical changes in PIF7, which then activated genes that direct the cell to produce auxin. The auxin hormone stimulates stem growth. From an agricultural viewpoint, this knowledge could offer opportunities for developing crops that will have a stem structure less prone to shade avoidance syndrome when seeds are planted tightly in field rows. However, plants must currently respond quickly when shaded and

beat the competition for access to sunlight. “A plant that senses competition from other plants needs to make its move fast,” said Chory. “Since the plant can’t (physically) move, it makes its move by growing and it grows via increasing auxin levels within shoots. We can detect physical growth by one hour.” She said researchers don’t know for sure if the molecular/chemical process is the same in all plant species. The phytochrome B, the main photoreceptor, plays the role of shade detector in species of flowering plants, but the entire signalling pathway is not known in other plants. “I would speculate that this is a highly conserved process and it is something we are eager to obtain answers to.” She said the researchers plan to trick a plant in the early stages of shade avoidance to assume that it has escaped the shade. “If we can do this successfully, then the plant won’t initiate the syndrome of shade avoidance, which leads to early flowering and loss of biomass and yield.”

Ag, energy and environmental research unites Research intertwined | Environmentally efficient, energy saving technology will be used in agricultural experiments BY SUSAN HODGES FREELANCE WRITER

VERMILION, Alta. — Lakeland College in this eastern Alberta community has merged its agriculture research, environmental sciences research and energy research departments at the Centre for Sustainable Innovation (CSI). “ The centre, which officially opened on May 31, 2012, brings together research the college is doing across the board in particular with CSI, we are focused on renewable energy,” said Diane Harms, director of Applied Research and Innovation at Lakeland College. “There will be field plots and in future, we will also be doing watershed work, as well as work in wetlands and reclamation as there are a number of oil leases on site. One of the reasons we are doing this is to give our students better opportunities to learn hands-on and to work closely with industry and faculty and also to bring cutting edge technology to the college.” Field plots will experiment with novel crops such as the Jerusalem artichoke, a species of sunflower native to eastern North America, as a fibre crop for biomass to be used for making biochar. The college will also create 15 acres of native prairie in a separate study

CSI will be located on a farm site recently bought by the college. The retrofit house encompasses seven different types of renewable energy technologies, such as solar panels, solar thermal panels, wind turbines and a geothermal system. There is a solar array experiment with two

fixed arrays and a tracking array, which can follow the sun throughout the day and season. Studies will be made as to the cost effectiveness and harsh climate capabilities. “Our computer program will collect the information from the solar panels and feed through the live data site so we can see how each of the solar panels performs. In a way, this gives people the opportunity to come and

kick the tires, so to speak, on the different technologies in one spot,” said Harms. Also unique to the house is the geothermal system. “We have six bore holes, which are all used for a comparison study. There are different sizes of bore holes, different types of grout around the pipe, different types of piping and then four of the holes have a single

loop of pipe while the other two have a double loop of pipe,” said Melvin Mathison, dean of Environmental Sciences and Applied Research at Lakeland College. “We are tied to the grid with the intention to be net zero on a yearly basis, adding more electricity than we use to the grid in the summer and drawing energy potentially in the winter.”

LABOUR | IMMIGRANTS

Seasonal workers come for the cash Eager to work | Mexicans return every year to back-breaking work but are unable to immigrate to Canada BY JEFFREY CARTER FREELANCE WRITER

THAMESVILLE, Ont. — No one says life is easy for seasonal agricultural workers. The jobs are often difficult. There are long hours at minimum wage. The separation from family is a trial to be endured for many. Yet workers like Aristeo Perez Garcia and Arturo Brigido Diaz Montiel return to Canada, year after year. Garcia, 51, has been coming for 17 years; Montiel, 59, for 21. Both have been employed at Sunshine Farms near Thamesville for 13

dren. Montiel works in construction when he’s not in Canada. In signing up for the Seasonal Agricultural Workers (SAW) program, they’ve become part-time husbands and part-time parents. It’s a sacrifice, but not one without reward. In Mexico, Montiel said he might make $25 to $30 a day working in construction. Garcia grows corn on his high-elevation farm. He has an old 6600 Ford tractor that is sometimes rented to neighbours. Working in Canada has brought prosperity of a sort. Garcia and Montiel have been able to improve their homes and provide their children with opportunities they might otherwise not have had. Apart from what’s spent for food and the bi-weekly outing to nearby Chatham, the money they earn goes back home. It can go a long way, but there are limits. Garcia said it costs $12,000 to $15,000 a year to send just one of his children to university in Mexico. The SAW program provides part of the answer, but money still needs to be borrowed. “If we don’t have this job, you couldn’t do that,” Garcia said. Montiel and Garcia had no complaint with their employers, John and Claudia Jaques, or with their on-farm accommodations. The working relationship appeared to be cordial, even friendly: the farm owners work along side their employees on the processing line. It’s not a job to be taken lightly, though. The harvest is best described as stoop labour, a wave of workers moving across the field harvesting asparagus by hand. The crop is then washed, sorted and either processed or packed for fresh market sales. Working 10, 12 or 14 hours a day is not unusual. Garcia spoke, with some pride, of working for a large vegetable farm in Manitoba before landing a position at Sunshine Farms. Montiel said he worked in Niagara for a year in peaches, in the Bradford Marsh for a year and for eight years at a Simcoe-area tobacco farm before

coming to Sunshine Farms. Asked if some positions were better than others, he said they were about the same. Garcia and Montiel, who were interviewed in the lunch room as other crew members and the owners worked, did raise one concern. They said it can take two or three days to arrange for a flight home, even if there’s a death in their family. John Jaques, speaking later, said he used to be able to arrange shortorder flights at a moderate expense but is now required to work through the Foreign Agricultural Resource Management Service bureaucracy that co-ordinates the SAW program. Garcia also talked about an ugly incident in Toronto. A group of Canadians yelled insults at him and other Mexican workers, telling them to go back to Mexico. He and Montiel don’t have a great deal of interaction with members of the local community. They say those that they’ve met tend to be the “good ones.” “We are happy here. We understand that sometimes Canadian guys don’t like Mexicans. They think we’re here to steal their work,” Garcia said. Neither Garcia nor Montiel want their children following in their footsteps by coming to Canada through the SAW program. However, they would be interested in immigrating to Canada permanently, bringing their families with them. “It’s a nice country and we can have a better life here,” Garcia said. However, that door is all but closed. Under Canada’s points system for immigrants, Garcia and Montiel do not qualify.

LAND DRAINAGE | TILES

TRADE | MALT BARLEY EXPORTS

Drainage tile installer moves into pipe making

Malt sector seeks priority access in Japan deal

Demand exceeds supply | Manitoba installation company says pipe shortage prompted the manufacturing venture BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

With demand booming for agricultural drainage tile in southern Manitoba, a company that installs the tile is expanding its operations, but in a slightly different direction. Precision Land Solutions of Winkler has founded a subsidiar y, AccuPipe, which will manufacture high-density polyethylene pipe, also known as drainage tile. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen so much demand for our services in recent years that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had difficulty obtaining supply of pipe,â&#x20AC;? said Chris Unrau, chief

executive officer of Precision Land Solutions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have much of a choice, we had to do something to keep our equipment running and help our clients meet their production goals.â&#x20AC;? Tile production has already started at AccuPipeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manufacturing plant in Winkler. Precision Land Solutions will use the perforated pipe for its installations in Manitoba. Manitoba growers have turned to drainage tile as a way to produce high yielding crops, despite the wet springs and summers in recent years. Most of the tile is being installed under valuable potato land in south-

ern Manitoba, but farmers who grow oilseeds are also spending $700 to $800 per acre to bury drainage pipe under their land. Stan Wiebe, who farms near MacGregor, Man., told The Western Producer last year that his yields, for all crops, have increased 15 to 20 per cent since he installed drainage tile. In wet years the yield difference can be substantial. For instance, in 2005 one of Wiebeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tiled canola fields yielded more than 53 bushels per acre. A non-tiled canola field produced eight bu. per acre. Besides draining excess water from the soil in wet years, drainage tile

fosters root development in dry years, said Sid Vander Veen, drainage co-ordinator with Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agriculture ministry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because that excess moisture (in the spring) has been drained out of the soil, the crop roots grow deeper and extend wider,â&#x20AC;? he said, which means the roots can vigourously dig down for water, if there is a dry period later in the growing season. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s estimated that more than 40,000 acres of drainage tile has been installed in Manitoba since the late 1990s. AccuPipe employs a staff of 10 and Precision Land Solutions has 15 seasonal workers.

Rules that would give Canadian malt barley preferential access to the Japanese market should be a key accomplishment of any CanadaJapan trade deal, a malt industry leader has told MPs. Phil De Kemp, president of the Malting Industry Association of Canada, told the House of Commons international trade committee that Japan is a key market for Canadian malt barley, buying a quarter of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exports. But the lack of a trade deal could give competitor countries better access and an advantage, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is our hope that as negotiations unfold, preferential access for Canadian malt can be made a priority and managed in such a way so as to recognize some of the domestic constraints that are currently faced by the domestic brewing industry in Japan,â&#x20AC;? said De Kemp. He said Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s malting industry is â&#x20AC;&#x153;experiencing difficult times competing and maximizing capacity utilization in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highly competitive global marketplace.â&#x20AC;? The trade committee has been studying the potential benefits of a Ca na d a -Ja p a n f re e t ra d e d e a l although negotiations have not yet started, although an agreement to launch talks has been made. De Kemp said an issue in the Japanese market is high tariffs and while Canada does not yet have a deal, other countries are negotiating bilateral trade deals in Asia and many are involved in Trans-Pacific Partnership trade talks that Canada has not yet been invited to join. Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s malt barley industry, the second largest world exporter, could be hurt by exclusion from deals, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Japan is a highly respected and valued customer to us,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is an extremely important and critical market for our Canadian malting plants. Our malt exports drive value on all barley exports.â&#x20AC;? It was the same message to MPs from Canadian Honey Council vice-chair Lee Townsend, who told MPs that the largely prairie-based honey industr y sees Japan as a growth market. Sales rose to almost $10 million in 2010 and there is a potential for much more but a 25.5 percent tariff restricts access. Competitors like China and Argentina also face high tariffs but costs to get their product into the Japanese market are much less. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While removal of this tariff wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cause sales as well as profits to increase overnight, it will offer our producers more opportunities for expansion within the Japanese market,â&#x20AC;? said Townsend. Canadian honey, while high end on the price scale, is valued in Japan, he said. If the tariff disadvantage could be eliminated, he predicted a doubling of Canadian sales to Japan within five to 10 years.

AUCTIONEER COMPETITION | CHAMPIONSHIP

Chants of champions keep sale humming Canadian Livestock Auctioneer competition | Contestants judged on rhythm, clarity and control of the sale BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

STAVELY, Alta. — The air was redolent with manure and auctioneer patter June 1 when 25 contestants competed for the 2012 champion auctioneer title through the Livestock Markets Association of Canada. Justin Gattey sat in the lunchroom of the iconic Stavely Auction Market studying the “black box” item he would be expected to auction as one of 10 chosen finalists. The amplified auction going on only a few yards away sometimes drowned out the comments of the soft-spoken auctioneer as he talked about his craft. “It takes a lot of practice,” he said as he tilted back his cowboy hat. “Like anything, if you want to be good at something, you have to put the time in. It takes a lot of practice, dedication and hard work.” Gattey practised hard enough,

Like anything, if you want to be good at something, you have to put the time in. It takes a lot of practice, dedication and hard work. JUSTIN GATTEY 2012 CANADIAN LIVESTOCK AUCTIONEER CHAMPION

because he was named the 2012 Canadian Livestock Auctioneer champion later that day in Calgary. He works with Vold Jones Vold Auction in Consort, Alta., and has been selling cattle since 2006, after attending the Western College of Auctioneering in Billings, Montana. “My grandfather was an auctioneer, and I grew up on a cattle operation and have just been around cattle all my life,” said Gattey.

Novices to cattle auctions often wonder how auctioneers spot bids, and whether an accidental purchase of 20 musty steers can be made by scratching one’s nose or waving to an acquaintance. Gattey grins at the thought, but said accidental bids are a rarity. “Once you’ve done it, you kind of learn who’s buying and who isn’t.” Patrick Cassidy, who calls the action at the Olds Auction Market,

was also a top 10 finalist. He said the people in the livestock business remain the biggest attraction. “Cattle people, agriculture people, just the whole general idea of being around ranchers and working with cattle” maintain his interest in the auction field. Like Gattey, Cassidy believes practice makes a good auctioneer. “If I’m driving by myself, I’m always selling something. It’s something you can do anywhere — in the shower or driving down the road. I stop when I pass vehicles.” Knowing the market, the buyers and maintaining rhythm are key when it comes to selling, he said. Fred Bodnarus, another top 10 finalist, is a veteran of the competition and no stranger to the finals. The owner of Bodnarus Auctioneering sells cattle in both Meadow Lake and Spiritwood, Sask. “It’s a great living. I wouldn’t want to do anything else,” he said as he waited his turn to sell several pens of

cattle in front of judges and cattle producers. Bodnarus decided to become an auctioneer at the age of five. At age 21, he took it seriously and has been selling cattle since 1997. For him, a successful try for the title comes down to poise. “The secret is just being relaxed and knowing your product,” he said. Runner-up in the championship was Travis Rogers of Nilsson Brothers in Westlock, Alta. The Mr. Congeniality title went to Rob Bergevin of VJV Foothills Livestock in Stavely, who was also chair of the LMAC convention that took place in Calgary last week. Mike Fleury, a partner in Saskatoon Livestock Services, was one of the competition judges. He looks for clarity, rhythm, chant, good bid spotting, professionalism and control over the sale. “A good auctioneer, you can listen to them all day,” he said from a seat in the stands.

ENERGY | WOOD HEATING

Greenhouse saves bundle with wood heating Furnace uses wood byproduct | Despite a major capital investment for the furnace and broiler, it is cheaper than natural gas BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

CHILLIWACK, B.C. — Installing a wood burning furnace may seem like a step back in time, but there is nothing old-fashioned about Green Valley Produce, a family owned greenhouse operation south of Chilliwack, B.C. The 15 acres of greenhouses are heated almost entirely by a wood burning boiler with substantial energy savings since it was installed in 2005. “It definitely was a worthwhile venture. It is a lot more mechanical than a gas boiler because you just put on the computer and it does everything. It takes a little more maintenance and babysitting,” said co-owner Armand Vander Meulen. He and his brother, Peter, have a major pepper operation where they sell produce all over North America year round. Heating the greenhouses and creating carbon dioxide to enrich the atmosphere are major costs. Prior to installing the wood burning

system, they spent about $300,000 a year on natural gas. Their highest bill was $600,000 when the gas market soared. Last year, they spent $150,000 on gas. Burning wood had a bad image from past experiences but this system burns clean and there is little residual ash. The black ash fills a dumpster once a week and gets added to the farm compost pile. “Until about 10 years ago, the machinery they were using was messy and polluting. With the new European technology, there is just no comparison,” he said. The furnace and boiler are enclosed in a large structure beside the greenhouses. It is an automatic system with sensors and conveyors to deliver the wood to a burning box. A hydraulic ram pushes the wood into the boiler bed to heat the water to heat the houses. A computer controls the fan speed and delivers oxygen so it burns as cleanly as possible.

“The capital investment is much, much higher than gas but the operating side is so much lower that it justifies it,” he said. Natural gas is burned from May to September to enrich the greenhouse. It still produces heat and that is diverted to water tanks to warm the facility at night. Two natural gas units with fans draw the carbon dioxide and water vapour off the boiler. It is then circulated through plastic tubes with tiny holes that release gas to the plants. They burn mostly wood waste from surrounding sawmills processing cedar. The wood is delivered as needed and they only pay the freight costs. It is then mulched and stored in a three-sided shed. The waste would be thrown into a landfill if it were not used for energy. “The public thinks we are cutting down trees in the forest but all we do is take secondary byproduct,” Vander Meulen said. They have used some mountain pine beetle damaged wood from

$150,000 annually Princeton. It burns well but the freight costs are higher and it is less feasible. Demolition wood is also available from construction sites. About 10 of his colleagues in the Fraser Valley are using this system. They bought the system from Western Bioheat, which supplies Austrian built boilers. Burning agricultural and timber waste is more common in Europe to heat homes, offices, public buildings and industrial facilities, said company spokesman Herb Fieschl. “We are not inventing the wheel here. It has been going on in Europe for the last 25 years. It is just coming back to Canada,” he said. The systems can burn mulch like the Vander Meulens use, wood pel-

lets or pellets made from flax or hemp straw. Grain straw is not as useful because of the low melting point. “Agro fuels are usually grown with fertilizer and some of the fertilizer goes back into the plants. When you burn these straws, the leftover fertilizer in the straw produces chloride that corrodes your heat exchanger,” Fieschl said. “The hotter you can burn your biofuels within a certain range, the more efficient they are in their combustion and you don’t have the chlorides,” he said. These systems are not recommended for generating electricity because they are not as cost efficient as current methods.

RESEARCH | ANIMAL DISEASE

U.S. animal disease facility stalled by budget cuts, politics MANHATTAN, Kansas (Reuters) — The site of a proposed facility in the United States to fight animal diseases is little more than a parking lot today because of safety and budget concerns. Construction of an ambitious National Bio and Agro-Defense Center in this Kansas university town is on hold due to federal budget restraints and concerns about risks to livestock and humans, especially in the event of natural disaster. “When we were named as the site, I thought the battle was over and it was just a matter of moving ahead,”

said Ron Trewyn, who has shepherded the project along as vicepresident for research at Kansas State University. Now, more than a decade after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks raised fears of bioterrorism on U.S. soil, an armed guard and steel perimeter fence protect idle equipment in the parking lot and a few utility sheds at the stalled construction site. Further construction on what may or may not be the future home of America’s primary facility for fighting dangerous animal diseases awaits two National Research Council

reports due in late June on health and safety risks posed by the plant. Those reports may determine the fate of the $1 billion project. One report will analyze the risks of the plant as currently designed, and the other will look at scaling back the project or scrapping it altogether. Stop-and-go funding decisions by the U.S. Congress, and partisan gridlock among politicians have also helped keep the project in limbo. Three years ago, the Department of Homeland Security awarded the

facility to Manhattan because it was in the U.S. agricultural heartland and the university had one of the nation’s leading veterinary research programs. The idea was to give the U.S. a sophisticated research centre, joining only two others in Australia and Canada, to study and treat diseases in animals, either spread naturally, by accident or with malicious intent. “Should an outbreak take place amidst our livestock, the devastation to our nation’s agriculture, the backbone of our nation’s economy,

would be pandemic,” U.S. senator Pat Roberts of Kansas said at a meeting last week in Kansas of a steering committee set up to advocate for the project. Animal illnesses studied at the facility would include the highly contagious foot-and-mouth disease, as well as the Nepha and Hendra viruses, swine fever and the Japanese encephalitis virus. The United States has not had an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease since 1929. The Nepha and Hendra viruses can be spread to humans.

CORN | MONSANTO’S DROUGHTGARD

Drought tolerant GM corn said to lack promise Group opposes genetic engineering | Monsanto says corn with its drought tolerant trait uses less water in dry conditions (Reuters) — New genetically altered corn aimed at helping farmers deal with drought offers more hype than help over the long term, according to a report issued by a science and environmental advocacy group. The Union for Concerned Scientists said the only genetically altered corn approved by regulators and undergoing field trials in the United States has no improved water efficiency and provides modest results in only moderate drought conditions. “Farmers are always looking to reduce losses from drought, but the biotechnology industry has made little real world progress on this problem,” said Doug Gurian-Sherman, a

plant pathologist and senior scientist for UCS. “Despite many years of research and millions of dollars in development costs, DroughtGard doesn’t outperform the non-engineered alternatives.” U C S u s e d d at a g e n e rat e d by Monsanto, the developer of biotech DroughtGard corn approved by regulators in December, and an analysis by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. It said Monsanto’s corn “does not appear to be superior to several recent classically bred varieties of drought-tolerant corn.” However, Monsanto said its new drought-tolerant corn “can help farmers mitigate the risk of yield loss when experiencing drought stress,

primarily in areas of annual drought stress, which in the U.S. historically has been the Western Great Plains region.” Monsanto spokesperson Thomas Helscher said, “Specifically, these hybrids with the drought trait can use less water during severe drought

stress and have more kernels per ear.” Monsanto’s DroughtGard corn hybrids are in the final phase before commercialization in on-farm field trials. The company hopes to roll the product out commercially next year. Last year, extreme drought in Texas and throughout the U.S. South wiped out crops and left livestock without pasture or hay, with damages to the agriculture industry calculated at more than $5 billion. Monsanto, DuPont and other biotech companies have touted crops that perform better in drought as a means to help farmers combat water shortages. The report by UCS said that classical and other forms of breeding are

more cost efficient and effective than genetic engineering. A spokeswoman for the biotechnology industry said genetically modified drought-tolerant crops could still prove valuable. “It’s too early to make assumptions about drought-tolerant technology, while it is still being tested,” said Karen Batra, spokesperson for the Biotechnology Industry Organization. “It’s absurd to assume it’s an either/ or debate. With growers all over the world dealing with climate change and increased demand due to overpopulation, we need to turn to all the means available, including improved seeds and biotechnology to address these challenges.”

Timely rains boost Australia’s wheat output prospects SYDNEY, Australia (Reuters) — Much-needed rain across Australia’s eastern grainbelt has raised hopes of higher yields for the 2012-13 wheat crop as farmers in one of the world’s top exporters wind up planting. Rains in Queensland and New South Wales, which together account for a bulk of the nation’s high-protein hard wheat output, received between 25 and 50 millimetres of rain in late May, the Australian Bureau of Meteorology said. Weeks of dry weather had led some farmers to worry about yields. But despite the rains, analysts are still forecasting a smaller 2012-13 harvest of between 24 and 26 million tonnes as farmers move away from wheat to canola and livestock where they achieve greater returns. The Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences expects a 2011-12 crop of 29.5 million tonnes. Global wheat prices have rallied in recent weeks on concerns over adverse weather in the world’s top suppliers — the United States, Russia and Australia. The prices of benchmark Chicago wheat futures climbed more than 17 percent in the week to May 20, its biggest weekly gain in 16 years. “It’s pretty timely,” said Bruce Woods, a grain farmer in Queensland. “When you speak to people across the board, they seem to have received enough rain for crops already planted to germinate and for those yet to be planted.” Queensland and New South Wales had received less than 20 percent of

their average rainfall in May, leading to slower seeding. Farmers had said 25 mm of rain was needed to provide topsoil moisture, supplementing good subsoil moisture, which would allow seeds to germinate before any potential yields are lost. Still, most parts of Western Australia, the top exporting region, have received below average rainfall, causing concerns as the planting deadline of mid-June approaches. “Western Australia and parts of South Australia are still too dry and it is causing some worry,” said one Melbourne based trader. “Everything will get planted within the time frame as farmers will plant in the dry soil because they are used to it and of course global prices are very encouraging.” Western Australia and South Australia produce the most prime and standard wheat, which is in demand for milling across Asia. The U.S. Department of Agriculture is forecasting Australia will produce 26 million tonnes in 2012-13, although forecasts by many domestic banks are lower at between 24-25 million tonnes. Global wheat stocks should fall to a four-year low by the end of the 2012-13 season, the International Grains Council said in a monthly update last week. A spring drought in wheat growing regions on the Black Sea has already reduced the outlook for this year’s harvest, but forecasted rains could halt the damage in the coming days and weeks, a crucial period for crop development.

EVOLUTION | GLOBAL WARMING

Horse size linked to global warming? Adapting to change | Scientists find fossils of ancient horses that show they evolve during temperature changes BY MARGARET EVANS FREELANCE WRITER

bout 56 million years ago, horses were about the size of small dogs. But during a period when the global climate warmed substantially, they shrank to the size of average house cats. According to recent studies, the dwarfing was in response to globally warming temperatures. Research results appeared in the journal Science and the study was led by scientists from the University of Florida and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln as well as six other institutions. The little horse was Sifrhippus (pron o u n c e d S i f - R I P- u s ) , w h i c h appeared in North America at the beginning of the Eocene Epoch 56 million years ago. In the early days of their evolution, their growth was challenged when global temperatures increased during a time known as the PaleoceneEocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), a short (geologically speaking) climate event that lasted about 175,000 years. Massive amounts of carbon dioxide and methane poured into the atmosphere causing average global temperatures to rise by 6 C. What triggered the PETM remains unclear. “Part of what happened at that time was that there was a release of billions of tonnes of carbon into the

atmosphere,” said Ross Secord, assistant professor with the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, University of Nebraska-Lincoln and lead author of the study. An area known as Cabin Fork in Wyoming’s southern Bighorn Basin is rich in Sifrhippus fossils. The oldest specimens had an average body size of 5.6 kilograms. They shrank about 30 percent in size over 130,000 years to about 3.9 kg, about the size of an average house cat. At this point, they became the smallest known horse. Then, during the last 45,000 years of the PETM as the climate gradually cooled, the horse rebounded in size by 76 percent to an average size of seven kg. The phenomenon in which mammals and birds are generally smaller at lower, warmer latitudes and bigger at higher, cooler latitudes is known as Bergmann’s rule and in a broad sweep, it defines animals living in widespread geoclimatic zones. The theory is that mammals in warm climates can rid themselves of body heat more efficiently with a smaller body size while animals in cooler climates need that heat to keep warm. It’s all about adapting to changing conditions, migrating to a new home range, or risk going extinct. Apart from heat regulation, the reasons for a smaller body size in warmer climates are complex and are intertwined with the resources

upon which animals depend. “I did a calculation and showed that Bergmann’s rule … would not be enough to explain the change in size we see in dwarfing,” said Philip Gingerich , researcher with the University of Michigan and director of its Museum of Paleontology, who is credited with first showing a link between dwarfing and the PETM. He has proposed that in a high carbon dioxide atmosphere, plants are less nutritious because they don’t require and don’t produce as much of the enzyme Rubisco that they normally use to break down carbon dioxide. “I speculated that if mammals are on any kind of a calendar driven reproductive cycle, one way to cope is reproduce in a smaller size because of less nutrition in the plants. Interestingly, once the event was over, the mammals went back to their normal size previously.” Other influences to favour dwarfism could be changes in prey-predator relationships, drought conditions resulting in fewer food resources, changes in home ranges, or natural selection. But it is still a mystery why the similar correlations between body size and warming climate haven’t shown up in subsequent global warming periods. Secord thinks it may be simply a matter of not enough available information. “It may be we don’t have good

enough records. Climate records are not strong enough or the fossil records are not dense enough,” he said. However, he did refer to other studies, including one that calculated how wood rats got significantly smaller as the glaciers melted and the climate substantially warmed. The research raises questions about how mammals might respond to future global warming events. “The carbon isotope record was very important because it tied what we saw in continental Wyoming with horses and other mammals to what some colleagues in California had observed in deep sea cores in the south Atlantic,” said Gingerich. “All of a sudden, it was clear whatever this was, it was short-lived and it was global. We have a very good record of the horse species both before and after the event and it is only in the warming event that they could see dwarfing species. It is still our best model for what we fear we are going into now.” Secord wrote in the report that the PETM warming was similar in magnitude to that predicted by some global models over the next century. But it happened more slowly and it started from a warmer baseline. He warned not to discount the possibility of shrinking body size of modern mammals and birds along with changes in ecology and physiology in the future.

CROP REPORT ALL CONDITIONS AS OF JUNE 8

SASKATCHEWAN Despite some recent rains, 91 percent of the 2012 crop was in the ground by June 4, placing Saskatchewan growers ahead of the five-year average for this time of year and outpacing last year when 79 percent of the crop was seeded. Across the province, most spring cereals, canola, mustard and pulse crops are in the pre-emergent and emerging stages, while fall cereals are in the jointed to shot-blade stage. SOUTH Southeastern producers continue to make progress following rains the previous week — the Tantallon area has already received 242 millimetres — with 89 percent of the crop in the ground by the end of last week. Seeding is further along in the southwest, with topsoil conditions across the south largely rated as adequate, although as much as 55 percent of cropland has surplus moisture in the southwest crop district. Nine percent of acres in the southeast are expected to remain unseeded due to excess moisture. In the areas hit hardest by rain, there are some reports of flood damage and emergence issues in canola and flax fields. Additionally, flea beetles have emerged in canola crops, while high winds have delayed some spraying operations.

Crops are emerging near Gruenthal, Sask., June 7. | CENTRAL Seeding in east-central Saskatchewan continues to lag behind the rest of the province, but producers have made significant gains, moving up to 84 percent complete from 59 percent the previous week. Seven percent of acres in the region are expected to remain unseeded due to excess moisture. There were reports of some frost damage in low-lying field areas and emergence issues in canola

the 2012 crop remains to be sown. Several areas saw rain over the period, but in most cases, totals didn’t amount to more than 10 mm, with the majority of topsoil moisture on cropland rated as adequate. Rains have delayed weed control and canola and flax emergence in some areas, but excess topsoil moisture isn’t a problem in most areas. The majority of crop damage in the northwestern areas is due to flea beetles. Overall, crops are emerging well and have benefited from recent warm weather.

ALBERTA SOUTH A large storm cell pummelled the southern part of the province from the United States border to Calgary. It dumped between 30 and 100 mm of rain on June 5. Hail damage has been reported in the Taber, Enchant, Vauxhall and Retlaw areas north of Lethbridge. One confirmed tornado dropped down near Taber and caused some damage to farm buildings and trees. Crop damage is still being assessed on canola, dry beans and fababeans. Considerable erosion occurred in tilled fields while those in minimum till systems fared better. Spring cereals are currently entering the tillering stage, with canola and peas in the cotyledon to three leaf stage. Winter cereals are per-

forming well and are in mid-stem elongation. Spraying has started for fungal diseases in winter wheat. CENTRAL Seeding is complete and about three-quarters of crops have emerged. The region experienced continuing light showers and cool temperatures. Spring cereals are in the two to three leaf stage with canola and field peas in the cotyledon to three leaf stages. Winter cereals are entering the stem elongation stage. Spraying is getting underway although insects like flea beetles have not been an issue. Soil moisture ratings have declined slightly but most are rated as good to excellent. Hay and pastures are also in good condition. NORTHEAST AND NORTHWEST Seeding is almost complete in the northeastern regions and about half the seeded crops have emerged but need heat to get a good spurt of growth. Spraying has started. Soil moisture ratings and pasture conditions have improved significantly thanks to timely rains. Northwestern districts are further ahead with seeding complete and most crops above ground. Spraying is underway. Flea beetle populations are higher in the northwest with infestations rated as moderate.

TRADE | SOUTH KOREA

Confusion in exporter ranks causes setback Backsliding reported | South Koreans want to start negotiations ‘from scratch’ BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Crucial trade talks with South Korea, stalled for years, may be facing a setback because the Koreans want to return agricultural negotiations to the beginning, says a malt industry leader. In a n a p p e a ra n c e b e f o re t h e House of Commons international trade committee, Malting Industry Association of Canada president Phil De Kemp said he had been informed that Canadian trade offi-

cials recently returned from Seoul with that message. Canadian beef and pork producers are particularly anxious to see negotiations resume after a three-year hiatus. South Korean free trade deals with competitor countries could erode Canadian meat advantage in that lucrative market. Canada has indicated it wants negotiations to restart. De Kemp said the signal is that “the South Koreans were not interested in wanting to re-engage,” he told MPs. They want to start “from scratch.”

Liberal MP and trade critic Wayne Easter said De Kamp was echoing what he had heard. “That’s basically what we’re hearing from the beef and pork industry as well.” De Kemp said his source about the South Korean position was Canadian Agri-Food Trade Alliance executive director Kathleen Sullivan and an e-mail she sent to CAFTA members. But in an interview later, Sullivan said she was “baffled” by the suggestion that there has been backsliding in trade talks with Korea. “It remains one of our high priori-

ties and we are still hopeful,” she said. “I believe we are in the same position we have been with Korea for some time.” Still, the Koreans have shown no enthusiasm to restart talks that last were held in 2008. Canada has asked to restart the talks that are stalled over discussions on agriculture and auto trade. “If this does not happen, I don’t think it will be because Canada hasn’t tried,” said Sullivan. “This is a very important market for us and we can’t afford to lose it.”

EASTERN

Crops in eastern Manitoba are advancing well, reports FarmLink Marketing in its June 7 prairie crop conditions report. Moisture conditions vary, ranging from “nearly ideal” south of Winnipeg to excessive in the north and east. Winter wheat and fall rye are starting to head out, while spraying is underway on spring cereals. Frost affected some corn crops early in June, possibly setting them back by a week or two, says FarmLink. Soybeans are average, but should improve with warmer weather.

Our company continues to bring the latest in equipment and technology to help farmers, manufacturers and dealers do their job better. We help them â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Seed Smarter and Finish First.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Bill Baker, Founder and President of Agtron Enterprises Inc. Short Story of Agtron: In 1982, Bill Baker merged his two primary interestsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;farming and electronicsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;to launch Agtron, a company aimed at making agricultural electronics more accessible to farm equipment owners and operators. An early innovation that launched the company internationally was its development of electronic monitors for air drills. The technology established Agtronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reputation as a specialist in air drill electronics. Another big breakthrough was Agtronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s development of ISOBUS systems that allow additional functions to be added to the existing monitor. Agtron manufactures products in compliance with the ISOBUS Standard for compatibility among all major equipment brands. Today, Agtron has ten primary retail products, and another twenty versions of these products for supply to original equipment manufacturers around the world. All are manufactured at the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Saskatoon facility. Over its thirty years, attention to customer care and service and Agtronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three-year warranty on parts has earned the company a loyal and satisfied customer base around the world.

Agtron Then and Now In 1982, when Bill Baker launched Agtron, no one could have imagined the advances in technology thirty years would bring. To have described a farmer using a global positioning system in his tractor would have sounded like science fiction.

THEN: Bill started his business working out of a spare room in his rental house. NOW: Agtron operates in a 16,000 square foot building in the airport area in Saskatoon.

THEN: Bill was the only employee. NOW: The company has a staff of 25 to 30. THEN: Bill did all the design work. NOW: Agtron has engineers and technologists who work in their own 5000 square foot space.

THEN: Prototypes were all built by hand.

NOW: A CNC mill creates pieces from a CAD (Computer Aided Design) drawing. THEN: There were no mobile phones. That technology was right around the corner, but the very first cellular phone weighed 2 pounds, offered a half-hour of talk time with each charge, and sold for around $4000. NOW: Agtron has a wireless product that uses a smartphone in the tractor to interact with and monitor the other equipment.

THEN: Computers were slow and cumbersome. Billâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first computer was a Commodore CBM. The Internet was still a dream. NOW: Agtron has a network of computers and a room full of servers and related equipment. The majority of farmers use computers as a farm management tool and high speed communication buses provide high speed connections between modules. THEN: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hi-techâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; farm equipment was only compatible within its own brand. NOW: Thanks to ISOBUS technology in manufacturing, there is universal

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.

NEW!

$ 95

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

Want a first-class mesh wrap system? Give us a second look.

The all-new Hesston 2800 Series by Massey Ferguson®. To say our new Hesston 2800 Series automated round balers have evolved is an understatement. Everything’s changed — starting with our superior new mesh wrap system. It features easier, simplified mesh feeding and routing, lower loading height and extra roll storage. And our advanced Console I provides real-time monitoring for better bale production. Why settle for less? Get everything you need to streamline the job and maximize productivity. The new Hesston 2800 Series. Definitely worth a second look. And maybe even a third. See your local dealer or visit masseyferguson.com.

FOOD INDUSTRY | PROCESSING

Facility to test food vendors’ products BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

Small business owners and farmers’ market vendors who want to take the next step in food processing and business development will have the opportunity at a new food sciences training facility. By next fall, Portage College’s St. Paul, Alta., campus will open its Food Processing/Food Sciences Training Facility to help establish a local food industry in northeast Alberta. “It will allow producers to come into the micro setting without huge investment and test things out before

they go the next big step,” said Nancy Broadbent, vice-president of student and college services at Portage College. If food businesses are successful at the Portage College facility, they can take the next step to Alberta Agriculture’s Food Processing Centre in Leduc, where the food commercialization can begin. Broadbent hopes the new program will give food processors a boost to make their products market ready. The college received just less than $1 million from the Rural Alberta Development Fund to launch the program.

They money will be used to develop programs, labs and curriculum for the new program housed in an old school. About 10 classrooms will be renovated as business and food training incubation units. The first program should be ready by September 2013 with other programs to follow. New food processors can rent the renovated classroom incubation facilities to help produce their product in the facility. Broadbent hopes the new programs will help increase visibility of the campus and increase enrolment.

According to growers, herbicideresistant weeds are affecting the bottom lines of producers across the country. In a recently released poll, commissioned by BASF Canada, 75 percent of Canadian producers said that herbicide-resistant weeds are having either a small to large impact on their earnings. The results didn’t surprise BASF’s Michael Schaad, the company’s business manager, Eastern Canada crop protection. The numbers on how many farmers said they have herbicide-resistant weeds on their land — 37 percent across the country — were more surprising, he said. “I would say that they know that a lot of growers are thinking about it and if they’re not thinking about it, maybe they should be,” he said. Schaad explained that 55 percent of respondents in Manitoba, where producers have battled Group 1 resistant wild oats, said they have herbicide-resistant weeds. That’s above Alberta’s total of 43 percent. The first case of glyphosate-resistant kochia was confirmed in the southern portion of that province earlier this year. Schaad said 26 percent of Saskatchewan producers said they have herbicide-resistant weeds on their farmland. Recently released data from Agriculture Canada found that 31 percent of surveyed fields had herbicideresistant weeds. The numbers come from a 2009 field survey and were up from 10 percent in 2003, showing increases in Group 1 resistant wild oats and green foxtail and Group 2 resistant cleavers. The most recent data for Alberta, using survey information from 2007, and Manitoba, surveyed in 2008,

found a presence of 27 percent and 58 percent, respectively. Previous surveys have already shown that 90 percent of the kochia population is herbicide resistant and cases of Group 2 resistant nightshade, ragweed and pigweed have been confirmed in Quebec. “There’s maybe some complacency in that growers think there’ll be something new coming along to solve the problems and that’s not necessarily the case,” said Eric Johnson, a weed biologist with Ag Canada. “If there was, it’d probably be here by now.” BASF’s poll found that half of farmers say weeds are getting tougher to control, while most say that they’re using herbicides from more than one group to manage weeds. A number of best management practices are recommended to slow the spread of herbicide resistance, including crop and herbicide rotations and application of herbicides with multiple modes of action. “There’s still a tendency for growers to do what they’ve done in the past if something is successful and continue to do it until it fails,” said Johnson. “That’s probably the biggest management mistake.” Johnson said producers have been successful controlling broadleaf weeds by tank mixing herbicides. Over the winter, producers began to hear about tank mixing glyphosate with another herbicide and altering their burndown practices. “If they haven’t done anything in terms of tank mixing their glyphosate, they have put some selection pressure out there,” said Johnson. “So it’s pretty important that they do something in future years.” Ipsos Reid interviewed 500 farmers across Canada March 5-12, 2012, for BASF’s poll. It has an estimated margin of error of plus or minus 4.3 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.

ENVIRONMENT | PIPELINES

Sask. auditor wants more on-site pipeline inspections BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

The provincial auditor says the Saskatchewan government should do more to ensure pipelines are safe and not putting the environment at risk. In her report released June 7, Bonnie Lysyk said the ministry of energy and resources doesn’t have adequate processes in place to ensure full compliance with its pipelines legislation and regulations. “The increasing use and age of pipelines makes compliance with

the laws that much more important,” she said. The province regulated more than 1,700 licensed pipelines as of 2011. There are also 300 permitted or exempted pipelines that were in place before the current regulations came into force in 2000. The pipelines total 23,500 kilometres in length. Lysyk said there should be more on-site inspection when pipelines are being constructed. “We think that prior to licensing a pipeline that there would be value in

actually witnessing the pressure test, perhaps looking at the welding versus just looking at the paperwork around that process,” she said. When the pipelines are in place underground, Lysyk recommended the ministry obtain more information about the operators’ safety processes and get reports back on spills. The ministry received reports on 246 pipeline spills in 2011. Of those, the majority were emulsions, or a mixture of oil and water. About 165 of the spills affected land

and a small number affected water but the area affected wasn’t reported for the rest. Energy minister Tim McMillan said the number of spills has been fairly consistent over the last 10 years even while energy activity and production have increased. He said the ministry is already acting on Lysyk’s advice. “Where she’s recognized that documentation may need to be beefed up, we would agree with her and we’ve already actually started to ensure that the documentation is in place.”

McMillan said the province wants a safe, reliable industry in place. Lysyk noted that one-quarter of the pipelines are more than 40 years old. “We think that aging pipelines would naturally increase the risk that there is the potential for a leak or an explosion,” she said. The auditor also recommended that the ministry obtain regulatory authority over the 68,000 flowlines in the province. These are the short pipelines that connect wellheads to storage facilities.

NEWS DURUM | PRICES

THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | JUNE 14, 2012

A MANICURE CAN BE SO RELAXING

CWB end may cause durum price dip LONDON (Reuters) — Prices of pasta ingredient durum wheat could ease this year as deregulation in top exporter Canada and reasonable harvest prospects offer relief from tight supplies, a buying manager at Italian pasta group Barilla said June 7. Durum prices soared last year due to bad weather during the growing season in North America and forecasts for declining world stocks. But the end of the Canadian Wheat Board’s monopoly on marketing wheat from Western Canada, the source of half of durum exports worldwide, should increase competition, said Emilio Ferrari, durum and semolina purchasing director at Barilla. “This year, we were waiting for higher prices because the stocks in the world were declining and most of the stocks were in the hands of the Canadian Wheat Board,” he told Reuters on the sidelines of an International Grains Council conference. “But with this change of market, the price went down and there is an opportunity this way of managing the stocks will reduce prices in the next few months,” he said, citing a greater willingness by the CWB to sell stocks as it prepares to surrender its monopoly this summer. Favourable planting conditions in Canada and the United States, plus satisfactory harvest prospects in Mediterranean producing countries — with the exception of drought-hit Spain — could also curb durum prices, he said. “I don’t see strong volatility, probably a little bit lower (prices) but not strongly down or strongly up.” In Greece, where Barilla has a durum mill, the quality of the crop may be lower than last year, however, as farmers in the crisis-stricken country had less money to spend on crop inputs like fertilizers, he added. Privately-owned Barilla is one of the world’s top durum users, with about 1.4 million tonnes processed annually. Despite the expected easing in prices, durum remains a tight market prone to volatility, with a futures market in Winnipeg, Canada, too small to offer effective hedging, he said. Barilla has developed supply contracts with growers in Italy and other major supply countries, with prices hedged against common wheat futures, he added.

LIVESTOCK | ACCIDENT RESPONSE

Livestock accidents pull at heart strings Emergency response improves | Truckers, first responders and firefighters find training helpful BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Much like Monday morning quarterbacking, it’s easy to criticize the response to livestock transport accidents after the fact, says an expert from Alberta. In reality, it’s a thorny task to respond perfectly to the chaos of 200 hogs inside, outside or trapped under a truck on the side of a highway. “People, the media included, do not understand the magnitude of what happens … and how difficult the situation is,” said Jennifer Woods, of J. Woods Livestock Services in Blackie, Alta., who teaches truck drivers, firefighters and other first responders how to react to livestock truck accidents. “Until you’ve been in the middle of it at two o’clock in the morning and it’s - 30… nobody truly appreciates how difficult these scenes are.” Woods’ comments were in response to a hog trailer rollover in May on the Trans-Canada Highway west of Brandon. Based on eyewitness reports, dozens of hogs died when the truck rolled into the median ditch. Several observers criticized the response to the accident, noting emergency personnel didn’t properly care for animals with broken bones and other injuries. Without getting into the specifics of that incident, Woods said the handling of livestock transport accidents across North America has improved dramatically and continues to evolve. “When I started this 14 years ago, I never would have dreamed that it

When there is a livestock accident, it’s a much bigger story than a trailer full of toilet paper. JENNIFER WOODS EMERGENCY RESPONSE TRAINER

evolved into what it has,” said Woods, who helped develop the first training program in Canada to assist first responders with livestock related accidents. Since then, Woods has trained hundreds of North Americans on the complexities and subtleties of livestock accident response. “People who take my training, a lot of times they’ll come to me and say, we didn’t have a clue…. We couldn’t figure out how you’re going to spend a whole day talking about this.” In addition to the training, there are now dozens of livestock emergency response units across Canada and the United States, which are specially equipped with temporary fencing and tools appropriate for livestock wrecks. Reacting properly to a crash is key, because rollovers and accidents are bound to happen, said Woods, who worked with Temple Grandin while studying animal science at Colorado State University. “We’re never going to totally eliminate them…. That’s like (saying) we’re going to eliminate car wrecks.” Completely curtailing accidents may be impossible, but the number of accidents can be reduced, she said.

Several years ago, Woods authored a study on the causes of livestock accidents. She concluded the majority of crashes are connected to driver fatigue. Her research prompted Murphy Brown, an American hog production company, to introduce a fatigue prevention program. Murphy Brown’s accident rate is now less than the frequency of crashes of an average trucking company, Woods said. While there are success stories, livestock trucking companies are having a hard time retaining experienced drivers, Woods said. “I know it’s one industry that struggles to keep people long term,” she said, as loading and unloading pigs and cattle, on top of driving, isn’t for everyone. “It’s a hard job. Most of your guys, like your Wal-Mart freight guy, they drive the truck. (Other) people load and unload.” Yet, Deanna Pagnan, director of the livestock transporters’ division with the Canadian Trucking Alliance, said driver retention isn’t an issue. All livestock drivers in Canada, whether they have driven a truck for two months or 20 years, are qualified, she said. “No carrier is going to put an unqualified driver on the road,” she said. “They (drivers) go through rigorous in-class training and training with an experienced driver.” There is no evidence proving that driver training has reduced the number of livestock rollovers or other accidents in North America, because crashes are not tracked based on sector. No one separates the statistics into livestock accidents, propane truck

crashes or lumber truck rollovers. “There’s stats out there that report on truck accidents but they don’t report on the commodity hauled,” Pagnan said. Statistics indicate that, on the whole, trucking accidents are decreasing. Anecdotal evidence suggests that livestock transport incidents are declining, Pagnan noted. Nevertheless, when a hog truck rolls into the ditch and pigs are scattered about the Trans-Canada Highway, it makes for a sensational news item, Woods said. “When there is a livestock accident, it’s a much bigger story than a trailer full of toilet paper.” As an example, when a truck loaded with meat horses crashed on Deerfoot Trail in Calgary several years ago, the media and the public went berserk, Woods noted. “They had it all over the morning news. People were stopping their breakfast, hooking up their trailer and driving to save the horses.” Since images on the evening news or on YouTube of a horse limping across a highway or a sow trapped under a trailer are so powerful, it’s hard to explain to the public that trucking companies and the livestock sector are making progress on animal welfare and safety, Pagnan said. “When these incidents happen, they’re complicated. They involve many stakeholders and I do think it’s difficult to tell the entire story,” she said. “But it is something that many in the industry are working on, getting the message out on everything that is involved in these incidents and everything that is involved in the response.”

WORLD BRIEFS BIOTECHNOLOGY

Tomato genome project bears fruit LONDON, U.K. (Reuters) — An international team of scientists has cracked the genetic code of the domesticated tomato and its wild ancestor, an achievement that should help breeders identify the genes needed to develop tastier and more nutritious varieties. The full genome sequence of a tomato breed known as Heinz 1706, and a draft sequence for its closest wild relative Solanum pimpinellifolium, were published in Nature on June 6. The sequences should help researchers find the links between certain tomato genes and the characteristics they determine, and will also extend scientists’ understanding of how genetic and environmental factors affect the health of a crop.

Efficiency can help feed the world MILAN, Italy (Reuters) — The world can feed itself with less food output than previously forecast if it turns to sustainable farming, cuts waste and stops excessive consumption, the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization said. If current consumption patterns persist, the world will need to raise food output by 60 percent by 2050 from 2005-07 levels to feed a population expected to rise to 9 billion from about 7 billion now, according to FAO estimates. It is possible to feed the population with a smaller rise in food output than that, the FAO said in a policy report ahead of a sustainable development summit in Rio de Janeiro. On the production side, agricultural and food systems should reduce their negative environmental impacts, including soil and water depletion as well as greenhouse gas emissions. On the consumption side, people need to cut food losses and waste, which amount to 1.3 billion tonnes a year, roughly one third of world food production for human consumption, the report said. The Rio+20 meeting on June 20-22 is expected to attract more than 50,000 participants. MARKETS

Gov’t consults on ag report release times WASHINGTON, D.C. (Reuters) — The government has asked farmers, traders and futures exchanges for ideas on when it should release potentially market-moving agricultural reports, such as crop forecasts, now that commodity markets are open nearly all day. It could result in the first change in the U.S. Department of Agriculture reports in nearly two decades. It asked for public comment on five questions, including “What is your preferred time of day ... for report release?” and “Why is this time preferred?” as well who would be adversely affected by changing the time of release for the reports. USDA traditionally published most of its reports in the early morning or in mid-to-late afternoon when U.S. exchanges were closed. But the Chicago Board of Trade has now adopted a 21-hour trading day to offset the 22-hour day inaugurated by the rival InterContinental Exchange.

The grand reserve champion market lamb prize went to 13-year-old Brooke Anderson of the Irricana Sheep Club. The 109 lb. lamb sold for $11.75 per lb. to Crossview Farm of Crossfield, Alta. Brooke also had the reserve champion pen of three lambs.

The old-fashioned skills of cooking and sewing continue to be popular projects among 4-H members. Ivy Foster of the Goldenrod Multi-Club at Airdrie won best pie and overall grand champion foods award.

YOUTH | 4-H ON PARADE

Youth gain confidence in agriculture through participation in 4-H clubs BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

For many rural youth, 4-H projects provide confidence to pursue a future in agriculture. Canada’s largest event, 4-H on Parade, brings together clubs from across the Calgary region to display their best livestock, life skills projects and compete in judging skills. Held from May 31 to June 2, the event wraps up with the annual market lamb and steer sale where youngsters can receive three times the market value for their livestock projects. For Sarah Nixdorff of Airdrie, Alta., those good prices and the education she has gained in the six years of 4-H has her considering a career in animal science when she

graduates next year. A member of the Irricana Beef Club, she was awarded grand champion steer for a Hereford cross steer that fetched $9.50 per pound. The Calgary Stampede was the buyer. The steer was entered in eight different shows this year and won every one. The sale on June 2 meant goodbye to her silver coloured beef project. “He’s going today. It’s a bit emotional because I spent every day with him but that’s the cattle business,” she said. The Nixdorff family has had a good couple of years. Her cousins won the grand and reserve champion 4-H steers last year and her father, Rob Nixdorff, won grand champion Hereford bull at the Calgary bull sale. In addition, she

found herself competing against her twin sister, Jenna. “It’s not like just Sarah won, we all won,” said Jenna. Madison Sibbald of Calgary won the reserve steer. She is a member of the Jumping Pound Beef Club and sold her 1,237 lb. steer for $4.50 per lb. to Highwood Ranch, Calgary. The grand champion market lamb was entered by 13-year-old Spencer Scott of the Irricana Sheep club. The 114 lb. lamb sold for $9.25 per lb. to John Deere Agro. The grand reserve champion market lamb went to 13-year-old Brooke Anderson of the Irricana Sheep Club. The 109 lb. lamb sold for a record $12 per lb. to Crossview Farm of Crossfield, Alta. Brooke, who lives at Crossfield also had the

reserve champion pen of three lambs. Two sold for $8 per lb. and third fetched $6 per lb. This was her second year in 4-H and she already plans to invest her sales receipts in more lambs. Each year, clubs also agree to take turns raising animals to support charity projects of their choosing. The Bow Valley Multi Club raised and sold a 106 lb. market lamb. It sold to Balzac Meats for $20 per lb., exceeding last year’s price by $5. The proceeds were donated to the War Amps Child Amputee Association. The Balzac 4-H Beef Club raised the charity steer. It weighed 1,447 lb. and sold for $6 per lb. to Daylight Energy of Calgary. The Canadian Cancer Society was the selected charity.

South Africa’s farmland reforms hit the rocks Ownership problems | Because black farmers don’t own the land, they face problems getting bank loans SENEKAL, South Africa (Reuters) — South Africa’s plans to undo the wrongs of apartheid by returning land seized from native blacks is embodied in the life of Koos Mthimkhulu. He was born on a white-owned farm in 1955 and attended a school set up by white farmers to give him just enough education for a life as a field hand. A short childhood gave way to decades of milking cows, driving tractors and plowing fields for poverty-level wages. When white minority rule ended in 1994, the new democratic government made it a priority to return land to those dispossessed. It wrote the idea into the constitution and made a plan that would make people like Mthimkhulu independent farmers. Yet the practice under the African National Congress has fallen far short of targets, and disappointment is stocking up new risks of social, racial and economic crisis to threaten the democracy that was intended to save South Africa from disaster. The post-apartheid government selected Koos Mthimkhulu for a program under which it would buy agricultural land from white farmers and turn parcels over to blacks who had claims on the territory. It offered him money, advice and moral support. Greying at the temples and at ease tending a herd of cattle and tilling fields, he now grows corn and sunflowers in the central flatlands of the Free State, no longer tethered to white bosses. He is proud of his substantial 1,200 acre holding, of which about a quarter is suitable for crops. But Mthimkhulu does not own the land; the government does. And in all likelihood, without ownership, he seems destined for the failure that has hit many like him who thought themselves among a fortunate few to get land. “I struggled for a long time and I can’t get a loan from banks because I can’t use the farm for security,” he said in the local Sesotho language. That is not the only drawback small farmers face: South Africa’s land reform ideals are being crushed by government mismanagement and the economics of pitching the new, small-scale operations into competition with the industrial-size farms that have made the country a global agricultural powerhouse, exporting billions of dollars in farm products. Most food is grown at places like the Royal Dawn orange farm, 300 kilometres northeast of Mthimkhulu’s homestead, in Mpumalanga province. There, hundreds of acres of carefully maintained citrus groves are crisscrossed by a network of pipes for automated irrigation. Each row of trees is bar coded, enabling the farm manager, a white man like the owners, to keep computerized track of fertilizer needs and use. The system allows supermarkets in export markets as far away as Beijing to trace an individual box of oranges back to the row from which they were picked by a black labourer. Other African states are even recruiting South Africa’s big com-

Small outfits can barely compete. The origins of the problem the ANC has tried to resolve lie deep. A century ago, under British rule, South Africa’s 1913 Natives’ Land Act set aside 87 percent of all land for the small white minority and 13 percent for black Africans. Two decades of land reform under the ANC, which this year seems set to retain president Jacob Zuma as the leader who will continue its oneparty dominance at elections in 2014, have done little to change those land ownership ratios set 100 years ago. Plans drawn up under the first black president, Nelson Mandela, were meant to hand over 30 percent of commercial farmland to blacks by 2014. This land had been almost exclusively owned by whites, who form less than a tenth of the population. The government says it has achieved only eight percent, but insists it still wants to reach 30 percent in two years. One reason for that has been its reluctance to act by force. Its “willing buyer, willing seller” program means the pace is set by white farmers agreeing to trade. Striking deals at market rates is often elusive, raising allegations of corruption in the setting of prices and disposal of state funds. And even when farms are returned to black residents, many are doomed to fail. Real estate developers and factory farming businesses, mostly owned by whites, may then step in and buy the land back, reversing progress toward the land target. “Restitution needed to be done, but something went terribly wrong with the implementation,” said Theo de Jager, vice-president of AgriSA, which represents the agriculture

industry and principally large whiteowned businesses. Echoing officials at the Department of Land Reform, who say most reallocated farmland is unproductive, de Jager said: “I visited more than 200 farms that have been transferred over the last two and half years and I haven’t been on one that is a commercial success. None of those farmers are making a profit. And if it is not profitable, it’s not sustainable.” Land is at the heart of racial injustice in South Africa and has the potential to dent a democracy where 40 percent of the population of 50 million lives in rural areas. There is no crisis yet, but without action now, it will grow as a threat. “The land issue is a symbol for blacks of everything that has been lost to whites,” said James L. Gibson, a professor of government at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, who has studied the issue intensively in South Africa. Gibson sees land reform as a time bomb, given the large number of the black majority who feel they have been victimized and the glacial pace at which land is being returned. One of his surveys indicates that an overwhelming majority of blacks feel land was unfairly taken by the colonizers and that current white holders have no right to the land today. “The ANC is fearful on many fronts that a demagogue is going to come

along and present a serious challenge to the establishment. I don’t think that it will spontaneously erupt. It has to be sparked by a leader,” he said. The ANC this year expelled the most prominent voice calling for an expropriation of white-owned farms: its youth leader, Julius Malema. His demands had raised the prospect of a seizure of white-owned farmland, like that in neighbouring Z imbabwe, which many argue ruined a thriving agricultural economy. Land has gone fallow and the breadbasket of Africa has been pushed to the brink of famine But even with Malema sent to the political wilderness, other prominent voices are calling for a seizure of white-owned land, including Irvin Jim, general secretary of the powerful metalworkers trade union NUMSA. Reform target set One of the ANC’s policy priorities for this year is completing its latest policy paper on land reform. A draft released last year said the goal “is to ensure that all land reform farms are 100 percent productive” and to meet the 30 percent redistribution target by 2014. Lechesa Tsenoli, land reform deputy minister, said complex claims to ancestral property slowed the process. Relatives often disagreed over which of the three types of available settlement they wanted, he added: receiving the land that belonged to their forebears, receiving alternative land or cash. “It will be impossible until we start doing things that we think we will solve it,” he said. “The issue is potentially explosive.” Seeking to make good on commitments to make reallocated farms a success, South Africa offers one of the strongest farm advisory agencies on the continent.

With hundred of offices in every province, the Agricultural Research Council helps match crops to local soil, gives advice on irrigation and helps diversify the livestock gene pool. But co-ordination among government agencies can be poor. The land reform department is separate from the agriculture ministry. Other local bodies, seed suppliers and specialized financiers are often not co-ordinated. And the ARC may not be notified of small farmers needing help until it is too late. “If you are not in the market with the right product at the right time, you are not really going to make it,” said Shadrack Moephuli, ARC’s president and chief executive officer. “If all the role players are not there f o r y o u a t t h e r i g h t t i m e, a n d sequenced appropriately, you are likely to lose out.” If beneficiaries can make their way through financing, seed purchases, planting, growing and mechanized harvesting, they often fail to find a place to sell their product. The window shuts quickly for success or failure, and one poor harvest can be enough to bankrupt a new farmer. Some want the government to set up co-operatives to help the beneficiaries of its land reform program get better prices on seeds and fertilizers and share costs of machinery. Moephuli said the government should also keep costs down when it buys land to redistribute and not rush to give it away to people illequipped to work it profitably. “Farming is not an emotional thing,” he said. “It is a business, and a very complex business.” Mthimkhulu has learned that lesson all too well. He fears the government grants that got him started may soon dry up. “It’s hard to make it as a farmer without the right support,” he said. “Without the right help, we will fail.”

AGRONOMY | SCOUTING FOR DISEASE

Good moisture brings out the fungi Watch carefully | Crops, fungus both thrive in good moisture conditions BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Field moisture in abundance produces two things: crops with lots of foliage and diseases that thrive within the protective blanket the plants provide. After several seasons of above average rainfall, the Prairies has more than enough plant disease inoculum to go around. Cereal growers rarely treat for leaf disease because of low grain prices and marginal crop margins on wheat, barley and oats that persisted through the 1990s. Cereals were becoming a low cost rotation where producers could mitigate some cost of production risk. Times have changed since 2008. Markets have shifted and despite higher fertilizer prices, farmers are seeing the benefits of taking care of the big flag leaves. “When you reduce the green leaf area of the upper canopy, you cut into the amount of photosynthate that is available for grain filling and plant development,” said Brian Beres of Agriculture Canada in Lethbridge. Research from the late 1980s to 2004 shows the top two leaves in wheat and the top three in barley are critical to yield. More producers can see the value of treating their crops, even for small levels of fungal presence to protect their yields. The tight rotations of canola, cereal, canola, cereal aren’t far enough apart to allow nature to use its pathogens and other environmental factors to build up inoculum. Beres said producers must take a rotational and strategic approach to their fungicide applications, the way they do with weed management. “I wouldn’t recommend prophylactic use of fungicides. Do you have an issue after scouting the field?” Kelly Turkington of the Lacombe

2012

Stripe rust and leaf spot diseases, such as tan spot and septoria in wheat and scald and net blotch in barley have expanded outside their traditional realm of influence in Manitoba. | FILE PHOTO Research Centre has also looked at the effect of leaf disease on cereals in Western Canada. Stripe rust and leaf spot diseases, such as tan spot and septoria in wheat and scald and net blotch in barley, have expanded outside their traditional realm of influence in Manitoba, Minnesota, the Dakotas and eastern Saskatchewan. Alberta Agriculture work last year showed that producers who applied fungicides on cereals in the flag leaf stage in cases where disease was

present, realized good returns. Turkington said the most effective applications are made after optimal weed control is applied. “There is a temptation to tank mix the fungicide (with the herbicide). It saves a pass. But it doesn’t provide the protection for the upper canopy,” he said. Faye Dokken Bouchard of Saskatchewan Agriculture said trying to apply herbicide and fungicide at the same time causes either the weed or the disease control to be less effective.

“Timing for both is what gets the best results. Will your gain be greater than the cost of the second application?” said the agrologist. Manitoba Agriculture’s Holly Derksen said diseases such as stripe rust are moving further north. “We’ve already had a call from a Dauphin area producer concerned the rust (on his winter wheat) might be stripe rust. We monitor the U.S. rust reporting and it is two weeks ahead of usual. But many (Manitoba) crops are too. We will wait and see, but whether

it is home grown or it comes in on the wind, the trend is to scout and treat as you find it,” said Derksen. Dokken Bouchard said the winter of 2011 lacked a “nice, safe blanket over the fields. We haven’t confirmed (stripe rust) in Saskatchewan yet, so we’ll see what the environment did to it over the winter. “We’ll have to see what comes in on the wind (from the U.S.),” she said. When it comes to fungal pests in cereals, few strike as much fear as stripe rust. “It’s been a serious pest around the world. And we have had outbreaks. Last year was especially serious in winter wheat,” said Turkington. Most winter wheat varieties are considered susceptible to stripe rust with the exceptions of Moats, Peregrine, Sunrise and McClintock. AC Radiant was thought to be resistant, but the summer of 2011 showed that stripe rust can overcome the Yr10 gene that has protected Radiant in the past. Several spring wheat varieties are considered resistant. Seed treatments reduce the infections when combined with foliar applications of fungicides. Green bridges between cereal weeds and previous cereal crops are critical to avoiding overwintering of stripe rust, says Beres. “Foxtail barley is a real problem. Its control is critical to keeping leaf diseases like stripe rust under control,” he said. Applications of fungicides at the first sign of stripe rust are effective, but producers need to scout their crops, he said. A new race of stripe rust hit Alberta winter cereal producers hard last year. At the same time, researchers were punching back. Beres and his colleagues made later fall, foliar applications on winter wheat in 2010. “We were pretty skeptical,” he said of trials at Lethbridge and Saskatchewan locations at Scott and Melfort. “We got significantly higher yields on the fall treatments,” he said. He said combined with seed treatment of Bayer’s Raxil and an application of Proline, the yield in 2011 more than covered the cost of treatment. “As it should. There was good value in it, but it’s too late for this season,” he said.

AGRONOMY | FIELD MANAGEMENT

If foxtail moves into a field, look for other issues Check for moisture, saline | Many fields now thick with foxtail BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

If producers are dealing with foxtail barley, there’s more going on than just a new weed. “Foxtail barley growing in a field usually means that there’s something happening in that field that’s restricting the growth of whatever crop is supposed to be there,” said Elaine Moats, regional crop specialist with Saskatchewan Agriculture. The perennial weed is native to North America and a wild relative of domestic barley. It is flourishing this year in parts of the Prairies, mainly for two reasons: high soil moisture and soil that is naturally saline. Two years of high moisture have brought salt to the soil surface, which has created areas prone to foxtail barley infestation. Moats said southeastern Saskatchewan and parts of Manitoba are seeing a good crop of foxtail barley. Prolonged excessive moisture and saline soil have been good for germinating the bunch grass, which is known for its tolerance of extreme environmental conditions. Many gardeners beautify their beds with the silvery heads that blow in the breeze. “Mother Nature abhors a vacuum,” Moats said. “She always wants to put something on the ground to cover it up and protect it. Because of that, we have a good seed bank of foxtail barley around. The seeds can blow around in the wind and it can establish very rapidly.” Foxtail barley particularly tolerates salinity and is able to grow where annual crops such as wheat or barley can’t survive. Moats said it becomes a land management issue. “In annual cropping and continuous cropping, you can move the salts up and down in the soil profile, but you don’t make them go away,” she said. “So you’re managing where they are in the soil profile so you can have successful crop production. On fields that are very prone to salinity or have high levels of moisture, moving salts underneath the soil surface, sometimes you have to go to perennial cropping just to use that moisture. You’re using the plant as a pump, to pump water out from a lower depth and then leaving the salts down at that lower depth.

ABOVE: Young foxtail barley grows as a bunch grass and is best controlled in the fall before entering winter dormancy. LEFT: Where crop competition is scarce, or environmental conditions like salinity or drought allow, foxtail barley can quickly establish. | FILE PHOTOS

“The degree that you can manage soil moisture then allows you to also manage the plant material that grows, including foxtail barley.” One control option is to graze the weed early in the year before seed heads are formed. “It’s very palatable to livestock and weakens the plants so that you get a chance to then establish other forages in those areas,” she said. “Managing the time of grazing on

some of those foxtail barley areas in pasture situations has actually proven to be one of best ways of managing foxtail barley and eventually kill it out.” Foxtail barley is a weak, short-lived perennial that is not competitive with other species. Weakening the plant makes it easier for other plants to move in and compete with it. Seedlings are much easier to kill than a plant that’s two or three years old. “They have an established root sys-

tem and it’s not enough to kill the top growth. You have to kill the root system as well,” said Bob Blackshaw, a weed scientist and researcher with Agriculture Canada. Spring is the time to focus on killing s e e d l i n g s a n d c o nt ro l l i n g t o p growth, while established plants should be targeted after harvest, which is when herbicides move down the plant along with carbohydrates and sugars.

Continued long-term problems with foxtail barley suggest the land needs to be used for something else, such as perennial pasture, livestock feed or a hay field. Moats said saline soil can gradually be reclaimed through zero till, continuous cropping and planting crops that have more salt tolerance. “(It’s) trying to create that microclimate on the soil surface through zero till by not stirring things up because as you stir up the soil you cause more water to move up to the soil surface through evaporation and pulling the water (and salt) up behind it,” she said. “So minimizing tillage, trying to keep something growing on that land and letting Mother Nature help you through rainfall and snowmelt to leach the salts down.” A faster solution is to plant perennial forage for about three years. “These fields usually have a good level of nutrients in the field in terms of nitrogen, phosphorous and so on.” Moats said the shimmery weed does have a silver lining. “It does help to use soil moisture and help to reclaim those soils,” she said. “It’s hard for producers to appreciate that stuff, though.”

WEED OF THE WEEK: FOXTAIL BARLEY Wild, or foxtail, barley is a pest that has benefited from the movement to reduced tillage. Foxtail barley is a prolific seed producer and a growing problem for producers across Western Canada. Hordeum jubatum is also known as wild barley or by a series of names that compare the weed’s bushy awns

to the tails of a number of mammals. Foxtail barley is often confused with green foxtail due to their similar names, rather than appearance. The latter has a compact, dense seed head, while foxtail barley has long awns that look more like a brush, among other differences. The wet and unseeded soils of

Saskatchewan and Manitoba have suffered more than most from this pest, leaving the 2012 growing season to control the growing problem of this plant, especially in cereal crops. Foxtail barley has shallow, fibrous roots and relies on seeds to spread. Saline tolerant, the weed will take over areas where tractors and spray-

ers fear to tread. While palatable to livestock early in the season, the spiky awns quickly make the plant immune to grazing for the rest of the year. Tillage is effective for control. Fall spraying of glyphosate works well for control. Ahead of seeding, the addition of four grams of tribenuron as a soluble granule to glyphosate pro-

vides suppression. In-season grassy weed products for broadleaf crops, such as quizalofop, are effective for suppression from three leaves to three tillers. In pastures, propyzamide is applied to soil with high water rates in forage stands ahead of freeze up to deal with the pest in the spring.

ORGANIC NUMBERS UP | WHERE AND WHY

Farm numbers dip, but organic farms up: Statistics Canada ORGANIC MATTERS

BRENDA FRICK

ccording to the Report on Agriculture, released by Statistics Canada in May 2012, the number of certified organic operations has continued to grow across Canada. Organic farms numbered 3,713 in 2011, which was 1.8 percent of Canadian farm operations overall. This is up from 1.5 percent in 2006 and 0.9 percent in 2001. Growth in organic operations has slowed, with an increase of four percent from 2006 to 2011. The increase in the previous five-year period was 67 percent. But even meagre growth in organic farm numbers is impressive when you consider the overall trend in agriculture. Statistics Canada recorded a decline from 2006 to 2011 in total farm numbers that was consistent across all provinces, and a decline in every new census since 1941. The Prairies are home to about 40 percent of the organic farmers in Canada. According to Statistics Canada, there were 1,015 organic operations in Saskatchewan in 2011, 169 in Manitoba, and 290 in Alberta. Saskatchewan is a traditional leader in organic production, in both farm numbers and farm size. Lately, the number of organic farms in Saskatchewan is down 14 percent, while the total number of farms in the province is down 17 percent. Why is Saskatchewan no longer leading the organic boom? Statistics Canada reports that in Saskatchewan 98 percent of organic operations grow field crops or hay. The global recession hit organic commodity markets hard in the United States and Europe. Organic prices are on the rise again in 2012, but the damage may be done. Comparison with Manitoba and Alberta shows that commodity prices don’t tell the whole story. All the prairie provinces have high percentages of farms growing field crops and hay (88 percent in Alberta and 91 percent in Manitoba). Manitoba shares Saskatchewan’s losses, with a 14 percent loss of organic farms and a 17 percent loss of farms overall. Alberta, on the other hand, is a bright spot for organics in 2011. Organic farm operations increased 26 percent. This is especially encouraging in contrast to a 13 percent loss in farming operations overall in Alberta.

Becky Lipton, executive director of Organic Alberta, suggests Alberta organic farmers have more options in terms of off-farm jobs over the winter. During the period of poor markets, Alberta organic farmers headed to the oil fields or to work in the bush. Another answer lies in the weather. The unprecedented flooding of 2010 and 2011 prevented seeding of many acres in Saskatchewan and Manitoba. This may have been the last straw for producers already suffering from poor markets. Much of the growth in organic farm numbers is now fuelled by Eastern Canada. Statistics Canada shows that organic operations are up 14 percent

in Ontario and 26 percent in Quebec over the last five years. Quebec, with 963 organic operations, is rapidly gaining on Saskatchewan. Organic industry statistics suggest Quebec may already have surpassed Saskatchewan in organic farm numbers. According to Statistics Canada, organic operations represent 3.5 percent of the all farm operations in Quebec. This is nearly double the Canadian average. Like Quebec, British Columbia has provincial organic regulation, and an emphasis on horticulture. But B.C.’s farm numbers have not increased dramatically since 2006. Much of Quebec’s growth in organ-

ics comes from maple syrup and herb, spice and garlic production. Nationally, the growth of organics is encouraging. For many in Eastern Canada, organics are booming. Personally, and locally, I find it hard to put a positive spin on a 14 percent loss. It may be less than the provincial average, but it’s still a severe and personal tragedy for many of those involved. For those who remain, I congratulate you on your dedication, innovation, and perhaps even stubbornness. May the next five years be better.

CHICAGO, Illinois — Healthy profits from healthy food ingredients are driving the latest move by biotechnology and food companies to produce new crops. BASF and Cargill have added omega 3 fatty acids to their stables of crop products. “We’re excited to be working towards offering farmers another crop (product),” said Scott Kay, business director for BASF in Canada. Kay said the partnership with Cargill means the German-based chemical and biotech giant, BASF, will be partnered with the largest food and agricultural products company on the planet. Chris Mallett heads research and development at Cargill. “The market for healthy food products continues to grow rapidly and globally. The demand for sustainable sources of products such as oils that can reduce mortality from cardiovascular disease is significant and important to a healthy society,” said Mallett at a recent BASF meeting in Chicago. Peter Eckes, BASF president of plant sciences, said canola is a big focus for the company in terms of plant biotechnology. “We are working with Monsanto on yield and with Cargill to create a new product that will provide the food industry a sustainable sources of

omega 3 (oils) and (farmers) a premium crop for their business(es),” he said. Eckes said the American Food and Drug Administration has approved the health claim that EPA/DHA omega 3 fatty acids reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Food processors can therefore make that label claim on food packaging. “Foods like these have the potential to save millions of lives,” he said. The World Health Organization says 16 million people die each year from largely preventable cardiovascular disease. WHO recommends people have a 500 milligram daily intake of DHA/ EPA omega 3 oils, but says the actual consumption is well below 200 mg. Health market growing The omega 3 industry association, GOED, says the healthy oils in the form of dietary supplements market passed $1 billion annually in 2010 and continues to grow at about 12 percent. Cargill’s Mallett said the market needs products that can deliver plant based versions of the natural source that comes from fish oils. Cargill does produce a flax omega 3 enriched canola oil and shortening. However, for the farmer, a high yielding, biotic and abiotic stress tolerant canola crop that can be grown successfully in all northern North American regions should be

quite appealing, says Nevin McDougall, head of crop protection for BASF in North America. Bruce Holub of the University of Guelph says despite a few grams of A linolenic acid omega 3 being consumed by many North Americans every day, the plant sources for that, including flax which is high in ALA, do not contain the DHA/EPA that are critical building blocks for brain and eye health. Eckes said the process of identifying the genes that can express the EPA/DHA products in canola plants has been successful and the company is focusing efforts on the most promising gene combinations that produce sustainable and commercially viable levels of the acids. “We intend to be in the marketplace with this by the end of the decade,” said Eckes. Cargill and BASF aren’t alone in their thinking. Dow’s Nexera canola is an omega 9 containing oil, while that company has taken Martek Biosciences as a development partner for plant based DHA. Monsanto is working with Solae, which is a DuPont and Bunge owned company. Last year, the Australian government’s science research arm created a public-private partnership to develop a new canola with omega 3 DHA and EPA content. Iowa’s Green Plains Renewable Energy is also interested in producing omega 3 acids from algae.

FOOD SECURITY | UPRISINGS

Food insecurity sparks conflict Middle Eastern governments are making food self sufficiency a priority BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Food and its availability played a key role in the uprisings that have wracked many Arab countries, says a top Syria-based researcher. Mahmoud Solh, director general of the International Centre for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA), said in a recent analysis that the combination of food issues and widespread youth unemployment were key ingredients behind political uprisings in Libya, Egypt and Yemen that overthrew dictatorships. Battles continue to rage in the midst of a Syrian uprising and a government crackdown. Solh noted that the 2008 increase in commodity prices helped start the process across the region, triggering street riots against dictatorial governments. Most Arab countries face serious food insecurity issues. “Except for Libya, where food insecurity is moderate, the countries that are currently undergoing upheaval have serious to alarming food insecurity situations,” he said. ICARDA is part of an international research network that is supported by Canada through the Canadian International Development Agency and the International Development Research Centre. Solh was scheduled to speak in Ottawa at an IDRC event in May, but it was cancelled because he did not receive a Canadian visa in time. However, during an e-mail exchange he for warded the main points he had planned to make. He said the Middle East and North Africa make up the world’s largest food importing area. Poverty is rampant, and 70 percent of the poor are involved in agriculture. The region is also heavily dependent on wheat imports because

Average wheat consumption per year is 135 kilograms compared to 80 kg in North America. As a result, the region is highly sensitive to commodity price increases. “This is the main reason why the sudden increase in food prices in 2008 caused street riots in Egypt, Morocco and Yemen,” Solh wrote. Added to the increased poverty caused by higher food prices is the presence of educated but unemployed young people. “Unemployment of a large portion of the young population has been identified as potential fuel for conflicts and is one major reason behind the upheavals that resulted in what has been termed the Arab spring,” he wrote. Solh cited Cornell University research that concluded food insecurity “both contributes to and is caused by human conflict and is most likely to trigger conflict in situa-

tions where other grievances already exist.” However, he also argued that commodity price increases have had a positive side, spurring governments in the Middle East and North Africa to recognize the connection and to conclude that their politically dangerous food insecurity situation can be addressed by more investment in under-performing local agriculture. “The global food crisis has had an important and positive impact in the region,” he wrote. “Governments are now placing investment in agriculture high in their national priorities in an effort to ensure food self sufficiency.” Solh said ongoing research is helping give area farmers and governments tools for increasing production, including work on reducing production costs, more efficient water use and the diversification and intensification of farm production systems in the face of climate change.

BEES | INSECTICIDE BLAMED

Bee deaths prompt call for chemical ban BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

David Schuit received a call from his son last week just before appearing in front of the House of Commons’ agriculture committee with other beekeepers. Schuit, who owns a bee operation in Ontario’s Huron County, was there to complain about a popular grain and oilseed treatment chemical that he says is killing thousands of bees. “My boy just called me before I came into this meeting and he just about cried because he’s in the yard and they’re all dead, they’re dying,” he told MPs. “I just don’t know what to do. We love our business, this boy is 17 and he loves it. He just doesn’t know what to do.” The Ontario beekeepers told MPs that the problem is the insecticide product group neonicotinoids, which nearby corn and soybean pro-

ducers use to inoculate their seeds. The beekeepers argued that the chemical should be banned, at least temporarily, until independent scientific tests conclude whether it is responsible for high bee mortality rates on their farms. They also said government scientists should do the testing rather than chemical company scientists. “We want to see this chemical banned,” Schuit told New Democrat MP Ruth Ellen Brosseau. He said it is banned for use in Europe, and the chemical companies that manufacture and sell it do not want that debate to happen in Canada. “They know what it’s doing, they don’t want us here today, they don’t want you to know.” The young rookie MP from Quebec, who is her party’s deputy agriculture critic, said beekeepers’ stories of thousands of bees dying from chemical poisoning was difficult to hear.

“I can’t imagine what you’re going through,” she said. “Heartbreaking. I was almost in tears listening to your story.” NDP agriculture critic Malcolm Allen raised the issue in the House June 5, demanding that the federal government provide help for the affected beekeepers while research into the cause is underway. Agriculture minister Gerry Ritz said the allegation about the impact of neonicotinoids on bee colonies was new to him, but the government would investigate. “There are reports from the United States and other areas that this type of action has happened,” he said. “There are studies that are ongoing. Certainly we will look at those. We will begin our own studies and get to the bottom of this as quickly as we can.” Brosseau said there should be a one-year moratorium on use of the chemical until its effects are understood.

Evolving Rural Communities From the late 1960s on, Jack Stabler and Rose Olfert undertook a series of studies of 598 communities in Saskatchewan. By that time many of the province’s communities that had originated as tiny and widely dispersed grain delivery points were in serious decline. Saskatchewan offered a perfect laboratory for the study of the process of the evolution of a trade centre system, compressed into a very short time period from European settlement to rapid consolidation. Like Iowa, central Germany and inland China where similar early studies had been undertaken, the province could be characterized as a ‘uniform plain’ with an economy based on primary agricultural production. The study of Saskatchewan’s trade centre hierarchy became a career passion for, especially, Jack Stabler who personally visited most of the 598 communities and talked with many, many local administrators, mayors, reeves and business people. Based on these first-hand observations, as well as extensive and detailed secondary data, the 598 communities were classified into six levels reflecting their trade centre functions, at five points in time—1961, 1981, 1990, 1995, and 2001. The process of rapid consolidation was vividly illustrated and community leaders, policy makers and businesses developed a keen interest in the outcomes of these studies for planning purposes. Since the vast majority of rural communities exhibited steady decline, they were often not enthusiastic about release of the latest classification. The last of the five studies turned its focus from the individual ‘dots on the map’ to the regions that had evolved as surrounding rural populations increasingly depended on the largest urban centres for employment and services provision. In the early 21st century, in a fleeting flirtation with municipal amalgamation, the provincial government expressed a special interest in these functional economic regions. Today, Health Districts, School Districts and Enterprise regions (among others) attest to the fundamental relevance of the research results.

ANIMAL WELFARE | FARM REALITY

Give public real farm story Animals are commodities | Expert urges producers to explain realities of food production BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

SASKATOON — Wes Jamison said he knows the image livestock groups would like to portray. “It’s a painfully white mom and dad with three kids walking across a misty farm on a spring morning in Ontario. ‘Trust the farmer.’ That doesn’t work when it comes to animals,” said the professor of communications at Palm Beach Atlantic University. One video of animal abuse can erase any positive impression that pastoral images create, he said in an interview at the June 6 International Symposium on Beef Cattle Welfare. Producers should instead focus on the animals they raise and the fact that animals convert parts of nature into useful commodities. “A cow is a living repository of organic nutrients that we can’t get anywhere else, and you have to learn to communicate that so that

agriculture can persist and endure.” Jamison said animal welfare activists have taken their cause to retailers, and McDonald’s, Burger King and Safeway have taken steps to procure meat from animals raised in a proscribed way. “Like water, the activists have decided to take the path of least resistance, and they’re going to the retailers,” he said.

“And retailers understand, as do the activists, that farmers are price takers and they always have been.” He predicts Canada will see more retail activism to mandate certain animal handling practices. However, he said asking producers to change production methods comes at a cost, and they should explain that cost to the retailers. “If I was a farmer in Canada or a farm organization, I would bring the children of the farms affected by this and I would have a photo op, where the children go to corporate headquarters of Tim Hortons talking about their lost future,” he said. “I guarantee the retailers will immediately reconsider their actions.” Jamison said if farmers lose the battle over food animal production in Canada, food sovereignty would also be lost. Regulations may force food production to other countries and cultures that are more accepting. He said animal agriculture must

also become transparent, which for him means completely transparent, showing people all practices. “Don’t give them the calf to pet and milk. Don’t make it seem like a petting zoo. It isn’t. Show them what goes on, on a dairy farm. If you don’t, the other side will and it will look grotesque.” In his speech he encouraged producers to consider the values and experiences they share with a largely urban consumer base. Consensus can be forged on the basis of those commonalities, which will marginalize fringe groups that oppose animal production for food. Without that sharing, the debate could become heavily moralized, as he said it has in the United States. “If your cat tastes like chicken, would you eat her? For me, the answer would be yes. Should that be a crime? Under what circumstances? Because that’s what we’re trying to do, we’re trying to criminalize, at least in the U.S., the production of commodity animals.”

FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — Beef contributes about $600 million to the British Columbia economy, according to preliminary results of a B.C. Cattlemen’s Association study. A profile of direct and indirect economic spinoffs to the province shows where the industry fits and how more benefits can be derived. Consulting firm MNP was commissioned by the cattle association to carry out the study. It released early results at the BCCA annual meeting held May 31 to June 2 in this northeastern B.C. community. “When you start articulating economic impacts, that can bring the whole industry together,” said consultant Andrew Raphael. The industry creates jobs and has social and environmental impacts, although this study is directed at specific economic spinoffs. The BSE crisis made producers realize they had to get value from every link in the food processing chain and that every sector, including ranchers, feedlots, and processors must work more closely, said Raphael. Further studies are expected to survey producers on size and type of herds, what percentage of income is derived from beef production, top annual expenditures, other jobs and retirement plans. Based on 2010 data, the study found more than $200 million in farm cash receipts, which represents three percent of the total Canadian beef industry. That figure represents eight percent of B.C. farm cash receipts. Since the study was based on 2010, it is expected those numbers would improve since live cattle prices have achieved near record levels since. As of July 2011, the herd totalled 650,000, including all beef and dairy animals. Dairy cattle were included in the study because calves and older animals from that sector eventually provide beef to the system. The province produced 260 million pounds of beef in 2010. The herd has declined and there are fewer producers than five years ago when there were about 7,000 cattle operations. The most recent Statistics Canada release reported about 4,000 cattle operations. As of July 2011, the provincial breakdown found 60 percent were cow-calf operations, 17 percent were backgrounders, five percent were feedlots and the rest were dairy farms. The study is also analyzing contributions and spinoffs to other businesses like veterinarians and farm supply centres. Employee wages in a small community also need to be taken into account, and the beef sector pays about $27 million in federal tax.

CATTLE CONDITIONS | RESEARCH

Study shows producers’ concerns for cattle Animal welfare research | Producer views in line with public on stresses that affect livestock BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

SASKATOON — Cattle producers view animal welfare in much the same way as the public, a study has found, and that bodes well for their ability to maintain public trust. David Fraser, an animal welfare researcher at the University of British Columbia, and his colleagues, did in-depth interviews with about 100 cattle producers in Western Canada, with results reported earlier this year. They were asked about what Fraser considers the three broad areas of concern people expressed about animal welfare: affective states such as pain, fear and contentment; basic health and functioning; and the ability of animals to live in a way that suits their natural behaviour. “I would say that beef cattle producers have a balance in their view of animal welfare that’s much more like that of the general public than we’d see in some other production sectors,” said Fraser in an interview after speaking at the International Symposium on Beef Cattle Welfare in Saskatoon June 6. He said pork producers, for example, often focus on disease prevention and performance issues, but cattle producers tend to consider a larger array of stresses that affect their livestock. Among those is “unavoidable stress” induced by branding, castration, dehorning, vaccination and weaning. Fraser said these stresses are also key animal welfare issues for people outside the industry. However, producers said there are no viable alternatives. They put more emphasis on “avoidable stress,” caused by over-stocking, use of electric prods, inadequate

Fraser and his team also identified disagreements among producers about various practices such as winter calving, length of time on heavy grain rations, whether auctions are a good way to sell cattle, and other issues. “There were some areas of disagreement. When should dehorning and

castration be done? Early? Or is it all right to leave it to later?” Fraser said collective action is needed to decide on best practices to resolve controversies within the industry so they can be explained and defended to the general public. “The codes of practice process is a step in that direction. We’ll see if it goes far enough,” he added, in reference to a new cattle code now being developed.

In the survey, cattle producers also identified “wrecks” as a concern — situations where producers fail to care for cattle because of finances, family or mental health issues. When these situations become public, animal welfare gets a black eye. “Cow-calf ranchers are very independent people. We appreciate this and admire this,” said Fraser. “We felt that there was scope for a

kind of collective action partly to preserve the good name of the industry and partly of course to help producers in distress.” Fraser said animal stressors identified by ranchers as unavoidable could be addressed through research into branding alternatives, genetics to allow greater use of polled breeds to eliminate dehorning and effective, simple pain medications for cattle.

FEDERAL PASTURES | GRAZING

Producers hope Saskatchewan grazing land remains for cattle Pastures to change hands | Canadian Cattlemen’s Association asks federal government for another year before divesting pastures BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

CYPRESS HILLS PROVINCIAL PARK, Sask. — Saskatchewan cattle producers say land currently held in the federal pasture system must remain in use for grazing no matter who ends up owning it. They have many concerns about Ottawa’s decision to shift responsibility for the pastures to the provinces and what will happen next. The federal government said in April it would hand over operation of the 85 former Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration pastures over the next six years. Sixty of the pastures are in Saskatchewan and the first five will be transferred to the province next year. Those five are to be identified by June 15. The province has said it intends to sell the pastures to the patrons or others and has set up a panel of five producers to advise agriculture minister Lyle Stewart. Panel members are chair Murray McGillivray, Hanley

rancher Allen Patkau, Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association president Mark Elford, Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association president Harold Martens and Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities president David Marit. A l a n Pa r k i n s o n , t h e f e d e r a l employee tasked with the divestiture, said five pastures were already proposed for transfer based on land tenure arrangements, the number of cattle and patrons affected, and impact on pasture staff. But the province had asked for detailed information on 15 pastures, and only two were on both governments’ lists. “I really don’t know which five will be transferred in 2013,” he said at the recent stock growers’ annual convention, where the pastures dominated discussion. Canadian Cattlemen’s Association president Martin Unrau told the convention that the association has asked the federal government to wait an extra year before the first divestiture. The CCA’s domestic agriculture

committee has said it isn’t opposed to the transfer as long as the land stays in pasture. However, Unrau said more consultation is required. Russ Gillanders of Kyle, Sask., uses the Monet federal pasture near his home. “I don’t know if the federal government realized to begin with how much of an impact this was going to have,” he said. “There’s been such little information sent out by anybody and to get information is tough.” Another producer noted that patrons tried to get financial information about their pasture and were told it was unavailable. And another, from the Rural Municipality of Reno, noted the impact the transfer could have in that area. There are four pastures totalling 350 sections and grazed by 5,000 head. Parkinson agreed the timelines are tight and uncertainty is high. “We need to hear from producer associations and patrons about the impact the short decision time frame will have on them,” he said. He added that giving the pastures to

the provinces is not as simple as it sounds and he understands producers’ frustration. “(Federal officials) were woefully underestimating all of the work that would entail,” he said. Other discussion focused on how the pastures would be valued and how producers could hang on to them. There is concern that large companies such as feeders and packers could outbid producers and run thousands of head of their own cattle on the land. Pat Hayes urged the advisory committee to tell the province to keep all options open to keep the land in patrons’ hands. “I’m not in favour of seeing it sold,” he said. “In my area 50 percent of the producers have 70 percent of their cows in (federal) pastures. We are going to lose a big chunk of our cowcalf industry.” Elford said he recognized there is no cookie cutter solution that will fit all the pastures, and Martens said that would be a recipe for disaster. Several other SSGA members urged everyone to work hard to keep

relationships strong, find leadership within their patron groups and not get caught up in fighting with each other if they want to make patron ownership or lease work. During discussion on a resolution about the issue, SSGA past president Calvin Knoss said the membership had to find some balance on a complicated issue. The organization has supported the province’s past decision to sell crown lease land with wildlife habitat. “In general we support private ownership and individual ownership and operation and I think I would like to see that as the first option,” he said. “I do recognize that the current patrons have some rights.” He suggested that environmental easements may have to be placed on the pastures if necessary to keep the land in agriculture. The membership passed a resolution supporting an orderly, fair and equitable transfer of the pastures to the province, which in turn would offer them for private ownership or lease.

Poor horse dental care causes weight loss, shortens life ANIMAL HEALTH

JAMIE ROTHENBURGER, DVM

orses require routine dental care to maintain function and prevent painful oral diseases. When performance deteriorates, whether it is abnormal head carriage, extreme sidedness or head tossing, look for a physical cause. The mouth is a good place to start. Horse teeth erupt continually throughout their lives. They are literally long in the tooth. The act of grazing and chewing gradually wears teeth down as new tooth material is exposed. About two to three millimetres are worn off teeth each year. At this rate, most horses have enough tooth length to last until the age of 25 to 30 years. Improper tooth wear causes the development of sharp points. Most domesticated horses are far removed from their native grassland environments and spend their time in small enclosures eating meals rather than grazing. Sharp points occur on the outside edge of the upper cheek teeth and

With time, these points sharpen and grow, cutting into the soft tissues of the cheek and tongue when the horse chews its food.

A vicious cycle ensues whereby the chewing motion is restricted to avoid pain, which subsequently enhances formation of larger points. The wounds on the inside of the

YaraVita

™

cheeks from points are painful and can result in head tossing and other undesirable behaviours. Signs your horse requires dental care include weight loss, decreased appetite and dropped feed. With really sharp points, some horses will eat hay before grain to pack their cheeks as a way to protect them. Occasionally, horses with dental disease seem fine when eating soft grass and concentrates but slurp and drop feed when eating hay. Large pieces of hay and whole grain in feces can indicate improper chewing. Facial swellings or foul breath can be a sign of tooth infections. Choose a veterinarian who has taken specific training in equine dentistry to care for your horse’s teeth. An over-zealous float by unqualified individuals can literally remove years off your horse’s life by shortening the amount of tooth left to erupt.

An examination of the incisor (front) and first premolar teeth can be performed on an awake, co-operative horse. This can give an indication of whether dental care is warranted but can miss problems located further back in the mouth. Standing sedation is given to ensure the safety of the horse, veterinarian and handlers. Only veterinarians are qualified to safely administer sedation and reversal drugs. A full mouth speculum is inserted between the incisors and opened to allow access to the cheek teeth. On an average-sized horse, I am up to my elbow to reach those back teeth. The speculum used to open the mouth is heavy and can cause serious injury to people and the horse if placed in an awake horse. Power-assisted dental tools and hand floats are commonly used to remove the sharp points along the cheek teeth. Power-assisted tools decrease the physical work required and the time needed to remove the sharp points. The less time a horse is sedated, the better. Balancing of the incisor teeth may be required. Wolf teeth, small premolar teeth, can be found in front of the large cheek teeth. Unfortunately for riding horses, these teeth occur in the same space occupied by the bit, often causing pain. Young horses should be examined for the presence of wolf teeth and have them removed before entering training. If possible, feed your horses on the ground so that their heads are in the most natural grazing position. This allows the lower jaw to slide forward and minimize the formation of sharp points at the back of the last teeth. Most horses require annual dental care. In those horses with severe abnormalities such as missing teeth, twice yearly appointments may be necessary. Routine dental care is just as important as proper hoof trimming to your horse’s welfare and performance.

FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — Silver Hills Ranch at Lumby, B.C., was named 2012 environmental stewards at the British Columbia Cattlemen’s Association convention. Rod and Nonie Hesketh moved to the ranch in 1962. Located 30 kilometres east of Vernon, the 2,000 acre property has been modernized and upgraded. The family recently completed its five year renewal of the environmental farm plan with more improvements coming. Grazing and water management have been critical to making the

property more productive for their Black Baldie herd and surrounding wildlife. Off stream watering sites are offered to cattle and a fencing program has protected creeks, improved grazing and enhanced wildlife habitat. The ranch was recently certified as salmon safe. The couple’s son Mark and his wife run the ranch full time, while their other son, Lee, helps part time and works as a stewardship co-ordinator managing the Farmland Riparian Interface Stewardship Program. The family supplements its farm income with timber harvesting. The BCCA’s convention was held in Fort St. John, B.C., May 31 to June 2.

WOLVES | LIVESTOCK LOSSES

Producers team with trappers to control wolves Gov’t steps up programs | Compensation is available but producers must be able to verify losses; must also monitor fields BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — Wolves have become ravenous troublemakers for British Columbia livestock producers. A cattle loss survey by the B.C. Cattlemen’s Association learned more than 2,700 head were lost and it is estimated at least 1,000 of those were due to predation in 2011. Disease, accidents, theft or hunters were responsible for the remainder. If losses can be verified as predator kills, ranchers are entitled to compensation. But for many who are losing more animals each year, that is not good enough. Too often, there are no remains, so there is no payment for the loss. “It is normal for us to have a one percent loss on the range but when we have lost 10 percent we know we have a predator problem,” said Agnes Wright of the Cariboo Stockmen’s Association. “Verification is all very well. Our problem is we have an overpopulation of wolves in the province,” she said. Wolves are moving across a wider area so more ranchers are affected. “I don’t think the verification is as important as getting rid of the damned wolves,” said Len Bawtree of Enderby in the North Okanagan region. The cattlemen passed several resolutions seeking an open hunting season in problem areas. Also, association manager Kevin Boon said a partnership has been set up with the B.C. Trappers Association. The cattle association has budgeted $10,000 per year for the next five years to the trapper program to provide incentives for them to kill the wolves. “I hope we can establish a good relationship with the B.C. trappers to help us manage the wildlife we’ve got out there,” he said. Most of the knowledge about the extent of the wolf problem is based

So far this year, B.C. livestock producers have been paid $40,000 for losses due to wolves. | FILE PHOTO on anecdotes, said Prince George trapper Mike Morris. There are no official population numbers. “They are sorely lacking in the last few years and they are very inaccurate, particularly with wolves. This provincial government has neglected things like that because it hasn’t been a high priority so our numbers vary quite a bit,” he said. “I see lots more on my trapline than I did years ago. There’s lots of produc-

ers who are losing a large percentage of their herd every year because of wolf predation, which is abnormal,” he said. Furthermore, there is little money to be made in trapping wolves. “We might average $80 if we are lucky. Maybe a good one will bring $100,” he said. The government has stepped up its control programs in recent years. Provincial conservation service

operators work with producers on p re d at o r c o n f l i c t c o m m i t t e e s throughout B.C. These are intended to train producers to verify kills and learn how to lessen the risk of predators taking cattle and sheep as well as estimate the extent of the problem. So far, 219 producers have been trained to verify kills. “We realize your losses and we take your concerns seriously,” said Darrell Ashworth, provincial co-ordinator of

the predator conflict prevention and response program. There has been an increase in the number of reported kills in the last 10 years. There were 113 claims for $34,000 in 2005-06 and so far this year $40,000 was paid. However, in reality the losses are much higher. There are B.C. producers who have lost a third of their herds to predators, said Ashworth. “There are guys who have stopped ranching altogether because they just can’t afford to feed the wolves,” he said. The response team is also training conservation officers on predator removal, and changes have been made to hunting regulations and removal of wolves from private property. People are also advised to take more precautions like adding lighting in farmyards, electric fencing or other scare devices. Livestock and poultry should be kept locked inside a barn or coop at night if a wolf is in the area. Regularly counting livestock is important in large pastures or areas with heavy cover where dead livestock could remain unnoticed. It is not unusual for livestock producers who don’t regularly count their herd to suffer substantial losses before they identify that they have a predator problem. Sick, injured or old livestock should be removed from the main herd. Once a predator identifies livestock as easy prey it will likely continue to kill even healthy animals. Livestock owners should keep records and identify each animal through tagging or branding to make it easier to identify losses. The livestock owner should keep a journal of predator problems. Over time, his journal can be used to show areas or time periods in which predator problems peak. Producers with problem wildlife may call the 24 hour toll free line at 877-952-7277.

Our family’s fortune is much more valuable than gold COWBOY LOGIC

was honoured to give the Memorial Day address in West Fargo, North Dakota, last week at the Veterans of Foreign Wars Arthur W. Jones Post 7564. In the United States, Memorial Day was commemorated May 28 as a day of remembrance and gratitude. The hall was filled with veterans, families and citizens ranging from young children to our greatest generation.

I’ve always found a lot of meaning in the Memorial Day programs I’ve attended. Whenever I speak at one, I have to admit to the listeners that I’m humbled by the invitation to speak because I’m not actually a veteran myself, but I was raised by and around a lot of humble veterans in my family. They were part of what I call my family fortune. Our family fortune didn’t lie in stocks and bonds or pieces of gold and silver. It was a fortune of people and personalities, who would gather around the kitchen table to recount stories, not coins. I always felt fortunate because I was one of the few in my age group who was raised by a father who was a combat veteran of the Second World War. The secret to that circumstance was only that Dad waited until he was 37

to marry and was 48 years old when I was born. So while some of my generation might have had a grandfather who served in World War Two, I had a father who was in the Philippines, New Guinea and the Japanese occupation. I also had a bunch of uncles who served and fought in that war. Of the six uncles I had on my mother’s side, five were a part of the war. Everyone who could serve, did serve. Their service ranged from North Africa, Italy, the Battle of the Bulge, the Aleutian Islands campaign, the Pacific theatre, the merchant marines and the Norwegian Resistance Army. Some of their areas of service are not so well known. The Aleutian Islands of the Alaska territory actually had foreign occupiers on American soil.

The merchant marines were in charge of supplying the war effort and had the highest percentage of war related deaths of any branch of service. One in 26 mariners aboard ships died in the line of duty. The Norwegian resistance was the service of a teenaged Norwegian who would later marry my aunt when he came to America. The little known Norwegian resistance was a story of underground guerilla fighting and sabotage, and deserves the credit for crippling Germany’s nuclear program as Axis and Ally raced to build the first atomic weapon. I learned a lot when these uncles and veterans gathered around our kitchen table and talked of the Depression, the war, the homecoming and the lives they led. Like a lot of veterans, they were often most con-

tent in silence of what they had seen and experienced half a world away from their far ms, ranches and homes. But you would catch the occasional reminiscence of some humour or camaraderie they shared with fellow soldiers. And, on other occasions, I would catch a small glimpse of the sadness and trauma that haunted some of them, like my Dad, even 50 years after he came home from the fighting and the dying. I knew then that not every wound of war bleeds or leaves a scar that we can see. Some are the wounds we cannot see, but they are painful wounds just the same and deserve our care and compassion.

New software is designed to help collect data and improve communication between landowners and resource companies. |

App aids landowner vigilance Manage oil and gas sites | Landowner-lessee disputes eased by good contracts and communication BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

A prairie rancher checking his fields sees invasive weeds at a pump jack site. He isn’t pleased with the oil company’s inaction on the problem. He pulls out his smart phone, identifies the exact location of the site on an electronic map, takes a photo, keys in some notes and sends the information to his landowner representative, with a copy to the oil company in question. This is the scenario Dave Vass envisions as his company launches The Landowner App that he developed to help farmers and ranchers track and monitor oil wells, gas wells and pipelines on their properties. And the software, for both regular website access and mobile, is free. Dave and his brother, Doug, who recently launched Vass and Associates along with their father, Mark, and brother-in-law, Genci Jani, said there’s no catch. “We’ll never send them an invoice,” Doug said one week after the launch of Vass and Associates. “We’re just going to charge the oil company for any service that we provide.” Charging resource firms for fees associated with landowner repre-

sentation is standard practice, said Doug. Those using the Vass software will be given the opportunity to hire the firm to represent them, though it isn’t a requirement to use the website or mobile landowner app. Doug and Dave believe the software will be its own advertisement for the firm. Users will be encouraged to hire Vass and Associates to represent them. If they do, they will receive a free upload of all their oil site, gas site and pipeline data into Vass files for future use and representation. The software is so new that few have seen it in operation, said Dave. It’s operating on the firm’s website and is now available on ITunes. There is also a planned application for Android phones. No app is planned for BlackBerry. Convenient use by landowners is key for the new firm, which evolved from the former Foothills Land Co., which primarily represented resource companies. Vass and Associates will represent only landowners, Doug said. “We don’t feel like it’s right for somebody to try to represent a landowner when they are also representing the oil company. It doesn’t make sense. It doesn’t work,” he said. Added Dave: “We are marketing to landowners and hired by landown-

ers from this point on.” The brothers’ experiences as land agents showed them that inadequate communication between landowner and resource company is at the heart of many disputes. They plan to address that through the software and their representation. “The vision behind the software is that we wanted to revolutionize the industry with regards to issues being tracked, uploaded and dealt with,” said Dave. “We believe that if landowners’ issues are dealt with in a timely fashion, that that will actually increase and enhance the relationship between the landowner and the oil company.” Most landowners like resource activity on their properties because of the revenue it provides, Doug said, but resource companies must live up to their part of the bargain. “We’re going to deal with the oil company and just make sure the landowner is fairly represented.” He said the plan to work only for landowners is a financial sacrifice that they hope will pay off in the future. Carol Goodfellow, who works on land and energy issues for the Alberta Farmers’ Advocate, said communication is indeed an issue in many disputes that come to her attention, but contract language is a larger factor.

“A greater bone of contention is the gap between what was communicated and negotiated as part of the lease agreement and the landowner’s understanding, and having nothing in writing,” she said. “Then when those developments are sold … it’s open to interpretation by the next company or by the next landowner and they are bound by the terms of what was agreed to in the contract only.” Goodfellow encourages landowners to ensure lease agreements accurately reflect what they want in the deal. Later tracking of concerns may serve as evidence should disputes escalate. Doug Vass said his family’s own experiences in dealing with resource companies on their land in Alberta and Saskatchewan should help them better understand the issues. The family has ranchland along the Little Red Deer River west of Cremona, Alta., and farmland they rent out near Unity, Sask. Both parcels have oil, gas and pipeline activity. “That’s a big part of this whole thing,” he said. “We’re passionate about the fact that landowners need to be fairly represented. We feel that there are certain things that the landowner should know and should be educated on, that they may not know.”

GRAIN STORAGE | WEIGHING THE COSTS

Choosing to buy or lease grain bins TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS

COLIN MILLER

f you are contemplating buying a grain bin, the initial cash outflow required may seem significant and the possibilities for structuring the deal endless. Many farmers are also taking advantage of a new option from bin manufacturers and leasing companies to lease grain bins. Although this option may offer benefits, the full financial and tax implications should be considered.

bin not purchased through a lease program, it may be required to include some of the lease payments as income in the year you dispose of the bin. Keep in mind that only 50 percent of a capital gain is subject to tax, while 100 percent of the lease payment addition would be subject to tax. This difference could result in a significant tax bill. What is a capital lease? To determine whether your bin lease is defined as capital or operating, you must consider the lease terms. If it has any of the following terms, it could be a capital lease: • the term is over a period that covers

the entire useful life of the bin • you have the ability to buy the bin at the end of the lease term • the purchase price of the bin at the end of the lease term is lower than the fair market value of the bin at that date The government puts emphasis on the ability to buy the bin at the end of the lease term when it is determining whether the transaction is a capital lease.

Producers should weigh the tax implications of purchasing grain bins versus leasing options. | FILE PHOTO

Where can I learn more? It is easy to see that the decision whether to buy or lease grain bins is complex. The benefits of a lease could be outweighed by the tax

implications if the tax department determines that the lease is a capital lease. It is important to get the advice of a professional adviser.

Why choose a lease? When considering whether to lease or buy a grain bin, many are interested in the more immediate benefits offered by a lease. With a lease you may be required to make a large payment upfront because the cost of the bin is incurred over the lease period. Many leases also provide the option to buy the asset at a reduced cost at the end of the lease term. Generally, the perception is that lease payments can be written off more quickly for tax purposes than the capital cost of a purchase. Because lease payments are tax deductible, the entire lease payment can be written off as an expense when incurred. If the bins were purchased instead, the price of the bin would be taken as an expense over a period of time through a tax calculation referred to as capital cost allowance. When comparing the rate at which the purchase price is amortized to the cost of lease payments, it could appear that a lease is a better alternative. Capital or operating lease? The government considers acquired grain bins to be Class 6 assets that have a capital cost allowance rate of 10 percent. Therefore, for any bin purchased, only 10 percent of the amortized purchase price can be taken as a tax deduction each year. While this appears to affect only purchased grain bins, this may not be the case. In certain circumstances, the government may consider leased grain bins to be capital leases instead of operating leases and treat the lease agreement as a purchase agreement.

Tax consequences Consider the tax consequence of a capital operating lease as compared to a standard lease. If the government determines your lease to be a capital lease, the payments would not be considered as a tax deduction in the year the lease payments are paid. If you have been deducting the lease payments annually, the government could charge interest and penalties on the previous amounts deducted. Also, tax consequences can result if you sell a bin you purchased at the end of a lease term. Rather than treating the disposition as a capital gain, which could result from the sale of a

Consumers push for sustainably sourced food

BASF to collect production data to assess farm practices

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Pulse Canada officials think the Canadian agriculture industry needs to develop a plan for sustainability issues. Consumers are becoming more curious about how food is grown. They want to know if it is being produced in a sustainable manner. That has prompted food companies to learn more about their supply chains. In 2002 Nestle, Unilever and Danone created the Sustainable Agriculture Initiative Platform to support the implementation of sustainable agriculture practices.

The group now has 30 members. “We’re seeing a lot of market pull from food companies and retailers,” said Denis Tremorin, manager of sustainability with Pulse Canada. Unilever plans on having traceability in a large portion of its food products by 2020 and for 100 percent of its products to be sustainably sourced by 2050. Sustainable Food Laboratory, which has a broad membership base that includes non-governmental organizations, has developed a carbon footprint calculator called the Cool Farm Tool that is being used by companies like Unilever, PepsiCo and Yara International in their supply chains.

Pulse Canada used the calculator on a pilot project in conjunction with Heinz to help determine the carbon footprint of a can of navy beans. That project highlighted strengths and weaknesses of the Cool Farm Tool calculator. It can provide farmers with information on how to reduce greenhouse gas emissions but it has geographic biases that could unfairly penalize Canadian growers. Tremorin said it fails to properly account for climatic conditions, so a farm in southwestern Saskatchewan, where it is hot and dry, might be shown to be producing artificially inflated levels of greenhouse gases. That’s why Pulse Canada is spear-

heading a project to develop a Canadian calculator. It hopes to test the tool with a group of Saskatchewan growers during the winter of 2012-13. The other main initiative will be to form a broad-based Canadian agriculture sustainability working group that would include food companies, retailers, environmental groups, the fertilizer and crop protection industries, commodity groups and grain companies. Tremorin worries they may have already lost an important partner with the downsizing of the CWB. “They’re not going to be taking on as much of a role in this area of market promotion,” he said.

The analysis will calculate environmental impacts BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

While Pulse Canada is developing a carbon footprint calculator, BASF Canada is testing its own tool on Canadian canola. A study conducted by the company will compare production data information from 1995 with the 2010 growing season, with its more intensive production, high-yielding varieties and new soil conservation practices. “We’ve gone from growing a conventional crop to growing one that’s virtually 100 percent herbicide-tolerant and that’s had a dramatic impact on the crop protection products used,” said Jeff Bertholet, technical development manager at BASF. The data for both years will be run through BASF’s AgBalance tool, which uses a series of indicators to calculate the social, economic and environmental impact of various farming practices, what Bertholet called “a holistic approach.” The report should provide producers with information to improve sustainability within their operations and assist with long-term planning, improving their bottom line along the way, said Bertholet. The analysis tool will provide alternative fer tilizer and pesticide regimes, machinery, crop rotations and other agricultural practices. “How some of our products could potentially help mitigate risk in terms of yield fluctuation, those kinds of things,” he said. “It’s a platform for us to have those kinds of discussions with growers ... I think the study could show areas where we could make some changes to help improve his overall yield efficiency and help maximize his production and do it in a more sustainable way.” Results of the study, one of several BASF is conducting, are expected in the second quarter of 2013. The AgBalance methodology, which makes use of expertise from agronomists, biologists, soil scientists and economists, is also being tested in crops in the U.S., Brazil, France and China. Eventually, Bertholet said, the AgBalance tool could be developed into a web-based application for producers or combined with an existing certification method. BASF is collaborating with various producer organizations on the project, including Pulse Canada. Bertholet said he was aware of similar tools and calculators. “I think it will complement the tools that are out there already that look at very specific pieces of what AgBalance looks at and then I think this will create some opportunities down the road for people to work together to bring tools that can be used at the grower level rather than have duplication out there,” he said. “I think we’re all starting to realize, and I think there’s a willingness from people to work together on this.”

FOOD TRACEABILITY | SAFE FOOD FOR CANADIANS ACT

FOOD SAFETY RULES | REACTION

Bill will increase food safety: Ritz OTTAWA BUREAU

Food industry sees changes as good step forward

After years of spotty movement toward a national food traceability system, the federal government is proposing to give itself more power to impose rules through regulation if needed. The Safe Food for Canadians Act, introduced in the Senate June 7 as the most sweeping consolidation and strengthening of food safety rules since the Canadian Food Inspection Agency was created in 1997, would give the agriculture minister authority to regulate traceability requirements throughout the industry. Debate on the bill began June 12 in the Senate, but it is not expected to make it through Parliament at least until next winter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This new act will strengthen our tools to help track, trace and recall food,â&#x20AC;? agriculture minister Gerry Ritz told a June 7 news conference in Ottawa. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This new act will further strengthen import controls and hold importers even more accountable for the safety of the products they bring to Canada.â&#x20AC;? Brian Evans, Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief food safety officer and chief veterinary officer, said inclusion of new traceability regulatory powers is meant as a powerful signal from government to the industry that it should get moving to fulfill a pledge from federal and provincial ministers several years ago to develop a national mandatory system. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It provides the legislative coverage and basically signals a move to mandatory, but it will have to have the support of producers and industry and provinces to implement it,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But it at least now sets in motion the legal framework that would require it and support it. There has been a sense that we may have lost some momentum, some direction, and this asserts the commitment and the focus to move on with it.â&#x20AC;? Evans said if an agriculture minister decided in the future to impose regulations, â&#x20AC;&#x153;it is a mandatory requirement but this is just the first step toward that.â&#x20AC;? A key concern of the government is that while Canada has vowed to move to national food traceability, progress has been slow and uneven and international buyers are becoming skeptical.

Food industry reaction to the introduction of sweeping new food safety legislation was largely positive, although the union representing federal food inspectors directed some showers at the parade. On June 7, the federal government introduced the Safe Food for Canadians Act that widens federal powers over food industry safety regulation, consolidates acts, strengthens controls over imported food and gives the federal agriculture minister the power to impose traceability requirements on the industry if necessary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It sounds like a pretty good step forward,â&#x20AC;? said Canadian Federation of Agriculture president Ron Bonnett. The Canadian Meat Council, poultry and egg processors said they welcome a government commitment for better and more predictable food inspection and safety rules. The CMC will work â&#x20AC;&#x153;to ensure that the new act sets up an internationally competitive regulatory framework that enables and encourages the Canadian meat industry to achieve the highest levels of food safety,â&#x20AC;? council executive director Jim Laws said in a June 8 statement. The lobby for food and beverage manufacturers said consolidation of four food inspection acts into one and modernizing food safety rules is good for the industry and for Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reputation as an international food supplier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The (legislation) will definitely further enhance Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reputation as global food safety leaders,â&#x20AC;? Food and Consumer Products of Canada president Nancy Croitoru said in a FCPC statement. Even the usually critical agriculture union of the Public Service Alliance of Canada, representing federal food inspectors, said the legislation is â&#x20AC;&#x153;a good start.â&#x20AC;? But union president Bob Kingston quickly warned that a proposal in the bill to give companies the right to appeal Canadian Food Inspection Agency decisions could be a Trojan horse that will allow industry to undermine the CFIA. And he said the government must hire more food inspectors if it wants better food inspection. Instead, he said the government plans to lay off inspectors.

Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief food officer, Brian Evans, right, led agriculture minister Gerry Ritz and health minister Leona Aglukkaq on a tour of the meat section before the announcement.

He said the legislation would give Ottawa the power to regulate better recordkeeping and traceability responsibilities at the food processor, retail and farm levels. Food importers would be licensed and the license would impose requirements that they be able to provide proof of the source of the imported food. New rules at the farm and animal supply chain level could also be enacted if deemed necessary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t an obligation just on the company selling food,â&#x20AC;? Evans said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This becomes a more generalized

This new act will further strengthen import controls and hold importers even more accountable for the safety of the products they bring to Canada. GERRY RITZ FEDERAL AGRICULTURE MINISTER

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily moved forward to meet the expectations of the international market.â&#x20AC;? Canada may be further along the traceability path than the United States, but â&#x20AC;&#x153;other countries do have systems in place that do provide a true

application that applies to the producer of the animal and anyone who subsequently has ownership of the animal or handles the animal such as an auction mart, so this is a broader authority that covers traceability from farm up to and including slaughter.â&#x20AC;? He said the authority to impose regulations does not mean they will be written, but it is meant as a clear signal to provinces and industry to get moving. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve talked about getting there, and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now some concern on the part of some parts of the industry that some of our trading partners are looking for us to complete the work and this is a strong signal from the government to get the industry there.â&#x20AC;?

West makes do with less federal funding Operations reviewed | Eastern economic development groups offer advice to rural western counterparts BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

HALIFAX â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Community Futures groups in Western Canada would better serve their rural clients by speaking with one voice in a time of diminishing resources, said the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s national chair Dave Harris. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They will have to come together and find commonalities and build on that and I think they will have much better results,â&#x20AC;? he said of the groups that support rural economic development initiatives through loans and training. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The four provinces represented by it are going off in four different directions. Change wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be possible unless they get together,â&#x20AC;? he said in an interview during the Community Futures Network of Canada annual conference here May 30-June 1. Harris said the federal government, w h i c h f u n d s C F o p e rat i o n s i n Canada, has indicated there will be no increases in funding for the coming year. Harris said the united approach has served Atlantic Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s community business development corporations (CBDC) well, cutting operating costs and freeing up more money for clients. Forty-one Atlantic groups contributed $37,500 to a central fund, to which the federal government added another $9 million. The fund today sits at $30 million. The group found dormant money sitting in bank accounts and little used programs, changed its funding formula to reflect what was happening in the individual offices and freed up investment funds to supplement rising operations costs. The changes allowed groups to learn how much

money they have to work with well in advance of the coming year, which helped with long-term planning, Harris said. He said small CBDCs once got the same money as large ones, with some floundering trying to get their work done while others had a smaller workload. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The more business you do, the more money youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re entitled to.â&#x20AC;? The West is currently in the early stages of what Atlantic Canada started, but the difference is that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re tackling it province by province, said Harris. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The West needs to look at how they can do things better together,â&#x20AC;? he said. He said the overall mandate of the 25-year-old program is not changing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What has to change is how we use the money we have,â&#x20AC;? he said. Jason Denbow, executive director of Community Futures Manitoba,

said western CFs are all facing the same challenges and looking at new ways of doing business on the $300,000 each office receives annually from the federal government though the Western Economic Diversification fund. They are exploring areas served to see if all are still appropriate, if there are ways CFs can work together with bulk audits and implementing new technologies like IP telephones to save money. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to see if there are different ways of doing things to squeeze dollars out,â&#x20AC;? said Denbow. He noted how Saskatchewan divides funds equally among its CFs while Manitoba and British Columbia look at factors like need, size of the region and who is being serviced. Alberta has big, medium and small designations.

new suburban and urban markets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will not forget our rural base, but in order to stop our steady membership decline, we need to go where the youth are,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bringing in the lower age range nationally brings the entire organization in line with what some provinces are doing already.â&#x20AC;? Canadian 4-H Council director Michael Trevan, agriculture dean at

the University of Manitoba, said there is a need to build community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the advantages of an organization like 4-H, which develops leadership and communications skills for its members, is that it has a national vision, but responds to a global community,â&#x20AC;? he said.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have the chicken strips and an apple, hold the friesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Helping children choose wisely | U.S. fast-food giants add healthier items to the menu with national restaurant association nutrition initiative BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

For parents, it is a recurring dilemma: do I let my six-year-old son order a burger and fries or should I encourage him to pick something healthier from the menu? The U.S. National Restaurant Association has developed a program called Kids LiveWell, which identifies and certifies menu items that are healthy and nutritious for kids, said Joan McGlockton, National Restaurant Association vice-president of industry affairs and food policy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a way for restaurants to not only demonstrate that they have these (healthy) products, but also participate in a nationwide website where consumers can go and find the menu items the restaurant has.â&#x20AC;? In tandem with Healthy Dining, a U.S. organization that helps diners choose nutritious foods, the National Restaura n t A s s o c i a t i o n l a u n c h e d K i d s LiveWell last July. Starting with 19 restaurant chains and approximately 15,000 restaurants, including Burger King and Dennyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, the program has since expanded to 96 restaurant brands and 25,000 locations in the U.S. To qualify for the program and its stamp of approval, a menu item must satisfy nutritional guidelines created by leading

health organizations, such as the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Full course meals must feature at least two sources of the following: â&#x20AC;˘ 1/2 cup of fruit â&#x20AC;˘ 1/2 cup of vegetables â&#x20AC;˘ whole grains â&#x20AC;˘ lean protein â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have third party dietitians who verify that the menu items do, in fact, meet the criteria. So there is an outside third party providing assurance to parents,â&#x20AC;? said McGlockton, who has been surprised by the rapid expansion of the program, in less than a year since its launch date. The programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s popularity may be attributed to endorsements by nutrition experts like David Katz, a Yale University professor who specializes in preventive medicine, editor of the Childhood Obesity journal and a health and nutrition columnist for the New York Times. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eating well, especially when eating out, is the road much less travelled in America today,â&#x20AC;? he said, in a statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With this initiative, the National Restaurant Association and Healthy Dining are helping to pave that path and ma ke healthful eating m ore accessible to all.â&#x20AC;? As well, former U.S. president Bill Clinton praised the p ro g ra m f o r tackling the childhood obesity

crisis in America. McGlockton readily admitted that Kids LiveWell wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t end childhood obesity but the restaurant industry wants to do its bit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The whole issue of helping people lead healthy lives is complex,â&#x20AC;? she said from her office in Washington, D.C. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a number of different reasons that we found ourselves in the situation weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in, with respect to the obesity epidemic. The restaurant industry wants to be part of the solution.â&#x20AC;? Besides helping parents identify menu items with fewer calories, the vegetables, whole grains, low fat dairy and lean meats that quality for Kids LiveWell are all part of a well rounded diet, McGlockton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s making sure the child gets some of those positive nutrients, as well.â&#x20AC;? So far, Kids LiveWell is restricted to U.S. restaurants. Garth Whyte, president and chief executive officer of the Canadian Restaurant and Foodservices Association, says it will take a year or more to develop and unveil a Canadian version. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great program. Really what it does, it heightens awareness of Americans, of what a lot of larger chains are doing (offering healthy meals),â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d love to do it in Canada and I think it will be done. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a matter, for us, of resources.â&#x20AC;? The association is currently dealing with issues related to healthy dining such as nutritional labelling, sodium, trans fats and allergens, Whyte said.
