HARVEST 2012 | CANOLA

Canola’s bright light dims

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

What appeared to be a bumper crop of canola heading into harvest has turned into a huge disappointment for some Manitoba growers.

“Yields are much below expectations. I just started harvesting two days ago and our best field did 26 bushels an acre and typically we expect to harvest about 40 bushels per acre,” said Doug Chorney, who farms near East Selkirk, Man. “The swaths going into the combine are what you’d expect to see for a really high-yielding crop but in the end there’s just nothing coming in the hopper.”

INSIDE THIS WEEK

HARVEST 2012 | FROM PAGE ONE

Canola’s light dims Statistics Canada issued a forecast last week calling for 15.4 million tonnes of canola production. That was about one million tonnes below trade expectations heading into the report.

Chorney, president of Manitoba’s Keystone Agricultural Producers, thinks the Statistics Canada estimate is still too high.

The agency is forecasting an average yield of 31.4 bushels per acre in Manitoba. “That’s never going to happen. It will be 25 if they’re lucky,� he said. “Prepare for higher canola prices, I’d say.�

If Chorney is correct, further losses in Manitoba will shave another 500,000 tonnes off of Statistics Canada’s production estimate, dropping it below 15 million tonnes.

Curtis Rempel, vice-president of crop production with the Canola Council of Canada, also believes Manitoba’s yields have been overstated.

He attributes the poor results to a “brutal� summer heat wave. In other regions of the Prairies, disease was the main yield-robber.

Rempel forecasts a 15.1 million tonne canola crop, which while down from earlier estimates would still get the council to its production goal three years ahead of schedule. “For me, this is kind of a really good news story,� he said.

But for many growers the harvest results are a bitter disappointment, especially considering that the smaller-than-expected crop in Manitoba has been accompanied by poor oil content. “Oil levels are greatly diminished.

They’re down to like 39 percent. Normally, we’re in the 42 to 45 percent range,� said Chorney. “That’s going to be a big issue for the crushers because if there’s less canola and five percent less oil in all the canola they get, that’s going to really affect their productivity.�

The Canadian Grain Commission has analyzed 80 Manitoba canola samples in its Harvest Sample Program. The average oil content of those samples is 40.8 percent, which is below the five-year average of 44.2 percent.

CGC spokesperson Remi Gosselin stressed that those findings are preliminary and should not be considered representative of the 2012 crop.

The data comes from about onequarter of the samples normally taken in Manitoba. Gosselin pointed out that early samples often have lower oil content than later samples.

Pat Van Osch, vice-president of oilseed processing with Richardson International, said the CGC data jibes with what Richardson has seen at its crush facilities.

He anticipates oil content will improve as harvest moves west and north where the summer weather wasn’t as oppressive. “Whether we are still below average, time will tell.�

Va n O s c h a l s o a n t i c i p a t e s improved yields. “There’s a lot of good crops as you move north and west. Just as we’re not real happy with what we’re seeing right now in southern Manitoba and southeast Saskatchewan, I think we’ll have pleasant surprises in other regions,� he said.

Jonathon Driedger, market analyst with FarmLink Marketing Solutions, also emphasized caution when digesting early harvest results.

He said there is no doubt canola fared worse than cereals across the Prairies this year and that the first crops coming off in Manitoba are disappointing.

But he stressed that Manitoba’s crops were the hardest hit and it’s the smallest canola producer of the three prairie provinces.

Saskatchewan Agriculture released its first yield estimates last week with most regions reporting yields of about 30 bushels per acre, which is in line with Statistics Canada’s provincial average forecast of 30.5 bu. per acre and about an average crop for the province.

Gerrid Gust, a grower from Davidson, Sask., and chair of the Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association, thinks the canola crop will be 20 percent below producer expectations.

A Statistics Canada analysis of satellite images of vegetative growth suggests an average Canadian yield of 33.5 bu. per acre, which would result in a 15.8 million tonne crop.

Gust said there is plenty of plant material but diseases like sclerotinia and aster yellows have taken their toll, as has the heat. “I don’t think there’s as much there as people thought there was,� he said.

Harry Brook, crop specialist with Alberta Agriculture, doesn’t know of any canola being harvested in his province, so his yield estimate is only a hunch. “I’ve got a sneaking suspicion the crops may not be quite as good as they looked,� he said.

POTATOES | BOYCOTT

MLA calls for spud boycott Concerns over Alberta’s labour laws | Liberal MLA says potato farms fail to protect farm workers

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

A prominent Alberta Liberal MLA plans to amplify his calls for a boycott of Alberta potatoes and other farm produce until the province’s Progressive Conservative government enacts labour laws that better protect farm workers.

Dr. David Swann, former party leader and now health and wellness critic for the Liberals, last week called on Frito-Lay, a subsidiary of PepsiCo., to boycott Alberta potatoes because potato farms fail to protect farm workers, including children.

On Aug. 27, Swann said he plans to extend his boycott call to other agricultural sectors, including beef, chicken and corn.

He said he has reviewed the ethical procurement standards posted

by Frito-Lay, McDonald’s and Yung Foods and contacted the companies.

“I’m asking them to either take down that statement that they are ethical procurers, or boycott this province where it is not required to meet ethical standards in the workplace,” Swann said.

“Either stop pretending that this place is providing ethical standards or boycott these industries and go elsewhere to get your stuff.”

Alberta human services minister David Hancock was unavailable for comment Aug. 27.

Both the Alberta Liberal and NDP parties have criticized Alberta as the only province without labour safety standards that apply to farm workers.

Potato Growers of Alberta chair Rob Van Roessel did not return calls by press time. The PGA website acknowledges Swann’s call for a boycott and says the organization “will not fight a media battle on this issue but will work as always with facts and common sense in a proper environment.”

Van Roessel’s official statement said the PGA prides itself on its food safety protocols and “has been involved in discussions with the Alberta government concerning worker safety.”

The PGA has a farm safety code of practice stating in part that “the mission of producers is to promote safety and health to farm workers and farm families through education and awareness, thus enabling them to work in a safe and healthy environment and allow them to assess and manage their personal risk.”

Calls to other southern Alberta potato growers were not returned.

Swann said his demand for a boycott was in part prompted by recently released statistics on child deaths on farms, which show an increase.

The Alberta Centre for Injury Control and Research report said children up to 14 years old had the

highest death rate of any age group, with an average annual increase of six percent.

From 1990 to 2006, 69 children died from agricultural injury, an average of four per year. Runovers were the most common cause, followed by drowning and rollovers.

The report said “the significant rate change experienced by children may be due to a consistent number of deaths but a significant decrease in the reported child agriculture population.”

Swan said the boycott is not aimed at producers.

“I hope the government is paying attention. That’s the target here.

Operators are not the target. It’s the government that is unwilling to set standards.”

Producer outrage over the boycott call may prompt them to pressure government to enact standards, Swann said.

“I think any enlightened producer now wants that.”

He further suggested federal Bill C-45, also known as the Westray Mine bill, had implications for Alberta farm operators.

“Any farmer could be taken to court for criminal negligence if somebody on his property dies and he hasn’t fulfilled the basic requirements for health and safety.”

Canadian grain company CWB has expanded its 2012-13 marketing program to include canola, a crop that was planted on a record 21 million acres of prairie farmland this year.

CWB president Ian White said the company will offer a canola pool this year but he acknowledged that total volumes could be relatively small and delivery points will be limited.

So far, CWB has been unable to reach canola handling agreements with major grain handling companies.

That means farmers who sell canola through CWB will have access to only 42 delivery points across Western Canada, including nine in Manitoba, 10 in Alberta, one in British Columbia and 22 in Saskatchewan.

“Canola is a crop that we’re easing our way into and at this stage, we’re limited (in delivery options),” White told Reuters News Agency last week.

CWB’s decision to enter canola markets comes as prairie producers prepare for a large crop, although there are signs it may not be as large as first expected.

Last year, Canadian exporters shipped nearly eight million tonnes of canola seed to overseas buyers.

Nearly half of that went to customers in China and Japan, countries where the demand for oilseeds is strong, crush capacity is expanding and CWB has cultivated a solid reputation as a reliable supplier.

Despite significant cuts to its workforce, CWB has retained international offices in Tokyo and Beijing.

White said the company’s canola marketing program will focus primarily on export markets, but he did not rule out the possibility of selling some canola to domestic buyers, if the right opportunities arise.

“It (canola) is a business that we believe we can easily be involved in because it’s a commodity that’s easily (hedged) and we’ve already been, in the last couple of months, making some sales and doing some trading,” he said.

“We’re confident that we can do a pretty good job (marketing) to what we know are some international customers that are pretty keen to take some product from us.”

White said delivery options for canola growers are likely to improve as the CWB strikes agreements with domestic grain handling companies.

The CWB’s first pool return outlook for canola, issued Aug. 23, was $640 per tonne, basis in-store at Vancouver or Thunder Bay, Ont. Initial payments under the canola pool are expected to be announced in early September.

The deadline for farmers to commit production to the pool is Oct. 31, although the program could be expanded, pending market conditions.

SUPPLY MANAGEMENT | THINK TANK REPORT

Pressure to abandon dairy protection rises: report Supply management | Conference Board of Canada says changes will be needed to access foreign markets and increase milk volumes

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Canada’s influential businessfriendly think-tank, the Conference Board of Canada, has weighed in on the politically sensitive supply management debate, predicting changes are inevitable.

As it released a George Morris Centre report Aug. 23 on the 1970s origins of dairy supply management, the conference board noted that Canada’s protectionist and regulated supply management systems for dairy, poultry and eggs are under pressure from international and domestic critics.

“What is clear is that Canada’s longstanding policy will need to change, whether marginally, dramatically or somewhere in between, in response to domestic and international pressures,” the board said when releasing the report.

Understanding its origins “will help inform decision-makers in making

changes to dairy policy that take into account the realities of today’s industry, the domestic and international contexts and Canada’s large trade and public policy interests.”

The George Morris Centre report noted that dairy supply management came out of a legitimate milk industry crisis fueled by processor concentration, competition from margarine and other butter substitutes and a lack of individual farmer understanding of or power in the market.

In the 1960s, governments being pressured for farm aid and to reduce dairy supply and price disruptions, chose to establish price, production and import controls.

The result was marketing boards with an overview of the domestic market and a plan to regulate the market.

“The control of milk surpluses and market access/equity and increased producer returns at manageable public cost have been the goals of

Much of Canada’s milk supply management regulation goes beyond the necessary, creating unintended costs and burdens to the operation of the system.

CONFERENCE BOARD REPORT

supply management in Canada,” said the report.

“This was born out of a different situation of chronic surplus and low returns, and the system has developed effectively to achieve these goals.”

However, George Morris Centre analysts say the system has gone too far and become too rigid during the past 40 years. The dairy industry has been largely stagnant compared to other countries.

“This success has come at a cost,” it said. “Canada’s competitor country

dairy industries have seen significant milk market growth while in aggregate, Canada has seen no growth in overall milk volumes despite large increases in both population and income.”

The centre argued that the increasingly bureaucratic system to maintain price levels and control quota values has come at the cost of export markets and a fragmented national market between provinces.

“Much of Canada’s milk supply management regulation goes beyond the necessary, creating unintended costs and burdens to the operation of the system,” said the report.

“The challenge for the Canadian dairy industry and policy makers is to retain the elements of supply management that maintain its functions and purposes while allowing changes in other elements, without being trapped by the system’s history.”

The conference board said the need to reform supply management

has been sharpened as Canada joins the Pacific Rim free trade talks through the Pan-Pacific Partnership and negotiates free trade with the European Union while facing greater demands for increased foreign access to Canada’s domestic dairy market.

“Pressure to abandon the longstanding protection of dairy, as well as poultry and egg, sectors from international competition has intensified” because of trade negotiations, said the board.

The report is the latest in a long list of calls during the past year for changes to supply management, or even its dismantlement over time.

Dairy Farmers of Canada and the Canadian Federation of Agriculture have been counter-attacking, arguing that supply management is a sound policy that provides farmer stability and does not cost consumers.

The conference board is expected to produce more critical reports in a series on the system.

Although intermediate wheatgrass directs most nutrients into tall biomass, plant breeders believe it can be developed into a grain crop with shorter stalks. | RON LYSENG PHOTOS RESEARCH | PERENNIAL CROPS

Potential lies in native prairie perennials Genetic transfer | Researchers look at perennial forage genetics to breed for grain production

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

CARMAN, Man. — Farmers have wanted more perennial crops since the earliest days of cultivation.

There are numerous benefits if commercially viable cereals and oilseed crops can advance to the state of sophistication reached in forages.

Perennial crop breeder Doug Cattani of the University of Manitoba plant science department is exploring commercializing or extracting favourable genetics from intermediate wheatgrass and perennial sunflower, cereal rye and wheat.

The ideal perennial cereal would be able to fix nitrogen, but Cattani said that’s not in the cards for intermediate wheatgrass.

“It will still require some sort of nutrient input,” said Cattani.

“You could probably fix some nitrogen if you intermixed with a legume, but that will reduce your yield because the legume reduces the density of your main crop. But theoretically, such a mix could take care of itself.”

Cattani said the main advantage of intermediate wheatgrass is that it regrows after seed harvest, making it a good crop for baling or fall grazing after the seeds are taken.

It has not been bred like wheat, where most of the nutrients go up to the seeds. That means there’s a lot of nutrient left in the straw.

The animals would digest the nutrients and excrete them back onto the field if it were fall grazed, said Cattani.

“We’re just beginning to work with intermediate wheatgrass as a grain crop, so we don’t know yet what our

major roadblocks will be.

“We do produce seed here in Western Canada, but it’s strictly the forage variety. The best yield we’ve seen so far is 800 pounds per acre.

Given it has a bushel weight of 15 lb., we only have 16 bu. per acre.

“But keep in mind that’s a forage variety. Hopefully, we can make significant gains in these yields if we concentrate on breeding for grain production,” he said.

Cattani said breeders have already increased grain size in only three generations. Breeding annual cereals proceeds quickly with two generations per year. Each generation of intermediate wheatgrass takes three or four years.

The tall plants have excellent resistance to lodging, but that extra biomass also consumes nutrients that could go into the seeds. Cattani said breeding will try to reduce plant height while maintaining stalk strength.

The intermediate wheatgrass nursery was established at Carman in 2011. The first seed harvest is this fall, with two more harvests in the next two years.

Those seeds will be analyzed to find genetic traits that can be moved toward commercialization. They will also be evaluated for resistance to stress factors commonly occurring on the Prairies.

Canada wild rye has not been fully explored, said Cattani.

“It grows up to seven feet tall here in Manitoba, mainly in shaded areas. Here at Carman, it grows up to three feet tall. It’s a self-pollinating species, so the breeding program can move along quickly.

“We also have a native legume that

Some native sunflower species are resistant to sclerotinia, which could turn them into tools to clean up sclerotinia infected fields. grows well. It’s called prairie turnip or Indian Breadroot.”

This legume was a staple in the diet of Native North Americans. It’s edible raw, can be dried for storage, ground into flour, plus it’s quite palatable and nutritious.

“It’s a legume, so it fixes its own nitrogen. It has a large seed, up to one centimetre in length.

“Of course, if you harvest the root for food, you kill the plant. So we’re looking at it mainly as a nitrogen fixing legume.

“We also have a perennial flax that’s native to Western Canada, and that could be very useful in a perennial rotation.”

The Land Institute in Salinas, Kansas, is a partner in a number of these U of M projects, including intermediate wheatgrass and the evaluation

of perennial wheat.

The wheat nursery was established in 2011 with plant materials developed at the institute. The Carman component of the project is simply to evaluate the viability of these strains of perennial wheat.

Cattani cautions against overoptimism. He said these and other alternatives all have potential to help bring food production on the Prairies closer to real sustainability, but each species represents only a small step.

U of M masters student Sean Asselin, who is evaluating perennial sunflower species native to Manitoba, said commercial viability of these genetic traits may be 15 years away, but thinks intermediate wheatgrass, perennial rye and the perennial wheat are closest to commercialization.

He said native perennials have a distinct advantage because they grow throughout the growing season and create more biomass.

Their roots penetrate into the soil profile to access water and nutrients, allowing them to maintain their leaf matter through the growing season. This makes them ideal for grazing in a drought year.

“Native salt-tolerant perennials will be good for reducing high water tables and reducing soil salinity.

“They can help clean up your soil.

For example, if sclerotinia has infected one of your fields, you put in a sclerotinia-resistant native perennial on that field for five years to break the disease cycle and clean up that field,” said Asselin.

A new application for smart phones will allow people in British Columbia to easily report invasive weeds so that they can be identified, tracked and controlled.

The Report-a-Weed app is a free download to iPhone and Android phones that allows users to submit reports of invasive plant sightings, upload photos and browse a list of invasive species.

“I think it’s going to be of use to all of us in British Columbia because it’s a tool where more people can be providing current information on the distribution of invasive plants, particularly for new ones, because if they’re new, we’ll be able to stop them before they get established,” said Gail Wallin, executive director of the Invasive Species Council of B.C. The council developed the application, with the help of Hipwood Digital and the provincial ministry of forests, lands and natural resources.

Users can search a list of 202 invasive plants by common name, Latin name or flower colour, or scroll through a photo library of known invasive plants.

PINE BEETLES | ALBERTA SURVEY

Pine beetle stabilized

BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Officials are continuing to carefully watch the movement of mountain pine beetles in Alberta, says a provincial official.

The latest results are a mixed bag.

Surveys conducted at 179 sites across Alberta’s pine forests in May and June found a wide variation in the over-winter mortality for the beetle, whose populations cut off nutrient supplies to trees and eventually kill them.

“It’s a little bit across the board,” said Duncan MacDonnell of Sustainable Resource Development in Alberta. “The good news was that it wasn’t as bad, and by bad I mean beetles’ survival, wasn’t as high as it might have been expected given that we had a fairly mild winter.”

Samples were taken from more than 1,000 trees and showed that mountain pine beetle populations decreased over the winter in the regions of Slave Lake, west to Grande Prairie and Grande Cache. Numbers remained static, or were up slightly, in parts of central Alberta and in areas north of Peace River.

MacDonnell said the good news is that the bug ’s movement east, toward Saskatchewan’s boreal forest, hasn’t progressed.

FERTILIZER | PRICE OUTLOOK

Nitrogen surplus keeps lid on urea prices Urea stable but liquid N could edge up | Fertilizer prices typically chase crop price increases, but not this year, says expert

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Farmers bracing for escalating fertilizer prices may be in for a pleasant surprise, says an industry analyst.

Growers are becoming increasingly anxious that they’re in for a repeat of the summer of 2008, when fertilizer prices temporarily doubled in response to record high grain prices.

“My dealer told me (in 2008) that he felt prices might be going back up, and that’s the classic situation we see: as grain prices go, so do fertilizer prices,” said Doug Chorney, president of Manitoba’s Keystone Agricultural Producers.

He recalls farmers buying fertilizer at sky-high prices in the summer fearing that they would continue to climb.

Grain and fertilizer prices crashed throughout that fall and winter as the United States and most developed countries fell into recession.

“Producers and dealers were both caught with high-priced inventory.

That was a very expensive lesson for many to learn,” said Chorney.

David Asbridge, president of NPK Fertilizer Advisory Service, said this could be the year that “punches the hole” in the theory that fertilizer will chase grain prices up.

That’s because there is a surplus of nitrogen fertilizer in the world that should keep a ceiling on prices.

“We’re forecasting that through the fall season, particularly urea prices are probably going to stay pretty flat from where they are now,” he said.

Urea is the most widely traded nitrogen fertilizer product and tends to set the tone for other nitrogen fertilizer prices.

“We are seeing a lot of excess urea now out on the market,” said Asbridge.

India recently put out a tender to buy 1.5 million tonnes of the product.

“They got four million tonnes offered to them. That’s just a fairly good indication that there’s a lot of urea out there right now,” he said.

Asbridge said the United States is sitting on a large inventory of imported urea, and plenty of new manufacturing plants have come on stream around the world.

Chorney said today’s cheap natural

Analysts say there should be plenty of urea in Western Canada this year, but shipping issues in the U.S. Midwest could lead to shortages there. | FILE PHOTO gas prices means it makes sense for manufacturers of nitrogen fertilizer to produce a lot of product.

However, he wouldn’t recommend delaying all nitrogen purchases until next spring.

Neither would Asbridge because fertilizer prices tend to rise in the spring.

He expects U.S. farmers next spring will seed another 96 million acre corn crop, which will be a heavy user of nitrogen and is advising clients to start pricing their urea today.

Anhydrous ammonia is one nitrogen fertilizer that has been rising lately. U.S. corn growers compensated for the lack of early-season urea application by side-dressing their

crops with anhydrous ammonia.

“It has pulled our inventories down pretty sharply here in North America,” said Asbridge.

A gas restriction in Trinidad, which is a major exporter of anhydrous ammonia, has also curtailed supplies.

However, the supply situation is starting to turn around, which means that while it’s tight right now and prices could perk up a bit in the fall, they should subside by spring.

Asbridge thinks liquid nitrogen prices will be marginally stronger in the fall than they are right now, but the magnitude of the increase will be less than it is for anhydrous ammonia.

The big caveat in his forecast is what

happens with the Mississippi River.

Sections of the river were closed last week for dredging because the waterway is at its lowest level since the last major drought in 1988. Early last week, 97 ships were stranded while the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers dredged the riverbed.

Asbridge said shippers have been forced to load their vessels with 25 to 30 percent less fertilizer than normal because of the shallow waters.

More than one-third of the urea used in the U.S. Midwest travels up the Mississippi. If the problem persists, it will result in a shortage of urea in the Midwest and consequently higher prices in that region.

Asbridge said there should be plenty of supply of the product in Western Canada, which is a net exporter of urea.

Another factor is the impact that the U.S. drought has had on leftover soil nutrients because many growers in the corn belt produced only 60 percent of a normal crop.

That could reduce demand for phosphate and potash but not for nitrogen because it doesn’t carry over well in the soil.

Asbridge said there is an oversupply of potash, while phosphates are a little on the short side, so growers should consider filling some of their anticipated phosphate requirements now.

Flax traders watch China for price rally Rising soy prices make flax attractive | Canada unlikely to face any strong competition for crop

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Flax traders paid little attention to the production estimate issued by Statistics Canada last week. “ I t ’s a l l g o i n g t o d e p e n d o n demand,” said Grant Fehr, flax and special crops manager for Keystone Grain Ltd. Statistics Canada is forecasting 547,000 tonnes of production based on 995,000 harvested acres.

That would be a 48 percent increase over last year’s production, but still well below what used to be harvested in the pre-Triffid era.

Fehr believes there will be ample demand for this year’s flax crop if farmers are willing sellers.

“I’m still very optimistic that we’re going to see fairly decent prices going

on forward,” he said.

The key will be Chinese demand.

China accounted for 49 percent of Canada’s 2011-12 flax expor ts through the first 11 months of that marketing campaign.

“I was there in April and I don’t see (demand) backing off anytime soon,” said Fehr.

Dale Heide, general manager of Delmar Commodities, also expects continued strong demand from Canada’s most important customer.

Chinese demand tends to flag when flax prices are high, but with short oilseed crops in North and South America driving up soybean prices to record levels, flax looks like a relative bargain.

“If you know you’re paying $20 in China for soybeans, flax doesn’t seem so bad at $18 to $19,” said Heide.

“I think their tolerance is higher this year.”

Flax usually sells for a $2 per bushel premium over canola. But at today’s values of $13.50 per bu. for September to December delivery in Saskatchewan, the spread is negligible.

Delmar also sells a lot of flax to the pet food industry in the United States. Heide said flax is still an attractive ingredient at today’s values of about $13.50.

“Given the price of many other ingredients, flax still continues to work in very nicely into the pet food industry,” he said.

Fehr said Canada is unlikely to face stiff competition from Kazakhstan and Ukraine, two other major exporters of the oilseed.

“It looks like their acreage is down, but more importantly, the yields are

going to be down because of dry conditions,” he said.

Heide said there is little old crop flax in the system, so traders are eagerly awaiting new crop, which should be coming off the combines in the next couple of weeks in Manitoba.

Fehr said the initial yields in Manitoba are below average due to a hotter than usual summer. Saskatchewan Agriculture’s early yield estimates range from 21 to 24 bu. per acre.

Growers and buyers want to get a better handle on yields before committing to buy or sell because they want to see whether prices will go up or down.

“Most of the large companies that we work with, they’re looking at buying only three months at a time instead of six to 12 months,” said Fehr.

CHICAGO (Reuters) — The parched Midwest farm belt could get up to 130 millimetres of rain from Tropical Storm Isaac just in time for wheat planting next month.

Rain is too late to help the devastated corn crop, which is being harvested and in soybeans will benefit only late seeded crop.

But for farmers gearing up to plant the winter wheat crop, rain could boost soil moisture and get the crop in the world’s top wheat exporter off to a good start.

Isaac was expected to strengthen and make landfall in Mississippi or Louisiana midweek. Up to 115 mm of rain would likely be common.

“You feel sorry for the people that are going to get hit along the coast, but it’s going to be a blessing for some of us,” said Kansas farmer Tyler Alpers.

Alpers said he was looking forward to rain from Isaac adding to as much as 100 mm of rain that fell on the weekend on his farm in Stafford County, Kansas.

“There is definitely a little more bounce in everyone’s step, a more positive attitude.

It’s depressing with day after day of 100 degree heat and no rain,” Alpers said.

Alpers produces wheat, soybeans, corn and alfalfa hay and depends on pasture for his cow-calf operation.

“It’s too late for fall crops and pasture, but it will really help with fall planting of wheat in about a month,” he said.

Kansas is the top wheat state.

Canadian farmers will have large wheat crop to market MARKET WATCH

T

he new wheat marketing environment in place this crop year should get a good workout with a big crop and the potential for excellent demand and prices.

Drought in the United States and a range of bad weather in the Black Sea region have pushed all grain prices higher, including wheat.

Wheat is also getting support from dry weather in Australia.

An analyst at ANZ Bank said last week that the Western Australia wheat crop could fall to six million tonnes, from the current forecast of eight million, if it does not get significant rain by the end of September.

Australia’s weather service has forecast a 70 percent chance of better than normal rain in the region in

BIG CROPS AHEAD July estimates of production of principal field crops (000 tonnes) 2011 2012 % final July est. change Spring wheat 18,031 19,058 5.7 Durum wheat 4,172 4,273 2.4 Winter wheat 3,058 3.682 20.4 Total wheat 25,261 27,013 6.9 Canola 14,165 15,410 8.8 Corn for grain 10,689 11,703 9.5 Barley 7,756 9,508 22.6 Soybeans 4,246 4,405 3.7 Oats 2,997 2,994 -0.1 Dry field peas 2,116 2,981 40.9 Flaxseed 386 547 48.4 Fall rye 195 312 60.4 Sask. lentils 1,455 1,303 -10.4 Source: Statistics Canada | WP GRAPHIC

the next two months, but the situation bears watching.

Statistics Canada says this country should produce the largest wheat crop since 1996.

That is good news because its

report last week, based on surveys with farmers, forecast the canola crop at 15.2 million tonnes, more than a million tonnes less than the average of analysts’ pre-report expectations. Since the report was released, there are early harvest reports of even more disappointing results in the eastern Prairies.

StatsCan pegged all wheat production at 27.01 million tonnes, about equal with the trade’s expectations and up almost two million tonnes from last year.

The spring wheat crop at about 19.06 million tonnes is up almost six percent from last year.

Winter wheat at 3.68 million tonnes is up more than 20 percent due to big acreage increases as farmers with land too wet to seed in the spring of 2011 turned to fall seeded crops.

Durum is the only wheat not faring as well as hoped.

StatsCan forecast it at 4.273 million tonnes, up 2.4 percent from last year.

The forecasts in a pre-report Reuters poll of analysts ranged from 4.6 to 5.1 million to average 4.8 million.

While wheat prices are well supported, there is little protein premi-

um in the market. The U.S. spring wheat crop is almost all harvested ahead of the normal pace and North Dakota protein levels, while variable, are averaging about 14.7 percent.

The Canadian crop should also enjoy good protein levels.

The premium of the Minneapolis hard red spring wheat December futures over the Chicago soft red winter has fallen to about 43 cents a bushel from about $1 in the spring.

StatsCan’s barley forecast of 9.5 million tonnes is at the high end of the range of analysts’ forecasts. Feed prices should not weaken much because of the general feed shortage in North America. On the malting barley side of things, there is little premium for malting quality at this time because there are good world supplies. Strategie Grains increased its Europe barley crop estimate last week to 53.1 million tonnes, up 600,000 from its previous estimate.

The StatsCan oat forecast, at just under three million tonnes, is equal to trade expectations. But the crop is small relative to demand and the market might finally be forced to pay up to get supply.

Oat futures have rallied only about 14 percent since May while Chicago wheat is up about 30 percent and corn is up 50 percent since May. Flax is rebounding after a disastrous year last year. Production is forecast at 547,000, up about 48 percent from last year but in step with the trade’s expectations.

Dry pea production is forecast at almost three million tonnes, up about 41 percent from last year and in step with the trade’s expectations.

But pea and lentil acreages are down from expectations in June.

When push came to shove and spring weather, although better than last year, still presented challenges, farmers focused on the core crops, not pulses.

As an indication of the results of the weather problems, Statistics Canada increased its Western Canada’s summerfallow area to 4.6 million acres from 3.86 million in June, with Saskatchewan accounting for all of the reduction.

ETHANOL | U.S. MANDATE

Ethanol hard to dislodge from fuel supply Cheaper than alternatives | Economics, pollution laws have ethanol a critical part of U.S. fuel supply NEW YORK, N.Y. (Reuters) — For the past five years, the U.S. government has paid fuel companies billions of dollars in subsidies to buy home-grown, corn-based ethanol, making it a viable part of the nation’s gasoline supply.

Now fuel companies would have to be paid not to buy it.

The worst drought in half a century revived a fierce food versus fuel debate. Livestock and food producers and others are calling on president Barack Obama to abandon, at least temporarily, a government mandate that requires converting more than a third of the U.S. corn crop to ethanol. The president has three months to decide.

Experts say that even if he waives the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS), that will not necessarily free up much corn for food and livestock feed. In fact, unless corn prices rise another $2 or oil prices fall sharply, it may not make a difference at all.

Even without the standard, a third of the U.S. gasoline supply must contain ethanol to meet unrelated clean air rules, mostly in California and on the East Coast. No other available substance can oxygenate gasoline as effectively, helping it burn more cleanly.

More importantly, ethanol is as much as $1 cheaper than other types of octane boosters such as reformate, which refiners use to increase the efficiency of their fuel.

The realization that ethanol won’t be easily extracted from the U.S. gasoline supply is dawning just as a renewed food-or-fuel debate comes to a head. A dire drought has shrivelled the corn crop, causing prices to jump more than 60 percent in just three months to a record high above $8 a bushel.

Under pressure from outraged livestock and poultry producers who have seen their feed costs surge, several state governors have applied to the Environmental Protection Agency for waivers to the mandate. The agency, which denied a similar appeal in 2008, must decide by midNovember how to proceed.

But removing the RFS obligation won’t change the fact that the 1990 Clean Air Act requires fuel companies to sell a cleaner blend of fuel, called reformulated gasoline (RFG), in the most populous parts of the country.

Even if the Renewable Fuel Standard is relaxed, one third of American gasoline must contain ethanol to meet clean air rules in certain states. | WP ILLUSTRATION “If the EPA relaxes the standard for ethanol, refiners could produce conventional gasoline, but they would not be able to produce RFG gasoline,” said Mark Routt, senior adviser for KBC Advanced Technologies in Houston, Texas.

Originally meant as a way for nine U.S. cities with the worst smog to clean up the air, RFG is now a required fuel in about 30 percent of the country’s service stations.

Producing RFG requires oxygenate, which causes the gasoline to burn more cleanly.

The 1990 amendment to the act did contain provisions for the use of alternate, non-petroleum oxygenates to meet air quality requirements.

Oil companies and automakers offered their own alternative: methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE). They

argued successfully that the addition of a petroleum-based oxygenate would not require a change in existing cars.

But in the 1990s, MTBE was found to be a known carcinogen. Petroleum blenders and marketers shied away from its use.

Enter ethanol. The Renewable Fuels Act of 2007 mandated use of renewable fuels, and ethanol became the oxygenate of choice, aided by a 45 cent per gallon subsidy paid to blenders and trade tariff protection pushed by farm state legislators.

Since then, a fairly steady 300,000 barrels per day of ethanol has been used to make reformulated gasoline (RFG), according to Reuters calculations from U.S. Energy Information Administration data based on a 10 percent blend.

That is about a third of this year’s ethanol output.

The Renewable Fuels Standard requires ethanol consumption of 13.2 billion gallons in 2012 — about 860,000 barrels of ethanol — to improve energy independence. Production this year has averaged 885,000 barrels per day after fuel companies took advantage of cheaper prices in the first quarter. Output is now running at around 820,000 barrels per day, just enough to meet the annual quota.

In effect, one-third of the ethanol is mandatory, but the remaining twothirds is discretionary, blended into conventional gasoline, or conventional blendstock for oxygenate blending, simply to increase octane, which improves efficiency.

It is this pool that has absorbed the

trebling in ethanol output since 2006, seeping into almost every filling station in the country. In May, only about four percent of all U.S. gasoline was ethanol-free, according to EIA data. A year ago, it was 10 percent and in 2008, it was a quarter. “ The addition of ethanol has allowed refiners to use gasoline with an octane level of 84 and then blend with ethanol to get a higher octane to reach the 87 level that we buy,” said Cannon.

Ethanol has a octane rating of 113.

U.S. retail gasoline octane levels range from 87, which is conventional gasoline, to 94, which is premium gasoline.

According to J.P. Morgan, the average spread between 87 and 93 octane has averaged about 13 cents over the last five years.

“This implies that, in the long term, the octane premium for ethanol is likely close to 63 cents a gallon over 84 octane gasoline,” said J.P. Morgan in a note to clients.

In theory, this could be curtailed if the mandate were waived. But economics say otherwise. With few exceptions, ethanol has been much cheaper than gasoline, actually reducing the cost of gasoline at the pump.

It is 25 to 30 cents cheaper than CBOB on the spot market, according to a trader with a large U.S. gasoline blender who declined to be named.

Its appeal grows compared to other octane enhancers like alkylates, aromatics and reformates, which must be produced in costly, specialized refining equipment.

In the New York Harbor, prompt alkylates are $3.55 per gallon while reformate is $3.82 a gallon. Ethanol futures were trading at $2.63 a gallon.

Cannon reckons that corn, which hit a record high of $8.4375 a bushel, would have to rise to $10 a bushel and crude oil, currently trading around $97 a barrel, must drop below $70 to make ethanol too expensive to blend.

U.S. refiners’ capacity to produce alkylate is about 1.25 million barrels per day, which is less than 10 percent higher than two decades ago.

Gasoline demand has increased nearly 30 percent since then.

“We can produce and sell more octane but that comes with a cost and a change in operating rates that adds to the cost,” said Tancred Lidderdale, senior economist with the EIA.

American corn, soybean harvest lowest since 2003: report Low yields, tight supplies | Pro Farmer says Iowa’s early start to the growing season turned into a ‘mid-season nightmare’ CHICAGO (Reuters) — The American corn and soybean harvest will be smaller than the United States Department of Agriculture’s forecast due to the devastating drought that crippled crop production across the Midwest, Pro Farmer said Aug. 24.

The farm newsletter predicted U.S. corn production at 10.478 billion bushels, based on a yield of 120.25 bu. per acre. That compares with the

USDA’s latest forecast of a 10.779 billion bu. crop on a yield of 123.4 bu. per acre.

Soybean production was seen at 2.60 billion bu. on a yield of 34.8 bu. per acre, Pro Farmer said. Earlier this month, USDA pegged the soybean harvest at 2.692 billion bu. and yield at 36.1 bu. per acre.

If the forecast is realized, both crops would be the smallest since 2003.

The low yields promise to tighten up world supplies and add to food inflation around the world.

Pro Farmer released its estimate following its annual crop tour, which surveyed more than 2,200 corn and soybean fields in Midwest states that accounted for 73 percent of U.S. corn production in 2011 and 66 percent of soybean production.

In Iowa, the top producer of both

corn and soybeans, Pro Farmer pegged corn yields at 139 per bu. per acre. Corn went through its yield determining phase of growth in scorching temperatures and parched soils.

“Iowa’s early start to the growing season turned into a mid-season nightmare for corn trying to pollinate and fill kernels,” a Pro Farmer news release said.

Soybean yields in Iowa were forecast at 41 bu. per acre.

Pro Farmer said the state’s soybeans were the “least bad” of the western Corn Belt.

Corn and soybean prices rose last week, with soybeans posting a 5.2 percent gain, as reports from the tour trickled in, underlining the damage done by the worst drought in more than half a century.

Legumex Walker’s buying spree continues with Keystone Grain Fourth purchase | The Manitoba firm recently bought a North Dakota-based sunflower processing facility and bean processing plants in Minnesota and China

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Legumex Walker is continuing its run of recent acquisitions with the announcment that it has bought Keystone Grain — the largest sunflower seed processor in Canada.

The Winnipeg-based Legumex Walker, which processes pulses, special crops and canola, has signed a letter of intent to buy all outstanding shares of Keystone Grain, located in Winkler, Man. Legumex Walker didn’t release the purchase price, but Joel Horn, Legumex president and chief executive officer, said the deal would boost market access and sales into the bakery market.

“Keystone is a highly strategic addition to our U.S.-based sunflower processing assets and significantly enhances our ability to service the

growing demand for sunflower and flax products in the bakery ingredients market,” Horn said, in a statement.

Assuming the deal is finalized in September, it will represent Legumex Walker’s fourth acquisition of 2012.

This winter the processor bought the St. Hillaire Seed Company, a dry bean processor in Minnesota.

At the same time, the company bought sunflower seed processing facilities from Anderson Seed Company in North Dakota.

Also this winter, Legumex began processing beans at a plant in Tianjin, China.

As well, Pacific Coast Canola, a subsidiary of Legumex Walker, plans to finalize construction and open its canola crushing plant in Washington State early next year.

Legumex’s latest deal offers advantages for both companies, said Don

Falk, Keystone Grain president.

“Joining forces with Legumex Walker will allow us to take advantage of currently available growth opportunities we could not pursue on our own,” Falk said. “(This) will create one of the largest suppliers of sunflower and flax products in North America with bakery ingredient sourcing and processing on both sides of the Canada/ U.S. border — a significant strategic advantage.”

Keystone operates a sunflower processing facility and a flax processing plant in Winkler and a bird food processing facility in Winnipeg.

The company is also a signficant player in the bird food market.

Legumex Walker owns 11 processing plants on the Canadian Prairies, the U.S. Midwest and in China. It also has an 85 percent share in Pacific Coast Canola.

CHINA | SWINE

Hog prices might raise China’s inflation Producers forced to sell herds due to sluggish domestic demand and high cost of feed SINGAPORE (Reuters) — Pigs are an unlikely barometer of inflationary pressure, but in China, the country’s declining herds are a matter of concern amid fears that a spike in pork values could drive consumer prices higher next year.

Faced with sluggish domestic demand and the record cost of fattening animals due to high crop prices caused by the U.S. drought, China’s hog producers are being forced to sell their herds.

China’s food price cycle is driven in large part by pork, the country’s staple meat, and while it is in abundance now, meat stocks are expected to fall in about six months as a result of the selloff, resulting in a

surge in prices.

The situation is likely to be compounded by the fact herds are also being culled in North America.

Any increase in food prices is expected to push up inflation, which now sits at a comfortable level in Beijing having cooled from last year, but is still one of China’s biggest economic concerns given the potential for rising prices to trigger social unrest.

“If you look at corn and soymeal prices in China, the cost of feeding animals is already reaching a record,” said Jean-Yves Chow, a senior feed industry analyst at Rabobank in Hong Kong.

“We expect pork supplies to decline

by early next year if profitability remains depressed, resulting in higher prices, which will fuel food inflation.”

Worried by the state of the pig industry, China’s top economic planning agency this month ordered stockpiling of frozen pork in anticipation of a supply squeeze when consumption peaks during the Lunar New Year in February 2013.

China holds reserves of pork, both in live animals and frozen meat, to help stabilize domestic prices during extreme price fluctuations. The stockpiling is also used to try to curtail food inflation and steady its domestic industry.

Cattle prices fell last week as the needs for Labour Day were met and expectations build that beef will be hard to move in September at current high prices.

Pork prices are falling as producers cull herds to avoid high feed costs.

Beef faces strong competition at the meat counter.

There is speculation among U.S. market watchers that there could be a sharp price fall like that seen in July following the June rally.

Fed steers in Canada last week averaged $111.22 per hundredweight, down $1.43 and heifers $110.89, up 37 cents.

Dressed sales were $185-$187 per cwt. delivered, down $1-$3 per cwt. from the previous week.

However, prices remain about $4 stronger than last year at this time.

The weaker market caused feedlots to hold back a portion of their intended offering. There were no sales to the U.S., but American buying interest was observed with bids comparable with local trade.

The weekly sale volume was 18,062, up one percent from the previous week. The Alberta fed cash-tofutures basis narrowed 18 cents to close at -$7.93, but basis levels in September have a strong tendency to weaken. The five-year average is -$13.40 for September.

Weekly fed exports to Aug.11 totalled 1,206. That was the lowest export volume since July 2005.

Weekly western Canadian slaughter to Aug. 18 totalled 38,270 head.

Weekly western Canadian non-fed slaughter to Aug. 18 fell eight percent to 3,890 head.

Weekly non-fed exports to Aug. 11 were 22 percent lower than the previous week at 3,378 head.

FEEDER PRICES RISE Feeder prices rose $1.50-$3 per cwt. in light trade.

Pasture conditions are holding up and are slowing yearling marketings.

Harvest has distracted farmers from the cattle markets.

Good demand for 400-600 pound feeder steers pushed up prices $6 and 400-500 lb. heifers rose $4.

Feeders 600-700 lb. fell 50 cents-$1 while steers heavier than 700 lb. rose $2-$3.

Heifers heavier than 900 lb. rose $3.

Auction volume of 15,892 head was 50 percent smaller than the weekly historic average.

Weekly feeder exports to Aug. 11 rose three percent.

Varied pasture conditions, cash flows and backgrounding strategies should moderate supplies in the coming weeks.

Direct feeder sales may also reduce auction volume.

BEEF PRICES PEAKING?

COWS MOSTLY STEADY

U.S. Choice cutouts rose to $193.83 per cwt., up $2.35, and Select was $184.93, up 53 cents. Market watchers expect beef prices to fall in September.

The Montreal wholesale price for delivery this week rose $1 to $211$213. Canadian cut-out values to Aug. 17 were unavailable.

D1, D2 cows ranged $73-$85 per cwt. to average $79.42, down only 16 cents from the previous week. D3s ranged $65-$76 to average $70.88.

Dressed prices were steady, ranging between $150-$155 per cwt.

Butcher bulls fell 50 cents to average $92.75 per cwt.

WP LIVESTOCK REPORT HOG PRICES FALL The number of hogs going to market in the U.S. jumped as producers shipped early to avoid high corn prices.

Slaughter is up and pork prices are down. Also, cooler temperatures in the U.S. are allowing hogs to gain weight more quickly.

Weekly average weights were 267.7 pounds, up from 262.5 last year.

The strong Canadian dollar is pressuring prices in Canada.

Iowa-southern Minnesota hogs traded at $59-$60 Aug. 24, down from $65 Aug. 17.

The U.S. composite pork carcass cut-out value was $86.32 on Aug. 24, down from $91.19 Aug. 17.

U.S. slaughter for the week jumped to 2.265 million, from 2.166 million the week before and 2.123 million a year ago.

BISON STEADY The Canadian Bison Association said Grade A bulls in the desirable weight range were $3.65-$3.90 per lb. hot hanging weight. Grade A heifers were $3.65-$3.90.

Animals older than 30 months and those outside the desirable weight range may be discounted.

Slaughter cows and bulls averaged

$1.60-$2.50. In the live market, heifers born in 2011 were $2-$2.30 and bulls were $2.20-$2.40.

Feeder bulls and heifers born in 2010 were $1.90-$2.

Hair rams were $69-$97.50 per cwt.

Cull ewes were $70-$98.

Good kid goats lighter than 50 lb. were $200-$250. Those heavier than 50 lb. were $180-$275 per cwt. Nannies were $63-$85 per cwt. Billies were $95-$150.

Ontario Stockyards Inc. reported 1,314 sheep and lambs and 105 goats traded Aug. 20. All well-fed light lambs continue to sell strong. Heavy well-fed lambs sold $5 lower. Sheep and goats sold at steady prices.

FARM SIZE | POLICY SETTING

CRAIG’S VIEW

Good farm policy reliant on realistic definition of ag

A

real problem with statistical reporting of Canadian farm numbers lies in the way those numbers misinform and skew public perception and government policy debate.

By allowing individuals to self-describe themselves as farmers if they produce agricultural goods with the intention of selling them, Statistics Canada compiles an inflated number of “farmers,” most of whom do not make their primary living from agriculture.

Then, as the number of these hobby farmers and shoestring operations inevitably shrinks, public concern shifts to the perceived demise of family farms and the need for government intervention to protect them.

The 2011 census indicated there are 205,730 Canadian farms. Presumably most would also describe themselves as “family farms” although there is no box to check for that.

Of those 205,730, 37 percent claimed gross receipts less than $25,000 annually and they produced 1.4 percent of national farm output. Farms with more than $500,000 in gross receipts produced 68 percent of national farm output.

Should family farms have access to programs that help them protect themselves from the vagaries of weather and markets? Absolutely.

But we need to register the fact that viable family farms come in many forms.

Many are large. Many are corporations.

Many have older farmers at the helm and younger ones playing crucial operational and ownership roles.

A recent paper from the George Morris Centre indicates a trend toward larger farms; those with more than $500,000 in annual sales and a second category with annual sales of more than $1 million.

These are not small operations of “Old McDonald had a farm” lore that an increasingly urbanized population likes to envision.

Wiser heads than ours have opined that agriculture seems to be the only business that a large portion of the public thinks should eschew technology.

How often do modern farmers hear that they shouldn’t use herbicides or genetically modified seed or other technologies that increase production?

Yet scientific discovery and technological development are embraced when applied to the businesses of electronics, automotives, communications and myriad others.

That contradiction can’t be laid at the feet of inaccurate farm number reporting, obviously, but the latter does contribute to general misperceptions about modern farming and ranching.

That extends into government, according to the George Morris Centre report. It suggests the inclusion of commercially non-viable farms in the farm total leads to one-size-fits-all policies that don’t adequately serve the farming populace.

That assertion skirts the fact that agricultural groups representing the bulk of larger farms and agri-businesses, such as the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, the Grain Growers of Canada and the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association, tend to be the ones consulted by government in making farm policy.

Nevertheless, the think-tank’s point that farm policy needs to best serve the operations that produce the bulk of agricultural goods is a valid one.

That doesn’t mean operations with low sales can or should be thrown under the combine, as it were. They have important functions in local food sales, niche marketing and lifestyle choices.

It is, however, time to redefine what we consider to be a farm for statistical reporting purposes. A definition identifying agriculture as the primary source of income might be a logical starting point.

If done properly, this new definition could improve agricultural policy so it better meets the needs of farmers.

It might also help drag lagging consumer perceptions into the 21st century, where modern farming is productive, efficient and yes, family oriented.

QUEBEC | ELECTION

Anglo Quebecker nervously awaits election night in Quebec NATIONAL VIEW

BARRY WILSON

F

or a political junkie, there are few more riveting, thrilling moments than election night — the drama, the personal stories, the horse race and the implications of the outcome.

This political junkie has covered and been riveted by 14 federal election nights over 45 years and many additional provincial moments.

They are more than worth the price

of admission — democracy, new directions, new players and all that.

But for an out-of-province, Anglo Quebecker, political junkie with no say in the outcome, the joy of election night watching ends when a vote is called in that province.

So it will be Sept. 4 when Quebeckers go to the polls.

Liberal premier and federalist (at least as federalist as Quebec politicians get) Jean Charest is running to be the first Quebec premier in more than half a century to win four terms of office.

At this point, it doesn’t look promising for him. Polls are weak and the most effective of all political slogans (except in Alberta) — time for a change — is taking hold.

His main opponents are a separatist — Parti Québécois leader Pauline Marois who promises to blackmail

Canada for more powers until Canada says “enough” and then call a referendum on separation — and former PQ minister, François Legault, who heads the recently formed Coalition Avenir Québec (coalition for Quebec’s future), a conservative businessfriendly party that is swearing off a discussion of separation for 10 years.

However, Legault also has said that as long as Quebeckers will not vote for separation, a referendum that resulted in a third loss on the question would be “the worst thing that could happen.”

It sounds like he would support a referendum once he restores Quebec’s finances, but only if he is sure he can win.

As a Canadian nationalist, this is not comforting.

And that is why Quebec election

campaigns are not much fun to watch. The stakes are so high.

But it seems most Canadians do not share that view.

In 1980 during the first sovereignty referendum, the whole nation was watching and breathed a sigh of relief when federalism won 59-41.

Fifteen years later, a razor-thin federalist victory had the country on Valium.

And now?

The outside-of-Quebec Canadian view seems to be that the separation threat is no longer real or if it is, so what? Canada can survive without Quebec with its equalization-sucking system if that’s what they want to do.

That’s why Quebec elections are so nerve-wracking for an Anglo Quebecker. Chances always are high that a party dedicated (avidly or secretly) to breaking up Canada will get elected.

Much of Canada doesn’t seem to care. For agriculture, the stakes are not that high.

A new Quebec agriculture minister likely will not fly to Whitehorse for the federal-provincial ministers’ meeting Sept. 12, but a deal can be struck anyway.

A conservative CAQ government likely would support drastic cuts proposed to farm safety nets. A statist PQ government could push back or demand more money from Canada to support its farmers.

But the broader question is how much traction and political energy would Canada lose dealing with yet another national unity crisis and perhaps messy divorce?

Canadians should not be so complacent, or at least so says an Anglo Quebecker with knots in his stomach.

Allergen labels allow some peace of mind

U.S. drought swallows crops, optimism

BY SYLVAIN CHARLEBOIS

C

anada is not a world leader on food labelling, but it’s close.

Many parents and school board bureaucrats across the country probably expressed a sigh of relief when Canada’s new food allergen labelling regulations, announced in February 2011, came into force Aug. 4.

The Canadian food industry was given 18 months to implement the new allergen labelling regulations, and for a while many food companies have been in compliance.

However, food allergens, gluten sources and sulphites now need to be included on the list of ingredients. This is welcome news for more than a million Canadians who suffer from food allergies.

Until now, access to information and clarity of meaning remained major challenges for consumers seeking information on ingredients contained in food products at points of sales.

Even if the information was available, studies show that many consumers could barely understand the list of ingredients.

For example, before stricter regulations were in place, eggs could have up to 17 different descriptions, 12 for milk and eight for peanuts. The new regulations compel food manufacturers to use plain and simple language when listing the allergens and gluten sources.

A recent Canadian study shows that 47 percent of respondents experienced an accidental allergic exposure because of inappropriate and ineffective labelling, failure to read or

While new rules require warning of allergens on food labels, more work is needed to develop international labelling standards. | FILE PHOTO understand labels, and ignoring precautionary statements. Thankfully, these issues are properly addressed with the new regulations.

This has been in the works for awhile.

In 2008, regulations were instigated by then health minister Tony Clement. From there, months of consultation went into creating a regulatory framework that would make sense to regulators, industry pundits and consumers.

With its new labelling rules, Canada

will soon join Australia and New Zealand as the only countries that require warning of allergens on food labels.

The United States and the European Union, two of Canada’s most important trading partners, are working on similar regulations.

These regulations can improve the quality of life of consumers, domestic and abroad.

Australia and New Zealand’s labelling policy is impressive because it encompasses a significant amount of

metric standards such as comprehensive nutritional information on ingredients and additives.

While all countries are striving to improve the standard of health for their consumers, more effort should be made to develop internationally standardized labelling. In other words, efforts should be better coordinated.

Allergen labelling is of global, critical importance for consumers, and standardized labelling would promote consistency and clarity.

For obvious trading reasons, there is a need to narrow the labelling standard gap among countries. Governments around the world must continue to work with consumers and industry to find that balance of regulated and voluntary compliance of food labelling standards, while respecting economic realities within the food industry Canada will likely not be recognized as a global offbeat trend setter in food labelling, but it will not be categorized as irresponsible either.

New regulations are what Canadian consumers expect from its government.

Consumers will obviously have to remain vigilant when shopping for food products, but at least government is providing them with the information they need and understand to protect themselves and their loved ones, which is one of the most crucial tasks for any government.

FARM PROGRAMS | AGRISTABILITY

Producers not engaged on safety net changes HURSH ON AG

usiness risk management programs (farm safety nets) are not a typical topic of conversation among farmers, but they should be. The federal government is putting the finishing touches on programs that will be in place for the years ahead and most producers are in the dark about them.

The feds will tell you that there have been extensive consultations for Growing Forward 2, the new federalprovincial agriculture policy framework. In reality, farmers and farm groups have had limited opportunity to discuss and debate the nitty-gritty of AgriStability and AgriInvest.

Producers naturally oppose the cutbacks that are reportedly coming,

specifically the increase to 30 per cent from 15 in the shortfall needed to trigger AgriStability payments. But if governments commit less money, what’s the best way to restructure these programs?

The National Farmers Union has strong opinions and their recent paper on the topic is a good starting place for discussion. NFU biases are well known, but their ideas on farm safety nets will resonate with a lot of Canadian producers.

Their overriding issue is that business risk management programs under Growing Forward 2 should be improved “by ensuring the money will be directed to family farms instead of being used to help the biggest corporate farms grow even larger.”

In specific terms, the NFU says the maximum AgriStability payment should be reduced to $300,000 per farm from the current $3 million.

Their premise is that AgriStability is currently providing backing for big farms to grow even larger.

Many people will say that’s the way it should be — that bigger operations are more efficient and the way of the

world. Certainly though, in the public eye, million dollar cheques to big farms are not palatable.

The NFU also points out that AgriStability has maximum value for specialized operations growing a commodity noted for price variability. The program is not as useful for diversified farms because they tend to have less dramatic income downturns. This is a longstanding complaint about the program, but no one seems to have a solution.

On AgriInvest, the NFU plan calls for a lower cap, with access to government funds on a sliding scale. For farms with eligible sales of up to $250,000, there would continue to be a matching government contribution. For sales between a $500,000 and $1 million, government would match only 25 per cent of the producer’s deposit.

Somehow in this country, we’ve never had a debate over the purpose of farm support programs. Do we want to use programs to stabilize all of primary agriculture against inevitable downturns? Or should they also be used to encourage and support small

and medium-sized operations?

Remember all the predecessors to AgriStability? The Canadian Agricultural Income Stabilization and Agricultural Income Disaster Assistance were roundly debated, practically household acronyms in rural areas.

Those were the dark days in agriculture when a lot of producers were losing money.

These days, particularly in the grain business, returns are good and farm safety nets are well down the list of farmer concerns. There’s a lot more at stake because many producers have established healthy AgriStability reference margins.

When commodity prices take a nosedive or a disease outbreak halts exports, AgriStability has the potential to provide more support than ever before. If government is determined to cut the cost of the program, would you rather have the trigger increased to 30 per cent or the program capped at a lower level?

It’s a debate we should be having.

EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

MICHAEL RAINE, MANAGING EDITOR

T

he U.S. has generated record or near record crops in soybeans and corn for most of the past 10 years. Corn hovers in the 12 to 13 billion bushel area and soybeans in the low three billion bu. range.

But this year’s American drought has reached all but the Pacific Northwest and the Canadian border states, and yields are way off of average.

On my recent reporting visits to the lower 48th this season, it was obvious that the typical American crop wasn’t in the fields.

I am often envious of their verdant crops, the 500 to 1,000 millimetres of rain that falls east of a line running from Winnipeg to Houston and, of course, their seemingly interminable frost free days.

Average 160 bu. corn and 40 bu. soybeans, fantastic plant genetics and farm programs and crop insurance that keep risk to a minimum all make me as green as the endless corn and beans.

This year I was feeling a different shade of green.

Farmers in Iowa, Missouri, Indiana, Ohio and New Mexico all said the same thing: “It looked like a good year, so we invested heavily in the crop.”

I wouldn’t want their costs.

Cash costs for corn seed, fertilizer and herbicide of about $375 per acre pile on top of land rentals averaging $275. Put in the other variables and fixed costs and it adds up to about $900 per acre. Corn yielding 160 bu. at $6.50 puts a margin of $240 in their pockets. That’s not bad. Beans are a little less.

But what about droughty, 90 bu. corn at a farmgate price of $7.50? It adds up to a cash loss of $225.

The farmers I met were, in many cases, estimating overall farm losses of about $200 per acre, with cattle and hog producers being hit on both crop and higher feed costs.

My Canadian journalist’s envy went away this season. All except for their farm programs.

Because of those, farmers down south say it will be OK. Maybe I’m green again.

Global grain interests, who planned the demise of the CWB, glibly suggested that the CWB was an era of past times. They are wrong.

The loss of the CWB has regressed the rights of producers to an era that existed in the 1920s and the 1930s, a time when our pioneer farm families were at the non-existent mercies of the autocrats of the Winnipeg Grain Exchange.

The problem that will now prevail is that producers will be at the mercies of a few giant global corporations.

Seventy to 90 percent of the world’s grain trade is controlled by the ABCD group. They are — Archer Daniel Midland, Bunge, Cargill and (Louis) Dreyfus.

Canadians will witness the rapid

expansion and control of agriculture by corporations.

The CWB consisted of 15 directors.

Ten of those directors were democratically elected, bona fide prairie farmers.

Over the many years of CWB tenure, a high percentage of those elected were solid supporters of the single desk selling monopoly of the CWB. In fact, a recent poll of producers held in the CWB region revealed that 61.77 percent of producers favored the single desk monopoly of the CWB, while 38.22 opposed the single desk.

Harper and (agriculture minister Gerry) Ritz used questionable tactics to eliminate the CWB. They have

done so with impunity. This is a government that regularly reminds Canada’s parliamentarians that they have “a solid majority” in the House of Commons.

That so-called majority represents fewer than 40 percent of Canadians that voted for Conservatives candidates in the last election — over 60 percent did not vote for Conservatives.

Your readers will recognize that there is a political label for a government that does comply with the bidding of the corporate sector, rather than comply with the wishes of the majority of Canadian voters.

QUOTA TROUBLE To the Editor: Regarding the letter to the Editor “Proudly Canadian” by Randall Affleck of the National Farmers’ Union (WP July 26): I do not have a problem with dairy farmers making a decent return for their efforts and investment.

I do have a problem with consumers having to pay for a quota over and over and over.

The quotas were originally assigned to producers at no cost.

Producer A received a quota free of charge.

Producer A retires.

Producer B would like to get into the dairy business but cannot get a quota.

Producer A offers to sell his free quota to Producer B for $250,000.

Eventually Producer B retires and sells his originally free quota to Producer C for $500,000.

Producer C now puts a value of $1 milion on the quota. The average quota in Canada is valued at over $1.1 million or $22,000 plus per milking cow.

In fact, the cost of a quota almost equals the investment to set up a dairy farm. Consumers pay for the cost of a quota every time it changes hands.

The quota system doubles the investment required to produce milk and adds absolutely nothing to production.

The system also allows for a disproportionate share of production to be allocated to certain sections of the country.

Grocery outlets in the U.S.A. sell milk for 60 to 70 cents per litre. Our cost in Canada is $1.30 to $1.60 or more per litre.

A good portion of that difference goes to pay for the quota.

FOOD | INTERNATIONAL CUISINE

Local food producers must adapt to satisfy international tastes

BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Amid a changing Canadian population and calls for policies that place new emphasis on local food production, researchers are beginning to ask questions about practices that could address food concerns of new immigrant and refugee communities and create new market opportunities for producers.

Researchers say the questions are timely. Projections peg the percentage of Canada’s foreign-born and visible minorities growing over the next generation to more than onequarter of the Canadian population.

That’s motivated Jim Brandle and

his colleagues at the Vineland Research and Innovation Centre, a horticultural science station in Ontario’s Niagara region, to examine the potential for world crops in that province to feed growing communities from China, the Philippines and India.

Researchers there have tackled this project on a few fronts, including a survey of immigrants’ vegetable consumption, which has mostly been met with imported produce.

They’ve identified opportunities for producers to make inroads into markets worth hundreds of millions of dollars. That study has helped the group to better understand the taste and quality demands of consumers

and led to varietal trials on crops like okra, yard long beans, Asian eggplants, amaranth and fuzzy melons.

“Lentils are the same idea only more export oriented,” said Brandle.

“That’s a huge success.”

The majority of those communities will be centred in Canada’s largest urban centres, but demographics are shifting in other parts of the country, including the Prairies.

Saskatchewan, for example, has seen an increasing flow of immigrants into the province, including an influx from the Philippines.

Those new residents face a number of language and employment challenges, said Hassan Vatanparast of the University of Saskatchewan’s col-

lege of pharmacy and nutrition.

Refugees, arriving in the country with fewer resources, are more vulnerable and their ability to acquire adequate nutrition is more in doubt.

With recently announced funding, Vatanparast will head a project, working with researchers in Iran and Canada and local and international agencies, to identify policy solutions for resettlement programs that will ease the transition, assist in health literacy and improve the nutrition of these communities along the way.

Earlier this year, a UN report condemned Canadian policy, citing high poverty and obesity rates and data showing as many as 800,000 households are “food insecure.”

It recommended solutions, including a move toward smaller farms and local food production, which has put some agricultural groups on the defensive.

In Ontario, Brandle said researchers have had positive results with trials and see potential for world crops to contribute to a $2 billion horticulture industry in a province that already receives big contributions from more than 120,000 acres of field vegetables or about half of all production in Canada.

Details of the centre’s world crops project will be released in September and further work will examine production costs and efficiencies and test crops in other environments.

he darkest part of Jodi Picoult’s novel Vanishing Acts is the chapter on protagonist Andrew’s imprisonment.

Interpersonal conflict in the prison was so extreme he was sure he couldn’t face it for another day. His lawyer was ultimately able to get him moved to “administrative segregation” and reassured him that he would win the case and get the charges overthrown.

At the end of that sinister chapter Picoult wrote a wonderful nugget of truth. Upon hearing that reassurance Andrew is quoted as thinking “like anyone who finds himself adrift at sea, I reach for (the thrown) lifeline. I believe (my lawyer), and just like that, I remember how to float.”

Whether it is when we are helplessly enmeshed in a financial crisis, or when our body has been wrapped in pain or when we try to restore a relationship, we may be fortunate enough to hear someone say, “I will help you”.

As we reach for the lifeline, the memory of what is possible gives us back our recall and fills us with hope.

We remember how to float.

We are able to approach a resolution.

I recall a time early in my ministry when I made a wrong decision. The anger of the whole community was heaped on me. Thankfully, one board member, an extremely quiet gentleman said, “who of us hasn’t made some mistake?” Those words were my lifeline as the murmurs grew fainter. I could carry on.

Through the voice of another person, the guidance of another hand, or the surge of courage that comes from beyond, our perspective changes.

We have come face-to-face with our vulnerability but are now lifted to a new plain.

From deep within we “remember how to float”. This is the essence of prayer.

CHARITY HARVEST | PRAIRIE HERITAGE

Sweat and satisfaction of harvesting for

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

PICTURE BUTTE, Alta. — The golden dust of barley harvest settled on Andre Visscher Aug. 21 as he stood in a field and thought of other harvest gold he saw in Ethiopia last year.

The Alberta regional co-ordinator for the Canadian Foodgrains Bank visited recipients of funds from Canadian charitable farm projects.

One couple received two beehives and are able to sell the resulting product.

“I had to eat a plateful of honey. It was a big plate. I ate most of it, but it was hard. I had to eat with my hands, too,” said Visscher, as he recalled the gratitude of the Ethiopian family and their delight at presenting him with the treat.

The beehives, bought with funds from Canadian growing projects, allowed the parents to feed their six children and keep them in school.

On this day, Visscher was watching farmers in the Picture Butte and Iron Springs areas combine a field of tworow barley, haul it away and bale up the straw.

Proceeds from marketing the grain and straw will be matched four to one by the federal government and used for food aid and food security projects in other countries.

T h i s ha r ve s t b e e w a s o n e o f 3 4 foodgrains bank projects in Alberta this year and one of 200 across Canada grown on 4,500 acres.

Last year, such projects allowed the foodgrains bank to provide $44 million in food aid and food security projects in 36 countries.

Leighton Kolk, a farmer from Iron Springs who sits on the local organizing committee with five representatives of four area churches, hopes the project will raise $80,000 to $90,000. It’s the 12th year that a foodgrains project has been organized in this area.

“We did the math once. It was fairly significant. It’s knocking on a million dollars over the 12-year time,” said Kolk.

This year’s crop, which yielded 70 to 90 bushels per acre, was marketed before the combines rolled.

Kolk said the barley was auctioned off in 10-ton lots after the regional 4-H show and sale earlier this year. Most of it was bought by feedlots, which paid more than the $220 per ton market price at the time.

“We sold the straw at the same time, so the straw is going to a bunch of different ranchers around here,” Kolk said.

Visscher said 2012 should be a good year for the charity because of higher commodity prices. He said some of the proceeds will be used in sub-Saharan Africa, where a drought has left 16 million people without sufficient food.

“So far we’ve spent over $10 million in that area alone,” he said.

He wants to go back to Africa in the future to help with food security projects and see how the work of Canadian farmers and an interdenominational charity translates into help for others.

Visscher retains the vivid memory of praying with an Ethiopian family.

“They asked me to pray with them. I prayed the Lord’s Prayer and I got to the part, ‘and give us this day our daily bread.’ I’ve prayed the prayer a hundred times, but I never included the people of Ethiopia in that.

“Now when I pray, I always think, ‘this includes the people of Ethiopia.’ ”

COMMODITIES | SUPPLY AND DEMAND

World grain, oilseed prices spark gov’t concern Low supplies | Inflation, distribution problems and shortages have officials worried about riots over food prices PARIS/LONDON, (Reuters) — Poor crops and high global food commodity prices might cause leading members of the Group of 20 nations to trigger an emergency meeting.

The worst U.S. drought in more than half a century and poor crops from the Black Sea bread basket have limited supplies and driven prices to record levels.

France, the United States and G20 president Mexico were expected to hold a conference call at the end of August to consider whether an emergency international meeting is required, aiming to avoid a repetition of the food price spike that triggered riots in poorer countries in 2008.

Yet even as the third grain surge in four years stirs new fears about food supply and inflation, many say the world’s powers are no better prepared to rein in runaway prices.

“Beyond words, expect little from the G20 on rising food prices,” said Simon Evenett, a former World Bank official who is now professor of international trade and economic development, University of St. Gallen, Switzerland. He described the G20’s record on trade as “feeble.”

Apart from a global grain database, which has yet to be launched, and the Rapid Response Forum that authorities are considering convening for the first time, the G20 has few tools.

Instead, it must intervene through influence, perhaps urging the United States to relax its ethanol policy in response to the crisis — difficult only months before a presidential election that may be won or lost in Midwest farm states — or urging Russia not to impose an export ban, as it did two years ago.

“With a string of broken promises o n p ro t e c t i o n i s m, n o s e r i o u s enforcement, monitoring well after the horse has bolted, and a tendency to pull their punches, any G20 promises on food trade won’t be taken seriously, by the G20 themselves or by anyone else,” said Evenett.

The group is hindered by the widely differing views of its diverse members, split between big consumers and producers.

A senior Brazilian government official said that only a major food crisis would raise pressure on the G20 to call for intervention in physical commodity markets, something countries such as the United States and Canada typically oppose.

Benchmark Chicago corn rose to an all-time high last week after the U.S. Department of Agriculture cut its production estimate 17 percent.

The U.S. uses 40 percent of its corn crop to produce ethanol, drawing criticism for using food for fuel when hunger is widespread in some poorer countries.

“They (G20) might talk about the U.S. ethanol mandate requirements, but I don’t see them making any massive responses at the moment. They don’t have a lot of tools at their disposal,” said analyst Muktadir Ur Rahman of Capital Economics.

UN’s food agency stepped up pressure on the U.S. to change its biofuel policies, arguing it was more important to grow crops for food rather than fuel.

The UN Food and Agriculture

Organization’s food index jumped six percent in July to higher than in 2008 and the FAO warned against the kind of export bans, tariffs and buying binges that worsened the surge four years ago.

The European Commission has also faced extensive criticism of its biofuel policy for using land otherwise devoted to food crops. Scientists have also argued that the policy fails to achieve its environmental goals.

A French agriculture ministry official said countries on the conference call would decide whether to convene the first meeting of the Rapid

Response Forum. The body was created last year to promote early discussion among decision-makers about abnormal market conditions, with the aim of avoiding unilateral action.

“If the situation requires it, a meeting of the Rapid Response Forum could be called as soon as the start of September,” the official said, adding that the forum could hold its discussions in person or by a conference call.

A commission spokesman said its agriculture department was “following the situation on a daily basis” and

that the commission would be involved should the G20’s Rapid Response Forum decide to meet.

“Silos are full. There are absolutely no shortages in Europe,” he added.

Joseph Glauber, chief economist at the USDA, echoed this view.

“The good news is that global wheat and rice stocks are more plentiful than in 2007-08, but less corn and soybean meal means more wheat feeding (to livestock),” he said.

Glauber said there had been “discussions” about possibly convening a forum meeting at the same time as a regularly planned gathering in

October.

Charity Oxfam is among the groups campaigning for ministers to agree on beginning to abolish mandates and targets for biofuel production in the EU and in the United States.

“In 2011, 11 intergovernmental agencies produced a report to the G20 where it unequivocally said there was a link between increasing biofuels production and food price rises and recommended quite clearly that biofuels mandates and targets should be scrapped,” said Hannah Stoddart, head of economic justice at Oxfam Great Britain.

“Every day I get to walk outside and see what we’re building.

We can see our future when we step out our front door.”

Chinese consumers today value brand names and the quality they represent.

Economic change has been considerable in China since the early 1990s, and today there is an entire generation that has never known anything but prosperity, Andrew Wu said during a special seminar in Calgary sponsored by the Alberta Livestock and Meat Agency. “The speed of change is unprecedented anywhere in the world,� he said.

As well, imports are welcome, and there is potential for an exporting country like Canada.

However, Canada may have been too passive and needs to find ways to brand itself and offer quality goods. It has a reputation for plentiful natural resources and clean water, soil and air, but it needs to find something with which consumers connect.

Brands are hard to define and there is no specific model for selling them.

It also takes more work to sell a finished product as opposed to raw materials. “Nobody will wait for Canada to go up in the chain,� Wu said.

Trade missions visit China regularly, and he suggested rather than just meeting with government officials, Canadians need to visit supermarkets to get a better sense of what the new China is really like.

Born in Shanghai, Wu was educated at York University and worked at Maple Leaf Co., where he sold premix feeds to China.

He returned to China in 1993 to work for Christian Dior and later the Asian division of Sony.

Today, he is group president of LVMH Group for Greater China. The conglomerate represents 60 high end brands in liquor, cosmetics, jewelry and retailers such as Sephora.

Since the early 1990s, a growing taste for high end products has developed and as incomes improved, so did sales.

In the beginning, many Chinese were not accustomed to the new style of retail stores that offered self service and an array of choice. Today, many of those stores are posh, sophisticated outlets where quality is king.

While the country’s average annual income is still $4,000, the middle class is growing and there is an increasing number of billionaires. “ Their money was made with vision,� Wu said.

Since 2000, the government has projected seven percent annual growth in gross domestic product, but it has surpassed that by several percentage points each year. However, 2012 is projected to be around seven percent.

The lifestyle of the Chinese is changing. The country has had a reputation for being a cheap source of manufactured goods, but factory worker wages are improving, which could drive up costs but also mean they now have more money to spend.

There are 122 cities with more than one million people, and by 2025 probably 70 percent of the population will be urban based. At one time, most people were government employees but these days most work for private enterprise.

The demographics are also becoming younger. There are 1.34 billion people, and only one percent are in their 70s and 80s who live frugally.

Thirty-eight percent are middle aged and they are the first generation to have money to spend. They have a good understanding of what the old China was like and are enjoying today’s prosperity. They were among the first to start buying cars.

The youth are highly segmented.

There are 219 million people in their 20s and early 30s, 171 million teenagers and another 100 million children.

They are connected to social media and want choice and quality.

MANY ROWS TO GO

GRAIN TRANSPORTATION | RAIL SERVICE

Sask. producers await track assessment Engineering report will outline needed improvements

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Rail users in northeastern Saskatchewan will soon have a clearer picture of whether a section of unused railway between Birch Hills and Melfort is likely to be returned to service.

Sinclair Harrison, president of the Hudson Bay Route Association, said an engineering study assessing the line’s condition is in its final draft and could be approved for public viewing within the next few weeks.

Canadian National Railway, which owns the section of track, must review and approve the report before it is published and made available to potential buyers.

CN has placed the track on a threeyear list of rail assets that are scheduled for discontinuation.

The line, part of CN’s Tisdale Subdivision, hasn’t officially been offered for sale, but Harrison said that could happen at any time, presumably after the engineering report outlining track deficiencies and necessary upgrades has been completed.

A second section of CN Tisdale, between Crooked River and Hudson Bay, had also been listed for discon-

tinuance, but CN recently confirmed that it intends to retain that section and return it to service.

The rail route from Birch Hills to Hudson Bay represents the most d i re c t l i n k f o r p ro d u c t s b e i n g shipped from Prince Albert, Sask., to the Port of Churchill in northern Manitoba.

It could also serve as an alternate route for export products originating in the Saskatoon area, including potash.

The HBRA took a lead role in conducting the engineering study on the Birch Hills to Melfort section of CN Tisdale.

Harrison said conducting a study in advance of the sale process would allow prospective buyers to assess the line’s commercial feasibility with greater accuracy. It would also reduce the likelihood of the line being abandoned and removed for salvage value.

FARM PROGRAMS | THINK TANK REPORT

Farm definition too romantic: report Policy makers out of step | Think tank says misconceptions create ineffective programs

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Traditional views and descriptions of the farm sector become less relevant as farms grow in size and production becomes more concentrated on larger operations, says a new think-tank report.

Government programming should be designed to recognize the new

Auto & Transport/Trucks/Trailers

This is where you’ll f indit.

reality of fewer and bigger farms rather than a “one size fits all” model that aims to serve all classes of farmers, it added.

Government definitions of a farm and popular conceptions of the “family farm” are part of the problem, according to researchers Larry Martin and Al Mussell of the George Morris Centre in Guelph, Ont. Their report is an analysis of the trends shown in the 2011 federal census of agriculture.

They argue that a key culprit in misconceptions is the Statistics Canada census calculation of the number of Canadian farms, often used by policy makers and farm advocates. It indicates there are more than 200,000 farms in Canada.

In the 2011 census, 54 percent of those farms recorded gross revenues of less than $100,000.

Martin and Mussell argue that the agricultural census farm definition is outdated, counting tens of thousands of smaller farms that are not commercially viable as stand-alone operations. A farmer hoping to make a living must have revenue of at least $250,000 and more likely $500,000 or more, they say.

The report argues that the industry is changing faster than the debate.

“With the changes in farm size and structure that are occurring in agriculture, the census definition of farm operator is likely becoming quite meaningless,” said the George Morris report.

“For all intents and purposes, commercial farms — those with enough sales to generate an independent living income — have sales greater than $250,000. Hence the vast majority of ‘census farms’ are not commercial operations.”

The report also said that the “romantic concept about family farms” is out of step with reality. The current farm structure is still deeply family oriented even as farms get bigger and many farms incorporate.

“The point is that farms with $1 million in sales are not huge corporate entities,” Martin and Mussell argued.

“The vast majority of Canadian farms in all sales categories are owned and managed by families, including in some cases more than one generation.”

They challenge the common argument that corporate farming is becoming the norm.

“We are not seeing the demise of the family farm or the rise of ‘corporate’ or ‘factory’ farms,” says the report. “Rather, today’s farming technology allows for larger operations, many of which are structured as corporations for tax and succession reasons.”

Martin and Mussell also argue that the changing structure of agriculture should change the way policy makers and analysts view the power structure in the industry.

Traditionally, farmers were depicted as the weak link as hundreds of thousands of individual producers negotiated with increasingly concentrated buyers and input sellers.

“Surely the growing concentration of farms at least suggests that farmers would not be the victims of market power as might once have been the case, especially as the border become more open and communication becomes easier,” they said.

“Canadian farmers can more easily bargain with Canadian customers by having the alternative to sell elsewhere.”

CHILDHOOD OBESITY | NEW PROGRAM

Youth weight issues targeted by university Fighting fat in children | University of Saskatchewan program includes education, fitness and optional followup

BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A new initiative from the University of Saskatchewan aims to curb the trend of childhood obesity across the province.

Within Canada, research shows approximately a quarter of youth under 17 years old are overweight or obese. In Saskatchewan, that number rises to 29 percent.

Beginning in September, U of S students and officials from a variety of faculties will start to unroll Mind, Exercise, Nutrition, Do It, (MEND), a community-driven program of nutrition, education and physical fitness geared toward families.

“I think we just have some unfortunate situations where the opportunities aren’t available,” said Carol Rodgers, dean at the university’s college of kinesiology.

“The intent, of course, is to go provincewide and really be able to get to some of the more rural communities, some of the more northern communities, to provide them with the opportunity to have this kind of exposure.”

The three-year program will begin in Saskatoon this year, where youths — along with a parent, guardian or sibling — will enter into a 10-week program, requiring twice-weekly

About 25 percent of Canadian youth under the age of 17 are overweight. | sessions about nutrition and exercise. An optional followup program will continue to monitor participants’ progress online for several more months.

Participants who finish the program

can further their training and eventually lead and instruct future sessions.

In subsequent years, the program will move north to Prince Albert and surrounding communities and throughout southern Saskatchewan.

“Certainly MEND works around focusing on healthy physical activity and things that families can do together with, in essence, limited resources,” said Rodgers. “And I don’t mean that financially, even. It’s also

just access to fancy golf courses with golf clubs, as an example, where it may be often a situation that does create divide. MEND isn’t focused on those kind of things.”

It’s the first time the program has been brought to Saskatchewan, but it’s previously been employed elsewhere in the country, as well as the United Kingdom and Australia.

Rodgers said it comes with a proven track record of having a lasting effect on its participants.

Information collected during the program will add to a growing database from other jurisdictions, as well as contribute to other potential projects examining child growth, bone density and exercise adherence, said Rodgers.

“One of the interests that many of us have discussed is whether or not there are any differences between urban communities, rural communities, northern communities, and what impact things like resource availability do have,” said Rodgers, “And do you actually see the change in obesity rates in those different communities and what might be some of the causes around that.”

The initiative will be funded with $1 million from Saskatchewan Blue Cross.

RURAL MEDICINE | DOCTOR RECRUITMENT

More doctors seeking jobs and staying in rural Manitoba Recruitment, retention initiatives working | Manitoba government endorses recommendations of Brandon Medical Education Study

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

After years of struggling to recruit and retain doctors in rural areas, Manitoba is starting to make progress on the issue, says a rural health administrator in the province.

John Stinson, chief executive officer of the Interlake-Eastern Regional Health Authority, said more doctors are staying in rural communities and medical students are inquiring about jobs in small towns.

“I would say in the last three years, in particular, we’re seeing less turnover,” said Stinson, who was the chief executive officer of the health authority in southeastern Manitoba before assuming his new role this year.

“More and more of our (medical school) graduates are staying in Manitoba.”

Earlier this summer, the provincial government took additional action to address the rural doctor shortage when it endorsed recommendations from the Brandon Medical Education Study.

The study, which began in 2011, examined ways to increase the number of doctors in rural and northern regions. The study authors, including Brian Postl, University of Manitoba faculty of medicine dean, and Deborah Poff, University of Brandon president, dismissed the idea of opening a second medical school in Brandon.

Instead, they recommended training more doctors in rural communities by increasing the number of medical residency spaces in places like Winkler, Steinbach and Brandon.

In addition, they said the University of Manitoba medical school in Winnipeg should continue to admit more students from rural areas or students who have an interest in rural practice.

Last year, when a group of second year medical students toured hospitals and clinics in southeastern Manitoba, Stinson noticed that allotting more medical school seats to rural students was having an impact.

“A lot of them were from the southeast area, another three were from the Interlake and another two were from northeast (Manitoba),” he said.

JOHN STINSON INTERLAKE-EASTERN REGIONAL HEALTH AUTHORITY

The increase in rural students in medicine, combined with the expansion of the University of Manitoba medical school to 110 seats from 70, has shifted the supply/demand curve for doctors in the province, Stinson said.

“We’re actually having physicians, who are in their final residency year, calling (us) and saying Selkirk’s a nice community, Beausejour is a nice community…. Are there any opportunities there? Five years ago, that didn’t happen.”

Although provincial initiatives like the Brandon study are helpful, rural leaders are still struggling to lure doctors into their community, said Joe Masi, Association of Manitoba

Municipalities executive director.

A n d re c r u i t i n g a d o c t o r o f t e n involves dangling a lucrative financial package, Masi said.

“We have situations … with communities having to provide homes for doctors, or clinics and so on,” he said, from his office in Portage la Prairie.

“In our view, (these) are not municipal responsibilities. But because your health system is so important to have people stay in your community, municipalities are forced to do these things.”

Joan Clement, president of the Manitoba Women’s Institute, said that rural towns have to maintain their health services. Otherwise, people will simply pack up and leave.

“We as rural communities have to recognize that we have to take some initiative on our own,” said Clement, who lives in Russell, Man. Stinson understands the desire to keep doctors in the community, but said offering a house, cash or a clinic isn’t a long-term solution.

“If you say to someone, ‘I’ll give you $100,000 and a free house if you

come and work here,’ they’re likely going to do that, but they’re not going to stay. It’s not sustainable.”

A better plan is working conditions where a doctor can establish an appealing and challenging practice, without having to work 80 hours per week, Stinson said.

A service model where every community has a full service hospital with an emergency room is no longer feasible, Stinson said.

A hub and spoke model, where doctors live and work in a larger town in the region and also provide regular service in the smaller communities, is a more sustainable approach.

As well, there should be more of a focus on health care that keeps people out of the hospital, rather than running a hospital, he said.

Medical service has to evolve, Stinson said, so rural residents need to let go of the idea that losing the hospital equals losing the community.

“We need to get away from that (competition) of municipality against municipality, trying to keep health-care workers,” he said.

Rural businesses tout tour’s value Country Cruzin’s fifth year | Businesses open their doors to visitors to gain exposure and sales

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

BOW ISLAND, Alta. — Terrie Matz is a big fan of Country Cruzin’, an annual tour of agriculture and tourism destinations in southeastern Alberta.

“Just getting your name out is priceless,” said the owner of The Big Garden Centre, one of nine stops Aug. 16 on a self-guided tour of operations in the Bow Island and Medicine Hat region.

Matz admits it’s a lot of work to prepare for the tour. A hailstorm Aug. 14 didn’t help matters.

Her business on the outskirts of Bow Island specializes in bedding plants, shrubs and trees, flowerbeds and numerous planters she had prepared and labelled so visitors could identify the varieties on display.

This year’s event was the fifth annual Country Cruzin’ tour. Shelley

Dirk, business development officer with the Economic Development Alliance of Southeastern Alberta, said her group deems it a success in showcasing local farm produce, crop diversity and tourism.

“Comments were very, very positive. I think everybody would like to see it continue. The people that went on the tours were amazed at what they learned and the businesses themselves were very happy with the turnout,” said Dirk a few days after the event.

Participants could visit a greenhouse, sausage business, beef operation, garden centre, art club and berry farm, among other stops.

No official count of participants was taken, said Dirk, but 56 people stopped by County Fresh Farms, where she was stationed, and “they were quite amazed at what they learned about the operations and what’s going on behind the scenes.”

ERNA VAREKAMP ERNA’S BERRY FARM

As for producers who opened their farms and businesses to visitors, Dirk said they considered the exposure promising for potential future produce sales.

The self-guided style is also popular, Dirk added.

“There’s time to digest, pardon the pun, what’s actually offered along the tour.”

One of the stops requiring digestion was Erna’s Berry Farm, a U-pick operation that has expanded to in-

clude a restaurant.

The nine-acre property is owned and operated by Erna Varekamp, who serves many of her own fruits and vegetables in the restaurant.

Business picked up last year, she said of the operation just off Highway 3 on the road to a provincial park. That prompted her to expand seating on the patio.

The restaurant operates May to September, after which Varekamp helps on the nearby family farm and takes her variety of homemade jams and jellies to craft shows and markets.

“I’m having fun with this, and I can still have the kids around here too. I can combine a family life with this and I still can feed my family too. It all works out pretty well,” Varekamp said while serving customers.

“I don’t get much sleep now, but it will come again. It’s just seasonal, so you just have to do what you can do.”

Attention youth: town may need you Professionals retiring | Business owners need to get young people interested in taking over to keep community alive

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Forget all the worries about farmers getting old and retiring.

A recent study shows that a wave of retirements is moving toward rural Canada, but it’ll hit Main Street first.

However, researcher Ray Bollman said that while the retirement of rural professionals and service providers is a danger to small towns and the people who rely upon them, it is also a chance at rural revival and options for youth.

“You might have more opportunities than you thought,” said Bollman, a professor at the University of Saskatchewan and researcher with Brandon University’s Rural Development Institute.

He said farmers aren’t at the top of the soon-to-retire list he and fellow researcher Alessandro Alasia published recently, but many of the service providers they rely upon are.

“It’s the professionals, the people on Main Street, the accountants and doctors and lawyers, that have a higher likelihood of retiring in the next 10 years,” said Bollman.

Crucial business operators also might retire, such as hotel/motel operators and funeral home operators. Those businesses and professionals aren’t always easy to replace.

“Can a rural community maintain those jobs? Will they be able to attract young people to those businesses?” said Bollman.

With the grey wave coming, small towns and aging professionals and business operators need to start thinking about how to convince young people that there are good oppor tunities in small towns.

Many youth assume there will be no opportunities in their or other small towns, but if business operators or professionals plan to retire in a few years, they can let young people from the community know that jobs and businesses might be opening up.

Bollman said some could be attracted to summer jobs at small town offices if they believe it might lead to a partnership or taking over a business in future.

But it’s up to the small towns, the businesses and professionals to make sure the young people know that opportunities may soon be arising.

With support from his parents, Travis and Dawn, and his sister, Nicole, 17, he cut two 76 metre grain bags from last year’s canola crop.

Next, he overlapped two eight metre pieces and pegged them into the ground in a hay field near the top of Heart’s Hill, a local landmark and one of the highest elevations in the province.

Two full water tanks provide 9,400 litres for an hour and a half’s worth of cold fun. A hose stretched across the top of the slide with holes drilled every few inches allowed water to

trickle throughout the entire length.

A tap regulates the flow.

The Kennedys’ 7,000 acres of farmland stretches over several kilometres. Travis’s father, Clayton, and brother, Neil, share the work and returns. Now in its fifth generation, the farm grows wheat, canola, peas and barley, has a commercial beef herd and runs a small feedlot during the winter.

“It helped pay the bills at one time and now it just keeps us busy,” said Travis.

Travis and Dawn first met on the Luseland school bus, which they rode together for years, then married in 1992. Today, Dawn has taken over that school bus route.

After a stint at university, Dawn spent a year travelling and working in agricultural exchange jobs in Australia and Germany while Travis worked at various off-farm jobs in Western Canada.

Travis said with large family farms, members tend to specialize.

“You almost have too,” he said.

Dylan is the inventor, creating things from farmyard scraps.

Several years ago, he created this knight in (not so shiny) armour.

The chest plate was a discarded pick-up belt off the combine, the helmet a tin can, the sword was from the metal pile and horns were found in the field.

After an hour of water sliding Travis and Dawn Kennedy get back to work. Travis was spraying his fields for armyworms. operate the combines and trucks and look after meals.

Feats of engineering using secondhand farm parts are not new for Dylan, who recalled scrounging farm materials with his dad to build a suit of armour at age 15.

“Everything was recycled from the farm,” he said.

An old combine pick-up belt was fashioned into a chest plate. Duct work cut in half and bolted to a rub-

ber inner tube created moveable arm protection.

A sword came from a metal scrap pile and an old bucket and bullhorns became a helmet. “ Very typical of Dylan making things from the farm,” said Dawn.

“That group of kids was always up to some kind of thing like that. Imaginative. They did things like that.”

Added Travis: “That’s what’s good about the farm. You can find the

space and material.”

Dylan, who runs the grain cart and trucks, is not sure if he wants to farm full time and plans to study civil engineering at the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology in Edmonton this fall.

The farm has compensated for his departure by hiring help for the first time, said Travis.

“Could be interesting … it makes a busy time of year a little more busy.”

FRUIT HARVEST | PLUM RECIPES

Baked plums offer distinct flavour and smells TEAM RESOURCES

JODIE MIROSOVSKY, BSHEc

I

look forward to the tastes and colours of this season all year. Just a few steps from my door, the fresh flavours of my garden are my rewards for planting in the spring. I enjoy tender green peas, fresh carrots pulled from the moist dirt, sweet corn and ripe cherry tomatoes.

I especially enjoy the abundant seasonal fruit when preparing school lunches and harvest meals.

They satisfy our craving for something sweet, while providing the body with nutrients, fibre and hydration.

The easiest way to enjoy a plum is to pop one into your mouth, but baked plums offer a distinct taste and wonderful aroma while baking.

PLUM COBBLER MUFFINS 2 2 c.

1 c.

1 tbsp.

1 tsp.

1/4 c.

chopped plums flour 500 mL white sugar 250 mL baking powder 15 mL salt 5 mL melted butter 60 mL or margarine 1/4 c. oil 60 mL 3/4 c. milk 175 mL 1 tsp. vanilla 5 mL dash of cinnamon

Preheat the oven to 350 F (180 C).

In a small bowl, pit and chop the fruit.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients and make a well in the centre. Pour the wet ingredients into the well one at a time and stir by hand, then add plums carefully. The batter will be thick. Spoon into prepared muffin tins and sprinkle with cinnamon. Bake for approximately 30 minutes. Cool and enjoy.

You can also use fresh peaches instead of plums. Makes 12 muffins.

PLUM BREAD Serve this sweet bread with hot tea or coffee and a slice of cheese.

1 c. pitted and 250 mL chopped plums 1 tbsp. flour 15 mL 1/2 c. butter or margarine 125 mL 1 c. white sugar 250 mL 1/2 tsp. vanilla 2 mL 2 eggs 1 1/2 c. flour 375 mL 1/2 tsp. salt 2 mL 1/4 tsp. baking soda 1 mL 1/4 c. plain yogurt 60 mL (Greek is my preference for more protein) 1/4 c. brown sugar 60 mL Preheat the oven to 350 F (180 C).

Prepare one loaf pan. Toss to coat the plums with the first measure of flour and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter or margarine, sugar and vanilla. Beat in the eggs. In another bowl, combine the 1 1/2 cups of flour, salt and baking soda. Stir the creamed mixture into the dry ingredients, alternating with the yogurt until the batter is smooth. Stir in the plum mixture

and pour into the loaf pan. Cover the top of the batter with brown sugar.

Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool and slice.

flour 125 mL brown sugar 175 mL rolled oats 125 mL butter or margarine 125 mL cinnamon 1 mL nutmeg 1 mL

Preheat the oven to 350 F (180 C).

Add the sliced plums to a large mixing bowl, squeeze lemon juice over the fruit. Coat with the first amount of sugar and cinnamon and pour into a nine by nine inch (22 X 22 cm) baking dish. Set aside.

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, rolled oats, butter, cinnamon (second amount) and nutmeg.

Mix with a fork or pastry cutter until the dough is crumbly. Spread over the plums and gently press down with an open hand so the top is quite flat.

Bake for 45 minutes or until the fruit is bubbling and the top is golden brown. Serve warm.

Change this recipe by adding fresh blueberries to the plums or ground almonds or pecans to the topping.

HOW TO FREEZE Enjoy plums all year long. Freeze and use in baking. Here are a couple of methods.

Unsweetened: Wash and dry the fruit. Freeze them whole or halve them and pit them (my preference) and place on a baking sheet to freeze.

Once frozen, bag them in freezer bags or place in a sterile freezer container that seals and is free of air. Seal, label, date and freeze.

Dry pack sugar: Halve and pit. Pack in dry sugar using 3/4 c. (175 mL) to 4 c. (1 L) fruit. Pack in sterile freezer containers leaving 1/2 inch (1 cm) headspace or in freezer bags, removing the air. Seal, date and freeze.

PLUM BLUEBERRY SMOOTHIE A smoothie is another way to use frozen fruit. It is a great and healthy way to start the day.

1 c. frozen blueberries 250 mL 2 or 3 frozen plums, pitted and sliced juice of one lemon 1 c. plain or vanilla 250 mL yogurt Add ingredients to the blender and start slow with a gradual increase in speed. Blend for 15 to 30 seconds on high to make it lighter with more air.

If the mix is too thick, add a few tablespoons of water to achieve a good pouring consistency.

There are medical or dental reasons why you could have a bad taste in your mouth. There are medications that can also cause this to happen. Antibiotics are the most common and include varieties of penicillin, including Biaxin (clarithromycin) and Flagyl (metronidazole).

Captopril, used to treat high blood pressure, griseofulvin for fungal infections and lithium for regulating the mood swings of bipolar disorder can also cause a bad taste.

Chemotherapy treatment for cancer may do the same thing in addition to newer treatments for rheumatoid arthritis.

If you suffer from rheumatoid arthritis, you may also have Sjogren’s syndrome, which causes dry eyes and mouth. It is often worse at night if you sleep with your mouth open. You should keep a glass of water by your bed and sip on it as necessary. There are artificial teardrops for dry eyes.

Any infection in the mouth, tonsils or sinuses can also lead to a bad taste.

You may need to see a dentist to rule out dental decay or abscesses.

Recent studies have shown that antibiotics are not always the best solution to treating sinusitis.

You may be taking the wrong antibiotic or the bacteria have become resistant to it. You could try a nonprescription saline nasal spray or cold and sinus medications containing decongestants and antihistamines. Many cases of sinusitis will be resolved without any treatment.

ANTIBIOTIC USE IN ANIMALS The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is concerned about reports of some producers overusing livestock drugs.

The problem is that the bacteria slowly develop resistance, making the drugs less effective and that could lead to epidemics of untreatable or difficult to treat superbugs.

The FDA is proposing a voluntary system to start monitoring how these drugs are used on farm animals and to create guidelines for their use when medically necessary.

The guidelines suggest that farmers stop using certain antibiotics solely for enhancing production and use drugs only with veterinary supervision.

I applaud the reasoning behind this recommendation, but I would hate to have to call the veterinarian every time I give my sheep penicillin.

FAMILY PLANNING | SIBLING SPACING

Planned pregnancies a good start to life SPEAKING OF LIFE

JACKLIN ANDREWS, BA, MSW

Most parents adjust well to each new birth regardless of when it happens, but it is better to plan ahead rather than leave it up to Mother Nature

each other.

The irony is that the more your children appreciate their differences, the more likely it is that they will get along with each other.

Differences in age neither contribute nor distract from your children’s compatibility with one another.

Most parents adjust well to each of their children regardless of age differences and whether their families were strategically planned.

Q:

My wife and I had our first child a short while ago. He is a little boy, and what a delight he is. We are talking about having another child.The problem is that we are not sure when we should plan to do so.

Some people tell us to wait two or three years before having a second child, others tell us to get right at it.

We are confused.

We are not sure what is the best way to go.

What are your thoughts about when we might consider having another child?

I am glad that the two of you are talking about when to have another child and not just letting nature have its way with your family.

The more that you are able to agree with each other, the less likely your next child will be born in the midst of anxiety and uncertainty.

You have a number of concerns to consider when discussing your next child but I think the mother’s health is most important.

Your wife’s body has been traumatized both by her pregnancy and the delivery of your son.

Depending on how fussy your baby might be, and whether your wife has a few opportunities to regain her strength, she needs time to recover.

A child conceived before Mom is healthy might be at risk.

Some families want to have their second and third children as quickly as possible to get through the diaper stage and all night vigils all at once.

Other families choose to wait. They believe that spacing their children will let them spend more time with each one and give each of them special attention.

More important than the chronological spacing of your children is that you give each child opportunities to fulfill his unique and individual talents.

Dressing them alike or getting them to mimic each other is fun once in a while, but it should never displace the needs each child has to develop his or her own character.

Encourage your children to develop some boundaries between their lives, listen to the concerns each has individually, and if they choose not to attend each other’s hockey games or piano recitals, don’t make them feel guilty for not doing so.

Parents worry about whether or not their kids are getting along with

WEBSITE CHANGE | NEW AND IMPROVED

Farming the new

Facebook Facebook Timeline | Understanding how to navigate the changes will help producers promote their farm and provide an enriching experience for visitors

BY JOE DYSART FREELANCE WRITER

W

hile Facebook’s new design has left many farmers who market online in a scramble, migrating to the new, mandatory change need not be accompanied by gnashing of teeth.

Armed with insights from marketing experts, farmers and others involved in agribusiness should be able to easily navigate through the upgrade, and perhaps gain a competitive edge.

After working through an initial learning period to adapt to Facebook’s new look, producers should be able to use it more effectively to market grain or livestock.

In the most fundamental terms, changes at Facebook represent a move to standardize the look and feel of business pages on its site.

“The new functionality really does appear to have been introduced with brands in mind,” says Pete Goold, managing director, of Punch Communications, a web marketing firm.

Love it or hate it, the fact is that all farmers, especially those who sell direct to customers either off the farm or at farmers’ markets, will be forced to deal with the new look if they want their business on Facebook. Here are the guideposts.

Get acquainted with your new start page Probably one of the most farreaching impacts of Facebook’s upgrade is that the design format of every business start page — the page your visitors land on when they first visit you on Facebook — will be standardized.

Every business will be required to run a large banner image, also known as a cover photo, across the top of is start page. Peter Lee, chief executive officer of WireWalkersVA, a web design and marketing firm, likes the new approach.

“The large cover photo alone presents a fantastic branding opportunity,” he says.

But Andrew Campbell, owner of Fresh Air Media, a social media consultancy for farmers based in Appin, Ont., has mixed feelings.

“Like every Facebook change, there are good features and bad ones. I think the new landing page featuring Timeline is a nice piece, because it can help a business easily highlight their features in vivid, colourful pictures.

“The downfall is the fact there is less customization available.”

Beneath the cover photo, users are asked to work with a number of boxes, organized in a two-column format, which will showcase activity on your page. Some boxes will feature your farm or business’s activity — posts and announcements made by your farm, for example.

And other boxes will feature visitor activity— their posts, any “Likes” they’ve posted about your farm, and similar activity.

Running down the extreme right margin of they start page, Facebook also requires users to create a “Timeline” — a story in words and pictures that tells the history of your farm or business.

For farmers, the feature would be essentially a vertical list of hotlinked dates, which lead to posts and images chronicling they farm’s years of engagement with the community.

Use care selecting a banner image Facebook sees the banner image as a chance for you to give visitors a feel for your brand. So it’s prohibiting users from using the giant image simply to sell stuff, such as an image with a 50 percent off coupon.

It also prohibits users from embedding e-mail, web or mailing addresses into the banner image.

For optimum display, Facebook recommends your banner image measure 851 pixels by 315 pixels.

Create a mandatory timeline If your farm has a rich, interesting heritage, you’re in luck. With the aforementioned Timeline running down the extreme right margin of your page, you’ll be able to tell your farm’s story in words and images.

In practice, this will mean selecting a series of milestones’ in your farm’s history, which will appear as hot-linked dates stacked vertically on the right side of your start page.

“Growers will be able to show off the beauty, quality and history of their farms using the Timeline and Milestone features,” says Melonie Dodaro, a social media specialist with Top Dog Social Media, a social media consultancy based in Kelowna, B.C. “They can get the local markets more easily engaged with their business by showing the history they have with their area.”

A new feature, post-pinning enables your farm to anchor a post near the top of your start page for up to seven days. This is perfect for farms looking to add staying power to important company news.

Of course, the reverse is also true.

If my friend, Madeline, for example, adores your farm products and posts that review while on Facebook, her words will also probably pop up on your farm’s start page any time any of Madeline’s Facebook friends visit.

Hide/delete unwanted posts

Consider private messaging

Warning: Old unwanted posts on a previous Facebook business page may automatically be incorporated into your Timeline.

As a kind of counter-balance to the graffiti factor, Facebook has also introduced company/visitor private messaging with this latest upgrade.

The feature enables your farm to handle tricky customer service problems via private messaging.

If you’d rather not handle customer complaints in this way, Facebook enables you to eliminate private messaging altogether.

Pin important news/posts up top

Be aware of visitor graffiti One of the dicier elements of Facebook’s new start page is that it is so chillingly efficient at tracking what Facebook “friends”are saying about your farm.

Good or bad, all those posts will show in an activity box just below your banner photo. The box is put there by Facebook, and your farm has no way to remove it.

Put another way: your farm or business may spend tens of thousands or even millions of marketing dollars to ensure your start page on Facebook looks and feels just right.

But those efforts can be undone if my friend, Wilbur, has a bad experience with your farm and posts a nasty review.

Unfortunately, the way the new start page is designed, Wilbur’s nasty review may pop up, front and centre in an activity box on your Facebook business page for any of Wilbur’s Facebook friends who happen to visit your page.

Check out the new admin panel Virtually every aspect of your Facebook presence can be

managed and monitored from the new admin panel. Here, you can work with page and privacy settings and engage in private messaging with visitors.

You can also monitor visitor activity with admin panel, including who’s “liking” your brand.

“From a research and review viewpoint the new admin panel is much more user-friendly,” says Goold.

Growers will be able to show off the beauty, quality and history of their farms using the Timeline and Milestone features.

FARM POLICY | COST-OF-PRODUCTION

Ont. farm program’s future uncertain: report Risk Management Program | George Morris Centre report says recent changes may make it less attractive to producers

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Ontario’s Risk Management Program has sent hundreds of millions of dollars to the province’s farmers but its future direction is uncertain, says a new report.

“The programs have paid out to participating producers, but the future direction is no longer as clear,” George Morris Centre executive director Bob Seguin wrote in a recently published analysis of the Ontario program.

The cost-of-production based program is often envied by farm leaders in other provinces, but the overall tone of Seguin’s analysis is skeptical.

Farmer participation rates in the program have been strong, but in part it was because the government gave producers a premium holiday in the first several years of the program, he argued.

That now is ending and farmer premiums will be required.

“Participation rates may vary as the net benefits from the program will change,” said Seguin.

Other factors also make the future of the RMP unpredictable.

The provincial Liberal government has promised to keep the program going, but spending will be capped at $100 million annually, forcing reductions in potential payouts.

Meanwhile, the federal government continues to refuse to co-fund the Ontario farm support program with its customary 60 percent contribution, arguing that any cost-ofproduction based program could lead to trade challenges.

Sequin said that threat remains

because international pork producer groups have highlighted Ontario and Quebec cost-based support programs as a concern as Canada heads into Trans-Pacific Partnership trade talks.

High prices in the grain and oilseed sector also limit the need for the program among farmers in those sectors, at least during this period of high grain prices.

As well, Seguin argued that the long-term impact of a cost-based support program has yet to be calculated.

The program has triggered payments because market returns vary, while input costs continue to rise.

However, the long-term consequences are unclear.

“The effectiveness and long-term benefits of payouts in this manner is still to be determined,” Seguin wrote.

“The impacts on innovation (and) competitiveness over time are not moot issues if the program design inadvertently discourages productivity improvements, efficiencies and search for better markets for the affected commodities.”

PULSES | HEALTH CLAIMS

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

D DISCO BIR

TS ON NOW UN

Pulse Canada hopes an expanded nutrition claim will help sell the peas, lentils, beans and chickpeas that farmers grow.

Health Canada has approved new scientific data that allows food manufacturers to include the statement “good source of protein” on many canned and dried pulses.

“It’s a great marketing opportunity for food companies,” said Pulse Canada spokesperson Courtney Hirota.

“The feedback that we get from food companies when we talk to them is that they want to be able to use those kinds of claims.”

Kabuli chickpeas had previously been the only pulse eligible for the protein claim.

Pulse Canada discovered that the protein efficiency ratio (PER) data used by Health Canada was outdated, undervalued or missing altogether.

T h e a s s o c i at i o n h i re d Ja m e s House, head of the University of Manitoba’s human nutritional sciences department, to conduct a study analyzing the protein quality of a variety of pulses.

His study determined that red kidney beans, navy beans, whole green lentils, split yellow peas, black beans, kabuli chickpeas and pinto beans all had PER levels that would qualify for the “good source of protein” claim.

The only major pulses that don’t qualify are red lentils and green peas.

Health Canada reviewed and adopted House’s data.

Pulse Canada is sharing the information with a variety of food companies in hopes of creating a new marketing opportunity for pulses.

“Logic would dictate that there will likely be a bump in sales but it’s hard for us to predict that,” said Hirota.

CANADIAN GRAIN COMMISSION | HARVEST SAMPLE PROGRAM

Growers, elevators urged to submit grain samples

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The Canadian Grain Commission is encouraging farmers to submit grain samples from this year’s harvest to its Harvest Sample Program.

Producers can request a sample package by contacting the commission or visiting the CGC’s website at www.grainscanada.gc.ca.

Growers who submit samples before Nov. 1 receive a free unofficial grade as well as a free quality analysis that assesses: • protein content in cereals, pulse crops, canola, mustard, flax and soybeans • oil content in canola, flax, mustard and soybeans • iodine values in flax • chlorophyll content in canola “Our harvest sample program is a voluntary program that gives producers important information about their grain,” said chief commissioner Elwin Hermanson. “(Producers will) have a good idea of what they have in their bins before they go to deliver to a primary elevator,” added Twylla McKendry, the commission’s program manager of analytical services.

McKendry said the commission usually distributes 7,000 sample kits to grain, pulse and oilseed growers.

Each kit contains sample envelopes that are filled with grain and returned to the CGC’s grain research lab for

The grain commission says its sampling program provides buyers with a picture of cereal crop quality across the country. | FILE PHOTO inspection.

Of those, 4,000 contain red spring wheat, 2,000 contain canola and 1,000 contain durum.

Returns from this year’s program are starting to trickle into the commission’s laboratory in Winnipeg , she said. As of last week, the commission had received 100 wheat samples from Western Canada.

McKendry said it is still too early to make any observations about the overall quality of this year’s prairie wheat crop.

The number of samples returned is expected to increase significantly between now and the middle of September, she added.

The grain is analyzed for quality and protein and aggregated into composite samples, which are

ground and used in baking tests and other end-use quality assessments.

“We do a full quality analysis on composites and that (information) … is published on our website so that buyers of Canadian wheat can see (if ) the quality of Canadian wheat is consistent from year to year.”

This year, the commission is expanding the program by requesting samples from primary elevators across the West.

“We’ve done that in the past,” McKendry said.

“With all the mergers and realignments, we thought it would be good to go back to the elevators, so we sent almost 3,500 envelopes to primary elevators and terminals as well.”

Commissioner Murdoch MacKay said involving major grain handlers

in the sample collection process will result in a more thorough analysis of the western Canadian crop.

“We’ve met with the Western Grain Elevators Association, the Inland Terminals Association of Canada and the CWB … so we have all the major grain handling companies … assisting us in getting samples for the program,” MacKay said.

“Our program, we believe, will be a lot bigger than it has been in the past.”

A more complete picture of cereal crop quality is beginning to emerge as harvest progress continues.

In Saskatchewan, provincial crop ma nag e m e nt s p e c i a l i s t G ra nt McLean said early-harvested cereal crops appear to be in good shape despite initial disease concerns.

Early reports suggest that the province’s winter wheat crops came off in good condition with average to above average yields.

More will be known about the quality of spring wheat spring and barley as harvest progresses.

“So far, the cereals look very good,” McLean said.

Producers across the province were wondering if fusarium, stripe rust and leaf disease would have a significant impact on 2012 cereal production but that doesn’t appear to be the case, McLean said.

In Manitoba, field crop pathologist Holly Derksen said cereal diseases do not appear to have significantly affected cereal crops.

It’s still early to make any definitive statements about overall cereal crop quality, but at this point, fusarium does not appear to be a major concern, she added.

“Overall, there haven’t been that many reports of fusarium in our cereal crops this year, so I would say we’re probably having a pretty low level year.”

Derksen said the weather was a bigger concern for many Manitoba growers.

Heat and lack of moisture affected cereal test weights and kernel sizes in many areas.

In some regions, a significant portion of the spring wheat crop could be downgraded to a No. 2.

Bruce Carriere, owner of Discovery Seed Labs in Saskatoon, said early test results on pedigreed seed samples from Saskatchewan suggest fusarium infection rates could be significant in some areas.

Early samples of winter wheat seed are showing variable infections rates with the highest disease pressure in the province’s northeast.

“If you go down along the U.S. border, the samples there look really nice,” Carriere said.

“The further north you go, the worse they get and the further northeast you go, the worse they get.”

Saskatchewan participates in an annual fusarium survey, but results from that program won’t likely be available for two or three months.

Farmers have been telling us that when it comes to growing canola they are looking for more than yield.

With outstanding yield potential, DEKALB brand canola hybrids also offer strong agronomics, an enhanced disease package, ease of harvest, and the superior weed control of the Genuity® Roundup Ready® system, to provide the total offering. Visit DEKALB.ca for more details.

FOR 30 M ON PRE-OONTHS WNED COMBINE S

THERE’S NO STOPPING A NEW CR COMBINE. OR YOUR PRODUCTIVITY.

TAKE THAT TO THE BANK.

A new CR Series Twin Rotor® combine cuts downtime as it maximizes daily crop throughput by up to 10%.

All-new Dynamic Stone Protection automatically directs stones into a dedicated trap, where they can be emptied just once a day so you can harvest without stopping. It also accelerates crop to improve throughput and doesn’t need additional power to operate. Take that extra productivity to the bank.

There’s no stopping the new CR combine with Dynamic Stone Protection. See one today.

U.S. DROUGHT | IMPACTS

FERTILIZER | DEVELOPMENT

Glencore could benefit Manure to fertilizer conversion from U.S. weather woes aids environment, producers Run-up in grain prices | Viterra takeover timed well

LONDON, U.K. (Reuters) — The impact that the worst U.S. drought since the 1930s is having on grain markets has created opportunities for Glencore, especially after its takeover of Viterra, company officials say.

“In terms of the outlook for the balance of the year, the environment is a good one: high prices, lots of volatility, a lot of dislocation, tightness, a lot of arbitrage opportunities,” said Chris Mahoney, director of agricultural products.

“I think we will both be able to provide the world with solutions, getting stuff to where it’s needed quickly and timely, and that should also be good for Glencore.”

Glencore’s takeover of Viterra was timed well, before the sharp run-up in grain prices, said chief executive officer Ivan Galesburg.

In March, it offered Viterra $6.1 billion for the company, which owns the biggest share of Western Canada’s grain storage and farm supply outlets, as well as nearly all grain storage capacity in South Australia.

“Viterra makes our business more global and where you might have some issues from time to time in Russia or Ukraine, in Canada and Australia we’re not going to have such issues,” Mahoney said.

He added that the hot, dry weather in the United States, the world’s biggest corn producer, will force a change in trade flows.

“The U.S. weather starting in midMay ... has been among the worst three or four years of the century, comparable to the dust bowl years of the mid-’30s,” he said.

The drought has sent corn and soy prices to all-time highs, raising the threat of a global food crisis such as the one in 2008, when surging prices of staple crops provoked rioting in some countries.

fuelled unrest in poor countries.

Mahoney questioned whether production and export forecasts from the U.S. Department of Agriculture would have to be revised again after being slashed in August.

“The U.S. corn crop, which in May was estimated to be 380 million tonnes, is now estimated to be only 270 million tonnes, but that may still be high,” he said.

He also questioned whether the United States would be able to export 33 million tonnes of corn, as forecast this month by the USDA, down from a previous estimate of 48 million tonnes.

“This is a very unusual situation,” he said. “We’ve had crop losses in 2008, there was a wheat problem, but I think we’ve seen nothing on the scale of this.”

Glencore reported a smaller than expected drop in first half profit Aug. 21 and said its $30 billion bid for miner Xstrata was not a “must-do” deal.

Russia, also hit by drought, has ruled out a ban on grain exports during 2012, but Mahoney said the situation would have to be monitored closely.

Russia shocked markets in 2010 with a ban on exports when the scale of harvest losses became clear.

“I think if the current export pace continues and if... they get most of the way through their exportable surplus by November or December, they could possibly have a rethink,” Mahoney said.

Glencore has a hedging strategy in place so that a ban on exports, would have a scant impact on the company.

Most phosphorus fertilizer in Manitoba now originates at mines in Florida, Morocco or other far-away spots. However, a more local form may soon be available in Manitoba, which might improve the water quality in Lake Winnipeg and boost crop yields at the same time Over the last 15 months, Hylife, one of the largest hog and pork producers in the country, has refined a process to convert hog manure into a phosphorus rich fertilizer that can be applied to annual cropland.

In t h e s p r i n g o f 2 0 1 1 , Hy l i f e installed a waste treatment plant at a 3,000 head sow barn near its company headquarters in La Broquerie, Man. After months of fine-tuning the process, the plant is performing at a near optimum level, said Sheldon Stott, director of environmental affairs at Hylife.

“What we get out of the process is our solids. We get upwards of 99 percent removal of our solids. Which, in turn, we get about 99 percent of phosphorus removal from our main waste stream.”

The coarse and fine solids are mixed with straw and other carbon materials. Then, the mixture is composted to yield a stable end product, Stott said.

The objective is to sell the phosphorus rich fertilizer to growers in Manitoba’s Red River Valley, he said.

“They’re importing phosphorus… so why not import it from eastern Manitoba?”

Based on new manure management regulations in Manitoba, which take effect November 2013, application of hog effluent and other manure will be based on a crop’s phosphorus uptake. Historically, regulations have been based on nitrogen absorp-

tion but the provincial government altered the rules in response to concerns about excessive nutrients flowing into Lake Winnipeg.

In southeastern Manitoba, which has the highest concentration of swine barns in the province, the regulatory changes will force hog producers to overhaul their manure management practices because soils in the region are already saturated with phosphorus. As well, the hog barns are mostly surrounded by pasture or hay land, which can absorb a limited amount of nutrients.

To show how the shift from nitrogen to phosphorous will affect producers, Stott used an example of applying 120 pounds of nitrogen per acre to pasture land.

“For a sow barn, that would take 7,500 to 8,500 gallons (of manure) per acre. (When) we shift to the new phosphorus regulation, we’re probably in the 1,500 to 2,000 gallons per acre range,” he said. “Forages don’t permit near as much export of phosphorus off of the land base…. It’s extremely restrictive to what you can apply.”

The existing plant serves a 3,000 sow operation and can treat 27 to 29 million litres of swine manure annually. The system can be scaled up to handle more effluent and Stott expects Hylife will install three to five

27 to 29 MILLION LITRES OF MANURE CAN BE TREATED BY THE LA BROQUERIE PLANT

treatment plants at its barns in southeastern Manitoba.

By treating manure at a particular Hylife barn and exporting the phosphorus to other parts of Manitoba, it frees up the land around that barn for manure from other Hylife facilities in southeastern Manitoba, Stott said.

Besides the appeal of buying a local fertilizer product, phosphorus from hog manure is known to boost annual crop yields, said Andrew Dickson, Manitoba Pork Council general manager.

“In the U.S., using organic manures gives them, as a rule of thumb, a 10 percent yield edge in terms of crop yield,” he said. “So if you grow 200 bushels an acre in Iowa you can expect to get an extra 20 bushels if you used hog manure.”

Most Manitoba growers now buy conventional phosphorus fertilizer at their local ag dealers so it may take time for growers to latch on to the hog manure alternative, Dickson said.

So far, Hylife has transported some of its fertilizer product to cropland but it hasn’t established a full production cycle and a sizable inventory to sell.

Realistically, most will likely end up on crops in the Red River Valley and eastern Manitoba because shipping the product more than 30 kilometres probably isn’t economic, Stott said.

For Hylife and other hog producers, the Manitoba and federal governments have developed a program that helps cover the capital cost of waste treatment plants. But operating a plant requires electricity, natural gas, chemicals and labour.

“We’re looking at anywhere in the range of four to five times our current operating cost, when it comes to… manure management,” Stott said.

“That translates to numbers that vary from $3.50 to $8 a pig.”

Growing Forward focus on exports risky for small farmers: NFU

NEW FARM SUPPORTS | CHANGES PROPOSED

Changes imminent, says B.C. ag minister AgriStability under discussion | Ag ministers to meet in Whitehorse to form a five-year plan

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Federal and provincial agriculture ministers have negotiated new farm support rules largely in secret, but British Columbia minister Don McRea figured his producers should be in on the secret.

Beginning in June, before any other minister, he began to brief farmers in the province about proposals for drastic cuts in business risk management program funding that are scheduled to be approved next month in Whitehorse and implemented April 1, 2013.

Led by a push from Ottawa, ministers have been negotiating new rules that will reduce farm support levels, reduce government BRM spending expectation by more than $2 billion over the next five years and switch some of those savings to investments in innovation and productivity enhancing programs.

The bulk of lower spending will

likely contribute to deficit reduction.

B.C. farm leaders resisted when McRae outlined details of proposed cuts, insisting that programs such as AgriStability are valuable even if operating under flawed rules.

“Farmers told me they did not want to see BRM programs destroyed,” he said. “They see value in programs like AgriStability. It is clear there will be changes and reductions in triggers, but it is important that the programs remain.”

The result is what some provincial ministers are calling a “B.C. hybrid” proposal for the Sept. 12-14 Whitehorse ministers’ meeting, where the principles of the next five-year program will be endorsed.

The hybrid proposal accepts significant cuts and the lowering of AgriStability triggers from 85 percent of historic margins to 70 percent.

However, the programs will be retained.

“I think we will see a 70 percent trigger as the base,” said McRae. “Many

farmers see that as too low, but we have to recognize that changes are coming.”

In fact, many Canadian Federation of Agriculture leaders insist that reducing AgriStability payment trigger thresholds will be a step on the road to abolishing the program because it will be ineffective and farmers will abandon it.

Other topics on the table In the ministers’ discussions, other components of existing programs will remain in place, including AgriInvest and AgriInsurance.

McRae said it is important that a deal be reached in Whitehorse so the next five-year plan can take effect next year. Details had not been settled five years ago, and implementation of the new farm policy framework was delayed by a year.

“We want to avoid that this time because a year of uncertainty does not help farmers,” he said. “I am hopeful

we will have a deal in Whitehorse.”

Part of the new deal will be a decision by the federal government to give provinces more power to decide on non-BRM program design and how to deliver the money that is largely provided by Ottawa.

“I think the idea of more flexibility for provinces is a good one so we can invest in our own priorities,” said McRea. At the same time, he advocates a continued role for federal oversight of national plans because Ottawa will continue to fund 60 percent of federal-provincial program costs.

“Provinces can best decide where research dollars or innovation dollars are best invested, but it also is important to have some federal leadership to make sure spending in one province is not duplicating research projects that are being done somewhere else,” he said.

“We will continue to need some federal co-ordination to make sure dollars are being spent wisely.”

OBITUARY | JOHN LYNCH-STAUNTON

Senator remembered by cattle sector for help after BSE crisis

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Retired Canadian senator John Lynch-Staunton, considered a friend of the Canadian cattle industry, died Aug. 17 at the age of 82.

Born in Montreal, Lynch-Staunton spent a lifetime in civic and public duty, beginning as a Montreal city councillor. He was appointed to the Senate by former prime minister Brian Mulroney in 1990.

JOHN LYNCHSTAUNTON FORMER SENATOR

Lynch-Staunton is a second cousin to former Canadian Cattlemen’s Association president Hugh LynchStaunton of Lundbreck, Alta.

“He was a very personable, bright

guy,” said Hugh Lynch-Staunton.

He said his second cousin had no agricultural background but nevertheless was able to help government understand the issues surrounding BSE when it was first discovered in Canada in 2003.

“He helped open doors for us,” said Hugh.

Lynch-Staunton served as government leader in the Senate and also as deputy leader and leader of the opposition in the red chamber.

He served on numerous standing committees and is said to have played a key role in the merger of the Canadian Alliance and Progressive Conservative parties. He was also a close friend of Academy Award winning Canadian actor Christopher Plummer.

Lynch-Staunton died in Pincher Creek, Alta., of a heart attack during a family reunion. He leaves behind his wife, Juliana de Kuyper, five children and numerous grandchildren.

On the eve of a five-year federalprovincial deal to redesign farm support programs, the National Farmers Union has weighed in with a denunciation of existing programs as too big oriented.

The new Growing Forward farm program framework to take effect April 1 is expected to reduce farm income supports and shift the focus to supporting farmers intent on making a living from market and export revenues.

In a brief published last week, the NFU argued that existing farm programs are wrong-headed.

They favour the large over the small and support an export-oriented agriculture policy that is bad for most Canadian farmers.

“One of our main points is that a lot of the business risks facing Canadian farmers are the result of federal policy, so there should be a re-orientation of policy away from export and big to make them more farmer friendly,” said NFU research and policy director Cathy Holtslander.

Part of the NFU argument is also that farm support programs should have lower caps on maximum payments to farmers so the largest farms do not reap the majority of benefits.

It calls for a reduction in the cap for AgriStability payments from the current $3 million per operation to $300,000.

“The current cap has created an incentive for highly risky operations to expand extravagantly,” said the NFU policy paper.

“Not only does this result in a transfer of public dollars to imprudent private businesses, but these large entities destabilize the market for other, smaller operators by flooding the market with their subsidized product.”

With federal and provincial agriculture ministers poised to sign a new five-year farm program framework Sept. 14 in Whitehorse, the focus will be on rules that reduce farm support eligibility under AgriStability and shift government attention to supporting investments in innovation, research and trade expansion.

Ministers may agree on program payment caps, but as a way to control pay-outs rather than to tilt the balance toward smaller farmers.

Holtslander said most of the market risks faced by farmers are because of federal policy that exposes them to export market volatility, import competition and market disruptions caused by approval of genetically modified varieties that are controversial in foreign markets.

She said despite high commodity prices, Canadian farmers continue to live through “a prolonged income crisis” that only a shift to more local production and a “food sovereignty” model will end.

“What we are asking for is a better agricultural policy overall and to have more fairness in how programs are delivered,” she said. “There must be more emphasis on the family farm and less on large corporate farms.”

WATER BUFFALO | MANAGEMENT

Water buffalo plans key to start-up farm B.C. dairy venture | Cheese made from buffalo milk is popular in health food stores

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

The water buffalo living on Sy Bennik’s dairy farm near Rimbey, Alta., are true to their nature. The 10 females and one bull take every opportunity to wallow in puddles and lie in mud.

“They certainly like the muck,” said Brad Bennik, Sy’s son and the owner of the water buffalo.

“If there was a pond, they’d be swimming in it every day. That’s their natural habit, to cool off in the water.

They definitely look for mud.”

The Alberta farm is a temporary home for the animals. Brad Bennik plans to move them to Vancouver Island this fall to start a small dairy operation along with his business partner, Steve Vermeer.

Bennik bought the animals in Ontario earlier this year. He declined to provide a price, noting only that

Sy’s son, Brad Bennik, got the herd in Ontario, and had the animals shipped to his Dad’s Farm. The buffalo will live there until Brad moves them to a dairy farm he plans to set up on Vancouver Island. | F. SCOTTY AITKEN PHOTO water buffalo are more expensive than commercial dairy cows.

Dairy is in the family, and both Bennik and Vermeer work on a dairy

farm in B.C., where Bennik also has a dairy cow hoof-trimming business.

“We just wanted to get into dairy, but there’s definitely no way to do it out here unless you have millions of dollars, so this is kind of a unique opportunity. It’s kind of a risk but we thought we’d give it a try,” Bennik said.

“We both kind of like the smallscale holistic way of farming.”

He and Vermeer don’t yet have property in B.C,. but with several small dairies going out of business on the island, he thinks there will be lease or purchase options.

The plan is to milk the water buffalo and sell it to make mozzarella cheese, a high end product that Bennik said is attracting attention from health food stores and high-end restaurants, where buffalo mozzarella is often seen on the menu.

He thinks a cheese-maker on the island will be the initial market for water buffalo milk.

The animals are fairly easy keepers.

In terms of production, they are fed more like beef cattle than dairy animals, but with little grain.

They weigh 1,200 to 1,300 pounds at maturity and can be milked using standard dairy facilities, although Bennik said that has a few challenges.

“If you have patience, they’re not difficult, but its definitely different than milking your regular Holstein,” he said.

“They like to kick a little bit more and their milk let down is a little different as well. It’s a little more hands on. I kind of like that.”

Water buffalo are generally docile, and Bennik said the animals quickly surround his father when he checks them in the field.

“They’re a little too friendly, sometimes.”

The heifers will calve in spring, and Bennik said the goal is to maintain a herd of about 20 in the B.C. location.

Water buffalo operations already exist in B.C., as well as in Alberta and Ontario.

With speculation swirling late last year about agricultural implications if Canada joins Pacific Rim trade talks, Agriculture Canada officials were suggesting privately that Canada keep its eye on the European ball.

In preparation for a November 2011 meeting between deputy agriculture minister John Knubley and his trade department counterpart Louis Lévesque, departmental officials prepared a briefing note for Knubley noting that unless Japan is involved, a Trans-Pacific Partnership deal that Canada wants into would not mean much for agriculture.

“Most of Canada’s agriculture and agri-food trade with the current TPP membership would be covered by our existing free trade agreements

with the United States, Peru and Chile,” the background briefing note said.

As well, there was also an expectatio n that Ca na da wo u ld resist demands from TPP members New Zealand, Australia and the United States to dismantle supply management protectionism.

Meanwhile, ongoing trade negotiations with the European Union hold far more potential for the food sector, said the briefing note.

It also said Canada wants European concessions on non-tariff barriers that have kept many Canadian products out of European markets because of restrictions on genetically modified seeds and hormone-treated beef.

A separate briefing note said the Canada-EU trade talks would not be successful for agriculture without European concessions.

FOOD AID | FOOD ASSISTANCE CONVENTION

Foodgrains bank OK with aid policy changes More ways to help | The updated agreement allows organizations to provide cash or vouchers and offer a wider range of food

Centennial Column Celebrating 100 years of students at the College of Agriculture and Bioresources. The Centennial Column is a weekly feature highlighting the history and present successes of the college.

BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A new international treaty addressing global hunger policy has been met with approval from the Canadian Foodgrains Bank, although it has concerns about the country’s long-term commitments under the pact.

Negotiations for the Food Assistance Convention concluded in the spring and include a number of changes from the 1999 Food Aid Convention, which saw Canada provide 420,000 tonnes of annual emergency food aid.

That document had received a number of updates and renewals dating back to its inception in 1967.

The previous pact included multiyear commitments from its members, but that requirement has been dropped in the new agreement.

Instead, member countries will make annual commitments determined by monetary value.

The Trans-Atlantic Food Assistance Dialogue, a coalition of food aid programming non-governmental organizations, says that could lead to a decline in predictability and support from member countries.

Stuart Clark, senior policy adviser at the Canadian Foodgrains Bank, is calling on the Canadian government to continue to support aid at its current level, a commitment of more than $220 million per year.

“Before, all of the commitments were made in-kind. Thereby, if the price of food went up, you still were going to provide that amount of food,” he said.

“Now, if you make a commitment in cash, if the price of food goes up, you provide less food.”

Annual commitments will be cal-

The most noticeable positive change is the increased flexibility in terms of how we improve the quantity or quality of people’s food consumption in the short term.

STUART CLARK CANADIAN FOODGRAINS BANK POLICY ADVISER

culated based on the calendar year rather than the crop year.

An official with the Canadian International Development Agenc y defended the new agreement.

“As parties have increasingly untied their food aid budgets and provided cash instead of commodities to food assistance partners like the United Nations World Food Programme, using tonnage measurement became ineffective and difficult to monitor,” the official wrote in an e-mail.

“Parties expressed an interest to move towards a new convention that would include a broader range of eligible interventions … and a more effective commitment structure that reflects these newer approaches.

There was also a desire to see a greater emphasis on the quality and nutritional value of food.”

The foodgrains bank received $27.7 million from the Canadian International Development Agency in 2011-12, according to its annual report.

“We help Canada meet its commitment, so arguably if the Food Aid Convention had fallen into total disrepute, that might’ve raised very big questions about why the Canadian government would continue to pro-

vide funding to the foodgrains bank,” said Clark.

The updated treaty includes several positive changes, he added. Cash and vouchers, in addition to food and seeds, are included as short-term aid, as is an emphasis on food assistance grants rather than loans.

The foodgrains bank and other NGOs have been calling for an updated agreement for a number of years.

“The most noticeable positive change is the increased flexibility in terms of how we improve the quantity or quality of people’s food consumption in the short term,” said Clark.

“The fact that we can now use a much wider range of foods, that there’s no limitation on the amount of additional nutrition that we provide.”

Member countries have until November to ratify the agreement, which is expected to come into effect in January.

“There were a few of these things that it was very clear needed to be updated,” Clark said.

“Indeed, it seemed to me that if we didn’t push for these changes … it might just kind of drift right off the map as being kind of irrelevant.”

Langostino, Lime Shrimp and Molten Coral coleus varieties.

Plants prove survival of the fittest

By Kris Foster When Bob Bors isn’t breeding fruit crops, he shifts his attention to tinkering with a perennial plant native to tropical climates. And his new series of coleus is gaining international attention.

“For about a decade I have used coleus to teach plant breeding and propagation to classes,” said Bors, assistant professor of plant sciences in the College of Agriculture and Bioresources.

The results of a decade of work is a family of coleus featuring leaves with bright colours and finger-like extensions branching out from the main leaf.

The unique plants are now licensed to be sold throughout Canada, the United States, Mexico and perhaps beyond.

“I posted some photos of these plants on an international coleus website.

Following that, four companies expressed interest in selling our new varieties,” explained Bors. “For each generation we keep the weirdest and most beautiful plants to breed the next generations.”

In the end, the U.S. gardening company Hort Couture was awarded the rights to sell the plants in North America, he explained, adding that through the licensing agreement, the U of S plant breeding program will get four cents for every cutting sold. “They have the licence for the whole family, about eight different varieties of coleus, which they have called Under the Sea Coleus. All the plants have unusual shaped leaves and colouring; some look like lobster claws or coral, so they went with a sea theme and names like Hermit Crab, Lime Shrimp and Red Coral.”

The crustacean-like series offered by Hort Couture is having quite a bit of success, including winning the Garden Idol competition from the American Nursery and Landscape Association, and receiving profile in Better Homes and Gardens magazine.

That success is creating some buzz outside of North America too, with requests for the new varieties coming from as far away as South Africa, Europe and Japan. “Coleus is typically grown and raised in tropical places like the Caribbean and shipped,” he explained. But how was a plant from a tropical climate grown at the U of S in the middle of a prairie winter?

The answer, according to Bors, is through neglect and by accident. “I never put these plants outside. They were in our ‘G’ greenhouse that has temperature control issues. That greenhouse tends to blast the heat too strongly in winter, then the greenhouse vents open up to let cold air in to regulate the temperature. So the coleus get shocked with a hot-cold cycle during winter. In the summer, we abandon them for our fruit-breeding program but the greenhouse automatically waters and fertilizes the plants.

“They have life’s basics but because of neglect they have insects, shading and crowding issues. It really was survival of the fittest for these plants. They survived our neglect and extreme temperature changes. They should be able to survive anything,” he said with a laugh. www.agbio.usask.ca

PRECISION AG | IRRIGATION

Variable rate technology refined Technology taken to next level | Project uses field data and prescribes fertilizer and water requirements in each zone

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

CHIN, Alta. — Jeff Bronsch knows polygons. Boy, does he know polygons.

The president of Sunrise Ag, a farm production management business based in Taber, Alta., looks at thousands of shapes every day as he examines data in field maps.

From two potato fields, he deciphers maps of electrical conductivity, soil moisture, topography, elevation, infiltration capacity and growth stage data. He collates that with data and images from RTK, GPS, satellite, and aircraft photography.

Then he writes a prescription for computerized application of a specific amount of water to specific areas of the field — differing among the thousands of polygons on his maps.

And he changes that prescription weekly based on plant growth stage, rainfall and disease issues.

Sound complicated?

You ain’t seen nothin’ yet.

Add in a fertigation system, which applies varying rates of liquid fertilizer to multiple sectors of the field based on observed and tested plant development and health, and you’ve got a job with mind-boggling data and equally boggling possibilities.

There’s one more thing: the field

has a control strip, a strip for half the recommended rates, and the “rock star” area where inputs are calculated throughout the season for maximum production.

Bronsch is working with potato farmers Chris and Harold Perry, who initiated the VRI and variable rate fertigation project. It’s the first time such detailed prescriptions have been attempted and applied anywhere in Canada and quite possibly the world.

The data is complicated but the goal is simple.

“It’s just utilizing the technology to its full capacity,” said Chris Perry.

VRI technology has been around for years but modern field mapping techniques can take the application several steps further.

“I think the difference today is with the remote sensing, being able to take a picture and have it tell us information, and the variable rate irrigation. We focus on irrigation because it’s the high value input/output for the crop.”

Chris, president of a Perry Farms initiative called Grow the Energy Circle Ltd., said irrigation accounts for half of the farm’s electrical use.

VRI has the potential to reduce that use and associated cost, while maximizing potato production and returns.

Chris Perry, president of Perry Farms’ Growing the Energy Circle Ltd., examines field mapping data in his office at the family’s potato domes near Chin, Alta. Chris and his brother, Harold, are involved in the VRI and variable rate fertigation research project that is the first in Canada.

Jeff Bronsch checks an electronic panel at the centre point of an irrigation pivot in one of the Perry’s potato fields. Variable rate irrigation and fertigation are done using prescriptions Bronsch devises using field maps, soil moisture data and information on crop demands. | BARB GLEN PHOTOS Two potato fields with pivots, one of them 130 acres and one 115, are involved in the project. One uses Valley irrigation equipment and the other uses Zimmatic, each with VRI technology.

They have slightly different systems but each has sprinklers electronically controlled by pressure valves that will allow water to pulse as well as simply shut on and off.

Using data from field maps and images, Bronsch uses a system called FieldLook to write prescriptions that dictate how much water each sprinkler distributes, thus minimizing flow in low spots and adjusting for slope and soil type.

“It’s really a blend between soils and topography … the slope of the field and the depressions, and growth,” said Bronsch.

“As the season goes on, we put more emphasis on growth. Where it’s strong, we want to meet the needs of that growth.”

Potatoes are a high-input crop typically grown on lighter soils. Plants have a shallow rooting depth and require soil moisture no less than 65 percent.

“So we have a shallow rooted crop.

We have a light texture and we have a pretty aggressive allowable depletion level, so it doesn’t leave us a lot of manageable water in the soil,” said Bronsch.

“We really have to be on top of things when we irrigate potatoes because in some cases, with the light sand, we only have maybe 20 millimetres of water between that allowable depletion in field capacity that’s available to the crop.”

Ted Harms, soil and water specialist with Alberta Agriculture’s irrigation branch, is also part of the project, which he said is the first of its kind in Canada.

Though VRI capability has long been available, farmers haven’t embraced it.

As technology improves, allowing better control through GPS and related electronics, Harms thinks more people will see the advantages.

Harms is monitoring soil water content using rain, soil water sensors near the surface and several profiling sensors in different field zones.

“It’s fairly intensive monitoring of soil water and irrigation applica-

tions,” he said.

Bronsch uses this data to confirm the accuracy of his irrigation prescriptions and to write new ones that change with conditions and crop growth stage.

The ability to change irrigation and fertilizer applications many times during the growing season is key to the project, said Perry.

“A lot of people are taking VR technology and will take histories and will take the Veris map and put on prescriptions at the start of the year.

What we’re trying to do is utilize the technology to not only adjust our water input, we’re also adjusting our nutrient input, specifically nitrogen.”

Bronsch said the fertilizer aspect created challenges. While trying to deliver precise amounts of nutrients to specific areas of the field, some parts received less than optimum water.

“We had to tie an injection system in, put a flow meter in the system to make sure that that rate stays the same, so it created a few challenges in figuring out how much product we’re going to put on, how much water

we’re going to need,” said Bronsch.

“It certainly was challenging to me, anyway, trying to figure this all out. I think we’ve got the kinks out of it. And we’re certainly pushing some of the hardware to meet the needs in the field.”

Ideally, the amount of water and fertilizer applied will maximize production throughout the field, creating one management zone.

“It sounds simple in concept, which is our job, and we’re utilizing Jeff to make it work,” said Perry.

Though the amount of data is vast, ideally he and Harold would like it boiled down to three zones of high, medium and low water and fertilizer demands.

Then, the two would like to be able to sit down each morning, examine the data and devise a field prescription for the week.

Harms agreed that greater simplicity will be key to any greater adoption of VRI and VR fertigation.

“Jeff has expertise that few have.

There’d be no way most people could do this with the prescriptions and stuff,” said Harms.

“It’s a whole realm and level of complexity in an irrigation circle than there was before, and fertigation, that takes it to a whole new level.”

Harms said in-field monitoring will always be needed so producers will have confidence in electronic field data.

“And it’s going to have to be localized. It’s a localized prescription that you need and irrigators have to have the person making the prescriptions in fairly close proximity to their operations.”

Bronsch agrees on the need for simplicity.

“I think there’s a great opportunity for growers with VRI and there’s a great opportunity for…water savings

and dropping the amount of inputs we have to put into it. But there has to be a fairly simple process for a grower to deploy that.”

Success will be measured by field production but even that is easier said than done. It will involve frequent sampling during harvest. A seven-foot test strip gives an estimate of tons per acre.

“We have a heck of a time predicting yield,” said Perry. “We go out and dig in the field and we’ll get dramatic differences on seven foot digs all the way through.”

By managing irrigation and fertilizer, the Perrys hope to even out potato production levels and maturity in the field. Potatoes of similar

quality will store well and qualify for bonuses offered by processors.

“That’s where there’s a real value for a grower that has fields that are challenging,” said Bronsch. “VRI certainly has a benefit, and that would probably extend to all crops.”

The project has surprised and intrigued irrigation equipment manufacturers, said Perry. It was the first install of some of the equipment for local suppliers.

Bronsch said it’s now evident that systems are needed to feed more digital input directly into the irrigation system so growers can make changes quickly and conveniently from a home computer or handheld device.

“We’re hoping to have the discussion with (manufacturers) throughout this process to improve those tools so the grower can utilize the hardware because it’s the software and the interface with that hardware that’s important here,” he said.

“I think that will come. I’m hoping there will be value to the manufacturers to hear that from this project and what we’re doing here, to see that

there’s opportunities to make it easier for the grower.”

The Perrys plan to continue the project next year. Harms said he’s looking forward to it.

“We can get fairly comfortable and get fairly complacent with what we do, but I told (Chris), thank you for forcing us all into the deep end, because that’s what he’s done. We’ve really gone out of our comfort zone here.”

VARIABLE RATE | IRRIGATION

Precision ag software considers water a valuable input

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

OUTLOOK, Sask. — Precision agriculture technology has advanced to include application of the most basic nutrient — water.

Instead of a uniform application of water across an entire quarter section, variable rate irrigation software allows farmers to program their pivots to deliver different amounts of water at different times and in different parts of the field.

Some areas might receive no water at all.

Farmers who irrigate should make the same kind of decisions about water as they do about their other inputs, said Dale Tomasiewicz, an irrigation agronomist at the CanadaSaskatchewan Irrigation Diversification Centre at Outlook, Sask.

“None are free,” he noted at a field day at the centre.

You may look at your topography and determine a need in only seven or eight zones.

BARRY VESTRE SASKATCHEWAN IRRIGATION DIVERSIFICATION CENTRE

“We have to make sure we are applying what we need.”

Irrigation farmers haven’t always been able to address the variability within their fields when it comes to water.

Tomasiewicz said the downsides to putting water where it isn’t needed are cost and waste, and operational problems such as increased disease, nutrient loss and environmental damage from drainage.

The economic benefits of using just the right amount of water are matched

by the environmental benefits, he said.

VRI begins with topographical maps that identify the zones of a field.

Soil type, sloughs, bluffs and crop type are factors that could determine the zones.

A prescription for water application is developed and programmed into the computer that controls the individual sprinklers on a pivot. A GPS signal delivers the message to the pivot.

Barry Vestre, operation supervisor at the centre, said there are 30 controlled zones along the pivot from the point to the outside tower.

Each field can be separated into as many as 5,400 irrigation zones as the centre pivot shifts every two degrees, 180 times.

While some areas of the field are getting 25 millimetres of water, others could be getting a portion of that, or none at all.

As he spoke to farmers on the field tour, nozzles turned off and on at various intervals while others stayed on all the time.

“We used all 30 zones,” he noted, but the prescription can be less complex.

“You may look at your topography and determine a need in only seven or eight zones.”

Each drop tube from the pivot has a pressure regulator and a control valve adjusts each time the water flow changes.

The irrigation centre is testing variable rate irrigation on a Valley irrigation unit.

Arlen Simonson of Valley West Irrigation, the local dealer, said the company partnered with CropMetrics, a precision agriculture company, which uses EM38 mapping data to set the prescription.

He said the company tested the system for three years before launch-

ing it last year and has found yield increases of nine to 14 percent.

Len Hingley, soil and water technician with Alberta Agriculture, said water savings have been pegged at at nine to 26 percent.

In that province, a two-year project has just begun using Valley and Zimmatic systems on potato fields.

In Outlook, the trial is being conducted on canola.

The technology is not cheap, at about $1,500 per controlled zone, or $45,000 if all 30 are used.

And there are some quirks. A loss of the GPS signal, for example, results in the entire system turning on the water.

“This year we’re just using it to get our feet wet,” added Tomasiewicz.

Agronomists hope through the research to find out information such as how many times throughout the year a prescription should change and how different crops react.

You get what you pay for, bin maker says ‘Commercial grade’ standard | Prairie Steel admits its product costs more but says the payback is a longer lasting grain bin

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

The cone on Farm West bins is made of corrosion resistant steel, then coated with Galfan and a top coat of clear acrylic. The circular base skid has a larger footprint and lower pounds per square inch than other bins on the market, according to Harvey Kuhar.

BELOW LEFT: A double ring ensures stability of the hopper and forms a solid base for the bin’s walls.

BELOW RIGHT: Joist style frame work is used in the flat bottom bin floors. Trusses are four inches high in smaller bins and six inches high in the larger bins.

A lot is said in the marketing world about “commercial grade” pickups and more recently “commercial grade” grain bins. Is it real or just hype?

“I think for pick-up trucks, it’s really more of a marketing term aimed at business owners who want an industrial image,” said Harvey Kuhar, owner of Farm West Bins in Regina.

“When we use the term ‘commercial grade’ in our business, it’s our criteria that meets an engineering standard for strength and safety. It means a qualified engineer designed the bin and signed off on the plan.”

Kuhar said engineers have been pushing for legislation on minimum standards for bins since the 1970s, but provincial governments on the Prairies have ignored the issue.

“There is no actual regulation that stipulates a specific minimum safety or quality standard for bins,” he said.

“As bins get bigger, the risk of collapse increases exponentially.

That’s why we see more bin failures today. I think the insurance companies will catch on to the quality issue and the lack of standards. They’ll get tired of writing those big cheques for bin failures that could have been prevented. Then we’ll see some changes.”

Some bin failures can occur when producers fail to put down a good gravel base, he added, but that’s less of a problem today as farmers realize what’s needed to support the weight of a full bin.

Farm West uses the term commercial grade for good reason, said Kuhar. Prairie Steel, the manufacturer of Farm West bins, sets a grade standard which must be met by steel suppliers.

“Flawed or blemished steel is rejected. That steel can cause a fail-

ure or collapse,” he said.

“We use heavier structural steel in the walls and heavier hopper legs with the pads welded on.”

Kuhar said the optional Max Float circular skid has a larger footprint than competitors’ skids, along with the lowest pressure to the ground in the industry.

“We’re the only company with a circular skid,” he said.

“The big reason for this is we get uniform weight distribution over a much larger footprint. A bin on a circular skid is more stable than a bin on an octagon.”

Farm West hopper cones have double welded seams, with full length welds on the inside and outside of each seam.

“Most hoppers are typically welded on the inside only. Some companies cut corners even further. They do a stitch weld, which means there are gaps in the seam. It’s not a solid bead.

“The hopper cone carries the full weight of the product plus the bin itself. A hopper is like a chain. It’s only as strong as its weakest weld.”

The inside of the hoppers is coated with a hard surface poly urethane paint. The 22 inch slide gate has a remote crank.

“We extend a crank out to the exterior edge of the bin. There are two sprockets with a chain. You crank the

PRODUCTION wheel to open and close the slide gate,” he said.

“You’re always out on the perimeter of the bin and you’re standing, so you see exactly what’s going on. The mechanics of it make it very easy to regulate opening and closing of the gate.”

A double band holds the walls to the top of the cone. The inside band is similar to the band on any hopper bottom bin. It secures the walls to the cone. The outside band is much larger and is formed to snugly fit over the first band.

“The result is an extremely rigid fit,” he said. “With a conventional single band, a little bit of settling or ground movement can cause the cone to flex and loosen the band.

A flexing hopper or loose band potentially leads to hopper failure and the bin ripping apart. Double bands solve that.”

Flat bottom bins from Farm West have the Max Floor structural truss style floor system.

Instead of a single layer sheet of steel for the floor, it uses trusses that are similar to structural floor joists in a house.

“We start with the same basic design as our hopper bottom skid,” he said. “That fits inside the bottom. We put extra trusses or joists in through the middle to support the weight of the grain. Once all this is welded firmly in place, then we lay another sheet of steel over the joists and weld it. This is the floor the grain sits on.”

The depth of the crawl space is four inches on the smaller bins and six inches on larger bins.

“You won’t get any flex with this structure.”

He said the crawl space is too small for aeration, but an aeration system can be installed on the top of the Max Flow floor.

“I prefer a totally sealed eave (system) because it gives the farmer more control over the environment within the bin. It lets the farmer determine when and where the air moves. With open eaves, you don’t have that control.”

He said open eaves also let insects and birds into the grain. In extremely humid weather, all the moisture

Kuhar said all the additional engineering means his granaries cost more than those of many of his competitors.

“I sell what I believe is a higher

quality product, so there’s more cost involved,” he said.

“I think farmers are gradually starting to understand that the payback comes with a longer lasting bin.”

For more information, contact Harvey Kuhar at 306-789-0606 or visit www.farmwestbins.com.

Building a better grain bin means starting with better steel, such as the Galfan high tensile alloy employed in Farm West Bins.

“Galfan is a surface coating that’s superior to the old wartime galvanizing that dates back to the 1920s or ’30’s,” said Lyle Goebel of Prairie Steel, which does the steel work for Farm West. Goebel is also the engineer who designed the “best in class” bin.

Prairie Steel starts the building process with Grade 50 steel. It is a lowalloy, high-strength steel that’s stronger per unit of weight than the steel previously used in bins. Grade 50 is highly resistant to atmospheric corrosion, making it ideal for bins.

The Galfan coating is applied to the surface of the steel at the point of manufacture.

Once Galfan is applied, the mill then applies a clear acrylic coating that bonds to the Galfan.

The acrylic resists fingerprints and water staining and lets the steel form well in the rollers without an oil coating, which eliminates the residual oil that normally has to be washed off.

“With conventional galvanizing, we used to get water stains when the steel sat outside at the work site. With the acrylic, there’s no staining, ever,” Goebel said.

“The acrylic is a sacrificial material, so it’ll disappear in a few years. Then the Galfan itself is exposed.

“Nobody in Canada produces Galfan steel. I think somebody in the States has rights of production now, and they just started producing it. We

get ours from China and Taiwan. It’s a higher quality than we get from domestic mills.”

The cones are then painted inside and out before shipping. Goebel said how the cones are formed is a secret.

“What it really comes down to is we have machinery now that can form long strips of steel, which are shaped into the cone. The old method involved cutting a lot of smaller pieces and welding them together.

This is much more rigid.”

NEW TECHNOLOGY | OUTBACK MAX

Precision farming info links directly to variable rate terminal

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

The Outback Max system, which was introduced Aug. 28, gives producers the opportunity to place all their precision farming activities into one package.

The variable rate terminal is able to handle many types of data and layer them in ways that were previously done only at the farm office, said Darren Pritchard of Outback.

Pritchard said Max has four camera inputs, which can be displayed one at a time on the screen or all four at the same time. This allows producers to check on their air cart, sprayer nozzles, combine hopper and auger.

“We can push and pull maps. Yield maps, as-applied maps, variable rate maps or any kind of data like that,” said Pritchard.

“We can also layer three imagery maps at the same time. For instance, the terminal can show you a variable rate map, field imagery and asapplied at the same time. Running

The Outback Max features variable rate and four camera inputs and can show three layers simultaneously as well as access maps directly from remote servers without going through an extra box. | TOPCON PHOTO three layers on the same terminal at the same time is a big step.”

Pritchard said Max can move data

to and from the terminal into the wireless side, commonly known as the cloud or data storage.

“We can go from the cloud directly to the terminal,” he said.

“It’s direct. It doesn’t go into another box, so you have to go in and move it again. You shoot it and push it directly into this new Max terminal.”

Data that is kept on the cloud can be accessed by any authorized computer.

“A producer can instantly link his data to his agronomist, fertilizer dealer, aerial applicator or equipment dealer. They can all be tied together with this system,” he said.

“Where we’re going with this is a system letting you push soil test data, for instance, directly to your custom applicator. Or a field scout shoots information from the field directly to the cloud where it’s accessed by your agronomist and custom applicator.

“That’s all new for us. But I think the big thing is the user interface is now very simple and easy. It’s not a difficult system to operate.”

Pritchard said Max will tie into any auto steer system. It works with all existing Agco, CaseIH/New Holland,

Deere or other aftermarket systems, including systems from Europe.

“For example, you can tie into any John Deere autosteer system,” he said.

“If the customer doesn’t already have JD guidance, we can plug into plug-and-play in the hydraulic kit from Deere. That lets the customer run the Outback autosteer and terminal.”

The Max terminal is as sturdy as its name. It got an IP67 rating in the durability drop, dust and water tests.

It scored six out of six in protection from damage by solid objects and seven out of eight in penetration by liquids.

RTK is built in, but requires optional unlocking.

“If you want the Outback RTK, the base is $7,495 for a 900 megahertz unit, the rover on the tractor is $2,700 and it’s $3,000 to unlock the RTK.” For more information, contact Darren Pritchard at 866-888-4472 #1411 or visit www.outbackguidance.com.

FARM SAFETY | SAFERGATE

Crash test cow takes beating for safety Australian invention | Scientists use cow dummy to test a new livestock gate invented by an Australian cattle producer

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

The crash test cow slams into the gate with all its pendulum-induced 60 kilogram weight.

The gate buckles and swings outward, leaving the “rancher” mannequin behind it unscathed.

Robo-Cow rides again, with its actions recorded on video by Australia’s Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO).

The crash test cow has proven instrumental in testing Edward Evans’ invention — a gate that protects people while livestock are being handled in corrals, auction markets and feedlots.

Evans, who lives in the northern part of Australia’s New South Wales, devised his invention out of painful personal experience.

“I was giving a cow some needles and let the cow out, and as I was letting it through the gate and was shutting the gate behind it, the cow turned around and hit the gate and knocked me on the ground and gored my leg,” Evans said. “ W h i l e I w a s re c u p e rat i n g , I thought, ‘there has to be a better way.’

So that’s how I came to think up the idea.”

He devised the SaferGate, which has a pivot mechanism that splits the gate in two pieces. When struck, part of the gate folds back on itself and away from the person standing behind it.

The invention won him a New Inventors award entitling him to $10,000 worth of testing by the CSIRO. The organization added a few options and then built Robo-Cow to test it.

Peter Townsend, research project leader for CSIRO, said the crash test cow is “much prettier” than a prototype developed by Evans for use in demonstrations at farm shows.

It consists of a light truck tire and rim bolted to a 44-gallon drum. Real horns and cowhide were added “just for show.”

The contraption is on a pendulum system that can be pulled back and released for impact into a gate.

“I think the gate now is a better and safer gate than what it was initially,” Townsend said.

“It’s really all in the line of simplicity. You have to say it’s a simple invention, and they’re always the best.”

Though most cattle weigh more than 60 kg, Townsend said researchers found the gate performed the same regardless of weight behind the impact.

The need for safer cattle handling equipment seems evident, said SaferGate genera l ma nager Mi k e Agnew.

He said agriculture is one of the

three most dangerous industries in Australia. About 30 percent of agricultural injuries come from livestock and of those, 60 percent are injuries from blunt force trauma induced by gates.

“There’s some recent statistics from … Queensland that have shown that time to recover to return to work from people injured in the cattle industry is double any other industry in Australia,” said Agnew, because of the severity of the injuries.

Agriculture is also one of the more dangerous occupations in Canada, and livestock are the cause of numerous injuries and deaths.

There were 104 animal-related deaths in Canada between 1999 and 2005, more than half of them from bulls and cows, according to Canadian Agriculture Safety Association statistics.

Glen Blahey, agricultural safety specialist with CASA, said those aren’t necessarily related to corrals or gates because specific causes aren’t noted in reports.

However, statistics do indicate 39 fatalities occurred in corrals during the 1999-2005 period.

Blahey reviewed video of the SaferGate and liked what he saw.

“It certainly appears to be a good, well thought out safety feature, but the critical aspect will be to make sure that whoever is utilizing that

EDWARD EVANS INVENTOR

equipment uses it correctly,” said Blahey.

“It ties into what we’ve been promoting for the last couple years at CASA, is the development of standard operating procedures and ensuring that anyone who is involved in any kind of agricultural work … that everyone be very clear on what kind of work performance is expected as far as health and safety is concerned.”

Townsend said the aging farm population is also a factor in safety and in the use of the gate.

“Farmers are becoming older and less agile, and we carr y mobile phones with us now and we’ve got more things to distract us while we’re doing our work,” he said.

Evans said most gates and corrals used to be made of wood, which appeared to be more of a barrier to cattle.

Modern gates are made of pipe and cattle see them as penetrable.

“That sounds like a reasonable assumption,” added Blahey.

Evans built the SaferGate with one relatively open side and one more solid side, behind which the producer stands. The gate buckles and folds away from the producer when cattle attempt escape through the side that appears more open.

Agnew and Evans said they plan to have the gate reviewed by livestock handling expert Temple Grandin, a n d t hat G ra n d i n ha s a l re a d y expressed interest in the new design.

Evans and Agnew plan to find a

manufacturer and start producing the gates once CSIRO has filed its report and developed blueprints.

They will market them in Australia and throughout North America.

“Our plan is to go to North America, but initially into the States,” Agnew said.

“Our plan over the next (several) months is to go to all major cattle producing areas, and Canada is one of those.”

RESEARCH | REPRODUCTION

RAINY DAY CHORES

Semen protein found to prompt ovulation

BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

New findings from the University of Saskatchewan about mammal fertility are expected to draw interest from researchers in a variety of disciplines.

However, the researcher who led the project says he has cattle producers in mind.

A team headed by Gregg Adams of the Western College of Veterinary Medicine studying seminal fluid has identified a protein in semen that prompts ovulation, triggering hormones that signal release of an egg.

The project could lead to therapeutic products for sub-fertile livestock, but Adams said the findings may also pique the interest of researchers studying human nervous systems.

“My bent has always been towards large animals, and cattle is the primary focus of my research,” said Adams, who began his career as a large animal practitioner.

“So, yeah, this has led me in other directions, but fundamentally I have an interest in seeing how our research results can influence production animals.”

While profiling this protein, Adams said the group learned that its discovery — dubbed ovulation-inducing factor — is the same molecule that regulates nerve growth, something already probed by neuroscientists.

However, the connection between a protein in the nervous system associated with neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and one in semen had never been made.

“Nerve growth factor is something that’s produced locally by nerves, and all the literature would suggest it has a very local effect. One nerve produces it. It has an effect on that nerve and some neighbouring nerves throughout the body, but this is actually in the seminal fluid,” said Adams.

“It gets absorbed by the vagina and the uterus of the female, goes into circulation and affects the brain of the female and that’s a totally new mechanism that we never knew of before.”

The effects of ovulation-inducing factor may differ among species. An international team of researchers has identified it in all 10 mammal species it has tested, including llamas, cattle, humans and koalas.

In cattle, Adams said researchers have learned that ovulation-inducing factor has a different influence than it does in induced ovulates such as llamas. While it doesn’t force ovulation, it does assist in the development of the gland that produces progesterone, which is required for the maintenance of pregnancy.

He said further research could result in products to improve fertility.

“It may come to initiate a change in the industry, where they pay more attention to the seminal plasma as an important component of the semen dose. The other thing would be actually the development of some pharmaceuticals,” said Adams. “That’s not in the works right now, but maybe if I have some interested and wealthy investor, we’ll get going on that right away.”

PORK | PRODUCTION COSTS

Feed supply, prices worry hog sector Feed available after harvest | Demand from south of the border may drive feed exports

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

A task force of hog producers and federal government officials is being formed to address concerns over unaffordable feed that could drive some producers out of the business.

Livestock feed prices have spiked because of recent drought-induced American reductions in corn crop estimates.

The new forecast of 650 million bushels in ending stocks for 2012-13 is the lowest since 1995-96, causing concern about feed availability and raising prices for corn, barley and feed wheat.

“Canadian pork producers are worried that ethanol policies and low crop yields in the United States due to drought conditions are causing grain prices to soar to a point where it is not economical to raise pigs in Canada,” said an Aug. 17 news release from the Canadian Pork Council.

It encouraged review of biofuel policies that subsidize ethanol production from corn.

But Chris Panter, Alberta’s provincial livestock market analyst, said drought is a much bigger factor than ethanol production when it comes to recent feed cost increases.

A good harvest in Western Canada could alleviate some of the anxiety, provided livestock producers can get their hands on it at a reasonable price.

Grain prices typically drop after harvest when feed appears more abundant.

“Because we have an integrated North American feed grain market now, this may not happen because what you see is that feed barley and wheat prices are connected to the corn price in the States, so if the

High feed prices may force producers to borrow more or throw in the towel, says the pork council president. | FILE PHOTO

corn prices stay high, barley prices are also likely to stay high just because there is that opportunity to arbitrage across the two markets,” Panter said.

He said ethanol production has been around for several years and that demand is already built into feed prices. Based on what he’s read in the trade, Panter said changes to ethanol production wouldn’t have much impact on grain prices, at least in the short term.

Gary Stordy, public relations manager for the pork council, said a good Canadian harvest would improve feed availability, but cost is another question.

“Here in Canada, certainly, we have areas that have feed available and now unfortunately it’s a bit of a competition how it’s going to be used. Is it going to stay here? Is it going down to the States? That’s yet to be seen.”

Stordy said the sudden upward swing in feed prices has wreaked havoc in the Canadian pork industry, with producers burning through

their lines of credit faster than expected.

It’s particularly galling because pork prices were up earlier this year and producers were anticipating a good year after a string of bad ones that saw many people leave the industry.

“Over the past at least five years, our industry has cut more than half the number of producers,” he said.

E x p o r t s o f l i v e a n i ma l s hav e dropped, though domestic slaughter numbers were relatively stable.

Stordy said many hog producers are getting close to money-losing positions on hogs.

“Each individual producer hope-

fully and ideally has taken precautions over the past couple months and years to adjust to these types of signals, but it can only go on for so long,” he said.

Survival will depend on farmers’ abilities to access credit, hedge feed prices and find affordable feed from their own farm production or nearby sources.

In the meantime, Stordy said the pork council is gathering data from across the country for use by the task force when it meets to discuss solutions.

In the Aug. 17 CPC news release, president Jean Guy Vincent emphasized the depth of worry.

“The recent market conditions and feed prices were unimaginable two months ago and producers should not have to decide between losing their farm or increasing their debt to pay for unsustainable feed costs,” said Vincent.

“We need the market to pay for the cost of providing consumers a healthy and safe food supply.”

ANIMAL WELFARE | SOCIAL MEDIA

Video sites do poor job depicting farm work

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Thousands of viewers are captivated by cute kitten videos on YouTube, but few seem interested in watching how producers properly care for their livestock.

Social media have given critics of animal agriculture a venue to spread their agenda, while the livestock industry has lagged, said Mike Siemens of Cargill Meats.

Videos exposing abuse receive wide coverage while those showing how most people raise their animals are ignored, he said at the International Livestock Congress held in Calgary Aug. 15.

“We do a terrible job of framing issues,” he said.

An example is the undercover video taken at the Hallmark/Westland plant in California, where dairy cows were treated badly. The video forced a 143 million pound beef recall, and the company went out of business. It also resulted in regulatory changes in the treatment of downer cattle in the United States.

These exposés have pressured more food corporations to guarantee they buy only from suppliers that meet certain animal care guidelines.

To show its meat customers that it is treating animals humanely, Cargill installed remote video auditing to provide reassurance on animal welfare at all 10 beef plants, including the facility in High River, Alta.

The cameras capture work from the time the cattle enter the plant property until they go into the knock box for stunning. All the work is watched, and corrections are made if animals are mistreated, he said.

Government and retailers want easy answers when pressured by well funded animal welfare and rights organizations.

More activism can be expected from these organizations, he said.

“They will keep poking their fingers in our eyes until we do something to make them stop it,” Siemens said.

The Humane Society of the United States has $100 million in annual expenditures. It is leading the effort to ban battery cages for laying hens and is working on a deal in which egg producers have agreed to accept national legislation on standards.

Rumen acidosis can occur if cattle are switched to high grain diets too rapidly. |

CATTLE | UNUSUAL CAUSE

Digestive upset can cause respiratory disease ANIMAL HEALTH

JOHN CAMPBELL, DVM, DVSC

Introducing higher grain levels slowly in diets can help prevent illness

P

neumonia is a common ailment of young calves and newly arrived feedlot cattle, but it is a less common diagnosis in older animals.

As cattle mature, they tend to develop more immunity to many of the bacteria and viruses that cause pneumonia in younger animals.

However, one type of pneumonia has a rather unusual origin and can still be a cause of illness and death in yearling feedlot cattle and mature cows.

In this case, the lung infection is a direct result of a digestive upset.

Feedlot cattle and dairy cows are often fed high grain diets that are rapidly fermentable and can cause problems in the rumen if the cattle are not given adequate time to adapt to this high carbohydrate diet.

Microbes in the rumen change

gradually when cattle are slowly introduced to higher grain levels in the diet. As a result, cattle can easily adapt.

However, grain overload or rumen acidosis can occur if this change in diet occurs rapidly before the rumen bacteria have had a chance to adapt.

The pH of the rumen fluid drops to acidic levels that can damage the wall of the rumen.

If the pH drop is severe, the animal might go off feed and become obviously sick with the signs of clinical grain overload.

However, in many cases, the damage can be more subtle and although the rumen wall can be affected, the animal may not show obvious signs of grain overload.

The damage to the rumen wall can result in bacteria passing from the rumen across the wall and into the animal’s blood stream.

The blood stream carries these bacteria to the liver, resulting in liver abscesses.

Liver abscesses rarely cause clinical disease but are an important issue because they can result in liver condemnations in the packing plant.

However, the bacterial infection can be transported to the lungs if the abscesses in the liver protrude into the vena cava, a major vein running through the liver that returns blood

to the heart and lungs.

The lung is deluged with these bacteria via the blood stream once the abscess forms in this large vein in the liver.

This pneumonia is unique in that it is a blood-borne infection rather than an airborne one, which is the most common pathway for other pneumonias.

Called post vena caval thrombosis syndrome (PVCT), this type of pneumonia is seen predominantly in yearling feedlot cattle and adult dairy cattle fed high grain rations.

The affected animal will often have a cough and a persistent fever and may have rapid respirations that appear painful.

In some cases, these abscesses in the lungs may damage neighbouring blood vessels, resulting in the animal coughing up blood or appearing to have a nosebleed.

Some of these animals will die suddenly because an abscess damages a major blood vessel in the lung and causes the animal to bleed out.

In these cases, the animal is found dead with a large amount of blood coming from the nose and mouth.

Once you understand the origins of this disease, you can understand the difficulty in treating these cases.

We often use antibiotics to treat bacterial lung infections, but in this

situation the lung is being continually bombarded by bacteria through the blood stream.

The antibiotics may provide a short-term improvement, but eventually this disease will kill the animal.

The fatality rate is virtually 100 percent, and euthanasia should be considered in animals diagnosed with the disease.

Cases of PVCT are actually an indicator of a problem in the feeding program.

These cattle and probably others in the group have suffered from rumen acidosis or grain overload, and steps should be taken to prevent the original causes of the rumen upset.

Prevention of rumen acidosis is achieved by slowly adapting cattle to high carbohydrate rations in the feedlot or post-calving in dairy cattle.

In feedlot cattle, ionophores in the ration are used to modulate feed intake and control acidosis.

Antibiotics in the ration can be used under the prescription of a veterinarian to control liver abscesses in feedlot cattle. A vaccine is also available that can lower the incidence of liver abscesses.

TECHNOLOGY | RAISED METHOD

Uplifting idea takes backache out of berry growing Raised trays ease labour and reduce losses from rotten fruit

BY SHIRLEY BYERS FREELANCE WRITER

Murray Gray imported equipment from Haygrove, a company in the United Kingdom that uses a raised gutter system to grow a variety of produce, including strawberries. | FILE PHOTO

AYLSHAM, Sask. — For the past six years Murray Gray has been kneeling on his knees to tend and pick strawberries. He’s had enough.

Gray has been growing strawberries in high tunnels this summer, following Haygrove Growth Technology developed in England.

The plants grow in trays about a metre off the ground, which is a good place to be this year in soggy northeastern Saskatchewan.

You don’t get normal rains of a half inch anymore, he told a recent tour of his fruit and vegetable operation near Aylsham.

“For some reason you get five inches. That means the strawberries (on the ground) are flooded.”

The strawberries are thriving, planted one foot apart in 25-year-old well-composted manure.

“They grow phenomenally in here.”

Gray added flax shives to the soil in one of the trays, but doesn’t think it’s made any difference to the tilth of the soil or the quality of the plants.

He installed a high flow drip tape for irrigation, but said it might have been putting out too much water at one time, and he would now probably recommend a low flow drip tape, with slits, rather than nipples, eight inches apart. The slits are less likely to become clogged, he added.

He also doesn’t recommend reusing drip tape because it’s not worth the small savings.

The 1.5 inch pipe for the frames came from England in 12 foot sections out of decommissioned greenhouses in Holland.

“They can ship pipe here for the same cost as we can buy it in Alberta,” Gray said.

Brackets that can be used to tie strings to support the vining plants are included in the price of the grow trays. Trays for 10, 200 foot rows cost $5,300. The pipe was $1 per foot. The total cost, not counting the grow tunnel, was $9,500.

A black plastic mulch keeps moisture in and suppresses weeds. He also thinks it probably kept the roots too warm and next year will replace the black plastic with white.

Another challenge was that the drainage holes on the bottom of the trays caused the water to flush through too quickly, losing nutrients.

He also applied dissolved fertilizer through the drip tape.

As well, he’s thinking of taking advantage of the space under the trays to grow another crop, possibly lettuce, which doesn’t require direct sunlight. He anticipates picking strawberries into October, but he won’t try to winter the plants.

“I keep telling everybody, tear that three-year-old patch up, tear that four-year-old patch up and get rid of them because there is a new strawberry in town. It’s called the day neutral and they will produce all the time, starting about a month after you plant them and until the end of October.”

Day neutral strawberries have the capacity to flower and fruit continuously, which is attributed to their insensitivity to day length that normally controls flower initiation.

They form flower buds under any day length and continue to grow as long as temperatures are suitable.

Gray grew Albion and Seascape varieties this year and plans to plant half of each variety next year.

While the control group, planted outside in trays, has done better this summer, he believes modifications such as a more consistent watering system and replacing the black mulch with white will result in the berries in the tunnels outperforming those outside. The ability to control the heat by adjusting the plastic walls of the tunnel makes a big difference, he added.

LABOUR | OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY

Labour law inclusion demanded for Alta. farms Farm workers exempt from regulations | NDP, labour federation says government must take steps to protect workers

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Lack of protection for Alberta farm workers was highlighted Aug. 20 by Alberta’s New Democrats and the Alberta Federation of Labour.

The two groups used the occasion of the AFL-designated Alberta farm workers day to urge the provincial government to extend occupational health and safety laws and workers compensation benefits to farm employees.

NDP agriculture critic David Eggen said his party issues the call every year to increase standards under which farm workers can be protected.

“It’s very dangerous work and farm workers are not being protected with the basic rights that other workers have here in the province of Alberta,” Eggen said at a Lethbridge news conference.

“They’re far behind the rest of Canadian farm workers. It shows callous disregard to an important sector of our population.”

Shannon Phillips, AFL director of policy analysis, said previous Progressive Conservative governments have explained lack of farm worker protections as a way to avoid intrusion on family farm operations.

“We find that excuse to be just that,”

SHANNON PHILLIPS DAVID EGGEN ALBERTA NDP

said Phillips, adding the explanation is a red herring for government failure to provide adequate worker protection.

“There is no excuse any more. And we also have a premier on the record saying that she is going to do this.”

In her leadership campaign, Alberta premier Alison Redford said farm laborers should have protection.

However, no changes have been made to legislation since Redford’s election earlier this year that would affect farm worker status.

Phillips said many farms are large commercial operations with workplaces like any other, so workers deserve the same protections offered in other sectors.

In a later interview, Eggen echoed those opinions.

“The large farms that have been amalgamated into companies and corporations now need to be the very first up to give full rights to their work-

ALBERTA FEDERATION OF LABOUR

ers,” he said. “In regards to smaller operations, we can have a differentiated approach, with the provincial government providing some of those premiums to the smaller operators.

Large corporate farms need to pay full freight on their workers’ rights and compensation immediately.”

Eggen and Phillips noted recent evidence that the province no longer tracks and reports farm worker fatalities. Queries were instead directed to dated data on the Canadian Farm Injury Reporting website.

However, agriculture ministry spokesperson Stuart Elson said Aug. 23 that 2011 farm injury and fatality statistics would be posted within a few days.

“We just want to make sure we are respecting the privacy of the families, but we’re actually going to be putting up some updated stats.”

He said concerns were raised about the level of detail in Alberta farm

“We will be posting it pretty quickly.

At the news conference earlier in the week, Eggen expressed concern about lack of available 2011 data.

“I think the statistics have been embarrassing, quite frankly. We have seen historically 160 deaths here in the province of Alberta around farm workers since Alberta started to keep the statistics.”

Alberta is the only province that

excludes farm workers from occupational health and safety laws and from regulations governing hours of work, overtime and vacation pay.

Phillips said the matter has been studied for years by successive PC governments but with no action taken.

“This thing has been studied and studied and studied to death. Over the nine years that the provincial government said they were consulting on this topic, 160 people died.”

POLITICS | FOOD SAFETY

Food safety legislation won’t see instant results

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

A key piece of unfinished business when Parliament returns in September will be Senate debate on wide-ranging food safety legislation introduced in June before the summer break.

The Safe Food for Canadians Act, consolidating four existing food inspection laws, likely won’t clear the Conservative-controlled Senate until late this year. It then will face more contentious debate and public hearings in the House of Commons.

The legislative process will likely extend well into the new year.

And despite government promises that this ushers in a new era of food safety rules, an Ottawa-based food safety lawyer said actual implementation of the new rules is years away.

Adrienne Blanchard, vice-chair of regulatory affairs for the life sciences industry group of the Gowling Lafleur Henderson law firm, said the new legislation aims to strengthen food safety rules while meeting Canada’s international trade obligations.

However, it will be a long process because most of the new rules will be embedded in regulations to be written after the bill become law.

“There will be regulations, then consultations, then a second version under the Canada Gazette process,” said Blanchard. “I think we really are looking at a two to three year process.”

When he unveiled the legislation at a

June news conference, agriculture minister Gerry Ritz said it fulfils Conservative promises to improve the food inspection system in the aftermath of the 2008 deadly listeria outbreak.

“Clear consistent rules for our inspectors and industry overall will ultimately make food safer for all Canadians,” Ritz said at the time.

“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.”

The bill will increase maximum fines to $5 million for violating food safety rules, give the government the power to require national traceability standards and increase government powers to license food importers and regulate food imports.

Blanchard said it has the potential, once implemented, to standardize food inspection and safety rules across the country and across food products.

“Too often we have seen differences in enforcement and application of rules,” she wrote in a food law column published by Gowlings.

Different enforcement standards exist in different sectors and different regions because there have been four different food inspection and labeling standards acts with guidelines rather than strict rules, she added.

Blanchard also said it will be a delicate balance because the new legislation is an attempt to mesh food safety rules in Canada with obligations to guarantee export food safety under trade agreements.

NAME A major player in the seed business has enhanced its wheat breeding efforts in Canada.

Dow AgroSciences Canada Inc. recently opened a 10,000 sq. foot cereal research and breeding facility in Nairn, Ont. It replaces an older facility the company acquired when it bought the assets of Hyland Seeds in 2010.

Dow decided to stay in Nairn so it could keep the research expertise it had accumulated there.

Researchers should be able to produce varieties faster at the new facility, which will make use of technologies such as di-haploids, disease nurseries and shuttling germplasm between a winter nursery in Chile, Nairn and two other Dow facilities in Washington state and Australia.

“We’re thrilled with the investment,” said Dow AgroSciences Canada president Jim Wispinski.

“Anytime we can increase our investment and update our facilities in Canada makes me very excited because that has lots of benefits long-term.”

The Nairn facility is the company’s only Canadian wheat breeding research centre. Dow recently acquired another one in Pullman, Wash., with the 2011 purchase of the Northwest Plant Breeding Co. Wispinski said the company sees significant opportunity for wheat to feed a rapidly growing world population.

“There needs to be very significant investment to make sure that wheat remains competitive,” he said.

The Nairn facility will focus on creating varieties with superior yield, standability and natural genetic tolerance to disease, specifically fusarium head blight.

However, Dow will continue field testing promising varieties in the United States and Western Canada to see if there is a fit in those markets.

“How we go to market in new geographies that Hyland doesn’t operate in will be determined,” said Wispinski.

Gerrid Gust, chair of the Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association, is pleased to see Dow increase its investment in wheat.

“The more money we can bring to the table and the more minds, it has to be a good thing.”

Gust said Australia is spending $80 million a year on wheat varietal research, which is more than triple what’s being spent in Canada.

“They’re going to catch up and surpass us eventually. It’s probably going to be sooner rather than later,” he said.

Gust isn’t bothered that Dow’s initial investment is in Eastern Canada rather than Western Canada.

“There’s a lot of western varieties grown in the east, so I’m sure if our variety registration system can get its act together, we should be able to grow their eastern varieties,” he said.

Gust said the variety registration system is cumbersome and unpredictable and needs to be fixed to garner increased investment in wheat in Western Canada.

Wispinski said Dow will continue to look around the world and within Canada for additional research investment opportunities.

Deal struck to sell straw-based paper Staples agreement deemed significant | Company would like to build a plant in Western Canada

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

A deal to supply paper to Staples Canada means a Winnipeg company’s plan to build a straw-based paper plant in Western Canada is one step closer to reality.

In mid-August, Prairie Pulp & Paper announced that its paper, which is made from wheat straw, is now available at Staples stores in Canada.

Sold under the Step Forward Paper brand, the product is made from 80 percent wheat straw and 20 percent tree fibre certified by the Forest Stewardship Council.

“Paper made from leftover straw produces high quality and performance that compares with other copy and printer papers,” Pete Gibe, vice-president of merchandising at Staples Canada, said in a statement.

Prairie Pulp & Paper manufactures its office paper at a plant in India, but it still plans to build North America’s first commercial-scale straw paper plant, at an estimated cost of $500 million to $1 billion.

GMO | CROPS

Oregon seed, farm groups sue (Reuters) — A U.S. farm group, seed producers and biotech critics filed suit this month against Oregon officials to curtail planting of genetically modified canola, warning of a potential disaster for the state’s seed and organic industries.

The litigation joins a list of efforts to limit the footprint of many genetically altered crops, which opponents fear threaten conventional and organic farm production as well as increasing weed and pest resistance.

The plaintiffs want the court to put on hold Oregon Department of Agriculture’s temporary rule opening previously protected zones for canola planting.

The state does not distinguish between biotech or conventional canola in its rule. Officials had banned the planting of canola on more than three million acres in Oregon’s Wil l a m et t e Va l l e y, a diverse region producing more than 170 types of crops, to protect specialty vegetable seed producers who feared contamination by the plant, which cross-pollinates easily.

In opening 1.7 million acres in the restricted zone for canola planting, the state said it would require canola and specialty seed producers to report where and what they intend to grow.

But thousands of people have signed a petition against the move, and critics say they fear contamination of specialty crops with biotech canola genetically altered to withstand Roundup herbicide. They worry about the creation of resistant weed species and the proliferation of disease and pests.

Backers of genetically modified crops say biotechnology makes farming more efficient and sustainable, and it increases production.

“Our goal is to establish a market that will support our plans to build a new state-of-the-art facility in the Canadian Prairies in Manitoba,” said Jeff Golfman, Prairie Pulp & Paper Inc. president.

Golfman, along with company chair Clayton Manness, a Manitoba cabinet minister in the 1990s, have been developing plans and recruiting investors for a straw-based paper plant for more than a decade.

Woody Harrelson, a Hollywood actor best known for his role on Cheers, is the most famous investor in

Prairie Pulp & Paper.

“As for the viability of paper made from straw, we have proven its abilities to work in almost any context,” Harrelson told The Western Producer in 2010.

“It’s only a matter of time before some clever investor steps up and sees the massive market potential.”

One of the partners in Step Forward Paper is Canopy, a Toronto nonprofit organization that is trying to protect the world’s forests by collaborating with businesses to develop sustainable supply chains, such as

paper made from crop straw.

“Our market survey continues to quantify a clear and growing demand from large paper customers for paper made from leftover straw,” said Canopy campaign director Amanda Carr.

Manness told the Winnipeg Free Press that sales of Step Forward Paper should demonstrate if there is a substantial consumer demand for strawbased paper.

If demand is high, it will help Prairie Pulp & Paper raise the necessary investment capital to construct a paper plant in Manitoba.

Step Forward Paper, made primarily from wheat straw, is available at Staples in Canada.

Prairie Pulp & Paper makes the paper in India, but wants to build a plant in Manitoba. | PRAIRIE PULP & PAPER PHOTO
