Mega-farms cause unease

Grain farmers feel hog barn strife

This is the second in a series of stories exploring the trend toward megafarms and what it means to agriculture | By Karen Briere, Regina bureau

Hog company problems | Farmers face losses for unpaid feed deliveries

The transition of land ownership underway on the Prairies is unsettling to some. Investor-owned tracts and family operations as big as 45,000 acres are not what people are used to calling farms. But the new agricultural model is undeniably gaining ground, and there are still more questions than answers about how the mega-farm will change food production and rural life. Roger Epp, political science professor at the University of Alberta, said the notion that farms since the homestead era were small, and should be, is wrong. Large ranches were widely accepted in the early days of agriculture, and in the early 20th century there were huge grain farms in both the Canadian and American west, including at least one in Montana that in 1910 comprised one million acres.

Puratone stumbled into bankruptcy protection, owing Kyle Foster $33,000 to $35,000 for high-value feed wheat he had recently delivered. He’s not alone. Other farmers near Arborg, Man., are in a similar situation, as probably are those who farm near other Puratone, Big Sky and independent hog barns across the Prairies as the industry grapples with the crippling impact of massive losses. “Some guys are really upset,” said Foster. “Some are understanding, but still want their money.” Foster is one of the understanding farmers, and there is little anger when he talks about Puratone, which is still operating and paying cash for grain deliveries. “Puratone’s a big part of the agriculture industry up here and it’s not good for anyone to see them go down,” he said. “It’s unfortunate right across the board, whether you’re a grain producer or you work at the (Puratone) feed mill or you run a business in town. There are a lot of jobs involved here.” While the losses hitting the hog industry most directly affect hog farmers, they also affect farmers who grow grain and sell it to feed barns, or to grain companies that supply hog barns. Foster said a number of grain farmers in his area are owed money by Puratone. SEE GRAIN FARMERS OWED, PAGE 2

Grain farmers owed “We’re an hour-and-a-half from rail, so it’s a big deal if you have winter wheat or some low protein wheat,” said Foster. “It’s a good avenue to get rid of feedgrains.” The hog industry’s problems come from the escalating price of feedgrains, which was caused by the severe drought in the U.S. Midwest. That has caused many American farmers to ship hogs early so that they don’t have to buy $7 or $8 corn, and to ship their sows and gilts to slaughter plants rather than keeping them back for breeding. That has caused hog prices to fall. The squeeze between rising feedgrain and falling hog prices has caused farmers to often lose $50 per slaughter hog. Weanling producers are often finding no one to buy their piglets. The glut of hogs heading to market has also occurred at the typically weakest time of the year for the hog market, exacerbating the situation. Fortunately for producers, there are early signs that the highs of

feedgrain prices might have passed and the lowest of hog prices might be over. “It feels like we’re trying to bottom out or stabilize and maybe build a little bit higher prices as we go into October, November, December,” said renowned hog industry economist Chris Hurt. “That recovery at some point in the future will be stronger than if we had not gone through what you could call a panic in August and September.” Hurt expects break-even prices to reappear in April and profitable prices in the summer. Foster said he’s hopeful Puratone will sort out its problems while in bankruptcy protection and will be able to pay farmers the money it owes them. Foster thinks feed mills and small manufacturers such as Puratone should be bonded the way grain companies are. “Why are they still not bonded?” he said. “That’s something a lot of farmers like me weren’t aware of.”

Ground beef recall expands BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

A ground beef recall has expanded across Canada and into the United States. More than 210 products from an XL Foods facility in Edmonton are included in the voluntary recall. It covers products processed from Sept. 16-22. The first recall involved beef products going back to Aug. 16 when tests detected E. coli O157:H7. The recall covers all of Canada, as well as California, Michigan, Nebraska, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Washington and Wisconsin for a variety of beef products including beef patties, meat loaf and ground beef. “We don’t know the total volume, just that there is a lot of product in a lot of places,” said Reynold Bergen of the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is investigating the facility’s preventive control measures, food safety procedures, laboratory methodology and equipment and quality systems. No confirmed illnesses have been linked to this recall, but the CFIA is collaborating with provincial and federal public health officials. A Calgary child has been hospitalized after eating a beef burger during the Labour Day weekend, but so far it has not been linked to the recall. The recall does not mean every shipment was contaminated, said Rob McNabb of the CCA. Recalls of this type take into account time leading up to when the contamination was detected and after the product was taken out of production.

WANT ME TO DRAW YOU A PICTURE?

Mega-farms cause unease “From my reading, they didn’t produce more,” Epp said of those large entities. “What they did was have better access to the banks and better access to the politicians, so they had a favourable financial and regulatory environment to work in. But it didn’t save them when grain prices crashed after World War One.” He said the Soviets were most interested in the industrial farming model, and p rairie people often took pride in owning their land and believed they cared for it better than the workers at inefficient collective farms. “Some version of that critique is, I think, what hangs around in the critique of large corporate farming enterprises,” he said. Large grain farms are attractive f ro m a f a r m e r ’s p o i n t o f v i e w because they can produce more bushels at lower costs and earn higher profits, said Rose Olfert, professor at the University of Saskatchewan’s Johnson-Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy and agricultural economics. “It’s not a conspiracy. It’s not a strategy,” she said. “That just seems to be the nature of the business.” And farming is seen increasingly as a business as opposed to the way of life it once was. Epp points to the 1969 federal task force that suggested there were too many farmers and two-thirds of them should go. High grain prices during the 1970s nixed that, and another generation entered the business. Times are good now, too, but with fewer people on farms, the next generation is, by default, smaller. Cam Harder, professor of systematic theology at the Lutheran Theological Seminary in Saskatoon, has done significant academic work on rural issues. He said people don’t necessarily have to fear larger farms, but how they operate can affect communities. The management or owners of a mega-farm can choose to support local business or bypass it. They can get involved in community activities, thereby ensuring that a school and a rink survive, or not. Harder said rural population became the minority in Manitoba in 1971, followed by Alberta in 1976 and Saskatchewan in 1981. He said it’s also incumbent on communities to look at the trend and decide what economic activity other than farming can help them survive. “We’ve been a little quick to get rid of people,” he said. “I think we should strongly support economic activities that are community sensitive and community integrated.” Epp said more traditional communities are vulnerable within a changing economic climate. Overall, serious questions have to be asked as the agricultural model changes to one that resembles a resource plantation focused on wealth extraction. “What kind of countryside are we going to have?” he said. “Who’s going to produce food under what conditions, and who’s going to care for the place?”

FARM POLICY | REACTION

CFA not impressed with farm plan Growing forward 2 ‘frustrating’ | Deal pays little attention to innovation, says CFA president BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

The Canadian Federation of Agriculture has issued the strongest farmer criticism yet of the new Growing Forward 2 five-year policy framework that will sharply cut farm support funding levels while promoting innovation. CFA president Ron Bonnett said the Sept. 14 Whitehorse deal to be implemented April 1 is frustrating for farmers. Government projections estimate federal-provincial business risk management spending could decline by more than $440 million annually over the five years with less than half of the savings reinvested in innovation, competitiveness and research programs. “I think the biggest thing for farmers is frustration,” Bonnett said last week. “Taking so much out of

RON BONNETT CFA PRESIDENT

AgriStability and AgriInvest and investing so little of that back into innovation does not send a strong signal that governments are serious about innovation.” Bonnett said that by reducing the AgriStability payment trigger to a 30 percent margin decline from the current 15 percent “they are making it essentially a disaster program and that erodes both farmer and lender confidence in the stability of investing in the industry.”

Bonnett predicted governments will be under more farmer pressure for ad hoc payments when income disasters strike in the future. “That really is a heads-up for government.” He also complained about the decision to reduce government contributions to AgriInvest by onethird. “This is a popular and effective program for farmers and CFA has suggested ways they could have made AgriInvest a more effective program rather than weakening it.” Th e CFA president sa id th e Whitehorse agreement was clear evidence that governments should have conducted more meaningful consultations with farmers before the deal was struck. Instead, farmers were asked about general principles but never given details of proposed cuts and a shift from BRM to innovation programs. “Farmers and programming have been shifting to more emphasis on

innovation and competitiveness over the last years but this is more dramatic than we could have expected,” said Bonnett. “They say the shift is needed because program payments have been masking market signals but we have asked for evidence of that and have seen none.” With Growing Forward 2 a done deal, he said farm groups are willing to work with governments to design the best programs possible within the current framework principles. “But really, consultations on Growing Forward 3 should begin tomorrow and farmers should be included this time and not left in the dark about the details,” he said. “We have to get back to the partnership model.” FOR MORE ON GROWING FORWARD 2, SEE PAGE 15.

WBBI ALTERNATIVES IN RURAL SASKATCHEWAN

I’m tired of being shafted by SaskTel. I’m just so disgusted by those guys, I don’t know what to say. DOUG EIDEM STEWART VALLEY, SASK., FARMER

The (WBBI) technology is outdated and needs to be upgraded. We have a number of good options and we’re … trying to put (customers) on the best service based on their usage.

This is not intended as a comprehensive list of rural internet providers in Saskatchewan. Other providers may offer service in certain areas. Rural internet users are encouraged to inquire about alternatives that may be offered in their area.

Rural Saskatchewan unplugged SaskTel discontinues rural wireless internet | Customers say price goes up, service goes down BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Thousands of internet users in rural Saskatchewan will be forced to look for new service this year, and some of them aren’t impressed with the alternatives. SaskTel, Saskatchewan’s provincially owned telephone and telecommunications company, has been informing rural internet subscribers for the past month that its wireless broadband internet service (WBBI) will be terminated by Dec. 31. The decision will affect 8,000 internet subscribers in the province. Roughly 7,000 of those will have access to Xplornet, a high-throughput satellite service being promoted by SaskTel. Another 1,000 or so will have to rely on less popular or less reliable options. Michelle Englot, SaskTel’s director of external communications, said the crown corporation is taking steps to inform all WBBI subscribers of the alternative services that are available. However, some users say those alternatives are more expensive and offer inferior service. SaskTel’s WBBI offered unlimited data downloads at speeds of two to three megabits per second (mbps). Alternative ser vices such as Xplornet offer download speeds of 1.5, three or five mbps, but data use is capped at 10, 20 or 30 gigabytes per month, which some users con-

sider inadequate. Doug Eidem, who farms near Stewart Valley, Sask., said SaskTel’s decision to terminate WBBI service is frustrating and inconvenient. SaskTel re commended that Eidem switch to Xplornet. But according to him, the switch will mean larger monthly internet bills and unreasonable limits on use. It will also require the installation of new hardware on the roof of his house. Xplornet’s least expensive internet package costs $54.99 per month, about the same as SaskTel’s current WBBI service, but monthly use is capped at 10 gigabytes. “Ten gigabytes is nothing,” Eidem said. “You download something today and (every file) is one or 1.5 gigabytes. You’d have 10 gigabytes used up in four or five days.” Eidem, who spends winters in nearby Montana, said residents there have access to internet packages for $40 or $50 a month that offer unlimited data and download speeds of 15 mbps. Xplornet’s best package offers download speeds of five mbps and has a 30 gigabyte cap on monthly usage. That package costs $60 per month for the first 12 months and $85 per month after that. “I’m tired of being shafted by SaskTel,” Eidem said. “I’m just so disgusted by those guys, I don’t know what to say.” Englot said SaskTel’s decision to terminate WBBI service was precipitated by an Industry Canada

initiative that will reallocate a portion of the publicly regulated broadband spectrum that SaskTel now uses. SaskTel had an opportunity to reacquire that portion of the broadband spectrum through an Industry Canada auction process, but Englot said the price to reacquire it was too high. As a result, SaskTel decided to terminate WBBI internet services and is now focusing on switching rural users to other services. “I think that’s one thing that customers need to keep in mind is that technology does evolve and it does become obsolete,” Englot said. “The (WBBI) technology is outdated and needs to be upgraded. We have a number of good options and we’re … trying to put (customers) on the best service based on their usage.” SaskTel is also looking at another new technology known as LTE, which could serve as an alternative platform for rural internet subscribers. LTE is already being used by other internet providers in North America and would be capable of delivering service at download speeds of 100 mbps, which is 30 to 50 times faster than WBBI. SaskTel announced Sept. 10 that it would launch LTE in three areas of Saskatchewan on a trial basis. That trial launch will begin in December and conclude in August. After that, SaskTel officials will assess its performance and determine if it should be launched in

other parts of the province. SaskTel’s decision to explore an LTE upgrade came too late for Eidem. If LTE is rolled out in his area, he could be looking at switching internet hardware yet again a year or two down the road. “The switch to Xplornet is just so futile,” he said. “I know that we’re going to have to update for another expense when this LTE comes, and what does it hurt to use (WBBI) spectrum until that happens. It’s just foolish.” Englot said SaskTel is offering a number of incentives for WBBI subscribers to switch to Xplornet. For example, SaskTel will waive activation fees, termination fees, equipment fees and installation fees for all WBBI subscribers who sign a three-year Xplornet contract. However, SaskTel will not be reimbursing customers for WBBI hardware. “At this point, it’s obsolete technology,” Englot said. “There is no use for it.” Details on Xplornet packages can be obtained by calling Xplornet customer care at 866-303-1985. Other rural internet options include mobile internet (MiFi), which runs off SaskTel’s 4G cellular network but has a monthly cap of 10 gigabytes.

CROP REPORT SOYBEANS | PRODUCTION

Good yield, quality for Man. soybeans Pleasing results | With disease and insects plaguing canola, some growers are sold on beans BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Albert Turski didn’t have high expectations for his soybean crop after disappointing canola yields of 25 bushels per acre on his farm near La Salle, Man. However, he was pleasantly surprised when he began combining his beans in September, given the extreme heat and dry conditions in Manitoba this summer. Turski’s 1,500 acres of soybeans averaged 37 to 45 bu. per acre, significantly higher than the 10 year average of 30 bu. per acre for Manitoba. “Honestly, I was expecting a little less yield. I was expecting 25 to 30 (bu. per acre). It surprised us,” said Turski. According to the provincial crop report for the third week of September, the average soybean yield in eastern Manitoba has been 35 bu. per acre. Producers near Carman have reported yields of 40 bu. per acre and fields near Starbuck have topped 50 bu. per acre.

Initial results suggested that soybean yields would be below average when harvest began earlier in September, said Dennis Lange, Manitoba Agriculture’s crop production adviser in Altona. Beans combined early near Altona yielded 25 to 30 bu. per acre, but those were early maturing varieties, Lange said. Later maturing varieties received timely rain in August, which increased yields to 35 bu. and higher, said Lange. Quality has also been good, he added. “Even though some of the seed is dry, there really haven’t been any complaints about splits or green seed.” Turski said many growers in the Red River Valley feel good about soybeans right now. “There are a lot of smiles around. The prices are right and at 40 bu. per acre, that’s pretty good.” Soybean prices topped $18 per bu. in early September, but have since backed off from those record levels. Nonetheless, the November futures contract on the Chicago Board of

Chris Unger, senior research associate with DuPont Pioneer, holds soybeans at the company’s research centre in Carman, Man. The crop has exceeded expectations this year in Manitoba. Many growers are reporting yields of 35 bushels per acre or higher. | ROBERT ARNASON PHOTO Trade was trading around $16.50 per bu. in the third week of September, which is a fantastic price for beans. Turski may be fond of soybeans at the moment, but his affection for canola has soured. He said he is sick of the diseases and insects that prey on the oilseed. “I’m really tired of babysitting canola. Every week, it’s spray this,

spray that, spray this.” Disease and insects may have played a role in poor canola yields, but Chris Unger, DuPont Pioneer’s senior soybean research associate in Carman, Man., said the primary factor was five weeks of hot weather in June and July. “It’s environmental, there’s no question,” he said. “Typically, we like to see canola flowering for five to six

weeks. This year, we saw it flowering for closer to two to three weeks.” Turski said he intends to cut back from the 1,000 acres of canola he grew this year and shift production toward soybeans. “They’re pretty easy to grow,” he said. “Seed, that’s your number one expense, and your inoculant is the next thing, and that’s pretty well all you really have to do.”

GM STUDY | FRENCH SAFETY TRIAL

Scientists call GM study ‘scientific misconduct’ BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The Canadian Biotechnology Action Network (CBAN) is calling for a moratorium on genetically modified crop approvals in the wake of a French study that found serious health issues with lab rats that consumed Monsanto’s GM corn. “Health Canada must re-evaluate the safety of all GM foods based on these results and halt new approvals until we have long-term testing and transparent regulation,” said CBAN co-ordinator Lucy Sharratt. The study, which was published in the peer-reviewed scientific journal Food and Chemical Toxicology, has been widely criticized by the scientific community for flawed methodology and unsubstantiated findings. Monsanto Canada spokesperson Trish Jordan shrugged off CBAN’s calls for Health Canada to revamp its approval system for GM foods. “From CBAN it’s predictably irresponsible and opportunistic but that’s to be expected,” she said. Jordan said Health Canada and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency have the scientific background to critically and carefully assess GM crops. “These are safe products and they

These are safe products and they have been used safely for the last 16 years with zero impact on human health. TRISH JORDAN MONSANTO CANADA

have been used safely for the last 16 years with zero impact on human health,” she said. A spokesperson for Health Canada said it has not had a chance to review the French study that questions the safety of a variety of Roundup Ready corn that received full regulatory approval in Canada in 2001. “Should our review of this new study demonstrate a risk, Health Canada will take the appropriate actions to protect the health and safety of Canadians,” said Gary Holub. Gilles-Eric Seralini, a microbiology professor at the University of Caen, conducted the two-year feeding trial on 200 rats. His study found that rats fed a diet containing Monsanto’s NK603 Roundup Ready corn, and drinking water laced with 0.1 parts per billion of Roundup herbicide developed cancerous tumours faster and died earlier

than control rats fed non-GM corn. Most of the female rats fed the GM corn and Roundup laced water developed two to three times the tumours of the control rats. “In view of these findings the researchers consider that market authorizations for these products should be immediately reviewed,” said a news release issued by the Committee for Research and Independent Information on Genetic Engineering , a group that supported the research. It said the typical 90-day feeding trial used by seed technology companies in their submissions to regulatory agencies around the world should be extended to two years. Sharratt said the study raises questions about all GM crop approvals. “Health Canada has approved this GM corn and all other GM foods based on corporate tests that were too short to observe the severe health

impacts that this study found.” Scientists around the world have panned Seralini’s methodology and his results. One of the main criticisms is that he used Sprague-Dawley rats, which have a genetic predisposition for developing tumours. A statistical oddity in the study is that the rats fed the highest level of GM corn fared better than those that consumed less. Critics say there were an insufficient number of rats in the experiment, especially in the control groups. There were concerns whether the amount of corn used in the diets was normal for rats and whether the corn contained mycotoxins due to improper storage. “In my opinion the methods, stats and reporting of results are all well below the standard I would expect in a rigorous study,” David Spiegelhalter, a professor at the University of Cambridge, said in a news release issued by the Science Media Centre. “To be honest, I am surprised it was accepted for publication.” Mark Tester, research professor at the Australian Centre for Plant Functional Genomics at the University of Adelaide, wonders why more than 100 previous feed trial studies by reputable scientists have noticed no ill health effects of consuming

GM crops. “The first thing that leaps to my mind is why has nothing emerged from epidemiological studies in the countries where so much GM has been in the food chain for so long?” he said in the Science Media Centre news release. “If the effects are as big as purported and if the work really is relevant to humans, why aren’t the North Americans dropping like flies?” Seralini defended his work, saying it was vetted by the world’s best food toxicology magazine, which took more time reviewing the study than the critics who panned it within 24 hours of publication. Jordan said publication of the study raises serious questions about the peer review system and the journal that published the material. Bruce Chassy, professor emeritus of food science at the University of Illinois, said the purpose of the study was to negatively influence public opinion of GM crops. “This makes a mockery of science. It is a shame that the media and the journal that published the study were so uncritical,” he said in a news release issued by the Council for Biotechnology Information. Chassy alleged that the study raises “profound questions of possible scientific misconduct.”

CWB offers more flexibility for delivery High protein levels make move possible BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Ample lentils weigh on market Ending stocks larger than average | Disciplined growers are selling just enough to meet demand BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Agriculture Canada has reduced its estimate of lentil ending stocks but it is still a number that will weigh down markets, says an analyst. The latest forecast for 2012-13 is for 650,000 tonnes of carryout, which is down from the August estimate of 950,000 tonnes due to reduced production and increased exports. That is lower than the 788,000 tonnes left over after the 2010-11 campaign but still well above the 10-year average of 261,000 tonnes. Chuck Penner, analyst with LeftField Commodity Research, said farmers sometimes under-report their production to Statistics Canada

so there is a strong possibility the stocks number may head higher. While there is good demand shaping up for lentils, farmers have become disciplined sellers of the crop. “What the market has to deal with is the willingness of farmers to sell those inventories and farmers have been pretty content not to,” he said. Growers are selling just enough to meet the demand but they’re not dumping their lentils. They tend to wait for exporters to bid prices up by a cent or two per pound when they need to fill a vessel. Penner said demand has been steady from India, where the government released the first advance estimate of the kharif or summer crop calling for 5.26 million tonnes of pro-

duction, down 18 percent from 201112 and 26 percent from 2010-11. But India grows its chickpeas, peas and lentils in the rabi or winter season and soil moisture appears to be good for that crop. “It’s been a great end to the monsoon season for them,” he said. He believes it’s possible that lentil demand could slump in March when the winter crop is harvested but in the meantime demand should be good because inventories are low. Penner’s forecast is for prices to remain fairly firm but he doesn’t see much upside due to the burdensome supply. He believes green and red lentil prices will come together later in the 2012-13 marketing campaign be-

cause growers cut back on red lentil acres more than they did with greens this year.

High protein levels in this year’s wheat crop are allowing CWB to offer more flexibility to farmers who commit grain to early delivery and harvest pools. CWB announced Sept. 20 that it is expanding the grade and protein bands for wheat delivered against CWB pool contracts. The changes will reduce the need for farmers to request contract changes if the quality of grain they deliver differs from what they contracted. “At the introduction of the 2012-13 pool contracts, CWB indicated that it would provide farmers and companies with as much flexibility as possible to deal with potential misgrades at the elevator, as long as conditions allowed,” CWB said in a news release. “The grade pattern of this year’s crop and expected market spreads have reduced the risks associated with providing this additional flexibility.” Farmers should continue to estimate grade and protein levels as accurately as possible and contract grain based accordingly. However, the expanded delivery bands will make contracting easier and will reduce the chance of misgrades. Farmers will still be paid for the grade and protein levels that they deliver, but the need to alter contract terms will be reduced. If the grade and protein of grain delivered still falls outside the expanded allowable ranges, farmers can adjust their delivery contracts at no cost, as long as changes are made before pool sign-up deadlines. The sign-up deadlines for the early delivery pool is Sept. 28. The deadline for the harvest pool is Oct. 31. Farmers who wish to have their contract terms adjusted can call CWB at 800-275-4292.

GRAIN TRADING | U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE REPORTS

USDA noon grain reports won’t pause trade at ICE; Chicago likely to follow suit CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — The U.S. grain industr y has renewed its demand that the U.S. Department of Agriculture release crop data when futures markets are not open. The department plans to change the release time of its major grain

reports to noon eastern time from 8:30 a.m. beginning in January. IntercontinentalExchange, the second largest U.S. futures exchange operator, says it does not plan to pause grain trading when the government changes its release time.

That position makes it less likely that the world’s biggest grain market, the CME Group’s Chicago Board of Trade, will agree to a pause during the monthly supply and demand reports that can sharply influence grain trade.

Traders on the Chicago floor say that big grain companies who for decades have been the largest crop traders are now seeing fierce competition from hedge funds with deep pockets and ultra-fast electronic trading systems.

That may cut the market dominance that the big grain firms have traditionally enjoyed, floor traders say. In the past, traders had about two hours to analyze USDA reports before trading opened for the day.

MARKETS | CORN, WHEAT

Corn loses luster to wheat, but shine may return Wheat climbing too high | Livestock feeders who switched when wheat prices were below corn are starting to return CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — The strength in U.S. wheat, bolstered by the increasing possibility of Russia limiting exports due to drought decimating its crop, could help corn prices gain ground. The price difference between wheat and corn was almost $1.50 US a bushel on Sept. 21, the widest in 19 months. The hefty premium of wheat prices over corn could recover some of the demand for corn that was lost after prices hit an all-time high of $8.4375 on Aug. 10 due to the worst drought in half a century devastating the U.S. crop. End-users who had turned to wheat as an alternative to costly corn could now be taking another look at corn as wheat prices at the Chicago Board of Trade neared $9 a bushel. Ever since wheat became cheaper than corn in July last year for the first time in 16 years, the livestock sector has been substituting wheat for corn. But with the reversal to a more traditional price relationship, some of this lost demand could possibly return to corn. “Demand can’t get any worse for corn, but it can get better,” said Karl Setzer, a commodity trading adviser at MaxYield Coop in West Bend, Iowa. “We are starting to see some feed demand come back (to corn).” South Korea’s largest feedmaker, Nonghyup Feed last week set an international tender to buy 140,000 tonnes of corn and up to 70,000 tonnes of feed wheat. The need to preserve corn supplies in the United States after the drought reduced the crop to the smallest in six years in a process the industry calls demand rationing has been successful, analysts said. Corn export sales last week, for instance, totalled slightly less than 70,000 tonnes. But the amount of corn that buyers took delivery of last week was the highest since mid-May, showing end-users were in need of the grain. The December corn futures price at the Chicago Board of Trade has

tumbled nearly $1 a bushel, or 11 percent, from its August peak due in part to profit taking and pressure as the harvest advanced in the Midwest farm belt and filled supply channels. CBOT December wheat, however, has rallied nearly seven percent since mid-August to $8.9725 Sept. 21. Fueling the charge in wheat is the prospect of Russia limiting exports due to a smaller crop this year and a strong export pace. Ru ssian e c on o m i c s m i n i s t e r Andrei Belousov hinted last week of a possible ban. A ban on wheat exports by Russia in 2010 after a historic drought caused wheat prices to rally. Some analysts do not expect wheat prices to make further gains in the coming weeks, unless the weather in the United States and Australia turns significantly drier. “Wheat bulls are going to be tough to feed,” said Mike Zuzolo, president of Global Commodity Analytics in Lafayette, Indiana. “The Russian export curb is out of the bag.” Analysts said soybean futures were set for a rebound after the biggest weekly drop in a year last week. November soybean futures tumbled nearly seven percent last week as the harvest advanced and anecdotal accounts of better-than-expected yields. A trader with strong connections to cash markets said farmers have been selling soybeans off the combines but added that the amounts have not been large. “Farmers tend to sell soybeans and store corn. If they need cash flow, they’ll sell a truck or two of soybeans,” he said. Price charts show that soybean futures typically fare poorly in late September and early October. A Reuters analysis of data showed in 2011, the spot month fell 7.1 percent in the week ended Sept. 25, and was down 6.2 percent in the first week of October. In 2010, prices rose 5.3 percent in the week ended Sept. 26 but fell 6.1

In 2009, prices fell 4.4 percent in the week ended Sept. 20, were down 1.6 percent in the week ended Sept. 27 and were down 4.4 percent the following week. In 2008, prices tumbled 23.2 percent in the week ended Sept. 21, rose 1.8 percent in the week of Sept. 28 and fell 14.7 percent the following week. Grain markets will get price direction this week from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s quarterly stocks and small grains reports. The stocks report will show the extent of demand rationing in corn and soybeans in the just-ended 201112 season (Sept.-Aug.). The early harvest of this year’s corn crop and how much of it was fed to livestock in August could be one of the highlights of the stocks reports, analysts said. “We know corn was harvested early but how much of it was used?” said Scott Irwin, professor of agricultural economics at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign.

GRAIN MARKETING | CWB SIGN-UP

CWB pool sign-up first test of interest in new organization MARKET WATCH

D’ARCE McMILLAN

he deadline for signing up for the CWB’s early delivery pool is Sept. 28, the day after most of you will read this column. The number of sign-ups for the early program will be one of the first indications of whether the new CWB can provide offerings that prairie farmers find useful and whether the organization has a viable future. Another test, a bigger one but not the last, will come Oct. 31, the dead-

line for signing on to the regular harvest pool. Of course, the CWB is also cash buying grain and has a pool and cash program for canola. It is hard to predict how the first crop year for the new CWB will go. The transition was full of challenges for the organization as it developed new contracts, negotiated handling agreements with grain companies and attempted to maintain good relationships with farmers and customers, all the while undergoing the trauma of laying off a huge part of its staff whose jobs had disappeared. Gord Flaten, head of CWB grain procurement, gave an update on the organization to the Canadian Farm Writers’ Federation Sept. 23. He said it was too early to make any judgments, but he was generally pleased with the response of farmers

to the new CWB offerings and the level of interest in learning more. The CWB recently held what must have been, at least in my limited knowledge, one of the largest telephone conference calls ever staged. Flaten, CWB president Ian White and 2,500 farmers were all on the phone together for about 90 minutes talking about CWB programs. In that call, 81 percent of the farmers said they were considering pooling all or a part of their wheat and 75 percent said they intended to pool some of their durum, Flaten said. The vast majority said they were considering pooling more than half their crop, he added. While the CWB has had deep staff cuts, it has retained almost its entire sales department. These people are experienced, have contacts with buyers and will do their best to get the

best price and basis possible. Their goal is not to pick the peak of the market, Flaten said. “But what we can claim is that on any given day we will get good value for that grain.” At this early stage of the crop year, developments are emerging that will shape the potential success or failure of CWB programs. There is a large, quality crop that is being harvested ahead of the normal pace. Farmers will know the volume and quality of the grain in their bins, and that will make it easier for them to make marketing decisions early. That is generally good for the CWB. On the other hand, prices are high this year, even during harvest, which is when increased farmer deliveries often pressures prices lower. That might encourage farmers to take prices offered now rather than

put their grain in a pool and risk averaging in lower prices if the market weakens later. And that risk can’t be ignored. Even though tight grain stocks provide strong market support, broader economic issues such as anemic U.S. growth, the European debt crisis and slowing Chinese growth could conspire to knock the legs out from the market. Because it can no longer count on getting all the Canadian wheat and durum crop, the CWB is delaying most of its forward selling until the contract deadlines have passed. White has suggested that a reasonable target for CWB market share would be 30 percent of the crop. Only time will tell if that assessment is correct.

HOGS | PRICE OUTLOOK

CATTLE | PLACEMENT NUMBERS

Hog price outlook strong for next year

Fewer head on feed in U.S. lots

Conditions ripe for profits | Pork demand is good and breeding herd reductions may reach five percent BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

The hog profitability outlook is good. Repeat: Good. That might come as a surprise to many in this period of extreme losses and near-panic, but market analysts say hog producers should be making profits next summer and all the way through the following calendar year. “We should see profitability in the summer,” said Purdue university hog industry analyst and economist Chris Hurt. “That should continue for the fall of 2013 and most all of 2014.” Pork demand is good. Packer capacity is fine, after the present forced herd liquidations are done. Exports are good. And the long-term outlook has suddenly become much better. Farmers in the U.S. are liquidating breeding stock and are expected to continue to do so. As well, producers are not restocking their barns with gilts or weanlings, and it is unlikely that the U.S. Midwest will experience another severe drought next summer. “We could cut four to five percent of the breeding stock (during the present chaos),” said Hurt. “This will set us up for smaller pork supplies starting in about June. We will see smaller U.S. supplies of pork and that will be further encouraging to hog prices in the last half of 2013.” Hurt and other analysts attribute the hog crisis to a sudden increase in feedgrain prices that struck in early June, as the world’s markets realized the U.S. Midwest drought was not short-term.

The current price crisis is linked to high feed prices rather than problems with demand. | As the drought continued, corn futures prices rose from $5.25 per bushel to $8 per bu. by the beginning of August. Soybean prices rose from $13 per bushel at the beginning of June to $17 by the beginning of September. Simultaneously, lean hog futures prices fell from $80 per hundredweight in June and July to $71 by late August and early September. That combination of surging feedgrain prices and falling hog prices has produced losses of around $50 per pig for cash market hog producers and

severe losses for weanling producers. There is nothing specific to the hog industry behind the sudden trauma of severe losses. “It’s not a demand issue. It’s just strictly on the cost of production side,” said Hurt. With demand continuing strong, farmers next spring and summer should be able to supply a market that is short of pigs and pork. That should make next fall, traditionally the weakest period of the year, much better than it would have been without the Midwest drought.

May to July corn futures are trading for $7.40 to $7.50 per bu. September to December corn futures are trading at $6.66 to $6.37. May to July lean hogs futures are trading for $95.55 to $97.45. October to December 2013 lean hog futures are trading for $87.20 to $85.70. That’s a better spread for hog producers and should bring break-evens for most by March-April and profits through the summer into the fall. “We’re lining up well for the second half of 2013,” said Tyler Fulton of Hams Marketing.

CHICAGO, Ill. — (Reuters) — The number of cattle placed into U.S. feedlots for fattening last month fell by 11 percent from a year earlier. The government report signaled that feedlots were hampered by record-high feed costs. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s cattle-on-feed report on Sept. 21 showed that 2.002 million young cattle were put in feedlots in August. That was down nearly 11 percent from a year earlier and the smallest for the month since 1.993 million in 2005. “The grain values were still fairly high so the cheapest place to raise cattle was still outside the feedlot (on pasture),” said Don Rose, president of U.S. Commodities Inc. A smaller cattle herd also played a role, analysts said. A combination of economics, drought and high feed prices have prompted cattle producers to pare their herds for a number of years. Livestock Marketing Information Center director Jim Robb attributed last month’s surprisingly low placement number to the scarcity of animals weighing less than 600 pounds that could be moved into U.S. feedlots. “It tells us that this year’s drought, compared to last year’s drought, has been different in how ranchers have been forced to react. They are able to hold cattle longer, given the location and depth of last year’s drought in Texas and Oklahoma,” said Robb. The drop in placements may also mean producers are current. “Weather has been dry this summer and pastures short, so one would expect that if we had very many cattle ready to go into feedlots, they would have,” said University of Missouri livestock economist Ron Plain.

HOGS | HEDGING

Farmers could have avoided hog price disaster by hedging HEDGE ROW

ED WHITE

Tools have been in place for decades that provide price protection

hoever survives this present tsunami of losses in the hog industry has no excuse to not hedge most of their hog production in the future. In the cruel Darwinian reality of business, only the hedgers are likely to survive this profitability collapse anyway, so that advice will be useful only to the lucky producers who aren’t hedged now and yet somehow manage to limp through until next spring, when profitability should return. The sad reality of the present crisis is that it could have been almost

entirely avoided. Farmers can hedge both feedgrain purchase prices and hog sales prices. They can use cash contracts, futures contracts, options contracts and a wide array of tools to protect their margins well into the future. Most of the time, farmers can lock in profitable prices for spring and summer, break-even prices for the winter and slight losses for fall. This is a pattern that has lasted decades. That means farmers can generally ensure a profitable business year after year by diligently locking in their feedgrain and market hog sales prices each time they take on a future risk, such as breeding sows or buying a barn full of feeder hogs. Because of the four-year hog cycle, one year will usually be very profitable, one slightly loss-making and two modestly profitable. The result should be a profit over the four year cycle. Risk management professionals all know this, and it’s what they tell their clients. Yet many clients don’t listen, or only listen to bits of the advice. A broker told me last week that it’s a hard sell trying to get farmers to lock in hog-feedgrain spreads that guar-

antee losses. That makes sense on one hand, with losses not being good for business. But the point of risk management is to avoid exactly what we’re experiencing now: catastrophic losses that destroy your business. Back in the first days of June, farmers could lock in December hog futures at $80 per hundredweight, $5.25 per bushel corn and $12.75 per bu. soybeans. Contracts for other fall month contracts were similar. Similar spreads were available with Canadian cash hog and feedgrain prices. December hogs are now about $75.40, corn about $7.44 and soybeans $16.10. Locking in the prices in June would have led to a modest loss in the fourth quarter, a period when profits are hardest to generate and when catastrophic collapses are most likely. However, a lot of producers can’t bring themselves to lock in a loss, even for a short period, so they leave themselves open to the kind of disaster many are now experiencing. Everyone should have a lot of sympathy for the many producers who tried to hedge themselves, only to find that their risk management

tools had failed. That was true in 2008-09, when many sleazy American feeder barn operators reneged on weanling contracts when prices fell. Farmers thought they were hedged but ended up completely exposed. There is no futures contract for weanling pigs, so farmers either have to cross-hedge with slaughter hog futures or rely on cash contracts. Alas, these are far from perfect and leave them more exposed to risk than farrow-to-finish or feeder barn operators. We should also have much sympathy for anxious farmers who have hedged some, but not all, of their production. Another hog risk management specialist told me he recommends farmers lock in prices for 80 to 90 percent of their future production, but farmers are leery about going beyond 50 to 60 percent. Farmers are understandably concerned that their production might fall short of their expectations, so they don’t want to be over-hedged. However, being shy of coverage creates situations like now, where you have 50 percent hedged but the remaining 50 percent is costing $50

losses per pig for months. We should have a lot of respect for producers who hedge themselves by being well-diversified farms. That’s true of most Hutterite colonies, where a large crop base supports and supplies the hog barn. This year, big profits from the crops will offset big losses on the hogs. The value of the grain they feed might be less than what they could get if they sold it, but in exchange for a reduction in grain profit they get a sustainable hog operation. This kind of hedging doesn’t work when you get hit with drought, which is why so many Midwest American farmers are in crisis. Diversification does not give you a hedge when you don’t have the grain. However, for any farmers who don’t hedge at all, even after the disasters of 1998-99 and 2008-09, we can have sympathy for the human situation of being caught in crisis, but less for their situation as business operators. Most of them probably won’t be around by next spring, and the lucky few non-hedgers who survive had better learn their lesson or they’ll be devastated in the next fourth-quarter slump we experience.

LIVESTOCK | ALTERNATIVE FEED

U.S. dairy farmers opt for sugary treats as corn prices soar KANSAS CITY, Mo. (Reuters) — Mike Yoder’s herd of dairy cattle are living the sweet life. With corn feed more scarce and costly than ever, Yoder is looking for cheaper alternatives — and this summer he found a good deal on ice cream sprinkles. “It’s a pretty colourful load,” said Yoder, who operates 450 dairy cows on his farm in northern Indiana. “Anything that keeps the feed costs down.” Drought has forced U.S. corn prices sky high, and the market for alterna-

tive feed rations for cattle has also skyrocketed. Brokers are gathering discarded food products and putting them out for the highest bid to feeders. In the mix are cookies, gummy worms, marshmallows, fruit loops, orange peels and dried cranberries. Cattle producers are feeding virtually anything they can get their hands on that will replace the starchy sugar content traditionally delivered to the animals through corn. “Everybody is looking for alternatives,” said Ki Fanning, a nutritionist

with Great Plains Livestock Consulting in Eagle, Nebraska. “It’s kind of funny the first time you see it, but it works well. The big advantage to that is you can turn something you normally throw away into something that can be consumed. The amazing thing about a ruminant, a cow, you can take those type of ingredients and turn them into food.” Feed is generally the largest single production expense for cattle operators. Whatever is fed needs to supply

energy and protein levels that meet the animals’ nutritional needs. Producers are also looking for alternatives to high priced soybeans. Supplies are so tight that in some areas of the country feed corn is not available at any price. Pricing and availability of the many “co-products,” as they are called, varies from place to place, but buyers report savings of 10 to 50 percent. However, the savings for producers are shrinking as savvy resellers tie pricing for their alternative offerings

to the price of corn. The U.S. Department of Agriculture said last month the harvest now underway will yield the smallest corn crop in six years because of the drought that is still gripping more than half of the nation. “They are using less corn in a number of these rations, but as corn prices go up, prices for really every other co-product go up too,” said Greg Lardy, head of the animal sciences department at North Dakota State University.

erate supplies. With the weaker prices, feedlots sold only a portion of their intended offering. The week’s sales totalled 14,603, down 18 percent from the previous week. Only once in the last nine weeks has carryover volume been less than 1,500 head, which could indicate feedlots are starting to back up. Luckily, U.S. buyer interest is improving and more Canadian cattle are being sold on a formula price to U.S. plants. Beef demand could be sluggish for the next couple of weeks as consumers react to beef recalls.

Butcher bull prices fell $3. Weekly western Canadian non-fed slaughter to Sept. 15 was at 4,186 head, down 18 percent. Supplies should rise, and prices will seasonally trend lower.

Feeders weighing 400-500 lb. saw good demand and strong prices. Those heavier than 500 lb. all trended lower. Auction volume of 26,543 head was down 29 percent.

FEEDERS DIP

PACKERS SLOW SLAUGHTER

As is typical for September, auction volumes dipped before calf marketing ramps up in October. Supply tightened, but negative feeding margins pressured prices. Feeder steer prices on average fell almost $1.50 per cwt. while heifers were 50 cents lower. Stocker steers weighing 300-400 pounds fell following the previous week’s price surge.

U.S. packers have responded to negative processing margins by cutting hours rather than paying higher cattle prices. U.S. slaughter fell to 623,000 last week compared to 662,000 last year in the same week. The reduced production could force cutouts a little higher, but falling pork prices will create strong competition at the meat counter.

U.S. beef cut-out values rose with Choice at $194.99 US per cwt., up $3.59, and Select at $184.25, up $4.30. The Montreal wholesale market for delivery this week was steady at $211-$213 Cdn. AAA and AA Canadian cut-out values rose 50 cents in the week ending Sept. 14. Canadian fed slaughter that week rose 11 percent.

CANFAX REPORT FED PRICES EDGE LOWER The voluntary beef recall on certain XL Foods products because of E. coli concerns set a bearish tone in the market. Canadian and U.S. fed cattle values have diverged, with the U.S. rising nearly $13 per hundredweight from summer lows while the Canadian market is setting its annual lows. Nebraska cash prices are now $13 higher than Alberta, causing U.S. packers to show more interest in Canadian cattle. Alberta packers have good supply and are taking a disciplined buying approach in the cash market. Fed steers averaged $108.57 per cwt. last week, down 35 cents from the previous week, and heifers were $107.57, down 91 cents. Alberta rail steers ranged $179.50$180.85 per cwt. and heifers were $179.50-$180.75. Alberta-Saskatchewan show list volumes peaked two weeks ago and a sharp reduction in captive inventories has since helped mod-

COW PRICES LOWER Slaughter cow prices also suffered under the XL Foods ground beef recall. D1, D2 cows prices ranged $66-$80 to average $72.90, down $3.25. D3 cows ranged $60-$75 to average $66.07, down $3.80. Dressed prices dropped to a range of $140-145 per cwt.

WP LIVESTOCK REPORT HOG PRICES CLIMB Hog prices rebounded from their seasonal low last week. Packers planning large slaughter had a little trouble getting enough supply, and as a result had to increase bids. Recent cooler weather in the United States helped hogs grow nicely, adding to the current heavy market supply that has been supplemented by herd culling as producers try to minimize the damage of record feed corn prices. Iowa-southern Minnesota hogs rose to $53 US per hundredweight Sept. 21, up from $48 Sept. 14. The U.S. composite pork carcass cut-out value was $77.84 Sept. 21, slightly down from $77.95 Sept. 14. U.S. slaughter for the week remained high at 2.406 million, down from 2.428 million the previous week but up from 2.292 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 pound 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 hot hanging weight. 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.

LAMB PRICE EDGES LOWER Beaver Hill Auction in Tofield, Alta., reported 626 sheep and 160 goats sold Sept. 17.

PRAIRIE FARMLAND | OWNERSHIP

Time to increase farmland ownership transparency

orporate investment in Saskatchewan farmland continues to increase, significantly increasing not just the size of farms but also the value of the land. What are often called mega-farms are now largely accepted parts of the landscape. Many are owned by Saskatchewan farmers, who have been successful and expanded their operations over the years. Some are owned by Canadian corporations, which lease the land back to farmers. Increasingly, however, foreign investment is coming into the land ownership mix via Canadian owners. In a recent Western Producer story, it was noted that rich buyers with overseas connections have been buying land at two or three times the assessed value. They often come from other parts of Canada, but have little farming experience. Clearly, they view farmland as an investment rather than as the basis for a way of life. However, these Canadian investors are not required to disclose their sources of capital nor their financing arrangements. Some farmers view this as a loophole in the Saskatchewan Farmland Security Act, and they may have a point. The board overseeing farmland ownership has recently asked some investors to sign declarations stating that they are the sole owners of the land. Mark Folk, general manager of the Saskatchewan Farmland Security Board, says concerns about foreign ownership are rising, but he sees no indication that Canadian buyers are buying land essentially on behalf of offshore investors, who would legally be limited to only 10 acres. Folk and his staff are working within the parameters of the legislation, but perhaps the legislation should be revisited to specify that foreign investors be identified, and at what level they are investing. This would put more transparency into the process, while reflecting the original intent of the 2002 legislation that provided wider Canadian access to Saskatchewan farmland.

Do you know the way to Gary Bettman’s house?

Did the original legislators foresee a time when Saskatchewan farmland would be such a hot item on the international market? Perhaps they did, but perhaps the act does not adequately address today’s environment. The government should ask two questions about the existing act: is the intent of the legislation adequately represented in law, and does it provide avenues to prove that people are in compliance? If those questions are not clearly answered, the legislation should be revisited. Foreign and wider Canadian investment is certainly helping drive up farmland prices. In 2011, prices rose by 11 percent in the first six months and another 10 percent in the second half of the year. Saskatchewan grain land remains among the cheapest in the world, but it’s definitely gaining ground. A recent report by ReMax, the real estate firm, said acres are regularly selling in the $800 to $1,500 range, and reports of $2,000 per acre are also emerging. Those prices are great for older farmers wanting to exit the industry, but daunting for young farmers trying to either get into agriculture or expand their holdings. Prices have not yet risen to speculative levels, but that could be a threat if more money flows into farmland from overseas. There is also the possibility that commodity returns will not support highpriced farmland. At that point, market forces will drive it back down. However, a boom and bust cycle in land prices is not generally positive. Agriculture is too reliant on forces such as weather and global economic forces as it is. One could argue that farmland, not unlike potash, is a strategic resource to Canada, even if the crops produced on it are not. If you take that view, knowing who really owns prairie farmland should be an important piece of the legislation that governs it. Bruce Dyck, Terry Fries, Barb Glen, D’Arce McMillan and Joanne Paulson collaborate in the writing of Western Producer editorials.

CO-OPERATIVES | GOVERNMENT REPORT

Co-op sector’s response to latest government report shows who’s in control NATIONAL VIEW

BARRY WILSON

hen a special House of Commons committee tabled a report last week on the co-operative sector, it signalled a more mature view of the sector by politicians. It also signalled the disturbing reality that private sector lobby groups have given up trying to change this government’s mind on anything. The current government attitude is:

“Decision made and if you don’t like it, get out of the way.” But let’s start with the more positive news. Last week’s report signals a political understanding that the co-op sector is huge, is economically influential, is not to be patronized or taken for granted. And it is not just a nostalgic rural reflection of the days when people (mainly farmers) got together to organize services for themselves that profitdriven capitalism would not provide. These days, co-ops range from the traditional agricultural organizations to funeral services, massive retail store chains, housing and any variety of activities between. Yet until now, political and bureaucratic Ottawa did not get it. The system still saw this sector, now encompassing millions of Canadi-

ans and hundreds of billions of dollars in assets, as a rural backwater best served by Agriculture Canada where it first was housed. Last week’s report suggested that political responsibility be shifted from Agriculture Canada, which has increasingly seen the sector as outside its core interest, to Industry Canada. The government would be smart to jump on this recommendation in what is the Year of the Co-operatives as proclaimed by the United Nations. Shawn Murphy, manager of government relations for the sector’s most powerful lobby — the Canadian Co-operative Association —said the move to industry would be a better fit so “governments will understand coops are businesses.” But there is much the committee report didnotaddress:thelongstanding

sector call for a co-op investment tax credit, although it did suggest the government look at the issue; budget cuts that eliminated the Co-operative Development Initiative and decimated Agriculture Canada’s co-ops secretariat; and the lobby dating back to the 1980s for a separate co-operatives department in the federal government. Yet the CCA uttered not a word of criticism about the omissions, seeing the call for more government contact with the sector as a positive outcome. But what about the bitter co-op denunciation in spring about the government decision to eliminate a decades-old program to help nurture new and emerging co-ops? At the time, agriculture minister Gerry Ritz said a rich sector has no need for a small federal fund that is mainly used to produce booklets

about co-operative history. The remark enraged some sector leaders but last week, nothing. Murphy offered a practical but chilling explanation. Sector leaders decided it was not worth the effort to fight a government that won’t take no for an answer. “The sector was upset but there was an understanding that this government in particular does not change its mind on a decision,” he said. So public pressure does not matter. Politics do not matter. As Ritz said during the Canadian Wheat Board monopoly debate: if you are not with me, get out of the way because the train is coming. Even a sector as potentially powerful as co-operatives got the message and decided not to push back. This is a government in control.

& OPEN FORUM DIVERSIFICATION | TIMING

FIELD TRIP | CLOSE ENCOUNTER

Reduce resource dependence during boom BY MICHAEL HOLDEN

estern Canadians owe their prosperity in no small measure to the region’s vast endowments of natural resources. Whether it be Alberta’s oil sands, Saskatchewan’s potash, Manitoba’s hydro capacity, British Columbia’s mines and forests or any of the myriad other resources at our fingertips, living off the land (and what’s under it) has served us well. At the same time, however, we have always had something of a schizophrenic attitude toward our dependence on natural resources. While with one breath we acknowledge that our current prosperity is the result of our resource wealth, with the next we lament our reliance on natural resources and worry that we need to diversify our economy and become less reliant on the export of raw materials. There are many reasons why broadening our economic base is a good idea. For one, resource-based industries are often subject to gut-wrenching volatility. The boom-bust cycle that most of us in the West know so well (Manitobans are a notable exception) causes profound and often underestimated economic damage. While the downside to the troughs is obvious, even the peaks can have negative consequences. For example, labour shortages in boom times create delays and drive up the costs of making new investments and expanding existing activity. Volatility also makes it hard for governments and businesses to plan

Reducing resource dependence is low on the priority list during boom times but it’s too difficult when the economy is depressed. | FILE PHOTO beyond a short time horizon. Another reason is that even though we have considerable untapped resource potential in the region, much of that wealth is non-renewable. For example, at some point our oil and gas will run out, will no longer be cost-effective to recover or will gradually be replaced by alternative energy sources. As well, there is the issue of valueadded activity. Some argue that western Canadians have built their collective livelihood around selling their goods at their lowest point on the value chain and then buying

them back at the highest point as finished goods. Performing more value-added work on our resources not only allows us to move up the value chain, but also smooths out the overall effect of commodity price swings. So if diversification offers so many benefits, why is it not higher up on the list of priorities? The issue is that resource dependence is only considered to be a problem when times are bad. During economic booms, no one is particularly concerned about overreliance on natural resources because those

resources are usually driving the boom in the first place. By contrast, when the market for resources and raw materials goes south, as it inevitably does, western Canadians are suddenly confronted with the flip side of resource dependence. Even though the benefits of a more diversified economy suddenly become obvious under the harsh light of a commodity price crash, two new problems appear. One is that the duration of a typical economic downturn is a lot shorter than the time it would take for diversification efforts to have any impact. In other words, when the problem appears, it’s already too late for diversification to help. As well, our ability to diversify during tough economic times is hamstrung by a lack of resources and the emergence of more pressing priorities. In short, when times are good, economic diversification seems unnecessary, but when times are bad, we are too busy just trying to get by to focus on diversification. It’s like having a hole in your roof: when it’s sunny outside, you don’t bother fixing it and when it’s raining, you can’t. Western Canada is presently outperforming the rest of the country economically, so solving this riddle is not high on the current list of priorities. In the long-term, however, we avoid it at our peril. Michael Holden is senior economist with the Canada West Foundation.

AGRISTABILITY CHANGES | REFERENCE MARGINS

New reference margin will slash support levels HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

he cut to AgriStability is much deeper than most people realize. If you think you still have good support because of your strong reference margins, think again. You’ve probably heard that the trigger for AgriStability payments is dropping to 70 percent from 85. That’s only part of the story. Starting in 2013, your reference margin will be limited to your historical reference margin or your allowable expenses reported in previous years, whichever is lower. For a lot of grain producers who have built up strong reference margins, that number is now irrelevant. Allowable expenses will be a much

lower number, and that’s the number that will be used. Allowable expenses under AgriStability are only a portion of a farm’s total expenses. If your allowable expenses are higher than your reference margin, you’ve been losing a pile of money. Let’s say your current reference margin is $500,000 and your allowable expenses in previous years have totalled an average of $300,000. The $500,000 no longer matters. Your support is based on the lower of the two numbers. Your margin will need to drop below $210,000, which is 70 percent of $300,000, before you trigger an AgriStability payment. The level of support is now 70 percent regardless of the extent of margin loss, including negative margins. Previously, the support level varied from 60 to 80 percent in a tier system based on the degree of margin loss. Let’s say you have a bad year and your margin of income over allowable expenses is zero. Under the current system, you

would receive AgriStability support of $332,500 with a $500,000 reference margin, the current 85 percent trigger and the tier system for support levels, most of which is at 80 percent. However, the new system will use your $300,000 in allowable expenses from previous years instead of the $500,000 reference margin. The new trigger is 70 percent, so your coverage is based on $210,000. A flat support level of 70 percent means you will receive $147,000, less than half of what you would have previously received. If you’ve had a number of good years, your AgriStability reference margin may have you feeling 10 feet tall and bulletproof. You may want to recalculate your support levels and recalibrate your attitude. As a farm safety net, AgriStability is riddled with flaws. It discriminates against diversified farms and it doesn’t provide ongoing support in the event of multiple loss years. However, it’s been a heck of a good deal for grain producers who have had decent crops in recent years.

Some suggest that strong reference margins have contributed to the rising price of farmland. Guaranteed protection against a significant income shortfall could make a producer more aggressive when bidding on land. Did this factor into the federal decision? Will producers even participate in the program given the depth of cuts? Federal consultation over changes to AgriStability and AgriInvest was largely non-existent. Producers, producer groups and provincial governments have been blindsided. In retrospect, maybe we should have seen it coming. Business risk management programs are the inevitable target when trying to cut the ag budget because they are the largest expenditures. Farmers and farm groups have a tough time agreeing on anything, but they should have been asked for their input on how to redesign the farm safety nets. The way the cut was made has added salt to the wound. Kevin Hursh is an agricultural journalist, consultant and farmer. He can be reached by e-mail at kevin@hursh.ca.

Goats can’t have their story and eat it too EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

DAN YATES, REPORTER

hen I was hired at The Western Producer, my bosses didn’t warn me I’d be wrestling with goats. But there I was, standing in the Wolverine community pasture chatting with goat meat producer Brian Payne when the scene played out like an episode of Benny Hill. The conversation was great: a demonstration project had several hundred of Payne’s animals from Caprina Farm & Ranch grazing alongside cattle west of Lanigan, Sask. Neat stuff. I had shoved a notebook in my back pocket to free up a hand as I juggled a camera, voice recorder and a fistful of pens out in the field. That’s when one of Payne’s animals made itself, ahem, intimately familiar with that back pocket. I turned around to find a dozen pages of my handwritten notes going down the throat of a goat. “You’ve made some questionable choices in the past, Yates,” I said to myself. “This is another.” Without hesitation, I stuck a few fingers in the goat’s mouth, planted my right foot and start pulling out every scrap of paper I could. I’m proud to say I won and that I still have 10 fingers. Looking back, I have to smirk: it’s easily the weirdest thing I’ve ever been paid to do. While I doubt I’ll take up goat farming in my lifetime —I shouldn’t be entrusted with the care of any living creature — and I’m unsure if we’ll commonly see goats grazing alongside cattle across the Prairies, the possibilities are intriguing. Payne presented a strong case for the goat industry. He talked of growing opportunities within emerging communities, how the industry can benefit from co-operation and of the lessons he’s learned over the past 20 years. And when small ruminant specialist An Peischel explained how she employed goats in a reclamation project, bringing vegetation back to land covered in lava rock in Hawaii, a compelling case for holistic and sustainable land management starts to form. Peischel argued goats are “biological land enhancers.” Really? I thought they were horned garburators. “It is intensive management,” Peischel told me. “You don’t just put goats on land and leave them.” At the very least, there might be more to these animals than their reputation indicates. It’s a neat-o lesson to learn. Well worth the cost of a notebook.

Re: No consultation Horst Schreiber’s letter misrepresents the facts with respect to industry consultation around the next suite of agriculture programs. Unlike what Mr. Schreiber contends, industry has been instrumental in shaping the policy development that will guide farm programs into the future. Over the past two years, federal, provincial and territorial governments have conducted a series of face-to-face national and provincial engagement sessions with farmers, processors, distributors and manu-

facturers. Furthermore, ministers have conducted dozens of farmer roundtables across the country, all while regularly meeting one-on-one with Canadian industry leadership at the federal and provincial level. In addition, the House of Commons agriculture committee held five months of hearings where they heard the opinions of over 115 stakeholders on what areas government should be concentrating on in order to ensure a bright future for Canadian agriculture. While consultations have proven successful, they are by no means over. Ongoing dialogue with producers and Canadians will continue to play an important role in shaping

governments’ policies and programs in agriculture and agrifood. Our government will continue to work with farmers and industry to ensure that government programs continue to help farmers grow their businesses and our overall economy. Gerry Ritz, Agriculture minister, Ottawa, Ont.

single desk has been stripped away. The minister still misses the difference between marketing and just price taking. Just like every other grain company, the new CWB is simply selling a commodity. And in order to beat out its competition, it has to reduce its price to make sales, and that means less money for farmers. I especially liked the poke he took at me about wallowing in the past. As a minister of the crown, he no doubt understands how important the past is, and he knows that if he gets away with the unlawful seizure of the farmer-controlled CWB, he will have established a legal precedent which gives him and (prime minister Stephen) Harper more power. Ritz’s letter reminds me of similar attacks by former Saskatchewan Wheat Pool president Leroy Larsen and Don Loewen, the former SWP CEO, when I and others stated that farmers would lose control when SWP was privatized. The most hilarious statement that Mr. Ritz makes is that the Harper government will always stand up for farmers. It only took the Harper government seven months to break the law and strip the CWB’s single desk away and also confiscate from farmers (the CWB assets.) On the other hand, this Harper government can’t seem to stand up to the railways on service issues. This is costing farmers over $150 million a year and the gouging still continues. They can’t seem to stand up for farmers there. Perhaps they are not up to the task of standing up to the railways. The Harper government is also content on reducing funding to AgriStability by $430 million per year and reducing coverage to only 70 percent of losses, making the program now near useless. The Harper government actions reminds me of the statements grain companies made when they were closing the elevators and railways were closing branch lines to become more efficient. I had stated at the time: don’t become any more efficient as I can’t afford it. Please, Mr. Ritz, don’t stand up for farmers any more, because every time you do, it costs us money and resources.

To the Editor: “How are we going to feed the world?” is a phrase that we hear all too often. What we should be asking ourselves is, “how do I feed myself?” The world is growing at such a rapid pace that no matter what technology is developed, farmers are not going to be able to supply enough food to feed the billions. Instead, why not encourage and teach others to feed themselves? Should farmers, who are having a tough time making a living, also have the burden of media and government asking how they plan on feeding all these people? Why not instead put some of that energy into encouraging the population to learn to feed themselves. The

OPINION bureaucrats would rather spend their energy and taxpayers’ money on fighting farmers that want to sell wholesome raw products directly to their customers, all in the name of food safety. I’m not sure about you, but I would rather trust my food safety to my neighbour than a large factory that puts through thousands of animals a day. I am thankful that we live in Saskatchewan, and they do allow us to sell most products direct to our customers. Many other provinces and states do not have that luxury. With the ever-increasing concern about food safety, we will see more people shift towards producing more of their own food. I applaud the folks that take the time to teach others how to tend a garden, raise chickens, put in a crop, etc. It is time to quit asking the question, “how are we going to feed the world?”

The two questions I believe all Canadian citizens outside of Quebec should be asking all their elected representatives are these: why does Quebec continue every year since 1957 to receive 50 percent of the total equalization funding as a “have not” province, and how does Quebec have the right to declare only French as their one official lan-

t’s hard when long-standing political promises for development in your community are suddenly withdrawn. It’s hard when a beloved elder from the district dies unexpectedly or when a car load of young people are killed in a car accident. It’s hard when a fire, tornado or an extreme hailstorm devastates property and livelihood. The entire district feels the pain. Folks find strength only as they come together and acknowledge their feelings of vulnerability. From of old, even in our smallest towns, builders realized the importance of having churches and community halls as gathering places. They realized the elders and wise ones would be able to deliver wise words and prayers that could help push back the threat of the darkness. We need time to lament, to shed tears and tell God how we really feel. Then we need words that carry the healing balm of hope. Some turn to the Scriptures where it is said “(God can) change rocks into pools of water, and solid cliffs into flowing springs.” They listen for the word of the Lord “who brought them out of their distress.” Others find healing through the lessons of nature. We annually witness the cycle of the seasons and see the die-back of vibrant growth with the onset of winter. We may think it’s never going to happen again, but as the darkness retreats and the sun warms the earth, new signs of life do burst forth. These lessons give us something to cling to while we move through heavy, discouraging times. Remember, we are not alone. Remember to look for rainbows in the tears and to listen for the promise of God’s enduring love. Joyce Sasse writes for the Canadian Rural Church Network at www.canadian ruralchurch.net.

AGRONOMY | CLUBROOT SPREAD

Alberta farmers on lookout as clubroot spreads Soil testing increased | At least three new counties have identified clubroot in fields for the first time BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

It was only a matter of time before clubroot spread its knobby roots into central Alberta. It has been confirmed in three fields in Stettler County this fall. As well, two more cases have been added to the case discovered in Red Deer County last year. And, Flagstaff County officials have added another six confirmed fields to their tally of 10 found in previous years. “If you look hard enough, you’ll find it,” said Art Preachuk, Red Deer County’s agricultural manager. The news cases mean it is no longer a disease that only farmers near Edmonton need to worry about. As of last year, more than 800 fields across Alberta had tested positive for clubroot since its discovery in 2003. New fields confirmed in 2012 will be added to the provincial list at the end of harvest. Officials have sent letters to every grain farmer in Red Deer County encouraging them to be on the lookout for clubroot in their fields. The letter includes detailed photographs, scouting guidelines and links to websites detailing clubroot and its devastating consequences. “I don’t think people should not know what we speak of when we talk of clubroot,” Preachuk said. “Sending this out to 1,000 producers, we feel, gets direct to them better than 50 or 100 people at a meeting.” Canola cannot be grown on a field in the county for at least four years once clubroot is discovered there. Preachuk said county employees are looking at fields and entrances to fields where the positive cases were discovered. “We’re giving it as much attention as we can, but it’s still like looking for a needle in a haystack.” Quinton Beaumont, director of agricultural services with Stettler County, said the county can no longer say it is clubroot free. “It’s in our county,” said Beaumont. The farmer who discovered the disease asked county staff to confirm its identity. Beaumont said until the discovery, the county surveyed one field in every township of land. That has since increased to eight fields in every township where clubroot has been detected. Farmers in Stettler County cannot grow canola on clubroot land for at least five years. After that, they can grow canola only once in every four years and must grow only clubroot resistant varieties. “Farms are growing and the sheer distance farmers travel to seed, I think it was only a matter of time before it was found,” he said. Laurie Hillaby, agricultural fieldman with Flagstaff County, said six more cases of clubroot were added to

the 10 positive cases discovered in the central Alberta county. “I expected to find a whole bunch more than we did,” said Hillaby. Murray Hartman, Alberta Agriculture’s provincial oilseed specialist, said he has no firm number on how many new fields have tested positive for clubroot. Scouting is still underway. At least three new counties have identified clubroot in fields for the first time, he said. “Am I surprised? No,” Hartman said. “As you get more and more infestations in fields and canola grown on every second acre, it’s logical we will find new infestations.” Reports of sightings have mostly come from counties where it has been found in the past, as well as neighbouring counties. Hartman has not heard reports of clubroot from the Peace River area or southern Alberta. Saskatchewan cases Brent Flaten, integrated pest management specialist with Saskatchewan Agriculture, said the ministry is watching the clubroot situation in Alberta closely. Three confirmed cases of low levels of clubroot have been discovered in three different fields in the province, but none had symptoms that showed up on the canola plant above ground. “We just happened to catch the root symptoms,” said Flaten, who added the province is surveying fields for the disease and taking soil DNA samples to see if it can identify the soil borne disease. “We could have more of it, we just don’t know about it,” said Flaten. Manitoba situation Manitoba oilseed specialist Anastasia Kubinec said no visual signs of clubroot have shown up this season. Last year, two soil samples tested positive for clubroot but came back negative when they were retested. Samples from 100 fields will be tested and analyzed for clubroot as part of this year’s surveillance program. “As of right now, we do not have any known clubroot symptomology in our clubroot,” said Kubinec. “As far as I know, we have no confirmed cases of clubroot on plants.”

FLAX | GM TESTING

Quantum’s Triffid flax test provides next day answer Traces of the genetically modified crop halted flax shipments to the EU in 2009 BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Quantum Biosciences Inc. has developed a rapid Triffid test for flax growers. Results of samples received by 10 a.m. will be ready before noon the following day, which is much faster than the regular three-day turnaround. Lyle Simonson, chair of the Saskatchewan Flax Development Commission, said testing continues to be important despite the fact that the European Union hardly buys Canadian flax anymore. Producers realize what would happen to the flax industry if there was another Triffid-type incident, in which a genetically modified flax variety contaminates the supply chain, he added. “We’re going to lose a whole bunch of markets because we’re not considered to be safe and reliable.” Simonson said Triffid testing has come a long way since the deregistered GM crop was discovered in a shipment to Europe in 2009. “When they first started into this testing, it was three weeks to a month,” he said. Steven James, quality manager for Quantum, said producers want next day service because sometimes they have grain in the back of their truck ready to be delivered or they are trying to meet contract deadlines. The additional cost for the expedited service is $89.25 including taxes on top of the regular Triffid testing fee of $204.75, which can be subsidized by $100 if growers are willing to

submit their test results to the Flax Council of Canada. James said the expedited test involves the same amount of work but the samples are processed in duplicate to eliminate the need for retesting, which is the time saver. The amount of samples contaminated with Triffid, a deregistered experimental variety of GM flax, has fallen to about one percent from eight percent when the lab first started testing samples in 2009. The Flax Council of Canada is lobbying Europe to increase the allowable threshold of Triffid to 0.1 percent from 0.01 percent. “If the detection limit changed, then there would probably be next to zero positive samples,” said James. Flax sales to the European Union have plummeted in the wake of the 2009 discovery of Triffid in the seed supply. Exports averaged 384,100 tonnes between 2005-06 and 2009-10. Sales through the first 11 months of 201112 were 21,200 tonnes. Quantum is also expanding its testing for other crops. The company is developing a test for GM canola to ensure the commercial supply remains free of unapproved traits and that GM canola doesn’t appear in mustard shipments or in shipments of non-GM canola. It is also identifying a marker to test for midge resistant wheat to ensure that blends sold to farmers contain 90 percent resistant material and 10 percent midge susceptible wheat, which is an industry requirement.

The only way to test for that now is through variety tests, which requires a dozen tests because there are a dozen blends.

The federal NDP has accused the government of reckless cuts to farm programs. The issue received scant attention in the House of Commons last week as MPs returned to Parliament Hill, but agriculture critic Malcolm Allen said the recent federal-provincial agreement to significantly cut farm support budgets will leave farmers vulnerable when weather or commodity price collapses cause future problems. “It really is reckless, and farmers are saying that,” Allen said. “The government is saying you are more or less on your own, and that almost guarantees that there will be tractors on the Hill in future when farmers realize how vulnerable they are and how gutted the programs have been.” He said farmers are correct to complain that they were not properly consulted before the changes were announced and would not have agreed if they had known the extent of the cuts. Allen said that when the Commons agriculture committee plans its autumn and winter agenda, he will argue for committee hearings on the impact of the Growing Forward 2 deal. The committee held weeks of hearings earlier this year, but witnesses were offering general comments

without understanding the depth of cuts ministers and bureaucrats were negotiating. “We need a more informed discussion about this because now that we know the details, this is not good for farmers,” he said. In the Commons, deputy NDP agriculture critic Ruth Ellen Brosseau linked farm program cuts to the drought affecting eastern Canadian farmers this year. “Why do the Conservatives want to make cuts to programs that support farmers at such a crucial time?” she said. Ritz said she had it wrong because the new program rules will pay more as losses get larger. “What we have done is beefed up the bottom end, taking some of the money from the top end and putting it back into a lot of new monies for contributions on the non-BRM side, that is for innovation, science and research,” he said. “That is exactly what farmers need to move forward.”

MANITOBA ENERGY | BIPOLE III

Manitoba set to hear concerns on Bipole III Opposition to proposed route | Landowners also want compensation for the ‘forced sale of land’ BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

After months in dormancy, a controversial transmission line in Manitoba will soon come out of hibernation. Manitoba’s Clean Environment Commission will hold public hearings on Bipole III, a high voltage transmission line, from Oct. 1 until the third week of November. A five-person panel will listen to opponents and proponents of the contentious project at hearings in

Winnipeg and northern and rural Manitoba before making recommendations to the provincial government. The line is contentious because the government is forcing Manitoba Hydro, the provincial crown utility, to build the line on a circuitous route from northern Manitoba to Winnipeg, instead of a direct route on the east side of Lake Winnipeg. Thousands of Manitobans have participated in demonstrations, wrote letters to the editor and signed online petitions over the last few

years to protest the proposed route, which will run to the Saskatchewan border and then cut back across prime agricultural land in southern Manitoba. The NDP government and environmental groups have argued that such a route will preserve an intact boreal forest on the east side of Lake Winnipeg. However, Cal Penner, who farms near Elm Creek, Man., can’t comprehend the economics of the proposed route, which cuts across his property. It will cost an estimated $3.2 billion to build the transmission line on the

proposed route. In comparison, a line east of Lake Winnipeg would be $1 billion cheaper. The line will run across Penner’s farmland for 1.2 kilometres. He wants fair compensation for the long-term inconvenience of such an intrusion. “This is a forced sale of land,” he said. “I understand the common good, or the public good … but if I’m supposed to share my land with the public … then I think I should be compensated better than what they’re offering.” An Alberta company representing

These are three proposed routes for the Bipole III project

Manitoba Hydro has contacted Penner about compensation for an easement across his land, but he hasn’t signed any paperwork and is in no hurry to do so. The Bipole III coalition, which comprises landowners, engineers and former Manitoba Hydro executives who oppose the propose route, will represent the interests of farmers at the public hearings. Karen Friesen, coalition president and a farmer near Niverville, Man., said the group is bringing in experts to testify at the hearings, including Jim Collinson, a Canadian environmental consultant, assistant deputy minister in Manitoba and former president of the UNESCO world heritage committee. Friesen said the Clean Environment Commission can’t dictate public policy. It can only make recommendations to government. The project might still go ahead and the line might still cut across her 1,800 acre farm, but she hopes all Manitobans, and not just affected landowners, pay attention to the hearings. “(It’s) coming through the best agronomic growing area in our province … (but) there are a lot of reasons, not just agriculture, that people need to pay attention here. This is something that will affect all Manitobans.” For more information on the Bipole III public hearings, including the schedule, please visit the Clean Environment Commission website at www.cecmanitoba.ca.

Manitoba Hydro requires a 66 foot right of way to build the high voltage transmission line. If a line crosses a mile of farmland, the affected area would be 5,280 feet X 66 feet = 348,480 sq. feet, or eight acres. Manitoba Hydro has promised to compensate landowners a lump sum of 150 percent of the assessed value of the land. Assuming a land price of $2,000 in southern Manitoba, eight acres of easement equals $24,000. Manitoba Hydro will pay landowners for each tower built on their property. Payments per tower will range from $5,900 for hayland to $23,100 for certain types of cropland. Assuming a mid-range value of $15,000 and three towers per mile, a landowner would receive $45,000.

*Field results show that Pioneer Protector® Sclerotinia resistance can reduce the incidence of sclerotinia in a canola crop by over 50%. Individual results may vary. Depending on environmental and agronomic conditions, growers planting Pioneer Protector Sclerotinia resistant hybrids may still require a fungicide application to manage sclerotinia in their crop.

PUTTING CANOLA TO THE TEST

CROP MARKETS | PRICING

Battle for acres moving to fall Buying patterns change | South America a factor BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

The world’s crop markets are far more dynamic than they were just a decade ago, and farmers are helping make that happen, says a leading American grain market analyst. The advent of massive South American soybean exports and betterplanned North American production by farmers means pricing for the next crop year begins much earlier than in the past. “That market has to do it every six months,” said Elaine Kub, author of the book Mastering the Grain Markets, about the corn and soybean markets. For decades, the battle for acres in North America took place in spring as anxious buyers scrambled in late winter and into spring to buy up new crop supplies, raising prices for crops the market was most worried about. However, the battle for acres in corn and soybeans, which sets the price trends for wheat, feedgrains and oil crops such as canola, has partially moved to the fall, which is when the South American seeding season is starting. Buyers who are worried about world supplies of certain crops after the North American harvest will chase the coming South American crops, creating a secondary battle for

acres six months before the North American harvest. Today’s corn and soybean futures prices combine the underlying worries of commercial users about low North American supplies after the U.S. drought with their desire for South American farmers to plant more crops. North American farmers may also be encouraging the pricing in of nextcrop-year supply concerns because many of them don’t wait until the spring to make their seeding decisions. Instead, they contract for seed in the fall and won’t grow a crop if they can’t find a variety they like. As well, many prepare their fields and buy their fertilizer in the fall. American farmers are also making acreage decisions earlier this year because seed companies are short of North American grown seed after two years of drought and need to grow supplies in South America over the winter to meet their demands. “Many seed companies want farmers to commit before winter so they know how many acres they need.” While the drought impact might be transient, Kub thinks the addition of a second “battle for acres” will likely be permanent. “Since they’re increasingly a part of the world market, especially for soybeans, the market has to do it every six months,” said Kub.

MUSTARD PROCESSOR | FERTILIZERS, BIOPESTICIDES

Mustard firm seeks capital Demand for MPT’s products expected to increase BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A Saskatoon company that manufactures pesticides and fertilizers from mustard seed will soon be seeking more capital to expand its business. MPT Mustard Products and Technologies thinks enough demand is developing for its products to justify doubling production at its new 12,000 sq. foot commercial-scale manufacturing facility. The plant produces five tonnes of fertilizers and biopesticides a day, and the goal is to increase production to 10 tonnes per day “pretty quickly,” said chief operating officer Jay Robinson. A significant marketing opportunity has emerged for the company in Canada, where it recently received regulatory approval for its MustGro Crop biofumigant on a variety of berries. Robinson said the timing couldn’t be better because Dow AgroSciences recently discontinued the use of Telone in Canada. “For us, that was excellent because (growers) don’t really have any other option,” he said. Telone was a popular fumigant used in the fruit and vegetable industry. It took over from methyl bromide, a preplant soil fumigant that was banned

from use in Canada in 2005 for depleting the ozone layer. Robinson said MPT should have a national distributor for MustGro Crop within the next six weeks to start booking spring orders. The company also planned to launch its MustGro Invest biopesticide for turf and ornamentals in Florida Sept. 23. Those two developments are expected to double demand for MPT’s products, which are primarily sold i n Ca l i f o r n i a, Fl o r i d a, B r i t i s h Columbia, Ontario and Quebec. MPT intends to raise $1.5 to $2 million in equity in October or November to fund the increased production and marketing activity. Money will also be spent finalizing the development of a new technology. The company will use 4,000 tonnes of mustard seed a year once production increases to 10 tonnes per day. Canadian farmers are expected to produce 138,000 tonnes of the oilseed in 2012, about 26,000 tonnes of which will be used domestically. MPT is buying its mustard on the spot market, but it hopes to forward contract next year’s needs with a major supplier, such as Viterra. The eventual goal is to contract directly with growers, but the company doesn’t have the ability to do that yet. MPT’s technology allows it to process lower grades of mustard that could otherwise be difficult to sell.

WHEAT | OLD VARIETIES PRESERVED

Growers preserve the past in loaves of bread Red Fife, Marquis varieties | Organic growers face a variety of challenges in bringing their old variety grain to market BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

STRATHMORE, Alta. — An early summer hailstorm beat the daylights out of the wheat crop at the Heritage Harvest farm, but the three owners persisted. Their crops of heritage wheat such as Red Fife and Marquis fetch too high a premium in the organic market to abandon. Mark Gibreau, Henry Winnicki and Ray Lefebvre of Strathmore have been growing old varieties as certified organic grain since 2005. Last year, they imported a stone mill from Denmark so they can grind and package their grain on the farm and sell it to farmers’ markets and organic grocers in Calgary. The on-farm mill and packaging area has Canadian Food Inspection Agency approval. The venture started with six pounds of seed left over from a heritage wheat project when the Saskatchewan seed bank released seed more than 20 years ago. There was little interest among farmers to revive the grains, which are parent lines for many of today’s modern varieties. “Most people were doing it as a hobby on a really small scale,” Gibreau told visitors to the farm. They planted about 10 acres in 2005 and continued to multiply the seed because there is little available. They grew 200 acres last year and may have about 100 acres this year. They also grow Marquis, a descendent of Red Fife. Red Fife was introduced to Western Canada in 1870 and spurred on wheat production in Manitoba. However, it was a late maturing crop and susceptible to lodging and stem rust. Gibreau admits these varieties are finicky to grow. They are seeded later and special attention must be paid to weed control and staving off rust. The stand is not as even as modern varieties. “This crop, with its genealogy, seems to work well in this particular location,” he said. There are other agronomic challenges with an old variety that is also grown under organic conditions. In 2010 an early frost downgraded the crop and it was sold as feed. This year a July 4 hailstorm knocked out about 60 percent of the crop. Yields are also lower. For example, Marquis gives them about 38 to 40 bushels per acre. At one time that would have been considered a successful crop but compared to modern varieties it is not competitive. The grain is planted with a modified air seeder so it is broadcast rather than placed in rows. This provides a carpet-like plant canopy so the wheat can outcompete the weeds. In the spring, they use a tine weeder

Mark Gibreau, a partner with Heritage Harvest farm near Strathmore, Alta., checks a field of Red Fife wheat. | to control unwanted plants during the early growth stages so the wheat can grow ahead of weeds such as thistle and pigweed. A Noble blade aerates the soil without tumbling it because there are erosion problems in this area east of Calgary. As well, minimum till practices build fertility. “We get smarter every year and just carry on,” Gibreau said. However, they would like to see more research on organic farming because much of what they know has been gained from experience. For instance, they have found compost tea adds fertility to the soil and helps break down straw after harvest. They buy the compost and then mixed it on the farm with starch, sugar and water to make the tea. The starch and sugar feed the microbes in the compost. It sits in a tank for several days and is then sprayed. They also use certified organic bone and blood meal, which was developed for golf courses. Marketing the grain and flour has never been a problem. Sold as a whole grain flour, the bread made from Red Fife has a nutty flavour and contains 12.7 to 13.5 percent protein. The bread can be heavier than normal so some bakers add gluten or regular white flour to give the bread extra body.

U.S. DROUGHT | HARVEST

Pockets of success dot rain-starved northern U.S. Timing was right | Some fields got enough rain to save the crop from total disaster BY RANDY FIEDLER FREELANCE WRITER

What a difference a few miles can make. Proximity to the border meant some American farmers benefitted from the rain produced by storms that came down from Canada. The drought spared Carl Hoverson’s Larimore, North Dakota, operation where he grows 5,000 acres of potatoes destined for the J.R. Simplot french fry plant in nearby Grand Forks. “We got enough rain when we needed it, enough to yield a good crop. Twenty miles south of here it starts to get bad.” After months of scorching heat and little rain, Hoverson’s success is cold comfort to producer Joey Bauer of Erskine, Minn. “We got three inches of rain the third week of July and that saved the (soybean) crop. Between then and April 1 we only got 2.9 inches of rain.” Located on the fringes of the U.S. Great Plains, where the state’s famed

lake-studded woods begin, Bauer’s soybeans grew in deep soil able to hold what little water came its way. In eastern Montana, irrigated crops fared well, but some dryland fields yielded so little many producers decided that it wasn’t worth investing the fuel to harvest. Fierce western winds have also taken a toll, bringing with them smoke from forest fires raging in the state’s southwestern mountains. Like their midwestern colleagues, the drought hurt corn the most. From Montana through Minnesota, the browned sparse plants struggled to produce single cobs, if they produced any at all. “My corn was done weeks ago,” he said. “The hilly land farther south it’s in has sandy soil that couldn’t hold any moisture — even if we’d had some.” With his soy harvest well underway, Bauer now worries about the winter to come. “We need snow cover. If we don’t get any, there’ll be no point in putting in a crop next year.”

Blogging: education or advertising? Whether they call themselves influencers, product reviewers or journalists, a University of Regina journalism professor says most bloggers create online content that is basically advertising. “I think this is one of the new perils of cyberspace: the stealth advertising that lurks online but is not labelled as advertising,” said Mitch Diamantopoulos, head of the school of journalism at the U of R. “It’s not just the problem of mommy bloggers,” he said. “There’s also the whole question of who are these people and whose interest do they represent. I think it’s a really serious issue.” Many bloggers, including mom bloggers, disclose on their website that they do accept sponsorship and other forms of compensation, such as free trips, for reviewing a particular product. Regardless, most readers don’t look at disclosure statements and many internet users switch off their critical thinking skills when they turn on the computer, Diamantopoulos said. “I think we often go online as lambs to the slaughter, expecting everything has been proofed and has been checked. Of course, it hasn’t,” he said. “I think there is a big gap there, in preparing people to read between the lines, to check who are the sources or sponsors (behind a website). Sometimes there are very careful efforts to conceal the sponsors.” Diamantopoulos said the larger issue is the corruption and devolution of the internet. The worldwide web was once a democratic domain for sharing information, but now it seems like corporate and political interests are trying to control social media. “Sponsored bloggers are putting all kinds of promotional messages out there that are masquerading as neutral information. It’s not neutral information,” he said. “Commercial interests are turning something, which a lot of us hoped would be a democratic forum for free speech, and turning it into kind of a shopping mall.”

Blogging moms: STORIES BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Even though she’s a successful entrepreneur in North Battleford, Sask., it’s still challenging for Tenille Lafontaine to answer the familiar small talk question — so, what do you do for a living? Lafontaine, who’s in her 30s, works fulltime as a mommy blogger. Most of the residents of North Battleford, and most Canadians, have never heard of such a job. Yet, over the last few years, hundreds of moms across Canada have learned it is possible to earn an income sharing stories and information with other moms. In fact, the phenomenon is now so widespread that Reader’s Digest published a list of Canada’s Top 10 Mommy Bloggers earlier this year. Lafontaine got her start in blogging about four years ago, after her first daughter was born. “I was doing the coupon thing and (watching) for sales and I was always e-mailing my friends to tell them about it,” said Lafontaine, who has an eight-year-old son and two daughters, aged four and one. “I found I was sending a lot of e-mails so I condensed it all into one spot and created a little blog.” Since her first posts on coupons and local deals in the late 2000s, Lafontaine’s “little blog” has evolved into a

thriving online brand. Lafontaine now has 15,000 Twitter followers in the United States and Canada and works with Fortune 500 companies, including Ford, Disney and General Mills, reviewing their products and services and relaying her opinions to fellow moms. Global brands such as Disney sponsor her blog because she has credibility with other moms, she said. “Mom bloggers are relatable. We’re not a paid celebrity endorsement. We’re not this out-of-reach, 5’ 7”, 120-pound celebrity that’s going to tell you how to feed your children…. We’re real. We’re the mom next door.” Maureen Dennis, a mom blogger in Toronto, agreed. She said moms do their own research before choosing to buy a particular food or product, but they primarily rely on information from other mothers. “Moms make their purchase choices mostly on word of mouth, or word of mom,” said Dennis, who runs the website weewelcome.ca and appears regularly on TV as a

parenting expert for the Marilyn Denis show. While most mommy blog posts are fairly innocuous, reviewing one-dish meals for families and providing information on kid’s clothing, last year Lafontaine and Dennis signed up for a more controversial corporate sponsorship. The two, along two other Canadian mommy bloggers, became All Access Moms for McDonald’s. They toured Cargill and McCain facilities in Canada to learn about the companies and the people who supply chicken, beef and potatoes to McDonald’s. For a mom from downtown Toronto such as Dennis, who has three kids and is pregnant with her fourth child, the glimpse into food production in Canada was an eye-opener. She was particularly intrigued to meet a potato grower in New Brunswick. “Their livelihood is de-

pendent on selling these potatoes to McDonald’s … so they’re not just out there spraying pesticides for the heck of it. It costs them a lot of money … and they wouldn’t have had any potatoes this year without it,” she said. “None of that do I ever think of, as I pull up through the drive-through racing off to soccer practice.” Lafontaine’s followers frequently comment on her blog posts, but she said her involvement with McDonald’s did provoke a negative reaction from some readers. For example, Lafontaine defended the use of growth hormones in cattle in her blog after All Access Moms visited Cargill’s meat processing plant in Spruce Grove, Alta., and a ranch in Alberta. Her comments were based on the tour. Some of her readers said her opinions were tainted because McDonald’s paid for the tour and the related television commercials that promoted the All Access Moms. However, Lafontaine insisted she had the freedom to post as she pleases. “With the McDonald’s program, my posts were never edited …. I was able to say exactly what I was thinking,” she said. “My purpose of doing it wasn’t to convince people … that they should eat at McDonald’s. My goal was to get in there and understand more about the country and understand more about Canadian agriculture.”

Dennis said corporations don’t control the content, even though they directly pay for her blog. “I only work on campaigns that give me the opportunity to share information in my voice,” she said. “That’s what my entire reputation is based on, that I’m sharing it (information) as a mom.” Nonetheless, there are mommy bloggers who take a different approach, Dennis said. Some companies and organizations set up arrangements in which mom bloggers are social media ambassadors who pass on corporate messages to their online followers. “Some (bloggers) are essentially paid to re-tweet what that association (or company) wants them to,” said Dennis, who described her job title as an influencer. “They don’t care what (moms) want to know…. It’s a one sided conversation, so that’s basically social media advertising.” However, Dennis said Canadian agri-food companies and producer groups need to give up control and form honest partnerships with mom bloggers if they want to connect with consumers. “Listening to the influencers and their communities is equally, if not more important, than worrying about getting your message out there,” she said. “I want to be given the opportunity, by those organizations, to ask my questions and represent moms, in order to share rel-

evant information.” For instance, she said her McDonald’s experience has made her more pragmatic about food production, which she has passed on to her online followers. “In theory, I want food without antibiotics or pesticides, but from the small amount of access I’ve had, I learned that we need some of that stuff,” she said. Lafontaine said the result isn’t always pretty when organizations give up control, but that’s the cost of honesty. “When I visited the Cargill chicken facility in London, Ont., … when the chickens were slaughtered, I was gagging loudly … but it was important for me to note that to my readers,” she said. “(But) the companies that care about … being real and being open to their customers, they’re going to want a mom blogger who is real and relates to their readers on a real level.”

FILE ILLUSTRATION

My wife is late for just about everything that we do together. I try to be patient when she is tardy, but often as not I will get edgy and push her to hurry. That usually ends up in an argument, which will of course take the fun out of whatever it was we were planning to do together. I would like to change all of this, as would my wife, but we are not sure where to start. What do you think?

All of us have been late occasionally. At times we have been guilty of being deliberately late. We use our clocks as subtle ways of letting the world know that we are not about to let anyone push us around. The problem is that sometimes we confuse those who are deliberately late with problems generated by people who are chronically late. I am sure that this has happened to you and your wife, that for any number of reasons you get personally offended when she is late. You do not need to get so upset. I doubt that your wife is one of those who deliberately tries to annoy or manipulate other people. Most chronic latecomers are not out to hurt anyone. They are too busy trying to please too many people to do anything properly. As you know, trying to do too much is a sure fire way for generating confusion, disorganization and interpersonal tensions. No wonder that you and your wife argue every now and then. Chronic lateness is likely the result of some form of personal anxiety. As with any anxiety, the starting point for change is to learn to take regular time-outs and just relax for a few moments. Turn off the television set, cellphones, and whatever loud music your adolescent kids are playing on their iPods. Anything other than soft soothing music is unacceptable. Time-outs are your wife’s opportunities to figure out what her priorities are. Chances are that she has been so busy pleasing other people that she has lost sight of what is important for her own well-being. She can still love and care for other people. She just needs to make sure that she keeps her own priorities in focus. The hard part for her is the next step: learning to say no. Saying no is hard but rewarding. She will be late less frequently and she will enjoy doing whatever it is she is doing more than she previously did.. As simple as all of this sounds, in fact it is a difficult prescription to follow. Your wife needs all of the positive support you can give her. She will have setbacks and disappointments throughout the process of changing and the last thing she needs from you is more criticism, which generates more anxiety. Be patient. The odds for success are much better if both of you are committed to helping her change.

How to remove stains and pains TEAM RESOURCES

Heat the pan until the water is boiling. Let it boil until most of the water has boiled away and then use a nylon egg turner to gently scrape at the burned spot. It should chip away. For a large burn, repeat until all of the charred food has been removed.

REMOVING DESSERTS FROM CAKE PAN

To easily remove cakes, desserts or cheesecake from a cake pan or spring-form pan, line the pan with parchment paper. For a spring-form pan, trace the size of the bottom on the parchment and cut out the circle. The parchment will allow you to slip the cake or dessert onto a serving plate.

ife seems to have moments when something happens and you just wish you knew how to fix the problem. An example is when one of our granddaughters decided to become a little artist on the living room microfiber couch with a pen. Her Mom was in a panic: what to do? With more luck than good management, she tried to wipe the ink with a moist baby wipe. To her relief and surprise, the ink disappeared. She has since discovered that moist baby wipes are handy for cleaning up more than sticky fingers and messes. Baby wipes have also been used to remove smudges and fingerprints from walls, stainless steel appliances, garbage cans and water spots from taps.

For a dish that still needs some cooking, another option is to add pieces of raw potato. Remove the potatoes once they have cooked and absorbed the salt. For a dish that has been over sweetened, add small amounts of salt until the flavour has been corrected. For a too sweet vegetable or main dish, cider vinegar can be added to correct the flavour.

Measure the distance around the knee and add an extra six inches to allow for overlapping the fabric and for the bulk of the ice packs. If the measurement is taken before the surgery, add two to three inches to allow for swelling. It is better to make the holder too large rather than too small.

Use chalk to mark both ends of the zipper on the edge of the fabric. Using a half inch (1 cm) seam allowance, stitch across one end and down the long side to the first mark for the zipper, back tack and then switch the stitch length to baste and sew the length of the zipper. Change back to the regular stitch length when the second zipper marking is reached, back tack again and finish stitching to the end of the side seam, leaving the end open. Spread the seam, open on the long side and centre the zipper face down in the basted seam, pin in place. Using a zipper foot, stitch through the zipper tape, seam allowance and one layer of the fabric, stitching down one side of the zipper across the bottom, up the other side and then across the top of the zipper. Using a seam ripper, open the basted part of the seam to expose the zipper. Turn the holder right side out and flatten so the zipper and seam form one side and the folded edge the other side. Cut two six inch (15 cm) lengths of the loop side of the Velcro tape From the open end, on the right side of the fabric, place the two lengths of loop tape parallel to each other, running the length of the fabric, about 1 1/2 inches (4 cm) from each side and from the open end edge. Pin in place and stitch all the way around the edge of the tape through only one thickness of the fabric. Turn the holder over. On the closed end of the holder (on the opposite side of the holder from the loop Velcro) centre the hook side of the Velcro across the end of the holder about half an inch (1 cm) from the end edge. Stitch through the Velcro and both

layers of the fabric to sew the Velcro into place. Open the zipper and turn the holder inside out. Stitch the last end closed and turn right side out. Through the zipper opening, insert two frozen ice packs, zipper closed, and then wrap around the knee, with the loop Velcro facing up. Press the hook Velcro into the loops to hold the ice packs in place. If the holder is too long, twist it a time or two between the ice packs to shorten. Remove the ice packs from the holder to refreeze, so the holder doesn’t get damp. Or for a more concentrated cold, once the stitches have been removed, wet the fabric, wring out and insert the ice packs. Use the same idea to make ice pack holders for shoulders, hips, ankles or wrists. Some ice packs can also be heated. Once hot, insert into the holder to hold into position.

ON THE FARM | CATTLE

Extended family shares duties on cattle farm Rebuilding herd | The farm takes precautions to prevent another outbreak of tuberculosis BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

ROSSBURN, Man. — Jeremy Pilkey stops suddenly and says softly, “there’s a nice little fox.” About 10 metres away, a reddish fox with a fluffy tail has come out of the trees and is sniffing along a line of brush on the edge of the Pilkey farmyard on this rolling and rugged land less than a kilometre from the edge of Riding Mountain National Park. Jeremy watches the fox move along and disappear back among the trees and then heads up to the house. This is an idyllic location to raise cattle. It’s so picturesque here that a lot of the land is being bought up by wealthy Winnipeggers for weekend homes and cottages, even though Winnipeg is a four-hour drive away. A few minutes later, Jeremy thinks about the good fortune that is allowing him and his wife, Kerry, to farm in the area. “I said to Kerry, the first time she brought me home to meet her folks, ‘we’re going to live in the Birdtail Valley some day.’ ” For Kerry, it’s a satisfying life of raising cattle, riding horses, and working closely with her parents, Ray and Susan Armbruster, who live in the next farmyard along the road. “The whole family’s here,” she said with a smile. But even though the Pilkeys feel fortunate to farm where they do, there’s always a spectre haunting their minds, and it’s not an unreasonable fear. The rough and beautiful land they love, and the wildlife they appreciate, harbours tuberculosis, and raising cattle beside Riding Mountain means living with the ever-present danger that an infected elk, deer or maybe even a wolf will infect their cattle. The disease is endemic in the elk of Riding Mountain, and in the winter the elk often come calling for baled hay and feed. The Armbrusters have already experienced the brutality of a tuberculosis outbreak. Their herd was exterminated in 1997 after an animal was found to have the disease. They returned to the cattle business but have moved their feed yard further away from the park boundary. As well, their hay is stacked behind 3.5 metre high game fences and their cattle spend the fall, winter and early spring behind game fences in a closely watched wintering area. Great Pyrenees dogs live with the cattle to ward off unwanted wild visitors. Unlike farmers elsewhere, this family can’t swath graze or bale graze. “We leave nothing on the fields to tempt the elk,” said Kerry. The Pilkeys have built up a cow

herd of 70 in the years they have been on this farm site, and the combined herd of the Pilkeys, the Armbrusters and Kerry’s brother, Philip, is more than 200 cows. It’s been gradual growth, and Jeremy hopes TB doesn’t intrude again. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency tests their cattle every two years, and each time screening tests show false positives. “You always get a few reactions (to the screening test),” said Jeremy. “They’ll draw blood on those cows, then you sit for a week and wait for the results. It’s not an easy week.” The Pilkeys met in Alberta when Jeremy left work as a welder and feedlot worker to work in a pregnant mares’ urine barn, where Kerry worked. “I wanted to work more with horses and less with welding,” said Jeremy. After another job on a farm working together, Kerry and Jeremy moved to Russell, Man., to work in another PMU operation. The PMU industry began to shrink around that time, but fortunately Kerry’s grandparents decided to move to town at the same time. “Grandpa called us and said: ‘do you guys want the farm? We’re moving to town.’ And that was it,” said Jeremy. Kerry and Jeremy often work offfarm as they build their commercial cow and Black Angus purebred herd. Kerry trained horses while Jeremy worked for five years during winters for a nearby feedlot. This summer Jeremy worked for a federal community pasture in Spy Hill, Sask., living a few days per week in Spy Hill and spending his weekends and occasional week nights home at the farm. Kerry has her hands full running the farm day-to-day, and both she and Jeremy look forward to the day when they can work on the farm full-time. That’s tough in the area these days because land is hard to get for herd expansion. Urban people are buying quarters for country homes and aren’t always interested in renting the farmland portions for haying. Wildlife organizations are also buying land at high prices. A quarter section recently sold for $125,000, which is a lot for hay and pasture land. “Young farmers like us can’t put enough cows on a quarter to make $125,000 pay,” said Jeremy. However, all members of the PilkeyArmbruster family can make the most of the limited land base by working closely with each other. All the cows are wintered together and the extended family shares chore duty. “Everyone’s out there cutting strings or whatever needs to be done,” said Jeremy. As well, they’re able to share night

Kerry and Jeremy aren’t attracted to cattle farming because it’s an easy way to make money. It isn’t. Instead, they love working with animals. As they take a visitor on a tour of their farm and out into a verdant pasture where a herd is resting through a warm September afternoon, the

cows, heifers and calves are relaxed and repeatedly approach Jeremy for a head scratch. “Some people would say we spend too much time with our cattle, but at the same time they’re quiet, they’re easy to handle,” said Jeremy. Kerry still has time to do horse jumping and Jeremy does a lot of ranch rodeo when he can. It’s a com-

LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT | UNEXPECTED ISSUES

Lawyers ask questions to ensure clients’ intentions clear, fulfil legal obligations A PRAIRIE PRACTICE

GAIL WARTMAN, B.A., J.D.

A marriage or common-law relationship may void previous wills

I’ve heard a lot about will kits, or even doing up a will online. Why would I go to a lawyer and pay many times as much for the same document?

A lawyer’s job is not simply to draft the will, but also to ask questions and provide advice. Wills often seem like simple affairs. Sometimes they are and sometimes they aren’t. There are many questions lawyers might ask to ensure all issues are looked after. Here are examples. Do you have grandchildren? Would you like anything to go to them if your child predeceases you?

Should it be held in trust until they reach a certain age? What if one of your children is going through a divorce when you die? Would you like us to do our best to make sure it goes only to your child, and not his spouse? Do you own your land in joint names with your spouse? Doing so could avoid probate fees if one of you died first. Is the land in joint names with a child who helps farm it? It may not automatically go to that child when you die even if that was your intention. There may be additional steps you need to take to make sure that happens. Do you have a farm corporation? There may be income tax advantages to setting up a spousal trust. It could mean thousands of dollars in savings to the surviving spouse, or maybe not. Have you discussed this with your accountant? How do you want to handle the shares of your farm corporation when you die? You can’t leave the land the company owns to anyone, only your shares in the company. Would you like the farm to stay with your farming child, but make sure that the other children also get their fair share?

Maybe we provide the farming child the chance to buy the farm outright from your estate, paying out your other children. Do you intend to leave your farm to children from a previous marriage? Did you know that you have a legal obligation to provide for your current spouse with a fair portion of the estate? If you’ve already discussed it with her and she agrees, maybe we can write an inter-spousal contract to make sure those intentions will be followed. Are you planning on getting married? Entering into marriage, or being in a common-law relationship for a period of time, voids any will you have, unless you specifically provide for that in the will. And these provisions vary depending on what province you live in. A skilled lawyer will help address these kinds of issues so your estate plan can reflect what you really want for your assets and beneficiaries.

MILK | RAW OR PASTEURIZED?

Using raw milk not advised HEALTH CLINIC

CLARE ROWSON, MD

There has been a lot of discussion recently about the benefits of drinking unpasteurized milk. What is your opinion on this? Do you think it is safe and healthy to drink raw milk? I grew up on a farm where we drank raw milk every day and did not get sick from it.

Pasteurization is the process in which milk and milk products such as cheese and yogurt are heated to 71.7 C for 15 to 20 seconds. The temperature and length of time var y from one countr y to another, but the milk must not be allowed to boil because that curdles the casein in the milk and alters its taste and texture. The process was named after Louis Pasteur, the French chemist and microbiologist who discovered the presence of bacteria and therefore the germ theory of diseases in the mid-19th century. Pasteurization is not the same as sterilization because it does not completely destroy all the bacteria in the milk and cheese. However, it lessens the numbers significantly. Some people believe raw milk has a natural resistance to bacteria and viruses and that pasteurization can

lead to lactose intolerance. This is not true. They also think that drinking raw milk will help cure asthma and other allergies. There is no evidence for this, either. Both pasteurized and raw milk can cause lactose intolerance and allergies. There is no negative impact on the nutritional value of the milk, including vitamins, casein and fat content, because the process does not involve boiling or high temperatures. The sale of raw milk directly to consumers has been prohibited in Canada under the Food and Drug Regulations since 1991. However, the sale of raw milk is allowed in 28 American states. As a result, more than 1,500 cases of illness and two deaths due to drinking unpasteurized milk and milk products were reported to the Centre for Disease Control between 1998 and 2006. Tuberculosis and brucellosis are not the concerns that they once were because dairy cows are now routinely tested at regular intervals. Children and people with weakened immune systems are the most vulnerable to illnesses. Raw milk may still be sold illegally in Canada on small farms, at farmers’ markets and health food stores and there is a vocal but small group of people who are lobbying to allow sales to be legalized. Health Canada has published a paper outlining the dangers of drinking raw milk at www.hc-sc.gc.ca/fnan/securit/kitchen-cuisine/rawmilk-lait-cru-eng.php.

Breeders pleased with drought hardy corn results

$1,000 SIGNING BONUS!

Improved varieties fared better than other hybrids (Reuters) — Corn seed developers who have been racing to build better varieties for low rainfall and high heat say results have been encouraging despite the worst U.S. drought in half a century. High temperatures coupled with historically dry conditions ravaged farm fields across the nation, with some of the most severe conditions gripping the top U.S. corn growing states in the Midwest and Plains states. In some of the driest growing areas, virtually all of the corn crops failed, drought-tolerant or not. Still, those companies rolling out corn designed specifically to grow well in drought have been reporting better-thanexpected results. “This is a really great year to validate that research work,” said Jeff Schussler, senior research manager in corn stress product development at Pioneer Hi-Bred International, a unit of DuPont and a top global corn seed producer. Duane Martin, Syngenta product lead for its version of a drought-hardy corn, echoed that assessment. “A percentage of our fields did not make an acceptable crop, but in most cases where water was enough to make a crop, we saw it out-perform those hybrids without the trait,” said Martin.

CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — The Farm Credit System says it will stand by its rural customers hurt by the worst drought in more than half a century. The system is the largest single lender to U.S. agriculture. AgFirst of Columbia, South Carolina, AgriBank in St. Paul, CoBank in Denver and Farm Credit Bank of Texas in Austin fund the FCS network of 82 financial associations in 50 states. The U.S. government-sponsored entity has more than $230 billion in assets and accounts for 40 percent of U.S. agricultural loans. “The system’s role is to stand by its customers, in good times and bad, and it will continue to fulfill that need in a safe and sound manner,” the presidents of the four regional banks wrote in a letter. “That includes working collaboratively with borrowers who are experiencing distress related to the drought on a case-by-case basis.” Ranchers, cattle feeders and dairy, hog and poultry producers will be hit hardest because feed costs have nearly doubled. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has estimated that the U.S. corn crop will be the lowest in six years and soybeans will be the lowest in nine years because of drought losses. Grain co-operatives will also be hurt by lower revenues for storing, drying and blending grain, FCS said. “Despite these myriad challenges, we believe that financial conditions for American agriculture are far better than they were in 1988, the last time the nation experienced a drought of similar magnitude,” FCS said.

CANADIAN NATIONAL RAILWAY | FLEET EXPANSION

CWB CHANGES | SUPREME COURT APPLICATION

CN to expand fleet to meet energy, ag sector demands

Former CWB directors try top court

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Canadian National Railway says its plan to add more than 550 hopper cars should boost efficiencies in grain movement. The hopper car additions are part of a larger rolling stock acquisition strategy that will see CN add more than 2,200 new freight cars to its fleet in 2012 as well as 1,300 new containers for grocery and consumer goods. “CN is acquiring new freight cars and containers for a range of markets, including forest products, metals, minerals, coal, iron ore, steel, consumer goods, finished vehicles and grain,” said Jean-Jacques Ruest, CN’s executive vice-president and chief marketing officer. CN will also add 317 multi-level cars to transport finished automobiles, 232 ore cars for pelletized iron ore, 200 multi-purpose box cars, 300 gondolas for coal exports and 600 premium double-door box cars for forest products and metals. The fleet expansion comes at a time when demand for rail service from the coal, oil and potash industries is showing signs of significant growth. According to Statistics Canada, monthly rail car loadings of fuel oil and crude petroleum doubled

between June 2011 and June 2012 from 4,549 cars to 9,128. Non-intermodal traffic of all types rose 4.2 percent over the same period, with coal, fuel oil, crude petroleum, iron ore and concentrates accounting for the largest increases in tonnage. CN also announced this month that it will spend $12 million to expand a locomotive service centre in Prince George, B.C. The Prince George facility services CN locomotives as they move freight between Edmonton and port facilities in Prince Rupert, B.C. CN investments in rail infrastructure in the Edmonton-Prince Rupert corridor have exceeded $150 million in the past eight years, company officials said. Rail traffic destined for Prince Rupert has increased steadily. In 2011, the port’s terminal operators handled 19.3 million tonnes of material, up from 16.4 million tonnes in 2010 and 12.2 million tonnes in 2009. Between 2009 and 2010, annual exports of coal, coke and wood pellets at the Prince Rupert’ port’s Ridley Terminal nearly doubled, from 4.16 million tonnes in 2009 to 8.3 million tonnes the following year. Prince Rupert is also the proposed site of a Canpotex potash terminal that could open as early as 2017.

The former directors must show their case is of national significance BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The lawyer representing eight former CWB directors says his clients will likely know within six months if the Supreme Court of Canada will hear their case. “And I would expect that if leave were granted by, say, Jan. 15 of next year, that we would almost certainly have had our full hearing on the merits (of the case) within a year of that,” said Winnipeg lawyer Anders Bruun. The farmer-elected directors lost their positions late last year after the federal government rewrote CWB legislation. They announced last week that they would seek to have their arguments heard by the country’s top court. The former directors say the federal government acted illegally when it passed legislation aimed at e n d i n g t h e C W B’s m a r k e t i n g monopoly for wheat and barley grown in Western Canada. They argue that Ottawa should have honoured provisions in the former Canadian Wheat Board Act before ending the CWB monopoly. Those provisions required Ottawa to hold a farmer vote before stripping the board of its single desk marketing authority.

Alternately, Ottawa should have amended the CWB Act before introducing new legislation aimed at ending the CWB’s single desk mandate. “We believe that this case raises issues that are important to all Canadians and is worthy of careful consideration by the Supreme Court of Canada,” said former CWB chair Allen Oberg. “This case is bigger than farm policy and has important implications for all Canadians,” added Stewart Wells, another former director involved in the application. “It raises fundamental questions about whether government is above the law.” Applicants who seek to have their cases heard at the Supreme Court level must first outline their arguments on paper and then apply to the court to have their cases heard. Applicants must demonstrate that their case involves a significant question of law and that the legal issue at question is of national significance. Bruun said his clients do not question whether Ottawa had the authority to end the CWB’s single desk powers but whether the federal government followed procedure. The former directors contend that federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz ignored existing laws and disregarded an earlier Federal Court

decision that questioned the legality of Ottawa’s efforts to end the CWB monopoly. The Supreme Court application is the latest legal volley in an ongoing battle between supporters of single desk marketing and the federal government. Last year, Ritz introduced Bill C-18, which proposed the elimination of the CWB’s single desk marketing mandate over wheat and barley. Shortly after that, the Federal Court of Canada ruled that the minister failed to comply with provisions in the CWB Act, which stipulated that farmers must be consulted before any legislative changes affecting the wheat board’s marketing mandate are introduced. Ottawa successfully appealed that ruling at the Federal Court of Appeal. Bill Gehl, a single desk supporter who chairs another pro-board group, the Canadian Wheat Board Alliance, said the decision to take the case to the Supreme Court will not affect any other CWB-related court actions that are underway. Gehl did not say how much a Supreme Court hearing would cost but suggested that much of the legal work supporting a Supreme Court hearing has already taken place. Because of that, any additional costs associated with arguing the case will be relatively small, he said.

CROP REPORT ALL CONDITIONS AS OF SEPT. 21

MANITOBA

Rainfall ranged from trace amounts for the majority to 31 millimetres in the northwest.

SOUTHWEST Canola harvest is complete with most fields producing 25 to 30 bushels per acre. Quality is also below average. Small seed size has resulted in dockage. Frost hit most of the region in mid-September, which should help dry down the sunflower crop. Producers are desiccating sunflowers, but harvest won’t begin until the final days of September. CENTRAL Potato harvest is progressing with yields reported from 300 to 400 hundredweight per acre, well above the provincial average of 280 cwt. per acre. The edible bean harvest is almost complete. Yields have been good. Pintos have averaged 2,000 pounds per acre and blacks averaged 1,800 lb. per acre. Corn harvest is well underway. Producers are reporting yields of 70 to 120 bu. per acre.

SOUTH Warm, dry weather has assisted harvest, although moisture conditions continue to worsen. There have been high temperatures and lack of rain over the past few months, particularly in the southwestern region. In the past week, topsoil moisture conditions on cropland have dropped from 10 percent adequate to eight percent. Crop yields vary, ranging from above average to poor. Particularly in the southeast, excess moisture at seeding time,

heat stress, disease and wind damage have affected yield. Average yields have improved in recent weeks. Strong winds in the southeast continue to damage crops and blow swaths across fields. A morning frost has damaged some later seeded crops. Many southwest producers who usually seed winter wheat may not this year due to lack of moisture and germination concerns. CENTRAL Producers across the region are almost three quarters finished harvest, while some areas received varying amounts of rain. Harvest

is behind schedule in west-central areas due to delayed maturity and lodged crops. Cropland topsoil continues to dry and averages about 65 percent adequate. The yields are variable and range from below average to average. Yields continue to disappoint as disease, hail and strong winds have damaged crops Some fields will need additional herbicide applications to help clean them up before winter. Fusarium has downgraded many wheat samples at the elevator. Many producers are waiting for moisture before seeding or fertilizing winter cereals. Most producers have indicated harvest will be done in the next

NORTHWEST Harvest is mostly finished, except for minor crops such as hemp, field beans and grain corn. Spring wheat yields averaged 45 bu. per acre, above Manitoba’s 10 year average of 43 bu. per acre. Barley yields have averaged 50 bu. per acre. Yields have been lower than other parts of the province, where producers are reporting barley yields of 60 to 70 bu. per acre. EASTERN Soybean harvest is progressing swiftly. Yields have ranged from 25 to 45 bu. per acre, with an average of 35 bu. per acre. Seed quality is good. Pasture remains poor to very poor across the region because of a lack of moisture. Winter hay supplies are rated as 25 to 65 percent of adequate. Many producers have dug wells or expanded dugouts to provide water for their livestock. INTERLAKE Flax harvest is nearing completion. Most growers have reported yields of 15 to 20 bu. per acre. Yields were restricted by hot weather in July. Rain is needed to aid germination of the winter wheat crop. Southern portions of the region remain extremely dry. Livestock producers are pumping water to replenish dugouts.

SASKATCHEWAN Throughout the province, harvest is 75 percent complete, 20 percent higher for this time of year compared to the five-year average. A further 20 percent is swathed or ready to combine. The southwest leads the province with 93 percent combined, while the northwest has the lowest with 45 percent combined. Province-wide, 67 percent of spring wheat, 85 percent of durum, 71 percent of barley, 74 percent of canola, 85 percent of mustard, 27 percent of flax, 92 percent of lentils and 98 percent of field peas have been combined.

ALBERTA PEACE Harvest is 90 to 95 percent complete in the area. Hard red spring wheat averaged

55 bu. per acre near Dawson Creek, while Canada prairie spring wheat averaged 70 bu. per acre. Canola averaged 25 bushels per acre because of dry weather conditions and untimely rain. Harvest is 95 percent complete near Rycroft because of ideal harvest weather. About 80 percent of

the wheat will yield No. 1. Hard red spring averaged 50 to 60 bu. per acre. Canola is grading almost all No. 1 and yielding 20 to 35 bu. per acre. Barley yields are 60 to 65 bu. per acre with many crops able to be sold for malt. Oats yielded 90 to 110 bu. per acre with some light crops.

About 75 percent of the harvest is completed, with mostly canola left to combine. Conditions during harvest were almost too dry, sucking moisture out of the seed. Yields were a little disappointing. Crops looked like they were going to be bumper in mid-summer, but yields were disappointing once harvest began. Canola averaged 40 bu. per acre and graded mostly No. 1 with some No. 2. Wheat yields were close to average with most yielding 50 to 55 bu. per acre. However, they graded No. 2 and 3

because of bleaching and mildew. Proteins levels were higher than average. CPS wheat averaged 75 bu. per acre and graded No. 1 and 2. Some barley was harvested, but yield and weight were disappointing. It seems the barley didn’t cope well with the early moisture and midseason heat. Moisture conditions vary throughout the region but are generally good. Weed growth was apparent underneath the canopy once the crops were harvested, and the weeds are still growing. Crop yields were generally good, but not as good as anticipated. NORTHEAST About 80 percent of harvest is complete. Hail damaged thousands of acres of crops, making harvest difficult. Wheat yields are 50 to 55 bu. per acre, with some fields as low as 35 bu. per acre because of hail and disease. Wheat is grading mostly No. 2, but there is some No. 3 and feed as well. Wheat is being downgraded because of mildew, ergot, bleaching and fusarium. Heavy rain in late July and early August downgraded what was originally thought to be a bumper crop to an average crop. Canola yields vary greatly from 25 to 45 bu. per acre. Canola is grading No. 1, but there is also some No. 2 and 3 because of green seeds and sclerotinia. Soil moisture is generally good and some post harvest weed spraying is underway to get a handle on the flush of weeds in the field. CENTRAL

The smile says everything. InVigor® growers are just like any other grower. They believe in community, they love their families, and they work hard to ensure there’s food on everyone’s table. The big difference is how InVigor growers feel about their crop. But since they have trouble putting it into words, you’ll have to take it at face value. Nothing outperforms InVigor.

Harvest is 85 percent done, with a few fields of canola left. Most grain is grading No. 1. Traces of ergot are showing up in wheat crops. Overall yields are down from previous years and not what farmers had hoped for earlier in the season when stands looked like they were going to produce bumper crops. Canola is averaging 25 to 35 bu. per acre, wheat is yielding 50 to 60 bu. per acre and barley is yielding 75 to 80 bu. per acre. Some of the cereal crops are weighing lighter than hoped, but the majority has good bushel weights. Hot weather and disease took their toll on most crops. Aster yellows and sclerotinia stole a lot of yield from canola stands. Soil is starting to become dry and farmers are hoping for rain before applying anhydrous or spraying weeds. SOUTH Harvest is 90 percent complete in most areas of the south with yields average for the region. Many wheat crops have been downgraded to No. 2 because of ergot and fusarium. Wheat yields averaged 30 to 80 bu., depending on dryland or irrigation. Barley yields are generally down compared to previous years, and yields averaged 30 to 50 bu. depending on dryland or irrigation. Aster yellows took a toll on canola yields. What were thought to be 50 bu. per acre swaths yielded 30 bu. per acre. High moisture conditions early in the season and hot weather in the summer hurt yields more than anticipated. Peas tended to yield well and came off in good condition. Winter wheat is out of the ground. Corn harvest continues with generally light bushel weights. The sugar beet harvest has begun, but will get fully underway by Oct. 1.

GMO | SEED BAN

France maintains GMO seed ban PARIS, France (Reuters) — France is to maintain a temporary ban on the cultivation of genetically modified crops, prime minister Jean-Marc Ayrault announced earlier this month. The move deals a blow to farmers and seed companies who say the move is unjustified and economically harmful. The ban, which targets Monsanto’s MON810 corn, which is the only genetically modified organism allowed in Europe, was introduced in March after a previous moratorium was annulled by France’s top court in November. “The government is keeping its moratorium on the cultivation of GMO seeds currently authorized in the European Union,” Ayrault said. As Europe’s largest crop grower, France is under pressure to soften its stance on GM crops, particularly after experts found this year there was no evidence justifying a ban. French and European farmers have voiced fears the restrictions could make them fall behind in the competitive world grain market, and the EU said in May it was considering ordering the government to lift its moratorium. However, in a country that is fiercely protective of its agriculture, regarding it as part of its national identity, the government faces strong public resistance to GM crops and the use of chemicals in farming. Earlier this year, a French court found Monsanto guilty of chemical poisoning after a farmer from the southeastern city of Lyon claimed he had suffered neurological problems caused by inhaling one of the company’s herbicides. Underscoring the sentiment, Ayrault said the government also intended to ban aerial spraying except in cases where there was no viable alternative. The move was part of a broader plan to reduce the use of chemicals in farming, the prime minister said. Ayrault made his comments at a two-day conference that brought together non governmental organizations, MPs, industries and consumers. It is set to become an annual event as part of president Francois Hollande’s plan to put the environment back at the top of the international agenda. Hollande set out an ambitious agenda while opening the debate, calling for deeper cuts in EU carbon dioxide emissions and reiterating his pledge to cut the share of nuclear power in France’s energy mix to 50 percent by 2025 from 75 percent at present. New tenders for solar energy will be launched before the end of the year, and Ayrault said tenders would also be launched for two off-shore wind farms, one off France’s Atlantic coast near the island of Noirmoutier and another in the English Channel, off the coast of Treport in Normandy.

GRAIN MARKETS | PRICE CONTROLS

G20 meets to discuss food security Fears rising of food shortages | European countries call emergency meeting to discuss how to curb price swings to prevent market imbalances

PARIS, France (Reuters) — France has called an emergency meeting of G20 farm ministers for mid-October to discuss curbing price swings on grain markets. The announcement follows a year of drought and record prices that have renewed fears of a crisis in food supplies. France currently presides over a grains body created last year under the Group of 20 major economies, and it has made several proposals recently, including the development of strategic stocks and a halt

in the expansion of biofuel that uses food crops. Paris said it was calling a meeting of a Rapid Response Forum under the G20 agriculture body, AMIS, on the United Nations World Food Day, Oct. 16. It issued the statement after talks between French president Francois Hollande and Jose Graziano da Silva, director general of the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization. The forum would follow a scheduled AMIS meeting earlier in October, at which officials from G20 coun-

tries would discuss measures to curb supply and demand imbalances in agricultural markets. The worst drought in more than 50 years in the United States has sent corn and soybean prices to record highs and, coupled with drought in Russia and other Black Sea exporting countries, has raised fears of a global food crisis like the one that led to rioting in poor countries in 2008. The G20’s AMIS structure does not have clear scope for action and has mainly been conceived as a co-ordination body to prevent knee-jerk policy moves such as export bans by individual countries that have been blamed for worsening price swings in grain markets. France chairs AMIS until the start of October, when the United States assumes the rotating presidency. Da Silva supported France’s push for strategic agricultural stocks, an idea that Hollande has revived after French officials floated it to G20 countries last year. “The FAO fully supports this initiative,” he said after meeting Hollande, saying countries could not act alone in creating food security.

It’s impossible to have food security in one country. We need food security for all. And that’s the meaning of these strategic stocks. JOSE GRAZIANO DA SILVA FOOD AND AGRICULTURE ORGANIZATION

Unsung hero. Respected not praised, they believe in the team’s success over their personal fame. With their versatility and unique set of tools, the unsung hero is a consistent performer who rises to any challenge. Backing every number one yielding InVigor® hybrid canola since 1996, Liberty® herbicide knows exactly what it’s like to play that role.

“We know from our previous experience that it’s impossible to have food security in one country. We need food security for all. And that’s the meaning of these strategic stocks.” Da Silva said current high prices would lead countries to raise production, echoing comments he made recently when he said there was no need to panic about global prices. “We are looking for the future to see, at the beginning of next year, a very good harvest,” he said. The prospect of improving supply would provide a good opportunity to develop strategic reserves, he added. France has not specified how and where it would develop such food stockpiles, and in what way they would differ from an existing G20 proposal to have emergency humanitarian reserves. Analysts have been skeptical about the idea of reserves on a global scale because they are costly, particularly because grain has a shorter storage life than commodities such as oil. French agriculture minister Stephaney Le Foll said a priority would be increasing transparency on existing stocks to remove a source of speculation. As part of its call to rein in volatility in food commodities, France has also proposed a halt in the expansion of biofuel that uses staple crops like corn. This has dovetailed with calls from the FAO for a pause in biofuel development and a revised European Union proposal to limit the share of crop-based biofuel in the bloc’s renewable energy targets.

Students learn about life through human library Personal stories | Volunteers share their experiences with campus students BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

Ever wonder what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like to have only half a brain, what it was like to be a Canadian in Afghanistan on Sept. 11, 2001, or to be gay in small town Alberta. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all stories told by what the University of Calgaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Augustana campus calls human books. Staff, students and the public were recently able to borrow these human books, which means they were able to sit down and have conversations with people who agreed to offer themselves as human books. Their stories represent common prejudices and stereotypes, said head librarian Nancy Goebel. The goal of the Augustana Human Library is to help break down stereotypes and prejudices by listening to a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personal story, said Goebel, who has organized eight human library book events at the university. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a safe place to ask questions.â&#x20AC;?

Ryan Burlingame of Whitehorse checked out Augustana professor Les Parsons, whose book title was The Greatest Risk in Life is to Not Risk at All. The Augustana student wanted to know how to develop a healthy attitude to risk in life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Knowing risk is key to developing as a person,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way more interesting to talk rather than read about it.â&#x20AC;? Maya Zimmermann had never checked out a human book before and wanted to learn a little more about Parsons, her cross-country ski instructor.

Unlike other Human Library Book projects, where readers talk to their books one at a time, at Augustana, the book is often shared by a group of readers to help readers ask the questions of their book. Parsons said he is often accused of taking too many risks in his travels in third world countries. For Parsons, these trips are an â&#x20AC;&#x153;educational opportunityâ&#x20AC;? that more people should take. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to try different things. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to follow the path of least resistance,â&#x20AC;? said Parsons, who challenged readers to take calculated risks or do something different occasionally. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the third time Jason Peterson has volunteered to be a human book to let people know there is life after a brain tumor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m interested in the human book

Peterson discovered five years ago he had a brain tumor that had been slowly growing since he was two. Doctors discovered the tumor, about the size of a fist, when he collapsed on a street in Edmonton. About 60 percent of the tumor was removed through surgery and Peterson has lived a relatively normal life since then, although he said he can hear his brain â&#x20AC;&#x153;sloshingâ&#x20AC;? in the vacant space left by the tumor.

In the middle of the prairies, in the land of cattle and pigs, one lone U of S researcher is studying fish. “I was doing poultry nutritional research when, around 1999, the university took over an aquaculture research unit that had no researchers. I inherited it,” explained Murray Drew, a professor in the College of Agriculture and Bioresources. “Aquaculture nutrition research is still in its infancy, so any questions you ask probably haven’t been answered yet.” The questions that Drew is working on revolve around replacing fishmeal and fish oil in aquaculture diets. “There is only so much fishmeal in the world and we have reached the point that there is no longer enough to go around.” So Drew, with his background in poultry nutrition, looked to the fields of Saskatchewan to find alternate food sources with which to make fishmeal. The problem is that trout and salmon are carnivores and do not readily accept plant ingredients in their diets. Drew compares feeding plant proteins to carnivorous fish to “feeding a vegetarian diet to a cat. It just doesn’t work well.” He began looking at how to process certain crops in order to maximize their protein and omega-3 fatty acid content, the two most important components of fishmeal. “People eat fish for health and flavour, so we need to maintain those qualities in fish produced in aquaculture. “We have looked at four main crops that are abundant in Saskatchewan: peas, flax, canola and camelina. We evaluate the feed ingredients and we model their use to predict how well they will work.” Peas and canola protein concentrates show a lot of promise with protein contents of 50 and 60 per cent respectively, he explained. “Those levels make them competitive ingredients for fishmeal and several companies have begun manufacturing these products but there’s still lots of work that needs to be done to develop and commercialize them.” In terms of omega-3 fatty acids, the canola, camelina and flax oils show the most promise as fish oil replacements. Fishmeal prices have quadrupled in the last 10 years and because of the level of growth experienced in the aquaculture industry—about eight per cent per year compared to two per cent per year for poultry—those prices are expected to stay strong. “Aquaculture is a lucrative market that can support the development of value-added crop processing in Saskatchewan,” Drew said. “Close to half of the farmland in Canada is in Saskatchewan and because of Saskatchewan’s large production of high quality proteins and oils, we have an opportunity to make a substantial impact in aquaculture. Last year, aquaculture produced 30 million tonnes of fish globally. In Canada alone, aquaculture is expected to be worth $6.6 billion in 2015. Those fish need to eat and I want to help feed them.” www.agbio.usask.ca

CROP BREEDING | CANOLA

Varieties not to blame for poor yields: breeder BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

A breeder with DuPont Pioneer says modern hybrids actually preserved yields in Western Canada this year. The claim comes in the wake of criticisms from growers about the hardiness of canola varieties. In late August, Manitoba Canola Growers Association president Ed Rempel said the crop industry needs to develop robust canola varieties that can withstand heat, drought and disease. For too long, breeders have focused on yield gains and that obsession has produced varieties that are yield â&#x20AC;&#x153;prima donnas,â&#x20AC;? Rempel said. Dave Charne, research director of crop product development for DuPont Pioneer, said he understands growersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; frustration, but he said modern varieties are much hardier than previous generations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hybrids have really changed the stress tolerance of canola as a crop. The crop today is very different from what it was 15 to 20 years ago,â&#x20AC;? Charne told a mid-September tour of DuPont Pioneerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s research centre in Carman, Man. Ca n o l a p ro d u c e r s w h o w e re expecting yields of 50 bushels per acre this year have instead reported yields of 25 bu. per acre or less.

Grower frustration with yields isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t surprising, but that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean varieties are responsible, Charne said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As the stakes go up, the expectations go up,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Growers are putting more into the crop today and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re expecting to get more out.â&#x20AC;? Unfortunately, extreme heat during bloom, sclerotinia, aster yellows, blackleg, lygus bugs and bertha armyworms put a cap on yield potential this year, Charne said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you get three or four of those things impacting you at once, and you get 20 bu. when your five year average has been 40, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not happy,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Overall, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see canola as being a fussy crop or a high management cropâ&#x20AC;Ś. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s look back 15, 20 years at canola. (It) once was a very fussy cropâ&#x20AC;Ś. In the pre-herbicide tolerance days, weed control really limited what you could do with canola in the rotation and how much you could grow.â&#x20AC;? However, he said canola performs best under certain conditions. When growers â&#x20AC;&#x153;push the envelope on those conditions,â&#x20AC;? it can be a risky crop to produce. Charne said producers are tightening rotations and growing the oilseed on regions of the Prairies that arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ideally suited for canola production.

MIDDLE EAST | AGRICULTURAL ECONOMY

Palestinian farms wither in tough political climate Israeli occupation ‘devastating’ | Israel controls the water available to Palestinians, resulting in poor yields and low quality crops BEIT UMMAR, West Bank (Reuters) — Once a mainstay of the local economy, Palestinian agriculture in the rocky West Bank is in decline as farmers struggle to protect their livelihoods and their land. Deprived of water and cut off from key markets, farmers across the occupied territory can only look on with a mix of anger and envy as Israeli settlers copiously irrigate their own plantations and export at will. The pressure to keep farming is strong, not least because Palestinian farmers believe that Israel and Jewish settlers will expropriate their farmland if they leave it uncultivated. But with restrictions on water use and land, what farmers produce often fails to match the lower cost or higher quality of what Israel supplies to the Palestinian stores. Palestinian agriculture represented just six percent of gross domestic product in 2010 from 13.7 percent in 1994, the World Bank said. The Palestinian statistics bureau said the sector employed 22 percent of the workforce in 1994 but

just 12.7 percent today. “Palestinian farmers are fighting a daily, losing battle against Israeli restrictions on land and water,” said Palestinian agriculture minister Walid Assaf. In a report issued this month, a United Nations agency said the impact of the Israeli occupation on the productive base of the Palestinian economy, and especially its once-flourishing agriculture, “has been devastating.” “The economy has lost access to 40 percent of West Bank land, 82 percent of its ground water and more than two-thirds of its grazing land,” said UNCTAD, the UN’s trade and development agency. Under agreements signed in 1994, Israel controls more than 80 percent of West Bank water resources by occupying the areas where the water is most plentiful. International aid groups say it is much more generous in distributing the water to its own citizens than to Palestinians, who claim not just the territory, but also the underground

aquifers, for themselves. Amnesty International says Palestinians on average use 70 litres of water a day while Israelis and Jewish settlers consume an average 300 litres a day. The differential is even more stark in settler communities in the Jordan Valley and northern Dead Sea, where, according to the Israeli rights group B’Tselem, residents used 1,312 litres a day in 2008, mainly for agriculture. This was almost 18 times more than the amount of water made available to Palestinians, the group said in a

2011 report. It said the monthly cost of water for Palestinians was three times more than that paid by settlers. The direct result of this is easily visible. While fruit orchards in the farming town of Beit Ummar, north of the

city of Hebron, are parched because they rely only on scarce rainfall, a nearby settler farm is lined with black pipes for regular hosing, allowing for faster growth. The lush green rows of fruit trees were all picked months ago.

Jewish settlement. “We can barely afford drinking water, let alone water the trees,” said farmer Nafez Khalaylah. Palestinian farmers in most West Bank areas cannot drill new wells without Israeli permission, some-

and is controlled by the Israelis. Rights group Peace Now says Israel has declared 25,000 acres, or 16 percent of the West Bank, as “state land” since 1967 and annexed it to settlements. Other areas are still under scrutiny. COGAT, the Israeli authority that administers the West Bank, ordered a group of farmers near Jericho, close to the Dead Sea, to tear up more than 35,000 date palm trees and leave the land in August. COGAT said the trees had been planted illegally because they were on land where ownership is still to be established. It said in a written statement that the farmers had also been illegally siphoning water from Israeli sources. Palestinian farmers and officials say the land is owned by the Islamic waqf, a kind of religious trust, which the farmers have been renting for years. They say Israel is threatened by the success of their crop, the sweet, fat Medjoul date, one of the world’s most expensive varieties. Nearby Jewish settlements also grow Medjoul dates, and several neighbouring Islamic countries are now boycotting their produce. Palestinian farmers also say Israel restricts the entry of West Bank produce to key markets, namely Jerusalem, once the commercial centre for Palestinians. All produce destined to Israel or for export must pass through Israeli checkpoints and be subject to lengthy checks and procedures, significantly increasing production costs and decreasing profitability. Palestinians imported $72.2 million worth of fruit and vegetables from Israel in 2010, while their own

farmers exported just $2.92 million of produce and often laboured to sell it at home, official local statistics show. At a wholesale outlet, farmer Mohammad Awad sits surrounded by stacks of plums and 10 tons of Beit Ummar grapes, once much sought after but now unsold and starting to ferment. Awad said their only potential market is in the north of the West Bank, where plums and grapes are not grown. But the stalls there are filled with more aesthetic-looking, albeit more expensive Israeli grapes, for $1.40 a kilogram. “These grapes will end up being sold to a winery for a half shekel (17 cents) a kilo,” Awad said, taking a deep drag of his cigarette. “I’ve been telling farmers not to pick their fruit, there is no market for them.” Once dubbed Palestine’s fruit basket, farmers now leave some of their crop to rot in the sun-baked orchards, unwilling to sell it at a loss. With the sector beset by so many problems, it is little wonder that many farmers are throwing in the towel. Nafez Khalaylah recalled how 20 years ago, hundreds of farmers would leave their homes every day at five in the morning and walk toward their orchards. “Now I work all day and I do not see one single farmer, or one single cheerful person,” he said. The owner of 80 trees, he is barely able to make ends meet. Last year, plums sold for 50 cents a kg compared to $2 in the 1980s. “Maybe next year, we won’t be able to sell them at all,” he said ruefully.

thing European Union diplomats say hardly ever happens. Israel said it is already giving Palestinians more water than was agreed in the 1994 interim Oslo peace accords. It said a definitive division of resources can be decided only in a final peace deal, which has proved elusive in years of mutual recrimination and missed chances. Israeli agriculture experts say the Palestinians could do much more with their land if they adopted modern farming methods, including “drip technology” and modern fertilizers, but again Palestinians counter that it comes down to ample water supplies and unrestricted access to imports. The locals receive little help or encouragement from the Palestinian Authority, which exercises limited self-rule in the West Bank. It allocates a mere one percent of its budget to farming, despite the sector’s importance. In a speech aimed at ending recent protests against tax hikes, prime minister Salam Fayyad promised to do more for the sector. Farmers also say they are denied access to some of the West Bank’s most fertile land, especially in Area C, which includes the Jordan Valley

FOOD CHAIN | COSTS PASSED ON

U.S. drought expected to push meat prices higher Beef prices may rise five percent | It would make the fourth time in seven years that food prices grow faster than normal CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — The worst drought to hit U.S. cropland in more than half a century could soon leave Americans paying more to fund a luxury that people in few other countries enjoy: affordable meat. Drought-ravaged fields have pushed grain prices sky high, and the rising feed costs have prompted some livestock producers to liquidate their herds. This is expected to shrink the long-term U.S. supply of meat and force up prices at the meat counter. The rise in feed grain prices has also hurt Canadian livestock industries, particularly hog producers. The U.S. Department of Agriculture

expects beef and veal prices to rise as much as 4.5 percent this year, and as much as five percent in 2013. Pork products could jump by up to three percent this year and as much as 3.5 percent next year. At a time when high unemployment and rising gasoline prices have Americans flinching, any rise in grocery bills could chill discretionary spending of the middle class, placing a further drag on the economy. “It’ll put a hardship on people who are already suffering,” said Bob Goldin, executive vice-president at food industry consulting firm Technomic. “For most other consumers, it’ll be

The total economic impact of the drought, along with a federal regulation that requires gasoline to contain ethanol made from corn, could be as much as $30 billion, including ripple effects to the agricultural economy and elsewhere, estimated Bill Lapp, president of Advanced Economics Solutions. The first bite to consumers’ wallets will likely arrive at the end of October with certain cuts of chicken and other products derived from livestock that rely heavily on corn for feed, said Ricky Volpe, research economist with the USDA’s Economic Research Service. The price of milk and eggs is also expected to rise as Americans begin to prepare for holiday baking. Nearly every aisle in the grocery store will see an uptick in pricing by next year, Volpe said. “Are consumers going to feel this? Of course,” he said. The drought hit corn and soybean farmers first, but now some livestock producers are forced to make a grim choice: pay double the normal price for feed or send their animals to slaughter. Many chicken farmers have decided to thin their flocks. Sanderson Farms, the fourth largest U.S. chicken producer by volume, posted better-than-expected profits in mid-September with help from higher prices, but said it would cut production to protect future earnings from rising feed costs, operating plants at six percent below capacity until conditions changed. Hog farmers are also cutting back and losing money on each animal they send to slaughter. Some feel they have no alternative. The number of animals have built up on some farms because producers would not move them in hot weather. Others are hurrying to market to avoid the autumn seasonal price drop. With producers rushing to sell, processors are trying to control the flood of protein into the market to avoid driving down the price of pork and beef. Meat processors can sit on supplies for later use by buying fresh meat and putting it into storage. That is creating an unexpected bounty for the refrigerated warehousing industry, which is beginning to field sales calls. However, Tom Poe, president of Crystal Distribution Services in Waterloo, Iowa, said the boom will likely be short-lived as meat supplies dwindle and prices rise. The situation is likely to get worse for hog farmers. Chris Hurt, University of Purdue extension economist, said some pork producers could lose as much as $60 per head by year’s end, an all-time

Overall, the U.S. pork industry could see $4 billion in losses for the 12 month period representing the last half of 2012 and the first half of 2013. “The hardest decision is whether I want to fight this battle,” said Bill Tenting, 63, who has run his family’s hog farm in Le Mars, Iowa, for more than four decades. In recent years, he enjoyed an advantage over some of his peers because he had enough land to grow most of his own grain to feed his 10,000-pig operation. However, the widespread drought stripped his land of moisture and him of his relatively cheap source of feed. Now, he’s scrambling to find a substitute. It’s not easy. There is simply too much competition — livestock producers, the export markets and the renewable fuel industry — for not enough grain. More than half of all U.S. counties are designated as disaster zones. Yields have plummeted and prices soared. In July, corn prices at the Chicago Board of Trade skyrocketed to an all-time record high of $8.49 per bushel, while soybean futures reached an all-time high of $7.77 3/4. Wheat prices have also soared, despite a healthy U.S. harvest. Farmers increasingly rely on the crop as an alternative feedstock. Fears are mounting that drought damage in the former Soviet Union may cut export supplies. Hay has also become scarce, which is a particularly difficult reality for cattle producers. The USDA estimates that as of late July, nearly 70 percent of hay-producing areas have been affected by moderate or more intense drought.

FOR 30 M ON PRE-OONTHS W COMBINE NED 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.

My wife and I recently made the decision to sell our 5 quarters of farmland between Semans and Nokomis, Saskatchewan and we were very pleased with the service that was given to us by Doug Rue. His agricultural background and his business acumen made him the perfect fit for us in terms of completing a “worry-free” transaction. The process was swift and easy and we were more than pleased with the price we received for the land. I particularly enjoyed my conversations with Doug and his attention to detail with respect to following up with us. Trent & Lorette Fraser

Microbial cocktail may fight fire blight

Brazilian miller prefers Canadian wheat

Agriculture Canada research | Bacterial disease can be devastating for apple, pear producers BY ROBIN BOOKER SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Promising field trials have found that common microorganisms can reduce fire blight in apple and pear orchards by up to 50 percent. However, it is uncertain when producers will benefit from the findings. Agriculture Canada’s researchers have discovered that two common orchard microorganisms, a bacterium and a bacteriophage, provide a naturally occurring and environmentally friendly biopesticide that prevents and kills fire blight. Early field trials have shown that the carrier and phage cocktail, which is sprayed on trees when they are flowering, is as effective as streptomycin in controlling fire blight. Streptomycin is an antibiotic registered for use in Canadian orchards and is the best defense against fire blight, said Antonet Svircev, who led the study. Svircev, who has been studying fire blight since 1996, said the findings are a significant breakthrough. “In my system, the friendly bacteria being used as a biological control agent also helps grow the phage, like a little incubator and carrier,” Svircev said. “It’s a double edge system. The bacteria soft controls the fire blight bac-

Fire blight can cause millions of dollars in damage to apple and pear orchards. | BRITISH COLUMBIA AGRICULTURE MINISTRY PHOTO teria, but then you have the phage that kills it.” Streptomycin is effective at treating fire blight, but resistance can develop if it is overused, Svircev said. “Most growers will not use biologi-

cals alone — they’re considered soft. They don’t like to see a 50 percent efficacy rate. They like to see 100 percent efficacy,” Svircev said. “So we’re recommending the use of biologicals along with a strepto-

mycin program as part of an integrated pest management program so you can make the streptomycin last longer.” Fire blight bacterium overwinters in the trunks, branches and cankers of host trees. In the spring, billions of bacteria seep out of the infected areas when the sugars start flowing. The infection starts once the bacteria come into contact with the open flowers. It is difficult to calculate the financial damage fire blight causes because it is a sporadic disease. However, a fire blight epidemic in Michigan in 2000 caused more than $42 million in damages to producers, including the loss of 350,000 to 450,000 trees. Svircev said larger scale field trials have to be run and approval from Health Canada obtained before producers get access to the microorganism. However, the Agriculture Canada scientists need a commercial partner to help with the trials and approval process. “We need to find a partner who will say, ‘we will take a chance on you, work with you, and commercialize the product’ — that’s our biggest challenge,” Svircev said. Biological agents that can manage fire blight are already approved for use in Canada.

Why would a Brazilian miller buy wheat from Canada when grain powerhouse Argentina is right next door? That’s a question Edson Fernandes Csipai of Bunge Brasil had to answer a few times during a week of meetings at the Canadian International Grains Institute in Winnipeg. “Canadian wheat is much, much better (than Argentine wheat),” Csipai said. It has to be better because Canadian wheat costs more, due to preferential tariffs for South American grain and the distance Canadian grain has to travel to reach southern Brazil. “It’s a big advantage for Argentina,” said Csipai.

New U.S. ag attaché welcomes Canadian posting Embassy official says working with Canada will likely be less tempestuous than his last posting in Russia BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Scott Reynolds has come to a peaceable kingdom after years of fractiousness in his past position. Dealing with existing Canada-U.S. issues and problems should be a more positive experience than dealing with Russian-U.S. farm trade issues. “I’vebeenstruckwiththeco-operation between industry and government between our two countries,” said Reynolds, the new agricultural attaché with the U.S. embassy in Ottawa. “This is not something I would have said about my former assignment.”

SCOTT REYNOLDS U.S. AGRICULTURE ATTACHÉ

Reynolds spent the last four years with the U.S. embassy in Russia, where issues were less easy to resolve than most Canada-U.S. issues. Canada and the United States have a gigantic agricultural trade relation-

ship that mostly works smoothly, with billions of dollars of products flowing back and forth across the border without problems. However, with such interconnectedness comes the potential for problems, of which there have been many over the decades: countervailing and dumping fights, phytosanitary standards, pesticide harmonization and ideological struggles such as those over the CWB and supply management. Reynolds hopes to focus on minimizing the friction by resolving issues. “Part of my job is working with the

U.S. and Canadian governments on a few things to try to break down some barriers to trade, and maybe some of them aren’t barriers so much as irritants that somebody on one side of the border or other has when they try to sell something (on the other side),” said Reynolds. Former attachés needed to be engaged with the decades-long debate over the fate of the CWB monopoly. Reynolds won’t need to immerse himself in the complexities of that issue. “I will admit that I am glad that this is one issue that’s mostly taken off the table,” he said.

SUGAR BEETS | HARVEST

Crop looks promising as sugar beet harvest begins in southern Alberta Yields are estimated at 25 to 26 tons per acre, which is above the long-term average of 22 to 23 tons per acre BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Sugar beet harvest started Sept. 19 in southern Alberta, when the first of 30,000 acres of beets were dug in fields near Picture Butte, Taber, Enchant and Vauxhall. Beets from the first fields constitute a “mini-harvest.” They will be used to get the Taber Lantic sugar factory up and running Sept. 25 so that it is ready for the full-fledged harvest

scheduled to begin Oct. 1. Andrew Llewelyn-Jones, agricultural superintendent for Lantic, said the crop looks promising. “We’ve harvested some research beets and the quality of them has been very high, so if that is indicative of what the commercial crop will be like, we’re going to be in for a very good quality crop.” Yields are estimated at 25 to 26 tons per acre, above the longterm average of 22 to 23 tons per

acre, he added. Warm southern Alberta weather reduced beet digging hours last week. Beets deteriorate more quickly at piling stations when it’s hot. Daytime temperatures in the teens and lows above freezing, without rain or snow, would be ideal for beet harvest, but last week daytime temperatures were in the high 20s. Llewelyn-Jones said ventilation systems will be used in piles at Taber, Vauxhall and Burdett to preserve

beet quality as long as possible once all piling stations are open and full harvest is underway. “We’re expecting a large crop and we don’t want to take any chances with storage, so we’ll try to ventilate as many beets as we can.” Bales will also be placed on the piles to keep them cooler until they can be processed. The Taber sugar plant and piling station personnel include 300 employees for beet harvest.

Bunge imports Canadian wheat for its Brazilian mills because it is a highend miller and quality is king. About half its milling production is for baguette-style bread, which require good wheat. Csipai said Argentine wheat suffers from quality and consistency problems. Its consistency is not as uniform as Canada’s, and protein levels and general milling quality have been slipping. “The quality in Argentina is decreasing year by year,” said Csipai. Farmers have switched to imported French wheat varieties that yield better but have lower protein and other qualities, he added. “For a farmer it is good. For us as a miller, it is not so good,” said Cisipai. The closeness of Argentina and preferential tariffs mean Canadian wheat costs $60 to $70 per tonne more than Argentine wheat for Brazilian buyers, which is a 20 percent advantage. The Mercosur trading agreement means countries like Argentina get to sell products to Brazil with either no or low tariffs and taxes, while products from countries like Canada are hit much harder. Canadian grain has to pay both an import tax and a marine tax. The only reason it is feasible for a Brazilian miller to import Canadian wheat is that the quality and consistency allow it to produce a premiumpriced product and to run the mill more efficiently. Csipai said Bunge can run its mills $20 per tonne more efficiently by using Canadian instead of Argentine wheat because it is cleaner, more consistent and has better protein. Bunge would like better access to Canadian grain because of its advantages, but that would require a Canada-Brazil trade deal.

HARVEST BEE | PULLING TOGETHER

Community spirit alive in harvest for neighbour Aerial spraying accident | Combines, trucks, carts and augers converge to help neighbour harvest his 1,400 acres

LEFT: Several operators got together with Keith Taylor and his children for this group photo at the end of Day 1 of the two day harvest bee.

BY LES DUNFORD FREELANCE WRITER

PIBROCH, Alta. — Keith Taylor feels fortunate to be alive. Early in the afternoon of Sept. 5, while aerial spraying desiccant on a field west of Jarvis with his Cessna Ag Truck, he had a terrible accident. Heading east with the wind, he was lifting off at the end of the field to make the turn to head back west for the next pass. It was something he had done thousands of times over the years that he had done this work. But this time, it was different, and things went terribly wrong. A sudden gust of wind caught him, causing him to lose control. In spite of his experience, he was unable to regain control and the plane hooked a heavy power line, skidded sideways for a distance, and collided with one of the poles on the line, tearing it down and knocking out power in the area. The plane landed upside down in the field and was demolished. Taylor managed to get out and walk away to try to get reception on his cellphone to call for help, not realizing the seriousness of his injuries. In the hospital in Westlock, Alta., it was learned he had several broken ribs, crushed vertebrae and damage to his spleen. He was later taken to University of Alberta Hospital in Edmonton, where doctors removed his spleen. A week later, he returned home with the knowledge it would be months before he could do any work. Meanwhile, friend and neighbour Rick Johnston, recalling Taylor’s action a year earlier to organize and help another neighbour, Jim Wiese, take off his crop so that he could spend time with his wife in the hospital following a serious accident, decided to organize the harvest of Taylor’s 1,400 acres of wheat and canola in a similar manner. “I didn’t have to call anyone,” Johnston said. “People from all over, some from many miles away, were calling with offers to help, all within a couple of days after the accident. There were way more than we needed. “It was just, ‘let me know when you want to do it and we’ll be there,’ ” he said. “We had lots of equipment.” Some, like Johnston, left their own crops to help out. Neighbours offered their combines, swathers, trucks, grain carts and augers. Local Westlock implement dealers John Deere, New Holland and CaseIH also offered their help with combines and a grain bagger. Taylor’s father, Chris, his hired man and others swathed the crops in preparation for the combines. They also combined some of the crop. The big push started Sept. 18, when

Keith Taylor was able to watch the harvest from the driver’s seat of a Gator loaned by Martin-Deerline in Westlock, Alta., even if he couldn’t physically participate in it. Here he chats with harvest organizer Rick Johnston and neighbours Albert Calkins and Jim Taylor.

lier. It’s greatly appreciated. Kind of emotional, I really do appreciate the effort. I’m sure we would have got it done, but this has been so easy with so little stress,” he said. “I find it a little overwhelming when they shut down their own operation for a day to come and take off mine.

Meanwhile, other neighbours started in on the canola with two combines, harvesting close to 100 acres. The following day, five combines, carts and trucks showed up and finished the remaining 240 acres. “It was good to get the crop off ear-

It’s amazing. Friends, family, community kind of all came together in one big swing. There’s really no way I can express the thank you. You can say it all day long, but it means more than words can say. We live in a great community and we live in a great country.”

RESISTANCE | RESEARCH BREAKTHROUGH

Resistant kochia may have Achilles’ heel Agriculture Canada study | Researchers have found possible sensitivity in Group 2 resistant kochia to other herbicides

A new discovery by Agriculture Canada researchers could help prairie producers better manage harmful kochia weed populations. Officials have documented for the first time negative cross resistance in ALS-inhibitor (Group 2) resistant kochia. Negative cross resistance when resistance to one herbicide results in increased susceptibility to another. The study, recently published in Weed Technology, examined plants from six kochia populations collected across the Prairies, where the vast majority of kochia populations are resistant to Group 2 herbicides. The weed can have a dramatic impact on yields, is drought and saline tolerant and tumbles across the Prairies, spreading thousands of seeds every yea . Greenhouse experiments last winter in Saskatoon tested six herbicides with different modes of action against Group 2-resistant and sus-

Glyphosate resistance spreading: researcher A research scientist who discovered glyphosate-resistant kochia in Alberta earlier this year now believes glyphosate-resistant weeds may also exist in Saskatchewan. Hugh Beckie of Agriculture Canada says officials have received kochia samples from southern Alberta and south and central Saskatchewan, which would be the first to be documented in that province. “From what I can observe, it may be probable that there is now glyphosate resistance in Saskatchewan,” Beckie said. The first documented cases in Alberta were found in three chemfallowed fields in southern Alberta. Subsequent examinations found they had received multiple applications of glyphosate and were now resistant. Beckie said there are now 11 confirmed instances in southern Alberta. “It wouldn’t be a surprise if we had these other cases confirmed,” said Beckie. More than 20 confirmed cases of glyphosate resistance have been found worldwide dating back to the mid-1990s, which includes resistant giant ragweed and Canada fleabane in southwestern Ontario. “Field-to-field spread of glyphosate-resistant kochia is likely going to be rapid,” Beckie said in January. More than 90 percent of kochia populations on the Prairies are already resistant to Group 2 herbicides.

herbicides from these other two unrelated groups,” said Hugh Beckie, a research scientist with Agriculture Canada. “That’s something that might be complex to try and understand. We may need to collaborate with other folks to try and find out what’s the underlying biochemical or physiological explanation.” Other tests with bromoxynil, fluroxypyr and glyphosate found no difference in the performance of resistant and non-resistant plants. “Based on this greenhouse study, we

feel that glyphosate will have no effect either way in terms of control of Group 2-resistant kochia,” said Beckie. He expects the study will move into field trials next year as researchers look to better understand the magnitude of the response to these chemicals. “The potential is perhaps reduced herbicide use when they’re applying herbicides from those two groups,” said Beckie. “But, again, we have to validate these greenhouse findings first before we can make any recommendations.”

GRAIN TRADE | RUSSIAN SHORT FALL

SCA has new CEO

Russia expected to import more grain

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

The Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association has appointed Craig Douglas as its chief executive officer. Douglas had been serving as interim CEO since May and was previously the association’s policy analyst. The SCA collects the beef checkoff from more than 20,000 beef cattle producers in the province. “The SCA is excited to have someone with Craig’s experience, background in the western Canadian agriculture industry and analytical skills,” SCA board chair Mark Elford said in a news release. Douglas previously worked for the Canadian Wheat Board and Keystone Agricultural Producers.

Import needs will be regional | Kazakhstan, Ukraine are main sources of milling wheat, feed grain MOSCOW, Russia (Reuters) — Russia may double its usually small imports of grain from Kazakhstan and Ukraine this year to cover shortfalls caused by drought and ensure minimum inventories. “During years of good harvests, Russia’s wheat import volumes are not significant and cannot have a substantial effect on its (domestic supply-demand) balance,” SovEcon agriculture analysts said. “This year, the situation is completely different and grain imports may become an important factor for

the stability of the grain balance,” they said on Sovecon’s website. Russia imports one million tonnes of grain in good harvest years, mainly wheat from Kazakhstan to its border regions in the Urals and Siberia and top quality milling wheat that Russia cannot supply. Forecasts for this year do not indicate that the country as a whole will face an outright deficit. Russia is expected to produce 70 to 75 million tonnes of grain this year and consume 70 million tonnes. If its exports reach 10 to 12 million

tonnes as expected, carryover stocks that now total 15 million tonnes are likely to drop to five to eight million tonnes. While Russia will be able to meet most of its domestic demand, several regions, such as the northwest and east, face local deficits that may be covered by imports, according to the Institute for Agriculture Market Studies. Kazakhstan will be the main source of imported milling wheat for Russia this year, while Ukraine could export feed grain to Russia, mostly corn, SovEcon said.

“Europe could also ship to Russia’s northwest region, but at this moment this is only in theory,” said Andrei Sizov Jr., managing director at SovEcon. There have been no signs of such shipments, he added. SovEcon estimates that Russia’s wheat imports rose significantly to at least 100,000 tonnes in July-August from several thousand tonnes during the same period last year. SovEcon expects Russia to import 1.5 million tonnes of grain this year, including flour, while the Institute for Agriculture Market Studies (IKAR) expects the country to import 2.5 million tonnes of grain, of which wheat could account for up to 1.9 million tonnes. The head of the influential Russian Grain Union expects grain imports to be 1.5 to 2 million tonnes. “This year, imports will depend on prices in Russia and Kazakhstan,” said Arkady Zlochevsky, head of the producers’ lobby group. “Kazakhstan has large carryover stocks and a significant export surplus, despite a falling harvest.” The carryover stocks from last year’s post-Soviet record crop of 27 million tonnes should allow Kazakhstan to remain a major wheat exporter in this marketing year. It may be able to export more than 10 million tonnes of grain this year. Yevgeny Aman, executive secretary of the Kazakh agriculture ministry, said high prices for Kazakh wheat might be an obstacle to Russian buyers acquiring large volumes in the near future. He said Kazakh wheat was selling in the domestic market at more than $267 per tonne, and prices were certain to rise. However, he said Russian regions lying close to Kazakhstan, such as Chelyabinsk and Sverdlovsk, might increase purchases of Kazakh wheat to make up for a domestic shortfall. “There, they might have a deficit,” Aman said. “It might become more economical to buy from Kostanai region (in Kazakhstan) than to bring grain from Krasnodar (in Russia). The market will determine this.” Russia’s average domestic ex-silo prices for third grade milling wheat were $280 per tonne in mid-September, according to SovEcon. Traders expect Ukraine to export corn to Russia, but they do not see signs of a massive demand increase. “There could be some export of (corn to Russia) this season, but in small volumes and to regions that are close to Ukrainian border. I do not think we will see exports of wheat,” one trader in Kiev said. Another added: “The situation in Russia is not so serious as to import Ukrainian wheat at our huge prices. As for (corn), it’s possible in future, but I do not think they are ready to buy anything right now.” Ukraine’s exportable surplus of corn may decrease to 12 to 13 million tonnes this year from last year’s 14.4 million tonnes, analysts and traders said. It has already exported 1.25 million tonnes of corn in the 2012-13 season. The country exported only 3,702 tonnes of corn to Russia in 2011-12, while its exports of barley and wheat were negligible.

FOOD DRIVE | DRIVE AWAY HUNGER CAMPAIGN

Food, fundraising campaign kicks off Food bank use has increased 13 percent in 2012, says Farm Credit Canada CEO Greg Stewart

Those who grow food in Canada might be surprised to learn that 900,000 of their fellow citizens use food banks each month. They might also be surprised that 600 food banks are located in rural areas, where it’s easy to see the abundance of food being grown. Farm Credit Canada last week launched its annual campaign to collect food and raise money for food banks. Chief executive officer Greg Stewart said the agricultural lender has an obligation to give back to the community, and collecting food is an obvious choice. “It’s just not right in any country that any child deserves to go hungry,” he told reporters at the launch. “So we’re trying to do our part with the agricultural community to try and make a difference.” The program was launched in 2004 when an FCC employee from Ontario drove a tractor and trailer in the Listowel area for eight days and collected 60,000 pounds of food. The program has since brought in nearly eight million pounds. This year’s goal is to collect one million pounds of food and $500,000. FCC presented $50,000 to Food Banks Canada at the Sept. 18 campaign kickoff. Half of that will be dedicated to the organization’s rural support program. Part of the campaign involves driving a tractor and trailer through various communities to collect food and cash. A drive through Regina will happen Oct. 11, followed by Assiniboia, Moose Jaw and Weyburn in Saskatchewan the week of Oct. 15. The Alberta tour includes Camrose, Paradise Valley, Lloydminster, Vegreville, Mannville, Stettler, Vermilion and Drumheller from Oct. 16-18. Tours are also taking place in Ontario, New Brunswick and Quebec. Bill Hall, executive director of Food Banks Saskatchewan, said nearly half of food bank users in Canada are children and seniors. In rural areas, about 41,000 children and seniors use a food bank each month. “That’s discouraging when you contemplate the wealth of our nation,” he said. Stewart said food bank use has increased 13 percent in the last year. “It would be nice to say it could come to an end,” he said. The Drive Away Hunger national campaign includes corporate partners BDO, Cargill Ltd., Parrish and Heimbecker Ltd. and Windset Farms. Glenn Houser, Cargill’s farm service group manager for the Qu’Appelle region, said Cargill sees its participation as a way to make Canada more food secure. Employees of FCC, its partners and other organizations will be collecting food and money from Sept. 24 to Oct. 19. Food on the “most wanted” list

includes pasta products, rice, canned meat and fish, dry and canned soups and stews, canned fruit and vegetables, flour, cereal, peanut butter, canned and powdered milk, fruit ju i c e, p a s t a s au c e, b e a n s a n d legumes, and infant formula and baby food. More information can be found at www.fccdriveawayhunger.ca.

QUEBEC | WHEAT CONTRACTS

Quebec company seeking wheat for special flour Sustainable agriculture farming | Grain industry changes may prompt miller to source wheat from the West BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Changes to the grain industry in Quebec could prompt a miller in that province to look west for wheat crops grown with fewer chemicals. The move revisits an idea previously left dormant on the Prairies. Elisabeth Vachon, an agronomist with Moulins de Soulanges, a miller that produces specialty flour, said the company may need to expand its search for growers after producers in Quebec voted in a springtime referendum to close their wheat pool following the 2011-12 season. The company signs contracts ahead of the growing season to produce a wheat crop grown without fungicide and herbicide applications, paying them a $40 per tonne premium to do so. “Most of them were not satisfied with (pooling), so they wanted to make contracts with us because that was the way out of it. That’s how we got them, with the premium and the fact that they didn’t have to really go through the system,” said Vachon.

“But now that the grain commission is not there anymore, it’s going to be different.” A pesticide-free production (PFP) system isn’t organic but does prevent the use of genetically modified seeds and in-crop herbicide and pre-emergent soil-residual herbicides in certain crops. Non-residual herbicides can bookend the growing season, and other crops in the rotation are grown conventionally. A long-term rotation study near Carman, Man., has studied the concept, which was discussed on the Prairies in the early to mid-2000s as a way to reduce farmers’ input costs while providing a premium for their product and possibly slowing the spread of weed resistance. “I think what we’ve learned is that just delays things,” said Rob Gulden, a University of Manitoba researcher who watches over the Carman rotation, which produces pesticide-free oats and flax. “A crude economic analysis suggests that occasional in-crop herbicide omissions, particularly in com-

Wheat growers in Quebec battle humidity and fusarium. Instead, there has been a move toward shorter, more lucrative soybean-corn rotations. Vachon said the company’s $40

premium often won’t cover quality and yield losses on wheat crops grown without chemicals. Gulden said the results of the rotation study haven’t been overwhelming. “Certainly, if you omit herbicides in a crop that’s not very competitive, like flax, you’re going to raise your seed banks, but in the end does that really matter in terms of yield in other crops?,” he said. “We don’t have any evidence that it does much to yields in other crops that are competitive where you have good herbicides available.” A small pesticide-free movement mobilized at the time that the Carman rotation was launched. Research funds were collected, the University of Manitoba trademarked Pesticide Free Production and a producers’ group with more than 40 members began looking for markets for PFP crops, including barley, sunflowers, pulses and flax. Hundreds more were introduced to the principle through extension

meetings, said Martin Entz of the U of M, who helped develop the principle. However, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency prevented the group from marketing products as “pesticide-free” because the system allows for a pre-emergent glyphosate burnoff, and the movement lost momentum. “We thought this was going to be a real important program for a long time in Canada,” said Entz. “Unfortunately, it died a very swift death when the federal government said no.” Vachon said Moulins de Soulanges has its own accreditation and markets its product as “sustainable agriculture farming.” The company does buy some conventionally grown wheat and blends it with other flour for its specialty product, but 85 percent of the wheat that it had bought last year was grown under a PFP system. It had worked with 400 Quebec producers a few years ago, but that has since fallen to 250 larger producers growing 25,000 tonnes of wheat, she said. Gulden said the Quebec initiative is intriguing. “It’s a small market in Quebec,” she said. “There’s an interest in that whole principle again, which is kind of interesting.” Vachon said the company wants to buy all the wheat for its new mill from Quebec, but that might not be possible. “There is a very, very strong interest because it’s so simple,” she said. “When you go out west, you talk to a couple of people and it’s very easy to get volume compared to Quebec.”

NEW TECHNOLOGY | AUTONOMOUS TRACTORS

Electric tractor needs no operator Electrically powered | The 400 h.p. driverless tractor goes into production next spring STORIES BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

FARGO, N.D. — The Spirit Autonomous Tractor uses two diesel engines to power four electric motors, which drive twin rubber tracks. And as the name implies, it’s autonomous. There is no operator. It’s no experimental garden tractor or small scale orchard tractor. It’s a 400 horsepower working tractor aimed at broad acreage prairie farmers who are short on manpower and want a simpler, less expensive tractor. Electricity is a more efficient power source, and early indications are that the electric tractor can do the work of a rubber tracked 500 h.p. diesel machine. The Spirit was designed by the Autonomous Tractor Corp. (ATC) in Fargo and the Automation Research Corp. in Minneapolis. It goes into production next spring with an expected price tag of less than $200,000 and a projected first run of 25 to 100 tractors. “No one has rethought the ag tractor from the bottom up in probably 80 years,” said ATC chief technology officer LeRoy Anderson. “Equipment has tried to meet the needs of farmers by incremental innovation over many decades. The result is ‘creeping elegance’ that has produced giant machines that are prohibitively expensive, inefficient, difficult to transport, complicated to operate and unserviceable except by the most highly trained mechanics.” Terry Anderson, in charge of systems development at ATC, said diesel-electric has been working well in other industries for decades, so why aren’t farm implement manufacturers doing it. “It lets you eliminate the initial investment and long-term maintenance of the transmission and differentials,” he said. “That saves money and simplifies the whole tractor.” He said it also allows the use of two diesel engines that have a lower horsepower rating. Either engine can power the tractor. “One of the things I always hated was when a tractor went bad out in the field. You’ve got to somehow drag it out of the field and back to the shop to fix it. If you couldn’t do that, then you’d be out working in the mud and

snow. “So on the Spirit, we have two 202 h.p. Isuzu four-cylinder diesels in the tractor, plus each track is driven by a front and a rear wheel motor, so you’ll never be left out in the field.” He said either diesel can turn the Marathon genset alternator feeding a 650 volt bus. The second diesel kicks in when more power is required. It takes only one direct electric drive motor on each side to propel the tractor. “The object is to make sure the tractor is never left stranded in the field. No matter what happens, the Spirit can get back to the shop,” he said. “There’s a two hour replacement time for any component on this tractor. So if you have the part, you’ll be back in the field in two hours.” All four drive motors are the same and all 14 bogie wheels and seven axles are identical, as are the two Isuzu motors. Anderson said the company wanted to keep the parts inventory as simple as possible. Service intervals are every 500 hours and life expectancy of the tractor is expected to be 25,000 hours. There are no high-wear items on the tractor, such as clutches or transmissions. The Spirit can also have 200 h.p. of electrical power ready out the back or up front to drive an air seeder fan, grain cart auger or mower. The oil cooled electric motors are wrapped in an oil sleeve and the oil is pumped to the heat exchangers. “Pull performance is better with electric motors because the system immediately senses if one track starts slipping, just like the latest traction control systems in cars and trucks,” he said. “The control instantly reduces power on the slipping side and increases power to the side with better traction.” CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE Anderson said the controllers take readings and adjust power left to right 10 times per second. That’s not as often as the systems on Formula One cars, but the Spirit has a significantly slower ground speed. The Bridgestone rubber tracks are capable of pulling 40,000 pounds of tension on either track, if that’s what the controller demands. He said the sensitivity of the controller saves the Spirit drive system from the immediate shock damage experienced by some mechanical drive tractors. “On the Quadtrac, for example, if you get three corners spinning all at the same time, the torque automatically transfers to the remaining corner that has traction. That, along with the fact that the drive lugs have no forgiveness, means you snap an axle on the corner with traction. “We deliberately use standard 22.5 inch semi truck tires so we do not have total hookup. No drive lugs like the Quadtrac. They provide just enough torque so you don’t break anything. And the standard grooves let the mud and water escape instead of building up.” Anderson said weight distribution is a perfect 50-50 front and rear. The tractor can be equipped with implements that have been commonly used in Europe for decades. “You can have hitches, hydraulics and better yet, electric power front and rear. You can do push and pull in the same pass. “You could put a seed drill out front and a roller at the back. Or a tillage implement out front with a seeding

If you power your implements with electric motors, the p.t.o. and universal joint become obsolete.” He said ATC does not put a p.t.o. at the back or front of Spirit tractors because electricity is easier, safer and more efficient. “We’re working with a company now that produces big mowers with five cutting tables. So instead of triple splitter and double splitters, we’re building them a system with five electric

motors. Just run the cables to the cutting tables and install the five motors. With the same tractor horsepower, it delivers 30 percent more power to the cutting heads compared to the gearing nightmare they have now.” Anderson said the company’s decision to make the tractor autonomous was a response to the skilled labour shortage plaguing agriculture. “We talked to a few hundred farmers here in the Red River Valley and asked them about their biggest

Or, the problems they have themselves driving the tractor. “And this problem isn’t just the Red River Valley. It’s all across North America and around the world.” He said ATC looked at GPS early in the development of the Spirit, but decided it was not good enough for an autonomous tractor. It needed a better, more reliable navigation system. “Thank goodness we were smart enough to realize early in the game that GPS is not as good as on-theground control stations. “Other autonomous systems rely on those satellites zinging around. We rely on four Earth-bound towers, and each one has a range of (40 kilometres).” He said that kind of range means it’s nothing at all like laser beams or other GPS systems that require the operator to relocate the tower every-

time he moves from field to field. A single setup can handle just about any farm. “In Brazil, we’re working with a farmer who has one field that’s 1.5 million acres. “The field is (40 km) on the longest side, so we think we can handle it with just four of our transponders. There’s no more of this business of putting a station in the corner of a 160 acre field and moving it everytime you change fields.” Anderson said the company started working on its own Area Positioning System (APS) seven years ago, which is a combination of laser and radio. He said APS controls the Spirit in the field to within a fraction of an inch. The system is capable of controlling a number of autonomous tractors, each performing different tasks. The Spirit will follow a farmer to the field using a manual control panel in a pickup, seeding tractor, combine or all-terrain vehicle. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

NEW TECHNOLOGY | DRIVE SYSTEMS

Diesel-electric drive system can improve fuel efficiency by 15-25 percent

ABOVE: As agricultural implement manufacturers catch on to the energy efficiency and convenience of electrical power, Anderson says the p.t.o., driveshaft and hydraulic systems will become obsolete. |

FARGO, N.D. — The construction, transportation, manufacturing, mining and petroleum industries have gradually evolved from straight mechanical drive to hydraulic and eventually electric drive. Agriculture is the last big power consuming industry to discover the efficiencies of electric drive. The diesel engine, which can be powered by different substances, remains the most effective way to convert fuel into rotating power. Turning that rotating power into work is the job of the drive system. The efficiency of a mechanical drive system can be 50 percent or lower, depending on the combinat i o n o f g e a r s, C V j o i nt s, d r i v e shafts, V-belts and drive chains

used in the drive. The difficulty of transporting rotating force to the exact spot where it’s needed often adds power-robbing components, especially on a larger machine. While many technological breakthroughs have increased the efficiency of mechanical drive, it still remains at the bottom of the list. Technology has also dramatically improved hydraulic drive systems, with some motor-pump combinations functioning at 70 percent efficiency or higher. Moving that power from the diesel to the work tool may be easier than with mechanical drive, but friction in the lines can also eat a lot of power. Hydraulic drive systems are more prone to failure caused by contami-

nants in the oil, which can bring down the entire system. Electrical drive systems were once rated at 85 to 90 percent efficiency. However, some of the latest bipolar pulse generator systems achieve an efficiency rating of 97 percent in remote areas where they are powered by gas turbines.

Probably the biggest factor in favour of electrical drive is the fact that power can be transported to any spot on the machine simply by running a cable. And once the power is where it needs to be, precise control of torque and speed is relatively easy. Terry Anderson of the Autonomous Tractor Corp. said a diesel-electric drive system is 15 to 25 percent more fuel efficient than diesel mechanical or diesel-hydraulic drive systems. “That means you can put 15 to 25 percent more power to the ground compared to other systems,” he said. “It’s not unreasonable to see a 400 h.p. diesel-electric tractor doing the work of a 500 h.p. mechanical drive tractor.”

When a farmer gets to the field, he parks the Spirit and does a perimeter around the outer edges, driving around tree lines, pothole and rock piles. This information is automatically logged into the Spirit controller. Anderson said the company has built safety redundancies into the control system. “The Spirit will not break out of those parameters until you tell it to,” he said. “You can unplug any cable connection in there and the tractor will still remain in the field until you command it to move. Now, we’re not telling you or anyone else exactly how we accomplish that.” Anderson said the control system was first developed and tested by the U.S. military. The Spirit is controlled by four independent fail-safe controllers, two of which are safety controllers and two of which are positioning controllers. Safety controllers are connected to a separate light detection and ranging (LDAR) system and a perimeter ultra-sonic sensor. The Spirit shuts down immediately if anything obstructs the tractor or indicates danger. A separate APS unit and base station master controller talks to the LDAR to control and map the tractor’s path. The Spirit is small compared to other tractors in the same horsepower range. Rather than the one inch thick frame rails found in most high power tractors, the Spirit is based on a steel tube lattice frame. It measures 102 inches wide, 152 inches long and nine feet high. The tractor uses many off-the shelf components, which simplifies the production process. The factories will be nothing like those of the major tractor manufacturers. The first assembly run will be at the Fargo plant in March. Beyond that, Anderson said the company will build five more assembly plants in North America. Farmers will buy directly from the factory, so there will be no dealerships. “Service and repair is so simple that we don’t feel we really need a dealership network,” he said.

Sprayer calibration saves money and environment Getting rates right | Spraying equipment isn’t as precise as producers might think BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

WOODSTOCK, Ont. — Most sprayers vary five to 15 percent from nozzle

to nozzle. “The whole unit might be pretty close to spot on (for rates of application), but from nozzle to nozzle or side to side, it could be out quite a lot, and most are,” said Helmut Spieser, an engineer with the Ontario agriculture department. He said he has seen first-hand the evidence of sprayer variability and the research that backs it up. He said farm sprayers, whether they are small, medium or large, are not the precision instruments the industry thinks. Jason Deveau, a pesticide application specialist with the department, said research has shown that sprayers misapply millions of dollars in product, wasting chemical and hurting crops and yield. “U.S. farmers’ sprayers have been shown to be out of calibration in a substantial way. Two-thirds of machines are accurate to plus or minus five percent. One-third are out of whack by more 10 percent,” he said during Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show in Woodstock in mid-September. “Rate controllers don’t calibrate machines. You can have the best in precision agriculture tools, but they don’t have control of each nozzle. Only people can calibrate a machine.” Rate controllers balance the flow of material through the sections of a boom, but that region of the machine can be significantly out of calibration within each section because of the variability of the nozzles. “What is acceptable variation? We recently had a farmer bring in a new set of nozzles. They were packed in sixes, in a plastic case. He said there was a problem. We tested 17 percent over,” said Deveau. “Dealers don’t like to hear that sort of thing. They will push back. They will tell you, you are wrong. They might even say worse than that. You can ask them to test for themselves.… A few dealers have set up testing units in their shops to examine the flow of nozzles before they are sold.” Spieser said the only way to be certain whether a sprayer is properly calibrated is to test nozzle by nozzle. “Testing takes as little as 20 minutes. And you only need to do it once a year, unless you make changes or are spraying a lot of abrasive stuff.” It might take as long as 90 minutes to test all 72 points on larger sprayers, with a nozzle every 20 inches. Adding micro nutrients or spraying with water that contains a lot of tiny fine particles can rapidly wear nozzles. Deveau said some air-blast spray systems that put out high flows of material at 200 pounds per inch can wear through a couple of sets of brass nozzles in a season. Poly wears the fastest, with higher priced ceramics lasting longer.

Testing takes as little as 20 minutes. And you only need to do it once a year, unless you make changes or are spraying a lot of abrasive stuff. HELMUT SPIESER ONTARIO AGRICULTURE ENGINEER

“They all wear,” he said. “You don’t buy a few sets of different (rates) and think you’ll be keeping them for the whole time you own that sprayer and have them perform properly.” Spieser said calibrating a set of nozzles or replacing a few will pay for itself the first day in increased yields. “A new set will pay for themselves in saved spray and proper application in the first season, and likely a lot sooner than that,” he said. “Not to mention, the environmental issues with proper application.” Producers can check each nozzle for errors by using graduated cylinders or other accurate measuring devices. They can also run the sprayer for a specific time. The sprayer’s controller should be matched to a known, measured distance on the farm. Many producers maintain a set of marked posts that they can quickly use to ensure that the machine remains properly set. This is critical for machines using Hall sensors on driveline shafts or radar units for speed and distance monitoring. It is less variable for GPS units, but these should also be verified on occasion. O nce distance and speed are known to be accurate, producers should establish a target rate based on which nozzles they selected and the pressure that is applied by the pump and controller system. Manufacturers’ performance charts will indicate the gallons or litres per minute that are the standard for a specific nozzle at a specific pressure. Multiply U.S. gallons per acre by miles per hour and by the sprayer’s width between nozzles in inches. In metric, it should be litres per acre multiplied by kilometres per hour multiplied by width in centimetres. Divide by 5,940 for the imperial ver-

sion and by 60,000 for metric. This will provide a gallons per minute or litres per minute result. Standing still should yield a result that is similar to the rated amount for the nozzle after setting the sprayer to produce the target pressure and capturing the outflow from the nozzles. For example, a nozzle rated at 0.4 gallons or 1.5 litres per minute at 40 lb. per square inch should generate that result when nozzles that are

spaced at 20 inches on a boom travelling at 12 m.p.h. and applying 10 gallons per acre do this for one minute. Test each nozzle using water and note the rate. A nozzle should be replaced if it doesn’t match its rated capacity by plus or minus five percent. An automated spray controller can manage the application rates if all the nozzles are out by similar amounts so that that there aren’t drastic variations across the booms. However, nozzle performance might be compromised. There are automated methods of calibrating. Wilger’s quick calibrator sells for $399, while the SpotOn units from Innoquest that are popular with researchers and machinery engineers sell for $150. Deveau said even the automated systems aren’t fool proof and must be used in the same way each time to be reliable.

MARKETING | FACE-TO-FACE

In-store rancher helps sell meat Placing a red maple leaf on a package of beef helps sell more to shoppers eager to buy Canadian made. If they get to meet a real rancher, all the better, said Ken Clark, manager of fresh merchandising with Overwaitea Food Group. The chain includes Overwaitea, Cooper’s Foods, Urban Fare, Price Smart and Save-On Foods. Ranchers and in-store educators market the company’s Western Family brand by talking about beef selection and preparation. Clark said beef sales increase by double digits when ranchers are in the store. “This business is cut throat,” he said. “For customers, it is all about price and value. When the ranchers are in the store, it is amazing. We sell out our whole case if it is on feature or regular price.” Overwaitea started the program in 2003 to support Canadian beef producers. It found that shoppers responded beyond their expectation, Clark told a Canada Beef forum held in Calgary Sept. 20. Other companies selling beef have seen other emerging trends. At Group Lauzon in Quebec, customers are looking for quality and Canadian origin, but more American beef seems to be arriving in its trading area, said Greg Colligan. The company distributes beef to high end restaurants, processors and institutions. Customer feedback indicates they want Canadian produced beef with a growing demand for antibiotic and hormone free product. Right now that niche is about eight percent of its business. “It is a niche right now, but the demand is there. It is a niche that is very necessary because it is trending toward no hormones and no antibiotics,” he said. Another common issue is carcass size. The food service complains that carcasses are too big and is looking for ways to use heavier beef. People have been told to eat a piece of meat the size of the palm of their hand, so there seems to be a communication breakdown between the producers and the sellers, said Lauzon. Improvements in genetics, feed quality and health management have produced a bigger animal, said Bill Thoni of Cargill. When he started buying cattle 25 years ago, an average fed heifer was 1,000 pounds. Now it is about 1,200 lb. “One of these days we are going to have to figure out as these animals get bigger, how do we continue to make a great eating experience for a consumer without that rib eye being the size of the plate,” he said. “I don’t know the answer.”

MEAT EXPORTS | GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS

Meat import rules curb exports Satisfy demands | Packers need to cater to niche markets to get the most money for each product STORIES BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

The world wants more meat but it is a complex task to provide exactly what each country wants. “No two countries have the same s p e c i f i c at i o n s o r g ov e r n m e nt requirements,” said the vice-president of cattle procurement for Cargill Meat Solutions. This makes it complicated for meat companies to meet the many demands and there are countries they do not sell into because they cannot meet the requirements, said Bill Thoni at the Canada Beef forum held in Calgary Sept. 20. A market may open with great fanfare but if it is not commercially viable, few businesses will send products into that country, he said. “As an industry we need to make sure we do agreements that are not so onerous and where we can actually get products into that country.” Dave Plett, president of Western Feedlots in southern Alberta, has made similar observations and as head of a company that can feed 100,000 head per year, he wants the best value for every animal. Four trips to China in the last two years have revealed a diverse market

that is splintered into many small components that all want something different. “I am concerned that current marketplace and marketing mechanisms that we have in place now are not sending signals rapidly enough for us as an industry to respond,” he said. In his opinion, the industry needs more innovation and leadership to fill all those markets requests. Those leading the way in these new markets will not likely come from government or cattle organiz at i o n s. T h e y w i l l m o re l i k e l y come from private businesses that are investing in and building new markets. A multinational like Cargill could take the lead on the global stage.

It processes eight million cattle each year in Canada and the United States. About 6.2 million are processed in the U.S and the remainder is handled in Cargill’s plants in High River, Alta., and Guelph, Ont. Carcasses are split many ways and cuts and organs that have no value here fetch big money in Asia and elsewhere. “Our challenge as packers is to find the first best use. Where is the best use for that product to go at the highest value for each of those products?” For example, short ribs sell for $2.50 per pound in South Korea. There are 10 lb. of short ribs per animal and in Canada and the U.S. the product goes for lean meat at 90 cents a lb. Navels, finger meat, livers, tongues

and ox lips are all valued highly elsewhere. Lips sell for $1.60 per lb. in Mexico whereas in Canada they would be sold for rendering value. Tongue is worth $6.50 a lb. in Japan versus 10 cents a pound here. September statistics from the U.S. department of agriculture reported Japan has emerged as the best customer for U.S. beef this year. In July, it bought 17,130 tonnes, the best monthly volume since December 2003. However, Australia shipped more than 31,000 tonnes in July. Canada is the second largest destination for U.S. beef. For the month of July, Canada imported 15,432 tonnes from the U.S., a 30 percent decline compared to July 2011.

HOGS | SUSTAINABILITY

Hog sector seeks help; looks for market solution ‘We didn’t forget you’ | Ag minister addresses producers’ concerns BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

MISSISSAUGA, Ont. — Near the end of an industry and analystheavy conference on animal agriculture sustainability, Ontario hog farmer Amy Cronin offered what she thought was a bit of reality to the picture. “I don’t think we’re sustainable as pork producers in Ontario or Canada, and we need to change and have a different approach,” said the chair of Ontario Pork. There was much talk at the conference about the need for co-operation in the value chain and the need for sustainability throughout the industry. Cronin farms near Bluevale in Huron County with her husband and six children, operating a 3,500 sow and farrow-to-finish operation that produces 60,000 market hogs a year. This year, they are losing $50 on every animal they sell. Production costs for a 280 pound market hog are $180 and market prices average $130, Cronin told the conference. “That’s not a sustainable model.” She said society’s pressure for better environmental performance and animal welfare practices adds costs to farmers, but the market is not returning production costs. However, the panel discussion offered her few solutions. The hog industry has been battered by high feed costs, partly because of a North American drought and a Canadian dollar that is higher than the American dollar, which reduces prices on animals shipped south. Martin Gooch, director of the Value C ha i n Ma na g e m e nt C e nt re at Guelph’s George Morris Centre, suggested the industry develop a new pricing model to replace one that is not working.

A tactical group will be ‘talking about innovative ways within the programming suite that we have to make sure that the hog sector is well cared for.’ GERRY RITZ FEDERAL AGRICULTURE MINISTER

In an interview, Cronin said she was not sure what that meant. She also said there is no time to develop a new system in the middle of an income crisis, with feed costs projected to be high for some time. “In Ontario, our price is based on the United States price, so he’s saying why don’t you develop a product and charge what you need for it, but it is really difficult to make that change when you are in a commodity market,” she said. Sobeys Inc. vice-president David Smith was asked if retailers could be part of the solution for producers. He said increasing pork prices so that more money could be sent back to producers was not an option in a competitive, low-margin business like groceries. “I heard that and thought of myself as definitely at the bottom of the food chain,” Cronin said later. She said it is largely an issue of market power, and at the moment, producers are a weak link. “Packers tell us what they need, but they’re not willing to pay more for our pigs,” she said. “And consumers want changes made in animal welfare so they have to be willing to pay more for that because you can’t have producers continuing to produce product and lose money every time they sell a hog. But I don’t see that right now either.” She said once the current crisis ends, the Canadian hog industry

should look at value chain arrangements in other countries and other industries “to see what has worked in other parts of the world and try to apply it to our industry.” However, there is no time to dream of other market solutions in the midst of heavy losses, she said. Government must act. “I’m really hoping our government will come through with AgriRecovery for the pork industry in Canada,” she said. “The U.S. drought and its effect on feed prices is what is making our industry unprofitable right now. AgriRecovery would be the perfect program to help farmers.” Federal minister Gerry Ritz suggested after a federal-provincial minister’s meeting in Whitehorse in mid-August that action could be taken. “We didn’t forget you,” he told Canadian Pork Council president Jean-Guy Vincent after the meeting, although no announcements were made. Ritz said at a news conference Sept. 14 that AgriStability is there for producers, although the industry insists the program does not work after years of losses that wiped out farmer margins. He said industry leaders are part of a “tactical group” looking for solutions. They will be “talking about innovative ways within the programming suite that we have to make sure that the hog sector is well cared for.”

HOG SECTOR | ANALYSIS

Make hog sector find solution: analyst The industry needs to manage ‘systemic risks’ BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Despite hog industry calls for help in the midst of massive losses, governments should stand back and let the business fix itself, says a University of Guelph analyst. “To save the hog industry in Canada, governments should leave it alone and let it figure out how to better manage and mitigate systemic risks or else it will continue its journey toward a slow and certain demise,” says Sylvain Charlebois, associate dean in the university’s College of Management and Economics. He recently issued an analysis called “the hog industry’s slow death” in the wake of recent highprofile industry failures and government promises of a search for solutions. In a later e-mail, he softened his prediction about industry “demise,” but insisted the sector should and can fix its own problems. “Canada will always have a hog industry,” he wrote in the e-mail. “The Canadian industry is highly integrated but not well co-ordinated. It can build on its current competitive advantage to broaden its strategic (position) through genetics, production, slaughter ing, processing and better market orientation.”

Charlebois argued that the Danish hog industry has developed an “unparalleled competitive advantage” over other countries by creating a harmonized system from breeding and genetics through production, slaughter, processing and marketing. “As a result, we buy pork from Denmark, but Denmark rarely buys from us,” he said. Charlebois argued the Canadian industry is too “producer-centric.” As well, while it is cost-competitive, the industry is not equipped to deal with shocks such as a spike in feed costs or a high-priced dollar. Another government bailout simply would delay the required industry reorganization. “The Canadian hog industry will have to work itself through this difficult predicament,” he wrote. “Higher feed costs likely will trim herd sizes over the coming months.” And that will increase prices, easing the crisis. “It is a shame that all this will happen without a long-term strategy for the industry in place.” Some hog sector leaders argue that part of the problem is producers’ lack of market power. Other links in the industry chain make money from the hog sector but not enough of that system profit makes it back to the creators of the commodity.

CONSUMER SURVEY | POSITIVE ATTITUDES

Consumer perceptions improving on ag: survey Promotions featuring farmers’ stories make consumers feel connected BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

MISSISSAUGA, Ont. — Canadians increasingly view farmers positively, says a Canadian market researcher, despite activist complaints about food prices, food safety, import inspection, factory farming and animal treatment on farms. Colin Siren, a vice-president of Ipsos Marketing, told an industry conference last week that public perceptions of the industry have been improving in recent years. The food system is not a top-ofmind issue for consumers, he said, but 88 percent told pollsters this summer that they had a positive or neutral view of the industry. That compares to 75 percent in 2006 in the wake of the BSE outbreaks and 81 percent in 2009 after the listeria outbreak. Siren said more than 1,200 Canadians with no connection to agriculture responded in an online poll. “The overall perception of farmers has improved since 2006,” he told the North American Forum on Sustainable Animal Agriculture, which was co-sponsored by the Farm & Food Foundation in Ontario and the U.S.-based Center for Food Integrity. Both are industry funded organizations to promote consumer trust in the food system. However, Siren said the good industry news comes with a message. “The industry should continue to engage consumers and strive to improve other messages such as faith in the industry, regulators and practices.” Crystal Mackay, executive director of Farm and Food Care in Guelph, Ont., said the survey results are proof that agriculture is doing much that is right. “Canadians ranked farmers as warmly and favourably as their own family and friends, just slightly above doctors and other medical professions,” she said in a statement about the survey results. Siren said in an interview that many of the issues raised by critics, such as hen and hog confinement, genetically modified seeds, farm size and descriptions of “factory farming” and food safety, do not directly touch most consumers. “Some of the issues that are raised really haven’t affected the lives of average Canadians,” he said. “Organic is an example. It has a very good image and yet the percentage of consumers always making organic food choices is a very small one.” Siren speculated that public perceptions of farmers and farming continue to improve partly because of trends that connect them more closely to individual farmers. “I think it relates to the fact that there is now a strong interest in local food, and that connects consumers with real farmers at markets,” said Siren. “As well, a lot of food retailers and

marketers are featuring farmers in their promotions, making agriculture and where the product comes from a part of their branding, and that makes consumers feel connected.” He said public attitudes toward the industry are improving even on more difficult issues such as the environmental impact of farming and the treatment of animals on the farm.

Meanwhile, Canadian cattle industry consultant and former Canadian Cattlemen’s Association executive vice-president Charlie Gracey offered his own take on industry critics as the conference wound down. Participants were asked to write a headline that might be used in a newspaper to describe the message out of the conference. “Shut up and eat,” he wrote.

Parasites deadly for small ruminants ANIMAL HEALTH

Blood-sucking parasites, known as barber pole worms, cause anemia and breathing difficulties in sheep and goats. | JAMIE ROTHENBURGER PHOTO

heep and goats commonly contract a deadly, blood-sucking parasite, Haemonchus contortus (H. contortus). Also known as the barber pole worm for its red-striped appearance, it resides in the abomasum, or fourth stomach.

Bred in Canada to feed the world. Cereal seed from Syngenta helps growers harvest opportunities wherever they are. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been breeding wheat in Canada for four decades, setting unprecedented standards for yield, quality and sustainability.

Blood loss is the most important effect of this parasite. Individual worms can consume 0.05 millilitres of blood a day. Given that thousands of worms can live in an animal, this repeated blood loss is substantial, even over short periods of time. Anemia develops, which is a reduced number of red blood cells in the blood. Affected animals have pale or white gums and conjunctiva, which is the area inside the lower eyelid. These tissues should be bright pink to red. Bottlejaw, which is edema of the tissues under the neck and jaw, develops because fluid leaks from the blood. The worms suck red blood cells and

protein, so the reduced protein allows the water components of blood to leak out. Gravity collects this fluid in the lower parts of the body such as the jaw, neck and belly. As with any anemia, clinical signs include weakness, shortness of breath, inability to exercise and sudden death. Slow weight gain and poor body condition are other general signs of parasitism. A tentative diagnosis can be reached based on these clinical signs. Testing feces for worm eggs or performing autopsies on deceased animals can confirm infection. The most severe disease occurs in growing lambs and kids, although young adults are also affected. Mature adults develop immunity in most circumstances. The life cycle of this parasite is simple. Adult worms within the stomach pass eggs in the feces. These hatch and go through several larval stages in the environment. They are extremely resistant to drying out by the time they reach the infective larval stage. Grazing sheep and goats ingest the worm, which enters the stomach lining. It can undergo a hibernation stage in winter, where it keeps dormant until the weather improves. Otherwise, it matures into adults and produces more eggs. Like most parasites, the barber pole worm thrives in warm, wet conditions. The best way to control it is to interrupt its life cycle. Resistance to dewormer medications is a growing problem, which means strategic treatment of the most severely infected animal is better than deworming the entire group. One-third of animals carry most of the worms. The lower eyelid can be examined for anemia using the Famacha system, while body condition scoring can identify those most severely infected. These animals can then be treated before winter confinement and released onto new pastures to reduce the number of worms in the new environments. Although it may seem counterintuitive, a small number of non-resistant parasites in the herd or flock dilutes the resistant parasites to maintain future susceptibility to dewormers. Leaving the least-affected animals untreated will preserve these nonresistant parasites. Rotational grazing can also help control this parasite. Sheep and goats should be moved to pastures that have not been grazed in at least three months, or onto pastures previously used by cattle or horses. Sheep and goats that have the barber pole worm usually also have other worm species lower in the intestines. These may cause less severe disease, but control is important from a productivity perspective. Parasite control programs should be given high priority, considering the severe loss of production attributed to parasites such as the barber pole worm. Some veterinarians go so far as to advocate planning other routine care procedures such as vaccination and hoof trimming around the deworming schedule. Jamie Rothenburger is a veterinarian practising at Crossfield, Alta.

Pasture walks critique cattle producers’ work Feeding cattle in the field makes sense | Wildlife can play havoc with swath grazing efforts, but there are solutions BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

VALLEYVIEW, Alta. — Hosting a pasture walk on your own farm is like having a free visit from a personal trainer at the gym. Rob and Kendra Elzinga didn’t hesitate when they were asked to host the Peace Country Beef and Forage Association’s pasture walk on their Peace River area farm. “It’s nice to listen to other people’s opinions,” said Rob Elzinga, who willingly showed Saskatchewan Agriculture regional forage specialist Lorne Klein his good and bad pasture. “This way we can see it and not just read about it,” said Elzinga, who raises cattle north of Valleyview with a combination of grain, pasture, swath grazing and feeding hay in the farmyard. Morgan Hobin of the Peace Country Beef and Forage Association said pasture walks are designed to be learning events rather than just pointing out what producers are doing wrong. Klein said feeding cattle in the field make sense whether they are grazed in southern Saskatchewan or northern Alberta. Feeding hay bales in the field can recapture 34 percent of the nitrogen from the hay bale, compared to one percent of the nitrogen recapture from the bale if the manure is hauled onto the field, said Klein. “The difference is way too big to ignore,” he said. “I think of bales as little fertilizer packages and where I want to spread the fertilizer packages.” Keeping the nitrogen in the field is one more way to reduce the need for high priced nitrogen fertilizer, he added. However, swath grazing and bale grazing during the winter doesn’t work for the Elzinga family because of wildlife problems. Deer and elk leap over fences to help themselves to free food during the winter. Swath grazing early-seeded oats and barley in the summer is an option that seems to work, said Elzinga because wildlife don’t seem to bother the swaths in the summer. As well, the practice allows pasture

Klein suggested limiting cattle to a smaller area of the field when swath grazing to encourage them to eat all the swath and not just the heads. Raising cattle during the dry years has also prompted the couple to reevaluate the way they manage their livestock. Three years ago they sold

two-thirds of their cattle because of limited feed. “Drought taught us what we were doing wrong. We’ve changed a lot since the drought,” said Kendra. Since the drought, the couple has split pastures into smaller paddocks and limited how much they work the grey-wooded soil. They have also fenced off dugouts and added troughs to prevent cattle from walking into the dugout. Klein said grazing pasture is similar to keeping Wayne Gretzky’s hockey skills sharp.

Not grazing a pasture would be similar to not playing Gretzky for several years and expecting him to be a top player. Having Gretzky on the ice for the entire game without a rest would also not be good. It’s the same with pasture, he said. “Forever rest is not good and forever use is not good,” said Klein. The Elzingas were using a combination of strategies to improve pasture management, he added. “You don’t need me here to tell you what to do. The main thing is you’re paying attention.”

Soil is sometimes the limiting factor in pasture production.

Agricultural chemical multinationals are taking a keen interest in companies that produce green crop protection products. “Just in the last month or so, we’ve seen three acquisitions of that nature,” said John Cross, one of the founders of Philom Bios, a Saskatoon inoculant manufacturer that was bought by Novozymes in 2007. The latest deal is BASF’s $1.02 billion purchase of Becker Underwood, a world leader in the production of seed-applied biological products, such as inoculants, seed treatments and biopesticides. The company is expected to post sales of $240 million in the fiscal year 2012 to customers in more than 70 countries. It has 10 production sites around the world, including an inoculant manufacturing facility in Saskatoon, which started out as MicroBio RhizoGen Corp. Cross was surprised by the price BASF paid for Becker Underwood. “It’s staggering.” He said it demonstrates how eager chemical companies are to expand to include environmentally friendly inputs and to capitalize on relationships that exist between biological products and synthetic chemicals. Cross said multinationals were slow to recognize the opportunity, but they now appear sold on the idea of incorporating microbial or natural products into their line-ups. Bayer CropScience announced in August that it had completed its $425 million purchase of AgraQuest Inc., a supplier of biological pest management and seed treatment products. “The global market for green products is expected to increase significantly over the years to come,” Bayer chief executive officer Sandra Peterson said in a news release. Syngenta announced Sept. 19 that it acquired Pasteuria Bioscience Inc. for $86 million with additional deferred payments of up to $27 million. The companies are developing a biological product to control nematodes in soybeans, corn, cereals,

Cross expects growers will reap the rewards. “That’s the intention of these acquisitions in all cases — bring more value to farmers. If that don’t happen, it’s a bad investment,” he said. “It speaks volumes to a new phase of higher performing, safer, environmentally friendly products (being) more widely available.

That’s got to be good for our farmers and society.” He also believes early-stage companies that are developing novel biological products for farmers will now have access to more capital to complete their work. Anne Burt, director of communications with BASF, said Becker Underwood will be incorporated into the company’s newly created functional crop care business unit. “(Becker Underwood’s) work in biologicals is highly complimentary to our portfolio, and they have a strong record of success with customers,” she said.

“It’s certainly our intention to grow together.” Burt said Becker Underwood staff will be able to draw upon BASF’s experience and resources to enhance its seed treatment and biological control product lines. Cross thinks that’s more than just lip service. “(BASF) bring decades of experience, they have the infrastructure and they have capital,” he said. The deal is subject to regulatory approval in the eight countries where Becker Underwood has manufacturing plants. The transaction is expected to close by the end of this year.

Westeel and FWS Group work together to capture more grain handling construction BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

A wave of grain company upgrades and farm reinvestments will create a booming market for Westeel products, company officials said. That’s why it has reached an agreement with FWS Group of Companies

to work together to expand each company’s construction business. “There’s going to be a ton of those projects that are going to continue on,” said Westeel president Andre Granger about the plans of grain companies to expand their handling systems. “We just think there’s huge opportunity there.”

FWS has specialized in large-scale construction on the Prairies for decades. Westeel has long supplied a large share of the on-farm grain bins, but in recent years has expanded into commercial grain storage systems. Granger said his company had the products to supply the big commercial grain companies, but was not

well-organized to connect to them. The FWS connection should help. “FWS is really well known for working with some of these large commercial organizations and managing some of their projects, and we’ve been left out of that segment of the market because we haven’t had anyone actively servicing the market and pro-

moting our product,” said Granger. “(Because of this agreement) we’re really working to promote each other’s products and services and to be each other’s first choice in terms of bringing solutions to the customer.” FWS and Westeel are headquartered in Winnipeg. Westeel is owned by Vicwest Corp.,traded on the TSX.

CHS INC. | CANADIAN ACQUISITION

U.S. farm service firm partners with Alta. retailer DynAgra, CHS Inc. alliance | The deal will allow DynAgra to expand its product line and access new markets BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

An American company that bills itself as the largest farmer-owned co-operative in the United States has taken another step into the western Canadian marketplace. CHS Inc. announced last week that it has reached a partnership agreement with DynAgra Corp., an independent farm retailer based at Beiseker, Alta. Officials from CHS and DynAgra were unavailable to provide details but both companies confirmed that DynAgra will become the first Canadian company to join CHS’s North American network of farm service and ag retail centres. CHS owns or has affiliations with roughly 70 farm service centres in 15 American states.

Those centres offer agricultural inputs, farm supplies, energy products, risk management products and farm business solutions to roughly 50,000 farmers and ranchers. The centres also source nearly 600 million bushels of grain annually and supply about two million tonnes of crop nutrients each year. The alliance with CHS will allow DynAgra to offer new products to its farm customers and access new markets, the Alberta retailer said in a news release. “In our research to take DynAgra … to the next level, we decided that a global company was needed to propel our customers into international markets,” stated DynAgra president and chief executive officer Bruce Schmaltz. “After substantial analysis, we decided CHS has what it takes to

We see this as an opportunity to go in, build some relationships … and develop a supply chain out of Canada… RICK DUSEK CHS VICE-PRESIDENT, GRAIN MARKETING

open up world markets for our customers while bringing a competitive presence to the retail crop input market.” DynAgra will operate under a new name, CHS DynAgra, but customers can expect a smooth transition, including continuity of staffing at all DynAgra locations, the company said. DynAgra has ag retail outlets in Beiseker, Carseland, Standard and

Rolling Hills, Alta. For CHS Inc., the move into Alberta is the latest step aimed at increasing the company’s presence in Western Canada. CHS already has significant grain handling assets in northern U.S. states. Its trade is focused heavily on spring wheat and durum, crops traditionally marketed in Canada by the CWB. The company opened a grain trading office in Winnipeg in late 2011. Rick Dusek, vice-president of grain marketing for CHS, recently told The Western Producer that his company plans to investigate opportunities in Western Canada’s recently deregulated grain market. “We have customers that are asking us to supply (wheat and durum) not only out of the U.S. but out of the entire North American market,

i n c l u d i n g Ca na d a, w i t h t h e s e changes to the wheat board,” Dusek said. “We see this as an opportunity to go in, build some relationships … and develop a supply chain out of Canada to complement our other supply chains out of the U.S. and even in some instances, out of the Black Sea and South America as well.” John McEnroe, executive vicepresident of CHS Inc., called the agreement with DynAgra a good match for both companies. “Part of our commitment to helping our farmer-owners grow their businesses included expanding our reach geographically, and Canada provides the opportunities to do just that,” he said. The deal between DynAgra and CHS is expected to be finalized in late September.

VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTERS | TAX CREDIT

Federal gov’t announces way to reward volunteer firefighters TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS

COLIN MILLER

Volunteer firefighters have the option of a tax credit or income exemption

esidents of small towns are usually heavily involved in community initiatives. Whether it is sitting on town council or volunteering at the community centre, small towns thrive off of the time invested by their citizens. Volunteer firefighters are especially needed in these smaller communities. Individuals volunteer not only their time but their safety to ensure their neighbours are protected from the disasters that fire can bring, especially in a farming community. The federal government recently decided to offer a tax credit to these individuals who donate their services at their local fire station. The volunteer firefighter tax credit is $3,000 and available only to individuals. To receive this tax credit, volunteers need to work for the fire department at least 200 hours in the given year. They can accumulate these necessary hours in several ways: • being on call for firefighting and other emergencies • attending meetings at the fire department • taking a course in preventing and putting out fires

They can also perform secondary ser vices to reach the 200 hour threshold, such as maintenance of department vehicles and equipment and delivery of educational sessions undertaken by the fire department. Volunteer firefighters who use this tax credit can reduce their taxes by as much as $450. This is calculated by taking the tax credit amount of $3,000 and multiplying it by the nonrefundable tax credit rate of 15 percent. The unused difference is lost if they do not have enough income to offset this credit, and is not available to be carried forward to a future year. Volunteer firefighters may be eligible for an income exemption of up to $1,000 if they received a payment from a government, municipality or other public authority for carrying out volunteer firefighter duties. However, they will not be eligible for the volunteer firefighters’ credit if they choose to claim this income exemption. There is a tax planning opportunity here because the government is providing an option to choose from either the tax credit or the $1,000 income exemption. It would be beneficial to see which scenario provides the better outcome. The $1,000 exemption could provide a better benefit than the $3,000 tax credit, depending on which tax bracket a volunteer falls into. Credits offered to individuals may be a small piece of the total tax pie, but they can add up to significant tax savings. Therefore, it is beneficial to consider all of the options. To determine if you are taking full advantage of the personal tax opportunities available to you, such as the firefighters tax credit, be sure to talk with your personal tax professional.
