XL plant closure shakes market CFIA recalls 400 products | E. coli from Alberta plant found in beef products across Canada, U.S. BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Uncertainty is overshadowing beef markets with the temporary closure of one of Canada’s major meat processing plants. A backlog of cattle awaited slaughter and markets turned bearish after the Canadian Food Inspection

Agency pulled XL Foods’ licence and closed the plant Sept. 27 following the discovery of E. coli O157:H7 in various products. The list of recalled products numbers around 400 and affects retail outlets in Canada and the United States. The list includes prepared burgers, meat loaf, fresh ground beef and most recently, whole muscle cuts.

Alberta premier Alison Redford and agriculture minister Verlyn Olson said Sept. 30 they are talking with the CFIA to see when the plant might reopen. “Our priority is to do everything we possibly can to assure that we are working with CFIA and minister (Gerry) Ritz and with XL Foods to reopen that plant as soon as possible,” Redford said at a news confer-

ence in Calgary. “ We a re p re s s i n g e v e r y b o d y involved to make it the top priority so XL can comply with regulations so we can get the plant back working and get all those employees back to work and give producers a place to deliver their product,” she said. SEE XL CLOSURE, PAGE 2

E. COLI 0157:H7 E. coli, a naturally occurring bacteria, can be present in raw meat, poultry, unpasteurized milk, fruit juices, vegetables and water contaminated with human or animal waste. E. coli does not alter the smell or taste of food. Prevention: • in meats, thorough cooking kills the pathogen. Always cook ground beef to 71 C/160 F • wash hands before and after handling food and frequently while cooking • avoid cross contamination of food by washing utensils, plates and cutting boards that have contacted raw meat and poultry • wash all raw fruits and vegetables before preparation and consumption, and refrigerate or freeze foods promptly Symptoms and treatment: • symptoms appear within three to four days of consumption and can include severe stomach cramps, diarrhea, vomiting, nausea and headache. There is little or no fever • most symptoms resolve within 10 days with no medication, but some require antibiotics and hospitalization. Dehydration is a common risk • rare complications include kidney failure, seizures, strokes or death Sources: CFIA, Health Canada | WP GRAPHIC

Olson said CFIA investigators are also using provincial laboratories for additional testing. “The capacity of testing has been ramped up considerably. That is to expedite the process so we can get the plant open as soon as possible,” he said. In the meantime, feeder cattle are coming off pasture and moving to market while feedlots must find other plants to accept their finished cattle. Consequently, prices are starting to drop. “There will be increased interest from American packers because of the situation, and it will lead to higher exports of fed cattle,” said Dave Solverson, vice-president of the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association and a rancher from Camrose. “We sell at a discount to the U.S. already, and it’s quite likely to increase.” Feedlots have room to accept new cattle, but the uncertainty of when finished cattle can move is affecting the entire supply chain, he said. “The urgency today is with the fed cattle, but the urgency in the coming weeks could quickly shift to the whole industry,” he said. “It is only a matter of days before it could be a crisis.” Cattle that should have been killed the week the plant closed were pushed back, although the amount of fat cattle offered for sale in the past week was not large. Alberta Beef Producers chair Doug Sawyer said price reports are variable on yearlings and cows. “I have been watching the yearling calf market because I’ve got to market some animals and it has been a bit sketchy. It has been hit and miss,” he said. Canfax reported that the weighted average steer price was $2 per hundredweight lower for the week ending Sept. 28 than the previous week. Many feedlots did not sell in hopes prices would improve. Last week’s cash to futures basis closed the week at -14.60. FOR A RELATED STORY, SEE PAGE 3

FOOD SAFETY | MEAT RECALL

Speed makes food safety more difficult: union Massive beef recall | Food processor loses licence amid food safety issues, puts 2,200 employees in job limbo BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

A massive beef recall that led to the temporary closure of the XL Foods processing plant in Brooks, Alta., shows inherent problems with modern meat processing, says a union official. Potential E. coli O157:H7 contamination has resulted in the recall of m ore t ha n 400 X L p ro d u c ts i n Canada and the United States. Tom Hesse of the United Food and Commercial Workers, local 401, said XL Foods promised it would address sanitation for workers and processing equipment during labour negotiations last year. “We said to the company that there were critical food safety issues and we negotiated a whistleblower clause so employees could speak to outside agencies regarding production in the plants and food safety practices.” Hesse said part of the problem is the volume and speed involved in processing as many as 4,800 cattle per day. “The more quickly that line moves, more beef is ultimately sold. That systemic pursuit of production and profit is a system where food safety can really fall through the cracks.” About 2,200 people were put out of work when the Canadian Food Inspection Agency pulled the company’s licence citing a series of practices that needed attention. Hesse called it employment limbo because the workers do not know if they are laid off or when they may be called back to work. The CFIA said XL has 40 full-time inspectors and six veterinarians on the floor. Products that include ground meat and whole muscle cuts such as steaks and roasts were removed from store shelves. XL issued a short news release Oct. 1 saying consumers can return any recalled product for a full refund. It said the company is working wth the CFIA to complete the recall and assist with the investigation. It also said it was implementing enhanced food safety protocols. The CFIA has posted a timeline of

The first signs of trouble appeared Sept. 4 when the food safety inspection service in the U.S. tested raw boneless trim imported from XL and confirmed a positive E. coli result. It informed the CFIA and additional testing began. Food recalls started Sept. 16. About 400 products are on the recall list with the most recent being whole muscle cuts. Recalled products were manufactured on Aug. 24, 27, 28, 29 and Sept. 5. The agency says further trace outs and more recalls may occur because further processors may have bought and distributed the meat. The plant was closed Sept. 27 when the CFIA in a televised statement said adequate controls for food safety were not fully implemented in the facility and a number of deficiencies needed to be addressed. XL Foods will not resume operations until the agency is satisfied with the facility’s ability to effectively

manage food safety risks. Industry and government officials say this incident is not a failure in the overall food inspection system. “When you think about the volume of food that is produced and the volume of beef that is produced in this province, it is very impressive that we have such a great safety record,” said Alberta agriculture minister Verlyn Olson. “This is a very serious incident, and I would caution people against starting to think about the whole system having failed somehow.” Strict food safety procedures are standard throughout North America, said Canada Beef Inc. chair Chuck MacLean. “Every one of these organizations are focused on food safety,” he said. “This is one processor who happens to be one of the largest in Canada. It is disappointing when these types of things happen.” MacLean said he is not concerned about who found the original infection.

“Does it matter that a U.S. or Canadian inspector found it? To me what matters is that combined, they do a good job of tracking this product,” he said. “Nobody wants to have this happen and nobody wants anybody to get sick. In everybody’s business, errors get made and that is sad.” Past recalls and incidents of food poisoning have taught industry the hard way about the importance of sanitation and prevention. “For a dangerous pathogen like this, prevention is absolutely the most important thing. “You do not want to have to do a recall. That is putting people at risk,” said Jeremy Russell of the North American Meat Association. “You want to do everything you can that would prevent the situation that requires a recall.” The first major E. coli food scare happened when the restaurant chain Jack in the Box sold improperly cooked burgers at an outlet in Wash-

ington state in 1993. About 400 people were sickened and three children died. The case prompted international research and implementation of improved food safety practices at packing plants and restaurants. Education, best practices programs, testing programs, inspections, interventions and sanitation standards are now the norm. Research ramped up as a result of that case, and government regulations were changed to allow practices such as steam pasteurization and organic acid washes. “Back in the late 1980s and early 1990s, they still trimmed everything with a knife, and when you are dealing with invisible microscopic organisms, that is not the most effective way to assure safety,” Russell said. “Those processing aids are what really have the most impact on any pathogens. In the last 20 years, they have become industry standard.”

Agriculture, rural Sask. infrastructure on premier’s priority list

Cargill plans canola crusher for Alberta

The Saskatchewan government plans to announce a new growth plan later this month BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Agriculture will be a key focus when the Saskatchewan government announces its growth plan later this month. The plan will set out how the province can handle the challenges and opportunities of strong economic and population growth. The province saw its biggest yearover-year growth since 1921, growing by 22,154 people between July 1, 2011 and July 1, 2012. Premier Brad Wall said agriculture doesn’t always get the credit it deserves, even with the Saskatchewan Party’s rural roots. “I think even our government with its rural base and strong representation in rural Saskatchewan has fallen into the same sort of thought pattern around agriculture that I think the whole province has — except for about 35,000 to 40,000 farmers — and that is that farming is an important part of the economy but it’s a vocation. And for some it’s an avocation,” he told reporters. Agriculture chugs along while other sectors such as energy and mining take the spotlight, but Wall said the province’s dominant position in exports of lentils, peas, canola and cereals, as well as market dominance in China and Indonesia,makes it obvious that agriculture will continue to be a significant economic engine. “It’s a huge advantage for us in a world that desperately wants food security,” he said. “We need to make sure that the infrastructure is there, certainly, in all parts of the province.” That includes roads and communication infrastructure in rural areas. The province has boosted funding to the Saskatchewan Trade and Export Partnership to help its members, many of them rural, get their products into new markets, and will continue to promote trade relationships, particularly in Asia. “In a demonopolized wheat board situation, we need to be in those markets like we were in Indonesia and in Singapore, where grain traders want to know what the post wheat board world is going to look like,” Wall said, referring to a recent trade mission to those countries.

Camrose close to major rail lines | Plant will be able to crush 850,000 tonnes a year BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

Cargill’s belief in the Canadian canola industry is so strong it’s “voting with its wallet” by building a multimillion dollar canola crushing facility in central Alberta, said its president. Len Penner said the investment required to build the facility large enough to crush 850,000 tonnes of canola each year demonstrates that Cargill believes in a strong future for canola. “This is a commitment for many, many years,” said Penner, during the announcement of the plant just outside Camrose Oct. 1. The plant must pass local bylaws and regulatory hurdles, but it is expected to be finished for the 201415 harvest. The facility is designed to crush generic and specialty canola oil. Fo r f a r m e r To d d Ha m e s, t h e announcement of the crushing plant is good news for canola producers across the Prairies, especially with its ability to crush specialty canola oil. “With a specialty oil line, it’s going to help expand that opportunity. That’s one of the great opportunities canola has, an advantage over our competition is specialty oils,” said Hames, president of the Canadian Canola Growers Association. “It’s fantastic to get a new crusher built anywhere on the Prairies and being that it’s in the canola belt is great news,” said Hames of Marwayne, Alta., who grew all specialty canola on his eastern Alberta farm this year. “This here will open up opportunities for Alberta producers for the specialty oil.” Dan Bentley, who sold the quarter of land to Cargill, said the new facility will provide another outlet for his canola and a strong future for the crop. “Do you think Cargill would spend hundreds of millions to build this facility if they aren’t confident in the industry?” Mark Stonacek, president of Cargill’s Grain and Oilseed Supply Chain, North America, said the company is optimistic about the growth and competitiveness of canola in Canada. In addition to its Camrose plans, the company also recently announced plans to expand its Clavet, Sask., facility. Stonacek said farmers have continued to increase the amount of canola grown on the Prairies, but the company has also seen continued demand for the oil in North American and overseas. “We have a belief that canola will continue to be a competitive crop for Canada and we thought there was an opportunity for more valueadded processing here in Canada,” he said. “We started looking at where is the next best place for an additional canola processing plant in Canada. We really like the quantity of seed grown here in the area relative to the amount of processing capacity here,” said Stonacek, of Minnesota. The crushed canola will be shipped to its Clavet facility for further pro-

Ken Stone, Cargill’s manager of Oilseed Processing and Merchandising said Camrose was also selected because both CN and CP lines run through the east-central Alberta community. “This happens to be a piece of land between two major railways. It gives

us good rail and road access,” said Stone, of Winnipeg. Patti Miller, president of the Canola Council of Canada, welcomed the increased activity in the industry that the new facility is bound to bring. “It means there will be more produ c t p ro c e s s e d h e re a n d m o re employment, more jobs and more opportunities for people who grow

canola,” said Miller. Don Gregorwich, reeve of Camrose County, said the long-term benefits for rural Alberta are extensive. “Economically it will have a tremendous benefit, not only for canola growers, but it will also have spin-off benefits in all those industries associated with growing and transporting canola.”

Group hopes to beef up buckwheat demand Good cropping option | Manitoba acreage is rising as more growers look to a break from their canola-wheat-canola rotation BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

It wasn’t a great year for buckwheat on Marc Durand’s farm near Notre Dame de Lourdes, Man., yet his buckwheat outperformed a crop with a much higher profile. “In a year like this year, I was further ahead with my buckwheat than I was with my canola,” said Durand, who runs Durand Seeds and is president of the Manitoba Buckwheat Growers Association. “The canola this year I sprayed for flea beetles, blackleg and sclerotinia. All those costs add up, and your fertilizer is double the cost it is for buckwheat.” Durand’s buckwheat crop, which was harvested in September, had the look of an excellent crop two months ago. However, hot weather and a lack of rain in August and September knocked it down to an average crop. “The seed set this year was very good. There was lots of seed there, but it ran out of moisture at the end (of the growing season),” Durand said. “Volume wise, it was there, but it’s awfully light, so dockage will be high … a lot of unfilled seed.” Manitoba producers insured 11,500 acres of buckwheat in 2012, more than double the 5,000 acres that had become the norm in the province in the late 2000s. This year’s buckwheat crop will likely be slightly below average, said Rejean Picard, a production adviser with Manitoba Agriculture. The average buckwheat yield in Manitoba is 20 bushels per acre. “If we would have had some nice rains in August during the maturing portion of the buckwheat crop, they would’ve had a tremendous (crop).” However, Picard said buckwheat crops could yield more this year in southwestern Manitoba, where soil moisture reserves are high thanks to

excessive precipitation in 2011. The increase in acres has led to a decrease in price because Manitoba growers produce most of the buckwheat in Canada. Nestibo Agra, a processor in Deloraine, Man., was offering buckwheat contracts at $15 per bushel this spring. “Right now … I’d be at that $13 to $14 per bushel (range),” said Mike Durand, sales manager with Nestibo Agra. “So it’s backed off a little bit, but I’m still looking for some.” Though it varies from year to year,

about half of Manitoba’s buckwheat crop goes to Japan for the soba noodle market and the remainder is sold to North American millers.

RESEARCH | GENETICALLY MODIFIED WHEAT

Accidental GM wheat surprises with 30 percent yield hike BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Genetically modified wheat research is off to a promising start on the other side of the globe. Scientists at Australia’s Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO), while attempting to make a wheat with an enhanced starch profile, came up with a line of genetically modified wheat that yields 30 percent more than check varieties in greenhouse trials. “With this technology we see more vigorous wheat with increased vegetative growth, larger seed heads and larger seed,” Bruce Lee, director of CSIRO’s Food Futures Flagship, said in a news release. “If we can achieve significant yield increases in the field, this will have a major impact on food production on a global scale.”

The centre did not respond to interview requests. Kevin Bender, president of the Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association, said it’s an exciting development. “Yield always tends to be the driver. That’s what attracts farmers to new varieties. How does it yield? Is it going to give me more bushels than anything else? Something like 30 percent, that’s big,” he said. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, global wheat yields have increased by less than one percent per year, so a variety that boosts output by 30 percent would likely be well received by growers who are not opposed to GM wheat. “To make a big jump like that would be amazing,” said Bender. GM wheat research suffered a setb a c k i n 2 0 0 4 w h e n Mo n s a n t o shelved its Roundup Ready wheat

project. But in the last few years, some seed technology companies have started biotech wheat programs, including Monsanto. Bender is concerned that he sees no GM wheat research conducted in Canada. He worries Canada will be “left in the dust” by countries like Australia, where extensive work is happening on GM wheat. But he believes the open market will provide a more favourable environment for that type of research

because the Canadian Wheat Board, which was a vocal opponent to Roundup Ready wheat, has a smaller role in the industry. Debbie Miller, president of the Organic Connections conference, doesn’t see any evidence of a more welcoming environment for GM wheat research in Canada. “I see lots of people getting more concerned about GMOs and lots of people supporting moves to mandatory GM labelling,” she said. Miller believes there is still no business case for the crop because many important European customers don’t want anything to do with it. “Why would you want to invest energy in developing something that your customers don’t want,” she said. “It doesn’t matter if it yields three percent or 300 percent more if it’s not what the market wants.” But an Australian research consortium believes there will be a market

for the crop. CSIRO, Bayer CropScience and the Australian Grains Research and Development Corp. have joined forces to support the next stage of development for the promising line of Australian GM wheat. Wheat yields haven’t kept up with corn and soybean yields but it remains a staple crop that will be needed to feed what is expected to be nine billion mouths by 2050 and it is still an important crop in rotations with total global production averaging about 650 million tonnes per year. “Increasing wheat yields under the water limited environments that Australian growers face is a significant driver for (the Australian Grains Research and Development Corporations),” GRDC managing director John Harvey said in a news release. “This yield technology is an exciting discovery that could lead to a significant impact on wheat productivity.”

Canola demand exceeds supply

Harvest pressure | Market focus switches to demand as U.S. yields prove better than expected

Disappointing crop | Heat, wind and disease have slashed supply and analysts expect demand rationing

Crop prices are down from summer highs, but leading market analysts think the slump might be ending. Most think the price highs won’t be repeated or exceeded this year, but some think 2013 could see a higher peak. “I think we have a fairly firm bottom in the grain markets right now,” said David Hightower, the author of the much-read Hightower Report. Alan Brugler of Brugler Marketing a n d Ma n a g e m e n t i n O m a h a , Nebraska, thinks the traditional harvest sell-off may end early. “I think there’s still some opportunity here for some upside. A 50 percent retracement off this recent drop is possible,” said Brugler. “(But) it’s going to be tough to get back to the highs.” The big three U.S. crop markets — soybeans, corn and winter wheat — are grappling with a bewildering variety of influences, including the traditional harvest market, the aftereffects of a huge summer rally, global macroeconomic anxieties, a weakening commodity market and spring seeding in the southern hemisphere. Canadian crop prices generally follow American price trends, with canola following Chicago soybeans and soy oil, spring wheat following Minneapolis wheat and barley linked to Chicago corn. Prices often fall at harvest as farmers deliver to elevators right off the combine. That could be the cause of much of the present markets weakness, but U.S. corn and soybeans yields are also better than expected. “Yields are coming in a little bit better than expected,” said Rich Nelson of Allendale, Inc. “That’s general. It’s everywhere.” The record grain market rally of 2012 is likely over, Nelson said. “Rallies based on production concerns don’t last,” he said. “Once the market has a supply estimate out, the market usually does decline.” Arlan Suderman of Water Street Solutions in Peoria, Illinois, thinks there’s still a chance prices will slump further this fall, regardless of recent hints of stabilization. “If we don’t hold support levels now, just below the market, we could see another leg lower just because it’s feeding on itself,” said Suderman.

Prices could stabilize and prepare for recovery if the sell-off from recent high prices stimulates demand. “I think we’re overdone on the negative demand story for both corn and soybeans,” said Hightower. “Now we’re (likely) to see the Chinese come back in.” It’s not just Chinese buying that could drive prices higher. Many analysts say today’s prices, while high from an historial viewpoint, are not discouraging demand, especially for soybean and wheat. Soybean crush marg i n s a re sti l l g o od , e xp o r t demand is strong and governments in many countries are worried about running short of bread. That’s why Suderman, regardless of his short-term caution, is bullish about soybeans and thinks new highs are possible, although more likely in 2013. “For soybeans, I still believe we’re going to go to new highs,” said Suderman. “When I look at supply and demand, and $17 soybeans did not slow demand, and I look at the global situation, I still believe there is a strong push and we are going to see a strong rebound as we get closer and deeper into the new (calendar and crop) years and test the highs and maybe go to new highs.” Many bullish analysts predicted $19 per bushel soybeans during the peak of the summer rally, and they’re still doing so. Wheat is also attracting bullish interest. Corn is the laggard, with few predicting it will lead the market up the way it did in midsummer. It is not a

food product like wheat and is not a protein product like soybeans. It is mostly an animal feed, and many investors don’t panic about short supplies of pig and cattle feed. As well, demand disappears when prices go high. “Corn demand is horrible,” said Nelson. Suderman noted speculative funds showed little interest in corn during the summer rally despite razor-thin stocks, but have continuing interest in wheat. “The funds never did buy into the bullish story with corn,” said Suderman. “Wheat can have a much weaker story than corn, and they’ll jump right on the bandwagon as long as they have some headlines to support that. Wheat fundamentals are

weaker than corn, but that’s not the perception.” Many analysts are now cautiously optimistic about prices, although few expect more than stabilization and some price recovery this year. However, 2013 could get interesting if today’s lower prices drive demand. “(For new highs,) you’d have to have a big use response to this big drop in prices, thereby saying we didn’t do enough rationing,” said Brugler. “We have tight (supply and demand fundamentals). You have to surprise, making them even tighter, or you have to have a problem with next year’s crop.” That’s why the focus is now on demand and South American weather.

Analysts think canola could rally along with soybeans in the coming months, given the steadily eroding supply. Charlie Pearson, Alberta Agriculture crops market analyst, said there won’t be enough canola to meet the demand in 2012-13. “We’re just trying to sort out how tight tight is,” he said. Analysts had forecast 16.4 million tonnes of canola before farmers started harvest and discovered extensive disease, heat and wind damage. Pearson believes the crop has shrunk to 13 million tonnes, well below Statistics Canada’s July estimate of 15.4 million tonnes. His estimate is in line with that of Weber Commodities, which forecasts 13.1 million tonnes. Others are much higher. Oil World predicts 15 million tonnes, while FarmLink Marketing Solutions sees 14.7 million tonnes. Statistics Canada will release its new estimate Oct. 4, which is past The Western Producer’s publication deadline. Pearson said there will have to be demand rationing. Crushers want more than seven million tonnes while exporters could easily take eight million tonnes. There is also potential for canola to ride soybean’s shirttails as that oilseed heads toward what some analysts think will be another rally. Oil World said soybean prices could reach $20 per bushel in the next few months preceding the South American harvest, shattering the previous record of $17.95 set Sept. 4. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

In Minnesota, the bean numbers are off the charts. It’s just absolutely unbelievable. I never saw it coming. It’s an absolutely fantastic bean crop. PETE MEYER PIRA ENERGY GROUP

Pete Meyer, agricultural commodity analyst with PIRA Energy Group, thinks that is feasible despite reports of higher-thanexpected U.S. soybean yields. “Can (soybeans) get to $19? Yeah. Will they get to $20? I think it’s going to take a long time,” he said. Meyer recently scouted fields to check reports that late summer rain added bushels to the U.S. soybean crop. He thinks the U.S. Department of Agriculture yield estimates are where they should be in Iowa and Illinois but too low in some of the northern tier states. “In Minnesota, the bean numbers are off the charts. It’s just absolutely unbelievable. I never saw it coming. It’s an absolutely fantastic bean crop,” said Meyer. However, Minnesota, while the third largest soybean producer, has only nine percent of the seeded crop. If it were to add even 20 bu. per acre to the yield estimate, that’s only 140 million more bushels, which t he ma rket c a n e asi l y absorb. China appears to have an insatiable demand for U.S. soybeans. “I don’t think that’s sustainable. We just don’t have the crop to meet China’s demand,” he said. Meyer believes prices will start rebounding as soon as the third week of October and could reach a new high in the March futures contract in January or February. However, prices for the May, July and August soybean futures contracts are all in the $14 to $15 range because analysts expect a massive South American soybean harvest. Meyer notes those forecasts are based on ideal weather. He is certain canola will participate in the anticipated short-term soybean rally because U.S. crushers have told him they’re eyeing up canola when they run out of soybeans. “I definitely think that there is going to be some upward pressure on canola prices as well when the bean market turns around.” Pearson said his only reservation on getting too bullish on canola is that soybean rallies have been driven by the meal market while the vegetable oil market, which has a greater impact on canola prices, has been ho-hum. “That is perhaps the one fly in the ointment,” he said. Peterson’s key message to growers is to start establishing target prices where they are willing to sell canola, such as marketing a portion of the crop the next time prices reach $14 a bu. “It could blast right through $14, but just have some discipline.” Growers concerned about cash flow or spoilage should sell if they can lock in a good basis. Those with a bullish outlook may want to consider buying calls or using other marketing tools. “They don’t necessarily have to keep it in the bin to participate in higher prices,” he said.

Hog producers reduce farrowing USDA Hogs and Pigs report | Pork prices are high but high feed costs are eating profits BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Hog farmers are doing what they can to align themselves with the markets, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s most recent quarterly Hogs and Pigs report. However, expensive feedgrains will likely delay a return to profitability until late next spring. T h e re p o r t re l e a s e d S e p t. 2 8 showed American farmers cutting back on breeding for the next halfyear. However, the USDA grain stocks report released the same day found significantly less corn than expected just a few weeks ago. The corn stocks sent corn prices shooting higher Sept. 28, worsening the profit outlook for hog producers. Some of the damage was offset Oct. 1 when corn was fairly steady but hog prices rose. October lean hog futures rose by 37 cents, the December contract rose $1.45 and February rose $1.73 . However, the razor-thin corn stocks underline the seriousness of the squeeze that hog farmers face until next spring. “What we really need is a big corn crop next summer,” said Ron Plain, a livestock economist with the University of Missouri. The USDA found that hog farmers had only slightly cut their breeding stock numbers by the beginning of September but were planning to cut back farrowing for the next six months. Farrowings were down 1.2 percent from June to August, and farmers intended to farrow 2.7 percent fewer sows in September to November and 1.5 percent less from December to February. That was larger than most analysts had predicted, so it was good news on the hog price front. However, it was hard for hog producers to celebrate after seeing corn prices go limit-up earlier in the day. Ironically, most analysts see the

problem with the hog industry as having too few sows and not enough meat coming to market in the next year or two. Pork prices are high, demand is booming and consumers appear willing to eat whatever farmers produce. The present problem facing growers is solely a product of radically higher feedgrain prices caused by the U.S. drought. “Next year the outlook for hogs and cattle … the markets will get so short of supply that they’ll have to have a huge reaction,” said David Hightower, primary analyst for the Hightower

Report. “We’re facing a huge protein shortage.” Hightower said the extremely high price of feedgrains robs producers of profits, despite extremely high pork prices. That discourages farmers from producing more pigs, even though supply and demand fundamentals should be excellent once the drought impact has passed. The volatility undermines farmers’ confidence that they can invest in farming and succeed. “(Buyers) need to keep prices high and stay high,” he said. Hightower just toured China, arguing in speeches that commodity prices are much too low to produce the amounts that China needs. Buyers still believe commodity prices are high, which makes them leery of paying more. As a result, they often allow future prices fall to a level that discourages production, setting up more volatility in the future.

“This is going to foster swings in volatility,” he said. “Hogs and beef sometime in the next 18 months, at some point, they’re going to have to really rally in order to get that production up.” Analyst Alan Brugler of Omaha, Nebraska, had a similar outlook on the confusing signals being sent to farmers by high prices and demand but also high losses. “We really don’t want to see the North American pork production cut back that much further,” said Brugler. European farmers are reducing production and the Chinese government is trying to encourage its producers to breed fewer sows, he added. Plain said hog farmers are acting rationally when they reduce farrowing, but their production is only half the equation and inadequate to return them to profitability. “It’s a cutback, but it’s not a large cutback,” said Plain. “It’s not large enough to offset the feed prices.”

CANOLA | PRODUCTION

Can canola growers meet new demand? MARKET WATCH

D’ARCE McMILLAN

Will additional demand see rotations shortened and cause disease threat?

argill’s announcement of a new crushing plant at Camrose is great news for canola growers, but growing domestic demand presents a challenge. After the big jump in canola processing at the start of the decade in

Saskatchewan, led by Cargill, Louis Dreyfus and Richardson, a new round of expansion is in full swing. In addition to Cargill’s Camrose plant, which will have an 850,000 tonne capacity, Bunge is doubling the size of its plants in Altona, Man., and Fort Saskatchewan, Alta., adding a total of 900,000 tonnes of crush capacity. Also, Richardson has announced a 25 percent expansion to its Yorkton, Sask. plant, adding another 160,000 tonnes of crush capacity. There is also a new crushing plant under construction in Washington state and one recently opened in Minnesota just south of Manitoba. Both will take Canadian canola. These projects will cause domestic demand to jump by about two million tonnes even as export demand for seed remains strong.

Can growers increase production without creating a disease problem with the potential to kill the golden goose? Seeded area grew to 21.3 million acres this year, almost double the amount 10 years ago. Disease this summer was a bigger problem than normal on that record area. The weather was nearly ideal for disease development, but shortened rotations also played a part. How far can producers push their rotations? Western Producer reporters Robert Arnason and Barb Glen are researching whether there are limits to canola production in Canada. Look for a special report in November.

WHEAT | RUSSIAN EXPORTS

Stalled Russian wheat exports to benefit Canada Exports to fall to eight million tonnes | Production problems in other parts of the world will send buyers to North America point where it costs more to move wheat to export position than it does to ship it to Russian cities. The U.S. Department of Agriculture expects eight million tonnes of Russian wheat exports, down from 21.6 million tonnes in 2011-12. That will leave a lot of its customers in the Middle East and North Africa searching for alternative suppliers. The problem is that some of the usual candidates like Ukraine, the European Union and Australia have all had production problems.

Russia’s exit from the wheat market is likely only weeks away, says an industry analyst. “By the end of this month they’ll be a real non-entity in exporting wheat,” said Neil Townsend, director of CWB Market Research. He doesn’t know if it will be a formal exit in the form of a government imposed export ban or tariff or just market forces at work. Russia is rapidly approaching the

Townsend said it’s unlikely Canada would get business from Egypt but it could see more sales to Turkey, which is one of the world’s biggest flour exporters. The USDA forecasts Canada’s wheat exports will rise 1.9 million tonnes from 2011-12 and U.S. sales will jump 4.4 million tonnes.

Townsend thinks the incremental increase in U.S. exports could be closer to six or seven million tonnes. “When all the buyers start to show up in North America demanding wheat, then you’ll see the prices rise,” he said. “Wheat has another rally in it.” The question is, what will be the starting point of that rally? The entire grain complex could be lower than it is today if South America harvests 150 million tonnes of soybeans. However, Townsend said wheat

CWB predicts large crop in most areas Production estimates show 20 million tonnes of wheat BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Western Canadian farmers who are already enjoying near-record prices for cereal grains are also on track to produce one of their biggest crops in years. Bruce Burnett, a weather and crop specialist with CWB, said last week that 2012 production of wheat, durum and barley in western Canada is likely to surpass levels in 2010 and 2011. With the exception of dry areas in southeastern Manitoba and B.C.’s Peace River region, most prairie farmers are benefitting from good growing conditions and ample mois-

prices could head up after the market comes to grips with the southern hemisphere’s wheat harvest, which starts toward the end of November. The USDA forecast Australia’s wheat crop at 26 million tonnes, down 12 percent from last year, and Argentina’s at 11.5 million tonnes, down 23 percent. Private forecasters peg Australia’s crop even smaller. A disappointing southern hemisphere crop will make buyers even more reliant on U.S. and Canadian wheat. Townsend believes Brazil could be in the market for an additional one to two million tonnes of North American wheat. “By the time Brazil needs it, there will be nobody left to sell them wheat. The only market they can come to is Canada or the U.S.,” he said.

WHEAT | CWB PROGRAM

CWB pleased with response to early delivery pool The Harvest Pool deadline is Oct. 31 BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

CWB officials are pleased with the amount of grain committed to the early delivery pool. Gord Flaten, CWB’s vice-president of grain procurement, said volumes committed to the EDP are in line with the agency’s expectations. The original deadline to commit grain to the pool was Sept. 28 but a high volume of farmer sign-ups on the final day prompted CWB to extend the sign-up deadline to Oct 2. Flaten did not say how much grain the EDP was expected to handle, but said grain volumes were “quite good.” “We do have … (an EDP) figure that we use internally just to make sure that we’re managing sign-ups relative to capacity, but it’s not something that we’re releasing publicly,” he said. The EDP is the voluntary wheat board’s first effort at marketing pooled grain in a deregulated market. Flaten said CWB’s commercial grain handling agreements limit how much grain can be signed up to the EDP. “We need to be sure that we don’t exceed our capacity to move that volume before the end of the pool (delivery period), at the end of January,” he said. Farmers still have the option of committing grain to the CWB’s Harvest Pool, which is expected to handle a larger volume than the EDP, he added. The Harvest Pool deadline is Oct. 31. It will handle canola as well as wheat and barley.

CANFAX REPORT FED PRICES FALL Cattle markets were hammered last week by falling futures, beef recalls by XL Foods because of E. coli contamination and then the temporary closure of the XL Foods plant in Brooks, Alta. The week’s weighted average steer price fell $2 per hundredweight to $106.57, the lowest seen so far this year. Heifers on average fell $1.36 to $106.21. Many feedlots abstained from trade or passed cattle, hoping prices would improve. Several U.S. packers were active in the Canadian market, but no significant cash sales were reported other than formula pricing. The cash-to-futures basis narrowed to -$13.91 from -$14.60. Weekly fed exports to Sept. 15 were up 47 percent from the previous week at 7,524 head.

The XL Foods beef recall and weaker U.S. market pushed cattle prices down. Weekly western Canadian slaughter to Sept. 22 rose six percent to 35,352 head. Fed prices are expected to trend steady to slightly lower on a weak basis until the XL Lakeside plant is recertified. Alberta packers have comfortable supply and American packer inventories are getting longer.

COW PRICES DOWN The XL Beef ground beef recall has had the biggest effect on cows. Non-fed values fell $5.75-$6.75 per cwt. over the past two weeks. D1, D2 cows fell below $70 per cwt.

for the first time since January. Auction volumes are tightening as falling prices slow marketings. Rail bids were generally $7 lower at $133-$138. Butcher bulls traded lower. Weekly non-fed exports to Sept. 15 totalled 4,945, up 36 percent. Supply is increasing, which will pressure prices.

FEEDERS MIXED A good mix of yearlings and calves were reported through commercial auctions and trading via electronic sales. The Canfax average steer price was $1.01 per cwt. higher while heifers eased 70 cents. Mid-weight steers and heifers were steady to $2 lower while 900 pound and heavier feeders were steady. Lighter steer calf prices rose. Eastern buyer interest was reported

with strong demand for select packages of feeders. Average prices are now at the lowest levels of this year, despite 500-700 pound heifers trading generally $2 higher than the same time last year. Auction volume totalled 28,821, up nine percent from the previous week. Weekly feeder exports to Sept. 15 totalled 1,172, up 12 percent. A few forward delivery contracts for December were reported: 965 lb. steers and 850 lb. heifers in Saskatchewan were priced at $128.75 and $130.25, respectively. Feeder values are anticipated to trend below year ago levels over the next couple of weeks. Weakness in the fed market and extensive feeding losses could further dull demand for bunk replacements. Bids on yearling cattle softened late in the week and the softer trend is anticipated to continue this week.

BEEF PRICES DIVE U.S. processors were willing to sell at lower prices to move product and cutouts fell $2.95-$3.75 per cwt, pressured by less expensive pork, low consumer demand and the prospect of seasonally increasing supplies. Retailers are generally short bought but could opt to take on more inventory with holiday buying just around the corner. Weekly Canadian cut-out values to Sept. 21 plunged an unprecedented $10.63. The Montreal wholesale was unavailable. This cattle market information is selected from the weekly report from Canfax, a division of the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association. More market information, analysis and statistics are available by becoming a Canfax subscriber by calling 403275-5110 or at www.canfax.ca.

WP LIVESTOCK REPORT HOG VALUES RISE Hog prices continued to rebound from their seasonal low. Market ready supply is edging lower, and U.S. packers are starting to step back from the large Saturday kills that they had early in September. Cut-out values rose. The Sept. 1 hogs and pigs report indicates that fourth quarter U.S. hog slaughter will be close to last year’s level and slaughter in the first quarter of 2013 will be down 0.5 percent.

Iowa-southern Minnesota hogs rose to $56.50 US per cwt. Sept. 28, up from $53 Sept. 21. The U.S. composite pork carcass cut-out value was $80.49 Sept. 28, up from $77.84 Sept. 21. U.S. slaughter for the week fell to 2.345 million from 2.406 million the previous week, but up from 2.253 million a year ago.

said grade A bulls in the desirable weight range were $3.65-$3.90 per pound hot hanging weight. Grade A heifers were $3.55-$3.80. Animals older than 30 months and those outside the desirable weight range may be discounted. Slaughter cows and bulls averaged $1.60-$2.50.

LAMBS PRICES RISE BISON STEADY The Canadian Bison Association

Beaver Hill Auction in Tofield, Alta., reported 829 sheep and 253 goats

sold Sept. 24. Wool lambs lighter than 70 lb. were $116-$128 per cwt., 70-85 lb. were $108-$125, 86-105 lb. were $103$116 and 106 lb. and heavier were $100-$106. Wool rams were $55-$61 per cwt. Cull ewes were $40-$53. Hair lambs lighter than 70 lb. were $116-$126 per cwt., 70-85 lb. were $108-$121, 86-105 lb. were $100$110 and 106 lb. and heavier were $90-$101. Hair rams were $50-$79 per cwt.

Cull ewes were $40-$50. Good kid goats lighter than 50 lb. were $165-$235. Those heavier than 50 lb. were $175-$235 per cwt. Nannies were $40-$75 per cwt. Billies were $100$137.50. Ontario Stockyards Inc. reported that 1,231 sheep and lambs and 60 goats traded Sept. 24. Light lambs traded $15-$20 cwt. higher, while heavies were $7-$10 cwt. stronger.

XL FOODS LTD. | CONSUMER RELATIONS

CRAIG’S VIEW

XL Foods failure to inform may have long-term impact

eef languishes in grocery store coolers this week as consumers, wary of meat recalls in the wake of E. coli detection in Canadian beef, choose other meat for their tables. The temporary licence suspension of XL Foods Inc. in Brooks, Alta., one of the largest federally inspected cattle processing plants in Canada, has widespread repercussions for the cattle production chain. Prompt corrective action and reopening of the plant would be the best-case scenario at time of this writing. That, and an explanation from XL. As of last week, at least nine people were sick with E. coli, although links to beef from the XL plant had not been established. Prices for fed cattle dropped upon news of the plant closure, and finished cattle had to be shipped elsewhere or kept longer on feed, creating additional expense for feedlots. In Brooks, 2,200 workers were in limbo while XL plant operators worked to implement Canadian Food Inspection Agency directives. The CFIA continued to issue recall notices for an expanding list of XLsourced meat that reached grocery stores across Canada and the United States. The U.S. closed its borders to meat from the plant, prompting accusations from American protectionist groups that Canadian food inspection is lax. Federal and provincial politicians focused attention on the matter, in Parliament and in news conferences and meetings. And consumers avoided grocery store beef. Through it all, the key voice was silent. XL Foods officials did not comment publicly on the situation and issued a terse news release Oct. 1. Lack of explanation made a bad situation worse. Consumers and the entire cattle industry need reassurance that the plant is taking steps to remedy the E. coli problem, that it has reliable safeguards in place and that beef is safe to eat. Plant officials also owe the public an explanation for how and why the E. coli

contamination occurred. Brian and Lee Nilsson, owners of XL, have always been reticent with media, even before purchase of the meat processing plant put them into the national and international beef business. XL is a private company, and its public relations strategy, or lack thereof, is for the owners to determine. In fairness, the plant did issue voluntary recalls before the CFIA got involved, yet inexplicably failed to comment as the recall list lengthened and CFIA revoked its licence. XL’s silence is perplexing, given the widespread fallout, the attendant health issues and possibility of long-term damage to beef consumption and hence the cattle industry. It has arguably done more damage to the business than would have been the case had it issued a public statement and indicated a plan to remedy the problem. The obvious parallel is the 2008 listeria outbreak at a Toronto area Maple Leaf Foods plant. It, too, was a food safety scare accompanied by widespread recalls and loss of consumer confidence in food safety. Maple Leaf officials were front and centre in explaining the cause of the outbreak and their actions to correct it. That event was much more severe than the XL situation appears to be. It caused 20 deaths and sickened hundreds. Yet Maple Leaf was able to recover, in part because of the openness and compassion it showed during the crisis and afterward. That same effort to keep the public informed mitigated some of the damage when BSE was first discovered in Canada. Because of it, consumers retained their confidence in domestic product. In the time lag between this writing and its publication, XL officials may make a more substantial public statement. If they do, it will be welcomed. If they don’t, it may be a long time before consumers trust their beef again. Bruce Dyck, Terry Fries, Barb Glen, D’Arce McMillan and Joanne Paulson collaborate in the writing of Western Producer editorials.

GM WHEAT | PUSH FOR ACCEPTANCE

Genetically modified wheat likely to be next battle on agricultural front NATIONAL VIEW

BARRY WILSON

oming soon to a political podium near you — a return to the debate over whether and when genetically modified wheat should be developed and put on the market. With the debate about wheat marketing structures in Canada largely behind the industry (several outstanding lawsuits notwithstanding), an international coalition of grain

organizations is preparing another public plea for political courage to begin the debate about introducing GM wheat. The call for a debate from Grain Growers of Canada and allies in the American and Australian grain industries and possibly support from Argentina and at least one European group could come later this year or early next year. It will launch a divisive and fiery debate about the alleged benefits and dangers of biotechnology in the food system. Would GM wheat be safe and consumer acceptable? From a commercial perspective, would it scare off GMadverse customers around the world where Canada’s crop is marketed? And unlike the last time this was debated in Canada a half decade ago,

one of the strongest voices against approving GM wheat will be diminished. The Canadian Wheat Board was a strong opponent, arguing that many of its customers would refuse to buy Canadian wheat if there was a chance GM product could be included deliberately or inadvertently. Now, with the loss of its monopoly, the CWB is just one of many grain company voices in the debate and a minority voice at that. Private grain and seed companies that have been working on GM wheat varieties likely will remain largely silent in the pending debate. The face of the push for approval of the product will be grain grower organizations that believe in the science and the potential of the innovation. Of course, the industry is divid-

ed and it will face its critics. More than three years ago, Canadian, American and Australian grain groups called for commercialization of GM wheat as a way to move the sector forward. They said that the industry was falling behind because of the inability to develop new varieties to increase yields, deal with climatic conditions and leave less of an environmental footprint. Those groups, with a few new outriders from other countries, are preparing to make the pitch again in an international call to action, arguing that a more productive wheat sector is crucial for the world’s goal of feeding billions more people over the next several decades. They acknowledge that the road ahead will be tough slogging, filled with GM opponents, consumer resis-

tance and government wariness. They will have to find room for producers who want to produce non-GM varieties and do not want to get caught up in GM trade restrictions. That would require an agreement on a low-level GM presence in shipments that would not trigger retaliation. And they will have to spend a decade or more trying to convince skittish customers that the product is safe, GM products are needed in a food-deficient world and scientific and regulatory controls are robust. Opponents will have their own arsenal of facts and fears. So far, the opponents have won the day around the world. Industry forces are planning a counter-attack soon. It will be a battle royal.

& OPEN FORUM PESTICIDES | PUBLIC SAFETY

JOURNALISM INTERN | BACKGROUND

Science must decide pesticide debate

Paying to farm by writing about farming

BY DOUG CHORNEY, DAVID HINTON, DON PINCOCK AND JOHN JOHNSTON

anitoba conservation minister G ord Mackintosh indicated Sept. 24 that it was all but certain the government would implement a ban on urban pesticide use in the province. It appears as though he has made up his mind before the public consultation period is even over. Mackintosh seems to be speaking out of turn before Manitobans have had their fair chance to voice their opinions. It is the government’s responsibility to hold a fair and meaningful public consultation process and not simply go through the labour-intensive and costly administrative exercise with its mind already made up. It appears that the minister’s bias is standing in the way of a proper consultation. Important public policy decisions shouldn’t be made on a political whim. They should instead be based on sound science. Unfortunately, it looks like minister Mackintosh is choosing to base his decision on misinformation rather than the weight of scientific evidence. The reality is that pesticides are one of the most regulated products you will ever come across. Before any pesticide can be sold in Canada, it must undergo an exhaustive and comprehensive scientific review and safety assessment by Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency, which is mandated to ensure the protection of human health and the environment.

Manitoba producers who want to use pesticide control products on their properties may find the public consultation process on an urban ban an open and shut case. | FILE PHOTO Recognizing the need to continue to lead in the protection of human health, the federal government reviewed and updated pesticide legislation in 2006, providing Canadians with the strongest protection on a global scale. Specifically, pesticides undergo more than 200 separate tests addressing every possible health and envi-

ronmental issue imaginable. Virtually no other product you will ever purchase has been subject to the same level of scientific scrutiny and regulatory oversight as pesticides. The government should take a closer look at what is going on in other provinces. Take Quebec, for example. After

nearly a decade of falsely claiming that products containing 2,4-D are dangerous and denying its residents the ability to use such products, the Quebec government took a major step in 2011 by conceding that “products containing 2,4-D do not pose an unacceptable risk to human health or the environment.” Earlier this year, the British Columbia Special Committee on Cosmetic Pesticide Use determined that there was not enough scientific evidence to warrant a ban on the sale and use of urban pesticides in the province, affirming its confidence in the federal regulatory process. This decision came after the committee heard from a variety of witnesses, including those from Health Canada. Manitoba would have been well served to consult with Health Canada, the federal body that regulates the sale and use of pesticides. The many Manitobans who want continued access to safe and effective pest control tools to maintain their properties will be disappointed that Mackintosh had his mind made up before the consultation process even began. We call on premier Greg Selinger to step in and show leadership on this file by putting logic before politics.

CROPS | ACREAGE OUTLOOK

New cropping options likely to continue into 2013 HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

t least three crops will see big acreage increases in Western Canada next year: soybeans, chickpeas and carinata. The question is whether the increase will be sustainable. Soybeans have quickly become an important crop in Manitoba, and not just in the Red River Valley. Early predictions call for this year’s 800,000 acres to blossom into more than a million next spring. Soybean acreage is also sizable in southeastern Saskatchewan. Most of the soybean increase will come at the expense of canola. Soybean advantages include more flooding tolerance, a low fertilizer require-

ment and less disease pressure. Soybean seed is costly, and farmers also have to add inoculant and seed treatment, but at $14 to $15 a bushel and yields of 30 and 40 bu. per acre, the returns are excellent. Breeding advances have produced earlier maturing varieties, but some observers worry about what will happen when we get a cooler than usual summer and a killing frost in early September. Chickpeas have had a great year in the brown soil zone of Saskatchewan and Alberta. Good moisture in the spring followed by lots of heat in July and August are just what the doctor ordered. A decade ago, Saskatchewan chickpeas spiked to more than a million acres and then collapsed because of extreme disease pressure and a big drop in world prices. New varieties have been developed since then with better disease tolerance, and new fungicides have been registered. Multiple spray applications are commonplace on many crops these days, and producers are

more willing to spend money to make money. Cool, wet summers with an early frost have replaced disease as the biggest risk. A lot of the crop in 2010 ended up as livestock feed, but this year the quality is excellent and returns eclipse most other cropping options. Kabuli chickpea yields of more than 2,000 pounds per acre are routinely being reported. Overall price is often in the 33 to 35 cent per lb. range, depending on whether the seed is seven, eight or nine millimetres. Chickpeas are extremely profitable, even with the high cost of planting seed and applying fungicides. Look for acreage to continue increasing, but don’t expect anything like the previous unsustainable explosion. Brassica carinata is a brand new cropping option. In the same family as canola and mustard, carinata is being championed by the biotech company Agrisoma for the oil’s potential as a bio-jet fuel. Carinata, also known as Ethiopian mustard, takes longer to

mature than canola, but it survives hot, dry conditions better. In 2012, Agrisoma contracted with 40 growers who each grew 100 to 200 acres of the crop. Most growers had good results. Yields of 30 and even 40 bu. per acre were attained. At a price of $12.50 per bu., plus a new crop incentive of $40 per acre, most growers are pleased. Agrisoma has not announced the contract details for 2013, but the company is targeting a 10-fold acreage increase. At 50,000 to 75,000 acres, carinata will still be a minor acreage crop, but that could change dramatically in subsequent years if all the pieces fall into place on the aviation fuel side of the equation. At this juncture, it’s easy to predict that soybeans, chickpeas and carinata will see significant 2013 acreage increases in Western Canada. It’s much less clear what will happen to those crops beyond next year. Kevin Hursh is an agricultural journalist, consultant and farmer. He can be reached by e-mail at kevin@hursh.ca.

EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

ROBIN BOOKER, REPORTER

ast night I took a moonlit walk around my modest farm on the south side of the Duck Mountains near Roblin, Man. I heard a late season elk bugling, and geese chattering from a nearby field. These are the same trails and sounds my grandparents experienced, as did my great-grandparents. I’m privileged to experience such freedom and solitude in a world with a population racing towards nine billion, while the number of farms and people experiencing life in the countryside is rapidly decreasing. I took over management of this family land soon after I earned an honours degree of sociology from the University of Alberta. I started farming because I coveted the diverse skill set needed to operate a small farm and because of my growing fear that the architects of the world order were much too reactionary and excessively influenced by an unfettered self-interested philosophy. How will America address its massive debt load, or how will scientists convince us to better manage how we affect Earth’s ecosystems, or how can we keep the world’s population at sustainable levels to ease issues that come with overcrowding, such as war, disease and pollution? In a time of such global uncertainty, I convinced myself there is no better food security then having access to fertile land and the tools and knowhow to make it productive. That’s great philosophically and somewhat practically, but not so much financially. Like many small farmers, I rely on off-farm income to stay afloat. I worked winters on pipelines in Alberta and Saskatchewan as an excavator operator. I then used my education and experience of working in therapeutic group homes for teenagers and got a job as a treatment worker at a aboriginal child and family service agency, which I did for three years while farming. Then last year I decided to change things up. I let go of my organic certification because of uncertainty in organic markets and weed pressure inflamed by wet years. I also enrolled in the bachelor of journalism program at the University of Regina and was chosen by The Western Producer to be its intern until mid December. I hope you enjoy reading the stories I write half as much as I know I will enjoy writing them.

OPEN FORUM LETTERS POLICY:

BAN PESTICIDES

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

To the Editor:

Open letters should be avoided; priority will be given to letters written exclusively for the Producer. Editors reserve the right to reject or edit any letter for clarity, brevity, legality and good taste. Cuts will be indicated by ellipsis (…) Publication of a letter does not imply endorsement by the Producer.

Re: Manitoba pesticide ban consultation. I fully support a ban on cosmetic pesticides. Pesticides are dangerous substances and must be applied only by trained operators. All children and pregnant women must be kept away while the chemical is active. I have strong concerns that cosmetic pesticides are being applied carelessly and that children and pregnant women are being exposed to dangerous chemicals without their knowledge and consent. I have seen pesticides abused by too many people who should have

known better. I have seen pesticides applied in schoolyards, while children played close by. I have seen pesticides applied by parents while barefoot children followed alongside. I have seen pesticides sprayed into rivers and even into drinking water reservoirs. The labels on pesticide containers strictly forbid such actions, and yet the warnings are ignored. There is no way to protect the vulnerable from careless pesticide use, except for imposing a strict and complete ban on all cosmetic pesticides in Manitoba. Cosmetic pesticides should not be available for sale to the general public. Pesticides should only be applied

by trained and licensed operators. All areas where chemicals are applied should be fenced off and posted to exclude children for the length of time stated on the warning label. I am a responsible farmer and I fully support a ban on cosmetic pesticides in Manitoba. We owe it to our children. Kate Storey, Grandview, Man.

ORGANIC NOT ABOUT STATUS To the Editor: As an urbanite living in rural Alberta, I regularly enjoy your newspaper

It’s the canola herbicide you’ve been wishing for.

as a source of information on what is going on in the communities that are close to me. There is a growing trend of polarization of opinion among different groups, and I find it to be particularly troubling when the media is sowing seeds of such a divisive nature. I am taking issue with a cartoon, on page 10 in the Sept. 13 edition of the WP, that characterizes urban people who choose to eat organic as shallow and narcissistic. Many people that I know who choose to eat organically do so because they believe that it is a small way to support land stewardship and rural communities. I don’t know anyone who eats organically so that they can flout their consumption as a status symbol. I would like to remind any of your readers who are lucky enough to own land that this is a privilege that many people in the city would love to have. Please don’t belittle those who pay a premium to eat organically in the hopes of supporting healthy lands and the long-term viability of rural communities. If you make fools of those who eat organic, you are paying disrespect to your neighbours who take risks and work hard to grow these products. Iraleigh Anderson, Vermilion, Alta.

STUDY GM FOOD To the Editor:

It’s no wonder farmers are just itching to get their hands on this. New ARES™ herbicide is an integral part of the enhanced Clearﬁeld® Production System for canola. It controls all the weeds other systems get plus the ones they don’t, including tough weeds like Lamb’s quarters, Wild buckwheat and Cleavers. And with its user-friendly, liquid formulation, it’s bound to be on most canola farmers’ wish lists this year. Visit your BASF retailer or agsolutions.ca/ARES for more details.

The people of California will soon start voting on Proposition 37, which is the California Right to Know Genetically Engineered Food Act. Major corporations are pouring millions into a campaign to try to stop having to label their products that contain genetically engineered material. Ninety percent of the people want their food labelled. This is the first time there has been any opportunity to voice their wishes. According to the Organic Consumers Association, there is a report that a long-term French study found that rats fed exclusively on GM corn suffered liver and kidney damage and died prematurely It is time that the governments of Canada and the United States started doing their own long-term studies instead of accepting the corporations’ statement that GM food was substantially the same as non-GM. We need legislation to force all food companies to label their products containing GM material. That way people could make their own decisions. If GM grains are as good as the corporations say they are, why are they campaigning so hard to convince people to vote no on Proposition 37? Jean Sloan, Lloydminster, Sask.

To the Editor: Is our provincial government turning its back on rural Saskatchewan? SaskTel, a crown corporation, has been there for the people of Saskatchewan for decades, but are they

OPINION abandoning rural residents now? Thankfully, SaskTel has supplied Saskatchewan with high speed internet. Urban areas are wired but many rural subscribers are supplied with wireless off cellular towers. To get this service, we have bought our own equipment and paid a monthly fee, which we did so we could enjoy the same services as our urban brothers, even though at a higher cost. Now these rural subscribers are receiving in the mail a letter stating that as of Dec. 31, this service will be discontinued. Apparently, the federal government has gone and sold the spectrum band that SaskTel wireless operates in to another party. Is our provincial government so spineless that it can be dictated to by the feds? I do not understand how the provincial government can stand idly by and let the feds run roughshod over SaskTel like this. Even though many Saskatchewan residents have backed SaskTel by standing by them and not switching to competitor services, we are now to be thrown to the wolves. Where we once enjoyed unlimited services on wireless, we are now going to have to subscribe to slower speeds at limited service caps (20 or 30/mb) at higher monthly costs. We also get to throw the equipment that we purchased in the trash. While SaskTel advertisements flood the airwaves of radio and TV bragging about supplying 4G services to Saskatchewan residents, we in rural areas will be knocked back in services and have to pay higher rates. Ironically, our choice of new services seems to be owned also by SaskTel. At this time, it looks like rural residents will have only one other option of recourse, that being to check out the competitor services and then abandon SaskTel as they have abandoned us.

TRIBUTE | PIONEER WOMEN

Touching stories of unsung heros told in Egg Money SPIRITUAL VIGNETTES

JOYCE SASSE

“E

gg Money” is a larger than life-size bronze statue of a pioneer woman feeding her chickens. Three such statues have been created by Shirley and Don Begg, who cast them in the Studio West Bronze Foundry in Cochrane, Alta. One of the statues is on Centennial

Plaza in Cochrane, Alta. The second is located at Fish Creek provincial park in Calgary. The third, in Saskatoon, is located along the river where settlers first landed. The latter includes chickens, a cream can and two children helping their mother. The inscription celebrates the courage and resourcefulness of the pioneer women who “assisted by their children, raised chickens and sold eggs to buy essentials for their families….” It recognizes how, because of their resourcefulness, “families and communities survived during pioneer times.” In 2005, a small group of men and women of German heritage met because they wanted to find a way to

pay tribute to Saskatchewan’s pioneer women whom they called unsung heroes. They raised the funds for the statues and commissioned a book of stories to be written about women from a cross section of nationalities. We catch glimpses of 24 courageous, hard-working, caring individuals in the stories written by family members. Appropriately, the book is called Egg Money. After depicting various aspects of her life, one family wrote, “Mary will be remembered for her love. She was strong in character, yet gentle in spirit. She desired a better future for her children than she had experienced, and she instilled in them her love of learning … during family dis-

Robert Schultz, Choiceland, Sask. Editor’s Note: The broadband spectrum mentioned above was available to SaskTel through a public auction process, but the crown corporation chose not to bid on it.

HARD TO SWALLOW To the Editor: The issue of pardoning criminals is hard to swallow. For the prime minister (Stephen Harper) and “puppet” (agriculture minister Gerry) Ritz to continue to lie and misrepresent the facts cannot be condoned in our Canada. Obtaining export licences/permits when exporting goods is the law of the land and applies to all individuals or business. Perhaps the Canadian customs personnel made a mistake and should have allowed the trucks to cross the border without the permits. U. S. customs (would have) seized the trucks and the smartassed farmers would have looked down the barrel of a gun had they attempted to steal the trucks out of their compound. Harper’s fate had he intervened — who knows? A. J. Leahy, Fort St. John, B.C.

EXPANSION PLANS | GRAIN TERMINAL

Expanded terminal seeks grain, oilseed exports Public consultations underway | Richardson International expects project will add 700,000 tonnes of grain storage BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Residents in North Vancouver had a chance this week to learn more about a proposed $120 million grain terminal expansion project planned by Richardson International. Richardson, Canada’s second largest grain handler, is hoping to add 70,000 tonnes of grain storage capacity to its existing grain export terminal located on the north shore of Vancouver’s Burrard Inlet. The expansion would allow the facility to increase exports of grain and oilseeds to more than five million tonnes a year.

It would also boost the terminal’s total storage capacity by nearly 65 percent to 178,000 tonnes. Public consultations on the project kicked off this week and are expected to continue until Oct. 19. Richardson says the proposed expansion is key to ensuring the efficient movement of Canadian grain and oilseeds to overseas markets. The terminal handles three million tonnes of grain and oilseeds each year, but company officials say it is operating at maximum capacity. “Increasing storage capacity at our Vancouver terminal is critical to our business,” said Darwin Sobkow,

Richardson’s vice-president of agribusiness operations. “By increasing storage capacity and enhancing our operation, we will be better positioned to serve our farmer customers and meet increasing demand for Canadian grain and oilseeds from end-use markets worldwide.” According to documents filed with the Port Metro Vancouver in late August, the proposed expansion would include the demolition of three existing storage bins and the construction of two 40,000-tonne concrete storage annexes. It would also include new dust filtration systems, new conveyor

equipment and support towers, an upgraded road access and a reconfiguration of the existing rail infrastructure. The new annexes — about 54 metres high and 172 metres long — would be located in close proximity to existing residential neighbourhoods in North Vancouver. Approval of the project would represent a significant investment in Canada’s Pacific Gateway initiative aimed at increasing trade between Canada and other Pacific Rim countries. However, construction could also affect North Vancouver residents and other area stakeholders.

Richardson spokesperson Tracey Shelton said the company has already hired an outside firm to assess a variety of factors including noise, the impact on harbour-area sightlines and shadows that would be created by the new annexes. Richardson must also seek input from First Nations groups and the City of North Vancouver. As well, the project is subject to a port of Vancouver environmental assessment process. Although Richardson is still in the early stages of acquiring project approvals, the expansion plan has generated a lot of interest, Shelton added.

FARMERS HELPING FARMERS | HAY

Saskatchewan cattle producer’s hay heads to Eastern Canada BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Ten years ago, Les Wardrop received a truckload of hay from Eastern Canada. Today, the Saskatchewan cattle producer is returning the favour. Wardrop, who has 70 cows on his mixed operation between Rosetown and Biggar, has signed up to donate 100 large round bales to eastern farmers affected by drought. The HayEast 2012 campaign was launched in mid-September in response to the significant drought in

parts of Ontario and Quebec. Ontario has declared 19 drought regions and many farmers were unable to grow hay at all. The situation is the reverse of 2002, when the Prairies were parched and eastern farmers organized Hay West. Wardrop was among the beneficiaries and hasn’t forgotten the generosity. “I got a truckload, some round bales, some square,” he recalled. “I was one of the last ones to get it. It got us through until the grass got growing and I didn’t have to put the cows on grass quite so early.”

Wa r d r o p s a i d s e v e r a l o f h i s neighbours also received feed during that campaign, and they all appreciated that people they didn’t know would help them through a crisis. “They railed it into Biggar and a trucker brought it right to the farm,” he said. “I didn’t pay a cent.” Trucking companies in Eastern and Western Canada have again volunteered to transport hay, he said. Some eastern farmers have said they are willing to buy feed, but Wardrop isn’t interested in getting paid for his contribution. “In 2010 we had 36 inches of rain,

last year 20 inches and this year another 20,” he said. “Our hay crops have been double the yields (we get) normally.” He has two years’ worth of feed in his yard and will easily feed his cattle through the winter. Last year, he sold 800 to 900 bales but said there are fewer cow-calf producers around to buy his feed. “I have more than I could sell,” Wardrop said. “And money isn’t everything.” Wardrop “retired” this spring, selling his farm and renting it back for three years. He might expand his

herd a bit to use the extra supply. Trucks haven’t started moving hay east yet and there is still time to donate or for eastern farmers to apply to receive a shipment. The information can be found at www.hayeast2012.com or by phoning 855-429-2012. As well, the Ontario Federation of Agriculture and Scotiabank branches are accepting cash donations for HayEast 2012. Donations can be made at any Scotiabank branch in Canada. The money will be used to help pay for transport.

BRITISH COLUMBIA | LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR

Transplanted Quebecer named B.C.’s royal rep Cattle, conservation and farming among Judith Guichon’s involvements BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

A prominent British Columbia rancher has been appointed the new B.C. lieutenant governor for a fiveyear term. Prime minister Stephen Harper announced the appointment of Judith Guichon Oct. 1. Guichon, who recently ended her term as president of the B.C. Cattlemen’s Association, is owner and operator of Gerald Guichon Ranch Ltd. in the Nicola Valley. She has been a prominent promoter of environ-

mentally sustainable ranching methods including work with the Grasslands Conservation Council of B.C. “She is a leader in keeping British Columbia’s agriculture and cattle industries environmentally sound, and she has worked hard to promote and protect the ranchers of B.C.,” Harper said in a statement announcing the appointment. She replaces Steven Point, whose term expired Oct. 1. Guichon, 65, was born in Quebec and raised on an eastern Ontario farm before marrying and moving to B.C. and the ranch.

She and four children run the 700head cow-calf operation. She studied and then introduced to B.C. the holistic management method of ranching that “promotes sustainable management of livestock by emphasizing their natural habitat.” She has been involved with community health boards and was a 4-H leader. Guichon also served on a provincial task force on species at risk and was part of the B.C. Ranching Task Force. She plays flute in the Nicola Valley Community Band.

About 8,000 rural internet customers will continue to receive high-speed service from SaskTel — for now. Industry Canada last week announced it would give the crown corporation more time to reconfigure its network. The wireless broadband service through SaskTel was to be discontinued by the end of this year, and most affected customers were pointed to a satellite service provided by Xplornet. Rural customers complained, saying the cost was too high and the service not good enough for their needs. Some feared they would be left with no service at all. Don McMorris, minister responsible for SaskTel, said the government heard the concerns loud and clear and asked the federal government for more time. An extension was granted until March 31, 2014. “I think it would be safe to say that SaskTel thought it would be an easier transition than what it has been,” he said. “Closer to the deadline, we realized that transition wasn’t as smooth and that there was certainly much more angst in rural Saskatchewan.” He said SaskTel wants to supply the best possible service to the entire province, including rural areas. The changes became necessary

when Industry Canada announced in 2006 it would reallocate part of the broadband spectrum on which some service is provided. SaskTel has the opportunity to buy some of the spectrum back through an auction, but McMorris said the technology it requires is now outdated. This is the second extension for SaskTel. It received one in March 2011. He said SaskTel will work with affected individuals to make sure everyone is satisfied. The Xplornet service has been substantially improved since it was first introduced, he added. SaskTel president Ron Styles said the corporation is committed to rural Saskatchewan. “We will ensure that no one is left without service and all customers will receive notification of their service options throughout the extension period,” he said in a news release.

‘Cobalt bomb’ researcher leaves a regal legacy BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

A state funeral will be held in Saskatoon Oct. 5 for former lieutenant governor Sylvia Fedoruk. Saskatchewan’s first female lieu-

tenant governor died Sept. 26 at age 85 after complications from a fall. Born in Canora, Sask., where the town’s curling rink is named in her honour, Fedoruk became a biophysicist and in 1951 was a member of the research team that developed the

cobalt-60 therapy unit, or the cobalt bomb. The therapy was first used on a 43-year-old woman with cervical cancer. It cured her and she lived another 47 years. The Canadian Medical Hall of

Fame, to which Fedoruk was named in 2009, says the therapy helped more than 70 million people in the last half of the 20th century. Fedoruk was also a noted university athlete, playing hockey, volleyball, basketball and softball, but was probably best known for her curling ability. She was a member of the team that won the first national women’s championship and was inducted into the Canadian Curling Hall of Fame in 1986. Fedoruk was inducted as the 17th lieutenant governor in September 1988 and served until 1994. She remained until her death a regular in the crowd at University of Saskatchewan Huskies basketball games. Premier Brad Wall said it wasn’t hyperbole to say women all over the world are alive today because of Fedoruk’s work in nuclear medicine. She didn’t just change lives, she

Millions of dollars worth of trade were drummed up at the Saskatchewan Trade and Export Partnership’s trade conference, said STEP president Lionel LaBelle. Seventy-five international buyers from 14 countries attended the conference in Saskatoon. “I was in the China market 10 days ago, and we were presenting at a major pea conference in the Yantai province,” LaBelle said. “We will do about 700,000 metric tonnes of yellow peas into that market this year. Seventeen of those companies followed us back to this conference. In that product alone, our Chinese customers suggest we will be over a million metric tons in the next 15 months. … Literally hundreds of millions of dollars traded hands today, simply because of our expertise and our quality products.” STEP organizes a conference every two years to educate Saskatchewan exporters about the global economy

and introduce them to international opportunities for their products. However, this year’s international buyers component was new. Melody Ector, vice-president of Diefenbaker Seed Processors in Elbow, Sask., said she believes the conference created significant business. “STEP spent a lot of time bringing international buyers to us,” Ector said. “They know the companies that belong to STEP, and they match up the buyers that we would be interested in.” The conference included matchmaking sessions that resembled speed dating. STEP matched Saskatchewan businesses with international buyers for meetings that lasted 15 minutes each. There were more then 500 of these introductory meetings. Mark Pickard, president of InfraReady Products, was at the conference looking to establish initial relationships with prospective buyers from Latin America, China and Spain. “If you had to go and try to find these people individually, it would cost thousands and thousands of dollars,” Pickard said.

Data from a recently released report linking five million annual deaths to climate change and a carbon economy might raise unnecessary red flags, said a University of Regina professor. But that’s not to say the effects of climate change aren’t real and won’t be felt across the globe and on the C a n a d i a n P ra i r i e s, s a i d D av e Sauchyn, a climate change researcher who works with the Prairie Adaptation Research Collaborative. An organization representing 20 governments of developing countries commissioned the Climate Vulnerability Monitor study, which forecasts the human and economic impacts of climate change from 2010-30. It found that climate change is costing the global economy 1.6 percent of global GDP and forecasts a growing impact totalling trillions of dollars as temperatures and pollution rise. It also links five million annual deaths to climate change and a carbon-intensive economy: 400,000 to hunger and communicable diseases and 4.5 million largely to air pollution. That amounts to 100 million deaths over the study’s 20-year period. “My interpretation of that would be not that I would expect that many people to die, but that I would expect a large number of people to be affected by climate change. I’m not sure how you can say that they’ll necessarily die,” said Sauchyn. “That seems like an awful precise or a specific projection to me, given the large number of uncertainties we have in projecting climate change.” Barry Smit, a University of Guelph, Ont., professor who studies adaptive management in Canadian agriculture, said deaths associated with droughts, floods and other factors contributing to malnutrition and illness aren’t a revelation. “I think that there are serious consequences of human-induced climate change for the way in which we live in this world. In Canada we’ll adjust. Some industries will have to change and some will benefit and some will go under. And some people will lose jobs and some people will gain jobs. And there will be some

serious implications for human health,” he said. “But in many parts of the world, there is already complete upheaval of livelihoods and of lives.” The report shows climate change contributing $350 billion US in lost production by 2030, up from $50 billion in 2010. Ninety percent of that will be in developing countries, said the report, which identified Africa as most vulnerable. “One degree C rise in temperature is associated with 10 percent productivity loss in farming. For us, it means losing about four million metric tonnes of food grain, amounting to about $2.5 billion,” Sheikh Hasina, prime minister of Bangladesh and chair of the Climate Vulnerable Forum, said in a news release. Smit said those rising temperatures could create new opportunities for prairie producers. Rising temperatures will extend the growing season and mean more frost-free days, but they’ll also bring drier conditions and more extreme weather events. “What we do know is that the likelihood of hotter and drier years is much greater now than it was 20 years ago,” said Smit. “Producers should factor that into their decision making, but if they don’t, well good luck to them.” As part of a five-year project Sauchyn is leading with PARC, interviews have been conducted with 140 people in four rural communities in Saskatchewan and Alberta about their experiences with climate extremes. Researchers will combine that information with their scientific work and develop a communication plan with their partners. Sauchyn said those efforts will be unrolled over the winter. “We want to actually be working with the producers in the interpretation and the use of this information,” he said. “We don’t want to tell them what they already know. That’s a huge mistake that academics often make.”

POPULATION | INCREASES

Travel, friendship attract youth Building bridges and broadening horizons | 4-Hers urged to learn both official languages

Prairies show most growth Average age among lowest BY BRIAN CROSS

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

FREELANCE WRITER

MONTREAL — Cole Easton, Ashley Storey and Heather Sweeney are the faces of the future of agriculture in Canada. Easton, 17, of Moosomin, Sask., plans to attend the University of Saskatchewan to become a power engineer, but he says he sees himself as always involved in farming, even if it’s just part-time. Storey, 16, of Sussex, N.B., hopes to take over her family’s draft horse farm when she’s old enough. And Sweeney, 17, of Yarmouth, N.S., plans to major in animal sciences at university and work with animals when she graduates. The three teens hail from different provinces, but what helps keep their common passion for agriculture burning is 4-H Canada. They were among 96 other teenagers, aged 15 to 19, who attended the 2012 National 4-H Conference in September in Montreal. They all say that meeting other youth, learning about the country and travel are what keep them excited about 4-H. “It’s just fun,” said Storey. For Easton, a light horse and rodeo enthusiast, the best thing about 4-H is the chance to travel the country. Aside from the Montreal trip, he has been to Ottawa for 4-H and would like to go to Washington, D.C., next year. Storey has been a member of 4-H since she was eight. Her family’s horse operation made 4-H a natural and has allowed her to travel to country fairs in New Brunswick showing her horses, and to Manitoba and British Columbia on 4-H exchanges, where 4-H members swap locations for a week. Sweeney has been a 4-H member for 11 years. Her family’s sheep and cattle farm near Yarmouth got her interested in 4-H, and she has travelled Nova Scotia to the organization’s events. In Montreal, 4-Hers from Canada and two from Wisconsin attended seminars and toured local farms and the city to expose them to Quebec. In a presentation to delegates, Graham Fraser, Canada’s commissioner of official languages, urged the young 4-Hers to learn the official languages, saying bilingualism helps build bridges between Canadians and allows people to experience the richness of Canadian society. He said there’s a common misconception that the goal of the Official Languages Act is to make Canadians bilingual and, since most are not, the law is a failure. That’s wrong, he said. “Canada’s language policy was

Cole Easton of Saskatchewan, left, Heather Sweeney of Nova Scotia and Ashley Storey of New Brunswick plan to continue their involvement in agriculture as adults. | WAYNE LOWRIE PHOTO devised in 1969 so that the government would be bilingual so that Canadian citizens would not have to be. “One of the paradoxes of bilingual countries is that officially bilingual countries often have a lower proportion of people who are bilingual than countries that are officially unilingual, because in unilingual countries, everybody has to learn the one official language of the country. “Whereas in Canada, the decision was made that the government would be able to serve Canadians in the official language of their choice.” He said bilingualism has made great strides since the Official Languages Act was passed 43 years ago. It has now become “unthinkable” that the leader of any major political party could not communicate in both official languages. When the act was debated in 1969, there were dire predictions from opponents that Western Canadians would never again be able to get a job in the federal government, he said. Today, the prime minister is

elected from Alberta, the minister of Canadian Heritage is from British Columbia, the minister of citizenship and immigration is from Alberta, the chief justice of the Supreme Court is from Alberta, the former chief of National Defence staff is from Manitoba and the clerk of the Privy Council is from Saskatchewan. “It’s been 25 years since Preston Manning said ‘the West wants in.’ Well, the West is in with a vengeance,” he said. During a seminar, a CIBC representative gave a Banking 101 presentation about his bank’s products. Jane Lewis, a 4-H chaperone and dean of education at the University of Cape Breton, complained that the banks’ willingness to extend credit is leading to massive student debt. She pointed to the credit card deal for students, offered by CIBC and other banks, which is available to all students 18 years and older, even if they have zero income. Lewis has talked to many UCB students who are deep in debt and carrying three or four of these stu-

dent credit cards. Daniel Calla, financial services representative with CIBC, responded that the limit on the CIBC card is only $500 and that the bank won’t issue a card to students if they have other credit cards. The cards, if used responsibly, are a good way for students to build up a good credit rating. He suggested students put their cellphone bills on their credit card, and pay the card off monthly to build a credit rating. At another session, the young delegates discussed a proposal to extend 4-H membership across the country to age 25. Debra Hauer, a Saskatchewan member of 4-H’s national council, said the age limits are now set by provincial 4-H associations, but the national council is pondering a Canada-wide standard. The maximum age is 25 in Quebec, and Saskatchewan and Alberta also allow older members. In other provinces, the age cutoff is 19. The delegates generally favoured extending the age eligibility.

Canada’s prairie provinces continue to lead the nation when it comes to population growth. Figures released last week by Statistics Canada show that Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba led all Canadian provinces in terms of population grow th dur ing the 12-month period ending July 1, 2012. Alberta’s population as of July 1 was estimated at 3,873,700, an increase of 2.5 percent or 95,700 people from the previous year. Saskatchewan’s population grew by 22,154 people to 1,079,958, an increase of 2.1 percent. Manitoba’s population grew by 1.2 percent or 15,300 to 1,267,000. Canada’s total population was estimated at 34,880,500, up 1.1 percent from last year. The Prairies had growth rates higher than the national average. The figures also suggested that the median age of people living in the prairie provinces is among the lowest in the country. The median age of Canada’s population is 40 years. Among the provinces, the lowest median ages are Alberta’s at 36.1 years, Saskatchewan’s at 37.1 and Manitoba’s at 37.6. Provincial population growth is influenced by a variety of factors including births, deaths, international migration and net interprovincial migration. For the 12-month period ending July 1, Saskatchewan and Alberta were the only two provinces to record a net increase through interprovincial migration. Alberta registered a net gain of 28,200 people and Saskatchewan registered a net gain 2,800 people. Ontario, Manitoba, British Columbia and Quebec registered the largest net losses through interprovincial migration. Interprovincial movements cost Ontario an estimated 8,091 residents, followed by Manitoba at 4,675, British Columbia at 4,648 and Quebec at 3,886. In the past 30 years, the population of Western Canada has grown by 49 percent, compared to 4.4 percent in Atlantic Canada. Saskatchewan premier Brad Wall said Saskatchewan’s growth is a testament to the province’s strong economy. “Gone are the days when more people were moving out of Saskatchewan than moving in,” Wall said. Population growth is exceeding the province’s goal of adding 100,000 people in 10 years, he said. Between 2007 and 2012, Saskatchewan’s population grew by nearly 80,000 people.

COBBLE HILL, B. C. — James Lockwood comes from a long line of farmers, but he never thought he’d make his living from the land. His father, Barry, first broke the 200 year tradition and left the family farm in Yorkshire, England, to move to Canada. Today, father and son are working together on their five-acre mixed farm in British Columbia’s Cowichan Valley. When Barry moved to Canada in 1991, he started a business growing ornamentals for garden centres and retail nurseries. “I spent 30 years growing things for people to look at. Now I grow things for people to eat,” said Barry. The transition to small-scale intensive food production from wholesale ornamentals was a combination of timing and inspiration. When the land that Barry leased for his business was sold, he bought a property that once housed a private school. James had a degree in sport health and physical education and took an interest in food production through his involvement with environmental groups. He and his wife, Cammie, began by converting their backyard into a large v e g e t a b l e g a rd e n a n d g e t t i n g involved with the Cowichan Green Community and Providence Farm to learn more about sustainable local food production and marketing. “James and Cammie came to us one day and said, ‘why don’t we start using the property to grow something to eat,’ ” said Barry. “I’d not really done it since I was a student back in the U.K., so I was really interested to do something different.” Barry and James began with a one-

acre garden plot and a small greenhouse, and have been slowly expanding. This season, they produced 35 varieties of vegetables and 20 different herbs for the local market. Barry’s wife,Jan, oversees seeding the vegetable starts for planting. The family has also expanded into poultry, with 100 laying hens, 40 meat chickens and 45 turkeys. “We grow quite a range of crops and we do it rather intensively. No sooner is one plant out of the ground than we are putting the next plant in, but we are doing it in a planned rotation,” said Barry. “As far as the technical side of farming goes, it’s down to my dad and the history and experience that he brings … and sometimes trial and error,” said James. The Lockwoods sell at the weekly farmers’ market in Duncan, to chefs at local restaurants and from the farmgate. James and Cammie handle most sales, marketing and customer relations. In the year since they started, they have only missed two of the weekly farmers’ markets, and that was for the birth of their daughter, Keighley. “Building a customer base is really important for small-scale farms,” said James. “You have to listen to your customers and give them what they want, not what you think they should have.” An additional half-acre garden has been prepared for next season and plans are afoot to build a greenhouse to extend the growing season and make it easier to meet the demand for year-round local produce. James is animated when he talks about his family, customers and farm. “The farming was in my blood,” he said. “It just took years to come out.”

COLLECTOR | RURAL MEMORABILIA

Picker fills fire-hall with found treasures Event museum | An old fire-hall packed with rural collectibles can be booked for special gatherings BY ANNE COTE FREELANCE WRITER

PETERSFIELD, Man. — A treasure trove of memorabilia and collectibles is tucked in behind a row of mature trees on the Hunt farmstead near Petersfield, Man. Owner Laurie Hunt and his wife, Mo n i k a, hav e b e e n f i l l i n g t h e shelves, walls and rafters of a reclaimed municipal building they relocated with rural memorabilia and collectibles. It wasn’t what Hunt, who was born and raised in the area, had in mind when he bought the 120 acre farm in 1979. “I used to have honeybees,” Hunt said. However, he quit the honey business by 1993, which is when he switched to hay. He now rents out the hay fields to his brother and runs a septic environmental business. As well, he’s a councillor for the Rural Municipality of St. Andrews. But none of that keeps the Hunts from spending eight weeks each year travelling across Canada and the United States hunting for treasure. “You see these (picker) shows on TV. I’m more or less a picker myself,” he said. “The only difference is I don’t sell to other dealers. I don’t sell to stores. I collect for myself.… This is my 11th summer of collecting.” The rapidly expanding collection is housed in the old municipal fire-hall Hunt bought in 1984 and moved onto his property. He said it was built in 1944 as the municipality’s public works building. “In 1970, they built a new shop and this then became the first fire-hall in the RM of St. Andrews in Clandeboye,” he said. Hunt has built two additions to the building using recycled building materials. “Everything is recycled. The building has been recycled, even the flooring in here is old bleacher boards from high schools,” he said. Now known as Hunt’s Country Roadhouse Museum, the old firehall has been turned into a commercial event venue that holds up to 200 people in the three rooms and has a large outdoor fire pit area. “It’s a good place for a wedding or family reunion. It gives folks a chance to talk,” Hunt said. That’s important in this busy world

Laurie Hunt at the food service counter in the Country Roadhouse Museum on his farm near Petersfield, Man. | because families and friends don’t always have the time to get together and talk, he said. There are some limitations for booking the venue. “You can’t just book the facility without the meal, they go hand in hand,” Hunt said. Monika and his grown daughters, Shenna and Kayla, help out with the cooking in the off-site kitchen and barbecue. Although Hunt’s Country Roadhouse Museum is a commercial operation, it’s not a full-time business. “I’m not busy, it’s more of a hobby.” Hunt said he plans to continue picking and buying from other collectors and estate auctions, but he’s not selling anything. “Someday I’ll probably have an auction sale.”

THE MORE THINGS CHANGE … ALBERT PARSONS

Deciduous shrubs and trees will continue to produce bold colours in the fall

MICHAEL GILLGANNON

Alternate universes, scary creatures, toxic substances entertain

s the growing season ends, gardeners begin pulling frozen annuals from beds and containers and cleaning perennial borders. Some landscapes might look drab, but gardens that contain a selection of deciduous shrubs and trees will continue to produce bold colour in fall. Shrubs are chosen for tolerance to shade and drought, size, texture and foliage colour, but can also be selected for fall colours. Vibrant autumn landscapes can be stunning. Most varieties of lilac do not take on much colour, but they are the last shrubs to defoliate in the fall. If seeking fall colour, choose Dwarf Charisma lilac, which turns bright yellow, and Miss Kim and its tints of gold and orange. Cotoneaster, which is often used for hedges and mixed shrub borders, is one of the best shrubs for vivid fall foliage, displaying vibrant shades of orange and red. Some shrubs such as cotoneaster retain colourful autumn leaves lon-

High bush cranberry as well as the compact varieties all turn red in the fall, while the wayfaring tree, which is actually a bush, turns a subtle redpurple colour. One of the most brilliant fall shrubs is the sumac. Its finely cut foliage is attractive in summer and brilliant red in autumn. Sumac works well in a shrub border where its tall arching branches can rise above shorter shrubs. Its good red foliage contrasts well with

golden foliage or evergreens. Planting shrubs that have brilliant fall colour in front of evergreens provides a wonderful contrast in the autumn and is a good landscaping practice. Sumac sends out suckers, which are easily cut or dug up to establish new plantings. Some gardeners prefer stag horn sumac. Another outstanding shrub is burning bush, a euonymus. The unique orange and pink flowers that are produced in summer are followed by bright red seedpods. Burning bush is a Zone 3 shrub and should be planted in a sheltered location in Zone 2 gardens. It performs

well when used as a foundation plant on the south side of the house, but it will have to be watered regularly there because burning bush likes consistent moisture. Other shrub choices could include some of the spireas, dogwood, some hardy roses and nannyberry. When shopping for shrubs, read tags carefully to ensure that they produce good fall colour.

Fleischmann’s 11 mL pizza crust yeast 1 1/2 tsp. sugar 7 mL 3/4 tsp. salt 4 mL 2/3 c. warm water 150 mL (49-55 C ) Water should feel warm to the touch. 3 tbsp. oil 45 mL Sprinkle the cornmeal onto an unheated baking stone. Preheat oven to 375 F (190 C). Combine one cup (250 ml) flour, undissolved yeast, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Add warm water and oil. Mix until well blended, about one minute. Gradually add enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Dough should form a ball and will be slightly sticky. Knead on a floured surface, adding additional flour if necessary, until smooth and elastic, about four minutes. Divide dough in half, cover and set one-half aside. See the recipe below for a cheese bread round. Pat the second piece of dough with floured hands onto the cornmealsprinkled baking stone. Press or roll

out the dough into a nine by 14 inch (22 x 35.5 cm) rectangle. Take the turkey filling from the refrigerator. Using a large spoon, put scoops of the turkey filling down the centre of the rectangle, running the length. Using the backs of two spoons and press the filling into a log shape. Set aside one spoonful of filling. Leave about 1/2 inch (2 cm) of dough uncovered at each end of the dough. If desired, sprinkle cranberries and walnuts over the length of the filling and use the back of a spoon to press slightly into the filling. Using a sharp knife, make a horizontal cut in the dough from the edge of the turkey filling to the outside edge of the dough. Repeat the cuts every inch (2 cm) for the length of the dough. Make matching cuts on the opposite side of the dough. Slightly beat the egg white. Take the end of the first ribbon of cut dough and fold it at a slight angle on top of the filling. Brush some of the egg onto the end of the dough. Bring a ribbon of dough from the opposite side of the filling and fold over the filling, placing the end of this dough end onto the egg white-covered end of the first piece of dough and press together. Repeat folding over dough from alternate sides, leaving the last two ends of dough unfolded. Bend the dough into a circle to form a wreath shape. Press the two unfilled ends together and use the last spoonful of filling to complete filling the ring. Fold over the last two ribbons of dough to finish the top of the wreath. Brush the dough with egg white to glaze the wreath. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and cut into serving wedges and serve on the baking stone. Place stone on several hot mats to protect the table surface.

ABOUT BAKING STONES • There are two types of clay bakeware, red clay and stoneware. Red clay has a low melting point and cannot withstand the high kiln temperatures required to produce stoneware. • Stoneware is made with a beige or grey clay that can withstand 2,000 F (1,095 C) firing in a kiln. It is unaffected by moisture and is safe to use for cooking foods and does not need glazing or soaking. The heat retention of stoneware produces crisp crusts and moist

GLOBAL WARMING | EFFECTS IN ARCTIC

Sea ice retreat a concern for shippers Arctic ice at record low | Shippers, energy companies may see benefits, new problems

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Permanent ice cover in Canada’s Far North is disappearing at an unexpectedly rapid rate, but the implications for northern shipping routes may not be known for several years. David Barber, a leading expert on Arctic ice, said the scientific world is entering uncharted territory when it comes to assessing the impact of diminishing ice cover. The reduction in permanent or multi-year ice could be good news for companies involved in resource extraction and shipping, including the Port of Churchill in northern Manitoba. However, it could also lead to greater risks as large chunks of ice break away and move through northern waters and shipping lanes at greater speeds. “In the last 10 years of my career, there’s been a very dramatic change going on in the sea ice,” said Barber, a professor at the University of Manitoba and Canada Research Chair in Arctic System Science. “These changes have a lot of consequences in the scientific world, and we’re really just trying to keep up with the rate of this change and trying to understand what the consequences of this change are.” Barber, who spoke recently at a scientific seminar on shrinking Arctic ice, said the loss of ice could have profound changes weather patterns, not only in the Far North but also over much of the northern hemisphere. Extreme weather events including cyclones and high winds are likely to become more common. Uncertainty associated with reduced ice cover and more floating ice is compounded by the fact that industrial and political interest in the Far North is increasing quickly. “(This) is all superimposed upon the fact that the world is looking at the Arctic as a new ocean and they’re looking at it as a new ocean that can be developed and exploited,” Barber said. There is little doubt that Arctic ice is shrinking. Recently, the National Snow and Ice Data Centre in Colorado reported that summer sea ice in the Arctic dropped to 3.41 million sq. kilometres this year, the smallest area since satellites began recording Arctic ice cover 33 years ago. “We are now in uncharted territor y,” said NSID C director Mark Serreze. “While we’ve long known that as the planet warms up, changes would be seen first and be most pronounced in the Arctic, few of us were prepared for how rapidly the changes would occur.” Arctic sea ice has long been recognized as a bellwether of global climate change.

NSDIC as the total Arctic area that is covered by at least 15 percent of ice, varies annually but has shown a dramatic decline over the past 30 years. This year’s level is almost 50 percent lower than the 21-year average between 1979 and 2000. Unlike seasonal ice, which appears and disappears every year, multiyear ice remains intact throughout the year. Ted Scambos, another NSIDC scientist, said early snow loss and the thinning of multi-year ice are rapidly warming the Arctic. Increased heat and moisture from a warmer Arctic region will affect climate in more southerly areas, he added. “This will gradually affect climate in the areas where we live,” he said. “We have less polar pole so there will be more variations and extremes.” Some climate models suggest that ice-free conditions may occur in the Arctic by as early as 2050. Danielle Okrusko, research analyst with the Churchill Gateway Development Corporation in Churchill, Man., said the implications of sea ice reductions along Canada’s northern coastline will not be known for years. She said Gateway officials are

hopeful that Churchill’s shipping season will eventually be extended. However, it may take years for that to occur. Churchill’s shipping season begins in mid-July and ends Oct. 31. Statistics collected over the past decade suggest that the average spring melt is beginning 15 days earlier than the long-term average, while freeze up is beginning 15 days later. “(The season) is currently regulated … and there are a lot of people and organizations that would have to (be

involved) in extending the actual shipping season up north,” Okrusko said. “We definitely hope in the future that there will be greater emphasis … (on that).… But it’s definitely not going to be in the short term. It looks like it’s going to take a while to actually look into the current regulations, look into current statistical records and see what the current weather patterns are indicating.” A government task force with federal and provincial representation

has been formed to examine issues affecting the port, she added. Serreze said ships are likely to gain access to new areas of the Arctic as ice cover continues to diminish and climatic conditions continue to change. “While lots of people talk about opening of the Northwest Passage through the Canadian Arctic islands and the northern sea route along the Russian coast, 20 years from now in August, you might be able to take a ship right across the Arctic Ocean.”

FOOD INSPECTION | NEW FACES

Brian Evans, for more than a decade the public face of government food safety efforts as chief Canadian veterinary officer and chief food safety officer, is being replaced.

joined CFIA in 2008 from the Quebec government and will continue to be the agency’s vice-president of science. Ian Alexander is the new chief veterinary officer. He came to the agency from Health Canada in 2010, where he acted as director general of the Veterinary Drugs Directorate. He will continue to be executive director of the CFIA’s animal health division. Evans, who started as a rural Ontario vet decades ago, served as the country’s chief veterinary officer for 14 years, including through the chaotic days of the BSE crisis almost a

decade ago. “Brian will be a hard act to follow, although with those two jobs, that was almost more than one person could do,” said Canadian Meat Council executive director Jim Laws. “His role and presence were huge. He was our hero during BSE when he travelled the world to defend our system and to try to get markets open again.” Laws said Evans’ replacements “are highly competent people” who will carry on the tradition.

AGRICULTURE SUBSIDIES | DECLINING

Fiscal restraints may drive better agricultural policies: OECD BRUSSELS, Belgium (Reuters) — World agricultural subsidies fell to their lowest level ever as a share of farm income in 2011, says the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development. However, the decline was mainly due to high commodity prices rather than changes in government policy. Public support to producers last

year amounted to $252 billion, or 19 percent of gross farm receipts, the lowest level since the OECD began measuring aid in the mid-1980s. The pressure on many governments to cut public budgets in response to the economic crisis may drive further improvements in the cost effectiveness of agricultural policies in the coming years, it said in its

annual report on farm policies. “Fiscal consolidation across OECD countries in response to the recent economic crisis also provides an incentive to prioritize efforts,” it said. “An appropriate response to today’s opportunities and challenges would require that agricultural policies focus on core future priorities and shift away from broad farm income support.”

Depending on the countr y or region, future policy priorities should include improving environmental performance, boosting agricultural productivity and managing the risk of production losses caused by drought and other natural disasters, the report said. There were large variations in the level of agricultural support last year.

Subsidies as a share of farm income were less than four percent in New Zealand, Australia and Chile, compared with more than 50 percent in Japan, South Korea and Switzerland, the OECD said. Support to European Union producers as a share of receipts fell to its lowest ever level below 18 percent, while the U.S. share was steady at eight percent.

CONSUMER SURVEY | BUYING LOCAL

RESEARCH | GREENHOUSE GAS

Consumers want to buy local

Fertilizer institute gets funds for greenhouse gas research

People are appreciating the producer and they’re actually saying so, says market gardener BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A recent survey that found growing support for Canadian-grown products is in line with what Ron Erdmann sees in the marketplace. The Alberta market gardener said he has increased production of potatoes, carrots and cabbages in the past few years, while fielding more customer questions about his farm. “There is a growing demand and growing consumer awareness, too, about local products,” said Erdmann, president of the Alberta Farm Fresh Producers Association. “And as far as the price, they will pay more to a point.… If something is out of reason, they know it and they won’t pay it then, but for the most part they will pay slightly higher.” A recently published survey from BMO Bank of Montreal said as much: Canadian consumers have an interest in domestic products and are willing to pay a small premium for it, 16 percent more on average for fruits and vegetables and 19 percent for meat products. The majority of respondents said they would pay a premium of one percent. That percentage, which is more than 80 percent in some provinces, decreases as the premium rises. “We know that if we’re not even in the ballpark, we’re just going to lose market share and we still need to gain market share,” said Erdmann. The survey found that residents of Ontario and British Columbia, which have larger vegetable and fruit industries, were more willing to pay higher premiums. The results similarly favoured producers on the Prairies, where consumers were more likely to look for locally produced beef. “We’ve really felt it. All of the retail customers really felt it. All of the retail customers that we work with are really promoting local,” said Mike Reed, president of B.C. Hot House, which distributes greenhouse grown produce from B.C. He said a majority of the company’s products are still moving into the United States, but the company’s domestic business has grown in the last few years because of a diverse mix of products and a growing buylocal movement. “I think we’re hearing that local trend everywhere, whether we’re shipping into Japan, the U.S. or Canada. Everybody is really pushing, if local is available, that’s what they’re supporting first,” he said. “Outside of that it becomes local — in the case of Canada, product of Canada — and then after that they’ll take product from the U.S. or any stuff that’s being imported in.” Erdmann said he has significantly increased acreage for some crops — 25 to 30 percent for potatoes in the last five years — and there’s opportunity for more producers. “I know in talking with other growers and talking to consumers at the farmer’s markets, we still have in our province, we’re still short of certain products,” he said. “(For example), we have some really good strawberry growers, but I know there’s more demand than product out there for that crop.” A separate survey, conducted by

Farm & Food Care Ontario, found persistent “positive or neutral” attitudes toward Canadian agriculture across the country. That number, 88 percent, is up 15 percent from 2006. “I would say the value of this study is to show what the silent majority feels. I deal a lot with crisis communications and issues management on issues like animal welfare, environment, biotech,” said Crystal Mackay of Farm & Food Care. “Those are absolutely hot button issues for people that are very opposed to agriculture, so a very small minority can

really light a fire to an issue.” A sample of 1,011 Canadians interviewed May 18-23 were used for the BMO survey, yielding a margin of error plus or minus 3.1 percent, 19 times out of 20. “In the past, say, three years, we have had more people saying, ‘thank you for growing this great food,’ than we probably had in the 10 years previous to that combined,” said Erdmann. “It’s kind of nice to be in that situation where people are appreciating the producer and they’re actually saying so.”

CWB | OECD REPORT

EDUCATION | AGRICULTURE

Tories welcome OECD view on open market Report critical of supply management | The Paris-based organization says the system distorts subsidy levels BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

A Paris-based economic analysis organization has praised the Canadian government for its decision to end the CWB monopoly. “The recent decision to remove the monopoly of the Canadian Wheat Board on marketing wheat and barley in Western Canada, both for domestic use and export, is a positive step to enhance pro-active price risk management by farmers,” said the report from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Devel-

opment (OECD). The report also noted that Canadian government support for farmers compared to producer income fell to 14 percent under the Conservatives last year, well below the OECD average of 20 percent. However, it also said Canada’s continued support for the supply management system distorts the country’s agriculture subsidy levels. It suggested an increase in quota to dilute the regulated production system. “The dairy, poultry and egg sectors continue to receive high price sup-

port, distorting production and trade and establishing high rents capitalized in the quotas required to produce under the supply management system,” said the report, prepared under the direction of OECD trade and agriculture director Ken Ash, a former economist at Agriculture Canada. “Increasing the amount of quota available would improve market orientation and reduce these rents, which currently act as a barrier to entry into supply managed sectors.” However, the Conservative government did not react to that recommendation.

Instead, it noted the comments on the CWB issue. In response to a planted question from Medicine Hat Conservative LaVar Payne during the House of Commons’ Sept. 19 question period, agriculture minister Gerry Ritz said the OECD report reinforces the opportunities that the end of the CWB monopoly bring. “His farmers, my farmers and farmers from all across Western Canada are embracing the opportunities they now have available to them under the Marketing Freedom for Grain Farmers Act that we passed earlier this spring.”

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.

Manitoba farm education centre off to slow start BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

It didn’t attract as many visitors as expected, but agricultural education leaders in Manitoba are pleased by the impact of the Bruce D. Campbell Farm & Food Discovery Centre. The education centre, which opened September 2011 at the Univ e r s i t y o f Ma n i t o b a’s G l e n l e a Research Station south of Winnipeg, drew 4,000 to 5,000 visitors in its first year of operation. The number of guests was well below the goal of 30,000 visitors per year, but the results weren’t surprising, said Guy Robbins, the centre’s visitor services manager. “We were brand new and there wasn’t much name recognition,” said Robbins. “For the first year, we knew there would be a smaller step and then this year and next year we’ll build up.” The centre features a tractor simulator in which visitors can cultivate a field, as well as other hands-on exhibits about grain production. It also provides a direct look into livestock production because the centre is connected to a hog barn. The public can view sows and piglets through windows at the centre, which always makes an impression on visitors, Robbins said. “Most people … are amazed by the size of the pigs.” Robbins was satisfied with the first year of operation because the centre did establish connections with schools and teachers in Manitoba. Three to four school groups toured the centre each week during spring and fall, and many teachers plan to bring their students back this year. However, only a few Manitoba families initially visited the centre, prompting it to launch a public awareness campaign. It bought a local television ad and promoted the centre at events such as the Red River Exhibition. The efforts paid off as more people dropped by this summer, Robbins said. “We had a lot of families coming round. Grandparents with the grandchildren, that sort of thing.” It may take time to reach the goal of 30,000 visitors, but the discovery centre is already making a difference, said Johanne Ross, executive director of Agriculture in the Classroom Manitoba. Ag in the Classroom holds teacher workshops at the centre, which offers an engaging location to share the story of agriculture, Ross said. “I think it’s made a super impact with the teachers,” she said. “We’ve never had that before, where teachers can get up and close with the industry in that way.” The centre has also added a section for toddlers, with books and farm toys. As well, Robbins is developing plans to promote agriculture as a career. They want to bring in food developers, market advisers, soil scientists and other ag professionals to share information on job opportunities in the field. “We’re looking to have some days where we’ll have eight to 10 (professionals) who will come in and talk to students about… what they do and why they enjoy it.”

Evans determined that copper deficient soil on the Prairies hampers cereal production. Crop yields soared when the mineral was added. As a horticulturalist, he also propagated a species of cherry tree that is now sold commercially throughout Canada and the United States. Hamilton of Innisfail helped establish Angus cattle as one of the largest breeds in Canada. She was instrumental in establishing the national cattle identification program.

Better seed in so many weighs. Farming is large-scale, and at DuPont Pioneer, we think seed trials should reﬂect real farming. That’s why each year we test our seed products in over 1000 large-scale Proving Ground™ trials of canola, corn and soybeans across Western Canada. And why you’ve probably seen a Pioneer Hi-Bred sales rep with a weigh wagon checking yield results on a farm near you. Ask your Pioneer Hi-Bred sales rep about Proving Ground trial results in your area.

VEGETABLES | PRODUCTION

Alta. growers provide tasty, unique vegetables Carrots may be purple or white, beets striped or orange

STRATHMORE, Alta. — Harvest in the vegetable business is five grueling months of picking and packaging. For Cam Beard of Carseland, Alta., work starts in July with the cutting of tender beet tops and continues until the beginning of November when he pulls the last of the parsnips. Working with Rosemary Wotske at Poplar Bluff Organics near Strathmore, the two farms supply a variety of root vegetables and potatoes to Calgary area organic grocers and restaurants. Beard, a professional trucker, was hauling potatoes for Wotske when he was convinced five years ago to set aside 40 acres of land on his family’s farm for root vegetables. Wotske has been in the business for 27 years, and had the packing and storage facilities as well as the customer contacts. Poplar Bluff grows a variety of potatoes including fingerlings, french fry types, yellow potatoes, heritage and fresh table market spuds. The restaurant trade has been good for the partners. They have sold at farmers’ markets but found many

customers were reluctant to try new or unusual vegetables. Chefs are willing to try new things and more are following the trend of buying and serving local food. Wotske originally met some Calgary chefs at a sustainable agriculture conference. They were looking for farm fresh produce and she was looking for buyers to take her dozens of varieties that could be used for fries, mashed potatoes or salads. “When you go into a restaurant and meet a chef, he doesn’t go, ‘I don’t know how to cook that.’ He says, yes.’ ” She farms on 140 irrigated acres and grows potatoes on 30 to 40 acres a year so that she can rotate the fields. She is looking to rent more land so she can expand her rotation. Potatoes should be rotated every four years to prevent disease. The resting fields are planted to peas, fall rye or wheat, which are plowed back into the soil before they bloom. Poplar Bluff uses commercial sized digging equipment and most recently built a large atmosphere controlled storage facility. The farm employs three full-time and four seasonal staff. Organic production was considered an anomaly when Wotske start-

She has had few disease or insect problems because the farm is isolated from other vegetable operations. While she prefers organic, her clients are less discerning. “Among my restaurant clients, being organic isn’t even in the top five reasons they are buying from me. They are buying from me because it tastes better and they haven’t made the connection between organics and better flavour,” she said. “When you don’t push the plant with nitrogen and water, you allow them to achieve their genetic potential and they are able to scrounge up the minerals at their pace and it goes

into the plant.” Wotske has a master’s degree in biochemistry and genetics. Finding seed is a challenge, so she often saves her own, especially for heritage varieties. Some commercial farmers abandoned certain varieties years ago because they did not process or store well. Some are expensive to grow. “Because I charge more, I can afford to grow ones that have terrific flavour and are wonderful to eat,” she said. Similar experiments are conducted at Carrots by Cam with parsnips, carrots and beets of different shapes and colours. Carrots come in purple, red, white, yellow or orange, while the beets are striped, orange and red.

Beard doesn’t use chemicals, which forces him to pull weeds by hand. Fertility comes from applications of fish meal, molasses and dead plant material. “When I went organic I thought I would get rid of the sprayer and I wouldn’t have to calibrate it anymore. Now we use the sprayer to put nutrients on the soil and on the plants,” Beard said. “If you have healthy soil, you’ll have healthy plants.” Wotske takes orders on Tuesday once harvest starts and digs vegetables as needed. The potatoes are dug and stored dirty in an atmosphere controlled warehouse, while the carrots are picked over and washed. Carrots must be washed to prevent staining.

CO-OPERATIVES | JURISDICTION

Quebec minister faces decision on supports

Co-operative group backs governance change

Ag minister, deputy premier | Whether to sign on to the Growing Forward 2 on front burner BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Quebecâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new agriculture minister is the most veteran politician in the province. FranĂ§ois Gendron, first elected in 1976 with former premier RenĂŠ Levesque and re-elected eight times since, was sworn in as the Parti Quebecoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; agriculture minister and deputy premier Sept. 20. One of his first decisions will be whether to sign Quebec onto the Growing Forward 2 five-year policy framework that switches the empha-

sis of federal-provincial programming from farm income support to investment in research, innovation and competitiveness programs. No Quebec minister was in Whitehorse Sept. 14 for the GF2 agreement because the new PQ government had not been sworn in yet. As a result, the province did not sign on. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a big cut in farm support, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure Mr. Gendron will look at the agreement and decide if it is Quebecâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interest,â&#x20AC;? Bloc QuĂŠbecois MP and former agriculture critic AndrĂŠ Bellavance said Sept. 21. P re m i e r Pa u l i n e Ma ro i s h a s

instructed Gendron to promote sovereignty for Quebec and devise policies that will promote food sovereignty. It echoes the pledge by the first PQ agriculture minister, Jean Garon, in 1976 that Quebec would become food self-sufficient so that when it separated from Canada, it would be able to feed itself. Bellavance said food sovereignty means supporting and promoting local production but not excluding food from other provinces or abroad. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Food self-sufficiency or food sovereignty means promoting local

produce, making sure that it is on store shelves because supporting local farmers means supporting local communities,â&#x20AC;? said Bellavance. Gendron, 67, represents a rural Quebec riding. Bellavance said the fact that he also has been named deputy premier is important. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For too long when people talk about the economy, they leave agriculture out,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As vice-premier, he will have a strong voice and I think agriculture will have a strong presence in the new government. It is a good thing.â&#x20AC;?

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

A special House of Commons committee on co-operatives has recommended that responsibility for the sector be moved from Agriculture Canada to Industry Canada. The committee, chaired by Alberta Conservative Blake Richards, also recommended Sept. 17 that the government recognize the importance of the sector in the Canadian economy, and that government agencies work with co-ops to make sure their programs fit the sectorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs. Richards said the impact of the sector is indisputable, with its millions of members and hundreds of billions of dollars in assets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;C o - o p e rat i v e s hav e p rov e n remarkably resilient and they are a key contributor to Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economic recovery,â&#x20AC;? he said. The Conser vatives caused an uproar In last springâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget by ending funding for the Co-operative Development Initiative, which helped nurture new and emerging co-ops and slashed funding for the co-op secretariat within the department. Co-operative leaders condemned the cuts, while agriculture minister Gerry Ritz insisted the sector is strong enough that it does not need small pots of government money. The all-party committee did not mention the cuts, although the New Democratic Party issued a minority report calling for a renewal of the CDI fund and a strengthening of government support for co-ops. However, co-op movement leaders said they were happy with the committee report and its recommendations. It said the report reinforces the need for continued contact between government and the sector, which could lead to new ways to support new co-operatives. Shawn Murphy, manager of government relations for the Canadian Co-operative Association, said the recommendation to put Industry Canada in charge of the file is a good one. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We find it a better fit to move from agriculture because not all coops are agriculture co-ops and that was part of the reason the program was cut because it was not considered a core program by Agriculture Canada,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being housed in industry is a better fit in the long run and government will understand co-ops are businesses.â&#x20AC;? Murphy said sector leaders decided it would not be useful to continue to fight against last springâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funding cuts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The sector was upset, but there was an understanding that this government in particular does not change its mind on a decision so they are not going to come back with this program,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see any value in flogging this issue and we are still disappointed, but we see an opportunity to develop something new.â&#x20AC;?

HEALTH | H1N1

Canadian catches H1N1 variant after pig contact Hog to human transfer a rare occurrence | Public health officials stress Ontario case is not a food safety issue OTTAWA (Reuters) — A Canadian man has been infected with an H1N1 variant influenza virus after close contact with pigs, said a senior health official for Ontario. “I would like to reassure Ontarians that this variant influenza virus rarely spreads from animals to humans. Subsequent human-to-human transmission is also rare,” Arlene King, Ontario’s chief medical officer of health, said in a prepared statement. An influenza virus that normally circulates in animals is referred to as

a var iant vir us when it infects humans. In such cases it is labelled H1N1v. “I would also like to stress that this is not a food safety issue; the consumption of properly cooked pork continues to be safe. Proper cooking of meats, including pork, kills all bacteria and viruses,” King said. H1N1 is a swine flu virus responsible for a pandemic in 2009 that began in the United States and Mexico and spread around the world in six weeks. It rocked the global pork trade when about a dozen countries temporarily

restricted Canadian pork imports after the virus spread to a pig farm in Alberta. “The identification of this case is the result of the strength of our current surveillance system here in Ontario,” King said. “It is not an unexpected occurrence, and there have been a number of human infections with variant influenza viruses in the United States over the past year.” The Canadian resident is being treated in a hospital in southwestern Ontario.

Tori Gass, a spokesperson for the Ontario health ministry, said the infected man recently was in contact with swine in Canada and the U.S., but officials are still investigating where he would have contracted the virus. Agriculture minister Gerry Ritz said the government would take steps to reassure its export markets. Canada is the world’s biggest exporter of live hogs, mostly to the U.S., and the third-largest pork shipper. “The biggest thing is we always tell

people in Canada, our food supply is safe, and the Americans work with us in that regard,” Ritz said. The case is unlikely to cause the same backlash against Canada by pork importers that it did in 2009, said Martin Rice, executive director of the Canadian Pork Council. “H1N1 sends off alarm bells in certain people’s minds simply because of their recollection, but by no means is this looked at as something that will evolve into a big health undertaking that would have implications for trade,” he said.

University ag program caters to First Nations University of Saskatchewan | Program requested by major farming companies looking to recruit from First Nations BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A small group of students convocating from the University of Saskatchewanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agriculture college this fall are the first to complete a program geared toward First Nation students and agribusiness. Five students comprise the first class from the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aboriginal agriculture and land management program, receiving a post-graduate diploma.

Another four students are just starting the two-semester long program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Aboriginal students have traditionally not looked at agriculture and land management as a career ... so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re kind of breaking into a new area of inquiry for aboriginal students,â&#x20AC;? said program co-ordinator Wayne Robinson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taking a little longer to attract attention than we wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve liked, but I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m surprised by it.â&#x20AC;? Courses are designed for students

coming from non-agricultural backgrounds and offer an education in agriculture, business practices and economic development. The program was launched following a $1 million donation from the Sprott Foundation in 2011. Sprott Resources operates One Earth Farms, a large corporate operation that has partnerships with First Nations communities in Saskatchewan and Alberta. The first intake of students was made following consultations with

industry, said Robinson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Essentially what industry told us was that there was a desire to hire more aboriginal people and specifically they were interested in employees who understand the language of agriculture and have the knowledge and skills to operate at that interface between aboriginal communities and agribusiness,â&#x20AC;? said Robinson. The program includes a work experience component, which is how Michelle Delorme, a practising lawyer when she enrolled in the pro-

gram, went to work for One Earth Farms, where she worked with leases and contracts and acted as a liaison with First Nation communities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Into the future, there needs to be a greater approach to get students involved in the industry,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fine to be touring us around to these facilities and getting us to look at equipment and go to trade shows and everything, but I think work placements are a big thing.â&#x20AC;? Projections show the aboriginal population in Saskatchewan growing to one in four people between the ages of 20 and 29 by 2016. Bert Sutherland, chair of the Greater Saskatoon Chamber of Commerceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agribusiness development committee, said he has identified an employment shortfall and sees potential to work more closely with First Nations leaders and communities. However, he said it requires leadership. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It sickens me to think that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all these jobs, all this work, in the province of Saskatchewan right now today that aboriginal people could fill and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not. And training is part of it, but part of it is somebody actually having an entrepreneurial mind and seeing that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an opportunity and saying, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;How do we grasp this?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153; said Sutherland. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Could they do it? Could they learn it? Whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re agricultural or not, absolutely you can.â&#x20AC;?

BRITISH COLUMBIA | CABINET APPOINTMENT

New B.C. ag minister eager to listen, learn, promote Business background | Norm Letnick’s appointment was applauded by Okanagan fruit growers BY ROSS FREAKE FREELANCE WRITER

KELOWNA, B.C. — Kirpal Boparai performed what he called a Letnick happy dance when he heard that his MLA had been sworn in as the new British Columbia agriculture minister Sept. 5. “It was a dance of happiness,” said the president of the B.C. Fruit Growers Association as he picked Gala and McIntosh apples on his 70-acre farm in Kelowna. “I think it’s fantastic.” Boparai said Norm Letnick has more empathy for farmers than most agriculture ministers he has met in a lifetime as an orchardist. “When we told him how tough it is, he heard the pain of growers.” While Letnick has achieved success in business and has moved halfway across the country in the course of his career, he hasn’t strayed far from his roots, where he learned early the meaning of frugal. “I’m just a kid from Montreal who grew up in a tough neighbourhood and had to learn about market economics the hard way,” he said, recalling that he earned money as a 12-year-old hauling people’s groceries home in his red wagon. “There were a few boys who had wagons who didn’t appreciate another kid coming into their territory. I had to bring my big brother to reinforce the idea that it was a free market.” At 19, he followed his girlfriend to the University of Calgary, paying his way by teaching mountain climbing in Banff. After graduating with a degree in commerce, he got his first job as a Banff tow-truck operator, but soon started his first business, a computer store. While owning that computer store, two H&R Block stores and a Motorola dealership, he served on Banff council and, in addition to the Rotary club, was president of a host of public committees and chair of the hospital board. But the urge to keep moving west persisted and when he sold his last business in 1998, his oldest of three children was 14 and he and his wife, Helene, knew that if they wanted to leave for bigger and greener pastures,

I think I’m a good communicator. That will help when I’m working on expanding markets into other provinces, and try to expand markets in other countries. NORM LETNICK B.C. AGRICULTURE MINISTER

the time was ripe. “And we loved the Okanagan.” He arrived in Kelowna jobless, but, after polishing his golf swing, started teaching business at Okanagan University College part-time while working on his MBA. “The second year they hired me full time while I was doing the MBA. It was pretty hectic.” However, the self-confessed workaholic thrived. He was president of the Rotary and Gyro clubs, a city councillor and, while working on his doctorate in health economics, ran for, and was elected to the B.C. legislature in 2009. “Like all MLAs, I was hopeful I would get the tap on the shoulder, but there are 85 MLAs and only 20 can get into cabinet.” That tap came this summer when ministers started announcing they wouldn’t run in the next election, which meant they had to vacate their ministerial offices. “Everyone knew calls were being made and I was thinking if I got the call, agriculture was definitely (on my list).” The call came on a Tuesday afternoon and that night, at her home in Vancouver, premier Christy Clark asked him to be agriculture minister. While Letnick lacks direct connection with the soil, he has a good knowledge of the fruit industry because many constituents are orchardists. Boparai acknowledged him as the quarterback of a threeyear, $2-million replant program. “I think I have some experience I can bring to table,” Letnick said. “Agriculture is a business. You have to love the land, but you have to know business. “When I’m sitting down with first

ministers, like I did in Whitehorse, negotiating a multibillion Going Forward agreement, it takes a lot of business sense and a lot of diplomacy. If you don’t know business, know the numbers, people can pull the wool over your eyes pretty fast.” Letnick said he believes communication is critical. “I think I’m a good communicator. That will help when I’m working on expanding markets into other provinces, and try to expand markets in other countries.” Letnick acknowledges he has a lot to learn, but believes he’s up to the challenge of being agriculture’s cheerleader and salesperson. “What got me here is the passion to do the best job as I can. My goal is to understand the key areas, the key challenges, the key opportunities that face people who are backed by this ministry, that they trust this businessman from Kelowna is actually doing a good job and that they can contact me if they think I’m not or have ideas they think will help.”

CANADIAN FOODGRAINS PROJECTS | FUNDRAISING

Farmers, firms support foodgrains BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

The Canadian Foodgrains Bank is looking to three or four more harvest bees to complete its grain growing projects for 2012. Regional co-ordinator Andre Visscher said Sept. 24 that total fundraising will depend on grain prices, but he expects farmers’ charitable donations to be substantial. “This year we hope to raise, in grain alone in Alberta, around $1.7 million,” he said. There were 35 grain growing projects in the province this year comprising 4,500 acres. There are more than 200 projects across Canada.

Money raised through grain sales and cash donations is used to provide food aid to people in need and for projects that promote food security in areas consistently without sufficient local food production. Visscher said several communities have expressed interest in starting foodgrains bank growing projects this year. He is looking for a group to farm land offered near Claresholm, Alta., and another group who will farm land near Calgary. There is also interest in starting a project in the Vulcan region. The foodgrains bank will be a recipient of fundraising by Dow AgroSciences through sponsorship of the Canadian Football League

Grey Cup 100 Train Tour. The train is designed to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the CFL that will culminate in the Grey Cup game played Nov. 25 in Toronto. People who “like” the train tour on Facebook, which is found at nexerathankyoutrain, will prompt a $2 donation from Dow AgroSciences up to a maximum of $10,000. The last prairie stop for the train was Oct. 3 in Minnedosa, Man. It included displays of Grey Cup rings, historical material about the game and a mock-up locker of three players from each team in the CFL. Visscher said Dow also provided $40,000 worth of chemicals for foodgrains growing projects this year.

U.S., Mexico pricing dispute hurts Ontario BY JEFFREY CARTER FREELANCE WRITER

LEAMINGTON, Ont. — A combination of predatory pricing, a glut of fresh tomatoes and a trade dispute between the United States and Mexico is taking its toll on Ontario’s greenhouse vegetable industry. “There’s not enough money going to the growers,” said a producer who did not wish to be identified. “The marketing board is seeing this, and the banks are worried because it could force a lot of people into bankruptcy.” Brian Gilvesy, general manager of the Ontario Greenhouse Vegetable Growers, said growers have already left the industry, and others will follow if the situation doesn’t change soon. Pepper and cucumber growers have been affected, but tomato growers have been especially hard hit. Gilvesy said yields of greenhouse tomatoes, field tomatoes and tomatoes grown under shade cloth have generally been good in the Mexican, U.S. and Canadian growing regions. Also affecting the tomato crop has been a dispute over a long-standing agreement between Mexico and the U.S. concerning Mexican fresh tomato exports. A deal was struck 16 years ago to set pricing. Mexican tomatoes moving into the U.S. still fall within the parameters of the deal, but U.S. growers now say they’re hurting their market. The U.S. has appealed to have the original deal suspended and go back to the position that Mexico is dumping tomatoes below their cost of production. The grower also talked about the problem of predatory pricing. He said some marketers undercut their competition to capture a bigger share of the business. The result is a downward spiral in prices. “The guys who are surviving the best are those people who market themselves and have a certain amount of volume,” he said. “If you’re a small grower, that doesn’t work.” Retail prices have also been a concern. Gilvesy said some growers feel prices that consumers pay have remained relatively high despite the lower prices they receive.

Dag Falck and the Raging Grannies activist group show the crowd what they consider to be potential problems of a genetically modified apple at the Okanagan Organic Festival held Sept. 23 in Kelowna, B.C. | ROSS FREAKE PHOTO ORGANICS | GM OPPOSITION

GM apple critics express views at organic festival BY ROSS FREAKE FREELANCE WRITER

KELOWNA, B.C. —Dag Falck went visual to explain his opposition to genetically modified apples. Falck, organic project manager for organic cereal company Nature’s Path, was arguing at the recent Okanagan Organic Festival that government approval of a genetically modified apple called Arctic will hurt farmers and consumers. Volunteers held up yellow tape representing a gene strand as Falck added different coloured tape to illustrate other genes or blocking agents being introduced. Four genes have been turned off in the Arctic apple — a combination of Granny Smith and Golden Delicious — so it won’t brown when cut, bruised or eaten. Opponents claim scientists

don’t know what happens to consumers over time when a gene is turned on or off, or when a new one is inserted into an organism. “In our natural DNA, there’s a light switch that turns a gene on of off, but they don’t get turned full on or full off,” Falck said. “It’s like a dimmer switch; it slides up and down according to the influences on us. But we couldn’t find the dimmer switch, we found the on-off switch.” Apple grower Fred Steele, former vice-president of the British Columbia Tree Fruit Association, said the economics worry him more than the science. “Why do you think U.S. growers are urging the U.S. Department of Agriculture not to approve the Arctic apples? Because they will lose their industry,” he said. “Not just the organic, but the con-

ventional industry because people don’t want genetically modified fruit.” Fred Carter, the Summerland apple grower promoting the Arctic, wrote in a blog that concerns are unwarranted. “The natural reality of how apples are pollinated combined w ith orchard practices such as buffers will

act like fences between Arctic and other orchards,” he said. “Even if Arctic apple pollen does fertilize a conventional or organic apple blossom, Arctic apple genes might be present only in a small portion of the resulting fruits’ inedible seeds — not in the apples’ edible parts.”

(Reuters) — Glencore International’s takeover of Canada’s biggest grain handler, Viterra, may not close until as late as Nov. 15 while a review by China’s ministry of commerce continues, Viterra said. The $6.1 billion deal was originally expected to close by late July, pending regulatory approvals. China’s commerce ministry is the last regulatory approval required under the nation’s anti-monopoly law. The takeover delay would also slow the completion of side deals Glencore has to sell some Viterra assets to Agrium Inc., Richardson International Ltd and CF Industries Holdings Inc. Glencore has agreed to sell most of Viterra’s Canadian and Australian farm supply stores to Agrium for $575 million, and some of Viterra’s country elevators, port storage space and processing plants to Richardson for $900 million. Glencore would sell Viterra’s minority stake in Canadian Fertilizers Ltd, which is an Alberta nitrogen plant, to the site’s majority owner, CF Industries, for $915 million. Agrium would probably complete its deal in early 2013, spokesperson Richard Downey said, pending approval by Canada’s Competition Bureau and assuming Glencore completes the Viterra takeover as late as mid-November.

WHEAT BREEDING | COLLABORATION

N.D. university signs wheat deal with Monsanto Breeding technology | University plant breeders say the agreement will speed development of new wheat varieties BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Wheat breeders at North Dakota State University have reached an agreement with Monsanto that will allow the university to use the company’s proprietary plant breeding technology. The deal, announced Sept. 21, should allow NDSU wheat breeders to speed up the development and release of new wheat varieties that offer higher yields, better end-use quality and improved agronomic performance. It also allows for shared access of Monsanto and NDSU wheat germplasm and will enable the two organizations to collaborate on the development of new marker assisted breeding technology. Mo n s a n t o o f f e re d f e w o t h e r details, but Sara Miller, the company’s director of corporate commu-

nications, said the deal will benefit the university, North Dakota wheat growers and Monsanto, which is show ing increased interest in wheat breeding programs in North America. Monsanto reached a similar agreement with wheat breeders at Kansas State University in 2010. It also has a similar deal with researchers at Virginia Tech and is looking at establishing collaborative relationships with other universitybased wheat breeding programs, said Miller. “We have a rich history of collaboration with universities and public sector institutions around the world … and we truly believe that growers will continue to benefit from these types of collaborations,” Miller said. Ken Grafton, NDSU’s vice-president for agricultural affairs, said the deal will give the university access to

M o n s a n t o’s h i g h - t h ro u g h p u t molecular technology, allowing NDSU plant breeders to assess the genetic makeup of wheat germplasm resources more rapidly and more efficiently. “We will have access to their high throughput modular system to … help us evaluate our materials using molecular analysis, and that’s something that’s very powerful,” said Grafton. “We’re currently using molecular markers in our breeding programs, including our hard red spring wheat programs, but we don’t really have the high-throughput capacity that Monsanto has.… I think what it will mean, first and foremost, is that we’re getting … (new varieties) out to the growers more rapidly and more efficiently.” Provisions that give Monsanto access to NDSU germplasm will benefit both organizations and should not be viewed as a threat to publicly funded wheat breeding programs, Grafton added. “There is a germplasm exchange included in the agreement, and that’s always good,” he said. “Whenever you’ve got various breeding programs that exchange germplasm, that helps broaden the germplasm pool for each program,

In terms of Canada, as we develop advanced breeding technologies in wheat, we are hopeful there will be opportunities for us to bring improvements to wheat in varieties adapted for the Canadian climate. SARA MILLER MONSANTO

and that’s important to maintaining genetic variability.” The deal is unlikely to change the way NDSU wheat varieties are commercialized, Grafton said. “In terms of the North Dakota producer, I don’t think he or she will see any major differences five or 10 years down the road … in terms of revenue structures,” he said. “We fully anticipate that NDSU (wheat) varieties will remain in the public domain.” In Canada, the development of public-private partnerships in plant breeding programs is generating both interest and concern. With federal support for public

plant breeding increasingly uncertain, many observers expect private sector companies to play a more prominent role in developing and commercializing new crop varieties. Monsanto has not reached collaborative agreements with wheat breeding programs at Canadian universities, said Miller. Wheat is not a core crop for Monsanto’s Canadian business, so the company has not finalized any longterm business plans for the crop in Canada, she said. However, the company is open to suggestions. “In terms of Canada, as we develop advanced breeding technologies in wheat, we are hopeful there will be opportunities for us to bring improvements to wheat in varieties adapted for the Canadian climate,” Miller said in an e-mail. “At this time, though, we have not initiated any discussions with academic institutions, nor do we have a w h e a t b re e d i n g p ro g r a m i n Canada. Monsanto remains open to dialogue, though, and we are interested in working with the industry to develop a path forward for enhanced research and a higher level of wheat investment in Canada.”

CANOLA | YIELDS

CORN | YIELDS

Denser canola advised, but it can only do so much Heat builds up in thick stands | Performance linked to weather, says crop specialist STORIES BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Denser plant stands might have improved canola yields this year, but a thicker crop doesn’t protect individual plants from scorching heat, said a Canola Council of Canada agronomist. The canola council urges growers to target a crop density of five plants per sq. foot or higher because plant stands below that figure will hamper yield. However, a stand of six, seven or eight plants per sq. foot won’t shield plants from extreme summer heat during bloom, said Angela Brackenreed, a council agronomist in Manitoba. “The heat and dry conditions are still going to do the same thing to the plants whether there are four or 14 (plants) per sq. foot.” Yantai Gan, an Agriculture Canada scientist in Swift Current, Sask., has conducted trials dem-

onstrating a connection between canola plant stands and yield. Based on results from sites near Brandon, Gan found plots with 2.8 plants per sq. foot yielded 25 bu. per acre, while sites with 7.4 plants per sq. foot yielded 37 bu. per acre. Despite the significant yield gains, canola council surveys indicate that 75 percent of producers don’t do plant counts. Brackenreed said achieving more than five plants per sq. foot was critical in a year like 2012, when daytime temperatures around 30 C shortened the bloom period and caused pod abortion, because it provides “insurance” against all crop stresses. “If every single plant is yielding a little bit less, if you have more plants you can make up for that (loss).” There is a link between crop density and yield, but Murray Hartman, an oilseed specialist with Alberta Agriculture, said the poor performance of canola can be attributed

primarily to the weather. “When you get a low plant stand, you might be suffering a 10 or 15 percent yield loss, but this year we have guys that have a much higher yield loss … than that,” he said. “I haven’t heard anybody say it (yield loss) was just on my fields that were thin, low plant stands.” Hartman said producer management played a small role in poor canola yields. “It seems to be so general across the board that the yields are lower. It doesn’t seem to matter what you did…. It was the environment. And we don’t have much control over that.” Some Manitoba producers took advantage of an early snow melt in March to seed canola in early April. Early seeded canola usually yields more than late-seeded crops, but this year the reverse was true in many regions of the Prairies. Farmers might have preserved yields of those early seeded fields

and canola stressed by other factors if they had increased their seeding rates and established more plants per sq. foot, Brackenreed said. “In some cases in Manitoba, that seed was sitting in the ground upwards of two weeks. You know you’re not going to get as good of emergence,” she said. “I like to think of it (higher seeding rate) as an insurance policy.” Gan advised canola growers to use higher seeding rates, such as eight to nine lb. per acre. However, many producers stick to the old standard of five lb. per acre. Brackenreed said five lb. per acre might suffice if a producer has a good seed bed and positive growing condition, but it isn’t sufficient in a year with a cool spring, insects, disease and extreme heat. “Unfortunately, in a year like this, where there are a lot of stresses coming at us throughout the entire season, it maybe didn’t cut it.”

It seems to be so general across the board that the yields are lower. It doesn’t seem to matter what you did…. It was the environment. And we don’t have much control over that. MURRAY HARTMAN ALBERTA AGRICULTURE

Manitoba farmers expect high corn yields Considering the scalding temperatures and dry conditions on his farm this summer, Lorne Loeppky is feeling content about his corn crop. Loeppky, who farms near Niverville, Man., expects his corn yields will be above average this year. “It’s real early … but I’m thinking we’re going to end up (at) 120 to 130 (bushels per acre),” said Loeppky in late September, one day after he started combining the 1,280 acres of corn on his farm. Depending on the weather, it may take Loeppky 10 days to get the crop in the bin. But if the dry fall continues, Loeppky and dozens of Manitoba corn growers will harvest an excellent crop this year. Based on Manitoba Agriculture yield data, growers have reported yields of 80 to 130 bu. per acre, with many fields producing 110 to 120 bu. per acre. The average corn yield for Manitoba is around 100 bu. per acre.

100 bu./acre IS THE AVERAGE CORN YIELD IN MANITOBA The solid yields have surprised a few observers, including Morgan Cott, research agronomist with the Manitoba Corn Growers Association. “I wasn’t really expecting it to be as high as it is. I was expecting 100 across the board.” Unlike crops in Ontario and the U.S. Midwest, where corn plants suffered from excess heat and absent rainfall, Manitoba corn growers benefitted from steady rain in late May and early June. Environment Canada’s weather station in Winnipeg recorded 125 millimetres of precipitation from the middle of May until June 15. The early rain may have sustained the corn crop during the hot and arid weather of the summer months, said Pam de Rocquigny, a feed grains specialist with Manitoba Agriculture. “That (rain) helped the crop get established,” de Rocquigny said. “And corn has a real deep-rooting system. So perhaps it was able to access that sub-soil moisture that some of the cool season crops couldn’t access.” Manitoba growers planted nearly 300,000 acres of corn this year, obliterating the previous record of 225,000 acres. Given the above average yields and prices much higher than $7 per bu., there is a good chance Manitoba corn acres could set another record next year. “We’ve had really dry summers two years in a row and (we’re) still getting (decent) yields,” Cott said. “I’m hoping guys keep on growing it.”

SHELTER BELTS | BEES

Bees need trees, please Shelter belts vital | Wild bee population at risk? BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

INTERNATIONAL PEACE GARDEN, Manitoba-North Dakota border — Bulldozing a shelter belt can leave countless critters homeless. And some of those birds and bugs play a crucial role in farming operations. About half of agricultural crops rely on bees for pollination, said Mark Wonneck, an ecologist with Agriculture Canada in Calgary. Many farmers use managed or domestic honeybees during the crop-growing season, but wild bees are also helpful pollinators. Shelter belts provide ideal habitat for the many species of wild bees on the Prairies. “Seventy percent of wild bees are ground nesters and mostly solitary,” Wonneck told the Great Plains Windbreak conference this summer. They nest several centimetres

underground, under rocks or in gopher and mice holes. They need adequate pollen and nectar and protection from pesticides, which shelter belts often provide. Bees who live above ground can choose old trees for their homes. Wild bees typically stay close to their food sources, unlike domestic honeybees, which travel three kilometres from their hives and have been tracked as far as 14 km away. Smaller wild species fly only 200 metres from their nests. The most common wild bee, the bumblebee, is an efficient pollinator that lives in a quasi-colonial setting. All the bees need access to food throughout their active seasons, and it’s common for them to travel from a canola field to the nest and back. However, Wonneck said canola won’t do the trick all year. As well, canola doesn’t feed a lot of wild bees. Bees need flowers from April to August, and not all flowers are equal

Fruit trees that flower early can help, and flowering shrubs within a shelter belt provide food outside the canola flowering window. Wonneck said incorporating shrubs in clumps within the windbreak could provide a buffet of flowers. “We know very little about core

habitat size: how big or how wide should a shelter belt be,” he said. Pesticide use is common in farming operations but is detrimental to bees and shelter belts. Wonneck recommended a buffer if possible between the area being sprayed and the shelter belt. He also said it is better for bees if aerial spraying is done when they’re least active. “They’re like bankers,” he said to much laughter. “They’re out at 10 o’clock in the morning (and) they finish at three.” The extent of the role of wild bee

populations in crop pollination isn’t well known, he added, and there is no good data on the wild bee population. For example, 80 to 95 percent of the landscape is cultivated in central Alberta, and large wild populations couldn’t possibly be maintained without habitat. “Commodity canola is largely selfpollinating, and they say in the range of three percent to 20 percent of it could benefit from insects,” Wonneck said. “In hybrid seed canola, they actu-

INTERNATIONAL PEACE GARDEN, Manitoba-North Dakota border — The death of some trees can be predicted as soon as they are planted. Experts might not be able to say exactly what will kill the trees, but they know that some are more susceptible to disease and pests than others. That can destroy entire shelter belts and windbreaks. It depends on which trees are planted. “I can’t tell you what’s coming, but I can tell you if you’re planting a genus with lots and lots and lots of members, there’s lots and lots of potential for a future problem to come in and finish them all,” said John Ball, a forest health specialist at South Dakota State University. He told a Canadian-American windbreak conference this summer that the potential for pest and disease issues is high when trees are planted with close family members. He said there was a single large forest on the Earth before it settled into the continents and oceans that exist today. As a result, there are tree species that are similar no matter where they are found on Earth.

Some trees, such as oak, have hundreds of different species. Others, such as the coffee tree, have only two. However, Ball said trees also developed their own insect and disease problems as they settled into separate forests. Examples of what could happen include blight devastating American chestnuts in the early 20th century, Dutch elm disease wiping out millions of urban and rural trees and the more recent case of the emerald ash borer. “What do all three have in common?” he said. “The pest became a deadly threat when they were introduced to a new continent.” None of the three problems occurs in China, but the pests hitched a ride and recognized North American trees as hosts with no natural resistance as goods and people began to move back and forth. “I have job security,” he joked with the conference participants. “New pests are coming in all the time. We have lots of problems yet to come. The problem that we have, of course, in North America is the Chinese ship us all these goods that little things can come in and we ship them money and nothing will go with money.” North Americans have also made a CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

CORN | YIELDS

Ontario corn yields not as bad as first thought Forecast dips 10 percent | Yields largely dependent on timely rain and soil’s moisture capacity BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

After dozens of media reports this summer predicting disastrous corn yields in Ontario, a provincial corn expert is now saying the crop will likely come in slightly below average. It’s hard to know for certain, since the harvest is barely underway, but it appears that yields across Ontario will be 10 percent below average, said Greg Stewart, a corn specialist with Ontario’s agriculture ministry. “We’re just getting started into the corn harvest. Most guys are in soybeans right now,” Stewart said in late

September. “(But) the estimates are in the 135 to 140 (bushel per acre) range.” In Ontario, the five-year average corn yield is 150 bushels per acre. In July, journalists from newspaper, radio, television and online media filed hundreds of stories on the plight of Ontario farmers, as a drought threatened to wreck the province’s corn fields and other crops. A sizable number of Ontario corn growers will certainly harvest a poor crop this fall. However, the situation didn’t live up to the hyperbole widely reported two months ago. In general, yields will depend on

timely rain and the water holding capacity of the soil, Stewart said. “Much of the province was flirting with average (yields) most of the summer,” said Stewart. “If you got a rain at the right time, that’s pretty obtainable. If you missed that rain, all of sudden it looks sort of ugly.” Mark Brock, a corn and soybean grower near Staffa, Ont., said there are pockets around the province, including Hamilton, Brantford and Ottawa, where the corn crop has suffered. However, the crop looks excellent in the region around his farm. Brock won’t combine his corn until early October, but he is feeling confident

about potential yields. “We’re going to be above our longterm average and right around our five year average,” said Brock, who farms 1,400 acres, including 575 acres of corn this year. “I wouldn’t be surprised if we see 180 bushel corn…. We’ll be above our crop insurance average.” Corn prices are higher than $7 a bu., and Brock said this will be a year of extremes for Ontario corn growers. “Some guys will have their best year farming, with the high prices and good yields. Some guys are going to have some of their poorest yields in awhile.”

ally have male sterile plants and so they require insects to pollinate.” He said farmers bring in 80 hives of honeybees per quarter at a cost of $150 per hive, plus leafcutter bees, to get the pollination job done. The effect of this on wild bees also isn’t known. Preliminary research data shows a relationship between the number of wild bees and the amount of habitat within 500 metres to one km of a field, but Wonneck said researchers don’t know how much managed honeybees suppress the wild bees.

mistake by replacing one problem with another. Millions of dead elm trees were largely replaced with ash, which are now affected by the emerald ash borer. Planting maples to replace dead ash won’t work because there are more than 120 species of them. “It doesn’t mean we should stop planting maples, but it does mean we should have diversity on the landscape,” Ball said. He spends time in China each year collecting seeds from different sources to try to outsmart disease and pest. The trees have to be climatically suitable for the North American northern Plains. He also doesn’t want to introduce species that will become like weeds, such as the Norway maple, which became invasive and Siberian elms, which grow everywhere. Ball said Siberian elms can actually be nice trees, but the seeds that were first brought to North America were not the best varieties. A lot of careful selection has to go into bringing new species across the ocean. “This is a very long process,” he said. There are few pests that threaten all trees, Ball added. “Most of our lethal threats tend to be fairly genus specific.”

ROBL IN, Man. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; When Greg Bailes and his father, Frank, learned that the Grandview Fire Department was selling one of its old fire trucks, they realized that with a little work it could be a useful addition to their farm.

He removed the water pump and its engine and designed a lamp-arm inspired frame for a chemical mixing station on the back of the truck. Greg bought the mixing station from Setter Manufacturing in Russell, Man., for $6,500, which included a water pump to push to his sprayer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It had to clear the lights for going down the road, and to get up and out of the way for when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stored in the shed,â&#x20AC;? Greg said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to have to climb up on something with a ladder holding a 20 litre jug to mix. I wanted to do it on the ground where itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice and safe, and you can drain it when you need to without it running all over the platform.â&#x20AC;? Greg built a steel door between the cab and the water tank where the fire engine water pump used to sit that is strong enough to contain 100-litre barrels of chemical. His next step, which will complete the project, is to install suction lines from the barrels to the mixing station. This will reduce how often Greg has to handle 10-litre chemical jugs. As well, some chemicals are cheaper when bought by the barrel. Greg parks the truck beside a well and water tank when spraying fields close to the farm. A float operated system keeps the tank full, which allows the well water to warm up before itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pumped into the truck. He fills the truck and sprayer at the same time so that the truck is ready to go when he returns to the farm with the sprayer. He can also bring the truck out to help him finish a field when spraying land that is too far away from the farm to conveniently make multiple trips with the sprayer for filling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the spring, we spray 10 gallons an acre, so if we fill the sprayer before we go to the field, then itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just one fill from the truck on a quarter,â&#x20AC;? Greg said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the fall, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at five gallons an acre. The sprayer can do an entire field, but if the truck is brought out, it increases how much we can get done before having to come back to the farm.â&#x20AC;? It took Greg five days of work, after all the figuring, welding, plumbing and painting, to adopt the fire truck into a useful farm machine.

ANIMAL WELFARE | CULLING

SHIPPING RECOMMENDATIONS

Early cull avoids transport issues Humane shipping | Special consideration must be taken when shipping older animals to market BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Keeping an old cow for one more year may not be a compassionate decision. Videos posted on the internet by animal rights activists that reveal old, wobbly cows being treated badly in processing plants could be avoided if people got rid of those animals before they became downers. “The way to avoid that is to make those culling decisions earlier before they get into that bad shape,” said Reynold Bergen, head of the Beef Cattle Research Council. “Most people are doing the right thing to avoid it, but one mistake can multiply itself pretty quickly and turn itself into a catastrophic video,” he said. Old and weak cows that probably could not stand a long trip should be processed closer to home, he said. The extremely infirm should be euthanized. The closure of a cull cow plant in Quebec has made it difficult for eastern Canadian producers to decide

where to send cull dairy cows. Their options are six hour trips to Toronto, Guelph, Ont., or Pennsylvania. “If these cows are travelling further, we need to make extra sure that they are in good condition to make that trip,” he said. British Columbia dairy cows travel at least 12 hours across the mountains for processing in Alberta. “Dairy cows are special needs. They are fragile by nature,” said Jennifer Woods, who teaches a certified livestock transportation course to hundreds of truckers every year across North America. The certification course will be updated next year and continue to emphasize humane care for shipping dairy and beef cattle, sheep, poultry, meat horses and pigs of all ages and condition. Mostly healthy animals are moving to market this time of year, but producers need to take responsibility for older animals. “It starts back on the farm,” she said. “We need to be responsible going into the winter months because cold weather is hard on cull animals. We

need to ship animals before they become compromised.” Most producers and haulers are responsible and don’t move questionable animals. As well, transportation companies should not be put in a position of deciding whether an animal is fit to travel. They are liable if something happens and could be fined at the plant if animals are down. Agriculture Canada research has found that more than 99 percent of animals arrive at their destination without problems. “The risk of those animals falling into that category was highest with old market cows,” Bergen said. Livestock transportation in Canada is regulated by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and Transport Canada. Provincial departments of transport determine maximum trailer lengths and axle weight limits. Canadian researchers have worked since 2006 on improving loading densities, ventilation, the effects of time and distance and animal handling.

Agriculture Canada has developed travel recommendations based on risk. Finished and yearling cattle are low risk. They are young, healthy and have good fat cover, which helps them withstand transport stress. Medium risk may include feeder calves that are more tired and stressed from weaning, commingled with calves from other herds and fed unfamiliar feed in livestock markets. They may be injured in transit and are much more likely to get sick as a result of this accumulated stress. Calves are more susceptible as the time in truck increases, especially at more than 30 hours. Calves are also more sensitive than fat cattle to external temperatures of less than - 15 C or higher than 30 C. Market cows are at high risk, especially the old, thin or weak ones. Thin haired dairy cows from an insulated barn suffer more from the cold. They should be well bedded and segregated in the doghouse or back end of a trailer so they are loaded last and unloaded first.

The Canadian Cattlemen’s Association recommends some cows should not be shipped to auction marts under any circumstances. Do not load or transport animals that are: • excessively thin with a body condition score of one, due to hardware disease, lump jaw, malnutrition, old age or disease • have an obvious growth on the eyeball or eyelid. Advanced cases of cancer eye where the animal is blind or the eye has been obscured are not fit for human consumption and will be condemned at the packing plant • lame, downers, or those that cannot rise, stand and walk under their own power • have an obviously displaced or prolapsed vagina or rectum • lactating cows that are milking heavily or have mastitis, except for short distances, direct to slaughter • heavily pregnant cows or expected to calve within a few weeks • suspected of having diseases such as rabies, BSE or tuberculosis. Animals with a fever higher than 39 C should not be moved • stress can also depress the immune system. Less stress in transport reduces the risk of animals becoming sick after the trip is completed

BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

JANSEN, Sask. — Producers who plan to raise goats have to be flexible, says producer Brian Payne. That means making the best use of the equipment that is available and improvising, said Payne, owner of Caprina Farm & Ranch. “It’s hard to find goat stuff,” he told a recent tour of his operation near Jansen, Sask. “I don’t think we need to be rocket scientists or spend a lot of money specifically on goats. A little ingenuity and we can make it all work.” If the infrastructure at Payne’s farm looks familiar to cattle producers, it’s because it is. From the facilities where he overwinters his animals to the portable water system he uses in the pasture, Payne is, in fact, using a lot of cattle stuff. The ranch itself is a cattle facility “with pretty simple modifications,” Payne said. “They (goats) love to get their head stuck.… They will slip through spaces and they will purposefully put their head in places that you didn’t think anybody should think of putting their heads. But there it will be.” He has added slab fencing in the corrals, which keep bucks from going through. This is particularly critical for producers raising full blood goats and replacement animals. “When you’re selling seed stock to people, you want to try to do the best job you can to produce for them something that’s going to be better next year than it was last year and on into the future,” he said. “The goat industry has been held back a little bit because it’s been dominated by the show ring and there hasn’t been anybody that’s consistently performance testing.” Payne had a few hundred goats in pasture in early September, but many of the animals will overwinter on the farm in familiar three-sided shelters. He said they work well with some alterations, using curtains and flax bales to create a microclimate. Payne also uses a custom-built hay

approach — “cheap posts and panels” — which allows him to change on the fly if he identifies inefficiencies in the way he’s housing, moving, herding or feeding his animals. “Everybody here is still on a pio-

neering mission to commercialize our meat goat business so that we can run 500 or 1,000 nannies easily, cost effectively and efficient from a labour and feed point of view, and we’re not there yet.”

feeder, with slanted bars, built from rebar. The device can be adjusted to accommodate round or square bales and the needs of animals of different sizes. It can also be modified for fence-line feeding. “Does it waste hay? Yes. Do goats waste hay? Yes. The better the quality the hay in there, the less waste there is,” he said. “You’ll never get any hay feeder or system that’s totally waste free.” Payne has been grazing his goats this summer alongside cattle at the Wolverine community pasture, where they are contained with the existing fencing. However, a different situation, with smaller acres or where containment is a concern, could have different requirements to keep animals inside and predators out. “Not everyone has enough dogs. Some don’t have any,” said Jason Williams of Tru-Test Group, who provided a fencing demonstration for producers touring the Wolverine pasture. “I’ve always been in the mindset of how can we make your place work a little bit better. If you have something for a fence structure, let’s utilize that and hopefully save you a little money.” He recommended spending more money on small things, such as insulators for electric fences, and watching for grass near low-lying wires, which are necessary when containing goats. “I say that even if we have page wire, run a hot wire inside of the page, because old rams are terrible. Sheep are bad. They push and they push on page wire until it’s all caved in,” he said.

Feeding multitudes; keeping it hot COWBOY LOGIC

RYAN TAYLOR

here’s a piece of paper pinned up on the kitchen bulletin board of our church that says, “how to feed the multitudes.” It’s a step by step set of instructions and ingredients to put together enough scalloped potatoes and ham to serve after a funeral or for fellowship following church. We just had a potluck dinner following church last week as we begin to celebrate our 125th anniversary as a congregation. That’s another way to feed the multitudes: just ask everyone to bring something to contribute to the feed. Somehow we always end up with more than enough food, and about the right amount of variety from main dishes and casseroles to salads (some with vegetables, some with Jello and marshmallows and fruit) and desserts (you name your favourite sugary sensation, we’ve got it). Lots of coffee and some lemonade from the five gallon cooler jug and we not only fed the multitudes last Sunday, we gave people a chance to talk

to each other and have real face to face conversations. Children ate as much fruit, whipped cream and Jello “salad” as fast as they could and went outside to play with the other church members of similar height and energy. There are tools of the trade when feeding large groups of people: that five gallon water cooler, the big coffee boiler, paper or foam plates to save work for the clean-up crew and the must-have 18 quart electric roaster. I have a little experience in feeding the masses myself with a three year stint as chair of our church lutefisk supper. A successful supper always hinged on a lot of hard working church members, donated butter and pies and coleslaw, dozens and dozens of lefse made by the church women’s organization and a fleet of those must-have 18 quart electric roasters. The secret, I’ve learned, to keeping the electric roasters going with their batches of meatballs and gravy, corn, melted butter, warm potatoes and such is a steady supply of — you guessed it — electricity. That’s when it’s handy to have a fully licensed electrician as a member of your church and lutefisk crew. To ensure a steady supply of uninterrupted electrons, our electrician designed a board of higher amp 110 volt plug-ins with circuit breakers fed by a 220 volt power supply and

brought right to the roasters. It works like a charm and we’ve never served a cold meatball. So when I was going to a picnic with a friend last week, in which we were bringing the slush burger, or sloppy joes, or whatever your neighbourhood calls it, I wondered what we would do to heat up the roaster because it was a long drive and we were on a really tight schedule. She pulled out a brand new gizmo that converted the car’s cigarette lighter to 110 volt plug-in power. I raised one eyebrow and said, “uh, good idea, if it’ll work.” It would certainly be a time saver if we could cook slush burger and drive simultaneously. We’d pop out of that vehicle all smelling like a Manwich, but we’d be ready to picnic. The plan didn’t quite come together, though. The 1,200 or more watts the roaster needed was a little more than the cigarette lighter adapter was willing to give. So we warmed up the slush burger the old fashioned way — a little at a time in a microwave — and took it to the picnic spot to plug into a real outlet. I guess it takes more than a cigarette lighter adapter to open up a mobile kitchen. Roasters may feed the multitudes, but cars aren’t made to do the cooking.

Feedlots eye hay as way to save Tight margins | Feedlots looking for cheaper options are reminded to test feed for nutrition BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Several Alberta feedlots plan to replace silage with hay in some rations to reduce high feed costs. Barry Yaremcio, a beef and forage specialist with Alberta Agriculture, said western Canadian hay is moving east to drought-stricken provinces and south to the United States, but some feedlots in Alberta are paying $60 to $70 a ton for the feed. “For every pound of hay that you feed, that will replace 2.5 lb. of silage,” said Yaremcio. That makes hay a potential money saver, considering that hay at $60 per ton equates to $150 per ton silage on an equivalent dry matter basis. “I don’t think they care if it’s twoyear-old hay or this year’s hay,” he said. “Everybody’s looking at any option they can to reduce feeding costs this winter. It’s anyplace from 80 cents to $1 a pound for break-evens on feedlot cattle. There’s not much left when values are that high.” Lethbridge barley, in the heart of feedlot alley, is selling for about $6 per bushel now compared to $2.40 per bu. two years ago. Higher feed costs create tight profit margins for feeders. Smaller feedlots and backgrounders might consider buying lighter bushel weight barley, in the range of 35 to 45 lb., as a way to reduce costs, said Yaremcio. “If you try to find that and use it to feed cows or backgrounding for calves, it will work just as well as 48 or 50 lb. barley,” he said. Animal performance is reduced by about one percent for every pound below 42 lb. per bushel barley. Feedlots don’t like it for that reason, and because it complicates the rolling process. As a result, it might be available to others at a lower per bushel price.

Feed costs are encouraging many producers to look at cheaper alternatives, but caution is required so that animal health and production aren’t impaired. “In most situations, an alternative or unusual feedstuff typically should not be included in more than 25 percent of the ration because sometimes we just don’t know what the impact is going to be on feed intake, utilization, the impact it has on an animal’s immune function or reproductive system,” said Yaremcio. Some producers have inquired about feeding kochia this winter, but any that is baled now will likely have a feed value no better than straw. Yaremcio said kochia typically has high salt levels, which will increase water intake and discourage cattle from using salt and mineral supplements. Kochia can also cause photosensitivity in cattle, leading to blisters around the eyes, nose and udder. Older kochia is high in oxalates, which interfere with calcium absorption. It can also be dangerously high in sulfur. Testing is recommended on all feed, particularly alternative feeds, said Yaremcio. Heavy hay yields in parts of Alberta this year resulted in low protein levels in forage, so supplements may be required. Grazing chaff piles and the aftermath from cereal harvest is one way to stretch feed, but those too may be low in protein and could result in low cow condition heading into winter. “A cow that is 100 lb. light … because feed was lacking or the quality wasn’t there … will take an extra 1,400 lb. of hay over the winter just to stay warm,” he said. If feed is short, cow-calf producers should consider weaning early to reduce cows’ nutrition requirements and allow them to gain condition before winter begins.

CATTLE MARKETING | INTERNET AUCTIONS

Benefits to direct shipping cattle ANIMAL HEALTH

ROY LEWIS, DVM

Time and trucking costs are eliminated by avoiding feedlots and auction marts

t has long been recognized that livestock transportation, combined with commingling cattle, greatly increases stress, shrinkage and the incidence of the bovine respiratory disease complex. Auction markets have responded by organizing satellite and internet sales as a way to market larger groups of cattle without them leaving the farm. This is positive for sellers and buyers: a classic win-win situation. Selling and shipping directly eliminates one extra transportation step because the cattle move directly to the buyer. Travel time is lessened and there is no commingling unless the buyer decides to do that on his own place with other purchased cattle. Shrinkage is minimized and the buyer is able to obtain a detailed description of what the cattle have received for preventive shots. This may eliminate the need to repeat procedures such as endectocide implanting and vaccinations when the cattle reach their new home. The traditional auction system sets

the price with competitive bidding, but it also substantially increases shrinkage. Shrinkage at the auction market could approach or exceed 10 percent with green cattle that have been weaned overnight. Direct shipped cattle are often given a predetermined shrinkage calculation. A sliding grid is established, depending on the cattle’s final weight when delivered. The bottom line is keeping it fair for both sides. There is a fair bit of redundancy in the cattle industry when it comes to vaccinating, endectocides, deworming, ear tagging, branding and implanting. It can be useful to have a health history that follows cattle through the system when the source is known and it is a large group. For example, it’s nice to know the date when cattle were implanted so that the implants are not stacked. If the former implants are almost used up, then producers can start with their own implant protocol. Taking an entire group off the farm might mean a few different coloured calves, smaller ones or ones with slight imperfections such as frozen ears, scarred eyes and warts. However, the advantage of getting an entire group that hasn’t been commingled and has been on the same feed and herd health program far outweighs the disadvantages of these non-uniform cattle. Besides, feedlot pens are generally full of all the colours anyway, and sorts are done closer to finishing so that the cattle that came in lighter can be fed longer. As well, slight frost damage to ears is inconsequential. Commingling exposes cattle to a myriad of pathogens when they are

highly stressed. Even if feedlots need to put cattle from two, three or four owners together in a pen, that is better than a multitude. You can just imagine how many different owners sold cattle to feedlots that buy in singles and doubles. A report was done at one 5,000 to 10,000 head feedlot, where cattle were traced back to more than 2,000 owners. This is an alarming amount of commingling. It also creates a double negative. A calf would do better with its contemporaries, plus the calf now goes into another group of like animals and is commingled with them. Almost without exception, this is why owners who wean and feed their own cattle seldom have a lot of respiratory and health issues compared to the huge feedlots, which must buy cattle from all over, transport them over large distances, put them on strange feed and water and commingle them. The direct ship method also helps with traceability, and large feedlots may not need to retag because pens have the owner’s tag. As well, branding is probably minimized and it saves considerable trucking costs. The auction market still sells them but in a different way (satellite or internet) so fees are saved here as well. Direct shipping will work if we can benefit everyone on the supply chain. Calves should have better gains, plus potentially lower morbidity and mortality. It is the wave of the future and definitely worth pursuing. Roy Lewis has a veterinary practice in Westlock, Alta. and works part time as a technical services veterinarian with Merck Animal Health.

FOOD SAFETY | SAFE FOOD FOR CANADIANS ACT

Senate debates food safety bill Lacks information | Some question how the government will use its regulatory power BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Food industr y and producer groups are praising new federal food safety legislation as a significant strengthening of Canada’s food safety rules. However, there were also criticisms during hearings last week about what is not included in the legislation, which was tabled in June in the Senate, and the potential dangers of some of the bill’s vague language about new regulatory powers proposed for the government. The Safe Food for Canadians Act, Bill S-11, is now the subject of public hearings before the Senate agriculture committee. It could be sent from the committee to the Senate for final approval within weeks and then go to the House of Commons, where it may face a tougher political ride. Albert Chambers, executive director of the Canadian Supply Chain Food Safety Coalition, typified the mixed message that senators heard from the industry Sept. 27. He said his coalition welcomes the bill with its call for stronger food inspection powers, mandatory traceability across the system, licensing of food importers and the potential for multimillion-dollar fines for industry players who break the rules. “Bill S-11 provides a strong legislative framework for a new federal inspection and enforcement regime and a new and apparently comprehensive tool kit for creating regulation,” he told the committee. “However, the bill has been put forward without a clear statement as to how the framework and the tool kit are to be used.… No road map or strategy has been articulated by the government. This is of great concern to the members of the coalition.” At an earlier hearing, Canadian Association of Regulated Importers executive director Robert Devalk offered his own ambivalent message. Association members import products that the supply-managed industries do not supply in sufficient quantities for Canadian consumers. He said the bill will set a “food safety culture” for Canada that is needed. However, he also worried about how the government will use its new regulatory powers over inspection and food safety standards. “This bill could become a bludgeoning hammer to put food safety into the industry (and) we do not want that,” said Devalk. “We want food safety to be a co-operative effort between industry and government.” This week, the Senate committee begins detailed debate on the bill. Manitoba Conservative Don Plett, sponsor of the legislation in the Senate, will propose that the government be forced to review the impact of the legislation every five years. There were complaints that the legislation does not include all the elements that a national food safety bill should encompass. Bill Jeffery, national co-ordinator for the Centre for Science in the Pub-

lic Interest, argued that it does not try to regulate the “healthy food” aspect of food safety. University of Manitoba food science professor Rick Holley argued that provincial and local food plants escape the new requirements because federal legislation deals only with federal food standards and inspection. “This is an inspection bill,” he said. “This is not, in my view, an overall food safety bill.” Still, for all the quibbles, the overwhelming industry reaction was positive.

Dairy Farmers of Canada vicepresident Ron Versteeg told senators his sector fully supports the legislation, including mandatory livestock traceability. And Chambers said that while there are details to be worked out or clarified, consultations with the government and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency are going better than they have in the past. “We are in a very positive situation, the first in my experience, where we have the government fully engaged as the proposed legislation is moving forward,” he said.

FOOD SAFETY | CRITIC

FOOD AID | POLICY CHANGE

Food safety act misleading: food expert

Severing link between aid, domestic supply praised

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

The federal government is misleading Canadians by suggesting its new Safe Food for Canadians Act is anything of the sort, says University of Manitoba food science professor Rick Holley. It is an enhanced food inspection bill that does little to deal with some underlying food safety issues in Canada, he told a Senate committee studying bill S-11, the Safe Food For Canadians Act, Sept. 27. “This bill will not make all food safer,” he said. “Do not be deluded by the title.”

Holley argued that real food safety comes from prevention rather than enhanced inspection but since statistics about what causes food-borne illness over time are not collected systematically and the bill does not deal with that, regulators do not know what rules to put in place to make the food system safer. Reaction to well-publicized food contamination outbreaks does not deal with the underlying issues of regular food contamination issues, he said. Holley also argued that because the federal legislation will deal only with federally regulated food plants or imports and not provincial or munic-

ipally regulated plants, they will miss a significant part of the food Canadians consume. “They will not affect roughly 50 percent of the food that is consumed by Ca na d i a n s,” h e s a i d . “ How responsible is this action?” On the day Holley appeared on Parliament Hill, the meat industry and regulators were struggling to deal with an E. coli 0157:H7 contamination problem traced to a southern Alberta meat processing plant. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency ordered a massive product recall and the temporary closing of the Brooks, Alta. plant. Holley said it illustrates the prob-

lem of different tiers of food safety rules. “If that contamination had been found at a provincial plant, the beef would not have been recalled because Health Canada does not have a zero tolerance policy,” he said. There is no mandatory recall rule at provincially regulated plants, he said. “E. coli 0157:H7 probably has a greater risk to exist in provincially inspected meat than in federally inspected meat because the federally inspected plants have a HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) program required but it is just recommended at the provincial level,” said Holley.

TORONTO — The Conservative government’s 2008 decision to divorce its international food aid contributions from domestic food sources has made Canadian aid efforts more effective, says a University of Manitoba researcher. Ryan Cardwell, an associate professor in the department of agribusiness and agricultural economics, said Canadian aid to support millions of hungry and displaced refugees in Africa’s Sahel region this year stretches much farther because of the change in policy. “Untying our aid from domestic supply was the biggest and most effective and positive change in Canadian food aid policy in a very long time,” he said. “Clearly the amount of aid we can provide is greater, it gets there faster and at less cost.” L e d by f o r m e r i nt e r nat i o na l co-operation minister Bev Oda, the government decided four years ago to end the requirement that at least 50 percent of food aid destined for overseas recipients be bought in Canada. The domestic sourcing requirement had previously been 90 percent in an era when international food aid was considered in large part a support policy for Canadian farmers and food producers with surplus to sell. Since 2008, Canadian aid is provided as money that is used to buy food from farmers in the affected region when possible and then moved to the food-deficient area. This reduces the time it takes to get aid to the region and the cost of the food while supporting local farmers in the stricken region. “It was a very important policy shift,” said Cardwell. In an earlier presentation to a Canadian Agricultural Trade Policy and Competitiveness Research Network meeting in Toronto, Cardwell said the ability to source most food aid in the affected region from countries with food surpluses has helped soften the impact that high commodity prices have on the amount of food aid available in crises or lingering food deficiency situations. His research has shown a clear connection between higher commodity prices and reduced volumes of food aid available as aid agencies with limited budgets struggle to do more with less. The 2008 decision also freed Canada’s food aid program from the requirement to buy grain from the then-monopoly CWB, which charged premium prices and often supplied higher-protein grain than was necessary for the food aid program, he said. “It was a very inefficient way to subsidize Canadian grain farmers, but it put more money into the pool,” he said. “Aid agencies had no option but to buy from the board.” Cardwell said the United States remains the last major aid player to require that its donations be sourced from U.S. stocks.

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A marketer of niche grain products anticipates more specialty wheat production in the post single-desk environment. Mark Pickard, president of InfraReady Products (1998) Ltd., said the CWB’s export monopoly was an impediment to those hoping to develop and export niche wheat varieties. The situation improved when the CWB developed its Field to Plate program in 2006, which allowed processors involved in niche markets to buy up to 500 tonnes of a grain a year from farmers without the need for buybacks or export licences. But Pickard thinks the niche wheat industry will really take off under an open market. Purple wheat is a good example of the potential for specialty grains. It is a line of wheat that contains anthocyanins, the same type of potent antioxidant found in blueberries. InfraReady is contracting production of its AnthoGrain wheat with a small group of western Canadian growers, using its technology to process it into forms people can use by pre-cooking it and making flours, flakes and meals and then selling those products to customers in southeast Asia. It has a client in Singapore that is

creating noodles out of purple wheat, one in Taiwan using it in a breakfast cereal and a customer in Malaysia using AnthoGrain flour to make bread. “It’s interesting because those countries that don’t have a bread culture seem to be a lot more accepting of these new ingredients than we are here in North America,” Pickard told delegates attending Ag-West Bio’s annual meeting. It is difficult to convey the benefits of eating products containing purple wheat in the North American marketplace. “We’re so restricted to be able to tell that story to consumers in Canada because it doesn’t have a qualified health claim,” he said. However, manufacturers in Singapore can inform consumers that one serving of noodles made from purple wheat contains the same level of antioxidants as 84 grams of blueberries. InfraReady got its hands on purple wheat in the mid-1990s from Saskatchewan Wheat Pool. The grain company had been attempting to develop a wheat for the ethanol industry, and on the advice of the Canadian Grain Commission had selected a purple wheat so that it was visually distinguishable from milling wheat. InfraReady received two bags of the breeder seed when Sask. Pool shut

One of InfraReady’s latest products is a vodka made from purple grain, full of antioxidants. down its ethanol venture, and Pickard’s father multiplied the seed. InfraReady initially intended to focus on marketing the unique colour attribute of the grain until it discovered the high antioxidant levels it contained. Pickard said most purple grain seed likely comes from high altitudes, where ancient farmers saved the seed because it protected their grain from oxidation. Oxidation is a big problem at high elevations because of the increased exposure to ultraviolet radiation. InfraReady is working with purple corn from Peru. Research has shown

the anthocyanin extracts from that corn reduce kidney deterioration in diabetics. “This is powerful medicine, and it’s natural medicine,” he said. However, the main focus remains on purple wheat, which accounts for 10 percent of InfraReady’s business. University of Saskatchewan Crop Development Centre breeder Pierre Hucl has developed a new line of purple wheat with double the antioxidants of existing lines. It is in the breeder seed increase phase of development. “Having a new and improved version going forward for us is very powerful,” Pickard said. “We have broken a little bit of trail, but to follow that up with something better — perfect.” The company is also working with POS Bio-Sciences to create a purple wheat vodka. One ounce of the vodka contains the same level of antioxidants as 250 grams of blueberries. “So we’re kind of working on this guilt-free drinking concept,” said Pickard. However, the company isn’t allowed to associate anything healthy with the consumption of alcohol. It is also having trouble marketing the product because of its inability to get the proper permit from the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority. “We’re working on it,” said Pickard.

AgriStability cuts should not go unnoticed

ALLYN TASTAD

lways read the fine print. I almost missed something buried in it. I had heard that the federal and provincial governments were going to remove the middle stabilization tier (85 to 70 percent) in the coming Growing Forward 2. What I didn’t know is that they had agreed to limit 2013-18 AgriStability reference margins to the lesser of a farm’s historical reference margin or its allowable expenses. This took me by surprise because it will reduce per acre coverage guarantees from what has been available. Your farm’s AgriStability reference margin is your average program margin for three of the past five years. The lowest and highest margins are dropped from the calculation. You can increase your chances for an AgriStability payment in a current or future “below average” year by building up reference margins with a better than average year. AgriStability coverage levels have not been transparent, but farmers remain enrolled in record numbers. They have paid their accountants to file their applications and review the processed results. They paid their annual enrolment fees, answered numerous questions from program personnel,and mailed in required information. Our client Dan (not his real name), was comforted knowing that his reference margin was on the rise. In 2009, his farm’s reference margin was reported to be $216,999, but in 2012 it had jumped to $433,870. Last week, Dan called to tell me he is harvesting a below average crop. He has avoided a 2012 insurance claim on his identity preserved canola and field peas, but his flax, regular canola and barley were well below his farm’s five-year average. His fusarium-tainted wheat will also generate an insurance claim. His 2012 crop insurance premium of $20,906 will be offset by $37,445 in crop insurance proceeds, leaving him with $16,539 in his pocket. Dan’s challenge to me was, how much can he expect from Agri-Stability given his record setting reference margin? To get our answer, we first estimated Dan’s 2012 production revenue. His provincial crop insurance records were a good resource, and after some detailed figuring we arrived at $395,694 of income. We then tallied allowable expenses for 2012, which totalled $340,370. Subtracting expenses from income, generated Dan’s 2012 program margin of $55,324, or $24.58 per acre. AgriStability under the old funding requirements of Growing Forward will backstop Dan to $88.28 per acre at the 70 percent threshold plus an additional $20.22 at the 85 percent threshold, bringing his total funding to $108.50 per acre. Put another way, Dan should expect $198,706 from his 70 percent disaster

tier and $45,537 from the 85 percent stabilization tier for a total of $244,243. This is Dan’s reward for his recordsetting reference margin and is summarized in the accompanying table. But what would Dan have received had we already been under Growing Forward 2 funding restraints? Well, in short, much less. For 2013-18, the governments have removed the 85 percent tier, which removes $45,537 or $20.22 per acre of former Growing Forward funding. As well, in the fine print, they have lowered Dan’s reference margin to his allowable expenses and cut back funding in the disaster tier by 10 per-

cent. This removes an additional $70,656, or $31.39 per acre. In total, Dan would lose $116,193 ($45,337 plus $70,656) if his 2012 production year was reported in 2013. This is $51.61 per acre. Ouch. Dan has been farming for a long time and knows how things roll. That being said, he is glad that he is under the Growing Forward rules and not Growing Forward 2. From a government program perspective, he’s very much a cynic. He always knew his reference margin might be “too good to be true.” Allyn Tastad, certified general accountant, is a partner with Hounjet Tastad Harpham in Saskatoon. Contact: 306-653-5100.
