Puratone bid could ease supply issues at Maple Leaf plant Offer includes livestock, facilities and interests in other joint ventures BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

A Maple Leaf Foods offer to buy assets of hog producer Puratone Corp. for $42 million is an attempt to ward off potential supply issues at its Brandon slaughter plant. Maple Leaf’s offer includes Puratone’s livestock, facilities and interests in some joint ventures. “This acquisition will ensure a consistent supply of hogs to our processing facility in Brandon, which is an integral supplier to our value added prepared meats and pork business,” said Maple Leaf president Michael McCain. The move came after widespread speculation that the Toronto-based company would bid after its competitor Olymel offered $65.25 million for Big Sky Farms. SEE PURATONE BID, PAGE 2

Farmers will pay more in fees if CGC fare changes proceed Fee hike | Canadian Grain Commission looks to make up funds as Ottawa reduces support BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Proposed fee changes at the Canadian Grain Commission will cost the grain industry about an additional $20 million per year by 2018, a cost that will ultimately be borne by farmers, according to industry observers. The grain commission released a new fee schedule Nov. 1, outlining services and proposed fees. Grain growers, farm groups and others will have until Nov. 30 to weigh in on the proposed fee changes, which would be introduced gradually over a five-year

period beginning next August. The new fees, if implemented, will be part of a leaner grain commission that will collect more money from the industry and less from government. The proposed increases are expected to boost the commission’s annual user fee revenues by $11 million in 2013-14, another $6 million in 201415 and an additional $1 million a year between 2015 and 2018. If the fee increases proceed, the money collected through user fees would increase to $48 million in the 2013-14 fiscal year, up from an estimated $37.6 million a year now.

CGC PROPOSED FARE SCHEDULE CHANGES Notable changes include: • Outward inspections of ships would increase to $1.60 per tonne in 201314 from 25 to 51 cents per tonne

• Submitted grain sample grading would increase to roughly $47 per unofficial sample, up from about $15 to $25 per sample

• Outward inspections of rail cars, trucks and containers would increase to $143.99 per inspection in 2013-14 from $29

• Sampling services would increase to roughly $70 per sample from $31

• Producer car applications would increase to $26.50 per car from $20 When fully implemented by late 2018, user fee revenues would account for more than $57 million per year in an annual grain commission budget of about $62.65 million. Based on those figures, user fees

• Analytical testing services would increase to a range of $35 to $1,609 per analysis from a range of $5 to $395 per analysis. would cover roughly 91 percent of the CGC’s total spending in 2017-18, up from less than 50 percent in the current fiscal year. SEE FARMERS WILL PAY MORE, PAGE 2

GRAIN HANDLING | FROM PAGE ONE

Farmers will pay more The government would continue to contribute nearly $5.5 million per year to CGC operations. Remi Gosselin, spokesperson for the CGC, said steps aimed at increasing user fees and reducing spending will result in a leaner grain commission that offers fewer services and requires less government money to balance its budget. Beginning next year, the number of fee-for-use services offered by the commission will be reduced to 50 from 125. CGC spending will also be significantly reduced. Expenditures of about $80 million per year will fall to about $70 million in 2013-14 and less than $60 million in 2014-15, according to the commission’s consultation notice, which is posted at www.grainscanada.gc.ca/ consultations/2012/fees-frais/ ufcpn-eng.htm. Doug Chorney, president of Keystone Agricultural Producers in Manitoba, said his organization supports efforts to modernize the grain commission and eliminate unnecessary services and costs. But he expressed concern about the amount of grain commission revenue derived through user fees. Based on average annual grain volumes and CGC inspections performed on outward grain shipments during

the past 15 years, the new user fees would generate $54.3 million in 201415, up from $37.6 million currently. “You have to keep in mind ... that any cost that goes to the grain companies or the exporters will be borne by producers ultimately,” said Chorney. “I think some of the things that they’ve done to modernize the (grain commission) are ... a good thing.” “But if the difference between $54.3 million ... and $37.6 million is all coming out of farmers’ pockets, then I’m concerned about that. That’s a pretty big number. “I think producers should be paying attention to this closely and concerned about offloading costs to producers, especially for services that have a public benefit.” Meanwhile, grain handling companies andthe Western Grain Elevators Association expressed disappointment that Ottawa’s efforts to revamp the CGC did not go further. Initially, the CGC had estimated that new user fees would generate annual revenue of more than $87 million per year. Under the proposed fees, annual user fee revenue based on typical grain volumes would generate $54.3 million, said Gosselin. FOR MORE ON GRAIN COMMISSION CHANGES, SEE PAGE 20

Big Sky, based in Humboldt, Sask., and Puratone, based in Niverville, Man., both ran into trouble with creditors after soaring feed costs and the high Canadian dollar led to significant losses. Both offers to purchase could close within a month. Maple Leaf has been downsizing its hog operations for years to reduce earnings volatility, said Christine Healy, a food business analyst with Scotia Capital Inc. Expanding those operations now is viewed as negative, she said, but also as a strategic necessity. “Maple Leaf could not risk having a hog supply shortage, given pork represents the majority of its revenues in the protein segment,” she wrote in a research note. “We are satisfied that the purchase price is small enough that it will not impair (Maple Leaf Foods’) balance sheet nor impede its ability to complete its restructuring initiatives.” Puratone’s assets include 50 barns, three feed mills and production of 500,000 hogs a year.

HOG INDUSTRY | PURATONE PURCHASED

Hog farmers unlikely to recoup losses Grain deliveries to Puratone | Dozens of unsecured farmer-creditors may never get money owed BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

When Puratone entered creditor protection in the middle of September, the hog production company owed millions of dollars to companies and people throughout Manitoba, including $46,000 to Stewart Floyd of Arborg. Floyd, a grain far mer, hasn’t received payment for oat sales and he doesn’t expect to see a dime, even though Maple Leaf Foods bought Puratone last week for $42 million. “I don’t expect that Maple Leaf should or would pay that debt,” said Floyd, who explained he is also a shareholder in Puratone. “I’m not under the expectation that Maple Leaf would cover it. The banks are owed more money that they’re going to get from the sale, so I don’t expect to get paid anything. I sure would like to, but I don’t know who

will pay it.” Puratone, which produced 500,000 hogs annually and operated three feed mills in Manitoba, including one in Arborg, owes $86 million to three secured creditors. The Bank of Montreal is owed $40.9 million, Farm Credit Canada $40.3 million and Manitoba Agricultural Services Corp. $5 million. However, there are dozens of unsecured creditors in Manitoba who may never receive full or partial payment, including Stan Yaskiw, a grain producer from Birtle. Yaskiw may lose an unspecified amount after selling barley and wheat to the company this fall. Yaskiw contacted two lawyers about the debt but he received conflicting legal advice. “I got two separate accounts from two different lawyers. Almost a 180 degree difference. (But) from my experience with debts… my expecta-

tions are pretty low.” Like many producers who sold grain to Puratone, Ken Foster of Arborg is frustrated the company accepted grain deliveries from farmers just days before filing for creditor protection. “We delivered the last load (of wheat) on a Monday of the week they asked for protection,” said Foster, who is out $33,000. “A lot of producers were delivering (grain) the same week they went bankrupt…. I suspect that Puratone, when they were receiving that wheat (knew) there was a good chance that those farmers weren’t getting paid.” Foster hopes that Maple Leaf covers producer losses, partly because the company has to continue to conduct business with Manitoba farmers in the future. “If they’re operating these hog (barns) they’re going to need feed in the future,” said Foster, one of more

than a dozen farmers around Arborg on the Puratone creditor list. Floyd, though, said the affected grain producers should be frustrated with the financial institutions, not Maple Leaf. “I’m probably more upset with the banks than anybody,” he said, adding the banks have been running Puratone for quite a while. “Incurring debt, that they knew they weren’t going to be paying, if anything, it’s on the banks…. They don’t have to share the money that they got from Maple Leaf. But, essentially, they’re the ones that were calling the shots and they’re the ones that are leaving us hanging.” While he may lose a substantial amount of money, Yaskiw said Maple Leaf’s decision to buy Puratone is positive news. “If that business was just to go to mothballs, it would be devastating for the economy.”

A week after resuming cattle slaughter at the XL plant at the centre of an E.coli scare, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency has once again raised concerns at the plant. “As would be expected in a facility that has not been in regular operation for some time, there have been some observations made by CFIA that resulted in the CFIA issuing new Corrective Action Requests to XL Foods Inc. since the plant reopened,” said a Nov. 4 CFIA news release. Concerns included: condensation on pipes in the tripe room, water in a sanitizer was not maintained at a high temperature, meat cutting areas were not adequately cleaned and no sanitizing chemical solution was put in mats used for cleaning employees’ boots, said the release. The news release said overall safety concerns at the plant are being “effectively managed.” JBS USA took over management of the XL plant in Brooks after 17 people became sick from E.coli contaminated meat from the plant. Because of the latest concerns, CFIA has ordered potentially contaminated product be rendered and sanitizers be immediately brought into compliance. CFIA has requested corrective action plans from the company on how they will ensure compliance in the near and long term. On Nov. 2, the U.S. Food Safety and Inspection Service visited the plant to see if meat from the plant can once again be exported to the U.S. There has been no word on the results.

Consumer group sees ups, downs in food bill

Western Producer names publisher

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

A leading Canadian consumer advocate has offered qualified support for proposed new food safety legislation. However, he has also called for radical improvements in “our food health protection system.” Mel Fruitman, vice-president of the Consumers Association of Canada, used a Nov. 1 appearance before the House of Commons agriculture committee to offer faint praise for the government’s proposed safe food legislation S-11 and to call for an end to the conflicting dual roles of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency between regulator and promoter. “Even though we support this bill, we hope that you are not lulled into believing that it will alleviate the defi-

ciencies in our food health protection system,” he told MPs. “Note that our supportive comments use the conditional tense.” Fruitman said government should embrace irradiation as a safer food tool and consider buying recently developed vaccines designed to reduce E. coli levels in cattle feces and organizing a mass inoculation of the Canadian cattle herd. However, his most dramatic accusation was that the recent E. coli incident at the XL Foods plant in Brooks, Alta., was caused in part because the agency has a split personality of food safety and industry promotion. He said a major cause of the XL Foods “fiasco” was the agency’s uncertainty about its role. “Finally and maybe most importantly, we feel that many of the shortcomings were because there is a cultural identity problem within CFIA,”

MEL FRUITMAN CONSUMERS ASSOCIATION OF CANADA

he said. “Are they guardians or promoters?” He said the consumers association’s solution is to move the CFIA out of Agriculture Canada’s jurisdiction and made the responsibility of another item on its wish list — a federal consumer affairs department. Fruitman said the CFIA failed on both sides of its current mandate during the XL issue: contaminated meat made it to store shelves and the U.S. border was temporarily closed to product from the plant and Canada’s trade reputation damaged.

“It is our belief that the dual responsibilities that led to cultural schizophrenia inhibit CFIA’s capability to professionally do its prime job, the protection of the Canadian consumer from harmful food products,” he said. “Unfortunately, concerns about how certain domestic actions and publicity may be viewed by our trading partners have an effect on the timing, details and efficacy of response.” Rural Ontario Conservative MP Ben Lobb challenged Fruitman’s view of the CFIA not being able to fulfill both sides of its mandate. Inspectors in packing plants concentrate on that job with no thought of trade, he said, while officials in other parts of the agency are involved in trade missions to assure importers about the strength of the Canadian meat safety system.

Horsepower revs up at Farmfair competition Pulling their weight and more | Washington horse enthusiast follows a long line of horse pullers into the arena BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

EDMONTON — Richard Cameron brought his pair of shires to the heavy horse competition in Edmonton from Washington to see how they would fare against a new group of horses. “I always wanted to play with the big kids. I wanted to compete against people who I don’t usually pull against,” said Cameron before the heavy horse pulling competition at the Farmfair International show. Cameron grew up as part of a horse-

pulling family with his grandpa, cousins, aunts and uncles all trying to see whose horse can pull the most weight. “It gets in your blood. It’s an adrenaline rush to try and get two horses to work better. It makes you feel good,” said Cameron, who travelled to about 10 pulls this summer before coming to the competition at Farmfair, which runs Nov. 4-11. The main livestock shows were scheduled for later in the week, too late for this issue’s deadlines. Cameron’s cousin, Cameron Witman and uncle, Randy Witman, also

came up from Washington with their teams. For Cameron Witman, competition pulling is like gambling. “Competition gives you an adrenaline rush,” he said. He competed in 25 pulling competitions this summer across the United States and Canada. Richard Cameron tries to drive his horses almost every day to keep them in shape. While few people use Shires for competition, Cameron grew up with stories from his grandpa about his amazing Shire team. When it came time to buy his own team, he

bought Shires. He brought Wally and Dixie a stud and mare to Farmfair. “They’ve got a lot of go to them.” Cameron didn’t do as well as hoped. During an early pull, one of the horses stepped over the sidelines disqualifying the team. For Randy Witman, it marks his 52nd year competing in horse pulls. He started at five years old helping his father and “ain’t missed a summer since.” “It’s just our family thing. When others go camping, we go horse pulling,” he said. His team entered in the heavy-

weight division pulled 9,500 pounds 88 inches. His son, Cameron, brought his “most seasoned” horses to the competition. His team of middleweight horses finished second. They pulled 10,000 pounds 45 inches. Randy Dodge of Albany, Oregon, won first place in both the middlewight and heavyweight divisions. Ron Sebastian, of Lumsden, Sask., came first in the lightweight division. FOR MORE FROM FARMFAIR, SEE PAGES 92, 93

AGRONOMY | HERBICIDES

Dicamba finds new role in resistant kochia battle Old herbicide keeps going and going | Glyphosate-tolerant kochia first found on Prairies last year BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

An old herbicide is playing a major role in the war on glyphosate and ALS-inhibitor tolerant kochia. “Dicamba has been one of our main tools to control it. We’re learning more about it now,” says Curtis Thompson, an extension weed specialist and researcher with Kansas State University. “I guess we have a couple of years head start on you folks up there.” American growers have been dealing with glyphosate tolerant kochia since 2009. The problem was first found in Western Canada last year. Thompson said controlling kochia with dicamba in cereals is working well, provided the applications take place early in the season and accompanies the glyphosate burnoff. “Mixing in the tank (with glyphosate) is giving us some good foliar control, and we’re finding out

that we are getting some excellent pre-emergent activity from those early applications, but let it get more than two inches high and you lose that 90 percent-plus control,” said Thompson about kochia control in corn and wheat. “If it gets past you, well, it just plain gets expensive.” He said producers in his region are looking forward to having more herbicide resistant genetics in their crops because there aren’t many lower-cost herbicide solutions for the pest in broadleaf crops. As a result, farmers are welcoming the news that dicamba tolerant soybeans are expected to be available in North America in time for the 2014 growing season. Canadian approvals were granted this week for the dicamba portion of the new crop genetics package, which will be released by Monsanto. Dicamba resistance will be stacked with the latest Roundup Ready 2 genetics to form the Xtend branded

If it gets past you, well, it just plain gets expensive. CURTIS THOMPSON WEED SPECIALIST

seed, provided regulators approve of the combination. BASF’s dicamba has been around since the 1960s and remains a popular broadleaf weed tool for cereal crops, on its own as Banvel or as a generic product from Gharda. It’s most commonly found as a component of tank mixes and pre-mix products that offer multiple modes of action against a wide selection of weeds. For Monsanto’s Genuity RoundUp Ready 2 Yield Xtend soybeans, producers will likely be accessing a new, lower volatility dicamba that BASF

and Monsanto have been testing. It will be tank mixed with glyphosate for application in crop, or applied as part of the pre-seeding burn off, as Thompson suggests. Both strategies have been effective in testing at Ontario’s University of Guelph for weeds such as glyphosate tolerant ragweed and fleabane. The new formulation of the broadleaf herbicide should improve its effectiveness while reducing application rates, Paul Rea, BASF’s vice-president of crop protection in the United States, said earlier this year. Bob Wolf, a former Kansas State agricultural application systems professor, said the dicamba component will come with application provisos, including strict nozzle choices for sprayers. He said the crops and herbicides are being engineered to work together under a set of best practices. “There have always been recommendations about nozzles, pres-

sures, boom heights,” he said. “To take advantage of the new reformulations of older products and the latest (pesticide) products, you need to follow them.” Thompson said application timing is going to be critical when trying to control kochia. “When we realized kochia wasn’t dying like it used to, we had to start thinking outside of the box. Most of our success has come with early application timing,” he said. “You might even need two burnoff applications, if there is too much time between the early application and planting. It’s still going to be cheaper.” Thompson said U.S. producers have found adequate post-emergent control in wheat, barley and triticale with a mix of pyrasulfotole and bromoxynil. “But again, only if you are early,” he said. Bayer sells this mixture as Husky in the U.S. and Infinity in Canada.

WINTER WHEAT | OUTLOOK

Global winter wheat outlook threatened Poor prospects so far | World winter wheat crops struggling, but analysts say it’s too early to worry about final yields yet BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Winter wheat crops are off to a bad start around the world, but there is plenty of time for them to recover, say analysts. Crop establishment has been poor in parts of North America, Europe and Russia, where it is once again too dry to plant a crop in places. Seeding conditions are terrible in the Volga region, which is a prime wheat producing and exporting area of Russia. “We’ve been talking about this for three crazy years, but they’re still in it,” said Drew Lerner, president of World Weather Inc. “The lower Volga basin probably has not planted much of anything because it has been that dry.” Conditions are also less than ideal in the southern region, which is south and west of the Volga region. There was enough moisture to plant the crop in the south and it has a root system, but the wheat is not as well established as it should be. Planting is way behind schedule in the United Kingdom, where cold and saturated soils have kept farmers out of their fields. “This is turning out to be the worst autumn for drilling and crop establishment in memory,” the U.K.’s CropMonitor said in a recent crop report. Lerner said persistent dry conditions from northern Kansas and northeastern Colorado to Montana, the Dakotas and southern Saskatchewan has hurt winter wheat prospects in North America. “We have a lot of real estate there that has been dry for a long time and the crops are not very well established,” he said. “The production potential from those areas is probably going to be down unless we have an ideal spring season where we can really take advantage of it and the crops can swing around. We’ve seen that happen before so we shouldn’t be writing it off.” The hard red winter wheat growing region of the southern U.S. Plains has

Farmers in southern Russia hope they are not headed for another crop disaster like this wheat field, photographed last summer. Russian wheat production fell 34 percent from the year before. Winter wheat seeding this fall is delayed in parts of Russia because of dry weather, while lingering drought in the northern U.S. winter wheat belt is raising worries that the crop won’t properly establish before going into winter dormancy. | REUTERS PHOTO been drying out under temperatures in the high 20s C and low 30s C. However, that crop is well established with a good root system in place. “I’m not terribly concerned about it,” said Lerner. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, 39 percent of the winter wheat crop was rated good to excellent as of Nov. 5, compared to 49 percent last year. It is the worst rating since records began in 1985. Crops in Nebraska and South Dakota are in particularly bad condition. Darin Newsom, senior analyst with DTN, said there is no correlation between initial crop condition ratings and final wheat yields next sum-

mer, so it is too early to become anxious about the U.S. winter wheat crop. It’s not just the wheat going in the ground that’s in trouble. Two major wheat exporters in the southern hemisphere are having disappointing harvests. A Reuters survey of 10 analysts produced an estimate of a 21.4 million tonne Australian wheat crop, which would be 27 percent below last year’s record of 29.5 million tonnes. There are also mounting concerns that late rain could reduce the quality of Australia’s wheat crop. The Rosario grains exchange, one of two grain exchanges in Argentina, is forecasting a 10 million tonne

wheat crop in that country, which would be 35 percent smaller than last year’s crop and 13 percent below the latest USDA estimate. Lerner said October was the third month of abundant rain in Argentina. “We now have wet weather disease that is impacting a lot of the crop,” he said. Erica Olson, a marketing specialist with the North Dakota Wheat Commission, said markets are anxious about wheat seeding and harvests. “It does cause concern about production numbers for next year,” she said. “We already know the southern hemisphere crops aren’t going to be

as good as what some had probably hoped.” Markets have already factored in poorer-than-expected crops from Australia and Argentina and are aware of the poor start to North America’s winter wheat crops. However, not much has been said about Russia’s continuing struggles. Another poor wheat crop in that region of the world could be a big market mover because Russia is a significant wheat exporter. Olson said the shaky start in so many important growing regions has wheat markets on pins and needles. “Since there is that level of uncertainty, there is always potential for more market movement,” she said.

Cattle producers brace for higher feed costs Drought, recalls take toll | Feeder cattle prices fall amid rising corn, barley prices; herd size shrinks to adjust to market BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

S T R AT H M O R E , A l t a . — T h e drought in the U.S. corn belt and a month long closure of the XL Foods plant in Brooks, Alta., have had wide ranging affects on North American beef markets. As the corn crop shriveled, the price per bushel increased by $3 from June to July to hit $8, said market analyst Anne Dunford. “In this period of time, if you were feeding yearlings it was going to add $150-$200 to your cost of gain to feed a yearling and if you were feeding a calf it could add $400 to that calf,” she said at an Alberta Beef Producers meeting in Strathmore Nov. 1. Canadian feeders were caught in the maelstrom because barley prices follow U.S. corn. Then in September, calf prices dropped by 15 cents per hundredweight when XL lost its licence to operate. Auction market volumes fell 30 percent because of uncertainty as producers held cattle rather than risk shipping to nervous buyers. Feeder calf prices normally drop in the fall because of the high volume of cattle moving to market, but a ripple effect was felt across the country as the large packing plant went out of commission. Fats were $112-$114 per cwt. at the

However, they are not going to increase enough for feedlots to break even. Cattle sold on the cash market in the feedlot sector this fall probably lost as much as $200 per head if operators did not manage their risk.

by the time it reaches market weight to break even. “For the feedlots, this is a predicament I don’t see changing for some time,” Dunford said. Tight feeder cattle supply exacerbates the problem. The Canadian cow herd has shrunk by 1.5 million head since 2005. Some producers have been retaining heif-

ers, but in many cases that is to replace aging cows that could be as old as 15 or 16 years. The result is fewer calves being born. Canfax’s cattle-on feed report for Oct. 1 reported the smallest inventory since it started tracking placements in Alberta and Saskatchewan. The same situation prevails in the United States. A steady decline since 2000 means there are 4.5 million fewer calves to place in feedlots. “It’ll take a while to change this around,” Dunford said. Canada finished 3.5 million cattle a year from the late 1990s to 2007, but this year only 2.75 million head will be fattened. Canada is facing its smallest level of beef production since 1995, even with record sized carcass weights. Tight feeder supply strengthens calf prices and retail beef prices but leaves feedlots and packers with negative margins. It could also cause Canada to import more beef, especially product for grinding and further processing. Less beef is also available for export. Dunford estimates exports could be eight percent lower, and perhaps 10 percent lower with XL closed to export. “With tight supplies we are going to have trouble meeting some of the requirements that we need on an export basis,” she said.

Consequently, Canada could become a net importer of beef again, a position it hasn’t been in since the mid-1980s. As small cattle supply pushes beef prices higher, that pushs up retail prices for all meats. Beef and chicken prices are up six percent at the counter this year and pork is up by seven percent, but it is hard to say how long consumers will continue to pay more. Wholesale Choice cutouts hit $200 per hundredweight three times this year. But each time, that stifled demand and prices dropped immediately. Considering that the overall economy remains weak, beef prices are unlikely to peak again until spring. For fat cattle prices to rally, cut-out value will have to hit $210. “Supply says we should (see higher beef prices), but can the consumer foot the bill?” she said. The basis between Canadian and U.S. prices has been weak this year. The Alberta cash price was $10 to $15 l e s s t h a n t h e Ne b ra s k a p r i c e, although Dunford expects this will improve toward the end of the year. All that volatility means producers, especially margin operators such as feedlots, must find some protection. “Profits are going to depend on the ability to manage risk and be disciplined,” she said.

GRAIN | INTERNATIONAL MARKETING

Canada’s transition to open market won’t follow Australia’s example: traders BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Canada isn’t Australia. That’s the message senior Canadian grain trade players have for foreign customers who are worried about the end of the CWB’s monopoly. “We don’t see huge issues quality wise or consistency wise in Canada going forward,” said Keith Bruch, vice-president of operations with Paterson GlobalFoods. “I think the transition has been very smooth. Business is transacting. Buyers are buying. Farmers are selling. Product’s getting executed and delivered.” Earl Geddes, executive director of the Canadian International Grains Institute, said many foreign grain customers saw Australia’s grain quality and consistency slump once its export monopoly was broken, and they fear the same will happen here. “We’re not Australia. That’s what we tell them,” he said. “When the Australian Wheat Board fell apart, or was dismantled, all of the other pieces (of the quality system) disappeared.… That’s not true of Canada.” Geddes said CIGI heard concerns about the future of Canada’s grain quality and has organized special courses, such as a recent one for the Mexican grain trade, to explain to customers how the Canadian grain system works. As well, senior Japanese milling officials recently attended a regular course in Winnipeg to discuss the

situation and express their concerns. The in-person contact seems to have calmed anxious buyers. “The Canadian Grain Commission’s still in place. CIGI’s still in place. Variety registration’s still in place. The grading system is still in place. The only thing that’s really different is how they buy grain and how farmers sell grain,” said Geddes. “Canada’s still able to deliver them the kind of quality of grain that they want to buy from the farmers here in Western Canada.” Mexican grain trade players interviewed during the CIGI course seemed reassured and confident about Canada’s grain quality system. However, they all admitted they had been worried before arriving in Winnipeg. They met with Canadian grain company officials, executives from Canadian Pacific Railway and officials from grain industry regulators and institutions. “This moment is very important for farmers here and also for customers

abroad,” said Valdemar de la Garza Arredondo. “It’s an opportunity.” Bruch said the prairie grain trade had been concerned about how the transition to an open market would affect grain quality, but “so far, so good.” He thinks any concerns will quickly evaporate once the open market settles out. Australia’s problems were mainly the result of its grain infrastructure, said Bruch. “The core difference is that the assets in Australia, although they are owned by individual companies, any company has access to buy and sell grain through those assets, and so we see a huge amount of delivery at har-

vest time into those assets, which creates commingled delivery, and we see a large number of people pulling out of that inventory to end users. There isn’t a direct relationship between who’s selling the grain and who is actually touching it and controlling it.” Bruch said the wheat board was an lynchpin in the Australian system to enforce quality and consistency, and it wasn’t immediately replaced. The Canadian industry didn’t rely on the CWB for quality. “In Canada, you have in essence private ownership of assets and the only parties trading through those assets are the owners,” said Bruch. “You have very tight quality control trading through there because you

CANARYSEED | ENDING STOCKS

PULSES | PRODUCTION

Canaryseed stocks questioned Lentil acres expected to drop 20 percent

Ag Canada numbers disputed | Canpulse Foods says ending stocks higher

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

David Nobbs choked on his Halloween chocolate bar when discussing Agriculture Canada’s hard-to-swallow 2011-12 canaryseed carryout figure. “That number is completely, completely incorrect,” said the general manager of Canpulse Foods after dislodging the treat. Agriculture Canada estimates there were a paltry 17,000 tonnes of ending stocks of the birdseed as of July 31. Nobbs believes exporters shipped 15,000 tonnes of old crop canaryseed in August and September, which would have nearly depleted those stocks. However, that doesn’t account for what companies have in their inventories and what growers are storing in their bins. Some farmers have canaryseed dating back 10 years or more. “I don’t doubt we’re getting down on our stocks, but I would bet at July 31 it’s 30,000-plus, maybe 40,000 tonnes,” he said. Nobbs estimates 25,000 to 30,000 tonnes of the birdseed are sitting on farms. “We just didn’t clean the canaryseed crop down to zero with a 23 cent price in July,” he said. “You’ve got growers that no matter what price the market goes to, they’re sitting on it until it hits 40 cents come hell or high water.” Agriculture Canada’s carryout estimate drops even further for the 201213 crop, down to a meager 5,000 tonnes, which is a four percent stocks-to-use ratio. “If you look at the S & Ds (supply and demand), really we should be at 40 cents right now, there’s no ifs, ands or buts,” said Nobbs. However, he doesn’t have much hope for prices rising much higher than the current 27 cents per pound level because of slumping demand and increased competition. “I just don’t see prices over 30 cents regardless of supply,” said Nobbs. Stat Publishing analyst Brian Clancey isn’t so sure about that.

Canaryseed markets are suffering from the strong dollar and competition from Hungary and Argentina, says Canpulse Foods. | FILE PHOTO “I don’t think canaryseed prices are going to go down. It’s completely up to farmers what happens with the price of canaryseed,” he said. Clancey said prices could climb higher than 30 cents if growers cut back on acres and hang onto what’s in their bins. However, he too is skeptical about Agriculture Canada’s 2012-13 carryout estimate of 5,000 tonnes. Clancey is forecasting 15,000 tonnes of carryover next summer, which is a 12 percent stocks-to-use ratio. That’s because he isn’t as optimistic about 2012-13 exports, forecasting 108,100 tonnes of shipments versus the government estimate of 125,000 tonnes. “There is competing production coming on in other parts of the world, so that’s eroding our market. The higher prices are not necessarily helpful (either),” he said. Sales to Mexico are way down because of the country’s ongoing phytosanitary constraints surrounding unwanted weeds. Exports through the first 11 months of 2011-12 were 19,918

tonnes, down 65 percent from the same period the previous year. “We’re missing that strong ongoing demand from Mexico, which used to be there. And that’s a big problem for canaryseed,” said Clancey. Nobbs said the faltering demand extends beyond Europe and Mexico. It is also falling in Brazil and the United States, and he doesn’t know why. “I’m not sure what is being fed to these birds but it doesn’t seem to be canary. I don’t know if anybody has a real true handle on why our demand is dwindling.” He believes part of the answer is the stronger Canadian dollar. As well, competition is increasing from Hungary into the European Union and from Argentina into Brazil. Nobbs said the Mexican situation hasn’t changed. His plant is processing half of what it normally does because meeting Mexico’s stringent demands is more time consuming. He hopes Mexico’s new government will be amenable to easing the phytosanitary restrictions, but he isn’t holding his breath.

Brian Clancey is first out of the gate with a 2013 pulse acreage estimate, forecasting a dramatic decline in lentils and a modest increase in peas. The Stat Publishing analyst sees 1.9 million acres of lentils, which would be 20 percent smaller than the 2012 crop and well below the high of 3.48 million acres achieved in 2010. He thinks the 20 percent decline might be a conservative estimate. “The lentil acreage will probably be lower than that. That’s the way it feels,” said Clancey. It would be the smallest lentil crop since 2008 when growers planted 1.75 million acres. “We hopelessly overproduced lentils in 2010, 2011 and probably again in 2012. So acreage has to come down,” he said. The overproduction problem was exacerbated by a poor quality crop in 2010.Prices would have been around 12 cents a pound if it had all been No. 2 or better. However, top quality reds were fetching twice that amount during the winter. “Because of the disaster that we had that year, the top-end lentils, the No. 2s and No. 1s, were worth a fortune. The bottom-end stuff was heavily discounted,” said Clancey. “That misinformed producers as to the status of the whole lentil situation.” Supply exceeds demand Growers planted 910,000 fewer lentil acres in 2011, but that wasn’t a deep enough cut. Total supply increased because of high carryout of low quality product from 2010. Analysts were expecting plantings to drop below two million acres this year, but again the price signal at seeding was too high and farmers seeded 2.4 million acres. “It was way higher than anyone expected and that has resulted in a further deterioration or erosion in prices,” said Clancey. However, he believes competition from wheat will finally knock lentils below the two million acre mark next year. Gross returns from lentils are

expected to be two percent below wheat after returning an average of 26 percent more than wheat over the past decade. Lentils are also expected to face stiffer competition from wheat in the open market because farmers now view wheat as a cash crop like pulses. Red lentil acreage isn’t expected to fall as much as greens because reds have had the more aggressive export program early this crop year. More peas expected Peas are generating a seven percent better gross return per acre than wheat this season, but the crop is still underperforming canola. When Clancey put it all in the grinder he came out with a forecast for 3.44 million acres of peas in 2013, which is a six percent increase over last year. “The other thing that peas have going for them is movement has been really good,” he said. Clancey thinks the proportion of land sown to green peas relative to yellow peas will rise because green peas are selling at a “monster premium” to yellows. He said peas are more resilient than lentils because they can be sold into a wide variety of markets, including livestock feed markets. “Every time the price comes down because of oversupply, we discover a new way to use peas. When we come out of that our market is bigger,” he said. “Peas could be corn. They’re just that versatile. The only thing is peas don’t have oil.” Clancey issued his acreage forecasts Oct. 28. He said circumstances may well change by February and March when farmers are making their final seeding decisions, depending on what happens with pea and lentil markets.

Canola crushers set record pace despite lower oil content MARKET WATCH

he oil content in this year’s canola crop appears to be down from last year and while that might cut into crusher profits, it has not slowed the pace of crush. The oil content in samples of No. 1

canola sent to the Canadian Grain Commission to Oct. 29 had a mean of 43.5 percent, down from last year’s mean of 45.2 percent. Last year’s mean was well above the 10-year mean of 43.8 percent. Lower oil content means crushers must process more than last year to get the same amount of oil. Reuters estimates that crusher profit margins drop by $8 per tonne for every one percentage point drop. The lowest reading is in Manitoba, where the mean oil content is 41.8 percent, down from 44.2 percent last year. Saskatchewan is 44.2 percent,

down from 45.4 percent last year and Alberta, including British Columbia, is 44.1 percent, down from 45.6 percent. However, crushers are operating at a good pace. Members of the Canadian Oilseed Processors Association had crushed 1.77 million tonnes of seed to the end of October, up 15 percent over last year at the same time. The crush pace will likely fall later in the year because the available supply is smaller and export demand presents strong competition. Agriculture Canada forecasts that crush in 2012-13 will fall seven percent from last year.

Mexicans eager to boost trade

Drought slashes Kazakhstan yields, exports

CIGI seminars, tours | Grain buyers make connections with Canadian grain companies BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Mexican grain industry players came to Canada unsure if their distant North American Free Trade Agreement partner could still supply top quality grain. They left hoping to do even more business. “Absolutely,” said Jana Jacqueline Padilla Jones about whether she thinks Canadian-Mexican crop trade can substantially increase. Her railway company, Ferromex, already brings in Canadian grain, but “not as much as we would like.” Cash market grain merchant Valdemar de la Garza Arredondo, owner of Agromercados de la Garza, often buys Canadian canola meal from Mexican crushers, and would like to buy directly from Canadian grain merchants. “Not yet, (but) now we have a chance to buy directly,” said de la Garza, who along with Padilla Jones and eight other colleagues from the Mexican grain industry visited the Canadian International Grains Institute for a week of meetings, seminars and tours with Canadian grain industry counterparts. CIGI holds annual courses with many customers of Canadian grain, but this Mexican program was a special case, created after the Canadian embassy in Mexico noted that a lot of Mexican buyers were worried about the implications of the end of the CWB monopoly. The embassy contacted Agriculture Canada, which talked to CIGI, and the program was developed. Mexico has a different array of

However, it is a significant consumer of prairie crops. It is always a leading export market for Canadian canola and is often a significant market for grain

and special crops. It is also the dominant market for canaryseed although trade is currently restricted. Years like this one, with a serious drought in the U.S. Midwest and crop production problems in Mexico, have created odd flows of import grain for Mexican processors and millers, Padilla Jones said.

“We’re getting grain in Mexico from Brazil, from Argentina, from South Africa,” she said. That helps raise the interest in non-U.S. markets, and Padilla Jones wanted to take advantage of the CIGI program to make direct contact with Canada’s railways, grain companies and merchants. “I’m here because I’ve come to offer a fair option of transportation: rail-direct and 100 car unit trains into Mexico,” she said. She wanted to make connections “that will enable the Cargills, the Richardsons, the Patersons and the Viterras and everybody to price whatever they want to sell into the final destination.” De la Garza said the Mexican grain and food industries know Canada is an important source, but they know little about the country. The recent changes to the CWB have drawn attention to this lack of knowledge. “Canada is a neighbour. It’s a partner. It is a very important supply for Mexico. This trade is very important,” said de la Garza. “I think more companies, more individuals, should come to Canada to know about this change.” Padilla Jones said Canadian farmers and grain industry officials should consider visiting Mexico and attending grain industry events to learn more about the bustling market. “The Mexican market is no different from any other market in the world,” said Padilla Jones. “It’s a matter of price, quality and availability. (Canada’s farmers and industry) have the three.”

ALMATY, Kazakhstan (Reuters) — Kazakhstan’s 2012 grain harvest will be half of last year’s record after severe drought cut the average yield by 45 percent, the agriculture ministry says. Kazakhstan had harvested 14.7 million tonnes of grain by bunker weight as of Nov. 3, with the harvest complete across all 37.3 million acres seeded, the ministry said on its website. The central Asian country, one of the world’s top 10 wheat exporters, expects its grain crop by clean weight to be 12 to 13 million tonnes this year, less than half of the record 27 million tonnes of 2011, also by clean weight. Kazakhstan’s 16.7 million people consume 2.5 million tonnes of grain per year. Domestic supplies are not endangered by the drought, although the country will have to dig into its reserves to maintain its role as a major world exporter. The ministry has forecast that carryover stocks from last season will allow Kazakhstan to export eight million tonnes of grain in the marketing year to June 30, 2013. While this would be lower than the record 12.1 million tonnes exported in the year to June 30, 2012, it would be above the 5.9 million tonnes shipped in the previous marketing year. The average crop yield this year fell to 0.4 tonnes per acre from 0.72 tonnes per acre in 2011, the ministry said. The seeded area was also slightly lower than last year’s 37.6 million acres.

CANFAX REPORT FED PRICES UP

COW PRICES RISE

The XL Foods plant at Brooks, Alta., has resumed operations under JBS management, and the improved competition in the market lifted Canadian cash cattle prices. Fed steers averaged $113.78 per hundredweight, up $3.75, and heifers averaged $114.42, up $4.06. Those prices are $2-$3 higher than the same week last year. Most dressed trade was at $190$191 delivered. Steady to lower fed prices in the northern United States and weaker cut-out values discouraged U.S. packer interest. Carcass weights edged higher, but market-ready supplies remain manageable. Sales volume was 14,213, up 11 percent from the previous week, and there was little carryover. The cash-to-future basis strengthened by $3.18 to close the week at -$12.27.Weekly exports to Sept. 20 totalled 17,312, up 12 percent from the previous week. Manageable fed supplies heading into November should result in strengthening basis levels, and fed values could challenge annual highs. However, U.S. beef cutouts were hammered lower last week by the economic disruptions that accompanied Hurricane Sandy.

Slaughter cow pr ices rose 50 cents-$1 per cwt. while spotty reported dressed trade indicated prices might have fallen $1-$2. D1, D2 cows were $58-$73 to average $65.39. D3 cows were $50-$66 to average $58.17. Rail grade prices were $127-$132. Butcher bull prices rose 75 cents to average $77.95. Weekly western Canadian non-fed slaughter to Oct. 27 was 26 percent higher at 4,208 head. Weekly non-fed exports to Oct. 20 rose 48 percent to 6,703. Auction volume is expected to increase this week, but strong demand on both sides of the border should support steady prices.

FEEDERS EDGE HIGHER The fall run is in full swing and auction volume swelled 30 percent to 78,540 head. However, that was 26 percent smaller than last year at the same time. Feeder prices rose 50 to 75 cents per cwt. Stocker calves 300-400 pounds were the exception, trending $1.252.25 lower. Feeders 500-800 lb. traded steady to $1 higher and yearlings heavier than

900 lb. surged $2-$3. Weekly feeder exports to Oct. 20 rose 72 percent to 4,213 head. The calf run started a little later than last year, but auction volumes should still peak over the next couple of weeks. Feeder exports to the U.S. are price supportive. Strong demand is anticipated this week for 500-700 lb. calves, and pric-

CEREAL GROWERS | PROMOTIONAL ORGANIZATIONS

CRAIG’S VIEW

Commodity organizations must put farmers first

anadian cereal producers need national organizations to develop research funding and market development systems to advance their crops and maximize producer profits. The impetus for this is the removal of the CWB’s single desk, which had acted as an umbrella co-ordinator for wheat and barley, collecting farmer checkoffs, allocating research money and supporting market development through its own efforts and support of the Canadian International Grains Institute. Farm groups, commodity associations and agribusiness — in other words, those involved in the value chain from field to plate — are working to create organizations that will take up these roles. However, they have yet to develop a consensus about a guiding vision. For example, a working group spearheaded by farmers proposes a national barley council with representation from industry stakeholders, including growers, processors, grain handlers and livestock feeders. But the Western Grain Elevators Association, which represents major grain companies, advances an alternative vision, a national cereals council overseeing development of wheat, barley, oats and rye. Membership would be similar to that proposed by the barley group but would also include life sciences companies. The WGEA says its structure would give each crop its due but also have an efficient administrative structure and be able to effectively address issues that are common to all cereals. The barley council proponents prefer a more focused approach to concentrate on solving the crop’s gradual decline. It would have a targeted membership and be responsible to that group in tracking income and expenditure. It would provide greater assurance that check-off money collected for a specific commodity is actually spent to advance that commodity. Each cereal crop faces challenges.

Breeding has not kept up with the yield advances seen in crops such as corn. Farmers who grow cereals have seen their return per acre lag other crops. Canadian wheat and barley producers face strong new competition from farmers in other countries, particularly those in the Black Sea region. Oat farmers are struggling to maintain their traditional market among horse owners. Many of these farmers also grow canola and pulse crops and have seen the benefits provided by the Canola Council of Canada and Pulse Canada. Both organizations have had remarkable success advancing the interests of their crops. There are differences. Pulse Canada oversees development and market promotion of several crops. It has a trade association representative on its board — the Canadian Special Crops Association — but it is very much a farmer-driven organization. The canola council focuses only on canola. Its board reflects the whole value chain with representation from crushers, exporters, grain handlers, life science companies and growers, although growers are in the minority. Each of these organizational templates has its strengths and weaknesses. As the cereals sector works out these competing visions, all players should recognize the key position of farmers. The term value chain implies a series of links of equal importance, each sharing in the risks and rewards. However, the organizers of these new structures should also see them as houses resting upon a foundation: farmers. If it is not profitable for farmers to grow the crop, there is no grain to process or export and no fields to fertilize or spray. Farmer interests must be protected so they can be solid and sustainable to support the rest of the structure.

• Remembrance Day commemorates Canadians who died in service to Canada from the Boer War in South Africa from 1899-1902 to current missions. It is held every Nov. 11. • The first Remembrance Day was conducted in 1919 throughout the Commonwealth. Originally called Armistice Day, it commemorated the end of the First World War on Nov. 11, 1918, at 11 a.m.: the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. • From 1923 to 1931, Armistice Day was held on the Monday of the week in which Nov. 11 fell. Thanksgiving was also celebrated on this day. • In 1931, MP Allan Neill introduced a bill to hold Armistice Day on a fixed day, Nov. 11. During the bill’s introduction, it was decided the word “remembrance” would be used instead of “armistice.” The bill passed and Remembrance Day was first conducted on Nov. 11, 1931. Thanksgiving Day was moved to Oct. 12 that year. • The poppy is the symbol of Remembrance Day. Replica poppies are sold by the Royal Canadian Legion to raise money for veterans.

SUPPORT PROGRAMS | LOOKING AHEAD

Program cuts ruffle few feathers when commodities up, but when prices fall … NATIONAL VIEW

BARRY WILSON

he traditional boom-and-bust cycle of commodity prices typically has produced predictable reactions from prairie grain farmers. That is particularly true when the cycle hits the high price phase and farmer bottom lines are looking up. Many producers use some of that cash to finally replace equipment that has been coaxed through a few

additional years of bust. Some expand their land base to plant more crop so they can cash in even more during the remaining good years, although that typically increases land prices and capitalizes at least some of the benefit into land. A few use the cash to pay down debt, although overall debt levels have not declined since 1992. Many put some of that money into a rainy day fund or a program such as AgriStability, knowing full well hard times will come again. In other words, the years of high prices and improved incomes are generally positive times for grain and oilseed farmers as they take care of a little business that a positive cash flow allows. However, farmers may well look

back on the current commodity price boom with mixed feelings. All the usual short-term benefits are there, but this time governments are using what surely will be a temporary price spike to justify significant cuts to farm support programs and raise farmer costs. First came the Whitehorse agreement on the next five years of farm programming under Growing Forward 2, which will potentially cut several billion dollars out of AgriStability payments and government contributions to AgriInvest. Implicit in government arguments was that existing business risk management program benefits are too rich given farmers’ improved financial situation. Then came the planned increases in Canadian Grain Commission fees

as it opens a month of industry consultations on how to do it and by how much. They flow from Canada Grain Act amendments now before Parliament. These increases have been planned for years in light of annual commission deficits, but previous attempts to download more costs to farmers had failed, in part because of political resistance and arguments about farmers’ ability to pay. Last week, federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz was clear that the current price boom has given Ottawa the window to act. “We are seeing that there are some costs that the farmer can bear now with the increased value to their commodities,” he told the Senate agriculture committee. So when commodity prices take

their next inevitable plunge, farmers will find far fewer support dollars to help them weather it. They raised little fuss when it happened because, heck, they were making their money from the market and not the mailbox. A George Morris Centre report on the new policy framework lauded it overall as prudent but also as a gamble that assumes the price boom will last indefinitely. If that assumption is wrong, it said, farmers will find the programs inadequate and begin to abandon them, demanding ad hoc payments or program changes. This could lead to “much higher costs to the governments despite program changes,” wrote GMC executive director Bob Seguin. Now that would be an ironic unintended consequence.

EDUCATION | FARMERS FEED CITIES

Eat GM sweet corn? I’d rather eat bugs

Non-farmers get education at Royal fair

BY ALEX ATAMANENKO

damning new peer-reviewed study, “Long-term toxicity of a Roundup herbicide and a Roundup-tolerant genetically modified maize,” is calling into question not only the safety of genetically modified food but the stringency of government regulations and assessments. For the first time, a long-term and comprehensive study — two years, 200 rats and 100 plus parameters — has been conducted on the commonly used herbicide Roundup as well as GM Roundup Ready corn. Scientists at CRIIGEN, an independent research institute based in France, found that when exposed to even the smallest amounts, rats developed massive tumors, suffered multiple organ damage and died prematurely. Dr. Gilles Séralini, a key researcher in the study, said the findings are important. “It’s serious because these illnesses showed up after just four months on the diet and in the second year they were worse. “Until now, GM products have only been tested for three-month periods so no one’s been able to compare the pathology results before,” he said in a TV interview. When industry proponents, true to form, immediately rushed to criticize the study, Séralini said: “I’m waiting for criticism from scientists who have already published material in journals ... on the effects of GMOs and pesticides on health, in order to debate fairly with peers

Genetically modified sweet corn is the first insect and herbicide resistant crop that would be widely consumed as a whole unprocessed food. | FILE PHOTO who are real scientists, and not lobbyists.” It should be noted that industry studies that Health Canada relies upon to base its approvals are regarded as “confidential business information.” The department does not conduct its own safety tests. Health Canada claims it rigorously assesses all new information, including independent and peer reviewed published studies. However, when I requested the findings of Health Canada reviews on a long list of published research through a House of Commons procedure, it did not provide me the results of even one assessment.

Monsanto recently introduced its new line of GM sweet corn with names like Temptation II, Obsession II and Passion II. This corn expresses the toxin bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) in every cell of the plant and kills corn pests that eat it by rupturing their gut. It is also engineered to withstand applications of Monsanto’s signature herbicide, Roundup. Lucy Sharratt of the Canadian Biotechnology Action Network notes in her recent article, “GM sweet corn kills bugs but is it tasty on the BBQ,” that GM sweet corn marks the first insect and herbicide resistant crop in the world that will be widely con-

sumed as a whole unprocessed food. Until now, hard corn used in processed food and animal feed has largely prevailed. Another study by genetic engineers, “GMO myths and truths: an evidence-based examination of the claims made for the safety and efficacy of genetically modified crops,” found that, unlike industry claims to the contrary, GM crops: • use technology that is totally different from natural breeding methods and poses different risks • can be toxic, allergenic or less nutritious than natural food • do not increase yield • do not reduce pesticide use, but instead increase it • create herbicide-tolerant super weeds and increase crop disease susceptibility • have mixed economic effects • harm soil quality, disrupt ecosystems and reduce biodiversity • do not offer solutions to climate change • are as energy hungry as other chemically farmed crops • cannot solve the problem of world hunger but distract from its real causes — poverty, lack of access to food and, increasingly, land Given the growing body of negative science and the multitude of risks posed by GM crops that simply don’t exist in safer, more conventional methods of agriculture, it is high time for our government to stop rubber stamping GMO science and crops and adopt a far more precautionary approach.

VOLUNTARY CWB | MARKETING

CWB needs volume to thrive in marketplace HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

an a voluntary CWB survive and thrive when it doesn’t have its own handling facilities? Survive, perhaps. Thriving will be a lot tougher. After months of advising farmers not to miss the boat on the Oct. 31 deadline for its Harvest Pool, the CWB extended the sign-up deadline to Nov. 9. That doesn’t sound like a stampede of producers eager to commit. There have been reports from farmers of elevator companies less than eager to facilitate the CWB option. While some companies and specific managers may welcome CWB

business, others probably view it as a complicating factor for their logistics. They may even feel it’s akin to promoting a competitor. Consider this analogy. You see a used tractor sitting on a dealer’s lot. It’s what you’ve been looking for. “What’s the price on that tractor?” you ask the salesperson. “Oh, we’re selling that one on commission for a customer, but between you and me, you don’t want that tractor. The transmission is pretty weak and it’s going to need a lot of work. Maybe I have something else that will work for you.” Perhaps the salesperson actually wants to protect you. Or maybe he wants to make more money by selling you a different tractor. Either way, that tractor isn’t being marketed well. A similar situation probably exists at some elevator delivery points. A lot of farmers don’t walk into the elevator with the firm commitment to market 30 or 50 or 70 percent of their wheat or durum through the CWB.

They want to explore the options and compare prices. Cash prices for wheat and durum are relatively strong. Based on the CWB’s Pool Return Outlook, there seems to be little or no monetary advantage from pooling versus the cash price. And with the cash price, you get all your money up front. Pooling should assure an average price for the year. If you believe the CWB is a great marketer, maybe it will be an above average price. But it won’t be the top price and you’ll have to wait for a lot of your money. On top of that, your delivery options may not be as straight forward as selling directly to the elevator company. The federal government wants the voluntary CWB to work because it would dampen the criticism for ending the single desk. All the elevator companies have handling agreements with the CWB, and they’re no doubt sensitive about being branded as unco-operative. In theory, it should be great for producers to have a voluntary CWB as an option. In practice, it may not be

worth the bother and expense. Sure, the CWB has drastically pared down its workforce, but the cost for even 100 employees will add up unless a significant volume of grain is marketed. The CWB has a lot of good people who have worked extremely hard under difficult circumstances to make the organization relevant in a brand new marketing regime. However, at the end of the day, their success or failure will be based on the number of tonnes marketed. If the volume ends up disappointing in the first year, will there be any way to make further inroads in year two? Or will producers become more comfortable with cash sales and gravitate away from the CWB pooling option? History may show that the single desk supporters were correct. A dual market is great in theory but difficult in practice. Kevin Hursh is an agricultural journalist, consultant and farmer. He can be reached by e-mail at kevin@hursh.ca.

EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

JOANNE PAULSON, EDITOR

armers feed cities. I don’t need to tell you that, but it doesn’t hurt to explain it to urban folks. Farmers Feed Cities (FFC) is an Ontario group out to increase the “understanding of the value that farmers contribute to Ontario’s economic, physical and social health.” I’m sure you’ve noticed a big push from several quarters to explain agriculture to the eating public, using whatever resources are available, including social media. FFC is one organization doing just that. Indeed, it seems that much of the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair in Toronto this week is committed to bringing agricultural intelligence to the city. The fair still has its show rings, beef animals and dairy barns, but a large piece of it — and the show is huge — demonstrates livestock production to amazed urbanites, including a lot of children. May I add that the fair is well attended. By mid-afternoon Nov. 3 the lineup to get in was likely two city blocks in length, and that was just the ticket holders. The ticket booths also had long lineups. Among the educational displays was a long wall covered with 332 eggs, each one in its own little holder. The display noted that one hen laid all of those eggs, in varying sizes from pretty small to extra large. Lethbridge correspondent Barb Glen and I were impressed by the graphic intelligence provided by the display. Two large plastic cows were going over big with the kids, who could milk them quite easily with their tiny hands. Actual white fluid emerged from the udders when squeezed. A hog display showed a sow in a gestational crate with her 10 fourday-old piglets crowding around her teats. Of course, everyone thought the baby pigs were adorable, even if the crate is a subject of controversy. Nearby, older piglets were staggering around another sow, trying to get their legs under them. There were chickens in glass cages — beautiful, healthy laying hens — and baby chicks in another glass case. The Royal Winter Fair, now 90 years of age, had its roots in something more farm-based, but today there’s a large and strong element of urban education. Toronto is huge and crazy and mad with traffic and hustle and buzz. Do Torontonians have any understanding of the farm? If they go to the fair, they do. And that’s all good.

CHEMICAL TRAP To the Editor: I recently visited Alberta and found

a copy of The Western Producer to read outside on a warm fall afternoon. As I read through the paper and folded it shut, I felt shocked that the farmers of Canada have so much c h e m i c a l p ro p a ga n d a t o re a d through to actually find an article about farming. Every page had a slick ad. I felt that it was a slap in each farmer’s face. I felt that each chemical company is just laughing at each of you, as you pay thousands of dollars every year for “their” seeds and their poison.

TERRIBLE WASTE To the Editor: On the morning of Oct. 22, I woke up, made coffee and turned on the TV to my favourite news channel. The first thing I saw was the story on the landfill at Brooks, Alta., and the truckloads of meat being dumped and buried there. My first reaction was shock as to what a million pounds of beef is in terms of volume. Then it brought a tear to my eye as I realized what it really meant. It meant that nearly 1,333 head of cattle were wasted, and some of those wasted animals could have been ones that I raised. As a rancher, I have a social contract with my animals. I provide feed, water and shelter to them and in turn they provide their young to feed Canadians. As part of the contract, I am to be humane to them, not to abuse them or mistreat them, to care for them if they are ill, to provide assistance if they need it during birth and above all, to ensure their young are cared for and that their short lives are not wasted. Now, through an act of man’s greed, these some 1,333 lives were wasted. These were living beings that gave their lives to nurture us — not to be dumped as garbage into landfills. We have a moral responsibility to ensure we do not mistreat or waste these animals. They deserve better. Canadians must get involved and demand accountability for this wanton waste and demand our food system be restructured so that no more XLs occur. Write your MLA, MPP, MP and county and city councillors and demand change — and demand to be part of that change. And yes, please light a candle and place it in your window for those 1,333 wasted lives. Neil Peacock, Sexsmith, Alta.

are not simply a bigger yield, but that the farmer is trapped into purchasing stronger and stronger herbicides and pesticides that these seeds will not grow without. Surely these same farmers recognize that super weeds are among the problems that have arisen from this practice. Do they know that Monsanto has the patent to the infamous Agent Orange, and has, in the United States at least, made motion to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to use this product again? I am so sad that the grain farmers of our breadbasket have fallen as slaves to these powerful money hungry giants. In California, there is a bill called

OPINION Proposition 37, calling for all GM foods to be labelled. Simply let the people decide if they want to eat (purchase) a GM product. Over 80 percent of Americans have said they want to know, and they want to have a choice. It would be on the label alongside the ingredients, and nutritional content. However, agribusinesses poured millions of dollars into this bill to stop it. Why? Because they know their product makes people sick. If it were true that there are no side effects from the spray/herbicides and GM seeds, they wouldn’t be putting up all the fuss. Forty other countries in the world label their food if it contains GMOs, and this includes China and Russia. Canada and U.S.A., two leaders in the western world, do not. I want farmers of Canada to ask questions, get together, fight for your rights, fight for healthy choices. All

the fields, all the ground water, this is where you live, where you play with your children. There has to be a way out from under these chemical giants. Time to make new choices. Make them public, so everyone knows. E. J. Knox, Gibsons, B.C.

Calling critics “irresponsible and opportunistic,” she backs the necessity of using only sound scientific data. But her own key claim that GM products have been “used safely for the last 16 years with zero impact on human health” has no scientific data whatsoever backing it up. Nor can such evidence be gathered. That would require a comparison of cancer rates and other effects between those who eat foods with GM ingredients and those who don’t. Without GM labelling, it’s impossible to know which foods contain GM. So it’s impossible for Jordan, or anyone else, to scientifically verify whether GM foods are, or are not, linked to the rising rates of cancer in North America over the last 16 years. While pointing her index finger at critics, she is pointing three other

fingers back at herself: irresponsible, opportunistic and unscientific. Nettie Wiebe, Delisle, Sask.

y friend and I had agreed to disagree when we were asked to interpret our mission work in South Korea. A generational difference separated us and a certain degree of stubbornness made it hard to find a compromise. When we returned to Saskatoon, a colleague invited both of us to speak at a mission festival in his church. We took the man out to lunch and tried to explain he should invite just one of us to the event because our points of view on the work were so different. He listened, then told us we were still both on the agenda. “Let us know how you would like to proceed,” he said. After much soul-searching, we found a limited compromise. One of us would choose a number of picture slides and the other would offer comments on what was shown. Our integrity was intact. Anything anyone wanted to ask beyond this could be addressed to either of us. The program went along quite well and we, as participants, slowly recognized it was OK to speak from our different perspectives. Audience members knew us for the individuals we were. They didn’t need us to manufacture some unified garble. They had the right to listen for the diversity of opinion we offered, and make up their own minds about how we saw what we tried to accomplish. Not only did that colleague become a best friend, but I’ve often recalled the lesson learned. We show respect to others when we speak honestly and allow listeners to interpret what we have to offer. Generational differences, cultural difference, differences in economic circumstances — few of us look at life from the same angle. Dialogue helps all of us broaden our understanding. So the global society grows.

No extension for safe food bill

Exporters warn Ottawa of food bill’s problems

The ag committee denied opposition push for more time to review changes BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

The Conservative majority on the House of Commons agriculture committee has rejected an opposition motion that public hearings on sweeping food safety legislation be extended by a week. The committee has held one public session with agriculture minister Gerr y Ritz and Canadian Food Inspection Agency officials and two sessions with invited industry and consumer representatives. This week it moves to clause-byclause study of Bill S-11, preparing to possibly send the bill back to the Commons for final reading as early as Nov. 8. On Nov. 1, after largely supportive industry witnesses urged the committee to pass the Safe Food for Canadians Act but with amendments to clarify some of the bill’s provisions, Liberal MP Frank Valeriote suggested the committee add two hearing days to allow opposition MPs to prepare proposed amendments reflecting witness views. “We have only until tomorrow to prepare, submit for translation and get the amendments to you and we’re hearing witnesses on the eve of the day those amendments have to be submitted, which is logistically impossible to do,” he told committee chair Merv Tweed. He s a i d w i t n e s s e s p ro p o s e d amendments, and government officials should be called back to explain if they would be acceptable and if not, why not. Later, Valeriote said he was not trying to obstruct or hold up the legislation. “I just think we have to get it right and we should not just ignore witness proposals for some clarifying amendments.” Conservative MPs had told witnesses they should trust the government to introduce regulations to fix the problems that they saw, but first the legislation had to pass. Witnesses with proposed changes said they would rather see the wording of proposed changes and a guarantee they would be enacted before accepting a promise of change after the legislation is locked in. Under Conservative-imposed rules, discussion of the proposal for extension of hearings took place in private Nov. 1. The motion was defeated but there is no public record of the vote tally or Conservative MP arguments against extended hearings on witness proposals. MPs are prohibited from publicly discussing details of private committee meetings. Tweed said he simply was following the rules when he moved the discussion of “house business” into a closed-door session. The bill will strengthen CFIA’s ability to oversee the safety of imported food, mandate enforcement of a national food traceability system when it is developed and beef up a requirement that packing plants must provide food safety information demanded by the agency quickly and in a useable form. Ritz and agency officials say part of

the root cause of this fall’s E. coli contamination at the XL Food plant in Brooks, Alta., was a delay in receiving and digesting information from the plant about its food safety practices, which in the end were found to be inadequate. They say S-11 will help avert that problem in future. All opposition parties have pledged to support the bill. Representatives from groups such as the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association, Canadian Meat Council, Canadian Federation of Agriculture, Retail Council of Canada and Dairy

Farmers of Canada said the legislation was important and helpful in ensuring and being seen to ensure food safety. However, many also had suggestions for improvements to make future rules more clear or in the case of food importers, to avert unintended consequences they said could cost Canadian manufacturing jobs. Heading into this week’s committee hearings, the Conservatives had indicated no willingness to see the legislation amended.

Lost markets, jobs | Rules will have ‘severe negative implications’ BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

In the midst of general industry support and an all-party commitment to support proposed food safety Bill S-11, a senior business voice is warning of damaging unintended consequences. Keith Mussar, vice-president of the

Canadian Association of Importers and Exporters in charge of regulatory affairs, told MPs last week the bill would have serious consequences for Canadian jobs, food manufacturers and consumers unless amended. The Conservative majority on the House of Commons agriculture committee has shown no willingness to amend the bill.

NEWS “While the objective of the act to increase food safety is clear, the act as currently written will have severe negative implications for Canadian food manufacturers and Canadian consumers,” he told the committee Nov. 1. “Canadian food manufacturing jobs will be lost, Canadian jobs will be moved to the United States or other foreign countries (and) Canadian food exporters will lose access to foreign markets.” Mussar offered examples of potentially damaging sections of the bill: Although many companies import ingredients not allowed in Canada, use them to manufacture products for export and then export them to countries where the ingredients are allowed, the act would prohibit imports of food material not accepted in Canada. It would close down that export industry, he said. “Multinational companies that have manufacturing plants both in

Canada and the United States will have no recourse but to move the manufacture of those products from Canada to the U.S.” The bill prohibits export of foods that do not meet Canadian regulatory requirements even though they meet importing country standards. A prohibition on import of food ingredients not compliant with Canadian Food and Drugs Act prohibitions will hurt companies that import spices that are processed to make them Canadian compliant to be used in products. A rule that requires food exported from Canada to include such Canadian requirements as fortified flour will be damaging be-cause in the huge European Union market, fortified flour is not allowed so the market is inaccessible to those products. Mussar said amendments to the bill would not undermine its food safety objectives.

Producers don’t benefit from quality assurance Multiple certifications add cost to farmers but don’t translate into extra income BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Canadian hogs are a healthy bunch. Producers have embraced a number of certification processes to prove the point, and it’s always something the Canadian industry brags about. But is it worth all the extra effort and cost? “We have to ask the question of, ‘If we’re going to introduce new programs and add on to that (burden of existing programs), where does the money come from, who’s going to play, and how do we extract that value,” said Neil Ketilson, general manager of the Saskatchewan Pork Development Board. Ketilson, who helped develop a certification program for PRRS-free farms, said farmers often ask him about the multiple certifications and demands they face as part of regular production requirements. With traceability programs developing, animal care assessments and Canadian Quality Assurance in place and other programs operating, how much more can producers handle? “All those things now become a cost of doing business,” Ketilson told the Canadian Swine Health Forum in Winnipeg. “We try to extract value, but it’s very hard to do. So they become the expected norm and producers end up doing it for nothing.” Ketilson said the new PRRS-free certification involves 92 farms across Canada, of which 83 have submitted test results. The program is designed to offer buyers convincing proof that herds from which they buy are PRRS-free. This could become a much larger concern in the future as the United States attempts to eradicate PRRS. However, farmers need the increasing number of certifications to add value to their production. Ketilson said Saskatchewan and Alberta’s pork industry boards are examining “who is actually going to pay and who actually has the value” from the PRRS-free certification. If the producer doesn’t get the value, why should they pay? If nobody’s willing to pay, if the purchasers of the isoweans don’t see any value in it or are unwilling to pay a little bit for it, perhaps we should just can it, say it was an exercise, it was a study and just drop it,” said Ketilson. The same point applies to the other certification programs now in place. He says instead of taking part in more quality improvement programs, ‘let’s try to see if we can’t extract some value from that and make sure that the people that are actually doing all the work and providing the biosecurity and all these things for disease prevention get rewarded for it.”

CWB looks for options to boost market share Swine BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The CWB is satisfied with the amount of grain it has contracted from farmers so far but it is assessing new strategies, including adding another pool, to procure more. “We are satisfied with our market share to date,” said Gord Flaten, vicepresident of grain procurement with CWB. “However, given the environment that we’re in, we do want to procure more tonnes....” Speaking to members of the Inland Terminals Association of Canada, Flaten said high cash prices and the anticipation of future market rallies

has convinced some farmers to delay marketing decisions. Nonetheless, board officials are satisfied with farmer response to CWB pools, he added. The wheat board announced last week that it has extended to Nov. 9 the sign-up deadline for the harvest delivery pool, the second of two CWB pool contracts to be offered this year.

The original sign up deadline for the harvest pool had been set at Oct. 31. Flaten said Nov. 5 that another extension to the harvest pool deadline is not in the cards. To ensure participation in the CWB harvest pool, growers must commit grain before the Nov. 9 deadline. According to Flaten, CWB will f o c u s o n s e c u r i n g m o re g ra i n through cash markets after Nov. 9. But he did not rule out the possibility of launching a third CWB pool. “As far as additional pools for the rest of the year, we have an open mind on that right now,” he said. “That’s one of the things that (we’d like to know) is how popular and relevant ... those kinds of offerings

could be if we (offered them).” A few months ago, CWB officials projected that the new wheat board would handle 30 to 40 percent of the wheat, durum and malting barley produced in Western Canada this year. Flaten declined to say if the board was still on track to meet that target, but he said the CWB is in good shape based on early volumes committed. “We have a budget as far as what we assumed we would need for market share in order to achieve a certain profit target,” Flaten said. “I can say that if we (finish) up, at the end of the year, with the share that we have seen committed so far ... then we will achieve our targets.

dysentery cases rise The bacteria live in rodents and waterfowl and spread to pigs living outdoors BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Veterinarians and farmers had not seen swine dysentery for so long that they thought it was gone for good. Newly trained vets are now having to educate themselves about the widespread problem because it didn’t appear while they were in vet college. “ This is something that is reemerging across North America,” Al Theede, chair of the expert technical committee that looked at the recent re-appearance of brachyspira in Canada, told the Canadian Swine Health Forum in Winnipeg. “It’s something that many of us used to see years ago and (had) sort of disappeared from the industry but suddenly is back on the scene.” Brachyspira is the bacteria that causes swine dysentery. Eric Burrough of Iowa State University said the disease was so unknown to young veterinarians that infections noticed in the 2000s were sent to his Ames lab referring to “atypical diarrhea,” rather than suggesting the specific cause. However, the disease has now been spotted in most U.S. hog production states and has been seen across Western Canada. Brachyspira can cause a number of pig digestive problems, including diarrhea, loose stools and colitis. It is a disease family with many strains and Burrough said it is important and a challenge to identify which species of brachyspira are present in sick pigs and what is causing the problem. Sometimes a number of species are present, so the problem-causer can’t be easily identified. Some are relatively harmless, while others can severely damage pigs. The disease can live in rodents and waterfowl without causing them problems, so they are a reservoir of infection for pigs that live in housing open to the outdoors, and to those in enclosed systems in which material is brought inside. Burrough said farmers and vets who suspect they’re seeing brachyspira in a barn need to send suspect diarrhea to a lab. Randomly testing pigs is less likely to find it, but a patch of bloody, mucousal diarrhea could be collected and sent for testing. Burrough said the dysentery form of infection is easy to spot in manure. “(It has) a tomato soup-like look to it. You can see, maybe, a bisque,” he joked. “Once you’ve seen this in a barn, you don’t forget it.” Many labs are working on the disease and some of the old drugs still work to control it. Burrough said incidents of swine dysentery and other brachyspira diseases are appearing across North America, but some of the apparent rapid spread could simply be because vets and farmers are now looking for it.

ENVIRONMENT | CARBON FOOTPRINT

Tree gifts gain popularity More than 300,000 trees planted | The Carbon Farmer plants trees for clients who want to buy trees as gifts for carbon offsets CAMROSE BUREAU

Alberta’s Parkland County got a little bit greener this summer after 91,000 white spruce were planted in the municipality. However, county officials didn’t have to lift a shovel or open their chequebooks. Instead, the trees were planted by The Carbon Farmer, an Alberta company that co-ordinates tree planting in exchange for carbon credits or with people who want to give a sustainable gift. Besides the county’s recreation areas, the company also planted trees in Alberta Land Trust parks in the Edmonton area. The project is part of a request by a client who wants to plant 327,000 trees, the equivalent to the number of trees he has cut down. Brad Raibey of The Carbon Farmer will co-ordinate the tree planting over two years in parts of the province where they will never be cut down. “To see an initiative like this come forward is great,” said Parkland County mayor Rod Shaigec. Next year, Raibey plans to plant for his client white spruce, jack pine, trembling aspen, white birch and balsam poplar, which are native to the area. The Carbon Farmer started as a small pilot project in 2007 as a pilot project on Raibey’s family farm east of Manning in Alberta’s Peace River area. The Raibeys have since planted 190,000 trees on their farm’s poorer quality land. One-third of the farm is now planted to trees. The family has planted another 122,000 trees on other land. The project is part of Alberta’s carbon offset credit system, in which large industrial carbon emitters must buy offset credits from other sectors that help reduce emissions in Alberta. Raibey’s clients need to buy trees to offset their carbon footprint or replace trees that are cut down. However, he also has smaller clients who want to give the gift of trees as wedding or Christmas gifts. For Raibey, it’s one more income stream for the farm. “We wanted to know what we could do to give us sustainability for people, place and profit,” he said. The trees in the offset program were initially planted on Raibey’s farm, but now he is reaching out to other landowners and governments who have land where trees can be planted. “The family farm is not big enough for those trees.” The small seedling plugs come from either Woodmere Nursery in Fairview, Alta., or Coast to Coast Reforestation in Smoky Lake, Alta. Raibey works with professional foresters to decide what trees have historically grown on the land. He then does site preparation, hires tree planters and maintains the areas until the trees are established. “We’re in the growth phase of the business,” said Raibey, whose Nov. 21

appearance on CBC’s The Dragon’s Den will include a request for funding for marketing and strategic partnership. With the television show’s two million viewers, Raibey is hoping it will encourage people to visit his website to order trees as wedding gifts, Christmas gifts or as a way to offset their carbon footprint. For $1.99 a tree, a wedding couple can buy trees online as thank you gifts for their guests. Each tree will have a code to iden-

tify where it was planted. “It’s a way to connect to the forest they helped create.” This winter, Raibey will try to find landowners, including other municipalities, who want to have trees on their land. “As clients come to us, we match them up.” For other clients, each Carbon Plus Credit costs $15 and is the equivalent of about three trees and the reduction of one tonne of greenhouse gas emissions.

GMO labelling gains ally Biotech supporter | Prof says industry has failed to educate consumers

Nutritious Partnerships For almost four decades, the University of Saskatchewan has been a partner in one of Canada’s longest-standing private-public research partnerships. At the College of Agriculture and Bioresources, faculty are conducting research in oat breeding, oat pathology and oat agronomy, with support from Quaker Oats. One of North America’s biggest and most widely recognized food processors and suppliers, Quaker Oats, now a division of PepsiCo, has been selling oats—and telling people that they’re good for them—for 134 years. “Quaker Oats have always had an interest in grain quality, in order to make their products more marketable. They were the main driver behind the heart health claim in the U.S. for oat beta-glucan,” says Aaron Beattie who recently took over oat breeding in the Crop Development Centre (CDC) from retired Brian Rossnagel, a longtime figure in oat and barley breeding. Beta-glucan is a soluble fibre that has been linked to reducing blood cholesterol levels. “We’ve always emphasized crop quality in the breeding program. Another area of strong effort has been to increase groat content,” says Beattie. “When oat processors such as Quaker buy a tonne of oat from Saskatchewan and Manitoba, they want to get a maximum amount of groat, the internal part of the seed that we eat as oatmeal, since the hull is of limited value.” Over the last almost 40 years that particular area has seen a lot of progress. The CDC’s program has contributed significantly to improving the groat percentage of the oat grown in Western Canada, particularly in Saskatchewan and Alberta. Back in the mid-1970s, the varieties of the day averaged a little bit better than 70 percent groat. The varieties that the CDC are now developing approach 80 percent groat. Although not wholly responsible, the breeding work done at the CDC has helped the entire food oat industry become more efficient.

Canada’s biotech sector has failed to communicate the benefits of genetically modified food to consumers, which is why a University of Guelph professor supports mandatory labelling of GMOs. Sylvain Charlebois, associate dean of marketing and consumer studies at the Ontario university and an expert in food safety and distribution, said the science shows that GMOs are safe. However, a large segment of the public doesn’t trust the science because they don’t trust the biotech industry. “It’s not so much a matter a safety; it’s more a matter of trust,” Charlebois said. “(People) don’t really trust the companies; therefore they feel that GMOs are unsafe.” Farmers Feed Cities, an Ontario ag awareness organization, conducted a survey this fall to determine how Canadians make food choices. The survey found 41 percent of Canadians believe GMOs are safe for consumption. “This was a nationwide survey, equally distributed across the country,” said Dennis Jansen, a communications assistant with Farmers Feed Cities.

Charlebois, who supports the biotech industry, said the survey data indicates companies have failed to sell the public on the global benefits of genetic modification, such as food security and reducing food prices. “These things may be true, but consumers need to be convinced.” He said mandatory GMO labelling would force biotech companies to engage with the public and “demystify the science behind GMOs.” Owen Roberts, who has taught agricultural communications at the University of Guelph’s Ontario Agricultural College since 1995, said the key word is transparency when dealing with GMOs. As a result, he said, the agriculture industry and the public need to talk about mandatory GMO labelling in Canada. “In the name of transparency, it (GMOs) will be out in the open. Maybe some people won’t buy genetically modified food (if its labelled), but they also won’t have to guess.” However, a short-term communication blitz on GMOs won’t cut it, Roberts said. “This absolutely cannot be a one time effort,” he said. “With those kinds of figures (only 41 percent of Canadians believing GMOs are safe), this has to be a

major, concerted effort that the industry makes to explain a challenging technology to consumers.” Charlebois agreed that the biotech industry doesn’t dedicate sufficient resources to consumer awareness. For example, he said Bayer Crop Science, BASF and Monsanto spend millions on product research at the University of Guelph but spend little on consumer research. “They’re not supporting research around consumer trends or consumer behaviour and they should,” Charlebois said. “That’s where the battle lies.” Roberts said 20 years ago the prevailing thought was that consumers would view GMOs as just another technology. He said that decision still haunts the industry. “My perception is that it is still suffering from the original lack of communication,” Roberts said. “(The industry) still doesn’t put enough resources into consumer education.” The biotech giants did create CropLife, a trade association to represent the plant science industry. However, Charlebois said CropLife Canada dedicates most of its resources to public policy. “It’s a lobby group and consumers don’t trust lobby groups.”

In addition to improving grain quality, Quaker Oats has also recognized the need for a viable oat grower community. “The CDC has always stressed the importance of good agronomics in oat varieties and in recent years Quaker has increased their interest in this area. They’ve made concerted efforts to connect directly with growers and have funded research focused on production, all in an effort to improve the growing and selling of oat”, says Beattie. The arrangement between Quaker and the college began in the mid1970s as a $5,000-a-year commitment, and has since blossomed into an annual contribution of more than $500,000. In recent years, the University of Saskatchewan has become Quaker’s primary Canadian research partner. That’s no small honour—and it represents a major contribution to the college’s legacy of co-operative partnerships. For researchers like Beattie and his predecessor Rossnagel—and for the quality of prairie-grown oats—the funding is a boon. Quaker Oats, meanwhile, can sustain and improve the quality of its products, reaping the rewards of the college’s world- class research. www.agbio.usask.ca

ALFALFA | ROUNDUP READY

Plan to pave way for Roundup Ready alfalfa Reduce GM migration | Forage Genetics International will apply for commercial registration once issues have been addressed BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The Canadian seed industry is working on a plan that could set the table for the commercialization of Roundup Ready alfalfa in Eastern Canada as early as next year. Stephen Denys, president of the Canadian Seed Trade Association, said the association has begun work to develop a co-existence plan for the production of genetically modified alfalfa as a hay crop in Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic Canada. The plan would outline steps that should be taken to ensure the orderly production of Roundup Ready alfalfa and minimize the chance of gene and pollen flows between fields. It would also deal with set-back distances between GM and non GM alfalfa crops, equipment sanitation and seed migration from one region to another. Forage Genetics International (FGI) of Wisconsin, which has exclusive rights to commercialize Roundup Ready alfalfa in Canada, has indicated it will not do so until a co-existence plan has been completed and other issues related to agronomic management and producer stewardship have been addressed. Last week, CSTA members took an important first step in that direction. Stakeholders from the seed and forage industries took part in a CSTA sponsored workshop in Kitchener, Ont., to discuss co-existence issues, including liabilities associated with the potential migration of GM alfalfa seed from Eastern Canada to Western Canada. FGI officials say a plan could be in place by late 2012 or early 2013. The company could apply for commercial registration in Eastern Canada next year once the plan has been finalized and other outstanding issues have been addressed. Denys said the co-existence plan is being formulated specifically for alfalfa forage producers in the East. “I think everyone in the industry recognizes that the elements of the industry are different in Western Canada, so Western Canada is going to have to be dealt with in a different way,” he said. Regulatory authorities in Canada have already approved the use of Roundup Ready alfalfa and have concluded it poses no risk to human health or the environment. However, FGI has yet to apply for commercial registration, partly because of persistent concerns by organic farmers and conventional alfalfa seed growers, who say potential market damage is likely to occur if the crop is commercialized. A significant portion of Canada’s conventional alfalfa seed production is exported to Europe, where GM alfalfa has yet to be approved and where low tolerance thresholds for unapproved GM varieties have the potential to disrupt trade. Denys said it is important to have a co-existence plan in place, even if commercialization of GM alfalfa does not occur in Canada in the immediate future. Although some alfalfa growers are opposed to the crop, others are eager to see it commercialized

because it simplifies weed management and offers potentially higher yields. Roundup Ready alfalfa is already produced in the United States and accounts for nearly 70 percent of total production in some states. “One of the reasons that the CSTA is facilitating this process … is that when we look ahead, it not just alfalfa (that will be affected) but other crops as well,” Denys said. “Today it’s GM alfalfa … tomorrow — maybe 10, 15 , 20 years from now — it could be cereal crops. There’s

going to be demand for certain traits in the market so we want to make sure there’s a process in place.” Mike Peterson, lead of global traits with FGI in Janesville, Wisc., said the commercialization of Roundup Ready alfalfa in Canada is not a done deal. “What we’re doing right now is … testing experimental Roundup Ready varieties in Eastern Canada and looking at local adaptation and yield and winter hardiness and those types of things. We’re also in the process of gauging … commercial mar-

keters’ interest … but this is all focused in Eastern Canada right now.” If it does occur, commercialization in Western Canada will not take place until growers have been consulted, he added. “It’s really going to have to be driven by the western Canadian hay growers and seed growers.” In Ontario, Ann Slater, co-ordinator with the National Farmers Union, said support for GM alfalfa among the province’s forage producers is far from unanimous.

Commercialization will have an unknown impact on Ontario’s alfalfa seed and organic farming industries, she added. She said exercises aimed at controlling pollen flow from one field to another will be unsuccessful, regardless of the distances involved. The result for organic producers and seed growers will be the loss of markets. “Our experience with GM Triffid flax shows how quickly export markets can be shut down due to contamination,” she said.

CANADIAN GRAIN COMMISSION | FEE HIKE

Ritz defends grain commission changes, fee hike User fees at 1992 level | The ag minister also said changes to inward inspection of grain will not undermine food safety BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz was on Parliament Hill Nov. 1 defending higher user fees at the Canadian Grain Commission. He insisted at the Senate agriculture committee that the changes are overdue, revenues must be raised after two decades of fee freezes, farmers can afford it and ending unnecessary mandatory services will make the commission more costeffective.

“These proposed changes will contribute to a competitive and innovative grain sector by reducing costs, improving regulation and providing choice for our producers and others in the grain sector overall,” he said. The overhaul of the Canada Grain Act was included in the government’s mammoth budget implementation bill that was approved in principle by the House of Commons last week. The Senate committee quickly began studying the agricultural-

related sections. The House of Commons agriculture committee begins its study Nov. 6 with an appearance by the minister. The changes are aimed at downloading some costs onto farmers as a

way to end the grain commission’s dependence on government subsidies each year to meet its costs. User fee levels frozen since 1992 left the commission tens of millions of dollars short each year and required an annual plea to Ottawa for help. Ritz said this period of higher grain prices makes it an opportune time to shift more of the system costs to farmers while giving them more flexibility to decide what optional services they want and are willing to pay to receive. The commission will continue to

cover the costs of mandatory grain quality and food safety services. “There have not been any changes to the costing for the work done by the grain commission to assure quality and consistency for over 20 years,” Ritz said. “We are now seeing our grain sector for the last two and almost three years doing quite well. It’s time to start making those changes. The benefit in maintaining the initial grading is for the farmer himself so we are seeing that there are some costs that the farmer can bear now with the increased value to their commodities.” One of the major proposed changes is to end mandatory inward inspection of grain moving within the system from the point of delivery to an export terminal, often from facilities owned by the same company. Inspection for quality and grade still would be mandatory at point of delivery and point of export. Grade quality issue

Critics have argued ending the mandatory inward inspection will undermine the grain quality and food safety system. Ritz went on the attack. “In no way do our proposed changes to inward inspection impact food safety as some have said,” he said. “Inward inspection is not and never has been about the safety of Canadian food.” It is a way for companies that blend grain during its journey from delivery to export to ensure grade is maintained, he added. Companies or farmers who want that commercial service still will be able to have it done privately or by grain commission inspectors on a fee-for-service basis. Ritz said ending the mandatory inward inspection will remove $20 million in costs from the system, almost certainly at the expense of inspector jobs within the commission. Neither Ritz nor CGC officials said they were able to say yet how many jobs will be lost. Layoff notices and staff reductions will involve working with the inspectors’ union. The minister also defended the government proposal to change the way farmers are protected from loss if a grain dealer goes bankrupt after taking delivery of the grain. For decades, dealers have had to post a bond to cover the potential liability for inventory. The Conservatives are proposing this be changed to a risk insurance system. Chief commissioner Elwin Hermanson told the committee it will free up hundreds of millions of grain industry dollars now held in bond and available for reinvestment once the bonding ends. He said switching that system to a market-based insurance scheme will also reduce the need for the grain commission to audit and oversee the bonding system, which will also take costs out of the system and reduce commission staff. Critics, including former agriculture minister Ralph Goodale, warn that the change will leave farmers more vulnerable to loss.

RURAL BUSINESS | COFFEE

Coffee importer believes in a fair shake Man. business deals directly with growers | Father-daughter duo sell coffee to businesses in and around Winnipeg BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

CLANDEBOYE, Man. — Derryl Reid believes in sharing the wealth. The coffee importer from Clandeboye, Man., buys organic beans green from South American growers, roasts them and sells them to businesses in and around Winnipeg. Dealing with growers directly and enabling them to recoup more of the money are keys to Reid’s business strategy at Green Bean Coffee Imports. “For us, it’s to make a living. (For them), the money is to survive,” said Reid. Growers use the money for the bare necessities of life: food, clothing and educating their children. “Coffee is grown by marginalized people,” he said. Reid and his daughter, Alix, who re c e n t l y j o i n e d t h e b u s i n e s s, described how beans are painstakingly picked and sorted by hand. “Someone is getting ripped off,” said Alix. “We’re used to that bottomless cup of coffee that should have never happened.” She brings her experience working in coffee shops in Alberta to the operation. “(Derryl) was all alone before and (the business) was all in his head,” said Alix, noting how she helped improve the organization, workflow and accounting. Both Reids also took a barista course, with Alix now in charge of roasting the beans. This day, she monitors the process from a laptop computer connected to the natural gas heated roaster. She manually adjusts airflow, temperature and time during the 16 minutes it takes to roast six kilograms of beans. “Light to dark roast only is a matter of seconds,” said Derryl, noting a darker roast decreases the caffeine content. “The longer you roast coffee, it starts to roast out a lot of flavour in coffee. It’s like cooking a good steak, you get flavours coming out but once you overcook it, you’ve lost the flavour.” Derryl, who has a degree in aquaculture, chose to run his own company after leaving a job in fisheries

and watching the steady rise of coffee, a staple in Canadian menus. “I wanted to start my own business and follow something I’m passionate about,” he said. “Coffee was a part of my passion.” A native of Nova Scotia, he recalled small towns dwindling alongside cod stocks and the related industry. Derryl wanted to live in a rural setting and foster a strong local economy, selling goods within a short commuting distance to small and independent businesses. “We look at everything else before we look at the money side,” said Alix, who wanted to help build a for profit company that is also socially responsible. “For me, it’s trying to do that and stick to a value system,” said Derryl. That includes transparency in their dealings with growers. Their contract is displayed on their website at www. greenbeancoffeeimports.com, showing a container load of 260 60 kg bags purchased for $110,000. Derryl plans to soon buy another container load. He also drives a hybrid car splashed with the company logo and sells goods in recyclable or reusable bags and containers. Derryl attends a farmers’ market, does in-store sampling and attends trade fairs such as SIAL’s international food show in Toronto, which helps keep him in direct contact with consumers and buyers. “It keeps us on track,” said Derryl. The facility is certified organic and must adhere to on-site audits, regular reporting and minimum prices paid to producers. The five-year-old company turned to Community Futures North Red to create a line of credit enabling it to buy directly from a co-operative in Bolivia, which Derryl recently visited through a trip organized by Canadian Crossroads International. Jason Denbow, executive director of Community Futures Manitoba, said CF offices offer small and medium rural companies help with business plans, regulatory details, financing and market research. He said it’s common for clients to have funding from both traditional lending institutions and CF.

Derryl Reid operates a natural gas heated roaster at Green Bean Coffee Imports. | “It’s not meant to compete with those institutions, but to complement them,” he said. The CF volunteer board of directors also looks at how a business will help the region. “The goal overall is to help the community become stronger. A business that’s not going to improve the community would not be looked at favourably,” he said. Denbow advised entrepreneurs to choose realistic business ideas based on what they are knowledgeable about and what they enjoy. “They may see themselves as the restaurant owner at the door welcoming clients, but are they recognizing it also involves being awake at 2 a.m. cleaning the grease trap,” he said. He noted that more than 80 percent of businesses fail after five years. “Those clients that get into the business because it’s something they love to do are the ones that

roaster out of Derryl’s house and into an outbuilding on his 72-acre property, but they also dream about one day opening a coffee shop. “We’re at 30 percent of what we could be doing,” said Derryl.

DUNCAN, B.C. — Ramona FroehleSchacht and her husband, Stephen Schacht, started growing their own food when they first settled on British Columbia’s Denman Island 35 years ago. In 1984, they moved to Victoria where they ran the Out of Hand Gallery, which in turn spawned the Island’s biggest Christmas craft show, Out of Hand. After raising their son, Jeremy, and daughter, Jessica, the couple bought a five-acre Cowichan Valley property in September 2007 and named it SOL Farm. Stephen, who was raised in California, was drawn by the longest growing season in Canada and the nearby Cowichan River and fertile soil. SOL means soil in French and sun in Spanish and is also an acronym for small, organic and local. Berries, flowers and meat chickens are produced in addition to vegetables that include heirloom tomatoes, fingerling potatoes, squash, herbs, sweet onions and tayberries. This year was the best tomato season ever, something Stephen attributes to perfecting the growing techniques used in their large greenhouse. “The soil has the optimal amount of everything,” he said. The organic farm produces about 22,000 kilograms of compost each year, much of it from coffee grounds

picked up at high-end coffee shops in nearby Duncan. Their organic meat birds, which are raised outside in pens that are moved to fresh pickings twice a day, sell for $4.95 per lb. Rising feed costs are among the family’s biggest challenges. The price of organic feed has jumped to $20 per 22 kg.. bag this year from about $13 in 2011, with a 60 percent jump forecast by Christmas, Stephen said. Another expense was fencing to keep out deer that “decimated whole crops,” Ramona said. SOL Farm sells its products at markets in the region and to a restaurant. Stephen and his son, Jeremy, look forward to releasing their first distillery products next year, which would include a vodka flavoured with tayberries. Jeremy graduated from the University of British Columbia with a chemical engineering degree. “Those are skills you can apply either to the oil industry in Alberta or (to) build a still,” Ramona said. “We talk about how we can add value to what we’re producing. Jeremy’s passion is to make pure spirits and flavour those with botanicals and berries and stuff we grow on the farm.” The toughest part about getting the distillery in place has been meeting provincial liquor licensing regulations, Stephen said. This past growing season, the farm received help from nine volunteers from World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The WOOFers have a hard time keeping up with us because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard work,â&#x20AC;? said Ramona. But the rewards of farm life are worth the toil, the couple says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We live five minutes from the Cowichan River. If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a dusty, hot day weeding out in the fields, we head to the river and swim. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the most fabulous place to be,â&#x20AC;? said Ramona. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You get up in the morning and kind of go all day until you go to bed at night. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lifestyle.â&#x20AC;? This month, she will focus her efforts on custom jewelry, designer

fashions, delicate pottery and homemade chocolates at Out of Hand. The annual juried artisan craft show is slated for Nov. 23-25 at Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Crystal Garden. Spots are limited to about 100 so Ramona picks a variety of the best submissions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having done this so long, I know what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking for. I also need to ensure thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good range of work.â&#x20AC;? The event has become a gathering place for skilled artisans, including many drawn from rural areas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In this day and age, if you say the word craft, for some people it connotes toilet roll covers or something that their granny did, which is all well and good but it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t describe what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing, which is more professional, more artistic,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Craftspeople donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tend to live in cities. They live in rural areas, where itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s less expensive and they can set up their kilns. They need to congregate in a larger metropolis to go to their customers rather than the other way around.â&#x20AC;?

Provincial bureaucrats who administer Saskatchewanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s labour legislation say they are developing a clearer understanding of what is and isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t farm work in modern agriculture. A clause in the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Labour Standards Act, which sets the minimum standards of employment, exempts those â&#x20AC;&#x153;employed primarily in farming, ranching or market gardening.â&#x20AC;? The provision is intended to reflect the nature of work on traditional family farms and excludes egg hatcheries, greenhouses, nurseries, bush clearing operations and commercial hog operations. Challenges to that provision arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t common, said Glen McRorie, director of compliance and investigations with the labour relations and workplace safety ministry, but have occasionally prompted a variety of decisions. For example, breeding dogs on a farm doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t meet the exemption, but the day-to-day activities of fish farming do. However, McRorie said there is a caveat. The exemption doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t apply if workers are engaged in pro-

cessing a product. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen is that the courts really looked at restricting that somewhat to individuals who actually do that farm kind of labour,â&#x20AC;? said McRorie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The other interesting thing is our farms are getting bigger, but size doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really matter.â&#x20AC;Ś As long as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of one entity and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s looking after raising animals, if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s raising crops, that kind of thing, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to fall within the exemption.â&#x20AC;? A Court of Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bench decision last year found that Nancy Holdner, a former bookkeeper and office manager at Rocking Hills Cattle Co. near Kenaston, Sask., was owed $6,280 by her employer for overtime pay and statutory holiday pay. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of these ones are on the edge,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In this case, the person was a bookkeeper that worked full time. â&#x20AC;&#x153; The company appealed the original adjudicatorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ruling, arguing Holdner was employed primarily in farming and ranching as defined by the act. The adjudicatorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ruling was upheld. However, McRorie said most cases and complaints are more clear cut. Even as farms grow large, and operators seek more work from off-farm

employees, the exemption stands. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As long as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farming work, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter how big (the operation) is. We probably would fairly quickly weed those ones out,â&#x20AC;? said McRorie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the ones like the processing, the custom work, the bookkeeper. Those are the ones that we then take a look at, and we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a significant number of those. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a very big percentage of our work.â&#x20AC;? The government published a consultation paper on updating the legislation earlier this year. It mentions the exemption and identifies the rise of larger farms with more sophisticated, corporate structures. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This raises the question of whether the current exemptions are appropriate,â&#x20AC;? reads the report. The province solicited feedback to the report during the summer. The Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities, which took a status quo approach, cited farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; reliance on family members and seasonal employees. A September news release from labour minister Don Morganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office said that the updated legislation will be introduced in the provincial legislature this fall.

Haukaas Levelling Shovels - Set of 24

Canada’s centennial year. At La Ronge, Sask., he began life as the pop half of an 800 sq. foot mom and pop grocery store in a bustling aboriginal community. Robertson’s decision to settle there would affect the community for decades. The former grocery store, now called Robertson Trading Post, blossomed into a 10,000 sq. foot landmark frequented by locals, northerners, outfitters, miners, hunters and tourists. Then, as now, the store bought fur and sold durable clothing and portable shelters rugged enough to withstand hard days and nights on a trail whipped with bitter wintry winds. It introduced a trapper’s bank, which offered on-the-spot cheque cashing so vital in the northern cash economy. Today, the business also expedites supplies to northern bush camps. In recent years, Robertson’s son, Scott, took over the store. Alex died in 2010. At age 10, Scott had travelled with his fur trading father, visiting most settlements on the Churchill River and gaining an understanding of the North, its people and the importance of trapping. Alex was trained in Montreal in grading furs and spent 20 years working for the Hudson Bay Company, including summer relief work at company stores across northern Canada. Scott is troubled by the changing face of the north and blames economics, inflated fuel prices and deflated fur prices. “The last couple of decades have not been very friendly to the trapper,” he said. “Beaver prices last year almost tripled, (yet) they are not quite where they were in 1948. Beaver kissed a $40 average last year.” In 1948, $40 could buy the equivalent of $409 worth of goods today. “The fur business is greatly misunderstood,” said Scott. “To a white man, trapping is a bad business. To an Indian, it’s (the same as) picking berries. So long as you don’t pull up that blueberry plant by the roots … you can pick berries the same place your great-grandmother did. You can trap beaver in the same lakes (that) your great-grandmother did.”

SCOTT ROBERTSON ROBERTSON TRADING POST

The decline of the fur trade resulted in northerners migrating to urban centres to seek new livelihoods. “We have seen thousands of aboriginal people leave the north. The wilderness part of northern Saskatchewan is virtually empty now.” As a consequence, native tradition has begun to erode. “The Cree language and culture, the beadwork, the moccasin making, all that culture that we hold near and dear goes hand and hand with the fur business and it is going to disappear with the fur business,” he said. A tenacious few continue to trap and come to the Trading Post “every day, all winter long to trade marten, beaver and lynx pelts. “A guy half freezes to death going out on the trap line because his SkiDoo broke down and he’s got a bag full of fur he doesn’t want to leave out in the bush for some wolf to eat so he drags that back 14 miles through a blizzard,” said Scott. “Those kinds of (experiences) create a tougher, more independent individual, as opposed to the government worker who, on his way home, just wants the cheapest green onions he can find.” The store sells onions along with pelts, wood and antler carvings. Aboriginal beadwork and paintings also pepper the aisles and walls. “That’s my father’s legacy,” said Scott. “He loved the north and he surrounded himself with it.”

GIFT IDEAS | HERBS AND SPICES

Painkillers may cause high blood pressure

Ramp up holiday gifts with herbs, spices TEAM RESOURCES

hristmas shopping is underway and spices offer one way to create a yearlong gift. Spices are the bark, root or seed of

certain plants or trees from a tropical climate while herbs are the leaves of an annual or fleshy garden perennial. Spices are more potent and can stand up to longer cooking times. Herbs that can take longer cooking times and hold their flavour when dried include rosemary and sage. Begin by smelling what you have on hand, tossing out any herbs and spices that are flat, dull, harsh or acrid tasting. Use them in your favourite recipes to develop an idea of the amount you prefer. Some spices are earthy like cumin and turmeric, others are spicy

I am a fairly fit and active 65-year-old male. My blood pressure is usually normal, but recently I checked it on a friend’s machine and it was high at 170 upper and 95 lower. I had been taking a lot of ibuprofen (about 1,200 milligrams a day) for a toothache and was also on antibiotics. Could this combination have caused the high blood pressure? It is back to normal since I stopped the medications.

Are you sure that your friend’s blood pressure machine is accurate? Double-check your blood pressure at the doctor’s office. Normal blood pressure is around 120/80. You may have been under stress from the toothache. Stress is more likely to affect the top number than the bottom one. Ibuprofen and other painkillers such as acetaminophen can actually cause high blood pressure (hypertension) if taken in high doses for a period of time. This is because they are metabolized or broken down and digested by the liver and kidneys. Your kidneys do not just get rid of water in the form of urine. They also eliminate waste products produced in the body. They also have a role in determining your blood pressure. If the kidneys work too hard, they increase production of aldosterone, which helps regulate salt and water levels. This compound is normally broken down by the liver, but if that organ is also struggling with metabolizing the waste products produced by the ibuprofen, blood sodium and potassium levels rise. This leads to fluid retention and high blood pressure. Think of a plumbing system where water flows through narrow pipes under high pressure. The more medications you are taking and the higher the dosage, the harder it is for your kidneys to cope. If this goes on for months or years, your kidneys can suffer permanent damage and even complete renal failure. You are fortunate that your blood pressure returned to normal. Taking any type of antibiotic puts an additional strain on your kidneys. You need to be careful with painkillers. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose on the label, and maybe take less to be on the safe side.

Make your own spice mixtures for fresher and more flavourful seasonings. like ginger and chilies, some are floral or sweet like vanilla, star anise and rose petals and others add colour like saffron and turmeric. Consider how spices will taste with other ingredients. Nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon and cardamom are used in cakes and cookies but they can

also be used in savoury applications such as stews. Learn how the taste changes when processed. Garlic has different flavours depending upon whether it is raw, sautéed or roasted. Some, like ginger, have a better or different flavour if fresh. Here are some tips: • When using dried herbs, use only a fraction of what’s called for with fresh ones. • Use only the leaves of herbs that have woody stems, like thyme or rosemary. • A coffee bean grinder works well for grinding whole spices. • Use whole spices and freshly grind as needed to preserve shelf life. • Toasting spices in a dry pan will bring out more flavour. • Do not toast saffron, the dried stamen of a special crocus. It should be rehydrated before using. • Start with a small pinch and no more than two or three spices.

• Whole spices can be tied in a cheesecloth bag or bouquet garni for easy removal while cooking. • Protect herbs and spices from heat, light and air.

HOT APPLE CIDER BOUQUET GARNI Cut a double thickness of fine cheesecloth into three to four inch (7 – 10 cm) squares.

SUPPLY MANAGEMENT | MILK PRICE

Dairy industry says milk price worth the money Fair compensation | Farm leader says producers quit in countries where prices are too low STORIES BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

The price of milk is frequently criticized as being too high in Canada compared to the United States and other countries, but the chair of Alberta Milk defends it. Hennie Bos, a dairy farmer near Lacombe, Alta., said milk is not expensive considering its value. “I would say, if you look at your total grocery basket, dairy is only one percent of what your grocery basket is, so it’s all relative. But good wholesome

product is not cheap. In this case, I would argue it is a fair price,” Bos told a south region meeting of Alberta Milk Oct. 30. Canadian dairy product prices are set using a complex formula derived from production costs and the consumer price index. Bos said milk prices in countries that have deregulated milk pricing are much higher, citing New Zealand as an example. Statistics Canada figures for July 2012 indicate the average retail price for whole milk was $2.39 per litre and

partly skimmed milk sold for an average $2.30 per litre. However, Bos said 85 percent of milk in Canada is sold in four litre jugs at about $4.65 per jug, which would then put the cost at $1.12 per litre. The U.S. Bureau of Labour Statistics lists the U.S. average retail milk price at $3.47 per U.S. gallon in September, or 92 cents per litre. Average price in New Zealand is more difficult to confirm. The New Zealand Herald pegged it at $1.79 per litre in the July 2011-12 fiscal year but

didn’t specify whole or skim product. Dairyco, a British dairy farmers organization, lists its average liquid milk price at about $1 Cdn per litre. Bos said the latter low price was the source of dairy farmer protest this past summer. Deregulation has put farmers there into a declining spiral, and the country no longer produces enough milk to supply its own residents. “You can only compromise (on milk price) for a period of time but not for a long time, because there’s no point in staying in business,” he

There’s a link between dairies and retail stores that receives little attention from consumers and other players in the milk industry. It’s the truck that collects milk from dairies and takes it to processors. Collection involves traffic, poor winter roads and sometimes adverse conditions on dairy farms. Mike Southwood, general manager of Alberta Milk, reminded dairy producers in the southern region Oct. 30 about the yard policy now in place across Western Canada. It requires them to maintain good truck access and comply with safety rules. “We lose efficiencies if we get trucks stuck in the yard or that can’t get in to pick up in a timely and effective and efficient manner,” he said. New this year is a policy prohibiting trucks from reversing into or out of a farmyard and into a lane. Southwood said two major frustrations for haulers are small driveways that don’t easily accommodate large trucks and an insufficient area in which to turn trucks around. On the list of minor concerns are: • yard too muddy • excessive potholes • parked farm equipment impeding trucks • snow not plowed • manure in lane or turnaround area • branches blocking view or scratching truck Southwood said producers who don’t take action could have their milk licences suspended until improvements are made.

DAIRY | IMPORTED CHEESE

Alta. dairy farmers vow pizza kit war Supply management | The imported kits use cheese amounts that circumvent tariffs BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Alberta dairy producers like pizza because of its generous use of cheese. But they aren’t fans of pizza made from “pizza kits” that contain imported cheese and are used by Canadian companies to make pies for retail sale. In September, Dairy Farmers of Ca na d a l au n c h e d a c ha l l e n g e through the Canadian International Trade Tribunal seeking a ruling on pizza kits. Hennie Bos, chair of Alberta Milk and a member of the DFC board, explained the problem Oct. 30 to dairy producers in Alberta’s south region. He said imported ingredients that circumvent tariff protection provided by supply management remain a big issue for both organizations. Food must include more than 80 percent cheese to be classified as a cheese product under Canadian rules. The pizza kits in question contain 79.8 percent cheese. As such, they are classified as a food preparation and not subject to tariff. “This particular product, the pizza

kit, is coming in and it is prepared specifically to circumvent this classification,” Bos said in an interview after his presentation to dairy producers. “It is clearly a way to circumvent the tariff on cheese.” He said the matter was raised with the federal ministers of agriculture and international trade, but no action was taken. A CITT challenge was the only remaining route. The challenge is likely to be heard this spring and if successful, Bos said it may prompt government to create an “anti-circumvention provision” to discourage similar products. Bos said dairy farmers also have a problem with the small dairy creamers and milkers used in coffee and hot beverages. “These products are no longer made of solely milk and cream. Cheaper ingredients are used to replace the milk. Some of those ingredients may very well be imported protein concentrates,” he said. Substituting other ingredients for milk and cream robs Canadian producers of revenue and may also mislead consumers if they think the

product is 100 percent dairy. “ The consumer has not been informed that the product has changed,” he said. “I think that is something that we should not accept as an industry, but also not as a society.” Bos said the Canadian Food Inspection Agency has been informed of the matter.

FOOD BANKS | LATEST REPORT

National food bank use reaches record levels Rural use increases 12 percent | Food bank use increases 14 percent in Manitoba but falls slightly in Saskatchewan, Alberta STORIES BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

The federal government regularly brags about Canada’s strong economic performance compared to other nations, but the country’s food banks see a different side of the economy. When Food Banks Canada did its annual hunger count in March, member food banks reported that more than 882,000 people were helped that month, which was a record number. In rural Canada, the total was almost 130,000, a 12 percent increase over the previous year. O ne of the largest provincial increases came in Manitoba, where food bank use increased 14 percent. There was a small decrease in Saskatchewan and Alberta as the resource economy booms. Food Banks Canada executive director Katharine Schmidt told an Oct. 30 Parliament Hill news conference that the growing need for food banks in Canada should be a call to action for governments to tackle the root cause — poverty. “It is shocking that in a country as prosperous as Canada, hundreds of thousands of children rely on food banks to have enough to eat each month,” she said. The HungerCount 2012 report,

which was released Oct. 30, called for governments to invest in affordable housing, increase benefits for poor seniors and increase social assistance and tax benefits and training for unemployed workers unable to benefit from Employment Insurance. “Hunger is toxic for those living through it and it is harmful to Canada as a whole,” said the report. “It reduces the economic contributions of individuals and increases costs related to health care and social services.” In the House of Commons, human resources minister Diane Finley defended the government’s record in the face of criticism from New Democrat MP Libby Davies, who accused the Conservatives of promoting tax cut policies that help the better off the most. “We are acting to help those who are struggling, because our heart

goes out to them,” said Finley. “The difference between us and the NDP is we are acting. We brought in the working income tax benefit and increased it. That helps over one million people get over the welfare wall. We brought in the largest increase in the guaranteed income supplement for our poorest of seniors, the largest increase in a generation.” She said that by voting against Con-

The report also singled out the Alberta government for praise because of a recent policy change that provincial food bank officials say should help to reduce the need. In April, new premier Alison Redford announced a $400 per month increase in the Assured Income for the Severely Handicapped program. This announcement is “a huge boost for people with disabilities,” said the report. “Across the province, food banks

believe this will lead to a significant decrease in the number of people with disabilities needing their help.” The report included a profile of the food bank in Innisfail, Alta., which like food banks across the province experienced a sharp increase in need when the recession began and then a decline in the last two years. It is a roller coaster that is difficult to manage, said the report. According to the report, Alberta food banks helped 53,512 people in March, down more than 5,000 from last year but still 60 percent higher than food bank use in 2008 before the recession.

MEAT INSPECTION | B.C. SYSTEM UNDER REVIEW

B.C. ag minister searches for meat inspection options Ottawa pulls back | Some fear that giving abattoir staff responsibility for inspections will damage credibility BY ROBIN BOOKER SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Questions surrounding who will assume responsibility and pay the costs for meat inspections once the federal government pulls out are beginning to escalate in British Columbia. Ottawa plans to pull out of providing inspection services at some meat-packing plants in the province at the end of next year. B.C. agriculture minister Norm Letnick said the province would have to pay $3 million to $5 million more for meat inspection under the plan. “Before I go in front of the treasury board and ask for another $5 million a year, I want to know what the other options are,” Letnick said. According to Statistics Canada, animal slaughter and processing in B.C. is worth about $1.5 billion annually. Letnick is considering passing the responsibility of killing floor inspections from government inspectors to abattoir staff, a process called the preventive partnership meat inspection approach. Mike Noullett, president of B.C. Association of Abattoirs, is concerned that shifting inspection responsibility to the industry will hurt the credibility of the meat packing industry. “We believe there should be third party inspectors. There should be no onus put on the plant owners to do their own inspection. It takes away all credibility of the inspection system because the owners have a financial stake in what’s happening.” While packing plants in the province that export beef out of province or internationally will continue to be inspected by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, Noullett is concerned a provincial self-inspection system may hurt how international buyers perceive B.C .’s packing industry. Kevin Boon, general manager of the B.C. Cattlemen’s Association, said to maintain consumer confidence, everything must be done to prevent undue influence in the inspection system. “The importance of meat inspection for both food safety and animal health are paramount. It’s also paramount this be done by a third party and funded outside of those that are making money from it.” Letnick expects to make his final decision by January. “I think we all recognize that it would be inappropriate to have the inspector paid for directly from the inspectee. There’s to much potential for conflict of interest,” Letnick said. “But maybe there is some other way we can fund the short fall in the system.” Another change Letnick is considering is to increase the ability of farmgate operations to slaughter and sell their own animals. “Any course of action I decide on will have to meet the criteria of my triple aim: health and safety, to make sure the As and Bs continue to be financially successful, and to try to put some animals back on the farm,” Letnick said. Standards var y with different

licences and hygiene protocols vary with the size of the operation. The system is designed to avoid putting onerous regulations on small, rural slaughter facilities, which could render them non-viable. The provincial slaughter class A licence allows both slaughter and cut-and-wrap services, class B allows for slaughter only. In 2010, to allow for local meat sales in isolated communities, the provincial government introduced class D licences, which allow for slaughter and sale to consumers or stores and

restaurants of up to 25 animals a year. Class E allows for the slaughter and sale of up to 10 animals per year directly to consumers. Noullett said E licences provide a good opportunity for E. coli and other food born bacteria to get into the food chain. “We believe there should be a tightening of the rules and laws instead of laxing them,” Noullett said. “With the E licenses there is no inspection at all. Guys can be butchering in their backyard, throwing a warm carcass in the back of their pick-up truck, and then

taking it to a cut and wrap shop. That goes against everything that meat hygiene is about.” Dick Blewett has maintained a herd of around 12 cattle for about 30 years in Bella Coola, B.C. where the nearest abattoir is about 100 kilometres. He has a class D licence that allows him to butcher his animals and get them cut and wrapped locally. He sells six to eight cattle a year, directly to customers, or he can sell to local stores and restaurants. Blewett said the major problems with food born diseases like E. coli

stem from large meat processing plants. However, he also said there should be more inspections associated with class D licences. No government inspector has ever watched Blewett slaughter an animal. Letnick said the danger of the possible risk associated with the D and E licences, is offset by the low number of animals that are allowed to be sold. For information on the B.C.

OLDS COLLEGE | NEW PROGRAM

Alta. college to offer brew master course BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Olds College is looking for applicants to its new brew master program, as long as they’re 19. The two-year diploma program has received a steady stream of inquiries from industry and prospective students since the Olds, Alta., college announced the program earlier this year, said program co-ordinator Peter Johnston-Berresford. The school started accepting applications last week for the program’s first class, which begins in September 2013. Twenty-four students will be admitted to the program, and Johnston-Berresford is expecting stiff competition for those spots from a wide range of applicants, who are embarking on their first or maybe even their fourth career. “I’ve had mature individuals who are saying, ‘listen, I don’t want to be an office worker anymore, man. I’ve always been an avid home brewer, what do I need to do?’ “ said Johnston-Berresford. The school is encouraging applicants to gain industry experience before applying. “What’s more important is you have the right mindset and that’s somebody who’s more than just a beer drinker because that’s like half the bloody planet, right?” said JohnstonBerresford. “The thing that we want is people who feel the call, feel the need to do this.” Classes will cover the art of craft brewing, the science and engineering behind the practice and the sales and marketing aspects of the business. Students will gain experience manufacturing beer in a new teaching brewery on campus and receive feedback on the product as it’s sold through restaurant and retail outlets. “There’s no point in us putting together a program that graduates students for which there will be no positions,” said Johnston-Berresford. “I can tell you right now we know darn well that there will be positions in all aspects of the brewery related industry.” The program is an expansion of one started by Ontario’s Niagara College and developed with input from the Canadian Food and Wine Institute. It is a departure for a college known for its agriculture, animal science and horticulture programs. Olds is probably the only school to house both a brewery and a meat processing program complete with a kill floor. Johnston-Berresford, a horticulturalist, is in charge of launching the program, but a faculty, including a brew master and instructors with industry experience, will be in place for the fall. “We’re not just going to do this off the side of our desk,” he said.

INSECT CONTROL | WHEAT, CANOLA

Alberta growers tackle army of insects Midge, flea beetles and cabbage seedpod weevils wreaked havoc in wheat and canola fields BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

It was the year of the insect in Alberta. Central Alberta saw an outbreak of bertha armyworms, while pea leaf weevils and cabbage seedpod weevils rebounded to higher numbers. As well, cutworms were a major problem in a few areas, Scott Meers said in his annual Alberta Crop Insect Update 2012. Wheat and canola insects will continue to be problems as farmers focus mostly on those two crops, said Meers, Alberta Agriculture’s insect specialist. “As you have less diversity, it means more insect and disease issues.” He said farmers can expect to see more wheat midge next year and re commended grow ing wheat midge tolerant varieties to lessen the problem. “It’s a very difficult insect to scout effectively for and it’s easily missed if you’re not scouting effectively,” Meers said. “I do believe we have to be more diligent about making disease and pest control decisions. We need to make decisions on what is happening in the field.” Meers said larger farmers are hiring agronomists to scout for disease and insects in the summer because of the amount of time needed to effectively do the job. In oilseeds, cabbage seedpod weevil numbers were above economic thresholds for spraying throughout southern Alberta. Spraying was common south of the Trans-Canada Highway. It’s now considered normal to scout and spray for the insects in southern Alberta. Bertha armyworm

but damage was minimal in the rest of the province. Reports of high flea beetle numbers this harvest may be a foreshadowing of things to come next year. Lygus bugs were found in moderate to high numbers in early flowering canola in southwestern Alberta. The numbers increased as swathing approached and farmers sprayed a lot of acres for the pest. More acres should likely have been sprayed based on threshold numbers. Leafhoppers were more numerous in canola fields this year, including

aster leafhoppers, which created the high number of aster yellows in many fields this year. R o o t mag g o t s w e re c o m m o n throughout the province, and zebra caterpillars were discovered in one field near Brooks. Western white larvae were found in canola but are not considered an economic issue. Cereal growers seemed to have fewer problems with wireworm, likely because of better chemical control. Wheat stem sawfly damage was low in much of southern Alberta.

Orange wheat blossom midge occurred in increased numbers, but little spraying took place. Meers is expecting an increase in midge numbers next year. Cereal leaf beetle has established itself in southern Alberta. A beneficial wasp continues to keep numbers low. Cutworms were not as common this year, but damage was reported across all cereal producing areas. The pea leaf weevil was the main pulse crop insect. Damage was more severe than in previous years.

Warm weather likely favoured early flights of over-wintered adult weevils. The alfalfa weevil caused concern in alfalfa and hay crops.

CORN | SEED SHORTAGE

SOYBEANS | EARLY SEASON SHORTAGE

Growth in Manitoba corn acres hindered by seed shortage

Note maturity days when buying soybeans

Drought in parts of Ontario cut into corn yields BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Corn acreage expansion in Manitoba has hit a setback. It is still expected to increase for 2013 but by less than previously forecast due to seed shortages, say dealers. For example, NorthStar Genetics Manitoba has already booked its Maisex corn sales for next spring. “We were basically sold out from the time we had access to our allocation, so there’s a definite shortage of corn seed t his y ea r,” s a i d Ray Wytinck, general manager of NorthStar. Growers who want a seed variety suitable for their area may not be able to buy it, so the shortage will restrict corn acre expansion in Manitoba. “ The bottom line, there isn’t enough supply to meet demand,” Wytinck said. “I’m hearing it across the board that there isn’t any more corn (seed) available. So I think it is going to limit the amount of acres in Manitoba.” Based on Manitoba Agricultural Services Corp. statistics, producers insured 273,000 acres of corn in 2012, a record for the province.

Scott McIntosh, an account manager for Pioneer Hi-Bred in Carman, Man., said his company is also sold out of certain corn varieties. Like Wytinck, he said the shortage will limit corn expansion, but acres should increase by 10 to 15 percent in 2013. Seed dealers in Manitoba are short on corn seed because most companies produce seed in Ontario. The drought in parts of Ontario this summer cut into corn yields, including the production of seed, said Les Carriere, district sales manger for Hyland Seeds in Carman. “Some (companies) got caught up in the dry weather we had and production didn’t pan out like it should have. They were forced to cut back supply.” The lack of supply has combined with increased demand, sparked by above average yields and high corn prices, to cause the shortage. In general, there isn’t sufficient corn seed for what Carriere described as the “northern tier genetics,” needed in Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Supplies of varieties that need 2,000 to 2,300 corn heat units during the growing season are “very, very tight.”

WHAT ARE CORN HEAT UNITS?

BY ROBERT ARNASON

• Corn is a crop that likes heat, but not too much heat. The corn heat unit (CHU) calculation assumes that maximum growth occurs at 30 C and growth rates decline at higher temperatures.

The shortage isn’t as severe as corn, but Manitoba seed dealers are also running out of early season soybeans needed for growing regions outside the Red River Valley. As a result, growers in western Manitoba and Saskatchewan should be careful when buying the appropriate bean variety for their farm, said Ray Wytinck, general manager of NorthStar Genetics Manitoba. “There will be companies out there selling later season material … but if you’re a first time grower … pay really close to attention to the maturity and heat units of the variety.” Industry observers are predicting that soybean acres could top one million in Manitoba next year, up from 850,000 in 2012. Many of those new acres will be north and west of the Red River Valley, the province’s traditional soybean region. Ed Rempel, a canola and soybean grower near Starbuck, Man., said Manitoba producers are competing with Saskatchewan farmers for soybean seed. “The short season soybeans in Manitoba that are available at seed retailers are flying off the shelves and going to Saskatchewan.”

• As well, CHU assumes that growth doesn’t occur if night temperatures drop below 4.4 C, or if daytime temperatures are below 10 C. • Corn hybrids grown for silage require 2,000 to 2,100 CHU. Typically, grain corn hybrids require 2,200 to 2,400 CHU to reach maturity. • Manitoba’s Red River Valley receives, on average, 2,500 to 2,600 CHU per year. Western Manitoba usually receives 2,200 to 2,400 CHU during the growing season. Source: Manitoba Agriculture

“Our shorter genetics … they’re in great demand because they are an earlier maturing variety and have a dry down that makes things more manageable for producers.” Producers may not be able to acquire the corn seed they want but Carriere still thinks acres will rise in Manitoba next year.

Farmers have been telling us that when it comes to growing canola they are looking for more than yield. With outstanding yield potential, DEKALB brand canola hybrids also offer strong agronomics, an enhanced disease package, ease of harvest, and the superior weed control of the Genuity® Roundup Ready® system, to provide the total offering.

BRANDON BUREAU

Growers need to check growing requirements of soybeans they are buying. | FILE PHOTO Wytinck said growers in western Manitoba and Saskatchewan could take a chance and grow a later maturing variety, but there are no guarantees of success “I would really recommend under 2,400 heat units. Once you’re getting over 2,400 heat units, you’re talking a mid-season variety,” he said. “If we have a summer like last year, we’ll probably get away with it. But if we have a normal summer, cool, wet weather combined with an early frost, it could prove to be an unfortunate experiment.”

AG POLICY | GROWING FORWARD

Ag policy changes risky: report Think-tank says the new Growing Forward may not address volatile pricing risks BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

The new Growing Forward agricultural policy deal is receiving mixed reviews from the George Morris Centre. The policy framework, which cuts safety net spending and directs some of the savings to innovation research and programming, is slated to take effect April 1. The Guelph-based think-tank said in a report published last week that the changes are “bold and positive” but also a gamble if market and price conditions worsen and farmers find programs inadequate. The changes could end up costing governments more in less predictable payments, it added. The centre’s executive director Bob Seguin also complained that a major flaw in the agreement is that ministers have not included a way to assess whether investments in non-business risk management programs are effective in meeting innovation goals.

ment programs and put more emphasis on innovation. The deal that ministers struck in Whitehorse in mid-September was based in part on an optimistic view of strong agricultural economies into the future, as well as pressure from governments to cut costs. “These are bold and positive moves — and prudent ones,” Seguin wrote. “(But) there are real risks that the pricing environments facing Canadian producers are more volatile than anticipated and it is unclear if the revised BRM programming will adequately address such risks and meet producer expectations.” Seguin said the test could come as early as next year if hog industry losses continue and crop prices fall as some analysts predict. “If the market outlooks for 2013 and beyond do not fall in line with earlier estimates of more optimistic outlooks, then lower coverage levels will be seen to be less favourable to participants, will discourage program participation or lead to much higher

costs to the governments despite program changes,” he wrote. Another possibility is that the new program framework “could be replaced with either ad hoc programs or revisions to address stakeholder concerns.” In fact, farm leaders and opposition politicians predicted after the Whitehorse agreement that sharp reductions in AgriStability coverage and g ov e r n m e n t c o n t r i b u t i o n s t o AgriInvest could lead to more farmer demands for ad hoc or emergency aid, which is the funding instability pattern that ministers were trying to g e t away f ro m w h e n t h e y f i r s t sketched out the principles of Growing Forward in 2001. Seguin also argued that governments should make more of an effort to develop transparent measurement tools to assess the success of non-BRM program spending on improving industry productivity. He called it a “key policy and program gap” that exists in the current agreement. “There continues to be little clarity on the key results from these initiatives and insufficient (or completely lacking) measurement of them to test and inform participants and governments if the desired results were achieved,” he said. “At present, the de facto measure of success is whether the program budgets were spent.”

Alberta approves elk hunt near Medicine Hat army base LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Elk damage to private property around Canadian Forces Base Suffield has prompted the Alberta government to establish special elk hunting licences for the base. As of Nov. 1, hunters can buy a $9 quota licence to hunt antlerless elk on CFB Suffield land north of Medicine Hat. Only 200 licences will be issued, and only online, on a first come, first served basis. The permits will apply to one of four special hunts, of five days each, on Nov. 12-16, Nov. 19-23, Nov. 26-30 and Dec. 3-7. Hunters must register at www. albertaelm.com and buy a wildlife certificate. They will need a yellow paper tag to buy the special licence

online. These tags are available at district Fish and Wildlife offices. Only Alberta residents are eligible for the licences. Hunters will have to comply with specific procedures implemented by the army base, which include signing in and out, hearing a safety briefing, signing a waiver of liability, checking with the base 48 hours before the hunt, being escorted on the hunt by range control soldiers and clearing elk carcasses through a check station. A news release from Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resources said the elk reduction program is a trial “that will provide information about the effectiveness of public hunting as a management option for population control on CFB Suffield.”

Study probes colony interactions BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Hutterite colonies’ strengths are their strong social foundation and widely diversified crop and livestock base. That’s also their greatest biosecurity risks and something Hutterites and veterinarians want to understand better. “They’re unique from really any other farming model that we have in Alberta and Saskatchewan,” said University of Calgary veterinary school researcher Egan Brockhoff. “You’ll have 10 different livestock enterprises and you have people moving in some cases very freely from the poultry barn to the pig barn to the

kitchen, and it’s a communal kitchen, and then back with their kids (who attend) a communal school.” Brockhoff and two colleagues are designing a survey of 20 Dariusleut and Lehrerleut colonies in Alberta and Saskatchewan that will hopefully reveal how people and livestock interact on Hutterite colonies. The colonies are not like other common mixed farms because the underlying social structure creates far different human flows employing larger numbers of people. They also involve many types of livestock. Figuring out all the ways humans and animals interact on a colony will be difficult. “It’s a bit more of a social science

survey,” Brockhoff told the Canadian Swine Health Forum. “(For example), the minister wants to be able to move freely around his flock and enter sites at his will to speak with people,” he said. “This creates risks and it’s sometimes difficult to encourage them to do the boot change and the hand wash, and to shower through.” Another complication is the movement of children between the barns. “The colonies encourage this,” said Brockhoff. “They want their children to move between sites and understand what happens on the colony, and they want to encourage the children to be engaged.”

ENERGY | REGULATIONS, RESPONSIBILITIES

Underground resources create issues above Landowners, energy companies | Both have responsibilities and violations can be costly BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

RED DEER — Western Canada is not only bread basket to the world but also a secure source of oil and gas. But as farms grow larger with heavier and wider equipment, the chances for conflict over damage to the land and energy installations increase, says Humphrey Banack, second vicepresident of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture and a grain farmer from Round Hill, Alta. Four major pipelines owned by Atco Gas and Enbridge Inc., ranging in diameter from 24 to 48 inches, snake across his 5,000 acre farm in east-central Alberta. There are at least four gas installations and a telecommunications fibre optics line. He also knows Enbridge is planning more pipelines by 2014. Regulations state farmers can disturb only the top 30 centimetres of soil over a pipeline. They should not leave deep ruts or remove or add soil. They must call before they dig if they want to build a fence or outbuilding. However, Banack worries about damaging the metre-deep lines as farm equipment becomes heavier and wider. There is also the risk of hitting above ground installations. “When you are seeding around these with a 60 foot drill or sprayer, it is a long way to the outside,” he told the Alberta Synergy conference held in Red Deer Oct. 30. He is also concerned about the effects on his land. There is increasing government pressure to adopt on-farm food safety and biosecurity programs, but if oil field equipment enters his land and introduces blackleg, clubroot, fusarium head blight, insects or weeds, he won’t know about it until it is too late. “We have everybody coming in from who knows where tracking in

Companies are supposed to clean their equipment, but Banack said he wants to know who is liable if something is introduced. “Two years from now if we find clubroot on my property, will Enridge compensate me for that production loss?” Pipelines should not interfere with normal farming practices, said Celine Sirois of the National Energy Board. Each province has its own regulations governing pipelines, while the NEB regulates those crossing provincial or international borders.

1 Excellent

A major regulatory concern is ensuring pipelines are not damaged. Each province has a toll free line to ensure people know there are no pipelines where they want to work. Companies have a long list of responsibilities when they receive their permits to operate. They are required to tell landowners along the line what the setbacks are and what is being carried in the pipe. The size of setback depends on the location, geography and what is being carried in the line. “They are not necessarily no work zones,” Sirois said.

“Just because there is a right of way does not mean a third party can’t do any activity near the pipeline.” Companies must regularly monitor the condition of their lines for leaks and make sure they are not exposed by erosion. “The company is responsible for identifying any risk that could be posed to a pipeline or to the environment and have a strategy to mitigate that,” she said. “Over time, they should be in contact with a landowner and they should be monitoring what the condition of their pipeline is.” The company has to ensure that a

line will be repaired and made safe if it is exposed because of erosion. “If we know a pipeline has become exposed in a waterway or in an area where people have to go over it all the time to the point where those activities are going to compromise the integrity of the pipeline, then that is a problem,” she said. Starting next year, the NEB will have the authority to levy fines when a third party damages a pipeline. An individual could be fined up to $25,000 and a company is liable up to $100,000 for each day of the violation. FOR RELATED STORIES SEE NEXT PAGE

ENERGY | NEW TECHNOLOGY

New methods open doors to opportunity, controversy Hydraulic fracturing | The new technology requires more water and creates more noise, dust and concerns about environmental damage STORIES BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Drilling for coalbed methane gas is increasing in southern and central Alberta where some of the largest deposits are found. This is a coil driller, more recently developed technology used to bring the gas to the surface and into the pipeline network. | FILE PHOTO

RED DEER — Unconventional gas wells are becoming the new normal for the North American energy industry. “Given the proper tools and technology, we can unlock resources that we previously believed we could not unlock,” said Don Allen of the Canadian Society of Unconventional Resources (CSUR). Conventional oil and gas reservoirs usually flow easily to vertical well bores. In unconventional reservoirs, natural gas is trapped in the pores of finely textured sedimentary rocks such as shale. New technology developed in the last five years has changed the way energy companies can retrieve these resources. The ability to drill down deep and then turn horizontally below the surface was a major technological breakthrough. “This industry is evolving by leaps and bounds. Almost every month there is a new patent being issued,”

Hybrid $60/acre CANTERRA

Allen told the Alberta Synergy meeting in Red Deer Oct. 30. The organization represents landowner groups, energy companies and government, which gather to collaborate on energy development and conflict resolution. Fifty percent of gas in the United States and 30 percent in Canada comes from unconventional sources. Alberta has drilled 5,000 horizontal wells since 2008. The technology requires multistage hydraulic fracturing of the rock formations. Drilling times are longer and may go down 2,000 to 3,000 metres to shale formations or 1,500 metres to tight sand layers. A coal bed methane well could be completed in three days while the shale formations could take a month. More wells are clustered on a single pad. There is more water use, more dust, more noise, more traffic and probably more controversy. Using large amounts of water to open fractures in the rocks is a major source of conflict, although experiments with carbon dioxide and nitrogen are ongoing. Alberta Environment allocates about 10 billion cubic metres of water a year to the various sectors. Irrigation receives more than 40 percent of the annual allocation, while water for fracturing receives 0.07 percent. Fracking has been around for more than 50 years, and there were problems with the process in the past, particularly with the way waste fluids were stored in the 1990s, said CSUR president Kevin Heffernan. “We are seeing a trend in operators and operating practices with a lot more introspection and thinking about their operations and how they can do them better,” he said. Keeping up with the technology is a challenge for regulators, said Bob Willard of Alberta’s Energy Resources Conservation Board. “We have a fairly strong regulatory foundation in this province and as the resource changes, we believe the regulatory environment should also change with it,” he said. Landowner and community concerns about the effects of these activities are increasing. The public wants easy to understand and easy to find information. In January, the board will launch a

website that provides full information on the kind of fluids and chemicals used in the fracturing process. A similar site called fracfocus.org already exists in the United States. The board is also switching to more regional oversight, in which infor mation is based on plays (hydrocarbon reservoirs) rather than single wells. Companies working within a large play will be challenged to co-operate and share more information with each other and the public. A company will be encouraged to talk about its drilling plans with municipalities and local synergy groups for the coming year. Companies may be asked to coordinate some of their activities on road and water use as well as how they might affect local land use and watershed plans. Current regulations require energy companies to inform people living within a radius of 100 or 200 metres of activity, but people living beyond those boundaries are also affected and frequently told nothing. Willard said that needs to change. “We want to support science and innovation, but we see a need for growing and planning and increased co-operation among the companies and increased information for the landowner and enhanced community engagement,” he said.

Lack of communication major cause of conflict TRACY MCCRIMMON SUNDRE PETROLEUM OPERATORS GROUP

It outlines steps such as explaining what the project is, listening to the residents’ concerns, educating residents about the plans and collaborating with communities. Energy companies are encouraged to use plain language so landowners know what they mean. They also need to provide contacts so residents can call with their concerns. Residents should be told when a development will start, what will happen and when it will be completed. They also want to know how many companies may be working in their area. “It is not just one-company operations. It could be 10 or 15 potential companies,” she said. SPOG also facilitates between companies and the public and can often resolve differences early on. As well, it can act as a go-between when an incident occurs by connecting the public with the proper authorities.

OLDS, Alta. — Many confrontations with energy companies could be avoided if people were told in advance about work that is planned for a community. “We want them to do more than leave a letter or a package on your doorstep,” said Tracey McCrimmon, executive director of the Sundre Petroleum Operators Group. SPOG has been working with landowners, municipalities and 26 energy companies in west-central Alberta for 25 years to keep lines of communication open before conflicts turn ugly. Past incidents have taught it that companies and individuals must talk. “We asked the companies to open up the lines of communication more and make sure all the neighbouring operators are aware of what they are doing,” she said. “The one thing people call over an issue, whether it is traffic or water or water wells, if you peel back the layers, it is one common denominator only and that is consultation and communication,” she said. “The issue could wear 100 different hats, but it always comes back to the communication.” The organization is developing a best practices document that can help companies work with a community.

WILDLIFE | PROJECT FEEDERWATCH

Conservationists need backyard bird watchers Program tracks bird numbers | Bird watchers count the number and kinds of birds at feeders and share it with the project BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The hobby of feeding birds in the backyard during winter can play a significant role in supporting bird conservation. To that end, Project FeederWatch begins Nov. 10 and runs until April 5. By sharing information about which birds visit feeders during this time, participants can help scientists at Bird Studies Canada and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology track changes in bird numbers and movements. With 70 years of watching and banding birds, Stuart Houston of Saskatoon says it’s never been more important than now to track the bird population. He began in 1943 at age 15 when Ducks Unlimited paid him 10 cents a bird to band each one he netted. “It’s more crucial because now we’ve got climate change thrown in and we’re seeing the effects of that,” he said. “It is even more so because there are more chemicals and because people are destroying grasslands. These grassland birds that are so rare are becoming less common every year. Each year people are breaking more land. Big machinery allows them (farmers) to destroy the trees on their farm and around their sloughs.” Houston and his wife, Mary, maintain several bird traps in their backyard. Mary holds the North American record for Bohemian waxwing banding at 5,340, including 80 in the spring of 2011 in her 60th year of banding birds. She also has the record of 44 for Bohemian band recoveries. Bird watchers who participate in Project FeederWatch count the number and kinds of birds at feeders and enter the information on the FeederWatch website or on printed forms. Last season, 2,565 Canadians and 13,000 Americans participated. Forty-seven people have signed up in Saskatchewan and 134 in Alberta this year. The Houstons have been involved

You can be sitting in a wheelchair in a condo with a feeding tray out on the porch. A few birds will come.… So this kind of effort is a beautiful, perfect tracking because people are watching all across North America.” Members choose a two-day count period every two weeks, watching the birds for as little as 15 minutes over that two day period. They are to record the highest number of each species observed during a single time.

Kerrie Wilcox, co-ordinator of Project FeederWatch at Long Point, Ont., said program participants play an important role in northern and Western Canada. “The more FeederWatch participants we can get, the better. Then we’ll have a better understanding of the ranges and movements of birds,” she said. The data will contribute to a major report about the state of Canada’s birds. “From there they can identify what birds need to be looked at in further detail, whether they’re declining or which birds are doing well,” she said. Houston agreed. “The big picture is that you follow the cycles and the declines and the increases,” he said.

Results from citizen science programs such as Project FeederWatch help research and conservation organizations monitor long-term population trends and changes. FeederWatch has shown a northward expansion in the ranges of some species, probably the result of changing climate and habitats. “We have new species coming into Saskatchewan like the Eurasian collared dove that stays in the winter,” Houston said. “It started in Florida and spread across North America in about 20 years. Now its reached the Pacific coast and it’s been here (in Saskatchewan) for a dozen years.” FeederWatch has also tracked the seasonal movements of irruptive species, which can experience sud-

den and rapid increases in population, and recorded the spread of avian illnesses. Canada experienced a mild winter in 2011-12, with little snow cover in much of the country. As a result, birds had access to lots of natural foods, which was a factor in fewer birds being seen at feeders. The $35 enrollment fee includes a Bird Studies Canada membership and four issues of BirdWatch Canada magazine. Participants will also receive a feeder bird poster, calendar, instructions and data booklet, birdfeeding handbook and the latest FeederWatch results.

Storm Sandy leaves livestock operations alone Plants temporarily closed | Extent of damage limited to closed access roads and some flooding CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — Poultry producer Perdue Farms Inc. shut four of its processing plants and a distribution centre in the northeastern United States last week as monster storm Sandy brought heavy flooding along the coastal communities of the Delmarva Peninsula. Perdue said it closed its the facilities Oct. 28 in preparation for the hurricane, which killed at least 82 people and left a wide swath of the eastern U.S. struggling with epic flooding and massive power outages. Perdue spokesperson Julie de

Young said two of the farmers who raise chickens for the company had experienced “extensive flooding” and many of the other farmers were relying on generators to power their operations and ventilation equipment for the chicken houses. However, the news appeared to be relatively positive, at least on the livestock side. Tyson Foods’ poultry processing facility in Temperanceville, Virginia, was closed briefly, said company spokesperson Worth Sparkman. No damage was reported at any of

Tyson’s facilities within reach of the storm, he said. Smithfield Foods opted to temporarily close its plant in Landover, Maryland, because of the storm. It didn’t say whether it experienced storm damage to its facilities. Cargill said it ran its beef processing plant in Wyalusing, Pennsylvania, Oct. 28 to produce extra product to supply its customers during the brunt of the storm, Cargill spokesperson Mike Martin said in an email. The company cut back the plant’s operating hours Oct. 29, and Martin

said the facility was back to normal operations by Oct. 30. However, he cautioned that “our response may be impacted by potential infrastructure damage to utilities, roads and other vital elements of the supply chain in the region.” Perdue Farms, which also had minor flooding at one of its plants, had expected to reopen its distribution centre by mid-week if the roadways were safe for drivers and employees to travel, de Young said. The Delmarva Peninsula, which includes parts of Delaware, Mary-

land and Virginia, is a hub for poultry production. About 15,000 people work in the chicken industry, from farmers raising birds to processing plant workers. “Right now there’s a travel restriction in Delaware,” de Young said Oct. 30. “We need to make sure everything ’s safe” before the centre reopens. Perdue has 2,116 poultry producers raising chickens and turkeys. It produced nearly 3.1 billion pounds of meat in 2010, according to the company’s website.

CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — Light rain, wind and snow from the remnants of Hurricane Sandy caused a brief slowdown in harvesting corn and soybeans in the eastern U.S. Midwest last week. Rain amounts of 12 millimetres with wind gusts to 50 km-h were expected in Indiana, Michigan and Ohio, said Kyle Tapley, meteorologist for MDA EarthSat Weather. He said colder temperatures were expected, with light snow in the eastern corn belt leaving five centimetres of snow in southwestern Ohio. He said the storm and harvest delays would be brief and followed by a turn back to dry weather, boosting harvest progress. Little, if any, harm is expected to crops from the fallout of the storm because farmers have been harvesting each crop at a record-fast pace. “Sandy is the big weather story, but it’s mainly a human life issue on the East Coast — no real impact on crops or harvest,” said John Dee, meteorologist for Global Weather Monitoring. Early seeding and the worst U.S. drought in more than 50 years pushed the plants to maturity, allowing for an early start and rapid harvest during an autumn of exceptional crop-gathering weather. Rich Nelson, chief strategist for Allendale Inc, estimated four million acres of corn remained to be gathered in the four eastern states of Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania affected by Hurricane Sandy. Based on U.S. Department of Agriculture data, the number of bushels left to be harvested in the four states totals 460 million, or 4.3 percent of an estimated U.S. production of 10.706 billion bu. USDA data shows 72 percent of the corn harvest complete in Indiana as of Oct. 21, 50 percent in Ohio, 58 percent in Pennsylvania and 48 percent in Michigan. The USDA data showed soybean harvest 69 percent complete in Indiana, 63 percent in Ohio and 77 percent in Michigan. Allendale projects corn harvest at 79 percent complete in Indiana as of Oct. 28, 59 percent in Michigan, 60 percent in Ohio and 67 percent in Pennsylvania, according to Nelson.

SYDNEY/CANBERRA (Reuters) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Australia risks losing an opportunity to become a farmyard for Asia as growing unease over foreign ownership of rural land threatens to provoke protectionist policies that may deter investment in agriculture. With its vast landmass, abundant natural resources and stable government, Australia has relied on foreign farm investments for more than 100 years. Interest is now set to grow as the world looks to dramatically boost food production to feed Asiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s booming middle class over the next 40 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we are going to see a continued interest. The soft commodities boom around the world and the demand for food will continue to drive that interest,â&#x20AC;? said Jock Laurie, head of the National Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Federation. The latest wave of interest in Australian agriculture has seen a number of high-profile deals involving Chinese investors, including the purchase of the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest cotton farm, as well as foreign takeovers in its deregulated wheat industry. U.S firm Archer Daniels Midland is bidding $2.8 billion for Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dominant grain handling company, GrainCorp. However, the growing interest has ignited a political debate and raised the risk of tighter foreign investment rules in a country generally seen as more open to investment than farming rivals Canada and New Zealand. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know foreign investment is important to Australia, but we need to make sure weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not selling the cow along with the milk,â&#x20AC;? said independent senator Nick Xenophon. The issue is a sensitive one in mostly conservative rural communities, particularly for a government struggling in opinion polls and facing elections in late 2013. A poll by the Lowy Institute thinktank this year found that four out of five Australians opposed the government allowing foreign companies to buy Australian farmland. Sixty-three percent were â&#x20AC;&#x153;strongly againstâ&#x20AC;? such sales. Most sales of Australian farms to foreigners are unregulated and unrecorded. The Foreign Investment Review Board examines only the largest farm deals â&#x20AC;&#x201D; purchases of at least 15 percent of properties worth more than $252 million. The boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s national interest test has also been criticized as too vague and lacking in transparency. The rules mean foreign investment is assumed to be in the national interest unless the FIRB finds otherwise. Foreign investment rejections are rare. In the 2010-11 financial year, FIRB considered 10,293 investment deals and rejected 43, with 42 of those suburban real estate purchases. It approved 5,687 investments with conditions. In Canada, foreign investors need to prove there is a â&#x20AC;&#x153;net benefitâ&#x20AC;? to Canada for any investment more than $332 million, and the industry minister has broad leeway to interpret the rules. New Zealand reviews all foreign acquisitions of farmland that are more than 12 acres.

farms to a new generation. The conservative opposition, which is expected to win the next election, wants the farm threshold for foreign investment scrutiny lowered to $15 million and wants the FIRB to have one member with farm expertise. The government, reliant on Greens and independents to hold power, has so far been reluctant to make significant changes, conscious of the need to attract foreign investors to help build its farming sector. Instead, prime minister Julia Gillard has agreed to set up a registry of

foreign ownership of farm lands in a move designed to appease public unease without unsettling investment flows. However, the political noise surrounding foreign farm investments continues, with the leader of the rural-based National Party, Warren Truss, criticizing the ADM bid for GrainCorp. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are rapidly descending into a state where farmers will toil in their paddocks while post-farm gate profits from Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $9 billion a year grain crops will be counted in multi-

national boardrooms,â&#x20AC;? said Truss, who would become deputy prime minister under a conservative government. Ian Smith of corporate advisory firm Bespoke Approach, which has helped Chinese investors tip-toe through the FIRB processes, said he did not believe the new registry signalled a tightening of foreign investment rules. Foreign investors need to make sure they highlight benefits to local communities and jobs from any deals, he said.

Unbelievable yields. While every farmer dreams of amazing yields, not all realize the fertilizer they use is responsible for up to 40 percent of yield.

Sask. dairy team member nabs top ribbons at Westerner BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

RED DEER, Alta. — Nadine Crosbie started seriously showing dairy cattle about four years ago and has proved to be a natural after winning all the big awards at the recent Westerner Dairy Showcase in Red Deer. Enrolled in the University of Sask-

atchewan’s animal science program, Crosbie is a member of a 10 person dairy team that allows her to expand her interest in the business beyond what her university program offers. She made the trip to Red Deer with three other team members and won grand champion showman and grand champion overall with a sum-

mer yearling from her family’s farm at Caron, Sask., where they milk 130 cows. “I started in kinesiology, but I wanted to stay in agriculture,” she said. She is now in her second year. “I would like to stay in the industry if possible.” As a dairy team member, she has helped organize student tours of

farms and is working with the university to plan a dairy day to show producers what the industry has to offer. There are few 4-H dairy clubs on the Prairies, so events like the Red Deer show offer young people a chance to meet and compete. Judge Linsey Whalen said Crosbie was a flawless showman who led her cattle in one fluid motion. Whalen

also said her teammate, Danielle Saelman of Saskatoon, was nearly as perfect and awarded her the reserve ribbon. The show had more than 75 entries with the grand champion going to Crosbie and reserve to Melissa Dryayk of Mara, B.C., with a senior heifer calf. Vicky Friesen of Drake, Sask., received honourable mention.

Ukraine won’t implement the wheat export ban scheduled for Nov. 15. | FILE PHOTO

U.S. WHEAT

Softer stand on ban

Shortage hikes price

KIEV, Ukraine (Reuters) — Ukraine’s agriculture ministry has softened its position on a wheat export ban, saying it will consider all necessary measures if the country’s wheat stocks fall to a critical level. Recently, agriculture minister Mykola Prysyazhnyuk said Ukraine would ban wheat exports beginning Nov.15 due to a high pace of wheat exports and a poor harvest, but his deputy said last week that the imminent move was not on the agenda. “We will apply the necessary measures if a critical shortage of food grain appears,” Interfax Ukraine news agency quoted Ivan Bisyuk as saying. “At the present moment we see no critical state with food grains.”

CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — Growing export demand helped reverse what had been a historic price difference between hard red spring wheat with 15 percent protein and the lower grades, trade sources said. The biggest U.S. spring wheat crop in two years and the second straight year with above-average protein content led to an “inversion” in the closely watched protein scales at the Minneapolis Grain Exchange, the only place in the United States where spring wheat futures are traded. “It’s the same old story, whatever is not available is worth the most. Typically protein is not available and it commands the premium. This

Prices for high protein wheat may not be as high as usual. | FILE PHOTO year, it’s no secret that we’re high wheat protein,” said Tim Emslie, research manager at CHS Hedging Inc. in St. Paul, Minnesota. This year’s U.S. crop, grown primarily in the northern states, averaged 16.6 percent protein, equal with the average protein in last year’s crop, which was the most in five years, according to the U.S. Wheat Associates.

Depending on environmental and agronomic conditions, growers planting Pioneer Protector Sclerotinia resistant hybrids may still require a fungicide application to manage sclerotinia in their crop.

SINGAPORE (Reuters) — Asian feed grain buyers will face higher costs as supplies from South America dwindle and a devastating drought curbs yields across the U.S. grain belt. The prices of South American cargoes being offered in Asia for January and February shipment have started inching closer to the U.S. values, leaving the buyers with little choice but to pay more. A rebound in U.S. corn demand could buoy the benchmark Chicago futures, which have fallen for three straight months as importers shunned expensive grains after prices surged to a record high of $8.49 US a bushel in August. “Right now, the Chicago market is beaten down as week after week we have seen reports showing poor U.S. exports,” said a senior trader at an international trading company in Singapore. “As soon as you see buyers are turning to U.S. supply, the prices will rally.” The U.S. Department of Agriculture said recently that corn export sales stood at 142,400 tonnes, below estimates for 150,000 to 250,000. Soybean sales also were lower than expected at 522,200, versus estimates of 650,000 to 850,000 tonnes.

Budget compromise draws fire

Aussie wheat scores low in protein

BRUSSELS, Belgium (Reuters) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A compromise proposal on the European Unionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long-term budget, cutting more than $64.5 billion from the original blueprint, has run into criticism from governments on both sides of the spending debate. The plan by the EUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cypriot presidency recommended the deepest cuts to infrastructure spending in the poorest member states to reduce the total bill, with a less drastic reduction in farm subsidies. The document will form the basis of negotiations to seek a deal on the seven-year budget for 2014-20 in time for what promises to be a marathon summit of EU leaders on Nov. 22-23. It angered both richer western states keen to minimize their contributions as they struggle to reduce national debt in the shadow of the euro zone crisis and eastern newcomers that rely heavily on EU funds for their future economic development.

Asiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top buyers, who rely on Australia for the bulk of their milling wheat supplies, may be forced to import larger volumes of high-protein spring wheat from the United States and Canada, supporting global prices. U.S. wheat futures have already climbed more than 30 percent this year as a devastating drought across the U.S. grain belt curbed yields and dryness hurt crops in Russia and Ukraine.

India, China urged to look at new suppliers SINGAPORE (Reuters) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest edible oil buyers, China and India, should reduce import tariffs to spur demand for eco-friendly palm oil, according to the industry body Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO). The RSPO brings together plantation firms, consumers and green groups to promote the supply of palm oil produced from estates that do not harm wildlife or cut forests to expand. Uptake of the more expensive green palm oil has been dominated by the European Union, while pricesensitive India and China with their billion-plus populations have been slow to change over to more environmentally friendly sources, said RSPO president Jan-Kees Vis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You would only need to shave a tiny proportion from the import tariff in order to make CSPO (certified sustainable palm oil) competitive with non-certified palm oil,â&#x20AC;? said Vis .

PALM OIL FACTS â&#x20AC;˘ Palm oil is derived from the flesh of the fruit of the oil palm species E. Guineensis. â&#x20AC;˘ In its virgin form, the oil is bright orange-red due to the high content of carotene. â&#x20AC;˘ Palm oil (and its products) has good resistance to oxidation and heat at prolonged elevated temperatures, making it a good ingredient in frying oil blends. â&#x20AC;˘ Products fried in palm oil include potato chips, french fries, doughnuts, ramen noodles and nuts.

Akron 180T 9 FT Grain Extractor The AKRON Grain Bag Storage System is now complete with the AKRON E 180 TH. By using an exclusive - patented - system the AKRON E 180 TH will roll up the bag while retrieving grain from it and preventing grain spilling. Unloading operation begins when fixing one end of the Bag around the AKRON E 180 TH roller, to start unloading. Once the bag has been fixed and the roller speed adjusted, the AKRON E 180 TH is ready to start unloading. Thanks to its exclusive - patented - design, the AKRON E 180 TH will automatically perform with minimum operatorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s monitoring. Unloading operation requires a 75 hp tractor. The AKRON E 180 TH will retrieve the grain from the bag at about 5000/6500 bushels (180 metric tons.) per hour. Disclaimer: All items FOB Humboldt, SK.

HOG PRODUCTION | EUROPEAN UNION

Sow stall ban to hit EU farmers like ‘shock wave’ Ban takes effect Jan. 1 | Move expected to increase pork prices and force some producers out of the business PA R I S , F r a n c e ( R e u t e r s ) — Europe’s pregnant pigs may be happier next year, but pork eaters will pay more and some breeders will go out of business as new welfare rules come into effect. Sow stalls are to be banned Jan. 1 across the European Union, 11 years after the bloc’s lawmakers first approved the ban. While animal rights groups welcome the move, the cost of applying the ban is expected to force more farmers out of the sector, leading to lower production and higher prices for Europe’s wurst, chorizo and prosciutto. “We are at the beginning of a shock wave,” said Jean-Michel Serres, chair of the French hog producers group FNP. “It will have a significant impact on pork prices and pose problems for the industry,” he said. Serres estimated the ban will add $840 per sow to the costs of producing pigs in a sector where many farmers are already losing money or breaking even. EU farmers produced a record 22.7 million tonnes of pork in 2010, which is more than 20 percent of the world’s total production. That was twice the volume of the United States, but still far behind China’s output of 51 million. A new EU ban on layers’ cages

doubled egg prices in some countries earlier this year. The rise in pork prices is unlikely to be as steep because the sector has more capacity to absorb cost increases through its processing chain. As well, consumers can easily turn to other meat such as poultry. However, industry players said they would seek to secure at least some of the 10 percent rise in prices they estimate would preserve their existing shaky margins. Farmers use sow stalls in intensive pig farming to help with often fraught feeding times and deal with aggression such as ear-biting. But animal welfare campaigners say sows suffer psychologically from being separated from other animals and are hit by ailments such as lameness. At a recent meeting of farm and industry officials, the European Commission forecast that three to four percent of pig breeders would halt production next year, two sources at the talks said. EU pig production would in turn fall five percent over the next three years because of the sow stall ban: one percent this year, three percent in 2013 and one percent in 2014. Some farmers have already been

$840 THE ESTIMATED ADDITIONAL COST PER SOW PRODUCERS COULD INCUR ONCE EUROPE’S STALL BAN TAKES EFFECT forced out of the sector because of this year’s surge in the price of grain, which accounts for 30 percent of total costs, after severe droughts in the United States and the Black Sea regions. The impact of the ban will differ widely by country. Britain, Sweden and Luxembourg have already banned the stalls. Britain, which put its ban in place in 1999, saw a 40 percent fall in its herd over the last decade because its farmers were unable to compete with countries that did not use such stalls. Production has finally started to recover this year. However, production is expected to be hit hard in Germany, the EU’s largest pork producer with a market share of 25 percent in 2010. “It is still unclear how many will give in, but a double-digit percentage fall in German production cannot be ruled out,” said Michael Lohse of the

German farmers association DBV. Spain, where production is expected to grow by five to 10 percent this year thanks to investments in slaughter houses, could see a smaller decline of five percent, said Miquel Angel Berges of the agricultural exchange Mercolleida. In France, FNP expects one in 10 breeders to quit the sector, leading to an overall drop of six to seven percent in pork production on top of a three percent fall seen this year. EU breeders have been hurrying to adapt their farms in the run-up to the ban, but the commission expects only 17 of the 27 member states to fully comply by year-end, leaving more than a third of the bloc behind schedule despite the 11-year notice. Farmers in Germany and Spain are nearly ready but only 50 percent of French farmers had complied by this summer, FNP said. Some breeders

will not even try to comply. The full extent of the sow stall ban will be felt months after it comes into effect, when all the piglets born before the move have been slaughtered. “We are bound to raise our prices.... Today we already need a 10 percent increase just to keep our margins, and it will be worse next year, but we need to convince retailers,” said Robert Volut, head of the EU meat processing industry body CLITRAVI. The industry also needs to prepare for other animal welfare measures, such as those tested on a Dutch farm run by the University of Wageningen. Fattening pigs are kept in an open space with dedicated areas: one for playing, one for eating, one for sleeping and one that serves as a toilet. Such measures will inevitably add further costs to the production process, but even those involved in such projects acknowledged there is a limit to how much of a premium consumers are prepared to pay for animal welfare. “Animal welfare costs,” said Daniel Somers, manager of the Dutch farm being used for the tests. “All consumers say they want improvement of animal welfare. When they go to the supermarket, they buy the cheapest meat.”

AUSTRALIA | LAND REGISTRY

Foreign land ownership concerns prompt registry Investment transparency | The National Farmers’ Federation says registry offers insight into motives behind investments CANBERRA, Australia (Reuters) — Australia plans to set up a foreignownership register for farmland as the government moves to ease public concern over foreign buyers in the agriculture sector, particularly Chinese. The announcement comes as foreign investors increasingly target Australian agricultural assets to tap booming global demand for food, sparking a political debate and concerns Australia is selling off its future food security. The latest interest in Australia’s agriculture sector came from U.S.

agriculture giant Archer Daniels Midland, which has proposed taking over Australian grains handler GrainCorp for $2.8 billion. In August, Australia approved Chinese textile group Shandong Ruyi’s purchase of Cubbie Station, which covers 1,000 sq. kilometres of southwestern Queensland, sparking a new debate about levels of Chinese investment in Australian farms. Another Chinese company, Shanghai Zhongfu Group, is bidding for a 150 sq. km farming project in Kimberley, Western Australia, with plans

to develop agricultural business. Prime minister Julia Gillard told a national farm conference that foreign investment is important for the country’s farm sector, which exports $30 billion worth of food each year and is a major global supplier of wheat and beef. Australia is targeting more food exports to the booming Asian markets, particularly China and India. “The register will provide the community with a more comprehensive picture of the specific size and locations of foreign agricultural landholdings over and above what is cur-

rently available,” Gillard said. The United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization has said global food production will need to increase 70 percent by 2050 to meet demand. Foreign investment has been a key part of Australian agriculture for more than 100 years, but official data on foreign ownership is patchy. Only one state holds a register and small purchases by private investors are not subject to national foreign investment approvals. Gillard said existing data showed foreign investment in agriculture,

fisheries and forestry account for just 0.1 percent of foreign investment in Australia. She said 89 percent of farmland was wholly Australian owned, and a further six percent was majority Australian owned, which was similar to ownership levels 30 years ago. The National Farmers’ Federation said the ownership register was crucial for Australia. “We do want to see greater transparenc y around investment to ensure that the motivations behind this investment are clear,” federation president Jock Laurie said.

Agrium hikes dividends to shareholders CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) —Agrium plans to double its annual dividend, marking the third increase to the payout in less than a year. The move, announced as the company completed a $900 million US share buy-back, comes amid pressure from its largest shareholder, Jana Partners LLC, which wants Agrium to explore options to boost shareholder value. Jana has been pushing for a split of the fertilizer company’s wholesale and retail division, but Agrium has stood its ground, arguing that its integrated business model benefits shareholders. “It’s definitely a positive,” Lazard Capital Markets analyst Edlain Rodriguez said of the dividend increase. “I think Agrium recognized that it has to return more cash to shareholders, and to us this is just the beginning of it.” Agrium is a major producer of nitrogen fertilizer but also produces potash and phosphate. It is a major player in Canada and also owns the biggest network of farm retail stores in the United States. The Jana hedge fund, which owns four percent of the company, also wants Agrium to improve disclosure, reduce operating costs and working capital and address corporate costs. “The increased dividend and $900 million substantial issuer bid are an indication of our confidence that our integrated business model will continue to deliver strong results for the benefit of shareholders,” said Agrium chief executive officer Mike Wilson. Agrium said it intends to double its dividend to $2 a share on an annualized basis and move to a quarterly payment schedule from a semiannual payout, as of the next scheduled dividend payout in January. The move gives Agrium a dividend yield of 1.9 percent, comparing its annual dividend against its closing stock price Oct. 26. That is just behind Potash Corp but ahead of other North American fertilizer peers. Agrium said it bought back 8.72 million shares for $103 a share as part of its repurchase plan.

GRAIN COMPANIES | CONSOLIDATION

Grain industry consolidation worries experts Consumers, producers said at risk | Indonesia’s deputy agriculture minister worries about too much power in hands of sellers LONDON, U.K . (Reuters) — A global race for grain trading power is putting more of the world’s vital cereals in the hands of fewer companies. A string of recent acquisitions has raised fears that consumers will pay even more for their food, while farmers are squeezed. Archer Daniels Midland recently bid for Australia’s last independent grain handler, GrainCorp, the latest in a series of moves by grain trading heavyweights to grab a larger slice of a booming market as developing economies seek food security.

The four ABCD firms — ADM, Bunge, Cargill and Louis Dreyfus — dominate global grain trading along with top global commodities trader Glencore and Japan’s Marubeni, both of which have made major acquisitions in the last few months. With food price volatility increasingly coming to the fore, most recently in the wake of drought in the United States and other key producing regions, concern is growing among importers about extra upward pressure on prices. “The increasing concentration of

power in the global grain market is not healthy. This will lead to grain prices being controlled by top trading companies,” said Rusman Heriawan, deputy agriculture minister of Indonesia, Asia’s top wheat importer. The United Nations sounded alarm bells on market volatility this summer as corn prices surged 40 percent in less than a month. Soybeans hit record highs, while wheat also shot up dramatically, reviving memories of the 2007-08 food crisis. “So-called grain majors account for about 75 percent of the global grain

market. If they keep on merging with other grain companies, there is the possibility of a monopolistic situation,” said Han Sukho of the Korea Rural Economic Institute’s grains division. “This will make things difficult for importing countries like South Korea. We might have to pay more than what things actually cost,” said the assistant director of the state-run think-tank. South Korea is a major importer of wheat and corn. After a doubling in quarterly profits

helped by the impact of drought on the grain trade, Bunge chair Alberto Weisser said he expected industry consolidation to continue. “I do believe that we will have more consolidation because the market has shown that it is necessary to have large companies” with geographically diverse assets and strong balance sheets “to operate and serve the market in these volatile times,” he said. “We are part of it.” Lee Gaus, vice-president of International Futures Group, said consolidation will bring benefits to grain trading companies, which will have more flexibility from expanded networks. However, consumers will feel the impact if importers and supermarkets are subject to higher prices as the flexibility of supply reduces. “There are efficiencies that are gained when you have this kind of consolidation. But, on the other hand, there’s a danger in a situation where you have more and more controlled by fewer and fewer,” he said. “Ultimately this hurts the consumer. I don’t know any time that you can concentrate so much leverage in so few hands that it doesn’t eventually impact the consumer.” Gaus also saw the consolidation as a threat to producers, who are faced with fewer potential buyers for their crops. That means they might be forced to accept lower prices for their produce. Farmers often depend on grain trading companies for their seed and fertilizers as well as providing a buyer for their crops. “It (grain market consolidation) has a negative impact, both on the many producers that feed into this very small number of traders and on the other end on their customers and ultimately consumers,” said Jodie Thorpe, policy adviser for Oxfam. ADM, through the acquisition of GrainCorp, will join Cargill and G l e n c o re, b o t h o f w h o m hav e already made major acquisitions in the world’s second largest wheat exporter. “If GrainCorp is swallowed up by U.S. giant Archer Daniels Midland, all bulk grain exporting capacity in South Australia, Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland will be foreign owned,” said Warren Truss, leader of Australia’s opposition National Party. “We are rapidly descending into a state where farmers will toil in their paddocks while post-farmgate profits from Australia’s $9 billion-a-year grain crops will be counted in multinational boardrooms,” he added. Australia is a key exporter of wheat to China, where demand is expected to rise sharply in coming years. “Such consolidation would result in lower prices for Australian farmers if those farmers are not big enough to compete,” said Zhong Funing, director of Nanjing Agricultural University’s International Research Centre for Food and Agricultural Economics. “China could also lose its access to relatively cheap Australian wheat. China’s grain imports are definitely on the rise. There is limited scope for expanding the farmland while demand growth is coming largely from the livestock industry.”

GRAIN FORECAST | GLOBAL PRODUCTION

Global corn, wheat production forecast lowered Supplies tighten | Grain stocks at the end of 2012-13 are expected to sink to their lowest level in five years LONDON, U.K. (Reuters) — The International Grains Council has cut its forecast for global corn and wheat crops in 2012-13. The move further tightens supplies with grain stocks at the end of the season seen sinking to a five-year low. “Inventories (of grain) for the major exporters will be even tighter and the smallest for 17 years,” the grains council said in a monthly market report. The council cut its forecast for total grain stocks at the end of the 2012-13 season by four million tonnes to 328 million, now representing a fall of 44 million tonnes, or 12 percent from year-earlier levels. “Reduced availabilities and higher prices are expected to ration demand, resulting in the first year-onyear fall in grains consumption since 1998-1999,” the council said. It cut its forecast for the global corn crop in 2012-13 by three million tonnes to 830 million tonnes, mainly reflecting lower estimates for the

The council also cut its forecast for the global wheat crop in 2012-13 by two million tonnes to 655 million, with the production outlook downgraded for the European Union, Kazakhstan, Argentina and Australia. A severe drought in the U.S. has contributed to a sharp fall in global corn production this season from the record 876 million tonnes harvested in 2011-12. The U.S. corn crop was seen at 272.0 million tonnes, down from a previ-

ous estimate of 275.0 million tonnes and well below the previous season’s 313.9 million tonnes. The council also cut its forecast for the corn crop in Ukraine to 19 million tonnes from 20 million tonnes. “Northern hemisphere production prospects have mostly worsened,” the council report said. “Although sowing is slightly delayed, the outlook for South American crops remain mostly favourable.” The council’s forecast for Argentina’s corn crop was raised by one mil-

lion tonnes to 26 million tonnes while the projection for Brazil was kept at 72 million tonnes. Global corn consumption in 2012-

13 was lowered by one million tonnes to 848 million tonnes, down from the previous season’s 872 million tonnes. “Despite a forecast three percent contraction in demand, the stocks outlook has tightened further,” the report said. “End season inventories in the major exporters could shrink by almost one quarter.” The council also cut its global wheat crop forecast in 2012-13 by two million tonnes to 655 million tonnes. “Lower yields in the EU and Kazakhstan, as well as deteriorating prospects in Argentina and Australia, reduced the forecast for world (wheat) production,” the council said.

Electric drive tractors on horizon? Diesel-electric hybrid | If it works for locomotives and mining equipment, it might work in a high horsepower farm tractor BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

FARGO, N.D. — Farmers were skeptical but hopeful when the diesel-electric autonomous tractor debuted this fall. “Can this thing really pull my air drill?” was a common question.

Diesel-electric has been powering the 60,000 pound, 235 horsepower Caterpillar D7E dozer for the past five years. Ed Zwilling, head of the advanced drive train team at Cat and the man in charge of designing the hybrid dozer’s power train, said diesel-electric has advantages.

A big one is 60 percent fewer parts, which simplifies manufacturing and maintenance. “We expect the D7E drive train to have a 50 percent longer life than the D7R it replaces, plus it has better performance than the D7R,” he said. “Our goal when we started this project was 10 to 30 percent less

fuel consumption along with 25 percent more work performed from each unit of fuel that is consumed. Our customers since 2009 tell us they’re getting better numbers than that.” Cat has built diesel generator sets for decades. The C9 diesel engine spins a 480 volt AC generator, and the

To test the integrity of the sealed electrical system, Cat had a number of prototype D7E dozers working in the ocean doing beach reclamation work. The salt water did not affect the electrical systems. | CATERPILLAR PHOTOS FAR RIGHT: A simple generator and electric motors replace the complex, gear driven transmission. The cabs swing away for service. RIGHT: Cat’s regular C9 engine spins a 480 volt AC generator. After conversion to 650 volts DC the power flows to a pair of electric motors. The motors then feed controlled power into Cat’s conventional differential steering system.

power is converted to 650 volts DC, a common voltage level in the industr y. The generator and electric motors are designed by Cat. Electricity flows to a solid state inverter that sends power to the final drive system. The final drive consists of two electric motors feeding into a common mechanical gearing unit that powers the differential steering system. The two motors behave as if they are one. Unlike train locomotives or the Spirit Autonomous Tractor that appeared in North Dakota last month, the D7E uses mechanical differential gearing to transfer torque from electric motors to the ground. The D7E does not use electric motors to drive the tracks directly. Instead, power is transferred mechanically via axles to the left and right, double-reduction final drives. The electric motors serve as an interface between the output of the diesel crankshaft and the input shaft of the differential steering system. “We kept the differential steering system. Because of the high torque loads, I don’t think you could use direct drive from electric motors in a tractor like this,” Zwilling said. “If you look at heavy duty electric drive mining and industrial machines, they all run the power through gears.” He said Cat customers also say they are accustomed to the feel of the differential steer system and want the same feel in any new drive system. Zwilling said safety was one of the chief design requirements in the new tractor, considering that 650 volts are surging just below the operator’s seat. Current flows through special armoured cables and military grade connectors to help guarantee the operator’s safety. “We know our dozers often work in fairly deep water, so every connection is water tight,” he said. “During the development, we had these machines working in the ocean doing beach front reclamation. Every component was running in salt water, working long hours without a problem.” The D7E is not a pure diesel-elec-

tric system, but routing power through the electric motors provides smooth, infinitely variable force at the tracks and eliminates the need for a transmission. There are no gears or shifting tricks that new operators need to learn. The D7E does not use hydraulic pumps or hydraulic motors to move power. The abundance of electricity means no belts or gear drives are used for the air conditioning, heating, water pumps and battery charger. The electrical system runs all ancillaries. Engineers know that powering equipment with electricity eliminates the hydraulic oil, filters and heat exchangers associated with mechanical and hydraulic drive. It’s also more convenient. If it’s necessary to drive a motor or activate a lever, simply route a wire. Electricity is easier to regulate than hydraulic and mechanical power to meet power demands of the job. It also reduces noise and vibration. The cab on the D7E is 50 percent quieter than the previous D7R. However, the factor that may be more significant is that a smooth electric motor is gentler on all the mechanical components in the drive system because there are no sudden power surges, power gaps or clunks. Caterpillar says electric drive simplifies operator training and makes life easier on veteran drivers because much of the lurching is gone. It’s easier to operate because the best torque is in the electric motor’s lower r.p.m. range. In the conventional D7R, the C9 engine stretched from 1,600 to 2,200 r.p.m. to cope with torque and r.p.m. demands of the tractor. However, when coupled to a generator, the same engine operates in the comfortably narrow working band of 1,500 to 1,800 r.p.m., where it is most efficient. Because drive speed and torque are now precisely controlled by the electric motor, the diesel doesn’t need to drop down to low lugging r.p.m. or wind up to higher r.p.m. Serviceability is another factor. Tractors that rack up big hours on the shop clock obviously spend less time on the work site. The cab tilts up and out of the way to the right side of the machine, giving technicians easy access. Zwilling said Cat is evaluating other machines with diesel-electric drive train possibilities. The drive train should have a good fit in many other types of tractors if it can stand up to the rigors of dozer work. When asked if Cat will introduce a diesel/electric Challenger in the near future, Zwilling said the company’s diesel/electric system is now a proven technology. “I’m not at liberty to talk about our transmission strategy,” he added. “I can only say that we continue to work with Agco and their group in the transmission area.”

Syngenta enters canola market with branded seed New hybrid | Company plans to have SY4135 canola available to growers next fall market with anything but the best product we could get,” he said. Syngenta is best known in Western Canada for it pesticide products, but in Eastern Canada its NK brand soybeans, corn and sunflowers are major players. More recently, the company has offered wheat varieties : SY985, which will be available for 2013, is a Canada Prairie Spring red milling wheat, while WR859 CL , an imidazolinone tolerant hard red spring, has been marketed through Richardson International for two seasons.

Syngenta Canada is joining the hybrid canola market with its own seed. SY4135 will be the first canola that the company offers but it won’t be the last, says Duane Johnson, the company’s head of operations for Western Canada. Johnson said Syngenta obtained the genetics from outside breeders, selecting the best genetics in the marketplace. “We wouldn’t be starting out in this

The company has also marketed a few of its wheat varieties through Viterra under that company’s Proven brand. As well, it sells 16 wheat varieties in the U.S. Great Plains. Johnson said the Swiss company offers oil-rape in other parts of the world, which is a canola quality rapeseed. “We will be adding to the list (of seed products) for Western Canada as time goes on,” he said. The new canola fits into Syngenta’s vertical products strategy, which pairs genetics with crop enhance-

ment and protection products. The strategy, which the company has been executing globally for the past year, includes seed treatments, inoculants, herbicides, fungicides and insecticides that are designed to be best used in concert with selected crop genetics, allowing for more efficient marketing and higher yields. “We will be selling (the Syngenta b ra n d e d c a n o l a ) t h ro u g h o u r partners across the country,” said Johnson. The Roundup Ready variety is expected to be available next fall for the 2014 season.

Storti makes a self-propelled combination bunk facing, feed loading and twin screw ration mixer that can drive up to 35 km-h in its high-speed version. Reto Ammann of Storti was in Canada to show off the machine at the Outdoor Farm Show in Woodstock, Ont., earlier this fall. The green machine with the sleekly curved cab drew a lot attention at the show. Ammann said two Ontario farms are using the new machines: a beef feeder near Sarnia and a larger dairy operation. “It replaces a wheel loader, a mixing w a g o n a n d a t ra c t o r w i t h o n e machine,” he said. The units cost $150,000 to $250,000, depending on capacity and options. “It’s more than just replacing machines and having to climb on and off of units,” he said. “It is also about smart loading with the Doberman measuring your silage as you fill. The wheel loader is always an estimate of the ration. This is exact.” The silage loader arm can cut from the ground, up to five metres high on the face of a large silage bunk. The Rexroth pump driven loader can cut while moving up or down. The knives on the loader drum feed an 80 centimetre wide conveyor belt. A special hopper can be accessed electronically from the cab to add small quantities of concentrates or other products to the load.

Moisture levels can be evaluated on the go and an optional dry matter content analyzer can provide ration control while the operator remains in the cab. Ammann said those tools could save producers money on feed costs and reduce the “guess work that accompanies most feeding situations.” The machine creates feeding reports that can be transferred to an office computer. The Doberman can push feed out from either side, and an optional feed conveyor with greater reach is available. He said the beef feeder in Sarnia calculated the costs of his pull-type TMR mixer and wheel loader at $112 per operating hour. The self-propelled, all-in-one unit works out to $80 per hour and reduced the time spent feeding by 30 percent. Terpstra said it also means one fewer machine needs to be kept warm in the winter. “It keeps hours off of tractors and loaders that sit idling,” he said. “For some producers this is the right fit.”

FARMFAIR | ALPACAS

Two-year-old Genesis crowned male champion Third win since June | Participation in shows and competitions increases exposure for 70 head alpaca farm at Lloydminster, Sask. STORY AND PHOTOS BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

EDMONTON — There’s something in the air tonight for Genesis. That’s TnC Genesis Next Generation, a 21-month old alpaca named after a 1970s musical group. Genesis won supreme champion male at the Alpaca Odyssey Show at Farmfair International in Edmonton Nov. 4. A fleece from Genesis won supreme champion in an international fleece competition at the same show. “He’s a very elite alpaca,” said owner Trudy McCall of Lloydminster, Sask. Farmfair runs in Edmonton from Nov. 4-12. It’s the third time since June that Genesis’ bag of fleece has won supreme champion at competitions in Ontario, Saskatchewan and Alberta. Travelling to halter shows and fleece competitions is just one of the ways McCall and her business partner, Cathy Merkley, market the alpaca products from the 70 head of alpaca on their farm. “It’s a good marketing tool.” They also sell a range of alpaca products from their store, The Alpaca Loft, where they also offer classes on spinning, weaving, felting and dying. McCall said when they first started they sold a lot of finished products from their store, but with a resurgence of interest in fibre arts, customers buy a lot of fibre they can spin or knit themselves. “A lot of young people are getting into crocheting and knitting. It’s becoming very popular with older teenagers,” she said. The interest in fibre crafts in the middle of oil country is also a nice surprise, she said. The alpaca industry was hit hard by the BSE scare of 2003. The borders to the lucrative U.S. market closed and the interest alpacas waned. McCall said interest is increasing again, especially with acreage owners who want small animals. Karen Jarvis of KJ Alpacas, one of the show organizers, said while the numbers of alpacas at the show is down from last year; the quality of animals has increased in recent years. “Our quality is better than we’ve ever had, but we need more people in the industry,” said Jarvis of Innisfail, Alta. Without more breeders there won’t be a viable fleece industry that will encourage more people to buy alpacas. “Our animals tend to be owned by older, retired people who like them. It’s an easy livestock to handle,” said Jarvis. In Alberta there are about 300 alpaca breeders. Lauraine Bijou owns Alpaca Rose Alpacas and has been coming to the shows at Northlands since they began. For Bijou, the alpaca shows are an important part of their farms

marketing. “It definitely helps promote the industry,” said Bijou of Morinville, Alta., who travels across Western Canada to alpaca shows to promote her animals and on-farm business. Bijou sells socks, yarn, duvets and fleeces from her farm store. Like oth-

ers, Bijou said there is a growing interest in alpacas, especially from small acreage owners. “We’ve always just loved the alpacas. They the nicest animals to work with and they are easy keepers and you get a beautiful fleece and they’re a joy to be around.”

FOOD PRODUCTION | GASES

More work needed to lower climate change emissions OSLO, Norway (Reuters) — Food production accounts for up to 29 percent of man-made greenhouse gases, twice the amount that the United Nations has estimated, says a study published late last month. The agriculture research organization CGIAR looked at emissions across the food system, including forest clearance, fertilizer production and transport, rather than just farming. It said more work is needed to reduce climate change emissions from food. The report, Climate Change and Food Systems, estimated food production was responsible for 19 to 29 percent of mankind’s total greenhouse emissions, much higher than the UN’s estimates of 14 percent based on a narrower definition of farming. “From a food point of view, (the UN approach) doesn’t make sense,” said Bruce Campbell, who heads the CGIAR research program on climate change, agriculture and food security. Many countries could make big cost savings by cutting emissions, he said. “There are good economic reasons to improve efficiency in agriculture, not just to cut greenhouse gas emissions.” For example, China could sharply reduce emissions with more efficient manufacture of fertilizers. Britain could cut emissions by consuming lamb transported from more efficient farms in New Zealand rather than raising its own sheep. Global changes in diet, mainly shifting toward vegetarianism from meat, would also help. Growing crops to feed cows, pigs and sheep takes up far more land and emits more greenhouse gases than producing crops for human consumption. A separate CGIAR report indicated that climate change is likely to reduce yields of the three biggest crops judged by calorie production — corn, wheat and rice — in developing nations in coming decades. That could force some farmers to grow more heat, flood and drought-tolerant crops.

Red Angus takes top title at show Stockade Round Up | Greenwood Limousin, Vikse Family Farm win grand championship titles STORIES BY JUSTINA CONTENTI FREELANCE WRITER

LLOYDMINSTER — A Limousin heifer and a Red Angus bull rose to the top at last weekend’s Lloydminster Stockade Round Up, taking home the supreme champion titles. The animals were among more than 200 purebred entries at the annual cattle show. Grandfather and grandson duo Bernard and Jayden Payne co-own Greenwood Wisteria Lane, the female named the purebred competition’s best. Both said they were excited to win. “It is a very nice win. It was an awful tough show,” said Bernard, owner of Greenwood Limousin near Lloydminster, Sask.

the Going Beyonhdool! Grazing Sc

Bernard began raising purebred Limousin cattle in 1974. He and his wife, Mona, raised six boys on the farm, and three still farm in the area. Not only did Bernard help establish several of his sons in the cattle industry, but he is now helping mentor his grandsons, who also hope to continue working in agriculture. Bernard said 16-year-old Jayden will start up his herd with their winning heifer, and in two years he will be handing Wisteria Lane over to him. Jayden said he was happy with the win because he worked on the heifer daily to get it ready to show. “A lot of work went into it so this makes it all worth it,” said Jayden. Wisteria Lane’s mother was also a supreme champion in 2009, and was also co-owned by Jayden and

his grandfather. The family shows at the Lloydminster Stockade Round Up every year, and Bernard is a member of the Lloydminster Exhibition Association Hall of Fame. The supreme champion bull also comes from a line of winners. Its father was named the supreme champion at Canadian Western Agribition in Regina. Dave and Tracee Vikse, owners of the supreme champion bull, Red Vikse GG Fully Loaded 130x, said the animal has been the pride of their farm. “We have 400 purebred cows and he is one of our herd stars. We are really excited about it,” said Dave. Vikse Family Farm is located near Donalda, Alta., where the family

raises purebred Red Angus and Charolais cows. This was their second year showing at the Lloydminster Stockade Round Up and they said they came back after enjoying their first year showing there. As fifth generation Alberta producers, the Vikses said they are passionate about what they do so winning the supreme show is a significant for them. Sam Hardstaff, agriculture manager for the Lloydminster Exhibition Association, said there was great quality in the entries for the purebred shows this year. “The supreme show was an excellent show. It is a nice wrap-up for the purebred industry here at our show,” said Hardstaff.

LLOYDMINSTER — Like most cattle producers, Ritchie Davies has faced his share of challenges. However, his perseverance and longevity in the industr y have earned his business the highest recognition at the Lloydminster Stockade Round Up. On Nov. 2, the Lloydminster Exhibition Association presented Davies’ family-owned and operated business, Vee Tee Feeders Ltd., with this year’s Cattlemen of the Year award in a special ceremony during the Round Up. “I am feeling very good about it. It is awesome to receive that in this area from this organization because the company that you are included in is pretty incredible,” said Davies. “There are many, many worthwhile cattle organizations in the surrounding area that have received this and we are honoured to be joining them.” Davies, who has farmed just northwest of Lloydminster his entire life, started Vee Tee Feeders with his brother, David, and friend, Don Olson, in 1973. The Davies brothers began working the ranch and Olson joined on as the office manager and bookkeeper. What began as a small operation has now grown to include an 8,000 head feedlot with a cow-calf herd, more than 1,500 commercial cows, a 150 head purebred Angus herd and an order buying business. The company covers many facets of the cattle industry, but Davies said he doesn’t believe they have done anything particularly special to deserve the award. “I don’t think we have done anything unique or different or cutting edge more than anyone else in the cattle industry. We just did the same things and suffered the same ups and downs. I like to think that circumstances and probably just staying with it benefited us more than anything,” he said. The family pulled the business through the BSE crisis in the early 2000s and suffered through the sudden death of Olson, losing a friend and partner in 2007.

Cattle producers call for inquiry into XL beef recall Independent inquiry needed | Internal review ‘not good enough’: ABP BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Richie Davies, a Lloydminster area cattle producer, speaks after accepting the Cattlemen of the Year award, at the Lloydminster Stockade Round Up on Nov. 2.

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE Davies credits Olson as being a large part of the business, managing the office side until his death. However, the last decade has also seen new life breathed into the business, thanks to Davies and his wife Linda’s three children, Ted, Don and Jennifer, and their spouses, who are all now involved in Vee Tee Feeders. “We are very fortunate to have young people that want to stay in this industry and probably the biggest tragedy of BSE has been that we lost a generation of cattlemen and we are not going to get them back,”

said Davies. The industry will look quite different 20 years from now because of that, he added. Davies said his attachment to the land has kept him going. “I just love the way God put all that together,” he said. “I mean, you sow a seed, you get a crop, you have a cow and a calf and you see something new … It has been a good life.” The Cattlemen of the Year Award has been presented for the past 30 years to a Lloydminster area producer who has shown dedication to the cattle industry and contributed to the community.

FORT MACLEOD, Alta. — Southern Alberta cattle producers want a thorough independent inquiry into the XL Foods beef recall and plant shutdown. Those at an Alberta Beef Producers (ABP) zone meeting in Fort Macleod last week supported a motion from producer Bill Newton calling for an inquiry that will go beyond the internal review so far promised by government. “I appreciate that the beef value chain round table is going to review this, but that’s not good enough. This requires a prime minister’s office review. The CFIA has been basically out of control for quite some time now,” said Newton. The motion will be considered at the ABP annual meeting later this year. Those who spoke before and after the motion were critical of how the issue was handled, though all stopped short of direct criticism of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency or XL Foods ownership and management. “We have political involvement, we have bureaucratic involvement in what really should have been a science-based decision. So I think we need a thorough inquiry,” Newton added. Dean Kennedy, a cattle producer from Pincher Creek, Alta., questioned the lack of an apparent spokesperson for the industry once the XL Foods beef recall began in early September and then escalated to temporary closure of the slaughter plant in Brooks, Alta. “Who is representing this industry when it comes to a very tough spot,” Kennedy asked. “This XL thing has been hitting for six weeks and there seems to be no end in sight, so where do we go?”

We have good staff that handle the media both at the CCA (Canadian Cattlemen’s Association) and ABP level. It wasn’t a lack of having people in front of the mikes with the speaking points. The problem was, we didn’t have very much speaking points because nobody was sharing with us. DOUG SAWYER ALBERTA BEEF PRODUCERS

ABP chair Doug Sawyer said cattle group officials and communications personnel gave interviews and put forward producers’ point of view but with little effect. A recall of this magnitude that also affected muscle cuts proved a first for all those involved. “Quite frankly, I think it caught everybody, certainly me, with my pants down,” said Sawyer. “We just couldn’t get out in front. We became the secondary story about three or four days into this thing and we could never get back on top of it. It wasn’t from lack of trying, we just didn’t have a way to do it.” During the BSE crisis in 2003, CFIA chief Brian Evans acted as point person. During the listeria outbreak at Maple Leaf in 2008, company president Michael

McCain became the most visible spokesperson communicating with the public. This time, with XL Foods owners silent and CFIA careful with details of its investigation, the situation was different. “We have good staff that handle the media both at the CCA (Canadian Cattlemen’s Association) and ABP level. It wasn’t a lack of having people in front of the mikes with the speaking points,” said Sawyer. “The problem was, we didn’t have very much speaking points because nobody was sharing with us.” ABP and CCA have plans for an advertising campaign related to the food safety issue but it has been delayed by the entry of JBS into the Canadian industry. JBS took over management of the Brooks slaughter plant last month and has an option to buy XL Foods assets. Sawyer said JBS personnel want to be part of the message that is provided to consumers through television advertising. In a later interview, Sawyer said he is supportive of an independent review into the recall. “I think it’s in line. We need to know what happened and we need to know how and when and why it happened, and then we need to evaluate from that what we need to do in the future. “I don’t think this thing went industry’s way at all. I think we lost control of it.” As for JBS, he said their export marketing expertise will be welcome. “Our western Canadian situation I think fits their business model well. Again, I have to say I wish we had an Albertan or a Canadian company step up. “That would be better for us … but there wasn’t any group or any investors there.”

High E. coli cattle unlikely source of meat recall: study

Alta. producers debate national membership

STORIES BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Data from a small study on cattle that expel large amounts of E. coli bacteria in their manure shows surprising results, says one of the researchers involved. Tim McAllister, an Agriculture Canada researcher and expert on cattle nutrition and microbial ecology, said super shedders, as these cattle are known, may not be as big a factor in the spread of E. coli as has previously been thought. The massive recall of beef from the XL Foods plant in Brooks, Alta., was prompted by discovery of E. coli 0157:H7 in some products. Early speculation about bacterial source suggested it arrived on manure from a “high event day” when the plant processed several super shedder cattle. “In reality, I don’t really think we have the scientific data to draw that linkage,” McAllister said at an Oct. 25 meeting of the Southern Alberta Council on Public Affairs. It has been proposed in science circles that five percent of the cattle population reach super shedder status, and those few are responsible for 80 to 90 percent of E. coli transmission in feedlots. McAllister and his colleagues studies 400 cattle from one feedlot. By testing manure samples, they identified 13 to 16 super shedders, which had more than 10,000 E. coli cells per gram of manure. The norm is 10 to 100 cells per gram. The research centre bought the super shedders and moved them to its own facilities. Only two of the group were still super shedders after the four days that were required to move the cattle. Further tests showed some cattle were super shedders in the morning but normal by afternoon. Stressors imposed on the cattle, including longer transport, chute handling and diet changes, did not seem to encourage super shedders, said McAllister. “So are those super shedders responsible for high event days? Maybe not,” he said. “If transporting them causes them to stop being super shedders, then they wouldn’t be as big an issue. We really don’t know the answer.” McAllister cautioned that the study was small and more work must be done on the subject. Grant applications have been made. “It almost implies that the E. coli are in the digestive tract and they are sporadically released,” he said. “So there’s something in the animal that triggers the release and then (bacteria) build back up and then they are triggered to release again.” Complicating matters is the fact that there is more than one strain of E. coli 0157:H7, and some are less harmful to humans than the strain now at issue with the recall. Vaccines are available that will lower E. coli in bovine digestive tracts, but McAllister said they will not eliminate the bacteria.

CLARESHOLM, Alta. — Alberta Lamb Producers members in zones 1 and 2 defeated a motion Oct. 27 to withdraw from the Canadian Sheep Federation. Citing concerns about value for money contributed, one producer suggested the ALP would be better served by using the money to do its own lobbying and other work now undertaken by the federation. Zone 1 director Howard Paulsen said the ALP board has spent a lot of time discussing the federation, but directors continue to believe there is value in membership. “We thought about pulling out, but if we’re not at the table, we have no say,” he told those at the zone meeting.

The ALP paid $18,335 to the CSF in 2011-12, which is 15 percent of the organization’s check-off revenue. The national federation is now undergoing a review and renewal process, which includes modifications to its funding model. According to ALP materials provided at the meeting, the federation budget will need a 30 percent increase to meet its goals of advocacy, communications and fiscal autonomy. Dues for the national federation are now collected by dividing the required budget among members according to the number of sheep in each province. Every province except Newfoundland has federation representation.

The new proposal would see dues of 25 cents for every Canadian Sheep Identification Program tag purchased. However, the idea is still under consideration and an initially planned launch next September may not be feasible, Paulsen told the group. Benefit to producers Phil Kolodychuk, ALP chair and one of its representatives on the CSF board, said in a later interview that a national body has value for sheep producers. “You have to have a national organization if you really want to have a chance at talking to the federal gov-

ernment because I don’t think the federal government is going to want to talk to every province when there’s organizations that will look after national interests.” He said the federation is severely underfunded and a method must be devised so producers in all provinces contribute fairly. T h e f e d e rat i o n ma na g e s t h e national Voluntary Scrapie Flock Certification Program and the traceability program and lobbies government as needed. Kolodychuk said it is instrumental in getting veterinary drugs approved for use in Canadian flocks. It is also working on a farm level biosecurity standard for the sheep sector.

here is evidence to suggest that plague is circulating in the southwestern Prairies, British Columbia, North Dakota and Montana. A study in 1995 tested 240 dogs and 242 cats in rural areas surrounding four provincial parks for antibodies against the bacteria, which is an indicator of exposure. Researchers found that 10 percent of dogs and five percent of cats had evidence of exposure to plague. Dogs that eat the bacteria are unlikely to develop clinical plague. However, they do produce antibodies against the bacteria within a few weeks. Cats, on the other hand, are far more likely to die of plague. This explains why a greater proportion of dogs have antibodies; many exposed cats probably died. In 1988, two bushy-tailed woodrats were found dead in British Columbia and tested positive for the bacteria. A small survey of wild carnivores in the province discovered that three percent had evidence of exposure to the bacteria. The bacter ia t hat caus e s th e bubonic plague, Yersina pestis, was named for its discoverer, Alexandre Yersin. He worked as a bacteriologist in Hong Kong in the late 1800s, where he associated the bacteria with people dying from bubonic plague. He had the intuition to test rodents and discovered they also carried the bacteria, leading him to suggest that rodents were a potential source of infection for people. Fleas from infected rodents transmit the bacteria. They leave the body of infected rodents when they die and seek out the nearest warm mammal, which could be a human. The bacteria occasionally infect a victim’s lung and become aerosolized. Coughing can spread it between people in a more rapid mode of transmission, resulting in pneumonic plague. In Ca na d a, g ro u n d s q u i r re l s (gophers) and other rodents are suspected to maintain the bacteria, although exactly how plague is maintained in th e s e a re a s re mai n s unknown. Plague is responsible for wiping out large segments of the prairie dog population and indirectly, the black footed ferret, which preys upon them. Only a small pocket of prairie dogs remains in Canada, in and around Grasslands National Park.

uncommon. A man from southeastern Alberta died of the plague in 1939. Sixty percent of infected people will die if the disease is left untreated. Approximately 3,000 human cases of bubonic plague are reported worldwide each year. Bubonic plague has been identified as a potential bioterrorism agent. Modern science has pinned down the origin of this bacteria to China or surrounding areas. Human trade brought the bacteria west in the 14th century and worldwide in the 19th century. The famous Black Death in the 14th century killed an estimated 25 million people in four years, which was

People are more likely to be exposed and infected in years with heavy plague outbreaks in carrier rodents. Infected animals and their fleas can be sources of infection to people. Cats with the plague can infect people through bites, scratches or their respiratory secretions. Cats are also good at delivering infected rodents to places where people may contact them. People can protect themselves by recognizing that they live in a plague zone, avoid contact with dead rodents and sick outdoor cats and wear protective gear when this is unavoidable.

Interest beyond expectations | Meeting raises $3.6 million so far in seed capital

GRAIN TRADERS BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Far mers of No r th Amer ica is pleased with the initial grower response to its proposed $1 billion nitrogen fertilizer manufacturing plant. The group has conducted 50 town hall meetings across Western Canada that have attracted 1,000 farmers. The idea is to explain the project and raise seed money for the venture. “They’re going really well. It surpassed our expectations,” said Bob Friesen, spokesperson for FNA Fertilizer Limited Partnership. “We had targeted 1,000 seed capital units in 60 days and I mean we got that in 10.” Farmers have purchased 3,600 seed capital units at a cost of $1,000 per unit. That means $3.6 million has been raised to finance environmental studies and civil and environmental engineering activities and pay the securities regulatory costs and legal fees required to move the project to the equity investment stage. Friesen said he didn’t know when FNA will conduct an equity drive. The plan is to continue with the town hall fundraiser meetings indefinitely. Most of the meetings have been held in Western Canada, but this week the focus is shifting to Ontario and Quebec. “We’re going to continue to hold these meetings until we feel that the farm population has been saturated,” he said. The goal is to raise seed money but also to build farmer excitement and participation in the project. FNA wants at least 50 percent farmer ownership in the $1 billion plant. The facility would be built at a western Canadian location that has good strategic access to rail, road, water and natural gas.

Farmers of North America want at least 50 percent farmer ownership in the proposed $1 billion nitrogen fertilizer plant. | FILE PHOTO BMO Capital Markets has been hired to provide financial advice for the project and to find a third party investor that will run the plant. Cheap natural gas and strong demand has spurred significant interest in building nitrogen fertilizer plants in North America. North Dakota Corn Growers and CHS Inc., the largest farmer owned co-operative in the United States,

have both announced plans to build $1 billion plants in North Dakota. Quebec’s Coop Fédérée plans to build a $1.2 billion plant near TroisRivieres, Que., in conjunction with IFFCO, one of the world’s largest fertilizer co-operatives. Yara International plans to double production at its plant near Belle Plaine, Sask., to 2.2 million tonnes annually by 2016.

Ohio Valley Resources wants to build a $1 billion facility in Rockport, Indiana, and Iowa Fertilizer Company intends to build another $1 billion plant in that state. The latest announcement came from CF Industries Holdings Inc., which has board approval to spend $3.8 billion building new ammonia and urea/UAN production units at its complex in Donaldsonville, Louisiana, and new ammonia and urea units at its plant in Port Neal, Iowa. David Asbridge, president of NPK Fertilizer Advisory, said there isn’t enough room in North America for all these new nitrogen fertilizer plants. “There’s a good possibility that not all of these are going to get built,” he said. The competing projects don’t faze Friesen. “We are not building the plant to compete in the market as such. We are building this plant for farmer investors. Those farmer investors are also going to be the captive market for the fertilizer that is produced at the plant,” he said. “It would be a mistake to think that this plant is being built only because natural gas prices are at record lows. This is meant to put farmers up the value chain.” There is big money to be made right now in the fertilizer business. Viterra recently reported year-to-date fertilizer margins of $157.74 per tonne compared to $126.46 per tonne for the first nine months of 2011. That compares to grain handling and marketing margins of $39.54 per tonne. “That’s the reason why we think it’s important for farmers to get involved in fertilizer margins, simply so that they can share in those profits and use those profits to offset the input costs of the nitrogen they use on their farm,” said Friesen.

GM TECHNOLOGY | MARKETING SEED

Seed companies nearing deal on off-patent GMO technology Reuters — The U.S. seed industry said it is a step closer to establishing a broad framework for the handling of genetically modified seed technology as product patents expire. The move has important implications for how generic seed products come to market. The American Seed Trade Association and the Biotechnology Industry Organization said they have completed the first phase of an industry accord that addresses post-patent, single-trait seed biotechnology. When implemented, the groups

said, the deal will safeguard foreign regulatory approvals of U.S. GM seed and help spur seed innovation. The announcement marks progress but not a final solution in an ongoing, sometimes contentious, effort by major seed industry players like Monsanto, DuPont, Syngenta, and smaller seed companies to agree on obligations and opportunities as the first patented biotech seed trait, the Roundup Ready herbicide resistance trait, comes off patent in 2014. Monsanto has made billions of dollars off Roundup Ready soybeans,

corn, cotton, canola and other crops after first launching a Roundup Ready herbicide tolerant soybean in 1996. The company has licensed the trait technology to other companies over the years. But with patent expiration approaching, the seed industry has had to grapple with an array of concerns, including who should bear the costs and responsibilities of maintaining regulatory approvals. That involves submitting data to foreign countries to maintain approval for sales of seeds in those countries.

Monsanto has said it will maintain the regulatory approvals globally through 2021. But the industry has been seeking a broad mechanism to protect international regulatory approvals and address product stewardship in ways that keep international trade from being disrupted and seed choice for farmers. Under the accord announced Oct. 31, those companies that sign on will be required to provide notice of patent expiration three years before the last patent on the biotechnology event expires

INFLATION | FOOD PRICES

Inflation forces price hike: Maple Leaf Bread, meat to rise | Higher livestock and feed prices are putting a squeeze on profit margins SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Canadian food processor Maple Leaf Foods is planning price hikes for its meat and bread products to keep up with rising input costs. Bread price increases of 10 cents per unit on a retail basis are planned for January. Meat price increases are likely later in the first quarter, although the magnitude of the increase is not yet known. “That will largely cover the cost of our commodity (grain) increases, although probably not the value of all of our inflation,” chief executive officer Michael McCain said in a conference call with investment analysts discussing third quarter results. The company’s goal is to maintain its margins while coping with increased livestock and grain costs triggered by the U.S. Midwest

Maple Leaf Foods plans to raise the price of its meat and bread products in the first quarter of 2013. | FILE PHOTO drought this summer. The day after the conference call, Maple Leaf announced it was buying the struggling hog production

company Puratone for $42 million. Puratone is a key supplier to Maple Leaf’s Brandon slaughter plant. The company had improved

operating earnings in the third quarter, but a one-time charge related to the value of its hogs and poultry dropped its quarterly net profit by 24 percent. Net earnings for the third quarter ended Sept. 30 fell to $32.6 million from $43 million a year ago. That included a one-time charge of $13 million for the write down in the value of the company’s hogs, chickens and eggs. New international reporting standards require the company to state the market value of “biological assets,” which include livestock and poultry, but the company believes those amounts don’t have an effect on its operating results and so also published adjusted operating earnings. The adjusted operating earnings were up four percent to $76.3 million.

EXPANSION

New canola plant planned Northstar Agri Industries, which recently opened a canola crushing plant at Hallock, Minnesota, near the Manitoba border, plans to build another plant in Enid, Oklahoma. The company hopes to have the plant operating in time to process the 2015 crop if it can secure debt financing and regulatory approvals. The plant would process 760,000 tonnes of canola a year and employ 55 people. Oklahoma farmers nearly doubled their area of winter canola this year to 250,000 acres, according to an estimate by Producers Co-operative Oil Mill in Oklahoma City. “I believe winter canola production is a game changer for Oklahoma agriculture, providing a much needed rotation crop, improving winter wheat yields and quality while increasing and diversifying farm income,” Brent Kisling, an Enid area regional business development manager, said in a news release. Northstar is a subsidiary of PICO Holdings Inc.

FAMILY CONFLICTS | COPING STRATEGIES

Decisions made early on can head off sibling conflicts later MANAGING THE FARM

BOB TOSH, Bsc., PAg

This is the first column in a monthly series about farm management by Meyers Norris Penny. Future columns will appear at producer.com in ‘Opinions and Blogs.’

• Ensure you have a clearly defined way to measure equity earned, and employ it early. A major source of conflict is when a sibling returns to the farm business at a later date and assumes an equal share • Understand that the governance model will change if more than one child becomes involved. Deal with this early to manage expectations. • Roles and responsibilities should be clearly defined, and individual strengths and weaknesses must be recognized when allocating them. • It may not always be the eldest child who should manage the farm. Accept that it may not be possible or desirable for your chil-

dren to work together in the future, and be open to the idea of a split business. If more than one child is coming back to the farm, put in place a comprehensive agreement that outlines how decisions will be made and how compensation is calculated. Such an agreement allows a child to leave, or be asked to leave, with clear rules on how this should take place and what the contingency plan is in the event of death, disability, divorce, disagreement or downturn The will is often a major source of conflict. Don’t make farming children wait until you die before they can assume some ownership. Be fair

to all of your children but understand that fairness is a perception. It requires the decision process to be transparent Separate family from business and set out these expectations early on. Unfortunately, many farm families fall into a continuing state of unhappiness because they didn’t manage the expectations of their children It can be extremely difficult to repair the damage when siblings reach a heightened state of conflict. Even with professional help, a family may never fully recover from the anger and upset. It is far better to avoid the conflict in the first place. The family farm is a unique blend of

business, home, work and play. It can be a joyfully rich experience for all who touch it, but it can also become a monster that breaks families apart. Understand the complex nature of human emotions, and don’t assume it will all work out. Be proactive, communicate with your children and manage expectations. Remember Steinbeck’s observation and try to treat your children fairly so that they understand that they are loved equally. Bob Tosh is a farm management consultant in MNP’s Farm Management Consulting group in Saskatoon. For more information, call 877-500-0778 or email Bob.Tosh@mnp.ca.

ost people know the biblical story of Cain and Abel. The book of Genesis tells the tale of two brothers who set up two different farming enterprises. The brothers each made a gift to God but God favoured only Abel’s gift. Cain, whom God had not favoured, then killed his brother and was outcast. John Steinbeck’s book, East of Eden, observes that the story is not about jealousy but about a desire to be loved equally. This makes a lot of sense to me as I help farm families try to navigate the complex world of transition planning. While it is exceptionally rare to see an outcome as extreme as the one in Cain and Abel’s case, it is not that rare to see siblings in a state of conflict. The idea that family members will simply get along and that everyone will tolerate each other’s differences is wishful thinking. There are some decisions that the business founders need to take at an early stage to avoid, or at least alleviate, future conflict among siblings: • Don’t assume that the business can support all family members who wish to work in it. Make this clear during the family’s upbringing
