Changes to standards committee unfair: APAS

SERVING WESTERN CANADIAN FARM FAMILIES SINCE 1923

WWW.PRODUCER.COM

Members of Saskatchewan’s general farm organization are crying foul over recent changes to the Western Standards Committee.

The WSC is an influential committee of the Canadian Grain Commission that reviews grain standards and grading issues in Western Canada.

Norm Hall, president of the Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan, said changes to the WSC’s underlying structure will give primary producers less say in how grain, oilseeds and pulse crops are graded and give elevator companies and exporters more influence.

A decision made by the WSC could potentially cost prairie farmers tens of millions of dollars in a single year, he added.

“What they did was downsize the producer’s (influence) and increase the industry’s,” said Hall.

“The CGC was designed to protect agricultural producers, partially from the industry … but now, it seems to be turning the other way.”

CANADIAN WESTERN AGRIBITION | MANAGING THE SHOW

Barn boss a referee and coach At Agribition | Organizing the barns and stalls is like a fall vacation for one boss

BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

REGINA —Jim Hallberg heads to Canadian Western Agribition every year for a week’s vacation as barn boss.

With his wife at home feeding their herd of commercial cattle, Hallberg joins 18 other bosses, plus one supervisor, to make sure that the more than 500 exhibitors and their more than 5,000 animals have a rewarding experience while following commonsense rules.

“It’s kind of like an extended family to me,” Hallberg said. “I know all the breeders and we get along pretty well. I respect what they do, they

JIM HALLBERG AGRIBITION BARN BOSS

respect what I do, and I just call it my fall vacation.”

This is Hallberg’s seventh year as boss of the Red and Black Angus breed, the largest at Agribition. There are 105 Angus exhibitors and 545

animals, which represents one-third of the total number of purebred beef exhibitors and animals.

This is also Hallberg’s second time being boss. He spent a decade as boss 20 years ago.

Boards of directors from each of the individual breeds choose their bosses, while Agribition’s board selects the barn boss supervisor.

Once the number of exhibitors and the number of animals for each exhibitor is determined, the bosses design the space each exhibitor needs and directs them to their stalls.

“It’s our job to stall these cattle in the most mannerly way and the way

they fit together,” he said.

Hallberg compares the job of barn boss to a hockey referee and coach rolled into one.

“We basically are there to keep our group of people, which in my case are the Angus people, making sure the rules are followed that Agribition sets down,” he said.

“It’s just like a hockey game. There are penalties. They know it and I’m upfront with them.”

Animals need to be stalled no later than 8 a.m. and can’t leave their barn until 6 p.m. each day. Stalls need to be kept tidy and clean.

Barn boss referee, coach “Keep them orderly, make sure they get along with their neigbour and it’s usually pretty easy. They’re usually a pretty easy group to handle,” he said.

He said he’s occasionally had to tune in an exhibitor.

“The bad (thing) is somebody breaks a rule and he’s a friend of yours. You can’t think of him as a friend. You have to go lay the law down to him.… I always give them one benefit of the doubt.”

“I give them one shot and I don’t write them up. The second shot I write them up,” he said.

“I don’t consider myself the boss. I consider myself an equal and if you treat me that way, I’ll treat you the same way.”

This is Bob Jackson’s second year as supervisor of the barn bosses. Conflicts are rare, but he’s learned strate-

gies that have worked well.

“I treat people how I like to be treated,” said Jackson, a former barn boss of the Charolais breed for 10 years.

“And the other rule I have as a supervisor is I never argue. If someone is being really belligerent to me, I just turn and walk away because they can’t argue with themselves, and then come back later and solve it.”

Agribition pioneered the barn boss program in the early1980s when breeder organizations started choosing their individual bosses.

“That’s why the show is number one in the world, they say, because of the barn boss program and how we keep things going,” said Gordie Craig, 13-year boss of the Polled and Horned Hereford breed.

“Everybody works together,” he said.

» PURATONE LOSS: A farmer

GRAIN COMMISSION | FROM PAGE ONE

The WSC comprises 26 members and includes representation from across the industry: farmers, grain companies, end-users, government representatives and commodity groups.

It also has four sub-committees that propose grading changes related to wheat, oilseeds, pulses, and barley-oats.

Membership on the sub-committees has been altered significantly.

For example, farmer representation on the WSC’s wheat sub-committee has been reduced from six members to two, while industry representation has increased from four members to seven.

Hall said grading changes that favour farmers are far less likely to see the light of day under the new structure. For example, grading standards that reward farmers for producing wheat with better milling qualities are far less likely to be approved or considered if the subcommittees are dominated by exporters and elevator companies, while grading discounts associated with bleaching, shriveling, dimpling and discolouration are more likely to be adopted.

“The grain companies sell grain by technical standards so why shouldn’t they be buying it on technical standards as well,” Hall said.

Farmer Garth Burns, who chaired

the WSC’s pulse sub-committee, said he received a letter from the CGC in early August informing him that he would no longer be sitting on the WSC’s pulse sub-committee.

“They’ve taken all the input away from the agricultural producers …. (so) it’s all industry driven now,” said Burns.

“It’s pretty bad … especially when the mandate of the grain commission is to look after the primary producer.”

Elwin Hermanson, chief commissioner with the CGC, said the changes were designed to make the subcommittees smaller and more effective.

“Part of the problem was that these committees were gradually getting larger … to the point that they weren’t as effective…,” Hermanson said.

“You could argue … that producers are not represented the same way they used to be on the subcommittees. I would make the argument that we’re getting closer to what the initial purpose and vision was for the committees and that to be effective, this is a better model than what they were gradually evolving into.”

Grading recommendations made at the sub-committee level must still be approved by the WSC, which selects 12 of its 26 members from producer organizations, he added.

WEEDS | RESISTANCE

Glyphosate-resistant weeds marching north Invasion worries experts | Tropical weeds are acclimatizing to colder, northern prairie conditions

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Glyphosate-resistant and invasive weeds are spreading east, south and west of the central Prairies, leaving weed control officers anxiously awaiting their appearance.

No one is fooling themselves into believing these new menaces won’t appear in the cold heart of the continent.

“There’s a good chance some of them may be moving north,” said Manitoba Agriculture weed specialist Nasir Shaikh in an interview during the Canadian Weed Science Society’s annual meeting in Winnipeg Nov. 15.

Reports of glyphosate-resistant

weeds appeared in many sessions during the three-day meeting, which brought together weed scientists from across the country, as well as each province’s leading weed control officers and Canadian Food Inspection Agency officials.

A host of glyphosate-resistant weeds have appeared in Ontario in recent years, and the problem is worsening.

In southern Alberta, widespread glyphosate-resistant kochia is appearing and giving minimum till farmers a tough time.

Saskatchewan and Manitoba don’t have major problems yet, but widespread use of glyphosate creates the ideal situation for independent development of glyphosate-resistant weeds.

As well, already-developed resistant weeds could spread into the Prairies from the much-beset U.S. Midwest and West by air, water or truck.

Herbicide resistant weeds are appearing across North Dakota, and those areas are often connected to Canadian provinces by rivers.

Last year, Manitoba Agriculture staff in Melita found a suspicious looking weed, which Shaikh was able to identify as giant ragweed, a worrisome invasive weed and a likely candidate to become glyphosateresistant.

Giant ragweed is believed to have travelled into the Melita area in floodwaters in the past two years, and it’s not known how many other weeds from the northern United

States have floated in and spread along river valleys and onto the edges of farm fields.

The war with weeds is unending.

Old chemical technologies break down once weeds adapt to them and many develop multiple resistances over time. Weeds become terrible problems when glyphosate-resistance is added to their armour.

The dominance of minimum-till farming makes these problems hard to deal with and encourages even more chemical reliance.

Alberta’s growing glyphosateresistant kochia problem is made worse by the weed’s already existing resistance to Group 2 herbicides. It has caused major problems in Kansas.

Farmers and weed control officials

have also had to grapple with the ever-present danger of invasive species. Some are agricultural and spread on farm and resource trucks and trains.

Others are introduced in urban gardens as pretty plants and then spread into farming areas.

Saskatchewan weed specialist Clark Brenzil said he has seen a worrisome ornamental weed, Himalayan Balsam, literally “jump the fence” in a Saskatoon neighbour-hood and begin spreading in a back alley.

Ontario Agriculture weed control specialist Kristen Callow described her alarm at the discovery of a patch of kudzu on a slope beside water in her province. It’s a big patch and hasn’t yet been eradicated as experts figure out how to kill it.

GRAIN MARKETING | OPEN MARKET

Deregulation advocates see need for greater farmer voice

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

WINNIPEG — Few would expect Paul Earl to call for farmers to have more control in today’s deregulated grain industry.

Nor would many expect him to argue that the grain industry is at risk of “imbalance” because of a lack of farmer influence.

Few farmers might expect John DePape to call for new government regulations to protect small grain companies and directly fund grain industry data collection.

But that’s what these right-of-centre thinkers argued during the recent Fields on Wheels conference, pointing out gaps they see in the new open

market for grain in Western Canada.

“Farmers need a voice,” said Earl, acting director of the University of Manitoba’s Transport Institute and former chief researcher for the Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association.

“They have to think whether what they have lost in terms of farmer control is something they need to find a new way to implement. Will they find themselves disadvantaged by imbalances in the marketplace and will they have to recreate some sort of farmer control they have lost?”

DePape echoed Earl’s concern about imbalances of economic power but focused on the likely plight of small grain firms and merchants in the post-monopoly environment.

“Some of these smaller companies are going to have trouble competing with the bigger companies,” said DePape, a grain industry risk management analyst and author of the anti-monopoly blog CWB Monitor.

“Many small companies relied upon the wheat board for finance and for expertise,” he said.

DePape said the federal government should consider regulations that will help smaller grain companies compete with the giant firms that now dominate the Canadian grain trade.

“It behooves us to give them a fighting chance,” he said.

“They built their businesses, their business models, around the old system, and we’ve changed that and

there are some things I think the government could do.”

DePape wants the government to not only protect the Canadian Grain Commission’s present data gathering system but to expand the system by forcing grain companies to report export sales when they are made.

DePape said a competitive marketplace survives only if a structure exists that allows competitors to operate. For him this means regulatory support for small grain companies and statistics-gathering support for the rest of the industry.

Earl said his call for more farmer control was not an argument to return to the CWB monopoly or the prairie grain pool elevator companies. He said he considers those

failed approaches that hurt farmers more than helped them.

However, he thinks farmers need to have access to decision making within the grain industry, which ended with the demise of the CWB monopoly and the pools.

Earl acknowledged that developing a stronger voice within the industry will be difficult because farmers who pushed for the end of the C WB monopoly and other government interventions don’t want it now.

“Farmer control is such a bad odour. There are so many bad examples of how it should not be done in the last 50 years, that they do not even want to talk about it,” said Earl of proopen market organizations such as the wheat growers association.

SASKATCHEWAN ASSOCIATION OF RURAL MUNICIPALITIES | AG PROGRAMS

SARM plans lobby against ag program changes AgriStability cap | Lower historical reference margin will eliminate incentive to reduce inputs

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities has significant reservations about the Growing Forward 2 agreement and will be lobbying governments to change it.

SARM was hoping for a strengthening of the AgriInvest program.

Instead, the provincial and federal governments agreed to decrease the matching deposit in the savings account to one percent of allowable net sales from 1.5 percent.

“We were disappointed to learn that government funding for AgriInvest is going to be reduced,” Laurel Feltin, SARM’s director of policy, told delegates attending last week’s midterm convention.

The organization was also disappointed to learn that starting in 2013, the AgriStability program trigger will be 70 percent of a producer’s historical reference margin, down

from 85 percent under the old program.

However, SARM is particularly concerned that payments will be capped at the lower of the historical reference margin or the average of allowable expenses.

“Basically it’s going to create a scenario where the incentive to lower input costs will be lost,” said Feltin.

“By reducing your input costs, you would actually reduce any payment you would trigger from AgriStability, so it kind of seems like a disincentive.”

She said the purpose of the program is to protect producers in times of volatility, and it doesn’t make sense to base it on margins and expenses when fertilizer, fuel and commodity prices have all been volatile in recent years.

“We are going to continue to raise this issue. We would like to see a change for sure,” said Feltin.

SARM would like to see more

research money spent on the livestock and forage industries and a renewal and expansion of the Farm and Ranch Water Infrastructure Program.

Feltin said the federal government is about to launch formal consultations on a new Species at Risk Act. Farmers can now be fined up to $250,000 or imprisoned for causing inadvertent harm to species at risk through normal farming activities, although Feltin said the current act has no teeth in that regard.

SARM wants the new act to eliminate all producer liability and reward farmers who set aside land for species at risk.

“We still have to be profitable in the ag sector and (the act) can’t conflict with that,” said Feltin.

She had good news for producers about the Census of Agriculture.

“Any agriculture producer I know hates filling out the ag census. It’s a long form, it takes a long time and not

only that but it’s in May, one of the most difficult and busy times for agriculture producers,” said Feltin.

SARM recently attended a workshop about changing the census.

“I can tell you that I really think it’s going to be shortened this time, so that’s good,” she told delegates.

Feltin believes the federal government will eliminate nine questions from the census.

“They don’t have money to make the form long. They want to make sure they’re not asking anything that costs extra money.”

SARM has been lobbying Ottawa to collect financial data from other programs such as crop insurance, income tax and AgriStability instead of requiring farmers to fill out that information on the census.

“They said they are looking at that.

They are testing a system right now where they can actually pull that data from these various other programs,” said Feltin.

ON THE TO-DO LIST A number of agriculture-related resolutions were passed at the midterm convention suggesting that SARM: • set up a steering committee in conjunction with Manitoba and Alberta to form a co-operative to buy the Agroforestry Development Centre at Indian Head, Sask., and operate it at full cost recovery • lobby provincial and federal governments to support proposals provided by retention committees before dispersing federal community pastures • lobby the Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corp. to refuse coverage on clubroot susceptible crops, including clubroot resistant canola varieties, that are seeded where a susceptible crop was grown the previous year • lobby provincial government agencies for grants to develop non-potable water resources for domestic and livestock use in rural areas with a lack of water

FOOD SECTOR | PROCESSING

Canada sinks deeper into value-added food processing deficit

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Canada’s food processing sector faces a growing multibillion-dollar trade deficit and a serious decline in its ability to compete, says a new study published by the Canadian Agri-Food Policy Institute.

Author Doug Hedley, a former senior Agriculture Canada official, described a value-adding industry with serious problems of competitiveness, investment and a growing gap between the value of processed food imports and exports.

“Canada’s net trade in value-added processed food has deteriorated

from a deficit of about $1 billion in 2004 to $6.3 billion in 2011,” he wrote.

CAPI president David McInnes said in a Nov. 19 interview that the analysis is bad news for the entire food sector.

“The trend line of a growing trade deficit is disturbing,” he said. “This is a very important issue for primary producers who sell to these plants and to retailers.”

The numbers mean processed food products now on grocer y store shelves are increasingly imports.

In recent years, there has been increasing evidence of what analysts call the “hollowing out” of Canada’s food processing industry, particu-

larly in Ontario where plants have been closing, jobs are being shed and farmers are losing a domestic market for their produce.

Food and Consumer Products of Canada (FPCP) said last week the report flags a significant industry problem.

It is the largest Canadian manufacturing sector, with 300,000 employees, but has been recording trade deficits for two decades. As well, the gap between the value of exports and imports has increased sharply in recent years.

The FPCP used the report to renew a call for more government support, including tax breaks, labour market

credits and reduced regulation.

In his report, Hedley did not pinpoint the causes of declining industry competitiveness. It is a combination of a reduced value of exports and an increase in the value of imports.

He raised some possibilities and suggested they be explored: • the growing trade gap roughly coincides with the increased value of the Canadian dollar in recent years, which has made Canadian production less competitive with American production. The United States is the main buyer of Canadian product and the main source of imports • Canada’s access to American and

Mexican markets under the 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement has been challenged by other free trade agreements signed by the Americans • integration of the North American economy has meant that most large food processing and manufacturing firms are based in the U.S. with Canada relegated to a branch plant status • there has been a decline in the value of capital investment in the Canadian food processing industry. “This implies a net disinvestment in the manufacturing sector for food and beverages over the last nine years,” said the report.

XL plant starts slowly to ensure food safety JBS manages production | Workers trained on protocols

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

Meat is leaving the XL Foods plant in Brooks, Alta., for the first time since an E. coli outbreak forced its closure in September.

“They’re shipping the product out and it’s going to retailers. Everything seems to be in progress,” said Doug O’Halloran of the United Food and Commercial Workers union.

JBS USA took over management of the southern Alberta plant from XL Foods in October. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency pulled XL Foods’ license to produce after food safety concerns.

Nineteen people became sick after eating E. coli contaminated meat from the plant.

As part of its relicensing agreement, the slaughtered beef must be held until E. coli tests come back negative.

When JBS took over management of the plant, it said it planned to implement its own tough food safety system that is already in place at its

eight U.S. plants.

“They’re taking great care to ensure all the i’s are dotted and t’s are crossed,” O’Halloran said.

The plant slaughtered almost 2,000 head of cattle per day before it was shut down. Workers cited line speed as part of the reason why food safety standards may have been compromised.

The production line began at a slower pace when the plant reopened to ensure all workers understood food safety protocols. The line is still operating at a reduced pace, he said.

“They’re doing what is necessary to ensure everyone is trained properly and the best product possible is going out the door.”

Workers have also been given more authority to raise food safety issues, O’Halloran said.

“So far the changes with JBS have been very positive,” he said.

“We’ve got our fingers crossed it will continue to have a heightened sense of food safety and worker safety and get this plant back operating fully.”

MORDEN, Man. — Sitting at his dining room table, Robert Wiebe looks like a man who hasn’t slept much since the middle of September.

It’s been two months since Puratone entered creditor protection, but Wiebe is still enraged because the hog production company owes him more than $300,000.

Wiebe, who farms north of Morden, delivered 54,000 bushels of winter wheat to Puratone’s feed mill in Winkler in late August and September.

Puratone paid him for only 16,000 bu. of wheat.

“I hauled all my winter wheat to them,” said Wiebe, who has sold grain to Puratone for years. “They owe me for 38,000 bu. I delivered them about 54,000 bu.”

If it wasn’t for an excellent corn crop on his 2,200 acre farm, Wiebe said it would have been difficult to cover the $300,000 deficit.

“I had a super corn crop this year and I am going to survive. Last year I would’ve had to re-mortgage or shut down,” he said.

It will take several years to recover from the $300,000 loss, he added.

“That was me and my family’s paycheque for the year,” he said.

The two weeks after Puratone entered creditor protection Sept. 12 were particularly stressful because he didn’t know his corn crop would pull him through.

“The first two weeks, there was no sleeping,” he said. “It was a dry fall so (I) didn’t think the corn crop would even make average. What are you going to have to sell? How are you going to survive this?”

Puratone produces 500,000 hogs per year and is the third largest hog production company in Manitoba.

With record high feed costs this summer, Puratone was losing $20 to $50 on every hog it sold.

Maple Leaf Foods announced in early November that it was buying Puratone’s 50 barns and three feed mills for $42 million. The deal will likely be completed by December.

In a statement, Maple Leaf said it isn’t planning immediate changes for Puratone’s barns, which have remained operational during the creditor protection period.

However, it is unclear how the $42 million will be distributed to Puratone’s creditors.

A court appointed monitor, Deloitte and Touche, is overseeing the creditor protection process. Puratone owes $40.8 million to the Bank of Montreal, $40.2 million to Farm Credit Canada and $5 million to Manitoba Agricultural Services Corp. All three are secured creditors.

A creditor list, which is available online, indicates that Puratone owes

$20,000 to $300,000 each to dozens of Manitoba farmers who delivered grain to the company before it applied for court protection.

John Sigurdson, who farms near Riverton, Man., is out $60,000 after delivering grain to Puratone’s feed mill in Arborg, Man. “As it stands right now … we are looking for a lawyer that works in bankruptcy and insolvency,” Sigurdson said. “As soon as your grain got there, it was made into feed and away it went.”

Wiebe assumed Puratone was bonded and that he would eventually be paid for his grain. Besides, Puratone had called and asked him to deliver his winter wheat.

“They phoned me and kept bugging me to bring in grain. They were short of grain, they said. So I brought grain in for three weeks.”

On top of his financial loss, Wiebe said a telephone conversation in the middle of September with Puratone chief executive officer Ray Hildebrand put him over the edge.

“When I phoned the CEO, the big boy, he told me his pigs were more important than my farm.”

The Western Producer phoned Puratone for comment but the company declined.

Because of his loss and what he calls a flippant reaction from Puratone, Wiebe has joined the group of Manitoba farmers considering a lawsuit to recover their money.

At this point, however, it’s not clear who they will sue because Puratone owes more money than it received from Maple Leaf.

As well, Maple Leaf bought Puratone’s assets rather than the entire company, which means it isn’t responsible for Puratone’s liabilities under Canadian regulations.

WHO IS LIABLE? Since Maple Leaf Foods announced Nov. 1 that it was buying Puratone, several Manitoba farmers and Manitoba MP James Bezan have said Maple Leaf should compensate producers who sold grain to Puratone and never received payment.

In a response, Maple Leaf spokesperson David Bauer said the following: “Maple Leaf is investing over $40 million to acquire this business and keep it operating. This includes paying full price for the grain, as part of the purchase price. Once the deal closes, which we expect in about a month, or a little less, these funds will be paid to the court, which determines how the funds are distributed. We are already paying fair market value for the grain and the pigs. And we are equally committed to paying fair and competitively, going forward.” place for the purchase of the assets, which does not include the outstanding debt,” said Maple Leaf spokesperson David Bauer.

Keystone Agricultural Producers president Doug Chorney has heard more than a dozen complaints from Manitoba farmers about the Puratone deal.

He said it’s unfair that the entity that replaces Puratone can walk away from its financial obligations.

“We don’t think it’s acceptable for this business to carry on and all these farmers not getting paid anything for their grain,” he said.

“This creditor protection … prohibited anyone from taking any action and now it seems like everyone gets off without any responsibility.”

KAP is looking to organize a meeting in the next few weeks with the players involved, including Maple Leaf, Puratone and producers, to see if there is a way forward.

Bauer said Maple Leaf is open to the idea.

“We’re open to engaging all stakeholders as part of the process.”

Producer cars have shown surprising resilience in the post-C WB monopoly world.

Producer car orders are pouring into the system after a slow start and service appears to be good, even though many thought there would be no place for them without a monopoly.

“I thought the producer cars were going to disappear,” said Quorum Corp. manager Mark Hemmes at the Fields on Wheels conference Nov. 6.

“We’re seeing a fair number of producer cars and they’re moving.”

Hemmes’ surprise reflects that of many in the grain industry, who doubted that the railways would willingly provide producer cars or haul them once the CWB lost the power to confront the railways.

Murray Hamilton, grain shipping manager with Canadian Pacific Railway, said the good service reflects the commitment his company made before the monopoly was broken Aug. 1.

“From our perspective, it was going to be no change,” said Hamilton.

If farmers ordered cars, they would be delivered.

Hamilton said producer car orders fell 27 percent year-over-year in the first weeks of the post-monopoly period, but in recent weeks they have caught up to last year levels and in some weeks exceeded them.

SMOOTH SHIPPING The end of the CWB monopoly and replacement of its logistical influence have not led to significant transportation problems in the first 15 weeks of 2012-13 compared to the same period of other recent years. Grain is flowing well.

Hemmes said he believes the railway companies didn’t want to be the cause of system problems so they knuckled down to ensure that didn’t happen.

“The railways went into this crop year with a mindset that said nobody’s going to (be able to) blame us for this, so it’s working,” said Hemmes.

Hamilton said the months before Aug. 1 were a harried time, with a feeling of “organized mayhem” within his company as it prepared for the new logistics signals.

Weekly Vancouver grain car unloads of more than 4,500, well above the 4,000 per week average of the past five years, revealed extra capacity that has been hiding within the system.

Hamilton said CPR’s new chief executive officer, Hunter Harrison, is pushing his grain people to find more.

“He is absolutely convinced that there is more capacity out there,” said Hamilton.

WINNIPEG — Grain is rushing through the Canadian transportation network in the first months after the death of the CWB’s export monopoly.

“Overall, things are looking pretty good,” said Mark Hemmes, manager of the federally appointed grain system monitor Quorum Corp., in a speech during the Fields on Wheels conference Nov. 6.

That perception dominated the conference, which is the grain industry’s annual logistics forum.

Not only has the system not broken down as a new set of logistical signals were switched on, but remarkable efficiency gains have been seen since Aug. 1.

“For the first 13 weeks of this year, we have started to bust unloading paradigms, between both railroads in co-operation with grain companies, about capacity in Vancouver,” said Canadian Pacific Railway grain shipping manager Murray Hamilton.

“Is this the new norm? Is that what’s going to be sustainable going forward?”

Car unloading totals in Vancouver are at levels almost unimaginable 10 years ago, while shipping through Thunder Bay has hit nearrecord levels in recent weeks and the port of Churchill has seen good grain flow.

The lack of significant problems in the grain transportation business is a pleasant surprise to many in the Canadian grain industry, considering that the CWB played a dominant role in many aspects of the grain logistics system, from organizing sales to ordering and organizing rail car allocation to directing grain to port terminals.

Many players, such as grain companies, some farm groups and grain merchants, argued for years that the system could be more efficient without the CWB’s involvement because it added an extra layer of complexity to the system.

However, many of the same players feared the switchover could reveal unforeseen gaps in the system or faulty structures as the new system evolved.

Those problems have not materialized.

“Is this all about the CWB? I’m not ready to say that yet,” said Hemmes.

“But I can tell you that things are looking really good.”

The industry had more than a year to prepare for the end of the monopoly, with federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz making it clear as soon as the Conservative government won a majority that he intended to kill the board’s

companies, I suspect we’re going to get to a brand new paradigm of efficiency in Vancouver.”

Hemmes said many aspects of the new system are still new, and it’s too soon to tell how well they will do in the long run.

However, the system has made

the transition remarkably well in the first three months since the ending of the CWB monopoly.

Combined with last year’s good performance, it’s a reason to be optimistic.

“Is this sustainable,” he said.

“Well, let’s hope so.”

DURUM | PRODUCTION OUTLOOK

Durum supply tight but price remains steady Demand slumping | North African imports decline after two good harvests

BY ROBIN BOOKER SASKATOON OFFICE

Durum prices might strengthen in the new year, but the rally may come too late to hold acres as producers consider more profitable crops when making next year’s seeding decisions.

Jim Peterson, marketing director for the North Dakota Wheat Commission, said 2012 world durum production was 1.3 billion bushels, down slightly from 2011 and down 200 million bu. from 2009’s record crop of 1.5 billion bu.

Better spring weather helped North America increase production last summer. Canada’s crop rose to 161 million bu. from last year’s 153 million while the U.S. crop jumped 60 percent to 81 million bu.

However, that was not enough to offset production problems in the European Union, Kazakhstan, Syria and Turkey.

“It’s been about three years in a row that the world durum production has contracted, so that’s obviously a little bit bullish for prices,” Peterson said in an interview summarizing the presentation he gave at the wheat commission’s annual outlook meeting Nov.13 in Minot, N.D. “Stocks look to be tightening, but there is not a robust sales environ-

North Africa, which accounts for 50 percent of world durum imports, has reduced demand because it is coming off two good growing years with production hovering around 200 million bu., up from 160 million bu. in 2010, Peterson said.

Frayne Olson, a crops economist and marketing specialist at North Dakota State University, told the meeting there is limited downward risk for durum prices, with the excep-

tion of two potential clouds: fiscal problems in Europe and the socalled fiscal cliff that the U.S. Congress needs to address by Jan.1.

“Underlying supply conditions for all of our major commodities are very positive right now. The downside risk in prices is limited, with the exception of these two things that are really outside the realm of agriculture,” Olson said.

“On a commodity standpoint, any hint of a recession or cutback on con-

sumer spending will put a negative tone into the commodity markets.”

Peterson said durum acres in the United States and Canada will fall more than 10 percent next year if the current price relationship with hard spring wheat holds.

“We’re already hearing of some early seed sales from guys that sell certified seed,” Peterson said.

“There is pretty strong interest in spring wheat from typical durum growers.”

Cash bids for durum and hard red spring wheat are about equal, at $8 to$8.25 per bu. in North Dakota and Montana.

Olson said durum is below spring wheat in terms of per acre profitability, which is below corn or soybeans.

“If you can raise a respectable crop of corn or soybeans, spring wheat runs a distant third and durum is below that,” Olson said.

Many producers want a premium for growing durum rather than spring wheat because of the increased risk in meeting the tight quality specifications, Peterson said.

“Most producers feel that with how small the U.S. durum crop was in 2011, and the potential trend for acres to be cut again next year in the U.S. and Canada, somewhere north of $10 a bushel is not too high, especially when you compare to corn at $5.50 and even winter wheat in the $8 to $9 range,” Peterson said.

The U.S. durum industry sees the potential to lose durum acres next year but has been getting the durum it needs so is reluctant to press the

market higher, he added.

“They seem to be waiting right before planting time,” Peterson said.

“If they feel they need more acres, they will step up and do more buying, but producers in the U.S. and Canada are locking in contracts and making seeding decisions certainly by the first of the year,” he said.

“It’s difficult to pick up significant acres with a price run right at planting.”

This year’s crop was generally high quality so there is little premium for protein.

Olson said there is a big difference in how Canadian and American durum is marketed. Seventy-eight of the crop is used domestically in the U.S., while 85 percent of Canada’s crop is exported.

“The U.S. is really a domestic driven market,” he said. “When millers and pasta companies start buying, that’s when we know there is some activity and their inventories are getting low.

Some Canadian durum does come into the States, but lots of it goes to other parts of the world like Europe and North Africa.”

Olson said Canadian producers will have to be aware of changing supply-demand conditions in the new open market.

“Canadian farmers are going to recognize that price movements can be fairly quick up or down.”

The durum market is small, he said, which leads to periods of volatility.

Bids can suddenly increase when a buyer needs to assemble a ship load for an export order.

Green pea price premium may flatten as yellows gain strength

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The enormous spread between green and yellow peas will narrow in the coming months as green prices fall and yellows rise, predicts a pulse analyst.

The average delivered elevator price for green peas in Saskatchewan was $12.25 per bushel as of Nov. 19, compared to $8.47 per bu. for yellows.

That works out to a spread of $3.78 per bu., largely due to a shortage of green pea production in Canada.

G re e n a n d y e l l o w p e a s w e re essentially parallel priced until November 2011, when it became clear Canada had harvested a disappointing crop.

“That’s when greens initially started to inch away and then eventually started to run away from yellows,” said Harold Davis, author of prairiecropcharts.com.

Stat Publishing said green pea prices are bolstered by a poor crop in A r g e nt i na, w h e re g row e r s a re expected to harvest 170,000 tonnes of green peas, down from pre-harvest forecasts of 200,000 tonnes.

There are concerns that only 30 percent of Argentina’s crop will be equivalent of a No. 2 grade in North America, with 41 percent destined for livestock feed or extremely price conscious markets.

Davis thinks the rapid run-up in

green prices could be coming to an end.

“They’re in a fast bull market and that’s often the prelude to topping action,” he said.

Larry Weber of Weber Commodities Ltd. agreed. He advises his subscribers to make certain their green peas are sold before Statistics Canada comes out with its first acreage estimate in April because growers will plant as much green pea seed as they can get their hands on.

Davis is bullish on yellow peas because they are such good value. At one point in late September, the crop was selling for the same price as feed peas f.o.b. farm in Saskatchewan.

“Since then, yellows have rebounded a little bit in prices whereas feed peas have gone sideways, so that spread has opened up a little bit,” he said.

The spread has grown to 73 cents a bu., and Davis expects it to continue to widen as yellow peas snap out of their slumber. Buyers have been holding off on purchases because of a currency crisis, but Canadian pulse

exporters say that situation is beginning to resolve itself.

“I would expect yellows at some point to reawaken and head to higher ground,” he said.

Fe e d p e a p r i c e s hav e ga i n e d strength from the runup in corn and soy meal markets, a result of the devastating U.S. drought. However, feed peas haven’t come off their highs the way corn and soybeans have.

Davis suspects feed pea prices will stay where they are for awhile, even if corn and soy meal prices rebound, because they didn’t cool off when the Chicago commodities did.

Chuck Penner of LeftField Commodity Research said feed peas are more closely tied to feed wheat prices.

“As long as feed wheat prices stay elevated, feed pea bids will remain firm and provide a floor for yellow edible prices,” he wrote in a recent edition of Alberta Pulse Growers’ Pulse Market Insight newsletter.

Penner said some Canadian peas are being shipped to Spain, where they will be used in the livestock industry. He said the strong demand for feed peas is alleviating concerns about the potential for weaker pea

demand from India.

“This market environment suggests that Indian pea prices will not be setting direction this year as they normally do,” he wrote. “That’s a good thing since prices in India are looking kind of saggy right now.”

Future rosy for some, not for others

Dairy culls make India leading beef exporter

Feedlots, packers suffer | Small calf supply, high feed price will hurt STORIES BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Next year could be the worst of times or the best of times for the North American beef industry, depending on the sector.

The cow-calf sector may enjoy record prices, but ongoing drought in the United States and escalating feed grain prices could drive other sectors further into the red.

Calf prices could hit record levels next year, said Duane Lenz, market analyst with Cattlefax based in Denver, Colorado.

“We look for record high prices next year. That could be the cyclical top,” he said at the Canfax market forum in Calgary Nov. 14.

“Cattle prices cannot continue to go up forever. At some point gravity will take hold.”

To get stronger calf prices would require a break in the U.S. drought.

Pastures must recover to give producers confidence to buy calves.

Cattlefax expects 550 pound steers to average $185 per hundredweight next year, exceeding this year’s average of $168. Feeders weighing 750 lb. could go as high as $160 per cwt. with an average for the year of $147.

Finished cattle prices could be higher than $130 per cwt., which would be a record and likely short lived. Fed cattle averaged $95 per cwt. in 2010.

However, corn prices could average $6.20 per bushel next year with peaks a dollar higher.

Feedlots will suffer as feed supplies tighten and competition grows for a small calf supply. American feedlots already have too many open pens and are losing about $150 per head.

“We will start to lose some yards, unfortunately,” he said.

Packers may close because they also face excess capacity and large losses. Some wondered if XL Foods in Brooks, Alta., would be the next casualty, but JBS-USA taking over its management means it is likely to survive.

Calf prices next year will get a boost if U.S. pastures recover from this year’s drought. | It is becoming increasingly difficult to predict prices because only 30 percent of U.S. cattle are now traded on the cash market. The rest are sold on contract or managed through alternative marketing agreements.

As well, record prices do not guarantee profits. Industry players must find ways to protect themselves against this risk and volatility, said Canfax manager Brian Perillat.

Canadian markets reflect what happens in the U.S., but Perillat said prices here are not likely to be as high because of a wide basis that has dogged the business all year.

Finished cattle prices were mostly flat this year with no spring rally.

The last strong year was 2001, when fed cattle fetched $121 per cwt.

Markets were volatile with fed cattle prices moving as much as $40 per head from one day to the next.

There is 30 percent excess capacity in western Canadian feedlots, where losses hit as much as $200 per head.

The basis spread between Alberta and Nebraska cash prices has been wider than normal and can cost Canadians up to $50 per head.

Perillat predicts an average of $122

per cwt. for fed cattle in Canada next year, assuming a par dollar with average basis levels. Summer lows will be $110 to $115.

Calves 550 pounds averaged $151 per cwt. this year and there could still be a record price in November once the final numbers are crunched.

Cow prices are strengthening. XL Foods processed a lot of cows so its closure drove down prices this fall.

XL Foods’ closure because of E. coli contamination forced producers to find alternative markets for their cattle. Cargill Meat Solutions at High River, Alta., increased its kill capacity and more cattle went to the U.S. Fed cattle exports reached 16,000 per week in October while XL Foods was closed, up from a normal 4,000.

Perillat said the signals are encouraging cow-calf producers to start expanding, but that may not be evident until 2015.

Canada lost a quarter of its herd in the last seven years, but there was a small uptick in cow numbers in the last inventory report. A few more heifers were retained, but the population remains flat.

“It is critical that our industry starts

to turn this corner,” he said.

Producers remain cautious because profits have been elusive.

In the U.S., expansion depends on the drought ending. Producers may consider expansion if there is water and grass next year, but cow slaughter will go up if it is another dry year.

“If we come into another year of drought, that cow slaughter will be different because we have nowhere to go with cows. They will have to come to town to be slaughtered,” he said.

However, Perillat anticipates profitability in the cow-calf sector and thinks producers would consider keeping heifers for breeding, not slaughter, if conditions are good.

There were 35.5 million cows in the U.S. in 1996. That has since dropped to 29.7 million.

However, carcass weights are growing , making up for fewer cows.

The average carcass will be 833 lb. next year compared to 670 lb. in 1980 because of more productive cows and growth promotants.

“Increasing weights offset 75 percent of the declining cow herd over the last 20 years,” Lenz said.

CANFAX MARKET FORUM | EXPORTS

Beef sector relies on increasing global markets The Canadian beef industry is shrinking, but it continues to punch above its weight class.

But with declining beef consumption at home, hopes for expansion depend largely on export success.

“Canada is a relatively small player in the export market with only about two percent of the global beef cow inventories,” said Andrea Brocklebank, head of research for Canfax.

While Canada places only ninth globally in the size of its cow inventory, it is the world’s fifth largest beef exporter, shipping out 44 percent of production as beef and live cattle.

Per capita beef consumption fell to 20 kilograms per year, down from about 25 kg in 1980.

Poultry consumption is steady and pork is falling.

ANDREA BROCKLEBANK CANFAX

Canada imports more than a quarter of its beef, especially for manufacturing quality and some middle meat when there is a deficit.

The United States is the primary export destination. Twenty eight percent of Canadian beef goes to the U.S. but that makes up only three percent of America’s total supply.

“We are not a major supplier to this market when you look at the big picture,” Brocklebank said.

Twenty-five percent of Canadian beef goes to California’s Hispanic communities looking for leaner beef.

Mexico and Hong Kong are Canada’s second and third largest beef markets, respectively.

Russia has imported various cuts and offal in the past.

Moscow has invested heavily in the pork and poultry industries and is focusing more on dairy production than beef. Most beef is a byproduct of dairy production.

The government has said it wants to be self sufficient in beef by 2020.

“We haven’t seen the growth that matches with that policy,” she said.

“The big question is if the government were to actually pursue that, what would it actually do.”

Japan was once a promising market, but consumption is flat. The economy is stagnant and beef is more expensive than other meats.

“The return to beef may not be as ambitious as we once thought.”

Canadian beef exports to Japan might improve if that countr y changed its food safety rule to accept beef from cattle younger than 30 months rather than 21 months, Brocklebank said.

South Korea granted Canada access earlier this year. Beef consumption is up and the herd is shrinking, which encourages imports.

However, the U.S. saturated the market when it signed a free trade agre ement earlier in the year.

Canada struggles without a similar agreement.

Th e glo ba l beef indu str y ha s changed a lot in the last five years as India unexpectedly emerged as a major exporter.

“It is number four and could move up to number one or two very shortly and this is not going to diminish,” said A n d re a B ro c k l e b a n k , h e a d o f research for Canfax.

Most Indian beef comes from water buffalo and dairy cattle. Southeast Asia and the North Africa-Middle East regions are India’s main beef export markets, she said at Canfax’s market forum in Calgary Nov. 14.

Australia, the United States and Brazil are the top three exporters.

Canada is in fifth place.

Much of the growth in India is driven by increased milk production. The National Dairy Plan calls for milk production to increase by six million tonnes a year for the next five years.

Twelve new meat processing plants are being built to handle the extra production. India’s biggest challenge is foot-and-mouth disease, which is controlled with vaccination. This affects market access.

Brocklebank said the world’s cattle herds are shrinking and the beef supply has declined for 10 years.

“There is an expectation in 2013 that the cattle inventories will decline a bit more, but it definitely has levelled off,” she said.

Population sparks demand GIRA, the international data group, predicts a good future for the beef industry because of a growing world population and improved incomes. It projects a six percent increase in global beef consumption over the next 10 years.

However, Brocklebank said bad weather and unexpected economic disruptions may play havoc with some of the projections.

Food market analyst David Hughes of the Imperial College of London said perspective is needed when talking about global meat markets.

Global meat consumption rose by 16 million tonnes between 2007 and 2012. However, 10 million tonnes of that growth was for chicken.

Growth is slow in mature markets such as Canada, the U.S. and the European Union, but this is where the wealthiest consumers live and they are likely to spend more on meat, even if they buy less.

“The big spenders on groceries are all in the developed world,” he said.

Marketers need to study the demographics of an aging population with smaller households and fewer babies. The last census showed more than half of Canadian households comprise one or two people. In the United Kingdom, 65 percent of households are this small.

Plans to sell more to Japan should be reassessed. Japan has 130 million people, but by 2050, close to 40 percent of the population will be older than 65. Seniors tend to have less money and eat less.

China is a growing economy but it would be unwise to over rely on it, he said.

MARKET RALLY | DROUGHT

Canola, soybeans give back gains won this year Reversal of fortune for oilseeds | Sad situation for farmers who held onto oilseeds, hoping for tight stocks and strong demand

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

So much for the myth of rock-solid vegetable oil demand turning canola and soybeans into the big price queens of late 2012.

The two crops have given back all the gains they won in this year’s rally sparked by the U.S. Midwest drought.

January canola futures are struggling to stay above $13 per bushel and soybean futures have fallen to less than $14 per bu.

At the same time, spring wheat futures are still 15 percent above where they were before the drought and corn is 40 percent higher.

It’s a sad situation for farmers who hung onto their oilseeds, expecting that tight stocks and strong demand would lift values higher.

“I’m a little surprised that we’ve been able to push below $14 here,” said analyst Rich Nelson of Allendale, Inc. of McHenry, Illinois.

“In the big picture, the prospect of demand staying this strong was maybe a little too optimistic.”

North America’s oilseed markets were rocked by news last week that 10 export shipments of U.S. soybeans had been cancelled. That destroyed the assumption of many analysts, traders and farmers that while crop buyers could cut back on cereal grains, they would not reduce oilseed purchases regardless of the high prices.

The remaining bullish wind whis-

tled out of the oilseed markets and made it appear on the charts as if the Midwest drought had never occurred.

Analyst Greg Kostal of Kostal Ag Consulting in Winnipeg said this is a story of North American oilseeds being way out of whack with the world market.

“We’re reminded once again that canola is simply another oilseedconsuming choice,” said Kostal.

Palm oil has been trading at a $250 to $300 per tonne discount to canola oil and soybean oil, and that can’t go on forever. “ T hat ha s s o m e i n c re m e nt a l demand-changing behavior down the road,” said Kostal.

Canadian export sales statistics aren’t as available or current as U.S. soybean numbers, but Kostal said he’s hearing that weakness is also appearing in overseas canola demand.

“The initiation of new export business has significantly slowed down,” said Kostal.

“We’re just executing old business and the bulk of (present canola sales) is in the domestic crush.”

News of improving growing conditions in South America are allowing anxious importers to back away from the U.S. market when planning late winter buying, with China expected to switch to cheaper South American soybeans when they become available.

Kostal said the incoming Australian canola crop will probably pick up the

remaining demand from Dubai and Pakistan that Canadian canola exporters had hoped to capture.

Nelson said he believes soybean and corn prices have hit near-term bottoms that will hold until January, when the U.S. Department of Agriculture releases a much-watched summary report.

Soybeans might not be hurt by the report, but Nelson expects corn and cereals to fall once the slump in demand that is now being seen commercially is reflected in official statistics.

“We tend to think we have a shortterm bottom for the next month,

month and a half, but we certainly feel there is still further (for corn) to go (down) once the USDA January report is out of the way,” he said.

CANFAX REPORT FED CATTLE LOWER The beef plant at Brooks, Alta., operated but was not allowed to export to the United States.

Weighted average steers for last week were $113.93 in light to moderate trade, down 14 cents, and heifers were $113.80, down 74 cents.

Most dressed trade was at $191 delivered.

Canadian packer buying was disciplined but bids edged higher toward the end of the week.

There was U.S. packer interest.

Canadian cattle that sold on a cash basis to the U.S. fetched a premium over local trade.

Inventories are current, which allowed feedlots to reject some sales, creating a moderate carryover into this week.

Sales volume totalled 16,656, up seven percent from the previous week.

The Alberta fed cash-to-futures basis weakened $1.32 to close at -$11.97. The basis is in line with the five-year average.

Weekly fed exports to Nov. 3 totalled 13,765, down 10 percent from the previous week.

C a rc a s s w e i g h t s m i g h t h av e peaked. Western Canadian weights have fallen by 15 to 24 pounds over the past two weeks.

Market-ready supplies in Western Canada will be flat until December.

U.S. supply might increase as cattle placed during the summer drought reach market weight.

COW PRICES RISE D1, D2 cows were $60-$73 per hundredweight to average $66.28. D3 cows were $52-$66 to average $58.83.

Prices were up about 75 cents.

Dressed prices trended higher on moderate demand to $129-$134.

Butcher bulls held mostly steady to average $76.33.

Weekly western Canadian cow slaughter to Nov. 10 rose 14 percent to 4,499 head.

Weekly exports to Nov. 3 rose three percent to 6,647 head.

Non-fed supply should remain manageable. Seasonally, demand is expected to improve.

Anxiety is building as feedlots deliberate whether to fill pens or simply pay the tax man.

Strong interest is expected to continue for light stockers as crop farmers with strong revenue buy short keep backgrounders.

BEEF WEAKENS U.S. beef cutouts fell with the Choice composite down a little and Select down more than $2.75 US. Canadian cut-out values were down sharply with AAA more than $7.50 Cdn lower and AA down $4 compared to the previous week.

CATTLE IN U.S. FEEDLOTS DIP The number of cattle placed in U.S. feedlots in October was down 13 percent from last year in the same month.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s cattle-on-feed report Nov. 16 pegged placements at 2.18 million head, down for a fifth straight month and the smallest in 16 years for the month.

Analysts had expected a 12.6 percent drop in placements. The number of cattle in feedlots Nov. 1 was 11.254 million, down five percent

from the year-ago total.

Analysts expected a 5.3 percent decline.

Marketings in October were up three percent from a year earlier to 1.837 million head versus expectations of a 2.5 percent increase.

The report was viewed as neutral to mildly supportive for cattle futures.

GRAIN DEALERS | BOND PROTECTION

CRAIG’S VIEW

Payment guarantee system essential to protect farmers

M

any in the grain industry are raising questions about the value in forcing grain dealers to post bonds to ensure farmers are paid when companies become insolvent.

They are right to do so.

The Conser vative government ’s strong-arm tactics in rushing its lengthy and complex budget through Parliament without allowing enough time for proper oversight are troublesome, but the part of the bill that would change the Canada Grain Act should not be dismissed.

The act now requires grain dealers to post bonds as insurance should they ever declare bankruptcy or seek protection from creditors.

This bonding system adds onerous costs into the system, tying up muchneeded capital that could be better invested elsewhere. And there are serious doubts as to how effective it is in protecting farmers anyway.

There have been several situations in the past in which bonds held by insolvent companies have fallen short of the amounts needed to pay money owed to farmers.

In some cases, farmers have been forced to accept payments worth only cents on the dollar for amounts owed.

It’s time to explore other options.

Having grain dealers take out private insurance offers one potential solution.

This eliminates the need for companies to have a pool of money set aside at the ready for a bond.

By most insider accounts, insurance would cost only a fraction of what companies now put up in the bonding system.

This type of change has raised questions in the agriculture sector about who will pay the costs of the premiums.

There are fears that grain companies would pass along the insurance costs to farmers.

In reality, however, farmers are already paying those costs.

As astute business operators, it’s safe to assume grain companies have found

ways to ensure that their operating costs, including bonding expenses, are covered in their fees and payment schedules.

In fact, with a more effective and lower cost insurance scheme, farmers could become beneficiaries of some of the efficiencies.

Clearing-house option Another option being circulated to reduce risk in grain sales is a clearinghouse model, similar to what is used at many stock and commodity exchanges.

These systems safely manage millions of dollars in deals between buyers and sellers, and there is every reason to believe that a properly constructed and managed system would work effectively for farmers delivering grain.

A clearing house is a neutral entity that settles trading accounts, clears trades and regulates delivery and payments. It acts as third party guarantor.

At futures exchanges, all members are required at the end of each day to clear their trades and post enough money to cover their deals. The clearing house is responsible for fulfillment of all contracts.

The finer details of how this type of system would work for grain deliveries would have to be worked out, but it is not difficult to see how something similar could fit the bill.

One possible drawback of whatever system is in place is that farmers would have a learning curve while they adjust.

However, proper business practices, as well as awareness campaigns to ensure farmers know how best to protect themselves, should address those issues.

Making the system mandatory for deals above a certain value would further ensure farmers aren’t left out of pocket.

There seems to be little to lose.

GRAIN INDUSTRY | CHANGES

In an era of major grain industry change, one issue appears to have vanished NATIONAL VIEW

BARRY WILSON

S

cores of heavy hitters from the grain industry are meeting at a downtown Ottawa hotel this week to celebrate “the dawn of a new era in Canada’s grain industry.”

Who could argue?

It has been a tumultuous year in the grain industry, particularly on the Prairies: the most dramatic in decades if not the last half-century or more.

The CWB monopoly is gone after 69

years, the century-old Canadian Grain Commission is about to undergo a dramatic change in how it does business with more to come and changes to the variety registration system are on the radar.

So when the Canadian Grains Council/Grain Growers of Canada industry symposium opens this week, there is much on the plate. It has become the go-to national grain conference.

A who’s who of the industry gathers, from the CWB and private grain company executives to trade negotiators, biofuel analysts and experts on government policy.

A full plate of issues, you might say.

Well, not quite.

One of the key issues the industry has lobbied for over the years, an issue that has been featured at previous conferences, appears to be

absent this year.

What ever happened to the promised federal legislation to legislate rail service standards for shippers?

It seems to have fallen off the agenda.

For more than a year, transport minister Denis Lebel has had a report on the rail service issue that indicates deep industry unhappiness about service and railway opposition to new regulations.

For five months, the minister has had a report from former Alberta finance minister Jim Dinning, who recommended the two sides try to work things out through voluntary service agreements but who also acknowledged deep divisions.

At the time, Lebel urged voluntary agreement but made it clear that legislation was in the works as a backstop to make sure carriers played by

the rules.

In June, Coalition of Rail Shippers chair Bob Ballantyne said the government had given notice that legislation was in the works. Shippers who a r g u e t hat t h e p ow e r b a l a n c e between carriers and shippers is too one-sided to produce a functional voluntary service agreement system were told to get their comments in by the end of July.

“We expect legislation in the fall for sure,” he said in late June.

Yet with the autumn session of Parliament due to end in three weeks, there has been no government indication of impending legislation.

Regina Liberal MP Ralph Goodale can say he told us so.

In the summer, the former agriculture minister predicted that railway lobbyists would use the summer to

“stifle” any government move to create legislation.

“They clearly hope this will go away.”

As a veteran of railway lobbying during 13 years in Liberal governments, Goodale said the railways will try to delay legislation until the government loses interest.

Lebel has three weeks to prove Goodale wrong, but so far he has shown little public interest in the file.

And the grain industry meeting doesn’t even have it on the agenda.

Perhaps organizers know that legislation is pending, but then wouldn’t the shipper meeting be a perfect place to announce it?

Rail service seems to be a file that has slid off the radar of government priorities, which is odd for a government with a strong rural base.

& OPEN FORUM B.T. CORN | GM VERSUS ORGANIC

VALUE-ADDED | PUBLIC MONEY

You can eat your bugs — and toxins, too

BY CAMI RYAN AND ROB WAGER

S

cience has led to increases in farm productivity and has helped farmers protect the environment. That’s why it’s such a shame when good science is maligned and poorly executed pseudoscience gets the spotlight.

In his opinion piece Eat GM Corn?

I’d Rather Eat Bugs, (Nov. 9th), NDP MP Alex Atamanenko delivers loads of misleading information. Here are a few counterpoints.

Atamanenko says he’d rather eat bugs than B.t. corn, but fungal toxins, called fumoninins that follow bug damage on corn is a real health concern.

Medical science has documented that fumonisin toxins can have devastating effects on a developing human fetus by blocking folic acid metabolism.

Lack of folic acid can lead to terrible spinal cord defects in the baby.

Research has been clear that B.t. corn has far less fumonisin than nonB.t. corn. A 2005 study in Italy found 100 times lower fumonisin B1 levels in B.t. corn grown directly beside non-B.t. corn.

In 2003, Great Britain’s Food Standards Agency examined 30 corn imports, six of which were organic corn imports. All six organic corn imports failed the proposed standard for fumonisin toxin. One had a toxin level almost 30 times the limit of 500 parts per million.

It is quite evident that B.t. corn has significantly safer levels of fumonisin.

Based on this fact alone, we are safer eating the GM corn than “the bugs.”

Researchers take issue with an opinion piece slamming GM corn, saying it misrepresented good science and promoted a poor study. | FILE PHOTO However, Atamanenko can still choose the bugs, if he wishes, by eating organic corn where reduced toxin GM corn is prohibited.

And how about industry and regulation? Industry manages trials and testing of new crop varieties based on guidelines developed by Environment Canada, Health Canada and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. It must adhere to strict science-based protocols.

It’s important to note that industry doesn’t pay for “approvals” but bears the cost of all trials and tests. The alternative is for taxpayers to foot the bill.

However, does Atamanenko sup-

port providing the tax funds?

Atamanenko refers to a recent scientific study, calling it “damning” evidence on the safety of GM foods.

If anything, this study is a “damning” example of poorly executed science.

Gilles-Eric Séralini in France claimed that rats fed genetically modified corn or exposed to glyphosate suffered tumours and multiple organ damage.

But the real scientists, including those in Europe, immediately refuted these claims.

Séralini’s study was more an exercise in media manipulation than an

example of rigorous scientific work.

Using a well-constructed public relations strategy and backed by antiGM organizations, Séralini pushed this study into the media spotlight along with his personal agenda.

It’s no coincidence that he launched an anti-GM book and a movie that same week. It appears as if the goal of the study was to “prove” something rather than to objectively “investigate” something.

There are key problems with this study: • Séralini did not disclose that the rat breed used as a model for the study had a genetic pre-disposition for getting tumours.

• Séralini refused to release the methods and data that allow other scientists to replicate the work.

Independent research scientists — “real” scientists, not lobbyists — and reputable food safety organizations have discredited the Séralini study, pointing out its many flaws. In short, Séralini’s work is an example of how “bad science” can get “good legs” in the media.

Atamanenko takes a biased position here, misrepresenting good science and promoting poor science.

It’s just politically motivated propaganda. We think that Canadian farmers and consumers deserve to know the facts.

INDUSTRY OUTLOOK | PREDICTIONS

Crystal ball delivers cloudy picture of ag future HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

A

s a consultant- journalist-farmer, I’ve offered lots of opinions over the years. Looking back, some have been spectacularly wrong.

Farmers naturally want analysis of the current trends in the industry, but they also want to hear extrapolations in an attempt to understand how the future might unfold.

In the late 1990s, before PowerPoint presentations were reliable, I trucked an overhead projector to scores of farm meetings. One of my favourite pages listed the Top 10 uses for abandoned grain terminals.

You could use the side of a terminal for a drive-in theatre screen. You could use them for bungee jumping.

You could grind them up into aggregate for use on gravel roads.

Those were the years of Saskatchewan Wheat Pool’s Project Horizon.

New concrete elevators were going up everywhere. Other companies were also in the game and lots of farmer-owned terminals were being built.

I bought shares in a farmer-owned terminal, but when competitors built six new concrete terminals in the area, I didn’t think there would be enough export grain to see them all thrive.

As the big concrete and steel terminals went up, the old wooden elevators came down, but it appeared that the grain handling system was being dramatically overbuilt. After all, the big terminals need a lot of throughput to make them viable.

At the time, it seemed plausible that Western Canada was going to see reduced grain exports. Being landlocked, our freight bill to port position puts us at a disadvantage compared to most competitors. Farmland was being converted to hay and pasture because cattle were profit-

able and grain was not.

Besides, I reasoned, our crop mix was going to be more heavily weighted to specialty grain that wouldn’t go through large concrete terminals.

And more of our grain would be fed to livestock or receive secondary processing on the Prairies. That seemed logical given the end of the Crow rate grain transportation subsidy.

The trouble with predictions is that you don’t know what you don’t know.

Who could have predicted BSE in 2003 and the years of resulting turmoil in the beef industry? Even though profitability has finally returned to the cow-calf industry, the beef breeding herd has continued to decline.

Who could have predicted so many tough years for the hog industry?

Rather than a Top 10 list for abandoned grain terminals, it should have been a list of uses for abandoned hog barns.

Canola crushing has been Western Canada’s largest success in adding value. About half of the canola crop goes to domestic crushers, but there’s still ample grain volume

through the big terminals. Field peas used to be reserved for specialty crop operations, but many terminals now handle peas. Some even export red lentils.

Crop yields continue to grow, and we’re using more crop inputs than ever. The industry is enjoying its greatest profitability since the 1970s.

There aren’t any abandoned concrete terminals. Anyone wanting to sell a terminal would have lots of suitors.

These days, farm audiences want to know the future of land prices. Are the increases sustainable? What will happen with interest rates? Will the growing world population and the increased purchasing power of emerging economies propel grain prices to new heights?

Definitely older and possibly more humble, my opinions are more subdued these days. There are lots of factors to analyze and pontificate over, but the future is often fraught with surprises.

Good times roll for value-added businesses EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

JOANNE PAULSON, EDITOR

W

e recently published an oped by Michael Holden with the Canada West Foundation, who asked why we always talk about diversification when times are bad.

Excellent question. We should be talking about it when times are good, when stuff like building buildings and buying machinery is actually affordable.

Therefore, points go to the Saskatchewan government for discussing value-adding now, when agriculture has become ascendant and is even quite sexy. Sexy industries attract investment; moribund ones, not so much.

Premier Brad Wall, in his vision for the province, said he wants ag exports to rise to $15 billion by 2020, up from $10 billion today. To achieve these stellar numbers, he wants to see investment in research and innovation, irrigation and value-added processing.

The government has committed $20 million toward research in its latest budget, up 50 percent since 2007.

About $30 million from both levels of government has gone into irrigation.

Value-adding, however, apart from a couple of programs such as Saskatchewan Agri-Value Initiative for smaller businesses, receives little direct money.

After a recent speech delivered to the Greater Saskatoon Chamber of Commerce, agriculture minister Lyle Stewart noted that most value-added investment would come from business. Government support is likely to come through tax relief and infrastructure. It might be the right approach. Past public sector investments into hogs and potatoes have certainly gone awry, at least from a taxpayer’s perspective.

And, as Stewart rightly points out, there is more value-added business in Saskatchewan than ever before, notably canola crushers and pulse processors. Cargill, for example, hardly needs pittances from the government to support its business plans.

Such value-added initiatives have indeed come from industry, although if Keith Downey and his crew had not created canola, there would be nothing to add value to. If you look at it that way, investing in research and waiting for business to commercialize the product makes sense.

However, while agriculture in Saskatchewan is sexy right now, so it is in Manitoba, Alberta and the United States. Saskatchewan may have to be aggressive — and innovative — in attracting more value-added investment dollars.

I noticed your recent articles about mega-farms. We have them here, too.

The inheritance tax was written to control them; it didn’t. Either some drastic measures must be taken or revolutions may result. Going back in history, mega-farms contributed to most of the revolutions I studied in history.

We will start with the French Revolution. Most of the good farmland was owned by the rich, mostly kings’ favourites. The work was done by the serfs. If the land was sold, the serf was sold, too. The owners mostly lived in cities and never went near the farms

except to hunt or collect rents.

Some big plantation owners lived in England before the American Revolution. Most of them weren’t broken up at the end of the war as there was a lot of open land. For the most part, the absentee landlords were replaced.

The Irish Revolution was another.

The communist takeover was made much easier as the Russian nobility owned much of the land as megafarms. That was so common a poet wrote a poem about it, Noblesse Oblige. Its theme was the owners were not productive, as they did no work.

The landowners were not productive, and only babies have the right to produce nothing, was the only line I

remember from that poem.

Unless my memory fails me, a Canadian landowner has to live in Canada, be a citizen of Canada, or if he is not a citizen, have citizenship applied for, and follow through in a reasonable length of time. I know four people who lost their Canadian land because of this law, or so they said. Three of them are dead.

Yes, mega-farms are a problem to Canada, but no match for the ones in the U.S. Our farm program helps the big farmers more than the mediumsized ones. I think it is a good time to be old if you are a U.S. citizen.

And then, we have the death tax. It really is hard to pay for the farm every generation. What is wrong with the death tax is the rich people don’t

LEADING US WHERE? To the Editor: I never thought I’d say this, but I may be lucky to be living in a riding represented by a member of Parliament on the government side — Conservative Robert Sopuck, Dauphin-Swan RiverMarquette — after all.

I say this because the government Mr. Sopuck represents, under Stephen Harper, has decided the Assiniboine River, one of millions of lakes, rivers and streams in Canada, is among the very few designated as protected under its new Navigation Protection Act. It happens to flow through Mr. Sopuck’s riding, not far from where I live.

This protection means that ice fishers, anglers and pleasure boaters will keep their historic right, which dates back to Sir John A. (Macdonald) himself, to navigate the river without being obstructed by any more bridges, mining or forestry equipment, pipelines or dams.

At least, any proposed new infrastructure of this kind will need a permit from Ottawa. That apparently won’t be the case for all those unprotected waterways. They, by contrast, will be wide open for business. And, according to the opposition, the vast majority of those are said to fall within non-government ridings.

So, as you may have guessed by now, I speak with tongue in cheek.

In fact, this kind of thing simply reeks of patronage, cynicism and hypocrisy — a shoddy new low, even for the Harperites.

It exposes for all to see that the “cloak of green” Mr. Sopuck likes to put on to cleverly disguise himself as an environmentalist is now threadbare — as is Mr. Harper’s pledge in his election victory speech to be “a leader for all Canadians.”

MEAT CHOICES To the Editor: On a recent trip to a grocery store in Morinville, Alta., I observed a lady next to me buying two dozen or more packages of wieners. The cashier asked if they were on sale, since she had so many.

“No,� was her reply. “They are for the local food bank�.

Just recently, Wildrose party leader Danielle Smith was in trouble for suggesting that surely some of the recalled beef from XL Foods could have been salvaged and, if cooked properly, could have been used to feed the hungry.

Which is worse — feeding the poor hot dogs, i.e. wieners, laced with chemicals and nitrates and nitrites, which can cause colon and other cancers, or recalled beef, provided it is cooked properly? Not all the recalled beef was contaminated with E. coli and it could have been tested, I’m sure.

On CBC’s Marketplace program Oct. 26, they were testing tenderized roasts and steaks done mechanically and they were laden with E. coli because these machines are impossible to sanitize, yet none of this meat states on the packaging wheth-

er or not it has been tenderized. It’s like playing Russian roulette buying fresh meat in any grocery chain in Canada.

That’s why I buy privately from a farm growing and cutting its own naturally grass-fed animals.

operatives, such as the late, once highly respected wheat pools.

Aside from the fact that farmers are often their own worst enemies, there have been many dirty tricks pulled on all facets of farming these last few years, and this will likely continue since the few farmers left have little political power and little cohesiveness.

AUCTION TAX? To the Editor: Recently I attended an auction, and did a substantial amount of business with the auction company of the day.

Upon payment, they charged me an “administrative fee.� That’s what they

call it. I prefer to call it a tax on doing business with them.

Yes, I was aware of the fee, for they had a very considerate employee point it out to me upon registration.

That is not the point.

The point is the fee itself, and the audacity of a business to charge it to their customer. Fathom this: a person going into a Canadian Tire, Wal-Mart or local Co-op, doing $5, $10, $50 or maybe $200,000 worth of business, and then being charged an administrative fee at the till.

Solution: What if you called an auction and nobody came? It would seem this may be occurring, for during a year with relatively good yields and record high prices, there was a small crowd. It would seem they stayed home.

I will be joining them.

T

he men in one small community looked forward to the seasonal bake sale at the church.

They knew the ladies had a table full of goodies set aside just for them. Through the years, they knew that Sarah made the best molasses cookies, Nellie’s cheese moons just couldn’t be beat and Dorothy’s syrup tarts were to die for.

The ladies knew that the best way to the men’s hearts, and pocketbooks, was through these delectable offerings. This was a most successful enterprise.

The Sunday school fundraiser was a rollicking success. Youth group members and their dads were in the basement working on a nativity display. Upstairs they had a comic book and toy exchange and offered to help the elderly collect the mail, get groceries and shovel their walks.

The tea-drinking guests quickly offered to help as young servers tried to get the full cups of tea to their guests without spills.

Meanwhile, a few young enthusiasts set out down main street to button-hole everyone with the query, “have you made your donation at the hall yet?� At another event, the youth group asked for a table so they could sell the bag of “popsicle plant-holders� they made. One salesman, looking rather bored, quietly watched folks drift by the table. Passersby convinced themselves they could support the kids by buying a couple of the $5 items. By the end of the afternoon the storage bag was empty, and the kids were $250 richer.

Dare we think beyond the immediate? Such community-building happenings instill a new sense of vitality and remind us of the resources that are too often hidden in plain view.

KEYSTONE AGRICULTURAL PRODUCERS | PROPOSED ASSOCIATION

Manitoba growers surveyed on commodity group preferences Joint or separate organizations? | Steering committee consults farmers on proposed wheat and barley growers association

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

The leaders of a proposed wheat and barley growers association in Manitoba will soon know if farmers want one or two organizations to represent cereal producers in the province.

A steering committee led by Keystone Agricultural Producers sent a survey to 500 Manitoba growers this fall on the proposed association, said James Battershill, KAP policy analyst, who is leading the development of the new organization.

The survey results are expected in

December and if a sufficient number of growers support the concept of a dual association, the organization could begin collecting a checkoff by Aug. 1, 2013.

At this point, it’s not known if growers want a joint association or two separate organizations for wheat and barley, Battershill said.

Speaking to 25 producers at a KAP meeting in Brandon in midNovember, Battershill said a growers association is needed to ensure that Manitoba producers have a say in breeding programs and varietal development for wheat and barley.

For example, Manitoba wheat growers need more varieties with fusarium resistance, he said.

However, the mandate of the proposed wheat and barley association, assuming growers support a joint organization, is not defined, Battershill said.

“Were not entirely comfortable making statements (on) exactly what this organization is going to do,” he said. “That’s going to be up to the interim board of directors, who represent the growing industry as a whole.”

If the survey results are positive, the steering committee will appoint an

interim board of directors for the association. The board will define the organization’s structure and priorities, Battershill said.

At an Oct. 25 KAP meeting in Portage la Prairie, some producers raised concerns about the mandate of the proposed organization. They said growers associations often start out dispersing check-off dollars but evolve into agricultural lobby groups.

Battershill has heard the concerns but it’s not easy to draw a clear distinction between lobbying and dispersing check-off dollars to research and market development.

“In terms of being an aggressive

lobby group, the way KAP is, I don’t think it’s ever envisioned that any of the commodity groups would be pursuing that explicitly,” he said. “In terms of market development… (there) is a huge element that crosses the line into the policy realm.…. In the absence of the Canadian Wheat Board representing all western Canadian wheat and barley producers, there is a void there for international market development.”

At the KAP meeting in Brandon, Battershill provided a few possible figures for the checkoffs, such as 52 cents per tonne for wheat and 44 cents per tonne for barley.

The federal and provincial governments kicked off Canadian Western Agribition Nov. 19 by announcing several financial commitments to the annual Regina show and officially opening a refurbished commercial cattle barn.

David Anderson, parliamentary secretary to the federal natural resources minister and for the Canadian Wheat Board, said $147,000 through the AgriMarketing Program would help the show promote itself in foreign markets and beef up its International Business Centre.

He also announced $100,000 under the Livestock Auction Traceability Initiative “to assist show organizers to track movement of livestock.”

The money is used to ensure all animals at Agribition have radio frequency identification tags and that their movement entering and leaving the show is tracked with mobile readers.

Anderson said Canada is a leader in traceability and the practice is critical to maintaining international market access.

The Saskatchewan government announced $56,000 for Agribition’s new Incoming Buyers Program. The money comes from the agriculture ministry’s International Market Development Program.

Agriculture minister Lyle Stewart said the money, which leveraged additional support from the Alberta Livestock and Meat Agency and the Canadian Beef Breeds Council for a total $111,500, will provide travel incentives for international guests.

He said the government recently announced its intention to increase exports to $15 billion by 2020 and Agribition has a role to play in that.

Helping pre-qualified buyers with up to 50 percent of their costs of getting to the show is well worth it, he said.

“This show generates about $27 million a year usually,” Stewart said.

“Other major shows of this magnitude have similar programs.”

About 140,000 people attend the show each year. More than 800 international visitors from 70 countries are expected this year.

CANADIAN WESTERN AGRIBITION | BISON MARKETING

Producers told to zero in on chefs to get bison on menu Educate restaurants and hotels | Chef says bison could be a hot item if health benefits are properly marketed

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Saskatoon chef Anthony McCarthy waved a glossy brochure in front of the room full of bison producers and wondered why he’d never seen it before.

If people like him, who know how to prepare bison and can introduce it to new consumers through restaurants, haven’t seen the professionally done brochures and recipe cards, then who has, he asked the Canadian Bison Association’s annual convention in Regina Nov. 18.

“You’ve done the homework,” he said. “You’ve spent the money.”

The Canadian restaurant industry does $63 billion in annual sales, or almost four percent of the country’s economic activity, McCarthy said.

Hot trends include locally sourced, sustainably produced food that is simple and can be farm-branded.

“There’s no reason why bison couldn’t be a hot trend,” he said.

However, when he informally surveyed 15 chefs across Canada, not one of them said they included bison cuts on their regular menus. Some of them occasionally feature bison as a premium product.

He said the chefs he talked to identified several benefits of bison meat: • it is lean and healthy • customers like it • it adds to the demand for local product • it is a beef alternative McCarthy, who is executive chef at the Saskatoon Club, said there is also a move toward what he calls rustic or artisan food such as stew. Bison is a good fit for that type of meal.

He said the chefs he talked to identified the biggest issues as price and availability of fresh product.

He called his own suppliers and none of those he deals with had bison meat.

Saskatchewan producer Hubert Esquirol said he understood that

SHOOTING | CATTLE

Six cows shot in southern Saskatchewan SASKATOON NEWSROOM

RCMP are investigating after five cows were shot dead and a sixth wounded near Saltcoats, Sask., on the weekend.

Police received the report of the dead cattle from an area farmer in the early afternoon of Nov. 18.

According to a news release, the owner of the cattle pegged their value at $10,000.

Members of the Yorkton RCMP continue to investigate the incident with the assistance of a local veterinarian and Saskatchewan Environment.

Anyone with information is asked to contact their local police or Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers at 800222-8477.

bison wasn’t available from suppliers because the volume of sales at restaurants didn’t justify selling it, particularly when the meat would have to be frozen to keep it longer.

McCarthy said packaging to keep food fresher longer is so much better now that it might not be as big an issue. For example, bison steaks in individual cryovac packages would be more appealing for chefs’ use, he said.

An Alberta producer said that one chef now buys an entire animal and uses the entire carcass. Bison broth has replaced beef broth to help keep

the bison costs in line.

“The biggest problem is going to be finding a chef who will use it all,” McCarthy said.

“Storage space is going to be his biggest headache.”

Bison is more expensive than beef for restaurants to buy and consequently a more expensive menu item.

One producer asked if consumers were starting to think more about their health and were willing to pay the premium for bison because of the benefits.

McCarthy said it was likely that cer-

tain customers do, but chefs also need to know more about bison, which is where producers and the CBA could help.

His informal survey identified poor marketing to chefs as a concern.

He said there are 28 regional branches of the Canadian Culinary Federation that producers could help educate. As well, chefs at restaurants and hotels are usually willing to meet with producers.

“Get an appointment with the chef and take a steak,” he said. “Or go with your meat rep.”

He said chefs like to put farm names

on menus and learn about how the food was produced so that they can tell their guests.

Murray Woodbury, the specialized livestock health and production research chair at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in Saskatoon, said chefs and consumers should be aware of the value they’re getting when they pay the premium price for bison.

It takes only six weeks to get a chicken to market compared to two years for bison.

“You’ve got to look at what you’re getting, not just what it costs,” he said.

PUBLIC IMAGE | AWARENESS

Farmers told to inform public before activists take charge Public awareness lacking | Video project touts farmers’ stewardship efforts STORIES BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

CARMAN, Man. — Farmers aren’t good at telling the public about the good sides of agriculture.

They not only live in areas isolated from cities but also have trouble overcoming shyness and a self-deprecating sense of humour.

When asked at an early-November Manitoba Beef Producers meeting to describe why they are committed to farming, producers had trouble being positive about their profession.

“Because I’m not too bright,” joked one Manitoba cattle producer.

“I quit school too early,” quipped another, as farmers in the room laughed.

However, an effort is underway across all sectors of agriculture to improve farmers’ public image.

“We need to talk about what you do for the environment,” said Manitoba Beef Producers general manager Cam Dahl.

“We need to talk about what you do for animal welfare. We need to have a much better conversation with the public because they don’t know what you do. They’re asking these questions and I would rather have you answer those questions than PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) answer those questions.”

A few farmers were convinced during the meeting’s coffee break to be video recorded as they described why they farmed and how they felt

about farming.

It wasn’t easy for MBP’s Kristen Lucyshyn to find farmers willing to participate in the project.

The association is contributing videos to the Agriculture More Than Ever website at www.agriculturemorethanever.ca, which is a collection of video clips with farmers and others in agriculture talking about the positive aspects of farming.

The project, established by Farm Credit Canada, is receiving contributions from across the industry.

Dahl said farmers need to tell their stories because urban Canada controls the governments that set regulations that govern farmers’ lives.

“We need to communicate better with the public,” said Dahl.

that live in the nearly 100 kilometre long national park, and eradication efforts are better co-ordinated.

Bovine TB has caused anxiety for hundreds of cattle producers living along the park’s boundary.

Elk and deer in the park carry the disease, but it hasn’t been easy to determine which groups are infected and how to eliminate them.

The disease has been described as a problem for the entire Canadian cattle industry because it could lose the U.S. market if an outbreak caused the American government to take action.

Farmers living on the edge of the park regularly test their cattle for TB exposure and move their livestock into high-fenced enclosures in the fall and winter.

Game fences also protect feed sources, and many farmers have moved their feeding yards away from the park in an attempt to minimize the chance of elk and deer coming into contact with their herds.

“These changes acknowledge that bovine tuberculosis poses a significant problem to both wildlife and agriculture,” MBP president Ray Armbruster said when the expanded hunting was announced.

More hunting will reduce wildlife populations of possibly-infected animals and provide more samples for TB testing. The increased testing is expected to provide a better picture of the extent of the disease.

ORGANIC CONFERENCE | GROWERS DECLINE

Organic growers declining; demand rebounding Recession hits | Opportunities lie in organic soybean products, milk, yogurt and cereal, says trade official

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

The decline in the number of organic farmers, particularly in Saskatchewan, worries the Canadian Organic Trade Association.

Executive director Matt Holmes told the recent Organic Connections conference in Regina that supply is already tight, and a smaller number of producers won’t help.

Organic farm numbers declined nationally by 4.5 percent from 2009 to 2010, he said.

However, Saskatchewan saw a 16 percent drop, which could hit 30 percent once the latest data is known.

The province is home to about onethird of Canada’s organic farmers.

The decline is happening while demand continues to grow.

Holmes said the recession negatively affected the entire food industry, but the organic sector, which is worth $59 billion globally, saw only a slowdown in rate of growth.

This took pressure off organic suppliers, he added.

Ninety-six percent of the global

market is in North America and the European Union, but Holmes said North America hardly shows up on the map in terms of production.

“South America, Australia and Europe are far and away supplying a lot of that production,” he said.

Countries that traditionally supply organic food are also becoming consumers, he added. For example, Brazil, India and China are developing a middle class that wants organic food.

Canadians rank ninth in terms of per capita consumption of organic

food, while Denmark and the United States are the leaders.

Holmes said there are opportunities for Canadian growers and processors in areas such as soybean products, milk, yogurt and cereals.

These products top the list of the organic items that consumers buy.

Holmes said he is concerned about the lack of quality Canadian data that can be used to make policy, production and marketing decisions.

A 2007 study showed $1 billion in annual sales, which doubled to $2 billion by the next year.

However, a comprehensive study of the marketplace has not been conducted since 2009.

COTA estimated the market was worth $2.6 billion in 2010, or 2.5 percent of total retail food sales.

The association recently learned it would receive funding to conduct the first full organic market assessment since 2009. It will also include a look at who organic consumers are, where they live and where they shop.

“We don’t even know what full production is because that changes pretty rapidly,” he said. “We’re trying to work with the government. We’re trying to work with the certifiers.”

At the conference held Nov. 2-3, Holmes said he recently learned that Statistics Canada has proposed to no longer ask questions about organics in its agricultural census.

“That’s unacceptable,” he said.

ORGANIC CONFERENCE | PRODUCTION

Organic system needs revamp, says experts Food production has to become more efficient, says permaculture advocate Rob Avis.

“We need a remake of the entire system from the bottom,” he told the Organic Connections conference in Regina.

Permaculture focuses on a regenerative system that weaves together all environmental and social aspects of food, water, shelter and waste.

Avis of Verge Permaculture in Calgary said this would result in farms that provide net positive calories, run on solar energy, produce nutrient dense food, benefit topsoil, increase fertility and diversity, improve water quality, decrease pollution and provide habitat.

He said the outputs of one system become the inputs of another, which is a pattern that nature has already perfected. However, the system that exists now is what he called an immature ecosystem that is low in diversity, highly competitive, leaks nutrients and focuses on annual plants.

A mature, highly diversified system that uses perennial crops and recirculates nutrients is more desirable, he said.

One example is a small three quarter acre farm in Kelowna, B.C., that supplies vegetables to restaurants and takes back the restaurant compost for fertilizer.

Avis said urban centres could be producing more food than they are.

There are 40 million acres of lawn in the United States compared to 45 million acres of wheat.

That land could produce enough to feed every U.S. citizen 2,000 calories per day.

Fred Kirschenmann, a holistic resource management advocate, said larger-scale farming should also focus on developing more perennial crops.

“Nature doesn’t operate on a system of annuals,” he said.

ORGANIC CONFERENCE | TILLAGE

Expert stresses minimal tillage to avoid ecosystem disturbance

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Soil shouldn’t be treated like dirt, says noted soil health expert Jill Clapperton, but that’s exactly what happens when it is tilled.

“You have to remember that soil is a habitat,” she told the recent Organics Connection conference in Regina.

“We want those bugs. We have to decrease tillage to keep animals in the soil.”

Organic producers have traditionally relied on tillage for weed control, as did other farmers historically before turning to chemicals.

Clapperton noted an Agriculture Canada document from 1944 that said soil lost 33 percent of organic matter as soon as it’s tilled.

The underground ecosystem is designed to move nutrients up and down. She said nematodes and protozoa don’t have burrowing capacity and rely on the soil structure created by other animals and plant root systems for transport.

“We sever those connections when we do tillage,” Clapperton said.

“Everything is connected.”

However, she said that while many farmers recognize tillage isn’t good for the ecosystem underground, they don’t want to spray either.

Clapperton advises her clients to use a disc drill, seeder or planter to cut through the soil without major disturbance. She also recommends cover crops, underseeded crops and living mulches to help feed the soil and reduce tillage.

For example, a farmer in Ontario seeded lentils and then seeded corn into the growing lentil crop. The lentils formed a myccorhizal relationship with the corn, pulling phosphorus into the plants.

Clapperton said flax grows especially well in organic rotations and can be seeded with clover or lentils.

Underseeding option Another option is to underseed wheat to sweet clover. The sweet clover grows up after the wheat is harvested and displays “amazing herbicidal properties” as it lies flat, she said.

Clapperton is also working with desi chickpeas, in particular underseeding wheat to desis.

“Desis are a more wild type (of chickpea) that take up more phosphorus, are highly mycorrhizal and stay on the ground,” she said.

She used this system on her family’s Montana farm and achieved wheat yields of 40 bushels per acre in an

area where the average is 34.

The wheat and chickpeas were offset on a 12-inch row spacing. At harvest, none of the chickpeas ended up in the wheat, and the chickpeas were harvested later.

“We got an excellent wheat yield and a really nice yield of chickpeas as well.”

Clapperton said these types of systems work well for “recovering conventional farmers” who want to do right by their soil but aren’t necessarily at the point of organic.

She is also working with subterranean clover, which grows only 2.5 centimetres high, forms a mat and outcompetes weeds, and flowers such as phacelia, cosmos and calendulas.

The flowers are particularly useful for potato growers because they attract pollinators such as bees. Planting a row of flowers between every 10 rows of potatoes can also control virus problems.

“We do this in corn in Kansas and Nebraska” to reduce insecticide use, Clapperton said at the Nov. 2-3 conference.

Farmers might not like the look of crop mixes, she added, but they will find that their water use is more efficient and yields will improve.

“What we can do with plants is outstanding.”

HEALTH & SAFETY | SOCIAL MEDIA

Cyberbullying can have deadly consequences for teens Old story, new setting | Social media like Facebook, Twitter can be used to intimidate kids

BY ROBIN BOOKER SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Part of growing up includes acquiring emotional aptitude and taking responsibility for how others are affected by our actions.

However, children and youth can be cruel to each other while they are maturing, as illustrated by the events leading up to the recent suicide of 15-year-old Amanda Todd in British Columbia.

Public concerns over bullying seem to rise and fall in the wake of bullying related tragedies reported in the media.

Todd’s suicide has received widespread interest largely because of the YouTube video she posted, which has been viewed millions of times, where she used flash cards to describe her experience of being bullied.

The video provides a glimpse of the torment some young people face for people who are normally insolated from such harsh interactions.

A l s o, m u c h o f t h e b u l l y i n g occurred online and was easy for news agencies to find and report.

Cyberbullying occurs when the internet, including social networking sites such as Facebook, is used

to taunt and harm others.

Online bullying is usually only part of a larger bullying campaign that victims face. So in many ways, it is an extension of the bullying that teachers, parents and police have always faced.

Alex Moore, author of A Parents Guide to Cyberstalking and Cyberbullying, said bullying can be much harder for parents to detect when it occurs in the virtual world.

“It is possible to monitor children’s online activity with a variety of parental control software and apps,” Moore said. “However, the products available tend to be costly and are not user friendly.”

It used to be easier to protect children from bullying.

She said youngsters’ time spent away from home was always the wildcard but once in the safety of the home, parents could make sure their children were safe from emotional abuse and threats of violence from their peers.

However, this is no longer the case as the increased reliance on digital c o m mu n i c at i o n s e ro d e s t h e home’s previous safe zone.

In the past, children’s behaviour was at least somewhat monitored in

most of the places they frequented.

Moore said digital communications are largely unmonitored.

Handheld computing devices are cheap and need only a widely available WiFi signal to access free social media sites. As well, there are no Facebook hall monitors or text message referees.

The ability of teachers and principles to monitor and discipline students only goes so far in the cyber world.

She said police say they need new legislation to help intervene and investigate cyberbullying in Canada.

However, police will not be able to intervene or prevent all cyberbullying cases regardless of the laws that are put in place. Many of them will be too subtle and fall within the parameters of any reasonable law.

It is ultimately the parents’ responsibility to make sure children are safe in cyberspaces. It is important for parents to have a strong relationship with their children and be able to notice when something is bothering them.

Moore said it is impossible to prevent all cyberbully attacks, but it is vital that children know they should speak out about cyberbully-

ing when they see it happening.

“Teach your children safety and security measures … when it comes to interacting in social networks and online sites and advise them about the dangers of sharing too much personal information publicly, including photos, texts, tweets,” Moore said.

The community of people within most public spheres hold each other accountable for their actions.

It is indeed necessary for any community to self-regulate.

However, young online communities struggle to maintain any sort of etiquette standard.

Moore said the internet’s anonymity allows some people to get away with behaviour they would not get away with in most communities, and children are often the targets of this normally unacceptable behaviour.

Youngsters are increasingly fulfilling their needs for social connections and affirmations of worth through digital mediums such as social networking sites.

However, she said children shouldn’t wander the internet unsupervised until parents know they have the skills to handle themselves.

HELP YOUR KIDS DEAL WITH CYBERBULLYING Cyberbullying is a conscious, deliberate online attack by one person or group against another.

Help your child avoid becoming a target of cyberbullying: • Teach them to never post anything on the internet they wouldn’t want the world – including you – to read.

• Talk to them about reaching out at the first sign of a threat, but don’t take for granted that your child will: only eight percent of teens who have been bullied online tell their parents about it.

• Stay calm. Kids are reluctant to confide in their parents if they fear their parents will take away their internet or cellphone once they know what’s going on.

• Teach your children to speak up if they notice others are being cyberbullied. Not reporting it is the same as approving it.

Teach your children what to do if they encounter an online bully: • Stop interacting with the bully.

Leave the area or stop the activity (i.e. chat room, online game, instant messaging, social networking site, etc.).

• Block the sender’s messages.

Never reply to harassing messages.

• Talk to an adult. If the bullying includes physical threats, tell the police as well.

• Save any harassing messages and forward them to your internet service provider. Most service providers have appropriate use policies that restrict users from harassing others over the internet.

Family farm grows, cleans, processes Spices, pedigreed seed | Eskdale Seed Farm goes with the flow as markets change and prices rise

BY ROBIN BOOKER SASKATOON NEWSROOM

LEROSS, Sask. — The Heggie family has found themselves in the land reclamation business this fall.

It was another wet year on the family’s Eskdale Seed Farm near Leross.

With harvest complete and previously flooded areas dry, Robert Heggie and his two sons, Kyle and Joel, are trying to reclaim the 1,400 acres they were unable to seed this year on their 6,000 acre farm.

Two European exchange workers are helping with the fieldwork and drainage.

Just down the hill from the home Heggie shares with his wife, Cres, three full-time employees are working in another part of the business — their seed cleaning plant.

The plant has three separate cleaning lines: two dedicated to cleaning coriander and caraway and another for cleaning pedigree seed, both what is grown on the Heggie farm and custom cleaning jobs, including organic.

The plant began operating in 1981 to clean seed for local farmers. Pulse crops for the export market were added in the late 1980s and coriander and caraway arrived in the early 1990s.

The company tooled up for spice processing and soon became one of the largest spice processors in Saskatchewan.

A second cleaning line was added in 1997 and for a time the plant operated 24 hours a day to keep up with demand.

Calvin Wingert, who has worked at the plant for 20 years and manages its operations, said the spice market is small but has treated them well.

That’s how we’ve been able to stay as busy as we have been over the years. It’s because we don’t try to do one thing all year long.

ROBERT HEGGIE ESKDALE SEED FARM

“The industry grew for eight or nine years, and then leveled off for eight or nine years. It’s in a bit of a dip now, but like most commodities it will come back,” he said.

The plant eventually added a third cleaning line to allow the farm to do value added work on their crops without disturbing the spice cleaning.

“The plant has allowed us to diversify into the food market, and people are always going to need to eat.

Plus there are always going to be farmers who need seed to plant,” Heggie said.

“That’s how we’ve been able to stay as busy as we have been over the years. It’s because we don’t try to do one thing all year long. Then, when the doors close, you’ve got nothing to do. Traditionally, when one thing slows down, something else has picked up.”

The farm grows crops with the most profit potential. Lately that has been canola, but going all-in to any one crop or market in not in their business plan.

Heggie uses three guiding principles to manage Eskdale Seed Farm: stay diverse, keep an eye out for emerging or potential markets and be willing to attempt new ventures.

Manager Calvin Wingert and owner Rob Heggie say Eskdale Seed Farm is always looking for new markets and business ventures.

He has recently reduced the amount of acres seeded in spices because of low prices. The crops also have problems with disease during wet years.

However, the Heggies are in a position to quickly respond to rising spice prices by increasing spice acres and return the plant to operating 24 hours a day.

“Anything that can be processed and marketed out of the cleaner, where another company comes here and picks it up, is usually more profitable for us,” Heggie said.

This includes the pedigree seed the farm grows, such as wheat, barley, oats, flax, peas, and fall rye.

As their spice acres decreased, the number of acres planted to oats for the gluten free marketed has increased.

There are stringent requirements for growing gluten free oats. For instance, a load will be rejected if one gluten-containing grain kernel

is found in a one-kilogram sample.

Crop rotations are crucial when growing pedigree seed and gluten free oats.

No other cereal grains are allowed in the rotation when growing oats for the gluten free market. Heggie said growing spices in the oat rotation helps maintain the integrity of the crop.

Careful field management and equipment cleanouts allow the farm meet the gluten-free oat standards, but the cleaning plant also helps.

“We probably gross more per acre growing all these other things, which we prefer, than canola, and there is a lot less risk (in terms of input costs), but you need things to rotate them with like peas or canola.”

He ggie said he and Cres are thrilled that Kyle and Joel have been able to stay in the area to help expand the farm together.

“I do what I love to do, and I get to do it with my family,” he said.

Older people generally need the same amount of sleep as younger adults, seven or eight hours, although children and teenagers may need 10 hours a night or more.

It is quite normal to break your sleep up into two three or four hour segments, even if you do not need to urinate. Sometimes it takes up to an hour to get back to sleep again, but this does not matter and will not affect your overall health.

We all have internal clocks that regulate our circadian rhythms. The problem is that due to electric lights, we now stay up long past our natural bed times. In the olden days, people slept when it got dark and got up in daylight.

In the 1990s, sleep researcher Dr. Thomas Wehr, a psychiatrist at the National Institute of Mental Health in the United States, discovered that everyone sleeps in two segments when subjected to natural patterns of light and dark.

He subjected the participants to 14 hours of darkness per night and found that they gradually shifted to a routine of taking two hours to fall asleep, then sleeping in two fourhour phases separated by about an hour of staying awake.

Most people are now so tired and sleep deprived that they fall asleep almost immediately and sleep straight through the night, so that they worry that anything different is not normal.

Real insomnia does seem to get more common with increasing age.

Older people tend to be less physically active, and are more likely to take an afternoon nap. Naps should preferably not last longer than 20 minutes to half an hour.

Painful conditions such as arthritis can interfere with sleep. Older men often develop problems with benign enlargement of the prostate gland, which causes more frequent urination, and women in the menopause can be awakened by hot flashes.

Depression and anxiety are also more common in older people and can interfere with sleeping.

Seniors are also more likely to take prescription medications, some of which may cause insomnia.

Some examples are bronchodilators, which help breathing, steroids, certain antidepressants and thyroid medication.

ENTREPRENEURS | FARM SALVAGE

Furniture makers turn salvaged wood into fine furniture

BY ANNE COTE FREELANCE WRITER

Four furniture makers from Manitoba like to think of themselves as being in the tree salvaging business.

Wood Anchor, which builds furniture and produces elm flooring, is the result of a collaboration between farmers Grant and Colleen Dyck and their high school friends, Jason and Jami Neufeld.

The business is located on leased land on the outskirts of Winnipeg, but in its early days a steel shed on the Dyck farm was the company’s workshop and headquarters.

The original plan was to build furniture from reclaimed wood found in rural Manitoba. Old grain elevators, sheds, barns and other types of farm buildings provided a vast resource for the fledgling company.

Grant Dyck had many ideas about how to use the wood, while Jason Neufeld had the woodworking skills to create the furniture.

“Our whole approach is that we’re salvaging the trees rather than harvesting trees,” Neufeld said.

The partners used equipment from the Dyck farm to move salvaged wood from its original site to the workshop.

Neufeld said the intention was to just cut “a little bit of elm” when Wood Anchor began to look in 2007-08 at reclaiming trees that had succumbed

Jason Neufeld, a Winnipeg furniture maker, turns reclaimed wood into custom furniture. | ANNE COTE PHOTO to Dutch elm disease to use for furniture and flooring.

However, that’s when the environmental market was starting to develop, and reclaimed wood products became a good business idea.

Most of the wood for the company’s flooring comes from elm trees in Winnipeg that died from the fungal disease, which was spread by beetles that burrow into the bark of trees.

Only licensed arborists under contract to the city are allowed to cut the diseased elms and dispose of them.

The dead trees are deposited at a

Manitoba landfill, where the bark is stripped away. The tree trunks are taken to Wood Anchor once they have dried well enough to be safe to use.

Neufeld said the company uses almost 5,000 tonnes of elms annually. It also uses almost 3,000 tonnes of oak, ash and poplar. The oak and ash trees usually come from rural Manitoba farms, he added.

Neufeld said unwanted shelter belt trees are usually best suited for fuel, either as pellets and logs.

“Old farmyards are a different story because there’s often really big trees

there,” he said. “There might be only 10 of them, but they’ll be huge.”

Urban sources include riverbanks and residential spaces where trees have outgrown their environment.

It’s these trees, rural and urban, that provide the material for the custom built furniture that Neufeld and the Wood Anchor crew produce in the shop.

Equipment includes a portable sawmill and two drying kilns that the company plans to buy later this year to dry flooring. The kilns will cost $40,000 each.

Neufeld and an office manager handle sales and day to day functions, while four employees either operate the sawmill or work in the shop building furniture.

“They all have basic woodworking skills,” Neufeld said. “They’re a creative group and they manage to figure out new ways to make the wood fit the customers’ requests. We’re dealing with some pretty wild material.”

For example, wood stacked in the shop include black streaks and cracks where nails used to be, knots and

other abnormalities.

He said it’s these imperfections that customers want preserved in their custom made furniture, which means the people building it have to take a different approach to wood crafting and finishing.

A table on the workbench in the shop is one example. It’s more than two metres long and close to a metre wide and is crafted from local Manitoba oak. The Wood Anchor crew won’t fill the knotholes or sanding out the discolorations before applying a food safe finish concocted from vegetable oil and plant wax.

“That’s the character of the piece.

That’s what people want,” Neufeld said.

The price of this particular table, which is destined for a home in Calgary, will be $4,000 to $5,000 when it’s finished. Neufeld said customers provide him with a basic idea of what they want and plenty of freedom to create a unique piece.

He said it usually takes 10 to 12 weeks for a custom made table to be finished.

WINNER! NEXERA CANOLA GROWER WINS $331,000 COMBINE

Life on the farm will never be the same for Helen Choquette and family. The Western Producer and Dow AgroSciences are thrilled to announce Choquette’s PIN number was drawn for the Keys to the Combine Contest at Red Deer’s AgriTrade on November 8, 2012— giving her full ownership of a 2012 New Holland CR9090 combine, valued at $331,000.

The new 2012 New Holland CR9090 is the combine of their dreams. They are longtime Yorkton New Holland customers and they are also Nexera canola growers. In 2011 they had what Choquette describes as a “beautiful Nexera canola crop averaging 52 bushels an acre”. If, weather permitting, 2013 is a repeat they now have the necessary combine capacity.

In 15 months almost 50,000 keys were unlocked in the Keys to the Combine contest, but it was one of the keys earned by Helen Choquette, who farms 20 miles north of Kelvington, Saskatchewan with her husband and kids, which was the winner.

“We are thrilled for Helen and her family. They are hard working with an incredible commitment to Helen & Brian Choquette with a scale model of their new 2012 New Holland the canola industry,” says Mark “When I started the contest I just Woloshyn, Nexera Brand Leader CR9090 combine had a feeling I was going to win,” says for Dow AgroSciences. “Not only Choquette. “The morning of the do they grow Nexera canola, they draw I even joked to my husband and kids I was going to also run a trucking company that delivers to Nexera canola win the combine later that day. We really need it and are channel partners Richardson Pioneer, LDM and Bunge. And it’s thrilled to officially retire our New Holland TX66 that we the end-use demand that has given everyone in the Nexera bought used five years ago.” Choquette’s son, Mitchel, canola value chain, from growers to processors, “healthier says he’s looking forward to “less wrenching and more profits” and that’s why we are able to give away a combine!”

e enter a new season as soon as the snowflakes tap at the window.

With this white blanket comes a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. After fall yard work kept us busy, we now have permission to curl up with a good book without feeling too guilty.

And aside from the job of moving snow off sidewalks and driveways, there is a sense of serene excitement, if that is possible.

I love watching the kids enjoy the first snowfall: running in the glittering flakes as they fall, building a snowman or being pulled on a sleigh.

It is also the time to prepare for the coming holidays. I always anticipate the food and fun that holiday gatherings bring.

Although the season can get busy, remember to take time to stop and enjoy some great food.

Prairie wheat growers are turning to midge tolerant wheat for midge control and high yields. And everyone wants this to continue.

That’s the point of the Stewardship Agreement. The Agreement limits the use of farm-saved seed to one generation past Certified seed. It’s a simple step that keeps the interspersed refuge system at the desired level, preventing a build-up of resistant midge.

Tasty reading Recipes in this column are all from the cookbook, From Baba with Love.

Cecilia Kachkowski, president of the Hanka Romnachych branch of the Ukrainian Women’s Association of Canada in Saskatoon, introduced me to this Ukrainian cookbook that was compiled by the Saskatoon branch.

I fondly remember my husband’s baba and dido and how proud they were of their heritage and their success in coming to Canada. Sharing a meal, and a shot of vodka or homemade liquor, was a must to celebrate many life events.

This publication is much more than a cookbook, featuring teachings of the spiritual seasons of life, including cultural and folkloric descriptions of selected feast days and sacraments and Ukrainian food traditions.

Recipes vary from traditional to modern versions for those like myself who like quick and easy dishes. It is a great resource to preserve Ukrainian history in Canada and wonderful as a gift this Christmas.

It is priced at $35 per copy and is available at McNally Robinson, SaskMade Marketplace and the Ukrainian Museum of Canada in Saskatoon.

Another great gift idea is Cooking with Cherries ... From the Prairies. It is another project that Kachkowski was involved with, along with Loretta Bors and Lily Sawatzky.

Together they compiled and edited a cookbook using prairie developed sour cherries in every recipe. Proceeds will fund a scholarship for a student studying horticulture at the University of Saskatchewan.

For more information, visit www. fruit.usask.ca or pick up the book at the U of S bookstore, MacNally Robinson, SaskMade Marketplace and Western Development Museum.

WRITING A WILL | MAKING CHANGES

Update will if family circumstances change to avoid confusion Change of name

A PRAIRIE PRACTICE

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

Q:

I took my husband’s name when I got married and blended mine and his into a hyphenated name. After the birth of our first child we created a will. Years later, I am still married to the same person, but I have dropped his name and added two more children. Do I need to get my will changed?

A:

You have raised three issues that I will address.

You note that you had originally used a hyphenated name, which was a combination of your husband’s name and yours. Sometime later in the marriage, you reverted to just your own surname, which I presume is your birth name.

Under The Change of Name Act in Saskatchewan, you would be able to revert back to your birth name without being required to file a formal application to do so.

With regard to your will, the change from the hyphenated name to your birth name would not make your will invalid.

It is quite clear who the writer of the will is and any confusion could be eliminated by the filing of an affidavit of identity at the time of your death, in which someone who knew you

Update your will if your beneficiaries or assets have changed

would simply indicate that the name used in the will was one and the same person as the name you were using at date of death. So that in itself would not necessitate the making of a new will.

More children Many wills indicate that a parent will leave their estate to “all my children, in equal shares.” That is how I

usually draft a will for young parents who are of an age where their family may expand in the future. If yours is like that, it should be fine.

However, if your will named specifically only the child you had at the time and not a general class of your children, you should definitely change your will to include your laterborn children.

Years later You have indicated that it has been a long time since you last made a will.

Many people ask how many years should go by before they make a change to their will. It is not the number of years that go by but the change in circumstances.

Changes to your beneficiaries or changes to your assets are the main indicators that a change to a will is

necessary. In this case, the most important reason why you may need to update your will is to be sure that all of your children are named as beneficiaries, or that this is covered by referring to them as a group.

While you are making that change, make sure to review your guardian clause, which is the person or persons who would be looking after your children if both you and your husband were to die, and update that clause if necessary.

And while you are making these changes, you can update your name as well.

GOSSIP | PARTICIPATION

Do your best to avoid getting caught up in community gossip SPEAKING OF LIFE

JACKLIN ANDREWS, BA, MSW

Q:

A group of us women recently turned a small and enjoyable coffee time into a degrading gossip session about one of my neighbours.

As ashamed as I am to admit it, I was right in there with everyone else.

What is disturbing to me is that the neighbour is otherwise a good friend of mine. I have no idea how I got caught up in this thing and I am feeling terrible about it. Those of us who live in small communities know how devastating gossip can be.

I don’t want to do this again. I have talked to my neighbour and apologized to her, and we are still on good terms with each other. But it cannot stop there. What can I do to keep myself out of those gossip lines?

A:

You have already started. Taking responsibility for your part in the gossip session and apologizing to your neighbour was tremendously courageous. I do not know many people who would be that honourable.

Thankfully, she was forgiving, and

that says something commendable about her as well.

Obviously, you know the harm to personal relationships that can sprout out of community gossip.

However, like you, people often get caught up in gossip sessions.

The lure of gossip comes to us from two directions.

The first is simple: “we want to belong.” People, like a herd of cattle grazing in the fields, are social creatures. We do not only want to belong to groups in our communities; we need to belong.

Survival is difficult without the support and nurturing care of our friends and families. People gossip to belong to groups and friends in the community. The irony is that the most likely way to lose contact with others is to be forefront in the gossip sessions.

Those who are gossiping about other people could just as easily be talking about you, and when they do they are isolating you from the community.

Gossip victims are generally left to their own resources, lacking support from others in the community.

The other drive toward gossip is from personal dissatisfaction.

Chances are that you are gossiping when something in your life needs fixing. The most common drive to gossip comes from a few doubts about your own self worth.

So strong is this connection that you could almost use it as a barometer for yourself. The next time you are

ANIMAL WELFARE | HOGS

New hog codes of practice will come with price Minimum standards set | The code will cost hog producers as they retrofit barns from stalls to group housing

BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Revised codes of practice for hog production are expected to be released by the end of next year.

The scientific report has been made public, and the committee’s draft will be completed by the end of the year and ready for public consultation and feedback by early next year.

Most items will take effect a year after the codes are released.

“One of the more important things is we’re establishing a minimum standard that is going to form the basis for all set evaluations of our operations in Canada,” Dr. Harold Gonyou, an animal scientist with the Prairie Swine Centre in Saskatoon, told the Swine Industry Symposium in Saskatoon Nov. 13-14.

“So if a problem comes up, we have something to go back and say, ‘this is our standard, does it meet it or doesn’t it meet it.’ ” Gonyou, a member of the scientific team who was also chosen to represent the code development commit-

We want to make sure we do this in a well thought out, logical way. Not only animal welfare for our animals, but we’re not cruel to our producers either.

FLORIAN POSSBERG PIG CODE DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE

tee, said the existing 15-year-old code of practice didn’t have mandatory standards.

The Canada Pork Council asked that the code be revised so that it could be used as a basis for standards for its animal care assessment program.

Gonyou said scientific input for the codes of practice included discussions with many stakeholders.

“We’re achieving that standard by which we live by,” he said.

The scientific committee studied six welfare issues: controlling pain regarding castration, methods of

euthanasia, pig space allowance, gestation and sow housing, social management of sows and sow space allowance.

Gonyou said sow housing is of greatest interest to producers and consumers.

Studies show it is possible to achieve equal or better productivity and health in group systems compared to stalls. Sows housed in stalls rested less and sat and drank more than sows in groups.

Tethered sows show lower productivity and higher levels of stress than those in stalls.

Gonyou said the revised code would include caveats on group housing.

“We still want to use the stall during that first trimester because we feel with our current understanding of management, the sows will be challenged if we don’t,” he said.

“Then we’ll move to group housing during the last two trimesters of pregnancy.”

Gonyou said the new codes will bring major financial hurdles, particularly during a housing conversion.

“It’s going to cost somewhere between $250 and $500 per sow to make that transition on our farms because we have to renovate those buildings,” he said.

“It’s a new design, a new management method. They have been developed, but our barns have not been built for them.”

Florian Possberg, chair of the National Farm Animal Care Council’s pig code development committee, said finding the right combination of caring for animals and still being competitive in the marketplace requires a

sensitive balancing act.

“On one hand, we want to have an animal welfare position that allows us to access as many markets as possible and yet we cannot put so many conditions on our production that we are non-competitive,” he said.

“There may be premium markets out there that will pay a premium for very high animal welfare, but quite frankly most consumers buy on price in Canada. Globally, if you don’t match the best price, you’re not in the market.”

Bigger ticket items, such as retrofitting barns for sow space, will require a phase-in period and innovation money so that producers can make the appropriate changes.

Possberg said the council has asked to delay the process long enough so that market conditions can improve.

“At the end of the day, we don’t want to push our producers out of business. We want to make sure we do this in a well thought out, logical way. Not only animal welfare for our animals, but we’re not cruel to our producers either.”

HISTORIC SITE | SASKATCHEWAN

Group petitions cuts limiting visits to historic home site

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Nearly 5,000 people have signed petitions asking Ottawa to review its decision to cut programs at the Motherwell Homestead national historic site in Saskatchewan.

The site near Abernethy is the home of the country’s first agriculture minister and features demonstrations of how agriculture was

practiced in W.R. Motherwell’s time.

Costumed interpreters used cattle, horses, poultry and other livestock, as well as early implements, to show people how things used to be done.

However, Parks Canada cut the living histor y program in budget announcements earlier this year. As of 2013, the site will operate as a static display.

Jakki Stephenson, secretary of the Friends of the Motherwell Home-

stead Inc., said that isn’t good enough to honour an agricultural figure of such importance.

“We feel it’s very important to try to preserve his memory in a way that’s fitting,” she said.

She said the Friends group has been told the site will be self-guided and open only three days per week during late May and June. However, those three days will be during the week and not weekends.

“That’s not much fun for families,” Stephenson observed.

The site will be open full-time from July to mid-September.

Children’s day camps at the site were over-subscribed but will no longer be offered and any school tours that visit the site will be left to wander on their own.

TORONTO — Not everybody gets excited about a 50 pound block of frozen butter, but for sculptors it offers endless opportunities to have fun and create art.

The Royal Agricultural Winter Fair invites sculptors and art college students to compete in an annual butter sculpture competition. This year, Bailey Henderson of the Ontario College of Art and Design in Toronto won with a whimsical rendering of a pig on a scooter.

“Artistic merit is what we are really working for,” said judge Ineset Dzenis, who works in the film industry.

The three judges gathered in the cold room where the finished works are on display and deliberated about creations that included a life sized goose spreading it swings, a wolf eyeing food, a calf encircling a baby and a chicken sitting on a mountain of eggs.

Judges Olenka Kleban and Katy Berggren are fulltime artists and have previously entered this show and one at the Canadian National Exhibition with large renderings of Toronto mayor Rob Ford, an aging Elvis Presley and Wayne Gretzky.

At the Royal, artists start with a 50 lb. block of butter and work in a cold room. It takes about eight hours to complete.

The sculptures are eventually thrown away because they cannot be eaten after being manipulated and handled.

Artists use carving tools and their hands. Butter is less forgiving than clay or other sculpting medium. The work can be built on a frame if necessary.

“It is not quite as easy as clay. It can be brittle. To get it to a malleable state takes a lot of work,” said Berggren.

One of her past entries included a Scot in his kilt, which she called Butterscotch. Her busts of Gretzky and Presley for the CNE each took 100 lb. of butter to complete over several days.

Kleban has produced animal projects, including nursing piglets, which she called a Pile of Litter, two cows nestling and a grandmother making perogies. That project required 500 lb. of butter.

BSE SURVEILLANCE | TESTING CHANGES

BSE test changes designed to increase submissions New age limit | The industry benefits from BSE testing by increasing confidence in the beef sector, says veterinarian

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Changes to Alberta’s BSE surveillance program are designed to encourage producers to provide a larger number of samples.

Starting Nov. 1, cattle owners can now submit any animal older than 30 months for BSE testing if it is dead, down, diseased or distressed or if its showing neurological signs of illness.

An upper age limit of 107 months had previously been in effect in Alberta.

A restriction on time of ownership has also been removed. Producers

can now submit animals in any of the above noted high risk categories regardless of how long they’ve owned the animals. The previous restriction was 30 days of possession.

The $75 per animal reimbursement to producers for submitting an animal is still in effect.

Dr. Gerald Hauer, chief provincial veterinarian in Alberta, said the changes were made to increase the number of animals submitted.

“We recognized that the numbers of samples coming into our program are reduced from what they were before,” he said.

The other goal was to make Alberta’s program more consistent with those elsewhere in Canada.

Changes to the term of ownership requirements were made in light of better market prices for cull cows.

“The main reason for that was, for animal welfare reasons, we felt that it was not prudent to have a system that would allow farmers to go around collecting up the older cows, cows that are unfit for transportation and things like that, collect them up and put them into the BSE program,” said Hauer.

That happened in the early days of

the BSE surveillance program but is less common now, he added.

“Market conditions are different now. We don’t feel there’s as much potential for animal welfare issues around that, so we felt it was time to take that one out.”

Hauer said Alberta would ideally like to test 10,000 animals per year for BSE. That target was not met last year.

The national goal is to test 30,000 animals.

In 2005, two years after BSE was discovered in Canada, 57,000 samples were tested across the country.

That dropped to 48,000 by 2008.

Tests as of Sept. 30, 2012, totalled 19,943, which was down substantially from January to September of 2011, when 27,429 samples were collected.

Hauer said a group formed to address BSE testing is preparing a campaign to encourage producers to increase the number of animals they submit. Rural veterinarians are also asked to encourage more tests.

“The ultimate beneficiary of the BSE surveillance is the cattle industry. What it does is it maintains the confidence in beef products both domestically and internationally,” Hauer said.

DISEASE | CONTROL

Producers must take diseases by the horns

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Livestock producers should take responsibility for controlling contagious disease outbreaks, says a leading Alberta disease control specialist.

Nobody has as much at stake as producers, and nobody is likely to care as much about doing it right.

“It’s time to stop saying it’s a federal problem, or it’s a provincial problem,” Jeff Hill, a veterinarian and livestock welfare specialist with Alberta Agriculture, told the Canadian Swine Health Forum in Winnipeg.

“Ultimately, it’s your problem.”

Disease outbreaks can cause costly time delays as federal, provincial, regional and industry players argue over who is responsible for controlling live animal diseases.

That can cause dangerous delays in taking action and allow disease outbreaks to become more severe, Hill said. The number of animals infected can be reduced by 80 percent if outbreaks are aggressively engaged within 72 hours, he added.

Hill said the ever-present threat of foot-and-mouth disease means livestock industries need to prepare for mass euthanization of animals, but they aren’t doing so.

However, the hog industry has begun working on a national plan to control a mass outbreak using “humane destruction centres” in Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba and Alberta and co-ordination of local, regional, industry, provincial and federal organizations and resources.

Hill, who has been organizing the plan for the Canadian Swine Health Board, said an existing plan can be rapidly enacted if a crisis erupts, which is greatly preferable to squabbling over responsibility and losing crucial hours for early response.

“When something like H1N1 comes down, the (Canadian Food Inspection Agency) goes, ‘it’s a provincial issue,’ the province goes, ‘It’s an industry issue.’ None of us have a legislative mandate to take responsibility.”

However, Hill said livestock industries can’t afford to play that game because only they go out of business if things go bad.

CANOLA | DISEASE

Prevention best weapon against sclerotinia Weather related | Canola is susceptible to the disease if it receives moisture during the flowering period

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

There were several reasons for disappointing canola yields across Western Canada this year, and sclerotinia was one of them.

The fungal disease, which thrives in hot and moist conditions, robbed farmers of 10 percent of their yield in Alberta and Saskatchewan and five percent in Manitoba.

Clint Jurke, an agronomy specialist w ith the Canola Council of Canada, said the rule of thumb for yield loss due to sclerotinia is to

halve the incidence.

That means 20 percent of Alberta and Saskatchewan crops and 10 percent of Manitoba crops suffered from the disease this year.

“Sclerotinia was very big, particularly through central and northwest Saskatchewan. It was probably the number one yield robber in that area,” said Jurke.

“Sclerotinia is the one disease that is almost entirely controlled by the weather pattern that you have. Crop rotation, previous crop history, things like that don’t really matter very much with this disease. It’s all about how

much moisture you’ve had, particularly around that flowering period.”

Randy Kutcher, former oilseed specialist with Agriculture Canada, recommended using the canola council checklist to determine whether fungicide spraying is worthwhile. The list includes assessments of recent weather, forecast, crop canopy and yield potential.

Scouting at first flower and then using a petal test kit will also give guidance on spraying, but Kutcher said few producers use the kits.

“Even if you don’t think you have much inoculum in your field, you can

still get spores coming in from adjacent fields,” said Kutcher, who now focuses on cereal and flax pathology at the University of Saskatchewan.

“The more growers deal with the disease, the better feel they get for it and the years that it’s going to be a problem.”

Sclerotinia is tricky.

Spraying is unlikely to be effective in preserving yield by the time it is visible in the crop. Prevention is the main weapon in farmers’ arsenal.

Kutcher said his best recommendation is to scout at swathing time to gather information on potential load

in the soil. The data can be useful the following year if weather conditions favour the disease.

“Get off the swather, three or four or five places in a quarter section, and figure out how much sclerotinia (you) have. It’s a pretty easy disease to recognize.”

Alberta Agriculture oilseed specialist Murray Hartman said some canola varieties are tolerant to sclerotinia but they work best when disease pressure is low. Even then, fungicide spraying will likely be required if conditions favour the disease.

“I would say there hasn’t been a high uptake on those varieties,” said Hartman.

Abundant sclerotinia in one crop year is not a guide to conditions in the following year because of the disease’s weather dependence.

However, Hartman said the disease’s apothecia bodies can remain in the soil for three or four years and cause problems when conditions are right.

That’s why crop rotation is not a huge factor in control, agreed Jurke.

Sclerotinia is not particular about its host.

“Any dicot plant is a host for this disease, so it doesn’t matter if you’re growing canola or you’re growing peas or you’re growing lentils or you’re growing even alfalfa or Canada thistle. They all will produce sclerotia.”

The bright side is that there are many effective fungicides.

Sclerotinia has developed resistance to benomyl, the most popular fungicide used in the 1990s, so that is a warning to producers to vary products and modes of action.

BRITISH COLUMBIA | LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR

Ranch owner heads to Government House Judith Guichon | Lieutenant governor plans to highlight the importance of agriculture

BY SHANNON MONEO FREELANCE WRITER

VICTORIA —British Columbia’s 29th lieutenant governor is the second woman to accept the role, but she’s the first female rancher to hold court since the position was formalized in 1871.

Judith Guichon, who with her late husband, Lawrence, owned the Gerard Guichon Ranch in the Nicola Valley, north of Merritt, has taken up residence at Government House for a five-year-term as the Queen’s representative in B.C. She has swapped 15,000 acres of deeded and 65,000 acres of crown lands, the 700 head cow-calf and 700 yearling operation and bed and breakfast business for the 36 acre property with elaborate gardens, a three-storey manor featuring a 300 seat ballroom and full staff.

“This is a big change from the ranch,” said Guichon, 65, who took up her post Nov. 2, replacing Steven Point, a former judge and First Nations leader.

In early November, she hosted a large dinner at Government House honouring long-service provincial government employees and earlier that week was in Vancouver for an emergency services event, just two of the roughly 300 functions she will attend each year.

Guichon wasn’t sure why she was picked but she is aware that her appointment was supported by federal and provincial politicians from various parties.

When prime minister Stephen Harper’s office called her in September to ask if she wanted to be B.C.’s new lieutenant governor, she at first thought it was a joke. Now, as she settles into the position, Guichon plans to take the job seriously.

“I hope I can help raise the level of awareness of what agriculture does for the country and how important it is,” she said in an interview at Government House.

That’s crucial for Guichon because Canada needs to ensure it has the next generation of farmers. Her family is doing fine, with her son, Michael, and daughter, Allison, and their families running the ranch. Guichon has two other grown children.

Lawrence’s descendants came from France to the Cariboo goldfields in 1862 and arrived in the Nicola Valley in 1866.

Having her children, the fifth generation, take over is part of the succession-retirement plan for Guichon and her second husband Bruno Mailloux, an invasive plant specialist.

Guichon said it is crucial that people, particularly in urban areas, learn about the value of agriculture and that it needs to be sustained.

When it come to farming and ranching, distinct knowledge about individual pieces of land isn’t something that can be read in a book, she added. It is learned by seeing and doing.

“Ever y piece of property is so unique,” Guichon said.

A steward of the land, Guichon said urbanites, in particular young people more interested in consumerism and gaming, must learn that farmers and ranchers provide more than

food and are more than peasants.

Clean air, clean water, new topsoil, species habitat and carbon sequestration are important things that come from farms and ranches, she said.

Guichon was born in Montreal and raised on a farm near Hawkesbury, Ont. She moved to B.C. in 1972. She and Lawrence introduced holistic land management practices to B.C. ranchers. The third female president of the B.C. Cattlemen’s Association, Guichon finished her twoyear term in May 2012.

“Judy is an outstanding and dedi-

cated person who has been a terrific representative for B.C. ranchers,” said Kevin Boon, BCCA general manager.

In addition to championing agriculture, Guichon intends to continue the work of her predecessor, promoting literacy and aboriginal reconciliation.

Guichon has served as a director for the Fraser Basin Council of B.C., director of the Grasslands Conservation Council of B.C., was a member of the Nicola Water Use Management Planning Committee, served on the Provincial Task Force on Species at

Risk and the British Columbia Agri-Food Trade Advisory Council.

Guichon’s ranch was the first in B.C. to allow the Burrowing Owl Conservation Society of B.C. to re-introduce threatened burrowing owls to the ranch in 1992. One owl, born at the ranch in 2002, recently turned up in southern California, she said.

“The project’s doing very well.”

There will definitely be one reminder that Government House is inhabited by a rancher who happens to have a chef with a cattle background.

Grass-fed, B.C. beef will be on the menu, Guichon promised.

FOREIGN OWNERSHIP | XL FOODS

Industry official welcomes JBS takeover of XL Foreign ownership not always bad | JBS has a good track record overseas and will open new markets, says Ted Haney

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

The potential purchase of XL Foods assets by international meat giant JBS USA raises no concerns about foreign ownership for the former head of the Canadian Beef Export Federation.

Ted Haney said there were no other suitors for the federal Lakeside plant in Brooks, Alta., and other XL assets after Canada’s largest beef recall and temporary closure of the country’s second largest cattle slaughtering plant.

Haney, who is now president of the consulting firm Ranch 4 International, told a Nov. 1 meeting of the Southern Alberta Council of Public

We either shut the doors to foreign investment and we are happy with our slower pace of development, or we keep the doors open for investment and we celebrate and welcome them once they’re already here.

TED HANEY CONSULTANT

Affairs that foreign ownership shouldn’t be a concern.

He said Canadians work to attract foreign investment to develop various industries but then worry about it.

“Canadians, once we get those for-

eign assets, then we resent those foreign assets,” said the man who spent 20 years developing beef export markets.

“That’s an inconsistency that we have to deal with. We either shut the doors to foreign investment and we

pure performance.

are happy with our slower pace of development, or we keep the doors open for investment and we celebrate and welcome them once they’re already here. I happen to believe in the second one.”

Haney said many in the industry were surprised when Nilsson Bros. bought the Brooks plant from U.S.based Tyson three years ago.

JBS was thought to be a suitor at the time, he added, but didn’t see it as offering market access beyond what it already had through its earlier acquisition of Swifts.

However, many markets have reopened to Canadian beef in recent years, and access to China in particular favours Canada.

“I think what we’ve seen today is that, at the right price and with a recovery in market access, JBS has decided that this company is worth a very close look indeed.”

He said JBS paid less for the Brooks plant and accompanying assets than what Nilsson Bros. paid Tyson, so price was obviously another factor.

However, he said JBS is also a keen competitor to Cargill, which operates the largest federal beef processing plant in Canada at High River, Alta.

“They’re not going to give Cargill a day’s rest in competing for cattle.

They are going to compete hard with all the best suppliers, and that’s just

good news for us.”

Haney said JBS’s record of meat plants on several continents has proven its social contract to operate, while XL Foods’ lack of communication during the recall harmed its reputation.

“There appeared to me to be a distinct lack of transparency, of accountability, of humility, of apology and in fact it called into question, I believe, quite quickly that ownership’s social contract to continue operations.”

Export markets closed to beef from XL after the recall, and Haney said the slow pace of reopening those markets, now that the plant is operating under new management, is troubling.

He said the delay might be due to other countries’ relationships with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, which haven’t always been amicable.

“The speed at which foreign regulators resume trade in beef from the Lakeside plant is in part a measurement of the confidence they have in the CFIA properly overseeing safe food production in the plant, and it is a measure of the quality of relationship between them so that they want to co-operate and act quickly,” said Haney.

“I have no doubt that there’s a regulator or two around the world that sees this a little bit as their opportunity to balance the tables.”

One of the favourite events at the Farm and Home Week was the livestock show held in the Livestock Pavilion on campus.

Farm and Home Week The University of Saskatchewan, in co-operation with a number of farm organizations, established Farm Week, as it was called during the first decade, to provide a forum for discussion of developments in agriculture and related fields.

One of the main objectives of the program was to give farmers, their families, and staff of the College of Agriculture the opportunity to meet on campus to discuss matters of common interest relating to the agricultural industry. Over the years the program broadened to include many agencies and institutions, with several organizations holding their annual business meetings on campus during Farm and Home Week.

By 1981 over 60,000 persons had participated in Farm and Home since the week-long program began in 1933.

Project sees fruit put to good use Tree owners register | The Salvation Army, food bank and Gospel Mission benefit

BY ROSS FREAKE FREELANCE WRITER

KELOWNA, B.C. — Jean Farina knows who to call when she needs fruit picked from her backyard trees — the Fruit Tree Project.

Farina and husband, Luigi, moved to West Kelowna from Langley, B.C., five years ago and had searched for a gleaning group to take her excess fruit and vegetables.

“I have been trying to promote this forever,” said Farina, who gives away a lot of the produce from her backyard garden, where she and Luigi grow a copious amount of fruit and vegetables on their half-acre lot overlooking Okanagan Lake.

“They were polite, prepared and worked as a team,” she said.

“They cleaned up after themselves and any leaves or branches that needed picking up they put in our green bin. Any fruit beyond saving was emptied into our compost. They did everything.”

The Fruit Tree Project, a child of the Central Okanagan Food Policy Council, was formed this year to turn fruit from thousands of trees into a source of food for the community by harvesting otherwise wasted fruit.

“In May, we went public and asked

tree owners to register their trees with us,” said Casey Hamilton, cochair of the food policy council.

“No one knew who we were, so we used Facebook for most of our campaigning. We had our first pick in July. We had about 10 volunteers and we showed up at this man’s house.

We descended on the cherry tree and had it picked in an hour.”

The group gave 30 pounds to the Salvation Army and 50 lb. to the food bank. The Salvation Army, food bank and Gospel Mission also received fruit when it picked an apple orchard.

“Most of it had been picked, but there were quite a few apples left and the owner and family came out and helped,” said Laura Hsu, Fruit Tree Project co-ordinator.

“The owner was totally passionate about sharing with people who are less fortunate. It was neat to see him passing on these values of caring for the community to his children.”

Bill and Ursula Ulrich were two of the volunteers who helped pick almost 5,000 pounds of fruit in 31 endeavours. They also used their van to deliver the fruit.

“We went out to one orchard and there were more cherries than they could do anything with,” said Bill Ulrich. “And the last one we went to,

we could have picked apples all day.

It’s quite evident that if fruit isn’t gathered, it just goes to waste. There’s a strong need for food banks to have good fruit like that.”

Rob Weller, operations manager for the Kelowna food bank, said the organization appreciates the fresh fruit because it is such a staple of a healthy diet.

“We’re not only feeding people but trying to get them the most nutritious food possible. And this year, we received the largest volume of fruit we have ever received.”

NOW (New Opportunities for Women) Canada also appreciated the donated fruit.

“Fresh produce isn’t something you can afford to buy when you’re on a low income,” said Liz Talbott, executive director for NOW, which runs a 20-bed emergency shelter, three transition houses and 60 apartment units.

“The ladies in the apartments weren’t just eating them fresh, but were making things with it. We had pies everywhere.”

It was also nice to have the fruit delivered.

“That was so fantastic,” Talbott said.

“It was such a delight, the icing on the cake, with a smile and a chat.”

Convocation Hall, College Building was the main venueorganization business meetings were held in the morning and lectures of interest to all took place in the afternoon.

‘Charter’ members of Farm Week included Saskatchewan Agricultural Societies, the Field Husbandry Association, and the Seed Growers Association. A seed fair and a parade of fine animals in the livestock pavilion were highlights for many years.

In 1948 the name was expanded to “ Farm and Home Week” and that name continued for the life of the program. Organizations came and went but two very significant entries were the Rapeseed (now Canola) Grower’s Association of Saskatchewan in 1972 and the Pulse Grower’s Association of Saskatchewan in 1978.

The Farm and Home Week program was moved to February and 1992 was the last time the program was held as a university event. Since then organizations have formed “ Crop Week” and the January tradition of meetings and lectures is now bigger than ever. www.agbio.usask.ca

RECYCLING | FARM WASTE

PLASTIC DISPOSAL SURVEY

Pilot program examines ways to collect, recycle farm waste Information gathered | CleanFarms stewardship organization is working with grain bag manufacturers to design a collection program

BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Saskatchewan farmers may soon be able to dispose of their plastic waste in more environmentally sustainable ways.

A pilot program for farm waste now underway is scheduled to end April 2014.

It is one of several pilot programs on the Prairies that will study how to best collect, recycle and reuse plastic waste used on farms.

“It’s a waste of resources and really it’s a waste of jobs because people can recycle and reuse these materials,” said Barry Friesen, general manager of CleanFarms, a non-profit industry stewardship organization.

“That’s what CleanFarms is all about. To take these materials that in the past had no home and to provide new uses for them.”

T h e o r ga n i z at i o n o p e rat e s a national empty pesticide and fertilizer container collection program and an obsolete pesticide collection campaign.

A recent study found that farmers in British Columbia dispose of 5,500 tonnes of packaging waste a year. As well, 32,000 tonnes of packaging used to transport farm products to retail stores and households leaves B.C. farms annually.

“The study shows there are a lot of different types of waste on farms, like plastic and cardboard, that needs programs that will allow farmers to recycle those products,” said Friesen.

“We know through our existing programs that farmers are willing to participate in stewardship schemes.

Now we have the information we need to develop new programs to benefit farmers and the environment.”

Like the B.C. study, Friesen said the first step in other provinces is to find out how much waste is on farms and how best to collect and recycle it.

Leading the list of waste on the Prairies are the plastic field bags that farmers use to store their grain, bale wrap that producers use to cover their hay, twine and netting.

Friesen said it is difficult to determine the amount of plastic waste until studies are completed or updated. This is particularly the case with grain bags, which are a relatively new technology.

“Less than 10 years of usage and as farms change their equipment and get bigger, we’re going to see an increase in plastic being used.”

The Saskatchewan environment ministry is funding a grain bag and twine recycling pilot program in Moose Jaw. CleanFarms has been asked to work with the manufacturers of these products to see if a stewardship program is possible similar to the successful collection of pesticide containers.

Friesen gives high marks to farmers for this particular success.

“A very high percentage of them want to do the right thing. We collect

66 percent of all pesticide containers and it’s a voluntary program in almost every province. I think that’s a testament to the fact that they’ll do the right thing if given the tools to do the job.”

He predicted that governments will eventually force manufacturers to consider recycling, particularly with

plastic grain bags.

“In many provinces now, managing the end of life of a product is the manufacturer’s responsibility,” he said. “He will be looking to manufacturers and importers of these products to work on their behalf to recycle these things in the most cost effective and environmental way.”

COMMUNITY | RURAL CULTURE

General store delivers the goods for 65 years Community hub | Pick up mail or gas up the vehicle, then sit down with a fresh baked doughnut at the Crooked Creek General Store

BY RANDY VANDERVEEN FREELANCE WRITER

CROOKED CREEK, Alta. — The general store has been the heart of rural communities across the West for generations.

They have ser ved as the local grocer, hardware store, post office, coffee shop and all-purpose gathering place for thousands of Canadians.

But in recent years, they have fallen out of popular rural culture and few remain standing today.

But in Crooked Creek, the general store continues to serve as the hub of the community.

The Crooked Creek General Store, which was taken over by new owners Louis and Ethel Eidse and Linda Thiessen in April, provides services many urban residents access at several different locations.

It is fitting that the Eidses took over the store with its historic link to the community because their grandparents were among the first group of four people to settle in the area in the

late 1920s. They claimed their homestead in 1928 and moved to the area in 1929.

“My mother is the only one still alive of the original group of people who came here,” Louis says as he sorts the day’s mail.

The store, which was built in 1947, serves as the post office, fueling station, corner store, bakery and coffee shop for the communities of Crooked Creek and Ridge Valley located between Grande Prairie and Valleyview.

While the post office, fuel, and grocery store have been part of the store since it was first built, the fresh baked goods have provided a new option, attracting locals and workers in the area, as well as passersby, who stop for fresh doughnuts baked daily.

The change in ownership and the store’s ser vices are not the only changes in the store’s 65 year history.

The store was moved north in 1956 to its present location after the highway was relocated.

WORLD IN BRIEF RESEARCH

Pig genome map may help fight disease LONDON, U.K. (Reuters) — Scientists have mapped the genome of the domestic pig in a project that could enhance the animal’s use for meat production and the testing of drugs for human disease.

A study published in science journal Nature identified genes that could be linked with illnesses suffered by farmed pigs, providing a reference tool for selective breeding to increase their resistance to disease.

“This new analysis helps us understand the genetic mechanisms that enable high quality pork production, feed efficiency and resistance to disease,” said Sonny

Ramaswany, director of the United States Department of Agriculture’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture.

EU BUDGET

EU aims to soothe Britain BRUSSELS, Belgium (Reuters) — European Union chief Herman Van Rompuy tabled a compromise draft EU budget, aiming to mollify Britain, which wants spending cuts, but risking angering France by reducing farm subsidies.

Britain has threatened to veto the seven-year budget, saying the EU should limit spending. Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands have demanded similar restraint.

Van Rompuy’s draft would

reduce the roughly one trillion euro proposed budget for 2014-20 by about 80 billion euros.

The proposal also safeguards a budget rebate paid to Britain each year to compensate for the relatively small amount of agricultural subsidies it receives, a payment many other countries resent but recognize would be politically difficult to withdraw.

Under the proposal, all EU countries would share the cost.

Vilsack, who is expected to stay in his position for at least the start of president Barack Obama’s second term, said the agriculture department “would do everything we can” to implement a new farm bill in time for the 2013 harvest next fall.

With deficit reduction at the top of the agenda for lawmakers, Vilsack said “reform becomes a very

Months ago Obama suggested $33 billion in agricultural cuts, and analysts say the best chance to pass a farm bill this year would be to use its budget cuts as part of an overall plan to reduce the federal deficit.

But they see little chance of a budget pact and say the farm bill is a minor issue for lawmakers to spend time on, compared to looming automatic budget cuts and tax increases.

AGFINANCE

Australian company rejects ADM offer SYDNEY, Australia (Reuters) — Australia’s GrainCorp rejected a $2.8 billion US takeover offer from Archer Daniel Midland Co. Nov. 15, saying the bid undervalued the grains handler after a bumper harvest delivered a record annual net profit.

ADM’s bid comes at a time of dramatic consolidation in the global grains sector amid intense competition to feed fast-developing countries seeking food security.

GrainCorp is the last available independent large asset in Australia, which is an attractive market due to a stable policy regime and good links to Asia, leading to speculation of a counterbid.

The Australian grains handler, which sources say is pressing for an offer up to 15 to 20 percent higher from ADM, highlighted a 19 percent boost in profits and lifted its longterm earnings forecasts.

Ukraine uses corn for loan repayment KIEV, Ukraine (Reuters) — Ukraine may start its first shipments of corn to China by the end of this year under an agreement that will allow it to pay back a $3 billion loan to the Asian giant.

Ukrainian agricultural minister Mykola Prysyazhnyuk said the way was clear for shipments to start after the two sides reached agreement on sanitary and other quality requirements for supplies of the commodity.

“Shipments of Ukrainian (corn) will be made in accordance with inter-government agreements and by private companies as well,” Prysyazhnyuk was quoted as saying by his ministry.

The outline agreement should enable Ukraine to pay off $3 billion worth of credit extended by China this summer, he said.

This year’s 50 top innovations in agricultural engineering have been awarded, including a larger than usual number of products that could potentially be used in Western Canada.

Each year, a panel of agricultural engineers from the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers chooses what it feels are the most innovative products to reach the international marketplace. The association’s Resource Magazine sponsors the awards.

The best of these will be chosen for further recognition at the ASABE technology conference held in conjunction with Ag Connect Expo in Kansas City this winter.

The Western Producer will feature several of the top 50 innovations in the upcoming weeks. Visit bit.ly/ T66VV9 to view all of the AE50 award winners.

As well, The Western Producer will cover the top finalists from the ASABE annual conference next year.

One of the winners was Versatile’s new ML Series precision air drill.

The new hoe drill relies on an independent shank with parallel linkage but doesn’t use hydraulic pressure to ensure continuous ground following for precision seed and fertilizer placement.

Springs and frame pressure establish seed furrow profile and trip force.

The air drill automatically adjusts packing pressure to maintain the specified seed placement and furrow profile regardless of furrow type selected, soil conditions or terrain.

John Deere has made new automation available that is coupled with its harvest telematics to allow combine operators to assume control of a Deere tractor pulling a grain cart.

Once the combine has control, it can synchronize speed and lateral position of the cart and tractor while unloading on the go.

Machine Sync also provides logistics information such as tank filling status for multiple combines on the company’s GreenStar 3, 2630 Display.

Tractor and cart operators can decide which combine will need unloading first based on the screen information.

The KSi Model 2114 high‐capacity conveyor with drive‐over swing‐ away can handle pulse crops or any product that benefits from a light touch during elevation.

The drive-over belt is 30 inches wide while the loader belt is 21 inches. The loader can push 10,000 bushels per hour inside its 14-inch tube. The unit uses dual drives to lift grain and oilseeds up to a 36 degree angle while maintaining even tension across the belt width.

The drive‐over section folds beside the main conveyor during transport and is hydraulically shifted into position for loading or trailing. It is available in 85, 100 and 115 foot lengths.

The New Holland 840CD rigid draper header for small grain is available in 25, 30, 35, 40 and 45-foot widths and uses the company’s Syncroknife drive.

It has an integrated transport system and its hydraulics are isolated between functions, which allows for independent adjustment of knife speeds and draper controls.

Cab controlled cut angles from four degrees forward to three to the rear assist in crop flow on the 83 inch wide in-feed belts.

Vermeer’s new BPX9000 bale processor is a high capacity bale feeder for beef cattle producers. Its cut control system produces quality feed while its self cleaning rotor keeps net and twine from tying up the drum.

An optional square bale kit allows round and square bales to be processed. A T-shaped frame unit relies on a slat and chain bed and offset rotor, keeping maintenance to a minimum.

A pivoting spout allows the Casein Axial Flow 230 combines to aim grain unloading within the truck or cart.

A computer system learns and retains the location that is being used, but it can be instantly directed to another position for differing boxes.

The stream can be diverted up to two feet without loss of unload capacity.

When disengaged, the unit becomes a grain saver by pivoting up to stop the dribble of grain from the auger.

SEEDING | PRECISION CANOLA

Corn planter effective in precision canola seeding Vacuum planter used | Manitoba field trial showed wide row spacing viable in canola

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

A corn planter places canola seed more accurately than does an air drill, according to producers who have tried it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The accurate seed placement of a planter is the big factor. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what makes this whole idea potentially viable,â&#x20AC;? says Andrew Dalgarno, a canola grower from Newdale, Man. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was a lot of talk last winter about guys sowing canola with a corn planter. They were cutting way back on their seeding rate and still getting an acceptable stand, so we decided to try it this year.â&#x20AC;?

Dalgarno, a partner in Pen-Dale Farms Ltd., conducted trials comparing a John Deere 7300 vacuum planter on 22 inch spacings to a Bourgault 5710 and a Seed Hawk.

He also conducted six trials on soybeans and grain corn.

Dalgarno compiles a Post-Harvest Report every fall that he sends to those who toured his plots during the summer or expressed interest in his trials. The following information is

Precision planting with a Monosem vacuum planter in trials near Lacombe, Alta., proved effective. However, the 18 inch and 24 inch spacings took longer to canopy. The 24 inch spacings were in flower prior to canopy. The seedling mortality appeared to be similar with both planter and air seeder, but planter seedlings had a better chance of becoming full grown, yield producing plants. | CRAIG SHAW PHOTOS extracted from his 2012 report.

He said he was interested in seeing how an independent opener machine would work on a heavily tilled field.

He also wanted to test the use of a

vacuum planter on canola.

The field was too wet to seed in 2011 so it ended up as chemfallow.

In late summer, a Salford RTS was used to dry out the soil, chop the

weeds and provide light tillage.

He noticed during the fall anhydrous ammonia application and the spring pre-seed burn off and seeding that the RTS had left the field smooth with an almost ideal seedbed.

Anhydrous ammonia was applied in the fall at 57 pounds of nitrogen per acre, while a phosphorus, potassium and nitrogen blend of fertilizer was banded in the spring before seeding.

Soil test results indicated a blend of 36 lb. per acre of phosphorus, 19 lb. per acre of potassium and 22 lb. per acre of sulfur. This also produced an additional 27 lb per acre of nitrogen.

A pre-seed burnoff of Cleanstart was used because Roundup Ready canola had previously been planted on the field.

Wide row spacing a challenge in canola Seeding with corn planter | Seed treatment plugs holes

Producers who have tried seeding canola on wide row spacings are cautiously optimistic and taking steps to s o l v e t h e p ro b l e m s t h a t h av e occurred.

Some growers have used their air drills, but most have opted for a corn planter from Deere, Case, Kinze or Monosem.

However, the problem is the same no matter which planter they use: seed treatment flakes off the seed and plugs the tiny holes in the metering disc.

However, there are solutions to the plugging problem, said Jesse Beach, precision farming specialist with Future Ag, the Case IH dealer in Red Deer.

“One of our customers developed a blow-out system that uses compressed air to keep the holes clean,” said Beach.

Beach said the only option for cleaning the holes was a star wheel from John Deere until the pneumatic system was installed on a Case planter last year.

“The star wheel would ride over the holes as the disc spun. The little fingers would poke through the holes and keep them clean as the disc went around,” Beach said.

“That’s what farmers have been using to keep the holes open. The problem is that the star wheel is plastic so they broke.

“A farmer I was working with came up with the idea of blowing air through the disc periodically. You get to the end of the row, hit the switch to give the discs a blast of air and the holes stay open.”

Beach said most planters have compressed air, so it’s not a big deal to run the pressure lines to the metering discs. There’s a spot on the disc that’s open to the atmosphere, he added, and the air blows through that hole.

Any loose seed treatment in the chamber is blown out the hole.

Beach said he knows of only one planter that has a blow-out system to keep the holes open.

Future Ag orders blank discs from Case and gets them drilled at a machine shop in Red Deer.

Beach said the grower he was work-

Deere vacuum planter plots were planted May 21. Soil temperatures were 18 to 20 C. Target depth for all plots was three-quarters of an inch.

Speed was four m.p.h.

Emergence on the Seed Hawk plots was excellent.

Dalgarno said the Seed Hawk at three to four lb. seed per acre seemed to be similar in timing to the Bourgault at five lb. per acre.

The Seed Hawk plots with the lighter seeding rates required more

time to branch out to fill in the space in the field before flowering began.

The John Deere planter plots seemed to be slightly behind the other plots throughout the growing season.

However, he said this might be because of the four day delay in planting and the fact that the rest of the plots received six millimetres of rain May 19.

The swather operator reported that the Seed Hawk plots at five and six lb.

Future Ag outfitted two corn planters with canola discs capable of precise canola seed metering. | JESSE BEACH PHOTO ing with did all the research and development work himself on the blow-out system.

“He did a lot of experimenting and testing in the field before he got it the way he wanted. He went through four or five sets of discs before he was able to find the number that works. He ended up with 140 holes.

Extreme winds Sept. 11-12 blew the swaths quite a bit. Delgarno said this was the first time he had ever seen a canola swath hanging off a power line.

However, he was still able to get a reasonable set of results.

Morris disc drill designed to improve seed placement Walking axle technology | Reduced cutting angle produces narrow, easy to close furrows at higher speeds

BY ROBIN BOOKER SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A new disc drill designed to work faster and boost seed placement accuracy is expected to be available soon to prairie farmers.

Morris Industries has been researching and designing their new depth controlled opener system since 2009. It tried nine different opener systems on a plot drill in a variety of field conditions.

Ultimately, it settled on a 20 inch flat disc connected to a 13-inch double-shouldered packer by a walking axle, which obtains down pressure from a hydraulic system similar to what is on the company’s contour drill.

Don Henry of Morris Industries said vertical discs can have problems penetrating in some soil conditions.

However, unlike competitors that pile weight on to get the discs to stay at depth, Morris uses walking axle

Morris Industries’ disc drill uses downward pressure from the packer to keep each disc in contact with the soil for even seed placement. | MORRIS INDUSTRIES PHOTO technology, in which disc and packer work against one another.

“The disc is connected on a walking axle to packing wheel,” Henry said.

“It pivots in the middle, so if the front disc wants to ride out of the ground the back packer will force it back in.”

The walking axle allowed Morris to reduce the cutting angle the discs need to penetrate the soil. As a result, Henry said, there is less smearing on the disc and the furrow is easier to close.

To apply pressure on the opener, Morris uses a hydraulic down pressure system.

“There is a cylinder on every one of the disc openers. We use an accumulator in the system. So once you put the unit into the ground with your tractor, you can release your remote and then oil is exchanged through the accumulator as it goes over the contours of the ground.”

To improve seed placement accuracy the easily adjustable gauge wheels are on the discs where seed placement takes place.

The gauge wheel has spokes, allowing mud to flow through in wet conditions preventing build up, which can stop the disc, Henry said.

To reduce seed bounce, the seed table is backward swept to the disc so it drops seed in the same direction of travel.

Last summer, Morris fielded four prototype drills: one 40 foot drill in Kazakhstan and one in East Australia, as well as a 40 and 60 foot

You can really pile on the acres with that machine. I was impressed. There is no real downside to it. You can seed fast, field finish is very smooth, and seed placement is much more accurate than a shank.

ROBERT MISKO FARMER

drill in Canada.

Robert Misko farms near Bield, Man., and he seeded about 3,500 acres into wheat, canola and corn with the 60 foot prototype last spring.

The seeder allowed Misko to seed at about 7.5 m.p.h., and seed up to 60 acres per hour.

“You can really pile on the acres with that machine,” Misko said.

“I was impressed. There is no real downside to it. You can seed fast, field finish is very smooth and seed placement is much more accurate than a shank.”

There is no shortage of stones or awkward fields in the Bield hills, but Misko said the drill performed well in challenging conditions.

“They don’t actually apply that much force in the ground. The disc can come out quickly and go up and over when it hits a stone,” Misko said.

“It goes through the stony stuff and up and down trough the hills and dips and stays consistent. You will probably do more in an hour than an 85 foot drill with shanks. A 60 foot drill is a big machine, but it’s much better then an 85 foot or 90 foot drill when you’re trying to get into difficult places.”

Misko said independent openers that have the gauge wheel two or three feet behind the opener will never be as accurate in terms of depth control as drills like this model that have the gauge wheel right beside the coulter.

“When you hit a lump the shank goes right through it before the tire can pick it up. Then when the gauge wheel does hit the lump, it picks the shank up two feet past where it needed to be brought up,” Misko said.

“This machine has a gauge wheel right beside the disc, so wherever you set it at, that’s where it sits at.”

Morris is selling 10 units around the world this spring, and plan on being in full commercial production by the spring of 2014. It will be producing 40, 50 and 60-foot models, which will be offered with 7.5, 10 and 15 inch row spacing.

“We think the machine is ready to go, but we want to put a manageable number of them out there in case there is something we haven’t seen yet, so we will be able to react to it in a small way and make the changes necessary,” Henry said.

FARMLAND | VALUES

Average U.S. Plains farmland prices reach record highs Third quarter results reported | U.S. Plains farmland prices jump as much as 25 percent but rate of gain slows CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — Average farmland prices in the U.S. Plains states jumped as much as 25 percent in the third quarter and set new highs, says the Kansas City Federal Reserve.

However, the rate of gains slowed down from the torrid pace of the past two years, the Kansas City Fed’s quarterly survey said.

“Drought conditions had little effect on the demand for farmland, and bankers expected sales to remain solid, even with a seasonal upswing in the number of farms for sale after harvest,” according to the

survey of 241 regional bankers.

The survey, along with reports from the Chicago and St Louis Fed banks, is a closely watched gauge of the U.S. farm economy. Farmland is basic collateral for most farm loans.

The Kansas City Fed distr ict stretches across the major wheat, corn and cattle states of Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Wyoming and parts of New Mexico and Missouri.

“Lenders continued to lower average interest rates on both farm real estate and farm operating loans to attract borrowers in an extremely

competitive lending environment,” the bank said.

It said the drought hurt farm incomes in the July-September quarter as escalating feed and fuel prices pushed production costs higher and boosted demand for farm loans.

Sky-rocketing land values have stirred banker fears about the possibility of a ruinous farmland bubble , such as the one seen in the 1980s U.S. farm crisis when over-leveraged farmers lost their land as interest rates jumped.

However, farmers are carrying much less debt today, thanks to

record incomes in recent years.

“It’s still a hot market,” said Jason Henderson, chief economist with the Kansas City Fed. “I think people are expecting prices to hold at least until the first part of the year.… Right now what we are seeing is the demand is still very strong, even though there is more land being put on the market.”

The bank said land value gains continued to increase faster than cash rents. Annual rental rates increased an average of 12 percent for cropland and ranchland in the third quarter, it added.

Non-irrigated cropland values climbed 24.4 percent from the third quarter of 2011, while irrigated land values were up 21.9 percent and ranchland prices appreciated 14.3 percent.

H o w e v e r, c r o p l a n d v a l u e s increased only three percent compared to the second quarter and ranchland appreciated only two percent.

“Farmland values rose further during harvest, though gains were more modest compared with the surge seen during the past two years,” the Kansas City Fed said.

Three cookies a day could make the pounds melt away.

The University of Calgary is seeking 60 people between the ages of 18 and 70 who are overweight or obese to participate in a study in which they eat three high fibre cookies a day.

The study begins in January and ends in April.

The cookies will resemble a dry biscuit and contain 15 grams of fibre from dry, yellow peas. The recipe is being formulated and tested for palatability at the Food Processing Development Centre in Leduc, Alta.

“We decided to test one pea ingredient at a time,” said Raylene Reimer, a researcher and dietician with the U of C’s faculty of kinesiology.

“In animal models, we have tests with pea flour and the fibre, and they both have good properties.”

Food guides recommend eating about half a cup of pulses per day, but few people do.

“We know there are lots of good health properties in legumes, so if people eat the whole legumes, we can see benefits for blood cholesterol, with weight management, with controlling blood sugar,” she said.

The university contacted pulse grower organizations to obtain supplies of peas, but the commissions are not funding the study.

The study asks participants to eat three cookies per day and fill out food records. They must come to the university once a month to be weighed and to have their blood tested to assess cholesterol, insulin, glucose and inflammatory markers. They also receive a body fat scan and bone mineral density test.

Half the group will receive the high fibre cookie and the rest will receive a low or no fibre product for comparison.

Men should eat 38 grams of fibre per day and women need 25 grams.

The average Canadian eats 13 grams.

Peas contain a mixture of soluble and insoluble fibre.

FARMFAIR | CHAMPIONS

Angus breeders take supreme honours for second year Farmfair vital to marketing, say winners | Quality, not quantity, is focus of breeding program STORIES BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

EDMONTON — Lee and Dawn Wilson are modest in their answers, but the couple from Bashaw, Alta., must be doing something right after winning supreme champion bull, supreme champion female and supreme breeders herd at Farmfair for the second year in a row.

“It is a consensus of opinion.

Every single animal in the ring is a champion, so it could go to any one of them. We are fortunate to be named supreme, but there are so many really extremely good cattle in our industry. I guess we’re lucky,” Dawn said moments after six judges named their Red Angus bull, Black Angus female and breeders herd best of the 12 breeds in the show ring.

“I am just speechless, it is just amazing, absolutely amazing,” said Dawn, whose family won another two trucks to go along with the pair won last year, bringing their total to

five trucks won in recent years.

Building a herd of winning cattle isn’t an overnight success, said Dawn, who began showing and building a cattle herd more than 40 years ago and continued with her husband when they were married 24 years ago.

“We focus on females in our herd, but when we get the bulls along the way we are thrilled,” said Dawn, whose family runs the Miller Wilson farm.

“It’s been a lot of years breeding.

You can’t take away from the rest of the breed champions.”

The couple continually searches for cattle that will fit in with their breeding program.

“There is all kind of good cattle in Canada and the world, and it’s a matter of going out there and seeing what is out there that fits in with your herd,” she said.

“We focus on sound structural cattle, feet and muscle, the same as everyone else. We are always on the search for something new.”

The couple runs 120 cows on their central Alberta farm, focusing on genetics, embryo and semen sales.

“We don’t have a really large herd, but we try and focus on a good quality animal.”

Wilson said her family spends hours working with the cattle, both at home and at shows throughout the year. Their next trip is to Canadian Western Agribition in Regina.

“We are very, very lucky to have three kids involved and nieces and nephews that are tremendously helpful to us,” she said.

“There are good cattlemen within our family, but a lot of good cattlemen within this industry we look to for guidance and direction as well.”

Wilson said they don’t always get the breeding right. What looks good originally doesn’t turn out to be the showstopper they’re looking for.

“Often we’re right, but sometimes we’re wrong, but that’s the fun of breeding cattle. You’re trying to mix parts and come up with the best piece you can make and that really

is where our passion lies is in breeding.”

Lee said it’s those years of trial and error that have built their cattle herd.

“We change our mind daily and they come and go,” said Lee, after the judges slapped the back of his Red Angus bull declaring it the supreme champion.

Shows like Farmfair play a vital role in their marketing strategy, helping to show off their herd to people from overseas and across Alberta. Winning supreme champ i o n i s just o ne m o re way o f encouraging prospective buyers to visit their farm, he said.

“It’s always great advertising, but it allows us to advertise internationally and adds credibility to our program. If people aren’t at the show, people can look at the results and say, OK, someone thought they were good animals,” he said.

“You have to show to export. You have to let our customers know how we stand within our peers.”

EDMONTON — With shaking hands, Rachael Wheeler held her cellphone to her ear to get the final go ahead from her parents in Australia to nod her head one more time and buy a bred heifer at the Headliner All Breed Sale at Farmfair International.

Wheeler’s final bid of $27,000 bought her DMM Blackcap Essence 7Y, a Black Angus heifer from Miller Wilson Angus in Bashaw, Alta, owned by Lee and Dawn Wilson.

“I’m still shaking. I think everyone could see how nervous I was. I show cows and I never get that nervous. It’s really nice to be able to come and do this,” said Wheeler of Dubbo, New South Wales.

Wheeler’s parents, Michelle and Daniel, used a live internet connection to watch the sale on their computer and give the nod for the final purchase.

“It was a bit hard to hear,” she said.

“Your auction system is a bit different than ours so I actually had someone here helping here. They were watching the auction as it happened, live streamed. They could see exactly what was happening. It was just a matter of keeping in touch and making sure we got it done.”

It’s the fifth time Wheeler has travelled to Canada to check out and buy Canadian cattle for her aunt and uncle’s Hollywood Angus operation and now for her own family’s T & R Cattle.

“We wanted to buy a good heifer over here and we wanted to buy the top one we could get,” she said.

“She’s just a super made heifer. I’ve been over here four or five times, and Lee and Dawn’s cattle have always been on the top of my list. They’ve probably got one of the best breeding herds I’ve ever seen. This heifer just caught my eye. We liked her pedigree, we like her sire. When you look at all his progeny and offspring he’s had, they’ve all had that same gain.

So we certainly knew we are going on the right track.”

Wheeler said they plan to leave the heifer in Canada for future shows and bring embryos from the heifer back to Australia for their own herd.

Dawn Wilson said the heifer has been “pretty special right from a calf” and hoped it would bring a good price at the Headliner show.

“You’re always hoping. You always hope your best ones are worth good dollars,” said Miller.

It’s the third year for the multibreed sale at Farmfair. The owners of the top five animals in the judging before the sale and the people who bought them in the sale split $20,000 in payout money.

“It’s a great opportunity for people to take part in a sale,” Wilson said.

TORONTO — Holsteins trace back to a small number of key ancestors, which has some within the dairy industry concerned about inbreeding and loss of genetic diversity.

This risk was discussed at the World Holstein Conference held in Toronto Nov. 6-7.

Bulls with names like Starbuck and Blackstar were pivotal breed influencers in North America and Australia.

As the science of genomics advances, there is a chance breeders will select only the elite animals and create future problems. However, studying the genetics of thousands of bulls shows there is a large gene pool.

“One of the astonishing things when you do that is how much genetic variation still exists in our cattle,” said Ben Hayes, head of the Dairy Futures Co-operative Research Centre in Australia.

The organization is working with other countries on the “1,000 bulls genome project,” which is sequencing the DNA of key ancestors within purebred cattle breeds.

Eight groups are involved in the project, which has sequenced 236 bulls and two cows, including 130 Holstein, 48 Angus, 15 Jersey and 42 Fleckvieh.

Genomic information has allowed dairy cattle to achieve greater rates of genetic improvement in a shorter period of time, but it could also be associated with higher rates of inbreeding, said researcher Flavio Schenkel of the University of Guelph.

Studies at Guelph showed a clear reduction in genetic variance among Holsteins from 1950 to 2006.

Genomic selection started in 2009

Breeders need to blend pedigree and genomic information to study the effects of inbreeding and find ways to control it, say researchers. | FILE PHOTO following the release of the bovine genome in 2007.

“Genomic selection is expected to increase the loss of genetic variation due to inbreeding,” Schenkel said.

Inbreeding, in which close relatives are mated, can cause a decrease in performance, lower milk production and reduced fitness of the animals as well as possible genetic defects.

Breeders need to blend pedigree and genomic information to study the effects of inbreeding and find ways to control it, said Schenkel.

Artificial insemination companies also see a risk of inbreeding, said Marjorie Faust, senior research director of the genetics company ABS Global.

Fewer sire families are appearing in pedigrees, which happened more

often in the early stages of genomic adoption. However, it appears that more outcrosses are now being made rather than overusing the genetics of popular cattle.

“It remains to be seen if this is a true trend or whether it is just a reflection of the sire candidate population because we tend to see a lot of cyclicity, depending who the elite sires are,” she said.

RF Goldwyn Hailey proves to be perfect show cow STORIES BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

TORON TO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Ma r io C omtoi s nursed a beer before the big show to calm his nerves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is very stressful, you know,â&#x20AC;? he said in a lilting French accent.

This has been a very good year for the owner and showman of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supreme champion dairy cow at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair in Toronto.

His cow, named RF G oldwyn Hailey, won the national Holstein show and in October was named supreme champion at the World Dairy Expo in Madison, Wisconsin.

His family owned operation, GenCom Holstein Ltd., bought the cow as a youngster at the Cowtown Holsteins sale in Vermont. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She is a perfect show cow and she has done very well for us,â&#x20AC;? said Comtois.

Its Holstein classification is an excellent 97. Born in April 2006, the cow has had four calves and 11 offspring.

Embryos have been sold to Japan, Australia and Germany, and more offers to purchase were being made after the Royal show.

The farm at Notre-Dame-du-Bon Conseil, Que., milks 130 cows and has 500 head on site.

The farmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main business is livestock exports. Comtois has gathered thousands of beef and dairy cattle from across Canada and exported them to Russia, Kazakhstan and Ukraine. For the last five years he has exported milk cows to Russia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are looking for good, commercial milking cows,â&#x20AC;? he said during the Nov. 2-11 event.

He also exports pigs, shipping 30,000 purebred and F1 pigs to Cuba and Russia between 2004 and 2009.

THE ROYAL | RED AND WHITE WINNER

Red and white are the new black in Holsteins

S

TORONTO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; There was a time when nobody liked to admit they owned a red and white Holstein.

These days they are the favourite flavour, says Glen McNeil, president of Holstein Canada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you had a red and white and a black and white, the red would sell for a higher price,â&#x20AC;? McNeil said.

They have become so popular that a genome test will be released later this year for the red colour marker, and a test for the polled gene will be ready soon, he said at the sixth national red and white Holstein show at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair held Nov. 2-11 in Toronto.

The progress of this segment of the breed is growing, even though a smaller pool of red genetics is available.

McNeil said they are more popular in Switzerland than the traditional black and white, which is quite an achievement considering at one time they were culled.

Some breeders are now looking to build an entire red herd, he added.

A red cow named Blondin Redman Seisme was the supreme champion of the dairy show at the Royal in 2010, and this year it returned as a mature

cow to win grand champion of the red and white show. It was later named reserve supreme at the final show Nov. 10.

The cow was born in Quebec and was sold to Morsan Farms of Ponoka, Alta., in 2010. It sold to Milk Source Genetics of Wisconsin after the red show last year. The cow was inseminated at the show and had a calf in August.

Milk Source Genetics is owned by Jim Ostrom, John Vosters and Todd Willer near Kaukauna, Wis., in the Green Bay area. The farm started as a 30 cow dairy in 1965 and has expanded steadily. It now owns five dairy farms in Wisconsin.Milk Source was also premier breeder of the show.

LIVESTOCK CANADIAN WESTERN AGRIBITION | BISON MANAGEMENT

AT THE WASH RACK

Bison biosecurity the new normal Proactive measures | Producers should identify risks and establish risk tolerances STORIES BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Biosecurity was not something a lot of bison producers worried about in the past.

Bison herds had roamed wild and free and most who began raising them on their farms did so because they required less management.

But the past several years have seen a change in attitude about the importance of biosecurity measures on farms, between farms and at feedlots, said Murray Woodbury, the specialized livestock health and production research chair at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in Saskatoon.

He said there has been a wide spectrum of producers emerging within the industry from those who want to maintain the historical integrity of bison to those who are into largescale ranches and feedlots and more intensive management.

The cost of disease can become significant, regardless of where a producer is on the spectrum.

Keeping disease off the farm in the first place is critical.

“A lot of it is just common sense,” Woodbury told producers at the Canadian Bison Association annual convention Nov. 18 in Regina.

Producers should identify what risks their bison face and establish their own risk tolerance.

Those who say they have closed herds likely don’t. Vehicles, visitors and feed all make their way to farms and present risk. As well, there are risks within the herd.

“Usually calves are born healthy and acquire disease from older animals, other animals, contaminated feed and equipment” and other things in the environment, Woodbury said. “Keep the young away from the old. Calve in a clean, dry location. Limit the intensity of animal contact.”

Other things producers can do to keep disease risk low include limiting pen movement and cattle density and keeping healthy animals away from the sick.

“Hospital pens are hospital pens,” he said.

He also reminded producers to dispose of dead stock as soon as possible, except in the case of anthrax when disturbing the carcass could cause more disease.

Coyotes could feed on carcasses and spread neospora, a highly transmissible disease that causes abortions, through their feces. The same transmission could occur if coyotes get into feed sources and defecate.

Woodbury said other wildlife is a source of concern and should be watched. Deer can carry Johne’s disease, mice carry salmonella, flies cause pinkeye and close proximity to sheep can cause malignant catarrhal fever.

Wildlife can also pose risks to water, and he recommends that a clean trough or pipeline system be used to ensure quality water.

The risk between farms is mainly due to moving animals on and off farms.

Most disease is transmitted from the newly acquired animals to the resident animals, not older to younger as it would within a farm, he said.

“Purchase your stock from preferred buyers who have a preventative health and biosecurity plan,” Woodbury said.

Producers should inspect the animals coming to their farms or have their veterinarians do it, and they should ask questions about herd health status, vaccinations and treatment.

In a feedlot situation, Woodbury said animals should be inspected upon arrival and placed into either a soft quarantine in adjacent pens or a hard quarantine in isolation for a time.

Fences should be maintained both inside the feedlot and along the perimeter to ensure animals don’t escape or mix.

Operators should keep a record of the movement and removal of manure.

“And don’t use the same equipment to handle feed,” he said.

Continual risk management is a reality in the livestock business, Woodbury said.

“Nothing is perfect,” he said.

CANADIAN WESTERN AGRIBITION | BISON VACCINATIONS

Bison immunization money well spent Bison entering feedlots could benefit from pneumonia vaccines Vaccinating bison remains a management option for producers who must rely on vaccines developed for beef cattle.

Dr. Murray Woodbury, research chair in specialized livestock health and production at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine, said vaccines aren’t absolutely necessary but there might be reasons to administer them.

For example, bison entering a feedlot could benefit from being vaccinated for some types of pneumonia.

“You administer an appropriate vaccine to a healthy, unstressed bison and you will get a response that will protect the bison from the target disease under normal conditions,” he told those producers at the Canadian Bison Association con-

vention Nov. 18.

However, he asked them to note the qualifiers in his statement.

Bison are rarely unstressed when being handled and conditions aren’t always normal.

He reminded producers that vaccination is not the same as immunization. As well, just because a vaccine was administered doesn’t mean a bison won’t get a disease.

Immunization is a result of a process initiated in the body by the vaccine.

He said a pathogen in sufficient numbers can overwhelm even the most competent immune system.

“You have to have faith in your vaccine,” he said.

Producers who choose to vaccinate should be sure to follow the instruc-

tions regarding dosage and route.

“Don’t just give it IB — intra-bison,” he said.

Woodbury said producers should definitely not vaccinate against diseases that bison don’t get, such as bovine respiratory syncytial virus and parainfluenza-3.

Pinkeye vaccines tend not to work well, while foot rot vaccines don’t last long in bison.

On the other hand, anthrax vaccine can be a valuable tool, particularly in areas prone to the soil-borne disease.

Seven- and eight-way vaccines seem to work well against blackleg in bison, and Woodbury said they are probably worth the money.

“Vaccination is a waste of money.

Immunization is money well spent,” he said.

DIAGNOSTIC TESTS | SENSITIVITY AND SPECIFICITY

Diagnostic testing unable to achieve 100 percent accuracy ANIMAL HEALTH

JOHN CAMPBELL, DVM, DVSC

Vets use their knowledge and weigh other factors when interpreting results

V

eteri narians often rely on clinical and laboratory tests to diagnose disease in livestock species.

Diagnostic tests can be as simple as listening to a rumen with a stethoscope or as complicated as a laboratory procedure that isolates and identifies a particular virus or bacteria or measures a specific enzyme in the blood of an animal.

In many situations, these diagnostic tests are an essential part of arriving at a more conclusive diagnosis or assisting with the development of a treatment plan.

However, it is important to recognize that most diagnostic tests are not perfect tools. Test results can be misleading and in some situations may actually give the wrong answer.

Let’s look at a common example in one diagnostic procedure that we

commonly use in cattle.

The diagnostic test for tritrichomonas foetus (trich) in cattle is a relatively straightforward procedure.

This microscopic-sized, singlecelled parasite resides in the reproductive tract of cows and in the prepuce or sheath area of bulls. It is a venereal disease that is transmitted from bulls to cows and from cows to bulls by mating.

When cows become infected, the parasite can cause early embryonic death and subsequent infertility in the cow herd.

Veterinarians are often asked to test bulls for this parasite to make sure that we don’t bring an infected bull onto a breeding pasture.

The collection method is fairly simple: take a sample by scraping the inside of the bull’s sheath with a pipette and then culture this sample in an incubator for several days in a special culture media designed for the parasite.

The veterinarian or laboratory technician can then examine this sample under a microscope and look for the small, single-celled organism, which has typically multiplied in the culture media and now can be seen moving throughout the sample.

However, it turns out that this parasite is tricky to grow, and in spite of doing everything correctly, we may be able to isolate the organism from infected bulls only 80 to 90 percent of the time.

If I had a corral full of 100 bulls that

The sensitivity of some diagnostic tests is low, resulting in false negative results. | FILE PHOTO were all infected with trich, I would identify only 85 of them as positive with this diagnostic test if I tested every bull. This is sometimes called the “sensitivity” of the diagnostic test.

The test’s sensitivity is defined as how well it is able to identify diseased individuals. In this case, the test for trichomoniasis would have a sensi-

tivity of about 85 percent.

It also means that there is a 15 percent chance that we could incorrectly classify an infected bull as negative when using this test.

Veterinarians work around this potential diagnostic error by doing multiple tests on a bull to make sure it is negative.

The requirement to have three negative trich tests is designed to get around the problem of imperfect sensitivity of the diagnostic test.

We are sometimes asked to try to culture cows for this parasite, but the sensitivity is much lower and is probably less than 50 percent. We have so many false negatives that it really isn’t even worth the effort.

Therefore, all of the diagnostic efforts for trich are usually focused on the bull, where the test is a little more reliable.

It turns out that it is possible to make a mistake in the diagnostic process and also have a false positive diagnosis. Other parasites that normally reside in the feces can sometimes be mistaken for trich if manure contaminates the culture media.

A veterinarian or laboratory technician might mistake them for trich and call the bull positive when it is really negative.

It turns out that this diagnostic error is much more uncommon, probably occurring in less than one percent of uninfected bulls.

This diagnostic test characteristic is called “specificity” and refers to how

well the test correctly diagnoses uninfected animals. In this case, the test for trich would have a specificity of 99 percent.

The diagnostic test for trich, with a sensitivity of 85 percent and a specificity of 99 percent, is quite a good one.

Some diseases, such as Johne’s disease in cattle, are true diagnostic challenges and our best laboratory tests barely approach a sensitivity of 50 percent.

There are lots of false negative tests with this disease and it is difficult to screen herds effectively because of the poor sensitivity of the diagnostic tests.

Sensitivity and specificity are important characteristics of all diagnostic tests. Every diagnostic test, from the clinical examination to the laboratory test, has a possibility of either a false positive or a false negative result.

These diagnostic tests are important tools for veterinarians and producers, but veterinarians are always trying to interpret the results, keeping in mind the characteristics and probabilities of sensitivity and specificity.

Like many things in life, although we would like to have a clear cut answer to questions, we are still forced to deal with some uncertainty.

shares, we need to have some securities commissions approvals.”

The co-op plans to sell Canadian branded lamb to retailers and consumers in an effort to gain market share from imported lamb, mostly from Australia and New Zealand.

It says on its website that the market for lamb products is worth $600 mil-

lion a year and could double if lamb is consistently available at grocery stores and butcher shops.

Only active sheep producers will be able to join the co-op, which will have its head office in Saskatoon.

Terry Ackerman, the former general manager of Organic Meadow Co-op in Ontario who is setting up the new lamb co-op, said sheep producers are positive about the concept.

“Over 150 lamb producers have signed and submitted their (information request) forms and are waiting to purchase membership and investment shares,” he said in a Manitoba Rural Adaptation Council publication.

“Our plan is to recruit 650 producers in the next 24 to 35 months.”

The co-op intends to pay its members a price premium of five cents per

pound over prices in Ontario. It also plans to pay western and eastern Canadian producers the same price.

Western Canadian farmers typically receive a $20 to $25 freight discount on lambs shipped to Toronto and other major markets in Central Canada.

“Our feasibility studies have been done on a national pricing system. It doesn’t matter where you live in the country, you’re going to get paid the same price,” Schroeder said.

A federally inspected slaughter facility in the West will be needed to offset the discount, but the co-op doesn’t plan to build a plant.

Schroeder said details on how the co-op will offer a consistent price in spite of the shipping differential will come in the near future when the coop begins selling memberships.

RESULTS | THIRD QUARTER

Pulse company’s earnings hurt by poor pea and lentil exports SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Legumex Walker Inc.’s third quarter results were just as disappointing as those posted a week earlier by its competitor, Alliance Grain Traders.

Both pulse processers have been hit hard by falling pea and lentil sales.

“Despite a strong performance in our bean business and growth from our acquisitions in the U.S. and expansion in China, we experienced a slowdown in sales for certain of our

commodities, especially lentils and peas, which dampened our Q3 results,” Legumex president Joel Horn told investment analysts in a conference call.

Revenues for the quarter were $56.5 million, up from $41.4 million for the same quarter a year ago, although the quarter was only 79 days because the company began operations on July 14., 2011.

Sales were bolstered by strong bean shipments from the company’s plants in Manitoba and Minnesota.

Beans are a high-value product, which helped mask the poor performance of the company’s Canadian pea and lentil processing facilities.

Earnings before interest, depreciation and amortization for the quarter was a loss of $2 million compared to EBITDA of $1.9 million for the 79-day period a year ago.

One analyst noted Canada’s pea and lentil exports were good for the quarter. Horn said shipments were driven to places where Legumex has a lower market share and a lot of

product went out in bulk while the company usually ships containers.

Sales were also hurt by reports of a good Canadian pulse harvest.

“Buyers of certain products postponed purchases based on the expectation of a larger and less expensive new crop,” said Horn.

“We also passed on some low margin business due to heightened credit risk.”

Horn is confident the third quarter results were an anomaly. He sees normal sales in the fourth quarter.

overnments have consistently lowered taxes over the last several years for business in general but especially for small business.

It was intended to provide a stimulus for business and employment growth in this important sector of the economy.

However, to a certain degree, the Small Business Deduction (SBD) also worked to stimulate a large increase in the number of small Canadian corporations that file their taxes under SBD rates.

About 30 years ago, the government started clamping down on what it called Personal Service Businesses (PSBs) masquerading as small Canadian corporations.

Generally speaking, the Canada Revenue Agency considers a person operating a business to be a PSB corporation if that person provides services to a client corporation that would normally be provided in the same manner if the person was an employee of the client corporation.

The term “incorporated employee” is frequently used to describe this situation.

What concerned the government was the loss of higher–taxed, salaried employees to lower taxed corporations. The government appears to be rethinking the strategy, or at least attempting to stem the loss of tax dollars as a result of this favoured treatment.

The federal finance department

recognized this threat to government revenue and acted to remove the SBD and the ability to claim most ordinary expenses from companies that the CRA determines are actually PSBs. The lowering of the general business tax rates over the last several years and the introduction of new tax rules in 2006 that were more favourable to PSB corporations have essentially taken some of the sting out of measures designed to curb the proliferation of PSBs. The CRA began putting significant audit pressure on small incorporated businesses to curb the incidence of companies providing personal services but claiming the SBD. It recently performed more than 200 audits and determined that almost half were actually PSBs. Information technology (IT) consulting and contracting businesses have been a particular target.

Here is an example I recently encountered of how this could affect farm businesses.

A husband and a spouse each have an active corporation that is subject to the SBD. The husband’s corporation operates the farm while the wife’s corporation provides IT and computer consulting services. She also works on the farm.

In the past, work conducted by the

spouse on farm-related activities was paid as salary and an accompanying T4 slip was provided. This would then be taxed at the marginal tax rate applicable to the spouse, which invariably would be higher than the SBD tax rate.

The question then is, would it not be more favourable tax wise for the spouse’s corporation to invoice the husband’s corporation for work done and thus be taxed under SBD rates?

The problem is that the work done for the husband’s corporation would be considered as work provided by a PSB. Claiming it under SBD rates would almost certainly attract an audit and reassessment by the CRA. Grant Diamond is a tax analyst in Kelowna, B.C. with FBC, a company that specializes in farm tax.

CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — Federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz doesn’t think China’s review of Glencore’s takeover of Viterra under its anti-monopoly law is tied to Canada approving a Chinese takeover of a Canadian oil company.

The review by China’s commerce ministry, which could take until Dec. 10, is the final regulatory hurdle for Glencore International PLC’s $6.1 billion takeover of Viterra Inc. China is also waiting to hear if Canada will approve state-owned CNOOC’s $15.1 billion takeover of Nexen. Dec. 10 is Canada’s deadline to rule on that transaction.

“They’re treating these very differently, which of course they are,” Ritz said. “One is an investment into their country, predicated on what Glencore will do into the future. The other is an investment into Canada.”

MIKE WILSON AGRIUM

If the Chinese approval comes in December, Agrium Inc. expects to close its $575 million purchase of Viterra farm retail stores in the first quarter of 2013, Agrium chief executive officer Mike Wilson said.

Assuming the Glencore-Viterra deal closes as scheduled, Agrium will file for a review by Canada’s Competition Bureau in late December and hopes to close the deal late in the first quarter. Agrium would get 232 Canadian farm retail outlets as well as 17 stores in Australia.

CO-OP | FINANCIAL RESULTS

Record profit for CHS Inc. CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — CHS Inc. saw quarterly earnings jump 75 percent from a year ago, boosted by strong commodity prices and a global network of facilities.

The Minnesota-based company, the largest farm co-operative in the United States, is making initial investments in Canada’s grain industry.

It reported net income of $360.9 million for its fiscal fourth quarter ending Aug. 31, up from $206.5 million a year earlier.

Net income for the fiscal year ending Aug. 31 reached $1.26 billion, up 31 percent from the previous year. It was the first time a U.S. agricultural co-op surpassed $1 billion in annual earnings, according to CHS. The co-op joined bigger rivals Cargill Inc. and Bunge Ltd., two of the world’s largest agricultural trading houses, in attributing solid results to networks of employees and facilities.

Last month, Bunge said it doubled quarterly profits by mobilizing its global grain network to supply customers hit by the worst U.S drought in

more than 50 years. Cargill’s quarterly earnings more than quadrupled from a year earlier.

“The strength of our diverse CHS business portfolio, along with a strong domestic and global footprint, combined in fiscal 2012 to allow us to successfully navigate continued market volatility,” said CHS president Carl Casale.

CHS is owned by 350,000 farmers and ranchers, either directly or indirectly through 1,100 smaller co-ops.

Owners of CHS stock, which is traded on Nasdaq, are non-voting shareholders.

CHS bought Alberta farm retail supplier DynAgra Corp. in September and opened a small grain marketing office in Winnipeg last year A l s o i n S e p t e m b e r, C H S In c . announced plans to build a $1 billion nitrogen fertilizer plant in Spiritwood, N.D., to open in the last half of 2016.
