Sask. leads in farm income gains Canadian cash receipts up 6.1 percent | Statistics Canada predicts next year will see similar increases for farmers BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

By any measure, Saskatchewan agriculture has moved to the head of the class among Canadian provinces as a money generator. Last year, the province’s farms generated a realized net farm income (receipts minus expenses and depreciation) of $2.847 billion, 58 percent higher than the previous year and 150 percent higher than its closest rival, Quebec. And Statistics Canada farm income and cash receipts data published Nov. 26 suggest another great year in the making. To the end of September, farm cash receipts in Saskatchewan were $8.6 billion, seven percent higher than last year’s record performance. Gail-Ann Breeze, a Winnipegbased farm income analyst in the

Statistics Canada agriculture division, said in a Nov. 26 interview that the province had benefited from generally favourable weather and good crops, high prices for its commodities and increased marketings. “Those three things coming together explain the numbers,” she said. In contrast, Manitoba recorded a 17 percent decline in realized net income, largely because of floodaffected production reductions. Last year, the Alberta farm economy climbed out of a significant loss from the year before to a $367 million realized net farm income. T h i s y e a r, A l b e r t a f a r m c a s h receipts have been the strongest among provinces. Nation-wide last year, Canadian agriculture chalked up a record $5.677 billion in realized net income, a 53 percent increase from the previous year.

Richard Phillips, executive director of Grain Growers of Canada, said the farm income numbers reflect the new reality of agricultural prosperity. During a Nov. 26 GGC board meeting, a Bank of Montreal economist targeted agriculture as an industry with strong prospects. “I really think this shows we are in a new era in agriculture,” Phillips said. “We will not see records every year, but we will see good returns, strong land prices and a very strong base for the industry.” Statistics Canada said higher farm cash receipts came from almost across-the-board increases in farm receipts from major prairie sectors: grains, oilseeds, cattle and hogs. Cattle prices were up 19.5 percent, but receipts increased just one percent because of fewer animals to market. SEE FARM INCOME, PAGE 2

RECORD YEAR FOR FARM CASH RECEIPTS Farm realized net income in Canada hit a record level last year. Statistics Canada is reporting that in some parts of the country, particularly Saskatchewan and Alberta, 2012 is showing signs of being another banner income year as farm cash receipts from the first three quarters continue the trend of a buoyant farm economy. Farm cash receipts ($billions), first nine months of each year: 2011 2012 % change B.C. 1.89 1.95 +2.9 Alta. 7.62 8.76 +15.0 Sask. 8.08 8.64 +7.0 Man. 3.73 3.77 +1.0 Ontario 7.79 8.08 +3.7 Quebec 5.87 5.97 +1.7 Canada 36.21 38.42 +6.1 Source: Statistics Canada | WP GRAPHIC

Sask. leads nation After years in the economic doldrums and continuing complaints of losses, the hog industry last year saw a 15.5 percent increase in receipts to $3.9 billion because of a sharp price rise, according to Statistics Canada. Expenses also increased acrossthe-board but were eclipsed by the sharp rise in prices. And two provinces, Newfoundland and British Columbia, recorded realized net income losses last year. For the second consecutive year, the B.C. farm economy was in the red with losses growing to -$73 million last year from -$52 million in 2010. Program payments also rise Ironically, payments to farmers from government-supported programs also increased across the country, adding to the record farm income. The federal agency said program payments last year in the midst of record prices increased more than 11 percent to $3.5 billion. Higher crop insurance payments on the Prairies

and increased provincial stabilization payments accounted for the increase. There was a significant increase in farmer withdrawals from AgriInvest to $425 million, while AgriStability payments, poised to drop even more after new rules take effect April 1, fell more than 11 percent last year to $741 million. One of the sub-stories of the latest farm income data is the relative economic decline of Ontario among provinces. Long Canada’s agricultural powerhouse, Ontario last year recorded a significant increase in realized net income but still was only third in the country behind Saskatchewan and Quebec. This year, Ontario also placed third in provincial farm cash receipt totals behind Saskatchewan and Alberta for the first nine months. Ontario’s farm results are widely expected to be worse than last year because of a drought that severely damaged forage and livestock industries in eastern Ontario and fruit and vegetable production in productive southwestern Ontario.

For Capital Packers, the devil is in the paper work. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency didn’t suspend the Edmonton packing plant’s licence Nov. 22 because of tainted food product but because it couldn’t adequately track its products once they left the plant. “Our licence was suspended due to an ineffective recall program,” the company in a news release. Capital Packers voluntarily recalled ham sausage after routine testing found listeria on an employee’s sleeve at the beginning of November. No listeria was found in any of the packaged meat products, but the company couldn’t prove, through paperwork, that they knew where all of the potentially affected product was. As a result, it voluntarily recalled certain brands of ham sausage. Paul Mayer, CFIA’s associate vicepresident of programs, said the company’s licence has been suspended until it can develop a proper food safety plan.

“This finding was not in a food product but in an environmental finding. These findings are routine, but the company was not able to actually pinpoint if the potentially affected product was under its control,” Mayer said during a news conference. “In particular, the company has been unable to demonstrate it has effective processes in place to keep track of its production,” he said. Capital Packers has voluntarily recalled 378 cases of meat that may have been affected when the positive listeria test was found. It is sampling products produced during the same time. “To be clear, there have been no positive samples found in food products. At this time, we are taking precautionary action based on the positive sample on the sleeve of a uniform,” said Mayer. It’s not the first time the CFIA has shut down the Edmonton plant. In 2011, it was shut down for one week because of condensation and ventilation problems.

WILD BOAR | PEST DESIGNATION

Alberta county calls for wild boar eradication Banned animals list | Resolution will be debated at the Agricultural Service Board meeting in January BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

Wild boars, raised as livestock but destructive when they escape, are pests that should be eliminated from Alberta, say officials in Red Deer County. Art Preachuk, agricultural fieldman with the county, said the animals should be banned before they become an agricultural plague. “We are taking this too nonchalantly,” said Preachuk, whose antiwild boar resolution will be discussed at a provincial Agricultural Service Board meeting in January. “They have potential to cause massive damage and costs to farmers.” At a recent U.S. weed conference in Missouri, Preachuk said his counterparts cited wild boar as the largest crop production problem in the state. “If the boar is on the inside of a fence, it’s livestock. When it escapes, it is now a pest. How can that be possible,” said Geoff Thompson, agricultural fieldman for Lac Ste. Anne County, where the wild boar problem has caused thousands of dollars in damage to crops and hay bales. “It’s tough to put a dollar value on damage by rooting. Farmers don’t realize how much damage is caused until they get on their swathers in the fall and fall in these big ruts. In the winter months (wild boar) come to bale yards and damage bales. I’ve seen lots of damage over the years from that,” said Thompson. “We do it with rats. Why don’t we do it with pigs?” Wild boar were declared pests in Alberta in 2008. The government has paid $26,350 in bounty for 520 wild

The largest payments have been to wild boar hunters in the Lac Ste. Anne county northwest of Edmonton. Quinton Beaumont, agricultural fieldman with Stettler County, said his county just reaffirmed its bylaw

declaring wild boar a pest. Beaumont said one of the biggest problems is the lack of regulations requiring proper fencing to prevent the wild boar from escaping. Thompson said the government needs to insist on adequate fencing if

it doesn’t want to eradicate the animals from the province. “You see the elk fences out there that are substantial. For wild boar you can string up some barb wire fence and order some pigs.” Phil Merrill, Alberta Agriculture’s

rat and pest specialist, said he has more experience dealing with rats than wild boar, but believes requiring pig proof fencing would ease the tension around feral animals. “I really think it would have benefit, but I am just not sure if the (agriculture) department is ready to put those stipulations on the pig farmer. Personally I think they should because that would make it less likely for escapees.” Merrill also doesn’t know how receptive the government is to eliminating wild boar from the list of legitimate livestock. “I don’t know how protective Alberta Agriculture is going to be about our producers. There are only about half a dozen large producers and maybe half a dozen smaller producers. There is not a lot farmers involved, but I’m not sure if the department is ready to tell those guys they can’t raise hogs.” Earl Hagman, a wild boar producer from Mayerthorpe, said his livelihood would be wiped out if the province eliminates wild boar from the province. “It’s our whole livelihood,” said Hagman of Hogwild Specialties. “God, that would be unbelievable if they said we can’t raise our pigs.” Hagman said wild boar escaping from farms is a “legitimate concern,” but his biggest fencing problems are caused by people. At least once a month, his fences are cut and his wild boar are enticed with grain and other bait. When he caught hunters hunting wild boar on his property he called in the RCMP, who refused to lay charges because wild boar have been labeled pests.

SASKATCHEWAN PULSE GROWERS | ELECTION

Producer irate over pulse grower group’s election tactics BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The Saskatchewan Pulse Growers election is once again embroiled in controversy. Three directors of the organization have taken the unusual step of handpicking and then endorsing two of the five candidates running to fill two vacancies on the board of directors. Shawn Buhr, Jim Moen and Bert Vandenberg recruited Robert Hundeby and Trevor Simpson to run in the 2012 campaign and then threw their support behind the young farmers in a news release and in advertisements in community newspapers. That has raised the ire of other candidates running in the election. “To me it could set a dangerous precedent,” said Tim Wiens, a grower from Herschel, Sask., who has served for nine years on the Saskatchewan Canola Development Commission. “They’re going down a road that nobody has ever gone before in any crop development commission that’s out there.” Wiens is referring not only to this year’s election but what happened in 2011 when Buhr, Moen and pulse

crop breeder Vandenberg ran as a slate of candidates pushing for reform at Pulse Canada. They wanted more Saskatchewan grower representation on the board of the national organization, improved accountability and communication and more joint planning with provincial grower groups. The three candidates were elected by acclamation when a fourth candidate dropped out of the election at the last minute. Wiens finds it disturbing this same group of individuals is now grooming two more candidates for the board. “If those two get elected and all of the sudden there’s five working together as one group and the other two members of the board are not part of those discussions, then where is the accountability to say that the decisions that will be made will be made in the best interest of farmers?” he said. Hundeby said he and Simpson were handpicked by the three directors. “They were trying to target young businessmen that would help guide and provide governance and direction to the Saskatchewan Pulse Growers going forward,” he said.

Hundeby is a 37-year-old farmer from Elbow, Sask., who is vice-president of Gardiner Dam Terminal Ltd. His uncle, Ron Hundeby, served on the SPG board with Buhr and Moen during their first stint as directors in the early 2000s. Simpson is a 31-year-old select seed grower from Moose Jaw, Sask., who is part of the well-known Simpson Seeds operation. The other two candidates are incumbent Vicki Dutton, a select seed grower from Paynton, Sask., and John Bennett, a former SPG board member from Biggar, Sask., who is co-chair of the national Pulse Industry Roundtable. Hundeby said that if elected, he won’t be a puppet for the directors who endorsed his campaign. He already has experience working with Buhr on the Gardiner Dam Terminal board of directors. His priorities are similar to those of the three existing directors. He wants SPG to have a bigger say at Pulse Canada, even though its representation was recently doubled to four members on the nine-member board of the national organization. Hundeby said that’s not enough for a

province that grows 80 percent of the country’s pulses. He also wants the University of Saskatchewan’s Crop Development Centre to play a bigger role in the provincial and national organizations and wants better governance on the SPG board. Moen said Hundeby and Simpson were chosen because they are young businesspeople who come from excellent families that have been involved in the pulse industry since its inception. “People aren’t always willing to come forward. We felt we needed to provide an encouragement,” said Moen. He said the existing directors are not pushing any particular agenda and will not be block voting on all issues. “We want (the new directors) to be free thinkers and to bring new ideas and new concepts and innovation to the board,” he said. However, he acknowledged that they are seeking some degree of shared philosophy at a board table that has been deeply divided and dysfunctional in recent years. The slate of Moen, Buhr and Van-

denberg was put together by past chairs of SPG in response to last year’s sudden exodus of the organization’s chair, long-time executive director and research director. Wiens said the directors may have gone too far in their zeal for reform. He was shocked to see an advertisement in the Rosetown Eagle endorsing his opponents. “It causes me concern, but I think farmers can see through what they’re trying to do,” he said. Wiens was even more surprised that he was mentioned in the news release as another young candidate to consider. He wasn’t consulted about being part of the news release and promptly demanded to have his name removed. Wiens also has “huge issues” with Vandenberg, who is a pulse crop breeder from the CDC, making decisions on how farmer money will be spent. Vandenberg has stated he does not participate in funding decisions regarding the CDC. SPG sent out 16,484 ballots for this year’s election. Completed ballots must be received no later than Dec. 6. There was an 11 percent response rate in the 2010 election.

CANADIAN WESTERN AGRIBITION | GRAND CHAMPIONS

Angus sale centre of attention, bids

Hereford bull is overall champion

REGINA — A barn burner of an Angus sale was held the evening of Nov. 23 at Canadian Western Agribition. The Power and Perfection sale posted an unofficial gross of $383,100. There were 28 1/2 live lots, which averaged $10,884. Eight packages of frozen embryos and semen totalled $72,900. Ian Gross of Wiwa Creek Angus of Rush Lake, Sask. offered a black cow and bull calf, which topped the sale. The bull calf sold for $72,000 to Stauffer Ranches and Arda Farms of Acme, Alta. Names of the buyers were unavailable at press time. The cow went for $43,000 to Boss Cattle Co. in Nebraska. Wiwa Creek also sold a 2012 female that sold for $23,000 to Boss Cattle Co.

UPS Uptown ET | Aiming for triple crown STORIES BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

REGINA — Grant Hirsche is a man with a plan. His horned Hereford bull was named overall champion at the grand finale RBC Supreme champion challenge at Canadian Western Agribition Nov. 24. The bull was also champion at the World Hereford Conference held in Alberta this summer. The owner of Hirsche Herefords and Angus at High River, Alta., plans to take this two year old to the National Western Stock Show in Denver in January to vie for the championship there. “It’ll be the triple crown. He’ll win the three biggest shows in North America,” he said after judge Lyal Fox gave him the nod. Named UPS Uptown ET, the bull is owned in partnership with WSV Farm and Ranch of Calhan, Colorado and Upstream Ranch of Taylor, Nebraska. Hirsche bred the dam. That cow was descended from an internationally accepted Hirsche bull named GH Neon. This is the second time a Hirsche Hereford has won this prestigious show, which started in 1999. The supreme female title went to a Charolais cow owned by Dennis Serhienko, who is no stranger to this event. He has won it three times with his Charolais females and once with a bull. “It is an honour just to be here,” he said. He won this award two years ago with the dam of this year’s winner. It was a calf at side in 2010. Named SVY Starstruck 8X, this cow has already been flushed and has three other calves coming this year. After the show, its embryos will be harvested again. The winning calf was sold to Oklahoma during Agribition so Serhienko won’t speculate whether it will be back in two years’ time.

REGINA — A 17-year-old Hereford breeder surprised everyone, including herself, when she had the high selling bull at the national Hereford sale held Nov. 22 at Canadian Western Agribition. The high seller was a three-quarter interest for $20,000 in a yearling polled bull. The bull, YouTube, was consigned by Larissa Lupul, owner of Barefoot Polled Herefords at Foisy, Alta., and went to Dennis Babiuk of Brosseau, Alta. The bull has a long list of show wins, including reserve champion polled senior yearling at the World Hereford Show last July at Olds, Alta. The Grade 12 student owns four Herefords and has decided she wants a career in agriculture, even though her parents are not ranchers. Her mother is a nurse and her father is a trucker and landscaper. “I want to do it for the rest of my life,” she said. Her parents were not always convinced this was what she wanted. “When they see how hard I’m working and the respect I’m getting from other people, they see where I am

coming from,” Lupul said. She received help from neighbours who own polled Herefords when she was seven to acquire her first heifer and has steadily worked her way through the junior program and 4-H. “This has been my best year. I’ve been working hard for a long time to get here,” she said after the sale. The family owns a quarter section of land in northeastern Alberta. Her father named it Barefoot Farm because as a young man he waterskied barefoot in a nearby lake. Herefords were an easy choice. The cattle were quiet and easy for a youngster to handle. She also liked the distinctive red and white coloring. YouTube has been winning shows throughout its short life, but it means plenty of work and days off school for Lupul. She has missed 15 days of school this fall to attend shows. “I had to convince my math teacher I could come,” she said. To her surprise, her parents and math teacher were watching the sale via the internet, and her phone was jangling with congratulations from home as soon as she left the auction ring.

REGINA — In the sea of black and red Simmentals, a few traditional red and whites bobbed up. Fullblood cattle are the backbone of Black G old Simmentals at Lloydminster. “That is what all our bull buyers wanted,” said Ryley Noble. He led out a yearling bull that sold for $16,000 to Lee Robson of Lockhart Simmentals of Rimbey, Alta., at Canadian Western Agribition held in Regina Nov. 19-24. The Nobles were pleased to see the bull do so well at the sale because fullbloods often take a back seat to the solid black or red cattle. “In our area, the demand is for fullblood cattle,” said Randy Noble, father of Ryley, 16, and Toby, 14. “In order to find good fullblood cattle there are not as many people raising them,” he said. The family has about 60 fullbloods and 30 red and black types. Fullbloods trace directly back to

Europe and have not been crossed with other breeds. All the cows are artificially inseminated on the farm to keep them pure. The Noble family got involved with the new breed as soon as it arrived in Canada more than 40 years ago. “Back then, Simmentals were really spotted cattle with white and red and we were always excited when we got these different looking calves,” said Randy. They also added more growth to their herd of Hereford based cattle. They were sold on the new imports. “They just had way more performance.” However, the cattle also had to be adapted to Canadian conditions. South African fullblood imports were trendy for a time, but they did not have good hair coats for prairie conditions. “It did bring in a new gene pool and that is what we are always looking for,

the commercial side because that is what it is all about, raising bulls that can go out and puts lots of pounds on the calves,” said Randy.

CANADIAN WESTERN AGRIBITION | SPECKLE PARK SALE

Speckle Park famous for colour, quality High selling Speckle Park heifer sold for $10,000 BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

REGINA — Jason Goodfellow has seen Speckle Park cattle gain international recognition since the first embryos from the unique breed went to Australia in 2005. Those first packages of genetics were sold at Canadian Western Agribition, and buyers have returned. About 300 to 500 embryos have been exported per year, and there are now 2,500 females in Australia, where Speckle Park is valued as a carcass breed. “They have surpassed us,” said Goodfellow, who has been involved with the breed all his life.

REGINA BUREAU

Organizers of Canadian Western Agribition say sales were up and attendance was strong at last week’s 42nd show in Regina. Chief executive officer Marty Seymour said purebred cattle sales neared $1.4 million, up $250,000 over last year. The highlight was a two-thirds interest in an Angus calf for $73,000. “The ranch horse sale rang the bell as well,” Seymour said, noting a high seller of $14,500. Attendance figures weren’t yet available from the Nov. 19-24 show but he said they will be on par with last year’s 126,000. “We were quite a bit ahead of the plan on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. (The) snowstorm set us back a little bit, but we had an outstanding Friday and Saturday again,” he said Nov. 26. “We had a bigger Saturday this year than last year.” A twist in the weather is one thing visitors to Agribition can almost always count on and last week saw the gamut from pouring rain to blowing snow to sunshine, and temperatures from near zero to the minus 20s. The older facilities at Evraz Place are known for leaky roofs, and tarps and strategically placed barrels were added daily to catch the water. Most exhibitors seemed to take the conditions in stride. They know the facilities are aging and leaky roofs are almost tradition. But there were complaints and Seymour agreed that the buildings must be improved. “We’re working with the city on a strategy to deal with the rest of the infrastructure,” he said. “I think over the next six months we’ll have a more clear understanding of some next

However, the plans stalled after the construction of the new Co-operators Centre with its six arenas. Plans for a new football stadium on the same grounds could affect resources available for the existing buildings. It will also affect parking, which is always a challenge during Agribition. Seymour said if the province and Ottawa come to the table with support for the grounds, then the city would likely follow. Resources to improve livestock

This year about 750 guests from 60 countries registered. “What I noticed this year was a lot of U.S. cattle trade happened and our international business overall appears to be up,” he said.

In a room full of cowboys waiting for media interviews, a dog named Lexi stole the spotlight. The five-year-old Border Collie, who won the International Stock Dog Championship at Canadian Western Agribition Nov. 20 with handler Norm Sommer, drew smiles and pats on the head as she sniffed out the room. Sommer of Pleasantdale, Sask., held the coveted Agribition belt buckle he won after Lexi turned in the best time among the top five dogs in the competition’s final run. He said Lexi might get a few treats. The competition drew 34 dogs from the three prairie provinces. Lexi and Sommer qualified first with a two-run time of 3:02, including the fastest time in the first run at 1:35. In the final, she moved three sheep through the obstacles and into a pen in 2:23. Sommer said his 200 ewes give Lexi and his nine other dogs lots of practical work. “The sheep are different at every competition,” he said. “There is lots of training. And you play a key part in it, too.” Although Sommer usually has two or three dogs competing each year, he brought only Lexi to Agribition. He and other dogs have made the final several times, but he has never won the title. Barry Breemersch and Jack of Deloraine, Man., turned in a run of 2:24 for second spot, followed by Campbell Forsyth and Meg of Eriksdale, Man., at 2:25.

CANADIAN WESTERN AGRIBITION | BISON SALE

Bison sale numbers up; prices dip slightly Drought may have hurt demand | Ontario and U.S. may not have been in the market to buy animals BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Two sales to American buyers topped the 20th annual Canadian national bison sale held during Canadian Western Agribition Nov. 20. The top seller was a two-year-old half-Wood bull consigned by Silver Creek Bison of Binscarth, Man., which went to DD Buffalo of Woodland, Utah, for $20,000. A yearling Wood cross bull from Irish Creek Bison in Elk Point, Alta., sold for $15,000 to Rex Snyder of Lyman, Wyoming. Mark Silzer, president of the Canadian Bison Association, said the sale went well. “Averages on animals were down just marginally from the year before, but we had more animals in the sale,” he said. The sale grossed $245,350 on 68 head and averaged $3,608.09. Some animals sold for fairly low prices, but Silzer said that allowed new producers to buy good quality animals at a reasonable entry price. “I think that some of the higherpriced animals, some of that is a result of long-term breeders that people know,” he said. There were also first-time consignors. “Sometimes when you get in there and you’re marketing your animals you have to pay your dues,” Silzer said.

Lot 28’s reluctance to use an open gate delayed the sale for several minutes. | KAREN BRIERE PHOTO and Ontario this year likely meant some producers weren’t looking to add many animals, which could have affected prices. The 2011 agricultural census that was released earlier this year pegged the national herd at 125,142 animals, but Silzer said the number is higher. The census is always done in May, just before the calf crop for the year is born. He agreed bison numbers are definitely down from the high of 2006, but that year’s number reflected the fact that producers were retaining ani-

mals they couldn’t market after BSE. “We’ve sort of got that all cleaned up and I think that what we’ve got there now is a really good base to build on,” he said. Silzer said the CBA unsuccessfully asked Statistics Canada to break down the bison numbers to indicate the number of producing cows rather than just the total. “If they’re using five bison to train cutting horses, they’re still included in that number,” he said. “What we need to know for our long-term planning is what is the

production side of this thing because then you can start to plan your marketing strategies.” He said the association will likely have to find money within its limited resources to collect the data itself. The census listed 1,211 farms and ranches reporting bison, with an average of 103 per operation. Total slaughter at federal and provincial plants was 13,260, which is half that of 2005. Meanwhile, meat prices remain strong, which Silzer said should keep existing producers in business.

CANADIAN WESTERN AGRIBITION | SHORTHORNS, ANGUS

Livestock runs in the family — and so does winning BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

REGINA — Everything old is new again as far as Pat Butler is concerned. When she decided to offer semen from a Shorthorn bull born in 1967, she and her brother, Dice Bolduc, were not sure what might happen. However, the phone started to ring at her farm near Rocky Mountain House, Alta., once the Canadian Western Agribition Shorthorn sales catalogue was mailed to potential buyers. She has an inventory of Shorthorn embryos and genetics and decided it was time to distribute some of it. “I’m out of the business, but I’m not,” she said. Butler offered six vials of semen, which sold for $600 each to Shane Sawley of Melville, Sask., at the Nov. 22 sale in Regina. Some of the interested bidders remembered the roan bull and others were looking for outcross genetics. Her family has been involved with Shorthorn cattle since 1898. Her parents, Floyd and Alice Bolduc, bought Olive Grove Century from a commercial breeder in 1970 after they saw an ad in the classified sec-

It was a polled Shorthorn, which was not common at that time. The bull went on to sire a number of champions, including the junior and senior Shorthorn champions at the 1974 Agribition. The 2003 Northlands Farmfair grand champion bull has Century in its pedigree. It also sired a bull that eventually went to New Zealand.

The semen was drawn in the 1970s by Prairie Breeders. Bulls usually had to have a nose ring and wear a halter when semen was collected, but Century was never halter broken. The company managed to figure it out. Butler said her father wanted the semen as insurance in case the bull was hurt or died. “We never sold semen from that bull. Dad didn’t believe in it.”

She said her father argued producers could buy the sons of the popular bull if they wanted its genetics. Life with livestock carried through the generations. B u t l e r ’s g r a n d f a t h e r, S t e v e Swift,was a master livestock breeder showing swine, draft horses and Shorthorn cattle from Brandon to San Francisco, moving animals by train in box cars. Her mother, Alice Bolduc, was a sheep shearer in her teens. She was also the first female judge in Western Canada when she evaluated cattle at the bull sale in High River, Alta., in the 1960s. Butler showed the grand champion steer at the Calgary Bull Sale and the Edmonton spring bull sale in 1960 when she was 12 years old. It was the only time the same person won the big prize at both events in the same year. “The girls showed but they didn’t stay and do the work in the stalls. I did,” she said. A man was usually hired to take care of the stalls and wash the animals. Steer shows were huge at that time, with as many as 400 head on display. The champions were killed afterward at Canada Packers and carcass

information on rib eye sizes was returned to the exhibitors. Her family maintained the records. “We were playing with carcass, in essence, because we could see what those steers were like. They were purebred Shorthorns,” she said. Today, her brothers Dice and Dave own Cudlobe Angus at Stavely, Alta. They have also continued the winning traditions. “Because of our parents, we got to learn from the best of the best in the industry,” she said. The children attended 4-H judging clinics and mixed with the who’s who of the purebred industry. Her children were encouraged to do the same thing and have gone on to have livestock careers. “I said I would never be a hockey mom, but I would drive a million miles with their heifers,” she said. Her daughter, Val Townsend, owns Lone Star Angus with her husband, Deone, at Sylvan Lake, Alta. Their children, Dakota and Wacey, have been avid show people since they could walk. This summer Dakota had the reserve grand champion at the Calgary Stampede steer classic. These days, Butler keeps her hand in the business by raising purebred black miniature donkeys.

DOGS | NEUTERING

Neutering dogs at home inhumane ANIMAL HEALTH

JAMIE ROTHENBURGER, DVM

“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” – Mahatma Gandhi

he Saskatchewan SPCA recently sounded the alarm over the ongoing practice of homeneutering dogs. Five cases were reported this year in which owners applied elastrator bands designed for castrating calves to the scrotum of male dogs. Elastrator bands squeeze the base of the scrotum, reducing the blood flow to the scrotum and testes, causing the tissues to eventually die and slough off. This process usually takes a few weeks. While the ethics of using elastrator bands on any species, including calves, is open to debate, it is especially disturbing in dogs. First of all, the dog scrotum is less pendulous than that of a calf and the base of the scrotum is significantly wider. This difference in anatomy makes it impossible to apply the bands tight enough to sufficiently restrict blood flow. As well, calves are unable to lick at the damaged tissues, while dogs are notorious for licking any part of their skin that is in pain, itchy or infected. This licking behaviour leads to secondary infection of the scrotum and testicles, increasing pain, suffering and prolonging recovery compared to proper surgical castration. It is recommended that elastrator bands be used as soon as possible following birth in calves, usually within the first few weeks of life. These abused dogs were likely much older with more developed tissues and blood supply, which would further increase their suffering. Veterinarians are the only people qualified to castrate dogs. The animals are sedated and then given a general anesthesia. I always use local freezing as well to minimize pain. A small incision is made between the base of the scrotum and the penis. The blood vessels and cords are tied before both testicles are removed. I like to close the incision using sutures in the skin to minimize the risk of infection and pain. Ideally, dogs will be given longacting pain medication for a few days and be monitored for licking. Head cones should be worn by dogs that lick or those that are not carefully supervised in the first few days following surgery. Excuses such as veterinary care being too expensive are unjustified. For the amount of education we receive, veterinarians are the lowest paid of the health professionals. Furthermore, veterinary clinics must cover the cost of equipment, staff, supplies and other business expenses. It would be fair to assume that the cost of treating an elastrated dog,

including surgery and treatment of infection, would exceed that of a routine castration. Low income individuals in Regina and Saskatoon can apply to a subsidized spay and neuter program for their pets. Why do we castrate animals in the first place? Population control is an obvious reason. Rampant dog overpopulation in many places in the world, including First Nations reservations in Canada, have contributed to dog-bite associated injury and is one of the leading causes of rabies transmission. Neutering also permits selective breeding. Although animals cannot speak and therefore have difficulty demonstrat-

ing pain in a way humans can understand, it doesn’t mean pain is not occurring. It is safe to assume that since animals have the same nerve anatomy and function as humans, they perceive pain in the same way. The only difference is animals lack the ability to understand that the painful experience will end. When humans elect to undergo a painful medical procedure such as surgery, we have the ability to understand what is happening and hope for a future without pain. In essence, part of what makes us human is our ability to plan for a future. Animals live entirely in the moment

A dog’s anatomy makes it impossible to neuter using elastrators without causing pain and possible infection. | FILE PHOTO without the ability to hope for a better existence. If you must use them, keep elastrator bands for calves, lambs, kid goats and those annoying truck testicle

AGRONOMICS | REWARD OR PUNISH?

CRAIG’S VIEW

Promote good stewardship with support, incentives

he reports are becoming more common and sound more urgent. The occurrence of severe weather events is on the rise. In Canada, that can lead to invasive pests creeping into the Prairies. Glyphosate resistant weeds are making their way north and diseases such as aster yellows and clubroot are more likely to thrive in warmer, more humid conditions. As well, we’ve witnessed more floods during the past few years, particularly in Manitoba, which further encouraged an increased flush of weeds and plant disease. In the United States, farmers have just come through the biggest drought in 50 years. Most of the world’s scientists point to these as evidence that global climate change is starting to assert itself. While the proof won’t be in for years, severe weather extremes appear to be a factor that farmers will have to come to grips with. These environmental challenges to crop production come at a time when farmers are being asked to increase production to feed an exploding world population. The challenges are clear, but how we address them is a path that remains open. One radical suggestion was raised at the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities recently. A resolution from the floor asked the group to lobby the government on crop insurance eligibility. It suggested that crop insurance coverage be refused in cases where a farmer grows two consecutive years of clubroot susceptible crops in the same field. While farmers are generally constrained by what they can seed on rotation, there may be years in which high prices entice some to grow the same crops back-to-back on the same fields. Canola’s high prices of late may make such practices attractive. But for the most part, farmers see proper rotations and sound agronomic practices as their best chance for long-term sustainable production and income. The SARM resolution is unlikely to be successful, but similar ideas have been floated in other arenas.

During farm bill discussions in the U.S. this spring, the concept of tying farm insurance to certain farming practices was bandied about. The argument goes that because insurance payouts will bear the brunt of the costs for bad agronomic practices, participation should be conditional on farmers adopting environmentally and agronomically sound practices. Wrong approach? The key question is whether such an approach would really work or even be desirable. Canadian farmers are among the most innovative already and have been quick to take up minimum tillage, the latest in plant genetics and other innovations that promote stewardship and boost productivity. Farmers have been asked to do more and more on thinner margins and most of them are well aware of what is best for their particular circumstances. Their long-term and short-term survival depends on it. They depend on the long-term health of the land for their livelihoods and understand the need to treat it well. They know they must respond to floods and new disease and weed pressures, or they won’t be in business for long. Restricting insurance eligibility to those who use certain farming practices also runs the risk of distorting markets, where farmers grow what triggers the best payout rather than seeding what world demand calls for. The issue of how to best ensure farmers manage the many challenges ahead is something all groups will have to wrestle with in the future. Convincing farmers to adopt desirable practices is best done through positive incentives and assistance to empower them to make the necessary changes, rather than threats and punishments.

TRADE | AGRICULTURAL DEALS

Ag groups want feds to support their trade agenda with negotiating budget NATIONAL VIEW

BARRY WILSON

he Conservative government has won enthusiastic reviews from many farm groups for its promotion of its trade agenda. Market access is part of the Growing Forward 2 agreement, and the Conservatives created the market access secretariat within Agriculture Canada. It is not an exaggeration to argue that this government really has substitut-

ed trade policy for agriculture policy in many ways. Yet it still was breathtaking last week to hear a senior Agriculture Canada official enumerate the trade talks that Canada is involved in or wants to be involved in. Irritating and sometimes amazing as it may be to farmers who see their personal livelihood dependent on trade and new markets, agricultural trade is a contentious issue in this country. Critics, including the official opposition New Democratic Party, have at times cast a skeptical eye at the real benefit of agricultural export deals, arguing that Canada’s trade balance in agricultural products often decreases after free trade deals are implemented. Meanwhile, even as Canada increases exports, Canadians are increasingly

eating imports. Last year, 50 percent of Canadian consumption came from imports, which is fodder for the local food movement and those who argue that imported food is less safe and why can’t we generally feed ourselves? And in the discussion about trade and its importance in agriculture, much of the political oxygen tends to get sucked out of the room by the “is supply management on the table” political debate. But don’t suggest to an agricultural exporter — livestock, hogs, grain, oilseeds, pulses, special crops — that an aggressive trade agenda is not a good thing. So last week, when senior Agriculture Canada lead negotiator on regional agreements Denis Landreville appeared at a grain symposium in Ottawa, he brought a report on what’s

happening. The most imminent, of course, is the possibility of a free trade deal with the European Union. It won’t offer access breakthroughs for hormone-produced beef or genetically modified crops, but it holds the potential for at least an opportunity to compete for hundreds of millions of dollars worth of food sales in the world’s largest consumer market. Of course, the EU wants increased dairy product access, so that raises the old export-import protection debate. The other big one on the long-term horizon is the Trans-Pacific Partnership talks that Canada joins for the first time in New Zealand next week. Immediate market access gains are not realistic, and Canada already has free trade or preferential access to the major markets in the TPP. Still, it will take a lot of negotiating resources.

However, Landreville rhymed off a handful of other negotiations Canada has engaged in or is trying to engage in with India, Japan, Morocco, Ukraine, South Korea and maybe even China. These are markets that could be worth billions of dollars to agricultural exporters. Yet Canada’s trade negotiating infrastructure is limited and proposed cuts to the department of foreign affairs and international trade budget will not help. Agriculture groups, supporters of the agenda, have called on the government to show its commitment by increasing the negotiating budget in the midst of cuts. They have a point. Agriculture Canada is promising to, but it needs a bigger government commitment than that.

Happy consumers may buy more food

World class show deserves better home

BY SYLVAIN CHARLEBOIS

hile America was pondering who to elect as president, California was contemplating Proposition 37. It would have required genetically modified organisms in food to be labelled. It failed at the ballots, but it has inspired a broader referendum about our continental food supply. Some think it could influence Canada’s policies on food labelling in the not-so-distant future. Regardless of the outcome, California should be commended for engaging its constituency on this important debate. GMOs exist for a number of legitimate reasons, and the outright ban of GMOs in food, as some have suggested, would be unwise. Current estimates suggest 50 to 70 percent of food sold in Canadian grocery stores contain GM ingredients. In short, they are everywhere, and the reason for this is simple: evidence shows that GM seeds make agriculture more efficient and therefore significantly affect food prices. Studies suggest that the average grocery bill for Canadians could go up as much as $400 per year should the use of GM ingredients be prohibited. Such a threshold keeps many Canadians from being food insecure. As well, to suggest GM ingredients pose a threat to consumers is scientifically precipitous. Most studies that draw this conclusion are either methodologically unsound or contain flawed data sets. Science has demonstrated that products containing GMOs are safe

However, they have been on the market only since 1994, and more research is obviously warranted. We should not be surprised by numerous interest groups who remain adamantly against the biotechnology industr y and their products. For years, companies in this sector focused only on selling the virtues of their technology to farmers. As a result, consumers were left out of the learning curve and left to deal with the spectre of the biotechnological unknown on their own. Seeing an opening, lobby groups that oppose GMOs successfully

occupied this information gap, w h i c h i s w hy Ca li f o r n i a ha d a plebiscite on the issue. Left to the devices of these lobby groups, consumers became fearful of GMOs, which are pejoratively called “frankenfoods.” The process leading to the seemingly sudden arrival of GMOs on our dinner plates did not respect the democratic leanings of our food systems, and the biotechnology industry is now paying the price. The many benefits stemming from the biosciences should be clearly demonstrated to consumers. To that end, labelling is an interesting option.

GMOs clearly need to be demystified, but consumers are owed an explanation for their existence. Labelling remains the most effective and powerful tool to properly communicate risks to consumers in real time, at points of sale. For example, since August, it is now mandatory in Canada to mention allergens on food labels. It was the right thing to do to protect more than one million Canadians who suffer from food allergies. In the case of GMOs, what hangs in the balance is consumer trust. We are now at a point where consumers deserve more clarity. Most can handle the science behind the food products they buy. The food industry will always get the consumers it deserves, many of whom are currently overwhelmed with a sense of suspicion and distrust of GMOs. Conveying the proper information could be a game changer for consumers and industry. Unlike Canada, California has the economic power to be a trendsetter. Proposition 37 was filled with loopholes and special exemptions, which would have made the legislation costly to implement. Still, we should take note and engage Canadian consumers on this important issue. A collective discussion on GMO labelling is not just about labelling, but more importantly it is about food democracy: giving consumers a chance to make well-informed choices.

CANADIAN GRAIN COMMISSION | CHANGES

Grain commission modernization is too timid HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

here’s a great deal of agreement among farm groups and grain companies that proposed changes to the Canadian Grain Commission don’t go far enough. Producers are going to be needlessly saddled with extra costs. There are two positive attributes to the Canada Grain Act changes now being rushed through Parliament as part of the massive budget bill: • elimination of mandatory inward inspection When inward inspection is needed, it will still be there. Making it mandatory was putting an unneeded $20 million cost on the system. There’s just no reason why rail cars leaving a

Viterra elevator need to be inspected again when they arrive at a Viterra port facility. • changes in producer payment protection Producers want to know that they will be paid when they deliver to a company. However, requiring all grain companies to post bonds is tying up $600 million in working capital, and producers still haven’t always had full protection when a company fails. The government plans to replace bonding with an insurance-based system that will hopefully provide greater certainty at a lower cost. Details are still pending. While these two efforts are positive, the modernization doesn’t go far enough. Outward inspection and weighing by the grain commission will continue to be mandatory. Why not provide the option of inspection by private companies accredited by the commission? There are many cases where an overseas customer may want a private grade by an internationally recognized company. The grain com-

mission is duty bound to provide its own grade at its own cost on top of the private grade. That’s just wasteful. The commission is proposing an increase in its user fees starting Aug. 1 that will see the cost of outward inspection go to $1.60 a tonne. Private companies charge about onequarter of that amount. The unnecessary extra cost reduces what farmers receive from the export market. However, the cost doesn’t stop there. Market analyst John DePape argues that domestic prices drop by a comparable amount. For example, a canola crushing facility competes directly with the export price when buying canola. Grain commission user fees are going to be much higher than necessary because there’s a bunch of overhead costs that need to be covered. The commission’s Grain Research Lab in Winnipeg, its policy development work and its food safety function should be considered a public good paid for with taxpayer dollars rather than being tacked onto user fees. Although not part of this bill, user

fees are set to rise dramatically to the entire industry starting Aug. 1. Only $5.45 million worth of grain commission activities will be paid by the government each year, and that payment will be static. System costs would be dramatically reduced if more activities were deemed to be a public good and if outward weighing and inspection were no longer mandatory, Most observers realize there’s little chance the current bill will be altered in any substantial way. It’s part of much larger budgetary legislation that’s going to be pushed through come hell or high water. However, there’s an urgent need to reopen the Canada Grain Act and complete the modernization process at the earliest possible option. This sounds easy, but will it happen? Two previous attempts at changing the act were unsuccessful. This current bill will pass, but it goes only part way in the modernization that’s so badly required.

EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

JOANNE PAULSON, EDITOR

here’s nothing like a nice November downpour to remind you to take an umbrella everywhere you go, even in early winter. On the Wednesday of Agribition, it must have rained at least an inch. But I didn’t just need the missing umbrella outside. I needed it inside. Much has been written over the years about the aging, power-challenged, leaking, drafty barns. This year, two barns were closed down, replaced by a new sale area. It was a good start, but it’s not just the barns that are compromised by wet weather. In one of the main building lobbies, it wasn’t just leaking, it was literally raining inside along one roof seam. Meanwhile, a large garbage can caught most of the rain dripping aggressively through the Canada Exhibit Mall ceiling, but it came down so hard it splashed people walking by. In another lobby in an older building, it was also raining through a hole in the roof, soaking the ceiling materials and pouring all over the floor. I could go on, but you get the idea. Enough is enough. Canadian Western Agribition is considered a worldclass show featuring beautiful, world-class livestock. It generates at least $27 million for businesses connected to the show. It attracts hundreds of international customers. Agribition officials have worked hard to generate that kind of global attention. What must the international guests think when they are dodging indoor rain? And what about the safety of the buildings? At what point are plaster, electrical wiring and wood compromised? Will more than rain fall down on our heads? Granted, repairs like this cost a fortune, and it’s therefore hardly surprising that a plan is still apparently not in place to correct the issues afflicting the buildings on the fair grounds. But the City of Regina, which owns the facilities, the Province of Saskatchewan and (with any kind of luck) the federal government must come up with a plan. I’m willing to bet that if these buildings are still salvageable, it would still be less expensive to fix them than to build a new stadium or two. After all, Agribition isn’t just some fun thing to do in the middle of November. It’s an economic driver. The problems have been going on for long enough. It’s time to fix them.

In a letter dated Nov. 16, minister of international co-operation Julian Fantino talked about Canada’s assistance on the combat against tuberculosis but obviously avoided talking about the major cuts in CIDA’s (Canadian International Development Agency) budget and their impacts on tuberculosisrelated deaths. The bottom line is that minister Fantino’s government is cutting $319 million over the next three years in CIDA’s budget, which includes reducing multilateral spending on tuberculosis control by $10

million per year. As it costs about $20 per patient to cure this preventable disease, these savings represent quite a lot in terms of human lives. Bruno Marquis, Gatineau, Que.

HAY, CANADA To the Editor: I have read the article in the paper about HayEast. As a former hay producer, I know we went through this situation in Western Canada. When the hay was brought in from the east, the freight on it was about

$170 per ton. Hay was given to people on a draw system. I know some of the hay went to people who did not need it, but that always happens. As I said, I am a former hay producer. I had a hard time selling my hay for $120 per ton that year and it was well advertised. So I think it is a waste of fossil fuel and taxpayers’ money to do it again, especially when the freight is so high. As I understand it, freight is estimated at $7,000 for 40 bales. That’s just ridiculous. When I was growing hay I had a hard time selling it for even $40 to $60 per ton. I’ve known cattlemen who try to keep a two-year supply of feed on their farms. So when hay is plentiful, why not keep some for a bad

BILL NOT RUSHED To the Editor: I would like to correct the inaccuracies contained in a recent Western Producer article (Nov. 8) about our government’s Safe Food for Canadians Act (S-11). Let me start by first assuring readers that when it comes to food safety, the health of Canadians is our government’s top priority. Bill S-11 is an important piece of legislation that modernizes Canada’s already worldclass food safety system. To imply that S-11 has been rushed through the parliamentary process is wrong, as it does not match the facts. This legislation has been debated numerous times in both the Senate and the House of Commons. S-11 has been studied in both the Senate and House of Commons agriculture committees for over 20 hours, during which 46 witnesses appeared, including the minister of agriculture on two occasions. Both the Senate and House agriculture committees have done their due diligence in their study of S-11. Going forward, we will work with stakeholders to ensure that the regulations support them as they work to produce safe food for Canadians. Pierre Lemieux, MP, Parliamentary secretary to the minister of agriculture, Ottawa, Ont.

While I am grateful for all the good that a professional like Clare Rowson has done for the health system, I believe that she is misguided on her stance on raw milk. In the Q&A in her column Milk, raw or pasteurized? (WP, Sept. 27) she used statistics from the Centre for Disease Control. She informed us that between 1998 and 2006 there were two deaths caused by the consumption of unpasteurized milk and milk products. Well, I also have some statistics

OPINION from the CDC. On average, between 2000 and 2004, there have been 392,683 deaths a year in the U.S.A. contributed to the use of tobacco products. I am no mathematician, but I calculate the consumption of raw milk to have contributed to 0.25 deaths a year in the 28 states that it is legal. Compared to the deaths caused by tobacco, I would say raw milk should not even be on the radar. I w ill get to the point. If I am informed, should I not have the choice to purchase and consume raw milk? I can buy cigarettes and whiskey, but I cannot buy a glass of milk fresh from the cow. Not sure about you, but I see something very wrong with that picture. Raw milk products are currently sold under the pretense that they will not be used for human consumption. Can you imagine having to hide the fact that you are drinking milk fresh

from a cow, the stuff that makes tough little calves grow into T-bones? As a proud Canadian, I believe that if I want to ingest raw milk, I should not have to seek it out as if I am buying an illegal narcotic. To end my rant, I would like to say thank you to all the health practitioners and ask that they keep an open mind toward alternatives to the conventional food system. Mike Andriuk, Big River, Sask.

descended from domesticated horses; in other words, not feral. Then they go on to say that these wild horses date back before the European settlers arrived, dating back to a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Spanish horse foundation.â&#x20AC;? History shows that there were no horses of any kind in America until the Spanish brought domesticated horses to the continent starting in the 16th century. That would make the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Spanish horse foundationâ&#x20AC;? quote somewhat true. As to â&#x20AC;&#x153;European,â&#x20AC;? as far back as I can remember, Spain has been a part of Europe, therefore, our wild horses are descendants of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Spanish horse foundation,â&#x20AC;? which were domesticated horses brought to America by the Spanish, who also happened to be Europeans.

hat gets people steamed up long before Christmas?Â The earlier the merchandising starts, the worse the anxiety buildup if we let ourselves become victims. It shows up in the over-scheduling of events and in the excessiveness of gift giving. Every organization has to have a Christmas party, each with an overload of food, drink and late nights. Why Christmas parties, when January and February, as the slowest months of the year, would be good times for a few celebratory events? As for gift giving, sensibility seems to flee as pocketbook concerns go. It is sad, at gift-opening time, to watch a youngster who wants to play with the wrapping while adults push more gifts at the child, hoping it will like theirs more than the others. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sorry I sound so cynical, but I know there are deeper rituals and meanings that could be attached to the season that would nurture our spirits into the future. The book Unplug the Christmas Machine suggests four things children want most for Christmas: a loving time with family,Â realistic expectations about gifts, an evenly paced holiday season and strong family traditions. For years, I lived next door to the church and the outdoor nativity scene. Each day there were tiny footprints as youngsters walked up to view the manger and babe. What thoughts went through their minds? What were the stories they would tell if we gave them opportunity? What new dimensions of love and hope could they open for us? For many, the depth of meaning in the Christmas story is like a hidden treasure.Â The ancient prophets sang, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light.â&#x20AC;?

2,4-D tolerant crop approvals draw fire from critics Enlist, Enlist Duo ready by 2013 | 2,4-D resistant corn and 2,4-D choline formula get regulatory nods amid health concerns BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Canada’s early approval of a controversial new herbicide tolerant trait is drawing fire from critics. Health Canada and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency have granted regulatory approval to corn and soybean crops tolerant to Dow AgroSciences’ 2,4-D herbicide. A number of health organizations and environmental groups denounced the approval of Dow’s Enlist trait, claiming it will lead to increased use of a dangerous chemical.

Our environment, food and population will be increasingly exposed to another hazardous product. WARREN BELL CANADIAN ASSOC. OF PHYSICIANS FOR THE ENVIRONMENT

“Our environment, food and population will be increasingly exposed to another hazardous product,” Warren Bell of the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment said

in a joint new release. Meg Sears of Prevent Cancer Now said epidemiological research shows 2,4-D is an endocrine disrupter that causes elevated risks of cancers, particularly non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Daniel Kittle, global leader for research and development for Dow, said in a news release, “Farmers around the world have an urgent need to address weed control challenges and this first cultivation approval enables delivery of one of the most advanced solutions.” The Enlist trait will first be commercialized in corn once the company

Enlist Duo is a blend of glyphosate and Dow’s reformulated 2,4-D chemical. The new 2,4-D choline formulation is said to reduce drift, ensure the active ingredient stays where it is applied and decrease the odour associated with 2,4-D. Lucy Sharratt of the Canadian Biotechnology Action Network said the Enlist trait is a declaration of failure by the biotechnology industry. “Existing GM herbicide tolerant crops are failing because weeds are becoming resistant,” she said. The Industry Task Force II on 2,4-D Research Data said the chemical has undergone extensive review by regulatory agencies around the world, which have concluded the herbicide poses no harm to human health or the environment when used according to the label instructions. “For 65 years, Canadian farmers have depended on 2,4-D to control weeds in a safe and effective manner,” said Jim Gray, executive director of the task force. “Their trust has been bolstered by the rigorous scientific reviews of Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency and other regulators around the world.” Jeff Loessin, Dow’s portfolio marketing leader for the Enlist trait in Canada, said the trait will help growers deal with hard-to-control weeds such as lamb’s quarters, velvetleaf and red root pigweed. It will also enable them to control glyphosate resistant weeds like Canada fleabane, giant ragweed, common ragweed and kochia. “Obviously 2,4-D would be doing the heavy lifting on those,” he said. Corn is already tolerant to 2,4-D up to the six inch stage of development. The Enlist trait allows growers to spray plants up to 48 inches in height, giving producers greater flexibility in applying the chemical. Dow is planning a limited commercial launch of Enlist corn in Eastern Canada in 2013. The product will be field tested in Manitoba next year but there are no plans to commercialize the trait in Western Canada until it can be bred into earlier maturing varieties. The commercialization of Enlist soybeans is being held up by regulatory approval in China. Corn is mostly sold in North America, while many soybeans are shipped to China, which refuses to start its regulatory review until a trait has been approved in a country where it will be cultivated. Loessin expects there will be a good fit for the trait in Manitoba’s burgeoning soybean industry. Not only will it enable farmers to tackle hard-tocontrol weeds like buckwheat, lamb’s quarters and pigweed, but it will also provide them with a tool for controlling volunteer canola. The trait will first have to be bred into soybean lines containing the proper heat units for that region. There are no plans to incorporate the Enlist trait into canola varieties because 2,4-D is an effective way to control canola volunteers and many of Dow’s herbicides contain the chemical. Loessin said Dow has spent a lot of time developing a stewardship program to accompany the launch of the trait. It includes advice on minimizing drift and encourages farmers to use multiple modes of action to prevent the development of resistant weeds.

FOOD SAFETY | REGULATIONS

Industry assured of input on food safety rules Food safety legislation passes | Agriculture minister Gerry Ritz wants work to begin quickly on creating new regulations BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Legislation aimed at strengthening the food inspection system and food safety received unanimous House of Commons approval last week. Now, the nitty-gritty work of creating regulations begins. The regulations, months from being completed, will define how the legislation directly affects industries subject to Canadian Food Inspection Agency authority. During committee hearings, several supportive industry groups called for amendments that they said would make the bill better for their industry. In several cases, witnesses argued that the bill could eliminate jobs in import-export businesses. In all cases, the Conservative majority said legislative amendments were not necessary. Any tweaking could come in detailed regulations needed to implement the bill’s principles. On Nov. 20, as Bill S-11 was poised to pass through the House of Commons in a 280-0 vote, agriculture minister Gerry Ritz said creating the regulations begins now and it will be done in consultation with industry. “We want to get these new regulations into play as quickly as we possibly can, but we will certainly do it in consultation with the industry,” he told a news conference. Ritz said the act, already approved by the Senate when it reached the Commons, will modernize and strengthen the powers of the CFIA. Opposition MPs, while supporting the legislation, were critical of the

Conservative government for refusing to allow amendments and for pushing the legislation through committee with limited hearings and no recognition of criticisms. Liberal agriculture critic Frank Valeriote in particular objected to arguments from Ritz that the new food safety and inspection rules would have given the CFIA more power to avert the E. coli meat contamination incident at the XL Foods plant in Brooks, Alta. “There are some aspects of the bill that will make food safer,” Valeriote

told reporters. “But I’m not convinced that it’s going to be any safer than it is under our current system, particularly with respect to meat, because the Meat Inspection Act provides all the necessary mandate they need.” He said the problem at XL was not legislative powers but a food inspection “culture” in the plant that led to slack supervision and “sloppiness.” Although the legislation calls for an audit of CFIA resources in five years, opposition MPs also demanded an

amendment to have a third-party audit now. The government rejected the proposal. “Doing an audit now would give us a benchmark of where we are and where we’re going to start from,” said New Democrat agriculture critic Malcolm Allen. “In five years, we would know if we were better, worse or the same and whether we need as many inspectors.” During House of Commons debate on the bill, agriculture parliamentary secretary Pierre Lemieux said the proposed amendments were unnec-

essary. “The expert legal advice offered to our government was that these amendments were not necessary at best and would be an encumbrance to the CFIA and the food safety system at worst,” he said. “When it comes to the safety of Canadians and their food, our government listens to the experts.” Critics said the rejection of all amendments from opposition MPs, who supported the bill, was an indication of the arrogance of a majority Conservative government.

Keystone Agricultural Producers will host a meeting Dec. 3 in an effort to help farmers who delivered grain to Puratone before the hog production company entered creditor protection in September. KAP has invited all the key stakeholders to the meeting, including the Bank of Montreal, Farm Credit Canada, the Manitoba Agricultural Services Corp., Puratone, Maple Leaf, the Manitoba Pork Council and the Animal Nutrition Association of Canada. Maple Leaf had confirmed it would attend, said KAP president Doug Chorney. Kyle Foster, a farmer from Arborg, will represent affected producers at the meeting. Foster, who sits on the KAP executive, delivered grain to Puratone before the company applied for protection. “We don’t want a mob scene,” said Chorney, noting the objective of the meeting is to get the facts on the table. “We’re not saying we don’t want farmers there. We’re trying to keep it orderly.”

GRAIN DRYING | TRIALS

Study shows grain dryer fans should run mainly at night Side-by-side trial conclusions | Daytime drying ineffective because fan pushes warm, moist air into bin: researchers

D3152

Researchers say grain drying trials conducted this year have proven that aeration fans shouldn’t run continuously. Instead, fans should run mostly at night, say researchers from Indian Head, Sask. They held side-by-side trials in August and September, comparing continuous aeration to intermittent aeration of grain bins. The results confirmed an earlier hypothesis that grain dries mostly at

night, said Guy Lafond, an Agriculture Canada scientist at the Indian Head Research Farm. “We now have the evidence to show that the drying occurs as the grain is cooling,” he said. “Usually, we’re removing water during the coolest part of the day and adding water during the warmer part of the day.” Lafond and Ron Palmer, a retired University of Regina electrical engineering professor, set up a grain drying system this summer that switched the aeration fan on or off, depending on the amount of mois-

ture entering and leaving the bin. They installed a sensor that measured the temperature and relative humidity (RH) outside the bin and another sensor to measure the temperature and RH near the bin exhaust. The fan would switch off if more water

was entering the bin than exiting. “The thing that told us to turn it on or off was the net amount of water coming out of the bin,” said Palmer, who is best known for developing auto steer for tractors and is doing the research on grain drying for the Indian Head Agricultural Research Foundation (IHARF). In February, Palmer released the results of previous grain drying trials at Indian Head. The data indicated that grain dries mostly at night, a finding at odds with the long held assumption that grain dries when it’s warm outside.

“We’re putting water back in by continuous drying, pounds and pounds of it,” Palmer said. He suggested that daytime drying was ineffective because the fan pushes warm and moist air into the bin. The cold grain inside the bin cools the warm air, transferring the moisture in that warm air to the grain. In August and September, Palmer, Lafond and their IHARF colleagues compared their intermittent system to continuous aeration, drying wheat and barley in 2,000 bushel bins with five horsepower fans. The recent research confirmed their earlier results. “Yes. This definitely validates our original suspicion that the best drying is at night,” said Palmer. Running the fan during the day might heat the grain, which increases the risk of spoilage, he added. “Not only (is it) more efficient, it’s a safer approach because your grain is cold,” he said. “It’s the same reason we keep our food in the fridge so it doesn’t spoil. The same thing applies to grain.” The researchers found that running the fan continuously dries grain faster, in terms of the number of days. However, running the fan intermittently, when conditions are suitable for drying, reduced the number of fan hours by 30 to 40 percent compared to the continuous system. As well, the researchers observed significant differences in the air temperature of the grain. “(Bins) with the continuous fans, the grain temperature would go up and down like a yo-yo,” Palmer said, mirroring the outside air temperature. In contrast, the grain in the bins with intermittent aeration remained relatively cool. “Whereas, the control bin, it might be sitting at 12 degrees and go up to 15 and then go back down to 11,” he said. “The controlled grain was kept cold…. Cold and dry is the recipe for good storage.” The temperature figures are an example, not actual data, he cautioned. The recent trials may confirm the previous grain drying research at Indian Head, but farmers shouldn’t make the switch to nighttime drying just yet, said Joy Agnew, a project manager for agricultural research services with the Prairie Agricultural Machiner y Institute (PAMI) in Humboldt, Sask. Agnew and her fellow PAMI scientists have developed a grain drying system in which the fan turns on or off, depending on grain conditions inside the bin. “We assessed how the moisture content was actually changing, rather than how much water was entering and leaving. And our results are the exactly opposite of what they’re finding,” she said. “Our control strategy showed that the best time to dry the grain is during the day.” The debate over drying at night or by day will likely continue into 2013. Agnew and Palmer will present their findings to producers and fellow scientists over the winter. In fact, they will both speak in Saskatoon Dec. 13 at a meeting of Saskatchewan agronomists.

CANADIAN WESTERN AGRIBITION | GOATS

Producer improves herd genetics at Regina sale $1,500 goat | ‘Good genetics don’t come cheap’ BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Todd Zeller paid $1,500 for a sixmonth-old purebred Boer doeling and thinks he got a great deal. The doeling, consigned by Venture 2 of Steelman, Sask., to the goat sale at Canadian Western Agribition Nov. 20, topped the small sale of 15 lots. “We needed to top up our herd,” said Zeller, who operates Beatles Boers at Southey, Sask. “We’re fairly thick on the commercial side and are venturing more into the purebred market.” The doeling, Venture 2 KCF Abebi, will bring in new genetics from Eastern Canada. Zeller was bidding against a telephone bidder from Ontario. “I still got her for cheap,” he said after the sale, estimating the doeling should have earned at least $2,000. “G o o d g e n e t i c s d o n ’ t c o m e cheap.… I’ll get more than that back out of her.” He said it’s not good for the industry if everyone in Saskatchewan just buys each other’s stock. New genetics will allow him to get better control of his own herd, he said. Beatles Boers has expanded over the past few years from kidding 100 does to 150. The goat operation complements the farm’s grain and commercial cattle businesses. Zeller thought producers at the sale were happy with the prices they received for their goats and that buyers were equally happy with what they paid. He said the price producers earn from their herds depends on where they are located and the proximity to market. He receives $2 per pound at his door, compared to some who receive $1.65 and others in Alberta who receive $2.70. Those prices dictate how much producers are willing to spend on breeding stock. The 15 lots averaged $881.33 and a total $13,220. On the commercial side, pens of two or three doelings were running about $350 per animal, while market kids brought in $120 to $145 each. In the show, Quebec judge Samuel Claire-Cote named Medicine Creek Yahoo of St. John Boer Goats at Brock, Sask., grand champion purebred doe. Reserve winner was Treeline Warning from Mosaic Boers at Yorkton, Sask. Venture 2 had the grand champion percentage doe with Venture 2 KCF Pascal. Mosaic again took reserve with Mosaic Smoothie. North Eden Goats from Edenwold, Sask., won grand champion purebred buck with North Eden 71Z Zoro. The reserve was KNR Strategic’s Power from St. John Boer Goats. In the commercial competition, Rockin R Ranch of Moose Jaw, Sask., took home banners for grand champion doe, R-Country 2Y and the

champion and reserve pen of three. Beatles Boers won reserve commercial doe with Beat Molly. North Eden took champion and reserve honours for North Eden 86Z and North Eden 75Z in the market kid class.

producer, not to mention the lifting, bending and twisting. Hog production has among the heaviest physical tasks in agriculture and is prone to a variety of injuries. Many producers do a good job of tracking their animals’ performance but tend to overlook their own physical well-being. According to recent research, this can have a direct bearing on a producer’s bottom line. “We know the rates for injury in pork production are related to the risk factors,” says Catherine Trask of the University of Saskatchewan’s Canadian Centre for Health and Safety in Agriculture. “We know the rates of injury in pork production are high. They’re high compared to other industries and they’re higher than we’d like them to be in order to make these businesses profitable.… Minimizing injuries is going to be a big part of loss prevention for this industry.” Trask has spent the past six months conducting injury prevention projects at five intensive hog operations in Saskatchewan, including the Prairie Swine Centre. She identified problems, determined their magnitude and decided which ones were of the most concern. Activities monitored Nineteen workers were videotaped for half an hour to two hours as they did specific tasks in the pig barns during breeding, feeding, treatments and vaccination, pressure washing, sorting and processing piglets and moving the dead. She measured the weights that workers were lifting and handling and used a force gauge to measure push and pull forces. The video was used to analyze different work cycles, such as how much time it took to process a piglet or complete breeding on a sow. Different postures and angles were also evaluated, along with the number of lifts, pushes and pulls a worker did a n d h ow mu c h ha n d g r i p p i n g occurred. Ergonomics is the study of muscle health, she said, but it also studies overall system performance, looking at productivity and moving into economic efficiencies. “It’s really about marrying these two concepts: health and productivity,” she said during the Swine Industry Symposium held in Saskatoon Nov. 13-14. She said data specific to hog operations isn’t publicly available, but tracking occupational health and safety claims is one way to more accurately measure economic loss from musculoskeletal disorders. “In Saskatchewan, about 30 percent of all WCB (Workers’ Compensation Board) claim’s costs across all industries are for musculoskele-

Traskâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s studies in the five pig barns found that more than 90 percent of workers had musculoskeletal disorder symptoms. The lower back was the most common area at 80 percent, followed by the hands at 57 percent and the neck and shoulders at 55 percent. Almost three-quarters of workers suffered musculoskeletal disorders

in more than one part of the body. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fair to ask, since this is worker re p o r te d p ai n an d s y m p t o m s, whether this actually has an impact on the way workers do their work.

Frederick Bodnarus’s smooth patter won him a Canadian Western Agribition belt buckle and marble gavel last week. Five judges, including last year’s winner, deemed him the best of five contestants during the second Winners Circle auctioneer competition Nov. 20. Bodnarus operates his own business in Saskatoon and was thrilled to win. “Agribition is a very prestigious event, recognized throughout the world,” he said. Bodnarus completed auctioneer school in 1997 and opened his own business 10 years later. He sells a wide

variety of items from antiques to livestock to real estate. He has been in numerous competitions, and his titles include a 2004 win at the Saskatchewan Cattle Feeders championship, 2006 at Yorkton Harvest Showdown and 2007 at the Manitoba/Saskatchewan Livestock Auctioneer championships. He is a five-time Canadian Livestock Auctioneer championships finalist. “I felt good today, very comfortable,” he said after the competition that saw him, Tyler Cronkhite of Moose Jaw, Sask., Farron Ward of Colgate, Sask., Corey Mantell from Moose Jaw and Karla Gervais of Yorkton, Sask., sell horse pull team sponsorships and donated items. “They were good competitors.” CANADIAN WESTERN AGRIBITION | HAY

The campaign to send hay to eastern Canadian farmers hit by drought and escalating feed prices continued last week at Canadian Western Agribition. Bert Bloemendal, the Ontario trucker who is co-ordinating logistics for HayEast 2012, attended the show, where volunteers sought donations of hay and cash. Bloemendal operates Bert’s Repair and Towing in Mount Brydges, Ont., and became involved in HayEast earlier this fall when one of his four trucks was in Saskatchewan and looking for a backhaul. “I thought, ‘well, there’s a way to maybe help some farmers out,’ ” he said. Thirty loads of 30 bales each have already arrived in the East. “There’s another 40 en route for Ontario,” he said. “There’s another approximately 100 loads that are set to go for the same areas that are hard hit.” Bloemendal said the drought area is large and includes Ottawa, Simcoe, Welland, Tillsonburg and Owen Sound. He said some farmers were fortunate, but patchy rain made for patchy hay crops. Farmers who receive the hay are grateful and want to know where it came from so they can send cards of thanks, Bloemendal said. “Some are almost in tears because they are down to their last bale,” he said. “Some have sold their cattle off so they can have money to buy hay, and hay is at a premium this year.” Stories of animal neglect have also emerged. Bloemendal said all the truckers and companies involved in moving the hay are doing it out of the goodness of their hearts because they know the need is there. “We’re a small business in a small community,” he said of his own business. “We’re trying to do a big thing for people and hopefully we can help somebody out.”

HEALTH | GRAIN PRODUCTS

Campaign touts grains’ benefits Cereal advocacy launches BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Citing an avalanche of “misinformation” about the value of wheat products and a decline in consumption of grain products, a new cereal advocacy institute launches this week . The Healthy Grains Institute (HGI) has been established to react to growing published and social media claims that gluten-free and non-wheat products are healthier, Maple Leaf Foods senior communications vice-president Lynda Kuhn told a grain industry meeting in Ottawa Nov. 22. “Our goal will be to react to news stories that are not based on fact and science,” she told a symposium organized by the Canada Grain Council and Grain Growers of Canada. “The glutenfree trend continues to grow and the image of the wheat industry suffers.” She said the gluten-free target audience has moved well beyond those with celiac disease. And “fad diets” often target wheat as a problem. A primary target is American cardiologist and author William Davis whose books, Wheat Belly and Wheat Belly Cookbook, are runaway best sellers. On his blog, Davis said wheat and whole grains have become “incredibly destructive genetic monsters” that cause obesity, diabetes, arthritis and many other ailments. Consumption of products made from “all the major grain categories” has been declining for the past decade, Kuhn said. “The past 10 years has been tough on bread.” The institute that was to be launched across the country Nov. 27 is supported by the Bakery Association of Canada, the Canadian National Millers Association and the Canadian Pasta Manufacturers Association, but Kuhn said it is not a front for the industry. The institute will offer advice from plant breeders, dietitians and nutritionists about the benefits of a balanced diet that includes wheat products. “It can’t be seen to be a flashy industry-sponsored marketing campaign,” she said. A member of the HGI scientific advisory panel said his job will not be to promote the industry but to keep the debate “factual and science based.” Ravi Chibbar, Canada Research Chair in molecular biology for crop quality at the University of Saskatchewan, said a healthy diet requires grain and wheat. “I see the (Wheat Belly) book as based on anecdotal evidence rather than science and fact,” he said. “Wheat and other grains that I think we will focus on later are essential. You cannot live without eating grain and it is healthy and to try to convince people otherwise is wrong.” He said the institute will encourage research on the pros and cons of grain in the diet.

RURAL BUSINESS | SUCCESS STORIES

Home-based business allows greater flexibility, freedom Do your homework first | Study the marketplace before launching a rural business BY RON FRIESEN FREELANCE WRITER

WINNIPEG — Faye Fossay insists she’s not a typical farm wife. She doesn’t have a garden, milk the cows or drive a tractor. Instead, she looks out her office window at trees, fields and grazing cattle while running a custom website design business from her farm home. When needed, Fossay will pitch in if there’s a gate to be opened, a calf to be pulled or meals to be taken to the field during harvest. Fossay juggles her home business with farm life while raising two children, aged 12 and 10, with her husband, Bryan, on the family’s beef and grain operation near Woodlands, Man. Although she admits to having a full schedule, which sometimes means working more than 60 hours a week, Fossay said she wouldn’t change a thing. That’s because she is so passionate about being her own employer and providing a service that is in high demand by businesses these days. Fossay, 38, told her story to the Manitoba Farm Women’s conference in Winnipeg in November during a panel discussion on rural home-based businesses. Other Manitoba participants included Heather Kurbis, who sells vegetables and food products from the family farm near Beausejour, and Karen Friesen, who operates a market garden near Morden. All three described the satisfaction of operating an independent home business. “Don’t think about starting up a home-based business unless it’s something you truly, truly love and are passionate about,” Fossay said. “If you don’t have the support from your family, it ain’t going to work.” After taking courses at Red River College, Fossay launched F3 Designs in 2006. She now employs two people part-time. Fossay enjoys the flexibility and freedom of a home-based business, and the rewards of spending more time with her children. Alanna Keefe, a business adviser with the Women’s Enterprise Centre in Winnipeg, said people should ensure there is a ready market before embarking on a home business. The business should tailor its products or services to meet a target audience, she said. “There are lots of things that

you’d consider as a rural individual serving a rural market that wouldn’t be appropriate in a city environment,” she said. As an example, Keefe is currently helping a woman develop a business plan to sell fresh groceries and deli products. The woman had planned to open a shop in Winnipeg, but a market analysis showed the competition would be too strong for her to succeed there. She is now considering locating in a rural community where local restaurants do not offer the kind of items she plans to provide, said Keefe.

The idea of working out of your own home can be appealing, but people need to make hard-nosed decisions before deciding to start a home business. Here are questions to ask yourself before you make a final decision: • Is your business idea compatible with your life, experiences and abilities? • Do you have a quiet, private location where you can work away from family distractions? • Have you developed a business plan to explain how you will operate your business and how it will succeed? • Have you secured financing? Make sure you qualify for loans and have the ability to pay them off. If using your own capital, ensure you have enough.

• Do you have thorough market analysis? How viable is your idea? Is there a customer demand for your product and what is the competition for it? • What are the legal requirements for starting a home business? Register your business name. Find out what licences and permits are required to operate in your province.

FIRST NATIONS | ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Aboriginal initiative hopes to shrink education, job gap Getting Back to Business | Program seeks improvements in financial literacy by working with community mentors BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

With help from an organization spearheaded by a former prime minister, the Saskatchewan School Boards Association hopes it can engage Aboriginal students in entrepreneurship in schools and communities across the province. At its recent assembly in Saskatoon, the school board association announced a new initiative with Paul Martin’s Aboriginal Education Initiative (MAEI) dubbed “Getting Back to Business: Engaging Aboriginal Youth in Entrepreneurship.” The association will work with the provincial chamber of commerce, First Nation groups and the prov-

ince’s universities to distribute MAEI-developed curriculum to 30 schools next fall. The MAEI has developed education initiatives aimed at reducing the education and employment gap within the Aboriginal community. One initiative is the youth entrepreneurship program, which is designed to improve financial literacy and includes Aboriginal content and case studies and works with mentors from the community. “Our long-term strategic plan is to lessen that gap with all kids. There should never be a gap in education. Every child should have an opportunity to learn, be successful and to graduate,” said association president Janet Foord.

The initiative hopes to answer concerns stemming from numbers that show dispropor tionately high amounts of absenteeism and low graduation rates in the growing Aboriginal community. Saskatchewan’s education ministry expects 45 percent of children entering kindergarten will come from that population by 2016. A steering committee has been formed to oversee the project, establish relationships with partners and ensure educators receive the proper training. The 30 par ticipating schools have not yet been publicly announced. “It’s going to be implemented in schools where we see a need — either urban or rural,” said Foord.

“Rural or urban, you have to find the right fit for the position. You’ve got to have a teacher that’s engaged, that’s excited about it, that thinks they can make a difference with the program.” The entrepreneurship project has already been introduced separately into a small number of schools in Regina and Saskatoon. “A lot of our students, I think it’s safe to say, have not been particularly engaged in the bigger economy,” said Craig Schellenberg, principal of Saskatoon’s Oskayak High School, which introduced the program for Grade 11 and 12 students in 2011. Twenty-seven students finished the program in its first year, and Schellenberg called the 80 percent completion rate a positive result.

“Success builds on success.” He said some students found parttime work as a result of the program. The initiative is now in its second year, and Schellenberg said the school plans to maintain it into the future. “This mentorship has really given kids a sense of confidence that they belong in this economy and that they can have a piece of the pie,” he said. “I think that’s really positive.” Located in the heart of Saskatoon’s Broadway business district, Oskayak is well-positioned to make connections with businesspeople. Transportation is a potential obstacle in more remote and rural locations, but Schellenberg said the challenges aren’t insurmountable.

KILLAM, Alta. — It’s a vegetable, a functional food and biofuel. Jerusalem artichoke is experiencing a resurgence as an alternative crop as an Alberta company seeks to commercialize processes to capture its potential as one of the most versatile plants. Indigenous to North America, the prolific, drought-tolerant plant can grow in marginal soils. Jerusalem artichoke has earned a reputation in some circles as a weed, with the plants growing to three metres high and producing tubers in later summer or early fall. Jan Slasky of Alberta Innovates said researchers were looking for a means of mitigating greenhouse gases by capturing carbon emitted into the atmosphere after Canada signed the Kyoto Protocal in 2002. “Jerusalem artichoke is not only good for binding carbon dioxide, but it also produces biofuels very easily. Then someone pointed out that it also has great properties as a functional food,” she said. Jerusalem artichoke is a natural source of inulin, a complex sugar and source of soluble fibre that is an increasingly common additive to food because it has a low glycemic index and is easy to digest. Currently,Canadaimportsinulinfrom Europe, where it is derived from chicory. Slasky has developed a new technique to produce inulin and other products from the stalks of the plant instead of the tubers, allowing growers to maintain the Jerusalem artichoke as a perennial plant, and shortening the required number of growing days before harvest. “We developed a processing concept for sugar extraction from the stems to improve economics. Sugars reside in the stems at high concentrations for two to three weeks and then they move to the tubers. We optimize harvest time and use standard silage harvesting equipment,” Slasky said. Nova Green Inc. is taking the technology developed by Slasky and scal-

ing it up, first to a pilot facility, then to full commercialization. It is working with Battle River AgriVentures Co-operative to grow the crop, and other partners to manage a series of stages to extract inulin and xylos, which is converted to xylitol, and then convert the remnants into active biochar used in commercial purification processes. “In the first 18 months, we will process less than a tonne of inulin, xylitol and biochar, but we intend to take this to commercial by 2014,” said Barry Farquharson, chief executive officer of Nova Green. He is confident that things will move quickly once customers see the quality of the products. He estimates that they will need at least 40,000 tonnes per year once the process is commercialized. “The prospects for Jerusalem artichoke are very promising, and the products we are extracting are in extremely high demand,” he said. “The intent for us is to develop a turn key approach. We’ll provide the guidance and feedstock that will enable growers to get on board really quickly and be successful.”

JERUSALEM ARTICHOKE • The plant is not an artichoke and did not come from Jerusalem • It is a native North American sunflower and goes by many other names, including sunchoke, sunroot and earth apples • The root looks like ginger. It can be eaten raw and is said to be similar in texture to a water chestnut • Jerusalem artichoke flour is also recommended for those who are allergic to wheat and other grains

Passion for vehicles spawns rural business Hobby becomes profitable | Muscle car addicts trade in cattle to concentrate on carburetors, calipers and crushed cars BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

CLAVET, Sask. — A farm that was once measured by heads has become all about bodies. The Bentley farm, which used to be home to about 400 head of cattle, has taken diversification to a new level by morphing into a graveyard for 5,000 to 6,000 wrecked vehicles. Miles and Blair Bentley incorporated the venture 25 years ago after their father gave them some farmland to start Amigo’s Auto Wrecking in Clavet, Sask. It has grown into what the brothers believe is one of the largest auto wreckers in Western Canada. In addition to selling car parts to drivers, garages and body shops, every year the Bentleys ship 150 to 200 semi loads, each containing 20 to 25 crushed vehicles, to the Gerdau Long Steel North America recycling plant in Winnipeg. That creates room for a constant turnover of vehicles. “That’s the reason we’ve done so well. You go to some of our competitors and the rows of cars haven’t changed in four or five years,” said Miles. On a typical Saturday, there will be 30 or 40 customer cars in the parking lot at any given time. “We are just literally run ragged on Saturday. It’s our big day. It’s definitely the best day of the week,” said Miles. “We are so out of control.” It hasn’t always been that way. The brothers recall the early days of the business when they were hauling vehicles at two in the morning, swapping plates on tow trucks to save money and moving cars around the yard with their father’s front end loader. “At the beginning, the banks said auto wreckers are too much of a risk,” said Blair, in between cellphone and walkie-talkie calls. “We had to fund everything.” They used their personal credit cards and lines of credit to finance the fledgling business and took turns helping their dad with the mixed farming operation. It started out as more of a hobby than a business. Both of the brothers were keenly interested in muscle cars. They would buy a neighbour’s vehicle to add a part to one of their cherished cars and then sell the leftovers.

Cheryl, left, Blair, Cody, kneeling, Miles and Tracy Bentley run Amigo’s Auto Wrecking in Clavet, Sask. | SEAN PRATT PHOTO These days, farming has taken a backseat to the auto wrecking business. The 15 quarters of land that their deceased father owned has been rented out to a couple of area farmers. The cattle herd is gone, replaced by about a dozen sheep that can often be found grazing among the 65 acres of wrecked automobiles. “I thought cattle smelled bad but damn them sheep are nasty,” said Miles. The cattle may be gone but the memories linger as strong as the scent of those spring days when their father was cleaning out the corrals. “Customers were wanting to get in and out as quickly as possible,” said Blair. Miles runs the back end of the business — running the shop and the yard and co-ordinating the crushing and recycling duties. Blair handles the front end of the business — locating and pricing the parts and dealing with customers. Miles said Blair has an uncanny ability to remember what vehicles and parts are on the lot. There is no paper inventory, just what exists in his head.

“He can remember that but he can’t remember if I ask him to unclog the sink,” said his wife, Cheryl, who helps with the bookkeeping at Amigo’s and answers the phones. Miles’ wife, Tracey, also helps out with the business when she gets time

away from pursuing an education degree at the University of Saskatchewan. “It’s so family oriented and we all have a part of the business,” said Tracey. “We all do what we can to help each other out and work when-

ever we have to work.” That includes the kids. Miles and Tracey have three daughters, two of whom are working part time at the front counter. Blair and Cheryl have two boys, including 20-year-old Cody, who is being groomed to take over the reins of the business some day. Blair said one of the plans to expand the business is to have his computersavvy son create an inventory and take the high-value portion of the parts business online. A modest Miles claims they’re just “dumb farm boys that got lucky,” but when pressed he acknowledges that they inherited their father’s work ethic. Putting in six-day weeks for a quarter of a century has taken its toll. He hopes Cody, who started full time on Sept. 1, will take a little pressure off. It’s a safe bet that if Miles gets any free time, it will be spent polishing his collection of 10 pristine Ford muscle cars. “I’ve got issues. I’m not a drug addict. I’m a car addict,” he said. Blair also clings onto a lifelong habit that spawned their thriving business. He has five muscle cars. “He’s a Chevy guy. He only gets to see the rear bumper on my Fords,” Miles teased. Blair fires back that Miles’ cars never see the light of day. “God forbid if they ever got rained on or got a rock chip. I’d have a stroke,” said Miles.

eeping everyone happy at Christmas can be stressful, especially if they eat differently than you. For vegetarian guests like my sister, milk and eggs are usually OK but meat and seafood need to be avoided. Rather than roll your eyes when presented with a vegetarian guest at your table, make something special that everyone will enjoy. Use vegetable oils and vegetable shortening rather than lard, especially in pie and turkey stuffing. Cook some stuffing outside the bird and use vegetable stock, water or milk rather than chicken, turkey or beef stock. Also, avoid using the same utensils, cutting boards and pans for vegetarian and meat dishes. Avoid tofu burgers and other mock meats. Read labels to find fish or meat products in items like curry sauces and pasta sauces. Pizza, pastas, crepes, tacos, stews and quiches are easily adapted. Offer lots of vegetable dishes without meat stock, fresh or

to dry ingredients. Pulse until dough comes together in moist clumps, adding more ice water by teaspoonfuls if dough is dry. Gather dough into ball, flatten into disk. Wrap and chill one hour. It can be made one day ahead. Keep chilled. Preheat oven to 400 F (200C). Roll dough on lightly floured surface to 13 inch (33 cm) round. Transfer dough to nine inch (22 cm) tarte pan with removable bottom. Trim

excess dough to 1/3 inch (1 cm) above rim. Spread mustard evenly over bottom crust. Toss cheeses in medium bowl to blend. Spread over mustard. Arrange tomatoes, slightly overlapping, in two concentric circles atop cheese. Drizzle with oil, sprinkle with thyme and salt and pepper. Bake tarte until crust is deep brown, cheeses are melted and tomatoes are slightly charred and soft or about 45 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on rack until cheese sets, about 30 minutes. Push up pan bottom, releasing tarte. Cut into wedges and serve.

Add chopped onion. Saute until soft but not browned. Squeeze liquid from the frozen chopped spinach and add to the skillet. Add green onions and parsley. Cook until all the liquid is evaporated and spinach is dry. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature. Lightly beat eggs and add to cooled spinach mixture. Add feta cheese and seasonings. Stir to mix. Lay out the phyllo pastry on the counter and with kitchen shears, cut in half lengthwise and then cut each half in half again so that you have four stacks of phyllo strips. Cover with a dry tea towel, then add a damp tea towel. I brush the countertop liberally with melted butter so that you can lay out about seven strips of phyllo pastry. This prevents strips of pastry from moving around and also butters the

outside at the same time. Brush each strip with melted butter and top with a second strip of pastry. Brush the top one inch (2.5 cm) of the second strip with butter. Put a tablespoon (15 mL) of spinach mixture on the bottom end of the pastry strip. Fold the corner over the spinach mixture to make a triangle. Continue to fold like a flag until the whole strip is folded into a triangular packet. Brush with melted butter. Continue with the remainder of pastry and filling. Bake at 375 F (190C) for about 20 minutes or until brown and crispy. They can be frozen unbaked and stored in the freezer up to three months. Bake frozen at 375 F (190C) for about 20 minutes. It can also be made in a nine by 13 inch (23 cm x 33 cm) pan. Spray pan with oil. Lay one sheet of phyllo in and up the sides of the prepared pan. Brush lightly with butter. Top with seven more phyllo sheets and brush each one with butter. Spread spinach mixture over pastry. Top with eight more sheets of phyllo and brush with butter between each, including the top layer. Roll the overhanging phyllo from the sides to form a border all the way around. With a thin, sharp knife, cut the pie into squares, but do not cut through the bottom layer or the filling will leak out. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Bake at 375 F (190C) for about 45 minutes.

SHOULDER INJURY | DIAGNOSIS

HUMOUR | MEDIA INFLUENCE

Impingement syndrome treatments

Do violent video games spawn mass murderers? THE MORE THINGS CHANGE …

HEALTH CLINIC MICHAEL GILLGANNON

CLARE ROWSON, MD

I have had a painful shoulder, which has kept me awake at night for a few weeks now. It hurts when I try to raise my right arm. I play badminton and also do heavy work on the farm. I thought I had strained it, but my doctor says it is a frozen shoulder. Are there any exercises I can do to help? What causes this? I am generally fit and active.

Frozen shoulder, sometimes known as shoulder adhesive capsulitis, causes pain and restricted movement in the shoulder joint. The shoulder joints are encased in a capsule of connective tissue, that when inflamed, thickens and tightens around the shoulder, restricting its movement. Sometimes this happens after an accident or surgery, when the arm has been immobilized for a period of time. From your description, I think you are suffering from a different condition known as painful arc syndrome or impingement syndrome, or in medical terms, supraspinatus tendinitis. The supraspinatus is the muscle that runs along the top of the scapula or shoulder blade and is attached to the humerus, the upper arm bone at the tip of the shoulder known as the acromion. Usually, there is no friction between the tendon and the acromion, but if there is, it is known as impingement. This situation often occurs in athletes and is sometimes called swimmer’s or thrower’s shoulder. The doctor can diagnose it by performing a simple shoulder examination, which includes raising the arm from your side to the overhead position with the elbow straight. There is pain and resistance to movement in the 60 to 120 degree position, but no pain from the 120 degree point to the vertical 180 degrees. Painful arc syndrome is usually the result of overuse and an imbalance in muscles when one group of muscles becomes overdeveloped compared to the others. Painful arc syndrome usually improves within 20 days without any treatment if you rest the arm. At this point, I think you should avoid exercises, because too much exercise is what caused the problem in the first place. Steroid and/or lidocaine injections directly into the joint may help in providing relief sooner, or you could take anti-inflammatory drugs such as Advil. There are also ointments that you can rub onto the skin in the affected area, such as Myoflex. If you do not change your lifestyle, relapses could occur and you might even end up with osteoarthritis in the shoulder. Clare Rowson is a retired medical doctor in Belleville, Ont.

while back, I was getting beat up all the time. Then I began to study video fighting games in earnest. Now when my arch enemy turns into water, slides over to me, then refreezes and gives me an uppercut, I

retaliate with my Heaven’s Drop super move, just to soften him up before wielding the coup de grace of Tumbling Dice. I’m not ashamed to admit over a glass of mineral water that I’ve played video games for a long time — at least since the bouncing ball of Pong hit the bars. The ball was actually square, but no matter. It was an OK game, albeit a little short on plot. Before long, Pong’s ball evolved into a yellow munchie thing called Pac-Man, who was pursued around a maze by varicoloured ghosts. Harmless fun, it would seem. No pixels were irreparably harmed during its reign. Nowadays, video games are the stomping ground of megacorps. In

the early Eighties, 8,000 bytes would buy you an entire game, coded more tightly than the suspension on a Ferrari F430 Spider. But today, who counts bytes? Apparently, no one. These games are gigantic in terms of resources, disc space and advertising budget. They also, in general, are not as fun as they used to be. Or as hard. As in the “real” world, game companies get swallowed by bigger companies and bigger companies get swallowed by BIG companies. But the question was: do video games spawn mass murderers? Some pundits seem to think so. Basement-dwelling kid (“he seemed like such a nice boy”) plays Grand Theft Auto 20 hours a day, goes to

school one day and turns it into a shooting gallery. Conclusion: Grand Theft Auto is bad. Let’s try this for size: Basementdwelling kid No. 2 (“he seemed like such a nice boy”) sees a big picture of basement-dwelling kid No. 1 in parents’ newspaper. (Some people still read newspapers, apparently.) Kid No. 2 thinks, “Wow, I’d get my picture in the paper if I killed somebody. I’m nobody now, but wait until tomorrow.” Conclusion: Newspapers are bad. Michael Gillgannon is the former news editor of The Western Producer and managing editor of Western People.

THE PRION DIARIES | BOVINE SPONGIFORM ENCEPHALOPATHY

BSE: effect of devastating discovery lingers Cattle industry collapse | CFIA researcher says confirming Canada’s first case in 2003 was gut-wrenching STORIES BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Dr. Stephanie Czub has had one of the loneliest experiences in agriculture. She diagnosed the bovine brain sample that confirmed Canada’s first homegrown case of BSE in 2003, which dealt crippling blows to the cattle industry from which it has arguably yet to recover. Czub talked about her experience last week as part of a public lecture tour with keynote speaker Jay Ingram,

former radio and television show host and author of Fatal Flaws: How a Misfolded Protein Baffled Scientists and Changed the Way We Look at the Brain. In 2003, Czub was working at the Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s Winnipeg laboratory. On the Saturday of the May long weekend, she was one of few people working in the dark, quiet building while she waited for the brain sample to arrive. She and others in the CFIA had their suspicions about what the

sample would reveal, and Czub said her supervisor, in an attempt to bolster her spirits, asked her to remember she was not alone on the case. The sample from the Alberta cow arrived. It took her about 12 hours to prepare the tissue. Then she put the slide under the microscope. “When I was sitting there at midnight, realizing and acknowledging I saw what I saw, that this has to be called mad cow disease … it was the first home grown Canadian case of BSE, I felt pretty lonely. I felt like the loneliest one-man band you can imagine,” she told the group assembled at Lethbridge College. Only two years earlier, Czub had come to Canada from Europe, where BSE had caused massive cattle culls and sickened many people with the human equivalent of BSE called Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. “I knew exactly what would happen to the industry, to the farmer. And sure enough, 15 minutes the following morning, (after) the first press conference, 35 countries closed the border for Canadian beef and $9 billion later, this is where we are.” Canada has since diagnosed 18 cases of BSE, 16 of them the classical form thought to be caused by feeding infected bovine material to cattle.

PRION DISEASES Although they are rare, these diseases have caused public health concern because it is still not known how it is contracted and is always fatal. They include:

STEPHANIE CZUB RESEARCHER

The other two were atypical cases with an unknown cause, thought to be unconnected to feed. One case of BSE in Washington state was also linked to a Canadian source, which brings the total to 19, Czub said. Canadian cattle producers have long speculated on the lack of BSE cases discovered in the United States, given similar North American feeding practices and cattle importation. “Why indeed,” said Czub in a later interview. “When you look at the European Union, 27 countries, their BSE surveillance numbers from last year were around 12 million animals. Canada does around 60,000 and the U.S. does around 60,000 as well,” she said, despite the fact that the U.S. herd is 10 times larger than Canada’s. “The answer is pretty obvious.”

• scrapie in sheep and goats

• chronic wasting disease or CWD, in deer, moose, elk and caribou

THE PRION DIARIES | BRAIN PROTEINS

Cause of wonky brain proteins remain mystery after 30 years Jay Ingram threw a mousetrap into a nest of other mousetraps set to spring. The resulting chain reaction, with traps snapping and leaping off the table, was a quick and noisy way to illustrate his point about prions. Ingram, a former radio and television host and author, threw his mousetraps during the Prion Diaries, a speaking tour to Alberta’s four agricultural colleges during the week of Nov. 12. “That’s what happens in the brain,” he told a Lethbridge College crowd. “You introduce prion proteins that are misfolded into the brain and somehow … there’s some kind of contact, nobody really knows how.… you get this contact and it spreads and it causes diseases and in every single case, it’s invariably fatal.” BSE is the best known disease attributed to prions, which are misfolded proteins. Ingram gave a history of BSE’s discovery and handling in Europe, dating back to the mid-1980s, and its appearance in Canada in 2003. However, he also apprised his audience of similar brain diseases that he said are cause for concern. Among them are chronic wasting disease, a brain disease primarily found in deer that also has potential to infect elk, moose and caribou. CWD was first found in captive

You introduce prion proteins that are misfolded into the brain and somehow … you get this contact and it spreads and it causes diseases and in every single case, it’s invariably fatal. JAY INGRAM AUTHOR

Colorado deer in 1967 and has spread to at least 18 U.S. states and Saskatchewan and southeastern Alberta. “It’s the biggest biomass of prions in the world right now, chronic wasting disease,” said Ingram. “(There are) more chronic wasting disease prions in both captive and wild animals than any other prion disease.” Although CWD has been known for 40 years, it remains uncontained and can be spread by wild animals through saliva, urine, feces and placenta, Ingram said. “I’ve heard people say they think that ultimately vast numbers of deer, elk, caribou and moose might be susceptible.” Dr. Stephanie Czub, research manager for the Canadian Food Inspection Agency in Lethbridge, said CWD is uncontrollable because of wild animal movement, migration and

methods of spread. S h e s a i d m a na g e m e nt i s t h e remaining option, which includes restrictions on farmed elk and deer, double fencing and limited contact between captive and wild ungulates. “And this is barely managing it. It’s not controlling it,” said Czub. Kevin Keough, executive director of the Alberta Prion Research Institute, said he isn’t ready to agree that the CWD situation is uncontrollable. “There may be some possibility to control CWD with a very effective vaccine,” he said. “We and others are investing money in looking at the potential for vaccines. Administering effective vaccines in the wild, though, is an extremely difficult thing to do and usually when you’re doing it, you’re doing it against an agent that doesn’t hang around for 40 years (as prions do).”

FERTILIZER | NITROGEN

Investor details on proposed fertilizer plant coming North Dakota facility | Location of the nitrogen plant will be decided before Christmas, says the corn growers president BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

The proponents of a farmer-owned nitrogen fertilizer plant in North Dakota will make an offering to potential investors soon, says the president of the North Dakota Corn Growers Association. “It really is our goal to have it (the offering) out in the near future,” said Darin Anderson, who farms near Valley City, N.D. “We’d like to have it out before the first of December.” The corn growers, other commodity groups in North Dakota and Minnesota and the Manitoba Canola Growers Association (MCGA) plan to build a $1.5 billion plant that would use flare natural gas from the Bakken oil deposit to manufacture nitrogen fertilizer. Anderson, who was reluctant to put a precise timeline on the offering to farmers, said it will definitely occur before Christmas. The corn growers announced plans to build a plant in early July. Two months later, CHS Inc., the largest farmer-owned co-operative in the United States, said it would construct a $1.4 billion nitrogen fertilizer plant in Spiritwood, N.D. Anderson said producers behind the farmer-owned plant understand the implications of the CHS proposal, but it’s not going to derail their plans. “Even though we have to take it into consideration, we’re still going forward with our project,” he said. “We’re looking at the lack of (fertilizer) production in our area and this region has room for more than one plant.” The steering committee guiding the project is still considering three possible sites in North Dakota for the proposed plant, Anderson said.

The MCGA assumed a role in the project this summer. It paid $25,000 for a seat on the board because the plant, if successful, offers a way for Manitoba producers to control their fertilizer costs. M C G A v i c e -p re s i d e n t B r i a n Chorney, who represents the association on the project’s board, said Canadian farmers would have a chance to invest in the plant. “We’re definitely going to open it up to Canadian farmers,” said Chorney, who farms near Selkirk, Man. “(But) that will be up to individual producers to make that decision, if

they want to hedge their fertilizer costs with an investing in a fertilizer plant.” Chorney said he remains confident in the farmer-owned plant in North Dakota. “We’re not overly concerned about the CHS development,” he said. “Everybody’s projects are evolving and we continue to assess ours versus others, to ensure it makes sense to go forward.” North Dakota Corn Growers hasn’t publicized the project since the initial announcement in July, but Anderson said producers he speaks

The

with are “definitely interested.” “They know that they’ve been paying way, way more for their nitrogen fertilizer than what they should be,” he said. “It (the high price) is capitalism … but that doesn’t mean we have to sit back and take it for the rest of our farming careers.” In addition to the proposed plants in North Dakota, Farmers of North America held public meetings this fall in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, asking producers to support a farmer-owned $1 billion nitrogen plant in Western Canada. The FNA Fertilizer Limited Partner-

ship had raised $3.6 million in seed capital to fund environmental studies and other activities required to move the project to the equity investment stage. As well, CF Industries, one of the major players in the global fertilizer trade, announced in November it would spend $3.8 billion to expand capacity at its plants in Iowa and Louisiana. The expansion would add 2.1 million tons of ammonia, two to 2.6 million tons of granular urea and 1.8 million tons of UAN solutions (urea and ammonium nitrate) to its capacity.

U.S. REPORT | CONVENTIONAL VERSUS ORGANIC

Organic sector irked by report suggesting insurance against GM KANSAS CITY, Mo. (Reuters) — Organic growers and food safety advocates have condemned an advisory committee report to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. They claim that the report’s recommendations would be costly for farmers who want to protect their conventional crops from GMO contamination. The USDA had asked the committee to study how biotech agriculture could co-exist with organic and conventional agriculture. “Of particular concern in the report is the recommendation that organic and non-GE conventional farmers pay to self-insure themselves against unwanted GE contamination,” said a

statement by the National Organic Coalition. “This proposal allows USDA and the agricultural biotechnology industry to abdicate responsibility for preventing GE contamination while making the victims of GE pollution pay for damages resulting from transgenic contamination,” it said. Genetically modified crops have become popular with U.S. farmers since their introduction in 1996 and now make up the majority of corn and soybeans produced in the country. However, some farmers prefer not to grow GM crops due to perceived environmental and health concerns. As well, many markets pay a premium for non-GM crops.

The advisory committee said in its report that all American farmers have the right to make the best choices for their own farms, including the choice to grow GM, organic or conventional crops. Agriculture secretary Tom Vilsack said the USDA would review the report and consider the recommendations. “The report is the culmination of a great deal of hard work and complex discussion and review,” Vilsack said in a statement. “I understand that required compromises to find common ground.” The USDA had asked the advisory committee to analyze what types of compensation mechanisms, if any,

would be appropriate to address economic losses by farmers because of GM contaminations. The committee said its members could not agree about the extent to which a systemic problem exists and whether there is enough data to warrant a compensation mechanism to address it. While the committee acknowledged that unintended GMOs are found in commercial products, members differed in their assessment of the significance of the unintended presence. The committee recommended that the USDA evaluate data to better understand actual economic losses by farmers tied to GM contamina-

tion. It said compensation programs, if needed, should be modeled on existing crop insurance. As well, co-existence agreements between neighbouring farmers should be developed. “This issue will only increase as new biotech products come to market, so it is essential that the federal government step up now and establish strong policies that ensure coexistence measures are carried out by farmers, seed companies, and others who move food from the farm to the consumer’s table,” said Greg Jaffe, a committee member and director of the Biotechnology Project at the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a Washington-based non-profit.

ALBERTA WHEAT COMMISSION | DEBATE

New organization seeks louder voice for farmers Annual meeting in January | Motion passes to consider replacing new commission with all-crop commission STORIES BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Just as the newly formed Alberta Wheat Commission is electing directors and establishing its plans, one of its members has proposed it be replaced by an all-crop commission. Lethbridge area farmer Alex Russell made the motion Nov. 21 at the first Region 1 meeting of the Alberta Wheat Commission. His motion was passed and will be considered at the commission’s annual meeting scheduled Jan. 28 in Edmonton. Russell is a past chair of the Alberta Winter Wheat Producers Commission, which became part of the newly formed entity that represents growers of all types of wheat in Alberta. He said he worked toward formation of the wheat commission but at the time also saw merit in a larger provincial group that would have a bigger budget and mandate to represent growers of all annual crops. He also said a prairie-wide commission for annual crops would be even better. “It just doesn’t make sense to be segregated,” he said in an interview after the vote. “We have more interprovincial

trade barriers than we do international trade barriers and it makes no sense. Our farm probably has more in common with southern Saskatchewan farms than we do with a farm around Edmonton.” Russell pointed out the U.S.-based National Association of Wheat Growers as an example of a powerful group that represents the interests of farmers. He said most farmers grow more than one crop, and an all-crops commission could reflect their varying needs while saving money through sharing one building and administrative staff. “It’s just the logistical and fiscal cost savings, and then having the political clout of having them all under one umbrella group when you deal with Alberta and when you deal with Canada,” Russell said. “It is tough to get farmers organized like that, but it makes sense just on the fiscal and the physical constraints of buildings and things like that.” In his report to the meeting, given before Russell’s motion, zone director Lynn Jacobson of Enchant, Alta., said the new wheat commission erased divisions that sometimes plagued producers.

ALBERTA WHEAT COMMISSION | FIRST MEETINGS

New Alberta group getting its bearings Checkoff funds commission | General manager will hire staff for research, marketing and finance The first regional meetings for the Alberta Wheat Commission are underway in a province that annually grows 6.6 million acres of wheat. Lynn Jacobson, one of two directors for Region 1, helped spearhead the formation of the new commission, which officially formed Aug. 1. The commission had been explained to producers in a series of meetings last year. Jacobson told southern Alberta wheat producers Nov. 21 that global wheat consumption is expected to rise to an estimated 880 million tonnes by 2050, up from 666 million tonnes now, which will potentially create greater demand for prairie wheat. Alberta accounts for 30 percent of wheat acreage in Western Canada and grows all nine registered wheat varieties. Wheat is the largest crop by area and by annual production in the province. Jacobson said the organization will be funded by a 70 cents per tonne checkoff. It will apply to all wheat, including feed wheat, hard wheat and durum, which previously weren’t subject to the checkoff. The new commission received $70,000 in startup loans from the Alberta Barley Commission and the Alberta Canola Producers Commis-

We need to start talking together. We need to start working together.”

He pointed to the success of Quebec’s general farm group, Union des Producteurs Agricoles, as an example of a powerful farm group that has

influence with government. “While we don’t maybe want their style … the principle is very good for our organization,” Jacobson said.

Assets from the now-dissolved soft wheat growers and winter wheat g ro w e r s c o m m i s s i o n s, w h i c h totalled $240,000, were also rolled into the new entity. Jacobson outlined a balanced budget of $3.84 million for the 2012-13 crop year. The organization has hired Rick Istead as general manager. He will now hire five managers for research, m a r k e t i n g , c o m m u n i c a t i o n s, finance and administration. The commission has divided the province into five regions. Each will have two directors and three regional representatives. Once all are in place, they will serve on one or several of five committees: hard red and hard white spring, durum, prairie red and white spring, extra strong and general purpose and winter wheat.

CORN | SUPPLY AND DEMAND

U.S. corn growers snap up quality seed for next year Early orders | Growers want varieties with good genetics that perform in adverse conditions CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — Ohio farmer Rob Joslin is not taking chances with his corn seed, despite assurances that seed companies emerged from this summer’s devastating drought with adequate supplies. Joslin, who grows corn and soybeans in western Ohio, began buying seed in August, months earlier than usual, to lock in the best-yielding varieties. “(Farmers are) concerned about getting their seed varieties, especially corn,” he said. “It may not be there come Dec. 1.” U.S. farmers have come off the worst drought in more than half a century and are now scrambling to get their hands on the best corn seed to ensure they plant a good crop next spring. However, seed sellers say supplies are sufficient this year. Expanded corn plantings compensated for yields that were down 25 percent or more, and companies say timely rain in certain areas helped avoid severe crop losses. Seed supply is crucial for next year because top-performing varieties have the best chance of producing the large harvest needed to replenish low corn inventories and bring relief from high prices. Some companies warn that while supplies are sufficient, the quick pace of early sales could force slowmoving farmers to plant varieties that do not perform as well in adverse conditions.

Total U.S. corn production this year is estimated at a six-year low of 10.725 billion bushels, 27 percent less than the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s initial estimate last spring. Some of the country’s leading seed companies saw the risk of a shortage coming and boosted seed imports by up to 20 percent to guarantee supplies. Elk Mound Seed Co. in Wisconsin signed contracts to buy 20 percent more corn seed from the 2012 harvest than it did in 2011 in hopes of avoiding a crunch. However, the increased acres under contract were offset by yields that missed expectations by 20 to 25 percent, owner Mike Zutter said. “We’re really glad we did contract for more, because now we’re not going to get the fills (on all of the orders),” he said. “I’m not going to holler wolf.… There’ll be seed out there. Is it tight? Yes.” Stine Seed Co., which says it is the largest independent U.S. seed company, planted more acres in the U.S. and contracted to import 20 percent more corn seed from South America this year. Myron Stine, vice-president of sales, said the company’s decision to increase imports was based on “what we went through the year before” with tight supplies. “We’ll still be short on particular hybrids,” he said. The company’s vulnerability to

Following the worst drought in more than 50 years, U.S. farmers are wondering if there will be enough seed corn available to meet demand next spring. | crop damage depended on where their seed was produced. Stine Seed produces about twothirds of its seed in central Iowa, where yields were down but still generally good, Stine said. Some fields in Illinois, where southern areas were devastated, produced nothing, he said. If “you’re going to Indiana, Iowa, the drought is just not as severe,” he said. DuPont Pioneer, one of the world’s largest seed companies, grows seed across the corn belt from Nebraska to Indiana, with the large geographic area designed to mitigate events such as the drought that devastated crops in certain regions and not others. The company increased its plans to

27 percent LESS THAN DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE SPRING ESTIMATES import seed from South America during the summer as the severity of the U.S. drought came into focus. However, its “actual reliance on imports has actually tended to dwindle” because U.S. yields were not as bad as expected, said Dan Case, supply planning manager. “Certainly, this was one of the most

challenging production years I’ve seen.” “We’ve been really pleasantly surprised with the yields.” Corn grown for seed is a smaller subset of production. Companies produce it on their own land or sign contracts to buy it from farmers. It often suffers severe damage from

poor weather because it is produced from a genetically pure line that has not been bred with multiple traits to combat adverse conditions. By contrast, corn grown for grain is hardier because it is a hybrid of the best qualities of pure varieties. Farmers used 25 million bu. of corn for seed in the marketing year that ended Aug. 31, up 2.4 percent from the previous year because of expanded plantings, according to the USDA. That means 0.2 percent of the total crop was used for seed. Monsanto, the world’s largest seed company, is “confident in supplying seed for the coming year,” president Brett Begemann said on an earnings call last month. “As farmers turn toward next year,

seed is a priority,” Begemann said. That’s particularly true for farmers placing orders early. Illinois-based Wyffels Hybrids has “seen a lot of early orders and early payments,” said Jeff Hartz, director of marketing. “People are really after strong genetics that they think are going to perform.” Yields at Wyffels’ seed farms in northern Illinois received “lucky” rains and were 10 percent below average, much better than the 40 percent losses the company said were possible. He said Wyffels has a good supply of seed on hand after expanding plantings last spring, adding that some top varieties could run short.

CHRISTMAS CARD SCENE

Canadian restaurant group seeks two-tier pricing policy Complaints heard about high dairy prices hurting restaurant business BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

MPs heard a familiar message several weeks ago when Canada’s restaurant industry staged a Parliament Hill lobby day — high dairy prices hurt their business. Canadian Dairy Commission leaders heard the same message in a faceto-face meeting. Last week, the Canadian R e s t a u ra n t a n d Fo o d s e r v i c e s Association followed up with a concrete proposal. It sent a letter to the Canadian Dairy Commission proposing a two-tier cheese pricing policy that would give products destined for the restaurant sector a lower price. Frozen pizza manufacturers who must compete with imports have a deal that lowers the price of their mozzarella cheese. They produce product for home consumption that competes with restaurant meals. “Lower-priced cheese for restaurants will level an uneven playing field that forces fresh pizza makers to pay 30 percent more for mozzarella cheese than frozen pizza manufacturers,” wrote the CRFA. While the value of restaurant orders are increasing, pizza orders “have decreased by a stark 12 percent,” CRFA president Garth Whyte said. “The restaurant industry wants to help reverse these disturbing trends. We want to be part of a growing dairy industry.” He noted that dairy products purchased for restaurant sales are worth $2.5 billion annually. “As one of your largest customers, we want to do more to promote and grow the market for Canada’s highquality dairy products,” said the CRFA. “Unjustifiably high prices, however, are having the opposite effect.” Whyte said dair y farmers are becoming more efficient, but the benefits are not being passed onto consumers. “Over the past several years, dairy price increases have vastly outpaced the cost of production, making Canadian dairy prices far higher than other industrialized countries,” he wrote. The association called for a government policy to amend supply management to “bring dairy prices to a more competitive level while ensuring a fair return to producers.”

CANADA-EUROPEAN UNION | TRADE TALKS

Federal ministers seek to narrow differences BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Two federal cabinet ministers headed to Europe last week for direct intervention as unresolved issues at the Canada-European Union free trade talks begin to narrow down to the politically toughest areas. Agriculture minister Gerry Ritz and trade minister Ed Fast were in Brussels trying to narrow the differences. “They (negotiators) are down to discussing some ver y difficult issues,” Denis Landreville, director and lead negotiator for regional agreements with Agriculture Canada, told the annual Grain Industry Symposium in Ottawa Nov. 21. The difficult 10 percent of issues left to deal with include Canada’s aim to improve access to Europe for beef

and pork and the EU demand for improved dairy product access and its insistence that European geographic indicators on many agricultural products (product names based on their region of origin) be respected in Canada. “ These types of issues will be among the last to be settled,” he said during the grain symposium organized by the Canada Grains Council and Grain Growers of Canada. According to Landreville, the two sides have agreed on a text that will make the EU’s rule-making process for dealing with genetically modified products more “transparent.” However, any deal that emerges will not see the Europeans opening their markets to GM products or imports of beef from hormone-treated cattle. Still, he said there has been signifi-

cant progress since the negotiations launched in May 2009. “Many chapters of the negotiation have been closed.” He said the European agreement on a text opening its system for making rules on biotechnology products to more scrutiny and Canadian comment is “unprecedented.” Although Landreville would not comment on the possible timing for a deal announcement, there has been speculation that the agreement is possible as early as the first quarter of 2013. However, Canadian exporters should not expect new access anytime soon. Free trade deal approvals in Canada typically require at least two years to get through parliamentary hoops and the 27-country EU has an even more complicated and cumbersome approval process.

“It’s going to take some time,” said Landreville. Even without a deal, the EU is Canada’s second largest trading partner. Sales of Canadian agricultural products, mainly grains, oilseeds, pulses and special crops, are worth $2.7 billion annually. Agricultural and alcohol imports from Europe are worth $3.88 billion. It is Canada’s largest trade negotiation in two decades. “This process represents the most ambitious trade negotiation since the NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement in 1994),” said Landreville. Meanwhile, Canadian trade negotiators are busy on many fronts. Canada’s first session in the TransPacific Partnership trade negotiation happens while talks with Japan, India, Ukraine and Morocco continue.

CLIMATE | FORECAST

Carbon dioxide emissions keep rising

Drought may spur action on climate

GENEVA, Switzerland (Reuters) — Atmospheric volumes of greenhouse gases blamed for climate change hit a new record last year, the World Meteorological Organization said in its annual Greenhouse Gas Bulletin. The volume of carbon dioxide, the primary greenhouse gas emitted by human activities, grew at a similar rate to the previous decade and reached 390.9 parts per million, which is 40 percent above the preindustrial level, the survey said. It has increased by an average of two ppm for the past 10 years. Fossil fuel is the primary source of 375 billion tonnes of carbon that have been released into the atmosphere since the industrial era began

in 1750, the WMO said. Secretary-general Michel Jarraud said the billions of tonnes of extra carbon dioxide would stay in the atmosphere for centuries, causing the planet to warm further. “We have already seen that the oceans are becoming more acidic as a result of the carbon dioxide uptake, with potential repercussions for the underwater food chain and coral reefs,” he said in a statement. Levels of methane, another longlived greenhouse gas, have risen steadily for the past three years after levelling off for about seven years. The reasons for the leveling off are unclear. Growth in volumes of a third gas,

nitrous oxide, quickened in 2011. It has a long-term climate impact that is 298 times greater than carbon dioxide. The WMO, the United Nations’ weather agency, said the three gases, which are closely linked to human activities such as fossil fuel use, deforestation and intensive agriculture, had increased the warming effect on the climate by 30 percent between 1990 and 2011. The prevalence of several less abundant greenhouse gases was also growing fast, it said. Sulfur hexafluoride, used as an electrical insulator in power distribution equipment, had doubled in volume since the mid-1990s.

Floods, drought, storms | Policy makers must adjust priorities to address the cause of climate change DES MOINES, Iowa (Reuters) — A group of scientists in Iowa say this year’s harsh drought was a sign of things to come and should spur more action to prepare for the challenges of a warming climate. “Weather varies too much and has too many drivers to attribute any particular event to a single cause like climate change, but there is a clear

pattern of crop loss and property damage from increasingly frequent events such as flooding, drought and dangerous storms,” said Dave Courard-Hauri, chair of Drake University’s environmental science and policy program. “We don’t face a choice between our economy and the planet. The choice is between addressing the causes and effects of climate change or spending ever more money cleaning up from events like we’ve seen in the past several years.” Iowa is the top grower of corn and soybeans in the United States as well as a big hog and cattle producer. Iowa and Illinois together produce about one-third of the nation’s corn and soybeans for food, feed and fuel. This year’s drought, the worst in half a century, cut Iowa’s corn production by 19 percent and soybeans by 14 percent from last year, according to government crop estimates. Livestock and dairy producers, with less insurance protection, are being hit hardest as feed and forage prices soar, causing farmers to cull herds or go out of business. Christopher Anderson, the assistant director of Iowa State University’s climate science program, said there is “clear, statistical evidence” that extreme high temperatures are happening more often than extreme low temperatures in Iowa. “Since 1981, the likelihood of severely wet springs has more than doubled. What was once a one-in10-year wet spring is now occurring two to three times in every 10 years,” he said. “Yet 2012 reminds us that dry summers can still happen. The 2012 July and August statewide rainfall was the lowest since 1976.” Jerald Schnoor, co-director of the University of Iowa’s Center for Global and Regional Environmental Research, said state policymakers should use 2012 climate data to make new decisions, such as doubling wind energy production and using methane from livestock manure and city sewage treatment plants. “We have confidence in recent findings that climate change is real and having an impact on the Iowa economy and on our natural resources,” Schnoor said. The group issued an Iowa Climate Statement signed by 138 scientists at 27 Iowa colleges and universities. “The climate likely will continue to warm due to increasing global emissions and accumulation of greenhouse gases,” the statement said. “Iowa should lead innovation in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, improve resilience in agriculture and communities, and move towards greater energy efficiency and increased use of renewable energy.”

Artisan’s canvas Master carver Chuck Ratliff of Grande Prairie, Alta., uses antlers as the medium to showcase his unique carvings. |

RANDY VANDERVEEN PHOTOS

BY RANDY VANDERVEEN FREELANCE WRITER

While dropped antlers are relatively common across the rural areas of Western Canada, for one Grande Prairie man they make a canvas and frame for his unique artwork. Chuck Ratliff has used antlers, mostly moose because of their size, to create carvings of wildlife in Western Canada for 20 years. Ratliff, a retired forest ranger who grew up on a homestead in the Bonanza area of northwestern Alberta, said he has been around wildlife all his life. Moose were a common sight during his work as a ranger. He said one day he spotted 80 moose through the course of a day, unusual but 20 was not uncommon. Ratliff started carving wood but he had a collection of antlers at home and decided to try something with it. Wildlife makes up the majority of his work with moose and big horn sheep being his most common mammals and bald eagles his most popular bird. However, he has carved scenes that have featured cowboys on horseback with a pack horse trailing behind and a forest ranger scene that he has kept in his own collection. The scene features a ranger on horse back riding up to a forestry cabin while a fox and raven are also in the scene. Ratliff points out these scenes are a lot more work because of the detail like the reins on the horse and horn on the saddle. Winter proves to be the season when the carver spends the most time on his craft. He uses a couple of heavy duty rotary saws to cut out a rough shape of his carving and then one of a number of smaller hand-held rotary saws to carve with — each containing a different blade. The antler carvings take on a lifelike appearance as each step involves bringing out more of its three dimension characteristic with the final colouring process making the art work quite life-like. Ratliff points out each piece of carving starts out the same — a drawing that is taped onto the antler to get it sized and framed. Then the area is sanded and the drawing transferred to the sanded surface of the antler. Ratliff said sometimes the drawings don’t look quite right but that is fixed as he works on the sculpting process. Years of seeing the animals he carves works its way into each piece as it is refined into a realistic replica. Ratliff’s art work has not gone unnoticed. He has been commissioned to carve a specific work into the antler — including a cougar on a rock watching a white-tailed buck walk past. Pieces of his art work have made their way across Canada, into the United States, Mexico, Australia and South Africa. The master carver is busy with his craft but he has reduced the amount of carvings he is putting out each year. The first year he began carving it almost turned into a full-time job. He has cut that back so he can enjoy his carving but also appreciate the time away from it.

EQUIPMENT | TIRES

Recycled plastic tires go green — literally Flat-proof tires | Industry has been toying with plastic tires for decade BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

Tires on centre pivot irrigation systems have something in common with implement tires: if just one goes down, the whole machine goes down. The tire issue for irrigators took a giant step forward this September when Dawson Tire and Wheel introduced its RhinoGator plastic puncture-proof pivot tires. Like Henry Ford’s Model T, the RhinoGator comes in any colour a farmer would want, as long as it’s lime green. According to Dawson, the new tire never goes flat. It is manufactured in two 180 degree halves that bolt together, fitting snugly on a standard sized pivot rim. Each half is hollow inside but is encased in a special plastic so mud and water cannot get inside. Bolt holes are moulded into the flanges where the two halves join. The tires are easily installed using standard wrenches. The high-density plastic resin was engineered specifically for the daily rigours of a pivot tire. The formula accounts for weight, torque stress, exposure to sunlight and resistance to chemicals. The formula includes renewable plastic made from corn. “We have done some very vigorous testing and we haven’t had one crack or leak yet,” said Kacie Morris, marketing manager at Dawson. “We field tested for thousands of hours, plus we’ve sold 700 tires. We’ve had no reports of problems of any kind.” The bright lime green RhinoGator tires are manufactured in Gothenburg, Nebraska, and many have been sold in the immediate area. Some irrigators say they like the tires because they’re easy to spot in the field when they need to do maintenance work. Joe Wahlgren installed six RhinoGators on three quarter-section pivots this year. “We wanted three different environments, three different crops, so we could monitor them and make comparisons,” he said. The tread design was engineered for maximum traction in wet soil because a pivot tire runs only in wet conditions. The non-directional lugs ensure that the tire has maximum traction travelling clockwise or counter-clockwise. The rigid centre rib allows engineers to use a lower profile sidewall for added strength. RhinoGator tires can be used in combination with conventional rubber tires of the same size. They are available in the three

standard sizes for pivots: 11.2-38, 11.2-24 and 11-24.5. “We had no structural issues,” Wahlgren said. “There’s air inside, but they’re not pressurized, so they won’t collapse if there’s a puncture. They’re made of rigid structural plastic that will support them if there’s a leak. They never go down.” He said there was no sign of deterioration from chemicals or sunlight this summer, which was the first year he used the tires. The lug design gave him good traction in all conditions, he added. Tim Schmeeckle put RhinoGator tires on two of his quarter section pivots. They were first generation tires sold in limited quantities before the official rollout in September. “I’m going to put them on all my pivots,

gradually over time as the rubber tires need replacement. Eventually, all 14 pivots will be on plastic tires,” he said. “The idea is that we just install them and then forget about them. The traction is good. I’m happy so far.” Morris said Dawson doesn’t plan to expand into heavier machines such as tractors, high clearance sprayers and combines. “(As for Canada,) at this time we do not have any Canadian dealers, but we will be looking to expand into Canada once sales pick up more.” The RhinoGator carries a list price of $495 per tire. For more information, contact Eric MacPherson at 308-537-7408 or visit www.rhinogator.com.

The new plastic flat-proof pivot tire sells for $495 and carries a three year warranty. It’s available in all three standard pivot tire sizes. | DAWSON TIRE AND WHEEL PHOTOS

KOCHIA | CONTROL

2,4-D won’t solve glyphosate resistance Kochia problems | A higher concentration of dicamba may be necessary BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Some farmers in southern Alberta and into Saskatchewan have two problems: • they have glyphosate resistant kochia and don’t realize it • when they realize it, they will probably think 2,4-D will get rid of it Bob Blackshaw of Agriculture Canada’s Lethbridge research centre said only a few fields of glyphosate resistant kochia have been identified, but that’s not much of a relief. “You start looking, you start finding,” said Blackshaw. “It’s quite likely widespread already.” Three fields in southern Alberta were found to have glyphosate resistant kochia two years ago after a farmer contacted Blackshaw. Forty-six fields in the area were tested near the end of the 2011 season and seven also had glyphosate resistant kochia. Four fields have also been identified in Saskatchewan. Three hundred fields were tested this year and the results will be analyzed this winter. However, Blackshaw said people shouldn’t be surprised that the problem is developing. Glyphosate is used so often, especially in chem fallow systems, that fields have 30 to 40 applications of the chemical within a few years. “There is no reason to believe we are not having selection at multiple

sites,” said Blackshaw. Chemicals such as dicamba still work well to control kochia, so there are ways to clean up outbreaks. Group 2 herbicides don’t generally work on kochia, but some producers still use them. Farmers especially believe 2,4-D is a good way to knock out kochia, which is false. “2,4-D never was good on kochia, and it is not going to work,” said Blackshaw. “2,4-D is not going to cut it.” Dicamba is effective, but increasing the concentration is probably necessary. “We’re probably going to have to go with higher rates,” said Blackshaw. Glyphosate-resistant kochia is new to Alberta but not to the U.S. Great Plains. Kansas farmers have been struggling with it for years and have done much research on the problem. Frequent use of glyphosate allows some plants that have multiple copies of a certain gene to survive

oped types as old ones disappear from the seed bank. The tumbleweed nature of kochia then spreads the seeds far and wide.

Blackshaw said farmers are going to have to get used to having tank mixes again and to research which chemistries actually work on the weed.

CAMELINA | PRODUCTION

Volunteer camelina plants easy to eradicate: researcher Not highly competitive | Weed treatments wipe out volunteers BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Camelina’s tiny seeds can lie dormant over winter and create a volunteer crop the next year. | FILE PHOTO

Farmers might like camelina sativa for its big oilseed yields, but many worry about the large number of seeds the combine leaves behind. With 7,500 seeds per sq. metre missing the hopper, that could produce a massive weed crop in future years. However, a University of Alberta researcher says camelina growers can rest easy: the seeds don’t survive long, produce weak offspring and are easily managed. “The seeds exited the seed bank within one year, although surface seeds tended to persist a bit longer,” Kimberly Walsh said during the Canadian Weed Science Society’s annual meeting in Winnipeg Nov. 14. Camelina seeds are about onethird the size of canola seeds and easily escape from the combine. They can germinate in the autumn and lie dormant over the winter, or they can germinate in the spring if

sufficient moisture is present. “There definitely is a flush,” said Walsh. However, a pre-seeding treatment of glyphosate wipes out most of the volunteer camelina, and an in-crop weed treatment tends to eliminate the rest. The seed’s general low survivability means there’s almost none by the second year. “My research shows that volunteer populations can be eradicated to near extinction within two years,” Walsh said in an interview. Still, farmers can reduce the potential for camelina appearing as a weed by fine-tuning the mechanics of their

harvesting, from slowing down to adjusting settings. Walsh was asked why she considers camelina to have a low potential for weediness when it was considered a weedy crop that could go feral in the 1930s and 1940s. She said present camelina varieties have been bred for domestic conditions. “I did not find that camelina is a highly competitive crop.” Even volunteer flushes ignored by farmers tend to do poorly against other crops and weeds. Shepherd’s purse and stinkweed outcompete camelina. Walsh said her research allows her to conclude that farmers should be able to grow camelina without its large seed loss creating a significant volunteer problem. However, farmers need to do their part by cleaning fields the year after growing the crop. “Weed control in the year following harvest is critical for the control of camelina volunteers and the mitigation of gene flow,” she said.

UTILITY TRACKING

CAT GETS BOBBED

Soucy of Quebec is known for its track systems, which are found on tractors and combines. The company is now offering a smaller set for four-wheel utility carts. They are available in three sizes. The smallest set of tracks for front axles are 11.5 inches wide, to allow steering, and 14 inches in the rear. A 14-inch front track is also available. An upward sloped front track allows the units to climb when they first encounter an obstacle, keeping traction and flotation maximized. Ultra High Molecular Weight plastic wheels with a plastic bound rubber band drives the tracks, allowing the hubs to shed snow and mud. The wheels are narrow, to keep snow from accumulating in the wheels.

Bobcat is leaving the wheeled tractor business. The company, known for its skid-steer loaders and more recently its utility vehicles, is not renewing its five-year-old tractor agreement. The company will continue marketing the tractors in its dealer and supply chain inventories and provide warranty support for the products.

Once installed, the units result in the UTV putting less than one pound per sq. inch onto the ground. The tracks can be swapped for tires in about 30 minutes, after an in initial 90 minute installation, says the company. A set of tracks is priced from $4,700.

DESTINED FOR GREATNESS

Ergot poisoning is poorly understood but students attempt to find answers BY MICHAEL RAINE

6060 RR

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Three University of Alberta students were looking for a major project as they neared the end of their undergraduate agriculture degrees. They had noticed a shortage of comprehensive information about ergot poisoning in livestock and an easy way for growers to evaluate whether grain contained enough of the fungal disease’s black sclerotia to be considered harmful. Jacob Onyschuk, Shelby Froland and Dani Smerek decided to figure out how to make it easier to measure for toxic levels of ergot in wheat. “We were actually surprised how hard it was to put all the data together. There isn’t any one-stop-shopping when it comes to ergot information,” said Onyschuk. The students have created a simple sample kit that provides producers with a fact sheet and a handy, pocket-sized card that contains the measurement information and allowable tolerance for cattle and hogs at different stages of development and for pullets, laying hens and broilers. “Farmers will know if their grain is acceptable for the various livestock using the reference card and a onecup measure,” Onyschuk said. “Take 25 sample cups and examine each for ergot. We have established the amount that can be tolerated for each (animal) from a sample that size,” he said. The 6.25 litre sample is large enough to be scientifically sound, while not so large that it is difficult to examine. The students will submit their project and then plan to make it available in December through the U of A and HiPro, a feed company from Fort Saskatchewan, Alta., which has helped them in the project. “It’s a tool. Farmers can use it to decide if they have enough (ergot) to be a problem and if they do, how much grain they will need to dilute it,” Onyschuk said. Ergotism causes animals to go off their feed. It can also result in death, abortions, deformed offspring and lameness.

because wheat yields have to increase and the crop must become more efficient in using water and fertilizer. “I believe GMO wheat will come eventually,” he said. “I’m not sure when exactly that will be. Some predict within the next 10 years. We know there are developments currently underway.” He acknowledged that there still is resistance in some markets so the development must be co-ordinated and come with significant effort to win over consumers. “It needs to continue to be science based and that technology as we develop it, we’ll need to do a much better job of educating and communicating the value of the technology and why it is necessary and not be afraid of addressing our critics,” he told MPs. Istead said research in Australia has shown the potential of 30 percent yield increases with GMO wheat varieties. He was immediately challenged by anti-GMO New Democratic Party MPs. British Columbia MP Alex Atamanenko said the Australian results are preliminary. “According to the research I’ve done, there’ve been no major increases in yield through GM,” he said. “It’s all been through good conventional breeding with any crop in the world.” He wondered if the industry has the strength to resist the next attempt to introduce the technology now that the CWB’s export monopoly is gone. The board was one of the strong critics of earlier attempts to bring GM wheat to Canada. Quebec New Democrat Francine Raynault asked why Canada should risk alienating traditional markets by embracing GM technology for wheat. “We have to be able to demonstrate to the customer, the consumer, the benefits or value that GM technology brings to them and to the market,” said Istead. It will require education of foreign consumers and the assurance of a scientific evaluation that GM products on the market shelf are safe and equivalent to products derived from conventional plant breeding. However, he conceded market acceptance will be a challenge. “Unfortunately, there’s a significant portion of the population who are not in favour of GMOs and biotechnology,” said Istead. “I lived in Europe when that issue was really a problem over there. I think we’re beginning to see signs that the Europeans are starting to have a little more tolerance for it.” He thinks consumers will eventually start to see the value of it. “What we need to convince them of is that long-term, there is no risk associated with the technology.” Atamanenko, with side comments about B.C. opposition to a GM nonbrowning apple variety, indicated he is not about to be convinced about the long-term safety of the technology.

ing projects) … we think that we’ve got an excellent model to use that to approach industry to administer research and development funds in an arm’s length method, as well as other government agencies, both federal and provincial.” Chair Terry Fehr said the federal decision wasn’t the sole factor behind the rebranding. The organization has been trying to broaden its mandate for awhile. “To diversify our funding sources and do more for rural Manitoba and agriculture in Manitoba,” said Fehr. He said the re-branding was probably overdue because after 15 years of existence, some Manitoba residents remained confused about MRAC. “In the past, there’s always been a bit of an identity crisis. When they see the name, the Manitoba Rural Adaptation Council, most often people think we’re part of the provincial government,” he said, even though MRAC wasn’t funded by the province. “That’s part of the impetus behind the rebrand, to set ourselves (apart).” MRAC, a non-profit corporation, has funded 600 projects and invested more than $23 million in rural adaptation and innovation in Manitoba since 1997. It has funded studies on the poten-

Appealing to Urban Farmers By Mark Ferguson

Grant Wood reaches into a grey container full of vegetables and pulls out a small tomato that appears to be turning black. They are called black prince tomatoes, he said, “but they are not actually black, they turn a dark shade of burgundy… absolutely delicious.” Wood, assistant professor in the Department of Plant Sciences in the College of Agriculture and Bioresources, has been working at the U of S for 27 years and his passion for growing food is infectious. He teaches one of the newest classes on the University of Saskatchewan campus, Urban Food Production (Plant Sciences 235). “The most important part of this class is the social aspect,” said Wood. “Yes, of course the class teaches students about food production, but I want to teach them about building a community around food.” Last year, 25 students enrolled in the class and 40 are taking it this semester. Wood thinks the class will continue to grow as students take more of an interest in becoming urban “farmers.” “Are you a farmer? You have a garden and you live in the city, but can you make a living growing urban vegetables and fruit?” Wood answers these questions in his class and talks about different ways his students could pursue careers in urban food production. He also teaches them about the nutritional and environmental benefits of keeping the production close to home. “Packaging, transportation costs, pesticides … these are the things we think about in this class. Hopefully some of the students will think about the potential for urban agriculture as a small business.” Wood added students come from a number of different colleges to take the class, which covers a lot of ground, including nutrition, basic soil science, planning, production and harvesting. The final project involves a plan to transform an urban setting into a community or market garden. Wood said he really wants his students to design gardens that fit into the landscape of the city. “There are so many things to think about when you are planning a garden, such as the older areas of Saskatoon where large old trees can completely shade the ground … but I have a million ideas for how this class could evolve: rooftop gardens, urban bee hives, urban chicken coops, urban livestock, fruit trees. All of these ideas require a community of people to make them work and that’s why it is the social aspect of urban food production that is the most important. “Food is everything.” www.agbio.usask.ca

WINTER WHEAT | PRODUCTION OUTLOOK

U. S. crop struggles in dry soil Crop rating lowest ever | Views differ over whether fall condition affects final winter wheat yields BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Depending on who you talk to, it’s either way too early to write off the U.S. winter wheat crop or time to pull out the eraser and pencil in a smaller production number. The crop is off to its worst start since condition ratings began in 1986. Only 33 percent of the winter wheat was rated in good to excellent condition as of Nov. 26, down from 52 percent a year ago. But those ratings can be deceiving, said Tom Leffler, owner of Leffler Commodities in Augusta, Kansas. “I’m not a real big believer in crop condition ratings,” he said. Kansas typically accounts for 36 percent of the U.S. hard red winter wheat crop. The next biggest producer is Oklahoma at 12 percent. “Kansas is more important to the winter wheat crop than what either Iowa or Illinois or Indiana by themselves are to corn and soybeans,” said Leffler. The U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates a mere 29 percent of Kansas’s winter wheat crop is in good to excellent condition, which is below the dismal nation-wide rating. Jim Shroyer, wheat specialist at Kansas State University, said there’s plenty of evidence to support that rating. “The first thing I saw is poor growth of secondary roots or crown roots,” he said in an article that ran on the

U.S. Wheat Associates’ website. Crown roots take up more water and nutrients than primary roots, so they are important for the plant to survive the winter. And they help anchor the plant in the ground. “By this point in the season there should be a much more extensive crown root system than what I found,” said Shroyer. Leffler isn’t as concerned about the condition of the crop heading into dormancy based on what he has seen and on reports he is getting from farmers in central Kansas through central Oklahoma, which is by far the most important winter wheat growing region of the country. “That’s probably some of the better looking wheat. Two weeks ago a lot of that area picked up an inch or better of rain. That really made a lot of difference,” he said. Leffler said it’s not good to have too much growth heading into dormancy, so he believes the crop could be in decent condition come spring.

Informa Economics figures the poor start to the 2013-14 winter wheat crop will hurt yields. The forecaster sees a similar sized crop as last year despite what it believes is an extra million acres that went in the ground of hard and soft wheat. Some analysts suggest there is no correlation between crop condition at this time of year and final yields. Neil Townsend, director of CWB Market Research, said that is malarkey. The CWB has been touring the U.S. hard red winter wheat growing areas in the first week of December for decades. “It is our opinion that you can make some judgments on the crop as it goes into dormancy,” he said. “We’ve been able to make some pretty good judgments on what’s going to happen. There is a correlation on the way it goes into dormancy and the final results.” Heading into this year’s tour, CWB is forecasting that U.S. winter wheat area will be up 900,000 acres over last year but production will be down 2.7 million tonnes. Townsend thinks the production forecast will drop further once colleague Bruce Burnett returns from his annual trip to the U.S. plains. Based on the condition reports, there has already been excessive damage to this year’s crop. The U.S. has a huge supply of hard red winter wheat, but if the pace of exports picks up in the next eight to 10 weeks, wheat markets could get

interesting if the coming crop is indeed in trouble. Leffler insists it is much too early to be slicing yields. “Winter wheat crops are not made or lost this early in the season. Winter wheat is very much like cats — it has many, many lives. About the time you think that you’re walking away from a lost crop it can fool you,” he said. Forecasters are calling for the next month to be warmer and drier than normal, which won’t help matters but Leffler said spring precipitation is what will make or break the crop. “This crop could be a lot better than anybody dreamed of if the right weather conditions happen,” he said.

Interim CWB payments on wheat, durum and designated barley delivered during the 2011-12 crop year, the final year of the board’s monopoly, will be made in early December. The interim payments announced Nov. 21 for wheat range from $6.80 to $50.95 per tonne depending on grade, class and protein level. The high end of the range will be paid on high protein No. 3 red spring and No. 3 hard white spring. The low end of the range will be paid on lower grade, low protein wheat. The interim payments for durum wheat range from $20.90 to $40.80 per tonne. Almost all grades will get a payment of between $27 and $29 per tonne. The $40.80 payment applies only to No. 4 CWAD. The interim payments for designated barley range from $11.70 to $19.70 per tonne. The high end of the range will be paid on six-row types. Payments per tonne for base grades, basis at port are: • No. 1 CW red spring wheat 12.5 percent protein will fetch $24.35, raising the total payment to date to $276.70. The last Pool Return Outlook for 2011-12 came out in July. At that time the PRO for No. 1 CWRS 12.5 percent protein was $292. • No. 1 CW amber durum 12.5 percent protein will fetch $27.40, raising the total payment to date to $330.70. The July PRO for that grade was $350. • Select two-row designated barley will fetch $14.70 for a total payment to date of $296.60. The July PRO for that grade was $297. Farmers who receive CWB payments by direct deposit will receive the money Dec. 4. Cheques will start arriving in the mail by Dec. 13. Those wishing to defer payments have until Nov. 30 to notify the CWB. Interim payments are issued after the crop year ends. They are an early payment of proceeds that would otherwise be included in the final payment. A final payment to farmers is made after CWB accounts are finalized.

Market awaits canola report Final tally | Analysts expect December production numbers to reflect yield losses from prairie windstorms and disease BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Big question marks float over the size of this year’s prairie canola crop, but the markets aren’t too anxious yet about the Statistics Canada final crop production estimates due Dec. 5. Crop traders have relaxed so much since the summer drought rally ran its course that it might take big changes in the crop size estimates to shake away the complacency. “I think it’d really have to take people off guard before you’d really see a whole lot of reaction,” analyst Jon Driedger of FarmLink Marketing Solutions said about the report. Analysts said traders have spent little time thinking about the report, even though canola stocks are razor thin after this year’s disappointing harvest. Analysts’ estimates for the final crop size range from 14 million to less than 13 million tonnes, a huge spread for this time of year. In October, Statistics Canada slashed prairie canola production to 13.2 million tonnes, an 8.1 percent decline from 2011-12 based on a decline of 17.5 percent in average yield. Wild wind storms swept large parts of the canola growing area after that report’s survey was completed, and continued reports of low yields and quality damage due to disease have appeared. That would usually lead to intense interest in the Statistics Canada numbers, but the report comes out after a long, grinding decline of crop prices. Markets have fallen back a lot since the summer’s historic and explosive rally of corn, soybean and wheat prices. The slump in soybeans was particularly brutal for market bulls because tight ending stocks projections for U.S. soybeans have been a driving force for higher prices since late in the first quarter of this year.

JON DRIEDGER FARMLINK MARKETING SOLUTIONS

However, high soybean prices appear to have hurt demand. Chicago soybean futures have sold off from nearly $18 per bushel to about $14 recently. Canola’s rally and decline were less pronounced than in soybeans. Analysts say that means canola is still pricey compared to soybeans. Guessing the Statistics Canada numbers is a regular activity for analysts, but this year’s number is particularly hard to estimate. Driedger said canola production estimates tend to grow from October to December, but that has to be balanced against the windstorm damage. However, Ball thinks the windstorm did less damage than many believe and have claimed. Chuck Penner of LeftField Commodity Research said he also thinks the wind damage was overstated, and thinks most farmers have probably under-reported their yields. Farmers have already delivered much more of this year’s canola crop than normal for this time of year, if Statistics Canada’s October numbers were right, Penner said. More likely is that Statistics Canada’s number was too small and that the flow of canola to port is normal. The December numbers will confirm if this is true. Ball said he wouldn’t be surprised to see the production estimate trimmed by 300,000 to 400,000 tonnes.

“It wouldn’t be a shock to be below 13 million,” said Ball. Driedger said he thinks 13 million is a reasonable estimate. However, Penner thinks the estimate is more likely to be increased by hundreds of thousands of tonnes, with it more likely to hit 14 million than fall under 13 million. “There’s room for it to move up quite a way,” said Penner. There could easily be a market reaction if the crop drops below 13 million tonnes, analysts said. “The canola situation is still very tight and demand is still strong, so canola will probably have to become more expensive to kill some demand coming down the road,” said Ball. Added Driedger: “Because we’re already so tight, if you come out with anything below (13 million tonnes) it’s going to make things really tight.” However, if the Statistics Canada estimate is little changed, it is unlikely to break canola far from its present relationship to the soybean, corn and wheat markets, analysts said.

Tight feed grain supplies will likely buoy barley prices this winter, says an Alberta Agriculture crop markets analyst. Charlie Pearson told southern Alberta barley and wheat growers Nov. 21 that their location in the province’s prime cattle feeding region puts them in a slightly different market position, but overall tighter supplies will affect prices across Western Canada. “I think that will support barley through the winter,” Pearson said in an interview after a presentation to growers. Barley prices didn’t follow the highs of U.S. corn after this summer’s drought in the United States depleted yield, nor did they match the recent steep drop in U.S. corn markets when high prices discouraged buyers. “Again, we haven’t rallied as hard, but then we’re not going to drop off as hard, either,” he said. “In fact, I think we’ll probably flatten out at, in Saskatchewan, something over $5 (per bushel) and then we’re probably going to see somet h i n g p re t t y c l o s e t o $ 6 i n t h e Lethbridge area through the winter.” Pearson sounded a note of caution about declining livestock numbers in the U.S. and Canada, which don’t bode well for feed grain demand in the next year or two. Narrow margins on the livestock side have also encouraged livestock producers to seek alternative feeds and substitutes for more expensive feed grains. “In terms of your customer, which I guess is a cow or a pig, we’re starting to see some declining numbers and a drought in a time period really when we should start that process of growing livestock numbers again, we’re getting the signals to continue on the current decline, so that’s a little bit scary.” Hot summer weather reduced barley yields in Canada, and Pearson wondered whether Statistics Canada’s 8.5 million tonne figure will prove accurate. If so, that will give Canada a one million tonne carryover, which is considered tight.

The drought-reduced U.S. corn crop and tightening global barley stocks are supporting feed barley prices. However, the upside is limited due to reduced demand from shrinking Canadian and American livestock herds.

A hot feed market has also narrowed the price spread between feed and malting barley. “It’s squeezing up to your malt, and if the maltster doesn’t pay up, then obviously that barley’s going to head off into the feed market,” he said. Pearson said maltsters have indicated they have enough supply now, but there are indications they will be buying again in spring. Drought in Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan has also reduced supplies. Excess rain is affecting crops in Argentina, and dry conditions in western Australia may affect that country’s yield. Those factors tend to support current prices, Pearson said.

Chinese crop imports may be less than forecast MARKET WATCH

D’ARCE McMILLAN

hina shocked the oilseed market a couple of weeks ago when buyers there cancelled 600,000 tonnes of soybean imports. The question is whether that signals a serious slowdown in oilseed demand. Reuters polled 15 analysts and traders for their view of China’s soybean imports. The average of the results was that the Asian giant would increase its soybean imports in 2012-13 by only three percent, down from 15 percent last year and the slowest increase since 2006-07. China’s imports account for 60 percent of the world’s soybean trade. That demand supports the price of all oilseeds, including canola. However, Chinese crushers are running into financial problems. T h e y g o t s p o o k e d b y t h e U. S. drought and rising soybean prices. Worried that prices would climb higher, they started an aggressive buying program. Then, when U.S. farmers actually harvested the crop, yields were not as bad as feared. Soybean prices began to soften. They fell more as it became clear South American farmers were seeding what will likely become a record large soybean crop. Chinese crushers were stuck with commitments to buy expensive soybeans and they started posting heavy losses when the market fell.

China’s crushing industry is already weakened by excess capacity after a rapid crushing plant construction boom in recent years. Capacity grew last year by 10 percent to an estimated 125 million tonnes per year, a huge surplus considering domestic consumption last year was 72 million tonnes. Also, crushers say they expect meal demand from the livestock industry will weaken, as it often does after the Moon Festival holiday in early October. While China’s demand growth for soybeans might have slowed, U.S. soybean exports so far this crop year are good. Exports sales, both those outstanding and those already shipped to date this marketing year, are well ahead of last year at the same point. Total commitments are 27.045 million tonnes. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s target for the year is 36.61million, so there are still 9.56 million tonnes yet to be sold. A drastic drop-off would weigh on oilseed prices and potentially increase the carryout at the end of the crop year. However, it is too soon to know if that will happen. China’s corn conundrum China’s rising oilseed imports have been a critical factor in oilseed markets for about a decade, and corn exporters have been waiting for the day that China can no longer meet its own grain demand. China gave up on supplying its oilseed needs but still has a firm policy on being 95 percent self-sufficient in grain. However, many analysts believe China is incapable of keeping up with

its rising corn needs. A Rabobank report from early this year projects that by 2015-16, China’s corn deficit will rise to 12 to 22 million tonnes from almost no deficit in 2011-12. The growing pork industry is the key driver for growing corn demand. However, the Chinese government seems intent on not losing a grip on its grain self-sufficiency goal, even as it works out trade deals with Argentina and Ukraine to pave the way for corn imports from those countries, ensuring that it won’t be dependent on the United States if it falls behind in the production race. Agriculture was discussed at the recent Communist Party of China congress in Beijing, where leadership was passed on to a new generation. Agriculture minister Han Changfu said the next five to 10 years are a key period for the development of China’s agriculture sector, with production factors such as land, water and labour getting tighter. “Beijing will breed a new type of agricultural player and develop large-scale mechanized farming,” Reuters reported Han as saying. China’s corn yields average only 60 percent of those in the U.S., but they

could catch up if they adopt the latest in seed technology. However, they will have to make the change in conjunction with farm consolidation and a huge push to mechanization to make up for a lack of labour as young rural people head for the jobs, excitement and other opportunities in cities. Xinhua, China’s official news agency, recently ran a story about a farmer in Jilin in northeastern China who joined a research and demonstration project using new seed varieties and technology to boost yields. The farm’s production grew by 50 percent over the previous year. The same story notes China has built more than 3,500 high-yield farms, each one covering about 1,600 acres of cornfields. International seed companies such as Monsanto, DuPont Pioneer and Syngenta are also active in China, seeing potential to sell improved seed varieties. At least one company is optimistic that China can remain self-sufficient by adopting new technology. “My view is that within the next seven to 10 years the gap in terms of demand and supply will probably be reduced to close to zero if the technology can reach the farmer,” Diego Diz, China corn marketing lead for Monsanto, told Reuters. It looks like China’s rural population faces a total transformation in the coming decade. Aside from discussions about technology, it means a jarring shift in the country’s agrarian culture. Beijing will need a deft hand to avoid social unrest. Follow D’Arce McMillan on Twitter @darcemcmillan.

Australian wheat farmers have been hit by a double whammy of disappointing yields and poor protein levels, but don’t expect that to bolster protein spreads in North America, says a market analyst. The damage caused by drought in Western Australia has been well documented. The U.S. Department of Agriculture is forecasting 21 million tonnes of wheat production, down from last year’s 29.5 million tonne crop. However, there has been little market chatter about the quality of the Australian crop. The country’s top quality wheat is grown in southern Queensland and northern New South Wales, two states in eastern Australia where drought hasn’t been the problem. “They got water and rain at the wrong time and that did reduce their protein,” said Neil Townsend, director of CWB Market Research. Newspaper reports out of Australia confirm that the supply of top quality wheat from the world’s second largest wheat exporting nation will be tight. Townsend said that might send more business Canada’s way, but Australia’s restricted supplies will be more than offset by the glut of high protein wheat in North America. “It doesn’t look like there’s going to be quite enough crunch to send the prices spiraling,” he said. Canada’s 2012 crop had about average protein content, but the U.S. crop was far better than usual. The U.S. hard red winter wheat crop had an average protein level of 12.6 percent, up from the five-year average of 12 percent. As well, the hard red spring crop had an average of 14.7 percent, up from the five-year average of 14.1 percent. Townsend said the market appears to be more focused on the ample supplies of high protein wheat in the United States than it is on the deficit in Australia. He doesn’t see the spread between Minneapolis and Chicago wheat widening in the coming months. “If anything, that’s just going to get more narrow as we go along because the perception is there’s lots of protein in North America,” he said. That market attitude is likely to be bolstered by early signs of another drought in the hard red winter wheat growing region of the U.S. The crop is in the worst shape heading into dormancy since crop condition ratings first started in 1986. More hot and dry weather is on the way, according to forecasters. A dry growing season would likely result in another high protein U.S. winter wheat crop. “I don’t see much upside for the protein right now,” said Townsend.

CORN, SOYBEANS | PRICE SPREAD

Corn price rises as U.S. export prospects improve Beans fill Brazil, Argentine ports | Rain delays seeding and may reduce Argentina’s corn acres CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — U.S. corn prices are faring better than those for soybeans, with the gap between the two narrowing from about $9.50 per bushel in September, the widest in more than four years, to about $6.80 now. Expectations are for corn to continue closing the spread with soybeans as export demand picks up because of shrinking supplies of corn in South America and feed wheat in Europe. The point was underscored in the weekly export sales report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Nov. 23. Corn sales totalled 958,600 tonnes, the highest in 10 weeks. Japan, the world’s largest importer of corn, has been buying cheaper

feed from alternative sources, but it recently bought 646,500 tonnes of corn from the United States, the largest weekly purchase in nearly two years. Traders saw Japan’s purchase as a sign U.S. corn was becoming more competitive in the global market as Argentina runs low on supplies and Black Sea suppliers such as Ukraine also run out of grain to export. Grain markets hit record highs this summer as the worst drought in half a century devastated U.S. crops However, recent USDA reports showed that timely rain in August benefitted soybean production. While Januar y soybeans have tumbled 21 percent from their record high of $17.94 3/4 per bushel set Sept. 4, December corn futures

have fallen 12 percent from their record high of $8.43 3/4 per bu. Aug 10. “If you are a fund manager looking at the grain sector to get more bang for your buck, you might like the corn market,” said grain analyst Ken Smithmier of the Hightower Report in Chicago. “Traders have their eyes on the spread. “There is more concern about corn production in South America than beans.” Traders looking to confirm corn’s ascendancy will also watch the amount of corn used to make ethanol and livestock feed demand. Months of incessant rain in Argentina, the world’s second largest corn exporter after the U.S., have delayed seeding, leading the government to

lower planted area estimate to 11.6 million acres from 12.3 million. About 50 percent of the corn crop had been planted, compared with 62 percent at the same time last year. Traders view the weather as being generally favourable for a bumper harvest of soybean in Argentina and Brazil, the world’s second and third largest exporters, respectively. Karl Setzer, a commodity trading adviser and market analyst with MaxYield Cooperative in West Bend, Iowa, said the rain delays in Argentina could sift acres from corn into soybeans. Analysts expect U.S. corn exports will strengthen early in 2013 as Argentina and Brazil focus on shipping their freshly harvested soybeans across the globe.

Feedlots are current in their marketing and market-ready supply should tighten. That will likely cause a standoff this week with packers who have negative margins.

34 cents and heifers fell 44 cents. Calves 300-500 pounds fell $1-$2 per cwt. while short keep yearlings traded steady. Pre-sorted and one owner packages of replacement quality heifers fetched a premium. Choice packages of heifers are selling comparable with steers. Eastern Canadian buyer support was noted, with good interest in fresh weaned and pre-conditioned calves. Yearlings held a slight price advantage over similar weight calves born in January and February. Stronger cattle futures caused weaker basis levels, with the 750 lb. steer basis now the weakest since June 9. The week’s auction volume was 87,043, up 27 percent. Weekly feeder exports to Nov. 10 totalled 1,353, down 36 percent. Pre-conditioned calves should fetch a premium over fresh-weaned calves. The spread between 900 lb. and heavier steers and heifers could narrow as more replacement quality open heifers are offered.

U.S. beef demand improved as the disruptions from Hurricane Sandy on the East Coast were cleaned up. Canadian fed steers averaged $115.11 per hundredweight, up $2.18, and heifers averaged $115.57, up $1.77. The week’s weighted average price for steers and heifers was the second highest recorded this year. Dressed steer prices were up about $5 at $196 per cwt. delivered. Light Saskatchewan heifer trade was reported with prices comparable to Alberta. U.S. buyers procured a handful of Canadian cattle at $200 US per cwt. Sales volume totalled 13,742 head, down 17 percent from the week before. The weekly Alberta cash to futures basis narrowed slightly to -$11.59 from -$11.97. Weekly fed cattle exports to Nov. 10 fell nine percent to 12,491 head.

COW PRICES UP A counter seasonal increase in butcher cow value pushed prices to the highest point since early October. Despite increasing supplies, butcher cows rose 50 cents per cwt. D1, D2 cows were $60-$74 to average $66.92 and D3 cows were $54-$64 to average $59.25. Western Canadian D1, D2 cows again fetched a premium over eastern Canadian values. Rail bids were generally $1 higher at $130-$135. Butcher bull quality has been mixed and prices were nearly $2 lower and average values are now at annual lows. Non-fed exports to Nov. 10 totalled 7,787, the largest since January 2010.

FEEDERS EDGE LOWER The Canfax average steer price fell

U.S. Choice and Select cut-out values traded $1.96 and $1.24 higher, respectively. The holiday-shortened week in the U.S. reduced beef production and demand returned to normal on the East Coast. Retailers are buying their Christmas needs. Following sharply lower prices the

week before, Canadian cut-out values for the week ending Nov. 16 rose $2-$3.70 per cwt.

WP LIVESTOCK REPORT HOG PRICES FIRM Holiday packer closures in the United States reduced the pork volume in the pipeline. Market-ready hog supply is tightening after being high through most of the fall and packers will have to pay up to get supply needed for December. Packer operating margins were positive. Data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture showed that October slaughter posted a record for any month as producers culled herds to avoid feeding high price corn. Pork production in October was a record, up nine percent over the same month last year. Iowa-southern Minnesota hogs delivered at packing plants were $57.50 US per hundredweight Nov. 23, about steady with $57 Nov. 16. The U.S. composite pork carcass cut-out value was $81.92 Nov. 23, down from $82.23 on Nov. 16.

U.S. slaughter for the week, which was shortened by U.S. Thanksgiving, fell to 2.07 million from 2.37 million the week before. It was steady with 2.07 million a year ago.

BISON STEADY The Canadian Bison Association said Grade A bulls in the desirable weight range sold up to $3.85 Cdn. per pound hot hanging weight. Grade A heifers sold at prices up to $3.75. Those outside the desirable weight range were discounted. In the live market in light trade, yearlings were mostly $1.80-$2.10.

HEAVY LAMB PRICES FALL Beaver Hill Auction in Tofield, Alta., reported 1,677 sheep and 236 goats sold Nov. 19. Wool lambs lighter than 70 lb. were $122-$140 per cwt., 70 to 85 lb. were

$115-$135, 86 to 105 lb. were $110$125 and 106 lb. and heavier were $100-$114. Wool rams were $50-$70 per cwt. Cull ewes were $43-$62 and bred ewes were $120-$170 per head. Hair lambs lighter than 70 lb. were $110-$135 per cwt., 70 to 85 lb. were $110-$125, 86 to 105 lb. were $100$115 and 106 lb. and heavier were $90-$100. Hair rams were $45-$72 per cwt. Cull ewes were $45-$65. Good kid goats lighter than 50 lb. were $145-$195. Those heavier than 50 lb. were $150-$200 per cwt. Nannies were $45-$70 per cwt. Billies were $120-$140. Ontario Stockyards Inc. reported 1,712 sheep and lambs and 107 goats traded Nov. 19. All well-fed lightweight lambs sold steady. Heavy lambs opened barely steady to $5 cwt. lower and closed $15-$20 cwt. lower. Sheep traded $5-$7 cwt. down. Goats sold barely steady.

GRAIN SYMPOSIUM | INDUSTRY CHANGES

Anti-CWB forces celebrate changes Improved prices | No downside seen in transition BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Prairie grain farmers opposed to the Canadian Wheat Board single desk were in Ottawa last week to party like it was 1942, before the CWB monopoly took effect. At a national grain symposium and before the House of Commons agriculture committee, they said transition from the Aug. 1 end of the single desk has gone as well as could be hoped. Prices are at record levels, deliveries for the first quarter of the crop year are well above normal and even rail service seems to have improved. “This change in the industry … is one of those events that most of us in our careers will only see once,” Cargill Canada president Len Penner told a grain symposium organized by Grain G row e rs o f Ca na d a an d Canada Grains Council Nov. 21. Cherilyn Nagel from Mossbank, Sask., a former president of the Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association and a long-time opponent of the monopoly, said many of the critics’ predictions did not happen. There was not a flood of grain across the U. S. border, the border did not close and the delivery and transportation systems have been working well. “Overall, transition to the open market has gone well, from where I sit,” she said. Ian White, president of CWB, concurred. “It has been extremely smooth,” he said. “Some farmers are still confused about the new system but generally, I think they are getting used to it.” No farmers who fought the end of the CWB single desk were invited to speak or made any argument from the audience. White said in an interview that high commodity prices unrelated to the

end of the monopoly undoubtedly helped smooth the transition. “If there had been low prices, I can’t say what would have happened and that story is yet to be told (when prices inevitably decline in future).” He said the board will continue to work “to find its place in the industry.” That includes working on its proposals about how to privatize the board, which have to be presented to the agriculture minister within four years. He said it is a priority and “we don’t want to leave it to the last minute,” suggesting a proposal could be ready well before the deadline and perhaps within two years. He predicted it will be “somewhere between” a recommendation that the board evolve into a co-operative or be sold to another company. White, an Australian hired in 2008 by to lead the CWB after the Conservative government fired the previous chief executive officer for resisting plans to end the monopoly, said he would like to stay on “to see the job done.” That would mean having a third appointment from the government in 2014 when his current three-year term expires. “I want to stay until I am sure the CWB is on the right footing,” he said. White said he has his Canadian residency papers. “I might even apply for citizenship.” Meanwhile, Alberta barley producer Brian Otto, chair of the Barley Council of Canada Working Group and an opponent of the CWB single desk, told Commons agriculture committee MPs Nov. 20 the end of the monopoly has put more money into farmers’ pockets, has converted some CWB supporters into open market supporters and even seems to have coincided with better rail service. “We have moved more grain this year than we have in the past 10 years,” he said.

NATIONAL FARMERS UNION | CO-OPERATIVES

Co-ops help balance power in agriculture systems: NFU 43rd annual convention | Trade agreements, dismantling of co-ops seen as threats to farmers’ ability to make a fair living BY ROBIN BOOKER SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Co-ops are still important organizing structures, especially considering the government’s trend of dismantling the regulatory processes and institutions that balance power relations in the agriculture industry, said Terry Boehm, National Farmers Union president. An example of the system being pulled apart is the Canadian Grain Commission coming under Agriculture Canada’s Administrative Monetary Penalties Act, meaning it will no longer be a quasi-independent institution, Boehm said in his opening address at the 43rd annual NFU convention in Saskatoon. “It became a department of the ministry of agriculture, as a function

of that act, and the minister has direct control,” Boehm said. “They have to put their priorities and plans before the minister before they proceed, whereas in the past they would just have to report.” The grain commission has provided a quality control system for a century, which would catch contaminated grain shipments going to port from the country elevator system. Boehm said it was constructed to work somewhat independently for a reason, and that putting it under the oversight of Agriculture Canada will lead to the end of inward inspection, and threaten Canada’s international reputation of reliable high-quality grain. Boehm said a significant problem in this country is something called regulatory capture: civil servants and

government have been captured by those with wealth and the ability to lobby constantly so that they can continue to construct regulations and laws that favour the wealthy and the powerful. “We have compartments of our governments that are identifying completely with the very parties they should be regulating to ensure there is a fair and economically just system operating for farmers or other citizens,” Boehm said Nov. 22. Co-ops, because they are self-built and self-controlled through a democratic process, are not easily dismantled and coerced by groups trying to extract as much as possible from farmers. Another threat against farmers’ ability to make a fair living are the trade agreements the government is

signing, including the Canada-China Investment treaty. “The terms of this agreement, without adequate debate and consultation or even information, are to last for 15 years at a minimum. But any arrangement that had been conducted under the terms of that agreement would continue for an additional 15 years,” Boehm said. “This government has committed us to something that allows access to our natural resources, that protects the largest investors in the world for 31 years less a day.” Boehm said these trade agreements strangle the ability to act as citizens and affect how governments behave. “This is a sobering statement for many of us who will probably close out our lifetimes within the terms of

this agreement, and this is done with 21 days of notice to the Parliament of Canada.” The NFU’s annual convention was titled Co-ops: An Exercise in Democracy. Boehm said the staggering concentration of wealth and resources promoted by laws, and threats to Canadian sovereignty from international trade agreements, means the power created by co-ops is essential for farmers to keep some control over their livelihoods. “It’s critically important at this point in time that we revisit the building of co-operatives, their value and their democratic structures and the positive attributes they bring to us in our ability to organize and to do things collectively in a way that benefits all of is in society that participate in them,” Boehm said.

Gov’t urged to pay Ag Canada debates GM threshold for ‘public good’

Lobby wants Ottawa to pay 25 percent of CGC expenses STORIES BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Representatives of the grain and oilseed sectors say they plan to resist Canadian Grain Commission proposals this month to sharply raise user fees. They will lobby for the government to pick up a larger share of commission costs because it provides a “public good.” They will also argue for a reduction in mandatory services that the commission still plans to provide in future. Fewer mandatory services would lead to lower farmer costs. Rick Istead, general manager of the Alberta Wheat Commission, told the House of Commons agriculture committee Nov. 20 that streamlining and trimming commission functions and costs is welcome, but the proposed transfer of costs to farmers is too high. “Our organization intends to respond to the proposed fee increases, which we feel are excessive,” he told MPs. “I think we need to go back and really challenge the grain commission on what value-added services are really necessary in this changed market for marketing wheat and barley.” At a grain industry symposium a few blocks from Parliament Hill Nov. 21, Marlene Caskey, a director of the Canadian Canola Growers Association, said her members appreciate the proposed Canada Grain Act reforms. However, she said the government is shifting too much of the funding responsibility to producers. The Conservatives are proposing that $5.45 million of the commission’s annual expenses be considered the cost of “public goods” to be picked up by federal funds. “That is nine percent of the grain commission budget,” Caskey said. “And as CGC costs decrease, it will be less. The public goods share should be 25 percent going forward.” Under federal budget legislation that comes before the House of Commons for final debate this week, the government is ending some grain commission services that it says are redundant. The cuts will take $20 million out of system costs. Inward inspection will be ended and a grain trader bonding system will be transformed into an insurance system that will require less commission bureaucracy to administer. Beginning Aug. 1, 2013, the commission will be expected to pay most of its own way through reduced costs and increased fee-for-service revenue. It means that tens of millions of dollars in costs will be downloaded onto producers. Farmer fees have been frozen for two decades as commission costs grew and the need for annual federal subsidies to pay the bills escalated. The commission is holding consultations on its fee increase proposals through November, and final regulations on the new fee structure are expected to be completed and published by spring. Critics of what they call the govern-

ment deregulation program have denounced the proposed grain commission service cuts and realignment as a reduction in overseeing and certifying the quality and safety of Canadian grain. At the grain symposium last week, which was organized by Grain Growers of Canada and the Canada Grain Council, grain commission chief commissioner Elwin Hermanson said there will be no reduction in quality control. The services being cut are not essential, but if farmers want them to continue they can hire private providers or pay the commission a fee to do the work. Hermanson said he expects the government will bring in the second phase of reform in the new year.

Canada is leading an international effort to create rules for dealing with low-level unintended and unapproved GMO contamination in commodity shipments, but it is also edging toward creating its own standards. A recommendation to ministers on an appropriate Canadian policy to deal with low-level presence in imported shipments into Canada could be ready sometime next year, a senior bureaucrat involved in the process said last week. “It is an internal process and we are proceeding toward a recommendation,” Emilie Bergeron, acting deputy director of Agriculture Canada’s technical trade policy division, said Nov. 21 after a speech to an annual grain symposium in Ottawa. “The objective is to minimize the disruption of trade and to create more predictability.” She said options still on the table are whether to set the threshold level at 0.1 or 0.2 percent content in a shipment. A cross-departmental government group has been working on a proposed policy for months. It includes representatives from Agriculture Canada, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, Canadian Grain Commission, Environment Canada, Health Canada and the foreign affairs and international trade department. She said that under the developing

JIM EVERSON CANOLA COUNCIL OF CANADA

policy proposal, detection of lowlevel presence would trigger a government assessment of whether the unauthorized GM content “is unlikely to pose a risk to human or animal health or the environment.” For the past several years, Canada has been leading an international effort that now includes 14 exporting and importing countries to develop international rules on the issue. Canada’s lack of policy has been noted in the debate, at home and abroad. “If we can develop and implement a policy, I think we can be an example to the world,” Bergeron told reporters after her speech to the symposium organized by the Canada Grains Council and Grain Growers of Canada. Low-level presence has become a significant issue for commodity exporters. Commodity shipments that contain minuscule traces of GMOs from

the residue of a previous shipment may be blocked at import ports. At a House of Commons agriculture committee meeting Nov. 20, Canola Council of Canada vicepresident Jim Everson offered an example of the damage the lack of rules and zero tolerance can cause to exporters. He told the story of a shipload of soybeans that was found at port to have traces of GM corn that had not been approved in the importing market. “It’s unintentionally there,” he said. “It’s picked up because of air around a port. And that stopped a vessel worth millions, some (shipments) are worth $20 million or $25 million, for no good reason.” He said no GM product is shipped if it has not been approved using international scientific standards in at least one country, so these traces are not from rogue GM products but traces from a product not approved for sale in the importing country. Canadian flax exporters felt the sting of that when unapproved traces of a withdrawn GM variety, Triffid, showed up in shipments several years ago, closing a number of borders. Bergeron said Canada’s push on an international and domestic low-level presence policy was underway long before the Triffid incident, “but it did concentrate our minds as a real live example.”

Jon Dwyer is defying conventional wisdom in the biodiesel industry by using an unusual feedstock to fuel a plant in an unusual location. “A lot of people have told us that what we’re doing is crazy, but crazy makes money. You can’t do the same thing everybody else is doing,” said the chief executive officer of Flax Energy. The company opened a biodiesel plant in downtown Toronto in 2012 that processes western Canadian flax into biodiesel, edible oil, flour and animal feed. “We wanted to prove that you can have an agricultural input in the downtown core of the largest city in the country, and we’ve successfully done that,” he said. One of the goals of the project is to help bridge the substantial divide between Toronto’s business community and Canadian farmers. “The Bay Street guys, they just simply don’t know. All they think about is mining and I believe there’s a lot of money and a lot of success to be had with Canadian agriculture.” Dwyer anticipates Flax Energy will produce 3.2 million litres of biodiesel and another 120,000 litres of food grade flax oil in 2013. The production of that amount of fuel and oil will require 10,000 tonnes of brown and golden flax, most of which will be bought from Manitoba suppliers. The company has purchased flax from grain companies, but it wants to eliminate the middleman where possible. “We want to get in touch directly with flax growers themselves. We want to be on the ground and purchasing direct as opposed to purchasing as a second party,” said Dwyer. Brown flax is used when the company wants to produce an omega 3 animal feed sold to the horse, cattle, aquaculture and pet food industries. It switches to golden flax when it wants to produce omega 3 flour for the baking and pasta industries.

The plant plans to produce 1,600 tonnes of feed and 612 tonnes of flour in 2013. The biodiesel it produces is sold to municipal trucking fleets in Ontario and will soon be used by a high profile customer. “We’re going to be powering the Rogers Centre here in Toronto, which is the old SkyDome,” Dwyer said. “All their trucks are going to run on our fuel.”

It is expensive to truck flax from rural Manitoba to the plant in Toronto. The company is trying to reduce that expense by encouraging production closer to home. Flax Energy owns a 1,200 acre farm in Hamilton that supplies the plant with golden flax. The difficult 2012 growing season was ideal for proving to Ontario growers that they can add flax to their rotations. “It was like 33 C. It was hot when it shouldn’t have been. It was raining when it shouldn’t have rained and our flax grew fine. It was beautiful,” said Dwyer. “It stood up to the feeds that we’re getting from out west.” However, Flax Energy must first focus on reaching its Toronto plant’s annual capacity of 16.44 million litres of biodiesel.

He is also attempting to convince the City of Toronto to run its buses on the locally produced biodiesel. “They’re buying the fuel from the United States and we’re right down the street,” said Dwyer. The company has ambitious plans to expand beyond the Toronto plant and the 500,000 litre pilot plant it operates in Port Colborne, Ont., which makes biodiesel out of waste vegetable oil. Those plans include building a facility in Jamaica and one in Western Canada. “We are looking at purchasing land in the Manitoba area, and we do want to open a facility out there because we just think that’s going to help us eliminate a lot of the externalities associated with being in the flax business but not necessarily in direct flax country,” said Dwyer.

GRAIN ELEVATOR | CONSTRUCTION

Biggar, Sask., elevator project expected to start in new year BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Construction is expected to begin in early 2013 on a new high-throughput grain elevator near Biggar, Sask., about an hour west of Saskatoon. The Parrish & Heimbecker facility

will have a total capacity of 40,000 tonnes, including 10,000 tonnes of private condo space. P & H customer service manager Jim Vancha said titled condo space will be sold to farmers in 2,500 bushel units. About two-thirds of available condo space has already been sold, he added.

Construction of the elevator is scheduled for completion by late next year with the first deliveries slated for late fall of 2013. When the new facility opens, P & H will close an older facility located in Saskatoon. The facility will be located on Cana-

dian National Railway’s main line. The site will also include a crop inputs shed that is already under construction and is expected to begin selling crop inputs in the next few months. Grain Millers, Inc., an American company with Canadian milling

operations based at Yorkton, Sask., will also partner in the Biggar facility. It will build a 7,500 tonne steel annex on the site, bringing total capacity to 47,500 tonnes. The Minnesota based company will use the P & H facility to receive specialty crops, including organic oats.

FOOD MAKING | GLUTEN FREE

Celiac sufferer’s plan to develop tasty food creates business THE BOTTOM LINE It’s so easy to be distracted if you don’t have a plan, a clear focus, and an end goal. BRENDA VANDUINKERKEN DUINKERKEN FOODS

GLENN CHEATER

ailure was never an option for Brenda vanDuinkerken. Eleven years ago, the Prince Edward Island businessperson set out to do what many before had tried, and failed, to accomplish: create tasty gluten-free food. She succeeded, and the story of Duinkerken Foods shows what can be accomplished with determination and a strong business plan. VanDuinkerken was 35 when, in 1994, she was diagnosed with celiac disease, a condition in which gluten in wheat, barley and rye damages the lining of the small intestine and hampers its ability to absorb nutrients. The diagnosis was a shock, and so was the remedy. “You don’t realize how bad glutenfree foods taste until you eat them,” she said. “I missed bread the most. The products on the market didn’t have the taste or texture of real bread and you had to toast it just to make it palatable.”

After three years of testing and baking, Brenda vanDuinkerken’s glutenfree products are in major grocery stores. | FILE PHOTO Rather than eat “cardboard,” vanDuinkerken tried to avoid bread and baked goods altogether. “I tried but I couldn’t stay on a gluten-free diet,” she said. “By 2001, my health had hit rock bottom. I was down to 94 pounds (30 lb. below normal) and naturally I was feeling pretty lousy. So I decided I would make gluten-free products that were so good people would be wowed when they tried them.” How she went about that holds a valuable lesson for any farm manager facing a seemingly insurmountable problem. Take away the big three bread grains — oats are also taboo for most celiacs — and you’re left making flour from potatoes, rice and tapioca, which are hardly a baker’s dream ingredients. However, vanDuinkerken decided she would explore every possibility

that might, even in a small way, get her closer to her goal. “For three years I just kept baking,” she says. “I’m sure I baked a thousand or more loaves of bread. And with a lot of it, you’d take one bite and then it was into the garbage. But I was making progress and that encouraged me to keep going.” Baking wasn’t the only thing on her to-do list. VanDuinkerken and husband Wayne owned a seafood export business, and while on business trips in North America and Europe she visited ingredient makers to see their manufacturing processes first-hand. She went to trade shows, consulted nutritionists, dietitians, bakers and other experts, and collected data on the buying habits of gluten-free consumers and the overall market. “Right from Day 1, we had a plan,”

she said. “That’s what really keeps you going. Our goal was to make gluten-free products taste good and that was our focus all the time.” Step by step, she got closer to her goal. She discovered that some manufacturing processes produced flour that had a better texture when baked into bread. She learned how to adjust moisture levels so bread, muffins and cookies weren’t crumbly. She found ways to add vitamins and minerals to fortify her products. It was three years before the vanDuinkerkens were confident enough to sell their seafood business and launch their new company. Within two years, most major Canadian grocery chains were selling her products, and they were also distributed south of the border on Walmart’s U.S. website. Sales were soaring. “We wanted to be unique and we wanted to wow our customers, and that’s what we’ve done,” says vanDuinkerken. “But it all comes back to the plan. It’s so easy to be distracted if

you don’t have a plan, a clear focus, and an end goal.” We all know what dogged effort can accomplish, but it’s easy to be intimidated when confronted with a major challenge. Many farmers face that situation. Given today’s cost of land and equipment, how could you possibly double in size? How can a young farmer get started without a big inheritance? If you’re looking for change, how do you go about leaving the kind of production you’ve done all your life to take up an entirely new type of farming? Those are daunting undertakings, but no more than what vanDuinkerken faced. She said there were other keys to her success, including keeping debt to a minimum and setting realistic revenue targets. However, the key ingredient in her baking business was a willingness to explore every available option and never stop searching for new ones. “Every time we tried a new flour, we didn’t know what the end result would be,” vanDuinkerken said. “ Bu t I w a s d e t e r m i n e d a n d I believed that if I stuck with it, I would see results.” Archived columns from this series can be found at www.fcc-fac.ca/learning.

DEERE & CO. | FINANCIAL RESULTS

High dollar, expenses bite into Deere earnings CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — Deere & Co., the world’s largest farm equipment maker, has reported a weakerthan-expected quarterly profit as higher manufacturing costs and other expenses cut into earnings and a strong dollar reduced the value of international sales. Deere forecast higher sales and earnings for its new fiscal year last week, but its share price fell following release of the results because company profit missed Wall Street estimates. “Expectations were high coming into this report,” said JPMorgan analyst Ann Duignan. Overhead costs and spending on research and development rose by $100 million from the previous quarter, Duignan said in a note to clients. R & D expenses were up 14 percent year over year, while selling, administrative and other costs rose nine percent, partly because of increased incentive compensation, according to a company presentation. Although expenses are rising faster than inflation, sales have grown even faster, and the company needs to add staff to support higher sales volumes, said investor communications executive Susan Karlix. “We are very mindful of our ex-

penses,” she said. Net income rose to $687.6 million, or $1.75 per share, in the fourth quarter ended Oct. 31 from $669.6 million, or $1.62 per share, a year earlier. The result missed the analysts’ average estimate by 13 cents a share, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/ E/S. Sales rose 14 percent to $9.79 billion, with equipment operations contributing $9.05 billion. Analysts expected sales of $8.85 billion. Stronger machinery sales in North America and higher prices offset weaker international demand and the negative impact of currency fluctuations. Deere said it expected flat North American demand for farm equipment in fiscal 2013 after a strong 2012. Industry sales in euro zone countries will be flat to down slightly, while soft Indian and Chinese economies will keep demand flat there as well. The company expects the strongest demand to come from South America next year, reflecting a commodities boom. Overall, Deere equipment sales are expected to rise five percent in fiscal 2013, with earnings increasing to $3.2 billion from $3.07 billion in 2012, the company said.
