Is it the weather? The pioneer mentality? Whatever the personalityforming elements, we’re one amazing bunch, and in this edition of The Western Producer, we are celebrating some of the people who embody the western ethic.

We have adopted the name of this edition from a magazine the Producer published for years, which contained everything from profiles to columns to crossword puzzles.

Western People was populated with folks of all ages who pursued all endeavours, from figure skating to novel-writing, gardening to rodeo.

This edition is a little different from the original Western People. We’ve taken a more agricultural angle, in keeping with the Producer’s general approach to coverage.

We’ve talked to scientists and foodies, farm group leaders and politicians, an artist with a distinctly farm-based sentiment and one of the world’s leading experts in water. All of our profile subjects have done something amazing, are doing something amazing and likely will do something amazing in the future. All of them are linked to agriculture, in a reasonably direct way.

We decided it was a great time to profile western people worth knowing. The people on these pages make an impact. Many of them are

taking agriculture into a future which, while never certain, looks brighter than ever before.

This edition follows a year of significant change in Canadian agriculture, particularly western Canadian agriculture. Some of our profile subjects reflect those changes in what they do and how they’re doing it.

If you read them all, you’ll get the picture. This industry of yours is fascinating, ever-changing, technologically challenging and one of the most interesting places to be right now.

We also chose to profile people who are driving the industry because we will be there with them, covering agriculture for years to come.

We certainly have the experience.

In 2013, The Western Producer will celebrate 90 years of publication.

We decided it was a great time to profile western people worth knowing. The people on these pages make an impact. Many of them are taking agriculture into a future which, while never certain, looks brighter than ever before.

We may be getting older, but we are definitely getting better. We are bigger, prettier and faster (online) than we have ever been. We have an incredible, experienced, ridiculously hard-working team. We have informed, engaged and well-trained journalists who tell your stories and provide important information every day and every week. We love what we do, and we love this industry.

We’re proud of our history and excited about our future — just like you are.

Please enjoy this issue. We don’t pretend for a moment that we caught every mover and shaker in agriculture — far from it — but we do offer you a great cross-section, an indication of who is out there, working hard. That’s what western people do.

KEN COLES | FARMING SMARTER ASSOCIATION

Alberta man moves from chemistry lab to farm field

» The Farming Smarter Association

tackles many projects, from testing herbicide efficacy during night spraying to seeding into snow.

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

K

en Coles sometimes sprays crops in the dark of night. Sometimes he seeds crops into snow-covered fields.

Sometimes he tweets field observations via @killerkencoles. And he always enjoys his work.

Coles is a farm boy who didn’t grow up on a farm and a data manager who can’t remember numbers.

And yet, in his work as general manager of the Lethbridge-based Farming Smarter Association, it’s part of a job he seems tailor-made to do.

Farming Smarter was formed from the combination of the Southern Applied Research Association (SARA) and the Southern Alberta Conservation Association. It undertakes research projects designed

to benefit farmers.

Determining the focus, scope and duration of those projects is Coles’ job, which he does with the help of five or six full-time staff and a bevy of summer students. A board of directors and many corporate partners back him up.

And that’s why he sometimes sprays crops at night. It’s research into the best time to spray for maximum herbicide efficacy. And seeding into snow? Well, that has been a research project, but it has also been a necessity on occasion because of southern Alberta’s volatile weather.

“I still don’t know what I’m going to do when I grow up, but I do like what I’m doing,” says Coles.

The son of an RCMP officer and a nurse, Coles lived in various towns as a youth but always considered his grandfather’s farm near Coaldale, Alta., as home base. Eventually the family moved there, and Coles now farms his grandfather’s and his father’s land.

With a degree in chemistry from the University of Lethbridge, Coles worked for Alberta Wheat Pool and

for a soil testing lab before signing on as farm manager at the Monsanto research site near Coalhurst, Alta.

“Quite honestly, I loved the job. It was a lot of fun. I got to work on Roundup Ready wheat back then when they were trying to develop it,” he said.

“It ended up being kind of the perfect job because we worked with a team across the country on the research and development side. It was a really good work environment.

They had a lot of resources.”

That’s where Coles got a taste for organizing and running research plot and project tours, and he found he liked it.

T h e c o m p a n y s hu t d ow n t h e research farm and his job along with it, but not before he had decided to get his masters degree in environment and management from Royal Roads University in Victoria.

“I was the one redneck from Alberta, out there with a bunch of tree huggers from B.C., basically, and it was a great opportunity to see a lot of different perspectives and talk about agriculture in a positive light.”

Coles got a job with Agriculture

Canada but found he missed the contact with producers. When a job came open with SARA, he took the leap.

“I guess my adventurous side said, ‘what the heck, let’s go for it,’ and I haven’t looked back since,” said Coles, who is now five years into his current job.

As well as envisioning, planning and orchestrating research projects, he and his team also organize 15 to 20 events each year to show farmers their progress and results. These range from plot and field tours to schools that explore crop disease, insects and chemical use.

Core funding, which is 25 percent of the budget, comes from the provincial government. The rest is project related and comes from the provincial and federal governments and from corporate partners.

“It’s been challenging with growing pains, but every year we’ve grown a little bit and its getting better and better,” said Coles.

The association’s budget has doubled every year for the last five years as it expands its projects. It has also had to add staff.

Coles sees the group as filling a void in agriculture extension that was once filled by Alberta Agriculture. However, he also sees it as a two-way street.

“We make sure, because it is our job to work for farmers, that we’re listening to them,” he said.

“It’s not just about broadcasting information. It’s about listening, too.”

Connections with provincial and federal researchers are also vital to Farming Smarter’s success, and Coles has those. He speaks highly of researchers and also of his staff.

“We can’t afford to have people that are not awesome,” he said.

By offering competitive pay and reasonable working conditions, that goal appears to be met.

“We don’t work a ton of overtime.

That’s part of our strategy and part of getting the right people in place who can get the job done.”

Coles said pride in the association’s accomplishments and being able to see the fruits of his labours are the best things about his work. He clearly enjoys conversations and rapport with farmers during field days and knows the regulars by name.

“Certainly the events are fun because it’s an opportunity to show off the work that’s being done,” he said.

“You kind of get rewarded if somebody picks something up. They’re social events, let’s not kid ourselves.

The stuff that we’re doing, it sort of sparks the conversation a bit.”

Coles believes Canadian agriculture has a bright future, though he sees a widening divide between rural and urban dwellers that concerns him. He thinks his association might be able to play a bridging role, though he’s not yet sure how.

But of more immediate concern is reduced government funding and emphasis on agricultural research, which can marginalize farm concerns.

It also leads to more reliance on corporate funding. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, he said, but it does result in a different focus.

“I think there’s some real issues in the overall funding structures of research in Canada right now and we are seeing some changes, but yes, researchers are forced to chase money. There’s no doubt about it.”

I think there’s some real issues in the overall funding structures of research in Canada right now and we are seeing some changes, but yes, researchers are forced to chase money.

There’s no doubt about it.

My favourite story in Western People wasn’t even a story in Western People.

Not exactly.

It was a letter to the editor (me), but the little magazine didn’t publish letters to the editor. It was little, you see.

I believe I already said that.

Anyway, this letter arrived one fine day from a gentleman in Kimberley, B.C. I’ll leave his name out of this tale.

When his dad died, he says, the government moved him and his brother into a foster home in Saskatchewan. There they were given “medicals” that revealed each had curvature of the spine. It was decided that the only good spine is a straight spine, so a doctor was called in to supervise the “correction.”

“I was set on a high stool ‘Uncle’ used for hair cutting, on the barn floor, and two cords padded with newspaper were strung from [the] inside curve side (left) and tied off to the barn wall. Then a cord was run from the right side (outside of the curve) again padded with newspaper, and doubled off and tied to the other side of the barn.

“I was given several drinks of whis-

ky and Uncle put a stick through the double cords and started winding them up. The pain was real bad, and I screamed, but he kept on winding . . . the old country doctor watching.”

Meanwhile, his “aunt” was busy making body casts with burlap and old newspapers filled with wet plaster of paris, with cords sewn in so that the front and back sections could be tied together.

“Uncle continued to wind up the cords, I continued to scream despite the whisky, and the old doctor kept saying, ‘more … more.’ ” Then the two boys were fitted with their new straitjackets. “The cast set quickly, and the cords were cut where they came out of the plaster, and I staggered away to lay in the sun.

My brother was next.… We laid out in the warm grass and cried all night.

The casts were left on for nine months.”

Many years later the man discovered through X-rays that this stretching exercise in the barn had given him six or more broken ribs.

I can extract several morals from this spine-tingling tale of prairie life.

One is that doctors, even “old country” doctors, are not the gods we would like them to be. Another is that whisky is not morphine.

Another is that if you have your spine straightened in a Saskatchewan barn, you have every right to move to Kimberley, B.C. And finally, if you want to flirt with the girls at your school, living in a body cast for nine months is not a good opening move.

HOWARD WHEATER | GLOBAL INSTITUTE FOR WATER SECURITY, UNIVERSITY OF SASKATCHEWAN

When it comes to water issues, How

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

T

he task of understanding the almost inexhaustible list of issues related to one of the world’s most valuable commodities might seem like a nearly impossible mission.

But for world-renowned researcher Howard Wheater, understanding water is an occupation that the world can ill afford to ignore.

With limited availability and ever-increasing demands from industry, agriculture and a rapidly growing global population, water is quite literally the key to human survival.

“Water means many things to many people, but it is fundamental to most aspects of our lives,” said Wheater, Canada excellence research chair in water security and director of the recently established Global Institute for Water Security at the University of Saskatchewan.

“The world is facing a lot of complex issues related to water..… We’ve come to the end of the line in expanding our resources and now we have to start using them more wisely and more sustainably.”

As one of the world’s most respected water experts, Wheater’s arrival in Saskatchewan was viewed by many Canadian water researchers as a major step forward.

Wheater, who studied for more than 30 years in the United Kingdom, was attracted to Western Canada through the Canada Excellence Research Chairs program (CERC), which offers world-class scientists an opportunity to develop ambitious research projects at Canadian universities.

Wheater developed a proposal along with the U of S to establish a global institute that would study a wide range of issues related to water management and security.

CER approved the proposal, and Wheater arrived in Saskatoon in 2010 armed with $30 million in funding and an ambitious research agenda.

Now two years along, the institute has an impressive list of members and partners and is supporting water-related research under broadly defined themes that include climate change, land and water management, sustainable resource development, water and human health, and socio-hydrology, which looks at the relationship between society, social values and global water resources.

“Two years ago, there was one of me,” Wheater said.

“Now we have an institute with about 70 or 80 members … (including) faculty or senior government scientists.

Water and agriculture are two peas in a pod. Water is fundamental to agriculture but also, of course, anything that people do on the land affects our water resources, so there’s a very interesting set of interdependencies.

We also have a student membership of around 60, we’re supporting about 50 researchers across the university and (we’re) working closely with our various partners.”

The institute’s purpose, simply stated, is to study water issues from an integrated and holistic perspective and develop tools that will allow the world to manage water resources more effectively.

Wheater acknowledges that the institute has an ambitious and far-reaching research agenda.

In Western Canada alone, it is conducting studies at numerous sites, ranging from the high reaches of the Rocky Mountains to the expansive Saskatchewan River Delta in northeastern Saskatchewan and northern Manitoba.

Much of the institute’s research is focused on the Saskatchewan River Basin, which winds its way through the Canadian Prairies and serves the social, agricultural and industrial needs of one of Canada’s most rapidly developing regions.

The basin will act as a large-scale laboratory in which numerous water-related projects are conducted.

“When it comes to water, there are lots of issues being played out around the world, but interestingly, they are pretty much all represented here in Western Canada,” Wheater said.

“It’s a very exciting environment and there’s certainly plenty of issues for us to work on.”

One notable component of the institute’s research is a multiyear study of water quality in Saskatchewan’s Lake Diefenbaker.

Lake Diefenbaker provides sustenance for the vast majority of the province’s population, but it is facing increasing pressures from upstream and downstream users.

With one year’s worth of data in hand, the institute’s interdisciplinary research team has already made startling discoveries about the amount of nutrients flowing into the reservoir and the quality of water flowing out.

Phosphorus levels in the lake are elevated and algal blooms were observed on some parts of the lake in 2011.

Based on preliminary research, scientists believe that 90 percent of the phosphorus that flows into the lake each year is retained.

Upstream from the reservoir, some parts of the South Saskatchewan River already have phosphorus loads 10 times higher than what scientists would expect to find in a healthy ecosystem.

Nutrient levels in Lake Diefenbaker originate from a variety of sources including urban waste water, upstream agriculture and the natural environment.

One of the institute’s priorities is to understand how much these sources contribute to total nutrient loads and how they can be managed more effectively.

The situation in Lake Winnipeg provides a poignant example of how extreme nutrient loads can affect water quality.

Water availability is another pressing issue, and one that will become only more evident as climate patterns continue to change.

“The South Saskatchewan River is … the lifeblood of (many) prairie cities and it’s also fully allocated in southern Alberta,” Wheater said.

“There is no more water (available for Alberta users), yet Alberta is one of the most rapidly developing provinces in Canada.”

The ever-increasing demands of the oil and gas industry are placing unprecedented pressure on the West’s limited water resources.

Agriculture is also expanding, and global demand for Canadian food exports shows no signs of slowing.

In a nutshell, Canada will be forced to make critical decisions about how it intends to allocate its scarce water resources.

“In Saskatchewan, people are asking questions about water futures: what’s the opportunity and potential for expanding irrigation and if we do, does that mean that we can’t develop new potash mines in the future?” Wheater said.

“In other words, how do we balance these very different but equally important competing interests?”

He said agricultural producers will play an increasingly important role in managing water resources and ensuring that water quality is maintained at an acceptable level.

In many cases, farmers and the agriculture industry have done a commendable job in adopting new management practices that use water more wisely.

But in other cases, agricultural practices could be improved.

For example, the use of inorganic fertilizers has a largely undetermined effect on water quality, as does intensive livestock production, wetland drainage and the widespread use of agricultural chemicals.

Wheater said farmers and landowners should be recognized not only as producers of crops and livestock but also as providers of environmental goods and services that benefit the entire population.

“One of the things that we’re very interested in is the role of agriculture in helping to manage the environment,” he said.

“A lot of work has already been done on beneficial management practices, but the issues involved are very complex and as a result, there have been very few definitive conclusions about what can be achieved.”

Support will eventually grow for policies and incentives that promote environmental stewardship and responsible water use among agricultural producers.

However, Wheater said effective policies must be backed by relevant and dependable research.

“There’s a lot of food for thought for developing policies for the future, but one of the critical parts, though, is trying to get the science right to make informed decisions.”

DOUG CHORNEY | KEYSTONE AGRICULTURAL PRODUCERS

Balancing caution and optimism never looked easier

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

D

oug Chorney is immersed in the day-to-day drudgery of dealing with myriad farmer problems. From hog industry crises to flooding disasters to crop insurance wrangling to the Lake Winnipeg issue, the president of Keystone Agricultural Producers grapples with the problems besetting agriculture in Manitoba.

Yet he always seems bright and cheery, and even with the worst problems, he seems to be finding solutions.

“I have alter egos,” he joked.

“People often think I’m very optimistic, but the people closest to me say that I’m conservative and worry a lot and plan too far ahead.”

Chorney’s immediate reaction to problems seems to be a quick search for pragmatic solutions, which might be due to his aborted career as an engineer and the many years he spent off the farm.

Chorney left the farm and got a degree in agricultural engineering, hoping to spend his career designing farming and other machinery.

He got sidetracked, however, and spent years in the aerospace industry, jetting around North American visiting aerospace manufacturers and literally having a high-flying life.

Many people may have thought Chorney had an ideal career, but then his daughter, Erin, was born and a lot of lingering concerns came to the fore. He didn’t like being away from home all the time on business trips.

He didn’t want to see his wife, Michelle, and new daughter only Doug Chorney and his wife, sporadically, whenever he got back Michelle, are optimistic about the future of farming. | FILE PHOTO to Winnipeg.

And he realized the corporate life wasn’t ideal for him.

“You have all those dynamics in an office environment, the hierarchies and senior management telling you how to do things,” said Chorney.

“After I’d been away for a while, I realized it wasn’t so bad back at the farm.”

So he quit his aerospace career and went back to the family farm. He was able to jointly raise his daughter, something he appreciates now that she is an adult.

And being on the farm allows him to indulge his conservative, risk-averse nature.

“When one light bulb burns out in our house, I say, ‘OK, we need to get a case of them,’ ” said Chorney.

He tends to plan his farm production and marketing well in advance and has lots of spare parts sitting in his shed, waiting for future breakdowns.

“Maybe that makes me a little more comfortable about the future,” said Chorney.

“I think forward planning helps you to be a little more optimistic.”

That’s one reason his day-to-day duties dealing with serious farmer problems don’t get him down or make him seem pessimistic. When he sees problems, he starts thinking of ways to re-engineer a system or situation to work better.

Dealing with problems is a way to make the future better.

“As a farmer, we face a fair bit of adversity, but if you approach every day as if you were going to fail, you’re going to fail,” said Chorney.

He is optimistic about farming’s future and hopes the string of farm problems people like him have to deal with don’t discourage young people from choosing farming as a career.

“If we’re going to keep young people engaged and enthused about our industry, we can’t be too negative,” said Chorney.

After all, even if life on the farm can be challenging, it can be a lot less fulfilling off the farm, as he found out from his engineering career.

As a farmer, we face a fair bit of adversity, but if you approach every day as if you were going to fail, you’re going to fail.

If we’re going to keep young people engaged and enthused about our industry, we can’t be too negative.

BRENDA TJADEN LEPP & MARK LEPP | FARMLINK MARKETING SOLUTIONS

Winnipeg couple helps farmers become marketers

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

B

renda had to figure out what to do with her love of number-crunching. Mark wanted to find a way to stay involved with farming, be his own boss and not have to drive a tractor.

Both spent the early 2000s trying to figure out what they should be doing, and ended up forming a company that now has hundreds of clients who farm millions of acres across the Prairies.

“Where have I come from? Well, I came from a farm. What can I do with that?”

That’s how Brenda Tjaden Lepp helped find her way toward forming FarmLink Marketing Solutions.

Tjaden Lepp had been working as a Winnipeg-based consultant after spending a few years working for Louis Dreyfus Canada and Cargill, but wanted something more focused than contract-to-contract consulting work.

For Mark Lepp, the path to cofounding FarmLink with Tjaden Lepp developed out of his interest in almost everything about farming except for the actual farming.

“What I liked about farming was the finances, the budgets, the marketing.

I liked the overall planning,” said Lepp, who had been operating his own farm at Elm Creek, Man., and working for a seed and chemical company.

“The part I wasn’t so keen on, and I certainly wasn’t good at, was the dayto-day farming.”

He had noticed that some good farmers were often bad marketers.

Tjaden Lepp noticed that many farmers seemed to subscribe to market newsletters but never read them.

They decided to form a company that could take over the marketing requirements of commercial farms, something that would allow Tjaden Lepp to focus her analysis and Lepp to embrace his love of farm financial management.

It’s worked out well for the couple, who live just outside Winnipeg.

They started off gingerly and modestly with a small office in west Winnipeg with only a few staff, TjadenLepp doing most of the daily market analysis and Lepp doing much of the direct financial advice to farmers.

They discovere d a far bigger demand for their type of customized marketing advice and management than they expected, so they started adding farm advisers and analysts.

Within the past few years they have added staff across the Prairies, with 27 advisers scattered from the Peace River country of Alberta to southeastern Manitoba.

The west Winnipeg office proved too small for the growing operation, so they left it and moved to the Por-

tage and Main area of downtown, in the midst of the Canadian grain industry and all the main players of the prairie ag market.

That office now houses three full time market analysts who work closely with Tjaden-Lepp, as well as administrative staff.

With the CWB monopoly on wheat and barley gone and new grain buyers and marketers moving into Canada and into the Portage and Main area, the relocation has worked out well, although they are already considering expanding their bigger offices.

It’s been an intensely busy few years for the couple, setting up their own business and expanding it across Western Canada, but they have also been busy at home, having two babies while expanding FarmLink.

They now have dozens of employees across the Prairies and more than 700 clients who pay them top dollar to manage their crops sale-by-sale, connecting sales to both market outlook and cash flow needs and combining it with personalized risk tolerance profiles.

They’ve learned a few things along the way. Lepp was surprised that the people who seemed to him to be the worst marketers were often the least interested in hiring someone like him.

However, the farmers who seemed to be the best farm marketers were most interested in hiring someone like him to take over those duties.

“We quickly saw that we were getting the guys that were better at it,” said Mark.

“They were good at marketing, but they had more important things to do with their time that would have a bigger impact on the farm.”

Tjaden Lepp has been interested to see how much farmers like to talk with each other.

“These guys like to get together,” said Tjaden Lepp, who hopes to use Twitter, online discussion forums and Facebook to create a community of like-minded farmers.

“Here’s this new space, social media, where we can all hang out together.”

While their decision to launch a marketing management company had nothing to do with the upcoming changes to the CWB monopoly, it was perfectly time to fit a growing need.

During the last years of the monopoly, as the CWB added many Producer Payment Options, grain marketing got more complex for farmers who wanted to attempt to do more than just stay in the pools.

And now with the CWB gone, marketing malting barley and many types of wheat and durum has gotten much more risky and challenging.

Farmers who at one time were actively marketing only canola, oats and special crops suddenly found themselves having at first the opportunity and now the requirement to market all the board grains, too.

Many have decided to employ outside help to market their production, and FarmLink is one of the places they have gone.

KEVIN & MELANIE BOLDT | FARMERS, RESTAURANTEURS

Farm couple moves along road less travelled

BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

K

evin and Melanie Boldt are accidental entrepreneurs. The husband and wife business duo doesn’t fit into the usual business patterns in Saskatchewan, where exports far exceed locally grown and sold food.

“We’re doing some things that some people think could not be done,” said Melanie.

Added Kevin: “We were bucking the trend when we started. Not the trend anywhere else but here, Saskatchewan.”

The Boldts have owned and operated Pine View Farms from their family farm near Osler, Sask., since 1998. They opened Souleio Foods in downtown Saskatoon in 2009.

Both ventures are part of a vertically integrated business formula melded to their philosophy of providing naturally and locally grown food for the home market.

Pine View is a provincially inspected slaughter and processing plant for the family’s “allnatural” chickens, sold at their farmyard store and throughout the province.

Souleio Foods is a market bistro, a farm to fork business.

“It’s farmers, artisans and chefs working together who share a collective concern for the quality of food and what we put into our bodies and how we present that to consumers,” said Melanie.

“It’s another connection for us from the farm to people in the city and providing good food that’s grown well.”

Kevin is a fourth generation farm boy who knows the dairy and grain side. Melanie was raised in rural Saskatchewan, but her experience was not directly tied to farming. She vowed she would never marry a farmer. They met while attending the University of Saskatchewan and have two sons.

Getting bigger or getting out was the question Kevin’s father faced in 1996. He sold his dairy herd and quota that year and invested more heavily into land and equipment. Kevin was farming alongside his father while Melanie worked off the farm as a sales rep for an agriculture supply company.

It was while figuring out an exit strategy from farming for Kevin’s parents and an entrance strategy for Kevin and Melanie that the younger couple concluded they had to get much bigger while remortgaging the family farm.

“We had to either acquire more land or diversify somehow. Be able to buy them out and still pay our way,” said Melanie.

The young couple opted for diversification.

They bought more land and acquired the original homestead that Kevin’s great-grandfather had owned when he emigrated from Minnesota in 1901. They started a small poultry business and raised heifers while continuing to grain farm.

The Boldts’ decision to diversify, particularly into poultry, kept them afloat when grain farming took a turn for the worse in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

“We bought Dad’s equipment and rented his land for six years and used our land. We had four droughts, one bumper crop and one aver-

age crop and then we were done,” said Kevin.

Serendipity began to shine on their fledgling homegrown meat business as grain farming tanked amid widespread drought, growing 20 to 30 percent a year.

“People kept asking for more and so we had to make some choices,” said Melanie.

“We couldn’t do it all and we had to look at what was potential risk and what was return and what’s the opportunity.… It just seemed

clear to us that there was as much risk in changing as staying the same. People were asking us for this stuff and no one else is doing it. So either no one’s doing it because it’s insane or there’s clearly a market.”

As relatively small grain farmers, it didn’t appeal to them to be at the whim of markets, weather, exchange rates and global supply and demand.

“We had to find out what’s within our control,” she said.

“I think it was really our business analysis.

Treat it like a case study and look at what is within our control, what can we change and what can we adapt to.

“That’s what led us to make the decision: to let go of grain farming and (do) what aligns with our philosophies around what is sustainable agriculture for us.”

Added Kevin: “As soon as we rented the land and sold the heavy equipment, we were done farming in everybody’s eyes.”

He said what they’re doing is not rocket science.

“We’re not inventing anything new or doing anything different from other places in the world. But for right here, it’s different. People don’t know how to take us.”

Added Melanie: “We don’t fit any particular definition of farming as it exists today. If you try and plug us into AgriStability or something like that, it gets difficult.”

They say it took time to reconcile their chosen direction, but year after year of sizzling poultry sales made the path look clearer.

They were also quick to recognize that they couldn’t grow it alone. Working with likeminded partner producers, they added turkey, pork, lamb, rabbit, duck, sausage and jerky to their naturally grown lineup.

Good food and quality of life go hand in hand for the Boldts as they continue carving out their place at the table in the competitive food business.

A significant chunk of their business continues to be people who enjoy a country drive out to the farm to buy meat. Souleio Foods also allows Saskatoon residents to buy the products downtown.

“There’s a trend towards prepared or assembled foods: partially cooked or fully cooked. We couldn’t access that market from the farm. The food market is growing, catering and otherwise,” she said.

“Our philosophy has always been, the one closest to the consumer has the most power in the supply chain and the opportunity for profit.

We already have a few steps in the value chain.

If we could take that one more step, we could get that incremental profit between our raw meat and the restaurant plate.”

Both businesses continue to complement each other.

No doubt there’s more in store for this ambitious couple, but for now they say their plate is full running two growing businesses.

“Our goal right now is to fine tune and tweak what we’ve got and look for opportunities. Who knows what might be out there,” said Melanie.

The relationship between the husband and wife business team is also evolving.

“The way we operate sometimes drives each other nuts, but it’s also complementary. I think that’s one of our success factors that has helped us get where we are. I’m the accidental farmer.

He’s the purposeful farmer,” said Melanie.

“To be open to opportunities, but also to do your homework. One reason we’re here is because we did the business case against this versus grain farming-dirt farming.… And then fear takes you the rest of the way.”

CHRISTOPH & ERICA WEDER | CATTLE PRODUCERS

A different take on a familiar job

» The Weders’ calves now need to be fattened on grain for only 60 days instead of the normal 120 days in a feedlot before slaughter.

here some people saw grey wood soil, sloughs and trees that were hard to farm around, Christoph and Erica Weder saw potential.

We can raise cattle without outside inputs, except a little diesel to run trucks and machinery. We use no fertilizer and we’re not organic.

There’s ways to do it in balance with nature.

The couple knew within half an hour of touring the house and five and a half quarters of land at the end of a northern Alberta road near Rycroft, Alta., that they had found the ideal cattle ranch.

“It was a diamond in the rough,” said Christoph, who came to Alberta’s Peace River region from central Alberta after severe drought in 2002.

“We liked it up here. We were willing to cut the umbilical cord and move to a place that gave us an advantage,” he said.

Their hard work and willingness to do things a little differently were recognized when the couple received Alberta Beef Producers’ environmental stewardship award this year for their dedication to creating a sustainable ranching operation.

“What we do on our land is try to improve the soil, add biodiversity and make a living with it,” said Weder.

Their belief that they needed to operate their ranch in a sustainable manner was cemented during a six month backpacking venture to Africa and South America before the move to northern Alberta.

“That really made us conscious of what we have in Canada and what a great place we live in. That set our philosophy of how we run this ranch,” he said.

The couple has fenced and cross-fenced the land, added legumes to all the pastures, put in an extensive watering system, plugged water drainage ditches to restore wetlands, pushed back calving time until May and June, kept the calves on the cows until March, wintered the cattle on pasture year round and stopped castrating the bull calves.

All of this has added up to a profitable cattle ranch.

However, Weder said running a profitable and

sustainable ranch is not just about putting a wire across a field. It’s a whole system. It’s the details of when to graze, how long to graze, how long to rest the pastures and the type of cattle genetics used on a grass-based ranch.

Six years ago, with rising grain prices and dropping beef prices, Weder could see the beef industry would be in trouble if it continued feeding high priced grain to low priced cattle. The search to find cattle that did well in a forage-based system was underway.

“We need genetics that do well on forage and not steered by the show ring.”

The search took him to New Zealand, where cattle are raised and fattened on grass. The Weders’ calves now need to be fattened on grain for only 60 days instead of the normal 120 days in a feedlot before slaughter.

“The genetics are better matched to our environment, and the cow herd can look after itself,” he said.

Building a cow herd that isn’t babied is also key to sustainability, said Weder.

The couple runs 1,000 head of Angus cattle on 15 quarters of deeded land and 28 quarters of grazing lease next to their Spirit View Ranch northeast of Rycroft. They recently bought a second ranch at Gordondale, about an hour west, with four deeded quarters and 10 rented quarters, where they run easy-maintenance Longhorn and Highland cattle bred to Angus bulls.

Weder said the devastating market crash in 2003, after the discovery of BSE in Canada, emphasized how vulnerable cattle producers were to the market. Cattle producers are only recently recovering from closed borders and lost markets.

It was during this time that the Weders and other producers formed Heritage Angus Beef to direct market high-quality, hormone-free beef to grocery stores and restaurants across Canada and around the world.

The meat is slaughtered at the European Unionapproved Canadian Premium Meats plant in Lacombe, Alta. Sixty to 70 percent of the value of their animals is derived from exporting beef to

MARY MACARTHUR PHOTOS

Europe and other high-end markets.

“We get significant premiums for certain cuts and not much for others,” Weder said.

“You got to work at it.”

Weder said he didn’t know anything about a beef carcass and how it should be cut and priced when he started.

Maintaining and developing new markets is an ongoing task, and Weder is always looking for an edge. Three years ago, Heritage Angus Beef formed a partnership with Hero Burgers, a 37-restaurant chain that uses only Heritage Angus Beef in its burgers.

During discussions, Weder suggested the chain should take advantage of the fact that Heritage Angus Beef ’s meat is butchered in an approved Halal method that allows Muslims to eat the hamburgers.

“That’s given them a huge edge in Toronto with the largest Muslim community in Canada. They’re excited to go to a restaurant and eat a burger without breaking rules,” he said.

In an effort to promote the less common cuts of meat, the Weders hired a chef and created their own cookbook, The Cook and the Cowboy. They printed it in English, Italian and German and made it available online.

“It’s the story of Canadian cattle with an international flair.”

Weder predicts that producing cattle on grassland that also supports wildlife and birds and is healthy for the environment will grow in popularity as the cost of grain increases.

“Cattle are going to be playing second fiddle to grain. The system based on feeding grain to cattle for more than 200 days is gone,” he said.

“We can raise cattle without outside inputs, except a little diesel to run trucks and machinery.

We use no fertilizer and we’re not organic. There’s ways to do it in balance with nature.… Our plans are to keep growing. It’s not about growing to make more money. The driving factor is to take land and improving it and have it as a self-functioning system that makes a return with the cattle and improves habitat for wildlife.”

MICHAEL CHUBB | SASKATOON COLOSTRUM COMPANY

The business of creating new business STORY & PHOTO BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

M

ichael Chubb couldn’t pass for a rancher or a professor of agriculture — and he’d tell you as much.

With more sales pitches under his belt than body score exams, the fast-talking businessperson would probably be more at home in the CBC’s Dragons’ Den than a cattle barn.

Yet Chubb found himself wheeling and dealing with agriculturalists on a few fronts this year, first as general manager of the Saskatoon Colostrum Company (SCC), where he pushes a Canadian-made livestock supplement across international borders, and then in his other, unpaid gig mentoring researchers at the University of Saskatchewan’s agriculture and veterinary colleges.

“I couldn’t have paid for the MBA that I realized out of the pathway that has transpired,” said Chubb, who in a leather jacket and no tie with the top button undone on his collared shirt, wasn’t dressed the part of a business bigwig on this visit to SCC’s offices in Saskatoon’s industrial zone.

But a glance online reveals the portrait of a “master networker” with a history of “big-pitch engagement” and “key account relationship development” experience — words gleaned from LinkedIn, an online platform for business networking. This background has helped install Chubb as entrepreneur in residence through the U of S’s Industry Liaison Office (ILO).

Chubb, a Saskatchewan native who took an around-the-world tour through science-based enterprises, executing marketing, sales and business development plans, has been asked to prod and poke students and faculty, looking for opportunities to capitalize on their intellectual capital.

“There’s a whole bunch of people on campus, not just in those colleges, that have the desire for enterprise and may have the seed of an idea, but there’s not a lot of people there to support them and put together a bunch of other resources,” Chubb said.

“So tying together people that have really great business process skills but don’t necessarily have a new idea, is a function that I am enthused about because I’ve now met a lot of the people in both colleges and after you talk to them about their research areas, you see these seeds of enterprise.”

The idea is to identify people who may, in their existing research programs, be sitting on a potential new business and not know it — a new beneficial feed additive, for example, that could be added to a new or existing product and sold to livestock producers.

Similar processes already occur on campus, but not everyone thinks about going into business for himself, breaking ground on a production facility or marketing a new brand. As such, Chubb’s role is both that of a facilitator and provocateur.

“I’m an enthusiast for the creation of new enterprise, preferably from here, from this province, from the really smart people (at the U of S) that often end up sending their ideas away to

In a way, we’re a Saskatchewan company, sure, but we’re actually part of the economics of lots of dairy farms across the country on the supply side.

Hopefully on the sale side, too. somebody else in some other part of the world for commercialization,” said Chubb.

“We can do it here. We can totally do it here, but you need to agitate to think different sometimes.”

The U of S and the ILO, which works with patents and licences, have a strong history of commercializing research, bringing new products to producers and building bridges between academic and business communities.

Farmers will recognize the many seed varieties from the Crop Development Centre, while vaccines familiar to livestock producers can be traced back to laboratories on campus. This trail contributes to revenues that are among the highest in the country for university-licensed technologies.

However, Chubb was brought onboard to encourage professors and researchers to pave the way themselves.

“Even the idea of protecting your technology by getting a patent is not very close to the heart of lots of professors,” said Baljit Singh, associate dean of research at the U of S’s Western College of Veterinary Medicine.

“They don’t even think about these things yet, and then to think about commercializing and starting an enterprise or a company or a business based on that technology, you’ve got to imagine that it’s still a few steps removed from their thinking.”

A model of success for researchers is the organization Chubb has helmed since 2011.

By the time Chubb became general manager of SCC, it had already been swallowed up by Koepon Holding, becoming a significant holding for the Dutch dairy giant that also owns Albertabased genetics company Alta Genetics.

However, the company’s roots are in the work of Deborah

Haines at the WCVM, who was researching the passive transmission of maternal antibodies from cow to calf 20 years ago.

The business was built from the knowledge that replacement colostrum with an improved immunoglobulin content, which helps prevent disease, could benefit cattle and producers.

Since then, the company’s portfolio has expanded to include human and companion animal products.

Today, the company buys hundreds of thousands of litres of frozen material a year from more than 1,400 farms in Canada, processing and packaging it as a dried powder at its Saskatoon facility.

This year, most of its products will be sold in Canada, the United States and Japan to the expected tune of $7 million in sales.

In 2012, the company received an exporter of the year nomination from the Saskatchewan Trade and Export Partnership.

From Saskatoon, Chubb keeps an eye on growing or potential markets in South America and Europe while navigating their corresponding regulatory hangups.

“In a way, we’re a Saskatchewan company, sure, but we’re actually part of the economics of lots of dairy farms across the country on the supply side,” he said. “Hopefully on the sale side too.”

Singh said Chubb is at the colleges for only a few hours a month, but there’s potential for more than just talk to emerge if others like Chubb join the program and it continues for several more years.

“I think about the sustainability of it. You could have 100 Mike Chubbs, and you should,” said Chubb.

“I think you should have partners that are kind of like free radicals floating around in this ecosphere of potential.”

TIM MCALLISTER | RESEARCHER

A passion for science

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

H

ow do you get rid of a prion? Will meatless Mondays have an effect on global warming? What’s the real story behind antibiotic resistance? And can you ride a mountain bike across a busy Alberta city in a snowstorm?

Tim McAllister, principal research scientist at Agriculture Canada’s research centre in Lethbridge, is trying to find answers to all these questions with considerable success, though the last question on the list requires the least amount of research.

The internationally known ruminant microbiologist is an avid cyclist, but work is his major passion.

“I like being busy. I never have to think about what I’m going do for a minute when I’m at this office. I could work 24 hours a day if I wanted.”

Sometimes he does, by all accounts. Years ago, his habit of sleeping in the lab while doing research for his master’s degree convinced renowned ruminant microbiologist K.J. Cheng to accept him as a doctoral student.

Even now, McAllister exults in international research collaborations that allow him to work longer because of different time zones. At the Lethbridge Research Centre, he manages about 50 people working on various research projects.

McAllister chooses to lead his team by example, spending hours in his office reviewing data and planning future research directions.

“A big part of science is being able to see into the future and seeing what issues are going to arise,” he said.

“All of my program is based on a huge team of people, and each of us bring different skill sets to the table. Seeing the future and where things are going is what I bring, that’s my skill set. But without everybody’s skill set, we don’t deliver on the final product. I’d be pretty useless without everybody else.”

Evidence of his success is plentiful, but pride of place in his office is reserved for a 2007 Nobel Peace Prize, awarded to him as a member of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

The panel shared the award with former U.S. vice-president Al Gore in recognition of raising international awareness of global warming.

McAllister grew up on a farm near Innisfail, Alta. He switched to agriculture during his second year of university zoology studies because he figured he could always use it back on the farm.

He met his wife, Kim Stanford, while both were studying at the University of Alberta. When Stanford got a job in Lethbridge after they both earned their degrees, McAllister followed.

After a few different jobs and a PhD from the University of Guelph for McAllister, they both ended up in research, he with Agriculture Canada and she with Alberta Agriculture.

“We work really well together. She’s got skills that I don’t have. She’s great at statistics and I’m not as good at statistics as I should be,” McAllister said.

“We collaborate together a lot. A lot of work on E. coli O157 we do jointly.”

McAllister has travelled to every continent except Antarctica in pursuit of his research and at the invitation of various organizations and academic institutions. He’s an adjunct professor at five Canadian universities, another in Australia and another in China.

His reputation also attracts numerous postdoctoral students and researchers who want to work with him.

That’s in no small part due to the fact that McAllister’s team gets results. Agriculture Canada scientists in Lethbridge are expected to publish at least two papers per year. This year McAllister and his team will publish 52.

“We’re doing some really neat stuff. And the thrill of discovering things that nobody else in the world knows and the thrill that they have of being the first ones to do that (keep his team members motivated),” he said.

“I’m here to help them, but I also emphasize a lot of independence. You sort of determine your own success or failure. You really need to have passion for science because it’s incredibly competi-

tive and you’re kicked around continuously.”

McAllister admits it’s been awhile since he’s slept in the lab or juggled test tubes. His time is now better spent guiding research, polishing content in papers and collating all that he reads into a sense of where research should go next.

Right now, some of his attention is focused on food safety and misinformation about livestock production.

“A lot of our program now is putting some science around those issues.”

McAllister is sought as a speaker on the numerous topics within his area of expertise.

The best part of that is when he sees the “a ha” moment dawning on faces in his audience.

But he also knows he’s only as good as his last success.

“If you achieve an international reputation, it’s kind of like being a hockey player. As long as you’re scoring goals and assists, you’re seen as being in the top, but as soon as you stop scoring they want to send you to retirement.”

McAllister said reduced government funding for agricultural research is a concern, and the quest for project funding is never-ending. Companies and corporations support some of his team’s projects.

“One thing I make perfectly clear to those companies when they come here is that I’m going to publish the information whether it’s positive or negative, and I never accept a contract with a company that won’t allow me to publish information.”

BRAD WILDEMAN | CATTLE PRODUCER, VOLUNTEER

‘Experience was a great teacher’

Brad Wildeman at the Pound-Maker Agventures feedlot near Lanigan, Sask. | KAREN BRIERE PHOTO

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

H

e became the face on the TV screen, the voice on the radio, the name in the newspaper in the post-BSE world. It happened sort of by accident, but Brad Wildeman emerged as a leader in the Canadian beef industry after the fateful announcement on May 20, 2003, that BSE had been found in Canada.

At the time, Wildeman was chair of the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association’s foreign trade committee and chair of the Canadian Cattle Identification Agency, which had traced the animal from where it was found to its originating herd in Alberta.

He had been on the CCA board for only a couple of years when the border closed, and as president of Pound-Maker Agventures, a 28,5000-head capacity feedlot and 13-million-litre ethanol facility east of Lanigan, Sask., had enough on his plate.

However, as one of the few representatives from the feedlot sector at the CCA, he felt compelled to step forward.

“The board (of Pound-Maker) gave me the green light and I ended up spending 80 percent of my time away from home,” he recalled. “We were froze up anyway.”

He might have thought differently about his decision had he known just how his life and that of his family would change.

“It’s lucky you don’t know in advance,” he said.

Wildeman, who has just completed a term as head of Canada Beef, said his time in cowboy politics is now over and he has served notice he will retire from Pound-Maker in 2014.

It’s unlikely, however, that his passion will keep him away for long.

Wildeman, 58, came to the beef industry from a grain-farming family that also ran the general store in Esk, Sask., just south of the existing PoundMaker facilities.

The feedlot was an idea developed by Wildeman’s father and about 40 other locals who wanted to add value to their grain operations.

“It was pretty depressed in farming in ’67, ’68, ’69,” he said. “My memories are of the summers spent fixing up buildings to store this grain we couldn’t sell.”

A 2,500-head feedlot was planned in 1970, and the name Last Mountain Feeders selected. However, when it came time to register, the organizers learned someone else had already reserved it.

Because the intent was to put pounds on cattle, the feedlot became PoundMaker.

Shareholders could contribute $4,000 per share in cash, grain or labour.

Wildeman got his first job at 16 paying off his father’s share in labour.

Later, while growing grain with his father and brother, he worked at the feedlot doing whatever needed to be done: hauling bales, riding pens and running the feed mill.

“Experience was a great teacher and I got to have a love for the cattle business,” he said. “I loved this business and the people that were around it.”

Wildeman’s fate was sealed in 1985.

“I’m out harvesting, September long weekend,” he said. “I could see the feedlot truck coming. The manager said, ‘I’m leaving. I’ve found another job and you’re the first to know.’ ” Wildeman’s father was board chair at the time and asked him to run the feedlot until a manager could be hired. He had four days of training before the manager left.

“Winter came, spring came, and I said, ‘I got to get home and farm,’ but I think (dad) knew this is what I really wanted to do, and now I’m the longestserving temporary employee here.”

The farm has been rented since then, and Wildeman got to stay near his family and community. He declined the occasional offer to do something else.

“This place gave me a great job and a great life,” he said.

He, his wife, Cheri, and three children moved to the site in 1986.

The operation’s groundbreaking ethanol business, the first to integrate fuel

WESTERN PEOPLE

THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | DECEMBER 27, 2012

We have a great story to tell. If we’re on a quest to show how efficient and business-like we are, we’ve lost the most important fact. We’re in a battle for the heart. production and livestock feeding, began in 1990 with its fair share of challenges.

Intrigued with the idea of feeding the byproducts from converting feed wheat to ethanol, the company secured a contract with Mohawk, issued shares to raise the money and built the plant.

“There was no research on feeding,” Wildeman said.

“We didn’t have a clue what it would look like, what it would do.”

The two byproducts, wet distillers grain and thin stillage, couldn’t withstand a lengthy storage. The idea to pump the stillage to the water bowls was developed on site.

Then came the realization that more feed was available than cattle in the feedlot. At that time, PoundMaker was feeding 8,000 to 10,000 head.

Wildeman said there was no more money to expand, but Saskatchewan Wheat Pool stepped in and became a partner.

Eventually, Husky would buy Mohawk and the pool would sell its shares back to Pound-Maker.

He said the original goal was to use cellulose as the feedstock. Research was saying that would be the norm within a few years.

“Here we are, 20 years later, and people are saying we’re going to be making it out of straw in four or five years,” he said.

Combining the two enterprises is not necessarily something he would do again.

The mentality of the two is different, and ethanol is still “a political football,” he said.

Perhaps the politics of ethanol prepared Wildeman for the politics of the cattle business.

He spent 11 years on the CCA board, including president from 2008 to 2010 and vice-president for the two years before that.

He was president of the Saskatchewan Cattle Feeders Association, chair of the Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization and is still a director of several agricultural organizations. He sat on the provincial

government’s Action Committee on the Rural Economy.

He is a member of the federal beef roundtable and advises the minister of international trade.

He received the Governor General of Canada’s award and was inducted into the Saskatchewan Agricultural Hall of Fame in 2008.

But to do all this, something else had to give, and Wildeman said he regrets that his family saw so little of him during the post-BSE years as he travelled to Ottawa weekly.

“I thought it was important to do it,” he said. “For a feedlot guy at that time, every day was important. I didn’t

suffer. My family did.”

In this, his first year without commitments, he said he is trying to figure out “what real people do.”

And while he likes to golf a bit and enjoys a home in Phoenix during the winter, he said he won’t be able to completely let his old life slide away.

What he’d really like to do is strengthen connections between farmers and consumers and help dispel the myths that detractors spread.

“We have a great story to tell,” he said. “If we’re on a quest to show how efficient and business-like we are, we’ve lost the most important fact.

We’re in a battle for the heart.”

Fine-tuning the mechanics of farm policy Agriculture’s top politicians | Meet the four men who shape farm policies on the Prairies at the provincial and national levels. | Stories by Barry Wilson, Ottawa bureau GERRY RITZ | FEDERAL AGRICULTURE MINISTER

Changing the face of Canadian agriculture A

s Gerry Ritz nears next year’s milestone of becoming the longest-serving federal agriculture minister in three decades, he is also a leading player in a generational transformation of farm policy fundamentals.

Gone, says Ritz, will be the assumption of government support as a built-in component of farm business plans.

Safety net programs will remain in the next fiveyear Growing Forward policy framework that launches April 1, but the emphasis will be on farmers responding to market signals, government policy helping them to do that through innovation, research and insurance funding and market returns largely deciding if farms survive or fail.

Ritz, a Saskatchewan MP and former grain farmer, said his inspiration to push for agricultural policy change came from his days on his westcentral Saskatchewan farm beginning in the 1970s, when he also had off-farm interests in a contracting business and a local newspaper.

He said he found a far different policy environment between his farm and non-farm interests.

“On the non-farm business side, you rely on your own marketing skills, your own ability to take risks in the market,” he said.

“I found on my agricultural side, someone else was making those decisions for me or they were slanted in a certain way by government programming that didn’t let me make the decisions I wanted.”

The Canadian Wheat Board monopoly for his non-feed wheat and barley sales was part of it, but farm support programs such as the Gross Revenue Insurance Program were also were an irritant.

“GRIP allowed farmers to farm the program, and the CWB did not allow me to take my own market risks but also to reap the benefits if I made the right decisions,” he said.

Ritz began to work on those issues after he was elected as a Reform MP in 1997, and a stint as chair of the House of Commons agriculture committee

gave him a broader platform to influence policy when the Conservatives won government in 1996.

Much of the outline of the first five-year Growing Forward program outline was in place by the time Ritz was appointed agriculture minister in the summer of 2007, but he was a driving force behind the federal-provincial Whitehorse agreement signed in September 2012.

The agreement will substantially cut business risk management funding over five years, re-orient government spending toward market support and innovation and make potentially hundreds of millions of dollars in savings available for deficit reduction at the federal and provincial levels.

Ritz said it is a change in policy mindset based on the assumption that Canada’s agricultural commodity price boom will continue.

“First and foremost, the role of government going forward is to ensure that any government policy or direction does not mask market signals,” he said.

“I think there is a role for government to play as a backstop, but I don’t think it can be part of your business plan. Your business plan has to be based on the assumption of no government support and then you have a good solid business case to move forward on.”

He said increased market access will help ensure Canadian agriculture has a prosperous future.

“The world has focused on securing stable and sustainable food supply,” said Ritz.

“They want nutrition and they also want a lighter carbon footprint. They want it all. Canada is one of the few countries that can deliver on all of that. We need a policy base that lets farmers take advantage of that and that does not mask the opportunities that are out there for farmers equipped and ready to take advantage of them.”

He said governments must work to provide better farm product insurance programs, including stepping up efforts to create a long-promised livestock price insurance program.

Ritz said Alberta’s experiment with cattle price insurance has had limited success because AgriStability has provided too much protection.

“A lot of the blame came from the fact that AgriStability covered 100 percent, so why would you spend money to insure your animals?”

RON KOSTYSHYN | MANITOBA AGRICULTURE MINISTER

Manitoba farmers want more research support, fewer farm subsidies

R

ookie Manitoba agriculture minister Ron Kostyshyn was an oddity among federal and provincial agriculture ministers who signed onto a new fiveyear farm policy vision in September in Whitehorse.

Kostyshyn was a rare New Democrat among a sea of Conservative and Liberal ministers approving a Growing Forward 2 policy document that will reduce government farm income support and increase emphasis on market returns and government support for market development, research and innovation.

But in a mid-November interview, Kostyshyn did not diverge from the cross-party consensus.

“Let’s be realistic,” he said when asked about the future of agriculture in Manitoba.

“Producers out there aren’t waiting by the mailbox, waiting for the brown envelope. They look to government to put forward market ideas, research ideas to provide them dollar savings in their operations.”

The former long-time municipal politician said he considers consultation with producers, rather than directives from government, to be the key to the farm sector’s evolution.

“The Manitoba government, the Saskatchewan government, the federal government do not want to run your farm business,” said Kostyshyn.

“They’re there to provide assistance and the key issue is communication with farm groups so we can see what they need to be profitable and that they get some respect.”

He said a key component of future government pro-

gramming will be providing support for farm insurance schemes that will cover losses no longer covered by general farm income support programs.

“From the Manitoba agricultural perspective, we are there to help design and support insurance programs, to provide innovation and the research component,” he said.

“But most important, we need to have that communication with producer groups to see where we can best help, and most efficiently. The insurance component is there for the days when farmers have some bad luck, and finding better models will be part of the research, but at the end of the day, producers have to accept fluctuations and insurance rather than a government payout.”

When asked about the impact that climate change could have on the industry and the need for government programming, he said the industry and government cannot plan for the future based on assumptions of climate change.

“We are looking at that, but we have to be very cautious about thinking that climate change is here forever and a day,” he said.

“I think that is in question. I don’t think it is for me to draw a picture of disaster in the future.”

And despite a significant push by the Manitoba government to boost the flow of immigrants to the province, Kostyshyn said he does not see immigrants as a major factor in farm ownership or the farm community anytime soon.

Instead, immigrants will continue to be needed as workers on farms and in agricultural plants.

“Definitely, immigrants are welcome to come here to fulfill our labour needs,” he said.

“But I don’t see immigrants coming here to farm, to grow crops for their communities or to sell to communities overseas.”

Producers out there aren’t waiting by the mailbox, waiting for the brown envelope. They look to government to put forward market ideas, research ideas to provide them dollar savings in their operations.

S

askatchewan agriculture minister Lyle Stewart was convinced in September that a new national farm policy deal that limits government’s future role in farm support set the right direction for the sector.

With months since then to reflect on the deal that potentially cuts hundreds of millions of dollars out of business risk management spending, he still is.

Stewart, one of the many rookie provincial agriculture ministers at a federal-provincial table dominated by veteran federal minister Gerry Ritz, said the next five years will feature a farm economy far less vulnerable to sharp income drops that have led to billions of dollars of program payments in the past five years.

An underlying assumption of federal and provincial ministers who signed the five-year Growing Forward 2 deal in Whitehorse was that the recent strong commodity prices in some agricultural sectors are the new normal.

“There will be cycles, but unless the world economy collapses, there will be a demand for food,” said Stewart.

“What I am saying is that while there will be downturns in the economic cycle for agriculture, I think the floors will be substantially higher than they have been in the past, supported by consumers around the world.”

His assessment, and that of other ministers who signed the Whitehorse agreement, came as the Canadian hog industry was experiencing yet another bottom line meltdown that received little benefit from existing programs.

Stewart even saw some hope in that economic train wreck, which hit Saskatchewan hard.

“It is hard to figure out because cycles are so short

LYLE STEWART | SASK. AGRICULTURE MINISTER

VERLYN OLSON | ALBERTA AGRICULTURE MINISTER

Better times are ahead for Saskatchewan

Alberta agriculture looks to innovation, marketing for growth

A

lberta agriculture minister Verlyn Olson helped make agricultural policy history in September as one of a dozen ministers signing a new national agriculture policy framework.

and the industry is rationalizing,” he said in midNovember.

“But I suspect we are heading into a period of better stability than we’ve seen in recent years.”

Stewart echoed the general ministerial view that governments must move away from income support for farmers and toward supporting innovation and market-opening policies that will give efficient farmers a better chance to make a living from the market.

He said past policy often centred too much on supporting farmers whatever their business situation.

“I think policy did swing too far to supporting farmers who shouldn’t have been in the business in the first place,” said Stewart.

“This is a business, and some people can’t make it because of their own abilities or circumstances. It’s always a sad thing and no one wants to see it (farm failure), but over the past 30 years farm programs did get to be a bit of an entitlement, and there was an entitlement mentality among some producers: ‘this is what I want to do and I’ll do it no matter what it costs the rest of society.’ ” Stewart said farm support programs should never have been right-to-farm entitlements, and future viability is not connected to farm size.

“I think most of our producers, including small producers, are viable,” he said.

“I’m not concerned about smaller producers being pushed out because they find ways to make their business work. They are innovative. They have niches to fill, but I do believe that as they leave, their land will be taken over and farms will continue to get bigger.”

Stewart said despite predictions that climate change will dramatically alter Saskatchewan agriculture, the bigger factor will be research spending that creates new varieties able to thrive in shorter growing seasons or with less moisture.

“I think the evolution of Saskatchewan agriculture will have a lot more to do with research than climate change,” he said.

Olson, a rural lawyer new to the cabinet table, said in an interview the Growing Forward 2 five-year agreement signed in Whitehorse is the vision of the future: less hands-on government and more farmer self-reliance.

“With the Growing Forward agreement that we have now, in Alberta something like 90 percent of money is focused on business risk management,” he said.

“Using a hockey analogy, we’re playing defence when we’re talking about BRM. We don’t have the puck. The best time is when you have the puck and you are on offence, so it is exciting to talk to the industry about possibilities beyond BRM that are before us in innovation and marketing.”

However, his vision for the agricultural portfolio extends beyond the farmgate. It involves more processing plants in rural Alberta and more of an emphasis on adding value to raw agricultural products in the province.

It also involves a higher profile for agriculture in a province where many see the energy sector as the economic driver.

“Agriculture really is underplayed as a driver of Alberta’s economy, and yet we are the second biggest industry in the province and the largest renewable resource sector,” he said.

“As a lawyer in rural Alberta, most of my clients were farmers or rural and I am very passionate about rural development and it was one of the themes premier (Alison) Redford stressed when she appointed me minister.”

Olson said there is angst in Alberta about the amount of oil and gas that is shipped out of the province as a raw resource for refining or product development elsewhere.

“If you applied the standards of the energy industry to agriculture, we are nowhere near where they are for value-adding,” he said.

“You just have to look at all the rail cars taking grain out of the province and the country to be processed elsewhere. This is one of my goals, to see more value added done in rural Alberta. In rural Alberta, we can talk to each other about the need for development, but if we only talk to ourselves we are talking to the converted, so I want to take that conversation to urban Alberta to make them recognize how important we are.”

He said this fall’s E. coli meat contamination at the XL foods plant in Brooks could end up being a catalyst for more urban interest in where their food comes from and how the system works to keep it safe.

Olson said Alberta producers will be adaptable in the face of climate change, but insurance policies will have to be strengthened to help them cope with less climate predictability.

And while not the traditional financial backstop, he said governments will continue to supply important support to farmers.

“We need to rely on the initiative and the entrepreneurial spirit of our farmers, but there is a role for government, and I hear that from producers all the time,” he said.

“Government needs to do things that individual producers can’t do. A farmer told me, ‘ I don’t need government to help me build something on my farm, but I need government to help me find markets for what I grow because I can’t go to Korea myself and open a market.’ ” Olson said he does not expect to “pull levers in Edmonton and get things done” to direct future farm conditions, but government is not abandoning farmers.

We need to rely on the initiative and the entrepreneurial spirit of our farmers, but there is a role for government, and I hear that from producers all the time.

TRUDY HEAL & MARGARET HUGHES | SISTERS, OWNERS OF BEST COOKING PULSES

Sisters build company as Canadian as maple syrup and … peas?

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

A

bout 15 cars were parked outside a corrugated metal Quonset on the east end of Portage la Prairie, Man., on a chilly, grey morning in late November. Walking beside the rustic Quonset, which looks like it was built before 1965, it’s hard to imagine it houses one of the most innovative agri-food companies in Western Canada.

Best Cooking Pulses, which produces pea flour, pea fibre and other pulse flours at its mill in Portage, was named one of 10 food companies in Canada that “are changing the way we eat” in a 2011 Globe and Mail report.

Those kinds of generic statements are often meaningless generic statements, but the owners of Best Cooking Pulses truly want to change what we eat.

“We’re reintroducing pulses into the North American diet, in sort of a stealth way,” said president Trudy Heal while sitting inside an office at the company’s mill in Portage.

“We’re taking a traditional food (peas) that’s fallen out of favour ... and introducing pulse flours into processed foods, which in turn, makes (those foods) healthier,” added Heal’s sister, Margaret Hughes, who manages sales and marketing for the company.

The sisters have transformed Best Cooking Pulses from a pea splitting company into a food ingredients juggernaut since assuming control of the company in 2004 after their father, Geoff Heal, died.

As an example of their growth, Hughes and Heal have increased pulse flour sales from 4,000 pounds in all of 2004 to nearly 900,000 lb. in one month this fall.

“We’ve had like 50 percent growth for five years running (in volume of product sold),” Heal said.

Hughes has also developed markets for pea hulls, a byproduct of the splitting process. The pet food industry and global food companies are using the hulls to enrich the fibre content of food.

Hughes and Heal never intended to run the family business. In fact, they were likely sick of peas by the time they became adults.

“We grew up in a second generation pea family,” Hughes said inside a small office at the Portage plant, the hum of milling machines audible in the background.

“That means that during the harvest (season) you have pea soup everyday…. And when you go on a car trip you don’t go to Disneyworld, you visit every factory and (food processing) plant beside every rail siding.”

Following university, Hughes and Heal established careers away from Portage la Prairie and peas. Hughes moved to England for 14 years, where she was a manager with the National Health Service. Heal became a partner in an interior design firm in Toronto.

However, the sisters returned to Portage to run the family business when their father was diagnosed with ALS. The business was started by their grandfather in 1936.

They said they didn’t sell Best Cooking Pulses after their dad died because they couldn’t abandon the pulse milling plant.

“It’s very much like the notion of the family farm. This is our family’s livelihood. It’s the family’s asset. It’s how we’ve fed ourselves and sent our kids to school for three generations,” Heal said.

When Hughes and Heal assumed control of Best Cooking Pulses, they quickly realized the company’s old business model of selling peas, chickpeas and lentils into the soup, canned food and curry markets wasn’t sustainable in the modern world of food.

“Pea soup. People may make that on the weekends, (but) it is no longer a staple. It has dropped out of the North American diet in the last 40 years,” Heal said.

The sisters also learned their father had developed a proprietary process for milling pulses into flour that increased the shelf life of the product.

Hughes, who took on the sales role when she moved back from England, began by marketing the pulse flour to pet food companies.

“What this person has done,” Heal said, gesturing toward her sister. “She started working on the formulators of pet foods and got them incorporating the flour because it has such a great nutritional profile…. So we’ve made fabulous inroads there.”

After conquering the pet food industry, Hughes turned her attention to the human food market. Food ingredient buyers were initially skeptical about pulse flour, but over the last eight years Hughes convinced many companies, including Fortune 500 corporations, to use yellow and green pea flour in their sauces, breads, cereals and snacks.

Best Cooking Pulses has expanded its operations in Portage as sales have grown. The company now employs 25 people at its

Trudy Heal, left, and her sister, Margaret Hughes, own and operate Best Cooking Pulses in Portage la Prairie, Man. Since taking over the family business in 2004, they have developed markets for pea flour across North America and now sell nearly one million pounds of pulse flour each month. | ROBERT ARNASON PHOTO

COMPANY PROFILE • Best Cooking Pulses operates two pulse mills: Portage la Prairie, Man., and Rowatt, Sask.

• Portage mill produces pulse flours and pea fibre for human and pet consumption • Rowatt mill cleans and bags whole peas, lentils and chickpeas and de-hulls, splits and polishes peas for domestic and global markets • the company sold 4,000 pounds of pulse flour in 2004. It now sells nearly a one million lb. of pulse flour per month mill, up from eight employees in 2004.

Heal and Hughes said their previous lives in cosmopolitan cities helped them understand the attitudes and perspectives of urbanites when it comes to food.

“Going away and having a different view of the world has enabled us to market this stuff differently. If you’re living in downtown Toronto … you’re witnessing your friends becoming fearful of food and buying all organic,” Heal said.

“If you’re in a farming community, you don’t understand the paranoia around food that people in large urban centres have.”

As women running an agri-business, Hughes and Heal are definitely in the minority in Canada. Even within their family, the idea of two women running the pulse mill was an absurd concept not so long ago.

“When Trudy was born, grandfather sent a letter (to their dad) saying better luck next time,” Margaret recalled with a laugh.

“I’m telling you, people have no idea how much the world has changed.”

“Well, Grandpa did (eventually) give in. He said I could be his secretary when I grew up,” Heal said.

Hughes and Heal said one advantage of being women is that they view peas, chickpeas and lentils as food rather than commodities.

“Canada is about few people, lots of resources, get it on a train and ship it out,” Hughes said.

“Whether it’s our wood or oil or our agricultural products, that’s how as Canadians, we kind of think.”

Heal said there are endless opportunities to process crops in this country if Canadians can overcome the commodity philosophy.

“The biggest thing that gets in the way of the development of agriculture in Canada is the commodity mindset that doesn’t think of value-added.”

Best Cooking Pulses has experienced significant growth over the last five years, but Hughes and Heal feel they’re just getting started. They envision a future where pulse flour is in 10 percent of every loaf of bread so that peas become a staple of the Canadian diet again, albeit in a different form than 200 years ago.

“Every longboat of voyageurs leaving Montreal, there was a bag of peas on the boat,” Heal said.

Added Hughes: “(Peas) are more Canadian than maple syrup.… This country was built on pulses.”

NEVER LOOK BACK! Step into the productivity of a new Guardianâ&#x201E;˘ front boom sprayer from New Holland and you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t turn back. With the boom in front, you have a complete unobstructed view of every nozzle. This outstanding visibility means you can run the boom closer to the ground to control drift. Spray is delivered into the crop before the first tires go over it, eliminating the potential for dust to neutralize the spray.

Start achieving a new level of spraying freedom and productivity.

The People Behind the

There was an actual big need for this, and there was a technology void out there. Opportunity kept presenting itself and we kept walking through the door.

WADE BARNES | CO-FOUNDER, FARMER’S EDGE

Big business with a local focus

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

F

armer’s Edge co-founder Wade Barnes once met in Europe with two senior managers of Dow and Cargill. They were trying to develop an Eastern European canola production supply chain. Barnes realized they would have all fit in just as well at a curling club or hockey rink on the Canadian Prairies.

“We were sitting around talking about how we were going to build a strategy for specialty oil in Eastern Europe, and the three guys around the table were all from close to each other in Western Canada,” he said.

“There were no Australians, or Brits or Americans.

Just three Canadian boys, all from the farm.”

It’s a phenomenon he’s noticed as his company’s business moves into many parts of the world’s leading crop production areas. For some reason, Canada seems to produce a lot of people who know how to develop farming systems that work, and the world appreciates those people.

“We don’t even understand what we have until we go out into the world,” said Barnes.

The unlikely rise of Farmer’s Edge to being a globally recognized leader in variable rate technology began with humble ambitions but is typical of what Barnes thinks sets Canadians apart from other agricultural entrepreneurs.

Barnes and co-founder Curtis MacKinnon, both of who are still in their mid-30s, were working for a farm inputs retailer in Pilot Mound, Man., in the early 2000s and wanted to develop a local variable rate technology business.

So they did.

“We thought, ‘there’s a business to be made here in Pilot Mound. We’ll be able to go hunting and fishing and play hockey and we’ll develop this business and we’ll do as well as we would if we were working for a retailer,’ ” said Barnes.

“But there was an actual big need for this, and

there was a technology void out there. Opportunity kept presenting itself and we kept walking through the door.”

The company has set up dozens of agronomists across the Prairies since it was founded.

It directly advises farmers in South America and Russia on crop production and identity-preserved systems, helping manage hundreds of thousands of acres.

It also sells its variable rate technology software through U.S. ag retailers and agronomist networks.

Farmer’s Edge developed its own software so that it had agronomist-focused programs for its own staff rather than software-focused programs adjusted for agronomy.

“That’s becoming a bigger part of our business,” said Barnes.

The company has its headquarters in Winnipeg in a building that houses the soil-testing lab the company bought from a former owner.

The growth into a multi-faceted company was unplanned, but Barnes thinks that is probably why it all works. They have applied themselves and made things work wherever they had skills and there were unmet needs.

Just like any prairie farmer.

Even when many people were saying that variable rate technology was just a fad and would fade, they plugged away.

“Sometimes, you just have to have the tenacity to say just because everyone says you can’t do it doesn’t mean it’s true,” said Barnes.

Kloppenburg Collection

By Beverly Fast Henry and Cheryl Kloppenburg have donated many pieces of art to the College of Agriculture and Bioresources, including an impressive collection of Inuit sculpture and several iconic Douglas Bentham sculptures on the second floor, and paintings (including well-known works by Allen Sapp) on the 6th floor.

Why two prominent Saskatoon lawyers, both graduates of the U of S College of Law, have chosen to donate art to the College of Agriculture and Bioresources is a frequently asked question. First, the Kloppenburgs believe art should be enjoyed year-round. “When you make a gift to a gallery, for example, the art might be displayed for a few months then put into storage for years.” Cheryl says. “When we donate art, we prefer it to be seen.”

Second, the Kloppenburg’s were long-time friends of J.W.B. Stewart, dean of agriculture from 1990 to 1999, and his wife Anne. “During his years as dean, Stewart created an environment for art in the Agriculture Building,” Henry says. “He was no longer dean when we made our first gift, but he was the reason behind it.”

Henry and Cheryl’s shared interest in art led to a 40-year adventure in collecting, during which they amassed some 400 to 500 pieces. Canadian artists have always been the focus. Over the years, they have collected works by A.Y. Jackson, Frank Johnston, Arthur Lismer, William Perehudoff, Dorothy Knowles, Ernest Lindner, Reta Cowley, Greg Hardy, Allen Sapp and Robert Hurley.

“Our philosophy of collecting is threefold,” Henry says. “It has to be good art, it has to be art of sufficient stature to get appraised, and we have to be able to dispose of the art to galleries or institutions—we have to have an exit strategy.”

Many art works have gone to institutions, with the College of Agriculture and Bioresources being a main beneficiary. In 2000, the Kloppenburg’s donated 27 paintings to the college. The Kloppenburg Collection was unveiled during the grand opening of the sixth floor addition to the Agriculture Building. Subsequent donations have expanded the collection to over 50 paintings—and 11 more Allen Sapp works in 2012.

In 2011, the Henry and Cheryl Kloppenburg Collection of Inuit Sculpture was permanently installed on the second floor. It includes 55 works by a variety of northern Canadian artists.

The Kloppenburgs are regular visitors to Agriculture Building. “We get a great sense of joy and pleasure when we see the art on display,” Henry says. “We also believe that when you see art around you every day, you take a little bit of it with you through life.” www.agbio.usask.ca

We have a big job ahead of us. I don’t have an answer.

It’s going to take a whole refocus of society as a whole.

OPPOSITE PAGE: Lorne Scott, avid conservationist and farmer, checks one of the many bird feeders in his farmyard near Indian Head, Sask.

L

orne Scott opens his home office window and pours a few walnuts into a narrow feeder attached to the ledge. He has barely cranked the window closed when a chickadee alights, snatches a treat and flits away. A nuthatch visits another feeder in the farmyard, and a wood squirrel nibbles at something on the ground. An early snowfall has blanketed the yard, but Scott is ready.

Pails of grain and sunflower seeds stand in his porch ready to feed birds and squirrels all winter.

This is Scott’s world. It’s where he is most comfortable and to what he has dedicated most of his life’s work.

His 800-acre farm south of Indian Head, Sask., where he farms “with discers and 40-year-old combines,” is a way to generate some income, but the habitat it provides is probably more important.

Scott’s heart has been in conservation since he was a child.

“I began building bluebird houses when I was 15,” he says.

Now 65, his home is filled with memorabilia from a career and volunteer activities dedicated to the environment. Photographs, duck decoys, plaques and awards line the walls and shelves of the house that began its life in the early 1920s as a granary.

His uncle bought the farm after the Second World War, and Scott moved there with his family in 1976. When he undertook an addition in 1983, he discovered walls filled with oats.

The modest home reflects the man who lives there.

Those bluebird nest boxes? He built and set out 2,000 of them over 12 years and is now the longest continuous bluebird trail operator in Canada.

He obtained a federal bird banding permit in 1968 and has since banded more than 30,000 birds, including 8,000 mountain bluebirds and 12,000 tree swallows.

His work with the Whooping Crane Conservation Association has been recognized since 1974, and he has been involved with so many organizations they can’t all be listed.

Scott says he isn’t quite sure how he developed this abiding appreciation for wildlife and the environment.

“At that time you were a weirdo,” he said of his young self.

“But growing up on the farm, there was no TV in the early years, and whether you were getting cows or fixing fence, the birds were always there.”

He applied for a job at what was then the Saskatchewan Museum of Natural History in Regina right off the farm and was hired as an apprentice. The salary in 1967 was a whopping $1 per hour and he collected trees for exhibits.

He became a park naturalist at Wascana Centre Authority in Regina in 1975, a position he resigned in 1991.

The proposal in the late 1980s to build the Rafferty and Alameda dams in southeastern Saskatchewan galvanized him to give provincial politics a try.

He had had success working with the Progressive Conservative government of the day to implement the Wild-

life Habitat Protection Act after the previous NDP government had put all the province’s crown land up for sale.

However, the dams were going to flood significant habitat and farmland, and attempts to co-operate on that issue were less successful.

He received death threats for his opposition to the projects and was called an uneducated farmer while appearing at a hearing in Ottawa.

He was elected the NDP MLA for Indian Head-Wolseley in 1991, and after being re-elected in 1995, served as environment minister for four years until his defeat.

Scott lists conservation easement legislation, a new forestry act and including species-at-risk regulations in the provincial wildlife act as his ministerial legacy.

At least two of those issues are now in play after the federal government turned its community pastures over to the province, which is leasing or selling them to patrons.

Scott, currently the reeve of his rural municipality and conservation director for Nature Saskatchewan, says there is never a shortage of issues and sometimes he wonders about the efforts of people like him.

“In reality, we’re far worse off now biodiversity-speaking than we were 40 years ago,” he said.

He might have been credited with the return of the bluebird, but the population has been dropping since the mid-1990s.

Three-quarters of bird species are declining around the world.

He said habitat loss is largely the reason.

Wetlands are drained and farms get larger as shelter belts decline, and Scott worries about the future. He said nearly 80 percent of the natural landscape is gone in southern Saskatchewan.

Memberships in conservation organizations are dwindling. They used to be mostly rural, and that population is declining along with the birds.

“We have a big job ahead of us,” he said. “I don’t have an answer. It’s going to take a whole refocus of society as a whole.”

Scott’s contributions have already been recognized. His awards include the highest honours: the Saskatchewan Order of Merit and the Order of Canada.

“Awards are great, but finding bluebirds is much better,” says the father and grandfather.

He will continue to look, and he will continue to farm.

“I plan to stay here and farm until it’s not fun anymore or until my junk quits,” he said.

JOHANNE ROSS | AGRICULTURE IN THE CLASSROOM

Teaching kids about farming started as a one-woman show

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

M

illions of people are terrified of public speaking, but Johanne Ross is not one of them. While addressing 20 teachers at a professional development workshop held at the Bruce D. Campbell Farm and Food Discovery Centre south of Winnipeg, Ross naturally changed the tenor of her voice to retain the attention of her audience and moved fluidly from segment to segment in her presentation.

As executive director of Agriculture in the Classroom Manitoba, Ross has delivered many sales pitches for her organization, but her enthusiasm brightened the postlunch atmosphere in the 10 by 15 metre room.

Ross’s passion for her topic has served her well over the last 13 years because Ag in the Classroom Manitoba has expanded by leaps and bounds during her tenure. It now reaches more than 30,000 students in the province every year.

Ag in the Classroom’s mission is to enhance the awareness of agriculture in Manitoba’s schools so that teachers and students better understand food production, the agricultural industry and career opportunities in the field.

It’s often hard to measure the impact of awareness programming, but based on enrolment at the University of Manitoba, it appears the program is making a difference.

Since 2003, the number of undergraduates in the university’s agricultural diploma and degree programs has doubled, growing from 250 to 500 students.

Other factors have played a role, but this fall Brian Amiro, associate dean of academics for the agriculture department, directly credited Ag in the Classroom for boosting enrolment in the faculty.

“The faculty thinks that Ag in the Classroom has really had a strong role in increasing awareness in young children about where their food comes from,” said Sue Clayton, community liaison co-ordinator for the agriculture faculty.

Trish Jordan, Monsanto Canada’s public affairs director, said Ag in the Classroom is making a difference in Manitoba, thanks to Ross’s exuberant personality.

“If I was going to choose any word to describe Johanne, I would use passionate,” said Jordan, president of Ag in the Classroom Manitoba.

“That doesn’t mean that people before her didn’t have that same capability, but Johanne certainly has a unique ability to communicate about agriculture and help people see what a great place it is to be.”

Sitting at a table inside the Farm and Food Discovery Centre, Ross explained how she wound up working at her current job, even though she didn’t grow up on a farm.

“My dad was with United Grain Growers, so we had

agriculture in our home. There were five of us kids in our family, and we all ended up taking our ag degree,” said Ross, who grew up in Brandon and Winnipeg.

However, there was a time when Ross considered a different career path. In Grade 12, she applied for the faculty of education at the U of M, but a visit to an agricultural trade show with her siblings and exposure to the varied opportunities in the field convinced her to apply to the faculty of agriculture.

While at the U of M, Ross met a young farmer from Minnedosa, Man., who would become her husband. The two settled on his farm and Ross began her career in the agricultural industry, working in crop inputs and the feed business before taking time off to start a family. Once her two boys reached school age, Ross wanted to re-enter the workforce and she came across a job ad for Ag in the Classroom.

“It was just me, a one-woman show,” Ross said, recalling how she started with Ag in the Classroom in 2000.

“I now am full time… and I have five full-time staff….

Our budget is probably 10 fold bigger than when I started.”

Only a few months into her new job, Ross had an “aha” moment that changed the direction of the ag awareness organization. Up till then, the program had simply submitted curriculum material to school divisions and teachers in the hope that educators would incorporate the agricultural information into their classrooms.

“You’d send it out, but you weren’t sure if was being used or gathering dust,” she said.

Ross realized she needed to move beyond a passive approach and take the story of agriculture directly to students.

“The message has to be personal. They (students) have to talk to people in the industry, from the farmer to the different (professions),” she said.

Ross came up with a program called Amazing Grains, where students were taken to a farm and shown the steps of growing a plant such as wheat and turning it into flour.

“It was its first of its kind for Manitoba and beyond,” Ross said.

“We were bringing students out into the field to go

through these different stations and learn about what agriculture is and how it should matter to them.”

Ross hasn’t looked back since that first foray into outreach. Amazing Grains has evolved into a program called the Amazing Agriculture Adventure, and she also has established several other initiatives, including the Made in Manitoba Breakfast.

Funded with the help of a $250,000 grant from Monsanto, the breakfast program stops at dozens of Manitoba schools every year. Farmers and other volunteers serve the breakfast and students receive a meal while learning a little about the people who produced the bacon and pancakes on their plates.

The message has to be personal. They (students) have to talk to people in the industry, from the farmer to the different (professions).

“Not only do the kids get to eat, which is a winner, but they really make that connection (to the farm),” Ross said.

“And it becomes a pride event for our industry. The volunteers are feeling the pride about going out and telling their story … because the kids are thanking them for producing the food.”

Ag in the Classroom programming also improves awareness about Canada’s ag industry, which has struggled to attract qualified people in recent years.

Clayton said events such as the Made in Manitoba Breakfast make a difference because it’s important to connect with students several times during the kindergarten to Grade 12 period.

“If we can reach students three, four or five times throughout

their time in the school system … by the time they are thinking about what to do for a career, agriculture is on their radar.”

She can’t take all the credit, but Ross is proud that agricultural enrollment numbers have rebounded at the U of M. “Being an Aggie, it broke my heart hearing that the numbers were going down.”

Looking beyond Manitoba, Ross is hopeful that Agriculture in the Classroom will become a national program. At the moment, there is just an association of provincial organizations.

“To be recognized … and get the support of some of those global funders, we need to be national,” Ross said.

Ross also said it’s time to rectify the institutional bias against agriculture in Manitoba.

For instance, agriculture isn’t part of the kindergarten to Grade 12 curriculum in the province and there are barriers that prevent university graduates who hold an agricultural degree from going into teaching.

“You can’t even be recognized with your ag degree to go into education (in Manitoba),” she said.

“Until it’s recognized in the academic field and from the government … we’re not in curriculum…. That’s something we need to be talking about with our government people. It needs to be in there.”

Technotill Seeding System: Direct seeding into sod Greg Selzler owns a mixed farming operation near Mayerthorpe, Alta. He used Technotill in 2010 to direct seed cereals and rye into hay land, pasture, cereal and canola stubble fields.

Selzler’s operation includes a cow-calf herd, commercial hay sales and cereal crops. His land is classified as grey wooded soil but includes areas of peat, sandy loam, heavy clay, gumbo and rocks. Normal rainfall is 14-16 inches but the spring of 2010 was dry, and rainfall during the growing season was below average.

When Selzler considers seeding equipment, he has a number of priorities.

“I want rapid, even germination in the spring so the crop is evenly ripened for harvest. Being able to direct seed into hay land and pasture is essential for my operation to efficiently manage our crop rotation, reduce seeding costs and manpower requirements, and maximize returns for our cattle operation. And, I want a smooth field finish.

“In the longer term, I want to improve the soil quality on my farm. Reducing tillage is one strategy to accomplish that goal.”

In April 2010, Selzler installed the Technotill Seeding System on his heavy duty Flexicoil 800 air seeder. He chose the knock-on opener with Bourgault Tillage Tools 3/4 inch knife to direct seed into sod.

While seeding his own land and doing custom seeding for neighbours, he tried a number of applications with his new equipment: Direct seeding hay land sprayed in fall 2009; Direct seeding hay and pasture sprayed in

spring 2010; Late summer direct seeding hay land sprayed after harvesting a second cut; Seeding newly broken land; Pasture rejuvenation; Late summer seeding to extend grazing options for cattle; and Seeding into cereal and canola stubble.

“Despite extremely dry conditions this spring, germination across all the seeded acreage was even and rapid. It took fewer hours to seed the crop. I don’t miss all those extra operations we used to do to get sod fields ready to seed.

“Spraying hay land in the fall is certainly a better practice because there is more time for plants to decompose before seeding. However, crop direct seeded into newly sprayed sod emerged well.

“Generally, there was minimal disturbance and the sod is rotting down already. Fescue didn’t rip into large lumps. Some fields were rolled, with no apparent effect on emergence. It seems like the roller runs on the edges of the furrow and doesn’t compress extra soil over the seed row.

“Rejuvenating pasture and late summer/fall seeding to extend the grazing season for our cattle is a real advantage for our operation.

“Technotill was a cost effective retrofit for my seeding equipment. It’s a simple system that did the job for me in all kinds of conditions. I’m happy with my choice.”

JOE FAFARD | ARTIST

Revealing the link between man and nature

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

J

oe Fafard grew up feeding chickens, slopping pigs and milking cows. In return, the animals fed the family of 12 children. That relationship figures large in Fafard’s career as one of Canada’s finest sculptors.

His lifelike bronze sculptures of animals are admired and desired by many.

He says he doesn’t know exactly why they are so popular, but he hopes admirers get what he’s trying to express.

It goes back to the family farm at Ste. Marthe, Sask., near Rocanville.

“The animal is an extension of ourselves,” said the softspoken artist, sitting in his Pense, Sask., studio and foundry.

“We knew its quirks and its personality. We built a rapport. And, of course, we killed them, too. If you as a child are exposed to all that, and are observant, you have an empathy with them.”

Fafard believes animals have a consciousness suited to their species and are aware of themselves and fellow creatures.

This does not make him a vegetarian.

“I’m just trying to say that we are all connected and we cannot live independently of nature. We ought to take good care of nature as much as we should take care of ourselves.”

Perhaps that is what people feel when they gaze into the eyes of a Fafard cow. He said the immediate response from people suggests something is at work.

“In a way they’re responding to their own desires in terms of how they want to communicate with the animals,” he said.

The cows in particular have worked their way into people’s hearts, and Fafard said the symbiotic relationship we have with them must play a role.

However, the sculptures most in demand are his small works of people. From prime ministers such as Pierre Trudeau to artists like Diego Rivera to ordinary people in Fafard’s life, the figurative clay sculptures are so lifelike the subjects seem like they could easily rise from their chairs or speak out loud.

In his studio, Fafard’s father leans forward in a chair, seemingly ready to offer advice.

The artist has his favourite piece at home.

In the early 1970s, when he moved to Pense, he met George Smith, who had come to the Prairies from

Newfoundland and was already elderly.

“When I did the piece it was a study into a character,” he said.

He sold it to Smith’s family for $400 and was told he would get it back when Smith died. That didn’t happen, and the piece was sold.

Last year, Fafard attended a Toronto art fair and was surprised to see it for sale. “ I bo u g ht i t ba c k f o r $65,000,” he said with a rueful smile.

Fafard originally thought An unfinished sculpture he would paint and draw, of the famous Mexican but in his third year of a painter Diego Rivera at fine arts degree at the UniJoe Fafard’s Pense, Sask., versity of Manitoba he studio. | KAREN BRIERE PHOTO discovered sculpture.

He obtained a master’s degree from Pennsylvania State University in 1968, and then taught at the University of Regina until 1974.

He shifted from clay to bronze in 1985 and established the Julienne Atelier in Pense, where he now employs 10 people. His mother, Julienne, made papier-mâché cows and encouraged her son to develop his talent.

Now living on an acreage north of Regina, the father of five said he hasn’t considered living anywhere other than Saskatchewan.

“It’s the most beautiful place in the world,” he said.

He finds inspiration everywhere and makes art for himself above all.

“Sometimes I don’t give them up,” he said of his sculptures.

Working in bronze, he is able to cast a piece to keep.

Working in clay, there is only one.

“You make art to satisfy your curiosity,” he said. “It’s one thing to make money but it’s a much better thing to pursue your inquiring mind. I’m not any more talented than any other artists. I just kept at it longer.”

Many would argue that point. Fafard has received numerous awards and honours for his work, including being named an officer of the Order of Canada in 1981 and to the Saskatchewan Order of Merit in 2002.

His work continues to be seen in exhibitions and galleries around the world, and earlier this year people across Canada could all afford to buy a little piece of it.

In February, Canada Post issued four million stamps with three of his most famous works, including a bronze cow entitled Smoothly She Shifted.

The animal is an extension of ourselves. We knew its quirks and its personality. We built a rapport. And, of course, we killed them, too.

If you as a child are exposed to all that, and are observant, you have an empathy with them.

SIMON POTTER | PRODUCT INNOVATION MANAGER

Spinning crop fibres into gas tanks

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

C

anadian farmers haven’t come close to tapping the tremendous potential of crop fibre, which is why Simon Potter moved to Winnipeg two years ago.

Assuming the biocomposite industry reaches its potential, Potter envisions a future in which flax and hemp growers will receive true value for the fibres inside those crops.

In this future, a flax grower from Melita, Man., may see much more than flaxseed a few years from now when he looks over his field.

“Not only is this my oilseed field, it’s also my Hyundai Sonata field, this is my MacDon tractor field and this is my Bell helicopter field,” said Potter, sector manager for product innovation with the Composites Innovation Centre (CIC), a Winnipeg non-profit that develops novel materials for the aerospace, transportation and infrastructure industries.

Potter is trying to ensure that flax, hemp, wheat and other agricultural fibres have consistent quality so that manufacturers can turn them into consistent products.

“Our agricultural producers sit on a vast resource that is not optimally used yet,” Potter said from behind his desk inside CIC, a sparkling materials laboratory and office space that opened in southwestern Winnipeg in 2012.

“You can get everything from medicines to functional foods to building materials from the same resource, if you handle it appropriately.”

Other scientists in Canada are focused on the medicines and nutritional benefits that can be derived from crops, but Potter’s passion is materials.

After earning a PhD in materials science from the University of Edinburgh, Potter emigrated to Canada to take a job with what is now FP Innovations, a forest industry research centre in Vancouver, where he specialized in material quality assessment at the molecular level.

After seven years in that role and another seven years in Australia, where he also conducted research on wood fibres, Potter came to Winnipeg in 2010 to take on a new challenge with CIC. Potter changed gears because he saw the massive promise of agricultural fibres.

“These biomaterials could be very lucrative.

The market, globally, for composites is in the billions of dollars,” said Potter, who has a plaque on his office wall documenting his U.S. patent for a method to determine wood fibre quality at the genetic level.

“Someone has predicted that probably 30 percent of that market should be open to biomaterials, based on quality and durability.”

CIC executive director Sean McKay recruited Potter to join the Winnipeg centre because it needed someone with an extensive technical background in biomaterials. However, Potter also arrived with a trait that many scientists

“If he was a real scientist-scientist, you’d be scratching your head to figure out what he is (trying) to do,” McKay said.

“He has the ability to (explain) it and give a clarity to it, so it makes sense not only the scientific community but to the funding agencies

and the media.”

CIC was founded about a decade ago because Boeing and other aerospace industries in Winnipeg were already doing research on composite materials.

The biomaterial experts at CIC have developed innovative biocomposites that are lighter

and more environmentally friendly than conventional materials such as fibreglass.

During a tour earlier this year, Potter pointed out hemp and flax components developed or in development at the centre, including the front end of an electric car, a motorcycle gas tank and an engine hood for a MacDon swather.

CIC scientists have also met in the past year with representatives of Ford and Hyundai, who want to use biocomposites for car components.

For example, Hyundai may use hemp and flax fibres to make wheel arches for its popular Sonata sedan.

But before that happens, Potter and others at CIC need to answer a critical question: can flax and hemp growers in Western Canada consistently produce high quality fibres?

“We know you can produce quality stuff with these (bio) materials,” Potter said.

“What we don’t know … is can you do this 10 million times over the next 10 years? Because we’re going to be producing hundreds of thousands of vehicles with this in it.”

Automobile manufacturers might want to use a hood made from hemp to reduce the weight of their cars, but they won’t be happy if one hood out of 1,000 turns to mush when it hails.

Potter said options are available to solve the consistency challenge, including one that seems futuristic but is actually feasible.

“This is the vision: to have an unmanned aerial vehicle flying over a field of flax with a hyperspectral imaging camera on it, telling you what the quality of those fibres are,” he said.

“It will tell you if a field … is suitable for the Hyundai Sonata.”

The biocomposites industry faces other technological obstacles as well, but CIC scientists are working with scientists and facilities in the United States and Canada to overcome them.

They are collaborating with the Canadian Light Source synchrotron in Saskatoon to study the molecular structure of flax and hemp fibres and working with Genome Canada to understand the genetic aspects of flax fibre.

CIC joined forces with institutions and companies in North Dakota and Minnesota earlier this year to form a non-profit called the Great Plains Bioproducts Consortium. That’s because researchers in those states have expertise in the other component of biocomposites: natural resins.

“There’s a great complementary to what we’re doing in Manitoba and what they’re doing in North Dakota and Minnesota,” Potter said.

The consortium will hopefully become a onestop shop for manufacturers who want to use bioproducts instead of conventional materials.

Potter sees a future for the Canadian Prairies, North Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin to become a world leader in the biomaterials sector.

McKay said hemp and flax growers may soon see financial returns from a thriving and global biomaterials industry.

“I think we’re about two years away from some major utilization … which may, depending on the utilization, provide a very a good return for farmers (that grow) flax or annual hemp,” he said.

“They could (become) a crop of choice.”

WILF KELLER | CROP RESEARCHER

From speck to success

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

W

ilf Keller helped transform genetically modified canola from a green speck in a petri dish into the biggest moneymaker in Canadian agriculture.

A technology that is now incorporated into 21 million acres of canola got its start in 1985 in the obscure Agriculture Canada lab he ran in Ottawa.

Canola generated $7.3 billion in farm cash receipts in 2011, which is more than any other crop or livestock category.

According to the Canola Council of Canada, almost all of Canada’s canola acres are seeded to genetically modified varieties that have evolved from that green speck in Keller’s petri dish.

Keller grew up on a mixed farm near Melville, Sask., and graduated from the University of Saskatchewan in 1972 with a doctoral degree in crop science.

He did postdoctoral work in Germany and was then hired as a research scientist by Agriculture Canada, where he set up a new area of research using cell and in vitro tissue culture methods.

“When I got hired there, the term biotechnology didn’t really exist yet,” said Keller.

His first long-term project laid the groundwork for the discovery of herbicide tolerant canola.

Keller was culturing pollen from male canola plants and tricking the microspores into growing into a plant without mating with a female cell.

“It would be like getting an animal out of a sperm cell,” he said. “ You have only the paternal set of genetic information and you can select much more easily for desired traits.”

Senior management at Agriculture Canada recognized the potential of Keller’s work and appointed him to head a team of four scientists that would pioneer double haploid breeding technology for brassica species, which seed technology companies still use.

The technology allowed breeders to cut out several generations of field work, vastly reducing the time needed to commercialize varieties.

“Instead of 10 years, you might get a variety in seven,” said Keller.

Kutty Kartha, former director general of the National Research Council’s Plant Biotechnology Institute, said double haploid technology is an exceptional breeding tool.

“That is one of Wilf’s major contributions and he got very good recognition for that,” he said.

It was also the foundation for the creation of the world’s first GM canola plant.

Keller’s research attracted the attention of Maurice Delage, a former college buddy who was president of Hoechst AG, a German chemical company that through various mergers and acquisitions became AgrEvo, Aventis and then Bayer CropScience.

Delage visited Keller’s Ottawa lab in 1985, “snooping around” for a program that could help his company develop the world’s first herbicide tolerant canola.

Hoechst had a gene it had isolated from a bacterium that conferred resistance to the chemical that would become Liberty.

Keller showed Delage the thousands of embryos he had in petri dishes, which was part of his double haploid work.

The company immediately dispatched one of its young German scientists to work with Keller in Ottawa. The two researchers used a blender to macerate the tissue derived from the canola microspores and create a plant material sludge.

The sludge was infected with the bacterium that carried the gene for herbicide tolerance. It was then treated with the herbicide, which killed everything except cells that had adopted the beneficial gene.

“There was one green spot in one petri plate and we regenerated that plant,” said Keller. “We got this plant and it was sprayed and it was resistant in the greenhouse.”

Keller joined the NRC’s Plant Biotechnology Institute in 1989 as group leader for canola biotechnology research. Hoechst followed him to Saskatoon, where they completed the development work on GM canola.

Innovator canola was field tested in 1991 and commercialized with a small group of farmers in 1995. Widespread adoption of the technology had occurred by 1997, prompting concerns from the public and the media.

Keller became the go-to-guy for fielding media calls, even though he wasn’t part of commercializing Innovator canola.

His first big interview in 1997 with CBC TV’s The National didn’t

There was a rich environment in Agriculture Canada in those days to do this kind of work, where you would explore a biological process that might not have immediate relevance. go well, and Keller decided he had better get media training.

Keller then toured the country to educate people about the science of biotechnology by condensing years of research into bite-sized bits of information.

“It was a whole other world, knowing how to answer something in 30 seconds or a minute at most and explain it in a way where you’re not using jargon,” said Keller.

Kartha said Keller’s interpersonal and communication skills were two of his biggest strengths aside from his research ability.

“Most scientists, although they can communicate, they use jargon and they get lost, whereas Wilf communicates in simple terms so ordinary people on the street can understand what he’s talking about.”

Kartha said Keller got to the point where he enjoyed debating people about the technology.

Keller’s contributions to the canola industry didn’t stop with GM canola.

In his role as research director and eventually acting director general of PBI, he oversaw a genomics program that shed light on the development of canola seeds.

He believes genomics will be a more powerful breeding tool than double haploid technology and lead to a multitude of new useful crop traits for farmers.

“This will be transformational. I think it will allow for the development of varieties down the road that will have highly desirable, superior features.”

He anticipates that genomic-based plant breeding will be

commonplace by as early as 2025 because the cost of sequencing a genome is rapidly declining.

Keller was courted by the private sector but remained in the public research stream for his entire career.

“He liked to work for the federal government, the public sector.

There was more freedom and excellent laboratory facilities,” said Kartha.

Keller cherished the ability to conduct foundational research early in his career.

“There was a rich environment in Agriculture Canada in those days to do this kind of work, where you would explore a biological process that might not have immediate relevance,” he said.

He doesn’t believe he could have been part of the same research advancements in today’s world, which is focused on short-term research projects that can be quickly commercialized.

“Maybe I wouldn’t have had the timelines that were given to me in 1970 to go ahead and work for five years before somebody asked too many questions, which is basically what happened.”

Keller retired from PBI in 2008 and became president of Genome Prairie. He is now serving as president of Ag-West Bio, a non-profit group helping to advance Saskatchewan’s bioscience industry.

However, he misses the excitement of research discovery, such as playing a key role in transforming a green speck in a petri dish into a multibillion-dollar crop.

“I had the privilege of watching (that unfold) from that first plant in a small obscure laboratory in Ottawa,” said Keller.

DAVID CHALACK | VETERINARIAN

A leader and a catalyst for change

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

V

eterinarian David Chalack has travelled the world promoting Canadian livestock genetics, but he has never forgotten he comes from a farm near Cochrane, Alta. Chalack is a member of the Canadian Agricultural Hall of Fame and earned the Queen’s Jubilee Medal for a lifetime of achievements, but for him it all started at his family’s dairy farm.

David Chalack stands beside Alberta premier Alison Redford during a press conference discussing the closure of XL Foods at Brooks, Alta., following an outbreak of E. coli contamination.

Chalack is chair of the Alberta Livestock and Meat Agency and also co-owns Rocky Mountain Holsteins at Cochrane, Alta.

Chalack likes to show cattle from Rocky Mountain Holsteins, which he co-owns with Glenn Hockley and Doug Blair. This young female was shown at Toronto’s Royal Agricultural Winter Fair this fall and was awarded the ribbon for best bred and owned, as well as best udder in the class. | BARBARA DUCKWORTH PHOTOS

He was born in Calgary and his parents, Sam a Margaret Chalack, started Ultra Holsteins in and 1954. It was originally a commercial dairy, and he remembers travelling to Carstairs, Alta., as a seven-year-old with his father to buy four purebred bred heifers from Acme Holsteins.

“They had one of the best herds of the day,” he said.

Chalack’s family farm is now the site of Rocky Mountain Holsteins, owned with friends and partners Doug Blair and Glenn Hockley. They raise elite Holsteins that are known throughout the dairy world.

“We are proud to have bred and owned some of the best cows in North America,” he said.

They hold a production sale at the farm every July, featuring a pancake breakfast, western hospitality and the chance to bid on some of the best from Rocky Mountain and consignors.

The sales tent is packed and cattle have sold for six figures.

It has been a fast-paced career, which Chalack attributes to his decision to become a veterinarian.

He attended a one room school house in Bearspaw, west of Calgary, for three years before transferring to Cochrane. There were six people in his high school graduating class.

Enrolling at the University of Alberta opened up his world. He was suddenly in a big city and a large university with 350 people in a class. He advises all parents to push their children off the farm.

“I think it is really important that they promote two things to their kids. They can achieve whatever they want and have a great business and lifestyle in agriculture, but they should go away to go to school,” he said.

He was studying animal science but was interested in veterinary medicine. He was accepted at the University of Saskatchewan’s Western College of Veterinary Medicine during his third year at the U of A and graduated in 1975.

His first job was with Moore and Company Veterinary Clinic in Calgary, where he eventually became a partner.

“That decision to go into veterinary medicine was a watershed moment,” he said.

“Being a veterinarian has really set the stage for so much of what I have been able to experience and appreciate and achieve.”

His main interest was bovine reproduction, and he joined a group of early adopters of embryo transplant technology.

“Calgary was the epicenter of embryo transfer on the exotic b re e d s w i t h b i g prices,” he said.

Work started at 4:30 a.m. in those early days.

Cows were anesthetized and placed on their backs on a surgical table to recover embryos in a hot room.

“We thought they had to be heated to about 100 degrees for the viability of the eggs. We were sweating and the cows were under general anesthetic,” he said.

“It wasn’t necessary if you look at how it is done today. It’s all done non-surgical.”

Cows were super-ovulated and released two to 20 eggs, similar to what is achieved now. Experiments conducted by veterinarians in private practice from 1975-80 perfected the techniques of non-surgical retrieval.

Ultra Holsteins had the first registered embryo transplant bull at Holstein Canada. It was classified as excellent.

Around that time, Chalack started working with Doug Blair, a neighbour who built Western Breeders Service in Balzac, north of Calgary.

“He started with a couple of trailers and built it into a globally recognized company called Alta Genetics,” Chalack said.

It has production facilities in Wisconsin, Brazil and the Calgary region, but the head office remains at Balzac.

Chalack joined the company in 1988 and bought shares when it was publicly traded. He headed the embryo and live cattle division and eventually took over managing international markets.

“Because I was interested in reproduction, it was really a good link with Alta because we were about reproduction and the efficient management and

profitability of large dairy herds,” he said.

The company had an international focus from the beginning, and Chalack was involved in teaching embryo transfer to veterinarians from the former Soviet Union. He also made numerous trips to the region, delivering cattle and providing technical support.

Chalack also spent time in China with the Canadian International Development Agency, setting up dairy farms in the late 1970s and 1980s.

Alta Genetics now exports to 80 countries, and as an international sales manager, Chalack has visited many of them, spreading his own brand of bonhomie wearing a big smile and a black cowboy hat.

“You find that people all over the world are great.

They have the same needs and they love their families and they want to have good education for their kids and they want to be healthy,” he said.

“I think people need to travel. When you think global economy and you stay at home and you don’t get out and about, you are really disadvantaged.”

Chalack started to make time for volunteer activities once his career was established. He made a deal with Alta Genetics in which the company would receive half his time and the rest would be devoted to volunteering.

“I believe very much in networking. The more people you can meet, you always learn something from them,” he said.

He is an accredited Holstein judge and has evaluated cattlein15countries.He wasa20yearvolunteer with 4-H until 2005.

I had no hesitation. I saw a very fragmented industry and I saw the opportunity that an organization like ALMA with a competency-based board could do.

He was also a long-time volunteer with the Calgary Stampede, joining the board of directors in 2005 and later elected to the executive. That put him in line for the presidency from 2009-11, a momentous time because he was included in Stampede centennial celebrations.

Chalack was also interested in governance and gained certification through the Canadian Institute of Corporate Directors, which opened up more opportunities to sit on other boards, including the Canadian Livestock Genetics Exporters Association, Horse Racing Alberta, Calgary Zoo and Alberta Ingenuity Centre for Livestock Genomics.

He is also chair of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s ministerial advisory board.

“All these things seemed to multiply,” he said.

“If you understand good governance, then you add value at the board table, which is really a leadership role of setting strategic direction.”

In 2010, premier Ed Stelmach and agriculture minister Jack Hayden appointed Chalack chair of the Alberta Livestock and Meat Agency.

The agency was controversial from the start. Parts of the Alberta beef sector opposed the concept of one large agency, but he saw it as a challenge.

“I had no hesitation. I saw a very fragmented industry and I saw the opportunity that an organization like ALMA with a competency based board could do.”

He believes organizations see its value now.

“I really see the mood in Alberta changing,” he said.

“What is more impactful on a national basis, people in the industry across this country truly see ALMA as a leader and a catalyst. That is very gratifying.”

Chalack has also found time to pay

his education forward by joining the dean’s advisory council for the University of Calgary’s veterinary college.

Students from the school have worked at Alta Genetics and at his farm.

Rocky Mountain Holsteins is still at the centre of his life. Staff manage it, but he is a regular presence to check the cows and discuss plans.

Even though he and his wife, Joanne, are grandparents to two boys, there are no plans to coast to the finish line.

He still likes to show cattle and there are more opportunities to seek and more friends to make.

“I am always looking for opportunities and I love getting up in the morning because there is so much to do.

The days fly by,” he said.

He has also made friends in politics and the energy business. He is based in Alberta but believes in Canada.

“We have to encourage trade and we have to facilitate movement of products between provinces,” he said.

“I am interested in politics and the economy. I hope that Canada can continue to grow into one of the best nations in the world because we have everything here, fresh water, resources, talented people and all kinds of space.”

Rocky Mountain Holsteins is just west of Calgary and has gained a reputation for producing some of the best dairy cows in North America.

Owned by David Chalack, Doug Blair and Glenn Hockley, the farm is Chalack’s original home.

ANNE DUNFORD | LIVESTOCK MARKET ANALYST

From greenhorn to mentor, it’s been a great job

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

W

hen Anne Dunford walks up to a microphone, she flashes a 1,000 watt smile and her audience waits in anticipation for her latest joke before they hear the serious facts about where livestock markets are heading.

Dunford has emerged as Canada’s leading livestock market analyst, a skill she learned at Canfax under the tutelage of some of the industry greats.

Born and raised in British Columbia’s Fraser Valley, where her father, Gordon Souter, was head of the B.C. Artificial Insemination Centre and a keen 4-H supporter, Dunford participated in all that the youth organization had to offer, including honing her public speaking skills.

She enrolled in agricultural and equine studies at Grant MacEwan College in Edmonton and was hired after graduation in 1981 as an office assistant, working with Don Saynor of the

Alberta Cattle Feeders Association.

She moved down the hall in 1982 to the Alberta Cattle Commission to work as a market reporter, doing radio and telephone recordings for producers.

The industry was about to make a giant leap forward as feeding and packing businesses moved from Ontario to Alberta.

Alberta fed less than one million cattle a year in the early 1980s, but by 2001 that had increased to 2.5 million. Most feeding took place in central Alberta and few were in the Lethbridge area.

Most livestock was sold on the cash market.

“The luxury of my career so far was that I saw the complete growth of the Alberta feedlot industry,” she said.

Three years later Dunford got a job at Canfax, the market analysis arm of the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association, working with people like Chris Mills and Charlie Gracey, who was the organization’s Ottawa based manager. The office moved to Calgary a few years later when Gracey retired.

Mills and Gracey were among her many mentors, even though they didn’t expect her to last.

“I learned everything from everyone,” she said.

“The joke about when they hired me was that they didn’t know what to do. Canfax was losing money and this greenhorn redhead showed up for this job.… I had to learn a lot of lingo but you

pick it up pretty quick when you are immersed in it.”

It was a time of limited technology in an old-fashioned business in which deals were sealed with a handshake.

Canfax used mail, teletype and telephones to gather the most up-to-date market information.

A Reuters News Agency ticker tape ran all day with market updates.

“If it ever ran out of ink or paper, it would be a hairy conniption fit,” she said.

Weekly market reports were produced every Friday using a Gestetner.

Installing computers in the office and auction markets was a great advance, but it was far from perfect.

It would take up to four hours to download information during the hectic fall feeder runs, when thousands of animals traded daily.

Dunford still had to work the phones all day, building relationships that continue to this day. She never felt like the rose among the thorns.

“The guys treated me so well, and honestly, it just never hit me that I was operating in a man’s world,” she said.

“My entire career has been about the people. They have been so good to me and they are such good people that I guess I earned some trust.”

She watched livestock association presidents grow into their jobs and become great leaders.

“CCA has had wonderful presidents over the years, like Jim Graham from Brooks and other people who took me under their wing and made sure that everything was going OK,” she said.

“How much some of these guys have given to the industry just blows me away, and I don’t know if the grassroots really understands the time that is put in while they are still trying to run an operation at home.”

Dunford’s public speaking tours started gradually. Her policy was to present the facts and let producers make their own decisions. She provides more analysis today because she has gathered enough experience to see the trends.

Information flow is much faster but it is not always useful.

“You still need somebody to stand back and say, ‘this is what it means.’ There is a lot of misinformation out there too, with things moving so quickly,” she said.

“My job is to make sure it is facts out there.”

In 2007 she decided to leave Canfax for a new career with Gateway Livestock at Taber, Alta., where she continued to analyze the markets and work with clients on risk management. She was general manager and now works on a contract basis from her ranch in southwestern Saskatchewan.

She also made time for volunteer activities, including being a sports mom. Her two boys were active in athletics.

She was a volunteer with the Calgary Stampede for 20 years and most recently became a board member with the Alberta Livestock and Meat Agency in 2010.

She is also a mentor with the Cattlemen’s Young Leaders Development Program, working with Kerry Hyatt, who is keen to learn how markets work.

These days she picks and chooses what she wants to do. There is more time for travel, including a recent agricultural trip to Brazil.

However, her first passion continues to be the markets.

“I love market analysis and I love talking to producers,” she said.

“I love public speaking and spending time on the ranch during the busy periods.”

Her analysis work has changed and she has learned to study global trends, currency and grain markets and appreciate the impacts of volatility on all sectors of the beef business.

Markets are never the same from one day to the next, and it is important to stay connected in a world where trading takes place 24 hours a day.

“They get me excited because they are different every single day,” she said.

As a mentor of young people, Dunford is also excited about the future generation, who she said has better skills to handle risk and manage the new style of business.

“I do think the new generation that takes this whole risk management approach will be better,” she said.

“They get my blood going again.”

It has been a lifetime of change, and she said she is ready to take it on because the people she meets give her energy.

“When you write the story about Anne, it is going to be all about the people and how much they taught me along the way. I hope I can give a little bit back,” she said.

There are no retirement plans.

“I am excited about where I am at, my kids are in a great place and I have a great future on the ranch,” she said.

“I’m just in a good place, so who knows where Anne will show up. I am not leaving the business.”

BRIAN FOWLER | PLANT BREEDER

‘In one word, his major contribution is knowledge’

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

T

he story of winter wheat on the Canadian Prairies is really the story of plant breeder Brian Fowler. Fowler entered the prairie winter wheat scene when he was designated head of that program at the University of Saskatchewan’s Crop Development Centre upon its opening in 1971.

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE Winter wheat was virtually unknown at that time, with the exception of southern Alberta. This year, snow is blanketing 1.245 million acres of winter wheat on the Prairies.

The crop has ranged from 500,000 to 1.37 million acres in recent years, depending on weather, soil moisture and markets.

The expansion is largely due to 15 winter wheat varieties that Fowler has released in his career. In many years, his CDC varieties accounted for 95 percent of all winter wheat acres on the Prairies.

However, those numbers don’t reflect Fowler’s true contribution to agriculture, said Lee Moats, a farmer from Riceton Sask., who was also a Ducks Unlimited agrologist for 28 years. Moats worked closely with Fowler on many joint winter wheat initiatives.

“In one word, his major contribution is knowledge.”

He also said Fowler was a key player in developing the zero till production system that farmers use today.

“Fowler was the first person to figure out that the only way you can grow winter wheat in our cold prairie environment is to stubble it in to trap an insulating layer of snow.”

He said Fowler demonstrated to growers that winter wheat management is significantly different than spring wheat.

The crop can exceed 100 bushels per acre in many prairie regions with correct agronomic practices and a small amount of luck from Mother Nature. However, it can be a bust without the right management.

Moats said it’s all about following the recommendations developed by Fowler over 40 years.

Farmers gradually caught onto the fact that winter wheat makes better use of soil moisture as well as time and equipment. Higher yielding genetics can result in yields 25 percent higher than spring wheat.

Those efficiency factors, coupled with the potential for big yields and high profits, have prompted more farmers to seed winter wheat when conditions are right.

However, Fowler said the road to acceptance was a rocky one for winter wheat. It takes 10 to 12 years to bring a new cultivar from early breeding through to registration.

“In the first 15 years, there wasn’t as much competition for funding, so we had time to get the breeding program up and running,” he said.

“But then it became a cat and dog battle to keep funding in place. Our whole winter wheat program here in Saskatchewan would have disappeared by the early ’90s if it hadn’t been for Ducks Unlimited.”

Beginning in the mid-1980s, Fowler battled every budget year to defend the program and continue the breeding and development of management practices.

“His breeding program was in jeopardy, mainly because of unrealized potential. Winter wheat is one of those crops where people thought the big breakthrough was just around the corner,” Moats said.

“But it never materialized in one giant step like that. It was a lot of little steps. And then we were hit with two consecutive years of one-in-50 environmental conditions.”

Growers who seeded winter wheat without following Fowler’s recommendations had the crop explode in their faces in 1985 with severe winterkill and again the following year with rust. Enthusiasm for winter wheat died along with the plants.

In the first 15 years, there wasn’t as much competition for funding, so we had time to get the breeding program up and running. But then it became a cat and dog battle to keep funding in place. Our whole winter wheat program here in Saskatchewan would have disappeared by the early ’90s if it hadn’t been for Ducks Unlimited.

The setback was especially damaging because more than a million acres had been seeded to winter wheat in 1985 and 1986. By 1987, the crop nearly fell off the charts. There were two strikes against winter wheat, and Fowler’s program was near to striking out.

Proponents of other crops wanted to see the winter wheat program end so that those funds could go into their programs.

“Unfortunately, we had some very closed-minded people at the time controlling the strategic funds and grants at Saskatchewan Agriculture,” Moats said. “They turned the table

badly on Brian.”

There were also problems with the CWB and its strict adherence to its kernel visual distinguishability requirements.

“I never did follow the logic behind KVD, but it did cause a lot of problems when it came to registration of winter wheat varieties,” Fowler said.

“I have similar problems when it comes to the General Purpose class.

Farmers in the U.S.A. grow GP cultivars from my program for the human food market, but Canadian farmers can only grow them for feed and fuel, a limitation that continues in our cur-

rent system.”

Two years of crop failure along with bureaucratic pressures nearly put an end to the crop.

Just when it seemed it was all over, a white knight intervened in the form of a federal-provincial program called the Economic Regional Development Agreement. This time fortune was on Fowler’s side.

He received a $1 million grant for agronomic research to continue his winter wheat program.

By using the funding to leverage other funds, he was able to keep the program alive until the early 1990s.

The money gave him the resources to delve into aspects of winter wheat that he had not previously been able to explore.

“Not many people know this, but the information that came out of that $1 million grant is the genesis for all the material we use today in winter wheat agronomy,” he said.

Moats said Fowler’s program has had a side benefit that few people understand.

Highly competent researchers are needed to run research programs.

WESTERN PEOPLE plished agronomists in Western Canada and you’ll see a lot of people who did their graduate studies and post doctorate work under Brian Fowler’s program. That in itself has been a major contribution to agriculture.”

However, the crunch was on again in 1991. Although Fowler earned registration for his first agronomically superior variety, CDC Kestral, that year, it was also the year the CDC board pulled the plug on his program.

Fowler held a strong personal belief that winter wheat had major agronomic and environmental benefits for prairie farmers, but without funding, the program was dead. Bureaucracy turned out to be a bigger threat to winter wheat than rust or winterkill.

Then, in 1992, another white knight appeared. Ducks Unlimited was looking for a way to cover large tracts of the prairie landscape with protective vegetation that would serve as

nesting habitat in the spring when ducks arrive.

Winter wheat met the requirement.

It’s sown in the fall and begins growing before winter arrives. The crop then pops back to life when the snow melts in the spring. By the time the ducks arrive, they see broad expanses of standing wheat plants where they nest with a better chance of hiding from predators.

Fowler explained to Ducks Unlimited that it could never coax farmers to grow winter wheat unless it was a proven profitable crop. To demonstrate that that was the case, they launched a program called Conserve and Win. It was an agricultural extension program with a public relations twist and a few financial incentives.

Conserve and Win organized and packaged all the research and recommendations Fowler had devel-

oped over the years. The program ran from 1992 to 2000, reaching farmers who had never considered growing winter wheat.

The Winter Wheat Production Manual was the backbone of Conserve and Win. Fowler compiled the 15 chapter book based on research that he and collaborating scientists and their students had conducted since the early 1970s.

Formatted as a three ring binder, the manual walks farmers through the intricacies and challenges in every step of winter wheat production. More than 5,000 copies of the manual are in circulation.

It is considered the definitive word on growing winter wheat, and manuals have been ordered by growers in Europe, Syria, South America and across North America.

agronomists, helped establish the Saskatchewan Winter Cereal Growers Association in 1994. Five years later, that organization evolved into Winter Cereals Canada.

Fowler and the association lobbied the federal government to remove bureaucratic obstacles that prevented winter wheat expansion. The government listened.

The final regulatory obstacle to fall was the requirement that winter wheat kernels be visually distinct from spring wheat kernels. This regulation had already prevented many high yielding winter wheat varieties from receiving registration.

“In 2000, the Agricultural Development Fund and the province of Saskatchewan decided to pull the remaining funding for the program. There’s strong competition for research funds, and they wanted to expand the pulse crop pro-

gram,” Fowler said.

“That was frustrating because at the time, 95 percent of the winter wheat acres were seeded to CDC varieties.

We had a mature program with a lot of promising plant material. It was just starting to get back on its feet.

“And once again it was DU that stepped in with enough money that we could wind down the program gradually instead of just stopping cold. I’d always use their money to leverage more money out of other sources.”

Fowler’s winter wheat program is now in the final stage of gradual closure. Work has continued on some of the best cultivars, and he expects two of them will be ready for release soon. Following their release, there will be no future CDC winter wheat varieties.

Fowler is philosophical about having his 40 year program shut down.

He said having four winter wheat development programs on the Prairies may have been too rich.

“Maybe we were stretching the funding too thin with four programs.

It might be better to have three wellfunded programs.”

Although Conserve and Win ended in 2000, Fowler continued working with winter wheat. People beyond the farming community began to see the benefits of winter wheat in the larger picture.

In 2009, Bayer Crop Sciences committed $20 million over five years so Ducks Unlimited can continue its winter wheat involvement. The goal is to see two million acres of sustainable winter wheat on the Prairies by 2014.

With his component of the winter wheat program gone, Fowler is now focusing full-time research attention on cold tolerance in cereals, an area he has pursued for decades.

Winter wheat won’t sur vive if seeded into pulse stubble or summerfallow because not enough snow is trapped. Cracking the cold tolerance genetic code would remove the necessity of snow cover for winter survival.

That in turn would potentially open up millions of new winter wheat acres, give producers more flexibility in their rotations and lower risk.

Fowler also continues to serve as a professor in the U of S’s crop sciences department.

WHAT’S IN A NAME? Brian Fowler has released 15 winter wheat varieties in his career, with two more coming down the pike.

His first two varieties were Fredrick while he worked at Agriculture Canada and Norwin, which he released in Canada for Montana State University.

In recognition of the work they accomplished together, he named his latest variety CDC Moats.

RIGAS KARAMANOS | SOIL SCIENTIST

Here’s a researcher who will always give you his two cents

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

I

f Rigas Karamanos is remembered for only one thing, it would probably be his strict adherence to a stringent scientific approach to research. This dedication is reflected in his famous quote: “In God we trust. All others bring replicated data.”

The soil scientist is also known for a lot of other contributions to fertility management on the Prairies.

His two cent experiment typifies his unique approach to weeding out bad data from valid data and then communicating the truly significant information to farmers.

In replicated trials across all three provinces, Karamanos tossed two pennies into one set of plots and left the control plots penny-less. When it came time to crunch the data, the plots with the two cent treatment had a slight yield advantage over the no-penny plots five percent of the time.

He has used this data over the years to show how careful a producer, researcher or marketing person must be when dealing with data. The two pennies had nothing to do with the yield bumps. Instead, such fluctuations are typical in all data collection and are attributed to normal irregularities always found in research.

He has always cautioned against “cherry picking,” or making choices based on data highs and lows, especially when dealing with fertilizer rates or alternative plant nutrition products.

Karamanos has never shied away from controversial topics. Instead, says Don Flaten, a soil scientist at the University of Manitoba, he dives into sensitive areas with unwavering objective research.

Flaten said Karamanos has presented his research findings at 710 extension meetings and has published 374 research reports in scientific journals since 1982.

“Rigas has taken on some very difficult issues relating to alternative forms of phosphate fertilizer and biological inoculants,” he said.

Research supporting these types of products often had mixed results, Flaten added.

“Rigas wants to make sure that whatever is marketed, be it a product or a practice, has been well-challenged in a rigorous scientific manner.”

That stand sometimes puts Karamanos at odds with the marketers, but Flaten said he wants to make sure that the only products that are promoted are those that are ultimately good for the farmer.

“It’s kind of a tough issue to deal with as an agronomist working for a crop supplies retailer, but Rigas always provides a scientifically sound and informed opinion,” he said.

John Heard, a fertility specialist with Manitoba Agriculture, remembers when Manitoba farmers had become increasingly suspicious of fertilizer guidelines, which had not been updated since 1992 when the provincial soil lab was sold. The old guidelines were based on fields with deep tillage and black summerfallow.

Karamanos, agronomy manager for Viterra, volunteered the massive nitrogen database he had collected while he was agronomy manager for Westco.

“It seemed like an impossible task to make sense out of 250 nitrogen soil studies,” Heard said.

“We tried a few things and talked to some people who we thought could handle the project, but there was no progress. It seemed impossible. We nearly gave up.

“Then in 2008, Rigas said he’d like to give it a try. Amazingly, he crunched the numbers and came back to us with a nitrogen calculator that was relevant to our current farming practices.”

The interactive program developed by Karamanos gives a producer the option of changing fertilizer sources, costs, commodity prices and nitrogen rates. In an instant, the calculator gives the user the economic consequences of each decision.

Karamanos has since expanded his Manitoba nitrogen calculator to include Saskatchewan and Alberta. There are two calculators for the brown soil zone, one for stubble and one for fallow. The dark brown and parkland soil zones each have their own nitrogen calculators.

Once the nitrogen work was completed to his satisfaction, he turned his attention to a phosphorus calculator, which he released last year.

“The phosphorus calculator is universal,” Karamanos said. “It doesn’t relate to soil zones. Last year I turned it over to the Canola Council (of Canada) for their website.… These things are of no value being stuck someplace. It took me years and years to finally convince Viterra to put the nitrogen calculator up on the website.”

His recent work in anhydrous ammonia retention typifies his produceroriented approach to research rather than a purely academic approach.

Karamanos wanted to see if anhydrous ammonia was more likely to be lost if applied at certain points on the calendar. His conclusion is that it doesn’t matter when anhydrous is applied in well drained soil.

“We applied anhydrous Sept. 19-21. Then we applied anhydrous Oct. 19-21.

And finally we applied it in the spring,” he said.

“After four years of data, we got the same yield regardless of when the anhydrous was applied. That gives farmers a much bigger window for their anhydrous ammonia applications.”

“Rigas was the first researcher to take micronutrients seriously. Until then, micronutrients were viewed by both farmers and scientists as elements of a mysterious pixie dust,” Heard said.

“When he began studying micronutrients in 1985, he completely removed the mystery for all of us. I think today most farmers have a good knowledge of how micronutrients impact their crops.”

Karamanos never shied away from too much data, according to Cindy Grant, a soil researcher at Agriculture Canada’s research centre in Brandon. She said farmers often ask why people like her and Karamanos need so much data before making a recommendation.

“It’s because there is so much variability in a field or even in a plot. There’s explainable variability and non-explainable variability,” she said.

“But you can’t throw out the non-explainable variability. That data may hold the answer you’re looking for. That’s what Rigas does best. He tries to understand which numbers are real and which are not real.

“And that’s why researchers like us are so anal about having six years of data from four replications at a dozen sites. That’s all necessary to give farmers good information.”

She said Karamanos has always been at the forefront of explaining to agronomists and producers that if they don’t have a large database upon which to make recommendations, then they have nothing.

“If you’ve never conducted research, you don’t know the wide variations you get in results. It’s normal to get extremes,” he said.

“Those extremes lead to cherry picking. People selling a particular product have a tendency to focus on the numbers that support their point of view.

Extremes at the opposite end are tossed out as unexplainable variables.”

Grant said Karamanos has always challenged the fallacy of cherry picking data. His two penny study is a good example of how data can be manipulated, she added.

“It’s especially true when you’re dealing with trace elements or some of the miracle products where responses tend to be smaller and more varied. In those situations, if you throw out the numbers you don’t understand, then you truly are manipulating the data.

“People don’t realize that sometimes a non-response is really the valid number you need for an honest result. A non-response can mean the crop already has enough of whatever it is you’re applying.”

TED ‘T BAR’ SERHIENKO | PUBLISHER, CATTLE PRODUCER, AUCTIONEER, SHOW JUDGE

Meet the busiest guy in the cattle ring

BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

H

e was born Ted Serhienko, but most in the business call him T Bar. Widely recognized and warmly greeted by newcomers and veterans alike in the cattle industry, he’s been a fixture at show rings, cattle sales and barns for more than 40 years.

Serhienko, who runs the T Bar C Cattle Co. near Saskatoon, can be found at show rings and sale arenas across Canada.

The nickname T Bar stuck after an auctioneer in Oklahoma couldn’t pronounce Serhienko.

The middle of three boys, Serhienko grew up on a small mixed farm near Blaine Lake, Sask., where money was hard to come by.

“Everybody had to learn how to work,” he said.

It was only after he turned his back on formal schooling that Serhienko’s hands-on learning really began.

“My only education has been the school of hard knocks,” he said.

Serhienko said late cattle producer Joe Lewis of Alfalfa Lawn Farm in Larned, Kansas, was also instrumental in furthering his knowledge of working with show cattle.

“He was legendary and judged virtually every show in North America of any consequence.”

He also honed his skills with Bob Gordon at Kinnaber Stock Farm in Souris, Man. Serhienko began fitting cattle in 1967, helping to pioneer and profit from a new technique called custom fitting.

“Back in those days, cattle fitting was a little different in the fact that they didn’t have blowers. You used brushes, clippers were sheep shears and the cattle were belt buckle cattle,” he said.

“I think I was one of the earliest people who used adhesives to hold hair up. Back in those days we tried everything.”

The custom fitting business steadily grew as he also exhibited

his own cattle. He was busy for 10 years doing shows like the newly founded Western Canadian Agribition, which started in 1971.

During this time, Serhienko helped young people in their burgeoning cattle careers and hired them as fitters.

“Many of them have gone on to be very successful,” he said.

In 1979, Serhienko began marketing purebred cattle and managing the sales.

“Got into what I call the pimping business,” he said.

He starting managing Polled Hereford sales and later diversified into sales for the Charolais, Angus, Simmental, Speckled Park, Gelbvieh and Limousin breeds.

Success at production and dispersion sales steadily grew and with it a business motto: “You’re only as good as your last sale.”

Averaging 40 to 50 sales per year and 250 days on the road, Serhienko estimates he’s done 1,000 sales, many with repeat customers.

“We’ve been fortunate. There’s some sales we’ve been running for two decades annually.”

He maintains some words of advice for producers wanting to sell.

“The biggest thing about hiring a sale manager and having a successful sale … if the sale manager has any quality to him, he’s going to bring some experience, he’s going to take the work load off of you because paperwork to most farmers is a pain in the ass,” he said.

“Managing a sale is teamwork between the owner and the

sales staff. It’s like a football team. If everybody carries their own weight, you’ll have a lot of success….

“There’s also one small thing and that’s the quality of cattle. If the quality of cattle is suspect, sometimes the greatest sales manager in the world cannot save or solve it.”

His straight-talking shoot from the hip approach has sometimes backfired.

“I’ve been fired several times because of my opinions,” he said.

“Not all cattle are great. Not all programs are great. Some people take constructive criticism. Some people despise criticism, they take it personally.”

Serhienko also sources cattle for exporters and deals in purebred seed stock.

“We do not mess in the commercial industry and we hope they don’t mess in ours. It seems to be an unwritten rule,” he said.

About 10 years ago, Serhienko and wife and business partner Mina saw an opportunity to complement their marketing business with magazine quality publishing.

Their first magazine focused on the Hereford breed, titled Herefords Today. Success from that venture soon led to publishing Today’s Angus Advantage and producing Simmental Country and Limousin Voice for the associations.

The issues featured Serhienko editorials written under the titles The View Through My Windshield, You Ought to Know and The Final Word.

Advertising is a key component for all the magazines, and everything is done in house except printing.

Virtually all the people we want to hire in here have to have some farm background to have any kind of success. Our mandate has been to hire past 4-H members or past juniors. I’m letting another generation carry it on.

They also print 80 to 100 sale catalogues per year.

He said the downside of publishing for producers is trying to adjust to producers’ farm schedules while running a printing business with strict deadlines.

“Probably the biggest problem we have is we deal with farmers. So the weather dictates how punctual they are with information. If it’s good combining weather, you can’t get hold of a guy to send you a pedigree or a picture. And then the first rainy day, you don’t have enough people to answer the phones.”

Serhienko said he’s begun to slow down in the day-to-day business and is swinging his golf clubs more. Part of shifting into a lower gear has meant hiring young people. For example, auctioneer Chris Poley is gradually taking over the sales and marketing business.

“He’s a very good young man who grew up as a fitter through

4-H, bred some cattle, owned an auction mart and is a very good auctioneer.”

Having an agricultural background is often a necessary condition for Serhienko when hiring staff.

“Virtually all the people we want to hire in here have to have some farm background to have any kind of success. Our mandate has been to hire past 4-H members or past juniors,” he said.

“I’m letting another generation carry it on.”

As agriculture continues booming, Serhienko sees a bright road ahead for the purebred beef industry, particularly in Saskatchewan.

“When I look into the future, I predict Saskatchewan will be the cow-calf capital of Canada, mainly because we have so much arable land. I think Saskatchewan is the last frontier.”

However, he has also seen a steady decrease in support for organizations like 4-H and the junior beef shows, which prompt-

ed him to start the T Bar Invitational golf tournament.

The event has raised more than $191,000 since it began five years ago. This past summer’s tournament was the most successful, raising more than $42,000 for youth in the beef industry.

Eight national junior breed associations, representing 2,041members, will benefit. A portion of the proceeds was also donated to the Canadian Western Agribition Junior Beef Extreme.

Serhienko was at Agribition again this fall as a ring man at several sales.Most years he’s in the show ring for the Royal Bank of Canada Supreme Beef Challenge; something he’s done since Agribition began.

This year he performed the Burning of the Brand, an honour that recognized him for his years of service to the industry.

“My biggest thrill is when some young 4-Her comes up and says, ‘hi T Bar or hi Mr. Serhienko.’ That makes my day.”
