HISTORY | WESTERN CANADIAN CROP PRODUCTION SHOW

Farm show marks 30 years SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Thirty years ago a group of individuals from the University of Saskatchewan and Saskatoon Prairieland Park Corp. thought it would be a good idea to put on a chemical, fertilizer and seed show.

After the inaugural Western Canadian Crop Production Show in Januar y 1984, they decided it could become successful annual event given the right promotion.

That turned out to be an accurate forecast. The event has blossomed into a popular farmer gathering where a lot of business gets done.

The four-day show established a record attendance of 19,948 visitors last year, up from the previous fiveyear average of 14,964.

Prairieland’s food service department expects to serve up 500 kilo-

“It’s our largest show other than our summer fair — the Saskatoon Ex,” said Lori Cates, agricultural manager of Prairieland.

The success of the show is heavily dependent on the weather. A nasty blizzard cancelled an entire day of the event back in 2007 and sliced the four-day attendance total to 10,877 people.

Last year, the conditions were ideal.

“I mean we didn’t have any snow.

We were just right around the zero (degrees Celsius) mark for all four days,” said Cates.

She said she thinks the show’s founders would have difficulty recognizing the modern event.

There were no attendance figures in 1984 because there was no charge for admission. But there were 80 exhibitors housed in the old Jubilee building.

The 2013 event will feature 327

exhibitors spread out among 20,439 sq. metres of trade show space.

“It takes every square inch of our buildings and all of our staff,” said Cates.

The cost of a typical booth has more than doubled to $750 from $300 in 1984. There will also be 12 outdoor trade show spaces at the 2013 event.

“It could be 30 below in January and people are still bringing their equipment here to put on display outside,” said Cates.

The four-day show generates considerable economic spinoff for the city.

“I know just from talking to the hotels I don’t think you can get a hotel room in the city that week,” she said.

“Going out for dinner that week is crazy.”

“It hasn’t affected d deals yet because there have been none, no one, but it certainly is raised by people in in the Cairns group and others when w wee meet with them, so in that way it has haas had an effect. I think we have handed hand ded people a stick on a silver platter to o beat us with.”

André Bellavance, the Bloc Québécois MP who moved the motion Qué Nov. 22, 2005, said the target at the time was an impending World Trade Organization meeting in Hong Kong, which niza appeared to offer a chance of breakapp through and compromise. thro Instead, the meeting in December Ins 2005 led to WTO stalemate that has only deepened over the years. Governments are now moving their attenernm tion to regional trade negotiations.

“In that way, I think the motion is more mor important now than it was then with CETA and TPP coming,” he said.

“The “Th government has its direction and industry will be watching.”

Former Canadian agriculture Fo negotiator Mike Gifford said the parnego liamentary vote came, ironically, at a liam time when the dairy sector was signalling that some compromise was nall possible, although not on over-quota poss tariffs tarif that give the industry stability to set se production quota levels with

the knowledge of what percentage of the market is available to imports.

“When I talked to supply management leaders privately, at least some of them, even post-2005 they recognized that at the end of the day, this was not a sustainable position, and that Canada would have to make some concessions,” Gifford said.

He was Canada’s chief agricultural negotiator in Geneva for many years, including talks on the Uruguay Round that led to the last WTO deal in 1993.

“But they would also say, quite accurately, that the politics within the farm community in Canada is such that we daren’t say this in public before the end game because God knows what will happen in the negotiation,” Gifford said.

“We can’t say anything publicly until it is clear that a deal is coming together, that it is clear we are where we were in 1993 again.”

Although it would deviate from the

2005 vote and cause a political uproar from the supply managed sector and opposition politicians, there is growing speculation that Canada could offer more access by increasing low-tariff imports brought in under tariff rate quotas. Proponents of the idea said that would be a concession without destabilizing the supply management system.

Liberal trade critic Wayne Easter, a self-described “fierce defender” of supply management who voted for the resolution but thought it was too restrictive, hints at that potential solution.

“The system cannot be negotiated away,” he said. “You can move on access, but you cannot move on tariffs and that’s what’s crucial to the system.”

Former trade negotiator Michael Hart does not under-estimate the power of the supply management lobby to dissuade government from approving any weakening of support for the system’s protections.

“I was working with the UPA (Union des Producteurs Agricoles) to get the d rresolution passed, and we wanted it unanimous,” BQ MP and motion u ssponsor André Bellavance said.

“It was not easy at the beginning of tthe day because the Conservatives were not sure, so we added words to w tthe motion for them. Mr. Duceppe aand Mr. Harper talked in the lobby aabout that. I was there. The Conservvatives got on board.”

The rookie MP’s main problem was with the Liberals. w Cabinet ministers in the minority ggovernment were heading off two weeks later for a World Trade Organiw zzation meeting in Hong Kong, and tthey thought the motion would tie ttheir hands.

The 41-year-old former radio announcer from a rural central Quebec riding had been elected just the previous year and had been named BQ agriculture critic only months before.

Andy An Mitchell spent the day trying to convince opposition MPs that the co motion would be more tenable if it mot called calle for negotiators to protect supply management but not to specify m how it must be done.

“I would have been more comfortw able with a motion that simply dealt with the end goal,” he said.

“But “B at the end of the day, I was going goin to show Canadian producers

Despite opposition charges that the Liberals were waffling and trying to dilute supply management support, Mitchell said his vote for the motion was never in doubt.

“I do think it was an important expression of parliamentary opinion that, although not binding, governments have an obligation to listen to.”

In the lead-up to the Nov. 22 vote, UPA leadership arranged a meeting with then prime minister and Montreal MP Paul Martin to warn about the consequences of not supporting the motion.

Afterward, Canadian export lobbyists who attended the Hong Kong WTO meeting said they overheard Mitchell apologize to then agriculture negotiator Steve Verheul about the motion.

“I don’t remember that, but it wouldn’t surprise me that I said we have just added another complication to your job,” said Mitchell, now a municipal politician in the Peterborough, Ont., area.

HEN THE POLITICAL smoke cleared after the vote, Quebec and supply management leaders cheered and returned to their farms convinced of political support.

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Nov. 22, 2005, was something of a political coming of age for many free trade prairie Reform-Conservative MPs who had cut their political teeth fighting against agricultural protectionism and tariffs.

One after another that evening, they stood in the House of Commons to voice their support for supply management, with its tariffs as high as 200 and 300 percent.

Politics made them do it.

“They swallowed themselves whole,” Liberal MP Wayne Easter quipped.

“It was all political,” said the thenprominent Medicine Hat MP Monte Solberg, who voted for the resolution and went on to hold cabinet positions in later Conservative governments.

“From a policy point of view, it was a step backwards, but at the time, we felt as a party it was important to make sure Quebec felt we were being sensitive to their interests.”

In a recent interview, Solberg said it was a tough evening for many free trade MPs from the Prairies.

“There were a lot of guys who had to swallow a lot of crow because they had been vocal on the issue, but welcome to the broader political agenda,” he said.

The atmosphere in the Commons was heated as the debate raged through the day.

MPs were treading on ice as thin as the wind-polished sheen that coated Parliament Hill inclines that late November day.

The stakes were high.

A federal election loomed, the minority Liberal government looked vulnerable and a crucial World Trade Organization meeting in Hong Kong was just two weeks away.

Bloc Québécois rookie MP André Bellavance seized the moment to put forward a motion that W TO negotiators be instructed to reject any deal that lowered supply management over-quota tariffs or increased guaranteed access tariff rate quota levels.

The parties negotiated the issue through the day. The BQ accepted a Conservative-proposed amendment that any WTO deal should also provide benefits for export sectors but rejected a Liberal proposal to water down the resolution by requiring protection of the system but allowing changes in existing rules.

The core of the motion was to reject

any reduction in high dairy, poultry and egg protectionist tariffs.

After five hours of debate, the vote was called to demand no reduction in Canadian supply management agricultural tariffs.

Southern Alberta MP Ted Menzies, a former Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association president and leader of the Agri-Food Trade Alliance that opposes tariffs, rose in his seat.

“Yes,” he voted.

West-central Saskatchewan Conservative MP Gerry Ritz, who had little sympathy for protectionism in his early political life, rose: “Yes.” Conservative leader Stephen Harper, who as president of the Canadian Citizens’ Coalition had condemned agricultural protectionism, was not in the House to vote but had sanctioned or ordered party support.

The final vote was 288-0.

That vote remains the no-compromise Canadian position, even as the country engages in trade liberalization talks with the European Union and the Trans-Pacific Partnership groups, where high supply managed import tariffs are at issue as Canada tries to negotiate better access for export commodities.

“It certainly has constrained our negotiators and I think has compromised Canada’s credibility in trying to negotiate better access for other commodities,” Canadian Sugar Institute president and Canadian Agri-Food Trade Alliance board member Sandra Marsden said.

The vote that late November night was what is called a standing vote, where each member has to personally declare a position. It was triggered by a parliamentary trick.

When Bloc Québécois MPs shouted “no” to their own motion, it required all MPs to take a public stand.

If more than five MPs rise to demand a standing vote, House rules require a recorded vote with names on the record.

Quebec farmers in the House of Commons public gallery that evening were confused by the BQ “no” vote.

“We had to explain to them it was a parliamentary tactic,” said Bellavance.

“We wanted a recorded vote because any minister or a new government could say, well the party voted for it but we weren’t there that night,” he said.

“But everybody stood up from all parties, so we have it on paper. Everyone supported it. They can’t hide.”

HISTORY | FROM PAGE ONE

Farm show marks 30 years, still going strong Agricultural input providers and equipment manufacturers and dealers appreciate that the show has stuck with its policy of allowing only exhibits related to crop production.

Nobody is flogging mops, pots and pans or fudge.

That means the vast majority of people who come through the gates are active farmers there to conduct business.

“They’re here to talk about contracts and order fertilizer for next year and chemicals and to find out what the newest technology is,” said Cates.

“If you talk to any of the large equipment manufacturers that are at the show, I know the last few years that they’ve said they have nothing left to sell. So the equipment is moving.”

As part of the 30th anniversary of the show, Prairieland will be recognizing the 15 companies and institutions that have exhibited there for the past 30 years.

The trade show is held in conjunction with Crop Production Week, a series of commodity group meetings that take place at the Saskatoon Inn. Crop Production Week co-ordinator Kevin Hursh said it’s hard to gauge how many farmers show up because they may attend a variety of commodity group meetings, which means they would be counted more than once.

“My gut feeling would be that there would be upwards of 2,000,” he said.

Ruth Klassen, banquet manager for the Saskatoon Inn, said it’s a tall order providing meals and coffee breaks for the 13 commodity groups hosting meetings at the hotel.

“Every single one of my meeting rooms is full every single day,” she said.

Each group wants their crop featured in the meals, so all of the dishes served at the SaskCanola meeting are made with canola oil and beans and lentils are incorporated into the salads at the pulse grower meeting.

Hursh said Crop Production Week has a tough time competing with the Crop Production Show on the other side of town.

“People tend to gravitate to the fun thing, which is to walk around and look at exhibits rather than the harder thing, which is to sit in a seat and try to let your mind follow what the speaker is talking about,” he said.

Those who tough it out at the meetings can gain valuable insights into the marketing side of the business and pick up hints on what to grow next year.

“The timing is excellent as people start putting their planning together,” he said.

There was a time when special crops companies would be out in full force with contracts in hand at the January meeting but that’s not the case anymore.

Hursh doesn’t know what anniversary this is for Crop Production Week.

There is no clear date for when it morphed out of the University of Saskatchewan’s Farm and Home Week to become its own event.

The focus is more about the individual commodity groups rather than the umbrella event.

“We probably don’t spend as much time as we should celebrating it as an event,” said Hursh.

SEED GROWERS | FUSARIUM CONCERNS

Fusarium fears rising on Prairies Infection severe | Fusarium affects up to 60 percent of kernels in some areas

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Fusarium head blight is causing headaches for western Canadian farmers and pedigreed seed growers.

The problem is particularly severe in Saskatchewan, where the disease was widespread in 2012 and infection levels were higher than ever in many crop districts.

Unusually high levels of fusarium damaged kernels in some regions are fuelling concerns about commercial and pedigreed supplies of spring wheat, durum and barley.

Maximum thresholds for fusarium damaged kernels (FDK) in commercial spring wheat crops are 0.25 percent for No. 1 Canada Western red spring, 0.8 percent for No. 2 and 1.5 percent for No. 3 and 4.

Fusarium graminearum, the most toxic type of fusarium, affected 30 to 60 percent of kernels in durum and spring wheat samples in some areas.

“Fusarium was pretty widespread this year compared to other years,” said Daryl Beswitherick, program manager of quality assurance services at the Canadian Grain Commission.

FDK levels in commercial wheat crops came in at 0.5 percent or less in most parts of Western Canada, he said.

However, levels were much higher in some areas of Saskatchewan, often five percent or higher.

“That (five percent) is a significant amount so they’re going to have some issues moving that grain, I would think,” Beswitherick said.

Markets are limited for grain with high levels of FDK. Fusarium infected crops can be cleaned to remove shrunken kernels or blended with supplies of higher quality grain.

However, cleaning costs can be prohibitive and the amount of wheat with high levels of FDK was significant in some areas, meaning

local blending opportunities could be limited.

Cereal crops infected by fusarium head blight contain mycotoxins that can severely limit the value of the grain among millers, bakers, maltsters, livestock feeders and biofuel manufacturers.

Deoxynivalenol (DON), the most common mycotoxin, is produced in large amounts by fusarium graminearum. It reduces feed intake by pigs and cattle and adversely affects the milling, baking, processing and malting properties of grain.

Ethanol producers are also reluctant to use infected crops because DON levels become more concentrated in dried distillers grains, a grain-based byproduct of ethanol production that is commonly used in livestock feed rations.

Fusarium is becoming more prevalent in Saskatchewan and Alberta, but Beswitherick said it didn’t affect all producers.

Western Canadian wheat growers harvested a high quality spring wheat crop last year, with 73 percent of CWRS production falling into the top two grades — 13 to 14 million tonnes.

That high quality crop will present opportunities for grain handling companies to blend lowquality grain.

“You’ve got a lot of product to be able to blend with, so the handling system can absorb some of that (fusarium damaged material),” he said.

Pedigreed seed producers are facing similar problems.

Fusarium damaged kernels in pedigreed seed lots were well above five percent in some areas and clean-out losses were significant, sometimes above 35 percent.

David Gehl, head of the seed increase unit at Agriculture Canada’s research farm near Indian Head, Sask., said fusarium was rampant in the farm’s breeder seed plots last year.

The level of infection in some

breeder seed plots was higher than levels recorded in inoculated fusarium research nurseries in Manitoba, said Agriculture Canada plant breeder Ron DePauw.

Surveys of the most susceptible varieties of spring wheat and durum at Indian Head indicated severe fusarium head blight infection on 50 percent of heads.

Subsequent laboratory tests on grain harvested from the same plots showed 83 to 100 percent fusarium graminearum infection rates.

“It was a pretty ugly situation, really,” said Gehl.

“In some of our plots, I estimated that we had yield losses of 45 percent on some of the most susceptible varieties.”

Elevated fusar ium levels in breeder seed could have a costly and far-reaching effect on the pedigreed seed industry.

The seed increase unit at Indian Head supplies breeder seed to pedigreed seed growers in Western Canada for further multiplication and eventual distribution to commercial growers.

Fusarium graminearum is a regulated disease in Alberta, and the province’s management plan has a zero tolerance policy for the disease.

That means breeder seed with any trace of the pathogen will not be allowed into the province unless thresholds prescribed by the management plan are adjusted.

“That’s a big concern for us, is to be able to supply breeder seed of our new varieties to (pedigreed seed) growers in Alberta,” Gehl said.

“It’s been a fairly ugly situation, to be honest with you.”

Gehl said there is a chance that breeder seed from Indian Head can be cleaned and disinfected to meet Alberta’s zero percent threshold.

Unlike most pedigreed seed growers, Agriculture Canada has access to a dry heat procedure that is capable of killing the fusarium

graminearum pathogen on seed.

However, Gehl said it is still unclear if the process will be effective.

If not, an entire generation of seed could be lost, at least for pedigreed seed growers in Alberta.

“We’ll still have to see whether that’s going to be effective under these heavy infestation levels, whether we can get it down to no detectable fusarium,” he said.

“We’ll find out in the new year.”

Either way, supplies of breeder seed will be scarce because of reduced yields and high clean-out losses.

Pedigreed seed growers are facing similar concerns in other parts of Saskatchewan.

Bruce Carrier, owner of Discovery Seed Labs, said pedigreed seed growers in some areas may be forced to sell pedigreed wheat and barley supplies into commercial milling markets or as feed.

“Seed samples, depending on the area of the province you are in, are up to a point where … the majority of it is not usable for seed,” Carriere said.

“There’s going to be a seed shortage, big time.”

Crop districts 8A and 8B in northeastern Saskatchewan were particularly hard hit, but severe infestations were also recorded in other parts of the province, including Yorkton, Assiniboia, Saskatoon and North Battleford.

The pedigreed seed industry does not have a threshold for FDK in certified wheat and barley seed, but pedigreed seed growers are concerned about the risks posed by seed-borne fusarium that cannot be seen with the naked eye.

Carriere said pedigreed wheat seed with FDK levels of five to 10 percent can usually be cleaned to a point where the seed is usable.

Efforts to clean pedigreed barley supplies are less successful.

Regardless of cleaning efforts, pedigreed supplies of wheat, barley and oats will be in extremely short supply.

START HERE: What topic are you

MARCH 29: The federal budget hit Agriculture Canada with one of the hardest blows in government: 10 percent of the budget and $310 million in budget cuts over the next two years. More than 1,000 federal agriculture-related positions will be eliminated over the next several years, including researchers and food inspectors. Community pastures will be turned over to the private sector, as well as the shelter belt program at Indian Head, Sask. Research centres will be closed within two years.

But lingering legal issues surrounding the demise of the Canadian Wheat Board’s monopoly have yet to be resolved and likely won’t be for months, if not years. CWB chief executive officer Ian White said it’s business as usual as the voluntary marketing agency enters the new era of grain marketing in Western Canada.

WTO appeal panel upholds ruling against COOL JUNE 29: A World Trade Organization appeal tribunal ruled that the U.S. mandatory country-of-origin labelling law is a trade violation. The tribunal found the original panel did not err in stating that COOL, which applies to all fresh meat and produce sold at the U.S. retail level, discriminates against imported livestock over domestic livestock. It also said the law creates a disincentive to handle imports.

Since 2008, COOL is estimated to have affected exports of live cattle and hogs by 50 percent.

Canada’s largest beef recall SEPT. 4: CFIA inspectors found a positive E. coli sample in raw beef trimmings processed at XL Lakeside in Brooks, Alta. By the time the dust settled, 17 people had been diagnosed with E. coli in connection to meat from the plant and Health Canada had issued recalls for more than 2,000 products in what is now the largest beef recall in Canadian history. The company closed for a month to meet inspection standards and reopened on news of a potential purchase by international meat giant JBS USA.

Wind woes SEPT. 10: Farms in east-central Alberta and westcentral Saskatchewan sustained heavy damages to canola crops when strong winds gusting up to 100 km/h shattered their prospects for a good crop.

Losses were heaviest in Saskatchewan, where half of the province’s canola crop was sitting in swaths when the winds swept up. The damage may trickle over into next spring, when herbicide tolerant volunteer canola appears in fields throughout the Prairies.

U.S. suffers through drought AUG. 3: Drought-ravaged areas of the United States finally saw three days of rainfall, but many pastures and fields were too far gone to benefit from the moisture. Most areas now fall into a USDA D4 extreme drought category, which means livestock producers are eligible for forage disaster assistance that can pay up to 60 percent of feed costs for up to three months.

U.S. president Barack Obama toured affected areas and unveiled plans to assist producers, despite the American House and Senate approving different versions of a new U.S. farm bill and not approving a compromise.

Yield pests SEPT. 6: Producers across the Prairies fought pests of all sorts in 2012. A near record wet start to the year set in motion fungal infections that injured otherwise bumper crop yields.

Fusarium in cereals spread out from its mainly eastern prairie base to damage crops in parts of Alberta. Aster yellows arrived on the wind through its host insect and joined with sclerotinia to reduce canola production. Stripe rust attacked wheat and crown rust went after oats. Scab and scald, among others, hurt barley yields.

Wire worms, cutworms, aphids, weevils of many types and bertha armyworms were all abundant.

Only the peaks of the mid-1970s, when adjusted for inflation, surpassed the prices for small grains. Canola reached highs over $14 per bushel, wheat stuck in the $8 per bu. region and barley at the feedlot was $6 per bu. The world will look for new crop supplies to reduce prices, while adjusting to near record-low carryout inventories.

WINTER WHEAT | U.S. FORECAST

U.S. winter wheat situation gloomy

A glut of new ocean liners combined with a slowdown in international trade has sent freight rates plummeting. |

Low freight rates open markets Products more competitive | Canadian grain may find buyers in Asia, Africa and the Middle East

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Ocean freight rates are extremely low right now, which is a big bonus for Canadian farmers because of the long distances between them and their markets.

The Baltic Dry Index, a measure of global shipping rates for dry bulk goods, reached a 26 year low in February and remained 72 percent below the five-year average as of midDecember, according to a Bloomberg story.

Builders started expanding the drybulk fleet five years ago in response to high freight rates.

Freight demand was far exceeding supply during that time of economic prosperity. The dry bulk fleet has increased by 44 percent since Jan. 1, 2010.

The combination of new ships hitting the market and a slowdown in

global trade because of slumping world economies has seen ocean freight rates plunge.

Bruce Burnett, CWB’s director of weather and market analysis, expects rates will remain depressed over the next five years, which is good news for Canadian farmers.

“That should help support prices as a structural factor over the next five years,” he said.

Low freight rates allow Canadian crops to reach markets they can’t service when shipping costs are high. They also make those products more price competitive in traditional markets.

A benchmark rate for shipping commodities from Vancouver to Asia is in the low $20s per tonne.

The long-term average for that benchmark rate is $28 to $30 per tonne, and it traded $10 to $15 per tonne above that during the highs of the freight market.

BRUCE BURNETT CWB ANALYST

Burnett remembers how high ocean freight rates affected Canadian grain shipments five years ago.

“There were a number of customers where quite frankly it was not economical to ship to because of the high rates at the time,” he said.

Canadian grain and oilseeds were uncompetitive in parts of Asia, the Middle East, Africa and the Mediterranean.

Burnett said he believes rates have bottomed out, but how long they stay there will depend on how quickly old vessels are scrapped and if

there is a sudden turnaround in the global economic situation.

Terry Barr, senior director of the knowledge exchange division for CoBank, told the recent DTN/Progressive Farmer Ag Summit 2012 that the world economy will be in the doldrums for another three to five years as key economies wrestle with crippling debt.

Many countries have significant debt-to-gross domestic product ratios. Bringing deficits under control will create a fiscal drag because every penny in increased taxes or decreased spending means less fiscal stimulus in those economies.

Barr said the European Union and the United States will experience minimal economic growth over the next three to five years, which will keep a lid on China’s growth.

That is bad news for grain and oilseed demand but good news for ocean freight rates.

TRANSPORTATION | MISSISSIPPI

Mississippi River water level woes continue, strike averted CHICAGO, Ill.(Reuters) — The United States Army Corps of Engineers has stepped up its fight against falling water levels on the Mississippi River.

The corps released water from a southern Illinois lake into the river to aid transportation. It would not affirm shippers’ forecasts for a potential closure but said water levels had decreased faster than expected due to ice forming in the river.

A group of shippers warned that river commerce at Thebes, Illinois,

could halt earlier than expected on Jan. 3 or 4 due to declining water levels, disrupting the flow of billions of dollars worth of grain and other goods from the central United States to the U.S. coast on the Gulf of Mexico. Shippers had previously projected such a closure in mid January.

Water on the Mississippi River is near record low due to the worst U.S. drought since 1956. The Mississippi River is the main shipping waterway for grain moving from Midwest

farms to export facilities at the Gulf of Mexico. Some 55 to 65 percent of the U.S. corn, soybean and wheat exports exit the country via the Gulf.

Meanwhile, U.S. dock workers and an alliance of shippers have averted a strike.

The International Longshoremen’s Association, the union representing workers at Atlantic and gulf coast ports, and the U.S. Maritime Alliance, the group of shippers and port operators, agreed in principle to a tentative deal on the contentious

issue of royalty payments for shipping containers, which pays workers based on the tons of cargo handled.

Both sides agreed to extend the current contract to the end of January to allow time to hammer out details on the new deal.

There was no further information available as of the Dec. 28 deadline for this issue.

The 15 ports involved move more than 100 million tonnes of goods each year and about 40 percent of U.S. containerized cargo traffic.

The United States winter wheat crop is in worse condition than has been reported, says CWB. Bruce Burnett, CWB’s director of weather and market analysis, toured fields in Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Texas and Oklahoma in early December.

His 2,900 kilometre trek through the prime U.S. hard red winter wheat area left him with the impression that the crop is in even bigger trouble than markets are anticipating.

CWB had expected before the trip that U.S. HRWW production would be 2.7 million tonnes less than last year, despite an estimated 900,000 acre increase in planting.

Burnett said the forecast was based on disturbing reports from the U.S. Department of Agriculture that only 33 percent of the winter wheat crop was rated good to excellent heading into dormancy, down from 52 percent the previous year. It is the worst rating in nearly three decades.

He now thinks yields could be 20 percent below last year’s levels, resulting in a 5.5 million tonne reduction in production.

“That number, I feel, at least right now, is somewhat conservative,” he said Dec. 20.

“I think it possibly could be lower given some of the weather events that have happened since then.”

Many of the wheat crops had been in the ground for up to two months by the time Burnett arrived, but there was little growth because of the ongoing and expanding drought in the U.S. A lot of the wheat was still in the two to three leaf stage of development without any tillering happening.

Damage will be extensive if temperatures drop below -20 C for a prolonged period of time unless the crops receive plenty of snow cover.

“Generally speaking, the abandonment is going to be quite a bit larger than in recent years,” said Burnett.

He is forecasting 25 percent abandonment, up from 18 percent last year and the long-term average of 15 to 20 percent.

Kansas typically accounts for 36 percent of the U.S. hard red winter wheat crop, and Burnett wasn’t impressed with what he saw there.

He disagrees with the USDA rating that 29 percent of the Kansas crop is in good to excellent shape heading into winter. That may be the case in the central and north-central parts of the state, he added, but there are significant issues elsewhere.

WINTER WHEAT | PRAIRIE SEEDING

Dry fall sets back winter wheat acres in Sask.

Nearly 200,000 fewer acres were seeded in Saskatchewan while Manitoba acreage dropped by only 20,000

Dale Hicks was determined to seed winter wheat this fall, even though his soil resembled hardened concrete.

“It was so dry (in September) I couldn’t get the drill in the ground,” said Hicks, who farms near Outlook, Sask.

“You’d put a drill in the ground and it would just skate on top, or pull up cinder blocks (of soil).”

Instead of seeding in September, Hicks decided to wait until early November.

“If I couldn’t make a decent sized plant (before freeze up), I just chose to dormant seed it,” said Hicks, chair of the Saskatchewan Winter Cereals

Development Commission.

“We only put in 100 acres. That’s all I could do before it started snowing.”

As a testament to how dry it was in s o u t h e r n Sa s k at c h e w a n a f e w months ago, Environment Canada’s weather station in Regina recorded 18 millimetres of precipitation from Aug. 1 to Sept. 30. The area normally receives 70 mm of rain.

Consequently, producers backed away from plans to seed winter wheat, and acres dropped substantially in the province.

Statistics Canada says Saskatchewan producers seeded 390,000 acres of winter wheat this fall compared to 580,000 in 2011.

In Manitoba, producers were able to sustain their winter wheat acreage despite dry conditions. They seeded

600,000 acres compared to 580,000 acres in the previous year.

“I think a lot of guys put it in, even though it was dry,” said Brent Schram of Brandon, who seeded 750 acres of winter wheat. “(We) hoped it would rain and we got a late rain (in October), so it actually grew at the end.”

The lack of moisture stunted the winter wheat’s development, and plants on Schram’s farm are just “poking out of the ground.”

Nevertheless, his farm has sufficient snow cover, which he said should protect the crop.

Hicks said there is also enough snow to insulate the crop in his region of Saskatchewan.

He said he has seeded winter wheat in November once before and the

“The chance of Kansas having an average yielding crop are very, very slim,” he said.

Burnett thinks yields will be 25 to 38 bushels per acre, depending on spring rain. He didn’t see many viable crops in any of the states he toured. Conditions were terrible even in irrigated areas where farmers use wheat as pasture until they plant corn.

“You didn’t see a lot of cattle out in any wheat pastures at all,” he said.

Burnett has been touring the U.S. winter wheat area since 1989 and can’t recall worse conditions.

The news is similarly gloomy in Russia, where the agriculture ministry is forecasting 38.8 million acres of winter grain, down from earlier estimates of 41.6 million acres. The latest forecast includes 32.1 million acres of winter wheat.

The ministry is predicting average yields, resulting in 38.6 million tonnes of winter grain production this year, up from 29.2 million tonnes last year but slightly below the 2011 harvest of 39.5 million tonnes.

However, Burnett said farmers in southern Russia are experiencing the same kind of establishment problems seen in the U.S. because of extremely dry conditions.

Russian farmers are going to need a good snowfall in advance of the cold fronts that will hit that important winter wheat producing region.

Ukraine’s crop was in good shape heading into winter.

Strategie Grains is reporting a 4.8 percent increase in winter wheat acres in the European Union and is forecasting a 9.2 percent increase in production.

CWB forecasts a five to seven million tonne increase in EU output.

Burnett said global winter wheat acres are up this year, but troubling developments in the U.S. and Russia raise legitimate concerns about achieving the kinds of yields he has seen in supply and demand forecasts.

“In order to hit some of the numbers I’m seeing, you’d have to have some pretty good growing conditions, and I would say that we haven’t had that to date in Russia and in the U.S.,” he said.

He advised Canadian growers to keep a close eye on winter temperature and snowfall levels in Russia and the southern U.S. Plains.

Burnett said wheat price prospects will be good if conditions don’t improve in those two important winter wheat regions.

The USDA is scheduled to issue its first winter wheat production forecast Jan. 11.

crop turned out.

“It was just a later crop, so you couldn’t get away without wild oat control,” he said.

“And it reduced the yield a bit because it’s going to be flowering in a warmer time of year … at the end of June or early July.”

Hicks said heavy rain and snow melt, which flooded fields in southeastern Saskatchewan and southwestern Manitoba in spring 2011, encouraged new growers to seed winter wheat when their fields dried up.

Solid yields and prices around $7.50 a bushel this past summer helped the experiment pay off for first time growers. Hicks had hoped the newcomers would stick with the crop this year, but the dry fall pre-

Brad Vannan, president of ICE Canada, says it’s too soon to de-list grain futures contracts after a slow first year. |

GRAIN | FUTURES CONTRACTS

ICE maintains interest in grain futures Courting contracts | New contracts received little interest from farmers during the first year WINNIPEG (Reuters) — ICE Futures Canada plans to continue offering its seldom traded Canadian grain futures contracts, confident that a set of unusual, but temporary, market conditions prevented them from taking off last year.

ICE Canada launched milling wheat, durum and barley contracts last January to capitalize on the federal government’s removal of the CWB’s grain marketing monopoly.

However, the price volatility that would have spurred the trade to aggressively manage its risk never materialized.

Instead, wheat prices have been high and steady, and grain movement from farms through the commercial handling system has been fluid. And all of this has happened in a year in which western farmers gained the ability to sell their grain to any buyer.

“From a farmer’s eyes, what more do you want?” said Brad Vannan, president of ICE Canada.

“For people to see value in those tools, they have to perceive risk. There are a lot of unusual things that are happening right now, none of which really demonstrate the value of the futures contracts that were built.”

He said high prices of wheat for livestock feed, which is the lowest value wheat grade, put a high floor price into the western Canadian wheat market, while an abundance of high protein wheat kept the ceiling low.

Feedback from the commercial grain trade is that the contracts are well structured, and de-listing them would be premature, he added. They need at least another full crop cycle, and maybe several, to prove themselves.

“All we need to do is attract more volume,” he said.

“The volumes aren’t great, which is disappointing, but at the same time we’ve seen some small but significant milestones.”

The new contracts have rolled

through delivery months, with traders making deliveries and intermonth spread trades.

However, open interest is a paltry 83 positions in the three contracts combined, compared with 155,000 in ICE Canada’s signature canola contract.

The CWB hasn’t yet used the ICE wheat contracts because it is waiting for liquidity to build, said Chris Palmer, a trader at CWB. “It’s pretty hard to get new contracts going. The pie is only so big,” he said.

“It might be an issue of people going with what they know. The wheat market is pretty well-represented with high-quality (grades) in Minneapolis and medium in Kansas and lower in Chicago. They need to find a niche somewhere to drive volume.”

Western Canada’s grain industry has historically used Minneapolis Grain Exchange’s hard red spring wheat contract to manage risk asso-

ciated with spring wheat and durum production, but the ICE contracts offer the advantages of Canadian currency and delivery points.

Last month, Milan’s Borsa Italiana launched Europe’s first durum futures market to cater to demand from the continent’s Italian-led pasta makers.

Vannan said ICE hopes it can convince end users of wheat, durum and barley, particularly importers, to use the contracts.

Earlier this year, IntercontinentalExchange Inc., which owns ICE Canada, launched grain contracts in the United States to compete with benchmarks traded on the Chicago Board of Trade. Those contracts have also struggled to attract liquidity.

“It takes awhile for a market to take on its own personality,” Vannan said.

“And I don’t think the Canadian market has done that yet because such unique conditions occurred this year.”

HAMBURG, Germany (Reuters) — Oil World has cut its forecast of this year’s soybean harvest in Argentina by one million tonnes because of unfavourable weather that disrupted seeding.

The oilseed analyst now expects Argentina to harvest 53 million tonnes of soybeans in early 2013, down from 54 million tonnes it forecast in November and 56 million tonnes in October but still up from the 40.5 million tonnes that Argentina harvested in early 2012.

However, Oil World has left its Brazilian forecast unchanged. It still expects 81 million tonnes of soybeans to be harvested in early 2013, up from 66.8 million tonnes harvested in early 2012.

Bad weather has disrupted Argentine soybean seeding in recent weeks, but planting conditions were better in Brazil, it said.

“Although soybeans can be planted until January in several areas (of Argentina) and although some of the intended corn area will be switched to soybeans, it is still possible that total soybean plantings will turn out below the intentions of 19.7 million hectares (48.7 million acres),” it said.

“Also, later plantings will result in lower yields.”

A r g e n t i n a’s R o s a r i o g r a i n s exchange has also forecast that the Argentine soybean harvest in early 2013 will be 53 million tonnes.

As well, the U.S. Department of Agriculture forecast the Argentine crop at 55 million tonnes Dec. 11.

Soybean prices hit record highs in September as drought ravaged the U.S. crop but then fell back as the U.S. har vest turned out larger than expected. Big South American output may relieve world supplies in early 2013, but soybean prices have been rising again on firm demand.

Oil World stressed that global soybean stocks are declining and a good South American soybean crop will be critical to meet global demand in 2013 as heavy sales from the United States continue.

“The South American uncertainties are likely to keep soybean prices supported in the near to medium term, as long as the uncertainties persist.”

CANFAX REPORT RECORD FED PRICES Fed cattle futures that reached record highs Dec 17-19 supported prices for fed cattle cash prices in the week to Dec. 21, the final Canfax report of the year.

Futures climbed because of the blizzard that swept across the central part of the United States, raising the prospect of slowed cattle weight gain.

Weighted average steer prices in Canada were fairly steady at $119.26 per hundredweight, up 12 cents from the previous week, and heifers were $120.55, up $1.62.

Dressed sales were $202 per cwt. delivered.

Average Alberta fed steer and heifer prices set new annual highs for the fourth consecutive week, and the weighted average heifer price was also the highest since the data set has been collected.

There was no significant U.S. buyer interest. Sales volume totalled 10,751 head, down seven percent.

The Alberta cash-to-futures basis widened to -$8.53, which was similar to the five year average for this time of year of -$8.28.

Weekly fed cattle exports to Dec. 8 fell six percent to 6,129 head.

Market-ready supply should be tight for the next few weeks but demand will be weak, leading to lower cash cattle prices.

COW PRICE STEADY Western Canadian cow slaughter ran ahead of last year’s pace for the second consecutive week.

FEEDER CATTLE STEADY Feeder cattle futures rose through December, while corn futures fell.

However, Canadian barley prices have been steady.

Non fed and bread cattle made up most of the pre-Christmas auction traffic. Demand for calves and light stockers was a little weaker while demand for short keep feeders improved. The Canfax average steer price rose 17 cents per cwt. while heifers fell nine cents. Over the previous three weeks, steers 400-500 pounds fell $5.50.

Heifers heavier than 900 lb. fetched the highest price since the middle of September.

Auction volume totalled 28,465, down 37 percent from the previous week.

Weekly feeder exports to Dec. 8 totalled 1,195, down 43 percent from the previous week.

Snow and rain that fell in the U.S. Midwest and Plains was good for crop and pasture prospects.

Into the new year, barley bids could come under pressure.

CATTLE ON FEED The USDA Dec. 1 cattle on feed report was slightly bearish compared to pre-report estimates. Placements into feedlots in November were larger than expected and marketings were smaller.

There were 11.328 million head on feed Dec. 1, down six percent from a year ago, but analysts had expected a decline of 6.6 percent. The supply was the lowest for the month since 2002.

The inventory was 2.4 percent below the five-year average.

Good kid goats lighter than 50 lb. were $135-$195.

Those heavier than 50 lb. were $165-$200 per cwt. Nannies were $77.50-$95 per cwt. Billies were $110$147.50.

Ontario Stockyards Inc. reported 4,039 sheep and lambs and 202 goats traded Dec. 17.

Well-fed new crop lambs sold barely steady due to volume.

Heavy lambs also traded barely steady.

All classes of feeder lambs sold under extreme pressure at lower prices.

Sheep and goats were steady.

HOGS STEADY Hog prices, supported by packers in need of supply, were steady through the period.

Snowstorms in the U.S. slowed transport and shut down some plants, reducing slaughter numbers.

Iowa-southern Minnesota cash hogs delivered to plants were $61 to $61.50 per hundredweight on Dec. 28, matching the price from Dec. 21.

The U.S. pork carcass cut-out value was $81.32 on Dec. 28, down from $82.86 on Dec. 21.

U.S. federal slaughter to Dec. 29 was estimated at 1.76 million, down from 2.34 the previous week.

Fed cattle futures hit record highs Dec. 17-19. | Marketings in November were 1.761 million, down one percent from last year, while analysts expected no change.

Placements in November were 1.923 million, down six percent from last year. It was the sixth month in a row of lower placements. Placements for September through November were 8.1 million head compared to 9.25 million over the same period last year. That is a reduction of about 1.1 million, similar to the total number of cattle on feed in Saskatchewan and Alberta.

Placements were down in all weight categories except for 800 lb. and heavier, which rose 10.5 percent compared to a year ago. These tighter U.S. numbers will support the fed market by February and continue well into the second quarter of 2013.

BEEF PRICES MIXED Ample supplies of formula priced cattle in the U.S. enabled packers to tighten cash bids so negotiated cash sale volume was limited.

Choice cutouts fell $2.45 to $192.06 while Select rose $1.02 to $176.70 on light to moderate demand.

Montreal wholesale for delivery in the last week of the year were reported at $213-$215 Cdn per cwt.

It’s been six years since the project was initially proposed, but a $109 million beef slaughter plant in Aberdeen, South Dakota, finally began processing cattle this fall.

Northern Beef Packers, which is partially owned by Korean investors and was built to alleviate a beef processing gap in the Dakotas, is now processing cattle. As it scales up production into 2013 and 2014, plant managers expect to process 1,500 cattle per day. If a second shift is added, the plant’s kill capacity could reach 3,500 per day.

The plant plans to buy cattle from North and South Dakota, Minnesota and Iowa, because producers in those states ship cattle south to plants in Nebraska.

Laure Swanson, Northern Beef Packers marketing director, told the Bismarck Tribune that Canadian producers have expressed interest in selling cattle to the plant.

Aberdeen, which is about a sixhour drive south of Winnipeg, may offer significant transport savings for Manitoba producers, who normally sell cattle to plants in Alberta or to processors hundreds of kilometres south of Aberdeen.

Industry backbone needs muscle to work

Internship less painful than rogue pony

BY RICHARD PHILLIPS

T

he railways have been claiming that Bill C-52, the Fair Rail Freight Service Act, is unnecessary, stifles innovation and puts the “engine of the country’s economic growth at risk.”

Canadian National Railway chief executive officer Claude Mongeau declared this fall that it is “best for the Canadian government to stick with a commercial approach to rail service instead of adding layers of regulations.”

It is fair to say that shippers expect to bargain commercially with the railways.

However, with only two major railways operating in Canada, there continues to be an inability to fairly negotiate adequate services and prices for freight.

The railways, on the other hand, can unilaterally impose penalties and conditions on shippers or refuse to provide any service at all.

Farmers, the vast majority of whom have single railway access at their local elevators, have attempted to have rail service issues addressed for more than a decade. It is not like dealing with city cable and telephone companies.

Farmers cannot switch their business to another railway company if they receive poor service when only one rail line comes through their town.

This is why Grain Growers of Canada, working within the Coalition of Rail Shippers, have long called for balance through legislation.

Legislation was one of the recommendations made by the independent Rail Freight Service Review

EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

ROBIN BOOKER, INTERN

Internship at The Western Producer provided many learning opportunities Reduced competition has made it difficult for shippers to fairly negotiate with the railways. | Panel, which stated in its 2010 report that “it has long been recognized in transportation law that regulations are required to address the potential abuse of market power by the railways.”

Granted, rail service for grain shipments has generally improved since the rail service review process began.

Farmers will be counting on the new legislation to backstop and enhance these improvements for the long term.

In a speech this fall, Mongeau called the railways the “true backbone of the Canadian economy.”

But if the railways are the backbone, then we also need to recognize that agriculture puts the meat on those bones by contributing more than $18 billion a year to the Canadian economy.

Canada is the world’s fifth largest exporter of agriculture and food

products, with more than 90 percent of our farmers’ livelihoods dependent on the sale of products that are exported or export priced.

The grain industry spends $1.4 billion on rail freight annually, exporting 35 million tonnes of grain.

And farmers need to get their crops to port.

Getting a better rail service deal that provides balance so that Canadian farmers and the grain industry can count on the rail cars arriving on time is not optional.

It is essential for the agriculture industry to grow and for the Canadian economy as a whole to prosper. Canada’s export competitiveness in the global market is hindered when trains are late without explanation, and it is just not fair when penalties are one-sided against shippers.

This is why the new rail service leg-

islation is needed and why the Grain Growers supports the federal government’s move to introduce this bill to assure more balance in dealing with the railways.

We were glad to see that the legislation included a right to a service level agreement, an arbitration process when negotiations fail and consequences for the railways when they don’t live up to their obligations.

Hopefully, the “true backbone,” as CN likes to call itself, can take a step back from the rhetoric and try to understand these are the bare bones that shippers, including farmers, need to meet Canada’s growth potential.

Price predictions like tossing a dart blindfolded HURSH ON AG

anuary is the time for predictions, particularly about prices in the year ahead.

Whether it is Crop Production Week in Saskatoon, Manitoba’s Ag Days in Brandon or Farm Tech in Edmonton, the programs include lots of market prognosticating. Cattle producers will get some of that as well at events such as the Saskatchewan Beef Industry Conference.

The speakers may do a great job of describing supply and demand and the price gyrations to date, but predicting the future is a bit like tossing a dart at a target while blindfolded.

One analyst recently wrote that new crop canola prices could drop to as low as $10 a bushel or go as high as $15 or $16. He’ll probably be right, but the prediction isn’t too valuable.

This year, even more than most, predictions are going to be all over the map. There are just too many wild cards in the equation. It’s pretty tough to nail down commodity prices when no one can predict the weather and the world economy with any certainty.

The trend is your friend. That’s one of the principles of market watching.

Whatever the current trend, it’s likely to continue. If prices are edging up, if prices are edging down or if prices are locked in a particular range, the best bet for the immediate future is more of the same.

As far as trend yields, the U.S. corn crop broke all the assumptions in 2012. No one foresaw the dramatic drought-induced production drop.

Here in Western Canada, canola yields were significantly off the norm because of a variety of factors. Who

could have predicted aster yellows or the huge September winds that rolled canola swaths?

Maybe you go back to the trend yield for Canadian canola in 2013, but what do you assume for U.S. corn? It’s early, but it’s also dry in much of the American corn belt.

A year ago, the outlook for feeder cattle prices was absolutely stellar.

Cow-calf producers were looking forward to their best paycheques ever. That was quashed by skyrocketing corn prices, which pulled up feed barley values. And then, adding insult to injury was the XL Foods fiasco.

In the end, 2012 fall calf prices ended up close to 2011 values. That was considerably better than previous years but a disappointment compared to what might have been.

Most grain prices went the opposite direction. In January 2012, many analysts said canola prices were on the way down. One analyst said prices as low as $9 a bu. were likely in the next year or year and a half.

Pea prices have also outperformed expectations. No one was predicting yellow peas in the $8.50 a bushel range or the huge premium being enjoyed by green peas.

Don’t get me wrong. I enjoy market analysis and I’ll be listening to as many presentations as I can this month. And I appreciate the analysts who generate conclusions with actual price predictions, rather than those who refuse to be pinned down.

But I also appreciate seeing and hearing the actual new crop prices that start to emerge in January. So far, we know that new crop canola futures minus a typical basis means about $11.50 a bu. for fall delivery.

And there are new crop yellow mustard bids in the 40 cent a pound range, with brown at 34 or 35 cents.

Predictions are useful for planning.

Actual bids are bankable.

he worst $25 I ever spent was at a horse sale in Yorkton, Sask.

I had already purchased what I wanted — a docile yet sturdy gelding that seemed healthy and responded well when ridden through the ring.

My buying was done.

Then the gate opened for the next horse and one of the most homely creatures I’ve ever seen bolted through.

I still can’t explain what came over me.

The auctioneer started the bid at $25 but there weren’t any takers. He was about to declare no sale, when I looked up to see my hand holding my bid number in the air. Sold!

My next mistake on that trainwreck of an adventure was to let him into the pasture when I got home instead of keeping him in the barn for a couple of days.

Did I mention he was still a stud?

He didn’t stick around for long.

Thankfully harvest was already complete so there were no crops for him to trample. I took oats out to him, but as soon as he saw me he headed straight for the bush.

I saddled up a horse a couple times to try and rope him, but I couldn’t even get close.

For the next month the children on the school bus played spot the pony, in which the first person to see him won.

I had all but given up and was about to take out Mr. Winchester to help catch that pony when I got a call from one of the RM councillors —the pony was at the pound after busting into a neighbour’s corral while trying to get at a mare.

The pony seemed calm at the councillor’s farm, so I climbed into the pen to get a rope on him. He slowly walked up to me, pivoted on his front legs and kicked me square in the knee.

That round went to him, but I won the day because he was a gelding by nightfall.

There were many learning opportunities during my internship at The Western Producer, but they were much less painful, and at the end of the day they provided me with something far more useful then a miserable pony.

Thank you to the Producer for giving me the opportunity, and to the people I wrote about for allowing me to tell their stories.

WHO PAYS? To the Editor: I read in the Nov. 22 Western Producer, with great interest, SARM (Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities) lobby for farmers, and APAS (Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan) lobby

I’ve never had an RM councillor or APAS member ask me for my opinion or I’ve never seen a questionnaire as to what we, the farmers, want.

To find out what this costs me is impossible. As far as I’m concerned SARM should get out of lobbying and get down to business of roads, bridges, etc.

APAS has no purpose, so get rid of it.

All they do is make a comment once in awhile to keep their jobs. If I want to join a lobby group I can pay my fee and have some input.

How much does it cost to have SARM conventions twice a year? I have never heard what it costs to have APAS do nothing.

• Break its promise not to privatize our money-saving crowns? Wall, Bill Boyd and Ken Cheveldayoff took their profits and privatized SaskTel’s, SaskEnergy’s and SaskPower’s out-of-province assets.

SUMMER ART SCHOOL To the Editor:

Banking can be this comfortable ® / The TD logo and other trade-marks are the property of The Toronto-Dominion Bank or a wholly-owned subsidiary, in Canada and/or other countries.

The announced closure of the Kenderdine Summer Art School at Emma Lake, Sask., is of concern to me.

I visited there once or twice when my mother and another farm woman were students, “the two old ladies” among mostly teachers. They shared

OPINION one of the rough cabins. A painting of the interior done one rainy day, a wood stove and bracketed kerosene lamp, mother’s straw hat hanging from an easel: these were familiar to mother, who had been on a homestead from 1910.

Mother had a lifetime interest in art doing scenes from their farm in Iowa.

Her father gave encouragement, some early correspondence lessons, training at a girls college — Red Wing, Minnesota — where she learned oil painting, a winter at Winnipeg School of Art doing human anatomy drawings.

Her acquaintance with Augustus Kenderdine, shortly after he became art instructor at the Saskatoon campus, came while he was in the chilly top level of the physics building. I vaguely remember a tall man wearing a long lab coat, unfamiliar to me from the farm.

Mother had her sister on campus,

married to farm foreman T. Brydon.

My father took me by train to B.C. An early homesteader, he was proud of mother’s art and later in the pre-Second World War days encouraged her to take further anatomy drawing at Winnipeg School from Lemoine Fitzgerald, recently given recognition, an invited member of Group of Seven.

I was reminded of Emma Lake on a visit to the Kleinburg Gallery where Group of Seven artifacts showed their interests similar to Kenderdine’s — sketches, sometimes on birch bark, wrinkled paint tubes in small carrying cases. Oil painting had a long history.

Kenderdine had skill in blending colours with his thumb or a silk rag.

His European training blended with homesteading among Lloydminster pioneers (and) formed the inspiration for the first wilderness school.

Thereafter, the altered alfalfa genetics will probably require additional modifications, such as more chemicals to control the problem the GM created in the first place. Would GM also change perennial alfalfa to an annual, costing the farmer more money? Leave alfalfa alone.

I believe it was Henry Kissinger who said, “control the oil, control the government — control the food, control the people.” Seems that’s where we’re headed.

This is just another example of Canadian government once again endorsing a large corporation’s wish list. GM foods are on the way to eventually controlling all North American foodstuffs and thus controlling all farmers and ranchers.

BIBLICAL WOMEN | ROLE MODELS

A woman of distinction SPIRITUAL VIGNETTES

JOYCE SASSE

T

he sages of 2,500 years ago had great respect for the woman whose story they told in Proverbs 31:10-31.

Her husband had to be away for blocks of time serving at the king’s behest while she remained at home caring for their farm and household.

She was admired for her astuteness in business, her managerial skills and the deftness of her hands in collecting wool and weaving fine linen.

In the home, while he did gang labour, she served as a fine teacher and “law giver.” Her whole household was encouraged to live according to the tenants of the faith.

She knew how to wield power on behalf of her family but did so in a benevolent way. At the same time she found ways to give support to the needy.

“She opens her mouth in wisdom” to the extent that others called her blessed.

Imagine other hardworking women living on the edge of scarcity hearing this story. It may be men who were re citing the poem, but it affirmed the work of the woman’s hands, and it gave status to the endeavours they must have faced every day. Ordinary women can do extraordinary things.

So the story of this woman of distinction is celebrated.

Ellen Davis, in her book Scripture, Culture and Agriculture, carefully translates the story from the Hebrew script. It concludes with the tribute: “Many daughters have done valiantly, but you have surpassed them all.

Charm is a lie, and beauty a vapour.

The God-fearing woman is the one who should be praised.”

Imagine what it means to hear the words, “(let us) celebrate her for the fruit of her hands, and let her works praise her in the gates.”

CANOLA | PROCESSING

FEDERAL LAND | COMMUNITY PASTURES

U.S. canola crushing plants pop up as oil demand rises

Sask. reiterates plan for community pastures

BY SEAN PRATT

The Saskatchewan government has decided to lease or sell former federal community pastures to patrons, but agriculture minister Lyle Stewart continues to receive advice on the issue.

The Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan and Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities debated the issue at their fall conventions.

Ottawa will turn over the 60 federal pastures to the province by 2018. Ten

Canola processing plants are increasingly dotting the map of the United States.

The latest facility to start processing seed is the Legumex Walker Inc. plant in Warden, Washington.

The company is preparing to handle commercial volumes of canola in the first quarter of 2013.

“We are thrilled that our team is now operating the facility,” said company president Joel Horn in a Dec. 27 news release.

“We are still on track to put the plant in service for commercial production on or ahead of schedule.”

Pacific Coast Canola is expected to process 379,500 tonnes of canola annually once the plant is at full capacity. It is expected to produce 142,500 tonnes of oil and 227,000 tonnes of meal annually.

It is the second new canola crush facility to begin operations in the United States in the last five months.

Northstar Agri-Industries opened a similar-sized plant near Hallock, Minnesota, in August.

Northstar announced in October that it intends to build a second plant in Enid, Oklahoma. The proposed facility would have the capacity to process 760,000 tonnes annually.

Construction is expected to be completed before the 2015 harvest.

Other operators of U.S. canola crushing plants include ADM AgriIndustries Ltd., Bunge Oils and Producers Cooperative Oil Mill.

Keith Peltier, director of the Northern Canola Growers Association, said canola “has some legs” south of the border due to the health attributes of the oil.

Growers produced a record 1.13 million tonnes of canola in 2012, up 61 percent over the previous year due to a replanting of acres in North Dakota that were flooded out in 2011.

“Canola had a good year in terms of acreage last year. I think we’ll be hard-pressed to duplicate that because last year was not a good production year in terms of yield,” said Peltier.

The national average yield was 1,430 pounds per acre, down from 1,713 in 2010 and 1,811 in 2009, the two years prior to the flood year.

Peltier anticipates acreage may shrink by about 20 percent.

In a document accompanying its third quarter 2012 results, Legumex Walker said trans-fat bans in places like New York city, Philadelphia and California have shifted demand to canola oil from hydrogenated soy oil.

Informa Economics estimates U.S. canola oil consumption increased 47 percent to 1.9 billion kilograms annually between 2010 and 2012.

That increased demand is prompting more canola planting and processing south of the border.

Legumex Walker’s Warden plant, the only commercial scale canola crusher west of the Rocky Mountains, is located near many of the largest potato processors and canola oil users in the U.S. It is also well positioned to service food processors along the West Coast.

were selected for transition before the 2014 grazing season.

Stewart has said the pastures will be maintained in blocks, patrons will have the first opportunity to lease or own and sales will be based on market value. Native prairie that is sold will be subject to no-break and nodrain conservation easements.

He has also said he expects many more will be leased than will be sold.

APAS passed resolutions last month calling for public ownership to be maintained and for a committee to develop a governance structure that incorporates the existing

federal management expertise. Delegates also said the land’s environmental integrity should be protected, and that all the pastures should be combined with the existing 54 provincial pastures into one system.

SARM delegates earlier voted to lobby the province to retain ownership and develop a land management structure to ensure the pastures serve local needs while operating on a cost recovery basis.

They also voted to lobby Ottawa and Regina to support local retention committees before any land is sold.

Stewart has repeatedly said patrons

will get first dibs on the land.

“We aren’t selling these to the highest bidder on the open market,” he told the APAS convention. “We’re only dealing with the patrons.”

He said other parties have expressed interest in the pastures, and some are “willing to stroke a cheque for all of them.” However, the province has decided not to proceed that way.

He rejected the argument from conservationists that producers won’t manage the land properly and that they will break the land for cultivation. Most of the land in question isn’t suitable for farming.

GRAIN TRANSPORTATION | REVENUE CAP

Both national railways exceed revenue cap Research foundation gets $672,000 | Money supports research into development of new crop varieties and uses

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Canada’s major railway companies have been ordered to pay more than $672,000 to the Western Grains Research Foundation to support western Canadian grain research.

The Canadian Transportation Agency announced Dec. 19 that Canadian National Railway and Canadian Pacific Railway exceeded their railway revenue caps for the 2011-12 crop year.

Railway revenue caps limit the

amount of money that the major railway companies can earn from the movement of western Canadian grain.

CN earned revenues of $542.8 million on grain movement in 2011-12, roughly $240,000 above its revenue cap.

CP earned roughly $494.4 million from grain, or $400,000 above its cap.

The companies have until midJanuary to compensate the WGRF for revenue earned in excess of the caps, a total value of $640,000.

In addition, a five percent penalty is

GARTH PATTERSON WESTERN GRAINS RESEARCH FOUNDATION

imposed on each railway company, accounting for an additional $32,000.

WGRF executive director Garth Patterson said the $672,000 will be directed into the WGRF endowment fund, which is valued at $90 million.

The fund will provide up to $15 million over the next four years to support research in agronomy, variety development, minor crop development, crop use, crop risk management and post harvest management.

It is over and above other producer contributions made through production levies.

“It (the endowment fund) has built up to the level now where we’re comfortable making significant expenditures out of it while still maintaining our goal of keeping it sustainable,” Patterson said.

He said the best case scenario for farmers is when the railways don’t exceed the revenue cap.

“Really, any time there is a payment, it’s a bit of a double edged sword,” he said.

“It can be used for research, which does return value to farmers, but on the other hand, that’s money that didn’t make it into farmers’ pockets.”

The $640,000 penalty accounts for less than 0.1 percent of total revenues generated through the movement of western Canadian grain last year.

Total revenues amounted to more than 1.03 billion in 2011-12, up from $952 million in 2010-11.

About 33.1 million tonnes of western grain were moved in the 2011-12 crop year, 6.2 percent more than total movements in 2010-11, the CTA said.

The agency determines railway revenue caps annually and then calculates every December if the railways exceeded their caps in the previous crop year.

Revenue caps are calculated using a formula that is based on several factors, including the volume-related composite price index.

It is an inflation index that accounts for forecasted increases in the costs of railway labour, fuel, material and capital purchases made by federally regulated railway companies.

The VRCPI increased by roughly 9.5 percent as of August 2012.

If all other factors remained constant, that 9.5 percent increase would translate into an extra $100 million in combined allowable revenues for the two rail companies in 2012-13.

REGINA BUREAU

Viterra country and head office employees are expected to vote later in January on tentative collective agreements reached with the grain company in mid-December.

The Grain and General Services Union Local 1 and 2 committees and Viterra management agreed to settlements just days before Glencore’s takeover of Viterra was completed Dec. 17.

Ratification meetings are scheduled between Jan. 7 and 17. The company has already ratified the agreement.

GSU general secretary Hugh Wagner said Local 1 represents 900 to 1,000 workers in country operations and maintenance in Saskatchewan, while Local 2 represents 200 workers in the Regina head office. Workers at the Calgar y head office, which Glencore is moving back to Regina, were not GSU members.

Some Western Producer staff members are members of the GSU but form a different local and are not part of this particular bargaining group.

SUPPLY MANAGEMENT | EDUCATION

Tours educate about supply managed sectors Industries hold tours to dispel myths and explain benefits of the supply management system

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

PONOKA, Alta. — It could have been called Supply Management 101.

The growing opposition to supply management recently prompted a group of producers and officials from supply managed industries to invite reporters and politicians to tour their farms and learn what their businesses are all about.

“I think it’s very misunderstood in a lot of circles,” said Susan Gal, general manager of Egg Farmers of Alberta. “ We w e re h o p i n g t o e d u c at e some of these folks here about supply management and some of the benefits.”

Gal said one of the biggest fallacies she wanted to dispel is that consumers could buy their eggs, cheese, milk, chicken and turkey cheaper than they can now if supply management disappeared.

The amount of supply managed food is equal to the demand, she said.

“Consumers are kidding themselves if they think long term the price would go down.”

She said farmers would join their counterparts from other farming sectors on the roller-coaster of international markets without supply management .

Members of Alberta Turkey Producers, Alberta Hatching Egg Producers, Egg Farmers of Alberta, Alberta Chicken Producers and Alberta Milk joined to welcome politicians and reporters into a dairy barn and a broiler chicken barn.

Strathcona MLA Jacquie Fenske said the amount of time, effort and money spent on safety, biosecurity and livestock comfort has changed dramatically over the years since she grew up on a dairy farm.

She said the tour was an opportunity for her to talk to producers about supply management and other agricultural issues, including the benefits and pitfalls of unpasteurized milk.

“I have had interesting conversations over and beyond what we are seeing,” said Fenske.

“Seeing is different than hearing.”

Edmonton MLA Steven Young said he jumped at the chance to come on the tour.

He had never been to a dairy or broiler operation and was amazed at the food safety standards required by the industries.

He said the tour helped him understand the complexities of the industries and gave him a greater understanding of food safety “I am certainly reassessed.”

Young said pure economists may not advocate supply management, but pure economics don’t take into account food safety, biosecurity other food assurances.

“At the base level, we have to have confidence in the food supply, and that is something we can’t compromise on.”

Karlee Conway, communications co-ordinator with Alberta Milk, said many people are confused about

how supply management works.

The tour was designed to show people the barns and give visitors an opportunity to talk to producers to gain a better understanding of the system.

Mike Southwood, general manager of Alberta Milk, said the supply managed sectors wanted to show visitors that there is more than just beef in the province.

“We need to demonstrate the value of our industry to the rural economy,” he said. “We wanted to show what we contribute to agriculture.”

Dairy farmer Albert Kamps said it’s important for people to take a closer look at supply managed farms and learn more about the industry.

“It’s good for people to see what’s happening at the farm level,” he said.

“It’s good to build relationships with these folks.”

ENVIRONMENT | WATER QUALITY

New food designation may save Lake Winnipeg Lake friendly | Proposed label would indicate food produced with practices that reduce nutrients flowing into water bodies

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

In the age of food labels such as grass fed, free run, gluten free, omega 3 and whole grain, a Manitoba organization wants to add another designation — lake friendly.

A coalition of municipalities, Keystone Agricultural Producers, the International Institute for Sustainable Development, the Manitoba Chambers of Commerce, the Red River Basin Commission and the Manitoba government has worked

for the last few years on ways to reduce the amount of nutrients flowing into Lake Winnipeg.

Members of the initiative, called Lake Friendly, are encouraging Manitoba residents to take the necessary actions to prevent the eutrophication of Lake Winnipeg. As part of that objective, Lake Friendly is developing a designation for farmers who adopt practices that preserve water quality.

“It would be a way to identify producers that are working on lake friendly initiatives and link consum-

ers, who are concerned about our waters, to those producers,” said Colleen Sklar, the coalition’s executive director.

Sklar hopes such a designation will offer marketing opportunities for farmers. For instance, producers who follow Lake Friendly guidelines might become a preferred supplier of meat, poultry, grain and oilseeds to food processors and restaurants.

“Yes, I believe this to be the first of its kind in Canada, where we identify supply and demand chains and begin to link them together,” Sklar said from

her office in Clandeboye, Man. “Just think, if we could get big companies to purchase only products that were certified … that could really provide some incentive to producers.”

The Lake Friendly designation is in the development stage, but Sklar said Manitoba farmers like the concept.

“We’ve had initial meetings with 10 different producer groups and all the farmers were more than willing to get engaged. Everybody was positive about it.”

Brandon, said Lake Friendly’s goals are relevant for producers across Manitoba and not just those who farm directly south of the lake in the Red River Valley.

“It’s about the whole watershed,” said Mazier, a KAP vice-president.

“The group made an impression on me on how they tie it all together.…

The water that runs past my farm (has) an impact on that lake.”

Nutrient loading became a hot issue in Manitoba in the mid-2000s when algal blooms covered hundreds of square kilometres of the world’s 10th largest fresh-water lake.

Many urban residents in Manitoba blame fertilizers and livestock manure for polluting Lake Winnipeg. Consequently, many producers feel the government and public are unfairly singling out agriculture as the villain.

“Agriculture gets a very broad brush,” Mazier said.

Lake Friendly isn’t interested in pointing fingers. Instead, it wants to build on what people are doing right.

In the case of agriculture, hundreds of producers are already using beneficial practices, Sklar said.

“The public sometimes doesn’t understand that producers are working to protect water,” she said.

People also don’t always understand the issue is about the choices and behaviour of all Manitoba residents, she added To foster personal accountability, Lake Friendly has developed a list of actions to preserve water quality so that homeowners, cottagers and municipalities know how to be part of the solution.

Sklar hopes to launch an information campaign this summer, in which every producer in Manitoba will have a Lake Friendly farm book with a list of beneficial management practices connected to water quality.

BMPs include pasture management, completing an environmental farm plan and adhering to the four Rs of nutrient stewardship: right rate, right time, right place and right timing.

Mazier said the Lake Friendly designation represents an opportunity to educate urban residents about environmental stewardship on Manitoba farms.

“I’m doing my part.… This is what I’m doing,” he said. “It’s really a positive message on farming…. I think that’s where they (producers) are getting the bang for their buck (if they join this program).”

Water Stewardship Inc., a group in the Chesapeake Bay area of the United States, is developing a similar effort to designate farms according to water quality practices.

Excessive flows of nitrogen and phosphorus have caused biological dead zones in Chesapeake Bay, similar to what has happened in the Gulf of Mexico. Project managers are working with corporations to develop a food supply chain that reduces the amount of nutrients entering the estuary.

Proponents of the Lake Friendly designation are concentrating on Manitoba farmers, but scientists have estimated that 50 percent of all nutrients entering Lake Winnipeg originate from other locations in the lake’s massive watershed, which includes Saskatchewan, Alberta, Minnesota and North Dakota.

Pressure builds for better food at senior care homes Alberta resolution | Menus questioned RURAL DEVELOPMENT FUNDING

International cycling race set for rural Alberta

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

It’s not quite the Tour de France, but elite cyclists from around the world will cycle through rural Alberta next September in the Tour of Alberta.

The six-day, 850-kilometre stage race will begin in Edmonton Sept. 3 and end in Calgary Sept. 8.

The route needs to be officially sanctioned by international cycling bodies, but race organizers have mentioned Camrose, Devon, Drumheller and Kananaskis Country as possible places the cyclists will race through.

The 16 elite cycling teams of eight cyclists each will wheel through 16 to 18 rural communities during the race. Ten to 12 rural communities will be official hosts during the race to show off their local communities and regions.

The Rural Alberta Development Fund gave $3.5 million in funding to support the event and help Albertans welcome visitors. RADF money will focus on community festivals.

4-H CANADA RETIREMENT

4-H seeks new CEO 4-H Canada is seeking new leadership after Mike Nowosad retired as chief executive officer in late 2012.

During his 22 years with the youth group, he worked closely with the national 4-H Council and Foundation.

During his tenure, 4-H commissioned the Measures of Success report gauging the impact and value of the group across Canada, implemented a national 4-H resource development and sharing network and applied risk management processes and initiatives to ensure the needs of clients and members were met.

More recently, Nowosad was involved in helping define what the organization will stand for in the coming century.

4-H will mark its 100th year in Canada in 2013, with a number of events planned from a gala in Winnipeg in May to a youth ag summit in Calgary in August.

The council expects to name a new CEO early in the new year.

EDMONTON — Seniors living in long-term care homes should be eating homemade soups, fresh vegetables and nice roast dinners rather than warmed up, mass produced food pre-cooked elsewhere and trucked to facilities across the province, says the deputy reeve of the Municipal District of Willow Creek.

Ian Sundquist said the food was so bad at the Willow Creek Continuing Care centre in his municipality that the problem was raised with government officials and a resolution brought to the Alberta Association of Municipal Districts and Counties convention.

“If we don’t keep government’s feet to the fire, we’ll be letting the people down,” he said.

“The food is so bad. These people don’t have a choice of what they eat.

These are the people who deserve to be fed well.”

Sundquist said after hearing plenty of complaints about the poor quality of food served in long-term facilities, he and other council members arranged to eat a meal at the facility.

“We went and made arrangements to have a meal. It was so-so.

We learned later the staff improved the meal that day,” Sundquist said after speaking in favour of a resolution that asked the government to ensure home cooking return to all Alberta Health Services long-term care facilities.

“The changes were brought in as cost savings, but it wasn’t. So much food is getting thrown out because nobody wants to eat it.”

Heather Truber, director of food safety, menu and supply for Alberta Health Services, said health minister Fred Horne heard so many complaints about the poor quality food this summer that he directed Alberta Health Services to make changes to improve food for residents by Dec. 1.

She said the department has since made changes to the food at Alberta Health Services facilities. AHS operates 72 of the province’s 173 long-term care facilities.

Food services staff travelled to all facilities this summer to talk to residents, family and the community about what they liked on the menu, what they missed and what they would like to see return.

“We have made a number of changes to the menu, all of them

made in response to requests to residents who live at each facility.”

Alberta Health Services was created in 2009 out of smaller regional health boards.

“We had amalgamated all of that menu planning and purchasing function and the benefits of that,” Truber said.

“It provided us with some consistent products and consistent contracts so that we could reap the benefit of larger purchasing power.”

But it also created problems.

“In some cases, maybe the items were not suited for the preparation method that we had, or the equipment the sites had. We did have some challenges with our food

products and we recognized that and we wanted to respond to residents’ feedback.”

After interviewing residents, Truber said they made immediate changes to the menu based on residents’ suggestions.

“For instance, some sites wanted some more of their cultural favourites. We started within a week serving some of their favourite soups or favourite desserts,” Truber said.

“We liked to say our meals were always healthy and nutritious and they may be now a bit more of what the residents specifically would like. The food was always healthy and nutritious. It may not have

been what they were familiar with and it may not have been as appealing as it should have been. I think we just enhanced that.”

Truber said food will continue to be a mixture of homemade and food prepared off site.

“We will continue to have a blend of those items, although we will have more items made at the site as requested by the residents.”

Sundquist said the food may have improved since he ate at the longterm care facility, but he wanted the issue brought up at the provincial municipalities convention to make sure other councillors were aware of potential problems with the food the residents were eating.

CLARE ROWSON, MD

Q:

A good friend of mine, aged 90 years, has had an itch, particularly on the upper body and arms. He has seen a specialist who said it was due to being in the hot sun for years as a farmer. She gave him Betaderm and Taro mometasone furoate, which seem to have been of little help. The man has had blood tests but the doctor says it isn’t caused by food allergies. After two years, he is still scratching. Do you have any suggestions?

A:

Pruritis or itchy skin can be distressing. The more the person is itchy, the more he scratches, and this causes secondary damage to the skin. An itch is a mild form of pain, so it indicates some damage to the skin or nerves, even if it is not visible as a rash.

Dry and itchy skin in elderly people is most likely to be due to environmental causes that can be corrected.

Excessive use of soaps, soaking too long in hot baths, overheated rooms in the winter and air conditioned rooms in the summer will all dry out the skin.

If the itch is only present on the upper part of the body, there could be contact dermatitis related to something that only has contact with that part. This could be caused by clothing, such as a wool sweater or laundry detergent. It might also be his shampoo. He could try switching to a baby shampoo.

Older people may also suffer from a condition known as brachioradial pruritis, which may be caused by longtime exposure to the sun. The outer sides of the arms seem to be affected more often than the hidden inner areas.

It may also be the result of nerve damage in the area of the cervical spine or neck from old whiplash types of injuries or osteoarthritis of the spine. Most 90-year-olds will have some degree of arthritis, which can be seen on an X-ray of the neck.

Kidney disease can also cause an intractable itch, but I expect the doctor has ruled this out with the blood tests.

Your friend could try a local anesthetic cream such as lanocaine or capsaicin cream, which depletes the nerve endings of chemical transmitters. They are available without a prescription.

There are also some prescription drugs that might help, but should only be used with caution and in small doses in the elderly. They include Elavil, which is often used for pain control or the anti-epileptic drug Gabapentin.

He should also cover up with long sleeves when going out in the sun, because heat and sunlight aggravate the condition.

ON THE FARM | AID WORK

Couple has off-farm jobs but heart connected to farm Value of livestock | Work for Heifer International Canada focuses on livestock as a means for community development

BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

OSLER, Sask. — Gord Enns and his wife, Lynne Driedger-Enns, have landed in the perfect location.

With family nearby and Saskatoon a short drive away, the couple’s rural home near Osler seems ideally located for the part-time Saskatchewan farmers.

The couple’s commute is an easy one. Nearby Martensville is where Driedger-Enns, a PhD candidate, teaches elementary school, and Saskatoon is where Enns serves as executive director for the national non-profit organization Heifer International Canada.

The pair attended the University of Saskatchewan where Enns studied animal science in the mid-1980s and spent time in Zimbabwe and India, with a lengthy stint in Regina in between. In the early 2000s, the couple settled into a home near the farmyard where Driedger-Enns grew up. “In a lot of ways, our family sort of cultivated the ground for us. That was quite a natural path for us to go and explore, but still have a strong sense of place,� said Driedger-Enns. “For me, wherever we were, I still always felt connected to the trees here and this place.�

Today, the couple owns a small parcel of land they are transitioning into organic production.

They and their grown sons, Thomas and Luke, help Driedger-Enns’s father and brother, an organic producer, with a 1,500-acre grain farm. “I was very connected to that farm experience as a child,� said Enns, who grew up in the city but had rural relatives. “I wanted, from an early age, to be connected to agriculture.�

It was a mutual interest in agriculture and community development that motivated the couple’s travels to Zimbabwe to work with the Mennonite Central Committee. In the late 1990s, after travelling to India where Driedger-Enns taught, the family spent a few months working at Heifer International at its educational ranch in Arkansas. “We just kind of fell in love with this organization, because for me it brought together development work and agriculture, specifically around animals,� said Enns. “The idea of Heifer International, in very simple terms, is livestock as a tool for community development.

That was powerful for us as a family to experience that.�

After returning to Saskatchewan a few years later, Enns was tapped to help launch the organization’s prairie chapter, which opened in 2002.

The organization, which recently received charitable status, has funded projects and worked with other organizations on food security in urban and First Nation communities across Western Canada. It also raises funds for the organization’s international efforts. “Even though a lot of farms have gone to massive scale, there’s still a healthy mixed farm economy in Sask-

atchewan, where people recognize the value of livestock, and in a country like Haiti, where a goat can make a huge difference to a family, there’s parallels there,� said Enns. “I think the story of Heifer International, farm families will get that, how livestock can be a tool. They can also be a savings account. They can teach kids a lot about motivation.�

From Enns’ work with cattle extension programs to the couple’s travels abroad and the family’s grain farm, a theme emerges. “I think it’s about community and it’s about family and it’s about values more than anything for us. We do have full-time jobs,� said Enns. “But we value the farm,� added Driedger-Enns.

BEWARE OF THIN ICE

Community grieves after sudden death

from both above and below the surface. Heavy snowfall can reduce the weight bearing capacity of ice, or can act as insulation, slowing the freezing process.

It’s the season to head outside with skates and sticks. Keep these safety tips in mind when near frozen water: • Aeration systems usually operate between December and March. They help prevent winterkill by circulating fresh air in shallow fish-bearing sloughs, creeks and lakes. That’s good for fish, but bad for structural stability because the air bubbling up to the surface can cause thin ice and open water. Water bodies with aeration systems should have posted warning signs and people are advised to stay clear.

• Ice strength should never be judged by appearance alone.

• Ice thickness is rarely uniform and can vary from safe to unsafe within a metre in any direction.

SPEAKING OF LIFE

• Large, deep lakes take longer to freeze and are slower to melt than smaller lakes.

• Changing temperatures, combined with snow and slush can cause thermal cracks and pressure ridges, contributing to unsafe ice conditions. Slush in particular indicates that ice is eroding

• Currents under the ice in a river or creek make the ice 15 percent weaker than the ice on a lake.

A s h o r t w h i l e a g o, a m a n who played first base on our slo-pitch team was killed in a car accident. We are like brothers and sisters out there. We care about each other.

Our problem is that our friend’s family is not planning a funeral any time soon. He comes from a large family. His parents seem to have the upper hand in this thing and they have asked his wife to postpone the funeral until later in the summer.

They are hoping that more of his family will be able to attend.

But that leaves those of us on his ball team sitting in the trench. We need some way to work this thing out and we were counting on the funeral to help us come to terms with the death of our friend.

Some players have suggested that we make our own memorial, kind of a community thing, to help us until his family organizes a funeral. I am not sure about this.

What do you think?

A memorial ser vice might work, but I am concerned that you and your teammates are not going to get the satisfaction you seek from it. I suggest you don’t plan a memorial service without the support from his family. The last thing that your friend would want is dissension within the ranks of all those whom he loved.

No one can deny the pain and torture a family carries when it grieves a sudden death. Your friend’s parents are undoubtedly looking for their family to come together for support through their grief.

I wonder if by being too sensitive to the needs of the family, we do not forget that a whole community is out there searching for support as well.

Your friend was young and still a vibrant member of the community and his community, in turn, deserves the opportunity to grieve and say goodbye to him.

I went through this when one of my sons died a couple of years ago.

The most beneficial process for ever yone would be to have the funeral first, to acknowledge your friend’s community as well as his family who are able to be there, and to have a family memorial later on when the extended family is able to attend.

It is a bit of a two-way street where the community needs to support y o u r f r i e n d’s f a m i l y a n d y o u r friend’s family needs to support the community. I am not sure that anyone has the right answer to your problem.

LOOKING BACK | JEWISH PIONEERS

Jewish merchants vital in Mennonite community Heritage society recognizes Jewish shop owners who laid the foundation for Winkler Man., to become a large commercial centre

BY RON FRIESEN FREELANCE WRITER

WINKLER, Man. — Arla Nitikman Strauss was born and raised in Winnipeg. But her roots are linked to the southern Manitoba Mennonite community of Winkler, the place where her Jewish ancestors arrived from the shtetls of Czarist Russia at the turn of the 20th century.

“I do feel the connection,” said Nitikman Strauss, a curriculum consultant with Manitoba Education. “I know that’s where my grandparents and great-grandparents settled. I know that my father was born there. I can also make connections to other people there, even though they’re not descendants.”

Mennonites and Jews may have seemed an unlikely combination during those early settlement years, but they actually were an ideal fit.

Conservative Mennonite religion frowned on members operating retail businesses, especially in a railway town, which offered access to the outside world and its temptations.

Jewish merchants helped fill that gap, providing vital goods and services to a growing Mennonite agrarian society.

Canadian immigration officials would sometimes direct Jewish migrants to the Winkler area, knowing their mercantile skills would be useful there.

“The Jewish merchant provided an intermediary position between the merchandising of the world and Mennonite conservatism,” said Hans Werner, a University of Winnipeg professor who has published a history of Winkler.

“They were two solitudes who shared a business arrangement that worked well for them.”

Jewish store owners in Winkler frequently employed wagon peddlers, who would travel to local Mennonite villages to sell or barter their household wares. Some eventually opened their own stores after raising enough capital.

Werner said Mennonites and Jews in those days had a lot in common.

They were nomadic people with a history of religious persecution in Europe. Both spoke similar languages of Yiddish and Low German.

Both also possessed a sense of frugality and making do with what they could afford.

“There was this general notion among conservative Mennonites that one ought not to waste and one ought to be frugal. That translated into, why would you buy something that’s not needed for a price that’s too high?”

A July 1, 1916, parade shows the many stores operated by Jewish merchants in Winkler, Man. BELOW: A grain elevator was built in the 1950s by Jewish businessperson Isaac Sirluck, who came to Winkler in 1901. | WINKLER HERITAGE SOCIETY PHOTOS The notion of wealth through frugality was a thread that ran through the community for decades, said Werner.

Werner suggests early Jewish merchants may have helped lay the groundwork for Winkler’s later transformation into southern Manitoba’s largest commercial centre.

At its height in the 1920s, Winkler’s Jewish community numbered about 50 people with its own synagogue.

Gradually, however, families moved to Winnipeg where a larger ethnic community offered better opportunities for them and their children.

In the coming years, their descendants would include many doctors, lawyers, judges, educators and other professionals, as well as a University of Manitoba president.

On May 26, 2002, members of the Jewish Heritage Centre of Western Canada and the Winkler Heritage Society gathered to unveil a plaque commemorating 15 pioneer Jewish families who settled in Winkler between 1890 and 1914.

Nitikman Strauss, who helped organize the event, said it was an

amazing experience to trace family trees and discover long lost cousins descended from the original Jewish settlers.

The event was also important in

celebrating a little-known chapter in Manitoba history, said Martin Buchwald, 76, a former architect whose grandfather, Max, started out as a peddler and eventually ran a general

store in Winkler.

“I think it says volumes about the openness of the Mennonite community to the history of their area,” Buchwald said.

THE PERFECT TREE

AG NOTES B.C. PROTECTS WATER The B.C. government has amended its controlled alien species regulation to include tough fines for those who introduce invasive species into local ecosystems.

The strengthened regulation acts on a previous commitment to ban the snakehead fish.

Main measures include:

• Prohibiting possession, breeding, release and transportation of highrisk aquatic species such as the snakehead. Releasing a live snakehead into local waters could result in a fine of up to $250,000.

• Requiring that no invasive zebra or quagga mussel, alive or dead, be present on boats or related equipment. Failure to clean mussels off boats or equipment could result in a fine of up to $100,000.

Until now, the controlled alien species regulation was used to control the possession, breeding, shipping and releasing of animals that are not native to B.C., that pose a serious risk to the health or safety of people, such as tigers.

The new rules target specific aquatic invasive species to prevent live species from coming into contact with B.C. waters.

SPECIAL REPORT

For decades, Canada has boasted of its “balanced position” in trade negotiations — demanding foreign access for competitive export products, such as grain and livestock, while insisting on protection for sensitive products such as dairy, poultry and eggs.

A Nov. 22, 2005, unanimous House of Commons vote was a dramatic moment in solidifying that position as MPs said supply management protections cannot be touched. A reconstruction of the day building to the evening vote reveals intense behind-thescenes negotiations, political tensions within parties and a Conservative compromise that helped the party win government two months later. Ottawa bureau correspondent Barry Wilson examines the events leading up to the dramatic day.

A BRILLIANT PLAY How one move changed the course of the game for supply management and international trade

I

T WAS A FLEETING Parliament Hill meeting of political opponents Nov 22, 2005, that sealed a deal to engrave supply management protectionism into Canadian trade policy stone.

Inside the House of Commons, MPs debated a Bloc Québécois motion that Canada reject any trade deal that would liberalize highly protectionist supply management rules.

Those rules set strict production quotas and prices for dairy farmers and quotas for the egg and poultry industries, while shielding them from most foreign competition with a system of high tarrifs on incoming products above certain quantities.

Outside, two political leaders met briefly in a parliamentary side room to make it possible.

BQ leader Gilles Duceppe agreed that his party would amend its motion to add a Conservative proposal that any future trade agreement should “ensure (it) strengthens the market access of Canada’s agricultural exporters.”

Conser vative leader Stephen Harper, a protectionism opponent in private life and an economist with an aversion to tariffs leading a prairie-

based free trade party in public life, said OK. Underlings worked out a deal that the two leaders ratified. Then, with the New Democratic Party on side, all that remained was to see if the governing minority Liberals would sign on, despite misgivings, and make the vote unanimous.

“I was working with the UPA (Union des Producteurs Agricoles) to get the resolution passed, and we wanted it unanimous,” BQ MP and motion sponsor André Bellavance said.

“It was not easy at the beginning of the day because the Conservatives were not sure, so we added words to the motion for them. Mr. Duceppe and Mr. Harper talked in the lobby about that. I was there. The Conservatives got on board.”

The rookie MP’s main problem was with the Liberals.

Cabinet ministers in the minority government were heading off two weeks later for a World Trade Organization meeting in Hong Kong, and they thought the motion would tie their hands.

“The Liberals worked all day to have changes that would give them more latitude at negotiations,” said

Bellavance. “(Agriculture minister Andy) Mitchell talked to me about it through the day. I remember I had a headache because of the pressure.”

The 41-year-old former radio announcer from a rural central Quebec riding had been elected just the previous year and had been named BQ agriculture critic only months before.

Suddenly, he was thrust into the middle of one of the most political agricultural issues in the country.

It was a day soaked with intense politics, high-level strategy and enormous electoral stakes.

Rarely in recent decades has an agricultural issue commanded such high-level attention. _______

F

OR THE BQ, IT WAS A relatively simple issue and highly political.

The following week, they planned to join with the Conservatives and NDP to bring down the Liberal government for a winter election. Supply management was a huge issue in their rural Quebec ridings, and there were fears a December WTO deal could under-

We knew an election was coming so I said to the UPA, I think we have a chance to ask them (the Liberals) to vote for it before an election campaign.

They wouldn’t want to go to Quebec, Ontario and other provinces where supply management was important to explain in a campaign why they voted against supply management.

ANDRÉ BELLAVANCE BLOC QUEBECOIS MP

Commons public galleries were filled with UPA and supply management farmers.

HE ISSUE WAS MUCH MORE complex for the westernbased Conservatives.

Their voter base was largely profree trade, as were their MPs. In the 2004 election, when they held the Liberals to a minority, almost 70 percent of Conservative MPs elected were from the West, none from Quebec and only two dozen from Ontario’s 103 ridings.

The party needed an Ontario breakthrough and rural Ontario was the best bet.

“It was a political decision that was made around the time of the formation of the merged party (in 2003),” said Tom Flanagan, former national Conservative campaign director and former Harper chief of staff who is now at the University of Calgary.

“We knew it was bad economics at the time but believed it was the only political course. Another factor was the calculation that the only chance the Conservatives had to win Ontario seats and perhaps in Quebec were rural seats where the dairy industry is relatively strong.”

There were politics to be played with the help of the powerful UPA. “We knew an election was coming so I said to the UPA, I think we have a chance to ask them (the Liberals) to vote for it before an election campaign,” said Bellavance.

TRADE | SUPPLY MANAGEMENT

Trade negotiators seek ways around supply management stalemate

I

nternational trade talks have been in stalemate since MPs voted unanimously seven years ago to preserve the supply management status quo.

As a result, the impact of the motion has yet to be tested.

Critics and supporters alike are watching Canada-European Union free trade talks and nascent TransPacific Partnership negotiations to see if the government feels bound by the resolution and if it moves, what fallout follows.

“I do think some upcoming deals will be a test,” Canadian AgriFood Trade Alliance executive director Kathleen Sullivan said.

“It hasn’t affected deals yet because there have been none, but it certainly is raised by people in the Cairns group and others when we meet with them, so in that way it has had an effect. I think we have handed people a stick on a silver platter to beat us with.”

As recently as 2002, a resolution from the Canadian Alliance party (a Conservative predecessor) had said that any trade agreement affecting supply management would have to make sure those farmers were given foreign market access “and that there will be a significant transition period in any move towards a market-driven environment.”

Three years later, MPs were being told that a stand against any move

André Bellavance, the Bloc Québécois MP who moved the motion Nov. 22, 2005, said the target at the time was an impending World Trade Organization meeting in Hong Kong, which appeared to offer a chance of breakthrough and compromise.

Instead, the meeting in December 2005 led to WTO stalemate that has only deepened over the years. Governments are now moving their attention to regional trade negotiations.

“In that way, I think the motion is more important now than it was then with CETA and TPP coming,” he said.

“The government has its direction and industry will be watching.”

Former Canadian agriculture negotiator Mike Gifford said the parliamentary vote came, ironically, at a time when the dairy sector was signalling that some compromise was possible, although not on over-quota tariffs that give the industry stability to set production quota levels with

the knowledge of what percentage of the market is available to imports.

“When I talked to supply management leaders privately, at least some of them, even post-2005 they recognized that at the end of the day, this was not a sustainable position, and that Canada would have to make some concessions,” Gifford said.

He was Canada’s chief agricultural negotiator in Geneva for many years, including talks on the Uruguay Round that led to the last WTO deal in 1993.

“But they would also say, quite accurately, that the politics within the farm community in Canada is such that we daren’t say this in public before the end game because God knows what will happen in the negotiation,” Gifford said.

“We can’t say anything publicly until it is clear that a deal is coming together, that it is clear we are where we were in 1993 again.”

Although it would deviate from the

“toward a market-driven environment” for dairy and poultry was politically necessary.

Despite a day of Conservative speeches extolling the virtues of agricultural exports, they all voted for high tariff protection for some sectors.

Two months later came the Central Canadian breakthrough: 15 new mainly rural seats in Ontario, 10 in Quebec and the first Conservative government elected in almost two decades. _______

that I support supply management and there was no option other than to support the resolution.”

Despite opposition charges that the Liberals were waffling and trying to dilute supply management support, Mitchell said his vote for the motion was never in doubt.

“I do think it was an important expression of parliamentary opinion that, although not binding, governments have an obligation to listen to.”

In the lead-up to the Nov. 22 vote, UPA leadership arranged a meeting with then prime minister and Montreal MP Paul Martin to warn about the consequences of not supporting the motion.

Afterward, Canadian export lobbyists who attended the Hong Kong WTO meeting said they overheard Mitchell apologize to then agriculture negotiator Steve Verheul about the motion.

“I don’t remember that, but it wouldn’t surprise me that I said we have just added another complication to your job,” said Mitchell, now a municipal politician in the Peterborough, Ont., area.

F

OR THE GOVERNING Liberals, the political complication was that they had to live with the decision.

Andy Mitchell spent the day trying to convince opposition MPs that the motion would be more tenable if it called for negotiators to protect supply management but not to specify how it must be done.

“I would have been more comfortable with a motion that simply dealt with the end goal,” he said.

“But at the end of the day, I was going to show Canadian producers

2005 vote and cause a political uproar from the supply managed sector and opposition politicians, there is growing speculation that Canada could offer more access by increasing low-tariff imports brought in under tariff rate quotas. Proponents of the idea said that would be a concession without destabilizing the supply management system.

Liberal trade critic Wayne Easter, a self-described “fierce defender” of supply management who voted for the resolution but thought it was too restrictive, hints at that potential solution.

“The system cannot be negotiated away,” he said. “You can move on access, but you cannot move on tariffs and that’s what’s crucial to the system.”

Former trade negotiator Michael Hart does not under-estimate the power of the supply management lobby to dissuade government from approving any weakening of support for the system’s protections.

W

HEN THE POLITICAL smoke cleared after the vote, Quebec and supply management leaders cheered and returned to their farms convinced of political support.

Flanagan said the campaign for the Nov. 22 Commons vote was an important illustration of the political power of Canada’s dairy farmer lobby.

“These people are relentless,” he said.

TRADE | SUPPLY MANAGEMENT

Trade negotiators seek ways around supply management stalemate

I

nternational trade talks have been in stalemate since MPs voted unanimously seven years ago to preserve the supply management status quo.

As a result, the impact of the motion has yet to be tested.

Critics and supporters alike are watching Canada-European Union free trade talks and nascent TransPacific Partnership negotiations to see if the government feels bound by the resolution and if it moves, what fallout follows.

“I do think some upcoming deals will be a test,” Canadian AgriFood Trade Alliance executive director Kathleen Sullivan said.

“It hasn’t affected deals yet because there have been none, but it certainly is raised by people in the Cairns group and others when we meet with them, so in that way it has had an effect. I think we have handed people a stick on a silver platter to beat us with.”

As recently as 2002, a resolution from the Canadian Alliance party (a Conservative predecessor) had said that any trade agreement affecting supply management would have to make sure those farmers were given foreign market access “and that there will be a significant transition period in any move towards a market-driven environment.”

Three years later, MPs were being told that a stand against any move

André Bellavance, the Bloc Québécois MP who moved the motion Nov. 22, 2005, said the target at the time was an impending World Trade Organization meeting in Hong Kong, which appeared to offer a chance of breakthrough and compromise.

Instead, the meeting in December 2005 led to WTO stalemate that has only deepened over the years. Governments are now moving their attention to regional trade negotiations.

“In that way, I think the motion is more important now than it was then with CETA and TPP coming,” he said.

“The government has its direction and industry will be watching.”

Former Canadian agriculture negotiator Mike Gifford said the parliamentary vote came, ironically, at a time when the dairy sector was signalling that some compromise was possible, although not on over-quota tariffs that give the industry stability to set production quota levels with

the knowledge of what percentage of the market is available to imports.

“When I talked to supply management leaders privately, at least some of them, even post-2005 they recognized that at the end of the day, this was not a sustainable position, and that Canada would have to make some concessions,” Gifford said.

He was Canada’s chief agricultural negotiator in Geneva for many years, including talks on the Uruguay Round that led to the last WTO deal in 1993.

“But they would also say, quite accurately, that the politics within the farm community in Canada is such that we daren’t say this in public before the end game because God knows what will happen in the negotiation,” Gifford said.

“We can’t say anything publicly until it is clear that a deal is coming together, that it is clear we are where we were in 1993 again.”

Although it would deviate from the

“toward a market-driven environment” for dairy and poultry was politically necessary.

Despite a day of Conservative speeches extolling the virtues of agricultural exports, they all voted for high tariff protection for some sectors.

Two months later came the Central Canadian breakthrough: 15 new mainly rural seats in Ontario, 10 in Quebec and the first Conservative government elected in almost two decades. _______

that I support supply management and there was no option other than to support the resolution.”

Despite opposition charges that the Liberals were waffling and trying to dilute supply management support, Mitchell said his vote for the motion was never in doubt.

“I do think it was an important expression of parliamentary opinion that, although not binding, governments have an obligation to listen to.”

In the lead-up to the Nov. 22 vote, UPA leadership arranged a meeting with then prime minister and Montreal MP Paul Martin to warn about the consequences of not supporting the motion.

Afterward, Canadian export lobbyists who attended the Hong Kong WTO meeting said they overheard Mitchell apologize to then agriculture negotiator Steve Verheul about the motion.

“I don’t remember that, but it wouldn’t surprise me that I said we have just added another complication to your job,” said Mitchell, now a municipal politician in the Peterborough, Ont., area.

F

OR THE GOVERNING Liberals, the political complication was that they had to live with the decision.

Andy Mitchell spent the day trying to convince opposition MPs that the motion would be more tenable if it called for negotiators to protect supply management but not to specify how it must be done.

“I would have been more comfortable with a motion that simply dealt with the end goal,” he said.

“But at the end of the day, I was going to show Canadian producers

2005 vote and cause a political uproar from the supply managed sector and opposition politicians, there is growing speculation that Canada could offer more access by increasing low-tariff imports brought in under tariff rate quotas. Proponents of the idea said that would be a concession without destabilizing the supply management system.

Liberal trade critic Wayne Easter, a self-described “fierce defender” of supply management who voted for the resolution but thought it was too restrictive, hints at that potential solution.

“The system cannot be negotiated away,” he said. “You can move on access, but you cannot move on tariffs and that’s what’s crucial to the system.”

Former trade negotiator Michael Hart does not under-estimate the power of the supply management lobby to dissuade government from approving any weakening of support for the system’s protections.

HEN THE POLITICAL smoke cleared after the vote, Quebec and supply management leaders cheered and returned to their farms convinced of political support.

Flanagan said the campaign for the Nov. 22 Commons vote was an important illustration of the political power of Canada’s dairy farmer lobby.

“These people are relentless,” he said.

Researcher suspects neonicotinoids affect insects, birds

BY JEFFREY CARTER FREELANCE WRITER

DRESDEN, Ont. — Honeybees are not the only creatures being affected by neonicotinoid seed treatments.

According to researchers in Saskatchewan and Quebec, the insecticides may be having a profound impact on other insect species.

There is even evidence their persistence in the environment is affecting birds.

Christy Morrissey, a biologist at the University of Saskatchewan, is evaluating the movement of neonicotinoids into prairie wetlands.

“There is considerable circumstantial evidence that these chemicals are

causing large scale reductions in insect abundance and at the same time we are observing serious declines in many species of birds in Canada, particularly aerial insectivores — swallows and swifts, for example — that are highly dependent on insects to raise their young,” Morrissey said.

Most of the wetlands that Morrissey sampled contained one or more neonicotinoids.

She said it’s an indication the chemicals are moving off agricultural seed and into water.

“We have also observed some reductions in insect abundance along with lower body weight in birds nesting at an intensive agriculture site

compared to more natural areas.”

Madeleine Chagnon, an environmental scientist from the Université du Québec a Montréal, said she is convinced neonicotinoids are having an impact beyond honeybees.

“The honeybee is known as a bioindicator of the environment. If honeybees die, other organisms die also, that’s for sure,” she said.

“How many studies will it take before the PMRA (Pest Management Regulatory Agency) acknowledges the danger?”

Chagnon said researchers at the university first made the connection between bee kills and neonicotinoids in Quebec in 2008. She feels it’s likely an annual phenomena, although the severity depends on environmental conditions.

Claude Boucher of the provincial agriculture ministry has developed a monitoring project, but Chagnon said beekeepers have been reluctant to report incidents.

“We have as much as in Ontario, but only a few cases are ‘official’ with the PMRA.” Chagnon suspects concerns with neonicotinoids do not stop with bee deaths. She led a study, which hasn’t been published yet, to look at the potential for chronic, sub-lethal impacts. It compared honeybees that had access to pollen and nectar from corn grown with treated seed to those that did not.

“We found greater mortality in the bees that collected corn pollen,” she said. “We think honeybees exposed to corn pollen have something going wrong with their neurotransmissions.”

Chagnon said products such as Poncho and Cruiser work by disrupting normal brain functions in insects.

Honeybees are highly social insects and relatively small effects can have major consequences for colony health.

She assessed the sub-lethal effect of the neonicotinoid clothianidin by analyzing bee heads, not for the chemical but for a biological marker showing its disruption of neural synapses.

“There are not many field studies that show the effect of neonicotinoids or other pesticides on bees,” she said.

“With sub-lethal effects, it’s very difficult to prove.”

Chagnon said the study was conducted in Quebec’s Eastern Townships, where corn production is concentrated. One challenge was finding locations for the control colonies far enough way from fields where seed treatments were used.

Worker honeybees routinely fly about one and a half kilometres from their hives and sometimes further.

ENVIRONMENT | COMPENSATION INITIATIVES

Environmental program unco-ordinated: study Ecological goods and services compensation | Interest in such programs found more at the provincial than federal level

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Canadian policies to compensate farmers for ecological goods and services are largely an unco-ordinated shambles, a new study suggests, despite growing interest in farm environmental practices.

The Greening of Canadian Agriculture, written by George Morris Centre researchers for the Ottawa-based Macdonald-Laurier Institute, recommended more study and increased use of pilot projects to

evaluate what will work best in Canada.

It also suggested there is more interest in the need for agricultural environmental programs at the provincial level than at the federal level.

The national Growing Forward policy framework agreed to by Ottawa and the provinces still places significant emphasis on farm support programs, “and there appears to be little room for expansion into environmental programs,” said the report.

It analyzed the main environmental programs of the European Union,

the United States and Australia and concluded they would not necessarily be a good fit for Canada.

The EU has a cross-compliance policy that ties a farmer’s eligibility for farm program support to environmental performance. Farmers also receive landscape maintenance compensation in a “single farm payment.”

The report noted that most Canadian farm support programs have unpredictable payments that create less of an incentive to support crosscompliance.

“The incentive to cross-comply will

be stronger the greater the level and certainty of the payment it is tied to,” said the report.

“If the benefit of the underlying farm program is fixed and large, then the effective cost of failing to crosscomply is tangible. Conversely, if the nature of payments from the underlying farm program is such that the payments are uncertain and may only be small in size, then the effective benefit of cross-complying may be perceived as small.”

The EU has a relatively predictable single farm payment, while Canada’s

attempt to make farm programs “predictable and bankable” has yet to produce significant results.

The emphasis in the U.S. and Australia is on payments for land conservation and withdrawing sensitive or marginal lands from production. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s 2013 budget includes $6.2 billion for conservation programs that affect 358 million acres.

The report suggested research to evaluate what pilot projects have worked best for Canadian conditions.

A DAY IN THE LIFE | DAIRY TRUCKING

A day on the milk run THROUGH RAIN, SLEET OR SNOW, THE DAIRY TRUCK MUST GO

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

The constellation Orion is bright in the southern sky as Keith Atwood pulls a tanker truck up to the dairy barn at Albion Ridge Hutterite Colony near Picture Butte, Alta.

At 5:30 a.m., he has one of the later starting shifts that today will collect milk from nine southern Alberta dairies.

Atwood has already prepared the first pages of myriad paperwork required to track milk amount, quality, location, collection and delivery.

There are no lights, no people and no cows in sight at Albion Ridge, though smells reveal the cows are standing somewhere nearby, chewing their cuds in the dark.

The colony has yet to come awake for the day. Atwood unwinds the milk collection hose, plugs it into an electrical outlet and prepares to start pumping from an 11,000-litre tank in the colony’s immaculate dairy anteroom.

Outside, the behemoth 39-foot trailer and new Peterbilt tractor are lit by moonlight, their motors rumbling smoothly.

Inside, Atwood tests the level in the tank, calculates the number of litres, agitates the contents and takes a milk sample. He carefully hoses off mud tracked into the room from the puddle-pocked yard.

He is methodical. With two and half years of hauling milk for D & B Leslie Trucking and another 18 years of long haul trucking with other companies, he’s comfortable driving the back roads and carrying milk from dairies to Alberta Milk customers.

He loves his job.

“I’ve spent too many years sleeping in a sleeper,” he says, indicating the bunk in his truck. “This way, I get to sleep in my own bed every night.”

Atwood is the swing driver for D & B’s three milk trucks in the Lethbridge area, sharing shifts with two other drivers. The firm has 12 trucks running in Alberta and is one of several milk truck firms operating in the south.

Truckers for firms contracted by Alberta Milk travel almost seven mil-

lion kilometres per year. The 56 milk tankers plying the province’s highways and byways collect and deliver 677.6 million litres of milk every year.

Mike Southwood, general manager for Alberta Milk, says the bulk haulers are crucial links in the supply chain.

“Producers don’t get (the milk) off their farm without those people,” he said.

“More importantly, because that’s their livelihood, is getting that milk from their bulk tank to the right processor.”

However, the drivers’ most important job isn’t driving at all. Instead, it’s the role they play in milk sampling and grading.

“We see them as bulk milk graders first and foremost and then milk truck haulers second.”

Back at the dairy farm, the pump emits a signature rumble that indicates the tank is dry. Atwood winds up the hose and electrical cord and stows the milk sample in a cooler. It will later be sent to the central milk testing lab in Edmonton, which will examine each sample for quality as well as butterfat and protein content.

Producers are paid based on the milk’s components, so proper sampling and sample integrity are crucial.

Atwood climbs back into the truck cab, but only after first removing his boots. The truck is new and the cleanliness expectations for anything to do with milk are high.

Atwood and his milk truck brethren are more than truck drivers with the requisite Class 1 licences. They also carry provincially regulated bulk milk grader licences, obtained after they pass a written test, barn test and on-the-job training.

The milk haulers are thus authorized to sample milk at each dairy and ensure it meets specifications for temperature, smell and visual cleanliness. They can reject milk if they find it wanting.

“If somebody screws up, somebody’s got to pay for that milk,” says Atwood matter-of-factly.

Milk from several dairies is combined in the tanker, which has only two compartments. If a milk sample tests positive for antibiotics or high

bacteria count, the owner of the dairy will have to pay for the entire portion of the load.

Five hundred litres of milk can be worth $4,000. This isn’t a business of small change.

Legal requirements Atwood guides the truck back onto the gravel road en route to the next dairy on his schedule. Milk must be picked up from each dairy, by law, every second day.

That’s why milk trucks run in all kinds of weather.

“We don’t figure out if we’re going to go. We figure out how we’re going to go,” says Atwood about winter driving.

He recalls blizzards in which his boss, Doug Leslie, has driven his pick-up truck ahead of the milk trucks in his fleet to guide them down nearly invisible, snow-covered roads.

Asked about this later, Leslie says he has a good network of farmers who will plow roads to ensure the trucks get through. Some of them aren’t even his dairy customers but instead operate feedlots in this area of Alberta known as feedlot alley.

Roads to farms are low priority for county snowplows, so those involved in milk transport must make their own way to keep the moo juice flowing.

“When conditions are really bad, you can plow everything and open everything up and within an hour it’s all closed in again,” says Leslie.

“Some of these back roads, it’s not uncommon to have six- or seven-foot drifts.”

On the bright side, Atwood says he never has to go through a weigh scale on his run and milk trucks are seldom, if ever, checked when Alberta Transportation sets up portable scales to check trucks. They also get a break on road bans because the milk has to be moved.

Atwood sips from a “go” mug as he shifts the gears that bring the Peterbilt up to speed.

“I haven’t drunk a glass of milk in 10 years,” he says in answer to a query.

“It’s something about the texture. I don’t like the way it feels in my mouth.”

He is, however, a big fan of cheese and yogurt.

At the next stop, Vanden Dool Farms, milking is already done for the morning, though its barely after 6. A blaring radio and the sound of whistling and wash water greet Atwood as he goes through the routine of collecting milk from another large, shiny tank.

This time he loads up the two-day production of 175 cows, which is more than 10,000 litres. A glance into the milking parlour shows freshly scrubbed apparatus. Again, there are

no cows to be seen.

Next stop, Favour Holsteins.

“This is one of the nicest farms I go to,” says Atwood. “Always nice and clean.”

A dog wearing a cone, obviously skittish from recent misfortune, eyes visitors warily outside the dairy.

Inside, Eric Vander Veen says a quick hello before continuing his chores.

The truck leaves the farm with another 8,753 litres. The push of the liquid can be felt as the truck slows to a halt at rural stop signs.

Atwood comments on the ubiquitous farm dog phenomenon. He says another driver carries dog treats in his pocket for the many farm dogs he encounters.

LEFT: Keith Atwood detaches the hose from the milk tank after loading two days worth of milk production onto the truck.

ABOVE: Post-milking cleanup is underway at Vanden Dool Farms when the milk truck arrives.

However, Atwood muses that the dogs are always disappointed when he shows up without treats.

“Oh well,” he shrugs.

It’s kittens we encounter at the Zmurchyk Dairy. They’re playing around the feet of Terry Cunningham, who is here to calibrate the dairy’s new milk tank.

Cunningham operates International Dairy Calibrations. He takes exacting measurements of the tank and creates a chart that correlates markings on the tank dipstick with the volume inside.

Milk tanks are like people, he explains. Over time, they get fatter in the middle and their volumes change.

It will take Cunningham about four hours to calibrate this tank. All dairy tanks must be calibrated every five years, he says.

Atwood loads 1,300 litres, the production of about 40 cows.

En route to the first milk drop-off of the day, at the Sunnyrose cheese plant in Diamond City, Alta., Atwood talks about the variety of dairy farms he sees.

He likens them to city garages seen from back alleys, ranging from tidy to haphazard.

“Over time, you see the ones that are more conscientious, just by the way they treat their farms,” he says. “The best

ones seem to be multi-generational.”

The cheese plant, operated by Quebec-based Agropur, refuses entry to a visitor. A reporter with a camera is not welcome despite explanations about a story focus on dairy trucking rather than cheese making.

Three milk truck drivers, who are standing outside, where they will wait several hours to unload in the plant’s single deliver y bay, are amused but unsurprised by the ban.

They tell tales of regulations on hair nets, beard nets, earrings and safety glasses that seem to change daily and are inconsistently applied.

Beneath their criticism lies frustration at the waiting times at this plant, which takes about a quarter million litres of milk daily since it underwent a major expansion several years ago.

Two trucks operated by L.J. Mullen sit in a row behind a D & B Leslie truck, while a fourth one unloads.

Each truck takes more than an hour to unload and clean its tank before moving onto other dairy pick-ups.

By late morning, things are buzzing at the Gerlen dairy. Someone is feeding cattle, someone is delivering dairy supplies and a friendly, fluffy dog supervises the whole thing.

With another 6,870 litres aboard, Atwood moves onto Woolywind Dairies, where employees for owner

Bernie Vander Wekken milk 57 cows.

It’s a tight little yard with puddles that show every sign of being a major challenge for a large truck to negotiate, especially when forecasted snowfall arrives.

Inside, Jared Timmerman is busy preparing a foot bath for the cows, which they’ll walk through to preserve foot health once they leave the milking parlour.

Atwood loads 3,397 litres. The milk hose gets muddy from sitting in a

45,000 litres OF MILK ARE COLLECTED IN AN 11-HOUR DAY puddle between truck and doorway.

He isn’t pleased. He wonders aloud about the absence of gravel.

Over at Marylander Holsteins, Tim Hummel is taking best advantage of the annual Take Your Kid to Work Day by getting several youths to hammer plywood back onto the walls of the milking parlour.

The cows started eating the batting insulation, Hummel says, so he ripped out the rest and got new sprayon insulation today. It’s just before a storm is expected and he is happy the

work will be done ahead of it.

While checking previous pick-up amounts at Marylander, Atwood spots a major difference in today’s milk total versus that of two days ago.

He asks Hummel about it, to ensure nothing is amiss.

It turns out to be a result of the recent change to daylight savings time. One hour can make a difference when it comes to milking cows. So another 4,578 litres go on the truck.

At the Peter Klok dairy, Atwood talks about the camaraderie shared by milk truck drivers.

“We’re kind of a fraternity,” he says.

“It’s different from just being a truck driver. We are held to a higher standard.”

Shabby clothes are frowned upon, as is unkempt or overly long hair.

Trucks and trailers are subject to random surprise inspections by provincial government regulators, including the interior cabs.

Most milk tr uck dr ivers have many years of experience. Atwood admits the job isn’t difficult, except when it is.

“Well, 345 days of the year, experience doesn’t matter. The other 20 days, with rain, snow, drifts and whatever, that’s where the experience comes in.”

Another 5,595 litres are collected and the truck heads to the last pickup of the day, at Jim Vandenburgh’s

operation, J & N Dairy.

A barn cat crouches under the milk tank, waiting for the gush of milk that escapes when the hose is detached.

Atwood wonders about a much more friendly cat that used to frequent the place.

“Maybe he got friendly with the wrong person,” he says, as he loads up 4,988 litres.

The cat gets its small portion, too.

Back at Sunnyrose for unloading, plant managers will still not yield entry to a visitor, who must wait outside while flakes of snow twirl on a chill wind.

Milk trucker Galen Bourgoin offers his truck cab as a warm refuge. He too likes his work and tells stories of snowstorms, grandchildren and fishing in his native Quebec.

Atwood and his truck eventually emerge from the unloading bay. He’s nearing the end of his shift now and is headed back to home base.

He fills out the final paperwork.

Tomorrow, he plans to start earlier because roads will be bad if the snowstorm forecast is true. A 5:30 start might not allow him to reach all farms on schedule.

He turns off the key in the Peterbilt and the engine rumbles to a halt.

It’s 11 hours and about 45,000 litres of milk later — another day on the milk run.

Ag programs shouldn’t be one-size-fits-all, says APAS

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Farm organizations feel they were largely left out of the discussion about Growing Forward 2, and Canadian Federation of Agriculture president Ron Bonnett said that must change.

He told the Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan annual meeting in December that consultation with farm groups took place 18 months before the principles of the agreement were established.

“But something happened along the way,” he said. “It became government to government. We never did get a chance to engage.”

Bonnett said the decision to spend $430 million less on business risk management programming is not something farmers would have recommended.

For example, they wanted increased contributions to AgriInvest rather than a reduction in matched contributions. Cuts to AgriStability could have serious ramifications, he said.

“What is the backstop if things go wrong?”

Bonnett said governments would have asked organizations for help in meeting their budget restrictions if they were serious about properly consulting farmers, rather than imposing cuts.

“We’ve got to get back to the point where people recognize this is a partnership,” he said.

APAS vice-president Arlynn Kurtz asked when agricultural policy will move away from one-size-fits-all programs, which don’t work across the country.

He said Growing Forward 3 should provide the provinces with certain allotments and allow them to decide how to use the money. Saskatchewan could then develop a stronger, comprehensive crop insurance program, he added.

“We could throw all these other programs in the bush,” he told the meeting.

Bonnett said that would be a return to the former companion programs of previous agricultural policy frameworks and agreed it’s time to start discussing the next agreement.

He said governments must develop a system to monitor the impacts of the recent changes to AgriInvest and AgriStability.

Western Grains Research Foundation | New chair wants to bring industry together to ‘think western Canadian,

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The pulse industry wouldn’t be where it is today without the contributions of the first full-time employee of Saskatchewan Pulse Growers, says a former chair of the organization.

That is a sentiment shared by many in the industry, who credit former SPG executive director Garth Patterson for playing a key role in important initiatives such as designing and implementing an innovative crop breeding arrangement with the University of Saskatchewan’s Crop Development Centre, paving the way for Clearfield lentils and establishing Pulse Canada.

“Garth was behind all of those initiatives, and I think he was very effective,” said Jim Moen, former SPG chair and current director of the organization.

“Garth’s contribution was substantial and very meaningful.”

Patterson was born in Melfort, Sask., in 1958 and lived in Melfort, Naicam, Sask., Prince Albert, Sask., and Saskatoon, where he got his master’s degree in agriculture at the University of Saskatchewan.

He wasn’t a farm boy, but he spent his summers working on his uncle’s farm in Milestone, Sask.

I’m not threatened by change. I like to look for the opportunity in change. In fact, I feel a bit stale if there isn’t opportunity and growth and change.

GARTH PATTERSON NEW WESTERN GRAINS RESEARCH FOUNDATION CHAIR

“That is where I got my love of agriculture,” he said.

Patterson’s career included stints as a research agronomist at Agdevco and Cyanamid and a regional soil conservationist at the Saskatchewan Soil Conservation Association before he started at SPG in 1995.

“I was their first formal full-time official employee. I did it all initially, and then we grew from there,” he said.

By the time Patterson left the organization in 2011, SPG had 14 employees and an annual budget of $13 million, up from $500,000 when he started.

Patterson refuses to take credit for any of SPG’s achievements, insisting it was a team effort involving staff, researchers, private industry and visionary board members.

However, a former co-worker said Patterson was the grease that made everything run smoothly and provided the sustained energy and enthusiasm that drove projects to completion.

“It’s his ability to listen. Garth listens,” said Kofi Agblor, managing director of the U of S’s Crop Development Centre and former research director at SPG. “If he hears an idea and he likes it, he’ll run off with it and he will pursue it. He will be relentless.”

One of those ideas was an innovative long-term breeding agreement with the CDC, a five-year $6.2 million deal signed in 2006.

Agblor said the proposal came from pea breeders Bert Vandenberg and Pierre Hucl. Patterson credited former SPG chair Garry Meier for championing the idea.

However, Agblor said Patterson was instrumental in creating and implementing an agreement that has resulted in Saskatchewan producers adopting more than 80 new royaltyfree pulse crop varieties.

He credits Patterson with forging a great working relationship between SPG and CDC. The same approach was used with SPG employees.

“Probably his greatest asset is understanding that what he knows is limited and letting those who know

what they know do what they do,” said Agblor.

Patterson acknowledged the importance of building the relationship with the CDC. “Paper is only good if you have good relationships. There was hardly a week go by when there wasn’t some kind of interaction between staff and CDC.” Agblor said Patterson defended the agreement against critics who thought it squeezed private investment out of the pulse industry, and he was “unflinching” in pursuing renewal of the agreement. In 2010, the two parties signed another fiveyear deal worth $9.2 million.

Patterson also played a key role in a partnership with CDC and BASF that led to the introduction of the world’s first herbicide tolerant lentil varieties.

It was a complex agreement that resulted in a unique royalty-free Clearfield lentil with no technology fee.

“It took seven years for that (negotiation) to get to the point that it came out commercial,” said Patterson.

CDC Maxim, the first Clearfield variety released in 2006, now makes up 50 percent of red lentil acres.

Twelve Clearfield varieties have been released, with at least one option in each lentil class.

hallenges to think collaborative’ Among highlights Patterson is proud of his role in establishing Pulse Canada in 1997. It was an initiative led by former SPG chair Lyle Minogue, but Patterson provided support and drafted the agreements that led to the formation of the national organization.

He also highlights SPG’s communication program as an accomplishment.

“It has generally been recognized as one of the stronger producer communication programs in Western Canada,” said Patterson.

The program included international market and consumer communication, but the real focus was getting information to farmers and receiving their feedback.

Under Patterson’s leadership, SPG launched its quarterly PulsePoint magazine and held up to 20 winter meetings every year, including Pulse Days in Saskatoon. “(It was) staying in touch with the grassroots, that were really the shareholders that are paying the checkoff,” he said.

Moen said Patterson did a lot to build the pulse industry into what it is today, occupying five million acres of prairie soil annually.

“There has been just tremendous growth during the period that Garth

growth and change.”

Patterson was becoming restless at SPG when he was headhunted by the Western Grains Research Foundation. He decided the time was right to take on a new challenge as executive director of the foundation.

He liked the idea of “stepping into the big crop.” Wheat is planted on more acres than any crop in the world and Patterson wants to take it to the next level.

He is excited about expanding the scope of his work to all of Western Canada, working with a $90 million endowment fund and devising a new role for the foundation in the changing landscape for wheat and barley.

“There is a real opportunity for the Western Grains Research Foundation to bring people together, to think western Canadian, to think collaborative,” said Patterson.

The WGRF will stop directly receiving wheat and barley check-off funds within the next five years.

Patterson hopes the foundation can convince the newly forming provincial wheat and barley commissions and the councils that they may decide to create to work with the foundation.

“We want to make WGRF almost the forum where producer organizations can come together to talk about and direct research on a western Canadian basis. I think that’s really what we can offer,” he said.

“We see ourselves as being an organization that could execute and implement the directions set by the councils.”

BOURGAULT EARLY ORDER PROGRAM IS NOW ON!

Nine Saskatchewan irrigation districts might inherit provincial irrigation works.

Agriculture minister Lyle Stewart sent a letter to each district Nov. 20 suggesting they begin talking about what to do with pumping stations, canals, pipelines and other equipment.

“We don’t necessarily want cash money for them, but we would like to get out of operating them through government employees,” he said in an interview.

Stewart said the districts are already paying the operating costs but can probably take over the actual operation and be more efficient.

“We think our role in irrigation at this stage of the game is in expansion, and supplying the water and some major works that are partly irrigation and partly domestic water and commercial water,” he said.

The province would retain the M1 canal, which is the major supply canal from Lake Diefenbaker.

Stewart said the works in question are in good condition for the most part.

“There is one pipe facility that is suffering some premature failure and we’re making it clear to that irrigation district that we’ll certainly be around to help them with that because it’s just not living up to the life expectancy that everyone had hoped for it,” he said.

There is no firm timeline in place for the transfers.

DIFFERENT NAME, SAME RESULTS.

Irrigation to benefit | Project intended to improve water quality for Regina and Moose Jaw, but irrigation is also likely to expand as a result MOOSE JAW, Sask. — A proposed $1 billion water supply project from Lake Diefenbaker to Buffalo Pound Lake would generate far returns far greater than the investment, says a study delivered to the Saskatchewan government last month.

Consultant Graham Parsons said government could expect economic returns of 20 times the cost of a canal for at least 50 years, although canals last much longer than that.

“The fiscal returns to government are well above any investment a government might make in this project, well above,” he told the Saskatchewan Irrigation Projects Association conference in early December.

Agriculture minister Lyle Stewart said the report showed the project is feasible, but it would be up to cabinet to decide if and when to proceed.

“There’s lots to consider,” he said in an interview.

“It’s a huge project and a very expensive one as well, but it gives water security to the cities of Regina and Moose Jaw and the industrial corridor, and with lots of opportunities for expansion.”

Parsons suggested government might want to decide sooner rather than later.

“The clock is ticking and it is necessary to take decisions on water supply in this part of the world sooner rather than later,” he said in an interview.

This is not the first study to suggest the project is feasible and necessary.

The Upper Qu’Appelle Water Supply Project has been discussed for years as a way to improve water supply and quality for the two major cities south of Lake Diefenbaker.

The existing 30 kilometre manmade canal and 70 km of natural channel that moves water from one lake to the other are not in good shape.

The new conveyance would be larger and use pumping stations to move the water more efficiently through man-made canals.

It would supply the increasing needs of nearby potash mines, fertilizer plants and other industrial users, and at some point a small hydroelectric generating station could be added to capture energy from water dropping into Buffalo Pound.

It could also result in agricultural irrigation of up to 135,000 acres, according to some studies. Parsons used a minimum 110,000 acres to examine the project’s economic benefits. He said the plan when Lake Diefenbaker and the Gardiner Dam were first built was for the reservoir to be a “strong water heart” that would distribute water in all directions.

Distribution south of the lake was never fully developed.

Plans were drawn up in the 1980s that included an upland canal, but again the work wasn’t done. Various

projects have been undertaken over the years to address specific concerns, such as a charcoal filtration plant.

“We’ve taken a lot of stop gap measures through the years to try to address water quality or to try and address water supply,” Parsons said.

“A canal represents a part of a solution that wouldn’t just last five years or 10 years. It’s something that’s going to last for, maybe, ever.”

After all, he said, Roman canals have lasted thousands of years and the works in southern Alberta are 100 years old.

Maintenance and rehabilitation will always be required, he added, but the large capital cost is spent only once.

“While $1 billion for a conveyance seems expensive today, I’m willing to bet that 40 years on it’ll probably be $5 billion.”

Proceeding soon fits with the province’s plan to increase agricultural exports and production by 2020.

Premier Brad Wall said last fall that Saskatchewan intends to increase crop production by 10 million tonnes, value-added activity overall and agricultural exports to $15 billion.

Expanding irrigation infrastructure is one way to achieve these targets, he said.

The establishment of the Global In s t i t u t e f o r Fo o d S e c u r i t y i n Saskatoon also indicates the province will put money where its mouth is as it works to capitalize on its agricultural advantage.

PotashCorp, the province’s major partner in the project, represents an industry that also needs a secure water supply.

“I really do think that the conveyance is one of the items that secures not only a water supply but really starts to consolidate Saskatchewan’s new role in the world of fertilizers and food,” Parsons said.

The world population is rising, climate is warming and food production will change as a result.

Parsons said irrigation secures crop supply and value-added prospects for feedlots, packing plants, greenhouses and other businesses.

“The benefits are very real and we see those benefits in a practical sense for anybody who has ever driven from Medicine Hat down to Lethbridge, because that country was the same country that Palliser said nobody should live in,” he said.

“It has by far the worst drought record of anywhere on the Prairies and yet it’s one of the richest agricultural areas in the Prairies these days in terms of both the value to farmers and in terms of the related economic activity that has been built around that secure crop supply, and it’s all based on irrigation.”

EQUIPMENT | FERTILIZER

Kit makes dry fertilizer work in corn planter Aulari aftermarket attachment | It’s a fit for corn growers looking to use granular fertilizer to improve yields and stay off the juice

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

Corn growers who want to put granular fertilizer through their planters have been out of luck for two decades.

Planter manufacturers decided in the early 1990s that granular fertilizer was going out of style and that the sector was switching to liquid fertilizer. As a result, they discontinued

their granular options.

As one dealership sales manager said recently: “The companies just don’t listen to us dealers. We know what our customers want. They don’t.”

Twenty years later, there are still corn growing regions where liquid fertilizer is a long and expensive truck ride from plant to farmgate, and many growers still want granular.

There are several reasons for this:

• Typically more acres between fills compared to liquid.

• Dry generally has a lower price.

• Liquid means two complete sets of fertilizer equipment.

“Our air seeders have always been granular,” says Scott Peters of WestGrow Seeds in Boissevain, Man. “Why would a farmer want to add a complete separate system to handle two kinds of fertilizer? The liquid storage and handling facility repre-

sents a major investment, plus you pay more for liquid from that point forward.”

Granular versus liquid will become more of an issue as corn acres expand west and north on the Prairies.

North Dakota grows a lot of corn, but it is not well served with liquid fertilizer.

“I saw a 24-row Case planter in North Dakota that did not have liquid,” Peter said. “It was pulling an Amity or Concord air cart behind the planter.”

Many corn growers in the state run their planters with all kinds of air carts for granular, according to Amity, which is one of the main suppliers of manifolds for this modification.

It’s simply a matter of finding the right manifold.

“Our plan is to move from two 16-row planters to a single 24-row planter with granular,” said Peters.

“If the market doesn’t have a convenient way for me to use granular with my planter, then it should be easy to do in the shop.”

Before firing up the welder, Peters said he wants to investigate the Aulari Precision Placement system, which is engineered specifically as a granular retrofit for any brand corn planter.

“I had never heard of Aulari until last year when I was on a Syngenta farm tour in Quebec,” he said.

“This one farmer had an Aulari on his planter. I got a good look at it and decided that’s what I need when I get the 24-row planter.”

Aulari Industries specializes in aftermarket equipment for dry fertilizer on big corn planters. It’s a niche market with only one North Ameri-

can competitor.

The two main products from Aulari are the air tank and the Precision Placement Fertilizer Coulter.

“The big manufacturers don’t want to bother with dry fertilizer on their corn planters anymore,” said Aulari president Patrick Audette.

His company now has a granular system for any brand of corn planter from 12 to 24 rows on any row spacing.

“Growers tell their dealer they want a granular kit on their next planter, and the dealer says no he can’t sell it because he doesn’t have it,” Audette said. “Well, now the dealer can sell the farmer a granular kit we build that’s designed to fit perfectly on his planter.”

He said three major factors are driving the return to granular fertilizer in the corn business: environmental regulations, ground speed and fertilizer prices.

“In the past, fertilizer was broadcast all the time. But now with the regulations coming, we will have to deep-place all fertilizer,” he said.

“With our coulter we can put plenty of fertilizer close to the seed without hurting it. We call it two by two because the fertilizer is two inches to the side and two inches below the seed.

“Most guys put down 350 to 400 pounds product per acre in one pass, or maybe split it into two or three passes. But we have a couple guys who have put down 600 lb. of product in one pass with our system.”

Audette said producers seem to want faster ground speed every spring, and planter designers have no choice but to cater to demands.

“We tell the guys to slow down, but they say, ‘hey, this is 2012 and we have GPS so we can go fast.’ So we design all our equipment to run faster than my father ever let me run with the planter at home.”

He said customers with the 200 bushel tow-between tank and the small 110 bu. frame mount tank plant 260 acres a day in the daylight.

That’s 25 percent faster than before they bought the Aulari equipment.

Audette said some of his customers with GPS regularly side-dress corn at 10 m.p.h. without damaging the roots. Those speeds require a lot of down pressure just to keep the openers in the ground. Speed also

requires a well-designed coulter to accurately place the fertilizer.

The disc design was the big breakthrough in Aulari’s progress. The first job of the disc each year is precise two by two fertilizer placement while seeding. The second job each summer is side dressing.

With four years on the market, Audette feels the disc design lives up to everyone’s expectations. The gauge wheel had been the glitch in the early stages.

“For us, once we had the gauge wheel right, the accuracy and speed and fertilizer volume were easy,” he said. “We were offering it before through Great Plains. For a few years, we kept asking them to make some changes to improve it. They said, ‘no, why don’t you go and build another disc.’ So that’s what we did. And now we have a better fertilizer opener.”

Audette said the air system can also do double duty because the cart can quickly be switched between a corn planter and a small grains air drill.

“Guys will seed wheat in the morning with a 30-foot drill and our cart, and then switch it over to their planter for corn or soybeans in the afternoon,” he said.

“When it’s time to side dress, the cart is used for everything from wheat to peas to corn. In comparison, I think our air system is closer to Seed Master or Valmar than anything else. It’s built strong and heavy for no-till jobs, but guys say it works well in conventional tillage, too.”

Peters said he has three options once he gets the new planter: • He can modify an existing air cart to feed a 24-row planter.

• He can buy the Aulari because it’s the only dry kit he’s found with an optional air tank on the planter frame.

• He sourced out only one other dry kit for planters, but the Montag does not have a frame mounted tank. The Montag was featured in the Nov. 1 Western Producer.

The Aulari disc has five depth settings and three settings for down pressure. All settings are manually controlled on the coulter unit.

Discs can be either 18 or 20 inches.

The discs run at a seven degree angle.

Discs can be quickly replaced by removing the depth pin.

The unit is made of quenched steel.

It has tapered, greasable bearings running in a carbon steel hub. Nearly all components are identical left to right. An Aulari granular fertilizer kit to fit any brand of corn planter will cost $160,000 and $170,000.

SOIL | TILE DRAINAGE

Slope sensor’s quick response to pitch speeds tile drainage

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

HARWOOD, N.D. — Tile draining a quarter section, only to find it doesn’t work as expected, is a heartbreaking and budget busting experience.

A ballpark figure for tile drain on the Prairies is $400 to $600 per acre. With the pipe buried one to two metres below the surface, digging and correcting thousands of metres of mislaid pipe is an expensive and daunting task.

“Do it right the first time,” is the main advice experienced custom tilers have for producers thinking about subsurface drainage.

Tile installation is all about economics and time. The fall tillage window is a small one. When Mother Nature slams the window shut, it means the tile plow is going to sit idle for the next nine months.

Running the tile plow faster allows custom operators and farmers to tile more acres and make better use of the investment, said Perry Rust of Rust Sales Inc. at Harwood, North Dakota.

That’s why his company set out to develop better tile plow hardware to work with AGPS Pipe FM and Pipe Pro software.

The DAC 7000, which was introduced in 2010, is a multi-control module that manages functions of a tile plow.

The DAC 2X Slope Sensor, introduced this year, controls the longslope pitch of the in-ground working tool as well as compensating for cross-slope or lateral roll of the plow.

“Last year, I was putting down tile with the DAC 7000 but without a slope sensor. We could run one to 1.5 m.p.h.,” said Rust.

“This year, we have the 2X Slope Sensor and we’re putting down tile at 2.5 to three m.p.h. I have run four m.p.h., but the stringer crew has trouble keeping up at three m.p.h. With the control module and the slope sensor, we’ve increased ground speed by 1.5 m.p.h. without sacrificing accuracy.

That’s big in this business.”

Rust said the two sets of hardware working in conjunction with one another allow him to nearly double his efficiency and the number of acres he can tile in a year. That’s good news for custom operators and farmers who always want the widest possible fall window.

“Yesterday, (Oct. 24) we put down 17.5 miles of tile all in daylight hours.

The profile view on the monitor was either perfect or 1/100th of a foot off in 100 feet.”

Rust said he can’t expect that kind of high performance on a regular basis, but it does show how efficient a tile plow can be with the right control systems. The next step in the quest for efficiency is to design a better stringer trailer so crews can keep up with the plows.

The DAC 7000 is a multi-control module running the hydraulic valves that position the plow in the soil. It has digital, analog and CAN compatibility, thus the DAC designation.

Rust said he was forced to develop his own control systems because the third party controllers he had been using didn’t do the job he expected.

The DAC 7000 can interface directly

with a tractor’s selective control valve or plug directly into its existing external valves. It interfaces with John Deere, Challenger and Case-New Holland, controls all plow functions and provides roll information to compensate for side hills.

“Pitch is important on a tile plow,” Rust said. “It’s basically the same as getting the sweep pitch right on a cultivator. If blade set is wrong, your results are wrong.”

Rust Sales is a dealer for the Waynes Plow. Like most modern tile plows, it has double links to determine pitch.

“But it’s a little hard to control sometimes with all those links. RTK does a good job of controlling elevation or depth, but it’s far too slow to control pitch,” he said.

“A plow in the soil is a lot like an airplane in the sky. You must always have precise control of the pitch. No time delays. The plow in the soil behaves like the elevator on an airplane. Until now, ground speed with a tile plow has been limited to 1.5 m.p.h. because RTK is too slow to manage pitch.”

He said low ground speed with an expensive tractor and tile plow means the machine owner is not getting the best return on investment.

A pitch sensor that reacts faster allows the rig to run faster, and the economics of owning a tile plow take a turn for the better.

“RTK reacts to elevation change about 10 times per second. That’s far too slow for any kind of improvement in laying pipe,” he said.

“Our 2X Slope Sensor takes readings and gives instructions about 100 times per second. Now, finally, we’re quick enough to manage pitch and roll at a higher ground speed.

Here’s a common situation. You’re laying tile and suddenly you hit a hole or a soft spot. It happens far too fast for a human to react or for RTK to react.”

Rust said a farmer will have to come back later with a backhoe to re-install the pipe if the reaction isn’t quick enough at the hydraulic valves. It’s an expensive glitch caused by slow software.

He said the DAC 2X Slope Sensor reacts fast enough to catch these spots and make the adjustments on time, even at four m.p.h.

There’s nothing revolutionary about the 2X Slope Sensor. Most earth altering machines and auto steer systems have some sort of dynamic measuring unit (DMU) or slope sensor to give them better accuracy.

For example, land levelers are now capable of putting lateral instructions together with elevation instructions. They can’t achieve that without a DMU or slope sensor.

“Think about this. If you’re running a land leveler with a slope sensor, you eliminate the need for two GPS systems. The slope sensor does all that math for you.”

The DAC 2X Slope Sensor has other hidden tricks. When used on a tile plow mounted on a rubber wheel tractor, it compensates for tire compression resulting from the down pressure when the plow pulls into the earth.

There’s no track compression on rubber track tractors, but the DAC 2X does the same kind of calculation to compensate for soil compression when the plow is engaged.

“Compaction from the tractor might only be a couple tenths of an inch, but we program it into our software. We deal in tenths of an inch and hundredths of an inch in this business.”

Rust said accounting for those small measurements may seem like overkill to many people, but think about what happens to a tile plow working in regions with genuine elevation changes.

“Imagine a tile plow laying pipe up a slight rise. At the top, the GPS tilts slightly and gives your controller incorrect data, or a side slope sends wrong data. Bad information messes up your whole drainage system.

“We have algorithms in the DAC 2X that account for those situations. We keep the plow at the correct pitch through up-down and side-to-side changes. That’s why we named it 2X. It deals with foreaft pitch as well as side slope roll factors.”

The DAC 7000 kit has a list price of $1,485, while the DAC 2X Slope Sensor kit lists at $2,250.

FORAGE | SURVEY

Producers find forage program useful: survey

Ideally two-thirds of the cow herd will calve in the first 21 days of the season so cows can be bred in their next cycle, says a veterinarian at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine. | FILE PHOTO CALVING | TIMING

Calving timing critical: vet First 21 days optimal | Front-loading breeding season yields heavier cows, healthier calves STORIES BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

SWIFT CURRENT, Sask. — Frontloading the breeding season should result in heavier calves and healthier cows, says Dr. John Campbell of the Western College of Veterinary Medicine.

He told producers at the recent Foraging into the Future conference that they should target a 95 percent overall pregnancy rate with 65 percent of the females bred during their first cycle.

“Ideally, we’d like almost twothirds of our herd to calve in the first 21 days of calving season so that they get the maximum amount of time after calving to recover and start cycling again,” Campbell said.

The calves will also earn more money. For example, a weight gain of 2.5 pounds per day at $1.50 per lb. for 21 days results in $78.75 addi-

tional revenue for each calf.

As a result, producers can lose $38,000 in a 300-cow herd with an average conception rate of 87 percent if only 21 percent of the cows conceive in the first 21-day cycle.

“We whine about prices, but we don’t worry about this?” he said.

Campbell said producers often blame the bull when a cow is open, but it’s more likely that the cow didn’t cycle.

It takes 50 to 60 days for a cow to cycle after having a calf.

“Cows that are in poor or thin body condition can take anywhere from 80 to 120 days to come back into estrus, which puts them behind the eight ball when it comes to the next breeding period,” he said.

Replacement heifers also take 80 to 120 days to come into estrus after their first calves, he said.

“We really need them calving preferably before the cows or at the very

least in the first 21 days of the calving period so they have a fighting chance to become pregnant the next year.”

Bulls do have a role to play in determining which cows might cycle earlier.

“We know that (scrotal circumference) is actually related to fertility in the bull’s daughters and so those bulls with larger testes, those daughters tend to be more fertile and reach puberty earlier, which sort of links all those traits of getting cows cycling earlier,” he said.

Cows usually calve at the same time each year, which means producers should make sure they don’t extend the interval between calving and breeding.

Campbell said body condition score is a critical component of successful conception. Females should be at least 2.5 on the five-point scale at the beginning of the breeding season if they are to have a chance at

successful conception.

Campbell said that even with a perfect cow and a perfect bull, Mother Nature dictates that successful conception happens only 60 to 70 percent of the time, and that’s better than some other species.

Good body condition can only help, he added.

A study conducted in the 1990s when trichomoniasis was discovered in bulls in a Saskatchewan community pasture found that body condition score had a strong impact on conception, even in the presence of the disease, which causes abortions and infertility.

“We were doing BCS and weighing cows coming in and exiting the pasture and we could show that those cows that either gained more weight on pasture or cows that were in good condition coming into pasture were about twice as likely to get pregnant,” Campbell said.

SWIFT CURRENT, Sask. — Producers who planted native grass under a federal incentive program several years ago would do so again, according to a survey assessing the former Greencover Canada Land Conversion program.

Craig Gatzke, resource technician at Agriculture Canada’s Semiarid Prairie Agricultural Research Centre in Swift Current, Sask., said the small survey examined why producers seeded native species and how they used them.

He said he was surprised to learn that 58 percent would plant it again, even though seed costs are higher.

The nation-wide program ran from 2003 to 2008 and offered financial incentives to seed either tame or native forage on environmentally sensitive land. Producers agreed to establish and maintain perennial cover for at least 10 years.

The program paid $75 per acre to seed native forage, plus a one-time $25 per acre payment once an inspection determined the stand was established.

The incentive for tame forage was $20 per acre, as well as the $25 per acre establishment payment.

Far more landowners used the program to seed tame forage, but Gatzke said this was the first program to promote native grass as a viable alternative by offering a higher financial incentive.

The survey focused on Saskatchewan’s brown soil zone, in which 28 producers undertook 76 projects.

Nineteen producers were surveyed, representing 58 projects and a total of 6,970 acres.

Most of the farms were mixed or beef operations, and the median operation size was 6,773 acres.

The vast majority of those surveyed said they chose to seed native forage to extend or improve grazing opportunities. Fifty-eight percent said they wanted to improve marginal land.

“When asked, ‘would you have seeded native grass without the program,’ 68 percent said no,” he told the Foraging into the Future conference.

FORAGE FACTS Saskatchewan farmers took advantage of the Greencover Canada Land Conversion program offered between 2003 and 2008 to seed more than 300,000 acres to grass.

Tame forage • Canada had 5,515 projects totaling 512,920 acres • Saskatchewan accounted for 2,855 of the projects and 290,564 acres.

Native forage • Canada had 261 projects totalling 27,698 acres • Saskatchewan accounted for 166 projects for 17,624 acres.

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

The Canadian Limousin Association is taking a long view of its future as it attempts to revive a breed that was imported more than 40 years ago for its carcass quality.

The breed has been overshadowed in some respects by the success of the Angus beef marketing campaign, which the association is trying to counter by sharing information and renewing interest in cattle capable of yielding high percentages of lean meat.

“The time is right and I think we see a lot of signals in Canada in beef production where the old ways are not going to lead us into the future,” association president Bill Campbell said Dec. 10 following a focus group.

“New things need to happen with co-operation. We are seeing concerns with consumption. We are seeing concerns with health issues, with food safety. It is in everybody’s interest if we can address everything and have everybody profitable in the chain so the supplier supplies a safe, reliable product.”

Two focus groups in Ontario and Alberta drew members from the purebred, cow-calf, feedlot and processing sectors, who learned they are not that far apart in how they want to see the beef industry proceed.

“It’s time in the industry that we share information,” Campbell said.

Seed stock producers supply bulls to the commercial industry, but they need to know what those customers want and where improvements can be made for the benefit of the beef industry.

We have as much to offer or more than any other beef breed to the production of beef. We can add a lean, healthy desirable product in a balanced approach.

BILL CAMPBELL CANADIAN LIMOUSIN ASSOCIATION

“We are a component of the beef industry,” he said.

“We have as much to offer or more than any other beef breed to the production of beef. We can add a lean, healthy desirable product in a balanced approach.”

Limousin cattle can yield 63 to 67 percent, and Campbell said infusing Limousin genetics into the national beef herd could benefit the entire industry.

“We are seeing alarming trends where yields of less than 59.9 percent are increasing,” he said.

Campbell has 130 purebred cows on his mixed farm near Minto, Man., and plans to infuse fullblood genetics into the herd to return to the basics of what Limousin was when it first came from France more than 40 years ago. He was sold on the breed when his family fed them and the Limousin cattle outperformed the rest at the feedlot.

He now backgrounds them to 900 pounds and then sends them to a client who feeds for Norwich Packers in Ontario.

The company actively looks for this type of cattle because the client base is looking for lean meat that is processed to different standards.

“Ontario is a better place to feed

Limousin type cattle for a premium,” he said.

Participants in the Calgary focus meeting discussed the trend toward black cattle but agreed the time is coming when beef buyers will go beyond colour and emphasize red meat quality and yield.

The meeting was part of a national strategy to rebuild the breed.

“If we could capitalize on the next buzz, we could get the target for demand for a leaner beef and its nutritional value,” said association manager Anne Brunet- Burgess.

“We are not going to have a branded beef program as such because we can’t. The resources aren’t there, but if we could have some recognition for a different type of meat, that would be good.”

The association also wants to find the Limousin influenced calves and determine how they perform from birth to plate.

“We all know there are Limousin calves out there, but no one knows they are Limos,” said Campbell.

The breed is participating in the bovine genome bull project and sees genomics as the future way to select for certain performance traits.

Producers are also encouraged to submit more performance and carcass information through the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association’s Beef Information System to build a database.

They are asked to submit their Canadian cattle identification numbers to the Limousin association for a birth to plate database.

Producers could ultimately see how they compare with other producers and how the cattle perform at various stages of their life. Information would remain confidential.

HOLSTEINS | WORLD CLASS MILKER

Gillette farm wins attention, awards International recognition | Goal to build genetically elite herd appears to be successful

BY CANDICE VETTER FREELANCE WRITER

EMBRUN, Ont. — Gillette Emperor Smurf is not only the oldest cow on La Ferme Gillette but also the best milker — and not just on her Ontario farm.

Smurf, a purebred Holstein, set the world record for milk production in April 2012 of more than 478,000 pounds. She was 15 years old and the oldest cow on the farm near Embrun.

Smurf was already the Canadian lifetime champion, and in April the Guinness Book of World Records recognized Smurf’s production record, which broke the record set by Michigan cow Tacoma Mark My Word in 2006.

Longevity is one of the factors in her lifetime milk production record, which owner Eric Patenaude credits to genetics. Her dam, Gillette Lindy Murphy, and other ancestors were bred to be longlived. Her sire was American bull Rocky-VU Emperor, also known for passing on longevity.

Smurf benefits from naturally robust good health and good husbandry. She shakes her head if someone tries to pet her, but enjoys being washed three times a week and is brushed daily.

She has never had a foot or udder infection, has her own large box stall in a well-ventilated barn and is provided with ample straw on top of peat moss. She eats a mixed ration and her owners describe her as a “no-trouble cow,” not picky about food and not hard to look after.

La Ferme Gillette is owned and operated by Gilles, Lorette, Mathieu, Vincent, Marc, Louis and Eric Patenaude. Five generations of Patenaudes have farmed there since 1878, but in 1960 Gilles, also a dentist, and

Lorette decided to go into Holsteins and concentrate on building a genetically elite herd.

They renamed the farm by combining their first names and now have one of the world’s top herds. Last year, however, was an exceptional year for them.

Smurf wasn’t the only Gillette cow to make the news. Gillette Blitz 2nd Wind was named Holstein Canada’s Cow of the Year, the Bullvine’s Dam of the Year and then the 2012 Holstein International Global Cow of the Year.

She is a high index cow and has six class extra sons, as well as chart-topping daughters such as 2nd Sleep, the top producer in 2010, and granddaughter 2nd Snooze, who debuted in 2011 at number two.

2nd Wind’s dam’s sister was the dam of the famous bull Braedale Goldwyn, who has thrown superior calves, including Eastside Lewisdale Gold Missy, who was sold by an Alberta farm for $1.2 million in 2009.

2nd Wind has responded well to in vitro fertilization, making the most of her genetics.

2nd Wind was the Patenaudes’ second cow to win Holstein Canada Cow of the Year. In 2000, their “miracle cow,” Gillette Blackstar Christianne, won that honour. She acquired her nickname after surviving a devastating 1994 fire that destroyed two barns and killed 200 cattle. The calf she carried during the fire, Triumphant, tied as Canada’s number one type bull in May 2000.

Ho w e v e r, 2 n d Wi n d’s g l o b a l achievement this year was a first for the Patenaudes.

The farm also had its first sale in several years this past fall, with buyers or their agents bidding from all over the world. It was broadcast live on the Holstein World Productions website.

BELOW: Gillette Emperor Smurf was recognized as the world record holder for lifetime milk production.

Smurf is 16 years old and classified EX 91. | CANDICE VETTER PHOTOS “It was a great day,” said Eric Patenaude. “It was the kind of sale where many lots were affordable so our friends and neighbours could buy calves, too.”

The Patenaudes and their 18 staff milk 500 cows at their 1,100-head operation three times daily. Most of their cows are classified very good or excellent. Smurf was classified VG 88 until her most recent lactation, which brought her up to EX 91, at an age when most cows are long gone.

The family is fluently bilingual in French and English, which they’ve found to be a business advantage.

“I wish I spoke Japanese too because we have a big market there,” Patenaude said.

RESEARCH | BEEF INDUSTRY

Study of antimicrobial resistance among beef council projects

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

The environmental impact of beef production and improving animal welfare are among the new research projects to receive approval from the Beef Cattle Research Council.

Previous research projects have focused on improving cattle production and efficiency, but the council is now taking on broader studies that benefit producers and the general public.

The council is funded through a national $1 per head levy that the provinces collect on the sale of cattle, and it has been able to boost its available funds by working with the federal government.

The result is an annual $11.25 million available for research into beef quality, food safety, forage and grass

production, animal health and feed efficiency, the council’s science director, Reynold Bergen, said at the Alberta Beef Producers annual meeting held in Calgary Dec. 3-5.

Provincial contributions vary, but Alberta and Saskatchewan allocate 20 cents of each dollar of the national checkoff to the research program.

The rest is contributed to Canada Beef Inc. A major project led by Agriculture Canada’s Tim McAllister will assess the environmental footprint and benefits of Canada’s beef industry.

It will analyze how much grain is grown for livestock feed and how improvements in feed production and efficiency have benefitted the environment.

Included in the study will be an analysis of the benefits of carbon sequestration from grasslands, water

It is important that we come up with the numbers to defend our position and continue to illustrate that we are using this stuff (drugs) responsibly.

use and quality and assessment of greenhouse gas emissions from livestock.

Food safety and antimicrobial resistance is another upcoming project. Livestock production and antimicrobial use have been targeted as contributing to the growing problem of resistance in human medicine.

The industry has argued that cattle drugs have minimal resistance prob-

lems and do not contribute to the growing incidences among people.

“It is important that we come up with the numbers to defend our position and continue to illustrate that we are using this stuff responsibly,” he said.

The project hopes to quantify antimicrobial use and resistance that may exist with E. coli and enterococcus. Scientists will look at bacteria isolated from cattle, manure, water and retail meat and compare them to bacteria isolated from sick people.

They plan to isolate the genes from these microbes and find out if the antimicrobial resistance to certain drugs among humans is the same as that found in cattle.

Recent research showed that the genetic origin of resistant campylobacter found in people was different from that seen in livestock.

“If there is antimicrobial resistance in people, don’t blame us,” Bergen said.

“If it is coming from us, it will help us figure out what to do about it.”

Another project is studying stress and pain during common procedures such as castration and calf dehorning. A new code of practice for beef cattle is being drafted and recommendations on pain control are coming to the forefront.

The last code of practice was released in 1991, but public pressure and new technology suggest there are improved ways of doing things.

Other projects include more forage and feed grain research and a beef quality audit.

SCOURS | ALTERNATIVE TREATMENTS

Electrolyte replacement best treatment for scouring calves ANIMAL HEALTH

ROY LEWIS, DVM

P

roducers often look for the magic bullet when it comes to scours treatments.

Antibiotics are helpful if bacteria are involved, but other treatments are usually more likely to work. For example, if I had only one thing with which to treat scours, it would be electrolytes.

The infectious cause of scours is either a virus or bacteria, but it is really the dehydration and electrolyte imbalances from fluid losses that kills calves.

Fluid and electrolyte replacement is by far the most important treatment for scours.

The calf is losing tremendous amounts of water and electrolytes out the back end. Sucking is also diminished if it is really depressed.

A normal 90 to 100 pound calf needs four to five litres of fluids a day for maintenance, or 10 percent of its body weight. A healthy calf takes on more than that to grow and do well.

If a calf is dehydrated, we must help it catch up on fluid intake. The standard recommendation for a scouring calf is one and a half to two litres up to four times daily.

Several good brands of electrolytes are on the market, so see which one your veterinarian recommends.

They are balanced, with the main electrolytes being sodium, chloride and potassium, as well as varying amounts of dextrose for energy. High energy electrolytes are especially important if the calf has lost weight or is going to be on electrolytes for an extended period of time.

There is no protein in the electrolytes, so they can’t be the sole source of nutrients for more than two days.

Otherwise, weight loss will become a major problem.

Getting the calf back onto milk will be beneficial, even if it is for only every other feeding and the scours may not yet have fully cleared.

Don’t mix milk and electrolytes at the same feeding. The electrolytes dilute the milk, interfering with the clotting mechanism that forms the curds and whey. That aggravates the diarrhea further.

Electrolytes come in individual packages or containers holding up to several gallons of powdered concentrated electrolytes. Follow the instructions closely to get the right dilution and seal the container well between uses.

I don’t recommend homemade electrolytes because a mistake in formulation can cause a calf to become too alkalotic or too acidotic or give them salt poisoning.

Quality electrolytes are especially researched and formulated to provide electrolytes in the right proportions.

The only situation where I break from this routine is when a calf is very acidotic. An acidotic calf will be weak with a drunken stupor. I initially treat with one tablespoon of straight baking soda in a small amount of water.

Baking soda or sodium bicarbonate

is a strong base that will help neutralize the acid.

The electrolytes will also do this but the calf ’s body must convert more bicarbonate and the process takes longer. Follow up with your regular electrolytes after the initial bout of baking soda. Do this only on very acidotic calves.

It’s a good idea to give electrolytes anytime you catch a calf to treat it for scours, even if it is only the one time.

Products such as kaopectate and other stool hardeners can be mixed in to help prevent fluid loss out the back end.

They are also mixed in some types of scour boluses, but these bolus tablets drop into the rumen, which isn’t fully

functioning yet, and that reduces the effect. As well, the intestine’s ability to absorb is compromised, so it is best to use injectable products, including antibiotics, where possible.

The natural bacterial organisms in the gut may be killed and must be reintroduced if scours lasts for more than a few days. Several good commercial probiotic products are available that provide large numbers of lactobacillus and streptococcus organisms and help digestion get back to normal. Again, they are more important than antibiotics. Be careful not to over-treat with antibiotics because they may wipe out the normal gut flora.

Isolate the calves and their mothers

from the calving herd in a place that is warm, dry and preferably stress free.

Use a different esophageal feeder for scouring and newborn calves and disinfect everything between uses.

Farmers can be the biggest spreaders of scours. Change coveralls after treating scouring calves, and dip your boots in disinfectant.

It is probably best to deal with calving cows first before treating scouring calves.

Calves are more than eight to 10 percent dehydrated when their eyes sink into their heads, and oral electrolytes alone will not get them back to normal.

This is where intravenous fluids may be necessary.

Non-steroidal antinflammatories such as banamine and metacam to help with shock toxemia can also be helpful, but they must be prescribed by a veterinarian. The kidneys must be functioning when these products are used, so hydrate your animals well.

These suggestions should provide a much better outcome when treating scours than just relying on antibiotics.

As well, prevention methods such as vaccinating and good biosecurity practices will go a long way to stopping the spread of scours.

SHIPPING | PORT UPGRADES

Investment welcome at export grain terminals Brazil, Panama, Washington | Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development says $300 billion in upgrades needed STORIES BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM & REUTERS NEWS AGENCY

CHICAGO, Ill. — Brazil is taking steps to fix its crumbling infrastructure and upgrade its ports, which are among the worst in the world.

The country has allocated $60 billion to fix the problem, including $31 billion over the next three years to reduce bottlenecks at the country’s ports, which is 10 times the investment in public ports over the last decade.

“After 20 years of neglect, this investment is welcome and shows that the government is concerned about the situation of the ports,” said Meton Soares, vice-president of Brazil’s National Transport Confederation.

Shippers say the investment won’t come in time to ease congestion early this year when what is projected to be a record soybean harvest reaches the already crammed ports.

A report released last month by the National Transport Confederation cites a survey by the World Economic Forum that ranked Brazil 108th among 112 countries for port infrastructure quality, below less developed nations such as Mozambique, Guyana and Nicaragua.

Alberto Weisser, chief executive officer of Bunge Ltd., said port facilities in Brazil and Argentina are a nightmare.

“It will make you cry,” he said in a speech at Johns Hopkins University’s School of Advanced International Studies.

Weisser said transportation problems cost Brazilian farmers $1.40 a bushel on their soybean crops.

However, Brazil isn’t the only country in need of an urgent upgrade to rail, road and waterway infrastructure. Low water levels on the Mississippi River are hampering grain barges and imperiling U.S. grain and oilseed exports.

“Infrastructure gets the attention it deserves only when it is dying.”

The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development has said the world needs $300 billion in port and rail improvements from now until 2030.

Farmer AgSummit 2012.

Panama Canal A $5.25 billion project will add a third set of locks on both the Pacific and Atlantic sides of the Panama Canal. It is expected to eventually double the capacity of the canal, expanding traffic by an average of three percent per year starting in 2014.

Wilson said it will be the equivalent of shifting from travelling on a country road with a bridge to cruising down a four-lane highway.

The project will expand the capac-

ity of the canal to 75 transits a day from 42. As well, dredging the third lane to nearly 16 metres will make room for Super Post-Panama vessels, which are capable of carrying much more cargo than a Panamax boat.

However, Wilson said the canal expansion might not be a panacea for U.S. grain exporters: • Grain shippers are unlikely to benefit from larger ship sizes because of port restrictions at many import destinations.

• There is a trend toward shipping more grain out of ports in the Pacific Northwest destined for Asia

rather than shipping through the Gulf to the European Union.

• Anticipated toll increases through the Panama Canal will encourage a further shift of traffic through the Pacific Northwest.

PACIFIC NORTHWEST Bunge North America Inc., Itochu Corp. and Korea-based STX Pan Ocean announced in 2009 that they were building an export grain terminal in Longview, Washington.

The $210 million Export Grain Terminal, which received its first ship in

February, is the first export grain terminal to open in the United States in more than 25 years.

The Longview project prompted $1 billion in expansion projects by most of the other major exporters on the West Coast. E xport capacity is expected to increase by 70 percent.

Exports of wheat, corn and soybeans through ports in the Pacific Northwest have increased to 35 million tonnes per year from 20 million tonnes a decade ago. Shipments through the Gulf of Mexico have declined by 10 million tonnes over the same period.

IF THERE’S A MORE ADVANCED PULSE FUNGICIDE OUT THERE, ONLY THE GOVERNMENT KNOWS ABOUT IT.

Brazil Some of the work in Brazil is underway, said Bill Wilson, distinguished professor at North Dakota State University.

Three pieces of legislation have been passed that allocates $60 billion to infrastructure projects, some of which have already been completed.

One massive project involves paving BR 163, an 1,800 kilometre dirt and mud highway in northern Brazil, and replacing 49 of its 51 bridges.

The revamped road will give farmers access to northern ports via the Amazon River, where their soybeans can be shipped to the European Union and Asia via the Panama Canal. Wilson said it will lead to increased soybean production and better export competitiveness.

“They’d have the ability by 2020 to increase their rate of (soybean) exports by about eight to 10 million tonnes,” he told delegates attendi n g t h e D T N / T h e P ro g re s s i v e

WHEAT | MARKET SHARE

Expansion in corn, soybeans may push wheat acres abroad European Union production | Study shows Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan could produce 35 percent of world wheat exports by 2021 CHICAGO, Ill. — Wheat is being squeezed out of rotations in the United States as genetically modified corn and soybeans continue their northwesterly march, says an agricultural economist.

Bill Wilson, university distinguished professor at North Dakota State University, lives in Cass County,

which used to be the biggest producer of spring wheat and malting barley in the state. It is now the second biggest corn producer.

“We’re producing 200 bushels to the acre in some parts of North Dakota and we have field trials with 300 this past year,” he told delegates attending the DTN/The Progressive

Farmer Ag Summit 2012.

Wilson said the impressive yield results will encourage the continued expansion of corn and soybeans into places like the Dakotas and Montana at the expense of wheat.

“We’ll see more and more technology crops grown in North America, not just in the United States but in

Canada as well. So that’s a pretty big deal,” he said.

Wilson keeps close tabs on seed technology company research and development expenditures for various crops.

“In aggregate, these companies are spending about $8 to $10 per acre per

year on developing technologies in the GM crops. You know how much we’re spending on wheat? Seventy cents. You know how much Canada is spending? Forty cents per acre per year,” he said.

“We’ve got a problem.”

Monsanto expects to double corn productivity by 2030 from a base year of 2000.

Corn has 14 traits in the development pipeline, including nitrogen use efficiency, while soybeans have a couple dozen traits in the works.

Drought tolerant corn performed well in 2012 and will be the “big game changer” in terms of the continued westward movement of corn.

Seed technology companies have partnered with public researchers on GM wheat projects, but the traits they are developing are complex, challenging and a long way off.

The wheat industry hopes the drought tolerance trait will result in a 20 percent bump in yields when it is commercialized around 2021.

In the meantime, corn and soybeans will continue gobbling up wheat acres.

So where will wheat production go?

Wilson said it’s already shifting to the former Soviet Union.

Russia comprises 24 percent of world wheat trade, up from hardly anything a decade ago. It sells to North Africa, Egypt, the European Union, Philippines, Indonesia and Latin America, typically undercutting U.S. wheat by $25 to $50 per tonne.

“This is a big challenge for us,” said Wilson.

There is tremendous potential to expand acreage and yields in the former Soviet Union.

A recent study shows Russia could export 32 million tonnes of wheat by 2021, up from 20 million tonnes last year.

A European Union outlook on longterm wheat exports shows that Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan could account for 35 percent of world wheat trade by 2021, up from 22 percent in 2008-2011.

That increase in market share will come at the expense of the U.S., which will see its share of the market fall to 16 percent from 23 percent.

The EU and Canada will also lose ground.

Details limited as Glencore takes reins at Viterra New owners settle in | Immediate focus will be staffing, administration and pending sale of assets

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Canada’s largest grain handling company entered 2013 with new Swiss owners, but the Viterra logos on country elevators will likely stay in place for a while.

Officials with Glencore International are saying little about what changes, if any, will be implemented at country elevators that were formerly owned and operated by Viterra.

Instead, executives with the Swiss company say they will familiarize themselves with their new assets, consult with senior managers at Viterra and focus their efforts on addressing immediate issues related to staffing, administration and the pending sale of assets to Richardson and Agrium.

After a lengthy regulatory review process, Glencore announced Dec. 17 that it had completed the acquisition of the Regina-based grain company, whose Canadian assets included 258 retail crop input facilities, seven port terminals and 92 primary grain elevators, including 49 in Saskatchewan, 25 in Alberta and 16 in Manitoba.

The $6.1 billion acquisition also included former Viterra assets in the United States, Europe, Asia and

Australia.

Glencore officials declined to be interviewed, but the company said in a Dec. 17 news release that the acquisition of Viterra gives Glencore “immediate critical mass” in North American grain markets and a greater presence in Australia, where it was already one of that country’s largest grain buyers.

“By combining Viterra’s first class assets, grain logistics and processing insight with our global marketing capability, we have the opportunity to become a true leader across the sector with even greater means to meet the needs of farmers and customers globally,” Chris Mahoney, Glencore’s director of agricultural products, said in the release.

The company stated that it plans to complete deals to sell selected Canadian and Australian assets to Agrium and Richardson International in 2013.

Richardson, Canada’s second largest grain handling company, has an agreement with Glencore to acquire 19 western Canadian elevators formerly owned by Viterra, as well as the following assets: • A 25 percent ownership stake in the Cascadia Terminal in Vancouver.

• Full ownership of a Viterra grain terminal in Thunder Bay, Ont.

• Can-Oat Milling facilities in Saskatchewan, Alberta and Manitoba.

• Full ownership of 21st Century Grain Processing, which has oat and wheat milling facilities in Nebraska and Texas.

Richardson announced Dec. 20 that it had received all necessary regulatory approvals in Canada to proceed with the deal.

The company will be working with Glencore to close the deal as soon as possible.

“We are pleased to finalize this deal and acquire these assets, which will allow us to provide western Canadian farmers with more choice in the marketplace and improved access to products and services,” said Curt Vossen, president of Richardson International.

Agrium, meanwhile, is expected to acquire 232 Viterra farm retail outlets in Canada and a handful of farm retail outlets in Australia.

Both deals require government approval.

Glencore also confirmed that Fran Malecha, former chief operating officer with Viterra, has been appointed as the company’s director of agricultural products for North America.

Glencore indicated when it

announced plans in early 2012 to acquire Viterra that some Viterra employees in Calgary would be relocated to Regina.

Twenty to 30 senior management positions are expected to be relocated to Regina from Viterra’s offices in Calgary. In addition, 30 to 40 percent of Viterra’s 485 head office employees in Regina could be affected by the sale of assets to Richardson and Agrium.

Most of Viterra’s former country workers, including 1,600 in Saskatchewan, are expected to retain their jobs, according to a review of the takeover commissioned by the Saskatchewan government and conducted by Informa Economics.

Glencore officials also assured Saskatchewan government officials on other areas of concern: • It will make the Regina head office headquarters for Glencore’s North American operations.

• It will increase Viterra’s projected capital expenditures in Canada by more than $100 million over five years.

• It will invest $8 million more in research and development initiatives, above Viterra’s projected expenditures.

The federal government is putting a positive spin on grain shipments through the Port of Churchill, which are down 17 percent this crop year.

Agriculture Canada said in a Dec. 12 news release that more than 432,000 tonnes of grain were moved through the northern port during the 2012 shipping season, close to the port’s historical 10-year average.

Those figures were supplied by the Port of Churchill via Transport Canada.

The Churchill shipping season normally starts in late July or early August and concludes in late October or early November.

However, data collected by the Canadian Grain Commission paints a different picture.

It says grain exports from the port totalled 421,000 tonnes in the first 19 weeks of the 2012-13 crop year, including 298,000 tonnes of spring wheat.

That is down significantly from the same period last year, when 508,000 tonnes of grain left the port,

including 450,000 tonnes of spring wheat and 58,000 tonnes of durum.

The port’s five-year average from 2007-08 to 2011-12 is 542,000 tonnes between Aug. 1 and Dec. 31.

Grain movement at the northern Manitoba port became a politically sensitive issue last year after Ottawa announced it would take legislative steps to end the CWB’s single desk marketing structure.

Supporters of single desk marketing, particularly those from Manitoba, said eliminating the CWB’s marketing monopoly for spring wheat and durum would hurt grain volumes moving through Churchill.

The CWB was easily the biggest shipper of grain at the por t, accounting for 90 to 95 percent of total grain volumes each year.

To address concerns related to Churchill’s grain traffic, the federal government unveiled a five-year, $25 million program aimed at enticing grain companies to use the Arctic port.

The Churchill Port Utilization Program (CPUP), which was introduced in April 2012, offers a shipping subsidy of $9 per tonne to

grain companies that ship grain, oilseeds, pulses and special crops through the port.

The subsidies are offered on a first-come, first-served basis, with $5 million available each year for the next five years.

Three companies have qualified for payments under the program: CWB, Richardson International and Nearco Transportation Consulting of Dugald, Man. Information posted on Agriculture Canada’s website shows that Richardson received program payments worth $2.35 million while the CWB received $1.57 million and Nearco received $225,000.

Those figures suggest Richardson was Churchill’s largest grain customer in 2012-13, accounting for 55 to 60 percent of the port’s total grain business.

CGC statistics suggest the 421,000 tonnes shipped this crop year represent the lowest total since 2004-05, when slightly more than 400,000 tonnes were moved between Aug. 1 and Dec. 31.

Agriculture Canada said traffic shipments through the Manitoba facility remain strong and are close to the 10-year historical average.

SMALL BUSINESS | PERSONAL ENDEAVOURS

Know the tax rules when earning money from a hobby MONEY IN YOUR POCKET

GRANT DIAMOND

I

n my last article, I described the limitations that the Canada Revenue Agency places on personal services businesses and the ability to claim the small business deduction for work done by a spouse for the incorporated farm business.

These limitations extend far beyond a personal services business to any line of activity done on the farm that is considered a related business. Income from each source must be reported separately.

It’s not unusual for farm families to add to farm income by producing crafts, jams or jellies, soaps or other artisan products for sale at farmers markets and fall fairs. Technically, all

income from a hobby or business venture must be included, but claiming expenses and losses from these sources is challenging from a tax perspective.

The CRA considers these activities as personal endeavours, and the court makes a distinction between a commercial enterprise and a personal endeavour. Personal endeavours include “dabbling, hobby, pastime, amusement, indulgence, diversion, distraction, leisure and recreational activity.” They are considered to provide a personal benefit rather than a financial one.

In one case, the Supreme Court stated that commercial activity requires a subjective intention to profit and evidence of business-like behaviour in support of the intention. The court specifically noted four factors in determining whether the activity was a commercial one: • The profit and loss experience in past years.

• The taxpayer’s training.

• The taxpayer’s intended course of action.

In another case, the court decided that the taxpayer was not engaged in the pursuit of profit but rather in “the pursuit of lifestyle.”

The court hasn’t always abandoned the taxpayer, however. In two cases, the court found that if a personal endeavour is undertaken in sufficiently professional and business-like way, the activity may be

considered a business activity for the purposes of the Income Tax Act. The activity in question was gambling, and the plaintiffs in those cases were considered to be professionals pursuing a profit-making livelihood from their personal endeavour.

So how are expenses reported? If the activity is considered to be a business-like one with the intention of making a profit, then all of the

expenses may be claimed and any losses applied to other income.

If the activity is considered to be a personal endeavour or hobby, then the expenses are limited to income earned and losses are recognized or can’t be carried back or forward, as in the case of a business venture.
