Farmers look to remake cereal research

Taking charge of water

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A collection of prairie farm groups has joined forces to look for new ways to fund public and private cereal breeding programs in Western Canada. Lethbridge farmer and pedigreed seed grower Ryan Mercer said work is underway to identify a new funding model for cereal variety development in the West. A steering committee has been formed to oversee the initiative. The committee has commissioned a report that will examine different funding mechanisms used in other major cereal producing and exporting nations. Dorothy Murrell, former director of the University of Saskatchewan’s Crop Development Centre, and Carman Read, an Alberta consultant who is helping establish new wheat and barley commissions in Saskatchewan, will help prepare the report, which is expected this fall.

Manitoba farms | On-farm reservoirs may ease water problems and boost irrigation BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Manitoba farmers spend the first few weeks of spring desperately trying to get water off their fields and then spend the rest of the summer fearing drought. Water and nutrient management experts made the observation during Keystone Agricultural Producers’ annual meeting last week. They said managing water better could benefit farms and solve some of the phosphorus criticism the industry faces. “We’re not realizing all the benefits of controlling that surface water, particularly when you consider that this is a prairie environment where there is net loss of water,” David Lobb, an agricultural water management specialist at the University of Manitoba, said during a panel discussion. “There is a benefit of actually holding some of that water back and managing a lot better.” Drainage issues were raised at KAP’s annual meeting. A number of resolutions from delegates were about drainage, and some heated arguments were about flooding and drainage in the Red River Valley. The topic has become dominant in Manitoba in recent years, pitting city against country. Many have claimed that farmland is a primary cause of the phosphorus that is causing Lake Winnipeg to become increasingly algae-covered. SEE RESERVOIRS, PAGE 2

Reservoirs beneficial Lobb and University of Manitoba soil scientist Don Flaten promoted the idea of draining surface water to a pond or dugout and then using it later in the growing season for irrigation or livestock production. Building an on-field storage system could cost $50,000 to $100,000 but would make waterlogged land more productive and allow for irrigated production of crops such as corn, which demand much water. Economically, the system should be profitable. The main environmental benefit is not just holding back nutrients such as phosphorus during the spring melt but recycling those nutrients with crops or livestock. Eighty percent of runoff from farm fields occurs as the snow melts, and that’s the worst time of the year for nutrients to be flowing into streams, rivers and Lake Winnipeg. Studies have shown that conservation tillage increases phosphorus runoff, and vegetated buffer strips do little in the spring to use up nutrients because plants are dormant. Flaten said farmers are already doing almost everything they can to correctly apply nutrients. They band phosphorus and inject manure, which leaves few gains to be made from improving nutrient application.

However, huge gains could be made from on-farm water retention and use. Lobb, who is from Ontario, said he has been surprised at the poor drainage of Manitoba fields. He thinks wet areas of fields could be drained better and faster but still keep the water nearby for later in the season, when conditions become dry. Connecting drainage routes to a pond or large dugout clears spring moisture and uses little land. Lobb said the increased productivity of betterdrained land makes up for the loss of a small amount of land for a dugout. “People get concerned about the loss of land by storing water on the farm, but if you look at the land area that’s already currently under-producing because of excess water on the fields, it’s not anything larger than the amount of land area you’re talking about consuming for the purposes of holding water in a pond,” said Lobb. On-farm water storage and later on-farm water use combines both the flood control and drought-proofing issues so is generally beneficial. “That has a huge impact on the flood control for downstream benefit, but it also has the potential to provide significant water for use on the farm,” said Lobb.

Mercer said it will help identify a new funding model and assess a variety of mechanisms, including end-point royalties, that encourage private sector investment in cereal breeding. He said the new funding model must ensure that seed companies have a reasonable opportunity to generate positive returns on their plant breeding investments. “Funding models are changing and it looks like the regulatory environment may be changing over the next year or so as well,” said Mercer, who is president of the Alberta Seed Growers Association. “Discussions of adopting UPOV 91 (enhanced plant breeders’ rights protections) are on the table as well so things are changing quickly.” The Alberta Seed Growers Association is chairing the initiative, but Mercer emphasized that groups sitting on the steering committee represent a cross-section of farmer interests across the Prairies.

FEDERAL COMMUNITY PASTURES | OWNERSHIP TRANSFER

Sask. pasture users want transfer delay 60 pastures in province | Patrons of the federal pastures have questions about forming partnerships to buy the land STORIES BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

SASKATOON — Cattle producers using federal community pastures in Saskatchewan want to delay the transfer of the first 10 from government to users. Representatives from 56 pastures met in Saskatoon Jan. 23 to form the Community Pasture Patron’s Association of Saskatchewan to lobby for the delay. Not all the pastures have joined the new group. The federal government had agreed to a delay until 2014 and would have to approve an extension to 2015. Ian McCreary, a mixed farmer from Bladworth and former CWB director, is president of the new organization. He said patrons need more time to consider all the options. “Our local community pasture has been a critical part of our family farm business for three generations,” he

said in a statement. “It is not responsible for government to hastily disband this important community resource without consultation with the people affected.” Ottawa announced earlier this year it would transfer its 85 pastures to the provinces. Saskatchewan has 60 pastures and the lion’s share of the land involved, much of which was never properly surveyed or registered with land titles. The move also affects 200 pasture managers and riders, who are federal employees. The Saskatchewan government said from the outset that it did not intend to operate the pastures. It appointed an advisory committee of cattle producers, including a pasture patron, to make recommendations on how to proceed. Provincial agriculture minister Lyle Stewart repeated at last week’s meeting the government’s four transition principles:

• Patrons will have the first opportunity to buy or lease the pastures. • Each pasture will be maintained as a block. • Any sales will be at market value. • Any sale of native prairie will be subject to no-break and no-drain conservation easements in perpetuity. He also reiterated that the province will not retain operations of the 60 pastures by adding them to the 52 community pastures it now operates. Stewart said meetings are underway with the patron groups of the first 10 — Estevan-Cambria, Excel, Fairview, Ituna-Bon Accord, Keywest, Lone Tree, McCraney, Newcombe, Park and Wolverine — to go over “concrete numbers” and help them develop business plans. “We know patron groups are hungry for information,” he said. Meeting organizer Joanne Brochu, a Colonsay farmer and patron of the Hazel Dell pasture in eastern Sask-

atchewan, said she is concerned about fair market value and whether the pastures would be affordable. Issues include the value of pasture improvements such as fencing and watering systems, costs that might be incurred for issues such as species at risk protection and compensation for disruption by oil and gas activity. Stewart said it’s clear some pastures will have to be leased. “The lease rates will be based on the carrying capacity of the pastures

and so on. I think they’ll be fair,” he said. Brochu said she was also concerned about being asked to go into partnership with people she had never met should her patron group decide to buy land by establishing a co-operative or corporation. Stewart said regional patrons-only meetings will be held next month. Meanwhile, patrons in Manitoba have formed an association and developed a business plan that it has presented to the provincial government. It proposes that the non-profit association take over the pastures at a cost to producers of 60 cents per head per day for a cow and $30 per year for a calf, based on 90 percent capacity. Pasture managers and riders would be reduced from full time to 75 percent employment. There are 24 federal community pastures affected in Manitoba.

COMMUNITY PASTURES | PARTNERSHIPS

First Nation interested in buying, leasing federal pastures SASKATOON — Wayne Semaganis encouraged Saskatchewan pasture patrons last week to take a good look at his First Nation as a potential partner when federal community pastures change hands. The chief of Little Pine, in the province’s northwest, said his First Nation is interested in buying some of the land through the Treaty Land Entitlement (TLE) claims process.

Little Pine has bought 52,000 acres since a 1992 TLE agreement was reached and is entitled to buy another 44,000 acres to satisfy its claim. “We have over 85 patrons that lease Little Pine property that are non-First Nations,” Semaganis told a user meeting Jan. 23. “I can tell you right now that if Little Pine owned land, I would be able to, with my council, give anybody a 99-year lease.”

He said potential lessees shouldn’t be swayed by misconceptions about how First Nations do business. “We do it on a business-like platform,” he said of Little Pine. Semaganis hired a professional agrologist to handle land issues, including dealing with ranchers and energy companies. Lease rates are set according to area standards, and a chartered accountant looks after

the finances. Under the TLE process, land is bought through a willing seller-willing buyer arrangement. The occupants’ interest must be satisfied for a sale to proceed when crown land is selected. The Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations says 75 percent of patrons would have to approve a pasture sale. Semaganis said the provin-

cial and federal governments have a legal responsibility to settle TLE issues, and First Nations should be first on the list of potential buyers if it is crown land. Legal challenges could be launched. However, he said that isn’t a good way to do business. “We’re not here to wrest something away from somebody,” he said. “We can work together.”

KEYSTONE AGRICULTURAL PRODUCERS | RESEARCH

Cereal research needs producers Wheat and barley | Farmers curious about what they get for their check-off dollars BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Farmers’ last best chance to get a stake in a big crop exists right now, says a leading young Manitoba farmer. But that means wheat and barley commissions are going to have to prove their worth, and farmers are going to need to become involved. “This is an opportunity to keep ownership on one of the only crops left that we have,” Ste. Rose farmer Rob Brunel said during the Keystone Agricultural Producers annual meeting. “It’s time to really own up to that and look at participating actively and providing some input so that these organizations can better represent us.” One of the complications when CWB’s monopoly was eliminated was that it ended the board’s role in helping fund and focus research on former board grains. That role is being taken over by wheat and barley organizations that are slowly forming on the Prairies. The organizations will be funded by check-off dollars, and a number of farmers at KAP said they hoped the money would buy farmers a piece of the wheat and barley breeding business.

Many feel private, non-farmer interests have taken over ownership of most crops, including those developed by university researchers. “Do you ever see the day that farmers ever really own the research?” farmer Wilf Harder asked Western Grains Research Foundation chair David Sefton. Sefton said the WGRF hopes farmers can get a stake of some sort in farmer-funded crop development efforts, but it’s tricky. University research remains owned by the university, but benefits from commercialization are shared with farmers. However, it can be difficult finding private partners because wheat is tough to breed and many private companies need quick returns on their investments. Brunel said farmers are frustrated with paying for research but seeing others receive most of the benefits. “At what point are we going to stop funding research and selling it off and paying for it again and again and again,” said Brunel. Sefton said the WGRF is keenly aware of those concerns and shares them. “What we need to be good custodians of is your dollars, as a private farmer-investor, to ensure that we retain some ownership of that research,” said Sefton.

Safety nets a concern BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Good times bring their own challenges, such as high land prices. However, some farmers at Keystone Agricultural Producers’ annual meeting worried that governments are gutting safety nets while farmers are distracted by present profitability. “Farmers need to realize that AgriStability is no longer part of the protection you have,” Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan vice-president Todd Lewis said during a farm leaders panel. The slashing of the safety net program’s reference margin and changes to the manner in which it is calculated were raised during the convention and discussed avidly at coffee breaks. Manitoba agriculture minister Ron Kostyshyn assured farmers during a speech that farm safety nets will continue to cover them. “Manitoba farmers will continue to have a complete and effective suite of business risk management programs to protect against severe market and production volatility,” he said. Federal and provincial agriculture departments are now negotiating the next generation of farm safety nets, called Growing Forward 2, which should be finalized this spring.

There is broad, general agreement on much of the approach to the next generation, including increased research and innovation funding and limiting cash payouts for problems, but some farmers worried at KAP and at Manitoba Ag Days that good times are allowing governments to walk away from a responsibility to protect farmers if things go bad. “We run under the principle of marketplace, not mailbox,” federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz said at Ag Days. Kostyshyn had a similar attitude at KAP: “Producers these days do not want to farm the brown envelop coming in.” Well known farm policy critic Butch Harder fulminated against the changes to safety nets, the ending of the CWB monopoly and changes like those occurring to the Canadian Grain Commission. “The changes that are coming to the grain commission, we should look at that with horror because those changes that are coming are designed for less and less control by the farmer,” said Harder. World Farmers Organization president Robert Carlson said farmers need to make sure the present period of prosperity allows farmers to acquire more influence because “when we speak (now), we are listened to.”

Malting barley falls out of favour Interest declining | Low prices and inadequate varieties make crop unattractive BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Manitoba farmers can’t find a good reason to grow malting barley, which has crippled acreage on the eastern Prairies. “The only interest I have is from contrarians, people who say, ‘does anybody grow malt barley? No, well maybe I will because I’ll be the only guy in the room who has any to sell,’ ” Manitoba seed grower Eric McLean said during Keystone Agricultural Producers’ annual meeting. “I’m sitting on a pile of barley from last year.” McLean said barley buyers need to make barley seem worthwhile to farmers or they won’t keep growing it. “Barley has to be worth seven bucks a bushel, with no discounts, and then guys will start to grow it,” he said, drawing chuckles and nods from farmers at the KAP convention. “Not $5.25 or $5.75, with only 20 percent (taken) and ‘oh, we won’t take the rest of it.’ ” McLean said farmers in Saskatchewan and Alberta are able to get better yields, but malting barley has become an unattractive acreage choice in Manitoba. Rob McCaig, managing director of the Canadian Malting Barley Technical Centre, said malting barley grow-

ers are in a particularly bad position in Manitoba because few brewers use six-row varieties and the new varieties aren’t liked by Anheuser Busch, the one big international sixrow buyer. However, he also acknowledged the problems with the present specifications-based buying system, which often includes discounting and limited demand for supplies. “We’re getting to a point now with malting barley where demand and supply are getting really tight and the price is going to have to go up,” said McCaig. “The maltsters and brewers have squeezed the farmer enough, acres are coming out all over the world and the opportunity is there for us to progress.” He said contract growing is likely to replace the current practice of growing malting barley and then putting it forward for selection by buyers. “There will be a closer arrangement between brewers, maltsters and the producer.” Unhappiness with malting barley is rife among farmers across the Prairies. “It’s a total crapshoot,” farmer Jeff Elder said in response to a Western Producer question on Twitter. “Pick the malt variety that best meets feed specs and hope the

maltsters are hungry right off the combine. If it doesn’t move, start making plans for feed.” Farmer Geoffrey Hewson said: “We used to grow it as contrarians … which is a lousy reason to grow a crop.” Adviser Brian Voth of Agri-Trend Marketing tweeted: “Lots of guys just giving up because specs are too tight. Rather put down the N and go for yield instead as feed.” The old and still prevalent noncontracting system worked well for the brewing industry when farmers had fewer good crop options. However, farmers don’t need to use malting barley to have a chance at a premium crop now that canola is highly profitable, feed barley is valuable and corn and soybeans are gobbling up acreage in the eastern Prairies and beginning to move west. McLean said he hopes the industry finds a way to persuade farmers to grow malting barley again because the present trend is for it to disappear from Manitoba. “Malt collection facilities will have to be mothballed or else they’re going to spend a lot of money on trucks moving it in from Saskatchewan,” said McLean. “I’d love to see this thing get to the point where barley really can be a Cinderella crop.”

NEW ADDITION GETS A GOING OVER

Ritz hints trade deal with Europe on horizon BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Speculation is increasing that a Canadian trade deal with Europe could come as early as winter or spring, and agriculture minister Gerry Ritz says his sector will be a winner. However, he refused to speculate Jan. 28 on when a deal will come after more than two years of negotiation. He and trade minister Ed Fast were in Brussels late last year to begin the political negotiations to break the impasse on issues such as rules for Canadian livestock exports to Europe and access in Canada for European dairy products.

CANADIAN GRAIN COMMISSION | SERVICE CUTS GERRY RITZ FEDERAL AGRICULTURE MINISTER

“There’s still tremendous good will to get this job done and certainly we want to do it sooner rather than later,” Ritz told a news conference. “I look at a huge overall benefit for agriculture.” Canada estimates a deal could be worth $12 billion annually in increased export opportunity throughout the economy. However, he said merely reaching an agreement will not bring fast benefits. Any deal will still have to be ratified by all 27 European Union countries and the Canadian Parliament as well all 10 affected provinces and three territories, he said. Meanwhile, more than a decade of reforms to the EU’s farm policies appear to have turned the Common Agricultural Policy from an international policy pariah to a model to be emulated, at least as Canadian agricultural economists see it. Last week during an Ottawa meeting of the Canadian Agricultural Economics Society, several speakers praised C AP reforms that have reduced subsidies based on production levels and brought European farm prices closer to world levels. Former senior Agriculture Canada economist Doug Hedley said the EU has made reforms that give it significant leverage in current World Trade Organization talks. “I think they have put themselves in good shape for (the) Doha (round),” he said. Former chief Canadian WTO negotiator Mike Gifford concurred. He said many countries fixated on the costs and trade distorting aspects of CAP until the last WTO deal in 1993. The EU has since made significant reforms, partly for budget reasons. “In North America, we haven’t done anything close,” Gifford told the conference.

More cuts to CGC services advised Fewer mandatory services | Producers’ cost will double under higher fee-for-service charges BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Ottawa’s changes to the century-old Canadian Grain Commission last year are a good start but just the beginning, says a key prairie grain industry leader. Changes in last year’s federal budget bill included ending mandatory inward inspection, but Richardson International vice-president JeanMarc Ruest told an Ottawa conference Jan. 25 that the government should eliminate other mandatory services that cost farmers and the industry money. Government critics have complained that CGC service cuts will hurt Canada’s grain quality reputa-

tion, but Ruest said more mandatory service cuts will not affect Canadian grain quality assurances. “We want to pare back even further the services that are now mandatory,” he told a conference organized by the Canadian Agricultural Economics Society. Ruest said export weighing certificates should be optional because many exports travel from Canadian grain companies to subsidiaries abroad and don’t need the government intervention. As well, the mandatory services that remain should also be available from private service provider competitors if farmers or the industry want to go that route, he added. Ruest argued that grain commission

services now cost a 5,000 acre grain producer $8,000 a year. He said legislation that requires the commission to increase fee-for-service charges so it can become financially self-sufficient this year means the cost will double to $16,000 unless service costs are cut. The cost of regulation in the Canadian grain industry “continues to be heavy,” he added. “Regulations put Canada at a competitive disadvantage.” However, Ruest did not limit his criticism to government regulation. He said the industry has created too many associations and groups that claim to speak for it, often on a commodity basis. Messages to government and the public can be mixed.

“We as an industry have layered on too much cost,” said Ruest. “It is incumbent on us to reorganize ourselves in how we present ourselves.” Ruest also revived the argument that while Canada’s wheat exports during CWB monopoly years traditionally used high quality as a selling point, emerging middle class consumers in developing countries may not pay a premium for high-protein wheat in the future. “Growing world populations may not be looking for high quality grains for which we now receive a premium.” Perhaps Canada should begin to concentrate more on higher-yielding but lower-priced, lower-quality grain that could be in more demand in the future, he added.

RESEARCH | FUNDING

Levy, royalties suggested to boost wheat research BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Wheat research in Canada is lagging because public and corporate funding is inadequate and producers have not yet accepted their funding responsibility, says a prominent University of Saskatchewan agricultural economist. Agricultural economics professor Murray Fulton told a Jan. 25 Canadian Agricultural Economics Society meeting in Ottawa that Canada’s investment in wheat variety research is falling behind the world.

The result could be a decline in competitiveness in what has been one of Canada’s primary agricultural exports over the past century. Corn, soybean and canola sectors that have a form of patent protection for genetically modified varieties are attracting the research dollars now and yield increases or varietal improvements are following. Fulton told the meeting that researchers have concluded more federal research funding is not a viable solution. “Large allotments of public funding is off the table (as an option),” he said.

One of the alternatives is to simply turn research over to the grain companies and strengthen their intellectual property rights over new varieties to give them returns on investment. The other option, said Fulton, is that producers and companies form partnerships and producers pay a mandator y check-off on sales and convince governments to allow end-point royalties at point of sale. It would challenge the existing farmer right to save seed for next year’s seeding without paying for

investment in new varieties, and would mirror a research model working in Australia. Fulton said the alternative is a steady decline in Canada’s wheat competitiveness. “It is the only option that is viable.” He said government has a role to play in making the case to farmers that they need to pay more for their industry to remain competitive. “A game changer is needed in the wheat industry,” he said. Without a change in funding rules “wheat will continue its downward slide.”

Larger 2013 crop pressures wheat prices European, Black Sea crops good | Lower protein classes face biggest potential for falling prices BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU AND REUTERS NEWS AGENCY

Some analysts think hard red spring wheat will soon regain its usual premium over winter wheat. Unfortunately, the view is based on falling wheat prices attributed to good production prospects for winter wheat now growing in most parts of the northern hemisphere and not on an increase in hard red spring wheat prices. “It’s more world wheat prices falling,” said wheat futures trader Austin Damiani of Frontier Futures. “(Spring wheat is) going to be a little more resilient in terms of falling world wheat prices.” The intense drought in the U.S. plains has markets nervous, but Damiani thinks a large winter wheat crop is possible and most winter crops in Europe and the Black Sea region look good. In most years, hard red spring wheat carries a substantial premium to hard red winter wheat and a large premium to soft red winter wheat. HRSW has higher protein and is the best wheat for quality bread products, while SRW is used for lower quality food, such as pastries. HRWW can be used for either purpose but is generally used for lower quality bread products. However, the Midwest U.S. drought and a dry fall in Kansas has caused a significant aberration, with HRWW rising to trade often at almost the same price as HRSW. The U.S. HRWW crop went into dormancy in poor condition and for weeks sat exposed to the elements before receiving some snow cover. The wheat crop in Kansas is now rated 39 percent poor to very poor, compared to 12 percent at the same time in 2012.

Only 20 percent is good to excellent, compared to 49 percent last year at the same point. However, the hand wringing over the current condition of the U.S. winter crop is overdone, say some analysts. Drew Lerner of World Weather Inc. said normal amounts of moisture should hit the central plains this spring as wheat comes out of dormancy, which could allow it to still produce a good crop. Damiani agreed. “Wheat’s a grass. It doesn’t need the big, heavy soakers,” he said.

“They don’t need to have their soil profile restored in order to have very good yields.” A return to normal spring and summer weather in the U.S. central plains would likely weaken the strength of HRWW prices relative to other wheat types. Also, the slow pace of U.S. wheat exports this winter could lead to larger than expected carry-out stocks. As well, generally good conditions outside the HRWW zone are allowing buyers to become more optimistic that the world will soon have a lot

more wheat to consume. Lerner said the U.S. SRW zone, in the Midwest, now has good conditions, as does most of Western Europe. A few areas in Russia and Ukraine are too dry and in those pockets winter wheat is stressed, but most of that region’s growing areas are in good condition. North Africa’s crops are in excellent shape. India is mostly doing well and has become an aggressive wheat exporter this year. There are problems in China’s Inner Mongolia and northeastern regions,

but conditions are good in most of the country’s wheat-producing regions. “They have a potential for a huge crop,” Lerner said about China. “The crop was well established and is likely to come into spring season in a very good manner.” Wheat prices were relatively weak last year hitting a low of about $7.50 per bushel in the spring. But when the extent of the U.S. Midwest drought became known they shot higher to about $10.50 in July, before settling back into a range of around $9.50 that lasted until the beginning of December. Prices then slid $1 per bu. to $8.50, between early December and early January. Recent strength lifted the spring wheat May contract to $8.65 per bu. on Jan. 28 and $8.41 for hard red winter. The price outlook for next fall is weaker. A Reuters News Agency poll of 13 wheat market analysts released Jan. 28 found that new crop SRW futures price estimates for Dec. 31, 2013, range from $5.80 to $8 per bu. with an average of $6.80. That’s well below the $7.78 price of Dec. 31, 2012, but slightly stronger than on Dec. 30, 2011. A weather risk premium should linger in wheat markets until the winter wheat new crop is near harvest. They will then likely give the premium back. “Wheat should also be starting a downturn after a peak between March and July on weather concerns,” Farm Futures magazine senior editor Bryce Knur told Reuters. Good moisture and expectations of large wheat acreages in the U.S. Northern Plains states and the Canadian West will likely build stocks of spring wheat. However, Damiani thinks spring wheat will maintain its price better than hard red wheat.

PEAS | EXPORTS

Canadian pea crop takes on many challengers India, Australia seed large crops | But market for Canadian yellow peas won’t dry up as India’s pulse consumption grows BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Pea exports to India have slowed in the face of stiff competition from Australia and prospects for a good Indian chickpea crop. Indian farmers seeded 22.7 million acres of chickpeas as of Jan. 18, up three percent over last year and 14 percent above normal acreage for that date. The big Indian crop is going in the ground as a record Australian chickpea crop pours into markets in the Indian subcontinent. “It’s like they upended the wheelbarrow and just dumped it in,” said Stat Publishing market analyst Brian Clancey. “Pretty amazing movement.” It all adds up to softening demand for Canadian yellow peas, which are a substitute for Indian chickpeas. Sales to India are down 18 percent through the first four months of the 2012-13 crop year compared to the same period a year ago. “The bigger the desi chickpea crop in India and the more stuff they import from Australia, the less stuff they need to buy from Canada and the easier it is for them to resist prices for Canadian peas,” said Clancey. He is starting to think he may have to increase his 2012-13 Canadian pea carryout of 290,000 tonnes and his forecast of 7.67 million tonnes of Indian chickpea production, which is only one percent higher than the previous four-year average. Sixty percent of India’s chickpea crop is planted in the northern states

Northern India had scant rainfall for the first half of January, but received some moisture mid-month. | FILE PHOTO of Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh. It was dry in that region heading into seeding, and the pattern has continued. A rainfall map produced by India’s Meteorological Department shows rainfall between Jan. 1 and Jan. 23 was “scanty” or “deficient” in Madhya Pradesh and the eastern portions of Rajasthan and

Uttar Pradesh. Drew Lerner, president of World Weather Inc., said Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh received rain around mid-January. Moisture levels ranged from six to 25 millimetres. It was welcome precipitation but not enough to restore production prospects in northern India. “It’s definitely not ideal, and they

definitely need more moisture,” he said. That may come next week. Lerner said two weather systems are developing that could deliver another five to 20 mm of rain across the region. “We will get some shower activity in February that will be supportive to the crop,” he said. Lerner downplayed reports of frost

damage in India’s chickpea growing region. Temperatures dipped below zero, but the coldest it got was -2 C in some areas. “Most of the freeze that occurred were light freezes,” he said. Clancey has spoken to Indian traders who don’t appear overly concerned about production prospects for the rabi (winter) crop. Chuck Penner, analyst with LeftField Commodity Research, said in his Pulse Market Insight newsletter that desi and kabuli chickpea prices have been dropping in India in anticipation of a big crop. Clancey said the market for Canadian yellow peas won’t dry up, even if India harvests a big crop, because pulse consumption is always increasing there. “(It) doesn’t mean (farmers) will sell less, but it means that you may find it harder to sell for a high price because they’re not going to have the same sense of shortage,” he said. The problem is growers aren’t in the mood for lower yellow pea prices when they see green peas selling for twice the price. “It is really hard to convince a farmer who is aware of this that yellow peas aren’t worth anything compared to green peas,” said Clancey. As a result, the trade may find it difficult to pry peas away from growers if prices drop because many growers are in a financial position where they don’t need to sell the crop to pay the bills. The stalemate could result in mounting pea stocks by the end of 2012-13.

ORGANIC MARKETS | DEMAND

World demand for organic crops rises, prices steadily climb Fewer growers | Lower prices in recent years caused shift to conventional crops

The guys who didn’t have the production contracts were able to get some very nice prices.

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

LESLIE JOHNSON GROWERS INTERNATIONAL ORGANIC SALES INC.

Higher prices for organic grain have returned after a lengthy hiatus, say industry officials. Demand for organic crops is building as the United States continues its recovery from a financial crisis that hurt the economy in 2008. “During the recession, you could actually buy organic grain cheaper than conventional,” said Leslie Johnson, marketing manager for Growers International Organic Sales Inc. The rise of unregulated natural food occurred during this time. Consumers saw natural food as a cheap alternative to expensive organic food during economic hardship. As prices collapsed, organic farmers began switching back to growing conventional crops such as canola, which offered attractive per acre returns. The shift away from organic crops was exacerbated by three years of wet conditions in eastern Saskatchewan, which caused a proliferation of hard-to-control weeds in organic fields.

“That’s one of the reasons why we lost so many people in that area,” said Johnson. She estimates the industry lost one-quarter of its growers in Western Canada. The reduction in supply and the return of demand in the U.S. market started raising prices a year-and-ahalf ago. “If you’re an organic farmer, you should be happy,” said Johnson. Current bids for organic milling wheat are about $15 per bushel delivered, up from $12.50 last fall and double the price for conventional milling wheat. Organic feed barley is selling for $10 to $11 delivered, which is double the conventional price and 150 percent higher than the contract price last spring. “The guys who didn’t have the production contracts were able to get some very nice prices,” said Johnson. She estimates most organic crops are selling for a 130 to 200 percent markup over conventional crops.

Wally Hamm, a certifier with ProCert Organic, said the price premiums are here to stay this time. “This is going to be the new norm,” he said. End users enjoyed the low prices that accompanied the recession, but they now realize the devastating impact it had on the supply chain and how difficult it is to rebuild stocks because it takes three years for a grower to become certified. “They are not going to let the prices of organics slip to conventional prices again. It cost them dearly on the supply side. They took a beating because of that,” said Hamm. End users have been forced to buy inferior product from countries such as Argentina and China, he added. Buyers aren’t solely to blame for the grower exodus. Hamm believes farmers made questionable decisions when they left organics. “A lot of guys just jumped on this conventional canola because all of their land was suitable for conventional canola,” he said. Hamm said farmers based decisions solely on price comparisons and didn’t factor in things such as capital costs. Pro-Cert is developing a formula to help growers conduct a more thorough comparison before switching to conventional agriculture.

Johnson anticipates organic prices will remain strong in 2013 despite some resistance from end users. “They definitely want the prices to soften. It’s pricey product right now,” she said. There is still plenty of interest in products such as milling wheat, she added, but while some growers are delivering at today’s prices, others are holding off. “It’s just a game of who will blink first,” said Johnson. Not much product remains in the system. She anticipates that what is left in bins will be sold within the next three months. She hopes more acres will be planted to organic crops this year to meet the burgeoning demand.

PULSES | AFRICAN MARKETS

Growth in Africa presents pulse opportunities Crop breeding needed to meet African taste for beans BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Canada’s pulse industry is ignoring Africa at its peril, says a market analyst. Africa is expected to account for 22 percent of world population by 2050, up from 15 percent in 2010. Economic activity in sub-Saharan Africa has been expanding by five to seven percent a year in the past decade with the exception of the global downturn in 2008-09, according to the International Monetary Fund. African countries have experienced some of the highest average gross domestic product growths in the world over that period. The IMF expects the pace of growth to continue, forecasting a 5.8 percent increase in GDP in 2017, which would make sub-Saharan Africa one of the biggest growth engines in the world at that time. “Demographically and economically we can’t really ignore it,” said Chuck Penner, president of LeftField Commodity Research. He estimates that less than five percent of Canada’s annual pulse exports now go to Africa. However, the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization expects the

continent to be one of the few places where per capita pulse consumption will rise between now and 2030. Consumption is expected to level off in Latin America and decline dramatically in South Asia over the same time period. “I think (Africa) is a market that we have to spend a little bit more time looking at than we have in the past,” Penner told growers attending the pulse portion of the recent Crop Production Week in Saskatoon. He believes Canada’s pulse industry needs to diversify. India and China consume most of Canada’s yellow peas, while India and Turkey buy most of its red lentils. Green pea and green lentil markets are a little more diversified and stable. Penner said it’s scary to be so reliant on India, which is attempting to boost its own pulse production. “We rely on crop failures in places like India to really clear the market,” he said. Ca na d a w i l l hav e to re v i s i t a neglected crop if it wants to increase its presence in Africa. Beans are by far the biggest pulse food consumed in Africa.

However, he acknowledged that breeding is needed to make bean yields more competitive with alternative crops. Many regions in Africa have their favourite type of bean. The pulse

industry must figure out which types present the best marketing opportunity and have a good agronomic fit for Western Canada’s climate. Penner isn’t suggesting Canada neglect its pea and lentil programs but said it’s time to start focusing more on beans, which will also open up markets in Latin America, anoth-

Farmers of North America has reached an agreement to act as a grain sourcing agent for CWB. Bill Martin, FNA’s vice-president of grain handling, said his organization will be paid for each tonne of grain it procures to a CWB pool contract. That revenue, minus deductions, will be passed onto FNA members through the organization’s MPower Rewards program. Martin did not share details of the procurement fee, but said FNA hoped to procure about 200,000 tonnes of grain on behalf of CWB pool programs before Feb. 15. That is the sign-up deadline for CWB’s latest pool offerings: the Winter Pool and the Futures Choice Winter Pool. “We have negotiated a rate with the CWB that we will be passing … back to our members through our MPower Rewards program,” Martin said. “What we always try to do is get the very best deal that we can out of various suppliers and negotiate some type of rebate or discount for our membership,” Martin said. “We view the CWB as a supplier like many others — in this case they are supplying international grain marketing services — and we saw an opportunity to capture some (additional value) … and pass it back to our membership.” FNA members will get the benefits of CWB pooling plus additional incentives such as discounts on the price of farm chemicals covered under the MPower program.

For example, FNA members who commit grain to CWB pools will get a 20 cent per litre discount on eligible glyphosate products. Additional incentives valued at $800 to $1,000 will be offered to farmers who sign up 90 tonnes or more, although details of that incentive were not available by the deadline for this issue of The Western Producer. A joint FNA and CWB statement last week called the marketing arrangement a good fit for both organizations. It will help CWB source more grain to fulfill its overseas sales obligations. CWB’s sales have exceeded its ability to procure grain directly from farmers. A significant portion of CWB’s overseas sales volumes has been procured from other grain companies that buy western farmers’ grain. FNA is well situated to assist CWB with grain procurement. The Saskatoon-based organization has 10,000 members across Canada, including 7,000 in Western Canada. Martin said the agreement will ultimately benefit all farmers by augmenting CWB grain handling volumes and sustaining a more competitive marketing environment. Farmers who sign CWB pool contracts can deliver grain to any prairie elevator that has an agreement to handle CWB grain and oilseeds. CWB also kicked off a series of farmer meetings last week that will continue this week. For more information, visit www. cwb.ca/public/en/hot/events/fbrmeetings/.

MARKETS CANFAX REPORT FED PRICES DRIFT LOWER Packers suffering from weak margins and good supply of captive cattle were not eager to pressure bids higher. Feedlot inventories are manageable, and there were only a few fallplaced yearlings marketed. The loonie fell sharply, encouraging some formula trade to the United States but no cash sales last week. The exchange rate might support prices this week. The Chicago live cattle market rose one percent despite packer losses, falling wholesale beef prices and trade trouble with Russia over the feed additive ractopamine. The weighted average steer price was mostly steady at $115.10 per hundredweight while heifers were $114.42, down 50 cents. Dressed sales were $1 to $2 per cwt. lower. Weekly sales volume was 12,268 head, down one percent. There was no carryover. Sales to date of 71,337 are 23 percent lower than the same time last year. The Alberta cash-to-futures basis tightened slightly to -$11.19, equal to the five-year average. Weekly fed exports to Jan. 12 rose three percent to 4,452 head.

COW PRICES UP Slaughter cow supply dipped, and there was improved demand for leaner cows. D1, D2 cows ranged $67-$78 per cwt. to average $73.33, up $1.66. D3s ranged $60-$70 to average $65, up $2.67. Rail bids at $136-$141 strengthened by $4. There was no demand from Alberta packers for butcher bulls. Almost all are being exported to the U.S.

FEEDERS LOWER Steers and heifers weighing 600900 pounds hit the lowest price levels in more than a year. The Canfax average steer price was down $3.42 while heifers fell $2.32. Chicago feeder futures staged a slight rebound last week but are down substantially since the beginning of the year. Cash buying interest was generally sluggish last week, and all classes of feeders saw lower prices. A few calves on offer had varying quality, and prices were generally $5 lower.

ments heavier than 1,000 lb. held their value. Load lot packages of steers weighing 1,000-1,150 lb. for immediate delivery in recent electronic sales traded at $120.25-$125.75 per cwt. Alberta auction volume last week totalled 18,177, steady with the previous week but down 21 percent from last year. Weekly feeder exports to Jan. 12 totalled 1,790, more than double the previous week. A few forward delivery sales were reported, with 800 lb. heifers for April delivery at $127.75. The weaker loonie should support prices this week.

U.S. BEEF PRICES LOWER U.S. beef cut-out values last week broke below the $190 US resistance level but seasonally are now expected to rebound. Choice cutouts fell $4.19 and Select was down $2.17. The lower prices enticed buyers to take on inventory. Weekly Canadian cutouts to Jan. 18 rose $2-$3.35. Demand for middle cuts improved over the past couple of weeks. Montreal wholesale for delivery this week was steady at $215 per cwt.

CATTLE ON FEED SURPRISES The U.S. cattle-on-feed report released Jan. 25 supported prices, with placements in December much lower than expected. Many analysts expected a 3.8 percent increase in placements because w h e at p a s t u re s u f f e re d i n t h e drought, driving up feed supply. However, placements fell one percent from the previous year. There were 11.193 million head on feed Jan. 1, down six percent from last year. Analysts on average expected a 4.5 percent drop. Marketings fell two percent. Analysts expected a seven percent drop. It was the seventh straight month of lower placements and indicated the U.S. drought and high feed costs continue to create losses for feeders.

WP LIVESTOCK REPORT HOGS HIGHER

BISON STEADY

Cold weather in the United States slowed hog delivery, and packers had to pay up to get supply. Stronger pork prices also support hog bids. The average barrow and gilt live weight in Iowa-Minnesota two weeks ago was 275 pounds, down 1.5 lb. from the previous week and down 0.4 lb. from a year ago. Iowa-southern Minnesota hogs delivered to packing plants traded at $66 US per hundredweight Jan. 25, up from $65 Jan. 18. The estimated pork carcass cutout rose to $85.11 Jan. 25, up from $83.63 Jan. 18. Weekly slaughter to Jan. 26 was estimated at 2.159 million, down from 2.222 million the previous week. Slaughter was 2.154 million last year.

The Canadian Bison Association said Grade A bulls in the desirable weight range sold up to $3.75 Cdn per pound hot hanging weight. Grade A heifers sold up to $3.60. Animals older than 30 months and those outside the desirable weight range may be discounted. Slaughter bulls and cows were $1.70-$1.80 per lb. In the live market, 400-500 lb. 2012 bulls were $2.36 per lb. and 400-500 lb. heifers were $2. Feeder bulls born in 2011 were $1.70 per lb. and heifers were $1.60.

NEW LAMBS DOWN Ontario Stockyards Inc. reported 1,349 sheep and lambs and 66 goats traded Jan. 21. New crop lamb prices fell. All other lambs, sheep and goats traded steady.

Canola acres unlikely to plummet MARKET WATCH

D’ARCE McMILLAN

any analysts expect canola acreage to decrease this year. An average of a Reuters poll of analysts conducted in early January put the decrease at 8.5 percent. The average was 19.7 million acres, with the lowest estimate at 18.5 million and the highest at 21.2 million. That would still be the second largest area ever, but it would mark the first time since 2001 that acreage dropped from the previous year. However, with Canadian and global canola ending stocks expected to be exceptionally tight, you have to wonder if the market will be OK with farmers cutting acreage or if prices will rally to encourage more seeded area? Agriculture Canada, using Statistics Canada’s production data, forecasts that Canadian canola stocks by year end will fall to a bare bones 350,000 tonnes, down from 728,000 tonnes in 2011-12 and 2.2 million the year before. Some analysts believe Statistics

Canada has under-reported the size of the canola crop, but it’s the only hard number the market has available. World stocks are also expected to be exceptionally tight. The U.S. Department of Agriculture expects global rapeseed stocks will fall to 2.8 million tonnes by the end of 2012-13, down from 5.08 million in 2011-12 and 7.01 million the previous year. Canola prices are strongly influenced by soybean prices. The expectation of a huge South American soybean crop, as well as rising palm oil stocks, pressured oilseed values down through the late fall and early winter. Those factors now appear to be mostly priced into the market, and there has been a slight rally from the lows of mid-December and early January. Year-end global soybean stocks are expected to climb by only eight percent, even with the big South American crops, and the stocks-to-use ratio is expected to recover only to 22.6 percent from 21.5 percent last year. The U.S. domestic soybean stocksto-use ratio is expected to be an incredibly tight 4.4 percent. Most analysts expect more corn acres in the United States this spring, but they also expect more soybean acres. Private analyst Informa expects U.S. soybean area to rise to a record 78.78 million acres, up two percent from last year.

If we assume Canadian canola area does fall to 19.7 million acres, that would be a decrease of 1.8 million acres. What could take those acres? Based on the Minneapolis December spring wheat futures, the outlook for new crop wheat is 16 percent higher than it was at this point last year, compared to a 9.5 increase for canola. The stronger price and increased familiarity with the new open market in wheat favours that crop. The average forecast on wheat from the Reuters poll was that Canadian wheat area would increase by a million acres. As well, the recent increasing popularity of corn and soybean in Manitoba means they too will likely gain at canola’s expense. But still, is an 8.5 percent canola acreage decline possible? Remember, Bunge’s crushing plant expansion at Altona, Man., is due to open in the next few months and the Richardson expansion at Yorkton is due to be complete late this year, so domestic demand will be up for the 2013-14 crop. Also, China’s demand rises each year. To lessen their risk, I think buyers in the months leading up to seeding will price canola appropriately to prevent a serious acreage decline.

U.S. TRADE | COUNTRY-OF-ORIGIN LABELLING

CRAIG’S VIEW

Canada needs to get tough over damages from COOL

t might not fit our friendly neighbour image, but it was good to hear Canadian pork producers talk tough on retaliation if the United States does not change its unfair country-of-originlabelling rules. COOL costs Canada’s livestock industry millions of dollars a month, and the industry is right to demand that the U.S. act quickly to comply with the World Trade Organization dispute panel’s ruling from last June. The U.S. is our neighbour and friend, but sometimes even a friend needs a bit of a push when it comes to mending fences. Federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz’s statements on the dispute have the sound of a 19th century gentleman sportsman — we’ve had frank discussions and we expect the U.S. to do the right thing. In a world of overheated rhetoric, such a gentle prodding to comply with the referee’s call might add to Canada’s reputation of being a nice guy, but in the hurlyburly world of American political discourse, it might be lost in the din. The U.S. administration has signaled it intends to bring COOL into compliance with the WTO ruling, but there are strong voices in the American farm community, including R-CALF and the U.S. National Farmers Union, lobbying for the changes to be minimal, making COOL match the letter of the law but not the spirit. A little sabre rattling from north of the border will help keep the spotlight on the need for meaningful COOL changes, which is exactly what the Canadian Pork Council did by preparing and releasing a report calculating COOL’s damage to the Canadian hog industry. As CPC president Jean-Guy Vincent told reporters the day the report was released, the council hopes the U.S. conforms to the WTO ruling peacefully. “But we also have to send a message.” The report by Alberta Agriculture economist Ron Geist found that COOL has cost Canadian pork producers close to $2 billion in direct damages since it was created in the farm bill of 2008 and fully

implemented in March of 2009. Additional damages from indirect impacts total hundreds of millions of dollars, and that is just the impact on the hog industry. The beef industry also suffered. WTO rules allow tariff retaliation equal to the calculated hurt and, thanks to the CPC, we now have a dollars and cents starting point to calculate what could be the retaliation Canada is entitled to if the U.S. does not conform to the WTO ruling by the deadline of May 23. The weight of the potential retaliation sends the strong message that Vincent demanded. It could help tip the scale in getting the U.S. to make meaningful change. It is not as if there are only COOL advocates in the U.S. There are also strong critics, including the main cattle and hog producer groups — the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association and the National Pork Producers Council. The U.S. packers association, the American Meat Institute, also counts itself among the critics of COOL. There is also unbiased data that shows COOL has almost no impact on U.S. consumer buying. A Kansas State University study released in December found that only 23 percent of American consumers who took part in the study’s surveys were aware of COOL. Most participants said they never look for origin information when buying fresh beef and pork products. The report also found there was no change in demand for meat products following COOL implementation. COOL does not deliver on its promise, and with the right push the Americans can be persuaded to the do the right thing. The Canadian pork industry is right to press the federal government to promise swift and effective retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods to help Americans make up their minds.

TRADE | PROTECTIONS

Experts should forget ending supply management and determine best options NATIONAL VIEW

BARRY WILSON

ith the prospect of a CanadaEuropean Union trade deal this year and Canada’s entry into the Trans-Pacific Partnership facing critics like New Zealand, the drumbeat against Canadian supply management grows. Columnists, economists and traders hold the drumsticks. Tariff protections for dairy, poultry and eggs must go if Canada is to have

a deal with Europe! Canada must sacrifice its protectionism if it is ever to be part of a TPP deal! Supply management offends free trade principles and as a relic of the protectionist past must go! So go the arguments. The evidence, of course, is that virtually every other country has its protectionism in one form or another. Are Europeans offended by Canada’s protectionism? Snort. Trade negotiators have spent years trying to peel away the onionskins of European protectionism for many products and sectors, agriculture prominent among them. Is the United States offended by Canadian protectionism? Snort. Shall we discuss sugar, peanuts, cotton and yes, dairy?

At an agricultural economists’ meeting in Ottawa last week, Mike Gifford, former agriculture trade negotiator and prominent critic of the dairy industry’s refusal to approve any reduction in protections, had unusual advice for his fellow agricultural economists — quit obsessing about ending supply management. There were the usual studies about how supply management tariffs, production controls and price setting are an economic abomination denying Canadian producers the right to give up financial security for the joys of exporting more product into volatile export markets. Canadian agricultural exporters were there and their criticism is that product access is undermined by Canada’s refusal to open its dairy and poultry markets. To date, though,

there is little evidence that Canadian exports have been blocked because of supply management — lots of rhetoric from countries opposed to Canadian tariffs but little indication that a concession by Canada would lead other countries to stop supporting their sectors. For Gifford, this was no ‘road to Damascus’ moment of unqualified support for supply management rules. His speech to the conference was simply an acknowledgement that as much as liberal market economists like to make arguments in favour of abolishing the system, that is not going to happen. “It would be political suicide.” Instead of their utopian dreams of free markets, economists should design models about how supply management can evolve to allow more

imports without destroying the stability of the current system. Gifford argued that supply mana g e m e n t c a n e v o l v e, p e r h a p s through increased minimum tariff rate quotas, without undermining the over-quota tariffs that give the system stability. He said a rigid ‘no change’ position for the supply-managed sector is not sustainable in the long term, as long as Canada is negotiating trade deals. “If you want more access to other people’s markets, you have to open up your own markets.” But economists and critics should climb down from their “utopian” free market point of view and help figure out how the least disruptive adjustment can happen. It sounds like a sensible proposal for a roadmap in turbulent times.

How much retirement income is enough?

Snow comes in all shapes and wetness

BY MICHAEL WOLFSON

ow much income would most of us consider enough during our retirement? Canadian finance ministers will implicitly give us their answer when they define a “modest Canada Pension Plan expansion” at their next meeting in June. Canadians might be surprised to learn that more than half of middle income Canadians in their mid-40s with before-tax incomes of $35,000 to $80,000 can expect a drop of at least 25 percent in their post-retirement consumable income, according to a recent study I conducted for the Institute for Research on Public Policy. Should this be a concern? How much do we really need for retirement? In theory, economists have a ready answer: we generally try to arrange affairs so that our consumption stays level over our lifetime. Many practical realities come between textbook theory and the real world, but the idea of smoothing out consumption opportunities between working years and retirement years is widely accepted. Avoiding poverty in old age is the ma i n c r i t e r i o n f o r re t i re m e nt income adequacy for those with low incomes during their working years. Canada has led the world with its Old Age Security and Guaranteed Income Supplement programs, consistently keeping seniors’ incomes just above Statistics Canada’s low income line for decades. However, those who had middle and upper level incomes during

Many Canadians would face a drop in their standard of living after retirement if they do not have personal savings to fall back on. | FILE PHOTO their working years would face a major drop in their living standards when they retired if OAS and GIS were the only sources of income after retirement. This is where the second criterion for retirement income adequacy kicks in: “continuity of consumption.” CPP and the parallel Quebec Pension Plan were not designed to provide full continuity of consumption for everyone. Both were introduced simultaneously with the GIS, while the OAS and increasingly generous RRSP tax incentives already existed. As well, many employers already offered company pension plans, a substantial majority of Canadians reached age 65 owning their own homes, usually free of mortgage, and

the wealthy were expected to look after themselves. The trouble is we have known for decades that these programs and individual initiatives have not been working well for many middleincome Canadians. The federal government’s green paper on pension reform in 1982 gave detailed estimates showing that 20 to 50 percent of Canadians would fail to achieve full continuity of consumption. The business community even arranged for a leading private sector actuary to audit the complex underlying analysis and found no flaws. However, the CPP has not been enlarged and workplace pension plans have shrunk, even though

RRSP contribution limits have been greatly expanded. However, the drop in consumption now projected after retirement is even greater. There are many crucial judgments involved in determining whether a specific proposal for enlarging CPP, with its projected impacts on future retirement incomes, is modest or mere tokenism. For example, should Canadians be expected to sell their house to finance their retirement? Is it OK to face a 10 percent decline in consumption after retirement? What about a 40 percent drop? The country’s finance ministers have not published their officials’ analyses, let alone follow the example of the 1982 green paper, in which a leading actuary was allowed to peer review the analysis. This lack of government transparency, which is a hallmark of our time, means Canadians are left in the dark, not only on the general outlines of the “modest CPP expansion” being discussed, but also, more fundamentally, the underlying judgments as to what an adequate retirement income means.

GRAIN MARKETING | POST SINGLE DESK

Open wheat market appears to be working fine HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

ix months into the crop year and the sky hasn’t fallen. In fact, the transition to marketing freedom has been amazingly smooth. The howls of protest have been reduced to murmurs. Observers would be quick to implicate the end of the CWB monopoly if this was a year of low international wheat prices and/or the various bottlenecks that can often affect Canadian grain transportation. By happenstance, the federal government picked a good year to make the change. Wheat prices have been up and down but remain historically strong.

Grain movement has been good, and producers have had the opportunity to sell much or all of their grain. Producers who have marketed outside of CWB’s voluntary pools have done so in much the same manner as they sell their canola. And with six months of price information available, it has become difficult to accept that the former CWB monopoly consistently provided a price premium. Various academics who studied the issue and who had access to internal CWB sales statistics always maintained that farmers earned more with the single desk. Most CWB directors had the same view. Outside observers would question that analysis, pointing to wheat and durum prices that seemed much higher south of the border. “Apples and oranges,” single desk supporters would proclaim. “You can’t compare a spot price in the U.S. with a pooled price through the CWB here in Canada. Besides, those prices you see posted in the U.S. may only be for a load or two or

they may not be real at all.” Logic dictated that Canadian pooled prices would sometimes be lower than American spot prices. After all, a pooled price is a weighted average. By extension, however, there should also have been times when the pooled price was superior. The latter seemed to rarely if ever happen. Quoted prices in the United States seemed to almost always be higher than CWB’s Pool Return Outlooks. Often there was a huge price difference, stoking the fire to end the CWB monopoly. Well, maybe those wheat and durum prices in the northern tier states just aren’t a fair comparison. After all, according to economic theory, a competent single desk marketer should be able to extract a premium from the marketplace. Serious doubt is now being cast on either the economic theory or the marketing competence. In recent months, the prices quoted for durum and the various grades and classes of wheat in the northern U.S. have largely been on par with the prices

Canadian growers can receive on this side of the border. No need to take your wheat to the U.S. because American prices have magically been extended to this side of the 49th parallel. The U.S. prices are real and so are ours. As in the U.S., Canadian prices vary significantly from one elevator point to the next depending on freight and handling costs and how eager the point is to attract deliveries. But if you follow information sources that list prices paid at elevators in Western Canada as well as in North Dakota and Montana, you see little difference. Canadian prices are not only competitive, they are occasionally higher. Were the supposed single-desk premiums mostly fiction and wishful thinking? There may never be a definitive answer in the academic world, but among most farmers, price parity with the U.S. is a sign that the open market works just fine.

EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

JOANNE PAULSON, EDITOR

ou may have noticed a whole bunch of “not availables” in the precipitation portion of the weather summary on page 87 of the Jan. 24 Western Producer. It’s not something we wanted to do, but the percent of normal part of the weather summary just didn’t look quite right in the Jan. 17 edition. Everyone is likely familiar with the concept that the “millimetres of precipitation” portion refers to the amount of water contained in the snow. It does not reflect, at least not directly, the number of centimetres that have fallen. Even though the millimetres reflect the moisture held within the snow, the numbers seemed a little off. For example, Swift Current, Sask., was showing seven percent of normal. T h e R e g i na a re a, w h i c h by a l l accounts is seeing record snowfall this year, showed just 24 percent of normal. Only Prince Albert, Sask., was even close to normal, at 91 percent. It is certainly the case that snow generally holds less water than one might think. At Crop Production Week in early January, Drew Lerner of World Weather Inc. said that despite the considerable amount of snow, in some places only two to sixtenths of an inch, or a maximum 15 mm of water, lurk within. But the averages still seemed a little out of whack. Measuring water in snow is difficult and inaccurate, according to those who attempt it. If the wind is howling, the snow is blown around and misses the gauges that collect and then melt the white stuff. As weather page guru Michelle Houlden (our art director) wrote two years ago, moisture content can vary widely from place to place or storm to storm. This is why the Environment Canada weather reporting stations melt the snow and report the moisture as rainfall equivalent. Whether fluffy or heavy, you get an apples-toapples comparison when all the snow becomes water, she pointed out. One millimetre of precipitation is roughly equivalent to one centimetre of snowfall. Agriculture Canada thinks it has solved the problem by using a number of tools to more accurately estimate the amount of moisture and the percent of normal. They did a complete re-audit of prairie weather conditions from Nov. 1 to the present, and what you’ll see on the weather page is the result. It looks much closer to reality to me. See if you agree.

OPEN FORUM LETTERS POLICY:

ENTITLEMENT ATTITUDE

Letters should be less than 300 words. Name, address and phone number must be included for verification purposes and only letters accepted for publication will be confirmed with the author.

To the Editor:

Open letters should be avoided; priority will be given to letters written exclusively for the Producer. Editors reserve the right to reject or edit any letter for clarity, brevity, legality and good taste. Cuts will be indicated by ellipsis (…) Publication of a letter does not imply endorsement by the Producer.

In the Jan. 10 Western Producer, Kevin Hursh writes about entitlement attitude among farmers. In response to his article, he is downloading more guilt onto young and older farmers about how they were getting handouts from government programs, whether through rail freight, the Canadian Wheat Board or the NDP government. I don’t have time or the exact figures to quote you. Let me say to you there is not one farmer that I know of or have talked to that has wanted government assistance in any form, if only we would have gotten a fair price

for our product. Farmers have been manipulated by government, rail companies, CWB and purple gas programs to where it has eliminated a lot of young producing farmers from the land. Over the years from these policies, farmers now depend on the banks and other financial institutes to keep raising cheap food. I do have an example of feed being too expensive and that is in the hog industry. I don’t know for sure who is to blame — the consumer, management or the access to easy money. For some reason they can’t afford to pay for the feed I gave them. In ending, I think people in general should be hoping that farms can survive with the high costs of everything

that goes with farming. It would be the best for all if we can keep farming. John C. McBurney, Coronach, Sask.

MARCHING IN PEACE To the Editor: I have now attended two marches with Idle No More and have been extremely impressed as to the peaceful nature of the movement. There is a gentle dedication in INM that recognizes the inherent good that is in most people. INM presents a beautiful recognition of human

optimism and potential. It addresses the underlying frustration of the majority that we are being inhibited from progressing with positive change for the benefit of all present and future life on earth. INM has given hope to that generally silent majority that we can successfully entertain visions based on sustainable harmony with our natural environment. Apparently, INM has the attention of most and the hearts of many Canadians. The only damage the movement has created is to erode the elitist contention that the worship of the almighty dollar is the singular defining measurement of human success. This measurement devalues lifetimes of conscientious human activity to no greater recognition than quarterly financial reports. It degrades the gifts of natural resources given to all life through creation to a future of resource domination for immediate financial profit of the few. It is a measurement that asks the question, what is the value of human qualities and institutions such as love, family, community, health, prayer, peace and prosperity? The measurement retards the potential of human progress by reducing access to affordable education, health care and the basics of food, shelter and clothing. The measurement controls societies, countries and most of the present generation through the systematic implementation of consumerism through debt slavery. The corporate elitists whose figurehead in this country is our prime minister never counted on Idle No More and they are presently confused as to how to deal with it. Minor condescending concessions can no longer camouflage the menacing corporate agenda. INM has made that very clear. Violent crackdown is still an option. (Prime minister Stephen) Harper has already built the prisons…. He has already rejected our traditional practices in his contempt for democracy and parliamentary procedure. To pacify the public by reversal of his inflammatory policies, which created the INM movement in the first place, seems a little too farfetched to expect from Mr. Stephen Harper. Greg Chatterson, Fort San, Sask.

The Idle No More movement is an ideal opportunity for the rest of Canadians to support the just demands of the Indians and Metis who have patiently waited 150 years for equal treatment under the treaties they were forced to sign. We, as the rest of Canadians, are just as much to blame as the governments of the day. If the rest of Canadians feel inconvenienced enough by the demonstrations, they would be working in their own best interests to support the claims fully. The only trouble will be when business is inconvenienced. The police and courts will be used to break up the demonstrations. Meanwhile, the government will be

OPINION trying to demonize them to try to justify their tardy response. We can only hope the people do not become discouraged and quit because the government will use every means at their disposal to avoid making any worthwhile changes to the existing conditions or the Indian Act. Jean H. Sloan, Lloydminster, Sask.

DEMOCRATIC ACT? To the Editor: Since the CWB director elections began, pro-board single desk farmers running for the positions of director have won 80 percent of the elections — anti-CWB farmers have won a mere 20 percent of the positions available.

THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | JANUARY 31, 2013

Over a year ago, a poll was taken as to how farmers felt about retaining the CWB and its single desk powers. Sixty-two percent were in favour, 38 percent against. The federal government knew this and decided not to allow farmers to vote on the matter. Instead, they used the heavy hand of government to destroy the CWB. They acted and performed more like dictators than members of a democratic government. I have a very important question to ask the honourable Garry Breitkreuz (MP, Yorkton-Melville) and I hope to receive an honest sincere answer. How does forcing the wills and wants of a minority on a majority translate into a democratic act? Marketing freedom indeed.

Winter storms teach lessons SPIRITUAL VIGNETTES

JOYCE SASSE

emember the snowstorms that blew across the Prairies in the late spring of 1967? In some places they occurred over three weekends. Any mention of that time on a snowy day still brings many images back to mind. One farm woman talks about the struggle to get her to the hospital to deliver her second son. The men talk about the exhausting work of trying to do chores. Helicopters carried bales to cows and newborn calves trapped by the drifts. Antelope were a hazard on the plowed railroad track. A winter storm runs chills through the bones of anyone who has dug for buried vehicles, kept a careful check on older neighbours or formed truck convoys to go to town for supplies. Seldom do we think about what it would be like to face winter conditions in the Holy Land. While they may not have the extremes of the Canadian Prairies, neither do they have the well-equipped homes, clothing and vehicles that are a necessity for Canadians. A passage from the book of Job gives a sobering reminder. The Almighty challenged the haughtiness of Job by asking, “have you ever visited the storerooms where I keep the snow and hail? … Have you ever been to the place where the sun comes up or the place from which the east wind blows…? Stand up like a man and answer the questions I ask.” We have this dramatic picture of Job standing before his maker. The storyteller gives voice to the suffering man who says so simply, “(until now) I knew only what others had told me (about you). But now I have seen you with my own eyes … I repent.” The powers of the Creator are both awesome and humbling. What more need be said.

Governments working Beef producers’ access on fund for hog industry to Japanese market expands Line of credit | $75 million announcement coming

Younger than 30 months | Move could double beef sales to Japan

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Even as he announced a potential doubling of the value of Canadian beef exports to Japan Jan. 28, agriculture minister Gerry Ritz predicted more access to come. Japan has agreed to accept Canadian beef from cows younger than 30 months old, a decade after foreign markets slammed shut to Canadian beef because of BSE in an Alberta cow. The country’s previous age limit was beef from animals younger than 21 months. Ritz said the Canadian government will continue working to see that the Japanese market totally opens to Canadian cattle. “That’s our hope,” he told a news conference. “We have used a staged access agreement with other countries. Hong Kong is an example where we have full access and it has worked extremely well.” Ritz would not predict when the next phase of the market opening could occur, although Japan’s focus on food safety ensures that negotiations will be long and arduous. The beef industry applauded the Jan. 28 announcement by Ritz, which is expected to take effect Feb. 1. The increased access is expected to double the value of Canadian beef sales to Japan to as much as $150 million annually.

The Manitoba government supports the idea of a proposed hog stabilization plan but wants the federal government to be co-underwriter. “We’re still in consultation with the federal government that we work together to support the hog industry as far as the stable funding,” Manitoba agriculture minister Ron Kostyshyn told reporters during the Keystone Agricultural Producers annual meeting. The Manitoba Pork Council and the provincial government have sketched out a plan to create a $75 million government-backed line of credit for hog producers. Farmers would be compensated from the line of credit if prices fall beneath the cost of production, which they would pay back with interest when margins were profitable again. The payback would probably be capped at $5 per hog and continue until the debt is repaid. Kostyshyn said he expects to announce something about the support program “in a very short order.” He also said he thinks processors

“Japan is an extremely important market and this expanded access will breathe new life into the Canadian beef cattle sector,” Canadian Cattlemen’s Association president Martin Unrau said in a CCA statement about the announcement. He said increased access to Japan could increase the value of animals younger than 30 months by up to $30. He called it “an outstanding result for Canadian cattle producers” that will double the number of cattle eligible for the Japanese market. Japan is Canada’s third largest beef export market. Unrau praised the federal government for pursuing the deal with Japan over the years. “The removal of foreign barriers to Canadian agri-food exports is always a long and arduous undertaking that must be negotiated on a government-to-government basis,” Canadian Meat Council chair Ray Price said in a statement. He also noted the role of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency in the process. Unrau said the 21-month rule was a

need to help ensure that farmers are financially viable because they need the hogs. “We need to come together as one family and have a mechanism so that we can evolve that,” said Kostyshyn. “We can’t afford to lose any more producers, but we need to have some mechanism to make it financially stable for those years (when market disasters occur, like in 2012).” He also said he can foresee a time when the government’s strict controls on hog barn construction and expansion are relaxed. Farmers might be allowed to build new barns or expand existing operations once environmental concerns about manure nutrient leaching and runoff are alleviated. “The day will come when we have it nailed down properly, and I think the expansion of the hog industry will occur down the road, but we need to do our backyard cleanup first,” he told reporters. “Once we’ve been able to determine that we’ve been able to do our due diligence, of controlling any environmental issues, then we’ll move forward.”

Alta. to open seed diagnostic lab

Subsidies, donations help send hay east

Private sector leaves business | Lab will identify pest threats and diagnose physiological damage BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Alberta Agriculture is hoping to open a new provincially funded diagnostics lab within the next few months. Paul Laflamme, head of pest surveillance at the department’s Crop Diversification Centre North (CDC North) in Edmonton, said renovations are underway to make space for the new lab. The new facility will diagnose weeds, insects, diseases and physiological problems in field crops on a fee-for-service basis. It will not conduct quality tests on seed and feed that private sector labs already offer, he added. “We have private labs that are doing (seed and feed tests) and they are doing an excellent job,” Laflamme said. “We’ll only be doing diagnostics. That’s something that was privatized by the province years ago but all the companies that took over (have since gone) out of business.” He said government operates most agricultural diagnostics labs in Canada.

Diagnostics work in Alberta is now handled at a variety of locations across the West, including provincial laboratories in Saskatchewan and British Columbia, university labs and Agriculture Canada facilities. “It’s something that private industry just can’t operate,” Laflamme said. “There’s not enough profit in doing (diagnostics tests) … so it hasn’t been taken up by anyone. We’re trying to fill the void that’s been created.” The province has not made a formal announcement about the new facility, but Laflamme said Alberta Agriculture is hoping it will be operational for the coming growing season. The lab will provide insect, weed and disease identification and diagnose physiological damage caused by hail, frost, pesticide residues and other environmental factors. It will also conduct soil bioassays for pesticide residues. The lab will operate on a partial cost-recovery basis, which means tests will be conducted on a fee-forservice basis. However, all tests will be offered at a subsidized rate, as is the case at most diagnostics labs in Canada.

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Alberta expects its diagnostic lab to be open within the next few months. | FILE PHOTO Laflamme said the lab will use classical diagnostic methods as well as DNA testing, putting it on par with the most modern diagnostics facilities in Canada. The cost of establishing the new lab has not been made public. “It’s basically if a farmer or an agrologist comes across a plant that’s

diseased or if he thinks its being attacked by insects but he’s not sure what it is, he can send (a sample) in for identification.” CDC North is an applied research station owned and operated by Alberta Agriculture. It has been involved in Alberta crop research for more than 50 years.

Hay is still flowing east from the Prairies, even after the surge of donated forage from the Hay East program finished moving across the Canadian Shield. Prairie farmers are now selling hay to Ontario farmers, keeping alive connections that were made in the fall. “That pipeline is still there,” Agricultural Producers of Saskatchewan vice-president Todd Lewis said during Keystone Agricultural Producers’ annual meeting. Subsidies and other forms of support are still helping pay the high price of hauling bulky bales far further than hay would ever normally be hauled, but prairie farmers are now treating Ontario as another available market for prairie forages. Lewis said in an interview that the hay sales need the transportation subsidies to be viable, but the biggest asset underlying the new market is the network of truckers who are now experienced in hauling hay west to east.

“There’s a whole infrastructure that can get hay loaded in Saskatchewan, Alberta, Manitoba and head east, and that still exists,” said Lewis. “Nobody has to phone a bunch of people to get transportation out there.” L ew is thinks prair ie far mers donated nearly 200 loads of hay during the Hay East program to help drought-stricken Ontario farmers who faced a dangerous situation going into winter. Many farmers in Ontario worried they would have to sell parts of their herds because they couldn’t find enough hay for the winter. Fortunately, the Prairies had a good crop of hay. A combination of farmer donations, government programs and private company support made a “small dent” in Ontario’s estimated need for 50,000 bales. Lewis said the donations and sales to Ontario farmers, as well as big pu rcha ses o f pra ir ie hay f ro m drought-stricken U.S. farmers who also received transportation subsidies, resulted in Saskatchewan “basically being cleaned out of hay this winter.” He said many prairie farmers were happy to donate to Ontario farmers, even in a hot market for hay, because they remembered help from the East during earlier droughts.

COURT CASE | CATTLE THEFT

DNA wins the day for Sask. cattle producer Good record keeping | DNA tests help catch a thief BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Glenn Strube has proven that DNA and dogged detective work aren’t just the realms of scientists and police officers. The mixed farmer from Shellbrook, Sask., recently saw his determination rewarded at a trial over the loss of his bred heifers more than three years earlier. Following a week-long trial in Court of Queen’s Bench in Prince Albert, Sask., in December, judge G.

M. Currie found Kelly Deck, who also farms near Shellbrook, guilty of theft of cattle over $5,000 and making a counterfeit mark on cattle. He was found not guilty of fraudulently possessing cattle found astray. Deck, who is serving six months on a conditional sentence order, including making $7,200 in restitution, has said he plans to appeal the conviction. Strube’s story began when some of his bred heifers disappeared in late September of 2009. He was pasturing 30 heifers and

two bulls on a half section of his land 11 kilometres northwest of his home quarter. After checking his herd over several days, Strube determined that 10 of his bred heifers were missing. He said he initially thought the cattle had wandered into the bush or outside his property, perhaps into another herd. Theft was the furthest thing from his mind. “Wasn’t concerned at first because that happens fairly often because there’s quite a bit of bush on that land and the group could just be in the bush,” he said. “But the next day when I go up and check, the same 10 are missing. So I’m still not overly concerned because the perimeter of this half section is fenced as well. “The next day I go check again and the same 10 are missing and then I know that they’ve got out, disappeared. So then I start searching.” Calling his neighbours was the start of an aggressive investigation. “Phoned around and spent lots of time looking,” he said. Strube’s suspicions grew after a snowfall made it easier for him to look for hoof prints, but to no avail. “It snowed and that’s good because I’ll be able to track them now pretty easily if they’re out there somewhere, but absolutely no tracks and no one has seen them,” he said. “So then you’re suspicious, but you still think nobody would steal them. I didn’t notice any truck or trailer tracks coming in there.” Strube expanded his investigation after several days of not seeing any sign of the animals. He began by phoning livestock facilities in Saskatchewan, and a buyer at the third facility on his list, Saskatoon Livestock Sales, told him that Deck had recently marketed cattle there. Strube said he next contacted the brand inspector, outlining the situation along with a detailed description of his missing cattle. Strube said none of his heifers were branded but they were tagged with radio frequency identification tags and his personal

dangle tags in opposite ears. The consensus from the brand inspector and Shellbrook RCMP was that it was highly unlikely the missing cattle would ever be found. “They (police) didn’t give much hope either. I was pretty discouraged,” he said. “They thought it was maybe hearsay and neighbours having trouble. They didn’t think it was theft. They just assumed I had misplaced them and they were still out there.” That’s when DNA came into the picture. It was the one important detail Strube had going for him and later proved to be a cornerstone to solving the case. “I told him (brand inspector) if we could find these cattle, couldn’t we take DNA and compare them to my cows. I know the mothers. Being in the purebred business, you have to keep track of the pedigrees,” he said. “Eventually I got the phone call that they had found my alleged heifers and they wanted to do a DNA on them.” Nine of the 10 heifers were found at a feedlot in Duck Lake, Sask., while the remaining one had gone to southern Alberta. Strube said his ear tags had been cut out and replaced with Deck’s radio frequency tags. DNA tests were completed on all nine animals at the feedlot, as well as the mothers and a remaining sire at Strube’s farm. The crown paid for the DNA testing on the nine animals, while Strobe paid $1,055 for testing at his farm. Str ube said he is “elated and relieved” following his three-year ordeal.

He now questions the value of his perseverance. “This is almost not worth it, after all we went through. Of course we found him guilty; that was good,” he said. He advises other producers to brand their cattle and be able to individually describe as many of them as possible. “That’s how I won this case. I knew that one of them had a breathing problem and that was quite important because that came up in court as well…. Attention to detail.” Crown prosecutor Jennifer Claxton-Vicki said Strube maintained a book of records consisting of dates and times of birth, whether they had to be pulled and the identity of each of the calves’ dames and sires. “Really, I think what persuaded the judge to accept his evidence and to give it a lot of weight was his record keeping,” she said. “All this kind of stuff just really gave the judge the impression that this guy’s paying attention and so if he said these are his cattle, he’s probably got it right.” Good record keeping also includes DNA. “I’d say the DNA was extremely crucial in this case (in) proving that these cattle came from my herd,” said Strube. At the end of the day, he said producers need to look out for each other. “It’s impossible to check them everyday. We’re just too busy … but you depend on your neighbours if something is out. That’s just common courtesy around here. You expect your neighbours to let you know if you have cattle out.”

PLANT BREEDING | BREEDERS’ RIGHTS

Plant breeders’ rights may expand BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The federal government has begun work aimed at amending Canada’s plant breeders’ rights legislation. “We’ve begun discussions and we’ve begun the work that’s required with industry … to move to that end, but those discussions have just begun,” said agriculture minister Gerry Ritz. He said recent changes to the Canadian grain industry, including elimination of single desk grain marketing and removal of the kernel visual distinguishability system have helped create an environment more conducive to private sector investments in plant breeding. Updating Canada’s Plant Breeders’ Rights Act, which was passed in 1992, will improve the investment climate and ensure Canada’s breeders’ rights protections are equivalent to those in other countries, he said. Ritz’s comments prompted an angry response from the National Farmers Union. NFU president Terry Boehm said amendments to the existing act could be a significant infringement on farmers’ rights. “At the end of the day, we’re going to be shifted to a place where farmers will increasingly be unable to save and reuse their seed and their costs are going to go up significantly,” Boehm said. Canada’s Plant Breeders’ Rights Act gives plant breeders the right to collect royalties on PBR protected seed varieties for 18 years. It also prohibits the unlicensed sale of PBR protected varieties as seed, but allows producers to save and reclean their own harvested material to replant on their own farms. Amending PBR legislation to conform with the most recent template established by the International Union for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants, UPOV 91, would extend breeders’ rights to a minimum of 20 years. It would also expand breeders’ rights to include exclusive control over cleaning, conditioning and storing PBR protected seed. It is has yet to be determined if new legislation would uphold the farmers’ right to save and clean harvested material for replanting on their own farms, a concept known as farmer privilege. The UPOV 91 template gives member countries the option of maintaining or waiving farmer privilege in domestic legislation. Ritz said discussions regarding farmer privilege are underway. “That’s the nature right now and we’ll continue to work to that regard.” New legislation will be aimed at serving the best interests of farmers, he added. The Saskatchewan government has also indicated support for updating federal PBR legislation. At a recent grain industry meeting in Ottawa, the manager of Saskatchewan Agriculture’s crops branch said updating PBR protections to conform with UPOV 91 is a priority. Penny McCall said expanding plant breeders’ rights is a polarizing issue, but improvements to PBR protections are necessary to ensure plant breeding investments are optimized. McCall said Saskatchewan would

like to ensure that farmers’ privilege to use farm-saved seed remains intact. Ottawa proposed similar legislative amendments to breeders’ rights in 1999 as part of Bill C-80. Parliament was prorogued shortly after the amendments were introduced and the bill died. Boehm was critical of arguments that promote PBR amendments as necessary to attract more investment. He said current PBR legislation fulfills all of Canada’s international obligations pertaining to intellectual property protection. Existing mechanisms allow canola seed companies to extract hundreds

of millions of dollars per year from farmers’ revenues, he added. Boehm said a further erosion of farmers’ rights will present greater opportunities for private sector companies to extract more money from primary producers. The concept of farmer privilege is a critical consideration, he added. Farmer privilege is not explicitly defined in the original UPOV 78 template but is defined in UPOV 91. “The shift to defining a farmers’ privilege means that a government can decide on a crop by crop basis whether or not you can save and reuse seed,” Boehm said. “So something that’s (considered) a

fundamental practice in agriculture now becomes a privilege bestowed upon farmers by the government of the day and … with this government, that’s a huge worry.” Anthony Parker, commissioner of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s Plant Breeders’ Rights Office, said upgrading PBR legislation to conform with UPOV 91 standards would give plant breeders more opportunities to collect royalties on PBR protected varieties and improve returns on plant breeding investments. It would also give them more control over protected varieties and increase their ability to prevent PBR infringements.

Some growers worry that new legislation will eliminate their right to save and clean harvested seeds for replanting on their own farms. | FILE PHOTO

WHEAT | BREEDING RULES

Red tape hinders investment in wheat breeding Lengthy variety registration | The Canadian Seed Trade Association organized discussions among experts on improving the registration process BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Regulatory obstacles are partly to blame for limited private sector investments in wheat breeding, says the head of the Canadian Seed Trade Association. Speaking in Edmonton last week, CSTA chief executive officer Patty Townsend renewed calls for government and the wheat industry to create an environment that is more conducive to research and development investments by private sector

plant breeders. She said Canada’s variety registration system is too restrictive and puts too many hurdles in front of plant breeders and private sector investors. She also called for amendments to Canada’s Plant Breeders’ Rights Act and said the CSTA is in the process of developing co-existence plans that would include guidelines for producing organic and genetically modified crops in the same vicinity. “Variety registration is a very sig-

nificant barrier to innovation right now, especially in cereals,” said Townsend. “It can take up to 13 years to bring a new wheat variety to market in Canada. Seeing that problem, our board has set that as a priority.” The CSTA recently facilitated an industry discussion aimed at identifying potential improvements to Canada’s variety registration system. The discussion involved 44 experts, including public plant breeders, private sector researchers and govern-

ment regulators. The group discussed several options: • Reducing the number of check varieties for some crop types. • Reducing co-op or pre-registration trials from three years of data to two years of data augmented by one year of valid information from another source. • Allowing interim registration of new crop lines after two years of co-op testing. • Establishing additional crop quality labs to test new crop lines that

are under development. • Reviewing membership requirements and voting procedures for certain committees involved in supporting new crop lines for commercial registration. Townsend said the proposals will be brought to the Prairie Grain Development Committee when it meets in Saskatoon in February. She acknowledged that some of the 44 people involved in the discussions were concerned about the CSTA’s objectives in facilitating a review of the system. She described the talks as co-operative but not without challenges. “A lot of public sector researchers were a bit concerned about the CSTA’s role in this … so we had to overcome those challenges first, but after we did that, there was a lot of really good co-operation and a lot of really good input,” she said. “We had to overcome a lot of people thinking that we were trying to blow up the entire variety registration process, and that’s not the case.” Townsend stressed that the CSTA’s role in variety registration discussions was that of a facilitator. “Our association will be considering options for our position on variety registration when we meet as a board in February.” Status quo preferred

Discussions about variety registration reform have generated opposing viewpoints from stakeholders who think the current system has served the grain industry well. Some believe maintaining stringent quality standards and exposing new cereal lines to an extensive review process has benefited farmers and the grain trade. In a recent commentary, the Canadian National Millers Association urged Canada’s grain industry and regulatory authorities to move cautiously when it comes to variety registration reforms. CNMA president Gordon Harrison said current variety registration and evaluation mechanisms are not out of date and have ample scope for market driven adaptation. “CNMA’s advice remains that Canada’s grain industry and regulators move cautiously to protect the integrity of cereal grain classes that are in demand in high value markets, Canada and the U.S. in particular,” Harrison said. In a recent email, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency offered a similar view, suggesting the variety registration system was recently amended to ensure greater flexibility and is well poised to adapt in response to an evolving grain industry. “Change is a certainty for Canada’s wheat industry,” the email stated. “The current variety registration system is designed to adapt and be responsive to stakeholders’ needs.” Representatives of the Prairie Grain Development Committee who were contacted last week said they had no knowledge of specific recommendations that would be brought forward regarding changes to the variety registration system.

SOBERING STATISTICS

Caution urged for kids on ATVs

• Over the past five years, an average of 447 Canadian children under the age of 15 were hospitalized every year for ATV-related injuries. For those aged 15 to 19, there was an average of 506 admissions per year.

Safety courses offered | Instructor says program targets parents as much as it does children BY M. CAROLYN BLACK FREELANCE WRITER

All terrain vehicles are fun for children to ride but should not be treated like toys, a certified ATV safety instructor cautions families. “I think it’s an absolutely great sport, there’s a lot of fun to be had. It opens up a lot of country that you can get into, but (operators) need to be trained and they need to respect the machines,” said David Burnett. ATV use is higher in Saskatchewan than in other provinces due to access to an abundance of rural areas and that means a greater potential for accidents. Burnett recalled the story of a 12-year-old Saskatchewan female driving an ATV with a friend aboard when she pulled in front of a semitruck. “Fortunately, it just clipped the machine, rolled it in the ditch and the girls were OK, but I understand the parents did have charges laid against them,” he said.

Children represent a disproportionate number of ATV accidents, which injure more kids each year than dirt bikes, jet skis, go-carts, scooters and snowmobiles. The average age of individuals treated at emergency departments in Canada for ATV-related injuries is 15, according to the Saskatchewan Prevention Institute’s website. In 2009-2010, 3,000 people were hospitalized with ATV injuries in Canada, a figure that does not include emergency room visits and fatalities. “The biggest problem we’ve had since day one with these machines is that Dad and Mom want the kids to ride an adult sized machine, and those machines are just physically too big,” Burnett said. A full-sized ATV can reach speeds between 90 and 150 km/h but even ATVs in the 125 cc range, designed specifically for children between ages 12 and 15, can reach nearly 50 km/h. Burnett stressed the importance of training.

“Unfortunately, most people have got some very poor riding habits and I honestly don’t think people do it on purpose. It’s because they either haven’t thought a situation through or they haven’t been shown a better way to do things,” he said. “Now you’ve got parents who never had any training teaching their youngsters how to do it and it’s kind of magnifying the mistakes that they made when they were younger.” Burnett leads one-day safety courses for 11 years and under, 12 to 15 years and 16 years and older. A parent must accompany a child under 12 taking the course and costs range between $50 and $100. “You end up teaching (parents) as much as the child,” he said. Aylsham, Sask., resident Glen Gray, director of the Saskatchewan All-Terrain Vehicle Association, has been riding AT Vs for about 20 years but signed his family up for a safety course when his teens got their first machines three

years ago. “I wanted them to have a little more experience on (the ATVs) before we got into the more challenging areas,” he said. “I learned a lot of stuff even though I was an avid ATV rider before. I’ve done lots of ATVing and I found the course very beneficial. Beneficial for the kids and for the parents.” Burnett said safety equipment must fit the rider. “I use an analogy where you don’t expect a youngster to wear Dad’s work boots so why would you expect him to wear his dad’s helmet or drive his dad’s ATV? If it doesn’t fit, then it’s not safe,” he said. He also reminds parents to make sure kids never cross roads or carry passengers, noting ATVs made for riders under 16 are not designed for more than one person. “Most of the deaths that we have are where there’s two or more people on an AT V. They’re usually under 16 and they’re crossing a road and get hit by a vehicle,” said Burnett.

• From 2003 to 2007, an average of 179 Canadians died each year from ATV-related trauma. Almost 40 percent were under 20 years old. For more on ATV safety courses: • www.satva.ca • www.preventioninstitute.sk.ca/ child-injury-prevention. • www.cps.ca/documents/position/ preventing-injury-from-atvs

RIDE SAFE Recommendations for ATV use from the Saskatchewan Prevention Institute • Wear an approved helmet certified by DOT or Snell for use on an ATV. • Take approved ATV training. • Wear safety gear, including eye protection and protective clothing such as gloves, long pants and boots. • Never ride under the influence of drugs or alcohol. • Never carry passengers or ride as a passenger on ATVs designed for one rider.

LOOKING BACK | CHURCH

Chapel bells ring no more Heritage property | St. Michael’s All Angels Anglican Church has a long history in region BY SHIRLEY COLLINGRIDGE FREELANCE WRITER

QUILL LAKE, Sask. — A centuryold church serves as a monument to the perseverance and pioneering spirit of this east-central Saskatchewan community. Violet Gardiner, custodian and former parishioner, is saddened by its recent decline. As one of two Anglicans left in the village, church repairs came to a halt due to the pair’s advancing ages. The community’s oldest building was named a municipal heritage property in 2000. The Gothic Revival inspired wood frame church began life in 1907 as the Quill Lake Methodist Church. Without funds to complete the building, the congregation met in the basement inside its fieldstone foundation. When the Quill Lake Wesley United Church bought the property in 1913, it erected the building. Church services continued for more than a half century until ownership passed to St. Michael’s All Angels Anglican Church in 1967. Today, rickety railings, rotting, collapsed steps, peeling paint and missing shingles seal the building’s fate. In the anteroom, even the tower’s base is splintered. Inside, wintry sunbeams stream through arched windows, lighting a blank hymnal board and vacant pulpit and warming polished, empty pews. Elida Pearl Gardiner was the first person baptized here on Sept. 23, 1914. Donald Leitch was ordained in July 13, 1959. Other highlights included the arrival of a mouse free organ. In its heyday, the church housed Explorers and vacation Bible school,

weddings, funerals and bazaars. “Many a tea and many a bazaar in that basement,” said Gardiner. “My grandsons were choirboys and all my grandchildren were baptized in that font.” After the church closed, her family hauled the font 19 kilometres to an Anglican church at Watson for her great-grandsons’ baptism, she said. She cited a plaque honouring Kenneth and Betty Winters whose family donated the altar cloth and frontals

and the baptismal font donated by Bert Runet’s family. An honour board on the north wall memorializes people who had funerals or made donations to the church. “That’s how they got the red carpet,” Gardiner said. A maple tree towering above the north windows sheltered the church from many hailstorms, she said. “This organ comes from St. Mary’s at Clair and that is an oldie. I am sure they’d be 100 years old. The piano

was donated,” she said. As the congregation dwindled, power and gas became unaffordable, forcing a change of venue. In 2006, Gardiner began hosting services in her home, with Mary Gavin officiating. That signalled the end of an era for the little church. It would reopen one final time on Aug. 15, 2009, for the marriage of Gardiner’s granddaughter, Deanna. She and her husband, Brett Strunk,

expected to marry on the family farm but April showers prevented it. “A group of us got busy and cleaned the church and had it all spit and polished. There was no power. We had coal oil lamps and candles. With the flowers, it was just beautiful.” Gardiner and fellow Anglican Joyce Tait now attend services in Watson. Today the church in Quill Lake is a sanctuary for flocks of sparrows that seek shelter from winter’s chill in the tower.

cleaners work the best to destroy germs?

A: CLARE ROWSON, MD

As flu, colds and noroviruses make the rounds, what do you think is the best way to disinfect your hands? Which antiseptics and hand

Frequent hand washing is still considered one of the best methods for protecting yourself. The problem is that most people do not wash thoroughly enough or long enough or they do not use hot water and soap. School teachers suggest that young children recite the ABC song while they are washing their hands to gauge the correct length of time. For adults, some people have suggested singing the chorus of Neil

Diamond’s Sweet Caroline or reciting the first six lines of Lady MacBeth’s “out, damned spot.” They all last approximately 25 seconds. James Scott, who works at St. Michael’s Hospital and the Hospital for Sick Kids in Toronto, admits that he used to be skeptical about the efficacy of hand sanitizers but now says that he is a convert and believes they are more effective than simple hand washing. A hand sanitizer contains 70 percent isopropyl alcohol with a little water, which helps it soak into the skin. It also contains skin softeners,

which make it less damaging to the skin than repeated hand washing. The hand cleanser kills both bacteria and viruses by weakening and damaging the cell membranes and outer layers of the bugs. Cleaning hard surfaces to control bacteria and viruses requires the more powerful disinfectants such as Chlorox or Lysol. Never mix any of these substances because toxic fumes can be emitted. Harmful bugs are capable of living on hard surfaces such as stainless steel and the enamel of bath tubs for several days. Recent research has

shown that copper and copper alloys with nickel and zinc, bronze or brass have antimicrobial properties. Surfaces made with these metals are good at getting rid of staphylococci, including the drug resistant superbug MRSA in addition to E. coli, flu viruses, C. difficile and fungi. Years ago, people appeared to know that this helped control infectious diseases, even before they knew of the existence of bacteria and viruses. Copper pots were used for cooking and brass was used for doorknobs and push plates.

BY SUSAN HODGES FREELANCE WRITER

EDGERTON, Alta. — An Alberta brewery has set out to make good beer and invest in its rural community. Chris Frazer of Kelow na, Cal Hawkes of Edmonton and Alvin Gordon have been friends since Grade 1, while Gordon’s longtime friend Don Parè grew up on a family farm in Chauvin. All are partners in Ribstone Creek Brewery. “Chris, Cal and I all moved away and then I moved back to the area after 30 years. I had bought a building in town about 10 years ago and started talking to the others about what we could produce in the building that would help rejuvenate the community and area of Edgerton,” said Gordon. The brewery required the partners to work together and invest about $1 million. Gordon said each individual brings his strength to the business, which began with feasibility studies. “We could have started a little factory making tables or something like that but there is no pizzazz to that. We wanted to do something that would draw attention to the community and not just necessarily Edgerton but the entire area. “So this seemed to fit and because there is lots of good water and I had the building. We know people in Edmonton who pay upwards of $20,000 a month for rent for their breweries and we don’t,” said Gordon, noting they had previously produced their beer in Edmonton. With kegs of Ribstone Creek Lager now in 20 locations across Alberta and a silver medal for best domestic lager from the Calgary International Beerfest, Gordon said the partners are now focused on providing public tours of the brewery. Anthony Richardson, the in house brewmaster, said the beer has a crisp, clean taste based on a German lager. “This beer appeals to a large segment of (the) population as it is very easy drinking. Edgerton’s water is ex-tremely unique so it would be very difficult to copy the taste of this beer,” said Richardson, who works under head brewmaster David Beardsell, who designed the brewery’s equipment and layout. The beer does not use preservatives, said Gordon, who noted how consumers are increasingly concerned about what they consume. “We liked the taste of the beer better preservative free. The shelf life on our

beer is six months, which is fine as we don’t have product sitting on shelves as we brew for the demand that we have,” he said. Currently, the company produces one type of lager and ships about 20 kegs per month. Gordon said they expect to introduce two new types of beer this year, with a few specialty beers with fruit flavours. They plan to increase production to 40 kegs each month from 20 and introduce a canned product. “What we think is important is that we have a beer that is drinkable by most people and that it is consistent. We want people to trust that they will always get the same product.” Last summer, the business took its product to local golf tournaments, bull riding events and chuck wagon races. “People are more open to our product once they find out we are from a rural area,” said Gordon. “That is where we see our fit in these types of local events. “We hope to inspire. Maybe they will see that if we can do it then others can do it as well and we can bring more and more activity to the area.”

ayer cakes conjure images of towering red velvet or chocolate. The art of scratch cooking seems to have gone by the wayside as we celebrate our special occasions with a slab cake from the grocery store. But there is something about a layer cake that makes a person smile at a birthday, retirement or wedding. Make one for your next special occasion. Be sure to properly prepare your cake pans. First, butter and dust with flour, then shake out the excess. I also line the bottom with a circle of parchment paper for easier removal of baked cake. If the layers are not uniform after baking, trim them. For a four layer cake, bake two cakes and cut each in half horizontally. You can bake cake layers in advance and triple wrap in plastic and freeze for use weeks later. Lemon or orange curd keeps especially well in the fridge for a week or longer. Some frostings keep well, especially cream cheese frosting. Most finished cakes will keep well in a fridge for at least a day. Before frosting a cake, place strips of waxed paper under it to keep the cake plate clean. Remove after decorating. Apply a crumb coat, a thin layer of icing, to keep the crumbs from spoiling the final icing layer. Let dry for half an hour before applying a decorative layer of icing. I like to ice the sides first and then the top. Avoid stiff icing because it is difficult to apply. Thin by adding water a few drops at a time and whipping.

I am so proud of my husband. A couple of years ago, he signed up for our local volunteer fire department and since then he has helped countless families in so many different ways. He never talks about it but I hear great things about him from our neighbors and his buddies on the fire crew. But I worry about my husband as well. He often won’t eat or sleep properly after he comes home from a call and sometimes I have noticed that he is a little negligent with his chores about the yard.

It may be post-traumatic stress, a common disturbance for firefighting crews. In larger communities, special programs are available, designed to help those who are struggling with stress. That support is not always available to firefighters living and working in rural regions. They do not need to talk about what they have seen because that is often harmful. Recent studies suggest that the best support for post-traumatic stress comes from good, normal interpersonal relationships such as your marriage. The three dynamics that are most likely to help your husband after he comes home from a call are contact, comfort and information. He needs to know that he makes a difference in your life and that you enjoy spending time with him. Contact goes a long way to counterbalancing the feeling of helplessness that too often is prevalent when a fire has been difficult to control or when someone was injured or killed. Comfort is reassurance to your husband that at home he is safe. This is not the time to worry him about family finances or how the children are doing at school. When he gets home from a call, he needs nurturing, support and reassurance. Don’t forget that he has just left what could have been a life-threatening event. Finally, your husband may need information about the callout. Firefighters often are the last to learn of the cause and final outcome of the fire. Make sure that he has access to that information. Sometimes the outcomes of his work will be discouraging but knowing is better than not knowing. If your husband is not responding to your support and encouragement or experiencing severe symptoms, talk to your physician or mental health clinic and have him referred to counsellors trained to handle post-traumatic stress.

On Farm Research Project Yields Informative Results The Agricultural Research and Extension Council of Alberta (ARECA) has released the final report of their Precision Tools for On Farm Research Project. One of the primary objectives of the study, conducted between 2009 and 2011, was to assess the effects of agronomic inputs on crop yield related to topography. One part of the study evaluated the efficacy of TagTeam, an inoculant used on field peas. TagTeam was studied because it is an inoculant with two distinct modes of action: a nitrogen-fixing Rhizobium bacteria and the naturally occurring soil fungus Penicillium bilaii, which improves access to soil and fertilizer phosphate. ARECA used independent field-scale trials to evaluate five treatments against an untreated control sample. The treatments included a single-action (nitrogen-fixing only) Rhizobium inoculant, the same inoculant plus phosphorus fertilizer, TagTeam alone, and TagTeam with two rates of phosphorus fertilizer (5 lbs/ac and 25 lbs/ac). As shown in the graph, TagTeam displayed significantly higher yields than the nitrogen-only inoculant.

Graph #1 represents the results from three treatments: nitrogen-only inoculant (+/- 5 lbs/ac of P) and TagTeam. Graph #1: Increased pea yields1 55

Phosphate binds to other elements quickly and easily, which makes it inaccessible to crops, but the bonds can be broken by Penicillium bilaii, present in TagTeam. When these bonds break, phosphate is made available to the plant at critical times in the growing season.

The project was conducted by staff from several applied research associations and 14 participating farmers. The farmer co-operators were given the appropriate training necessary to monitor yields and report crop yield data to the project staff.

DIDSBURY, Alta. — A code of ethics hangs outside the barn door at Lone Pine Jerseys reminding people to be patient and kind to animals. The philosophy is shared among the three generations of the Haeni family who have been milking, breeding and showing Jerseys since they came to their Didsbury, Alta, farm 20 years ago. Adrian and Vreni Haeni arrived in Canada in 1993 with her parents, Kurt and Mary Louise Hanni, seeking new opportunities after both families had farmed for generations in Switzerland. Adrian’s family lived on 68 acres and milked 14 red and white Hols t e i n s. E x p a n s i o n w a s a l m o s t impossible. Vreni lived in a valley with a climate similar to that of British Columbia’s Okanagan region, where they raised beef cattle, boarded horses and grew cherries and apricots. “It was like B.C. We could grow anything,” Vreni said. “That is what I miss the most, is the fruit.” She and Adrian had met at agriculture college and while she wanted to take over the farm, she did not think Adrian would be happy raising beef and fruit. “I liked milking cows too much,” he said. Vreni’s sister lived in central Alberta, but an earlier visit while still a student didn’t convince Vreni she wanted to live on the Prairies. Nevertheless, they decided to scout out possible farms. They looked at 30 farms in Alberta and eventually made an offer on a Jersey operation named Lone Pine. Adrian’s family eventually sold the farm in Switzerland to an organic farmer who grows herbs used to make Ricola cough drops. Another of Vreni’s sisters took over the home place after the family decided to immigrate. Jerseys were a new experience, but they soon came to love the doe-eyed breed and got involved in the breed association and exhibiting cattle. The couple spoke Swiss-German but were determined to fit in so quickly learned English. “Everyone was so welcoming,” said Vreni. Adrian was told at a 1994 Jersey annual meeting to get more involved. “I was told you owe it to the breed to go and show,” he said. “The shows are Vreni’s and the boys’ department. They tell me which ones they are going to take but I still have the final say on the cows,” he said. Showing cattle was a good way for the new Canadians to meet people. As well, each of their four boys joined junior dairy programs and 4-H as they grew old enough. Adrian is a past-president of Jersey

Canada and represents dairy on the Calgary Stampede board. Their milking parlour handles 100 cows and the farm sells 45 head a year. Their herd is artificially inseminated, and bulls are often sold to Hutterite colonies.

They are producing seed stock, but the goal is to produce quality milk. They modernized when they took over the farm,changing a double three milking parlour to a double seven parlour in which cows are milked twice a day. Cow and calf comfort is critical. The cattle are kept outdoors as much as possible because the Haeni family feels it keeps the cows healthier. The cattle grow heavy coats to withstand Canadian winters. The calves are raised indoors in small groups in an open stall system so that they are better socialized and healthier. They are fed with a robotic feeder that measures their milk and the number of times they visit the feeding station. One calf visited 75 times in one day. “Jersey calves are a little bit more curious. They just love to go to the robots,” Adrian said. The family uses chopped up canola straw for bedding, which provides soft areas for cows to rest. “It has been really working great for us. Bacteria can’t grow,” he said. “It used to be something we just chopped in the field and now we use it this way and it has worked great for us.” They spread the liquid manure on their land. Adjusting to Canada’s supply management system was easy because Switzerland also has a quota system that is attached to the land. Michael, 19, Samuel, 17, Jonas, 15 and Nils, 13, started a Boer goat business in 2003. They started with Seamen dairy goats but soon learned there was a good local market for meat. They advertise through a website and word of mouth. The boys love farming as much as their parents, who both hold agriculture diplomas. The European certification program is run like an apprenticeship and includes classroom time and practical work on farms licensed to take students. “You have to be certified or you don’t get any subsidies and without subsidies you can’t survive in Switzerland,” Vreni said. They worked on a variety of farms and both appreciated the opportunity to travel. “You have to go away and learn,” she said. Added Adrian: “Sometimes you go away and come back and see it’s not so bad how we do it at home.… For trades, I can’t think of a better system,” he said.

OTTAWA FUNDS WESTERN CANADA’S OAT INDUSTRY The Prairie Oat Growers Association has received $195,000 from Western Economic Diversification Canada to help deliver a three-part exporting initiative. The largest component will bring together equine experts to raise awareness of western Canadian oats in the U.S. horse feed industry through oat research projects. The funding will support a threeyear project focused on increasing market demand for western Canadian oats. This is especially important on the Prairies, where 90 percent of Canada’s oats are produced. The funding is designed to help bring together transportation stakeholders to discuss ways to reduce transportation costs, a barrier to oat exports. The funding is also intended to help co-ordinate two trade missions to Mexico to build the international export market for oats. VEHICLE BUYERS CAUTIONED ABOUT U.S. SALES The Alberta government and the Alberta Motor Vehicle Industry Council advise consumers to research before buying a new or used vehicle from the United States. With reports of more than 230,000 vehicles damaged by flooding during Hurricane Sandy, it’s possible unscrupulous sellers and brokers may try to unload them on unsuspecting consumers. Consumers can check Transport Canada’s website at www.tc.gc.ca for a list of eligible vehicles that can be imported. Canada’s Registrar of Imported Vehicles’ website at www.riv.ca includes comprehensive information on fees, forms, and federal inspection requirements.

JAPAN TRADE | BEEF IMPORTS

Japan may open border to more U.S. beef imports Cattle up to 30 months old allowed | A 20 month maximum was imposed in 2005 after BSE was discovered in the U.S. CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — U.S. live cattle futures rallied last week, helped by news that Japan could ease U.S. beef import restrictions soon. Japan could relax import rules on U.S. beef Feb. 1 if a panel of medicine and food experts consents, a Japanese health ministry spokesperson said. The import rules were put in place eight years ago because of BSE concerns. Japan’s potential as a beef importer is supportive for the market, said Shawn Walter, president of Professional Cattle Consultants. H o w e v e r, h o w m u c h w i l l b e allowed into the country under new rules proposed by the government versus restrictions placed by individual buyers is uncertain, he said. The market may be feeding more off the prospect of tighter supplies in the coming months once the industr y works through ample numbers of cattle in the near term, he added. Investors also pointed to higher wholesale beef prices as helping Chicago Mercantile Exchange live cattle futures break a three-day losing streak. Japan is considering allowing U.S. beef imports from cattle up to 30 months old, easing a restriction in place since 2005 on what was once the biggest market for U.S. exports.

Beef import restrictions on beef from the United States could be relaxed Feb. 1 if approved by a panel of Japanese food experts. | FILE PHOTO The move, which Tokyo has been mulling since 2011 under pressure from Washington as concern over BSE ebbed, would allow U.S. exporters to regain lost market share in

the world’s second largest beef importer. “We’re due to change the import restrictions Feb. 1 if a medicine and food panel of experts gives us approv-

al,” health minister Norihisa Tamura said. The current rules permit U.S. beef imports from cattle up to 20 months old after a total ban in 2003 following

the discovery of BSE in the United States. The country’s imports of U.S. beef plunged by 60 percent to 120,000 tonnes from 2001 to 2011, with Australian suppliers the main beneficiaries in an import market worth more than $2 billion. The panel of experts was scheduled to meet Jan. 28, but it is not yet clear when the government will announce detailed regulations on U.S. beef imports. Japan’s food safety watchdog said in a report to the government in October that the risk from importing beef from cattle aged 30 months or younger from the United States, Canada, France and the Netherlands would be negligible to human health. The government has since held a series of public consultations and also held bilateral talks on how the new safety requirements would be met in the supplying countries. “We’re hoping that the label of ‘special to Japan’ will be scrapped,” said Haruhiko Kizu, a spokesperson of Yoshiro Holdings Co., a restaurant chain operator that continues to use U.S. beef. “If the age limit is raised to 30 months, that would pave the way for importing beef from cattle aged around 20 months, which we consider the best in quality,” Kizu said.

Beware Sclerotinia, ‘The Pirate of the Prairies.’

If you thought you had seen the last of sclerotinia, you’re dead wrong. Your old foe will be back again this season to plunder your profits and turn your canola crop into a battlefield. Give no quarter. Factoring an application of Proline® fungicide into your cropping plans will effectively reduce infection rates by up to 80% and keep sclerotinia from stealing your golden treasure.

2012 was the inaugural year for the annual Sask Equine Expo at Prairieland Park. Crowds during the event were enthusiastic and knowledgeable, enjoying the variety of events presented throughout the weekend. It was evident given the number of attendees that Saskatchewan was ready for an event specifically focused on the equine industry. Plans are in place for the 2013 presentation of Saskatchewan Equine Expo. This three day weekend event will present equine related lectures, presentations, demonstrations, entertainment, competitions and opportunities focusing on the equine industry. Whether participants and spectators are amateurs or professionals, they will experience the newest equine products, techniques, and services. New to the Expo will be Canada’s Ultimate Cow Horse Competition. This 3-day competition will include reined work, herd work, fence work, and will be one of the features of the two evening Equine Extravaganza performances. One of the most popular spectator events last year was the Trainer Challenge, and Dale Clearwater from Hanley, SK will return to defend his 2012 title. He will compete against Clint Christiansen from Bracken, SK and Jesse Lussier from Ste. Rose du Lac, MB. The audience will be captivated by the horsemanship skills of these professional trainers.

Due to the overwhelming success of the evening Equine Extravaganza in 2012, an additional performance will be added on Friday evening. Both the Friday and Saturday performances will feature the Parade of Breeds, an exhibition performance by Paul Dufresne, the fence work component of Canada’s Ultimate Cow Horse Competition and a demonstration by the Miniature Horse Association. A new feature of the weekend will be a guided tour of the Ryan/Dubé Equine Performance Centre at the University of Saskatchewan. Tour will include information and sessions involving some or all of the following: • high-speed treadmill and a computerized force plate system • paved indoor runway • permanent longeing arena • multi-purpose area with two semi-permanent restraint stocks • equine MRI and a diagnostic scope • farrier’s area Pre-registration is required and a limited number will be accepted.

Clinician Paul Dufresne will provide a hands-on clinic, where participants will learn to use natural horsemanship, classical riding skills, operant conditioning techniques, creativity and fun to improve the partnership between horse and owner. The Sask Hunter Jumper Assoc. will be demonstrating the skills involved with presenting a power and speed event. This class has two distinct phases which run together without any interruptions. The horse and rider are challenged to seven to nine jumping obstacles, then they continue to the Speed phase. The horse/rider combination with the least number of faults and fastest time wins the class. The Ultimate Horsemanship Challenge Club was formed in April 2012. Horsemanship Challenge is a competition based on horsemanship - where riders navigate through a designated pattern of obstacles, displaying their ability to complete the course in partnership with their horse. These challenges are for ALL ages, youth to seniors, from beginner riders to advanced riders, and ALL disciplines. The AMHA Miniature Horse is one of the most interesting and unique equine in existence.

BLACK DIAMOND, Alta. — When Susan Raby-Dunne decided to write the story behind the famous war poem In Flanders Fields, her instincts were to tell the tale from the viewpoint of the poet’s horse. The First World War poem was written on the battlefield in 1915 by major John McCrae, a Canadian soldier, doctor and poet, as horses and men died around him, succumbing to bombs and poison gas. In researching the story, RabyDunne noted that McCrae’s diaries frequently mentioned his chestnut horse, Bonfire, an Irish Hunter. McCrae and the steed were inseparable, and when McCrae wrote letters home to nieces and nephews in Winnipeg, he would write them as if Bonfire had written them, signing them with the horse’s hoof print. Reading these letters confirmed that McCrae would approve of his story being written through the eyes of Bonfire, said Raby-Dunne, who once raised Andalusians and Warmbloods on her ranch near Black Diamond, Alta. Bonfire: The Chestnut Gentleman was released in November and has become a bestseller. Raby-Dunne is now developing a screenplay. She was drawn to the poem as an avid enthusiast of military history “When I read a hand-written copy, I broke into tears. It was like I recognized it.” Raby-Dunne said most people are unaware that McCrae was a Canadian, born in Guelph, Ont., in 1872. In 1894, he was a resident master in English and mathematics at the Ontario Agricultural College. Raby-Dunne is planning a crosscountry motorcycle trip in April to promote the book and intends to arrive at McCrae House in Guelph, Ont., to celebrate the poem’s May 3 anniversary. McCrae wrote the poem during the second battle of Ypres in West Flanders, Belgium. The soldier had a way with animals, and Bonfire’s humorous antics, such as removing McCrae’s hat and giving slurpy kisses, were a welcome relief to the horrors of war. Soldiers and horses were bombed and gassed with chlorine amid whining artillery shells. “There was nothing I hated more than the horse scream,” McCrae said. “It made you want to kiss their dear old noses and assure them of a peaceful pasture once more.” McCrae did his best to improve conditions for the war horses, which had to scrounge for food and stand up to their hocks in mud. The soggy terrain rotted their hoofs, and they had no protection against the driving rain and icy wind

that blew across England’s Salisbury Plain. McCrae was frustrated with rules that forbid picketing horses in the nearby woods. The British didn’t want the fox habitat ruined because of their love of hunting the animals. By the time the rule was dropped, hundreds of horses had died from hoof root, pneumonia and exposure. Raby-Dunne spent seven years researching the book, combing the national archives in Ottawa and personal papers in the John McCrae House in Guelph. “This is the beating heart behind the story of In Flanders Fields,” she said. She also flew overseas to walk the battlefields at Ypres and Passchendaele, covering the same ground travelled by McCrae and the 1st Brigade Canadian Field Artillery. She visited the hospital where he tended the wounded and stood at his graveside at Wimereux on the French coast. However, it wasn’t on the battlefields where she felt his presence. “It was the valley where he rode Bonfire along the hedges. Hundreds of birds were singing, there is a gurgling stream and it’s where the blackberry bushes are that Bonfire would eat by the pint,” she said. “It was so beautiful.” Comparisons can be made between Bonfire and Michael Morpurgo’s book, War Horse, which was made into a movie in 2011. Both document the horrendous conditions horses faced on the battlefields, many blown up as in the case of Bonfire’s pen mate. Raby-Dunne refused to read War Horse because she did not want it to influence her writing. As a child, she read Anna Sewell’s Black Beauty, an 1877 novel that brought attention to the abuse of horses during the Industrial Revolution. The book, which was told in the voice of Beauty, left its mark on Raby-Dunne, a horse-crazy girl who paid 50 cents for an hour’s ride at the Pony Palace, once an open field but now a shopping plaza in southwest Calgary. At 14, she received a $75 loan from her father to buy a black and white paint called Chief. She nicknamed him Ghost because of his two blue eyes. They shared many trails, often swimming in the Elbow River that runs through Calgary. Readers will recognize Chief in her book as the “Alberta cayuse” called Ghost that dies of hoof rot. Raby-Dunne’s book is creative non-fiction, based on actual events and characters. Some of the people are composites and she took artistic licence in creating some details. Her experience as a rider comes through in her details about how Bonfire appreciates a rider with a calm

voice, soft hands and gentle leg cues. “I wasn’t the greatest rider, but I was fearless,” said Raby-Dunne, who moved to her farm near Black Diamond in 1997. Bonfire is a touching story. When McCrae died in hospital from pneumonia in 1918, it is said that Bonfire nickered in his stall at 1:30 a.m., the exact time his owner died. At his funeral, Bonfire led the procession with his master’s boots reversed in the stirrups. No one knows for sure what happened to Bonfire after McCrae’s death. His fate is a mystery that keeps RabyDunne searching for the answer. “Someone knows. I hope to find out.”

Provincial, federal cost share | Saskatchewan ag minister says investment will help meet ag goals BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The federal and Saskatchewan governments are contributing $3.4 million to 23 livestock and forage research projects in the province. Sixty percent of the money is from Ottawa and 40 percent from the province. Federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz, who made the announcement at the Saskatchewan Beef Industry Conference in Saskatoon Jan. 23 with Saskatchewan agriculture minister Lyle Stewart, said innovation and research continue to be fundamental tools that allow producers to expand their businesses and help meet a rising global demand for protein. “You are what you eat, especially when it comes to the livestock sector,” he said. “So to come up with new and better

That’s a good return.” Stewart said a strong and expanding livestock and forage industry is critical to achieving provincial goals

in farm production and exports. “Investing in research will allow us to reach the ambitious goals we have set for the agriculture industry in this province,” he said. Stewart said DNA testing for cattle is becoming increasingly important. It is one of the projects to receive funding. “I think we lead the world in breeding cattle in this province and hence the large number of foreign buyers at shows like Agribition to see our genetics,” he said. “It’s a huge win for the livestock industry, both in terms of better feed products and in many cases more economic ones.” Livestock and forage projects receiving funding this year include: • New forage barley for beef and dairy producers. • Development of oral and needlefree vaccines for calves.

Use of the oil by a French baby formula maker may convince U.S. formula makers to follow suit BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

There is a brand new market for canola oil in the United States. The oil has received generally recognized as safe (GRAS) status by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for use as an ingredient in infant formula. “It’s exciting that the heart health benefits of canola oil are no longer just limited to adults,” said Angela Dansby, communications manager with CanolaInfo. The U.S. accounts for 30 percent of the global market for infant formula, with annual sales of $3.5 billion. “It’s a big market,” Dansby said. The GRAS status was sought and achieved by Danone, a French food company that wants to use canola oil in its formula because it has high levels of alpha-linolenic acid, an omega 3 fatty acid that aids in infant growth and development. Danone isn’t a major player in the U.S. market, which is 90 percent controlled by Mead Johnson Nutrition Co., Abbot Laboratories and Nestle. “I don’t think we’re going to see any huge impacts right away, but it definitely sets the stage for other infant formula manufacturers to use canola oil in their products,” said Dansby. If the major players follow Danone’s lead, it could have a significant impact on U.S. canola oil sales. Danone plans to use canola oil in combination with other oil in its infant formula. It will comprise 17.5 to 31 percent of the fat blend in its products. At that inclusion rate, babies who drink Danone’s formula will be consuming 5.7 to 10.2 grams of canola oil a day. Canola oil sales could spike if other formula manufacturers follow suit because there are a lot of babies in the U.S. “There certainly is potential for that to make an impact on total consumption in the U.S.,” Dansby said. “Initially, I think it’s going to be sort of a ripple and then we’ll see what happens as far as other infant formula makers go.” Danone and other formula manufacturers must make a submission to the FDA notifying it of their intention to market formula containing canola oil at least 90 days before the product hits store shelves.

PULSES | MARKET COMPETITION

Black Sea exporters threaten Canadian pulse markets BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Russia poses the biggest threat to Canadian pulse exports out of any of the former Soviet Union countries, says a grain market analyst. The country raised eyebrows in 2011 when it exported more than 450,000 tonnes of peas and 100,000 tonnes of chickpeas, up from 150,000 tonnes of peas and 15,000 tonnes of chickpeas the previous year. The export surge was in response t o t h e 2 0 0 9 - 1 0 Ru s s i a n w h e at embargo that kept Russian wheat prices below the world price and pushed growers into alternative crops such as pulses. Russia ships most of its pulses to the European Union, Turkey and India. Pulse Canada hired Marlene Boersch, founding partner of Mercantile Consulting Venture Inc., to assess the marketing threat posed by Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan. She thinks Russia is the country to watch, at least in the short term. It could easily double or triple its pulse expor ts, which have averaged 350,000 tonnes over the past three years. “I think Russia is a threat,” she said in an interview following her Pulse Days presentation. “If you displace 100,000 tonnes of our pea exports into India, it does matter to us and it matters in terms of price.” Russia recently displaced Canada as the world’s third largest exporter of wheat, shipping 21 million tonnes in 2011. When exports from Ukraine and Kazakhstan are included, the Black Sea region accounted for 30 percent of wheat exports in 2011, up from five percent in 2000. “I can still remember working for Cargill in the 1980s. We were a major exporter of wheat into Russia,” Boersch told growers attending the Crop Production Week event. However, competition from other crops could hold back the expansion of Russia’s pulse industry. Wheat, corn and oilseed demand has increased 6.3 percent, 8.9 percent and 19.4 percent, respectively, over the past five years. “What that tells us is there’s a lot of incentive for increasing acreage in some of these major crops,” said Boersch. A comparison of variable costs shows growing wheat, barley and sunflowers is cheaper than growing pulses in Russia, partly because of poor soil fertility that requires Russian farmers to fertilize nitrogen-fixing pulse crops. Corn is the only more expensive crop to plant. Pulses are also poor agronomic performers, with peas yielding 65 percent of winter wheat and 57 percent of spring wheat. Chickpeas have even worse comparative yield results. Many analysts believe Ukraine poses the biggest threat to Canadian pulse exports because of its vast tracts of agricultural land and proximity to Black Sea ports. Ukraine’s pulse exports have averaged 200,000 tonnes over the past three years, almost all of which is peas. The top market is India, followed by the EU and Pakistan. Boersch isn’t overly concerned about competition from Ukraine because pulses have a tough time

competing with winter crops in that country. A cost-of-production comparison on one large farm shows peas and lentils had negative per acre returns compared to $500 per acre margins for corn. “That’s why we’re skeptical that you’ll see a lot of increases in the Ukraine for special crops.” A similar comparison shows pulses are profitable to grow in Kazakhstan, with chickpeas more profitable than wheat, barley and rapeseed. “The problem with Kazakhstan is that it’s landlocked,” said Boersch. It costs a lot to get product to the Black Sea ports, especially since

MARLENE BOERSCH PULSE CANADA

Kazakhstan eliminated a $40 per tonne transportation subsidy last summer. As a result, pulse exports have averaged less than 10,000 tonnes annually. However, Kazakhstan could pose a serious long-term threat to Canada as the country focuses on opening southern trade routes into Afghani-

stan, Pakistan and Iran, where it could then access other markets in the Middle East. There is also a possibility that Kazakh grain could make its way into China, the one major market where Canada has a shipping advantage over Black Sea grain. In other key markets, such as India, the sailing time is 12 to 16 days longer out of Vancouver versus Novorossiysk, Russia. Boersch said Kazakhstan is not a poor country. It has plenty of oil, gas and mineral revenues that could be reinvested in infrastructure, which would make it a much bigger threat to Canada’s pulse industry. Pulse production and exports from

the Black Sea region will heavily depend on corn and wheat prices. Growers will stick to growing the major crops as long as prices stay high, but there could be trouble when they falter. Boersch said Canada should focus on reducing the costs of inland handling and transportation to port because they have been escalating in recent years, which makes Canadian crops less competitive in overseas markets. As well, Canada needs to continue focusing on improving pulse yields because it is one of the country’s main competitive advantages over Black Sea pulses.

WHEAT | PRODUCTION FORECAST

Wheat acres up, but canola will still compete for acres 2012 disappointing for canola | Although wheat prices are strong, canola profit margins are still at the top of the pack, says expert WINNIPEG (Reuters) — Canadian farmers are expected to plant the biggest wheat crop in four years this spring as high prices and disappointment with last year’s canola crop drive up its popularity. All-wheat plantings in Canada, the sixth largest producer in the world, will rise four percent to 24.7 million acres, according to a poll of 15 traders and analysts. Attractive wheat prices and the sting of lower than expected canola yields last year should drive up wheat acres and trim canola acres from last year’s record high, said Bruce Bur-

nett, weather and crop specialist at CWB. “I think the strong cereal prices, plus the agronomic factors, are going to push people into more wheat this year,” Burnett said. “What farmers are looking at is, ‘if yields aren’t going to be guaranteed on canola, which last year taught everybody the lesson on that, then I’m going to have to look at other crops.” Dry conditions in the U.S. winter wheat growing belt have kept wheat prices well above year-earlier levels. Farmers will plant 19.7 million

acres of canola, the survey found, which would be a drop of 8.5 percent from last year but still the secondlargest planting on record. Canada is the world’s biggest producer and exporter of canola. Manitoba farmers are also expected to continue their rapid expansion of soybean acres, which would likely snatch land away from rival oilseed canola, Burnett said. Analyst Chuck Penner of LeftField Commodity Research said canola will be more popular than some think, and the country isn’t likely to be quite so awash in wheat.

“I’m not convinced of that yet. The numbers show that canola margins are still close to the top of the pack, so I don’t know that farmers are ready to abandon it wholesale.” Canola output was disappointing last year because of unfavorable mid-summer heat, just as much of the crop was at its vulnerable flowering stage, and a freak windstorm in early September that scattered swaths. The number of acres seeded in Western Canada is always subject to the amount of spring flooding. Moisture conditions are currently

mixed, with much of Saskatchewan receiving less precipitation than normal over the past three months, while Manitoba has been wetter than usual, according to the federal government’s Drought Watch website. Farmers won’t start seeding until mid- to late April, which allows time for price fluctuations and weather to change their plans. However, some farmers have already bought seed and designated some of their land for certain crops. The first Statistics Canada survey of farmer planting intentions will be published in late April.

MANURE MANAGEMENT | ALBERTA PARK

Cattle only one source of fecal contamination Geese, swallows play role | Livestock was assumed to be the source but study also found other contributors BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Lisa Tymensen likens her job to that of technicians on television’s CSI: Crime Scene Investigation who trace evidence to find criminals. She traces evidence to find out who pooped in the water. Tymensen is a water research scientist with Alberta Agriculture who was tasked with finding the source of a problem on the Writing-on-Stone Provincial Park beach. “My job with Alberta Agriculture is a little bit like a crime scene investigator. I use the same techniques but rather than try to find out who is the criminal … I use these techniques to find out the identity of animals or humans that are responsible for fecal contamination.” The park beach has had several high fecal coliform advisories in past years and the contaminants are a risk to human health. The source had to be found in order to fix the problem. Livestock was immediately suggested as the source of contamination, Tymensen told those at the Jan. 14 manure management update in Lethbridge. However, people, dogs, deer, elk, antelope, geese, swallows, wading birds, horses, sheep, pigs and chickens also frequent the potential source area along the Milk River. Tymensen and her team narrowed the field of culprits to cattle, geese and cliff swallows. Combined levels from geese and swallows were roughly equivalent to that of cattle, she said. Research also determined the existence of naturalized E. coli, which can survive and grow in the environment. “The old school of thinking is that E. coli is really a gut bacteria, it’s a good fecal indicator. It’s only been recently that we’ve started to realize that this is a bacterium that in some cases … we can actually see replication (of) in the environment.” Tymensen said this type of bacteria has also been found on beaches in the Great Lakes. Naturalized E. coli could lead to overestimation of fecal contamination in water if it is assumed to be only gut bacteria. Tymensen said cattle, geese and cliff swallows could be reservoirs for naturalized E. coli and further study is needed. Determining the source of fecal

contamination helps guide water quality improvements and protects human health.

Cattle aren’t the only potential cause of E. coli contamination in water bodies. |

FIRE IMPACTS AND STEWARDSHIP IN THE WATERSHED

The Oldman Watershed Council’s Rural Team is delighted to invite you to the 7th Annual Holding the Reins Landowners Summit, scheduled for Wednesday, February 13th, at the Fort MacLeod & District Community Hall. Holding the Reins is a much anticipated annual event that provides basin residents an opportunity to hear about rural issues and initiatives in the Oldman watershed. Presentations are given on a wide range of rural topics and landowner stewardship groups share their expertise, experiences and stories of their efforts to protect their local watershed. This year’s theme, Fire Impacts and Stewardship in the Watershed, promises an inspiring and engaging summit with presentations on the Granum, Milk River and Lost Creek wildﬁres, “Digital Stories” and local watershed and landowner stewardship group updates. The Rural Team is honored to have AB Beef Producers’ 2008 Environmental Stewardship Award recipients and Stavely-area ranchers, Glen and Kelly Hall, as Keynote Speakers. For more information and to register please visit www.oldmanbasin.org or call 403-381-5801. Please register by February 8th.

SOUTH AFRICA | RACIAL TENSION

Discontent among blacks potentially explosive Racial or robbery motive | The murder rate among South African commercial farmers is 290 per 100,000 people

RMELO, South Africa (Reuters) — In a country cursed by one of the world’s highest murder rates, being a white farmer makes a violent death an even higher risk. Whether attacks have been motivated by race or robbery, a rising death rate from rural homicides is drawing attention to the lack of change on South Africa’s farms nearly two decades after the end of apartheid — and to the tensions burgeoning over enduring racial inequality. Some of South Africa’s predominantly white commercial farmers go as far as branding the farm killings a genocide. On the other side of the divide, populists are seizing on the discontent among the black majority to demand a forced redistribution of white-owned farms along the lines of neighbouring Zimbabwe. “The issue is potentially explosive,” said Lechesa Tsenoli, deputy minister for land reform, who argues that South Africa’s future depends on ending inequality on the farms. The economic change promised by Nelson Mandela’s African National Congress when white-minority rule ended in 1994 has been even slower in the countryside than in cities and mines, where at least small elites of black South Africans have prospered. Land ownership ratios are little changed from 1913, when the Natives’ Land Act set aside 87 percent of land for whites. Meanwhile, black farm workers are among South Africa’s poorest. However, life is also getting more

uncomfortable for white farmers. Their number is down one-third in the past 15 years to 40,000, and headlines about the farm killings are another incentive to sell. While South Africa’s overall annual murder rate has more than halved since the end of apartheid to 32 people per 100,000, figures for commercial farmers show a nearly 50 percent rise to 290 per 100,000. Shot at his home by black attackers two years ago, 34-year-old Johan Scholtz believes he was the victim of a racially motivated attack rather than a robbery. “I was shot through my neck, I was shot through my chest and as I fell to the ground they came and stood over me and they shot again, two times — just missed my brain,” Scholtz said, fighting back tears as he recalled the incident. “My sheep were there around the house, they could’ve taken the sheep. My house was open, they could’ve easily gone in. But they left with nothing.” Scholtz now keeps a baseball bat by his bed at his livestock farm in Ermelo in the undulating veld 230 kilometres east of Johannesburg. He is asking himself how long he will stay in the business. Despite the ANC’s pledge to build a “rainbow nation,” South Africa’s income disparity, which had already been among the top few in the world, has widened since apartheid ended, according to World Bank figures. Among the poorest are the black farm workers, suffering not only from the economic hardship, but, all too often, a brand of racial abuse

unchanged since the end of white rule. “For farm workers at the bottom like me, we are not allowed to talk to farm owners directly,” complained one 28-year-old fruit farm worker from the northeastern Limpopo province, asking that he be called only by his first name, Frans. “The farmers disrespect us to a point they would use the K-word,” he said. The “K-word” is kaffir, apartheid-era slang for a black person and highly offensive. While wages for most workers have increased steadily since apartheid, they have risen more slowly for farm workers, who earn 10 to 30 percent of a typical factory worker’s wage. About half those in rural areas live on less than $3 a day.

nger has boiled over recently in violent strikes in the Cape Town wine region, where thousands of farm workers demand a doubling in wages from $8 a day. The motive for nearly 90 percent of farm attacks was robbery rather than race, according to the biggest government study on the subject, published nearly a decade ago. “There might be segments within the South African population that would like to use words such as genocide, but farm attacks are a result of criminal activities,” said Andre Botha of Agri SA, the largest farmers’ union, which points out that the small number of black commercial farmers are also victims of crime. “It’s an obvious result of the lifestyle that we chose. Farms are a soft

I was shot through my neck, I was shot through my chest and as I fell to the ground they came and stood over me and they shot again, two times — just missed my brain. JOHAN SCHOLTZ WHITE SOUTH AFRICAN FARMER

target,” he said. However, disentangling motives is no easy task in a society where whites have the vast majority of the wealth on display, and the history of discrimination can add another edge to attacks on isolated homesteads. “Sometimes it degenerates into racial conflict,” said Johan Burger of the Institute for Security Studies, who has been studying farm violence for more than a decade. Racial motives were suspected when white supremacist leader Eugene Terre’blanche was hacked to death by two farm workers in 2010, but it turned out to have been caused by a wage dispute. The racial discontent on the farms has also become an element in the political equation at a time of tensions over wildcat mine workers’ strikes and factional struggles within the ruling ANC. Before being told to stop by the courts, populist leader Julius Malema stirred up crowds with his singing of Shoot the Boer, deepening unease among whites in a country where the Afrikaans word for farmer

is synonymous with the people who make up most of the 10 percent white minority. Although the ANC has decided to drop the apartheid-era song after firing Malema as its youth leader, the affair has pushed race further onto the political agenda. AfriForum, a vocal advocacy group for Afrikaans speakers who descend mostly from Dutch and French settlers, blames the song in part for the rise in crimes against farmers as it catalogues murders, rapes and other attacks. “The amount of violence is horrific,” said AfriForum’s Ernst Roets. Meanwhile, Malema and the ANC’s youth wing are demanding that white-owned land be turned over to black South Africans. Zimbabwe’s experience set a good example for radicals, even though the forced land seizures helped push South Africa’s neighbour into nearly a decade of economic decline. A plan drawn up under Mandela was to hand over 30 percent of farmland to black South Africans by 2014. However, only eight percent has been transferred, and the government is reviewing the plan. The direct economic impact of a radical change in land ownership might be less dramatic in South Africa than in Zimbabwe because farming accounts for only three percent of gross domestic product rather than 20 percent. But no matter how it is addressed, the potential for growing confrontation over race and land raises another dangerous prospect for Africa’s biggest economy.

SASKATOON | U OF S LAND

Land leasing won’t hurt ag research University of Saskatchewan | Land leased for commercial and residential development will offset budget shortfall BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A University of Saskatchewan initiative to lease hundreds of acres of land it owns in Saskatoon shouldn’t disrupt its agricultural research, say school officials. They also say the move isn’t related to a budget shortfall at the university totalling tens of millions of dollars. The U of S has identified more than 900 acres of land suitable for commercial and residential development as part of a 50-year plan developed in 2007. The university is already working to rezone some of the land, although none of the projects currently underway require its crop, horticultural and animal science operations to consolidate or move. Greg Fowler, the university’s acting vice-president for finance and resources, said some operations could eventually move outside the city. The university already owns 4,000 acres of land outside of city limits, has bought a small parcel of near Clavet, Sask., and has identified a need to purchase more. “It’s basically a win-win because the university also begins to realize the economic value of the land, so it comes back into the university and supports the mission,” he said. “It’s also an understanding, of course, that agriculture is a very important priority for the university.” The university announced in January that it will conduct a review that will rank all of its departments and services, seeking efficiency improvements and cuts as a result of a projected budget shortfall of $44.5 million by 2016. The university announced 40 layoffs in January with more to come in the spring. “There may be some agriculture activities we’d move outside the city limits … but what I would say is that there is little connection to our current budget process because all of the options we’re looking at would take more than four years to bring on stream,” said Brett Fairbairn, university provost and vice-president for academics. “We’re not looking to sell anything or get a quick return.” He said the shortfall is the result of rising salary and pension costs and the Saskatchewan government offering only limited funding. The program review will be conducted this year with task forces making recommendations for elimination, reduction and amalgamations. Changes to academic programs won’t be made right away. The agriculture college and the Western College of Veterinary Medicine will be included in the review. Agriculture dean Mary Buhr said earlier this year that the college wasn’t affected by the first round of job cuts. “I can’t tell you if we will be or won’t be in the future,” she said. The WCVM receives funding from

all four western provinces. “We won’t ignore those factors when we’re looking at the programs,” said Fairbairn. “We will rank everything according to the same criteria and I can’t predict precisely how that will turn out, but I am confident that the strategic importance and history of those programs will be taken into account.”

The University of Saskatchewan conducts agricultural research both inside and outside Saskatoon city limits. Some of the work may move in the future. | FILE PHOTO
