Time to ’fess up: organics have GMOs ‘No such thing as zero’ | Expert says honest conversation needed with consumers about what organic means — and doesn’t BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Despite public perceptions that organic products are GM free, organic food made from corn, soybeans, canola and sugar contains GMOs. | organic farmers don’t test their seed for GMO before planting, despite the reality that certified organic seed probably contains traces of GMOs. Maureen Fitzpatrick, a member of

Big Carrot, an organic food market in Toronto, said the basic problem in Canada and the United States is that organic farmers grow crops on a landscape saturated with GM plants.

“We live in a polluted world, and unfortunately genetic contamination is part of that picture,” said Fitzpatrick, who also spoke at the conference. SEE ORGANIC, PAGE 2

Better BSE status would give U.S. competitive edge over Canada BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Health (OIE) considers Canada and the U.S. to be “controlled BSE risk” countries. However, the U.S. has met one of the main requirements to move into the “negligible BSE risk” category, which means the latest birth date for its positive BSE animals is greater than 11 years ago.

The earliest Canada can be considered for negligible BSE risk status is 2016 because two of its BSE positive cases were born in 2004. “In all likelihood, the U.S. may qualify ahead of Canada,” said Noel Murray, senior adviser for risk management with the CFIA. He said it could happen this year or

next, and when it does the U.S. could gain a competitive advantage in its efforts to garner further access to Asian markets. Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and China import beef from Canadian and U.S. animals only if they are younger than 30 months old. SEE BETTER STATUS, PAGE 2

GUELPH, Ont. — Leaders in North America’s organic movement say it’s time to tell consumers that organic food does contain genetically modified organisms. Speaking at the Guelph Organic Conference in early February, Dag Falck, organic program manager with Nature’s Path, one of the largest manufacturers of organic breakfast cereals and snack bars in North America, said the organic movement has to have an honest conversation with the public about GMOs. Despite public perceptions that organic products are GM free, Falck said organic food made from corn, soybeans, canola and sugar definitely contain GMOs. “If you are going to stop eating all those things, you will be able to be GMO free,” Falck told the organic conference at the University of Guelph. “But if you eat any of those products, and all of us do, you cannot. It doesn’t matter how philosophically pure you want to be, it isn’t going to happen…. There is no such thing as zero percent of anything.” He said organic cereals and other foods contain GMOs because of cross-pollination between conventional and organic fields. As well, most

Organics have GMOs Falck said no one knows the level of contamination in organic crops because testing for GMOs after harvest isn’t a requirement for organic certification. As a result, an organic cereal bar might contain 0.5 percent or five percent GM grain, even though many consumers assume organic certification means no GMOs. Fitzpatrick said consumer surveys indicate that 79 percent of organic consumers would stop buying organic food if it contained GMOs, which is why the organic industry must come clean with consumers before it’s too late. “We must acknowledge as a sector that there is a gap between what the consumer expects and what our standard requires,” she said. “If we are seen to be looking away from these potentially difficult questions and allowing the perception of

zero tolerance (of GMOs) to flourish… we will not regain that consumer confidence.” Falck said not everyone in the organic industry is convinced that honesty is the best policy. “There is a lot of fear of broaching that conversation,” he said. “If we burst their (the public) bubble and we say that’s not true, some people are afraid that this will cause a backlash.” However, the billion dollar question is how to begin the conversation with consumers so that they understand organic food isn’t 100 percent free of GMOs. Falck admitted it will be a difficult task, but organic growers, processors and retailers can’t bury their heads in the sand. “If you don’t speak about it, the problem doesn’t go away.” FOR RELATED STORY, SEE PAGE 4

U.S. may get better status: panel join the list over the next year or two as well as some European countries. He said it is important for Canada to continue to strive to get on that list. “There is enough (competitive) challenges as it is without being constrained by the legacy of BSE. So in my mind, it would be important to work towards achieving negligible BSE status,” said Murray. One of the keys for getting on that list is for Canada to show the world that it is serious about maintaining a robust BSE surveillance program. Murray said there have been some concerning developments in that regard. During its peak in 2006 and 2007, Canada’s surveillance program was testing 55,000 cattle a year for BSE. Last year the program sampled less than half that amount. Sampling has dropped below the target of 30,000 animals per year. Murray said the precipitous decline in BSE testing hasn’t reached “mission critical” status but it has become a worrisome development. “We need to nip it in the bud,” he said. If the numbers continue to slide, it will put Canada in a difficult position with its trading partners. “We could say we haven’t had any BSE cases, but then the accusation would be ‘you’re not looking’,” said Murray. A working group called CanSurvBSE has been established to ensure that doesn’t happen. It will start tackling the issue of declining surveillance testing in the next week or so.

Murray said the U.S. would have better odds of expanding access beyond those age limitations if it receives negligible BSE risk status. Dennis Laycraft, executive vicepresident of the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association, agreed that Canada could face stiffer competition into Asian markets if that happens. However, he said Canada shipped 813,770 head of cattle into the U.S. in 2012 and is its largest supplier of beef products, so it wouldn’t be all bad news. He also said the U.S. has been refused negligible BSE risk status for a number of years in a row, so there is no guarantee it will happen this year. Even if it does occur, many key importers don’t recognize the OIE’s BSE risk classifications. For instance, Japan considers Mexico to be a negligible risk country because it has never had a case of BSE, yet the OIE classifies Mexico as controlled risk country. Another example is Brazil, which was recently blacklisted by a number of importers after the December 2012 discovery of an atypical BSE case despite maintaining its OIE rating as a negligible risk country. Laycraft said market access has a lot more to do with politics than international rating systems. “What happens, as you just saw in Brazil’s case, is you get thrown in the penalty box for doing the right thing,” he said. Other key competitors, such as Argentina, Australia and New Zealand, have achieved negligible BSE risk status. Murray expects Japan will

LEADING THE WAY AT THE PARADE

Wheat growers need new varieties BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

EDMONTON — It will be a few years before Alberta farmers can produce big wheat yields because the province’s varieties stink, says an Ontario cereal specialist. “Western Canada has the least genetic progress of any wheat in the world,” said Peter Johnson, a cereal specialist with Ontario’s agriculture ministry. Wheat acres will stagnate until western Canadian farmers and breeders dump varieties focusing on quality and move to high-yielding varieties, he added. “To heck with quality. Get with the program. Grow bushels and it really will make a difference,” Johnson told packed sessions at FarmTech 2013. In Ontario, corn yielding 200 bushels per acre is pushing wheat out of the rotation. “If we can’t make massive increases in wheat yields, they will quit growing it,” said Johnson, who has focused on increasing wheat yields in Ontario over the past few years. Wheat yields in Ontario have increased by at least one bushel per acre per year, boosting production in that province to 950,000 acres from 550,000 to 650,000 acres in 2002. Some fields are reaching 188 bushels per acre. “I challenge you to do same with Alberta wheat varieties.” He said Ontario producers are boosting wheat yields using winter wheat varieties rather than spring wheat varieties. He also said producers in that province have learned important lessons: • Start with effective herbicides. • Use semi-dwarf varieties with proper genetics. • Use effective fungicides. • Don’t be afraid to use high rates of nitrogen, at least 150 pounds per acre. Johnson said fungicides are key to helping plants use nitrogen by keeping them healthy until they can set seed. He also said farmers who want to increase yields need to focus on the basics using fungicides, good genetics and nitrogen fertilizer. “Forget about chasing the wonder dust because it doesn’t work,” said Johnson, referring to gimmicks that provide only minor yield boosts. “Put the focus back on the basics (nitrogen and fungicides).… That is where you have to go to move the bar forward.” Johnson recommended farmers apply fungicide as late as possible to achieve the highest yield increase. Alberta farmers won’t achieve the same yields with hard red spring wheat as Ontario farmers do with winter wheat, but Johnson said the same basic rules of good genetics, high nitrogen and fungicide apply. Other keys to producing high wheat yields are: • Ensuring a uniform job of spreading combine residue. • Seed wheat early to allow wheat to take advantage of long summer growing days. • Use seed treatment. • Seed an even one-inch depth. • Use a narrow row spacing.

SASKATCHEWAN CATTLEMEN’S ASSOCIATION | ANNUAL MEETING

Pasture patrons fail to sway at SCA Community pastures | Cattlemen’s association won’t back new community pasture lobby effort BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Some federal pasture patrons came away frustrated from the recent Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association annual meeting. Only one of three resolutions they put on the floor during the meeting was passed, and the chair of the new Community Pasture Patron’s Association of Saskatchewan says the challenge ahead is to bring attention to all the issues surrounding the pastures. “ There are questions that we haven’t even started to discuss yet,” Ian McCreary said in an interview. The new association, formed the day before the SCA’s annual meeting, received support for its immediate goal of delaying the transfer of the first 10 pastures for another year. However, it wasn’t as successful with its main resolution , which had been presented at SCA district meetings last fall and passed in three districts. The association wants the SCA to

lobby the province to retain ownership of the pastures once Ottawa hands them over and to help develop a lands management structure that ensures the pastures continue to serve local producers and communities. It also said the pastures should operate on a cost covered basis. Joanne Brochu, a pasture patron who drafted the resolution and helped organize the patrons association, said she had done her due diligence. “It was overwhelmingly easy to recognize that the dissolution of the pasture system could be very detrimental to our livestock industry if we do not get involved, if we do not have representation by patrons and all stakeholders at the table,” she told the SCA meeting Jan. 23 in Saskatoon. “We need to get to that table, and SCA is our provincially recognized group to represent us at that table.” She said the future pasture system must be similar to the current one. However, SCA chair Mark Elford said the province has already said it won’t operate the pastures, and a

resolution calling for that to change “flies in the face of what the minister and cabinet has said they are not going to do.” He amended the resolution to say the province should transfer ownership and management to the patrons, along with the opportunity to lease. The amended resolution passed. A third resolution asking the SCA to recognize, support and work with the new association was also lost. McCreary said it’s clear there is a “challenge of understanding” among cattle producers regarding the pastures. “There were those there who said they were worried about signing onto our mandate because they didn’t know what our mandate was,” he said. “There’s a tremendous amount of misunderstanding out there yet. I think there’s still some that think, ‘gee whiz, if they just sold them, then I’d be the one that got them.’ ” Instead, the government’s decision to keep the land in complete blocks and price the land at market value

has made it impossible for many patrons to buy the pastures, he said. McCreary said if the federal government won’t agree to delay the transfer of the first 10 pastures until 2015, perhaps the province could step in with a bridging program until more issues are sorted out. The new association includes 27 pastures that were represented at a Jan. 23 organizational meeting. Seventeen other representatives agreed to go back to their patron groups with information. Each patron in the member pastures will pay a $100 membership to help the executive lobby on their behalf.

Organic label based on method, not purity Based on ‘best practices model’ | Official wants organic system to test for GM content, develop threshold BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

GUELPH, Ont. — Why don’t organic growers test their crops for GMOs, considering the proliferation of genetically modified crops in North America and the fact that many consumers assume organic food is GM free? Dag Falck, organic program manager with Nature’s Path, said it’s because organic certification isn’t based on purity standards. Unlike a claim on a jar of honey that states it contains 100 percent honey and nothing else, organic farmers adhere to certain practices to earn certification. “Organic is about doing the best we can in the world we’re living in. That’s what organic is all about…. It’s a best practices model,” he said in an interview during the Guelph Organic Conference at the University of Guelph. “The organic standard is not a purity guarantee. So nobody should be under the illusion that … if I tested this product I would find it within this parameter.” He said leaders of the organic movement decided early on to follow a best practices model rather than a purity standard, in part because contaminant levels vary by region. As an example, the amount of pesticides in organic food from California might be higher than that found i n o r ga n i c f o o d f ro m We s t e r n Canada because of the difference in background pesticides in the two regions. Maureen Fitzpatrick, a member of the Big Carrot grocery store co-op in Toronto, said there may be no guarantees of zero pesticides or zero GMOs in organic food, but the model does offer the healthiest option.

DAG FALCK NATURE’S PATH

“It is the best choice to avoid GMOs … but we don’t have a zero tolerance policy currently in the standard.” In an effort to address the reality that organic food isn’t GM free, Fitzpatrick and others in the industry are backing an initiative called the nonGMO project. It’s a certification program and label for farmers who satisfy a threshold of 0.9 percent GMO in their crops. “The project is North America’s only independent, third-party verification for non-GMO labeling,” Fitzpatrick said. “Since it first appeared on product labels in 2010, the non-GMO project seal has become one of the fastest growing labels in the natural and organic food market.” Falck wants the organic system to adopt testing for GMO content, particularly in crops such as organic corn and soybeans. “Right now, our standards could be strengthened, particularly on the point of incorporating a (GMO) threshold and a requirement for testing for the high risk ingredients,” said Falck, a director of the non-GMO project. “That’s a housecleaning we need to do so that we’re living up to the expectation that is out there.”

ANIMAL WELFARE | HOGS

Hog sector hopes new code will calm concerns New code of practice | The updated code addresses issues of housing, anesthesia and humane treatment of animals BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Most farmers want the new national code of practice for pigs to be implemented as soon as possible, farm leaders say. “A lot of the barns are in compliance already,” Hutterite hog leader James Hofer said in an interview during the Manitoba Swine Seminar. “There’s very little reason for most to change.” Hog barn operators are under intense pressure and scrutiny over allegations of animal abuse that are increasingly being thrown at the industry. Before Christmas, an episode of CTV’s W5 used hidden camera footage gathered by an animal activist group, Mercy For Animals, to paint a harsh portrait of a Puratone barn near Arborg, Man.

The activist group worked with a network of other organizations to lobby for new restrictions and regulations on hog production, using the expected outrage over practices such as “piglet thumping” to drive their demands into public attention. An expert panel that reviewed the footage found that some practices were done badly and a couple of a c t i o n s s h o u l d n o t hav e b e e n allowed. However, it generally found that the activities in the barn were acceptable, including castration without anesthesia, thumping piglets on concrete floors and the use of gestation stalls. On the other hand, most public comments suggested many people consider some of these activities to be bad, regardless of veterinary and scientific assessments of their nature.

My thought is that producers would be receptive to reasonable changes that aren’t going to put them out of business in the short term. MARK FYNN MANITOBA PORK COUNCIL

During the Manitoba Swine Seminar, a number of sessions dealt with animal welfare, public concerns and farm practices, which have become major industry issues in the past decade. Years ago, hog industry meetings such as the swine seminar would have focused almost exclusively on veterinary, feeding and economic issues, but in recent years environ-

mental and welfare issues have become equally prominent. Industry sources say the new Canadian pig code deals with some of these issues and should alleviate some of the concerns. It is scheduled to be released for public comment June 1 and is believed to be complete. Anesthesia for tail docking and castration, a move to more open housing for gestating sows and clearer rules on euthanasia methods are all addressed in the code, people involved with its development say. The new code replaces a 20-year old document that was progressive for its time but is now considered by most to be inadequate to address contemporary notions of humane treatment. The W5 expose and the activist campaign were unfor tunately timed for the industry because the

new code is still months away from implementation and the present code’s acceptance of some practices puts the official standard at odds with at least some of the public’s feelings. Manitoba Pork Council animal care specialist Mark Fynn said in an interview that farmers are willing to go along with changes in the code, as long as they are feasible. “My thought is that producers would be receptive to reasonable changes that aren’t going to put them out of business in the short term,” said Fynn, who has been involved with the code’s development. “As long as there’s a reasonable amount of time to adapt to these things, I think you will see more reception from producers.” FOR MORE FROM THE MANITOBA SWINE SEMINAR, SEE PAGE 16

Alta. farmer finds grain bags economical for fertilizer Long-term storage | Farmer can buy fertilizer when it’s less expensive BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

EDMONTON — An Alberta producer says storing high-priced fertilizer in grain bags has paid off on his farm. A lb e r t Wag n e r s a i d h e s av e d enough money buying and storing fertilizer during the off season that he paid for his grain bagger and extractor within the first two years.

He stores 600 tonnes of fertilizer in the long, white grain bags, which allows him to take advantage of lower off-season prices. He said he has never had a problem in the six years he has stored fertilizer this way. “It’s unlimited storage,” Wagner told farmers at the FarmTech 2013 conference. Wagner originally bought the grain bagger to provide an extra 100,000 bushels of grain storage on his farm

near Stony Plain. He estimated bins would have cost $2.45 a bu., while the grain bagger cost $1.64 per bu. Buying the $26,000 grain bagger and $27,000 grain extractor made economic sense when it was just intended for grain, but it made even more sense when he was able to use the grain bagger to store fertilizer. Wagner said his farm has also reduced transportation costs related to trucking grain from the field to the bin yard. “I wanted to increase efficiency in manpower and equipment. We wanted to speed up harvest.” Wagner said he has learned not to over stretch the bags, especially with fertilizer, to prevent splitting. He also said it is important to clean up grain spills to avoid attracting wildlife. “If you don’t clean up the spills, the deer will find it. If they know what is in the bag, they will go after it.” Wagner said he has stored grain with up to 19 percent moisture in the bags with no problem, but then makes sure the grain is out of the bags by March. He has also successfully stored peas, canola, wheat, barley, oats and fababeans. “It all stores fine. No problem. We prefer putting stuff in the bags rather than bins. It’s quicker and easier to clean up.”

DURUM | GRAIN IDENTIFICATION

Varietal ID test available for five durum varieties Spring wheat, malting barley may follow | The Saskatchewan Research Council developed the test to replace kernel visual distinguishability BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Efforts to develop a commercial test that can identify different wheat varieties in a bulk grain shipment are bearing fruit. Tajinder Grewal, a research scientist at the Saskatchewan Research Council’s GenServe Laboratories, said varietal ID tests are now available for five varieties of durum grown in Western Canada. The tests can identify the presence of Brigade, Navigator, Eurostar, CDC Verona or Avonlea in a bulk durum shipment. They can also determine the varietal purity of a shipment, telling handlers what percentage of the grain belongs to any one of the five selected varieties. SRC officials in Saskatoon are continuing to assess the market potential for the tests, which have been available to the industry since last fall. “We are in constant consultations with key industry stakeholders to make sure that these tests meet their technical and business needs,” Grewal said. Test results for durum are normally available within three to five days, but work is continuing to reduce

turnaround times, he added. Similar tests will soon be available for other durum varieties including Strongfield, the most popular durum variety grown in Western Canada. Plans are also in place to develop similar tests for popular western red spring (CWRS) varieties such as Lillian and Harvest. The first CWRS tests could be available within 12 to 24 months. If industry demand is sufficient, DNA tests for selected varieties of malting barley could also follow. “We’re confident that the tests we have are highly accurate and effective,” said Brendan Payne, business unit manager at GenServe Laboratories. “Now, it’s just (a matter of ) knowing how well they meet the market’s needs.” Efforts to develop varietal ID tests have been ongoing since the Canadian grain industry signalled its intention to eliminate kernel visual distinguishability (KVD) more than five years ago. At the time, industry stakeholders felt the elimination of KVD would highlight the need for new tests that could rapidly and accurately identify different crop varieties. The industry had initially hoped to develop a “driveway test” capable of

providing immediate results at elevators or other points in the grain delivery pipeline. So far, the development of a driveway test has proven difficult because of the complexity of the technologies being used. Nonetheless, the SRC’s platform could have significant market potential in Canada, specifically among producers who grow identity preserved (IP) crops and grain companies that serve value-added IP markets and supply grain to end users that have a low tolerance for varietal impurities. “When grain handlers are purchasing grain from a producer and the producer is attesting that it’s a certain percentage of a specific variety, sometimes the shippers want to

establish that with (a high degree of) confidence before they put (that grain) on a container ship with potentially huge liability,” he said. The SRC is also developing a test that can ensure grain contained in a bulk shipment belongs to a registered variety. For example, if a bulk shipment of durum is confirmed as 96 percent pure CDC Verona, the registered variety test would ensure shippers that the remaining four percent belongs to a variety that is registered for commercial production in Canada. “That test is close to being ready as well,” said Payne. Varietal ID testing is one of several commercial tests that the SRC now offers the grain industry. GenServe also performs DNA tests that can detect genetically modified material in flax shipments or the presence of the Sm1 gene in midgetolerant wheat blends. Maintaining the Sm1 gene within a prescribed range is critical to maintaining the efficacy of midge tolerant wheat varieties now available to western Canadian growers. Last year, the SRC also acquired a state-of-the-art grain quality lab in Saskatoon previously owned by CWB.

The lab, which was opened in 2011, provides a number of grain quality tests commonly used by commercial grain traders: grain grading, moisture testing, protein content, falling number tests and mycotoxin quantifications that measure fusarium vomitoxin, ochratoxin and other toxins that affect end-use quality. The lab now provides grain quality tests on a fee-for-service basis to CWB and other grain handling companies. Payne said those services, combined with GenServe’s recently commercialized varietal ID tests, put the SRC in an ideal position to serve the needs of Western Canada’s evolving grain industry. “Even though we still have a strong presence on the livestock side, where we see the blue sky (opportunities) is in the development of new valueadded crop tests,” he said. “We’re already doing GMO testing on flax, but GMO testing in wheat is going to become huge over the next several years and we think we’re well positioned to take advantage of that opportunity as well.” Funding to develop the varietal ID tests included approximately $4.3 million from Agriculture Canada’s AgriFlex program.

Corn prices for 2013-14 are on their way down to levels growers haven’t witnessed since 2010, says an agricultural commodity research and marketing firm. The ball will get rolling when old crop stocks come in way higher than the U.S. Department of Agriculture is forecasting, and it will gain momentum with a massive 2013 corn crop, said Allendale Inc. December futures could fall as low as $4.42 per bushel by summer, down from slightly less than $6 Feb. 4. “Sharp revisions in old crop demand are coming,” said Allendale’s chief strategist, Richard Nelson. The firm forecasts 873 million bu. of corn ending stocks for the 201213 crop, up 45 percent from the USDA’s January estimate of 602 million bu. Nelson expects the ending stocks number to start ratcheting up with the USDA’s Feb. 8 world agricultural supply and demand estimates report. He anticipates the February number will be 652 million bu.

corn demand. The department is forecasting a 10 percent decline in ethanol demand, but it has been down 11.4 percent year-to-date and the situation appears to be getting worse. Last week’s consumption was 18 percent below the same period a year ago.

It’s a function of declining gasoline demand and sky-high corn prices. Allendale expects ethanol, which is the biggest user of corn, will buy 4.45 billion bu. of the crop, down from the USDA’s estimate of 4.5 billion bu. E xpor ts are also over-stated, Allendale believes. The pace of exports this year is half what it was last year, yet the USDA projects full year exports will be down only onequarter below 2011-12 levels. Allendale also believes the USDA’s livestock feed use number is too high. It expects the number to drop to 4.3 billion bu., down from the USDA estimate of 4.45 billion bu. The upshot of all the adjustments in corn use will be a big increase in ending stocks compared to the USDA’s Jan. 11 bare bones estimate. “That will give us a moderately lower price by itself,” said Nelson. “(But) the real problem is actually more in new crop rather than this old crop revision.” Allendale expects a 3.3 billion bu. increase in corn supply in 2013-14. “That will be a huge problem and the majority of our bearish issues coming down the road,” said Nelson. The company forecasts 97.6 million

acres of corn in 2013, up slightly from 97.2 million in 2012. The big difference is a return to trend-line yields. Nelson said some may find the yield estimate surprising, given the expanding drought in the U.S. Midwest. However, few people realize subsoil moisture has no correlation with corn yields, he added. Yields are determined by growing season temperature and precipitation, and history has shown that yields have typically rebounded after hot and dry years. The best example is 1989, the year folowing the drought of 1988-89. Moisture maps showed significant dryness through 1989. “However, yields in that year actually broke trend. They did not just meet trend, they actually broke trend by three percent,” said Nelson. Allendale is forecasting yields this year of 157 bu. an acre, up from 123 last year. Other analysts don’t share that view. Frayne Olson, a crop economics and risk management expert with North Dakota State University, believes markets are incorrectly predicting abundant corn yields in 2013.

“We don’t have the soil moisture reserves to carry us through,” he said. “We’re going to be living rain shower to rain shower.” Nelson disagrees and is convinced yields will rebound, driving the December 2013 corn futures price down to $4.42 at some point during the summer. That will have a ripple effect on many other crops. Wheat has been artificially supported by corn to the tune of about $2 per bu., despite abundant supplies of the crop. “Once we lose this artificial support from corn, wheat should have some sharply lower prices in front of it as well,” he said. He expects a moderate decline in oilseed prices during the usual summer lows followed by a strong comeback. “Oilseeds, unlike corn and wheat, have a very strong demand picture that’s not going to change,” said Nelson. His advice to corn growers is to sell all old crop before spring planting and lock in a portion of next year’s crop at today’s futures prices, preferably using a tool that allows a gain on the upside if markets move higher.

Brazil’s soybean crop caught in port congestion Large crop compounds problem | Ships lined up at Brazil’s ports BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Brazil’s soybean crop is just starting to come off and already there is congestion at the ports. The world is relying on what is forecast to be a record Brazilian soybean harvest to make up for last year’s drought-ravaged crops in South America and the United States. But getting it to market could be problematic. “They have a long history of having inadequate port handling capacity,” said professor Bill Wilson of North Dakota State University. “It is probably compounded this year because their crop is bigger than previously expected.” The U.S. Department of Agriculture forecasts Brazil to harvest a record 82.5 million tonnes of soybeans, up 24 percent from last year’s production. It is expected to export 38.4 million tonnes of the oilseed, up from 36.3 million last year. That would make Brazil the world’s largest producer and exporter of soybeans in a year when buyers are scrambling to get their hands on supplies. There is already starting to be a backlog of eager importers in Paranagua and Santos, two por ts responsible for 80 percent of Brazil’s soybean export program. As of Feb. 4 there were 41 ships anchored at those ports and another 165 on the way, which is a much higher volume of ships than those ports have seen the previous two harvest periods. Wilson said part of the problem is

that exporters are eager to sell crops now because prices are expected to be lower later in the year. As well, buyers are desperate for product after a year of disappointing corn and soybean production. “We have a ser ious inverse between old crop and new crop and so there is a pent-up demand for nearby shipping,” he said. Brazil will be the main supplier of soybeans until Argentina starts exporting its crop. The peak shipping period will be March and April and then demand will gradually shift to Argentina. Analysts believe there will be lineups of up to 45 days at Brazil’s key ports. Ship owners pay demurrage of $15,000 to $50,000 per day for every day they’re in port past the scheduled pickup, which could be 20 to 30 days in this case. “That’s a huge amount of money that’s being held up there. Ultimately that’s not going to come out of the pocket of the traders, that’s going to come out of the pocket of the growers in Brazil and it’s going to knock down their harvest time prices,” said Wilson. A grower in the centre of Mato Grasso, the state where most of Brazil’s soybeans are produced, pays $3 per bushel to get his crop to port. That compares to $1.64 per bu. for a grower in a comparable origin of the United States, such as Jamestown, North Dakota. Port congestion will add to those already high shipping costs. It will also affect other grain exporting regions of the world. “I suspect that it ’s going to

increase demand for North American crops because of our ability to ship more readily and assuredly,” said Wilson. He thinks Brazil’s mounting logistical problems could boost prices for U.S. soybeans and Canadian canola until the congestion is mitigated in May and June, when buyers increasingly turn their attention to Argentina. Brazil was ranked 108th out of 112 countries for the quality of its port infrastructure in a recent report released by the country’s National Transport Confederation. Wilson saidBrazil is taking steps to move up the rankings. It has allocated $60 billion to fix the problem, including $31 billion that will be spent over the next three years reducing bottlenecks, which is 10 times the investment in public ports over the last decade. One massive project involves paving BR 163, an 1,800 kilometre dirt and mud highway in northern Brazil and replacing 49 of its 51 bridges. The revamped road will give farmers access to northern ports via the Amazon River, where their soybeans can be shipped to the European Union and to Asia via the Panama Canal. Wilson said it will lead to increased soybean production in northern Brazil and better export competitiveness in those markets. “They’d have the ability by 2020 to increase their rate of (soybean) exports by about eight to 10 million tonnes,” he said in an earlier presentation he gave on the same subject at the DTN/The Progressive Farmer Ag Summit 2012.

ow comfortable are you about crop prices? I suspect lots of farmers feel a little complacent with the superhigh prices we’ve seen since 2007 and aren’t doing enough to protect themselves against a possible big downside. I use the word “possible” because, as always, it’s impossible to peg how the future’s going to work out for crop prices. We experienced an incredible price surge last summer as the U.S. Midwest drought bit in. That’s a form of volatility, but it’s the kind of volatility that’s easy for crop growers to handle. After all, the worst that would have happened to farmers who didn’t make 2012-13 sales until December or January, when prices reached their lows, would have been $13 per bushel canola and $9 spring wheat. So you might have missed some big highs, but the leftover prices still provided a profit. Volatility also goes the other way just as sharply. Just look at what happened in 2008. Futures prices can collapse and basis levels spread wide as demand dies. The two events — the 2008 blowoff and the 2012 drought rally — show what can happen in this environment. Spring wheat futures have held above a $7.50 bottom since late 2010, but is that really the lowest they can go? How about canola? Is $11 the lowest canola futures can really go? Is $6 wheat impossible? How about $9 canola? I have been thinking about this because I covered a speech by Cargill Canada president Len Penner last week in which he touched upon two of my favourite subjects: the longterm agricultural commodity bull market and volatility. Penner believes the era of high crop prices won’t end any time soon. There’s just too much demand in the world for crops to get cheap again. But what’s expensive and what’s cheap in the post-2007 world? Penner said he doubts we’ll see $3 or $4 wheat again, or $2 or $3 corn, and that seems reasonable. We appear to have moved to long-term higher plateau price levels.

But that doesn’t mean today’s prices, even after the fall from the drought rally, are long-term bottoms. They could be nearer the upper levels of the new range than the middle or bottom. “It’s unlikely that (prices) will stay at record levels,” said Penner. “They will come back as the storehouse is filled back up.” So when will that be? That all depends on the weather. And maybe there will be another Midwest drought this year and prices will hit even higher highs. But where Penner was speaking offers a sobering lesson to complacent grain farmers: the Manitoba Swine Seminar. Hog producers, at least those who weren’t adequately hedged, were devastated in 2012 by the spike in feedgrain prices. Many have gone out of business. Some I’ve spoken to said they didn’t hedge feedgrains last spring and summer because “the outlook was for lower prices.” That was a “reasonable expectation.” So what’s your reasonable expectation on canola and wheat prices? How much of your financial viability is wagered on those assumptions? Look at a chart of what happened in 2008 and 2009 and decide how comfortable you are if you aren’t hedging. Here are some of Penner’s words to ponder. There’s no stunning insight here, but sometimes the obvious is something we forget. “Volatility is unexpected. You don’t know when it is going to happen.” Hopefully you’re on the right side of the next volatility eruption.

Consumption will drive opportunity

Cargill working well with CWB, says company president

Long-term forecast | Cargill president says higher price plateau will still have volatility BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

High prices and volatility will remain the new norm for farmers, says the president of Cargill Canada. That brings big opportunities and big risks. “We are one production shock away from another volatile price move,” Len Penner said in a speech at the Manitoba Swine Symposium. “We are in a different environment going forward on where prices will be at.” Penner sketched out a long-term picture for prairie agriculture, with coming years likely dominated by the difficulty of production keeping up with surging demand. He said agricultural commodities have been in a profoundly different environment since 2005, when a 30-year trend of annual one to two percent per year growth in food commodity demand was replaced by a higher two to three percent increase. That has put great pressure on the world’s ability to increase production, something proven by 2012’s grain market rally provoked by weather problems in the U.S. Midwest and Eastern Europe. Penner said Northern Hemisphere crop production fell by 120 million tonnes in 2012, which was 40 million tonnes lower than needed to meet consumption. Stockpiles were drawn low and prices surged as a result. Prices have settled down since the historic 2012 rally, but Penner thinks the likelihood remains that this could happen again. Global food consumption continues to rise, so stockpiles are not going to grow quickly. Penner said he expects to see world crop trade increase by 100 to 150 million tonnes in the next four years, which will require farmers to produce all they can. “That’s the opportunity that we have from a global perspective, from a Canadian view,” said Penner. “Production continues to scramble to stay ahead of the consumption growth.”

Grain prices have fallen from the peaks, and Penner doesn’t expect them to regain those heights without a major production problem. However, he said it is unlikely they will fall back into the 1972-2005 range. “Will we go back to three or four dollar wheat, or two or three dollar corn? (That is) unlikely, given the tightness,” said Penner. That’s generally a good situation for crop farmers, but it’s a great risk for livestock producers. Hog farmers’ profitability in particular was ravaged by the feedgrain price surge of 2012 and further spikes could have similarly grave implications. Penner said unpredictable and severe price moves are also part of the post-2005 reality. “Because of the tightness, we are into a volatile market,” he said. “The environment that we’re in is that we can expect some high volatility.” For farmers, the risk lies precisely in the sort of volatility that occurred in

2012, where expectations of stable or weakening prices are suddenly replaced by a dramatic reversal.

“Volatility is unexpected. You don’t know when it is going to happen,” said Penner.

Canada closing in on access to Chinese crushers Expanded market | Canadian canola has been restricted to only coastal areas of China since 2009 BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Canadian canola officials hope to begin opening the door to China’s inland cr ushing plants w ithin months. They think Canadian and Chinese scientific authorities will likely complete their analyses and recommendations before the end of the crop year, allowing their governments to work on an access deal. “We’re working together with China on that,” Jim Everson of the Canola Council of Canada said about analytical work on the possible danger of Canadian blackleg to Chinese rapeseed crops.

“We hope to be able to conclude most of that work in the next months.” Huge amounts of Canadian canola still flow to China, but access to that market has been restricted since Nov. 15, 2009, by rules that keep Canadian canola out of crushing plants in China’s rapeseed and canola growing regions. Seed can go only to crushers in coastal areas. Those restrictions and the potential of future cramps on trade have at times created a negative premium on the prices that grain companies offer to farmers, said market analyst Greg Kostal. Grain companies and exporters discount the price to farmers as a form of insurance because of their

worries about restrictions. “If you have greater risk, the trade will tend to not sell as much, or it wants to get paid before it initiates any more business, or there’s a wider handling margin,” said Kostal. Fortunately for Canadian growers, the effect on prices is probably minimal now because of short supply of Canadian canola and booming demand, he added. “In canola right now, I don’t think you can argue that there’s any blackleg (negative) premium,” said Kostal. However, prices could take a hit if canola and oilseed supplies grow or world demand weakens because of the China uncertainty. Canada’s restricted but vigorous

access to China’s booming market is much better than Australia’s situation with the same issue. Australia has not negotiated a restricted access but is trying to establish the same sort of arrangement as Canada’s. Australia cannot export canola seed to the coastal crushers that Canada has had access to for more than two years. Kostal said opening more Chinese crushing plants to Canadian canola would help both China and Canada because each is dealing with distortions created by the restrictions. It is good to see governments trying to reduce the trade problem before stocks rebuild, raising the potential for discounts to re-appear, he said.

Critics who thought private grain companies wouldn’t willingly move CWB grain have been proved wrong this year. Cargill and the CWB are delighted about their relationship. “We’re quite happy with the way that grain has moved through our system,” Cargill Canada president Len Penner told reporters after a speech at the Manitoba Swine Seminar. “We are pleased with the working relationship that we have with the Canadian Wheat Board and that grain that they have positioned that farmers have committed to them and the grain they have committed to exporting.” The CWB is also happy to see the CWB-Cargill relationship operate as well as it had hoped. “We are pleased with dealing with Cargill,” said Mark Dyck, the board’s director of logistics. “We’ve exported well through their facilities and we’ve done what we have said we’re going to do with them and they’ve done what they’ve said they would do with us.” Cargill was the first grain company to sign a handling agreement with the CWB to move its grain in the postmonopoly era. The CWB now has agreements with all of Canada’s significant grain handlers. However, many worried last winter that the grain companies might not happily move CWB grain because it could conflict with their own internal sales and movement programs. Some felt grain companies were cynically signing agreements with the C WB as a way to create the appearance that it could survive in the post-monopoly era but had few intentions of truly co-operating. Many monopoly defenders believed the CWB would be unable to attract grain from farmers or make sales in the post-monopoly environment because it didn’t own its own facilities and couldn’t guarantee service to port. However, few reports of significant problems with CWB shipments have appeared. Not only is CWB able to call and haul its grain to port through the grain companies, but it is also able to use its sales force to buy crops from Canadian grain companies and sell to foreign buyers at higher prices. Dyck said the relationship with Cargill, Canada’s third largest grain company, is excellent. It is also good with the other grain companies, he added. “Overall we’re pleased with our execution,” Dyck said in an interview. “There have been some bumps we’re trying to address with certain people, but obviously with Cargill things have gone very well.” Penner said he has been pleased to see the wrinkle-free transition to an open market, which includes an active CWB and companies doing their own sales.

Futures options provide protection if summer rain lowers prices

arket outlooks for 2012-13 continue to vary wildly because of differing views about the impact of the continuing drought in the U.S. Plains and parts of the Midwest. Some, like North Dakota State University ag economics professor Frayne Olson and Elwynn Taylor, Iowa State University extension climatologist and professor of agronomy, think the lack of soil moisture make it highly unlikely that U.S. corn yields will recover to the level predicted from the long-term rising trend. Others, like Allendale’s chief strategist, Richard Nelson, think the current dryness won’t hurt corn yields so long as there is enough rain during the growing season. And as we

Agriculture Canada expects more wheat and soybean acres in Western Canada, with canola down one percent. | reported last week, Austin Damiani of Frontier Futures and Drew Lerner of World Weather think there is a good chance the U.S. winter wheat crop will do OK despite the current dismal condition. The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s February-April outlook expects above normal moisture in the northern and eastern parts of the corn belt but no relief in the western part. The hard red winter wheat region could receive below normal moisture in western Kansas, the top wheat producer, and in western Oklahoma and all of Texas. But the confidence level in long-

term forecasts is not strong. Given the risk of sharply lower prices if there is normal rain in the U.S. this summer, it would be a good idea to consider using, where possible, a futures options strategy to lock in a portion of your expected crop at today’s prices and keep the potential to still benefit if the drought lingers and prices rise further. Prairie seeding outlook Western Canada does not have a severe moisture deficit. Parts of Alberta, southwestern Saskatchewan and southwestern Manitoba were dry in the fall, but most areas

now have a fairly good snow pack, except for southern Alberta and southwestern Manitoba. Farmers are eagerly looking forward to seeding. Agriculture Canada last week made its predictions about what they will seed. The department expects more area in Western Canada will be seeded to wheat and soybeans, more than offsetting reduced area of canola and lentils. Area seeded to barley and other coarse grains is expected to be fairly flat. The forecast sees new crop prices decreasing by 10 to 20 percent from the current crop year, with oilseeds faring a little better because of the

CANFAX REPORT FED PRICES UP The bullish Jan. 1 U.S. cattle on feed report and Japan’s decision to ease North American import restrictions to 30 months from 21 months of age lifted cattle futures early in the week. Show list volume was smaller with a moderate reduction in captive supplies. Packer interest in the cash market was mixed. There was almost no competition between the two Alberta plants. Fed steers averaged $116.24 per hundredweight, up $1.34, and heifers were $115.76, up $1.34. Rail sales were $193-$198 per cwt. delivered. Bids strengthened over the week and premiums were paid for long fed cattle. There was light U.S. packer interest. Sales volume totalled 7,927 head, down 35 percent from the previous week.

The Alberta fed cash-to-futures basis weakened 42 cents to close at -$11.61. Weekly fed cattle exports to Jan. 19 were 5,267, up three per cent. Canadian steer slaughter is down 15 percent from last year and heifers are down 29 percent, but feedlots are current in their marketing. Packers will start drawing on February contracts, but interest in the cash market is not anticipated to fade as market-ready supplies have tightened.

COWS LOWER D1, D2 cow prices slipped despite continued large cow slaughter and exports. Some producers are marketing their cull cows a little sooner than anticipated because the harsh winter has reduced forage and feed stocks. This has provided packers with a

comfortable inventory. However, slaughter is anticipated to stay higher than a year ago, which should support cow prices. D1, D2 cows ranged $69-$79 to average $72.92 last week, and D3s ranged $60-$71 to average $65.56. Rail grade cattle were $140-$145.

FEEDERS RISE The stronger fed market helped lift the price of all categories of feeder cattle higher. However, calf and feeder prices re c ov e re d o n l y a b o u t ha l f t h e amount they fell the previous week. Many of the further out live cattle futures contracts last week were still $2 per cwt. lower than they were at the start of January. Interest has picked up for grass cattle. Feeder calves are close to $25 per cwt. lower than a year ago, with continued strong price prospects for

yearlings coming off grass. The Alberta auction volume was up 5,000 head from the previous week but still 3,000 head lower than a year ago. Year to date volumes are down 11 percent. Feeder exports picked up with 2,601 going south. The loonie climbed back to par and barley prices stabilized. The main price drivers now are demand for grass cattle and the Chicago live cattle futures markets. Increased auction volumes and improved quality packages of cattle will likely stimulate demand as the weather stabilizes.

BEEF UNDER PRESSURE Packers could be forced to further slow chain speed because processing margins remain poor. Cattle feeders are anticipated to

gain additional leverage over the next few weeks because marketready supplies are anticipated to tighten. Choice cuts closed the week down $2.69 and Select was down $1.94. Record large carcass weights are partly offsetting smaller fed marketings, making it difficult for packers to force the cutout higher. Canadian cut-out values were unavailable.

RESEARCH | WHEAT

CRAIG’S VIEW

Wheat growers need to play active role in wheat research

heat is the one big crop that western Canadian farmers can really own, and conversations around how to fund new wheat research — and grab a piece of the breeders’ pie — are picking up steam. Cereals research has been elevated as an issue since the elimination of the CWB monopoly because the board once had a large role in research on board grain. It’s time for prairie farm groups to find new ways to fund cereal breeding programs. These programs, as difficult as they may be to organize, should be a ig priority for grower groups, especially for wheat. Growers may not have a choice. University of Saskatchewan agricultural economics professor Murray Fulton told the Canadian Agricultural Economics Society’s recent meeting in Ottawa that increased government funding for wheat research is not a viable option. His view is that government doesn’t see a lot of support for significant additional funding for agriculture. “I’m very worried that we could sleep walk ourselves over a cliff. I think we have to do something bold today,” he said. He is right. Canadian wheat research has fallen behind other countries, particularly Australia. Indeed, lack of research is one reason why Canadian wheat yield gains were dead last in a list of 13 countries over a 46-year period, ending in 2007. That list did not even include Australia. But wheat should never have been left behind. Wheat remains an important part of the prairie crop rotation, a vital component of diets around the world, and even prices have been good lately. And, while Fulton does not believe governments will substantially increase contributions to wheat research, growers must continue to press them for funding, particularly in light of the federal government’s stated innovation agenda. Still, growers will have to take the lead to ensure a strong future for wheat. Fulton suggested a partnership between producers and companies, wherein producers do not pay royalties on seed, but have end-

point royalties deducted at the point of sale. This model is working in Australia, he said. “A game changer is needed in the wheat industry.” The model for pulse growers, where money from the sale of certified pulse seed is returned to research, is also worth considering. As farmers increase their funding to wheat research and breeding, their contribution should get them an ownership position in new varieties. That way they could claim Plant Breeders Rights and have royalties from pedigreed seed sales go back to research and breeding programs they help to direct. The federal government intends to amend the Plant Breeders Rights Act to better protect breeders’ products and encourage research investment. New provisions would extend breeders’ rights from 18 to 20 years and give them exclusive control over protected seed. It is still unclear whether the new act would allow farmers to save and clean harvested seed for replanting on their own farms. If the amendments restrict or end farmers’ replanting rights, going ahead with producer-owned wheat varieties will be even more crucial. As a number of producers attending the recent Keystone Agricultural Producers meeting in Manitoba said, check-off funds will hopefully buy farmers a piece of the wheat and barley breeding business. Challenges ahead include the fact that wheat is a tough plant to breed and improve. In addition, the question of whether to pursue genetic modification in a global market that is still resistant to GM wheat is one that requires thorough consideration. Still, if farmers want to own wheat varieties collectively, it will be worth the investment, giving them a right to insist on research input. Funding decisions must be made quickly, however, to expedite a process that will be long and arduous. Western Canada is already too far behind.

LOBBYING | PURPOSE

Lobby groups able to have their say, but don’t always get their way NATIONAL VIEW

BARRY WILSON

he buzz in Ottawa last week about federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz’s status as the government’s most lobbied minister in 2012 seemed at best naive. Agriculture is one of the most political portfolios in government with dozens of farm groups and food sector corporate interests anxious to make sure the minister and his department understand their point of view.

The industry structure and internal divisions make the minister a prime lobbyist target. The alternative to lobbyists, whether farm groups, corporate hired guns, consumers or individuals, is for government to make decisions in a vacuum of ideology or presumption about what is needed. It’s not a good idea. Of course, ideology and presumption about what is needed helps decide who ministers and bureaucrats see and what message they accept, but it has always been thus. At least these days, lobbying is a relatively transparent business. Lobbyists register and tell us who they see and when. It’s hardly a scandal of backroom dealing. It also is clear that lobbyists, no matter how powerful or close to the

government of the day, don’t always get their way. An example is Canadian Food Inspection Agency briefing notes prepared for president George Da Pont in preparation for late 2011 industry lobbying on impending food safety legislation and veterinary drug approvals. The documents, obtained by Ottawa access-to-information researcher Ken Rubin, indicate that as Agriculture Canada was developing what became the 2012 Safe Food for Canadians Act, lobbyists from the Canadian National Millers Association, Loblaw Companies and Maple Leaf Foods were lining up to try to influence final decisions. They initially made their arguments to CFIA, knowing the information would make its way to Ritz.

The federal government agreed on their general point about the need to consolidate legislation and simplify food safety regulations. Da Pont was advised to indicate to lobbyists the direction of the federal plan, including tighter controls on food tampering, common safety control systems and consistent inspection rules for domestic and imported food. Farm groups got the same signals. Da Pont was also advised to promise that the industry would be offered draft proposals for comment once decisions were made. However, the department did not budge when it came to a key recommendation from several industry lobbyists that the new Food Act be moved from Agriculture Canada to Health Canada. And according to the documents,

when the National Cattle Feeders’ Association met with Da Pont in late 2011 to argue for a faster veterinary drug approval process to keep pace with rules in the United States, they were told it as a Health Canada file. It illustrates a key truth: lobbyists get access to make their arguments but they don’t always get their way. G overnments and ministers, whether Ritz or Liberal and Progressive Conservative predecessors, have an obligation to listen to industry views. Industry or farmers pay big bucks to make sure that happens. The advice from different groups is often contradictory (think exporters and supply management) and there either is compromise or one argument wins the day. However, being lobbied doesn’t mean being bossed around or bought.

2013 | WHAT’S IN A NUMBER?

Municipal services fall behind tax hikes

Unlucky 13 may be driving unlucky streak

BY DEREK LOTHIAN

Saskatchewan has always been about buckling down and getting things done. When there’s a task at hand, we put our money where our mouths are and pool together to realize whatever objective is in our sights, whether it’s saving and cultivating Canada’s most successful football franchise or transforming our economy into the envy of North America. When it comes to growth, there’s an implicit understanding that we all share the responsibility for financing our province’s future through community investment, support of local businesses and (who could forget) taxation. Saskatchewan companies continue to do their part on all three fronts, but when it comes to taxation, there are mounting concerns that the gap between the money collected and the quality of services provided is widening at an alarming rate, particularly at the municipal level. According to a Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters survey conducted last fall, 38 percent of Saskatchewan companies say municipal tax conditions have worsened over the past three years, compared to 13 percent at a provincial level and nine percent at the federal level. Those are major discrepancies. Anyone closely following the budgetary processes of our cities, towns and municipalities this year knows they need to hold on for a bumpy ride, with imminent tax hikes on the horizon and businesses often footing a bill for rates three to four times what residents pay.

Streak of bad luck arrives at the beginning of a year with an unlucky number

Saskatchewan’s business community worries that services offered by municipal governments aren’t providing enough of a return from the taxes they pay. | FILE PHOTO However, ask many in the industrial sector about a service as straightforward as snow removal and you’re sure to see a few rolling eyes. Even in some major urban centers, truckers have gone as far as refusing to service customers several days after a storm because they would struggle to reach the facility without becoming stuck. For a sector as globally competitive as manufacturing, it means lost time, added cost and possibly lost orders. It also puts these homegrown enterprises at a serious disadvantage and deters

new investors from setting up shop. Simply put, we must do better. Saskatchewan businesses have never shied away from carrying their weight, yet the load they are asked to bear comes with one reasonable expectation: limit tax creep by being as efficient and effective with their dollars as possible, and ensure they have access to the basic service levels they need to be successful. We all need to renew that commitment. Just as business is accountable to the public, the public must be

accountable to business. It’s that shared spirit of community that will keep our province thriving for generations to come. Derek Lothian is executive director of the Saskatchewan Manufacturing Council, launched recently by Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters. The council consists of senior industry executives who have joined to weigh in on priority issues affecting Saskatchewan manufacturers and exporters.

FARMTECH | INFORMATION ABOUNDS

Experts share predictions, info at FarmTech HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

t was my first time to the FarmTech conference in Edmonton. There were lots of great speakers in a great venue. After three days of soaking up information, here are some take-home messages. Thomas Mielke of Oil World from Hamburg, Germany, and David Drozd of Ag-Chieve from Winnipeg agreed that better canola pricing opportunities should occur in the weeks ahead. While Mielke does analysis based on supply and demand fundamentals, Drozd is a technical analyst who examines chart trends. Mielke says production concerns

and export problems in South America should improve canola prices in the near term, providing an opportunity to market old crop and also price some new crop. However, he believes the average canola price for the 2013 crop is likely to be lower than the price enjoyed for 2012 production. Drozd believes canola prices have bottomed and are heading back up. He’s looking for a November futures price of $580 a tonne before making new crop sales. That should provide the opportunity to lock in some new crop canola at $13 a bushel. Drozd also told farmers that $9 a bu. should become available for yellow peas this spring, a view shared by Chuck Penner of Leftfield Commodity Research, also from Winnipeg. Penner said yellow pea prices have been rallying in India, which should also be reflected in Western Canada. When Penner’s prediction hit Twitter, other market watchers reported that yellow pea bids had already hit $9 in some locations. Of course, grain prices are closely linked to world weather conditions.

Drew Lerner of World Weather Inc. told FarmTech audiences he doesn’t believe the United States will have a second bad drought in 2013. The country’s big moisture deficit will make trend yields difficult to attain, but he says there’s a low probability of another mega-drought. As for the weather in Western Canada, Lerner doesn’t foresee big problems with spring flooding. In fact, most areas may see a drier spring than normal. However, the fall could have above average precipitation. Peter Johnson, also known as Wheat Pete, had big crowds at his presentations. Johnson, who is the cereal specialist with Ontario’s agriculture ministry, is passionate about improving wheat yields. Even though his research and experience are based in Ontario, the prairie farmers attending FarmTech lapped up his views on how to hit 150 bu. per acre. According to Johnson, the miracle products on the market are worthless, and micronutrients are largely smoke and mirrors. The best boost for wheat yields that Johnson has

found comes from the interaction of nitrogen and fungicide. Increasing rates of nitrogen give a small yield boost, while properly timed fungicide applications also give a small yield increase. Together, there’s an additive effect. One plus one equals three. The other factor is genetic potential. Johnson suggest that with our hard red spring wheat we may be so focussed on quality that we’re giving up yield potential. And here’s an interesting observation from Merle Good, provincial tax specialist with Alberta Agriculture. Want to know what cash rents are in a particular region? Good says they’re typically 18 to 22 per cent of the gross return from an acre of land. If producers are averaging $400 an acre as their gross return, chances are that cash rents will be in the $80 an acre range. It’s easy to see why attendees rave about the info they glean at FarmTech.

admit to entering this year with a tiny superstitious fear niggling at the back of my mind. What’s with an entire year containing the number 13? My extremely intelligent nephew, who was born on the 13th of January, is completely cool with the whole thing. Thirteenth day? Thirteenth year of the millennium? Who cares? I’d like to say I don’t, but I’m starting to get jumpy. First, I got the stomach flu, although admittedly that was the last two days of 2012. Still, it kind of hung on and made me feel icky for three weeks. Apparently this is a common reaction to this particular stomach ailment. Welcome to the new year, tummy. A week or so after the turn of the year, I was in our family room and heard that wonderful sound every homeowner enjoys: drip, drip, drip. I turned toward the noise and sure enough, the fireplace was leaking. Two days later, after the fireplace stopped weeping, there was that sound again. This time, it was the skylight. (I hate those things.) We had three feet of snow removed from our roof and the skylight tarped over. So far, so good, but repairs are necessary. Then we discovered one morning a couple of weeks ago that our water heater had decided to blow its contents all over the floor. In one sense, we were pretty lucky; we caught it before it flooded the basement. In another sense, we were not so lucky. Before we caught it, the water infiltrated the furnace. Goodbye, yearold furnace. This morning, as I write this, we are down one coffee maker. It’s a basic drip machine, but today it was trying on a new identity. It took half an hour to brew something that resembles espresso. It also decided to spew a fairly significant amount of water all over the counter. I have to add that I’m taking this unreasonable weather personally. I love the Prairies. I hate winter. When I left for work, leaving the furnace professionals behind at my house, it was - 48 C with the wind chill. Are you kidding me? I must say, I wonder what will happen next. I don’t think I’ve done anything overt, such as aggravating a black cat or breaking a mirror. I’m blaming it on 2013.

Re: Lawsuit proceeds despite ruling, WP Jan. 24. For the most part, I think farmers will acknowledge the Supreme Court’s decision not to hear the (Canadian) Wheat Board appeal case and continue on with their normal everyday lives and challenges. But every once in a while they will be jolted by a distinct, wafting, unpleasant odour that emanates from the office of Canada’s agriculture minister. This will be a reminder of minister (Gerry) Ritz, and his abandonment of a promise to consult with farmers

and respect a vote for those who support single desk selling. He told farmers that he respects democracy. Consulting of farmers ended up as insulting of farmers. Yes, the single desk selling has been terminated, but the officious manner in how it was accomplished will be remembered for a long time, maybe even to the next federal election. John Fefchak, Virden, Man.

NOT WONDERFUL To the Editor: The paper has been reporting in the

last two or three issues that grain movement since the removal of the Canadian Wheat Board monopoly is just wonderful. The last article in the Jan. 24 edition reports the wheat growers state grain movement has no glitches. The wheat growers do not nor never wanted to market wheat or barley through the CWB. All those who wanted the monopoly gone are telling the general public that everybody is elated. The grain companies do not want the CWB to survive and they are doing everything they can to discourage farmers to sign CWB contracts. I am a retired farmer and I have stayed in contact with farm relatives and farm friends in different parts of the three prairie provinces. Here is what they are telling me. If they

signed a CWB contract, the elevator company informs the farmer there is no room for CWB grain. They are informed there is room for open market grain. Surprise, surprise. Also, if a farmer goes into the elevator and wants to sign a CWB contract, the farmer is told that if he signs a CWB contract then that grain will be the last grain called for. Open market grain takes preference over CWB grain and that is how the grain companies will destroy the CWB. So, in summary, open market grain is getting accepted at the expense of CWB grain. If this trend continues, the CWB will be just a memory in less than five years. Just remember, the grain companies are now selling the majority of the grain to the end users and all that profit is not going to farmers. The grain companies want all the grain to be controlled by them and them alone at the farmers’ expense. What goes on in the grain trade is as clear as mud. David Bailey, Saskatoon, Sask.

LOVING NATURE To the Editor: Re: Story by Barb Glen WP Jan. 17, The perks of forest bathing. This story has motivated me to relate some of my experience growing up on a farm in the parkland of this province. I had recently submitted a commentary on the Emma Lake Art School founded mainly by Gus Kenderdine and the Cowleys. My intention was to salute these people for their belief in wilderness life. My own parents probably indoctrinated me this way. Cutting logs with an axe for a house seemed to be therapy one summer after a tuberculin reaction. The girl I married later was co-operative, as we took to farming, possibly mindful of some of her family adapting. I had a boyhood love of trees and was delighted upon finding a small spruce in pasture. My father went with me and it survives in the yard, a kind of l e s s o n t o m e i n re t i re m e n t . A neighbour lady observed that aspens near their yard seemed to group as families, leafing or yellowing together. I am not advocating moving into the forest. Perhaps others interested in yoga or meditation can see a relationship. My parents were lovers of nature, so I may have inherited an attitude. T. R. Smith, Pathlow, Sask.

FARMER ENTITLEMENT To the Editor: Yes, Kevin, you are probably right about the attitude of farmers as to entitlement (WP column by Kevin Hursh, Jan. 10), but what hasn’t changed in the consumers’ attitude about entitlement? Where on earth do you think farmers got that attitude? Year after year they supply cheap food (meat and grain) to consumers. North America, Canada in particular, has the cheapest food in the world. I think your ancestor farmers would turn over in their graves if they knew you were accusing them of wanting or expecting something that they had not earned and, I

NEWS might say, worked very hard for. I am also very disappointed in your attitude. With your background, you should be defending farmers of the past as well as farmers of the present, not running them down. And I would ask, why should farmers be any different than the rest of the population? You tell me how many people you know are working to feed the world as opposed to feeding themselves? Because most farmers do want to feed the world. But they would also like to get some compensation for it. If you think working people are doing it to feed the world, why do they retire the first chance they get and let pensions feed them? You mention the government stepping up and helping farmers in weather related situations. Are you saying the government never helps the public when their homes or businesses are damaged and also result in lost income? And what about the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s involvement in the automotive industry when they were in financial trouble? That involvement helped those huge businesses and in doing so kept a lot of working people keep their jobs secure. I could go on and on, but you should be able to see that the general public gets as much if not more help than farmers ever did. Kevin, you should tell people, the public, how much money the farmer actually gets from the products they produce, because a farmer gets 12 to 15 cents out of a $3 to $4 loaf of bread.

sellers be responsible for promoting their products? Didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the mighty Gerry Ritz himself say that farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; responsibilities ended when the grain hit the elevator pit? The other question is, since when did the Grain Growers of Canada, so many of whom are just industry shills, become experts at promoting the grain industry in Canada? Their expertise has been in promoting the Conservativesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ideology of ending the single desk and removing any farmer control by turning our grain over to the international grain companies. It looks like holding a Conservative party card and being a No. 1 government promoter of their insane farm policies will probably ensure you an overseas vacation on the public dime disguised as a trade mission.

Tear Soup offers recipe for healing after loss SPIRITUAL VIGNETTES

JOYCE SASSE

very church library should have the book Tear Soup and share it with folks who are grieving. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beautifully told, beautifully illustrated and can be helpful for all ages. Soup soothes the hurts. This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t about an instant can of soup but is something that is made over a long

period of time. In the book, the character Grandy has suffered a big loss in her life. As she moves through her feelings she selects a big pot that â&#x20AC;&#x153;would have plenty of room for all the memories, all the misgivings, all the feelings and all the tears she neededâ&#x20AC;? to stew her soup. The list of ingredients, noted on the book cover, is like a recipe: one pot full of tears, one heart willing to be broken open, a dash of bitters, a bunch of good friends, many hands full of comfort food, a lot of patience, plenty of exercise, helpful reading material and enough self-care, all seasoned with memories. An optional addition might be one good therapist and/or a support group. As to the directions, the suggestions

are to be creative, trust your instincts, cry when you want to, laugh when you want to and put a bit of soup in the freezer as a starter for the next time you or a friend are in need. Grandy shares her process with a grandchild, who finally asks what sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s learned from making the soup. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned that grief, like a pot of soup, changes the longer it simmers and the more things you put in it. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned that sometimes people say unkind things, but they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean to hurt you. And, most importantly, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned that there is something down deep in all of us ready to help us survive the things we think we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t survive.â&#x20AC;?

PAYBACK TIME? To the Editor: It was with total disgust that I read the Grain Growers of Canada were receiving $208,000 from the federal government. This money is supposedly for promoting and educating customers around the world about Canadian grain. The money will also be used to send favoured farmers on overseas trade missions. The farmer-controlled Canadian Wheat Board that (prime minister Stephen) Harper killed promoted Canadian grain sales and developed good relationships with approximately 70 countries around the world. Isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t (agriculture minister Gerry) Ritzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new CWB doing a good enough job for the federal government? Why does it have to waste taxpayersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; money to send their â&#x20AC;&#x153;select farmers,â&#x20AC;? most of whom are shills for the grain industry, on overseas junkets? With the Conservative government eliminating the CWBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s single desk and turning over grain marketing to the so-called â&#x20AC;&#x153;open market,â&#x20AC;? the grain companies are doing sales and presumably advocating the benefits of Canadian grain.

POULTRY EXPORTS | TAIWAN

SHIPPING | PRINCE RUPERT

Sask. resumes poultry exports to Taiwan

Expansion at Prince Rupert port progressing

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Saskatchewan poultry producers have regained access to the Taiwanese market after a five-year trade ban. Federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz announced Feb. 1 that Taiwan had lifted the ban imposed after avian influenza was found in a Saskatchewan barn in September 2007. No further cases of the reportable disease were found, and the province has been recognized as disease-free since 2008. Poultry products from other parts of Canada were not affected by the ban.

Clinton Monchuk, chief executive officer of Chicken Farmers of Saskatchewan, said the province’s processors found other markets during the ban, but having access to Taiwan is great news. “Anytime you open up a market, it’s just an extra opportunity to export,” he said. Several countries banned imports of Saskatchewan chicken after the 2007 incident, but most have lifted them, he said. The value of the Taiwan market for poultry has grown significantly during the past five years. It is now Canada’s fifth-largest export market, growing from import-

ing $77.4 million worth of poultry products in 2007 to $142.4 million in 2011. Monchuk said Saskatchewan produced slightly more than 54 million kilograms of live chicken in 2012 and exported seven million kg of that. North Americans typically consume white meat, but most exports are dark meat. “That dark meat is exported mainly into Asian countries, some in the former Soviet Union, where there is a demand,” Monchuk said. “We do have some chicken that goes into the United States as well, but if anything we see more Ameri-

can chicken coming into Canada than we would see the reverse effect.” Most exported poultry is cut up and frozen but not processed into products such as nuggets or strips until it reaches its end market. “If you are going to do further processing like that, you’d likely ship it into the market into the United States where there’s just a little higher purchasing power than Asia.” Monchuk also said the industry appreciates the continued work by the federal government to open up market opportunities while supporting supply management.

The project passed the environmental assessment review process BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Plans to expand the Fairview Container Terminal at the Port of Prince Rupert have passed a key regulatory hurdle. Federal environment minister Peter Kent completed an environmental assessment of the project in late Januar y, following several months of public consultation. A statement issued Jan. 25 by the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency said Kent determined that measures aimed at mitigating the environmental impact of the project are appropriate. The project is not likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects if proposed mitigation measures are followed, the CEAA statement added. With the environmental assessment review process now complete, the project will be referred to responsible federal authorities for additional authorizations, including the Canadian Transportation Agency, Fisheries and Oceans Canada and Environment Canada. The Fairview Terminal is an intermodal facility designed to handle 500,000 20-foot containers per year. The terminal was opened in 2007, but the expectation of rising demand for container movement prompted plans to quadruple the terminal’s capacity to two million units per year. The project calls for infilling 27 acres of waterfront area and adding a new wharf and container yard. The expansion also includes the addition of new cranes, container stacking equipment and rail facilities. Officials suggested that timelines for completion of the project have not been established. New Jersey-based Maher Terminals, one of the world’s largest container terminal operators, will decide when construction should commence, based on demand from intermodal customers. When the project is complete, the facility will be capable of handling 14 ships per week and 10 train movements per day: five inbound and five outbound. The project was proposed by Prince Rupert Port Authority and Canadian National Railway Ltd., which provides rail service to the port. CN officials said the expansion will increase shipping capacity at one of the continent’s fastest-growing ports. “CN is pleased to work with its partner, the Port of Prince Rupert, to advance the growth of one of the fastest growing ports in North America,” CN spokesperson Warren Chandler said in an email.

TRANSPORTATION | RAIL SERVICE

Parties promise to play nice on rail bill — for now Gov’t introduces rail service legislation | Opposition parties have misgivings that they’ll raise once bill reaches committee BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

All parties in Parliament are pledging fast approval-in-principle for rail service legislation that would give commodity shippers the right to demand a level-of-service agreement with carriers. Debate on Bill C-52 began Feb. 1 and continues this week with a general pledge of early co-operation and fast initial approval. The government has made the bill a priority for winter or spring passage, and NDP House leader Nathan Cullen told the House of Commons his party will vote for the bill at second reading to get it to committee hearings. Liberal MP Ralph Goodale promised that his party will support the bill and has “no intention of delaying this legislation, either in the House or in committee.” However, the political co-operation may well evaporate once the bill is sent to the House of Commons transport committee for detailed study and public hearings. The NDP is demanding extensive hearings and significant amendments to strengthen shipper protection. “We hope the government will be open to all witnesses right across the spectrum and will actually listen to what is being said so that if we need to strengthen this legislation, which we believe we do, then the government is open to that, which has not been past practice in this place,” said Cullen. In fact, major reforms to food safety legislation, the Canadian Grain Commission and abolition of the

Goodale also vowed that the Liberal party wants to be sure shippers have a full say and that MPs have a chance to improve and strengthen the bill if that is what shippers want. When opposition MPs complained about the years it took the Conserva-

tives to introduce legislation, Winnipeg-based minister of state for transport Steven Fletcher offered a glimpse of Conservative impatience with parliamentary proceedings that drag out. “If the member is very concerned about it taking six years, may I ask if his party would delay this legislation another six years or will the New Democrats pass it with unanimous consent?” he asked. In the past, the majority Conservative government has often counted in days rather than weeks or months the

amount of time it allows for parliamentary debate on priority bills. The legislation allows shippers facing rail service problems the right to apply for Canadian Transportation Agency arbitration to have a service agreement imposed as long as they have tried and failed to negotiate a commercial agreement. Fines of up to $100,000 for each infraction could be levied if the railway then fails to live up to the service level promised. Fletcher said the legislation should

enhance the relationship between shippers and carriers. Goodale’s response was that shipper reaction has been generally positive but MPs must confirm that at committee. He had some criticisms but indicated the party would follow the shipper lead. The NDP was more negative, insisting the legislation is a “first step” but badly in need of improvement, including inclusion of existing contracts and an increase in potential fines.

MANITOBA SWINE SEMINAR | ANIMAL WELFARE

Producers facing uphill battle against critics Handling methods | Head of Centre for Food Integrity says livestock producers must be willing to accept change BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Livestock producers should get used to undercover videos being used to shock the public. And farmers should be willing to consider changing their handling practices if they appall the public and are hard to defend.

Those were key messages from Terry Fleck, executive director of the Centre for Food Integrity, in a speech at the Manitoba Swine Seminar. “Can I defend what I’m doing?” said Fleck. “If you can’t talk about it, maybe you should find another way to do it.” The Kansas City-based organization was established in 2007 to deal

February 3 through March 31, 2013 at the

with consumers’ increasing concerns about animal welfare issues. The centre examines claims and evidence of alleged animal abuse and establishes panels of experts to issue reports soon after allegations are made. Many of the centre’s reports on alleged abuses have upheld the claims and denounced practices happening in some livestock operations. However, its report on the alleged abuses gathered by activist group Mercy For Animals Canada and highlighted in an episode of CTV’s W5 was far less condemnatory, finding only a couple of clearly wrong practices and determining that most of the activities were acceptable. However, the sensationalistic TV treatment and the publicity gained by activists staggered many in the Canadian industry. Fleck said farmers should expect more of these types of events because gathering secret camera footage is easier than ever now that most people have cellphones with cameras and the footage is effective at gaining public attention. “These animal activist groups will continue to use this as a tactic to push their agenda,” said Fleck. At least 32 undercover videos have been made in livestock facilities in North America since 2006, with 10

being made in 2010. The one made in the Manitoba Puratone barn is the first big incidence of the phenomenon in Canada. Fleck said farmers need to ensure their practices can be defended to consumers because farmers could lose their “social licence to operate” if they are caught doing things the public disapproves. Farmers are already at a disadvantage in dealing with public controversies over animal welfare because many in the public don’t trust farmers’ primary motivations, Fleck said. Many believe farmers’ first motive

is to make a profit, while they believe activists are motivated by idealism and principle. He said farmers need to operate as if everything they do is being watched by the public. They also need to be open about what they do and not try to hide it from view. “Transparency is no longer an option,” said Fleck. Farmers also need to do a better job of connecting with urban consumers through media such as YouTube. Producers mostly respond to consumer concerns with hard, rationalistic, scientific responses, but those don’t address the public’s primary concern, he added. “People are asking us ethical questions and we’re giving them scientific answers,” said Fleck. “They are going to make decisions based on feelings and beliefs and not on knowledge.” He said farmers need to connect with consumers to be able to engage their feelings and beliefs. For that, they need to be open. “How you are is who you are,” said Fleck. “We need to be constantly interactive.… If all they’re seeing is undercover video and hearing animal activist information, you’ve got to balance that for them by bringing your values to the fore.”

POLITICS | ONTARIO

Ontario premier adopts agriculture portfolio duties Liberals hope to mend rural fences | Kathleen Wynne is a gay community activist from Toronto OTTAWA BUREAU

Ontario farmers will see their political profile rise sharply when Kathleen Wynne is sworn in as Ontario’s 25th premier, likely next week. For the first time in the province’s history, the premier will also hold the agriculture, food and rural affairs portfolio. “This is a win for Ontario farmers,” Ontario Federation of Agriculture president Mark Wales said. “When we talk agriculture to the government, we’ll be talking to the premier.” Grain Farmers of Ontario vicepresident John Cowan said Wynne’s decision should be seen as an attempt to restore Liberal political fortunes outside the big cities. The new premier is a Toronto community activist with little obvious connection to rural Ontario, Cowan said the move also recognizes that agriculture “is one of the strongest parts of the Ontario economy right now.… I hope the result is good access for agriculture and some good policy decisions.” Wynne, Ontario’s first female and openly gay premier, won the party leadership at a late January convention. During the campaign, she made the commitment to take the agriculture portfolio for at least a year. She will lead a minority government and face a Progressive Conservative opposition that holds most rural seats. Farm leaders assume that much of the day-to-day farm lobby contact with government will be through the premier’s legislative assistant, yet to be named. One possible candidate for the job is Ted McMeekin, the current agriculture minister who told farm leaders he encouraged Wynne to take the agricultural portfolio if she won. The farm lobby is already drawing up wish lists for the new premier. Wales said reform of outdated regulations is high on the OFA list, as are business risk management issues. Grain Farmers of Ontario will also be pressing for a two percent biodiesel mandate for the province. “If we had a mandate that would apply to the province, it would boost demand for soybeans as a feedstock and create jobs at biodiesel plants,” said Cowan. Wales said the new premier and agriculture minister will require a crash course on industry and rural issues. Whether her decision produces electoral results for the Liberals will depend on how she performs, he added. “The party recognizes that it cannot get a majority without recovering support it has lost in rural,”

Wales said. “Part of our role is to help educate her about the issues and the need. My members will then judge her on the results.”

FERTILIZER | PHOSPHORUS

Meat consumption linked to global phosphorus use McGill University research | Phosphorus not only input to increase BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The results of a study that links increased meat consumption to the growing global demand for phosphorus didn’t surprise Genevieve Metson. She said her findings illustrate the role diet can play alongside efficient farming and waste management to protect waterways and manage the Earth’s non-renewable supply of mined phosphorus for fertilizer. “It’s not that surprising because our message is extremely similar to how we view other resources,” said Metson, the study’s lead author and a PhD candidate at McGill University. “Eating a meat intensive diet also requires more water. It requires more nitrogen. It requires more land. So I think it’s a very synergistic message.” Her study found that almost three quarters of the phosphorus used in the world can be traced back to meat production. She measured the “phosphorus footprint” of nine crops and five animal product categories around the world, using fertilizer application rates to estimate the phosphorus required to produce crops and feed between 1961 and 2007.

GLOBAL PHOSPHORUS DEMAND GREW BY

200 % FROM 1961 TO 2007 The paper, published recently in Environmental Research Letters, found that a growing worldwide population, consuming more meat and calories, saw the global demand for phosphorus grow almost 200 percent over the period. She measured the growing demand per person at 38 percent, driven by increased meat consumption. Metson and her co-authors found beef to be the most phosphorus intensive meat. “The paper isn’t saying everybody needs to become a vegetarian tomorrow,” she said. “It’s just saying that it’s true that it does require more resources and it’s an important factor to consider in how phosphorus resource demand might change in the future if dietary patterns across the world also change.”

The study found that developed countries had the highest demand, with the United States and Canada near the top of the list, while China’s per capita phosphorus footprint increased almost 400 percent over the period alongside the country’s changing wealth. Canadians were demanding 5.86 kilograms of phosphorus per capita in 2007, says the study. Estimates on the world’s supply of phosphorus vary from decades to hundreds of years, but Metson said the fertilizer is a non-renewable resource that’s not evenly distributed around the world, making judicious management a priority. “I think that this paper shows that individual consumers do have a role to play in sustainable phosphorus management, and part of that role is in their dietary choices, but in Canada we also need to be looking at how we’re producing food and how we’re recycling organic waste that’s high in phosphorus,” said Metson. “It’s not just the farmer that has the capacity to affect how we manage things, but it’s only one tool in a long tool kit to make phosphorus management in the food system be a little more conducive to clean waterways and food security in the long term.”

CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers was scheduled to begin removing river bed rock obstructions from the Mississippi River near Grand Tower, Illinois, Jan. 29 in the final phase of a project aimed at keeping the drought-hit shipping artery open to barge traffic. The corps had been blasting and removing rock pinnacles since midDecember. About 64 cubic yards of rock that pose a risk to navigation during periods of low water were be removed from the river bed at Grand Tower in early February, the corps said. The remaining work at Thebes, including removal of a previously undiscovered rock formation slightly down river from the original work zone, was expected to conclude this week, a spokesperson said.

“Once this rock work is complete and the dredging wraps up, it’s going to give us two additional feet of depth to work with during low water operations,” said corps spokesperson Mike Petersen. The rock clearing project, the corps’ largest such undertaking in at least 25 years, was fast-tracked by the federal government as the Mississippi River neared historic lows amid the worst U.S. drought in a half century. The corps is congressionally mandated to maintain a 2.7-metre-deep channel for river navigation. Shippers rely on the inland river system to haul billions of dollars in commodities every year, including 55 to 65 percent of U.S. corn, soybean and wheat exports that leave the country through the Gulf Coast.

HEALTH | CHILDREN

Children’s health report grim Obesity, nutrition worsening | Rates of smoking are falling among Saskatchewan teens BY DIANE ROGERS FREELANCE WRITER

SASKATOON — A recent study found that Saskatchewan youth are doing some things right for their health but a lot wrong. Nazeem Muhajarine, a professor at the University of Saskatchewan’s college of medicine, said that on the positive side, young people’s smoking levels have dropped. He told a Saskatchewan Youth Symposium Jan. 26 that only 12 percent of the province’s youth reported smoking in 2010-11, which is down from 25 percent in 1995. “ T h ro u g h p o l i c i e s a n d changing social norms, we made smoking a very bad thing,” he said. Reports of bullying and mental illness have also improved from past decades.

Young people also eat enough meat to meet the daily recommended level, but they don’t consume enough milk, whole grains and fruit and vegetables. Worst of all, only one in seven students reports doing 60 minutes of physical activity a day, which is the recommended level. As a result, Muhajarine said 30 percent of all young people are

overweight or obese, which is the largest number in human history. He said this showed up across Saskatchewan and not just in a certain region. “There’s a myth out there that the rural area is better than the city (for youth health). The information is not bearing that out.” Muhajarine said humans are not built to sit down but rather to move around and expend energy, which is why he suggests schools return to mandatory physical activity classes. He also said schools and offices should use desks that allow people to stand for periods of time and that communities be built to encourage walking and cycling. He said people of all ages must fight the sedentar y

lifestyle that they have adopted. Early societies walked around most of the time but in 2013 people are active for only two hours a day, Muhajarine added. He said Saskatchewan has an unusual population profile: one of the highest rates of seniors as the baby boom generation ages and the second highest number of people younger than 15. This has cost implications for government budgets but also represents an opportunity because these pressures on society create jobs. “Society, health care and education systems bear the cost of poor health,” he said. “Healthy kids are better learners.”

DIET | OMEGA 3 & 6

Nutritional overload could have negative outcomes: study BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Consumers could be getting too much of a good thing with all the omega 3 fortified food on the market, according to a new study. The research, conducted by Sanjoy Ghosh of the University of British Columbia, was aimed at determining whether fish oil pills, which are high in omega 3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), could counteract some of the negative health effects of omega 6 PUFA.

People are consuming a lot more omega 6 PUFA than they used to because they have switched from animal fats to vegetable oils, which is generally thought to be a healthier form of fat. Vegetable oils made from corn, safflower and sunflower are high in omega 6. Recent research has shown that diets high in omega 6 can cause inflammation and damage to the heart and other organs. Ghosh’s research, which was published in the British Journal of Nutrition, shows that adding fish oil

supplements to mice that were fed a corn oil-based diet reduced inflammation and added beneficial bacteria to the gut but also led to oxidative damage. His hypothesis is that omega 6 levels are already so high that adding more unsaturated fat, even in the form of healthy omega 3, is contributing to the negative effects that omega 6 is having on the heart and bowels. Will Hill, president of the Flax Council of Canada, is puzzled by Ghosh’s research.

“It seems to be counter to the conventional wisdom and that’s basically that we have too much (omega) 6 and we need more (omega) 3,” he said. Ghosh said the study shows pills can’t fix an improper diet. “Polyunsaturated fats should be brought down in our diet, olive oil should be increased and saturated fats should be increased,” he said in a UBC news release. Recent studies have shown that saturated fats may not be as bad for people as once thought.

New technology for video endoscopy capsules developed at the University of Saskatchewan will provide more consistent diagnoses of gastrointestinal diseases. Khan Wahid, associate professor of electrical and computer engineering, led the research that promises to provide a clearer picture of illnesses such as Crohn’s disease and cancer. Tiny endoscopy capsules, which are swallowed by patients and include a video camera and computer chip, often leave doctors without a continuous picture of tissues. Wahid’s team developed a way to better capture and process images to provide them more frequently and extend battery life during the capsule’s eight to 10 hour journey through a patient’s body. The patent-pending technology includes a SIM-sized card and mobile device application that transmits information to the patient’s smartphone.

ROASTED RED PEPPERS | RECIPES

Roasted sweet red peppers make flavourful soups and sauces TEAM RESOURCES

BETTY ANN DEOBALD, BSHEc

weet red peppers are vine-ripened green peppers. The ripening produces a sweet flavour in

the crisp, juicy flesh. Green, red, yellow and orange peppers are often referred to as bell peppers because of their shape. A 150 gram pepper, with stem and seeds removed, contains nine grams of carbohydrates, three grams of which are dietary fibre, and it is a good source of vitamins A and C. When selecting peppers, look for a fresh green stem and a smooth firm skin without wrinkles, slashes or black spots. Peppers will last about a week if stored, unwashed, in a plastic

bag in the refrigerator. Red peppers add crunchy sweetness to salads, soups, stews, kabobs and stir fries. They are also excellent stuffed and baked. They can be roasted or grilled whole and served as a side dish or used in soups and pasta sauces. Grilled red peppers can also be bought in a jar for easy preparation. Roasting sweet red peppers The softened flesh of roasted red peppers makes an excellent base for

soups and pasta sauces. The roasting or grilling intensifies the sweetness and produces a slight smoky flavour. To roast the peppers, preheat the oven to 375 F (190 C). Wash the peppers and dry. Pour one tablespoon of canola oil in a saucer and roll the peppers in the oil. Place the whole peppers on a baking sheet and roast, uncovered, for about 20 minutes. Turn peppers and continue roasting another 20 minutes or until the skin is blistered and slightly charred. Remove peppers from the baking

sheet and place in a heavy paper bag. Seal the bag and let the peppers stand until they are cool, about 20 minutes. The skins will loosen and be easy to peel off. Remove peppers from the bag, peel the skin and slice in half to remove seeds. Save the pepper juice to include with pepper pieces. Cut into large chunks to add to your recipe. Refrigerate peppers for up to two days or freeze. They can also be grilled whole on the barbecue and then peeled and chopped.

POET | RANCH LIFE

Dreams come true for poet who wakes ready with words Documenting dreams | Author says her poems reflect the pleasures and hardships of farm life BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

I’ll never be rich, but I’m totally self-satisfied. That’s quite all right with me. LAURIE LYNN MUIRHEAD POET

traditional roles of women in a cattle industry still dominated by men, the midnight watches during calving, the highs and lows of life and death on the ranch, the consequences of farm accidents and the fallout from market downturns. She said the life of a poet can be equally harsh, citing a small Canadian market and an even smaller market for poetry. “You have to be prepared for rejection.” Feedback is humbling and helpful. “I feel OK if what I want to say is still there,” Muirhead said. “They make you see something I can’t see.” She belongs to the Sans Nom poets’ group and attends retreats to mingle with other writers and focus on writing. “I now know you are born a writer and you have to work at your craft.” Anne Pennylegion, the Saskatchewan Writers Guild’s retreat co-ordinator, said the guild offers retreats that provide writers with a peaceful place to hone their skills and be supported. “They are with like-minded people and writing at a similar stage in their writing careers. It’s very beneficial for them,” she said. “It’s quiet time to get their work done.” Pennylegion said the abundance of writers on the Prairies is likely the result of the extremes of climate and short winter days that drive people inside and force them to make the most of what they have. “I think it provides people with something different,” she said. Muirhead is in the midst of calving on the farm but has resolved to put aside 30 minutes a day for writing this year. Her school’s summer breaks also give her time to write. She plans to continue writing “accessible poetry,” build on her publishing credits and create a children’s book with her artist sister. “I will always write,” she said. “I’ll never be rich, but I’m totally self-satisfied. That’s quite all right with me.”

PRINCE ALBERT, Sask. — Laurie Lynn Muirhead often wakes up at night with a poem formed during a vivid dream. When that happens, she scrambles to her journal to record the thoughts that will later be massaged into a poem. “Some poems I wake up with,” she said. “Eighty percent of the poems are there in the morning to greet you. You will dream your poetry.” Writing has been Muirhead’s lifelong preoccupation, but more recently she has used it to preserve dimming memories of past days. “I felt a loss of not remembering the little things that need to be remembered,” she said. Muirhead recalled her childhood growing up as one of nine siblings on a grain and cattle farm near Davis, Sask. She would often retreat to her place in the bush to write. “I’d sit on the fence and write to the cows,” she said. Her life continues to revolve around the farm and cattle. She runs a 400 head purebred Simmental bull operation near Shellbrook with her husband, Ward, and the oldest of two sons. It’s a life well documented in a body of work that includes cowboy poems published in numerous magazines and performed live and on radio. Bone Sense, her first book of poetry, was published last year by Thistledown Press. The former special education assistant and current school librarian counts Robert Frost, Glen Sorestad and Doris Bircham among her favourite poets, as well as Prince Albert area author and writing teacher Lynda Monahan. Monahan called Muirhead’s book “a wild and difficult beauty.” She said Muirhead is deeply connected to the land and ranching. “She gives us that life with all of its pleasure and its pain both. She doesn’t sugar coat it.” Monahan teaches her students to draw from such life experiences. “If you write with courage and truth, someone else will care about those stories, too,” she said. “Everybody does have a story inside themselves. You just have to look inside yourself for what those stories are.” Muirhead’s poetry touches on the

Orchard owners experiment with new fruit crop Haskap in Saskatchewan | Early adopters test new haskap varieties and recipes BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

BIRCH HILLS, Sask. — Building a new fruit enterprise takes time, perseverance, money, patience and careful consideration of the big picture, say two haskap growers. Carl and Sandra Barber are on the ground floor of a project that may not bear fruit in their lifetime, but both are eager for the chance to create a new niche market crop for Saskatchewan. “So far we think our haskap adventures are developing successfully,” Carl said. “In a couple years, we should know for sure.” Their benchmark is blueberries, but Carl said haskap packs a greater nutritional punch, is well suited to the harsh prairie climate and could eclipse blueberry’s success one day.

Canada is the world’s second-largest producer and exporter of blueberries. “It took years for blueberries to get there,” said Carl. “Haskap will get there, just like canola.” Sandra said processed haskap holds the most promise because the window for servicing fresh markets is scarcely three weeks. The Barbers grow haskap at their 21 acre Northern Light Orchards near Hagen, Sask., with 10 other owners. Carl is president and manager and employs a part-time worker in addition to berry pickers at harvest. Partners provide labour and equipment as needed. Haskap and hybrid poplar trees are grown on 17 of the acres, with the remaining land in native trees and shrubs. The Barbers are also coowners of Haskap Central Sales near Henribourg, Sask., which propagates haskap for other growers. The hardy bushes yield purple oblong-shaped fruit in June and are grown without irrigation and chemicals. The challenge for plant breeders is to create varieties suited for mechanical harvesting, while for growers it is finding suitable harvesters. Northern Light fruit is currently hand picked. The orchard grows Borealis, Tundra and Indigo Gem, some of the first commercially released varieties from

the plant breeding program led by researcher Bob Bors at the University of Saskatchewan. The Barbers worked extensively with Bors, learning the ropes and helping maintain the plants at the Saskatoon campus. The fledgling haskap sector has only 300 commercial acres in North America, and Carl said there is little support and resources for growers. The Barbers have found it beneficial to attend horticultural shows in British Columbia and talk to blueberry growers. “We’re trying to do something with haskap that’s never been done before,” said Carl. “No one really knows what a Tundra plant will look like when it’s mature.” Added Sandra: “It’s a leap of faith.” The orchard was planted in 2008 and is expected to be in full production within two years. Limited harvesting in 2011 netted 1,000 kilograms and more was harvested in 2012. Plants flowered early in cool tem-

peratures last year when the bees were not yet flying, which affected cross-pollination and yield. The Barbers also sell 5,000 to 10,000 poplar trees a year and operate Tiger Hills Outfitting. In addition, Sandra ser ved as administrator for the Rural Municipality of Birch Hills and Carl worked as a building contractor. Carl also oversees the family’s four-quarter farm at Storthoaks, managing forage, pasture and annual crops. The orchard builds on the Barbers’ love of the outdoors, interest in maintaining biodiversity, conservation and agroforestry and passion for growing what they eat. “That got us going on this track,” said Carl. “I always thought there should be more in agriculture than extensive monoculture.” Sandra said the fruit’s high antioxidant content is a selling point. “I believe in eating healthy and haskap is one of those foods that are not only good for you but tastes

great as well.” Sandra uses trial and error to develop recipes for wine, juice and preserves, experimenting with different sugars and thickeners. “There is so much juice it bleeds into your baking,” she said. The orchard markets its fruit through a website and also offers a U-pick operation. “We have no problem selling whatever we produce,” said Sandra. “People are interested. It’s a novelty.” Carl is careful to curb his enthusiasm. “A lot of ag diversity ventures, people get unrealistically optimistic.… We know how much time and capital was required to be successful,” he said, citing the $250,000 invested by Northern Light partners over a fiveyear period. The Barbers say the next step is to fine tune their products in preparation for the Food Industry Development Centre in Saskatoon. “We’re not sure how far we’ll go with the processing end,” Sandra said.

air inspires such creativity in the naming of emporiums that glorify it. You have your Hairports and Hair Affairs and Hair Apparents. You have your Cutting Edges and Manestreets and Mane Events, your Head Offices and Shear Talents and Wave Reviews. Back in the days of tail fins on cars, my dad would hand me a dollar for a haircut. That meant only one thing — going a couple of blocks out of my way on the way home from school. Yes, Virginia, kids used to walk to and from school, although I won’t claim it was 10 miles as my parents insisted was their experience. And their parents no doubt faced a 20 mile daily hike over rutted roads and gopher-hole infested pastures, not to mention the daily blizzards in winter and twice daily tornadoes in spring. For me, it was only a single mile, largely free of evildoers lurking under every signpost. Those were more innocent times, or so it seems

now, through the fog of days. Once a month or so, with dollar in hand, I would stop at Joe’s Barber Shop. I should mention that there were two Joes at Joe’s Barber Shop. There was Joe, the proprietor, and Joe, the other guy. It was kind of hard to tell them apart even though they weren’t related. They even had the same repartee, along the lines of, “Hey kid, what’s new?” and “What’s new with you, kid?” They were both fast, too. If a hair cut took more than 10 minutes, it could only mean there had been some arguing about the relative merits of Mickey Mantle over Roger Maris. Joe had scissors but his weapon of choice was the electric shears. Buzz, buzz, buzz and in no time I was back on my feet, a pretty good subject, if a little young, for a Marines’ recruitment poster.

I don’t recall Joe ever asking me how I wanted my hair cut. He was the barber, after all. Joe could deliver three types of cuts: real short, a lot shorter and cue ball simulation. After the ceremonial patting on of witch hazel, Joe the proprietor or Joe the other guy would whip the cape off his young victim and declare, “Looks good! Tell your old man I said hello. OK, kid?” It had to be OK. Any complaints about the shearing being overdone would not have been believed — not by Joe (“It’s nearly summer, kid. Your head’ll stay cool this way”) and not by my dad, who played poker with Joe the proprietor on Saturdays, and therefore considered him an all right guy.

I am not sure what to do. My girlfriend seems to get depressed every year after Christmas. This is hard on everyone. I try to help her by taking on more responsibilities around the house and caring for our two young children but what I would really like to do is find some way to help her feel better. I have heard of something called seasonal affective disorder. Do you suppose this is the problem? If so, what can I do to help?

If you have suspicions that it is seasonal affective disorder, you can best help her by either making an appointment to talk to her family doctor or by arranging an intake meeting for her with your local mental health clinic. It probably means taking medication, having a few appointments with a counsellor and doing light therapy. That means being exposed to bright

and powerful light for a few moments each day to help your girlfriend’s body compensate for the loss of natural light in winter on the Prairies. It most often affects women, although men are not immune to it. Fifteen out of every 100 people will show some symptoms of seasonal affective disorder. Two to three of those will be severely disabled by it. Seasonal affective disorder is depression that is more likely to repeat itself at specific times of the year. Symptoms for seasonal affective disorder are similar to those seen in major depressions. They include lethargy, fatigue, social isolation, an inability to concentrate, unusual sadness, anxiety or despair, changes in appetite, weight gain, headaches, irritability and an unusual need for more sleep. Most of us are likely to react to long winter nights and frigid daylight climates. We should try to force ourselves outside daily and make sure that we eat nutritious meals. Unfortunately, those simple remedies are not going to work for people with seasonal affective disorder. These people do better by working with a care team in a health setting.

RESEARCH | FEED INNOVATION INSTITUTE

Colleen Christensen can’t tell you all of the details of her work — they’re confidential. But there’s a good chance that if you’ve heard about an innovative new livestock feed, it’s come across her desk at the University of Saskatchewan’s Feeds Innovation Institute. Wheat dried distillers grain, a byproduct of ethanol production, and meal from carinata, an upstart oilseed crop, are a few areas her organization has worked in recently, yet many producers might be unfamiliar with the FII, let alone its executive director. The organization works business to business and does so confidentially, providing a number of ongoing research and advisory services to companies developing new feed products. That’s everything from laboratory work expressing a feed’s nutritional profile to market feasibility analysis and assistance registering products. Over its six-year history, total revenues from these contracts — which can be as small as $500 and as large as

Colleen Christensen says the feed institute provides early stage research that will eventually be used to attract private investment. | DAN YATES PHOTO $100,000 — have exceeded $1 million. “If I couldn’t make a million dollars, then what I’m doing wouldn’t be relevant. But I do. I have that many people who are interested. They realize that when they’re starting a bio-economy company or biorefinery that they have several revenue streams and they need to develop the animal feed industry in order to create a viable sustainable company,” said Christensen, who’s led the FII since 2007. “The industry realizes that more and more they’ll be moving away from the traditional feed grains, the barley and wheat, and every other co-product that they can use is ben-

eficial for them as well.” The institution, described as a public-private commercialization centre, provides industry players with a link to the university’s facilities and faculty. As executive director, Chr istensen’s role is multi-faceted, requiring her to fall back on both her laboratory and office know-how — communicating with a lab technician, cold-calling potential clients and working with industry stakeholders who will use the university’s new f e e d re s e a rc h c e nt re i n No r t h Battleford, Sask., which will further its capacity to conduct feed research on an industrial scale.

“Because I started early enough in my career, I’ve always done both. So I can switch my hat pretty easily and both are difficult,” said Christensen, who followed up a PhD in reproductive immunology with more business-minded stints with the Saskatoon Colostrum Company and the Canadian Light Source Inc. Among the FII’s clients is Agrisoma, the company which contracted some 6,500 brassica carinata acres across Western Canada in 2012. The company, which is crushing the seed in the U.S., is interested in the crop for biofuel production, but is working with Christensen and the FII to better understand the protein makeup of the remaining meal and its potential as a livestock feed. While not cleared by Canadian regulators, the meal is an important piece to establishing the industry and crop, said Patrick Crampton, vice-president of business and prod-

uct development for Agrisoma, but as a byproduct, it’s not part of the company’s “core competency” and something the company chose not to handle in-house. “Colleen and the feed institute have been a great resource to start with a very broad canvas and then provide that level of detail that helps us prioritize the work to be done,” Crampton said. Christensen also spearheads larger research projects with results geared for whole industries. One such initiative resulted in the publication of the Wheat DDGS Feed Guide, a resource for the use of wheat dried distiller grains with solubles in beef and dairy cattle, swine, poultry and aquaculture in 2011, while a similar project is underway for camellia. These projects provide a resource to young companies and industries developing novel meals. The resources provide innovators in that sector, companies like Agrisoma that might not have the capacity to do the foundational work on a byproduct themselves, a leg up. “Everything that I do is foundational. It’s always research in some sort of way and it’s always applied research because we’re involving industry as much as we possibly can,” said Christensen. “It’s just that it’s that much earlier in the discovery phase that you don’t have a bunch of private companies willing to pay for the research yet.”

SEEDING ESTIMATE | AGRICULTURE CANADA REPORT

Ag Canada predicts largest wheat crop in a decade Higher yields may boost canola production | Farmers expected to seed 25.3 million acres of wheat and 21.3 acres of canola WINNIPEG (Reuters) — Farmers are expected to plant the biggest wheat area in 10 years and slightly less canola, Agriculture Canada said in its first seeding forecast of the year. Attractive prices and a modest shift away from canola and other crops should entice farmers into planting more wheat, according to the forecast for the 2013-14 crop year. Canola plantings are expected to be tapered back because of strong prices for other crops, high input costs for canola and concerns about disease and insects. Yields were disappoint-

ing last year, mainly because of unfavorable weather. Canada is the world’s biggest producer of canola and the world’s sixthlargest wheat grower. Agriculture Canada calculates its estimates using analysis rather than a farmer survey. The department’s estimate for allwheat plantings is 25.3 million acres, up six percent from last year. It forecasts production at 28.5 million tonnes. Despite a big harvest last year, robust wheat exports look to whittle down stocks by July 31 to 5.3 million

AGRICULTURE CANADA EXPECTS WHEAT PLANTING TO INCREASE BY

6% tonnes, the lowest level in five years. Agriculture Canada pegged canolaseeded acreage at 21.3 million acres, down one percent from last year.

However, canola production could be higher if yields improve. The department estimated the harvest at 15.5 million tonnes, up sharply from 13.3 million tonnes last year. A bigger canola harvest will be badly needed to replenish supplies next autumn, with Agriculture Canada forecasting record-low stocks of 350,000 tonnes by July 31 because of strong global demand. The department’s forecasts for plantings of wheat and canola are bigger than the average industry estimates found in a Jan. 11 Reuters poll.

The survey found traders and analysts expect plantings of 24.7 million wheat acres and 19.7 million acres of canola. Agriculture Canada’s estimate for durum plantings is 4.8 million acres, up slightly from 4.7 million acres last year, while it expects farmers to seed barley on 7.8 million acres, up from 7.4 million. Oat plantings look to be 2.6 million acres, down from 2.9 million acres in 2012 because of an expected price drop. The more closely watched Statistics Canada will issue its first planting estimates based on a farmer survey April 24.

CWB | PRIVATIZATION

FNA says farmers should get crack at owning CWB Farmers of North America says farmers’ investment over 75 years means it already belongs to them BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Western Canadian farmers should be given the first opportunity to take over ownership of CWB when it is privatized, says a top official with Farmers of North America. Bill Martin, vice-president of grain marketing with FNA, said western Canadian farmers have made significant investments in the wheat board and should have first crack at taking over the marketing agency when privatization occurs. Ottawa has given CWB executives until 2016 to submit a plan to privatize the former wheat board. That plan must be approved by Ottawa, and privatization must be completed by 2017. “We have had discussions with the federal government on that whole privatization process and we have had discussions with the CWB on that privatization process and we have made it clear that we believe farmers should have first crack at ownership before it gets sold to some multinational,” Martin said. “The way we look at it, over the 75 year history of the Canadian Wheat Board, farmers have made a significant investment in that organization…. They (CWB) have one of the best grain marketing organizations in the world. They have very sophisticated market intelligence, very sophisticated weather intelligence and a very, very strong customer list. Farmers have paid for that. It belongs to them.” FNA announced last month that it had reached a co-operative grain marketing deal with CWB that would allow it to act as a grain sourcing agent for the voluntary wheat board.

The deal puts FNA in a better position to promote farmer interests when privatization occurs. “FNA doesn’t really take ownership positions,” Martin said. “What FNA does is negotiate on behalf of our members and we do that on a wide range of products and services. Does the deal (with CWB) put us in a better position to take an ownership stake? No. But it does put us in a better position to make sure that we’re negotiating on behalf of farmers and to make sure that farmers have an opportunity to take an ownership position.” Privatization of the CWB has been a recurring topic of discussion at CWB producer meetings that started in

January and will continue for the next two weeks. CWB officials have said that work aimed at privatizing the voluntary wheat board is underway, and a plan will likely be submitted to the federal government well before the August 2016 deadline. CWB president Ian White said late last year that the board prefers a business model that would include farmers as a significant shareholder. “Certainly we believe there’s a place for a farmer-owned or farmerfocused company in the Canadian prairie landscape once again, and we’ll be certainly looking (at) … how we might affect that and what sort of process we have to go through to get to that,” White said. “We’ll be talking to farmers a lot about (this) when we come up with what that plan actually looks like, (but) our plan is not to have the CWB bought out by a grain company.… Our plan is to find ways of … having farmers as shareholders and maybe some other companies as shareholders as well, and looking for sources of capital.” White said gaining access to capital will be critical to the company’s viability. “We realize that we’re going to have to develop the business to be successful in the future and that probably means owning some level of storage and throughput capacity ourselves,” he said. “To develop a grain company these days, it takes a lot of capital so we’ll be looking at how we access capital and what we’ve got to do to be successful going forward.” Martin said FNA will do what it can to promote farmer interests during the privatization process. “We want to make sure that when the board of directors of the CWB and officials from the federal government are making their privatization plans, that they are constantly reminded that … farmers (have) already paid for this.”

SYRIAN CIVIL WAR | AGRICULTURE HIT HARD

Syrian agriculture in ruins: UN Civil war rages on | Wheat and barley production has been cut in half and infrastructure destroyed ROME/BEIRUT (Reuters) — Syria’s 22-month civil war has ravaged vital infrastructure and halved the output of staple crops, the United Nations says. The report underscores the lasting damage from which the country will take years to recover. What began as a peaceful protest movement against president Bashar al-Assad has killed more than 60,000 people, devastated the economy and left 2.5 million people hungry. Prospects of a negotiated peace have receded as the war becomes more overtly sectarian, making Western powers more wary of supporting the largely Sunni Muslim rebellion that is becoming increasingly radicalized. Human Rights Watch recently pointed to the burning and looting of religious sites of minorities in recent months that suggested an escalation of sectarian strife. As fighting raged throughout the country, Assad’s most powerful foreign backer, Russia, said the war would not be resolved peacefully as long as rebels insist on his overthrow. Detailing the damage from the longest and deadliest of the Arab uprisings, the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization said wheat and barley production in Syria had dropped to two million tonnes in 2012 from four to 4.5 million tonnes in normal years. Agriculture is vital to the economy, accounting for one-fifth of gross domestic product before the war. Fuel shortages hamper harvest A UN assessment in Syria this month, co-ordinated with both Syria’s government and the opposition, found the conflict was destroying infrastructure and irrigation systems and that insecurity and fuel shortages were making it harder for farmers to harvest crops. Devastation of Syria’s agricultural industry could push the government to spend more money on food imports, further straining the resources of a country that officials said was self-sufficient in wheat before the conflict. “The mission was struck by the plight of the Syrian people, whose capacity to cope is dramatically eroded by 22 months of crisis,” said Dominique Burgeon, director of the FAO’s emergency and rehabilitation division. “Destruction of infrastructure in all sectors is massive and it is clear that the longer the conflict lasts, the longer it will take to rehabilitate it,” he said. Power cuts and fuel shortages have become part of daily life, and residents of central Damascus, which had been spared the worst fallout of the war, say basic services are breaking down. Drivers in Damascus said there had been no fuel in the capital for two days. A black market for fuel has developed in which traders charge 20 percent more than government prices, residents said. Some also reported food shortages in the city centre.

What we are seeing now are the consequences of the failure of the international community to unite and to resolve the political crisis after nearly two years. VALERIE AMOS UNITED NATIONS HUMANITARIAN CHIEF

Severe shortages have also hit other parts of Syria, especially rebel-held areas subjected to daily bombardment by government artillery and warplanes. Assad and his family, who have ruled the country for more than four decades, belong to the minority Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shiite Islam. Syria is also home to Christians, Ismailia, Druze and other minorities. Human Rights Watch pointed to a video published online in December that showed rebels waving assault rifles and cheering as a Shiite place of worship in the northern village of Zarzour burned in the background. Rebels have also clashed with Kurdish People’s Defence Units in the northern border town of Ras alAin, a monitoring group said. Fighting there had killed more than 56 people as insurgents brought in heavy weapons, including tanks and mortars, to attack the Kurdish militants, the Britain-based Syrian Obser vator y for Human Rights said. Ankara has repeatedly scrambled jets along the frontier and has responded in kind when shells originating in Syria have landed within its borders. The first Patriot missile batteries being sent by NATO countries to shield Turkey from possible missile attack from Syria were expected to be in place and ready for use soon, a senior officer in the western military alliance said. Russia, which has a naval base on Syria’s Mediterranean coast, said the conflict would not be resolved peacefully as long as Assad’s opponents were bent on his exit. “Everything runs up against the opposition members’ obsession with the idea of the overthrow of the Assad regime. As long as this irreconcilable position remains in force, nothing good will happen, armed action will continue, people will die,” foreign minister Sergei Lavrov told a news conference. Moscow has vetoed three UN Security Council resolutions aimed at pressuring Assad to step down or seek a negotiated end to the conflict, and divided world powers have been unable to halt the violence. UN humanitarian chief Valerie Amos said their failure had led to a catastrophic humanitarian situation in Syria. “What we are seeing now are the consequences of the failure of the international community to unite and to resolve the political crisis after nearly two years,” she said. Refugees are flooding out of Syria, straining neighbouring countries’

ability to cope. Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey each host more than 130,000 registered refugees. Jordan’s foreign minister said 20,000 Syrian refugees had fled to Jordan in the last seven days, the fastest influx since the start of the uprising. “We are making contacts with major donor countries to tell them the camps in Jordan are almost reaching full capacity so we need help to continue building infrastructure for further camps,” Nasser Judeh said. Sunni Muslim Gulf states have supported Assad’s opponents and called for them to be armed, but the rebels complain that they have few weapons to challenge Assad’s air power. Saudi Arabia’s former intelligence

chief, prince Turki al-Faisal, said Arab countries could not give gamechanging weapons. “Most weapons capable of dealing with the air force or long range artillery are manufactured by others and sold to Arab countries with strict restrictions on third party transfers,” he said. “Saudi Arabia can’t give them because it has to get permission from the United States. I assume that other countries that have such weapons face similar restrictions.” Russian president Vladimir Putin told Lebanon’s visiting president, Michel Suleiman, that Moscow could offer financial and humanitarian aid to help Lebanon cope with 200,000 refugees who have crossed into his country from Syria.

U.S. IMMIGRATION | REFORM

Ag workers on special path toward U.S. citizenship Replace guest worker program | Immigrants seen as vital to economy

northern Syrian town of Ras al-Ain, as seen from the Turkish border town as devastated agriculture and it will take years to recover, says the United

WASHINGTON, D.C. (Reuters) — Agricultural labourers would be on a separate path to U.S. citizenship than other undocumented workers in the immigration reforms proposed by eight senators that cited the importance of feeding America. Many of the 1.5 million farm workers employed in the United States, perhaps 500,000 to 900,000 in all, are believed to be in the country illegally. Farmers, ranchers and nursery operators say the immigrant workforce is vital because it is difficult to recruit Americans for low-paying, often back-breaking labour such as

These individuals will earn a path to citizenship through a different process under our new agricultural worker program. U.S. SENATORS

fruit picking, vegetable harvesting and daily care of livestock. “Agricultural workers who commit to the long-term stability of our nation’s agricultural industries will be treated differently than the rest of the undocumented population because of the role they play in ensuring that Americans have safe and secure agricultural products to sell and consume,” said the bipartisan group, which includes two top-ranking Democrats in the Senate and Arizona Republican John McCain. “These individuals will earn a path to citizenship through a different process under our new agricultural worker program.” The phrasing was similar to a proposal from a dozen agricultural and nursery groups for a new farm labour program to replace the guest worker program now in place. Members of the Agricultural Workforce Coalition regard Democratic senator Dianne Feinstein from California and Republican senator Marco Rubio from Florida as key legislators in the drive. “We view this as a step in the right direction,” said Kristi Boswell of the American Farm Bureau Federation, a coalition member. Ken Barbic of the Western Growers

Association, another coalition member, said his group was “largely encouraged” by the senators’ proposal and that it mentioned agriculture twice. Craig Regelbrugge of the American Landscape and Nursery Association said “it is essential that experienced farm workers are incentivized to continue working in the sector.” The framework also said reform would include “a workable program to meet the needs of America’s agricultural industry, including dairy, to find agricultural workers when American workers are not available.” Under the farm coalition proposal, undocumented workers who agree to work in agricultural jobs for several more years would obtain permanent legal status and the right to work wherever they choose. The coalition would replace the H2-A guest worker program with a system of seasonal and full-year visas. The bipartisan group said it aims to convert its guidelines into legislation by March and to send it to the House of Representatives later this year. “We believe this is the year Congress finally gets it done,” said Democratic senator Charles Schumer from New York. The last major attempt at U.S. immigration reform was in 2007. Estimates say there are 11 million illegal immigrants in the country. The Farm Bureau, which is the largest U.S. farm group, has urged a new immigration law, and U.S. agriculture secretar y Tom Vilsack has encouraged the farm sector to speak up for comprehensive reform.

AND SAVE BEFORE MARCH

HAMBURG, Germany (Reuters) — A blanket of snow is protecting grain and rapeseed crops from bitter frosts in leading European Union producers France and Germany, but there is serious concern about weather damage to the British crop, analysts said. British farmers are already braced for poor wheat and rapeseed harvests this year, with some of the wettest weather on record preventing farmers from sowing crops and leaving many plants in poor condition. “As things stand now, French and German grains and rapeseed are doing fine, but the British problems could have a significant impact on the 2013 harvest and trade flows,” one German trader said. “But we still have over two months in which major frost damage can take place,” he added. In France, the EU’s largest wheat producer and exporter, frosts are not causing concern due to thick snow cover.

“The current cold wave presents low risks for well-rooted wheat,” said Jean-Charles Deswarte of French crop institute Arvalis. Private weather forecasters said the current cold wave in France could be ended by a return to milder temperatures next week. “Wheat plants are not overdeveloped like last year so are more likely to resist cold weather,” Deswarte said. “Cumulative temperatures (this winter) are near seasonal averages.” In rapeseed, for which France and Germany compete for the number one EU producer position, the picture remains mixed between French regions. In most cases, the plants developed late and are small. In its first sowing estimates for the 2013 harvest in December, the ministry put the winter rapeseed area at 3.68 million acres, down 7.1 percent on 2012. The ministry estimated France’s winter wheat area up 2.8 percent at 12.25 million acres.

ROME, Italy (Reuters) — Governments must not let their guard down against avian flu because of financial constraints caused by the global economic crisis, says the Food and Agriculture Organization. The United Nations agency, one of three international bodies that lead the global response to bird flu, warned of a repeat of the 2006 outbreaks, when the highly pathogenic H5N1 virus killed 79 people around the world and sparked fears of a pandemic.

I see inaction in the face of very real threats to the health of animals and people. JUAN LUBROTH FAO CHIEF VETERINARY OFFICER

Investment was vital to prevent a repeat of such a crisis, it said. “I am worried because in the current climate, governments are unable to keep up their guard,” said FAO chief veterinary officer Juan Lubroth. “I see inaction in the face of very real threats to the health of animals and people.” Scientists fear avian flu, which is carried by water fowl and poultry and can be transmitted between birds and from birds to people, could cause a catastrophe if it mutates into something that can spread between humans. The virus has infected more than 600 people since it was first detected in Hong Kong in 1997 and is usually fatal. Bird deaths from the disease or culling cost economies $20 billion between 2003 and 2011, FAO said. The agency, whose task is to coordinate the global response to outbreaks of avian flu in animals, said progress has been made in fighting the virus, but outbreaks continue to occur in Asia and the Middle East. The FAO also warned against a growing threat from peste des petits ruminants (PPR), a highly contagious disease that can decimate flocks of sheep and goats, and is expanding in sub-Saharan Africa. A vaccine against the disease is available, but tight finances, a lack of political will and poor planning mean PPR continues to spread, the agency warned.

COMMODITY TRADING | CHICAGO

CME supports trading halt during issue of ag reports Exchange also agrees to reduce trading hours CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — CME Group has said it will reduce the nearly non-stop trading cycle for its U.S. grain and oilseed markets, and supported a trading halt at all exchanges during the release of major agricultural reports. CME, which owns the Chicago Board of Trade, said it had not yet determined exactly what its new trading hours will be. Just eight months ago, the exchange operator upended the grain industry by increasing electronic hours to 21 hours a day from 17 hours a day to fend off competition from its rival, Intercontinental Exchange. The longer cycle kept futures and options markets for crops like corn, wheat and soybeans open for the first time during the release of key monthly reports from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which often cause sharp swings in prices. Traders formerly had two hours to analyze the reports before trading resumed and some have called on CME to pause trading so they can digest such data. “CME Group understands the frustration of many of our customers,” CME wrote in a letter to traders. “We would support a halt, as long as it was unified for all venues.” ICE on Jan. 29 vowed to keep its markets open for crop reports. CME launched a survey asking customers whether trading hours should be reduced. It decided to trim hours before the survey period ends on Jan. 30. The exchange operator said it will review alternatives for the reduced schedule and release more details in the coming weeks. Traders for months had complained the longer cycle was spreading out volume, reducing liquidity and increasing volatility. They had circulated a petition asking CME to shorten the hours, noting the threat from ICE turned out to be mostly hollow. “I guess we won,” said P.J. Quaid, an independent broker in the corn options pit, who had supported a shorter cycle. Quaid said some of his customers had stopped trading because the longer cycle had increased the risk of maintaining positions in the markets.

2001 with the goal of liberalizing trade and helping developing countries prosper. However, it has since stalled. “Doha is either dead or dying, depending if you are a pessimist or an optimist,” former Canadian WTO agriculture negotiator Mike Gifford told a recent agricultural economists’ trade conference in Ottawa. The result is a proliferation of regional trade negotiations that undermine the WTO goal of setting rules and obligations that are applicable to all of the organization’s almost 160 members. At the conference, Canadian agriculture and food sector leaders who have been strong supporters of a WTO deal were on the “pessimistic” side of Gifford’s equation. “The discussions around Doha now just seem periphery,” Canadian Meat Council chair Ray Price said. “We are still working toward a WTO outcome, but we have to get on these other (regional) buses as well.” He said “nobody is talking about Doha” when he travels to Asian markets where Canadian meat exporters want access. Martin Rice, executive director of the Canadian Pork Council and a regular lobbyist at WTO, said he sees little hope for a Doha agreement, although the WTO itself remains an important arbiter of existing trade rules and disputes. “I have lost faith,” he said in an interview. “WTO is where you talk about subsidies and trade barriers and I think the crash of 2009 tested the existing system and it stood up in terms of holding onto rules of origin and holding onto existing infrastructure, but to get much beyond that seems impossible.” He said it makes it more attractive for many export sectors to embrace regional negotiations that produce faster but more limited results. Rice said there seems little incentive to finish a deal now in light of significant differences between countries and blocs, particularly if member countries did not see a WTO trade liberalizing deal as a solution to the 2009 economic recession. Meanwhile, WTO officials continue to plan for a December ministerial negotiating meeting in Bali and WTO members are in the process of choosing a new director general. Pascal Lamy leaves Aug. 31 after two terms. Last week, nine candidates nominated for the job by their governments made pitches to WTO members over three days. New Zealand’s Tim Groser, a veteran politician and WTO ambassador, told delegates that even “modest results” in Bali will help keep the Doha Round alive. He is the only developed country candidate. The others are from Ghana, Costa Rica, Indonesia, Kenya, Jordan, Mexico, Korea and Brazil. However, he conceded that the organization is in trouble after 11 years of negotiating with no concrete results.

FARMTECH | MALTING BARLEY

Prepare for roller-coaster prices, volatility: malt buyer New pricing era | Under the CWB export monopoly, prices were stable but in an open market prices will be demand driven STORIES BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

EDMONTON — Alberta’s malting barley producers will see higher prices but more volatility in Canada’s new open market, says a malting barley buyer. “The market will go up and down as end users try to secure the quantities they need,” said Derek Prell, director of procurement for Malteurop North America. “It is going to be demand driven. We as industry only need so much barley in a year.” Unlike the more even prices seen during the CWB era, maltsters will now use higher prices to signal demand for malting barley directly to farmers. “If we need barley, we’ll see prices go up,” he told farmers at FarmTech

2013. The North Amer ican malting industry will provide stable but limited demand and premiums to growers. It will likely mirror U.S. style markets with more grower contracts to ensure industry supply. The highest prices will continue to be offered by North American maltsters looking to fill local demand, while the rest of the malting barley crop will be sold into lower-priced export markets. “Globally, North America has some of the highest priced malting barley in the world.” Alberta prices are $30 to $35 per tonne higher than what Australia sells its malt barley for, he said. Prell doesn’t expect the North American malting barley market to grow beyond existing capacity. It is sized for

the amount of beer produced. Alberta barley producers are better positioned to take advantage of the new malting barley era than farmers in Saskatchewan and Manitoba. The province’s proximity to West Coast ports, its two malting plants and the southern Alberta cattle feeding industry, all work to prop up malting barley prices and bring premiums to producers. In Manitoba, malting barley has become a niche crop next to corn and soybeans. Prell said farmers who expect to capture premium malting prices need to begin with seeding malting varieties.

Long gone are the days of growing a feed barley for the yield and capturing a malting premium by chance, he added. “A malting barley is a very unique crop and it needs to be treated as such.” Prell said producers must have continual contact with maltsters and grain buyers as they look for the best premium for their malting barley. The best premiums will likely come from contracting the crop in advance, he added. “It is the best opportunity to gain a portion of the premium out there.” Prell said maltsters and brewers will continue to buy mostly Metcalfe

and Copeland varieties of malting barley, which Canadians grow. “People are forced to come to the Canadian market and buy what they need.” Prell said North America will continue to be a limited player in the world barley market trade. The European Union, Australia and Argentina are the primary suppliers of export malting barley. Argentina, which is traditionally a soybean growing area, is the new player in the industry. Prell said producers found that barley works well in their two crop rotation, and production has increased tremendously over the past 10 years.

FARMTECH | ECONOMY

Alberta analyst predicts sustained ag growth EDMONTON — Agriculture will be one of the bright lights in Alberta’s economy in the coming year, an economist told a meeting at Edmonton’s FarmTech. Todd Hirsch, senior chief economist with ATB Financial, said that agricultural prices are expected to remain strong over the next few years, unlike the oil and gas industry with its dropping prices. “2013 could be another very good year in agriculture in this province,” Hirsch said. “It is fair to say agriculture is seeing an upswing.” Hirsch said he doesn’t believe strong agricultural prices will be a one-year event. Rather, agriculture will see a reversal of its 30-year gradual decline. “Agriculture is going to be a growing contributor to Alberta’s economy.” Hirsch said dropping oil and gas prices will continue to hurt Alberta’s economy. Prices for oil produced in Alberta are $30 to $40 a barrel, considerably less than the West Texas Intermediate price of $90 to $95 a barrel. Alberta prices have always been discounted because the province’s oil needs more upgrading and must be transported farther. However, the traditional $10 to $20

differential has become significantly wider in the last six months. “This is a problem for Alberta producers and the Alberta government at this price. They are receiving a weak price at the moment,” said Hirsch. “To get world price, it is an advantage to get it to a sea port and ship it on tankers.” Plans for proposed pipelines south to the Gulf Coast, west to Vancouver and Kitimat, north to Alaska and east to Churchill have all been discussed, but none have been approved. “It’s unclear if we are going to be able to get our product to market. It could throw Alberta’s economy into a tail spin.” In brighter news, Alberta’s forestry sector has started to recover after several years of decline. “The 2013 fortunes in Alberta’s forestry sector have turned around. They’re the best prices in years,” said Hirsch, who pointed to strong demand for lumber in the Canadian and U.S. housing market. “Forestry is one of the bright lights at the moment.” Hirsch said the Canadian economy isn’t strong enough for the Bank of Canada to raise interest rates, despite the highlights of Alberta’s agriculture and forestry sector.

Alberta producer finds savings in soybeans New rotation | Pedigreed seed grower has success with the alternative crop in southern Alberta BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

EDMONTON — It may be a few years before soybeans are a common sight across Alberta, but the crop has already revolutionized one southern Alberta farm. Pedigreed seed producer Patrick Fabian said after a few false starts, soybeans are now a permanent part of the rotation in his 800 acres of irrigated crops near Tilley, Alta. “Soybeans are a wonderful crop,” Fabian told farmers at FarmTech 2013. He said it is the last crop seeded and the last crop harvested. The plants don’t shell out, lodge, lie down or fall over. No fancy seeding or harvesting equipment is required and the beans are easy to market, he added. “They will be waiting there for you when you get around to harvest.” Fabian planted his first six acres in 2004 and figured out over the next few years what varieties grow best on his southern Alberta farm and what weed control works best in his irrigated fields. Fabian turned his farm into an unofficial research farm, testing varieties and weed control options. He learned that varieties that grow well in Manitoba don’t do well on his farm.

There are lots of opportunities ahead. They are part of my rotation from this point forward. PATRICK FABIAN PEDIGREED SEED PRODUCER

Alberta farmers were growing 6,000 acres of the nitrogen-fixing legume by 2010, but cool, wet weather that year created a production nightmare with poor yields. “2010 is when all the naysayers said, ‘I told you so. Soybeans don’t work in southern Alberta.’ ” Acreage dropped to 700 acres the following year. However, farmers saw yields of 25 to 60 bushels per acre last year with new Roundup Ready varieties. With strong yields and a new option for rotation, Fabian believes more than 6,000 acres of soybean will be grown in Alberta in the upcoming year.

Patrick Fabian predicts more than 6,000 acres of soybeans will be grown in Alberta in 2013. He first grew the crop in 2004 and has since experimented with different varieties on his farm in southern Alberta. | FILE PHOTO “I think it will be an exciting time,” he said. “There are lots of opportunities ahead. They are part of my rotation from this point forward.” Fabian’s alternative crop in his rotation was alfalfa before growing soybeans, but it was hard to harvest two cuts of alfalfa without rain devaluing

the hay. “I raised alfalfa for 26 years. I only had three years that I had a good first and second cut. Every other year had rain damage,” he said. “These things allowed me to get rid of $200,000 equipment for cutting and baling and stacking mouldy alfalfa.”

U n l i k e c o r n , s oy b e a n s d o n ’ t require special seeding and harvesting equipment and don’t need nitrogen while seeding. The legumes produce all the nitrogen they need as long as they are properly inoculated. “Soybeans are gaining traction in Alberta.”

WINDOW WATCHING

Grain commission continues job cuts 300 new layoffs | Restructuring continues with cuts to grain inspection and weighing staff BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The Canadian Grain Commission will eliminate approximately 300 positions over the next six months as a result of a massive reorganization. Commission spokesperson Remi Gosselin said all affected CGC employees should receive notices by March 2013. Workforce adjustments will be completed by Aug. 1. The job cuts will affect 230 full-time equivalent (FTE) positions involved primarily in grain inspection and w e i g h i n g . S e v e n t y o t h e r s a re involved in administration, support and research. The inspection cuts will occur across the country, including Vanc o u v e r, P r i n c e R u p e r t , B . C . , Churchill, Man., Thunder Bay, Ont., Chatham, Ont., Montreal and Quebec City. Administrative cuts will occur mostly in Winnipeg, where the commission is headquartered. The restructuring will see the grain commission’s workforce reduced by nearly 43 percent by August from 700 to 400 FTEs Gosselin said some affected employees will have the opportunity to move to other positions within the public service. “Most of the impacted positions … are in port locations, so we’re looking at inspection and weighing staff,” he said. “But there are some positions as well in Winnipeg … that will be impacted. “I don’t have specific numbers in terms of geographical locations or work units … because we haven’t had the opportunity to meet with all affected staff.… Before we have that opportunity, we are not going to dis-

close publicly which geographical locations and work units are specifically being impacted.” Staff reductions at the grain commission are the result of legislative changes to the Canada Grain Act and pending changes to the commission’s fee structure, which are expected to be in place before the beginning of the 2013-14 crop year. The changes will eliminate inward weighing and inspections, remove the grain appeals tribunal, discontinue elevator weigh-overs and introduce a new producer security payment program. Judith Monteith-Farrell, regional representative for the Public Service Alliance of Canada, said affected grain commission workers based in Thunder Bay will be receiving notices from the federal government within the next week or two. She said 50 full-time positions will be affected at Thunder Bay as well as 20 part-time or term positions that have already been eliminated. Full-time employees will have the option of taking a one-time, lump sum settlement based on years of service, she added. Commission employees with 20 years of service will qualify for 52 weeks of pay. Employees with 35 years of service will qualify for 34 weeks of pay because they are closer to retirement. Most weighers and inspectors affected by the cuts earned $21 to $25 per hour. “These are good middle class jobs.… They don’t pay a lot but they pay (enough to allow workers) to raise a family and buy a house,” said Monteith-Farrell. “Having that kind of (earning power) taken out of our community … will have a large impact.”

INTERNATIONAL LIVESTOCK CONGRESS | TRADE

Americans debate what traceability system will look like Identification information | Opinions differ on what U.S. livestock producers need to satisfy demands of international customers BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

DENVER, Colo. — The argument over animal identification in the United States isn’t letting up. There is agreement that a system is needed, but the debate continues over what kind of identification is acceptable and who will manage and store the data, said Leann Saunders of IMI Global Inc., a private data collection company. “When we look at our major trading partners and our customers who rely on them for business, Japan, Mexico and Korea, they have more requirements around animal identification,” she told the International Livestock Congress in Denver Jan. 15. However, industry players question what kind of identification might

work and how much traceability international customers want. Mark Gustafson, who is responsible for exports with JBS at Greely, Colorado, said customers are shocked that the United States doesn’t have a full system. However, he said American suppliers can find cattle that carry traceability information if specific customers request it. He doesn’t believe the entire American beef herd needs to have such a system. “Almost every country in the world has some degree of traceability,” he said. “Australia, in my opinion, has probably the most sophisticated traceability program of all of our competition.” China has 22 technical conditions, including traceability, if the U.S. hopes to regain that market.

Companies that supply beef for branded programs have developed traceability systems, and some players argue that a private rather than government mandated approach is more useful. A private system can be audited and those who join a branded program understand it is one of the requirements. Agri Beef, a Washington state based company that includes cow-calf, feedlots and a processor, has developed branded beef programs and acknowledges that traceability protects the brands even if customers don’t request it. “Throughout our entire system, we have invested significant amounts of money for traceability,” said Rick Stott of Agri Beef. “We have traceability in our feed-

lots. We understand every animal that has been treated. We know where every animal is at every point in time.” He said it has become a cost saving in terms of animal health, carcass merit and selection. “ The customer really doesn’t demand it, but we know there is value to it,” he said. International customers may request it, but domestic customers rarely do. “ No n e o f o u r c u s t o m e r s a r e clamouring to know. That demand does not exist in the consumer market today,” Stott said. John Butler of the Beef Marketing Group, a consortium of 16 feeding operations in Nebraska and Kansas, supports a privately run and third party audited system that is account-

able to shareholders. “Our chance of success is going to be private,” he said. Consumers probably assume traceability exists, he added, but the reality is that it isn’t available for many products. “Any of the branded programs we are involved in, traceability is a given,” Butler said. The federal government continues to push for a system to provide 48 hour traceability in the event of a disease. A final rule on animal disease traceability was published in the federal register and should go into effect March 11. Animals must be accompanied by an interstate certificate of veterinary inspection or other documentation, such as owner-shipper statements or brand certificates.

Black carbon major cause of climate change: report

B.C. farmer Nick Parsons says sacrificing Peace River Valley land for a hydro dam would be “destruction beyond imagination.” |

WHERE IS HE NOW? | ACTIVIST

Farmer still fighting for his ideals Driving change | Nick Parsons drove his combine from B.C. to Ottawa to highlight agricultural issues BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

FARMINGTON, B.C. — British Columbia farmer and activist Nick Parsons may have parked his combine, but he hasn’t stopped the protest. The farmer who drove his combine from northern B.C. to Victoria in 1998 and to Ottawa in 2000 to raise awareness of the struggles of farmers has turned his attention to stopping BC Hydro’s Site C dam on the Peace River. “I feel so strongly about this valley and river that I would put my neck on the line,” said Parsons. Talk of building a third hydroelectric dam on the Peace River, next to Parsons’ farm, has been discussed in B.C.’s Peace River region since he emigrated from England 20 years ago. This time, the possibility of construction appears real. “Stopping the dam is the most important thing in my life today. It’s more important than anything else. I believe it is so wrong,” said Parsons, who considers the Peace River one of the most beautiful spots in Canada with its rugged hills and slow moving water. “You cannot put a value on the loss of a beautiful valley.… What are our descendents going to think of that mess? It’s destruction beyond imagination.” Slightly more than 63,000 people live in B.C.’s Peace River area, and Parsons believes Site C would not be allowed if the Peace River was in the more populated south. “We’re a small group of people up here in the north. The perception in Vancouver is that this is almost permafrost up here.” The Peace River region is rugged, but its long days and river valley microclimate means fields along the river are capable of growing a wide variety of crops, from water-

melon to corn. With growing concerns about food security, Parsons believes it would be short sighted to flood the few areas in northern B.C. capable of growing long season fruits and vegetables. “I think the time will come when food from down south will not be as readily available as it is today. I think we have to be semi sustainable.” Parsons believes the loss of good land for 100 years of electricity is a short-sighted political move that needs to be stopped. “In the length of this world, that’s just a blink and they’re willing to sacrifice all this beautiful land and the valley and all that goes with it just for 100 years of electricity.” BC Hydro estimates the dam would be a source of clean, reliable. cost-effective electricity for more than 100 years. It’s estimated the dam would provide enough energy to power the equivalent of 450,000 homes per year in B.C. With a natural gas boom in northern B.C. and new technological

leaps, Parsons believes the government and BC Hydro should be looking at other ways to generate electricity rather than putting a third dam on the Peace River. For Parsons, stopping the Site C dam has the same value as his farm. “My energy would be 50 percent the farm and 50 percent toward saving the valley.” Parsons’ determination became known across Canada when he drove his Massey Ferguson 860 combine, the Prairie Belle, from northern B.C. to Ottawa to raise awareness of the tough times in agriculture. Like other farm families, the Parsons almost lost the farm in 2000 after a series of bad crops from excess rain and low grain prices. With nothing to lose and plenty of attention focused on agriculture, Parsons set off for Ottawa in the combine. Looking back, Parsons believes his 4,000 kilometre trip made a difference to agriculture. Once he left the Peace River area and headed east, the combine was always filled with fuel by strangers and he was given food and lodging along the way. More importantly, he was constantly thanked, hugged or given a handshake by other farmers. “The support I had has to be the number one memory,” he said. “You were never alone, especially when they know you’re trying to help the industry.”

IN 2000, NICK PARSONS TRAVELLED 4,000 KILOMETRES ON PRAIRIE BELLE AND MET WITH PRIME MINISTER JEAN CHRETIEN

As Parsons got closer to Ottawa, the possibility of meeting prime minister Jean Chretien seemed remote. There seemed to be a lack of awareness of agriculture troubles in the capital, he added. In the end, it was Liberal MP Wayne Easter who arranged for Parsons to have a drink with Chretien at 24 Sussex Drive. “He thanked me for going and thanked me for doing what I was doing,” Parsons said about Chretien. His trip may have made a difference. The following year, the federal and provincial agriculture ministers met in Whitehorse to sign the agriculture policy framework agreement. Parsons’ Prairie Belle found a permanent home at a museum in Wadena, Sask. In 2009, a newer combine, the Peace Valley Rose, was driven around the Peace River area to protest the Site C dam. That combine has also been retired and is kept at Ken and Arlene Boon’s farm outside Fort St. John. The combine harvests crops that help fund the Site C protest. Parsons said it’s hard to tell if his combine trips made an impact on agriculture or will stop construction of the dam. “I don’t know if it works or not. I hope it works. I don’t know.” He sold some of his land a few years ago and became debt free. With only 500 acres to seed and harvest, Parsons is free to devote time to opposing the Site C project and running his farm with little stress. “As long as my health remains good, I plan to just carry on my 500 acres and do the best I can with my old equipment. The days are gone when I yearn to buy something new. Once you start buying, you’re on a treadmill,” he said. “I don’t want to be a rich man. You haven’t got to be a rich man in this world to be a good man.”

WASHINGTON, D.C. (Reuters) — Black carbon is a more potent atmospheric pollutant than previously thought, according to a four-year international study. The soot, which is produced by burning fossil fuels and biomass, is second only to carbon dioxide as the most powerful climate pollutant, according to the study published in the Journal of Geophysical ResearchAtmospheres. However, black carbon lasts in the atmosphere only a matter of days, compared to carbon dioxide’s atmospheric endurance of centuries. As a result, addressing it could be a prime target for curbing global warming. “This new research provides further compelling evidence to act on short-lived climate pollutants, including black carbon,” said Achim Steiner, chief of the United Nations’ Environment Programme. Steiner pointed to efforts underway to reduce black carbon emissions from heavy-duty diesel vehicles, brick production and municipal waste disposal as part of the international Climate and Clean Air Coalition. The United States was one of the coalition’s founders last year. In mid-December, the U.S. Enviro n m e nt a l P ro t e c t i o n A g e n c y tightened limits on soot pollution from power plants, diesel engines and burning wood from levels set in 1997. The report found black carbon’s effect on climate is nearly twice what the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change estimated in its landmark 2007 assessment. At that time, climate scientists ranked black carbon third behind carbon dioxide and methane. The new research, conducted by a multinational team of 31 experts, moves black carbon up in the ranking. The new assessment found that black carbon emissions caused significantly higher warming over the Arctic and other regions, could affect rainfall patterns, including those of the Asian monsoon system, and have led to rapid warming in the northern U.S., Canada, northern Europe and northern Asia. “Black carbon is not only more important for climate than we thought, it also kills over a million people every year who contract deadly respiratory diseases by breathing air polluted by black carbon,” said Durwood Zaelke, president of the Washington-based non-profit Institute for Governance and Sustainable Development and a reviewer of the study before its publication. The study was published four days after the U.S. released a draft assessment of the climate, finding that the consequences of climate change are now evident in U.S. health, infrastructure, water supply, agriculture and especially more frequent severe weather. The report followed a U.S. announcement that found 2012 was the hottest year on record in the contiguous United States, with thousands of individual weather records shattered.

Up to 20 percent horse meat | Irish burger maker says it never knowingly used the meat DUBLIN, Ireland (Reuters) — Beef containing horse DNA that was supplied by an Irish company to major food companies originated in Poland, says Ireland’s agriculture department. The British food industry has been rocked by the revelation retailers sold beef products that contained horse DNA, a scandal that has also left Ireland’s $2.6 billion beef industry reeling. Results of tests showed that Polish ingredients used by Irish burger manufacturer Silvercrest contained 4.1 percent horse DNA, the agricul-

ture department said in a statement. It said further tests of the Polish ingredient showed up to 20 percent horse DNA content relative to beef, confirming the raw material from Poland to be the source of equine DNA content in certain burgers. Tests on samples taken from Irish food ingredients were negative for equine DNA, and agriculture minister Simon Coveney said the results maintained the integrity of Irish food production. Burger King, one of the most popular fast food chains in Britain and

Ireland, said it had stopped using Silvercrest’s products. There was no horse DNA found in products sold by Burger King. In retail stores Smaller retail chains Aldi and Iceland have also sold beef products found to contain horse DNA. Silvercrest’s parent company, ABP Foods, reiterated the plant had never knowingly sold equine products and that it would appoint a new management team, independently audit

third party suppliers and source all future raw material from Britain and Ireland. Tesco, which withdrew from sale all products supplied by Silvercrest, said in a statement the source of horse DNA identified by the department correlated with the results of its own investigations at the plant. Food safety experts say horse DNA poses no added health risks to consumers, but the discovery has raised concerns about the food supply chain and the ability to trace meat ingredients.

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Two prairie Conservatives were among five senators appointed Jan. 25 by prime minister Stephen Harper, expanding the Conservative grip on the upper chamber. Regina lawyer Denise Batters, widow of former Conservative MP Dave Batters, and Calgary lawyer Doug Black were appointed to a job that can last until they are 75, although both have agreed to support government legislation to limit Senate terms and encourage provinces to hold elections to select future senators. Black was the leading Alberta senator-in-waiting after a non-binding province-wide vote held last year as part of the provincial election. He replaces long-time Liberal senator Joyce Fairbairn, who retired in mid-January because of ill health. Conservatives now hold 65 of 105 Senate seats with more coming vacant later this year. The NDP quickly condemned the appointments as a “golden handshake” for Conservative supporters in violation of Harper’s earlier opposition to appointments to an unelected Senate. “The unelected and unaccountable senators will collect a total of $661,500 next year in salary, not to mention costs for assistants and free travel in Canada,” said a party news release. However, the opposition did not single out Batters for criticism. Her husband, who was elected in 2006, struggled with depression and committed suicide in 2009 at age 39. Harper gave an emotional address at his funeral about the impact of mental health issues on families. The biography of Denise Batters issued by the Prime Minister’s Office noted that she is a “strong supporter and champion of mental health and suicide prevention.” She sponsors charity golf tournaments that have raised $50,000 for advertisements about depression and suicide. The statement said her husband “fought anxiety and depression.”

Consumers remain wary of livestock technology Technological tools boost supply | Cautious attitudes blamed on well-fed populations in developed countries BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

DENVER, Colo. — Producers have increased beef supplies using growth promoting hormones, medications, better feed and improved genetics, but not all consumers are comfortable with the technology. “We are not afraid of having enough to eat, so the majority of the population thinks today we are able to produce without any modern technology, for example GMOs or growth hormones,” says Guillaume Roue, a

French pork producer and vicepresident of the International Meat Secretariat. He said France exports 30 percent of its pork production, but the public doesn’t know that or appreciate the need for open markets or access to technological improvements. “If we do not have the modern technology and our competitors do, I am afraid we will be out of business very quickly,” he told the International Livestock Congress in Denver Jan. 15. The congress debated the need for more technology to feed a popula-

tion of nine billion people in 2050. It was agreed technology and science are key components to boosting the food supply, but communicating that message to modern consumers is increasingly difficult. Hsin Huang, general secretary of the meat secretariat, said the meat sector faces complex challenges. “Science, technology and better management practices have provided us with the luxury of cheap, abundant food. There is so much of it we waste a lot of it,” he said. “We don’t put a high enough value on it.”

Consumer studies show most Americans still eat beef, but a new generation called the millennials, who were born after 1980, are unsure about cooking it and are raising questions about growth hormones and antibiotic use. “I worry about the level of trust they have for our product,” said John Lundeen, director of market research for the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association. Millennials were raised on ground beef but shy away from steaks and roasts. They are not sure how to cook

them and worry about cost as they struggle to make ends meet in a poor economy. Consumers continue to seek a balance in their diet and many still have protein as the centre of their meals, but in recent years they have chosen chicken or fish rather than beef. It’s challenging to tell these people about cooking and to explain livestock production practices to them. Lundeen said the traditional media tends to present a positive story about beef and food production, but social media tends to have a more negative tone in its reporting about animal rights, food safety, livestock’s impact on the environment and the nutritional value of beef. His research has found that those who regularly eat beef are generally not interested in seeing production practices. “We don’t need to get into this indepth information with the beef lover,” he said. Lundeen said consumers who are dubious about eating beef are reassured when they learn more about how it is produced, but most information should be provided on an as-needed basis. More than half of those surveyed say they can accept the use of medications if the animal is sick and a veterinarian has prescribed them. Others reject the use of hormones. “We have got to figure out how to do a better job talking about hormones in the context of animal health and that they do not harm public health,” he said. He believes the best way to deal with problems that arise with beef is to emphasize the industry’s attempts at continuous improvement, whether it is for animal welfare, health or food safety. Huang said the industry has to communicate what it does and how it fits in with what the modern consumer wants. “Unfortunately, people are influenced more and more by the noise that is out there, particularly social media,” he said. It is harder to find a balanced picture about food, he added. “There is a real perception out there within government and key opinion leaders that producing beef is harmful for the environment and affects our climate and has a negative impact on our health,” Huang said. Telling people to trust science is not always the best approach because of disagreement over its interpretation. “Europeans tend to take a cautious approach, saying unforeseen problems could ar ise in the future because science overlooked something,” he said.

Agencies pledge $109M to gene preservation Funding proposal | Canadian contribution to plant sample preservation project is under review BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

A consortium of international agencies has announced a $109 million five-year fund to sustain the massive collection of plant samples preserved in gene banks around the world. More than 700,000 plant samples are preserved at 11 CGIAR Consortium storage sites, including a wheat variety gene collection in Saskatoon. The project’s goal is to make genetics available to plant researchers or farmers trying to create new or hardier varieties as climate and weather conditions change or new diseases appear. However, after a decade of support for the project, Canada has yet to decide if it will continue funding. “The proposal is currently under review and therefore we cannot comment,” said an email message from the Canadian International Development Agency Jan. 31. Last week, Global Crop Diversity Trust executive director Aslaug Marie Haga from Norway was in Ottawa

thanking the Canadian government for a decade of support and asking for future contributions. “I am here to thank Canada because Canadian money pledged in 2003 has been very instrumental for this organization,” she said. “I also am here to discuss future funding.” She left without a commitment but said she was hopeful. In 2003, the Canadian government made a 10-year pledge of $1 million annually to the trust to help rescue plant varieties and genomics in danger of being lost as world agriculture

increasingly depends on a shrinking pool of genomic traits to create highyielding varieties. Haga said Canadian funding was instrumental in a project to collect 90,000 crop variety samples during the past decade for storage in gene banks run by the CGIAR Research Program for Managing and Sustaining Crop Collections. “It is the biggest rescue program ever,” she said. “It went a long way (to preserving most of the world’s plant gene pool).” Haga said a number of countries

are funding the $109 million fiveyear commitment with an eye on future crop variety challenges. “One of the most important tasks is preparing for climate change and making sure that with temperatures warming, we are creating crops that are tolerant to drought,” she said. The likelihood of increasing pest problems and the need for crops that can adapt to sometimes-excessive moisture also are looming problems. She said thousands of varieties now being grown by farmers around the

Sask. NDP prepares to vote for new leader BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

More than 11,000 Saskatchewan residents are eligible to vote in the upcoming NDP leadership contest. The deadline to buy a membership was Jan. 25. The party said the number was up from 8,000 last year. However, there are 3,000 fewer voters than there were during the 2009 leadership convention that elected Dwain Lingenfelter. And the numbers are well off the 40,000 of 20 years ago. Party president Cory Oxelgren said he is encouraged by the number of young people who have recently joined the party. “I’m particularly excited by the fact that membership in the Young New Democrats has increased by more than 350 percent,” he said. He also said memberships have come in from around the province. A series of leadership debates with the four candidates — Cam Broten, Ryan Meili, Erin Weir and Trent Wotherspoon — concludes Feb. 16 in Saskatoon. The final vote will be held March 9 during the Saskatoon convention. Members can vote by preferential ballot in advance by mail, phone or online through a link on the party website that was expected to go live Feb. 4. They can also vote in person, by phone or online in real time during the convention. John Nilson, a Regina MLA, has been serving as interim leader. Broten and Wotherspoon already have seats in the legislature.

BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Tribine combine has a 1,000 bushel hopper and yet treads lightly in the field, even when fully loaded with wet grain. It can also empty in two minutes. Indiana farmer Ben Dillon believes his Tribine is what the future of threshing looks like. “The first job I had when I came back to the farm was to run a grain cart at harvest,” said the former economist, who brought his 35 foot long combine and seed cart system to the Ag Connect farm technology show in Kansas City last week. “I sat there and watched underutilized assets track up a field.” The big, orange machine attracted some of the largest crowds at the show. Farmers reacted positively to Dillon’s explanation that it could yield a four fold return on investment in the life of the machine. The Tribine removes a Gleaner S77, Class 7 combine from its rear wheels and attaches a custom designed grain cart with a driven, steered rear axle that tracks in the same path as the threshing unit. “Typically what happens on most farms is the cart races back and forth trying to keep the combines empty enough to keep going,” he said. “Between that and straight trucks and semi-trailers being tracked through a field, there is no end of damage to the soil.… And it’s a waste of fuel and labour.” Dillon said the combine can run for up to 45 minutes without unloading in a good crop of small cereals. “In heavy corn, right now we only get about 15 minutes and we’re full and sitting,” he said. “For the cost of a combine and a grain cart, you can eliminate the expense of a grain cart, tractor and driver. And the damage you do to your fields is harder to quantify, but every farmer knows what he sees out t h e re w h e n i t c o m e s t o w h e e l tracks.” Randy Raper, a soil scientist at Oklahoma State University, agreed. “We’ve studied this and studied this. By the time you get through harvest, more than 80 percent of most farm fields have seen a set of tires. And the load on those tires wasn’t little,” Raper said. “And harvest can do the most damage. Yield losses can be substantial.” The machine Dillon brought to Ag Connect is his fourth prototype. “We haven’t had a major change in the basic technology in harvesting equipment in 40 years,” he said. “Not that the self propelled combine wasn’t a good idea, but it wasn’t the answer.” Thomas Herlizius of Dresden Uni-

You have to evaluate what your goals are and make the processes match them. THOMAS HERLIZIUS JOHN DEERE ENGINEER

versity agreed the self propelled combine technology is due for a change. “There is a life cycle for agricultural technologies. Major changes come in and revolutionize practices and equipment. Harvesting is due really soon. Combines at best operate at 50 percent efficiency — a big investment to have operate at a diminished capacity,” said the German engineer with 15 years of machinery design experience at John Deere. “You have to evaluate what your goals are and make the processes match them.” Dillon’s previous machines included versions that married a grain cart to a combine and put the cart and combine on tracks. That machine ran on his farm near Logansport, Indiana, for four seasons. The articulated machine relies on four, four-inch hydraulic rams to make the Tribine track and turn. The unit pivots at the back of the combine and at the rear axle, allowing it to steer traditionally or crab over for extremely tight turns. “We don’t change anything about the grain processing system. That technology wasn’t broken,” he said. “We take the grain off at the clean grain and send it into the cart.” The full-time four-wheel drive cart rests on a second Gleaner S77 front axle with beefier hubs to handle the extra weight of the grain. The drive is load sensing and shares the work symmetrically. The 22 inch unload auger will empty the machine in two minutes. The auger, the rear axle, twin sets of steering cylinders, the fourspeed hydrostatic transmission and straw spreaders are all driven hydraulically. “I didn’t want to put all that onto the existing pump, so we added pumps for each major role,” Dillon said. An additional oil cooler was also installed to ensure the machine’s hydraulics keep their cool. The machine also features giant single terra tires. “We reduced the pressure the machine puts on the soil compared to a conventional combine, and reduced the tracking in the field,” he said. The big singles leave the machine 12 feet wide, narrower than many combines sporting duals. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

PRODUCTION CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE

Changes to the combine’s controls and cab were minimal. Four video cameras mean the operator can see from the end of the unload auger, into the grain tank and along each side of the Tribine. An electronic unloading-assist unit measures the distance to the truck for unloading and reports it to the operator, ensuring the truck position is correct. “If you don’t get the unloading right, you better have a bunch of folks armed with scoop shovels because it puts a lot of grain out the end of that auger pretty fast,” Dillon said. The Class 7, transverse rotary combine remains powered by a 370 horsepower Agco Power 84 AWI engine, but it is moved to the front of combine, where the stock 390 bushel combine hopper was previously located. “When we take it into production, I expect we might put a bigger engine in it, maybe about 500 h.p., but it really doesn’t need it except for maybe some tough conditions or hilly land where you might be unloading on the go,” he said. One of the remaining issues for the Tribine is straw chopping and spreading. The machine uses spreaders

mounted more vertically than in a combine and are located between the cart and the threshing unit. “In production, we can improve on that, but other than that, it is a highly effective system,” he said. Dillon and his sons don’t plan to produce the machine. Instead, they hope to attract partners who will build the unit. “I’m just a farmer. Building these for the market is the job of a machinery company,” he said. Will Thomas, a custom harvester from Texas, was impressed with what he saw. “With a few of these, we would still be using grain carts, but we’d use fewer and we could take all the grain at the ends of the fields. You don’t know how much that would save us in wear and tear, money and men,” he said. “I like that they didn’t mess with the grain processor. When folks

Versatile makes changes to lineup BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Bühler Versatile is increasing its mid-sized two wheel and front wheel drive assisted tractors to 305 horsepower and will release a new version of its self propelled sprayer. Paul Manaigre, Versatile’s director of engineering, told the American Society of Agricultural and Biotechnological Engineers’ annual technical agriculture meetings in Kansas City Jan. 28 that the company will release new tractor models over the coming year. As well, production of the higher horsepower line of 250, 280 and 305 h.p. machines has ended and the 190 and 220 models are ceasing. The company bought the struggling Red Ball sprayer assets a few years ago and re-released the self propelled sprayer under the Versatile name. Modifications included repowering with a Cummins engine. Versatile will now replace it with a new sprayer that features booms up to 120 feet and “the largest cab in the industry.” Manaigre said the company’s move to a full-line agricultural machinery manufacturer has resulted in a new approach to engineering and manufacturing. “We aren’t taking anything for granted, and with testing taking place in every part of the world that we sell into, our (research and development) spending is tripling.”

Is the product environmentally friendly or just greenwashing? ENERGY FIELD

WILL ODDIE

hose of you who are of sufficient age might remember whitewashing. It was made famous by Mark Twain’s character, Tom Sawyer, who, after playing hooky, receives the punishment of whitewashing a fence. Whitewash was like a paint and was used to uniformly cover up weathered wood, often roughboarded barns, transforming their appearance into something more pleasant. Over the years, the word whitewashing has also come to describe a cover-up or falsification of truth. More recently, the term greenwashing has come into vogue. It describes products that are purported to be green or better for the environment, but which on closer examination provide little benefit over non-green options. It is not easy to determine which things are green and which ones are greenwashed. Marketers know that most of us want to do the right thing for the

environment. Some companies genuinely make their products in an environmentally progressive way and rightfully want to tell us so. Others are less interested in real change and more interested in cashing in on our propensity to favour things that we believe are better choices. In some cases, the most suspicious products are those that are produced in the colour green or use the words “green,” “eco” or “natural” in their name. These products can include dish detergent, building insulation and all kinds of food products. They may in fact be better products or they may be different in name only. As beauty is only skin deep, so are some of these green claims. Products can also be more or less green depending on how strictly they are viewed. Is a hybrid car really more green because it uses 25 percent less fuel than a conventional vehicle, given that it is still an air-polluting vehicle? There are questions that consumers can ask when trying to determine whether a product is more environmentally sound: • Does a product take less energy and fewer resources in its production or in use? • Does it produce less waste and dangerous byproducts in its manufacturing, installation or use? • Does it save energy in its use and

how does that compare with the energy used in its manufacture? How much energy is involved in its transport? Is it safer for people who come into contact with it? What is the life cycle cost?

program for appliances is factual and rates appliances on their energy efficiency along a spectrum in ways that are easy to understand. The Forest Stewardship Council has provided certification to companies practicing auditable and sustainable forest management for many decades and with increasing acceptance. The products carry the FSC logo and are readily available in major stores. Consumers who buy a FSCcertified product know that the soil, wildlife, biodiversity and aboriginal rights were respected in its production. Buildings have the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program, which is a comprehensive checklist system used particularly for commercial buildings but also for housing and communities. LEED uses many criteria, including the site’s vicinity to public transit, reusing material already on site, the distance that construction products are moved to the site and the collection and use of water on site. The R-2000 and Build Green programs provide a measure of environmental accountability, while the PassivHaus system, which is new to North America, has a standard resulting in 80 percent less annual energy use than that used in conventionally built houses. It is important that public buildings meet strong minimum standards, particularly products that affect the health of people using those buildings, especially schools. For example, there are certification standards to ensure that materials don’t hurt air quality through off-gassing.

Commercial enterprises, particularly commercial construction, include professionals whose job is to ensure that products meet strict standards. It is more difficult for laypeople to determine the authenticity of a claim without significant and intensive research. As well, products and certification programs are constantly changing, meaning last year’s research may already be out of date. It might be useful if governments developed green standards, but they have been relatively inactive, except with building codes, and those are hardly leading the way. There are several reasons for government’s lack of involvement: other priorities, budget cuts, change in public policy regarding government’s role, and possibly just because things change too fast and in too many directions for governments to keep up. Green product claims require healthy skepticism and much scrutiny. Consumers who want to get answers are going to have to undertake due diligence and spend some time researching the products. The internet is a useful tool, as are the steady stream of publications and books that focus on products’ green status. Consumers must still be on guard against greenwashing, but with some effort they can be sure that they really are getting what they pay for when choosing more environmentally friendly products and services.

Pit stop fueling in the field Diesel hauling trailer | The system can fill a 300 gallon fuel tank in 10 minutes

KYLE HARWOOD THUNDER CREEK EQUIPMENT

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

BRANDON — Farmers go to great lengths during seeding, spraying and harvest to keep machines moving. H o w e v e r, r e l o a d i n g t h o s e machines with fuel tends to be slow. At harvest, the skid tank on the truck might be only marginally larger than the one on a large combine. Perhaps a 990 gallon diesel hauling trailer with a 40 gallon per minute pump would help keep field operations running more smoothly. That’s what the folks at Thunder Creek Equipment were thinking in 2009 when they began building diesel fuel trailers for farmers. The Iowa based company is in the heart of corn country, where farmers keep track of every valuable minute of machine time. Hundreds of dollars can go down the tube for every extra minute the planter tractor sits idle while fueling, particularly when the weather is closing in. Time wasted while fueling during spraying and harvest can be almost as costly, said Thunder Creek’s Kyle Harwood. He said Thunder Creek has hoped to solve the problem with its high volume fuel trailers. “Farmers know they’re wasting too much time pumping diesel and (diesel exhaust fluid). That’s how this trailer came about in the first place,” Harwood said. Modern tractors, sprayers and combines all have big fuel tanks and don’t usually run out of fuel. However, the time spent keeping fuel at a comfortable level on a half dozen machines that are all running at the same time, 18 hours a day, can make farmers anxious. A diesel tender trailer might be compared to a grain cart at harvest. The grain cart dashes from combine to combine to prevent tanks from filling. The cart doesn’t necessarily take a full load of grain off any of the combines — just enough so they all keep working. In a big field operation, a diesel hauling trailer serves the same function. It dashes from machine to machine to make sure everyone has enough fuel to keep working. “To make this all work, farmers need a high performance fuel trailer. Our biggest gas powered pump delivers 40 g.p.m. at the nozzle,” said Harwood. “With that pump, you fill an empty

300 gallon tank in less than 10 minutes.” The other two pumps in the lineup include a smaller gas powered pump that puts out 25 g.p.m. and the standard equipment 12 volt unit that puts out 15 g.p.m. The standard auto-retracting hose is 35 feet and the optional autoretracting hose is 50 feet. All hoses have auto-trip nozzles. Farmers don’t want to waste this high efficiency by spending too much time filling the trailer back at the yard. Thunder Creek’s answer was to put a three-inch filler cap on each side of the tank. Harwood said hauling the trailer to implements working in muddy fields has not been a problem. “As long as your truck has traction, the trailer comes along. It won’t sink. Of course, it’s better with three axles,” he said. “For 2013, we have big wide flotation tires as an option. That increases your footprint and reduces rutting. And they’re highway rated so you can run 80 m.p.h., no problem.” Harwood said Canadian regulations require these kinds of fuel hauling tanks to have double wall construction. The Canadian DOT 406 specification also says they cannot exceed 1,000 U.S. gallons. He said designing a Canadian compliant double wall unit was not a problem. “The inner primary tank is 990 gallons. It sits inside the outer tank, which is the tank you can see. This outer tank is capable of holding 110 percent of the liquid volume of the primary tank. We did a lot of prototype testing. We hurt the tank as bad as we could and we still couldn’t make it leak.” Harwood said the trailers can be set up to include a 100 gallon DEF delivery system. As well, Thunder Creek can add compressors, generators, welders and an assortment of toolbox options. He said many customers now use the trailer in place of a more costly field service truck because insurance and maintenance on a trailer is a lot less than on a truck. “Most of our customers so far have been farmers, but people in construction and logging and mining are starting to pick up on the idea too,” he said.

Managing resistance before resistance manages you.

estern Canadian farmers continue to benefit from tools such as glyphosate for non-crop weed control practices including pre-seed, chemfallow and post-harvest herbicide applications. Those applications are an important tool in reducing weed competition for moisture and nutrients, and – particularly for pre-seed applications – can help guarantee the best start for a new crop.

EFFECTIVE NON-CROP USE OF GROUP 2 HERBICIDES Pre-seed weed control is a practice that began in cereal crops, and is increasingly popular as an increasing number of Western Canadian farmers adopt minimum tillage practices.

But in recent years, growers have seen an increase in the number of documented cases of weed resistance in Western Canada, proving glyphosate alone can no longer do the job. Now, researchers suggest that mixing herbicides with multiple modes of action and using them in the same spray will go a long way in helping to control glyphosate-resistant weeds, and preventing new herbicide-resistant weeds from developing.

UNDERSTANDING RESISTANCE Weeds become resistant when they’ve had too much of a good thing. Practices and crops that work well one year are less effective in consecutive years, if there’s no break in routine. That’s why healthy rotation – of crop types, practices and herbicides – is essential. It’s becoming increasingly clear that using glyphosate alone will not control glyphosate-resistant kochia and may increase the risk of glyphosate-resistance occurring in other weed species in the future. With the emergence of Roundup Ready® volunteers, as well as hard-to-kill weeds that are not controlled by glyphosate alone, growers have found that including an add-in like DuPont™ Express® brand herbicide helps to control these weeds and manage resistance.

MANAGING RESISTANCE Crop rotation Ideally, any healthy field will have a rotation of at least three crop types. Research suggests it is equally important to incorporate a host of other natural methods of weed control such as higher seeding rates, the use of clean seed, mowing out suspected resistant weed patches before they go to seed and using herbicides according to label directions.

Utilizing multiple modes of action Herbicides are categorized into 17 different groups according to how they target a weed. For example, Sulfonylurea (member of Group 2) herbicides control weeds by inhibiting the enzyme acetolactate synthase, which is essential to their growth. “If at all possible, producers should use mixtures of herbicides that use multiple modes of action in the seeding year,” says Ken Sapsford, University of Saskatchewan. “It’s one further step to help stop resistance from developing.” Group 2 herbicides are a highly effective way to control weeds – but like other herbicide groups they need to be used appropriately, and utilized with herbicides from other groups in the same spray to help manage resistance.

In spring, particularly if the crop rotation included a crop such as RR canola, DuPont scientists recommend a pre-plant/burndown herbicide treatment such as Express® brands (Group 2) or PrecisionPac® NC-00439 or NC-0050 (Group 2) as an add-in with glyphosate to take advantage of multiple modes of action. Because both Group 2 and Group 9 herbicides have activity on many of the same weeds, growers automatically get multiple modes of action where they need it most. In certain areas, adding a third mode of action such as dicamba, 2,4-D or MCPA (Group 4) is advisable, and can be recommended by an agronomist. “We know that if we control those weeds early with a burn-off and then come in and seed, controlling those weeds and conserving moisture is the best option,” says Ken Sapsford, University of Saskatchewan. The Express® brands significantly improve control of tough weeds such as dandelion and narrow-leaved hawk’s beard in a pre-seed burn-off or post-harvest burndown. Not only will growers improve their weed control but they will also be hitting weeds with actives from two different groups to help manage weed resistance.

THE RACE IS ON The race is on among the world’s leading crop protection companies to tackle the development of weed resistance, and DuPont Crop Protection is committed to working with growers and retailers on solutions that protect the use of all the best tools. A tank mix of Express® brand herbicides plus glyphosate provides multiple modes of action, allows for the sequential application of a different mode if needed, and gives a crop a running start for a productive growing season. DuPont will continue to promote the use of multiple modes of action in a single spray, because it is an effective way to control problem weeds. DuPont is also committed to designing single and multiple active ingredient products with efficacious use rates and realistic performance claims – and DuPont is nimble enough to meet specific field needs and adjust recommendations based on what’s going on in the field.

CFIA ponders new procedures Increased surveillance | XL Foods recall has officials rethinking how plants are inspected BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is contemplating changes to the way it inspects beef plants in the wake of Canada’s largest beef recall. The federal regulator is mulling over a proposal to bolster surveillance of plants during the peak E. coli shedding months of April through October. It is also contemplating new procedures that would ensure better communication of lab results and trend analysis to inspection staff. Discussions about the proposed changes are very preliminary, but there is some urgency to hammer out the details. “We are working towards making sure that before the start of the next season, which is in April, we have some policies in place,” said Harpreet Kochhar, executive director of the CFIA’s western operations. Dennis Laycraft, executive vicepresident of the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association, said producers would also like to see improvements in the CFIA’s ability to trace forward in the event of a recall because there seemed to be a never-ending series of recall notices associated with last year’s E. coli outbreak at XL Foods in Brooks, Alta., which caused illness in at least 18 Canadians. “As you got into smaller and smaller operations where there was less automation of records, it was taking

weeks to sort through the records,” he said. The CFIA temporarily closed the plant Sept. 27 for failing to adequately follow food safety procedures. The facility reopened under new management and enhanced CFIA oversight Oct. 23. The enhanced oversight included adding two inspectors and an inspection manager to the six CFIA veterinarians and 40 CFIA inspectors already stationed at the plant and increasing the amount of sampling and testing. Kochhar said the enhanced oversight ended Jan. 14 because the CFIA is satisfied that correct procedures are now in place at the plant. “We are confident with their preoperation sanitizing procedures, their ability to process the product, their ability to make sure they have proper controls in place,” he said. The building and maintenance is up to snuff and all the proper procedures are in place if there is a positive E. coli sample. E. coli hasn’t been detected in the more than 6,000 samples analyzed at the XL Foods plant since it reopened in October. Kochhar said some elements of increased oversight will continue. The inspection manager will continue to monitor activities at XL Foods and other federally inspected plants, and inspectors will have additional resources at their disposal if needed.

“There is a little more oversight than what it was before, but you would say it is a near normal operation as on Jan. 14,” he said. There is no single “smoking gun” that caused the E. coli outbreak at XL Foods. A combination of deficiencies contributed to the contamination issue. One of the biggest was a failure to follow the proper bracketing procedure when a combo tested positive for E. coli. A combo is a bin full of meat parts from different animals. If it tests positive for E. coli, the meat has to be rendered into animal feed or cooked at a high enough temperature to kill the bacteria. The combo bins immediately in front of and behind the infected bin on the production line also have to be treated in the same manner. That didn’t happen on Aug. 24, 27, 28, 29 and Sept. 5. The CFIA recalled 1,800 products made from beef processed during those five days. Kochhar said the XL Foods incident proves Canada’s food safety system is functioning properly. The recall began Sept. 16, weeks before the Public Health Agency of Canada reported the first four confirmed cases of illness Oct. 1. “It clearly proves, in our minds, that the system works. We were able to inform the people much in advance that this could be a contaminated product,” said Kochhar.

Laycraft said the plant voluntarily put the recall in place, which kept the vast majority of tainted products off store shelves. “To some degree, that credit needs to go to the plant, which doesn’t ever seem to come up in this, that they took that proactive step,” he said. Laycraft said the system worked, but the CFIA certainly didn’t handle the XL Foods crisis perfectly. “Clearly we would have liked to have seen a lot earlier communication with industry. Not just the individual party but with industry as a whole,” he said. “When you close down 40 percent of your processing, that impacts every single person who raises cattle in this country.” Kochhar considers the “measured response” to the incident by international customers of Canadian beef another sign that Canada is doing something right. The XL Foods plant processes 37 percent of Canada’s federally inspected cattle slaughter and exports 40 to 45 percent of the beef it produces from those animals. It is one of Canada’s top two beef processing plants, so jurisdictions such as the United States, Japan, Hong Kong and Taiwan could have easily closed their doors to all shipments of Canadian meat. “That was not the case because they have a thorough confidence in our system,” said Kochhar.

Trials seek optimal forage nutrition Maximizing quality | Forage council tests nutritional value of different barley varieties BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Research into forage quality and new barley varieties continues to make gains and provide valuable options for producers, says a livestock consultant. “Quality in is quality out, at the end of the day, so we’re trying to push the bar on what type of quality the producer has available to them but at the same time allow them to be flexible to pick what option they want to do,” said Leland Fuhr of Dairy Smart Nutrition in Saskatoon. “It’s all about profitability over input costs.… You’re trying to maximize whatever you’re getting paid out at the end day versus whatever it’s costing you to make that product.” He told the Saskatchewan Beef Industry Conference in Saskatoon Jan. 23 that his pet peeve is producers telling him they bought a product cheap or did something cheaply. “Cheap is cheap,” he said. “Cheap in is cheap out versus quality or inexpensive. So if I got quality in an inexpensive way, then I’ve maximized my profit and I ended up getting a quality product out at the end of the day.” He said six factors determine forage quality: species, environment, insect and disease damage, soil fertility, harvest and storage and maturity. Producers can have the biggest impact on maturity but tend to miss the mark, he added. The stage of plant maturity at which producers decide to harvest will have one of the biggest impacts on the quality of their silage or forage. The Saskatchewan Forage Council last year funded two demonstration plots near Osler and Dalmeny that grew the smooth awn barley varieties Falcon, Ranger, Sundre and Legacy. The data he presented was from barley going for silage, but the nutrient data would apply regardless of how the barley was used; baled, silaged or grazed. “It’s a prelude to a lot of the research that the universities will be doing on barley silage varieties,” he said. “We’re showing with the

The Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association is considering a change to its fall district meeting and election schedule after a resolution at its annual meeting. A couple of resolutions from last fall’s meetings suggested that late October wasn’t the best time for producers to attend meetings because they are busy marketing calves or bringing animals home from pasture. As well, a resolution to work on developing a national electronic manifest was tabled after the membership learned that the Canadian Cattle Identification Agency is already working on a model. The resolution could return to the floor once more information is obtained.

Producers face big decisions in wake of drought

Livestock marketers elect officials

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

SASKATOON —American cattle producers have decisions to make this spring after last year’s devastating drought, says Cattlefax analyst Lance Zimmerman. The dry conditions were the second worst in recorded history behind only 1934, he told the Saskatchewan Beef Industry Conference Jan. 23. The widespread drought also came after several years of smaller droughts. Zimmerman said 40 percent of the herd was affected three times in the last 12 years, while more

So a lot of it is within the realm of his abilities to achieve success.” A show of hands at the meeting indicated that a large majority of beef producers are investing in a forage analysis. “To me if you’re not doing it, you’re really throwing a lot of things into the wind and leaving money on the table,” he said. “If you’re well versed in it, you can sit down and balance your rations, or you can work with a feed company or consultant at that point in time. There’s definitely profit to be made at that point in time.”

than half was affected last year. He said the beef cow inventory is expected to drop by 360,000 head this year and another 100,000 head next year before rebounding in 2015 by 350,000 head. U.S. producers have imported 10,000 truckloads of hay as they try to feed the cattle they are keeping. “We have a lot of producers that are rolling dice,” Zimmerman said. They must decide whether to downsize or keep their cows based on rain, water availability and pasture conditions. He said hay prices are “an incredible threat” right now. The price is

Forage quality becomes more important as grain costs increase. “I have a few guys that tell me forage quality is king and that’s what they concentrate most on because they don’t like shelling out money for costly grains.” He said variety affects the kind of results producers will get, although there’s likely to be more variation

expected to increase from $143 per ton to $153 per ton by late winter. Zimmerman said hay stocks are the lowest since 1955, and last year’s production was 30 percent lower than 2011, which also saw declining production. Canadian Cattlemen’s Association president Martin Unrau said the high feed costs are reverberating through the Canadian herd industry as well, particularly in the drought areas of Ontario and southeastern Manitoba. “It’s just driving a lot of guys into the ground,” he said. Even finding feed is difficult in

within a variety than between varieties. “Meaning I could take the same crop year to year and if it gets flooded out, or if I cut it at a totally different time, or didn’t put the crop inputs that I had the previous year into it, I potentially could get an extremely different product out at the end of the day, which could effect my bottom line year to year on that basis.”

those areas. Unrau said prices have doubled or tripled in the last three months, and the cold weather adds to the concern about having enough supply. The Saskatchewan feed and forage listing service offered hay Jan. 30 that ranged from $50 to $77 per ton. Prices were lower than that on Alberta’s listing. Zimmerman said the Canadian cow herd declined by 24 percent over the last seven years, but that will change. “Canada is probably best poised from Mother Nature’s point of view for expansion in 2013,” he said.

Livestock Marketers of Saskatchewan has a new president after the association’s annual general meeting held Jan. 25 during the Saskatchewan Beef Industry Conference. Bob Blacklock of Saskatoon Livestock Sales takes over from Rhett Parks of Whitewood Livestock Sales. Stewart Stone from Heartland Livestock Services is first vicepresident. Rounding out the board are Joe Jackson of JGL Livestock in Moose Jaw, Michael Fleury from Saskatoon Livestock Sales, Roy Rutledge of Assiniboia Livestock Auction and John Williamson from Mankota Stockmen’s Weigh Co.

Limousin breeders seek marketing plan for lean meat Angus sector touts marbling | Limousin producers want to establish a reputation as high-yielding lean beef money makers BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Longtime cattle buyer and exporter Tony Saretsky claims the most profitable cattle he ever sold were four loads of animals that had an average meat yield of 65.9 percent, even after travelling for nine hours. “The money is in the yield,” he said during a focus group that the Canadian Limousin Association sponsored in Calgary. Supporters of the breed promote Limousin calves as beefy money makers because of their high yielding ability, but that information is often not shared between packers and producers. Tim Andrews has a large commercial herd based on Limousin breeding and produces seed stock at his ranch near Youngstown, Alta.

TONY SARETSKY CATTLE BUYER

He knows farmer feeders are looking for moderate framed animals that produce lots of beef because it costs money to add fat. “There is no incentive to raise a AAA,” he said.

common concern that all producers have when they are trying to differentiate themselves. “We need a price premium if we are going to raise them a certain way.” Dealing with Norwich Packers in Ontario may be one approach because the family-run operation is looking for high yielding, lean cattle. Most of the 15,000 head processed at this provincial plant each year are straight bred or Limousin influenced, said Matthew Heleniak, head of the operation. “Our niche customers are in Toronto, especially among people who appreciate lean beef,” he told the Calgary meeting held late last year. The company supplies butcher shops and restaurants with dry-aged, lean beef. There is no Select grade discount in Ontario, so A and AA sell for the same price. “If there is no premium for cattle that marble, why feed them?” he said. Heleniak said show judges have been taught to look for Angus type traits and tend to evaluate many shows using those parameters. As a result, higher yielding animals are often relegated to the bottom of the class. He said the breed needs a well orchestrated marketing plan to promote its particular type of beef because Angus has almost become the generic code for quality. Norwich started in 1954 when Polish immigrants Marian and Mary Heleniak bought a packing plant and ran it as a family operated butcher shop for processing local hogs and cattle. The family created a custom feeding operation in the mid-1990s with its own feed ration of whole corn and a special pellet formulation. The operation feeds 3,000 to 4,000 head her year, primarily continental type cattle such as Limousin and Belgian Blues. Most cattle come from long-term suppliers, and both breeds cross well with Angus to produce marbling for certain specialty markets. Heleniak said the key to producing quality meat is in cattle feeding and handling at slaughter.

“When they get to our facility, what happens to them is totally different than a big place,” he said. There is straw bedding and feed and water at the plant’s holding area and cattle are given 12 to 14 hours to settle before slaughter. Rock and roll music is played in the holding area to accustom the cattle to the noise of the plant. “Our stress levels are very low. We believe that makes a more tender product by making the cattle very relaxed,” he said. The plant also uses electrical stimulation after slaughter for further tenderization. It is a provincially inspected plant with a hazard analysis critical control point program and Double A Ontario inspection certification. It has $35 million in sales a year. “There are a lot of things we do the old fashioned way, all the way through,” Heleniak said. All cattle are numbered when they enter the plant for trace-back purposes. They are manually skinned and shrouded with cotton sheets that contain an antibacterial agent. Carcasses are dry chilled and rolled with an ink stamp so that clients will know the grade. The company’s market demands a quarter inch trim of fat. Butchers and restaurants want sides and large primal cuts that are dry aged, even though the shrinkage loss is 10 to 15 percent. Large rib eyes are not considered a problem because the meat cutters have their own specifications when handling bigger cuts. The company does not typically advertise its meat by breed but instead offers it as a local product. It also works with a group of 30 producers who provides hormone- and antibiotic-free cattle year round. They are serving a large ethnic community in the Toronto area where there is a market for products that once went to the rendering tank. Bones for the dog food market and blood used in Chinese dishes are among some of the most sought after products. “Oxtails are probably the most expensive meat now,” Heleniak said.

NUTRITION | CALF HEALTH

Convenience of colostrum substitutes contributes to use ANIMAL HEALTH

ROY LEWIS, DVM

he value of feeding calves good quality colostrum is well documented. At the same time, colostrum substitutes have come into greater use. Several factors have led to this change: • The colostrum substitutes have become higher quality and are more convenient than using frozen colostrum. • There is a shortage of heavy producing cows from which to save colostrum because less cows need help during calving and more producers calve later on grass. • It was always considered best to have colostrum from your own cows

because they are on your nutritional and vaccination program. The spray-dried colostrum we buy from the Saskatoon Colostrum Company with such names as Headstart and Calf’s Choice Total are pasteurized in the spray dry process mainly to protect against diseases such as Johne’s. All batches are tested on calves as well as in the lab before they are sold. All the other products sold in Canada are imported from the United States, where companies remove some of the fat, antimicrobials and immune factors. There is a big market for these components in the human health supplement field. The western Canadian company does not do that, which is all the more reason to shop locally. The heat treatment makes this commercial supplement safer than acquiring colostrum from a dairy where you don’t know the health status. There is nothing wrong with getting colostrum from the first milk of a productive cow in your herd and

freezing it for another day, but hopefully it doesn’t have Johne’s disease. As well, colostrum needs to be collected carefully to prevent manure contamination. However, busy farmers can save time by rehydrating colostrum replacers quickly in warm water rather than carefully thawing out frozen colostrum. It’s important to recognize how many grams of immunoglobulin are in the product. We have always preached that calves should receive at least 100 grams of immunoglobulin before they are six hours old. It is critical when using a product such as Headstart (60g IgG) that the calf receive extra colostrum from the cow because this product is designed to be fed as an immediate feeding, and the calf should still be encouraged to suckle the cow in the first few hours of life. The Calf’s Choice Total provides the 100g IgG. These products may seem expensive but the old adage of getting what you pay for holds true. The better quality colostrum supplements,

such as those with higher levels of immunoglobulin, are generally more expensive. Beware of cheap colostrum supplements. For example, colostrix boluses were touted as a colostrum source years ago. Each bolus contained 0.3 grams of immunoglobulin, meaning 300 boluses would be needed to achieve the full 100 grams. Somehow I don’t think that was ever done. Inexpensive colostrum sources may also not absorb as well into the calf because they have a lower percentage of IgG than the high quality complete colostrum product. The only ingredient on the label should be colostrum. Buy the good substitutes and store them well and follow the mixing directions closely. Producers should also think of colostrum supplements more as partial substitutes, such as with twins from an average cow where both calves have sucked somewhat. Splitting a 100 gram package between the two calves ensures they both have

had enough colostrum. It never hurts to give colostrum if there is any doubt that they have sucked, such as with a weak calf, a wild mother, a calf from a hard pull or a calf whose mother has big teats. Giving the entire package (100 grams of immunoglobulin) provides good insurance that the calf’s entire colostrum needs have been met. Colostrum substitutes made from actual colostrum from western Canadian dairy cows seems like a good idea to me. The more local the better because it helps prevent diseases that you are more likely to see in your own calves. My clinic used to acquire frozen colostrum from reputable dairies, but most of them now contract to the Saskatoon Colostrum Co. It is a significant convenience for farmers to have access to a product that can be kept at room temperature and easily rehydrated and fed when needed.

WINTER FUN | OLD BARN

Spending time with old friends makes winter easier COWBOY LOGIC

RYAN TAYLOR

ur old faded barn doesn’t get used as much these days as it did years ago. We don’t calve in cold weather anymore, and we don’t ranch with teams of horses needing stalls to eat their oats and a place to hang their harness. But I get into the barn enough to still appreciate it, even if it’s just the short time it takes to saddle a horse or find a place to store the trappings of animal husbandry. The kids and I have been spending a little more time in there this winter as they play in the hay and I play with a weanling colt we raised this year. It’s a cozy place to be, despite the missing windows and a few holes in the siding. It’s warmed by nostalgia, a couple of horses chewing on a manger full of hay, the blur of kids discovering new adventures in it and those five 100 watt bulbs strung along the beams of the hayloft floor to light it on short winter days. I always appreciated the history of our old barn. I had seen a photo of it in its early days on the ranch when the white painted lettering was still legible: Livery Feed & Sale Barn. My great-grandfather had owned the barn as a livery business in bustling little Towner, North Dakota, before it was moved to the ranch. If you needed a place to park your horse, get a gallon of oats or a manger full of hay, the Taylor Livery was the place to go. Chances were pretty good you could do some horse trading there, too. My great-grandfather died in 1922,

and the barn came out to the ranch in 1927. When I asked dad how they moved the tall, 32 by 60 foot barn out here, he said he’d heard it was broken down into seven pieces: two side walls, two end walls, the hayloft floor and the two sides of the roof. Each piece was then skidded with eight horses the 25 kilometres out to the ranch. It took some effort, obviously, but the ranch had a decent barn when it was all tacked back together. When Dad came home from the Second World War, he poured concrete footings under the 184 foot perimeter of the barn. When I asked how he did that, he said he’d jack it up a bit, dig a four foot deep trench in the sand, form it up, mix up some concrete, pour it, let it down, then jack up the next several feet and do it again. One guy, 184 feet of four foot footings. It took some effort but was maybe a little therapeutic for Dad after spending three winters in the jungles of the South Pacific. He put tin on the roof and built a gate inside it from cottonwood lumber milled from trees about to be flooded by the dams on the Missouri River. The tin is still there, and the gate is too, as are the stories I find myself recounting to our children as we hang out in the barn. I’ve always heard it said that our pioneer ancestors often put more immediacy in building a barn than a house. As the saying went, there were a lot of barns that paid for a house, but not many houses that ever paid for a barn. Maybe the structure itself is less important with the way we ranch today, but what it stands for, I think, is more important than ever. The barn may not pay for much anymore, but what our family has invested in it, over the years, is worth remembering. At least one colt, related to some of the very horses that were tied in that barn more than 50 years ago, still

appreciates the grain box and the manger we tie him to. And one fami-

ly, related to those who owned it 100 years ago, still appreciates it, too.

Co-ops a better fit within Industry Canada: officials Leaders pleased | Feds move portfolio away from Agriculture Canada BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Following complaints from industry leaders, the federal government has shifted responsibility for the co-op sector to Industry Canada. | FILE PHOTO

The federal government has decided to move responsibility for the co-operative sector from Agriculture Canada to Industry Canada. It also promises to make the federal bureaucracy more co-op friendly. Last week’s announcement was a response to the report of a special

House of Commons committee on co-operatives and to regular complaints from co-op leaders that the sector is misplaced in an increasingly indifferent agriculture bureaucracy. The Canadian Co-operative Association was thrilled. “This is very good news,” CCA government relations manager Shawn Murphy said. “The sector has become so diverse that we are no longer a

On Farm Research Project Yields Informative Results

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.

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.

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

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.

good fit under Agriculture Canada and frankly, agriculture had lost interest in the file.” Industry minister Christian Paradis represents a rural Quebec riding with a strong co-operative presence. Alberta MP Blake Richards, chair of the special committee on co-ops that was created last year during the international year of co-operatives, said the government is recognizing the economic impact of co-ops. “It is a recognition of the importance of the sector,” he said. “The thing we heard most from members of co-ops is that there really needed to be a proper place for them in government and we think Industry Canada is that place.” He said Agriculture Canada was historically the home of co-op policy because most co-operatives were in the agricultural sector. “Now, you see co-operatives throughout the economy in funerals, housing and even sports teams. This is an important change.” The government response, which was tabled in Parliament Jan. 28, also pledged to educate public servants and the general public about the diversity and benefits of co-ops. As well, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. will be instructed to provide “reasonable mortgage and refinancing services” to co-op social housing projects. The new co-op policy did not address one of the key sector requests — creation of a federal tax credit for capital investments in co-operatives modelled on a successful Quebec program. Murphy said it will continue to be a sector request, but also said it was unrealistic to expect that the government would deliver on the full menu of policy goals. “I see this as kind of a courtship at the moment,” he said. “We have been invited into the house. We want to create a permanent relationship.” The most significant part of the policy announcement was the switch to Industry Canada, although exactly where policy will reside and whether a secretariat will be created within the department remains to be seen. The co-operative sector has felt like an orphan in the Agriculture Canada bureaucracy for some time. As an example, the last federal budget eliminated the $4 million fund for the Cooperative Development Initiative, which was created in 2003 to provide support for start-up co-ops. It also sharply reduced funding and staffing for the Agriculture Canada Rural and Co-operatives secretariat. When co-op leaders criticized the decision, agriculture minister Gerry Ritz was dismissive. “When I think of the co-operatives, they tell me they have a net worth of $385 billion in Canada,” he said last year. “I’m not sure why they ask for $4 million from taxpayers to write books about the history of their co-ops, and that’s predominantly the applications we are getting. I think this could be done at a whole different level than taxpayer money.”

LOBBYING | AGRICULTURE

Russia plans ban on U.S. beef, pork

Ag minister most popular among lobbyists Gerry Ritz tops visits | Grain, commodity and food industry groups were among the 111 lobby groups BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU & REUTERS NEWS AGENCY

The United States is strongly objecting to Russia’s decision to ban all imports of U.S. beef, pork and turkey because it could have traces of the feed additive ractopamine, a growth stimulant to make meat leaner. “These actions threaten to undermine our bilateral trade relationship,” said Andrea Mead, a spokesperson for the U.S. Trade Representative’s office. “They are not consistent with international standards and appear to be inconsistent with Russia’s W TO (World Trade Organization) commitments.” Russia’s Veterinary and PhytoSanitary Surveillance Service (VPSS) said in a statement it would impose a temporary ban on U.S. beef, pork and turkey starting Feb. 11. The move has been in the works for weeks and appears to one of several tit-for-tat moves taken by Moscow since the U.S. Congress passed legislation in December to punish Russian human rights violators. Ractopamine is banned in some countries because of concerns that residues could remain in the meat and cause health problems, despite scientific evidence it is safe. Canada, which also uses ractopamine, avoided the U.S.’s fate. Russia’s surveillance service said on its website that Canadian beef and pork will continue to be imported following assurances from Canadian Food Inspection Agency chief veterinary officer Ian Alexander that the country’s meat exports comply with Russian requirements. Alexander said Canada has no intentions to issue veterinary certificates for meat that doesn’t comply. Future shipments will include documents confirming the meat is from animals that haven’t been feed ractopamine. The CFIA was unable to provide further information by press time. Last month Russia suspended pork imports from two Canadian plants, one in Ontario and one in Quebec because of ractopamine residue in meat. Meanwhile, the U.S. is vigorously opposing the move. “We ... continue to call on Russia to suspend these unjustified measures and restore market access for U.S. beef and pork products,” Mead said. Russia received 7.5 percent of its imported beef and 11.4 percent of its imported pork from the United States from January to September 2012. “Although Russia is not the largest export market for U.S. beef and pork, it’s a very valuable export market,” said Gary Mickelson, spokesperson for Tyson Food Inc., the largest U.S. meat company. “We’d rather not speculate about a halt in business to Russia, but we’re hopeful the U.S. and Russian government can quickly resolve this matter,” Mickelson said. Russia imported 1.25 million tonnes of red meat, excluding offal, worth $4.47 billion from non-former Soviet Union countries in 2011, according to official customs data.

For the second consecutive year, agriculture minister Gerry Ritz was the federal government minister most visited by lobbyists in 2012. He was most popular with lobbyists by a country mile. Records compiled by the Office of the Commissioner of Lobbying and researched by the Parliament Hill newspaper The Hill Times show that lobbyists reported 111 meetings with Ritz in 2012 on topics ranging from trade, supply management and food inspection legislation reforms to

potash industry control and pork industry problems. The next closest minister in hosting lobbyist visitors was natural resources minister Joe Oliver with 83 meetings, followed by environment minister Peter Kent with 77. In the House of Commons, an opposition MP quickly told Ritz that if he is so available to meet with industry lobbyists, he should listen more closely to people critical of some of his policies and decisions. “It is surprising that the lobbyists’ favourite is refusing to listen to experts, entrepreneurs and local communities,” NDP deputy agricul-

ture critic Ruth Ellen Brosseau told him Jan. 30 when asking about food packing industry complaints over new rules. Some say agriculture is more susceptible to lobby pressure. Unlike many industries with a unified lobby voice in Ottawa, the agriculture and food industry has dozens of lobbyists residing in or visiting Ottawa, as well as transportation and input companies. All want the agriculture minister to understand their position, even on files that are not directly his responsibility, including rail service legislation. Last year was a busy year on many

files that touch Ritz’s responsibilities. Lobbying on trade issues by exporters and supply management representatives were part of the mix. Ritz’s lobby year began Jan. 10 with a visit from Bob Friesen of Farmers of North America and ended Dec. 13 with a visit from Food and Consumer Products of Canada. Lobbyists from grain and commodity associations met him to press for rail service legislation, which was introduced by transport minister Denis Lebel late last year. Co-operative and credit union sector representatives and lobbyists for Agrium and Viterra also paid a visit.

A Vancouver company is building a small pea protein production plant in Winnipeg. B u r c o n Nu t r a S c i e n c e C o r p. wouldn’t divulge the capacity or the cost of the plant, but it will be used to process yellow split peas into the company’s patented Peazazz protein isolate. The company completed a $5.75 million equity offering in November. President Johann Tergesen said at the time that the money would allow the company to focus on its Peazazz protein. Paul Lam, Burcon’s business development analyst, said the timing is ideal to transition from the company’s pilot plant located in its Winnipeg laboratory to a semi-work production facility. “Right now plant protein is sort of booming,” he said. “It’s just the right time for us to scale up and do it ourselves.” Peazazz is a completely soluble, transparent and heat tolerant protein in beverages with a pH below four. The product can be used in low pH fruit juices and juice blends, sport nutrition drinks, powdered beverages, fortified waters, bars, baked goods and vegetarian and vegan food. “Since announcing Peazazz in November 2011, interest from potential customers for a clean-tasting, transparent pea protein has been very encouraging,” Tergesen said. The small-scale commercial facility will produce enough pea protein for interested food and beverage manufacturers to conduct product development work. The company hopes that will result in a development partner to help build a full-size production facility. Other options include licensing the technology to a manufacturer or for Burcon to build a full-scale plant on its own. Burcon signed a non-binding letter of intent with a commercialization partner for Peazazz last August, but on Jan. 29 it announced it was termi-

nating the letter of intent. Planning and engineering for the plant is complete, and equipment has been ordered. The plan is to produce commercial volumes of Peazazz by July, in time for the product to make its debut at the 2013 IFT Annual Meeting and Food Expo in Chicago. Lam said there is plenty of interest

in Peazazz because of the increasing price of mainstream meat, dairy and egg protein products, which is expected to continue. “The market conditions are really ripe for plant proteins.” Burcon also holds patents on soy and canola protein products. In 2011 it licensed Clarisoy soy protein to Archer Daniels Midland, which has built a production facility and is responsible for all production and marketing of the product. ADM made its first sale of the product in December. “They’re moving forward at a really unexpectedly fast pace to bring Clarisoy to market,” said Lam. He also said the company has found plenty of interest in Supertein,

its canola protein product. However, he said it doesn’t have the same history in human food as soy and pea protein, and as a result doesn’t have regulatory approval in key markets such as the European Union. Supertein is still in the company’s commercialization plans, he added. “We’re trying to bring Peazazz to market first and then the canola protein will be out next,” said Lam. A research team at Jena University in Germany recently published a study in the journal Clinical Nutrition showing that there is no difference between rapeseed protein and commonly used soy protein. The study could pave the way to gaining approval of rapeseed-canola protein in human food in the EU.

FERTILIZER | SULFUR PLANT

Sulvaris Inc. plans Alberta plant to process sulfur into fertilizer pellets SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A Calgary company has announced plans to build a sulfur fertilizer production facility near Rocky Mountain House, Alta. The project still needs regulatory approval, but Randy Boomhour, Sulvaris Inc.’s chief financial officer, said construction could begin this

spring and production start early next year. Boomhour isn’t revealing further details, but the company has said the facility will have the capacity to produce 217,000 tonnes of a new 0-0-0-90S fertilizer the company is marketing called Vitasul. The company says the pellet prod-

uct, once in the soil and in contact with moisture, breaks down into microscopic particles that oxidize rapidly into a sulfate form available to the plant in the season of application. Sulvaris was founded last year after the amalgamation of Sulphur Solutions Inc., Carbon Solutions Inc. and

Sour Gas Solutions Inc. It’s only now bringing its first product out of the research and development phase. The facility will be located on the site of an existing gas processing facility and will process sulfur particles into fertilizer granules. “We’re taking environmental sul-

fur, we’re putting it into a very small particle size, which creates the maximum amount of surface area, which increases the rate at which microbes in the ground take the elemental sulfur and convert it into sulfate, which is the plant nutrient form of sulfur that plants need to help their growth,” said Boomhour.

CP cost cutting, high volumes increase revenue BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Canadian Pacific Railway earned record revenues for moving North American grain to market in the last three months of 2012. Fourth quarter earnings from transporting grain were higher than at any other three-month period in CP’s history, said chief marketing officer Jane O’Hagan. “In grain, for the quarter, revenue was up 12 percent and we had a record revenue for grain in a quarter,” O’Hagan said during a Jan. 29 conference call with investors. “Our units were up one percent, reflecting a strong demand domestically and globally, (and) volumes were well above our three- and fiveyear averages, approaching our record Q4 of last year.” She said short haul grain exports to the United States were down, but CP did a good job capturing Canadian grain business and is well positioned to service an integrated North American grain market. “We’ve had great feedback from our customers on servicing grain … and we are now moving more grain with fewer assets based on new levels of productivity and velocity,” O’Hagan said. “With our strong service and unique network, we are very well positioned to leverage the movement to a North American grain marketplace, post

In the fourth quarter, Canadian Pacific Railway saw a 12 percent revenue increase over the same period last year. | the Canadian Wheat Board.” CP’s overall freight revenue from all business segments was up 10 percent in 2012, or nine percent after currency adjustments. Overall 2012 volumes were up three percent from 2011 and average revenue per rail car was up seven percent. The company’s operating ratio, which expresses operating expenses as a percentage of revenue, fell below 75 percent in the fourth quarter of 2012, said CP president Hunter Harrison. The ratio is expected to drop even further this year as CP continues to streamline operations and realize b e n e f i t s s t e m m i n g f ro m f l e e t improvements, staff reductions and other cost cutting measures implemented over the past few months. Cutting costs and increasing operational efficiencies were central com-

ponents in Harrison’s plan to restructure CP and turn it into North America’s most efficient rail carrier in North America. In December, about five months after his arrival at CP, Harrison announced plans to cut 4,500 jobs by 2016, nearly one-quarter of the workforce. About half of those cuts will be completed by April, he said. An additional 700 positions will be cut by the end of the year. CP will also continue to reduce its rolling stock and get rid of inefficient locomotives that are costly to maintain and disrupt traffic flows. In the end, CP says it will emerge as a more efficient railway company with fewer assets, fewer workers and bigger profits. “The plan is working. It’s clearly ahead of schedule,” Harrison said. “Our labour issues are generally

behind us. We’ve signed recently four collective bargaining agreements so those issues are out of the way. We continue to fine tune the reorganization … and we are seeing improved service across the board, so I couldn’t be more pleased.” CP’s earnings per share were down sharply in the fourth quarter, despite a double digit increase in freight revenues in 2012, which reflected extraordinary expenses related to the company’s restructuring efforts. Extraordinary expenses reported in CP’s fourth quarter included: • A $53 million charge related to labour force adjustments. • An $80 million charge related to improving the railway’s locomotive fleet. • A $185 million charge related to infrastructure investments in Wyoming’s coal-rich Powder River Basin.

After accounting for those items, CP’s fourth quarter earnings per share came in at eight cents per share, down sharply from $1.30 per share recorded in the fourth quarter of 2011. “Management made a number of hard decisions this quarter, including booking several significant items,” Harrison said. “ Wi t h t h e s e d e d u c t i o n s n ow behind us, we anticipate record setting financial and operation results starting in 2013.” In mid-January, the company also announced the opening of its new intermodal facility at Saskatchewan’s Global Transportation Hub. The new facility is located on CP’s main line between Regina and Moose Jaw, Sask., and is capable of processing up to 250,000 containers a year, about five times more than CP’s former terminal in Regina.

TAXES | INVESTMENTS

Timely tips to cut taxes MONEY IN YOUR POCKET

GRANT DIAMOND

ow that we are into 2013, I thought I would provide tips to help you reduce your tax bill for this year and provide other money saving information. Make your mortgage interest tax deductible by refinancing and investing the equity in your home. You can refinance or take out a second mortgage and use the funds in an investment that has the potential for growth or to earn income. Any interest on the mortgage amount used for an investment is tax deductible. Invest in a tax free savings account and earn interest without paying taxes. You can contribute up to $5,500 to a TFSA in the 2013 tax year and up to $20,000 since 2009 ($5,000 per year from 2009 to 2012). Interest earned or capital appreciation in this account is tax sheltered and does not have to be included in income. This is one of the best tax shelters for investment income. Split pension income with your partner to optimize both of your tax positions. You could reduce the wages of a spouse working on the farm and move pension income from the higher-income spouse to the lower-income spouse to take advan-

tage of pension splitting and income smoothing. If you or your spouse is receiving pension income and the other spouse is in a lower tax bracket, up to 50 percent of pension income can go to the lower income earner to take advantage of that lower tax bracket. This can reduce the overall tax burden of both partners. Time capital gains and capital losses to reduce overall tax burden. Decide when to buy and sell assets and securities. If you incur a capital gain early in the current tax year, you could decide to recognize capital losses toward the end of the year to offset capital gains that must be included in income. Make use of spousal Registered Retirement Savings Plans to split income with your spouse. Move reportable income to the spouse with a lower tax bracket so that less tax is paid on the same income upon retirement. The Canada Revenue Agency has allowed taxpayers to use their contribution room to set up and contribute to a spousal RRSP which entitles the contributor to transfer the contribution to the spouse. The beneficiary can then withdraw the funds either in the future or at retirement and it becomes their income. The funds must remain in the plan for a minimum of three years before the beneficiary can claim the income and not have it attribute back to the contributor.
