Changes proposed by the United States to its country-of-origin labelling law could widen its rift with Canada and Mexico. The U. S. Department of Agriculture published on March 11 the 44 page rule to amend the legislation. It would require more specific labelling at retail outlets to identify originating countries for cattle and hogs, where t he a n i ma l s w e re raised and where they were processed. “These changes are not going to reduce the likelihood of retaliation or of being found out of compliance (with World Trade Organization rules),” said Martin Rice, manager of the Canadian Pork Council “It is certainly what the pro-COOL forces were looking for.” The Canadian government, the pork council and Canadian Cattlemen’s Association have fought a legal challenge to end what they say is discrimination against foreign livestock entering the U.S. They say the latest proposed amendment is more strict than what now exists. The W TO ruled last year that COOL discriminated against Canadian and Mexican cattle and hogs f e d o r p ro c e s s e d i n t h e U. S. It ordered the law to be changed by May 23. If changes prove unsatisfactory, Canada and Mexico may take trade action.

FLOOD ALERT | FROM PAGE ONE

Not as bad as 2011? Pockets with well above normal runoff potential are near the two largest cities. “In the Moose Jaw to Indian Head area, the Qu’Appelle Valley, and the area south of Pr ince Alber t in between North Battleford and Saskatoon there is the potential for very high runoff,” the minister said. These areas saw more than twice as much snow as normal, and a larger area including Melville, Weyburn, North Battleford and Gravelbourg saw up to twice as much. The snow also contains between 150 and 200 percent more than the normal amount of water, Cheveldayoff said. However, officials say flooding potential is less than it was in 2011. “Even though there’s a lot of snow out there, the areas of really high snow are smaller than they were in 2011,” said John Fahlman, director of hydrology and ground water services with the WSA. Dry soil conditions last fall throughout all agricultural areas except the northeast also help. On the flip side, the rate of melt and s p r i n g p re c i p i t at i o n a re b o t h unknown and will contribute to the chances of flooding. Gina Ressler, meteorologist with The Weather Network, said the three-month outlook for the Prairies indicates precipitation for most regions should be near normal. Several small areas will see above normal precipitation, however. “We’ve got this area through western Saskatchewan and up into northern Saskatchewan where we’re expecting above normal precipitation for the next couple of months and that has to do with the storm track that we’re expecting to continue into the spring,” she said. The active weather of January, February and early March is expected to continue, she said. Another area near Winnipeg is also expected to see above normal precipitation related to storms and moisture from the south but Ressler said that is a little more uncertain. March is often the snowiest month in southern Alberta, she added, and

active weather will continue. In terms of temperature, spring should be typical with temperatures averaging out at normal. “We’ll still probably continue to see the swings in temperatures so maybe some cold spells but balanced by some warmer spells as well,” Ressler said. Fahlman said a rapid, late melt poses the most risk of flooding. The agency has been drawing down various reservoirs to create more water storage. On the Souris River system, where extensive flooding wiped out much of the village of Roche Percee in 2011, above normal runoff is expected and the three reservoirs on the system — Boundary, Rafferty and Alameda — are being managed with a view to storage. Rafferty is expected to refill above its fully supply level, he said, but not to its maximum storage level. Alameda is not being drawn down further, and is projected to rise about three metres this spring to two metres above its full supply level. The Qu’Appelle River system will likely see flows similar to 2011 due to the existing snow pack. High water levels are also expected on the Moose Jaw River, Wascana Creek, and the Quill Lakes. The forecast says it is too early to predict flows on the Saskatchewan River system. Government officials have been meeting w ith urban and r ural municipalities to make sure they are prepared. Cheveldayoff said many lessons were learned from the floods of 2010 and 2011. Since that time, more than $25 million has been spent on 580 permanent flood mitigation works. “Overall, we are much better prepared than we were two years ago in the event that flooding does occur in certain areas,” he said. Sandbags, sandbagging machines, Hesco flood barriers, pumps and other equipment will all be available, if necessary, from the government relations ministry. Cheveldayoff added that the WSA is developing a mobile app to make sure information is available to smart phone and tablet users.

NEW MEANING TO THE TERM SNOW BLOWER

Gov’t body assesses FCC’s risk BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Finance Canada’s Office of the Superintendant of Financial Institutions is subjecting Farm Credit Canada to a “risk assessment” even as agriculture minister Gerry Ritz issued a robust defence of FCC. “I expect Farm Credit to continue to play the dynamic role they play in the farm sector in Canada,” Ritz said during a conference call from Tokyo March 11 during a trade mission. “They work from a pool of money, not government guarantees as the banks keep saying.” Ritz said he would like to see the federal Regina-based crown corporation expand to cover more sectors of the agriculture value chain. “They’ve grown out and expanded their portfolio exponentially and I want to reassure Canadians in doing that they don’t have money at risk,” said the minister. “That’s what the review for OSFI is all about.” The review comes weeks after the business-oriented C.D. Howe Institute research centre issued a report that criticized FCC as a high-risk lender that unfairly competes with private lenders because it has access to low-interest government borrowing rates. Banks and credit unions agreed that the crown corporation does have unfair advantages with access to cheaper government money and should be subject to a mandate review. FCC insists savings from lower interest borrowing are not passed on to farmers in cheaper borrowing rates. However, it remains unclear if the OSFI review is routine and scheduled, a response to the C.D. Howe report or a request from Finance Canada. Repeated requests to several depar tments drew only vague responses to the question of why the review is happening. “Government entities are routinely examined as part of proper oversight,” said a Finance Canada official.

EXPENSE | USER FEES

Sask. irrigation, grazing fees to rise Certification, lease rates rise | Gov’t says it must play catchup after holding the line on changes BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Saskatchewan farmers will pay more this year to certify irrigation land, rent crown cultivated land and graze cattle in provincial pastures. In c re a s e s t o t h e s e f e e s w e re announced last week and will bring in an additional $6.3 million in the upcoming fiscal year. The provincial budget March 20 will set out government spending. The fee to certify land for irrigation will rise in two stages this year and next. The cost will increase from $1,300 to $1,650 for initial parcels and from $1,100 to $1,550 for additional parcels, said agriculture minis-

ter Lyle Stewart. In 2014-15 the fee will be $2,000 to certify any parcel for irrigation. “Before land can be certified for irrigation, fairly extensive soil testing has to be done, and the soil tests have to be analyzed looking for excessive salts and other minerals that would make irrigation not a healthy thing for the land,” Stewart said. “This is just to cover the ministry’s costs.” This increase is the first to these fees since 1997. The increased lease rate for cultivated crown land is the second in a three-year increase under a new formula. The old formula used a wheat, barley, summerfallow rotation and year-old price data. The new formula

uses current price projections and includes most commodities typically grown in the province. It will cost an additional $13.79 per acre, on average, to rent this land in 2013, for a total of $33.13. “There’s lots of land renting for $80 to $100 plus per acre so I think this is still quite a bargain,” he said. But he also said there shouldn’t be an advantage for one farmer who has a crown lease over another who rents privately and the lease rates have to be brought a little more in line. The province administers about 317,000 acres of cultivated lease. The third rate increase, to community pasture grazing rates, applies only in the 52 pastures operated under the

Saskatchewan Pasture Program. The cost this season is rising 14 cents per cow per day, and $10 per calf per season. Since most producers talk cost in terms of cow-calf pairs, Stewart said this is the equivalent of an increase from 79 cents to $1 per day for a pair. The SPP offers supervision, facilities and animal management and the minister called the increase substantial but reasonable. The province avoided significant increases post-BSE and during the period of low prices until 2011 and now has to catch up a bit, Stewart said. “Revenue will be put back into operation and maintenance,” he said. “Still, this will just cover costs.”

U.S. LABEL PLAN | FROM PAGE ONE

Cattlemen plan retaliation if COOL changes unsatisfactory The U.S. proposal is awaiting a 60 day public comment period and could still be adjusted before it becomes final. Canadian and American producer and processor groups, as well as the Canadian government will file comments, said Dennis Laycraft, executive vice-president of the cattlemen’s association. Current COOL regulations are estimated to have cost the beef industry $629 million a year, he said. A new, more strict rule could drive that up to $1 billion a year. It may also force some U.S. packers to close because the extra work to segre gat e a n i ma l s by nat i o na l i t y

would add costs. The rule was not specific on how ground meat would be handled but it may require processors to label it according to the amount contributed by each country. “Every time you add more costs to products like that, you push people over to a competing protein,” said Laycraft. Martin Unrau, president of the cattlemen’s association, said livestock producers will continue the fight. “If it is not satisfactory, we are going to appeal it. We are going to find some way to go after some form of compensatory dollar value so we can move forward or else retaliate,”

he said. “The guys who blink last, win and that’s us. We are just never going to give up, ” he said. Groups like R-CALF praised the rule, citing a 2009 letter from U.S. secretary of agriculture Tom Vilsack that encouraged processors to voluntarily provide more detailed information on food labels. “USDA expects that these changes will improve the overall operation of the program and also bring the current mandatory COOL requirements into compliance with U.S. international trade obligations,” Vilsack said in a statement issued March 8.

Last November, R-CALF USA and the Made in the USA Foundation filed a lawsuit alleging the COOL rule is unlawful because it allows meat derived exclusively from animals born, raised, and slaughtered in the U.S. to be mislabelled with a multiple-country label. R-CALF said the current law misinforms consumers about the origin of their meat. “If the secretary finalizes this proposed COOL rule, many of our concerns expressed in our lawsuit will be addressed,” said R-CALF chief executive office Bill Bullard on the group’s website. The rule released March 11 said if

the proposal is accepted the meat labels must name the countries where animals were born, reared and slaughtered. It said packing and processing facilities would bear most of the expense at an estimated cost of $32.7 million with a range of $16.9 million to $47.3 million. Current regulations also allow pork or beef muscle cuts from the U.S. to be combined with products from other countries during a production day. This would not be allowed under the proposed amendment. The rule can be viewed at: www. federalregister.gov/public-inspection.

LOTS OF HELP FOR THE BIG MOVE

FARM POLICY | COMMODITY GROUP

New cereals body gains momentum National group | Organizers hope the council can be operational by later this year BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A Canada-wide commodities council dealing with five of the most widely grown cereal crops in the country could be operational by the end of the year. The Cereals Council of Canada (CCC) plans to include representatives from major stakeholder groups including grain handlers, life science companies, grain processors and primary producers. Jean-Marc Ruest, vice-president of corporate affairs for Richardson International, said council supporters saw a need for a new organization to promote interests of all participants in the sector. “The point we’re at now is that we’ve developed a sufficient critical mass supporting the concept of a cereals council and we’ve tasked a sub-committee representing each of the stakeholder groups … to get together and put a little bit more flesh on the bone so that we can actually have an organization that’s incorporated, that’s funded, that has staff and is ready to go…,” said Ruest, who is listed as a principal participant in the process. “We’ve charged ourselves with having that structure up and going by August (2013).” Organizations participating in the initiative are listed on the website of the Office of the Commissioner of Lobbying of Canada. Council founders have retained Guelph, Ont., consultant Judy Shaw

to act as interim chair and facilitator in the process. “This is truly a collaboration of equal partners and it has to be that way because if it gets off balance in any way, it will be difficult to be successful,” she said. Ruest and Shaw said proponents of the new council are promoting an open and transparent process. Once the council is incorporated, it is expected that member organizations will be required to pay a membership fee. Ruest said the new organization will likely begin with a budget of about half a million dollars. “From a funding perspective, I think that funding has to come from all stakeholders in the process and has to be reflective of their participation.” Shaw said the council hopes to operational by Dec. 31 and discussions have already taken place around some of the key issues facing the cereals industry. “We’re really focusing on some of the most important things … and one of those things is variety registration,” Shaw said. “It’s essential to get that straightened out so that we can attract those investment dollars to Canada.” Although the exact role of the new organization has yet to be determined, Ruest mentioned market development, market access and cereal research and innovation as key areas. He also said the council hopes to work with provincial wheat and barley commissions in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.

LIVESTOCK | COYOTE PREDATION

Move afoot to change coyotes from pests to predators in Alta. BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Lamb and calf losses from coyotes in Alberta have prompted two producer groups to investigate changes to coyotes’ designation under provincial regulations. Alberta Lamb Producers and Alberta Beef Producers think designating coyotes as predators rather than pests could enable them to be compensated for lamb and calf losses. It might also allow Alberta Fish and Wildlife personnel to help with control measures. “It’s a big problem in the sheep industry,” said ALP chair Ronald den Broeder about coyote predation. “Being a pest, it’s under jurisdiction from the counties and every county deals with it differently.” Farmers and ranchers are legally allowed to kill coyotes on their own land or on public land where they have livestock. No compensation for stock losses is provided. The two groups suggest that if coyotes were designated as predators, compensation might be available, the same as it is for livestock kills by grizzly bears and wolves.

Producers hope reclassifying coyotes will help them receive compensation for predation losses. | FILE PHOTO “If they’re designated predators, they would basically come under the compensation programs for losses,” said Fred Hays, policy analyst for

Alberta Beef Producers. But Jim Allen, head of game management for Alberta Fish and Wildlife, said it’s not that simple.

Changing the designation of coyotes would not trigger compensation for producers who lose livestock. It might even make things worse for producers who want to control them. “By removing them as a pest, (it) would remove some of the options that they as producers have for dealing with coyotes on their own. That was one of the reasons it was listed as a pest, so they could legally deal with coyotes,” said Allen. Compensation is not provided just because the killer animal is deemed a predator, he added. “Changing the classification wouldn’t automatically put coyotes on that eligibility list. I think (producers are) operating on the assumption that that change in class would make them eligible but it won’t.” Eligibility for compensation is determined by a committee that reviews the programs every few years and that process is now underway. From that perspective, input from lamb and beef producers is well timed. Lamb producer and ALP director Bill Gibson said coyote predation is so severe in some areas that lamb producers have quit the business. He

likens coyote attacks to muggings. “It’s a situation similar to that. There’s emotions involved as well as practical financial problems. As a director, I have dealt with a number of people that are just at their wit’s end.” The ALP has been working to encourage greater lamb production in the province because demand exceeds supply but coyote problems have proven to be a limiting factor. Den Broeder said compensation for losses could help, though he acknowledges additional cost to the province will be a hurdle. He said the problem of coyote predation requires a multi-pronged approach, with producers taking protective measures and the province also offering solutions. Hays suggested greater involvement from Alberta Fish and Wildlife could result in better statistics on coyote numbers and predation cases so informed decisions could be made about control. “We do need coyotes … but somehow there has to be a balance and I think if wildlife (department) were to be involved, certainly helping to manage that, it would probably be a better thing overall.”

Variety selection key to disease control Crop rotation also important | Scientist says canola-cereal rotation is not long enough STORIES BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

LACOMBE, Alta. — Neil Olstad used to buy his seed based on its yield potential. In the future, he plans to take a closer look at disease resistance. “I have a serious interest in leaf disease,” Olstad, who farms near Millet, Alta., said after spending a day in Lacombe listening to cereal disease specialists. “Every year it seems like it is getting worse. I suffered a fair loss two years ago because I didn’t spray enough. I am for sure going to spray every acre of cereals this year and the wheat maybe twice.” Spraying for leaf disease wasn’t the only recommendation discussed at the cereal disease workshop. Kelly Turkington, a research scientists with Agriculture Canada, said breaking the canola-wheat cycle and adding more variety will allow Mother Nature to help control disease. He said research at Agriculture Canada has discovered that the shift from conventional tillage to conservation tillage has not affected the amount of scald or net blotch in field. Crop rotation is the factor most consistently associated with

KELLY TURKINGTON AGRICULTURE CANADA

increased levels of scald and net blotch, he added, particularly growing barley on barley and a wheatcanola-wheat rotation. “Ideally you want to see at least two years of a non-host crop,” he said. Whether a variety is susceptible or resistant is the next most common factor in cereal disease. “Variety and crop rotation were the key factors,” he told the workshop. Turkington said the most common rotation of canola-cereal is not long enough to allow for the decomposition of infected barley and wheat re si d u e an d bla c k le g i n f e s t e d canola residue and clubroot resting spores. “What we’re looking at is a lack of diversity and time,” he said. “It’s one of our major risk factors as far as disease. Really, what’s happen-

ing is you’re allowing for build up for infested crop reissues and pathogen structures. “With a tight rotation of continuous cereal or cereal every second year, it’s not long enough for Mother Nature to take care of that resting body for you and decompose it.” Turkington said switching varieties can cut disease in half, comparable to spraying the crop, although a better option may be to grow another crop to break the disease cycle. In Europe, researchers found that growing a mixture of barley, oats and triticale in the same field as feed can also reduce disease by 50 percent. Fungicides have the biggest impact on disease, but Turkington said the choice of fungicide is the least important decision. If they’re registered for disease, they will all work reasonably well. He said timing is the more important factor, with the most significant disease reduction achieved when the fungicide is applied at the flag leaf stage. There are exceptions, especially in years of high levels of infection, he added. Not all varieties have the same response to fungicide applications. A

susceptible variety will respond better to a fungicide while a resistant variety will have little benefit. Turkington said there are no silver bullets to controlling diseases in crops. An integrated approach to crop, insect or weed control works best. Olstad said he plans to add more crops to his canola-wheat rotation now that the price of grain has increased. “I want to do more barley, some oats and peas, perhaps fababeans,” he said. “I will also select the different varieties of barleys for resistance. The ones I picked were the worst.” Bryan Adam of Stony Plain, Alta., said he attended the workshop to learn more about disease. “It’s obvious more management is needed and scouting is getting more important all the time,” he said. “Everybody knows our rotations have been short. Rotation is the biggest effort we need to put in now, and rotating varieties as well.” Adam said he also plans to focus more on disease resistance when choosing varieties. “I didn’t realize there was quite as much difference between varieties as there is. I know I’m going to pay more attention in the future.”

LACOMBE, Alta. — Fusarium head blight has not reached epidemic proportions in Alberta, but farmers need to be aware of the disease that can devastate crops and harm livestock. “This disease is spreading in Alberta, but there is no need to panic if we adopt best management practices,” Krishan Kumar told farmers at the Cereal Leaf Disease Conference in Lacombe. Fusarium head blight, also known as scab or tombstone, is most commonly caused by fusarium graminearum and affects wheat, barley and oats. “Prevention is the best option for this disease where it is not already well established,” said Kumar, a cereal pathologist with Alberta Agriculture. “Management of this disease is important as it has significant effects on quality of grain.” Fusarium reduces yields and can cause seed decay, seedling blight, stem and root rot in seed. It also causes foaming in beer and will turn livestock and poultry off their feed. The disease produces mycotoxins such as deoxynicalenol (DON), which reduce feed intake in livestock. It’s estimated that fusarium has caused $50 to $300 million of losses annually in Canada since 1990. In Alberta, fusarium is more common in southern and central regions. In 2010, researchers discovered a new type of mycotoxin in 10 percent of the fusarium graminearum samples collected in Alberta, which appears to be more aggressive, Kumar said. Farmers should not knowingly use seed infected with fusarium and should use seed that tested negative for the disease. He said spilled grain that is known to have fusarium should be cleaned up and composted. Using seed varieties that are resistant or tolerant to the disease will help reduce the risk of fusarium head blight. Seeding non-host crops such as canola for at least three years on infected fields will help reduce the spread. Farmers are also encouraged to use registered fungicides and limit the movement of straw or hay from infected fields.

WEATHER | SNOW

Long winter continues to cause problems for farmers BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Saskatchewan residents don’t need official data to tell them the winter of 2012-13 has been one of the snowiest ever. They have been shoveling, plowing and blowing snow since it arrived early last fall. Sheldon Kyle, of Kenray Ranch near Redvers, said calving season has

been interesting to say the least, as one storm after another added to the snow piles. “The main challenge is our calving barn was backed up for two days,” he said after a recent storm. “Just because of the weather we couldn’t get the newborns out.” That turned out to be a good thing when more bad weather hit. D i g g i n g o u t gat e s a n d ro a d s became near-daily chores.

The Kyle family uses bale grazing to feed but only until calving begins, so the cows were already in the yard by the time the snow really began to accumulate. “There were a couple of days we couldn’t get feed to the heifers,” he said. Mostly, he said, the excess snow added more work to the regular chores that all farmers and ranchers have to do.

Gina Ressler, meteorologist with The Weather Network, said winter isn’t yet done. The three-month outlook suggests active weather through March and into April and the possibility of more snow. Few farmers would turn away moisture, particularly after last fall. “We came into the winter a little bit drier,” she noted. “We’ve made up for some of the dryness across the Prairies through the winter.

You have a relatively healthy snow pack especially across Saskatchewan.” However, all this snow must melt. Both Ressler and Kyle said some water challenges are likely ahead. Meanwhile, Regina residents last week were focused on whether the city would beat its 1955-56 snowfall record of 194.6 centimetres. It turns out the weather station that recorded that is no longer operating.

U.S. exchanges get Canadian business ICE Futures | Future of prairie-specific futures contracts uncertain BY ED WHITE

Delivery is guaranteed by July 31

WINNIPEG BUREAU

The Chicago wheat futures contract has about 465,000 open positions. The Kansas City contract has 162,000. Minneapolis has about 45,000. The Winnipeg wheat contract has zero open interest. That also applies to the Winnipeg barley contract. At the beginning of March the durum contract had a couple of dozen open positions in the nearby month and nothing in later months. Does that signify the death of Winnipeg-based ICE Futures Canada’s attempt to establish prairie-specific futures contracts for the grains the Canadian Wheat Board formerly dominated? Representatives of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and the Minneapolis Grain Exchange were too polite to say that out loud at a recent panel discussion in Winnipeg about wheat futures hedging, but ICE Futures Canada’s chief executive officer acknowledged the moribund nature of his new contracts. “We’re lacking liquidity so far,” said Brad Vannan during the discussion, which occurred during the Grainworld conference. But he didn’t throw in the towel. “We believe that in time we will see some of (the success of the liquid Winnipeg canola futures contract) in our wheat markets.” The wheat futures contract world has been in bubbly ferment for the past year, with Winnipeg launching its contracts and the Minneapolis and Chicago exchanges moving to fill the hedging void left by the end of the CWB monopoly. As well, the CME said it was buying the Kansas City Board of Trade and announced plans to move its operations to Chicago. W i n n i p e g ’s c o n t r a c t s w e r e launched with minimal initial trading and what little interest there was has flat-lined, with the contracts now inactive. The Minneapolis contract is being used by most Canadian futuresbased hedgers because it is based on hard red spring wheat, which is what most prairie farmers grow, although some use the Kansas City hard red winter wheat contract because it better represents some other types of prairie wheat. Some western Canadian risk managers also prefer the Kansas City contract because of its higher liquidity and feel it is more reflective of wheat complex fundamentals than Minneapolis, even if its underlying wheat specification isn’t as good a match.

CWB launches spring pool and futures choice contract BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The CWB has unveiled details of two new pool offerings. The Spring Pool and the Futures Choice Spring Pool were launched last week and are open to farmers on a first-come, first-served basis. “The launch of CWB’s new spring pools is timed perfectly for farmers who may still be on the fence or haven’t committed all their grain yet, especially for those who believe next year’s prices will be lower,” said CWB president and chief executive officer Ian White in a news release. “It’s also a great opportunity to clean out their bins and ensure smooth delivery through the season.”

Futures and options volume should continue to grow, she said. B o t h t h e Mi n n e a p o l i s G ra i n Exchange and the CME Group held educational and discussion sessions at Grainworld. Vannan said ICE plans to maintain the new grain contracts it launched last year and suggested it might have the patience to keep them on the

board for years. Vannan said contracts can be moribund for years, then come to life if something in the structure of the market or industry changes. That happened with the MATIF wheat contract, the European wheat contract, which had little trade for six years after it was launched, but then dramatically surged to healthy liquidity around 2006-07 when Black Sea exporters became a major factor, causing European and American wheat prices to diverge. “There is a recognized need within the European market for some differentiation from the U.S. contracts that they had been using, but it took a little bit of time for that contract to catch on,” said Vannan. Whether the specifics of the western Canadian wheat crop and its markets are different enough to pro-

voke a similar surge to life for Winnipeg wheat futures at some future point is not known, but Vannan made it clear ICE is willing to wait. Combined with the still-strong interest of Chicago and Minneapolis to win Western Canada’s wheat hedging business, the ferment in western Canadian wheat risk management is likely to continue to bubble.

American ethanol industry risks not meeting mandate ‘Blend wall’ | As U.S. refiners near government mandated outputs for ethanol, analysts are concerned what the impact will be on corn prices BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

KISSIMMEE, Fla. — The U.S. ethanol industry has crashed into the blend wall. Ethanol promoters have been warning for years that the 10 percent blend used in the vast majority of fuel pumps across the United States eventually won’t be good enough to meet the ever-expanding biofuel mandates. That day has arrived. U.S. gasoline consumption is expected to be 134 billion gallons in 2012-13, according to the Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute. Refiners typically blend ethanol at a 10 percent (E10) level, which would result in 13.4 billion gallons of ethanol demand. The U.S. Renewable Fuel Standard calls for 13.8 billion gallons of ethanol use in 2013. “We’re right there,” Chip Flory, editor of Pro Farmer, said during an interview at the 2013 Commodity Classic. “We’re bumping right up against the blend wall.” Arlan Suderman, senior market analyst with Water Street Advisory, said the wall limits the upside for corn prices. “(It) is limiting the ability of new crop corn to be able to rally,” he said.

Chad Hart, associate professor of economics at Iowa State University, doesn’t think the blend wall will impact corn prices until 2014 and 2015. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has approved E15 blends for cars 2001 and newer and E85 blends for flex fuel vehicles. While there isn’t much of either blend sold in the U.S. market, he feels there is likely enough to reach the 13.8 billion gallon corn ethanol mandate in 2013. However, if nothing changes the industry will undoubtedly have trouble meeting the 2014 mandate of 14.4 billion gallons and the 2015 mandate of 15 billion gallons. Those future mandates will force blenders to use up their stored renewable identification number (RIN) credits. A RIN is a paper credit blenders earned in previous years when they blended more ethanol than they were obligated to under the federal mandate. They can use those credits to meet current obligations without actually blending the ethanol. Hart estimates blenders are holding 2.5 to three billion gallons worth of RINs. “ Yo u ’ re p u l l i n g s o m e (c o r n ) demand away as the RINs get utilized,” he said in an interview separate from the Commodity Classic event. “Does it put in a hard ceiling (on

corn prices)? No. But it does soften the upside.” The blend wall isn’t the only factor that could prompt blenders to start using RINs. Ethanol has been trading at a sizable discount to gasoline prices since 2011. If ethanol prices rise in relation to gasoline, blenders will replace corn demand with RIN demand. A shift to E15 blends would eliminate the blend wall concern in the corn market. The EPA has approved the blend but few fuel retailers have installed E15 pumps and consumers are wary about gassing up with E15. “We’ve told our consumers for the past 30 years that a 10 percent blend was about as much as their car could handle,” said Hart. “Now we’re going to turn around and say, ‘forget that, 15 percent is as much as your car can handle.’ That’s going to take some time for consumers to be willing to test that.” Suderman said if gasoline prices remain high, market forces will shift towards E15 and E85 blends, helping corn demand recover. There’s also a possibility of the EPA exploring E30 blends. He knows somebody in the biofuel industry who recently met with EPA officials and they had a lot of questions about E30, which is an ethanol blend that provides the optimal fuel economy.

U.S. gasoline use is not rising fast enough to keep pace with ethanol mandates based on 10 percent blends. Ethanol makers hope to boost the blend rate. If they don’t, it could hurt demand for corn, the key feedstock for the renewable fuel. | FILE PHOTO

HEDGING | PROTECTION

Growers can reduce risk by using options-based hedging HEDGE ROW

ED WHITE

armers face massive uncertainty about crop prices this fall. Leading analysts forecast huge new crop price ranges, making 2013-14 possibly the most profitable ever, or one of worst. It’s impossible to call right now. Many say U.S. corn, which sets the price baseline for prairie barley and has a big impact on wheat, could sell for $4 per bushel this fall, or for $10. Soybeans, which set the price for canola, could sell for $9 per bu., or $20. That’s a big danger. It’s also a big opportunity. The financial implications for farmers are overwhelming if prices approach either end of the range. And that situation might just make this the best year ever for farmers to consider using options-

based hedging strategies. Options can both protect against downside risk and keep the upside open — for a cost, but zero risk. A lot of prudent farmers will — or have already — taken advantage of profitable forward prices to lock in some new crop prices. But most won’t lock in prices for more than half of their production because of weather dangers. That leaves a lot of unpriced crop growing in the field this summer. And thousands of farmers won’t hedge much of their crops at all, choosing to take their chances this fall once the grain is in the bin. Both groups of farmers, the semihedged and the unhedged, should consider options this year. There’s an unusual amount of downside to protect against, and a wonderful amount of upside to hope for. Options-based strategies can be done through a broker or through most of the grain companies active on the Prairies. It’s easiest to do them through the grain company. It’s also easiest for many farmers to have those options tools attached to their other arrangements since that puts all their risk management in one basket. If you’re going to deliver to that company anyway, why not?

But then you’re subject to their spreads, which can be as bad as the U.S. dollar rates that some banks offer. “They ain’t doing it for free,” options risk management specialist David Der win of PI Financial told me recently. “Some of the spreads are so big you could drive a combine through them.” The main feature of options that puts most farmers off is the premium one must pay to buy one, similar to an insurance premium. That’s cash out of pocket and something some producers just can’t get over. But there are also ways to minimize that cost. Farmers who are active options users often employ “collars,” which involve buying one option and subsidizing the premium by writing an option. Essentially, a farmer can buy an option to open up the upside or protect against the downside for less than the full price of the premium if he writes an option that caps the gains from the position. It sounds complicated, but it isn’t. People such as Derwin specialize in them. There are also “short-dated new crop options,” which the CME Group, which owns the Chicago Board of Trade crop futures, is now working hard to promote. So far, they seem pretty popular

with American farmers. “They are embracing short-dated new crop options to no end,” Susan Sutherland, a senior director with CME Group, told me a couple of weeks ago. These options reduce the premium cost of options by giving them a far shorter time horizon. Premiums reflect two risks: the inherent gain or loss between the strike price and the current price (the “intrinsic value”) and an amount for the potential of the underlying futures price to change between now and when it expires. This “time value” can be significant, and the short-dated new crop options chop off much of the time that the option lives, therefore chopping off much of the risk included in the premium. If you looked at options years ago and didn’t like them, it’s time to take another look. They’re easier to use now. Grain companies are doing much more than they used to, brokers are using them more often, and some of the exchanges are offering new products that should meet some farmers’ needs better. In any year options are worth considering, but this year, with an incredible range of price possibilities staring farmers in the face —

prices that could provide record profits or big losses — options might be the key to turning this into another good year or maybe a great one.

Herd expansion hangs on feed supply

Open market could help barley growers, says analyst

Beef numbers down | Ranchers will be looking to rebuild herds, says CCA president BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

The Canadian beef herd remains stable at 12.3 million cattle with some regional expansion happening in the West. The Statistics Canada herd inventory report for Jan. 1 said numbers had gone up by about half a percent from last year with fewer beef cows but some increase in heifer retention. However, with more cows going to slaughter, the calf crop is not going to rebuild in the next year, said the inventory analysis. According to Canfax, this is the smallest beef herd since 1993. For Manitoba beef producer Martin Unrau, the possibility of expansion anywhere is remote due to drought and feed shortages in the eastern Prairies and central Canada. “With the drought and lack of feed that we have, I am not seeing it,” said Unrau, who is also president of the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association. “Everybody is poised to rebuild. We are still 60 days from grass and there are guys running out of feed now.” He has personally bought more heifers because he had some extra feed, but does not see a trend toward rebuilding. “If corn goes down to $5 and barley goes down to $3.50, and supply and demand stays the way it is for beef globally, we are in a position of tremendous opportunity,” he said. The number of beef cows on Cana-

Most of the decline occurred in Eastern Canada while the West is gearing up to rebuild. The greatest growth is happening in Alberta where overall growth was 2.2

percent. British Columbia also reported a slight increase over the national average at under just one percent. The number of heifers available for breeding this spring was up by 5.6 percent rising to 569,800 head. The total Alberta cattle inventory is at slightly more than five million

and accounts for 40 percent of the national herd. Saskatchewan has the second largest herd at 2.45 million head and Ontario is third at 1.7 million, a decline of 0.09 percent from 2012. Across the nation there are 83,525 farms with cattle and calves, down slightly from the January 2012 report and down 3.6 percent since 2011. With fewer cattle available, slaughter numbers are also down. Just over three million were killed last year. Exports rose 14 percent, with 702,500 leaving the country. However, this is almost half of what was shipped in the peak year of 2008. The national dairy herd is constant at 1.3 million cows and heifers. Most reside in Ontario and Quebec. The national hog count is down about half a percent from last year at 12.7 million hogs on 7,125 farms in Canada. The number of pig farms is down nearly two percent from last year. There are 1.2 million breeding females. Domestic hog slaughter remained virtually unchanged for the last three years at just below 21.3 million head. Canada exported 5.7 million hogs in 2012, down 2.6 percent from 2011. This was nearly half of the peak year of 2007. The number of sheep increased slightly to 892,700 head with the largest jump being in the number of replacement ewe lambs being held back for breeding. The number of market lambs increased 2.4 percent from 2012.

Grain costly for processors: industry officials Maltsters and pasta makers | Processors hesitant to enter into long-term price contracts BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Farmers tend to have little sympathy for maltsters and pasta makers, but senior managers from both industries say processing companies don’t have it easy. Farmers may believe that grain is cheap for beer and pasta makers, but the industry insists it’s a significant make-or-break part of their operating costs. “It’s our biggest cost, is barley,” Pat Rowan of BARI Canada, which buys malting barley for Anheuser Busch, said in an interview. “It’s a huge cost for us.” Pricing durum wrong can devastate a pasta manufacturer’s bottom line, John Griffiths told the recent Grainworld conference in Winnipeg. “Manufacturers are vulnerable. You have an industry that has overcapacity and is very, very competitive,” said Griffiths, who spent most of the past 10 years working for a pastamaking company and who now works for American grain company CHS. Farmers have complained for decades about how little of the price of a bottle of beer comes from the cost of barley, which is the foundation of the drink. Statements such as, “there

are only seven cents of barley in a bottle of beer,” have been repeated endlessly at Prairie farm meetings, with the general sense that maltsters can afford to pay more and probably w o u l d n ’ t n o t i c e a s u b s t a nt i a l increase in the crop price. However, Rowan said barley prices have a large impact on the final cost of beer and dominate the variable costs of production. Labour costs can be managed through layoffs or eliminating shifts if costs need to be managed. However, there is no replacement for barley and maltsters need to buy it regardless of the price, which is a big risk for them. Rowan told Grainworld that elevator companies don’t like dealing with maltsters and malting barley buyers, even ones as powerful as his, because they don’t like moving small num-

bers of grain cars to malt plants. The malting industry is also struggling to keep barley growers as other crops are more financially attractive. He predicted that the industry in Ca n a d a w o u l d p ro b a b l y s o o n become like the U.S. industry, which depends on direct production contracts with farmers and closely coordinated farmer-maltster production and transportation. Griffiths said durum processors deal with an extremely volatile market and are afraid to price too far ahead if that means offering a premium price to farmers. If they pay too much and farmers get a big crop, their competitors can pay far less and do much better financially. The lack of a liquid futures contract for durum exacerbates the problem. “There’s been a long, longstanding

reluctance for those manufacturers to lock in long-term price contracts without a way to manage their flat price risk relative to long term volatility,” said Griffiths. Farmers often challenge durum buyers with the example of malt barley buyers, who generally offer fixed price contracts, but Griffiths said pasta is different than beer. “A strand of spaghetti is nothing more than kernels of durum rearranged in a straight line,” said Griffiths, who guessed that the cost of durum makes up a far larger portion of the cost of pasta than malt barley does of beer. Durum is 60 to 65 percent of the cost of producing pasta, so any significant change in the cost of the durum has a big impact on profitability. Farmers might think durum prices don’t matter because the price of a box of pasta never seems to change, but Griffith said that doesn’t reflect t h e p r i c i n g b at t l e s t hat o c c u r between manufacturers and grocery store chains. “Pasta … is traded as a commodity,” he said. “Just because … you as a consumer don’t see the price change … year over year doesn’t mean that the price of that pasta isn’t changing.”

Price volatility expected to diminish BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

The open market might cure farmers’ unhappiness with low and unpredictable returns for feed barley. Analyst Harold Davis, an expert on market pricing structures, says barley price changes have generally lagged U.S. corn and often don’t do a good job of reflecting market dynamics. However, price spreads and relationships should narrow now that the barley market is fully open. “With an open market and more active arbitrage, those two will come to resemble each other a little bit more in price,” Davis said in a presentation at Grainworld. “Now that we will have more efficient pricing of barley, with a larger continental feed market, we may see a re-appraisal of barley values.” Davis said prairie barley has generally traded in a 25 percent range compared to U.S. cash corn price changes: a valuation of 60 to 85 percent of the price of U.S. corn. That’s a “big, fat value range,” Davis said, but it’s not the worst feature of the relationship. He said there have been times in the past five years when barley was worth as much as 120 percent of the value of corn and other times when it was as little as 50 percent. Those extremes should fade now that the border is fully open, he added. More barley trades freely now that the CWB monopoly is gone, moving back and forth across the border as local prices change. “In an open market, where trucks can pass back and forth across the border, you’ll notice the strong convergence.” Davis said he expects the range of barley prices compared to corn to narrow from 25 percent to perhaps 15 to 20 percent. That would give farmers more trust in the barley market because it would seem less divorced from price moves in the general corn-dominated North American feedgrain market. Its value relative to corn might also increase if new or better uses are found for the crop now that it is trading more freely. It could move up from 60 to 85 percent of the value of corn to 70 to 90 percent. A better connection between barley and corn should make it seem a safer crop to farmers. What could arise is the kind of situation that has long existed between barley prices in Saskatchewan and Alberta. Saskatchewan prices tend to be zero to 50 cents per bushel lower than in Alberta, with an average of 31 cents, Davis said. The spread never becomes huge because the two markets can be easily arbitraged. The same should occur with the western Canadian and U.S. feedgrain markets because huge spreads and big price change lags are expected to shrink now that there is nothing to stop farmers trucking grain across the border.

WHEAT | LOWER PRICES

Improved U.S. moisture, bigger world crop pressure wheat MARKET WATCH

D’ARCE McMILLAN

Lower prices should stimulate new demand from ethanol makers

heat prices fell again last week after blizzards blanketed large parts of

the U.S. Plains and Midwest with much needed moisture-laden snow. The lower price should stimulate new demand because it is now cheaper than corn. A growing number of U.S. ethanol makers are now bidding for wheat and U.S. railway BNSF has cut its rate to ship soft wheat from Chicago to Texas and Kansas in response to demand for feed from cattle producers. This domestic U.S. demand might help offset slower than expected U.S. wheat exports. It is still too early to know how the hard red winter crop will perform. The snow gave a little breathing room but where soils are still frozen, a lot of the snowmelt will run off. This

will help refill dugouts and streams — important for livestock watering — but won’t do much for recharging soil moisture. One immediate effect was to raise the level on the Mississippi River. A forecast March 11 showed the river level at Cape Girardeau, Missouri, just south of where the Mississippi and Missouri join at St. Louis, rising nearly 18 feet to just shy of flood level by the end of the week, but then falling again after the snow has melted. Kansas is the largest winter wheat producer and the moisture helped improve crop conditions, but they are still terrible. As of March 10, the Kansas winter wheat crop condition was rated as

32 percent poor to very poor, 41 percent fair, and 28 percent good to excellent. That is an improvement from February when it was 36 percent poor to very poor, 41 percent fair and 23 percent good to excellent. But last year at the same time the crop was 11 percent poor to very poor, 36 percent fair, and 60 percent good to excellent. If it gets dry again it will put the pressure back on wheat prices. But there is a ceiling on the market due to the expectation of larger production in Europe and a recovery in the Black Sea region after problems last year with dry weather. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization expects world

wheat output to rise to 690 million tonnes, up 4.3 percent from the 2012 and the second-largest crop after 2011. Europe and Ukraine will likely increase exports if the weather cooperates and large crops are harvested. But analyst SovEcon suggests Russia’s exports next year will stay at the current crop year’s low level of about 10 million tonnes. In 2011-12 it exported about 21.6 million tonnes of wheat. SovEcon says the government will likely take the opportunity of a larger crop to rebuild its stocks, which have fallen to minimal levels.

A good volume of Canadian feeders is heading south, but prices are lower this year, reflecting the weaker fed market and feedlot losses. Steers and heifers 500-700 pounds are $21-$28 per cwt. lower than 2012 but are steady with 2011. Basis levels for 850 lb. steers have been weaker than normal through February, leading to increased feeder exports. Weekly feeder exports to Feb. 23 totalled 6,151, up 28 percent from the same week last year.

OILSEED COMPETITION | FIGHT OVER HIGH OLEIC MARKET

CRAIG’S VIEW

Canola must respond to new soybean challenge

t’s a new kind of war over oil. The United Soybean Board in the United States is excited about a new high oleic soybean that it thinks will compete in the edible oil market with Canadian canola. It may have a point, since the USB is throwing $60 million at the new crop, along with partners DuPont Pioneer and Monsanto, to get it right. Even in the world of high-tech crop development, that’s a lot of money, representing about two-thirds of the soybean checkoff. To put that in perspective, the price tag also equals 20 percent of the federal Canadian agriculture budget dedicated to research, adaptation and innovation. American farmers have deep pockets, and when they put their money and their resolve behind a crop, Canadian industry must take notice. It would be helpful if the federal government would pay attention, as well. The new high oleic type has emerged because U.S. soybean growers are determined to regain some of their market share in edible oil. They have lost 28 percent of the American market to canola and palm oil, at the incredible rate of 1.8 million tonnes every year since 2008. Processors are moving away from trans fats in partially hydrogenated oils used in processed food and fryers, where highly stable oil is needed. The USB hopes that the new varieties will make up 30 percent of the massive soybean crop by 2020. At least one industry spokesperson says “the battle is on” for the edible oil market. However, said Dave Dzisiak of Dow AgroSciences, the threat to canola oil is not as dramatic as it might seem. Firstly, the U.S. market is not self-sufficient in vegetable oil. Secondly, soybeans are grown more for protein than oil. And thirdly, high oleic canola tastes better, is lower in saturated fats and has an established track record, he said. It would also be a big change for food manufacturers to switch to a different oil with a different taste and processing properties. Still, the threat from new soybean types

to Canadian canola farmers is there, and it is not the only one. Indeed, the biggest threat to canola may be canola. U.S. farmers are starting to grow more canola, and with their climate, may be able to improve on Canadian yields if they can nail down the seeding and harvest timing. Even if a full-blown battle does not develop, the Canadian canola industry — and preferably, the federal government under its innovation agenda — would be wise to step up protection of this major crop. Eighty-five percent of Canadian canola is sold to markets around the world, and is worth billions of dollars to Canada. The biggest buyer, of both oil and meal, is the United States at $2.6 billion, while raw seed goes mainly to China, Japan and Mexico. It’s a big market, and canola is seeing its share of problems. Further research is necessary into canola agronomy, particularly into reducing shattering and improving canola’s water and nutrient uptake capabilities. The Canola Council of Canada has done an impressive job of marketing western Canadian canola, but in this environment, even more might have to be done to maintain Canadian canola’s reputation as the best oil grown in the cleanest environment on the finest land. It is also a very stable oil, excellent for food processing, and is low in saturated fats. In addition, new canola varieties could be developed to contain higher nutritional — and even nutraceutical — content, including the widest range of omega fatty acids. High oleic soybeans are a new threat to the Canadian canola industry, although U.S. canola may be a bigger one. Either way, western Canadian canola’s journey to agronomic and nutritional improvement must continue, along with the marketing to support it.

TRANSPORTATION | TWO SOLITUDES

Rail service legislation exposes deep divide between shippers and carriers NATIONAL VIEW

BARRY WILSON

he iconic literary masterpiece Two Solitudes, written by Montreal professor Hugh MacLennan in 1945, has defined for generations of Canadians the French-English divide that once was Canada’s defining dynamic. That famous description perfectly applies to today’s debate between commodity shippers and commodi-

ty carriers — let’s say farmers and railways. A rail car and a steamer passing in the night. As Parliament has been dealing with the government’s attempt to push through Bill C-52, rail freight legislation addressing persistent shipper complaints about excessive railway power in their quasi-monopoly position on most parts of the Prairies and rural Canada, MPs have been presented with two solitudes, two universes really. Here is Bob Ballantyne, chair of the Coalition of Rail Shippers, at a Feb. 26 meeting of the House of Commons transport committee studying the bill. “The fundamental underlying problem is one of market dominance,” he told MPs. “The rail freight market is not a normally functioning

competitive market. It is dominated by the sellers.” Transport minister Denis Lebel made the same point when he appeared before the committee to defend the bill, arguing that there is a clear market imbalance that government — even a market oriented Conservative government — must try to fix. “The shipper will be in the driver’s seat,” said Lebel. “He gets to trigger arbitration, identify the type of service desired and frame the issues to be addressed in front of the arbitrator.” The rural Quebec Conservative MP began by saying there is nothing about the commercial relationship between shippers and railways that represents the free market ideal of equal partners negotiating terms. Fast-forward several weeks to March 5 when Railway Association of

Canada president Michael Bourque was before the same committee in his self-described role as “chief myth buster for the railway industry.” Myth one, he said, is that freight shippers are served by only two national railways “that don’t compete for business. Nothing could be further from the truth.” Instead, Canada has a “vibrant rail industry” that includes 55 railways ranging from national to shortline. “Railroads, and especially CN and CP, compete with each other, with other modes of transport and as part of a globally competitive supply chain with various carriers in other countries,” he told MPs. “Railways are competing all the time, which is why they constantly work with customers to improve their productivity.” And what about that “not a normally

functioning market” argument, he asked. “Just because there are few players doesn’t mean that there isn’t competition, does not mean there is an abuse of market power.” What are members of the transport committee to do since most of them have never met a captive shipper nor understand what trucking or alternative rail options a farmer or grain terminal has if a train doesn’t show up as promised? Next week will tell the tale when Conservative MPs decide whether to support railway arguments for weaker legislation. They will not. Nor are they likely to support shipper arguments for tougher legislation against the railways. Expect a Conservative compromise.

& OPEN FORUM AUSTRALIA | FARMING CRISIS

FARM LOBBY | FRAGMENTED

Wheat farming in crisis in Western Australia

ustralia grows five percent of the world’s wheat crop but provides 12 to 15 percent of the wheat annually traded on the global market. Western Australia, on 12 million acres, grows 80 percent of the wheat exported by Australia and many wheat farmers in the state are in big trouble. Several poor seasons, increases in input costs and a lack of crop insurance or any form of government income guarantee or subsidy are all contributing to driving ever increasing numbers of Western Australian wheat farmers to the wall. One rural politician has forecast that 30 percent of the state’s wheat land may not be planted this season because of lack of finance. For many farmers, either they, their

bank or both have had enough of the huge risks associated with the cost of growing wheat in the 21st century in Western Australia. The number of wheat farmers has halved in 20 years and farm size has increased as neighbour has bought neighbour. As a result, cropping programs costing more than $1 million are not unusual. The average farm debt in Western Australia is around $892,000 Cdn and average five-year yields are 485 kilograms per acre, although they vary greatly from year to year. According to a farm consultant, the variable costs to grow an acre of wheat in Western Australia is $127 to $135 per acre. Approximately 350 farmers, politicians and bankers recently attended a

meeting in Kulin in the heart of the state’s wheat country. It was organized by the local representatives of the West Australian Farmers Federation and was called “Agriculture in Crisis — looking for a brighter future.” There were no surprises and no answers, just disillusion and frustration. Western Australian wheat growers have been slowly sliding into financial trouble for years as their debts have increased and their terms of trade have been eroded. The most recent figures show a significant decline in the number of f a r m e r s Au s t ra l i a - w i d e : f ro m 246,000 in 1996-97 to 192,600 in 2010, according to ABS. That’s a 53,400 decline in the number of farm borrowers in just 14 years, but look at how much 196,000 farm-

ers have borrowed and how quickly their borrowings are increasing. Fewer farmers are borrowing more. According to the Reserve Bank of Australia, rural debt was $1.29 billion in 1965, $2.45 billion in 1975, $7.16 billion in 1985, $17.76 billion in 1995, $43.35 billion in 2005, $62.24 billion in 2011 and $66.2 billion in 2012. The number of farmers leaving the land in Western Australia is greater than the national average, with a decline of 40 percent over the past 30 years. On average, 300 people have left the industry every month. The data also show a quarter of farmers are 65 and older and the median age of farmers is 13 years higher than that of other professions. We have a problem in Western Australia, and it doesn’t look like there are any answers except, maybe, from the Chinese. Over the last decade, the Chinese have bought many millions of tonnes of iron from Western Australia and are now showing an ever-increasing interest in buying Western Australian wheat farms. They have bought 250,000 acres, although some say it’s twice that amount, or more. The truth is, nobody knows. With the world paranoid about food security, it looks like the Chinese have their eyes set on Western Australia, and there is no law to stop them buying as much land as they want. There are many elderly farmers who would welcome a buyer knocking on their door, chequebook in hand. Roger Crook is an agricultural writer and former Australian farmer.

FARM INCOME | VARIABILITY

Farm income numbers positive but surprising HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

he most recent farm income statistics paint a positive picture with record Canadian farm income last year and a strong outlook for this year. Drilling down, the numbers tell interesting stories at the individual farm level. The average net operating income of Canadian farms is forecast at slightly more than $74,000 for 2012, more than 50 percent higher than the average of the previous five years. Net operating income is the amount of cash producers can withdraw from their operations for business use or

other purposes. The average grain and oilseed farm is at $106,000 for 2012, while the average cattle farm is at only $17,333. The cattle industry can rejoice that net operating income for 2012 is expected to be 34 percent higher than the previous year, but there’s still a huge financial gap between cattle operations and all other types of farms. Many farms have both grain and cattle, but for this classification, grain farms are operations where more than 50 percent of the income comes from grain while cattle farms, dominated by cow-calf operations, have more than 50 percent of their income from cattle. Net operating income for the average hog farm declined by 39 percent in 2012, but it’s still more than $54,000, well above what cattle producers are earning. Potato farms are doing well at $249,000, as are poultry and egg operations at $198,000. The average dairy farm is at $145,000. Another way of looking at the numbers is net operating income per family, since more than one family is

often involved in a farm. For this, provincial comparisons have been calculated. Across the Prairies, the average net operating income per family ranges from $36,000 in Alberta to nearly $41,000 in Saskatchewan. Ontario and Quebec are in a similar range. However, the number is dismal in British Columbia, where many farm sectors are struggling. There, the average net operating income per family is a mere $8,500. Off-farm income plays a huge role in financial viability. Other family income is $74,000 in Manitoba, $95,000 in Saskatchewan, $124,000 in Alberta and $100,000 in B.C. So, even though farm income has hit record highs, the majority of farm family income continues to come from off-farm sources. Breaking it down by farm type, grain and oilseed farms earn the most off-farm income at an average of more than $96,000. Cattle producing families earn an average of $94,000 in other family income and dairy farms are the lowest at $43,000.

The statistics for assets, liabilities and net worth are from 2011, and they show that the average grain farmer in Canada has assets of nearly $2.2 million, far m debt of just $307,000 and a net worth of $1.87 million. Beef producers are at the bottom with an average net worth of slightly more than $1.1 million. The highest average net worth is enjoyed by the sectors that have the highest farm incomes: poultry at $4.2 million per farm, potatoes at $3.1 million and dairy at $2.7 million. Breaking it down by province, Saskatchewan farms have a surprisingly low net worth, considering that the province has been leading the nation in farm income. The average net worth in Saskatchewan is $1.4 million, compared to $1.6 million in Manitoba and $2.1 million in Alberta and B.C. This would seem to indicate that Saskatchewan farmland is still relatively inexpensive compared to other regions. Kevin Hursh is an agricultural journalist, consultant and farmer.

Farmers need to speak with unified voice EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

JOANNE PAULSON, EDITOR

t can be painful to say that a politician is right, especially an American politician. However, I have to say that U.S. agriculture secretary Tom Vilsack made some powerful points at the recent Commodity Classic in Florida when he said the once-mighty U.S. farm lobby has lost influence in Washington. “Unfortunately, what’s happened in Washington is nobody is listening to all of you,” Vilsack told 6,000 farmers. The problem is that funds for agriculture are below 2009 levels, while the U.S. Department of Agriculture is picking up more than its share of budget cuts. He told farmers to get on the phone and give their members of Congress pieces of their minds. Huge applause followed. How any potential improvements in U.S. farm funding will affect Canada is not the point. The point is that Vilsack is encouraging farmers to get out there and yell with one voice on matters that are important to them all. It’s hard to be heard when farmers make up less than one percent of the population, as farms get bigger and fewer people populate them. (Sound familiar?) That’s because federal support is not about the incredible proportion of gross domestic product generated by agriculture, and it’s not about the importance of growing food for a big and growing population. It’s about votes. And in that, Vilsack is right. (Ouch.) The Canadian rural landscape is facing exactly the same issues, yet the farm voice is as fractured as it has ever been. Where are we going with that? Enter Danny Penner, a southern Manitoba farmer who has served on associations and is a former Outstanding Young Farmer. Penner recently emailed as many producer organizations as he could think of, saying he is trying to create a “new producer-driven national farm organization that would work to solidify marketing systems for grains, oilseeds, pulses and special crops.” He gives several examples of issues that “highlight the need today for a broad and cohesive farmer voice in industry discussions.” You bet. Particularly in addressing farm policy, a cohesive message backed by a large number of farmers is crucial. Whether Penner’s model works or another concept emerges, it is time to get together and fight the important battles. Demographics are against you. The political system is against you. But it’s time. If you don’t believe me, ask Tom Vilsack.

I’m writing you in regards to a story written by Dan Yates published in the Feb. 14 issue, Starving deer invade farms, cities ; coyotes follow — scrounging for food. Saskatchewan wildlife officials are concerned that a larger than normal winterkill is likely, says Mike Gollop, a fur and problem wildlife specialist with the Saskatchewan environment ministry. Darrell Crabbe of the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation agreed. Gollop said, “You could kill all the animals but short of that you’re not

likely to get them to leave because they’ve got nothing to go to.” People want solutions to those problems and I don’t blame them. One suggestion is that with a portion of the funds collected from hunting licences and wildlife certificates, which according to the government of Saskatchewan’s environmental website is over $2 million, that funds be allocated to the game wardens to pay farmers for a round bale of hay and that bale of hay be strategically placed every 10 miles or so apart where needed. Personal experience has seen good results, with the bales preventing deer from destroying trees and shrubs and not having them venture

through towns. A bale of hay placed a mile or so from the yard keeps the deer out of the yards and away from the feed stacks. Emile Frerotte, Assiniboia, Sask.

OFFLOADING PASTURES To the Editor: What a great opportunity the province of Saskatchewan has been given, to be given control over acres of land that is as close to its natural state as possible for the times: lush

green grass, clean clear water, fresh clean air, wildlife roaming freely, wildflowers blooming, species at risk protected. Here is one of the last opportunities to witness nature at its best, a way of life that would be the dream and envy of many people: the cowboy and his/her horse, land that is at the present protected from the plow and draining. And how do we support and pay for this opportunity? We allow cows, the closest species to nature since the buffalo roamed these same lands, to graze these lands. With proper management, cows would help pay day to day expenses. It would also provide employment, but most of all, it would keep a large parcel of land closest to its natural state for all of society to enjoy into the future. We ask the Saskatchewan government to take this opportunity to maintain complete hold of these lands and manage them like they do with their own community pastures, for they are the stewards of the land. I, being in my twilight years, can look back and say that I have been given good health, the desire to better my life, the ability to contribute to society in a positive way. This has all been made possible because I had the opportunity to be a farmer. Dan Thorsteinson, Foam Lake, Sask.

REAL FOOD To the Editor: The idea that we need genetically modified organisms to feed the world, I believe, is very untrue. The real reason is power to control the food supplies; with that, you control the people. If the European Union doesn’t want GMOs and hormones in their food, perhaps we should change and produce what they want, not what big agricultural and chemical companies try to force on them. You can be well assured that the people in control don’t touch soy, canola, vegetable oil, sugar or the majority of the food in North American grocery stores as they know the health hazards. Some of us know what real food is and the people of Europe sure do. Lawrence Hollings, Donalda, Alta.

To the Editor: Re: Canadian Pork Council pulls out of CFA (Feb. 22/13). I am writing as a farmer who raises turkeys and hogs in Manitoba, and previously grew crops. I am disappointed by the decision of the Canadian Pork Council to withdraw from the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, although I am pleased that discussions between the two organizations are ongoing to mend the relationship. As a hog farmer, it is clear to me that CFA is about more than trade.

OPINION It is also clear to me that CFA has supported grassroots hog farmers for many years on many issues including, among other things, early farm income support programs through to the current safety net programs, all to our benefit. I believe CFA supports the opening of trade, contrary to what the (Barry) Wilson article reports. Trade is not something you can simply be for or against; it is the terms of trade that matter and I am not sure why people don’t understand that. CFA has supported all of my farm enterprises through thoughtful trade analyses and a broad swath of other matters important to the farm community. My hope is that the CPC leadership will rethink their decision and renew its position in the CFA to the betterment of both organizations, as well as for the betterment of Cana-

dian farmers, regardless of their farms’ production. Wayne Kroeker, Landmark, Man.

POLLINATORS CRUCIAL To the Editor: What’s killing rural pollinators? Susan Chan suggests that allowing plants to bloom along road allowances would provide food for pollinators (WP Feb 14). The County of Wetaskiwin sprays the roadside ditches for weeds. Controlling weeds has intimation that it is a beneficial thing to do. The list of weeds that the county controls is long. This fall is the first time that I have seen wild oats growing in a ditch. I

have been looking. They’re close to the edge of the pavement where nothing else was growing. What grows in ditches? Perennials grow in ditches, not annuals. On cropland, with a few exceptions, annuals grow. In the County of Wetaskiwin, the major exceptions include thistles, toad flax and quackgrass. Other than these weeds, the spraying is a total waste of money. I have yet to see a patch of goldenrod in my fields. Many years ago there was a half mile of wild roses — the provincial flower — in one of my ditches. The county killed them all. Across the road from this ditch has been a field of forages for 25 years. There were no wild roses in this field. Canola needs pollinators. I wonder if the death of pollinators was considered when the roadside spraying

policy was developed. It was probably dismissed. Governments can do that — let someone else worry about it. Clark Lysne, Wetaskiwin, Alta.

WHEAT CLARIFICATION To the Editor: Re: New solid stemmed wheat shows promise for growers by Brian Cross, Jan. 24. I would like to clarify some information that was provided in error to The Western Producer and to others attending this year’s annual meeting of the Saskatchewan Seed Growers Association. The incorrect information was part of a presentation made by

Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada at the annual meeting and reported i n t h e W P a r t i c l e, “ Ne w s o l i d stemmed wheat shows promise for growers,” published on Jan. 24, 2013. This is to clarify the stem status of the variety known as AAC Bailey, a new red spring wheat developed by AAFC and distributed through a licence. The variety was registered as hollow stemmed and does not resist sawfly damage as it was expected to do early in the breeding process. It is not being marketed as a solidstemmed wheat. We regret any confusion this mistake may have caused and we are taking steps to clarify where needed. Bruce McArthur, acting research and development director, Agriculture Canada

DEATH | FAITH

A time for celebration SPIRITUAL VIGNETTES

JOYCE SASSE

story is told from past games of nine runners who were lined up to compete in their first Olympics. Imagine the excitement. When the starter’s pistol sounded, eight of the runners made a clear dash toward the finish line, but the ninth runner tripped and fell. Hear in your mind the groan of the crowd. Visualize the dashed hopes of the would-be Olympian. But this race was different. This was the Special Olympics. When the others saw their colleague fall, they stopped and ran back to help him. Eventually, together, nine runners made their way to the finish line. Together, nine runners stood on the podium to receive their medals, and the world understood. This was a new day. It was a time when the traditional values of a more competitive Olympics were turned upside down. When I try to understand the deeper meaning for the Good FridayEaster story, the memory of the nine runners comes to mind. I think of the pain experienced in both stories: by the person at the centre of the story, and by family and friends. I am thrilled when I see how the traditional values of the world have been turned upside down. It’s not about winners and losers. It’s not about proving who comes out best. Where love prevails, peace and justice follow. Where love prevails, joy follows. God reached down through the suffering to transform the situation, to slowly lift the clouds of darkness and fear and despair until we could see a new world, where love showed how death was not to be feared. For all who witness this wonderful story, for all who stand with the women beside the empty tomb, we hear how this gift of life and love is given to each of us.

LIVESTOCK | GROWING FORWARD 2

Cattle producers impatient with farm policy Price insurance scheme still missing | CCA president says producers have been abandoned in the new five-year framework BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

The cattle industry has been largely abandoned in the country’s new fiveyear agriculture policy, says the president of the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association. Martin Unrau told the CCA annual general meeting in Ottawa March 7 that his 1,000 acres of grain and oilseeds have basic protection through crop insurance, despite declines in program coverage under Growing Forward 2, which starts April 1.

However, livestock price insurance remains only a promise, despite years of government commitments. His 550 head cattle operation in southern Manitoba has no insurance protection. “We (in the cattle sector) are getting the crap beat out of us,” he told Lloyd Rosser, Agriculture Canada’s business risk management (BRM) director general. “I wrestle with equity between sectors.” Rosser was at the CCA meeting to describe changes to BRM funding, including a drop in AgriStability triggers to a 30 percent income reduc-

tion from the existing 15 percent reduction trigger. He said the new rules will improve coverage for negative margins at the bottom of the income cycle. Government contributions to the AgriInvest program will also fall, reducing the subsidy benefit for farmers but allowing them to invest more of their own money. Federal and provincial governments could save several billion in farm support payments over the next five years if farm incomes decrease from current record highs, according

to government estimates. Agriculture Canada’s spending estimates for the fiscal year beginning April 1 project a reduction of at least $230 million, mainly in the BRM file. It is partly because of program coverage cuts and partly because of assumptions that higher commodity prices will produce a lower draw on support programs. However, Unrau said the new farm program system continues to discriminate against livestock producers faced with higher feed costs but without the support of an insurance

program if production is curtailed. “The grain side of my operation did very well with AgriStability,” he told Rosser. “The cattle side not so much.” In an interview, Unrau said the 70 to 85 percent income drop level under existing AgriStability rules was often the range that cattle producers could use. “That is now gone so then we need an insurance backup,” he said. Rosser said work continues on creating a livestock price insurance program as promised in the Growing Forward frameworks that ministers accepted in 2007 and 2012.

TRADE | TRIP TO JAPAN

Ritz reassures Japanese on CWB changes BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

With CWB president Ian White in tow, Canadian agriculture minister Gerry Ritz was in Japan last week to promote a trade agreement, including wheat now that Canada is operating without a CWB monopoly. He said last week that along with White and Canadian grain industry representatives, he met with Japanese millers to assure them that changes to the CWB and the Canadian Grain Commission will not affect the quality and reliability of Canadian shipments. “We took the opportunity with our grain industry to meet with Japanese millers to underline Canada’s continued commitment to world class grain quality,” said Ritz in a March 6 callback news conference from Tokyo. “The Japanese industry assured us that the Canadian system continues to serve them well under the new marketing freedom system.” Grain Growers of Canada executive director Richard Phillips was with Ritz on the trade mission and issued a statement arguing that domestic grain sector reforms instigated by the government and supported by CGG are not a problem in one of Canada’s largest markets. “The transition at the CWB has not caused issues for them and they have been pleased with the quality of both CWB and private sector wheat deliveries,” Phillips said in a statement from Tokyo. Ritz spent five days in Japan accompanied by representatives of cattle, hog, grain and oilseed sectors. Last year, Japan’s $4.2 billion in Canadian food imports made it one of Canada’s major export markets. It included close to $1.5 billion in canola imports, although higher tariffs mean it mainly is a market for unprocessed seed that is processed in Japanese plants. Japan also recently opened its market for Canadian beef from animals under 30 months, expanding an earlier restriction to beef from cattle under 21 months.

Horse meat scandals slash prices

Public hearings end on rail service law

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

The price for slaughter horses in Alberta has been cut in half by recent discoveries in Europe that beef has been mixed with horse meat in some European plants and products. Bruce Flewelling, an auctioneer who buys and sells horses for slaughter, said prices are now at 25 to 30 cents per pound, down from 40 to 45 cents before the European food scandal began about three weeks ago. The two Alberta plants that handle horses have reduced the number of animals processed in recent weeks

because of re duced European demand, he added. Flewelling said the Lacombe plant stopped processing horses for about three weeks, while the Fort Macleod plant began slaughtering more bison and cattle after export demand for horse meat dropped. Recovery to former processing levels may take time. “I think it will take awhile because I think people are kind of hanging on, waiting for the price to go back up and there will be kind of a backlog. It’s just supply and demand.” Bill desBarres, chair of the Horse Welfare Alliance of Canada, said the reduction in exports was disappointing but short-lived.

“Shortly after the problem was revealed, then of course shipments were shut down. But that was for a short period of time until they determined where the source of the problem was.” The situation arose when horse meat was detected in beef products in Ireland. It later widened to other countries when horse meat was found in various processed meat products labeled as beef. Canadian horse meat has not been connected with the European situation. The horse meat industry in Canada generates an estimated $70 million per year to the national economy.

It would give shippers the right to appeal to the Canadian Transportation Agency for an arbitrated levelof-service agreement with a rail carrier if negotiations do not produce an agreement. Railways would face penalties for breaches of their service obligations. After a session with transport minister Denis Lebel, who said it puts shippers in “the driver’s seat,” two hours with shippers who support the bill but want it strengthened, two hours with railways that want it scrapped or at least weakened and two hours with port authorities somewhere in the middle, the committee has decided it has enough public input. They will hear from Transport Canada officials one more time March 21 and then start clause-by-clause consideration aiming to get the bill back to the Commons for final debate and quick passage to the Senate. Opposition MPs plan to propose some of the shipper amendments including the right of an arbitrator to award damages to a shipper for breach of service and not just a fine that goes to government coffers. However, the Conservative majority does not have a track record of accepting opposition amendments in this Parliament and Conservative MP comments during the hearings suggested they believe the bill is a balance between shipper and carrier interests with the power leaning to shippers. Acceptance of amendments is unlikely. Meanwhile, Canada’s two national railways, supported by a representative of some short-line railways, last week used their two hours at committee to condemn the legislation as unnecessary and intrusive. They called for Bill C-52 approved in principle by the House of Commons to be shelved or at least amended to reduce some of the shipper powers proposed. In a presentation to the Commons transport committee March 5, representatives of Canadian National Railway, Canadian Pacific Railway and the short-line operator Cando Contracting Ltd. said the legislation is unnecessary. “Our advice to this committee (is) that you recommend to the House of Commons that the bill not proceed,” Railway Association of Canada president Michael Bourque told MPs. But if the legislation does move forward, he said the rail industry wants amendments that would reduce proposed shipper powers, including a proposal that an arbitrator have the right to assess payment to shippers for failure to meet levelof-service contract obligations. Bourque said the railways have improved service and a legislative hammer is not needed.

BEES | SEED TREATMENT STUDY

Bee community buzzes about unpublished study Seed treatment | Field trials appear to conclude that clothianidin doesn’t affect honey production and bee mortality BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

It hasn’t been published, but entomologists in North America and Europe are already debating a Canadian field study on honeybees. L a s t s u m m e r Cy n t h i a S c o t tDupree, a University of Guelph professor of environmental biology, conducted a $950,000 field scale trial to investigate the relationship between insecticidal seed treatments and bee colony health. Scott-Dupree, her co-investigator Chris Cutler of Dalhousie University and other scientists are still reviewing the data, but initial results suggest that coating seeds with clothianidin, a Bayer insecticide, doesn’t affect honey production, bee mortality rates or colony weight gain. The study, funded by Bayer, won’t be published until later this year or possibly 2014. Yet, entomologists in the U.S., Canada and Europe are paying attention. “It’s really hard to talk about something that’s not published, so I’m surprised it’s generating as much buzz, for lack of a better word,” said Dennis vanEngelsdorp, a research scientist and bee expert at the University of Maryland. In 2012, Scott-Dupree and her collaborators placed 40 bee colonies in 10 canola fields around Guelph. Five canola fields had seed treated with clothianidin and five fields did not. U.S. Department of Agriculture personnel are analyzing the pesticide residues from the bees, pollen, nectar, beeswax and honey from the experiment, which was Bayer’s largest bee study in the world last year. The study is divisive because Europ e a n c o u nt r i e s may s o o n b a n clothianidin, thiamethoxam and imidacloprid, three insecticides known as neonicotinoids. The prod-

The Canadian study is divisive because European studies have found a link between the seed treatments and bee mortality and may prompt European governments to ban the products. | FILE PHOTO ucts are applied as a seed treatment to corn, soybeans, canola and sunflowers on millions of acres globally. Last year a French study indicated that bees exposed to thiamethoxam, a Syngenta product sold as Cruiser, are more likely to die while foraging because the bees can’t find their way back to the hives. In addition, a Scottish study demonstrated that colonies exposed to imidacloprid, a Bayer insecticide, produced 85 percent fewer queens than a control group. In response to those papers and a European Food Safety Authority report on neonicotinoids, the EU Commission recommended that member states prohibit the use of the three insecticides for seed treatments and crop application for two years beginning this spring. The proposed ban is controversial

because many experts say it’s based on laboratory scale studies that aren’t transferable to real world conditions. “What makes bees so problematic, is that they are social insects. That means that these small, laboratory experiments can show effects on individual bees or small groups of bees,” vanEngelsdorp said. “(But) a bee colony has a lot of redundancy…. You can kill a lot of bees in that colony and that colony still survives…. That’s why it’s so hard to get rid of termites and ants, because (the group) is so resilient…. So, I think you can document effects on honeybees in the lab that don’t translate into the field.” Scott-Dupree said one of the primary weaknesses of lab studies is dosage. Before imposing a ban, European scientists should follow up their lab

studies with field research because field level exposure to insecticides is significantly less than lab dosage. Other scientists, including James Frazier, a Penn State professor of entomology, say field scale studies on bees are unreliable. “One of the major problems with field studies, and it certainly is a major problem with the field studies that Cynthia has done, is they set up a five acre plot of treated plants … when the honeybee colony is foraging over 14,000 acres,” he said. “Under field conditions you have limited control over external variables. So there’s always a huge question about whether the impact you measured is due to the chemical itself or some other variable…. So, saying they’ve not seen an impact due to (the neonicotinoids) is highly questionable, if not totally irrele-

vant.” In most field studies the dose isn’t known, Frazier added. Therefore, it’s difficult to assess the impact of an insecticide if you don’t understand dosage. “You don’t have one controlled dose that the colonies have been exposed to. So you don’t have a study.” According to vanEngelsdorp, lab and field studies on bees are both useful. Lab research can identify and help scientists understand individual factors that affect bee health. Testing that factor out in the field is complex, which means field data isn’t perfect. “Yes, that means the data is dirty and that means you have to have a lot of replicates and it means there is some real challenges to these (field) studies…. but there is a growing ability to do that.” Frazier and vanEngelsdorp both said it’s unlikely the U.S. or Canada would ban neonics because environmental policies in North America are based on proof of harm. Europeans, in contrast, rely on the precautionary principle. Ma r i o n E l l i s, a U n i v e r s i t y o f Nebraska entomology professor, said it might be prudent to ban neonicotinoid treated seed on crops that are highly attractive to bees, such as canola and sunflowers, because of the high risk of exposure. If neonics were banned, though, growers would likely spray their crops with older, more toxic insecticides, he noted. “The results of a ban would be to revert to previously used strategies that are clearly injurious to bees. Clearly, it is not a simple problem with a simple solution.” EU member states are scheduled to vote on the proposed ban March 14.

PRECISION AGRICULTURE | STORAGE

Are high-tech farmers giving away too much information? Data storage | Producers told to study agreements when storing precision agriculture data online STORIES BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

CALGARY — Precision agriculture produces a vast array of data in the form of precise location, field maps, yield figures, soil type and contour, electrical conductivity and irrigation. In theory, at least, the data belongs to the farmers who paid for the technology to collect and calculate it. But is that data protected and do farmers know what use might be made of their information by the companies who store it? Karon Cowan, owner of Ontario-

based AgTech GIS, told the Precision Ag Update Feb. 27 that they should think about data protection and use. “I think we’ve got some big data hunters, and I think they are offering trinkets and beads in exchange,” said Cowan. Sharing precision agriculture data is not necessarily a bad thing, said the expert on ag specific data collection, but farmers should know what’s contained in the agreements they sign with data storage companies. “Data is now seen as an asset, with value and a source of revenue for the data owner,” he said. “So whose data is it anyway? If

you’re going to share your data, what’s it worth to the people you’re sharing it with?” Cowan outlined the three basic ways farm data collected by various internet connections is stored: • Private data: Customers access their own information through a company server in a closed system. • Closed cloud services: Customers buy their own database silo in a “cloud,” which is a large and secure data storage area. Most commonly, a company such as Cowan’s buys a portion of cloud storage and manages data stored there on behalf of a client. No one else has access to it.

• Owned big data: Customers use a web portal connected via the internet to another company’s large database. Access and alternative use of a customer’s data is often part of the contract agreement. This might involve aggregating multiple customers’ data to do large-scale analytics, collect market intelligence and improve products that the company can then offer back to customers. As well, it might allow a company to sell customers’ data to others. Cowan said farmers need to understand user agreements so that they are comfortable with the level of data

sharing that might occur. However, as anyone who has downloaded a smart phone app will know, these agreements are often lengthy and confusing. “I’m afraid that we’re abdicating ownership of data,” said Cowan. “Big data analysis is likely to benefit agriculture by answering some of the big production questions, but the ultimate decision-maker needs to be a player and not a spectator.” Cowan doesn’t see data sharing as necessarily dangerous but rather a factor that farmers should examine with full knowledge of where their information may go.

CALGARY — It’s fine to hire professionals to figure out precision agriculture information and devise prescriptions but farmers should also get their hands dirty by digging into data. Karon Cowan operates AgTech GIS, an Ontario-based company specializing in precision agriculture data analysis and assistance. A 20-year veteran of agricultural data management, Cowan said farmers are the most important element in the stream of information running from field to internet, computer, tablet and smartphone. “I do not think we are at a place where a formula or algorithm or system can replace the decision-maker at the centre of the cycle,” Cowan told those at the Feb. 27-28 Precision Ag Update. “I want them to be able to transform what I do into a decision of some kind.” Some farmers are reluctant to delve deeply into the software that allows them to analyze results from their precision farming investments, said Cowan. She suggested those who sell the software and equipment should be willing to provide training and if they’re not, farmers should buy from a company that will. If that fails, there’s always YouTube, which has a large array of how-to material on line. “Not every dealership has a full bench” when it comes to providing training, she said. “It is a problem across the industry. But precision ag is about the agronomy and everything else is just the tools.” Software does the heavy lifting in data collection and analysis. Cowan was unwilling to recommend particular brands, noting wide variation in farmer needs and proficiency. She uses nine different brands of GIS software in her office, each with its own attributes. Cowan also warned users that free software often comes in trade for data so farmers should be aware of what access they are granting in exchange. “I think we have to recognize that the data is being sought and we should be engaged and have our heads up.”

ALBERTA FARM FRESH SCHOOL | GREENHOUSES

Extend growing season with hoop tunnels Market gardens | Growers told to experiment with makeshift greenhouses before making big purchases BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

EDMONTON — Growing fruit and vegetables in large plastic covered tunnels extends the growing season by 40 days, says a U.S. fruit and vegetable grower. Harry Edwards estimates installing the large hoop tunnels over vegetables has allowed him to get his vegetables to market earlier and in better shape than vegetables grown without the plastic shelter. “It’s a powerful tool,” Edwards told producers at the Alberta Farm Fresh School. “In order for me to be in any market, I have to show up three weeks before anyone else and everything has to be perfect.” The inexpensive, low-tech greenhouses, also known as high tunnels, are made from metal frames with replaceable plastic covers. “Everything you put a hoop over will give you a season extension,” said Edwards, who runs a greenhouse in Pennsylvania and supplies Haygrove Tunnels. Edwards said farmers who are considering buying a commercial high tunnel should first build their own low-cost tunnels out of wood or leftover pipe and a bit of plastic. They should also experiment with different locations and ground fastening systems because wind and early snow can cause havoc with the structures. “You want to look at your crop and think about how much am I going to babysit this structure.” Edwards said he and a helper spent seven hours during an early snowfall slowly banging the snow off the structure to prevent it from collapsing. “Don’t make a big capital investment without testing the water. If your crop is not worth a lot, don’t spend a lot on it.” University of Saskatchewan vegetable crop specialist Doug Waterer knows something about snow and wind. It took a lot of early mornings to pull the plastic over the high hoops without it being carried away by prairie winds. Several of the high tunnels did collapse in a nasty storm. His plots at the university campus have no protection from trees, and Waterer doesn’t know the best way to situate the high tunnels to protect

How e v e r, h e sai d 1 5 y e a r s o f research with low plastic hoops and different versions of high tunnels have taught him that there are clear benefits to using the high tunnels. “I have found very consistently over and over again earlier yields and vastly superior yields. They have early yields, better quality and more consistent quality,” he told the group. Waterer said he has discovered that watermelons in particular thrive under the high tunnels. They were ready for picking by the beginning of August. Muskmelons had no cracking and tomatoes had superior yield and fewer grade problems. He was able to grow five crops of lettuce in one season, but while the first crop of spinach was excellent, subsequent crops struggled. Cabbage was ready to harvest by July 5 and raspberries also appeared to love life under the high tunnels.

Corn wasn’t a success and he has continually struggled to establish strawberries. Edwards said his half acre of crops under high tunnels paid off his $21,000 investment in the first year by allowing him to grow one to three crops in the growing season. His snow peas, tomatoes and peppers were a big success because he was able to get the crops to market early. He warned the group about excess fertilizer. The combination of ideal growing conditions, fertilizer and enthusiasm means the plants have vigorous growth. “Most everybody thinks in the first year the more plants the better. You will have vigorous growth,” said Edwards. The plastic creates a greenhouse effect, but the plants need more protection from frost than the thin layer of plastic. Edwards often pulls a felt cover over his plants at night or if he is expecting

a frost. He also makes sure the doors at either end are securely closed. Waterer believes there are plenty of benefits to the high tunnels, but he doesn’t think they offer any frost protection. In fact, he said they may make things worse by encouraging vigorous growth with little plant hardening. “When frost comes they take a pounding,” he said. “It’s tempting to plant things out there too early. They make better use of available growing season, but don’t count on extending the growing season.” Despite the potential problems, Calgary grower Dick Pearson said he and his wife are looking closely at the benefits of high tunnels in their community shared agriculture program. “I think they have a lot of potential.” Greg Moline of Brix ’n’ Berries of Leduc, Alta., is also considering a high tunnel as a way to increase vegetable production and catch early

FARM POLICY | RICH INSURANCE PROGRAM

U.S. farmers ready to fight for crop insurance U.S. farm bill | Proposed legislation would slash crop insurance spending and save American taxpayers billions BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

KISSIMMEE, Fla. — U.S. farm groups are determined to fend off attacks on the federal crop insurance program. “It really is the cornerstone of the farm bill and risk management for growers,” said Pam Johnson, president of the National Corn Growers Association. She shared a personal anecdote to illustrate why U.S. growers are drawing a line in the sand with Washington when it comes to defending crop insurance. Johnson’s farm in Floyd, Iowa, was hit hard by the 2012 drought. She watched her crops wither in the field with the passing of each bone-dry week. The family prayed for rain until they realized it was too late. When all hope had evaporated, Johnson’s 82-year-old father gave her and her brothers a pep talk. He reminded them that the family had endured tough times in the past and had the grit to persevere. “My son said to me, ‘Mom, I have a lot more than grit. Thank God I have crop insurance, ’” she said. “That’s how important it is.” U.S. farmers have received a record $14.7 billion in indemnity payments for the 2012-13 crop year, and another $1 to $2 billion is likely on the way. Two-thirds of that money has gone to the nation’s corn growers, who were most affected by last year’s drought. The record payments are a big reason why growers posted near record farm income in 2012, despite suffering through what the U.S. Department of Agriculture calls the “most severe and extensive drought in at least 25 years.” Growers insured 86 percent of planted farmland in 2012, demonstrating the popularity of a program that has recently become a target of deficitcutting politicians in Washington. Republican House of Representatives member John Duncan and Republican senator Jeff Flake have tabled a bill that would reduce the government’s share of the federal crop insurance program to 37 percent from 62 percent. “The crop insurance program has turned into a huge taxpayer-funded boon for some of the biggest multinational insurance companies and multimillionaire corporate farmers,” Duncan said in a news release. “In a time of record deficits and an incomprehensible $16.5 trillion in debt, this program can no longer be justified in its current form.” The Congressional Budget Office estimates the Crop Insurance Subsidy Reduction Act will save U.S. taxpayers $40.1 billion over 10 years. The proposed legislation has the support of the Environmental Working Group, which says crop insurance is costing U.S. taxpayers far more than traditional ad hoc disaster relief programs at a time when the farm economy is thriving. Farm groups are in no mood for cuts to crop insurance, and neither is the U.S. Department of Agriculture. U.S. agriculture secretary Tom Vilsack told reporters at the 2013 Commodity Classic that crop insurance

must remain intact in the next farm bill, particularly if, as expected, direct payments are removed from the subsidy package. “I’d be a little reluctant to say that it’s too good a deal and I would be very reluctant to say that in the context of what I think is likely to happen, which is that direct payments are likely to be changed dramatically,” he said. “It’s expensive. It’s really expensive to put a crop in the ground. And one or two bad years can take a mature operation under and it can clearly

take a beginning operation under.” Vilsack said crop insurance can be tweaked, but he is not in favour of wholesale changes to the program. Johnson acknowledged that it may be tough to convince taxpayers to continue funding the program at a level that provides near record income during a once in 50-year drought. She has lived through a lot of subsidy programs and none compare to the risk management system in place today. “Farmers are in the best economic shape they’ve been in for a long time,

even though they came through the drought,” she said. Danny Murphy, president of the American Soybean Association, said Washington no longer has the wherewithal to fund ad hoc disaster programs. “It’s really important that each grower takes it upon himself to make sure that he has the insurance coverage to protect himself,” he said in an interview at Commodity Classic. Murphy said with historic high prices come historic high production costs. He shudders to think what

would have become of growers last year if they didn’t have crop insurance to protect themselves from drought. “Without that, I think you’d have seen widespread farm failures across the Midwest,” he said. “It gives you the option to make sure that one bad crop doesn’t really put you out of business.” FOR MORE ON THE U.S. CROP INSURANCE PLAN, SEE PAGE 44.

BUDGET | AGRICULTURE CUTS

Fuel program takes hit in Alta. austerity budget Road, bridge grants also cut | Provincial budget slashes spending but still amasses $1.97 billion deficit BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

EDMONTON — Agriculture took its share of lumps in Alberta’s March 7 budget. The agriculture budget is estimated to decrease $44.6 million to $583 million from $628 million. Most of the cuts — $32.5 million — will come from eliminating the six cent per litre Farm Fuel Distribution Allowance. The nine cent per litre Farm Fuel Benefit Program, valued at $70 mil-

lion, will stay. “I want to stress, even after the change we have the best regime in the country in fuel support,” said Alberta agriculture minister Verlyn Olson. As well, 30 full-time equivalent positions will be eliminated in agriculture between the department, AFSC and the Alberta Livestock and Meat Agency. Ten of the positions are vacant, while 17 employees from the department and three from AFSC received letters on budget day telling them their positions have been eliminated.

Olson said agriculture fared as well as other departments in the tough budget, which saw the province running a $1.97 billion deficit and borrowing another $4.3 billion for infrastructure projects. “We were all challenged to see where we could find some savings that could help us contribute to the cause,” said Olson. “I think we’ve done a good job of that. It’s never easy. When you make changes, someone will be affected. I think the changes we made are very consistent with our overall direction

as a government.” The government anticipates $38.6 billion in revenue, of which about $7.3 billion comes from resource revenue, and plans to spend $40. 5 billion. “Budget 2013 is changing the way we invest in agriculture,” finance minister Doug Horner said in introducing the budget in the legislature. “We are focusing dollars on programs and initiatives that will grow our industry, and ensure it’s sustainable and internationally competitive.” No specific programs were announced promoting food safety,

innovation and markets, but the budget emphasized existing programs. “The ability to do more with less is essential,” said Horner. Olson said money allocated for research and innovation will help agriculture contribute to Alberta’s diversification away from oil and gas. “This is not the kind of thing that you snap your fingers and create a diverse economy,” Olson said. “It’s always a work in progress. The kinds of things we have to support are innovation and research and development because that allows us to develop new products, improve the products we already have.” Greg Bowie with Alberta Beef Producers said cuts to the agriculture budget will hurt. “The fact it is down overall is disappointing,” he said. The association also opposed eliminating the Farm Fuel Distribution Allowance. Humphrey Banack with Wild Rose Agricultural Producers said eliminating the farm fuel allowance will hit farmers hard, especially grain farmers whose big equipment can easily use 500 litres of fuel a day. Banack estimates the cuts will cost $30 a day for each piece of equipment. He said WRAP has made suggestions over the years on how government could fine tune the fuel distribution allowance, but was ignored. Instead, the program was ended without consultation. Bob Barss, president of the Alberta Association of Municipal Districts and Counties, said the budget hit rural municipalities hard, including the elimination of several transportation grants : $26 million local municipal initiative grant, $31 million resource road grant, $2 million community airport grant and $26 million local bridge grant. The Water for Life program, which funded regional water lines, has dropped to $74 million from $145 million, and the municipal water and waste water grant was cut in half to $25 million. “It’s a huge hit on municipalities across the province,” Barss said. “The rural areas took the lion share of that hit. How do you keep bridges and roads in shape with zero funding?” He said the combination of eliminating the fuel allowance and ending infrastructure grants to municipalities will be a big blow to rural Albertans. While all departments took substantial cuts, Barss said he believes rural municipalities were hit particularly hard with the elimination of important funding. The only positive sign for Barss was that the government didn’t eliminate the grants from the budget, just the funding, which he hopes will make it easier for the province to reinstate later.

PULSES | LARGE-SCALE MENUS

WORKING | EDUCATION

Prepping on a grand scale Pulse recipes upsized | Nutritionists prepare pulse recipes for use in cafeterias, health care BY MARY MACARTHUR

Off-farm experiences important for young farmers

CAMROSE BUREAU

BY BARRY WILSON

Need a chili recipe for 500 people, a Greek pulse and pasta salad for 250 or enough black bean brownies for 100? The Saskatoon health region and Pulse Canada hope their new large scale pulse recipes will put more pulses in long-term care facilities and cafeterias and on wedding banquet menus. Charlotte Pilat Burns of the Saskatoon Health Region’s food and nutrition services department said the region has wanted to add more nutritionally dense pulses to its food menus but needed a push to develop the recipes. The project was initiated after Saskatchewan pulse grower and former Pulse Canada board member Vicki Dutton visited her sister in an Alberta long-term care facility. Like many residents of these types of facilities, the combination of food, medication and lack of exercise had forced her to take even more medication to help lower blood pressure and relieve constipation. “She was an extremely health conscious person. She was the leader in our family on diet and nutrition,” Dutton said about her sister, who was in the long-term care facility because of a stroke. Instead of medication, Dutton asked officials at the centre if they could add more pulses to the menu. Pulses are natural laxatives and overall healthy foods. However, Dutton discovered that making changes to the menu of a long-term care facility is not a simple process. After returning to Saskatchewan, she met with Saskatoon Health Region officials who were keen to add pulses to their facilities’ menu, partly because the province is the number one producer of pulse crops. “I do think it’s undervalued and there is a lack of knowledge on how to use pulses,” said Dutton. With the help of Pulse Canada, the Saskatoon Health Region developed 14 large-scale recipes ideal for institutional facilities. The recipes include beet and

All 14 recipes can be prepared for 50, 100, 250 and 500 batch sizes. The lentil soup recipe was based on one of Dutton’s own soup recipes. Pilat Burns said dietitians were surveyed about what kind of recipes they believed would be suitable for institution and cafeteria menus, and the recipes were then upscaled. Putting more pulses on the menu and getting residents to eat more pulses are not the same. The most common comment was “it’s differ-

ent,” said Pilat Burns. Just like cooking with their own families, the dietitians had the best luck when they hid the pulses in food. Adding pureed beans to brownies or pureed white beans to mashed potatoes was the most successful strategy. Dutton believes most facilities will likely start adding pulses slowly by putting pulse flour in cookies or muffins and lentils in meat. Canadians often link pulses to East Indian dishes, but the recipes developed by Pulse Canada and the Saskatoon Health Region are designed for the domestic palate.

Dutton believes more education and awareness are needed to increase pulses in Canadian diets. “It’s a conversation, one person at a time,” she said. Pilat Burns said one of the biggest problems was finding pulses in different forms. They could find some of the pulses dried, others canned and others in flour but not in all three forms. She believes it will only be a matter of time before suppliers make all pulses available in all forms for the food service industry. Pulse Canada will help promote the large-scale recipes to cafeterias and institutions.

As Manitoba farmer Rob Brunel sees it, getting into the agricultural industry these days requires more business savvy and smarts than ever. At 37 and with 15 years in the business, the Ste. Rose du Lac producer is still considered a “young” farmer. He grows grain and oilseeds on 5,000 acres in partnership with father Paul on an incorporated family farm in northern Manitoba. “These days with tight margins, technology, human resource issues and marketing, just wanting to farm isn’t enough,” he said in an interview during a Canadian Young Farmers’ Forum convention in Ottawa March 5. “And the smart ones that are coming back are educated, creative and are creating some amazing opportunities in the industry.” Brunel’s own journey back to the farm took him through the University of Manitoba, several years of working in agriculture-related jobs off the farm and then finally working to acquire an equity position in the family farm business. Tom Button, editor of the Winnipeg-based Country Guide, told the conference that young people’s paths back to the farm are varied, but often include getting a grounding in business education or getting work experience in other businesses first. He said succession is now a top-ofmind issue for many older farmers. A decade ago, what kept farmers awake at night was worrying about weather, whether the inputs would work and how the harvest would go. Now, what keeps them awake is wondering if their kids are up to running the farm, said Button. During his presentation, he offered examples of different journeys into the business, often through education and experience off the farm before returning. In a Farm Credit Canada video shown at the conference, a young farmer says: “You need more than your father’s knowledge, you need an education.”

CAREERS | COLD, COLD, COLD

From the Prairies to the South Pole An Antarctic journey | Saskatchewan rancher recounts job at the world’s coldest, remotest spot BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Ray Glasrud has enjoyed an inoperable condition all his life. “I kind of always like to see what’s over the next hill. It’s a bit of a disease that never goes away,” says the adventure-seeking rancher. Glasrud, who has spent time on all seven continents, recently returned from Antarctica. It was his third year employed as a heavy equipment operator for Lockheed Martin in the U.S. Antarctic Program. Raised on a ranch near Mazenod, Sask., Glasrud graduated from the University of Montana in 1968 with a science degree in wildlife biology. His past work, much of it with the oil industry, has taken him to remote and cold places around the world. “The long and short of it was I’d gotten close to the North Pole but I’d never gotten close to the South Pole, but I’d always been fascinated by it,” he said. Glasrud’s father first ignited the spark for Earth’s most southern continent in the 1950s. He remembers as a boy listening in as his father, a ham radio operator, talked and passed messages to U.S. and New Zealand bases stationed there. “I remember sitting in the radio room and listening to these things and thinking, ‘wouldn’t it be nice to get there,’ ” he said. Although Canada doesn’t participate in the Antarctic program, he said he kept looking for opportunities to travel to the frozen continent. The U.S. Antarctic Program, which represents the United States in Antarctica, strives to encourage international co-operation, maintain an active and influential presence in the region and conduct high-quality science research. Glasrud, who recently turned 65, years, said the program doesn’t discriminate based on age. “I didn’t know if they’d take an old

guy, but I met certain qualifications and talked to them at length.” He said he has been operating heavy machinery most of his life as well as flying planes for 40 years, which also included building winter airstrips. It was the combination of his science background and operator skills on track machines in the cold that got him the job. “So I had experience in cold weather, I had experience in remote locations, I had experience with research. They wanted that because you have to associate with scientists,” he said. Glasrud’s job required working at the Byrd Surface Camp, which is a deep field program 1,200 kilometres from “town.” McMertal Station, the main U.S. base, is also 800 km from the South Pole. Glasrud’s primary duty was building and maintaining a 3,000 metre airstrip for the C100 Hercules airplanes that would land using skis. His main piece of equipment was a D4 Cat on tracks that runs on arctic jet fuel. “The key to working snow is to move fast so that you create friction,” he said. His other duties were varied when he wasn’t pushing snow. “When you sign on with that kind of a research program, you could end up helping scientists one day, which I’ve done, you could end up helping the cook washing dishes. The next day you could be cleaning latrines,” he said. Glasrud describes it as a place that fosters awe and respect. “It is one of the most exotic, unbelievable places on the planet that I’ve ever been, and I’ve covered a fair bit of the old globe,” he said. “It’s the windiest, the coldest, the most remote continent on the globe. It’s a harsh, dangerous environment in many respects. Even in the summer season, it’s 40 to 50 below zero with constant winds blowing.” CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

He said there are times when “your adrenalin gets pumping,” even with good planning, good logistics, lots of radio gear, satellite phones and survival gear. Taking the advice of early Canadian explorers such as Vilhjalmur Stefansson, Glasrud said he never had adventures because he tried to plan properly. “The weather can change dramatically in a heart beat. When you’re out there 1,000 miles from town, you want to keep your wits about you. We always had a medic with us but the chances of getting out of there if you had an emergency are pretty damn tight. We waited on this last occasion two weeks to get an airplane in. So if you’re sitting there with a broken leg, you’re going to sit there,” he said. “It can get tremendous whiteouts where you just don’t see anything. I was familiar with blizzards and whiteouts, but I never saw whiteouts as bad as there, where you take a step and you can’t see what you’re stepping into. It’s like being inside of a milk jug.… The winds can change quickly, in a matter of minutes. So if you’re out doing something, you need to know how you’re going to get back, in what sort of time frame. And if there’s any question, you don’t go.” Growing up on a ranch on the Prairies helps to an extent, he said. “I like to think as a pilot, as a rancher and somebody who watches weather and has watched weather for years that I can kind of read weather, at least to some extent. There I am getting to the point where I can kind of get a feel for what the weather might do when you see certain clouds, but it’s so different that I really never did interpret it properly.” One of the highlights for him came in November 2011 when he dug his way into explorer Robert Scott’s hut 100 years after Scott set out to discover

the South Pole on his Terra Nova expedition. On their return journey, Scott and his four comrades all died from a combination of exhaustion, starvation and extreme cold. “All of Scott’s stuff is still there. It’s amazing. When they found he had died, they just slammed the door and left. The food is still on the table,” he said. Glasrud is also reminded of history back home at his commercial cowcalf operation, called the Pole Trail Ranch Company, between Shaunavon, Sask., and East End, Sask. “When my grandfather homesteaded around Assiniboine, he followed the pole trail. The poles were from a telegraph line that had been set up to keep track of Sitting Bull when he was down at Wood Mountain. My grandfather came up from the States by railroad and followed that with a wagon along that telegraph pole line. They used to talk about it when I was a kid as the pole trail,” he said. With three winters under his belt in Antarctica, Glasrud is itching for more adventure. Other horizons beckon, but he can’t help feeling a longing for the pristine, cold-blooded continent. “There’s an old saying in the Antarctic. The first year you go for the money. The second year you like to go because you like the people and the third year you go because you don’t fit in anywhere else.”

EDUCATION | CHILDREN

Religion and philosophy are motivating factors

Parents tout benefits of home schooling

STORIES BY DIANE ROGERS FREELANCE WRITER

The face of home schooled children has changed since the days when parents chose the option due to isolated farms and distant schools. “Today, parents are choosing to educate their children at home primarily for religious or philosophical reasons,” according to a Saskatchewan Learning department document. “You’ve been home schooling your children since they were born,” Bryan Watson said at the Saskatchewan Home-Based Educators meeting in Saskatoon Feb. 22. “As parents, you have the best interest in your child,” said the SHBE board president. Another reason is that “my kids are each other’s best friends.”

Saskatchewan parents and home schoolers agreed. Jessica Benson said one teacher alone cannot cater to all the children’s personalities in a classroom. Her family likes the freedom to get away with her husband when he travels for work. She likes the flexibility to take her children on field trips and go outside when the weather is good. “I believe play is a child’s work, it’s creative,” she said. Benson recommended three books that helped her home school: So You’re Thinking About Home Schooling by Lisa Whelchel, 100 Top Picks by Cathy Duffy and Help for the Harried Home Schooler by Christine Field. Melissa and Dennis Ong started home schooling their nine children after watching friends tackle it and observing the bond between the

father and children. Melissa said her kids would wait at the door for their dad to come home and they’d jump up and down shouting “pop quiz, pop quiz.” Dennis would indulge them with a math question such as “what is 12 divided by 4?” The Ong children say they developed love and respect for each other. Home schooling is legal but regulations can differ from province to province. In Saskatchewan, parents who want to home school must file a notice of intent with the school division when each child turns six. This form must include the family’s address, list who is teaching the child and the education plan for the four required subjects of mathematics, language arts, science and social studies.

Building better midge traps.

Getting started | Experienced home schoolers share advice on starting home-based program A university degree is not required to home school children, parents heard during the Saskatchewan Home Based Educators 2013 convention Feb. 22. “I’m a truck driver,” said Cory Amendt of Hepburn, Sask., who with his wife, Kathi, have kept their three children at home for the past three years. The Amendts were part of a parents panel outlining how to get into home schooling. They had watched friends home school and thought they were crazy at first, but then realized that their kids were their responsibility. “Whoever said that after four or five years at home that our job as parents is done?” said Cory. “Of course, it’s an easier decision for the dads to do home schooling,” he said, noting how it’s often the moms who do the formal teaching. Cory conceded that God challenged them to home school their kids but added there is truth in the adage, train a child in the way they should go and when they are older they won’t depart from it. Kathi said when they sent their eldest to kindergarten, he would come home dragging his backpack up the driveway, too tired to play with his siblings. “He wasn’t the boy I sent to school in the mornings,” she said. At first, Kathi started home schooling with a long list of daily tasks, but she doesn’t get to them every day. She finds there are valuable lessons in the household and animal chores the three must do on their acreage. The kids care for the sheep and

chickens and also have music lessons. The formal subjects are in the morning with lessons and homework. The afternoons are for reading, piano practice and chores. Kathi says she favours courses where she can teach her children from the same page, which has different questions, essays or experiments for each according to their age. She finds her girls easier to teach because they can sit still and be quiet. Her son sometimes needs to stand by her and get one-on-one urging at the table to finish. That’s an advantage over formal classrooms where the teacher is dealing with 30 students. She finds boys do better at reading if interested in the subject. Kathi said juggling roles in housekeeping and teaching get easier as the children age and can help her more. She suggested home schoolers have a schedule for various activities, lower their housekeeping standards and take 20 minutes during the day for themselves. “When kids are young, maybe your husband has to be more involved,” she said. When parents decide to try home schooling, other family members can be critical of the decision. Socialization is sometimes raised as a concern for home schooled children but she said most people can recall bullying and mean laughter that causes kids to fall silent in school. Her advice for parents contemplating home schooling is to get advice from a family that is schooling their children at home.

ON THE FARM | POULTRY PROCESSING

Farm takes on supply chain role From start to finish | Vertically integrated operation raises free-run turkeys and chickens BY TAMARA LEIGH FREELANCE WRITER

ABBOTSFORD, B.C. — Rossdown Farms and Natural Foods is bucking the trend of a poultry industry largely built on specialization. Over the last 30 years, the familyowned poultry operation in British Columbia’s Fraser Valley has been evolving toward complete vertical integration. It has expanded to include a feed mill, hatchery and processing plant from a single broiler farm. “We are the only vertically integrated operation like it in Canada,” said Pat Wiebe, who manages customer relations and market development. “The poultry industry in Canada is very segmented and compartmentalized. We’ve taken all of the parts of the system and put them under one roof to manage them mutually. It was a vision of my father and makes for a better, more sustainable product.” Getting the pieces in place has been a lifelong goal for founder Dan Wiebe. He grew up working in the family egg grading and marketing

business, but in 1968, he decided to set out farming on his own. By the early 1970s, he began observing the trends and made a key business decision. “I started to recognize that there was a limited time to establish ourselves in food production before there would be changes at the top of the ladder in processing, so I started adding allied parallel industries,” said Dan. The process wasn’t easy. As the Canadian poultry industry developed and grew, the Wiebes were pressured to conform to the model of specialized production. “We really pushed the boundaries and it upset our competition to no end. We had to fight competitors, regulatory bodies and the appeal boards that were in charge of how supply management was running in B.C.,” Dan said. “Ultimately they came to recognize that what we were doing was not a danger to supply management, but an asset.” Today, the Rossdown operation hatches, raises and slaughters 100 percent of its turkey and chicken pro-

It has two primary product lines: free run and organic. It raises 45,000 free-run broiler chickens and 4,000 free-run turkeys per week and sells through local retailers. Organics are a much smaller part of the operation, but growing steadily. Rossdown has partnered with organic growers to further develop an

organic market in both chicken and turkey. “It used to be more of an elite group of people who chose organic, but now we’re seeing a mainstream consumer who is not as scared of the prices anymore,” said Pat. “Informed consumers want to make a choice about where product is coming from and everything that got it to the shelf.” In 2007, Dan retired and his young-

est son, Dion, took over as chief executive officer. Since then, the company has more than tripled in size. “We represent three or four percent of the industry in B.C., so we’re not going to compete in the big world dollar for dollar. Growth requires that we find those markets that aren’t necessarily in the mainstream,” said Dion. “We want to build longevity. We see opportunities for growth and are forging ahead.”

BEHAVIOUR | SEVERITY

Treat Asperger’s Syndrome with education and therapy A:

HEALTH CLINIC

CLARE ROWSON, MD

I have a son, 5, who may have Asperger’s syndrome. Is this the same thing as mild autism? He does not get on well with people. I have noticed since he was about three that he was a bit different from other children his age.

CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE

The new version of the psychiatric reference book, The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual or DSM 5, may be scrapping the term Asperger’s syndrome for Autism Spectrum Disorder or ASD. It is called a spectrum because symptoms can vary from mild, as in the condition formerly known as Asperger’s, to severe. In mild cases, there is evidence of impaired development in social interaction, communication and behaviour. Sometimes, there are obsessive ruminations about a certain topic or stereotyped repetitive ritual behaviour. ASD affects about one in 90

children, so is slightly more common than schizophrenia. There has been a huge increase in cases in the last decade. Whether that’s due to earlier and better diagnosis or some other factors such as environmental pollution, remains a matter for speculation. There is definitely a hereditary component because siblings and other relatives are more likely to have the same or related problems. It is five times more likely to affect boys than girls. Measles and other vaccinations do not cause these conditions. Most children with ASD are slow to learn to speak, relying more on

gestures and pointing. They also do not make friends easily and show little interest in games played by their peers. Some hate being touched and do not like to make eye contact. Any child who shows these behaviours before the age of three and is late in speech development should be assessed by a neurologist for underlying brain abnormalities, and also tested for deafness. There are some questionnaires that can be administered by a pediatrician, a speech therapist or a psychologist to help make the diagnosis. Treatment is geared toward educational methods and speech therapy

and learning occupational and social skills. Appropriate social responses can be taught slowly by breaking down the lessons into small, manageable segments. One on one attention is required. Vitamins, chelation therapy and other alternative treatments have not been scientifically proven to be of any benefit. As with any chronic and difficult to cure condition, there are many scammers and con artists promising a quick fix miracle cure that costs large amounts of money.

SNOWMOBILES | MANITOBA DERBY

Old school riders return to the trails The good old days | The unique designs of vintage snowmobiles are making a comeback BY JOE KNYCHA FREELANCE WRITER

MAKAROFF, Man. — Vintage snowmobiles are fast becoming collectibles in their own right as more are rescued from sheds and fields and restored to working order. Interest is growing in snowmobiles that pre-date the innovative and technological leaps they underwent in the early 1980s. And as interest grows, so do the number of events that involve them. Get-togethers and trail rides feature vintage and antique categories, but a few in particular stand out for catering only to machines built prior to 1985 and dating to the late 1950s, the dawn of snowmobiling as it’s known today. In mid-February, more than 150 vintage and antique sleds were gathered for the Roblin Snowmobile

Association’s seventh annual Vintage Snowmobile Derby. Registrations were down from the 200 that showed in 2012, said the association’s chief organizer Peter Mysko. “But there’s a good reason for that. The year before, we had more snow here than anybody else had for miles around,” he said. “The first year, we had only 50 to 60 sleds, but it was also -35 degrees that day.” The vintage sled phenomenon appeals to a wide range of ages and tastes, Mysko said. “Many admire the simplicity and affordability of the older technology and others like the fact that they can actually fix and maintain the things themselves.” CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

The vintage machines also have “unique characters” that set them apart from today’s powerful, hightech, fuel-injected machines. “Just looking at them can transport some people of a certain age instantly back in time,” he said. None of that mattered to Tessa Verstappen, 9, of Roblin, who rode her father, Jayjay’s, 1976 Ski-Doo Everest on the 26 km trail ride/poker derby. Her father rode a 1976 Moto-ski Nuvik. “They’re just fun to ride, and it’s outdoors and the weather’s nice,” Verstappen said. Mysko, who’s been riding sleds around Roblin all his life, agreed. “On these trails, a vintage sled just feels right,” he said. The Antique and Classic Snowmobile Club of Canada (www.acscc. com) is an organization devoted to old iron. There’s huge variety in style and sled configuration from the conventional two skis up front with a rear track to single ski and dual track sleds, side-by-side two-seaters and even a rare 1970 Ben Angus Caribou that foregoes skis entirely in favour of two parallel tracks. The breadth of engineering, styling and design in vintage sleds is not surprising, Mysko said. Over the past six decades, more than 200 companies have manufactured snowmobiles.

RESEARCH | BREAD

Researchers discover secret behind sourdough bread Unique fermentation process has anti-fungal properties for longer shelf life BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

EDMONTON — A University of Alberta researcher has discovered a way to reduce the number of preservatives in bread without reducing its shelf life. Michael Ganzle has isolated compounds in sourdough bread that will give bread the same mould-free shelf life as bread with traditional preservatives. The preservatives added to conventional bread help extend shelf life but also give it a unique smell that people often associate with bread. “What we tried to do is show that it is equal to and as good as what is currently used by industry.” To Ganzle, sourdough means a special fermentation process or natural ingredients. He and PhD candidate Brenna Black discovered that hydroxy fatty acids in sourdough have anti-fungal properties and are formed in the production of fermented food. Ganzle’s discovery will help bakers who want to reduce the number of ingredients in the bread, especially preservatives.

“If you are a baker, you don’t grow by selling. People will not eat more bread. Bread consumption is stable or slightly declining. If you want to grow your business, you grow by selling something consumers are more likely to buy or likely to pay more money for. This could be one possibility to do that,” he said. The discovery of the anti-fungal hydroxy fatty acids will allow bakers to remove one or two ingredients from the bread recipe without changing the quality of the bread or reducing its shelf life. Ganzle said sourdough is recognized in Europe as something that is fermented, while in North America it is associated with the chemical acidification process that gives bread its unique flavour. He said discovering the link in sourdough bread that acts as a preservative is a significant breakthrough. Few bakeries are able to create uniform loaves of bread using the sourdough fermentation process, so Ganzle hopes a bakery ingredie n t ma n u f a c t u re r c a n u s e h i s research to create a powdered form of the sourdough starter or some

kind of starter culture to ensure the correct formulation of anti-fungal properties. “This is close or at the point I can talk to a product developer. I can tell them this is the strain you need to use and this is the compound you need to look for,” he said. He said the finished product could be marketed as bread with natural preservatives rather than sourdough bread. As a sideline of the work, the same anti-fungal acids that prevent mould in bread could be used as a seed treatment in grain. “One possibility is it could be used to treat canola seed, wheat, barley, flax before planting to prevent infection by phytopathogens,” he said. “You would reduce the amount of fungal spores associated with the seed, and that’s why seed has a better chance of growth to a healthy plant.” Such a seed treatment could be an alternative for organic producers who are more limited in their use of fungicides. “We would like to think that this could be something we would like to evaluate,” he said.

Michael Ganzle, professor of food microbiology and probiotics at the University of Alberta, discovered how the same antifungal properties in sourdough bread that reduce mould can be used in conventional bread making. | MARY MACARTHUR PHOTO

New board of directors | Organization hopes to boost barley acres BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The Canadian barley industry has taken another step in efforts to establish a national organization that represents all interests within the sector. The recently formed Barley Council of Canada announced last week its inaugural board of directors. The 14-member board will include seven representatives from grower groups in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia and Eastern Canada. The remaining seven seats are reserved for industry groups representing maltsters, brewers, feed manufacturers, feed users, grain handlers and exporters, researchers and life science companies. Chair Brian Otto said the council expects to be incorporated in the next two weeks. Board members are scheduled to hold their first face-to-face meeting next month in Winnipeg, where discussions will focus on establishing a budget and identifying a funding structure. Funding to support the council’s operations is expected to come from membership fees and other forms of support rather than producer levies. Otto, a barley producer from Warner, Alta., who is also a director with the Western Barley Growers Association, said the new council is modeled after the Canola Council of Canada and Pulse Canada. The main difference is that producer representatives will fill half of the chairs at the barley council’s board table. The council’s main priorities will include innovation and research, best management practices for prod u c e r s, ma rke t d e v e l o p m e nt, i m p rov i n g ma rke t a c c e s s a n d enhancing communication and collaboration within the barley supply chain. Otto said the council will strive to maximize efficiencies and avoid duplicating functions provided by existing organizations. The council’s architects were careful to ensure that board membership was equally distributed between farmer and industry interests, he added. “As industry members and farmers, our board of directors recognizes the importance of equal representation when developing national strategies to strengthen the Canadian barley industry.” One of the council’s key functions will be to foster growth in the barley industry by identifying common priorities and providing a unified voice for all participants including producers, buyers, sellers, processors and end users. Industry representative Pat Rowan said Canadian barley acreage has been diminishing while other crops such as canola and wheat continue to dominate the western Canadian landscape. Acreage has dropped to an estimated eight million acres this year from more than 12 million acres in 2004. “One of the things that we want as a council is to emphasize the need for more barley acres,” said Rowan,

manager of Canadian barley operations for BARI-Canada Inc. Rowan said stakeholders in the barley industry must work collaboratively and develop a unified vision. He said even though stakeholders have different interests, there are many areas of common interest such as market development, market protection and investments in varietal development. “We’ll all be pulling in the same direction, that’s the intent,” he said. In addition to the formation of a

national barley council, new provincial commissions have also been established in Western Canada to collect producer levies on wheat and barley. The Alberta Barley Commission and the soon-to-be established Saskatchewan Barley Commission are represented on the barley council’s inaugural board. Manitoba barley farmers are represented by Keystone Agricultural Producers president Doug Chorney. KAP is leading efforts to establish

WHEAT | PROCESSING

Soft kernel durum ‘superior for pasta’ American research | New varieties show potential but aren’t ready for millers BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Craig Morris has been seeking the answer to an intriguing technical question for the last 15 years: is it possible to make a durum wheat variety with soft kernels? The wheat expert with Washington State University has determined the answer is yes, but few durum growers are aware of the achievement. “I could probably count on my two hands the number of growers that actually know about this stuff,” said Morris, who is also director of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Western Wheat Quality Laboratory in Pullman, Washington. That could soon change because Morris has developed several soft kernel varieties, including a soft version of Strongfield, one of the most popular durum varieties in Saskatchewan. The soft durum has potential to revolutionize pasta making. It has outperformed conventional hard durum varieties in pasta making, and has shown to perform well as a baking flour in test kitchens. Companies are interested in commercializing Morris’ soft durum, but he is waiting for patent approval. Morris began working on soft durum wheat in the 1990s because he wanted to challenge the conventional notions about durum wheat, particularly how it is processed and how it is used. Durum has the hardest kernels of all the wheat classes and millers rarely convert it into flour because it requires too much energy. Instead, they grind it into semolina, which is used primarily to make pasta and couscous. Morris said the process has led to the assumption that hard durum kernels are essential for high quality pasta. “That’s the conventional view of the world, and it’s based on our immediate experience…. It’s absolutely incorrect,” he said. “Soft durum actually makes better pasta than normal durum. It’s just that soft durum has never existed before … so we don’t have any experience that would allow us to think outside the box.” Morris has grown soft durum in Arizona and on the northern Plains for a number of years, including a 20 acre field in Montana. A commercial mill converted the soft durum from the Montana field into flour, and master bakers with Cargill tested it by making pizza dough, bagels, croissants and muffins. Durum flour, with its high gluten content, nutty taste and yellowish colour, “kills as a pizza crust,” Morris told Wheat Life, the Washington Association of Wheat Growers magazine. “Because you have soft kernels, it mills into a nice soft flour that has low starch damage,” Morris said. “Without exception, it performs equal to and in almost all cases better than conventional durum semolina…. In some senses it’s better than

bread flour.” Soft durum kernels are also easier to turn into pasta than hard durum because the process requires less water. “You can absolutely say that soft durum is superior for pasta,” he said. Morris said there are no differences in yield, crop height and disease tolerance between hard and soft durum. Therefore, it makes sense for growers to adopt soft durum because it’s more versatile than durum with hard kernels, he added. “Right now, you could argue that durum production is limited by demand,” he said. “And demand is directly linked to how much pasta people eat…. If we can expand the culinary uses of durum … that should drive demand.” Danny Singh, an Agriculture Canada durum breeder in Swift Current, Sask., said western Canadian durum is milled into flour, but its use is limited to flatbread in South Asia, particularly India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. The crop could play a role in global food security if growers switch over to soft durum because high corn yields and profitability have driven wheat onto marginal cropland over the last decade, Morris said. “It’s actually a global phenomenon. Maize is pushing wheat into more remote areas.” A soft durum wheat that can be milled into flour may alleviate global food shortages because durum has higher tolerance for drought, soil salinity and a semi-arid climate, he added. However, Morris conceded that the crop will not become an overnight success. He said companies have invested millions of dollars in existing milling technology and won’t abandon those mills just because a Washington state wheat breeder has developed a superior variety. “There is a hell of lot of capital sitting around in durum mills and pasta plants,” Morris said. “Nobody is going to walk away from flour mills overnight and start doing it a different way. So, how we ramp it (soft durum) up is going to be quite interesting.”

MAPPING WHEAT • Cultivated wheat falls into three main groups on the basis of its genome: diploids have two copies of their genome, tetraploids have four copies and hexaploids have six. • Most bread wheat is hexaploid, with 42 chromosomes, but durum is a tetraploid with 28 chromosomes. • The name durum comes from the Latin word for hard. • Durum is valued for its high gluten content, making it suitable for pasta. • Durum endosperm is yellow, which is why spaghetti has an amber hue.

ConAgra, Cargill and CHS combine milling Flour milling | New company, Ardent Mills, will control 34 percent of U.S. market and have two Canadian plants (Reuters) — Giant U.S. food and grain-handling companies ConAgra Foods Inc., Cargill and CHS Inc. plan to combine their North American flour milling businesses into a new company called Ardent Mills. The venture, which the companies expect to launch later this year, encompasses 44 flour mills, three bakery mix facilities and a specialty bakery, with locations in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico. The venture would control roughly 34 percent of the U.S. market in terms of milling capacity, with total daily wheat and durum flour capacity for the combined company around 576,100 hundredweight. The venture will aim to serve bak-

ery and food companies with more cost-effective supply chains and more innovative products and processes, the companies said in a joint statement. By combining operations, which last year did roughly $4.3 billion in sales, the three also hope to better handle commodity price volatility and increasingly sophisticated food safety requirements, they said. “The future of flour milling is tied to serving the innovation and supply chain management challenges of food producers,” Scott Portnoy, corporate vice-president of Cargill, said in a written statement. “It (Ardent Mills) will have the knowledge and experience to help customers develop foods that appeal

to consumers’ changing taste and texture preferences, while also meeting their nutritional needs.” Ardent Mills will combine ConAgra Mills with Horizon Milling, the joint venture that Cargill and CHS formed in 2002. Horizon is considered the No. 1 U.S. miller in terms of milling capacity and ConAgra is third after ADM Milling. In Canada, Horizon has mills in Saskatoon and Montreal and in 2011 announced plans for a mill in Guelph, Ont. It sells Robin Hood brand flour. ConAgra Mills does not have facilities in Canada. Omaha, Nebraska-based ConAgra and Minneapolis-based Cargill will each have a 44 percent stake in the joint venture.

CHS, based in St. Paul, Minnesota, will control the remaining 12 percent. All three companies will have representatives on the Ardent board. Horizon is seen as the top U.S. milling company, with total daily milling capacity of 290,500 cwt., followed by ADM Milling, which has 281,100 cwt. daily milling capacity and ConAgra with 255,100 cwt. daily milling capacity. Horizon Milling president Dan Dye will become chief executive officer of the new company, and Bill Stoufer, current president of ConAgra Mills, will become Ardent Mills’ chief operating officer and chief integration officer. The headquarters will be determined later.

If antitrust concerns do develop, the government could require some sort of asset divestitures. But Cargill corporate vice-president Scott Portnoy said in an interview that the “complete asset footprint” of combined operations was a key reason for the deal. He said Ardent did not want to close or sell off any of the mills, even as some raised questions about anti-trust issues.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (Reuters) — Africa’s agricultural sector could become a $1 trillion US industry by 2030 if governments and the private sector radically rethink policies and support for farmers, said a World Bank report. Africa’s food market, valued at $313 billion a year, could triple if farmers modernized their practices and had better access to credit, new technology, irrigation and fertilizers, according to the new report Growing Africa: Unlocking the Potential of Agribusiness. The World Bank said African farmers have a unique opportunity to tap into growing demand from a burgeoning middle class with more expensive tastes, an expected fourfold increase in urban supermarkets in Africa and higher commodity prices. Rice, poultry, dairy, vegetable oils, horticulture, feed grains and processed foods for local markets were likely to be the most dynamic areas of agribusiness in Africa, the World Bank said. Countries such as Kenya, Ghana, Cameroon, Malawi and Zambia were already tapping buoyant agricultural markets, the bank said. “Africa is now at a crossroads, from which it can take concrete steps to realize its potential or continue to lose competitiveness, missing a major opportunity for increased growth, employment, and food security,” the report said. Despite a decade of strong economic growth and a surge in private sector investment in the region, Africa’s share of global agriculture exports has fallen. Countries such as Brazil, Indonesia and Thailand export more agriculture products than all of Sub-Saharan Africa, the bank said.

Meanwhile, the region is home to more than 50 percent of the world’s uncultivated agriculture land, with as much as 1.1 billion acres that is not forested, protected or densely populated, the report said. The bank said boosting agriculture should become the top priority of governments so that farmers can take advantage of the increase in global demand for food and higher prices. They should also look at ways to boost regional integration to promote more cross-border food trade by reducing check points, tackling bribery along main freight corridors, and cutting bureaucratic red tape and transaction costs. Harvests routinely yield far less than their potential and food is often spoiled because of poor storage facilities, it added. But while there is a need to expand agriculture across Africa, the World Bank warned there needs to be careful analysis and governments should guard against land grabs for investment. The 2008-09 global food price crisis prompted a scramble for land in parts of Asia, Africa and Latin America, and widespread fears of land grabbing. Madagascar’s president was toppled in 2009 after he negotiated a deal with a South Korean company to lease half the island’s arable land to grow food and ship it to Asia. “The challenge is to harness investors’ interest in ways that generate jobs, provide opportunities for smallholders, respect the rights of local communities, and protect the environment,” the report said. “A key challenge is to curb speculative land investments or acquisitions that take advantage of weak institutions in African countries or disregard principles of responsible agricultural investment,” it added.

RESISTANCE

IS SPREADING IN WESTERN CANADA Overlapping control on the same weed is key to resistance management.

MODE OF ACTION

Multi-Mode of Action products, like EclipseTM III, PrePassTM XC, StellarTM and TandemTM, contain two or more active ingredients with different modes of action that deliver overlapping control on the same target weeds. It’s important to ensure the different active ingredients control the same target weed. Applying a product with multiple modes of action helps prevent weed escapes, because weeds in a plant population that are tolerant to one mode of action will likely be controlled by the second mode. This reduces the likelihood that resistant plants will survive and multiply. If no resistant weeds are present, Multi-Mode of Action herbicide use will further delay resistance development because the likelihood of a plant being resistant to both modes of action at the same time is very remote.

Herbicide rotation alone will delay the onset of resistance; however, incorporating multi-mode of action products in conjunction with rotation is a more effective resistance management strategy. The graphs depicting frequency of resistant weeds over generations is a hypothetical example valid only for the modeled parameters. Actual rates of weed resistance development and increase are dependent on a variety of conditions, including the weed species, propensity for outcrossing, seed dormancy, mode of inheritance of the resistance trait, herbicide mode of action, and herbicide efﬁcacy.

Producers have weeds top of mind Farmer survey | Data shows growers aren’t doing enough to combat resistance BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Canadian farmers think weeds are becoming more difficult to control but aren’t consistently using multiple modes of herbicides to combat them, a BASF Canada survey has concluded. An Ipsos Reid telephone survey of 500 Canadian growers, conducted on behalf of BASF Canada last December, determined more farmers are worried about herbicide resistant weeds. In results released March 5, 63 percent of Canadian producers said weeds are getting tougher to control on their farms : a seven percent increase from a previous BASF survey done in March 2012. As well, 43 percent of growers think they have herbicide resistant weeds on their land and 47 percent said glyphosate by itself is no longer effective. The results represent, respectively, a six percent and seven percent increase from the March 2012 survey. In contrast, 67 percent of growers strongly agreed when asked if they use multiple modes of action to kill weeds, a decrease of 10 percent from the previous survey. While the questions were different, the responses are similar to the findings of a Certified Crop Advisor email survey that found growers are aware of herbicide resistance but reluctant to take action on their farms. CC A International chair Amy Asmus sent a survey to her colleagues in the United States, Canada and Mexico before she participated in a panel discussion at the Weed Science Society of America’s annual meeting in Baltimore in early February. “I was a little nervous sharing my views. I wanted to (provide) a broader view, and the survey allowed me to have certified crop advisers and certified professional agronomists get their input in,” said Asmus, a coowner of Asmus Farm Supply in Iowa. Forty percent of respondents said they would change agronomic practices to fight herbicide resistant weeds only when the problem appeared on their farm. Another 24 percent were willing to consider best management practices, but the additional cost and time are stumbling blocks. “I find with some of our larger growers (in Iowa), they think they (are) progressive,” Asmus said. “When push comes to shove … they have good intentions, but sometimes that falls to time or weather constraints.” The ratio of rented to owned cropland is another factor that influences farmer behaviour, at least in the U.S. Midwest, said Kevin Bradley, an associate professor of plant science at University of Missouri. Thirty-eight percent of farmland in the U.S. corn belt was rented or leased in 2007, according to a 2012 U.S. Department of Agriculture

report on farmland values and ownership. The high percentage of rented land stifles the progressive practices needed to combat herbicide resistance, Bradley said. “A lot of times a farmer wants to do the things we’re telling them to do. And they cannot because of what the landowner is telling them.”

WORKER SAFETY | POWER LINES

Power line contact deadly Burn victim warns others | There were 295 contacts with power lines last year BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

There are three inadvertent contacts with power lines in Alberta every day, on average, and that’s just the ones that are reported. As power lines proliferate and the province’s economic engine rumbles with moving equipment, construction and other development, the likelihood of contact grows. With it, the chances of death, injury and equipment damage also grow. Darryl Pederson, health and safety adviser for Fortis Alberta, said nobody died in Alberta in 2012 from power line incidents and that makes it an unusual year. But there were 295 contacts with power lines last year, according to Fortis records, and 81 were with underground lines. Contact was made by track hoes, backhoes, directional drilling equipment and grain augers. Pederson was providing safety information in Lethbridge March 6 at a meeting of the Alberta Common Ground Alliance, a group dedicated to improving worker, public and community safety. His work includes warnings to farmers, who can come in contact with power lines while moving augers and seeding and spraying equipment.

LORNE JACKSON POWER LINE CONTACT SURVIVOR

“Basically what they need to do is include the location of overhead power lines (in considering) any hazards,” said Pederson. Of the last five fatal farm accidents with power line contact, he said four involved augers and one was a sprayer. The drastic repercussions of power line contact were explained in evocative detail by Lorne Jackson, a town of Pincher Creek councillor who used to work for the municipal district. In February 2005, Jackson was plowing rural roads near Burmis, Alta., when his grader hooked a power line while he was turning around on a rural road. The cross arms and line came down on the machine. At first, Jackson planned to stay inside the machine until help arrived. That is what safety training advises, unless a fire occurs. “That’s when the front tires caught my eye. They began smoking and almost immediately large chunks of

rubber were shooting 20 or 30 feet in the air. “I do remember thinking if this machine ignites, I’m in big, big trouble.” He decided to jump. “I don’t know if I fell on the jump or touched any metal or what the time lapse was in between, but the next thing I remember, I was standing there about 30 feet away from the grader with my arms and legs feeling like they were on fire from the pain.” Jackson decided a farmhouse about one kilometre away was his best hope for help, but his legs wouldn’t hold him. He stumbled and crawled across a field and through two barbed-wire fences, fighting pain and shock, while reciting the names of his wife and three children over and over again. “And although I’m not a church on Sunday kind of guy, I prayed as loudly as I could to let me go home again.” He reached the house and help was summoned. STARS ambulance took him to Calgary where he nearly died twice on the operating table. “I finally woke up from a drug induced coma to the horror of seeing both of my legs amputated below the knees,” said Jackson.

Farmers moving equipment in and out of fields, around the farmyard or anywhere else should always be aware of overhead lines that may pose a danger. | FILE PHOTO Doctors began to talk of amputating his left arm and right hand as well, but after three months of excruciating physiotherapy, Jackson was able to move his fingers and was approved for flesh grafting. Jackson said he was dismayed that during his eight months in hospital, two more workplace accidents involving power lines brought people to the burn unit. Two more occurred shortly after his release. In an interview after his talk, Jackson admitted it is difficult to recount the ordeal, “but I think it’s important for people to hear things like that from a person that’s lived it. “I think it burns it more in people’s minds when they hear it.” Jackson encouraged the 260 people at the meeting to do hazard assessments before starting jobs, no matter how redundant they may seem.

KEEPING A SAFE DISTANCE Moving equipment too close to power lines can be dangerous. The list below indicates the maximum height that any equipment or load should be to remain safe when travelling in the locations noted: • 3.6 metres – areas normally accessible only to pedestrians. • 4.1 metres – driveways to houses or garages. • 4.2 metres – areas where agricultural equipment is normally used. • 4.2 metres – farmyard or field access roads. • 5.3 metres – roads and highways. • Equipment, either in operation or parked, should maintain seven metres of distance from power lines.

Call before you dig | Alberta plans to implement a ‘click before you dig’ campaign and an anonymous reporting system for anyone who damages a utility, pipeline or gas line BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Carl Brockman had a nightmare about fire the night before he spoke to the Alberta Common Ground Alliance meeting March 5. He has many nightmares about fire. The district foreman for Atco Gas nearly died in a 2001 accident in Olds, Alta., when he was repairing a gas leak. He was surrounded by fire when a pipe split as he was welding it, and he was trapped in a five-foot-deep hole with a broken fire extinguisher as flames licked around him. He suffered first-degree burns to his face and ears, second degree burns to his arms and third degree burns to his legs. Investigation later revealed the pipe he was repairing had been hit and damaged years before but no one had reported it. His story shows the importance of calling before digging and of reporting accidental damage to underground utilities. “This is a thing that I don’t want anybody to go through,” he told 270 people at the Lethbridge meeting. “Find a way to do it safe. Don’t take any chances.” Many gas lines, pipelines and power lines criss-cross rural Alberta, and farmers have a fairly good record of calling before they dig so that they know the exact location of underground lines, said Alberta One-Call Corp. president Mike Sullivan. “We do track our locate requests and the rural numbers are very high, so that is a good indication that the agricultural community is contacting us for locate requests,” he said in an interview after a speech. Farmers don’t necessarily have a legal obligation to call before they dig. It depends on who has regulatory authority on the line. People are required to identify the exact location of a pipeline under National Energy Board governance if it’s 30 metres from where they intend to dig, said Sullivan. That’s also the case for lines under Energy Resources Conservation Board authority. There’s no legal obligation for farmers to call when digging near fibre optic or telephone lines, although the wisdom of doing so is obvious. “The jurisdictional mix says they have to identify what’s there. Do they have to call before they dig? Is that language there specifically? Not necessarily. Only with the ERCB. But Alberta One Call … why wouldn’t they? We just make it that much simpler.” Alberta One Call, established almost 30 years ago, provides the location of underground lines to farmers, contractors, excavators, homeowners and virtually anyone else who plans to dig a hole. It has publicized its “call before you dig” motto, and Sullivan said it will soon implement a “click before you dig” campaign when it launches its full online ser vice later this month. Working with Alberta One Call, the Alberta Common Ground Alliance also plans to launch an anonymous

reporting process for anyone who damages a pipeline, gas line or utility line. Anonymous reporting will prevent repercussions for the perpetra-

tor, but it will allow the alliance to address damage and collect data on how and where damage occurs, said Sullivan. That way the alliance can identify trends and develop training materials to prevent incidents where lines are damaged. Such a service could have saved Brockman months of physical pain and a lifetime of anguish. “It’s the mental scars that hurt me most,” he told the crowd. “I think about how bad it could have been.”

DADE CITY, Fla. — Cattle first arrived in Florida on the ship of Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de Leon in 1521. Today, Florida has a million cows with Brahman, Angus and Hereford being the most common. “Florida’s hidden industry is the cattle industry,” said Larry Barthle, who is a partner in Barthle Brothers Ranch north of Tampa, Florida. The family offered a ranch tour to National Cattlemen’s Beef Association convention visitors in early February. The Barthles arrived in the area in 1850, and seven generations of the extended family have created a diversified ranch of 8,250 acres managing water, grassland, forest, hunting leases, 1,200 cows and registered Quarter horses. “We are trying all sorts of things to diversify because just living off cattle alone can be kind of tough,” said Ben Barthle, Larry’s son. They grew oranges for 40 years, but frosts 20 years ago killed their orchards and they did not replant because of the expense. An orange tree will die if it is exposed to -2 C for four hours. The ranch started as open range. Florida was the last state to have a

fence law, and Albert and JA Barthle started to buy land before 1940 when that practice changed. The ranch was incorporated in 1960 and comprised 20,000 acres. Albert died in 1970 and JA in 1971. A parcel of land had to be sold to pay inheritance taxes, and the remaining 16,000 acres were split between two families. Today, an extended family of 28 members own and operate Barthle Brothers Ranch. Diversification is necessary, but the mainstay is livestock. The family has raised Quarter horses for 50 years and has 70 registered Gray Brahman cattle. The commercial herd of 1,200 is part of a three breed rotation of Hereford, Angus and Brahman, which are needed so the cattle can adapt to the subtropical climate. Charolais have been introduced for terminal crosses. The Barthles look for moderate sized bulls that can still produce marbled beef with large rib eyes. The cows are 1,000 pounds, and Randy Barthle said they have trouble breeding in this environment if they get much larger. The cattle are marketed through video auction and shipped 2,600 kilometres in April to Texas or Kansas for feeding and processing. Some are fed through retained

ownership in southern Texas each fall to collect carcass and performance information. The ranch has grass 10 months of the year, but it dies and has no nutrient value when a frost comes. Rye grass is planted for winter grazing and hay and protein supplements are offered. Oak trees are found throughout the property, and the cattle will graze acorns that have

rn for Florida ranch fallen on the ground. “Florida grass is very low quality,” Larry said. “There is a lot of tonnage, but not a lot of quality. There is a lot of water in the grass.” The soil type varies from fine white sand to hard red and white clay. The soil does not hold water. Protecting the environment and water has been a long-term battle. Nearby St. Petersburg was running out of water and had salt intrusion into city wells. It needed more water and bought a ranch with a field of wells.

“At one point in time they were pumping 45 million gallons of water every day out of this well field,” said Jan Dillard, Larry and Randy’s sister. Consequently, the Barthles’ ranch started to run out of water. They lost 1,400 acres of wetlands and a large lake on their property dried up. The family conducted disaster tours to show the damage to public officials and media. “We did our disaster tours for three or four years and even then it was a few years after that before anything was done,” she said.

The pumping was reduced, but the ranch is still dry. They pumped water into the lake in 1997, and the Tampa Bay Water Authority eventually agreed to provide help. It built 13 concrete water troughs, which were 23 to 24 yards long fed with solar and electrical power. Larry said the authority pays the power bills, but would not agree that the urban pumping had destroyed their aquifer. That experience turned them into agricultural educators. They offer school tours and work with the Florida Cattlewomen’s Association to teach future chefs about raising and cooking beef. “We always felt education is very important as far as keeping our industr y viable so that people understand it, ” she said. A growing part of the ranch is opening it up to hunters through leases. A 10 member hunting club leases 200 acres of land, which grants it year round access to the ranch. Members are allowed to hunt whatever is legal, including deer and feral hogs. The wild hogs are a serious problem in the area, and the government encourages ranchers to remove 70 percent of them each year. The family began offering quail hunts on 80 acres two years ago. They allow eight people to enter the area with bird dogs for the annual hunt. They also sell wild turkey hunts.

COMMODITY CLASSIC | ENVIRONMENT

Industry adopts sustainability strategy Soybean production | American group answering customersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; questions differently BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

KISSIMMEE, Fla. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Sustainability was the buzzword at the 2013 Commodity Classic conference. It cropped up in many of the speeches, news conferences and presentations at the annual gathering of U.S. corn, soybean, wheat and sorghum growers. Customers are increasingly curious about how the food theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re eating was produced, especially those in the European Union. That has groups such as the American Soybean Association attempting to prove to buyers that they are sustainable crop producers. To that end, the ASA has developed the Soy Sustainability Assurance Protocol in conjunction with the United Soybean Board and the U.S. Soybean Export Council. ASA chair Steve Wellman said the protocol assures buyers that U.S. soybeans are the most sustainably produced soybeans in the world. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our approach has been an aggregate approach for all the U.S. soybean production and not an approach that says this farmer is sustainable, this one isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t,â&#x20AC;? said Wellman during an interview at the Classic. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a different tactic than whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s being promoted by some of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest food companies. Unilever has pledged to its customers that 50 percent of the agricultural raw material it uses in its food prod-

U.S. | FARM POLICY

Group calls for cuts to U.S. crop insurance WASHINGTON, D.C. (Reuters) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A coalition of fiscal conservatives in the United States is calling for a steep cut in federal subsidies for crop insurance, setting up a clash with U.S. farm groups that see the program as their top priority in a new farm bill. Growers have collected more than $15 billion US in payments for 2012 losses resulting from the worst U.S. drought since the 1930s. Of that total, the cost to the government could be $10 billion. Crop insurance is the biggest part of the U.S. farm safety net, thanks to high commodity prices and the popularity of policies that shield farmers from low prices and poor yields. The program is expected to cost $85 billion over the next decade. Senator Jeff Flake of Arizona and representative John Duncan of Tennessee, both Republicans, filed bills to save $40 billion by slashing the federal subsidy for buying crop insurance. The government now pays 62 cents of each $1 of the premium. The Flake and Duncan bills would return the subsidy to the levels of the late 1990s, when it was around 38 percent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a program that loses money for the taxpayers whichever way it goes,â&#x20AC;? Flake told reporters.

uct will be sustainably sourced by 2015 and 100 percent by 2020. Unileverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sustainability program takes consumers all the way back to the individual farmer, who is asked to complete a 90-page sustainability form that is subject to a company audit. Wellman said that identity preservation approach doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work for a commodity crop such as soybeans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have 17,000 initial collection points for soybeans. Then itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commingled. As itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exported out, everything gets mixed together,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very efficient that way. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the cheapest way to move the whole

product to the consumer.â&#x20AC;? We l l m a n s a i d t h e a g g re g a t e approach uses data dating back to the 1980s to show the improvements in U.S. soybean production in terms of reduced soil erosion and increased water efficiency. The industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definition of sustainability is for farmers to meet the needs of consumers while leaving the environment in as good condition as when they started. He said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too early to tell whether buyers in the European Union will accept the U.S. soybean industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approach to sustainability because the program is just being rolled out.

COMMODITY CLASSIC | SOYBEANS

U.S. soybean growers eyeing European market Trade barriers | Regulation of biotechnology has reduced American soybean exports to the European Union BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

KISSIMMEE, Fla. — U.S. soybean growers see pending free trade negotiations with the European Union as a prime opportunity to resolve longstanding trade irritants. U.S. president Barack Obama revealed in his Feb. 12 State of the Union speech that the United States is launching talks on a comprehensive Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership agreement with the EU.

The American Soybean Association says the 27 member states of the EU represent a promising market for American soybeans, but there are substantial obstacles that would first have to be overcome in a free trade agreement. “The first of these barriers is the non-transparent and non-science based process in the EU for approving new biotech traits and its laws requiring labelling of food products that contain biotech ingredients,” ASA chair Steve Wellman said in a news conference at the 2013 Com-

modity Classic conference. The EU’s lengthy approval process has contributed to a 70 percent decline in U.S. soybean exports to the EU over the past five years. Wellman said Europe has been slow to recognize the benefits of biotechnology, but there is hope when long-time critics such as British environmentalist Mark Lynas are changing their stance on genetically modified crops. The EU’s Renewable Energy Directive (RED) is the other big trade irritant for the soybean industry. It has

STEVE WELLMAN ASA CHAIR

placed restrictions on the import of U.S. biodiesel and biodiesel feedstock, which is primarily soybeans. The RED requires biofuel used in the EU to demonstrate a minimum 35 percent reduction in greenhouse

gas emissions. Soybean biodiesel doesn’t make the cut. The result is that European crushers that import soybeans to produce meal for the EU feed sector can’t do anything with the oil. “At times, it gets loaded up on a ship and it gets shipped off to Africa or some other marketplace,” said Wellman. “All in the name of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.” The ASA argues that the EU used outdated data when it assessed soybean biodiesel. It sent the EU an updated data package several years ago, but officials are just beginning to look at it. The ASA also complains that the RED assessment is based on Brazilian data. The greenhouse gases associated with transporting soybeans from a U.S. farm to a crusher in the EU are less than they are for an equivalent trip for Brazilian soybeans. “As supportive as we are of a potential trade agreement with the EU, any such agreement that fails to address these critical issues is a non-starter,” said Wellman.

There is also concern that agriculture will be excluded from free trade negotiations with the EU because of the vast differences on issues such as the ones highlighted by the ASA. Wellman said that would be unacceptable. U.S. agriculture secretary Tom Vilsack said he agrees and has made it clear to Obama and the U.S. trade representative. “Agriculture has to be put on the table. It cannot be put to the side and not discussed and not resolved because there are serious differences of opinion between where we are and where the EU is,” Vilsack said during a news conference at the Classic. He said the EU is the U.S.’s fifth or sixth largest agricultural trading partner and could rise up the ranks if it “took a more informed view” on issues such as biotechnology. “They’re slowly coming to the realization that we’ve got a heck of a challenge as a humankind to feed this ever increasing world population and we better start embracing the science,” he said. Vilsack agreed with Wellman that the EU’s concerns over soybean biodiesel are misguided. “A lot of the concerns are old news. They are things that were brought up years ago that aren’t true today because the industry has evolved and efficiencies have been developed.” One thing that should ease the agricultural portion of the negotiations is the possibility of less government support for U.S. farmers in the next five-year farm bill. “In that sense we’ll be in a better, stronger bargaining position,” said Vilsack.

12041.01.13

KISSIMMEE, Fla. — A synopsis of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s 2013 wheat, soybean and corn acreage forecast goes something like this — big, bigger and massive. The USDA is forecasting a combined 230 million acres of the big three crops, which is almost identical to last year when farmers planted the highest area to wheat, soybeans and corn since 1982. Record high prices have encouraged farmers to seed 10 million more acres to the three crops than they were three years ago. So where are the extra acres coming from? Some of it is coming from land that was formerly in the conservation reserve program. The USDA is forecasting 27.1 million acres enrolled in the CRP, down 9.7 million acres from its peak in 2007. However, corn and soybeans are also making gains at the expense of cotton and rice, two traditional crops for growers in the southern United States. Danny Murphy, president of the American Soybean Association and a grower from Canton, Mississippi, thinks farmers will grow 250,000 acres of cotton in his home state this year, which would be less than half of the 550,000 acres grown last year. That’s 300,000 cotton acres up for grabs in just one state. “I would expect that to be divided between corn and soybeans in our state, and I would imagine many of the other southern states would be similar,” he said during a news conference at the 2013 Commodity Classic. The USDA is forecasting 10 million acres of cotton in 2013, down from

DANNY MURPHY AMERICAN SOYBEAN ASSOCIATION

12.3 million acres last year. The National Cotton Council of America expects an even bigger drop to nine million acres. U.S. growers were planting nearly 16 million acres of the crop at the turn of the century. Murphy said cotton isn’t price competitive with corn and beans. Farmers were signing contracts of $1.25 to $1.50 per pound two years ago, but today’s going rate is a disappointing 80 cents per lb. It’s also an expensive crop to grow. “At the kind of prices we see today, it’s not competitive,” said Murphy. “Price is the best fertilizer there is for producing crops.” Rice acres are also down, although the drop hasn’t been nearly as pronounced. The USDA is forecasting 2.64 million acres, down from 2.7 million last year and 3.06 million at the turn of the century. Murphy said rice is also expensive to grow, and farmers are increasingly confronted with water constraints. It is also a politically sensitive crop. Cuba and Iran were once big markets for U.S. rice, but both have been lost. The head of the American Soybean Association laments the migration of cotton acres to competing crops such as corn and soybeans. “There are reasons we’ve planted cotton for 150 or 200 years in the south. It’s a well adapted crop to the south,” he said. Murphy wonders if cotton and rice acres have declined enough that a price bump is in order.

Alliances formed to boost corn exports GMO approval | Partners hope to speed up process STORIES BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

KISSIMMEE, Fla. — The world’s major corn exporters are working together to streamline global approval of genetically modified crops. Grower groups in the United States, Brazil and Argentina have signed an agreement they hope will expedite the commercialization of new traits in corn crops. The board of the U.S. National Corn Growers Association approved the initiative during the 2013 Commodity Classic conference. “We want to have access to traits in a transparent and effective manner,” said NCGA president Pam Johnson. One of the main goals of the pact is to seek synchronized approvals of

new traits around the world and to push for faster turnaround times. “Approval rates in our own countries and in importing countries are so slow,” said Johnson. Another objective of the groups is to try to eliminate trade disruptions by encouraging importers to adopt low level presence policies allowing for reasonable levels of contamination from unapproved traits in grain shipments. Lastly, the corn growers plan to educate consumers about modern agriculture practices and the important role biotechnology will play in feeding nine billion people by 2050. Johnson said industry and governments are already doing a lot of this work but it’s important growers have a voice in the debate.

COMMODITY CLASSIC | U.S. BUDGET

Cuts to American trade promotion could create more opportunities for competitors Foreign Agriculture Service | U.S. budget crunch will result in fewer trade opportunities for growers, says agriculture secretary KISSIMMEE, Fla. — Budget cuts could make U.S. agriculture vulnerable to competitors in export markets, says the top official at the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The department’s Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) will have fewer dollars at its disposal to use in trade promotion once it is forced to implement its $1 to $1.5 billion share of the $85 billion in federal government sequester cuts. Every line item in the USDA’s budget will be reduced by five to six percent. “It’s not a situation where we can take money from conservation and move it over into the Foreign Agricultural Service to make sure that trade isn’t disrupted or take money from nutrition and put it into food safety,” agriculture secretary Tom Vilsack told the 2013 Commodity Classic. The cuts have to be implemented during the remaining half of the fiscal year, which means they will amount to 10 to 12 percent. Vilsack said the cuts will have direct and indirect impacts on the farm. One of the areas he highlighted was the reduction in the FAS budget, which will limit its trade promotion efforts. “That will probably mean about half a billion dollars in fewer trade opportunities,” said Vilsack. “Lord knows what it will do with our

competitors and their ability to go into foreign markets and suggest that perhaps the American market is not as certain as it once was. And that may have long-term impacts.” There will be $35 million less in credit funding, which means 1,500 growers won’t be able to operate their farms this spring. The Natural Resources Conservation Service won’t have the money to develop conservation plans for 2,600 farmers or the ability to fund the plans of another 12,000 growers. Land grant universities will see a $60 million reduction in research funding, which will force them to shelve 100 projects. About 600,000 people will no longer have access to a federal nutrition program. The USDA will also be forced to temporarily lay off food inspectors. “It’s not something I want to do. It’s not something I like doing but it is the law and it’s something I’m going to have to do,” said Vilsack. He estimates that will result in an $8 billion reduction in meat exports because no meat can be processed on the days inspectors are furloughed. Vilsack expressed frustration about the everything-has-to-be-slashed approach to the sequester cuts. “In a functioning democracy, this shouldn’t happen,” he said.

USDA renews focus on climate change

2012 drought a wake-up call | Benefits of multi-cropping will be a major element of initiative seeing more intense weather patterns as a result,” U.S. agriculture secretary Tom Vilsack told growers attending the 2013 Commodity Classic. Vilsack said the 2012 drought was a “call to action” for the USDA to help farmers adapt to climate change. As a first step, the department has prepared two reports on the longterm implications of a changing climate for agriculture. They will be followed by research aimed at teaching growers how to cope with too much or too little water,

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

KISSIMMEE, Fla. — Last year’s drought served as a wake-up call for the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The department realized it needs to fund more research on what producers can do to mitigate or adapt to the effects of climate change. “There may be discussion in this country about the cause of changing climates, but there’s no question that the world is getting a bit warmer and there’s no question that we’re

new pests and diseases and more frequent and violent storms. “It’s a massive effort to recognize that these intense weather patterns are not just an isolated incident,” Vilsack told reporters after his speech. “We are likely to see a continuing pattern of more intensity.” One focus of the climate change research will be to show growers how to better diversify their operations. “It occurred to us that we weren’t doing as good a job as we should talking about or educating producers

about the benefits of multi-cropping,” Vilsack told growers. He believes significant conservation benefits and marketing opportunities are available to growers who switch to a multi-cropping or cover cropping production system. Vilsack said the USDA needs to do a better job communicating to growers how biomass can be used to create chemicals, plastics, fibres and fabrics, thereby reducing America’s reliance on fossil fuels. “There are literally unlimited opportunities.”

RED DEER — Canadians are drinking less milk, but their taste for yogurt is growing, says a University of Alberta food market researcher. “Yogurt is the one product that is having this absolutely massive year over year increase in sales, particularly from about 1997,” Ellen Goddard said at the Western Dair y C o n f e re n c e h e l d i n R e d D e e r March 5-8. Sales of dairy products in Canada show a large decline in fluid milk sales, especially for two percent milk. Consumption has dropped from 98 litres per capita in 1980 to 71 litres in 2011. A national consumer study of more than 1,700 people found that most recognized the nutritional benefits of dairy products but saw milk and yogurt as different products. The survey was part of a master’s thesis for graduate student Shannon Allen. “We are either milk people or yogurt people, and there doesn’t seem to be much in between,” Goddard said. Yogurt is marketed as a branded product and offers more flavours and may come as a drink, frozen product or dessert. Labels also offer expanded nutrient information and often carry the Heart and Stroke Foundation health check. Yogurt is also fortified with extra vitamins and minerals and fibre. However, Goddard quoted a study in Food in Canada magazine that said product innovations in yogurt from 2010-12 showed most of the innovations treat yogurt more like a dessert. “Health is disappearing as an innovation in yogurt to a ver y great extent,” she said. “So perhaps it is all about taste and variety and choice that is making yogurt attractive.” Milk has equal nutritional attributes but is seen more as a generic product. Food companies promote yogurt to the tune of $45 million a year, while milk advertising is also generic and costs Dairy Farmers of Canada $25 million a year. “Given the differences in how yogurt and milk are marketed, then retail fluid milk sales might rebound if different marketing strategies were pursued,” she said. Personal preference was the common response in the survey when people were asked why they didn’t drink milk. They worried about its short shelf life and fat content and also said it is expensive. “The real price of milk is steadily widening the gap between itself and other beverages,” Goddard said. She said consumers want the healthiest beverage possible, but milk is going up in price compared to other drinks such as juice, which are getting cheaper. People participating in the survey knew calcium is found naturally in dairy products but believed fortified products such as orange juice, cereal and bread are equally good.

FARM POLICY | U.S. BUDGET

U.S. budget cut fears focused on food system Slaughter and processing | Industry officials concerned about potential layoffs of American meat inspectors CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — U.S. farmers and agribusiness companies are worried that federal budget cuts will snarl the supply channels for everything from milk and broiler chickens to grain shipments. However, many hope that the Barack Obama administration and Republican party opponents will find a compromise before major disruptions hit the food system. Most immediate concerns centre on federal meat inspectors at U.S. meat plants, who must be present by law for animal slaughter and meat processing to take place. U.S. agriculture secretary Tom Vilsack said the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s meat safety agency would have to lay off its 8,400 inspectors for 11 to 12 days to compile the savings required under the so-called sequestration or automatic federal budget cuts. There are also concerns about grain inspection at ports and key jobs in transportation, such as the Army Corps of Engineers, which operates hundreds of river locks and dams for grain barge traffic. Given the importance of the U.S. food system, food exports regularly post a huge trade surplus and food inflation is a key bellwether for government policymakers. Agribusiness executives and officials said they expected the government to think carefully to minimize disruptions to food supplies. “Even in the scenarios being discussed in the press, inspector services would not be affected for a few months,” said Thomas Super, vicepresident of communications at the National Chicken Council, referring to USDA meat inspectors at broiler packing plants. “Because sequestration cuts must be spread over the next seven months, opportunity remains to resolve the budget crisis before inspectors are furloughed,” he said. Super said NCC and about 40 other meat, poultry, food and grocery manufacturing and restaurant associations sent a letter to Vilsack underscoring their concerns about furloughing of USDA food safety inspectors due to the sequester cuts that went into process March 1. USDA says no furlough notices have been issued to meat inspectors or any USDA department, but Vilsack told the U.S. House agriculture committee March 5 that the agency will send furlough notices to meat inspectors soon, although it will be “several months” before they occur. Dave Warner, a spokesperson for the National Pork Producers Association, said: “Meat inspection should be maintained to protect the public health by ensuring the safety of the U.S. meat supply. Should inspectors be furloughed, that action would have a huge negative impact on hog farmers, meat packers and processors, food retailers and restaurants and consumers.” By law, slaughterhouse activities cannot proceed without USDAemployed inspectors on hand. A mass layoff of inspectors would shut down nearly 6,300 meat packing and processing facilities because companies cannot ship meat that lacks the USDA inspection seal. The White House estimates the

industry would lose $10 billion US in production with just a two-week shutdown. Retail and wholesale meat prices would be expected to rise. “Because meat inspection has historically been considered essential by the federal government, we’re optimistic there will be no interruption in this public health and safety function. We do not expect any immediate impact on our business,” said spokesperson Gary Mickelson of Tyson Foods, the largest U.S. meatpacker.

USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service, which generates prices used as benchmarks for livestock futures at the CME Group Inc., and essential agribusiness needs like the federal grain inspection service are also at risk of slowdowns or shutdowns. “I don’t believe it’s going to be an issue because there are a lot of ways within USDA to cut the budget without having to furlough meat inspectors,” said Dan Norcini, a livestock futures trader at CME. “All of these fears are overblown and quite frankly

I don’t put any stock in any of that talk.” U.S. grain export associations, details on government’s furlough plans, have been mostly silent so far on how grain inspections and export trade would be affected. But federal government workers are everywhere in the food chain, from operations of locks and dams on U.S. rivers to oversight of rail shipments to quality control of food imports for contamination from pesticides and other chemicals. Randy Gordon, president of the National Grain and Feed Associa-

tion, said his group, which includes hundreds of grain handlers, was confident that grain inspections at U.S. g a t e w a y p o r t s i n c l u d i n g Ne w Orleans or Portland, Oregon, would have business as usual. “Our understanding is that sequestration’s impact on daily official grain inspection and weighing services performed by USDA’s Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration will be minimal, as these services are financed almost exclusively through industry-paid user fees,” Gordon said.

AMERICAN FEDERAL RESERVE | ECONOMY

Agriculture may be victim in U.S. plan to boost economy Agriculture linked to housing, energy market | Federal Reserve policies send land and cattle feed prices up BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

TAMPA, Fla. — Economist Michael Swanson has a riddle he likes to ask: how does someone become a millionaire in Iowa? The answer: sell 80 acres of farmland. Swanson said agriculture is caught in the crossfire of U.S. government policy that attempts to relieve unemployment, buoy up the housing market and maintain the ethanol industry, which relies on corn. “The economy is a mixed up mess

all the time. Sometimes it is healthy and sometimes it is hurting you,” he said during the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association’s annual convention held in Tampa Feb. 5-9. Swanson, who works for the Wells Fargo bank, questions whether the Federal Reserve policies of low interest rates and continued government debt are sustainable. “I think they are trying to re-inflate the price of housing,” he said. Americans had $6 trillion in home owners’ equity in January 2000, which is the value of the house, less the debt. It had increased to $13 tril-

lion by 2005 but plummeted after the 2008 recession and is now $7.7 trillion. Farm and ranch land was worth $1 trillion in 2000 and has since increased to $2.2 trillion. “The Federal Reserve is trying to re-inflate the value of homes so it can get people out from underneath their mortgages, but are you going to create more problems along the way?” he said. “The agriculture sector is going to be collateral damage to this policy, but there are a lot more voters who own homes than ranch ground.”

He said government policy has also linked agriculture to the energy sector by passing a renewable fuels standard that forces a portion of gasoline to contain biofuel. Corn demand soared after the standard was put in place and prices increased, but the livestock industry shuddered when corn surpassed $7 a bushel. “Cattle people don’t always love e t ha n o l p o l i c y b e c au s e i t ha s changed the way the game was played,” he said. However, corn growers like it because they receive the benefits of high grain prices.

Nevertheless, agriculture, energy and manufacturing are all interconnected and are able to grow and strengthen the U.S. economy. Swanson said energy is a mature industry that has surprised many with its 20 percent year over year growth in recent years. Domestic drilling has increased and less oil is imported. The U.S. has traditionally imported 12 million barrels per day, but that has dropped to less than eight million barrels. It is also exporting about one million barrels of refined product for the first time.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (Reuters) — The chair of the Senate finance committee has warned he will not support a proposed free trade agreement between the United States and the European Union unless it tears down barriers that block U.S. farm exports. Senator Max Baucus, a Montana Democrat, wrote in the Financial Times that he would support a deal only if it “gives American producers the opportunity to compete in the world’s biggest market.” With the U.S.-EU trade talks expected to begin by June, Baucus also urged president Barack Obama, a fellow Democrat, to replace outgoing U.S. trade representative Ron Kirk with an experienced leader who has “proved mastery of the details of trade negotiations.” Baucus aides did not reply to a request for more details, including whether he had intended to discourage Obama from picking acting White House budget director Jeffrey Zients, who some see as a top candidate for USTR even though he does not have a trade background. U.S. farm groups, in a letter to the U.S. Trade Representative’s office, also underscored their insistence that the proposed U.S.-EU agreement “cover all significant barriers in a single comprehensive agreement.” The 64 groups said they objected to the idea contained in a U.S.-EU working group report that the pact could “evolve over time” by eliminating most barriers to trade and investment and setting up a mechanism to address more contentious issues. Obama announced plans to negotiate a free trade agreement with the European Union last month in his annual State of the Union speech, following more than a year of preliminary talks between the two sides. Formal negotiations are expected to begin by June.

HORSES | CONTROVERSY

U.S. groups oppose horse slaughter plant plan Horse meat exports get green light | Congress lifts ban on horse slaughter, prompting outrage from animal rights groups REUTERS — Animal rights groups are threatening to sue the United States government if officials move ahead with plans to allow meat-packing companies to resume the slaughter of horses for human consumption, a practice that was banned in 2006. “It’s a big fight,” said Wayne Pacelle, president of the Humane Society of the United States. “We will sue if we have to. We’re also working with Congress to stop this.” Congress lifted a 2006 ban in the fiscal 2012 appropriations act and since then several companies have asked for government inspections that would allow them to start slaughtering horses, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Without new action by Congress, the department must allow slaughterhouse inspections to proceed, USDA said. Though horse meat cannot be sold in the U.S. for human consumption, it could exported. Indeed, USDA notified Valley Meat Co. of Roswell, New Mexico, last week that the company’s application for inspections would be approved after an extended delay, according to Valley Meat owner Ricardo De Los Santos. Valley Meat filed suit against the USDA for delaying the process after it shut down beef operations and retrofitted its plant to allow for horse slaughter, said De Los Santos. The company slaughtered cattle for two decades but closed that business down as drought and poor market conditions eroded profits, said De Los Santos. With about 130,000 horses estimated to be shipped out of the United States annually to slaughterhouses in Canada and Mexico, horse slaughtering seems like a viable market, he said. “We’ve always killed cows. But business has slowed down and we’re looking at things we can do to keep operating,” said De Los Santos. Critics of the horse slaughter ban contend that shipping live horses to foreign countries for slaughter is less humane than having domestic slaughter plants because the animals have to travel long distances in trucks or ships. The last U.S. plants to slaughter horses for human consumption were shut in 2007, after Congress banned the USDA from funding the required inspections of the plants. That measure was renewed every year until 2011. Canada continues to slaughter horses and exports about 20,000 tonnes each year. Horse meat is sold for human consumption in China, Russia, Mexico and other foreign countries, and is sometimes used as feed for zoo animals. A scandal continues to roll in Europe after testing in Ireland in January found that some products marketed as beef contained equine DNA.

We’ve always killed cows. But business has slowed down and we’re looking at things we can do to keep operating. RICARDO DE LOS SANTOS VALLEY MEAT CO.

The contamination has since been found in Taco Bell products, as well as spaghetti Bolognese and beef lasagna, according to British regulators, in the meatballs sold by Sweden’s IKEA furniture superstore in much of Europe, and in other outlets. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), Front Range Equine Rescue and Animal Protection of New Mexico joined the Humane Society in saying they would try to beat back the decision to process inspection applications for horse slaughter.

USDA faced criticism in 2012 when plans were announced for a horse slaughter plant in Rockville, Missouri. Those plans have been put on hold. De Los Santos, though, said he has been forced to lay off his 40 employees awaiting government action since Valley Meat filed its application more than 18 months ago. He has been fielding threatening phone calls and an onslaught of insults after word got out about his plans. “They call and tell me, ‘I’m a murderer, I have blood on my hands.’ ”

WORLD IN BRIEF MARKETS

Ukraine may lift wheat export restriction KIEV, Ukraine (Reuters) — Ukraine will decide next month whether to lift restrictions on wheat exports that were imposed after a poor harvest last year, agriculture minister Mykola Prysyazhnyuk said. The ministry has capped exports at 6.3 million tonnes in the current season, which runs to June 2013. “We could discuss the issue around April 10,” Prysyazhnyuk told reporters when asked about the government’s plans to review the restrictions. He said the ministry’s decision will depend on the condition of the winter wheat crop, which accounts for

more than 95 percent of Ukraine’s total wheat output. DEVELOPMENT

China plans trillion dollar growth BEIJING, China (Reuters) — China’s planned urbanization drive will be the main engine of growth for domestic economic activity in the years ahead, giving the government scope to boost domestic demand and infrastructure investment, a senior planning official said. China plans to spend $6.4 trillion to bring 400 million people to cities over the next decade as the government tries to turn the country into a wealthy world power with economic growth generated by an affluent consumer class.

“Urbanization is the biggest potential force driving China’s domestic demand in the years ahead,” Zhang Ping, head of the National Development and Reform Commission, China’s top economic planning agency, told reporters. Guidelines for urbanization would be launched during the first half of this year, Zhang told a news conference on the sidelines of the annual meeting of the National People’s Congress, China’s parliament.

INVESTMENT

Farmland attracting new investors LONDON, U.K. (Reuters) — Major asset managers, cowed by the

cost, the risk and the controversy involved in investing in farmland, are joining forces to increase investment in the historically under-capitalized sector. In one example, Adveq of Switzerland is in talks with three European pension funds, a private family and a South Korean asset manager to

buy farmland, in which it will act as the originator and lead investor. Last year one of the world’s largest institutional investors, TIAA-CREF, partnered with pension funds including British Colombia Investment Management Corp. and AP2 to create a $2 billion investment vehicle to buy farmland. The new approach is likely to attract significant amounts of money from pension funds and other institutional investors into farmland, a sector in which they are reluctant to go it alone. “We see agriculture and farmland as an asset class that’s still being shaped,” said Biff Ourso, director and portfolio manager of farmland investments at U.S. asset manager TIAA-CREF. “It (working together) creates alignment for investors, economies of scale, cost-sharing and the transparency that a lot of investors want today,” he added. EDIBLE OIL

Palm oil price plummets KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (Reuters) — Palm oil prices could drop further this year due to swelling supplies of competing commodities such as oilseeds, while high stocks in the world’s top consumers and producers of the tropical oil will also drag. Prices of palm oil plummeted 23 percent last year largely because of supply stockpiling in major producers Indonesia and Malaysia, and traders and analysts at a conference in Kuala Lumpur said they could fall further when global oilseed supply kicks into high gear later this year. “In 2013 post-September, we see big supplies of soybeans, sunflower seeds and even of palm oil, which will be entering a new high cycle. We have also begun the oil year with the heaviest carry-over stocks in history,” leading industry analyst Dorab Mistry said at the meeting. Indonesia, the world’s top palm oil producer, does not publish official data on inventory levels, but they were estimated at five million tonnes in January, while No. 2 producer Malaysia started 2013 with record stocks of 2.63 million tonnes. “Therefore the outlook further forward, given normal weather, is bearish,” continued Mistry, who is also the director of Indian conglomerate Godrej International Ltd.

AUSTRALIAN EXPORTS | CHINA DEMAND

China’s hunger for beef boosts Australian exports Chinese want more protein | Exports to China may hit 50,000 tonnes, compared to 6,000 last year beef, meaning while sales are rising sharply, returns are not going up as fast. According to ABARES, Australian beef exports during the 2013-14 marketing year will rise 2.5 percent to one million tonnes from the previous season’s total of 975,000 tonnes and continue rising over the next five years to a peak of 1.04 million tonnes. However, the real value of cattle exports will remain flat in the 2013-14 season at $4.6 billion Aus and will fall consistently over the next five years.

ABARES’ Morris said that while Australia would have little trouble in selling beef, maximizing returns was the challenge. “We aren’t particularly limited by markets, it’s more limiting in terms of the value of those markets,” Morris said. Australia is also facing stiff competition from the United States in the South Korean market. Exports to South Korea, Australia’s third-largest market, should continue to rise over the next five years, ABARES said, but at a much slower pace, warn-

ing the market was extremely competitive, with increased production from India especially. However, the outlook could darken if the two countries fail to break a deadlock in trade talks. Speaking in Canberra, Craig Emerson, minister for trade, said talks to secure a free trade agreement remain ongoing, having rejected Seoul’s first proposal. From Jan. 1, 2012, the United States has had a 5.3 percent tariff advantage over Australia beef under the Korea-United States Free Trade

Agreement. This tariff differential widens by a further 2.66 percent each year. Emerson said he remains hopeful that a deal would be reached soon, but was forced to reject Korea’s first proposal because it offered the United States such a competitive advantage. However, ABARES said that with the expansion of U.S. exports, there was more room for Australia to sell beef to North America, cementing the market as Australia’s top export market.

CANBERRA, Australia (Reuters) — Australian beef sales to China are set to surge more than eightfold this year, providing a boost for farmers in the world’s third-biggest exporter struggling with tougher U.S. competition in traditional markets such as Japan. Chinese demand for beef is growing as the diet of wealthier consumers changes to include more protein. But production has lagged domestically, where pork tends to be more profitable, boosting the outlook for overseas beef suppliers such as Australian Agricultural Company Ltd. and Nippon Meat Packers’ Australian unit. China will become Australia’s fourth-largest beef export market in the year to June 30, 2013, with imports jumping to about 50,000 tonnes from about 6,000 tonnes a year ago, data from government research group the Australian Bureau of Resource Economics and Sciences (ABARES) showed. Australian beef exports were already on the rise before a ban on imports from rival Brazil, and the longer-term demand outlook was encouraging, analysts said. “In the last six months there has been a bigger jump in China’s beef imports from Australia because China blocked beef imports from Brazil due to mad cow disease (BSE),” said Jean Yves Chow, a senior livestock analyst at Rabobank in Hong Kong. “China doesn’t buy from the U.S. because of the same issue as Brazil, so you don’t have many options but to buy from Australia. At the same time China’s demand continues to increase.” China, the world’s third-largest beef producer, is likely to see output rise marginally to 5.58 million tonnes in 2013 from 5.54 million tonnes last year, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. While the spike in Chinese sales might at first appear a boon for Australian beef producers, enthusiasm is tempered by the loss of higher value exports to Japan. Australian beef exports to Japan, Australia’s second-largest market, are expected to fall five percent in the 2013-14 season to 290,000 tonnes after dropping six percent this year, ABARES said, reflecting increased competition from the United States and a stronger local dollar. Japan eased restrictions on U.S. cattle on Feb. 1, allowing the imports of slaughtered cattle up to 30 months old, having previously allowed cattle up to 20 months old entry into the market from 2005 onwards following an outbreak of BSE in 2003. The easing of restrictions means up to 90 percent of all U.S. cattle are eligible for export to Japan, ABARES said, checking Australia’s dominance. “We’ve had this artificial advantage into Japan for quite some time now, and it’s going back to historical levels,” said Paul Morris, executive director of ABARES. “That means our farmers will have to look to other markets like China and Vietnam.” Markets such as China are dominated by sales of lower value frozen

John Heard, a soil fertility specialist with Manitoba Agriculture, has been calling for years for on-farm agronomic research in the province. His dream became reality last year when the Manitoba Pulse Growers Association initiated a farmer research network. Ten soybean growers in eastern Manitoba set up strip trials across their fields to assess how lower seeding rates affect yield. Each producer reduced their normal seeding rates by 30,000 seeds per acre on six halfmile strips. Ron Tone, an agricultural consultant in St. Pierre, Man., sorted through the data and determined a lower seeding rate had a minimal impact on yields. “We found a .6 bushel increase at the higher rate … on the average,” said Tone, who co-ordinated the research for the MPGA. “Some trials showed higher and some showed a negative response to higher (seeding rates).” Reducing the seeding rate by 30,000 seeds represents a cost saving of $11 to $15 per acre, Tone said. A 0.6 bu. increase represents about $8 per acre, assuming a price of $14 per bu. Therefore, farmers would earn $3 to $7 more per acre if they cut their seeding rate by 30,000 seeds. The MPGA plans to replicate the

trials on 10 soybean fields in 2013 and 2014, but Tone said the initial results demonstrate that an on-farm research network can provide answers to pervasive agronomic questions. “I’ve always wanted to do something like this with (Manitoba) farmers,” said Tone, a certified crop adviser. He modelled the soybean on-farm network after the Iowa Soybean Association, which uses yield monitors and GPS to assess the value of alternative growing practices. As an example of how on-farm research can work in Manitoba, Tone said soybean growers often use granular inoculants in the row and treat their seed with inoculant. A group of soybean growers could easily run strip trials on their land to determine if a single inoculant is sufficient. “Maybe just (use) the seed inoculant to see if there’s a (yield) difference,” Tone said. Heard said he has lobbied for an on-farm research network in the

province for years. The Iowa model proves growers can find answers to agronomic questions on their own, he added. “I’ve been frustrated that (with) all these farmer questions … that we don’t have a disciplined and organized on-farm testing network of farmers,” he told a special crops production day in Brandon March 6. “I come from Ontario, where there’s an Ontario Soil Crop Improvement Association, where we always coordinated tests done on-farm.” A network of farmers performing a trial is statistically and scientifically more powerful than one producer conducting a strip trial on his farm, he said. Heard, who discussed American research during a presentation in Brandon about soil compaction, said he would have rather presented subsoiling data from Manitoba farms. “I would love to stand up … and show people their own results,” he said. “If farmers here had evaluated it, like the Iowa farmers … and (we) had a central repository to report the results … we wouldn’t be asking this question (about subsoiling) all the time.” Michael Reimer, MPGA’s acting executive director, said the program could potentially fill a research void. “ Yo u s t i l l n e e d t hat p r i m a r y research that’s done by universities and government … but it’s a nice complement to that.”

All-In Crushing and Recycling drains fluids, removes tires and squashes vehicles into an unrecognizable bundle. | BARB GLEN PHOTOS SCRAP METAL | BUSINESS

Pair mixes work and play while recycling machinery Mobile crusher | Co-owners draw interest from remote areas BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

He calls it anger management. “I’m the happiest guy around,” asserts Wayne Dick, co-owner of AllIn Crushing and Recycling, as he cheerfully prepares to squash another truck in a heavy-duty compaction machine. He isn’t sure why people like to see things crushed, but they do. His mobile unit draws a crowd and elicits cheers from those who watch cars, trucks and all manner of farm machinery squashed into blocks. Dick and co-owner Mike Hildebrand operate two mobile crushing units that they take to farms in Western Canada. With 159 tons of compression, the crushers make short work of old combines, sprayers, cultivators and other vehicles. Combines? “We make them into sausages,” says Dick. Big old machinery? “We make it fit,” says Dick. Danger? “I had a sprayer come out and attack me once. I crushed it with a vengeance after that.” The Lethbridge-based business has been popular among farmers since it started operations 18 months ago. Many farms have graveyards of old steel machinery that isn’t worth the cost of hauling it to a scrap yard. Dick says All-In pays farmers at least $25 per ton for the steel, and more depending on the units being compressed. He and Hildebrand will take their units anywhere that they can find at least 100 tons of material to squash. Usually once word gets around, a 100-ton job turns into many other smaller jobs as nearby farmers take advantage of the service. “We are paying them to clean up their yard,” Dick says. “When we are gone, you can farm it.” One mobile unit spent several

months in the Foremost and Etzikom areas of southeastern Alberta last year, crushing moribund farm equipment. It’s not that those areas have more scrap than others, says Dick. They are just more remote, so it would be more expensive for farmers to haul old machinery to a scrap yard.

WAYNE DICK ALL-IN CRUSHING AND RECYCLING

“One yard east of Milk River had over 500 tons of stuff. ” All-In’s display and crushing demonstration at Ag Expo in Lethbridge March 1 drew crowds and cheers as vehicles were lifted, placed in the compactor, stabbed with front-end loader forks and crushed into six-ton metal bundles. Glass flew out, along with decorative exterior vehicle pieces, but oil, gasoline and other liquids are drained before compaction. The company uses old oil from its metal subjects to heat its shop. Any gas left in the old cars bought at auction — what Dick calls “fresh kills” — is used in All-In’s vehicles. Spring-loaded cultivator shanks have proven to be a compaction hazard, and more than one windshield has had to be replaced in the front-end loader due to projectile debris. But it’s all in a day’s work, says Dick. Just about any equipment can be reduced to a fairly neat block, but Dick says he hesitated once last year when an Avro Anson training bomber airplane was offered up. “I couldn’t,” he says. He offered the plane to an air museum in Nanton, Alta., but it already

REAL Results! “We’ve used Awaken ST on our wheat for the past two years. We heard good things about it, so we put it in side-by-side trials on our farm. We saw an increase in yield by four bushels per acre with Awaken ST. It definitely paid for itself in a hurry. “We also noticed quicker emergence and the plant count was significantly higher in our wheat treated with Awaken ST than without. There were about three or four more plants per square foot. “Awaken ST is a good product. It definitely helps. For anyone who hasn’t used it before, I would recommend trying a couple jugs. Put it on a few acres and see the results for yourself. Especially if the season is cold and conditions aren’t ideal for germination. Awaken will give your crop the extra boost it needs and you will see a huge increase. “We will definitely be using Awaken ST again next year.”

ALBERTA BEEF INDUSTRY CONFERENCE | INTERNATIONAL TRADE

New Zealand pushing for reduced trade tariffs Trans Pacific Partnership | Country seeks ‘regulatory coherence’ STORIES BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

BANFF, Alta. — More than 25 years of working in the open market has turned New Zealand into an aggressive marketer that is pressuring for even greater access for its farm products. It is also leading the charge for zero tariffs among potential members of the Trans Pacific Partnership. “It is going to be a high quality agreement, and subsidies and tariffs would be driven down to zero and non tariff barriers would be a dream,” Alistair Polson, New Zealand’s special agricultural trade envoy, said at the Alberta Beef Industry Conference held in Banff Feb. 20-22. “We are looking for regulatory coherence.” Accepting other countries’ inspection services and standards could ease the cost of doing business, he added. The New Zealand government was approaching bankruptcy in the early 1980s, and one of its austerity decisions was to quickly end agricultural subsidies. “Overnight those price supports were removed from farmers,” Polson said. All supports were gone within five years, and he said farm productivity improved under the new system.

Agriculture is 18 percent of the country’s gross domestic product a n d prov i d e s 1 2 p e rce nt o f i ts employment. About 85 percent of agriculture products are exported to 150 countries, and although some industries are small by world standards, New Zealand is powerful. Its dairy sector makes up three percent of world production, but it has cornered 33 percent of world trade. Beef has one percent of production but eight percent of the world market. It was once the number one exporter of sheep meat, but producers shifted to dairy because it was more profitable. The country has 11,600 dairy farms with an average of 375 cows on 320 acres. They produce 120,000 kilograms of milk solids a year. Most farms are owner operated and the dairy co-operative Fonterra, which has been in business since 1871, handles 89 percent of the milk. Policy analyst Al Mussel of the George Morris Centre said supply management in Canada was a policy response to economic hardship, but it is turning into a divisive argument. “It is either an inefficient system and get rid of it right away, or protect it at all costs because it is perfect. I don’t think either one of those is quite correct.” He said Canada suffered from

chronic low prices and seasonal surplus fluid milk before supply management was formed 40 years ago. The government spent more than $100 million a year to buy surplus butter and skim milk powder in the late 1960s. Supply management created high, stable milk prices, controlled production and lowered costs to government. It has also carried heavy implicit costs. Strains on milk supply management resulted in slow market growth, a worsening dairy trade deficit, cumbersome high price formulas and inefficient milk allocation among the provinces, he said. Quota prices have increased dramatically, approaching $39,000 in Alberta in February. Mussel also said the import tariff of more than 200 percent is becoming less effective in keeping out imports. The program can be reformed and some provinces are already pursuing this. “There are major opportunities legally to cut costs from the operations of this system,” he said.

ALBERTA BEEF INDUSTRY CONFERENCE | FOOD WASTE

Frugality key to reducing waste BANFF, Alta. — Every person in Canada and the United States tosses out 1,400 calories a day. Animal scientist Brad Morgan, head of Zoetis’s food safety division, told the Alberta Beef Industry Conference held in Banff Feb. 20-22 that food waste is nothing new. However, changes are needed if the world hopes to feed another three billion people by 2050. “We need more technology, but we also need to be more frugal.” He said 1.3 billion tonnes of food are wasted each year. Food is regularly thrown out at home as well as at grocery stores and restaurants because it was left on the plate, had blemishes or had gone bad. Produce is often left in the field because its size was inconsistent or had other flaws. Twelve percent of meat, half the leafy vegetables and one-third of bread and vegetables are discarded. “We take things for granted when it comes to food,” Morgan said. North Americans are more blasé about throwing out food because it is relatively cheap, he added. “We are spoiled rotten consumers. They don’t understand many of the things it takes to produce a product and put it on a supermarket shelf on a pretty economical basis.” Americans use 7.5 percent of their disposable income to buy food while

Canadians spend eight to nine percent and consumers in Europe and Asia spend 25 to 38 percent. Morgan said the world already produces enough food to feed its current population and the expected growth of an extra three billion by 2050. “We just need to try and curb the waste,” he said. Morgan said corporations are looking for ways to slow the waste. For example, they use radio frequency identification to track food and reduce spoilage, improve quality and address traceability requirements. This has reduced 15 percent of food waste in Walmart stores, he added. He said consumers often buy too much because it is on sale. Tesco’s, a supermarket chain in the United Kingdom, offers coupons when it has buy one and get one free deals. It causes less waste and people are likely to return to shop at the store. Morgan said 300 American universities have eliminated trays from their cafeterias and food service outlets. Students receive a plate of food rather than dishing up themselves, which can encourage them to take too much. “It saves about 6,000 pounds of solid waste a week and less energy and cuts down on the cleaning supplies,” Morgan said.

Hay from Western Canada will continue to move east under the HayEast 2012 initiative even though government transportation assistance has expired. Aj Thakker of the Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan said the campaign will continue with money from private donations. “They’re going to need hay in Ontario until June,” he said. Drought in Ontario and parts of Quebec devastated crops, hay and pastures last summer, and HayEast was set up in response. Eastern farmers helped their western counterparts 10 years earlier through HayWest. Thakker said more than 200 loads have helped 360 livestock producers so far. Money in the bank will help send another 50 or 60 trucks, he said,

but the amount will be nowhere close to what is needed. In November, the federal and Ontario governments announced a shared $500,000 cash contribution for transport. They also said they would match cash donations to a maximum of $2.5 million. That program expired Feb. 28. The final accounting for that assistance isn’t complete. But Thakker said thanks to the generosity of trucking companies, organizers were able to stretch their dollars. “Truckers were donating about 40 to 45 percent of the cost of the load back to us,” he said. An Edmonton-to-Toronto backhaul costs about $7,000 but HayEast could get a rate of perhaps $3,800, he said. The difference was considered a donation and should be matched through the government program. Ontario’s agriculture ministry is

handling the accounting for the program. Any hay moving through HayEast after Feb. 28 is still likely to receive the freight discount from the trucking company but isn’t eligible for the matching funds. “We’ll move as much hay as we can find,” Thakker added. Farmers in the most affected areas are eligible to receive help through AgriRecovery. However, Thakker said program restrictions meant dairy farmers and horse owners were excluded. Many beef producers have also found that limits on how far away they could source feed have excluded them from any help, he said. Efforts to work with AgriRecovery to use HayEast’s trucking to get feed within the allowed distance and then let the farmer pay freight — and be eligible for AgriRecovery — were unsuccessful, Thakker said.

GRAINWORLD | TRADING

CWB may have to consider changes Pooling programs | Organization will have to adopt a new model, says trader BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

The grain industry is closely watching CWB’s attempt to keep pooling programs operating in a postmonopoly environment. And some are skeptical they will survive. “I think they’re going to have a very difficult time buying barley in a pool system,” Pat Rowan of BARI Canada said during a panel discussion at Grainworld. “I think the board’s going to have a difficult time remaining in the barley industry.” Rowan said malt barley is now trading and contracted at flat prices, and many farmers won’t want to pool their grain and leave the price uncertain for many months. Grain trader Doug Hilderman of NorAg Resources said price uncer-

tainty will make pooling unattractive for any crops now that firm pricing of former board grain is easy to achieve. “In my opinion, in an open market, the whole pooling concept is dead,” said Hilderman, who has operated in the prairie, Ontario and Quebec grain markets for a number of grain companies. He compared pooling to insurance, in which most people pay to cover

the losses of those who are unfortunate. Prairie farmers close to multiple buyers won’t feel they need that insurance, he said. “The producer in southern Alberta, southern Saskatchewan, the Red River Valley, they’re gong to exit the pool,” said Hilderman. “The only people who are going to sign up in the pool are people who are disadvantaged.” He said that won’t bring good returns to those who remain in the pool. “It only works if everybody’s in.” Hilderman said CWB can “survive and thrive” in an open market, as his company is doing, but it won’t be business as usual. “It’s going to be a completely different operation,” he said. “It’s really going to be a grain trading operation.”

MARKETING BOOK FOR PULSE AND SPECIALTY CROPS Pulse and specialty crop producers have a new book to help with marketing strategies. The 20-Month Year: The Farmer’s Perspective has been compiled by Brian Clancey of STAT Publishing. His book covers the main classes of lentils and beans, as well as peas, chickpeas, three types of mustard, and birdseed. When is demand hottest? Are today’s prices any good? Is waiting until next season riskier than selling now? The book is designed to answer these and other common questions. While Canada is the world’s largest exporter of lentils, field peas, mustard and canaryseed, the U.S. is a bigger dry edible bean exporter than Canada. Australia is the largest chickpea exporter. Growers from all three nations will find value in the book. The 216 page publication contains dozens of charts showing historical prices and off-farm movement for specific crops. The book is designed to be a reference for pulse and specialty crop producers who want to improve their marketing. The book can be ordered at www.20monthyear.com.

LIVESTOCK | MANAGEMENT

Ranch focuses on good stewardship Two Rivers Ranch | Operators of 17,000 acre operation make good stewardship and water management a priority BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

TAMPA, Fla. — Two Rivers Ranch is a living laboratory for grass and water management in central Florida. “We see our role not in the pounds of beef but in what good stewards we can be with private ownership,” said ranch owner Robert Thomas. Purchased for 10 cents an acre in 1932 by entrepreneur Wayne Thomas, the ranch has grown to 17,000 acres on two sites, 51 kilometres apart, and stretches across three counties. Raising cattle in this subtropical environment is a challenge, whether it is growing grass in fine white sand or coping with drought and floods in the same year. The ranch owners are further tested as they try to maintain a large agricultural operation 20 minutes from downtown Tampa. “If we draw a one hour circle around where we are right now, there are seven million people in that circle,” said Thomas, whose grandfather bought the original property. Today he operates the place with his sisters and son, Wayne. “This is the epicentre of the urbanrural interface battle right here at Two Rivers Ranch,” he told a tour group from the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association in early February. “Our problem is where our rural lifestyle is butting up against a highly intense urban lifestyle.” The ranch raises crossbred cattle, timber and oranges and sells hunting leases for white-tailed deer, feral hogs and the Osceola turkey, a subspecies of wild turkey. In 1989, the ranch signed a deal with a water bottling company to produce Zephyrhills Spring Water, sold throughout the state. “Thirty years ago, nobody would have dreamed anybody would drink water from a bottle,” he said. The water comes from deep springs that release 30 million gallons daily into the Hillsborough River. The river source is at the ranch and is a main water supply for Tampa. The family built an education centre near the river called Crystal Springs Preserve to promote water and land conservation. About 50,000 schoolchildren visit each year to learn about environmental appreciation and management. Besides grass and water improvements, they also increased water fowl and wildlife habitat and received numerous awards, including recognition from the National Audubon Society for work in restoring wetlands. Protecting the water and growing more grass are the primary focuses of their operation. “We can do everything right, but if we don’t have the water we don’t have the grass,” said Thomas. The ranch averages 1,450 millimetres of rain per year, but it has been either flood or drought in recent years. Parts of the ranch are knee deep in water when it floods. Cattle graze the entire ranch, which includes forest and swamps as well as native and improved pastures.

Cattle are not allowed into the orange groves. They are provided with loose salt and eat three times as much salt in the hot summer months as they consume in winter. Mineral blocks with trace minerals are also offered. The supplements are formulated for this area so that they receive more vitamin A and copper. About four acres per cow unit are allowed on fertilized, improved pasture. The family has large tracts of Bermuda grass and also plants rye for winter feed. Stocking density can be three to 10 acres depending on grass and water availability.

Our problem is where our rural lifestyle is butting up against a highly intense urban lifestyle. ROBERT THOMAS TWO RIVERS RANCH

Pastures are periodically disced for aeration because the land can become root bound. “If you start seeing weeds, it is time to tear it up,” said ranch manager Johnny McCarthy. The cattle are typically Hereford and Red Angus with some Brahman influence so that they can adapt to the subtropical climate of heat, humidity and insects. Insects are a problem, and treatments are offered three times a year: injectable tick control in July, drenches in October and dewormers and pour on treatments later. Bulls are turned out with the heifers Feb. 15 and the cows a month later. The ranch has a 100 day calving season that starts before Christmas. The cows are moderate sized, weighing 1,100 to 1,150 pounds. They wean 600 lb. calves. There are no feedlots or processing facilities so calves are shipped west to Texas and Kansas in 50,000 lb. loads. All the cattle have source and age verification. The family has other business interests, including mining, a deep water port and residential development interests, but the intent is to preserve this property for agricultural production. “Our profit in Florida is mainly driven by the conversion of agricultural space into mixed use and residential communities so over the years we have developed property and sold land for development,” Thomas said. Another concern for this multigenerational ranch is dealing with farm succession and the federal estate tax. “The biggest convertor into agricultural land for other uses has been the death tax,” he said. Families are often forced to sell land to pay the inheritance taxes after a principle owner dies. “The success of our ranch to continue inter-generationally is how well we deal with that issue,” he said.

FOR CASE AIM COMMAND & SHARP SHOOTER • Reduced Drift • Uniform Droplet Size for Improved Coverage

90% LESS DRIFT, LESS RUN OFF, SUPERIOR COVERAGE The Air Bubble Jet consistently produces droplets that are 200-550 microns in size. Too big to drift - too small to run off. Drift occurs when droplets are smaller than 200 microns. Standard sprayer nozzles drift because they produce droplets that are 50-300 micron in size with a large percentage under 200. With a droplet range of 200-550 microns, the Air Bubble Jet has 90% less drift than standard nozzles. Run off occurs with big droplets - 600 microns and over. Depending on the manufacturer, other low drift nozzles produce droplets that range in size from 250-1000 microns. That is why run off can be a problem. With a droplet size of 200-550 microns; your chemical stays on the plant when applied with the Air Bubble Jet. Bubble Jets have an operating pressure of 20-90 psi however the optimum pressure for drift control and coverage is 30-60 psi. Because of the uniform droplet size produced Bubble Jets can be used for herbicides, insecticides, fungicides on any crop that you would like as many droplets per square inch leaf coverage as possible without all the drift & run off of a conventional nozzle. How long do they last? On average 70,000 acres!

We also have AIR BUBBLE JETS for conventional sprayers that do all of the above and more!

The next generation C2 Contour lets you cut through trash and makes opener adjustments easier. The independent opener features parallel linkage for ultraprecise seed and fertilizer placement. Adjustable packing pressure lets you pull through damp spots. Opener spacing options are 10” and 12”.At the heart of the C2 Contour’s improved ability to shed trash is the design of the single shank. The reclined 12-degree angle moves trash up and off the shank faster. The distance from the ground level to the catch point has been increased to 21 inches on the C2 Contour, greatly reducing the potential for straw bunching.

TREES | MANAGEMENT

Investments in shelter belts yield long-term benefits Crop production | Benefits are greater than expenses, says specialist BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

COALDALE, Alta. — Shelter belts can increase crop yields, but patience is required. Toso Bozic, a woodlot specialist with Alberta Agriculture, calculates that a one-acre shelter belt with a 30-year lifespan costs $56 per year but can increase yields by 10 to 12 percent on the 15 acres that the shelter belt affects. Bozic, who believes shelter belts have economic benefits as well as other attributes, shared his economic calculations at a February workshop organized by the County of Lethbridge. He said a one-acre shelter belt with three rows of trees and shrubs costs a p p ro x i m a t e l y $ 1 , 7 0 0 , w h i c h includes estimates for site preparation, tree cost and shipping, planting, plastic mulch and herbicides but not fencing and water costs. T h e l o n g - t e r m y i e l d i m p a c t, according to his calculations and those of other researchers, varies according to distance from the shelter belt and the height of the trees. However, Bozic calculated that if a shelter belt increases yields by an average of 10 percent and if the average yield is 45 bushels per acre for wheat and 36 bu. per acre for canola, then an additional 67.5 bu. of wheat or 54 bu. of canola are possible on 15 acres for an increased crop value of $405 for wheat and $648 for canola. However, the shelter belt removes one acre from crop production, which means 45 fewer bu. of wheat and 36 bu. of canola. That results in a net benefit of $135 per year on a wheat crop and $216 for a canola crop, assuming the shelter belt is mature. Bozic said the benefits outweigh the cost when factored against the shelter belt cost of $55 per year. “Having that windbreak along the field is economically feasible. Over and over, it does make economic sense to have those windbreaks. The challenge is time, and some people simply don’t have time and patience to have those trees in the middle of the field to grow,” he said. “But you will make more money from having those trees.” Potentially higher crop yields are only one of the benefits, he added. Shelter belts also reduce soil erosion, control snow, provide wildlife habitat, increase biodiversity, offer niche products such as berries and have an additional esthetic value that can improve property values. Shelter belts also play a role in odour suppression, dust control and carbon capture, although the size of that role hasn’t been thoroughly studied. Bozic said there is little recent research on the economic value of shelter belts. The last major study was done in 1989, when average farm size was 450 acres, land values were lower and crop varieties were less robust.

“We haven’t even explored the impact of these trees on the landscape, on the viruses, bacterias, the whole ecosystem that has an impact on our crop production,” Bozic said in an interview before his presentation. He discounted the argument that shelter belts hinder large, modern farm equipment because GPS capability makes that a moot point. Cost is a better argument, but he questions

that as well. “If trees are the tipping point between profit and loss, don’t do it. But most of the time, it’s five acres or 10 acres, and really, in the grand scheme, (it) does not make any economic difference to their farm operation. “I think we have to look overall. (Shelter belts) do have a place in our agricultural production, and they do provide a much larger advantage than just how many bushels.”

While shelter belts remove land from crop production, their presence can result in a yield boost to surrounding fields. | FILE PHOTO

PERISTALTIC PUMPS

The peristaltic pump has a high level of accuracy and remains within its own tubing so it never contacts pump components.

EQUIPMENT | PUMPS

Peristaltic pumps: part meter, part pump, all reliable

These utilitarian, easily serviceable pumps have been used for decades by farmers for metering products such as fertilizer, as well as other caustic and abrasive products. They offer the ability to use a flexible poly tube as the compression chamber keeps the pumped liquid away from the mechanical side of the machine, avoiding contamination or damage caused by or to the product. This attribute is why the pump is probably best known for its use in transferring and circulating blood during heart bypass surgery.

The STORM computer is capable of retaining 15 different rate recipes for different crops. | RON LYSENG PHOTOS

Rollers squeeze the fluid through the tubes, allowing for precise and low disturbance pumping. The tubes return to their natural, open state after the roller passes, creating new space for product to be included into the system. The tubes can be easily and cheaply replaced as they show signs of wear. The pumps are not generally used for high pressure applications. The pump’s design was first patented in the U.S in 1881.

EQUIPMENT | SEED TREATMENT

Get the math right the first time Accurate seed treatment | Farmers can’t determine the correct rate unless seed volume is known STORIES BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

BRANDON — Determining volume is the biggest challenge when treating seed. There are three critical elements of seed treatment: seed rate, chemical volume and accurate application of fungicide. Bob Reekie, a consultant for Bayer Crop Sciences, said the rate must be adjusted constantly because of fluctuations in the density and volume of seed coming through the application machine. He said a new seed treating device, dubbed STORM for Seed Treatment Optimized Rate Metering, has solved that challenge. The system is the result of a partnership with Bayer, Westfield and Ag Growth International. The STORM computer allows the operator to pre-program the recipes for each combination of seed and chemical product. The computer adjusts the chemical rate as the seed volume changes.

STORM has been developed to provide farmers with a unit that precisely matches chemical rate to seed volume. | RON LYSENG PHOTO Reekie said each recipe is repeatable and easily selected. “If you’re working with precise volumes of seed and product, it

won’t do you any good unless you also have a pump that’s capable of precise liquid metering. We use a special peristaltic pump to ensure the rate is correct,” he said. “Now that we have accurate metering of both the seed and the chemical, we use a special computer program to marry the two factors together. That gives us total control. As the grain volume changes, the computer instantly matches the new information with new pump instructions so the rate is always accurate.” Reekie said measuring seed volume in real time requires a volumetric instrument that takes a fixed volume. The volume is compared to the grain density number, which is the bushel weight of the seed, provided by the farmer. The computer then converts seed data back to a pound measurement, which the computer uses to make the rate calculations. “That rate will be the application rate on the label. Plus, the computer knows the volume of seed.”

Equipped with those factors, the computer instructs the peristaltic pump to apply a certain rate as the seed passes by. This instruction can change instantly when there is variation in the density of seed on the conveyor. “Now you can set the conveyor to any speed and any seed volume you want, and the computer will automatically adjust the liquid to match the seed volume,” he said. The STORM is a prototype, but another dozen units are being built for in-field testing this spring by large volume seed dealers. Ten will go to Bayer customers and two will go to AGI customers. “When the commercial models go into production, they’ll be able to process from 10 bushels to 40 bu. per minute. That’s 2,400 bushels per hour,” he said. “The big limitation will be how quickly you can remove the wet, treated seed.” Reekie said production models should be ready for sale this fall. No price has been determined yet.

BRANDON — Saying that a pump is a pump is like saying that a horse is a horse. It’s not true, especially with pumps that come with high expectations. Peristaltic pumps probably come with the highest expectations in terms of accuracy, which is why Westfield chose them for its STORM seed treatment plant. According to a Westfield news release, peristaltic pumps provide precise metering and reduce contamination and maintenance because the chemical never touches the pump components. The product always remains within the delivery tubing. As well, the pump is reversible after each use so there is no chemical waste. The flexible tubing that contains the product passes through the pump housing. A main advantage of this system is that the product never touches the working parts of the pump, according to Bayer consultant Bob Reekie. “Alternating compression and relaxation of the flexible tube pushes the liquid towards its destination,” Reekie said. “The biggest advantage is that the pump accurately releases the correct volume of fluid with each pulsation.” An electric motor drives the pump. The r.p.m. of electric motors can be precisely regulated, giving the computer immediate and accurate control over the amount of product being applied. A rotating shoe at the working end of the electric motor shaft functions much like the lobes on a camshaft. It pushes liquid forward as it rolls into contact with the flexible hose and seals the hose behind so liquid won’t flow backward. Each pulse sends a specific amount of chemical to the applicator.

Module boosts horsepower the legal way Diesel performance | Increase is achieved without risking a fine for messing with emission controls STORIES BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

BRANDON — Farmers and truckers now have a legal way to boost power and improve fuel economy without altering the government mandated emission controls. Mike Munroe of Western Turbo and Fuel Injection said his company’s Agricultural Diesel Solutions module legally meets farmers’ n e e d s f o r b e t t e r p e r f o r ma n c e because it doesn’t change the map

or program in the engine control module. “It’s what we call a post-ECM device. It goes on top of the computer instead of getting inside the OEM computer,” he said. “It’s a piggy back. It enhances performance without changing the pre-existing program. If your system has certain limits for EGT (exhaust gas temperature) or coolant temperature, our system will not bypass those limits. It won’t change the timing.

“What we do is kind of cheat the computer. This allows us to do some things the manufacturer could have done, but didn’t. They just want to install programs that are broadly average for everybody.” He said Western Turbo has modules tailored for many situations. He emphasized that the modules are performance enhancing devices and not chips. “Boost is a direct function of horsepower,” he said. “If we convince the ECM to think

it’s not creating enough horsepower, it sets about to rectify the problem all by itself. It knows what to do. “Most installations take less than a minute. A typical install starts by unplugging the existing (wiring) harness from the sensor. Plug our module into that spot on the sensor. Then plug the original (wiring) harness into our module. Done. “Each module we sell is specific to a certain engine that will be working under certain conditions. It’s not a one size fits all deal.”

Western has modules for Agco, Versatile, Challenger, Case, John Deere, Massey-Ferguson, New Holland and JCB. The device is engineered to minimize the impact of voltage spikes and electromagnetic interference. The Agricultural Diesel Solution’s list price starts at $500 and can reach several thousands of dollars if it’s a complicated module.

Interest in modifications persists BRANDON — It’s no secret that diesel engines in combines, tractors and highway rigs have been receiving the backyard performance treatment for the past decade. Power and fuel economy of diesel engines built since late 2005 sometimes fall below owners’ expectations. However, the days of simply turning up the screw on the injector pump for more power are long gone. Independent shops, along with the owners of farm implements and highway tractors, have perfected the science of stripping emission systems, changing turbos, changing exhaust systems, removing sensors, installing new chips and performing some secrets they don’t discuss. But dealerships have since stopped modifying diesel emission systems because of possible legal repercussions. Some independent shops continue the practice, but they no longer flaunt the fact for fear the authorities will pay them a visit or create more restrictive regulations. Some independent shops have the expertise to risk removing the original equipment manufacturer’s engine control module and replacing it with a new program designed to work in a specific combine, tractor or semi, according to Mike Munroe of Western Turbo and Fuel Injection, which has introduced a module that accomplishes the same thing, legally. “It’s against the law to mess with the emission control system on a vehicle, so we don’t do it.” However, he said demand for aftermarket modifications has not diminished. “There’s still a huge demand for more power and better fuel economy in today’s latest diesels,” he said. “If you can put an extra $20 or $25 per working hour back into your bottom line by reducing fuel consumption, of course you’re interested.” Munroe said he has a customer who does custom spraying with the typical Cummins 59 common rail engine. He often worried when spraying all day that he might not have enough fuel to get home. “After he installed our module, he tells us there’s never a worry about running dry before he gets home.”

New single disc drill improves seed placement Double duty | The 500 air drill offers singulation, allowing canola growers to reduce seeding rates BY RON LYSENG AND MICHAEL RAINE WINNIPEG BUREAU, SASKATOON NEWSROOM

BRANDON — Counting costly canola seeds one by one as they drop isn’t humanly possible, although rising seed prices may have prompted some growers to consider it. Anything that lets a canola grower reduce his seeding rate without reducing yield is bound to attract attention, which is just one of the factors Case IH had in mind when planning its new 500 single disc air drill. Precise seed placement was at the top of the list when Case engineers approached a blank drawing board to design the 500. It had to be suitable for a wide range of crops and simple to adjust. The new drill made its Canadian debut at Manitoba Ag Days in January. Case spokesperson Darrell Bailey said the drill is one more entry in Case’s new equipment lineup. “We call it a split row planter,” said Bailey, adding that the opportunity to reduce seed rates through improved seed placement and seedling survival is attractive to canola growers. “It’s designed for cereals, corn, canola, soybeans and just about any other crop we grow on the Prairies. It does 30 inch rows for corn and 15 inch row for other crops.” It’s officially called the 500 Air Drill, but Bailey said it is a corn planter with true singulation when in the 500T

format with the frame mounted seed tank with air delivery. Uniform seed spacing within the row lends itself to healthier plants that don’t compete as much with each other. That creates more even crop maturity, reducing vulnerability to insects and disease and improving harvestability. “While we’re making that row, we have a shoe that makes a true V in the soil so the seed is always placed at the same depth,” he said. “The shoe eliminates trash and soil that causes seed depth to vary.” The tank mounted system delivers true or near singulation in most crops, depending on seed size. The integrated 70 or 100 bushel, poly mono-tank feeds a tank-mounted metering system that uses individual meter rollers for each primary run. Coarse, fine and extra fine units are available, but Case said most crops can be metered with any of the settings once the selection is calibrated. Like many of the air seeder cart metering systems on the market, the 500T’s tank meters are exposed to the seed at the bottom of the tank. A hydraulic motor drives the meter shaft, and a set of sprockets can be changed to move it from a one to one or three to one ration, depending on coarseness of the seed and the rate being planted. An optional automatic start and stop function with rank lowering and raising prevents un-planted seed rows.

Setting the depth, which had been an arduous task on previous drills, is now a matter of grabbing the T-handle and placing the pointer at any one of 14 depth positions. | RON LYSENG PHOTO The meters run between 15 and 110 r.p.m. The meter rollers are electronically clutched in groups of four or eight units, which allows for groups of meters to be shut off for section control when seeding overlaps and headlands and when finishing a field with a partial pass. The two-section overlap control on a 40 drill will be 20 feet, while the same machine with four section control will be 10 feet. The smallest increment is a four section 25 foot drill with 6.25 foot control. That control, along with variable

rate, is built into the GNSS, either GPS or GLONASS positioning technology. Manual control is possible on the AFS Pro 700 display. The section control is optional and requires a pass code to unlock on the controller. All functions on the 500 drills are offered to non-Case IH controllers. The 500 and 500T feed the entire data package. As well as core-controls and monitoring, this includes functions such as wizard-based calibrations and management of TCBAS and TC-SEC compliant task controllers for the section controls and delivery of warning pop-up windows. A single six-inch fan powers seed delivery. Once metered, the seed flows to a splitter that divides the flow in two as it makes its way to the seed row. The straight 500 drill setup uses the metering systems of the company’s precision air carts and allows for fertilizer and inoculant placement with the seed. The drill is available with single chute in 25, 30 and 40 foot sizes. Double chute is expected to be available later this year at the same time that the 60 foot version of the drill comes to market. The machine has a recommended operating speed of five to eight m.p.h., resulting in increased acres per hour over a comparably sized hoe or other-format disc drill. Case says the row units have a par-

allel-link design with an upper and lower arm to help achieve even depth across a variety of soil conditions. The 18 inch diameter discs are set at a seven degree angle so they slice a well-defined trench. Bailey said easy maintenance was high on the list of design criteria. The operator can take an entire row unit apart in five minutes. Ease of adjustment was also a priority. “In past years, it took a while to change depth control. Now it’s simply a matter of grabbing the T-handle and placing the pointer at any one of 14 depth positions.” Packing pressure adjustment is also easier, with an L-shaped handle that lets the operator quickly pick one of three packing pressures ranging from 160 to 400 pounds per square inch. Bailey said cereal growers are the target market. Two prairie producers signed up to seed all their cereals with the new drill this spring. Farmers are also warming up to the idea of planting canola with a corn planter. “We have guys using our 1245 corn planter. Even though it’s only a 40 foot machine, they’re planting canola with those planters,” he said. “The idea of planting corn with a corn planter is still in the early stages of infancy. We know of a lot of producers who are doing it, but we haven’t done any trials yet.”

FARM EQUIPMENT | MASSEY FERGUSON

Flag combines big hit on Prairies Wrapped in the flag | What started as a promotional campaign has grown in popularity BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

TULARE, Calif. — Massey Ferguson likes how the Canadian flag feels. When the farm equipment manufacturer laid out a giant, flying Canadian flag across two sides of one of its new combines last year, the idea was to promote the machine and the brand in Western Canada. The wrapped combine idea has since caught on in the region. “The Prairies have always been strong supporters of the Massey brand,” said Kevin Cobb of Agco. “There is a long history of the (Massey) self-propelled combine up there. They support the dealers, and we thought it might be a good way of showing our corporate recognition of those folks.” Agco wrapped its new red rotary combine in a giant Canadian flag for the Farm Progress Show in Regina last year, similar to what marketers often do with buses and promotional vehicles. The combine was also used for farm demonstrations last fall. “It was a big hit at the show with dealers and farmers,” Cobb said. “The dealers had customers asking if they could buy one for themselves.” Wayne Stankievech of Trochu Mo t o r s i n T ro c hu , A l t a. , g o t a wrapped combine and several requests by farmers who were anxious to own one. Cobb said that interest has caused his company to make a wrapped version an option through the dealers. Stankievech sold his demo unit from last fall and plans to have another available for fall demos this year. “We are thinking we will first offer it for sale to the farmers who participate in the demos before other customers,” he said. “One farmer was actually a little upset. He wanted one, but had already bought his combines for the year. His wife runs one of theirs and has a really big flag flying from her machine and they figured it would be even better if their combine was wrapped. It was the only way to go more Canadian with it.… I disappointed him, but maybe next season.” Cobb said the idea of wrapping a farm machine in the flag is an old one in the United States. “We’ve had custom painted tractor schemes in farm machinery for decades. Some were dealers, some were marketed that way and some were farmers doing their own things. The new wrapping technology has made this better, cheaper, more accessible,” he said. “So we thought, ‘hey, why not a combine?’ So we did.” The material used to wrap the combine has a seven year warranty against fading or peeling. Cobb said farmers who spend $5,000 to $6,000 on a wrapping should be able to peel it off when the implement is traded or sold. “It not only looks good, but when you take it off you have a fully (labelled) machine ready to go, with mint condi-

tion paint underneath,” he said. “There is probably a value to that, too. Used machines sell better with great paint.” Stankievech plans to limit the number he will offer to his customers, ensuring that the wrapped machines remain special. “And these things really are special looking, real Canadian.”

Lentils give beef a boost to improve consumer appeal Longer shelf life | Lentil flour enhances colour and adds fibre but not fat BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Researchers from the University of Saskatchewan and Agriculture Canada have identified a nutritious and natural way to keep the red in red meat. Phyllis Shand, a meat science expert at the U of S, says the addition of micronized lentil flour to red meat improves colour stability and slows oxidization of pigment and lipids in fresh and frozen meat products. Using the flour as a binding agent enhances lipid stability, improves cooking yield and has little or no impact on flavour in burgers, meatballs and sausages, the research suggests. Enhanced colour attributes and improved lipid characteristics mean red meat that contains micronized lentil flour becomes rancid less quickly and has a longer shelf life and improved consumer appeal. Widespread use of the flour as a meat binder could reduce retail losses associated with discoloured meat and result in significant monetary savings for the North Ameri-

can meat industry. “In addition to seeing a brighter red colour maintained longer in our fresh ground meat, we also see a decrease in lipid oxidization and so we’ll also get less rancidity development over time with the use of micronized lentil … flour,” Shand said. Micronized flour is made from grains or pulses that have been processed using infrared technology. InfraReady Products of Saskatoon is supporting the project by providing micronized pulse flour and facilitating research. “We’re all interested in eating healthier products, and with the

inclusion of lentils (in red meat), we have an opportunity to improve an already good product,” said InfraReady president Mark Pickard. “Other parts of the world are looking for alternative sources of protein and for ways to improve the quality of meat products, and I think lentils are an excellent way to do that.” Research examining pulse-based meat binders began at the U of S more than 15 years ago. It initially focused on the use of non-micronized pulse flours, but scientists eventually determined that micronized or infrared-treated flours had a more noticeable effect on maintaining meat redness and delaying pigment and lipid oxidization. In its current project, Shand’s research team added micronized flour to ground meat at levels varying from five to 12 percent of total volume. In most cases, researchers used lentil flour levels between five and six percent, a range that is typical for other binders commonly used in the North American meat industry. The research also showed that micronized chickpea flour had a

extending the shelf life of meat products are key considerations for the North American meat industry. The Canadian meat industry is not permitted to add dyes or other artificial pigment enhancers to meat to maintain the appearance of freshness. The redness of beef or other red meats is determined largely by the cut of meat, its quality and the environmental conditions to which it is exposed. Micronized lentil flour not only has the potential to reduce meat industry and retail losses but also enhance dietary fibre, provide supplementary protein and contribute to increased meat firmness and juiciness, Shand said. Toasted wheat crumb is now widely used as a binding agent in ground meat products, but lentil flour produces a gluten-free meat product than can be aimed at consumers with celiac disease. Shand’s research received support from Agriculture Canada, Saskatchewan Pulse Growers, InfraReady Products and the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council. Scientists Michael Nickerson and Janitha Wanasundara are also involved in the project.

similar effect. However, chickpeas contain lipids, meaning the addition of chickpea flour would increase lipid or fat content in ground meat products and limit consumer appeal. “We’re tending to focus more of our work now on lentil flour in terms of its price point and in terms of its potential application for the industry,” Shand said. “I think we’re seeing the effect of micronized chickpea flour to be similar to that of lentils. But because the chickpea has some lipids in it, if we we’re trying to develop a low-fat meat product, we wouldn’t necessarily want extra lipid content coming from the chickpea.” Funding for the research project is due to expire at the end of the month, but Shand and others hope to secure further funding to study variations between different lentil cultivars. Initial work showed no obvious differences between lentil types. “We do see the same effect with red lentils and green lentils, but we haven’t looked that closely yet at different lentil cultivars (within various lentil classes), and that will be our next step, is to see if there’s a particular cultivar that is superior,” she said.

Numbers show damage from Man. windstorm Reseeding | Worst year on record for wind damage BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Last year was terrible for canola in Manitoba. Drought, heat, disease and insects hammered the crop, pushing the average yield down to 26.1 bushels per acre, according to Statistics Canada figures. As well, provincial crop insurance shattered a record for wind claims, thanks to a freakish storm in May. “There was $ 9,667,278 … in reseed benefits for wind related losses on 133,346 acres of crop,” said Doug Wilcox, Manitoba Agricultural Services Corp.’s manager for program development, insurance. “(It) was the worst year in MASC’s history for wind related losses in the spring. The previous record was in 2002, when $2,212,412 were paid out in reseeding benefits for spring wind related losses on 60,069 impacted acres.” Wilcox said canola fields represented 93 percent of the wind reseeding claims. A May 14 windstorm in central Manitoba, with gusts exceeding 100 km-h, ripped canola seedlings out of the ground and propelled tons of topsoil into the air. The gale flipped over grain bins near Portage la Prairie and knocked down a wall at Winnipeg’s new football stadium. The storm was so severe that NASA

satellite cameras detected the dust clouds over Manitoba. “Here is Manitoba soil on the move. So, we can see it from outer space,” said John Heard, a Manitoba Agriculture soil fertility specialist, who showed a NASA image of the storm during a presentation at a special crops seminar in Brandon March 6. “This picture was taken in the afternoon (of May 14) and we know, at least in Carman, that our wind speeds didn’t peak until 9 p.m.” The MASC reseed payment is 25 percent of the per acre coverage of the affected crop. Assuming a per acre coverage of $350, farmers would have received $87.50 per acre. Excess moisture usually causes most of the reseed claims in Manitoba, while wind damage represents five percent of claims. Wilcox said the May 14 storm boosted that figure substantially, with wind damage causing 65 percent of the reseeding claims last year. “It wasn’t just one windstorm, but it was probably mainly the one (storm).” Heard agreed that the May storm was a rare occurrence, but said growers can still prepare for windstorms at seeding time. “(It’s) one of those catastrophic events. They’re very hard to plan for, but if you leave your residue anchored, and not just sitting on top (of the soil), that’s where you get protection.”

Sask. family sells Simmental for $190K Prize bull | SVS Captain Morgan sets North American record price for purebred sire STORIES BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

A black Simmental bull from Saskatchewan has sold for $190,000, a North American record. SVS Captain Morgan 11Z, raised by Sunny Valley Simmentals of Hanley, Sask., had already garnered a lot of attention before sale day March 6. The Dimler family of Double Bar D Farms in Grenfell, Sask. was the new owner when the gavel slammed down at Sunny Valley’s annual production sale after rapid fire bidding among interested parties across the Prairies. “We knew the interest was there beforehand and that he had the potential to bring that, but I am still having trouble getting it through my head,” said Tyler Libke, whose family owns Sunny Valley Simmentals. The Libkes, who run 125 purebred cows, have been in the Simmental business since the breed arrived in Canada. “From the time that calf was born we knew he was pretty special,” Libke said. “Ones like these don’t come along every day, and for everything to line up and have the outcome the way it did, it is a once in a lifetime deal. It is something to shoot for in the future.” The Libkes have two full sisters to Captain Morgan that will be bred this spring. Half siblings have already arrived. “This bull’s dam was a national champion, and she is kind of the

Captain Morgan is only 14 months old and will be used exclusively in the Dimler program. It was named supreme champion bull at the Saskatoon Fall Fair and was also a top 10 finalist at the Cana-

dian Western Agribition supreme challenge, the only bull calf to ever make it to that level. The bull is homozygous polled and is sired by Harvie JDF Wallbanger 111X, whose calves are topping production sales across the Prairies this spring.

Wallbanger came from the Harvie Ranching breeding program at Olds, Alta., and was born in 2010. It was the high selling calf in Canada in 2010 at $45,000 for a half interest. A syndicate of breeders owns the other half, including Sunny Valley. The bull resides at Robb Farms in Maidstone, Sask.

The first Wallbanger calves have been available for sale this year and are topping all the spring sales, said Cole Harvie. “Roughly, he has probably sold in this breeding season over half a million dollars worth of progeny in his first year,” he said. Harvie said the family knew the calf was a game changer. “He was a little different from most Simmentals in that he was a little bigger bodied, easy going kind of bull all through his life,” he said. The Harvies have six full sisters in their herd and three maternal sisters. “We’ll keep trying to get as much progeny as we can,” he said. A Wallbanger son named Harvie Boondock was reserve bull calf champion at the National Western Stock Show in Denver in January. The Harvies raise three purebred breeds with Simmentals being the most recent addition. Wallbanger is homozygous polled and heterozygous black and is already known as a performance bull. “Every single purebred guy is trying to get a son off him in Canada,” said Harvie. “He is one of the most exciting herd bulls produced in the Simmental breed in quite a few years.… He is siring performance bulls that are coming off of first calf heifers so he is working in the heifer pen, yet he is still siring the highest performing bulls in the sales.… That is what is making him such an attractive package.”

The Calgary Bull Sale may be a shadow of its former self, but it continues to draw a group of dedicated consignors. “This is their main marketing avenue, not just for sales but for promotion of their business,” said Doug Finseth, president of the Alberta Cattle Breeders Association, which has organized the event for 113 years. “Consignment sales are a very good place for the smaller breeders to get exposure for their cattle.” More breeders are opting to hold their own sales, and all of those have been strong this spring, indicating optimism is returning to the beef industry after 10 years of struggle with drought, BSE and market volatility. Finseth, who manages the Bar Pipe Ranch at Okotoks, Alta., said calls are coming in not only for new bulls but also for good female breeding stock. “We are getting calls for replacement females to build cow herds. That’s the best news, and it is a young generation that is coming back.” The increased interest has also been noted at Lorenz Angus Farms in Markerville, Alta. “Between this and our own sale at home, we have probably had as much if not more bull interest than we have had in the last five years,” said Chad Lorenz, who had the grand champion Angus bull at the March 7

sale in Calgary. It sold for $7,000 to M & R Damon Farms of Strathmore, Alta. Lorenz, a student at Lakeland College in Vermilion, is graduating this spring with a diploma in animal science. He plans to return to the family farm and continue building its purebred Angus herd. He sees a trend to rebuild the Canadian beef herd, which has shown little or no growth since 2005. The latest Statistics Canada census puts the herd at 12.3 million head. “We are at a point where our demand will outstrip our supply,” he said. He also sees a future for purebred cattle because they provide consistency for the commercial sector. “We need purebred cattle so we can breed uniform, consistent cattle that have performance,” he said. Gordon Henderson, who has run purebred cattle since 1947, has a longer view of where the industry is going. His ranch, Little Poplar Grove Herefords at Forestburg, Alta., sold the grand champion for $35,000 to Crone Herefords of Hardisty, Alta. The Hendersons’ herd started with four Hereford females and has been developed for growth rather than fashion. “My dad always said when you sell them at the auction mart, those calves that weigh the most bring the most money,” he said. The family has been consigning to

With prices high for grain and oilseeds and better paying jobs in other sectors, he wonders how long many beef operations will continue. “It gets to the basics of economics. We are not getting as much for bulls as we did 10 years ago,” he said. However, sticking with the basics of a breed like Hereford has paid the bills on the family’s mixed farm, even though they have tried many other breeds that did not work as well in the dry country of east-central Alberta. “Right now, the Hereford thing is good. We sold our bottom end Hereford calves to Russia for $1,700,” he said. The family sold cattle overseas last year, and another load is going this spring.

REGINA BULL SALE | AUCTION

Regina bull sale organizers pledge to rejuvenate event Bull sales declining | Despite dwindling interest, officials contend 108-year-old event can remain relevant with the proper changes BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Changes are coming to the Regina Bull Sale as organizers contend with declining entries and exhibitors, said chair Scott Fettes. At a meeting within the next month, the committee plans to look at what it can do to revive the event. Fettes declined to elaborate. The 108th sale held March 10 saw far fewer bulls sold than last year’s previous low of 92. More than half on offer were Herefords. Simmentals haven’t been part of the sale for a couple of years and the Charolais entries this year were down to three. However, the committee thinks there is a place for this type of event. Herman Bieber of Wolseley, Sask., would like to see it continue and is waiting to hear what the committee has in mind. Bieber Herefords has been using the Regina Bull Sale as a sales venue for decades.

“I like the show part of it,” he said. The Bieber family got out of that aspect of the business for a while but two years ago re-entered the bull show and last fall returned to the show ring at Canadian Western Agribition, which is held in November in Regina. They had a successful sale on the weekend. Grand champion Hereford bull HDB 108S’S Monroe 331Y was the first to enter the sale ring and earned $9,000 from volume buyers Blaschuck Land and Cattle at Chaplin, Sask. That price stood for the rest of the sale as the highest. It also represented an ongoing relationship between the two operations. “They are repeat buyers for us and always support the Regina Bull Sale,” Bieber noted. The Blaschuck family bought several higher priced bulls, including two from Harvey Duke at Wascana Cattle Co. of Regina for $6,800 and $5,100 and another from Gregory

In the Black Angus show, Edwards Pure Product 77Z from Edwards Angus at Craik, Sask., topped the classes. Freyburn Alliance 69Y, shown by Freyburn Angus of Oxbow, Sask., was the reserve. Two DKF bulls won top honours in the Red Angus show: Red DKF Dynamo 23Z and Red DKF Xover 7Z.

HORSE MEAT | MISLABELLING

European horse meat scandal has implications for Canada ANIMAL HEALTH

JAMIE ROTHENBURGER, DVM

or most people I know, the thought of knowingly eating horse meat leaves a bad taste in their mouths. A few adventurous types have

expressed their interest in trying it, but I suspect none would be pleased to find it in products labelled as some other type of meat. The recent discovery of horse meat passed off as beef in Europe is yet another blow to the horse slaughter industry in Canada. The price of horses in Canada is still depressed following the closure of U.S. slaughter facilities in 2007. The issue of what to do with the excess horses has been brewing ever since. A large number of these unwanted horses are shipped to slaughter plants in Canada and Mexico, where some of

the meat is consumed locally, but the majority is shipped overseas, primarily Europe and Japan. Fewer than 100,000 horses are slaughtered each year in Canada for meat. The U.S. recently lifted its ban on federal inspection of horses at slaughter, suggesting horse slaughter in that country may resume soon. Decreased meat consumption is one of the anticipated effects of the recent tainted meat scandal as consumer confidence is shaken again. The consumption of beef in the United Kingdom has been on the decline since a link was established in 1996 between BSE and the human form of the disease, new variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. This latest scandal isn’t going to help matters. It is surprising that incidences of mislabelling are not more common, given the globalization of the food industry. For example, the melamine-contaminated pet food and baby formula scandals highlight the interconnected and sometimes unscrupulous nature of this industry. The chemical melamine artificially increases a product’s nitrogen content, creating an increase in perceived protein content when tested and therefore garnering a better price. Nitrogen is used to indirectly measure protein content in food. It is not clear how often Canadian or imported ground meat products are tested to ensure the meat is from the species listed on the label and how likely it is that a similar mislabelling event could happen here. The economic incentive to pass off horse meat as beef may not exist in Canada because horse meat is sold at premium prices as a delicacy rather than discount ground meat. Food safety is a major concern with any type of animal product, whether it is eggs, mutton or horse. One aspect of food safety is ensuring that food is not contaminated with drug residues, which is why the Canadian Food Inspection Agency spends a great deal of taxpayers’ money testing animal products before they hit store shelves. The anti-inflammatory drug phenybutazone, also known as bute, is commonly given to horses with arthritis pain and lameness. It is not labelled for use in food animals. The CFIA has a zero tolerance policy for this drug, which means any detectable amount in meat is considered a drug residue violation. Many horses are given this drug and there are few or no records, unlike other meat production systems. Information on a horse’s previous health treatments is either nonexistent or easily lost when it moves from companion animal to meat livestock, often through auction market sales. The CFIA has made equine information documents a requirement for horses destined for slaughter since 2010. This document includes all medication and vaccines given within the last six months. The program should reduce the risk of recently treated horses entering the human food chain.

TRAGEDY | COMMUNITY RALLIES

Support continues to roll in following accident Rancher remembered | Donations and farm assistance still coming in 14 months after Jay Fox died BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

NEEPAWA, Man. — Just before Christmas 2011 Major Jay Fox, a wellknown and respected member of Manitoba’s cattle community, died in an accident on his farm near Eddystone, Man. Over the last 14 months, cattle producers across the province have come together to support Fox’s wife, Angie, and their children, Devon, 15, Charlee, 6, Porter, 5 and Major, 3. As examples of the support, the Manitoba Livestock Marketing Association raised $20,000 for the Fox family during a golf tournament and auction last summer. The Manitoba Charolais Association raised $7,000 for the Foxes through a heifer auction and at their 2013 annual meeting, while the Manitoba Beef Producers donated half its auction proceeds to Angie. Despite the outpouring of support and the length of time since Fox passed away, individual cattle producers like Brent Stewart of Russell, Man., are still reaching out to the Fox family. “We kind of wanted of do something on our own,” said Stewart, who donated a heifer to Devon during the Stewart Cattle Co. and Guests bull sale, held in Neepawa, Man., at the end of February. “He (Devon) has helped his mom run the farm and he’s a real good kid to be around. He’s worked for us a few times (at sales and shows) and he’s been excellent.” Born and raised on a ranch near Lloydminster, Sask., Jay and his parents moved to Manitoba in the 1990s to start a new farm close to Eddystone. Angie, who was also raised in Saskatchewan, moved to Manitoba in 2005 and the young couple took over the farm from Jay’s parents, running a cow-calf operation on the west side of Lake Manitoba. Although he was new to the province, Jay quickly made a name for himself in Manitoba’s cattle industry. He became a director of the Manitoba Beef Producers and in 2009 he was elected president of the organization, serving two years in that role. Only weeks after stepping down as president, he was trying to detach a front-end loader assembly from a tractor when the hydraulics released and the bucket fell. He later died in a Winnipeg hospital at the age of 32. While dozens of cattle buyers ate chili, sipped cola and chewed on doughnuts as they waited for Stewart’s bull sale to begin in Neepawa, Angie sat down to talk about Jay, her life since the accident and the incredible response from Manitoba’s cattle community. “People have been so generous and supported us so many different ways, it’s hard to put into words how grateful we are,” she said while cattle buyers looked at Black Angus bulls on display. “We live in a great community and a great province…. We weren’t raised in Manitoba so we’re just very thankful.” A n g i e ’s n e i g h b o u r s a r o u n d Eddystone have been particularly generous with their time and financial support. For instance, there are only seven kids in the 4-H club in Eddystone but the organization raised $2,000 for the Fox family. As well, fellow ranchers have donated time to help Angie and

Devon run their 250 head cow-calf operation. “When we did our branding I think there were more people than we even knew what to do with,” Angie said with a grin. The transition from running the farm with a partner to going it alone has, of course, been difficult. Yet, before the accident, Angie frequently worked solo because Jay was away at cattle industry meetings.

When we did our branding I think there were more people than we even knew what to do with. ANGIE FOX PRODUCER

“People have said, ‘oh my goodness, it must have been a huge learning curve.’ There were parts of it that were (challenging), the marketing and stuff like that,” she said. “(But) I’m very, very fortunate to have Jay’s mom and dad (who live in Dauphin, Man.) because they are a huge support to us. And my own mom and dad. My dad spent a lot of time out h e re i n t h e f i r s t t h re e o r f o u r months.” Devon, who was already seen as steady and dependable, has taken on new responsibilities, assisting his mom with decision making on the farm. “He’s going to have to grow up fairly rapidly,” Stewart said. Nonetheless, Stewart is confident that Devon, who competes in high school rodeo during the summer, is up for the challenge. “I think he has a big future in the cattle business.” If Devon wants to become a cattle producer, that’s fine, Angie said. However, she wants him to leave the farm for a while before he commits to a life as a rancher. “We want them (the kids) to love the farm and part of loving the farm is going out to see what the rest of the world is like…. If he wants to come back (after), then come back.” Besides running the farm, Angie has stayed involved in Manitoba’s agriculture community, helping run the Outstanding Young Farmer program in Manitoba. In 2008, Jay and Angie were named the Outstanding Young Farmers in the province. Looking back over the last 14 months, there were times when friends and acquaintances were unsure of what to say and what to ask, Angie said. Yet, because she is so open about Jay and what happened, the awkwardness has subsided. “People aren’t scared to talk about (Jay) anymore,” she said. “I don’t get tired of talking about it. It just becomes a part of your life. It’s a part of learning to cope. As long as that memory lives, then it’s right in your heart…. We totally talk about him all the time. For us, any stories about him are good.”

RESEARCH | CROP RESIDUE

Scientists look to turn residue into usable goods Fast pyrolysis | Process turns crop residue into a variety of products BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Scientists are looking for ways to turn unwanted agricultural residues into value-added products such as heating oil and agricultural fertilizers. Erin Powell, a research scientist with the Saskatchewan Research Council, says a process known as fast pyrolysis has the potential to turn agricultural residues, such as straw and manure into a variety of products that could be used in agricultural and industrial applications. “Farmers are looking for avenues to manage residues and waste, and creating value-added products from that material makes it even more attractive,” Powell said. Pyrolysis is a process that breaks down material using heat in the absence of oxygen. Through pyrolysis, feedstock materials such as straw and manure are converted into three products: a liquid bio-oil, a gaseous fuel and a granular bio-char, similar to fine charcoal. The SRC uses a mobile pyrolysis unit to demonstrate the process and determine whether it is economically viable to turn low-value agricultural residues into value-added materials. The trailer-mounted unit can be moved, which eliminates the need to transport large volumes of low quality material to a central processing location. The machine can handle roughly one tonne of raw material per day, Powell said. Feed materials are first ground or chopped into small particles and moisture content is reduced 10 percent or lower using a built-in dryer. Five percent or less is ideal. The pre-processed material is then fed into the pyrolysis unit and exposed in an air-tight chamber to super-heated steel shot. The steel shot is roughly the size of a canola seed and is circulating at a high speed. When the feedstock contacts the steel shot, the material vapourizes instantly. The resulting biochar is separated from the steel shot and collected in an external container. Vaporized material is cooled rapidly and separated into a liquid oil and a combustible gaseous fuel. The gas is recirculated and burned to help power the pyrolysis unit. Char and oil are collected and taken off site for further refinement and processing. The characteristics of the oil, gas and char will vary depending on the type of feedstock used, its moisture content and the processing temperatures applied during the pyrolysis process. The SRC has tested the unit at temperatures ranging from 400 C to 600 C. Powell and others have recently completed a project that focused on making pyrolysis viable and practical for Saskatchewan farmers.

That project, which received funding through the Saskatchewan government’s Agriculture Development Fund, was based on previous research that examined the applicability of pyrolysis on three feedstocks — wheat straw, flax straw and poultry litter. “We’re actually focusing a lot on what we can do with these products and how can we make them valuable enough to make this process worthwhile to farmers and producers who might want to use this technology,” said Powell. Much of Powell’s most recent research has examined the feasibility of upgrading raw bio-oil from pyrolysis to the standard of a No. 2 heating oil. The oil produced during pyrolysis tends to have higher acidity than regular heating oil, higher viscosity, more moisture and a higher oxygen content. Further refinement is required before the oil could replace commercial heating fuel. The stability of the oil is also a concern.

The biochar is a fine, dust-like substance that is black, porous and absorbent. The material could be used as a soil amendment to deliver chemicals or fertilizers in agricultural production. It could also be used in environmental bioremediation to deliver microbes of other substances that interact with potentially harmful chemicals or soil-borne toxins. There is also potential to extract high-value compounds from the biooil and use them in other applications, Powell said. For now, however, the SRC is hoping to find applications that will benefit farmers and allow them to use the gas, oil and char in producing crops or livestock and offsetting production costs. “There’s quite a range of ways to make this (technology) valuable,” Powell said. “The ultimate goal is to … use this (technology) to offset the costs of primary production.”

LIVESTOCK | CODE OF PRACTICE

Tory MPs go on offensive over GMOs Witness under fire | Federal government is proposing world’s first low level presence policy

New code defended BY ED WHITE

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Some familiar political battles over genetically modified organisms erupted at the House of Commons agriculture committee last week when anti-GMO campaigner Lucy Sharratt found herself under Conservative attack. Alberta Conservative MP Blake Richards noted that her Canadian Biotechnology Action Network is a “project” of Vancouver-based environmental umbrella group Tides Canada. The Conservatives consider Tides Canada a radical environmental organization that takes tens of millions of dollars in American funding to fight against Canadian interests. Richards peppered her with hostile questions and statements, then cut Sharratt off when she tried to answer. Liberal Frank Valeriote accused him of “badgering” a witness who had been invited to appear. New Democrat Malcolm Allen called it a “blustering diatribe.” In a later interview, Sharratt said partisan instincts rather than the policy issue at stake had captured the committee debate.

“This is a serious issue that needs debate and if the agriculture committee can’t provide space for that debate, it just adds to the polarization,” she said. The blow-up came as the committee considered an Agriculture Canada proposal that the country become the first in the world to establish a low-level presence policy for accepting imports of commodities containing inadvertent trace amounts of GMO traits unapproved in Canada but approved in originating country whose food safety system Canada recognizes. The government argument for the proposal, supported by most grain and commodity sectors, is that guaranteeing zero adventitious presence is impossible. And since Canada has been leading an international campaign to convince importers of Canadian commodities to implement LLP rules so multimillion-dollar export cargoes are not turned away because of trace GMO findings, it argues Canada should set an example. At present around the world, including in Canada, zero tolerance for unapproved GM traces is the rule.

LUCY SHARRATT CANADIAN BIOTECHNOLOGY ACTION NETWORK

At the committee, Saskatchewan farmer and Grain Growers of Canada representative Franck Groeneweg presented prepared remarks that supported the government proposal. “To ensure our products can continue to be exported, it is imperative that countries around the world adopt a low-level presence policy,” he said. Gordon Harrison, president of the Canadian National Millers’ Association and representing the Canada Grains Council, said the CGC supports the proposal but considers the suggested trigger levels of between 0.1 and 0.2 percent too low and the trigger should be above 0.2 percent content. Sharratt took the opposite view in her presentation, arguing that it would expose Canadian consumers

to untested risks and undermine Canada’s claim to have a “sciencebased” food safety system, “The adoption of the LLP policy would establish Canada as the first countr y in the world to accept imports contaminated with levels of G M f o o d s t h a t h av e n o t b e e n approved by our own regulatory agencies,” she argued. GMO supporters bristle when GM trace amounts are called “contamination.” Ontario Conservative MP Pierre Lemieux argued that zero tolerance is impractical in the current world of agriculture where seeds spread in the wind and rail cars or cargo ships may carry GM crops on one trip and a non-GM cargo on its return trip, making minute amounts of seed mixing highly likely. He said existing equipment often is not sophisticated enough to detect trace amounts. Sharratt would not concede that those arguments justify changing the zero presence policy. The government proposal now is subject to a public comment period. No deadline has been announced for a final decision.

Livestock producers who are tempted to complain about the upcoming Code of Practice should think about what the document would look like if enemies of the industry wrote it. “The (Canadian Food Inspection Agency) was contacted by (animal rights activist group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), and PETA offered to re-do all the codes of practice for all the (livestock) groups in Canada,” Canadian Sheep Federation executive director Jennifer McTavish told the Manitoba Sheep Association’s annual meeting. “There’s a tendency … to begrudge the government for these programs, but when you start watching the media, when you start watching (grocery chain operator) Galen Weston TV commercials, you realize that a lot of these are often issues that are also pushed by our consumer.” McTavish said the code was put together by informed industry people and acknowledged experts who support the existence of livestock industries, so farmers should realize its recommendations are based on reasonable assumptions about what is proper and possible on a real sheep farm. All of Canada’s major livestock industries are having their codes of practice updated to reflect modern production realities and current sensitivities about animal welfare. The codes will first be circulated among affected industries and other interested parties and then amended and approved. They will not be mandatory. Instead, they will be presented as an accepted standard of operating that has farmer support.

Saskatchewan’s new NDP leader has called for party unity after a narrow 44 vote win at last weekend’s leadership convention. Saskatoon MLA Cam Broten edged out Saskatoon doctor Ryan Meili on the second ballot to become the youngest NDP leader in the province’s history. Meili, who finished second to former leader Dwain Lingenfelter in 2009, was ahead after the first ballot. Regina MLA Trent Wotherspoon was in third place and dropped out to leave the two contenders. Broten was able to pull more of Wotherspoon’s supporters to him, most of which had been done ahead of time by mail-in preferential ballot. Broten received 4,164 votes on the second ballot to Meili’s 4,120. Broten, 34, named Wotherspoon as deputy leader. The NDP has nine of 58 seats in the legislature and all three leadership candidates acknowledged that making gains in rural areas must be a priority.

Federated Co-operatives Ltd. announced record sales for 2012 last week, but delegates at its annual meeting in Saskatoon were warned of increasing pressure from large competitors in key business sectors. “The marketplace is changing and to compete we need to keep improving. We know that the status quo is not an option,” FCL chief executive officer Scott Banda told the audience. With big players like Walmart and Target in the retail food sector and Glencore and Agrium in the crop supply business, FCL officials outlined challenges that its rural and urban members across Western Canada will face. “These competitors of ours continue to get larger and more sophisticated. They are changing their models. They’re changing their strategies, so they can target their customers and compete more effectively,” said Banda. FCL, which employs about 20,000 people, recorded sales of $8.86 billion in 2012. That’s up seven percent from 2011 and represents growth across its energy, food, home and building supplies, crop supplies and feed businesses. Sales of crop supplies totalled $353 million, up from $289 in 2011. “Recent changes to the marketing of grain in Canada has opened up a whole new wave of international competitors in our market,” said Banda. “These competitors are pursuing grain in Canada, but they bring with them a whole number of other business lines with them that compete directly with us.” Officials outlined plans for a customer-focused brand and marketing strategy, building on its presence in 500 communities. “Where are the changes happening and where are there maybe some gaps in service areas?

A worker removes snow from the roof of Federated Co-operative’s food warehouse in Saskatoon, where an expansion is expected to be complete this summer. FCL had record sales in 2012 but faces increasing competition from multinational retailers and grain companies. | WILLIAM DEKAY PHOTO back-end infrastructure and inventory systems will challenge smaller retailers, officials said. The organization has 234 retail members across Western Canada, down from last year following several amalgamations. FCL’s annual report shows that four members — Bu r na by i n B r i t i s h C o l u m b i a, Kinasao in Saskatchewan, Magrath

and Orion in Alberta — were removed from membership. Huard highlighted the merger of large co-ops in Red Deer and Innisfail, Alta., and said further amalgamations are in the works. “We know that there are boards out there talking. We encourage them to talk all the time …” said Huard. “We don’t control that. It has to

happen at the retail level. People in the communities have to make these initiatives work.” FCL reports it spent $1.3 billion in capital projects in 2012, with several slated for completion this year, including an expansion of its refinery complex in Regina, the expansion of its Saskatoon warehouse and a new petroleum terminal near Calgary.

TRADING | CHANGES

ICE Canada considers change as CME Group plans shorter trading hours WINNIPEG (Reuters) — ICE Futures Canada, the world’s largest futures and options market for canola, is asking participants for input on its trading hours. ICE’s competitor, CME Group Inc., announced March 5 that it would shorten its trading schedule for grains and oilseeds handled by its

subsidiary Chicago Board of Trade. Soybean and soy oil trade at the CBOT often sets the tone for canola trading at ICE Futures Canada. ICE Canada chief operating officer Brad Vannan said any changes to trading hours at the Winnipeg exchange would need approval from the Manitoba Securities Commission.

Vannan declined to say how soon potential changes could be in place. ICE Canada’s canola contract and seldom-traded milling wheat, durum and barley contracts now trade from 7 p.m. until 2 p.m. Central time, all electronically. CBOT, which last year moved to 21 hours of electronic trading to com-

pete with expanded hours at the InterContinental Exchange, now plans to scale back to 17½ hours because traders complained that volumes have been light at certain times of the day, making it difficult to trade. The CME proposal, to begin April 8 pending regulatory approval, will see CBOT and Kansas City Board of

Trade electronic trade open at 7 p.m. and run through the night to 7:45 a.m. It would pause for 45 minutes and then electronic and pit trade would run from 8:30 a.m. until the 1:15 p.m. settlement. The Minneapolis Grain Exchange said it would roughly follow the CBOT’s new hours.

AGFINANCE GRAIN PROCUREMENT | CHANGES COMING

Vertical integration | CWB forced indirect relationship with producers

Vertical integration is probably coming to Canada’s milling industry as the implications of the open market create new opportunities, says a grain trading executive. “Grain procurement has become priority number one,” said Doug Hilderman, vice-president for western grain trading for NorAg Resources, an agricultural commodity merchandizer with headquarters in Port Hope, Ont. “The lack of integration is definitely going to change.… The marketing supply chain is still very fragmented.” Hilderman said millers and bakers had an indirect relationship with farmers under the CWB monopoly. Buyers would tell the CWB what they wanted and CWB would try to find it or get farmers to grow it and then try set a standard price for all millers. “The milling market was stagnant,” he said. “The returns were stagnant for the miller and I think the baker.”

DOUG HILDERMAN NORAG RESOURCES

Bigger buyers didn’t get discounts over smaller buyers and had few ways to get closer to the farmer, which resulted in little incentive to invest in the industry. However, Hilderman now thinks millers and bakers will want to work closely with farmers to encourage them to grow specific varieties so they can make specialized products. He also thinks farmers will make more money from the open market because buyers are fighting with each other for specific types of grain. “More buyers are looking for the same tonne of grain,” he said.

Hilderman, who came to NorAg after 13 years with ADM as Canadian grain manager, said NorAg is among the companies that have entered the western Canadian market because of the end of the CWB monopoly. “There could be 12 to 14 companies, credible companies, that are out trying to buy grain in Western Canada,” said Hilderman. He said working with farmers makes it easier for millers and bakers to ensure they get exactly what they want. The inability to easily work directly with farmers has retarded the development of some products that are common in the United States, such as whole wheat white bread, he added. “I think as we move out of this bulk grain handling, bulk information kind of model that we have been in, that we’re going to see more information on what the consumers are after, what varieties, what traits, protein functionality,” Hilderman said. “That’s going to make growers maybe make better planting decisions.”

AGRIUM | PROXY FIGHT

Jana targets five Agrium directors The directors targeted for replacement include former Viterra CEO Mayo Schmidt WINNIPEG (Reuters) — Activist hedge fund shareholder Jana Partners will take aim at mostly longserving Agrium Inc. directors in its proxy contest with the Canadian fertilizer company. The fight is over whether to break up the company and change how it runs its farm retail network. Jana’s five candidates for the 12-member board w ill seek to replace former Agrium chair Frank Proto, a 20-year board member, Susan Henry, a director for 11 years, five-year director Derek Pannell and eight-year director Russell Horner. Jana is also targeting former Viterra chief executive officer Mayo Schmidt, whom Agrium appointed recently. “These five directors embody the lack of relevant distribution experience, passivity in the face of underperformance, lack of shareholder alignment and entrenchment tactics of Agrium’s board that have caused Agrium to underperform,” managing partner Barry Rosenstein said March 7 in Jana’s proxy circular to Agrium shareholders. Agrium said Jana is downplaying to shareholders its aim to spin off its retail division, which sells seed, chemicals and fertilizer to farmers, from its fertilizer wholesale business. Agrium also said Jana’s candidates for the board have agreed to accept payments from the hedge fund for serving on Agrium’s board, raising

questions about their independence. “Jana has resorted to attempts to deceive our shareholders because its ever-changing arguments have gained no traction,” Agrium chair Victor Zaleschuk said. “Jana’s dissident slate of ‘golden leash’ nominees has been commissioned to break up the company and terminate an integrated strategy that has delivered substantial and sustainable value to shareholders.” Agrium shareholders will vote April 9 for the board of directors at the company’s annual meeting in Calgary. Shareholders can vote for as many or as few candidates as they want, but can vote only from Agrium’s or Jana’s proxy card. A source close to the company said they can’t mix and match. There is no requirement that a shareholder vote for the entire slate of either side. Jana owns 7.5 percent of Agrium, making it the largest shareholder. BMO Capital Markets analyst Joel Jackson said he expects a settlement to the dispute before a vote takes place, likely involving some Jana representation on the board. “Investor fatigue has settled in, in our view, and we have seen little hedge fund/(arbitration fund) interest in this dispute,” Jackson wrote in a note to clients. Jana’s other concerns include costs

of the retail operation, Agrium’s use of capital and what it terms a lack of relevant board experience for the retail operation.

To lease or not to lease MONEY IN YOUR POCKET

GRANT DIAMOND

CRA’s asset class designation affects buying, leasing decisions

pring time and planting season are just around the corner and it’s a time when many farmers consider buying new equipment. How to finance the purchase is a major issue. The two most common options are borrowing funds to buy the equipment or leasing equipment from the supplier or through a third party. The terms and interest rate applied to the purchase loan and cost of leasing are obvious reference points to determine the benefits of going one route over the other. There are significant tax implications that come in to play, however, that can make one method of financing a better decision. If you borrow to buy the equipment, for instance, you will be able to deduct all the interest on the loan and claim an annual depreciation charge called capital cost allowance. However, the Canada Revenue Agency places depreciable properties in different classes and each class has its own rate of depreciation. The length of time it takes for an item to become fully depreciated can make a major difference in your

tax position. For instance, CRA considers hopper bins a Class 6 asset that can be depreciated at only a 10 percent annual rate on the declining balance. Class 8 equipment can be depreciated at a higher rate of 20 percent, while a combine is categorized as a Class 10 asset and has a 30 percent rate. Purchasing three hopper bins for $25,000 would take more than 20 years to write off. For tax purposes, you will be able to claim all the interest on the loan and a total of $18,129 capital cost allowance over a 23 year period. Leasing the bins, however, will allow you to deduct $19,625 in lease payments over a mere three-year time period with a $2,500 buy-out option after the third year. The low capital cost allowance rate for hoppers (a Class 6 item) encourages leasing, providing the ability to claim the full amount 20 years sooner than would otherwise be available through loan financing. This benefit declines with higher class capital cost allowance rates. The combine (a Class 10 item) would provide about a $86,000 deduction over six years, which would be roughly the same if you borrowed the money or leased the equipment. In this case, your decision whether to borrow money to buy or lease would simply come down to the comparative terms, conditions and costs of both methods of financing. Lower CCA class rates generally favour leasing rather than borrowing funds to finance equipment. Grant Diamond is a tax analyst in Kelowna, B.C. with FBC, a company that specializes in farm tax.
