Support programs benefit large farms most Competitiveness of small farms may continue to erode, says report BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Canada’s farm support programs are flawed and should be reconsidered, say University of Western Ontario researchers. A report from the Richard Ivey School of Business argues that existing business risk management (BRM) programs contribute to a widening investment gap between large f a r m s a n d s ma l l e r o p e rat i o n s because they put far more money into pockets of large farmers. Income stabilization programs favour larger producers because their cash flow, sales and revenues are larger and take a bigger hit from volatility. SEE FARM SUPPORTS, PAGE 2

Tempers heat up over COOL

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Manitoba’s weanling hog producers are feeling disgust, despair, outrage, resignation and, above all, frustration as they question whether they are in a viable industry with a future. The long trade war with the United States appears no closer to an end than it was months ago, when the World Trade Organization handed

the industry an apparent victory that many believed would end the crippling situation. “It makes it worse and just puts more pressure on (U.S.) packers not to buy foreign-born animals,” Manitoba Pork Council general manager Andrew Dickson said a few days after the U.S. Department of Agriculture revealed its proposed countryof-origin labelling amendments. “It doesn’t address the issue the

WTO ruled on.” Dickson’s opinion was echoed by virtually all Canadian pork and agriculture industries, the federal and provincial governments and major U.S. pig, cattle and meat processing organizations. COOL’s trade-distorting effects are likely to become more extreme if the USDA does not change its proposal by May 23 because it eliminates much of the flexibility presently

given to U.S. packers. The proposed rule would force a total segregation of U.S.-born and Canadian-born animals so that food labels can clearly state where the animals were born, raised and slaughtered. It would also get rid of the one acceptable label that now describes meat as being a product of either the U.S. or Canada. SEE TEMPERS HEAT UP, PAGE 3

Farm support programs As a result, they are eligible to receive more money when income is volatile. In 2009, the average value of government payments to farms with sales of more than $2.5 million was $197,821, compared to less than $20,000 for farms with sales of $250,000 to $500,000. Average support for farms with sales of $1 to $2.5 million received almost $70,000 in government support payments. Much of the money was used to invest in machinery and land, which increase growth, profitability and productivity of the largest operations. “Apart from net income, government payments were a major source of investment financing for large farms and particularly million dollar farms,” said the report. “Payments as a percentage of sales decreased over the decade for all farms but the farms selling over $1 million.” The report, Investment and Growth on Canadian Farms 2001-2009, also argued that the structure of BRM programs discourages farm environmental investments, particularly on small farms. In Ontario, the maximum support a farmer can receive for environmental program investment is $30,000, “while payments under the AgriStability program can go as high as $3 million at a pretty low cost to the farm.” It also argued that existing income stabilization programs have not served cattle and pork industries well. “Programs that support struggling sectors like beef and hog in their efforts to modernize and remain competitive seem to be needed.” Post-doctoral associate Nicoleta Uzea, an author of the report with agri-food innovation chair David Sparling, said the report is not arguing in favour of large or small operations. “We find that existing programs shift income and government help to the largest farms,” she said. “We are not promoting the large farms or the small farms. I think both sets have a role to play in the farm economy.” She said larger farms are more productive, but smaller farms contribute to local economies, local communities and the growing market for local food. “The indications are that existing programs need to be reworked or perhaps new programs should be created that are more effective,” said Uzea. The report said larger farmers were more likely to invest in their operations and increase their investment year to year. Smaller farmers more typically invested in environmental

protection programs or house construction. “As a result, large farmers will likely enjoy increased productivity and competitiveness, which will mean more incentives and resources to invest in the farm,” it said. “In contrast, the productivity and competitiveness of small farms will likely continue to erode.” The report suggested federal and provincial governments consider investment tax credits for farmers. However, care would have to be taken to make sure it was not simply another disproportionate tax dollar advantage for the largest farms. “The policy objectives for this kind of program must be clear,” said Sparling and Uzea. “If it is to increase competitiveness of all Canadian farms, then it will be critically important that the program is designed so that small farms can take advantage of it. This could help break the downward spiral of profitability and investment on small farmers.”

LEVELLING THE LOAD

U.S. biggest loser if COOL fails to comply with WTO U.S. beef and pork sector at ‘grave risk’ if Canada and Mexico choose to retaliate BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

An analyst thinks there’s a chance Canada’s dispute with the United States over country-of-origin labelling could end sooner than many expect. As well, alarm is growing south of the border about Canadian trade retaliation if COOL problems are not fixed. “It could be far closer to the backend (of the dispute). You’re almost done, perhaps,” said Al Mussell of the George Morris Centre in Guelph, Ont. Mussell said the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s proposed amendments to COOL rules seem provocatively discriminatory against Canadian and Mexican livestock, but this might simply be the U.S. “playing for time” as a new U.S. trade representative is appointed. As well, the amendments may never be enacted if enough U.S. interests complain. He said it’s too early to assume the COOL situation will get worse, that Canada won’t eventually win its battle and that the industry has a poor future. “We don’t know what’s really going on in the U.S.,” Mussell said. The amendments to the COOL labelling rules have to be in place by May 23 for the U.S. to be able to claim it has altered COOL to comply with the World Trade Organization. If the U.S. does not alter COOL by then, Canada and Mexico can immediately apply to the WTO to approve retaliatory measures against U.S. products. However, the amendments themselves would bring even more WTO action and dispute because almost everyone sees them as even more trade discriminatory. “Nobody believes that what they propose is truly in compliance,” said Mussell. The U.S. has much to lose if Canada receives permission to hit U.S. meat sales to Canada. Canada is the U.S.’s biggest buyer of beef, importing 467.2 million pounds worth $1.148 billion, or 21.2 percent of the overall value of U.S. beef exports in 2012, according to U.S. analysts Steve Meyer and Len Steiner. Canada is the fourth-largest buyer of U.S. pork, with steadily rising imports hitting almost 600 million pounds in 2012. Many analysts and industry officials say that shows why the U.S. should desire a free flow of livestock and meat. “Regardless of your opinion of the value or need for origin labelling, the goal here must be to avoid retaliatory tariffs on U.S. products,” Meyer and Steiner said in a March 13 commentary. “Should the U.S. actions be deemed insufficient, Canada and Mexico will

It’s in their own interests that they comply. They’re a major exporter of a wide array of products. If everybody starts ignoring the WTO rules, the Americans will be the worst hit. AL MUSSELL GEORGE MORRIS CENTRE

have great latitude in picking the retaliation targets, and U.S. beef and pork are logical choices,” they said. “Any way you cut it, Canada and Mexico are critical for U.S. beef and pork shipments and in spite of, or perhaps because of, USDA’s proposed rule change, are at grave risk.” Manitoba Pork Council general manager Andrew Dickson said U.S. pork sales to Canada are substantial, drawing farmer ire and making them a likely target. “What’s really annoying is that the Americans have captured almost a third of the Canadian market,” said Dickson. “That’s because we have few barriers.” The COOL dispute could last for months or years longer if the USDA digs in its heels and forces Mexico and Canada to fight their way through the entire process. However, Mussell said he’s hopeful the department might fold as soon as the WTO rules that the U.S. has not complied with its demands. That hope is based on Canada’s response to a dairy dispute a few years ago. In that situation, the U.S. complained about Canada protecting its domestic dairy market but allowing exports into foreign markets. The U.S. won an appeal to the WTO, but Canada responded by modifying its rules in a way that further annoyed the Americans. Mussell said Canada quickly folded and abandoned its questionable actions when it was found to have failed to deal adequately with the original WTO ruling. The same could happen here, and in general the U.S. administration likely understands that it doesn’t want to be playing too much into protectionist sentiments. “It’s in their own interests that they comply. They’re a major exporter of a wide array of products,” he said. “If everybody starts ignoring the WTO rules, the Americans will be the worst hit.”

COOL | CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE

Tempers heat up over COOL proposal The new rules would require each stage of the animal’s life to be detailed, forcing different labelling for entirely U.S. animals, entirely foreign animals and animals with mixed histories. Many elements of Canada’s livestock industry are affected by the proposed changes, including slaughter hogs, feeder cattle, slaughter cattle and breeding stock, although most of them would be redirected into the Canadian domestic market. However, weanling hog producers generally don’t have domestic alternatives. The millions of weanlings produced in southern Manitoba are designed to meet the needs of Minnesota and Iowa hog producers, who are in closer proximity to Manitoba than to the western Prairies or Ontario and Quebec. As well, Manitoba’s moratorium on new hog barn construction doesn’t allow weanling producers to build new feeder barns in the province, and getting hog barn approvals in other provinces is a time-consuming process. Weanling producers suffered great financial losses when COOL was first

imposed in 2009 as U.S. farmers slashed their imports of Canadian piglets. However, sales resumed as the U.S. industry learned to live with the new rules. Dickson said Manitoba’s exports fell to almost zero for a few weeks from a pre-COOL rate of 120,000 piglets per week and have since crept back up to 65,000 per week. Manitoba’s pre-COOL slaughter hog exports have also slumped, falling to 165,000 hogs per year, mostly sows, from a one-time rate of one million. Packers organized their plants so that some would mostly or entirely buy Canadian or mixed U.S. and Canadian pigs, while others would

process only U.S. born and raised pigs. Farmers learned to live with new delivery schedules and more record-keeping. However, Canadians fear that the new proposed rule could prompt some packing plants to stop taking Canadian pigs and possibly cause some to close. University of Missouri hog industry analyst Ron Plain said Canadianborn pigs comprise only four to fourand-a half percent of U.S. slaughter hogs, which could be considered small. However, that isn’t true for certain regions of the U.S., where Canadian-born pigs make up a sizeable chunk of the slaughter flow. “Packers in the upper Midwest have a much higher percentage,” said Plain. “It’s not evenly spread across the country.” Maple Leaf ’s slaughter plant in Brandon added its second shift the same year COOL was imposed, but that hasn’t helped weanling producers. They must wait for the May 23 deadline to see how their weanlings will be treated and then live with the new reality as long as it lasts.

Ruling gives unpaid farmers new hope in Puratone case

As a farmer, I’m starting to feel like, why am I shy about this? I should actually put on there, ‘proudly contains GMOs.’ FRANCK GROENEWEG VICE-CHAIR, SASKATCHEWAN CANOLA DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION

Manitoba judge sets aside $5M for future claims BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

CANOLA | GM PRODUCTS

Farmers seeking compensation for unpaid grain deliveries to a Manitoba hog company may have a chance to recover their losses. On March 12, a Manitoba judge charged with dispersing money from Puratone, which entered creditor protection last fall, decided to set $5 million aside for future claims against the firm’s financial assets. The decision means that John Sigurdson, who delivered more than $60,000 in feed grain to Puratone’s mill in Arborg, Man., last September, might recoup some or all of his losses. “I’ve always been hopeful,” said Sigurdson, who farms near Riverton, Man. “I think everybody in (the group) is more hopeful now.” Puratone, one of the largest hog production companies in Canada, announced in September after a summer of record feed prices that it had applied for creditor protection. Dozens of Manitoba farmers who delivered grain to Puratone’s feed mills in Winkler, Niverville and Arborg never received payment for their grain and suffered losses from $30,000 to $300,000. Puratone owed its creditors nearly $100 million, including $86 million to secured creditors: Bank of Montreal, Farm Credit Canada and the Manitoba Agricultural Services Corp. Affected farmers assumed Maple Leaf Foods would cover their losses when it bought Puratone’s hog barns and feed mills for $42 million in early November. However, Maple Leaf is not legally responsible for the company’s debts because it bought only Puratone’s assets. In December, 17 producers who delivered grain to Puratone formed Disgruntled Farmers Seek Justice. “There’s still 17 of us together, just like we were from the beginning,” said Sigurdson. The group is owed $910,000 for unpaid grain sales. The judge presiding over the March 12 court hearing was expected to dispense $42 million to the company’s secured creditors, but instead paid $37 million to creditors and held the rest back for future claims. “What they did (the court) is divide up the money, but they put $5 million in trust. So we put a claim in against that money,” Sigurdson said. “We’re the only ones that have filed a claim so far. The banks, of course, feel that it’s their money, so they’ll be putting a claim against it also.” Sigurdson will be back in court April 11 to make the case that unpaid farmers are owed a portion of the $5 million. Sigurdson doesn’t expect a speedy resolution to the case. Other claimants, including FCC and BMO, will likely make presentations to the court. “I think it’s going to be more than one more session,” he said. “I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if we’re still going next fall.”

Retailers embracing GM labelling in Canada, U.S. Canola concerns | 17 percent of shoppers think GM products pose health hazard STORIES BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

VANCOUVER — GM labelling is coming soon to a store near you. Whole Foods Market recently announced that all products in its U.S. and Canadian stores must be labelled by 2018 to indicate whether they contain genetically modified ingredients. The company bills itself as the world’s leader in natural and organic foods, with more than 340 grocery stores in North America and the United Kingdom. This won’t be an isolated case, Elizabeth Sloan told the Canola Council of Canada’s 2013 annual convention held in Vancouver March 14-15.

ELIZABETH SLOAN SLOAN TRENDS INC.

“If there is anyone in this room who thinks that GMOs are not going to be an issue, I’m telling you you’re smoking dope,” said Sloan, president of Sloan Trends Inc., a California company that studies food trends. She recently attended the Natural Products Expo West trade show in Anaheim, California, where thousands of food retailers showcased their latest healthy food offerings. “Nearly 90 percent of them had GMOfree on the label,” said Sloan.

The GMO issue didn’t die with Proposition 37, a failed attempt to introduce mandatory GM labelling in California. Sloan said 30 U.S. states are considering GM labelling, and there is talk from senior Walmart officials that the company will no longer oppose labelling legislation. The scary part for the canola industry is that 17 percent of shoppers consider GM products to be a “serious health hazard.” Sales of certified GMO-free food products are up 25 percent in the U.S. marketplace compared to a 17 percent increase for certified fair trade products. The canola council supports voluntary labelling over mandatory labelling, but considers all labelling to be unnecessary. “We think labelling should be on the basis of nutrition and any health concerns, and there’s no scientific evidence whatsoever that genetically engineered canola is a health risk,” said canola council president Patti Miller. However, one canola industry official thinks it’s time to embrace GM labelling. Franck Groeneweg, vice-chair of the Saskatchewan Canola Development Commission, agreed there is no scientific justification for labelling GM products, but he wonders why the canola industry fears it so much. He believes the industry has a great “feel good” story to tell because GM canola has resulted in reduced fuel and pesticide use, decreased soil erosion and improved yields to help feed a growing world population. Future traits could provide improved water and nitrogen use efficiency.

“On one side we say that we have a great system and we’re benefitting the world with the way we farm with GMOs and on the other side we’re reluctant, we kind of apologize, just about, and we don’t want it on the label,” said Groeneweg during an interview at the convention. He said an estimated 70 percent of items on grocery store shelves contain at least some GM corn, soybeans or canola ingredients. Rather than fearing GM labels, he thinks it could be turned into a marketing advantage if consumers are properly educated on the benefits of GM crops. “As a farmer, I’m starting to feel like, why am I shy about this? I should actually put on there, ‘proudly contains GMOs.’ ”

CANOLA | OIL

Canola poised for banner year?

McCain Foods Canada calls for even healthier canola oil

Projections for growth | Canola Council forecasts 15 million tonnes in 2013 VANCOUVER — The canola industry is on pace to meet what was once described as a “big, hairy and audacious” 2015 production goal two years ahead of schedule. The Canola Council of Canada raised eyebrows in 2007 when it released its Going Great 2015 plan that called for 15 million tonnes of production by 2015. Fast forward six years and Agriculture Canada is forecasting 15.5 million tonnes of canola production in 2013. “We’re going to break the 15 million tonne barrier this year, so we really have to be ready with a new strategy and new goals,” said council president Patti Miller. “We thought 15 million tonnes was a huge goal, and it was, but we got there fast.” The council is conducting analytical work and making market projections in preparation for establishing new objectives. Miller said the board of directors will start charting a new course for the industry in the next few months

and hopes the strategy will be made public by the end of the year. However, not everybody is popping champagne corks over the industry’s achievement. Former CWB director Butch Harder took Miller to task at the council’s annual convention for what he considers a misguided objective to push farmers to grow 15 million tonnes of canola. “That has always bothered me,” he said during the question and answer session following Miller’s speech to delegates. Harder said 15 million tonnes of production is unsustainable and is forcing farmers to push rotations and expand canola production into areas where the crop shouldn’t be planted. “I don’t think that’s really very good policy,” he said. Miller said 15 million tonnes is sustainable and thinks growers will be capable of producing more with the proper investment in research. The council has approached the federal government to secure continued research and development

funding for the industry. It received $14.5 million in multiyear science cluster funding through Growing Forward 1, but that program ends March 31. The council has applied for more funding through Growing Forward 2 but won’t specify how much it is seeking. It has also applied for market development and market access funding. In 2012-13, it received $1.2 million through the agri-marketing program, which was matched by industry support. Miller said canola, which was once again the top revenue-generating crop for farmers last year, has a compelling case for continued government investment in research and market development. “We’ll see what the next budget brings, but I think the canola council is well positioned to continue with that partnership with the federal government,” she said. “The opportunities for strong, strong support from the government are there.”

CANOLA | EXPORTS

Sluggish export pace expected to pick up More wheat moving out of West Coast terminals means fewer canola shipments VANCOUVER — Canola exports are off to a slow start but should pick up during the second half of the marketing year, say industry officials. Canada shipped 4.8 million tonnes of seed between Aug. 1, 2012, and March 10, 2013, according to the Canadian Grain Commission. That is 18 percent below the export pace for the same period a year ago. Agriculture Canada is forecasting 7.2 million tonnes of exports for the 2012-13 campaign, which would be 17 percent below the previous year’s totals because of a smaller crop. As a a result, it would appear that the pace through week 32 of the 2012-13 crop year is where it should be. However, some industry officials think sales are going to pick up in the remaining months of the year. “It’s just a timing thing,” said Adrian Man, assistant vice-presi-

dent for Asia Pacific with Richardson International. He believes the transition to an open market disrupted the normal flow of canola out of West Coast ports during the first half of the year. “Without the Canadian Wheat Board’s monopoly, the (grain) companies are exporting wheat a little earlier than what the wheat board did,” he said during an interview at the Canola Council of Canada’s annual meeting. More wheat moving out of the West Coast means fewer canola shipments, but Man believes grain and oilseed exports will be higher by the end of the marketing year than they were in 2011-12. Patti Miller, president of the Canola Council of Canada, said a disappointing 2012 harvest has caused supply challenges, but she agreed the pace of shipments will pick up in the second half of the year.

“I wouldn’t want to characterize that (18) percent drop over a few months as being indicative of the full year,” she said. “The market will take what we can produce.” Man said rain delays have been a problem at the Port of Vancouver. Some shippers are three weeks behind on their export programs. Terminals at the port have been coming up with innovative ways to load vessels while it’s raining, such as using tarps or loading vessels with feeder hoses. “There’s a lot of new ideas and new innovations being put in (practice) to make sure the system works,” he said. Man said there has also been a problem with not enough rail cars in the country, but that should improve when the weather warms up and car cycle times become faster.

VANCOUVER — The world’s leading french fry manufacturer wants even healthier canola oil. “Keep pushing the bar,” McCain Foods Canada president Darryl Rowe told the Canola Council of Canada’s annual convention. “Keep finding new ways to make oils better and better because that’s going to have a very powerful impact on our ability to be successful for many, many years to come.” Rowe estimates McCain buys three percent of North America’s annual canola oil production, but its consumption has been falling because of slumping french fry sales. Servings of french fries at restaurants are down 10 percent since 2006 as health conscious consumers avoid one of North America’s favourite fast foods. Fries have garnered a reputation as an empty calorie white food that is fattening, heavily processed and extruded. The snack food is under attack in ads produced by groups such as the Ontario Medical Association and the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada. McCain has switched to using 100 percent canola oil because consumers recognize it as a healthy oil. He encouraged the industry not to rest on its laurels. “I really want to emphasize the importance of continued innovation in oil,” he said. He also wants the canola council to work with the potato industry on its Alliance for Potato Research and Education (APRE) initiative, which uses science to address some of the health and wellness concerns surrounding potatoes. The United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization has recognized that potatoes are rich in carbohydrates and vitamin C and contain the highest protein content of any root or tuber. Rowe said the canola industry has a vested interest in helping the potato industry polish its tarnished image because the french fry industry buys 10 percent of North America’s annual canola oil production. He emphasized the importance of rapidly addressing the mounting health and wellness concerns. “We need to do what we need to do faster. We haven’t been quick

enough to respond.” He said there is plenty of misinformation that needs to be corrected. For example, a recent survey of British parliamentarians discovered that half of them didn’t know french fries come from potatoes. “That’s what we’re up against,” said Rowe. “What they hell did they think they came from?” However, it’s not a lost cause. Chicken wings are a fried food that is showing up on more menus in more restaurants across North America at escalating prices. “To me, it’s a great example of how we need to keep working our particular agenda,” he said. Consumers are time-starved and seeking more convenience. “I don’t know how you’re going to get food fast if you decide that frying is not going to be part of the process,” said Rowe.

McCain is attempting to respond to the push for healthier food by introducing new product lines such as red skin wedges, sweet potato fries and potatovegetable combos. However, the company’s longterm success depends on restoring the french fry business. One company initiative is to respond to the trend toward homemade food. It is a growing fad among younger consumers, even though many of them have never cooked anything in the kitchen before.

Where soybeans go, canola follows Outlooks similar | Long-term forecasts show growing production of canola and soybeans worldwide BY SEAN PRATT

OILSEEDS BOUNCE BACK

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

VANCOUVER — Old crop soybeans require demand destruction in the form of higher prices, says Informa Economics. And when soybeans prices rise, canola values usually follow. Informa believes the United States had 940 million bushels of soybeans on hand as of March 1 to meet customer needs for the rest of the season. It is the lowest supplies have ever been at that time of year. Rob Westmoreland, Informa’s executive vice-president, can’t fathom how the industry will end up with the 125 million bu. of soybean ending stocks that the U.S. Department of Agriculture is forecasting for Aug. 31, given the pace of exports and crush. “How we cut demand through the remainder of the season to achieve that remains a very interesting mystery,” he told the Canola Council of Canada convention. One theory is the U.S. will import soybeans from Brazil and Argentina to meet the needs of U.S. crushers, but Westmoreland said North America isn’t geared up to import soybeans. “We (would) have to run our system backwards,” he said. “To run our crushing industry on imported soybeans becomes a real problem.” He believes the only realistic answer is to discourage export and crusher demand by raising old crop soybean prices. “It doesn’t appear that the demand

Informa Economics expects big growth in global oilseed production in 2013. It sees a major recovery in U.S. soybean production and a new record in Argentina, although Brazil’s crop, to be harvested in 2014, will likely be smaller than this year’s bin buster. Canola/rapeseed production is expected to climb eight percent thanks to bigger crops in Canada and the European Union.

CONTRACTS | K.C. TO CHICAGO

Canadian traders like what Kansas City Board of Trade contracts are offering HEDGE ROW

ED WHITE

ansas City wheat futures and options are fitting in with many farmers’ hedging needs, right when Kansas City Board of Trade operations are getting yanked north to Chicago. But prairie farm marketing advisers expect the move to a new home will make the former KCBT contracts work better than before. “We’ve been using Kansas City a lot lately,” said AgriTrend Marketing president Derek Squair.

“We’re having to use Kansas more. We’re seeing a lot more of our producers grow CPS reds, winter wheats, general purpose wheats.” While most prairie farmers still grow quality, hard red spring wheat with high protein, more are either seeding different types of wheat because the end of the CWB monopoly offers new opportunities, or are growing the crop for high yield and forgetting about protein levels. Three active wheat futures contracts provide direct wheat price risk hedging opportunities for farmers. The Minneapolis Grain Exchange hard red spring wheat contract is the closest to the kind of wheat most prairie farmers have grown in recent decades, with a protein specification of 13.5 percent and a close relationship to prairie wheat prices, but it has the lowest liquidity of the three major contracts.

The Kansas City wheat futures contract uses 11 percent protein hard red winter wheat as its underlying specification. It’s a kind of wheat that can be used for bread or baked goods. Chicago wheat futures are designed to represent soft red winter wheat, and no protein spec is listed. It is used in pastries, cake and cookies. The Chicago Mercantile Exchange, which owns the Chicago Board of Trade, recently bought the KCBT and is transferring its contracts and operations to Chicago. The pit trade will be beside the CBOT wheat pit and the KCBT wheat contract will use the CME’s electronic trading platform. Some hedgers are favouring Kansas City wheat futures because they are somewhat similar to Minneapolis wheat specs, but are more liquid. The more liquidity, the easier and cheaper it is for hedgers to use. That’s an especially important fac-

tor for options users, since options are always less liquid, more finicky and complicated. If a futures contract has weak liquidity, its options contracts are likely to be worse still. That’s why Squair said he uses mostly Chicago wheat futures rather than Kansas City or Minneapolis options. Liquidity is king and even Kansas City options strike him as too expensive and lacking liquidity. That’s Errol Anderson’s view too. The Calgary Pro Market adviser, who specializes in options, uses only the Chicago wheat contract for options, because it has the healthiest liquidity and getting in and out of a position affordably is essential. But he also often uses Chicago corn options to hedge prairie wheat prices, since corn prices tend to lead the grain price complex and Chicago corn is super-liquid, which means

low premiums. With wheat options, it’s hard to go more than four months out because premiums get too high, he said. Anderson and Squair said they hope Kansas City wheat options get more liquid now that the two wheat options communities of Kansas City and Chicago will be under the CME/ CBOT umbrella. More spread trading of futures will help the two contracts increase liquidity, they hope, and give the options a better base to build from. Some traders and analysts have said they hope Kansas City can expand and become the dominant wheat futures contract because it is the biggest U.S. wheat crop in volume. Also, it straddles the middle of the wheat quality spectrum and does a fairly good job of reflecting what is occurring with overall wheat complex prices.

ROB WESTMORELAND INFORMA

“The necessary conclusion is that you’ve got to pop prices, at least relative to new crop, enough to accomplish that task both for canola and for soybeans.” He believes old crop soybean prices could rise “several dollars per bushel” to discourage end user demand. There is already a considerable inverse in the soybean market, with the May futures contract worth substantially more than the November contract. “It shows you we are in uncharted territory. We have not had soybeans so tight,” said Westmoreland. A nice boost in world supplies is on the way with 83.5 million tonnes of Brazilian soybeans and 51.5 million tonnes from Argentina forecast to hit the market. The South American harvest has started, and Brazilian ports are already congested. U.S. soybean production is also expected to recover. Informa forecasts a 92.6 million tonne crop in 2013-14, which is about the same as the USDA’s forecast. The USDA’s estimate was based on a 77.5 million acre crop and Informa’s on 78.8 million acres. However, both of those are outdated assumptions. Westmoreland said corn’s net revenue advantage over soybeans has eroded because of falling prices in February and March. He thinks there could be 80 million acres of soybeans, which would boost world supplies even further. Informa is forecasting 280 million tonnes of world soybean production in 2013, up from 268 million tonnes in 2012 and 239 million tonnes in 2010. Westmoreland expects new crop values similar to 2010, below $12 per bu. If a large U.S. corn crop pushes corn prices down to $4 per bu., then growers should expect soybean prices to be even lower. He believes it’s possible that the spread between July and November futures contracts could reach $2.50 per bu. The outlook for canola is similar to soybeans, characterized by shortterm tightness followed by ample new crop supplies. Informa forecasts 16.5 million tonnes of Canadian canola production in 2013-14, which would result in 1.16 million tonnes of carryout, more than double the 527,000 tonnes forecast for this year. However, that outlook is based on 21.3 million acres of the crop, while Westmoreland said the trade consensus is closer to 20.5 million acres. As a result, Informa’s production forecast may be a little optimistic.

China remains strong market for canola Sustainable growth | Demand for canola continues to rise in many Asian markets BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

VANCOUVER — Canola is being sold into the right markets, based on a global economic outlook prepared by the Conference Board of Canada. China has become Canada’s top customer for the oilseed, and there is no sign of any let-up in that market. The Chinese government has established a new five-year target of 7.5 percent sustained annual economic growth. Glen Hodgson, chief economist with the conference board, expects China to achieve that target. He is forecasting eight percent annual growth through 2020 and then a tapering off to 4.5 percent between 2021 and 2035 as the economy matures. China also has rising incomes and soaring protein demand. “If I was selling canola, that’s clearly the go-to market,” said Hodgson. However, factors that will keep the country from sustaining eight percent annual growth after 2020 include its one-child policy and the Communist government. “The real kicker is, when is China going to grow up and become a more democratic society?” he said. The entire Asia Pacific region “is where it’s at” when looking into the future. “It’s led by China, but it’s not just China,” said Hodgson. South Korea, Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia are all interesting prospects as potential trading partners. Japan is the one exception in the region. Canada’s second largest canola customer has the highest public debt levels in the world, a shrinking population and the world’s oldest demographic, with more than one-quarter of its citi-

zens older than 65. “It’s kind of like a train wreck in slow motion,” said Hodgson. He expects Japan to be a one percent growth economy for the next couple of years compared to seven percent for the rest of the Asia Pacific region. The United States is an important seed customer and by far the top buyer of Canadian canola oil. Hodgson said the economy is slowly recovering from recession. “We’re forecasting what I would call tepid growth, or maybe a more sophisticated word would be crummy growth of 2.25 percent this year,” he said. The private sector is functioning the way it should. Commercial bank lending has been on a steady climb since January 2011, vehicle sales are up, housing prices and housing starts are on the rise, consumer spending is up and there has been job creation every month for two years. “If the private sector was all by itself in the U.S., it would be growing at three percent. But government is taking out a full percentage point or more of the U.S. economy,” said Hodgson. U.S. net debt is approaching 80 percent of the country’s gross domestic product, which is the point where the country could lose its AAA bond rating. There are no signs the U.S. Congress can get its act together to rein in a federal deficit that will once again exceed $1 trillion in 2013. The outlook is pretty grim for Western Europe, where Germany is expected to lead the way with a GDP growth of 0.5 percent in 2013. “Everybody else is in recession,” said Hodgson. Greece is in the fourth year of economic contraction and hasn’t hit bottom. Spain and Portugal are

trying to avoid bailouts from the European Union. “Even Britain is flirting with recession, so it’s tough times in Europe,” he said. Russia has become “the real laggard” of the Brazil-Russia-IndiaChina (BRIC) countries, with life expectancy falling by five years since the end of the Soviet Union. “Russian males are drinking themselves to death. It’s tragic, but it’s true,” said Hodgson. The Russian economy is expected to grow by three percent a year through 2020 and then slow to two percent through 2035. “It’s kind of a false democracy. (Russian president Vladimir) Putin has turned it back into a quasi-dictatorship,” he said. India is expected to perform extremely well in the years ahead. “The high growth market for the world going forward is going to be India,” said Hodgson. The Indian economy is expected to expand at a clip of seven percent a year through 2020 and then cool off to a still impressive six percent through 2035. Indian women have an average of 3.25 children, which will enable the economy to continue expanding. Hodgson said India is 10 years behind China in economic development. Latin America is another big growth market. Gross domestic product is expected to expand by 3.5 to four percent per year in 2013 and 2014, led by the economies of Brazil, Peru and Chile. “Unfortunately, Argentina seems to be heading back to a basket case,” he said. “Every 10 years Argentina has a crisis and they’re probably building up to one right now.” Venezuela is another “really scary case.” The country has mas-

sive oil exports but large current account and fiscal deficits caused by bad management. Mexico, an important buyer of Canadian canola seed, is becoming a more attractive market as the government embraces economic reform. The economy is expected to grow by 3.25 to four percent per year in 2013 and 2014. Hodgson said the Canadian dollar will likely trade around par with the U.S. dollar “from here until the horizon.” Canola Council of Canada president Patti Miller was pleased with what she heard. “It really confirms that the markets that we’re working in are the markets that we should be focused on,” she said.

India’s refusal to lower price may hinder wheat exports

ICE Futures Canada cuts hours

Excess supply leads to waste | The country’s storage capacity is already maxed out and another bumper crop is expected NEW DELHI/SINGAPORE (Reuters) — India is holding firm to a price of $300 a tonne for its wheat despite falling global prices. It sets the scene once again for piles of rotting grain, even though it needs to feed its half a billion poor. Plans by the world’s second-largest wheat producer to export record volumes are now under threat after the central government stuck to the price for tenders when it met private exporters earlier this month. Although India is already making a loss at $300, its price is not low enough to compete against higher quality Australian and U.S. wheat. India recently approved exports of five million tonnes direct to private traders, on top of 4.5 million tonnes already approved for tenders by state-run companies. “The very idea of exporting wheat to liquidate stocks will get defeated, as exports will slow down if the government maintains its stand of not selling below $300 a tonne,” said Tejinder Narang, an adviser at leading New Delhi-based exporter Emmsons International. Last year, pictures in newspapers of rotting grain stocks caused embarrassment to the government. This year, grain stocks have already surpassed the country’s secure storage capacity of 47 million tonnes, risking damage from pests and

weather. Another bumper harvest of 92 million tonnes is on the way. Global wheat prices have fallen more than 10 percent since February, and now India’s product cannot compete with better quality Australian and U.S. grain. New crop Black Sea supplies are already selling more cheaply. Farm minister Sharad Pawar and food minister K.V. Thomas, who have sparred over export policy in the past, now agree that exports should not fall below prices being offered to domestic biscuit makers and flour mills. That level of $300 a tonne free on board is below the government’s cost of $325 a tonne, taking into account prices to domestic farmers, local levies, transport to warehouses and storage. The floor price has also been fixed for private exporters who will directly

buy the extra five million tonnes just offered. Three million tonnes have been sold under a tender mechanism set up to sell 4.5 million tonnes through state-run companies. The highest bids received by staterun firms in their latest wheat export tenders were $301 and $305 a tonne f.o.b. Bids around $305 a tonne f.o.b. for Indian wheat are from traders who have already sold at higher levels and need to cover those deals, said a Singapore-based trader. Australian wheat, which is of superior quality, is only $10 a tonne more expensive than Indian wheat, down from a gap of $25 to $30 a few months ago, traders said. As well, buyers have already started placing orders for Black Sea wheat, offered around $300 a tonne, including cost, insurance and freight, into Southeast Asia, versus Indian prices of $315 to $320 a tonne for July shipment. Private traders such as Cargill, Louis Dreyfus and Glencore will not buy at these levels, eyeing harvests to come from the United States and Ukraine. “The way prices are going, I think the government will have to come up with a solution if it wants to maintain the current level of close to 500,000 tonnes a month of exports,” said another Singapore-based trader.

WINNIPEG (Reuters) — ICE Futures Canada says it will close earlier starting April 8 for all grain and oilseed futures and options products, reversing an extension made to the closing time in June. ICE Canada, an electronic exchange based in Winnipeg, will move up the closing time to 1:15 p.m. Central time from the current 2 p.m. close for canola, milling wheat, durum and barley trading. “A lot of these extended hours have just proven to be nothing, just stretching the trade out but not accomplishing anything,” said PI Financial futures and options broker

U.S. SOIL MOISTURE | CROP OUTLOOK

Kansas wheat improves; corn planting gets underway CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — The condition of the hard red winter wheat crop in Kansas, the biggest U.S. wheat production state, improved in the latest week but farmers were still concerned about soil moisture levels, according to a government report. The Kansas wheat crop was rated 29 percent good to excellent as of March 17, up two percentage points from a week earlier, according to the Kansas field office of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service. Most of the state received only light rain during the week and top soil moisture was rated 49 percent short or very short. In southern areas of the country,

farmers were getting a fast start on spring planting. Corn seeding in Louisiana was 56 percent complete, up from 35 percent a year ago and well ahead of the five-year average for mid-March of 21 percent. Rice planting was 25 percent finished compared to five-year average of eight percent and NASS’s Louisiana office said weather conditions were excellent. In Texas, 42 percent of the corn crop was planted, ahead of the five-year average of 33 percent. Wheat was rated 16 percent good to excellent and windy conditions depleted some of the already sparse soil moisture during the past week.

Restrictions on ractopamine use in pork pressure hog prices lower

he market effects of the United States’ trade issues with China and Russia over the use of the livestock growth promoter ractopamine are starting to be felt. The U.S. dollar’s recent rally against major world currencies is also affecting trade. The international market has become an important component of the U.S. pork sector, and the problem of access to important importers is hurting pork prices, which in turn is limiting beef prices. Canadian livestock prices are closely linked to American trends, so the impact is felt here, too. Chris Hurt, an agricultural economist with Purdue University, wrote in a recent column that the volume of pork exports in 2012 represented 23 percent of total U.S. production. Japan was the biggest U.S. pork buyer last year, taking six percent of total production. China took 3.4 percent and Russia bought 1.2 percent. Problems in meat trade and prices are reflected in hog and cattle prices. The estimated U.S. pork carcass cutout fell to $79.05 per hundredweight March 15 from $86.81 Feb. 1.

Trade issues could stall the usual spring livestock and meat rally that accompanies the increase in meat demand as barbecue season begins in North America. | FILE PHOTO April Chicago lean hog futures fell to $80 March 18 from $89 per cwt. Feb. 1. There is potential that these trade problems could stall the usual spring livestock and meat rally that accompanies the increase in meat demand as barbecue season begins in North America. The issues with ractopamine, which is sold under the commercial name Paylean, are related partly to politics.

Analysts say Russia’s ban on American meat from animals using the product is partly retaliation against other American actions, while China’s restriction is partly driven by its efforts to support the Chinese domestic pork industry. However, the bans are not all posturing. Taiwan and the European Union also have restrictions on meat from animals treated with ractopamine.

Feedlots had little market power because packers had large captive supplies. Strong beef cut-out prices two weeks ago dissipated late last week as buyers balked at the high prices and falling pork prices provided stiff competition. The strong cutout had been caused by the slow deliveries in the United States when a series of blizzards prevented travel and slowed cattle weight gain. U.S. beef cutouts fell sharply by the end of last week. That pressured cattle futures lower. Western Canadian weighted average cash prices for the week were generally steady. No cash steer trade was reported, but a considerable volume was formula priced. Fed heifers averaged $113.34 per hundredweight, down two cents. Most of the dressed trade was at $190-$192 per cwt. delivered. U.S. plants were relatively well supplied, and interest in the cash market was almost non-existent despite weak basis levels.

CANFAX REPORT FED CATTLE STEADY

The situation will force the U.S. government and the livestock industry to weigh the economic cost of the loss of markets versus the economic benefits of using ractopamine, Hurt said the recent appreciation of the U.S. dollar is also affecting pork exports. Japan’s yen has dropped 12 percent in 2013 and 16 percent since last October. That means U.S. pork prices in Japan are higher by a similar percentage.

Weaker international demand means the pork market depends more on U.S. consumers, and they are under pressure from the end of a payroll tax holiday and high gasoline prices. The problems in pork wash over into the beef market, which had been hitting record highs in recent months because of reduced production and the small size of the North American cattle herd. Canfax noted last week that the spread between Choice beef and pork cut-out values is the widest since 2009, with the beef value about 2 1/2 times that of pork. Choice beef has been close to $200 per cwt. several times in the last year, but it will have trouble breaking through that barrier as long as much cheaper pork is available. Chicken is also providing strong competition. With these limits on meat demand and prices, livestock producers’ long held hope for a return to profitability depends more than ever on lower feedgrain prices.

rises in March compared to January and February, based on the five-year (2008-12) average. However, basis levels have been wide this month, even weaker than last fall when the packing plant in Brooks, Alta., was closed. The Alberta fed cash-to-futures basis closed at -$17.58, using the heifer weighted average price. Carryover from the past few weeks has caused a bit of a backup in feedlot inventory. Sales volume last week totalled 11,995, down three percent from the previous week. Weekly fed exports to March 2 totalled 8,816, up 10 percent from the previous week.

COWS RISE Non-fed demand and prices rose now that grilling season is just around the corner. D1, D2 cows ranged $70-$82 to average $75.92 per cwt. live. D3 ranged $62-$75 to average $67.90. Rail grade ranged $143-$148. Butcher bulls rose $2.69 to average $88.89 per cwt. Weekly western Canadian nonfed slaughter to March 9 fell three

HOGS FALL U.S. packers had more than enough supply to fill weak pork demand, and cash hogs fell. Hog futures fell 2.9 percent on the week, pressured by uneasiness about near-term cash prices. Pork exports are slow, and the number of market ready hogs is up a little from last year at this time. Iowa-southern Minnesota hogs traded at $56 US per hundredweight March 8 delivered to packing plants, up from $59 the previous week. The estimated pork carcass cutout dipped as low as $77.50 but closed at $79.05 March 15, up from $78.16 March 8. Weekly slaughter to March 16 was estimated at 2.203 million, little changed from 2.201 million the previous week. Last year, slaughter was 2.179 million.

BISON STEADY The Canadian Bison Association said grade A bulls in the desirable weight range sold at prices up to $3.70 Cdn per pound hot hanging weight. Grade A heifers sold up to $3.70.

COUNTRY-OF-ORIGIN LABELLING | CHANGES

CRAIG’S VIEW

Proposed COOL changes will hurt sector, economy

amous Canadian construction expert Mike Holmes has a useful motto: Make it right. Too bad he doesn’t have the ear of the United States Department of Agriculture, which has failed to make right its countryof-origin labelling rules so they do not discriminate against Canadian cattle and hogs. Earlier this month, the U.S. tabled proposed changes to COOL, ostensibly to comply with a World Trade Organization ruling that existing legislation was unfair to other countries. But rather than improve COOL, the proposed changes will make it worse. They appear to impose an even more onerous labelling regimen that would increase costs to U.S. packers and further discourage them from buying Canadian hogs and cattle. They would force segregation of U.S.born and Canadian-born animals so food labels would indicate each stage of life — where the animals were born, raised and slaughtered. That would replace the one dual-country label now allowed. Is this crock of official lard (another version of COOL) a political tactic meant only to temporarily appease Democratic supporters of the failed legislation, after which COOL will simply die a quiet death? Hog and cattle producers may hope so but only certain American politicians know the answer. And while we await that answer, Canadian politicians and those in the livestock industry must prepare retaliatory measures should the U.S. fail to make satisfactory changes to COOL by the May 23 deadline. Canada is not without clout in the matter. This country was the largest market for U.S. beef last year in terms of volume — 467 million pounds — and value, at an estimated $1.48 billion. The U.S. sold about 520 million lb. of pork to Canada in 2012, valued at $856 million. If retaliatory measures were to curtail the flow of U.S. meat into Canada, our southern neighbours would feel the pinch.

Analysis shows COOL has cost the Canadian livestock industries about $1 billion per year since the legislation was imposed in early 2009. Retaliatory tariffs are allowed to be equal to the calculated damage under WTO rules, so big dollars are involved, should it come to that. But it shouldn’t come to that, and for reasons even beyond economic damage to vital Canadian agricultural industries. Alteration or elimination of COOL has benefits for Americans too, and many of the major U.S. livestock groups know it. COOL has failed in its goal of promoting purchases of American meat. Most U.S. consumers aren’t even aware of the program. At the livestock industry level, many U.S. packers are struggling as the recession drags on. Several have been processing Canadian cattle and hogs for years and are still running at less than capacity. More onerous labelling rules could force refusal of Canadian livestock entirely because of extra expense. That, in turn, could push marginal processing plants into closure, damaging the U.S. economy and eliminating jobs. Meat — safe, high quality beef and pork from animals raised under virtually the same conditions in the U.S. and Canada — could become more expensive for consumers. Federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz was characteristically direct in his response to COOL changes. He said the government will consider all options, including retaliatory measures, should the U.S. not comply with WTO directives by May 23. He must keep that firm stance. Canada has a lot to lose if satisfactory changes aren’t made to COOL. But if it flouts WTO rulings, the U.S. international trading powerhouse has even more to lose. The solution? Make it right.

FARM POLICY | ONTARIO

Farmers find themselves at centre of upcoming provincial election in Ontario NATIONAL VIEW

BARRY WILSON

armers in Ontario are receiving the most political attention they have attracted in years. A provincial election is possible as early as this spring after the minority Liberals present their first budget and important politicians are lining up to swear their fidelity to all things rural.

New Liberal premier Kathleen Wynne, an urban activist from Toronto, had earlier named herself the government’s agriculture minister with a vow to try to reclaim former Liberal strongholds in the countryside for a party that is now largely urban based. Last week, it was Tim Hudak’s turn. The Progressive Conservative leader is perceived to be the frontrunner to become premier, according to the polls, so there he was, front and centre as the PCs released their Paths To Prosperity, Respect for Rural Ontario policy paper. It begins with a full-page photo and then the leader’s claim to his rural connection and respect for agriculture as a research, economic and technology-leading sector. “It seems that the current government

needs a reminder of the importance of agriculture,” he said. “After all, it rivals the size of Ontario’s auto sector.” Hudak represents a Niagara-area riding, “where agriculture is the largest industry,” he wrote. “I’ve seen how our wineries, greenhouses, farms and research facilities have embraced new technologies over the years, reaching out to markets across Canada.” The NDP have yet to join the rural bandwagon, but an election campaign will likely change that. What’s going on? Clearly, rural Ontario holds a lot of seats in the Ontario legislature, and the loss of several of those seats in last year’s election over issues such as wind turbines cost the Liberals their majority.

However, like the federal Liberal party, the Ontario version has largely been abandoned by rural Canada — or abandoned it, depending on who is doing the analysis. It is difficult to imagine that much of the vast space between Ontario cities really is at play, but Wynne appears to be ready to give it her best shot, appearing at rural events and speaking about her commitment to rural issues, including local food. The budget this spring will tell the tale, but to date, there have been few specifics. However, all parties have committed to continue funding for the province’s $100 million Risk Management Program, which was started by the Liberals but shunned by the federal Conservatives. Last week’s PC policy paper is not

an election platform but it did make some promises: reducing subsidies for wind turbines, setting a provincial biofuel mandate, reducing bureaucracy and forms and supporting an Ontario Food Act that includes more emphasis on local food. “In order to succeed, our farmers and food processors need the right environment with lower taxes, more skilled labour and less red tape,” wrote agriculture critic Ernie Hardeman. For Ontario farm leaders, all this attention is a dream that some of their colleagues elsewhere can only imagine. It is their chance to make it clear to politicians on all sides what they need. And then it will be their job to make sure the promises are kept once the votes are counted, no matter who wins.

& OPEN FORUM HEALTH | DEFENDING WHEAT WEATHER | SNOW

Whole wheat grain essential part of diet BY RAVINDRA CHIBBAR

n his book, Wheat Belly, Dr. William Davis promotes a new fad diet that is devoid of wheat to overcome obesity. While Davis’s concerns about the obesity epidemic are laudable, his targeting of wheat as the cause is misguided at best and false and misleading at worst. Davis derides present-day highyielding dwarf wheat types as being somehow inferior to earlier varieties that grew shoulder high. However, these dwarf varieties have been the major cause of increased wheat yields, which have saved hundreds of millions of people from starvation and death. These highly productive varieties, now grown around the world, have more than tr ipled global wheat production from 230 million tonnes in 1960 to 704 million tonnes in 2011. This success was achieved by identifying natural genetic variation or creating it by processes such as gamma irradiation and treating a small sample of seeds with chemicals such as sodium azide. Davis correctly identifies this chemical as a toxin, but his claim that this constitutes a hazard in the grain we eat is false. These physical treatments and chemicals are transitory. Gamma radiation does not persist, and any chemicals used are washed away. Certainly, there is no possibility of transferring them to the progeny of treated wheat seeds. As well, Davis’ statement that

Calls to stop eating wheat because of problems caused by overconsumption are called wrongheaded. | FILE PHOTO hybridized wheat plants have altered proteins and are therefore harmful is illogical. All of our agricultural commodities have been hybridized over hundreds of years to improve yield and quality. Would he have us stop consuming all of them? Cereal grains store captured solar energy in the form of starch granules, which are the most compact form of glucose. This form of sugar is the fuel for every cell in all living organisms and hence the major source of energy for the survival of our civilization. Advances in wheat genetics and production technology have created ways to stave off hunger and starvation in

calorie deficient and underprivileged developing countries. The downside, if it can be called that, is that we now have an abundance of inexpensive food in developed countries. In the face of such abundance, some of us eat too much or choose unbalanced diets, and we now face an epidemic of obesity. There are many reasons for this, among them socioeconomic status, nutrition education and self control. However, Davis blames it all on wheat rather than the people who are inflicting their dietary choices on themselves. This situation is analogous to North America’s addiction to gasoline, which encourages us to avoid exer-

cise and contributes to the obesity epidemic. Shall we then abandon the internal combustion engine and go back to a previous age when people walked to their destinations and did not have the luxury of driving a block to get a loaf of bread? It would make as much sense as Davis’s suggestion that we should go back to cultivating ancient wheat varieties because we would also have to accept drastic reductions in grain yield and higher food prices. Doubling or tripling the price of a loaf of bread might be affordable for Davis, but it surely would not be welcomed by the poorest among us, who already struggle to put sufficient calories on the table. The Healthy Grains Institute was created in November 2012 in response to ongoing public misinformation to help inform Canadians about the health and nutrition benefits of whole grains. This not-for-profit institute will study current research and direct Canadians to science-based information on the role of whole grains in their diets, particularly as it relates to weight management and chronic disease prevention.

INTERNATIONAL AG | PANAMA

Canada, Panama have interesting similarities HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

here are many interesting parallels between grain farming in Western Canada and coffee production in Panama. Most people associate the Central American country with the Panama Canal. But outside of Panama City, agriculture is a big driver of the economy. There are bananas, rice, corn, sugarcane, a wide array of other fruits and vegetables — and coffee. Panama is booming, with growth rates far higher than even Saskatchewan. Coffee is the main crop in the widely dispersed community of

Boquete, not far from the border with Costa Rica, but there’s increasing competition for land as Panamanians and foreigners look for their own chunk of paradise. Panama has about a thousand coffee farms and 25 processing companies. Production is tiny compared to coffee producing giants such as Brazil, kind of like comparing Canada’s canola production to the Brazilian soybean crop. Award-winning Panamanian coffee beans command high prices in the world marketplace, but it’s still difficult to maintain the rich volcanic soil in coffee production when people are willing to pay exorbitant prices to build homes. Our coffee tour guide explained that much of the industry’s labour force comes from the seven First Nations tribes in the region. Now, he says, there is a new tribe — snowbirds. Everything has become more expensive in and around Boquete, making affordability for the working class a big issue. Manual labourers typically earn less than $20 a day.

While crime rates are low, many of the newcomers live in gated communities because they’re only around for a few months of the year. During the summer’s rainy season, people head back to their permanent homes in Panama City, the United States, Europe and Canada. Many of the beautiful valleys that were once coffee farms are now dotted with big houses and beautifully landscaped yards. It’s a bit like the Highway 2 corridor between Edmonton and Calgary, where pressure from population growth and industry is out-competing agriculture for land use. Just as there’s more than meets the eye in the production of grain, oilseeds and specialty crops, there’s also a lot involved in coffee production. Unlike Brazil, where coffee harvesting is mechanized, picking coffee fruit is done by hand in Panama, which allows much better control of the maturity. After picking and sorting comes floating, in which damaged coffee cherries rise to the top and are re-

moved. The beans are then squeezed out of the cherries. This is followed by fermentation of the beans, washing and drying. The beans are sorted by size, shape, density and colour, and their skins are peeled off after being aged in bags. Specialty coffee is much more valuable, per pound, than any of the grain we produce. However, like farmers everywhere, new production challenges emerge. A new fungus, akin to a strain of rust, is dramatically cutting production at lower elevations in Central America. The industry is struggling to find solutions, just as western Canadian producers grapple with new diseases and pests. Both jurisdictions are seeing product and process innovation to maximize returns. Different countries, different languages, different climates, different crops — interesting parallels. Kevin Hursh is an agricultural journalist, consultant and farmer.

It really is time for winter to stop snowing EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

JOANNE PAULSON, EDITOR

ou know what city folk say to each other when it just keeps snowing (or raining, for that matter) to cheer themselves up? “At least it’s good for the farmers.” I bet you’ve never heard that before. Well, it’s good unless your cows are calving, like they are right now. It’s good if there’s a slow melt, and you don’t get flooded. It’s good if you don’t have to get someone to the nearest hospital during a snowstorm. It’s good if you didn’t have too much rain the previous fall. Lots of snow affects everyone. I flew over much of southern Manitoba and Saskatchewan the other day, and I’m thinking we have enough snow, urban or rural. Most fields were completely covered, and in some cases, they were under significant amounts. Some were drifted in, in copious amounts. It was a white scene, all the way. That being said, there is a pile of debate over how much water that snow contains. I’ve seen at least a couple of maps that show different scenarios. A recent Environment Canada map indicated a heck of a lot of the wet stuff across most of the Prairies. The most recent one, which you will find on our weather page, is a bit more moderate. It shows a considerable amount of moisture in much of southern and central Saskatchewan, with the biggest puddle-to-be right around Moose Jaw and Regina. Those communities have more than 200 percent of normal moisture. There’s another big blue dot at Saskatoon, and then the colours change to purple and green, representing 150 to 200 percent of normal and 115 to 150 percent respectively. But much of Alberta and Manitoba are just above normal, or even slightly below. I’m told that the freeze-thaw cycle can really confuse the water equivalency issue for monitoring devices. However, the good folks at Agriculture Canada’s National Agroclimate Information Service are doing their utmost to get an accurate picture of what’s going on. Everyone with serious snow cover, particularly in southern Saskatchewan, should still be prepared for possible flooding. There are going to be some scary pockets. How much water is hiding in that snow overall, though, is a tough call, and it might be less than expected. I still wish it would quit snowing.

WHEAT BENEFITS To the Editor: Western Canadian wheat has a global reputation tarnished by incomplete understanding presented by people such as Peter Johnson at FarmTech 2013 and reported in The Western Producer by Mary MacArthur Feb. 7. Mr. Johnson, an extension agronomist from Ontario, is quoted as saying: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Western Canada has the least genetic progress of any wheat in the world.â&#x20AC;? This is in stark contrast to Dr. Hans Braun, global wheat director for the Centre for International Wheat Improvement, who described the genetic progress in western Canadian wheat at the Wheat Summit 2012 as being very impressive, given the challenges of the Canadian environment and standards for quality. He has pointed out that producers and the industry are getting a bargain for what has been accomplished. Mr. Johnson also neglected to inform the audience that western Canadian wheat varieties are grown by choice successfully even in Eastern Canada. There are various pieces of misinformation in circulation such as the performance of canola compared to wheat. In truth, the provincial crop production statistics for the past 13 years clearly demonstrate that the rate of productivity increase of wheat is comparable to that of canola. Genetic gains in wheat have been achieved with only about one-third of the research investments made in canola. Richard Gray, economist at University of Saskatchewan, completed an analysis on the internal rates of return on investment and benefits to costs on the wheat breeding checkoff administered by the Western Grains Research Foundation. The benefit to cost for wheat cultivar improvements was an astounding $20.40 for each $1 invested.

genetically modified seeds and crops that have resulted in genetic contamination. Most organic farmers will not argue that their products are GMO-free. They have been cautioning against the type of cross-contamination we are now seeing since the 1990s. This is why the approval and proposed growing of GM alfalfa in Canada is so very shortsighted.

SENATE A BURDEN To the Editor:

JohnDeere.com/Hay

It used to be different. ... As long as the Senate is a tentacle of the government with a majority, it will always be in lock step with that government.

OPINION Keeping two of the same, the House and Red Chamber, is a great cost burden to Canada’s taxpayers, besides being a waste that Canadians can do without. The initial setting up of the now antiquated Senate was to have second sober thoughts. We know and realize that is not the case nowadays. As I see it, if the Senate was to function properly, they would be elected by the people, for the people. No appointing by the prime minister. But how does one elect someone that has no political ties? That’s the hard answer. That quagmire exists. In the meantime, I suppose we have to have somebody in the Senate chambers to turn the lights on and off. John Fefchak, Virden, Man.

PAPER CRIMINALS To the Editor: Re: Harper continues to make paper criminals with gun owners. Just another broken election promise for Harper? In 2005, the Conservative party approved this policy declaration: That a Conservative government will repeal Canada’s costly gun registry legislation and work with the provinces and territories on cost-effective gun control programs designed to keep guns out of the hands of criminals while respecting the rights of law-abiding Canadians to own and use firearms responsibly. Surprise, surprise, the long gun registry is dead but the rest of C-68 is very alive. The current policy is that every firearm owners must have a valid possession certificate. This life-

time licensing allows the government to track firearm owners forever. Why does this government so distrust the vast majority of decent nonviolent firearm owners that it wants to identify and track every innocent gun owner forever? If your firearm possession certificate expires, you have become a paper criminal, according to the current laws. You are in illegal possession of all your firearms without this piece of paper called a PAL. It is estimated that over 600,000 gun owners are paper criminals. You can be charged, lose your firearms and go to jail for illegally possessing firearms without a valid possession certificate. We have no property rights in Canada. The goal of any firearm law should be to reduce crime. Making paper criminals out of law abiding citizens is wrong. We need to identify, register, and track the 176,000 violent

BENEFITS VS. COSTS To the Editor: Canadians are facing a national debt in excess of $600 billion and increased personal living costs but with improved communication are able to investigate the cost of government programs and policies to determine the benefits versus the cost. Presently, the need for our current Canadian Senate or a different type of Senate is topic of conversation by

many Canadians. Canada has a parliamentary system of government with elected members of Parliament that by a majority vote establish or amend the laws and policies of our country. The Canadian Senate benefits versus cost is one challenge facing our elected members of Parliament. They also face similar problems with other programs and policies such as the Official Languages Act (1969) and equalization payments. Canadians have a right and duty to investigate how these acts and policies will affect their lives and the lives of their children. Please accept this responsibility to investigate and question your member of Parliament on their opinion on these ver y important issues. Ken Kellington, Devon, Alta.

felt totally helpless a few months ago so I went to the acupuncturist to see if he could help restore my health. He took my pulses, examined my tongue and gave me a treatment. Then, while looking me square in the eye, he said, “I will take care of your health. You go and find your smile.” What a healing moment. We need to be told the same thing during our Lenten meditations. As an Easter people, we should already know about God’s healing gifts. Our part is to trust the blessing and “go and find our smile.” Whatever our anxiety and burden, our part of the bargain is that we turn to God as we look for rainbows and find joy in our spiritual lives. Ludwig van Beethoven, the great 19th century composer, became deaf before he reached the fullness of his career. I’m sure he faced great bouts of despair, but in spite of the mire of deafness, Beethoven gifts us with the wonderful Ode to Joy composition. It came from a bubbling spiritual fountain deep within. Henry Van Dyke put words to the music 75 years later, and now we can’t help but smile as we sing, “joyful, joyful we adore you, God of glory, life and love. Hearts unfold like flowers before you, opening to the sun above.” We may catch glimpses of hope in our individual lives, but we may still feel that the corporate body of Christ is under threat: numbers are diminishing and some call us irrelevant. We are urged to look for new visions of how we can live as a people of God. Hymn writer Walter Farquharson invites us to sing, “this broken world seeks lasting health and vital unity.

Curtain closes for Saskatoon Fall Fair

Energy costs to rise: report

Declining interest | The venue has become outdated; replaced by video technology, ease of travel and social media BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

After 47 years, the Saskatoon Fall Fair is no more. The once popular purebred beef and commercial cattle show has seen its numbers steadily decline over the years. “The committee concluded that it was not meeting the needs of the industry because attendance was so low,” said Brenda Sapergia, livestock manager for Prairieland Park. The annual four-day November show has played an important role

in the beef industry. Initially designed to provide a venue for purebred producers to showcase breeding stock, it grew to encompass a commercial cattle show and sale, the Junior Classic, the Prospect Calf Show and Sale, the Cinderella Classic jackpot, the Senior Challenge and other components. As the beef industry has evolved over the past 50 years, so have the marketing strategies of purebred cattle producers. The marketing value placed on traditional show ring competitions has been affected by the ease of mobility

to travel to select premier events, the onset of technology including video, social media and website marketing and producer evaluation of genetics based on a multitude of technological tools. Shrinking participation in provincial shows has been evident over the past several years and led Fall Fair organizers, including the volunteer committee and show management, to make the decision Jan. 22 to end the show. “It was not a quick decision,” Sapergia said. “Right after the last show, we had the discussion. It wasn’t any-

thing fast and drastic. It was carefully considered and discussed.” She said the close dates of shows such as the Canadian Western Agribition in Regina affected the smaller, more regional venue. “I think people are choosing to go to one. They can’t possible afford to go to all. I think that’s what’s happening,” she said. However, Sapergia said ending the show does not lessen the commitment that Saskatoon Prairieland Park has to the beef industry. She said a planning committee will try to design something new.

Farm forecast | Document looks into ag’s future BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Farmers should anticipate higher energy prices, rising interest rates and some commodity softening over the next decade, says an Agriculture Canada report. Department economists say it is not a prediction but a medium-term projection of possible agriculture sector conditions based on current knowledge. Still, the report, Medium Term Outlook for Canadian Agriculture, should give farmers possibilities to chew on as they consider their own business plans for the next few years. Oil prices are expected to rise by more than 50 percent over the next decade to $145 per barrel. “The era of cheap energy is over.” The Canadian dollar will remain at par with the U.S. dollar or higher for years to come, continuing to cause grief for exporters. And part of the strong dollar will be rising Canadian interest rates, locked in at historic lows since the recession at the end of the last decade. The report said the dollar value will remain high. Any escalation of debt servicing costs would affect farm debt servicing costs. Farm debt levels are expected to exceed a record $70 billion when Statistics Canada figures are published in May. The report also predicted softening but continuing strong grain and oilseed prices, but that is not good news for all sectors. It said an expected increase in Canadian feed grain production because of above-average prices will help the livestock sector because it will be able to buy feed domestically. However, “although feed prices have declined from recent highs, they will remain relatively strong and continue to be a challenge for the livestock sector.” The report predicts increased biodiesel and ethanol production, but construction of production facilities in Canada will not keep up with demand. The outlook for strong and increasing export demand is based on several assumptions, including the start of a European Union economic recovery and growth in the U.S. economy next year, despite continued fiscal turmoil, high unemployment and stalemate in Washington over how to deal with the economic crisis. One assumption — which was used to predict improvements in the meat export market — is already on thin ice. The economists writing the report assumed that the U.S. would comply with the need to reform country-oforigin labelling rules by the late-May deadline set by the World Trade Organization. Recent announcements of rule changes by Washington would make Canadian beef and hog sales into the American market more difficult rather than less.

U OF S RESEARCH | CANADIAN FOUNDATION FOR INNOVATION

Innovation money targets ag research Projects planned | Some money will go toward improving cold-hardy winter wheat varieties BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The University of Saskatchewan will receive $3.8 million from the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) to help research related to agriculture, health and synchrotron science. Karen Chad, vice-president of research at the university, said the funding will allow the university to buy equipment to help in research aimed at improving cold-hardiness in winter wheat and enhancing natural disease resistance in plants. A portion of the money will also be used to develop a compact light source that complements synchrotron research at the university. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These major CFI investments will provide the tools that (are needed) â&#x20AC;Ś to help increase food production, protect human health, and advance key areas of inquiry in energy and materials science and information technology,â&#x20AC;? Chad said. The CFI is a federal program that helps eligible institutions acquire advanced research equipment. The program â&#x20AC;&#x201D; aimed at improving Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s research capacity â&#x20AC;&#x201D; covers up to 40 percent of approved equipment and infrastructure costs, with the remainder coming from other sources such as provincial governments and universities. T h e $ 3 . 8 m i l l i o n i nv e s t m e nt announced March 8 will be split between three projects involving leading Saskatchewan researchers.

Another $543,000 will be used to enhance an Advanced Laser Light Source (ALLS) facility. The ALLS facility is located at Varennes, Que., but research conducted at the facility includes scientists from the U of S, the Canadian Light Source, the University of Alberta and the Universite du Quebec.

Budget day in Ottawa has traditionally been when farm leaders learn where their sector fits into government priorities and how much money will be flowing to producers. With austerity in the air and farm programs locked in through separate federal-provincial agreements, those days are gone. Farm leaders weren’t expecting to hear significant funding announcements when finance minister Jim Flaherty rose in the House of Commons March 21, after deadlines for this issue, to deliver his 2013 budget speech. Instead, they hoped to hear a government commitment for infrastructure investment and regulatory review and reform. “I think on the spending side, what we get is pretty well known through the Growing Forward programs that roll out April 1,” Canadian Federation of Agriculture president Ron Bonnett said. “We’re not anticipating huge cuts, but since this also is a budget dealing with deficit reduction, we also want to make sure we keep our core funding.” Governments have already signalled that some core funding will be reduced, although not because of the budget. Tighter AgriInvest and AgriStability rules included in the new programs are expected to save governments hundreds of millions of dollars over the next five years. Bonnett said the CFA would like to see a government commitment to invest more in research and to keep open research facilities that are being scaled back or possibly closed. He said the budget should signal that agricultural adaptation funding will be continued. “And it would be nice to see a reference to plans to launch a rail freight costing review as the next step after the level-of-service review process is complete.” Grain Growers of Canada executive director Richard Phillips said priorities include a government commitment to “a neutral assessment of the public good component of the Grain Commission and a review of the needed changes in the commission’s structure and mandate, given the sweeping changes in the grain sector.” He said the end of the CWB single desk in 2012 has not been followed by needed grain commission reform. “Last review still had the CWB monopoly in place and the commercial trade needs are (now) different,” he said. A key part of the debate has become how much the government should continue to pay to cover the “public good” flowing from some commission services that benefit the broader economy. Grain Growers insist that the proposed new fee-for-service structure is downloading too much of the cost onto farmers.

HERBICIDES | RESEARCH

Scientist finds Roundup more toxic than glyphosate Chemical study | Monsanto defends itself against new claims critical of the surfactant compounds added to Roundup BY JEFFREY CARTER & ROBERT ARNASON FREELANCE WRITER, WP BRANDON BUREAU

TORONTO — The French scientist who led the study questioning the safety of Roundup herbicide and genetically modified corn is adding new fuel to the debate. Gilles-Eric Séralini released a copy of his new paper examining the adjuvants used in Roundup formulations to The Western Producer after he spoke in Toronto Feb. 16 at the annual Canadian Organic Conference. A source with the publisher has confirmed that the paper has been published. “There are several hidden toxic compounds in Roundup that are far, far more toxic than glyphosate, but they have not been tested in longterm studies like glyphosate — that means for two years with a rat,” Séralini said. The paper, called Ethoxylated adjuvants of glyphosate-based herbicides are active principles in human cell toxicity, was published in Toxicology magazine. It compares the toxicology and composition of nine Roundup formulations using different human cell lines.

down the waxy coating on plants and allow for efficient absorption,” Helscher said. “The complete formulation information is provided to the regulatory agencies and regulatory submissions include data on the surfactants used.” Bob Hartzler, an Iowa State University weed science professor, said surfactants are an essential component of glyphosate formulations. “It (glyphosate) is inefficient at moving from the leaf surface into the

plant, so they have to add additional products,” he said. Without surfactants, he added, glyphosate would bead up on the plant’s leaves, much like water droplets on a freshly waxed car. “The surfactants allow the glyphosate to penetrate into that wax. It facilitates diffusion into the leaf.” However, Hartzler said the problem with surfactants is they are toxic for frogs and other amphibians. “It’s well documented that formulations of glyphosate, whether it’s

Roundup or Touchdown or any other generic … are extremely toxic to amphibians. That is due to that surfactant. The amphibians have a very wet skin that absorb things very easily.” Commenting on the findings of Séralini’s study that Roundup is substantially more toxic than glyphosate, Hartzler said he’s not a toxicologist but some formulations of glyphosate do come with a warning label. “A lot of times that (warning) is due to the risk associated with getting it

on your eyes. The surfactants, they’re designed to penetrate… and can be pretty toxic to the eyes.” Helscher said existing research doesn’t back Séralini’s comment that Roundup is 100,000 times more toxic than glyphosate. “We haven’t seen data to support such a statement,” he said. “Extensive animal data and human experience contradicts findings of Petri dish experiments … with glyphosate-surfactant herbicides.”

The study shows that glyphosatebased herbicides pose an environmental and occupational risk for humans, including for farmers and others who spray the products. As in his earlier paper, Séralini recommended that longer-term studies be used to measure the potential toxic effects of the entire formulations rather than just the glyphosate content. “I don’t think that agricultural workers understand that glyphosate is not Roundup,” Séralini said. “Roundup is 100,000 times more toxic on human cells than glyphosate, and glyphosate is just 15 percent of what’s in Roundup.… There’s a vast underestimation of its effects.” Responding to Séralini’s claims, a Mo n s a n t o s p o k e s p e r s o n s a i d glyphosate has an excellent human health record and a history of safe use in more than 130 countries. “This is confirmed by the extensive studies as well by the first-hand experience of millions of farmers,” said Thomas Helscher, Monsanto director of corporate affairs. However, glyphosate isn’t the only chemical in Roundup. “Surfactants are routinely added to herbicide formulations to break

RESEARCH | FUNDING

Changes coming for grain research checkoffs Collection responsibilities shift | Interim levy collection system will move to provincially run commissions by 2017 BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The Western Grains Research Foundation will continue to manage producer checkoffs carefully as changes are made to levy collection systems in Western Canada. Dave Sefton, who was recently reelected as WGRF chair, said the funding landscape supporting western Canadian cereal grain research and varietal development is evolving. The establishment of provincial wheat and barley commissions in

Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba marks a significant change to the way producer levies will be collected and distributed. Interim measures that took effect last August mean producer levies will continue to be collected on wheat and barley produced in Western Canada. The Alberta Barley Commission collects the levies and distributes them to the WGRF, the Canadian International Grains Institute (CIGI) and the Canadian Malting Barley Technical Centre (CMBTC).

However, the responsibility for collecting, managing and distributing producer check-off money will likely fall to the provincial commissions by 2017. “The interim check-off (mechanism) that is in place … has a five-year sunset on it and industry needs to be in a position to continue that work after those five years,” said Sefton, who farms near Broadview, Sask. “That collection responsibility will move, in all likelihood, to the provincial commissions and it will be those provincial commissions that deter-

mine the role that they wish the WGRF to play with respect to varietal development.… In the meantime, we’re going to continue to ensure that variety development work continues uninterrupted and that we are there to provide … (our) services to the commission should they choose to have us carry out that work on their behalf. “At the end of the day … it’s farmers’ money and whether it’s farmers’ money being managed by the WGRF or the provincial commissions … we are committed to ensuring that farmers money is used well.”

Sefton said the recently established Ba r l e y C o u n c i l o f Ca na d a ha s requested that it be represented on the WGRF’s technical committee. “The barley council has asked to have a representative on that committee and we will oblige,” he said. The foundation has not been involved in the formation of a national cereals council, which is expected to be operating by the end of the year. However, the foundation is aware of the process, and WGRF board members are being kept apprised of the council’s progress.

Finance Canada estimates that Canadian farmers benefit from more than $400 million a year in tax benefits under existing tax laws. This is in addition to billions of dollars a year in direct spending on farm programs and services. The numbers came in an annual accounting of “tax expenditures” recently tabled in Parliament to estimate how much tax revenue did not flow to Ottawa because of tax breaks built into the system. The recent report on farming and fishing enterprises says that the lifetime capital gains exemption is the main tax saving: $385 million in capital gains tax averted in 2012. The farm lobby has been urging Ottawa for years to increase the value of the capital gain tax break to at least $1 million to reflect current farm values. In 2007, the Conservative government increased the onetime capital gain exemption to $750,000 from $500,000. The federal cost of the farm capital gains tax break could soar over the next decade as the exodus of older farmers from the business picks up pace. The finance department says that the once-in-a-lifetime capital gain tax break is by far farmers’ largest tax break. In 2012, the department said farmers also avoided $25 million in tax by putting money into their AgriInvest accounts that attract governmentmatching funds. There was a $5 million benefit for Quebec farmers investing money in their parallel Agri-Québec plan. However, the value of the farm tax benefit pales when compared to other taxpayer tax avoidance benefits. The department estimates that $2.3 billion in taxes were reduced because of charitable donations and political contributions last year. Tax-free contributions to retirement savings funds cost Ottawa almost $9.4 billion in reduced tax revenue. For the broader business community, accelerated capital cost deductions were worth $4.6 billion in reduced taxation last year.

Consort residents rally at legislature over lack of medical services Loss of doctor closes emergency room | Town residents want Alberta Health Services to reopen facilities now that recruitment is done BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

EDMONTON — They travelled through a late winter storm to tell their story on the steps of the legislature while the wind whipped away their words. The residents from Consort, Alta., hope someone inside the legislature heard them and will help reopen the emergency and acute care beds in their small town hospital. “The reaction thus far is we’re pretty low on the priority list. We’re here to make it known that we need those emergency services,” said Bonnie Sansregret of Consort. The last doctor left Consort in 2011, and the emergency department and five acute care beds were shut down. Members of the community got to work to bring the doctors back. They hired a recruiting firm, built a $300,000 home and are building a second house for another doctor. “We’re very proactive,” said Sansregret, also a municipal councillor with the Special Areas. “We have found physicians, we have done everything Alberta Health Services has asked us. We have five acute care beds sitting empty. The sheets just need to go on them. We need those beds back to provide the care that not only our community needs, but they deserve.”

A group of concerned citizens from Consort, Alta., came to the Alberta legislature March 14 to raise awareness for the need to reopen their emergency department and five acute care beds. | MARY MACARTHUR PHOTO However, they have so far been unable to convince Alberta Health Services.

“We have three doctors in place. We have the physician. We have the nurses. We have the beds. We just

need permission to open them,” said Sandra Polson, who organized the bus full of residents to rally at the legislature. “We need a public outcry. We’ve gone through the proper channels. It’s time for us to speak up and make awareness.” Darrel Durksen of Veteran, Alta., who travelled with the group, said it’s not just the residents of Consort who need to worry about keeping doctors and their emergency departments — it’s all communities in rural areas. The closest hospital to Consort is at Coronation, a half an hour away. H o w e v e r, a n a d d i t i o n a l 1 0 0 kilometres of travel are required for people who live close to the Saskatchewan border. Durksen said recent cuts to health services in the provincial budget means the government is shifting resources to the cities and hoping people in rural areas won’t complain too loudly. “My personal feeling is everything is trying to be shifted to the urban centres, and rural just doesn’t seem to matter any more. Funding goes naturally to the urban centres.” Keeping an active emergency room and acute care beds is an important part of keeping people in Consort, which has a new $14 million seniors lodge, a community funded pallia-

tive care facility and a hospital built in 1984. Polson started a Facebook page to allow people to show their support and tell their stories about why it’s important to keep services in Consort. More than 900 people joined the page within the first few days. “It’s time for a public outcry. We have got to make the minister aware of our situation.” Members of the medical centre board planned to meet with health minister Fred Horne March 20, after deadlines for this issue. The area’s MLA Rick Strankman of the Wildrose Party and Alberta Health Services could not immediately be reached for comment. Liberal ML A Dr. David Swann stood on the steps of the legislature to listen to the Consort group and a second group opposed to moving the Medevac services from Edmonton’s city centre airport to the international airport. “I am here to support your call for responsible health care, effective health care, timely health care. This government has really screwed up our health care system in the last four years,” said Swann. “The emergency medical system is in chaos. Rural areas are suffering just as much as urban areas in this fiasco.”

CANADIAN YOUNG FARMERS’ FORUM | FARMER NUMBERS

Farmers fear loss of workforce

Ag prosperity will attract youth Federal policies lacking | Lender calls low young farmer numbers in Canada a myth

BY BARRY WILSON BY BARRY WILSON

OTTAWA BUREAU

Changes to the Employment Insurance program that tighten eligibility is a frightening development for many farmers, says the chair of the Canadian Agricultural Human Resources Council. Merv Wiseman’s silver fox farm near North Harbour, N.L., is the biggest in the world and largely dependent on 22 seasonal workers hired during pelt harvest season. They are experienced workers who keep the million-dollar fur marketing operation in business, but Wiseman, who is also president of the Newfoundland and Labrador Federation of Agriculture, said the workers traditionally apply for EI between harvest seasons, when local part-time jobs in rural Newfoundland are scarce or non-existent. “If they moved away to St. John’s or Alberta or whatever to find work in the off-season, I would lose my workforce,” he said during the council’s annual forum in Ottawa. “They likely wouldn’t come back. It’s frightening for the future of my farm. They are skilled workers, and I don’t know where I would replace them.” Wiseman said EI reforms could do that. EI changes introduced by the federal government require recipients to be actively looking for work and be willing to take a job an hour’s drive away or more, even at reduced pay, or face losing EI eligibility. Greg Webster, who produces berries, rhubarb, dry beans and winter rye producer near Cambridge, N.S., said his third generation farm could be sharply affected. “I have real concerns on how our seasonal workers are being targeted in this program change, and without seasonal workers in horticulture, we’re done,” he said. Without a steady supply of seasonal workers to supplement family members, farmers will have to increasingly rely on use of foreign seasonal workers under a federal program. Human resources development minister Diane Finlay, who is overseeing the changes, has argued the changes are prudent and not targeted at agriculture.

New Democrat MPs last week said a Conservative government failure to create policies that attract young farmers to the business is creating an industry crisis. As delegates from the Canadian Young Farmers’ Forum sat listening in the House of Commons gallery, NDP agriculture critic Malcolm Allen said that in the past 25 years, the number of farmers under age 35 has fallen more than 70 percent. “Without young farmers to take over, Canada is facing a crisis in agriculture and Conservatives are sitting on their hands,” he said. “The Conservatives’ inaction and lack of vision is making this problem worse.” Pierre Lemieux, parliamentary secretary to agriculture minister Gerry Ritz, argued the opposition was missing the point. Prosperity in agriculture will attract the young. “The one main concern of young farmers is whether they can earn enough money on the farm to raise their families,” he told deputy NDP agriculture critic Ruth Ellen Brosseau. “Under our agricultural policies, they can.” Net farm cash income in 2012 will be at levels not seen in almost 40 years, he said. Earlier, delegates at the CYFF conference had heard a different perspective about the crisis over the decline in young farmer numbers. It isn’t as dire as census of agriculture statistics suggests, said Farm Credit Canada operations vicepresident Faith Matchett. “There is a perception of a lack of young farmers,” she said. “FCC’s perspective is far different.” Matchett said she wanted to dispel the lack of young farmers myth. Younger farmers make up a solid block of FCC customers, borrowing almost $2 billion last year, she said after her speech. “They are a significant part of the industry and from our perspective, there is no lack of young farmers.” According to the 2011 Census of

Improved economic times in agriculture could provide opportunities for youth wishing to farm. | Agriculture conducted by Statistics Canada, 8.2 percent of Canadian farmers were younger than 35 and almost half were 55 and older. The average age of a Canadian farmer was 54. With the number of younger farmers dropping, the census results renewed the debate about whether enough young people are

interested in the farm to keep the industry growing. Matchett said there are reasons the farm population is aging. Like most entrepreneurs and business owners, farmers do not retire early and with current high commodity prices, they are deciding to stay longer to take advantage of the boom.

“They tend to stay when things are going good,” she said. But an improved economy also provides an opportunity for the next generation to begin the transition into farming, she said. “The situation is not dire at all but it still is important that we continue to attract young people into the industry,” she said.

FINANCES | CHILDREN

Teaching children the value of money in a cashless society TEAM RESOURCES

BETTY ANN DEOBALD, BSHEc

ow do you teach children about the value of money when they rarely see it being used? Debit and credit cards are often the payment method and many people don’t carry cash.

Just as children learn reading and math skills, there is also a need for them to develop financial literacy skills. They can begin with how to identify, count and use coins and bills. Basic financial skills need to be taught early and then built upon as children grow. By the time they are leaving high school and often home, they understand how to develop a personal spending and savings plan, set goals, use credit, bank, comparison shop, track their spending, maintain financial records and prepare their own income tax return. Use teaching moments in everyday life. If you have a teen, start where

their interest are and build in financial planning and banking information. At an early age, a piggy bank is a good tool. Children have a natural interest in putting coins in the bank and then removing them. Sorting the coins by size and colour provides an opportunity for teaching the names of the coins and their values. As children develop an understanding of math, coins are good tools for practising addition, subtraction and multiplication. Everyday shopping trips can show how money is used to pay for purchases. It is important for children to recognize that debit cards aren’t “magic”

cards with unlimited spending power. These discussions lead to talking about earning money. As children get older, they can be given a share of the family’s money through an allowance. When older children get part-time or summer jobs, this presents opportunities to discuss plans for the money, savings and bank account use. It is essential to discuss what the money will be used for. Short-term savings goals may be a special toy or game, while longer-term ones may be a new bike, car or college. Introducing the concept of saving for post-secondary education tells the child that he will likely receive additional education and have some

responsibility to help pay for it. The basic values of education, self-reliance and working for goals will help the child grow into a responsible teen and adult. With a school age child, talk about financial goals. Some basic ones are spending, saving and giving. Help children realize that money is spent first on the basic needs and then decisions are made about the extras that are wanted. For the family, basic needs are food, clothing, housing and transportation. The desire to have steaks, designer clothes, a large home or sports car are examples of wants. It is useful to share with your children your personal and family needs and wants to help them learn about how family financial decisions are made. A clothing allowance for a child is a great way to help him learn about the value of money, the variation in clothing prices and quality and how to make realistic purchasing decisions. Clothing shopping with your child is a perfect opportunity to teach him shopping and budgeting skills. Wise shopping is only part of financial management. Saving, giving and spending are the broad categories used in developing a spending plan or budget. Many experts recommend 10 percent for long-term saving, and an additional percentage for short-term goals. It is also recommended that a percentage be identified to support church and charities. A spending plan would include amounts that are to be saved or given, then financial commitments are listed such as a loan payment, membership, and monthly bills . Finally, the flexible amounts are added such as meals, entertainment and clothes. The total should be less than the income available through allowance and part-time work. To make the budget balance or to meet some specific saving or “want” spending goals, the current amount being spent may need to be adjusted. Introduce your child to the banking system by opening a saving account for him. Take preschoolers to the bank to deposit their money and explain they will earn interest that will give them more money. Many financial institutions have no s e r v i c e c h a r g e o n c h i l d r e n ’s accounts. As children earn their own money and a spending plan has been developed, discuss a chequing or debit account. The child needs to realize the responsibilities that come with this account. It is a good idea to have this account separate from their savings account so their savings are protected. Use teens’ interest in computers and cellphones to introduce a money management program. Some personal accounting programs have an app that can be installed on a cellphone so purchases can be recorded at the time of purchase. Most also have a budget capability so as money is spent it is easy to see how much is left to spend. Learning how to track spending when their income and expenses are limited makes it easier for the practice to become a lifelong habit. For more information, visit www. fcac-acfc.gc.ca/eng.

FOOD | PRESERVING OLD SKILLS

Sustainable lifestyles include lost domestic arts Traditional skills | Local grower instructs others about sustainability, including fat rendering and fermentation BY RON FRIESEN FREELANCE WRITER

WINNIPEG — If you’re old enough, you may remember your mother saving scraps of fat from the dinner plates to use for making soap. Rendering fat for other products is one of the traditional household skills with which Adrienne Percy wants people to reconnect. Percy lives with her husband, Trevor, and two sons on a 320-acre farm near Fraserwood, Man., where she teaches fat rendering, fermentation and other traditional methods of food preparation. Percy said it’s important to recapture practices once standard in Canadian households because they still have their place today. “We live in an affluent society but within the span of maybe one generation, we’ve lost incredibly important skills,” she said at the recent annual Growing Local food security conference in Winnipeg. “I think there’s a growing sense that we’ve given up some of our personal power, and our power as a community, by not having these skills.” Collecting and rendering fat is one of the last things people might consider doing these days, given the dietary link between fat, obesity and heart disease. Percy feels animal fat gets unfairly blamed for health problems, espe-

cially since its consumption has been declining for years. On the other hand, the intake of sugar, starch and vegetable oil, considered major villains in the obesity epidemic, has risen sharply. Percy said lard from pigs and tallow from cattle were once dietary staples. Skim milk was fed to pigs and lean meat was thrown to the dogs. People ate food with a high fat content because they spent so much time at physical labour and needed the energy. She said you don’t have to eat fat to use it. Percy uses tallow for such products as soap, candles and moisturizers. Fermentation is another traditional kitchen method that Percy promotes for food preservation and human health. Fermented food contains bacteria and other microorganisms that confer healthful benefits to digestive

systems, she said. She makes sauerkraut containing ginger and carrots as well as cabbage and kombucha, an effervescent tea drink believed to have therapeutic benefits. Fermentation is making a comeback, with a recent New York Times article calling fermented food one of the top 10 hottest North American food trends of 2013. A former journalist, Percy gives tutorials and online courses in reclaiming traditional skills for healthy lifestyles and provides online courses and coaching services in domestic arts and sustainable lifestyles. Percy was encouraged that her workshop included many young people. “Every year, I see more and more people looking to connect with those skills,” she said. During a workshop on food labels and their impact on human health, Perry said modern food labels can be misleading in what they say and what they don’t. Ice cream doesn’t always contain actual cream and often is just “frozen dessert.” Sugar can mean anything from barley malt to xylose, which is extracted from wood fibre. “Natural” only means something derived from a plant or animal source.

RAISING AWARENESS | SOCIAL MEDIA

Group calls for youth to raise voices online Online challenge | FarmOn Foundation sees a future for young farmers on the internet BY DIANE ROGERS FREELANCE WRITER

The FarmOn Foundation is urging young farmers to show the public their farming reality through social media on Earth Day, April 22. The Bashaw, Alta.-based group, which has 700 members around the world, wants farmers to post a photo or comment to Facebook, Instagram or Twitter using the hashtag #FARMVOICES. “I’m sick and tired of groups like PETA (People For the Ethical Treatment of Animals) trying to tell my story,” said Sarah Wray, a foundation board member. “It’s our turn.” Jackie Northey, FarmOn executive director, said the organization began in 2008 as an online educational website for young farmers. The group felt that the public didn’t know much about farming, so decided to tell its side to counter stories about animal abuse and chemicals in crops. Northey, 55, who is part of what she calls “the parent generation,” wants to work with young farmers in their 20s to deal with the demographic challenges facing them. “The generation that owns the land now still must retire,” she said.

In the next decade, $50 billion in agricultural assets will be transferred to the young farmers in Canada, said Northey. The public doesn’t recognize the number of mortgages and loans that represents or the mentoring that is needed. Wray said 70 percent of young farmers work more than 40 hours a week in off-farm jobs to support their operations. “When did feeding the world become a pastime?” she said in a news release. “Nobody would expect a restaurant owner to run his establishment, not even break even, and then take a second job in the oilfield just to make ends meet for his family. But this is exactly what is being expected of farmers.” Northey hopes the Farm Voices project can raise awareness of farming but also generate support and cash by having the public buy items like seeds through the foundation’s website at www.farmon.com. She said the foundation would like to raise money to help pay for its members to gain agricultural scholarships, attend short business courses or be coached by experienced farmers.

COUNTRY KITCHEN

DOROTHY SANDERCOCK

t has been a long, cold winter and signs of spring are welcome. One of my favourite signs is when my neighbourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flock starts lambing. That means Easter and spring are just around the corner. Most Canadian lamb is produced and processed locally, meaning it is fresh and hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t earned frequent flyer points before arriving at your door. There are about 13,500 family sheep farmers across Canada raising more than one million sheep for the fibre and meat markets, according to the Fresh Canadian Lamb Association. Popular recipes include the classic roasted leg of lamb served with mint jelly, but lamb cuts range from leg of lamb and rack of lamb to chops, roasts and kabobs. I have tried to find a variety of recipes using different cuts of lamb, as well as different taste influences from the Middle East, India, Italy and North America. Lamb is enjoyed the world over, so why not taste its versatility through internationally inspired flavours? Fresh and robust herbs and spices such as mint, rosemary, cilantro, cumin, mustard and garlic complement the earthy, taste of lamb. Some people claim not to like lamb, but I believe finding the right recipe is key to creating the right dish. Lamb is best served a little pink, hot and definitely not overcooked. As with all meat, a meat thermometer is the best way to ensure you are cooking to optimize safety and flavour. For lamb, insert the thermometer into the meat at its thickest part and when it reads 155 F (68 C), it is just right. For more lamb recipes, visit my blog at prairiekitchencompanion.blogspot.ca.

HOW TO PREPARE LAMB

» Fresh lamb meat will be pink and the fat should be white.

» Lamb chops are small so count on three to four chops per person.

» A whole leg of lamb (6 lb./3 kg) should feed about eight people.

» While most lamb cuts should be cooked to 155 F (68 C), ground lamb should be cooked to 160 F (70 C).

LAMB BURGERS

SPICED LAMB STRIPS WITH MINT & CILANTRO

Barbecue season is not too far off and this is a great way to enjoy lamb. I sometimes add barbecue sauce to the burger mixture to add flavour and moisture.

Combining savoury lamb with cumin, coriander, mint, garlic and tomatoes, this recipe combines the best of traditional North American and Middle Eastern lamb preparations. It is a great way to use up leftover lamb.

1 lb. ground lamb 500 g salt and pepper to taste 1 shallot, chopped 1 egg, beaten 1/4 c. bread crumbs 60 mL Mix ingredients with the ground lamb. Make four large (or eight small) patties. Cook on a preheated grill over medium-high heat for five to 10 minutes on each side. Serve in kaiser buns with lettuce, sliced tomatoes, thin slices of onion and condiments. Source: Fresh Canadian Lamb, www.freshcanadianlamb.ca.

1 lb. lamb leg, boned, trimmed and cut into thin strips 500 g 1 tsp. cumin 5 mL 1 tsp. coriander 5 mL 1 tsp. paprika 5 mL 1/4 tsp. pepper 1 mL 1 tbsp. + 1 tsp. oil 25 mL 1 small onion, thinly sliced 2 cloves garlic, minced 4 Roma tomatoes, seeded and cubed 1 tbsp. chopped fresh mint 15 mL 1 tbsp. chopped cilantro 15 mL 4 whole wheat pitas, warmed

2 c. shredded lettuce 500 mL 8 black olives, chopped In medium bowl, add lamb strips. Mix with cumin, coriander, paprika and pepper. In large non-stick skillet, heat one tbsp. (15 mL) oil over medium-high heat. Working in batches, saute lamb strips four to five minutes or until cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside. Add one tsp. (5 mL) oil to pan and saute onion for about four minutes or until onion is cooked. Add garlic, tomatoes and cook two to three minutes longer. Return lamb to pan. Add mint and cilantro and toss with meat and vegetables. Divide mixture between four pitas. Garnish with lettuce and black olives. Yield: Four servings. Source: canolainfo.org.

» When grilling a whole lamb rack, cap the rib bones in aluminum foil to prevent burning.

» Like most meats,

lamb benefits from standing time after cooking. Remove larger lamb roasts from the oven when the temperature registers about five degrees lower than the desired degree of doneness. Allow it to stand covered in a warm place for 15 to 20 minutes. During this period, the roast will continue to cook and the internal temperature may rise as much as five degrees.

Spinach sauce provides a nice complement to spiced lamb chops. | DOROTHY SANDERCOCK PHOTO

» To prevent burning

when grilling or frying, use a moist marinade that can be drained off before cooking. Dry herbs and rubs can burn easily unless you add oil or other moisture. Dry flavour rubs are best for dry cooking methods such as roasting.

sodium and is a good source of vitamins B6, A and B12. Lamb is also rich in minerals such as iron, zinc, copper and selenium.

SPICED LAMB CHOPS WITH A SPINACH SAUCE My friend Raghavan Iyer developed this recipe. He said that licking your fingers while eating this dish is perhaps the best way to relish the lingering flavour. Yield: six servings (three chops each). To marinate the lamb: 1 tbsp. finely chopped fresh ginger 15 mL 2 tsp. fennel seeds, ground 10 mL 2 tsp. ground mustard 10 mL 1 tsp. cardamom seeds (removed from pods) 5 mL 1 tsp. ground red pepper (cayenne) 5 mL 1 tsp. coarse kosher or sea salt 5 mL 8 large cloves garlic, finely chopped 2 1/2 lb. rack of lamb (from ribs), cut into chops (need 18 chops) 1.25 kg To cook the lamb and make the sauce: 1/4 c. oil 60 mL 1/2 c. finely chopped red onion 125 mL 2 tbsp. tomato paste 30 mL 1 package (10 oz./300 g) frozen chopped spinach, thawed (no need to drain) 1/2 tsp. coarse kosher or sea salt 2 mL 1/2 c. heavy whipping cream 125 mL Combine the ginger, fennel, mustard, cardamom, cayenne, salt and

garlic in a small bowl, stirring to make a damp (and potent) rub. Coat each lamb chop with a teaspoon of this rub on each side, pressing it into the meat. Refrigerate, covered, for 30 minutes or overnight. Heat two tbsp. (30 mL) of the oil in a large-sized skillet over medium heat. Add half the lamb chops, rub and add to the hot oil and sear each side until browned, about three minutes per side. Transfer the chops to a serving platter. Scrape any spices and oil stuck to the skillet into a small bowl. Add the remaining two tbsp. (30 mL) oil to the same skillet and repeat with the remaining lamb chops. Add the chops to the ones in the serving platter. Cover it with foil to keep warm as you prepare the sauce. Add the saved browned spices and oil to the skillet along with the onion. Stir fry the medley to allow the onion to soften, two to three minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and let it warm through, one to two minutes. Add the spinach, including its thawed juices, and salt. Scrape the skillet to loosen browned bits of spices and tomato paste to deglaze it. Cook the spinach, covered, stirring occasionally until the spinach is olive green and tender, about five minutes. Stir the cream into the spinach. Transfer the skillet’s contents into a blender and puree until the sauce is smooth. Spoon one tbsp. (15 mL) of the sauce over each lamb chop and serve.

LEG OF LAMB WITH HONEY SOY SAUCE Sheila Phillips from the Paradise Hill Farm Supply provided this recipe. It was originally from Pearl Donovich of Lethbridge and was published in one of the Alberta Lamb Producers’ recipe booklets. The best recipes always come that way. 6 – 7 lb. leg of lamb, trimmed of excess fat 3-3.5 kg 1 tsp. salt 5 mL 1/2 tsp. pepper 2 mL 1/3 c. honey 75 mL 4 c. water 1L 6 tbsp. soy sauce 90 mL Place lamb on shallow rack in roasting pan. Sprinkle and rub in salt and pepper. Using a pastry brush, coat the whole leg in honey. Pour in the water, enough to make it one-quarter inch deep in the pan. Roast at 450 F (230 C) for 1/2 hour. Reduce heat to 350 F (180 C) and pour half the soy sauce over the roast. Roast lamb for a further 35 minutes per pound (approximately 3 to 3 1/2 hours). Baste every 30 minutes. At the second basting, pour remaining soy sauce over the leg. Cook to an internal temperature of 68 C (155 F). Remove lamb to platter and let stand for a few minutes. Spoon off excess fat from juices and serve as is or thicken with cornstarch or flour. Source: Alberta Lamb Producers, www.albertalamb.ca.

ON THE FARM | SMALL-SCALE AGRICULTURE

Couple carves out niche with sheep business Also produce beef, pork, chicken | They say consumers have responded to their grass-fed, hormone-free meat BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

DAYSLAND, Alta. — When Lisa and Troy Greenstein couldn’t have a baby, they went a little crazy buying critters. Alpacas, llamas, miniature donkeys, ducks, horses and a collection of other assorted animals ended up on their 12-acre farm eating feed and not doing anything to bring money back to the farm. The couple lucked out when they found their niche with sheep and had a baby too. “The sheep we really enjoyed. They are easy to handle and a joy to be around,” said Lisa. With almost 300 head of ewes and a strong social media presence, the couple has a steady stream of customers who want to buy their grassfed, hormone-free lamb, beef, pork, chickens and eggs. “A lot of people want grass fed and more natural food, but it’s not available. All natural food shouldn’t be only for the elite,” she said. The couple sells much of their produce through Facebook and their website. “The sheep have done well for us,” said Lisa, who wants to build a community of agricultural learners on their farm. Growing up in a city, Lisa admits there is plenty she doesn’t know about livestock or farm machinery, but through her meat sales, she has learned there is a desire from consumers for a connection to the land. This summer, the couple hopes to host canning bees in an old farm building. The couple already spends the summer canning mini potatoes, spent hens, beet stems for borsch and fruit and vegetables. “Canned potatoes taste like they’re fresh out of the garden,” said Troy.

Lisa and Troy Greenstein of Greenstein Farms of Daysland, Alta., have attracted customers who buy their specialty lamb, as well as their beef, pork, chicken and eggs. | MARY MACARTHUR PHOTOS Growing up on a farm near Seven Persons, Alta., Troy said he helped his parents garden and can. “I grew up with a huge garden and hated canning. I used to help, but then got away from it. Now that I’m older, I’m right back at it.”

“We can everything,” he said. Like most work, gardening and canning go quicker and are more enjoyable when working with family and friends. With a large garden plot, the couple would like to form a loose community

shared agriculture garden where everyone helps with the seeding, weeding and harvest for an equal share of the produce. Already they have people from Edmonton willing to drive more than an hour to Daysland to dig in the dirt and grow food.

“Not everyone has space for a garden,” said Lisa. The couple also wants to encourage more people to raise animals. Recently, they gave 50 of their older hens to a neighbour so he could sell his own eggs for extra money. When they heard a young man was starting a beef herd, they directed beef orders they can’t fill to him. “We just want him to get up and running. It costs a lot of money to become established,” she said. The couple relies on Lisa’s nearby uncle, who has a knack for finding inexpensive equipment or livestock. “He horse trades everything for us,” said Troy, adding they have acquired a ram in a trade. They have also become an Alberta dealer for sheep handling equipment from Zubot Welding and Manufacturing of Humboldt, Sask. It’s one more way to connect with small producers, while selling the sheep handling equipment. As part of their marketing strategy, the pair worked with a local food store and restaurant in Camrose and put on a lamb dinner. Many people had never tried lamb or were afraid to cook the meat. “We wanted people to have a meal of lamb and get more people trying it,” she said. The lamb event has helped the Greensteins attract more farm sales. Lisa said her parents couldn’t understand why the young couple works so hard growing their own food when it’s available in the local store. For Lisa and Troy, small-scale farming is a skill that could soon be lost and it’s a healthy alternative for their family. “We worry local farms will go by the wayside if we don’t start to support local farmers,” she said.

Feature Equine Clinician with Stan Walchuk Jr. Stan Walchuk Jr. is your partner in training trail horses and back country travel. He has ridden literally thousands of wilderness miles in remote areas of Alberta, British Columbia, Northwest Territories and the Yukon, beginning with a Yukon Outfitter at 16. He has come by his skills honestly, working and learning from many outfitters, old timers, and hard core experience. Stan is a biologist, teacher, award winning filmmaker and writer. He is also the author of Cordillera! The amazing 1,000 mile wilderness crossing of the North American mountain system, and Blue Creek’s Trail Riding/Packing/Training Book and DVD – the most complete book and DVD on the subject ever. Stan operates the Blue Creek Trail Clinic and Guides Course and has been raising and training trail horses for many years. It is important to understand that what makes the best backcountry trail horse can be very different than what makes the best performance horse. The backcountry horse needs the mind, body, and behavior that suits the extremely variable conditions and terrain of backcountry trails. Likewise, saddles and tack need to suit the mountainous job at hand. The focus at Blue Creek is the right horse, the right gear and the knowledge to get you through travelling, wrangling, and camping, safely on the trail.

Back Country Adventures Outfitting with Bob Silverthorne

regular maintenance will certainly develop and promote healthy, happy hooves! “In my experience the meaning of

‘barefoot’ does not mean modern day horses going without hoof protection – it simply means they are going without shoes.”

If you are planning an extended ride into the mountains and plan on packing, there is a lot more to it than you might think! Bob Silverthorne has many years of instructing, outfitting and packing under his belt and is well known for sharing that knowledge. Bob’s approach is hands on and interactive, so you will have plenty of opportunity to ask questions, and perhaps even get a chance to try throwing a diamond hitch all on your own! Bob will be utilizing products from Summit

Outfitters, who make some of the finest gear available to back country enthusiasts. Summit Outfitters will be on hand with all of their products as well. So whether you are an experienced outfitter or a first timer, these sessions will have something of interest for everyone!

Barefoot Trimming with Lane Moore Lane was raised near Innisfail, Alberta in a farming family that used horses for work and pleasure. In the late 1990’s, Lane was at a veterinary clinic where one of the students, an endurance rider, had just completed a 100 mile competition in Saskatchewan – with his barefoot Arabian stallion. It piqued the curiosity and interest of Lane and his wife Margie, who were running their guest ranch at the time. Hearing about the stallion racing barefoot started Lane’s fascinating journey into Hoof Care. It is important to gain knowledge and understanding of the hoof and how it works. Barefoot horse enthusiasts believe a horse should go everywhere shoeless. Anyone who has observed the domestic and the wild horses of Mongolia, Russia, Mexico and South America can appreciate where they are coming from. Barefoot practitioners believe it is important to remember the wisdom and recommendations passed on by horse-hoof experts since the middle ages—barefoot horses out on pasture should have exposure to companions, an adequate diet and lots of movement, preferably over varied terrain.

Life is a Fabulous Ride! Meet Suzanne Bryson, manager of Stonecountry Welsh Inc. in Leduc, Alberta. Located on the 80 acre farm is the Stonecountry Welsh Equine Centre where Suzanne and her family own and operate a facility that provides riding lessons, summer camps, an indoor and outdoor riding arena, shows, sales and boards more than 60 Welsh ponies. Like most individuals who achieve success, it all started with a passion, and for Suzanne that passion was horses. She started by training ponies for kids. Having been born with a form of dwarfism, her size, stature and familiarity made her the perfect person for this often challenging job. While enrolled in the Equine Science program at Olds College she met a Welsh Pony & Cob breeder through a faculty staff member. When projects—such as artificial insemination—proved difficult for her to complete because of her size, the breeder allowed Suzanne to practice on the smaller ponies. This was a great asset and gave her the experience she needed to complete her education. After finishing her degree, Suzanne spent a few years in Tulsa, Oklahoma, to train ponies and gain experience. When her work visa expired, she moved back to Alberta and started working full time with the Edmonton Public School Board. It was during this time when the breeder who had helped her out when she was in college passed away and his farm in Olds went up for sale. Suzanne decided to purchase some of his ponies, buy a farm near Tofield and work at it full time. Six years later she was still at it and needed more space for her growing business. Nine years ago Suzanne and her parents bought land near Leduc and started Stonecountry Welsh Inc. and it has been thriving ever since. She lives on the farm with her husband, parents and 85 year-old grandmother. When she first started out her mother and father had reservations about her career path, but are now her biggest supporters. Her father helps run the farm and her mother and husband both pitch in during the busy months. The Northlands Farm & Ranch Show is proud to welcome Suzanne and the versatile Welsh Pony & Cob as this year’s feature breed. When it comes to this special kind of pony, guests may get more than they expect! The breed is unique in that there are 4 sections. The Welsh Ponies, or Section A, are small and measure 12.2 hands or less; the Section B measure between 12.2 and 14.2 hands;Section C , or Welsh Pony of Cob Type, measure no more than 13.2 hands and there are no upper limit to the Section D Welsh Cobs, which start at 13.2 hands.

WATER | HEADLANDS PROJECT

Walking tour promotes rivers Raising awareness | Volunteers sought to walk portions of South Sask. basin this summer LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

The water in the river that flows past Brenda Davison’s house near Burmis in southwestern Alberta ends up in Hudson’s Bay. Along the way, it has to meet the needs of multiple users. D av i s o n w a s t h i n k i n g a b o u t demands on the watershed when she came up with the idea of a walk-tothe-headwaters project that would highlight water use and conservation in southern Alberta. Now she is organizing an event July 13-28 that she hopes will involve numerous groups interested in water. The project will see people walk part of the 350 kilometres from the Saskatchewan-Alberta border to the headwaters in the mountains. “Groups all along the way have the same concerns as me,” said Davison. “Will there be enough? Will it be good quality? Is it being managed well?” Davison said she has been following progress of the South Saskatchewan river basin regional plan and wants to make sure water issues are given their due when the plan is finalized. “It needs to be right,” she said. She is planning the walk with Castle Crown Wilderness Coalition employee Carolyn Aspeslet. They are spreading word of the event and finding groups interested in hosting one of the 16 walk segments, which will be spread over 16 days. “The two of us are sort of heading it, and we will be the two in charge of the whole thing, but what we’re hoping it will be is basically 16 different segments with different people with different initiatives,” said Davison. The westbound route will follow Highway 1 from the border to Medicine Hat, Highway 3 from Medicine Hat to Pincher Creek and Highway 507 past Beaver Mines and into the crown wilderness area. “Since we want to highlight many different stewardship initiatives, the walk is not the type where one person or group walks the whole route,” reads information about the event. “Instead, the 350 km will be divided into 16 sections of between 20 and 25 km each. Then a local group will adopt each section, and will be responsible for assuring that their entire section is walked.” On the last day of the event, July 28, Davison said everyone who participated or who is interested will be invited to walk the last leg into the headwaters of the Castle River. A website or a link from the coalition website is in the works so individuals and groups can see the proposed route and commit to walking one of its segments. Davison hopes some of the groups will host events or speakers in evenings after the walking is done for the day to highlight various conservation projects. She and Aspeslet have applied for grants to defray costs, but those have not been confirmed.

However, there is no cost to any group or individual wishing to participate. “I know there’s tons of people out there. I just don’t know where to find them.” For more information, contact Davison at 403-628-3378 or brendadavison@yahoo.com and Aspeslet at office@ccwc.ab.ca.

Process transforms excess crop residue Fuel and fertilizer | Ontario company looks to launch pilot plant that will process corn stover BY JEFFREY CARTER FREELANCE WRITER

SHAKESPEARE, Ont. — An Ontario company plans to put a novel technology to work that transforms crop residues into fertilizer and fuel pellets. Cennatek hopes to begin building a pilot plant in Shakespeare by fall and process a small amount of corn stover over the winter, said Nick Ruzich, the company’s director of research

and development. Extracting nutrients from the stover will enhance the combustion properties of the remaining material. “We can take any residue, but we’re initially focusing on corn residue,” Ruzich said. “Our fertilizer at the minimum is as good as commercial fertilizer.… We’re planning to sell it back to some of the same farmers who are supplying us with the stover.” Charlie Dunsmore, owner of Quality Fertilizers in Shakespeare, is working with Cennatek to establish the pilot plant and compress the stover into fuel pellets. He said Cennatek’s long-term vision is to establish plants with five or six times the capacity of the pilot project. Future locations include Alberta, where there’s a reliance on coal-fired electricity, and Brazil, where the technology could be applied to sugar cane residue.

AUNG OO RESEARCHER

The process introduces a new revenue source for Ontario corn growers, saves nutrients that might otherwise leach out of the stover and leaves growers with fewer residues to worry about. Today’s corn hybrids produce a prodigious amount of stover: more than what’s needed to maintain soil organic matter levels. As well, many farmers in Perth and Oxford counties, which are known for their dairy, swine and poultry production, also add organic matter to the soil in the form of manure. Aung Oo, a researcher with the BowmanCentreforTechnologicalCommercialization in Sarnia, Ont., said Ontario has more than three million tonnes of crop residue that can be harvested without compromising soil organic levels. However, amounts vary from farm to farm and region to region depending on rotation, soil type and existing organic matter. “You can only take 20 percent of the residues (overall). You have to leave 80 percent in the field,” Oo said. The nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and micro-nutrients that are extracted from the stover will be marketed in liquid form, most likely as a 5-18-5 starter fertilizer or as foliar fertilizer. They will also be sold for the home and garden and landscape markets, with which Quality Fertilizers is already involved. Dunsmore said he will be able to process three to four tonnes of stover per hour and package it in his bagging facility. Stover processing could reach 15,000 tonnes a year within two or three years, and future increases are possible. He estimated that one to two tonnes of corn stover per acre can be harvested in a sustainable manner.

RESEARCH | COLLEGE-FOUNDATION COLLABORATION

Sask. college makes foray into ag research Teams up with research foundation | Parkland College first regional college in Sask. to undertake applied research program BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Parkland College is the first regional college in Saskatchewan to undertake an applied research program. “It’s a bold new step for regional colleges in Saskatchewan, and especially for Parkland, so we’re really happy to have the opportunity to do it,” said Gwen Machnee, Parkland’s co-ordinator for university and applied research. “Agriculture was one of the most obvious because it’s such a large industry in Saskatchewan and also in our region.” The 40-year-old college’s five campus locations include Canora, Esterhazy, Fort Qu’Appelle, Melville and Yorkton. Training centres are in Kamsack and Yorkton. Parkland College is working with East Central Research Foundation in Canora, Sask., to jointly pursue new agricultural applied research projects near Yorkton. “(It’s) a match made in heaven,” Machnee said. “It seemed like a really perfect match because we have some of the scientists available and we have students in programs who will be looking for work experience and summer jobs. ECRF have contacts with industry for rustling up research projects.” Several activities are already underway. The City of Yorkton is providing a five-year lease on a quarter section of farmland close to the city. The site w ill provide space for applied research projects operated by the college and ECRF. It will also be used for hands-on instruction through the

college’s 42-week agriculture crop production program, which began in February. The ECRF is a non-profit organization established in 1996 on land just west of Canora. It undertakes applied research projects and demonstrates specialized crop protection technologies to local producers. Canora is about 50 kilometres north of Yorkton. Under the agreement, ECRF will hire a farm technician while the college will employ summer students or work experience students. College

they’ve got the equipment. We certainly couldn’t afford to farm if we had to purchase the equipment.” Government funding allows the ECRF to conduct trials on topics as varied as seed treatments, crop residues, fertilizer application rates and weed and pest control. Machnee said there will be a lot of plot work similar to research foundations around the province. Only one-third of the land will be used for plots. The rest will consist of regular cropland, which may be harvested and sold, depending on the

arrangement with the companies involved. The ECRF is one of eight producerdirected research and demonstration sites in Saskatchewan that make up the Agriculture–Applied Research Management (Agri-ARM) network. Machnee said the college has also applied for an applied research development grant. “If we get that, that will be the first National Science Research Council grant that has been given to a regional college in Saskatchewan,” she said.

PESTS | GIANT AFRICAN SNAIL

Crop-eating snails snuffed SYDNEY, Australia (Reuters) — A baseball-sized snail with an insatiable appetite has been seized and destroyed by Australian officials, who said it posed a significant threat to local agriculture. The animal was found creeping across a Brisbane shipping container yard and identified as a giant African snail, an East African pest capable of growing up to 30 centimetres long and one kilogram in weight. It is known to eat 500 species of crops, fruits, native Australian plants and even other giant African snails, according to an Australian government website. “Giant African snails are one of the world’s largest and most damaging land snails,” said Paul Nixon, the agriculture department’s acting regional manager. The snail can lay 1,200 eggs a year, tolerates extreme temperatures and has few natural enemies in Australia. It also carries parasites that can infect humans with meningitis, which can be fatal. The last major Australian outbreak of the snail was in 1977, when 300 giant snails were exterminated.

instructors Michael Hall and Sarah Lipoth will be the scientists involved in the new projects. Machnee said this year’s $150,000 budget is small because it’s already late in the season. “We’ve been planning this since December, but we don’t have a lot of time to get everything in place for the crop season,” she said. “We don’t have the equipment. That’s why the partnership with East Central works so well because East Central has all the plot seeding equipment… We’ve got the land,

Solid progress at trade talks but no quick Japan entry Trans-Pacific Partnership looks to reduce barriers SINGAPORE (Reuters) — Progress is being made in Trans-Pacific Partnership trade talks but hurdles remain and Japan is unlikely to be set to join the next round in May, negotiators said last week. They pointed to a tough road for the 11 nations hoping for a deal this year. If Japan wants to take part, it must first hold bilateral meetings with existing members and be supported by a consensus to “keep up the good momentum” as the countries prepare for the next talks in Peru, said Singapore negotiator Ng Bee Kim.

“I don’t think we’re looking at Ja p a n s p e c i f i c a l l y c o m i n g o n board in Lima,” Ng told a news conference after the 16th round of the three-year-old talks ended in Singapore. The TPP, which has grown from seven countries, aims to eliminate barriers to goods and services and address issues including the movement of electronic data, market access for financial firms and copyright protection. Canada has been pressing for membership into the organization.

Co-operatives forecast larger German wheat crop in 2013 Group predicts 45.22 million tonnes of grains HAMBURG, Germany (Reuters) — Germany will harvest 23.5 million tonnes of wheat of all types in 2013, up 5.4 percent from 22.3 million tonnes in 2012, the giant German Farm Co-operatives Association said last week in its first harvest estimate. The association forecast Germany’s 2013 winter rapeseed crop will rise to 5.38 million tonnes from 4.80 million tonnes in 2012. It forecast Germany’s 2013 grain crop of all types at 45.22 million tonnes against 45.17 million

tonnes in 2012. Sowings of winter wheat, barley and rye had been expanded while plants had so far generally come through the winter well with snow cover preventing frost damage, the association said. “Up to now there is no significant frost damage to winter plants,” it added. Frost damage can still occur for around a month and plants must also come through G er many’s changeable spring and summer weather.

LONDON, Ont. — Biochar has the potential to revolutionize Canadian agriculture, but only if the cost of producing the soil amendment falls. “Biochar is a good thing,” said Don Harfield, a lead researcher with the thermochemical processing section of Alberta Innovates Technology Futures. “It’s so good for the soil, you can look at it as chicken soup of the soil …

but it’s not available in commercial quantities.” Harfield told the Green Rural Opportunities Summit in London March 4 that the cost factor may begin to change if a proposal at one of Alberta’s pulp and paper mills moves forward. The mill would use pyrolysis to transform organic waste into 5,000 to 7,000 tonnes a year of biochar, as well as bio-oil. Harfield said the company wants to reduce plant costs, provide an environmental benefit and establish a new revenue stream. The initiative wouldn’t produce enough biochar to address largescale agricultural carbon issues. Instead, Harfield sees the material being used for higher value applications such as replacing the growing mediums now used in the greenhouse sector or as a soil amendment for the home garden market. Harfield said the soil amendment would have multiple benefits in temperate soil, especially those with lower carbon levels: improvement to soil structure, soil porosity, waterholding capacity and providing a place where bacteria can thrive. “If all you do is put nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium on the soil, it tends to reduce biological activity and over time actually reduces the soil’s ability to produce its own nutrients,” Harfield said. “If you add biochar, it increases the carbon level and better enables the soil life to take up nutrients. Over time you can increase the ability of the plants to produce their own nutrients. We’ve proved it out with our greenhouse and growth chambers and now we’re starting with field plots.” He said biochar can also reduce greenhouse gas emissions in two ways: decrease reliance on energyrich commercial fertilizers in agriculture and sequester carbon. Biochar is made through the process of pyrolysis, which exposes organic matter to heat in the absence of oxygen. The ratio of biochar to bio-oil varies, depending on the temperature. Biochar produced under lower temperatures of 450 to 500 C is carbon rich. The technique is similar to that used by indigenous peoples of South America’s Amazonian basin to improve the region’s nutrient-poor, tropical soil. “The terra preta soils of the Amazon have been there for 2,000 years,” Harfield said. Ultimately, the commercial potential of pyrolysis may depend on maximizing the value of the end products. Researchers at Western’s University’s Institute for Chemicals and Fuels near London are focused on further refining the bio-oil portion to produce high value chemicals.

RESEARCH | CHANGE IN FEDERAL FOCUS

Ag Canada moving away from wheat breeding Transition will take a few years | Federal researchers will instead focus on areas such as disease and insect resistance BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Agriculture Canada’s new strategy aimed at gradually withdrawing financial resources from wheat breeding and varietal development is beginning to resonate throughout the industry. Stephen Morgan Jones, director general for the prairie ecozone at Agriculture Canada’s science and technology branch, said the federal agriculture department is moving ahead with plans to redirect public research money away from downstream wheat research, including the development and commercialization of new field-ready wheat varieties. Over time, Agriculture Canada will focus fewer resources on variety development and commercialization and more on so-called “upstream research” related to disease resistance, insect resistance and identifying new genetic resources. The transition out of wheat breeding is expected to take place over several years and new AC wheat varieties will continue to be registered for several years, Morgan Jones added. But already, a number of respected wheat breeders and senior plant pathologists are leaving Agriculture Canada. In addition, the federal agriculture department has scaled back its support for pre-registration testing of new wheat lines. Last month, wheat experts attending the Prairie Grain Development Committee (PGDC) meetings in Saskatoon spent part of the week discussing ways to ensure that preregistration or co-op testing for promising new wheat lines would not be disrupted by the partial withdrawal of federal resources.

Agriculture Canada’s funding shift is beginning to make waves in wheat breeding circles. This file photo shows wheat being harvested in a plot at the University of Saskatchewan. | FILE PHOTO Before new wheat lines are registered for commercial production in Western Canada, they are entered into pre-registration or co-op trials that assess in-field performance. Agriculture Canada has traditionally covered the entire cost of coordinating those trials. But beginning this year, that coordination function will be scaled back. In the future, responsibility for coordinating and conducting the trials will be shared with other wheat breeding organizations, including university programs and private sector companies. Morgan Jones said the decision to begin withdrawing Agriculture Canada resources from co-op testing is consistent with Ottawa’s intention to develop fewer wheat lines in the future. “Agriculture Canada, up until fairly recently, has probably occupied 90 percent of the test space (in western Canadian wheat co-ops) but now,

we’re down to almost half of the entries going into (the trials),” Morgan Jones said. With the change in research focus, “we feel we should be bearing less of the cost and taking some of those resources and putting them back into up-front science.” In an interview, Morgan Jones stressed that Agriculture Canada will scale back its participation in co-op trials gradually, in a way that does not jeopardize the testing system. “In the short term, our position is that we will obviously not want to see the co-op trials compromised in any way and we have made arrangements (to ensure that the trials go ahead) for this year. But beyond 2013, we will be looking at alternative models,” he said. Under the new system, it is expected that private research companies such as AgQuest and ICMS will play a larger role in co-ordinating the trials. The monetary value of Agriculture Canada’s contribution to the

co-op testing system is difficult to estimate but monetary and in-kind support has been estimated at $100,000 to $200,000 per co-op program. As of last year, there were 13 co-op programs being conducted for wheat rye, and triticale, all of them co-ordinated by Agriculture Canada scientists. Morgan Jones said Agriculture Canada will likely continue to withdraw resources from co-op trials as its proportion of new wheat lines entered is reduced. “Over the next five years, we would, I think, expect to see the co-op system move more towards a costrecovery mode,” he said. “Agriculture Canada may continue to pay 50 percent of the costs if we’re (accounting for) 50 percent of the entries but some of the other players that are starting to come in here — and particularly the private sector entries — we would expect them to pay their way and I think they would

likely not have much of an argument with that.” The reduced role in co-op testing is just one of changes affecting Agriculture Canada’s research operations. Efforts aimed at relocating research currently conducted at the Cereal Research Centre in Winnipeg are also continuing, with closure of that facility slated for March 2014. Wheat breeders employed at the CRC will be relocated to Brandon and plant pathologists will be relocated to Morden, Man. However, the closure of the CRC has coincided with the loss of some prominent staff members. Most notably, the retirement of senior research scientists Jeannie Gilbert and Andy Tekauz, both know n for their research w ith fusarium head blight and other cereal diseases, has prompted some in the industry to criticize Ottawa’s decision to close the CRC at a time when western Canadian losses related to fusarium head blight continue to rise. Morgan Jones said fusarium head blight continues to be a high priority for Agriculture Canada, adding that the two positions vacated by Gilbert and Tekauz will be filled. The decision to close CRC was made because the facility could no longer facilitate the science being conducted, he added. “Both of those scientists (Gilbert and Tekauz) were asked to consider a move to Morden, where the pathology work is being focused,” Morgan Jones said. “To my knowledge, both of them … did not wish to move and both of them have subsequently, and very recently, taken early retirement.” “Fusarium continues to be a very high priority for us.” The closure of CRC in Winnipeg is expected to result in 40 job cuts.

Bill would ban transport of horses for slaughter American policy | U.S. senators introduce bill that would ban slaughter of horses for human consumption BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

American politicians have introduced a bill that would ban the transport of U.S. horses to Canada and Mexico for slaughter. A bipartisan coalition of politicians, including Democratic senator Mary Landrieu of Louisiana and Republican senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina introduced the bill March 13.

It would ban the slaughter of horses for human consumption in the United States and prohibit the transport of horses for slaughter beyond U.S. borders. “The Safeguard American Food Exports (SAFE) Act would … end the current export of American horses for slaughter abroad,” the Humane Society of the United States, the American Society for the Prevention of the Cruelty to Animals and the

Animal Welfare Institute said in a joint news release. “Last year, more than 160,000 American horses were sent to a cruel death by a grisly foreign industry that produces unsafe food for consumers.” Federal politicians have introduced several bills since the early 2000s to ban horse slaughter in the U.S., but none have become law.

Welfare Institute’s deputy director of government affairs, said the most recent bill may have the necessary momentum to become law because of the horse meat scandal in Europe, a proposal to open a slaughter plant in New Mexico and a senator who ardently opposes horse slaughter. “I think this time we have a Senate sponsor (Landrieu) who is very personally involved in this,” Heyde said. “She has (recovered) rescue horses from auctions and she has a young daughter who is a competitive rider. She was a competitive rider.” Heyde, who helped introduce the first bill to outlaw horse slaughter in 2002, said previous attempts came close to succeeding. “We’ve always had the votes to pass any of these. We’ve passed the House of Representatives before and we’ve passed committee,” he said. “Even now, we know we have the votes to pass a bill out of both chambers of the Congress.” Bill desBarres, chair of the Horse Welfare Alliance of Canada, disagreed. He said he doesn’t think the U.S. will ever ban horse slaughter or the transpor t of horses to Canada because Americans treasure personal freedom. “Ultimately on this Congress bill application, I think there will be a lot of hoopla and they will spend a lot of time on it, but generally speaking, people want the right (to eat what they want).” The bill, if passed, would curtail the flow of American horses to slaughter plants in Alberta and Quebec. Horse slaughter ended in the U.S. more than six years ago after the government stopped funding inspections at plants where horses were killed for human consumption. The number of horses slaughtered in Canada increased to 113,000 from 50,000 following the de facto ban, which was rescinded five years later in 2011. DesBarres said it’s hard to know how badly Canadian plants will suffer if Americans stop shipping horses north. “I’m not in the business, per se, so I can’t (speculate) on profit and loss, but I would certainly hope that it remains an end-of-life option for our herd in Canada.” However, he also said horse prices in Canada should rise if the ban is

enacted, which would provide an opportunity to expand the industry. “We are seeing an increase in horse feedlots in Canada. That will help us with the supply if a supply problem happens,” he said. “There’s some in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and I just heard the other day about one in Ontario that’s (under) development.” Heyde said the U.S. bill is designed to stop the flow of American horses around North America because the closure of American plants has pushed the problem across the border. “It would definitely hit on Canadian facilities because a lot of the horses are from the U.S.,” he said. “(But) I imagine it (horse slaughter) could exist in Canada on some level.” The U.S. bill is a response to a company that wants to open a horse slaughter plant in New Mexico. If approved, Valley Meat Company LLC would be the first facility in the U.S. to slaughter horses for human consumption since 2007. Valley Meat has applied to the U.S. Department of Agriculture to provide inspection services for the plant. The department is processing the application and the New York Times reported in late February that it was expected to approve the request in the next two months. Valley Meat claims that the USDA must provide inspectors for all applicable species under the Federal Meat Inspection Act, which includes horses.

Ontario farmers cautious about biomass potential Acres remain small | Co-operative president calls for increased market development BY JEFFREY CARTER FREELANCE WRITER

LONDON, Ont. — Ontario farmers are interested in growing biomass crops such as switchgrass and miscanthus, but few are willing to commit many acres. The president of the Ontario Biomass Producers Co-operative says his members represent more than 40,000 acres of farmland in southern Ontario but have planted only 1,000 acres to these crops. Some members haven’t any planted any acres. “We’ve heard about a lot of opportunities, but who’s writing the cheques? It’s going to take money,” Jim Fisher told the Growing Green Rural Opportunities Summit in London March 4. “As farmers, we’ve got together to try to address the missing link: the supply side. We feel we can do that as a group …(but) if there is a market, we haven’t found it, at least not in Ontario.” Members have managed to find niche markets. Fisher said last year’s drought and hay shortage in parts of the province increased the price of July-harvested switchgrass to as much as 14 cents per pound at the Elmira hay market, which is a farmgate value of about 12 cents. A more reasonable price for Julyharvested switchgrass might be in seven to nine cents per lb., he added. Fisher has a small acreage of switchgrass in Halton, grows hay commercially and feeds beef cattle. “The cows like it. The protein was 5.5 per cent for switchgrass cut in late July.” Animal bedding is another possibility for switchgrass and miscanthus, which have better absorbency than straw. One hundred large bales were sold last year, and Fisher said prices in the five to seven cent per lb. range may be a reasonable expectation. About 1,000 large bales were sold as substrate for the mushroom industry at prices similar to those in the bedding market. The fuel market has the greatest potential, and Fisher said it appears to be developing in a small way in eastern Ontario. Prices for raw unprocessed switchgrass have been

four to five cents per lb. He said the co-op is also interested in selling whole bales for fuel, but so far the demand has been for pellets. A whole bale, large combustion system may be a way to make agricultural biomass fuel more affordable. Ian Moncrieff of Canadian Biofuels in Springford, Ont., is focused on the pellet market but so is making them from reclaimed wood. That may change, he added. He sees long-term potential for agricultural biomass as a feedstock, especially if his vision for additional pellet plants becomes a reality. He said he’s in touch with European parties interested in financing another three plants in Ontario that would likely use agricultural biomass.

JIM FISHER ONTARIO BIOMASS PRODUCERS CO-OPERATIVE

One challenge has been to persuade farmers to make long-term supply commitments. “It’s like trying to herd cats,” Moncrieff said. Transportation is another challenge for Ontario biomass. It costs more to move pellets to market compared to British Columbia and the Atlantic provinces, where the Canadian biomass industry is focused. “Canada is currently the second largest pellet producer in the world, but we use less than three per cent of it. Most of it (about 1.6 million tonnes in 2012) goes to Europe,” Moncrieff said. He has had success marketing wood pellets and will be able to produce 40,000 tonnes annually by the end of April with the installation of his second pellet mill. Moncrieff would like the Ontario government to support the industry by offering incentives for installation of biomass heating units. He said heating costs could be reduced by 30 percent compared to propane, which is the fuel of choice for thousands of families in the province.

Calgary Co-op urges suppliers to make changes Farming practices | Local suppliers will have to alter systems within five years STORIES BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Calgary Co-op members have voted in favour of the co-op buying its eggs and pork from farmers who do not use battery cages for laying hens and gestation stalls for sows. The resolution was passed 97-67 at the Co-op’s annual meeting March 13. The original resolution asked for change within three years, but the resolution was changed after lively debate to five years so that suppliers have time to change their barns. Local food activists Clint Robertson and Paul Hughes argued it is an ethical change for the improved welfare of food animals. “The image you have of farm animals is largely the stuff of children’s picture books,” said Robertson. He also said three years is enough time to offer eggs from free range, free run, organic and group housing because there are enough local suppliers to fill the shelves until wider changes are made. “If you put it out there in a three year time frame, the supply would be there,” he said. “It may be difficult for these big industrial factory farming type operations to make their numbers work to do it in a certain period, but I think a lot of smaller, more traditional operators could fill the void.… This is an opportunity to build capacity in local food production.” Hughes said Calgary Co-op has a policy of supporting local farmers, and the changes would not be as costly as large operations claim. “If we do this, I can guarantee that everybody in North America that has anything to do with animal welfare or food justice or food policy will hear about this and this will provide tens of millions of dollars of exposure for Calgary Co-op,” he said. Hughes lives in Calgary and has been before the courts several times fighting for the right to keep poultry in his backyard. Robertson is an urban planner with the city and a part-time organic farmer. Co-op chief executive officer Deane Collinson said the co-op’s stores already offer organic, free run and omega 3 eggs as well as the conventional variety so consumers have choice. “We do believe it is the right direction with chicken and sows.” He said other food companies, including McDonald’s and Burger King, are looking at changing their buying requirements, but the Co-op also realizes pork producers are suffering financially. It does not want to force change that could put them out of business. “It is one of those things that can

happen slowly,” he said. Supporters of the pork and egg sectors said change is already on the way, but it is costly. Abandoning sow stalls could cost the Alberta pork industry $65 million, said Jim Haggins, past chair of Alberta Pork. “Our industry is in a state of crisis. We have lost 60 percent of our producers in the last six years and 35 percent of our production. Many more are facing the same scenario. Our industry is converting to loose sow gestation. It is not a quick process. Three years is totally not realistic.” A revised code of practice for the swine sector will be published this June and within that code are provisions for change. E g g Fa r m e r s o f A l b e r t a hav e already voted to start phasing out traditional battery cages for laying hens, said Susan Gal, head of the Egg Farmers of Alberta which represents about 150 producers.

This is an opportunity to build capacity in local food production. CLINT ROBERTSON LOCAL FOOD ACTIVIST

“There is no right system for our hens. There are several different options. The best ones to make those decisions are our farmers,” she said. Egg Farmers chair Ben Waldner told the group change should be made with caution. “I share the same values in animal care that a lot of your members do but I also share a concern because I live this day to day,” he said. “We need to educate ourselves and be sure the direction we move in is the right direction,” he said. “We have seen so many failures in free range, open style housing with cannibalism that when we try to address one problem, we need to be sure that we do not put ourselves into a situation that is even worse.” He said retailers such as the Co-op need to work with farmers to make sure they understand each other and can develop a program that works for both. “It is not all about economics. Sometimes it is about doing what is right, but we need to make sure what we are doing is the right thing,” he said. “It is not as easy as what is written on a piece of paper.” The Calgary Co-op is the largest retail co-operative in North America with 440,000 members and more than $1.1 billion in sales for the 2012 fiscal year.

PRODUCTION | ANIMAL WELFARE

Industry remains under pressure to alter welfare practices Confinement systems | Big companies are demanding changes, but not all farmers are seeing incentives Food companies are under increasing pressure to adopt stronger animal welfare standards for suppliers, but their statements are often vague as to when changes are expected. Most attention is devoted to ending confinement systems such as cages for laying hens and gestation sows for pork producers. Calgary Co-op members passed a motion March 13 urging the retailer to stop selling eggs and pork from farms using intensive confinement systems within five years. “For many of the companies, the timeline is rather vague because there really is a problem with sourcing product this way since the majority of animals are sourced from gestation stalls,” said Ed Pajor, an animal behaviourist and welfare researcher at the University of Calgary’s veterinary school.

“It really has started to snowball this past year. The last two years have been just huge among different companies that have decide to source product this way.” Pajor sat on McDonald’s Corp.’s animal welfare panel and the National Pork Board’s animal welfare committee and has researched humane farm animal care. McDonald’s announced it wants pork from farms that do not use gestation stalls by 2022. “The reaction of the pork industry was they were very disappointed with McDonald’s,” Pajor said. “They felt it was taking away the freedom of producers to make choices, they felt producers were already moving in that direction and they felt the science wasn’t 100 percent clear.” Pajor researched alternate sow housing when he was at Perdue Uni-

versity. No system was perfect, he said. Management plays a large role in how these systems can work, but there are no guaranteed ways to control new problems such as increased aggression among pregnant sows. “I think we can do better on gestation stalls, but it is not clear what the alternative is and how sustainable it is or how expensive it is,” he said. Some companies that demanded the changes offered producers bonuses and others have invested in research. However, farmers usually end up paying to renovate their barns. “For the most part, the industry is expected to carry the large cost of doing those things,” Pajor said. There is also a limit to what people will spend for food, and some agri-

culture economists are starting to investigate the costs of animal welfare. Polls show people say they are willing to pay more for kinder, gentler animal care, but lower prices guide their decisions once they enter the grocery store. “If people believe animals should be raised in a certain way, they are not necessarily going to pay you more for doing what they think is the right thing,” he said. A rural-urban divide exists on animal welfare and agriculture, and few urban shoppers realize that codes of practice exist. The National Farm Animal Care Council is working with producers, processors, retailers and restaurants to develop improved codes of practices, said council manager Jackie Wepruk. She said more food companies are under pressure to make changes, but they need to be informed about what is already being done within the agriculture industry to improve animal welfare.

“There is an encouragement to move away from confinement based systems,” she said. However, animal welfare is a collective responsibility and these improvements cost money, she added. “When the conversation comes to alternate housing systems, that becomes the big question: who is going to be willing to pay for these transitions?” Wepruk said. “The more companies that do this, the less likely they will be able to source product because it won’t be there.” Changes are happening throughout the developed world. In 2001, the European Commission gave its members 12 years to ban sow stalls, but half the countries have not complied. Last week, the commission wrote a formal notice letter to Belgium, Cyprus, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Poland and Portugal to implement the new rule or face legal action.

The left-leaning Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives typically issues an “alternative budget” in the weeks leading up to the federal budget, calling for more support for working class interests. On the farm policy side, recommendations typically call for more support for small and family farmers. This year, the centre gave the agricultural section of its alternative budget to Food Secure Canada (FSC), which used it to call for a national food strategy emphasizing local food and healthy eating and criticizing the current policy of promoting food exports. “Having no national food policy is expensive, costing Canadian taxpayers billions in stopgap programs that don’t address the underlying issues,” said a statement from FSC, which bills itself as the place where “agriculture, environment, health, food and justice intersect.” It called on the Conservatives to “put food in the federal budget” with a series of specific proposals: • A $650 million annual program to support beginning and retiring farmers, tax incentives for sustainable agricultural practices and education. • A local food procurement plan that would require federal institutions to set a target of using local produce for at least 25 percent of their food needs. • A $100 million program to enhance nutritious food security in northern Canada. The basic concept of the FSC proposals is “food sovereignty,” which reduces dependence on exports, imports and corporate control of the food system. It notes that almost 900,000 Canadians used food banks each month in

2012, some farmers are leaving the business and Canada is one of the few industrialized countries without a student nutrition program. “Having no national food policy is expensive,” said the food section of the alternative budget. “We could be saving tax dollars by preventing chronic diet-related diseases, we could be stimulating local economies by encouraging consumption of local foods, we could be protecting and enhancing our environment by promoting ecological food production.” As well, policies could help alleviate widespread hunger, it said. “Yet we are doing none of these things.” The document argued that while the Canadian Federation of Agriculture and the Conference Board of Canada are working on national food strategies, “both of these initiatives are primarily about the prosperity of the industrial food system, now the biggest and one of the most concentrated manufacturing sectors in Canada.” The CFA argues that its national food policy discussions are primarily aimed at making sure primary producers are part of and benefit from a national food strategy. All political parties pledged to promote a national food strategy during the 2011 election campaign, but agriculture minister Gerry Ritz said recently his government has no deadline for it, and competing proposals remain too unfocused to prompt government action. In April, the conference board will bring together scores of industry players at a Toronto conference to discuss continuing work on the project and to promise launch of a board national food strategy next year. It will lean heavily on co-operation between producers, processors and retailers.

MARKETS | WHEAT TRADE

Domestic needs imperil Russian exports Depleted stocks | Government’s 2013 harvest target thought to be too high MOSCOW, Russia (Reuters) — Russia plans to buy wheat on the domestic market in the AugustOctober period to replenish stocks after last year’s drought. The move is seen bringing more risks for the country’s exportable surplus. If the government ends up competing with exporters for grain, it could jeopardize Russia’s traditional role as one of the cheapest suppliers on the world market, typically attracting interest from price-sensitive buyers in North Africa and the Middle East. Russia is looking to rebuild depleted stocks after a drought last year slashed its wheat crop by a third. The country’s restocking plan would set a bottom price for the new harvest, traders and analysts have said. The government is aiming for a starting price band of $190-$230 per tonne, and the total volume of pur-

chases will depend on the 2013 grain harvest, said deputy agriculture minister Ilya Shestakov. The government could buy six million tonnes of grain this year, mainly wheat and corn, said Dmitry Rylko, head of the IKAR think-tank. The government has sold 2.2 million tonnes of grain from its grain stocks, known as its intervention stocks, since the start of the season and plans to sell an additional 2.3 million tonnes by July. This will decrease its stock to 300,000 tonnes. The damage to Russia’s 2012 crop generated a huge premium for old wheat crop supplies versus new crop. Some traders have already bought Russia’s new crop wheat at $265 to $275 a tonne on a free-on-board basis for deep water ports in southern Russia, SovEcon agricultural analysts have said. Current prices were seen at $350 in the region.

TOUGHER.

One European trader stressed that a price in the $190-$230 per tonne range in the procurement regions would equate to $250 to $290 on a f.o.b. basis. The government is targeting a 2013 grain harvest of 95 million tonnes, up from last year’s 71 million, which the country needs to cover domestic demand, replenish stocks and sustain an exportable surplus. Some officials, lobbies and analysts expect the crop to fall short of the government’s target. IKAR recently said Russia’s 2013 grain crop would be 90 to 92 million tonnes, including 50 million tonnes of wheat. A harvest of that size would leave 20 million tonnes of grain for potential exports in 2013-14. This season’s nominal exportable surplus has already been exhausted, with exports running at slightly more than 14 million tonnes to date.

PROCESSING | PRIVATE STANDARDS

Report calls for national production standards Food retailers | Conference Board of Canada says demands from buyers are burdening food businesses, producers BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Demands from food retailers for private production and quality standards on products they sell are costly and bureaucratic burdens on producers and processors, say industry officials. Last week, the Conference Board of Canada issued a report that called for government and industry to create national standards, including government moves “to incorporate formal recognition of private standards systems.” The report Pathway to Partnership said private industry food requirements that often exceed or contradict government requirements have created costs and confusion. “The proliferation of private stan-

dards puts new burdens on food businesses, which bear the costs of audits and certifications in addition to the costs of existing regulatory compliance,” said the report. “There is also the question of how much the multiplicity of private standards can be counted on to protect the public interest.” The “private standards” imposed by market-powerful major food retails including Walmart, Tim Horton’s and McDonald’s can range from requirements for food safety practices on the farm or in processing plants to the environmental footprint of food production or the treatment of animals on the farm. Often it is part of a marketing campaign. Northern Ontario beef farmer and Canadian Federation of Agriculture

president Ron Bonnett said the growth of product standard demands is a cost and a hurdle for producers. “When you have different buyers imposing different standards to appease shareholders or customers, that includes costs in the system that get passed down to the processors and often ultimately to the farmer,” he said in an interview. “Government requirements already impose costs that are necessary in the system and some customers demand more.” It also injects confusion into the food system about what requirements are needed. “It really is an issue and it is growing,” said Canadian Meat Council director of government and media relations Ron Davidson. “Different standards demanded by different customers really do add inefficien-

cies and costs to the system.” The Conference Board report recommended that governments work with private companies to develop standards that work for consumers and the industry, although there was no recommendation on how standards can accommodate constantly escalating industry requirements. “Achieving food system objectives requires contributions by both private and public sectors and those of the private sector will likely become more important in the future,” sais the report. “Private standards seem to offer a pathway for improved public-private cooperation to help address these challenges.” However, it warned that to be part of the picture, private food standards should demonstrate “effectiveness and reliability” and create the condi-

tions for “more efficient and effective food system governance.” The Conference Board, which hosts a second national food policy convention in Toronto in April and issued the report in preparation for the conference, said a national effort to standardize rules is important to end confusion and costs in the industry. “Reducing these inefficiencies could free up regulatory resources that may be better allocated to areas of greater priority,” it said. The report recommended that federal and provincial governments “jointly agree to develop a national concurrence system that would eliminate unnecessary costs and system duplication and begin to incorporate formal recognition of private standards systems.”

CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — U.S. farmers are preparing to sow 96.956 million acres of corn this spring, the second largest area since 1937 and slightly less than the 97.255 million acres that were planted last year, according to a producer survey by Illinois-based analytical and research/brokerage firm Allendale Inc. Allendale, in an emailed news release, said using the firm’s estimated harvested acreage and the company’s trend yield of 156.97 bushels per acre, it would imply a record production of 13.912 billion bu. Last year’s U.S. corn crop totaled 10.780 billion bu. The U.S. Department of Agriculture in its outlook forum over the winter pegged this season’s corn plantings at 96.5 million acres.

Soybean plantings were pegged by Allendale at 78.324 million acres, a record area and up 1.126 million from last year. This would imply a crop of 3.349 billion bu., the second largest and up from last year’s output of 3.015 billion. Allendale estimated U.S. wheat acreage for 2013 at 56.261 million, up 209,000 from USDA’s current outlook. The winter wheat area would indicate total wheat production of 2.204 billion bu., below last year’s crop of 2.269 billion. Allendale said it was the 24th annual producer survey that the firm had conducted and this year’s survey received a record response with 33 states represented.

FOOD | NEW PRODUCTS

Sask. processor sees potential in functional foods InfraReady expands | Hundreds of products come from Saskatoon facility BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A Saskatoon company that turns crops into value-added food ingredients continues to expand its product line with the addition of new functional food ingredients such as quinoa flakes and sprouted grain. Mark Pickard, president of InfraReady Products Ltd., says his company now produces more than 250 products, ranging from cereal and pulse-based flour, soup mixes, processed beans and lentils, flaked cereal grain, grits and whole grain baking products. The company, which processes Saskatchewan-grown crops using infrared energy, specializes in supplying industrial food ingredients to food manufacturers. Infrared processing gelatinizes the starches found in grain and pulses. The benefits of infrared processing include shorter cooking times, increased water absorption, enhanced shelf life and softer grain texture compared to raw, unprocessed grain. InfraReady’s client list includes large food companies such as Nestle, Dare and Gerber as well as lesser known manufacturers that focus on high-value niche markets. Some of the company’s newer products include purple-tinted wheat flour, processed quinoa flakes, sprouted grain and baking ingredients derived from waxy hulless barley. “Right now, we process about 60 different raw materials and we produce over 250 products,” Pickard said. “Generally, we’re processing about 4,000 metric tonnes per year.” Quinoa and waxy hulless barley are relatively minor crops in Saskatchewan, but their market potential could be significant. Waxy hulless barley, which plant breeders developed at the University of Saskatchewan’s Crop Development Centre, has unique end-use characteristics, including the ability to absorb and retain unusually high amounts of water. The absorptive capacity of processed waxy hulless barley makes it an attractive ingredient for specialty and functional food manufacturers that want to reduce the fat content in their baked products without affecting texture and consumer appeal. Studies also suggest that sprouted waxy hulless barley is an ideal source of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a non-protein amino acid that is thought to induce relaxation and enhance nervous system funct i o n i n p e o p l e s u f f e r i n g f ro m Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. In parts of Asia, specialty food products containing pre-germinated brown rice are recognized as a beneficial source of GABA. Preliminary studies suggest that

GABA levels in sprouted waxy hulless barley are up to five times higher than those found in pre-germinated brown rice. “Having an alternative to rice (as a source of GABA) might be popular in certain markets,” Pickard said. “There’s also a history of consumption of barley beverages in countries like Malaysia, so if these beverage products could be enhanced in GABA, there would probably be an opportunity for that. Our feeling is that to justify moving forward with it, we’d need a market of about 1,000 metric tonnes.” Demand for quinoa is also increasing rapidly, particularly among North American consumers. The tiny grain-like crop is gaining mainstream recognition as a glutenfree alternative to more common cereal grains. Processed quinoa makes an ideal addition to oat-based cereals and gluten-free health bars. “What we’re trying to do is keep abreast of the consumer trends and then try to provide ingredients that fit into those needs,” said Pickard. “Whether the gluten-free (diet) is a long-term food trend or a short-term … fad is hard to know, but we want to be able to supply companies that want that.” InfraReady got its start in the early 1990s when Pickard was working for Saskatchewan Wheat Pool as the head of processing research. In that role, he was tasked with looking for ways to add value to common crops grown in Saskatchewan. “One of the things that we found … was that to add any value to crops, they were often cooked in some form,” he said. “That’s what led us to looking at infrared cooking technology.” Pickard assessed the technology’s applicability, drew up a business plan, secured start-up funding from Sask Pool and established a small subsidiary company within the SWP structure. A few years later, when the pool was in the process of becoming a publicly traded company, consultants evaluated InfraReady’s operations and recommended that InfraReady be divested or closed. “It was, depending on how you looked at, either a crisis or an opportunity,” Pickard said. “I saw it as an opportunity to buy the company and with the help of a partner (Naicam, Sask., entrepreneur and seed grower) Bill Hetland and some venture capital from the provincial government, I was able to buy the company from the wheat pool.” Since then, the company has expanded its product line, moved into a new, 48,000 sq. foot processing facility and increased its workforce to 24 employees. Product and market development

Niche markets are growing for functional food ingredients and gluten-free products such as processed quinoa, says Mark Pickard, president of InfraReady Products Ltd., a Saskatoon-based company that uses infrared energy to pre-cook common agricultural crops. | FILE PHOTO continue to be top priorities for the company. Pickard recently sent samples of processed bean and pea flour to a business partner in Asia. A food manufacturer there was seeking a thickener for congee, a rice-based gruel that is common in many areas. A few years ago, InfraReady also acquired a small malt distribution company, Western Malt Distributers, which supplies malt to brew pubs, micro-breweries and food compa-

nies that use malted grain in their production process. “If you drink a locally made beer, chances are you’re drinking a product that was made from malt that we distributed.” Pickard said convenience has always been a key selling point for InfraReady’s products. It became even more critical in the 1990s when the company supplied pre-cooked wheat as food aid through World Vision to hungry residents in Sierra Leone.

“One of the feedback comments that we got from that work was that they liked our product because it was quick cooking,” Pickard said. “Convenience has always been a part of the key selling features of our products and still remains that way and … in a food aid situation … fuel can be as limiting as food.” InfraReady Products Ltd. has shipped ingredients to customers on five continents. Fifty-three percent of its sales are based in Canada and 35 percent in the United States.

Cows will pant, eat less and produce less milk when their core body temperature increases. Allen said cows prefer standing to lying on hot days. Cows stand to allow more of their surface area to disperse. Researchers fitted each cow with an intra-vaginal sensor to measure

WASHINGTON, D.C. Reuters — The United States is concerned that World Trade Organization talks to help developing countries boost trade by removing customs barriers could fail because negotiators are stuck on basic issues. “We’re very worried about the current pace of work in Geneva,” U.S.

ambassador to the WTO Michael Punke said in an interview last week, referring to discussions on a “trade facilitation” package that WTO members hope to reach in December in Bali at their ninth ministerial meeting. “What trade facilitation does in a very mundane, but vital way is remove red tape” that impedes trade, Punke said. While some of the issues are complicated, negotiators are hung up on even simple ideas, like a proposal to require countries to put their customs forms on the internet so they can be easily downloaded by businesses, he said. WTO members in 2001 launched the Doha round of world trade talks with the goal of helping poor countries by tearing down barriers to trade in agriculture, manufacturing and services. MARKETS

Ukraine crop grows SINGAPORE (Reuters) — Ukraine’s grain production is likely to climb to 55 million tonnes in the year to June 2014 on favourable growing conditions, the country’s leading grains exporter said last week. Ukraine harvested 46.2 million tonnes of grain in 2012 versus 56.7 million tonnes in 2011. “The weather is very good so we expect our grains output to rise,” Andrew Druzyaka, director of the foreign department at Khlib Investbud, told reporters at an industry seminar.

Argentina presses farmers on wheat BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (Reuters) — Argentina is pushing farmers to produce more wheat by threatening to crack down on the fastexpanding barley sector, which growers are using as a hedge against wheat export curbs, sources told Reuters. With national inflation seen by private economists at 30 percent this year and global food demand rising, Argentina limits wheat and corn exports to ensure ample domestic supplies. But farmers say this policy hurts their profits and have shifted to planting barley, which is not subject to the curbs. While Argentine barley cultivation is soaring, the wheat crop is forecast at 9.4 million tonnes this season — way under the 201112 crop year’s 14.1 million tonnes, partly because of drought but also due to reduced seeding. At 8.6 million acres, Argentina’s 2012-13 wheat area was the lowest since the government adopted its

NEWS modern record-keeping system 44 years ago. Domestic commerce secretary Guillermo Moreno, feared by business as chief enforcer of the government’s frequent market interventions, told exporters that further growth in barley farming at the expense of wheat would not be tolerated.

Britain wrestles to control deer

Twinkies reborn under new owner NEW YORK, New York (Reuters) — The new owner of Hostess Brands Inc.’s snack cakes hopes to have Twinkies back on U.S. store shelves this summer, according to a member of the purchasing group. “Our family is thrilled to have the opportunity to re-establish these iconic brands with new creative marketing ideas and renewed sales efforts and investment,” Daren Metropoulos, a principal at his family’s private equity firm, told Reuters in an email last week. Daren’s father, Dean Metropoulos, teamed up with Apollo Global Management to offer Hostess $410 million US for Twinkies and other snack cakes. Hostess had discontinued the snack last November. GMO

China delays GM crops BEIJING, China (Reuters) — China has delayed the introduction of genetically modified rice and corn citing public fears, government scientists said. The world’s largest rice producer and consumer gave safety approvals

to B.t. rice and phytase corn in 2009, but has not yet begun commercial production, even though it has spent billions of yuan on research. “There are some debates .... We have not given the public enough knowledge about GMO crops,” Peng Yufa, a member of the GM crop biosafety committee under the ministry of agriculture, told reporters. “The crops have to be accepted by consumers who are willing to buy and by farmers who are willing to grow,” Peng said, adding that the process may take five years. The public remains concerned about the safety of GM crops, top agricultural official Chen Xiwen said last week, but he added it was inevitable that China would import GM crops in the future to meet the supply gap. The large-scale introduction of GM crops has been seen as a crucial part of China’s efforts to feed a fifth of the world’s population using less than a tenth of the world’s arable land.

GM goats’ milk breakthrough Milk from goats genetically modified to produce higher levels of a human antimicrobial protein has proven effective in treating diarrhea in young pigs. The findings show a potential for food products from transgenic animals to one day also benefit human health, said researchers at the University of California, Davis. The study shows that goats’ milk carrying elevated levels of the antimicrobial lysozyme, a protein found in human breast milk, can treat diarrhea caused by bacterial infection in the gastrointestinal tract. The findings offer hope that such milk may help prevent human diarrheal diseases that each year claim the lives of 1.8 million children around the world and impair the

LONDON, U.K. (Reuters) — There are now more deer in Britain than at any time since the Ice Age, said scientists at the University of East Anglia. The scientists said management efforts are not enough to stop deer populations spreading out of control. Without natural predators, deer populations are continuing to rise, causing a threat to biodiversity, scientists said in a report from the university. The research team studied the numbers, sex ratio and fertility of roe and muntjac deer across 234 sq. kilometres of forested land and heathland in Breckland, in Norfolk, north of London. The team found that while deer management appeared to control numbers at a stable level, it was only because thousands of deer are pushed out to the surrounding countryside each year, helping to drive the further spread of the animals. In the Breckland area studied, 53 percent of muntjac from the estimated population need to be culled and 60 percent of roe deer just to offset reproduction, the scientists said.

Meat packer cautious on upcoming year SAO PAULO, Brazil (Reuters) — Brazil’s JBS is opting to invest more cautiously this year as the world’s No. 1 meatpacker seeks to protect profits and scale down debt, chief executive officer Wesley Batista said last week. JBS plans capital expenditures of up to 1.2 billion reais ($609 million), Batista told analysts in a conference call to discuss fourth-quarter earnings. Last year, the company earmarked 1.6 billion reais for investments, way above the 900 million to one billion reais originally budgeted for capital spending. Batista pledged to further reduce JBS’s high debt and prioritize cash generation as a way to shore up confidence in the company’s growth strategy. Net debt fell to the equivalent of 3.4 times earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) in the fourth quarter and could reach as low as 2.5 times of EBITDA by year-end, he noted. “In general, compared to 2012, we are confident that in 2013 we will generate more cash and reduce leverage,” Batista said. JBS posted a fourth-quarter profit of 66.4 million reais ($33.85 million) last week. Shares rose 2.3 percent as fourthquarter earnings showed some resilience in the company’s top line despite the challenging outlook for meat packers, analysts said. While results underscored strong sales and favorable costs trends in JBS’s Mercosur beef division, it unmasked problems at the U.S. unit.

BEIJING, China (Reuters) — China has added to purchases of the U.S. corn crop that is due to be harvested after September, taking total orders since February to about 600,000 tonnes, traders said.

tively high domestic prices in China, the world’s second-largest corn consumer. Traders said large buyers, such as state-owned COFCO, are holding back from big purchases as they wait for U.S. corn prices to fall further, while Sinograin, the manager of China’s state reserves, may also turn to the United States after its domestic restocking program ends April 30. Sinograin is buying only from the domestic market, but it bought more than six million tonnes of U.S. corn in late 2011 and early 2012 to replenish low state reserves. T h e C h i c a g o B o a rd o f T ra d e December corn futures contract, which tracks the crop harvested this fall, lost 7.1 percent over the first two months of 2013. It was the second worst winter performance for the new crop contract in a decade. However, the declines have failed to dent growers’ enthusiasm for planting the feedgrain this spring. Sinograin has not been restocking at full tilt because domestic prices are hovering above government-set stockpile prices, company president Bao Kexin said. Beijing has set a price of $347 to $354 per tonne, but physical prices in the northeast recently reached as high as $374 per tonne. Bao also declined to say whether the company would continue to import corn this year, adding such decisions require government approval. State stockpiles are higher now than last year. “We expect Sinograin will import again this year if it cannot buy enough at home,” a corn trader said. “U.S. new corn prices are very cheap and attractive for the company.” U.S. pre-tax corn prices were about 23 percent below domestic rates in the port city of Shenzhen. Even with import and value-added taxes included, the U.S. new corn price is about 14 percent lower. New Hope Group, China’s largest producer of animal feed, urged Beijing to issue more corn import quotas to benefit pig breeders and meet rising demand for animal protein as more people move to urban centres. “For feedgrains of soy and corn, control over imports should be relaxed, or if necessary, more import quotas should be issued or even the quota restriction scrapped,” said Liu Yonghao, chair and founder of the group. China, the world’s largest soy importer, buys 60 percent of globally traded soybeans. Traders do not expect Beijing to lift corn quota curbs soon, but the government may be willing to issue more quotas to state-owned firms under its World Trade Organization obligations. China sets its annual corn import quota at 7.2 million tonnes, 60 percent of which is allocated to state firms. China imported 5.2 million tonnes of corn in 2012, a record, but imports remain only a small part of the total, amounting to two weeks of domestic consumption.

LIVESTOCK | CALVING

Triplets surprise Alta. colony Strong start | Heifer and two bull calves each weighed 70 pounds BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Calving season is going well on the Shadow Ranch Hutterite Colony east of Carmangay, Alta. With 500 cows to calve out this spring, seven sets of twins and one set of triplets have made their appearance. It was the first set of triplets that cattle boss Carl Hofer has seen in his years at the colony. The MaineAnjou-Angus cross cow calved one day short of its due date March 13, providing a nice surprise for Hofer. “She put the first one out on her own and it was -10 C, so we brought her in the barn with the calf and we went home for supper. Two hours

later I came down and she had another one in the barn.” However, the cow was still straining so Hofer and his wife put it in the chute, where they discovered a third calf inside but backward. They straightened the calf ’s feet and pulled it out but had to clear mucus and work on the calf for about 10 minutes before it revived.

The heifer and two bull calves each weighed 70 pounds, which pleased Hofer. Triplets are usually smaller. “All three of them look like their mother,” he said. “She’s a nice old cow. I figure she’s 20 years old and she’s a very tame cow. You know, I wanted to cull that cow when we preg checked because she was limping. It’s a good thing you don’t go with your first instincts all the time.” The colony is now considerably ahead on its calving percentage and Hofer is hopeful for an excellent calving season if recent warm weather holds. “We’ve never had a start like this, in the last six or seven years that we’ve been calving out.”

EXPORTS | EUROPEAN UNION

Canadian officials hopeful about agricultural export deal with EU NEW YORK , N.Y. (Reuters) — Canada hopes to sign a longdelayed free trade deal with the European Union this year, says trade minister Ed Fast, although key disagreements remain that could further postpone it. Fast and his EU counterpart, Karel De Gucht, met last month to try ironing out differences over agricultural exports, intellectual property and public procurement that have kept officials from signing a deal. However, they failed to sign an agreement that Canada says would help diversify Canadian trade away from the United States and boost trade with Europe. “It is a very small handful of issues that are difficult,” Fast said. “We are trying to identify some creative ways in bridging the gaps between our positions.” He declined to say which issues were causing the delay. The United States takes 75 percent of all Canadian exports, and the EU slightly more than 10 percent. The government has said Canada-EU trade could increase by 20 percent under a free trade agreement. Trade talks started in 2009 and were initially expected to conclude by the end of 2011, a date that was pushed back to the end of 2012. Even now, Fast said he will not be pushed by arbitrary deadlines while disagreements remain.

“Understand that it is the quality of the agreement and not a particular calendar date,” Fast said. “It has to be in Canada’s long-term trade interests, otherwise we won’t sign a deal.” Canadian meat producers want an end to high EU import tariffs that they say have effectively shut Canada out of a European market that consumes eight million tonnes of beef products a year. The Europeans want Canada to extend patent protection for major pharmaceutical companies, accept more EU dairy products and open up internal procurement markets. The Canada Europe Roundtable for Business trade lobby urged negotiators last month to wrap up a deal soon, noting any agreement would have to be voted on by the European Parliament, which is due to hold elections in April 2014. The treaty would be handled by the next Parliament if legislators do not deal with it in time, meaning ratification could be delayed by 18 months, the group said. U.S. president Barack Obama recently announced that the U.S. and the EU could begin their own freetrade talks by June, adding to the pressure on Ottawa. The negotiations with Canada could become a lower priority at that point if they aren’t completed.

LIVESTOCK | PIGS IN CHINA

Outbreak likely behind dead pigs in Chinese river Virus detected in some animals | Chinese farmers often use questionable disposal methods because of lack of compensation SHANGAI/BEIJING, China (Reuters) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The rotting bodies of 6,000 pigs in a river that supplies tap water to Shanghai has drawn attention to an ugly truth â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pig farms are often riddled with disease and sick animals often end up in the food chain. Authorities have found traces of a common pig virus in some of the animals floating in the Huangpu River, and industry insiders say farmers likely dumped them, a common practice in an industry that has no system of compensation for losses from disease. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is no mechanism by which, whenever diseases are found among pigs, the government compensates pig breeders so as to control the spread of diseases or compensate pig breeders for losses,â&#x20AC;? said Feng Yonghui, general manager of the pig-industry research organization Soozhu.com. To make matters worse, Feng said insurance companies are unwilling to insure pig breeders because the risks are so high. Workers on barges and on the riverbank used pitchforks last week to drag bloated dead pigs out of the river. Pork is Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s staple meat, and the hog population is the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest at 475 million head at the end of last year. Margins on pork are thin, and the Huangpu River may have offered a tempting alternative for hog farmers unwilling to spend money to incinerate or bury dead animals. While there was no proof sick animals had been butchered and sold for meat in this case, media have reported several scandals of that happening in the past. Early this year, state media accused a supplier of chicken to KFC and McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s of selling the restaurants sick poultry. The supplier denied it. While authorities have not confirmed a disease or the death of unusually large numbers of pigs, talk of pigs dying would seem to suggest an outbreak of some sort. One Jiaxing farmer, 69-year-old Jiang Lie, said 30 percent of his pigs had died of disease since January. Reuters witnesses visited three reeking swine disposal pits in Jiaxing that appeared to have been just filled up and had signs saying they were at capacity. Dumping pigs into a river is not unheard of. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think it is an individual case. Many similar cases were just not reported,â&#x20AC;? said Wang Xiaoyeu, an analyst with Beijing Orient Agribusiness Consultant Co Ltd. Villager Yan Lanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;e said there are always pigs in the Huangpu, and aside from the number, the only difference this time is that authorities were clearing them out along with the trash. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Before, they just cleared out the garbage,â&#x20AC;? she said. Rather than blaming the farmers, Lin

Workers retrieve the carcasses of pigs from a branch of Huangpu River in Shanghai March 10. More than 2,200 pigs have been found dead in one of Shanghaiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main water sources, triggering a public outcry where concerns over food safety and environmental pollution run high. China has also hired crews to pick up dead pigs left along the sides of roads. | REUTERS/STRINGER PHOTO Rongquan, a veterinary health expert in Shanghai, pointed the finger at the local government, a major link in the chain of agencies overseeing farms. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely the problem of the local government, which should bear the main responsibility. They do not regulate the pig business well,â&#x20AC;? he said. T h e c e nt ra l g ov e r n m e nt ha s unveiled restructuring plans aimed at improving efficiency and cutting out graft. The changes came as parliament sat in Beijing for a session at which complaints of corruption and red tape were common. The restructuring included bundling the responsibilities of several agencies into a ministerial-level General Administration of Food and Drug in response to the scandals. Analyst Wang said that should help, but it would not change things overnight given the problems from feed additives, the use of antibiotics and pollution. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tough job to improve things,â&#x20AC;? he said. Many people took to the internet to complain. Others sought solace in grim humour. In one joke posted online, a Beijing resident boasted about the air pollution in the capital, saying if he wanted a smoke, he just had to open the window. A Shanghai resident retorted: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing, when we turn on the tap, we get free rib soup.â&#x20AC;?

U.S. | AGRICULTURE BUDGET

Cattle report among U.S. documents axed by cuts Mid-year statistics | Ten American reports suspended after $1.9 billion trimmed from U.S. agriculture budget WASHINGTON, D.C. (Reuters) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Budget cuts have forced the U.S. Department of Agriculture to suspend the publication of 10 statistical reports or series for the rest of the fiscal year. The mid-year cattle report was arguably the most prominent report to get the axe, and reaction from livestock traders and groups ranged from concern to indifference. Others, from milk producers to craft beer brewers, expressed worry about losing key information that is often used to guide business decisions and help make a case for bank loans. Approximately $1.9 billion in USDA funding was eliminated by the automatic cuts, known as sequestration, which took effect March 1. The USDA has warned it may lay off meat inspectors for 11 or 12 days in the current fiscal year because of the cuts and that one-third of its 100,000 workers may be affected. However, this is the first time it has chronicled a specific impact on its production of data. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The decision to suspend these reports ... was necessary, given the funding situation,â&#x20AC;? the USDAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s National Agricultural Statistics Service said in a news release March 12. NASS said the reports were suspended through Sept. 30, the end of this fiscal year. Jim Robb, an economist at the Livestock Marketing Information Center, lamented the loss.

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to make any difference to fundamental traders, which I am one of. JOE OCRANT OAK INVESTMENT GROUP

Last Julyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s herd count by the USDA showed ranchers had abruptly reversed plans to produce more beef, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have that timely mid-year look, you really have a hard time looking at the industry in very much detail.â&#x20AC;? However, Rich Nelson, chief strategist with Allendale Inc., said the industry would be able to cope. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Few in the industry, besides longterm numbers crunchers, pay attention to the report,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Also, the July report is not really the one that shows the full range of information that we look at. In general, we can kind of deduce these numbers without the July survey.â&#x20AC;? Joe Ocrant, president of Oak Investment Group in Chicago, agreed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In 43 years of trading, I have never known the semi-annual cattle report to be a market mover and rarely is the data a shocker,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to make any difference to fundamental traders, which I am one of.â&#x20AC;? The USDA said it aimed to provide â&#x20AC;&#x153;the strongest data in service to agricultureâ&#x20AC;? while complying with budget cuts. The National Milk Producers Federation bemoaned losing a monthly production report, which it said would â&#x20AC;&#x153;detrimentally affect how decisions are made about the marketing of milk, starting at, but not

ending with, the farm level.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will need to have further discussions with USDA about why a major informational tool involving a major commodity is being affected this way,â&#x20AC;? said Christopher Galen, the federationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senior vice-president of communications. Also upset was a group representing more than 2,000 craft beer brewers, which will lose all hops estimates for the rest of the fiscal year and is bracing for more volatile prices for the critical brewing ingredient. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Without the public reporting, the

growers are operating in the dark, and that has the potential to disrupt supplies,â&#x20AC;? said Chris Swersey, technical brewing projects co-ordinator for the Brewers Association. During past budget crunches, NASS has said its most important data included its monthly crop report and agricultural prices report, the quarterly grains stocks report, the annual prospective plantings report issued in late March and the planted acreage report issued at the end of June. Production of those reports will continue.

Weather forecast shines favourably on U.S. crops

Dry conditions force drought declaration in New Zealand

Spring outlook | Weather patterns indicate a repeat of last year’s widespread drought is unlikely WASHINGTON, D.C. (Reuters) — The spring weather pattern for the United States looks greatly improved from a year ago, when drought was both widespread and severe, says a private weather forecaster. A series of winter storms, which have continued into March, add up to a more positive outlook for crops that will be planted from the Plains to the East Coast, AccuWeather said in its 2013 U.S. spring weather outlook. “A bumper crop of corn alone later this summer could eventually reduce the pressure on grain, livestock feed and other consumer prices,” said the firm.

“Compared to last year, for the season as a whole, more moisture will be available for agriculture due to lower temperatures and lower evaporation rates from the Mississippi Valley to much of the Atlantic coastal plain.” The U.S. Department of Agriculture has projected record large U.S. corn and soybean crops this year, assuming normal growing conditions. New-crop futures at the CBOT are trading well below old-crop in anticipation of bumper harvests. “We expect ample moisture during most of the growing season, with few exceptions into this summer from

the Mississippi Valley to the East Coast,” said Paul Pastelok, head of AccuWeather’s long-range forecasting department. Echoing a recent U.S. government forecast, AccuWeather said parts of California and the Florida peninsula could experience drought or at least drier-than-normal conditions into the first part of the summer. “A lack of big snowstorms over the Sierra Nevada and other ranges in the West could mean water resource limitations in California,” it said. But overall, the severe drought that extended over much of the U.S. in

2012 and hammered U.S. corn, soybean and wheat growers is not expected to be repeated. Winter storms have added up to near-normal snowfall for major cropping areas of the lower Plains, Midwest and parts of the U.S. Northwest, AccuWeather said. Average temperatures are also significantly lower this March from a year ago, which will result in lower evaporation rates for a time. “Overall, less long-lasting, extreme heat is forecast from the Mississippi Valley to the East during most of the spring and summer,” the group said.

Producers can now access financial assistance WELLINGTON, N.Z. (Reuters) — The New Zealand government has declared a drought in key farming areas on the North Island. The area has received no significant rainfall in more than three months, threatening to cost the economy $850 million. The affected areas include the major dairy producing Waikato, south of the country’s biggest city, Auckland, and horticultural regions Bay of Plenty and Hawkes Bay. “This extended period of hot and dry weather over the last couple of months has left dairy and sheep and beef farmers alike with parched paddocks and burnt and stunted feed crops,” said James Houghton, president of Federated Farmers Waikato. The official drought declaration gives farmers access to financial and social support. Some of the affected regions have had one-third of their average rainfall this year, and only light rain is expected for the rest of the month. Agriculture accounts for half of the country’s $39 billion annual export earnings, with dairy produce the single biggest commodity. The drought would likely weigh significantly on production and incomes this year and next. “The reduction in agricultural and primary production is likely to shave 0.5 percent off gross domestic product by the end of the year,” ANZ Bank rural economist Con Wilson said in a research note. The dry conditions are forcing farmers to cut short milk production, cull animals and buy expensive supplement feeds. Fonterra, a New Zealand dairy cooperative and the world’s biggest dairy exporter, warned that dry weather was cutting into production, which had risen five percent in the first half of the dairy season. “The impacts of (a) prolonged period of dry weather are likely to be long-lasting, with agricultural and primary manufacturing production unlikely to recover to pre-drought peaks for at least 24 months,” Wilson said. The last significant drought in New Zealand occurred in 2007-08, wiping an estimated $2.4 billion off GDP and helping tip the economy into a yearlong recession. The South Island, which has significant dairy and meat raising regions as well as much of the country’s hydro-electricity generation, is not affected by drought. However, the drought could help underpin prices for dairy products because of reduced supplies to meet demand. Fonterra’s latest online auction of products saw a 10.4 percent rise in average prices on reduced volumes. It was the biggest single auction rise in nearly two years and took the market to within nine percent of its peak in May 2011.

H Green - Modular homes are a great way to practice environmental respon-

sibility. Manufacturers order materials to exact fitting requirements, cutting waste. Since a home arrives on a site complete, construction time and activity are greatly reduced. Homes are outfitted with brand name, energy efficient appliances, high energy furnaces and low-E windows.

Why Build a Prairiebilt Modular Home?

H Savings - Modular homes are completely customizable and offer the quality, ﬂexibility and beauty of a traditional home at a fraction of the cost. Homes start at $74,900!

H Time - Modular homes can be constructed in 60-90 days. Because they are built indoors, there are no surprise delays or extra costs.

H Quality - Prairiebilt Homes are 100% Canadian manufactured. Modular homes are required to meet the same building codes as traditionally built homes, which means you can expect the same quality and durability. All Prairiebilt homes are covered by a ten year warranty.

H Flexibility - Modular homes are ﬂexible. Whether a temporary or permanent home is required, a modular home can match your needs. Prairiebilt offers complete setup, permanent foundation options and the best shipping rates in the province.

For all ﬂoor plans, models and décor check out our website!

H Customizable - Modular homes are customizable to suit your needs and

tastes. Prairiebilt offers over 170 ﬂoor plans featuring open concept modern designs, as well as over 100 interior and exterior ﬁnishes to choose from, modular homes are as customizable and aesthetically stunning as any traditionally built home.

Morris 61’ Contour C2 $CALL

THE C2 CONTOUR SHEDS TRASH LIKE NEVER BEFORE 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.

Agencies calling for improved drought policies FAO warns of repeated ‘catastrophes’

Italian village celebrates Pope Francis Ancestral home | New pope has ties to small village once home to vineyards B R I C C O M A R M O R I TO, It a l y (Reuters) — Jorge Mario Bergoglio has made history as the first pontiff from Latin America, but his distant cousins in a hilltop hamlet in northern Italy claim Argentina’s Pope Francis as one of their own. Bergoglio’s great-grandfather, also named Francesco or Francis, bought a farmhouse in 1864 in Bricco Marmorito, which sits in the shadow of the snow-capped Alps in a wineproducing region in northwest Italy. Relatives living in the quiet hamlet were as excited as anyone when Bergoglio’s name was announced as the new pope from the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica 700 kilometres south in Rome on March 13.

“When we heard the news we were really surprised because we never thought he could become pope,” Anna Bergoglio, a distant cousin of Pope Francis, said in the garden of her house in the province of Asti, best known for its sparkling wines. Her grown-up daughter, Roberta, was one of the few in the family, and beyond, who seemed to have an inkling that he might become leader of the world’s 1.2 billion Roman Catholics. “Last Friday we were looking at a photograph of him and my daughter said ‘Mum, do you think he could be Pope Bergoglio?’ And I said, ‘I hope so,’ ” Anna said. Francis and the cardinals who

elected him toasted his appointment with a glass of Asti spumante fizzy wine, a nod to his Italian roots and less expensive than champagne for a man who likes to eschew life’s luxuries. Bergoglio’s father emigrated from Italy in the 1920s, one of millions of Italians who moved to Argentina in search of a better life. The new pope speaks fluent Italian, albeit with a slight Spanish intonation, and his links to Italy are thought to have smoothed his election in the secret conclave. He is the third successive pope to come from outside Italy after centuries of Italian domination of the papacy.

His cousins said the pope’s father worked for the railway, while his grandfather had a food store in the nearby town of Asti. “He came from poverty, he’s a good man,” Anna Bergoglio said. The Bergoglios are now hoping for a family reunion. “The Vatican called me because they want to organize the chance for us relatives to go and visit him there,” said Delmo Bergoglio, a 75-year-old. Delmo Bergoglio said he is the last farmer left in a village where many of the vineyards producing brignolo and barolo wines have now been abandoned and earning a living is tough.

INSECTICIDES | NEONICOTINOIDS

European Union says no to ban on seed treatments linked to bee deaths BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

The European Commission’s decision to not ban a class of insecticides because of their potential threat to bees is prudent, says a University of Guelph entomologist. Representatives of European Union member states voted March 15 on a proposal to ban three neonicotinoids for two years in all 27 countries. The three neonicotinoids — thiamethoxam, clothianidin and imidacloprid — are applied primarily as a seed treatment to millions of acres of corn, soybeans, canola and sunflowers around the world.

Opinion polls indicated robust public support for the ban, but British and German politicians voted against it and defeated the proposal, the Guardian newspaper reported. “Britain and Germany have caved in to the industry lobby and refused to ban bee-killing pesticides,” said Iain Keith of Avaaz, a campaign organization. “Today’s vote flies in the face of science and public opinion and maintains the disastrous chemical armageddon on bees, which are critical for the future of our food.” Peter Kevan, a professor of environmental biology at the U of G, rejected the anti-neonicotinoid rhetoric. “At this stage it would be premature

to ban them….There (isn’t) sufficient data to say they (neonicotinoids) are as dangerous as has been made out,” said Kevan, who heads Canpolin, a network of scientists studying the decline of bees in agricultural and natural ecosystems in Canada. “There’s very little evidence to say that neonicotinoids, in a very general sense, in a broad scale sense, have been a major component in the demise of honeybees or any other pollinators, anywhere in the world.” Kevan said neonicotinoid seed treatments have damaged bee colonies in specific cases around the globe. For example, last spring thousands of bees died in southern

Ontario when dust from corn planters containing neonic treated seed blew onto plants and flowers near honeybee hives. However, he said those cases are incidents rather than a systemic agricultural risk to bees, which has “been purported by some people.” Kevan agreed the issue has become highly political in Europe as the furor of environmental groups and the media have pushed bees and neonics into the spotlight. “The rhetoric has gotten ahead of the science.” Nonetheless, he said certain studies have raised red flags regarding neonicotinoids.

GENEVA, Switzerland (Reuters) — United Nations agencies want to strengthen national drought policies after warnings that climate change would increase their frequency and severity. Droughts cause more deaths and displacement than floods or earthquakes, making them the world’s most destructive natural hazard, says the Food and Agriculture Organization, one of the groups taking part. “We must boost national capacity to cope before droughts occur,” FAO deputy director-general Ann Tutwiler told five days of talks on drought in Geneva attended by scientists, politicians and development agencies. “Unless we shift towards such policies, we face the prospect of repeated humanitarian catastrophes and the repeated threat of drought to global food security.” In 2012, the United States experienced the worst drought since the 1930s dustbowl, pushing grain prices to record highs. Droughts have also affected the Horn of Africa and the Sahel region in the past few years, as well as China, Russia and southeastern Europe. UN secretary-general Ban Kidmoon said in December that extreme weather was the “new normal,” adding that drought had decimated essential crops from the United States to India and Ukraine to Brazil. “No one is immune to climate change: rich or poor. It is an existential challenge for the whole human race: our way of life, our plans for the future,” he said at the time. However, governments have often been slow to act on drought because, unlike other natural disasters, they tend to develop more gradually and often do not generate an instant media buzz. “As opposed to other natural disasters, it’s a slow creeping phenomenon,” said Mannava Sivakumar, a director for the World Meteorological Organization’s climate prediction and adaptation division who assisted with the talks. “If people say, ‘let’s wait and see what happens,’ before you realize it, you see crops dying, orchards dying and millions of dollars in damage,” he said. The four UN bodies that launched the National Drought Management Policies Initiative were the FAO, the WMO, the UN Convention to Combat Desertification and the UN Water Decade Programme on Capacity Development. The project aims to develop early warning systems, following the example of the U.S. National Integrated Drought Information System, and mitigation measures that might include helping farmers change their planting schedule to adapt to water shortages. They said they would proceed through four regional workshops in Eastern Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America and the Caribbean throughout 2013. The conference also urged governments to develop stronger regional and global co-operation to improve observation systems and put in place national emergency relief measures.

NEWS BRIEFS DAIRY

Saputo closes plant Reuters — Saputo Inc., Canada’s largest dairy processor, said March 14 that it would close its cheesemaking plant in Warwick, Que., in its latest cost-cutting move. Saputo’s shares dropped to their lowest level in more than two weeks in Toronto early in the day before paring losses to around $49.75, off 0.8 percent. The cheese plant is expected to close in June 2014, and Saputo will integrate its production into other Quebec facilities. The closure affects 100 workers, some of whom will be offered transfers to another plant. Montreal-based Saputo, which says it is among the top three cheese producers in the United States, said in February it would close a cheese plant in Heiden, Germany, and would close another facility in Wales, subject to a legislated consultation period. It said its European business was not profitable. In November, Saputo said it would close a small plant in Winkler, Man., in January 2014. MALT

LONDON, U.K. (Reuters) — Glencore is considering the sale of Australia’s largest malt producer, says a source familiar with the matter. Glencore acquired Adelaide-based Joe White Maltings, set up during the 1850s gold rush, through its acquisition of Viterra last year. The company has hired Bank of America Merrill Lynch to advise on the sale, the source said.

through much of central Saskatchewan and central Manitoba. The cooler conditions will occur mostly during the day. The nights might be a little warmer than usual because of an insulating blanket of cloud cover. Overall conditions may be one to two degrees below normal in April and near normal in May. “It’s nothing major,” said Anderson. The temperature forecast is the opposite in Alberta, where daytime temperatures could be above normal while nights will likely be cooler because of the lack of cloud cover. Anderson said he has a high level of confidence in the seasonal temperature forecast. The precipitation forecast is trickier because most of the moisture comes from storms, which can be random. The AccuWeather forecast calls for the dominant U.S. storm track system to quiet down in late May, when conditions in the eastern Prairies could suddenly become warmer and drier. In the meantime, people who thought they could put their snow shovels away until winter might want to keep them handy. “The snow season may actually last a little bit longer than it usually does,” said Anderson.

NORMA

This spring could be a repeat of last spring in terms of excess precipitation, but don’t expect the same warm weather, says a forecaster. The dominant storm track for the spring will extend from the northern U.S. Rockies into Ontario, which will bring cooler and wetter conditions for the eastern portion of the Prairies. Farmers in eastern Saskatchewan and most of Manitoba should brace for yet another year of soggy fields. “With this forecast of continued wetness, I’m sure farmers will not be very happy about that,” said AccuWeather senior meteorologist Brett Anderson. Saskatoon normally receives 24 millimetres of precipitation in April and 50 mm in May for a total of 74 mm. Anderson expects to see at least 90 to 100 mm of moisture from rain and melted snowfall during those two months this year. The situation will be similar for many areas across the eastern Prairies. “It does look like the area is going to be certainly wetter than normal, similar to what we saw last spring,” said Anderson. He isn’t too concerned about spring

flooding in Manitoba because soil moisture levels are normal across the province heading into spring and snowfall has been below normal in the higher elevations south of the border in the United States. “As you get into Saskatchewan, you may see a higher risk of some flooding since the ground is a little bit more saturated. But it doesn’t look like anything out of the ordinary at this point.” Areas around Moose Jaw and Regina have received more than 200 percent of their normal precipitation since Nov. 1. The spring moisture outlook is the opposite in Alberta. Most of the province can expect the drier-than-normal trend that has been around since late last year to continue. Winds will be out of the west, bringing dry air from the Rocky Mountains. Calgary usually receives 24 mm of moisture in April and another 60 mm in May for a total of 84 mm. Anderson said the two-month total should be more like 50 to 65 mm this spring. “In general, I do see a continuation of dry conditions throughout much of Alberta, which is not what they want.” The temperature forecast calls for cooler than normal conditions

HISTORY | ELEVATORS

Group hopes to save elevator Ogilvie No. 156 | Initiative launched to move and restore elevator BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Wooden grain elevators, once the primary landmarks across much of the Prairies, are gradually disappearing. Two southern Alberta men want to keep one of them from falling to the wrecking ball. Jason Sailer and Cody Kapcsos have formed the Southern Alberta Grain Elevator Society (SAGE) and want to move the Ogilvie No. 156 elevator to the Galt Historic Railway Park near Stirling, Alta. It now sits on the Canadian Pacific Railway line at Wrentham, Alta., 29 kilometres away. At the railway park, it would sit near the Coutts Sweetgrass Train Station, restored to its early condition and made available for viewing and tours. “We’re just trying to save a little bit of history,” Sailer said March 17, noting the risks of losing older buildings

and architecture. “When the time comes, nobody stands up. We thought maybe we should try saving this before it gets to that last minute stage.” Sailer and Kapcsos estimate the project will cost $250,000, including the move of the elevator and its auxiliary buildings plus renovation and restoration. The elevator, which was built in 1925, is in working condition and provides 32,000 bushels of grain storage for Harold Kuehn, the current owner. However, Sailer and Kapcsos said Kuehn plans to retire from farming and will donate the elevator to the railway park if fundraising efforts are successful. “At one time there were nearly 1,555 elevators in Alberta alone,” said Kapcsos. “Now we’re down to about 120 and that number is dwindling drastically year by year. By saving one, we’ll at least have a bit of our

agricultural heritage saved.” Ogilvie No. 156 was built by Ogilvie Flour Mills Co., which operated it until 1960, when it was sold to Alberta Wheat Pool. AWP ran it until 1968, when it was sold to Wesley Kuehn of Skiff, Alta. His son now owns it. Sailer said Alberta Culture has identified several unique features of the elevator, including a historically intact office, one of only two boxed walkways left on Alberta elevators and a fully operating rope drive system. Sailer and Kapcsos plan to build a spur line to the elevator once it is at its new site to allow for future displays of railroad equipment. The elevator will require a new concrete foundation and a new roof and siding. Sailer said SAGE memberships will help the cause, but the group will also be looking for corporate donations and grant opportunities.

FUNDING | FORMULA

Saskatchewan hammers out revenue sharing concept BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

The Saskatchewan government has decided how municipalities will share extra provincial revenue this year after the associations representing them couldn’t agree. There is $264.4 million in the revenue sharing pool for 2013-14, up $27 million from last year. Municipalities receive the money equal to one percent of provincial sales tax. Government relations minister Jim Reiter said March 18 the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association and Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities nearly reached consensus on allocation. They agreed that the current formula, which recognizes provincial interests in municipal services such as transportation and policing, should still apply to the existing pool

of money but differed on how to allocate the extra $27 million. Reiter said the government decided to take $2 million off the top for northern Saskatchewan and split the difference on the remainder. “Half of it will be allocated on a per capita basis to recognize SUMA’s position that our growing communities’ population causes pressures for municipalities, and the other half (will be allocated) on the current formula which recognizes that there’s some provincial interests in certain municipal services and also the fact that many of our key industries — potash, oil, gas, agriculture — are located in rural Saskatchewan,” he said. SARM had advocated the new money be allocated on the existing formula. “He split the difference and we’ll live with that,” said SARM president David Marit.

This year urban municipalities will get $170 million, rural municipalities $74.7 million and northern municipalities $19.7 million. Those amounts are up $18.1 million, $5.9 million and $3.1 million, respectively. Within each funding pool, allocations will remain the same until 2017-18: cities will receive 47.945 percent, RMs will get 28.254 percent, towns and villages 16.345 percent and northern municipalities 7.456 percent. Marit said he is concerned that the percentage to RMs for the next five years is actually dropping slightly from 29 percent. Reiter said he hoped both organizations would consider that they at least got half of what they wanted. There are no restrictions placed on municipalities when it comes to spending the money.

MARKETPLACE | TRENDS

A growing customer base means organics still matter ORGANIC MATTERS

BRENDA FRICK

he Western Producer has been publishing my monthly column for 10 years now, so it is a good time to reflect. Organics has come a long way since then, perhaps the furthest in public perception. Celebrity endorsements have encouraged consumers to take a look and they have seen the benefits in reducing their exposure to pesticides and genetically modified organisms by eating organic food. The Canada Organic Trade Association (COTA) estimates that the organic consumer market in Canada grew 160 percent from 2006 to 2010. Canada is the fifth largest organic market in the world. Much of the Canadian organic market is filled by imports, which represents a tremendous opportunity for Canadian growers. Of course, it’s the global market that concerns producers most on the Prairies. Canadian organic products sell primarily into the U.S. and European markets, which are valued at $59 billion per year. Canadian organic exports are valued at $400 million per year. Market volatility for organic exports has been a mixed blessing. Organic prices have spiked high at times, and producers with the right organic crops have done well. However, those times have been followed by crashes, with buyers turning from prairie organic products to crops such as flax from China or the ambiguous “natural” products. These highs and lows are expected in small markets. They add risk, but savvy producers can do well. CONTINUED ON PAGE 109

Delta Track coming soon Versatile’s newest addition | High horsepower, four-tracked tractor to be released this fall PRODUCTION MATTERS

ersatile has a new tracked tractor, the Delta Track. The company, which hasn’t yet officially announced the high-horsepower, four-tracked

tractor, released it from field testing at recent private event in Palm Springs, California, for its dealers. The new DT450, DT500 and DT550 articulated tractors feature Camoplast tracks, a new tractor chassis and the shared, heavily sloped, hood of the latest Versatile power units that dealers saw. Officially, the company says the new machines will be released to the industry later this year. The new tractors share a common Cummins QSX 15 litre engine, the same one found in the HHT435 to 575 h.p. wheeled tractors. Getting power to the drives is the

job of a Cat TA22 power shift transmission. It too is common, although optional, on the big, articulated Versatile four-wheel drives and has 16 forward and four reverse gearings. The Camoplast tracks will be available in 30 and 36 inch widths and turned by a nearly 38 inch drive wheel. The double-axis, oscillation, bogie suspension allows the machine’s bogies to rotate fore and aft and from side to side. This ensures the track remains flat and allows the drives and machine some wiggle room for chassis roll and a reduction in jarring motions to the rest of the

machine. It is set offset, out of the direct line of the drive axle, to reduce vibration to the chassis. Large, twin 14 inch polyurethane mid-rollers control track flex. The tractors will travel at up to 28 m.p.h. in road gear. They will have limited availability from dealers this summer, with full product release in the fall, according to dealers who attended the pre-launch event.

WINNIPEG BUREAU

PORTAGE LA PRAIRIE, Man. — White has never traditionally been a big corn planter name on the Prairies, but that will change when its 90-foot 36-row planters start to appear. C o r n a n d s oy b e a n f i e l d s a re expanding, and canola growers are experimenting with planters. However, a corn planter can be a complex and frustrating piece of machinery, especially when farmers are planting expensive seed, said White’s Steven Epler. “One of the main reasons White is expanding to the Prairies is that we have the simplest planter on the market,” Epler told the recent Corn Planter Clinic in Portage la Prairie. “For one thing, it’s a positive air system. We use pressurized air to push the seed on the disc. Not a lot of pressure. Just 0.07 (pounds per sq. inch). I believe Great Plains and Case are the only other planters using air pressure. Nearly everyone else uses a

Vacuum is more sensitive and has a lot of seals and things that require maintenance.” Epler said many first-time corn growers are looking for a planter that will get them started in corn production with the least amount of mechanical and electronic hassle, and that’s what White has to offer them. “You won’t waste a whole lot of time tuning and maintaining these plant-

ers,” he said. “Plus, there’s a full three year guarantee on the metering system. Agco takes care of all the maintenance and repairs to the metering system for that period.” The singulation metering disc is a simple design. Tickle brushes knock off the seconds as they come around, and brushes hold the seed in place to give it a gravity drop into the seed tube. He said the tickle brushes are among the only wear parts on the

machine, except for the eventual replacement of bearings. The machine has a minimum of moving parts, he added. Epler isn’t apologizing for the machine’s old school nature. “ Yes, it is old technology. We haven’t changed a whole lot on these planters for a long time,” he said. “But that’s what some farmers really want. We still sell a lot of these planters in the corn belt, despite the idea that they’re old technology.”

He said growers in the corn belt view White planters as reliable rather than dinosaurs. “They’re simple. There’s less to go wrong and easier to fix when they do break. In fact, we have a new series coming out in 2014 that’s even simpler than this one.” The new machines will be rolled out April 10 in Davenport, Iowa.

CORN | SEED PLACEMENT

Proper seed placement will maximize yield, grain quality BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Farmers tend to pay more attention to combine setup than seeder setup, says corn planter specialist Bill Lehmkuhl. However, considering the importance of a uniform plant stand to corn yields, they should spend more time ensuring the corn planter is level, the down force is effective and the speed is optimal for seed placement. A loss of 1,000 ears of corn in one acre translates into a yield loss of five to seven bushels per acre, said Lehmkuhl. At a conservative $6.50 per bu.,

such losses quickly add up. Lehmkuhl spoke in Lethbridge March 14 at the third of three corn planter clinics organized by DuPont Pioneer. The consultant with Ohio-based Precision Agri Services shared planter tips with 120 farmers, most of whom grow corn for silage rather than grain. Several models of planters were available for growers to view and for Lehmkuhl to use in illustrating his points on proper setup. A universal truth across all models is to level the planter in the field rather than in the shop or yard. As

well, leveling should be done when the planter is in motion, which means assistance will be required. Lehmkuhl said all corn planters now on the market are designed for tilled systems, so farmers in minimum and zero till conditions common to the Prairies will have to take that into account. Adrian Moens, a southern Alberta DuPont Pioneer seed representative, agreed with Lehmkuhl’s assessment of more farmer time spent on combines than seeders. “They figure if they can put it in the ground, it’s going to grow,” he said. “There’s a reason why we’re plant-

ing with a corn planter and not with an air seeder nowadays. The singulation of the seed is very critical.” Moen said many southern Alberta farmers don’t own corn planters, but it will pay off to hire custom seeders who have specialized equipment. “That will easily make up the extra yield and quality as well on your silage,” Moens said. Air seeders can be used if corn silage is the goal, but even in those cases a corn planter is the better option, he said. Air seeders can plant the desired 34,000 seeds per acre, but stand is often uneven, which reduces the number of ears harvested and

creates uneven maturity. In his area, which stretches from Coaldale to Pincher Creek and southward, Moens said 95 percent of those who grow corn are using it for silage. “You want to maximize your grain content for your silage,” he said. “There’s two reasons why you’re growing corn silage versus barley. One of them is yield per acre, but also your starch per acre. And starch is only going to come from grain content.” That means management to maximize ears and kernels per ear is important for feed quality.

CORN | PRODUCTION

Growers need to know their corn: agronomist Projecting yields | Current varieties can produce 300 to 350 bushels per acre with good weather and management BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

There’s a simple calculation for figuring out grain corn yield. Multiply the number of ears by the number of rows on the cob by the number of kernels in each row, and divide by 90,000. That’s the yield, said DuPont Pioneer senior agronomist Sandy Endicott. The secret to getting high yields is for farmers to know their corn as well as they know their kids. Endicott spoke to about 120 farmers in Lethbridge March 14, the last of three corn planter clinics that DuPont Pioneer has sponsored in Western Canada in recent weeks. Most growers in southern Alberta grow corn for silage, but the grain yield is a major factor in starch content and feed value, Pioneer seed representative Adrian Moens said after the clinic.

As well, interest in grain corn production is rising as growers look for higher profits and a ready market in the local feedlot industry. Endicott said the number of harvestable ears and the number of kernels on each ear will determine about 85 percent of potential yield. The rest is determined by the weight of the kernels. Hybrid selection, seed treatments, seed placement, seeding rate and planter maintenance are the key factors in starting a corn crop with top production potential. Endicott said U.S. farmers have been able to improve yield by 1.8 bushels per acre per year, on average, over the last decade because of irrigation expansion and fertility management. “Every corn hybrid out there that we sell, that our competition sells, has the ability to produce 300 to 350 bushels to the acre.

there. It’s been proven.” However, climate and management determine whether those yields can be achieved and farmers control the latter. Endicott quoted studies from Ohio State University that showed a nine percent reduction in corn yields in zero tillage when soil had been compacted. A 15 percent yield reduction was seen on conventionally tilled fields with the same level of compaction. “This is a silent yield robber, in my mind,” she said. Root development is crucial to plant development, stability and production, she added. “What you see above ground, leaf tissue as far as height and width, you should see that much below the soil in roots.” Seeding rates have been steadily increasing in the United States, said Endicott. The average is 31,000 seeds per acre, but that figure rises in the northern states, where rates are 32,000 to 36,000. She recommended a narrower row spacing in northerly climates. “We see on average a two percent improvement in yield with 20 inch rows over 30 inch rows across the entire U.S.,” she said. “So if you’re thinking about buying a planter and have a choice between a 30 inch and a 20 inch planter, buy the 20 inch planter. I think it’s going to pay for itself very easily.” Planting depth should be at least 1.5 inches so the plants can establish stable roots that will support growth to maturity. Uniform seed spacing is also critical. “We want every one of those plants going down that row to look exactly alike. If they come up within 24 hours of each other, no big deal. But if they come up more than 48 hours of difference from one another, those late ones are not going to contribute to yield like you’d like them to.” Endicott is also a proponent of using hybrid B.t. varieties to protect against European corn borer, which is slowly making its way north and has been found in southern Alberta fields. Management practices should be aimed at reducing stress at the four

SEEDING | CORN

Prairie corn crop looks prosperous Grain crop | DuPont official says corn acres are poised for western expansion BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

PORTAGE LA PRAIRIE, Man. — Prairie farmers now grow grain corn where their parents could grow only silage corn. They grow silage corn where their parents could grow only alfalfa. Might the next generation of prairie farmers grow grain corn as a normal part of their rotations, regardless of locations? Can the new generation corn belt continue pushing northwest toward the tree line and up into the Peace River? The answer to both questions

would be a resounding yes, according to Blaine Calkins of DuPont Pioneer. In an interview at the Pioneer Corn Planter Clinic in Portage la Prairie, Calkins said corn will no longer be limited to traditional areas. “Pioneer will have corn right up to the northern Peace Country, High Level and Fort Vermillion. Virtually any and all agricultural areas right across western Canada,” Calkins said. “We’ve worked out that there are opportunities for corn on probably 10 million acres across Western Canada, and we have the possibility of grain corn in most of those areas,

depending on local pockets, the land and the heat units in each pocket.” Calkins said prairie farmers now plant 700,000 corn acres, and the million acre mark is just around the corner. The company is breeding for both the grain and silage markets. “Once we get out to a three or five year time frame, we’ll start to see millions of corn acres across Western Canada,” he said. “We’re not only working on lower heat units and shorter seasons. We’re also working on frost tolerance on the front end in the spring and frost tolerance at the back end in the fall.”

PRODUCTION ORGANIC MATTERS

» CONTINUED FROM PAGE 106 Few organic commodity producers did well recently, when markets nearly shut down from 2008 to 2010. However, markets are picking up again. COTA has analyzed national Census of Agriculture data that show organic farmers earn more than non-organic farmers. The organic farming population is growing, while the non-organic farming population is in decline. Organic operations on the Prairies have declined in recent years because of the recession, flooding, high land prices, an aging population and competing but unregulated claims such as “natural.” Perhaps this will leave more opportunity for those who stay in. Buyers are back in the marketplace, and commodity prices in general are higher. The organic marketplace has become more regulated in Canada and in our trading partner nations. The federal government regulated the word “organic” in 2009 for all organic products crossing provincial or national borders. The organic designation means that the product meets the standards and regulations, including all food safety requirements. Farms and processing facilities undergo annual third party inspections and audits. Markets and the bottom line are vital to the sustainability of organic farms. Research is beginning to show that organic farms are also leaders in environmental sustainability. Canadian researcher Derek Lynch has reviewed data and found that organic systems are consistently more energy efficient, whether it is per unit of land or per unit of production. Greenhouse gas emissions were lower for organic systems. Organic systems tend to increase soil carbon because of green manures and forages and despite tillage use. Organic farms also tend to have greater biodiversity, including plants, birds, pollinators and other insects. Organic techniques offer leadership in the field of sustainability, but can they feed the world? It is true that there usually is a yield hit as producers transition to organics, but the yield differential between organic and nonorganic is negligible on a global scale. Also, extracting nitrogen from fossil fuel, as done in non-organic agriculture, is not a sustainable long-term solution to soil fertility. As well, international organizations such as the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization recognize organic production as having the greatest potential to increase yields in developing countries. And to put this in proper context, hunger is a result of poverty. It is not primarily a production issue; it is primarily a social issue.

pesticide and GMO consumption. Ten years ago, I felt the biggest risk to organics was GMOs. The Saskatchewan Organic Directorate’s Organic Agriculture Protection Fund was battling the GMO giants on behalf of organic producers to prevent introduction of genetically modified wheat and for compensation for damages caused by GM canola. Today GMOs are still a major concern, with GMO alfalfa poised to inflict new damages. What has changed, I think, is that consumers are asking for GM labelling. As well studies, such as the contentious one from Seralini et al, 2012, in Food and Chemical Toxicology, which suggested significant toxicity of Roundup Ready corn when fed to rats in longterm trials, are gaining traction. So, have we come a long way? Organic food has become more mainstream, more regulated and

more accessible. Is that a good thing? Becoming mainstream is a mixed blessing and not entirely comfortable for some of us long-timers. However, it offers the opportunity of greater access to organic food and greater acceptance of organic techniques. Research has shown that organic methods have significant environmental benefits to offer. National data suggests that organic farming also has economic benefits. Have we come a long way on the Prairies? We’ve recently come through some hard times here, and the impact of that is still playing out. However, I do see optimism returning. After all, we’re used to cycles, and spring is just around the corner. Brenda Frick, Ph.D., P.Ag. is an extension agrologist and researcher in organic agriculture.

chases of 900,000 tonnes last year to meet the increasing demand. Ikuho Tomita said animal feed producers continue to take advantage of lower import costs of wheat compared with corn, traditionally the main ingredient to feed chickens, cattle and swine in Japan. Analysts said a reduction in corn purchases by Japan, the biggest customer of U.S. corn, could weigh on the Chicago corn market. It reached three-month highs earlier this month after the U.S. Department of Agriculture pegged corn end-ofseason stocks for the 2012-13 year at a 17-year low. “The ratio of wheat in animal feed has risen since 2011-12 and stays above four percent nowadays, and we’ve decided not to intervene in this trend,” Tomita said. Tokyo controls imports of wheat, the second most important grain after rice, to protect domestic farmers and insulate consumers from volatile markets. Japan’s wheat production satisfies only 10 percent of domestic demand. The ministry sets an annual purchase target for feed wheat and feed barley in March as a guideline for suppliers of the maximum amount it plans to buy in the following year, based on its hearings with domestic users.

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (Reuters) — Argentina should produce 51 to 52 million tonnes of soybeans in 2012-13 and 27 million tonnes of corn, agriculture minister Norberto Yauhar said, forecasting an output increase from the previous season. The South American country is the world’s third-biggest supplier of both soybeans and corn. Other crops, such as sunflowers, are also developing well this season, the minister said on the sidelines of a public event in Buenos Aires. “All included, we are sure to see an overall harvest of 103 to 104 million tonnes,” Yauhar said. Argentina produced 40.1 million tonnes of soy and 21 million tonnes of corn last season, when yields were reduced by drought. Argentina’s record high soy harvest was 52.7 tonnes in the 2009-10 crop year, and a record high 23.8 million tonnes of corn were produced in the 2010-11 season.

4-H | REGINA SPRING STEER AND HEIFER SHOW

Manitoba spring flooding risk rises

4-H coaches share grooming, showmanship tips

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

The snow pack in Manitoba and North Dakota won’t likely melt until mid-April, which increases the risk of a rapid thaw and spring flooding, says the U.S. National Weather Service. In an update posted March 15, NWS weather forecasters in Grand Forks, N.D., said temperatures significantly below normal will persist until the end of March. “At this time … a large scale snow melt and runoff conditions look to be delayed until the early or middle part of April,” the forecasters noted on the NWS website. “Such a delayed onset generally means an increased risk for a rapid thaw… and an increased risk for isolated heavy rain events to occur while snow melt flooding is underway.” A late winter blizzard dumped 15 to 25 centimetres of snow in southern Manitoba March 18, adding to an existing snow pack of 30 to 80 cm across the region. The persistent wintery weather represents a harsh contrast to last year, when snow on most Manitoba fields had melted by the third week of March. Despite the snow and cold, it’s too early to worry about spring planting, said Mike Wroblewski, a meteorology specialist with Manitoba Agriculture. “A thaw in mid-April is kind of a normal situation that we see in southern Manitoba,” he said, from his office in Carman. “It’s been a few years (since a normal spring), that’s all.” Last summer was particularly hot and dry in southeastern Manitoba. Dugouts dried up and ranchers had to feed cattle in July and August because pasture regrowth was poor. As a result, snow in March is actually beneficial, Wroblewski said. “Let’s put it into context. The southeast has been deprived of moisture for about two years,” he said. October boosted soil moisture in southern Manitoba, but additional infiltration is needed, he added. “Underneath that (top layer of soil) and down to four feet, it’s still dry as it was before,” he said. “The best case scenario, (farmers in) the Red River Valley and the southeast are laughing because they got a bit of a replenishment.” However, he said a couple of Alberta Clippers could hit Manitoba before the snow melt begins, which would amplify the flooding risk. In its initial flood forecast, released Feb. 27, the Manitoba government said there is a risk of minor to moderate spring flooding along the Red, Assiniboine, Souris and Pembina rivers. The province will update its forecast later this month.

Lauren Blair turned to a coach when she needed help with her animals at the recent Regina Spring Steer and Heifer Show. An educational program launched at the 30th annual show saw five coaches available in the barns to help 4-H members as they prepared for their show classes. Blair, 14, is a member of Valley View 4-H Club and has been showing cattle for five years. Her family raises cattle near McLean, Sask. “It was really neat to have some more professional help and get a second opinion,” she said.

LAUREN BLAIR VALLEY VIEW 4-H

“It was easier to listen to someone other than your parents.” Coach Krista Erixon of Clavet, Sask., agreed the young showmen were more apt to listen to the coaches, who were all younger fitters, judges and herdsmen. “I think it’s awesome,” she said of the program. “This is how kids learn. They’re watching you and then we’re

putting the clippers in their hands.” The coaches weren’t assigned to any particular participants but wore jackets identifying themselves and mingled among members so everyone had a chance to ask questions about grooming and showmanship. Blair said she appreciated how calm the coaches were and how they explained what to do. “They’re very thankful for the help they’ve gotten and when the kids aren’t as stressed, that makes the day easier,” Erixon added. She said she came up through 4-H, and it was nice to be able to give back in this way. Reed Andrew, who chairs the show committee, said the feedback from

the program was positive. “The kids liked the availability of the coaches and asking questions as they were (grooming),” he said. “The intent is the kids learn how to do the work. They learn how to take over.” About 120 4-H members attended the show with 160 cattle this year. Cody-Ray Lafrentz of Bienfait, Sask., showed the grand champion heifer, a Simmental, Wheatland Lady 2104Z. The reserve was a commercial heifer, NLC Clover, exhibited by Hadley Schmidt of Drake, Sask.

BISON | PRODUCTION OUTLOOK

Strong meat price leads to herd decline Few bison producers expanding | Some older producers feel it is the right time to get out of the business BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

PONOKA, Alta. — Ask Thomas Akerman how the bison industry is doing and he needs to change hats during the conversation. As marketing manager for Canadian Rangeland Bison, business is booming. Meat sales are strong with reliable markets in Canada, the U.S. and Europe. “With meat prices, we’re doing really well. People love it and the business is growing,” he said during the Wildrose Bison Show and Sale March 15. When he switches to his bison producer hat, the business is not quite as rosy. After toughing out BSE, drought and a herd of other problems, older bison producers are taking advantage of high meat prices and getting out of the business. “The breeding end seems to be hit and miss,” said Akerman of Green Horizon Farms near Lacombe, Alta. During the last Canadian census, there were about 200,000 bison in Canada. As in other agricultural industries, farmers are getting older and there are fewer of them. Some are leaving the industry and the ones staying in are expanding their operations. “We are noticing there is not a lot of new people, but established and bigger operations are seeing succession within the family,” said Akerman, chair of the Bison Producers of Alberta. Almost half of Canadian bison are raised in Alberta. With the two European Union approved slaughter plants located in the province, as well as the top three bison marketers, Akerman called Alberta the centre of the bison industry. “Alberta is bison country. This is their natural habitat. The big issue is down the road. Will there be enough supply,” he said. “They’re making money in the bison industry.” In the past six weeks, Ivan Smith of Big Bend Bison Ranches has bought five herds from retiring ranchers. Of the 700 cows, 250 were sent straight to slaughter, 150 were added to his herd and the rest were sold to other producers who wanted to build their herds. “They’re at least staying on the land,” said Smith, who has also seen a lot of older bison producers leaving the industry.

BELOW: The top selling bull, owned by Brian and Amanda Newton of Trochu, Alta., sold for $5,700. | MARY MACARTHUR PHOTOS Smith said many producers at the sale were reluctant to bid on animals to add to their herds out of fears that the strong prices may not last. The 50 breeding bulls, heifers and calves at the show and sale sold for $94,600. The top selling bull was $5,700 and the lowest price was $1,700. The top selling yearling heifer sold for $2,500 and the low for $1,100. The top selling bull calf sold for $5,200 and the low for $1,000. The top selling heifer calf sold for $2,700 and the low was $900. Smith also said that many producers were nervous that high bison meat prices may not last. Instead of investing in a few more animals, they would rather cash in on high meat prices now. “There is a lot of pasture out there sitting empty,” he said. As owner of Big Bend Market Fine Meats and Deli in Red Deer, Smith said he sees his customers’ growing interest and believes the demand for bison won’t decline soon.

The optimism is here. The signals are out there. We have a good product, good demand and good prices. THOMAS AKERMAN CANADIAN RANGELAND BISON MARKETING MANAGER

Like Akerman, Smith sees growth in the industry occurring through family succession. Children of producers are investing in the farm, or are taking over existing businesses from their parents. Through a grant from the Alberta Livestock and Meat Agency, the Bison Producers of Alberta is looking to encourage absentee ownership of bison as a way to expand. “The optimism is here. The signals are out there. We have a good product, good demand and good prices,” said Akerman.

RESEARCH | DISEASE

Persistence pays off: stubborn cattle virus focus of study Bovine viral disease | Persistently infected cattle can result in substantial feedlot costs. Vaccination programs must be tailored for each farm BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Frank van der Meer has never seen the micro-organism that causes bovine viral disease, but he knows the damage it can do to beef and dairy cattle. The virus responsible for a host of serious illnesses in cattle is a rapidly changing organism only visible under the most powerful electron microscopes. It can cause losses of $80 per head, which is a substantial hit when multiplied across a herd. One of van der Meer’s projects involves collecting old viruses from diagnostic clinics in Canada and comparing them at the University of Calgary’s virus database, which can take two years to analyze. “As long as we know where they come from and where they were isolated we can basically figure out how quickly that change actually happens,” said van der Me er, who researches infectious diseases at the university’s veterinary school. His work suggests that prolonged, unmanaged BVD infection gives rise to new dangerous viruses that may not respond as well to current vaccines. The virus can mutate rapidly from being a fatal pathogen to a fairly benign condition or vice versa. This is called drift. “I want to know how far we have drifted away from that original virus that is now in the vaccine,” he said. “You can expect every now and then this form of killer virus will pop up. The more virus you have around, the higher the probability that you will actually experience something like that.” The disease is spread by persistently infected animals. They may be only .4 percent of a herd, but their ability to do widespread damage is well documented.

Producers often eliminate poor doing animals from their herds without figuring out what was wrong with them. Twenty-five percent of all persistently infected animals die on a farm, but others can go to a feedlot. One animal is probably infected in a pen of 100 or 200 and spreads disease to the others, causing respiratory and gastrointestinal infections. “We know out of our data that most of the animals that get into a feedlot do not have a sufficient amount of immunity,” van der Meer said. “They might have been vaccinated at branding, but that doesn’t do a

whole lot.” A U.S. feedlot study showed that prolonged exposure to the disease from persistently infected cattle results in substantial costs of $41 to $93 per head. The 20,000-head study in Kansas found that some of the sickness depended on the virulence of the virus as well as the many stresses to which young feedlot calves are subjected. The study also found that a persistently infected animal is not necessarily a poor performer but sheds virus and infects others.

Vaccinations could curb some of the problems, but van der Meer said there are no statistics on how many farms vaccinate. He suspects producers do not vaccinate enough and may not provide boosters to build immunity. “It is not just putting a needle in an animal. It is about inducing immunity.” He said even pharmaceutical companies do not know for sure how much immunization occurs. They know how much they sell but do not know how often it was done or if it was administered properly. A vaccination program depends on

what a farm wants to achieve: does the producer sell calves and never see them again, or is he retaining ownership and wants to ensure they survive? Veterinarians need to tailor programs for each farm and help decide whether young stock and pregnant and replacement females are immunized. Bringing in new animals opens up the risk of disease. “We know, for example, in many cases people are expanding their herds or purchasing new animals without testing them, then you are taking a big risk,” he said. “The diseases are bought and paid for.”

SHEEP | PRODUCTION

Scrapie programs directed at trade Sheep markets | Monitoring costly and might not benefit Canadian producers, says official BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

It might be ancient, it might be endemic, it might be harmless, but eradicating scrapie is becoming a major issue for the Canadian sheep industry. The United States may be four years away from being able to claim victory in its fight against the prion disease, and that could create a two-tier situation in North America. “When that happens, they are going to become incredibly risk-averse and it’s going to get harder to trade with them,” said Canadian Sheep Producers Federation executive director Jennifer McTavish during the Manitoba Sheep Association annual meeting. Scrapie has been noted in sheep flocks around the world for centuries. It has not been connected to illness in human beings and has been considered just a part of sheep biology. However, the BSE outbreak and its triggering of a human form of the disease prompted many people to advocate attempting to rid the sheep population of scrapie so that there is no chance of it having similar effects as BSE. A number of countries are trying to eradicate scrapie, including the U.S. Success would give it both an edge over Canada with live sheep exporting and an excuse to block Canadian imports. Canada’s sheep industry has begun forming a plan to eradicate scrapie and has been surveying the rate of incidence of the disease in Canada. Neil Versavel, a director of the Canadian Sheep Breeders Association, recognized the pressure that

U.S. efforts will put on the Canadian industry, but wondered if it was worth the cost and effort to mimic it. “Basically, scrapie is a disease of trade,” said Versavel. “When you’re a country like ours that can only manage to supply 40 percent of its own domestic market, you’ve got to wonder why spend all the money.” Versavel said Canadian sheep producers are already trying to eliminate scrapie by culling animals that don’t appear to have scrapie-resistant genetics. However, internationally recognized scrapie-free status does not include genotyping, so if the Canadian industry wants to get international eradication recognition, it will have to follow a campaign similar to the one in the U.S. Versavel said one of the problems with trying to eradicate scrapie, which he believes is probably not possible anyway because it can arise spontaneously, is that it might all but eliminate some small breeds of sheep that are already sparse in Canada. McTavish said the U.S. has told the Canadian government that it will continue to trade sheep with Canada as long as Canada commits to eradicating scrapie. Versavel said there is much action on establishing a scrapie eradication program, so farmers who want to have input should do it now. They should also get ready for the eradication program to be implemented. “I imagine there will be a lot more testing and a lot more emphasis will be placed on record-keeping and that sort of thing.”

that would consistently fill college classes. “Being designated a trade is not going to work,” said Arbuckle. However, the industry hopes that describing it as an occupation might allow some support. Educational institutions such as the University of Manitoba are interested in helping train shearers, but the training requires funding, which the small sheep industry can’t provide. Solving the funding riddle and finding people who want to become sheep shearers are key focuses of the industry, Arbuckle said.

ers, that’s one of our goals.” Shearing sheep is important for farmers, even if virtually all sheep production in Canada is focused on producing lambs for meat. The wool provides an important secondary product that can help cover the cost of producing the lambs.

RED DEER — More than a third of Canada’s milk cows are culled every year because of health problems, bad feet or poor reproduction, says an Ontario dairy consultant. The top 10 reasons for culling in 2010-11 were poor reproduction, low milk production, mastitis, sickness, feet and leg disorders, udder breakdown, injury, old age, bad temperament or they were exported, Blair Murray said at the Western Dairy Seminar in Red Deer March 6. The CanWest Dairy Herd Improvement Corp. reports that nearly 40 percent of cows remain on the farm for at least three lactations and that the average milk cow is about four years old. However, many cows are gone after one and half lactations. He said cull cows are a good price, and mature females may go sooner than they need to if a farm has promising replacement heifers coming up. “Markets forces have a lot to do with

how long our cows last in dairy herds,” he said. However, the average replacement cow costs $2,500, and two lactations are required before a profit is made. Murray said genomics can locate longevity in an animal’s DNA, but animal husbandry can go a long way to improving a cow’s durability. “Dairy genetics will not solve all the problems,” he said. Factors that affect longevity include stocking density, stall design, feed intake, time spent in calving pens and how well transition cows are cared for after calving. A successful transition period starts from the time the cow delivers a healthy calf to when it returns to the milking string. A poorly managed transition could result in a sickly calf and a cow susceptible to retained placenta, metritis, acidosis and delayed conception. Stillbirths are a problem with modern cows: as many as 10 percent lose their calves but the goal should be five percent for heifers and two per-

cent for mature cows. “I am not sure if we are attaining that goal,” he said. Post calving disorders are a costly loss and have a lot to do with cow management. Bulls known for their easy calving progeny should be selected for heifers. Calving problems lead to early culling and other health problems. Young heifers could also be genetically tested, with the most desirable ones bred as replacements using sexed semen. The others can be used as embryo recipients or sold. Reproduction is a growing problem among modern dairy cattle. Knowing the pregnancy rate is a good outcome but does not show how to fix fertility problems. Calving intervals used to be acceptable at 13 months, but 14 months is now acceptable. “With increasing milk production, we seem to have got a lower conception rate, whether it is genetic or whether we don’t know how to manage these critters in high production,” Murray said.

PERITONITIS | PREVENTION, DIAGNOSIS

Peritonitis cases can be prevented; post-mortems useful ANIMAL HEALTH

ROY LEWIS, DVM

eritonitis refers to the inflammation or infection around the peritoneum, which is the inside lining of the abdomen. Any infection involving the abdomen is described as peritonitis. It could be infection around the intestines, stomachs, liver or uterus in cows and heifers. There are many causes of peritonitis and if a veterinarian can diagnose it and determine the cause, it may be possible to prevent future infections. Some cases aren’t preventable but at least producers can take comfort in the knowledge there was nothing that could have been done. Increased temperature, depression and grunting from a painful abdomen are common signs of peritonitis. To help make a diagnosis, veterinarians may take blood for a blood count and check fibrinogen levels, which are an indication that inflammatory material is collecting in the abdomen. Because the abdomen is painful on palpation, a veterinarian might do a grunt test with a withers pinch. Hardware disease is a common form of peritonitis. This is caused by something sharp, usually metal, penetrating though the reticulum (first stomach), causing the contents to leak out and cause infection. This might also involve infection around the heart.

Vets might in certain circumstances advise putting magnets in the cattle. The magnets stay in the reticulum for the life of the animal and ferrous compounds stick to the magnet, preventing it from penetrating through the first stomach. Magnets have become less expensive and the good ones are strong. Hardware disease can be a reoccurring problem in intense feeder operations and dairies, where lots of equipment is used and metal can get into the silage. If caught early, a veterinarian might prescribe anti-inflammatory drugs and antibiotics. Several other types of acute diffuse peritonitis result in a sudden death, occurring over one or two days. Autopsies on these animals may provide usable information. In many cases, post-mortems can be done under the BSE testing program, as long as the animal is older than 30 months and meets other criteria. A post-mortem is critical to help determine the exact cause of the peritonitis. Sometimes the medical history may indicate the source, such as a hard calving or head back or breech birth that was corrected. These problems may lead to a torn uterus, allowing placenta and uterine contents to leak into the abdomen. In major infections, the whole abdomen may be infected and it might be difficult for the attending veterinarian to determine the initial cause of the infection. Cattle have an amazing ability to wall off the infection and minimize its spread. That is why they can survive more abdominal infection than any other species. This is why caesarean sections can be performed in barns with good results, as long as some degree of hygiene is followed.

Other causes of peritonitis include rupture of abscesses on the liver or a traumatic breeding by a large aggressive bull rupturing the vagina of a heifer. Grain overloads can lead to peritonitis, especially around the rumen. Birthing can also cause problems. The rectum may rupture at calving or another phenomena, called the scissor effect, might occur if the cow’s small intestine gets trapped between the pelvis and uterus. This happens more following instances of backward calving. As the calf is expelled, the pressure on the intestines creates a cut from the cow’s pelvis. Ingesta is spilled out internally and the cow usually dies within 24 to 36 hours. These can happen from a pull or even when a cow calves naturally. A post-mortem in this case identifies the problem and rules out other sudden death causes, such as blackleg or grass tetany, which can be prevented. Twice in my long career I have had the rectum rip clear through from palpating. The resulting peritonitis would have killed the animals but in one instance, I had the heifer emergency slaughtered. In the other instance, I was able to suture the tear. This is why it is necessary to check the uterus to make sure there are no tears following tough calvings or when mal-presentations are corrected. Producers who discover a tear should call a veterinarian, who might be able to suture it and save the cow. Some products for the treatment of milk fever and other metabolic disorders are approved for intraperitoneal use (injection into the body cavity) but many are not, so be careful. If delivering products this way make sure the needle is new and the injection is given through a clean area.

WEATHER | WHAT’S IN A NAME?

Memorable winter needs good name COWBOY LOGIC

RYAN TAYLOR

t seems like everything gets a name these days. They’ve named hurricanes for years and now they name winter storms. They name pieces of legislation to make them easier to reference as we curse them or bless them. We name cars and pets and kids, too, of course. It all goes to the point that things are easier to remember and track if they have an assigned handle. I’ve been thinking it’s time to start naming the seasons to help us remember them down the road. I suppose Shakespeare got the ball rolling on that when he coined the phrase, “the winter of our discontent,” in his play Richard III. John Steinbeck liked the Shakespeare reference, too, and used it for a book title. I read it was also used to

reference a tough winter for British politicians in 1978-79, which is remembered for cold weather, numerous labour strikes and eventual political turnover. Winter is always kind of a season of melancholy, what with the short daylight hours and all. And if we remember them by name, it’ll also remind us that spring does come and each winter hits the history books eventually. I’d call the winter of 2009-10 the “winter of the 10 foot snow and 20 foot snow banks.” I suppose I could mention the blocked roads, the stuck vehicles and the stranded hay bales out in the fields, but you’ve got to draw the word count line somewhere when you’re naming seasons. I’d call last year’s super mild winter the “winter without skiing,” since the brown hue of the prairie kept our family’s cross country skis stowed away in the shed all winter long. The winter of 1996-97 I’d call the “winter of the many blizzards,” eight in all, I think, with April’s Blizzard Hannah being the most memorable to me. I was dragging newborn calves into the barn with a horse and sled for hours on end in the fury of Miss Hannah. I remembered the name Hannah because I remembered the storm,

and I knew it was the eighth storm because “H” is the eighth letter in the alphabet. That’s how the storm naming thing works. This year, according to Weather Channel’s naming system, the eighth winter storm would be Helen. Our local weather namers in North Dakota must not be using the Weather Channel system because we just had Blizzard Dolley rather than the suggested Blizzard Draco. The Weather Channel was going with a Roman-Greek theme: Athena, Brutus, Caesar and Draco, who, we all know, was the first legislator of Athens in ancient Greece. I’ll take Dolley over Draco for a name, and the way most of the legislature in North Dakota has been acting this winter, there’s no need to name anything after legislators. So I won’t get into naming the individual storms, but in response to a distinct phenomenon on the ranch this winter, I believe I’ll christen this season the “winter of the frozen bale twine.” It’s a deserved name. Ryan Taylor is a rancher, writer and senator in the state legislature from Towner, North Dakota.

There once was a rumen injector for delivering a deworming product directly into the rumen. It was soon pulled because it was causing peritonitis. This could be an infectious process or a chemical peritonitis from the sensitive internal organs’ reaction to the product. Either way, it led to a sick animal. Think twice about injecting anything into the abdomen unless advised by a veterinarian. The newest trend in pregnancy testing is using an ultrasound with an introducer. Veterinarians must use lots of lubricant on these and introduce it carefully if the cows have dry manure. I have heard of two instances where the introducer perforated the colon, which killed the cow. The veterinarian had no idea this had happened. If after handling, processing or pregnancy checking cows suddenly

die, it is good to get a post-mortem to identify if an injury occurred during processing. This might prevent it happening in the future. Peritonitis in young calves can result from such things as perforated abomasal ulcers, blocked intestines and navel infections gone internal. Keep these in mind when dealing with sick calves. There are methods to prevent navel infections and surgery may correct the other two problems if caught early. Work with a veterinarian by getting post-mortems carried out on unexplained cattle deaths. Many of these deaths can be reduced, or the postmortem may unearth an unexpected disease.

Building a new flax processing facility in Angusville, Man., is one of several moves Grain Millers Inc. is making to serve health food markets in North America. | FILE PHOTO PROCESSING | MARKETS

Grain Millers invests in flax New technology | A U.S. company is helping to build a flax processing facility in Manitoba BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Investment money from an experienced flax products processor will build help a new plant in Manitoba and manufacture food products at two U.S. locations. It’s exactly what the flax industry needs as it tries to resurrect itself from the near-death it experienced due to the Triffid crisis, flax officials say. “It is really good to have diversified markets,” said Linda Braun, executive director of the Saskatchewan Flax Development Commission. “The Triffid incident taught us that our markets were very small.” Minneapolis-based Grain Millers Inc. has announced it is partnering with Linda and Glenn Pizzey, Canadian pioneers in the flax human food market. Together they will build a flax processing plant at Angusville, Man., and also manufacture innovative flax products at two locations in the U.S.

Grain Millers has experience sourcing oats and making oat-based food in North America, with a mill in Yorkton, Sask., and a number of locations in the U.S. It has also handled flax, but the company’s new plants and products pushes it further into the flax human food market. It is using a trademarked process called SafeFlax that treats flax so that it is pathogen-free but does not damage the crop’s healthy oil profile, as happens with most heat treatments. The Pizzeys were early developers of flax healthful food products, using an earlier plant in Angusville. They sold that operation to an Irish company in 2007, but it burned down a year ago. Grain Millers said its investment in Angusville and the other operations in Wisconsin and Indiana will allow it to reliably supply the growing North American healthful food market. Flax is an odd duck among prairie crops, with well-defined human,

feed and industrial markets. Much of the crop was previously used to make linoleum flooring, while the meal is valued by dairy producers and the oil is regarded highly by healthful food promoters. However, its booming European market, based mostly on flooring and dairy, was almost completely lost in 2009 when tiny amounts of Triffid, a genetically modified variety, was found in prairie flax shipments. Extreme anti-GM rules in the European Union shut flax out of the market and caused prices, sales and interest in the crop to temporarily collapse. However, significant Chinese demand appeared in the same year that Europe disappeared, and the bottom didn’t drop out of the market. As well, steady development of human health food interest has helped ensure that farmers can grow the crop and sell it after harvest. “China stepped up in a huge way,” said FarmLink Marketing analyst Jon

Driedger. “They viewed it as a very cheap and affordable vegetable oil.” However, the crop is still hobbled by the European situation, with only 1.1 million acres expected to be planted on the Prairies this spring, far less than before 2009. The steady expansion of North American human consumption and the maintenance of Chinese demand will be key to giving the crop a reasonable demand base, Driedger said. Flax products are common in the healthful food section of grocery stores and in dozens of other products and baked goods. However, Grain Millers president Steve Albertson said the industry hasn’t been developing its technology as quickly as consumer interest develops, which is why working with the Pizzeys was essential. “Their passion for flax and their understanding of its nutritional and functional benefits are unmatched,” said Eilertson in the official announcement.

RETAIL | ANNUAL REPORT

Calgary’s Rocky Mountain Dealerships records earnings of $24M, increases dividend SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Rocky Mountain Dealerships Inc. reported net annual earnings of $23.975 million last year, up 3.3 percent from $23.209 million in 2011. The company operates 40 Case and New Holland dealerships in Western Canada. Revenue rose 20.3 percent to $966.1 million.

Normalized earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization rose by 4.7 percent to $46.5 million. Matt Campbell, chief executive officer of Calgary-based Rocky, said in a news release the company undertook several initiatives to enhance shareholder value.

“We were able to repurchase our convertible debentures, resulting in considerable interest savings, as well as eliminating the dilutive effect the debentures created,” he said. “We increased our dividend by 50 percent in 2012.” Results were also enhanced by gen-

erally good conditions in agriculture and construction. The company re-branded its dealership network, unifying it under the name Rocky Mountain Equipment. Campbell said the improved environment in agriculture resulted in a shift to increased sales of new equipment and fewer used equipment

sales. The profit margin on new sales is less than other aspects of the business, but the sales increase market share and customer base, which creates future opportunities. “We will now work towards translating this larger equipment base into increased product support revenues going forward.”

NEW VENTURES | OATS

Abandoned Altona plant soon will handle oats

There are no second chances THE BOTTOM LINE

Buyers lined up | Entrepreneurs plan to build food packaging plant GLENN CHEATER

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Two entrepreneurs have bought a vacant plant in southern Manitoba and plan to process oats. Frank Reimer, who owns Global Grain, an exporter of edible beans in Plum Coulee, Man., and his partner Edwin Guenther bought a bankrupt pulse plant in nearby Altona, Man., last year. Their oat plant, which will open in a few months, will be called Buffalo Creek Mills. “We plan to start with stabilizing oat groats. The plan is to establish it as a healthy food producer and packager,” Reimer told Pembina Valley Online. “We are pursuing a market in Peru, but once you have the oat groats stabilized, you can basically ship them all over the world. We have buyers in South Korea and there are lots of small players in the Caribbean that will buy a stabilized oat groat for making oat flakes.” The Altona plant had never been used. A company from Pakistan, in partnership with towns and municipalities around Altona, began building the 25,000 sq. foot plant in 2008. It would eventually cost $3.2 million to build. However, the Pakistani company went bankrupt before the plant opened. “You had a food grade building sitting there and it’s very discouraging, when month after month there’s no action,” said Don Wiebe, RM of Rhineland reeve.

An unused plant in Altona, Man., has been purchased by Buffalo Creek Mills to process oats. | FILE PHOTO Art Enns, a farmer and oat grower near Morris, Man., hasn’t heard much about Buffalo Creek Mills, but a new processing plant is welcome news for Manitoba’s oat industry. “I really think we need all the oat processing we can get in the province,” said Enns, a Manitoba Oat Growers director. “It’s no secret that oats are losing market share to other acres. Soybeans and corn are big crops com-

ing up in Manitoba.” Enns said oats are declining in Manitoba, and even he, as a Oat Growers director, has reduced acreage. “It’s all about price,” he said. “If you can get a good price, people will grow it…. With more (oat) processing and more demand… we may be able to get a (few) more acres.” Enns said he will grow oats this spring but hasn’t decided on acreage.

for the year, an increase of $174.6 million, or 31.2 percent, the company said in a news release. The improvements were due to acquisitions and improved results at existing operations. Revenue from the same stores the company owned last year increased 12.7 percent. There was a shift toward more new equipment sales from used equipment. The company bought four Peterbilt dealerships and a collision repair center dealership in

Saskatchewan, together with their respective land and buildings, for a total price of $35 million. It added dealerships in Australia and New Zealand and completed a $34.5 million public offering of convertible debentures for net proceeds of $32.9 million. “Cervus experienced strong overall growth in 2012, driven largely by our agricultural equipment segment and the Frontier Peterbilt transportation group we acquired in March,” said president Graham Drake.

NEWS BRIEFS

Cervus year end results Cervus Equipment Corp. posted annual net profit of $24.6 million last year, up $6.5 million, or 35.6 percent, from the previous year. Basic earnings per share increased to $1.65, an increase of almost 30 percent, for the company that owns John Deere agricultural and construction dealerships in Western Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Gross revenue was $734.2 million

t can take just seconds for risk to go from the theoretical to stomach-churning reality. For Brian Hughes, all it took was the person on the other end of the phone to say he was with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. “It was a Sunday night, around 8 or 9 o’clock, when I got the call,” says the owner of Kildara Farms. “It pulls you up by the bootstraps right away.” The next morning, June 22, 2009, a government news release headlined “Health Hazard Alert” was issued, warning consumers that Kildara Farms’ gourmet organic salad greens “may contain” salmonella bacteria. There was no contamination. To this day, Hughes doesn’t know what happened. Perhaps one of the 10 packages of salad greens an inspector had picked up the previous Monday was contaminated after it left his farm, or perhaps there was a foul-up in the testing. What is known is that a battery of subsequent tests found nothing. The recalled salad greens were tested, including some from the same batch the CFIA had tested. Multiple tests by an independent lab were conducted, including on all of the recently cut salad beds in Kildara’s greenhouses. No problem was found. Hughes says he was later told the finding was “presumptive,” not conclusive. He now regrets not demanding a secondary test, which rules out false positives. But at the time, he didn’t know there was such a test and besides, he was reeling from this unexpected news. “ B e f o re t hat ha p p e n e d , w e thought we ran a pretty good show,” he says. “We’d being doing it for 22 years and never had a problem.” He had one then. Kildara Farms, which produces nearly 7,000 kilograms of organic salad greens a year, was shut down for three months and suffered losses in excess of $150,000. Fortunately, there was an out-

pouring of support from customers, and no wonder. Kildara is an icon in Canadian organic agriculture. Hughes and wife Daphne built it from scratch in 1987, carving it out of 30 acres of scrubland overlooking Deep Cove, 30 kilometres north of Victoria. People love this West Coast version of Old MacDonald’s Farm with its profusion of wildflowers, freerange chickens, apple trees and fields of berries and veggies. Thousands have visited, it hosts weddings, and all three of the couple’s children now work in the operation. Still, it was a bitterly hard time, made worse by dealing with a bureaucracy that Hughes found unresponsive. “We thought we’d be down for two weeks, but it was over three months. Every time we thought we had done everything they wanted, they’d come and say, ‘oh, now you’ve got to do this or that,’ ” says Hughes. “For a small family farm, it was just crippling.” But while the process was deeply frustrating, Hughes was happy to make the changes. “We’re not upset about what we had to do to improve the operation,” he says. “These were things that needed doing.” Why? Because of that out-of-theblue phone call. After that, Hughes says, risk stopped being a theoretical thing and “pretty good” was no longer good enough. “That episode is always there somewhere, you’re always thinking about that,” he says. Risk management is now embraced on the farm. Prep surfaces are sanitized before and after cutting each batch of greens. Walk-in cooler temperatures are religiously monitored and recorded. There’s now a three-stage washing process for greens. The list goes on and on. As well, an independent lab tests each batch (two a week) before it leaves the farm. Every single test has come back negative. Farmers don’t need another lecture on how they must do a better job of managing risk, whether it’s food safety, protecting themselves from market volatility or ensuring their farm is a safe place to work. But put yourself in Hughes’ position and imagine taking that kind of phone call. Then ask yourself if that wouldn’t change your attitude to risk management in a hurry.
