U.S. ban spills over | Margins tighten BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Canadian farmers have already suffered damage from Russia’s ban on ractopamine in U.S. pigs, says the head of the eastern Prairies’ biggest hog marketer. The imposition of the ban directly on Canadian slaughter plants will likely exacerbate the problem. “When you’re already losing money, there is no margin (to lose),” said Perry Mohr, general manager of Hams Marketing.

Sustainable agricultural policies will soon land in farmers’ laps Unilever, Walmart, McCain Foods and others implement new objectives to push farmers to grow sustainably BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Corporate statements on social responsibility are typically wishywashy, often featuring phrases such as “building capacity,” “establ i s h i n g b e n c h m a r k s” a n d t h e always popular “further science is needed.” In contrast, Unilever’s policy on sustainable agriculture is crystal clear. As stated on its website, the consumer goods and food products

giant, which posted $51 billion in sales in 2012, plans to source 100 percent of its agricultural raw materials sustainably by 2020. Unilever is not alone. A number of global companies, including Wa l m a r t , M c C a i n F o o d s a n d Marks & Spencer, have also developed sustainable agriculture policies. Matt Loose, a director of a Toronto consulting firm that specializes in sustainability, said those corporate objectives will encourage or push

farmers to grow crops and raise livestock in a sustainable manner. Loose was to present a Stratos report on the state of sustainable food at the April 9 Canadian Food Summit in Toronto. Prior to the summit, Loose said the move toward sustainable food is happening rapidly because corporations want to brand their products as sustainable. They also see potential cost savings in sustainability and want to establish resilient supply chains that can

withstand droughts and extreme weather associated with climate change. “The (sustainability) standards are being driven by large, international food companies,” he said. Unilever is a good example. The British-Dutch company has written a 76-page sustainable agriculture code that lays out company policies on agro-chemicals, soil, water, biodiversity, energy and animal welfare.

Hog ban hurts markets Russia announced at the start of April that it would ban pork and beef imports from plants that accept ractopaminetreated animals, starting April 8. The same date applied to the imposition of a ban on Mexican pork shipments from animals that have been fed ractopamine. It extends a December ban that Russia placed on meat from animals fed ractopamine but allowed meat from non-ractopamine pigs and cattle slaughtered in the same facility to be imported. Mohr said the recent Russian and Chinese bans on U.S. pork plants that slaughter any ractopamine-fed pigs has already reduced North American base prices. “U.S. prices dropped about $10 per hundredweight over a three week period,” said Mohr. “All Canadian prices are based off U.S. prices.” Ractopamine is a feed-supplied substance that stimulates lean muscle mass and discourages fat gain. It makes hog production more efficient because pork prices are based on muscle content. Producers generally gain $2 to $5 per head using ractopamine. Russia’s ban on Canadian plants is not total. Plants that process zero ractopamine-fed pigs can still export to Russia, China and other markets

that have imposed controls. Both the HyLife plant in Neepawa, Man., and the Maple Leaf plant in Lethbridge accept only ractopamine-free pigs so that they can sell to these markets. As a result, their business should be unaffected. However, Canada’s major processing plants will probably be cut out of the Russian market. Most Mexican and U.S. plants accept ractopamine-fed pigs. Canadian packers will be faced with tough choices over this ban. Producers are loath to lose the advantages of ractopamine, especially in loss-making times. Also, companies such as Olymel and Maple Leaf produce a lot of their own pigs and likely don’t want to pay more than necessary to feed them to slaughter weight. The Canadian and U.S. industries are skeptical of the purpose of the bans. Countries such as Russia and China claim to have health concerns as the basis, but North American authorities believe restricting imports to boost domestic prices and help their own farmers is likely the true cause. Russia is not an important market for Canadian beef, buying only $15 million worth in 2011. However, it is a big market for Canadian pork, buying more than $500 million per year.

To qualify as sustainable under Unilever’s guidelines, a grower must keep records to justify agro-chemical use, including the type of product applied, the rate and the application date. They must also have an integrated pest management system in place and establish a soil management system, with the goal of maintaining soil to support healthy crops. Growers have complained in the past of having to fill out extensive paperwork without compensation. Walmart, the world’s largest retailer, also has a sustainable agriculture program.

SPRING OUTLOOK | SASKATCHEWAN

Sask. braces for floods High runoff potential | Province urges communities to prepare now BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

The likelihood of flooding has increased in parts of Saskatchewan after a stormy, snowy March, the province’s Water Security Agency said April 8. Persistent cold weather, expected through mid-April, is delaying the melt, which also increases the chance of a fast melt and subsequent flood once the temperature rises, said John Fahlman, director of hydrology and groundwater services at the WSA. “It increases the risk of a high peak, of a very flashy runoff where the water comes all at once,” he said. The entire agricultural area of the province is expected to see above normal runoff and large pockets will see well above normal runoff. As well, areas that were expected to see very high runoff have grown, according to the April runoff forecast. Communities that saw flooding in 2011 are likely to experience high water levels again, and Regina and Moose Jaw could actually see more water than they did two years ago. It all depends, however, on the

weather. Earlier this week, forecasters suggested more snow would fall on the weekend. Officials said flood preparations are well in hand. “We feel we’re as ready as we can be,” said Ken Cheveldayoff, minister responsible for the WSA. The government has established a cabinet committee headed by government relations minister Jim Reiter and including Cheveldayoff, agriculture minister Lyle Stewart and highways minister Don McMorris to coordinate preparation and response. The highways ministry has assembled culverts and bridge replacement materials. It has 15 emergency flood trailers with portable lighting stands, 5,000 signs and markers, 500 sets of barricades, 25 400-gallon water tanks, 30 pumps, 100 night flagging kits, 750 barricade lights and 30 steamers standing by. The Emergency Flood Damage Reduction Program, which first launched in 2011, is again available to help individuals and municipalities put either temporary or permanent flood works in place. WSA president Wayne Dybvig said 44 applica-

tions had already been received in just a few days. The program has seen 580 permanent works constructed since 2011. Releases from the Rafferty, Alameda and Boundary reservoirs in southeastern Saskatchewan have increased to make room for more water storage. The WSA has also launched a mobile website for smartphone and tablet users. “I urge people to look at the forecast and make the appropriate preparations for flooding,” Cheveldayoff said. Fahlman said officials have revised their runoff estimates since March to predict higher water levels along the Qu’Appelle River system, especially in the headwaters at the Moose Jaw River and Wascana Creek through Lumsden. Lake levels will be higher than expected in March but still lower than 2011 at this point. Moose Jaw is likely to see a considerable peak, perhaps approaching the record of 1974, he said. The city also tends to see significant ice jams that cause water to back up. The Wascana Creek through Regi-

na will reach higher levels than 2011 but not higher than 1974, he added. A few weeks of 10 C days and -5 C nights would minimize the flood risk. But sooner or later, it won’t freeze at night. “The later this goes, the more likelihood that we’re going to get a rapid

change of weather,” Fahlman said. If the high peak does occur, it might lessen the duration of flooding, he said. “I’m sure the farmers would rather just see it get warm and stay warm so they could get out there.” SEE MANITOBA FEARS LATE SEEDING PAGE 4

SPRING OUTLOOK | ALBERTA

Alta. farmers predict late seeding start BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Seeding equipment is poised and ready in Alberta’s deep south as farmers await a few more days of warm, windy weather to melt a light weekend snowfall and then dry the soil. But farmers north of a snow line that divides the province from Red Deer southeast to Acadia Valley are still looking at wintry conditions. Alberta Agriculture agrometeorology expert Ralph Wright said areas around Edmonton and parts of the Peace River region have snow at depths seen about once every 50 years, while those in Clear Hills County in northwestern Alberta have a one in 25 year snow level. Snow levels south of Red Deer are average to slightly below average. Many farmers are predicting a late start to seeding as snow lingers. In the northern Peace, Nick Parsons figures seeding will be delayed

until well into May, although he is encouraged by the moisture that heavy snow will offer to a region that has suffered several years of drought. “We would like a good year,” said Parsons. In the Oyen region, Marlene Caskey said wet snow on the weekend has added to an already substantial amount. “We never, ever say anything bad about getting moisture in this corner of the province, but we’ve got enough now to start good seed in the spring,” she said. “But we’re a good three weeks before we turn a wheel here, at least, and that puts it late for seeding.” Crop adviser Jim Warren said there are still two metre drifts near Thorsby, and an early spring is unlikely for those farming between there and Viking. “We won’t be in the fields before May 1,” he said. He echoed Caskey’s thoughts that acres will be lost to potholes that

expand when all the snow melts. Melting could occur sooner than some expect, said Wright. His data indicates soil temperatures across a large swath of the province are near zero, insulated by an October snow and kept cozy by a mild winter. “Throughout most of the province, say north of Red Deer where the big snows are currently still lingering, our weather stations are showing that soil temperatures are pretty close to the zero mark,” he said. “That means that hopefully a lot of this snow, more than usual, will soak into the ground.” River forecast engineer David Watson of Alberta Environment said mountain snow pack levels are average and do not point to flood risk at this stage. Some overland flooding is possible due to higher snow levels on the plains, but that will depend on the rate of melt, soil temperatures and other spring precipitation.

FERTILIZER | PRODUCTION

Future fertilizer supplies expected to send prices down New facilities | Prices should decline for the long term BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Fertilizer analysts say a rash of new production plants will drive down nitrogen prices for years to come, reducing the cost of the biggest input expense on Canadian farms. “We’re just about at the tipping point of seeing this cycle begin to turn,” said David Asbridge, president of NPK Fertilizer Advisory. “We’re definitely heading to a lower price situation.” Rabobank recently released a report that said more than 65 new projects have been announced that will expand global urea capacity by 30 percent between now and 2020. “The expansion is driven mainly by the exploitation of shale gas in the United States, new gas fields in Brazil, political incentives in India and lowcost natural gas in the Middle East and Africa,” Rabobank analyst Rakhi Sehrawat said in a news release. “This rush on the supply side will have a strong influence on the urea demand-supply picture in the coming five to 10 years.” Rabobank predicts the urea market will enter an era of oversupply starting in 2015 as key importers such as the United States, Brazil and India attempt to become more self-sufficient in production of the fertilizer. Competition among exporters in the Middle East, Africa, China and the former Soviet Union will also intensify, resulting in price pressure and capacity rationalization in highcost regions. Green Markets, a U.S. publication that covers the fertilizer industry, published a list in December of 26 companies contemplating the construction of more than 40 nitrogen fertilizer projects in North America. The list has since expanded to more than 30 companies. However, executive editor Steve Seay said there is serious doubt whether all of those projects will proceed.

NITROGEN PRICES EXPECTED TO FALL Green Markets is forecasting that supply of urea fertilizer will increase 89 million tonnes by 2017 compared to a 15 million tonne increase in demand. Analysts say that means long-term nitrogen fertilizer prices are heading lower starting as soon as this fall. (in million tonnes) China Ammonia capacity Urea capacity

“It seems like a lot of people have money for press releases. It’s a lot easier to put out a press release than it is to go out and find somebody that’s going to loan you $1.5 billion to build a plant,” he said. “Maybe a handful of the projects will go forward.” Even then, he believes there is a “distinct possibility” the industry will be overbuilt in the next four to seven years, which would drive down urea prices. Neil Fleishman, senior industry analyst with Green Markets, has compiled a list of projects that are likely to come to fruition. His work shows world urea capacity could reach 285.4 million tonnes by 2017, up 89 million tonnes from last year’s levels. By contrast, demand is expected to increase 15 million tonnes over that same time frame. “I do agree that an oversupply situation is going to happen in the global urea market,” said Fleishman. Asbridge said urea is the most widely traded fertilizer product in the world and sets the tone for all nitrogen fertilizer prices. Urea is used by everybody from subsistence farmers

in China to massive operations in Canada. “That’s why urea is kind of the linchpin of the whole system, is because it is so predominant when it comes to world fertilizer usage,” he said. Urea is by far the most popular fertilizer product in Canada. According to Agriculture Canada, it accounted for 33 percent of all fertilizer use in 2010, which is almost double phosphate use, the next most popular ingredient. Asbridge said urea prices are already on their way down. The Gulf Coast price for the product is about $400 per tonne, down from $720 per tonne the same time last year. That’s a bit of an anomaly because U.S. growers got into their fields about one month earlier than expected last year, causing a supply shortage in the U.S. Midwest that drove up prices to artificially high levels. Asbridge doesn’t think prices will fall to the levels seen in 2010 of about $230 per tonne, but they could easily drop by $50 to $75 per tonne. “For the next three to five years, we’re going to see the supply growing faster than demand is going to grow,

Farmers could enjoy lower nitrogen fertilizer prices if projections about future production projects come true. | FILE PHOTO and that is what is going to put the pressure on prices,” he said. If prices fall 20 percent, he expects plants to be idled in high-cost regions such as Ukraine. It will also bring an abrupt end to some of the proposed new projects, which should keep a floor on how low prices can drop. Asbridge said producers shouldn’t expect lower prices this spring. In fact, there could be a seasonal upward blip in prices as seeding gets into full swing in the United States. However, more nitrogen fertilizer is already hitting the market, and there is a good chance prices could trend lower in time for fall fieldwork. “But it’s partially going to be offset by lower crop prices,” he added.

Asbridge said the building frenzy will lead to the first new production plants in North America since the 1960s. In fact, most of the new project announcements are for the U.S. market, which has the lowest natural gas prices in the world, said Fleishman. Natural gas is the primary feedstock for urea fertilizer production in most parts of the world, with the exception of China, which uses coal. Natural gas prices have been stabilizing in the U.S., but they are still low and are expected to remain in that price range for the foreseeable future. “The days of very expensive gas in the United States are over,” said Fleishman.

WEATHER | MANITOBA

Persistent snow increases chances for late seeding in Manitoba Stubble remains covered | Snowfalls in early April will push back seeding dates to the middle of May for many producers BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

With 25 centimetres of snow still on the ground in the second week of April, seeding in southwestern Manitoba may be delayed until the third week of May. Rob Pettinger, who farms near Minto, Man., said most farmers in his area cannot recall a spring similar to this one, with persistent cold and snowy conditions until the middle of April. “Snow flurries on April 8 really isn’t uncommon. What’s uncommon is we’ve still got 10 foot snow drifts in front of the house.”

April has also been particularly chilly in Manitoba, with temperatures dipping below -10 C at night and rarely rising above zero during the day. Pettinger said the thick snow pack covering fields in southwestern Manitoba will not disappear overnight, even if the weather turns warm in the second half of April. “There’s still a good foot of snow, right across (the region),” he said. “You could jump on the Ski-Doo and ride anywhere you wanted. There’s no stubble showing through the snow at all.” Pettinger said spring seeding on his farm might not start until the May

long weekend. “Even with the very best conditions you could get, we’re probably looking at close to May 20,” he said. “Generally, we need three weeks after the snow is gone. And we’re a long ways before the last snow drift (melts).” Chuck Fossay, who farms near Starbuck, Man., said the stubble is exposed on a few spots on his fields, but with 30 cm of snow blanketing most of his land, seeding is unlikely before the middle of May. Fossay said the snow pack is insulating the soil, which should reduce the amount of water ponding on his land.

“We’re fortunate that there isn’t a lot of frost in the ground,” he said. “So when it melts, it will go into the ground and won’t be standing out on the field for too long. The other thing is the snow is kind of sugary. Not a lot of moisture in it.” Assuming the weather warms up soon, spring rain will likely determine when Manitoba farmers begin seeding. In 2011, heavy rain in May and June overwhelmed already saturated soil across Manitoba. Approximately 2.9 million acres went unseeded that year. On April 4, the U.S. National Weather Service predicted the cold weather

in North Dakota and northern Minnesota would persist until the middle of the month, but the pattern would likely change in the second half of April. Nevertheless, warmer temperatures increase the risk of spring showers, and “rain amounts greater than two inches are not uncommon in the last half of April,” NWS forecasters noted. On the positive side, a slow and steady cool rain could help thaw the soil and melt snow, the NWS said. Manitoba forecasters said in late March that there will be moderate to major flooding of the Red River and other waterways in the province.

GENETIC MODIFICATION | ALFALFA

GM alfalfa opponents say spread inevitable Report outlines factors that would encourage spread | Seed trade association is developing coexistence strategies ALFALFA PRODUCTION

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

A report released last week by the Canadian Biotechnology Action Network states its position in the title: The Inevitability of Contamination from GM Alfalfa Release in Ontario. Roundup Ready alfalfa has been approved for release in Canada, and U.S. based Forage Genetics International has the commercialization rights. It has applied for Canadian registration, and that process is now underway. If approved, the company has said it intends to sell Roundup Ready alfalfa only in Eastern Canada for use as hay. CBAN co-ordinator Lucy Sharratt said the network’s report itemizes the ways RR alfalfa could contaminate all alfalfa in Canada. “We hope the report is a substantial contribution to this question of what does it mean if GM alfalfa is introduced,” she said. “We think it’s the definitive word on this question of contamination, although farmers already have said contamination will happen. It’s not in question. But we’ve put the details down together in this one paper.” An analysis of RR alfalfa and its potential effects on production was also recently posted on the Canadian Seed Trade Association website. A Coexistence Plan for Alfalfa Hay in Eastern Canada is intended to identify practices that will allow all alfalfa hay production systems, including RR alfalfa, to be used in Eastern Canada. CSTA executive director Patty Townsend said the plan is a framework for alfalfa hay production experts to use in developing best management practices if and when

The Canadian Biotechnology Action Network says the unintentional spread of genetically modified alfalfa is inevitable. | FILE PHOTO RR alfalfa is registered. “With the pace of technology now, we have to do something to ensure that farmers that don’t want to use that technology can still produce with the systems they want to produce in, and so we have to give it our best shot to develop coexistence plans,” Townsend said. “This is only for alfalfa hay in Eastern Canada. The company (FGI) has said they have no intention to commercialize for seed anywhere in Canada or for anything in Western Canada.” Mike Peterson, global traits lead for FGI, confirmed the company’s intentions April 8. “Our initial intent is to sell only in Ontario east because that’s the only part of the country where we will have a coexistence plan in place,” he said. Townsend said a panel of forage

experts will soon develop a list of best management practices that will form part of that coexistence plan. However, CBAN contends that spread of the RR trait is inevitable given the perennial’s outcrossing abilities. Its report said the trait could be spread by seed escape, by bees and other pollinators and through volunteer and feral alfalfa. Seed spillage and traces left in farm equipment could result in spread, the report said. As well, a percentage of alfalfa seed can stay dormant for years and then germinate, possibly within non-GM forage crops. Leafcutter bees and honeybees could also spread pollen to non-GM varieties. “Leafcutter bees forage up to 1,000 metres from their nests, and may travel even further over time,” said the report.

“It is impossible to fully control the forage patterns of pollinators or the bloom timings of a forage stand.” The report was released a week before April 9 protests against RR alfalfa were to be held outside more than 35 MP offices across the country. “Everyone knows this is what the outcome of releasing GM alfalfa in Eastern Canada will be. It will be contamination in farmers’ fields,” Sharratt said. “So then the question is, what are the economic consequences of that and how can we stop GM alfalfa? Who will stop GM alfalfa?” She said a mechanism is needed in Canada to evaluate the economic risks and benefits of GM crops, which would include farmer consultation. The CSTA-initiated report details hay production in Canada, current markets and alfalfa biology. In a list of

“principles of coexistence,” the first one is “to provide producers with freedom of choice and opportunity to pursue diverse markets.” A list of measures to mitigate lowlevel presence of GM traits in Eastern Canadian hay production lists some of the same transmission modes noted in the CBAN report. Measures include: • Using certified seed. • Cleaning planting equipment. • Testing seed before planting. • Considering GPS tracking. • Controlling flowering alfalfa on field edges and ditches. • Treating volunteers as weeds in subsequent crops. • Rotating with non-alfalfa crops. • Labelling hay lots. • Physically separating hay lots for transportation and storage. Peterson said it is unlikely RR alfalfa will be available for sale this year, and there are no plans for future sales in Western Canada.

GRAIN GRADING | INSPECTOR TESTS

GRADING FACTS

CFA official urges standardized grain grader training

• The Canadian Grain Commission offers an Official Grain Grading Guide at www.grainscanada.gc.ca/ oggg-gocg/ggg-gcg-eng.htm

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

WINNIPEG — A Canadian Federation of Agriculture official thinks grain graders should have to pass a standardized course before doing their jobs. CFA vice-president Humphrey Banack said a certified training program for grain graders would assure farmers that their crops were evaluated objectively at an inland terminal. “The guy grading my grain today might have been shoveling my (truck) box out a year ago,” Banack said at the Canada Grains Council annual meeting Winnipeg April 2. “We (farmers) are concerned that he hasn’t taken the proper schooling or training … (and) he’s making an economic impact on my farm.” Banack, who farms near Round Hill, Alta., would like the Canadian Grain Commission or another agency to standardize grain grading training instead of the current system in which grain handling companies train their own employees.

HUMPHREY BANACK CANADIAN FEDERATION OF AGRICULTURE

He said this doesn’t imply that company training is shoddy, but graders have the power to dock the value of grain by thousands of dollars and producers need to know they were trained by a credible third party. “We need to see some assurance of grain grading credentials across the industry,” he said. “That some fellow on shift (at an inland terminal) is a licensed grain grader.” Elwin Hermanson, chief commissioner of the grain commission, said U.S. grain graders must satisfy certain requirements. “The Americans, through the FGIS (Federal Grain Inspection Service),

do train grain inspectors and they have to pass a test,” he said. “We (CGC) are open to doing that going forward. It’s not directly in our mandate, but it’s not totally out of our mandate, from the viewpoint of grain quality assurance.” Producers who are dissatisfied with the grade at an elevator can submit a sample to the CGC. The commission will then assign a protein content or dockage to the sample, which settles the matter. Brenda Tjaden Lepp, co-founder of Farm Link Marketing Solutions, said producers are reluctant to use the appeals process because it may jeopardize a farmer’s relationship with a grain buyer. “If you (the CGC) are not getting a lot of people asking for re-checks … it’s because (farmers) know if they submit it, they’re never going to get a premium or grain upgrade from that (buyer) again,” she told the grains council meeting. “That’s a regularly reported issue from the growers we work with.” Doug Robertson, president of the

Western Barley Growers Association, said technology should be used to mitigate the human element and subjective nature of grading. For example, he said grain companies could use a machine to evaluate the chlorophyll content of canola instead of visually assessing green seeds in a sample. “But what is light green and what’s dark green? You’ve got anywhere from John Deere green to Deutz green to Cat yellow,” Banack said. “In a year when we’re running anywhere from five to 10 percent green, there can be a lot of discounts on that (canola)…. Even if it doesn’t exist, let’s continue to look for ways to explore the technology. The whole grain industry can benefit by knowing what we take in at the pit is matching what we need at the coast.” The grain commission’s Western Standards Committee is evaluating the potential of near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy to measure chlorophyll content of canola. The committee is planning to release its findings this spring.

• Producers who disagree with a grade rating at the terminal can ask to have a sample sent to the CGC for a binding decision on grade and dockage. • For a fee, producers can submit a sample for testing before delivery so they know grade, dockage and moisture, if submitted in moistureproof container. The CGC will also assess protein content in wheat upon request. • The harvest sample program gives producers a free grade on samples from the current year’s crop. Producers can submit samples every autumn and can sign up at the commission’s farm show booths at various locations or online at www.grainscanada.gc.ca/qualityqualite/hsp-per/hspm-mper-eng. htm. The CGC sends a personalized kit to those who sign up. • Grade and quality results apply to the submitted sample and not necessarily to the entire lot. Producers must follow proper procedures for collecting representative samples. Source: Canadian Grain Commission

PORT OF VANCOUVER | COMMODITY TRAFFIC

Expansions promise to boost port traffic Government and private funds | Improvements in co-ordination are reducing bottlenecks and increasing capacity BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Many farmers perceive the port of Vancouver to be congested, ridden with labour strife and the cause of heavy charges for delayed loading of cargo ships. But the port’s director of planning says the reality is far different. “The amount of investment that we’re seeing today is staggering,” Jim Crandles of Port Metro Vancouver said during the Canada Grains Council annual meeting. “Significant investment is being made all around the port.” He said more than $700 million is being spent on export terminal expansions and additions, while billions have been spent on Vancouver infrastructure improvements to help cargo flow better through the highlypopulated area. “It is about trade-related traffic,” said Crandles. “It is about the movement of goods in Vancouver.” Vancouver has a big population and its port is squeezed between people, mountains, rivers and the ocean, but that doesn’t prevent it from building extra capacity. Crandles said much of the money spent on improving rail lines, port facilities and roads comes from the federal government, but commercial users are also making large investments. Those improvements should allow more commodities to flow through Vancouver by removing bottlenecks in the system and boosting rail car unloading, container handling and intra-port goods transfer. Companies are expanding terminal facilities and building new container facilities. Crandles acknowledged that many people perceive the port to have labour problems and frequent disruptions, but in reality “we are the

Crandles focused on the large infrastructure investments, but he said improved co-ordination and communication is also maximizing capacity. “It’s more about these partnerships in getting these things done than it is just about the dollars that we’re able

to bring,” said Crandles. “Our competitors to the south are seeing that Canada’s got its act together and being able to bring some focus and energy and money to the West Coast and reducing bottlenecks and help provide that kind of infrastructure that is going to be the key to our growth.” One improvement in particular should mollify longstanding farmer annoyance. Vancouver has frequent rainfall, but grain ships can’t

be loaded in the rain. Mark Hemmes of Quorum Corp., the grain logistics system overseer, said 12 to 14 percent of Vancouver’s capacity is lost because of rain delays. However, companies have recently begun tarping to partially protect exposed holds from the rain. That should allow some of the lost capacity to be regained. Hemmes said he also hopes rail car unloads can increase to early 2009

levels, when 5,000 per week were unloaded, partly because the world financial crisis led to a collapse of most non-grain commodity traffic. Unloading has since slipped back to 4,000 per week, which have often been the standard, but he believes the 5,000 level can be achieved again if the system is operated better, regardless of competition from other commodities. “We can do this. We can move these volumes,” said Hemmes.

CHINESE IMPORTS | SOYBEANS

Analyst refutes report of fewer soybean exports to China BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Canola growers shouldn’t put too much faith in reports that China will import far fewer soybeans than the U.S. Department of Agriculture is forecasting, says a grain industry analyst. A Bloomberg News poll of researchers and grain traders has concluded China will import 59 million tonnes of the oilseed in 2012-13, well below

the USDA’s estimate of 63 million tonnes. The story says imports are slowing due to logistical problems getting the crop out of Brazil and faltering Chinese crusher demand due to declining vegetable oil prices and lower profits in the hog industry. The Bloomberg findings are backed up by a report issued by China’s stateowned researcher, Grain.gov.cn, which is forecasting 58 million tonnes of imports.

The agency says wavering Chinese demand will put downward pressure on global soybean prices. That could in turn cause a softening in canola values because the two oilseed crops are closely related. Arlan Suderman, senior market analyst with Water Street Advisory in Wichita, Kansas, isn’t buying the reports of waning Chinese soybean demand. “When it comes to China, one has to look at what they do rather than

what they say,” he said. What he sees is a country that is still aggressively sourcing soybeans from South America and the United States and releasing state reserves until South America can sort out its logistical problems. Suderman said he has heard anecdotal stories that China’s soybean supplies are tighter than they’ve been in a long time and have been trending tighter over the last three to five months.

That doesn’t sound to him like a market experiencing slumping demand for the product. China has increased its soybean imports every year since 2004-05, and he doesn’t expect that trend to come to a halt this year. Suderman said Brazil is finally starting to sort out shipment delays. He anticipates that the big Brazilian crop will soon hit the market with full force. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

Durum falls to competition

Oat futures prove steady tool in the long term

Growers in North Dakota may plant it only to get the crop insurance price BY SEAN PRATT

HEDGE ROW

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The 2013 U.S. durum crop will be much smaller than last year ’s, according to government estimates and comments from industry officials. The U.S. Department of Agriculture is forecasting 1.75 million acres, down 18 percent from last year. Douglas Opland, president of the U.S. Durum Growers Association, thinks it could be smaller than that based on conversations he has had with fellow board members. “We went around the table and asked, and everybody is going to seed less. That would give us kind of a concern. I mean, guys that are on the board are going to seed less. That’s a big concern,” he said. Opland has heard the same thing from growers he talked to at winter farm shows. They’re either going to seed less durum or none at all. Durum is being squeezed out of traditional growing regions such as North Dakota by corn, soybeans and canola. Durum was a critically important crop in the region when Opland started farming with his father near Minot, N.D. “That’s all he raised, was durum. That’s all I knew,” Opland said. These days, Opland grows corn, soybeans, sunflowers, canola, wheat and barley. He planted 500 acres of durum last year and still has a lot of it sitting in the bin because of disappointing prices. “I don’t know if I’m going to seed any this year, other than just for new seed for next year. It’s not going to be too many acres,” he said. The only saving grace for durum is that its crop insurance price is about $1 per bu. higher than spring wheat, so if it remains dry in western North

He expects China to be an active buyer of Brazilian soybeans because they will be far cheaper than China’s support price, which is more than $20 per bushel. U.S. soybean export sales are on pace to hit the USDA’s target by midApril for the marketing year that ends Aug. 31, another sign of strong Chinese demand. Suderman puts more faith in the

Dakota, growers may plant durum for crop insurance reasons. Erica Olson, marketing specialist with the North Dakota Wheat Commission, said durum is having a tough time competing. U.S. durum prices are similar to spring wheat. There are slight premiums now and then, but nowhere near the 60 cents to $1 per bushel that growers need to plant a crop that is riskier to grow than wheat. Millers have ample supplies and exports have been lackluster in 2012-13 because of slumping demand from North Africa. Most analysts thought U.S. plantings would remain around the 2.1 million acre range, but O lson wasn’t surprised by the USDA’s estimate. “For our state alone, it will be dropped about 200,000 acres, and that was definitely in line with what we were expecting,” she said. It means a smaller U.S. harvest, considering desert durum in Arizona and California is down about 90,000 acres.

Olson was surprised by Statistics Canada’s forecast for 4.7 million acres of Canadian durum, which would be slightly more than last year. Another bearish factor to consider is the North African harvest, which starts this month. A USDA report says crop conditions in the cereal growing region of Northwest Africa are good despite a dry start to the crop year. Widespread rain arrived during the critical green-up stage of crop development in mid-March. High vegetation index values have been recorded in Morocco, the largest grain producer in North Africa, which is often a sign of a “healthy and vigorous crop.” World Weather Inc. calls the growing conditions in North Africa “nearly ideal.” A good North African crop would limit export demand for the upcoming North American durum crop. Olson said Europe’s crop is also looking fairly good and should be similar to last year.

USDA numbers than what traders or other government agencies believe. The USDA tends to be on the conservative side with its estimates. “I’m still sticking with USDA numbers at this point,” he said. The one wrinkle is the news of another outbreak of bird flu in China. If it became as serious as the 2003 SARS epidemic, it could result in a slowdown of the Chinese economy,

fewer people eating pork and fewer pigs eating soybeans. Growth in Chinese gross domestic product fell by two percentage points in the second quarter of 2003 due to the SARS outbreak, according to a Business Insider report. “There was so much fear, they just told everyone to stay home. The economy came to a standstill for a period of time,” said Suderman.

t’s an old tool that’s bent and scratched up, worn from long use and much weaker than when it was new and sound. However, many analysts say the Chicago oat futures contract is still a usable tool for hedging farmers’ oat prices, even if it feels like it might soon break. That’s good news for those who believe in open market, publicly visible prices and the idea of price transparency. However, it’s going to become tougher to get farmers to use oat futures if they continue to suffer the sort of gut-wrenching volatility — in often nonsensical ways — that has afflicted the contract in recent years. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s recent supply and demand report hammered down oat futures, giving the contract a couple of limitdown days, even though cash market prices barely budged. The barely budging bit makes sense because oats are in short supply and will probably be in even shorter supply next year. The futures sell-off was mostly due to investment funds bailing out of oat futures as fast as they were bailing out of corn futures. The leaping away from corn made sense because the USDA found more old crop corn stocks than anyone expected, suggesting demand has slumped. That certainly weakens the outlook for corn, and because oats roughly track corn, it makes sense that oat futures would weaken, too. Oats are already priced at a premium to corn relative to their usual relationship, so weakness in corn was likely to draw down oat prices somewhat.

However, the size of the sell-off — a cataclysmic short-term slump — was all about the funds bailing, a number of analysts told me. The funds’ share of positions is never completely dominant in gigantic commodities such as corn, but in oats it can completely dominate trade. The funds recently had 25 percent of open interest. Prices can slump when they all bail, and that’s the main story with what happened to oat prices postUSDA. A similar event happened a year ago, when the funds for their mysterious reasons decided to bail on oats. Funds started to sell, triggering other funds to sell and it became a cascade of slumping oat futures prices. Nothing fundamentally had changed, but farmers with oat futures positions witnessed a massive sell-off and a wild dose of volatility, something that doesn’t do much to instill confidence. All that might make a farmer think oat futures are too dangerous to use to hedge new crop prices, but analysts told me they don’t think that’s correct. True, oat futures can show wild gyrations and go on stomach-churning rides in the short term, but over the long term, they appear to be a good measure of future crop prices, especially new crop prices. A look at the charts seems to bear that out. There are sometimes wide deviations between corn and oats in the short term, but oats futures contracts track corn pretty well over the course of a year. And some deviation should happen because oats aren’t corn and both supply and demand factors in the oat market don’t always reflect what’s going on with corn supply and demand. Most farmers are flat-price oat sellers. They don’t bother with futures anyway. They just want to know what they’re going to be paid and base their budgets on that. However, for those who want to use futures as a hedge for oat prices, the good news is that the old, scraped, bent and weakened oat futures contract still seems to work. And while it does, all of us who watch the market can see a public price for oats and accept that there is some real world basis for the prices farmers are offered.

Rainfall a mixed bag for American growers Fieldwork delayed | Light rains are welcomed in drought-stricken areas but will slow U.S. corn planters CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — Widespread rainfall in the U.S. Midwest and Plains this week will add valuable soil moisture in drought-stricken areas but also stall spring fieldwork and prevent early corn seeding, an agricultural meteorologist said April 8. “It’s an active storm system leaving 0.2 to 0.6 inch (five to 15 millimetres) of rain Monday (April 8) and one to two inches (25 to 50 mm) or more Tuesday (April 9) through Thursday (April 11) in most of the Midwest,”

said John Dee, meteorologist for Global Weather Monitoring. Dee said lighter rains of roughly six mm could be expected in the driest areas of southwestern Kansas and the Oklahoma and Texas panhandles. “The precipitation will be in the form of snow in the Dakotas and western Nebraska, with six to 12 inches (15 to 30 centimetres) possible,” he said. Another round of wet weather is expected in the crop region early next

week, further slowing corn plantings, according to Dee. A cool spring in the U.S. Midwest has farmers antsy for soil to warm up before rolling their big corn planters across fields to seed what is expected to be the largest area of the country’s biggest crop since 1936. This week marks the first official days farmers can begin planting corn in many spots across the upper Midwest, according to crop insurance policies that cover costs if replanting is necessary in the

event of a flood or killing frost. Farmers are hoping for a better season than last year, when their yields were the smallest in 17 years because of the worst drought since the Dust Bowl years of the 1930s. Drought conditions are retreating slowly in the U.S. Plains, according to a report issued April 4 by a consortium of state and federal climatologists. MDA Weather Services meteorologist Don Keeney said that at the end of March, 150 to 200 mm of rain

were needed to bring soil moisture levels back to normal in much of Nebraska and a corner of northeastern Kansas. Keeney said 50 to 100 mm were needed in the rest of the central Plains and western Iowa.

CME offering renewable identification numbers NEW YORK, New York (Reuters) — Commodities rebounded broadly April 8 for the first time in a week, with grains, metals and oil prices rising on technical buying and hopes for growing demand. Wheat, along with gasoline, cocoa and sugar were among the biggest gainers. Each rose about two percent or more. Soybeans gained about one percent, rebounding from a ninemonth low. The Thomson Reuters-Jefferies CRB index, the commodities bellwether that tracks 19 markets, rose 0.3 percent with more than a dozen of its components settling in the positive territory. Soybean futures on the Chicago Board of Trade snapped losses from three straight sessions as the market’s front-month contract, May, closed up 16 1/4 cents at $13.78 a bushel. Traders said soybeans were buoyed by technical buying and worries that delays in the South American harvest will further slow delivery of supplies from Argentina and Brazil. May wheat settled up 13 1/2 cents at $7.12 1/2 a bu. on strong global demand for U.S. supplies, as well as concerns about potential damage to the developing crop in the U.S. Plains from forecasts for a turn to colder weather.

Gold slipped more than half a percent, losing the safe-haven edge that pushed it higher during last week’s rout across commodities. “We are going to hold here until that next catalyst comes,” Phillip

Arabica coffee fell three percent to a near 33 month low reached three weeks ago on expectations of an abundant off-year crop in top producing nation Brazil.

NEW YORK, N.Y. (Reuters) — CME Group Inc. plans to launch a suite of contracts to trade renewable identification numbers in May, including RINs for biodiesel and ethanol. RINs are 38-digit numbers generated for each gallon of ethanol or other renewable fuel produced in the United States. Refiners, importers and other “obligated parties” are required by the U.S. Renewable Fuel Standard program to blend the renewable fuels into finished gasoline and other products. Ethanol credits have come under the focus of oil markets in recent weeks, following a steep run up in prices, which refiners say has helped give a small boost to the price of gasoline. They can present the RIN number to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for each gallon blended as proof of compliance. However, if they fall short, they must buy RINs on the open market, where prices have recently surged. Market players said the move to an exchange contract could bring greater transparency to the RINs market. Ethanol credits are currently traded through individual deals agreed between buyers and sellers, some of which go through brokers. “This will bring a lot more speculation and attention to the market,” said Shashi Menon, a partner with EcoEngineers, which offers a quality assurance program for RIN marketers. “It will be easier for people to hedge

NON-FED STEADY

HOGS STEADY

The anticipated spring fed rally continues to elude cattle feeders, and the beef market chain remains disappointingly sluggish. Commodity investors appear unwilling to commit to a long position, and vacillating cattle futures last week were not price supportive. Fed steers averaged $112.89, down 89 cents from the previous week. Heifers averaged $113.34, up 45 cents. Live trade was limited and the bulk of sales were dressed at $188$190.50 per hundredweight f.o.b. the feedlot. Weight breaks-discounts were also reported on dressed bids last week. The Alberta cash to futures basis has seen little change over the last six weeks and continues wide at -16.08. However, it still fails to encourage additional American packer interest. An increased volume of calves was offered on last week’s show list. Modest sale volumes of 8,327 head were two percent larger than the previous week. Western Canadian fed slaughter for the short week ending March 30 totalled 26,439 head, down 33 percent from the previous week. Year-to-date volumes of 375,706 head were 12 percent lower than a year ago. Canadian fed cattle exports to the United States for the week ending March 23 were five percent smaller than the previous week at 11,673 head. Year to date fed exports compared to the same week a year ago were one percent smaller at 95,485. Moderate carryover will be rolled over into this week, but the show list should remain manageable. Looming weight discounts are expected to prompt light trade for next week, but prices will need to firm higher to encourage active trade.

Facing seasonally tighter non-fed volumes, packers have been able to draw upon captive-warehoused inventories. Despite narrowing front end supplies, procurement remained disciplined because non-fed prices trended mostly sideways. D1, D2 cows averaged $77.60 for the week, while D3s averaged $69.86. Rail grade cows were $147-$152 delivered. Butcher bull prices have been export driven because year-to-date Canadian bull slaughter is running 88 percent lower than 2012. Canadian non-fed exports to the U.S. for the week ending March 23 totalled 6,978, down six percent from the previous week but are 95 percent larger than the same week last year. Non-fed price highs for this year have likely yet to be established. It should be noted that D1, D2 cow prices have set highs from mid-April to mid-May for six of the last seven years.

Hog prices were steady through the period, although some traders are predicting packers will lower bids next week and decrease slaughter numbers this week as supplies tighten and they look to improve margins. Iowa-southern Minnesota cash hogs delivered to plants were $59.50 per hundredweight April 5, up from $56-$56.50 US the previous week. The U.S. pork carcass cut-out value was $77.11, down from $77.36 per cwt. the previous week. U.S. federal slaughter to April 6 was estimated at 2.088 million, down from 2.184 million March 30.

SPOT FEEDER RALLY Commercial and non-commercial investors sold off funds in the corn complex, reacting to a bearish grain stocks report published by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. May 2013 corn contract closed at the lowest levels since June 2012, violating the trading range. Weaker corn prices paved the way for a 350 point rally in the spot feeder contract last week.

hrough much of the winter, most analysts expected western Canadian farmers would seed less canola and more wheat this spring. Wheat prices had been strong and many farmers were thinking that they had pushed their canola rotations too hard, creating disease problems. But spring wheat prices have been falling more than canola in recent weeks, and that might alter the equation. In its March 19 outlook, Agriculture Canada expected canola area would slip about one percent to 21.25 million acres, down from 21.53 million in 2012. It saw wheat area, excluding durum, rising seven percent to 20.51 million acres. Brenda Tjaden Lepp of FarmLink

Marketing forecast in mid-March that spring wheat area would rise and canola area decline to 20 million acres. However, November canola futures fell about three percent from Feb. 1 to April 5 while Minneapolis December spring wheat fell 9.5 percent. Wheat prices suffered as the moisture situation in the U.S. Plains and Midwest improved and March 1 corn stocks turned out larger than expected. Meanwhile, canola values have been supported by several factors. Most analysts still expect canola stocks to be razor thin at the end of the crop year, and a large canola crop will be needed to meet the rising demand of the domestic crushing industry as well as export demand. What is shaping up to be another late and wet seeding season in Saskatchewan and Manitoba will also influence farmers as they make their final seeding plans. Will rotation concerns still reduce canola acres this spring if wheat prices continue to fall while canola prices hold on, or will the drive for profit win out?

ALFALFA | GENETICALLY MODIFIED ACCEPTANCE

CRAIG’S VIEW

Industry, not government must decide on GM alfalfa

ost producers probably wouldn’t notice much difference in the short term if genetically modified alfalfa is grown in Eastern Canada. Most use alfalfa to feed cattle on their own farms. The danger of market loss is not a direct concern. However, that doesn’t mean we can afford to overlook the potential problems. We need to assess the risks and weigh the possible rewards. On the risk side, alfalfa is grown on almost 30 percent of cropland in Canada. The perennial is used mainly for feed and in crop rotations to improve soil fertility. Organic growers find it particularly useful for its ability to return nitrogen to the soil, while enabling them to avoid the use of synthetic fertilizers. Organic growers would be forced to give it up if Roundup Ready alfalfa escaped into the broader environment, which is almost inevitable given enough time. As well, some producers, particularly in the West, grow alfalfa seed or produce compressed hay or pellets for export. Those markets could be adversely affected by the release and unintentional spread of GM varieties. So are the rewards worth this? That’s something best left for growers themselves to answer, and their opinion appears to be a resounding “no.” Unlike the introductions of GM soybeans, canola and corn, which were widely accepted by their respective industries, few in the alfalfa industry are backing the plan for release of this crop. Forage Genetics International plans to release GM alfalfa only in Eastern Canada. It has already been approved for use by the federal government and is also approved in the United States. A plan is in place to institute proper management practices to minimize the risk of the GM crop spreading to unwanted areas, but spread is generally considered to be inevitable over time. The reward side of the equation does not yet show enough gains to compensate for these risks.

If it were to be decided based purely on science, as is rightfully the preferred method for making these decisions, then GM alfalfa is good to go. There is no strong evidence that GM products are harmful despite being in use for almost 20 years. However, the alfalfa case is more akin to the debates over GM wheat that occurred a few years ago. While no GM wheat has ever been commercialized, the wheat industry immediately protested when discussions started about GM varieties, fearing a loss of markets by buyers in foreign countries whose consumers aren’t accepting of GM technology. And if the industry itself sees no major benefit, then why continue? In wheat’s case, life science companies backed off. In normal circumstances, it would be a matter of letting the market decide. If growers don’t want it, then they won’t buy it. But this particular genie could have wide-reaching effects if let out of the bottle. That’s why it must have wide reaching approval before doing so. Conventional alfalfa is already a strong competitor against weeds, and the ability to spray it with glyphosate is not a normal practice, but there may be yield gains in doing so. However, that benefit may not be enough. Future GM alfalfa varieties may have something more to offer, such as low lignin types that aid digestibility and tannin alfalfa that has more efficient protein use and is low or non-bloating. Each should be evaluated on its own merits. For now, though, it is not the place of government to step in with regulations. An ill-advised attempt to introduce a market acceptance test for new varieties was rejected by Parliament last year. Government approval or rejection of new varieties must continue to be based on science. The industry itself must take the lead and send a loud and clear message about the direction it wants to take. If farmers are against it, the rest of the industry should respect those wishes.

POLITICS | LIBERAL LEADERSHIP

Trudeau the Second has tough road ahead, but don’t count him out NATIONAL VIEW

BARRY WILSON

n April 15, prime minister Stephen Harper will face off for the first time with new Liberal leader Justin Trudeau, elected the day before at a party coronation in Ottawa. Remarkably, the charismatic 41-year-old son of a former Liberal icon will be the fifth Liberal leader that Harper will have faced across the floor of the House of Commons dur-

ing his decade as party leader, the last seven as prime minister. It is a remarkable statistic. During its long and illustrious history as the natural governing party of Canada, the Liberals ruled the country for more than 70 percent of the time between 1896 (Laurier) and 2006 (Martin). During its full history, the party has had 13 leaders. Harper has faced almost 40 percent of those leaders, less a comment on him and more a comment on the turmoil that has consumed the Liberal party in recent years. For reporters, the last three decades of blood feuds in the Liberal family have been delicious: civil war, middle-of-the-night rebellions and the hollowing out of the party machine as key players backed the wrong horse and were expelled or sidelined.

So now, the once-great Liberal party is a shell of itself, for the first time the third party in the House of Commons, third in fundraising, without a significant rural base or a base outside Atlantic Canada, Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver. It is a sorry sight. Or was, as Trudeau’s supporters would say. He is reviving party fundraising, drawing thousands of supporters, boosting the party in the polls, ending the old civil wars and presenting Harper with his first serious challenge in almost a decade. Well, maybe, but don’t count on it. In 2006, the Liberals picked a tough anti-Quebec separatism environmentalist, Stéphane Dion, who proved no match for the Conservative attack machine.

Next came intellectual, author and media friendly Michael Ignatieff, who would send the Visigoth Conservatives back to their caves in the hills. He led the party to its worst defeat in history in 2011 and scurried back to academia. Now comes Trudeau, a political scrapper who is thin on political accomplishment but who twice has won a former poor immigrant riding in Montreal despite his millionaire status. And he has been under-estimated in the past, particularly in the boxing ring, where he surprised many by beating the snuff out of Conservative senator and Indian reserve street scrapper Patrick Brazeau in a charity match last year. Trudeau has almost three years before the next election in 2015 to show his organizational skills and

ability to translate star appeal into political commitment. In truth, with his solid base, Harper probably has less to worry about than NDP leader Thomas Mulcair, trying to hold together a fragile and unexpected coalition that combines English Canadian environmentalists and progressives with a huge Quebec caucus of rookies and in many cases Quebec nationalists. The race next time could well be for second place, and Mulcair has the most to lose. Meanwhile, 45 years ago last week, another charismatic Trudeau with little political experience and fluffy policy proposals squeaked into the Liberal leadership and managed to become the third longest-serving prime minister at 16 years. Don’t count the Trudeaus out.

CFA takes collaborative approach to ag

Lack of investor information raises questions

BY RON BONNETT

he Canadian Federation of Agriculture is often accused of being a supply-managed organization. Others argue we place too much emphasis on trade, while some question if our focus is too Central Canada, western grain or remote rural-centric. I proudly answer an emphatic yes to all of the above. The CFA is supportive and proud of all orderly marketing tools, including supply management, as well as the role they play in securing producer returns. It is also focused on exports, proud of the high quality products that Canada sells internationally through its grain, oilseed, sugar beet, horticulture and livestock members, either directly or within each of our provincial general farm organizations. And yes, CFA is focused on the issues of Central Canada, Western Canada, Eastern Canada and the remote areas between. The CFA is Canada’s largest national general farm organization. As such, we appreciate that not every issue will affect everyone at CFA directly or equally. The organization was formed in 1935 to provide a strong, collective voice for farmers, work for the betterment of all farmers and improve the socio-economic situation of all farmers. That objective has not changed 78 years later. It is obtained through a variety of initiatives on a broad spectrum of files that have a direct impact to the bottom line of our members and every Canadian farmer.

These include work not just on trade, which is key, but on other areas that directly affect farmers, such as the own-use pesticide program, species at risk, business risk management tools, crop insurance, taxation, water use, climate change, regulatory reform, food safety and farm safety. Our objective is to ensure the sector as a whole is profitable and viable, not just today but for the long term. We at CFA strive to make that happen not on the backs or expense of others

in the industry, but collectively and by working in partnership along the entire food supply chain. We do it by working with not only Agriculture Canada, but with Health Canada, Environment Canada, the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and Industry Canada. Our provincial members help strengthen that approach by working with their respective provincial ministries to bring a common approach

to agriculture in this country. So, if working for the betterment of the entire agrifood sector is a fault, if understanding the complex interrelationships between commodities, sectors and regions is wrong, then we are guilty and happily so. But at the CFA, we will not be convinced that alone you can be stronger than working together. Ron Bonnett is president of the CFA and a cow-calf operator.

WEATHER | BE PREPARED

Delayed spring contingency plan might be wise HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

s this late spring a disaster in the making or simply a springtime blip that will be overshadowed by other growing season events? There’s little doubt that we’re looking at a late start to seeding over most, if not all, of Western Canada. Southern Alberta and the extreme southwestern corner of Saskatchewan have little snow, but the rest of the prairie region is white. Crocuses are often pushing out of the prairie by mid-April. This year, they’re still sleeping under a blanket of snow. Temperatures have remained far below normal. The sun has some

power and the snow pack has settled, but breakup won’t be until the last couple weeks of April at the earliest for most regions. A slow melt is desirable to avoid flooding, but the melt to date has been minimal. As we move later into the spring, there’s an increasing probability of temperatures that will produce rapid melting. Spring farm auctions are looking like snowy and mucky affairs. Sale season has gradually moved earlier to accommodate a large number of auctions before everyone is busy in the field. This spring, lots of equipment for the early sales will need to be extricated from snow banks. Air drills in particular tend to become buried. Cow-calf producers have been feeding for a long time. Snow came early and has stayed late. New grass is still some time away. Hay supplies that seemed abundant are starting to dwindle. How much will seeding be delayed? Goodness knows, but for most producers the starting date will likely be

at least one to two weeks later than normal. This assumes a move to seasonal temperatures and no major precipitation events. By itself, getting into the field one or two weeks late wouldn’t be a disaster. With good weather, seeding might still be completed in a timely manner. However, all bets are off if the weather doesn’t co-operate. How much moisture will soak into the ground? How much flooding will there be? How much rain and/or snow will be added to the water from the snow melt? We can’t control the weather, and early weather concerns often prove to be overblown. Still, it may be time to start making contingency plans. Is there a friend, relative, retired farmer or high school student that could provide a bit of extra labour? Any time savings can add up, even if it’s just someone who can run for fuel or help move equipment. If you’ve planned to grow longer season crops, do you have alternates if seeding runs late? Will seed be available if you need it?

Product shortages could be more common with a condensed seeding season. Getting seed, fertilizer, herbicides, seed treatments and inoculants through the distribution network on time is always a logistical challenge. This spring, having the products you need on the farm could be particularly valuable. Energy market analysts warn that Western Canada’s diesel supply has not kept up with consumption. Spot shortages are expected to occur with increased frequency. Unfortunately, the infrastructure is not designed to bring diesel fuel into the region when there are problems. Spot shortages have occurred in the past, but they’ve never hit in the midst of seeding or harvest. Perhaps more on-farm fuel storage would be a good insurance policy. Be as ready as you can to hit the field as early as you can. And hope the weather starts co-operating. Kevin Hursh is an agricultural journalist, consultant and farmer.

mmigration and foreign investment are good for the economy. With that said, let us nevertheless sprinkle news of an enormous rural development with a little bit of salt. Just south of Saskatoon at Dundurn, Sask., they are expecting a company called Brightenview Development International to build a colossal mall covering 6.4 million sq. feet. It will not be a regular mall, but one crammed with wholesale stores catering to, for example, the home renovation and construction industry. Brightenview has connections in China and intends to bring Chinese suppliers here to serve the North American market. It’s a good idea in theory, but will it work in rural Canada? I love Dundurn and area (family and recreational reasons), but it’s not exactly mega-retailer central. Will North American buyers for Home Depot hop planes to Saskatoon, take the dedicated shuttle to Dundurn and buy millions of dollars worth of product? I guess it’s conceivable, but boy, it stretches the imagination. Brightenview has said it has big Canadian investors and plenty of connections in China, which is all good, although none of these have been named. However, if you go to the company’s website and click on “projects,” the Dundurn mall is the one and only, so there is no visible track record of development. Rural Canada has had many experiences with mega-projects that tax a community’s or municipality’s resources and patience, with road building, water provision, extra traffic, infrastructure issues — you name it — and then yield little or nothing. In this case, I’m not saying Brightenview’s view of the future is wrong or impossible, even if the big numbers seem a bit incredible; but it’s always awful to see community dreams created and then shattered when such projects don’t work out.

Prime minister Steven Harper’s reaction to the untimely death of Venezuela’s popular leader, Hugo Chavez, is callous and insensitive, to say the least. Should one have seen Harper turning cartwheels in the halls of 24 Sussex Drive, it would be no great surprise. Harper’s statement, “I hope the people of Venezuela can now build for themselves a better, brighter future based on the principles of freedom, democracy, the rule of law and respect for human rights,” barely contains his jubilance on Chavez’s death.

This from a man who ignored the law countless times (CWB), prorogued Parliament and appointed lackey Conservative senators whenever it suited his needs. Chavez was elected by the people of Venezuela, and in his 14 years in power used his country’s lucrative oil wealth on social programs such as state-run food markets, new public housing, free health clinics and education programs. Instead of praising Chavez’s accomplishments, Harper chose to ignore them. On the other hand, just a week previous, Harper had nothing but glowing praise for Joseph Ratzinger (Pope Benedict), who for years harboured, protected and condoned pedophile priests who had molested

thousands of children in their care. Figure that one out. Joyce Neufeld, Waldeck, Sask.

ANNEXATION SICKENING To the Editor: As a current University of Alberta agriculture student, the news of the annexation of prime agricultural land by the city of Edmonton for industrial and residential uses sickens me. While a dollar figure of billions can be placed on the expansion of the city, the detrimental effects of such

INDUSTRY: FARMING | TIRE: GOODYEAR DYNA TORQUE RADIALS

an annex as this one proposed is undefinable for young active members in the agriculture industry such as myself. Mayor (Stephen) Mandel states that annexing green fields doesn’t create such a conflict and is the more proper way of expanding without inflicting upon neighbours. I welcome Mr. Mandel to express this thought to a class of agriculture students, young men and women with a passion for agriculture, sustainability and environmental conservation. They realize the true everlasting value within this rich black soil, its ability to grow crops, feed livestock, and filter pollutants from entering water systems to name but a few. While this annexation of such prime agricultural land may produce lush green front lawns and contribute to the neighbourly battle within these newly developed residential and industrial areas, it will also negatively affect agriculture and the environment alike. Perhaps it’s time that the city starts to build up, not out, higher, not wider. I understand that from the city’s perspective that it’s more cost effective and makes economic sense to build out onto lands that are relatively cheap and easy to develop. Yet this phenomenon, known as urban sprawl, is unsustainable and a type of plague for those who love agriculture and the environment. Soil is considered a true gift for those who farm it, and once these lands are removed from agricultural production, the benefits to the farmer, our province and the environment will be lost forever.

You know that disgusting thing they call dockage? Just look on your last elevator receipt from your beautiful wheat crop. It’ll say EWW! I’m 24 and only been farming for 15 years, so seeing your hard work get flushed down the toilet to the elevator is disgusting. The elevators have unchecked control now that the wheat board is gone. Last month we hauled in 10,000 bushels of that golden wheat and it was kind of unclear when the auditor was in for one week and said, “yup, it’s No. 1,” but the week after when he’s gone it’s back to No. 2, even though it was the same crop from the same bin. The elevator then takes this degraded dirty wheat, screens and blends it, and what do you know they are loading 100 cars of No. 1 wheat with minimal dockage because they sold those as screenings. It’s an atrocity. Being only a first generation farm, that’s highway robbery as land needs to be paid for. As globalization increases and corporate companies like grain terminals squeeze their bottom line, so too do they squeeze that family farm just trying to survive. Protein and weight are the only things that matter when it gets processed, so why rob farmers of their grade? From now on we will invest in an indent to separate and sell our own disgusting dockage, and send sam-

OPINION ples to the grain commission so that the next time we open our back gate on the tandem, we know we are getting the best possible price. Nowadays, it is important to diversify to survive. The power of the elevators will dig that dark hole which farmers work so hard to fill. Brad Van Hecke, Morinville, Alta.

REDUCE ORGANIC COSTS To the Editor: I am writing in response to the article titled, “Recession took toll on organic profitability” (WP March 7). I want to begin by stating that I support organic farmers and try to eat organically as much as possible. However, as a broke student struggling through university, purchasing

organic food is often financially difficult. I am not at all surprised that profits in the organic market fell drastically from the recession in 2009, as the prices for organic produce and meat are often double the prices of the same conventionally farmed goods. It is mentioned in the article that organic farmers have costs associated with certification and equipment, but this is not a fair comparison to the costs of herbicides and fertilizers paid by conventional farmers, so I am left wondering why the prices vary so significantly. I am well aware that the risk of farming organically is much higher than that of conventional farming, but that risk should not be carried onto the consumers. If the high risk of organic farming was not reflected in the price of the goods, the organic market might not have incurred such a financial decline during the recession.

Periods of recession and growth will continue in the future and if organic farmers want long-term financial stability, they should work with the suppliers in reducing price swings and overall costs to consumers. Melissa Gelineau, Edmonton, Alta.

CROWN PRIVATIZATION To the Editor: To ensure his party’s election, Saskatchewan premier Brad Wall promised not to privatize the crowns. Wall’s promise belies his government’s actions. While keeping its preference for privatization to itself, his government set up schemes to weaken the crowns. The Sask. First policy saw (environment minister Ken) Chevel-

THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | APRIL 11, 2013

dayoff restrict crown operations, forcing them to divest out-of-province profitable assets while discouraging them from competing with private firms in Saskatchewan. Profitable Direct West Canada, Hospitality Network, Agdealer and Navigata were sold at fire sale prices while residential services were privately contracted. People, owners of the crowns, weren’t consulted. Only high-risk, low return projects were left. Wall’s government engineered a losing plan for our crowns. The Saskatoon StarPhoenix called the Sask. First policy “ideologically driven and harmful to the citizens.” With long-term viability at risk, (columnist) Murray Mandryk wondered if the Sask. First policy would result in “barely profitable entities ripe for privatization.” Saskatchewan folk need remember how Gary Filmon’s 1990s Manitoba

Tory government promised never to privatize the crowns and how in 1996 he sold Manitoba’s Telephone System with no public consultation. Lucrative MTS assets were turned over to the private sector, telemarketing services contracted out and the co-axial cable system sold for 20 percent of value. Wall’s government’s raiding of crown dividends to balance government’s accounts reduces the crowns’ investments in infrastructure and innovation. Ron Styles, chief executive officer for SaskTel, explains that a loss of 90 percent of the crown’s profits could raise SaskTel’s debt-toequity ratio. Wall could then use this as leverage to privatize the crowns. Shareholders would profit and Saskatchewan people would lose services. Joan Bell, Saskatoon, Sask.

Creativity a gift to celebrate SPIRITUAL VIGNETTES

JOYCE SASSE

he Book of Genesis opens with “in the beginning God created” and goes on to talk about how each human is infused with God’s spirit, including the spirit of creativity. Why, then, are so many individuals and institutions reluctant to accept creative changes as gifts from God? When the land shows deterioration, main street resembles a ghost town or churches bleed members, do we look on these situations as signs of gloom or do we turn to the creative among us and seek the opportunities they might suggest? I’ve watched small communities fight regional solutions for schools and recreational and health-care facilities. However, fresh ways of thinking and doing took root when educators and medical folks began working on a regional base to advocate for the unique gifts and needs their rural communities offered. Once church members begin to expect changes, it is as if new blood is poured into their veins. One young woman, whose congregation is trying to find alternative ways to do ministry, said, “it’s not the destination but the journey that is important”. Matthew Fox has written, “I don’t know of any area of human potential that is more important than creativity if we are to be a sustainable species again.” When we move ahead with courage, with trust in the not-yet-proven, when we move forward with discipline and hard work — this is an important point of intersection between the human and divine. In so doing, we become fruitful. For affirmation, listen to the stories of Jesus. Through the centuries, each story confronts our imagination and brings about transformation. Joyce Sasse writes for the Canadian Rural Church Network at www.canadian ruralchurch.net.

Province fails to back hog program Stabilization program | Manitoba Pork Council says the decision will prompt more producers to leave BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

T h e Ma n i t o b a g ov e r n m e nt ’s refusal to embrace a stabilization program for hog producers will cause a further exodus from the once booming provincial hog farming business, say industry leaders. They also warned that the province might permanently lose an entire class of hog farmer and see the industry become almost completely large scale and corporate owned. “It’s very possible that within five years all that could be left are the corporate and the Hutterite colonies,” said Perry Mohr, manager of the Hams Marketing Co-operative, in an interview. “All that’s left today are the corporate farms, the Hutterites and independent farmers who have both pigs and grain.” The Manitoba Pork Council, desperate to save Manitoba’s independent family farms but careful to avoid government subsidization or outright financial support, crafted a program that would have advanced money to farmers but have it paid back with interest. Farmers would be paid money from a provincially backed $75 million line of credit based on prices underneath a moving cost of production. The money would be repaid at a rate of $5 per head when farmers were making money again. Under

such a design, the program would be self-funded by farmers and not involve direct government payouts. Pork council officials say the provincial agriculture department seemed to believe the program was well-designed. As well, agriculture minister Ron Kostyshyn spoke positively about the proposed program a number of times, including during the Keystone Agricultural Producers convention in January. He said he expected to make an announcement soon. However, pork council officials said the agriculture department’s seeming support, always lukewarm, was not enough to get support from a government attempting to cut costs and reduce potential exposure. As well, the government said it wanted hog packers to take on most of the credit risk. “They said the packing plants should provide the bulk of the guarantees,” said pork council general manager Andrew Dickson. “That blew us away.” Dickson said he couldn’t understand how the government would expect private businesses such as the packers to extend credit to independent farmers, over whom they would have no control. “Viterra doesn’t loan money to grain farmers. Cargill doesn’t lend money to cattle producers. These companies aren’t banks,” said Dickson.

He said the government seemed unwilling to take on credit risk for the program, and officials said they thought they might lose all the money. “They felt they would actually have to spend the $75 million,” said Dickson. That view is echoed in a written response from Kostyshyn about the situation. “While the province continues to work with Manitoba Pork Council on possible solutions, their recent proposal is too much of a financial risk during these uncertain economic times,” said the statement. “With another flood on the way, any request for support above (existing safety net programs such as AgriStability and AgriInvest) must be critically reviewed.… Despite what some in the industry say, these programs have already provided hundreds of millions of dollars in support to the industry.” Kostyshyn said the province has supported waste water treatment facilities at packing plants and other infrastructure funding over the years. Mohr said many farmers stayed in production this year because summer hog prices looked profitable and they believed the loan program was likely to soon carry them across the present period of losses. However, China and Russia have since imposed ractopamine bans, cutting pig prices by about $20 per head.

And now the province’s refusal to support the stabilization program undermines any confidence that some had that they could survive until profitable times. Dickson said the impact of the provincial government’s refusal to establish the program will be an even greater slide in provincial hog production, which is undermining the viability of the second shift at the Maple Leaf Foods plant. “They’re short on pigs,” said Dickson. Mohr said farmers dedicated to standalone hog operations have left the business, unable to handle the profitability swings of recent years without stabilization programs such as the one just rejected. “The days of being a professional pig producer, where you were able to make a decent living from producing pigs and buying grain, are over,” said Mohr. Many farmers with cropland and pigs will be able to survive a little longer, but they too might back away from the industry and focus solely on grain if the price swings are too great. That would leave little but the Hutterite colonies and the directly owned corporate farms producing pigs in Western Canada. “ That ’s what Maple L eaf and O lymel were doing when they bought Puratone and Big Sky Farms: ensuring that they would continue to have pigs to put through their plants,” said Mohr.

Canada’s renewable fuel industry is expecting significant benefit from new government innovation money available under the Growing Forward 2 policy framework, says an industry leader. The new policy framework includes a federal-provincial AgriInnovation fund that will potentially make hundreds of millions of dollars available over five years to companies that apply for funding for product or process innovation projects. However, the industry also heard bad news in recent government financial announcements. The end of a capital grant program for construction of biodiesel production capacity announced in the March federal budget is a blow for the industry, Canadian Renewable Fuels Association president W. Scott Thurlow said. The government had signalled the end of the EcoAgriculture Biofuels Capital Initiative, but Thurlow said it comes prematurely for the biodiesel sector. He said that without production capacity, the sector is able to produce only one-third of the 600 million litres of product required under Canada’s biodiesel mandate policy. “It means Canadian canola is being shipped into the United States, refined and shipped back to meet the mandate,” Thurlow said. The CRFA had asked that government keep open the biodiesel side of the program but was refused. “We are not happy, but we understand government fiscal priorities and we will be talking about the next fiscal year.” Thurlow said the capital program helped expand ethanol production capacity. Now, the industry opportunity comes from a five-year government commitment to innovation in the new Growing Forward agreement. “The focus on innovation and the AgriInnovation side is something we very much support,” he said. “My members are very much interested in its potential.” AgriInvest is part of a science, innovation and adaptation fund that federal and provincial governments will finance over the next five years, making funds available for projects cofunded by industry. Ottawa projects almost $900 million in spending on the broad research, innovation and adoption file over the next three years. Thurlow said the fund could help the industry move to the next generation of cellulosic biofuel production by funding projects to advance the technology. Companies could also apply for project funding to increase product value from existing grain-based feedstocks that could return higher prices to farmers. “We know they (CRFA members) are looking at the Growing Forward framework as a vehicle for getting more value from that feed stock,” he said. “The fact is it is coming from federal and provincial, tied to industry investment. That’s the key.”

Minister of state for finance Ted Menzies told the House of Commons that the government continues to support credit unions and the work they do in small rural communities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The changes that are being made to credit unions across this country would eliminate an outdated tax subsidy,â&#x20AC;? he said. Liberal co-operatives critic Mauril BĂŠlanger accused the Conservatives of increasing the credit union tax rate by 36 percent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why are the Conservatives turning their backs on credit unions and caisse populaires?â&#x20AC;? he said in the Commons. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why kill the level playing field?â&#x20AC;? It is a question Rogers said credit

union officials are asking themselves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have asked for a meeting with the minister to find out the rationale for the change and if there is another way in future to deal with this issue,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have not heard back, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure there will be a meeting. This definitely puts more pressure on smaller credit unions and affects their ability to compete with banks.â&#x20AC;? In the budget, the government estimated it would increase the credit union system tax bill by $10 million this year and as it is phased in, up to $75 million by tax year 2017-18.

However, a Finance Canada assessment of the cost of foregone taxes in 2012 estimated the tax saving for credit unions at $47 million. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not sure where their numbers come from,â&#x20AC;? said Rogers. It is a complicated tax issue. Credit unions were taxed for the first time in 1972 after a massive tax reform effort. However, because they typically were small players trying to compete with much larger chartered banks, the Liberal government of the day gave credit unions access to the lower

small-business tax rate but also a lower rate than the big business tax rate over the small business income threshold. It was an acknowledgement that without the ability to raise money through share offerings, a lower tax rate would allow credit unions to accumulate capital through retained earnings. In the past 40 years, both the size of the credit union movement and the concentration of the banking industry have increased dramatically. The current rule announced by the

government would begin to phase out the tax break for any credit union with accumulated capital of $10 million, eliminating it once the capital pool reaches $15 million. Then the big business higher tax rate kicks in. Rogers said those capital levels in the modern financial world apply to â&#x20AC;&#x153;micro-credit unionsâ&#x20AC;? competing with bank branches whose systems have large capital reserves. He said 300 small communities are served only by credit unions because the banks do not see the financial benefit of a small branch.

JBS purchases XLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s U.S. plants BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Animal processor JBS USA has completed the purchase of two U.S. packing plants formerly owned by XL Foods. In an April 4 news release, JBS confirmed purchase of a beef packing plant in Omaha, Nebraska, and another plant in Nampa, Idaho. The purchase was finalized April 8. Brian Perillat of Canfax said the deal will not have much effect on the Canadian industry or cattle shipping, but â&#x20AC;&#x153;it puts an end to the Nilsson era in the packing sector.â&#x20AC;? Nilsson Brothers owned XL Foods, including the large packing plant in Brooks, Alta., that was the source of E. coli contamination in beef last fall. Temporary closure of the plant by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, and losses resulting from that, prompted sale of the plant to JBS Canada in January. JBS also had the option of buying XLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s U.S. assets, which it has now done. The purchase completes the agreement between XL and JBS that was originally announced Oct. 17. The plant in Nampa, with a capacity of 1,100 head per day, has been idle for months and is not likely to reopen. The plant in Omaha, also with a capacity of 1,100 head, handles mostly cows. JBS is the largest animal processing company in the world. Its American and Canadian operations are subsidiaries of Brazil-based JBS SA.

Canadian agriculture reliant on public support

Report calls for action on soil carbon levels in Ont.

Ag Canada report | More than one-quarter of agriculture GDP linked to government dollars BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Canadians continue to spend less of their income on food than consumers in many other countries, including the United States, says a recent Agriculture Canada study. And public or consumer subsidies to the agricultural sector are lower than they have been in recent years, in large part because of higher commodity prices but also because of a reduced calculation of the amount of support dairy farmers receive due to rising world dairy prices that brought Canadian prices closer to world levels.

In a snapshot of the agriculture and food industry in 2011, the department’s overview of the sector showed an industry growing and diversifying but also still heavily dependent on public support despite recent cuts. “Total government, federal and provincial, support to the agriculture and agri-food sector is estimated to have increased slightly to $7.5 billion in 2011-12,” said the report. “This represented 26.7 percent of agriculture gross domestic product.” It said program payments represented more than one-third of the support, followed by research and inspection.

The department said the estimate of the value of government or consumer subsidy to farm receipts in 2011 was 14 percent in 2011 compared to 19 percent in Europe and eight percent in the U.S. Under international rules, the difference between a “world price” for supply managed products and the Canadian price fixed under supply management rules is considered a “consumer subsidy” that is added to “producer subsidy equivalent.” The report noted that the European Union and the U.S. have both moved away from regulated farm supports and more toward direct farm subsidies.

It said relative government support for farmers is highest in Manitoba, Quebec and Nova Scotia, and the federal portion of that support is highest in British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Canadians assigned on average 9.2 percent of personal spending on food products. “Canadian households in all income classes allocated smaller shares of their budgets to food than did U.S. households,” said the report. In 1991, the average portion of the household budget spent on food was more than 11 percent.

Ontario’s environmental commission is warning that the province risks falling behind other jurisdictions in its attempt to increase soil carbon levels because it is too cautious. In a recently published report based on roundtable discussions last year, commissioner Gord Miller said the province appears to be bogging down in deciding what level of carbon pricing and incentive programs are appropriate to encourage proper soil management. He said the problem may be that Ontario is looking for policy perfection rather than something that will help. “On the other hand, in Alberta they appear to be going ahead with their less-than-perfect system and finding out what works and what doesn’t,” said the report. “It has forced them to tackle some questions and get some answers. Their level of resolution is clearly higher than ours.” While Ontario continues to worry about which policies are the best option, “they have simply gone ahead and found out,” said Miller. “Wisdom is the result of the accumulation of a lifetime of mistakes.”

Their level of resolution is clearly higher than ours.

ONTARIO ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION

Part of the discussion at a daylong session with academics, soil carbon experts and farmers focused on designing proper programs and finding the cash to pay for the necessary carbon credits and incentives. During the session, Ontario Federation of Agriculture vice-president Don McCabe said emissions from Canadian agriculture are 10 percent of the Canadian climate change problem but could be “20 percent of the solution” with good policy to encourage farmers to change their carbon management ways. The farm leader said Ontario action is necessary and overdue, but action on climate change must be tackled globally. “The federal government has to stop ducking its responsibilities.” McCabe has attended international climate talks as an observer and watched talks bog down over a lack of agreement on setting greenhouse gas emission targets and how to achieve them. In recent years, environmentalists have labeled the Canadian government as a significant part of the problem. Miller said that he complained in his annual report last year about slow progress in tackling environmental issues. “The gist of its message was that in Ontario we do a lot of talking about things and even planning of things, but we don’t do anything,” he said.

AGRICULTURE CANADA | BUDGET CUTS

Ag Canada ‘reshapes’ for future Millions less | CFIA assures public that food safety won’t suffer BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

When Agriculture Canada’s report on its plans and priorities was tabled in Parliament in late March, agriculture minister Gerry Ritz wrote that the times present “a tremendous opportunity to rethink and reshape Canadian agriculture.” Part of the rethinking and reshaping clearly involves making his department a smaller player. A goal, the report said, is “to achieve a smaller departmental footprint. It will position (Agriculture Canada) to meet its future goals and priorities while contributing to the government’s return to a balanced budget.” It means hundreds of millions of dollars in reduced spending on safety nets, administration and most program areas within Agriculture Canada, as well as at the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. It also means a reduction of 300 Agriculture Canada employees over the next three years and 931 positions at the CFIA. However, the CFIA report said the cuts “will not decrease the number of front-line food safety inspection staff.” Treasury Board president Tony Clement tabled planning reports for all government departments and agencies just as MPs were preparing to leave Ottawa for a two-week break from Parliament. The reports are for the fiscal year started April 1 and through the next two fiscal years. The government’s claims that its plans will have little impact in agriculture or food safety will be fodder for political debate in Parliament after MPs return April 15. The Agriculture Canada report projects a departmental spending decrease from forecast spending of $2.85 billion in the year ended March 31 to $2.45 billion this year and $2.82 billion next year. Some of that reduction comes from the fact that Ottawa’s contributions to spending deals signed with provinces under the new Growing Forward 2 programs launched April 1 were added to the 2012-13 total. As well, the federal government budgeted $182 million last year to pick up the costs of ending the CWB monopoly. That funding falls sharply this year. The department says a significant reorganization of the bureaucracy, including program consolidation and sharing with the CFIA, will save $253 million annually by next year. As a result, Agriculture Canada staff levels (full-time equivalent) are expected to fall from 5,721 this year to 5,425 by 2015-16. Sharp projected spending cuts are also planned in some of the branches. Spending on science, innovation and adaptation will fall by almost 25 percent by next year. The report said the emphasis is on a different research focus that involves more than government. “Increased focus will be placed on knowledge creation and transfer, partnerships with industry and private sector investment in Canadian research and development.” Meanwhile, spending on agribusi-

ness development is set to more than double this year to $117 million. The budget for environmental sustainability and on-farm environmental programs drops by 54 percent this year to $89 million. As well, co-operative funding has declined to a trickle in the department’s plan as responsibility for coops moves from Agriculture Canada. The report to Parliament outlines reductions in benefits for farmers under several key business risk management programs that started April 1. Some farm group analysts have

projected savings in the hundreds of millions of dollars. Strong commodity prices also will reduce the cost of those programs. At the CFIA, the plans and priorities repor t shows a decline in planned spending from $731 million this year to $620 million by 2015-16. The spending cut reflects administrative efficiency savings, the winding down of some programs and a transfer of pay services to the public works department. “None of these efficiencies affect front-line food inspection staff,” the report said.

ADVERTISING FEATURE

MapelLease Financial and National Leasing – Shared Vision leads to Growth by Darlene Polachic MapelLease Financial Services of Saskatoon and National Leasing Group Inc., headquartered in Winnipeg, are pleased to announce the establishment of a business partnership. On April 1, 2013, MapelLease Financial officially became a part of National Leasing. MapelLease Financial majority shareholder Dave Goertzen says the arrangement will benefit both companies and provide enhanced services and more options for customers. “This partnership benefits our customers because National Leasing has one of the best sources of capital when it comes to agriculture leasing,” he says. “MapelLease Financial is a lease broker company. A lease broker is like an insurance agency. We don’t own any of the assets being funded. Instead, we source a variety of funding partners in order to serve our customers. National Leasing has been our primary agricultural funder for many years.” The relationship between MapelLease and National Leasing goes back almost 20 years. “MapelLease has been our main broker in agriculture in Canada,” says Miles Macdonell, Vice President in charge of Western Sales at National Leasing. “Our approach to marketing is very similar. Both companies are focused on providing the best possible financial solutions to customers acquiring equipment. It was a natural progres-

to the operation. From a farm operation perspective, he says, having access to multiple funding sources is always a benefit.

Focus on Growth

sion for our two companies to join forces.” MapelLease Financial Services specializes in the agricultural sector, and as a leasing broker also has expertise in the transportation, oil and gas, commercial and industrial industries. “We expect a good outcome,” Macdonell says. “With MapelLease coming into the fold, the potential exists for us to lead the equipment leasing market in Western Canada. We will be stronger together.”

Two Great Success Stories

MapelLease offers a variety of lease financing options for new or used equipment offered through dealers, private sales, and/or auction house sales. “Our company is uniquely positioned because members of the MapelLease team grew up on farms,” Dave Goertzen says. “We work with farmers every day and understand the challenges of their business. As well, the MapelLease team has many years of experience in the finance industry.” The company sees a high level of repeat business.

Goertzen says, “Many of our customers are already in lease arrangements, and trade-up their existing equipment for newer models that meet their current business needs. Some customers have been working with us for fifteen years.” National Leasing has been in business for almost forty years and provides equipment leasing to businesses across Canada for a broad range of equipment including commercial, healthcare, golf and turf, and agricultural. In the agriculture market, the equipment leased may be anything from grain bins to tractors, combines, swathers, grain trucks and sprayers. “More and more producers are leasing equipment,” says Macdonell. “Leasing has become a standard business practice. Our experience is that a significant number of producers in the agricultural sector lease a portion of their equipment, and that number is growing all the time.” Macdonell says leasing allows the end-user to conserve cash. Leasing may also provide tax benefits

MapelLease and National Leasing share a philosophy based on the value of providing excellent customer service delivered by friendly, knowledgeable people. With their combined expertise in equipment financing, this acquisition offers a great opportunity for growth. Goertzen stresses that the acquisition of MapelLease by National Leasing will be an enhancement to the business operation. “Our customers are very important to us,” he says. “We’re service oriented and strongly customer-focused. Our service to customers goes well beyond that of competitors.” MapelLease’s belief that the customer is number one completely aligns with National Leasing’s culture. Macdonell adds, “National Leasing is thrilled to be joining forces with MapelLease Financial Services. We believe this is the ideal time to further invest in the agricultural market. National Leasing has had strong growth in Western Canada, and now, with the MapelLease team playing a key role, we plan to capture an even greater share of the market.” MapelLease Financial Services is located at 204 Circle Drive East, in Saskatoon and can be contacted by telephone at 306-667-4600 or toll-free at 1-800-2562474.

Focused On Growth.

MapelLease Financial & National Leasing MapelLease Financial and National Leasing have joined forces. Both companies have a shared belief in providing the best possible equipment ﬁnance solutions. As one team we have more ways to help our customers grow their businesses. TWO GREAT SUCCESS STORIES—ONE STRONG FUTURE!

CANADIAN RED CROSS | DISASTER MANAGEMENT

HEALTH | BACK INJURIES

Volunteers key to aid efforts

Farm work spurs health research BY DIANE ROGERS

Flood watch | Canadian Red Cross looks to bolster volunteer reserves through new initiative BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

With flooding incidents still in recent memory and a large spring thaw underway, officials with the Canadian Red Cross say they’re monitoring the situation closely. “So much of it is weather related, depending on how quickly the melt happens, depending on if we get any additional moisture in the next month or two,” Kim MacLean, Red Cross provincial lead for disaster management, said about the flood threat in Saskatchewan. “There’s so many what ifs, but I have to say the good news is communities are taking it very seriously and are working really, really hard, and so are families and individuals.” The Red Cross, which provides shelter, food and first aid services to communities, works with the Saskatchewan government and monitors information from the Saskatchewan Water Security Agency. “We’re in the midst right now of preparing for the flooding that’s being predicted here in Saskatchewan, in Manitoba, and there are forest fires again being predicted in B.C.,” said Sue Phillips, Red Cross director general for Western Canada. She highlighted areas around Saskatoon, Regina and the Souris Valley as areas of concern in Saskatchewan as a large snow pack disappears. However, she said the soil isn’t as saturated as it was in 2011 when Saskatchewan and Manitoba saw significant flooding. “2011 is still fresh in everybody’s mind,” she said. “It wasn’t that long ago that we had such a significant event. That’s making people really focus on the preparation.” In emergency situations, the organization relies upon supplies it has stored across Western Canada and its network of volunteers to deliver those provisions. The organization responded to more than 350 incidents in Western Canada last year, such as local fires and floods as well as larger events in

which entire communities are evacuated. Phillips said the organization’s resources are sometimes taxed as events double up. For example, she said the Red Cross was responding to flooding in Manitoba in 2011 when a fire in Slave Lake, Alta., devastated that community. “We responded. We had people on the road immediately, going into that community, but that’s the

nature of what can happen and why you need to have that ability to surge with volunteers.” Last week, the Red Cross announced a partnership with Federated Co-operatives Ltd., which includes funding of up to $1 million over five years. Additionally, eight of FCL’s prairie retailers, including Brandon, Yorkton and Medicine Hat, will participate in volunteer recruitment and training.

Vic Huard, FCL’s vice-president of corporate affairs, said the organization will expand this effort in coming years. “Every year we have to train new people because the majority of our work is done by volunteers,” said MacLean, who works with a network of 350 volunteers in her province. “If we don’t have volunteers, we can’t deliver the service really well.”

FREELANCE WRITER

Farmers are becoming more like truckers, and facing similar health issues, says a Saskatchewan health researcher. Catherine Trask is studying musculoskeletal and other agricultural injuries in a $1 million five-year project, which includes $500,000 in federal money. The assistant professor with the Canadian Centre for Health and Safety in Agriculture at the University of Saskatchewan is being funded as part of the Canada Research Chairs program. Trask said the funding will explore disorders like back injuries for the first time among agricultural workers. “Research on how these conditions develop and how we can prevent them will have an impact on the health of workers in Saskatchewan and the rest of Canada,” she said. She said farming has become increasingly mechanized with less physical labour. “Being in a static position, especially during seeding and harvest, leads to back injury because of whole body vibration,” Trask said. She will also examine carpal tunnel syndrome and shoulder problems like bursitis, which occur when the same movements are done repetitively. The erosion in muscles and joints has become more common as farms have specialized. On a pig farm with 500 or fewer animals, workers exercised a range of motions in caring for livestock. When the operation is scaled up to 5,000 pigs, workers spend more hours doing the same task such as docking pigs’ tails. Trask said the first part of her project involves mailing a survey to farmers to gauge the scope of the injury problem. Since farmers and their workers are often not eligible for Workers Compensation, there is little research compiled in this area. Most of the research to date has been done on sudden accident limb amputations, but back, joint and respiratory injuries occur slowly over years. That’s why Trask will focus her work on adults. Preliminary results will be presented at the Symposium on Safety and Health in Agricultural and Rural Populations in Saskatoon in October, 2014.

LOOKING BACK | FAMILY HISTORY

Saskatchewan film pays tribute to family, pioneer life Two Prairie Farmers | Izzy Avraham tells stories of farming, family and danger BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

PRINCE ALBERT, Sask. — Threeyear-old Tirzah Avraham is the reason her father, Izzy, created a visual tribute to the family’s farming roots. “I want my children to know these stories and feel that connection to Saskatchewan,” said the Prince Albert film producer. “It’s my tribute to my grandparents, one of those labours of love.” Avraham, 31, produced a four-part DVD series called Memoirs of Two Prairie Farmers about his deda and baba, Bill and Agatha Kardash. The couple farmed and raised two children near Blaine Lake on land first homesteaded by Fred and Pearl Kardash. “I wanted to film them at their place, so I took a video camera and sound system and had them sit in their chairs

and tell me stories,” said Avraham. “Most people are really out of touch with their family history,” he said. “Your family is who you are, where you come from, because it’s so easy to get swallowed up in western culture and lose your distinctiveness.” Avraham, who was home schooled and lived on the family farm until last summer, claims Russian, Ukrainian, Doukhobor and Jewish ancestry. He changed his name from Curtis Johnson after a trip to Israel and reconnecting with Jewish roots from his great-grandparents, who dropped the faith to avoid the persecution they faced in Eastern Europe. Today, the self-taught film maker is the director of the online Holy Language Institute, which has more than 4,000 students in 115 countries learning Hebrew. Avraham said the DVD series was

They went far beyond what their education would indicate they could.” With just a Grade 6 education, Agatha’s father created a wind powered generator that provided light in the kitchen. Some of these family stories were familiar, while others were new to him. “Baba told me the story of her family going to come over on the Titanic but because of a luggage delay, they missed the boat,” he said. Agatha grew up surrounded by relatives and music in a large Doukhobour family. Bill’s family obtained black market passports to make its way into Canada. There were tales of the natural world and the community in which they lived and worked, as well as sto-

ries of threshing crews, sleeping in the barn, playing the harmonica and singing and dancing to pass the time. However, there were also tales of danger, such as getting trampled while working with horses. Bill had many close calls. He made a shotgun from a pipe and when it blew up in his hand, it nicked his ear. He also almost got pulled into a combine. During the Depression, Bill would collect crow’s eggs and gopher’s tails for cash. “They caught them live and cut the tails, believing they would regrow,” Avraham said. Agatha caught Bill’s eye during a baseball game between rival school teams. “He thought she was cute so he tripped her as she came by his base to meet her,” said Avraham. “We joke how she fell for him there. “They were real farmers. They took their honeymoon trip in a grain truck and went to B.C. to see the mountains.” They had been married for 64 years when Bill passed away in January. Agatha maintains ownership of the farm’s home quarter but now lives in

a Saskatoon care home. The farm is operated by the Sherstobetoff family, who are Kardash relatives. Agatha was surprised by the interest in her family and was reluctant at first about the project. “I said, ‘Izzy don’t do this,’ but when he did it, I was glad and so was everybody else,” she said. “It’s important to have a family history along the way.” She described tales of sharing picnic lunches at harvest, hired help and treasured family moments. “We lived with faith.” Her daughter, Sharon Johnson, said the faith showed in every part of their married life together. “They were always there for each other and depended on each other,” she said. Avrasham said the history involved a month of work, including four days of filming. The DVDs are available for sale but are also posted online at www.twoprairiefarmers.com. “I more wanted to get the stories out than make a buck,” he said. “It’s my tribute to my grandparents, one of those labours of love.”

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.

time in 1990 and continuing to work part time. “We took a huge leap of faith and moved out here,” said Jean. In 2010, the Pryor farm received a provincial century farm award for being continually farmed by the same family for 100 years. Jean doesn’t answer immediately when asked about the importance of maintaining the family’s homestead farm. Her answer comes later as she points to antique furniture, weathered family photographs and paintings and the trees that her grandparents planted. Jean is fond of gardening, baking and quilting, while Ernie’s passions include restoring old cars. They refurbished the 1910 farmhouse themselves, retaining original woodwork, pouring a new foundation, knocking out walls to create larger living spaces and replacing aging wiring, siding and plumbing. “We were coming and we were staying,” said Jean of the massive renovation project they undertook. They installed a wind turbine that pays for their power and also use a wood fireplace. “We’re always looking for cheaper alternatives,” said Jean. That includes choosing secondhand farm machinery, tackling home renovation themselves, raising Cornish cross chickens each spring and backpacking trips. They initially farmed conventionally, with a 50-50 seeded crop-summerfallow rotation, but one windy spring and a damaged canola crop helped force the switch to continuous cropping. “I’m happy with it. The inputs were a little higher, but the returns have been good,” said Ernie. Last fall netted them one of their poorer crops, with lentils drowned out by too much water, sclerotinia in canola reducing yields and a double whammy of aster yellow and midge. The couple shares farming chores, with occasional help from Ernie’s brother and Jean’s nephew. The Pryors call each other their best friends and say they enjoy time spent together. “When I blow my stack, he can be very patient,” said Jean. Ernie said both stick to what they’re

good at and are fussy about the work they do. “He teases that’s how he got me, he’s picky,” Jean said. This spring, the Pryors would like to seed early but wonder about the snow melt and where the water will go. In late March, the grid road past their farm lane had banks piled higher than a car, making it impassable. “There’s going to be a lot of sloughs,”

said Jean. When not farming, both are active in the community and church, walk every morning, curl on natural ice, do old-time dancing and enjoy boating at a nearby lake. For the future, they will continue exploring the world and returning home. “As long as we have good health, we will farm for quite a number of years yet,” said Ernie.

RELATIONSHIPS | FATHER

Breastfeeding Daughter envies kids’ relationship with Grandpa is important SPEAKING OF LIFE spring planting, he was sometimes verbally abusive. I longed for a better relationship and I continue to want to relate to him better but I continue to distrust him. When I see the bonds developing with my children, I get hurt and jealous. Why couldn’t he have been like that when I was a child? What can I do about it now?

HEALTH CLINIC

JACKLIN ANDREWS, BA, MSW CLARE ROWSON, MD

My daughter is expecting a baby any day now and she has told me that she does not want to breastfeed. I told her that the baby would be healthier for the rest of its life if she did. What is your opinion? Is infant formula just as good?

Sometimes I get frustrated with my dad. He is good to my children. He is patient, stops whatever he is doing to listen to their stories and seems to enjoy shopping for presents for them. He was never like that to his own children. He was impatient with us, and come harvest or a late

What is going on with your father is common for some men. In midlife, they change from being hard driven, goal oriented autocrats to warm and sensitive caring old men. When you were a child, your dad had more responsibilities than he has now. He had to make sure that all

of you had a roof over your heads and food on the table. All it took was one bad crop year or a sudden drop in the market for that responsibility to burden your father. You probably saw your dad’s impatience as anger and frustration but more likely it was fear and trepidation. He may have had an underlying fear that he would someday lose the farm and was unsure what would happen to his family in that event. He has continued to farm because he loves farming, not because he needs to provide for his family. And now he has time to enjoy his grandchildren. For many men, the shift to middle age is about more than reconciliation

with their families. They begin to worry less about strategies for survival and think more about the real meaning in their lives. They wonder what is important to them. Commitments to their churches are stronger and the love of family is more genuine. Talk to your dad. He may regret who he was when you were growing up, but neither of you can do much about that. The task is to live for the day, to forget and forgive and enjoy your dad as the man who enjoys playing with his grandchildren. Jacklin Andrews is a family counsellor from Saskatchewan.

Breastfeeding is the method of choice if at all possible. Some women are unable to produce enough milk and have to use formula. When I was young, many women chose formula because it was more convenient. Some women simply wanted to preserve their figures. Current research shows that breastfed babies are healthier in a number of ways. The colostrum present in breast milk helps fight off infections at a time when young babies do not have any antibodies of their own. Animal farmers and ranchers are well aware of the importance of colostrum in the development of healthy newborns. Various studies have shown that gut bacteria play an important role in preventing certain diseases. A study of young babies found that those fed infant formula had more C. difficile bacteria in their intestines compared to breast-fed babies. This bacterium is one of the causes of severe and lifethreatening diarrhea. Premature babies are even more at risk. Disruption of the balance of good and bad bacteria in the gut has also been linked to the development of bowel disease, diabetes, obesity, cancer, allergies and asthma. A study recently published in the Canadian Medical Journal showed that a group of four-month-old babies who had been born by elective caesarean section and who were also fed formula were more at risk of serious lifelong diseases, possibly even cancer. They found that these babies also suffered from a lack of the beneficial gut bacteria and a higher incidence of the harmful ones when compared to normally delivered, breastfed infants.

DETECTING ALS, DEMENTIA Leonard Petrucelli, a molecular neuroscientist and director of the Department of Neuroscience at Mayo Clinic in Florida, has discovered an abnormal protein that accumulates in the brains of many patients affected with two common neurodegenerative disorders. One is Lou Gehrig’s disease, or ALS, and the other is a common form of dementia known as fronto-temporal dementia. The abnormal protein is known as C9RANT and is thought to be a mutation of the gene C9ORF72. Finding this marker could potentially lead to early tests for these diseases and even possible treatments.

Sea buckthorn â&#x20AC;&#x201D; super food with a thorny disposition TEAM RESOURCES

SARAH GALVIN, BSHEc

They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t call it a thorn for nothing. Protective clothing is essential

limate and soil conditions are ideal in Saskatchewan for growing sea buckthorn, a deciduous shrub originating in Europe and Asia. The berries are tightly packed around the branches and surrounded by large thorns. I purchased berries from Northern Vigor Berries, a Saskatchewan family business, at www.northernvigorberries.com. Company president Betty Forbesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; stepfather planted an orchard in 1998 and Betty and her brother, Gregory Bloodoff, have cared for the crop ever since. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When (Forbesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; stepfather) heard about the tremendous nutritional value of sea buckthorn, he was eager to try this new crop,â&#x20AC;? she said. Agriculture Canada reports that sea buckthorn berries are among the most nutritious and vitamin-rich fruit, containing vitamins C, E and K, carotenoids, flavonoids, antioxidants, 18 amino acids, and 24 chemical elements such as phosphorus, iron and magnesium. Oil from the seed contains unsaturated fatty acids and omega 3 and 6. Harvesting the fruit is a challenge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The long thorns are dangerous,â&#x20AC;? Forbes said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wear protective clothing and even the toughest gloves only last a few days.â&#x20AC;? The branches are cut and put into trucks operating at -30 C because of the high oil content in the berries, she said. Finding recipes for new food products is a challenge. I have been playing in my kitchen with these berries and developing recipes, cooking them in water and straining to collect the juice. The flavour of these berries reminds me of oranges and apricots with an exotic twist. I add vanilla bean to mellow out the tartness but they also pair well with cardamom, almond and chilies. The berries taste good in sorbets, ice cream and baked goods.

to cover. When berries have popped, remove from heat. Strain through a jelly bag without squeezing the bag. Boil the juice with honey until thickened slightly. Add a few more whole berries, scrape seeds from the vanilla bean and simmer. Cool. Make the vinaigrette by adding oil, vinegar, Dijon mustard, sea buckthorn sauce, shallots and garlic to a jar with a lid. Shake to mix. Toss salad greens, pecans and vinaigrette. Crumble cheese over the top and serve.

SEA BUCKTHORN JELLY I found pectin was added to many

recipes. I tried making jelly with only sugar and it worked well. I think these berries have natural pectin but probably only if you use the whole berry including the seed.

FARM LIVING with one-half cup (125 mL) water. When the berries burst and are soft, strain through cheesecloth. Reserve juice for this recipe and set aside pulp for another use. Boil sugar and water until the syrup caramelizes and turns golden brown. Add vinegar, shallots and chicken stock and simmer until sauce is reduced by about half and slightly thickened. Stir in butter, juice and berries and simmer only until berries are soft. This can be made the day before and refrigerated until use. With a sharp knife, score the skin on the duck breast in a crisscross pattern being careful not to cut through the meat. In a preheated ovenproof skillet, sear duck breasts, skin side down over medium low heat until browned and much of the fat has been rendered out. Remove excess fat. Turn them and place pan in oven to cook until internal temperature reach-

es 145 F (62 C). Remove from oven and cover with aluminum foil to rest for 10 minutes. The duck will continue to cook and reach an internal temperature of 160 F (70 C).

Canola oil and high-oleic canola oils can lower abdominal fat when used in place of other selected oil blends, reports a team of American and Canadian researchers. Penny Kris-Etherton of Penn State said that consuming certain vegetable oils could reduce the risk of metabolic syndrome, which affects about one in five Canadian adults. In the study, 121 participants at risk for metabolic syndrome received a daily smoothie containing 40 grams of one of five oils as part of a weight maintenance, heart-healthy, 2,000 calorie per day diet. Members of the group had five risk factors, including increased belly fat, low hdl cholesterol and above average blood sugar, blood pressure and triglycerides that increase the risk of heart disease, stroke and Type 2 diabetes. The researchers repeated this process for the remaining four oils. Results showed that those who consumed canola or high-oleic canola oils on a daily basis for four weeks lowered their belly fat by 1.6 percent compared to those who consumed a flax/safflower oil blend. Abdominal fat was unchanged by the other two oils, which included a corn/safflower oil blend and high oleic canola oil enriched with an algal source of the omega 3 DHA. Both the flax/ safflower and corn/safflower oil blends were low in monounsaturated fat.

SUSTAINABILITY: A BIG BUSINESS BUZZWORD Farm groups urged to pay attention | Changing demands from consumers and corporations will affect producers’ production methods STORIES BY ROBERT ARNASON

SUSTAINABILITY TARGETS: Walmart unveiled its goals for sustainable agriculture in 2010. Some of the objectives take effect at the end of this year, such as goals for food procurement in Canada. Walmart has committed to: • Sell $1 billion globally in food sourced directly from small, medium and local farmers. • Provide training to one million farmers in sustainable farming practices. • Reduce in-store food waste by 15 percent in emerging markets and 10 percent in all other markets. • Develop a sustainable produce assessment for producers in its global sourcing network to understand energy, water, fertilizer and pesticide use. • Accelerate progress in the United States on the Sustainability Index of its agricultural products. It initiated a sustainable produce assessment of select global suppliers in 2011. • Buy 30 percent of produce locally on an annual basis by Dec. 31, 2013, in Canada. • Buy 100 percent its produce assortment locally, when local produce is available in Canada.

trip to the grocery store isn’t what it used to be. It’s difficult to walk down a supermarket aisle without glancing at a labelling claim, whether it be free range, fair trade, grass-fed, animal welfare approved, rainforest alliance, natural and non-genetically modified. However, a food industry consultant says sorting through the noise isn’t as difficult as it may seem because all the labels really say the same thing: the food is produced sustainably. “There’s a whole range of stuff that falls into that bracket,” said Matt Loose, a director with the management consultancy Stratos in Toronto. On April 9, Loose presented a research study on corporate practices and sustainable food at the second annual Canadian Food Summit, a Conference Board of Canada event in Toronto. Loose said in an interview before the summit that global behemoths such as Unilever, McDonald’s and Walmart are pulling the food industry into a new era of sustainability. There are currently as many questions around sustainable food as answers, but Loose said the food industry is headed swiftly in that direction. “Nearly 30 percent of all new food products released include messaging about the sustainability of the product,” said a Stratos document, “What is sustainable food?” that was posted on the company website. The same Stratos paper said there is little agreement on sustainability programs, practices and standards in

the food industry, which makes it difficult for consumers to differentiate between what is sustainable and what is not. Fred Kirschenmann, distinguished fellow at the Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture at Iowa State University, is familiar with the confusion surrounding the vague concept of sustainability. Kirschenmann said he has heard the same comments about his field of interest for the last 30 years. “People would always say to me, ‘I don’t know how you can be serious about this because nobody can define it,’ ” said Kirschenmann, who manages a 2,600 acre organic farm in North Dakota. Despite the ambiguity, sustainability

is a word that appears frequently when organic and conventional growers defend their system or label other production methods as unsustainable. Kirschenmann said the discussion about how to grow food over the long run is the most important and vigorous debate within agriculture. Defenders of conventional agriculture claim that intensifying production agriculture by applying more inputs and more sophisticated technology is the only way to feed nine billion people. Those on the other side of the debate, including Kirschenmann, aren’t convinced a system that relies heavily on fossil fuel, deposits of rock phosphate and ample supplies of fresh water is sustainable for

hundreds of years. However, Kirschenmann said there is plenty of room within the discussion for agronomic practices that fall under the heading of sustainable and ecological agriculture. For example, a U.S. Department of Agriculture initiative called the Natural Resources Conservation Service now has a soil health and sustainable agriculture division. Kirschenmann said the centre works with conventional farmers to help them restore the biological health of their soil. “They’re seeing incredible results from that. They’ve reduced their fertilizer and pesticide use by 70 to 80 percent.” CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

groups focus more on public relations than on building relationships. “In all of these sectors (organic and conventional), we tend to think all we have to do is a better job of messaging, but that doesn’t get at the core of this new food system that’s emerging,” he said. “ Whether you’re organic or conventional or local or whatever, ultimately you have to pay attention to your customer.” Loose said global giants of the future may want to know if a particular farmer in Western Canada is growing canola in a sustainable manner. A corporation may decide it wants to buy canola grown with a minimal amount of fungicides and herbicides, which would force growers to adjust production practices and documentation. “There may be a multitude of different data requirements that farmers are going to be required or requested to meet,” he said. “You need to fill this form in to tell us how much pesticides you’re using…. Tell us what you are doing and how well are you performing in these areas.” Pulse Canada is attempting to position its products as sustainable to take advantage of consumer and corporate expectations. Peas, lentils and soybeans boost soil nitrogen levels, and the industry is trying to put definitive numbers around those environmental benefits. “Energy input, energy use, water use efficiency, we’re really trying to quantify some of those metrics around those key environmental sustainability indicators,” said Carl Potts, executive director of Saskatchewan Pulse Growers. The organization hopes food ingredient companies will choose pulses over other options to meet sus-tainability goals if it can generate those figures.

Loose said the shift toward sustainable food systems is much more than greenwashing and branding because companies have realized they need to develop supply chains that are dependable over the long haul. For instance, Unilever buys 50 percent of global tea production and relies on a consistent supply. “(Companies) have an interest in ensuring the sustainability of that supply chain,” Loose said. “Make it

In another example, conventional growers in North Dakota and North Carolina now use cover crops as part of a shift toward sustainability. That sort of agronomic extension and adoption may be critical for the future of sustainable agriculture, but in all likelihood it will be Fortune 500 companies that have the most influence. “There seems to be a v e r y s t ro n g m ov e ment for companies to be marketing or branding their pro-ducts as sustainable food items,” Loose said, noting that 13,000 new sustainable f o o d a n d d r i n k p ro d u c t s w e re launched between 2005 and 2010, according to Mintel, a European research firm. Kirschenmann agreed that companies and consumers are on a track toward sustainable food. As evidence, he recalled a comment by Richard Schnieders, the former chair of Sysco, a food distribution firm with revenues of $37 billion in 2011. “He got up in front of this group of farmers … and he said, ‘I want you all to know that the growing edge of our market in our company is all about memor y, romance and trust,’ ” Kirschenmann said. “I was sitting in the front row and I thought, ‘whatever happened to fast, convenient and cheap?’ Because that’s all we’ve ever been told.” Kirschenmann said today’s consumers want high quality food and a good story that comes with it. Perhaps a tale on how the farmer was kind to the pig, the farm workers were paid fairly or the grower protects the environment. However, he worries that farm

resilient to climate change or, say, water shortages in key regions.” While Loose believes major corporations will soon have a substantial influence on farm practices, others say that reality may be a ways off. Barry McLean, president of Maple Leaf Foods’ Canada Bread Fresh Bakery division, said Walmart is one of his biggest customers and he expects Canada Bread to operate in energy efficient buildings, use less

packaging and adopt other practices to reduce the bakery’s carbon footprint. McLean said those sustainability requirements haven’t yet reached his suppliers, such as questions around the amount of fertilizer or pesticides used to grow wheat. “It hasn’t gotten to that level. Whether it will or not, I don’t know.” SEE RELATED STORY ON NEXT PAGE

PRODUCTION | METHODS

Canadian ag research lags behind American work, says official Studying sustainability | While numerous institutions are examining holistic production in the U.S., there are only a few in Canada BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

If Google is any indication, sustainable agriculture research and extension are thriving in the United States. Universities in North Carolina, Iowa, Vermont, California, Wisconsin have developed sustainable agriculture programs or centres. As well, for 25 years the U.S. Department of Agriculture has run the Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (SARE), a nationwide program to support profitable agriculture that sustains the nation’s land and water. On top of that, individual farms and non-governmental organizations across the U.S. have established ecological and sustainable farming institutes and centres. In Canada, centres have been set up to study organic production systems, but few focus on sustainable ag. “I would say we are definitely behind the U.S,” said Mehdi Sharifi, Canada research chair in sustainable agriculture at Trent University. “They have more organized institutions and centres…. We’re still figuring things out. But the agricultural system in Canada is a bit different that the U.S, so we have to find our own path.” Sharifi said there are sustainable agriculture programs at the universities of Alberta and Trent and a couple

Both conventional and organic production systems can be sustainable. | FILE PHOTO of colleges, including Fleming College in Ontario. As well, the University of British Columbia has a Centre for Sustainable Food Systems as part of its Faculty of Land and Food Systems. W h at t h e U. S. a n d Ca na d i a n experts study at those centres and institutes likely varies because there isn’t a universal definition of sustainable agriculture. Sharifi said it’s too simplistic to define it as something on the spectrum between organic and conventional production. “Sustainable agriculture is basically a holistic approach,” he said.

“It’s a system that sustains production over the long term. It sustains the economic viability of the farm operation…. The third component is the social aspect of that. The sustainable system should enhance the quality of life for the farmer, farm workers and society as a whole.” It should also have a minimal impact on the environment and use non-renewable resources efficiently. He said it’s distinct from organic agriculture because organic is basically a production model. “In organic, the focus is the production, not using herbicides, pesticides, hormones and so on. So the focus is

on the production aspect, not on the economic or social aspect,” he said. “It doesn’t matter what kind of production system (a farmer employs), it could be sustainable or unsustainable. So you could have organic production and it could be unsustainable.” Sustainable is also different from conventional agriculture, which focuses on inputs and yield. “The process in the conventional (model) is more linear: inputs and output,” he said. “In the ecological system… you try to recycle stuff. You don’t just put stuff in and take stuff out.”

Sharifi said zero tillage is certainly a production component of sustainable agriculture because it uses less energy and benefits the environment. However, adopting one practice doesn’t make a farm sustainable, he added. Fred Kirschenmann, distinguished fellow at the Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture at Iowa State, said sustainable agriculture experts and extension personnel in the U.S. are encouraging conventional growers to adopt cover crops and more complex rotations to benefit soil health. He said it’s possible for producers who use pesticides and GMOs to become sustainable. “I could easily see a future where these farmers who are not organic, but are devoted to the biological health of their soil, may be more sustainable than some of the organic farmers who are using natural inputs,” said Kirschenmann, who is an organic farmer. Sharifi said the GM issue is a tricky one for proponents of sustainable agriculture. From his viewpoint, GMOs should not be part of a sustainable agriculture system because the long-term consequences of GM traits on soil health are still not understood. However, other experts and members of the movement have a different opinion, he added.

Alberta Wheat Commission wants closer look at proposal Variety registration | Organization wants to consult with industry about a WCWGA motion to reshape the wheat classification system BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The newly formed Alberta Wheat Commission says it is too early to support a proposal from the Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association aimed at revamping Canada’s variety registration system. Commission director Kent Erickson said his organization recognizes the need to review the system for registering and classifying new wheat varieties. However, he said it cannot endorse the WCWGA’s proposal until a more thorough, industry-wide consultation has taken place. “Our position right now is that there needs to be changes, and we have been told by government that we need to look at changes to the variety registration system,” Erickson said. “But we also have to understand that the system we have now has been in place for a long time and … that there’s a lot of people in the industry right now that value the system as it is today.… We honestly

can’t support (the WCWGA proposal) … just because we don’t have the information to determine whether that’s the best model for Alberta or not.” The wheat growers association recently proposed a new wheat classification system designed to reduce the time needed to bring new wheat varieties to market. Under the WCWGA model, seed developers would register new wheat varieties first and decide later whether to submit the variety to three years of quality testing. Varieties submitted for quality testing would then be reviewed by a wheat classification panel, which would determine whether the variety meets the quality parameters of one of Western Canada’s existing wheat classes. As well, merit testing of disease and agronomic traits would no longer be a pre-condition for registration. WCWGA members say the proposed system would preserve Canada’s current wheat classification system while reducing pre-registration testing requirements for

new wheat lines. It would also encourage new investments in wheat breeding, especially from private sector breeding companies. Erickson said the WCWGA proposal may have some merit, but the commission is not prepared to endorse the plan without seeking feedback from growers, researchers and other wheat industry players. The commission will be putting together its own proposal and submitting it to federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz in due course, he added. “We’re going to be going to all the different stakeholders in the industry, and then we’ll come out with a position of our own,” Erickson said. “I think we’re going to see position from all sides of the spectrum.… The (WC WGA) has a position and I respect that, but I think we as a commission need to do our due diligence to make sure that when we do send our position out, that it’s for the benefit of all growers.”

LEGISLATION | MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

The Saskatchewan government is prepared to step in if cities and rural municipalities can’t agree on development plans. Government relations minister Jim Reiter has introduced amendments to the Planning and Development Act that would allow the province to establish regional planning authorities. Under the existing legislation, two or more municipalities may enter into their own agreements to form planning districts. Reiter said the voluntary approach works well in most cases. “In most instances across the province, there’s great co-operation between municipalities,” he said. “There have been some instances where that just isn’t the case and in very extreme cases we’re concerned about the impact that could have on potential growth opportunities in the province.” The most highly publicized example is likely the relationship between the City of Regina and the RM of Sherwood, which has broken down over planning issues. The RM asked about a year ago that the 50-year-old district planning commission be dissolved. The city and the RM disagreed last fall about the location of a Kal Tire distribution and retreading plant. The RM supported its construction

near the Global Transportation Hub, while the city, which wants to be able to accommodate new neighbourhoods, said a development plan should be in place first. Premier Brad Wall has said economic development opportunities shouldn’t be held up because local governments can’t get along. Reiter said last week that the province doesn’t want to interfere but needs the authority to be able to do so when necessary. “We’re going to use this, if at all, very judiciously,” he said. “This isn’t intended to micromanage every decision that cities and adjacent municipalities make.” He said the proposed amendments will not immediately affect the situation between Regina and Sherwood. “I’m still asking them to come to some sort of agreement,” he said. Ongoing projects in the Regina area include expansion at the transportation hub, the overpass at Pinkie Road and the Trans-Canada Highway for truck traffic to the hub, and a potential bypass on the east side of the city.

EDMONTON — The trend in Canadian retail will see stores grow larger and become part of global brands, Jeff Doucette told a pulse food development competition.

wellness ratings” that their suppliers must follow. “We will see more competition coming here and competition will go up.” Doucette sees retailers building great brands. Gone are the days when private label brands were yellow with black lettering that customers hid in the back of their pantries at home. Retailers are developing brands that are better and cheaper than national brands. Stores will establish smaller stores at bus depots and subway stations to provide customer convenience. The savvy retailer will spend thousands of dollars to understand the individual shopper. Companies previously gathered a lot of data through loyalty cards in the past, but they didn’t use it. Retailers now use the information to build profiles of shoppers, which allows them to send the right promotions to the right people. Targeted marketing has become so successful for Britain’s Tesco’s chain, that coupon redemption has jumped from two percent to 20 to 40 percent on certain items. “You can imagine what your grocery basket says about you,” said Doucette. Data that retailers gather allows them to know more about shoppers than the shoppers themselves, he said. “You go from a shadowy figure to knowing where you live, where you like to shop, how you get to work and your favourite brands.” Large retailers are switching from television and newspaper advertising to sending information straight to the customer on their smartphones based on their shopping profile. The retailer of the future will be more conscious of its ecological footprint. During the past five years sustainability has inched to the top of the list of things that retailers believe is important. While the object is to reduce the ecological foot print, it also has the secondary benefit of increasing the company’s bottom line. Doucette said Walmart wrote a letter to its laundry soap suppliers announcing it would buy only ultra concentrated laundry detergent to help save the environment. There was no discussion about a decision that changed the entire laundry industry. Doucette said it saves 100 million gallons of water a year, 95 million pounds of plastic resin and 125 million lb. of cardboard packaging, as well as less diesel fuel in trucking the product to market. “Yes it’s good for the environment, but it’s also good for the bottom line.” Proctor and Gamble estimates removing the cardboard roll from toilet paper will save 90 million cardboard rolls a year plus 360,000 pounds of plastic covering and 54,000 gallons of diesel in trucking. Future retailers will also focus on smartphones. “The mobile shopper is always on,” he said. Smartphone users can check prices or buy their groceries by scanning quick response codes and sending their orders over the telephone. Doucette said companies also need to develop websites designed for tablets and smartphones.

PORT OF CHURCHILL | EXPORTS

Alberta crude may soon be shipped through Churchill Improve revenue | Securing oil exports could mean an extended season, which could benefit the grain sector

BRANDON BUREAU

DAUPHIN, Man. — With proposed pipelines to the south and west in jeopardy, Alberta crude could soon be moving through the Port of Churchill, says a spokesperson for the port. Brad Chase, president of OmniTRAX Canada, which operates the port and a rail line from The Pas, Man., to Churchill, said his firm has been working with oil companies for nearly a year, and a shipping agreement may be imminent. “We have a number of companies that are very interested,” Chase said at the annual meeting of the Hudson Bay Route Association, held in Dauphin April 3. “The companies … are producers, mid marketers ,who trade the product, and refiners…. We’ve been in conversation with all (of them) and have some that, right now, are very close to transaction to move through Churchill.” Sinclair Harrison, Hudson Bay Route Association president and a board member of the Churchill Gateway Development Corp., is also confident oil will be exported through the port. “I think there’s a better than 50 percent chance that oil will start moving,” he said. “If not this year, then next year.” Adding oil to the commodities shipped out of Churchill should support the goals of the association, which advocates for increased use of the port and extension of the shipping season in Hudson Bay. The shipping season now lasts about three months from the end of July to the end of October. Harrison said the power of the oil industry might convince Transport Canada and shipping industry insurers to extend the season another month. “It’s difficult to get new crop grain harvested, into the system, up to Churchill and out by the end of October. If we could extend it that extra

month, that would make a huge difference,” he said. Oil shipments could also help secure the port’s long-term financial prospects. Chase said Churchill represents a convenient route to water and a path to the international oil market, considering the $12 to $20 per barrel price gap between West Texas Intermediate (WTI) and Brent crude over the last year and a discount on Alberta crude below the WTI price. European refineries should want to buy Alber ta oil shipped out of Churchill to take advantage of a discount relative to Brent crude, he added. “If you’re in Rotterdam and you have a refinery, you’re paying Brent (prices).” OmniTRAX also considered shipping North Dakota oil from the Bakken deposit by train to Churchill, but it realized that Alberta oil made more sense because the company has a working relationship with Canadian National Railway, which has seven day a week service out of Fort Saskatchewan, Alta. OmniTRAX operates its railway on former CN track between The Pas and Churchill. “Anything (CN oil) that is coming out (of Alberta) is going right by our door to go back down to the Gulf or is going to the East Coast to find a refinery,” he said. “So to get to Churchill, we actually (offer) a very nice logistics (fit) to get that oil to tidal water.” Shipping oil through the polar bear capital of the world could certainly provoke an environmental backlash, Chase conceded. However, he said diesel has been shipped through the port to Inuit communities north of Churchill since 1950. “It (oil) is going all over North America by rail. We’re just another place that it can potentially go to.” Chase said OmniTRAX is talking to Alberta companies about shipping light sweet crude and not oilsands bitumen.

Few El Nino problems into summer NEW YORK, N.Y. (Reuters) — The U.S. national weather forecaster is forecasting that the much-feared El Nino phenomenon is unlikely to affect Northern Hemisphere weather this summer. In its monthly report, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Climate Prediction Center said its models for the El Nino remain neutral into the summer, citing oceanic heat content and wind levels during March.

However, the forecaster maintained a more uncertain longer-term outlook. “There is less confidence in the forecasts for the last half of the year,” CPC said in a statement. During El Nino, unusually warm temperatures in the tropical Pacific Ocean can cause heavy rains and flooding in parts of the United States and South America. The weather pattern can also trigger droughts in Southeast Asia and Australia.

FARM POLICY | GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS

Feds want faster, transparent regulatory system Research and development at risk | Canola council official doesn’t see existing regulations as overly cumbersome BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

VANCOUVER — Canada is taking steps to ensure agricultural innovation continues to take place in this country. “The regulatory climate has simply got to be more business friendly,” Greg Meredith, assistant deputy minister for strategic policy at Agriculture Canada, told delegates attending the Canola Council of Canada’s annual convention. That doesn’t mean getting rid of regulations, he said, but the process needs to become faster and more transparent. “Our colleagues in Health Canada and CFIA (Canadian Food Inspection Agency) are devoting an enormous amount of time and effort to really rethink and do it smarter,” he said. “It’s not about less regulation necessarily but smarter regulation.” Pat Van Osch, past chair of the Canola Council of Canada, doesn’t see existing regulations as overly cumbersome. “In the canola industry, the regulatory approval of new technologies and new traits has not been a limiting factor that is holding us back in moving innovation forward,” he said in an interview at the convention. However, Meredith stressed that Canada can’t rest on its laurels because other countries have more efficient regulatory systems. “That’s where the research and development is going to take place,” he said. “That’s where the commercialization of these new inputs is going to take place.” Meredith said technological innovation is the key to addressing declining annual growth rates for coarse grain and wheat yields, which are

Agriculture Canada’s Greg Meredith worries that Canada is falling behind emerging economies that have invested heavily in agricultural research and development. | SEAN PRATT PHOTO expected to drop below one percent per year between 2010 and 2020. “You can’t compete with yields like that. The only solution to that really is technology,” he said. Meredith worries about the proliferation of non-science based hysteria surrounding food technology, a prime example being the pink slime scandal. At the heart of the scandal was an innovative technology that created safe food out of beef processing scraps, he said. Beef was separated from the fat in the scraps and treated with ammonia gas to eliminate any pathogens. Beef Product Inc. (BPI) created a revenue stream from a waste product using a technology deemed safe by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The company’s lean finely textured beef was a success for 10 years until the phrase “pink slime” was popular-

ized by celebrity chef Jamie Oliver and in a series of stories by ABC News. Public backlash against pink slime caused McDonald’s and other food companies to stop using the product. BPI was soon forced to close three of its production plants. “Within a couple of months, virtually every large food retailer swore off this particular ingredient,” said Meredith. BPI is suing ABC News for more than $1 billion in damages, alleging that the television station and others launched a “concerted disinformation campaign” that has led to a decline in sales to less than two million pounds per week of the beef product from five million pounds before the scandal. Meredith said its just one example of how quickly a safe food technology can be deemed unsafe in the eyes of the public. It emphasizes the need for an ongoing commitment to a sci-

ence-based approach for regulation of food products. He said another role for the government is promoting the development of low level presence (LLP) policies around the world, which would prevent the rejection of grain shipments containing trace amounts of unapproved genetically modified traits. Meredith said Agriculture Canada is doing “a lot of work” on the intellectual property protection and LLP files while colleagues at Health Canada and CFIA are streamlining regulations. However, he worries that Canada is rapidly falling behind emerging economies such as China, Brazil, and India, where there is heavy investment in agricultural research and development. Meanwhile, private sector investment in Canada has languished since 2000, while investment in the food processing sector has been flat for decades.

“We’re not investing enough to keep up with the rest of the world,” said Meredith. He stressed the need for effective research partnerships between universities, governments and the private sector. Canada could see reduced investment from seed technology companies if it can’t keep pace with technological development by creating the appropriate regulatory environment and intellectual property protection, he said.

Sask. unveils flood prevention program for ’13 Funding available | Program will provide assistance to municipalities, businesses and individuals BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The Saskatchewan government has unveiled details of a flood mitigation program aimed at protecting homes, yard sites, farm buildings, businesses and municipal infrastructure from imminent flood damage. The 2013 Emergency Flood Damage Reduction Program (EFDRP) provides assistance to municipalities, businesses and individuals. It is not intended to protect against flooding on farmland nor does it

cover losses related to ground water seeping into buildings. The program provides cost-shared assistance for flood protection activities as long as: • The work will provide protection from imminent flooding. • The work has been recommended by an engineer or technical specialist. • Approval to perform the work is secured in advance, when possible, from the Water Security Agency. • Applicable regulatory approvals are obtained before construction starts. For communities and rural munici-

palities, the EFDRP will cover 100 percent of the costs for engineering and technical assistance, 100 percent of costs associated with sandbag purchases, 75 percent of costs associated with long-term flood prevention projects such as the construction of berms and diversion channels, and 50 percent of costs associated with short-term, temporary flood mitigation measures. The program will also reimburse individuals and businesses for approved, permanent flood protection works.

For owners of rural yard sites and country residences, the program covers 100 percent of engineering costs on approved projects, 85 percent of berm construction and channel improvements and 100 percent of the costs associated with testing private ground water supplies affected by flooding. Projects aimed at maintaining private farm access roads will also be covered. Reimbursement is also available for approved projects undertaken by businesses and non-profit organizations.

Eligible costs for all approved projects must be incurred before Dec 31, 2013. “As Saskatchewan readies for a significant spring runoff, our government is committed to supporting its citizens and communities faced with potential flooding,” said Ken Cheveldayoff, the minister responsible for the Saskatchewan Water Agency.

LIVESTOCK | ARGENTINA

Argentine cattle sector recovers from drought BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (Reuters) — Argentina’s cattle herd has grown to 51 million head and should keep recovering from a devastating 2009 drought that, along with price controls, forced ranchers to slaughter millions of animals before their time. Between 2007 and 2010, 17 percent of the herd was slaughtered or died of thirst and hunger. That three-year period was marked by government price controls that discouraged beef production and hot weather that peaked in 2009, turning prime grazing land into dust. By the end of that three-year period, only 48 million head of cattle were left and soybean farming was fast encroaching on grazing lands made famous by Argentina’s iconic gauchos, or cowboys. The government lifted beef price controls in 2010 as many ranchers took to feeding their cattle meal on feedlots, turning grazing pastures into more profitable soybean farms. “Starting in 2010, thanks to higher prices, ranchers started conserving more of their cows to be used for reproduction. The inertia of the three preceding years means that stocks should keep growing,” said ranching consultant Victor Tonelli. Between 2010 and 2013 the Argentine herd gained from three to 3.3 million head, and it could gain another 2.7 million to reach a total of 54 million by 2016, Tonelli said. Cattle market analyst Ignacio Iriarte said that of the 10 million head of cattle that were lost between 2007 and 2011, 3.5 to four million have been recuperated. He said the size of the herd should stabilize soon.

ANIMAL HEALTH | BACTERIAL DISEASE

Salmonella remains tough disease to control ‘Robust organism’ | Salmonella found in cattle’s lymph nodes is the newest threat the beef industry must conquer BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

BANFF, Alta. — The number of E. coli and listeria infections has dropped in recent years, but salmonella remains a constant threat. “Salmonella is a pretty robust organism. It is one of the toughest pathogens we encounter,” food scientist Keith Warriner of Guelph University told a recent Alberta Beef Industry Conference in Banff. “Regardless of all the efforts we have had, salmonella has been up there as the number one,” he said. Salmonella is responsible for 25 percent of food borne deaths compared to one percent for E. coli O157:H7. It has been found in eggs, meats, sushi, tomatoes, spices and alfalfa sprouts. Vaccinations and improved practices from farms to processing facilities have effectively reduced E. coli contamination in the food supply, said animal scientist Brad Morgan, who is in charge of food safety for Zoetis, formerly called Pfizer Animal Health. “In Canada and the U.S., we have made a tremendous amount of progress on E. coli O157:H7,” he said. “We have done a great job on it, but we have got to start addressing salmonella.” E. coli bacteria are found on surfaces and can be removed, but salmonella works its way inside animals and produce and must be addressed in a different way. Salmonella found in cattle’s lymph nodes is the newest threat. Some meat plants are removing lymph nodes, but the bovine lymphatic system is spread throughout the body with about 100 nodes on each side of the carcass. Lymph nodes can end up in ground meat and be mixed together and further spread bacteria. “We have to do something to get inside there before it is ground,” Morgan said. One species of salmonella has as

A vaccine is available, but it is used most often in the dairy industry with good results. Tests on feedlot manure showed a lower incidence when beef animals were vaccinated. Another project is investigating whether biting and sucking insects

such as horse flies may spread the disease. Researchers put salmonella on flies’ legs and have been able to find the same strain in an animal after it was bitten. “We are obviously going to have to do some pesticide work also because it looks like they are a big vector,” Morgan said. Insects may pick it up from water, other animals, manure or the air. Salmonella can get into crops such as tomatoes when manure is spread on fields. It can persist for a year on the soil and can easily get into food processing facilities and survive. Warriner said salmonella is often associated with poultry and eggs. About .06 percent of eggs carry sal-

monella but continue to be a problem because people don’t cook them thoroughly. About 10 percent of pigs carry salmonella at some point in their lives, while cattle carry it .2 to .6 percent of the time and shed it at low levels. However, ground beef levels could reach 10 percent after processing. Poultry are vaccinated in Europe, but it is less common in North America. Other on-farm interventions include checking litter, air, water and workers’ clothing to prevent its spread. Delivering antibiotics in feed is a controversial way to curb salmonella. “People don’t like antibiotics in feed anymore. The big concern with sal-

monella at the moment isn’t the fact that it is there. The fact is, it is multiple drug resistant,” Warriner said at the conference held Feb. 20-22. It has shown resistance to antimicrobials like quinolone, fluroquinolone, ciprofloxacin and nalidixic acid. Researcher Theobold Smith first isolated salmonella enterica in 1885 from infected pigs. He named the bacteria after his supervisor, Dr. Daniel Salmon. Salmonella has been responsible for serious illness and death in the past. Typhoid fever is among the problem diseases, although Warriner said vaccination has almost eradicated it in developed countries.

NORTHLANDS FARM AND RANCH SHOW | EXOTIC LIVESTOCK

Alpaca fibres fine for spinners

PRIMERS / STARTERS / FOLIARS

Shearing and weaving | ‘No comparison’ to alpaca wool, says owner BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

EDMONTON — The exotic livestock business may not be what it once was, but there is still a market for alpacas and their fine fleece. “A lot of people who are trying to do the 100 mile diet are trying to do the 100 mile garment,” said Laurie Peeters of Namao, Alta. She has been in the business since 1999 and has 30 alpacas. She processes her wool at mills experienced in handling exotic fibres and sells it locally from the farm or at farmers markets. A shearing demonstration was part of the Northlands Farm and Ranch Show held April 4-6 in Edmonton. Shearing requires skill and strength to lift a wiggling 150 pound animal onto a special shearing table. The alpaca is strapped down on its side and shorn with specialized clippers to remove the valuable fleece. The result is seven to eight pounds of fine fleece that is sorted on a mesh covered table so the small bits fall through. Some spinners take the product directly to the spinning wheel while others send it to a commercial mill. Shearer Denise Gamroth used to clip up to 1,100 alpacas per year, but

she has cut back to 500 because she finds it physically taxing. She can clip four to five per hour. She learned the specialized technique at Olds College and had some practice on sheep, although the clipping process is different because of the nature of the fleece. Gamroth said fibre quality has improved since she got into the alpaca business 20 years ago when the first alpacas came from South America and Australia. She has 60 at her Battle River Alpacas ranch at Galahad, Alta. “There is no comparison,” she said. “The fibre is so much nicer and crimpy with more luster. The fibre is 100 times better.” For good quality fibre, each single piece needs to be finer than a human hair with a crimp to give the finished yarn body and memory so that it returns to its original shape after stretching. T h e av e ra g e f i b re i s 2 0 t o 3 6 microns, compared to more than 100 microns for a human hair. There are 15,000 alpacas in Canada with the majority in Alberta. There are two types of alpacas: huacaya and suri. The suri has long flowing fibre that curls into ringlets while the huacaya is more commonly seen with a thick, fluffy coat.

Even a herbicide-resistant variety can use a little help from a friend. In-crop foliar application of C3 (cereals and oilseeds) or P3 (pulses) has been specially formulated to help crops recover from early-season stresses, promote plant vigour, stimulate root growth and restore yield potential.

HOBBY | PIG PLANTERS

Worn out propane tanks turned into pig planters Recycling old tanks | Saskatchewan couple finds unique way to reuse the metal tanks BY JANIS SCHOLE FREELANCE WRITER

Eldon Bautz and his wife, Marie, turn discarded propane tanks into colourful plant stands. |

Working together es around power lin

PICKARDVILLE, Alta. — A Saskatchewan couple has found a n e w u s e f o r o b s o l e t e p ro p a n e tanks: transforming them into “pig planters.” “It’s a little hobby that my husband, Eldon, and I have,” says Marie Bautz, who lives near Humboldt. “I have five or six of them in the yard. My plants do so well in them and they look really nice. Our four adult kids all wanted some, too, and it has just continued to spread from there.” Portable propane tanks in the area were being thrown out when they no longer met safety requirements, but that was before the Bautzes put out the word that they had a use for them. “We get a lot from the Co-op and anyplace where propane is sold and tanks are refilled,” she said. “We’ve also had people we know give us tanks. We’re both working, so we make the planters in our spare time, especially in the winter when it’s a little more slack. Eldon is semiretired, so he doesn’t work in the winter.” The couple has 50 of the obsolete 20 pound tanks to work on. When starting a project, Eldon Bautz fills up the tank with water as a safety measure because of potential propane fumes inside. He then uses a plasma cutter to remove the unneeded parts and sandblasts them. Next, he drills several small holes in the bottom of each planter so that excess water can drain out. Bautz fashions the legs, ears and mouth from scrap iron and welds them to the body. The tail is a spring that’s welded to

the back of the tank, the legs are steel tubing, the ears are bigger steel tubing, the eyes and nose are washers and thin rod and the mouth is a piece of flat iron. It takes about a week to sandblast and cut all the pieces for six or seven planters. Once they are welded, the Bautzes sand down the welds until they’re smooth and then apply a metal primer and paint them. Marie said the planters get two to three coats of metal spray paint, and she applies the logos with fine brushes. “You have to wait for each colour to dry, so the time required for each one varies a lot, depending on how complex the colour scheme and logos are. I’ve done a lot of Canada flag ones — I call them my Canadian pigs — and many of those go to the States with friends who go south for the winter,” she said. “I’ve done a Saskatchewan Roughriders themed planter, and our sonin-law got a Boston Bruins one. We also had a soccer team that wanted to have their logo put on one. I usually get a copy of the logo, print it out, cut it out and either trace or copy freehand onto the tanks themselves, using a pencil.” The couple hasn’t had time yet, but are thinking about using a 100 lb. tank to make a sow and then using little camping tanks to make piglets for her. It will be their challenge for next winter, but they’re still looking for more small camping tanks to complete the project. The Bautzes have been selling their 20 lb. propane tank pig planter creations for $75 for a plain one, $85 for one with a custom logo and $85 for one with a football logo.

The complexity of the colour schemes and logos determines how long it takes to paint the pig planters.

Calgary ropes major multi-breed horse show Show jumping | Calgary’s Agrium Western Event Centre, currently under construction, will house the new show in 2014 BY WENDY DUDLEY FREELANCE WRITER

CALGARY — Calgary is about to rope another huge horse event. This one is an international equine extravaganza that will feature multibreeds participating in English and Western disciplines. The 10-day event, expected to debut in October 2014, is the brain child of Canadian Olympic show jumper John Anderson. It will feature top class competition as well as junior and amateur events. Show jumping will be the focus of the evening shows, while daily events will include heavy horse pulls, barrel racing, dressage, hunter classes, mounted gunfighters, the RCMP Musical Ride, pony chariot races and trick roping and riding. The indoor show will be held in the Calgary Stampede’s new Agrium Western Event Centre, now under construction but scheduled to open in June 2014. “I want to have a little of everything. People want action. They want to be entertained,” said Anderson, who has named the event Royal West. “I want it to complement the horse shows in Manitoba and the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto. Everyone loves the Royal, so why not have something like that here. The West has become a real powerhouse in show jumping.” The Toronto horse show is held in November, which would allow competitors to take advantage of both Royal shows, he said. “Or maybe we could have an EastWest challenge.” Anderson grew up with the annual Calgary International Horse Show, held every spring at the Calgary Stampede exhibition grounds. Known as a light horse show to differentiate it from draft horse shows, it

Anderson said that was 30 years ago, and the city has not had a downtown major horse event since then, other than rodeos. “I made my open jumper debut at the Calgary Horse Show in 1984,” he said. “I was 17 and was on a horse named Wisconsin. That was the last year there was show jumping in downtown Calgary.” After that, jumping moved to rural locations on the southern edge of the city, including Anderson’s ranch, which he turned into the Rocky Mountain Show Jumping venue, and the

world-renowned Spruce Meadows. Anderson envisions Royal West as an event that will draw top competitors but also children, junior and amateur events. “It will give developing riders a chance to perform in front of a huge crowd.” Anderson hopes it will also inject a sense of excitement and fun into equine events, which he said can at times be lost in serious competitive sport. “I loved those shows. There was a circuit, and everyone you knew went to them. They were a lot of fun, and we had a ball.” Royal West has been a dream of Anderson’s for 10 years. He toured

various venues, including Edmonton’s Northlands and B.C. Place in Vancouver, but settled on Calgary. “Some places were old and cost prohibitive to upgrade.” He said the Calgary Exhibition’s new 150,000 sq. foot agricultural and western event complex is the ideal venue, with a large competition arena, ample stalling and seating for 2,500. The Stampede is supporting the event. “This is John’s baby, and we’re thrilled to have it,” said Calgary Stampede media relations manager Doug Fraser. Anderson said staging a downtown event that showcases English and

Western horse events helps connect urban and rural horse enthusiasts. “And that bridge between city and country is something the Stampede is always trying to build. It’s the perfect place for this.” It was big thinking that grew Anderson’s Rocky Mountain Show Jumping venue into a top facility, and he has the same dreams for Royal West. “It won’t happen in the first year, but maybe we could have a $1 million event there. I mean, why not? That’s my goal.” In the meantime, there’s lots of work to be done. “I have 550 days until opening night. It’s still in its infancy, but I’m getting a lot of interest.”

Monsanto raises profit forecast

ConAgra profit shortfall due to acquisition

CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — Monsanto, the world’s largest seed company, has raised its full-year profit forecast after reporting a better-than-expected second quarter driven by strength in its global corn business. Its shares rose 1.5 percent after the company, a leading developer of genetically modified corn, soybeans and other crops, said it expects to sell a record amount of corn this year as it expands product offerings and deepens its penetration in Latin America. Strong corn sales in the United States, where farmers are preparing to plant spring crops, and Brazil drove second-quarter results. “There is no doubt that our corn business is having an extremely strong year,” Monsanto president Brett Begemann said in a conference call. The company raised its fiscal 2013 earnings forecast by 10 cents US a share to a range of $4.40 to $4.50 per share before certain aftertax items. That compares with a target set in January of $4.30 to $4.40 per share. The outlook for net earnings for the full year was raised to $4.42 to $4.52 a share, up from $4.31 to $4.41. Monsanto said net earnings in the second quarter, ended Feb. 28, were $1.48 billion, or $2.74 a share, up from $1.21 billion, or $2.24 a share, a year earlier.

CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — ConAgra Foods has reported a sharp drop in third-quarter profit, mainly due to costs related to its Ralcorp acquisition, but the maker of Chef Boyardee pastas and Hunt’s ketchup maintained its forecast for full-year adjusted profit. ConAgra closed its $5 billion US acquisition of Ralcorp in January, making it the leading U.S. manufacturer of store-branded foods. Net profit fell to $120 million, or 29 cents per share, in the quarter ended Feb. 24, from $280.1 million, or 68 cents per share, a year earlier. Acquisition-related costs hurt quarterly earnings by 16 cents per share, the company said. On an adjusted basis, ConAgra earned 55 cents per share, just shy of the average analyst estimate of 56 cents. But the company maintained its full-year earnings forecast of at least $2.15 per share. Ralcorp, which contributed 27 days of sales and earnings to the third quarter, is expected to add five cents per share to ConAgra’s adjusted fiscal 2013 profit. Third-quarter sales rose 13 percent to $3.85 billion, with Ralcorp contributing $292 million in sales and 5 million in operating profit. Analysts on average had expected total revenue of $3.87 billion, according to Thomson Reuters business information service.

CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — Louis Dreyfus Commodities, one of the world’s largest agricultural traders, has reported its largest-ever annual profit on robust global demand for food products and historically high crop prices after a severe U.S. drought. The privately held company said in an annual report that net earnings jumped 25 percent to $1.1 billion US in 2012, excluding a $93 million loss in BioSev, the company’s ring-fenced Brazilian sugarcane milling business, which suffered from low cane yields and low ethanol prices. The profit surpassed its previous record of $962 million in 2010. Louis Dreyfus, like its agribusiness rivals such as Cargill and Bunge, responded to a sharp decline in U.S. crop output last year by supplying its customers with products from other origins such as South America and Europe. Louis Dreyfus accounted for more than nine percent of global agricultural trade after transporting and

Oil company moves into grains LONDON, U.K. (Reuters) — Top oil trader Vitol has started trading in global grains markets, the company says. Reuters reported in February that Vitol was building a global grains desk, taking advantage of Glencore’s takeover of Canadian grains giant Viterra by hiring a team of its traders. Vitol, which has an annual turnover of around $300 billion, will trade grain and other agricultural commodities from Singapore and Geneva, supported by teams based in Vancouver and Hamburg. “Trading agricultural products builds on our core strengths in logistics and understanding of global markets,” Ian Taylor, president and chief executive of the Vitol Group, said in a statement. The new team is headed by Vancouver-based Don Chapman, previously senior vice-president with Viterra.

PULSE CROPS

AGFINANCE

India extends export ban into next year MUMBAI, India (Reuters) — India has extended a ban on export of pulses by a year to March 2014 to bolster supplies at home and keep a lid on local prices, a government statement said. The world’s biggest producer and consumer of pulses had initially banned the exports in June 2006. It has been extending the ban since then. Traders can still export kabuli chana, a premium grade chickpea, and 10,000 tonnes of organic pulses and lentils a year, the statement posted on a government website said. Although food inflation slowed down to 11.38 percent last month from 11.88 percent in January, it stayed in double digits for the third straight month, prompting Moody’s to say high food inflation is a negative for the country’s sovereign ratings. India annually consumes about 20 million tonnes of pulses but produces only 17 to 18 million tonnes, depending on imports from Myanmar, Australia and Canada to bridge the shortfall.

British PM not afraid to wade into the muck LONDON, U.K. (Reuters) — Bogged down by a stagnating economy and sinking poll ratings, British prime minister David Cameron

ventured into a new swamp when he waded waist-deep into mud to rescue a drowning sheep. Cameron was on his way back from visiting a farmer near his weekend home in the Oxfordshire countryside last month when he heard bleating and spotted a ewe that had got stuck in the mud after following her two lambs. In jeans and rubber boots, Cameron waded into the swamp, followed by his two bodyguards, wrestled the sodden sheep and hoisted it onto safe ground, the Sun newspaper reported. “When I got there, David (Cameron) was in the swamp, waist-deep in mud, along with the two police, who had all gone in there to help drag this sheep out,” farmer Julian Tustian told the Daily Telegraph. “He was brilliant, pulling, pushing and shoving. He was covered in mud, he looked a mess.”

TS ON NOW UN

CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — U.S. farmers who tasted record-high prices for corn during last summer’s historic drought are abandoning long-held selling strategies in hopes that the market serves up another rally. Farmers say they are turning away from the traditional practice of making early sales of corn, the most widely produced grain in the United States, after missing out on big profits when prices peaked last September. In the spring, they typically strike deals to sell a portion of the crop they expect to harvest in the fall to cover some costs for items like seed and fertilizer. The practice, known as forward selling or forward contracting, normally provides good returns for farmers before prices dip with the start of the fall harvest. The lack of advance sales this year is creating pain for buyers like food and animal-feed companies, which like to lock in purchases of corn early in the year to map out some of their costs and ensure they will have a supply of grain. Illinois farmer Rod Weinzierl said he has not sold a bushel of his 2013 corn crop yet after losing out on several dollars per bushel by selling too early in 2012. Usually by the end of March he has sold about 20 percent of the crop he expects to harvest in the fall. “People are more gun-shy this year because they got burned last year,” said Weinzierl, who leads the Illinois Corn Marketing Board. National data on forward contracting does not exist. Grain growers, merchandisers and marketers estimate that the average pace of selling has at least been cut in half this year. The U.S. Department of Agriculture offered farmers little incentive to sell last week by issuing an estimate for larger-thanexpected grain inventories, which sparked the market’s biggest twoday sell-off in history.

March with one or two cargoes to China at the end of the month.” Big Argentine and Brazilian exports are needed in early 2013 to relieve the tight global soybean market after a small U.S. crop had to carry the world supply burden in recent months. But new crop shipments from Brazil have been disappointing in past weeks as the country’s ports and transport network struggled to cope with huge volumes ordered by global soybean consumers. The slow pace of exporting Brazilian soybean and corn has prompted China to switch some orders to the United States and cancel or push back shipments from Brazil until later in the year. Increasing Argentine soybean exports will improve the overall South American export performance in April and coming months, Oil World said.

PORT OF CHURCHILL | EXPORTS

Feasibility of expanded Arctic shipping examined Longer season sought | Information on sea ice and conditions studied STORIES BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

DAUPHIN, Man. — David Barber’s audiences always ask the same question when he travels to China and Russia: when will it be possible to ship through the Arctic Ocean? Answering that question has become much easier over the last few years, says Barber, Canada research chair in Arctic-system science at the University of Manitoba. “Shipping across the pole is now open, as of 2010. In 2011 it was open and 2012 it was open again,” Barber told the Hudson Bay Route Association’s (HBRA) annual meeting in Dauphin April 3. “The Northwest Passage has been open seven times out of the last eight (years)…. The northeast (Russian) passage route opened up about seven years ago. So all the northern sea routes are open, at least for part of the year.” The HBRA has contracted Barber to study the sea ice conditions in Hudson Bay in an effort to demonstrate that there is more open water in the north. “It all leads back to trying to extend the (shipping) season,” said HBRA president Sinclair Harrison. “We just can’t go to Lloyds of London (an insurer) and say we want the season extended. You have to have the science…. He (Barber) has got that in spades. He’s world recognized.” Grain and other commodities are shipped out of Churchill for three

The Port of Churchill could extend its shipping season if scientific evidence supports the concept that sea routes are remaining open longer. | FILE PHOTO

months a year, but Harrison would like it extended to four or five months. Barber directs the scientific efforts at a new U of M Arctic research facility, which the university officially opened in March. He also manages an international team of scientists on an Arctic research ship, the Amundsen. For the Hudson Bay project, Barber and his team are employing a new

computer model to forecast how the duration and thickness of sea ice is expected to change. The sophisticated model requires a substantial amount of computing horsepower, so it will take a few years to crunch the numbers. “The model is up and running … (but) we haven’t done our first projections with it yet,” he said. “It takes about six months of computer time to project 20 years into the future.” The model will be done on Westgrid, a supercomputer network in western Canada. It will likely take three years to gen-

erate a comprehensive forecast of Hudson Bay sea ice conditions. Barber said sea ice conditions in the Arctic are changing more rapidly than he envisioned. When he first travelled to the Arctic 30 years ago, he never thought he would see ships navigating the high Arctic in the summer. However, a Chinese research vessel with ice reinforcement, which offers less protection than an icebreaker, nearly made it to the North Pole in 2010. “They ended up going all the way to 89 degrees North,” said Barber, who

grew up in Dauphin. “The ice conditions were so deteriorated that the ship could go. They could have gone right across the pole … but the reason they didn’t is they didn’t have enough fuel on board the ship.” As another example of how quickly things are changing, Barber said more than 1,200 tourist ships have sailed through the Northwest Passage in the last three years. “It’s everything from a sailing vessel to this thing called The World (a cruise ship).” China and Russia are fascinated with the possibility of melting Arctic ice because open water offers an opportunity to cut shipping times and develop petroleum and mining resources in the north, he added. Computer models suggest the Arctic Ocean will be ice free in the summer in the second half of the century. However, data indicates the ice is melting more rapidly than forecasted. “My most recent estimates are somewhere between 2013 and 2030,” Barber said. Harrison said it bodes well for grain shipments out of Churchill. Of course, how it affects the planet is a much larger question. Barber, who takes a pragmatic approach to climate change, said Ellesmere Island was semi-tropical 65 million years ago and covered in vegetation. In other words, the planet can adjust to higher carbon dioxide levels and warmer temperatures. “We’re not destroying the planet. We’re just destroying our ow n habitat.”

CLIMATE CHANGE | ADAPTABILITY

Agriculture must adjust to variable temperatures DAUPHIN, Man. — A University of Winnipeg scientist has been predicting for the last several years that the climate of southern Manitoba may soon resemble Nebraska. This would mean that in a matter of decades, Manitobans will apply more sunscreen to cope with 30 degree days in the summer. While it’s true that climate change will make the southern Prairies warmer, western Canadian farmers should be particularly concerned about weather variability, said David Barber, an Arctic and climate change expert at the University of Manitoba. “(Based on) the trends, you can say on average we’re going to look more like Nebraska,” Barber told the Hudson Bay Route Association annual meeting in Dauphin April 3. “Unfortunately, the variability is going to be higher. That’s variability in temperature and precipitation…. If you’re a farmer, you have to start thinking about how you do agriculture in those kinds of conditions.” He said there is evidence that the climate is already more variable.

Data suggests that the Rossby Wave, an atmospheric pattern related to polar air moving south and warm equatorial air moving north, is oscillating at a slower rate. “If you look at a weather forecast (on TV), you will see a wave … going around the planet,” Barber said. “Scientifically it’s called the Rossby Wave. Typically people talk about it as what’s going on with the jet stream. The jet stream is set up between this gradient (in temperature) between the Arctic and the southerly latitudes of the planet.” Barber said the temperature gradient from north to south is changing and slowing the speed of the Rossby Wave. As a result, periods of cold weather and warm spells are lasting longer. Or, in scientific terms, weather is becoming more persistent. “If you have a weather system that is drier, that weather system (now) stays over you for a longer period of time,” Barber said. “This persistence pattern is related to the fact that we are losing ice cover in the Northern Hemisphere.”

U.S. WINTER WHEAT | OUTLOOK

Winter wheat vulnerable in southern U.S. Plains Worst in South Dakota | Seventy-six percent of the winter wheat crop has been rated poor to very poor CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — The U.S. winter wheat crop is off to its worst start in early April in 11 years, hobbled by poor soil moisture in the southern Plains. The region is dry despite recent storms that brought precipitation to a few areas. “We are better than we have been in a while as far as having moisture on the surface, but we are still in a drought from a deep-profile moisture standpoint,” said Mark Hodges, executive director of Plains Grains Inc. in Stillwater, Oklahoma. The U.S. Department of Agriculture said in its first weekly national crop progress report that 34 percent of the U.S. winter wheat crop was rated in good to excellent condition. The figure was the lowest for this time of year since 2002, another dry

year when 31 percent of the crop was rated good to excellent. On the other end of the ratings scale, the department said 30 percent of the wheat crop was rated in poor to very poor condition, up from 12 percent a year ago but down from 32 percent in 2011. Ratings were poorest in the Plains, which produces hard red winter wheat. The outlook is better in Midwestern states, which produce soft red winter wheat. The Midwest crop has benefited from better moisture. In Kansas, the USDA said 31 percent of the crop was rated good to excellent. That was up from 29 percent a week earlier, according to the NASS Kansas field office. “The northwest part of Kansas has gotten some pretty fair snowfall in

the last two to three weeks, but ... we still have not had widespread soaking rains, and that’s what we are going to need in the month of April,” said Bill Spiegel, spokesperson for the Kansas Wheat Commission. “Dry weather is still the limiting factor at this point,” Spiegel said. Ratings in Oklahoma were unchanged from a week earlier, with 27 percent rated good to excellent. Half the state’s crop was in the jointing stage of growth, lagging the five-year average of 65 percent. The delayed maturity may have helped protect the crop when temperatures dipped below freezing at the end of March, hitting -11 C at Erick, Okla., according to NASS’s Oklahoma field office. Wheat becomes more vulnerable to frost damage as it matures and loses

its winter-hardiness. “We may have some limited (frost) damage, but as a general rule, I think we are still in pretty good shape. It’s going to be another four to five days before we can assess it,” Hodges said. Wheat ratings fell in Texas, where 16 percent of the crop was rated good to excellent, down from 19 percent a week earlier. But the poorest ratings were in South Dakota, where two percent of the winter wheat was rated good, none was excellent and 76 percent was rated poor to very poor. Similarly, in Nebraska, 10 percent of the wheat crop was rated good and none as excellent, and subsoil moisture was rated short to very short across 96 percent of the state. “Some areas might see some continued improvement, but overall we

will be pretty vulnerable heading into summer,” said climatologist Mark Svoboda of the University of Nebraska’s National Drought Mitigation Center. Corn planting expanded in a few southern states, although soil temperatures in the core corn states of Iowa and Illinois remain too cold for seeding. Texas farmers had seeded 54 percent of their corn, ahead of the fiveyear average of 48 percent. Arkansas corn was 22 percent seeded, behind the five-year average of 32 percent. In Louisiana, corn planting was 95 percent complete, topping the fiveyear average of 84 percent. The USDA says U.S. farmers intend to plant 97.3 million acres of corn this year, the most since 1936.

COUNTRY OF ORIGIN | CANADA-EU TRADE

Livestock origin remains hurdle in EU trade deal Canada’s position is that a cow or pig slaughtered in Canada should be considered Canadian WINNIPEG (Reuters) — Rules about recognizing the origin of cattle and pigs slaughtered in Canada are one of the sticking points in free trade talks w ith the European Union, says Canada’s chief agriculture negotiator. Canada hopes to win greater access for its beef and pork in Europe, while the EU wants a foothold in Canada’s protected agriculture sectors, especially dairy. Talks on a comprehensive deal are expected to finish this year, but one outstanding issue concerns rules of origin, said Frederic Seppey, chief negotiator for Agriculture Canada. The issue is whether the EU will give preferential access to all meat processed in Canada, given the strong integration of the North American livestock market. Canadian and U.S. farmers freely move livestock across the border to take advantage of the lowest feeding costs and highest slaughter prices. The EU has not agreed that all meat slaughtered and processed in Canada is considered of Canadian origin. It takes into consideration where the livestock was born and raised. Canada’s position is that slaughtering and cutting up a cow or pig is a significant enough step that the end product should be recognized as Canadian, even if the animal was born or fattened to market weight in the United States, Seppey said. “We don’t want beef that has been processed in Canada and perhaps is from cattle that were born in Canada but fed in the U.S. to be prevented from getting the potential preferential treatment,” Seppey said in an interview during the Canada Grains Council meeting in Winnipeg. “In our trade agreements, we are always advocating that slaughter is

We are within reach of an agreement, the final stages. It would be such a shame to not conclude. FREDERIC SEPPEY AGRICULTURE CANADA NEGOTIATOR

enough of a transformation to confer origin.” EU negotiators are hesitant to concede the point because Canadian slaughter plants import livestock from the United States, as well as buy domestically. The issue would likely disappear once the U.S. and the EU negotiate their own trade deal, but those talks are just beginning, nearly four years behind Canada-EU negotiations. “We are within reach of an agreement, the final stages. It would be such a shame to not conclude,” Seppey said, adding that he expects the two sides to eventually find a solution on the livestock origin issue. Other outstanding issues include access for pharmaceuticals and automobiles, he said. Canada is the third-biggest pork shipper after the U.S. and the EU and the sixth biggest exporter of beef and veal. European Union countries are collectively the world’s third biggest beef and veal producer and the second largest pork producer. Canada is seeking to diversify its trade away from the U.S., which now takes 75 percent of all Canadian exports. The EU takes slightly more than 10 percent. Canada has said that a free trade agreement with the EU could increase that by 20 percent. Total trade of agriculture and food products between Canada and the EU amounts to $6.6 billion.

PARIS, France (Reuters) — A late blast of winter weather has put further strain on struggling rapeseed and wheat crops in France and the United Kingdom, say analysts and traders. It could also limit prospects for spring varieties across Western Europe. The freezing weather is not expected to cause significant frost damage, with European Union crop monitoring unit MARS projecting the bloc will stay free of winterkill losses up to the end of March. However, it may hamper the recovery of rapeseed and wheat in France and the U.K., which saw poor seeding and growth conditions, most visibly in a rain-soaked Britain. Crop damage and delays are causing concern in the market, considering the need to replenish tight grain stocks. Losses to EU wheat may also curb global supply at a time when U.S. wheat is facing a cold snap after a long drought. Below-average temperatures were forecast to continue across the northern half of Europe lat week, including light frosts, but it should be followed by milder conditions the following week. Winter crop abandonment in Britain is expected to far exceed normal levels, with rapeseed most at risk. “We had an estimate of 20 percent of the drilled (rapeseed) area which was of questionable viability through the winter,” said Susan Twining, an analyst with crop consultants ADAS. “Of that, I would say about half will ultimately be replaced.” Less than one percent of the rapeseed area is lost over winter in a normal growing season in Britain, while losses are usually even lower for winter wheat and winter barley. Twining said five to seven percent of the winter wheat and barley area had been of questionable viability, estimating that half of that would eventually be dug up. The heavy rain that made 2012 the wettest year on record in Britain had already disrupted the seeding campaign, reducing the winter wheat area by 25 percent. Concerns are also focused on rapeseed and the size of the lost area in France, which is the EU’s top crop producer. “It’s too soon to be able to assess the impact of resowings on the final area,

but we’ll be below the (3.7 million acres) estimated by the farm ministry in February,” one trader said. The farm ministry, whose current rapeseed estimate is five percent lower than the area harvested in 2012, is due to update its crop area figures later this month. The recent cold spell, coming after a wet February, has also hampered seeding of spring crops and could force some growers to leave weak rapeseed plants in the field. “Farmers are no longer sure what to replace their poorer rapeseed with,” said Fabien Lagarde of the oilseed institute Cetiom. “It’s too late for spring barley and peas. (Corn) isn’t always suitable and there are some supply snags with sunflower seed.” Wheat is in better shape than rapeseed but is running behind its usual growth pace because of the mix of wet and cold weather. Farm agency FranceAgriMer rated two-thirds of soft wheat crops as good or excellent as of March 18, in line with the year-ago level. However, MARS sees winter crops at two weeks behind normal growth pace in the northern half of the country. In Germany, delays to spring seeding were starting to raise concerns after favourable conditions for winter crops. “Grain and rapeseed plants have up to now coped satisfactorily with the long continuation of winter weather,” said German farmers’ association DBV. “During the icy frost periods, plants have been protected by snow, which prevented them drying out.” Germany is set to harvest 23.5 million tonnes of wheat of all types in 2013, up from 22.3 million tonnes in 2012, and 5.38 million tonnes of rapeseed, up from 4.8 million last year, according to the German Farm Co-operatives Association. “Spring grain sowings are now around three weeks overdue and have hardly started in much of Germany,” another German analyst said. “The rule with spring sowings is the later they are drilled the lower the yield, but things can change with favourable summer weather, of course.”

Extreme weather Down Under? Climate report says preventive action needed

SYDNEY, Australia (Reuters) — Australia’s most productive agricultural areas face a greater risk of extreme weather from climate change in coming decades, including a higher number of droughts, says a new report. The report from the country’s Climate Commission said extreme weather events such as heat waves, floods, bush fires and cyclones are already becoming more intense, highlighting the need to take rapid action on climate change and mitigate the impact. “There is little doubt that over the next few decades, changes in these extreme events will increase the risks of adverse consequences to human health, agriculture, infrastructure and the environment,” it said. All the climate models used in the report projected a significant increase in the number of droughts across southwestern and southeast-

ern Australia. These regions are important agricultural areas and include coastal strips that are home to most of the country’s nearly 23 million people. The commission projected a fall in rainfall across the two regions of up to 10 percent by 2030. Australia is a major supplier of food to Asian markets and is the world’s second-largest exporter of wheat and third-largest shipper of raw sugar and beef. It produced 22 million tonnes of wheat in the latest season, down more than a quarter from the previous year’s record harvest. Yields suffered from unseasonably dry weather in Western Australia, the country’s largest grain producing state. Flooding is also forecast to increase because of warmer temperatures, while heavy rainfall associated with cyclones was also expected to be more severe.

WHEAT | CHINA EXPORTS

Poor gluten may hurt Canada’s reputation China may look to U.S. | CIGI is helping wheat buyers make adjustments in milling WINNIPEG (Reuters) — China’s state-owned agricultural trading company has complained about the poor baking performance of Canadian wheat shipments and has suggested it may import more U.S. wheat instead, Canadian officials say. COFCO raised concerns about weak gluten strength in some Canadian wheat shipments last month with a visiting delegation from the Canadian International Grains Institute, said CIGI chief executive officer Earl Geddes. He told a Canada Grains Council meeting in Winnipeg April 2 that COFCO officials told the delegation that if the problem isn’t corrected, COFCO may import more Dark Northern Spring (DNS) wheat from the United States instead of Canada Western Red Spring (CWRS). “It’s damaging the consistency part of the (Canadian wheat) brand as much as anything,” Geddes said in an interview during the meeting. “I don’t think this is insurmountable in any way, to where the Canadian wheat brand will lose its position.” Canada is the world’s biggest exporter of spring wheat and highly regarded by importers for its topquality supplies. China is the world’s second-biggest wheat producer after the European Union, but also buys Canadian spring wheat for flour used in baking. Gluten protein is important for keeping the shape of baked goods through the baking process. Some CWRS wheat has displayed weak gluten strength in the past two years, possibly because of farmers growing different wheat varieties, Geddes said. Elwin Hermanson, chief commissioner of the Canadian Grain Com-

mission, said European buyers of Canadian wheat have also raised concerns about gluten strength. “I don’t think it’s widespread or it’s serious to the point of doing irreparable damage to Canada’s reputation,” Hermanson said. “But I think we’re hearing some warnings that we should probably take seriously.” The problem predates the end of CWB’s western wheat marketing monopoly, which ended last year. Inconsistent gluten strength hasn’t been as big an issue for Canada Bread Company Ltd., the baker y unit owned by Maple Leaf Foods Inc. “In our experience, it comes and goes,” said Barry McLean, president of fresh bakery at Canada Bread. “I wouldn’t say that the last couple of years have been noticeably worse.” CIGI is conducting field research this year in an effort to fix the problem ahead of the 2014 crop, Geddes said. In the meantime, CIGI is helping buyers make adjustments to the milling or baking process to deal with unexpected gluten weakness in some supplies. The wheat in question doesn’t perform differently during milling, but problems have emerged during bread baking, Geddes said. “There are all kinds of different ways to deal with it and if you know that, you can help them with it. (COFCO) are saying, ‘well, might be just as easy to go to DNS.’ We’re saying, ‘no, don’t do that yet.’ “ China is already an attractive market for U.S. exporters, offering plenty of opportunity to supply spring and winter wheat for blending with China’s domestic supplies, said Shannon Schlecht, vice-president of policy at U.S. Wheat Associates.

New bird flu blamed for deaths in China The source of H7N9 virus is not known

BEIJING, China (Reuters) — China has reported new cases of a strain of bird flu that was previously unknown in humans but has already killed five people. The announcement raises the total of known cases to 14. The World Health Organization said there was no evidence that the H7N9 strain could be transmitted between people, but that it was investigating the outbreak. The new patients in China’s eastern Jiangsu province were all in critical condition and receiving emergency treatment, the Xinhua News Agency said, citing the Jiangsu provincial health bureau. A woman in Anghui province who caught the virus in early March is also in critical condition. No mutual infection was discovered in any of the cases, Xinhua said. A group of 255 people identified by authorities to have had close contact with the H7N9 victims have also not shown any flu symptoms, it said. The WHO said the cases had shown no evidence of human-to-human transmission, but there were questions to answer about the source of the infection and the mode of transmission. In Hong Kong, authorities activated the preliminary “Alert Response Level” under a preparedness plan for an influenza pandemic, which calls for close monitoring of chicken farms, vaccination, culling drills, and a suspension of imports of live birds from the mainland. All passengers on flights in and out of Hong Kong were being asked to notify flight attendants or airport staff if they were feeling unwell. Vietnam said it had banned poultry imports from China, citing the risk from H7N9. In Beijing, the Health Ministry said the government would swiftly communicate details of the new strain to the outside world and its own people, following complaints it had been too slow to report on the outbreak and suspicion of a cover-up. Chinese internet users and some newspapers have questioned why it

took so long for the government to announce the new cases, especially as two of the victims fell ill in February. The government has said it needed time to correctly identify the virus. China has a poor record when it comes to dealing with bad news. It is often covered up by officials fearing it may attract unwanted attention from superiors and damage promotion prospects, despite government efforts to enhance transparency. In 2003, Beijing initially tried to cover up an epidemic of severe acute respiratory syndrome, which emerged in China and killed about a tenth of the 8,000 people it infected worldwide. Some Chinese have complained that authorities took too long before announcing the most recent deaths, though the WHO says the government acted properly. Wu Fan, chief doctor and director general of the Shanghai Municipal Center for Disease Control, said the government had acted as quickly as it possibly could. “In this situation, to take 20 days to identify and confirm a new virus is already considered short,” she said. “We cannot say for certain or confirm if it was a case of a human catching an avian virus or an avian virus changing and becoming a new human flu virus.” Ian Jones, a professor of virology at Britain’s University of Reading, said there was no cause for alarm. “At the moment I don’t think it’s anything more than an unusual set of isolated cases,” he said. Experts consider three types of avian influenza — H5, H7 and H9 —to be a potential threat to humans. Jones said authorities should be watchful but need not enact emergency measures because there is no evidence of human-to-human transmission or of clusters of cases around the few that have been confirmed. “Of course we need to take account of these cases and follow up the contacts and so on, but I think that’s where it rests at the moment,” Jones said. “It’s far too soon to assume this is the start of something.”

INFLUENZA AT THE HUMAN-ANIMAL INTERFACE Influenza viruses circulating in animals pose threats to human health. Humans can be exposed to these viruses, such as avian influenza virus subtypes H5N1 and H9N2 and swine influenza virus subtypes H1N1 and H3N2, in many ways:

• People may come in contact with infected animals through their work, when visiting live animal markets or when these animals are kept as part of the household. • People can be exposed when they handle or slaughter infected animals or work with raw meat and byproducts from infected animals. • Exposure may occur when people contact items around them that are contaminated, such as animal housing areas and equipment, ponds and other water sources, feces, and feathers. In some cases these zoonotic

infections (infections in humans acquired from an animal source) result in severe disease or even death in humans, but often these infections result in only a mild illness or appear to cause no illness at all. Human infections with animal influenza viruses are a concern. If these viruses become able to spread from human to human, they could spark a pandemic. All of the past four pandemic influenza viruses have contained gene components originating in animals. Recent findings suggest that influenza viruses in animals and humans circulate among multiple hosts, and that the potential exists for new influenza viruses to be generated in swine and other animals. This situation reinforces the need for close monitoring and collaboration between public health and veterinary authorities. Source: World Health Organization

CONSERVATION | ANTELOPE

Researchers study wildlife friendly fences Alberta, Saskatchewan, Montana project | Alternatives sought for low barbed-wired fences that pose a hazard to migrating antelope BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

P3, a female pronghorn antelope, crossed hundreds of barbed-wire fences, dozens of roads, several rivers and the Trans-Canada Highway in 2003. The animal’s collar allowed wildlife conservation researchers to track its migration from southeastern Alberta near Manyberries to an area around Unity, Sask., and then back to Canadian Forces Base Suffield north of Medicine Hat, Alta. “She walked about 445 kilometres in a three-week period,” said Paul Jones, senior biologist with the Alberta Conservation Association. But that was just one way. Somewhere in the course of that year, P3 fawned, seems to have lost the fawns and finally dropped its collar so that researchers could analyze its contents. Migration and movement don’t happen easily for antelope in many cases, Jones told a recent session of the Wildlife in the Wind speaker series in Lethbridge. Fences are significant barriers for animals that must crawl under them to traverse their range. Animal and conservation groups are working to encourage wildlifefriendly fences that can ease antelope travel. P3 has helped their efforts, said Jones. “She was sort of our poster child for getting this collaboration work that’s going on between Alberta, Saskatchewan and Montana looking at conservation.” Research has also involved the placement of motion-activated cameras along fence lines to see how antelope interact with barriers. The cameras show considerable time is spent walking back and forth along fences as the animals seek a suitable crossing point. Jones showed photos of antelope with exposed flesh and scars on their backs where damage has been inflicted by low barbed wire fences. The ACA, the Alberta Fish and Game Association and other groups are now encouraging the use of wildlife friendly fences with a smooth wire on the bottom at least 45 centimetres off the ground. Jones said rancher reaction to the idea has been mixed. “There’s variation right across the

board when you talk to some of the ranchers,” he said. “Some want (fences) really low, 12 inches (30 cm). Others say they’ve already got their fences at 20 inches (50 cm) and don’t have a problem.” Those lukewarm to the idea of a higher bottom strand tend to worry about calves escaping from pastures, but Jones said calves that can get under the fence could easily get back inside enclosures to rejoin their mothers. He suggested ranchers try a wildlife-friendly fence on an interior site to see how it works. If no problems occur, they might consider altering their perimeter fences. Alberta Fish and Game and volunteers it has organized have altered 600 km of fence line in the province by replacing the bottom strand of barbed wire with double strands of smooth wire, and raising it to 45 cm. Jones said at that rate it would take 400 years to alter the 67,000 km of fence that could affect antelope. Though volunteer fencing bees will continue this year, he said other strategies are needed to make swifter progress. That is slowly occurring. As an example, he said volunteers altered 75 percent of the northern boundary along the CFB Suffield base in 2009. A year later, the military completed the entire perimeter, 120 km. The Aeolian Recreational Boundary Institute has also made “pronghorn emancipation” one of its projects. Jones said current research involves “goat bars,” which are lengths of PVC pipe inside which the bottom two wires of fences can be contained. That makes a smooth, higher place in the fence for antelope to squeeze under. The bars can be installed and uninstalled within minutes, said Jones. Goat bars are so named because some Americans refer to antelope as “speed goats.” Trail cams have shown that antelope are reluctant to use the goat bars unless they are along known crossing sites. Even then, results are mixed, said Jones. So far, white PVC has been used. Other colours might be less threatening for antelope, or other factors might be affecting the animals’ use of the bars. Research continues.

PRONGHORN ANTELOPE FACTS • Pronghorn antelope (Antilocapra americana) are among the fastest mammals in North America, reaching speeds of more than 85 km-h. They can also travel for long distances at half that speed. Pronghorns have excellent vision, enabling them to spot faraway threats on the open grasslands they inhabit. In Canada, common range is in southeastern Alberta and southwestern Saskatchewan.

• Weight: 90 to 150 pounds.

• Size: One metre tall at the shoulders.

• Lifespan: Approximately 10 years.

• Colour: Reddish brown with white stomach, white rump and white stripes at throat. • Horns: Both sexes have backward curving horns with forward pointing prongs, hence the name pronghorn. • Diet: They are cud-chewing herbivores that favour grass, sagebrush and other vegetation.

Two former Canadian Food Inspection Agency researchers face charges involving the unsafe transportation of pathogens that can cause brucellosis. The RCMP have charged former CFIA scientists Klaus Nielsen and Wei Ling Yu with breach of trust by a public officer following a criminal investigation that also involved the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) and the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. The criminal investigation, nicknamed Project Sentimental, began after the CFIA contacted RCMP in March of 2011. The investigation focused on alleged efforts by Nielsen and Yu to commercialize intellectual property belonging to the CFIA and a private commercial partner. Last October, RCMP and Ottawa police say they intercepted Nielsen as he was heading to the Ottawa airport. The former CFIA scientist was arrested, searched and found in possession of 17 vials containing live pathogens that he was attempting to export in an unsafe manner. The vials were confiscated, analyzed by PHAC and found to contain live brucella bacteria that can infect humans and livestock. Nielsen faces one charge under the Criminal Code and several others under the Export and Import Permits Act, the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act and the Human Pathogens and Toxins Act. He is scheduled to appear in court April 17 in Ottawa. RCMP have also issued a Canada wide warrant for Yu. Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease,

meaning it can be spread from animals to humans. There are several kinds of brucellosis including bovine brucellosis, which affects cattle, bison and elk, porcine brucellosis, which affects pigs, and ovine brucellosis, which affects goats and sheep. According to the CFIA website, the disease is present to some degree in most countries of the world, although Canada’s livestock is believed to be free of the disease. Canada initiated an eradication program for bovine brucellosis in livestock in the 1940s and the country’s livestock herd was declared free of the disease in 1985. Several isolated cases were subsequently identified, with the last known case occurring in a cattle herd in Saskatchewan in 1989, according to the CFIA. The brucellosis-free status of Canadian livestock is maintained by a series of measures aimed at limiting the movement of brucellosis pathogens, detecting infected animals as early as possible through surveillance, and thoroughly investigating all suspected cases of the disease that are reported to CFIA. Confirmed infections found in livestock are controlled through the mandatory slaughter of all infected and exposed animals. Brucellosis is a reportable disease in Canada, meaning any suspected cases must be reported to the CFIA. In 2003, Nielsen was one of six CFIA researchers recognized for developing a rapid, on-site test for detecting brucellosis in cattle. An American company, Diachemix, manufactured and licensed the test. CFIA officials were not immediately available to comment on the case.

New homes found for horses CFIA investigated Charges pending | Twenty-five animals seized from farm near Wynyard

Beef recall briefing | Incident with government official brought to information commissioner’s attention

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The Saskatchewan SPC A has found new homes for 25 neglected horses that were seized from a farm near Wynyard, Sask., in late March following an animal neglect investigation. Kaley Pugh, manager of animal services with the SPCA, said all animals seized have now been placed in permanent homes in Saskatchewan and Alberta. Last week, the SPCA issued a call for help, seeking new homes for 21 of the horses and financial assistance to help offset the costs of feeding and caring for the animals. Four of the 25 horses seized had already been placed with a caretaker. “It was really an amazing response,” said Pugh. “Within a couple of days (of requesting help) we had all of the horses spoken for…. People really stepped up and helped us out.” Pugh declined to share specific details of the case but she confirmed that charges will be laid. The horses, as well as a number of other farm animals including cats, sheep and goats, were seized following a lengthy investigation. The SPCA spent about $7,000 to take possession of the horses. “There are still going to be charges laid in this particular circumstance so I can’t share too many details but it was a situation (that involved) lack of adequate care for an assortment of animals,” Pugh said. The former owners of the animals were residing on the farm, she added. Absenteeism was not a factor. The late March seizure is the latest in a rash of cases involving cattle and horses in Saskatchewan. In late February, the SPCA reported that the number and severity of

Charges are expected to be laid after 25 neglected horses were seized from a farm near Wynyard, Sask., last month. | FILE PHOTO cases involving neglected cattle and horses was up sharply. Over a three-month period beginning December 2012, the SPCA reported a 76 percent increase in cases involving cattle and an 89 percent increase in cases involving horses, relative to the same period a year earlier. Severe cases were also more common, the SPCA said. The winter of 2012-13 has been particularly challenging for farm animals, with many areas experiencing heavy snowfall and extended periods of extreme cold. Currently high feed costs are also creating additional pressure for animal owners. “The majority of Saskatchewan cattle producers and horse owners do a very good job caring for their animals. That’s why it’s particularly disturbing when we encounter situations where animals have suffered

long-term neglect and are clearly in distress,” said Pugh. Also last week, a Manitoba couple pleaded guilty to seven counts of animal abuse under the province’s Animal Care Act. A variety of charges were laid against the couple after a 2010 investigation led to the seizure of 64 dogs that were wounded, ill, in need of medical attention and improperly confined. Following the seizure, the dogs were taken to the Winnipeg Humane Society for assessment and medical care. Thirty-four dogs were eventually euthanized because of significant physical injuries or behavioural impairment. Judith and Peter Chernecki of Gull Lake, Man., are scheduled to appear in court for sentencing Sept. 17. Gull Lake is located about 100 kilometres northeast of Winnipeg.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is one of seven government departments and agencies that the federal information commissioner is investigating for alleged lack of information transparency. Commissioner Suzanne Legault received a complaint from the University of Victoria’s Environmental Law Clinic (ELC) and the Ottawabased advocacy group Democracy Watch that government muzzling of scientists is a violation of the Access to Information Act. The complaint about the CFIA is based on an incident in Calgary late last year during a briefing on a massive beef recall because of E. coli contamination discovered in product from the XL Foods Inc. plant in Brooks, Alta. “George Da Pont, president of the CFIA, attended a live news conference to discuss the government’s handling of the recall and answer questions,” said the complaint sent to Legault. “However, the conference was abruptly ended when an assistant of agriculture minister Gerry Ritz interrupted Da Pont mid-sentence and ushered him away from the cameras.” Meagan Murdoch, the minister’s director of communications at the time, directed Da Pont away from the microphone, abruptly ending a news conference being televised nationally. Democracy Watch co-ordinator Tyler Sommers said the Calgary incident is the only evidence submitted on CFIA information practices. “The information commissioner may be working on other informa-

tion as well, but that is all we submitted,” he said. The agency issued a statement indicating it is co-operating. “As Canada’s largest science-based regulator, the CFIA is proud of the contributions we make to the quality of life of Canadians,” it said. “The CFIA continuously strives to be transparent and accountable in how it does business. We will fully co-operate with whatever we are asked to provide over the course of the investigation.” Also under investigation are the departments of environment, fisheries and oceans, national defence, natural resources, treasury board and the National Research Council of Canada. In the request for an investigation, the ELC and Democracy Watch accused the federal government of “systematic efforts to obstruct the right of the media, and through them the Canadian public, to timely access to government scientists. There are few issues more fundamental to democracy than the ability of the public to access scientific information produced by government scientists, information that their tax dollars have paid for.” It included a 130 page report, Muzzling Civil Servants: A Threat to Democracy.

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

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

BEES | PESTICIDES

EU nixes MPs’ call for bee pesticide ban LONDON, U.K. (Reuters) — The government must suspend the use of dangerous pesticides linked to the death of bees, says a committee of British MPs. The Environmental Audit Committee said in a report that the government was relying on fundamentally flawed studies on the issue and that two-thirds of honeybees have suffered population declines in Britain. The country is blocking attempts to introduce a Europe-wide ban on a widely used insecticide, neonicotinoids, arguing that their impact on bees is unclear. But the MPs say the government is acting complacently. “We believe that the weight of scientific evidence now warrants precautionary action, so we are calling for a moratorium on pesticides linked to bee decline to be introduced by Jan. 1 next year,” said committee chair Joan Walley. France, Germany, Italy and Slovenia have already suspended the use of certain neonicotinoids such as imidacloprid, clothianidin and TMX, which are attractive to bees. European Union governments failed last month to agree to a ban on three widely used pesticides linked to the decline of honeybees, but the European Commission is threatening to force such a ban unless member states agree on a compromise. “Decisions on neonicotinoids must be based on sound scientific evidence,” said an environment, food and rural affairs department spokesperson. “That’s why we want the European Commission to agree to our suggestion for a major new field study to get the best, most up-to-date evidence,” he added. Syngenta and Bayer, the top producers of the pesticides, recently proposed a plan to support bee health to try to forestall an EU ban. Their plan includes the planting of more flowering margins around fields to provide bee habitats as well as monitoring to detect the neonicotinoid pesticides blamed for their decline.

CONSERVATION | VOLUNTARY STEWARDSHIP

Plan targets species at risk Priorities outlined | Producers worry about legal consequences BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

An initiative underway in southwestern Saskatchewan will emphasize voluntary conservation of species at risk and critical habitat rather than regulating how it should be done. The South of the Divide Initiative began more than a year ago as a way to help land owners, land managers and others working on the land — such as oil and gas workers — develop good stewardship practices. Environment Canada, Parks Canada and Saskatchewan Environment are leading the work along with stakeholders including agricultural and environmental organizations. The area of concern is the Milk River Watershed that runs south of the Cypress Hills toward Wood Mountain. The area is home to several species that are endangered or threatened and for many is the northern edge of their range. A collaborative, multi-species action plan is the most efficient and cost-effective way to deal with spe-

cies at risk in the area, according to the province. It recently allocated $300,000 to implement the plan’s priorities, which are still in the works, during this fiscal year. Lynn Grant, a cattle producer from Val Marie, is one of the agricultural representatives working on the initiative. He said producers have been concerned about the legal consequences of some provisions in the federal legislation. “There are serious problems with the regulatory approach because then you make these species a liability rather than an asset,” he said. “The objective would be to make these species an asset. You would want to have it (on your land).” Grant said there are federal and provincial environment staff who are just as concerned about regulation as producers are and would prefer voluntary stewardship. A heavy handed approach didn’t serve American producers well, he noted. “They’ve had some really punitive species-at-risk legislation for a lot

more years than what we have and in the U.S. the story was triple s — shoot, shovel and shut up,” he said. “That doesn’t do anybody any good.” Grant said “progressive-minded” conservation organizations such as Ducks Unlimited and Nature Conservancy Canada and government representatives do recognize that cattle producers’ good grassland and grazing management are preserving species at risk. The SOD initiative will be a great step forward if it works, he said. Most producers like to see acceptable numbers of wildlife on their land as evidence that they are managing grassland properly, he added. “If you’ve got 300 or 500 head of whitetail deer in your hay field or in your stack, that’s not the greatest thing, and then when you put a deer antler through a $2,000 tractor tire that’s less so,” he said. Some landowners will need assistance to deal with the economic challenges of providing critical habitat and adopting certain practices, he said. Environment Canada has said it

Saskatchewan environment minister Ken Cheveldayoff said SOD is a chance for the province to develop its own plan to ensure species at risk are protected. The province is responsible for managing critical habitat on provincial and private lands. Grant expects the implementation plan will go to the minister later this fall.

SALMON CONSERVATION | DAM REMOVAL PROJECT

U.S. ponders $450 million dam removal plan to save salmon habitat (Reuters) — The U.S. government has recommended the removal of four hydroelectric dams on the Klamath River in Oregon and California to aid native salmon runs and help resolve a decades-long struggle over allocation of scarce water resources. The U.S. interior department proposal, which comes as the largest dam removal project in U.S. history is nearing completion in Washington state, concerns a system of dams that straddle the Oregon-California border. The proposal to dismantle the dams owned by utility PacifiCorp coincides with a broader push by environmentalists and others to restore salmon fisheries in the Klamath Basin and elsewhere in the nation. T h e d a m s re c o m m e n d e d f o r removal, two in Oregon and two in

California, block upstream spawning migrations of salmon and place juvenile fish at risk by slowing their return to the Pacific Ocean. Removing them would open 675 kilometres of salmon habitat for the first time in 100 years, eliminate turbines that grind up fish and restore the Klamath River channel, according to the government analysis. The recommendation stems from a 2010 agreement among competing Klamath Basin water users that called for the government to determine if removing the dams would restore failing salmon runs and lessen conflicts in regional water management. The Klamath River contains several fish species on the federal threatened and endangered species list, including Coho salmon, and repeated droughts in the basin have periodi-

PROJECT IS DESIGNED TO RAISE SALMON COUNTS TO

400,000 FROM

3,000 cally forced U.S. water managers to allocate flows to protected fish rather than to farmers for irrigation. The recommendation, which came in an environmental impact statement released by the interior department, follows years of legal wrangling and periods of low flows that saw massive die-offs of salmon, closures of irrigation districts and

tightening of rules for hydroelectric projects that caused them to operate at losses. The near collapse of Klamath Basin Chinook salmon led the U.S. government in 2006 to severely restrict commercial and sport fishing in the Klamath River and along 1,100 km of the California and Oregon coast. In a statement, interior secretary Ken Salazar described the dismantling of the dams as “a comprehensive solution addressing all of the needs of the Klamath Basin, including fisheries, agriculture, refuges and power.” Under the proposal, which must still gain congressional approval, the dams would be removed over 20 months at a cost of $450 million to be garnered from ratepayers and bonds. If the dams were to remain in place, PacifiCorp would incur more than

$460 million in costs for relicensing, operation and maintenance of aging structures that have proved unprofitable, the analysis shows. Glen Spain, regional director of the Pacific Coast Federation of Fishermen’s Associations, said the analysis “confirms that dam removal is both feasible and cheaper than any other option.” However, Klamath County commissioners have withdrawn their support for taking down the dams. The project is expected to be completed this summer with the dismantling of the second of two towering dams on the Elwha River in Olympic National Park in Washington. The project is designed to allow salmon to return to their historic spawning areas and raise salmon counts from 3,000 to 400,000.

ANIMAL TRACKING | RADIO FREQUENCY

Where’s the beef? BY REBECA KUROPATWA FREELANCE WRITER

Cattle roundups can be challenging on pastures that include hidden or tree-covered areas. However, help is on the way. Bradley Smith, a farm management specialist with Alberta Agriculture, completed a project in the Pole Haven Community pasture in southwestern Alberta three years ago in which he was able to read radio frequency identification (RFID) tags up to almost a kilometre away using a handheld directional reader. Smith wondered about the possibility of tracking animals in real time and posting it on Google Maps. This led to the Real Time Animal Movement Project, in which Smith and IMSAR, a radar technology company, developed the concept of using stationary towers connected to a topographical map to track animals. “A triangulation map identified the coverage we would get using five towers in the pasture and the possibilities looked promising,” said Smith. A technology called nanoSAR allowed them to track animals in two ways: with the towers, which provided 24-7 surveillance using triangulation, and with a handheld radar for when producers are in the pasture. Smith and his team built towers and a base station and began tracking animals, posting their movement on Google Maps in real time. The tracking system did not come without its challenges, but most of the bugs were worked out by the end of the grazing season and it was running well enough to identify the location of animals with an acceptable level of accuracy. Owners were able to identify where their livestock were during fall roundup, and the cattle that had left the pasture were located and returned. This year, Smith will focus on improving the accuracy of identifying individual animal movement, which will help provide a more indepth analysis of animal health, predation and forage patterns. “We’re developing a hand-held receiver that will be a local application, meaning you will not require cellular coverage,” said Smith. “We see that being a huge benefit to livestock owners trying to locate animals in rugged and remote areas. It can be used on saddle horse, ATV, pickup truck, or what have you.” Tracking animals’ whereabouts electronically avoids having to spend days or weeks scouting foothills, rugged terrain and remote areas. “Sometimes animals are lost due to predation and if you can verify this is what happened, there is compensation available to the livestock producer (by the government),” said Smith. Producers in rugged and remote areas and community pastures would be best served by this technology. Smith is also planning to study the potential of using the technology to keep track of alternative livestock such as elk and bison. “One of the huge benefits of the technology is the infrastructure in reading active RFID tags is quite a bit less expensive than passive tags (which need to first be activated by t h e re a d e r b e f o re t h e y c a n b e

read),” said Smith. “It depends how you’re set up and what you want to accomplish.” Smith anticipates the hand-held and tower technology will be marketable in the next year or two and is working on ensuring the life of the tag will be as long as that of the animal. “Once this is commercialized, the electronics will be about $1,500 per tower site, plus about $1,500 for the cost of the tower,, a base station and computer,” said Smith. “So, the total (for a triangle of towers) is $6,000. We’re also working on the hand-held antenna, which will be local, and will be about $1,500. The RFID tags will be $5 or less, once commercialized.”

Nutritional seed treatment “AWAKENS” crop potential New technology contributes to stronger roots and bigger yields A new class of seed treatment technology is awakening crops to their full potential in fields across Canada. Seed-applied nutrients – also called “nutritional seed treatments” – coat the seed with a nutritional package, giving crops a vigorous start and their best chance at a strong yield. “We are excited to be able to provide cereal growers with an innovative tool to help enhance the early plant growth of their crops,” says Eric Gregory, product manager for Loveland Products Canada. Gregory and his team launched the first liquid seed-applied nutrient to be registered in Canada. Awaken ST was available to growers for the first time last year with great results reported in wheat, oat and barley fields across the prairies.

Putting nutrients where needed Growers have long known the critical need to supply their crops with the nutrients they require to prosper. But only recently have they had access to a solution that puts additional nutrients right where they are needed during germination – on the seed.

The result is increased emergence, stand uniformity, stress tolerance, and root and shoot growth as well as reduced time to maturity, which can all boost yield potential. “It also helps other aspects of a grower’s pest control program,” he adds. “The beneﬁt of quicker and even crop emergence is better crop competition for enhanced herbicide performance and even leaf staging for efﬁcacious fungicide applications.”

Proven effective in fields Seed-applied nutrition is essential for progressive growers looking for maximum yield and return on investment. With the trend toward early seeding, growers can get into the field with confidence regardless of soil conditions by using seed-applied nutrition to get the crop off to the best possible start. “In 2012, Awaken ST produced excellent responses in the field,” says Gregory. “Growers found that the seed treatment enhanced emergence, vigour, root and shoot growth, maturity and yield.”

Competitor’s seed-applied fungicide only

Tim Pizzey of Inland Seeds Corp. in Binscarth, Manitoba is eager to share the impressive results on his farm. “The wheat that was treated with Awaken ST was the most consistent and even wheat crop that we have ever produced on this ﬁeld. We plan to treat all of our wheat with Awaken ST in 2013,” he says.

Seeing is believing Another prairie grower tested Awaken ST on his 4,000-acre farm near North Battleford, Saskatchewan. “We heard good things about it, so we put it in side-by-side trials on our farm,” says Rory Gregoire of Gregoire Seed Farms Ltd. “We saw an increase in yield by four bushels per acre with Awaken ST. It deﬁnitely paid for itself in a hurry.” Gregoire encourages other growers to try it for themselves. “For anyone who hasn’t used it before, I would recommend trying a couple jugs. Put it on a few acres and see the results for yourself. Especially if the season is cold and conditions aren’t ideal for germination. Awaken will give your crop the extra boost it needs and you will see a huge increase.”

Awaken ST + competitor’s seed-applied fungicide

“Seed-applied nutrients give germinating plants immediate access to nutrients well before they are able to utilize nutrients in the soil. It starts to work the same day the treated seed goes into the ground,” explains Gregory.

Making hay pay, means picking it right Big bale value | It can be lost in picking, handling and transport, but with the right equipment and a plan it can be saved BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

HAUKAAS’S BEST PRACTICES FOR BALE HARVESTING

BRANDON — Livestock producers and commercial forage growers are well aware of the financial benefits of closely managing cutting, conditioning and baling their hay. However, those best management practices disappear when it comes time to moving bales off the field, says Greg Haukaas. Haukaas, who farms at Mortlach. Sask., and runs Haukaas Manufacturing, said producers spend a lot of money growing and harvesting a top quality hay crop, so it’s a shame to see them leave some of that nutrient in the field. He and his father decided 13 years ago that there must be a better way to gently move big round bales off the field. “A hay bale is valuable. We should handle it like it’s a marshmallow,” Haukaas said. “O u r f a r m i s n i n e m i l e s ( 1 4 kilometres) north and a little west of the government hayfields here at Mortlach. We’d often drive past as guys were picking bales with a front-end loader and hauling them to the road. Each bale was handled many times so there was a lot of bale damage, bales coming apart. We said to each other there just has to be a better way.” They looked at the chain and sprocket travelling-floor trailers and decided to build something better. “Not only better, but it had to be fast. If the field isn’t too rough, we can pick and move 120 bales per hour, or about 1,000 bales per day,” Haukaas said. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

Divided into zones Fields should be divided into zones that contain about 30 bales each. A 160 acre field, with a 1.4 tonne per acre crop, produces about 320, 1,500 lb. bales and would have 10 zones for collection. Bales are gathered inside each zone and deposited in paired, 30 bale rows for loading onto a 53 foot trailer. Bales are placed in line though the middle of the field, running from field edge to field edge. Gathering should be done using as few turns and empty travels as possible.

Truck loading Loading a 53 foot bale trailer takes about 18 minutes when it is parked between the paired rows of 30 bales and the bales are picked two at a time. The two base rows of 10 bales are loaded, leaving a pair of five bale rows. They are loaded to form the top of the stack. The Haukaas bale cart leaves the flatter bottoms of the bales in their on-the-ground orientation, so when they are loaded onto the trailer they tend not to roll off.

33 percent faster The method is one third faster than if bales are gathered with a loader tractor and accumulated in one corner of a field. It also eliminates most of the wheel tracking of semi-tractors and trailers inside a field, where a loader services trailers randomly across the land. It is 16 percent faster than if the bales are gathered to the middle of the field for truck loading. A single operator can remove the hay from a field with little walking between machines.

PRODUCTION » CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE The Quick Pick Bale Cart they designed picks up a bale by letting it slide into the chamber as the cart drives up to it. There are no arms or sharp projectiles to grab the bale and snag strings and wrap. Each chamber holds five big round bales, which can vary in diameter from 48 to 72 inches. The machine moves forward while bales accumulate in the chamber. Normally, the operator alternates between left and right chambers to keep the load balanced. Pick-up speed for the first bale is four m.p.h. The next four can be picked up at six m.p.h. once the first bale is in the chamber. To keep the ride smooth at those speeds, the chambers are suspended by flotation springs, which prevent the machine from gouging into the field’s surface. The chambers react to rough terrain as if they’re weightless. The chambers ride at 14 inches above the surface in the field position with each chamber holding five bales of up to 1,500 pounds each. Once full, the two chambers fold to the centre of the trailer for road transit. Each chamber has its own dedicated hydraulic circuit. The optional hydraulic rear gate requires a third circuit.

There are two ways to unload the bales. The first method is to have the operator back the tractor out from between the dual rows while the c h a m b e r s a re d o w n . F r i c t i o n between the bales and field automatically deposits the bales in two parallel rows. This is the preferred method for loading to a semi. The second method is easier. The operator uses the optional hydraulics to open the rear gate and then drives forward with the chambers lowered to the ground. Each bale is always set down on the same side it sat on in the field. It never rotates off that original flat spot, whether it’s in the chamber of the cart, deposited on the ground at the gathering point or when loaded on a semi for transport. “Every time you flip a bale, you end up with two spoiled spots. You damage the integrity of the bale and its ability to shed water,” Haukaas said. “When you load them on the semi trailer, the flat always faces down on the deck so we don’t get roll-offs. It’s quicker to load and a lot safer.” Haukaas said he doesn’t put up 10,000 bales a year like some farmers, which means he must learn a lot from his customers. Flaman Rentals has played a big role in the success of the

I’d really like to tell you that when we developed the bale cart, we had our whole system all worked out and we designed it to leave enough space between the bale rows to drive a semi in there. But to be honest with you, that’s just something that worked out later. People using our bale cart told us, ‘do you know I can load 30 bales in eight minutes.’ GREG HAUKAAS HAUKAAS MANUFACTURING

bale cart, he added. “They have a big rental fleet and they only buy our bale carts now,” he said. “Flaman likes them because there’s no maintenance. I like the deal because guys will rent one of our accumulators from Flaman and then next year they come to us to buy one.” The Quick Pick bale cart alone doesn’t guarantee an efficient hay harvest. It’s more about the overall system and how the cart is used. Haukaas said the goal is to get the hay off the field in the least amount of time and with the least amount of damage to the bales. “After we already had the bale carts on the market, we found out from our customers that the system to retrieve and move those bales is more important than the machine itself,” he said. “The most efficient way to get that hay off the field and into the yard is to gather your bales and set them up in planned groups around the field.” Haukaas said it’s important to arrange the rows of bales as they’re being accumulated. With the Quick Pick cart, the spacing between the two rows is ideal for a semi to drive between for quick loading from both sides.

For efficiency, Haukaas recommended breaking 160 acre fields into 10, 16 acre sections, or however many it takes to gather three loads of hay from equal shares of a field. The bales should be loaded in each section in smooth, long passes with as little field tracking as possible and then deposited in a long row through the middle of the field. Some operators can load a 53 foot semi trailer with 30 bales in just eight minutes, while others take 12 minutes or longer. Bales are placed in two rows of 15 but can also be placed in two rows of 10 with two rows of five set perpendicular to the ends of the 10 rows. Either way, a truck is rapidly loaded. In his literature and on his website, Haukaas has plotted out six bale accumulation patterns that a producer might typically employ. His model uses a square quarter section holding 320 bales that average 1,500 pounds each. The six scenarios cover a wide range in terms of manpower efficiency. The least efficient is a tractor and loader carrying bales to a single point in on corner of a field, with 38.8

bales accumulated per man hour, pencilling out to nearly nine hours to empty the field. The best system removes 53 bales accumulated per man hour, working out to six hours to empty the field. “There is no system for loading bales more efficiently than our dual row system,” Haukaas said, adding that the system has far-reaching implications for the future of beef production in the prairie provinces. The days are gone when five guys looked after 1,000 cows. A typical operation today is a father and son running 700 to 1,000 head of cattle themselves with no hired help. He said systems that function as one-man operations are the way of the future, and his bale cart and dual row accumulation scheme are the kinds of tool that make minimum manpower farming possible. “Our bale cart is designed so one person handles large volumes of hay by themselves,” he said. Haukaas paused before answering when asked how he developed the high-efficiency system. “I’d really like to tell you that when we developed the bale cart, we had our whole system all worked out and we designed it to leave enough space between the bale rows to drive a semi in there. But to be honest with you, that’s just something that worked out later. People using our bale cart told us, ‘do you know I can load 30 bales in eight minutes.’ ” For more information, contact Greg Haukaas at 306-355-2718 or visit www.haukaas.com.

Farmer says bale hauling made easy Bale strategy | The right tools save time and effort in a short haying season BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

When Gord Kozroski got his new bale cart, it brought with it a side benefit he never expected. “It’s faster and more fun than anything. It follows you around like a dog. I can’t get Dad off that thing,” said Kozroski, describing his Haukaas accumulator. The Gull Lake, Sask., grower runs a 500 head cow herd, putting up 2,200 to 3,500 big round bales per year. His first exposure to the Haukaas Quick Pick accumulator bale carrier came in 2004 when Greg Haukaas hauled his prototype out to the Kozroski farm for testing. Kozroski was impressed and rented a unit for the next few years. “But buying this thing two years ago is one of the best decisions I’ve made. I used to pay $300 a day and I was killing myself working three or four days straight from 7 a.m. until midnight to get the most out of it. “I finally bought this two years ago and put up half the bales myself. Dad and the hired man put up the other half. “In 2013, they wouldn’t even let me get on the machine. They had me driving semi the whole time, just trying to keep up. Dad’s 67. He really likes running this thing.” The bale cart picks up 10 bales in two rows of five. There are are no drag chains or individual bale lifts. Instead, it slides the bales along a frame using the forward motion of the machine and tractor. Bales remain oriented in their original positions as they were on the field. “It takes about half a day to figure out the patterns so you line up the bales in a good system.” Kozroski uses the L-shaped bale lineup configuration, one of the methods Haukaaas recommends to make efficient use of the bale cart. L-shape or parallel groups of 30 bales are the most efficient for loading a 53 foot bale trailer. “The L-shape, that was my idea,” said the Gull Lake farmer. Kozroski said the unit he first rented showed no sign of emergency repair or deterioration. He has

enough confidence in the quality that he rents the bale cart out to other producers, which covers about half

his payments. For more information, contact Kozroski at 306-672-7463 .

TIME TO POUR ON

The farmer in Lanny Faleide knew there had to be better ways to understand the land and ways to market that type of information. It was the early 1990s, the dawn of precision agriculture. After the droughts of the late 1980s, farmers were taking a keener interest in their soils. Reductions in tillage, new approaches to soil moisture management, improved fertilizer use and a trend to farm consolidation and its resulting increase in farm size created a need for information Faleide wanted to deliver. Today, Satshot has become a pivotal player in remote sensing. When Faleide was starting out, a few producers kept aerial photos of their fields. Others used government topographical maps to get a form of three dimensional views of their property. However, the latter were used mostly for drainage strategies. Faleide developed some of the first software capable of creating

variable rate maps for agricultural applications that used satellite imagery as a platform. “The images are a great interface for farmers. The bird’s-eye view was easier to interpret and it allow(s) you to bring field knowledge, farm knowledge into the process,” said Faleide of Fargo, North Dakota. In 1994, Faleide released his first mapping software, Agri ImaGIS Technologies’ Landscout. In those days, transferring a file as large as a single, colour satellite image could take up to an hour for a fast 14,400 baud modem over a telephone line. Faleide delivered satellite maps to his first farming customers by mail. The images were burned onto compact discs. Using their farm computers, producers would run the Landscout program to create their mapping layers and develop application prescriptions from those, if they used them. After a few years of this process, Agri ImaGIS made the move to the internet and one of the first

ve come a long way cloud-based technologies, the University of Minnesota’s Mapserver system. At the time it was more of a cartographic tool than a fully featured global information system, but it allowed Faleide to develop a system that stretched the limits of that technology and created the ability for his company, Agri ImaGIS, to house and access an historical satellite archive of farm fields that dates back to the 1980s in some areas. Seven years ago the company created Mapcenter and that technology allowed users to map via internet web browser, accessing the historical and new field maps that Faleide was archiving. Faleide followed that with Satshot 3D, allowing more advanced remote viewing and analysis opportunities, Landscout mobile for field use on tablet computers and other mobile platforms and new versions of Mapcenter and iCue Manager, a system for notifying producers when new satellite images become available. Satshot is the online form of the business and the one that many producers recognize. Faleide augments his Landsat collected images with the higher resolu-

tion Rapideye imagery. For an additional fee of between $1 and $1.50 per acre, farmers can access that company’s advanced red edge sensors, the light band that hovers between near infrared and the red spectrum, in addition to the high quality images. Faleide says Satshot’s optional use of Rapideye’s five satellite constellation, with its ability to provide five meter resolution and pass over a farm once every six days, rather than 16 by Landsat, means that producers can get more detail and data more often. In Western Canada and the northern Plains states, the short growing season offers few opportunities for a satellite view of a crop during its development and yield determinant phases. Adding to that, the ability of a system to turn that image around fast enough to be able to take action that will result in higher yields makes Satshot’s premium product even more useful. “Historical data and images are very useful in understanding and the getting the most out the land. But live images can take a producer to whole other place, if they have the capacity to put them to use,” said Faleide.

Rapideye NIR and NIR-red edge in-season views of a crop can be provide weekly. | He said information reflected from crops in that light region is more useful because it can be more closely correlated to plant health and can help eliminate false readings from soil reflectance. The red edge band can show off plant leaves’ cellular structures’ reflectance and the abundance of chlorophyll, with its ability to absorb light. Satshot provides a variety of vegetation indices options. These include

the normalized difference vegetation index red or green, known as NDVIR or G, the atmospherically resistant vegetation index, for regions where atmospheric aerosols interfere with re f l e c t i o n s, c a l l e d A RV I , a n d enhanced vegetation index, EVI.

normalized red edge, known as mNDVIRE. The latest products from the Fargo company allow producers to access their maps online and in a standalone format, for times when they aren’t connected to the internet. With the exception of the Rapideye mapping, all of the company’s services are available for an annual fee of about $700, with steep discounts for multi-year agreements. Faleide’s company is releasing Landscout 2 and Mapcenter 3 next month. Mapcenter allows producers to identify fields from the Satshot database. In some cases more than 20 different views of a field exist, dating back as far as 25 years. Different crops reflect light differently, so producers can choose their preference for viewing their crops, such as NIR red or green, or one of the more advanced Rapideye views. Analysis choices include being able to limit the number of management zones and assign values to them for the purposes of building prescription maps. Data layering can be used for more than getting a field performance snapshot and building custom maps. It can be used to track soil tests, manage irrigation and layer data such as as-applied records, seeding information and yield data from the combine. Drainage and levelling strategies and tilling plans can be built using data from the system. When Landscout comes out with a new version in May, it will add histogram analysis of maps in the field and allow users to automatically self locate and access a full set of satellite scenes while in the field, including the Rapideye images. The Landscout performs analysis on the go and allows producers to make changes to custom maps while out of the office. This version lets users add a variety of records into the tablet application. All field activities can be added and scouting, soil test locations and photos can be captured on the iPhone or iPad and automatically tagged and dropped into the field record. “We’ve added the iCue manager to the package. It instantly signals the user that new satellite images have been collected on your farm and are ready to view and analyze,” said Faleide.

Triffid-free seed supplies solid Flax seed for 2013 | Flax association leaders say producers will have what they need BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A system-wide plan to flush the last traces of genetically modified Triffid out of Canada’s flax pipeline by 2014 are on track, according to flax industry officials. However, the success of that plan depends largely on farmer co-operation, they said during an online information session late last month. Officials said the entire initiative could be derailed if western Canadian flax growers fail to comply with a series of industry recommendations, including the use of certified seed to plant the 2014 crop. If that happens, they say, efforts to regain the confidence of foreign flax buyers would suffer a significant setback. “We’re probably only going to get one chance at this,” said Dave Sefton, a flax grower from Broadview, Sask., who also sits on the Saskatchewan Flax Development Commission’s board of directors. “If we don’t get it right and we slip up, we could be stuck with this (mandatory GMO testing) regime for a lot longer than any of us want to be in it.” The flax industry’s plan to get rid of Triffid hinges on a few critical factors. Flax growers are encouraged to sell, before early 2014, all stocks of commercial flax produced before the 2013 growing season. Pedigreed seed growers are also asked to deliver all certified supplies of CDC flax into the commercial grain handling system. As well, flax growers are asked to use certified seed, especially for 2014 planting but preferably for the 2013 crop as well. Farmers who insist on planting farm-saved flax seed this spring will still be required to follow established testing protocols for seed. In 2014, farmers will be strongly encouraged to plant the entire crop with new certified seed. At least four reconstituted varieties from the University of Saskatchewan’s Crop Development Centre should be available for spring 2014 planting. Those varieties — CDC Bethune 14, CDC Sorrel 14, CDC Sanctuary and CDC Glas — are derived from breeder seed that was grown out, examined for Triffid on a plant-by-plant basis and multiplied following strict protocols. Certified seed from other breeding programs such as Agriculture Canada, Viterra and Limagrain have also consistently proven to be free of GM material. Todd Hyra, western Canadian business manager for SeCan, said reconstituted CDC varieties are being multiplied this year by SeCan members and should be available to commercial growers before the end of the year. The industry is confident there will be enough Triffid-free certified flax seed to plant more than one million acres in the spring of 2014. The price of the reconstituted CDC seed is expected to be in line with other varieties of certified flaxseed, Hyra added. Clearing out all existing stocks of commercial flax over the next year or

so is not expected to significantly affect prices, according to the Saskatchewan Flax Development Commission. High flax prices, strong demand and lower production have resulted in two or three years of historically low carryout stocks, and current supplies are at their lowest level in years, commission officials said, making it a good time to clean out the system.

Flax growers are urged to have the last of their farm-saved seed sold as commercial grain or planted in the spring of 2013 and sold before the 2014 crop goes into the ground. | FILE PHOTO

Ag boom has risks Don’t throw caution to the wind, warn industry analysts BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Agriculture is producing spectacular wealth for the grain industry, provoking a surge of investment by all parts of the industry, including farmers. But amidst all the excitement and confidence, some at the recent Canada Grains Council annual meeting advised farmers to be cautious before leaping further into debt to exploit the present boom. “My observation is what goes up, comes down,” said Kevin Hursh, an

agricultural commentator and manager of a number of industry organizations. “My message is: we all better be cautious.… You can still get yourself in trouble.” The meeting heard about new investments in railways, prairie elevator grain storage and the port of Vancouver, and booming farmland sales between farmers. “These are the most exciting times in decades to be in this industry and I think the vast majority of you likely share that view that we’re very lucky to be in this industry at this point in time,” said council chair Jean-Marc Ruest, a Richardson International vice-president. The good times are built mostly on a foundation of high crop prices and high demand, which has prevailed since 2007. The surge of demand has given the grain industry a booming business in collecting crops on the Prairies and shipping them to port. The surge in prices has given farmers profitability that they can use to improve their situations and expand operations. Many analysts are bullish about the long-term prospects for farming and agriculture, citing the expanding and wealthier world population and the demand of the energy industry for biofuel. Farm Credit Canada economist Jean-Phillippe Gervais said farmers’ debts compared to their equity has been steadily shrinking, a product of both high crop prices and rising land values. This is occurring even while most Canadians’ debt loads have been steadily climbing, he added. However, analyst Chuck Penner warned that high crop and asset prices can’t be assumed to have become permanent. He said he didn’t believe that the massive consumption of U.S. corn for ethanol production would necessarily stop prices slumping because the demand is levelling off and production remains strong. This is particularly a concern if U.S. production recovers from last year’s drought. “The market has already adapted to using the five billion bushels of corn for ethanol. They don’t need any more,” said Penner. “There is a floor. We’re not going to have $2 corn anymore, but where is that floor going to be? We’ve seen so much fluctuation and volatility. In the end it’s going to be hard to peg that but certainly it’s not where it is now.” Hursh said many farmers are making higher profits but still earn most of their family income from off-farm. A gross revenue of $250,000 on a grain farm does not produce more than a reasonable income. However, a farmer could get in trouble in a future price slump or extended period of low prices if the present profitability is used to justify major machinery or land purchases based on debt. “Overall, we’re not that highly leveraged, but there are certain individuals, that if the market pulls back, they’re going to get their toenails clipped,” said Hursh. “I’m still optimistic in the long term in agriculture, but I don’t believe it’s going to be quite the easy ride it’s been for the last few years.”

Grass vs. grain: which is best? Consumer tastes changing | New dietary trends see grass fed beef sales increasing, but consistency can be tough to manage when grassy pastures are covered in snow BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

OLDS, Alta. — Personal taste often determines whether people choose grain or grass fed beef. “It depends what people are used to,” said meat scientist Mike Dugan of Agriculture Canada. Some like the finely textured marbled beef resulting from a grain based diet while others want grass fed, believing it has greater health or environmental attributes. Grass fed may be a misnomer, said Keith Everts, president of Diamond Willow Certified Organic Beef, a co-operative of seven producers who have built a successful market for their branded product in Western Canada. Fresh grass fed beef from Canada is not available year round, so the cattle receive hay and other forages when the grass is gone. It should be called a forage based diet, he said. “If we get the consumers to think they can have fresh organic, grass fed beef all year, let’s make sure we are telling them what it is,” he told a recent Alberta Organic conference in Olds, Alta. Diamond Willow members were grass ranchers in southern Alberta who were selling five or six head a week. However, they had to increase production when the business took off in 2005. The producers, who wanted to make more money and put more beef into the system, had to decide whether to finish cattle on grain for 100 days or on grass for 200 days. They also wanted a more consistent product, and their large customer base demanded year round supplies. The company now custom feeds grain to more than 3,000 head per year at Tongue Creek Feeders south of Calgary. Everts said people think grass feeding is cheaper, but the bottom line has to be ana-

lyzed after the beef is sold. “You’ve got to know before you get into it what your end dollars are,” he said. “You have to know if you can do it.” The company developed a specialized calculator to determine break-even prices and profits. Variables entered into the calculator include cattle weights and gains and the cost of feed and buying cattle. Everts said he appreciates the commitment some producers have to organic grass fed production, but there’s a danger of losing customers because of variable quality product or lack of supply. The overall goal should be to encourage people to buy more beef, he added. For Don Ruzicka of Killam, Alta., the commitment to organic grass fed livestock is strong: he has not fed grain to his livestock since 1998. However, he said it took time to produce a desirable product. “The beef was good, sometimes bad. There was no consistency,” he said. He markets his products under his brand name Sunrise Farms. He said not all breeds are suited to a grass program, and producers need to select cattle that produce consistent quality. He started with Angus and Galloway but recently added Red Polls. He uses holistic management to finish cattle, hogs and chickens on 800 acres. He stockpiles forage for the winter on 200 acres of native pasture and relies on bale grazing when the snow is too deep. Alfalfa pellets are offered during cold snaps. His management plan is to rebuild his local ecosystem, but he also decided to try grass finished beef because he has Crohn’s disease. He wanted a diet with more essential fatty acids such as conjugated linoleic acid and omega 3 and 6, which are found in grass finished beef. Getting those nutrients in the proper balance is the trick, said Dugan, who studies lipids at Agriculture Canada’s research cen-

tre near Lacombe, Alta. Lipids are one of the three main classes of food besides carbohydrates and proteins. They are responsible for storing energy that animals do not immediately need. Research from Australia shows non-fish eating populations can derive a significant amount of beneficial fats by eating beef that contains long chain fatty acids. The fatty acid profile depends on the maturity of the grass. The profiles are greater than mature season forage if the grass is green and lush because of the amount of chlorophyll in green grass. Cattle manufacture the essential fats as part of their digestive process in the rumen. Polyunsaturated fats are toxic to rumen bacteria, so they hydrogenate them to produce CLA. “When you forage finish or grass finish an animal, the bacterial population likes to produce a good trans fatty acid, but when you grain finish they don’t produce high levels of the good trans fatty acid. They produce some other isomers,” Dugan said. A person needs 300 milligrams of omega 3 per serving to get health benefits. It is difficult to achieve that level in beef and pork muscle cuts, but increased levels could be found in sausage or ground product. Tenderness ratings between grass fed and grain fed are also held up as a major difference. Dugan said tenderness depends on age and breed. An animal’s meat contains more connective tissue as it matures, which is associated with toughness. Grass finishing may create toughness because the meat did not develop in the same way as grain finished. There is more starch in grain, and it makes more sugar in the muscle. The grass finished beef contains glycogen, which breaks down into lactic acid and creates different pH profiles that affect toughness.

ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE | PREVENTION

Producers play role in preventing antimicrobial resistance ANIMAL HEALTH

ROY LEWIS, DVM

Long-acting vaccination products have reduced use of feed additive antibiotics

eams of information and accusations have pointed toward the cattle industry regarding its contribution to the development of microbes resistant to antibiotics used in humans, pets and livestock. Are farmers, ranchers and feedlot operators doing their best to improve this situation? I believe the quick answer is yes and will give examples of how I think we lead the field, even if there is always room for improvement. There will no doubt be advancements in the future, such as quicker detection of disease, non-antibiotic antimicrobials, different and broader vaccination programs and better ways to reduce stress, which leads ultimately to less disease and less reliance on antibiotics. The cattle industry stands almost alone in the number of new antimicrobial products developed, far more than in human medicine. This is because it takes many millions of dollars to develop, test and receive approval for a new antibiotic. It is costly to do all the safety, residue and efficacy work. The economics don’t encourage new products in human medicine because treatments last only a few days and safety studies are all encompassing and extremely expensive. This is why a new major antibiotic hasn’t been developed for about 20 years. More antibiotics developed for cattle means more choice. This allows producers to use, on the advice of their veterinarian, the product that is specifically suited to the infection at hand. That is wise, and so is using only one antibiotic rather than several in combination. We have also found that if the product is going to work, it will work quickly, which means there is rarely a need to carry on treatment regimens for weeks on end. This makes medical and economic sense for the producer because antibiotics have a cost. Producers seldom treat too long or with too much product. Also, dosing is more accurate thanks to more accurate scales. The convenience of long acting products combined with the effort required to bring cattle for treatment ensure that most cattle are not overtreated. Farmers have bought into the concept of beef quality assurance and are almost without exception giving the right amount in the right location for the right disease condition. Here are a few suggestions to maintain this good record. • Always keep dose charts around. Almost every antibiotic has a different dose.

• Write down protocols to train new employees. • Follow drug withdrawals. The old days of “if some is good, more is better” are gone, and we know that if the proper dose is given, in time it should work. If not, we need to re-examine the situation. Beef and dairy producers almost always use products approved for their class of livestock. Chronic diseases are not overtreated, and cattle are either shipped once drugs are withdrawn or humanely put down. Both are positive steps to preventing resistance from developing. Producers have likely heard about

the amount of drugs used in cattle production compared to human medicine. What they are not told is that most of these products are additives and ionophores put in feed and have nothing to do with antibiotics. As Tim McAllister of Agriculture Canada says, antibiotics don’t directly promote growth but reduce illness so cattle keep eating and hence gain weight. As for the amount used, it makes sense that treating a 2,000 pound bull or a 1,500 lb. cow will require more medication than a 200 lb. human. Keep these rebuttals in mind next time the allegation is brought up that

“farmers are causing antibiotic resistance.” Vaccination is still the best biosecurity program. Fewer calves get sick and those that do will respond to treatment quicker and are less likely to relapse. Vaccination programs and better response that comes from using newer long-acting products have also cut down on the use of feed additive antibiotics. Many feedlots are using less of the feed additive antibiotics that are designed to reduce incidences of liver abscesses and pneumonia. These antibiotics are also in a class of drugs that are seldom, if ever, used by medical doctors.

It’s also important to follow label directions. The labels of some antibiotics clearly state when the product should not be used, such as fluoroquinolones (Baytril or A-180) in diarrhea cases. This is because the medical sector wants to save this family of drugs for use in human medicine and not develop resistance to enteric (diarrhea) organisms. Likewise, cephalosporins are used only for treatment and not for preventive or prophylaxis treatment in the face of an outbreak.

ANIMAL WELFARE | NEW STANDARDS

Producers urged to embrace animal welfare changes Old practices die hard | Consumers are forcing producers to improve treatment of livestock STORIES BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Dr. Darrell Dalton used to teach his clients about improved animal health while working on their horses. These days, those informal chats include reminders about improved animal welfare on the farm. Dalton is the interim registrar for the Alberta Veterinary Medicine Association. Part of his job is working with groups such as Alberta Farm Animal Care, which educates producers about improved welfare on farms. He is also a member of the National Farm Animal Care Council committee that is updating codes of practice for livestock sectors. “When I went to school, we weren’t even taught about animal welfare,” he said. Now it is part of the curriculum at veterinary schools and mirrors the change in producer attitudes that evolved from resistance to acceptance of new animal care models. “Things that were normal or standard practice in even veterinary practice 30 years ago, we would never do today,” he said in an interview after the AFAC annual meeting in

Retailers are under pressure to buy product only from suppliers who pass animal welfare audits. | FILE PHOTO Calgary March 22. Jim Reynolds, a professor of veterinary medicine at Western University in California and a professional animal welfare auditor, said he often makes recommendations to producers that go unheeded. U.S. retailers and the food service industry are reinforcing change by demanding animal welfare audits of suppliers. Four main audit systems are used in the United States and mostly follow the American Meat Association’s animal welfare guidelines. Reynolds said Canada’s codes of practice are excellent, but he wondered how closely they are followed or enforced. He said Canada may have better luck enforcing improved

animal care on dairy farms because of the supply management system. “It would be more enforceable here because of the quota system, and it would be a much quicker step to say, ‘if you don’t meet these standards, you can’t sell milk,’” he said after the AFAC sessions. Farms can expect more audits and assessment for many aspects of the business. Many other businesses are already subjected to this. Reynolds said retailer perceptions of what consumers want may actually result in overly high standards. “Consumers’ bar isn’t too high,” he said. “They don’t want to know how these things are raised. They don’t have to be confronted with animals being treated badly.”

He said many producers and companies want the best practices possible because they believe it is ethical, but old practices die hard. “There is a resistance to a real objective observation of what we do on the farm.” Confinement housing systems are under attack, but painful procedures such as tail docking, dehorning and castrating must also be addressed. Producers argue that it takes too long to give animals a pain killer and that animals do not feel much pain anyway, but that is wrong, he said. These procedures do hurt, and the pain should be alleviated if possible. He also said farms can do this and remain efficient. “The beef guys are the hardest ones

because they just don’t want to change, but sooner or later people are going to make them.” Reynolds said a culture of good welfare is needed on farms. “By and large we always think we are doing the right thing and when somebody else is doing something wrong, we don’t put ourselves in the same category.” New research is assessing what is going on in an animal’s mind and whether it is happy or content. “They are sentient. There is no doubt about that,” he said. “Welfare is a combination of facilities and people. We want the animals to have certain abilities to express their behaviour. We want the housing not to cause pain or distress to animals.” Producers may have to work harder to meet new standards and face considerable expense for major infrastructure changes such as retrofitting hog barns containing gestation stalls to open systems, he said. Smithfield Foods, which is retrofitting barns, posted losses of $300 million last year and still has to produce pork that sells for the same price that it did before the changes were made. However, Reynolds said change is not related to the size of the farm. “It doesn’t matter about the size. It is dependent on the owner’s values and attitudes.” However, he said more animals are hurt if a systematic mistake is made on a large farm.

ANIMAL WELFARE | HUMANE SLAUGHTER

Humane animal treatment priority for meat processor JBS conducts daily audits, trains employees on handling

Helen Choquette had a good feeling right from the beginning about Dow AgroSciences’ Nexera Canola Keys to the Combine contest. As it turned out, the Kelvington, Sask., farmer’s crystal ball helped her see the future. On March 26th, she and her husband, Brian, received the keys to a 2012 New Holland CR 9090 combine, valued at $331,000. Helen learned on Nov. 8 at Red Deer’s Agri-Trade that she was the contest winner, and picked up her prize in Yorkton at the Nexera Flexihall two weeks ago. She had a fair amount of competition. During the 15-month long contest, also sponsored by The Western Producer, nearly 50,000 keys were earned by contest participants, but one of Choquette’s was the lucky one. “When I started the contest, I just had a feeling I was going to win,” she said. The combine is a perfect fit at the Choquette farm. They are loyal Yorkton New Holland customers, and Nexera canola growers, pulling in a crop averaging 52 bushels per acre in 2011.

Animal welfare audits are part of the corporate culture for large meat processors such as JBS. “These workers do a job that is often criticized by the public. They need to feel good about what they do,” said Lily Edwards-Callaway, head of animal welfare for the Brazilian based company, which has more than 280 facilities around the world. The company processes thousands of cattle, pigs, lamb and poultry a day but also face protests from animal rights groups that use the slogan “meat is murder” when picketing packing plants. To counter the criticism, each JBS plant has at least one certified animal handling auditor and provides regular training by technical services staff. Edwards-Callaway, who was trained by animal behaviourist Temple Grandin from Colorado State University, follows the guidelines of the Professional Animal Auditor Certification Organization. “We conduct daily audits and we are constantly working on our training program,” she told the Alberta Farm Animal Care meeting in Calgary March 22. JBS recently bought the XL Foods Lakeside plant at Brooks, Alta., where the same training programs have been introduced. “We monitor employee performance and hold plants accountable.”

The company has regular meetings with staff, and workers who have demonstrated good care are recognized quarterly. The company based its program on the American Meat Institute guidelines, which cover animal handling and transportation. Evaluations are conducted from the time the animals arrive until they are dead. Plant workers are scored on whether animals have access to water, how long they had to wait for unloading, if they slip or fall and levels of vocalization as they move through the system. No willful acts of abuse or electric prods are allowed. Auditors also measure whether animals are stunned insensible the first time when they enter the knock box. This is watched with a live camera so that the auditors can see minor reflexes and make sure the animals are insensible. JBS has installed cameras throughout its plants to assess animal care and food safety practices. They will soon be installed at the Brooks facility. Evaluators can observe staff performance, often catching potential problems as well as mistakes. Each plant reports daily on welfare, food safety and quality assurance. “We refer to animal welfare as a school zone,” she said. “You don’t speed through school zones.”

BUSINESS DEAL | HANDSHAKE

New era sees fewer deals sealed with simple handshake COWBOY LOGIC

RYAN TAYLOR

’ve always felt fortunate on our ranch and around our neighbourhood that I’ve been able to do most of my business based on a handshake. I can sell cattle, trade help with a neighbour and hire myself out for a Cowboy Logic after dinner speech — all with a handshake. No need for “the party of the first part” to sign and notarize an ironclad contract with “the party of the second part.” Sure, there are plenty of exceptions. I have to sign a note at the bank for an operating loan, I sign something every time I change my cellular phone plan and I have to sign plenty of other stuff in a variety of places from courthouses to hospitals. We don’t get to sign our own birth certificate or death certificate, but most everything in between will have a line and a flag that says “sign here.” I don’t mind signing those documents, but to me, it’s secondary to the fact that you already said you were going to do what you said you were going to do, and your word should be worth more than the contract. Of course, these days, you can’t always look someone in the eye and give them your word, or shake their paw or even sign their contract if they so insist. It happens regularly on the computer screen before my eyes as I download software or update some program, and for that purpose the lawyers of those businesses have invented the “click wrap.” A click wrap is not like Christmas wrap and it’s not like Snoop Doggy Dog rap. They say it’s kind of like shrink wrap, but different. If you go to a store, buy software and crack open

MARKETS | BEEF

Beef exports jump in Brazil SAO PAULO, Brazil (Reuters) — Brazil’s beef exports jumped 25 percent in the first quarter of 2013 compared with the same period a year earlier, thanks to a more favourable e x c h a n g e r a t e a n d i n c re a s e d demand abroad. The country shipped 324,500 tonnes abroad in the first three months of 2013. Profits from those exports rose 18 percent to $1.44 billion. Profits increased even though the average price per tonne of beef fell 5.5 percent to $4.62 in March compared with $4.88 from the same month a year earlier. “The exchange rate is helping, the average price fell and this increased the volume exported, we were more competitive,” said Fernando Sampaio, the executive director of Abiec, the country’s main beef industry group.

Doing a deal isn’t like it used to be the plastic shrink wrap, you’ve just agreed to all the terms of use whether you know it or not. There’s no shrink wrap when you’re downloading online, so you have

click wrap. Just read the 12 pages of scrolling fine print and click “I agree.” Or, if you’re like me, read the first five words, fast forward to the bottom, and click “I agree.” I sometimes wonder just what it is that I agreed to. It’s all in lawyer speak, though, and it reminds me of what cowboy thinker Will Rogers said back in 1935: “The minute you read something and you can’t understand it, you can almost be sure that it was drawn up by a lawyer. Then, if you give it to another lawyer to read and he don’t know just what it means, why then you can be sure it was drawn up by a lawyer. If it’s in a few words and is plain and understandable only one way, it was writ-

ten by a non-lawyer.” I don’t know if anyone reads this stuff but we all agree to it. I looked at one just for fun and read one of the lines written all in capital letters toward the end. Someone told me when you type in all caps its like shouting, so this is what it shouted: “UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE SHALL COMPANY BE LIABLE TO USER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES FOR ANY MATTER ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEM E N T, T H E S E RV I C E O R T H E INTERNET GENERALLY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION…

blah, blah, bla-bla-blah.” I could go on, and they did, for 118 all capped words in a single sentence (where’s their editor?), but I won’t. However, if you want to use their software, just click “I agree,” even if you don’t, I guess. And, if you want to feel a little better about your fellow man, or woman, sell your calves, trade work with your neighbour and hire your after dinner speakers with a handshake. As I’ve heard it said, if a fella comes to do business with you and has to bring his lawyer, well, look out.

Canola protein plant closing BioExx Specialty Proteins | Company plans to build a similar plant in Europe BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

BioExx Specialty Proteins Ltd. is shutting down the world’s first commercial scale canola protein plant in Saskatoon. “We’ve made the difficult but responsible decision to close the existing facility,” chief executive officer Chris Schnarr told investment analysts listening in on a conference call announcing the company’s fourth quarter 2012 financial results. The company is instead pursuing a joint venture with two business partners to build a plant in Europe. “We simply do not have the operational or financial resources to build and operate two facilities at once,” said Schnarr. The original plan was to scale up the Saskatoon plant until it was capable of producing 40,000 tonnes of canola protein annually. There was also talk of building another plant in Minot, North Dakota, with an 80,000 tonne capacity. BioExx was unable to find a partner that would enable it to realize its ambitions in North America. So the company has changed its strategic plan and is pursuing a

project to build a 75,000 tonne facility in Europe with two European business partners who want to remain anonymous until a deal is signed. “This is an ideal fit,” said Schnarr. “It’s a potentially fantastic combination and that’s why we’re so focused on it and working hard here to see it through.” One partner already operates a profitable specialty oil business in Europe, and the new plant would be located next to that facility. The other partner would supply the equity capital required to build the plant. The three parties are negotiating an agreement that will specify ownership percentages for the joint venture and other terms of the transaction. That “definitive and binding term sheet” is expected to be signed around April 30. BioExx will be a “minority but meaningful” shareholder in the joint venture and will receive a series of cash payments for the use of its technology. The company will not contribute capital to construction of the facility, which is another change in direction from its original plan. Assets from the Saskatoon facility will be sold to pay down debt.

Schnarr anticipates the company will raise approximately $13 million. Thirty people will lose their jobs. “We recognize the tremendous contribution of our team in Saskatoon, which has been instrumental in the successful development of the world’s first commercial-scale food-grade canola protein technology,” Schnarr said in a news release. Franck Groeneweg, vice-chair of the Saskatchewan Canola Development Commission, laments the demise of the Saskatoon business. “When we have the potential to increase the value of the meal, it supports the total value of a product like canola, so it’s disappointing,” he said. The company used such a miniscule amount of canola that it won’t cause a blip in the sales program for a 15 million tonne crop, but Groeneweg said the loss of any valueadded enterprise is a blow to the industry. He is thankful the company is still pursuing the project on another continent. Schnarr said BioExx was a tiny processor that had a tough time competing in the oil side of the business against the economies of

scale of the major crushers. Profit margins from the protein side of the business were strong enough to more than compensate for the poor oil margins, but it wasn’t the ideal business model. Schnarr said the specialty oil produced by the proposed new European business partner fetches a price premium because of its high quality specifications. As well, the process produces a meal byproduct that is an ideal input for BioExx’s protein manufacturing process. “In our experience to date, it is the best meal we have ever used at the front end of our process,” he said. It produces higher yields of the company’s protein products, reduces variable costs, lowers capital expenditures and results in a product with improved characteristics. The goal is to commence protein production at the proposed European plant in the second half of 2015. Schnarr said the three partners envision building a series of protein plants. There remains a “compelling rationale” to have one in Canada. “We do maintain every intention of bringing production capacity on line here at the appropriate time,” he said.

BIOFUEL | CARINATA

Carinata firm strikes deal with biofuels company Agrisoma Biosciences-PGF Biofuels | PGF has exclusive rights to distribute carinata variety and arrange producer contracts BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Agrisoma Biosciences has reached a new agreement with PGF Biofuels Inc. that gives PGF exclusive rights to distribute Resonance carinata and arrange production contracts with growers in North America and Australia. PGF is a wholly owned subsidiary of Paterson Global Foods, a Winnipeg based company that also owns Paterson Grain and operates 40 grain handling facilities in Western Canada, including nine inland terminals. Carinata, also known as Ethiopian mustard, is a non-food industrial oilseed crop that is used to produce biofuel for the aviation industry. Last year, Agrisoma contracted more than 6,600 acres of the oilseed with more than 40 growers across southern Saskatchewan and Alberta. Growers contracted in 2012 re-

ceived $12.50 per bushel and an additional incentive of $40 per acre for each acre under production. In 2013, the company is hoping to contract more production, potentially as much as 20,000 acres in Western Canada. Most of the production will take place in southern Saskatchewan and southern Alberta in areas served by Paterson’s grain handling network. The $40 per acre producer incentive will not be offered this year, said Paterson’s Ken Mudry. Instead, grower contracts will pay $500 per tonne on the first 0.33 tonnes per acre. The remaining production will be contracted at $60 below November canola. Production last year varied from region to region and grower to grower, said Agrisoma president Steve Fabijanski. Recorded yields varied from 10 bushels per acre up to 42 bu. under ideal conditions.

Fabijanski said this year’s yields should be more consistent, given that growers are becoming more familiar with the crop. “A lot of it was a learning curve for growers (in 2012),” he said. “It’s a new crop, it was a new introduction and

new practices. But I think generally that people who grew it were pretty pleased with it last year.” Paterson also assisted in distribution and contract production last year. Fabijanski said the new agreement gives Paterson broader territory rights and additional responsibilities. Under the agreement announced April 3, Paterson will manage seed distribution, contract production, collection, processing and sales. Agrisoma will be paid a royalty on sales generated from Resonance carinata, which will vary depending on the nature of the end products sold. Fabijanski described the PGF agreement as an exciting opportunity that will allow the two companies to take advantage of new opportunities that are emerging in the biofuel sector. “They (Paterson) have been at the forefront of the grain handling business for more than a century and are leaders in seed sales, relationships

with farmers, logistics, transportation, elevation and the sale of grain,” Fabijanski said. “I think that they are the right guys for this crop and what we are doing, so we’re pretty pleased to be working with them on a long-term basis.” Last year, the National Research Council conducted tests on aviation biofuel made from 100 percent carinata. Tests conducted on a jet engine showed increased fuel efficiency, a 50 percent reduction in aerosol emissions and no negative impact on engine performance. Resonance carinata has been specifically developed for production on semi-arid land such as the brown soil zone regions of southern Saskatchewan and Alberta. Last year, carinata production was insured under the Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corporation’s diversification option available for crops and varieties that are not insurable under core multi-peril crop insurance.

COMPENSATION | OWNERSHIP

Fairness tricky concept when deciding farm compensation

TERRY BETKER

n the movie Jerry Maguire, Tom Cruise, as an agent, represents Cuba Gooding Jr., a football star looking to secure a new contract. Gooding wants to be highly paid and expresses his expectations with his “show me the money” routine. It’s a little less glamorous in real life. In a farm business, the owners, managers and labourers are often the same people, which can result in misunderstanding when it comes to compensation. Compensation to ownership is in the form of return on investment. It varies from year to year and will be positive or negative. It can be adequate or inadequate, depending on the owner’s perspective. Compensation to management depends on what contribution a particular manager is making to the farm. It can be clearly or loosely defined. Most farms will equate personal drawings as compensation to their management contribution. Contribution to labour is the best understood form of compensation, per hour or per month. There are a variety of forms of compensation for these roles: dividends, wages, bonuses, capital appreciation of land and quota, training and perks, such as vehicles, vacations, trips, paid business and personal expenses. Clarity and structure around compensation helps instill a positive work environment, which in turn

helps increase productivity and profit. Clarity and structure also help minimize the risk of conflict. A written compensation plan outlines exactly how money will flow to family members and employees and under what terms. Designing a compensation plan for a family business raises the following questions: • What is fair pay among family members? • How do I determine a fair wage for family members and non-family employees? • How should shareholders be paid? • How can we resolve disputes over pay? • How should family assets be handled? The issue of fairness can come into question. It can be a difficult subject because everyone has a different idea of what is fair. A farm operating under a business-first philosophy would say that fair is being paid based on the job that is to be done, at the going market rate for the job. Hiring is based on the skills, experience and initiative that an individual brings to the job. A farm operating with a family-first approach would say that all members are a part of the family and therefore should be paid the same irrespective of the job they do. Another interpretation is if Child B has not done as well as the others. Is it fair to provide him so that he can enjoy the same lifestyle as others in the family? It can become quite complicated. A well-designed compensation system that makes sense and is understood by all accomplishes the following: • Maintains control and structure over pay. • Keeps the business on track. • Promotes individual development. • Communicates a clear statement about work ethics and values.

• Encourages individuals to accept financial responsibility for themselves. • Provides a clear understanding about the value of different jobs. • Motivates individuals to perform well. • Distinguishes between compensation and gifts. A well-designed compensation plan

helps keep everyone involved in the business working for what is best for all. Such a plan will guide family members in making decisions about who gets paid for what and how much. Trust will be built in a compensation plan only when it is applied consistently. The integrity of the compensation system is undermined as soon as exceptions are allowed.
