RNA interference technology could be farming’s next big thing

Advancements in gene suppression | RNAi could be alternative to chemical pesticides

Monsanto’s chief technology officer hinted in a quarterly earnings call with financial analysts in January that the company might be onto something big.

After running through routine updates on corn breeding, soybean yield improvements and other projects, Rob Fraley’s enthusiasm spiked when he began talking about Monsanto’s research and development work on RNA interference (RNAi) for pest management.

“These (tools) can precisely target pests and can result in many of the same benefits we’ve seen with biotechnology traits,” he said.

“So while it’s still in early stages, I have to emphasize that for me this is a really exciting advance, and it reminds of when I first saw the Roundup Ready technology in the late 1980s.”

RNAi could prove to be an alternative to chemical pesticides in insect and disease control.

Monsanto’s website describes RNA interference as a process to turn down or shut off the expression of certain genes, which suppresses the production of a specific protein in an organism. In the case of crop pests, RNAi could potentially shut down proteins related to metabolism or reproduction, thus killing or disabling target insects.

“We can actually feed these RNA molecules to insects, and they will just ingest them. It will get into the cell and do its job,” said Eric Jan, associate professor of biochemistry and molecular biology at the University of British Columbia, where he is part of a team using RNAi to

treat viruses that affect bees.

Monsanto and Syngenta have committed large sums of money to RNAi technology over the last 12 months.

Syngenta bought Devgen, a Belgian rice breeding company and a world leader in RNAi crop protection, for $523 million last fall, while Monsanto paid $29.2 million last year for exclusive rights to use the intellectual property of Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, a major player in the RNAi industry.

This year, Monsanto spent $35 million to acquire Rosetta Green, an Israeli company that improves plant traits with RNA interference.

“I think it’s very apparent to these companies … that this is a powerful technology, so investing early and getting a foothold in it (is essential),” said Doug Macron, who reports on gene silencing technology for GenomeWeb, an information service for scientists and tech professionals.

“These companies know the science and they’re careful with their money. There’s a reason why they are spending millions of dollars.”

Since the discovery of RNA interference in the late 1990s, biologists have primarily focused on gene silencing in humans and potential therapeutic treatments for diseases such as diabetes and cancer.

Yet, applying RNAi to human health has proved difficult.

“Delivery (of double stranded RNA) has been the biggest hurdle facing the human therapeutic side.

Just getting these things into cells and functioning … is terribly complicated,” Macron said.

Cooler weather forecast ahead of much warmer temperatures for the weekend of May 4-5 could ease the flood risk in some parts of Saskatchewan, provincial officials said April 29.

Water Security Agency spokesperson Patrick Boyle said warmer temperatures late last week produced quick increases in outflow on tributaries and resulted in localized flooding.

“In those areas where the runoff has started, (the cold weather) will allow flows to pass somewhat before any further snow melt happens,” he said.

“So that’s going to help alleviate the peaks.”

The situation in Manitoba is similar after cooler weather there also mitigated flood risks in the Red River Valley. Forecasters said flooding in the valley will likely be comparable to 2006, which is below levels seen in 2011 and well below 1997, Manitoba’s flood of the century.

SPECIAL REPORT | FROM PAGE ONE

RNAi holds promise “When you’re dealing with insects and plants, that delivery hurdle is significantly lower. In certain types of insects, they can just eat the stuff.”

RNA inter ference is allur ing because it can be tailored to a specific pest, unlike pesticides that kill harmful and beneficial insects alike.

Monsanto is expending a fair portion of its resources on RNAi applications for the western corn rootworm, which is slowly developing resistance to the B.t. corn trait.

The company is also working on topical sprays to deliver RNA that impairs the metabolic functions of target insects.

The company hopes to use the technology to protect crops from viruses and disease as well as insects.

Monsanto declined an interview request for this story because a spokesperson said it’s too early to discuss the technology. It is still in the discovery phase, which is the earliest stage of Monsanto’s research and development work.

REGULAR FEATURES

Commercialization of the technology may be five to 10 years away, but critics are already lining up to condemn RNAi as dangerous.

Greenpeace questions the safety of RNAi, suggesting it could suppress gene expression in other species, including humans.

Defenders of the technology acknowledge that humans share genetic sequences with insects, but it should be possible to target certain genes in the target pest without risking human health.

“One of the big hurdles is, ‘what effect would this have on other organisms? What effect would that have on humans?’” said Marcé Lorenzen, an entomology professor at North Carolina State University who is studying the potential of RNAi to control the red flour beetle.

“We don’t really expect off-target effects, but you have to go through all the (precautionary) steps.”

Flood risks ease across Prairies

»

Back in Saskatchewan, flooding at Maidstone in northwestern Saskatchewan resulted in a state of emergency because of problems with the sewer system. Lashburn and Borden also saw flooding.

The rural municipality of Great Bend issued evacuation notices to farms south of Highway 16 near Radisson April 28-29 as water from tributaries of the North Saskatchewan River rose. Administrator Barry Hvidston said Borden and farms north of the highway were all on alert for possible evacuation. The water had washed out five roads and was stopped just outside Borden by the train tracks for the time being.

The hamlet of Hoey near Prince Albert was issued a precautionary drinking water advisory after flood water contaminated its treated water reservoir.

Water caused problems on both road and rail during the weekend of April 27-28.

Two locomotives and a car on a Via train headed from Winnipeg to Churchill came off the tracks April 28 near Togo, Sask., along the Manitoba border. There was also a small engine fire.

None of the seven passengers was injured. They were taken by vehicle to Duck Mountain Provincial Park.

Thirty-five sections of provincial highway were affected by water and either closed for a time or required flagpersons to direct traffic.

Highways ministry spokesperson Doug Wakabayashi said two culverts have been damaged: one on Highway 2 north of Wakaw and one on Highway 6, south of the junction with Highway 39 in the Milestone area.

The westbound lane of the TransCanada Highway near Sintaluta was open but water was flowing over it

and drivers were required to reduce speed.

Emergency management officials said they continue to monitor areas where flooding is expected, particularly in the Regina-Moose Jaw-Weyburn-Indian Head region.

Duane McKay, executive director of emergency management and fire safety with the provincial government, said Moose Jaw appears well prepared for the possibility of flooding.

Boyle said there is still extensive snow pack on the east side of the Moose Jaw River. However, Thunder Creek has already melted, which means two peaks won’t arrive at once.

Outflow from the Avonlea Reservoir peaked April 28 and is declining.

Flow on the river at Rouleau increased from 20 cubic metres per second to 91 m3/s April 29.

Water from the Moose Jaw River is backing up over the dam at Buffalo Pou n d L a k e, a n d f l ow s o n t h e Qu’Appelle River are increasing as that water arrives.

Flow on Wascana Creek, which also contributes to the Qu’Appelle system, was just beginning April 29. Peaks in Regina are expected to top 2011.

The peak on the Battle River system at the Battlefords was expected April 30 at rates double 2011 and higher than 1985. The water will be 1.2 to 1.5 metres higher than 2011.

Most other systems were seeing increased flow but many were expected to decline without causing serious problems.

The gates on the Rafferty Reservoir on the Souris River system, which saw so much devastation in 2011, are open and outflow is 50 m3/s, less than the forecasted range of 60 to 80 m3/s.

ONE SURE SIGN OF SPRING: FLOODED FIELDS

Shelterbelt sale plans stalled Sale of Indian Head, Sask., centre called confusing

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

It appears the federal government is just beginning the process to sell its tree nursery at Indian Head, Sask., a year after it announced it was accepting offers for the facility.

A coalition of farm organizations and municipalities interested in operating the nursery met with a federal official last week, who told them the legal process for asset divestiture is only now underway.

The federal government must first offer any assets to other federal departments, and that has just recently happened.

However, officials told a public meeting in Indian Head last year that they would accept offers until the end of August. It was later extended to February 2013.

“It’s a very confusing picture,” said Regina Liberal MP Ralph Goodale, who has questioned agriculture minister Gerry Ritz about the matter in Parliament.

“I think this flows from the fact that they’ve actually from the very beginning had no plan whatsoever.”

Ottawa announced in its 2012 budget that the tree nursery would be sold and the federal government would no longer distribute free tree seedlings for shelter belts and farmyard plantings.

About 610 million trees and shrubs have been distributed throughout the Prairies and the Peace River area of British Columbia since 1901.

Federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz said in a statement last week that shelter belts are a well-established practice and it’s now time for the private sector to deliver the service “should the demand exist.”

About 10,000 people have signed petitions to keep the centre open, and Goodale and others have said the farm must be offered as a going concern.

Ritz also said last week the federal department would continue to operate it until the end of this year.

However, layoff notices issued to some staff, effective June 15, elicited confusion about how the centre could effectively operate until Dec. 31 and remain viable for a potential buyer.

Norm Hall, president of the Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan, said he spoke to Ritz several times last week and was assured staff will remain on as necessary.

He said the minister told him there would be a fall planting and a harvest.

APAS is part of the coalition looking at the tree farm.

“We’re in the process of doing some due diligence,” said Hall.

“It has to be a cost-recovery entity whether it’s a co-operative or whatever.”

When asked to clarify the situation, the federal agriculture department issued an email stating activity has been winding down and the property declared surplus.

FEDERAL BUDGET | FOOD PACKAGING

Packaging deregulation could cost thousands of food sector jobs

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

A seemingly minor announcement in the 2012 federal budget has grown into a potential political headache for the federal government as critics predict thousands of food sector job losses.

More than 200 pages into the budget document last year, the Conservatives announced: “The government will also repeal regulations related to container standards to enable industry to take advantage of new packaging formats and technologies while removing unnecessary barriers for the importation of new products from international markets.”

By the time the Canadian Food Inspection Agency began its consultations on the proposal late last year, food processors and producers had decided that eliminating Canadian food package size regulations would allow foreign companies to flood

Canadian markets with cheaper product in containers that Canadian companies are not geared to produce because of existing regulations.

A national coalition of food industry players and municipal politicians from across southwestern Ontario is fighting back.

“Deregulating consumer packages support neither consumers nor Canadian farmers and food processors,” said Food Processors of Canada, which argued it would favour importers and confuse consumers.

“Canadian food processors will be forced to make tough decisions: do they invest here or in the United States? Companies have options, but farmers and communities do not.”

Southwestern Ontario mayors have been contacting their MPs, mainly Conservatives, warning that the change would close Canadian factories and eliminate thousands of jobs in a food processing industry already losing ground.

Last week, the issue bubbled up in Parliament.

Arthur Smith, chief executive officer for the Ontario Fruit and Vegetable Growers’ Association, told MPs on the House of Commons agriculture committee that amending the Standard Containers Act to end controls on packaging size would hurt processors, their workers and the thousands of farmers who sell to them.

“Removing this act would allow foreign product to come into Canada more easily than it currently does, c re ating f u r th er pressu re a nd increased competition for processors,” he said.

“Keeping the act will keep Canadian processors in business longer and protect producers and small Canadian processors as well.”

He said ending restrictions on package sizes would allow multinational food processors to close Canadian plants and service the Canadian market from larger American plants.

It would be a “no-brainer” for an American company to close its Canadian plant, which was created to adhere to Canadian container rules, if they can access the Canadian market from a larger U.S. plant with no container size regulations.

New Democrat MP Malcolm Allen asked agriculture minister Gerry Ritz in the Commons to cancel the proposal because the government did not do an impact study before quietly announcing the change.

Ritz suggested nothing is imminent.

“We continue to have consultations,” he said.

“We continue to work with the industries and affected communities to come up with a positive result that will reinforce Canadian agriculture and Canadian processing.”

Allen said in a later interview he thinks the government has “slowed up the process because the pushback from mayors, communities and the industry has been overwhelming.”

FERTILIZER | PRICE OUTLOOK

Fertilizer prices expected to drop China exports up | The country will be ‘swamping the market with a lot of this stuff,’ says analyst

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Farmers are advised to hold off on fertilizer purchases because strong urea exports out of China should drive down nitrogen fertilizer prices by late summer, says an industry expert.

“I would not recommend to anybody right now to start pricing any fertilizer for fall usage yet,” said David Asbridge, president of NPK Fertilizer Advisory Service.

China exported 7.2 million tonnes of urea between July 1, 2012, and Feb. 28, 2013, up from three million tonnes for the same period a year earlier.

The supply influx has kept urea prices in check during the first quarter of 2013, despite strong pre-buying of the product from growers in the United States and Western Europe, according to a report on Yara International’s first quarter results.

PotashCorp offered a similar perspective during its first quarter results.

“We have seen significantly more (urea) imports come into North America in anticipation of large corn acres being planted,” said PCS Sales president Stephen Dowdle.

“Now that planting is a bit delayed, we’ve seen a little pressure on the market. We’ve seen some price weakness there as people have sought to liquidate some of their holdings.”

There doesn’t appear to be any letup in store for Chinese exports. Yara said the Chinese urea export tax will fall to a minimum two percent as of July 1, down from 77 percent today, and will stay there until Nov. 1.

A sharp rise in urea exports from China may put pressure on urea and other nitrogen fertilizer prices, say analysts. | FILE PHOTO “Urea production in China has increased so far in 2013 and a continuation of this trend would increase the probability of significant secondhalf urea export volumes from China,” the company said.

The outlook prompted one investment analyst to conclude that Yara was hinting urea and other nitrogen fertilizer prices will be “materially

lower” in the second quarter of 2013, according to a Seeking Alpha transcript of the company’s conference call with analysts.

Asbridge expects nitrogen fertilizer prices to plummet following spring seeding.

“Starting July 1, when they’ve got that low tax situation, (China) is going to be kind of swamping the market with a lot of this stuff,” he said.

Urea prices are already falling in the Gulf Coast, hitting $380 per tonne late last week, down from $400 per tonne a few weeks earlier.

“We’re looking at a good possibility right now of urea prices at the Gulf Coast dropping another $75 to $80 per tonne,” he said.

Urea sets the tone for all nitrogen fertilizer products.

Farmers won’t likely see reduced prices at crop input retailers until the end of summer because wholesalers and retailers have stocks of highpriced product in their warehouses that they’ll need to get rid of first.

Asbridge was originally forecasting that urea prices would drop to $330 to $340 per tonne by summer, but he is now forecasting it could go as low as $300 per tonne because of the unexpected volume of Chinese exports.

That is good news for farmers and fertilizer retailers, said Greg McDonald, general manager of Grow Community of Independents. His member companies tend to stock up on fertilizer with summer fill contracts in July and August.

“It tends to be the lowest price of the year,” he said.

By the sounds of it, prices could be lower than usual this summer.

“Anytime you can purchase a tonne of product for less, it ties up less cash flow and there’s less risk involved, so it’s positive as long as there is the traditional appreciation in the market,” said McDonald.

Asbridge said China is determined to be self-sufficient in key crops such as corn, so it has intentionally overbuilt its nitrogen fertilizer capacity in anticipation of increased domestic use in coming years.

The country has 485 nitrogen fertilizer plants, including 114 urea plants, 20 of which have a urea production capacity of more than one million tonnes per year, according to a 2011 repor t produced by the China National Chemical Information Center’s fertilizer department.

It is most efficient to run those plants as close to capacity as possible, which is resulting in a glut of product.

Asbridge said there is probably more overproduction than usual this year because seeding has been delayed due to wet and cold conditions in northeastern China, which is an important growing region for the world’s second largest corn producer.

Another factor that may influence urea prices is the wet conditions in the U.S. corn belt, which may force far mers to use less anhydrous ammonia fertilizer and more urea and UAN. Anhydrous has to be knifed into the soil and it may be impossible to do that in the wet soil.

The increased demand for urea could partially offset the pricedepressing influence of China’s strong export program.

As Texan authorities continue to examine causes of a massive fertilizer explosion at a storage facility April 17, including the possibility of negligence, Canadian fertilizer industry leaders say their safety rules are robust.

In April 29 interviews, they said industry “best practices” codes, regular inspections and government regulations make the Canadian industry safe.

“I think the standards we have established both through regulation and through industry codes in Canada give us the highest levels of safety and security,” Canadian Fertilizer Institute president Roger Larson said.

At the Winnipeg-based Canadian Association of Agri-Retailers representing hundreds of fertilizer retail outlets across the country, president Delaney Ross Burtnack said her members have invested millions of dollars to secure their premises from theft and adhere to strict codes of conduct.

Since a 1995 Oklahoma City bombing that used fertilizer as a base, the security of fertilizer stockpiles has become a public security issue.

With stories of lax reporting and inspection at the Texas plant, Ross Burtnack said it appears Canadian security and procedure rules are stricter and better enforced.

“It sounds like a situation that our retailers are just not allowed to get into or they wouldn’t be in business,” she said.

“They are audited frequently, they have requirements they have to meet including communications with local authorities and residents of their town so they are aware of what potential dangers there are and to make sure they have the procedures in place to make sure these things don’t happen or if they do, everyone knows how to act quickly.”

The blast, reportedly caused by a fire that ignited stored ammonium nitrate, destroyed the plant and nearby homes in the town of West, Texas, killing at least 15 people.

The fertilizer retail CAAR lobby has tried for years to convince the federal government that money should be made available to secure the perimeter of fertilizer storage facilities and to better light the area for security.

Ottawa has not responded, Ross Burtnack said, in part because departments of public safety, natural resources and agriculture are involved in the issue and none of them wanted take the lead.

Retailers invested their own money for upgrades to meet the higher standards or risk losing product access.

Larson estimated the cost at between $25,000 and $100,000 per site.

Canadian regulations and industry codes range from conditions in manufacturing plants, storage and retail stores through transportation.

Although there are federal regulations, the CFI president said much of the enforcement and policing comes from the industry itself.

“We in Canada should be very proud that we in industry took the initiative to define best practices and to the agri-retailers who invested in their facilities at significant costs.”

IT’S ALL ABOUT HORSEPOWER…

Ag industry remembers researcher Guy Lafond Ag contributions | His work contributed to direct seeding, precision farming and conservation practices

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

A memorial celebration will be held May 4 in Indian Head, Sask., for zero-till pioneer and crop researcher Guy Lafond.

The long-time Agriculture Canada scientist died April 27 from cancer.

He was 59.

His wife, Enid Oddleifson, to whom he was married for 32 years, son Eric (Jessica Parker) and daughter Gaetane survive him, along with two brothers, three sisters and numerous nieces and nephews.

His sister-in-law, Karen Foster, said Lafond handled his cancer with grace.

“He had a serenity about him and an acceptance that taught us all so much,” she said.

Lafond grew up in Manitoba and obtained his master’s degree from the University of Manitoba and PhD from the University of Saskatchewan. He settled his family on the research farm at Indian Head where he worked for more than 30 years and spent as much time as possible with farmers and in the field.

He had a passion for the better management of soil, plant and water resources for future generations and the growing world population.

“He had a passion for the better management of soil, plant and water resources for future generations and the growing world population,” said a statement provided by Oddleifson.

Social media tributes to Lafond noted his tremendous contribution to conservation agriculture at home and around the world. He was a member of numerous agricultural organizations.

Lafond played a pivotal role in establishing the Indian Head Agricultural Research Foundation (IHARF) in the early 1990s. He shared his research in the United States, China, Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Australia and Europe.

In 2010, he was named a fellow of the Canadian Society of Agronomy in recognition of his work in direct seeding, precision farming and conservation practices.

Encourage tillering | Apply adequate nitrogen as soon as possible and consider weed control

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Call it a rite of spring: winter wheat emerges from its blanket of snow and agronomists caution farmers not to make hasty decisions if emergence is poor.

“In all situations, you’re going to have a variable winterkill pattern in the field,” Brian Fowler told an April 24 webinar organized by Ducks Unlimited.

The University of Saskatchewan plant science researcher said conditions in some parts of the Prairies are worrisome, given early snow last fall that may not have allowed soil to freeze. That could lead to higher winterkill, although winter wheat stands do tend to surprise farmers with their ability to tiller and fill in the bare spots.

Fowler said it takes only eight to 10 centimetres of snow to insulate a winter wheat crop and keep the crown temperature at comfortable levels.

Much of Saskatchewan and central and northern Alberta achieved that depth.

However, that same snow may create additional risks to the crop, including snow mould and a later maturing stand that could be exposed to fusarium head blight.

Fowler said snow mould risk is highest in areas where the snow is deepest and packed down, usually on field edges.

Snow mould can kill winter wheat, but it is difficult to determine the degree because evidence of mould quickly disappears.

“I have not seen snow mould to be a very high risk factor when we have gone to low till seeding,” Fowler said.

That’s because snow in standing stubble is usually not tightly packed.

The fusarium threat won’t be known until the crop begins to flower.

Ken Gross, a Ducks Unlimited provincial agrologist for Manitoba, told the webinar that winter wheat could be exposed to fusarium if late snow melt appreciably delays emergence.

Ordinarily the crop flowers before fusarium spores become a problem.

As well, winter wheat will produce more tillers if there is considerable

winterkill, which mature later and extend the flowering period.

“It could broaden the window (for fusarium),” Gross said.

Plant disease specialist Ron Howard of Alberta Agriculture said in a later interview that heavy snow may also allow more fusarium inoculum to survive over the winter, but weather conditions at the time of flowering will be the primary factor.

Risk also depends on whether the winter wheat was seeded in or near a crop that had fusarium last year.

Flooding of winter wheat fields is another risk many will face this spring.

Fowler said well established plants will better tolerate flooding. Cold, moving water does less damage to the crop than warm, stagnant water.

Plants that are completely submerged are at higher risk than those with leaves above the water, he added. And green leaves are not necessarily an indicator of plant survival.

New white roots are definitive evidence.

Gross recommended early nitrogen application to maximize potential

once winter wheat survival is known.

“Human nature is to sit and wait and see what it does.… That’s exactly the wrong thing to do,” he said.

“You have to feed the crop when it’s struggling to encourage that root tiller development.”

Nitrogen should be applied as soon as farmers can get into the field and ideally before the four- to five-leaf stage, said Gross. A three-week delay in application can reduce yields by 30 percent.

Nitrogen deficiency reduces tillering, and early tillers contribute more to yield than those formed later in the season.

He also cautioned against the common tendency to use spring wheat nitrogen rates on winter wheat.

Winter wheat has a yield advantage over spring wheat, so it needs more nitrogen to reach its potential.

Gross recommended early weed control. Winter wheat will often outcompete wild oats, but spraying might be necessary if the crop is patchy.

“You’ve got to get out there and scout early and don’t wait to spray.”

SEEDING INTENTIONS | WEATHER FACTORS

Growers may lean to short season crops Barley, oats acres may increase | Canola is vulnerable to early fall frost, but it can be planted before wheat

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

It will be unclear for weeks exactly what farmers will seed this spring.

Prairie acreage is in flux, considering that seeding has still not begun in large parts of the region and a late spring has forced many farmers to reconsider their cropping decisions.

“We could see it swing a million or two acres in a week or two,” said Derek Squair of Agri-Trend Marketing. “Things are changing.”

The Statistics Canada seeding intentions report is usually the best guess for this time of year. Analysts often complain that the three week lag between the survey and publication of results makes the numbers out of date, but in most years the reality is not expected to be vastly different.

However, analysts are challenging two of the report’s major conclusions this year: that farmers will greatly boost spring wheat acreage and slash canola acreage.

Statistics Canada said farmers surveyed at the end of March planned to plant 19.1 million acres of canola, an 11.1 percent drop from last year.

Farmers also intended to increase spring wheat acreage by 14.4 percent to 19.4 million acres.

However, analysts think the late spring will crimp spring wheat acreage and increase shorter season cereals such as barley and oats.

As well, canola acreage could increase from March plans because it can be seeded sooner, has attractive crop insurance coverage and farmers in areas who were considering soybeans and corn could revert to canola.

“My gut feeling is that we’ll get 20

Farmers may be forced to change their plans if seeding is delayed past mid-May. | million acres of canola,” said Errol Anderson of Pro Market Communications in Calgary.

“Sometime we’re going to get a seeding window and the crop will go in.”

Anderson expects farmers to seed 18.8 million acres of spring wheat.

Squair expects farmers to plant 23 to 23.5 million acres of all classes of wheat, with much flux between different wheat types as the weather and markets send a blizzard of signals. He believes the canola crop will

be 19.5 to 19.7 million acres.

Jon Driedger of FarmLink Marketing Solutions expects a spring wheat crop of 17 million acres and a canola crop of 20 million acres.

Farmers are usually unwilling to play with their rotations because they don’t want to undermine the agronomic productivity of their land, but this year the shrinking growing season means many crop plans could appear to be too risky. High value spring wheat crops could be hurt by frost if they go in too late.

As well, most analysts expect that corn and soybean acres, which have been surging in Manitoba and were expected to become substantial in Saskatchewan this year, could fall every day that seeding it delayed past mid-May. Canola is also vulnerable to frost and farmers don’t like seeding it late, but it can often be planted before wheat, which could make it an early seeding choice for many farmers.

As well, Squair said crop insurance levels on canola are far more attrac-

tive than for spring wheat, so farmers worried about risk will probably find it a safer option.

“Maybe even though we should be seeding wheat this year, we won’t plant it because we don’t have confidence in it,” said Squair.

Driedger said analysts’ guesses are likely to be off because the weather situation is so variable that a few days of good or ill weather will change many farmers’ plans.

“A year like this might make for a few more changes than normal.”

GREEN PEAS | PRODUCTION OUTLOOK

Projected green pea acres will swallow premium

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Sky-high green pea prices will likely prompt overproduction this year, say analysts.

Statistics Canada’s survey of 13,805 farmers shows growers intend to seed 3.43 million acres of peas, up slightly from 3.34 million acres last year.

Seeded area is not broken down by class, but Stat Publishing forecasts a drop in yellow peas to 2.76 million acres from 2.9 million acres and a sizeable increase in green peas to 640,000 acres from 400,000.

Old crop green peas are selling for

$17 to $17.50 per bushel, which is almost double the $8.75 to $9.25 price for No. 2 or better yellow peas.

It’s much higher than the average $1 per bu. premium seen over the previous five years.

“It might be the most profitable crop in Western Canada right now,” said Stat Publishing editor Brian Clancey. However, an acreage increase of the magnitude he is forecasting would quickly shrivel the green pea premium.

And it’s not just a Canadian conundrum. U.S. growers have indicated they intend to plant 31 percent more peas than they did last year with most of the increase expected to be

in green peas.

“If other parts of the world grow more green peas, then we’re going to move from a fundamental shortage to an oversupply situation,” said Clancey.

Chuck Penner, analyst with LeftField Commodity Research, thinks acreage will not jump as much as Clancey is forecasting, partly because of a seed shortage.

The Statistics Canada pea number was 200,000 acres lower than Penner was anticipating, causing him to reduce his yellow and green pea acreage estimates.

“I was very bearish on green peas before and now I’m not as bearish.”

Penner said the outlook for significantly more acres in North America should make it easy for growers to decide to lock in some production at new crop prices of around $12 per bu., which is as high as he can remember for green peas.

“If that’s your worst sale of the year, you’re still in fabulous shape,” he said.

Green peas don’t have as much demand depth as yellow peas. It is hard for the crop to attract demand through lower prices, which means prices could fall sharply if acres are as high as Stat is forecasting.

“I would find it really hard to understand why anyone would conscious-

ly carry green peas over into the coming marketing year,” said Clancey.

It’s not often that new crop prices are $5 to $6 per bu. lower than old crop prices.

“That’s a lot of ground to recover,” he said.

Clancey agreed with Penner that growers should consider booking a portion of their anticipated production at today’s new crop values.

The one bullish factor is that green peas are more weather sensitive than yellow peas, and the longer seeding is delayed the bigger the risk that growers will have a tough time producing quality green peas.

WHEAT CLASS | PRICES

Weather keeps wheat class spreads in flux U.S. drought narrowed spread | Prairie growers are finding it difficult to compare returns

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Farmers will have to wait at least one more year to determine the “normal” spreads between prairie hard red spring wheat and the other wheat classes they are able to grow.

Analysts say the spreads between hard red spring and hard red winter, as well as between other classes and divisions within each class, will be volatile this year because wildly different weather conditions are affecting crops across North America.

“This could go in a lot of different directions,” said Austin Damiani of Frontier Futures in Minneapolis.

Drought in the U.S. soft red winter areas has been alleviated but is still a concern in the southern Plains where hard red winter wheat is grown. The hard red winter area has also recently been hit by severe cold weather, which has caused damage.

As well, the hard red spring wheat area is facing late seeding and possible flooding.

“This all depends on what happens when Canada and we here in the Dakotas get seeding, and how much damage there has been to hard red winter, and that’s not clear,” said Mike Krueger of the Money Farm.

The situation is vexing for prairie farmers because many who are able to grow winter wheat are trying to assess relative returns compared to hard red spring wheat.

Winter wheat tends to have higher

While hard red winter wheat is higher yielding, hard red spring wheat carried a premium under CWB single desk marketing. | USDA PHOTO yields than spring wheat. During the Canadian Wheat Board single desk era, hard red spring carried a substantial premium to most other types of wheat, offsetting winter wheat’s yield edge.

However, hard red spring often had quite different spreads to hard red winter in the United States: from no premium to premiums well above CWB pool prices.

Some on the Prairies felt they would be able to get better hard red spring premiums without the wheat board, while others thought there weren’t premiums and eliminating the CWB

monopoly would allow them to get better prices for non-hard red spring wheat. Many weren’t sure either way.

Prairie wheat prices have arbitraged to close to U.S. values since the CWB lost its monopoly, but U.S. values have been anything but normal since before the monopoly ended.

The devastating drought that ravaged the U.S. Midwest last year caused a surge in the value of both soft and hard red winter wheat values. That closed much of the gap with hard red spring for the fall and early winter.

Hard red spring’s premium relative

to the other wheat classes has improved in recent weeks, mainly due to slow winter wheat exports.

But then spring freezes hit the hard red winter area and spring came late to the Dakotas and the Canadian Prairies.

Krueger expects the spread between winter and spring hard wheat to narrow. Hard red winter could once more become everybody’s favourite wheat.

“Kansas City (hard) wheat is at a 30 to 40 cent premium to Chicago (soft), and I think that’s too narrow. I would

think the spread between Kansas City and Minneapolis will narrow too,” said Krueger.

“We know there’s frost damage (to hard red winter). They’ve had a drought. And people there say they need a week of warm weather to see what kind of damage there is.”

Coming weeks will reveal the damage done to hard red winter, the state of prairie seeding and the situation of soft red winter, with all those factors influencing North American prices.

World wheat production will also affect the spreads.

BARLEY | PRODUCTION

Time, price might be right for more barley acres

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Is this the year when barley gets its big bounce back?

Farmers and the weather will answer that question in the next six weeks.

“If we get into June (and there is still much seeding to do), you’ll see more barley and oats, and we expect that,” said Derek Squair, an adviser with Agri-Trend Marketing.

“It’s a good year to do it.”

Barley has slipped from farmers’ hearts in recent years as other crop options offer better relative returns and fewer marketing problems. Prairie farmers have long complained about growing and carefully managing malting barley, only to see it rejected and relegated to the feed market.

Feedgrain prices are usually well beneath food crop prices, and barley has not generally been a farmer’s No. 1 choice.

Barley breeding has not pushed yields forward in recent years, which has further reduced its appeal.

As well, the end of the CWB monopoly has increased some farmers’ interest in wheat. In the eastern Prairies there is growing attention on high-yielding corn. High feedgrain prices caused by last summer’s U.S.

Barley acres have been squeezed out by high-yielding corn and higher priced feed corn. | USDA PHOTOS

Midwest drought raised all feedgrain values, but corn more than barley.

Doug Hilderman of NorAg Resources hopes this summer gives farmers both a good agronomic reason to seed barley again and good returns for doing so.

Having barley in the bin in August and September could serve farmers well, considering that feed prices are high and malting barley buyers are attempting to keep growers interested. As well, growing barley avoids some of the risks of seeding a crop late.

“They’re cheap to plant, cheap to grow, low risk and there’s going to be a pretty vibrant malt-feed market,” said Hilderman, who sources grain for users. “The flooding hasn’t even happened yet in some areas.”

Charlie Pearson of Alberta Agriculture also thinks there will be a good harvest market for barley.

“There could be a demand point right off the combine,” said Pearson, noting the window between the Canadian barley harvest and the U.S. corn harvest.

Farmers will probably be able to sell

into the U.S. market in August and September because it is still short of feedgrains.

However, Pearson doesn’t expect a major increase in barley acres.

Farmers told Statistics Canada in late March that they intended to cut acreage by about two percent from last year. That’s probably changed, with acreage up a little, but not by a lot.

“I don’t necessarily see a monster increase in barley acres unless conditions really go to hell and unless we’re really, really delayed (with seeding),” said Pearson.

“I expect it to be even (acreage) to maybe up a shade.”

Hilderman thinks barley is due for a rebound in popularity with farmers, but only some of the recovery will be for positive reasons.

Farmers in warm areas such as southeastern Manitoba have aggressively embraced corn because of high profits in recent years. However, Hilderman thinks corn is still risky, even if recent years haven’t delivered early, killing frosts.

“This (weather of the past few years) hasn’t been normal. People think warm springs and open falls are normal,” said Hilderman.

A significant frost before harvest, which often occurs on the Prairies, “will temper the enthusiasm a little

bit. We all know that at some point there’s going to be a corn crop that’s worth a lot less than farmers are used to.”

SPECIAL CROPS | SEEDING

Forecast for canaryseed acres low, says official 2013 growing season | Analysts think market wants more canaryseed and mustard than Statistics Canada indicates

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Grain analysts think Statistics Canada’s canaryseed number is for the birds.

The government agency’s intentions survey indicated 190,000 acres of the crop, down from 300,000 acres last year and well below the 10-year average of 448,000 acres.

“I doubt we’ll see that kind of decline,” said Kevin Hursh, executive director of the Canaryseed Development Commission of Saskatchewan.

Hursh and special crops analysts were expecting a slight increase in plantings because of strong canaryseed prices.

Stat Publishing had pencilled in 320,000 acres before the release of Statistics Canada’s March seeding intentions report.

“The average grower bid so far this year is the best it has ever been in the history of canaryseed,” said Stat editor Brian Clancey.

“That’s part of the reason I thought canaryseed acreage ought to go up.”

If Statistics Canada is correct, average yields would result in 87,000 tonnes of production and a total supply of 100,000 tonnes. The last time Canada exported fewer than 100,000 tonnes was 1992.

Chuck Penner, analyst with LeftField Commodity Research, was also forecasting an increase in acres.

Underwhelming crop movement is

CANARYSEED ACRES IN CANADA 2009 370,000 2010 395,000 2011 275,000 2012 300,000 2013 190,000

MUSTARD ACRES IN CANADA 2009 525,000 2010 470,000 2011 328,000 2012 335,000 2013 345,000 Source: Statistics Canada | WP GRAPHIC

the only thing he can think of that would cause growers to avoid the crop this year.

Mexico is back to average import levels, but shipments to Europe and South America have been disappointing.

Hursh suspects more canaryseed will go in the ground than Statistics Canada is forecasting, especially considering the delayed seeding.

“I think the late spring could gravitate towards more canary acres just because canaryseed is often a crop that is put in later anyway. (It is) often times one of the last crops seeded,” he said.

Special crops analysts were surprised by Statistics Canada’s canaryseed forecast, which called for a drop of 110,000 acres. | FILE PHOTO “It is still susceptible to frost, but not so susceptible to wet fall and quality issues.”

The mustard number also surprised

Penner. Statistics Canada is forecasting 345,000 acres of the oilseed, up slightly from last year’s 335,00 acres but well below the 10-year average of

nearly 500,000 acres.

“That market needs more of an increase in production to keep it supplied,” he said.

“Most of the people I’ve talked to say we need at least 375,000 to 400,000 (acres) just to keep things at status quo.”

Penner believes mustard prices should be heading higher unless there is a surge in Black Sea production.

“If that’s where acres actually end up, it’s going to be a year of at least 40 cents for yellows all year long,” he said.

Hursh, who is also executive director of the Saskatchewan Mustard Development Commission, said new crop contracts for yellow and brown mustard are attractive.

He believes mustard is another crop that could benefit from seeding delays because it requires significantly less time to mature than canola.

“You would think that there’s going to be some increased demand to put mustard in the ground,” said Hursh.

Penner said growers shouldn’t be in a rush to sign new crop contracts, given the bullish price outlook for canaryseed and mustard.

“There’s not a panic for them to be pricing at this point. I think they can afford to sit back and let the market develop,” he said.

Hursh had a different take on the matter.

“At traditionally high prices, locking in a bit isn’t a bad plan,” he said.

FLASH CRASH | PROTECTION

Stop loss orders might not solve modern market problems HEDGE ROW

ED WHITE

I

t’s hard to have confidence in broken markets that are easy for big money to manipulate, especially if they’re used for risk management.

That’s why it’s so alarming to see versions of the 2010 “flash crash” recur in markets, as happened recently with a mini-crash in stock markets.

In a series of events better befitting a second rate thriller than a real world occurrence, a devious group calling itself the Syrian Electronic Army hacked into an Associated Press Twitter account April 23 and tweeted that explosions had been heard around the White House and that president Barack Obama was injured.

Nothing too substantial happened for a few moments, but then the market suddenly melted down: the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 150 points in a few moments and the Standard and Poors 500 index fell more than a full percent.

Then the White House pointed out

that the news item was untrue, and prices shot back to their previous levels.

Welcome to the world of high frequency trading (HFT) and algorithmic trading (the algos), combined with human deviousness.

The new feature here for most is the connection of HFT and the algos with Twitter. Some of the computerized, automatic trading programs, w h i c h c an trad e th ou s a n d s o f futures contracts per second, are now connected to tweets and news organization headlines, firing off buy and sell orders based on analyses of phrases and headlines on Twitter and on websites.

What appears to have happened with the recent flash crash is that a program or a number of programs reacted to discussion of the fake AP tweet and fired off sell orders. Other trend-chasing algos chased the falling market and drove it down quickly, and then other traders backed away from the market, sensing something was up. This caused the automated sell orders to slash prices until buy orders were finally found. Then it all went back the other way after the trend was reversed when the hack was revealed.

With prices back to about where they were before the momentary crash, was anyone hurt? You might think not, but imagine what would have happened to you if you had employed stops loss orders to protect yourself against declining prices.

Traders, brokers and retail investors routinely use stops as a prudent way to ensure that losses can be minimized if prices fall to a certain point. An automatic “sell” is triggered and the position closed. Buy stops can also be used if you’re on the other side of the market.

You might have thought you were protecting a position with a stop, but in reality your position was sold far beneath where it began because of the flash crash and prices then shot back up to where they had previously been. Not only was your hedge lifted, but it was lifted at a loss to prices that day. That happens to people in every flash crash.

It’s a new form of the old phenomenon of “whipsawing,” in which prices move dramatically one way, stops are triggered at loss levels and then the price moves back toward where it began. This happened long before computerized trading programs and was a product of clients having standing orders that traders felt compelled to respect. So in that way, there’s nothing new here.

But what is definitely new is just how dramatically prices can be made to move with no way for most to react. In that context, stops can become a new element of risk in a hedging or investing strategy, introducing exactly the kind of volatility and risk that the hedge was put in place to avoid.

I got a mixed response when I asked traders and brokers whether they still use stops to protect client positions.

One told me that they use them during the day trading sessions, when people are around to monitor that the market hasn’t gone haywire.

However, they always eliminate them before the overnight sessions, when the much lower liquidity means there is a higher chance of them being triggered and the markets manipulated.

Another told me he uses them especially for overnight trading because violent price wrenches are particularly likely to happen then.

Another said he uses stops, but much more carefully and not in the automatic way he would have 10 years ago.

Fortunately for farmers, this flash crash didn’t cause much disruption to crop futures contracts, so it’s doubtful any farmer was busted out of a hedge because of it. The meltdown was limited to a thin collection of contracts and equities and didn’t leak far into the broader markets.

But it certainly draws attention to the incredible influence speculative money, investment funds and HFT have on short term prices in futures markets and a hedger’s ability to use those markets to hedge risk.

Some condemn speculative money in markets, but I don’t. I think the specs add liquidity, which is a good thing. However, the computerized, high frequency trading programs are different.

They are able to swamp a market

suddenly, and not as part of any trading strategy other than spotting or creating a trend and chasing and pushing it as far as possible to make a buck. Volatility and instability are their point rather than a side effect.

My last column concluded that aberrations in the Chicago oats futures contract were disturbing for people using them for short-term trading, but were irrelevant to long term prices. As long as people hung on through weird market events such as a cascading selloff that isn’t justified by market or fundamental factors, they ended up doing as well as if nothing odd had happened. In other words, short-term volatility didn’t result in different long-term prices.

But phenomena like flash crashes contain the danger of making shortterm aberrations become the longterm reality because if you’re busted out of a position when your stop fires, the depressed price you sold at becomes your price.

Sometime in the future, HFTs and the algos will probably cause such outrageous damage to someone that regulatory controls will be imposed to prevent them abusing and contorting markets.

However, until that happens, farmers not only have to worry about risk from the weather and from market fluctuations but also whether their carefully hedged position has become a new and dangerous form of risk, rather than a way to avoid it.

USDA REPORT | SEEDING

U.S. corn seeding a reminder of disastrous 1993 season MARKET WATCH

D’ARCE McMILLAN

A

s I write this April 29, the longrange forecast is for mostly sunny and warm weather for most of the Prairies. I hope it is correct.

We might avoid a repeat of 2010 and 2011 if rain and snow hold off in May. In those two years, a wet May compounded the excess moisture prob-

lems presented by a heavy snow pack.

April was drier than normal in much of the northern grain belt and Manitoba this year, so farmers might be able to make quick progress once the snow is gone.

However, it has also been a wet spring in the U.S. Midwest, with a lot of the area receiving 150 to 200 percent of normal precipitation in April. This has delayed seeding.

The shift over the weekend of April 27-28 to a wetter outlook for this week caused the corn market to catch fire April 29.

Thirty-one percent of the U.S. corn crop is normally in the ground by the last few days of April, and about 37 percent of spring wheat is seeded.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture reported that only five percent of the corn crop and 12 percent of spring wheat were in the ground as of April 28.

That was the slowest pace of planting since 1993, when the great Mississippi flood occurred, one of the worst to ever hit the United States.

Corn yields that year were the worst of the 1990s, down 23 percent from the previous year and down 16 percent from the previous three-year average. Also, corn harvested acreage fell 13 percent from the previous year.

It was also a challenging year for prairie production, with cool and wet summer delaying maturity. In September, frost hit the still immature crop, knocking down grades.

Retailers should be buying to cover their beef needs for the May long weekend. Improved demand for ribs and loins will help rally the beef complex.

cent to 21,500 head.

Weekly Canadian feeder exports to April 13 fell 30 percent to 10,291 head.

If the market continues to follow the historical seasonal trend, 850 lb. feeder steers should rise through the second quarter and 550 lb. steers, out past May, should generally trend lower.

If farmers shift canola acres to barley because of late seeding that might lower barley prices and increase demand for light feeders.

Luckily for American Midwest farmers, 1993 is not a perfect analogy for 2013.

This year’s extra moisture fell on land that had suffered drought last year, while in 1993 the soil was already saturated from a rainy autumn and heavy snow pack, and the water ran off into creeks and rivers, leading to the Mississippi flood.

The market impact of that flood was reduced because of a huge carry-in of corn from the previous bumper crop.

This year, the carry-in will be tight, leaving little room for production problems.

If May turns out to be wet, all those predictions of a huge U.S. crop weighing down the price of all grain will have to be reassessed.

Another factor to keep an eye on is the recent turn to dry weather in Ukraine and parts of Russia Meanwhile, wheat analysts participated this week in the U.S. Wheat Quality Council’s annual hard red wheat tour.

They are expected to release a production forecast by May 2. Hot weather early in the week might have made the freeze and drought damage more apparent.

CANFAX REPORT FED CATTLE RALLY Warmer weather that should spark improved beef demand helped fed steers average $118.29 per hundredweight last week, up $4.43, and heifers averaged $117.13, up $2.81.

Most dressed trade was at $196$198 per cwt. delivered.

The last of the fall-placed yearlings are being marketed, and there appears to be a lag before more calves are market-ready.

There is a strong price difference between yearlings and calves, with long-fed cattle fetching a premium over greener calves.

Captive and front-end packer supplies have tightened.

Packer competition was evident and bids strengthened.

U.S. packer inquiries were reported, but no sales were substantiated.

Weekly sale volume totalled 9,267 head, down four percent from last week.

The Alberta fed cash-to-futures basis improved to -$12.04 from $16.58 the previous week. Weekly fed exports to April 13 were 11,336, up 10 percent.

Market-ready supplies will remain manageable but increased volumes of calves are anticipated.

Packers could be facing tighter captive supplies, putting more attention on the cash market.

COW PRICES DOWN Calving season fallout has seasonally increased non-fed cow marketings.

Slaughter cow prices fell $1.50$1.75 per cwt. D1, D2 cows ranged $73-$86 to average $78. D3s ranged $65 to $75 to average $69.93.

Rail grade cows were $150-$155 per cwt. delivered.

Butcher bulls fell $1 per cwt. to average $88.45.

Weekly western Canadian non-fed slaughter to April 20 fell 11 percent to 5,901 head.

Weekly non-fed exports to April 13 rose 18 percent to 7,847 head.

Nonfed exports have helped make up for reduced slaughter.

FEEDER PRICES STABILIZE The stronger fed market helped support feeder prices, as did export demand. Seasonally tighter supplies also contributed to price stability.

Stockers and feeders weighing less than 700 pounds fell 50 cents-$1.50 per cwt. Those heavier than 700 lb. rose $1.

ENVIRONMENT | STEWARDSHIP

CRAIG’S VIEW

Consider our progress in wake of Earth Week

A

nother Earth Week has come and gone. Like its predecessors, it delivered many suggestions for improving the planet and many gloomy forecasts about a world fraught with problems.

Observations about the progress made in our level of care for this planet were far less evident. So during this Earth Weekplus one, consider the strides agriculture has made in earth care.

It takes half as much land per person to produce our meat, dairy and poultry supply than it did 45 years ago, reports Farmers Feed Cities.

That speaks to higher productivity made possible through improvements in land stewardship, soil management, plant breeding, scientific research, mechanical improvement, technological application, animal health and economic efficiency.

It takes less than 24 months to produce an 840-pound beef carcass in today’s agricultural world, reports the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association. One hundred years ago, it took two to three years, during which the animal consumed more resources and emitted more methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Improvements in feed and feed conversion have made this possible.

Livestock production makes use of land unsuitable for cultivation, while maintaining wildlife habitat and fostering biodiversity. Grasslands subject to responsible grazing are also sustainable carbon sinks.

Even bigger strides have been made on the crop side. Reduced tillage has contributed to improved soil health, reduced erosion, increased carbon sequestration and superior water retention, filtration and use.

Productivity per acre has risen markedly in the last 20 years and the higher it is, the less land must be converted from native prairie and forests to produce food for a growing global population.

Ever greater attention is paid to water quantity, quality, movement and use.

Irrigation is steadily becoming more effi-

cient, primarily through use of improved water delivery technology.

Research constantly adds to the body of knowledge on ground water, infiltration and use by plants, animals and people.

Agriculture has also responded to calls for reduced reliance on fossil fuels by diversifying into biofuel production.

Globally, that production increased by more than 500 percent between 2000 and 2011 because of higher oil prices and biofuel mandates.

Like so many aspects of agriculture, biofuel production is a two-edged sword, having fostered the food versus fuel debate. The fact that fewer acres are needed to produce meat generates criticism about intensive livestock operations, manure use and animal husbandry.

Each change has its tradeoffs.

The point is, agriculture is able to react in a responsible way to challenges imposed by changing conditions, a changing environment and changing demands of the public.

“While world population has increased more than fourfold since 1900, other things have increased, too: the area of crops by 30 percent, harvests by 600 percent,” writes author Matt Ridley in his book, The Rational Optimist: How Prosperity Evolves.

“This generation has experienced more peace, freedom, leisure time, education, medicine and travel than any in history.

Yet it laps up gloom at every opportunity.”

So let’s not buy into doom and gloom.

Our concerns for our planet’s health should not supersede recognition of the strides we have made in its protection and the use we’ve made of resources for its inhabitants. Understanding our progress helps guide future improvement.

There are challenges ahead. We need to acknowledge and plan for them. The record shows that the agricultural sector is willing to meet those challenges as best it can.

NATURE | SPRING

CONSERVATIVE MPS | EXPRESSING OPINIONS

Conservative MPs mustering courage to speak up against party control NATIONAL VIEW

BARRY WILSON

F

or want of a more creative term, let’s call it the Tory Spring on Parliament Hill.

After seven years of disciplined government under prime minister Stephen Harper and his party disciplinarians, there is a stirring among Conservative backbenchers chafing under the control.

Undoubtedly, part of the stirring is because Harper now enjoys a major-

ity government. Unlike the five years of minority government when party discipline was key to government survival, these days the Conservatives have clear sailing at least until October 2015.

So if there is no threat to the government, why muzzle MPs, the restless MPs seem to be asking.

It must look increasingly like simple message control.

First came protests from British Columbia backbench MP Mark Warawa that he had been forbidden by his party to deliver a statement in favour of his private member’s bill opposing gender-selective abortion.

A committee of Conservative and opposition MPs had already decided the bill could not come to a vote.

But Warawa cracked when he was told he could not even make a state-

ment on the issue because the Conservative government did not want the abortion debate raised at risk of alienating Canadians suspicious of a Tory “hidden agenda” on the issue.

The MP appealed to speaker Andrew Sheer, a Saskatchewan Conservative, to give him the right to voice his own opinions without party control.

Remarkably, close to a dozen other Conservatives rose to support him.

Not all were on the same side of the abortion issue but all thought an MP with the support of tens of thousands of constituents was elected to be more than a meat puppet for party bosses.

Sheer did the almost impossible, splitting the difference.

He affirmed the right of parties to give him a list of approved speakers

for the 15 minutes of House daily time set aside for member statements. This (sort of) kept him on the side of the party pooh-bahs.

However, he said he would not be entirely bound by lists if excluded MPs caught his eye and wanted to speak.

This actually was a challenge to MPs. If you want to defy party brass, you might get recognized to do just that.

Since the ruling, rogue MPs have not been prominent in the Commons, but Sheer clearly sent a message to private MPs. Screw up your courage. This is your House of Commons, too.

Then came the second backbench challenge. Saskatoon-Humboldt Conservative Brad Trost, not known as a Tory rabble-rouser, launched a debate to propose that members of

Parliament choose chairs of parliamentary committees in secret ballot rather than the leaders’ offices.

At present, there is a fiction of an election by committee members, but as in North Korea, only one candidate ever is nominated.

Trost went out of his way to say he was not criticizing current chairs or the government but rather trying to improve “the image of democratic accountability” on Parliament Hill.

Again, both Conservatives and some opposition MPs supported him with one more hour of debate to go before a vote. It hardly is revolutionary, but it is another shot across the bow of increasingly strict party control on both sides.

Democratic dissent appears to be breaking out in the Canadian temple of democratic debate.

& OPEN FORUM GENETIC MODIFICATION | IMPORTANT INNOVATION

RACE | LESSONS LEARNED

Biotechnology opposition off base

Sahara race was no picnic, but worth it

BY LORNE HEPWORTH

nnovation is key to keeping Canada’s agricultural sector strong.

Science-based regulatory systems ensure that such innovations are safe for human health and the environment.

Innovations derived through modern plant breeding help farmers, are good for the environment and deliver tangible benefits to consumers by way of lower food costs. Agricultural innovation, including plant biotechnology, has played a strong role in that success.

Farmers are rapidly accepting new genetically modified traits because they help control threats to productivity such as weeds, insects and disease.

These genetically enhanced crops can also reduce or eliminate the need for farmers to plow the land to control weeds, which significantly enriches soil and reduces erosion.

A report released by the International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-Biotech Applications found that Canadian farmers continue to choose to plant GM crops because of the benefits they see in terms of improved yields and quality and environmental sustainability. Close to 29 million acres of biotech crops were planted in Canada last year.

Canada isn’t alone in adopting this technology. Millions of farmers in 28 countries planted biotech crops last year. The global area of biotech crops has increased 100 fold since they were first commercialized in 1996, making it the fastest adopted technology in recent history.

Unfortunately, many long-time opponents continue to ignore the

EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

Traits that helped participants endure the desert run are what also help us cope with life

I Opponents of biotechnology, such as these recently protesting against GM alfalfa, continually ignore the proven benefits of modern agriculture, says CropLife Canada president Lorne Hepworth. | FILE PHOTO many benefits of new technologies.

Instead, they continue to use the same false and fear-based messages to try to convince Canadians that these technologies are somehow bad.

Recent protests that took place across the country were nothing more than a special interest group trying to get attention to support its fundraising than about any real health concerns.

The truth is that Canada is wellknown for its exceptional sciencebased regulatory system and for ensuring that human health, environmental consideration and live-

stock feed safety are all considered before a new crop is authorized in Canada.

In addition, the industry has a long history of ensuring its products are properly managed throughout their entire life cycle, which includes developing best management practices to address concerns such as the ability of various farming operations to coexist.

In the case of GM alfalfa, all that would be required to ensure that conventional and organic farms can coexist is for farmers to harvest the plant before it flowers. No pollen, no

seed, no problem.

The reality is that regardless of the innovation, these same groups would have protested. They continually undermine the proven benefits of modern agriculture, and we expect they always will.

Such a shame, really, when one considers that increasing food demands mean that innovations in agriculture are more important than ever before.

MARKETING EXPERTISE | HIRING HELP

Marketing advice can pay, but no guarantees HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

“

T

he price of red lentils has sure improved,” I said in the normal course of conversation with a farmer. His face went unusually sombre.

“Yeah, looks like I’ve left about $50,000 on the table,” he replied.

“Who ever thought red lentils could get to 27 or even 28 cents? Nobody I talked to was predicting that.”

While red lentils have seen a surprising price surge, the big lottery win has come to those capturing green pea prices of $17 or $18 a bushel.

The reason for the astronomical price is short supply in a commodity

that can’t easily be substituted.

Everyone dreams about selling at a big price, but you can be too greedy.

More sales are made into a falling market than when prices are rising.

How do you know when to pull the trigger? There’s no magic answer.

You can follow markets closely, read market reports and talk directly with analysts. It’s increasingly common to pay a company for market advice. And you still might end up selling in the bottom third of the market on some commodities.

If analysts could predict market moves with absolute certainty, they wouldn’t need to work as analysts.

They’d already be rich. However, doing research and taking advice will generally lead to better decisions in a world where price volatility seems to be the new norm.

It’s rare to reflect on marketing decisions and not have some regrets.

Sometimes the missteps are devastating: big chunks of money that could have been earned with a better strategy.

Producers use a range of approaches based on their philosophy, the size of their bank account and their aversion to risk.

Some jump at an opportunity to lock in a profitable price. Their seeding plans are adjusted based on new crop pricing opportunities that will pay all the bills. For them, farming is already a big gamble. A bit of pricing certainty is welcomed.

At the other end are the bold and brash who never pre-price. They’re willing to bet that prices will turn out better than the early opportunities.

They don’t want to miss out on possible bragging rights at the coffee shop. They’ll store some commodities for years if they’re not happy with the price.

Sometimes decisions are relatively easy to make. If you’re planting expensive green pea seed this spring, you may want to pre-price some of the expected production.

Contracts are available in the $12 a bu. range and they come with an act of God clause, so you’re not taking

any production risk.

The cure for high prices is high prices, and you have to think that a lot more green peas are going into the ground both here and in the United States this spring. There’s always a chance that prices after harvest will be higher than $12, but there’s also a great deal of downside potential.

The pre-pricing decision isn’t as clear cut on red lentils. New crop prices are sitting at 24 cents. That’s profitable, but there’s a good chance prices will be just as good or even better in the fall.

Everyone has a different skill set.

Some producers are strong on agronomics. Others excel at equipment repair and modifications. Some really enjoy marketing their crops.

Others hate it.

If marketing is your weak link, get help. Just realize that even the experts don’t have a crystal ball.

t has been more than two weeks since I crossed the finish line of the Marathon des Sables, a 230 kilometre race across the Sahara Desert in Morocco.

New skin is growing over the blisters on my toes and heels and my ankles are no longer swollen.

Just like having a baby, the pain no longer seems quite as bad as it did with each painful step during the race.

The MDS is billed as the hardest foot race on Earth, the equivalent of six marathons in seven days. It was certainly the toughest race I have run.

Every single day of the race I was in pain. My legs didn’t hurt much, my 20 pound pack seemed bearable and the 54 C heat was manageable with my water and salt pills and my slow pace.

What hurt with every step were my feet.

The combination of alternating rocky terrain, sand dunes, mountains and heat created the perfect environment for blisters that plagued my entire race. Each night I would hobble into the bivouac, drop my pack at our tent and line up at the medical tent with the other disabled to have my blisters popped, iodine poured into the wounds and new tape reapplied. By Day 2, my swollen sausage toes barely fit into my too tight running shoes.

After 28 years, race organizers know pain is not a reason to drop out of the race, and runners are encouraged to keep walking toward the finish line. They know people can do really hard things.

One runner from Quebec flagged down a medical truck on Day 4, the 75 km leg, and told the medics he was quitting. After asking a series of medical questions, the medics told him the pain was all in his head and to use his flare if things got bad and drove off.

He finished the race.

When I heard of the MDS several years ago, I believed you needed to be a super athlete to even sign up.

Yes, the winners are amazing athletes who can run for hours in the heat, but the race also shows that anyone with perseverance and doggedness can cross the finish line. It’s those traits that carry most people through life.

Re: European trade deal over hyped, says group (WP March 7) In Barry Wilson’s article, National Farmers Union Alberta co-coordinator Jan Slomp suggests that the benefits of increased European Union trade access though the Canada-EU comprehensive economic and trade agreement (CETA) are being overhyped. This analysis is wrong. The Canada-EU CETA has the potential to increase trade across Canada’s agri-food industry, including the beef and pork sectors.

It is true that Canada currently has a

very small amount of access to the EU for beef and pork and that access is not being fully used. That is the very point of negotiating a free trade deal.

For four years, Canada’s negotiators, supported by organizations like the Canadian Agri-Food Trade Alliance and its members, have been working to secure access to the EU that provides benefits to Canada’s agri-food industry and that, in addition to securing commercially meaningful access, address issues like quota administration and regulatory issues that block trade.

With respect to existing beef and pork quotas to the EU, Mr. Slomp fails to note that the existing quota is mired in complexities that make it

difficult to utilize.

Existing pork quotas have very high duty rates and quota administration requirements that are unnecessarily complex and make much of the quota inaccessible.

On the beef side, the quota is highly prescriptive and, like pork, Canadian plant approvals are difficult and costly to obtain, discouraging the necessary investment by Canadian companies.

These are the very issues the CETA aims to address. Recent free trade agreements the EU has negotiated (e.g. Chile, Mexico) have provided tariff quotas with low or zero tariffs and much easier administrative rules with the result that these quotas are

being filled; exactly as we are expecting to do with the access Canada is able to negotiate.

CAFTA and its members, including the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association, the National Cattle Feeder’s Association, Alberta Beef Producers, Alberta Cattle Feeder’s Association, Canadian Pork Council, Canada Pork International and the Canadian Meat Council are working with Canadian trade negotiators to secure a solid and beneficial deal for Canada’s agri-food sectors. They, together with CAFTA and CAFTA’s full membership, are working overtime to secure a trade deal that works for Canadian farmers.

Recently one Danny Penner has been advocating for one “super” farm group to speak with one voice. It’s not a novel idea and has been around for as long as there have been farmers.

Previously, many farmers thought the Pools and the Canadian Wheat Board, which had farmer-elected directors and delegates, were the spokespeople for farmers.

But this government, many industry members and some farmers felt these groups were not needed.

They believed the industry would look after us and often contended a strong industry leads to prosperous farmers.

Mr. Penner states, “While it is widely agreed that changes in an open market will continue to benefit producers …” It seems ironic he also contends a super group is needed in an open market that he thinks will benefit producers.

He can’t have it both ways.

He also states, “If Canadian farmers want to maintain control of the agriculture industry, they need to work to form a unified voice.”

What he has missed is that Canadian farmers presently do not control the agriculture industry.

Many of the present groups are ineffective as farmer voices and they have been infiltrated by the industry and in some cases industry representatives even sit on the executives of these groups.

Many farmers will not even belong to a farm group as they feel they are unnecessary and too expensive.

Most farmers strongly supported the single voice they had with the Pools and the CWB, but too many were too shortsighted to see the importance of a single independent voice.

Industry and farmers will never have the same vision or voice. Farmers certainly need an independent voice to balance industry power, but we will not find that in the current crippled commodity and Astroturf groups.

DROUGHT SUPPORT To the Editor: When it comes to addressing the devastating effects of desertification and drought in developing coun-

OPINION tries, our focus should be on initiatives that make a measurable difference in people’s lives, including in drought-stricken regions of the world, rather than giving money to an organization where little of Canada’s investment was going to address drought.

For instance, Canada helps smallholder farmers throughout Africa produce food, increase their incomes and become more sustainable.

Building the capacity of developing countries to respond to weatherrelated challenges is essential to reducing poverty and the vulnerability of populations.

Canada has also supported the Productive Safety Net Program in Ethiopia, which has helped feed 7.6 million people while at the same time addressing underlying causes of food insecurity through construction of soil conservation structures and tree-planting.

AGING | PERSPECTIVE

Getting older can be a gift SPIRITUAL VIGNETTES

JOYCE SASSE

I

t upsets me when someone talks about the misery of their “golden years” as if aging is a curse. Our lives have been extended, but our expectations haven’t always kept pace.

In a recent T V program, older women spoke about what aging meant to them. Each felt her life had become richer with age.

They talked about learning to move beyond outward appearance.

Changes can be expected, so why grieve over what was part of the past?

One woman said, “While my body is shrinking, my perspective on the world is broadening.”

Instead of reaching for prescriptions, they suggested we look at our p a i n s a s a s o u rc e o f i n f o r m a tion. What does this teach me? Can I reduce it? Live with it? Are there alternative means of treatment that can open new vistas for me?

We get so caught up in the white waters of life — with our spouse, family, community and whirls of negativity. How can we pull into a quiet inlet, catch our breath, look for fresh opportunities and rediscover what it is that gives life meaning? Grief and anger sap our strength and destroy the opportunities available to regroup our spirits.

Remember that “aging allows for wisdom, but aging doesn’t guarantee wisdom.” It’s up to us to choose our course.

When I retired early, after a lifetime of education and a fulfilling career, many were dismayed by my decision — as if they thought my life was ending — but there were many opportunities.

God has given us the capacity to enjoy enchanted lives and to channel our energy, experience and vision so as to discover a fuller and richer today. Awesome, isn’t it?

Joyce Sasse writes for the Canadian Rural Church Network at www.canadian ruralchurch.net.

This program helped to ensure that the 2011 drought in eastern Africa did not become a crisis in Ethiopia on the scale seen in neighbouring countries.

These are only a few among many examples of tangible results that people who live in drought-stricken areas of Africa deserve, and that Canadians expect from their investments in international development.

HIGH PRAISE To the Editor: Re: Juggling cattle operation with family a balancing act (WP Feb. 21) I don’t write to criticize, I write to praise.

As a student, I often learn more about the negative aspects of agriculture than the positive ones. In class, we learn of the challenges of starting a farming operation, the decrease in family run farms in Canada, and the toll it can take on home life. At times it can seem like an impossible endeavour. So when I read articles such as the one on the Davidson family, I find it very encouraging to hear of their young family embarking on an operation of their own.

The Davidson family has also managed to balance their operation with a healthy home life, a feat that doesn’t always come easy with the stress of running a cattle operation and periods of economic uncertainty.

Although many small-scale farms find it increasingly challenging to compete with industrial operations, the Davidson family shows that with a business plan and a strategy, new

THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | MAY 2, 2013

farmers are able to take on this challenge and overcome significant adversity.

Unfortunately, starting a farm and maintaining it is no longer a regular occurrence, so I would like to thank you for highlighting this family, their drive, and what they stand for in their endeavour.

Shelby Reid, Red Deer, Alta.

FECKLESS RESPONSE To the Editor: In his response to a letter of mine, John De Pape (WP Mar. 28) wrote, “Currie’s arguments are based on erroneous assumptions.”

First of all, I made it clear that my letter was about durum and hard spring wheat and stated that the U.S.

13

produces about 80 percent of its requirements of these grains.

Then I backed this up with a quotation from the chairman of the U.S. Millers Association saying exactly that.

De Pape ignored this and went on to show that the U.S. has a surplus of wheat, which is correct but irrelevant when all classes of wheat are included. De Pape also said I am “misguided” in believing the CWB got a premium for wheat sold in the U.S. He said this in spite of the fact that the quotation referred to above also said “… we are forced to pay higher, not lower, prices for Canadian wheat.”

De Pape distorted or ignored almost everything I had written.

I am puzzled he took the time to write such a feckless response.

ORGANICS | MARKET GROWTH

Fruit, vegetables top growing organic demand Organic coffee also popular | Major grocery stores are devoting more space to organic goods, including dairy and eggs

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Organic sales continue to grow at an impressive rate in Canada, according to a new study.

Food and beverage revenues reached $2.98 billion last year, which represents 1.7 percent of total Canadian grocery sales. That’s up from approximately a 1.3 percent share in 2008.

“When we look at the rest of the food sector, we’re not seeing anything like this type of growth,” said Matthew Holmes, executive director of the Canada Organic Trade Association.

Mainstream retail grocery stores accounted for 45 percent of organic sales, with the remainder of purchases happening at health food stores, online retail outlets, farmers markets and restaurants.

Fruit and vegetables comprised 40 percent of organic sales. Beverages narrowly beat out dairy and eggs to capture second place at 16 percent because of strong sales of organic coffee.

British Columbia led all provinces, with organics accounting for nearly three percent of grocery sales, nearly double the market share in the rest of the country.

Rob Gerlsbeck, editor of Canadian Grocer magazine, said a .4 percentage point increase in market share over four years may not sound like a lot, but it is impressive considering the total grocery pie is worth more than $100 billion.

“Organics has become a much bigger category in grocery stores. It has gone really mainstream,” he said.

Major retailers are devoting more

shelf space to organic goods, especially in the produce aisle. It meshes well with another trend: increased label scrutiny by customers.

“You’re seeing companies cleaning up their ingredient lists, trying to cut out all the chemical type things and really simplify the ingredients,” said Gerlsbeck.

Consumers view the “Canada Organic” certification logo as a symbol of pure and natural food.

Holmes said the market for organic food shrunk during the global economic recession but has bounced back, partly because of the launch of Canada’s organic regulation in 2009.

“It’s pretty clear that the organic market continues to grow,” he said.

Price premiums for organic grain have returned after a lengthy hiatus, which saw a lot of growers exit the market.

Leslie Johnson, marketing manager for Growers International Organic Sales Inc., recently estimated the industry lost one-quarter of its growers in Western Canada because of the price collapse and a few years of wet growing conditions that led to a proliferation of hard-tocontrol weeds.

Holmes insists the industry hasn’t lost any of its 3,600 to 3,800 farmers over the past few years, but main-

Saskatchewan grass fire burns up to 5,500 acres High winds fan flames through Grasslands National Park

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

An intense grass fire raged through southwestern Saskatchewan last weekend, burning thousands of acres of old vegetation in Grasslands National Park.

Larry Grant, reeve of the Rural Municipality of Val Marie, said the fire started sometime before noon April 27 and was under control by about 10 the next morning.

It began on agricultural land outside park boundaries two kilometres west of Highway 4 and 10 km south of Val Marie.

Winds gusting to 100 km-h fanned the flames, which jumped the highway, a grid road and the Frenchman River at least two times as it made its way through the park.

Superintendent Katherine Patterson said April 29 a helicopter will be used to confirm how much area was burned, but estimates are 5,500 acres.

“It was about a 20 km swath, varying from one to five km wide,” she said.

Grant said he has never seen a fire like it.

“It’s the worst I’ve seen because of the length of time,” he said.

“Maybe (others have been) as intense but very short lived.”

He said the fire moved so fast it went through a new campground in the park without burning a picnic table.

The cause of the fire is unknown, but Grant said humidity in the area was only 18 percent, temperatures were warm and conditions were dry.

As many as 200 people were fighting the fire at times, including Parks Canada staff from Banff, Alta., and provincial firefighters from Prince Albert, Alta.

However, Grant said many locals came out, unasked, with water tanks, shovels and equipment. Many stayed through the night.

For many Saskatchewan farmers, the easiest way to deal with used grain bags is the illegal way — with a can of gas and a book of matches on a moonlit night.

But Travis Quirk thinks most farmers would use alternative disposal methods if they were available.

Quirk, the agricultural plastics recycling co-ordinator with Saskatchewan’s Provincial Council of Agriculture Development and Diversification Boards (PCAB), said farmers want to do the right thing.

For proof, he points to a PCAB pilot project that has collected nearly 300,000 kilograms of used grain bag plastic over the past two years.

The pilot project established about a dozen regional collection sites where farmers can deliver used grain bag plastic for free.

Each collection site is managed by a regional co-ordinator and has a trailer-mounted, hydraulic grain bag roller that farmers can sign out rent-free.

Producers roll the bags and deliver the plastic to collection sites.

When inventories are large enough, the bags are loaded onto trucks and transported to recycling companies that process the high-grade plastic into recycled plastic pellets.

The pellets, which look similar to a large lentil, are sold to manufacturers and used in plastic products.

“The plastic itself is desirable,” said Quirk.

“It’s a large amount of plastic. It’s a high-quality plastic and it’s fairly clean ,” he said.

“It’s a pretty easy product for recycling companies to handle.”

The PCAB project began in the spring of 2011 and concludes next March, although Quirk is optimistic PCAB will remain involved in grain bag recycling after the province imposes a mandatory grain bag recycling program beginning next April.

Administering the program costs $105,000 a year, which the province has covered.

PCAB invested $50,000 to buy trailers and bag rollers.

Some recyclers will pay $100 a tonne for used grain bag plastic, but collection and shipping costs make it

hard to sell used bags at a profit.

Producers near Unity, Sask., have proved that farmers will recycle their grain bag plastic if they have the opportunity.

The PCAB collection site at Unity has collected 700 to 800 bags since it was established two years ago.

“Unity has got a very strong program,” Quirk said.

“Probably about 40 percent of all the plastic that we’ve collected in the program so far has come from that one site alone. They got the word out to a lot of farmers and they had good uptake right away.”

Jarrett Lewin, a grain grower from the Unity area, said the pilot program has worked well.

Lewin, who lives 30 kilometres from the collection site, tries to book the P C AB roller ever y time he removes grain from a grain bag.

The plastic should be rolled immediately to avoid snow and ice buildup and eliminate pest problems.

Lewin stores the rolled bags at his farm until he has enough material to justify a trip to the regional collection site.

The roller’s availability can be an issue.

In some cases, dozens of farmers are hauling grain at the same time and demand for the roller is high.

Some farmers buy their own rollers.

Lewin is planning to build one, when he finds time.

He said more farmers would be willing to roll their bags if there was a financial incentive.

“For me, I try to do it as a stewardship thing. It’s part of the cost of doing business,” he said.

“But I have talked to farmers who say, ‘if they’re not paying you anything for it, why bother doing it?’

Personally, I would be willing to pay an environmental fee, as long as there’s a return on it.”

A refundable environmental fee, similar to what exists for pop cans, would likely result in more recycled plastic, he said.

However, a refund system would also add costs to collection.

For starters, each site collection would likely require a weigh scale to ensure that refunds were paid accurately.

Summer-only deliveries could address weight discrepancies related to ice and snow buildup in the plastic.

PUBLIC RESEARCH | FUNDING

Research funding inadequate, says Maple Leaf executive

Loblaws’ rejection of sow stalls applauded by animal rights group

Research dollars | Rory McAlpine warns that animal genetics won’t progress without an increase in publicly funded research

BY ROBERT ARNASON

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Canada’s food industry risks falling behind other countries because of the government’s declining support for publicly funded research, says the vice-president of one of Canada’s largest food companies.

As well, the increased emphasis on private research holds dangers for the industry.

Rory McAlpine, vice-president of Maple Leaf Foods for government and industry relations, told the Senate agriculture committee April 25 that while he and his company support research funding by the private sector, it has limits.

“I fear we have moved too far in that direction toward private,” he said.

Intellectual property rights on new genetic developments held by private companies are not available for general research advancement in the public domain.

“In the case of the livestock industry, if a lot of that primary research is not done in animal genetics by a public source, I worry it will not be

done and we will not get the same kind of benefits we did with the development of animal breeds in Canada going back many generations,” said McAlpine.

Although he was invited before the committee in part to talk about the role of traceability systems to advance the meat industry, the Maple Leaf executive said traceability “has a role but a small role.”

Research, tax policy, infrastructure and regulations are more important.

He flagged research as a particular concern, noting that the national science and technology strategy of 2007 did not mention the agri-food sector.

“How did we let that happen?” asked McAlpine. “How did we let (happen) the fact that Agriculture Canada now has 50 percent fewer scientists today than it did in 1992?”

He said international estimates are that agricultural research and development spending increased by 22 percent on average between 2000 and 2008. “In Canada, it has remained flat and of course, has declined in real terms.”

The industry executive noted that

in the new federal-provincial agricultural policy framework, close to $700 million has been allocated over the next five years to support innovation. Industry will be tapping into that funding.

“However, this cannot disguise the fact that public funding in agri-food research has been declining in real terms,” said McAlpine.

He also noted that despite a strong trade promotion agenda by the federal government, Canada’s net trade in processed food products has gone from a $1 billion deficit in 2004 to $6.3 billion in 2011. In the past seven years, 54 food manufacturing plants have closed with 8,000 job losses and more to come this summer.

“Our processed food exports have grown but imports are growing much faster,” said McAlpine.

For the food industry, he said the billion dollar South Korean market is a particular concern.

Canadian free trade talks with Korea are stalled while the United States and the European Union both have deals that are introducing tariff reductions for their food product exports to the growing market.

Canadian grocery giant will remove hog farms using sow stalls from its list of suppliers by 2022 BRANDON BUREAU

Beginning in 2022, Loblaws has committed to buy pork from farms where sows are not kept in stalls.

T h e Ca na d i a n Fe d e rat i o n o f Humane Societies lauded Loblaws decision to move away from sow crates.

“This decision puts Loblaw on the side of animal welfare science and public opinion,” said Barbara Cartwright, the organization’s chief executive officer.

“Today’s announcement is a clear reflection of consumer expectations that food animals be treated humanely…. We strongly encourage farmers to strive to employ management practices and housing systems that meet both the physiological and psychological needs of the animals.”

Loblaws’ decision was part of a larger commitment April 29 by grocers who belong to the Retail Council of Canada.

“The Retail Council of Canada believes that sows should be housed in an environment where their pregnancy, health and well-being are taken into highest consideration, and that the selection of sow housing be based on a combination of sound science, stakeholder expectations

and the long-term viability of the industry,” the council noted in a news release.

Loblaws, Canada’s largest grocery chain, has joined dozens of compan i e s, i n c l u d i n g Ti m H o r t o n s, McDonald’s, Canada Safeway, Sobeys, Costco and Walmart, in committing to buy fresh pork products from sows raised in open housing or other systems, as defined by national codes of practice.

The Retail Council of Canada decision is a voluntary commitment to work toward “sourcing fresh pork products from sows raised in alternative housing.”

In response, the Canadian Pork Council said the grocers’ decision represents an opportunity for retailers and hog producers to work together and manage changes to sow housing.

“The RCC announcement recognizes that the conversion of sow housing is a significant investment, which will require support from other stakeholder groups,” the pork council noted.

“Not only will substantial capital investments be needed to physically change barns but also considerable human resource efforts to choose the right system and train stock people to a new way of handing animals.”

AVIAN FLU | POULTRY ANGLE

China’s avian flu investigation points to chickens Canada safe | Country’s poultry industry has improved biosecurity measures in response to previous outbreaks

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU & REUTERS NEWS AGENCY

A paper published in the Lancet has established that chickens are one source of a deadly strain of bird flu that has killed 23 people in China.

The study leader, Kwok-Yung Yuen of the University of Hong Kong, confirmed that chickens in poultry markets have caused human infections of the H7N9 virus, according to Reuters.

The finding means that Chinese officials may need to close live poultry markets to prevent further animal to human transmission, which would reduce the risk of an avian influenza pandemic.

“The evidence ... suggests it is a pure poultry-to-human transmission and that controlling (infections in people) will therefore depend on controlling the epidemic in poultry,” Kwok-Yung Yuen told Reuters.

The virus has infected 109 people in China and caused the death of a Taiwanese man who was working in China. The World Health Organization has described H7N9 as highly lethal compared to other influenza strains.

Canadian chicken industry representatives say the risk to Canada’s domestic bird flock remains low.

“We’re working closely with them (the Canadian Food Inspection Agency) to monitor the situation.

Most of what we’re working around is proactive, preventive procedures at the farm level in order to mitigate as much risk as possible,” said Michael Edmonds, a Chicken Farmers of Ontario spokesperson.

“We are confident that biosecurity procedures on the farm level provide a preventive reassurance that mitigates as much risk as possible.”

A different strain of avian influenza infected a turkey barn north of Winnipeg in 2010. It was suspected, but never confirmed, that a wild bird transmitted the virus to the turkeys.

A repeat of that scenario is unlikely with H7N9, said Wayne Hiltz, general manager of Manitoba Chicken Producers.

“Specific to what’s happening in some wild and domestic birds in Asia, that’s not a migratory (bird) pattern, so the chances of that (disease) coming here is low.”

The poultry industry responded to previous outbreaks in Canada by bolstering its biosecurity protocols.

“We have a good biosecurity program … and a good emergenc y response that kicks in when there is an issue that we deem is a risk,” Edmonds said.

The level we’re at today, on a day to day basis, is so much more enhanced.”

In March, Agriculture Canada recognized Chicken Farmers of Canada for successfully implementing food safety programs. It is the first national organization to

receive this recognition.

As well, Chicken Farmers of Ontario, Egg Farmers of Ontario, the Ontario Broiler Hatching Egg and Chicken Commission and Turkey Farmers of Ontario created the Feather Board Command Centre to respond to outbreaks of highly contagious diseases such as avian influenza.

The CFIA recently sent out a notice reminding producers to follow biosecurity protocols such as keeping poultry away from wild birds and controlling the movement of people, animals and equipment on the farm.

It said Canada doesn’t import raw poultry products or live birds from China.

Hiltz said it’s possible that someone could transport birds or poultry products into the country illegally, but such activity is beyond the scope or control of Canada’s poultry industry.

The Public Health Agency of Canada hasn’t posted travel restrictions because of H7N9, but it is telling Canadians to avoid high risk areas like poultry farms and animal markets.

The National Microbiology Lab in Winnipeg has obtained a sample of the H7N9 virus. Researchers want to know if antiviral drugs or vaccines are effective against the virus.

Ottawa names new associate deputy ag minister

Mill rate cap intended to protect industrial property owners

New roles | Timothy Sargent has previously worked in economic and regional development

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Agriculture Canada has a new senior manager with deep ties to the finance department and the centre of government control but no background in agriculture.

Prime minister Stephen Harper has announced that Timothy Sargent, acting deputy secretary to the cabinet for operations in the Privy Council Office, was scheduled to become associate deputy agriculture minister April 29.

He worked as an increasingly

senior economist at the finance department from 1994 to 2008 before moving to the Privy Council, the prime minister’s central government bureaucracy.

His specialty there has been economic and regional development.

Harper also announced that former Canadian Food Inspection Agency president Richard Fadden, now director of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, will become deputy minister of national defence next month.

He also announced that former Conservative MP Deborah Grey,

who was the first Reform party MP and elected largely on a platform of opposing Ottawa elites, has been appointed a member of the Security Intelligence Review Committee that oversees CSIS. The former northern Alberta MP has been sworn into the Privy Council to deal with the privileged information available to SIRC members.

She was an Alberta MP for 15 years before stepping down and served as interim leader of the official opposition in Parliament before Harper was elected leader.

Harper also used his appointments

announcement to acknowledge the retirement of Brian Evans, longtime chief veterinary officer for Canada, vice-president of CFIA, the face of the agency during the BSE crisis and Canada’s first chief food safety officer.

Evans, who began his career as a rural Ontario vet, officially retired from the public service this month after 31 years.

At his retirement send-off April 18, Evans was feted by current agriculture minister Gerry Ritz and former Liberal minister Lyle Vanclief, as well as many food industry leaders and international food safety officials by video.

Saskatchewan has set a limit on the mill rate factor that municipalities can apply to their property taxes this year to ensure fairer tax distribution among property classes.

Government relations minister Jim Reiter said he has also asked officials to review all tax tools after a small number of rural municipalities used the mill rate factor to shift taxes almost entirely onto one class.

He is specifically concerned about the RM of Eye Hill, which used its mill rate factor two years ago to put nearly all its tax levy on commercial property.

“My officials tell me for that rural municipality for that year, the entire municipal tax levy was $1,600,” he said.

“So you can see that just dramatically took all the municipal tax off agriculture land and put it on commercial/industrial. In cases like that, I can’t think of any justification for it.”

The industrial property in Eye Hill is a pipeline, which the owners can’t just move to avoid the tax burden.

Reiter said most commercial and industrial property owners already pay higher municipal property taxes than agricultural or residential property owners for the same services, but there has to be fairness.

He stressed that this type of situation is rare, but he wants to make sure it doesn’t happen again.

His officials will consult with municipal associations and other stakeholders on how to move forward after this year. For now, the maximum ratio of highest to lowest mill rate factors that a municipality can use is 15, retroactive to Jan. 1.

Most have far lower ratios than this already. Cities and northern municipalities are exempt from the limit because they are all well below it.

Reiter announced the limit during his speech to delegates at the March annual convention of the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities.

He said people later told him there have to be rules in place.

“I talked to many delegates and I never heard one negative comment,” he said.

The mill rate factor is used only for the municipal portion of property tax and not for the education portion.

MUNICIPAL PROPERTY TAXES The following are the classes of municipal property (distinct from provincial property classes), which are used by all municipalities, except cities, in a formula to calculate taxes.

Different property classes may be assigned different percentages of assessed value to determine a taxable assessment: • Agricultural, including non-arable and range land and improvements and other agricultural land and improvements.

• Residential, including multi-unit residential and seasonal residential.

• Commercial and industrial, including elevators and railway rights of way and pipeline.

Beetle threatens iconic symbol Decline continues | Rose stem girdler is killing wild roses in Alberta and Saskatchewan

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Wild Rose Country without wild roses is just country. And the Wildrose Party without wild roses is just a party.

Neither Alberta’s licence plates nor its political opposition party is likely to change the motto or name, but they will have to make do with fewer of the iconic wild roses in the province.

So will the various mammals, birds, insects and other species that depend on the prairie flower for food, forage and habitat.

The villain: the rose stem girdler. The woodboring beetle is slowly killing wild roses in Alberta, as well as a large part of Saskatchewan.

Entomologist David Larson of Maple Creek, Sask., has been observing the roses’ decline. As a retired biology professor who taught for many years at Newfoundland’s Memorial University, he knows his beetles.

“I’ve been talking about the rose decline in southern Saskatchewan for 10 years. It’s been one of my pet interests here. I haven’t generated much interest,” said Larson.

“I thought I should tell Albertans about it. They’re losing their logo.”

Larson has seen evidence of the girdler’s damage to prairie roses as far west as Lethbridge and as far east as Regina, south to the U.S. border and in Saskatchewan’s Great Sand Hills, but that’s as far as he has looked.

“I suspect the distribution of this dieback is much more extensive than that.”

Greg Pohl, forest biodiversity researcher with the Canadian Forest Service, said in an email that the rose stem girdler has been tracked in the exotic pest database.

It has been documented in Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. There has also been one unconfirmed report from the Cypress Hills area of Alberta.

“But I trust Dave Larson’s report. He knows his beetles,” said Pohl.

• The prairie rose, Rosa woodsii, also grows across the plains and in alpine habitats from southern Yukon to Utah.

• Bloom typically starts in late May and lasts until early August.

• It is classed as a deciduous shrub. Larger stems are covered in small prickles with the occasional thick thorn.

• Its fragrant blooms are attractive to bees and other insects.

• Rose hips, considered the fruit of the plant, are eaten by birds, rabbits, squirrels, deer, moose and coyotes.

They remain on the plant throughout winter.

• The inner seeds of rose hips are not palatable and if eaten, their fine hairs can cause a condition known as “itchy bum.”

• Rose hips are high in vitamin C and can contain as much as an orange. They can be used to make syrup, jelly, jam and marmalade. Along with leaves and flowers, they can also be used in tea.

• North American native people used roses to treat bee stings, colds, blindness and diarrhea.

• Arrows can be made from rose wood.

• In some cultures, rose sprigs were hung on cradleboards to keep ghosts away from babies.

• In the language of flowers, the rose symbolizes love, beauty, elegance, frailty, joy, life, pleasure, secrecy, silence, bliss, star, sun, wine, wisdom and woman.

FARM LIVING

ON THE FARM | OUTSTANDING YOUNG FARMERS

Couple thrives as modern, big acre farmers Improved efficiency | New technology has helped Alberta couple make their 8,000 acre farm more productive

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

GIBBONS, Alta. — Mike Kalisvaart represents a new generation of prairie farmer who spends as much time planning and marketing as he does getting his hands dirty.

“I almost rarely get out and drive a truck. Seeding and harvest it is all hands on deck, but this time of the year, I spend 95 percent of my time in the office,” he said.

“A lot of what I do is relationship management. People that we deal with on service, most are based on relationships, not always the lowest price,” he said.

His wife, Karen Jansen, agrees.

“It’s more cerebral now,” she said.

The couple from Gibbons, Alta., was selected as Outstanding Young Farmers for the Alberta-Northwest Territories region and will travel to Regina in November for the national event.

Kalisvaart and Jansen met in high school and married 20 years ago. She was originally from Ontario where her father was a minister who relocated to Edmonton.

“It was pretty much as far from farming as you could get,” said Jansen, who runs a home-based graphic design business and maintains Kalco Farms’ website.

The pair has three children: Anna, 16, Marijke, 13 and Tim, 11.

Kalisvaart is the son of Dutch immigrant Jack Kalisvaart, who came to Canada in 1969, started a pig farm and became involved in Alberta Pork and the Western Hog Exchange.

The changing fortunes of the hog business forced the family to convert the farm to a major grain operation where Kalisvaart works with his brother, Dan, sister, Stacey, and brother-in-law, Greg. Their father works on the farm during the growing season, helping produce canola, wheat, oats, yellow peas and barley.

The hog barns are now used for storage and a family hockey rink.

“This is the highest rated area in Western Canada for canola yields,” said Kalisvaart, citing yields of 50 bushels per acre.

Last year, an infestation of aster yellows resulted in a disappointing harvest.

The main farm site, 10 kilometres from couple’s place, houses a large grain handling facility with 16 hopper bins that hold 350 tonnes each. Eight more bins

Most recently, they added a 10,000 sq. foot shop that includes office space and a boardroom.

Disaster struck in 2009 when six of their new bins collapsed, spilling about 90,000 bushels of No. 1 hard wheat, prairie spring wheat and malt barley. The grain had to be sold as feed because it had mixed together.

Insurance covered most of the loss and the manufacturer rebuilt the bins by the following harvest.

“We were shocked and speechless for quite a while,” he said.

They had planned to live closer to the main farm, but in the early 2000s, the county classified the area as part of the Heartland Industrial zone.

Major energy companies have purchased hundreds of acres east of their farm.

“Half of our community has disappeared to the east of here because all the land was bought and everybody

moved out,” he said.

They rent land from some of those companies to continue farming it.

“I am not opposed to industrial development and it isn’t nice having them right next door to you, but they really make an effort to get along with us and accommodate our needs,” he said.

The changing landscape has not altered their expansion plans.

“Our plan is to continue to expand, but sustainably. I couldn’t put a number on where I want to go,” said Kalisvaart, who serves as the farm’s chief executive officer.

He has studied leadership, farm management and technology adoption and has incorporated a system called value stream mapping where processes are mapped out and evaluated to do things more efficiently with less waste.

They adopted GPS and are piloting

a precision farming plan so they can take advantage of variable rate seeding and fertilizer placement and be more efficient.

It took them a month to seed 2,500 acres a decade ago and today they plant the entire 8,000 acres in 14 days.

Last year, everyone got a 4G tablet with specialized software to collect data from the field during seeding, spraying and harvest.

The new processes have resulted in data from the field like fertilizer use, field application records, weather and yields. The next goal is to work with a consultant to use the data for planning and analysis of their costs of production.

“That is an advantage in having a larger farm because you can make some of those investments and justify paying them off,” he said.

It should also streamline the planning process that starts a year in advance.

“Before harvesting, we are putting plans together for next year.”

Kalisvaart is also part owner and chair of Providence Grain, an independent farmer owned grain merchant.

The group started with a single elevator purchased from Agricore United in 2002 and expanded to 320 shareholders and five elevator sites in Alberta and Saskatchewan. It is also expanding into fertilizer and farm chemical sales.

In its last fiscal year, the company shipped 500,000 tonnes of grain amounting to $100 million in sales.

“It is a great way to see the industry from one end to the other,” Kalisvaart said.

The family appreciates the recognition from the OYF program.

“I’m proud of what we’ve done and a lot of it is based on best practices,” he said. “This was an opportunity to share what we have done.”

On land where wild roses once lived, prairie grasses now thrive. | BARB GLEN PHOTO

open prairies and the wood’s rose (Rosa woodsii) common to more shaded areas, aspen bluffs and riparian areas.

The beetle kills the rose stems by laying eggs on the plants, from which hatch larva that burrow under the bark in a characteristic spiral pattern.

Their activity cuts off the stem’s supply of water and nutrients.

Prairie roses are hardy and not easily killed. As older stems are killed by the beetle larva, new ones spring up.

“You just get a constant pruning of the larger stems every year and you’re going from big, thick, impenetrable patches of roses to rather sparse stands of small, slender stems, which have fewer spines on them too, so

they’re less protected,” Larson said.

Smaller, finer stems allow more sunlight to penetrate, which encourages grasses. Grazing animals, notably cattle, are attracted by the grasses.

The cattle open up the rose thickets and the area becomes open grassland.

Larson said he has anecdotal evidence and personal observation of this development in the Great Sand Hills, where once impenetrable rose thickets are now open and grazed.

Larson thinks the reduction in roses is worth studying, although no work exists or is ongoing, as far he knows.

“It’s one of these things that snuck in under the radar. I’m sure if roses

were as big as the American elms that went through a similar die back in Ontario and Quebec back in the ‘70s, we would all be concerned.

“But these things being less than knee high, their demise and die off has just slipped in under our observation.”

As it’s not native to North America, the rose stem girdler has no natural enemies, but it’s possible that parasites might find them worthy hosts.

Infestation can be determined by removing a strip of bark from the lower half of the cane to expose a spiral, larval tunnel. During the growing season, infected roses will turn red prematurely and may retain their leaves throughout the winter.

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE Larson has written two articles in Nature Saskatchewan’s Blue Jay magazine about the girdler and its effects on prairie roses.

“I think it’s something that we should be more concerned about than we have been,” he said last week.

“The big effect is, we’re losing our three-dimensional structure in the prairie and things like jackrabbits or sharp-tailed grouse that need a bit of shelter … I think we are losing valuable habitat.

“I think there is some fundamental change coming about in parts of our prairie and it has ramifications other than just pretty roses. I think the wild-

life out there is going to be adversely affected, if it hasn’t already been affected.”

Q:

Science has never drummed up quite as effective a tranquilizing agent as a sunny spring day.

— W. Earl Hall

Salad:

What is the paleo diet? Two of my friends have been on it for about month and have lost about 10 pounds each. What do you think of this diet? Is it safe and effective?

A:

The paleolithic or caveman diet is one of the latest fad diets, allegedly promoting great health and a perfect physique. The claim is that the human body evolved for more than a million years with the food found in nature: game meat, fish, vegetables, roots, wild fruits, eggs and nuts. The diet specifically excludes grains, legumes, dairy products, salt, refined sugar and processed oils.

Advocates for the paleo diet say that the human race was thriving on this diet high in animal fat and proteins and low in carbohydrates, but things changed when we introduced unnatural food into our bodies.

Cavemen did not eat the processed food found in today’s grocery stores and they did not have cows, but some anthropologists believe that they ate some carbohydates in grains.

They probably did not eat much animal protein because big game was only hunted occasionally.

I also wonder how healthy the caveman’s hunter-gatherer diet was because they did not live much longer than 20 years.

The diet is similar to the old Scarsdale diet of mainly meat, fats and green vegetables, but it differs in that it does not allow dairy products.

The Scarsdale diet caused ketones to build up in the body, which are toxic metabolites of fat and make a person feel ill after a week or two.

You should never try to lose more than about a pound a week or else the body goes into starvation mode and bounces back to its original weight as soon as you stop the diet.

That is the main problem with all fad diets. Most people who want to lose weight should not eat less than 1,500 calories a day. This will give you the desired weight loss of a pound a week, even without extra exercise.

S

pringtime is a good time to find simple ways to improve your quality of life through diet and environment.

Commit to increasing the fresh food that you consume each day.

And while enjoying the health benefits, think of food preparation as an art project and try to include as many colours as possible.

Consuming fresh food of various colours provides us with the ultimate antioxidants. Compare tuning up your diet to changing the oil in the tractor to make everything run smoothly.

The following salads are convenient on busy days, since the vegetables and meat can be prepared earlier and tossed together at serving time. Add whole grain bread and the meal is complete. The meat may be served warm or cool.

PEPPERED MEALTIME SALAD This nutritious and tasty main course option contains seven vibrant colours.

Prepare the dressing: 3/4 c. balsamic vinaigrette dressing 175 mL 3/4 c. roasted red pepper dressing 175 mL 3/4 c. red pepper jelly (available in grocery stores or canned) 175 mL Whisk the dressings with the red pepper jelly. Seal in a container.

4 servings of grilled steak or chicken pieces 8 c. washed and torn romaine lettuce 2L 1 large English cucumber, peeled, halved and sliced 4 green onions, chopped 2 tomatoes. cut in small wedges (or an equal amount of grape tomatoes) 1 large carrot, peeled, quartered and sliced fresh cut strips of yellow and orange peppers 1/2 c. crumbled feta cheese, optional 125 mL Marinate the meat with a portion of the dressing mixture if desired or simply brush on the meat while cooking.

Cook the meat to desired doneness.

Fill a large bowl with the romaine lettuce. Add the cucumber, onion, tomatoes, carrots, peppers and toss.

To serve, place greens on a serving plate and top with feta cheese and meat. Pour dressing over top.

Serves four.

Drained and rinsed chickpeas can also be added to this meal salad to increase the protein and fibre content.

Brown meat with onions until no longer pink. Drain off the liquid and add the taco seasoning, add water and blend. Bring to boil and simmer for approximately three minutes.

Remove from the heat.

Combine lettuce and tomatoes in a large serving bowl. When ready to serve, top with the meat, cheese and chips. Top with dressing. Serves four.

TANGY FRUIT SALAD

TIPS FOR GOING GREEN

Kids love to help prepare this healthy salad that satisfies a craving for something sweet. Mix and match fruit according to what is in season.

1 10 oz. tin of mandarin oranges, not drained (or canned peaches) 284 mL 2 c. each sliced fresh blueberries, raspberries and strawberries 500 mL 2 c. seedless red grapes 500 mL 1 apple, peeled, cored and sliced 2 kiwi, peeled, halved and sliced 2 bananas, sliced (add just before serving) 1/4 c. sugar (you can use less if desired) 60 mL 2 c. whipping cream 500 mL

White or regular vinegar is high in acidity (five percent), which makes this substance an inexpensive but powerful cleaner.

In a large serving bowl, combine the oranges with the fresh fruit.

Sprinkle with the sugar and blend.

Whip the cream and add a dollop to the top of each bowl. Garnish with a piece of dark chocolate. Store leftover whipped cream and salad in airtight containers in the refrigerator.

Note: To whip cream properly, add the cool cream to a mixing bowl.

Add approximately 1/4 c./60 mL of sugar to the cream (depending on your taste) as well as a teaspoon of vanilla.

Whip on medium speed for one to two minutes or until soft peaks form when the beaters are lifted.

• Freshen the inside of your microwave by bringing a bowl of vinegar and water solution to a rolling boil in the microwave. For a fresh scent, add fresh cut orange, lemon or lime peel to the water/vinegar mix.

The microwave can then be cleaned with a simple wipe.

EASY TACO SALAD This surprisingly filling salad is great after a day outdoors or before an evening ball game.

2 lb. extra-lean ground beef, turkey or chicken 1 kg 1 onion, chopped 1 pkg. (35 g) taco seasoning mix 1 c. water 250 mL 1 large head romaine lettuce, coarsely chopped 2 tomatoes, chopped 1 c. shredded cheese of your choice 250 mL 1/2 c. Ranch or Catalina dressing 125 mL 2 c. tortilla chips (110 g), crumbled 500 mL 1 green onion, chopped

For the kitchen • Deodorize dishcloths and sponges by soaking them for a minimum of four hours in a sink with 1/4 c. (60 mL) of vinegar and just enough water to cover.

Rinse and wash as usual for a fresh start.

• Remove soap buildup and odours from the dishwasher by running an empty machine with one c. (250 mL) of vinegar.

This works for the washing machine as well.

• Clean the inside of your glass vase by filling the vase half full of water with a touch of vinegar, then drop in two alka seltzer tablets. When the bubbling stops, rinse the clear glass.

This works for cleaning thermoses or carafes that need freshening. This method also works on the toilet bowl and sink basins.

For the bathroom • For stubborn soap scum in the bathroom, mix one part salt to four parts vinegar, cover the area and let sit for a few minutes. Gently polish with a sponge.

• Enjoy clear windows by cleaning with equal parts vinegar and water. If the window is really dirty, do the first spray with undiluted vinegar. This combination also works on counter tops and chrome.

New mothers and obsessivecompulsive disorder Dana Gossett, assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, and her research colleagues have discovered that new mothers are at increased risk of developing obsessive-compulsive disorder.

About 11 percent are affected, compared to only two percent of the regular population. This might be partly due to their excessive concern about hygiene and causing harm to their newborn, but it could also be the result of the stress of pregnancy and childbirth.

Fortunately, most mothers made a full recovery after six months.

WENDY

Everyone thinks that I am a marvelous success, but I am not.

I have had my share of good tidings.

I breezed through high school and did well at both universities that I attended. And when my dad died, I came back home and managed to turn a rundown and derelict farm into a thriving and prosperous enterprise. I have just finished building a new house on the home quarter.

But as beautiful and luxurious as my house is, it still ranks bare and seems hollow through the loneliness I am bringing into it. I am envious of my neighbours, somewhat impoverished, but rich nonetheless when they gather around the kitchen table to laugh and cry in celebration of their times together. I have tried to get involved, mostly with women, but the few I have dated seemed to be more interested in my bank account than me. What can I do to erase my loneliness and have that special person in my life to enjoy?

A:

The manifest destiny for each of us is to build a warm and intense interpersonal relationship with another person.

You would not start a race at the finish line. Neither are you likely to fulfill your manifest destiny by jumping cold turkey into the arms of someone you barely know.

You start your journey toward intimacy by building a social climate for yourself, getting to know and relate to as many people as you can throughout your community of interests.

It is called social networking and it is vital for learning to understand and appreciate other people. Over time, the new and interesting faces will gradually whittle down to a few special people in your life. Eventually, you will find yourself wanting to spend more time with some rather than others. That is likely the process that will finally yield an intimate relationship for you.

You can complement your social network by going for personal counselling. You are not looking for advice from your counsellor, but for an opportunity to explore who you are as a person.

That is the foundation for helping you decide who you like and don’t like. Remember your job is not to please others to try to make them love you. Your job is to make sure that you like the person you are courting.

Whether or not that person likes you in return is her business.

The route to success for an interp e r s o n a l re l a t i o n s h i p h a s i t s moments of hurt and disappointments. Not everyone will admire you in return, but the hurt and disappointment vanish quickly and eventually you will successfully engage another person if you let patience guide you through the process.

WESTERN DEVELOPMENT MUSEUM | EXHIBIT

Ordinary farm objects transformed into art On display | Saskatoon museum is the temporary home of a Kim Adams sculpture

BY AMY JO EHMAN FREELANCE WRITER

The birds and bees are doing it, but perhaps none more ardently than Love Birds, a large and colourful sculpture by a leading prairie artist that landed in Saskatoon in March.

Love Birds is a marriage of familiar farm objects such as grain bins, lug nuts, feeder troughs and rear view mirrors, animated with a “plumage” of neon lights and polished car parts.

The sculpture by artist Kim Adams was donated to the Mendel Art Gallery in Saskatoon. Due to its large

size, it has been installed in Saskatoon’s Western Development Museum, which is dedicated to the Prairies’ pioneering era.

“We really wanted Kim Adams represented in our permanent collection because of his national and international significance,” said Lisa Baldissera, chief curator at the Mendel. “He’s very inventive and has a unique vision about how material can be reassembled to create new meanings.”

Born in 1951, Adams is known for creating sculptures with everyday objects. For works such as Love Birds, he buys materials at Canadian Tire

and farm supply stores near his studio northwest of Toronto.

“I’ve fooled around with grain bins before,” said Adams, who is originally from Edmonton. “(Love Birds) is kind of a hybrid, but not like the new hybrid cars. I like the oddness of it.”

Love Birds consists of two tall pieces perched side by side, one of silvery metal components and the other made with parts of Ford Econoline vans. The silver cylinder is punched with thousands of holes, resembling lace, through which colourful neon lights dance like constellations. The lights of one

sculpture are reflected in the rear view mirrors of the other, as if revealing the apple of “his” eye.

The artist does not stipulate which of the Love Birds is male or female, leaving that consideration to the eye of the viewer.

In fact, Adams was working on both pieces separately when “they started to have this communication” as he worked back and forth in his studio.

He said someone offered to buy one component, but he refused.

“I said I can’t do that because they’re Love Birds. I didn’t want them to be divorced because of money,” he said.

Baldissera said the museum is a nice fit for the sculpture.

“People who know the original use of those materials can be really delighted and surprised to see how they’re being used that they never expected,” she said.

“If you wander around the Western Development Museum, you’re going to see the kind of things that inspire the artist, so it couldn’t be a more perfect setting.”

Love Birds, valued at $175,000, was purchased and donated to the Mendel

by BMO Financial Group. It will be on display until Sept. 2.

FOOD SECURITY | POLICY

Governments urged to address food waste, national food strategy needed

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

TORONTO — The issue of waste is never far from the surface in national and international discussions about food security and shrinking fresh water resources.

“The best way to have more water is to waste less,” Nestlé Waters North America president Tim Brown told a recent Conference Board of Canada meeting.

Nancy Croitoru, president of Food and Consumer Products of Canada, echoed the theme for food.

“There is a huge amount of food waste,” she told the conference.

It is a message that Richard Kingdon and Toronto’s Second Harvest non-profit organization have taken to heart.

“Every day in this city, good food is going to waste,” the chair of the Second Harvest operating committee told the conference, which was organized to discuss a national food strategy.

Second Harvest volunteers scour city food establishments daily to collect unused fresh fruit and vegetables that otherwise would be thrown out or composted.

As many as 600 restaurants, supermarkets, stores, distribution centres and farmers markets are regular donors, providing fresh produce that

Approximately 19,000 pounds of food are collected on a typical day, said Kingdon. It is distributed to shelters, emergency food banks and schools that ser ve after-school healthy snacks.

Last year, 7.2 million pounds of produce was donated by stores, catering companies, food distribution centres, restaurants and other food companies that typically end up with excess fresh produce at the end of the day.

Second Harvest “hunger squads”

stuff the food into hand bags and often deliver it on foot.

“We have the food and we need to get it to those who need it,” Kingdon said in an interview.

“It has to be done quickly so our onfoot food rescue and delivery service is an effective way to get it out quickly.

More than 20 percent of the food we collect gets distributed immediately and never makes it back to our warehouse.”

Kingdon said the Toronto model is unique in Canada and has proven effective.

“There is so much nutritious food being wasted and so many who need it,” he said.

“This is a way to connect the two.”

FoodShare executive director Debbie Field complained that household food security is an issue that typically does not receive government attention domestically or worldwide.

“In a world of plenty, hunger is a distribution problem,” she said.

More than one billion people in the world are considered food insecure.

In Canada, several million people in food insecure households as food bank use increases.

Field said more emphasis is needed on local food. As well, Health Canada should designate one per cent of its budget to distribute fresh fruits and

vegetables to vulnerable populations.

“Industry prosperity alone is not enough for a national food strategy,” she said.

BUILDING YOUR GETAWAY HAS NEVER BEEN EASIER!

However, she said the federal government seems focused on an industry strategy rather than a food strategy.

“We have a missing partner here, the federal government.”

SPECIAL The potential bonanza of rewards flowing from RNA interference (RNAi) technology, or gene silencing, has agricultural life science companies rushing to invest.

Transgenic science takes a gene with a specific trait from one living thing and splices it into the genetic code of another organism to get it to express that same trait. RNA interference, though, turns off selected genes already in the organism, stopping expression of that genetic trait.

The applications are precise and limited only by the imagination. In agriculture, for example, it might be possible to create a long-lasting control for an insect that is unique to the pest, sparing beneficial insects. It might also be possible to turn off the genes that make certain foods allergens or to stop viral disease in livestock.

In this report, Western Producer reporter Robert Arnason examines RNAi and its potential to deliver benefits to farmers.

RNAi

Scientists have discovered that cells have the ability to fight off viruses through a system called RNA interference (RNAi). The discovery has far-reaching potential for scientific research into human health and agriculture. But how does RNAi work?

How it works in nature:

Every living thing is made of cells. Within each cell’s nucleus are chromosomes, tightly coiled double-helix strands of deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA.

1

DNA contains a complete blueprint of each organism: its structure determines everything about the organism’s genetic makeup — including the size, shape and function of every cell in the body.

virus

2

DNA can be found only within the cell nucleus. It is the job of ribonucleic acid, or RNA, to take the DNA’s genetic map from the nucleus into the cell cytoplasm.

3

From there, ribosomes translate the RNA messages into proteins specific to each RNA message — for example, bone tissue or skin cells in humans, or leaves in plants.

4

Viruses infiltrate cell membranes and deposit their own RNA into the nucleus. Copies of this viral RNA are sent into the cell cytoplasm, and if left unchecked, these long, doublestranded viral RNAs will multiply until the cell ruptures and the virus spreads to other cells.

5

Researchers discovered that cells have an enzyme that reacts to any double-stranded RNA it comes into contact with. This “dicer” enzyme chops up the viral RNA into small pieces — about 22 in all. Then, proteins called RNAInducing Silencing Complex (RISC) unwinds the small RNA fragments and carries it throughout the cell. If the RISC/ RNA molecule finds other matching pieces of chopped viral pieces, it will bind them into the molecule as well. This can partially or completely stop the viral RNA from replicating within the cell.

Genetic science revolution offers precise so

T Microscopic but destructive, the spider mite is one target of RNAi researchers | WESTERN UNIVERSITY PHOTO

he spider mite is less than one millimetre in size but might be the peskiest pest on the planet.

The tiny arthropod preys upon dozens of commercial crops, including soybeans, cucumbers, apples, peppers and corn, feeding on the underside of leaves and causing yield losses. It is also a common pest in commercial greenhouses and gardens.

Spider mites are particularly pesky because they eat more than 1,100 plant species and can reproduce up to 10 generations per year during the growing season.

A female two-spotted spider mite can lay 200 eggs over its 21- to 28-day life, which can become adults in five to seven days in hot, dry conditions.

The population explosion and speedy turnover of generations, when combined with natural mutations, can rapidly lead to mites with insecticide resistance.

As of 2012, there were 389 recorded cases of two-spotted spider mites developing resistance to a pesticide, according to Western University in London, Ont. The mites can overcome a new pesticide in two to four years, so spending millions to develop a new insecticide has little value.

The spider mite’s resilience and its global impact on field and greenhouse crops made it the perfect test case for biologists and geneticists at Western University, who are studying what could be a revolutionary control method for agricultural pests.

Scientists at Western are leading an international team of researchers

from Spain, Belgium, France and the United States in a project called Genomics in Agricultural Pest Management. They are using RNA interference (RNAi), a genetic tool to shut down specific genes, to kill the mites or slow population growth.

What is RNA interference?

Two American biologists, Craig Mello and Andrew Fire, received the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 2006 for their discovery of RNA interference.

Scientists had assumed for years that RNA molecules were simply messengers that carried genetic information from DNA. In the 1980s, biologists learned it’s possible to use other RNA molecules to obstruct the work of messenger RNA and prevent the formation of proteins.

Based on that discovery, scientists assumed they could block the production of faulty proteins and shut down the over-expression of genes related to diseases such as cancer.

Molecular biologists didn’t understand the process until Mello and Fire’s revolutionary work on a roundworm, C. Elegans, in the 1990s.

In a 1998 paper published in Nature, Mello and Fire said it was possible to silence gene expression in C. Elegans by inserting double stranded RNA into the one mm long roundworm.

They concluded that by interfering with the messenger RNA, it was possible to suppress the expression of a specific gene and the formation of a specific protein in the organism.

REPORT How it works in the lab: Researchers trying to enhance the colour in petunia plants introduced an extra RNA gene for colour. But the plant produced white blossoms instead. Why?

1

The petunia’s RISC proteins recognized the foreign RNA strand in the cytoplasm, chopped it into pieces and then bound them all up to be carried out of the cell.

2

But something else happened as well — the RISC proteins also chopped up and bound the natural RNA gene for colour because it was a close match in protein composition to the foreign RNA. So, the new plants contained no gene for coloured petals at all, and produced white flowers instead.

3

The next step? Researchers artificially introduce double-stranded RNA from a disease gene into a cell. The RNAi process is spurred into action, and the RISC proteins work to silence not only the introduced gene but the naturally occurring matching gene as well.

4 5

This has exciting implications for applications in human medicine and also in agriculture.

WHAT IS RNA? Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a genetic code present in the cells of all living things. It consists of thousands of genes that contain information on how to build an organism. The genes represent a blueprint on how to construct specific proteins for an organism. A segment of DNA might contain information on the protein keratin, which is needed to manufacture human hair.

However, DNA never leaves the nucleus of a cell. When proteins are formed, the genetic code is first copied onto ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules, in a process called transcription.

Think of DNA as a reference book.

Instead of using and potentially damaging the reference book, a person could make copies of particular pages (genes) and use them (RNA) to carry out the instructions to make proteins.

In other words, RNA represents a disposable version of DNA. After the necessary genetic information is copied from DNA into a messenger RNA (mRNA), it moves out of the nucleus into the cytoplasm, where the mRNA orchestrates the formation of a particular protein.

HOW IS RNAi USED IN AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH? In addition to pest management, scientists have used or are studying the potential of RNA interference to address a number of challenges in agriculture:

lutions to agricultural challenges molecular biology, where scientists can silence gene expression as needed.

In the 15 years since, most RNAi research dollars have been directed at human health and potential therapeutic treatments.

Applying the technology to human therapeutics has proved trickier than anticipated, but agricultural applications appear to be less co m p l icated , s ai d Dou g Macron, who reports on the gene silencing industry for GenomeWeb, a science information service.

Spider mite research Molecular biologists and entomologists around the globe have been trying to apply RNA interference to pest management for the

last several years.

One of them is Vlad Zhurov, a research associate in Western’s biology department and a member of the Genomics in Agricultural Pest Management team led by Western biologist Miodrag Grbic.

“By introduction of the double stranded (RNA) molecules into the organism (spider mite), which actually match the sequence of the gene that this organism possesses, you can knock down the native organism gene,” Zhurov said.

“In pest control, we need to know a sequence of a certain gene that we want to knock down in the pest.”

Grbic and his team have a good sense of which spider mite genes to target because in 2011, they published the mite’s genomic sequence in Nature.

The scientists are now working with Arabidopsis Thaliana, the small flowering plant better known as thale cress and often used as a model plant in biology.

The concept is to insert a sequence of double stranded RNA into the plant that matches a target gene in the spider mite. The mites feed on the plant and consume the RNA. Once inside the spider mite’s cells, the synthetic RNA interferes with gene expression and the formation of critical proteins.

“It’s not a 100 percent eradication of every mite…. In a way, you create a sickly spider mite,” Zhurov said.

“Usually only a few mites arrive to a given location and they have to establish a colony. If we weaken them sufficiently so that they won’t be able to establish this colony …

not killing them is just fine.”

Experimental results indicate that RNAi can control spider mite colonies.

“Recently, we were able to show the reduction of survival of spider mites developing on the Arabidopsis (plant),” he noted.

“So now we will be looking at the fecundity of spider mites to see whether RNAi reduces … how many eggs they deposit, how many progeny they develop.”

Pierre Meulien, president of G e n o m e C a n a d a, o n e o f t h e funders of the spider mite project, said the research is particularly exciting because the technology is directed at a specific gene in a specific pest.

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE “These things are so specific that you can target, very specifically, the unique pest you want to kill…. It’s not like a general pesticide,” he said.

“The precision would be exquisite because of the uniqueness of the (RNA) sequence.”

Research also suggests that the molecule spreads quickly through the organism when an insect ingests double stranded RNA. “It seems that when these molecules get into the digestive system of a (pest), then those molecules remain active,” Meulien said.

“This is big news because no matter

what plant you want to protect … you have a way of genetically manipulating the plant so it expresses a large amount of this stuff. Then all you have to do is wait for it (the insect) to (feed) on the leaves.”

Marcé Lorenzen, a professor of entomology at North Carolina State University, said that isn’t always correct, it depends on the insect and the targeted gene. Oral RNAi, in which insects feed on plants and ingest double stranded RNA, is highly effective in certain cases.

“I call them the sucking and piercing little insects, all the insects that can actually pierce the leaf and suck.

Aphids and things like that, oral RNAi

works incredibly well,” Lorenzen said.

“The double stranded RNA move from cell to cell and make it systemic.”

Lorenzen, who is attempting to use RNAi to control the red flour beetle, which feeds on stored grain, said it doesn’t spread readily throughout the cells of all pests. A higher dose of d o u b l e s t ra n d e d R NA m a y b e required to affect certain species, including the red flour beetle.

Lorenzen and other scientists are exploring other ways to deliver RNAi, such as a biological spray.

low cost, eco-friendly bio-pesticide,” she said.

“If you can (deliver) a high enough dose (to the pest)… you can get it to work.”

As noted in a research and development document, Monsanto is looking at two approaches to apply RNAi to pest management: BioDirect, which features bio-pesticides that contain double stranded RNA, and another technology that targets the western corn rootworm. A sequence of rootworm RNA is inserted into the corn plant, which represents a transgenic process.

“We have to have a transgenic plant, which will be … expressing double stranded RNA construct at every stage of plant development and in every tissue,” said Zhurov, referring to the spider mite project.

Where do we go from here?

RNAi technology for pest management remains in the laboratory phase. If Western University scientists can prove it works, they will have to partner with seed companies to transfer the technology to a commercial crop.

Zhurov said the regulatory process for the transgenic technology could prove challenging, given the vigorous public debate over GMOs. “RNAi technology, in general, it’s a proven and very efficient technique, which is used in research. In many cases RNAi should be fairly easily scalable to the industrial level,” he said. “(But) we have to overcome this public perception that trangenesis is bad.”

Lorenzen said it may be premature to say the regulatory process will be difficult, but biologists will have to spend a significant amount of time explaining the technology to the public and policy makers.

“I don’t know how difficult it will be, but I think the regulatory community will have to be educated.”

Eric Jan, a University of British Columbia RNAi expert, agreed it’s challenging to clearly describe the biological process because he struggles to talk to his family about his work.

“When I try to explain this to my parents or my wife, they understand DNA and they understand proteins. But it’s the RNA part that’s confusing to them.”

TECHNOLOGY | RESISTANCE

RNAi offers hope of permanent pest control Molecular biologists and entomologists believe RNA interference could solve insect resistance because the technology silences specific gene sequences in crop pests.

However, they offer conflicting responses when asked if insects can develop resistance to RNAi technology.

Vlad Zhurov, a research associate at Western University in London, Ont., and a member of an international team studying the potential of RNAi to control spider mites, said it would be difficult for insects to overcome the technology.

“It will require a very dramatic genetic change in the pest … to adapt to the double stranded RNAi. What will be required is almost a complete rearrangement of the gene that we are targeting.”

Marcé Lorenzen, a North Carolina State entomologist who is studying RNAi applications for the red flour beetle, isn’t so sure. She said the technology is powerful, but evolution cannot be underestimated.

“Just like insects develop resistance to B.t., they can develop resistance to RNAi,” she said.

“I think it (gene silencing) is a big deal, but we need to be ever evolving … and looking at what is the newer mechanism of controlling pests.”

Katherine Artymovich of Michigan State University’s microbiology and molecular genetics department said in a paper published in Basic Biotechnology that RNAi is part of the solution.

“Due to evolution, a one-sizefits all solution to solve insectcaused crop damage may never be achieved,” she said.

“Pests will always find a way to resist natural and genetically engineered toxic effects…. RNAi use in plants has the potential to be used with B.t. crops and other pesticides in order to decrease damage and increase crop yield.”

HUMAN SPIRIT | STAYING ACTIVE

Busy hands help keep cancer patient positive Team effort | Alberta rancher Ken Cox made dozens of rope halters during a wintertime hospital stay

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

Ken Cox has little time to think about his upcoming round of chemotherapy. Instead of dwelling on his troubles, the Angus breeder makes rope halters.

“If you have time to think, your mind goes negative,” said Cox, who farms near Armena, Alta.

It takes three minutes for Cox to twist and knot rope into a halter for leading cattle.

Cox spent 73 days in hospital this winter due to a combination of heart attacks and cancer. He picked up the rope again in February after transferring back to Camrose hospital from Edmonton.

Cox made 101 halters in two days from his Camrose hospital bed.

The previous November, during a three-hour outing from the Camrose hospital, with help from his wife, Verny, and friend Allan Gordeyko, Cox cut and melted rope to make 35 halters. He also made another 36 ropes for a 4-H club to make into halters to fill a halter order.

“It was about -30 C and they worked like crazy,” said Verny.

It was during this time that Cox worried he was getting low on rope and ordered another 26,000 feet. It arrived on 22 large spools in January, and all but eight spools have been twisted and knotted into halters.

“I wanted to have the halters made if the cancer got bad. I wanted them made up,” said Cox, who has spent hours in the shop making halters in an effort to stay positive during his cancer recovery.

“I thought, ‘this guy is so sick, what is he going to do with all this rope,’ but he’s determined,” said Verny.

“With 26,000 feet of rope and him the way he was, I was quite worried.”

They turn the rope into halters together.

Verny helps package the orders and cut and melt the ropes, but being left handed, she has never learned how to tie the ropes into halters.

About 1,300 rope halters are tucked into boxes at the back of the farm shop. At the front are shelves of halters ready to be shipped. Cox also has shelves of neck ropes that are used to tie up calves at shows.

Cox has been producing the brightly coloured rope halters for almost 40 years.

He learned how to make rope halters while in 4-H. This winter, Cox was made honourary president of the Alberta Angus Association for his work in the industry.

A neighbour calved out Cox’s 31 head of cattle while he was in hospital. The cows and calves are now back home.

WATER CONTAMINATION | WILDLIFE

Alberta researcher making microbial database of E. coli Collecting samples | Lisa Tymensen says wildlife plays a surprising role when water is contaminated with the bacteria

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

MILK RIVER, Alta. — You are what you eat, as the saying goes. But you are also what you excrete, as researcher Lisa Tymensen knows.

The researcher with Alberta Agriculture’s irrigation and farm water division is collecting fecal samples from livestock and wildlife to compile a microbial database of E. coli.

These fecal indicator bacteria will help her and other researchers determine the source of water contamination when it occurs.

She has 1,000 samples of E. coli bacteria derived from fecal samples.

Most of them are from animals in the Milk River watershed, and she used them to investigate reports of water contamination in Writing On Stone Provincial Park two years ago.

Now she is collecting samples from other regions.

“You do have to make it regionally specific. We’ve done work on the Milk River and we’ve got a little bit of work done on the Oldman River and we’re going to … work our way up north,” said Tymensen.

“We’re going to target watersheds

that tend to have more problems with agricultural intensity.”

Reports of water contamination often lead to finger pointing at the livestock industry, said John Ross, chair of the Milk River Watershed Council, where Tymensen’s project

began. A microbial database can eliminate the guesswork so that the actual problem can be addressed.

“It’s bringing science instead of finger pointing.”

Tymensen said her research indicates that wildlife is a larger factor in

E. coli water contamination than expected.

“I didn’t necessarily expect to see such a large influence, but it makes sense, now that we’ve been working in the watershed and we actually get to see exactly how much wildlife there really is,” she said.

She has fecal samples from antelope, deer, elk, geese, ducks, cliff swallows, piping plovers, avocets, sheep, pigs, chickens dogs, horses, fish, range cattle, feedlot cattle and humans.

She isn’t soliciting samples of wildlife feces collected by the public because the collection method is important.

(Reuters) —DuPont’s quarterly profit more than doubled as the worst dry spell in decades encouraged U.S. farmers to buy its droughthardy seeds and crop-protection products to boost yields.

Strong wheat, corn and soybean prices also spurred agricultural sales in the Americas, helping DuPont beat estimates for the quarter despite an ongoing decline in demand for its once-lucrative titanium dioxide paint pigment. “ The first quarter finished as expected, with the strong agriculture performance and performance chemicals’ decline from peak levels last year,” said DuPont chief executive officer Ellen Kullman.

The company, known for its chemicals business, is focusing on food and agriculture products that are less exposed to the ebbs and flows in titanium dioxide (Ti02) sales.

The shift is evident in the $5 billion sale of its car paint unit last year and the $6 billion purchase of nutritional supplements maker Danisco in 2011.

“Ti02 has declined and it’s a much smaller factor now. We also think it is bottoming, so it’s become less of an issue,” said John Roberts, who leads U.S. chemical coverage at UBS Investment Research.

He had expected first-quarter earnings of $1.55 per share, above the Wall Street estimates of $1.52 per share. Excluding one-time items, DuPont earned $1.56 per share.

The company’s net income, which included the beginning of the North American spring planting season, jumped to $3.35 billion, or $3.58 per share, in the first quarter, from $1.49 billion, or $1.58 per share, a year earlier.

First-quarter earnings from continuing operations dipped to $1.47 from $1.48 a year earlier.

Net sales rose marginally to $10.4 billion on higher prices for seeds and c ro p p ro t e c t i o n p ro d u c t s a n d demand in North America and Latin America.

Agriculture business was the biggest source of revenue in the first quarter, contributing almost 45 percent. The performance chemicals business, which includes titanium dioxide sales, accounted for 15 percent.

TOMATOES | PRICES

Price shocks tomato growers Ontario growers paid less | Arbitrator sides with processors, who offered $1 per ton less

BY JEFFREY CARTER FREELANCE WRITER

DRESDEN, Ont. — This year’s prices for processing tomatoes have shocked growers in Ontario.

Prices dropped one percent from last year following the April 22 decision of Farm Products Marketing Commission arbitrator Kathryn Munn to side with the processors.

Munn chose between the grower and processor groups’ final offers after the two sides failed to reach a negotiated agreement.

Growers had hoped Munn would support their position, especially in light of higher prices in California.

“The growers seem to be very restless. They have higher costs with the wages and other things,” said John Lugtigheid, a member of the grower negotiating committee.

“If they didn’t have all that investment, people would be walking right now.”

Growers were looking for $96.40 per ton for paste tomatoes, $110.90 for whole pack and $105.15 for juice.

Three large companies buy most of the processing tomatoes grown in Ontario: H.J. Heinz Company and Sun-Brite Canning in Leamington and ConAgra Foods in Dresden.

ConAgra bought the Dresden facility last year, while the sale of the H.J. Heinz plant to Berkshire-Hathaway, a company chaired by Warren Buffet, was finalized earlier this year.

The price offers from the processors were similar. H.J. Heinz offered $94.40 for paste and $103.15 for juice tomatoes. Sun-Brite Canning offered $103.85 for whole pack.

John Mumford, general manager of Ontario Processing Vegetable Growers, said a $1 per ton decrease means $40 to $50 less per acre, depending on yield. A $2 per ton increase would have resulted in $80 to $100 more per acre, he added.

Tomato yields are often 40 tons per acre or higher and 60-ton yields are not impossible.

Mumford said the California base prices were up by more than a $1 per ton.

“The guys are looking at it and asking, ‘do I invest more in tomatoes?’ ” he said.

“In the longer term, the picture is not a good scenario. The growers are telling the board members that.”

Processing tomatoes have been part of the southwestern Ontario agricultural scene for more than a century, and the industry is now highly mechanized. There are large investments in labour, equipment and irrigation, and there have been disease challenges.

Mumford said the price situation is far better for other processing crops in Ontario.

“A lot of the other crops respond to the grain corn situation, so the prices are up anywhere from eight to 15 percent.”

Green pea prices are up by $13 per ton, while sweet corn prices are up by $8.75.

Prices for processing tomatoes have been higher in Ontario and California. Ontario prices topped $120 per ton in 2009.

The 2013 growing season is off to a slow start in Ontario. Potatoes and sugar beets have been planted, but growers are waiting for soil temperatures to rise before planting corn and other crops.

With processors paying less per ton this year, Ontario tomato growers will need stronger yields to increase returns compared to 2012. | JEFFREY CARTER PHOTO

Growers find markets for non-GM soy

Margarine makers face difficult requests

Growing demand | Tofu and soymilk processors who prefer non-GM crop traits will pay a premium

BY REBECA KUROPATWA FREELANCE WRITER

WINNIPEG — Manitoba farmers had fewer genetically modified soybean options when they first began growing the crop.

That has changed, says Dennis Lange of Manitoba Agriculture.

“In 2006, we had 43 percent conventional and 57 percent Roundup Ready,” he said.

“In 2007, we had 20 percent conventional and 80 percent Roundup Ready. In 2008, we had seven percent conventional and 93 percent Roundup Ready. Now, we have five percent conventional and 95 percent Roundup Ready.”

However, there are signs that the trend maybe slowly turning around.

Denis Cloutier, contracting agent for SunOpta Grains and Food Inc., said the demand for non-GM soybeans is increasing worldwide.

“There is a group of farmers who’ve decided not to grow GMO soybeans,” said Cloutier. “ They aren’t only looking to expand acres, but also for opportunities to make more money. Our premium (for conventional soybeans) off the current crush bid from the local elevators is $2 per bushel better than the local market. This year, that increased by 50 cents per bu. And, we pick those bushels up from the farm, so there’s no added freight for the grower.”

He said the costs of growing GM and non-GM soybeans are about the same when herbicides are included.

Weed control is more expensive with conventional soybeans, but seed costs are lower, which offsets the added herbicide costs.

“Roundup Ready soybean seed is about $1.10 per pound and the actual seeding rate is around $75 per acre,” Cloutier said.

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

While the vast majority of soybean production in Manitoba is Roundup Ready, there’s a growing global market for the conventional crop. | FILE PHOTO “Depending on the variety and seeding rate, it can be as high as $90 per acre. On non-GMO soybean, the average seed cost is currently around $35 per acre (retail).”

He said herbicide costs for conventional soybeans are $10 to $15 per acre.

Nevin Bachmeier who grows conventional soybeans near Kleefeld, Man., said a large market exists for the non-GM crop.

“Non-GMO soybeans typically have a clear hilum, which is what processors want to create a better tofu or soymilk product.”

The hilum is the eye, or dark spot, on the bean.

Bachmeier grows most of his crops under contract to reduce his risk.

“There is much less market risk compared to GMO soybeans, which are typically forward-contracted, and by pricing this far in advance, you’re looking at a negative $1.50 to $1.75 per bu. for off-field delivery,” he said.

“On top of that, if you lose your crop due to weather, you have to buy out your forward contract.”

He said non-GM soybean seed typically costs $22 to $25 per acre,

compared to $55 per unit for Roundup Ready beans. Farmers typically need 1.2 to 1.4 units per acre for a cost of $66 to $77 per acre.

“Chemical costs are higher with non-GMO beans (typically $15 per acre more), as glyphosate can be quite cost effective,” he said.

“You need to do your scouting with non-GMO soybeans ... (and) you want to wait until the last possible moment to spray because there typically isn’t good control after R1 stage. Most budgets with typical yields and cost have non-GMO soybeans yielding $50 to $70 per acre more revenue.”

NEONICOTINOIDS | CONTROL TOOL

Planter dust deflectors becoming more common The deflectors manage dust from seed treated with neonicotinoid insecticides thought to be harmful to bees

BY JEFFREY CARTER FREELANCE WRITER

DRESDEN, Ont. — North American agriculture is two or three years behind Europe when it comes to dust deflectors on air seeders.

Brian Sieker, Canadian sales representative for Monosem Inc., said the deflectors are commonplace in Europe, where they manage dust from seed treated with neonicotinoid insecticides.

“Most European manufacturers will have a system like ours. In Germany, you have to have a deflector and in the European Community, with equipment manufacturers, when one country has a regulation, usually everyone else complies,” Sieker said.

“It takes air from the exhaust fan for the vacuum, depressurizes it (slows it down) and then directs it to the ground.”

Earlier this year, the European Food Safety Authority said neonicotinoids

could be at least partially to blame for a decline in bee populations caused by the nectar, pollen and guttation fluid in some plants that bees came into contact with. It also raised concerns with the dust produced during seeding, which could spread the neonicotinoid seed treatment.

The dust from seed treatment has also been linked to honeybee deaths in Ontario, Quebec, and the United States. More than 200 Ontario bee yards may have been affected last year, according to the Pest Management Regulatory Agency.

There are questions over whether the dangers revealed in laboratory experiments are transferable to fields, where dosages are normally lower.

Sieker said Monosem planters have been sold in Canada, especially popular in the Lethbridge area, where 200 to 300 have been sold.

He expects the deflectors will become standard equipment on new Monosem planters in a year or two.

He said Monosem’s hopper-style planters do not use talc as a lubricant for their metering systems, though the company’s bulk planters do. The use of talc is viewed as an issue by some because it picks up the insecticides used in seed treatments.

This spring, the PMRA introduced voluntary best management practices for seed treatment insecticides: • Controlling flowering weeds at field margins so bees are not attracted to the locations at planting time.

• Delaying planting if it’s windy or extremely dry.

• Handling seed in a way that reduces dust emissions.

• Planting wildflowers in locations away from field crops.

Farmers are also asked to consider using dust deflector attachments.

As well, the PMRA is looking at additional measures for the future, including improved seed treatment formulations and the introduction of an

International Standard, ISO 17962, for dust control for new planters.

Manitoba farmer Juergen Schoppe, who immigrated to Canada from Germany in the 1970s, has been following the seed treatment issue on both sides of the Atlantic.

He said controlling the dust may not be enough to address the seed treatment issue and feels North American regulators are not taking the issue seriously.

“There is a lot of research being done that is being belittled in North America,” he said.

There’s been speculation about whether the European Union will introduce a general ban on the products.

On April 9, the House of Commons’ environmental audit committee in Britain called for a moratorium on imidacloprid, clothianidin and thiamethoxam by Januar y and the immediate banning of neonicotinoids for private gardens.

Canadian standards require margarine to contain vitamins A and D, but a manufacturer has been asked to add 10 times the normal amount of vitamin D to the product for an international market.

Anthony Robert, manager of quality assurance for Richardson Oilseed Ltd., said company officials are still investigating the request, which came from a buyer in the Middle East.

Robert said vitamin D deficiency had been identified as a problem among the female population in some Middle Eastern countries.

Conservative dress among women limits exposure to sunlight, the main source of Vitamin D. Because vegetable oil and margarine are widely used, products enriched with additional vitamin D would be one way to address the problem, Robert said.

“We’re a little bit leery at the moment to make sure that that is something that we are even allowed to do because that would be something of course we could not sell in Canada and the United States,” said Robert.

He cited the request as an example of increased traceability and logistics requirements that manufacturers face when providing product internationally.

“We haven’t actually said yes or no yet. We’re just trying to discuss the legalities of it because, once again, this is a product that would be illegal to sell in Canada.”

The Canadian standard for margarine requires that it contain no less than 3,300 international units of vitamin A and 530 IU of vitamin D. Robert said Richardson was also presented recently with a list of 28 tests that China wanted it to administer to products. It included tests for licorice root antioxidant, rosemary extract and tea polyphenol, none of which would be found in Canadian product.

Robert said Richardson successfully negotiated the list down to 15 tests in addition to the usual eight to 12 it regularly runs on products to ensure quality and safety.

“Everybody’s game is ratcheting up,” said Robert.

ABOUT MARGARINE Canadian rules require that margarine, an emulsion of fat or oil not derived from milk: • Contains no less than 80 percent fat.

• Contains no less than 3,300 IU of vitamin A and no less than 530 IU of vitamin D. • Calorie reduced margarines must contain no less than 40 percent fat, with no less than half of the calories normally present.

Other facts: • Margarine has been banned several times in Canadian history.

• Battles regarding margarine’s colour have also been fought in several provinces.

Ukraine lifts wheat export limits KIEV, Ukraine (Reuters) — Ukraine’s government has lifted restrictions on wheat exports introduced last year after a sharp drop in the harvest, the Ukrainian Agrarian Confederation lobby group said after a meeting last week between traders and officials.

“We have agreed to remove restrictions on wheat exports from today,” said UAC director Serhiy Stoyanov.

“But (additional export) volumes will not exceed 200,000 tonnes out of which 80,000 are already in ports.

Millers’ prices are higher than those of exporters.”

Last September, the ministry and traders’ unions agreed to cap 201213 export volumes after a drought and a spike in foreign demand threatened to leave Ukraine without enough grain for domestic consumption.

tralia, and Queensland keyed the increase.

In South America, Lanworth raised its estimate of 2012-13 corn production in Brazil to 77.1 million tonnes from 76.1 million due to satellite imagery that showed a rapid increase in crop vegetation density.

It also slightly increased its forecast of 2013-14 China corn production to 217 million tonnes from 216 million and 2013-14 Russian wheat production to 50.8 million tonnes from 50.4 million.

SEED

Farmers provided with free seed, fertilizer DHAKA, Bangladesh (Reuters) — Bangladesh will give its farmers free

fertilizer and seeds to boost cultivation of rice watered by rain and so protect the environment.

Bangladesh, the world’s fourth biggest rice producer, consumes almost all its production at home.

In January, amid soaring rice prices, it backtracked on a plan to scrap a four-year old ban on rice exports.

The stimulus package, worth nearly $5.6 million, would cover more than 300,000 farmers to help produce an additional 111,000 tonnes of a variety called Aus grown during the May to August season.

Bangladesh’s main rice variety, Boro, whose output last year was 18.76 million tonnes, needs extensive irrigation, which causes water levels to drop.

Bangladesh aims to produce more than 35 million tonnes of rice, including 2.5 million tonnes

of Aus, in the current year, up from nearly 34 million in the previous year.

Market insiders blame hoarding by millers and traders for a rise in domestic prices in recent months, despite good crops and stocks.

The south Asian country produces enough rice to feed its population of 160 million, but often needs imports to cope with shortages caused by natural calamities such as floods or droughts.

MARKETS

Brazil works to speed deliveries SAO PAULO, Brazil (Reuters) — Emergency measures to better organize the arrival of trucks at Brazil’s main Santos port have been

announced after months of intense congestion crippled the export of corn and soybeans.

The port’s terminals have been assigned specific unloading schedules, the country’s port authority said. Terminals that fail to respect their time slots will be fined, it added.

The measures were approved during an emergency meeting with customs, traffic police and terminal operators last week on a day when the main highway leading to Santos port had a 14 kilometre long line of trucks.

Brazil’s grain exports have been delayed for months following record harvests of corn and soybeans.

The country’s old and overburdened infrastructure, already strained after a normal harvest, have been unable to handle the volumes of freight rushing to port.

Forecaster ups corn, soybean outlook CHICAGO, April 24 (Reuters) — Crop forecaster Lanworth said last week that it raised its outlook for 2013-14 U.S. corn and soybean production due to recent rains that boosted yield expectations.

Lanworth said it expects the U.S. corn harvest to be 13.93 billion bushels, up from its previous outlook of 13.72 billion issued two weeks ago.

It upped its soybean production view to 3.42 billion bu. from 3.38 billion.

Recent rains across the U.S. corn belt also caused Lanworth to cut expectations for corn acreage in places like North Dakota, Kansas and South Dakota, but the better soil moisture was expected to more than make up for the reduced seedings.

Corn yields were seen at 158.1 bu. per acre, up from 155.8 bu. per acre, with the biggest gains coming in Illinois, Nebraska, South Dakota and Wisconsin.

U.S. wheat production for the 2013-14 crop year was seen at 2.007 billion bu., slightly lower than its previous estimate of 2.02 billion.

ANIMAL WELFARE | POLICY

European Union falls short of hog welfare objectives Sow stalls | Producers lack incentives to adopt changes, says official

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — British pig farmers abandoned their sow stalls in 1999 but struggle to remain competitive with the rest of Europe, where adoption of new welfare rules has been hit and miss.

Eighteen members of the European Union had said they would be compliant with new pig welfare directives

by January 2013, but only 10 have come online, said Zoe Davies, general manager of the National Pig Association in the United Kingdom.

The European Commission has started legal proceedings but this is a long and ineffective process, she said April 17 via telephone to the National Institute of Animal Agriculture meeting in Louisville.

“It is a big issue for us,” she told the conference’s animal welfare session.

“We have been trying to compete for 14 years and they have had plenty of time and they are still not there.”

Producers were supposed to convert their barns to remove the crates a n d p rov i d e m o re s p a c e w i t h improved flooring, as well as change painful procedures such as tail docking.

Davies said grant money is available to convert barns, but there was no real incentive for producers to comply before the deadline.

Several countries warned the commission that their producers would go out of business if they were forced to mandate the new rules.

“Spain and Italy have managed to convince the commission they are compliant, but we know they are not,” she said.

France did not submit information to the commission until last year, and Davies said there was no indication when it might be compliant.

She said the U.K. industry has struggled for the last 20 years, declining from 772,000 sows to 400,000. It now produces 4.2 million pigs, mostly in eastern England.

The industry faced classical swine fever in 2000 and foot-and-mouth disease in 2001.

“We never really recovered,” she said.

“Once the decline had happened, getting back the export markets never really happened.”

More pork is coming in from the Netherlands and Denmark and possibly countries where welfare systems have not been changed.

“Retailers have the power and if they don’t act responsibly, we have no hope,” she said.

“They need to know where their pork is coming from, and it needs to come from legal farms.”

The U.K. has 10,900 pig farms, but only 2,000 are quality assured under the National Farmers Union’s Red Tractor Assurance program. However, those farms account for 92 percent of production.

Half of the country’s sows live in straw based systems, 10 percent are in barns with partly slatted floors and the remainder are fully slated. About 40 percent of breeding sows are per-

“Innovation is ongoing, and there is all manner of toys that producers are providing for their pigs,” she said.

However, the public still sees problems with current management practices. People consider slatted floors barren and do not understand practices such as teeth removal and tail docking.

Teeth and tails are clipped to reduce problems with fighting and biting.

Davies said the pork industry is trying to work with welfare groups such as the Royal SPCA, Compassion in World Farming and EuroGroup for Animals, an umbrella group for 40 welfare organizations across Europe.

However, the British Pig Health and Welfare Council also doesn’t want to compromise producers’ ability to raise their animals and care for them.

The council is running large industry trials to assess the welfare of finishers and sows on 100 farms. Results will be incorporated into a new farm assurance scheme starting later this year.

She said welfare changes have been adopted, but there has been little pay-

back for the U.K. pig industry.

Few producers have made any profit since 2010. They receive a premium from retailers because the pork is considered high welfare, but they face volatile feed costs, which account for 65 to 70 percent of the cost of production.

Market prices have also been unpredictable, and there is a limit to how much consumers will pay.

She said most of the pressure for change is coming from welfare lobby groups and retailers looking for a competitive edge.

Davies said the industry also faces criticism over antibiotic use. Animal rights groups tell consumers to eat less meat to save the environment and warn that eating meat causes cancer.

There have also been undercover exposes of some farms where practices were unacceptable.

“When they come out with this information, they make it sound like every farm is like this,” she said.

Davies said activist groups also publicly protest any time someone applies for a building application.

They work with local residents to make it difficult to build new operations, citing complaints about flies, odour, dust, manure, disease that affects pigs and people and a general objection to “factory farms.”

ADVERTISING FEATURE

Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association Celebrates 100 Years A century of service is an impressive record of commitment.

The Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association (SSGA), founded in 1913, is reflecting on the significance of being the oldest functioning agricultural organization in the province. “What we do today is basically the same thing we’ve been doing for one hundred years,� says President Harold Martens, SSGA President. “Stock Growers works for the betterment of the industry with the goal of creating more value for individual producers.�

At its founding convention in Moose Jaw, the SSGA established clear objectives to forward and safeguard legislation that would meet changing conditions and requirements for livestock producers. In that era the major challenges of herd laws, fences and marketing took precedence as livestock producers fought to prove and sustain the value of animal production on the Prairies.

A lot has changed in 100 years, including the currently relevant issues, but the focus of SSGA remains steadfast. A well-recognized and trusted entity, the organization is called upon to serve on a wide range of cattle industry stakeholder boards, initiatives and advisory groups. “The willingness to listen to other opinions is probably the most important thing we’ve built upon over the years,� says Martens. “As independent cattlemen we might talk a little tougher at home, but we must accommodate other opinions when working with others toward common goals.�

History and people have positioned SSGA as a go-to group for policymakers and government agencies wanting input on key issues and changes. Some current projects with the provincial government include the beef and forage review, PFRA pasture

divestiture file, a look at the opportunity to privatize brand inspection services and ongoing input into Growing Forward II. “The people who went before us worked hard to build a reputation that gained the confidence of the government. We’ve worked hard to keep it,� says Martens. “Our mandate is to allow ranchers and cattlemen the chance to grow their investment. We value independence, but you often have to work with others in order to maintain it.�

The role of volunteers has been pivotal to SSGA. Directors are not paid for the countless hours they dedicate to the organization. It can be difficult to carve significant amounts of time away from individual businesses over extended periods. The result is sometimes evident in board member turn-over but that renewal, while at times challenging, often brings value in terms of fresh ideas, energy and opportunity.

Martens and his board view the 100th anniversary as an important historical marker, while recognizing that the work of the organization is far from done. “It’s a significant milestone,�

Martens says. “I see it as an affirmation of the fact that we’ve remained true to our principles over 100 years.

Not many agricultural organizations have been able to stand the test of time in the same way that SSGA and the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association have done.�

members to the betterment of the cattle industry in Saskatchewan, “Riding for the Brand� has been chosen as the theme for the 100th annual general meeting and convention and the anniversary celebrations.

The SSGA 100th Annual General Meeting and Convention and anniversary celebrations will take place in Moose Jaw, where it all began, June 9th through 11th, 2013.

Sunday, June 9th will provide the excitement of traditional ranch rodeo.

Familiar brands will battle for top honours in Team Branding, Wild Cow Milking, Team Doctoring and the Wild Horse Race, followed by a celebratory barbecue and old-fashioned barn dance.

The 100th Annual General Meeting is scheduled for Monday and Tuesday, June 10th and 11th at the Moose Jaw Exhibition Company Convention Centre, 250 Thatcher Drive East. The agenda will provide speakers and timely industry topics of the high calibre you’ve come to expect from this event. Enjoy an industry trade show

MAIL | RURAL CANADA

Forecast raises questions about Canada Post’s future Service in rural Canada | Conference Board of Canada predicts crown corporation will lose $1 billion by 2020

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Canada Post says it must implement fundamental changes to avoid looming financial problems as mail volumes fall.

A business-oriented think tank predicts losses of $1 billion by 2020.

However, the crown corporation said its obligation to serve rural Canada will remain.

Canada Post was responding last week to a report from the Conference Board of Canada that predicted annual billion dollar losses by 2020 unless changes are made, services reduced and labour costs slashed.

Opposition MPs quickly saw it as a prescription for a decline in Canada Post service, including in rural Canada.

In the House of Commons April 25, rural British Columbia MP Alex Atamanenko said Canada Post plans private postal outlets in his Southern Interior riding near an existing post office.

He said there have been no consultations.

“This is a major step to justify reductions in service at the main office and the eventual privatization of postal services in our rural communities,” said Atamanenko.

He demanded that Steven Fletcher, minister responsible for the postal service, “commit today to ensuring Canada Post remains a vital public service.”

As he did through the week, Fletcher noted that Canada Post is an “arm’s length crown corporation” with serious financial problems and said the NDP is part of the problem through

its support of unions, particularly the Canadian Union of Postal Workers.

“We understand that email and other technologies are creating serious long-term financial problems for Canada Post,” he said.

“To be frank, Canada Post’s labour and cost structure is unsustainable for the future.”

When Quebec New Democrat Robert Aubin took up the cause in the Commons, demanding a government commitment to keeping Canada Post as a public service, Fletcher pounced.

“It’s really rich to hear the NDP discuss this as it is part of the problem,”

he said April 24.

“In fact, it is the NDP’s big union bosses who helped delay our legislation to restore service to Canadians in 2011. The NDP and its puppetmaster, big-boss union dudes have accelerated Canada Post’s decline.”

Canada Post had turned a profit for the government until last year.

The conference board said mail volume is dropping sharply as more people use electronic communication. Losses are going to mount.

It suggested options such as alternate-day delivery in urban areas, more privatization and action on employee compensation costs and

pension obligations.

The report said there is strong resistance to closing post offices in rural Canada, where the distance to collect mail can already be substantial.

“And there is currently a moratorium on closing rural post offices,” it noted.

The conference board said consultations have shown that Canadians are changing their view of the postal service.

The post office, which was once considered essential to nation building, is now seen as having the movement of physical goods, rather than information, as its core business.

OTTAWA | POLICY

Ritz remains a favourite of lobbyists

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

As he has been for several years, agriculture minister Gerry Ritz remains the favourite government target for lobbyists.

During the first 16 weeks of the year, Ritz met with registered lobbyists 31 times, according to records released by the federal Office of the Lobbying Commissioner.

Lobbyists ranged from agricultural groups making their point about new farm program rules that took effect April 1 to concerns from both supply management and export-oriented farm groups about ongoing trade negotiations.

In late March, Agrium Inc. and Farmers of North America met with Ritz to discuss environmental regulations affecting agriculture.

The Canadian Federation of Agriculture, Grain Growers of Canada and Canadian Pork Council also were part of the lineup.

From the end of February through the first week of March, representatives of Grain Growers met with the minister five times, making it the group with the most access.

Other lobbyist visitors ranged from the University of Saskatchewan to BioteCanada.

As a target for lobbyists, the agriculture minister was more popular than finance minister Jim Flaherty in the days preceding his late March budget.

And although transport minister Denis Lebel was sponsoring legislation to enact the first rail shipper protection rules against poor railway service, he was visited by just 19 lobbyists with a policy point to make between Jan. 1 and April 17 compared to 31 registered visitors to Ritz’s office.

AG NOTES SOIL CONSERVATION NAMES HONORARY MEMBER Don Lobb, conservation leader and farmer, has been named an honorary life member of the Soil Conservation Council of Canada.

Lobb was born in Ontario’s Huron County and graduated from the agriculture program at the Western Ontario Agricultural College, Ridgetown Campus, in 1960. He farmed in central Huron County from 1962 to 1997.

During that time, he provided land for more than 50 university, government and agri-industry research projects.

In 1981, Lobb began to convert his cash crop land from conventional tillage to no-till, using windbreaks, reforestation and a modified terrace system. The farm became a model for sustainable land use, hosting visitors

from six continents at Conservation Days tours.

Lobb was a founding director of SCCC in 1987 and served as a director from 1996 to 1998. In 1992, the SCCC inducted Lobb into the Conservation Hall of Fame.

He has authored and co-authored several reports and lectured about conservation cropping systems.

MEAL PLANNING FOR NINE BILLION PEOPLE Pulse Canada is releasing a video series that reveals how peas, beans, lentils and chickpeas can play a key role in feeding the world’s growing population while contributing to the health of the environment.

Some reports estimate farmers will have to produce 70 percent more food by 2050 to feed the world’s expected population of nine billion.

There will be challenges facing agriculture related to soil health, water and climate change.

The Pulse Canada sustainability video series examines challenges and opportunities from a global perspective, as well as the perspective of both consumers and farmers.

Planting pulses can reduce one’s environmental footprint. They are a high-fibre, low-fat source of protein, that provide vitamins and minerals like iron, zinc, folate and other B-vitamins.

The first two videos can be viewed at www.pulsecanada.com/ environment/videos and the third is scheduled for a May release. The videos can also be viewed on Pulse Canada’s Facebook page.

Morris 61’ Contour C2 $CALL

THE C2 CONTOUR SHEDS TRASH LIKE NEVER BEFORE The next generation C2 Contour lets you cut through trash and makes opener adjustments easier. The independent opener features parallel linkage for ultraprecise seed and fertilizer placement. Adjustable packing pressure lets you pull through damp spots. Opener spacing options are 10” and 12”.At the heart of the C2 Contour’s improved ability to shed trash is the design of the single shank. The reclined 12-degree angle moves trash up and off the shank faster.

The distance from the ground level to the catch point has been increased to 21 inches on the C2 Contour, greatly reducing the potential for straw bunching.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;ITâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S WHAT WE DOâ&#x20AC;?

Quality Undercarriage & Repair Parts for use on equipment manufactured by: Cat, Case, Deere, Hitachi, Hyundai, Kobelco, Komatsu, Volvo, and other fine manufacturers.

Sealed & Greased Excavator Chains

Excavator links are lubricated using â&#x20AC;&#x153;Extreme Pressure Synthetic Greaseâ&#x20AC;? and fitted with the latest style Polyurethane Seal Groups to maximize lubricant retention and insure long life.

Sealed & Lubricated Dozer/Loader Chains

Forged Links

ITR Links are forged from Boron Steel, quenched, tempered, and induction hardened using the latest automated link hardening equipment to ensure excellent wear resistance under even the most severe working conditions.

Lubricated Dozer Chains are sealed with Polyurethane Seals and Metal rings to extend operating life and to eliminate the possibility of dry joints between â&#x20AC;&#x153;west turnsâ&#x20AC;?.

Pins & Bushings

Pins and bushings are critical to track chain wear life and are manufactured and dimensionally matched to ensure a perfect fit and sealing and joint integrity. Outside Surface Hardness is > Rockwell C58 to a depth of > 4mm with a core hardness of > Rockwell C34.

Chain Assembly

Lubricated Chains are assembled on fully automated chain assembly lines. Seal installation, Plug introduction and Oil fill quantities are 100% computer controlled and every joint is individually pressure tested to eliminate the possibility of leakage during working conditions.

Min / Max interference fit tolerances between the Pins, Bushings and Links are maintained automatically by min/max press force specifications. This process minimizes link breakage and pin/bushing drifting.

POLITICS | FINANCE

Alta. premier stands by opposition to provincial sales tax Restructuring taxes | Former finance minister says provincial leaders should consider bringing back a PST

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

The Alber ta government has missed an opportunity to discuss a revised provincial tax structure, including a provincial sales tax, says a former finance minister.

Ron Liepert told an April 25 meeting of the Southern Alberta Council of Public Affairs that Albertans are more willing than government to consider taxes that would allow savings for the future.

“I’m not here promoting the provincial sales tax. I am here saying let’s have a reasonable discussion about taxes,” he said.

Premier Alison Redford has been adamant that a provincial sales tax is not an option.

“We’re not introducing a provincial sales tax, period,” she told a February news conference. “I’ll say it again tomorrow if you would like.”

Liepert said a five percent provincial sales tax would generate $5 billion annually.

Coupled with an estimated $9 billion annually in resource royalty revenue, it could allow a balanced budget with funds left over to rebuild the province’s Heritage Fund.

“If Albertans paid the same amount of taxes that residents of British Columbia pay, and keep in mind B.C. is the second lowest tax structure in the country, it would mean … an additional $11 billion annually would flow into the treasury of the province.”

Current finance minister Doug Horner tabled a budget in March that included major spending cuts, causing protest in some sectors. Liepert acknowledged that controversy.

“My view is if you’re going to

make almost everyone unhappy, why not go all the way and implement all the measures and make them mad as hell and fix the problem?” he said.

“Because we haven’t fixed the fundamental problem. This would have been the year to restructure the tax system.”

The first year of a four-year mandate is the best time to make radical change, he added. It requires political courage but is necessary to protect future generations from provincial debt.

Liepert said the baby boomer generation and the one that followed are

likely the most selfish in history, having never experienced war or economic depression. As a result, current generations take for granted their wealth and level of services.

“Political leaders simply won’t face the electorate and be brutally honest when it comes to what today’s generation is receiving in benefits compared to what they are paying,” he said.

“We’re simply not paying our way today. We’re spending all of our resource revenue on today’s groceries.”

Nobody likes the idea of additional taxes, he added, but a five cent per

litre tax on gasoline, for example, “would hardly be noticed.” Most people don’t know today’s cost of gas because of its frequent fluctuation, he said.

A five cent increase at the gas pumps would generate about $500 million annually.

Liepert said the Heritage Fund could accumulate $100 billion in the next 30 years if Alberta could raise another $5 billion from a five percent sales tax and resource revenue continued to generate $9 billion.

Some of that could be spent on capital projects and infrastructure, some on a dividend to Albertans that

would partially offset the PST and some on projects to benefit Canadians, such as pipeline expansion to other provinces.

He said lower than expected resource revenue has wreaked havoc in the current provincial economy, but there could be an up side.

“I guess my greatest fear is that resource revenues will pick up next year and we won’t have the political courage again to talk about fixing an unbalanced tax structure,” he said.

“I think we’ll have wasted the crisis.

It could have been turned into an opportunity.”

CANOLA | CRUSHING

Louis Dreyfus expanding Yorkton plant WINNIPEG (Reuters) — Louis Dreyfus Commodities will expand its Yorkton, Sask., canola crushing plant capacity by 20 percent.

Dreyfus will start increasing capacity at its Yorkton plant this summer to eventually reach 3,000 tonnes per day, up from the current 2,500 tonnes, according to a company statement April 26.

The canola plant will be one of North America’s largest.

Louis Dreyfus also said it had bought Mitsui & Co. Ltd.’s minority interest in the Yorkton plant, giving it full ownership.

Global demand for vegetable oil from canola continues to grow, making the expansion necessary, said Brian Conn, the company’s vicepresident of oilseeds in Canada.

Richardson International Ltd. has announced expansions at both of its Canadian canola plants, including the one in Yorkton, while Bunge Ltd. and Archer Daniels Midland Co. are also expanding in Canada.

Cargill Ltd. is building a new canola crusher near Camrose.

UNITED NATIONS | IRRIGATION

United Nations convention worth investment: expert Drought research | Canada has withdrawn financial support for project

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

A world-renowned irrigation specialist and winner of the 2012 World Food Prize says the Canadian government is wrong to abandon an international drought research effort.

Israeli soil and water scientist Daniel Hillel argued that continued research on drought mitigation policies is important in a world where climate is changing and water shortages are a growing issue.

The federal government became the first United Nations member to withdraw from a UN convention on researching causes and answers to combating drought, citing the fact that much of its annual contribution of close to $300,000 went to bureaucrac y rather than research.

“I don’t understand why Canada would take that action,” Hillel said in an interview after an Ottawa speech at the International Development Research Centre, which helped fund his research in the 1970s.

“Canada has been very active over the decades in international affairs.

Canada is a very progressive country and is exemplary in many ways. I don’t understand why it would abandon this international cooperative venture. I hope it will reconsider.”

He was recognized with the 2012 World Food Prize, often referred to as the Nobel Prize in agriculture, for his groundbreaking work over 60 years in developing and promoting a

micro-irrigation system for agriculture in arid countries.

It was developed for desert areas in Israel and has been applied to parched areas around the world, replacing indiscriminate irrigation flooding w ith a system of plastic tubing that applies precise and regular water to the roots of plants.

“This is a very precise way of delivering water and water is a very precious resource,” said Hillel, a senior research fellow at the Center for Climate Systems Research at Columbia University’s Earth Institute in New York.

Pesticides and nutrients can be added to the water for focused applications.

He said the system is designed for smaller intensive agricultural operations rather than the larger scale farms found on the Canadian Prairies.

His system is credited with improving farm productivity in more than 30 countries and contributing to water conservation.

He said the traditional form of irrigation flooding is inefficient, wastes water and damages the land by water-logging it and bringing buried salt to the surface.

“Civilizations have been destroyed by degrading the land and misusing water,” he said.

During his speech at the IDRC, Hillel said scientific research and expertise are increasingly needed as world temperatures rise and climate change affects agriculture and soil productivity.

CONVENTION GOALS The United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification sets the following goals in its 10-year strategic plan: • To become a global authority on scientific and technical knowledge pertaining to desertification, land degradation and mitigation of the effects of drought.

• To mobilize and improve the targeting and co-ordination of national bilateral and multilateral financial and technological resources.

• To identify and address capacitybuilding needs to prevent and reverse desertification and the effects of drought.

• To improve the conditions of affected populations and ecosystems.

He said greenhouse gas emissions are changing the climate and creating a crisis for food production and sustainability in many parts of the world.

“We have to begin taking measures to reduce the emission of radiating gases,” he said in the interview.

During his speech, Hillel said the threat of climate change must be taken seriously, tackled by science and supported by political decisionmakers who can look beyond the next election cycle.

“The danger of hunger has raised its ugly head again,” he said.

LABOUR | LAWSUIT

Ex-crop insurance workers may have pension claim Crown corporation seeking former workers as part of settlement

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Former employees of Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corp. could be eligible for pension benefits even if they haven’t worked for the company since the 1980s.

Those eligible include farmers who worked part-time as adjusters between 1981 and 1999.

Crop insurance is seeking former workers to resolve claims under a settlement agreement reached several years ago.

“It is a priority of SCIC,” said chief executive officer Shawn Jaques. “We want to get this settled.”

The agreement stemmed from a lawsuit originally filed by the Saskatchewan Government and General Employees’ Union in 1997 involving several government agencies, including crop insurance.

Legislation had been amended May 19, 1981, to make non-permanent employees eligible for pension benefits.

The lawsuit claimed that not all temporary, per diem and part-time

workers had been informed they could participate.

A settlement with the government was eventually reached in 2007, and it took several more years to work out the details.

“What has occurred is the Public Service Commission was responsible for working through the terms of the settlement with executive government, and the treasury board crowns, which SCIC is part of, were responsible to work through their own settlements,” Jaques said.

Crop insurance recently sent out 400 letters to former employees telling them they might be eligible for the benefits. Advertisements are also alerting people to the possible lost pensions.

E l i g i b l e c l a i m a n t s w i l l h av e worked for crop insurance between 1981 and 1999, have no documentation showing they had an option to join the Public Employees’ Pension Plan when they began nonp e r m a n e n t e m p l oy m e n t , a n d worked for crop insurance for not more than 936 hours over consecutive years.

Former employees are eligible to make a claim even if they joined the pension plan part way through their term of employment. They also cannot have made a previous claim.

Farmers who worked as casual adjusters could be eligible, but marketing agents were hired on contract and are not eligible to make claims.

Jaques said payment amounts will depend on how long claimants worked and at what salary.

“I can’t even begin to estimate the number of people or the cost,” he said.

Thirty-one people had come forward within days of the first advertisements being published.

Claims must be submitted by July 31, and Jaques said the deadline is firm.

The corporation has set up a toll free line at 855-282-9762, an email at nonppc1@scic.gov.sk.ca and a link on its website at www.saskcropinsurance.com/nonppermpension to try to find as many former workers as possible.

A claims consultant is also working on the matter full time.

HERBICIDE | GLYPHOSATE

Better water makes better glyphosate Better burn off | High quality water provides a strong foundation for spring weed control

BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Farmers need to pay attention to their water when spraying glyphosate, says Chelsea Norheim of Rack Petroleum in Biggar, Sask.

“With all spray solutions, 99 percent of what you spray out is water,” the agrologist said.

“It only makes sense that water should be the first thing you should be looking at in terms of quality. You are using chemicals and chemical reactions vary depending on what’s being mixed.”

CHELSEA NORHEIM RACK PETROLEUM AGROLOGIST

Norheim said most of the groundwater in rural Western Canada is hard, containing calcium, magnesium and iron molecules. Calcium and magnesium each have two positive charges and iron has three. Glyphosate is a negatively charged molecule.

They attract each other when mixed in the same solution. As a result, iron will tie up three molecules of glyphosate, while calcium and magnesium can each tie up two.

Varying levels of these molecules create characteristics that inactivate glyphosate, and the chemical is unable to bind to the correct pathway in the plant.

Norheim said this can make spraying more expensive and possibly a waste of time.

“Essentially, the producer is wasting money and putting chemical into the field that isn’t going anywhere or doing its job.”

She said using a water conditioner can help. The product binds up the magnesium, calcium and iron ions so that glyphosate doesn’t get tied up in the water. It can also help transfer the product into the plant faster.

Herbicides benefit from high quality water as the carrier. |

Although Mike Cowbrough doesn’t dispute the science behind water conditioners, he said questions remain about how hard water affects herbicide performance.

Cowbrough, a field crop weed management specialist with the Ontario Agriculture ministry, said farmers would use water conditioners if they felt they had problems in their pesticide efficacy, but he doesn’t see that happening often.

“Since glyphosate has become basically quite a bit cheaper than what it was 20 years ago, people are using higher rates. When you use field rates that are much higher than what are in the studies, you generally don’t see a response,” he said.

“The antagonism which occurs and has been documented is basically overcome by rate. I think that’s the issue.”

Cowbrough said studies have found no problems when producers follow labelled rates and spray at good weed stages and water’s not “crazy hard.”

He said manufacturers would make recommendations on the product labels that state water hardness dramatically reduces efficacy if that was the case, but they don’t.

“Right now, in a Canadian context, I defy you to find a statement on a label that addresses hard water on glyphosate products,” he said.

Cowbrough also said current glyphosate has more concentrated formulations of active ingredients than older concentrations.

Norheim said the typical response for farmers who realize their weeds are not dying is to spray more glyphosate. Loading up the hard water ions with glyphosate allows the rest of the chemical to go to work.

Most producers would have previously been satisfied using half a litre of glyphosate per acre, but she says growers are boosting rates to maintain effectiveness.

“I don’t think it’s necessarily due to the weeds developing resistance. It’s due to the fact that you learn a product is missing things because it was being inactivated. So they start adding more and more and now we’re up to where most guys will put a litre,

SICK C NOLA?

litre and a half in a pre-burn down.”

It’s an antiquated attitude that needs to change, said William Brown, president of AdjuventsPlus, which has developed a water conditioner.

“We’ve been told we just add more glyphosate,” he said.

“The mindset is such that more glyphosate is better.”

Brown said the trick is to avoid inactivating the glyphosate.

“The fact is you can get inactivation, or your use rate is lower because of that inactivation. The secret is to keep more of what you paid for active without loss.”

Clark Brenzil, the Saskatchewan agriculture ministry’s weed control specialist, said another solution is to cut water volumes when applying glyphosate.

“Basically, what you’re doing is you’re upping the concentration of the glyphosate in the water carrier that you’re using. By doing that, you’re making it so there’s fewer absolute ions in there to antagonize the glyphosate,” he said.

“Typically, there’s a lot of efficiencies to be found by reducing water volumes. I would say most producers have figured that one out.”

Helmut Spieser, an engineer with the Ontario government, said not all water is equal and not all water conditioners are created equal.

“You can get yourself into a bit of trouble by using them (water conditioners) when you shouldn’t,” he said.

“Whether it’s an atomization problem, or the way the material deposits on the leaf, or how it acts once it gets into the leaf, you’re putting it in to do one job, but it has impact for every process that occurs beyond the (sprayer’s) tip.”

Norheim said not all weeds are created equal. Not all of them have the same chemical makeup, and some are tougher to control.

“This is why some guys increase the amount of glyphosate. The weeds have the same ions in the leaf surface that are tying up the glyphosate in the water.”

AGRONOMY | SEED TREATMENTS

Seed treatments for 2013 offer several changes and some new products PRODUCTION MATTERS

MICHAEL RAINE

S

eed treatments have taken a step forward this year with the addition of new fungicide Group 7 products.

The new products, along with expanded labels, mean producers have new options for controlling soil borne pests and early season insects.

The new products also reduce reliance on existing fungicidal seed tre atme nts a n d i n so m e c a s e s enhance their effectiveness. They also help avoid pest resistance.

Syngenta has registered new seed treatment products for 2013 that contain sedaxane, a Group 7 chemical that effects fungal respiration.

The lineup includes Cruiser Maxx Vibrance Cereals, which adds sedaxane to Group 3 difenoconazole and Group 4 metalaxyl-M. The insecticide in the mix remains thiamethoxam.

It is effective in cereals against most of the common fungal pests as well as wireworm.

A new version of Cruiser is also available for potato and beans. The Vibrance cereal seed treatment is

available for on-farm application.

Canola and mustard get Helix Vibrance, which is sedaxane in Vibrance added to Helix. The commercial treater-applied product controls flea beetles, blackleg, alternaria, pythium, fusarium, seed decay, blights, damping off and rhizoctonia root rot.

Also from Syngenta is Apron Advance, formerly a corn-registered combination known as Maxim Quattro. It now controls lentils, peas, chickpeas, dry beans, fababean, lupins and soybeans.

It is made up of Group 1 thiabendazole, Group 12 fludioxonil and metalaxyl-M and should find its way onto many farms this year because of its multiple modes of action. Producers can apply it with an auger.

The product offers protection against the usual cast of blights and seedling rots caused by pythium, fusarium, rhizoctonia and ascochyta botrytis, depending on the crop.

BASF’s new cereal product, Insure Cereal, offers three modes of action: Group 11 pyraclostrobin, Group 4 metalaxyl and Group 3 triticonazole.

It contains pyraclostrobin, which is responsible for the additional greening and plant health properties that producers have noticed when using Headline as a foliar fungicide.

It controls smuts, bunts, fusarium, pythium generated root rots, damping off and seed and seedling rots. It also suppresses cochliobolus blights and rots.

Dandelion is an example of a weed that naturally contains a lot of iron.

“So glyphosate hits the surface of the dandelion, is tied up in the iron and the glyphosate doesn’t go into the dandelion.

“That’s why it’s tough to kill,” Norheim said.

A conditioner will help tie up the iron in the water so that the plant’s iron can be targeted and glyphosate can go in and do its job.

Brown said western Canadian producers are using fairly marginal rates of glyphosate because of bad water quality, which creates a greater chance of inducing resistance.

“When you’re right at the teeter point of kill, you allow a lot more weeds to live.”

Rack Petroleum markets a waterconditioning product called Hitman.

Norheim estimates that 10 percent of customers’ glyphosate acres receive the water conditioning treatment.

Norheim said using glyphosate by itself costs about $4 an acre. In comparison, a conditioning product such as Hitman will cost about 65 cents per acre and allow producers to use as little as $2 per acre of glyphosate.

“So for $2.65, you should be looking at the same results as you would for $4,” she said.

Agrologists maintain that a quality weed control strategy often begins with water rates that lean to the higher side of the recommended range. This requires water containing low amounts of minerals and soil that might interfere with chemistry.

and Trilex. The new product is penflufen, another Group 7 fungicide.

The addition provides greater protection against rhizoctonia while maintaining Prosper’s control of most typical prairie fungal pests as well as flea beetles with clothianidin.

Trilex contains metalaxyl and trifloxystrobin as well as the new penflufen. Lentils, chickpeas, peas, soybeans and dry beans are protected from the pythium, fusarium, botrytis, ascochyta and rhizoctonia seed and soil blights and disease forms. The product can be applied on the farm with conventional treating equipment.

CONSERVATION | REDUCED TILLAGE

Thanks to this researcher, prairie soil now stays put LYSENG’S VIEW

RON LYSENG

Guy Lafond’s research shifted prairie ag without shifting the dirt

I

t was a dry, hot, windy day in the spring of 2012. Snow had long since disappeared from the Prairies and weather stations everywhere reported high gusts.

“Just looking out the window here.

Nothing but blue sky everywhere.

Twenty-five years ago, this would’ve been black,” said the voice on the phone.

It was Agriculture Canada researcher Guy Lafond from Indian Head, Sask., calling a colleague in Winnipeg to see if Manitoba was experiencing the same combination of wind and blue sky with no soil in the air.

At the receiving end of the phone line was University of Manitoba soil scientist Don Flaten, who reported that Manitoba fields were dry, the wind was “just a howling,” but the sky was also blue.

Flaten said conditions that day stand as proof that Lafond had achieved what he had set out to achieve.

Lafond, who died last week, was best known for his pioneering and ongoing work in zero tillage, continuous cropping, intensified cropping systems, soil and water conservation and direct seeding into stubble.

Flaten said he had a penchant for applying science to farming, figuring out how to make things work in a way that’s agronomically and environmentally sound.

“More than three decades ago, Guy saw huge opportunities for conservation tillage. He thought about systems with extended and intensified cropping systems, new crops, continuous cropping by seeding into stubble,” Flaten said.

“A visionary in my opinion. He saw things happening far off in the future that nobody else even imagined.”

He said it’s no stretch to argue that many farmers in business today survived and continue to thrive because of Lafond’s research.

“Twenty-eight years ago when I worked for Saskatchewan Agriculture, Guy and I worked together testing mid-row banding. He wanted to find out if this was a quick and convenient and efficient method for farmers to apply all their fertilizer at seeding time.”

This is not to say things flowed smoothly once he began his zero till work in 1985. It was about the same time that Saskatchewan stopped joint funding federal research projects.

“That provincial funding moratorium put a halt to a bunch of new zero till research we were just starting at Indian Head,” said Flaten.

That was when Flaten found out that LaFond’s vocabulary had “no word for the concept that you can’t do that.”

Hoechst had products that fit well

Field days played an important role for Guy Lafond, who treated his demonstration plots like they were his own farm. | DON FLATEN PHOTO with direct seeding and the extended crop rotations that Flaten and Lafond w a n t e d t o p u r s u e. P rov i n c i a l research money found its way into Hoechst research, and that data fed Lafond’s reduced tillage work.

Flaten said the Hoechst manoeuvre is typical of the way Lafond maximized research investments. The Hoechst arrangement was just the first of the many of such partnerships that Lafond used.

In 1990, producers near Indian Head became concerned that conservation tillage research might stop if the federal government closed the nearby research centre. Lafond helped them form the Indian Head Agricultural Research Foundation (IHARF) to support regional agricultural science.

IHARF ran its trials on plots of land scattered around the research centre that Agriculture Canada didn’t need in a particular year. It wasn’t ideal.

Jerry Willerth was one of three IHARF members involved in the foundation’s first land purchase in the

mid-1990s. They bought 312 acres near the centre, with the Royal Bank paying the interest on the mortgage.

Willerth said the purchase was significant because it finally gave Lafond the ability to establish longterm rotations and seeding trials.

More land has been added over time.

IHARF bought another half section last year from Bayer Crop Science. It is a short distance from the Agriculture Canada centre and the original IHARF land.

The land includes a well, electricity, natural gas, storage buildings and a laboratory that Bayer’s researchers had used.

Willerth said the expanded land base and lab are among the many Lafond partnerships that have compounding benefits for prairie agriculture.

“Western Canada would not have the zero till systems and crop rotations we have today had it not been for Guy Lafond,” he said.

IHARF researcher Chris Holzapfel, who has worked with Lafond for

13 years, said much of the success of the research station and the growth of zero till are based on the way Lafond orchestrated partnerships with groups as diverse as Ducks Unlimited and the chemical companies.

Unlike some researchers, Guy never shied away from industry partnerships, or saw “industry as the bad guy,” Holzapfel said.

“He (worked) well with inventors, industry, entrepreneurs, other government agencies, other researchers, anyone ... just as long as everyone is working toward a common goal.

Guy could pull them together and find matching funds and matching partners.”

The IHARF research farm turns a profit and is able to leverage it into matching funding and further growth. Partners credit Lafond for this success.

IHARF president Chad Skinner said Lafond treated his plots and field demonstrations like they were his own farm.

“Day and night ... definitely not a nine to five researcher who’s just here for the paycheque, a producer at heart.”

Skinner said Lafond’s credibility with farmers is based largely on his honesty and willingness to make his research available for public scrutiny, even when it goes against conventional thinking.

“He (hasn’t been) afraid to stand behind his research if it contradicts the norm.”

Skinner said Lafond didn’t avoid science that challenges the industry, even after a machinery company lawsuit over fertilizer placement technology.

He said Lafond was well known for doing the right things and he has the proof to back it. “He’s telling them to bring it on and challenge him. That’s why farmers trust what Guy Lafond says.”

Skinner said it has been a common sight in the Indian Head district to see Lafond standing in a field talking to a producer or making rounds with one in the combine.

“Farmers are out here (farming) everyday. Our lives revolve around the information we get from people like Guy Lafond,” he said.

“We need that long term research t h e y ( A g Ca na d a ) w o u l d hav e t ra s h e d i f I H A R F ha d n ’ t b e e n formed.”

Holzapfel said one of the first things he realized when starting to work with Lafond is the need for long-term research. Lafond showed him that a handful of years doesn’t provide a good perspective.

“For example, we have these longterm rotations here on the farm dating back to the 1960s. That work continued until just recently. And there’s the straw removal study looking at the impact of annual straw removal over a period of time. It started before (biomasss) ethanol was even discussed.”

Holzapfel said long rotations and straw removal studies typify the way Lafond often looked 20 years into the future while designing the research he would start the next year.

Some of the earliest IHARF projects dealt with precision farming concepts that weren’t widely recognized until later. They include delineation, nitrogen response and management zones defined by soil properties or elevations.

RESEARCH | NUTRIENT LOSS

Researchers partner to study Manitoba fields Runoff from crops | Project takes a closer look at crops, production and water quality

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

SIOUX VALLEY, Man. — Henry Wilson bends over to inspect a device that looks an awful lot like R2D2 from Star Wars.

The Agriculture Canada research scientist from nearby Brandon is standing on a flat area of a hilly field, still covered with canola stubble and patches of snow in late April.

He releases the top hatch of the unit to expose a small computer. After pressing a few buttons, he pulls the computer off the unit and reveals the purpose of the 90 centimetre tall, cylindrical machine.

The machine is an automatic sampler, which houses two dozen plastic containers inside its base. Every four hours, the machine samples water from a runoff channel two metres away.

Wilson will use the unit this spring to collect runoff water during the snow melt. He will also take samples from nine other annual crop fields in southwestern Manitoba.

As well, Wilson and his Agriculture Canada colleagues will take water samples from creeks and streams to evaluate how much nitrogen, phosphorus and carbon are running off fields in the region.

Wilson, a hydrologist and biogeochemist, is interested in how runoff affects water quality downstream of a field.

He and his colleagues are also seeking answers to a number of related questions.

“What’s leaving the field? What’s staying in the field? What’s the relative importance of management at the field scale? How is that affected by landforms? How is that affected by soil properties on the landscape?” said Alan Moulin, an Agriculture Canada soil management expert.

“These are some the questions that are priorities, which will be addressed by this research.”

Moulin has been studying the yield impact of varying fertilizer rates for the last few years at the Manitoba Zero Tillage Research Association Farm north of Brandon.

He defined areas on the farm that were high, average and low production zones, based on historical yield data, and then applied fertilizer at varying rates to those zones, ranging from zero to 150 percent of the recommended rate.

“Our hypothesis was that areas with high production would benefit from higher rates of nitrogen,” Moulin said in 2010.

Results from 2012 suggest that applying higher concentrations of fertilizer to areas with average and high yield potential does produce larger yields. Therefore, it could be an effective way to generate higher yields and potentially save on input costs by reducing fertilizer rates on

low production zones.

Wilson and Aaron Glenn, an agromicrometeorology specialist with Agriculture Canada, are working with Moulin and his variable rate research to understand the interaction between production choices, land form, soil conditions, yield and environmental consequences.

As an example of the link between Moulin’s research and Wilson’s water sampling, a producer might have a hilly field that slopes down to a nearby creek.

If the sloping area is a low production zone, a farmer might want to reduce fertilizer rates, which would cut input costs and minimize the nutrient running off into the stream.

Before making such a recommendation, Wilson, Moulin and Glenn would need to collect runoff, soil and yield data to understand the complex interactions at the field scale.

Wilson said the collaborative project represents an opportunity to m ov e b e y o n d h i s e x p e r t i s e i n hydrology and biochemistry and learn about soil fertility and soil management from a colleague such as Moulin.

Some of the farmers Wilson is working with in southwestern Manitoba practice no-till, others are organic and some till their fields conventionally. That variability will help Wilson understand how production practices influence water and nutrient retention.

“Once we have the (data), we can start to ask questions and make predictions about nutrient concentrations in the soil and how much of those nutrients to expect in runoff,” he said.

“My ongoing research has focused on identifying how the mosaic of land cover … land management, soil properties … influences the ratio of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus (leaving the field).”

Wilson is particularly interested in the ratio of nutrients leaving the field because it has implications for water quality in creeks and rivers.

For example, more phosphorus running into a creek can trigger the growth of more toxic algal species, such as cyanobacteria.

“A lower nitrogen to phosphorus ratio tends to favour … the dominance of certain type of algae, which we tend to think of a nuisance algae or something that can release toxins,” he said.

“If there is more nitrogen, it can still be quite productive (for algae), but it might be a different algae.”

The scientists are also interested in how soil nutrients, land forms, climate and land management choices effect greenhouse gas emissions.

“We’re trying to bring together the different aspects of the air, water and soil … and understand interactions among them,” Glenn said.

“This sort of thing has been identified as being fairly crucial to agricultural research and broader ecological research.”

It will take several years of water sampling and data collection to accumulate sufficient information to understand the interactions between

land management, land forms, soil nutrients and climate and how those factors influence soil productivity, water and air quality.

Foot-and-mouth disease is a threat Planning for the worst | With outbreaks around the world, North America is lucky to be free of FMD, says USDA official

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The World Organization of Animal Health received 119 reports of foot-andmouth disease outbreaks last year.

“FMD is out there and it is really rather amazing that we have not had it for so long in our country or on the North American continent,” said Jon Zack, director of veterinary services with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service.

North American authorities continue to plan for the possibility of an outbreak with strategies that involve slaughter, surveillance and biosecurity. Flexibility is critical in a region as big as North America.

“Choosing alternative strategies is a complex decision. It is a state, federal and tribal decision. It involves everyone,” Zack said during a foot-andmouth forum at the National Institute for Animal Agriculture conference held in Louisville April 15-18.

“You don’t lock yourself into a strategy where the response is worse than the disease itself,” he said.

One of the problems is the interdependence of the North American livestock system with cattle, pigs, sheep and goats moving from Canada to Mexico. All three countries have large animal inventories and an infection of any one of them is likely to change the status for all.

“If there was an outbreak in Mexico, what would that do to our status internationally,” Zack said.

APHIS has written guidelines because tough choices may have to be made during an outbreak.

All movement stops in a designated area of infection, trading partners are notified and emergency plans start within the first 24 hours of a confirmed case.

Decisions are needed for the status of non-infected areas, and agreement is needed on who is in charge.

Zack conceded that there will be regulatory interventions and resistance from other states and tribal councils. Local knowledge will have to be respected.

The goal is to quickly eradicate the disease while protecting the food supply, economy and public health.

There are also plans to create secure supplies of eggs, milk, turkey, broilers and pork.

“Stamping out” is the most common approach to disease eradication, in which infected and susceptible animals are euthanized and disposed of appropriately.

This works best if the outbreak is contained to a jurisdictional area in which FMD can be readily contained

ONLY

and further spread is unlikely.

The jurisdiction may decide on the “stamping out” approach and to use emergenc y vaccination before slaughtering animals.

Another ploy is the “stamping out” approach with modified emergency vaccination, which allows animals to live.

Emergency vaccination to live without “stamping out” protects susceptible animals. This strategy is reserved for an outbreak in which FMD is widely disseminated across the country.

There will also be swift quarantine and movement controls. Rapid diagnosis and reporting along with epidemiological investigation and trac-

ing are needed.

There will also be increased surveillance and stepped up biosecurity measures.

The United States participates in the North American FMD Vaccine bank with Canada and Mexico, but only limited amounts are stored.

No single dose of a FMD vaccine provides complete immunity to prevent all future infections.

Seven serotypes of foot-and-mouth disease and 65 strains are available.

Cross protection between these types varies based on antigenic similarity.

Quarantine areas will have specific boundaries but could spread as the crisis deepens.

The minimum-sized infected zone should be at least three kilometres beyond the perimeters of presumption or confirmed infected premises.

Buffer zone should be at least seven km beyond the perimeter of the infected zone.

The control area should be at least 10 km beyond the perimeter of the closest infected premise. This may change as the outbreak continues.

Nearly six million animals would be in the affected area if the disease was found in three counties in the states of Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas.

About 10.5 million animals would be affected if it spread to six counties and 17. 8 million animals if 12 counties were involved.

DISEASE | PREVENTION

Foot-and-mouth has devastating effects Disease spreads fast | Once discovered, officials must move quickly to contain highly contagious disease STORIES BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A foot-andmouth disease outbreak is not the end of the world, but it can ruin a rural community.

Lessons learned from other countries show that the disease is well on its way to infecting any animal with a cloven hoof once it is actually diagnosed. Countries dealing with it for the first time after a long hiatus need to be pragmatic about what needs to be done, said the head of program development for the Federal Emergency Management Agency in the United States.

“When we first identify the first case, from all the studies we have seen, it is actually not the first case.

Time has passed, and that case can be somewhere else,” said Sebastian Heath at a foot-and-mouth forum at the National Institute for Animal Agriculture conference in Louisville April 15-18.

The disease has been known since the 16th century but it was not until the early 1920s that scientists determined it was a virus, said Pam Hullinger of the University of California, Davis’s medicine and epidemiology department.

The U.S. has not had a case since 1929, while Canada’s last outbreak occurred in Canada in 1952.

The disease is highly contagious. A small amount can cause infection, but it is easily killed with vinegar or bleach. It does not usually kill animals, but it stops trade.

FMD is widespread and endemic in many countries. Many FMD strains of the virus often circulate in South America, Africa and parts of Asia.

The U.S. has had nine outbreaks, starting in 1870.

The worst happened in 1914 in Michigan and spread through a national dairy show and closed the C h i c a g o St o c kya rd s f o r s e v e n months. About 3,500 herds were affected in 22 states and 172,720 animals were infected. The outbreak cost $4.5 million in 1914 dollars.

Another case occurred in California in 1924 and was thought to be introduced from a ship from Asia after its garbage was fed to pigs. Cattle, sheep and pigs were affected in the outbreak, which shut down Californian agriculture at a cost of $6 million.

Taiwan suffered extreme losses in 1997. A delayed diagnosis stalled the clean up. It affected only pigs, and four million animals on 6,147 farms were lost, which was 38 percent of Taiwan’s hogs. The outbreak cost more than $1.6 billion.

Vaccination was eventually used.

The country has had subsequent outbreaks and has been unable to achieve free without vaccination status from the World Organization for Animal Health. It has been unable to rebuild its swine industry or its ability to export.

It spread because officials did not shut down auctions immediately.

Other problems included a vaccine shortage, improper disposal and a high density of farms in the infected

COMMON THREADS Pam Hullinger of the University of California observed common threads among cases of foot and mouth disease: • Early recognition and reporting are key.

• Effective biosecurity is key to minimizing the extent and controlling the spread.

• Early implementation of vaccination is critical to success when necessary.

• “We have a lot to learn about vaccination, and there is a lot to be gained in the development of new and novel vaccines and other agents that might help us in that short period of time when outbreaks are occurring and animals get exposed,” she said. area. Officials also struggled to disinfect vehicles because of cold weather.

Hullinger said the English outbreak in 2001 gave Canadian and American veterinarians a chance to see it first hand.

About 10,000 farms were depopulated, but only 2,000 were actually infected. This widespread culling may not have been the best strategy, but there were concerns about whether the public would accept vaccination.

The disease went undetected for three weeks on a hog farm and eventually infected sheep, where it spread through the auction system.

On the positive side, Hullinger said there was tremendous value in having animal and premises identification. The U.S. does not have this, he added, which will greatly hinder the country’s ability to respond and assess the full scope of an outbreak.

Human costs cannot be measured, and English farmers did not get good information on biosecurity or what was happening.

“It is really important that we understand there are significant impacts of these diseases, and these are things we can’t put numbers on,” she said.

At the same time, Uruguay battled its own outbreak with a different approach. The disease rapidly spread in a dairy region in the southwest, and 28 farms were infected within three days.

Three million cattle and eight million sheep were involved, and the livestock industry demanded vaccination. The country was the sixth largest beef exporter in the world at the time, and producers wanted to save their business.

Uruguay has been free of FMD without vaccination for 10 years.

Vaccinations are held in banks, and obtaining enough during an emergency is a challenge. The country started a vaccination program based partly on what was available from its own stores and other South American neighbours.

Two rounds of national vaccination took place in 30 days. Twelve million doses were used in each round of vaccination on 50,000 farms. About 2,000 farms had the infection, and only 7,000 animals were destroyed.

Costs of outbreaks are high Serious ramifications | Foot-and-mouth disease an ‘economic shock’ LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Many countries have high level biosecurity and top notch veterinary services, but they can still get foot-and-mouth disease.

The United States was warned in 2001 that it would have the disease within five years. It didn’t happen, but the risk remains that a serious foreign animal disease could enter the country, either by mistake, illegal movement of products or by a bioterrorist, said Patrick Webb, who manages emergency planning for the National Pork Board in the United States.

“In our industry, we consider it a low probability but a high consequence,” he said in an interview during an FMD forum held at the National Institute for Animal Agriculture conference in Louisville April 15-18.

A University of Kansas study on the economic impacts of disease for that state estimated all industries would be adversely affected, from livestock to banking to entertainment.

The Kansas model figures 1.2 million animals would be destroyed in a 14 county region that has one of the most dense cattle populations in the U.S. About one billion pounds of beef and 81 million lb. of pork would be lost to the market, said Gay Miller of the University of Illinois’s faculty of veterinary medicine, who has also worked on disease control and prevention and foreign animal disease emergency preparedness.

“We know we have epidemiologically naive populations around this country,” she said.

“Our ag vulnerability is high, and our biosecurity varies tremendously around different farms and across the industry. It could contribute to the FMD problem.”

Economic impact models calculate

FMD 101 Foot-and-mouth disease is an infectious viral disease that affects cloven-hoofed animals including cattle, sheep, goats, pigs and bison.

• Symptoms include high fever and blisters in the mouth and on the feet.

• It is easily spread by contact among animals, airborne transmission and by contact with equipment, feed, water, clothes and other materials that have come in contact with the virus.

• It is not usually fatal to infected mature animals but they can transmit the disease to others.

• Humans can contract FMD but that is extremely rare.

• The virus continually evolves, makimpacts of the disease, but Miller warned they are wrong as often as they are correct.

Nevertheless, the experiences of other countries shows that the devastation to the rural community and national economy is clear.

Further, no one is ever sure how trading partners may react.

“We don’t know what the trade barriers will be, but likely they will be severe,” she said.

Jon Zack of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, said the U.S. has strict rules in doing business with countries that have had FMD, and it should expect the same treatment.

“How we treat other countries is how we would expect to be treated ourselves,” said Zack.

There are products that would not need to be restricted in the international market, but many countries

ing effective vaccination difficult.

• Once animals have been vaccinated, tests cannot distinguish between an infected and a vaccinated animal. This affects exports because of potential risk of FMD spread.

• FMD outbreaks worldwide have resulted in the slaughter of millions of animals.

• Canada, the United States, Australia and 62 other countries are considered FMD free without vaccination, as designated by the World Organization for Animal Health.

• FMD was last reported in Canada in 1952.

would say no, regardless.

“A lot of trade is not science based,” he said.

Sebastian Heath, head of program development for the Federal Emergency Management Agency, said economic losses were great and destroyed people’s livelihoods when the disease pummeled England in 2001.

Economists tend to look at the disease in terms of transaction costs, indirect costs, lost revenue, marginal costs and opportunity costs.

“Foot-and-mouth disease is really an economic shock to the system,” he said.

In England, no one expected the extensive losses to tourism. People decided to stay away, and hotels went bankrupt.

However, disasters eventually end and recovery begins.

“Things do turn around and sometimes disasters become something of an economic stimulus,” he said.

BULLS | FERTILITY

Breeding soundness exams often disrupted by droplets ANIMAL HEALTH

ROY LEWIS, DVM

C

attle producers often question the appearance of lots of droplets on the semen evaluation forms of their young bulls.

These droplets cause frustration because the bulls have to be retested.

Droplets are probably the most common defects that veterinarians see when performing breeding soundness exams in the spring.

We see many more droplets in immature bulls that are just reaching sexual maturity. They are less active, and droplets are a frequent occurrence, especially when not housed close to cycling females.

It is important to know that the sperm that matures in the testicles’ epididymis starts with a proximal droplet near the head of the sperm.

This is wiggled or shook off as the sperm matures and travels through the canals within the epididymis. Fertility is affected because sperm with droplets is essentially not mature.

There are two types of droplets: • Severely affected (pathologic) droplets are called proximal

because they are near the head of the sperm.

• Droplets that will be shaken off later (physiological) are called distal and are in the middle of the tail.

Dr. Jacob Thundathil of the University of Calgary’s veterinary medicine school found that the percentage of droplets in ejaculated sperm goes down in the time it is chilled to be frozen and put into straws for artificial insemination.

This time interval is only three hours, and the same thing must happen with natural breeding.

A number of these distal droplets shake off and are left behind as the

sperm swims up the vagina and into the uterus. As a result, the distal droplets aren’t as serious a defect as the proximal ones.

All sperm start with a proximal droplet and become distal droplets as they mature in the canals of the epididymis. Lots of proximal droplets are often associated with other sperm defects, such as head defects.

Droplets are the main reason why many young bulls fail their first semen evaluation, especially if done at a young age. It’s why testing a beef bull before it’s 12 months old is not recommended.

It’s also why only half of 12-month-

old bulls pass. Many young bulls that fail on initial semen tests pass in subsequent tests a month or two later.

Indeed, 75 percent of bulls 14 to 15 months pass the test.

Veterinarians can’t predict which bulls will improve, so retesting is the only option.

I believe semen improvement can be sped up by housing young bulls close to cycling females so that they ejaculate off the senescent semen.

Veterinarians include morphological defects on their semen forms, so producers can see over time if the situation is improving.

The most dramatic improvement I

have seen was in a young bull with 100 percent proximal droplets. The percentage kept decreasing over time, and the bull had excellent semen by the time it was two years old.

The animal was a show bull, which prompted questions about whether it was too fat or inactive, factors that could have affected the situation.

Large numbers of droplets in mature bulls aren’t as common.

Producers who evaluate semen forms of young bulls should know there is a good chance the defects will lessen with maturity and use if most of them are distal droplets and the animal passes its semen test with overall defects of less than 30 percent.

The testing of younger bulls has become more common, partly because bull sale dates have remained the same while purebred producers are calving later.

Producers who sell bulls off the farm should postpone testing until their animals are as mature as possible.

It’s easier to evaluate sperm in the spring, when the weather is warm and cows are cycling close by, than it is in the dead of winter when the bulls are too young. Even one to two weeks makes a big difference.

The pass rate will be higher if semen evaluation is done later. It will also be easier on everyone, including the bulls.

Yara expansion plans uncertain Construction costs a concern | Final investment decision on Sask. fertilizer plant expected in June

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Yara International may be backing away from plans to significantly expand its Saskatchewan nitrogen fertilizer plant.

The company announced last June that it intended to add 1.3 million tonnes of urea production to its facility near Belle Plaine.

The expansion would more than double the capacity of the plant.

Yara received approval from its board of directors for a fast-track process that would see the new facility start up in the second half of 2016.

“Part of the urea produced will be with sulfur, which will meet the increasing demand from the canola crop segment in the Northern Plains region,” the company in a June 2012 news release.

However, the fertilizer company is having second thoughts about the project because of escalating construction costs.

“The price or cost increase in Canada is above what we had expected and we are now negotiating with the

different contractors to see how we potentially can get the costs down,” Yara president Jorgen Ole Haslestad said in a conference call with investment analysts, according to a transcript provided by Seeking Alpha.

“If we are not able to make it a commercially viable project, then we will not build. But hopefully we will be able to.”

Mark Cooper, president of the Saskatchewan Construction Association, said Yara has raised its concerns with the association and the provincial government.

“There certainly has been growth in cost and that comes with growth in the economy in general, but at this point we don’t consider that growth to be out of line with what can be expected in other jurisdictions,” he said.

Saskatchewan’s average hourly wage for construction workers has risen 25 percent over the last six years compared to a 15 percent increase across Canada, but it remains lower than the national average.

The average hourly wage for a construction worker in Saskatchewan was $25.78 in March 2013, compared

$25.78 IN SASKATCHEWAN

to $26.54 in Canada and $26.06 in the United States.

“What I’m hearing from industry leaders is that our costs are not out of line at all,” said Cooper.

He acknowledged there is lack of skilled tradespeople in Saskatchewan and neighbouring provinces, which forces the industry to recruit from elsewhere in Canada and internationally.

Saskatchewan’s employment demand is forecast to peak in 2015, based on expected construction projects, after which labour supply and demand should be in closer balance.

Yara spokesperson Esben Tumen said the company has legitimate concerns.

“Prices are high. This is an expensive place to build a plant,” he said.

Tumen expects a final investment decision to be made in June.

“The cost of this project is obviously one of the key factors when we make that decision,” said Tumen, who wouldn’t say what the company hopes to spend on the project.

David Asbridge, president of NPK Fertilizer Advisory Service, estimates

the expansion will cost $1.3 to $1.5 billion.

He said it doesn’t bode well for the dozens of other proposed nitrogen fertilizer projects if a company like Yara is balking at building a facility.

Yara has a cost advantage over other projects because it is an expansion project that will use existing infrastructure rather than building from scratch.

“They’ve already got a head start on somebody like the Egyptian plant in Iowa for instance, which is basically going out in the middle of a corn field,” said Asbridge.

Green Markets, a U.S. publication that covers the fertilizer industry, published a list of 26 companies in December contemplating the construction of more than 40 nitrogen fertilizer plants in North America.

The list has since grown to more than 30 companies.

Asbridge said Yara has a leg up on about half of the proposed projects, which have never produced or marketed fertilizer, because it already has established distribution and marketing systems in place.

TAXATION | EDUCATION COSTS

Funding a child’s education comes with tax implications TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS

COLIN MILLER

I

t becomes increasingly important to consider how to fund your children’s post-secondary education as they near high school graduation.

For many producers, the money will have to come from the farm.

Withdrawing funds from the family farm provides an opportunity to support your child’s education, but there are tax consequences.

However, these tax consequences can be minimized with effective planning, leaving you with increased after-tax cash flow for education.

Taking an annual dividend from the farm corporation to cover the family’s living expenses is common practice.

Farming parents often withdraw a larger-than-usual dividend from the farm to provide for their children’s tuition and living expenses.

However, increasing the dividend will increase the taxes owed.

A n a d d i t i o na l w i t h d rawa l o f $15,000 to $20,000 for tuition and living expenses could result in paying more tax on the additional dividend,

assuming the highest tax rate of 28 to 34 percent, depending on province of residence.

The government provides tuition and education tax credits to offset a portion of the costs related to pursuing post-secondar y education,

TRANSPORTATION | EARNINGS REPORT

which can be easily transferred from the student to a parent’s return.

These credits help reduce your tax bill on the money withdrawn from the company, but the relief is not great in context of your overall tax bill. Also, your child will not be mak-

ing use of their other basic personal tax credits.

One option could be to pay your child a wage for the time they spend working on the farm. This option is common and helps get money into the child’s hands. The tax paid by your child would be about 15 percent, assuming a wage of about $17,000. This would be before any use of the child’s tuition credits.

This option would reduce the potential tax you would owe, but it does require the child to work on the farm.

The government has strict rules about amounts paid to related individuals. The amount has to be reflective of market rates and must be reasonable for the actual time worked.

Therefore, this is likely not a great option if your child spends a nominal amount of time working on the farm.

Another alternative is to pay the dividend directly to your child. To do this, the child needs to be a shareholder in the company.

You may be concerned with giving your children an interest in the farm at this point in their lives, but you can structure the share ownership so that they have no control over the corporation and do not benefit from equity built up over the years by giving them fixed value preferred shares.

These preferred shares would be non-voting and non-equity, which means your child would have neither voting control over the farm’s operations nor entitlement to its equity.

The purpose of these shares is to make it possible to pay the dividend directly to your child, who must be 18 or older for the plan to work.

Your children will pay no or minimal tax on a dividend of $17,000, assuming they have no other significant sources of income.

This is a lot lower than the possible 28 to 34 percent tax that would likely apply if you had withdrawn the funds personally.

Your children will likely use up their tuition and education credit amounts under this option, depending on the size of the dividend, with no ability to transfer them to you. This applies even if the credits are not taxable.

These alternatives can provide a meaningful reduction in your tax bill, but the most tax-effective option will depend on the amount taken from the farm annually and the amount required to pay for tuition and living expenses for your child.

It is also important to become informed about what is required to establish your child as a preferred shareholder in the family farm.

You should consult with a professional adviser to help determine the best option for you and your family.

CP posts record first quarter Revenue up | Growth follows job cuts

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Canadian Pacific Railway reported record first quarter earnings, posting significant year-over-year improvements in total revenue, net income and operating efficiency.

“CP delivered the best first quarter results in its history despite challenging winter conditions,” said chief executive officer Hunter Harrison.

• Net income in the quarter ending March 31 was $217 million, or $1.24 per share, up 51 percent from $142 million, or 82 cents per share, in the same period in 2012.

• Revenue was $1.495 billion, up nine percent.

• Operating ratio, a key measurement of railway efficiency, improved to 75.8 percent from 80.1 percent a year earlier.

• Lower operating ratios reflect a more efficient railroad.

• CP wants to achieve a sustainable operating ratio in the mid-60s by 2016.

“There remains a lot of work to do as we continue to make significant changes to our operating model. With a very strong start to the year … we are on pace toward the best year-end financial and operating performance

in CP’s history,” Harrison said.

The company has reduced its workforce by 3,400 people since Harrison was appointed CEO last summer.

Shortly after joining CP, Harrison announced the company would cut 4,500 jobs by 2016 in an effort to make the railway the most efficient carrier in North America.

Last month, he hinted that job cuts could approach 6,000, a reduction of nearly 30 percent from early 2012 when 19,500 were on the payroll.

CP expects 2013 earnings per share to grow by 40 percent, unchanged from its previous forecast.

There were 659,000 car loads shipped in the quarter of which 108,000 were grain. Grain carloads dropped two percent from the same quarter in 2012.

The railway shipped slightly more U.S. origin grain and a little less Canadian grain.

Even a herbicide-resistant variety can use a little help from a friend.

TM

Safe-Guard TM (fenbendazole ) is a different class of dewormer than pour-ons and injectables. It works fast to stop internal parasites and the hidden damage they cause. These parasites suppress feed intake, reduce average daily gain, hurt nutrient absorption and immune function, reducing the health and performance of your cattle.1,2 Use Safe-Guard as part of your parasite control program for more pounds of high quality beef in the feedlot.3,4 Visit www.AddSafe-Guard.com for more information or contact your veterinarian.
