Hundreds to lose jobs as government cuts costs

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

The Conservative government served notice to 700 Agriculture Canada employees last week that their jobs are in jeopardy.

Unions said more than 400 jobs will be lost to cost cutting.

Research, innovation, technical support and policy analyst positions were heavily targeted.

Critics said the cuts show a disturbing disregard for basic research within the department.

The Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada said of the 350 employees who were targeted with letters of potential job loss, 79 are scientists, 76 are information specialists, 14 are biologists and five are research managers.

The targeted positions are concentrated in the Ottawa region but extend across the country.

Pest management experts have determined that neonicotinoid seed treatments are becoming less effective against flea beetles.

As a result, new chemistries and approaches will soon be needed to control flea beetles in Western Canada, said Bob Elliott, an Agriculture Canada entomologist.

“We have certainly seen weaknesses in our current registered products,” said Elliott from his office in Saskatoon.

“We’ve seen some limitations and we’re scrambling to make up for those deficiencies…. Down the road we will have to be looking for new chemistries that give us better control against striped flea beetles and under cooler, wetter conditions.”

Elliott has worked with other Agriculture Canada scientists and a provincial entomologist in Manitoba to study the risk of flea beetles to canola production and the efficacy of insecticidal seed treatments.

Grower concerns about seed treatments were the genesis of the research, which is a joint initiative

between Agriculture Canada and the Canola Council of Canada. “(The canola council) indicated three years ago that they had received a number of complaints from producers about so-called seed treatment failures,” Elliott said.

He said he had observed before the research project that neonicotinoid seed treatments performed erratically. They provided excellent protection against flea beetles in some years but not in others.

Working with a hypothesis that seed treatments provided better protection in warm and dry conditions, Elliott set out to measure how temperature and soil moisture altered neonicotinoid efficacy on crucifer and striped flea beetles.

They are the two primary varieties that forage on immature canola plants in Western Canada.

He discovered that neonicotinoid seed treatments killed only onequarter to half of crucifer flea beetles in wet soil.

The study also confirmed earlier research that had determined that neonics are toxic for crucifers but aren’t nearly as lethal for striped flea beetles.

The evidence demonstrating that neonics are less effective in cold, wet conditions and against striped beetles is compounded by two factors: a population shift toward striped flea beetles and a trend toward canola growers seeding crops earlier in the spring.

Elliott and Agriculture Canada colleague Julie Soroka have monitored flea beetle populations in canola fields at the Saskatoon research centre since 2003. They

determined that the crucifer was the dominant species between 2003 and 2009, comprising 97 percent of the population.

“Since 2009 … we’ve seen quite a shift in the composition of that population,” Elliott said.

“In 2011, for example, the frequency of striped flea beetles jumped from less than one percent to 62 percent of the population … in the early seeded (canola).”

In later seeded canola, striped flea beetles increased from one percent to 36 percent in the Saskatoon fields.

Prairie flea beetle surveys from 2007 to 2011 convinced Soroka that striped beetles are becoming more common in many regions.

In a 2012 report on the flea beetle species shift, Soroka said the striped flea beetle has displaced the crucifer “as the most frequently encountered flea beetle in central Alberta, central Saskatchewan, and much of Manitoba. And once rarely encountered in the rape-canola fields of southern Canada, (the striped) is now found there in increasing numbers.”

Job cuts spread across the country Within Agriculture Canada, the last vestiges of the Rural Secretariat are on the chopping block.

Among members of the Canadian Association of Professional Employees, 96 employees received letters that their jobs are targeted, although 17 have decided to leave the public service and the rest will compete for remaining jobs.

CAPE represents economists and policy analysts.

Proposed cuts extend across the Prairies, while in British Columbia, staff at Agriculture Canada’s range management centre in Kamloops have been targeted.

“I think they are in the process of gutting the basic research that Agriculture Canada does that is the future of the agriculture industry,” Public Service Alliance of Canada agriculture union president Bob Kingston said.

“They really don’t seem to get the importance of research.”

At least 250 positions will be lost among his members.

Ron Bonnett, president of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, said the job cuts are disturbing.

“We knew cuts were coming, but these seem to be coming without a real vision of what is needed,” he said.

“It makes us nervous that there seems to be no vision, no overall plan about how research, basic research, should be funded.”

Bonnett said the government concentration on short-term and industry directed research projects is useful, but there must be a broader vision.

“What we’re seeing is government pulling back from A-base (fundamental research) funding and going forward on a project-by-project basis,” he said.

“We need more vision than that.”

Agriculture minister Gerry Ritz dismissed the criticisms in the House of Commons last week.

New Democrat Mathieu Ravignat said Agriculture Canada is walking away from science, which is “akin to turning back the clock.”

Ritz said he had it wrong.

Instead, the department is cutting costs in information technology services, personnel, asset management, policy “and a lot of things that are duplications of what are being done by industry and by the provinces.”

He said the intent is to make the department more efficient so it can serve the industry better.

“We are looking at an efficient, effective system that builds the strength of the farmgate,” Ritz said.

“That is exactly what we are delivering.”

Bonnett said the CFA will meet with Ritz and agriculture committee chair Merv Tweed from Brandon to urge the committee to study the impact of cuts and government priorities on essential public research.

“It seems the research agenda is to be dictated by industry for shortterm projects, but I think we need a longer-term perspective as well,” he said.

Deputy minister Suzanne Vinet said in a memo to Agriculture Canada employees May 9, the day the job loss letters were delivered, that the cuts are for the good of the department and the industry, and the targeted employees have been important.

“We want to express our gratitude for the high level of performance and dedication employees have shown throughout what has been a challenging period in our evolution,” she wrote.

INSECTS | FROM PAGE ONE

Tiny insects, big problems Scientists don’t fully understand the population shift, but the striped beetle may be taking over because it is more tolerant of neonicotinoid seed treatments.

John Gavloski, an entomologist with Manitoba Agriculture, said striped flea beetles may also be more noticeable because growers are seeding canola earlier in the spring.

Striped flea beetles emerge in the spring several weeks before crucifers. As a result, striped flea beetles are more likely to attack canola seedlings when growers seed early.

“If you go (scouting) early in the season (early May to mid May), it’s going to be dominantly striped,” Gavloski said.

“In June it’s going to be all crucifer.”

In other words, seeding canola earlier may offer potential yield gains but also provide an opportunity for striped flea beetles.

“If we are advancing our seeding dates … we are tilting the scales in favour of striped over crucifer,” Elliott said.

Producers might have to start spraying emerging canola more frequently if they continue to seed into cool, wet soil and flea beetle populations continue to shift toward the striped species.

“If we have a repeat of last year, i.e., cooler, wetter conditions, we could anticipate more spraying against flea beetles,” Elliott said.

The canola industry will also need alternatives to neonicotinoids.

“That’s coming. There are some (chemistries) that are coming out relatively soon,” Gavloski said.

“We do need them…. There’s certain conditions where they (neonics) just don’t work very well.”

EFFICACY STUDY Agriculture Canada scientists have used lab studies to evaluate the efficacy of neonicotinoid seed treatments, including Gaucho CS FL, Prosper FX, Helix or Helix XTra, which are applied to more than 90 percent of all canola planted in Canada. After 72 hours of exposure to the chemicals at 20 C, the researchers found: • In dry soil, the mortality of crucifer flea beetles was 31 to 85 percent.

• In wet soil, mortality of crucifers was 22 to 50 percent.

• In dry soil, the mortality of striped flea beetles was five to 11 percent.

• In wet soil, mortality of striped flea beetles was three to 11 percent.

• In check treatments, with no seed treatment or only a fungicidal seed treatment, the mortality of crucifer and striped flea beetles was four and three percent, respectively.

Research stations hit by cuts Facilities consolidated | Several western Canadian sites will be closed

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Agriculture Canada will close some of its research operations in Western Canada and consolidate others as part of an ongoing effort to reduce costs and build a leaner, more efficient research organization, federal officials said this week.

Last week, Ottawa issued potential job loss notices to 350 Agriculture Canada employees across Canada, including 125 in Western Canada.

Among other measures, Agriculture Canada will: • Consolidate national beef research operations in Western Canada.

• Consolidate dair y research activities at Lennoxville, Que. • Discontinue the dairy science program at the Agassiz, B.C., research centre.

• Close a pair of Agriculture Canada research stations based at One Four and Stavely, Alta., and transfer that work to the SemiArid Prairie Agricultural Research Centre (SPARC) at Swift Current, Sask.

• Close former Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration (PFRA) o f f i c e s i n D a u p h i n , Ma n . , Beausejour Man., Westlock, Alta., Red Deer, Alta., Peace River, Alta., Melville, Sask., Watrous, Sask., North Battleford, Sask.,

and Weyburn, Sask.

In a May 13 email to the Western Producer, Agriculture Canada officials emphasized that the steps were aimed at reducing duplication, containing costs and providing more flexible cost-shared programs that are tailored to meet local needs.

“We continue to maintain core activities where government has a unique role and adds value and are working collaboratively with our partners so that producers and processors can gain maximum returns from the market,” the email said.

According to a May 9 news release issued by the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada (PIPSC), the workforce adjustments announced by Ottawa are principally focused in Agriculture Canada’s science and technology branch and the market and industry services branch.

Affected employees include 144 commerce officers, 79 scientists, 76 information technology (IT) specialists, 29 engineers, 14 biologists, five research managers and three procurement officers.

Geographically, 125 of the 350 affected employees — about 35 percent — are employed at research facilities in Western Canada, including 33 in Manitoba, 49 in Saskatchewan, 21 in Alberta and 22 in British Columbia.

Plant research will be shifted to new locations under a federal plan and some programs will be cut. | FILE PHOTO Across the West, Agriculture Canada operates eight research centres in Summerland and Agassiz, B.C., Lacombe and Lethbridge, Alta., Saskatoon and Swift Current, Sask., Brandon, Man., and Winnipeg.

The Winnipeg centre is slated for closure in 2014.

Agriculture Canada also manages field sites and research stations at Melfort, Sask., Scott, Sask., , Outlook, Sask., Morden, Man., Onefour, Alta., Vauxhall, Alta., Stavely, Alta., and Beaverlodge, Alta.

Consolidation of Agriculture Canada’s operations will affect various operations in the West although it could be months before

the full extent of the consolidations are known.

In Brandon, research related to beef grazing systems will be moved to Lacombe, which will focus on research related to cow-calf operations, forage production and beeffed systems.

Researchers at Lethbridge will focus on finishing feedlot cattle.

Rangeland research based at Lethbridge will be relocated to Swift Current.

Agriculture Canada will continue to conduct research in agricultural water processes but will reduce water engineering activities and associated transfer technology programming where private sector expertise exists.

All told, Agriculture Canada research facilities employed roughly 1,350 people in Western Canada as of late 2012.

Last week’s notices will affect close to 10 percent of the department’s Western Canadian workforce.

In 2012, similar notices were issued to 150 Agriculture Canada employees.

Those cuts prompted the closure of the Cereal Research Centre in Wi n n i p e g , t h e re t i re m e nt o f numerous senior researchers and the relocation of other staff to research facilities in Morden, Man.

BIOFUEL | CANADIAN CAPACITY

U.S. corn making much of Canada’s ethanol Imports supply 41 percent of mandate | Large industry in United States said to be partially to blame

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Canada’s ethanol mandate is being met in a large part by a torrent of U.S. corn ethanol flooding across the border.

The five percent federal mandate requires 2.2 billion litres of ethanol to be blended into the fuel supply annually.

Canadian fuel blenders imported 893 million litres of U.S. ethanol in 2012, according to the U.S. Renewable Fuels Association. That ’s enough foreign fuel to meet 41 percent of the national mandate.

It is not what the federal government had in mind Sept. 1, 2010, when it announced that regulations requiring a five percent ethanol blend in Canada’s fuel supply would come into effect Dec. 15, 2010.

In a backgrounder document accompanying the announcement, the government said the mandate would provide the industry with the regulatory certainty it needed to build production plants sufficient to supply the Canadian market and provide a new market for grain.

“Support for renewable fuels is support for farmers, rural communities and our economy,” agriculture minister Gerry Ritz said in a news release.

Almost three years later, it is apparent that much of the opportunity is occurring south of the border.

Canada’s total ethanol capacity is 1.6 billion litres, according to the Canadian Renewable Fuels Association.

Natural Resources Canada has a different number. It says production capacity has grown to 1.92 billion litres following the announcement of the Renewable Fuels Strategy, up from .2 billion litres before the announcement.

It estimates there were 1.725 billion litres of actual production last year.

Even using Natural Resources Canada’s numbers, production would have fallen short of the mandate by 475 million litres, assuming every drop was used to meet Canada’s mandate.

That is why Canada has become the top destination for U.S. ethanol exports, accounting for 32 percent of sales last year.

“It has been the number one export

market for the U.S. for the last several years,” said Geoff Cooper, vice-president of research and analysis with the U.S. Renewable Fuel Association.

“We do expect Canada to remain as a top export market for the U.S.” So what went wrong? Why is such a big chunk of Canada’s mandate being met by U.S. corn ethanol rather than wheat ethanol from Western Canada?

“That’s a difficult question to answer,” said Calvin Eyben, general manager of Terra Grain Fuels, the largest ethanol plant in Western Canada.

If he had to boil it down to one reason, it would be that the U.S. has 55.7 billion litres of capacity to meet a 2013 federal mandate of 50.7 billion litres.

“That’s the biggest reason why everybody is struggling, is because there was too much investment on the U.S. side and nobody really predicted that in Canada,” he said.

Dale Williams, manager of sales and logistics with Terra, said it also has a lot to do with the feedstock.

Corn is cheaper than wheat and produces more ethanol.

The upshot is that U.S. corn ethanol

can be competitive with Saskatchewan wheat ethanol in Alberta and British Columbia, even with the substantial freight disadvantage.

Al Mussell, senior research associate with the George Morris Centre, said the federal government might have misread the appetite for ethanol. “ There must have been some expectation that provinces would come pretty firmly on side with this in order to make it work,” he said.

That hasn’t been the case. For instance, only one small ethanol plant operates in Alberta.

“There may be some provinces that have limited their involvement in this out of concern for livestock enterprises that they have in the province,” said Mussell.

He also questioned the push by politicians to create an ethanol policy that would encourage farmer investment in small scale plants that would be hard-pressed to compete against large multinationals.

Canadian companies are also forced to pay higher wages to compete with companies in the booming

oil and gas sectors.

And the competitive landscape is getting worse in Western Canada.

On April 1, Saskatchewan reduced its ethanol tax credit to 10 cents per litre from 15 cents, bringing the province into line with the recently reduced subsidies in neighbouring Alberta and Manitoba.

Manitoba is phasing out its subsidy program altogether by 2014-15 and Alberta a year later. It sounds as if Saskatchewan will again be following suit.

“We have been led to believe that Saskatchewan will be phasing it out over the next year or two,” said Eyben.

He worries that eliminating the subsidy will open the door to U.S. ethanol imports.

“Right now, that subsidy makes it uneconomical for any Saskatchewan company to bring in U.S. ethanol,” said Eyben.

Saskatchewan is one of the few provinces that exports ethanol. Its five plants produce more than is required by the province’s 7.5 percent mandate. Most of the excess goes to Alberta and B.C., where Saskatchewan’s plants face stiff competition from U.S. ethanol. It will be fiercer once the subsidies disappear.

“We’re going to have to be competitive with the U.S. plants, and if we’re not competitive then this industry will downsize,” said Eyben.

That is going to be a difficult proposition, given all the competitive advantages for U.S. ethanol.

“We’re going to have to get creative,” said Eyben.

It might mean finding alternative revenue sources, such as selling the carbon dioxide generated in the fermentation process to a local greenhouse.

Or it may mean taking a closer look at the bottom line.

“We would have to look at buying (farmers’) grains cheaper and/or selling our ethanol at higher prices in order to maintain the facility in good standing order,” said Eyben.

Mussell said the ethanol business was a licence to print money in 2006 and 2007, but lately it has been hard to generate a profit because of escalating feed grain costs.

“Through last year, it was just nothing but red (ink),” he said.

“I think it has recovered a little bit but I don’t think to the level that would cause anybody to want to reinvest in one of these things.”

Feed wheat has been in particularly short supply in Saskatchewan in 2012-13 because of good harvest conditions last fall that resulted in a good quality crop and strong competition from lucrative export markets.

Faced with paying $7.40 per bushel for wheat, Terra has resorted to buying imported corn from the U.S. and Manitoba. Corn now comprises 15 to 20 percent of the feedstock used by the wheat ethanol plant.

CROP PESTS | WILD OATS

New study confirms wild oats worst weed in the West

BY MARY MACARTHUR WESTERN PRODUCER

The Oscar for the worst weed in Western Canada goes to — wild oats.

Farmers have always known the prolific weed was a yield reducer, but now scientists have ranked it the top weed problem in Western Canada.

“Wild oat is the most serious annual weed of field crops in Western Canada, costing growers millions of dollars annually in lost yield,” wrote John O’Donovan, Neil Harker, Kelly Turkington and George Clayton.

“In addition, herbicide costs amount to $500 million annually.”

In article in the latest issue of Weed Science, the scientists say wild oats costs millions in herbicides and is now growing more resistant to herbicide.

“Herbicides have traditionally been an effective way to control wild oats and reduce the amount of seed building up in the soil, but the extensive use of herbicides has resulted in more than 20 percent of crop land in Western Canada now having wild oat biotypes that are resistant to one or more herbicide groups,” the article reads.

The authors, who are weed scien-

tists at Agriculture Canada’s research centres in Lacombe, Alta., and Lethbridge, said their study at four locations over four years showed that combining good cultural practices with herbicide can control the proliferation of wild oat seed and boost crop yields.

“The results of this and other studies clearly indicate that growers can adopt cultural practices that have the potential to make this goal a reality,” they wrote.

Integrated weed management has become an important factor in controlling wild oats in the field. It uses a combination of farming techniques,

rather than one single solution, to find the best weed control and maximum yields.

The study compared several practices, including fields continually grown in barley versus fields rotated with barley, canola and peas; normal seeding rates compared with twice the normal seeding rates; semidwarf cultivars of barley compared to semidwarf cultivars mixed with tall varieties; and herbicides applied at 25, 50 and 100 percent of the recommended rates.

In the final year of the study, researchers found that the diverse crop rotation combined with higher seeding rates resulted in higher bar-

ley yields and reduced wild oat plants compared to continuous barley and lower barley seeding rates.

The combination of integrated strategies helped boost yields and reduce the amount of weed seeds in the soil.

Wild oat seed numbers fell 40 fold when optimal cultural practices were used in combination with the recommended rate of herbicide.

“The results indicate that combining optimal cultural practices with herbicides will reduce the amount of wild oat seed in the soil seed bank and result in higher barley yields,” the scientists wrote.

CANADIAN PLANT TECHNOLOGY AGENCY | GRAIN

Seed sellers warned about Faller wheat Possible legal action | The unregistered variety is being sold as common seed in Manitoba

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The Canadian Plant Technology Agency has issued a stern warning to prairie farmers growing Faller wheat and those who are selling it as common seed: cease and desist or face the legal consequences.

“CPTA regards this situation as very important,” said executive director Lorne Hadley.

“Seed sellers and growers are advised to steer clear of possible legal action by avoiding the purchase of common Faller wheat seed.”

Faller is an unregistered milling wheat variety that was developed by breeders at North Dakota State University.

It is well adapted to growing conditions in southern Manitoba and performed well in the province last year.

According to Manitoba Agricultural Services Corp. data, almost 13,000 acres of Faller were reported grown in the province last year, producing an average yield of 66 bushels per acre.

Hadley thinks actual acreage, including unreported production, could be much higher.

Significant volumes of the variety are being sold in Manitoba as common seed.

At least one person has been fined and ordered to stop selling the variety.

Hadley declined to identify the individual. He also declined to share details on the size of the fine or the amount of seed sold. “ The person in question had accessed some out of the U.S. and had a fairly decent sized program selling common seed,” Hadley said.

“Our belief is that farmers think that … it’s OK to buy it and plant it and sell that production back into the U.S. But in reality, it could be a problem.”

Faller is not yet registered in Canada, meaning it cannot legally be sold in Canada as seed or milling wheat.

Any Faller produced in Canada must be sold as feed wheat, but it is likely that some of the variety grown in Manitoba is being sold into milling wheat markets.

Based on MASC numbers, close to 850,000 bushels of Faller were harvested in the province last year.

Unreported acres could easily push that number over a million bu.

It is believed that some of that production was trucked back across the U.S border and sold as high quality milling wheat.

It is also possible the grain was marketed in Canada without a proper varietal declaration.

Faller has slightly lower protein content than most CWRS varieties but exceptional milling qualities and good protein functionality.

In head-to-head yield compari-

sons, it yielded 15 to 20 percent higher than most of the CWRS varieties widely grown in southern Manitoba.

Seed Depot in Pilot Mound, Man., has acquired Canadian distribution rights for the variety and is taking steps to have it registered in Canada.

However, the process is expected to take at least two years.

In the meantime, Seed Depot has received approval from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency to have the variety produced in a closed-loop system.

Production contracts are available through Richardson International and Parrish & Heimbecker.

John Smith, chief executive officer with Seed Depot, said the variety’s yield potential and good milling profile make it an attractive option for farmers.

“In Manitoba last year, there was almost 13,000 acres of reported Faller grown under crop insurance and basically no certified seed or pedigreed seed had ever been sold in the province, so it was all grown from common Faller smuggled in from the U.S.,” he said.

“Basically, the variety was so much in demand that to try to keep it out was like trying to keep water from running downhill.”

Seed Depot and NDSU are collaborating with the CPTA to monitor sales and production of Faller.

They also remind growers and seed dealers that selling common wheat seed from an unregistered variety is a violation of Canada’s Seeds Act. NDSU’s research foundation has also indicated that it intends to enforce its rights on unauthorized Faller produced in Canada.

In other words, farmers who produce Faller and attempt to sell it in the United States must prove that they have paid a royalty or bought certified seed.

Failure to do so could result in lawsuits seeking compensation for commercial damages as well as legal and investigative costs, the foundation said.

Smith’s advice to Manitoba growers who want to grow the variety is to sign a contract with Richardson or P & H and sell their production in a closed loop program.

“You really can’t blame farmers … for doing what they did but what we’re saying is there’s now a legitimate way to participate in the variety,” Smith said.

“CFIA has given us permission to work with a few companies doing IP production prior to registration and they are fairly sizable programs that are selling certified seed to meet those needs. Going forward, we anticipate there will be good opportunities to (grow)… the variety without going the common seed route.”

Army cutworm damage will force the reseeding of several crops in southern Alberta this spring.

Farmers are advised to scout their fields for the pest.

Alberta Agriculture insect management specialist Scott Meers said May 9 that the problem is centred around Coaldale, with problems also reported in the Taber and Lethbridge regions.

“There’s been some spraying and there’s been some damage, severe enough damage that some of the fields will be reseeded,” said Meers.

“It’s a different species this year.

Last year in southern Alberta, it was mostly redback. This year it looks like army cutworm. The beauty of entomology is it’s never the same year to year.”

Winter wheat, winter triticale and alfalfa that was seeded late last summer or fall appear to be the most vulnerable.

Meers said the common denominator is fields that had lots of green growth in the fall. He’s seen 10 quarter sections that have cutworms at threshold levels for spraying, “but that’s usually the tip of the iceberg.”

Cutworm activity is characterized by patches of the crop that aren’t greening up as well as they should.

Finding the pests before that stage requires closer investigation for missing plants or bits of dried plant matter lying on the surface.

Jack Feenstra of Chinook Crop Care Ltd. said he has inspected 30 to 40 fields between Coaldale and Carmangay and only two were severe enough to warrant spraying.

“Its extremely variable. Farmers need to check their fields and not just go out and spray it just because the neighbour had them,” said Feenstra.

“There will be patches in the field that are failing to green up in your alfalfa or winter wheat. If your field just stays a miserable pale yellow, the cutworms are grazing off all the green foliage, and you keep on seeing the ugly old stubble from last year.”

He said there has also been winterkill in alfalfa this year, so farmers should investigate before making insecticide decisions.

Meers said cutwor ms w ill be munching on crops for two to three more weeks before they pupate and become moths.

“The bigger they get, the hungrier they get because they are fattening up for their next life stage. Their feeding gets more intense.”

There is only one generation of cutworms per year. Natural enemies include species of parasitic wasps.

Economic thresholds for spraying depend on the crop. Five cutworms per sq. metre can destroy a mustard field but cereals and alfalfa can withstand levels up to 50 per sq. metre.

Meers said effective insecticides are available should infestation warrant. The Alberta Crop Protection Guide lists the options.

Russian farmers continue to struggle with drought

Corn forecast high, says broker Cattle feed | Analyst says demand from livestock sector will fall well below USDA’s projection

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Corn markets are focused on the wrong thing, says a grain analyst.

Most of the chatter surrounding the May 10 edition of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates was about the burdensome supply of corn forecast for 2013-14.

“I’ve already read a bunch of newsletters that are already talking about the yield number and they’re totally disregarding demand,” said Dustin Johnson, a broker and analyst with EHedger.

The USDA is forecasting a 16 percent rebound in demand for U.S. corn to a near-record 12.92 billion bushels, up from an estimated 11.14 billion bu. in 2012-13.

Johnson thinks that is far too optimistic. The 2012-13 crop year is the 13th time since 1960 when corn use dropped by more than five percent below the trend line.

Only twice in the previous 12 cases did use increase the following year; the other 10 times it dropped even further.

The trend line calls for 12.22 billion bu. of use in the coming crop year.

Johnson thinks it could end up

higher than that because of the forecast for a record 14.14 billion bu. corn crop and total supply of 14.92 billion bu., but he doesn’t think it will be anywhere near the USDA’s demand number.

He is forecasting 12.35 billion bu. of total corn demand, which is a sizable 570 million bu. below the USDA’s estimate.

“We like the (USDA’s) ethanol number a lot. It’s the feed number that surprised us a little bit,” said Johnson.

He sees 4.65 billion bu. of demand from the livestock sector, which is well below the USDA’s 5.33 billion bu. forecast.

“We don’t see feed increasing that substantially given the low livestock numbers,” said Johnson.

There were five percent fewer cattle and calves on feed in the United States as of April 1 compared to a year earlier.

Johnson said export and ethanol

demand can rebound quickly, but feed demand will be slow to turn around.

It takes a long time to rebuild the national herd because the average gestation period for a cow is 283 days.

His corn production estimate is 14.11 billion bu., which is below the USDA’s forecast of 14.14 billion bu.

The department’s number is based on an average yield of 158 bu. per acre, which is down from its February estimate of 164 bu.

Johnson forecasts 2.577 billion bu. of corn carr yout, which he believes will drive corn prices well below last week’s new crop price of $5.30 per bu.

“I think $4.50 is an adequate target,” he said.

“We really have to drop yield below 150 (bu. per acre) for us to be really bullish again.”

The USDA forecasts two billion bu.

of carryout and an average corn price of $4.30 to $5.10 per bu.

Johnson said wheat has had an unusual relationship to corn the past couple of years, with a lot of wheat being substituted for corn in feed markets. Feed wheat has been priced below corn at times this crop year, which is rare.

The livestock industry is forecast to buy 360 million bu. of wheat in 201213. The USDA expects that to drop to 290 million bu. next year.

Johnson thinks it could fall even further to 225 million bu. because of fewer animals on feed and hefty corn supplies.

“Wheat is kind of going back to a food product when it had been much more substantially a feed product for a full year in the U.S.,” said Johnson.

“Wheat is probably going to go back to, I’d say, a $1 premium over corn — the traditional relationship.”

5.33 billion bu.

THE USDA’S PROJECTED DEMAND FOR CORN FEED

While North American farmers hope for dry weather to seed their crops, Russian farmers are scared to seed without more moisture.

For the fourth year in a row, weather problems in Russia may support global crop prices.

“They’re running out of time,” said Drew Lerner of World Weather Inc. “They haven’t got enough (moisture) to carry them through.”

Parts of Russia’s spring wheat, corn and sunseed growing area are suffering from drought again. Topsoil is dry and little subsoil moisture remains after years of dryness.

Lerner said Russia has a similar seeding season to Western Canada’s, with farmers anxious to get the spring wheat crop in before June 1.

Corn and sunflowers are sometimes seeded later, but a few days into June is the latest Russian farmers want to push those crops.

The strong crop prices that have been the norm since 2007-08 are partly attributable to the general commodity bull market and partly to growing demand from developing countries, such as China.

But another important factor has been crop problems, such as the droughts that have hit Russia since 2010.

Production shortfalls caused the Russian government, fearful of food shortages, to halt to exports in 2010.

The Russian situation is beginning to dominate many analysts’ thinking, replacing the Midwest dryness as the main concern.

Lerner said this switch in focus makes sense, considering the underlying problems in Russia.

“They have never really fully recovered,” he said.

“They are probably in worse shape than they have been for a couple of years . . . It’s gotten to be terribly, terribly dry.”

He said the situation is not irreparable yet, but the next three weeks will be crucial.

Australia is also worrying markets, with dryness afflicting western and eastern growing regions, although showers are expected in the east this week.

Both regions are dry at a time when farmers should be starting to seed winter canola and wheat. However, Lerner said Australian farmers still have lots of time to sowed their crops.

Good yields are possible even with seeding in June and July.

For Russian farmers, crucial days are ahead and they are hoping another disaster does not set them back.

“The Russian situation is flaring up again.”

AMERICAN REPORT | CROP ESTIMATES

Record world crops could push prices down Rising competition | CWB official says growers should consider 2013-14 future contracts

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Two numbers jumped out at Neil Townsend among the thousands contained in the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s latest World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report.

He was struck by the 2013-14 world corn production forecast of 966 million tonnes and world wheat production of 701 million tonnes.

“Those are big numbers and they are very, very negative towards prices,” said the director of CWB Market Research.

The projected corn crop would shatter the previous record by 83 million tonnes. The wheat crop would also be a record.

Townsend said farmers have a tendency to disregard such bearish outlooks, but this is one occasion where they should put some faith in the forecast.

“These numbers are highly, highly possible, particularly the corn one,” he said.

Townsend said the probability of the world corn crop exceeding 900 million tonnes is “close to 100 percent.” The previous high was 883 million tonnes two years ago.

“I’ve been saying all spring that 2013-14 futures offer great value and that (growers) should be hedging. I’d probably still say that today,” he said.

“I think there’s still opportunities to price right now (to avoid further price drops).”

Corn production is expected to rise in many key exporting regions of the world. The biggest rebound will be in the United States, where growers are expected to har vest 85 million tonnes more corn than last year.

Wheat production is predicted to drop slightly in the U.S. but rise in

Argentina, Australia, Canada, the European Union, Russia, Kazakhstan and Ukraine.

“That’s seven of the eight major exporters they’re forecasting more wheat for and about (59) million more tonnes,” said Townsend.

“That wheat has got to go somewhere. It goes out into the world market, and that’s what really, truly devastates the world price.”

He said Canadian farmers focus too much on their own backyard, looking at the North American wheat supply outlook for pricing guidance.

The reality is that Canada relies heavily on servicing markets all around the globe and there is going to be plenty of competition for those sales this year, he added.

“What the USDA did today was show a pretty scary global wheat situation,” he said.

Townsend said most wheat is “margin sold,” which means grain companies don’t care what the price is as long as they are moving the commodity through their facilities and making a certain margin per tonne.

A lot of farmers around the world don’t have the same level of grain storage as Canadian growers, so they will be in a hurry to move their crop, which means lower prices.

Even the mighty oilseed complex could be in trouble. The USDA forecasts a record world soybean crop of 285.5 million tonnes and a 12.5 million tonne increase in 2013-14 ending stocks, which would be the first time in four years stocks would build by that magnitude.

“It’s more of a mood thing,” said Townsend.

“It’s like flipping a switch, where suddenly we’re not tight, and that should be a little worrisome for canola and soybean producers in Western Canada.”

Clear divide among analysts on future of crop markets Bull or bear | Observers interpret drought, seeding response differently

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Are crop markets going another dollar a bushel down, as some analysts say? Or is the next bull market just a few weeks away from occurring?

Analysts say it’s a matter of how psychology and weather combine, and psychology might be the bigger factor.

“There really isn’t much middle ground any more,” said Mike Krueger of the Money Farm in Fargo, North Dakota.

“You’re either all in or all out. It’s $4 corn or it’s $7 corn.”

Varying assessments about the impact of last year’s U.S. Midwest drought and this year’s late seeding are pushing the market in opposite directions.

Bearish analysts believe the only thing propping up grain prices from falling further is the problem with late seeding in the U.S. “We see roughly a dollar lower from here,” Rich Nelson of Allendale, Inc. said about the outlook for corn and soybeans. Wheat is fairly priced and should be stable, he believes.

B e a r i s h a na l y s t s t e n d t o s e e December corn futures prices dropping $1 per bushel, with soybeans dropping $1 to $1.50. Some also think wheat will follow corn.

Farmers might see today’s new crop prices as depressed compared to what they saw last summer and fall.

However, recent rain has recharged soil moisture across much of the Midwest and alleviated problems in the Plains states, setting the stage for better production.

The bears say prices would be lower if the crop was being seeded at a normal pace. However, it is well behind ideal seeding progress in most of the Midwest and Plains, although not in

the danger zone yet.

That anxiety now supporting prices will evaporate and prices will sell off if farmers seed the crop before critical windows close.

The supply tightness that has supported high crop prices disappears if this year’s crops come in with trend line yields, and the market will start reflecting that reality as the crop matures.

However, bullish analysts such as Krueger think the market has sold off too much and should be near its bottom.

“I don’t think there’s that much downside risk, but (bearishness) is the general attitude of the market,” said Krueger.

“They think the only reason we haven’t crashed further, faster, is that we’re late.”

Krueger said market psychology is overwhelmingly bearish, with many market players assuming last year’s drought damage has been undone and that drought won’t recur.

However, he said snow and spring ra i n hav e n o t b e e n e n o u g h t o recharge soils in the Midwest, and the western Plains are still dry with little subsoil moisture.

Unless the Plains and Midwest receive steady rain through the season, the dryness lurking in the subsoil will begin to hurt crop yields.

Traders, commercial users and investors might then realize that all the problems of last year have not passed.

However, dry subsoil is not on traders minds now.

“I think the drought talk is out of everybody’s minds until mid-June at least,” said Krueger.

“It’s hard for people to talk about a drought when people are worried about getting a crop planted because it’s raining.”

However, analysts say a wild card

will be the role of speculative money from hedge funds and other outside investors. Speculative money tends to flow in and add to the upside momentum as crop prices increase.

As crop prices fall, the speculative money tends to clear out and increase the downward momentum.

The funds now have a smaller position than during the rally, after months of selling off. Analysts say that the big speculative funds could have a big impact on what happens once seeding is complete.

The question is, will it come back in and buy crop futures or continue to sit on the sidelines.

Shipping costs decline aids Canadian grain sales Freight disadvantage reduced | A decline in shipping costs is making the Canadian grain industry more competitive

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Canadian grain is more competitive in overseas markets because of a shrinking ocean freight disadvantage.

The cost of shipping a tonne of grain from the Pacific Northwest to Japan was $24.50 as of April 26, down 20 percent from the same time last year.

That is dramatically lower than the $90 per tonne shippers were paying during the peak of the market in 2008 before the global economic meltdown.

Canada is at a significant freight disadvantage to most grain exporters because it takes more days at sea to reach many of the markets where Canadian grain, oilseeds and pulses are sold.

For instance, it is a lot cheaper to ship wheat from Australia to Indonesia or durum from France to North Africa than it is to transport them from Western Canada.

“When (freight) markets are low, the freight disadvantage narrows, which is positive. It makes Canadian grain more competitive,” said David Przednowek, CWB’s manager of ocean freight.

The good news is he expects rates to remain depressed for a while yet.

“The market is going to trade in a pretty much sideways channel here over the next year or two,” said Przednowek.

New ships that were ordered during the economic boom leading up to the 2008 crash are still hitting the market.

The new cargo-hauling tonnage hitting the high seas every year easily outstrips the demand for seaborne

The cost of shipping a tonne of grain to Japan has declined 20 percent over the last year. | trade that has been growing by three to five percent per year.

The dry bulk fleet grew by 70 million deadweight tonnes (mdwt) last year, according to a Grain Transportation Report published by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

The fleet is expected to expand another six percent in 2013. An estimated 127 mdwt of new dry bulk capacity is scheduled for delivery between now and 2016, or 18 percent of the existing fleet, according to the USDA. Grain mainly moves in Handysize, Handymax and Panamax vessels.

More than 1,000 of those types of ships will be added to the world’s

fleet over the next three years, which is a lot of new grain hauling capacity.

Przednowek said farmers shouldn’t expect rates to fall much further than they are now because ship owners are approaching the break-even point at today’s rates. Any further depreciation and they will start scrapping existing tonnage.

Only one factor could drive rates lower. Freight rates comprise the cost of leasing a ship plus the cost of fuel.

The average Panamax ship burns 32 tonnes of bunker fuel a day when steaming.

“That’s a fuel bill of $19,200 per day for that ship,” said Przednowek.

Freight rates could drop even fur-

ther if the cost of crude oil falls.

Lower rates also mean reduced demurrage bills for the grain industry when loading is delayed.

Przednowek said a typical demurrage bill today is $9,000 to $10,000 per day compared to $80,000 per day during the peak of the market in the summer of 2008.

“Do that math on a month delay. It’s wild,” he said.

The total bill for sitting in port for a month has been reduced to about $300,000 compared to $2.4 million in 2008.

“It certainly has an impact in terms of overall demurrage costs and the type of protection that you might have

to build into a trade to cover yourself on demurrage,” said Przednowek.

However, environmental concerns are forcing ships to burn cleaner fuel while in port.

Bunker fuel is only one step above asphalt in terms of environmental pollutants.

“It’s pretty dirty,” said Przednowek.

A typical vessel consumes one to two tonnes of fuel per day while anchored at port keeping its generators running.

The cost of the fuel they burn while at port will more than double when ships are forced to burn the cleaner, more expensive fuel, which in turn will increase demurrage costs.

Brazil has major grain transportation hurdles to overcome

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

It’s a long way from southern Brazil to Western Canada.

But it was a lot easier for farmer representative Hamilton Guterres Jardim and a group of Brazilian government officials to travel to Winnipeg than it would have been for them to ship their own wheat to northern parts of their own country.

In fact, Canada has an easier time getting wheat there than they do.

“The roads are not fit and the railways are practically non-existent,” Jardim said in an interview during a course at the Canadian International Grains Institute.

“For us to place our wheat in the north, north-east, with Brazilian flagged ships (that are) old, obsolete, with a high transportation cost, it is more viable to bring wheat from the U.S. with modern vessels.”

Jardim said Brazilian crop production is increasing but roads and railways are poor from central Mato Grosso state to southern ports. The problem is frustrating Brazilian farmers, including those in his state of Rio Grande do Sul.

Jardim is head of both his state’s farmer-controlled wheat commission and a company offering technical service to farmers.

Brazil is a vast country, much like Canada and more so like the United States. Distances between production and consuming regions are significant, and radically different crops and economic realities dominate the various regions.

Jardim’s state in southern Brazil is similar to the northern U.S. Midwest with its ability to grow wheat and vulnerability to frosts. A spring frost damaged its wheat crop last September, which reduced production by one-third.

Rio Grande do Sul and Parana states produce four million tonnes of wheat per year but fall far short of the 10.5 million tonnes that the nation’s consumers require.

Wheat exporting powerhouse Argentina is right across the border from southern Brazil, but Jardim said his country’s millers are becoming less interested in their neighbour’s wheat because its quality standards are declining.

Jardim said export taxes and other disincentives imposed on Argentina’s farmers have prompted many of the

He said Canadian wheat is attractive to millers who need to improve their bread quality. It works well in a blend, which is how it can occasionally reach the southern Brazilian market.

However, millers and consumers in northern and northeastern Brazil

often buy wheat from North America because it is the closest market to them, at least in logistical terms.

The wheat-growing regions are far away to the southwest, and there is almost no infrastructure to ship crops north by road or rail.

As well, shipping crops out of southern Brazil by sea has become difficult as soybeans from Mato Grosso swamp the loading ability of

southern ports such as Paranagua.

There are plans to build a railway from the south to central Mato Grosso, and one from there to the north, but those plans, along with proposals to improve the national highway system, are stalled.

“The (railway) project is going at a turtle’s pace with lots of corruption, and it’s not moving,” said Jardim.

“Brazilian logistics need to be improved a lot and in a short period of time because Brazilian production is growing, but the infrastructure is not following the pace.”

Jardim said he was surprised to learn how common on-farm storage is on the Prairies. His state’s farmers immediately haul their crops to local co-operative grain companies at harvest time.

He also said he was impressed by the work the Canadian Grain Commission and CIGI do with farmers, foreign customers and the grain industry to keep the Canadian grain trade working well.

“This is a very healthy practice,” said Jardim.

He hopes to take ideas back to Brazil so that it can form its own version of the Canadian organizations.

Record crop forecast haunts market

Bad winter delays European harvest

MARKET WATCH

D’ARCE McMILLAN

M

arkets generally viewed the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s May 10 report predicting record large world wheat, corn, rice and oilseed production this year as price depressing.

But they did not trigger limit down moves on futures markets like the U.S. stocks report did March 28.

It was encouraging that prices were bouncing back early this week as traders returned their attention to the slow pace of seeding in the U.S. and Canada.

As the stories in this week’s Markets section show, there continues to be strongly divergent attitudes about crop production, demand and prices.

There are potential production problems in Russia, Australia and North America, but for now, they are only potential.

For now, the USDA, which is the most influential crop forecaster, expects a record corn crop in the U.S. and big production increases in the European Union, South America, Ukraine and the former Soviet Union.

Year end 2013-14 U.S. stocks are forecast to rise to two billion bushels, almost triple the amount at the end of 2012-13.

The USDA sees global corn ending stocks climbing to 154.63 million tonnes, up 23 percent from 2012-13 and the most since the end of 2000-01.

The USDA forecasts 2013-14 world wheat production will rise 45 million tonnes, or 8.3 percent, to 710.1 million tonnes. Year-end stocks would grow 3.4 percent to 186.38 million tonnes.

Rice production is forecast to rise nine million tonnes to 479.26 million and year-end stocks to climb 2.2 percent to 107.84 million.

Global soybean production is expected to climb 16.4 million tonnes to 285.5 million and ending stocks to climb 20 percent to 74.96 million tonnes.

The May 10 report, with all its talk of record production and stocks, reinforced an idea that has dominated grain markets for most of 2013: this is the year when, finally, farmers are likely to catch up to demand and rebuild a little cushion in stocks.

Let’s recap the production problems that in the last few years have kept global grain stocks tight and prices strong despite a global economic slowdown.

Australia suffered severe droughts in 2006 and 2007.

Europe, Canada, the United States and North Africa all had below average crops in 2007.

Drought hit Argentina and Brazil in 2008.

In 2010, severe drought hit the former Soviet Union, causing major production decreases. Flooding trimmed Canadian production.

In 2011, drought hit South America, knocking down corn and soybean

production in Argentina and Brazil.

A summer heat wave in the U.S. Midwest knocked back corn yields.

In 2012, drought and winter damage again shrank crops in the former Soviet Union. The worst drought in decades hammered U.S. Midwest crops.

These production problems were happening at the same time as the rapid rise in the amount of grain going into biofuel.

After that string of bad luck, perhaps we are due for a year without a major disaster.

It can happen. There was a string of years in the early 2000s when global production exceeded demand, allowing year-end stocks to become a price-depressing burden.

South America is harvesting a record crop right now.

The Pacific Ocean has neither an El Nino nor a La Nina trend. The early forecast for India’s monsoon is for average rainfall.

A wet spring is pushing back the drought in the U.S. Midwest and eastern Plains, although the rain has not yet fully recharged the subsoil moisture levels.

Seeding is late in Canada and the U.S., but the crop will eventually be seeded.

As always, June and July weather will make or break crops in the Northern Hemisphere.

Right now, bigger production and lower crop prices are in the cards.

But who knows what hand Mother Nature will deal to us next?

Many crops two weeks late | Long winter delaying crops in France, Germany and Britain HAMBURG, Germany (Reuters) — Recent warm weather has helped European wheat crops catch up after a cold spring, but a late harvest is still expected.

Many crops are two weeks late.

“Better weather in the past four weeks has improved the picture with wheat in the west EU, but the wheat supply balance is tight because of old low European stocks, and the EU will face problems if there is a small crop this year,” said Claus Keller, grains specialist with German commodity analysts F.O. Licht.

“Concern remains in some areas such as about the British crop.”

Exceptionally cold weather and frosts up to early April sparked concerns that wheat growth could be seriously delayed.

“Generally, wheat plants are about two weeks behind normal growth in much of north Europe against up to three weeks a month ago,” one trader said.

The two week delay could make for a squeeze this summer as millers and feedlots await the harvest.

In France, the European Union’s largest wheat producer, wheat crops are still about two weeks b e h i n d n o r m a l g ro w t h i n k e y northern grain belts despite recent

warmer weather.

“We are heading towards a late harvest with yield potential that is not at its maximum,” said Jean-Paul Bordes of French crop institute Arvalis.

Wheat in southern France is developing at a normal pace, which should allow the usual flow of early season exports.

It is a similar situation in the EU’s second largest wheat producer, Germany.

“We are no longer facing very serious problems, but a delayed harvest start is still on the horizon,” one German analyst said.

Sunny, dry weather has helped wheat in Britain, the third largest producer, but the harvest this summer is still expected to be significantly below normal.

Jack Watts, senior analyst with the Home-Grown Cereals Authority, said it would take near-perfect conditions to achieve even average crop yields in Britain. There were significant delays to British wheat plantings and almost continually wet soil over winter.

“It is an improving picture but still below average,” Watts said.

Britain had its second wettest year on record last year.

cent lower than the five-year average.

The increase over last year was a bit surprising, but April had two more business days than last year, so placements per day were up only 11.5 percent.

Also, poor feeder markets this spring caused some backgrounders to hold feeders longer for better prices, but they finally had to make a move in April.

Placements are still more than five percent below last year through the first four months of the year.

Marketings in coming months will generally be tight, but a lot of calves were placed in November last year and they have yet to go to market.

CANFAX REPORT FED CATTLE MOSTLY STEADY The Canfax average fed steer price was $119.41 per hundredweight last week, down 22 cents, and heifers were $118.37, up 13 cents.

Weighted average steer values rarely exceed $119 per cwt.

Prices were fairly steady despite lower U.S. fed values, more cattle on offer and lower Chicago cattle futures.

Supply and demand factors supported the cash market, causing it to outpace the futures market and leading to historically strong basis levels.

Western Canadian fed slaughter volumes have been below year ago levels in recent weeks, preventing a buildup of beef supplies.

Warmer weather has improved beef demand, and processors have been able to pass on higher beef prices to short-bought retailers.

Dressed trade was at $200-$201 per cwt. delivered.

Weekly sales volumes rose 31 percent to 16,483 head, and feedlots are now current in their marketing.

The Alberta fed cash futures basis strengthened $2.68 to close at -$1.26, the strongest since May 2011.

Weekly fed exports to April 27 fell 23 percent to 9,675 head.

Prices might be pressured lower as more calves hit the market in June.

COW PRICES RISE Supplies were adequate but D1, D2 slaughter cows were able to rise to $74-$85 to average $78.86, up $1.42 per cwt. D3s ranged $65-$75 to average $69.94, up almost $1.

Dressed cow prices ranged $151$156 delivered, up $2.

Butcher bull prices rose $1 to average $89.05.

Weekly western Canadian non-fed slaughter to May 4 rose 29 percent to 7,528 head.

Poor profitability and lingering drought continue to bring large numbers of U.S. beef and dairy cows to market.

Weekly Canadian non-fed exports to the United States to April 27 fell four percent to 6,995.

FEEDER STEERS RISE Average feeder steer prices rose 40 cents per cwt. last week.

Steers rose but heifers generally

saw weaker demand and prices averaged 81 cents lower.

Stocker steers 300-400 pounds rallied more than $2.25.

Steers heavier than 400 lb. were steady.

Feeder heifers 400-600 lb. fell $1.75, while those heavier than 900 lb. slipped $1.38.

Auction volumes rose two percent to 31,000 head and were up 51 percent over the same week last year.

STATISTICS CANADA | LONG-FORM CENSUS

CRAIG’S VIEW

Gutted national census data doesn’t tell the whole story

K

nowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.

These profound words were credited to Greek philosopher Aristotle.

The statement is true for countries as well as individuals. For decades the national census, produced every five years, allowed Canadians to know themselves.

It gave an objective snapshot of who we really are as Canadians, not how we think we are or how we might like to be or how politicians tell us we are.

Census information helped policymakers design services and programs to meet citizen needs. Businesses, nongovernment agencies and academics also used the data to better understand the changing nature of the population.

However, in 2010 the Conservative government ended the mandatory long form census, giving a nod to citizens’ desire for privacy even though few had asked for it.

It was replaced with the voluntary National Household Survey (NHS), which accompanied the mandatory short form census.

One-third of Canadian households received the NHS in 2011, and of those, about 69 percent completed it fully.

The first results were released last week and they reveal interesting things about us.

Canadians are becoming more diverse as immigrants from every corner of the world come to our shores looking for a better life. Our religious diversity is also expanding with the majority still Christian but a growing number practicing the world’s other great religions and also more counting themselves as without religion.

Statistics Canada will release more NHS information in coming months, filling in the image of Canadians. However, it will be an incomplete picture.

Want to know about the changing population of the town of Rouleau, Sask., home of the late great TV rural comedy Corner Gas? Sorry, the completion rate of the survey was inadequate to produce useable data.

The same was true for Saskatchewan places from Abernethy to Zenon Park.

Indeed, only 57 percent of Saskatchewan census subdivisions, representing 82 percent of the population, have data that was released, the worst performance of all the provinces.

Alberta and Manitoba had data released for 75 and 71 percent of census subdivisions respectively.

Their results were still below the national rate of 75 percent. The release rate for the 2006 long-form census was far better, at 97 percent.

The data tends to be strong in urban places with larger populations and weaker in small and rural places.

It is troubling that the picture of rural Canada is so incomplete.

As one CBC commentator asked, if you are not counted, do you count?

Many rural people already believe the standard of health, education, transportation and other services they receive from government lags their urban cousins.

Could service delivery deteriorate more if government’s understanding of the rural population becomes clouded due to lack of accurate data?

With the NHS’s data shortcomings illuminated, the government should rethink its stand on a mandatory survey.

Privacy might be a prized concept, but we give it away everyday.

Point of purchase data and customer loyalty programs give mountains of data to retailers about what we buy. In our online lives we leave a trail that businesses follow like bloodhounds. We become an open book as we fashion our Facebook and Twitter accounts.

Governments might also use these nontraditional data sources to determine the needs of the population.

But in the end, that would likely be a less welcome intrusion into our private lives than the national census, which is conducted in full public view and subject to robust legal safeguards on individual privacy.

TRADE | WTO POSITION

Canada’s new war on ‘toxic’ protectionism muddies country’s trade agenda NATIONAL VIEW

BARRY WILSON

P

oliticians appealing for rural votes often drop their g’s when talking to locals: “how’s it goin’ eh?”

Dropping a caveat is less common.

For years, yea decades, Canada has gone to World Trade Organization talks with a “balanced position” — wanting countries that are export targets to lower import tariff barriers

while protecting Canadian import sensitive sectors in dairy, poultry and egg industries with high tariffs.

Ed Fast, Canada’s trade minister, has argued, so far successfully, that every country has sensitive sectors, Canada is no different and they can be protected.

That has been the Canadian caveat, making the country a bit of an outcast among other so-called free traders in the Cairns group of trade liberalizing countries, but fairly mainstream among WTO countries with both export goals and import protections.

The current Conservative government, like Liberal governments before it, has maintained that delicate balance.

So it makes recent comments by trade minister Fast all the more puzzling.

Or maybe he has just dropped the

nuance of Canada’s trade position.

He comes from a British Columbia riding where the chicken industry and supply management are huge economic drivers.

He understands the system, its import vulnerability and the traditional both-sides-of-the-fence Canadian position. He in fact defended both sides of the equation at his first WTO meeting in Geneva a few years ago.

He understands that a key part of Conservative party success in rural Ontario and Quebec that led the party to government in 2006 was its unexpected embrace of protectionist supply management after a decade of opposing protectionism.

Suddenly, unless there is some subtlety not clear to the common eye, trade minister Fast seems to have dropped that traditional Canadian

nuance, the caveat, the Conservative wink to protectionism.

When he issued comments to welcome the election of Robert Azevedo as the next director general of the W TO, Fast was clear in what he thought the job of the new WTO range rider, herding close to 160 member countries, should be: root out protectionism in all its forms and guises.

“Canada calls upon and is prepared to work with, the next director general, to combat the protectionism that remains a toxic threat to the global economic recovery,” he said.

Protectionism is “toxic” to world trade?

So Canada’s WTO enemies will smirk when he goes to the next WTO ministerial meeting in Indonesia in December to argue that he is defending dairy and chicken tariffs that are at

times more than 200 or 300 percent.

Protectionism is toxic?

It may be that the government and trade minister Fast assumed the world understands that Canada does not really believe all tariff protections are toxic if they are defending important trade sensitive sectors.

Or it could be the Conservative trade agenda has moved beyond protectionism.

Certainly the lack of response of Canada’s supply managed sector to the “toxic” comment would suggest it knows better than to take trade minister Fast at face value.

Or maybe it simply believes the annual promises from the government that supply management is safe under its watch are true.

Unless Fast clarifies, it is not all that clear.

Reasons to ratify Canada-EU trade deal

Newsroom welcomes new reporter

BY JOCK FINLAYSON

M

any countries are stepping up efforts to conclude new trade agreements with key commercial partners as forecasters continue to downgrade their nearterm projections for the global economy.

In just the past four months, the United States has announced that it wants to reach a free trade accord with the European Union, Japan has joined the discussions taking place under the rubric of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and work on trade liberalization has accelerated among the members of the Association of Southeast East Asian Nations.

The backdrop for these regional negotiations is both a soft world economy and an ever diminishing prospect of finalizing a major new global trade deal through the longstalled World Trade Organization talks.

The WTO process has essentially broken down, overwhelmed by the complexity of the contemporary multilateral trade agenda and the inherent difficulty of achieving consensus among the more than 150 countries that comprise the organization’s increasingly fractious membership.

Where does Canada fit within this evolving global commercial policy landscape?

Canada is part of the ongoing TPP process, among other pending agreements. However, the most significant trade negotiation in which Canada is currently engaged is that with the EU to establish a new Comprehensive Economic and Trade

Canada has more to gain than lose by reaching a free trade agreement with the European Union. | FILE PHOTO Agreement (CETA).

At a time when parts of Europe are mired in recessionary gloom, one might ask whether developing an agreement with the EU ought to be a priority for Canada. Yet there are several reasons why CETA is a worthwhile goal for Ottawa to pursue.

For one thing, the 27-member EU still ranks as the world’s biggest regional market, with a combined gross domestic product exceeding $17 trillion, compared to $15 trillion for the United States.

It’s also a notably affluent place, being home to many of the world’s richest economies. CETA would give Canadian businesses improved

access to a market of more than 500 million people.

Also, the region is characterized by well-established labour and environmental standards because most EU member states are prosperous and highly developed.

This should ameliorate any concerns that entering into a trade agreement with the EU would exert downward pressure on regulatory standards in Canada.

As well, it’s well understood that Canada needs to diversify its trade and investment relationships and reduce over-reliance on the U.S., which is still the destination of threequarters of Canada’s exports.

Also, the U.S. has started working toward its own bilateral trade agreement with the EU. Canada has spent more than four years in deliberations with the Europeans, and recent reports suggest the two sides are close to the finish line.

It’s crucial that Canada is able to get a deal done with the EU before we are displaced and potentially bypassed by the U.S. As well, CETA is expected to boost Canada’s economy by reducing EU barriers to its exports, fostering more two-way investment and leading to more competitive markets. Some studies estimate that an ambitious trade agreement with the EU would lead to a $12 billion increase in Canada’s GDP, equivalent to $1,000 per Canadian family.

True, there are a number of politically sensitive issues in the CanadaEU talks, including market access for certain agricultural products, the extent to which government procurement will be opened up to suppliers based in the other party, rules governing foreign investment and harmonization of intellectual property standards.

However, while these may be tough nuts to crack, none should be deal killers.

After all, in a strategic sense Canada has more to gain than lose from achieving better access to a market that is approximately 11 times bigger than its own economy.

MANAGEMENT | JUGGLING TASKS

Some of the best business managers are farmers HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

I

t’s easy to feel overwhelmed at seeding time, particularly in a year that’s off to a late start. One week, there’s nothing you can do in the field. The next week, everything should be done right now.

The list of tasks is long. There may be last minute seed cleaning or seed acquisition. Fertilizer may need to be delivered.

There may be granular herbicide to spread. Some fields may need harrowing for residue management, or perhaps fertilizer is banded in advance of seeding. Weed burnoff needs to be accomplished either before seeding or just after.

Which fields are dr y enough?

Where is the weed growth heaviest?

Has anyone caught the latest weather forecast?

There are probably kinks to be ironed out if you’ve bought a new tractor, seeder or sprayer. Just how does the auto steer work on this newto-you implement? What step are we missing to make the seed blockage monitors work?

And amidst all the distractions and challenges, you need to keep the seeder rolling as continuously as possible.

Running longer days to make up for lost time may seem like a great theory, but all the associated tasks still need to be done and people still need to sleep.

Extra labour is available for seeding on many farms, but many of the jobs are specialized.

There may be only one person on the farm who normally runs the sprayer. Or perhaps Grandpa, who still likes to help out, can no longer fill the seeder by himself.

The teenagers in the family are

keen to do more, but are they really ready for the jobs they want to tackle?

How do you find time to properly train new people? And how do you keep all these people fed without wasting valuable time?

Then there are all the curve balls to deal with. It’s too windy to spray for a couple days in a row. A monitor malfunctions and a replacement has to be ordered from the main factory.

The seed you were getting from Company X still isn’t available.

The local fertilizer dealer is having trouble keeping enough sulfur or phosphorus on hand, and you have to wait for the next truck to arrive. The fertilizer you bought last fall at a higher price than what you could buy it for this spring has lumps that are blocking fertilizer tubes.

As days grow long, tempers can grow short. One of the greatest joys in farming can be working with family, but it can also be one of the greatest frustrations.

Being a farmer must look pretty easy from the outside. You just ride up and down the field with hands

free operation. You even have time to play on your smartphone. However, for the people running the show, the skill set required is amazing.

You need to be equipment operator, mechanic, agronomist, negotiator and human resource manager all rolled into one.

On top of that, it helps to have good business relationships with input suppliers, machinery dealerships and your lender.

To p m a n a g e r s p l a y t o t h e i r strengths and know how to compensate for their weaknesses.

Somehow, they can keep on top of all aspects of the operation and calmly resolve issues as they arise. If they feel overwhelmed at times, it doesn’t show.

Farmers come from a multitude of backgrounds and vary widely in sophistication and ability. By any business standard, many have developed an amazing level of management acumen.

EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

JOANNE PAULSON, EDITOR

O

n May 1, managing editor Michael Raine did something I had never seen him do

before.

He danced a little jig in the doorway of my office, a grin splitting his face from ear to ear.

Why was Michael so happy? The same reason I was — and am — although I was seated at the time, and it was hard to jig.

Robin Booker was in the building.

Robin was our most recent journalism school intern from the University of Regina, and spent three months with us last fall. I have seen a lot of interns in my time, and Robin was one of the best.

Now he has graduated, and we are collectively thrilled that he has accepted the position of web reporter and editor at The Western Producer.

I admit that I am inclined to gush (rightly) when talking about the staff here, but believe me when I tell you that Robin is going to be a great addition to the editorial department.

Here is a bit of his history.

R o b i n i s f ro m R o b l i n , Ma n . , although he graduated from high school in Provost, Alta. and started his working life operating heavy equipment in the pipeline industry.

Robindecidedhisfuturelayelsewhere, and he enrolled at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, where he took an honours degree in sociology.

Soon after, he returned to Manitoba to take over family land near Roblin, and is the fourth generation to manage the farm.

Concurrently with farming, Robin was a treatment worker with the Aboriginal Child and Family Service Agency in Manitoba.

But Robin always enjoyed writing, so he decided to shift careers and attend journalism school.

When he joined us for his practicum as part of his degree, he had already logged some real time at the Brandon Sun. Last summer, Robin decided to try something fun and new, and agreed to host a music festival on his farm. I think he is still contemplating turning it into an annual event.

Robin is a kind, mature person who has a lot of skills. He can write a sentence (!), shoot a video, run a work crew, gently counsel families, conduct an interview, tell a story, and seed and harvest a crop. He is also going to make our website much, much better.

Welcome to The Western Producer, Robin.

HOG SECTOR SUSTAINABLE?

Letters should be less than 300 words. Name, address and phone number must be included for verification purposes and only letters accepted for publication will be confirmed with the author.

To the Editor:

Open letters should be avoided; priority will be given to letters written exclusively for the Producer.

Editors reserve the right to reject or edit any letter for clarity, brevity, legality and good taste. Cuts will be indicated by ellipsis (…)

Publication of a letter does not imply endorsement by the Producer.

Re: Man. gov’t fails to recognize benefits of hog industry (WP Editorial April 18).

I disagree. When The NDP became government in 1999, the hog herd numbers were in the vicinity of three million. This expanded and ballooned to over nine million and was recognized as being No. 1 in Canada.

The recognition by government is obvious, for such an increase would not be possible without the government’s support.

Which makes me ask: Where is it written or promised that when a business venture expands to

a state of collapse, taxpayers are on the hook to bail them out? Kicking in more money to help the hog producers might be the easiest solution for now, but should the public keep donating into this huge basket with a very large hole? Has the public purse now become the public trough?

The question needs an answer: is this a sustainable industry?

For the past 14 or more years, amid the anger, frustrations and anxiety of rural residents, the Manitoba hog industry, with the blessings of provincial and municipal governments, has built huge hog-producing factories nearly anywhere that suited them. They were warned that this uncontrolled growth would eventually burst and the truth is that is

exactly what happened. They themselves have been victimized by their gluttony.

About five years ago, the Manitoba Pork Council was busy spending producers’ money on advertising that complained about restrictions and threatening court action to sue the Manitoba government. Today it’s a much different picture.

The hog industry is important and has a future in Manitoba but to succeed, it must change its attitude. It must adhere to environmental considerations and a recognition of dealing with the realities of economics.

There needs to be an acceptance of responsibility.

And most importantly, changes to the factory style of raising hogs are

SOMETHING BIG IN STORE

foremost. Even Manitoba’s agriculture minister, Ron Kostyshyn, has assured us that “morally, the province doesn’t agree with sow stalls.”

John Fefchak, Virden, Man.

BULLYING IN PARLIAMENT To the Editor: Bullying has become a very serious problem. The news media has done a credible job of bringing to our attention the seriousness of the problem.

It is very disturbing to realize that recently two young people in Canada committed suicide because life became unbearable due to bullying by their peers.

Young people are not the only ones suffering due to bullying. Let us consider Michael Chong, who was Harper’s intergovernmental affairs minister in 2006 and stated, “Today in this chamber, members of Parliament cannot ask questions of the government to hold it to account.”

Chong further elaborated, “We as members of Parliament no longer have that fundamental right.”

Under the present leadership, our backbenchers have very little voice or power to speak up on behalf of their constituents and their wants and needs. They often have been warned “toe the line, or else.” Attack ads have been used very extensively to ridicule and vilify their opposition.

This certainly is abuse of power and a form of severe bullying by the man who was elected by the people of Canada to lead us wisely and justly.

I am of the opinion that our prime mister rightly deserves the title Supreme Bully of Canada.

George E. Hickie, Waldron, Sask.

TOO MUCH WHINING To the Editor:

Grain Guard’s new line of 4" wide corrugated grain bins are manufactured using state-of-the-art technology and are available in diameters from 15' to 75' in flat bottom models, as well as 15' to 27' in hopper bottom models.

With an established catalogue of aeration and conditioning equipment, high-quality grain storage bins are yet another solution provided by Grain Guard.

Since 2007, our Research and Development team has been working to improve our Classic Rocket design. Resulting in an innovative, stronger and even more reliable rocket. We are pleased to introduce The Next Generation Rocket.

The revolutionary Retro Rocket is the only do-it-yourself rocket system that allows you to retrofit existing hopper bottom and smooth-walled bins with farm proven Grain Guard aeration. In as little as 45 minutes, a Retro Rocket can be installed in a hopper bottom bin.

I have noticed a large percentage of the letters you print express negative opinions about various factors affecting farming. These factors include high input costs, GMOs, loss of CWB grain marketing monopoly, reduced government spending on agriculture programs and large pesticide advertising budgets.

Perhaps you could lower the number of letters complaining of these topics or inform the writers that optimism decreases the negative effect of all of life’s problems. At the least, this realization will positively impact those close to them. At best, it will improve their health and bottom line.

TAX EVASION To the Editor:

The Next Generation Rocket

1-800-565-2840 www.grainguard.ca

I would like to extend a bouquet to the investigative reporters at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation for exposing the extent of tax avoidance and evasion in Canada. It is my hope that the CBC exposure will result in a public clamour that spurs the Harper government into action.

The very rich should not be allowed to have their way with politicians, and, by extension, the general public.

OPINION If that lost revenue were to be recovered, it would go a long way toward paying for social services and infrastructure, and reducing or eliminating the deficit. Politicians are fond of telling us to “tighten our belts” while they allow the wealthy to use tax havens and loopholes to get away without paying their fair share.

William Dascavich, Edmonton, Alta.

PROPERTY RIGHTS FIRST To the Editor: Re: Lack of investor information raises questions (WP April 11).

We all love beautiful natural landscapes and thriving economic development, but we should love private property rights more. Why? Because private property rights are the only

way to eliminate all human conflict.

I own my body. I own my property.

Keep your hands off and we can be peaceful neighbours and trading partners. Start rabble rousing to socialize away my property rights and we fight.

You are upset about the colossal mall planned south of Saskatoon that, in your opinion, is a waste of money. You love the beautiful landscape there and fear that it will be turned into a bankrupt concrete ghost town. More than this, as editor of a prominent newspaper, you are indirectly soliciting political action to block commercial developments such as this. Respectfully, I say mind your own business and stop starting fights….

The property title will specify whether mineral rights, for example, are included. It also could specify a restriction of rights, for example.

“The owner of this land agrees to

maintain it as a beautiful natural landscape and to not build any large commercial building without the permission of the editor of The Western Producer.”…

And, who knows, maybe if you go to some other pristine area outside Saskatoon and ask property owners to insert this restriction into their titles, they will all happily agree. Then again, they may ask you and your supporters to buy their property first and then put the title restriction on yourself. Then it would be your property and your business to restrict it however you want. No fighting required.

I also question your ability to forecast business success and your shortterm outlook. How is it your business to judge whether the colossal mall will be a commercial success or not?...

You might have said no to Henry Ford and the North American auto

industry. Oops. Fast forward 100 years and we now learn that a shrinking Detroit is returning much of their city back to farmland. The beautiful natural landscape doesn’t disappear forever. It can be restored — with lots of jobs for demolition, scrap dealing and remediation as a nice bonus.

I recommend we each mind our own business, take a long-term view and, most importantly, respect private property rights.

SEEING RED To the Editor: The recent announcement in the Regina Leader-Post (Sask. Energy applies for modest increase), no doubt has many Saskatchewan resi-

dents seeing red (blue?). That, along with SaskPower ’s four percent increase Jan. 1 and SaskTel’s rural residential increase of last year will no doubt have Saskatchewan residents infuriated. But, who should their anger really be directed at?

Brad Wall’s Sask. Party has for years robbed the crowns of up to 100 percent of their profits in order to “balance” their budget.

In order for the crowns to improve, replace and expand their aging infrastructure, they are now forced to borrow money — hence the increases.

The Sask. Party has the audacity to brag about a balanced budget, when in reality what they have done is transfer their incompetent government’s debt onto the crown corporations. Talk about a premier in Devine clothing.

GRIEF | HEALING FAITH

Answering call to the ministry SPIRITUAL VIGNETTES

JOYCE SASSE

F

or more than 60 years I’ve wanted to be a minister. I’ve never been disappointed with that decision.

It started with the death of my brother because of leukemia. Sadness blanketed our family. I wasn’t allowed to attend his funeral because I was “too young.”

Kids grieve, yet even then I believed there was something within the church community that could help to soften our grief. My first commitment, to this day, is to help those facing death find ways to find understanding and comfort — including the children.

Recently, I’ve enjoyed sharing an Old Testament Bible study with a group of 80 and 90 year olds. We’ve been examining the meaning and understanding written into these stories and Psalms. We realize how much spiritual depth has come to us from 3,000 years ago. To this day new insights leap out at us.

Our faith has survived the test of time but is as modern as today. While urbanization and commercialization now dominate so much of our life, faith-filled colleagues around the world work and pray together as they look at how small communities can remain a vital part of society.

As Harvard biologist E. O. Wilson points out, “religion and science are the two most powerful forces in the world today.” Inevitably the evils of bad politics and bad behaviour exist within the church as well as elsewhere, but there is so much more that is good. Not even God expected perfection, but referred to what had been created as “good.”

So the church works with those of other faiths, respects the Creator and the creation and works to enrich community. It reminds us we must celebrate the gifts of God each day.

RESEARCH | CHANGES

Move away from basic research lamented Gov’t moves ‘disappointing’ | Global Institute for Food Security says no one will do basic research if governments bow out

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Roger Beachy, an American crop researcher and executive director of the Saskatoon-based Global Institute for Food Security, shakes his head at what is going on in Ottawa.

Last year, the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada dropped agriculture as one of its core funding sectors.

Last week, minister of state for science and technology Gary Goodyear announced that the focus of the

National Research Council is shifting from basic science to applied science meant to produce commercial products.

The needs of industry will be a key driver.

“I just think that is very disappointing, although I understand the need for priorities,” Beachy said.

“Basic research is the driver of the economy. Canada has a wonderful body of researchers and a history of innovation w ith products like canola.”

He said the current government

focus on short-term research projects and direction from industry about what is needed undermines the basis of basic research that underpins future inventions that produce market products.

The basic research must come first and that traditionally has been a government responsibility because industry has a shorter-term vision, he added.

“If they (government) don’t do it, who will do it?” Beachy said.

“Are you just going to import the genetics from other countries still

doing the research? If you lose the ability for fundamental research, you lose the attractiveness of Canada for innovation and as a place to attract talent.”

He said the government’s trend to back away from basic research carries a risk.

“I hope they can keep their talent pool, their best scientists,” he said. “I think this is short sighted.”

His comments came during a week when Agriculture Canada announced sharp staff cuts in its research, environment and innova-

tion division, leading to union and opposition complaints that it is abandoning science.

B e a c h y s a i d h e w a s l u re d t o Saskatoon to become the first executive director of the GIFS based at the University of Saskatchewan because of Canada’s long history of scientific infrastructure.

He said increasing resources must be put into developing genetics and hybrid varieties that can adapt to the challenges of new diseases, erratic weather and drought brought by climate change.

Original 1915 T. Eaton’s catalogue home

One-of-a-kind auction attracts huge crowd The Pfeifer family’s original 1915 Timothy Eaton’s catalogue home stands as a reminder of the pioneer spirit of hard work and husbandry in which they were raised. It is on their homestead south of Saskatoon where brothers Ken and Vern ran the family farm for decades.

They were brought up with four siblings by their parents who had immigrated from North Dakota in the early 1900s. It has been a Pfeifer farm since, including the depression years of the dirty ‘30s. A great deal of sweat and tears went into the early days of the operation where they raised beef, chicken and pork.

Eventually the farm was passed to Ken and Vern who ran a dairy herd, Hereford cattle and grain farming operation. They kept their equipment and buildings in like-new condition for decades, and when they decided to sell off their equipment it caused quite a stir in the Western Canadian farming community. Unfortunately, Vern passed away in the fall of 2012, but not before he and Ken had chosen Kramer Auctions Ltd. to handle the auction.

The two have been highly respected members of the farming community and were always favourite faces at livestock sales or auctions over the years. “Everyone enjoyed visiting with them, together they were a couple of colourful guys,” said Brendan Kramer of Kramer Auctions Ltd. Ken was on hand to see the rows of equipment sell at the auction, which was held on April 27, 2013. Based out of North Battleford, SK, Kramer Auctions fielded a high volume of calls from across Canada and the US on this auction. “Their entire line of equipment was absolutely in show-room condition. You don’t see that pride of ownership very often,” Kramer said. The Pfeifer auction was host to over 3000 people on auction day.

Whether the vehicles and tractors were bought in the 1960s or two years ago, they were pristine. The equipment was lined up for auction with shining paint, perfect upholstery, mechanically sound and without a dent or scratch.

The dairy equipment still hangs from stalls in the barn, the floor spotless and each cow’s name is painted up above.

“We handle a lot of nice auctions in a year but this was exceptional. Buyers received excellent value for their money.

Auctions like this are few and far between” Kramer said.

Established in 1949, Kramer Auctions Ltd is one of the nation’s leading auction firms and today is recognized as an industry leader. One of the longest-running independent auction firms, Kramer remains 100 per cent family owned and operated. The secret to their success at Kramer Auctions lies in the pride of service. They are large enough to serve the needs of all types of auctions, yet involved enough to offer personal service. They combine modern auction methods with the old-fashioned promise of an honest handshake.

Their staff has grown up around the auction business, and they are trained professionals who know their business, their customers and equipment. Kramer’s have built years of trust and confidence with both buyers and sellers in the farming sector across Western Canada. Kramer Auctions Ltd. handles agricultural and real estate auctions of all sizes. Each sale is handled with the honesty and integrity that has built the successful business of today.

Farmers will soon be able to benefit from a better selection of online weather and agronomic tools.

The WeatherFarm.com network has been bought from CWB through a new partnership between Glacier Media, which owns The Western Producer, and agricultural meteorology firm Weather INnovations Inc. in the form of a new company called Weather INnovations Consulting LP (WIN).

WeatherFarm.com provides near real time local weather conditions for more than 800 locations from Manitoba to British Columbia. The detailed site-specific reports give growers information to help make on-the-fly decisions on operations such as seeding, spraying and harvesting.

WIN president Ian Nichols said the organization will be able to use the WeatherFarm data to provide more precise, localized mapping, monitoring and decision support modelling.

“You find a lot of peculiar little things that are happening that if we just had a little extra monitoring in some of these locations, it would tell us so much more,” he said.

The data collected from WIN’s network of monitoring stations supports an array of weather-based agronomic models, which can warn farmers in advance of the risk of crop diseases such as fusarium and sclerotinia and insects such as wheat midge, and measure factors such as crop heat units, leaf wetness and evapotranspiration.

The additional sites enhance monitoring, said Nichols. “... More density is always better,” he said.

WIN operates several networks of weather and environmental monitoring stations in Canada, which provide data to growers, governments, academic researchers and crop insurance corporations.

It also develops and maintains crop-specific weather advisory websites, including WeatherCentral.ca for grain growers in Ontario, MBpotatoes.ca for Manitoba potato farmers and sites for tomato, grape, tender fruit and sugarbeet growers.

TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE CALM

PRAIRIES | EVACUATIONS

Fires compound problems facing Sask., Alberta communities High winds mean there’s a high risk of fires

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Some southern Saskatchewan residents moved earlier this week from worrying about floods to worrying about fires.

Several communities are still dealing with high water levels because of localized flooding in areas of poor drainage, but the entire southern half of the province was considered at extreme fire risk May 13.

At the same time, fires burning out of control in Alberta forced hundreds from their homes in two counties south and west of Edmonton.

The Lodgepole fire in Brazeau County near Drayton Valley was still burning out of control May 13 and some residents had received onehour evacuation notices.

South of there, in Clearwater County, an immediate evacuation was issued May 12 for the hamlet of Nordegg and surrounding area. Residents were directed to Rocky Mountain House to register.

Much of southern Alberta was under a fire ban, but no provincial bans had yet been issued in Saskatchewan. Local municipalities could issue them if necessary.

Steve Roberts, Saskatchewan’s wildfire management director, said the forecast for winds of 100 km-h put the province at risk for fires that can develop rapidly. Officials in both provinces were keeping an eye on the immediate forecast, which they hoped would bring rain.

“This time of year, fire hazard is primarily driven by fine fuels like grass and high winds,” Roberts said.

“In the northern part of the province, we’re not talking about them burning heavy in the ground and lasting for days, but they’re very quick moving fires, they’re very flashy.”

The north was considered at high risk May 13. The dividing line is the f o re s t f r i n g e a re a f ro m No r t h Battleford through Prince Albert and Hudson Bay. Ten fires were burning along that line, but none were out of control. No communities were threatened and none of the fires was bigger than 250 acres.

There have been 64 fires this year, on par with last year, even as municipalities dealt with high runoff levels.

Patrick Boyle, spokesperson for the Water Security Agency, said southwestern Saskatchewan saw an early, quick runoff with no flooding, which means the area is considerably drier than other parts of the province.

Emergency management commissioner Duane McKay said small fires can quickly become significant prairie fires when temperatures are higher than the relative humidity, as they were for several days.

“We have stationed a wildfire management crew and a hot shot crew down in the Swift Current area and we are supporting any responses down in that particular area,” he said.

His staff is also supporting the seven rural municipalities, one village and seven First Nations still under declared states of emergency from flooding. The RMs include Prince Albert, Corman Park, Humboldt, Rosthern, Fish Creek, Meeting Lake and Great Bend.

Boyle said the Raduga Creek near

Blaine Lake will remain high for several weeks, affecting farmland and rural roads.

McKay said that area, and the Wakaw region, have seen significant road damage, isolating some people and resulting in long detours.

Forty-two people were still out of their homes May 13 and receiving assistance, including a family of three from the RM of Kinistino, two families of three in the town of Aberdeen and one person in the RM of Fish Creek. McKay also said five other people from Fish Creek had selfevacuated.

“It’s clear that basic livestock populations need to decline or stabilize,” report author Laura Reynolds said in an interview.

“I think that’d be the easiest silver bullet if there were one: any policies that encourage decreased concentrations of livestock populations.”

The study looked at nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide and methane emissions from global agriculture production from 1990 to 2010, and cited Food and Agriculture Organization research that found methane makes up half of total agriculture emissions.

Reynold Bergen, science director at the Beef Cattle Research Centre, said Canadian research has found much smaller emissions from livestock.

“If you want to drastically reduce methane production, the quickest way to do it is to get those cattle growing faster so that they’re processed sooner, and Canada has done a lot of things to do that,” he said, referring to improvements in genetics, feed efficiency and forage production that have improved the feed conversion ratio for livestock.

Bergen said cattle that once took as many as five years to finish are now ready to be slaughtered within two years.

“We’re using less feed for every pound of gain, and cattle are growing an awful lot faster. We’re using less acres to grow that feed for the cattle,” he said.

“The cattle are growing faster, so they’re around fewer days producing that methane.”

Reynolds advocates moving away from large feedlots toward smaller grass-fed, intensive rotational grazing and organic operations that can fetch a premium for producers.

“Adding oils or oilseeds to feed can help with digestion and reduce methane emissions, but a shift from a grass-based to a grain- and oilseedsbased diet often accompanies a shift from pastures to concentrated feedlots, which has a range of negative consequences such as water pollution and high fossil fuel consumption,” Reynolds wrote in the report.

“Aside from reducing livestock populations, there is no other clear pathway to climate-friendly meat production from livestock.”

Bergen said industry will continue to examine livestock’s environmental footprint.

“We’ve funded research that has kind of as a byproduct gathered a lot of information on carbon sequestration or methane production or manure production that we have never really taken advantage of,” he said.

“What we’re hoping to do over the next couple of years is start to look back at some of those old results and try to quantify where the beef industry has made improvements, as well as identify opportunities to do better.”

The Worldwatch report also cites FAO numbers that show global agricultural production is growing faster than its emissions.

“I definitely think that it’s a positive that we’ve been able to produce more without raising emissions,” Reynolds said.

Debate about neonicotinoid use in Canada follows a recent two-year ban on the insecticide in the European Union. |

INSECTICIDES | POLICY

Western, Eastern Canada divided on insecticide Neonicotinoid debate | While western industry officials oppose a ban, some in Ontario and Quebec favour a moratorium

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

The divide over whether neonicotinoid insecticides should be banned as a danger to bees is drawn at the Ontario-Manitoba border.

Western beekeepers, who represent the large majority of the Canadian industry, see no problem and oppose the ban.

The products are widely used on canola crops, and bee populations have been increasing.

However, beekeeper associations have called for a ban or moratorium in Ontario and Quebec, where significant bee mortality last year was blamed on neonic application to corn seed.

A recent decision by the European Union to impose a two-year ban on three popular neonic insecticide products has become part of the focus of the Canadian debate.

The regional split was on the table last week at two meetings on the issue by the House of Commons agriculture committee.

Rod Scarlett, Edmonton-based executive director of the Canadian Honey Council, said the council sides with prairie producers, who have more than 75 percent of Canadian bee colonies. They want any insecticide ban to be based on the science of damage, which is not evident on the Prairies.

“To date, the Canadian Honey Council has been supportive of (Canadian and U.S. regulatory agencies) in the re-evaluation of the neonicotinoids and strongly believe that the decisions need to be based on science and not public opinion or perception,” he told MPs. “Of course, one of the difficulties we’re experiencing is that there are different interpretations of science and that certainly muddies the waters for the Canadian Honey Council.”

Grant Hicks, president of the Alberta Beekeepers Commission, said a ban on insecticide is not needed.

“From our experience, that’s not the way we need to go,” he told MPs. “We’re seeing no ill effects.”

Ontario beekeeper Davis Bryans had a different view, arguing that 1,000 of his 3,000 hives were contaminated by the chemical from local corn fields last year.

“We’re asking Ontario to get this product banned,” he said.

There was evidence that neonics spread in Ontario because of dust from corn planters, while prairie canola seeders do not spread dust carrying the pesticide from the seed.

There also was evidence that Ontario’s dramatic bee kill last year resulted from a combination of factors, including an unusually warm spring. A Pest Management Regulatory Agency analysis of the disaster pinpointed the pesticide as part of the problem.

Pierre Petelle, vice-chair of chemistry for CropLife Canada, argued that the European ban is misguided public policy that should not be followed in Canada.

He said last year’s experience in Ontario was unusual because of early warm weather and unusually high winds that blew corn dust around during planting.

“The reality is that neonic-treated corn has been planted in Ontario and elsewhere for the past 10 years without similar incidents,” he told MPs. Petelle also argued that the European decision was wrong-headed and went against evidence from around the world that bees and the pesticide can coexist.

“They have chosen to adopt an approach that represents a misapplication of the precautionary principle,” he said.

“This decision sends a very negative signal to innovative research and development companies that rely on predictable science-based regulatory decisions.”

He said it was “yet another example of politics trumping science in Europe.”

MPs from all parties said during the hearings that they had an open mind on the issue. They noted that neonics are used on the Prairies without significant impact on bee populations, but they also noted the evidence that

pesticides were present in most of the bees that died last year in Ontario.

NDP deputy agriculture critic Ruth Ellen Brosseau from Quebec said demanding decisions based on

“sound science” assumes one right answer, but the Europeans used their own science to decide something else.

“We hear all the time, sound science,” she told Scarlett.

“It seems that science is kind of like the unicorn, this mythical creature. Is it debatable?”

BEES | VOLUNTARY STANDARD

PMRA VIEW | PESTICIDE BAN

CFIA issues new biosecurity standard for beekeeping

Ban may cause more harm than good: PMRA

STORIES BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

A newly issued national biosecurity standard for beekeepers could help the industry deal with bee mortality rates, says a Canadian Honey Council leader.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency issued the new standard of best practices May 8 after three years of work with the provinces and the honey council.

“This is a voluntary standard, and it is a first step,” executive director Rod Scarlett said.

“If beekeepers implemented these recommendations, it certainly would have an impact on bee losses.”

The CFIA’s honey bee biosecurity

list includes standards on sanitation, dead bee disposal and safe handling of inputs.

Scarlett said most commercial bee keeping operations already follow the recommended practices, so the re a l b e n e f i t c o u l d c o m e f ro m improved practices by small-scale hobby beekeepers.

“I really think this will have more of an impact on the hobbyists,” he said.

“It will give them some ideas on better practices. Sometimes problems on the smaller operations can spread to larger.”

He said Canada has 8,000 bee operations, but only 1,000 are commercial-scale.

When agriculture minister Gerry Ritz announced the release of the

manual on bee operation biosecurity best practices, he said that in addition to the value of honey production, plant pollination by bees is worth $2 billion in the Canadian crop sector.

“Protecting bee health is important to safeguarding the bee industry and the Canadian agricultural industries that depend on it,” he said in a statement.

The health of the bee industry and the causes behind last year’s significant mortality rates in the Ontario industry were raised as key topics in House of Commons agriculture committee hearings last week, but Scarlett said there was no connection with the release of the industry standards.

Insecticide use | Regulatory agency continues to oppose ban as it develops best management plans Although the Pest Management Regulatory Agency has concluded neonicotinoid insecticides on corn were a factor in last year’s Ontario bee kill-off, it says a product ban would have dire consequences.

The European Union has banned neonics for two years and beekeepers in Ontario and Quebec have called for a moratorium on their sale, arguing there is proof the chemical is responsible for bee deaths.

Prairie beekeepers responsible for most of the national production have had no problem with chemicalrelated bee kill oppose the idea.

On May 9, PMRA environmental assessment director Scott Kirby told MPs on the House of Commons agriculture committee that it is a complex issue not suited to simple answers.

After complaints of excessive bee mortality from Ontario beekeepers last year, the agency surveyed the damage and 70 percent of dead bees contained neonic products.

“Insecticides used to treat corn seeds are believed to be a significant contributing factor in many of the 2012 bee losses,” he said.

There is no evidence so far this year of a repeat.

The main culprit was corn dust containing the pesticide blowing from planting machines, early warm weather and robust winds during corn planting season, he said.

Kirby said PMRA started to work last year on a program of best management practices for farmers, warnings about the risk to bees and a reevaluation of neonic insecticides to assess existing scientific evidence about their impact on bees.

The study will not be completed for several years.

Meanwhile, he told British Columbia Conservative Bob Zimmer that a ban on the insecticide product before scientific evidence is conclusive would have serious unintended consequences.

He said it would affect public and industry confidence in Canada’s regulatory system if a decision to ban was made without proof.

It would discourage companies from investing in products if a decision about their registration or availability in the market “isn’t predictable.”

And farmers argue that lack of access to seed treatment insecticides such as neonics would cost them hundreds of millions of dollars in lost production.

In an earlier hearing, Grain Farmers of Ontario vice-president John Cowan told MPs that if Ontario corn farmers could not use neonic products, the value of production on a 500-acre corn farm would decrease by an average $50,000.

That loss, he said, “would go right to the bottom line in terms of profitability.”

Kirby argued that scientific certainty should lead decisions on the impact of farm chemical products.

SIAL FOOD SHOW | ALLERGIES, FOOD INTOLERANCE

Food sensitivities impact markets ‘Eat well’ attitude grows | More education needed to clarify what’s in everyday food

BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

TORONTO — A growing number of people with food sensitivities is influencing marketplace choices, says a food and health marketing specialist.

Isabelle Marquis, a director with XTC World Innovation, said 20 percent of the Canadian population claims to be allergic.

“In reality, they may be intolerant, not allergic, but that still influences choices,” she said, noting it’s a trend that shows no sign of abating.

These consumers are looking for clear information on product labels, she told the recent SIAL food trade show in Toronto.

“Declare what is there and what is absent,” she advised food processors.

Marquis also said there is a growing belief that stomach ailments are caused by gluten. Sixty-five percent of the population regularly experiences some kind of digestive pain.

ISABELLE MARQUIS XTC WORLD INNOVATION

“They suspect it to be one of the reasons they may be having food discomfort,” she said.

“Health professionals are trying to calm down people and explain what is gluten and what it is for and make sure we don’t cut it out if not necessary. There’s a lot of work to be done on that, the train is going and it’s going fast and it will be hard to stop it.”

NICOLAS TRENTESAUX SIAL GROUP

Marquis said gluten-free products were initially created for the celiac market but grew in appeal.

“The effect on the general population was people didn’t know what gluten was but understood if it’s written and free of that ingredient, it means it is something I should avoid, so it started from there and went bigger and bigger.”

Surveys show people regard glutenfree as a “better for you” product.

Nicolas Trentesaux, a director with the SIAL Group in Paris, France, cited global trends toward an “eat well” attitude.

“People connect healthy food and living longer, better,” he said.

In addition, consumers are becoming more socially responsible, demanding sustainable farming practices that don’t harm the environment. He said they also want transparency, traceability and assurance about what they are eating.

They are more discerning and spend more time examining packaging and labelling, said Trentesaux.

There are also demands to verify “natural” claims on products.

Trentesaux said different countries have different requirements for such products, but the common denominator is that regulations are getting tougher.

“Now a lot of claims cannot be made anymore,” he said.

TRENDS IN FOOD INNOVATION: • Helping consumers cook like a chef.

Bison tacos and smokies, prepared by Michael Chung, were in demand at Alberta’s Carmen Creek Gourmet Bison and the Canadian Bison Association booth.

• Convenience in food packaging and preparation.

• Eliminating suspect ingredients and allergens.

• Making good on promises made.

• Getting value for money spent.

• Reducing packaging and food production practices harming the environment.

• Choosing food grown closer to home.

WHAT’S HOT IN FOOD MARKETS: • Non-alcoholic beverages (excluding water).

• Finger food (chips, crackers).

• Ready made products (cereals, prepared frozen products).

Group wants gravel roads included in driver training

Edible containers | Dishes made of fruit paste, quinoa, beans and a variety of vegetable flours

BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

TORONTO — Diane Bisson has designed a spoon, a bowl and a plate that are good enough to eat.

The Quebec industrial designer said the idea came from seeing the garbage bin heaped with disposable plates, napkins and cutlery in her son’s classroom when the children celebrated one another’s birthday.

“I decided to look at something else to hold the food, something edible,” said Bisson, a presenter at the SIAL food show in Toronto May 1.

The task was a daunting one at first, with little or no funding available 10 years ago.

She approached it from a design perspective, considering how the edible containers would be held, handled and used.

Bisson worked with a culinary school, food scientists and chefs

to ensure her dishes were functional, attractive and palatable.

“Why produce something that doesn’t taste good,” she said.

Portion sizes and nutrition were also factored into the product.

Her prototypes included an edible ring that can hold juice, with its accompanying straw made of cookies.

She also made bowls that can be collapsed into a salad as dressing and a three-bite spoon made of caramelized onion suitable for serving appetizers.

“It’s really pairing the content and container together to make it a full taste experience,” she said.

Bisson wanted distinctive flavours and textures so used ingredients as varied as quinoa, tomato and fruit paste, poppyseeds and black sesame flour in addition to white beans, carrot juice, fennel a n d c h e s t nu t a n d green bean flour.

“We tried to expand the portfolio of flour so we would have new tastes and nutritional combinations and that doesn’t always bring that wheat taste,” said Bisson.

She said response has been positive.

Bisson received funding for an edible container project and is currently working on it with a research centre.

She is also working on a folded edible wrap for an elementary school, exploring colours, shapes, textures, calories and portions suitable for child-sized appetites.

“It has to be thought of as an element of the meal, it is not something that is added to the meal,” she said.

Bisson said edible containers have a limited shelf life, and sizes would need to be no bigger than the palm of a hand to be practical. Their application is best suited to small to medium sized catering and takeaway food operations.

“It’s an absolute solution for waste reduction,” she said.

Driving on gravel requires different skills, says MWI

BY RON FRIESEN FREELANCE WRITER

WINKLER, Man. — When Curtis McRae’s oldest daughter, Emily, received her driver’s licence last year, he insisted she get experience driving on gravel.

“Driving on pavement is nothing.

But learning to drive on gravel roads is something else,” said the Keystone Agricultural Producers’ vice-president.

McRae, who operates a mixed farm at St. Andrews, Man., thinks mandatory driver training on such surfaces is a good idea.

“When you drive on gravel, you have to drive differently. Things happen when you’re not paying attention and you have to make corrections,” he said.

McRae said driver education students should also learn how to pass large farm equipment, especially on narrow back roads.

“Quite often, I run into people taking the back roads who don’t know how to react when they come across a larger piece of equipment,” he said.

A resolution passed at the recent Manitoba Women’s Institute annual meeting asked the Manitoba Public Insurance Corp.“to implement unpaved roadway driving instruction into the driver education program.”

MPIC statistics show defective driving surfaces are often blamed for a loss of control that accounts for two percent of all collisions, of which 21 percent are fatal.

Drivers aged 16 to 19 are five times more likely than other age groups to be involved in a collision on defective driving surfaces.

Students training for driver ’s licences should learn that driving on gravel is different from concrete or asphalt, said MWI’s Justina Hop of Tolstoi, Man. “It’s for the whole province, not just for our rural children,” she said.

MWI lobbies to keep Canada’s last home ecology faculty

BY RON FRIESEN FREELANCE WRITER

WINKLER, Man. — A proposal to combine seven university faculties, including human ecology, into a single faculty of health sciences could dilute the home economics curriculum and produce graduates with insufficient skills to teach the subject, the recent Manitoba Women’s Institute annual meeting was told.

Debora Durnin-Richards, president of the Manitoba Association of Home Economists, urged MWI to lobby to keep the faculty of human ecology/home economics a distinct entity at the University of Manitoba.

JOAN CLEMENT MANITOBA WOMEN’S INSTITUTE PRESIDENT

“If you’re going to change the structure, you’ve got to make sure human ecology has the same kind of identity and accessibility as all the others that are being amalgamated,” she said.

“We need to fight to make sure it continues.”

The MWI meeting passed a resolution calling on the university to main-

tain human ecology “as a clearly identifiable program of study meeting the needs of the holistic, multifaceted professional practice of home economics.”

MWI president Joan Clement worried that human ecology graduates might not have the full credentials needed to teach home economics in school.

“How would we train those people who are going on to be home economics teachers in the school system? How do we find those people with that broad knowledge to teach home economics in the secondary system?”

A human ecology faculty member serves on MWI, which was instru-

mental in helping found the school of home economics.

In January 2012, U of M president David Barnard proposed reducing the number of faculties from 20 to 13 by combining those related to human health and well-being. The initiative would take effect by 2017.

The new health sciences faculty would include the faculties of medicine, dentistry, nursing, pharmacy, human ecology, medical rehabilitation and dental hygiene and kinesiology and recreation management.

One option could see human ecology included in a College of Public Health within the proposed new faculty.

Durnin-Richards said it’s probably

unrealistic to expect human ecology to remain untouched by the proposed amalgamation.

She said the U of M is the last university in Canada to have human ecology as a stand-alone faculty.

Originally called household science, home economics was first offered in 1910 through the then Manitoba Agricultural College.

It continued as part of the faculty of agriculture until 1970, when it received separate faculty status. Its name changed to human ecology in 1982.

MWI, along with other community and farm groups, lobbied successfully against a U of M plan in the 1990s to abolish the faculty.

ON THE FARM | SIX GENERATIONS

Family embraces new methods to farm efficiently Solar power, GPS, biodiversity projects | Wheatcrest Farms uses management practices that are sustainable and environmentally friendly

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

LOMOND, Alta. — An array of construction and farm equipment toys are lined up outside the office of Wheatcrest Farms, where the next generation of farmers, still pintsized, often plays.

Glenn and Marie Logan welcome the interest their grandchildren take in farm operations. They and their two children, Tamara and Doug, operate the large enterprise and some of the seven grandchildren seem likely to follow in their farming footsteps.

Six generations of Logans have farmed in this fertile part of southern Alberta, starting in the early 1900s.

The farm’s website, built by Doug, emphasizes that history with an array of vintage photos of past Logans and Bolducs, which is Marie’s side of the family.

Glenn says that history emphasizes the fact that Wheatcrest Farms is here to stay.

“Our vision is to create an environment where our kids will want to stay and work, continue on the farm. It’s important to us. It’s been here 100 years. We’d like to see it continue for another hundred,” says Glenn.

“We have a really deep sense of our roots,” adds Marie.

“I guess one thing that sums it up is our family mission statement. It says ‘committed to the quality of life for our family, efficient management of our farm and betterment of our community.’ I think every one of our generations has sort of had that same mission.”

The family includes Doug and Heather, and their children, Hannah, Hailey, Sam and Jaxon, and Tamara and Shin Okubo, and their children Eva, Max and Kale.

Over time, the farm has expanded to several thousand acres of irrigated, dryland and pasture in various locations between Lomond and Enchant, with additional property near Picture Butte.

The farm has been zero till since 1995 and the Logans grow an array of pedigreed cereals and oilseeds, operate their own seed cleaning plant and run a 100-head cow-calf operation and a 1,000 head feedlot.

Family members plus two employees keep things running, but they are always considering ways to keep the farm sustainable and environmentally friendly.

They recently added a solar array that provides electricity to the seed cleaning plant with excess sold into the grid.

The Logans have also embraced variable rate fertilizer application, made possible by GPS and other technology.

Extensive records allow the farm to

trace cropping history back to the early 1980s, an asset when it comes to pedigreed seed and hybrid seed production on contract.

The farm is involved in biodiversity projects involving Ducks Unlimited, Pheasants Forever and a Fish and Wildlife burrowing owl protection effort.

Glenn is well known in agricultural circles for his work with the Alberta Barley Commission, various seed grower organizations and both the provincial and Canadian cattlemen’s groups.

The business cards on his desk are printed in both Korean and Japanese for use on his numerous business trips, the most recent of which saw him promoting barley to Asian markets in March.

Glenn is also active on SouthGrow, an initiative to attract people and businesses to southern Alberta, as well as Ag for Life, the Alberta 4-H Foundation, SeedNet, Vulcan County council and numerous other industry and community groups.

Marie is well known in 4-H circles.

She was inducted to the 4-H Hall of Fame in 2000 and has an honorary life membership on the Canadian 4-H Council.

She has been a 4-H leader for 38 years, and her children and grandchildren are all past or current members of 4-H. As well, she is past-president of the 4-H Foundation.

“I’ve always said the experience a 4-H member gets lasts them a lifetime. Our youth are our future leaders and especially our 4-H members, there’s no limit to what they can achieve or what goals they can reach,” she says.

Family and business pursuits could fill the days, but the Logans’ belief in community involvement stretches their time even further.

Marie is a founding member of the Chinook Arch regional library system and has long been a board member for the Lomond Community Library and Vulcan County library.

She is also past chair of the Horizon School Division and a member of the Alberta School Board Association, so negotiations with teachers have recently been part of her activities.

LEFT: Marie Logan has spent hours behind the wheel conducting farm business as well as her many 4-H, library, school board and community activities.

“I’ve always said if you want women and children to live in rural areas, there’s got to be services, and that happens to be schools and libraries,” she says.

Community involvement is also part of Doug and Heather’s lives.

Doug serves on the library board and has been tapped to develop a website for Lomond’s upcoming 100th anniversary.

Heather, a public health nurse, is on

the local skating club board and involved in various music, 4-H and sporting events for her children.

And then there’s the money printing operation.

Glenn hatched an idea to print “Badger Bucks” as a method of community development. Funded by the community, the bucks are used as prizes in local events, such as the fishing derby on nearby McGregor Lake. The “money” must be spent in

the community.

“It’s fun things like that, that keep community spirit,” Marie says.

She and Glenn agree that farming will never be an easy way of life. It takes commitment and the ability to explain practices necessary to food production.

Glenn sums it up with a quotation from Martin Luther King Jr.: “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about the things that matter.”

A straw bale garden helps discourage weeds and retain moisture.

T

ired of tilling, weeding, watering, delayed spring planting and a short growing season?

Gardening with hay bales might offer some options.

Joel Karsten, author of Straw Bale Gardens, said preparation is required for the square straw bales, which must be conditioned ahead of time.

Begin about two weeks before you plant seeds or transplants. Choose a location in full sun where water does not collect after a heavy rain. Place the bales end to end on their sides, keeping the strings on the sides.

Pound 2.4 metre steel fence posts into the ground at each end of the row to allow for wires to be stretched between the steel posts above the bales to support plants.

Karsten recommends erecting twoby-fours between the tops of the posts to keep them upright and rigid.

The bales are conditioned over a 12-day period by watering and/or adding fertilizer each day, causing the bales to begin to decompose and produce heat.

Transplants can then be planted into a warm seedbed using soilless mix to cover the roots.

Plant seeds in a three to five centimetre layer of soilless mix spread on the surface of the bales.

Karsten cautions against using soil to avoid weed growth.

To start the garden earlier, use the posts and wires to support a cover and create a greenhouse effect.

Use this technique to ward off early fall frosts as well, extending the growing season even further.

The bales have great water retention properties so your garden can be left for several days without being watered. Karsten recommends an automatic watering system be installed when the bales are prepared to eliminate the bothersome chore of watering.

Bale gardens cannot be overwatered because the excess water runs out the bottom of the bale.

Insects that live in the soil are less apt to attack a bale garden and soilborne diseases are eliminated. There will be few weed seeds because no soil is used.

Mulch the paths between the rows of bales to prevent weed problems.

Although best suited for a rural garden, a straw bale garden might be useful in small urban gardens where nearby mature trees have sent out extensive root systems that steal nutrients and moisture from garden plants.

HORSES | TRAINING

Horse trainer takes unique approach to horsemanship Trainer reads body language of animal and owner

BY SHIRLEY COLLINGRIDGE FREELANCE WRITER

LANGHAM, Sask. — Mable Elliott turned a childhood passion into a health-centered enterprise that attracts clients from around the world.

“I’d have dollar bills stuffed in my pocket. I would work with ponies all day and I loved doing it,” she said of her early years.

That work experience eventually led to the creation of her Mable Elliott Horsemanship Services and Guest Ranch near Langham, Sask.

She suffered a setback after acquiring the Level 2 western equestrian coach and horse trainer designation.

Elliot was left with severe memory loss and disabling pain after a serious car accident and had to learn how to walk again.

During her recovery, Elliott discovered that traditional and alternative medicine, when practised together, can heal. “(It) made a huge change to the depth of what I do now…. (Otherwise) I think I would have just been a thumbs up and heels down kind of teacher,” she said.

Elliott learned a lot during her own healing process.

“Your body is speaking to you from your innermost person, aching and crying for attention,” she said. “Are you listening?”

Elliott later added designations of Soul Energetics massage therapist, internationally certified teacher of psychosomatic therapy and indepth body language and lifestyle awareness with horsemanship.

She said her teachings are based on three distinct types of reasoning: human logic, horse sense and cowgirl logic.

The traditional and non-traditional health approach, together with a human-animal connection, has attracted clients of all ages.

She uses 160 acres, more than 30 horses, a large indoor arena and a garden to help clients learn from their equine-to-human relationships.

“For years, I was training people how to read the horse,” she said.

“That worked, but then I began realizing I was also reading people.

“You combine the two and they balance. The horse is four-point grounded and we are sitting in the centre of that balance.”

Another important principle in Elliott’s program is “whoa means no.”

“If I don’t want your attention and I say no, that means whoa. (It) gives people the confidence to have their personal space. When they learn that they can be successful without being aggressive, I teach them to say whoa in body language.”

This spring, Elliott added a sponsorship program for at-risk youth.

“They learn that not only their actions toward others, but others’ actions toward them, must follow the guideline, whoa means no,” she said.

Mable Elliott operates her guest ranch near Langham, Sask., and offers training in mastering the horse-human relationship. | SHIRLEY COLLINGRIDGE PHOTO

FOOD INDUSTRY | PACKAGING CHANGES

WTO TALKS | U.S. AG POLICY REFORM

Canadian food industry fears lost jobs with packaging change Some food companies say non-regulated package sizes will spark an influx of imports OTTAWA BUREAU

A senior Canadian food industry leader says the government decision to propose ending Canadian food container size standards has launched a divisive and unnecessary debate in the sector.

The government said in last year’s budget that it planned to end regulated food package sizes in the interests of consumer choice and the elimination of non-tariff trade barriers.

The move has led to predictions that an onslaught of cheaper products from the United States in container sizes that Canadian companies cannot match could kill tens of thousands of food processing jobs.

It has generated resistance from community leaders and food processing companies, particularly in Ontario.

As a result, the federal government and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency have backed away from an aggressive agenda for implementation and are continuing consultations.

Derek Nighbor, senior vice-president of Food and Consumer Products of Canada, told the House of Commons agriculture committee April 30 that it is the most divisive issue he has dealt with in the food products industry.

“This has been in my almost five years with FCPC probably the most challenging issue we’ve had to manage because our membership has been split down the middle,” he said.

Some food companies believe that being able to vary container sizes beyond traditional Canadian requirements would give them a chance to grow and compete.

However, others fear that they could not afford the retooling to make different-sized packages quickly enough to withstand the influx of foreign product in non-regulated packages.

Critics also argue multinational companies with plants in both Canada and the United States would simply service the Canadian market from the U.S. plant and close Canadian operations.

“It really has divided the industry, and in my organization, we have two very entrenched camps,” he said.

“It’s why our members said we should stay away from lobbying one way or the other on this issue.”

Nighbor said the industry didn’t have any warning of a rule change.

“Everybody was taken by surprise,” he said. “To my knowledge, nobody was asking for it.”

Nighbor said the government has not produced economic analysis to make the case for the change.

“I know some people see it as a trade barrier and a barrier to investment in the industry,” he said.

“On the other side, many companies say they have invested in playing by the rules as they exist and if the rules change, they will fail.”

He said the debate and consultation process launched by the government is just another job for an

already-stretched CFIA. “This really has been taking a lot of energy, and that’s unfortunate because there are so many other issues that need attention and energy, and I just don’t think most in the industry see this as a priority.”

Agriculture minister Gerry Ritz recently suggested in Parliament that nothing is imminent.

“We continue to work with the industries and affected communi-

ties to come up with a positive result that will reinforce Canadian agriculture and Canadian processing,” he said.

New Democratic Party agriculture critic Malcolm Allen said later it is a sign the Conservatives are backing away from an ill-thought-out plan that has produced significant political opposition from many rural Ontario communities now represented by Conservative MPs.

Ag policy, food security linked WASHINGTON, D.C. (Reuters) — The United States says it is prepared to examine how agricultural policy reform could boost global food security as part of a package of commitments at the World Trade Organization’s upcoming meeting in December.

“The United States agrees with India and other proponents that enhancing food security in developing countries is indeed an important issue for this body to address,” said Michael Punke, U.S. ambassador to the WTO. “Therefore, today we are stating our openness to a work program, to be agreed by Bali, on food security that can examine the full range of traderelated government measures that

can contribute to that goal.”

The U.S. outreach comes as WTO members strive to agree on a small package of trade reforms at the group’s upcoming ministerial meeting in December in Bali.

In late 2001, W TO members launched an ambitious round of talks aimed at slashing farm subsidies, cutting tariffs on agricultural and manufacturing goods and opening services markets around the world to more trade. Twelve years later, the WTO’s failure to complete the Doha round has tarnished its reputation.

A major reason for the impasse is the U.S. insistence that countries such as China, Brazil and India make better offers to open their markets in exchange for U.S. farm subsidy cuts.

RESEARCH | BACTERIA

Produce peppered with healthy dose of bacteria Farming practices examined | Study finds a diverse group of bacteria on fruit and vegetables, but most are beneficial

BY MARGARET EVANS FREELANCE WRITER

LINDELL BEACH, B.C. — Recent research has found that fruit and vegetables carry a diverse range of bacteria on their surfaces.

It is well known that produce can harbor bacterial populations, such as harmful E. coli and salmonella, but this is the first study to look at the diversity of non-pathogenic bacterial communities. These communities of microbes vary depending on the type of produce, farming methods, storage and transportation. “We were not looking at pathogens but bacteria in general,� said research associate Jonathan Leff with the Fierer Lab Group at the University of Colorado, Boulder. “The vast majority of bacteria on fruits and vegetables are probably beneficial to you. The study was very preliminary as we didn’t know a lot about the majority of bacteria on fruits and vegetables across a wide array of items.�

Leff, whose study was published by the open access journal PLoS ONE, said most of the work on bacteria associated with produce has focused on a relatively small number of pathogenic bacteria.

As a result, there was a lack of understanding about the harmless bacteria and how those communities differ according to different produce and farming and handling practices.

Leff’s team based the study on common produce types: bean sprouts, alfalfa sprouts, lettuce, spinach, tomatoes, strawberries, apples, peaches, grapes, peppers, and mushrooms. “We saw that enterobacteriaceae dominated many of the types of produce we looked at,� said Leff. “This is a diverse group of bacteria that includes some harmful bacteria, but the vast majority are harmless and are typically common to plant leaves.�

He found significant differences in bacterial community composition when comparing conventional and organic farming methods. “These differences were often attributable to distinctions in the relative abundances of Enterobacteriaceae taxa, which were generally less abundant in organically grown produce,� he wrote in his paper.

However, several factors contribute to the differences he observed. “We can’t say that the differences we saw between organic and conventionally labelled produce were due necessarily to the way they were grown, but we did notice there were very distinct differences in the bacteria growing on fresh items labelled conventional or organic,� he said. “It might not be how they were grown, but differences in storage, transportation, etc. Types of bacteria that survive on the surface of fruits and veggies could change if affected by cooler temperatures while being stored or transported, or whether it’s warmer or how long they are stored.

However, I would say that we did notice some differences between organic and conventional labelled variety and we saw a greater abundance of bacteria on the conventional types.�

The results suggest that humans are exposed to substantially different bacteria depending on the types of fresh produce they consume. Differences between conventionally and organically farmed varieties contribute to this variation.

Consumers in developed nations have choices between conventionally farmed and organically farmed produce. As a result, they are exposed to the changes in the makeup of microbial communities depending on the produce’s exposure to fertilizer and pesticides.

“However, we do not know if these potential effects of farming practices on produce-associated microbial communities are evident across a wide range of produce types and whether such effects persist up until the point that produce is purchased and consumed,� he wrote.

The research has raised further questions: • Do the differences in the microbial communities and the farming practices influence how the bacteria might degrade the produce? • Do these differences have a factor

A future question could rest on the influence of climate change and how warming temperatures and changing local weather patterns in key growing areas could change those complex bacterial communities and to what degree of risk.

Leff said it will be important to find out which factors drive the differences between bacterial communi-

MANITOBA HOG SECTOR | FINANCIAL CRISIS

Hog sector ‘vital,’ but no help coming

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Manitoba’s agriculture minister says he understands and values the hog industry’s vital contribution to the province.

However, in a May 1 speech to the Manitoba Farm Writers and Broadcasters Association, Ron Kostyshyn made no promises of concrete help to the beleaguered industry, which is caught in a financial crisis that is eliminating most of the remaining independent hog producers.

“We need to develop, rather than a three, four, six month, 10 month plan down the road as far as financial sta-

bility of funding,” Kostyshyn said.

“We need to get involvement from the producer to the retail component, have those individuals sit around the table and say, ‘we need to develop some form of a stabilization fund from the entire food chain.’ ” Manitoba Agriculture recently turned down a plan developed by the Manitoba Pork Council to create a stabilization program that would be entirely farmer funded but paid out through a line of credit backed by the provincial government.

The government said positive things about the idea of the program, but insisted that the federal government and packing compa-

nies also take part.

Kostyshyn said the government has not refused to take part in a larger program.

“We did not shut the door with the Manitoba Pork Council,” he said.

“What we said was that the plan that was presented, the proposal that was presented, was not somewhat applicable to what we talk about in a business plan,” he said.

U.S. dollar values.

At the same time, the spiralling increase in feedgrain prices forced many farmers into tight margins or losses, and that phenomenon has not changed.

The world financial crisis of 2008, the H1N1 outbreak and other shocks also hammered hog prices at vital times, preventing farmers across North America from rebuilding equity. The 2012 feedgrain price spike was another blow.

As well, farmers in the Red River Valley have grappled with tough new phosphorus regulations that will f o rc e ma n y f a r m e r s t o s p re a d manure across more land, something that isn’t possible for many.

However, those farmers can’t move their operations to other parts of the province because of the provincewide ban on hog barn construction.

Other problems have compounded the chronic losses, including the provincial ban on coal-burning boilers such as those installed by many Hutterite colonies in the 2000s.

Meanwhile, the Hytek hog production company from LaBroquerie, Man., bought the hog slaughter plant in Neepawa, Man., and is running its hogs through there.

However, the pork council thinks it is unrealistic to expect packing plants to finance loans to independent hog farmers, equating it to expecting elevator companies to finance grain farmers.

The main marketing agency for independent hog producers fears that the absence of anything to help hog farmers survive the present crisis will lead to the corporatization of the hog industry, with no standalone hog farms left in a few years.

Kostyshyn said country-of-origin labelling in the United States is hurting the Manitoba hog industry, and he supports Canada’s efforts to right that trade wrong.

“I want to assure you all that (federal agriculture) minister (Gerry) Ritz and I are on the same page,” said Kostyshyn. “I stand behind minister Ritz on the choices he makes to make our point be known.”

Kostyshyn said he has been talking with Minnesota and other state agriculture officials and farm leaders about the costs of COOL and said he hopes they join more vocally in the fight against the law.

“I think what we need is a little more reinforcement from our U.S. producers who believe the trade should continue on,” said Kostyshyn. “I think we need to have a united front of people thinking the same message.”

SCIENCE | PALEONTOLOGY

New dinosaur found on Alberta ranch Fossils in Milk River | Alberta rancher has new species of dinosaur named after him

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

It’s not every day that a person has a dinosaur named after him.

Rancher Roy Audet of Milk River, Alta., is pleased that day came for him.

His namesake is Acrotholus audeti, a dog-sized, plant-eating dinosaur that lived 85 million years ago and roamed the area that is now Audet’s cattle ranch near Writing On Stone Provincial Park.

“It feels great. It’s nice. It was nice of David Evans to do that,” said Audet.

Evans, a paleontologist with the Royal Ontario Museum, discovered the skull of the dinosaur in 2008 while on a field trip with his team of researchers and graduate students. It has taken years to determine the s ku l l w a s t h a t o f a p re v i o u s l y unknown species.

“The research on it is complete and

they’re publishing their findings on it,” said Audet.

“It takes a long time for them to confer with other paleontologists that it’s indeed a new species. It’s not something that just one person can decide.”

Recent publication of the findings in the journal Nature Communications has brought publicity to the new species and to Audet.

Evans and his team had visited the ranch before and removed ancient tortoise fossils, but this was the first dinosaur fossil.

Areas east and north of the Audet ranch have yielded valuable fossils in the past, among them a dinosaur egg near Warner and various skeletal remains in the Milk River Canyon.

However, Audet said those are from more recent species, a mere 60 to 65 million years old.

Audet said he is not an avid fossil hunter, though he has always been aw a re o f t h e p o t e n t i a l t o f i n d

ancient remains.

“I collect all the stuff I can find, that’s true, but I don’t limit myself to dinosaurs.”

He and his wife have already visited the skull in its new home at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, where it has been since 2008.

In the Nature Communications synopsis, Evans and his team write that small-bodied dinosaurs such as Acrotholus audeti are less common finds than their larger dinosaur counterparts.

This particular species has a highdomed bony skull.

“A new, fully domed pachycephalosaurid dinosaur, Acrotholus audeti, from the Santonian of Alberta predates incompletely domed taxa, and provides important new information on pachycephalosaur evolution and the completeness of the ornithischian fossil record,” reads the summary.

Audet’s family has owned the ranch where the skull was found since 1900.

It lies near the Montana border in Alberta’s grassland plains.

MANITOBA | OIL AND AGRICULTURE

Producers frustrated with Man. oil industry Spills and enforcement | Manitoba farmer says oil industry requires more oversight and regulation

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

KOLA, Man. — Driving west of Virden, Man., on Highway 257, it’s impossible not to notice the incredible level of activity in Manitoba’s oil patch.

TSL Industries, an oilfield trucking company, has a sparkling new garage and office near the highway, while at dozens of new well sites, it appears as if the pump jacks were installed just a few weeks ago.

Carlyle Jorgensen has witnessed the boom in Manitoba’s oil patch over the last decade from his farm seven kilometres south of Kola and less than one km from the Saskatchewan border. Like other parts of North America, horizontal drilling and fracking have opened up the Sinclair Oil Field, Manitoba’s tiny portion of the Bakken deposit that is centered in North Dakota and southeastern Saskatchewan.

The province quadruped oil production from 1999 to 2011 and now produces more than 40,000 barrels per day.

The oil boom has created jobs for hundreds of people, invigorated

small towns and made landowners who owned their mineral rights wealthy.

However, Jorgensen and dozens of other farmers in the region are now feeling what many Albertans have dealt with for years: frustration over the perception that the oil industry rides roughshod over landowner rights.

Tired of bickering with oil companies about issues on his land, Jorgensen went public last year and began speaking to the media about oil spills and other regulatory violations in Manitoba’s oil patch.

Sitting on a stool in his machine shop, Jorgensen said it was a difficult decision to air his grievances publicly.

“I’m not comfortable one bit about it. These are powerful companies and I’m just a speck on the ground here,” he said.

“But I have no choice. The way I was raised and the way I think … I cannot let this stuff happen on my property or my neighbour’s property and think I’m living life properly.”

In the winter of 2011-12, Jorgensen discovered what appeared to be an intentional spill of oil and salt water in a ditch a few kilometres from his

Farmer Carlyle Jorgensen has been an outspoken critic of oil patch operators in Manitoba following an oil spill on his land. | ROBERT ARNASON PHOTO farm. After getting nowhere with the province, Jorgensen spoke about the spill at a Keystone Agricultural Producers meeting in late 2012.

This winter an underground flow line from a well broke on his neighbour’s land.

An estimated 100,000 litres, more than 600 barrels, leaked out of the pipe and onto the soil. Considering the amount of oil that was involved, Jorgensen thinks the flow line likely leaked for days or weeks before it was detected.

During a flight over the site this

winter, Jorgensen photographed the spill as bulldozers and other heavy equipment cleaned up the contaminated soil.

According to media reports, the spill was one of 47 reported in Manitoba by early April, easily on pace to exceed the 90 spills recorded last year.

However, data on reported spills doesn’t represent the actual number of accidents.

“There’s been a whole lot more flow line breaks than what the public is told about,” said Jorgensen, vice-

president of the Manitoba Surface Rights Association, which represents 200 landowners in southwestern Manitoba.

Lenora Crepeele, who farms near Waskada, Man., agreed the oil industry isn’t transparent when it comes to spills.

“I’ve had them (an oil company) come to pay me compensation for a spill that I didn’t even know about,” she said.

MANITOBA | FROM PAGE 33

Producers frustrated with Man. oil industry “There’s been many times where I drive by and see a pile of dirt. I’m like, ‘what the heck’s going on?’ I’ve had to drive back and (they) say, ‘we’ve had a pipeline break’. But they haven’t notified (us) that they had to dig it up.”

Jorgensen said the substantial spill this winter is an example of the lack of oversight when it comes to the oil industry in Manitoba.

He said it would be impossible for an underground flow line to leak for days or weeks without anyone noticing if the province required oil companies to check wells for leaks more often and follow certain protocols.

“I’m not asking for anything outrageous. When it comes to spills, I don’t think any regulation is too stringent,” he said. “The cost of pressuring a line every two days would be pretty minimal, compared to the amount of money they’re making off of that well. Let’s keep in mind that these (companies) aren’t barely scraping by…. These are wealthy, wealthy companies.”

Jorgensen said the province should also oversee who is installing underground flow lines from wells and how the work is done.

“The province has very few regulations for flow lines…. If it was in an oil and gas facility, the welder would have to be (certified) … for that specific size and type of pipe,” he said.

“Yet when they put pipeline in the ground, they can pick up somebody

off the streets of Virden that doesn’t even know what a crescent wrench is.

He could put that pipe in the ground with absolutely no supervision from (the province).”

Crepeele said adopting a policy similar to what’s in place in Saskatchewan would increase transparency around oil spills.

The Saskatchewan government posts an updated list of all reported spills in the province on a website, including information on the company, the location, the substance and an estimated volume.

Jorgensen said that sort of information would publicize an oil company’s track record and help farmers who are looking to buy land.

“You could be buying yourself a whole pile of liability if there is a mass of buried pipe or old flow lines,” said Jorgensen, who has 11 active wells on his land.

Eldon Boon, who farms near Virden, said abandoned pipelines and wells are his principal frustration with the oil industry. He thinks the infrastructure should be removed and the land remediated.

“Now that they’ve gone to horizontal (wells), they’ve abandoned some of the old verticals,” he said.

“The drilling of new wells, it’s just ongoing. But the reclamation of old well sites, it’s pretty slow. A lot of times (the wells) will sit for years….

I’d really like to see that process speeded up.”

An aerial photo shows an oil spill cleanup on Carlyle Jorgensen’s farmland near Kola, Man. | CARLYLE JORGENSEN PHOTO It’s not surprising that Alberta’s regulatory environment is more sophisticated than what’s in place in Manitoba, considering that Alberta produces 2.5 million barrels per day compared to 40,000 barrels in Manitoba.

For example, Alberta created a new energy regulator this spring that the government says will be at arm’s length from it and address the social and environmental impacts of the petroleum industry, along with the economic benefits.

Some Albertans remain skeptical, but Jorgensen said the regulatory approach is in contrast to Manitoba’s

policy.

“This province lets the oil companies self regulate.”

For instance, Jorgensen said a Manitoba regulation prohibits companies from drilling closer than 100 metres from a named creek.

However, only a few kilometres from his farm, an oil firm is operating a well on top of a hill that slopes down toward the Pipestone Creek. Jorgensen said the company may be in compliance with the regulation, but oil will still flow into the creek if the well ever leaks.

“The oil companies do try to operate within the regulations, to a point,”

Jorgensen said.

He said the government’s petroleum branch, which is supposed to enforce regulations, cannot fulfill that role because it is also in the business of promoting Manitoba’s oil patch.

“I had a petroleum branch inspector tell me (that’s) correct…. Enforcement should be a completely separate division,” Jorgensen said.

“He told me it’s impossible to promote and enforce out of the same office.”

Boon is satisfied with the performance of oil firms on his land, but industry standards may have slipped farther south in the Sinclair field.

“I think if you get in an area where there’s been a lot of activity, I think a lot of things probably aren’t what they should be,” he said.

Larry Maguire, Progressive Conservative MLA for the Arthur-Virden constituency, said the province should study oil industry regulation in North Dakota and Saskatchewan to ensure Manitoba is keeping pace.

“We need to look at other jurisdictions as to the types of programming and management that they’ve put in place,” he said.

Boon said the petroleum industry has created jobs and wealth and revived communities, but landowners and other residents need to know that a government agency is defending their rights and protecting the environment.

COMMUNITY SERVICES | BUS TRANSPORTATION

Rural bus project praised by seniors Pilot project | Grants and donations give seniors more independence

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

BASHAW, Alta. — Eva Schiera was a woman on a mission when she recently climbed aboard the Battle River Bus from Bashaw to Camrose.

Her first stop was Walmart for some shopping and then over to Dollarama and Sobeys to stock up on groceries and supplies before an operation at the end of May. The Battle River Bus is an important link from Bashaw to the surrounding communities for Schiera, who doesn’t drive.

“It’s the only transportation I have,” said Schiera, who thinks she will use the service twice a month.

Organizers hope the bus service will link small towns and villages within the Battle River area.

Vera Jackson also plans to use the bus service twice a month. As a senior living in the village of Ferintosh, Jackson relies on others to “bum a ride” to Camrose.

Jackson, who lost her driver’s licence because of poor eye sight, plans to use the bus service for visiting friends, medical appointments, shopping and banking.

“It gives you a good feeling of independence when you can get out and go yourself,” she said during a celebration of the bus service.

Lack of transportation has been identified as one of the biggest barriers for seniors and others who live in small rural communities and don’t drive, said Jane Ross, president of the Association for Life-wide Living of Alberta, the umbrella group that organized the rural transportation demonstration project.

The association is using grants and donations to figure out how the bus service will work most efficiently.

The bus now leaves Bashaw every Thursday at 8:30 a.m. with pickups at Ferintosh, Edberg, New Norway, Duhamel and Camrose. It leaves Camrose for the return journey at 3 p.m.

Ross wants the bus to be used for tours of the region or educational events, but her long-term goal is for it to connect with other similar buses in other communities.

“They’re not linked together. Many of the vans are sitting quietly most of the time, or they are underused.

People in the community don’t realize they can be used for things other than health services,” said Ross.

“There is real potential for a larger connectivity.”

Camrose County reeve Don Gregorwich said his municipality supported the project because it answered a need in the area.

“Some of our residents can’t easily get around. It seems only fitting that we offer this service to them,” he said.

Paintearth County reeve George Cloutier hopes to learn from the demonstration project.

His county has two handivans in Consort and Coronation that are underused.

He sees them being used more for taking residents to medical appointments, shopping or touring light displays at Christmas.

“This model could be used anywhere in rural Alberta or Saskatchewan,” said Cloutier.

He envisions the nearby communi-

TED WIGGLESWORTH BASHAW AND DISTRICT HEALTH AND WELLNESS FOUNDATION

ties of Stettler and the Special Areas working together to promote the use of their handivans as a way to increase independence for rural residents.

Cloutier said the biggest problem is finding drivers for the handivans.

The ideal candidates are retired or semi-retired residents who like to drive. Battle River organizers hope to promote their service over the next year and find the most efficient way

to operate it. The association eventually wants to create a region-wide system of local buses in a regional transportation network.

Peggy McFadyen, councillor with the Town of Provost, said the challenges are no different on the east end of the province, especially with the loss of the Greyhound passenger bus service two years ago.

Both young and old community members struggle to find rides to medical or eye appointments in the larger centres. McFadyen said they plan to use a similar model to maximize the use of their small buses for residents.

“We are about to fix that,” said McFadyen.

Ted Wigglesworth, a member of the Bashaw and District Health and Wellness Foundation, said transportation has become a major issue for community members.

“When you live in rural Alberta and

“In this province, if you don’t drive, you can’t get there.”

Patricia Macklin, a senior project co-ordinator in Alberta Agriculture’s rural initiatives and research branch, said the government is interested in rural transportation issues because of its links to “aging in place.”

CHICKENS | ANIMAL FRIENDLY HOUSING

Colony brings organic, aviary-style barn to Alta.

More costly | Extra expense for aviary roosts and organic feed pencil out to $6 per dozen eggs

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

ROSALIND, Alta. — Ben Waldner was skeptical about building a free run, aviary-style, organic egg barn in Alberta.

However, touring similar barns in Europe convinced the chair of Egg Farmers of Canada that it was possible to raise happy and safe chickens, meet consumer demand and make money.

“We came home fairly confident we could make it work,” Waldner said during a tour of the Rosalind Colony egg laying barn that follows the European style.

“We were ver y encouraged in Europe,” said Waldner, who was inspired to look at building a noncaged barn from the colony’s egg grader. “We needed to be consumer responsive. I thought there was better opportunities in the future.”

Waldner doesn’t know how many new barns will be built similar to this one because of the extra expense required for the aviary roosts and the expense associated with organic poultry feed.

“This is a niche market. The eggs sell for $6 a dozen. Not everyone can afford $6 per dozen eggs,” he said.

The Rosalind Colony is a daughter colony of Waldner’s Byemoor Colony. A pig barn is normally one of the first buildings to be built on a new colony, but Waldner said the colony chose to build a chicken barn instead because of low prices and serious questions about the future of Alberta’s hog industry. The only other livestock on the colony are two milk cows.

There are four aviary-style egglaying barns in Alberta, and Rosalind Colony has the only organic one.

“As far as technology goes, it’s sec-

ond to none,” said Waldner.

Alberta agriculture minister Verlyn Olson and Edmonton MLA Dorward recently toured the barn, along with many members of the colony who had never been in the barn.

Layer barn manager Mike Stahl was a plumber for 15 years before being appointed poultry manager when the barn was built in 2010. He quickly had to learn about chickens.

“You’ve heard of cow savvy with cows. When you work with these animals, you need chicken savvy,” he said. “They have a small head. There is not much there, but when something is in there, it’s stuck.”

Unlike traditional barns, where hens are housed in cages, the Rosalind Colony’s 14,000 laying hens wander, flap and roost freely throughout the barn.

However, Stahl said the barn and the hens need more attention in this kind of system.

Day old pullets are placed into the pullet room twice a year, where they are slowly trained to roost and nest on the high platforms that fold down to make a multistory laying facility.

Lights and waterers are used to encourage the birds to roost on the pipes and platforms rather than the floor.

After five or six weeks, Stahl drops more sides down for the chickens to perch higher. By six to eight weeks, all the birds are off the floor.

“In the layer barn, if you don’t get them up, they lay their eggs on the floor and you don’t want that.”

The hens lay their eggs in nesting boxes in the centre of the roosts. Conveyor belts take the eggs out of the barns, where they are packaged and shipped to the egg grader.

The barn is divided into three areas: the pullet area in the middle,

THE DEATH RATE IN THE NEW BARN HAS BEEN

.2 %

COMPARED TO THE INDUSTRY AVERAGE OF

5% which holds 7,000 pullets, and two laying hen areas, which each hold 7,000 layers.

Stahl said the flock’s death rate has been .2 percent over its 18-month life, which is less than the industry average of five percent and better than the cage system.

“I just love this barn.”

ALBERTA WATER | SUSTAINABILITY

Alta. study looks at ground water sustainability As more homes are built, ground water use rises

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

CAROLINE, Alta. — Hydrologist Masaki Hayashi wants people to think of ground water like a bank account.

Recharging ground water is like putting money in the bank and using it is like a withdrawal. Deposits need to be greater than the withdrawals to maintain a healthy balance.

Rural communities rely on ground water: thousands of wells have been drilled in Alberta to provide household and stock water.

Hayashi said each well taps into the same aquifer when a quarter section of land is developed and 50 homes built there. It won’t take long before the supply is depleted.

“Pumping is a new expenditure on your water balance,” he told a land care meeting held recently in Caroline.

“We need to manage the ground water in a way that we can avoid wells going dry and also your creeks.”

His University of Calgary research team is studying ground water in southern Alberta. A recent project involves landowners in Rocky View County, which surrounds Calgary.

Landowners are invited to measure their wells and report back on the quality and quantity. They can also provide a history of the wells’ performance.

The study, which involves 40 wells, is intended to assess if current and future uses are sustainable in a heavily populated region.

Landowners noticed there was no recharge in 2009, but heavier snowfall in 2011 provided considerable recharge to the system.

“It is all related to the amount of snow we get and when and how it melts,” Hayashi said.

BUILDING YOUR GETAWAY HAS NEVER BEEN EASIER!

In Alberta, allocation licenses are granted to withdraw water from surface and ground water sources.

Hayashi said the method to evaluate ground water’s sustainability and yield, which was developed 50 years ago, is flawed. Some of the calculations were based on one well per aquifer, which is not the case today.

The province has only 300 ground water well monitors, which Hayashi said is insufficient.

“You need to have denser monitoring wells to comprehend what is happening,” he said.

Well density between Calgary and Edmonton is quite high. For example, there are probably only two or three wells per quarter section near Caroline in west-central Alberta but perhaps as many as 11 to 15 per quarter in communities close to Calgary.

“More homes are going to be built in this area, and we need to be planning ahead for ground water use,” he said.

Ground water assessments and planning need to be tied to watershed and land use planning so that users are ensured of long-term water supplies for the environment.

Ground water cannot be seen, but researchers know of its importance to the ecology and how it affects the functions of streams.

A new concept is the hyporheic zone, which is where surface and ground water meet and mix.

“This is very important for the ecology of streams. There are several mechanisms that cause this hyporheic exchange,” he said.

Stream bottoms undulate and can push stream water into sediment, where it meets and mixes with ground water. Contaminants in the stream water are also removed as it travels through the sediment.

Rain and snow recharge streams and ground water, but it depends on how quickly and when the snow melts. It cannot percolate into frozen soil.

Water that accumulates in ponds and sloughs in the spring will eventually flow underground and become ground water. Rapid ground water

recharge happens when there is rapid melting.

“Recharge is dependent on the climate,” Hayashi said.

Average monthly precipitation and evaporation are often out of balance in dry regions such as Calgary. The highest precipitation is in June and July, and the potential for evaporation at this time may be greater than the precipitation.

Excess precipitation over evaporation occurs in winter.

Hayashi said the Ogallala Aquifer is

an example of unsustainability. The aquifer, located beneath the Great Plains in the United States, has been heavily pumped, mostly for irrigation, and water levels are dropping.

“This is clearly not sustainable.”

Water levels have been declining and recharge is not keeping up, but it is hard to stop because so many lives depend on water from the aquifer.

“It is a case of ground water mining,” he said.

INTERNATIONAL AID | PROGRAM MERGER

Aid groups pleased with agency change Government’s poverty reduction mandate praised

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Ottawa has unveiled the details of its plan to amalgamate international assistance programs with trade and foreign affairs bureaucracies.

Most aid groups are giving the plan a passing grade.

When plans for the merger were announced in the March budget, aid activists and opposition MPs worried that Canada’s international aid and development efforts would simply become an arm of economic, trade and foreign affairs priorities.

Details contained in the budget implementation bill presented to Parliament April 29 appears to have alleviated some of the concerns.

The bill includes details about the new Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Act, which will be the legal framework for the end of the Canadian International Development Agency as a standalone government agency.

The legislation specifies that the mandate of the international development minister will be “to foster sustainable international development and poverty reduction in developing countries and provide humanitarian assistance during crises.”

Aid groups said it is what they wanted to hear.

World Vision, a Christian aid and advocacy organization, issued a statement supporting the amalgamation plan because the legislation “reaffirms Canada’s commitment to poverty reduction. Responding to the needs and aspirations of the most vulnerable children and families around the world is an expression of Canadian values and generosity.”

The Canadian Foodgrains Bank echoed the praise for a legislative mandate for “poverty reduction.”

Executive director Jim Cornelius said in a statement it is encouraging that the legislation gives the international development minister the same status as the trade minister.

Both will report to the foreign affairs minister.

Mark Fried, policy officer with Oxfam Canada, said the bureaucratic structure and mandate are acceptable, but the pace of the bureaucratic realignment could be a problem if it drags on. Hundreds of millions of dollars allocated for aid spending have not been spent because the minister has not authorized it “If the reorganization slows that down even more or makes the problem worse, that will be a concern,” he said.

International co-operation minister Julian Fantino came under fire from opposition MPs in the House of Commons last week because of a report from auditor general Michael Ferguson recommending that the government be more clear and transparent in reporting on the effectiveness of its foreign aid spending.

Fantino said reporting transparency and results assessments will be improved, but he rejected arguments that the government is breaking the 2008 Official Development Assis-

tance Accountability Act. “Our efforts on the international level of assistance and development are certainly well entrenched,” he said. “We are receiving appreciation from countries and others who are receiving our aid. Obviously there are some issues that we need to deal with, and we will, but to say we are not observing the law or acting otherwise is irresponsible.”

INVESTMENT | SASKATCHEWAN FARMLAND

Investors eager to put money into Sask. land

An Alberta-based investment fund is hoping to raise another $20 million to buy farmland in Saskatchewan.

Ca l g a r y - b a s e d A g c a p i t a a n nounced last month that it has launched a fourth farmland investment fund that will deal exclusively in Saskatchewan cropland.

The fund is RRSP eligible and is open to investors from British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and Newfound-

land. In its previous three farmland funds, Agcapita raised more than $30 million in investment capital and acquired 45,000 acres of farmland across the province.

Farmland assets held in the Agcapita portfolio are now valued at close to $50 million and have generated compound rates of return in the neighbourhood of 20 percent per year, according to Agcapita president Stephen Johnston.

Johnston said Saskatchewan farmland, based on its productive capacity, continues to trade at a significant discount compared to land in other parts of Canada and around the world.

Agcapita has looked at launching similar farmland acquisition funds in other Western Canadian provinces, but Saskatchewan land continues to provide the best return on investment.

“We particularly like … Saskatchewan because there’s this demonstrable discount on farmland prices if you look at (the cost for) a bushel of productive capacity,” Johnston said.

“Right now, Saskatchewan land trades at about $800 for a tonne of productive capacity and Alberta trades at about $1,500 for a tonne of productive capacity.

“If you could buy IBM stocks in Saskatchewan at eight times earnings and you could buy IBM stocks in Alberta at 15 times earnings, where would you buy IBM stocks?”

Agcapita’s fourth farmland investment fund is the company’s largest yet.

Strong investor interest is based on the assumption that Saskatchewan land is a relatively safe investment and that global demand for food, feed and biofuel products will continue to increase over the long term.

Johnston said farmland funds, similar to gold, provide a hedge against inflation and give risk-averse investors an opportunity to diversify their holdings without assuming operational risks that most farmers face. Farmland acquired through the fund is leased back to farmers on a cash-rent basis.

Investor returns of six percent per year are generated from cash rents.

In its first two funds, Agcapita buyers were acquiring land at an average price of $400 to $450 per acre.

Fund 3, which recently closed but is not yet fully invested, has been buying at an average price of $750 per acre.

In a newsletter dated May 2, Agcapita announced it had acquired 1,756 acres of land — roughly 11 quarter sections —in the Rural Municipality of Frontier, 150 kilometres southwest of Swift Current.

Johnston said response among farmers to Agcapita’s acquisitions have been mostly positive.

“The feedback is good. People appreciate that there are a lot of farmers retiring and I think that they want to get fair market value for their land,” he said. “The market is enormous and the (number) of funds investing in the farmland market is tiny.”

Agcapita’s farmland funds are maintained for terms of five or six years, at which point the land holdings can be liquidated or rolled over into new or extended funds.

CASE AIM COMMAND AND SHARP SHOOTER “The Air Bubble Jet 90% LESS DRIFT, consistently produces droplets that are 200-550 microns in LESS RUN OFF, size. Too big to drift - too $ 25 SUPERIOR COVERAGE 11 small to run off.”

Drift occurs when droplets are smaller than 200 microns. Standard sprayer nozzles drift because they produce droplets that are 50-300 micron in size with a large percentage under 200. With a droplet range of 200-550 microns, the Air Bubble Jet has 90% less drift than standard nozzles.

NEW!

$ 95

8

Run off occurs with big droplets - 600 microns and over. Depending on the manufacturer, other low drift nozzles produce droplets that range in size from 250-1000 microns. That is why run off can be a problem. With a droplet size of 200-550 microns, your chemical stays on the plant when applied with the Air Bubble Jet. New Twin Air Bubble Jet. With the twin cap, you can use 2-5 gallon nozzles rather than 1-10 gallon nozzles. The advantage is you get over twice as many droplets per square inch for superior coverage.

Air Bubble jet nozzles operate at 30-45 psi and have an overall range of 20-90 psi.They can be used to apply fungicides, insecticides and herbicides to any crop including potatoes and pulse crops.

“IT’S WHAT WE DO�

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

Forged Links

Excavator links are lubricated using “Extreme Pressure Synthetic Grease� and fitted with the latest style Polyurethane Seal Groups to maximize lubricant retention and insure long life.

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.

Sealed & Lubricated Dozer/Loader Chains

Lubricated Dozer Chains are sealed with Polyurethane Seals and Metal rings to extend operating life and to eliminate the possibility of dry joints between “west turns�.

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.

LINDELL BEACH, B.C. — For every livestock producer, lowering feed costs and consistent feed quality is a challenge.

In Chilliwack, B.C., Alice Jongerden has taken steps toward her goal to replace costly grain feed for herd of about 50 dairy cows (25 of which are producing milk) with sprouted seed grown in a hydroponic chamber.

The new option is also expected to provide nutritious feed year round that she can depend on regardless of weather, crop failures, or market changes.

In early May, Jongerden, who provides feed for Our Cows herd share, took delivery of a self-contained growing chamber manufactured by Montana-based Sun Roads Farmory.

Their Alternative Feed Systems are hydroponic growing rooms developed to sprout grain and legume seeds for cost livestock feed.

The entire process, from placing seeds in growing trays to mats of fodder ready to be fed to the dairy cows, takes only six days.

The closed chamber provides a climate-controlled environment with the right mix of temperature, humidity, and water that is delivered in a light mist. The fodder mats are 100 percent organic green feed.

“We recommend to customers that the sprouted mats represent 50 percent to 80 percent of their primary (grain) ration,” said Ron Doore, president of Sun Roads Farmory.

He said Jongerden’s system replaces 40 acres of irrigated hay pasture (in a dry climate). He said the nutrient value of the feed yields a three to four percent increase in butterfat.

“The cows already really enjoy the sprouted mats,” said Jongerden.

“There are three mats on each tray and my unit has 72 trays.”

Each day, about one kilogram of seed is spread to a one-centimetre depth on the trays at one end of the chamber.

As trays are added each day, those that are seeded are shunted through the chamber to the other end, regularly misted along the way.

At the end of six days, the trays emerge with thick mats of sprouted barley grass, which can be fed immediately to cattle, horses, sheep, chickens, goats or pigs.

“The lush green grass will change

Sprouted grains are: • a good source of vitamins and mineral omega-3, amino acids and natural hormones; • a source of digestive enzymes that aid in the absorption of protein, fats and carbohydrates. the chemistry of the animal’s metabolism,” said Gordon Watson who originated the Home on the Range raw milk cow share.

“Ruminants will thrive. Cows and sheep with access to vital barley grass year round will do much better than animals on hay and commercial feeds. One of the ‘sweet spots’ for this kind of operation will be local finishing of lambs.”

The concept of controlled growth of sprouted fodder has been used successfully in Australia for years, where widespread drought has caused critical problems for feed production.

The sprout mats are highly digestible and can be consumed with little to no waste.

“We suggest the daily dose should be one to three percent of the animal’s bodyweight in sprouts,” said Doore.

“The animals will have roughage quality and free choice. You can grow all grains, all legumes across the board. For my older broodmares, I sprinkle black oil sunflower seed and barley on the trays.”

The feed system offers about a 30 percent reduction in input costs and a reduction in manure output. Doore said the only primary variable going forward is seed costs.

“It also reduces labour time,” said Jongerden. “But what I really like is being able to provide dependable live feed especially in the fall and winter with the cows producing the same butterfat quality.”

Sun Roads Farmory offers different sizes of grow chambers and prices range from $10,500 plus shipping and taxes for the smallest unit, which is designed to provide feed for six to eight 1,100 pound animals daily. It will produce 16 tons of food per year.

The largest unit will provide daily feed for more than 60 animals and custom units can be built for larger herd sizes.

The mid-size system with delivery cost is about $18,000, which will feed 35 1,100 lb. animals per day, yielding around 99 tons of feed per year.

TRANSPORTATION | VOLUME RELATED COMPOSITE PRICE INDEX

Potato growers unhappy with contract

Agency reduces shipping calculation factor VRCPI decreases | Lower diesel fuel costs factored into formula that determines railway revenue caps

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Manitoba potato growers signed a contract with McCain Foods last week, but their prices won’t increase from last year.

Garry Sloik, manager of the Keystone Potato Producers Association, said it’s a relief to finally sign a deal for 2013, but production costs have risen so a deal without a price increase equates to a loss.

“It’s not necessarily good news in that we accepted a rollover price,” he said.

“So any cost increases this year are strictly out of the grower’s pocket.”

McCain’s and Manitoba potato growers had been locked in a stalemate over the last few months.

McCain’s had offered a five percent price decrease, but producers were unwilling to accept that deal.

Growers are disappointed because Simplot, the other potato processor in Manitoba, had previously offered a slight price increase.

Contract language now allows Simplot to reduce its contract and match McCain’s lower price.

The contracts will also significantly reduce potato acreage in Manitoba.

“The acreage reduction is in the neighborhood of 9.5 to 10 percent,” Sloik said.

Manitoba producers grew 76,000 acres of potatoes last year.

A 10 percent decline would reduce acres to 68,400 acres.

The Canadian Transportation Agency has announced a decrease in the volume related composite price index, an inflation-related factor used to determine annual railway revenue caps.

The agency said in an April 30 news release that the VRCPI will decrease by 1.8 percent for the 2013-14 crop year.

The VRCPI is part of a formula used to determine how much revenue Canadian National Railway and Canadian Pacific Railway can gener-

ate each year for transporting western Canadian grain.

It is based on forecasted prices for key items such as railway labour, fuel, material and capital purchases.

The 1.8 percent decrease for 201314 is largely the result of diesel fuel costs that were lower than projected in 2012-13.

A reduction in leasing costs related to the withdrawal from service of CWB hopper cars was also a contributing factor.

CP is in the process of ending its leasing arrangements with CWB. By August, the railway intends to return

Let us

all of CWB’s hoppers cars and enter new leasing arrangements with other third-party leasing companies.

The VRCPI has tracked up and down since the railway revenue cap program was introduced in August 2000.

It has grown at an average annual rate of two percent since the 2000-01 crop year.

The CTA announced a VRCPI increase of 9.7 percent last year, which prompted farm groups to call for a review of VRCPI calculation procedures.

That increase was expected to boost the railways’ grain related rev-

enues by nearly $100 million in the 2012-13 crop year.

In 2011-12, the two railways generated gross revenues of $1.036 billion for moving western grain.

In recent years, VRCPI fluctuations have reflected the volatility of fuel prices, hopper car adjustments, capital costs and railway companies’ pension liabilities.

The rate was set at 1.2895 for 201213 and 1.2691 for 2013-14.

The reduced VRCPI will be applied in December 2014 when the Canadian Transportation Agency calculates revenue caps for 2013-14 crop year.

WTO members pick new director

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

A Brazilian diplomat with a history of leading his country’s fight against farm subsidy programs in the United States and Europe will be the new World Trade Organization director general.

Roberto Carvalho de Azevedo, Brazil’s 55-year-old ambassador to the WTO, also led a successful challenge against Canadian aerospace subsidies.

He was selected the new W TO director general last week after weeks of informal consultations a mong the orga n iz at io n ’s 1 5 9 members about who among the nine nominated candidates should win.

The WTO general assembly is confirming the selection this week.

Azevedo won because he was considered to have the broadest support from the developed and developing countries and the various blocs within the organization.

His term begins in September.

The Canadian government did not reveal its preferred candidate, but trade minister Ed Fast quickly laid down the Canadian markers for what the new W TO director general should make as his priorities: fight protectionism and re-establish WTO credibility.

EQUIPMENT | PLANTERS AND DRILLS

Electric future ahead for precision planting Innovations | Planters and drills are expected to adopt more precise electric drive systems

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

PORTAGE LA PRAIRIE, Man. — Electric drive systems will gradually become the norm as farmers demand greater precision in their seeding systems, says independent agricultural consultant Bill Lehmkuhl.

Lehmkuhl said when Kevin Anderson first installed Norac electric motors on his metering systems 15 years ago, he introduced a technology that will eventually become the standard of the industry.

“Electricity gives you instantaneous response,” he said.

“There’s no pause or hesitation.

You can dial it in and very precisely fine tune your planter.”

Electric motors make variable rate and individual row unit control more viable, he added.

Electric motors have a clear advantage over components typically operated by mechanical, hydraulic or pneumatic means as energy cons u m p t i o n o n f a r m e q u i p m e nt becomes more of a factor.

“Electric motors are consistent and uniform from zero percent to 100 percent in both power delivery and r.p.m.,” he said.

“Regulation of electricity is more precise than any other power source.

That makes it more accurate for any type of precision seed placement function on a planter or a drill. Electric drive metering is where the manufacturers will eventually go.

They’ll be able to eliminate all those chains and sprockets and gears.

They’ll do away with drive shafts and reduce hydraulic requirements and give the grower a better machine.

The entire metering system will be simpler, with fewer parts.”

Lehmkuhl said centre pivot irrigation is a good example of how electrical control can work to the benefit of the grower. A lot of growers plant in a circle to match the pattern of the centre pivot wheels.

With electric metering, it’s possible to have individual control on each row unit. Inside row units travel a shorter distance with each lap of the field while outer row units travel a longer distance with each lap.

Individual meter control lets the operator write a prescription map that ensures uniform plant population. Every row unit is individually controlled so every foot of every row has exactly the same seed singulation and fertilizer rate.

“That will also eliminate a lot of these aftermarket add-on clutches.

It’ll all be built right into the meter.”

Eliminating aftermarket equipment will not be good news for manufacturers specializing in that area. There’s probably no piece of farm equipment that is subject to as much modification as the corn planter. It’s no joke

when people say a corn planter is nothing more than a platform on which to hang aftermarket products.

Farmers for whom corn is a secondary crop say the cost of a new planter forces them to keep fixing, modifying and upgrading the older unit. They say the aftermarket usually supplies good equipment.

Lehmkuhl said he had good results with some aftermarket kits on his farm in Ohio and not such good results with others. One of the modifications that stand out for him is the V-Set conversion kit that turns an older finger-style meter into a vacu-

um meter system.

A finger style meter might get close to 99 percent singulation when everything is brand new or freshly overhauled, but they quickly begin to lose their ability to singulate seed and the percentage drops.

“We had a Kinze finger planter,” he said.

“No matter what we did, the very best singulation we got coming off the meter was simply not very good.

It was always under 98 percent. So we installed a V-set vacuum meter kit.

After that, the planter would do 99.8 to 100 percent singulation. We got

those results regardless of seed size, rounds versus flats, different seed rates, seed weight, it just didn’t matter. It was always close to 100 percent with the V-set.”

He said the conversion was not a big project. They added the vacuum fan and pipes to the planter, plus hoses to make the vacuum work. After that it was just a matter of bolting the meters to the bottom of the seed boxes.

The seed firmer is another option, which Lehmkuhl said is worth the money. This tongue-like springy device travels along the bottom of the seed trench to lightly pack down seed for better contact with the soil. The poly material lets it slide without collecting mud.

Lehmkuhl said serious corn growers understand the importance of seed depth, seed spacing and singulation. However, he said they’re not always as aware of the importance of tractor speed in the field.

“The smoothness of your planter’s ride is critical. Ride plays a big role in how accurately the metering system singulates the seeds,” he said.

“A rough ride makes the meter hang onto some seeds too long and bounces other seeds off too soon. A rough ride also affects how the seed goes down the seed tube. If you slow down so you feel a smoother ride, then your planter will do a better job for you.”

Lehmkuhl said automatic control of down force is a relatively new feature that helps corn growers achieve more precise seed placement.

John Deere and Precision have an active down force system driven by air. Precision also has a hydraulic down force system called Delta Force that has both lift and down pressure.

Ag Leader and Dawn Equipment are working together on a hydraulic auto down force system.

Corn growers who strive for excellence in setting up their planters notice that each little improvement or adjustment puts more bushels in the bin. The ability to make adjustments from the cab has been a major step forward in allowing operators to fine tune their planters on the go.

WEED OF THE WEEK: DANDELION

BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Like many plants we now call weeds, dandelion was brought to the new world as a useful plant. It has a history of being used as a medicinal herb and as food and feed for people and livestock.

It might be an annoyance in a lawn, but it causes significant yield reductions in grain and alfalfa fields.

The dandelion was relegated to ditches and pastures in the days of tillage, but reduced tillage and continuous cropping have created a nearly ideal environment for the pest. A few applications of peony herbicides or a half rate of glyphosate in the spring merely reduces the perennial weed’s competition.

The tap-rooted pest, which is formally known as taraxacum officinale, survives most shallow tillage, such as that of a vertical till unit or the trusty discer.

The single taproot is vulnerable to cultivation, provided it cuts below the growing point. In the days of cultivation, the weed was usually vanquished only after a sequential pass by the rod weeder, turning the weed’s root skyward.

Some research indicates that the weed has a limited effect on the yields of forage crops such as alfalfa and is highly palatable to livestock where alfalfa and grass pastures are grazed.

seed crops and is often the main reason for removal or rotation of those perennial stands.

It can be a significant problem in fall seeded cereals if not controlled with a full rate of glyphosate or a combination of glyphosate and a Group 2 or 4 product ahead of seeding.

Its significant stored-belowground resources helps it tolerate over-grazing and will often be the last plant standing in abused pastures.

Chemical control of dandelion

began in the 1940s with the introduction of phenoxy herbicides.

The use of 2,4-D and other products produced limited results, but could reduce stands of the weed when applied to grass pastures and hay land in the fall, along with summer grazing.

A little epinastic bending of the plant might signal pesticide success in many plants, but with dandelion it often shows only that there will be a delay in the pest’s seed production.

Early spring or late fall are the best times to spray dandelions, with fall applications being the most successful. The plants can be effectively controlled with herbicide only when they are small or actively growing.

Research at the University of Manitoba has shown that seed produced in the fall often doesn’t initiate many new plants in the spring. This is one of the keys to successful control of the plant.

New seedlings are generally from mid-season flowerings of mature

plants that have escaped spring burnoff, a pre-harvest glyphosate regime or a pulse crop desiccation.

The plants are in a semi-dormant state when in the dry, shaded conditions of a mature prairie crop and as a result are less vulnerable to control.

In many cases, those applications might kill off the tops, leaving the root and a few leaves to start over with new growth in late August or September.

Research at Agriculture Canada and the University of Saskatchewan has shown that this is when the plant is most vulnerable: it has drawn on its resources and will be subject to the ravages of winter in only a month or two.

Applications of full rates of glyphosate to the plants’ leaves ahead of significant frost damage provide control of the weed and kill late germinated plants. Additions of other tank mixed broadleaf products can in some cases enhance control, according to research co-ordinated by the Saskatchewan Soil Conservation Association a decade ago.

Products that improve the spring effectiveness of glyphosate, such as DuPont’s Express, Dow’s Prepass and BASF’s Heat are useful in spring control strategies, but might control only the weeds’ tops, depending on the health of the plants.

Applications of 2,4-D are effective in pastures and alfalfa hay land before the first frost or when the legume is less than 10 centimetres tall in the spring.

Join the movement.

Optimize weed control with an integrated weed management plan on farm.

The potential for herbicide resistant weeds has been a reality for decades. While the concern is significant to growers, it is also manageable. There are a number of actions you can take to start clean and stay clean.

HAY | TIPS

Best bets for bountiful batches of bales Hay is money | Every detail, from choosing which plants to grow and when to cut and bale can make money or lose it

BY REBECA KUROPATWA FREELANCE WRITER

Making high quality hay bales that preserve quality, maximize protection from the weather and are easy to store and transport all comes down to following a few rules, says Glenn Friesen, provincial forage specialist with Manitoba Agriculture.

Production • Soil test, and fertilize according to the soil test. Most stands lack fertilizer, with many producers underestimating the need.

• Plant species with similar regrowth patterns. Smooth brome is not ideal for alfalfa because there is mostly grass in the first cut and mostly alfalfa in the later cuts. Better choices include meadow brome and orchard, depending on the soil type.

• Cut early, in the bud to late bud stage, which will give the highest

amount of energy and protein harvested per acre. It’s cheaper to blend down hot feed than to try to add energy to poor feed.

• Cutting in the rain can sometimes be the best option for green hay.

Start cutting about a day before the rain will end, giving hay the maximum time to dry in the swath after the rain is done. This can be done only with wide swaths.

• Manage cutting heights. Cutting alfalfa or grass mixtures at four inches allows grasses to survive better, so farmers will tend to see grasses begin to dominate over time. Cutting them at two inches will weaken grasses, so alfalfa flourish more. Cutting higher also reduces soil on the swath. Soil shows up as ash in the feed test, and ash is of no nutritional value to livestock. Ash is also a carrier of bad bacteria, which will hasten spoilage if baled too wet or challenge the fermentation process if making chopped or baled silage.

Now your glyphosate can blast even the toughest weeds with the help of Nuance® – designed specifically to turn up the heat on your glyphosate for pre-seed burndown. New from Cheminova.

Extra kick for glyphosate. At a price that won’t hurt.

• If raking, do it when the plant is at least 40 percent moisture, especially alfalfa, and when there’s a dew on it to avoid leaf loss. This is key for legume hays, while grass hay can tolerate more aggressive raking.

Baling • Do whatever possible to bale the swath within three days of cutting.

An extra wide swath is key. Typically, swaths should be two-thirds the width of the discbine.

• Use buffered propionic acid when baling a little on the wet side, up to 25 percent moisture or according to product labels. Using acid can help harvest a day earlier, which can mean the difference between $50 per tonne hay and $150 per tonne.

• Merging hay swaths reduces the number of trips that farmers need to make on the field with rakes and balers, which reduces the damage

on the next cut. Losses in the tire tracks can be as high as 30 percent of the next cut’s yield. Farmers should remember that they can cover one-third of their fields with all the tractor and truck passes from cutting to removing the bales.

• Consider net wrap instead of twine for fewer leaf losses when tying in the baler. Only one to 1.5 turns in the baler are required. Thirty percent quicker baling sheds water better.

• If using a round baler, fill the chamber evenly from side to side. This is much easier to do with a wide swath.

• Building a hay shed saves money in the long run. Bales that aren’t stored properly can lose five to 18 percent of their weight over the winter, which can be 243 pounds of hay in each 1,350 lb. bale. At four cents a lb., that’s $9.72 per bale. Compare this to two percent losses under a steel roof. It doesn’t take long to see that building a pole shed can pay.

Other tips from Friesen: • Consider using buffered propionic acids to bale a little earlier, to avoid rain and reduce leaf losses. Biological preservatives (bacterial and enzyme inoculants) are cheaper but inconsistent. Go with acid if you have a lot of ash in your swath.

• Get out of the tractor and check your baler and the first bales from a field to ensure the density and shape of the bales are correct.

Adjusting a baler to produce high quality bales is relatively straightforward.

• Start with swaths that are uniform in width and in the amount of hay they contain to ensure bales are consistent in shape and density.

Swaths that are as large as possible to meet the baler capacity help minimize the amount of loss during the baling process when hay is at its driest and most subject to leaf loss from handling.

EQUIPMENT | TILLAGE

A harrowing experience at 10 m.p.h.

Seeking better tillage | Some discs till deeper and more aggressively than others

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

BRANDON — It’s late June, past the crop insurance deadline. Eight thousand soggy acres still need to be seeded to canola. Tractors move but drills and carts sink.

That’s the situation Morris Feduk of Melville, Sask., faced 11 months ago.

Always one to try pulling a magic rabbit out of his hat, Feduk floated on a blend of fertilizer plus five pounds per acre of canola seed.

His crew hooked the tractors up to Feduk’s four Lemken Heliodor disc harrows and began incorporating seed and fertilizer at speeds in the range of nine m.p.h.

“It was June 20, so what was I supposed to do?” Feduk said.

“At that point, I’m gambling with my own money only. There’s nothing to fall back on if it fails.”

Are five lb. of seed really enough in those conditions? And what about r unning disc harrows at those speeds?

“They tell us the regular rate of five pounds allows for lots of mortality.

I’d say five lb. is plenty when you’re harrowing in like this. We weren’t short on plant populations by any means,” he said.

“Sometimes when it’s too wet, the canola gets over-packed, but that wasn’t the case at all, even at the higher speeds with those harrows.

You have to remember the seeds don’t go down as deep as what you’re working. They go down about half that depth. We run these harrows shallow, so it worked out about right. Just so the seed gets covered in moist soil.”

Lemken disc harrows have 19 packer options, said Lemken dealer Kellen Huber of Tri-Star Farm Services, but fewer than six are applicable to prairie conditions.

One of the Heliodors on Feduk’s farm had the large single roller and the other three had the double basket option. Feduk said the double basket packers did the best job of incorporating canola seed.

“The yields were nothing fantastic,” Feduk said of last year’s seeding.

“But when you don’t start seeding until June 20, what can you expect.

The stuff was reasonable, around 30 bushels per acre. And nothing under 20. We have a few fields right now looking pretty wet. I’ll save them until last. If we have to blow it on and harrow it in again, well, that’s what we’ll do. We know it works.”

Huber said Lemken has introduced two high-speed disc harrows to Western Canada.

The Heliodor units used by Feduk are intended for light surface disturbance. They are light duty machines with 18 inch notched discs on five inch centres and work at a maximum depth of only three inches. Huber said it’s ideal for incorporating broadcast canola at three-quarters of an inch while running at the high ground speed of nine to 10.5 m.p.h.

Lemken uses notched discs because its research has shown that round discs eventually get flat spots or become egg shaped and stop turn-

ing. A notched disc keeps turning despite the wear pattern.

The other Lemken disc harrow is the Rubin, designed for heavy work. Huber said it has 24 inch notched blades on five inch centres, operates at a depth of six inches and has a recommended

ground speed of 9.5 m.p.h.

Huber said the Rubin is not a vertical tillage machine.

“Vertical tillage is a bastardized name, which a lot of people jumped on thinking it just had to do with a disc running up and down. But real-

ly, vertical tillage refers to the ability to work across the entire width of the tool at about a 1.5 inch depth. So the Rubin is not vertical tillage. The Rubin is meant to cut hard soils, weedy areas, plow down in corn and beans, breaking up sod, B.t. corn

stalks and root balls.”

He said the Rubin won’t destroy hybrid corn root balls, but the concave notched discs do a good job of ripping them out of the ground and cutting and shredding them. The discs are six millimetres wide and each disc is independently mounted with spring down pressure.

“As for corn stalks that’ve been grazed, it chews them up into lengths seven or eight inches and leaves them on the surface to decompose.”

Long maintenance intervals for the Rubin and Heliodor are possible because of the arrangement of double row axial angular ball bearings.

The bearings require no regular maintenance or lubrication because of the internal six-fold labyrinth rubber seal ring.

The unique geometry of the Lemken bearing design puts the forces into the centre of the bearing, which is the strongest point.

SENATE | AGRICULTURE COMMITTEE

Rising farm debt loads a concern for agricultural lenders Challenges ahead | Low interest rates are creating a false sense of security, says TD Canada Trust official

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Two senior Canadian bank agricultural leaders say the level of Canadian farm debt could be a problem for the sector when interest rates begin to rise.

During a recent appearance before the Senate agriculture committee, representatives of the Canadian Bankers’ Association and five of its large national chartered banks said the booming agricultural sector is a major driver of their business on which they spend billions of dollars servicing.

However, debt levels became an issue when they were asked what challenges are looming.

Canadian farm debt levels have risen 150 percent in the past two decades to yearly record levels, and the 2012 Statistics Canada numbers scheduled to be released in late May are expected to show another record debt level of more than $70 billion.

Stacey Schrof, manager of agriculture for TD Canada Trust, said much of the optimism that lenders see in the agricultural sector is driven by high commodity prices and record low interest rates.

“I am concerned that we have been in the low interest-rate environment for quite some time,” she said.

“People get used to these rates and think they will stay forever. The responsibility of a financial institution is to educate our clients. Can the operation sustain the impact of a five percent interest rate or a seven percent interest rate? What does that do to the bottom line?”

David Rinehart, director of agriculture and agribusiness for BMO, echoed the concern.

“Without question, debt is escalating and will continue to escalate in the sector,” he said.

“In many respects, it has been predicated on a very low interest rate environment. I remind people when I can that it was just six years ago that interest rates were twice as high as they are today.”

He said many clients are shocked at the implication.

“If you ask anybody, regardless of the industry they are in, whether they can tolerate an interest rate that is twice as high as they are paying today, the response more often than not is ‘no.’ ” He said BMO advises clients to prepare for interest rate fluctuations by hedging interest rate impacts.

“The problem, as with any business, is that if every dollar you earn is earmarked for debt service, then there is little latitude whatsoever for experimentation.”

Royal Bank of Canada agriculture national manager Gwen Paddock said the environment is a looming farm challenge.

“Agriculture needs to be proactive in adopting farm practices that are scientifically based and where the impact on the environment is managed and minimalized,” she said.

“If it is not done, then we risk losing our social licence to produce, in particular livestock production.”

The bankers were optimistic and saw agriculture as an innovative sector, but they said farmers should not expect banks to bankroll research and development plans in the industry.

“Because of the business model of the banks, because we are using depositors’ money to finance farms, when depositors put money into the bank they expect to get it back,” said CBA economic analysis director Alex Ciappara.

New funding available for processors

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Ottawa and Regina will spend $10 million over the next five years to help agricultural businesses improve their manufacturing processes.

The Saskatchewan Lean Improvements in Manufacturing program will help companies adopt practices and technologies to become more productive and efficient.

Conservative MP Ray Boughen and provincial agriculture minister Lyle Stewart announced the program May 10 at Thunder Creek Pork in Moose Jaw. Tony Martinez, president of Thunder Creek’s parent company, Donald’s Fine Foods, said the program will give companies extra incentive to improve processes.

“Our goal is to produce top-quality products, and if we can find a more efficient way to serve our clients’ needs, we will look at any and all opportunities,” he said.

Eligible businesses include those involved in the value-added processing of food, feed and bioproducts.

Companies can apply for funding through SLIM to undergo “lean gap” analysis, purchase equipment, modify facilities and train staff.

Eligible costs include consultant fees and expenses directly related to the analysis assessment. The program will pay up to 50 percent of these costs, to a maximum of $20,000 per applicant.

The maximum for equipment, m o d i f i c at i o n s a n d t ra i n i n g i s $500,000 per applicant, also at 50 percent.

SLIM is one component of Growing Forward 2.

NEWS CHARITY | DRIVE AWAY HUNGER

FCC food drive sets goal of five million pounds Annual FCC campaign is in its 10th year

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Dale Snider was district manager at a Farm Credit Canada office in Listowel, Ont., almost nine years ago, servicing southwestern Ontario beef country and surrounded by misery.

BSE had struck in Alberta the previous year and international markets were closed to Canadian exports.

Farm communities were hurting and rural food banks in the area had a surge in clients.

“I saw farmers producing some of the best food in the world and yet many were having a hard time putting food on their own tables,” he said. “It was a really depressing time.”

Based on what he saw as the FCC ethic of being involved in the community as well as the help-yourneighbour ethos of his Mennonite faith, Snider decided to do something about it.

He was about to go on vacation and decided to use his time driving a tractor and wagon through the farmland and small towns of Perth, Grey and Bruce counties collecting food and donations for food banks.

FCC put up a $20,000 donation and he promised to match it with donations or the equivalent of 20,000 pounds of food.

The FCC Drive Away Hunger program was born and in the almostdecade since, FCC employees have organized annual food drives that have collected more than nine million pounds of food and $760,000 for food banks.

The 10th annual campaign was launched last week at the Ottawa Food Bank warehouse.

FCC set a goal of five million lb. of food or equivalent donations, more than half of what it has collected in nine years.

The crown corporation began t h i s y e a r ’s c a m p a i g n w i t h a $100,000 donation to Food Banks Canada to promote Hunger Awareness Week and food banks, with particular attention to rural food banks.

“This is a tremendous program and I congratulate FCC for this, agriculture minister Gerry Ritz said during the campaign launch.

Canadian Food Banks executive director Katharine Schmidt said the Drive Away Hunger campaign is one of the 10 largest annual food drives in the country.

The focus this year will be food and donations collection in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, Quebec and Prince Edward Island.

The campaign continues until World Food Day in October. Rural food banks will be the priority.

Schmidt said food bank use is growing in Canada despite the country’s wealth.

More than one million Canadians, many of them children, are “walking through the doors of a food bank each year for assistance.”

Budget crisis puts sheep on chopping block Sheep sale | University looks to reduce maintenance costs by selling flock of sheep

BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The University of Saskatchewan’s flock of 300 sheep has not escaped the latest round of budget cuts.

The university will soon sell the flock as part of its ongoing efforts to shear tens of millions from its operating budget.

Sheep have been kept on campus since 1911.

“While we are dispersing the sheep flock, we are not divesting the use of sheep in teaching and research opportunities,” said Mary Buhr, dean

of the agriculture college.

She said selling the sheep flock will reduce maintenance costs. The limited budget for campus farm activities will focus on poultry, dairy and beef, and the school will buy sheep as needed for future student learning opportunities and research.

“The college values providing an experiential learning experience to students, and that isn’t changing,” said Buhr, pointing to the new Rayner dairy research and teaching facility that will include an interpretive gallery and overhead walkway showcasing modern dairy and agriculture

production systems.

The popularity of a sheep production course that was launched last winter surprised some at the university, said Fiona Buchanan, a professor in the college’s animal and poultry science department who taught the program. She said few students were initially expected, but the enrolment cap was raised twice to accommodate demand.

“I don’t like the decision to close the sheep unit, but I understand it is based on the current financial situation the university finds itself,” she wrote in an email.

“The sheep class will proceed and we will try to bring sheep in for it, but obviously it is not as ideal as having a breeding sheep flock.”

She said a permanent flock offers opportunities students won’t otherwise be able to experience. Other users of the flock will also be displaced, she added.

Coinciding with the recent infusion of student interest in sheep is the growing producer interest in Saskatchewan. A recent report indicates the number of registered ewes climbed to 68,000 last year from 60,000 in 2011.

LAKE SPREADING | FEED

Flooded land forces feed shortage Hauling feed | Rising waters are testing the economics of ranching in Manitobaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Interlake region

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

WO ODL ANDS, Man. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Or val Procter is finally past having to haul feed to his farm, something he did again this winter.

Now heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting ready to ship his cattle off the farm for the summer.

He doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to do either of those activities, but they are sad facts of life for farmers living near the swollen Shoal Lakes of Manitobaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Interlake region, which was once prime cattle country. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing OK, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s costing me a fortune,â&#x20AC;? Procter said on a warm spring day as his few functional pastures slowly started to green up and his calves and cows waited for new growth to become big enough to eat.

Unfortunately, Procter has so little pasture and hayland left that the econ o m i c s o f h i s h e rd hav e b e e n wrecked and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reduced his herd size by a quarter.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a common situation around the lakes.

Farmers who had self-sufficient cattle operations now have to haul in feed during the winter and ship their cattle off the farm during the summer to places that have pasture.

Farmers in this region are victims of a forgotten flood, which has been occurring since 2004 as lake levels steadily rise and spread wide across cattle country.

Road construction in the region cut off the landlocked lakesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; drainage channels decades ago, which previously allowed water to seep out and kept levels and the shoreline stable.

The water now has nowhere to go. It rises and falls in fits and starts but keeps getting higher and wider.

Procter has lost the use of two parcels of pasture and hayland that he owns directly. As well, only 100 acres of a 1,900 acre piece of crown lease that he and some relatives use now have grass. The rest has become part of the Shoal Lakes, which used to be a kilometre and a half away.

The flat land here at the bottom of glacial Lake Agassiz doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t handle excess water well. A few centimetres spread far across the landscape.

Lake levels have increased by two

Orval, left, and Fred Procter are taking on additional costs this year because rising lake levels have limited access to pastures and hayland on their Manitoba ranches. | ED WHITE PHOTO and a half metres since 2004 and the 2011 floods caused them to rise to more than three metres above pre2004 levels. Since then they have fallen only one metre.

It was hard to imagine Procterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flooded land supporting cattle during a recent tour, but the ghosts of productivity could still be seen.

Barbed-wire fence lines ran across plains of still water, with seaweed hanging from the barbs. A stranded corral formed an island at the end of a sunken road.

Patches of dead, drowned trees stood far off in the distance. Until a few years ago they were 400 metres from the shoreline, on the dry side, but now are hundreds of metres

inside the lake.

As Procter talked about this land, which his family has farmed since the 1880s, an all-terrain vehicle came sloshing and bumping along the saturated road from the opposite direction. Procter recognized his cousin, Fred, 82, who also farms land lying near the lake shore. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Quite a sight, isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it?â&#x20AC;? Fred said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We used to have cattle out there, you know.â&#x20AC;?

The Procter cousins looked across the land, now lost to agricultural productivity, but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem bitter.

They remarked cheerfully on the pelicans, cormorants and waterfowl that now make their homes here, along with millions of frogs and bil-

lions of reeds.

Fred, who farms with his son, has also downsized his herd by about a quarter because of the chronic lack of feed in the area. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a common story around the lakes.

Procter said most farmers just want to be able to go back to being selfsufficient in feed, but that would require engineering work to allow water to seep out of the end of the lakes and pass under and through the roads that caused the problem.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something neither federal nor provincial governments have been willing to fund.

Instead, many farmers are involved in protracted buyout and compensation negotiations with the provincial

RESEARCH | CATTLE

Researchers toil to make safe, tastier meat Meet the team at Lacombe, Alta. | Agriculture Canada’s research centre has a century-long history of innovation

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

LACOMBE, Alta. — The contributions of a small team of meat scientists toiling in the laboratories at Agriculture Canada’s Lacombe Research Centre have often gone unsung.

Over the years, the internationally trained scientists have been responsible for developing a beef grading program and inventing food safety systems employed throughout North America.

They have also made landmark discoveries to make red meat a more healthy, high quality product by collaborating with researchers from Alberta Agriculture and the University of Alberta.

The centre is located on the outskirts of Lacombe and has been in operation for more than 100 years.

Work starts with the animal acting as a living laboratory, with researchers evaluating its reaction to feed rations, handling, disease and stress.

The research herd of 350 crossbred beef cows and an 80 sow unit are raised in a commercial setting.

The centre has also worked with sheep, bison, deer, elk, emu and ostrich.

“Everything is done in a commercial type manner. That’s one of the things we try to do so any of our research will be transferable to industry,” said Jennifer Aalhus, who studies meat quality and sensory evaluation.

Canada must fit the quality specifications of customers at home and abroad. As well, the industry needs to continue to promote the healthful-

ness of red meat, which can be proved with research.

“We are an export country exporting to different markets and you better understand what those markets are. Different consumers prefer different things,” Aalhus said.

Those willing to do the extra work on the farm could perhaps be rewarded if scientists can prove the healthful benefits of meat achieved with specialized feeding regimes or genetic improvements.

Scientists such as Mike Dugan and William Caine have developed strategies that use distillers grain to improve beef’s trans fatty acid composition and oilseeds to increase polyunsaturated fatty acids.

Pigs have been fed conjugated linoleic acid to reduce carcass fat and increase lean meat, while omega 3 pork has been produced by feeding pigs a flax based diet.

Caine, who studies meat bionutrients and health, said the red meat industry has been demonized in the media for many years.

“More recent research has shown that there are very important health products in meats,” he said.

“Can we develop healthy beef and if

Scientists look at ways to improve the quality of beef through genetics, environmental factors, feed and animal management. | FILE PHOTO we can, what is its impact on the human condition if you eat it? We hope we can show that eating beef is good for you.”

At the molecular level, scientists such as John Meadus are narrowing down quality to the lowest denominator and looking at the benefits of various fats such as CLA, omega 3 based on DHA, fish oil and vitamin E. “These are all factors that have an influence on the cellular level,” Meadus said.

Modern producers often hope to improve meat quality through breeding and analyzing the DNA of individual breeding animals.

The science of phenomics has emerged to measure animals’ physical traits, environmental influences and DNA. DNA information accounts for only 30 to 40 percent of carcass quality with the rest of the influence coming from environmental factors such as climate, feed and farm management.

The chances of producing better beef increase if these factors are combined.

“You can have the best genetics in the feedlot and then you go to the plant and the way they handle the carcasses has an influence,” said Manuel Jaurez.

“Genomics has information but it cannot solve everything by itself,” he said.

Jaurez said the evolution of the Beef Information E xchange System (BIXS) has taken his research to the next step because it has the ability to provide thousands of data points on carcass results from the major packers in the last year.

“Now you have thousands of animals with genomic information plus the carcass,” he said.

“We can get information from the cow-calf to the feedlots and the carcass from the plant. Once you have that information you can sort quality.”

Buyers head to classic for large and unique High sellers | A pair of Percherons sold for $4,300 each

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

OLDS, Alta. — People who love mighty giants have been coming to Olds for the last 18 years to attend the Wild Rose Draft Horse Classic.

Organizer Bruce Roy of Cremona, Alta., said the idea began with a show but soon became a weekend sale event for people looking for well broke horses, tack and wagons.

They might want a matched pair of grey Percherons or unique mules for driving at shows, 4-H projects or working the farm, he said at the event held May 3-4.

“There are a lot of horses used in the recreation industry, but there are still a lot of farms who use them for feeding livestock, particularly during a bad winter,” he said.

Some saddle broncs at rodeos are the result of infusing draft horse breeding, he added.

He said prices and demand have held steady for the draft sector, which includes Percherons, Belgians, Clydesdales and Shires.

Janice Rutherford made the 15 hour trip from her grain farm near Grosse Isle, Man., hoping to sell her matched set of grey Percherons and two Morgans.

The horses have been her special hobby for the last 10 years. She owns

10 but her children have grown up and moved away, and she needs to reduce her work load.

“Usually I’m the crowd pleaser,” she said of her grey geldings.

Greys start out black but change colour over time. They are considered a rare find because it is difficult to find a well matched pair.

Rutherford’s pair, Nash and Titan, sold for $3,100 each to Cathy Ollenberger of Saskatoon.

Levi Thompson of Breton, Alta., drove out a pair of mules whose dam was a Fjord horse and sire was a mammoth jack donkey born at Good Grief, Idaho.

Heads turn when people see their unique golden colouration and a wide black strip down their backs that continues to the tails.

“People are looking for teams of good broke mules,” said Denise Thompson.

The family was selling the pair for a friend from Nelson, B.C. Seventy-one horses sold for an average of $1,707 May 4, with bidders from Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia, Colorado, Nebraska and Washington.

The high selling team at $4,300 each was a pair of nine-year-old Percheron geldings consigned by Miles Wowk of Beauvallon, Alta., and sold to Bill McFadden of Vulcan, Alta.

Project to examine rat ecology, diseases and human exposure ANIMAL HEALTH

hile dogs are often cited as man’s best friend, rats are like an unwelcome relative that visits too long, damages the furniture and eats all the food.

The history of this common pest is remarkably well-described in the special features of Disney’s movie Ratatouille. It even mentions Alberta’s rat-free status.

There are more than 60 known species of rats, which are classified as rodents. Rodents comprise roughly 40 percent of all known mammals.

Rats are considered to be one of the most successful invasive species and have spread throughout the world to nearly every place humans inhabit, with the exception of Alberta and Antarctica.

The Norway (brown) rat and the black (ship) rat are the two common pest species in cities. Norway rats are extensively used in medical research, and those with unique colours are prized pets among “fancy rat” enthusiasts.

Rats can survive on many different types of foods and thrive in areas with run-down infrastructure such as urban slums.

The importance of rat infestations is also expected to increase as the world’s population s becomes increasingly large and urbanized.

Rats’ impact on agriculture is difficult to accurately measure. They have the ability to destroy crops during production and can contaminate

storage facilities, causing massive amounts of grain to be discarded.

Rats also pose a significant health risk to people.

They were famously responsible for Europe’s Black Death, the plague outbreak that killed roughly onethird of the population in Europe.

The rat flea carries the bacterium that causes plague. When infected rats die, the fleas find the nearest warm body, which can be a person. The bacterium is transmitted to the new victim when the flea bites, and clinical illness can result.

Rats also carry other important bacteria and viruses that can cause disease in people but have no ill effect on the rodents: • They have their own type of hantavirus, which is related to the virus in deer mice.

• They frequently carry the bacterium leptospira, which causes Weil’s syndrome, a severe disease of the

liver and kidneys.

• Recent studies in Vancouver’s wild rats have shown they can carry a number of important antibioticresistant bacteria.

• As the name implies, rat bite fever results when bacteria in the rat’s mouth is introduced into a person’s skin following a bite.

Despite this risk, little is known about the diseases carried by rats in Canada.

The Vancouver Rat Project, led by veterinarian Dr. Chelsea Himsworth, is seeking to answer questions related to urban rat ecology, the diseases they carry and whether people have been exposed.

I’m working on the natural diseases of rats to determine their general health status as part of my training to become a veterinary pathologist.

Rat infestations significantly threaten biodiversity. For example, a number of unique birds and reptiles,

including the giant tortoise of the Galapagos Islands that is famous for inspiring Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution, are facing extinction from introduced rats.

Rats are especially good at eating eggs and nestlings, which leads to critical declines in population.

Rat eradication is expensive. For example, millions of dollars have been spent to eradicate rats from Campbell Island, New Zealand.

Risks to health and biodiversity are good reasons for continued funding to keep Alberta rat free and to continue eradication efforts in other provinces.

FULL SPEED AHEAD

Agriculture final hurdle for European trade talks Canada wants beef access, EU wants dairy access

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Agricultural issues remain the last sticking point in concluding a Canada-European Union trade deal by summer, the EU ambassador to Canada said last week.

Matthias Brinkmann told reporters at a May 9 Europe Day event that the lingering Canadian demand is for more beef access.

He said the EU has offered 40,000 tonnes or more of hormone-free and antibiotic free beef imports.

“The Canadians want more.”

The Canadian side said the number has not been formally offered and would be unacceptable.

The lingering European demand is more access for dairy products, including cheese and yogurt, said Brinkmann, although he did not offer a tonnage demand.

He said difficult issues are left to the end in most negotiations.

“Like in most negotiations, it is agriculture that is most difficult.”

Still, Brinkmann predicted a deal could be struck, although he said negotiations with the United States and Japan are stretching the EU’s attention span.

“We are quite satisfied it (CanadaEU talks) is progressing and we are hopeful we can conclude it in the short term, hopefully before summer,” Brinkmann said in unusually candid comments about an ongoing negotiation.

On agriculture, he said the issue is that Europe restricts beef imports because of the sensitivity of some EU beef-producing countr ies, while Canada protects its dairy industry.

“So we have to have a certain give and take,” he said.

Canadian Cattlemen’s Association president Martin Unrau said the 40,000 tonnes access offer has not been discussed with the industry.

“We have a number in mind as a minimum and that does not come close,” he said.

“But that number of 40,000 has not come up officially, so I don’t know where it comes from. It certainly does not represent adequate access as we see it.”

Unrau would not reveal the number that his industry is demanding for a successful negotiation.

“We have talked to the prime minister, (trade minister Ed) Fast and (agriculture minister Gerry) Ritz and they know what we need,” he said.

“For Canada, beef is and has to be an important part of any final deal.”

Canadian exports are typically less than 10,000 tonnes under existing EU rules.

The Europeans demand hormonefree beef and offer Canada a limited portion of a small quota on beef imports.

Any deal that increases Canadian beef access will require that it meet European anti-hormone standards.

FARM POLICY | DEPARTMENTAL SPENDING

Ag Canada asks for more funding Growing Forward 2 obligations | Requests would increase department budget by 10 percent

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

The federal government has asked Parliament to approve a $270 million increase in Agriculture Canada spending for the current fiscal year, reflecting obligations under the Growing Forward 2 federal-provincial agreement.

It raises the Agriculture Canada budget for the 2013-14 fiscal year by

more than 10 percent to $2.4 billion.

In supplementary spending estimates tabled in Parliament May 10, the government proposed $207 million to co-fund agreements with provinces for the second generation of Growing Froward programs.

“This funding is used to support cost-shared programming that is delivered by provincial and territorial partners,” said the spending estimates report to Parliament.

“The programming is focused on innovation, market development and industry capacity. The goal of this programming is to encourage a more competitive and responsive agricultural sector.”

The estimates that will be approved

by Parliament also include $47 million in business risk management financing.

“This funding will be used to provide financial support to farmers

against market volatility and agricultural disasters,” the department said.

There was no explanation of why the extra money is being budgeted or for which program.

Growing Forward 2 significantly reduces coverage and payouts under the two main BRM programs — AgriStability and AgriInvest — potentially reducing government obligations over five years by $2 billion or more.

Southern Alta. irrigation system ready for season

Irrigation systems in southern Alberta are charged and ready for use, but seeding is taking priority over water concerns, says an irrigation specialist.

Ron McMullin, executive director of the Alberta Irrigation Projects Association, said a few farmers have begun irrigating, but it wasn’t widespread as of May 13.

“There are some farmers who are having to irrigate up crops. The topsoil is kind of dry,” McMullin said.

“The issue has been getting seed into the ground for a lot of people because it was so cool for awhile and now it’s hot and dry.”

Ir r igation canals are usually charged in early May, after frost is out of the ground. However, there are always some farmers who would like water sooner.

“That’s always the challenge, is meeting the needs of those who need it early, versus frost.”

Most reservoir levels across the south are below capacity to allow for mountain runoff that will arrive in coming weeks.

Runoff for the Milk, Bow, Red Deer and North Saskatchewan river basins is expected to be average or slightly below average, while the Oldman River basin is expected to have average to slightly above runoff, according to Alberta Environment statistics.

Mountain snow pack is much above average in mountains that feed the Oldman basin and above average in those feeding the Bow. Elsewhere it is average or slightly below.

Alberta Agriculture reported May 6 that less than three percent of provincial crops had been seeded. The south is furthest ahead at about 10 percent.

Central Alberta had completed one

West Central Road and Rail | New grain marketers turn to producer car loader to source grain

The introduction of a competitive marketing environment in the grain industry is providing opportunities for a Saskatchewan producer owned grain company.

Rob Lobdell, president of West Central Road and Rail (WCRR), said the transition to an open market has gone as smoothly as anyone could have expected.

The marketing landscape has changed considerably, since the CWB monopoly was ended, but there have been no significant disruptions, he said.

“There are a lot of new entrants in the business,” said Lobdell, who described the transition as the most significant the industry has seen in 65 years.

“There are a lot of new faces, and a lot of those entities have no presence in Western Canada, so they need (access to) originating facilities. The key for us is we’ve got assets. We’ve got assets that need to be used — assets that need to be turned over — and we want to use them to aggregate grain.”

WCRR is located in a productive grain-growing area that covers thousands of square kilometres between Saskatoon and the Alberta border, which Lobdell said makes it perfectly situated to develop partnerships with those new entrants.

WCRR was formed in 1997 to prevent the abandonment of nearly 500 kilometres of Canadian National Railway branch line from Delisle, Sask., just west of Saskatoon, to Mantario, Sask., a few kilometres east of the Alberta border.

Farmers in the area initially contemplated buying the CN line to operate it themselves.

In addition to obvious concerns about moving grain to market, rural residents also feared that schools, businesses and families would soon follow suit if the railway disappeared.

The group eventually reviewed its priorities and options and approached CN with a case for maintaining the line.

A key element of the plan was a commitment by farmer-organizers to aggregate and load locally produced grain through a series of modern, efficient, farmer-controlled producer car loading facilities.

By taking control of grain collection and car loading, producers could help the railway reduce its operating costs while ensuring that area crops would still be moved on CN tracks rather than on its competitor’s, Canadian Pacific Railway.

The plan made sense to CN. Political pressure to maintain rail

services in rural Saskatchewan also served as a catalyst.

Not long after, WCRR was born.

An initial share offering targeting local farmers raised $1 million in start-up capital.

Construction on the company’s first producer car loading site followed two years later.

CN has since sold the branch line to Big Sky Rail Corp., one of a dozen or so short-line railway companies operating in Saskatchewan.

Big Sky provides train service, including car spotting from CN rail yards in Saskatoon to WCRR loading sites.

WCRR started with a single facility at Eston, Sask., and has since expanded to include producer car loading facilities in Beechy, Lucky Lake, Dinsmore and Laporte.

Plans are in place to develop a sixth location at Elrose, Sask., but timelines for it are not yet final.

Each facility in the WCRR network is built on a similar model, combining a 34-car siding with on-site storage of 3,000 tonnes.

At full capacity, each site stores enough grain to fill one 34-car spot, or one-third of a 100-car grain train.

The Eston facility cost $2.5 million.

Today, the same facility would cost $4 million.

Lobdell said dedicated local staff, modern facilities and a loyal producer base are keys to the company’s success. Farmers in the company’s catchment area produce as much as 700,000 tonnes of grain per year.

WCRR doesn’t source all of that grain.

We’ve got assets that need to be used — assets that need to be turned over — and we want to use them to aggregate grain.

ROB LOBDELL WEST CENTRAL ROAD AND RAIL

Delivery incentives offered by competing grain companies on CN’s Rosetown main line — about 40 km to the north — and CP’s Regina to Swift Current line — roughly an hour’s drive south — also attract local grain.

However, WCRR is easily the most visible buyer, accumulating the vast majority of grain produced in the region.

Modern facilities and automated processes at WCRR have reduced operating costs and enabled the company to offer competitive marketing options to local growers.

Systems are in place that allow WCRR to monitor the quality and quantity of on-farm grain stocks.

Computer programs use the data and monitor markets to identify the most profitable blending and mar-

keting opportunities.

Together, the systems enable the company to efficiently manage local grain supplies while offering competitive returns to customers.

“We’ve got a strong customer base, we’ve got volume, we have quality control systems and we have very efficient processes. That’s what we offer,” said Lobdell.

“People and companies that are new to the industry are looking to us to provide service as a grain aggregator. Those new players don’t have any assets … so their job is to find someone who can aggregate grain in the country, and someone on the port side as well, to handle that grain.”

He said changes during the past year have forced all players in the Western Canadian grain industry to be efficient and responsive to market needs.

For WCRR, that meant developing new relationships, maintaining beneficial arrangements and identifying new opportunities in aggregation and merchandising.

Lobdell said the new environment has presented challenges and opportunities for a small independent competing with established and well-capitalized line companies.

WCRR’s role will evolve, he added, but its strengths will always be based in grain origination and transloading, which are the functions on which the company was founded.

“Every one of the companies, big and small, had to be responsive,” Lobdell said.

Compensation can be more than a paycheque

CP unveils upgrade plans

PERSPECTIVES ON MANAGEMENT

TERRY BETKER

C

ompensation will become a more important topic in the years to come.

Farms are becoming larger and more complex, and more people are involved in many roles: ownership, management and labour.

Non-family members have key management roles in many farms.

For these reasons, understanding and proactively dealing with c o m p e n s at i o n i s i n c re a s i n g l y important.

Managing compensation can be challenging. People expect to be paid for the contribution they make to the business.

It can be a non-issue if done correctly, but get it wrong and people end up disappointed. In some situations, conflict can arise.

Surveys indicate that pay is not one of the top reasons why people will leave employment, but it can be a contributing factor.

Farm owners and managers should consider having an open discussion about compensation. Ideally, an outcome would be to come up with a plan that outlines how people will be compensated.

Compensation is generally in the form of pay, but there can be other forms as well.

Designing a compensation plan for a farm family business brings up the following questions: • What is fair pay among family members?

• How can a fair wage for family members and non-family employees be determined?

• How should shareholders be paid?

• How can disputes over pay be resolved?

• How should family assets be handled?

Farm families may find it helpful to develop a philosophy that supports the plan.

Compensation can include dividends, wages, bonuses, performance increases, loans, gifts such as housing, school, vehicles and training, and perks such as vehicles, vacations, trips and business-personal expenses).

It can also include ownership in the business and equity gains in land.

Having everyone agree on the philosophy should help make managing compensation less of an issue, keep everyone on the same page and avoid unnecessary conflict.

Here are questions that can be used to develop a compensation philosophy.

ception of need.

What will be the criteria by which base rates are increased?

Options include inflation, cost of living, company performance, need and merit.

What will be the timing of wage increases?

Will dividends be paid?

Even if your farm is unincorporated, the concept of “dividends” can still be applied.

Will dividends be based on equity growth or net income performance?

Will bonuses be paid?

What will bonuses be based on: seasonal, company performance, individual performance, training or education milestones?

What will be the philosophy around gifts or entitlements?

For example, all children receive a vehicle on their 17th birthday, all children receive four years of paid education, the family will go on one annual paid vacation, interest free loans or all children will receive a set amount of money toward their first home down payment.

Canadian Pacific Railway will spend an additional $75 to $100 million this year to upgrade tracks and signalling systems in Western Canada and parts of the United States.

In a May 7 news release, the Calgary-based railway company said it would increase 2013 capital spending to as much as $1.2 billion this year, up from the $1.1 billion that was originally budgeted.

Chief executive officer Hunter Harrison said the money will allow CP to fast-track system efficiency and safety upgrades originally slated for next year.

Fast-tracked projects include: • Track upgrade work including new ties, rails and ballasts at locations o n C P ’s n o r t h e r n m a i n l i n e between Winnipeg and Edmonton.

• Upgrades to signaling systems on the company’s Midwest main line running from Moose Jaw, Sask., to Chicago.

• The acquisition of core assets that CP would otherwise lease.

This will include ending its practice of leasing grain hopper cars from the CWB. “As our railway continues to trans-

form, we see opportunities to accelerate enhancements to key sections of our North American system,” Harrison said.

CP has had several recent derailments, including one in western Minnesota, which spilled nearly 60,000 litres of crude oil, and another between Thunder Bay and Sault Ste Marie, Ont., which spilled 65,000 litres.

In late April, 17 cars from a CP train carrying potash derailed near Provost, Alta.

CP has said the derailments were isolated incidents not related to its efforts to cut staff, reduce operating costs, improve service and boost the railway’s overall efficiency ratings.

The company said last year it will eliminate 4,500 to 6,000 jobs between 2012 and 2016.

In an April conference call with investors, Harrison said year-overyear figures show CP’s reportable derailments were up marginally but the severity of the incidents was lower and related costs were down.

“I can tell you that operating safely has been and always will be priority No. 1 at CP, and that focus is not going to change,” he said.

“As we continue to change this culture … not only are we going to perform well on the service side but we’re also going to perform well on

the safety side, so there’s more progress there to be made.”

CP recently reported net income of $217 million, or $1.24 per share, in the first quarter of this year, up 51 percent from the same period last year.

First quar ter operating ratio improved to 75.8 percent, down from 80.1 percent a year earlier.

Harrison called CP’s first quarter results the best in the company’s history, despite challenging winter conditions.

CP’s plan to acquire core assets will strengthen the company’s balance sheet, officials added.

The company is in the process of adjusting its grain hopper car fleet.

CP has said it will end its hopper car leasing agreement with CWB and will have returned all leased cars to the board by August 2013.

“CP has taken several steps to improve the productivity of its grain car fleet, including combining our Canadian and U.S. fleet into one Nor th Amer ican fleet and adjusting our fleet composition to improve its reliability and carrying capacity,” CP spokesperson Ed Greenberg said.

“Through these efforts it was determined the lower capacity CWB cars are no longer required as part of CP’s fleet.”
