WEATHER | PREDICTIONS

How long will the warm spell last? BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

What was expected to be a coolerthan-normal winter has, so far, seen balmy temperatures across the Prairies, and even rain in some centres. Through December, temperatures across the Prairies were much warmer than normal. Already in 2012, Calgary has seen successive days without freezing and, last week, Saskatchewan saw recordsetting temperatures across the province, with Maple Creek topping 16 C on Jan. 4. Positive temperatures persisted through the Jan. 7-8 weekend.

“I’m a little gun shy right now given the fact that we said it was going to be a colder than normal winter,” David Phillips, senior climatologist with Environment Canada, said last week during the winter heat wave. At the end of November, Environment Canada’s seasonal forecast projected below-normal temperatures for the entire prairie region, showing the effects of La Nina conditions. That projection has been updated for the three-month period January through February to show coolerthan-normal temperatures in the northern Prairies, but also normal temperatures in wheat-growing areas in the southern and central parts of the provinces and even milder weather in the southern regions along the Souris and Assiniboine rivers. It’s not uncommon for the province to see warm days in the middle of win-

ter, but what makes this year’s weather stand out is how it’s stayed warm. “It really has truly been a remarkable winter, but you can’t hold this,” said Phillips. “The bully is winter and the bully is sleeping and it will waken up and come and freeze.” The warmer autumn and winter can be linked to the positive phase of Arctic oscillation and a weak La Nina,

explained Drew Lerner of World Weather Inc. The positive phase has hung around longer than expected, but Lerner expects the weather pattern to enter its negative phase in the next few weeks, which should send colder air down to the surface. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

Weather forecasts mixed “It may not be cold all the time and it may not be bitterly cold because there doesn’t seem to be a tremendous amount of bitter cold air in the higher latitudes right now, but we will see colder conditions than what we’ve been seeing.” Colder temperatures, however, don’t necessarily mean increased precipitation and there hasn’t been a lot of that either. In Manitoba, Winnipeg has seen 27 centimetres of snow through to the end of last week. A normal year has 47 cm. “It’s like the totally opposite of last year,” said Phillips. “Last year was the perfect storm for flooding. This is the perfect storm for no flooding.” Keith Robertson, chief executive officer of the Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association, said conditions through the early part of January were generally favourable for his industry — warmer temperatures are friendlier to livestock — but “moisture is always in the forefront of our minds.” Relative to drought years, soil mois-

ture isn’t yet a concern, said Bruce Burnett, director of weather and market analysis with the Canadian Wheat Board. The lack of snow cover is an issue for winter cereals, but the region hasn’t seen enough cold to cause damage. Environment Canada’s projection for January through March shows above-average precipitation for most of the Prairies. But Lerner said that with a dry bias through the fall and early winter, belowaverage precipitation can be expected. “We’ll have a lot of cold air around and it’ll push the jet stream far to the south, so far to the south that we’ll not be involved with the jet stream or the storm track and so we’ll end up missing all the major storms,” he said. “If everything goes the way I think it will, we will have some snow to melt. It will not be substantial, but it will moisten up the topsoil maybe in the early days of spring a little bit,” he said. “We will have some moisture deficits in the region.” (With files from Reuters)

It’s a good year for winter wheat Seeded acres rebound | Higher yields, greater fusarium resistance make winter wheat appealing BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Winter wheat acreage is showing a comeback after two disappointing years. Statistics Canada reports 1.34 million acres of the crop were sown in fall 2011, which is about double the 695,000 acres planted in 2010 and 650,000 acres in 2009. “Winter wheat was a great solution for farmers who couldn’t seed this past spring,” said Paul Thoroughgood, regional agrologist with Ducks Unlimited Canada. He is pleased seeded acreage has returned to 2006-08 levels after uncooperative fall weather kept farmers off their fields in 2009 and 2010. “This year, I think a combination of

a few things probably brought (acreage) back, one of those certainly being the large unseeded area,” said Thoroughgood. The statistics were released on the eve of the Western Canadian Crop Production Show and Crop Production Week, which run Jan. 7-14 in Saskatoon. At Prairieland Park, where the trade show component is held, an optimistic mood circulated on the show’s opening day. Lori Cates, agriculture manager, said for the third year running the show is sold out with 307 exhibitors, 1,002 booths and a long waiting list to get in. The show is expected to surpass average attendance numbers of 16,500.

WINTER WHEAT | FROM PAGE TWO

Winter wheat acres rebound “I would anticipate that our attendance numbers are going to be high because of the weather and because of the optimism in the agriculture industry in Saskatchewan and the Prairies right now,” she said. Commenting on the winter wheat statistics, Thoroughgood said last year’s excessive spring moisture left more than six million acres unplanted and many producers responded by planting winter wheat on their chemfallow. As well, plenty of acres of canola stubble were available for winter wheat because of good fall weather. Farmers planted 580,000 acres of winter wheat in both Manitoba and Saskatchewan, while 175,000 acres were planted in Alberta. Thoroughgood said the crop has been a particularly good performer in Manitoba, where it has avoided some of the pitfalls associated with spring wheat, such as excessive spring moisture and fusarium infection. “Winter wheat has really been just blowing away the competing wheats as far as yield and profitability goes,” he said. Brian Beres, a research agronomist at Agriculture Canada’s Lethbridge Research Centre, is working to improve fall stand establishment. He is one year into a two or three year study, but the data is suggesting that seed treatments and fall application of a foliar fungicide are two ways to improve profitability. Beres compared plots planted in the fall of 2010 with a combination of fungicide and insecticide seed treatments to plots planted with untreated seed. The treated seed produced a significant yield improvement. “I was frankly a bit skeptical of how much gain we could get from a seed treatment, but so far it looks as though not only did it perform agronomically, but they performed economically too,” he said. “It was a large enough yield difference that it definitely paid for the use of the seed treatment.” The weaker the agronomic system employed, such as a low seeding rate o r t h i n s e e d , t h e s t ro n g e r t h e response to the seed treatment. Beres had even less faith in a fall application of a foliar fungicide, but it was a perfect year to test the theory because stripe rust was prevalent at test sites in Melfort, Sask., Scott, Sask., and Lethbridge. “In those three environments that fall, foliar significantly improved grain yield.” Beres said enough data was collected across the Prairies that he is confident in the seed treatment and foliar fungicide findings despite only one crop year of research. Thoroughgood said he needs to further investigate whether the improved vigour offered by seed treatments would allow growers to push back their seeding dates for winter wheat. “It is pretty exciting research,” he said. “If we could push that seeding window back one more week, I think it would give a lot more growers more opportunity.” The lack of snow cover is a big concern for growers who planted winter wheat this fall. Thoroughgood said they shouldn’t worry too much because the winter has been unusually mild. “Despite the fact that we don’t have snow, soil temperatures have been very warm. The winterkill to date has been virtually zero,” he said.

Financial troubles hit flax commission Crop Production Week | Check-off fees could be doubled as flax commission deficits mount BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The Saskatchewan Flax Development Commission is in deep financial trouble and will be asking growers to double the amount they pay in check-off dollars. The producer group posted a deficit of $158,242 for the year ended July 31, 2011, and is forecasting a similar-sized shortcoming of $147,700 for 2011-12. Declining revenue is blamed on a significant reduction in acres since the discovery of Triffid, a genetically modified flax variety, was found in a Canadian shipment to Europe. The commission has taken steps to cut back on expenses. No new research projects are being funded in 2011-12, and the board has cut back on meeting expenses by relying on conference calls. As well, the board is negotiating new contracts with the commission’s executive director and her staff for much reduced time commitments. “SaskFlax cannot cut our expenses any further before it ceases to be able to undertake any new research. We may have difficulty meeting commitments to projects already being done,” chair Lyle Simonson told delegates attending the commission’s annual convention during the first day of Crop Production Week in Saskatoon. “If we experience decreased acres in 2012, we will be forced to access our reserves that have been built up over the last several years.” That is why the commission is proposing a doubling of the producer levy to six cents per bushel. Simonson noted that the checkoff hasn’t increased since the commission was formed in 1997, when flax pr ices were around $6 per bu. Today’s prices are twice that amount. The proposed new checkoff works

The Saskatchewan Flax Development Commission will ask growers to double the amount they pay in checkoffs. | FILE PHOTO out to about 0.5 percent of the value of the crop, assuming an average price of $12 per bu. That is half of what Saskatchewan’s pulse growers pay. The commission plans to hold a special meeting in the next two to

three months, where the province’s flax producers will vote on the checkoff increase. They will be notified at least 15 days before the meeting. “I’m hoping that producers will support us,” said Simonson.

The commission also hopes producers and seed growers will support an initiative to replace supplies of CDC Bethune and CDC Sorrel with reconstituted seed starting this spring. Breeder seed of the two most popular flax varieties grown on the Prairies was found to be infected with Triffid. Breeders at the University of Saskatchewan’s Crop Development Centre grew out the original breeder seed, tested the plants for Triffid and sent the Triffid-free seed to GM-free New Zealand in the winter of 2011 for multiplication. That seed was further multiplied in Canada last year, tested and shipped back to New Zealand for further multiplication this winter. It will return to Canada this spring, where it will be distributed to select seed growers to multiply further in 2012 and 2013. The goal is to distribute the reconstituted seed to farmers in the spring of 2014. SaskFlax director Dave Sefton said seed growers will face a number of stipulations, including planting it only on land that has not seen a flax crop for at least five years. They will also be asked to dispose of all old supplies of Bethune and Sorrel after the 2013 seed selling season. The commission will be asking all flax producers to dispose of farmsaved Bethune and Sorrel and start over with certified seed of the reconstituted varieties in the spring of 2014. “Hopefully, Triffid will never show it’s ugly head again,” he said. Sefton said it is critical that growers co-operate with the initiative. “If we’re ever going to get rid of seed testing and ship testing, this is our only hope,” he said. “It will be an investment in the future by flax growers and seed growers.” >> FOR A STORY ON FLAX MARKETS, SEE PAGE 16. access=subscriber section=news,crops,none

Canadian peas focus of Indian scrutiny India’s auditor general report | Yellow peas repeatedly called undesirable product BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

India’s auditor general has issued a scathing condemnation of a government pulse importing scheme through which Canadian yellow peas were bought. The program, which was designed to check soaring food price inflation, authorized four agencies to import pulses on behalf of the Indian government and covered losses up to 15 percent of the landed cost of the product. Those agencies imported three million tonnes of pulses between 2006-07 and 2010-2011 and incurred losses of $230 million, 75 percent of which was associated with the purchase of yellow peas. The losses far exceeded expectations, with the government covering 27 percent of the $230 million. The program was shut down April 1, 2011. In its 42-page report, the office of India’s comptroller and auditor general rebuked the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution for its 2007 recommendation that half of the total imports through the government scheme be yellow peas. “The peas did not find many takers in the domestic market and were sold after considerable delays with heavy losses to the importing agencies,” it said. For instance, the agencies imported 626,000 tonnes of yellow peas in 2008-09 at prices of $292 to $546 per tonne. They were able to sell only 87,000 tonnes that year, with the remainder marketed the following year at far lower prices of $205 to $340 per tonne. “Despite this, the agencies continued to import the peas during the subsequent years, even when they had huge unsold stocks,” said the auditor general. Carl Potts, the newly appointed executive director of Saskatchewan Pulse Growers, said most of the yellow peas imported through the Indian government program over the past four years would have been from Canada. The program provided an important market outlet for Canadian growers at a time when they were producing more than three million tonnes of peas annually. Potts is not surprised the scheme

lost money because it was designed to cover losses by the state trading agencies, although not nearly to the extent realized. He is also not overly concerned about repeated references in the report to yellow peas being an undesirable commodity in India. India’s Committee of Secretaries recognized in an August 2009 meeting that consumers preferred other pulses despite low yellow pea prices and adequate stocks of the commodity. “In spite of that, the COS did not recommend any reduction for purchase in the targeted quantity of yellow peas,” said the auditor general report. Potts doesn’t put much stock in the notion that yellow peas were a bad fit for the program. “I don’t see it as particularly worrisome,” he said. “The demand for yellow peas has not been created as a result of government policy.” Private importers in India were buying Canadian yellow peas long before the government incentives existed and bought more than the government import agencies during the years of the program because peas are a competitive product. “The reality is that yellow peas are the most affordable, cost-effective source of protein for Indian consumers,” Potts said. Yellow peas have morphed from being strictly a chickpea substitute to a niche product with its own following in India. Potts believes the product will continue to play a big role in filling the growing gap between India’s pulse consumption and production. “Perhaps this report may result in some changes to the way the government is involved in importing, but I think our industry can adapt to that.” The auditor general is seeking broader changes than that. “In view of the size of the Indian market and also the lack of acceptance by Indian consumers of foreign pulses (particularly yellow peas), the government should consider taking effective measures for increasing the production of pulses.” The government watchdog wants to see increased yields through irrigation, provision of superior inputs and effective agricultural extension and higher minimum support prices for pulses to boost acreage of the crops. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

LAWSUIT | CANADIAN WHEAT BOARD

Class action targets CWB assets BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

All farmers who sold grain through the Canadian Wheat Board should be eligible for a share of the board’s assets after it is dismantled, a Regina lawyer said Jan. 9 after launching a class action lawsuit against Ottawa. Tony Merchant said the assets including cash, hopper cars, the Winnipeg office building and intangibles are worth $15.4 billion. “Farmers should sign on whether they are pro-board or anti-board because they’ll get compensation even if they are in favour of dismantling the Canadian Wheat Board,” he said in an interview. Unlike when the federal government discontinued the Crow Benefit transportation subsidy and offered compensation, the current government has said the board will maintain its assets and continue to operate. But Merchant said he wouldn’t bet on the board’s ability to do that without its monopoly. The lawsuit was launched in the name of Woodrow, Sask., farmer and former federal Liberal candidate Duane Filson.

Filson said his discontent over how Ottawa has handled the monopoly issue is no secret. When the Merchant group approached him to put his name on the lawsuit he decided it was a good idea. “In effect, the assets that we have owned as farmers have been taken away from us,” he said. If those assets are sold, there is a question of who would get the proceeds, he said. Federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz said in an e-mail that he was disappointed to see “further misguided legal action.” “This baseless action in no way affects the duly passed Marketing Freedom for Grain Farmers Act or western farmers’ ability to forward contract right now for an open market on Aug. 1, 2012,” he said. The lawsuit claims about $300 million in farmer money is owed to the class because it originated from the pool accounts. This includes $100 million in the contingency fund, $65 million for the down payment on Great Lakes freighters, a $102 million valuation on 3,402 hopper cars and the office building worth $14 million.

Intangible assets are the value of the CWB model, Merchant said, and include more than $5.3 billion in sustained annual wheat price premiums, $2.1 billion in annual barley price premiums, and $7.7 billion in logistics and transportation savings. Merchant said the valuations were obtained from “eminent” economists. The lawsuit claims the government “unlawfully re-purposed tangible assets and intangible assets of the CWB from farmers/producers” and is causing damage to the plaintiff and the class. Farmers who want to join the class may go to www.merchantlaw.com to sign up but Merchant said that isn’t required. He expects the class will be certified within six months and go to trial within two years. Merchant added that Ottawa could decide before the trial that compensation for the loss of the board should be paid. He said the political question of whether to dismantle the board is not at the heart of the class action. FOR MORE ON THE CANADIAN WHEAT BOARD, SEE PAGE 14 access=subscriber section=news,none,none

Ag sector welcomes canola council president’s appointment to Senate BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

She knows how to deal with clubroot, international trade disputes, pesticide labelling regulations and the complexities of biotechnology, but does she know how to wade through the oceans of legislation and

regulation that pass through the Senate each year? That’s something Canola Council of Canada president JoAnne Buth is about to find out, after being named a senator on Jan. 6 . Buth and five other Canadians were named to the Senate by prime minister Stephen Harper, who said in a

news release that “all new appointees have pledged to support the government in its efforts to make the Senate more democratic and accountable, including legislation to limit the term lengths of senators and encouraging the provinces and territories to hold elections for senate nominees.” Buth was made canola council

president in 2007 and before that was its head of crop production and management. She also worked for DowElanco Canada, the Manitoba agriculture department and Agriculture Canada. Richard Phillips, executive director of Grain Growers of Canada, said it will be good to have a new member of

the Senate who understands agricultural issues. “Having someone younger and with a lot of experience in agriculture will be refreshing,” said Phillips.

ALBERTA WEATHER | WILDFIRE

Prairie fires swallow farms, businesses STORIES BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

FORT MACLEOD, Alta. — Tears froze on Gord Hester’s face as he looked at the remains of the horse training operation he runs with his wife, Sandy. A Jan. 4 grass fire, whipped by high winds, destroyed most of S.R. Horse Training, a training and boarding facility northwest of Fort Macleod. The wind remained unrelenting Jan. 7, though not as strong as the 100 km/h chinook of Jan. 4, as the Hesters helped friends and neighbours with cleanup efforts on their farm. Gord, his face working with emotion, deferred queries to Sandy, whose inner fire is helping her cope with the consequences of the outer one. “I think I’m going to change my licence plate,” Sandy mused as she watched farm employee Vicky Atherton scrape through rubble with a pitchfork. “I don’t want that name anymore.” Her licence plate is the name of her prized stallion, Setfire. A metal sign at the farm’s gate welcomes friends, but it and the family home are almost all that is left of the operation that included an arena, several barns and outbuildings, corrals and hay stocks. But Sandy, who has been training horses since her youth and describes it as a lifetime passion, plans to rebuild and carry on. “At first my husband didn’t want to, but he knows this is the love of my life,” said Sandy. “He agreed to rebuild what we can.” She plans to carry on business temporarily in a smaller arena nearby owned by friend Carrie Miller Mitchell. The 55 horses on site on the day of the fire were saved through the efforts of neighbours who showed up with horse trailers. The animals are farmed out at various places. A horse named Handsome was singed in the fire but is recovering. “He’s not quite so handsome now,” said Sandy. She was in nearby Fort Macleod when the call came that fire was encroaching on the farm. At first, she and Gord thought the fire had missed them, but then it turned. “I’d gone to get something from the house. Somebody pulled me away because the fire was burning the skirting at the back of my house,” said Sandy. The house was saved but little else: no tack, no barns, not so much as a hoof pick or Gord’s prized set of spurs. The blaze was started by improper disposal of stove ashes on a property southwest of the Hesters. Fire burned a swath 67 kilometres long and about half a km wide at its widest point. It was one of two that burned in the Municipal District of Willow Creek on the same day, taxing fire control efforts to their limits. A grass fire at Nanton burned 40 to 60 km, destroyed four homes and numerous other buildings, including Paradise Hill Farm east of Nanton. The greenhouse operation supplies tomatoes to Calgary Co-op stores. Cynthia Vizzutti of the MD of Willow Creek said fire crews from within the district and beyond, plus Hutterite colonies and other individuals, did an outstanding job with fire control efforts. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

Neighbours help with clean up after wildfire FORT MACLEOD, Alta. — Bloodshot eyes were a common physical characteristic Jan. 7 as Rick Labiuk, Gunter Kotke and Eric Eremenko talked at Labiuk’s acreage about the effects of a Jan. 4 wildfire. They watched a backhoe start clean-up work on the remains of Labiuk’s two shops, vehicles, trailers, tools and antiques, compared information on losses and rubbed eyes made red from smoke as they battled fire in previous days. Labiuk came close to losing his home. Kotke and Eremenko lost their stockpiled hay but their homes were also saved. Four homes were burned by a fire east of Nanton that occurred the same day. Near Fort Macleod, the 67 kilometre long fire spared homes but destroyed a horse training operation, various outbuildings and miles of fences. “We didn’t lose any outbuildings per se,” said Eremenko, who was busy access=subscriber section=news,none,none

replacing fences Jan. 5 so that the family’s 75 cattle could return home. “We lost our haystack, 400 and some bales. To the extent of some of the other neighbours, we were fortunate. We’re happy that first of all nobody was injured. That’s the biggest thing.” Neighbours helping neighbours was the theme both during the fire and afterward. Fire departments from 12 municipalities did battle. People showed up with horse trailers to move livestock.

Hutterite colonies, excavating companies and people with water trucks came out to fight fires driven by winds in excess of 100 km/h. Now, after the smoke has cleared, neighbours are helping neighbours clean up and get on with their lives and their work. Riviere’s Construction and Campbell Cats were both donating labour and equipment at Labiuk’s 15-acre property. Labiuk discovered the answer to the question of what he would grab if his house were threatened. He took his deed and insurance papers and tried to get the pets. “I just threw the drawers in the back of the car,” he said about seeing the flames roar closer. His 14-year-old Lab jumped in the car but his other dog wouldn’t. It survived. “I whipped out of here and went and told my wife what was probably going to happen. We were going to lose the house. It sort of shocked her

a bit,” said Labiuk. Insurance will cover some of the expense and by last weekend he had already visited his banker. Eremenko said the experience has given him new appreciation for those who cope with even larger disasters and illustrates the value of good neighbours. “We’re just helping as best we can to get everybody back on their feet. You help out as best you can. You go to the closest ones and work your way out. That’s kind of what we’re doing right now.” Dry, windy conditions persist in southwestern Alberta. Fire bans are in effect in most municipalities. Cynthia Vizzutti, chief administrative officer for the Municipal District of Willow Creek, which fell victim to both fires, cautioned people about using any sources of ignition, and to refrain from throwing cigarette butts from vehicle windows.

Rally is history but profits remain End of the boom | Analysts predict bearish prices for wheat, oats and barley due to ample stocks BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

ST. JEAN BAPTISTE, Man. — They didn’t raise anyone’s hopes, nor did they dash them. Two market analysts who spoke at St. Jean Farm Days last week shared the view that 2012 will likely be less profitable for most farmers than 2011 or 2010 but won’t be a washout either. “Big picture, I have to admit, I’m mildly bearish,” said Wild Oats newsletter analyst John Duvenaud. “The stocks of most grains are adequate.” Mike Jubinville of Pro Farmer Canada offered a similar outlook. “It’s not that I’m feeling bearish about the marketplace going into 2012. I think there’s going to be opportunities for growers to lock in some reasonable crop prices during the course of the marketing year,” said Jubinville. “But I tend to find after a two year stand, markets have a tendency to exhaust. My gut feeling right now is that the highs have already come in.” Most crop prices have fallen since last summer, and the analysts saw little potential for a new bull market u n l e s s a maj o r w e at h e r e v e nt destroys an important crop. Ample stocks of most crops mean there’s little reason for buyers to panic about supplies. Corn stocks are lower, but Jubinville said the weakness for the past six months in corn prices reflects the generally bearish all-crops situation. “The marketplace is telling us something has changed here,” said Jubinville, suggesting last year’s high corn prices prompted users to buy access=subscriber section=markets,none,none

cheap wheat and reduce their overall demand. That doesn’t bode well for a corn price rally. “The overall up trend, the rally, is done.” As a result, he’s selling barley when he sees prairie bids of $4.50 per bushel or higher. The analysts doubt oat prices will rise much in coming months, with Jubinville seeing resistance to prices above $3.40 per bushel. “My inclination is going to be to sell it all (old crop) on the next opportu-

nity into that pricing environment,” he said. Nor was either too hopeful about canola prospects for the rest of the winter or into the new crop year. “If we’re holding onto $10 canola, by the time we combine this year’s crop, count yourselves lucky,” said Duvenaud. Jubinville was happy to see the present short-term canola rally, but he doubts it will reverse the longerterm lower trend. He’s ready to recommend his clients sell the last of their old crop

canola as soon as the present rally appears to fade. He might also start pricing some new crop soon because the upside outlook isn’t promising and the downside could reappear. “Assuming we have normalized production in 2012, $12 a bu. might be as high as this market needs to go,” said Jubinville. “Could we see $450 (per tonne) futures this year? Under the assumption we’re in a stagnant macro-economic slow growth environment, assuming we have normal produc-

tion … are we going to see $10 (per bu.) canola, $9 canola? My thinking is that some time in 2012 we’re going to see prices like that.” Neither analyst was bullish about spring wheat prices, seeing the world awash in cheap wheat from the former Soviet Union and big stockpiles elsewhere. “Wheat’s in a bear market now and I think it’s going to continue in a bear market,” said Duvenaud. “(But) the red spring wheat does have a lot more strength than most wheats do.” Duvenaud was most optimistic about canaryseed prices, which he thinks have the best shot at a rally. Mexican demand has increased, even if Canadian canaryseed has been mostly cut off, which should lead to bigger sales this year as the crop finds its way to anxious buyers. Duvenaud and Jubinville said their generally glum outlooks shouldn’t disguise the fact that they expect prices in 2012 to be profitable. “I think we’re going to have profitable spikes that we can use as pricing opportunities, but I don’t look at 2012, short of having production related problems later this year … I don’t think we’re in a scenario where we’re going to start a sustained bull market,” said Jubinville. Added Duvenaud: “These real good prices, I think we’re on the end of that boom now.” The windfalls might be over, he said. “But over time farming is still the place you want to be.” SEE PAGE 70 FOR A BIGGER PICTURE ECONOMIC OUTLOOK.

CROP CONTRACTS | POST WHEAT BOARD

Growers, grain firms explore new contract territory BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

The ink is still drying on the contracts, but most crop marketing advisers think the Canadian grain industry’s spring wheat, durum and barley contracts look OK. However, farmers will see months of tweaking before it’s clear how most of the Prairies’ cereal crops will be contracted. “We’ve been doing some new crop wheat and winter wheat contracts,” said grain broker Allan Johnston of Welwyn, Sask., who was at the Crop Production Show in Saskatoon Jan. 9 talking to farmers and buyers. “There are so many things happening that it’ll take weeks to get it all in

order,” he said. “It was 60 years the other way, so it’ll take a while to get the new system in place.” Barring court action, prairie farmers will sell their spring wheat, durum and barley in an open market starting Aug. 1. Almost no contracting for 2012-13 wheat board crops was done before the federal legislation that eliminated the CWB’s single desk powers was proclaimed in mid-December. Viterra announced contracts the day after and other buyers followed suit. Most offer a set price at a specific delivery location in a specific period, with few other options available. “We haven’t seen any basis contracts yet,” said Darren Frank of

FarmLink Marketing Solutions. “For the most part, they’re flatpriced. Everybody’s probably waiting for the ICE contracts to come out.” The ICE Canada futures contracts for spring wheat, durum and barley will begin trading at 7 p.m. Jan. 22, which is the beginning of the European Jan. 23 trading day, said ICE Canada chief executive officer Brad Vannan. “Everything’s progressing very well,” said Vannan. Charlie Pearson of Alberta Agriculture said farmers need to understand the new contracts before they sign them. “Know what’s in there, so you don’t have any surprises,” Pearson said. Spring wheat, durum and barley

BRAD VANNAN ICE CANADA

are new to contracting on the Prairies and may be subject to different conditions than the crops that farmers are more familiar contracting. Cereals tend to have a far wider spectrum of types, qualities and grades than other crops, so the contracts might be more complex. Frank said farmers should try to set up their contracts to suit the crop they’re likely to produce rather than

re-engineering a contract once the crop is in the bin and finding it doesn’t meet the specifications. “If four out of five years you produce a two (grade), it doesn’t make much sense to sign a contract for a one without knowing how the two will be treated,” said Frank. “Get that discount in there and negotiate the premium later (if you get lucky and get a number one).” Vomitoxin levels and protein premiums are also factors to consider. Advisers say companies might not be willing to be pinned down on exact premiums and discounts before harvest, but they can be pressed to explain how they are likely to treat crops that don’t meet the contract specifications. access=subscriber section=markets,none,none

Indian consumers have seen their currency fall by about 20 percent in the last six months, making it more expensive for imported goods like pulses from Canada. | REUTERS PHOTO CURRENCY | INDIA

Devalued rupee slows India’s imports Canadians feel pinch | A poor pulse crop may force the country to resume imports STORIES BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Asia’s worst performing currency has hurt Canadian pulse sales, says a grain market analyst. The Indian rupee fell 20 percent compared to the U.S. dollar between Aug. 1 and the middle of December. It has recovered slightly, but is still well below where it was in the summer. The rupee’s slide has caused serious problems for India’s pulse importers, who are paying almost 20 percent more for product that they signed contracts for months ago. “Pulses importers have not burnt their fingers, they have burnt their bodies this year,” Bimal Kothari, vicepresident of India Pulses and Grains Association, said in a Dec. 29 article published in the Business Standard, India’s leading business daily.

Losses are expected to exceed $97 million, and the devalued rupee is forcing importers to stop importing. “The landed price of pulses at the current rupee exchange rate and international prices will be significantly higher than the prevailing domestic prices,” said Kothari. He said import prices need to fall more to offset the rupee’s depreciation. Chuck Penner, market analyst with LeftField Commodity Research in Winnipeg, said the devaluation of the rupee has already been reflected in prices. “It is probably one of the key price drivers over the last two to three months, so it is an important factor but it’s mostly in there already.” Bulk yellow peas that were selling for $415 US per tonne in Vancouver in September are now $380 per tonne. Penner said there has been little

business with India, even with sharply lower pea and lentil prices. In fact, there were rumours last month that Indian importers backed out of pulse contracts with Australian exporters. “(The rupee) has certainly had an impact. No question about it,” he said. Fortunately, China has been buying a lot of Canadian peas, and looming supply problems in India may reignite sales. The summer pulse crop was disappointing and the winter crop may also be in trouble. India’s agriculture ministry reports that growers had planted 34.7 million acres of pulses as of Jan. 6, down 1.2 percent from the pace of last year’s record winter plantings. Chickpeas are six percent behind last year’s pace at 21.5 million acres. Penner said this comparison is a

little deceiving because some of India’s states can be late filing data. Growers are just 0.6 percent off last year’s record pace when comparing the ministry’s Jan. 6, 2012, seeding report to the one filed Jan. 7, 2011. However, Penner believes the winter crop could be in trouble. The northern two-thirds of the country, where most of the pulses are grown, has received little rain since the end of the monsoon. “It has been very, very dry since October. Some of those areas have had almost no rain,” he said. “That is something to really, really be watched and that’s going to add a lot of uncertainty to that market.” Canadian growers should also be aware that while total winter plantings are similar to last year, there are important differences. Pea acres are up, but lentil and chickpea plantings are down.

Randy Froese used to grow 3,000 acres of edible beans on his farm near Winkler, Man., and it was usually a good moneymaker. “The rule of thumb used to be a bad bean crop still made more money than a good cereal crop,” he said. That adage changed when cereal prices began rising and soybeans started making inroads into the province. Edible beans became less attractive. “We cut our acres pretty much in half just for the fact that they weren’t making money anymore,” said the chair of the Manitoba Pulse Growers Association’s edible bean committee. However, today’s bean prices have Froese and other growers considering another flirtation with the crop. He intends to seed 2,000 acres of navy, pinto and black beans on his farm this year. Companies are offering 40 cents per pound navy bean contracts, and farmers are still holding out. “The last five or 10 years, if anybody could have got a 40 cent contract, they would have been jumping all over it,” said Froese. However, growers know the pipeline is dry. They planted 60,000 acres of the crop in Manitoba last year, which is about half of the previous five-year average. Harvested area in the United States was down 38 percent compared to the previous year, as was production. As well, the Mexican bean crop is in trouble. The U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates 600,000 tonnes of Mexican production, down from its earlier forecast of 880,000 tonnes because of the most severe drought in northern Mexico in 80 years. “I can’t see the price of beans going down. I just see it going up,” said Froese. He forecasts a rebound in Manitoba beans to as high as 115,000 acres. “I can definitely see a lot more guys putting edibles back in if the price stays or goes up,” said Froese. Prices for the main types of beans grown in Manitoba are all up and have been holding steady. However, farmers are reluctant to commit because of the supply challenges. “It seems like a lot of guys are holding out yet,” he said. “A lot of producc cseeing e s s =the s potential u b s c r in i ba elotr ersaare section=markets,none,none higher value for beans.”

MARKETS

THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | JANUARY 12, 2012

CANFAX REPORT FED PRICES DIP The Canfax average for fed steers was $114.99 per hundredweight, down 56 cents, and heifers were $114.77, down 19 cents. Rail trade was generally $1 lower compared to the previous week with most sales at $195 per cwt. delivered. Packers bid aggressively despite improved market-ready supply. The Alberta and Saskatchewan show lists were the largest offering since the week of Oct. 10. American packer interest was limited as fed supplies in the U.S. northwest continue to grow. Sales volumes totalled 17,022, up 35 percent from the previous week. The cash to futures basis narrowed $1.88 to close at ‐$8.44. Weekly exports to Dec. 24 totalled 4,469, down 31 percent from the previous week. Packer lift times are tightening. Warm dry weather is providing excellent feeding conditions and fast weight gain. Larger market-ready

numbers are anticipated this month. Beef demand early in the new year tends to be sluggish and beef prices might fall.

COWS STEADY D1, D2 slaughter cows at auction were steady at $64‐$75 to average $69.88. Dressed prices were mostly steady at $133‐$138 per cwt. Butcher bulls rose 44 cents to average $75.38 per cwt. Weekly exports to Dec. 24 fell 15 percent to 3,268 head. Weak post‐holiday demand and adequate inventory might push prices lower.

FEEDERS MIXED Feeder auction activity was light.

There was generally good demand, but light reporting in some weight ranges may distort the week-to-week comparison. With no significant feeder trade between Christmas and New Year’s, price comparisons are with the week ending Dec. 23. Light stocker steers dipped lower while 500‐700 pound steers rose $2‐$3 per cwt. Steers heavier than 700 lb. were steady to higher. The volume of steers and heifers heavier than 900 lb. was too light to establish a trend. Good demand pushed 300‐600 lb. heifers up $1.25‐$2.25. Prices were mixed for 600‐800 lb. heifers, while 800‐900 lb. prices fell about $3. Auction volume was 3,545, down 24 percent from the same week last year. Weekly feeder exports to Dec. 24

were 1,000 head, up 55 percent over the previous week. Mild weather has accelerated fed marketings, freeing up pen space a n d c au s i n g s p r i n g g ra z e r s t o become anxious as they anticipate increased competition for grass cattle.

BRED COWS LOWER Few bred cows were offered following the large herd dispersals in December. Average prices were almost $160 per head lower than the week ending Dec. 23, but slaughter value continues to be supportive. Bred heifer and pair volumes were light. With the tax year concluded, a flush of bred cattle is expected to be offered and prices for reputation females

should hold steady.

BEEF PRICE DROPS U.S. beef cut-out values were mixed with the Choice composite sliding more than $3 lower while Select firmed slightly. The Montreal wholesale market for delivery fell $1 this week to $208‐$210. Canadian cutouts for the week ending Dec. 30 saw mixed Canadian cutout trade with AAA down $1 per cwt.

WP LIVESTOCK REPORT HOGS SLIGHTLY HIGHER Packer margins declined during the week as pork prices eroded. The warm winter is leading to heavy carcass weights. Pork demand is slack, but some in the market expect it to pick up. Iowa-southern Minnesota live hogs traded at $61 US per hundredweight, up from $59.25 Dec. 30. The U.S. pork carcass cut-out value closed at $84.06 Jan 6, down from $85.16 Dec. 30. The U.S. federal weekly slaughter estimate was 2.06 million, up from the holiday week of 1.97 million.

BISON VOLUME UP The Canadian Bison Association said supply is increasing. Grade A bulls in the desirable weight range were $3.80-$4 Cdn per pound hot hanging weight. Grade A heifers were $3.60-$4. Animals older than 30 months and those outside the desirable weight range may be discounted. Slaughter cows and bulls averaged $2.40-$2.70.

SHEEP PRICES UP Ontario Stockyards Inc. reported 771 sheep and lambs and one goat traded Jan. 3. All sheep and lambs sold actively at much higher prices.

ELK PRICES REVIEWED Alberta Elk has compiled a review of 2011 prices. Elk meat prices were $7.10-$7.39 per kilogram, hot hanging weight. Cows on average fetched $850$950. The bull average was $1,400$1,600. Smaller animals were in the lower part of the range and larger animals in the upper part. Bred cows were $1,500-$2,500. Trophy bulls producing velvet and with breeding potential varied widely depending on the quality of the velvet, size and genetics. Prices were $3,000-$20,000. Velvet prices rose 25 percent from 2010 to average $28 per pound.

WORKERS’ COMPENSATION | FAMILY, CORPORATE FARMS

CRAIG’S VIEW

Balance farm safety with costs of farming The shift in farming from a family endeavour to a corporate business is causing changes in who works on farms and how they are treated. Prairie farms often rely on family for labour, but increasingly large operations must also hire knowledgeable full-time employees. As well, some farms require seasonal labourers. Ensuring the safety and security of all people who work on farms should be a priority. As part of that, Canadian provinces have or are considering including the farming industry in workers’ compensation programs. A committee reviewing Saskatchewan’s Workers’ Compensation Act recommended in December that the act apply to all employees and that the exclusion for farms ends. In Manitoba, farming has been under the workers’ compensation law for a few years and Alberta’s Wild Rose Agricultural Producers annual meeting a year ago passed a resolution calling for the agricultural exclusion to end there. Saskatchewan and Alberta farms can now participate in workers’ compensation on a voluntary basis, and as an alternative, some farmers buy private accident insurance. However, some have no insurance and that tarnishes the image of an industry that already struggles to compete for labour against mining, energy and manufacturing. People in agriculture should want their image to be equal to other industries, rather than being a special case. As the Saskatchewan report notes, farming today is often conducted on a large scale much different from the traditional family farm. “Workers are doing paid jobs in a sector where serious injuries and even fatalities are, unfortunately, not rare.” Today’s highly mechanized farms can be dangerous places, particularly for inexperienced workers. Workers’ compensation does not stop injuries, but it pays for medical treatment, recuperation, income replacement and death benefits. All those within the pro-

gram share the cost. Farms would receive several benefits by being part of the system: • the risk of a business-crippling lawsuit is eliminated because injured employees give up the right to sue their employers • the security it provides workers helps level the playing field between agriculture and other industries when it comes to recruiting labour. Some farmers might be against the idea because it adds another level of cost and paperwork, but that is minor. They should not confuse it with occupational health and safety regulations that are more intrusive in how jobs are done. The changing nature of farming is also behind another development, this one regarding the safety of child farm workers. The U.S. Department of Labor has proposed updating for the first time since 1970 regulations improving safety requirements for young workers in agriculture. The move has no effect in Canada but is of interest. The U.S. proposals would not apply to children working on farms owned by their parents. They would likely have the greatest effect on operations that hire seasonal workers, often immigrant or migrant families. However, they could complicate situations where the neighbour’s children pitch in to help at haying or harvest. One regulation would prohibit hired farm workers younger than 16 from operating almost all power-driven equipment, although there would be leeway for student learners. Clearly there are moves to treat farming like other industries when it comes to worker safety. However, bureaucracies must recognize that while many farms are bigger, they are small businesses with highly variable revenue. Cost and regulatory burdens must be kept reasonable so as not to threaten business viability.

LOOKING AHEAD | GOVERNMENT AGENDA

Majority government uses first six months to show its eagerness to get going NATIONAL VIEW

BARRY WILSON

n a December year-end interview with CTV, prime minister Stephen Harper talked about the challenges and opportunities of attaining his first majority government last year. He wants to head an aggressive, activist government. “It’s a great relief,” he said, reflecting on the end of five years of unstable minority government. “My other

consideration is I want to make sure that we use it. I’ve seen too many majority governments, bureaucracy talks them into going to sleep for three years and then they suddenly realize they are close to an election.” That, says Harper, is not his style. Clearly, he wants to use his 53 month term between elections to change the country as much as he can. This will not be a “steady as she goes” government. “We’ve tried to keep busy and we’re going to try and keep busy through the whole four years.” By almost any measure, the first six months of this majority Conservative Parliament revealed a government anxious to get at its agenda, particularly items long-promised to its rural and western base. Legislation to end the Canadian

Wheat Board monopoly this year was pushed through Parliament at breakneck speed. Bills to end the long gun registry, to implement some controversial free trade deals, to add 30 new House of Commons seats that will give Alberta and British Columbia more parliamentary clout in 2015 were part of the autumn fast-track agenda. So let’s take the prime minister at his word that 2012 will be as aggressive as the last half of 2011. What could be in store for prairie and rural Canadians? Following is a modest list of certainties, probables and possibles. The long gun registry will end soon after Parliament reconvenes at the end of January. There are court challenges and provincial resistance but the CWB

file showed that such challenges don’t force the Conservatives to break a sweat. In May, Statistics Canada will report a decline in the number of Canadian farmers as results of the 2011 farm census are released. Newspaper headlines and some lobbyists will see this as a condemnation of farm policy. In fact, the numbers will largely be fiction, reporting that the number of farmers has fallen by 10,000 or more in recent years to somewhere in the vicinity of 200,000. The number of Canadians trying to make a living or a significant part of their living from farming is less than half that total. However, the “woe is farming” headlines will tell a different story. In the probable category, the govern-

ment likely will introduce legislation to reform the Canadian Grain Commission and its legislation. Opposition from industry and political critics fearful that the underlying motive would be to reduce farmer power in the system and undermine Canada’s grain quality regulations could make this the most volatile agricultural debate of the year, outside the remnants of the CWB debate of course. One of the government motives, in a year of spending cuts and a tight March budget, will be to download CGC costs onto the industry, reducing the need for annual government subsidies. And despite Harper’s continued stacking of the Senate with unelected Conservative partisans like last week’s new batch, expect a serious effort to get some Senate reform legislation passed this year. access=subscriber section=opinion,none,none

WEATHER | WINTER?

Carbon offset rates need to be full value

Snow and cold play important role in farming

BY DOYLE WIEBE

he holiday season typically results in a time of reflection, which was certainly the case as we looked back at the year in agriculture. It was a busy one on several fronts, but of particular interest to the Saskatchewan Soil Conservation Association is the provincial government’s continued effort to develop a greenhouse gas offset market. This effort follows the passing of the Management and Reduction of Greenhouse Gases and Adaptation to Climate Change Act in May 2010. Although recently overshadowed by the economic crisis gripping the world, climate change continues to be a topic of interest for Canadians. What most people don’t realize is that farmers in Western Canada can be part of the solution to this global problem. The SSCA welcomes the inclusion of greenhouse gas offsets generated from biological sequestration in these ongoing discussions. Good soil management practices, including the reduction of summerfallow and tillage intensity, removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and stores it in agricultural soil as carbon. Farmers have been adopting reduced tillage for years for myriad reasons. Reduced greenhouse gas emissions are another benefit of improved soil practices. The result of these improved practices is that net annual emissions from agriculture in Saskatchewan have been negative between 1990 and 2008. Agriculture reduced and removed more CO2 than it emitted in

JOANNE PAULSON, EDITOR

Governments are urged to better compensate farmers for the contributions they make to combat the effects of climate change. | FILE PHOTO each of those years. The adoption of improved soil management practices has continued over the past decade, putting even more CO2 “in the bank.” Agriculture in Saskatchewan has been and is doing its part to address climate change. Continued encouragement of good farm practices requires development of a market that sees farmers receive value from their greenhouse gas emissions reductions and removals that result from the management decisions they make. Farmers make those management decisions for a host of reasons, but one of the benefits should be a financial incentive for helping to address climate change.

The SSCA wants to ensure that the contributions Saskatchewan’s farmers have made to greenhouse gas reduction are valued. The proposed approach includes multiple discounts to generally accepted carbon sequestration rates for adoption of reduced tillage practices. These discounts reduce the return to farmers by up to 70 percent and result in returns of less than $1 per acre. This is not acceptable. Farmers are making a contribution and those efforts need to be recognized and rewarded. The Saskatchewan government is on the right path by addressing the climate change issue. It is doing this partly through the use of offsets, par-

ticularly biologically based offsets that provide multiple benefits. However, if the government wants farmers to participate in the offset market, then more of the value associated with that participation must be returned to them. We hope you think of the benefits Saskatchewan’s farmers provide when you consider climate change issues or have an opportunity to talk to your elected officials about Saskatchewan’s approach. Farmers provide more than food, feed, and fibre — and more can be done to encourage good practices. Wiebe is president of the Saskatchewan Soil Conservation Association.

FARM INPUTS | FERTILIZER PRICES

Farmers should shop around for fertilizer savings HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

ertilizer prices have been falling dramatically since the end of November. While that decline may not yet be fully realized at retail outlets, there should be buying opportunities ahead. David Asbridge, a long-time American agricultural economist, has recently been concentrating on the fertilizer market. His company, NPK Fertilizer Advisory Service, publishes a newsletter called the NPK Insider. Asbridge says the urea (46-0-0) market basis the Gulf fell to a sixmonth low just before Christmas and then made a $30 to $40 per ton rebound right after Christmas. Back

in September and October, Gulf urea prices were more than $475 a ton. After the post-Christmas rebound, they were slightly more than $400. According to Asbridge, urea prices started the fall season way too high. Prices increased rather than decreasing through the summer because of political volatility in the Middle East and the bullish outlook for grain prices. As grain prices have softened, so has fertilizer demand. On ammonia, wholesale prices in the Midwest dropped by about $80 a ton in December. The biggest decline has been in phosphate. Since the end of November, Gulf prices for DAP have dropped by close to $130 a ton and are now down by roughly $180 a tonne compared to the peak in August. DAP is diammonium phosphate, 18-46-0. In Western Canada, we see MAP, which is monoammonium phosphate with an analysis of 11-52-0. Mosaic’s announcement that it plans to curtail phosphate production by 250,000 tonnes in the first quarter of 2012 is a clear indication

that the market is currently oversupplied. Retail prices are often much slower to react. In his newsletter, Asbridge lists the current spread between retail (farm) and wholesale urea prices at $100 a ton. While he thinks wholesale prices might now continue to edge upward, he is expecting the spread to narrow by $40 to $50 over the next couple months. There’s a natural tendency for retailers to resist price drops because they are stuck with higher priced product from earlier in the year. However, competition usually prevails. On ammonia, Asbridge believes the U.S. farm retail price could come down by as much as $75 a ton in the next couple months. It’s often difficult for producers to get a handle on what’s happening in the fertilizer market. Retailers are quicker to talk about potential price increases than to admit world prices are falling and retail will likely have to follow suit. In most years, producers save money by buying their fertilizer in the fall.

Typically, there’s a price increase as spring approaches. Back in 2008, it went the other way big time. Charts from the Alberta Farm Input Price Survey show that urea dropped from nearly $950 a tonne in October of 2008 to about $620 by April of 2009. On phosphate, the price over that time frame went from $1,350 a tonne to $800. Urea bottomed out at $450 a tonne in the fall of 2009, while phosphate at that time was as low as $500. We aren’t seeing that magnitude of price move, but the price direction is undeniably down. Producers who didn’t buy last fall should be rewarded. Asbridge believes the next six weeks may offer the best opportunity to lock in supply. There can be a significant price difference from one retailer to another, especially in a market that’s had a significant price change at the wholesale level.

’m told that grass fires in the chinook-swept portions of Saskatchewan and particularly Alberta are not all that uncommon in winter. The winds blow in, suck up all the moisture and leave behind a landscape ripe for crisping. January grass fires are not part of my experience, coming from a town where there is normally plenty of ice and snow, so the fires that recently roared near Nanton and Fort Macleod in Alberta and Maple Creek in Saskatchewan shocked me. I wasn’t the only one, mind you. Kevin Widmer told the Regina Leader-Post that he has never seen a January grass fire, either, and he’s a lifelong resident of tropical Maple Creek, perpetual warm spot of the province. Yet even by southern Alberta standards, the wind was fairly extreme and the damage caused by wildfire was significant. Thirty-five structures were damaged or destroyed, including four homes, and four firefighters were injured. Fire bans are now in place. Meanwhile, farmers with winter wheat acres in Manitoba and Saskatchewan are starting to worry about the lack of snowfall. Acres in both provinces are fairly high because of the soggy spring. Unfortunately, it has been so warm and dry that winter wheat does not have its snowy toque for protection against the cold — which may or may not come. It depends on whose forecast you listen to, but it is winter; cold temperatures are still likely. Personally, I was dreading winter this year, especially after last year’s icy blast. Maybe it’s my aging bones. The remarkable warm spell has made everything easier, and I have revelled in it. But that’s enough now. This weird spring-winter thing is scaring me, and reminds me to be careful what I wish for. Prairie agriculture is partly reliant on snow for moisture and cold for killing nasty creatures. New technology has made crops easier to grow under difficult conditions, but prairie crops are also known for being super-clean, and that’s largely because of winter. Real winter. I cannot believe I’m saying this, but bring on the snow, and then the cold — and while I’m at it, a nice, normal spring with proper rainfall. After last year, the year before and the fires, it’s the least Mother Nature could do — although she could spare us 40 below. access=subscriber section=opinion,none,none

I am writing to express concern over the proposed regulation changes by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency pertaining to the importation of bucks into Canada from the United States. The purebred goat industry is still struggling to get back on its feet after the closing of the Canadian border to breeding stock from 2002 to 2008, and to impose the new regulations based on the scrapies program will finish it off. In the past, the purebred goat industry in Canada was strong and highly regarded. With the closing of

the U.S. border in 2002, this has all changed. The economic hardships that arose from being unable to sell breeding stock to the U.S. drove many breeders out of business, and their animals were sold into commercial operations, from where they disappeared out of the gene pool. The remaining breeders were unable to access fresh genetics from the U.S. to keep their breeding programs going, and so even more animals were sold and lost. Since the border has opened in 2008, the industry has begun to make a slow recovery, with new breeders trying to find animals to start new herds, but the numbers of healthy animals available are low and the pedigrees limited. To close the bor-

der to the importation of bucks unless a person is on the scrapies program will be the final nail in the coffin of our industry…. I am also concerned that the U.S. scrapie program is not nearly as vigorous as the proposed Canadian program, and all services are provided free. The low number of herds that are participating in the U.S. program is also a concern, as it limits the importable genetics…. As breeders of purebred stock, we will be unable to bring in the superior genetics we require, which is unacceptable. If the CFIA and the USDA (U.S. Department of Agriculture, insist on implementing this program as it is, it will be the end of the purebred goat access=subscriber section=opinion,none,none

WORKING TOGETHER To the Editor: It’s not often that I write letters to open forums in newspapers, but I felt compelled to answer a letter printed in your Nov. 3 issue from a gentleman from Spring Valley, Sask. His attitude that Canadian Wheat Board supporters are motivated by envy is a sad commentary on the man’s judgment of others. Even more frightening is his misunderstanding of “Catholic” social teaching, which is really “Christian” social teaching. Christ taught one basic concept for being a true follower and that is “loving service.” We love God best by caring for and serving others. Respecting others’ property and their points of view are just part of that teaching, not the teaching itself. The Canadian Wheat Board was built on the concept of people working together for the common good. It developed a system of orderly marketing of grain, but it also became a strong voice advocating for farmers’ interests. It became an annoying voice against some powerful adversaries, so it had to be silenced. How sad for us all. Gail Boser, Luseland, Sask.

Isn’t it ironic that when so many countries’ citizens are fighting for a democratic system of government, our federal government is digressing to an unaccountable level of governing Canada? It started in their first term when they broke their own law after setting an election date and not sticking to it. The regularity of such “freedom” to do as they please has increased.

NEWS I think if I had used someone else’s money the way they have used mine, I would be in jail several times over. There have been questionable ethics at play. The results of elections may have even been influenced. Just recently, there has been more than one case of a parliamentary appointment being made with disregard for all the requirements of that job description. The impression I got from the government’s reply to criticism for such action was, “too bad, we’re doing it because we can.” Opposition parties are not being allowed to do what Canadians elected them to do. When they try to represent their constituents in Parliament, they are flatly told they are wasting their time and causing confusion. Now, the majority of farmers in the West are being denied a promised democratic farmer-only vote on something that affects their liveli-

hoods. By the way, the Saskatchewan provincial government also supports this undemocratic move. Beware of the “new” democracy that is rearing its ugly head in Canada. Lynn Sangster, Assiniboia, Sask.

TRUDEAU’S GHOST To the Editor: Every year in December, the work of English writer Charles Dickens surfaces, along with the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, who is visited by a ghost that reminds the old miser of his questionable past. This year, the proponents of free enterprise and an open market system are also being visited by a ghost from the past — the ghost of Pierre

Elliott Trudeau. When Trudeau and his Liberal government introduced the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms of 1984, many people feared that we would have a two-tiered government, where the courts and Parliament would be battling over the governance of this nation. The Liberals and the NDP rebutted with the claim that the new constitution would allow minority groups the representation that they often required to pass legislation that was crucial to their survival. According to the Canadian Wheat Board, approximately 60 percent of farmers support the board and single desk selling. Thus, why are the courts and the infinite wisdom of the judge not protecting the rights and freedoms of the 40 percent minority of farmers who believe in a free marketing system? Why are courts not enforcing the

same rules for Canadian farmers from Quebec and Ontario? I believe the reason may be quite simple. The socialist politics of Trudeau and company are still haunting the courtrooms of Canada. John Hamon, Gravelbourg, Sask.

VOLUNTEERS CRUCIAL To the Editor: We are surrounded by events that rely on the thankless efforts of volunteers, and Canadian Western Agribition is no exception. Every local rink, school or charity of your choice depends on the selfless efforts of a volunteer. As one of the newest members to the CWA team, it is humbling to see the commitment volunteers give to an event like Agri-

bition. Each year, Agribition has hundreds of volunteers who help make our event an annual success. Without the help of every volunteer, our event wouldn’t happen. To put this in perspective, over 380 men and women give their personal time to put on an annual event that contributes $27 million to the Saskatchewan economy. There are few other events hosted by unpaid personnel that leave such a mark on our province. In this day and age, when volunteering is being lost in the hustle and bustle of a busy life, it makes the significance of volunteers in our community even more relevant. I would like to sincerely thank all of our volunteers. Marty Seymour, CEO and GM, Canadian Western Agribition, Regina, Sask.

y mother had been in hospital for some time. She had made repeated visits there because her body was slowly breaking down. Each time she talked about going home. I steeled myself with each visit because I felt it was my responsibility, as the only immediate family member, to convince her it was time to consider moving to a care facility. When her brother and sister came to visit, she had her way of telling them what Joyce was trying to do, and they would all say tsk, tsk. So I kept talking to myself, asking if I was looking at the situation in the best possible way. Finally, in the dark of night, I heard her words again. What was her intent? She knew she could no longer be home on her own, and she didn’t want a live-in. The last time she was taken to the hospital, she went in the ambulance because she’d had a bad fall. Could that be it? There had been no satisfactory ending to being in the little home she loved so much. Did she mean to stay home, or did she mean to go back for a few hours to tend to unfinished business? The latter could certainly be arranged, and her mind could be better put to rest. After the visit home, when the hospital told her she couldn’t stay with them much longer, she was then ready to consider the alternatives. And she knew she could go back home for short visits. Despite our best intentions, we often hear the words but not the intent. We need time-out periods for quiet prayer, for discussions with friends and advisers to help us see and hear afresh.

GRAIN MARKETING | LEGAL ACTION

Ritz reassures growers open markets coming Countering court actions | Federal ag minister digs in for any fights looming over Canada’s changing grain marketing system BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

MOOSE JAW, Sask. — Federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz reassured farmers and grain companies last week that they have nothing to fear from lawsuits aimed at delaying Western Canada’s transition to an open grain marketing system. Speaking to a supportive audience at the Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association convention in Moose Jaw, Sask., Ritz said Ottawa is prepared to fight every legal challenge that single-desk supporters launch. He said legal attempts to derail

Ottawa’s legislative agenda would be overcome. He also encouraged the industry to base its business decisions on the premise that single-desk marketing will be eliminated, as expected, Aug.1. “At the end of the day, this is a done deal folks,” Ritz said. “We know that there will be more (lawsuits) and we know that there will be challenges going forward … but we look forward to addressing each and every one of those challenges, again, with your help. “We will be there to challenge (our opponents) in court and to appeal every decision should they be against

(open marketing).” Despite Ottawa’s assurances, there are lingering concerns within the industry that outstanding legal challenges to the Marketing Freedom for Grain Farmers Act could complicate the transition to an open market environment. The next court ruling pertaining to the legality of the act is scheduled to take place later this month. Beginning Jan. 17, former Canadian Wheat Board chair Allen Oberg and seven other ousted CWB directors will appear at the Court of Queen’s Bench in Winnipeg to argue for a court injunction delaying implementation of the act until access=subscriber section=news,none,none

the legality of the bill has been determined. In a separate but related lawsuit, Ottawa is appealing a Federal Court of Canada ruling that Ritz broke the law when he ignored provisions in the former CWB Act. That act stipulated that western Canadian farmers must be consulted before any legislative changes are made to the CWB. A date for that appeal has yet to be announced. Ritz told producers and industry stakeholders that the best way to disarm litigants is to continue signing delivery contracts with private grain companies and negotiating deliveries with the new CWB, which is now operated by five governmentappointed directors. Significant contract activity with private industry will serve as evidence that the transition to an open market has producer support. “I know that hundreds of contracts have been signed to this point (with private grain handlers),” said Ritz. “Anybody who has signed a contract, get me a copy of that because we want to have those contracts sitting there on the table when we go into that court room. “We want to go in there with a stack of contracts for the hundreds of million of dollars of business that we have done in the last lessthan-a-month, just to show that the ball is rolling and that farmers are starting to take up the challenge on this.” Paul Orsak, a grain farmer from Binscarth, Man., said wheat producers are pleased with the way private s e c t o r g r a i n c o m p a n i e s h av e responded to the passage of the Marketing Freedom for Grain Farmers Act. He said several companies began offering contracts within days of the act receiving royal assent. In some cases, those contracts offered prices that were $1 per bushel or more above the CWB’s Pool Return Outlook for top quality, high-protein milling wheat. “I was pleased to see some of the companies step right up to the plate in spite of the fact that there are still some legal risks out there,” said Orsak. “I haven’t done any contracting yet myself with the trade. They (the grain companies) weren’t all in the market right off the bat so I’m sort of waiting until they’re all in there, competing with one another. “I think there are quite a few farmers who are waiting for the smoke to clear, so to speak. In the early stages, I think a lot of guys are still a little bit uncertain as to where things are at.” Orsak said many farmers expect prices to improve as the industry becomes more accustomed to the new market environment. Kevin Bender, a grain farmer from Bentley, Alta., and WCWGA president, agreed that his members are happy with the way the market is evolving. At the same time, there is lingering uncertainty about how the new CWB intends to compete for grain that is in storage on prairie farms, he said. B e n d e r s a i d t h e d i f f e re n t i a l

We will be there to challenge (our opponents) in court and to appeal every decision should they be against (open marketing).” GERRY RITZ FEDERAL AGRICULTURE MINISTER

between current PROs and industry prices being offered after Aug. 1 are significant. As a result, the industry is expecting that some farmers will postpone deliveries of old crop wheat over the next seven months in anticipation of higher returns this fall. “Personally, I haven’t signed any contracts (for fall delivery) yet, but I’ve heard from other people that (fall) prices are quite a bit more attractive than what the current PRO is suggesting,” Bender said. “I think that one of the questions that the wheat board has to address is how can we ensure that there’s not going to be a hiccup (in deliveries) between now and August and how do we ensure that grain keeps on moving through the system.” Bender said the C WB’s newly appointed board members may have to come up with a short-term mechanism that ensures more equitable pricing between old crop that was harvested last fall and new crop that is delivered after Aug. 1. The board should also clarify its intentions on Series B and C contracts, added Henry Vos, a WCWGA member and former farmer-elected CWB director. Vos said some producers made a business decision last year not to sign any of their 2011 production to a Series A contract. In lieu of Series B and C delivery, those producers may be forced to store grain until the busy fall season. When asked if the CWB was looking at ways to draw more of the 2011 crop into the market, Ritz said he was scheduled to meet with wheat board directors Jan. 9 to discuss outstanding issues. Some WCWGA members suggested that the CWB should implement a no-cost buy-back for 2011 grain. Ritz rejected that idea but reminded farmers that the timely movement of grain is critical to the industry’s well being. Significant hold backs could lead to costly logistical problems in the new crop year, he added. “It’s certainly your right to retain your product … but we want to ensure there is timely movement of product all the way through,” he said. “You have the right to hold (grain) … but no-cost buy-backs, at this point for the existing … (crop), are not on the table.”

CANOLA | CHLOROPHYLL TESTING

Canola chlorophyll test assessment nears completion Capital investment needed for equipment | Machine valued at $17,000 and is needed at primary elevators if the test is adopted BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The Canadian Grain Commission is continuing to assess a machine that determines chlorophyll content in canola shipments delivered to country elevators. Randy Dennis, the commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief grain inspector, said last week that a program aimed at assessing the machineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accuracy and applicability is nearly complete. A decision to adopt the new technology on an industry-wide basis could be made as early as 2013. However, the Western Standards Committee must first review the results of the assessment, and a decision must be made on whether to continue looking at the pros and cons of adopting the new technology. If it is eventually adopted, the system would provide a science-based alternative to the crush and count system now used to determine chlorophyll content in producersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; canola deliveries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are thinking at this point that the machine has very good potential,â&#x20AC;? said Dennis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect (a decision) at least for another year because thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of work that still has to go in.â&#x20AC;? The machine that the commission is testing is called the Instalab 600. It weighs 65 pounds and is manufactured by Dickey-john, an American company that makes grain monitoring systems, electronic controllers, moisture testers, ground speed sensors and GPS systems. The machine uses a technology known as near infrared reflectance spectroscope and is capable of testing a canola sample in approximately a minute. The grain commission bought five of the machines in 2010 and installed three of them in country elevators in Western Canada. The remaining two were installed in port facilities. Canola deliveries were sampled and tested at point of delivery and again when the canola arrived at port position. Samples from each delivery were also sent to the commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head office in Winnipeg for additional testing. Test results from all three locations were then compared to determine if variations in chlorophyll values fell within an acceptable range. The evaluation of the Instalab 600 is part of a larger CGC initiative to reduce dependence on visual assessment methods now used to assess grain quality in Western Canada. The commission would like to move away from visual assessments and toward science-based systems that are more accurate and less subjective. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Grading canola now, and assessing distinctly green seeds, is subjective, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to take out of (the system),â&#x20AC;? Dennis said. New technology adopted by the western Canadian grain industry must first go through a lengthy review process that includes assessment by the grain commission, review by the Western Standards Committee, approval for further study and discussion of the technologyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s merit and applicability by industry stakeholders, including access=subscriber section=news,none,none

producers, processors, grain handlers and exporters. Dennis said a machine that has the potential to produce rapid and accurate test results would take much of the guesswork out of canola grading, but it could also give rise to other concerns. Because the machine has the potential to assign precise numeric values to chlorophyll content, adoption of the machinery wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t likely occur until the industry has had an opportunity to discuss new chlorophyll thresholds for different grades of canola. The machine measures chloro-

phyll content in parts per million. In addition, the cost of buying and installing the machines and training elevator staff to use them could be prohibitive. Dennis said grain companies would likely be responsible for buying the machines and installing them at every primary elevator if the technology is adopted on an industrywide basis. The machines are valued at about $17,000 each. Grain companies may not consider that type of capital investment necessary or worthwhile, Dennis added.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Is it economically viable to put one of these pieces of equipment into each of the primary elevators and terminals and for the elevator staff to work with?â&#x20AC;? he said. The commission had hoped to conduct multiple tests on 500 to 600 canola deliveries before sharing results of its assessment with the Western Standards Committee this spring. About 480 samples had been conducted as of last week. Dennis said sufficient testing is likely to be completed by the time the committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oilseeds subcommittee meets in March. From there, the com-

mittee will determine if the technology warrants further consideration. Meanwhile, CGC attempts to find a machine that assesses wheat quality at the point of delivery have hit another snag. In collaboration with a private sector partner, the commission had been testing an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) system to detect enzymes that are released when a wheat kernel begins to sprout. However, the private-sector partner has since withdrawn support for the project.

Producers who are sitting on flax supplies should stay on their perch for awhile, says a market analyst. “I would not be selling at these depressed levels,” Larry Weber of Weber Commodities told growers attending the Flax Day 2012 portion of Crop Production Week. “Right now you are in the driver’s seat.” He believes prices have to rise at least $2 to $3 per bushel for flax to remain competitive with canola. New crop canola is selling for $12 per bu. delivered. New crop flax bids are $11 per bu. Using last year’s yields, that results in a $136.40 gross revenue per acre advantage for canola. Weber acknowledged that flax seed doesn’t cost as much as canola seed, but that is still a huge difference to overcome, especially given that farmers are paying to test their flax seed for Triffid contamination. “If there are buyers in this room today, either you guys start anteing up flax bids or I don’t think that we can get to half a million acres next year. The math doesn’t work,” he said. Growers seeded 694,000 acres of flax last year, down 230,000 acres from the previous year. Dropping to 500,000 acres would be a big blow for a struggling crop. “At 500,000 acres, flax is going to become a rye,” said Weber. He believes the solution to the flax industry’s woes is to lose the focus on export markets in favour of a domestic crush industry, sparking a “canola-type revolution” that could help stabilize acres.

Weber said there are huge profits in crushing flax. By his calculation, a facility could realize a gross margin of $226 per tonne. “When you take a look at the margins that are available on the flax seed, I’m hard pressed to understand why we don’t have any crushing facilities here,” he said. There is one crusher in Manitoba and one in Saskatchewan, but they are small operations. Weber believes there is room for another 150,000 to 200,000 tonnes of crush capacity. Weber said the industry could stop exporting value-added margins to China if that capacity is constructed. China is crushing the crop and marketing the oil to the European Union. “That has got to stop,” he said. SaskFlax director Dave Sefton said the solution isn’t as easy as Weber is portraying. The Saskatchewan Flax Development Commission has been studying the issue for years and the problem is always what to do with the meal. He noted that meal comprises 60 percent of what a crush facility produces, but flax meal isn’t as valued as canola and soybean meal. As well, it can be difficult to find a home for the product. A crusher would have to ship the meal to Asia or the European Union, but that is an expensive prospect. Weber said the canola industry had the same dilemma until it found a good market for its meal in dairies in the U.S. Pacific Northwest. He told Sefton that finding a solution to the meal dilemma should be the association’s personal mission in 2012 and that governments should also step up because the industry desperately needs more domestic crushers. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

SOYBEANS | DISEASE

Soybean root rot sets off wake-up call for growers Spread out rotations | Spores can surviving for long periods in the soil BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Soybeans’ honeymoon in Manitoba’s Red River Valley is ending and now the annoying relatives are beginning to visit and stay. Soybeans are going to remain a popular part of the rotation in any area that can grow them, experts say, but farmers will begin treating them as carefully as any other prairie crop now that common diseases are showing up. “Rotation: there’s no substitute for it,” Dennis Lange, an Altona-based Manitoba Agriculture farm production adviser, told St. Jean Farm Days in St. Jean Baptiste, Man., Jan. 4. “This year we’re starting to see some root rot, so those rotations are going to have to be spread out.” Phytophthora, a common form of root rot in soybean-growing regions, has not become a big factor in Manitoba yet, but its appearance in a number of places in 2011 means farmers will need to get prepared for the crop to become harder to manage. From almost no acreage a decade ago, soybeans have roared up the Red River Valley from the United States and taken over a large acreage of the rich valley land. Almost 600,000 acres of soybeans were sown in Manitoba in 2011 and this year 700,000 acres are expected to be planted. Short season varieties have allowed the crop not only to move to the northern end of the valley, but also up over the escarpment onto the western plains, with pockets of soybeans now being found from Winnipeg to the eastern half of Saskatchewan. Farmers have been able to enjoy the benefits of the new crop with few of the crop’s usual problems, but crop advisers at Farm Days said the appearance of phytophthora root rot probably means farmers have been pushing their rotations and need to get back to good agronomic practices, with three to four years between soybean crops. “It’s not widespread, but we’re starting to see it and once you see it you really have to be on top of it,” said Morris-area Cargill crop adviser Brunel Sabourin. “Perhaps it’s a bit of a wake-up call.” Phytophthora wasn’t the only type access=subscriber section=crops,news,none

of root rot seen last summer, but it was the main one. For some farmers, the disease’s problems didn’t appear during the saturated early part of the growing season, when problems would usually be expected to be noticed. Instead, they came later, during the dry second half of the summer. That could have been a sign of the rot-afflicted root systems being

unable to keep up with the plants’ water demand once the dry conditions set in. Phytophthora is a family of diseases that afflicts everything from potatoes to oak trees to rhododendrons. Phytophthora infestans was the cause of the 1845-49 potato famine in Ireland. Phytophthora sojae is the form that strikes soybean plants.

other water experts at the U of S will study the land and water around Tobacco Creek, near Miami, Man., over the next several years. Last year, the Canadian Water Network announced that Tobacco Creek would be one of four research locations in Canada to share $2.1 million in funding. Scientists at the four locations, two in Ontario, one in New Brunswick and Tobacco Creek, will monitor water quality and quantity in each watershed. Howard Wheater, the Canada Excellence Research Chair in Water Security at the U of S, will lead the research team at Tobacco Creek. The team, which includes Baulch, will design and deploy a water monitoring network for the watershed. The Canadian Water Network funding will allow scientists to expand the scope of the Tobacco Creek project, said Les McEwan, a farmer from Altamont, Man., who chairs the Tobacco Creek Model Watershed research consortium. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All the work weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been doing until now has occurred on 27 sq. miles of the watershed. This takes us out to about a 400 sq. mile watershed,â&#x20AC;? he said. While research on Tobacco Creek began in 1989, the federal and Manitoba governments have used the watershed to evaluate agricultural BMPs since 2003. Scientists have monitored water quality and quantity in the watershed to understand the impact of BMPs such as riparian area management and livestock wintering site management. Baulch said work at Tobacco Creek has substantially contributed to understanding scientific links between BMPs and environmental goals. Expand areas One of the goals of this new project is to transfer knowledge gained from Tobacco Creek to other landscapes and watersheds. Water on the Tobacco Creek runs west to east out of the Manitoba escarpment, a series of ridges and hills that cuts across the province. Over the last two decades, scientists have studied small dams in the Tobacco Creek area that trap sediment and prevent nutrients from flowing into larger watersheds further downstream, such as the Red River. Baulch said one of the goals in the next stage of research is to determine if such practices work on other landscapes. Data collected on nutrients, sediment and water quantity in the Tobacco Creek watershed will also allow scientists to assess the effectiveness of specific BMPs in a variety of watersheds, with different topography, soil conditions and water flow. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That comes under the computer modeling component,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can take parameters from another watershed, plug them into that computer model and take the results weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve collected here and extrapolate them to a watershed with slightly different conditions.â&#x20AC;?

FORAGES | RESEARCH

Increased research in forages benefits cattle industry Improving forages reduces feeding costs BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Forage production could be impeded as research funding is directed toward more lucrative annual crops. Trent Whiting, a marketing representative with Secan, told the recent Canadian Forage and Grassland Association conference in Saskatoon that 14 public institutions were breeding native and tame forages in 1975. There were seven in 2011, and many researchers are nearing retirement. “Everybody in this room is a user of those genetics,” he said. “We need to get behind it and support them or we’re going to lose it.” Whiting said it’s quicker to develop new cereal varieties and harder to justify investment in forage breeding when forage stands are only reseeded every five to seven years. “Private industry is developing all these new varieties ever y year because they can sell them every year,” said association chair Doug Wray. “There’s a cash flow there that really works, but on the perennial forage side, it’s almost dysfunctional that way because the more successful you are, the less seed you eventually sell.” Reynold Bergen, science director with the Beef Cattle Research Council, said research has improved winter yield losses and developed swath grazing practices that cut winter feeding costs and labour. “Increased investment in forage investment isn’t hard at all to justify,” he said. Bergen said the research council, which the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association established to identify research and development priorities, used to direct 10 percent of its funds toward forage research. That percentage is now 20 percent. “If we could keep Canada’s beef cows and replacement heifers on pasture for one more day every winter instead of keeping them in the corral ... we could probably save the cow-calf sector close to $4 million every year.” He said the beef industry will benefit as research identifies appropriate species mixtures for swath grazing and develops alternative forage and grassland management strategies. “We’re going to need the public to invest in the industry and their payback will be the environmental goods and services,” said Wray. “The payback to the industry itself will be a more productive industry that can produce a safer, higherquality meat or milk product.” Wray said forages and grasslands are the biggest acreage crops in a country with a short growing season and lots of land unsuitable for cash crops. As a result, it’s important that the industry and the public get the most from them. access=subscriber section=news,livestock,crops

“Everybody here talked about the environmental impact ... of those forage acres,” he said. “We’re going to have to leverage that for the public good to get public money, government money, to back some of that science.”

Market-based water allocation system has drawbacks: report Environmental and public interests not addressed BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

A recent report says Alberta’s proposed water market based on supply and demand does not ensure environmental protection. | FILE PHOTO

A report released earlier this month by the Parkland Institute warns that a proposed Alberta water market should be considered in a wider context. It said the environment, First Nations rights and water quality standards should be part of the conversation when the government holds public consultations on the future of water allocation in the province. The report, Alternative Water Futures in Alberta, was written by

Jeremy Schmidt, a Trudeau scholar in geology at the University of Western Ontario. “Choosing a one-model fix is not necessarily going to work as sort of a rubber stamp across the province,” Schmidt said in a Dec. 8 interview. “This is a conversation that we need to have about what will work for all Albertans. What we need is a solution that works for all, not just one that sort of fixes certain problems the market can handle.” A provincial water authority was first recommended in a report released by the Premier’s Council for access=subscriber section=news,none,none

Economic Strategy. It suggests oversight of a water allocation exchange that would “give holders of water licenses more opportunity to sell, lease or trade some or all of their right to draw water. “Such changes will allow licensees holding water allocations they are not currently using or no longer need to lease or sell this surplus to others within the watershed at a price set by market forces of supply and demand.” Schmidt said his paper, as well as three government reports, agree on the need to ensure environmental protection of water, which is not guaranteed in a system based on supply and demand. As well, such a system wouldn’t take into account the social values that underpin existing policy and the desires of communities, industries and individuals regarding water use and allocation, he said. The province has said hearings will take place in 2012 to help prepare for changes to the water act. Schmidt said the release of his report is calculated to provide additional food for thought before those hearings occur. “That’s an invitation, in my view, not to just try to solve one set of problems. That’s an invitation to achieve the best solution.” Water rights

Southern Alberta’s water system is fully allocated and no new licences are allowed. Much of it is governed under the first in time, first in right (FITFIR) policy, under which early and long-term holders of water licences retain rights. Schmidt acknowledged FITFIR is controversial, but it does indicate historical decisions and values that prevented the richest from owning all land and water rights. “There are problems with FITFIR … but one of the things we might want to do before just scrapping it is to say if we want to maintain an idea that water is part of healthy communities and of achieving a certain vision of distributive justice, then maybe what we should do is look at expanding the community of who counts.” The report was publicized by the Our Water Is Not For Sale network. In a letter to Alberta environment and water minister Diana McQueen, the network said it appears only market options are being considered with regard to water. It asks the province to consider the bigger picture. “Once a market-based water allocation system is established, it will be irreversible because of obligations under international trade agreements,” said the letter. “The government’s exclusive focus on a market-based system does not provide policy makers or people in Alberta with the full range of options before them, including ones that prioritize treaty rights and environmental and public interest objectives.”

Ottawa says Canada’s food safety system is much better than it was three years after a deadly outbreak of listeria in ready-to-eat meat from a Maple Leaf Foods plant.

safer food safety system in Canada,” agriculture minister Gerry Ritz and health minister Leona Aglukkaq said in a joint statement. “At the federal level, the organizations responsible for food safety and for public health are now better equipped to collaborate and co-ordinate government actions to prevent, detect and respond to potential food safety risks.” Brian Evans, Canada’s chief food safety officer and chief veterinary officer, said the major improvement is in how system players co-ordinate efforts. “There have been resources, but I think the more substantive issue is there have been systems change,” he said. “The biggest change has been to have access to better quality, more quantity and more timely information on which to make risk-based decisions, and that has been fundamental.” Evans said government agencies, i n c l u d i n g t h e Ca na d i a n Fo o d Inspection Agency, have become more adept at understanding how technology advances and new product production in food plants create different food safety risks. Inspectors depend on companies to provide data on how food safety and risk of contamination are controlled. The information is audited and verified. He said the 2008 listeria crisis did not result from complacency in the food inspection and safety system, but the incident was “a wake-up call, absolutely” that something was amiss and food safety protections needed to be updated. “I don’t think it was so much complacency as a reality that food production was changing,” he said. New products, equipment and assembly line techniques were being introduced throughout the food industry, and regulators were not keeping up. “They (regulators) had not done the diligence necessary to validate the risk profile of industry as establishments were changing over time,” he said. “I don’t think it was complacency so much as it was an issue where the nature and complexity of what was being produced in some of these plants got ahead of our ability to assess the risks.” Evans said the system is moving to more emphasis on company responsibility for food safety, more transparency in reporting what is being done and more attention to plants with “persistent problems of compliance.” The CFIA is launching a public consultation on proposals for further changes that will put even more responsibility on food companies to design and implement modern food safety processes. The agency would put more emphasis on oversight and auditing than physical inspecting. “It is about making sure we are less interventionist, less prescriptive, more outcome based,” said Evans. In her report, Weatherill said part of the problem was confusion in roles and lines of responsibility. The government said departments and various levels of government are now better prepared to work together when a crisis develops.

VIRUS RESEARCH | CENSORSHIP

Publication ban on virus research bad precedent: experts Push to censor journals | The U.S. National Institutes of Health wants to ban details on how to mutate the bird flu virus to affect humans

The U.S. National Institutes of Health funded two research teams in The Netherlands and Wisconsin to carry out research into how the virus could become more transmissible in humans. The aim was to gain early insight into how to contain the public health threat if such a mutation occurred naturally. However, the NSABB now says it wants publication of the studies censored to stop the information from falling into the wrong hands. “It’s very important work that has shown that with relative ease it is possible to mutate H5N1 into a mammal-to-mammal transmissible virus,” said Openshaw. Wendy Barclay, an expert in flu virology at Imperial College, said stopping the Science and Nature journals from publishing full scientific data would do little more than set an uncomfortable precedent. “The exact mutations that made this transformation possible were not particularly novel or unexpected, so anyone with a reasonable knowledge of influenza virology could probably guess at them if they so wished,” she said. “I’m not convinced that withholding scientific know-how will prevent the highly unlikely scenario of misuse of information, but I am worried access=subscriber section=news,none,none

target at any one group or population. In contrast, the anthrax powder attacks in the United States in 2001, which prompted the formation of the NSABB, were able to be highly targeted by the perpetrators, who sent

the powder in letters to particular groups and individuals. “(With H5N1), you’d really have to have a grudge against the whole of humanity,” Openshaw said. “These would be very indiscrimi-

nate bioweapons that couldn’t be controlled. They wouldn’t be selective. So it would be a very bizarre decision for someone to release an agent like this, because it would cull humanity.”

LONDON, U.K. (Reuters) — Any number of laboratories worldwide could engineer bird flu viruses into bioterror weapons capable of causing a human pandemic, and U.S. g ov e r n m e n t e f f o r t s t o c e n s o r research might only increase the risk that rogue elements may give it a try. Experts say an unprecedented request by the U.S. National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity (NSABB) for two leading scientific journals to withhold details of research into H5N1 bird flu is unlikely to block anyone already intent on evil. Yet ironically, the fact that the potential for H5N1 to be deliberately engineered into a highly pathogenic form has become headline news might put fresh thoughts into the wrong minds. “Anything like this has the potential to trigger ideas in some maverick,” said Peter Openshaw, director of the centre for respiratory infection at Britain’s Imperial College. “There are many crazy people out there, and there are also people who a re f i x e d o n s o m e i d e a a t t h e extreme end of the political norm. Both groups have the potential to cause harm.” H5N1 bird flu is extremely deadly in people who are directly exposed to it from infected birds. About 600 people have contracted the virus since it was first detected in 1997, and more than half of them have died. However, it has not mutated into a form that can pass easily from person to person. Scientists have worked for years trying to figure out which mutations would give H5N1 the ability to spread easily from one person to another, while at the same time maintaining its deadly properties.

CANADIAN INTERNATIONAL GRAINS INSTITUTE | OUTLOOK

Methods change but grain commission still solving problems The CIGI has more technology at its fingertips to create the best flour for bread or make the perfect noodle

CIGI baking expert Tony Tweed checks the crumb structure and other attributes of bread baked from wheat used to supply Britain’s Warburton’s. | ED WHITE PHOTO

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Last year they hauled out the last piece of original machinery from the Canadian International Grains Institute. That leaves baking expert Tony Tweed as the only item from the organization’s 1972 birth still left in place. “An oven’s pretty much an oven,” said Tweed, explaining the piece of machinery’s longevity. His personal longevity, and the longevity and vitality of CIGI, are due to constant technical upgrading and increasing sophistication that have kept CIGI relevant to the Canadian grain industry and to buyers of Canadian grains around the world. Rather than becoming irrelevant as the milling and baking industries — and the farming and plant breeding industries that support t h e m — hav e c ha n g e d , C I G I’s move up the technical ladder has taken it to levels never conceived of 40 years ago. As Tweed was being interviewed in his office in CIGI’s downtown Winnipeg headquarters, a roomful of Saudi millers were on another floor being taught the finer points of using specific Canadian grains, grades and classes, another room full of Pulse Canada members were discussing food applications of pulse crops, Asian noodle formulations were being tried out in the noodle labora-

tory, pulse flours were being tested in the pulse lab, and bread for British baker Warburton’s was being judged. One team of CIGI staff was in Colombia working with buyers of Canadian grains, while some CIGI experts were in Malaysia solving a noodle manufacturing problem. So, overall, it was a pretty average day at CIGI. Tweed said the world CIGI was born into is radically different from today. Back in the early 1970s, few Canadians had advanced technical skills (hence his poaching by Canada from the U.K., where he had spent years becoming a certified baker), so there was big demand for a centre that could push skills out to millers, bakers, plant breeders and farmers. And overseas buyers were often isolated, beset by technical problems and unable to resolve their challenges. “If you were a baker in Kenya and you had a problem, what would you do,” said Tweed, recalling a world in which international phone calls often weren’t possible, local sources of information didn’t exist, there were no fax machines and the internet was decades away. CIGI’s courses were a hit from the start, and immediately both foreigners and Canadians began trooping to Winnipeg for instruction. “We had people from all the world’s grain buyers here in the first couple of years,” said Tweed. “People from

those same buying countries still come to Winnipeg, but with different needs and time commitments.” Back in the early 1970s, when international air travel was a luxury and educational opportunities like CIGI’s exceedingly rare, people would come for six-week courses. Now, with travel quick and easy, and a world of technical information available on every computer connected to the internet, buyers come with much more refined needs and interests. The CIGI building in the Portage and Main area looks like a regular office building, but inside it’s a bustling beehive of industrial and commercial activity. The agency hopes to move before its abilities become restricted by physical size and scope. It is stretching the limits of its custom-built building with processes it never expected to be undertaking in 1972. But with all the revolutionary changes in the world’s milling, baking, farming and plant breeding industries, it doesn’t see its role changing any, even if its approach is continually modified. People around the world no longer need basic instruction, but have demanding technical requirements. “CIGI is widening its role, expanding its services very significantly,” said Tweed, pondering his upcoming retirement and the end of his reign as CIGI’s last remaining piece of original equipment. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

LONDON, U.K. (Reuters) — Joey the horse, Jimson the mule and other forgotten four-legged war heroes are being remembered in the first exhibition to focus on war horses in British military history.

purgo, explores the real-life stories of the millions of horses and mules that bore officers into battle in the Charge of the Light Brigade or trudged through fields of mud in the First World War to transport ammunition. “Horses played a big role in World War One, and that was one of the things that came across to us when we were preparing for the exhibition,” said curator Pip Dodd. “We were amazed at how much we had in our collection, as little material survives about the horses that did the pulling and the carrying. Normally there tends only to be material on officers’ horses.… We wanted to look at the forgotten heroes, as three-quarters of the horses used by the army were carrying and pulling, not ridden by officers in the cavalry, and their story is one that should be told.” Hand-written notebooks by poet and soldier Siegfried Sassoon on horse care and the riding crop of field marshal Douglas Haig, who ordered the fateful British offensive at the Somme, are among the many artifacts on display, as well as three medals awarded to Jimson the mule, the only mule to receive medals from his regiment. Jimson worked in India in the 1890s before being moved to serve in the Boer War, Dodd said. “We’re not sure why Jimson was awarded the medals, but it was probably for something like carrying ammunition, something really vital that saved men’s lives,” Dodd said. “We also have a photo of Jimson with his medals. His handler is standing proudly next to him wearing his own medals, but he doesn’t have as many as Jimson.” The exhibition is the latest offshoot inspired by Michael Morpurgo’s 1982 novel War Horse, the story of Joey, a red bay farm horse and one of the six million horses sent to work on First World War battlefields. The children’s tale has sparked recent widespread interest in the role of horses in war, forming the basis for both a London theatre production with life-sized puppets and a film directed by Steven Spielberg. “Millions of horses were killed in World War One, so it’s not a comfortable topic,” Morpurgo said. “A lot of people shy away from the subject and we don’t like to think about it. Many people wrote to me and told me they could not finish the book because it was too uncomfortable for them to read.” However, the widespread success of Joey the horse’s story comes from its capacity to personalize war for the reader, Morpurgo said. “War Horse works because it enables people to go back to the time of World War One but somehow personalizes it. War is so great a horror that it is difficult to understand, but if you personalize a tragedy it allows you to make sense of it. “The horses were the innocent victims of war, like the soldiers, and Joey represents this.”

UNIVERSITY OF SASKATCHEWAN RESEARCH | CROPS

Director’s industry expertise an asset for CDC position Tap public sector | Partnerships give investors more bang for their buck, says the new managing director SASKATOON NEWSROOM

One of Canada’s most productive plant breeding institutions has a new managing director. Kofi Agblor took over the top job at the University of Saskatchewan’s Crop Development Centre Jan. 1. Agblor was born in Ghana and studied in Africa and the United Kingdom before moving to Canada in the late 1980s. He received a Ph. D in agricultural engineering from the University of Manitoba and moved to Saskatchewan in 1998. Since then, he has worked with Saskatchewan Agriculture as a manger with the Agriculture Development Fund (ADF) and with the Saskatchewan Pulse Growers as director of research, a position he held for six years. Agblor replaces former CDC director Dorothy Murrell, who left the centre at the end of 2011. Agblor’s work experience is wellsuited to his new position. Saskatchewan Agriculture is a key source of financing for the CDC and has provided core funding to the centre for many years. Agblor said his experience with the ADF and his knowledge of government operations will prove valuable in helping the CDC meet its objectives. “Having worked there, I know how government operates and I still have friends in the ministry,” he said. During his time with Saskatchewan Pulse Growers, Agblor played a key role in negotiating a unique commercialization agreement between the SPG and the CDC. The agreement allows the SPG to distribute new CDC pulse varieties, royalty free, to selected pedigreed seed growers. In exchange, the SPG provides the centre with base funding to help pay for pulse breeding and varietal development work. Agblor said one of the CDC’s top priorities is to maintain strong relationships with government funding partners and primary producers, w h o s u p p o r t C D C o p e ra t i o n s through checkoffs. Another key issue is to identify new commercialization models and explore new relationships, including private sector partnerships, that will allow the CDC to increase revenues and maximize returns on plant breeding investments. “The intent is to identify the best ways of ensuring that the intellectual property of the CDC is leveraged to the maximum,” said Agblor. Partnerships between publicly funded breeding institutions and private sector companies are expected to become more common as governments and university plant breeders look for new ways to ensure stable, long-term funding. Agblor said the CDC will continue to explore partnerships within the private sector. However, government funding and access=subscriber section=news,none,none

producer investments will remain a critical component in the CDC’s overall funding picture. “It is easy to assume that the private sector can do everything, but I don’t think that it can,” he said. “Public breeding has an important role to play. It is (important) to ensure that … the public sector is still engaged.”

As the new director of the University of Saskatchewan’s Crop Development Centre, Kofi Agblor will be responsible for all aspects of the centre’s work, such as this flax seeding project from 2009. | FILE PHOTO

EQUIPMENT | GRAIN BAGS

Company thinks outside the bag Vacuum bags | Dangerous situation prompts company to design grain bag auger BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

FARGO, N.D. — Trying to quickly and efficiently empty a grain bag is the storage method’s obvious disadvantage, but the task can also be physically dangerous. As well, grain vacuums can create a special set of risks. “Most farmers already have a grain vac,” says Mark Patterson of Walinga. The vacuums create tremendous suction energy when moving large quantities of grain pneumatically. That suction can trap and suffocate a hose operator if plastic material wraps around him inside the bag. “It’s an issue some people don’t want to talk about much,” says Patterson, whose company is offering a new product that safely takes advantage of the vacuum when recovering grain from a bag. “People who have first-hand experience with the risk are more than willing to talk about it. We all think we can fight our way out of a plastic bag, but a grain bag isn’t just a regular plastic bag. Think about it. It has to be strong to contain all that grain.” Patterson, who exhibited his company’s new FlexStor Vac Attach bag unloader at a trade show in Fargo last year, said he was surprised by the number of farmers who talked to him about people they knew who died emptying a bag with a grain vac. “Excess bag material from the front gets sucked back into the bag where the guy is picking up grain. It instantly wraps around his arms and his head. He’s like an Egyptian mummy,” Patterson said. “Can’t use the cell phone. Can’t reach for a knife in your pocket. Can’t move your arms or legs and you can’t even breathe if your head is covered. It’s totally air-tight and the tremendous suction just keeps on pumping out more air, making the plastic tighter.” Patterson said most producers who looked at the machine talked about efficiency, but safety was also a motivation. “Many of the farmers who decided to buy (our product) were buying because they saw that it’s a safer way to unload a grain bag.” Tom Linde, Walinga’s North American sales manager in Guelph, Ont., said the company is aware of the dangers. “It happened to one of our customers in Iowa. He was using the grain vac to empty a grain bag and it instantly wrapped him up,” he said. “But he was the lucky one. He was able to reach his knife before the access=subscriber section=crops,none,none

plastic got too tight and he cut himself free. He said he’d never go into another grain bag for as long as he lives. It’s just not a smart thing to do.” The FlexStor Vac Attach Grain Unloader 1055 was developed by Koyker Manufacturing in Lennox, South Dakota, and marketed by Walinga. Koyker says it is the largest auger of its type on the market. In designing the Vac Attach, the company focused on the overall expense of grain bagging systems and the risk in getting grain out of bags. “This is just an addition to the input end so you can bring grain directly from the bag, through your grain vac and into your truck,” Patterson said. “Vac Attach has two knives that tear the bag in half. This creates a natural flow for the grain into the two horizontal augers, while the hydraulic motor rolls up the two halves of the bag.” Both augers feed to the middle, where the Agri-Vac suction hose picks up the grain. The hydraulic motor winds up the two halves of the bag as it pulls the Agri-Vac and Vac Attach assembly further into the bag inch by inch. Once emptied, the bag has been equally sliced left and right and wrapped up onto two separate spools for easy removal by one person.

The Vac Attach requires a minimum of 100 horsepower and a Category II three point hitch. It needs two hydraulic outlets and a 540 r.p.m. power take-off. The 8,000 bushel per hour attachment that fits on a Walinga Agri-Vac costs $16,500. Walinga, which is the Canadian distributor of the Vac Attach, will exhibit it at the Crop Production Show in Saskatoon and Manitoba Ag Days in Brandon. For more information, visit www. koykermfg.com.

When Walinga management saw the Koyker built Vac Attach Grain Bag Unloader, they realized this was the machine they needed to safely transfer grain from a bag into their Agri-Vac. The hydraulic motor powers the spools, which roll up the two halves of the bag, pulling the augers and grain vac further into the bag. | RON LYSENG PHOTOS

CONSTRUCTION | SHELTERS

Wide range of shapes, sizes, materials for farm sheds Do-it-yourself or crew built | Small, freestanding shelters cost around $1,500, while larger structures cost upward of $30,000 BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

When LaVern Dueck started manufacturing Diamond Shelters 22 years ago, the egg-shaped, steel-frame structures were a relatively new feature on the prairie landscape. Today, Dueck, president of Dueck’s Mechanical in Whitemouth, Man., manufactures the single-hoop and welded-truss shelters for a variety of purposes — everything from cold storage and insulated workshops to horse riding. “It was a steel frame with a fabric cover. Quick and easy to set up, low cost and it just wasn’t a conventional style, stud-frame barn that guys were using,” said Dueck. “It just worked out to have some potential areas in the livestock applications where they could use them and it saved the guys quite a bit of money.” The structures are among many options available to those looking at farm sheds. It’s a full market, featuring everything from small popup sheds costing a few hundred dollars at a box store to large, fully heated and customized workshops with a concrete foundation costing upward of $30,000. A c o m m o n l y b u i l t s t r u c t u re, explained Herb Hamm, is a 12 meter wide and 19.5 metre deep farm shop — probably four to 4.5 metres high — with wood studs and metal roof and walls. That will take a construction crew a few days to build, said the general manager of Zak’s Building and Supplies & Contracting in Hague, Sask., and cost roughly $22,000, excluding concrete costs. That’s the basic build, but a customer can customize the design to meet specific needs: a bigger building, different coloured walls, bigger windows, more windows, a mezzanine inside or a change from a sliding to an overhead or bi-fold door. “When it comes to shops, the standard is just your plain Jane (design). The upgrade in colours is probably the easiest and simplest way of upgrading a building other than just plain galvanized,” said Hamm.

“But as in trims and stuff there’s not much that guys are doing.” There are options, however, that go all the way down to a building’s skeleton. Al Williams, owner of Integrity Post Structures, has been building with perma-columns for post-frame construction for the past two years. The design uses precast concrete columns to keep wood out of the ground, allowing for a concrete foundation on a post-frame building. Instead of transitioning from untreated to treated wood, the wood columns are attached to a steel bracket and welded to a steel reinforcement that runs through the column. The design eases concerns about rot some may have when placing treated wood in the ground, Williams explained. And it’s being embraced by farmers and industry. Williams said he’s built some 300 new buildings across Western Canada this year. “The farmers have had an exceptional year this year, so we are building a lot of farm sheds, but just the fact that the oil is coming into Saskatchewan is like an injection of motivation into the bloodstream of many southern Saskatchewan farmers,” said Williams. “They’re jumping on board with the free enterprise and they’re grabbing the bull by the horns and creating the commercial facilities that the oil companies need to work and survive in the area.” Using concrete that Williams likens to that used in a bridge pier, permacolumns can add five to 10 percent to the cost of construction. It’s a portable system, too. All the materials are brought to the construction site, handy for projects in remote, rural areas without easy access to a cement plant. “There’s a certain percentage of people out there that would never, ever build post-frame because they would never, ever put wood in the ground,” said Williams. “With a perma-column, we’re reaching people we never thought we’d reach before.” The simplest build remains the one access=subscriber section=crops,none,none

you can do yourself. Diamond Structures, ranging in size from a 4.5 metre long and 11 metre wide single-hoop shelter to the bigger 8.5 metre long and 49 metre wide welded-truss shelter, are constructed from steel and covered in a

polyolefin-woven fabric. Smaller shelters can be built freestanding and come with a groundanchor package, Dueck said. The shelters can cost anywhere from $1,500 to $30,000 for a larger model. Building the structure your-

self can cut expenses. A seven by 12 metre structure could be built by a team of first-timers in two or three days, said Dueck. “If you’ve ever played with Meccano as a kid, you know how to build one of these things,” he said.

FARGO, N.D. — A new blockage monitor for air seeders uses sound and air combined with Wi-Fi wireless and IPod display. “Our experience showed there was a need for new thinking in seed and fertilizer blockage monitors,” said Chris Giese of Intelligent Agricultural Solutions in Fargo. “There were issues with the various optical and vibration based blockage monitors on the market. A different approach was required. Our new blockage monitor is acoustic based. All sensors are mechanical. There are no moving parts. No electronic sensors and no web of wires.” Giese said a seed shoots horizontally out the manifold at the top of the tower. It hits the monitor’s stainless steel disc, which is mounted at a 45-degree angle. The seed bounces off the disc and drops to the opener. The disc is like a drumhead, making a small pulse sound each time a seed strikes it. A pneumatic tube runs from the disc to a tiny microphone at the electronic control unit (ECU). Giese said the rubber tube is much like a stethoscope, with a cold steel disc at one end to pick up the noise and channel it into the rubber tube. “Instead of running the tube up to a doctor’s ears, it runs up to the microphone on the ECU. Each ECU handles 24 runs,” he said. “The ECU has to be mounted close to the manifold because the tubes carry sound accurately for only three feet. We recommend one ECU per tower. The ECU listens to each of the 24 microphones, filters the sound, processes the data, converting analog audio pulses into digital signals. The ECU then packs up the informa-

tion and sends it wirelessly via Wi-Fi to your IPad in the tractor cab.” No wires run from the sensors to the ECU or from the ECU to the cab, which means there are fewer wirerelated problems than what’s seen in conventional optical and electromechanical systems. The system detects a blockage and instantly notifies the operator. In the cab, the operator sees a graphical top view of each manifold. The blocked manifold pops up in red and gives the number of the blocked run. The system produces a beeping audible alarm if the operator doesn’t notice the red alert within 30 seconds. The sensors are built for 1 1/2 inch hoses but can be adapted to one inch or 7/8 inch. The monitors went into production in November and will be available in January as a factory option on Amity drills and as an aftermarket product on other drills. List price is $600 for each 24 run ECU unit plus $80 for each sensor. The system feeds into the operator’s IPad.

Thank$ a Billion! Your generous donations to the Friends of the Canadian Wheat Board allowed us to take Ag Minister Gerry Ritz to court for trying to destroy the CWB without first consulting prairie farmers through a vote. On December 7, 2011, Justice Douglas Campbell ruled that Mr. Ritz was in violation of Section 47.1 of the CWB Act. He told the Harper Government that it is not above the law. It too must obey the laws of Canada. Because of your moral and financial support the Friends won this court battle. But there are more court battles ahead before we win the war to save our CWB. The Federal Government is appealing Justice Campbell’s decision so we’ll be back in court again in the near future. That means more expensive legal bills. We need your financial support to win round two of this historic court battle. If you’d like to help us, please make a donation payable to:

COMBINES | GLEANERS

Inside the old Gleaners: readers’ questions addressed INSIDE MACHINES

HENRY GUENTER

his article is in response to correspondence from two Alberta owners of Gleaner combines: Wayne from St. Paul and John from the Peace River country. They had specific questions, but both said they would appreciate hearing about my experiences with the entire combine. This column is the first of two about the Gleaner. Let’s start with overloading the returns in canola. In talking to Wayne, I got the impression that he had tried everything. We had a problem that he maybe didn’t know about. The air from the fan that is supposed to blow the chaff out the back and let the grain fall onto the sieve will blow the entire mixture down onto the shoe. It will plug just about everything. When this happens, it means two parts are assembled wrong. The piece that forms part of the accelerator housing comes down to meet the piece that forms the top of the air chamber. They are both bent toward each other so that they meet vertically. A row of bolts holds these two pieces together, which can be seen from the back end. Remove the bolts and switch the two pieces so that the one in front is now behind the other one. The parts book shows it right. The lip from the air flow points down when this is set up wrong, which you can tell by the pattern it makes on the side of the combine just behind the opening. A flame-shaped wear pattern should point straight back. It will point down to the shoe if it is wrong. All the combines were made like that for a couple of years. Another common question was, “when should I change my accelerator rolls?” The book says when it is half the height of a new one, but that is not a hard and fast rule. In my experience, they should be changed when performance falls. The grain and chaff mixture comes down past that blast of air at four times the speed of gravity, which is a carefully balanced relationship. The wind will blow out some grain if the speed of the mixture comes down slower than this, and the natural response is to cut down on the wind. But now you don’t have the volume to lift the chaff off the shoe. The mixture will slow down as soon as the rolls start to wear. You need to check this every week if you are picking up a light swath in a poor year, especially if you farm in abrasive soil. The quickest way to tell if you need new rolls is if you have to continually decrease your wind because you are blowing grain out the back. The fan is a vital part of this. The blades are scooped so that they draw air from around the housing toward its middle, creating a slightly pressurized drum. To get air to flow from it, we put a cutoff bar close that draws air away access=subscriber section=production,none,none

Overloading the returns when harvesting canola can often be traced back to the improper assembly of two key parts. | from the drum and creates a partial vacuum. The pressurized air from inside the drum rushes out to fill the vacuum and it continues out, down the air chamber. These cutoff bars must be perfectly straight and an even distance from the drum. This is important. The chock sometimes gets full of chaff from the stone door opening. It will distort the cutoff bar. I would also like to talk about setting the combine in canola. I don’t think canola is blown out. Rather, it is carried out in the trash. Our job is to break up the trash before it hits the shoe, which is the idea behind the accelerator rolls. Canola is heavy and round so the wind should not blow it out. Open up your sieve and chaffer to at least onequarter inch on the bottom and three-quarter inch on top. You might plug everything, but do not give up. Leave that shoe alone for a while and play with the wind. You might be surprised how much wind it will take to get a clean sample. This combine model just loves canola. John, we should look at the front of the combine because that’s the area Gleaner spent a lot of time and energy on. There were several problems. The material had a tendency to follow the auger around. The company found that the forming tool made a pronounced knurled finish on the flighting: a band of this type of finish down the whole length of the flighting right in the middle. It was rough enough to make the material follow it. The company also found that the stripper bar was inadequate and added another stripper bar on the bottom of the table. There are instructions from the company on how to install this. The feeder chain takes the grain up to the concave, which is adjusted in the back because it pivots on the front. You can’t set a concave so it’s tighter

in front than the middle because it produces white caps. The book provides settings that

are allowed for this concave. Just ensure that you always have a positive wedge.

Air Seeder Rate and Blockage Monitor

Use your Google ® Android ® Phone to keep track of our air seeder operation with an ‘App’.

1 800 878 7714 www.tillagetools.com

Wireless ART

The WIRELESS ART Rate and Blockage monitor takes the uncertainty out of air cart operation. You will know if your seeding system is having any of these common problems: • Seed Blockage/No Seed Problems • Rate Problems

contest rules and eligible products.

(Windows Phone, Apple and Blackberry ‘App’s are in development) No wires to the cab means quicker startups, and no worries about towing the seeder with the monitor harness! The WIRELESS ART works with today’s large single Shoot and Double Shoot seeding systems. Up to 240 runs can be monitored on double shoot systems (separate seed and fertilizer runs). Use the WIRELESS ART to confirm your calibration for seed and fertilizer rates using the Seed Rate Wizard. Seeds per acre (or pounds per acre) and Fertilizer pounds per acre are displayed. 242 Robin Cres. Saskatoon, SK Canada S7L 7C2 Ph 306-934-0640 Fx 306-668-7666 Email: sales@agtron.com www.agtron.com

That’s next generation thinking. The innovative V-Cool™ System on our Massey Ferguson® 9500 Series not only self-cleans its intake screen in seconds, but its V-shaped design allows unrestricted air flow to the cooling units. That means less daily maintenance, better fuel economy and a cooler engine. Discover the combines that are all about capacity, not complexity. Stop by or visit www.masseyferguson.com/9500Series today.

Interest takes flight at rare bird show

Entrants up | Association plans to expand next year BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

RED DEER â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Allan Lakusta calls himself a poultry groomer. He lived up to that name in late December during the second annual Canadian Heritage Breeds poultry and pigeon show, washing birdsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; feet and legs, wiping their combs with a special brightening solution and rubbing their feathers with a silk cloth to smooth them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just like a horse groom. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grooming. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just weird because we like chickens,â&#x20AC;? said Lakusta. Lakusta had already finished cleaning his birds and was now cleaning birds owned by show organizer Liz Munro, who was looking after last minute details. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that friendship and camaraderie with other poultry breeders that brought Lakusta 400 kilometres to the show, which featured more than 700 head of poultry, more than 1,000 pigeons and a few rabbits and other animals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It camaraderie, but it also gives me something to do besides watching TV,â&#x20AC;? Lakusta said as he wiped down the feathers of Munroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chantecler chickens, one of the few breeds of chicken originating from Canada. The hardy bird, developed by a monk in Oka, Que., in the early 20th century, is one of the most coldhardy chicken breeds. Lakusta believes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to support the poultry shows and help keep rare breeds such as the Chantecler chickens alive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not enough people are keeping the species up. This breed was just about dead,â&#x20AC;? he said. Rico Sebastian, president of Canadian Heritage Breeds, said the asso-

ciation gains two or three members a show and holds two or three shows a year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to let people know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on,â&#x20AC;? he said. The poultry, pigeon and rabbit show used to be one of the highlights of Farmfair in Edmonton. It was cancelled in 2005 because of concerns about avian influenza. Shannon De Bruin, vice-president of Canadian Heritage Breeds, said interest in provincial shows is increasing dramatically as knowledge grows about the disease and interest revives in backyard birds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is more information about avian influenza and the panic over it has faded,â&#x20AC;? De Bruin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are not so worried about having groups of birds together.â&#x20AC;? The number of entrants at the 2011 show was up over last year and the organizing committee plans to double the space from 40,000 to 80,000 sq. feet next year to include rare goats, sheep, swine, cattle and horses. De Bruin said interest is increasing in rare and heritage breeds. Shows like this are a good way to attract people, he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It spreads the word, educates the public and gets more people involved,â&#x20AC;? said De Br uin, who coloured some of her white Silkie chickens as part of the showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bedazzled class. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fun class. It helps break up a little tension of these big competitions.â&#x20AC;? Casey Vandermeer of Sherwood Park, Alta., hopes to double the size of next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pigeon show. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are coming out of the woodwork now that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here,â&#x20AC;? said Vandermeer, who has been showing pigeons for 55 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my hobby and my fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s before that.

Free trees up for grabs SaskPower’s Shand Greenhouse offers seedlings Brenda Olson has never considered herself a horticulturalist, but many people would disagree. When Olson and her husband moved to the fourth generation family grain farm 22 years ago, there wasn’t a single tree growing on the property. Today, the farm is home to more than 25,000 trees. She attributes the positive change in landscape to the hard work of her family and to SaskPower. “I thought planting trees […] was a good thing to do. SaskPower had the trees there and it kept the kids and our family busy planting more and more trees. We love them,” says Olson.

Helping people and the environment SaskPower’s Shand Greenhouse is located near Shand Power Station, roughly 10 kilometres southeast of Estevan, Saskatchewan. “I think the Greenhouse is a big asset for the area,” says Olson, who got her 25,000 trees for free from the facility. The Shand Greenhouse opened in October 1991 and has been using excess heat from SaskPower’s 305 megawatt Shand Power Station to run operations in the facility. It produces between 500,000 and 600,000 seedlings each year. Shand Greenhouse then distributes the trees and shrubs throughout the province free of charge based on a seedling application program. The goal is not to distribute trees for cosmetic landscaping. Instead, it’s to introduce more trees into the province for wildlife habitat and land reclamation projects such as shelter belts on farms or school and community environmental projects. Shelley Heidinger is Acting Manager of the Shand Greenhouse. She says the seedling application program is a great way SaskPower can give back to the people of Saskatchewan and to the environment. “SaskPower is able to give back to the people of our province through this greenhouse. When we provide plant material, we are not only benefiting the recipients, we are also partnering to help the global environment which, in turn, benefits all of our customers,” says Heidinger.

Brenda Olson and her family have planted over 25,000 trees on their farm, all were seedlings from SaskPower.

“Our backyard is full of animals now. It gives us satisfaction to have habitat for deer, moose, rabbits, coyotes, a variety of birds, prairie chickens, pheasants, skunks and racoons. They all use the trees,” says Olson. The Olson family enjoys the tranquility the trees provide for them, right in their own backyard. “There is a feeling that you’ll get when you are out there that isn’t comparable to anything else,” says Olson. SaskPower’s Shand Greenhouse seedling giveaway program helps more than 700 applicants get trees each year.

“We really have built a beautiful environment around our yard with these trees.” - Brenda Olson Get involved Trees are up for grabs now. Heidinger says there are three basic requirements applicants must meet to be eligible to receive seedlings. Applicants must have 10 acres of property or more. The trees cannot be used for landscaping purposes or personal gain. And finally, applicants must live in Saskatchewan. Applications for the 2012 seedling giveaway are accepted until March 15 on a first come, first served basis. Trees are shipped to one of 35 pick-up locations around the province during the first week of May. The application process is straightforward, says Heidinger.

There are 27 species of seedlings available through the Shand Greenhouse.

“The process of getting the trees is really easy. You just fill out the form and before you know it you get trees,” says Olson. Applicants must provide their basic personal information, a small map of how the tree species will be used, what species the applicant wants to receive and which pick-up location they prefer.

Lots of seedling variety “The good thing about the SaskPower (Shand) Greenhouse is there is a good variety of native and prairie species. This is really important because this makes it easier to grow them. The trees flourish in this environment, so it’s easy to take care of them,” emphasizes Olson. There are 27 species of trees and shrubs available through the Greenhouse. Olson says she probably has some of each. “Over the years of getting trees you pick up extras if they have any and we really have built a beautiful environment around our yard with these trees,” says Olson.

Applications are made available in several ways. Application forms can be found online at saskpower.com/shandgreenhouse. Or, call 1-866-SPTREES (1-866-778-7337) to have SaskPower mail or fax an application form. Application forms can also be picked up from Shand Greenhouse. Once the application is submitted, applicants will receive notification of receipt of application within four weeks. Acceptance and rejection letters will be sent out to all applicants in April. Interested in getting trees for your property, group or organization? Visit saskpower.com/shandgreenhouse or call 1-866-SPTREES (1-866-778-7337) for more information about the Shand Greenhouse seedling giveaway.

Heidinger says the most commonly requested types of trees are conifers, poplars and fruit-bearing trees that attract animals.

COUNTRY-OF-ORIGIN LABELLING | CANADIAN CAMPAIGN

COOL had major impact on exports CCA releases numbers | Association lobbying Americans to drop World Trade Organization appeal and amend law BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Canadian exports of feeder and fed cattle dropped by 880,000 head in the 80 weeks after the United States implemented its country-of-origin labelling legislation. On average, 6,000 fewer feeder cattle per week and 5,000 fewer fed cattle per week were exported to the U.S. in that period. The fed cattle basis, which is the difference between Canadian and U.S. fed cattle cash prices, widened by 30 percent, or $4 US per hundredweight. The Canadian Cattlemen’s Association released those statistics last week as it prepared for a U.S. government declaration on whether it will appeal a World Trade Organization ruling that found COOL discriminates against Canadian cattle and hogs. The U.S. is expected to reveal its intentions in mid-March when it next meets with the WTO appeal body. John Masswohl, the CCA’s director of government and international relations, said the organization receives many queries about COOL’s impact, so it decided to release some of the analysis developed by Daniel Sumner, a professor of economics at the University of California and former chief economist for the U.S. Department of Agriculture. COOL’s impact on Canadian cattle and hog exports has fluctuated since its implementation Sept. 30, 2008, depending on market demands, said

Information from the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association suggests that Canadian exports of feeder and fed cattle dropped by 880,000 head in the year and a half after country-of-origin labelling was implemented in the United States. | FILE PHOTO Masswohl, so it’s not a matter of simply calculating losses per head. “We can certainly summarize it by saying that the marketplace is much more volatile now, from week to week and month to month, than it used to be. We can say that there has been an impact on the basis, a lasting impact on the basis.” That impact is significant, given that changes in U.S. prices also affect

prices offered in Canada. A basis difference of $4 per cwt. translates into a price difference of $48 per 1,200 pound animal. “It is important to note that the effect of the basis difference caused by COOL is felt on every fed animal sold, regardless of whether it is exported or not, so any quantification of the impact of COOL would have to include total Canadian mar-

ketings, not just exports to the U.S.,” the CCA said in its first newsletter of 2012. Masswohl said the CCA is proceeding as though the U.S. will appeal the decision, while also lobbying U.S. officials to amend the legislation rather than repeal it. The CCA wants amendments that would eliminate the need for segregation of imported livestock and

meat during U.S. processing. Canadian cattle and pork producers have suggested a U.S. origin label on meat from animals slaughtered in the U.S., with voluntary inclusion of additional information about country of birth or feeding. “What we’re trying to argue is why spend more taxpayer dollars, U.S. taxpayer dollars and Canadian taxpayer dollars, sending government lawyers to Geneva to argue to keep a law that’s bad for the U.S. economy,” said Masswohl. “I think a lot of people that we’ve talked to have acknowledged that there really hasn’t been any benefit for the U.S. industry to have this measure in place.” Analysis provided by Sumner indicates potential loss of 9,000 U.S. packing industry jobs if COOL continues as is. Overcapacity in the American packing industry could lead to layoffs or closures unless access to Canadian livestock is improved without the extra costs of segregation and labelling. Masswohl said that possibility would encourage the industry to lobby for COOL amendments. As well, the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, the largest beef producer group in the U.S., has recommended resolution rather than appeal. “We’re playing the cards that we have right now,” said Masswohl. “It’s their right to appeal it. In our view, it’s not in their interests to appeal it. It’s in their interests to resolve it and we’re trying to help them to see that.” access=subscriber section=livestock,news,none

EHM | TREATMENT

Isolation, vaccines effective against equine herpes virus ANIMAL HEALTH

JAMIE ROTHENBURGER, DVM

he economic impact of equine herpes virus 1 infection in horses, and in particular its most serious form, equine herpes myeloencephalopathy, is significant. EHM outbreaks or the perceived threat of an outbreak have resulted in the closure of veterinary hospitals

and racetracks and the cancellation of equestrian events. Blood antibody levels can be tested to confirm exposure to EHV-1. The latest molecular diagnostic technique, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), rapidly identifies virus DNA in nasal secretions. Post mortem diagnosis involves the detection of inflamed blood vessels in the spinal cord and confirmation of virus with special labelling antibodies. Treatment for EHM is supportive. Horses unable to stand are supported in a sling and their bladders frequently emptied. Anti-inflammatory steroids are commonly administered. The latest treatment and preven-

tion option is the antiviral drug acyclovir, which was developed for treating human herpes infections. This drug has been given to valuable horses during an outbreak of EHM to prevent them from developing the disease. It has also been used to treat affected horses. While the drug shows promise, efficacy has not been proven, and it is expensive. Most horses under supportive care begin to improve after a week, although a full recovery may take months. Some severely affected horses never regain full function of their hind end. Those that have rapidly progressing disease or those that lose the ability to stand are more likely to die or be euthanized.

Isolating horses with EHM early in the disease is important to limiting spread. Several types of EHV-1 vaccines are available with variable efficacy. The major applications for this vaccine include young horses susceptible to the respiratory form and prevention of abortion storms in pregnant mares. Well-established vaccination protocols exist for pregnant mares. No vaccine claims to protect against EHM and there have been several reports of vaccinated horses developing the neurological form. Vaccines do not completely prevent infection, but vaccinated horses have fewer outbreaks of respiratory disease and less virus shedding. access=subscriber section=livestock,none,none

Some equestrian events are requiring vaccination in an attempt to decrease the chance of an EHM outbreak, but mature horses are likely already carrying the virus and the disease is rare. The concept of herd immunity, which involves vaccinating a large percentage of the population, is important in managing this disease at a herd level. If the majority of horses are vaccinated, theoretically there should be reduced virus shedding and less chance that uninfected horses will contract the virus. Control measures aimed at decreasing the spread of the virus must address the ways it can be transmitted. These include aerosolized respiratory secretions, nose-to-nose contact and inanimate objects, called fomites, which had contact with the horse and now carry the virus. Common barn fomites include water troughs, feed buckets, grooming equipment, halters and bridles. New horses or those recently returned from outside events should be kept isolated for at least three weeks and carefully monitored for signs of respiratory disease: nasal discharge and fever. Pregnant mares should be kept as isolated as possible to prevent abortions. There are no control measures specific to preventing the EHM form. Ideally, a new vaccination will be developed that can be administered to foals before infection and that results in long-term immunity. For now, however, the message is to keep horses and equipment away from others at horse events and talk to veterinarians about an appropriate vaccination protocol.

Jersey Canada has recorded a sixdecade high in registration numbers — 8,445 animals as of the end of 2011. Executive secretary Kathryn Kyle said a surge in registrations at the end of the year brought totals to the highest level since 1948. “ We h av e s e e n a s i g n i f i c a n t increase in Jerseys over the last five to 10 years, and more and more herds are incorporating Jerseys into their operations, so that’s definitely a contributor to the increase in registrations,” Kyle said. Electronic registration has made the process easier for producers. Nearly 70 percent used electronic means to register their animals in 2011, but Kyle said higher numbers also indicate the breed is gaining a stronger foothold in the dairy industry. She said the breed’s milk quality and reproductive rates are attractive, as is size. “In some cases, it’s simply that producers are putting a smaller cow into an older barn rather than renovating the barn and making bigger stalls for bigger Holsteins.” access=subscriber section=livestock,none,none

ANIMAL HEALTH | ANTIMICROBIAL DRUG

U.S. antibiotic ban may affect Canadian livestock drug rules Resistance concerns | USDA plans to ban off-label uses of cephalosporin in efforts to curb resistant bacteria BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Snow can provide adequate water for most livestock, provided it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hard and crusted. However, snow is not recommended as the sole moisture source for lactating cows. | FILE PHOTO WATER | REQUIREMENTS

Snow viable alternative to water Saves pumping, heating costs | Producers must ensure adequate quantity BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Low snowfall across much of the Prairies this winter may make it a moot point, but using snow as a sole water source for livestock is a viable option. Snow is bound to fall sometime this winter and when it does, cattle producers can reduce water pumping and heating costs by allowing stock to eat snow for their moisture needs. Grant Lastiwka, a forage, grazing and beef specialist with Alberta Agriculture, said a suitable quantity and quality of snow are the prerequisites. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Soft fluffy snow is a better water source and can be consumed in quantities adequate, potentially, to meet the needs of cows, sheep or calves on low performance ration requirements as the only water source,â&#x20AC;? he said. Research led by the University of Alberta dating back to the late 1970s showed it takes three days for cows to learn to eat snow. They can consume enough for their needs so long as the snow is not crusted or hard. Cows also ingest snow while eating stockpiled forage or swaths. Lastiwka said swaths generally have 30 percent moisture and stockpiled forage

has 40 percent, which helps meet animalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; moisture needs. People are told not to eat snow when thirsty because it lowers their body temperature and potentially contributes to hypothermia, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a concern in cattle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The big rumen vat is so immense that any snow being put in there does not have an effect on lowering body temperature. It is such a minute amount of that big fermenting hot mass that it melts and is not an issue.â&#x20AC;? Cattle, sheep and horses can survive by eating snow, though producers have to monitor their animals to ensure enough moisture is available, Lastiwka added. Snow is not recommended as a sole water source for cows in late pregnancy, lactating cows and high performing calves and ewes. Animals in those categories require higher amounts of moisture and may not be able to eat enough snow for their needs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got many producers who have gone to snow systems and have found them very effective over time, but all of those producers are watchful managers and if things donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work out the way they were hoping for, they are quickly prepared to do something about it,â&#x20AC;? said Lastiwka.

WATER REQUIREMENTS FOR CATTLE Suggested amount of water intake per day for beef cows (1,200 lb. animal) Water intake (litres) temperature (C) 38 -17 to 15 44 15 to 21 47 21 to 27 59 above 27 Note: Cows in the last four months of pregnancy will have higher water needs than shown above. Source: Alberta Agriculture | WP GRAPHIC

Alberta Agricultureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s list of frequently asked questions about snow as a water source indicates that cows can go 50 to 60 days with snow as their only moisture source, without any adverse effects. Other data: â&#x20AC;˘ snow intake by cows does not seem to affect calf birth weight. Nutrition, energy and protein in feed are more significant factors â&#x20AC;˘ cows in early lactation require a water source â&#x20AC;˘ erratic weather is a major disadvantage to reliance on snow. It can harden the snow, forcing producers to take quick action to supply water.

American moves to prohibit certain uses of cephalosporin drugs in cattle, swine, chickens and turkeys may have implications for Canadian livestock treatments. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued an order Jan. 4, to take effect April 5, which will prohibit extra-label or unapproved uses of cephalosporins, a large class of antimicrobial drugs. Veterinary drugs have approved uses listed on their labels but veterinarians can recommend alternative or off-label uses if they think the drug can be effective in treating a specific situation or ailment. The FDA said it is taking the measure â&#x20AC;&#x153;to preserve the effectiveness of cephalosporin drugs for treating disease in humans. Prohibiting these uses is intended to reduce the risk of cephalosporin resistance in certain bacterial pathogens.â&#x20AC;? Use of microbials in livestock production is believed to contribute to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, which can be a threat to human health. However, the exact role of livestock antimicrobials in development of resistance is a matter of major debate. Certain classes of cephalosporins are commonly used in humans to treat pneumonia, skin and soft tissue infections, as well as diabetic foot infections and urinary tract infections. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If cephalosporins are not effective in treating these diseases, doctors

may have to use drugs that are not as effective or that have greater side effects,â&#x20AC;? the FDA said. Tim McAllister, an Agriculture Canada research scientist in ruminant nutrition and microbiology, said this particular class of antimicrobials is not used for disease prevention in Canadian cattle but is used to treat illnesses, including bacterial pneumonia in cattle and pigs. The FDAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s move to limit certain uses of the drug might have a bearing on whether Canada considers similar changes, he said. Alberta veterinarian Roy Lewis agreed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If the U.S. says theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to do it, it puts a lot of pressure on us to follow suit,â&#x20AC;? he said. Specific off-label uses prohibited by the FDA in the U.S. include: â&#x20AC;˘ use of cephalosporins at unapproved dose levels, durations or routes of administration â&#x20AC;˘ using cephalosporins in cattle, swine, chickens or turkeys that are not approved for use in that species â&#x20AC;˘ using cephalosporins for disease prevention The FDA noted that veterinarians will be able to use or prescribe cephalosporins for limited extra-label use in the four named species as long as they follow the dose, frequency, duration and route of administration on the label. The order does not limit the use of cepharin, an older cephalosporin drug not believed to contribute to antimicrobial resistance. access=subscriber section=livestock,none,none

CONSERVATION | AFRICA

Program helps Zambians swap poaching for agriculture Food security | Farmers are trained how to expand crop yields, make organic fertilizer and produce value-added products BY MARGARET EVANS FREELANCE WRITER

LINDELL BEACH, B.C. — What would it take for poachers to turn in their rifles and snares in return for food security? Thompson Tembo was a poacher in Zambia with three prison sentences for illegally killing elephants and other species. Desperate for change, he signed up with Community Markets for Conservation (COMACO), surrendered his gun and took training in beekeeping. Now, with his 43 beehives and cash crops, he’s making more money than

he ever did as a poacher. Some 650 poachers followed Tembo’s example, surrendering their guns and choosing a life of sustainable agriculture. Far from being an ivory towered philosophy, this is boots-on-theground reality in Zambia where COMACO, a Wildlife Conservation Society program, has resulted in more than 61,000 wire snares and close to 1,500 rifles voluntarily turned in by poachers. In return, they are trained in agricultural practices that improve crop yields, provide profitable livelihoods, reduce deforestation, and restore local wildlife populations.

The COMACO program, which began in 2003, has trained more than 40,000 farmers and has expanded from two locations in Zambia’s Luangwa Valley to a growing network of sites around national parks. These sites are a buffer against the potential to poach wildlife and cut and burn trees to make charcoal, which is cheap, portable energy to sell in urban areas. Not only are wildlife populations rebounding but local people, including some of the world’s poorest farmers, are benefitting from higher crop yields and the development of value-added products. A study that documents the results

of the program was recently published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. “When we uncovered some of the underlying requirements in conservation to make a difference, they (villagers) were very willing to co-operate,” said COMACO founder Dale Lewis of the Wildlife Conservation Society. “But it was a long period of having to build that trust. I wouldn’t say it was easy, but when we got to that point, it was quite easy to change gears and move into a new direction. “With people who have guns, we can meet them on a one-on-one access=subscriber section=news,none,none section=news,international_ag,none

basis and learn who they really are and what is motivating them. They are not really people who you’d think are terrible, criminal types of people. They are simply ordinary people who happened to hit on that particular livelihood. “So when we talked to them about it not being a very good way to build a family and we were prepared to make a commitment to them if they surrendered their guns, it really wasn’t too difficult.” He said there were some notorious individuals, but it became easier to get them to enrol in training when they saw the benefits of the program and not have to live in fear of arrest. Farmers learn how to make organic fertilizer, diversify food crops, establish their own seed bank and maintain a balance between farmland, woodland and natural resources. They are organized into producer groups, receive training and benefit from more than 75 local depots where they can access markets. COMACO is partially funding through sales of food that it buys directly from farmers living in the heart of wildlife habitat and sells to urban consumers under the “It’s Wild” brand. The crops are shipped to regional conservation trading centres in larger towns, where they are processed into finished products such as peanut butter, cornmeal, groundnut snacks, chicken mash and honey. When villagers see how COMOCO works, they make the connection that commerce is a better way to make a living than poaching or charcoal making. More than 40,000 farming families are now part of the project’s network, growing corn, beans, soybeans, sugar beans, rice, millet, sorghum, cowpeas, groundnuts and cassava. A study in 2006 of the program’s conservation farming methods found an average 15 percent higher yield over conventional subsistence farming. “For people who have very little, it’s easy to have them appreciate things,” said Lewis. “The farmers must see they are part of the group, part of the success and benefits. So it is a process of progressing and developing the organization. Then you get the loyalty. They become really smart in how they relate to COMACO.” A community occasionally returns to poaching or reneges on in its farmi n g c o m m i t m e nt s. L e w i s s a i d COMACO gives the community time to get back on track, threatening that it will take its business elsewhere if the village can’t control poaching. “We have done that on three occasions and on each occasion we have got a positive response,” said Lewis. “We’re dealing with a fourth case now where there is a lot of politics and disharmony among people. But this is an exception.” Lewis said the program’s 22 stores buy 80 percent of its products and demand is greater than the supply. The business venture has its challenges, particularly the need for operating capital to buy commodities from farmers. Transportation costs are another problem. COMACO is forced to buy older trucks that require high maintenance. As well, there are processing equipment and repair costs.

COMPENSATION | LISTERIOSIS OUTBREAK

Legal end nears for victims of tainted food from meat plant Lengthy process frustrates Maple Leaf, victims | Final payouts up to $125,000 possible from incident responsible for 23 deaths BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Victims of a listeriosis outbreak in 2008 are closer to receiving their share of a $25 million settlement with Maple Leaf Foods. The 2008 incident resulted in 23 deaths and three class-action lawsuits. Courts in Ontario, Quebec and Saskatchewan are now approving the final agreements that will see payments doled out. Victims are to be paid payments of access=subscriber section=news,none,none

between $750 and $125,000 after successfully filing claims in 2009. Laura Bruneau of Bruneau Group Inc., the court-appointed administrator of the settlement fund, said the most severe claims — involving a fatality — took up to a year to be approved. The final step involved provincial health authorities, who are among the undisclosed number of claimants. Bruneau said an agreement with those agencies was reached in November.

MICHAEL MCCAIN MAPLE LEAF FOODS

Bruneau Group alerted claimants online Dec. 22 that an Ontario court had approved the agreement with provincial health authorities and that a court date was set for

January in Quebec. A court date has yet to be set for Saskatchewan. “As soon as those three matching court orders are available, we will be printing the cheques the very next morning,” said Bruneau. “We’re ready.” Ma p l e L e a f Fo o d s p re s i d e n t Michael McCain issued a statement in mid-December expressing frustration with the lengthy process. “We are dismayed and frustrated at how long this process has taken,

given we paid $25 million to settle these claims almost three years ago,” he said. “While Maple Leaf had no control over the process, we did everything we could to help get money to victims, including me personally contacting premiers to urge their provincial health authorities to reach a settlement,” he added. The outbreak was linked to the meat processor’s Bartor Road facility in Toronto, where the bacteria was located inside the mechanical operation of two slicing machines.

TRADE TALKS | PROTECTIONISM

GENEVA — Canadian trade minister Ed Fast took advantage of a recent World Trade Organization session to go on the attack against what he considers to be rising protectionism. In his first address to a recent WTO ministerial meeting, the rookie trade minister said Canada is leading the way in fighting protectionism. He cited five years of negotiating trade deals, liberalizing 1,800 tariff lines on imports and taking steps to end the Canadian Wheat Board monopoly. “If our goal is prosperity for our citizens, protectionism is poisonous to that effort,” Fast told other ministers in his address. “We must, as WTO members, stand firmly against rising protectionism.” The call to halt new protectionist measures and roll back protectionism that has started since 2008 was part of a declaration from WTO ministers when they wrapped up their meeting Dec. 17. Fast joined a panel of trade ministers and announced a similar declaration two days earlier. When asked if there was a conflict between his strong condemnation of protectionism and the Canadian government’s long-standing defence of supply management, Fast said many countries have sensitive sectors that are protected. However, he said Canada’s policies in recent years have been leading the fight against protectionism through tariff reductions and free trade deals. The declaration issued by ministers said they were concerned that current economic troubles could result in increased trade protectionism. “We therefore commit to refrain from raising new barriers to trade in goods and services, imposing new export restrictions or implementing WTO-inconsistent measures in all areas, including those that stimulate exports,” it said. Fast’s inclusion of the plan to end the CWB monopoly in the list of Canadian anti-protection measures was covered by the “WTO-inconsistent measures … including those that stimulate exports.” access=subscriber section=news,none,none

Microanalysis of specific supply and demand fundamentals for prairie crops won’t provide the main answers for where crop prices will go in 2012, say many analysts. Commodity prices are mostly driven these days by the level of world demand, and it’s hard to get a clear sense of what demand is likely to be this year. “The crystal balls are unbelievably cracked and cloudy and the reason is that there are big risks out there, and the big risks all have a political dimension to them,” Toronto Dominion bank economist Craig Alexander said during a presentation by big bank economists Jan. 5. The ongoing crisis in the eurozone, the political paralysis and ferment in the United States and slowing economic growth in China and India have analysts wondering whether the healthy demand for commodities of the past two years will weaken. That makes it hard to predict crop prices, said two analysts at St. Jean Farm Days in St. Jean Baptiste, Man. “I think we’re still (grappling) with the difficulties of perception, and while there is some optimism that comes into the marketplace now, we’re still dealing with European debt issues that are around us, we’re dealing with political gridlock in the United States … and we have slow growth around the world,” said Mike Jubinville of Pro Farmer Canada. “That is something that will continue to grind away as long as that sentiment overall is maintained. It will be hard to sustain a rally, whether it is in equities, whether it is in crude oil, or canola or canaryseed or cattle.” Booming demand in the past two years from China, India, the former Soviet Union and Brazil have helped the beleaguered U.S. and European Union stumble onward in spite of their economic woes. That has led to strong prices across the commodity spectrum, with corn even hitting new record prices last year. However, economic growth rates have slid in developing countries in

the past few months, which is bad for the general economy and agricultural commodity prices. China has become Canada’s biggest buyer of canola in recent years and a major buyer of pork, corn and soybeans from around the world. That has helped make up for the European and American economic weakness. Wild Oats newsletter analyst John Duvenaud said the seemingly endless financial problems in the U.S. and Europe reduce demand for commodities and drive small traders out of the business, which also hits exports of Canadian crops.

Duvenaud said micro-marketers once moved a lot of crops, but they are no longer in business because of market volatility and the economic problems of the past few years. That means they aren’t making small sales, and the lack of those small sales makes those markets less dynamic and less likely to drive prices higher. However, Duvenaud said this coming year is likely to look bleak only in the context of the post-2006 world, after prices moved to what looks like a higher permanent plateau . “We’ve had a fabulous price regime for the past couple of years,” said

Duvenaud. “Probably, I’ll bet, a lot of you have made a million dollars just on your land inventory over the last couple of years. Hey, what a great life, being a farmer here.” Farmers have become familiar with better prices, but they have also become familiar with higher prices for all their inputs, which reduces profitability. “It doesn’t take long for the fertilizer guys, the price of land, the this and the that, various inputs start to take up a lot of that (increased crop price) and that’s where we’re starting to get to now,” said Duvenaud. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURING | BUHLER

Profits rise and sales hit record at Buhler as it makes plans to increase profitability BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Buhler Industries Inc. set a new record for sales in 2011 but earned smaller profits than it did in 2009. However, profitability and growth are

likely to increase in future years as risk management improves and research and development spending continues, the company said in its annual report for 2011, which ended Sept. 30. “Competitive market and exchange rate pressures were the causes of a

decline in margin, but the company still retained an adequate level of profitability,” Buhler Industries president Dmitry Lyubimov said in the report. Buhler’s revenues hit $284.7 million in 2011, compared to $209.6 in

2010 and $284.1 in 2009. The 2009 financial year contained much of the earnings from the booming agricultural equipment sales of the 2008 calendar year. Its net earnings of $11.92 million in 2011 were significantly below 2009’s

$14.4 million, but much higher than recession-ravaged 2010’s $8.2 million. A hallmark of Buhler’s new Russian owners has been a heavy commitment to reinvesting company profits in research and development as well as acquisitions. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

WP tax adviser remembered Plan early to minimize income tax when closing retirement savings plan SASKATOON NEWSROOM

MONEY IN YOUR POCKET

GRANT DIAMOND

ou will face taxes if you celebrate your 71st birthday in 2012 and are still holding a Registered Retirement Savings Plan. Not making proper plans and acting before the end of the year could result in an expensive tax bill. The federal government requires you to wind up all your RRSPs by the end of your 71st year. So, before Dec. 31, 2012, you will want to search out the best way to collapse your RRSP so you can minimize your tax bill. In fact, anyone approaching their retirement years should consider their options regarding the wind-up of their RRSP because some strategies come into play as you turn 65. If at age 71 you don’t transfer your RRSP to another registered plan, such as an annuity or a Registered R e t i re m e nt In c o m e Fu n d , t h e Canada Revenue Agency will treat your RRSP savings as income taken that year. The tax hit could be substantial. RRIFs are set up in a way that requires you to withdraw a minimum amount every year. If there is a lot of money in your RRIF, that proportional withdrawal could substantially increase your tax bill. If your spouse is younger, you have the option of reducing your tax liability in the early years of withdrawals from a RRIF. By making a one-time election with CRA when you start the RRIF, you can register it based on the age of your younger spouse. For example, if you are 71 and your spouse is 64, registering the RRIF on your spouse’s age means RRIF withdrawals will be divided into seven additional years and therefore be lower. This reduces the annual minimum you are required to withdraw

from your RRIF, thereby conserving capital and allowing the RRIF to grow. You can be proactive in your planning when approaching your retirement years. One option is to use part of your RRSP funds to set up a small RRIF when you turn 65 to take advantage of tax credits that relate to the first $2,000 of qualifying pension income. By transferring $14,000 from your RRSP to a RRIF at age 65 and then withdrawing $2,000 per year from 65 to 71, you are taking that $14,000 virtually tax free federally if you are in

the lowest tax bracket in 2011. There will be some tax cost if you have a higher marginal tax rate, but it won’t be as high as it would otherwise be. Pension income splitting allows you to double up the RRIF withdrawal to $4,000 per year, subject to certain conditions. In any case, you should consider getting tax or financial advice as soon as possible to help you collapse your RRSP in a tax-efficient manner.

SOUTH AMERICA | DRY CONDITIONS

South American dryness could present marketing opportunity MARKET WATCH

D’ARCE MCMILLAN

he hot, dry weather in Argentina and southern Brazil has sparked a modest rally in crop markets to kick off the year. Just a month ago, we ran a story noting that speculative investors had scaled back their holdings in crop

futures. DTN analyst Darin Newsom said he believed outside investors would again play a major role in crop prices in 2012. If they believed the stock market had a better outlook than commodities, then it would be hard to spark rallies in grain and oilseed prices. But in the first week of this year, speculative investors started to jump back into crops, helping to fuel the rally. Whether they stay in the market depends a lot on how much rain falls this week in Argentina and southern Brazil. Late last week, the forecast called

for heavy rain Jan. 10-11, but at the time this column was written Jan. 9, rainfall totals and coverage area forecasts were scaled back dramatically. Temperatures were to return to the sweltering 35-plus C level following the showers, which is bad news for corn as it flowers. One farming group warned that the dry weather hurting soybean and corn crops might cause more damage than the 2008-09 drought, which was the worst in 70 years. However, another agricultural body disputed that. The 2008-09 Argentine drought saw soybean and corn production drop about 30 percent, or 21 million

tonnes. Argentina’s dry weather is strongly influenced by the La Nina in the Pacific. It is not strong, but last week forecasters said La Nina would persist longer than expected, lasting into the northern hemisphere spring, which means it could help to extend the dry weather through Argentina’s growing season. As this week’s stories in our Markets and Agfinance sections show, grain users’ comfort level rose a lot after last fall’s generally good harvests. Many analysts expect markets in 2012 will not have the golden aura of 2010 and 2011. access=subscriber section=markets,none,none

However, that assurance has been shaken a little by the South American situation. Winter dryness in Western Canada, the U.S. northern plains, northern India and Ukraine are not huge worries — no summer crop is lost in January — but the situations are creeping into market talk and adding to a small, but growing unease. Western Canadian growers should stay on top of the South American weather news. If it stays dry for another week or so and prices continue to climb, it could present opportunities for pricing old crop and some 2012 production.

HONOLULU, Hawaii (Reuters) — The U.S. Congress could slash farm subsidies far more than expected, perhaps by twice as much as proposed two months ago, to help trim the federal deficit, agriculture secretary Tom Vilsack said Jan. 8. “It could be $23 billion. It could be $48 billion. It could be $33 billion,” Vilsack said on the sidelines of the annual meeting of the American Farm Bureau Federation. AFBF president Bob Stallman also said there was strong pressure to cut agriculture spending. Vilsack and Stallman said budget pressures will make it hard to write a new farm law this year despite a Sept. 30 deadline. A cut amounting to $48 billion would be five percent of farm bill funding and twice the $23 billion suggested by agriculture committee leaders last fall. The White House has suggested $33 billion in cuts. Republicans in the U.S. House voted for $48 billion last spring. Crop subsidies and conservation payments are expected to bear the brunt of cuts. A chief target is the $5 billion a year direct payment subsidy to grain, cotton and soybean farmers. There is no consensus on a new farm law. Some proposals would end crop subsidies created during the Depression era. While crop subsidies are the headline issue, three-quarters of USDA money is spent on food stamps and other nutrition aid to the poor. Convention delegates were expected to vote Jan. 10 on a proposal to end most existing crop subsidies and to create an insurance-like program in its place. It would assure growers of getting 70 to 80 percent of their usual crop revenue. Large cuts to traditional farm subsidies could make federal crop insurance the primary shield for growers against steep losses.

CWB challenge defended SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Colin MacArthur, lead lawyer for eight former Canadian Wheat Board directors challenging the federal government’s move to eliminate the CWB’s monopoly, said his group chose the Court of Queen’s Bench instead of the Federal Court of Canada because of the constitutional aspects. MacArthur said the former CWB directors plan to argue that the constitution requires the rule of law apply to all citizens, including federal

agriculture minister Gerry Ritz. MacArthur said questioning the constitutional validity of legislation is outside the jurisdiction of the Federal Court. His clients plan to use a Dec. 7 Federal Court declaration, which said Ritz broke the law by not holding a producer vote before introducing the bill that would eliminate the monopoly. That ruling is under appeal. Ma c A r t h u r d i s a g r e e d t h a t a Queen’s Bench ruling from Winnipeg would have no impact beyond Manitoba’s borders.

ELECTION | NEW LEGISLATION

DOWN TIME IN THE VALLEY

Population forces new boundaries Constituencies grow to 61 BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Some Saskatchewan voters will mark their ballots in different constituencies in the next provincial election without changing their addresses. The government introduced legislation Dec. 15 to add three constituencies for 2015 to reflect the province’s growing population, increasing the constituencies to 61 from 58. The new seats will likely be in Regina, Saskatoon and one rural area. “We will likely have 100,000 more people in Saskatchewan compared to the last time the boundaries were changed in 2002 by the time of the next election,” said justice minister Don Morgan. The government will appoint a constituency boundaries commission to redraw the boundaries next year once the 2011 census data is available. Morgan said each constituency should have roughly the same number of voters, although not necessarily the same number of people. In the recent November election, his Saskatoon Southeast riding had more than 16,300 enumerated voters while Saskatoon Centre had 7,400. Saskatchewan has had as many as 66 constituencies in the past. The government also introduced legislation last week that could change the date of the 2015 election from Nov. 2 because of the federal election occurring Oct. 19 that same year. Premier Brad Wall has written to prime minister Stephen Harper asking him to reconsider the federal vote date. The legislation has been introduced in case that doesn’t happen. “Our strong preference is to stay with our current provincial election date in November 2015,” Wall said. That would move the election to April 4, 2016. access=subscriber section=farmliving,none,none

She is one of four individuals that will be inducted into the Saskatchewan Agricultural Hall of Fame in August in Saskatoon. “I’ve really had the good fortune to be involved in a whole number of different facets of agriculture, really,” said Teichrob. She said the honour was unexpect-

Joining Teichrob in the Saskatchewan Agr iculture Hall of Fame, housed inside Saskatoon’s Western Development Museum, is Thelma Howard. “She’s been involved over her lifetime in trying to bring information, education into the farming community,” said Jack Hay, chair of the hall of fame.

Howard is being recognized for her dedication to Saskatchewan 4-H and contributions as a mentor to young women. “Through the mentorship part of it, these young people have continued to be involved in agriculture in general,” said Hay, noting how she has helped produce another generation of seed researchers, growers, breeders and veterinarians.

Ranch family’s values provide foundation Looking to the future | Ranching family talks about succession plan BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

BRODERICK, Sask. — The Abrahamsons know they are wealthy with faith, friends and family. David and Rose Abrahamson grew up in Christian homes surrounded by close-knit extended families in communities where good neighbours are valued and respected. Their four-generation ranch, which was homesteaded in 1903, is tucked along the South Saskatchewan River near Broderick, Sask. Married since 1985, the couple first met at a family church camp in North Battleford, Sask. They have four children: Amos, 25, rides for a federal community pasture near Maple Creek, Sask., Seth, 20, shares his older brother’s passion for training horses and cowboying and helps out at the home ranch; Holly, 22, works as a licensed practical nurse and commutes from the ranch to Saskatoon and Layne, 16, is in Grade 12, dreams of adventure and is pondering a career in law enforcement. Surrounded by his family at the kitchen table, David recently read from the Bible’s Psalm 127:1: “Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labour in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain.” He said that verse sums up his family’s philosophy on life. “It’s not just us. It’s bigger than us. Without God, we wouldn’t have what we have,” he said. Added Rose: “And that comes from our parents, grandparents. They taught us that, for sure.” Their ranch operation includes a commercial herd of 250 HerefordBlack Angus-cross cattle under the bar three brand. The Abrahamsons rent land to grow barley for swath grazing and grain for feed. Their own land is for grazing cattle and making hay.

Rose was born and raised on a Hutterite colony in Manitoba. She said her life was turned inside out at age nine when her parents and eight siblings left the colony to farm on their own near Winkler, Man. “It was a big adjustment moving from the colony to the outside world. We weren’t readily accepted,” she said. “I remember especially because of the drastic change from there to there. Oh man, you were just thrown into this whole new world.” Sports became a way to assimilate. “We looked funny and we talked funny and nobody wanted us on their team or to play with us, but eventually we played the whole school ourselves and won our way back in there,” she said. David and Rose’s desire to spend as much time as possible with their children and instill their values led them to try homeschooling. “We started out like that and we didn’t know that we’d continue for-

ever. It seemed to go quite well so we kept on going,” said Rose, who discovered a love for teaching. “I really actually enjoyed it very much, but it’s a challenge and a lot of hard work. You have to be here and you have to be disciplined. It has to be a routine everyday so you’re actually getting something done.” The couple doesn’t regret the decision, despite the amount of work it required and early criticism from school officials. “If they had gone to a public school, they would have been different children,” David said. The family built a homemade ice rink 14 years ago behind the house in the cattle pasture. Weathered railroad ties form the boards, plywood has been nailed together to make goals at either end and an old shed creates a cozy spot to lace up skates and visit. “We wanted to get involved with our kids,” Rose said. “We wanted to play with them, not just take them to

a rink and drop them off.” Playing hockey is an extension of their lives and provides an outlet for growth. “It’s teamwork and you got to be fair with one another. It was all a really good way for us to stretch and learn and grow in a safe way, get our exercise and work really hard.” A love of music also plays an integral part of family life. Rose plays the guitar and encouraged Seth and Layne to take up the mandolin. Holly plays the harmonica. “Whether we play hockey or play instruments together, you do things together and you grow together as a family. I think it’s very good,” Rose said. The Abrahamsons say they are blessed with good neighbours who work together, whether branding, vaccinating, moving cattle or building fences. David said it usually isn’t about money. “It’s neighbourly, it’s social,” he said. “Not as much as it’s been, but

we still get together for birthdays, anniversaries and things like that.” It’s important for David to have a succession plan, which he learned from his father. “Dad had sold me land and we had all that worked out, which I’m very thankful for,” he said. He is now starting the process with his own family. “A while ago, we did have a family meeting and talked about where we wanted to go,” he said. “Each one of the kids had an opportunity to stay home. No way do we want to keep anybody home here that doesn’t want to be home. Whatever your calling is in life, you go do that.” He said a family farm should always be looking to the future. “That’s our real future. I remember saying to my dad when he was later in life, ‘you shouldn’t work so hard.’ He said, ‘I’m not working for myself anymore. I’m working for the next generation.’ That was his attitude. It wasn’t about himself anymore.”

RECIPES | SOUP

Soups packed with vegetables hearty and heartwarming TEAM RESOURCES

BETTY ANN DEOBALD, BSHEc

ecember was extremely mild this year in Saskatchewan and on Christmas Day we had virtually no snow. A light snow is falling as I sit down to write this column, and my thoughts turn to the warmth and comfort of a hot bowl of soup. Our local coffee shop serves a limited but unique menu of one soup, salad and sandwich each day, along with a variety of coffee, tea and soda. One day, out of curiosity, I tried their dill pickle soup and discovered a fantastic flavour combination. I went searching for a recipe and discovered that this soup has a Polish history. Like many soups, it was originally made using the limited ingredients that were available: potatoes, onions and carrots. The addition of the dill pickles makes for a flavourful soup. When I served it to my daughter-inlaw, Lydia, she also quite enjoyed the flavour.

DILL PICKLE SOUP 3 tbsp. 1 c. 1/2 c. 1/2 c. 1 c. 4 c. 2/3 c. 1/4 c. 1/4 c. 2 c. 1/4 c.

butter or margarine 45 mL onion, chopped 250 mL celery, diced 125 mL carrots, diced 125 mL potatoes, diced 250 mL vegetable or 900 mL chicken broth dill pickles, 150 mL chopped or shredded dill pickle juice 60 mL (Add more if you want a stronger dill pickle flavor) flour 60 mL milk 500 mL fresh dill 60 mL or 2 tbsp. dried dill 30 mL dash of pepper

In a large pot, melt butter or margarine, add the onion and celery and cook over medium heat, stirring often until the onions are transparent. Add the carrots, potatoes, and broth. Simmer 15 to 20 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Add dill pickles and juice. Mix the flour into the milk and add several tablespoons of the hot soup to the milk to warm the milk. Slowly add the milk and flour mixture to the soup. Reheat until just steaming. Do not boil. Season with fresh or dried dill, and pepper. Serve hot. This soup can be frozen, but an option is to add the milk just before serving and then gently heat, being careful not to boil the milk. Serves six. Adapted from Prairie Pooches & Friends Favourite Recipes, Cando, Sask., 2011, Pickle Soup, by Wendy Heintz.

BEEF BARLEY SOUP This recipe is adapted from my daughter-in-law Leanne’s recipe. 1/2 lb. round steak 250 g 1 tbsp. oil 15 mL 1 onion, cut into large chunks that are easy to remove 2-900 mL cartons beef broth 1,800 mL 1 10 fl. oz. beef consomme 284 mL 4 large carrots, sliced 2 stalks celery, sliced (optional) 1 small parsnip, sliced (optional) 1 c. pot barley 250 mL Chop meat into small pieces, about 1/4 inch x 1/4 inch (.5 cm x .5 cm) and brown in the oil. Add the onion chunks and cook and stir with the meat, until soft and translucent. Add broth, consomme, carrots, celery and parsnips. Rinse the barley in a strainer under running water and add to the pot. Stir and simmer 20 to 30 minutes or until vegetables and barley are cooked. If onions bother you, remove the large pieces of onions prior to serving. If the barley has soaked up too much of the broth, add water. Serves eight.

YAM AND CORN CHOWDER This soup recipe caught my attention when I was looking for the dill pickle soup recipe. It has a wonderful sweet yam flavour. 2 tbsp. butter 30 mL 1 large onion, peeled and chopped 1 large yam, peeled and cut into chunks salt and fresh ground pepper to taste 4 c. chicken broth 900 mL 1 c. frozen corn kernels 250 mL

UPDATED GRILLED CHEESE I love grilled cheese sandwiches with dill pickles, so it seems natural to pair this soup with a grilled cheese sandwich. For an updated version, lightly coat naan bread with olive oil, add slices of your favourite cheese and grill using a counter top grill.

Melt the butter over medium heat and add the onion. Stir and cook until the onions are clear. Do not brown. Add yams and cook for a few minutes. Add the salt and pepper to draw out the moisture and flavour. Add the broth, cover pot and bring

to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Add corn, replace pot cover and cook until the yams are soft, or when a knife will easily slide through the yam chunks. Use a hand blender to pureé or cool soup and pureé in a blender. Reheat and serve. Serves six. Adapted from www.recipezaar.com.

CLAM CHOWDER I developed a love for clam chowder on a family trip to Disneyland. We were waiting for the light show one chilly evening and bought bread bowls of hot clam chowder to warm us up. 6 strips bacon, chopped 1 c. onion, minced 250 mL 1 c. celery, diced 250 mL 2 c. potatoes, cubed 500 mL 1 c. carrots, diced 250 mL 3-5 oz. cans baby clams for 142 g chowders and sauces water, to cover vegetables 3/4 c. butter 175 mL 3/4 c. flour 175 mL 4 c. half-and-half cream 1L or 2% milk 2 tbsp. red wine vinegar 30 mL 1 1/2 tsp. salt 7 mL ground back pepper to taste Cook bacon in a large pot until crisp, stirring occasionally. Use a slotted spoon to remove bacon from pan, reserving one tbsp. (15 mL) of drippings in pan. Drain bacon on paper towels. Add onion and celery to drippings in pan, cook on medium heat until onions are transparent. Add potatoes and carrots. Drain juice from clams over the vegetables, add water to cover and cook on medium heat until vegetables are tender. Meanwhile, in a large heavy saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour until smooth. Whisk in cream and stir constantly until thick and smooth. Stir in vegetables and broth. Heat through but do not boil. Stir in clams and bacon pieces just before serving. The clams get tough if they

cook too much. When clams are heated through, stir in vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Serve in a large bun hollowed out to make a bread bowl. Using a lower fat milk works just as

well but does not give as rich a taste. Adapted from allrecipes.com/ recipe. Serves eight. Betty Ann Deobald is a home economist from Rosetown, Sask., and a member of Team Resources. Contact: team@producer.com.

NEW YEAR | GOALS

Make 2012 resolutions a success SPEAKING OF LIFE

Centennial Column JACKLIN ANDREWS, BA, MSW Celebrating 100 years of students at the College of Agriculture and Bioresources. The Centennial Column is a weekly feature highlighting the history and present successes of the college.

Here we go again. We are barely into the new year and already I have broken three of my four resolutions. I’m still smoking, instead of losing weight I’m gaining it, and I have yet to work out a budget to govern our finances. My only redemption is that I was almost pleasant to my mother-in-law when she came over for dinner last Sunday. So, what’s the magic? How can I make and keep my New Year’s resolutions?

You are not alone. Recent opinion surveys say that while approximately 45 percent of all American and Canadian adults make New Year’s resolutions, only seven percent of those who were surveyed have unblemished records, keeping their resolutions year after year. It appears that you have some self maintenance that needs your attention, judging by your resolve to lose weight, stop smoking and save money. Rather than worrying about your concerns in the context of New Year’s, sit down with your wife and start working on realistic objectives. You need daily goals, not yearly

Priorities of the first Dean of Agriculture FILE PHOTO

resolutions. Instead of just thinking that you might lose weight, decide with your wife how many pounds you could successfully lose every week, how many smokes you are going to allow yourself, and what is a reasonable weekly personal allowance. Once you are clear about your goals, you can have some fun. To successfully lose weight, you need to get moving. Maybe you and your wife can have daily races up and down the road, or maybe you could jump around with some of those electronic games the computer companies are promoting. The games are designed to be fun while encouraging you to be agile and healthier. When you are craving a smoke and are feeling a little edgy, give yourself a few moments to be as grouchy as you can, scaring yourself when you are blowing off some of that frustration

in front of a mirror. You can also save money by having fun at home cuddling your wife instead of treating everyone on coffee row to pie and ice cream. Don’t expect to always be successful. S ome days, perhaps some weeks, you will fail to meet your goals. Don’t get discouraged. Just make sure that you put a huge gold star on the calendar to mark each successful day. Failure simply means that you can try again tomorrow, and think how much you are going to relish that gold star after facing some adversity. Oh, and by the way, keep being nice to your mother-in-law. She is, after all, responsible for the wonderful woman you married. Jacklin Andrews is a family counsellor from Saskatchewan.

CHRONIC PAIN | REMEDIES

Monitor long-term pain medication HEALTH CLINIC

CLARE ROWSON, MD

I have been suffering from chronic pain and backache for years. I have been taking extra strength Tylenol several times a day, which helps, but my doctor is concerned that it may be causing liver damage. Can simple Tylenol do this? I thought it was only in people who took overdoses of it?

Chronic pain and its treatment have been a major problem for both sufferers and doctors for many years. The most common causes of long-term pain are low back pain, arthritis and osteoarthritis and headaches including migraine. Multiple sclerosis can sometimes be painful, as well as some other types of nerve damage or neuropathy. Shingles can lead to a condition known as post-herpetic neuralgia, where the sufferer may get pain for months or even years in the area that was affected by the shingles rash. Fibromyalgia is another reason for

chronic pain. It is important for doctors to diagnose the reason for the pain, because in many cases there are specific treatments that do not involve painkillers. Migraines can be treated with a medication that prevents the dilatation of blood vessels in the brain. Fibromyalgia is often best treated with anti-depressants and regular exercise. Low back pain is sometimes the result of a person being overweight and having a large stomach that puts extra strain on back muscles. Losing weight and physiotherapy can help. Some recent research published in the British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology has shown that people taking slightly more than the recommended daily dose of paracetamol in Britain, which is similar to Tylenol, may suffer from liver damage and eventually liver failure. They found some people may be taking the drug in two different forms, perhaps for different illnesses, not realizing that both over-thecounter medications contained paracetamol. In some cases, simply taking three or four more pills a day was enough to cause liver damage. Most of the problem patients studied were older than 39, and also more likely to be heavy drinkers. Tylenol should never be mixed with alcohol. The recommended maximum daily dose of Tylenol is 4,000 milligrams.

GOOD NEWS FOR COFFEE DRINKERS Edward Giovannucci, professor of nutrition and epidemiology at the Harvard School of Public Health, reported that coffee appears to be protective in cancers that are linked to obesity, estrogen and insulin. One example is cancer of the lining of the uterus, which seems to be 25 percent less likely to occur if the woman drinks four cups of coffee a day or more. Fortunately, even decaffeinated coffee seems to have the same effect. Clare Rowson is a retired medical doctor in Belleville, Ont.

William John Rutherford was appointed as the first dean of the new College of Agriculture in 1910. He was born in Potsdam New York, January 7, 1868. Ten years later his family moved to a farm in Dundas County, Ontario. Values held by his mother were said to be “reverence for god, love of children and respect for fellow man” and were values that he adopted. After graduating from Guelph with a BSc in 1903 he studied and taught at Iowa State College, and then taught at the Manitoba Agricultural College before being appointed Deputy Minister of Agriculture for Saskatchewan by W.R. Motherwell in 1908.

Rutherford’s first task as deputy minister was to visit colleges of agriculture in the United States and Eastern Canada as the basis of forming a college of agriculture to serve the new Province of Saskatchewan. He was appointed as the first Dean of Agriculture in 1909 and took up the position in 1910. Rutherford had the support of President Murray to move his plan forward for a “peoples University in a farming province”. Saskatchewan was the first Canadian university to make the College of Agriculture an integral part of the university with the agriculture curriculum drawing on faculty from other colleges. Rutherford insisted on brilliant undergrad courses, research and graduate studies as well as practical experience. Rutherford, as dean, established departments to include animal disease, soils and farm management. In the degree courses he insisted that the program should not “unfit” a person from farming. He insisted that the sciences of chemistry, biology, bacteriology and physics be applied to agriculture. He was also instrumental in the design of the university farm and buildings. His personal passion was for the Clydesdale horse. He was responsible for assembling an elite-breeding herd from Scotland and North America. Rutherford served on many boards and Commissions both nationally and internationally. These included international trips with the Canadian Grain Commission, The Royal Commission on Conservation, Saskatchewan Education Commission, the Dominion Grain Commission, The Turgeon Commission study of wheat marketing, a number of education boards and many other decision making bodies. Rutherford died June 1, 1930 from an infection. He had been dean for 20 years. A tribute on his passing indicated “(he) was a great pioneer of Scientific Agriculture in western Canada”.

FARM LIVING RURAL BUSINESS | VERMICULTURE

Marketing worms for soil health turns a profit Raising and selling worms | Extra care needed to help worms survive and reproduce

These worms have been through a screen separating them from their soil medium, so their castings can be bagged. They go back into a bucket, equipped with additional food so they can continue eating and breeding.

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

RAISING WORMS • Vermiculture: raising earthworms for the production of castings • Vermicomposting: raising earthworms to eat organic waste. Several types of worms are suitable for vermicomposting, including red wigglers and African night crawlers • Castings: the manure of earthworms, which is odourless and contains nutrients suitable for plants. They are said to enhance plant growth, act as a natural fertilizer and aid in soil moisture retention Source: Earthly Matters

Dan Rollingson of Earthly Matters keeps his worms in three-gallon aerated buckets, where they produce castings that he sells as a soil amendment at his Coaldale, Alta., operation. | BARB GLEN PHOTOS

COALDALE, Alta. — Though it could be said that every body starts a worm farm eventually, Dan Rollingson has chosen to do it while he’s above ground. And so are his worms. Rollingson operates Earthly Matters, which markets worms, worm castings and custom soil blends. Now in his fourth year of business, he said it is starting to turn a profit and is ready to capitalize on what he sees as growing interest in soil health. “There really is going to be a movement towards the repair of soil, and I think there’s going to be a lot more people doing what I’m doing and that’s going to be fine. We need more people doing it,” he said. Raising worms is a different kind of farming, but there are definite similarities to the conventional sort. Rollingson’s farm requires soil and water, nutrients and suitable habitat. And what do worms eat? Grain, of course. Rollingson feeds them a mash of barley, wheat and other ingredients, plus calf milk replacer to help gizzard function. He houses 100,000 worms in threegallon buckets with aeration holes at their tops. The worms are put through an electric screener every few weeks to separate them from their castings. They are then put into a new bucket full of moss bedding, with a new batch of food, and kept in a garage at a temperature of about 20 C. The castings are bagged and sold in sizes from three to 1,000 litres. Rollingson said customers range from small home gardeners to greenhouse operators. He sells his worm castings as Earthly Matters soil enhancer at farmers markets’ and four hardware stores in southern Alberta. Some people are put off by the idea of worms and their excrement, and Rollingson is circumspect about that, though he does note men tend to be more squeamish than women. “It’s not for everybody and I understand that. I’m not going to try and push it,” he said. However, the worms leave their containers only when conditions are poor and will not survive in the open because they quickly dry out. Giving worms what they need in their own enclosure keeps them housed and productive. Rollingson had a bitter experience with worm mortality when he received his first shipment of 8,000 African night crawlers from an American firm. They didn’t transport well and once in his garage, things went from bad to worse. He was left with 40 survivors. “I took those 40 and I babied them. I made a small incubator for them out of an old freezer, and then it took a

couple months but then the reproduction started to happen.” He has had some of his breeding stock for three years and has read that they can live up to 15 years. As hermaphrodites, every worm can produce cocoons, and each cocoon can contain up to five worms. Cocoons are collected every two weeks, and reproduction can be rapid under ideal conditions. Rates can be controlled by altering conditions, such as decreasing the ideal level of 60 to 80 percent soil moisture or lowering the temperature. This type of worm will not survive Canadian winters, so there is no worry about escape and entry into the ecosystem, he said. African night crawlers are top dwelling, unlike Canadian dew worms, which are deep burrowers and can overwinter. Rollingson also plans to market worm “tea” and extracts made by adding water to castings to produce a liquid that will stimulate soil biology through its rich micronutrient and micro-organism content. Rollingson says his wife, Stephanie, has been involved in the venture from its start. “She helps with the website and a lot of administration,” he said. “It’s been a family venture. I’m kind of the boss, I guess, but my whole family has helped me out along the way.” His mother and stepfather, Monica and Andy Mulder, and his brother, Neil, have also helped. “I probably wouldn’t be doing it still if it weren’t for them,” Rollingson said. This spring, he plans to work with Verge Permaculture of Calgary by selling large totes of castings to stores that have pre-sold the product to their customers. He also wants to venture into soil reclamation using worm products. Rollingson became fascinated with soil health while researching vermiculture, and worms’ role in that process continues to intrigue him. This summer, he experimented with worm castings on a plot of land near Lethbridge. A small crop of 80 potato plants was a success, with an average of 10 to 12 potatoes per plant and as many as 32, without clipping or use of pesticides.
