Innovations at Canada’s Farm Progress Show Innovation is what drives agriculture production. It makes your operation faster, safer, more efficient and more profitable. Canada’s Farm Progress Show is your best place to see all the new and innovated products that agriculture companies and dealers have to offer. Several companies have been recognized at Canada’s Farm Progress Show for showcasing an innovative agriculture product or service. Each of these innovations has been qualified by Canada’s Farm Progress Show Innovations Committee as a unique, new or improved product in the agriculture industry. It was then critiqued by a panel of judges. Products and services ranked highest by the judging panel will receive either a Gold Standard Award or Sterling Standard Award. The innovations display is located at Arena 3 in the Co-operators Centre. Please visit it to learn more about each of the companies recognized as an innovator. You can also refer to the map within this guide to learn the locations of these companies through-out the show.

BSE boost

Ending CWB monopoly brings big changes

ay down south, where only two inches of rain fell last summer, there are a lot of thin cattle and a desperate need for hay. “I’ve got two different farmers who call me every other day asking if our hay is on its way,” said Landon Friesen, who operates Southman Alfalfa Producers near Crystal City along with his father Phil and brother Derek.

While BsE has been devastating to all parts of the beef industry, Lock believes it may have had a positive — albeit short-term — influence on XL’s Calgary facilities. “the plants’ lives may have been extended by a

But the competition for trucks is fierce

Hay prices reach record highs in U.S.

END OF THE LINE? } XL Foods processing now consolidated at Brooks, after Moose Jaw and Calgary plants shut down

he recently announced shutdown of XL foods’ beef kill plant and fabrication facility in Calgary is no surprise to those in the know. “No, it’s not a shock,” said Herb Lock, owner of farm$ense Marketing in Edmonton. “the packing industry in North america is rightsizing itself. as soon as you have excess capacity, everybody is losing money. It’s not just a Calgary thing, it’s not just an alberta thing, it’s not just a Canadian thing. this is happening on both sides of the border.” that view was echoed by Charlie Gracey, a cattle industry consultant and current board member with the alberta Livestock and Meat agency. “We’ve known for quite a long time that the herd was being sold down,” said Gracey. “It’s always regrettable to see a decline in what might be seen as competition. But there isn’t enough cattle herd to service the plant.” Lock estimates the packing industry is currently about 25 to 30 per cent overbuilt across the Pacific Northwest. Most of the processing facilities were built several decades ago, in a time when herd numbers were significantly higher, he said. Given that processing is a margin business, the only way for processors to make money is to operate at near full capacity. With today’s herd numbers at a 50-year low and the three- to fiveyear outlook not indicating much improvement, Lock sees the XL closure as a “nimble” preemptive move. Competition for live cattle sales shouldn’t diminished, said Bryan Walton, CEO of the alberta Cattle feeders association. “I don’t think the closures are going to have a material effect,” said Walton, noting XL foods still operates the Lakeside plant in Brooks. Essentially, the Calgary and Brooks plants were competing for the same animals. selling the Calgary facilities, which are fairly old and sit on valuable real estate, makes good business sense, he said.

Testing for bSe worthwhile FaIrLy LOw } Cost would be about $40 per head, but actual

financial benefits are uncertain By ron friesen

staff

new industry study concludes a voluntary BsE testing program for cattle could help boost Canada’s beef exports to asia. But it cautions that BsE-tested beef would only be a niche market and the demand for it might be limited. testing alone may not fully restore Canada’s beef markets lost to BsE in Japan and other asian countries, says the study by the George Morris Centre in Guelph, Ontario. But it’s still worth considering, said al Mussell, the study’s lead author. “We think this has got potential. I think it needs to be explored further,” Mussell said following the study’s release March 31.

“I think it does give the impetus for people to take a serious look at it and say, ‘hey, this is something we could take advantage of.’” the study funded by PrioNet Canada, the alberta Prion Research Institute and the alberta Livestock and Meat agency weighed the costs and benefits of voluntarily testing cattle for BsE. It found the cost fairly low — just over $40 a head, or about five cents a pound carcass weight. that wouldn’t burden processors with huge added expenses and “drag down the operation of a beef plant,” Mussell said. He said Japanese importers have periodically asked for BsE-tested beef over the past five years, so the demand for it should be there. But whether the economic benefits

Dominoes falling as beef industry ‘rightsizes’

ext August 1 ushers in what is arguably the most radical policy shift in Western Canada’s grain industry since the Canadian Wheat Board monopoly was created nearly 69 years ago. Western wheat, durum and barley farmers will have marketing freedom. What then? Farmers and the industry are divided over whether it will usher in a golden era

of prosperity for farmers, or prosperity for industry at farmers’ expense. Brookdale’s Andrew Dennis is among those who believe the CWB will disappear. “The companies will kill it as fast as possible,” he predicts. And with it will go the value it brought to Western Canada. “It is single desk plus premium or open market and the lowest price is the law — full stop,” he says.

Can’t wait Other farmers can’t wait. Sperling farmer Ron Hiebert says he’s sitting on 100,000

bushels of No. 1, 14 per cent Canada Western Red Spring wheat and he won’t sell a bushel of it until the market opens Aug. 1, 2012. He believes Canadian prices will rise $1.50 or more a bushel to mimic U.S. values. He doesn’t think the CWB needs to disappear. But he doesn’t care if it does. Farmers know how to price crops in an open market. But when rhetoric gives way to reality will producer cars be economic? Will the railways decide which grain companies live or die? Will the voluntary, govSee BIG CHANGES on page 7 »

of testing outweigh the cost is hard to say. a 2005 analysis by Rancher’s Beef, an alberta processor no longer in business, concluded BsE testing would increase the value of beef sold to Japan by $75.71 per head.

Power Pin

Innovative hitching idea took off

rops aren’t the only things that grow on Saskatchewan farms — so do ideas. Brian Olson is living proof of that. In the late ’80s, he was an ordinary farmer with a good idea. Today, he heads an ag manufacturing business that sells $12 million a year to customers around the world. In 1988, Olson won the Canada’s Farm Progress Show’s New Invention Award for Power Pin, a drawbar hitching assist for farm equipment. The device allows the operator of a tractor to hook up to an implement from inside the cab. Olson credits Canada’s Farm Progress Show for setting the stage for his company’s success. “The show opened the door to all the

opportunities we have today. We were able to gauge customer acceptance of the product so we knew we were on the right track,” Olson says. Today, Power Pin is the world’s largest supplier of tractor / implement drawbar hitching components. They sell roughly 25,000 implement hitches and about the same number of tractor drawbar hitching components a year. The company has been growing steadily at about 15 to 20 per cent per year. Olson encourages other farmer-inventors to take advantage of the opportunities at Canada’s Farm Progress Show. “It’s totally the right thing to do. It will give you a great idea of the market acceptance of what you are working on.”

Air Filter Blaster

A Division of Salmon River Innovations, LLC

Save MONEY with the revolutionary new method for air filter cleaning!

About

Functionality

Benefits

Air Filter Blaster is a new patented method for air filter cleaning that dramatically reduces the need to replace air filter and decreases fuel usage on motorized equipment. The technology has been proven in extensive field trials.

The system requires no expensive add-ons or external devices – it requires only a simple source of compressed air. Ports within the Air Filter Blaster’s centrifugal- forced-airinduction chamber create a shaft rotation that uniformly vibrates and discards dirt and particles from the inside of the air filter out on any size filter.

Cost savings can be realized after the first use. By reducing fuel usage, filter replacements and landfill charges, Air Filter Blaster generates significant ongoing savings while helping your company achieve green fleet goals.

Environmentally Friendly - Green Technology! Annual savings of over $10,000 per vehicle can be realized using Air Filter Blaster Technology! Air Filter Blaster: Portable Unit

Air Filter Blaster: Stationary Unit

Designed to be taken directly into the field or on the road as a portable unit either with a service truck or for dedicated use on a single piece of movable equipment.

AIR FILTERS LAST UP TO 20 TIMES LONGER

Designed for a service shop or facility, the stationary unit is an enclosed dust collection unit that can service multiple pieces of equipment on a regular basis.

Seedmaster

Multi-award winning innovations

“must-attend event:” that’s how Cory Beaujot, marketing manager for Seedmaster describes Canada’s Farm Progress Show. Last year was especially rewarding for Seedmaster at Canada’s Farm Progress Show. The company won three prizes in the show’s Innovation Awards. They won Sterling Awards for Zone Command, an overlap control system and for Nova XP 820 Smart Cart, an 820 bushel seed and fertilizer carrier with an advanced metering system. They also received the Gold Award for Ultra Pro Canola, a refined metering system for canola that allows for very uniform seed placement. Beaujot is a big believer in Canada’s Farm Progress Show as a part of his company’s marketing strategy.

“We feel it’s the best place to unveil new products. It’s at the perfect time of year: it’s just after seeding so farmers have a bit of time to look around and see what sort of equipment they like. The show’s organizers have really beefed up the international side of the show which has helped us market products around the world.” Beaujot has high praise for the Innovation Awards. “Other shows try to do innovation awards but their selection committees are not as well versed. The Farm Progress awards are not a popularity contest. There is a rigourous application and review process. It is a significant nod from the industry to receive a Farm Progress Innovation Award,” Beaujot says.
