Dwindling protein levels in forage could prove costly

Carbon tax could be good news

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

B I G S K Y, Mo n t . — C l i m a t e change could lead to diminishing protein in feed for livestock, says an American ecologist who studies animal diets and grasslands. In fact, he said the protein content in grass and forage has already dropped and the slow decline has escaped major attention. Joseph Craine, co-founder of J o n a h Ve n t u r e s a n d f o r m e r researcher at Kansas State University, told those at the International Bison Congress July 5 that data shows protein concentrations on g r a z i n g l a n d s a re d e c l i n i n g throughout North America and dropped by about 10 percent between 1995 and 2015. “It’s been something that’s been gradual. It’s been chronic and it hasn’t really been noticed because we haven’t been measuring it and looking at it,” said Craine. He used data from 36,000 cattle manure samples collected by Texas A & M University over a 22-year period and screened out those

Positive outlook at APAS carbon summit BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Saskatchewan’s general farm organization dipped its toes into the murky waters of carbon pricing last week. It came away with a generally positive view of how Canada’s plan to monitor, reduce and tax carbon emissions might affect prairie farmers. Experts who spoke at the Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan’s Prairie Agriculture Carbon Summit said e s t a b l i s h i n g a f ra m e w o rk t o price carbon, tax emitters and re w a rd t h o s e w h o s e q u e s t e r greenhouse gases could prove to be hugely beneficial for agriculture. However, the agriculture industry must be prepared to present a strong case to policy makers, explaining why farm practices that reduce carbon emissions should be rewarded, they added. And their arguments must be backed by science. “Pay attention to this issue (because) it is not going to go away,” said John Bennett, a panelist at the event and former chair of the Saskatchewan Soil Conservation Association. “It will be part of your life and it can either benefit you or be a detriment to your operation. “There is huge value in this thing, and we need to ensure that at least some of that value comes back to the farmer.” SEE CARBON TAX, PAGE 4

FOOD PROCESSING

Proposed food centre a boon for pulse sector BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

VANCOUVER — Buhler, a Swiss owned maker of food processing technology, is building a $10 million food application centre in Minneapolis that could help transform the pulse industry. “This is a really significant point in pulse industry development and diversification,” said Gordon Bacon, chief executive officer of Pulse Canada. The centre is expected to help pulses move beyond being a commodity crop, continuing the shift into becoming high-value ingredients for packaged food products. Nick Hay, director of processing solutions for pulses, seeds and spices with Buhler Group, said the centre will expand on the existing extrusion facility located at the company’s North American headquarters. Buhler will be building a pilot scale facility for turning raw pulses and other crops into highly functional and nutritive ingredients. “We’ll have the full range of what we can offer in terms of the latest processing machinery,” he said during the announcement at Pulses 2017. The pilot plant will be capable of cleaning, optically sorting, dehulling, splitting and milling pulses using several types of roller mills. Companies will be able to rent the facility to conduct proprietary business or collaborate with Buhler on developing new processes or building a case for a joint research and development funding application. Buhler will also be partnering with industry associations and academia on pre-competitive research projects. There will be a quality lab that can provide basic analysis of end products such as the protein and water content of the pulse flour and a kitchen lab for testing in-house performance of products. The facility will have a food safety license so that food samples can be used in market tests. Bacon said it says a lot about the potential of pulse-based food ingredients when the world’s largest manufacturer of milling and extrusion equipment decides to invest $10 million in a pilot plant of this magnitude. However, the pulse industry is just entering the milling business and there are a lot of questions that need to be answered even at the farm level. One factor holding the industry back from making further inroads in the food ingredients business is the lack of consistent quality. “You can’t have variability of raw product coming in,” said Bacon. He noted that there is tremendous variability in pulses at the genetic level. “All yellow peas are round and yellow but beyond that the variability is immense,” he said. sean.pratt@producer.com

Year of Pulses smashing success The 2016 campaign may have helped increase North American consumption by 550 million tonnes SEAN PRATT ATTENDED THE PULSES 2017 CONFERENCE HELD JULY 10-13 IN VANCOUVER AND FILED THESE STORIES. SEE NEXT WEEK FOR MORE COVERAGE. BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

VANCOUVER — One of the main objectives of International Year of Pulses 2016 was to increase consumption of the crops in North America, and that has happened in a big way. Based on an analysis of U.S. Department of Agriculture stocks data, domestic consumption of pulses in the United States will reach 900,000 tonnes in 2016-17, up from 350,000 tonnes the previous year. “ That is a rocket rise,” Tim McGreevy, chief executive officer of the U.S. Dry Pea and Lentil Council, told delegates attending Pulses 2017. “So you farmers and traders in Canada and the U.S. who invested in this campaign, here’s the payoff.” North America has some of the lowest consumption rates of pulses in the world: four kilograms per person in 2015 compared to 61 kg for wheat and 76 kg for meat. McGreevy said that is a headscratcher, given that pulses are high in protein, fibre, potassium, folate and other nutritious elements. “We are tops. No one can beat us as a crop,” he said. Pulses are also sustainable in that they don’t require a lot of

water and fix their own nitrogen. “By God, we have the trifecta because we are also affordable,” McGreevy said. Erika Simms, vice-president of communications at Maxwell PR, said the problem is that many North Americans don’t know anything about pulses. “People are really, really uneducated about it,” she said. The target group for the North American campaign comprises 18 to 34 year olds, commonly known as millennials. Consumer research showed they thought pulses were gassy food that old people, poor people and hippies ate. The challenge was to convince them that pulses fit their lifestyle, which is all about health and sustainability. The pulse industry took to social media, using advertising campaigns on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram and using bloggers, dietitians and health media to spread the message. The goal was to generate 500 million media impressions, 500,000 unique website visits and have 50,000 people take the pulse pledge to incorporate pulses into their diets for a short period. By the end of the IYOP campaign

it had generated 3.44 billion media impressions in North America, 827,000 unique website visits and 59,000 pulse pledges. McGreevy said the campaign was hugely successful, but that is just the start. “2016 was the year of the pulses; 2017 to 2025 is going to be the decade of the pulses,” he said. “We are trying to transform the way we think of food.” Pulse organizations in Canada and the U.S. have set a target of boosting North American consumption to 5.2 kg per person by 2020 and eventually to 6.2 kg per person. “That would generate one million tonnes of new demand here in North America,” he said. Accomplishing that goal would

mean everybody in North America eating half a cup of pulses three times a week, which is what is recommended in U.S. dietary guidelines. That is what is behind the industry’s latest campaign, the Half Cup Habit, where consumers commit to eating half a cup of pulses three times a week for four weeks. Simms said the 2017 campaign targets are two billion media impressions, 700,000 unique website visits and 50,000 Half Cup Habit participants. She said they are well on the way to meeting those goals. Information garnered McGreevy said they learned a lot of lessons from the 2016 IYOP campaign: • The need for new product innovation. “It has to taste good. It has to be enjoyable to eat,” he said. • Continue promoting the nutrition benefits of eating pulses because it’s a message that resonates with consumers. • Weight management is the primary concern of American consumers, so that needs to be used in advertising campaigns. • There needs to be a bit of fear mongering in advertising, preying on people’s concerns about diabetes and heart disease. “You can’t play the fear card too much, but you can play it a little bit. It is motivating,” said McGreevy. sean.pratt@producer.com

CARBON TAX GOOD NEWS?

CARBON TAX

» CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Higher farm input prices likely, despite tax exemptions

Brian McConkey, a research scientist with Agriculture Canada, said land managers — particularly farmers and foresters — have a significant opportunity to influence policy and set the direction for Canada’s new approach to managing greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and methane. “We are in the greenhouse gas business,” McConkey told a crowd of several hundred who attended the July 13-14 event in Saskatoon. “You’re manipulating carbon and nitrogen cycles on the farm, so you are a big player in this.” Beginning next year, Canada will implement a carbon tax aimed at reducing the country’s greenhouse gas emissions. Every province in Canada will have the flexibility to design its own system for taxing emissions, rewarding those that contribute to emission reductions and investing revenues collected through the tax. The Saskatchewan and Manitoba governments openly oppose the concept of a carbon tax. Detractors say the tax will inevitably result in higher prices for many consumer products, including fossil fuels, and will have a negative effect on the provincial and federal economies. However, many of the expert panelists who spoke at the APAS event suggested that it is preferable to get on board and influence policy, rather than oppose the concept and live with the consequences of

policies made by others. The federal government has already devised a backstop carbon policy that will be imposed on provinces that fail to develop their own carbon taxation and mitigation mechanisms. That backstop policy includes exemptions for the consumption of most fossil fuels on the farm. It also proposes a taxation rate of $10 for every tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent emitted in 2018, increasing to $50 per tonne by 2022. Revenues collected through the tax can be reinvested at the province’s discretion. Industries that present a sound argument for carbon tax exemptions or financial incentives that reward emission-reducing activities could potentially benefit under the new carbon tax regime. At $50 per tonne, revenues generated through a national carbon tax plan could easily exceed hundreds of billions of dollars annually, according to some experts. APAS president Todd Lewis said Saskatchewan’s agriculture industry is uniquely positioned to secure a share of that revenue. “I think we have to recognize that this is an opportunity for agriculture, and the initial groundwork that’s laid is to influence the plan going forward for the next number of decades. I think in a lot of ways this could be a positive story for agriculture.” brian.cross@producer.com

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Everyone knows that the tax man giveth and the tax man taketh away. But in the case of carbon tax, who will giveth the most? Farm economists who spoke at the Prairie Agriculture Summit in Saskatoon last week delivered a generally positive message about carbon taxes, suggesting that financial rewards realized by Canada’s agriculture sector could outweigh financial penalties. But like most taxes, the devil will be in the details, they added. In theory, farmers may benefit financially by adopting farm practices that reduce emissions. However, they could also see higher prices for many of the goods and services they consume. “The idea that one particular sector of the economy (agriculture) can be completely exempt from a tax that’s going to affect the entire economy is a fallacy,” said Tristan Skolrud, a carbon tax expert and assistant professor at the University of Saskatchewan’s agricultural and resource economics department. Skolrud presented the following scenarios, based on a federal car-

bon tax rate of $10 per tonne in 2018 that rises to $50 per tonne in 2022. • Grain drying: Natural gas prices are a significant factor in determining grain drying costs. If a grower removes 2.5 pounds of water from every bushel of grain, then the fuel-only cost of drying that grain could increase by 50 percent over five years. Skolrud said the fuel-only component of drying could rise to three cents per bushel, or $1.93, per acre in 2022, up from two cents per bu., or $1.29, per acre in 2018, assuming a natural gas price of $3.65 per gigjoule and an average yield of 64.5 bu. per acre. • Trucking: Higher fuel costs paid by trucking companies will likely be passed on to growers that pay to have grain trucked to market. Based on diesel costs of 90 cents per litre, fuel economy of 33 litres per 100 kilometres and a hauling capacity of 1,000 bu., the fuelonly component of trucking costs could increase to 3.4 cents per bu. per 100 km in 2022, up from three cents per bu. per 100 km in 2018. • Rail freight rates: Fuel is a major component of rail freight costs. Currently, rail freight rates on

much of the grain produced in Western Canada are regulated through maximum revenue entitlements, also known as the revenue cap. The implementation of a carbon tax will result in shipping costs for railways and are therefore likely to be reflected in a higher revenue cap, beginning next year. • Input costs: The prices of basic farm inputs, including nitrogen fertilizers, potash and chemicals, could increase at the consumer level, depending on where those inputs are manufactured. The extent to which prices rise will depend on whether farmers have access to substitute products that are manufactured in jurisdictions that do not have a carbon tax. For example, if a Canadian fertilizer manufacturer pays a carbon tax of $50 per tonne and a competing American manufacturer pays nothing per tonne, then Canadian fertilizer manuf a c t u re r s may b e f o rc e d t o absorb a portion of the extra tax cost rather than passing it on to consumers in order to remain competitive. brian.cross@producer.com

DWINDLING PROTEIN » CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 from cattle given supplemental feed so he could focus on grazing. He published a scientific paper on his findings in March. “Protein is the main driver of weight gain for these animals out in the field. It’s the main limiting factor for how much weight these animals put on in a year. It’s cattle, it’s bison,” he said. Crude protein content in feed has declined to 9.5 percent from 10.5 percent in a 10-year period ending in 2015, according to the data. Given that there are about 80 million cattle in the United States and that protein is vital to productivity, Craine estimated the cost of loss of crude protein at $2 billion. Surya Acharya, a research scientist and forage breeder with Agriculture Canada, said there are many variables affecting protein content in grass and forages and he would need to see replicated studies before accepting Craine’s position. “I think it is possible that if he happens to collect material or manure from an old stand … and over the years the stand is not being fertilized, the protein content may go down, but I don’t think it would be a general thing everywhere,” said Acharya. “I don’t think you can attribute that directly to climate change.” Craine said more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere reduces plant protein for a variety of reasons, so his best guess is that global warming will reduce plant protein concentrations all over the world. In an interview, Craine said he doesn’t think the cattle industry is aware of the slow decline in crude plant protein. The manure samples in Texas were primarily collected for short-term management purposes rather than longer-term protein analysis that shows the reduction. “It’s probably going to get worse,” he said. “The scary part about it is that more than likely all of that has happened and we haven’t noticed. We understand that cattle weights have been increasing over time, but that’s probably in large part due to genetics overriding these other signals that we have. “But when you think about it, if we had one percent higher crude protein throughout the entire U.S., the amount of secondary feeding we would have to do would be a lot less.” Acharya said improved cattle genetics could have affected Craine’s research in a different way. “If the samples were collected

JOSEPH CRAINE CO-FOUNDER, JONAH VENTURES

mostly on grasses, one variable thing I would say would be the cattle over the years, probably they’re becoming more and more efficient to utilize the nutrient in the feed,” he said. That would mean less crude protein expelled in the manure. “Second would be that the grass itself, if they are not fertilized on a regular basis, the older stands would have less nitrogen to actually take up so the nutrient value of old stands would be slightly lower.” Craine’s speech to producers focused on the climate forecast for bison specifically, although protein content has implications for all livestock. He used cattle manure samples as a proxy for bison

because data for the latter animals is not available. “If we want to have bison that graze on grasslands that were similar to what we had a couple decades ago, no less what we had in 1900, that’s going to be one of the major areas that we have to work on, is get CO2 concentrations down,” he said. Craine pointed out that bison raised in southern regions are smaller than those in the north, and crude plant protein on grazing lands is lower in the south than the north. He has weight data from 22 bison herds from South Dakota in the north and Oklahoma in the south. “That difference between our cold site and hot site was somewhere in the order of 150 kilograms, or over 300 pounds difference. Being in a hot place gives us small bison, and that was pretty consistent as we looked across these 22 herds.” Craine estimated that for every 1 C increase in average temperature, 20 to 25 lb. in bison weight gain will be lost. Thus a four-degree increase in temperature will result in animals weighing 100 lb. less on average. “Southern herds are always smaller (in average size of animal)

than northern herds. In northern areas, animals get bigger, and this is in female bison, it’s in male bison. We know that really clearly.” He said the primary reason is lower crude protein in grasses and plants that grow in warmer climates. Implications for bison, the majority of which are raised on grass, include a future need for better access to protein, Craine said. That might involve planting more nitrogen-fixing legumes, fertilizing grasslands or providing supplemental protein. Acharya said he isn’t aware of studies showing lower protein in grasses from hotter climates, but he noted moisture might be a factor. “One important thing in hotter climates is it can be hot but it can be also a very, very moist environment and there the nitrogen and things like that can be leached down in the soil profile. “So I think it is possible in a hotter climate … the nutrient status in the soil is not very good. So I think these are difficult things to compare unless you remove all the biases.” Craine said that historically, bison migrated long distances in search of protein and they were able to find it.

“We’ve restricted them down to smaller and smaller areas and we’ve forced them to eat in one spot. They can’t chase higher protein concentrations. We’re responsible for making sure that they get high protein concentrations, high calving rates, put on a lot of mass.” He said more bison-specific data is needed so producers can plan for a warmer future, and one way to do that is to form a continental-scale bison monitoring network. Information is needed on bison diet, weight gain and calving rates, for starters, he said. Data from about 100 herds would be needed and would have to be collected for at least a 10-year period to obtain reliable data. “We’re going into the future blind. We don’t have the knowledge that we need,” Craine said. “If we know what they eat and what they prefer, we might be able to improve our grasslands, make them more diverse, which is beneficial in many ways beyond just diet, and get more protein into their diet naturally, if I can use that word, and as a result have better performance from those animals.” barb.glen@producer.com

RISK MANAGEMENT

Ag ministers pressed to decide on farm program review BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Several Canadian farm organizations say they expect agriculture ministers will approve a review of business risk management programs at their annual meeting this week in St. John’s. That would put changes to the largest portion of the next policy framework, which was to be signed at the meeting, on hold. Federal, provincial and territorial ministers

are meeting July 20-21. Canada’s AgGrowth Coalition said a comprehensive polic y review could be done over the next year, followed by another year for program design and implementation. The coalition includes the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, the Canadian Canola Growers Association, Grain Growers of Canada, Grain Farmers of Ontario, the National Sheep Network and the Canadian Horticultural Council.

It formed earlier this year to press for BRM programs that are responsive to farmers’ needs. Farmers across the country have complained that the programs are ineffective and complicated. Participation in AgriStability has dropped significantly, and there is no coverage for regional disasters. “Given the opportunities facing the sector and the ambitious targets set for growth in the sector, this review must be approached with urgency and a clear mandate to act

immediately upon subsequent recommendations,” said a statement issued by the coalition. Ontario’s Jeff Leal proposed a similar review at the ministers’ mid-term meeting. He said the framework could be signed, with a provision for the review, and the status quo would continue for those programs until the review is complete. The idea met with support from some provinces but others wanted changes sooner.

Saskatchewan minister Lyle Stewart suggested at one point that a review could hold up the entire framework, which also includes cost-shared programming for things like environmental programs and agricultural awareness. Grow ing For ward 2 expires March 31, 2018. The ministers will discuss other issues, including trade, before their meeting wraps up. karen.briere@producer.com

No pea rally expected until winter A large Indian stockpile will reduce demand to that country but exports to China are expected to increase BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

VANCOUVER — Big pea inventories in Canada’s top market will keep a lid on prices until winter, says a trader. Eric Fossay, senior merchant with Cargill Canada, said India has lots of stocks on hand and is well covered for the start of 2017-18 with new crop purchases from Canada. “My expectation is demand will likely remain quiet until these inventories are drawn down,” he told delegates attending Pulses 2017. “We may see demand return probably some time in December or January.” That is when Canadian growers can expect to see higher values for their yellow peas. Fossay estimates Canadian growers are already 30 to 40 percent sold on new crop and are in no hurry to price more. China is another major market for Canadian peas, and demand will rise there, according to Zhang Baosheng, general manager of Cofco-Shandong Vermicelli & Beans Import/Export Co. Ltd. China imported 467,000 tonnes of peas between January and May 2017, a 28 percent increase over the same period last year. Baosheng anticipates a 15 to 30 percent increase over last year’s one million tonnes of imports by the time the year is over. “We will reach an historic record. It’s a really big increase,” he said. “The main reason is our pea protein factories are processing more because of a good market for pea protein.” Slumping pea starch imports from Europe are another factor. Marlene Boersch, managing partner with Mercantile Consulting Venture, expects a contraction in both global supply and demand in 2017. She is forecasting 9.4 million tonnes of production, an 11 percent drop from 2016. However, demand will also shrink by about 240,000 tonnes, a five percent reduction.

Heat and dry weather are shrivelling crops in southern parts of the Prairies, including peas. This crop near Moose Jaw was stressed by temperatures that topped out at 35 C July 16. Crops in more northern parts of the Prairies might do better. | D’ARCE MCMILLAN PHOTO Canada has a good yield outlook in the northern Prairies, but there is concern about the crop in the southern Prairies. Boersch said 84 percent of the 1.1 million acres planted in the United States are in North Dakota and Montana, two states suffering through severe drought. Crops look good in Russia and most of the former Soviet Union but it is dry in parts of the European Union and Ukraine. Canada shouldn’t expect much export competition from Australia

this year, said Rob Brealey, pulse trader with Nidera Australia Pty. Ltd. Boersch is forecasting 330,000 tonnes of Australian production. “I think the outlook is a little less than that and probably declining further as the weather develops,” said Brealey. He believes the crop will be less than 300,000 tonnes, and there should be strong domestic feed demand for peas this year because of rising wheat and meal prices in Australia.

“Australia could well have very little in the way of peas to export this year,” said Brealey. However, Ukraine is coming on like gangbusters. Antonina Skiliarenko of the Community of Pulse Producers and Customers of Ukraine, said the country will double its production to a record one million tonnes this year. “Maybe next year we will be number two in world pea production,” she said to applause. Skiliarenko said the country has plenty of fertile soil that can be converted to pea production. “We can grow more, more and more,” she said. “We will be a very big player in the globe for peas and all pulses.” Moderator Vijay Iyengar, chair of Agrocorp International, said Canadian growers need to understand that Black Sea peas are no longer inferior. “Over the last couple of years the quality of the Black Sea peas has been exceptional,” he said. And they are sold in India at a $25 per tonne discount to Canadian peas. Fossay said there is typically very aggressive pricing out of the Black Sea region starting around this time of year, but they sell out quick. That is another reason he expects prices to move higher in winter when the Black Sea push subsides. Boersch is bullish about the longterm future of peas. The two million tonne increase in global production over the past five years has been more than matched by a 2.2 million tonne increase in demand. Pea markets are incredibly diversified with food, feed, pet food and now fractionation demand. Fractionation plants have been announced for all three prairie provinces. She said the plants in Alberta and Manitoba alone should add about 200,000 tonnes of new demand. However, she warned that there could be a supply shortage looming next year because of strong wheat and canola prices. She thinks Canadian pea acres will contract in 2018. sean.pratt@producer.com

Green lentil price outlook strong Lower seeded area and hot weather shrinking North American crops BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

VANCOUVER — Pent up demand and poor growing conditions should result in a tight green lentil market this year, say analysts. Marlene Boersch, managing partner with Mercantile Consulting Venture, said some demand went unfilled last year due to severe quality problems with the Canadian crop. “We have a little bit of catch-up demand for Canadian greens,” she told delegates attending Pulses 2017. There is also potential for green lentils to be substituted for Indian pigeon peas this year. Planting of the pigeon pea crop is nine percent behind last year’s pace. Farmers are not enamored with the Indian government’s support program for pigeon peas.

MARLENE BOERSCH MERCANTILE CONSULTING VENTURE

On the supply side, acreage is down 24 percent in Canada and while lentils thrive under dry conditions it has been too hot and dry this year. Acres are up nine percent in the U.S. but 91 percent of the lentils are grown in North Dakota and Montana where there has been severe drought. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

Rebound in red lentils up to Mother Nature Dry conditions on parts of the Prairies will see production drop, but major export markets have sufficient stocks BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

VANCOUVER, B.C. — Red lentil markets are in gridlock, according to a panel of experts gathered at Pulses 2017. “The Canadian supply may be short, while on the other hand destination markets are full,” said Farhan Adam, chief executive officer with Marina Commodities Inc. “In short, it’s a standstill situation for Canadian lentils. The future now is in Mother Nature’s hands.” Chuck Penner, analyst with LeftFi e l d C o m m o d i t y R e s e a rc h, believes red lentil prices have finally stabilized after a prolonged downward plunge since the start of 2016. He forecasts stable to higher prices, largely depending on the Canadian harvest. Smaller crops in Canada and Australia should be adequate to meet the reduced demand from key markets like India and Turkey.

ANURAG TULSHAN ESARCO EXIM PVT. LTD.

Anurag Tulshan, owner of Esarco Exim Pvt. Ltd., said India produced 800,000 tonnes of red lentils last winter, which is 50 to 60 percent

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE Boersch said 56 percent of the lentil crop in Montana was rated poor to very poor as of July 9. There is no rating for lentils in North Dakota but she said it is in better shape than Montana’s crop. “We actually have a fairly tight green lentil balance sheet.” Sportelli Pierfrancesco, a trader with Columbia Grain Inc. in Montana, estimates that this year’s crop will average 17 to 18 bushels per acre, down from the average of about 25 bushels. He said the increased acres won’t

more than normal. He estimates that with imports from Canada and Australia there is 800,000 tonnes of stocks in India right now, which is almost eight months worth of consumption. “In India there is a problem of plenty,” he said. That’s why Indian importers are not willing to pay anything above $500 per tonne. The other big buyer of Canadian lentils is Turkey. Penner forecasts 370,000 tonnes of Turkish production, which is a

modest increase “but not a game changer.” Merve Fettahoglu, international trade business manager with Goze Agricultural Company, one of the biggest lentil processors in Turkey, took issue with Penner’s estimate. She said there was a 10 percent increase in planting and yields will be up about 30 percent, resulting in a crop of about 450,000 tonnes and total supply of 500,000 tonnes. Fettahoglu warned Canadian exporters that Turkey has been

very pleased with Australian lentils and may buy another 30,000 to 40,000 tonnes from there this year. Penner forecasts 1.9 million tonnes of Canadian production, down from 2.5 million tonnes last year. A 45 percent decline in acres will be partially offset by better yields. He estimated carryout at 205,000 tonnes, but much of that will not be of exportable quality. He forecasts 1.7 million tonnes of exports, down from 1.84 million tonnes in 2016-17.

be enough to offset the poor yields. Pierfrancesco forecasts 290,000 tonnes of U.S. Richlea type lentils, 66,000 tonnes of Estons and about 17,500 tonnes of Lairds. U.S. carryout will be tight at about 50,000 tonnes. Greg Simpson, president of Simpson Seeds, said the green lentil growing areas of Saskatchewan have received 50 to 75 millimetres of rain so far compared to 200 mm for a typical growing season. Fortunately, there was good subsoil moisture from last year when the lentil crop got about 600 mm of

rain or three times the normal amount. “Surprisingly the lentils are holding on,” he said. What is a concern is the extreme heat with many days exceeding 30 C. That can reduce yields as the plants reduce secondary branching and focus on the main stem. A side-effect of that is that it tends

to produce plump seeds, so there should be plenty of large caliber green lentils this year. Simpson said the extreme heat “super accelerates” the rate of maturity. He expects some of the early seeded lentils will be ready to harvest in two weeks. He anticipates Canadian green lentils to trade around $1,000 per

RAIN RECEIVED IN GREEN LENTIL AREAS IS ONLY

50-75 millimetres

“What we’ve seen, so far anyway, with the dry conditions is that the quality should be better,” Penner told his international audience. Exports out of Australia are expected to be much lower. The Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences forecasts 530,000 tonnes of production, down from 830,000 tonnes in 2016-17. But Pulse Australia thinks it will be lower than that. It forecasts 370,000 tonnes due to dry conditions. Australia expor ted 700,000 tonnes of lentils between October 2016 and May 2017. It has about 100,000 tonnes left to sell in this campaign, so exports have slowed. “Next year with the crop considerably smaller, we’ll see those numbers come back down to probably 300,000 to 350,000 tonnes,” said Penner. Adam believes it is going to be difficult to source new crop lentils from Canadian farmers this fall. He thinks Canadian production will be well below 1.8 million tonnes due to extremely dry conditions in southern Saskatchewan. “This creates a bullish sentiment and we know our growers will not sell cheap,” he said. The other problem is that wheat and canola prices are good and that should generate enough returns to allow growers to lock up their lentil bins. “It is definitely, at the moment, not easy for us to buy red lentils on farms with these conditions,” said Adam. sean.pratt@producer.com

tonne. But that could change in a hurry if what is expected to be a good quality crop takes a turn for the worse due to harvest rains. “If we do get that scenario, then look out, the prices can move up at least another $100 per tonne from where they are today,” he said. Boersch warned buyers that lentil acres could be down considerably next year due to strong wheat and oilseed prices. Farmers who have struggled with disease issues will take lentils out of their rotations in favour of cereal crops. sean.pratt@producer.com

Manitoba spring wheat falls to third place Seeded acres of canola and soybeans both exceed spring wheat in the province

BRANDON BUREAU

The Brandon Wheat Kings junior hockey team may want to consider a name change now that hard red spring wheat has become the third string crop in Manitoba. For the first time since records have been kept, hard red spring wheat is not No. 1 or No. 2 in crop acreage in the province. Manitoba Agricultural Services Corp., the provincial crop insurer, projects that the province has 2.144 million acres of hard red spring wheat this year, which is 153,000 acres fewer than the 2.298 million seeded acres of soybeans. The MASC numbers are the most reliable acreage figures for the province because Statistics Canada acreage estimates are based on farmer surveys. MASC had recorded 97 percent of its crop insurance files as of July 12, so its projected acres for 2017 are slightly higher than actual data. Canola is still the top dog in Manitoba — acres are almost unchanged from 2016. MASC projects acres of 3.172 million, compared to 3.175 million last year. Canola held onto acres despite soybean’s massive gains, which

Soybeans surpassed hard red spring wheat acres in Manitoba this year, with just under three million acres planted to the oilseed. | FILE PHOTO jumped 652,084 acres in one year. Grain corn will also set a record — MASC projects an acreage of 400,035. Soybeans and grain corn occupy a total of 2.7 million acres in Manitoba this year, more than triple what was planted in 2011. The acreage shift and dominance of canola, soybeans and corn was evident on a mid-July drive between Carman and Brandon.

The three crops covered nearly every field along Highway 2. The number of wheat crops could be counted on the fingers of two hands. Doug Wilcox, MASC’s research administration manager, said soybeans have surpassed hard red spring wheat acres but total wheat acres, including other classes of spring wheat and winter wheat, are still higher than beans.

Oats have also increased significantly, posting a 32 percent increase to 461,804 acres from 350,537 last year. A long list of crops lost acres to soybeans, including barley, fall rye, field peas and sunflowers. Flax area in the province was the smallest ever recorded, while hempseed area doubled. robert.arnason@producer.com

Heat and drought rewriting 2017 wheat story

HARVEST RESUMES IN RUSSIA, UKRAINE

MARKET WATCH

D’ARCE McMILLAN

y car thermometer hit 38 C July 16 as I drove an area around Moose Jaw, Sask., although Environment Canada said the official high was 34.9 C. Whatever it was, it was smokin’ hot in an area that has had almost no rain in the past 30 days and is identified in Agriculture Canada precipitation maps as having zero to 10 percent of normal precipitation since April 1. Indeed, a huge part of Saskatchewan, mostly from Saskatoon south, and almost all of Manitoba have had less than 20 percent of normal precipitation since April 1, according to the Agriculture Canada maps. It is a testament to soil moisture reserves carried into this year’s growing season that there is much growth at all. And when the mercury climbs above 30 C in these areas, the stress has to be severely hurting yield potential. We’ll have one assessment of

prairie production potential this week when Bruce Burnett, director of markets and weather information at Glacier FarmMedia, releases the results of his 4,000 kilometre crop tour at the Ag In Motion show. We’ll have a story on Burnett’s forecast on our website and in next week’s paper. Agriculture Canada will begin surveying farmers later this month for its first report on production, set to be issued Aug. 30. The U.S. Department of Agriculture last week cut its forecast of the domestic spring wheat crop to 423 million bushels, or 11.5 million tonnes, on a yield of 40.3 bu. per acre. That is down from 534 million bu. (14.5 million tonnes) on a yield for 47.2 bu. per acres last year. The five-year average is 561 million. It would not surprise me if the USDA further trims that number. The U.S. national spring wheat crop condition rating dipped again this week. The good to excellent rating in North Dakota dropped four percentage points to just 32 percent. Last year it was 73 percent. The USDA pegged U.S. durum production at 57.5 million bu., down from 104.1 million last year. The department left its forecast of Canadian all wheat and durum production unchanged at 28.23 million tonnes. It will be substantially less than that. Saskatchewan Agriculture last week said the spring wheat crop

More +30 C days are forecast for July. | D’ARCE MCMILLAN PHOTO was 68 percent good to excellent, down two percentage points from June 26. Last year at this time it was 92 percent. Durum was only 43 percent good to excellent, down from 49 percent June 26 and 93 percent last year. Alberta also issues crop condition ratings. Its report last week said the spring wheat crop was holding up well at 73 percent good to excellent, down about four percentage points from the previous week. Last year it was 82 percent at the same point, but in 2015 the drought in Alberta was severe and the condition was only 32 percent.

In 2015, western Canadian crops were rescued by a turn to better weather about mid-July. So far, I don’t see a major weather change happening this year with temperatures often getting up to 30 C or hotter and little rain expected for the rest of July. The USDA did trim its outlook for Australian wheat production to 23.5 million tonnes from 25 million last month, but analysts Down Under are now talking of a crop near 20 million tonnes if rain does not arrive soon. The wheat production cuts that the USDA made last week were in large part offset by a three million tonne increase in its outlook for the Russian crop. It said conditions there during the growing season were almost ideal. However, rain has disrupted the harvest, which could mean another major world crop with quality problems. Last week’s USDA report seem to give the market some confidence that supply will be adequate, but I think the whole story has not yet been written for wheat. Meanwhile, the huge corn and soybean crops in the U.S. Midwest do not appear to be seriously threatened by the weather. So long as they are OK, that limits the potential for market panic.

MOSCOW/KIEV (Reuters) — Russia and Ukraine are harvesting wheat after rain caused delays. Wheat yields are strong in Russia and lower in Ukraine, analysts and traders said. SovEcon upgraded its Russia forecast to 72.9 million tonnes, down slightly from 73.3 million in 2016. Last week the U.S. Department of Agriculture raised its monthly forecast by three million tonnes to 72 million. It trimmed Ukraine’s wheat crop by one million tonnes to 24 million. Last year it produced 26.8 million. CHINA WHEAT OK BEIJING, China (Reuters) — China’s winter wheat crop rose almost one percent to 127.35 million tonnes, the National Bureau of Statistics said July 13, after good weather boosted yields. The crop, planted in autumn and harvested in May and June, accounts for more than 90 percent of China’s total wheat crop. Crop quality improved, the bureau said, thanks to sunny warm weather at the maturing phase and harvest. Wheat imports are expected to drop 38 percent to three million tonnes.

Hair rams were $117-130 per cwt. Cull ewes were $106-$163.

CANFAX REPORT FED CATTLE EDGE HIGHER The fed steer weighted average was $144.17 per hundredweight, up 92 cents. There was no average for heifers during a quiet week. The U.S. fed cash and futures market traded higher, leading Canadian producers to expect higher prices. However, the impact was muted here. A large part of the show list was carried over. U.S. bids for Canadian cattle worked back close to local prices. There were reports of prairie cattle going to Guelph, Ont., for slaughter. The Canadian dollar rose as the Bank of Canada raised interest rates. The Alberta cash-to-futures basis weakened about $1 per cwt. and is now slightly weaker than the fiveyear July average. Alberta packers aggressively processed cattle. The July holidayweek slaughter was more than 40,000 head. Last year, the holiday-shortened week was about 7,000 less. Packers are expected to schedule Saturday kills through the summer. Exports ran below a year ago through most of the first half of the year, but they have now caught up and are slightly higher than last year. The stronger loonie and ample fed supplies will restrict upside price potential. Some price stability may be warranted after the major price decline from the spring highs, but downside risk still remains.

COWS STEADY D1, D2 cows ranged $100-$116 to average $107, down only 33 cents. D3 cows ranged $90-$102 to average $95.88. Rail grade cows ranged $200-$206. Fed cattle prices have recently moved below year-ago levels, while cow prices are sitting $10$12 higher than last year. D1, D2 cows are trading within $5 of the highs set in early June. Alberta D1, D2 cash cows have been trading at a $15-$16 premium over the U.S. utility cow market. Non-fed production should be nearing a seasonal low. This should lend support to the 85 percent trim market.

It is common to see trim values rally into the summer.

FEEDERS LOWER The feeder market was lightly tested and prices were lower on smaller lot sizes and varying quality. With a lot of light calves placed on feed January to May, yearling supplies should be snug into August and September. Depending on when grass cattle were bought, there has been opportunity to forward contract grass yearlings at a reasonable profit. More yearlings have likely been forward contracted this year than last year. Many producers retained ownership of their grass yearlings last year and put them on feed in smaller custom lots or backgrounding lots to have them finished. The yearlings that were sold in the first quarter of 2017 saw historically large profit margins. Because this strategy worked last year, some might want to gamble again on retaining ownership this year. Assuming more yearlings are contracted and producers again try retained ownership, competition could be stout on what is expected to be an historically tight yearling supply. Cow-calf pairs traded $1,800 to $3,050.

BARLEY PRICE RISES As feed barley prices rise sharply, Western Canada might lose its feed cost advantage over the United States. There are reports that barley for quick delivery are just shy of $4.50 per bushel delivered into southern Alberta. New crop barley bids are $4.50 to $4.70 for fall delivery in southern Alberta.

CATTLE ON FEED Feedlot supply in Alberta and Saskatchewan as of July 1 rose five percent from last year to 789,835 head. That was four percent above the five-year average. Placements in June were 64,534, up five percent from last year. It was the fifth consecutive month of placements above year ago levels. More of the placements were

light cattle under 700 pounds. That category was more than double last year, while those heavier than 700 lb. were down two percent. The number of heifers going into feedlots was 26,481, down from 39,584 last year, while steers rose to 38,053, up from 22,003. However, that does not suggest herd rebuilding. For the year, heifer placements are up 10 percent over last year and up 12 percent from the five year average.

OPINION CRAIG’S VIEW

INDUSTRY RECOGNITION

Ag Hall of Fame inductees a turning point for women?

or the first time ever, all inductees to the Canadian Agricultural Hall of Fame this year are women. They join only five other females already among the hall’s 210 members. What’s that? Only five in the 57-year history of the hall? It is true. Robynne Anderson, an agriculture consultant and publisher, Patty Jones, a livestock photographer, and Jean Szkotnicki, president of the Canadian Animal Health Institute, are the three 2017 entrants. They are deserving recipients who have contributed much to the industry, as have all those named to the hall, and we congratulate them. Considering the role women have played in agriculture since farming began, it should be commonplace to welcome women to places of particular honour in the industry. And yet, it is not. By making special note of this year’s unique slate, are we advancing the cause to acknowledge women in the field? Or would it best go unremarked upon as evidence that deserving people are being inducted regardless of their sex? Yes, you can over-think these things. It is easy to do, when it comes to gender politics. Viewed through today’s lens, everyone in the agricultural industry can legitimately question why there are so few women in the hall. Even a cursory examination reveals that today they are in positions of power and influence with agricultural businesses, agencies, commissions, boards and all levels of government. However, no one can deny that agriculture has long been a male-dominated pursuit. The need for physical strength

and the traditional roles of women made it so in times past. Mechanization, technology, computerization and the evolution of societal mores have fashioned a gradual change. Women now make up a higher percentage of attendees at field days and farm meetings. There is a higher awareness and lower tolerance for the dreaded and patronizing “man-splaining.” Men still outnumber women at most farm events, but demographics are a factor. There are more male than female farmers. There’s rarely a lineup for the women’s washrooms as there is at most public gatherings of any length. Women are involved in every facet of agriculture, and happily more of them are willing to acknowledge their role, their skills and their contribution to the industry. Part of the change is generational; gender equality is expected today, if not always available. Events like the Advancing Women in Agriculture conferences, grazing schools for women and similar promotions have proven to be empowering for many. These are tremendous assets, and the need or desire for their existence shows there is still work to do in providing women a sense of equal place among agriculture’s many facets. Women are as much the face of farming as the men with whom they work. It may be a stretch to say that this year’s Agricultural Hall of Fame inductee slate is a turning point in how women in agriculture are viewed. But maybe it is. We hope so.

People talk about the 1930s as the be-all and end-all of droughts. The ’30s was a walk in the park to some of the droughts in the previous centuries. We’re talking about multi-decadal. That’s pretty ominous. That’s something we have to get our heads around. JAMES WARREN UNIVERSITY OF REGINA PROFESSOR, PAGE 36

TRADE NEGOTIATIONS

Ottawa remains close-lipped as NAFTA renegotiations loom CAPITAL LETTERS

KELSEY JOHNSON

hen it comes to the renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement, Ottawa has kept its cards very close to its chest. Don’t expect that strategy to change any time soon. Canada and the United States have very different rules when it comes to trade negotiations. In the United States, American trade officials are obligated to publicly unveil a list of priorities to Congress 30 days before any trade negotiation can begin. That list was expected to be released as early as July 17. NAFTA renegotiations can start as early as Aug. 16. Expected priority areas

include targeting Canadian dairy, wheat and wine regulations as well as amending the rules of origin definition. The American Constitution gives Congress and the U.S. president joint authority over trade agreements. Maj o r c h a n g e s re q u i re t h e approval of both parties , which has led some trade experts to argue U.S. President Donald Trump would be best to try and tweak the deal by securing several side-deals rather than try and secure congressional approval of a major renegotiation. Washington’s plan for NAFTA is anyone’s guess. One day President Trump is threatening to tear up the agreement. Another day he’s simply planning on tweaking it. It’s a roller-coaster ride that can change on the fly and is unlikely to end anytime soon. Ottawa, it seems, is happy to go along for the ride, so long as it doesn’t have to give a public review afterward. Traditionally, Canada has preferred to negotiate trade agree-

ments out of the public eye. Canada typically tries to keep disagreements and stalemates in the negotiating room rather than battle it out on the front pages. Here at home, Canadian officials are under no obligation to publicly list Ottawa’s priority trade areas. While stakeholders and key sectors are consulted, it’s not uncommon for those conversations to come with an accompanying nondisclosure agreement in order to ensure talks are happening at the negotiation table rather than in the press. Both Washington and Ottawa launched public consultations on the pending NAFTA renegotiation. South of the border, more than 12,000 submissions were collected with most posted publicly on the U.S. Registry. Meanwhile, U.S. trade officials are holding three days of public meetings with industry and individuals about what they want to see discussed in the upcoming talks. Here at home, NAFTA suggestions, wish lists and negotiation

advice must be submitted to Ottawa by July 18. Those submissions are not posted publicly, unless the groups writing them decide to release them themselves. Meanwhile, various parliamentary committees (on both the House and Senate sides) heard from witnesses on the pending NAFTA renegotiation earlier this year. Ottawa’s strategy is simple. Canada is a smaller country about to enter trade negations with a country known to be a bully at the negotiating table. The American system works to Canada’s advantage because the U.S. is forced to outline its key priorities ahead of time. We know what the Americans want before we’re required to tell them what we’re seeking. Ottawa has faced criticism for refusing to negotiate trade deals in public. Transparency around trade deals is essential for ensuring public support and trust going forward. That argument is entirely understandable. But, so too is the fear of

the negotiation going sideways because someone’s nose gets put of joint because of a quote in the paper. Given how sensitive and unpredictable the current White House is, there is no question this is a real risk. Trade negotiations are complicated. Details matter, such as specifics that cannot be properly captured in a 140-character tweet. This doesn’t mean Ottawa can keep everyone in the dark. Key sectors must still be kept relatively well informed of the talks, even if those discussions happen only behind closed doors. Provincial counterparts and relevant bureaucrats must also be kept updated on the talks with Canada’s largest trading partner. A n d , w h e n t h e f i na l d e a l i s reached, Canadians deserve a full explanation, complete with all the details down to the very last tariff line, of what’s been agreed to before Parliament ratifies it.

CARBON TAX

UN council corrupted by activists

Summit tackles carbon pricing

BY STUART SMYTH

Creating higher yields

Twenty-five years ago, South African researcher JN Marais argued that poor weed control was the single biggest contributor to low corn yields for African smallholder farmers. In an assessment of 147 peer-reviewed articles reporting impacts following the adoption of GM crops, Klümper and Qaim (2014) found declines in chemical use of 37 percent, yield increases of 22 percent and farmer profit increases of 68 percent. GM crop yields are 22 percent higher than conventional crops, while organic yields lag conventional yields by one-quarter to onethird. Organic crop yields lag those of GM crops by 36 to 45 percent. Simply put, organic crop yields are 60 percent of a conventional crop yield, while GM crops are 20 percent higher, resulting in GM crop yields being double those of organic agriculture. Removing the use of agricultural chemicals would be devastating for farmers in the developing world and lead to millions of needless deaths because of malnourishment or starvation. It is unfathomable that any organization would encourage the development of this type of situation.

t is astounding that any organization would advocate for increasing food insecurity, yet this is exactly what the United Nations’ Human Rights Council did in its Jan. 24 Report of the Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food. It has done so by calling for the removal of chemicals in the agricultural production of food. “With minimal use of toxic chemicals, it is possible to produce healthier, nutrient-rich food, with higher yields in the longer term,” the report said. Three crucial aspects of the council’s call for the removal of chemicals in food production would affect food security and bears greater scrutiny: Use of toxic chemicals Genetically modified herbicidetolerant crops have been very successful at reducing overall pesticide use, transferring protection to neighboring non-GM crops. Hutchinson et al. in the United States and Huang et al. in China have reported substantial chemical reductions by non-GM crop producers. In the U.S., GM corn benefits were estimated to be US$6 billion in 2010 with $4.3 billion going to non-GM corn adopters because of the area-wide suppression of corn borers. Almost 75 percent of the economic benefits (higher yields and lower input costs) from GM corn in the U.S. Midwest are going to nonGM corn farmers. Similar results have been found in China, where

Insecticide applications across the entire sample region dropped from 5.5 kg per acre to 1.5 kg per acre. Reduced weed and insect pressure allows crop yields to be higher, contributing to food security. Removing chemicals would allow insects and weeds to flourish, reducing yields. Producing healthier food One of the world’s most serious food safety issues is aflatoxin contamination.

Aflatoxin, which is produced by the fungus Aspergillus, is known to cause liver cancer, as well as esophageal/oesophageal cancer. Corn aflatoxins in China’s Qidong region resulted in one out of 10 men dying from liver cancer before the age of 45. B.t. corn is protected from this fungus and therefore contains lower levels of this carcinogen. Using pesticides to control this fungus, along with crop innovations such as GM corn and improved diet, have helped to reduce this rate. Without agricultural chemicals, aflatoxins present in our food could increase again and so could cancer rates.

COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS

Don’t take health for granted no matter your age HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

young farmer bought a new side-by-side at his local dealership. It’s a handy rig for a lot of farm tasks, and the old one needed repairs. Since it was only a few miles to the farm, he decided to just drive the new purchase home. Cruising down a grid road, a back tire fell off. He suffered nasty injuries: broken ribs, punctured lung, lacerations to his head requiring many stitches and torn ligaments in his arm. Of course, it could have been much worse. Even scarier, had it been a different day, his young son might have been with him. Apparently, someone didn’t tighten the lugs on that one wheel.

He hopes to make a full recovery, but there are some lingering issues with his arm and he has chipped teeth that may need long-term work. A much older farmer at a different location is suffering from an intestinal ailment. The strong medication he’s taking isn’t always offering relief. He loves farming, but some days he feels so poorly that it’s tough to go on. He needs to travel to one of several major centres on a regular basis because the medication is administered intravenously. Treatment consultations and second guessing infringe on his days. These are just two people I happened to visit with recently. Everyone has stories like this from friends, relatives and acquaintances. Eventually, the hands of time catches up with us all, but many have their careers and even their lives cut unexpectedly short. We all know that guarantees don’t exist when it comes to health and life, yet we tend to continue on as if we’re immortal. Maybe we’re

expecting science to come up with a cure for death and old age. This attitude is probably more prevalent among farmers than other segments of the population. If you’re lucky enough to have a long farming career, maybe you’ll get to grow 40 or 50 crops where you’re the major or one of the major decision-makers. Many farmers will have far fewer growing seasons, so it’s important to make every one count and have as few regrets as possible. Of course, with dryland farming, you’re not really in charge. Mother Nature has the last word, but you control what you can. When you hear of those struggling with injuries or major health issues, it puts life and farming into perspective. If you don’t have your health, suddenly nothing else matters. Many farm accidents are avoidable. We all need to slow down and exercise more caution. The lives of everyone involved in the farm are at risk. Particularly heartbreaking are the cases where children are

injured or killed. It’s also a good reminder to have your affairs in order. This is one of the greatest gifts you can give your loved ones in the event of your untimely death. Again, we all know this, but we act like we’re invincible. Health issues that creep up provide more time for succession and estate planning than an unexpected demise, but sometimes the extra time is squandered. For those of us blessed with reasonably good health, it’s a reality check when we hear about those less fortunate. Maybe your crop could be better. Maybe it has suffered in the recent heat. Maybe you’re double guessing some marketing decisions. Maybe you’re working through equipment repairs as harvest approaches. But think how much tougher any of that must be for those struggling with their health. Kevin Hursh is an agricultural journalist, consultant and farmer.

EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

MICHAEL RAINE MANAGING EDITOR

o carbon tax or not to carbon tax? That is not the question. Added costs for fuel, electricity, steel, rubber, fertilizer: you name it, producers are always the collectors of new costs. Farmers can’t pass on a cost to their buyers in nearly every case because their competitors are located around the world, and unless every market faces the same expense, the producer must eat it. Carbon taxes are tough ones to stomach for many farmers. They have bought the most fuel-efficient machines they can get and avoid waste when it comes to fertilizer and other inputs. Tillage, one of the great carbon emitters in agriculture, is implemented on less than seven percent of the acreage in the region. So what is a farmer to do? About 180 of them attended the Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan’s Prairie Carbon Summit in Saskatoon last week. It provided a comprehensive look at the research and tools producers have when it comes to making sound decisions about carbon. It did show there are few choices when it comes to mitigation of new taxes. Over time research might be able to supply some improvements, but for the most part farmers now implement best management practices for crop and livestock production. However, the event did provide a key tool they can use: information. Well informed is well armed when it comes to public policy, and when it comes to carbon, the ship may have left the dock but is still in the harbour. Producers need to express to their elected officials, both provincial and federal, that they understand the issue and have taken steps to avoid emissions and are major funders of efficiency research through their commodity check-off dollars. There will be new, global markets for producers that are able to provide auditable products, showing they have met a variety of standards, including carbon efficiency, at least until that gets flooded with material. APAS deserves full credit for producing a high quality event that gave farmers some of the tools they will need to mitigate the costs of carbon, starting with lobbying their elected representatives for ag-appropriate public policy. Look for the complete video recordings of the event on producer.com in the near future and reporter Brian Cross’s stories in this week’s Western Producer. mike.raine@producer.com

Reports of our death have been greatly exaggerated. Independent ag retailers have never been healthier, more vibrant or more valuable to growers than right now. The predictive demise, as stated in your “Agrium expands retail network” article by Agrium chief financial officer Steve Douglas, is as accurate and insightful as those who predicted the end of newspapers by the year 2000. And yet, here we are, writing letters to newspaper editors. Why? Because

LESS WAITING. MORE REAPING. The only way to get faster dry down and easier harvesting.

LETTERS POLICY: Letters should be less than 300 words. Name, address and phone number must be included for verification purposes. Open letters should be avoided; priority will be given to letters written exclusively for The Western Producer. Editors reserve the right to reject or edit any letter for clarity, brevity, legality and good taste. Publication does not imply endorsement by The Producer. relevance survives through adaptation. Today’s independent retailer recognized the changes in agriculture years ago and began an entrenchment evolution focused on harmonizing both customer and community into an indispensably deep value proposition. And in doing so, they have perfected a point of competitiveness that cannot be bought, merged or acquired by multinationals — a personal and meaningful investment in the communities they serve and the customers they work alongside, all the while looking to quash the much-touted advantages of scale and size. Through connection and commonality, independents have shared and overcome the challenges they’ve faced, brought together their intellectual ability to solve problems using common sense and business fundamentals and built alliances so strategic that in today’s market there is no knowledge unavailable to them, no technology beyond their reach, no efficiency of scale they cannot duplicate, no response they cannot accommodate, no connections, be it global or local, they cannot cultivate. Collectively, western Canadian independent ag retailers are a powerhouse of prosperity, billing in excess of $1 billion per annum and edging the market share needle in their direction more and more. But their relevance doesn’t reside on a balance sheet; it resides on having their name on the side of their trucks, signing the front of cheques and the pride that comes from turning risk into reward — just like their customers do.

HOGS

Causes of new PED spread in Manitoba remain a mystery But industry leaders hopeful that lethal hog epidemic is levelling off BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Hog producers, barn managers, employees and veterinarians in southeastern Manitoba have now been battling porcine epidemic diarrhea virus for more than two months. There were signs in early July that the epidemic was peaking, at around 50 confirmed cases, but a new case was discovered July 12. Ho w e v e r, i n d u s t r y l e a d e r s remain hopeful that the epidemic is levelling off. “At least the number of cases has slowed down, which is a good sign,” said Andrew Dickson, general manager of the Manitoba Pork Council. “it means the curve is going the other way, rather than up.” PED virus can affect all pigs and is often fatal to newborns. It’s primarily transmitted through feces. People, equipment, trucks, feed and other vectors can move the disease from site to site. The first case of this year was confirmed May 2. All of the 52 cases of PED have been confined to southeastern Manitoba, but it has affected about 25 percent of all barns in the region east of the Red River and south of the Trans-Canada Highway. “There’s 200 odd barns in the area,” Dickson said. One positive sign is that sites where the disease was first detected in early May have got rid of their infected pigs and could be a month or two away from restocking the barns, Dickson added. Scott Peters, a Manitoba Pork director, doesn’t have PED at his feeder barn near Steinbach, but he’s extremely aware of the threat. “Our feeder barn is right in the middle of it. It’s now a mile away, on three sides (of the feeder barn),” he said at a Keystone Agricultural Producers meeting in Brandon July 13. “I can’t imagine it not coming across our site, shortly.” He said everyone in the industry is doing whatever they can to increase biosecurity, but there is a sense that little more can be done to contain the virus. “I would say the mood is generally frustration,” he said. “If you talk to any of the managers on farm, they’ve done absolutely everything they can do to stick to their biosecurity measures…. They kind of throw their hands up and say, ‘there’s nothing left for me to do.’ ” Industry leaders and veterinarians are investigating the causes of the disease spread. In some cases it’s suspected that employees, moving from barn to barn at one site, may have spread the infection. At other sites it may have been a failure to wash equipment brought onto the farm. However, there are other situations where the source remains a puzzle. “What’s thrown us off, is why is this happening?” Dickson said. “In some cases we think protocols weren’t followed to the T…. In other cases we just can’t figure it out.” PED virus, which first appeared in North America in 2013, was detected in Manitoba in 2014, 2015 and 2016. However, this outbreak is much larger. “We had only 10 cases in three

years in total. This year we’ve suddenly got 50,” Dickson said. “This year, the difference is that it got into some of the bigger systems, and because they’re moving so many animals.” One location of concern is assembly yards in southeastern Manitoba, where animals and hog trucks come and go, Dickson said. “They test regularly,” he said. “They may not be (infected), but there’s no guarantee that somebody hasn’t brought, by accident, an animal that is infected.” It’s possible that another source, besides people, is transmitting the disease to barns.

The Manitoba Pork Council is looking at all possibilities, including feed. U.S. research has demonstrated that animal disease viruses can live in feed for weeks. “There’s testing going on right now of feed storage structures, equipment, feed trucks … and looking at the feed mills themselves,” Dickson said. “We’re not trying to point fingers at anybody, but is this a potential method of spreading it? It may not be.” As of July 13, Manitoba Agriculture said there are 52 confirmed cases of PED in the province this year. robert.arnason@producer.com

ORGANIC REGULATIONS

Some provinces allow non-certified organic sales BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

In its first state of the industry report, Canada’s Organic Trade Association has said that organic regulations across the country are inconsistent and a number of provinces “do not have any regulation at all.” What that means is that locally produced organic food in certain provinces can be promoted and sold locally as “organic,” even though the farmer hasn’t been certified as an organic producer. Those provinces include Saskatchewan, Ontario, Alberta, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador. “If you grow, whatever it is, in Saskatchewan and you’re selling it within Saskatchewan, you don’t have to be certified organic to call it organic,” said Marla Carlson, executive director of Sask Organics, a farmer led organization. So, for instance, organic beef or organic chicken raised in Saskatchewan could be sold at a farmers market in Saskatoon, but there are no provincial regulations to ensure that it is actually organic. The lack of regulation, or gap, applies only to organic food produced and sold within a province. “The minute you sell it past a border, provincial or international border, then you have to have the certification,” Carlson said. The COTA report, released Monday morning in Ottawa, said Cana-

da has a patchwork of organic regulations. Manitoba, British Columbia, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick have adopted national standards for organic production. Those provinces and Quebec do require that organic food produced and sold within a province be certified. “The remainder of the provinces and territories do not have any regulation at all,” the report said. “This leaves significant gaps as provinces and territories without regulations cannot enforce or regulate intra-provincial/territorial organic claims…. The regulatory framework across Canada is a patchwork ranging from non-existent to rigorous.” The report singled out Ontario for a lack of regulations because it is the largest market for organic food in Canada. Canada does have national standards for organic production, but the federal rules have limitations. “ The CFIA (Canadian Food Inspection Agency) only has jurisdiction for products that are sold inter-provincially and internationally. It has no jurisdiction over intra-provincial sales,” said Stuart McMillan, an organic inspector from Manitoba. “So for products sold that are only produced and only sold, say within Ontario … there’s no requirement for you if you’re sitting at the farmers market (or) selling at your farmgate, to actually be federally certified, which is pretty freaking

bizarre…. This is a ridiculous gap.” T h e Ma n i t o b a g ov e r n m e nt addressed the regulatory gap in 2013 when it passed the Organic Agricultural Products Act and adopted federal rules. “It said, ‘hey, within the province of Manitoba … if you use the O word, get certified,’ ” McMillan said. “If you want to call yourself local, sustainable or whatever, go do it, but if you’re going to claim organic, get certified to the federal standard.” Only a few farmers in Canada may be taking advantage of the regulatory gap, but without regulations or enforcement, in certain provinces it’s impossible to know how frequently it happens at farmers markets or in direct farmgate sales to consumers. McMillan said the rules are different if a farmer sells organic products to a retailer or third party. “If there is any reasonable likely chance that product moves outside Ontario, then yes, it must be certified,” he said. The COTA report covered much more than inconsistent regulations. The document also said governments should invest more in organic data collection because the industry needs reliable data to make informed decisions.

Sask. cattle deaths blamed on bad water Producers urged to test water supplies for sulfate levels in southwestern Sask. BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Cattle producers are urged to test livestock water sources after tests confirmed that exceedingly high sulfate and total dissolved solid levels led to the deaths of more than 200 head in a pasture near Shamrock, Sask. Reports received last week indicate water quality throughout southwestern Saskatchewan is worse than many suspected, said chief veterinary officer Dr. Betty Althouse. Sulfate concentrations in the crown lease operated by Shamrock Grazing Ltd. were more than three times lethal limits at more than 24,000 milligrams per litre. Total dissolved solid levels were 33,400 mg per litre, which is nearly seven times the level at which lactating or pregnant cows should not drink it and nearly five times the level at which the water should not be used at all. The animals belonging to eight patrons were found dead July 7 in one field of the pasture. Several others have since died and others remain under veterinary care. All surviving animals, about 240 cowcalf pairs, were moved to another field with a good water source. University of Saskatchewan veterinary toxicologist Dr. Barry Blakley said the water was probably poor quality before the cattle were turned into the field a week before their deaths. “The water looked OK from a distance, but it actually was highly alkaline and (pasture staff ) didn’t realize this,” he said. The cattle would have been fine for a few days, but the problem got worse as the temperature increased and more evaporation occurred. They became thirstier and drank more water. Their bodies would have shut down. “It does tend to be a fairly sudden catastrophic event,” said Althouse. “It’s challenging to pick up or prevent.” Blakley analyzed tissue samples from the cattle and found them to be full of sodium. “The reality is they died from too

much salt in the water,” he said. The water was so salty that blue green algae, another concern in these weather conditions, wouldn’t even grow in it. Poisonous plants weren’t growing around the dugout either. “If they’re going to use (this field), they need to provide supplemental water, which is not cheap,” he said. Ranchers have used the former federal pasture for decades. In previous years more rainfall likely diluted the poor water enough that the animals survived but probably didn’t perform at their peak, he said. “This year, with hot temperatures and drinking more, the scenario was set up to be a disaster,” Blakley said. Althouse said short-term measures to provide good water include water tanks and troughs. In the longer term, provincial programs are available to install pipelines. Glenn Straub, president of Shamrock Grazing Ltd., said patrons were relying on dugouts after some problems with an existing well and water line. Testing of all the dugouts in the pasture was to be completed July 14. Animal Protection Services of Saskatchewan continues its investigation into the situation. However, Straub said he doesn’t believe staff was at fault. The pasture employs a manager and several pasture riders. “I understand they have to do their investigation,” he said. “I personally don’t believe there was negligence.” Althouse said all livestock producers should monitor their herds and water sources more often than usual when the weather is so hot. Blakley added that water analysis will fluctuate by the season. In spring, it may be better because of runoff, and in fall it may be worse because of evaporation. There could be more deaths attributed to water quality, he said. “Probably the message is when you have some die, don’t just bury them on the field,” he said. “You should figure out why they died in case it’s something really nasty like anthrax.” karen.briere@producer.com

Sonko cited young people’s flexibility, higher level of education and social media skills and connection to global concerns as assets for change. He explained why he planned to post these messages on Facebook for his 500 followers to see. “To follow us, to get better conditions for young people to stay in their communities and invest in agriculture and related activities rather than dying in the Mediterranean,” said Sonko. The way forward for Gambia is

through investing in entrepreneurship, not charity, he said. In Finland, an income generating 4-H Enterprise program was created in the 1920s because of a need for food during harsh economic times. Paivi Haapasalo of the Finnish 4-H Federation said it provided skills in animal husbandry, logging and forestry. “Entrepreneurship is the best way for educating young people because it includes everything,” she said, citing planning, implementing and marketing projects in addition to learning social skills such as public speaking. “Earning through business is a good motivator,” Haapasalo said. Finland has shared its programming with countries such as Namibia and Tanzania, she said, citing the example of a former 4-Her there who now operates a fruit, vegetable and beekeeping operation that provides seasonal employment for young people. She advised starting such programs “the earlier the better.” Kevin Mariachi is the chief executive officer of the Fabretto Foundation, which helps children in Nicaragua, where there is a great need for technical skills training. The introduction of 4-H is one way to increase opportunities for young people in a country where half of Nicaraguan children will drop out by Grade 6.

He is hoping that incorporating sciences and mathematics and learning by doing will stem that tide and improve their fortunes. Marlon Lopez, a 4-H alumni who mentors and tutors 4-Hers in Managua, agreed. “That’s most important because they practice what they learn,” he said.

The hope is through such programming that they will find solutions to problems they encounter, he said. Kirk Astroth of the University of Arizona’s Norton School of Family and Consumer Sciences said the world is growing while interest among young people in farming declines. Learning to create small-scale sustainable agriculture at the local level is a good start, he said, citing examples in Mexico where 4-H is getting established. He said 4-H is a highly adaptable

OTTAWA — It’s hoped that a switch to virtual meetings for 4-H Canada’s annual conference in 2018 will cut costs and improve participation. 4-H Canada and the Canadian 4-H Foundation held abbreviated meetings in advance of a four-day Global 4-H Network Summit in Ottawa. Stan Figley, board member with both 4-H Canada and 4-H Saskatchewan, said the change will mean shuffling events normally held at the annual conference. That includes recognizing innovators such as 4-H Canada’s leader of the year, Carolyn Boddy of Alberta, whose busking project is among the unique programs offered by 4-H. Those are traditions important to 4-H along with grassroots participation, he said. “It’s a good decision that makes better use of resources and was an inevitable change,” Figley said. Valerie Pearson, a former 4-H Canada president, said delegate numbers were down at meetings because of the expense. The switch will allow delegates to participate with just a few taps of the keyboard from wherever they are. That change, as well as more money going to the provincial 4-H organizations, were among positive announcements for the group. 4-H Canada grew last year by 600 to about 25,000 members and 7,600 volunteer leaders. Shannon Benner, the rural youth group’s chief executive officer, said the new members came from across Canada. “We look at that as a springboard,” she said. “The numbers are going up and that’s a great sign.” Benner said 4-H’s focus on healthy living will be especially important in communities where access to resources is often limited. “We don’t have set program plans, but we recognize there is a critical need today,” she said. It will also continue its emphasis on sustainable agriculture and food security and enlarge its national science fair and service learning programs. “Coming out of the summit, we want to make sure youth have a voice and can engage in sustainable development goal conversations and tying it right back to the local community,” she said. The summit was first held for adult leaders in South Korea three years ago. Pearson said Canadian organizers wanted the Canadian version to also include members. She noted the 120 Canadian 4-H members in attendance, something she hopes will continue when it moves to Tanzania in 2020.

he lights, the sounds, the thrill of the rides and the enticing food lure people year after year to head back to the fair. I asked my circle of friends and family what they loved most about

these events that spring up across the country every summer. Aside from getting dizzy on rides, watching fireworks, concerts and game tables, the most common answer was the food. And with a certain gourmet flare, the food offerings at the fair are usually meant to be eaten as you wander through the midway. Here are a few recipe ideas to help bring the fair to your kitchen or backyard this summer. Jodie Mirosovsky is a home economist from Rosetown, Sask., and a member of Team Resources.

SPICY POTATO FRIES 4 large russet potatoes 1/4 c. olive or vegetable oil 60 mL 2 tsp. paprika 10 mL 2 tsp. chili powder 10 mL 1 tsp. seasoning salt 5 mL Cut potatoes into fries either peeled or with skin. In a small mix-

ing bowl, combine the oil and spices. Coat with the oil mixture and place on a baking pan and cook at 400 F (200 C) for 20 to 25 minutes. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and additional seasoning salt when complete. Serve with condiments of your choice: ranch dressing, ketchup or vinegar. Serves four.

FAIR FOOD AT HOME GRILLED CORN ON THE COB

Heat the grill to medium. Pull the outer husks down the ear to the base but do not remove. Simply strip away the silk from each cob and fold the husks back onto the corn. Place into a large bowl of cold

water with one tablespoon (15 mL) of salt for 10 minutes. Remove from bowl and grill the corn on a piece of foil or on a grilling pan. Close the lid and roast for 15 to 20 minutes, turning every five minutes, or until ker-

nels are tender. Remove the husks and serve with seasonings and butter. For additional juiciness, wrap each cob in a layer of foil along with the husk for grilling. Source: www.foodnetwork.com.

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

Brown meat with onions until no longer pink. Drain off the liquid and then add the taco seasoning mix and water; blend. Bring to boil and simmer for about three minutes. Remove from the heat. Combine lettuce and tomatoes in a large serving bowl. When ready to serve, top with the meat, cheese and chips. Top with dressing. Serves four. Source: www.kraftcanada.com. Note: The meat may be served warm or cool on the above main course salads.

medium heat, stirring constantly. Dip and swirl the apples into the warm sauce and place on the waxed paper to set. Refrigerate for one hour. Source: www.kraftcanada.com. For simplicity, you can use the sauce as a dip for apple slices. If time is short, try Litehouse Old Fashioned Caramel Dip, available at grocery stores in the fruit section.

CHILI CHEESE DOGS 2 lb. ground beef 1 kg 2 celery ribs, chopped 1 small green pepper, finely chopped 1 small onion, chopped 1 can condensed tomato 284 mL soup, undiluted 1/4 c. packed brown sugar 60 mL 1/4 c. ketchup 60 mL 1 tbsp. vinegar 15 mL 1 tbsp. mustard 15 mL

1 1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce 7 mL 1 tsp. pepper 5 mL 1/2 tsp. salt 2 mL 1/4 tsp. garlic powder 1 mL or crushed clove 16 hot dogs 16 hot dog buns, split In a large skillet, cook the beef, celery, green pepper and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer

pink. Drain excess liquid and add in the soup, brown sugar, ketchup, vinegar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, pepper, salt and garlic and heat. Grill hot dogs and place in buns. Top each with some beef mix and shredded cheese and/or grilled onions if desired. Yield: 16 servings. Save the additional chili to use in sloppy joes or freeze. Source: Taste of Home Magazine

In a medium sauce pan, make a simple syrup by combining sugar and one cup of water. Bring to a boil, stirring, until sugar has dissolved. Cool to room temperature, then cover and chill in the refrigerator until ready to use. To prepare the lemonade, allow lemons to sit out and warm, then roll each lemon on the counter to get more juice out. Cut lemons in half and squeeze, removing the seeds but leaving the pulp. In a large pitcher, combine the syrup, lemon juice and the remaining seven cups of water. Add ice and enjoy this cool refreshing drink. Note: Add less syrup if you want a more sour flavour.

In a large mixing bowl, put the yeast in the warm water. When yeast is dissolved, add mashed potatoes, milk, oil, sugar, egg and salt. Combine and then add 3 1/2 cups of flour, adding more until a soft dough forms. Place dough in a large greased bowl, turning once so that all the dough has been greased.

ing champion, along with his brother, Jim. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was raised on a ranch about 30 miles north of Maple Creek and my dad always had dogs when I was a kid. So I was always comfortable around them and liked having them around.â&#x20AC;? The Montgomerysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; involvement with stock dogs began in earnest in the winter of 1986. At the time, Daleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s days as a competitive team roper on the rodeo circuit were beginning to wind down. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when a friend gave him a young, untrained border collie named Huck. Huck was an intelligent and powerful dog with exceptional herding instincts and outstanding presence and control around livestock. Relying on his previous dog handling experience and the only book he could find on stock dog training, Montgomery taught Huck the basics of herding and Huck steered Montgomeryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life in a new direction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was a real eye opener,â&#x20AC;? Dale said about Huck. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the time, I really didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know a whole lot about training dogs. In fact, when I got Huck, I had no idea how good he was. In the end, I think he taught me as much as I taught him.â&#x20AC;? Huck was the first dog and arguably the best in what has turned into a long and successful career for Dale as a stock dog trainer. Within two years of arriving at the Montgomery farm, Huck was named the best cattle dog in Alberta. Since then, Dale has gone on to win dozens of stock dog trials across Canada, including seven championship titles at the Calgary Stampede, and numerous others at Edmonton, Regina and Winnipeg. Over the past three decades, dogs that were bred or trained at Montgomeryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Border Collies have been delivered to hundreds of ranches and farms across Canada and throughout the United States. Montgomery-raised border collies have even been shipped to homes in Europe and Asia. And behind the scenes, Montgomeryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dogs were involved in the making of several movies and TV mini-series. The most notable was the Oscarwinning movie Brokeback Mountain, which was filmed in Alberta and named motion picture of the year in 2006. On the screen, an Australian blue heeler is shown herding sheep in the high alpine pastures of Brokeback Mountain. But in reality, it was Montgomery and his border collies that were moving livestock for the cameras. According to Dawn, the past 30 years have involved lots of hard work and travel. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve also been

Dale Montgomery says hello to his retired stock dog Ben, 12, during a break around the dining room table. Over the past 30 years, Montgomery has trained lots of â&#x20AC;&#x153;goodâ&#x20AC;? dogs, but only a handful of â&#x20AC;&#x153;great ones,â&#x20AC;? including his first stock trial champion, Huck. | BRIAN CROSS PHOTO

memorable, rewarding and at times, emotional. Saying goodbye to a dog that trains enthusiastically, works tirelessly and earns a spot of respect and admiration on the Montgomery ranch can be difficult. But the satisfaction of training dogs and pursuing an enjoyable career outweighs all of the regrets, sacrifices and heartaches. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a real blessing to be able to do something that you love,â&#x20AC;? said Dawn, who met Dale in the 1970s, when he was in the rodeo and she was working at Claypoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, a western apparel and saddlery shop in Saskatoon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some people spend their whole life making lots of money but they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really enjoy what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love the dogs. And of course, they got us into sheep as well. We bought a handful of sheep to train dogs. We went from half a dozen sheep to â&#x20AC;Ś well, I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got nearly 300 here now.â&#x20AC;? Dale continues to compete in stock dog trials across Western Canada and presently has 16 border collies on the farm, many of which are being started or custom trained for clients. He still spends the bulk of each working day training his dogs, but he admits that the urge to sit back and relax is getting a bit stronger. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Twenty years ago, every spare minute I had Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be out working a dog because I loved doing it,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now, if I have a spare minute, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m more interested in sitting in my chair with my feet up.â&#x20AC;? Through their dogs, Dale and Dawn have developed relationships with hundreds of friends and

acquaintances, including ranchers, farmers, stock handlers and dog trainers across North America. Dale said that his most notable career accomplishment was his contribution to the understanding and adoption of stress free stock handling practices. With the help of a well-trained stock dog, he demonstrated how livestock can be moved and managed in a calm and controlled environment, with little or no stress. In part, it was this contribution that earned him an induction â&#x20AC;&#x201D; along with Huck â&#x20AC;&#x201D; into the Saskatchewan Agricultural Hall of Fame in 2014. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you have a good dog thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s well-trained, you can move cattle a lot gentler and easier and calmer,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You want a dog that is sensible and calm but has guts and is able to move cattle without biting, something we call power. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over the years, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had lots of good stock dogs, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve only had a couple that I would call great dogs.â&#x20AC;?

CLIMATE CHANGE

Decades-long droughts possible on Prairies Book’s authors hope farmers will take measures to minimize risk by understanding their vulnerability to drought BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A 50-year-long drought may not be as crazy as some people think. According to a new book, it actually happened on the Prairies and not that long ago. And that’s not all. The book, titled Vulnerability and Adaptation to Drought, suggests that droughts will become longer and more severe on the Prairies in the future. “We dodged the bullet in the 20th century compared to previo u s c e n t u r i e s,” s a i d Ja m e s Warren, professor at the University of Regina. “There was never a century where we missed one. The 20th century out of the last 10 has been one of the moistest. Most of them were much worse. Even in the 19th century, there were 20-year droughts,” said Warren, a specialist in drought and water management issues. He said that concept fits with the historical record when explorer/ surveyor John Palliser came to the Canadian Prairies in the 1860s and declared southwestern Saskatchewan and southern Alberta

as too arid for farming. “That was during one of these extended periods of drought.” However, many people don’t look further back than the famous 1930s decade-long drought. “People talk about the 1930s as the be-all and end-all of droughts. The ’30s was a walk in the park to some of the droughts in the previous centuries,” said Warren. “We’re talking about multidecadal. That’s pretty ominous. That’s something we have to get our heads around.” Warren is one of three co-editors who produced the book, which has been short-listed for the science award in the High Plains Book Awards. It is the result of a decade of interdisciplinary efforts conducted by 24 researchers from Canada and Latin America. The effort aims to look at international droughts and related climate change issues in attempts to understand rural people’s vulnerabilities to climate in arid areas. “We all jointly operated under the assumption that to understand people’s resilience — understand their vulnerability to drought and how they can go

about increasing their resilience and minimizing risk — it’s important to understand drought and drought processes from both the scientific and the social science perspective,” said Warren.

We can anticipate more intense storms, more intense rainfall events and probably more intense droughts with possibly longer duration than we’ve experienced in the past 100 years. JAMES WARREN UNIVERSITY OF REGINA

The book looks at past droughts on the Canadian Prairies from a paleo-climate perspective. It explores governance systems for prairie drought, water management and strategic planning by offering insight into how communities can reduce susceptibility to drought. One chapter focuses on the vulnerability of an agricultural system in Chile and offers potential lessons that could apply to Cana-

dian agriculture. Outside of the differences, many similarities exist at the regional scale between the Canadian Prairies and the Maule region in Chile. The book also addresses the d a m a g i n g e f f e c t s o f re c e n t droughts on the Prairies since the famous one in the 1930s. One chapter that Warren wrote was on the changes in farm management and tillage practices during the last 100 years. He said it resulted in the minimum tillage revolution in the 1990s, which minimized the amount of soil disturbance that occurs in relation to annual field crop agriculture. “One of the big advantages of this technology is reduction in soil erosion you get under drought conditions. “You simply have more trash on the surface to hold light soils down in the event of hot, dry weather with lots of wind like we had this spring. I would think down in the Regina vicinity we’d have had some soil drift. We would have had a heck of a lot more if people were using the technologies from 50 years ago,” he said. However, in spite of the mini-

mum till technology, the drought in 2001-02 was still economically damaging and contributed to a $5.8 billion decline in Canada’s gross domestic product. “But we probably saved a lot more soil than we did, for example, in the droughts of the later 1980s when there was less min till,” he said. If future droughts last for more than three years and result in total crop failure, Warren said institutional supports like crop insurance and agri-stability programs would be compromised. “We’d have to make big changes. But we’re highly resilient and we’ve got a really good adaptive capacity — probably as high as anywhere in the world because the state of human capital here is so high.” Another of the book’s articles presents a long-term view of climate conditions on the Prairies in the context of climate change. “We can anticipate more intense storms, more intense rainfall events and probably more intense droughts with possibly longer duration than we’ve experienced in the past 100 years,” he said. william.dekay@producer.com

ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE

Danish firm sees shift to probiotics from antibiotics for livestock COPENHAGEN, Denmark (Reuters) — Food ingredients maker Chr. Hansen is seeing strong demand for probiotics for animals as farmers and restaurant chains come under growing pressure to use fewer antibiotics in the food chain, its chief executive officer said. Scientists warn that the routine use of antibiotics in animals is contributing to the rise of antibioticresistant “superbugs,” posing a

major threat to human health. “There is a strong underlying driver from consumers and investors that wants the (meat) industry to reduce antibiotics so there is a long-term underlying very positive trend,” Chr. Hansen CEO Cees de Jong said. Chr. Hansen, whose main business produces enzymes and bacteria for the dairy, wine and meat industries, is also one of the world’s

top three producers of probiotics for animals, alongside DuPont and Lallemand. Probiotics are live bacteria and yeasts that can help improve health. One investor initiative is the Farm Animal Investment Risk & Return Initiative, which is campaigning to convince food companies to reduce the use of antibiotics in the meat they serve. De Jong said Chr. Hansen would

soon launch a new product in the U.S. poultr y market aimed at replacing antibiotics “and still get a very healthy population of birds that grow very well or even better from the same amount of feed.” Animal health products, including probiotics for animals, were the key driver of a 14 percent rise in revenue growth, excluding acquisitions, in the company’s health and nutrition division in the third

quarter, de Jong said. “We are in the lucky situation that our technology basis is very much aligned with today’s mega-trends where consumers become more and more informed and they want natural solutions.” Chr. Hansen bought U.S. firm Nutrition Physiology Company last year to expand into probiotics that can be used as alternatives to antibiotics in meat.

BEER

Brewery competes on unique flavour TOP: Kirk Zembal, one of the owners of Blindman Brewery at Lacombe, Alta., poses beside newly imported oak casks used to age wine. The company imported them from France to mature their craft beer.

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

L ACOMBE, Alta. — With the stunning rise in craft breweries, some companies have unique approaches to stay ahead of the competition. For Blindman Brewery at Lacombe, the idea of crowd funding helped the operation get enough money to import foeders from France. A foeder, pronounced food-er, is a large oak vat used to age wine. More craft brewers are turning to oak casks to mature beer while producing unique flavours. Tw o 3,000 litre oak foeders recently arrived in Lacombe and will be used along with casks formerly used to age bourbon or wine. “There is a symbiotic relationship between the wine makers and spirit makers,” said Kirk Zembal, one of the co-owners of the company that formed in 2015. Blindman Brewery has 11 beers on tap and head brewer Adam Campbell is working on more. The company’s specialty is sour beer produced with specific varieties of hops. They buy malt from different Alberta sources such as Rahr Malt of Alix and craft maltsters such as Red Shed Malting of Penhold and Hogarth Malt near Olds. Hops may come from Chilliwack Hop Farms as well as other sources. While many of the new breweries are not big enough to contract with individual farmers to grow special grain varieties, more are looking for products beyond barley. Blindman has made beer from malted and unmalted wheat, oats and barley to create different flavours and types. They also plan to research other grains beyond barley or wheat. “Alberta grows the best barley in the world and the craft beer world wants to put that story out

there,” he said. Hop varieties are selected to add flavour. “The older school in craft beer was to go bitter, bitter-bitter but

thanks to these new hop varieties, we can produce all sorts of flavours by cutting back the bitterness and amping up the dry hops,” he said. More people, including some

farms in Alberta are trying to grow hops but it takes time to produce mature plants and get adequate volume. “A lot of the growth of craft brew-

ers is due to hop grower because they started to breed and grow aroma filled hops,” he said. Blindman typically uses pelleted hops because they are too far away for the fresh variety. “When hops are ready, they are ready and we need them within 24 hours, otherwise we are shipping a bag of compost,” Zembal said. “When hops are fresh, there is a lot of water in them. You want the oils in the hops rather than the water,” he said. Hops are added at different points in the process to change the flavour. This company also gets lacto bacillus, a friendly bacteria from local yogurt maker Bleswold to create a sour beer. Alcohol content ranges from four to 11 percent. “As long as we are under 11.9 percent, it is still all beer,” he said. Blindman has a 15 barrel per day system. Each barrel is 17,300 litres. In addition to on-site sales, Blindman Brewery sells beer to restaurants and bars, as well as 200 liquor stores in the province. Zembal has no concern about oversaturation of the craft beer market, although no one is sure of the size of the industry at this time. The list is growing but right now Alberta has about 60 brewing licenses compared to 18 in 2014, according to the Alberta Small Brewers Association. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

RURAL LIFE

Cult TV show renews interest in small town life BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

As they drove through rural Alberta to a wedding in Wainwright, Lindsay Stamhuis and Aidan Hailes couldn’t help seeing and feeling reflections of Twin Peaks. It helped that the two mega-fans were playing the soundtrack of the 1990-91 television series as they drove through Irma, Viking and into Wainwright, and buzzing with anticipation of the third season, which was beginning the next evening. “There’s a diner and a gas station and maybe a cash-and-carry,” said Stamhuis about how the TV show has made rural Western Canada seem more exotic and less mundane than before they had seen the show. Twin Peaks was and is set in northeastern Washington state, “five miles south of the Canadian border, and twelve miles west of the state line,” but its evocation of small town realities feels true to much of the western Canadian and Alberta

foothills small town reality. “It’s a universal feeling,” said Stamhuis, who co-hosts the Bickering Peaks podcast along with fellow Edmontonian Hailes. The podcast explores the series to a great depth with more than 50 one-hour episodes going through the original two series and new ones coming out after each new season three episode is released. “I think in any small town you’ll find those elements, (although) maybe not the supernatural portals to The Black Lodge.” Twin Peaks has carried along a massive cult-like fan base for the 25 years since it was cancelled. At the time it was a revolutionary television series, the first to demonstrate that high quality, sophisticated and challenging drama could work on network television. Many credit Twin Peaks with giving birth to the “golden age of television,” which is still taking place. While the show is officially set in the Rockies, many have noted that it doesn’t really feel that way. In

many ways it feels like the foothills or boreal forest, and that probably reflects the origin of director David Lynch in Missoula, Montana, which is due south of Pincher Creek, Alta., and arguably more similar to Alberta than the Pacific Northwest or any other part of the United States. “For a show called Twin Peaks, the mountains play a very small role,” said Hailes. “Boreal forest. It’s closer to that,” said Stamhuis, who also said the show’s general mood of isolation and exposure inside a beautiful but menacing environment fits the western Canadian flatlands too. “Anybody who’s driven down a highway through wheat fields (in summer) or grasslands in winter, there’s just an isolation or a loneliness,” said Stamhuis. “Even though (in the show) it’s mountains and pine trees, there’s still a sense that this is a lonely landscape.” The podcasters have found that evocative environment engaging,

ever since they belatedly got sucked into Twin Peaks fandom in 2010.

The University of Lethbridge will use $1.1 million in federal funds to see if biochar in beef cattle diets will reduce the amount of methane gas expelled. Biochar is charcoal produced from plant matter. The bulk of recent research on the material has focused on use in soil as a way to sequester carbon, but there are also studies on its benefits in cattle and poultry feed. The federal agriculture department announced the funding July 11 as part of $27 million spent Canada-wide on 20 new research projects involving agricultural greenhouse gases. According to a government news release, “the program supports research into greenhouse

gas mitigation practices and technologies that can be adopted on the farm.” Federal Agriculture Minister Lawrence MacAulay said the investments are part of the government’s efforts to address climate change. Erasmus Okine, vice-president of research at the U of L, welcomed the funds. “Reducing the amount of greenhouse gases produced by the cattle sector is important both environmentally, economically and helps build public trust. Producers want to operate in a sustainable fashion and our study results will help them do that,” he said in the release. YOUNG PRODUCERS MAKE SALES AT SASKATOON EVENT LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

A cattle sale average of $2.76 per pound was registered earlier this month at the Prairieland Junior Ag Showcase held at Prairieland Park in Saskatoon. Riley Bohrson of the Hanley 4-H Beef Club won the grand champion title with a steer that sold for $3.75 per lb. to Bohrson Livestock Marketing. Jenna Schmidt of the Carlton Trail 4-H Beef Club got $4.50 per lb. for her reserve grand champion steer, purchased by Blair’s Group of Companies. In the sheep sale that was also part of the event, Caybri Letkeman of the Crown Hill 4-H Club sold the champion market animal for $1,075 to R & F Livestock of Warman, Sask. The reserve champion market animal, shown by Zayne Letkeman, also of the Crown Hill club, sold for $700 to Saskatoon Agri Auto Parts. More than 250 participants took part in the showcase, which is designed to be interactive and educational for 4-H members while strengthening their social skills and displaying their achievements. Light horse, dairy and arts clubs were also part of the event, along with the beef and sheep events that culminated in a sale July 10. FOOD COMPANIES GET FEDERAL FUNDING CALGARY BUREAU

The Western Producer takes a weekly look at some of the stories that made headlines in issues of the paper from 75, 50, 25 and 10 years ago.

75 YEARS AGO: JULY 16, 1942 Agriculture Minister James Gardiner said the dominion government was attempting to organize surplus labour in towns and villages for farm work, but he warned that it would be difficult to get much additional labour for farms during the summer. Practically all men were now employed either in the armed forces, manufacturing or on farms, he added. R.M. Pugh, secretary of the Canadian Beekeepers Council, emphatically denied persistent rumours that brewers had caused a honey shortage by buying up Saskatchewan product. “As far as I have information, not one pound of Western Canada honey has been used for brewing, distilling or wine making purpos-

es during the past year,” he said.

was pointed out that the contest would violate the organization’s campaign to encourage farmers not to buy new machinery, including new cars. President Roy Atkinson suggested replacing the car with a cash prize, but tickets had already been sold for the car. The buying boycott was intended to highlight concerns over the growing gap between input prices and commodity prices.

50 YEARS AGO: JULY 20, 1967 The first ship to leave Britain for the port of Churchill was expected to arrive July 27 carrying automobiles, steel pilings and sodium nitrate. There would be plenty of grain for it to bring back, considering that 80 to 85 grain cars were arriving daily, according to the National Harbours Board. Grain sales through the northern port had already reached 20.5 million bushels for the year.

1987-88. China was the biggest buyer, taking almost 25 percent of prairie exports. Prairie Pools Inc. reiterated its opposition to paying the $720 million grain transportation subsidy to farmers instead of the railways. “If they (the federal government) start meddling with method of payment, likely we won’t be co-operating in trying to find a way to pay it out,” said Saskatchewan Wheat Pool president Garf Stevenson.

25 YEARS AGO: JULY 16, 1992 10 YEARS AGO: JULY 19, 2007 Grain exports for 1991-92 were expected to reach a record 30.8 million tonnes, surpassing the old record of 30.4 million tonnes set in

However, Farm Credit Canada vice-president Michael Hoffort said the increase would have little impact on farm debt servicing charges. bruce.dyck@producer.com

FUTURE FARM EXPO

Clubroot spreads as new pathogens develop Increasingly harmful strains have been identified in Western Canada and so planting canola resistant varieties is advised BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

OLDS, Alta. — Keeping ahead of clubroot may seem impossible, considering that 200,000 spores can piggyback on a gram of dust. The disease was first detected in four fields in 2003 and the latest report shows more than 2,440 infected fields in central Alberta. Rather than planting canola in the same field every year, farmers

need to practice longer rotations and use resistant varieties, University of Alberta pathologist Homa Askarian said during Canolapalooza at Lacombe. “It can live in the soil for 20 years, but the half life is six years,” she said. Soil-applied fungicides are not considered effective in a disease that moves quickly to form foulsmelling galls on the roots. Most Alberta counties survey for

it and are reporting that the disease moves about 20 to 30 kilometres per year. “The spread is a lot faster than we anticipated based on a soil-borne disease where we would typically think of it being a very patchy distribution and slow moving,” University of Alberta plant pathologist Steve Strelkov said during the Future Farm Expo, which was held in Olds, Alta., July 6-8. Rotations, sanitation and biological controls may be considered, but resistant varieties, which have been available since 2009, are the best bet, he said. However, resistance to the disease does not last indefinitely. “Clubroot is an established problem for canola in Western Canada, and resistance is showing up in an increasing number of fields each year,” he said. It is not a popular recommendation among growers, but experts

suggest lengthening rotations because clubroot can adapt and break the resistance after two exposures to the disease. “Repeated exposure to a pathogen population to a resistant source will lead to losses in effectiveness of that resistance,” he said. In 2013, patches of severe clubroot were found in fields planted with resistant varieties of canola. Last year, 64 fields were detected. The result is increasingly virulent pathogenic strains in these fields mixed in with the better-known types. “The resistance is still effective, it is just that the pathogen has changed,” Strelkov said. Scientists are developing a classification system that includes the 19 known strains. Fourteen new pathogens were identified for Western Canada in 2013-16. “Since 2014 the most common

pathotype we found is a variant of Pathotype 3 called Pathotype 3A,” he said. Pathotype 3 accounts for 70 to 90 percent of all types found. One of the newest strains is Pathotype 5 and Pathotype 5X. Growers with clean fields could still benefit from planting resistant varieties, especially if the farm is close to areas of infection. “Growing a resistant variety may provide some form of protection,” he said. “It is not exerting any resistance pressure to the pathogen that is still not present, but for some reason if the pathogen gets introduced, it is very unlikely it could be established because the first host it meets will be a resistant host.” The most recent clubroot map for Alberta may be found at bit.ly/ 2vd0oza. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

EXPORT REJECTIONS

China regulation requirements cause Canadian flax to pile up

Asian millers caught by wheat rally

BY JADE MARKUS COMMODITY NEWS SERVICE CANADA

Stalled demand from a key international buyer has caused a buildup of flax inventories in Canada, with more crops on the way. Demand on the ingredient side of the flax market has been steady, said Mike Popowich of TA Foods in Yorkton, Sask. “But we’ve experienced a bit of a slow-down on the exports. There are ongoing issues with processed flax in China.” The Flax Council of Canada and government officials are working to resolve the issue, he added. China began rejecting flax shipments last July because of a lack of import standards, an online release from the Flax Council of Canada said. The restriction still applies to food grade flax. China has never had a specifica-

tion for processed flax for human consumption, “but they started to make something about it over the last year, which has kind of hindered our exports there on cleaned or milled flax,” Popowich said. That has created a volume buildup in the North American market, though the market has held mostly steady, despite the stockpiles. “Prices are fairly stable, they’ve pretty much flat-lined, since harvest,” Popowich said. “The supply is still out there right now.” As for up-and-coming crops, most look generally OK, though market watchers are paying attention to areas of concern in southern and southwestern Saskatchewan. “That’s led to some speculation, and some farmers holding onto their flax,” Popowich said. Delivered elevator flax prices in Western Canada are sitting $11 to $12 per bushel, according to data from Prairie Ag Hotwire.

Millers who didn’t lock in prices will have to pay up to 34 percent more SINGAPORE (Reuters) — Some Asian flour millers have been caught out by last month’s nearly 30 percent rally in global wheat prices after earlier booking cargoes with prices due to be fixed at a later date, traders said. Benchmark Chicago Board of Trade wheat futures jumped 23 percent in June and high-protein spring wheat climbed 34 percent, driven up as severe drought reduced production in some key U. S. a n d Ca na d i a n g row i n g regions. “Some millers had booked cargoes for August-September shipment, but had not set prices,” said a Singapore trader. “They will have to pay higher prices (now).” However, would-be grain buyers have been shying away from the market because they think some price gains are unsustainable. “We expect prices of spring wheat

to remain high. Buyers will have to pay the premium,” another Singapore-based grains trader said earlier this month. “But as far as CBOT is concerned, I think it is overdone. I will be ready to short this market next week.” On the physical front, Canadian Western Red Spring (CWRS) wheat was recently quoted around $350 a tonne, including cost and freight, in Asia, up from around $260 a tonne about a month ago. U.S. Dark Northern Spring (DNS) wheat with 13.5 percent protein is being offered at $370 a tonne, cost and freight, up from $280 a tonne sold in early June. The rally in U.S. wheat futures has lifted prices of Australian wheat. Australian Premium White (APW) wheat is being quoted at $273 a tonne, cost and freight, compared with $243 a tonne early

last month. Australian Standard White (ASW) wheat was at $263, up from $233 a tonne. Drought conditions in the northern U.S. Plains worsened at the end of June and there are forecasts for more hot and dry weather that could crimp the harvest. As the world struggles with a g l u t o f g ra i n t h a t h a s f i l l e d inventories to record levels, the shortage of high-quality spring wheat has taken markets by surprise. High-protein wheat is blended with other varieties of the grain to make bread flour. “We are concerned about high wheat prices, but there is no panic yet as most mills have some supplies,” said one procurement manager at a large milling company in Asia. “Buyers will start importing once the market settles down.”

BOUNTY CREEK FARMS

From zero to 5,400 acres in five years This Saskatchewan oilfield worker grabbed an opportunity and never looked back BY ROBIN BOOKER SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Darryl Klassen’s fortunes have changed dramatically since he arrived in Kindersley, Sask., in 2012 to drive a semi-truck for an oilfield trucking company. Klassen had been farming with his brother in Austin, Man., but he was uncertain about his future at the farm. “The brother I was farming with, he had two young boys that were coming up in their early 20s or late teens, and he couldn’t give me an answer as to where it left me in 10, 15 years, or in five years even,” Klassen said. So he moved to Kindersley to haul water for a fracking operation, and after a few months he was able to get his own semi on with the company. “During the first breakup is when I put my own truck together with a pump and everything. Then my wife and I decided to make the move, seeing all the opportunity out here. That’s when I started advertising for custom spraying just through the mail,” he said. Klassen had on lease a 2011 John Deere sprayer and owned a Peterbilt truck with a 3,000 gallon tank on the back with a pintle hitch trailer he used for custom spraying in Manitoba. He put together an advertising flyer to see if he could pick up custom spraying work in the Kindersley area. Out of all the flyers he sent out, only one of them brought him work, but it brought him a lot of work.

I was en route between Eatonia and Eston when Garth MacDonald, who owns G-Mac’s, phoned me,” Klassen said.

said. “Long story short, that was the best thing I ever did.” This was because it was at the head office where the owner of G-Mac’s AgTeam came across the custom spraying flyer, and it just so happened the company had a vacancy. The company was having problems finding an operator to run their sprayer, which is a tough position to fill. “They basically said you have your own sprayer and equipment and stuff like that, if you want to take it over, you’re welcome to take over the (custom spraying) business,” Klassen said. “We had done about 2,000 acres in Manitoba our first year, to all of the sudden we are spraying 60,000 acres per year.” Klassen’s family had lost the farm near Austin in the early 1980s after it fell on hard times. “He (Klassen’s dad) tried to start up again, but between hard times and health, he did that for another five years with the older two boys,” Klassen said. Most of the family moved into the trucking business, and two of his brothers still run trucking companies. “There are five boys in the family and three sisters and at one time Dad, all the brothers, and all but two brothers-in-law were driving trucks,” Klassen said. “I put farming on the backburner.” But with the custom spraying business getting established, Klassen found himself in the position to buy some farmland. He bought a quarter section south of Kindersley that had a 32 by 64 foot shop and an old Eaton house. It became his home quarter. When spring rolled around he didn’t want to rent out the farmland. Instead, he wanted to farm it, even though he didn’t have the equipment to do so.

So he asked brothers Wayne and Barr y Whatley, whom he met through the custom spraying business, if they would custom seed his land for him. “The answer flat out was ‘no’. They said by the time we’re done seeding we’ve had enough. But we’ll bring you the tractor and we’ll bring you the air seeder and you’re

We started with one quarter, our home quarter. The following year we went to five quarters, rented four. The following year we went to 2,200 acres, then to 3,300 acres, and then this year we’re cropping 5,400 acres. DARRYL KLASSEN BOUNTY CREEK FARMS

more than welcome to seed it yourself,” Klassen said. “It’s just the nature of those guys. Between us and them, yes we rent land from them, but other than that there is very little money that changes hands.” The Whatley brothers were beginning to back out of farming, and they decided to give Klassen the opportunity to farm their land. “We started with one quarter, our home quarter. The following year we went to five quarters, rented four. The following year we went to 2,200 acres, then to 3,300 acres, and then this year we’re cropping 5,400 acres,” Klassen said. The inability to find quality workers has been the downfall of many businesses on the Prairies, and Klassen also struggled in that regard. He got to the point where he was

about to get rid of the oil trucks because he couldn’t find drivers he was happy with. “I tried all kinds of guys. We tried foreigners, guys from Alberta, guys from Manitoba, young, old, we tried them all and it was getting frustrating,” Klassen said. However, he stuck it out and he now has five full-time employees, based out of his new 70 by 80 foot shop, to which his original shop is attached. He employees three full-time truck drivers for his oil-hauling business and a full-time mechanic. He also has an employee that works with him in the custom application business and on the farm, named Bounty Creek Farms. The Whatley brothers he rents land from help Klassen seed and harvest, and he also hires help seasonally if needed. He has also bought a 2012 4949 John Deere with a 2014 New Leader spin spreader box he uses to custom apply granular fertilizer, primarily in the winter. His wife, Lisa, has established a professional photography business in the Kindersley area, called Lisa Klassen Fine Art Photography. Klassen said his success over the past six years is due in large part to being in the right place at the right time and having the right attitude. “Back in Manitoba, I saw so many guys around my age that had a chance to take over their dad’s farm, and when they did take it over, lots said ‘the heck with this’ and they either sold it off or rented it out — the easy street,” Klassen said “I’ve always said this — the guys that have the opportunity don’t take it and the guys that want it, can’t get it. It was presented to me, and I’m sure as hell not going to let it go.” robin.booker@producer.com

HERBICIDE RESISTANCE

Prairie fields rife with resistant weeds Resistance selected with HT crops, reduced tillage and tight rotations — both chemical and crop BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The number of weeds that have developed resistance to one or more herbicides is jumping in Western Canada. Fifty-seven percent of Canada’s largest cropping province now has fields infested with herbicide tolerant weeds. Random weed surveys conducted by researchers on 400 fields have found that more than 19 million acres in Saskatchewan likely carry one or more weed species that are tolerant to one or more herbicides. The weed resistance survey of 2009 showed about 14 million acres with the problem, compared to 3.52 million acres in 2003. Not every acre of a field has the issue, but the spread of the problem within fields is growing and along with it a reduction in the ability to easily control the growth as tools such as spot tillage and spraying become less practical, even where the issue is recognized. “In Manitoba we now know it is over 60 percent … and when we do the survey in Alberta this year I suspect it too will be over 50 percent as well,” said agricultural weed researcher Hugh Beckie. He said early issues with resistant weeds began largely with wild oats, where growers had been using the same products each June year in and year out. “Our research has now pointed to mixing multiple modes of action in all application windows of application,” said Beckie about a change in herbicide planning. Up until a few years ago, producers were encouraged to rotate herbicides and crops to avoid weed resistance. Often issues were caused by long-term cereal-oncereal production. Group 1 and 2 resistance in Saskatchewan’s wild oat population has reached 10.7 and 1.7 million acres, respectively. Group 1 and 2 multiple resistance is now more than 6.1 million acres of fields. “So where growers have wild oats, they are probably resistant to one or more herbicides,” he said. Graham Collier of Nufarm in Ponoka, Alta., said his company is now advising producers to “keep your weed populations off balance.” “Mixing multiple modes of action with some varied application timing, where you can, will keep resistance down,” said Collier, the company’s technical service manager on the Prairies. That is important when considering that the Prairies now have weeds such as green foxtail that are

Groups 1 and 2 resistant and that there is Group 2 resistance in chickweed, cleavers, redroot pigweed, shepherd’s purse, stinkweed and wild mustard. Some of the most recent weeds include: Group 1 resistant Persian darnel from Radville, Sask., Swift Current, Sask., and Brooks, Alta.; Group 2 chickweed from Spiritwood, Sask.; hemp-nettle from Three Hills, Alta.; Group 2 redroot pigweed from Moose Jaw, Sask., smartweed from Erskine, Stettler and Vegreville in Alberta and Group 9 kochia at Provost, Alta., Hilda, Alta., and Assiniboia, Sask. Beckie said one of the biggest economic threats to the southern Prairies remains kochia. Any time the pest is found it is “now assumed that it is Group 2 resistant, but 4 and 9 is also possible.” Resistant versions of that weed are estimated to now populate 5.7 million acres of annually cropped land in Saskatchewan alone. Collier said tank-mixing herbicides with multiple modes of action has long been a tool that

producers use in-crop. Some have also needed to control canola volunteers during spring burnoffs that way, but now that has been extended to many growers’ strategies to start the year. Producers are aware of problems in their fields, if the samples being submitted to Saskatchewan Agriculture’s Crop Protection Lab for testing are any measure. Record numbers of weed samples were submitted for testing for resistance in 2013 and 2015: 54 percent from Saskatchewan farmers, 40 from Alberta and six from Manitoba. The lab began testing for resistance in 1996. “It was once a slow and steady increase, but it has been growing more rapidly … more or less as predicted,” said Beckie. By and large, growers are still

managing their resistance issues. “When we look at weed densities at late summer and fall, we are finding that growers are managing to keep weeds from maturing in later summer and fall,” he said at a Nufarm field day last week. “They are keeping up mostly, with few large yield losses, but it takes more management all the time.” Kochia is the biggest threat in the south with resistance to three or more modes of action becoming an issue. “When producers get their backs pushed to the wall, growers will need to figure out how to adapt to the challenges, but they can put this off with a strong set of strategies.… It’s not rocket science.” michael.raine@producer.com

1. Maintain a farm database of weeds that are present and all applications, timings and crops that are used annually. This is useful to operators and might be an important part of rental agreements and future buyers’ production audits. 2. Strategic tillage for control of problem pests. If HT weed resistance is not managed well, benefits from reduced tillage practices may be lost because extreme tillage might be required for control. 3. Site specific weed management to deal with problems rather than “one size fits all” tools across an entire farm. 4. Field border and entry controls to keep resistant genetics out of whole fields. 5. In-crop wheat-selective herbicide rotations, ensuring cereal pests are controlled, such as clethodim, quizalofop, seth-oxydim and imazapyr. 6. Avoid back to back use of ACCase and ALS inhibitor herbicide families. 7. Use herbicide mode of action mixtures. 8. Pre- and post-herbicide application scouting to ensure awareness of control issues. 9. Plant competitive crops that aid in biological control of weeds with heavy canopies. 10. Crop diversity, avoiding tight rotations.

HARVEST RESEARCH

Straight-cut canola demands dry-down chemistry There are benefits to straight cutting canola, but only if it’s properly carried out BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

Research and grower experience prove that straight cutting canola results in larger seeds, fewer green seeds, less dockage, better weed control, minor yield increases and zero risk of losing swaths in a big wind. Straight cutting also offers a way for a grower to stay on schedule even as the farm expands. It’s estimated that half of all canola acres will be straight cut by 2020. In a 2015 survey, three-quarters of growers expressed an interest in trying it. But eliminating one field operat i o n m e a n s a d d i n g a n o t h e r. Instead of swathing, it’s critical to make a herbicide application, according to Angela Brackenreed, agronomist with the Canola Council of Canada. A pre-harvest herbicide application is very important for straightcutting,” Brackenreed said.

“Something that’s difficult for producers to get used to in straightcutting is that the stalks can be very green. That can make it difficult to feed through the combine. A preharvest application can really facilitate that and make it easier to combine the canola.” The pre-harvest herbicide should be applied at 70 to 80 percent podcolour change, giving pods more time to fill. The crop is ready for harvest when seed colour is below two percent green. It’s often necessary to use at least 10 gallons per acre of water to get good coverage because the crop is often taller than the weeds. Brackenreed emphasized that a pre-harvest herbicide is not the same thing as a desiccant. A desiccant prevents future maturity of the crop and locks in the number of green pods. A herbicide treatment dries down the weeds but may still allow the canola plants to continue maturing to a certain degree.

Some people think that with a desiccant you bring on maturity. You don’t. You really run the risk of locking in green seed and there are quality issues. ANGELA BRACKENREED CANOLA COUNCIL OF CANADA AGRONOMIST

When straight cutting canola, a pre-harvest herbicide should be applied at 70 to 80 percent pod color change. Canola Council agronomist Angela Brackenreed reminds growers that a pre-harvest herbicide and a desiccant are two different things. | BASF PHOTO She said one combination that growers use is an application of glyphosate tank-mixed with Heat LQ herbicide. “Heat LQ does dry down the canola crop. Heat is saflufenacil, a Group 14. Heat has some systemic activity, but it’s mostly contact activity. So it’s a little slower acting than a product like diquat, Reglone. “So you can get some minor maturity and seed fill after application. Honestly, it’s a strange point to make. I don’t really know that it would push a person one way or the other. I think what’s maybe nice about Heat is that it’s not as concerning to lock in green seed. The

timing isn’t quite as critical as with Reglone. “The distinction between a desiccant and a pre-harvest aid is important. Some people think that with a desiccant you bring on maturity. You don’t. You really run the risk of locking in green seed and there are quality issues.” According to BASF, Heat LQ in trials has given a more uniform crop dry-down of 8.33 percent compared to naturally ripened or glyphosate-alone treated stands. BASF stated that growers also saw better broadleaf weed control and easier combining after using Heat LQ. Brackenreed added that straight

cutting comes down to efficiency. “ Swathing is obviously a slow process. It’s more manpower and another piece of equipment. But some larger farms look at it the other way. If you swath, timing isn’t as critical. If you have a lot of canola, you can put some of it down in a swath and it can sit there for weeks sometimes without losing quality or seed loss. With straight cut, it’s important you get to that crop when it’s ready to go.” For more information, contact Brackenreed at 204-720-6923 or brackenreeda@canolacouncil. org. ron.lyseng@producer.com

RECOGNIZING TALENT

Talented people are everywhere, you just have to find them PRECISION HAPPENS

TERRY A. BRASE

nice thing about having my own column is that I can get on a soapbox about something I believe in. Since this is a column about precision farming, it will get there in a roundabout way. A couple of news items in the past few years have made me wonder how society values talent. A national beauty pageant was held a few years ago in which a contestant gave a soliloquy on her career as a nurse for her talent component. It was a compelling, passionate and thoughtful speech, but it did not win. She was criticized by one talk show, which comprises a group of women talking and drinking coffee, as not having a talent.

I realize it was an opinion, but they were disparaging this woman by saying nursing was not a talent. I have also watched the TV show America’s Got Talent. In one particular performance a gentleman would swallow coins: quarters, nickels, and dimes. He would then ask somebody to request an amount of change, such as 35 cents. He then regurgitated the coins to provide the correct change requested by the person. Is this really a talent? Related to this topic are award shows: the Emmys, the Oscars, Grammys, the list could go on. There are talented actors who provide an entertainment value, but do we really need to have award shows to recognize them? I believe that the nurse in the beauty pageant is the real talent. I will go even further and say that thousands of talented teachers, plumbers, auto mechanics and police officers go unnoticed every day and they are the people who deserve the award shows, acclamation and recognition instead of a guy that can regurgitate a quarter. These people are technicians,

Being passionate about agriculture means understanding its importance possibly with a one-year degree or maybe an advanced professional degree, and they help our countries function. They know their jobs and do them with skill; sometimes with an artistry that is unnoticed. There are millions of other people who are talented in their jobs and yet there are few award shows to recognize these people. So it pains me to hear a group of women who earn a healthy salary — I’m not guessing how much, but I’m pretty sure it’s more than I get paid for writing this column — sit

around a table and talk critically about whether a nurse’s career is a talent. Nursing care is most definitely a talent and more so than being able to talk and drink coffee at the same time. In precision farming, technicians are key and we need more talented ones. The agricultural industry is looking for technicians who enjoy what they do, are knowledgeable about their jobs and are doing something of value. Or, in other words, are talented. The key to talent, whether it

involves acting, talking and drinking coffee or regurgitating quarters, is passion. Passion for one’s career means not only being excited about it but understanding the importance of it. My advice for managers looking for good precision farming technicians is to seek out young people who are passionate about agriculture and technology. Yo u m ay f i n d t h e m i n h i g h schools, technical colleges or coming into one of your retail locations as a customer. My advice for high school students looking for a career is to figure out what you enjoy. Be honest with yourself as far as what gets you excited and not just superficial video games and sports. Know what your skills are and build those skills to form your passion. Find something that you have a passion for and you too can be considered talented. Just don’t wait for a nationally televised award show. Terry A. Brase is an agriculture consultant, precision agriculture educator and author. BrASE LLC.

Krone is not the most widely known brand of forage equipment in Western Canada, a situation the company hopes to rectify by installing dealers throughout the three prairie provinces. The German company is recognized in the United States as a manufacturer of quality equipment, and they expect to import that reputation to Canada, according to Krone’s Brian Hutt, who adds that the company has sold forage harvesters and other equipment in Canada for a number of years but is now revving up efforts. “You’d be interested in the story behind our EC TC 500 mower conditioner. This is a joint venture with MacDon Industries and Krone,” says Hutt.

MacDon engineers worked closely with our engineers on the machine itself, to ensure it was right for the North American market. BRIAN HUTT KRONE

“MacDon engineers worked closely with our engineers on the machine itself, to ensure it was right for the North American market. The cutterbar is a Krone component designed and manufactured in Germany. “One of the features farmers note right away is the narrow transport width. That’s becoming more and more of an issue in North America, and this machine is one step ahead

of others in that respect. Of course, that’s been an issue in Europe for decades. “This product has been on the market only one year, and we’ve only sold about 200 so far, so this is still a new product to Canadian far mers. It has a list pr ice of $60,000.” The 1290 HDP high density big square baler has been Krone’s biggest seller in Canada since they began importing them in 2003. Hutt says Krone was the first manufacturer to develop a high density, big square baler, which it released in 2008. “To accomplish that, we extended the length of the chamber, so that made the overall baler a bit longer. But that lets us gather more material before we compress it hydraulically. It’s simply a matter of cranking up the hydraulic pressure on a bigger load of forage. “We can build bales approaching 3,000 pounds. The high density machine builds a three-foot by four-foot bale that has the same weight as a normal bale measuring four foot by four foot. “Some balers have trouble with straw because it’s so slick. For producers in livestock country, the 1290 HDP is exceptional when baling straw. Suggested list price is about $200,000.” Hutt says that to increase its presence on the Prairies, Krone began working with Rocky Mountain Equipment about three years ago. It is now fully set up with Rocky Mountain in Alberta and Manitoba, and expect to be set up in Saskatchewan soon.

BISON ONE MILLION PROJECT

BRINGING BACK BISON

One million bison a lofty goal?

The North American bison herd was estimated at 30 million animals at its peak. By the 1880s, the species was nearly extinct. Today there are approximately 392,000 in the U.S., Canada and Mexico.

Expanding the North American bison herd by 600,000 requires new producers and demand BISON ON THE RISE

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

BIG SKY, Mont. — Two hundred years ago, the North American bison herd was 30 million animals strong. Today, the goal is to increase numbers to one million from the current 392,000 animals in the United States and Canada. It’s called Bison One Million, a plan officially announced during the International Bison Conference July 4-7. “We’re going to really push hard on the Bison One Million, but the flip side of it is we want to do it right,” said National Bison Association executive director Dave Carter. Doing it right means preserving bison’s image and its reputation for producing healthy, naturally raised meat. Carter said bison will never become a commodity like beef, nor is that the goal. Current figures show it’s a niche product at best, with U.S. per capita consumption of bison meat at .08 pounds. That hardly compares to the 50 to 52 lb. per capita for beef. Even if bison consumption were to triple, it would still constitute one quarter-pounder for every American, Carter said. Last year, Canada processed about 10,000 bison and the U.S. processed 62,000, of which 34 percent came from Canada. “That’s what the beef industry does before noon on an average day,” said Carter about slaughter levels. “We never see ourselves as competing against beef.” Bison is selling for about US$5 per

lb. now, having risen from the doldrums of the early 2000s when carcasses were selling for $1.60 per lb. Demand is now exceeding supply by an estimated 10 to 25 percent, according to the NBA’s regular survey of commercial bison marketers. However, building the North American herd to one million will be a slow process, said NBA president Roy Liedtke, who raises bison in Texas and Wyoming. Simple biology is a major factor. Bison breed at two years old, calve at three and grow more slowly than cattle. If grass-finished, as most of them are now, it takes longer to reach slaughter stage and weight. Expanding the herd also means promotion to maintain and increase consumer demand for the product. Higher slaughter numbers will mean fewer breeding animals. “It’s going to take 15 to 20 years,” said Liedtke about the millionanimal goal. “It’s going to be awhile.” He thinks hitting 500,000 within three years w ill be a stretch, although possible. “The demand is out there. The people want it,” he said. “The thing

that we’ve talked about, too, is it’s not just the private ranchers. We need to collaborate with the conservation folks. We need to get more animals in parks, in conservation areas, state parks, national parks. We need to collaborate with the tribal folks because they’re trying to increase their herds.” It’s also going to require more new producers to enter the industry, a goal both the Canadian Bison Association and the NBA have

been working on. CBA president Sharif Famihy said he’s confident existing producers can increase their numbers. “I think that the producers are able to expand their herds and build their herds so we are able to meet the demand. We have a shortage right now, so it’s basically looking into the future,” said Famihy. “Last year at our convention, the main theme was building the herd, so we are doing work and we’re on the same page, north and south of the 49th (parallel).” Another challenge involves preservation of bison’s “green halo,” the image of the animals as grass-fed, natural, raised without use of growth hormones or antibiotics and raised on range rather than confined. Will expanding the herd mean finding more grassland, or will it mean more bison in feedlots? Proponents of holistic principles say better management of existing grassland can increase carrying capacity. As demand for bison increases and if the industry remains profitable, it might also encourage some people to take land out of crops and put it back into grass and forages for grazing. “You have to plan for that transition,” said Sarah Gleason, director of marketing and communications for the Savory Institute. “Often times with producers that I have seen do it, it happens gradually over time, but we have seen multiple cases in multiple different contexts around the world, around the U.S. and in Canada, CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

Calgary Stampede steer show highlights Grand champion plans to take training to help build his herd BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Devon Scott has retired from junior steer shows on a high note. The 20-year-old from Arrowwood, Alta., led out the grand champion against nearly 80 head at the Calgary Stampede Steer Classic held July 16, winning $17,000. The prize money is split into a $12,000 scholarship and a cash prize. His steer, named Rotor, was a h o m e ra i s e d Ma i n e A n j o u , Angus-Simmental cross and weighed 1,382 pounds. It was later sold at auction for $22,000 with the proceeds going to the Stampede scholarship program. This is Scott’s seventh time in this show but his first time in the spotlight. He entered some earlier jackpot shows, and the steer started

to improve in the standings. “At the start we thought he looked good, but we didn’t know how he would turn out,” Scott said. “As time went on he started to fill out and he started to pass the others.” A recent graduate of Lethbridge College’s agriculture program, Scott has returned to the family’s mixed farm, which includes about 140 commercial cattle. He plans to use the scholarship money for future training courses and to buy purebred Simmental cows to build his herd. The reserve went to Casie Brokenshire of Estevan, Sask., with a steer named Ace. The reserve champion receives $8,000 in scholarship money and $3,000 in cash. The champions are selected from a group of six finalists. The remaining four each receives

$3,000 in scholarships and $1,000 cash. The animals are divided into classes by weight. Individual class winners won $1,000 in cash and $250 in scholarships with lesser amounts for the next four placings. All the steers are then entered in a quality beef competition where the top carcass receives $3,500 and the reserve is awarded $2,500. Lesser prizes are paid out to the next six places. The top six steers were: • Devon Scott, Arrowwood, Alta. • Casie Brokenshire, Estevan, Sask. • Cassidy Serhienko, Maymont, Sask. • Katie Serhienko, Maymont, Sask. • Bret Marshall, Innisfail, Alta. • Ryley Noble, Streamstown, Alta. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

GRAZING SCHOOL

Zero in on alfalfa to maximize hay quality Expert advises cutting forages when alfalfa is in the 10 to 20 percent bloom stage BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

VERMILION, Alta. — Figuring out the best time to cut hay is an individual decision, but weather and desired feed quality are important considerations to get the best possible product. “It depends on the performance you need to get out of the cows you are feeding,” said Leila Hickman, an animal science instructor at Lakeland College in Vermilion. Beef, dairy and horses have different requirements, said Jessica Hryciuk of the college during a recent women’s grazing school. Horses are limited by quantity because they eat constantly. They need high volumes of hay to sustain their body condition. A cow is always looking for quality to maintain body weight and wean a healthy calf. “If she has lots of hay that is of poor quality, she is going to spend more time chewing her cud and using her energy to break down that hay than if it were in smaller quantities but high quality,” said Hryciuk. “A second trimester cow needs less quality than one that is milking and has a calf.” A dairy cow needs the highest quality to provide it with adequate protein and minerals to make milk. Figuring out when to cut forages is often based on the desired end product. “When you have a mixed stand, you always manage your alfalfa, never your grass,” Hryciuk said Alfalfa–grass mix stands should be cut about a week earlier than a

Alfalfa flowers show up on the bottom of the stalk first, and she suggests cutting at the 10 to 20 percent bloom stage. “That is the ideal crude protein stage to cut, in my opinion.” Consider the amount of leafy material when cutting grass hay. Grasses stop leaf production when they are going to seed. “Once that seed head comes out, there will be no more leaves than was already produced,” Hryciuk said. The grass seeds contain protein but do not have the feed value of cereals such as barley kernels. Greenfeed harvest is similar to silage cutting. Aim to cut it at the green stage when kernels are starting to develop soft dough. Howev-

er, the decision rests with the farmer, who may want more fibre. There are challenges when it comes to harvesting forage in the west because of the short growing season, the potential for winterkill and the subjective definition of quality. Quality is affected by: • environment • plant species • harvesting conditions where nutrients are lost due to weathering • maturity of plants at harvest • leaf to stem ratio • presence of weeds and noxious weeds that can reduce yields, affect palatability or produce off flavours in milk Manitoba Agriculture fact sheets say hay’s quality is lost as soon as it

TIPS FOR MAKING QUALITY HAY • Choose the species and the varieties of hay crops to fit the farming need, climate conditions, disease pressure and soil type. • Maintain fertility for best yields and increased stand longevity. • When estimating relative feed value at first cutting, use a

is cut. A freshly cut plant is still respiring, which is the process that plants use to turn starch and sugar into energy. Plant energy in the form of sugar and starch are connected to total digestible nutrients (TDN) in hay. Respiration stops once moisture

levels in the plant drop below 40 percent. Shortening the amount of time it takes for cut hay to go to less than 40 percent moisture from 80 percent slows the dry matter and TDN losses after that point. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

HORSE CONDITION

Canker: a rare hoof condition requiring early treatment ANIMAL HEALTH

JAMIE ROTHENBURGER, DVM

oof canker is an unusual condition in horses. The rare disease results from abnormal growth of the outer horn layer of the hoof It typically originates in the frog, the bottom portion of the hoof toward the heel. In severe cases, canker can spread to the adjacent sole, hoof wall and bars. Horses with canker may or may not be lame. The canker lesion is grey to pale tan and proliferative, resembling cauliflower or proud flesh, also known as granulation tissue. It can occur in one hoof or several on the same horse. Canker is diagnosed based on the presence of the characteristic hoof

lesion. In some cases, veterinarians may collect and submit a biopsy to a pathologist for supportive evidence of the diagnosis. It is important to distinguish canker from thrush since they affect the same part of the hoof but require different treatment. Thrush is characterized by tissue death and breakdown of the hoof, while canker features excess white tissue. If a treatment for thrush isn’t working, then it may be a case of canker.

condition—“heavy cart horses are more affected than any other class.” Modern veterinary textbooks also suggest that draft and warmblood breeds appear to be more commonly affected. Middle age or senior horses may be more likely to develop the disease. The cause of canker is unknown, but infection with bacteria and fungi is one possibility. More cases have been documented in summer and fall, but more research is needed to call it a seasonal pattern.

Older horses are more likely to be affected, but the cause of canker is still undetermined This disease has been well known for years. My 1921 copy of The Practical Stock Doctor provides this description: “As the secretion escapes to surrounding parts, it dries and forms small, cheesy masses, composed in part of the partly dried horny matter, exceedingly offensive to smell.” The book emphasizes that certain breeds are predisposed to the

Some veterinarians suggest that muddy, unhygienic conditions are to blame. Some observe more canker cases in stabled horses compared to those on pasture. There is also evidence to suggest that infection with a bovine papillomavirus may be the culprit. New research published in the journal Veterinary Pathology sheds new light on cankers.

The researchers from Vienna, Austria, with a collaborator at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland, examined microscopic tissues from horses with canker and compared them to tissues from normal horses. Using molecular markers that often help identify and diagnose cancer, the researchers found that cells were not proliferating excessively as was previously thought. Instead of pre-cancerous overgrowth, the lesions of canker appear to arise from abnormal maturation of the cells that form the hoof. The lack of the normal, hard outer layer allows the inner tissue layers to protrude, creating the proliferative, cauliflower-like appearance. Researchers also found that the tissue changes of canker are similar to sarcoids (masses that arise in the skin of horses). Many researchers have long suspected that a bovine papilloma virus is responsible for both canker and sarcoids; therefore, finding

similar changes further supports the connection, although a definitive link to the bovine virus requires further investigation. Treatment consists of removing the outermost layers of the abnormal horn, then keeping the hoof dry and clean with bandages. It can take several weeks for the normal hoof horn to regrow and the canker may require a few rounds of treatment to achieve a cure. Some veterinarians advocate use of antibiotics directly within the defect. Although canker is rare, early detection and treatment are important for achieving the best prognosis. It is important to examine hoofs regularly and if you see signs of hoof abnormalities within the bottom structures of the hoof, consult with your farrier or veterinarian.

ELECTROCUTION FEAR

Power line a threat, says farmer BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

A farmer from Wadena, Sask., wants SaskPower to reconsider the route for a proposed threephase power line that will affect his operation. Chad Haskey said the new Viterra facility at Wadena requires the service, but the corporation has chosen an indirect route that divides his farm and puts his plans for an airstrip in jeopardy. He said there is a better route. “The only reason they’re not going the direct, shorter route is because the line would not go down an all-season road,” he said. The route past his house is on a better road but could place his employees in jeopardy because it would intersect where equipment is moved and set up. He owns the property on both sides of the road. “We come out our driveway across the road and set up equipment,” Haskey said. The poles for a three-phase line are taller than others but are within the road allowance 33 feet from the centre of the road. He said combine headers are up to 45 feet wide and the poles could make turning difficult. Haskey planned the airstrip for chemical application as well as a bin yard on the affected property. “I’m not trying to hold back progress, but there are other options,” he said. A SaskPower spokesperson said the corporation is meeting all a p p l i c a b l e re g u l at i o n s a n d requires favourable topography and foundation conditions for its lines. “We do try to minimize agriculture, environmental, social and other impacts such as the land use,” Leanne Persicke said. “We minimize the economic impact such as construction costs, maintenance and operations from SaskPower’s perspective.” karen.briere@producer.com

FARROW-TO-FEEDER OPERATION

Data gathering boosts swine efficiency Ontario hog operators share information to determine where profits are leaking out BY MARY BAXTER FREELANCE WRITER

Daniel Roelands had little confidence in the accuracy of the numbers on his metered feed mill when it came to measuring swine feed volumes. So last year he and his family — he farms with his wife and parents near London, Ont. — replaced the mill with a new computerized one that works on weight rather than volume and generates a report. It’s one of a series of changes Roelands has recently introduced at the family’s sow and finishing operation with the goal to improve performance by honing data collection and analysis. The farrow-to-feeder barn he built in 2016 was designed with data collection in mind. He also allocated the barn its own propane tank to keep better track of fuel costs. “I want to do this with hydro too but I’m a little bit scared (of seeing

how much it will actually cost),” quipped the lanky farmer who also grows cash crops such as corn, wheat and soybeans. Benchmarking the family’s farm against other area farms motivated the effort to collect data. In 2014, Roelands joined a datasharing group made up of other local producers and realized they were not equipped to collect accurate enough data to properly compare it. “We were farrowing sows weekly,” he wrote in a paper accompanying a presentation at the London Swine Conference earlier this year. “Our nursery and finisher barns were continuous flow, making it difficult to do proper (cost) closeouts.” Today, Roelands belongs to three groups, each with a slightly different focus. Members of one group, co-ordinated by the Middlesex County Pork Producers, send their opera-

M A K E Y O U R O W N G E T AWAY STOP DREAMING

tions’ numbers to an Ontario ministry of agriculture swine specialist, who analyzes and calculates the highs, lows and averages of each category for the group. It’s enough information to provide farmers with some “warning signals about what part of your farm is struggling compared with guys with similar farms,” Roelands said. The other two groups, each made up of about eight members, share individual numbers, including indepth production numbers and cost. Members also quiz each other on how they’re achieving certain results on their farm. Any style of benchmarking and sharing will be beneficial if the data is reliable and producers are willing to discuss their strengths and weaknesses, Roelands said. He likened farm management to a water pipe with taps. As production flows through, each tap represents a place where profits might leak out, such as with feed costs or mortality rates. “Collecting reliable data and comparing and discussing it with other producers is a great way to figure out which of your taps are leaking and what you need to do to close them.” Improvements made

Sharing prompted big differences in his own operation, he said. They’ve added a large hallway scale in the new barn to weigh the pigs at weaning and when they’re shipped out as feeder pigs. A fourw e e k b a t c h s y s t e m re p l a c e s weekly farrowing. And they’ve introduced all-in, allout approaches in nursery rooms and finisher barns. Roelands records the amount of each product used on a spreadsheet per batch, and he uses another spreadsheet to record the costs of each item. He uses the information to calculate costs per pig per batch. Keeping track makes it easier to identify changes between batches

and to analyze results. Group members do their best to standardize the information and adjust for differences in production approaches where they can. But the discussion that results is more important than perfectly aligned numbers, Roelands said. “It’s good to see the histor y because you can see how they’re doing if they do their numbers exactly the same every time and they’re improving, you can say, how did you improve?” Neil Harper, Ontario Pork manager of information systems, advises producers who want to improve data collection to consider what could provide data, such as sensors and other farm equipment with data-collection capability, note-taking, software packages and information collected by Ontario Pork. He also suggested thinking about how to structure the data system before implementing it. Draw a diagram of how you want to organize or structure the information and think about how the components could be related to each other, he said — and plan for types of data you might add in farther down the line. Spending time up front “will pay off down the road” by avoiding redundancies and ensuring the information can be separated the way it needs to be. Harper outlined other factors producers should consider: • Standardize entries, such as consistently using the same name for a supplier, for example, to make it easier to search through data. • Consider your computer storage capacity and ensure it can handle the amount of data being kept. • Establish a back-up strategy and include off-site backup. • Take secur ity precautions. E-mail is unsecured and can be intercepted by hackers. Passwords should be strong and everything password protected. “Treat (your data) like you would your bank account doing online banking,” he said.

SWINE CONFERENCE

Swine nutrition experiences decade of advances An increase in research facilities allow for more feed testing and studies on nutritional needs BY MARY BAXTER FREELANCE WRITER

Changes in swine nutrition over the past two decades have been sweeping, and the namesake for the London Swine Conference’s new CFM de Lange Lecture in Pig Nutrition played a pivotal role. “Kees (de Lange) was certainly a pillar in the swine nutrition community,” Mike Tokach, a Kansas State University animal sciences and industry professor, told delegates to the annual conference held in London earlier this year. Tokach, the annual lecture’s first speaker, said the late de Lange, a University of Guelph professor who specialized in swine nutrition, “was held in high regard for not only for his basic research side (but also) because he was one of those rare souls who was able to take basic research information and make it understandable to people at the barn level.” De Lange died last year. Tokach touched on many breakthroughs in swine nutrition, such as changes in expressing and determining nutritional requirements. Modified net or metabolizable energy value calculations, for example, are increasingly replacing measures such as digestible energy or metabolizable energy. The new approaches that are beginning to be referred to as productive energy promise more accurate results than their predecessors, which tend to overestimate the true energy use of food ingredients, Tokach said.

MIKE TOKACH KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY

In terms of amino acids and phosphorus, the industry has moved toward standardized measures derived from how much a pig would realistically digest and away from measures based on calculations of total amounts contained in a feed or by subtracting what remains at the other end of the digestive system (but not accounting for the other ways these food components could be lost along the way.) Changes in research methods have also sped advances in nutrition, he said, noting that in 1995, there were only four production research facilities in the United States. Today, Kansas State University alone manages 17 production research facilities. “These field research facilities allow for more robust testing of ingredients and additives in pro-

increase methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus. Tokach urged industry to be proactive by using zinc only where “the greatest benefits are observed.”

• Changes to feeder design, such as the advent of automatic feeding systems, allow better access for animals, improve their feed intake and reduce the labour

required to provide the feed. • The availability of dried distillers grain w ith solubles has “changed feeding programs in many North American production systems more than any other ingredient over the last 20 years,” he wrote in a paper accompanying the lecture. The use of DDGs has also triggered understanding of other areas of swine nutrition, the effect of the source and feeding duration of fat on the animal’s fat quality being one. • On Jan. 1, most antibiotics could no longer be used to promote growth in finishing pigs in the United States. “Oversight and cost of compliance will continue to increase and apply further pressure on antibiotic use,” he wrote. • Mycotoxin issues appear to be on the rise for the industry, perhaps because of the adoption of new technologies in corn production or improvements in how mycotoxins are tested and measured. There are some solutions on the horizon, but they are limited, he said. Looking back reveals “just how far we’ve come with improving production in the industry,” Tokach said, noting that in 1994 in the United States, producers marketed 14 pigs per sow per year. In 2015, that number had grown to 22 on average.

Additional advances Tokach highlighted several other breakthroughs over the past two decades: • At one time it was thought that growth rates in the nursery are linked to finishing growth rates. It’s now known that weaning age and weight are key factors. Later weaning ages or weights allow important changes in the animal’s gastrointestinal tract to occur and also lead to better immune and digestive function. These factors in turn create better potential to reach a heavier market weight. • As the trend to increasing weaning age grows, reliance on expensive nursery diets diminishes. “The move towards older weaning ages is still underway in the North American swine industry and average weaning age will likely continue to increase as antibiotic use decreases,” he said. • Other research has revealed that a change in nutrition prompts a change in growth performance only as a specialized diet is fed. It won’t continue to affect performance after the pig is switched to a common diet. The new understanding “has greatly reduced nursery diet complexity and cost for many production systems.” • Over the past two decades producers have increasingly added zinc to early nursery diets to reduce diarrhea and promote growth. However, pressure to curtail the practice grows. There is an issue of toxicity for animals if pharmacological concentrations are used for too long. There are also concerns that its use could

The Canadian dollar rallied to its highest level in more than a year as the Bank of Canada raised its interest rate for the first time since 2010. The Canadian economy is recovering from the oil price shock and the bank believes ultra low interest rates are no longer needed.

The Bank of Canada raised interest rates by a quarter of a percentage point while slow inflation in the U.S. reduced expectation of aggressive rate raising there. For the week, the Toronto Stock Exchange composite and the Dow rose one percent, the Nasdaq rose 2.6 percent and the S&P 500 gained 1.4 percent.

FARM INPUT SUPPLIERS BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

VANCOUVER — Canadian farmers are in jeopardy of losing the currency buffer that has partially shielded them from slumping commodity prices, says an economist. Like most international currencies, the Canadian dollar has been weakening versus the U.S. dollar in recent years. That has resulted in better returns for exporters of Canadian products because most trade is conducted in U.S. dollars. The weak loonie is a big reason why farmers in Canada are in better financial shape than their neighbours south of the border. However, that could be about to change, says J.P. Gervais, chief agricultural economist with Farm Credit Canada. The Bank of Canada on July 12 increased its overnight rate by a quarter percentage point to .75 percent, the first hike in seven years.

Canada and Australia are among the only countries that have signalled their intention to boost interest rates in lockstep with the United States. The Canadian dollar jumped up more than one cent to about US78.5 cents on the day of the increase. Gervais thinks the higher rates will maintain or strengthen the loonie in relation to the U.S. dollar while most other currencies continue to fall. “We are probably going to hold still against the U.S. dollar, even gaining value,” Gervais said in an interview following a presentation he made at Pulses 2017. “It may put us in a spot where it hurts a bit of our competitiveness.” He said the low Canadian dollar has helped the entire agriculture sector, and pulses are no exception. Key pulse importing nations such as India and China have currencies that have lost eight percent of their value against the U.S. dollar in 2017 versus the five-year average.

However, key pulse exporting countries such as Australia and Canada have currencies that have performed even worse, losing 14 to 15 percent of their value versus the five-year average. That is why devalued currencies in overseas markets haven’t been a big issue for Canadian pulse exporters, said Gervais. However, it could be in the future, so farmers and exporters need to keep a close eye on currency fluctuations. The other worrisome development is the growing anti-trade sentiment in the U.S. and elsewhere around the world. Pulses are a lot more trade dependent than other crops, said Gervais. “You have a vested interest in ensuring borders remain open,” he said. The U.S. exit from the TransPacific Partnership agreement was a big blow to the pact, and it may never recover. However, while the U.S. retreats

into its protectionist shell, other countries and regions are filling the leadership void. The European Union has inked deals with Canada and Japan and is in negotiations with a number of South American countries. “Hats off to the European Union because they are exercising quite a bit of leadership when it comes to opening trade,” said Gervais. China is also playing a leadership role in negotiating the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership, which he described as the TPP on steroids. It includes most of the TPP countries minus North America with the additions of China and India. “I don’t think the discussion around trade is over. I’m actually very confident that we’re going to see more trade liberalization down the road,” said Gervais. “For us willing to dance, we may have some partners out there.”

SUCCESSION PLANS

Making sense of the mechanics of intergenerational land transfers

Meat processor invests in sausage-making facilities BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH

MONEY IN YOUR POCKET

GRANT DIAMOND

armers preparing their wills and succession plans should be aware of the details of the capital gains exemption and the capital gains deduction. Of course, before you get into the various strategies available to complete a succession transition, it is vital to discuss the interests and views of all parties involved as soon as possible to avoid difficulties down the road. However, once the discussions are ongoing and you are on that path, you’ll start to encounter the mechanics of protecting and easing the transfer of assets among family members. The capital gains deduction on qualified farm property plays a major role in these transfers as it may be one of the final times the parents can take advantage of the $1 million capital gain exemption for farm land or shares of a family farm corporation. The Income Tax Act provides the opportunity to transfer most assets at cost using the rollover provisions, but it is important to note that it can be a tricky task to set an agreed amount for shares in a family farm corporation somewhere between cost and fair market value while using the parent’s remaining capital gains deduction. The deduction is half of the lifetime capital gains exemption. There is an added challenge relating to land that is inherited by a son or daughter. If they are married, their spouse is not entitled to the capital gains deduction because under the act such a transfer is not considered matrimonial property. Only one parent and not both actually own the land and only one may claim the deduction. The land may be considered matrimonial property if it is purchased by a single person, but in the eyes of Canada Revenue Agency only one person owns the property. So, the same challenges exist when giving the farmland to the spouse. It is important therefore to consider such details at the time of acquisition. Perhaps the most common strategy for farm transfers is by way of the parent’s will. One parent’s will often bequeaths the farm with a portion of the land going to the spouse at cost and a portion to the child or children. Since the trustee can select a value between cost and free market value, the capital gains deduction may be accessed on the deceased parent’s final tax return. When the remaining parent dies, the balance of the farm is then distributed to the child or children. The capital gains deduction is accessed by the last deceased parent on the remaining land on their

final tax return. The children now have the entire property. Some families’ transition plans have the children becoming owners earlier in the process. That is when the lawyers and accountants get involved in proposing corporations and family trusts so that children can participate in the growth of the family farm. The advantage is that families do not need to wait until the older generation dies. Also, the farmers crystallize their capital gains deduction sooner and do not have to worry that this tax incentive might be removed

before they pass on. However, like most tax strategies, there are risks. Some families are concerned that passing property before the inheritance rules means the child’s spouse has a claim on generational land. Whatever strategy you use, it is always prudent to discuss this with your tax adviser, lawyer and accountant to make sure it is the best fit for you and your family.

Olymel is investing $2 million in its Red Deer pork plant for a sausage production unit. “This will be a new activity with diversification to serve retailers in Western Canada,” said company spokesperson Richard Vigneault. Olymel plan is to produce breakfast sausages and bulk sausage meat for distribution in Western Canada. It added a sausage division to its plant in Trois Riviere, Que., last year. The new venture requires modernized refrigeration facilities as

well as new equipment in a separate section of the plant. Construction was set to begin this month. The Red Deer plant employs 1,400 people in a single shift. The sausage unit will add another 20 jobs. Olymel is Canada’s largest pork processor and employs more than 11,000 workers with production and processing facilities in Quebec, Ontario, Alberta, New Brunswick and Saskatchewan.
