FEDERAL TAX REVISIONS

FREE TRADE NEGOTIATIONS

Tax changes impact could be ‘humongous’

No panic from Canada, Mexico over threat to terminate NAFTA

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

The last thing Andrew Peden needs to think about during a busy harvest season is tax planning. But the Minburn, Alta., grower finds himself preoccupied with worry about proposed federal tax changes that he thinks could mess up his farm and his son’s ability to come home one day and take over the operation. “It’s going to have some huge implications with trying to pass my farm down to my son,” said Peden. “He wants to come back and take over.” The situation is also scary for him and his wife, who don’t know how the changes could affect farm income or how they have to run their operation. “The tax bill could be humongous. Everything we have is tied up in this farm,” said Peden. Indeed, most farmers have most

or all of their savings invested in their farms. Any income for themselves and the rest of their family comes is earned from the farm, and until now, family farms in Western Canada have been encouraged to incorporate or organize itself to allow for fair treatment of spouses and children and for retirement and succession. Now a massive series of tax revisions has been proposed. It’s been announced at the height of the growing season and only allows for public responses until Oct. 2, when many farmers will still be bringing in the harvest. Tax, accounting and succession experts say the proposed rules could have a major impact on farm families; undermining the ability of some family farms to survive and encouraging farm families to get out of the business.

Donald Trump has been in full bully-boy mode about NAFTA, twice threatening to “terminate” it in recent days. And his U.S. Trade Representative immediately tabled a demand to eliminate the Chapter 19 dispute settlement mechanism, a provision that Canada and Mexico have often said is key to protecting them against the overwhelming power of the U.S. But Canadian farmers, as well as agriculture and food players, don’t seem too scared by the bluster. The U.S. has much less ability to play dirty than it did when Canada and the U.S. created the Free Trade Agreement and the Chapter 19 mechanism back in 1988. “I think this is the kind of talk you hear at the beginning of negotiations,” said Canadian Federation of Agriculture president Ron Bonnett. “It’s not actually clear (termination) would have any great effect,” said John Ross, executive director of the Canadian Pork Council. The foundation for this non-

panicked attitude is the reality that the U.S. isn’t free to nail its northern and southern neighbours with capricious trade tariffs and blockages, as it was in the days before the FTA and NAFTA were signed. International trade litigator and former diplomat Lawrence Herman of Toronto law firm Cassels Brock notes that the U.S. has given up the right to hit individual countries with discriminatory tariffs in the years since the 1988 and 1993 deals were made, and it can’t really go back. “They can’t. They’re bound (by the World Trade Organization),” said Herman, a prominent member of the C.D. Howe Institute, in an interview. Since NAFTA, the U.S., Canada and Mexico have become part of the WTO, which did not exist before NAFTA. That agreement bans members from treating trading partners differently, so if the U.S. pulled out of NAFTA, Canada and Mexico would still have to be treated as “Most Favoured Nation” trading partners and would only be subject to the same tariffs that those sorts of countries face.

Deputy premier vies for Wall’s job

PUTTING UP FOR WINTER

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Long-time agricultural insider and most recently top civil servant, Alanna Koch wants to be Saskatchewan’s next premier. She announced her candidacy for the Saskatchewan Party leadership Aug. 28 at a farm south of Regina. Flanked by her family she told a crowd of supporters, including caucus members Dan D’Autremont and Don McMorris, that she has the depth of experience to lead the province. “I am a mother. I am a farmer,” she said. “I have stood up for farmers and the agriculture industry and fought for issues that have created jobs and helped Saskatchewan business grow.” She has been involved in international trade negotiations and been on several trade missions promoting Saskatchewan business and products. Koch stepped down from her job as deputy minister to premier Brad Wall just hours before announcing her leadership bid. Previously she spent almost nine years as agriculture deputy minister. Her agricultural resume includes executive director of the Western Canadian Wheat Growers, board member of Agricore United and president of the Canadian AgriFood Trade Alliance. In 2003, she ran McMorris’s election campaign. “I’m really glad that she’s taken the step,” McMorris said. “It’s a huge decision for anybody. It’s so valuable for our party.” Rancher Murray McGillivray said he believes Koch has the ability to lead the province. “She has a vision for Saskatchewan that’s conducive to all of Saskatchewan — agriculture, oil, potash, everything,” he said. “She also has the ability to listen.” Pense farmer Levi Wood said he will personally support Koch but couldn’t say whether the WCWG, which he currently leads, would endorse any candidate. “We’re obviously encouraging all candidates to approach us,” he said. “From my perspective personally I think more candidates with ag experience is important.” Koch is the only un-elected candidate to declare so far. Others in the race are Tina Beaudry-Mellor from Regina University, Jeremy Harrison from Meadow Lake, Gordon Wyant from Saskatoon Northwest and Ken Cheveldayoff from Saskatoon Willowgrove. Scott Moe from Rosthern-Shellbrook resigned from cabinet Aug. 28, and is expected to announce his intentions this week. Nominations must be filed by Nov. 24 and the winner will be selected by preferential ballot on Jan. 27, 2018. Wall announced in early August he would resign as soon as a new leader is chosen. karen.briere@producer.com

CRIME PREVENTION

Team takes aim against rural crime The Protection and Response Team has been formed with funding from SGI and the Sask. gov’t BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Rural organizations say the establishment of a new response team is a first step toward curbing crime in rural Saskatchewan. Justice minister Gordon Wyant last week announced a Protection and Response Team comprised of 258 armed officers to improve response time and enhance visibility. The team will include 120 police officers, 98 conservation officers from the environment ministry, a n d 4 0 c o m m e rc i a l v e h i c l e enforcement officers from highways. The police contingent will be comprised of 60 positions currently allocated to the Combined Traffic Services Saskatchewan Initiative, 30 new positions and 30 re-purposed positions. Conservation officers currently wear sidearms and will be able to arrest and detain suspects. Vehicle enforcement officers will be armed, after appropriate training, and also gain arrest and detention powers. Wyant said any one of these officers could be the first on scene when a call for help is placed. He said the team should be fully staffed before the end of the fiscal year. SGI will contribute $4.9 million to the team and several other initiatives, and another $1 million will come from justice. Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities president Ray Orb said RMs wanted greater visibility and shorter response times and this team appears to promise that. But he said it is just one part of a larger effort that will be required by both responders and rural residents.

“I think we’re going to come up with the conclusion that the work is really just beginning,” he said after hearing the announcement. “We’ve got a lot of work to do on some of these files.” The team and other recommendations came from a caucus committee on rural crime formed last fall, several months after the shooting death of Colton Boushie on a far m near Biggar led to heightened tension between First Nations and farmers.

Cattle thefts, break and enters and the general response time to emergencies in the country are all issues cattle producers and ranchers face every day. RYAN BEIERBACH SASKATCHEWAN CATTLEMEN’S ASSOCIATION

Then, a controversial SARM resolution calling for rural residents’ ability to defend themselves and their property created more divide. But Orb noted the motion did not mention First Nations people at all. “The (Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations) felt that it was directed at them and that was not the case,” Orb said. SARM, the Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association and Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association have a working group looking at ways to deter crime. SCA president Ryan Beierbach said it would work with RCMP and government ministries to make sure “real improvements” happen. “Cattle thefts, break and enters

and the general response time to emergencies in the country are all issues cattle producers and ranchers face every day,” Beierbach said. The best way to deal with cattle rustling is listed among the tasks for the justice ministry. The other seven recommendations the government is acting on include: • examining ways to allow two or more RMs to jointly administer alternative policing programs; • writing the federal justice minister to request of a review of the Youth Criminal Justice Act, with a view to striking a balance between accountability and rehabilitation; • installing automatic license plate readers in all PRT vehicles; • working with First Nations to develop better on-reserve programming; • working with RCMP to establish school liaison officers in rural areas where schools request them and to re-establish Rural Crime Watch; • working with First Nations and the western provinces to build a First Nations-led aboriginal gang strategy; • funding new positions to target illicit drugs that are driving property crime, such as crystal meth and fentanyl. Orb said 22 of the province’s 296 RMs are currently members of Rural Crime Watch. That’s up from just two last year, and he said he liked the RCMP idea of a provincial association of rural crime watch members. He said rural residents have to crime-proof their property as much as possible. Wyant said that Innovation Saskatchewan will be tasked with finding potential technological solutions.

“If we think we’re getting innovative and we’re using better communications the criminals are using the same modes,” Orb observed. Wyant also said practices in rural areas could change, such as revitalizing rural crime watch. “Farms were a lot smaller than they are today and neighbours could keep an eye on their neighbours and that’s not the case anymore,” he said. “Farms are much larger and neighbours don’t have an opportunity to do that, so what kind of solutions could be brought to that.” Curtis Zablocki, assistant commissioner of the RCMP in Saskatchewan, said he expected there would be some growing pains as the integrated unit forms but that in the long run it could better address challenges. Kevin Murphy, assistant deputy minister of environment responsible for resource management and compliance, said the team is a way to optimize all the training that conservation officers have. “They’re trained to the exact same standard as our RCMP officers for use of force. They’re interoperable,” he said. “They already assist the RCMP with things like manhunts, chases, evidence securement, things like that in many of the rural areas.” They will however need training in things like how to deal with fentanyl, for example. Commercial vehicle enforcement officers are trained in force and carry batons but will undertake firearms training.

CANOLA

Clubroot makes debut in Peace Region canola BY JEREMY SIMES EDMONTON BUREAU

Clubroot has now climbed into the Peace region — and its recent discovery will change the way canola farmers operate in the area’s southeastern corner. Alberta Canola announced Aug. 23 that one case of the serious soilborne disease was found in a canola crop in Big Lakes County, which surrounds much of Lesser Slave Lake. Dan Orchard, an agronomist with the Canola Council of Canada who represents northern Alberta, said the case in the Peace isn’t widespread. “It’s really quite isolated,” he said, noting Big Lakes neighbours counties to the south and east where the disease has already been detected. “It’s fortunate that the grower and the agronomist he’s working with were so diligent at catching it and are now dealing with it. It’s been a blessing.” Up until the discovery of the disease, which spreads via soil, Peace region farmers hardly had to worry about clubroot. This meant some growers had short rotation cycles for canola. Now, farmers with the disease in their communities are going to have to plant clubroot-resistant varieties in intervals of at least three years — which is what their southern neighbours in the Edmonton region have been doing for a little over a decade, Orchard said. “Resistant varieties are going to be a huge help, but they’ll have to be rotated properly,” he said. “In some situations, a two- or

Clubroot causes galls that restrict water and nutrient flow to the stem and leaves. | FILE PHOTO three-year break isn’t even long enough.” Other ways producers can reduce the spread of clubroot include minimizing soil movement between fields via equipment, cleaning machinery more thoroughly, reducing tillage, scouting fields more frequently, and avoiding purchases of hay or straw from contaminated regions. Greg Sears, chair of Alberta Canola Producers Commission, agreed that longer rotation cycles are the best way to combat the disease. When it’s not canola’s turn, planting pulses or non-host crops, like oats, could be good options, he said. “Clubroot was eventually going to happen,” Sears said. “It’s not a magical land in the Peace and it wasn’t going to be immune forever, as much as we would love to think it’s an area separated by green space. The reality is, it’s not.”

Clubroot infects the crop’s roots and causes irregular club-like galls that restrict the flow of water and nutrients to leaves, stems and pods. Symptoms include wilting, stunted growth, yellowing, premature ripening and shrivelled seed. Though producers shouldn’t assume anything, clubroot can be diagnosed by closely examining the roots, according to Alberta Agriculture on its website. “You want to be diligent, pulling out plants at the entrance and inspecting the root to be well ahead of it,” Orchard said. The disease can also be detrimental for yields. If a field is almost entirely infected, yield losses can reach 50 percent, Alberta Agriculture stated. If infestations range from 10 to 20 percent of the field, losses can range from five to 10 percent. Orchard said clubroot is generally found in patches and not throughout an entire field, which means the affect on yields is fairly minimal. “Showing below-ground symptoms early is the ultimate find,” he said. “Often there isn’t total devastation because people are finding it earlier, which is a huge help.” He said the current situation in the Peace region is an opportunity for agronomists and producers to get ahead of the disease and control it, unlike the Edmonton-area outbreak in 2003. “I don’t see it taking over like it has in central Alberta,” he said. “I see a bright side to finding it early so it’s managed properly.” jeremy.simes@producer.com

dispute settlement mechanism,” said Herman. Chapter 19 disputes have been rare. Agriculture trade has been one of the more involved areas, with a number of disputes, but the last one settled through it was the 2 0 0 3 d i s p u t e ov e r Ca na d i a n durum. Canadian industries and trade negotiators like having Chapter 19 as a weapon against unjustified U.S. trade actions, and to deter their introduction, but Herman said Canada isn’t powerless without it, if it was eliminated. “We now have a pretty mature and robust WTO system,” said Herman. “It takes a long time, but so does Chapter 19, frankly.” Nobody knows how serious Trump is about terminating NAFTA, or how make-or-break an issue Chapter 19 is for the U.S., but so far the threats don’t appear to be rattling most Canadian farmer and industry representatives. “Contrary to the impression left by media reporting, Canada would continue to have access to the U.S. market,” said Herman. ed.white@producer.com

CROP INSURANCE

Sask. ag spending millions over budget The number of insured acres were more than expected BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Sa skatchewan agr i cultural spending is projected to rise $40.7 million over budget because more farmers bought crop insurance than expected this year, said finance minister Kevin Doherty. The first quarter financial results, released Aug. 25, showed overall expenses are forecast to be up $81.9 million, or 0.6 percent, from budget, while revenue is expected to be $42 million higher. Sask. Crop Insurance Corp. CEO Shawn Jaques said officials had estimated farmers would insure 27.5 million acres. Instead, they insured 28.3 million acres.

SHAWN JAQUES SASK. CROP INSURANCE CORP.

“The actual insured acres is down, but up from what we forecast them to be,” Jaques said, adding farmers insured 29.1 million acres last year. This resulted in extra premium costs to governments above the budget estimate and accounts for most of the $40 million. There is a small corresponding revenue offset of $15.4 million representing the portion of premiums farmers paid. Jaques said the budget estimates were based on what happened in 2016. There had been a large increase in pulse acres and a lot of crop left out over winter.

“We anticipated a percentage of those acres would remain unseeded and that pulse acres would decrease,” he said. This happened to a degree. He said farmers worked hard this spring to get crop off and re-seed, and lentil acreage did decline. Jaques added that staff is finalizing claims from last year. The government has said it expects about $650 million in payouts largely because of the wet harvest. Producers registered about 800 pre-harvest claims to put crops to alternate use this year, mostly by livestock producers who are short of feed and pasture. Doherty said it’s far too early to tell what effect this year’s crop will have on the budget. “What we’re hearing from the minister of agriculture, and the ministry of agriculture, is that crops are doing better than they had anticipated,” he told reporters. Jaques said farmers have told him they are pleasantly surprised with yield and quality so far. The warm, windy weather of late is exactly what they needed, he said. In early August, Jaques posted a letter to producers acknowledging the expected yield losses in the south. “We have developed a process to expedite claims in the areas where we know crop losses will be significant as a result of the dry conditions,” said the letter. “We are also prepared to move adjusters around the province to areas where additional resources are needed to handle the workload.” Producers are asked to submit production information as soon as they have finished harvest so claims can be calculated and payments can be made as soon as possible. karen.briere@producer.com

PROPOSED TAX CHANGES

Succession questions answered BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

When Merle Good looks at all the changes and complexities introduced by proposed changes to farm taxes, he understands why farmers might get confused. But the Alberta farm succession and estate planning specialist says farmers can understand a lot by just thinking about three pointed questions, rather than all the fine print, at least as a start:

FED’S TAX CHANGES » CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 The changes to incorporated farms include: • rules to make it more difficult and risky for full-time farmers to share farm income with spouses and children; • regulations that could make it dangerous to use farm earnings to help pay for children’s post-secondary education; • rules that discourage farms from renting out their land or saving cash within a farm company; • changes that could make it risky to divide ownership of a family farm’s land base among a number of children, while allowing the land block to remain intact; • rules that encourage farmers to sell their land to neighbours or strangers rather than their own children. The proposed changes are part of a package of changes that would be the biggest revision to the tax code since the early 1970s and are designed to close loopholes that enable some people to dodge taxes. Some of the implications for farmers do not appear to be coming from a direct attempt to address problems with farmers, but rather are designed to get at corporate tax shelters that have been accused of being abused by high income earners. It’s a frustrating situation for Elaine Froese, a succession and family relations coach, who has spent years extolling the virtues of careful forward planning. Now she worries farmers will be put off by the changes and the uncertainty itself and complicate the huge intergenerational transfer of farms coming to the Prairies. Nobody wants to think the succession plan they have in the box might be … in question,” said Froese.

Ron Bonnett, the president of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, said his organization is worki n g w i t h b u s i n e s s g ro u p s t o address the dangers of the proposed changes. “The effects on farmers could be severe,” he said. Presently, farmers are able to income split by designating different portions of a farm’s income to family members how they choose.

It’s all grey. We’re going to have a whole ream of litigation, CRA audits, and it’s going to take years before anybody has any solid guidance. RON FRIESEN FARM TAX SPECIALIST

Under the proposed rules, each person receiving dividends from the farm would have to justify their portion based on labour contributed, capital invested, risk assumed and other factors. If a family member was found to have claimed an “unreasonable” share of income from the farm, their excess drawings would be taxed at the personal highest rate, rather than as a dividend. Farm taxation specialist Ron Friesen of MNP in Saskatoon said farm families cannot afford to take any of these proposed changes lightly. They are scheduled to be implemented in 2018, the costs and penalties could be severe, and they could disrupt farm management as well as retirement and succession planning, he said. Farm spouses need to begin recording all their contributions to the farm in case the taxman decides they aren’t contributing as much as they are trying to take.

“It’s very important to start documenting everything that you do,” said Friesen. “What’s her work worth? How are you ever going to deter mine (that)?” Many aspects of farm family financial management would be affected by these changes. For instance, many farms fund their children’s university education by paying their children dividends from the family farm. After 2018, they won’t be able to do that without putting risk on those children that the Canadian Revenue Agency might deem them to be abusing the system and hit them with a big tax bill for the money they receive from the farm. “It makes it much more difficult to meet the reasonableness tests for somebody between the ages of 18 and 24,” said Friesen. A l t o g e t h e r, t h e c h a n g e s t o income splitting will bring much uncertainty and risk for farmers and any family members drawing money from the family farm. “It’s all grey,” said Friesen. “We’re going to have a whole ream of litigation, CRA audits, and it’s going to take years before anybody has any solid guidance.” Passing land on to children could also become risky because if the children are considered to be non-farmers, they could be hit with a big bill as if they had received money, even if the land is not touched and a family member is still farming it. Farmers also cannot transfer their personally owned land into a farm corporation they control, or into one owned by a family member, without exposing them to a risk that the CRA will consider the purchase ineligible for the capital gains tax exemption many farmers use when retiring and establishing a retirement fund. The rules as stated appear to make it preferable for a farmer to sell land to a neighbour than to

keep it in the family. Farm succession and retirement planning expert Merle Good was shocked by that proposed change and thinks it is unreasonable to impose on farm families. “They should make (inside family land transfers) exempt if the land stays in the family,” said Good. “That maintains the family unit.” He sees the fundamental problem with the changes coming from the application of an approach designed for small corporations like doctors’ practices and other low-capital professional businesses to a capital-intensive, multiperson, multigenerational industry like farming. “They have not looked at how these rules affect a resource industry,” said Good. “You can’t have the same rules apply to an income industry as you apply to a resourcebased industry.” The proposed tax changes have brought a deluge of outrage from farm tax planners, accountants, succession planners and others who advise farmers on farm structure and planning. They have also brought howls of outrage from farm groups. National media outlets have taken notice and the feedback is starting to reach the ears of politicians. But the changes are open for discussion only until Oct. 2, so farmfocused professionals and farmer representatives are urging farmers to talk to tax-planning professionals immediately. And they urge farmers to let the government know about how its proposed changes could hurt the family farm. “What a horrible time of year to do this,” exclaimed Froese, wondering how many hard-working farm families will be able to take time off during harvest to meet with accountants and planners, and respond to the government. ed.white@producer.com

1) Will I be penalized if I sell my land to my own farm corporation or a family member’s farm corporation, rather than selling to a stranger, when I move toward retirement? Unfortunately, the answer is probably “yes.” The tax changes appear to prevent a farmer selling his land to his own or a family member’s company and by claiming their capital gains tax exemption create a tax paid shareholder loan. In other words, they could claim the exemption, but the proceeds received from the family owned company could be deemed to be a dividend rather than a capital gain, and taxed anyway. That would not apply, however, if the land was sold to a neighbour. 2) Will my family be penalized if I transfer land to a child? The answer is also probably “yes.” Any gain in the value of the land between the child’s birth and their 18th birthday is not eligible for their capital gains tax exemption. If the child sells the land in the future, the tax-free portion would be massively reduced, depending upon the gain over those 18 years, creating a significant tax liability. 3) Will I be penalized for holding cash or other non-farming assets within a farm corporation as I build up capital to make future asset purchases? The answer here is a “maybe.” The government’s intentions here have not been spelled out, but if farmers are not allowed to hold more than 10 percent of the value of a farm in non-farm assets, farmers might have trouble building up enough money for future land or machinery purchases. The federal government hits Tax Free Savings Accounts with penalties if people contribute too much into them, so could the same sort of penalties be applied to farm corporations that have too high a proportion of cash? That remains to be seen, Good said. Farmers need to talk to their accounting and tax professionals, because the implications of any of these situations, some of which are retroactive, and which could have a major effect on a farm family’s finances and succession planning. As well, there are many more questions that need to be addressed and considered, without much time to do so, Good said. ed.white@producer.com

the past seven years. Perillat said there’s little evidence of expansion. Heifer retention is just enough to keep the herd stable. Canadian cows are trading at a premium relative to the U.S. so local demand has been strong. On the slaughter side, Perillat said capacity saw a small uptick when Harmony Beef in Calgary began operations. The two major plants, Cargill at High River and JBS at Brooks, are running at capacity and packers’ margins are doing well. Because of capacity at plants, a few more fed cattle are being exported but Perillat didn’t note any major volume. On the feeder side, “our exports were down significantly over a couple years ago. We’re down again this year…. Cattle are staying in Canada to get fed and slaughtered.” Beef exports are up almost six percent, year to date, which equates to about $2.5 billion. Canada exports about 45 percent of its beef production, most of it to the U.S., and imports about 20 percent of the beef consumed.

CALGARY — Dry conditions in parts of the Prairies might bring an earlier than usual fall calf run but so far those same conditions haven’t resulted in more cows coming to town. Brian Perillat, senior analyst at Canfax, gave a generally bullish analysis Aug. 17 to those at the Canadian Beef Cattle Industry Conference, but noted this year might bring some feed cost challenges. “We’ve had a pretty good feed cost advantage for all of last year, a lot of feed wheat around and feed barley supplies were fairly ample. “This year, the U.S. corn crop sounds to be fairly positive. We’ve certainly got our production challenges up here.… It’s a little bit too early to start calling how bad it’s going to be or how much less we’re going to have but nonetheless we’ve seen our barley prices creep up much quicker than corn.” Feeders are unlikely to have access to large feed wheat supplies this year, unlike last year when disease issues and a wet har vest wreaked havoc with quality grades and made more feed wheat available. On the cow side, Perillat said August is often the peak cull cow market but that hasn’t materialized this year. Cow prices peaked in early June and Alberta cows have been trading at a premium compared to those in the United States. “Given dry conditions, we haven’t seen … a flush of cows come to market, which has been positive. I think there’s a lot of carryover grass and pretty good subsoil moisture coming into this year, so we haven’t seen a flush of cows being liquidated by any means, and that’s despite the fact that we are seeing

Russia may set wheat production, export record SovEcon pegs wheat at 78.9 million tonnes MOSCOW (Reuters) — Global wheat prices are again under pressure as the production problems in North America are more than offset by the record breaking harvest that Russian farmers are currently gathering. SovEcon, one of the leading agriculture consultancies in Moscow, last week raised its forecast for Russia’s 2017-18 grain exports. Total grain exports are pegged at 44 million tonnes of which wheat exports are forecast at 32.4 million tonnes, up 400,000 from the last report and up more than four million from last year Russia will likely be the world’s largest wheat exporter in the 201718 marketing year. SovEcon’s wheat export forecast is higher than the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s forecast of 31.5 million tonnes. SovEcon, raised its forecast for the 2017 overall grain crop to 127.6 million tonnes from 125.2 million. Of that, it pegged wheat at 78.9 million tonnes, up one million from its last forecast and 1.4 million more than the current USDA forecast. That would be a record, beating last year’s crop by about five million tonnes. While SovEcon’s wheat crop estimate rose by one million tonnes, the export outlook climbed by only 400,000 tonnes because of possible infrastructure constraints, Andrey Sizov, managing director at SovEcon, told a conference in Moscow. The arrival of a record harvest is expected severely to test Russia’s crop storage and transport infrastructure. Those constraints are likely to become more visible in the coming months, SovEcon said. As of Aug. 24, Russian farmers had harvested 83 million tonnes of grain from 46 percent of the total area. Among the risks for its crop and export estimates remain Russia’s wheat crop in the Asian part of the country and corn, as the bulk of both has yet to be harvested.

SovEcon said it expected the government to buy a million tonnes of grain for its stocks and to raise it to five million tonnes this season. Further government purchases will face financial constraints unless more funding comes from the state budget. Moscow is trying to reduce a budget deficit caused by weaker oil prices. Year end 2017-18 grain stocks are expected to rise to 28.9 million tonnes from 21.3 million at the end of 2016-17 added. Ukraine also has a big wheat crop that is mostly already harvested. USDA put the Ukraine wheat harvest at 26.5 million tonnes, about the same as last year, with exports at 16 million, down from 18 million last year.

CALGARY — A deal that reopened beef trade between the United States and China, announced in May, won’t see major product flow for at least three years, says an American beef trade expert. Don Close, vice-president of animal protein with Rabo AgriFinance, said it will take at least that long for the U.S. beef supply chain to meet China’s requirements. “Our perspective is that it holds incredible, incredible opportunities but it’s also going to be a slow start,” Close said about beef trade with China. “It’s our view that it will probably be three to five years before we really find the balance of the production requirements of the source verified traceability, of the ranch of origin or import on the cattle, the NHTC (non-hormone treated cattle) requirements and the (non) ractopamine. What does that mean for the U.S. production model and what items will China buy and how will we get that distributed?” China has been closed to beef from the U.S. since 2003. It imports about US$2.5 billion worth of beef annually and is considered to be the world’s fastest growing beef market. Speaking to those at the Canadian Beef Industry Conference, Close added that China attaches high consumer confidence to e-commerce methods of ordering meat on-line and having it delivered directly to homes. That same trend is coming to North America, and has already started in major urban areas.

FUEL YOUR

“If you do not think we’re going to rapidly transition our food purchases from conventional grocery stores to on-line, you’re kidding yourself. And there’s a whole host of ramifications that come with that.” Conventional retail grocery stores are already losing market share to discount stores, big box stores and high-end specialty markets, said Close. Competition from e-commerce will further alter current retail beef sales scene.

DON CLOSE RABO AGRIFINANCE

“Think about how we distribute meat, beef. We have boxes of primals come from the packer, go to a distribution centre and then … distributed to stores, and it is trimmed, portion cut, thrown in a foam tray and put on the counter. “If we make this conversion to an e-commerce structure, is our industry really in the best position, and what transition will that require?” Close also noted rapid development of Mexico’s cattle feeding and processing industry, which he deemed “mind boggling.” Recent figures indicate Mexico has 1.6 million head on feed, compared to about one million in Canada.

ENGINES

“I think its really, really time that we persuade Mexico to … collect and distribute monthly cattle-onfeed numbers so we can calculate a North America cattle-on-feed number,” he said. Mexico is also second only to Israel in the number of bilateral trade agreements it has with other countries. Though Japan is considered the hot ticket in beef trade today, Close said an aging population there might make it less attractive in the future because import amounts are likely to decline. The U.S., Canada and Australia compete for market share in Japan, even though they deal with tariff rate quotas that can trigger tariffs of up to 50 percent. Close said Australia has large quantities of beef in inventory. That combined with a drought that could force higher slaughter could bring lots of low cost product into the global trading mix. As for the U.S. situation, Close said the cow herd is growing but at a slower pace than the previous two years. “We’re looking for another year, possibly two years of overall cow herd growth but at a really slow pace.” barb.glen@producer.com

STATISTICS CANADA

FORECAST ACCURACY

August crop forecasts tend to underestimate

In recent years, final production of canola and wheat was usually greater than what Statistics Canada forecast in its first survey of farmers released in August. In the U.S., the final tally of soybean production was also larger than the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s August report. The USDA’s August forecast of wheat production was fairly accurate because much of the U.S. crop has been harvested by that point.

MARKET WATCH

D’ARCE McMILLAN

Statistics Canada: (million tonnes) Canola

rying to forecast final production when the crop is still growing is like shooting at a fast-moving target. Statistics Canada planned to release its first projection of Canada’s 2017 crop on Aug. 31, after this column was written. We’ll have full same-day coverage on our website and also in next week’s paper. The forecast, which is an assessment of production potential as of July, is based on a farmer survey in late July and early August. Forecasting production is never easy, but will be complicated this year by a wide range of growing conditions, from drought in southern Saskatchewan to late seeding and saturated fields in some parts of the northern grainbelt, but also good production prospects elsewhere. The StatsCan numbers are often almost dismissed by private analysts because fast changing weather can rapidly alter production prospects. And there is a constituency of farmers, likely small, but vocal, who believe that Statistics Canada always overstates the size of the harvest to keep crop prices down and promote a sinister and secret cheap food policy pursued by governments of all political stripes, in league with the multinational food companies. There is a similar belief among some American farmers about the forecasting of the United States

August

But the experience is actually the opposite. In the past five years, the early government forecasts have understated the final true production, which is confirmed by testing again the amount of grain that was marketed through the year and year-end stocks. In four of the past five years, the canola crop turned out bigger than StatsCan’s August forecast. Only in 2012 was it smaller. In the all-wheat category, final production was higher than the August forecast in five of five years, although in 2012 the difference between August and the final numbers was negligible. In two years, the final canola production was much higher than the August forecast — 2013 production was 26.5 percent bigger and the 2015 crop was a whopping 38.3 percent bigger. These August reports do not lower grain prices. They actually help to support them at a level higher than what the final production

would justify. The experience is similar with the August U.S. Department of Agriculture reports, which over the past five years consistently under reported the soybean production potential. The U.S. all-wheat numbers were accurate because by August the winter crop is already in the bin and combines are starting to cut the spring crop. By this I don’t mean to suggest that StatsCan and the USDA are deliberately under reporting. I think they are doing the best they can, but the data is imperfect. In the surveys, farmers are likely cautious in their yield projections and other ways that the government forecasters use to test the accuracy of the surveys, such as satellite imagery or actual in-field measurements are at best a snapshot in time. Also, the newer crop variety genetics are proving better able to stand up to stress than in the past. Production forecasts in the coming months will provide a more

accurate assessment of final production. One related issue already being asked in the U.S. this year is about the relationship between the monthly production forecasts and the weekly crop condition reports. For much of the growing season the weekly condition report said the soybean crop was doing worse than the 10-year average. And yet the USDA in August raised its soybean yield forecast to 49.4 bushels an acre from 48 bu. in the July forecast. At that level it would be the second best yield ever and above the long-term trend line. How can a crop reported to be in worse condition than the 10-year average produce such a high yield forecast? That is one that analysts, academics and USDA statisticians will likely debate throughout the 201718 crop year.

GRAIN MARKETING

Growers need to hone marketing skills to get best price HEDGE ROW

ED WHITE

armers have eased into the post-Canadian Wheat Board world far more easily than some warned and others feared. But farmers still have a lot to learn about this evolving market, because even the best and brightest marketers are still working through the complications of western Canadian wheat and barley markets. If farmers don’t boost their understanding, they will be stuck in the situation of having to accept (or be suspicious of) grain companies’ and marketers’ prices and opinions. Wheat is a much more complicated market than canola or pulses, with elements many farmers don’t yet grasp.

That’s a conclusion that struck me after meeting with two western Canadian marketing and hedging experts and seeing how dynamically they’re working together to form ways of pricing grain that creates a program that makes sense to farmers. “It’s being on top of it,” noted David Derwin, a portfolio manager and derivatives specialist with P.I. Financial in Winnipeg, when we met the other day. Prairie pricing and basis expert John De Pape agreed. “There’s an opportunity to do better,” said De Pape. Although each is an expert in his own area and well-versed in the other parts of Prairie grain marketing, they’ve been working together to pool skills and develop better marketing programs. That collaboration strikes me as an intelligent approach and something farmers could learn from. Nobody should assume they are smart enough to have all the angles covered, especially in something as new and fast-evolving as the prairie wheat and barley market. U.S. farmers have decades of experience with the complexities

DAVID DERWIN P.I. FINANCIAL

of the wheat market, but many of those complexities did not exist in Canada during the decades of the CWB monopoly, with the board taking care of (or concealing) many of the signals that U.S. growers have learned to read and follow. That leaves Canadian farmers playing catch-up with a number of factors: • interpreting basis signals • understanding carry • comprehending the signals that spreads between qualities, crops and locations are sending • Grasping how to use the wide array of pricing choices now available, from futures and options to basis and flat price contracts.

Many farmers are used to letting the grain companies handle these complexities for them. Lots prefer to get a flat price from the elevator and leave all the complications to the grain company to manage. O t h e r s h av e e m b r a c e d t h e blossoming of marketing advisory services in the post-CWB dawn, including people like Derwin and De Pape, growing comp a n i e s l i k e A g r i -T r e n d a n d FarmLink, and a host of local and regional advisers. But letting the grain company handle all the variables of a flat price contract, or hiring an adviser to follow the markets and provide hedging and selling recommendations doesn’t remove the need for the farmer to understand all the components they are analyzing. Of course grain companies like offering flat prices. They can lock in comfortable margins within that composite price. But how does a farmer know whether that is a fat or thin margin? And of course advisers make informed recommendations. But how do you know they’re any good at what they’re doing? Saying

you’re an expert doesn’t necessarily mean you are actually good, but how is a farmer to know? Catching up on all the concepts underlying the grain markets is the key, and farmers shouldn’t think they don’t need to do that just because they have become comfortable with the various ways of pricing that have evolved in the past five years. Derwin and De Pape both said they’d like their clients to be more informed, because then they can more easily explain why they’re making their recommendations. There are probably marketers out there who don’t really want that, because with understanding comes a bigger possibility for questioning or challenging recommendations. But if farmers want to get as much out of the market as they can, understanding the market is essential, even if they are eventually going to accept what the grain company offers or adviser recommends. Informed consent is infinitely preferable to blind faith or resignation. ed.white@producer.com

FED CATTLE LOWER

The USDA’s report showed July placements at 1.615 million head, which was 55 million below the average forecast of 1.670 million. | FILE PHOTO FEEDLOT TALLY

U.S. feedlot cattle placements smaller than analysts expected CHICAGO (Reuters) – U.S. ranchers in July placed 2.7 percent more cattle in U.S. feedlots than a year ago, but fell short of average analysts’ forecasts. Dwindling profits for feedyards, reflecting weaker fed cattle prices, discouraged them from buying calves for fattening, said analysts following the U.S. Department of Agriculture cattle on feed report Aug. 25. Ranchers had expected lower prices by late summer and earlier this year were rushing cattle to market to beat the downturn. Cattle that entered feedlots in July could begin arriving at packing plants in early 2018. Chicago Mercantile Exchange cattle futures open higher in the

trading session after the report, reflecting the bullish placement outcome. USDA’s report showed July placements at 1.615 million head, up from 1.572 million a year earlier and below the average forecast of 1.670 million. Still, it was the largest July placement figure since 1.684 million in 2013. The feedlot cattle supply as of Aug. 1 was 10.604 million head, up 4.3 percent from 10.165 million a year ago. Analysts, on average, forecast a 4.7 percent increase. The number of cattle sold to packers, or marketings, were up 4.1 percent in July from a year ago, to 1.784 million head. Analysts expected a gain of 4.9 percent from

1.713 million last year. “Cattle feeders are facing clear losses in the months ahead due to their very heavy placement schedule in the previous eight months,” said Allendale Inc. chief strategist Rich Nelson. The Denver-based Livestock Marketing Information Center calculated that feedlots in July, on average, made a profit of US$40 per steer sold versus $84 the month before. They project August margins at minus $20 per head. Friday’s report will ease some concerns about supplies during the first half of 2018, but does not change the outlook for significant cattle numbers during the fall, said Nelson.

MIDWEST CROP TOUR

Crop tour corn, soybean forecasts similar to USDA REUTERS NEWS AGENCY AND STAFF

The U.S. Midwest crop tour sponsored by advisory service Pro Farmer last week disappointed market watcher who thought it would provide a much different view of U.S. production prospects than the August U.S. Department of Agriculture report. That report had a surprisingly high soybean crop forecast.

But what the tour saw did not deviate that much from the USDA report. The tour pegged the U.S. soy crop at a record 4.331 billion bushels, only a little less than the USDA forecast of 4.381 billion. Pro Farmer, a division of Farm Journal Media, estimated U.S. soy yield at 48.5 bu. per acre, a little lower than the USDA’s prediction of 49.4 bu. per acre.

Tour scouts found fewer soybean pods than in 2016 in the top three producing states of Iowa, Illinois and Minnesota, which could limit yields at harvest. The tour corn forecast was 13.953 billion bu., down from USDA’s forecast of 14.153 billion bu. The tour’s average corn yield forecast was 167.1 bu. per acre, shy of the USDA’s forecast of 169.5 bu.

The fed steer weighted average was $138.53 per hundredweight, down $3.54 and heifers were $136.55, down $4.28. Dressed prices were $6-$7 per cwt. lower than the previous week. For the past eight weeks, fed prices have been tracking slightly below the five-year historic trend. Sale volumes for the week were moderate. Feedlots however, were not overly aggressive sellers and a significant portion of the fed offering was carried over. For the second week in a row, the Alberta cash-to-cash basis was at a premium to Nebraska and strengthened to +$4.46. Western Canadian fed slaughter for the week ending Aug. 19 rose 23 percent to 43,038 head. For the year slaughter is up eight percent. Weekly exports to Aug. 12 were steady at 6,032 head. For the year they are up eight percent. The five-year historical price trend indicates prices should fall through to the first week of October. If fed prices continue to follow the trend, fed prices could bottom in the low to mid $130s. This would put annual lows at a whopping 30 percent below the spring high reached in the first week of May. Summer demand is waning and packers are expected to remain short bought. In the U.S., scattered live trade was reported $3 lower in the south with trade at US$106-$107 per cwt. Rail sales in the north developed midweek with prices $4-$5 lower, mostly at $170.

more than half of the total auction mart volume. Most of the cattle on offer are yearlings. Calf volumes are very light, other than a few cow-calf pairs being split at auction. In the forward delivery calf market, buyers are looking for weight as there is very little price slide being bid into the fall market. Steers weighing from 600-699 pounds across the Prairies for October-November delivery saw a weighted average of $204.27 per cwt. based at 617 lb., whereas 500599 lb. steers settled at $209.86 based at 540 lb. Heifer calves 500 lb. for fall delivery are trading $24-$30 lower than same weight steers, while heifers 600 lb. are $12-$26 behind steers. This is largely dependent on whether replacements are being retained or sold. Interest from the east has been noted, but demand has not been as aggressive as in recent years. Eastern Canadian fed prices have been at a discount to the Alberta market for the better part of this year. Feeder cattle traditionally move toward the cheapest grain source. The U.S. now has a cost of gain advantage over Alberta, and there has been talk of importing U.S. corn. For now, local feedlots are willing to bid a premium into the market to keep calves and feeders at home. Last week, Alberta calf and feeder values were at a $2-$9 premium over the U.S.

COWS LOWER BEEF LOWER D1, D2 cow ranged C$93-$106 to average $99, down 42 cents. D3 cows ranged $84-$95 to average $90.07. Rail grade cows ranged $184$189 per cwt. Western Canadian cow slaughter volumes totalled 6,120 head two weeks ago, the third largest volume over the past 15 weeks. So far in August, cow slaughter volumes are up 2,150 head compared to last year at the same point. Alberta prices have a $12 premium against the U.S. and $8 over Ontario markets. Non-fed supplies are expected to increase into September but should remain manageable. Over the next month, it is possible D1, D2 cows could average $94-$98 thanks to a resilient trim market.

In the week to Aug. 24, Choice fell $3.88 to US$191.75 per cwt. and Select dropped $5.54 to $188.66. The Choice cutout is now four percent lower and Select is three percent lower compared to last year. Canadian boxed beef prices for the week ending Aug. 12 traded steady to lower with AAA up 44 cents per cwt and AA down $1.83 per cwt.

DISPELLING MISINFORMATION

Educating urbanites key to agriculture’s prosperity

or David Miller, the “Aha!” moment came during a meeting with Chicagoarea soccer moms and mommy bloggers, the women who discuss and disseminate information — some right, some wrong — about food and its production. Miller is the research and commodity services director for the Iowa Farm Bureau, and the meeting was designed to address the areas of disconnect between agriculture and urban consumers. The farm bureau and other agricultural groups always say most farms are family owned and operated, the moms said. But that can’t be true, because during any drive along highways and byways, all those signs in the fields say the land is owned by DeKalb or Syngenta or (insert name of seed company here.) Miller said the farm folk around the table were flummoxed. Then they realized the urban moms thought that company signs indicating the type of seed grown in various fields was instead a statement of ownership. “It was this total miscommunication with the consuming public, where they thought ‘well, that’s big ag. Corporate agriculture owns all of that’,” recounted Miller. “Well, no they don’t. It became an “aha!” moment of learning, of teachability, of things that are jargon inside of agriculture. We all know what those signs meant, but outside (of the farm culture) they didn’t know anymore. “They were far removed from the farms, but they travel on the interstates and they hear the stories about Monsanto or big ag or some of those, and factory farming, and so they made their own assumptions.”

Miller’s story is a sobering example of the divide between urban and rural views, which widens as the general population becomes generationally removed from the farm. His tale came out of the United States, but it could have happened in Canada. Maybe it has. It makes one wonder what other areas of miscommunication exist regarding food production. At first blush, farmers might scoff at the idea of seed company advertising being interpreted as signs of ownership. On reflection, however, it makes perfect sense. Signs on stores in cities tell people who owns what. Why wouldn’t the same be true on farmland in the country? Sure, seed companies could make the purpose of those little signs more obvious. But even if they could impart the true message for a driver behind the wheel of a speeding car, that’s not really the point. The point is, this rural-urban gap has got to be bridged. Farmers have to meet consumers at least halfway, and maybe even further. “People fill in what they don’t know based upon what little they do know … and often that picture is not what reality is,” says Miller. At almost every farm meeting — and we attend a lot of them — attendees are encouraged to explain to consumers and the general public why they do the things they do and farm the way they farm. It’s best to do that while it is still a matter of education rather than survival.

LIBERAL REPORT CARD

Review of campaign promises shows progress, but few results CAPITAL LETTERS

KELSEY JOHNSON

t’s been nearly two years since the October 2015 election where Canadian voters gave Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his Liberals a majority government. It was a campaign full of promises. Several touched on agriculture. So, how many of those promises have they been able fulfill since taking office? An easy way to figure it out is to look back at Agriculture Minister Lawrence MacAulay’s mandate letter from Trudeau that lists his top priorities for the agriculture file. Let’s start with innovation. During the 2015 election campaign, the Liberals promised to create a $160 million value added

investment fund specifically for agriculture – a commitment reiterated (minus the dollar amount) in MacAulay’s letter. Have they delivered? The short answer: kind of. No specific fund for the country’s food processing sector has been developed. However, agriculture has been granted special access to Ottawa’s promised $1.2 billion Strategic Investment Fund announced in Budget 2017. The federal government is merging several investment funds that are already in existence as well as adding $200 million in new money to the pot over the next three years. However, while Canada’s agriculture sector has been told they will be able to apply for that money there is no specific fund that is totally designated for food processing. Government insiders insist the farm and food sectors will be able to access the money given the industry has been flagged as priority economic growth area. Meanwhile, the recently agreed upon five-year Canadian Agriculture Partnership has listed value-

added processing as one of its six priority areas. With provincial and territorial bilateral agreements still being sorted out, it’s unclear what that will look like for Canada’s processing industry going forward. Then there’s agriculture research. The party promised $100 million over four years in agriculture research. That promise has largely been kept. Research has been pegged as a key area in the Canadian Agriculture Partnership although the division of funding is still be sorted out. Ottawa has also invested some $30 million in genomics research under Budget 2016 – with another $70 million promised in Budget 2017 for discovery science aimed at tackling climate change and soil and water concerns. Details about how that money will be dispersed are still being sorted out. In addition, the federal government has committed $80 million to redevelop the Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s centre for plant health in British Columbia.

The hope there is to develop a research station that is world class. Ottawa has also started working on its promised national food strategy – another key campaign promise repeated in MacAulay’s mandate letter. The letter also talks about grain transportation, which has been a longstanding problem for Prairie farmers. The House of Commons Transport Committee will reconvene in early September to get working on its review of Ottawa’s proposed transportation legislation before Parliament comes back from its summer recess. The feds have said they hope to have the legislation in place this fall, despite harvest already underway in parts of the Prairies. Whether they can stick to that timeline remains to be seen. There is one campaign promise that remains outstanding: the Liberals have yet to develop a payment protection and recovery program for produce growers when buyers fail to pay. Canadian produce growers lost

their preferential status under the American Perishable Agriculture Commodities Act in 2014 after U.S. growers demanded an equivalent system North of the border. PACA is administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and allows producers to start recovering outstanding accounts for a $100 fee. During the 2015 election campaign then Liberal Agriculture Critic Mark Eyking promised his party would fix the issue if they were elected to office. Eyking is a former produce farmer. However, that promise was not repeated in MacAulay’s mandate letter. Still, almost two years later, no proposed solution has been put forward by the Liberals, despite pressure from Liberal chair of the House agriculture committee, the opposition parties and industry stakeholders. Canadian fruit and vegetable growers have been trying to convince the federal government to fix the PACA issue since 1985. Kelsey Johnson is a reporter with iPolitics, www.ipolitics.ca.

SUPPLY MANAGEMENT

Avoiding dairy sector’s boom and bust

Ag can’t afford to pay for NAFTA

BY ANITA MARK

EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

Re: Minister Freeland on NAFTA: “Maintaining Canada’s traditional protections under NAFTA… to preserve Canadian culture and Canada’s system of supply management.”

ith North American Free Trade Agreement talks starting, most people do not know enough about Canada’s supply management system in the dairy industry and how it compares to the American dairy industry, to understand what is at stake if Canada bows to pressures from south of the border. It is the very fact that the United States does not have a supply management system like Canada’s excellent one that their dairy farmers suffer at the mercy of their unregulated system and regularly go through boom and bust cycles. Canada is one of the few, if not the only, country in the world that had the foresight to regulate the production of milk. We used to have oversupply too and learned that regulating the industry was better than costly, long-term storage facilities paid for by Canadian taxpayers. In 1973, farmers, after joint consultation with the government, agreed that their next three years of production would henceforth determine what they would be allowed to ship on a yearly basis — called their quota. That way, our dair y farmers would stand on their own two feet with assurance and dignity, and processors could count on a guaranteed supply. In other words, this was the way to manage the supply. Supply management was born. If a farmer produced more than

MICHAEL RAINE MANAGING EDITOR

Supply management prevents overproduction and bankruptcy, milk shortages and high prices, says the author. | FILE PHOTO his allowable quota, he would receive almost nothing for that milk; quite the incentive for complying and only producing what was needed for the Canadian market. Here’s how the vicious circle works with our neighbour to the south: when the price of milk drops in the U.S. from oversupply, dairy farmers continue to produce more milk to survive and avoid bankruptcy. However, during the down times, many dairy farms do fail, thereby causing a shortage of milk. In a shortage, the price rises. When the price rises, dairy farmers still produce extra milk to pay off the additional debt incurred when the price was low. This unregulated supply and demand market causes havoc to dairy farmers in America, as referenced by President Donald Trump’s comments about Wisconsin’s dairy industry a few days ago.

What has not been mentioned in news reports, and adds to the milk oversupply, is that almost 50 percent of all American dairy farmers’ incomes are derived from hidden subsidies. Meanwhile, Canadian dairy farmers do not receive subsidies. Canada’s superior supply management system, designed to fend off this problem, ensures that Canadian farmers have stability and a reliable pay cheque — the envy of most, if not all, American milk producers. It’s not a bed of roses, though, as Canadian farmers all face economic challenges due to the rising costs of production. To succeed, farms have had to grow bigger and bigger, which is why we see so few family farms nowadays. Americans are not the only ones with a lot of milk to get rid of. New Zealand and Australia are in this game too, with small populations and low-cost overproduction. Like

America, neither has a supplymanagement system, so they want to palm off their cheap, lowerquality surpluses to Canada. With Canada’s high standards, these countries’ milk would not qualify to be sold here. So Trump wants access to Canadian dairy markets as a means to solve America’s short-sighted mismanagement problem, which is their own doing. The only ones who benefit in the U.S. are the speculators in a free market. In Canada, farmers and consumers have hugely benefitted from supply management, with stability for farmers and an assured supply of high quality milk for families. So Canada, please don’t give in at the trade talks. Mr. Trump, keep your hands off our dairy farmers and take care of your own. Try supply management. Anita Mark is a former dairy farmer.

HEART VERSUS HEAD

Decisions can’t be too sentimental, or too cold HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

o you ever make business decisions for sentimental reasons? Hard-nosed business people decry the fact that farmers often let sentimentality overrule practicality. Farming is a business, they argue. It’s no different than other businesses and there’s no room for an unreasonable attachment to land or belongings. It’s true that emotional attachment shouldn’t be the ruling force on your farm, if you hope to be successful. However, a cold, stoic approach to a family-owned business isn’t appropriate either. If you’re part of a multi-genera-

tional farm, there’s a justifiable pride in knowing that your grandfather or great grandfather homesteaded the land you’re now farming. Your current prosperity and lifestyle is based on a lot of toil and sacrifice from the generations that came before. Does that mean there will always be a farmer in the family? Does it mean the land can never be sold outside the family? No, but the attachment to history is a strong bond to consider. During the history of a farm, there are often times when an unbiased financial analysis might indicate that selling out makes the most sense. In fact, you can almost always make this argument. Just look at farmland values and how high they are compared to the productive value of land. By this measure, we should all cash in, take our money and run. Land has always been worth more than its productive value would dictate, but the gap has widened. Land has also proven to be a great

investment, particularly over the past decade. In addition to being farmers, we’re really land speculators. Where else could you have parked money to see such a dramatic growth in value? Of course, this hasn’t always been true. From the early 1980s to the early 90s, land values fell in many parts of Western Canada with a particularly steep decline in Saskatchewan. The farmers who sold out or who were forced to exit the business missed out on the big upturn. Some producers held on by their fingernails. In the end, it has proven to be a good business decision. When a farm has no family successor, do you sell the land or rent it out? The decision to rent may be a business decision, but it may also have sentimental undertones. You don’t want to be the one who sells the family farm. When land is ultimately passed to a generation with no connection to the farm, it’s much more likely to be sold. Sentimental value sometimes

goes beyond the land and the farm’s history and can reach epic proportions. Maybe you want to retain and eventually restore that old tractor that was your dad’s or your grandpa’s. That might make a nice hobby, but you don’t want the farm littered with old equipment. Can you imagine not culling an aging cow for some sentimental reason? This probably happens more than we care to admit. Are there practices that continue on your farm even though they make little sense? Are some things done a certain way because that’s how they’re always been done? Of all the different types of family owned businesses, farms are probably the most prone to sentimentality overriding common sense. To a certain level, it’s understandable and can even be beneficial. But recognize when it gets in the way of sound business decisions. Kevin Hursh is an agricultural journalist, consultant and farmer. He can be reached by e-mail at kevin@hursh.ca.

ew negotiations around the North American Free Trade Agreement isn’t the only threat to supply management. It had plenty of threats from within the country but the NAFTA talks now underway give supply management opponents a bandwagon on which to climb. Worth $6.2 billion in farm receipts annually, and once separated, fractionated and value added, worth $17 billion to processors, the Canadian dairy industry is a critical link in Canada’s agriculture sector. The regular part of farm receipts is an important element in its value to agriculture. Profitable dairy farms result in a thriving feed industry and appropriate land use, for production of forage, grains, oilseeds and manure spreading. Many agricultural acres in Ontario and Quebec rely on the local dairy farms for their markets. The dairy farms, in turn, support land values and supply trade, as well as being critical rural employers. Dairy farms have an expense-toreceipt ratio of 0.77. So 23 cents out of every dollar earned goes to income, capital purchases and tax. There is a myth that dairy farmers enjoy much higher margins than their cousins in the grain industry. It might be because their income is more regular, and this is perceived as profitable. The Census of Agriculture shows that 21 cents of every dollar in the grain and oilseed business is margin, a 0.79 ratio. Supply managed poultry and egg is 0.84. Non-supply managed beef and hog production are 0.90, leaving just a dime on those farmers’ kitchen tables for every dollar that came through the farms’ gates. Doing away with supply management might make NAFTA easier to negotiate but competing with desperate and government subsidized America producers will not improve the Canadian economy. Canada has the world’s highest level of adoption of new dairy farm technology, largely barn and parlour robotics. If the American model is so good why haven’t its farms invested in these animal, feed and human efficiencies that reduce the carbon footprint of dairy production? First, a non-resident and often undocumented labour pool; second, smaller and mid-sized dairy farms in the U.S. readily admit they can’t afford the investment as their margins are too tight due to low milk prices. Currently, most report negative numbers, despite government assistance in feed and dairy, lower taxation and cheaper labour. mike.raine@producer.com

Organic grocer adopts aggressive pricing strategy Amazon’s purchase of Whole Foods Market has organic sector wondering if prices will fall or the increase in demand will boost sales and support prices BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Amazon officially took over Whole Foods Market Monday and the company immediately followed through on its promise to lower prices. Bloomberg reported that a Whole Foods store in New York City slashed prices, marking down organic rotisserie chicken from $13.99 to $9.99 each and organic fuji apples went from $3.49 per lb. to $1.99 per lb. It’s unlikely that those foods, sold

in Manhattan, were produced on Canadian farms. But Amazon’s new policy of lower organic prices could impact Canadian farmers because Whole Foods is a major player in the organic trade. “The concern, for me (and) from a farmer perspective… is often lower prices at the store level can mean prices being pushed down (for) farmers. That money needs to come from somewhere,” said Marla Carlson, executive director of Sask Organics, which serves organic growers and promotes organic

agriculture. Amazon, the online shopping juggernaut, bought Whole Foods earlier this year for about US $13.7 billion. The grocery chain, specializing in organic and natural foods, has 448 stores in the U.S., 13 in Canada and nine in the United Kingdom. Cutting prices is core to Whole Foods new strategy. “By working together with Amazon… we can lower prices and double down on that mission and reach more people with Whole Foods Market’s high-quality, natural and organic food,’ said John Mackey, Whole Foods Market chief executive officer, in a statement. Western Canada is a major producer of organic grains, like wheat and oats. A large share of that production is exported to the U.S. and used to manufacture a long list of organic foods. If a major grocer like Whole Foods lowers organic prices, in store and online, prices at the farm gate would logically also fall. But there is a possibility that increased sales at Whole Foods boosts demand for organic commodities and supports on-farm prices. Supply and demand

Increased demand is normally good news, but it could be problematic for North America’s organic industry. There’s been a shortfall of organic production in Canada and the U.S., particularly of feed grains. “I know they are coming in (feed grains). I don’t know how much,” said Becky Lipton, executive director of Organic Alberta, in 2016. A portion, perhaps a large percentage of those imports may come from countries like India, Bulgaria, Romania and China. Those imports became controversial this spring when the Washington Post reported that organic soybeans shipped into the U.S., from Ukraine, weren’t actually organic. Whole Foods and Amazon may want to dramatically increase organic sales but that might be easier said than done. Boosting organic production in Canada and the U.S. is more complicated than lowering price tags because the switch to organic production takes three years. “I’m not saying they didn’t do their research (but) the idea of doubling production and (the) real understanding of what that is going to take, all the way through the value chain,” Carlson said. “It’s different in the organic sector…. We do have that shortage of supply.” Carlson added it’s too early to know what this all means for Canadian organic farmers, but it likely will mean something. “This (Amazon) is obviously going to increase access to people who haven’t had access to organic food, because (there) isn’t a store in their area that sells it,” she said. robert.arnason@producer.com

Efficiency, co-ordination at all-time high: CP Canadian Pacific Railway says demand for shipping is down but it is ready to move the smaller-than-average crop BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Executives at Canadian Pacific Railway say they are ready to move Western Canada’s grain and oilseed crop but they acknowledged last week that shipping activity early in the 2016-17 crop year has been a bit slower than expected. “I think right now, we would (have hoped) to be moving more and we would have hoped that it would have been ramped up a little quicker,” said John Brooks, CP’s senior vice-president and chief marketing officer, in an Aug. 21 interview. “Maybe it (suggests) some of the producers in our territory are a little bit reluctant to move some grain right now, until they see exactly what they have out there.” “We’re not disappointed but we’re waiting and watching and ready for this crop to get going.” By all accounts, Western Canada’s 2017 harvest will be earlier than expected in many regions. Pulse crops in southern parts of the Prairies are mostly harvested and durum crops are beginning to come off, with yields generally lower than expected. Harvest progress is a week to two weeks behind in more northerly grow ing areas but yields are expected to be average or even slightly above average in many regions. Producers that are knee deep into harvest are watching markets closely and may be less inclined to deliver grain in anticipation of future rallies. Brooks said grain companies have indicated they are anticipating strong and steady shipping demand once farmer deliveries begin to flow. “I think the feedback that we’re getting from the shippers is that once it gets going, it’s going to be a fairly high level of demand…,” Brooks said.

“We’re just ready to get going.” CP has not made a prediction on the size of Western Canada’s 201718 crop but Brooks said the company is prepared for a 66 to 67 million tonne harvest. “That’s what we sort of modelled off (and that’s) what our expectation was,” Brooks said. “I can tell you that we’re below

I do think the level of competitiveness between the grain companies is significant and I know they all want to capture their share in the marketplace…. JOHN BROOKS CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY

that, but I think regardless, we’re going to be ready to move it….” With a smaller-than-average crop expected on the Prairies this year, competition for grain could be higher than it’s been for several years. The 2016-17 crop was the second largest on record in Western Canada and Brooks said larger crops over the past few years have cont r i b u t e d t o g e n e ra l l y s t ro n g demand for shipping services. This year, with fewer tonnes to ship and more high-throughput country elevators coming on line,

competition for farmers’ production could be heightened. “(It) will be interesting to see how things play out,” Brooks said. “I do think the level of competitiveness between the grain companies is significant and I know they all want to capture their share in the marketplace….” Overall, shipping efficiency within the grain supply chain has increased dramatically over the past few years, Brooks added. New infrastructure investments by grain companies and railways has contributed to faster load times and shorter cycle times for grain hopper cars. CP’s introduction of dedicated grain trains under the dedicated train program (DTP) has given shippers and railways more certainty over the number of cars required at each delivery point throughout the year and car place-

ment schedules, Brooks added. The dedicated train program is available to shipping locations that have the ability to load 112-cars at once, with load out times of 24 hours or less. The DTP rewards shippers for quick loading and unloading capabilities and allows the railway to make more efficient use of its ontrack assets. “Probably about 75 percent of our unit train movements move in our dedicated (grain) trains so it’s a pretty big percentage of our total grain movement,” Brooks said. “We’ve actually sold into the marketplace about 15 percent more dedicated trains than we did (last) year on what will likely be a smaller crop.” In general, shipping efficiency has increased since the elimination of the Canadian Wheat Board five years ago, Brooks said.

“ The level of collaboration between CP and our shippers is at an all-time high,” he said. “The level of co-ordination with each one of those customers is pretty intense so I think it’s created a lot of good dialogue and it’s actually created some opportunities in terms of learning about things we can do better as a railway and things that our customers are looking for.” brian.cross@producer.com

Canadian National Railway sets new grain hauling record The company exceeded its previous record by two percent, handling 21.8 million tonnes of grain and oilseeds in 2016-17 BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Canada’s largest railway company moved record volumes of western Canadian grain in the 2016-17 crop year, despite a slow start to the shipping season caused by wet weather that delayed prairie harvesting operations last fall. Canadian National Railway shipped 21.8 million tonnes of western Canadian grain and oilseeds in 2016-17, roughly two percent more than the company’s previous shipping record set in 2014-15, company officials said last week. New shipping records were set for six of 12 months in 2016-17, they added, citing new network investments, longer grain trains and contract supply agreements that ensured predictable car placements to elevator locations across the West. CN’s grain movements in January, February and March of 2017 were close to 10 percent above record levels, a notable accomplishment considering the challenges involved with moving grain in the winter “If you look at September through April, we were consistently setting records, month after month, in terms of bulk movement…,” said David Przednowek, CN’s director of grain marketing. “There were a lot of innovations … that came along with being able to hit those numbers. A big one that we focused on was making the most efficient use of the limited number of slots that you’ve got available to move grain through the mountains and into export position in Vancouver and Prince Rupert.” Przednowek said the average length of CN’s grain trains has been increasing consistently for the past few years. Weather permitting, the company is routinely moving 200-car grain trains through the mountains to west coast ports. This requires the placement of additional locomotives within the train’s length and the deployment of mid-train air repeater cars that ensure adequate air flow for the train’s air brake systems. “If you look at our average train length in grain … I would say over the past four years the average train

length has increased by about 18 percent,” Przednowek said. “Our average train length for this past year was 9,600 feet — so almost 10,000 feet. A 200-car train is just under 12,000 feet….” “That (increased train length) has really helped to push more grain through the supply chain when it really wants to move.” Network investments by shippers and the railway has also enhanced system fluidity, meaning more grain can be moved in a shorter period of time. During the past two years, nine new high-throughput country elevators have come on line and seven more are expected to become operational within the next 18 months, CN said.

If you look at September through April, we were consistently setting records, month after month, in terms of bulk movement….

regardless of how many tonnes are produced. So far, demand for grain cars in August 2017 has been in line with CN’s expectations. Demand is expected to ramp up in the next few weeks, peaking at 5,500 to 6,000 cars per week. “Right now, the 2017-18 shipping season is right around normal for us. “Everyone is telling us that we can expect about the same type of

shipping pattern as we saw last year so that’s what we’re planning for.” Janet Drysdale, CN’s manager of corporate development, said infrastructure investments in Vancouver will be needed to ensure continued improvements in supply chain throughput. She said CN is encouraged by Ottawa’s recent announcement of a National Trade Corridor Fund, which may provide a source of

Doug MacDonald, CN’s vicepresident bulk shipping, said 200car grain trains are now the norm for CN. “The only time you have to worry about the size or length of (a train) is … when it’s cold out and you have to worry about getting air through the brake systems,” he said. “We have run trains as long as 227 cars already this year … so there is room for further expansion and productivity improvement “Well keep pushing that envelope as long as it’s safe and we can do it and be cost-effective and still provide the service that customers need.” Car-supply agreements that ensure a minimum number of car spots each week were available to shippers, regardless of whether they were located on mainlines or short lines, he added. Nearly 70 percent of CN’s 2016-17 rail car supply was furnished through such agreements. CN officials refused to offer an estimate on the size of western Canada’s 2017-18 crop but said they are ready to move the it

CWB halts exports after Russia fails to pay bills 50 YEARS AGO: AUG. 31, 1967

FROM THE ARCHIVES

BRUCE DYCK 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: AUG. 27, 1942 The Canadian Wheat Board denied farmers permission to have their own wheat gristed for their own families’ use after their five bushel per acre delivery quota had been filled. The request had been made by a delegation representing 308,000 prairie farmers and 130 independent flour mills in Western Canada. The wheat board said it sympathized with farmers but that meeting the request would be contrary to government policy. The Alberta Federation of Agriculture warned that the drain of young men from farms because of the war meant that the production of food was likely to flag and ultimately fail.

Saskatchewan Premier Ross Thatcher urged producers to grasp the opportunities that would allow them to increase cattle production to three million head by 1980, a 50 percent increase. Thatcher said the province was already providing assistance with hay shelter construction, forage crop production, community pastures, irrigation, brush clearance and breaking of land but would be amenable to other ideas that the sector might suggest. Saskatchewan Wheat Pool announced it would build a seven storey addition to its existing head office at the corner of Albert Street and Victoria Avenue in downtown Regina. The building was constructed and still stands, although now under a Viterra sign.

25 YEARS AGO: AUG. 27, 1992 A freak snowstorm swept across southern Alberta, flattening crops and dashing hopes of a top quality harvest. “It would be perfect if this was November, but this is still barbecuing season. What is going on?” said Bob Lyons, a provincial district agriculturalist in Pincher Creek. The wheat board stopped shipping grain to Russia after that coun-

try used up its $1.5 billion line of credit and was $100 million behind in payments. Russia made a $66 million payment in an attempt to get the wheat moving again, but Canada said it was substantially less than what had been originally promised. The wheat board did load one ship in Churchill as a sign of good faith, but 11 other ships remained in Canadian ports waiting to be loaded.

An increase of $550 million in Alberta put that province into a tie with Ontario as Canada’s largest agricultural province, while farm receipts increased more than 23 percent in Manitoba and more than 16 percent in Saskatchewan. As well, government program payments fell by almost $400 million, or 14.2 percent. bruce.dyck@producer.com

all is our favourite time to wander around the west. Forests are draped in gold, summertime crowds have cleared out of the parks and accommodation and campsites are more readily available, sometimes at off-season rates. If you haven’t yet taken advantage of free admission to national parks during 2017, fall is the perfect

time, especially if you’re eyeing heavily-visited Rocky Mountain parks such as Banff or Jasper. Any time we have visited in late September, we’ve found it busy but not overcrowded. Once you get away from the main townsites, the traffic and tourists disperse considerably. Yoho, Kootenay and Waterton Lakes National Parks get fewer visitors in the fall. One national park that is often overlooked, but shouldn’t be is Elk Island just east of Edmonton. Though less than an hour from the city, weekdays in the fall are quiet. The combination of forest, meadows, lakes and wetlands makes for attractive fall colours, though the real draw is wildlife. You might see elk, moose, a vari-

ety of birds and other critters. Finding bison, often a lot of them, is practically a certainty. Big males like to simply wander down the road, making this the only place in Canada where you might get caught in a bison traffic jam. Keep in mind that the 2017 free admission also applies to national historic sites such as Batoche, Fort Walsh or Lower Fort Garry. For more information, visit the Parks Canada website at www.pc. gc.ca. While fall can get cool in the mountains, it usually brings ideal weather to visit southern prairie parks such as Alberta’s Dinosaur Provincial Park or Writing On Stone Provincial Park, which can be uncomfortably hot in summer.

FLAVOURFUL TOPPINGS

Savoury jams and jellies make tasty condiments In a Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions, tarragon, thyme, salt and pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook 30 to 35 minutes or until onions are soft and their liquid is evaporated, stirring occasionally. Add blueberries, honey, vinegar and lemon juice. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until mixture is thickened, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Store in jars in the refrigerator. Source: Adapted from the Taste of Home website.

ams and jellies for toast are nice but I also like to put away a few jams to use with my savoury and snacking foods. The canning process is the same as for your other jams and jellies. Select ripe produce and cut out any bad spots. Cook in a nonreactive pot such as stainless steel or enamelled cast iron. If you are using pectin, be sure to check the expiry date. Wash jars in hot soapy water and rinse. Always use new lids for the best results. The screw rings can be reused. Have your jam hot and the lids in a pot of hot but not boiling water to soften the rubber seal. Fill jars and leave one-quarter inch (6 mm) headspace for jams and jellies. Using a non-metallic utensil , slide it down the insides of the jars to release any air bubbles. Readjust the headspace, if necessary. Wipe the rim of the jar with a damp cloth to remove any stickiness. Apply the lid and screw ring. Tighten the ring with your fingers only. Do not over tighten. Air is expelled from the jars while they are in the boiling water bath so you don’t want them to be sealed tightly or they will burst. Process jars in a boiling water bath that covers them by at least one inch (2.5 cm). When the jars are removed from the water bath and cool, a vacuum is produced that will preserve the food. For best quality, eat within a year. The processing times on these recipes are for altitudes up to 1,000 ft. (300 m). Add five minutes for each additional 2,000 feet (600 m) of altitude. Do not disturb the jars for 24 hours. Check the seal, wipe clean and label with the date. Store in a cool, dark place.

AUTUMN TRIPS » CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE Campground space opens up as well. You almost always have to book ahead in summer for camping in Dinosaur Provincial Park, but when we visited last September, there was plenty of space available. In addition to the famous fossils and spectacular badlands, a fall time bonus was the gloriously golden cottonwood trees lining the Red Deer River. Colour is the prime fall specialty. Shades of yellow dominate the aspen parklands, mountains and northern forests. But the farther east we go, the more interesting things become. Eastern Saskatchewan and Manitoba have more tree species such as Mountain Maple, adding a reddish tinge to the forests.

HABANERO PEACH JAM Habanero peppers are relatively hot, ranging between 150,000 to 300,000 Scoville heat units. Compare that to a jalapeno at 2,500 to 8,000 SHU. With the sweetness of the peaches, the cooking and the added sugar, don’t be afraid to use at least two in this recipe.

Habanero peach jam goes well with soft cheeses. Also try it on your chicken wings for a sweet and spicy flavour. | SARAH GALVIN PHOTO

TOMATO JAM This is nice with hamburgers and hotdogs. The bonus is that you don’t have to peel the tomatoes. 5 lb. tomatoes, finely 2.2 kg chopped 3 1/2 c. sugar 875 mL 1/2 c. lime juice 125 mL 2 tsp. freshly grated ginger 10 mL 1 tsp. cinnamon 5 mL 1/2 tsp. ground cloves 2 mL 1 tbsp. salt 15 mL 1 tbsp. red chili flakes 15 mL Combine ingredients in a large, non-reactive pot. Bring to a boil and then reduce temperature to a simmer. Stirring regularly, simmer the jam until it reduces and becomes sticky. This will take between one and 1 1/2 hours, depending on how high you keep your heat. When the jam has cooked down sufficiently, remove from heat and fill jars, according to the directions in this column. Process in a boiling water bath for 20 minutes.

Don’t overlook the southern prairie when seeking fall colours. Wooded coulees in places such as Grasslands National Park or Saskatchewan Landing Provincial Park contrast against native grasses for a kaleidoscope of hues. In a class by itself is the Cypress Hills, where the fall colour season usually comes later and the mix of forest and grasslands makes for striking scenes. Fall brings wildlife highlights such as the elk rut, marked by earpiercing bugling and males competing for dominance and generally showing off. While the rut is wide-ranging, national parks tend to be the best places to see the show because the wildlife isn’t concerned with hunters. Jasper is the top spot, though Banff, Elk Island, Prince Albert and Riding Mountain National Parks all have plenty of elk shenanigans.

Remove jars from water bath and allow them to cool.

GARLIC ROSEMARY JELLY This jelly pairs well with lamb. I find the flavour of fresh, locally harvested garlic stronger. Substitute the rosemary with sage and it will be tasty with pork or chicken. 1 3/4 c. 1/4 c. 1/3 c. 1/4 c.

dry white wine 425 mL white wine vinegar 60 mL finely chopped garlic 75 mL finely chopped 60 mL fresh rosemary leaves 3 1/2 c. sugar 875 mL 3 fl. oz. pouch liquid pectin 85 mL

In a medium-sized pot, stir wine, vinegar, garlic, rosemary and sugar and bring mixture to a rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Stir in pectin quickly and bring mixture back to a full rolling boil. Boil jelly, stirring constantly for one minute and remove pot from heat. Skim off any foam and ladle jelly immediately into jars. Process

according to the directions in this column for 10 minutes. Makes about four one cup (250 mL) jars. Source: Adapted from Gourmet.

BLUEBERRY ONION JAM This savoury jam goes well with wild game such as venison or moose. It would also be nice with duck. I would not recommend canning this recipe due to the oil in it. This is best made as needed and can be stored in the refrigerator up to two weeks. 2 tbsp. olive oil 30 mL 8 c. chopped red onion 2L 2 tbsp. minced fresh 30 mL tarragon or 2 tsp. 10 mL dried tarragon 1/2 tbsp. minced fresh thyme 22 mL or 1/2 tsp. dried 2 mL 1 tsp. salt 5 mL 1/2 tsp. white pepper 2 mL 1 1/2 c. fresh or frozen 375 mL wild blueberries 1/4 c. honey 60 mL 1/4 c. balsamic vinegar 60 mL 1 tbsp. lemon juice 15 mL

6 c. peaches, peeled, 1.5 L pitted and chopped 6 c. granulated sugar 1.5 L 2 - 3 habanero peppers 1/2 tsp. lemon zest 2 mL 2 tbsp. lemon juice 30 mL 2 tbsp. apple cider vinegar 30 mL Mix chopped peaches and two cups (500 mL) of the sugar in a nonreactive bowl or pot. Cover and let stand about 30 minutes to macerate. Mash the peaches slightly, leaving some large chunks. Use an immersion blender if you want the jam smoother. Add peppers, zest and remaining sugar to the peaches. Add lemon juice and cider vinegar. Stir, bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring often until thickened. Since there is no pectin used this will take a little longer, perhaps 30 to 40 minutes. When done, ladle into jars and process in a water bath canner for 10 minutes. Makes about four one cup (250 mL) jars. Source: Adapted from Deep South Dish.

Fall migration of waterfowl through the Prairies ranks among nature’s great spectacles. Numbers of geese and cranes can be in the hundreds of thousands. Hotspots include Manitoba’s Oak Hammock Marsh, the Quill Lakes and Last Mountain Lake in Saskatchewan or Beaverhill Lake in Alberta. Our go-to spot is often Luck Lake Heritage Marsh just north of Lake Diefenbaker because the dyke road crossing the shallow lake provides easy access. A bonus is that elegant tundra swans usually stop there as well. Coming here at dawn to watch the lift-off of tens of thousands of snow geese is nothing short of breathtaking.

Produce a growing concern for Alberta trio Local community responds well to market gardens

ON THE FARM

BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

IRMA, Alta. — A perk of market gardening is the opportunity to work inside a warm sunny greenhouse on a brisk winter’s day. “It’s therapeutic,” said Amy Newton, who with fellow growers Kristal MacKay and Janel Fenton operate Spade to Spoon Garden Market and Greenhouse near Irma, Alta. As with most gardeners, growing started as a way to provide fresh produce for their own families’ needs and led to finding markets for the excess. The trio began their farm venture two years ago, spurred on by little competition and the closure of other greenhouse businesses in the region. “It evolved super fast,” said Fenton. Their four greenhouses are used to start plants as early as December that are later spread over four acres of gardens. They are also their main sales site for their host of products ranging from bedding plants, trees and shrubs to gardening supplies. They also collect berries from the wild and from families’ fruit trees. “It’s more affordable and we k n ow t hat n o t h i n g ha s b e e n

SPADE TO SPOON GARDEN MARKET Irma, Alta. sprayed on it,” said Fenton, citing their natural approach to gardening without pesticides. “We’re not organic, but don’t spray. We just weed.” They also sell locally sourced goods ranging from beeswax products to art, with excess produce transformed into relish and jellies in a rented commercial kitchen each year. “There’s no kids, no laundry, we just visit and make preserves,” said Fenton, a mother to four children. She and Newton, who was expecting her fifth child this summer, are part of family farms, while MacKay, who has three adult children, once operated a dairy with her spouse. They say market gardening has brought them closer together. “If our friendship was falling apart, we’d let the business go. It’s always been us first,” said Newton. They receive much help with child care, construction, plumbing and yard maintenance from

family members. “If we had to pay someone to do that, it would not have been doable,” said MacKay. They work every day for six weeks straight in the early spring, with greenhouse planting beginning as early as December and transplanting and seeding beginning in early May for cold hardy varieties such as broccoli or spinach. The greenhouse operates from May 1 to June 15, opening again for special fall and winter markets. Their region can see frost during the growing season but the women spread the risk by managing gardens at different farm and town sites. Bedding plants are the growers’ biggest earner, with pro-

duce also selling well. “Vegetable-wise, we are not supplying the demand,” said Fenton. The trio has found success with preserves, which reduces food waste while catering to an underserved marketplace. It allows them to create traditional favourites but also special seasonal flavours such as caramel apple or pumpkin pie jam or gingerbread jelly. “The fall market was new to this area. It resonated with a lot of people,” said Newton. They have loyal customers but their main competition comes from Hutterites and large retail outlets. “It’s so much easier (for consumers) to stop at the Co-op and grab

supper, than seed it, weed it, water, it, harvest it and wash it,” said Fenton. They share the workload but generally advertising is handled by MacKay, bookkeeping by Fenton and social media by Newton. They use social media, like Facebook and Instagram, to keep customers informed on what’s available and do deliveries into Irma. “Social media is extremely important. At 9 a.m., we post that we have 10 vegetable baskets and by 10, they are sold,” said Newton. In addition, they sell produce to a community supported agriculture venture, create flower gardens in Wainwright and Irma and also offer a variety of classes. For the future, they believe farming smarter is preferred to farming bigger and will focus efforts on their best markets, either a garden market store, supplying someone else or selling produce boxes. “We want to better optimize the space we have,” said Fenton. They would like to offer more nursery stock and use raised beds in the greenhouse to extend the season for potatoes, tomatoes and cucumbers. “We hope raised ones will be warmer,” said Fenton. They also want to do more staggered planting and cutting of plants like spinach and lettuce rather than replanting to reduce the amount of space needed. karen.morrison@producer.com

CASH CROP

Milkweed: if you can’t beat it, grow it It’s the bane of most farmers, but a Quebecer hopes to reap a profit in growing the noxious weed BY JULIANNE LABRECHE FREELANCE WRITER

THURSO, Que. — Dan Gagne is the first to admit he’s the odd man out growing milkweed. While farmers around him in western Quebec curse the noxious weed, he’s growing it as a cash crop. Gagne, a physiotherapist who owns a 200-acre farm near Thurso, belongs to Co-operative Monark, consisting of approximately 100 farmers in Quebec and Vermont. These farmers are defying traditional wisdom, developing skills and technology to harvest milkweed. Currently, the milkweed fibres have two main markets. One transforms milkweed into oil-absorbing mats that can be used to clean up oil spills. “Because the fibres are hydrophobic, they will absorb oil in an oil spill. It will retain the petroleum but not the water in its fibre. It’s highly absorbent,” says Gagne. “It has the advantage too of being re-useable. It can be reused three

It’s an amazing alternative to cereal crops. I hope that all the farmers driving by right now laughing will stop and start asking questions. DAN GAGNE QUEBEC GROWER

or four times,” he says. Currently, Parks Canada is using the product for small oil spills and the Canadian Coast Guard ships use it also. It’s warmer than down filling because it doesn’t absorb water so it’s often used as insulation for coats, mittens and gloves, sleeping bags and bedding. “When you sweat, down loses its heating properties. Milkweed doesn’t,” Gagne says. There are added benefits for the environment. Milkweed is a host plant for monarch butterflies and also attracts bees. With the mon-

arch and bees under threat, planting milkweed can help to increase their numbers. On Gagne’s 20 acres of milkweed, seeded last summer, monarch butterflies fluttered overhead this sunny August day en route to their winter migration grounds in Mexico. Harvest occurs later in the summer, after the butterflies have departed. The co-operative provides Gagne with training, seeds and equipment to harvest it. “The plant is not competitive. It needs clean ground for sowing,” he says. The roots or rhizomes take time to spread. Little maintenance is required, although patience is needed. Milkweed takes at least three years to mature for harvest. “Once the rhizomes get established though, they’re on their own,” he says. He plans to add 25 acres of milkweed next year and hopes to net a profit of $800 per hectare annually. It should remain viable as a cash crop for about eight to 10 years. After that, it needs to be reseeded.

Milkweed, a host plant for monarchs, is harvested in late summer after butterflies have migrated south. “It’s an amazing alternative to cereal crops,” he says. Gagne concedes that growing milkweed is controversial. “I hope that all the farmers driving by right now laughing will stop

and start asking questions,” he says. Gagne hopes to have the last laugh one day, but for now, he will leave buffer zones between his fields and those of his neighbours.

PREGNANCY

Preventing fetal alcohol syndrome is couple’s responsibility SPEAKING OF LIFE

JACKLIN ANDREWS, BA, MSW

My girlfriend and I are party animals. Most weekends, we are out with friends having a drink or two, and it is hard to imagine

anything going on around here without the two of us being at the centre of it. But we are now pregnant and she wants to quit drinking and expects me to head into abstinence with her. I don’t want to but I will if I must. Do we need to cut out alcohol entirely?

Your girlfriend should quit drinking alcoholic beverages, and if it helps her to do so, then maybe you should join her. The concern centres on fetal alcohol syndrome.

If your girlfriend continues to drink while she is pregnant, the alcohol could penetrate her womb and cause serious damage to the fetus developing within the womb. It is a disability and condition that lasts the lifetime of the person affected. Children with the syndrome can be intellectually challenged and have trouble doing what they are supposed to do. They often make fewer friends than most children and can be disruptive in the classroom.

Mothers who have a drink or two during the term of their pregnancy may not give birth to babies with fetal alcohol syndrome so that might give you an excuse to keep drinking. The problem is we do not yet know enough about fetal alcohol syndrome to know how much poses a risk. We do know that all children with fetal alcohol syndrome were exposed to alcohol when they were still in the womb. It is simply better not to take any

chances and remove alcohol from your girlfriend’s diet as long as she is pregnant. I am glad that you are going to join her and not drink. This is a magical time in your relationship. The two of you have set the stage for a new child to be welcomed into your world. If you need to party, join your family for birthday cake and lemonade. That way, no one gets hurt.

ECHOES AND SENTINELS

Home for locomotive repair under repair The Hanna roundhouse, built in 1909, employed 60 people who put locomotives needing work back on track BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

HANNA, Alta. — A small group came forward with a big voice when the Hanna roundhouse was in danger of being sold for salvage. “I thought that was a shame and somebody should do something about it,” said Sandra Beaudoin, a former lender with Alberta Financial Services Corporation with a passion for history. She helped form the Hanna Roundhouse Society in 2010 to save the Canadian Northern Railroad building in the town of 2,800 in east-central Alberta. The society bought the roundhouse located on about nine acres of land in September 2013 for $80,000. The money came from an anonymous donor w ith repayment planned when the building is restored and starts to earn money as a community space and an interpretative centre. “It is for the community to save the history for our area,” said Beaudoin, who has also self published a local railroad history. Canadian Northern merged with

the Canadian National Railway in 1923. The Hanna roundhouse, perhaps one of the best preserved ones, is one of many built for locomotive maintenance.

At that time, locomotives needed steam and coal and they needed a lot of maintenance. SANDRA BEAUDOIN HANNA ROUNDHOUSE SOCIETY

The town was named for railway executive David Blythe Hanna and incorporated in 1912. It was meant to be the hub of the Alberta railway network. It became a divisional point and was part of the Goose Lake Line linking Saskatoon to Calgary carrying people, mail, livestock, coal and other goods. Construction on the roundhouse started in 1909 to support the railroad and as more families moved

into the area, housing, a train station, water tower and workshops were part of the overall infrastructure. At its height, 60 people were working at the site and ultimately 200 families were connected to the railroad and its service sector. The roundhouse was a semi-circular building with 10 stalls to accommodate locomotives needing work. A turntable was built to take each steam locomotive and direct the engine on a set of tracks into one of 10 bays for maintenance or repairs. “They didn’t scrimp on anything. They had the best of everything. It was planned at that time to be a big thing,” Beaudoin said. The original building was made of poured concrete with a felt and gravel roof, with the interior divided by a concrete wall every five stalls. Each stall had an engine pit where the machinist or boiler man could stand to work beneath the locomotive. “At that time, locomotives needed steam and coal and they needed a lot of maintenance,” Beaudoin said.

There were up to 19 tracks in the rail yard, but over time, business and transportation across the prairies changed. The Depression, world wars and improved train technology using diesel engines ushered in change and less need for the railway infrastructure. Eventually tracks were pulled up and grain elevators were demolished across the Prairies. The roundhouse operated until 1961. Hanna Manufacturing Limited, a farm implement business, took it over until 1969 and it became a livestock auction market from 1974 to 1992. When the historical society acquired the building, it was assessed as sound. It received a provincial historic resource designation in 2015. The group of about 10 volunteers had to gut the place because there was a collection of junk that had built up over a century. “It’s a little rough but it’s got a lot of character,” Beaudoin said. Some rare treasures were found and displayed, including a safe, jacks, a caboose stove and other railroad memorabilia. Wooden

A caboose stove is one of the artifacts on display at the Hanna roundhouse. office furniture is among artifacts donated from other railroad sites. The group wants to start a heritage carpentry workshop at the site because artisan skills are needed to restore the building. “We have over 100 windows that need to be rebuilt and we thought why not get our youth involved,” Beaudoin said.

GASTRIC REFLUX

Studies inconclusive on dangers of protein pump inhibitors HEALTH CLINIC

CLARE ROWSON, MD

I have been taking a medication to relieve my heartburn from gastric reflux. I have been on the pills for several years. I have recently heard that there may be some serious concerns about these types of medication. What should I do? Is there a cause for concern?

There are three main types of medications used in the treatment of ulcers, heartburn and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). There are simple antacids such as TUMS, H2 inhibitors and protein pump inhibitors (PPI). Commonly used H2 blockers include: Famotidine, known as Pepsid as a prescription drug, or Pepsid-AC as an over-thecounter medication, Cimetidine, known as Tagamet and TagametHB and Nizatidine-Axid and Axid AR. If you are taking one of these, you do not need to worry. These medications work by blocking the chemical, histamine. It is the PPI medications that some researchers have found to increase the risk of

certain serious illnesses. This family of drugs includes Nexium, medical name Ezomeprazole, Prilosec, known as omeprazole and Prevacid, known as lanzoprazol. PPIs work by blocking an enzyme located in the lining of the stomach that is responsible for acid production. They are effective so these drugs are useful in treating shortterm situations such as stomach or duodenal ulcers. Researchers have thrown some doubts recently on whether they should be prescribed for long-term use. The drugs are initially prescribed by doctors for good and valid reasons, but sometimes the prescriptions just keep getting renewed indefinitely. That could

lead to dangerous results in some cases. Researchers are not sure whether PPIs are responsible for an increased risk of dementia after longterm use, but a group of German scientists in 2016 found an increased risk of 44 percent. Others disagree with their findings, so more research is needed. Other studies have shown an increased risk of hip fractures by 35 percent, while Tim Spector of Kings College in London, England, feels that PPIs may give a person abnormal gut bacteria, which may predispose them to infections. He conceded that his study is observational only so needs to be validated. If you are concerned, I suggest

discussing this with your family doctor and perhaps consider switching to one of the other types of medications. There are also other non-medical measures that you can take to reduce the symptoms of GERD. They include losing weight, stopping smoking, eating frequent small meals rather than fewer large ones and not eating three hours before bedtime. Tight clothing should be avoided and using two or three pillows at night makes it more difficult for the stomach acid to regurgitate into your esophagus and throat.

Agrologists and farmers grow more profits with Western Ag Professional Agronomy. By Jenn Sharp

oth agronomists and farmers easily find success with Western Ag Professional Agronomy, part of the Western Ag Group of Companies. The company is dedicated to helping farmers make smart economic decisions to grow sustainable, high-yielding crops. The cost of making the wrong decision about inputs on the farm is huge. Western Ag tools and consultants help make fertilizer investment decisions fool-proof and profitable, while understanding each farm’s individual needs and challenges. The company’s dedication has paid off: Western Ag is expanding and looking for new people to join the team as independent professional agronomy consultants. It’s not simple to work for yourself unless you have the right tools and support. Western Ag has attracted a range of people with an entrepreneurial drive, and who are passionate about agriculture to the team. And they all say that finding work-life balance, combined with a lucrative career, is more than possible with Western Ag. In 2017, the Saskatchewan Institute of Agrologists recognized the company’s outstanding contribution to agriculture in the province. Western Ag was awarded the SIA’s prestigious Agrology Excellence Award Western Ag Professional Agronomy will celebrate its 20th anniversary next year. In 1998, the first commercial delivery of the Plant Root Simulator (PRS®) soil analysis was made to farmers. This grew out of the Western Ag Innovations R&D efforts dating back to 1994. Founder Ken Greer wanted to support agriculture on the prairies and improve farmers’ soils, crop yields and margins.

Western Ag’s innovative technology and team of professional agronomy consultants have increased yields by up to 30 per cent for customers in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and North Dakota. The company’s reputation as an agricultural innovator continues to grow from when it secured the license for the Plant Root Simulator® technology system, and launched a new era of soil testing. Dr. Jeff Schoenau, PAg, invented the groundbreaking PRS® probes, which measure soil nutrient flux to a simulated root. These measurements can predict the potential plant uptake and subsequent nutrient deficit that farmers require to make smart fertility decisions. Since its invention, PRS® technology has been widely adopted into the scientific community. It has been used on every continent, by over 2000 researchers, along with millions of prairie acres of applied crop planning. Western Ag is at the forefront of agricultural innovation, and has strong relationships with thousands of universities and researchers worldwide to build the professional agronomy consulting industry. The company’s Professional Agronomy Consultants help farmers make sustainable, profitable decisions that benefit both soil health and productivity. The data provided by the PRS® probes is put into Western Ag’s one-of-a-kind PRS Cropcaster®. The computerized decision support system provides unrivaled information on crop nutrition, selection and yield forecasting. Consultants work with these results to create a customized plan aligned to farmers’ goals and risk tolerance. The plan gives

Western Ag has been helping growers succeed for 20 years. Our independent Professional Agronomy Consultants work with farm businesses to develop customized plans using the proven Plant Root Simulator (PRS®) technology. A complete crop selection, nutrition and yield forecasting service, PRS Cropcaster® data empowers growers with the knowledge to Grow More Profit.

farmers the knowledge they need to optimize each field’s return and pick the best future crops. Western Ag Professional Agronomy Consultant Jocelyn Velestuk believed in PRS® technology before she joined the company. She did part of her masters degree in environmental science with Jeff Schoenau. The young mother of two farms with her husband and was looking for a career that would give her a work-life balance not available in the typical 9-5 work day. Since becoming an independent consultant, she enjoys the flexibility with Western Ag, along with the opportunity to pursue her passion for soil health. “I love sharing information and transferring it into the farmer’s own knowledge,” she says. “The PRS® technology and PRS Cropcaster® give me a good foundation for agronomy conversations and I can be confident in the results. If I didn’t have these tools, I would have to make an educated guess at soil nutrients. This would leave more room for error.” Ken Harms agrees. He joined Western Ag in 2001, after decades in the chemical/fertilizer business. “It’s likely the best feeling in the fall when the guys tell you: ‘We’re doing something right because when I compare my yields to the neighbours’, we’re doing a lot better.’” His career allows him to be on the frontline of fertility decisions with farmers, while being his own boss. And he enjoys witnessing their success firsthand. “They’re happy. They’re making good money and I was a part of helping them do that.”

This cool idea could save the planet A new Norwegian invention can dim sunlight and suck up carbon dioxide to help combat global warming

LSO, Norway (Reuters) — Scientists are sucking carbon dioxide from the air with giant fans and preparing to release chemicals from a balloon to dim the sun’s rays as part of a climate engineering push to cool the planet. Backers say the risky, often expensive projects are needed to find ways of meeting the goals of the Paris climate deal to curb global warming that researchers blame for causing more extreme weather and rising sea levels. The United Nations said the targets are way off track and will not be met simply by reducing emissions for example from factories or cars, particularly after United States President Donald Trump’s decision to pull out of the 2015 Paris deal. They are pushing for other ways to keep temperatures down. In the countryside near Zurich, Sw i s s c o m p a n y C l i m e w o r k s began to suck greenhouse gases from thin air in May with giant fans and filters in a US$23 million project that it calls the world’s first “commercial carbon dioxide capture plant”. Worldwide, “direct air capture” research by a handful of companies such as Climeworks has gained tens of millions of dollars in recent years from sources including governments, Microsoft founder Bill Gates and the European Space Agency. If buried underground, vast amounts of greenhouse gases extracted from the air would help reduce global temperatures, a radical step

beyond cuts in emissions that are the main focus of the Paris Agreement. Climeworks believes it costs about $600 to extract a tonne of carbon dioxide from the air and the plant’s full capacity due by the end of 2017 is only 900 tonnes a year. That’s equivalent to the annual emissions of only 45 Americans. And Climeworks sells the gas, at a loss, to nearby greenhouses as a fertilizer to grow tomatoes and cucumbers and has a partnership with carmaker Audi, which hopes to use carbon in greener fuels. Jan Wurzbacher, director and founder of Climeworks, said the company has planet-altering ambitions by cutting costs to about $100 a tonne and capturing one percent of global man-made carbon emissions a year by 2025. “Since the Paris Agreement, the business substantially changed,” he said, with a shift in investor and shareholder interest away from industrial uses of carbon to curbing climate change. But penalties for factories, power plants and cars to emit carbon dioxide into the atmosphere are low or nonexistent. It costs five euros (C$7.30) a tonne in the European Union. And isolating carbon dioxide is complex because the gas makes up just .04 percent of the air. Pure carbon dioxide delivered by trucks, for use in greenhouses or to make drinks fizzy, costs up to about $300 a tonne in Switzerland. Other companies involved in direct air capture include Carbon Engineering in Canada, Global

Thermostat in the United States and Skytree in the Netherlands, a spinoff of the European Space Agency originally set up to find ways to filter out carbon dioxide breathed out by astronauts in spacecrafts. The Paris Agreement seeks to limit a rise in world temperatures this century to less than 2 C, ideally 1.5C, above pre-industrial times. But UN data show that current plans for cuts in emissions will be insufficient, especially without the U.S., and that the world will have to switch to net negative emissions this century by extracting carbon from nature. Riskier geoengineering solutions could be a backstop, such as dimming the world’s sunshine, dumping iron into the oceans to soak up carbon, or trying to create clouds. Among new university research, a Harvard geoengineering project into dimming sunlight to cool the planet set up in 2016 has raised $7.5 million from private donors. It plans a first outdoor experiment in 2018 above Arizona. “If you want to be confident to get to 1.5 degrees you need to have solar geoengineering,” said David Keith of Harvard. Keith’s team aims to release about one kilogram of sun dimming material, perhaps calcium carbonate, from a high-altitude balloon above Arizona next year in a tiny experiment to see how it affects the microphysics of the stratosphere. “I don’t think it’s science fiction ...

to me it’s normal atmospheric science,” he said. Some research has suggested that geoengineering with sun-dimming chemicals, for instance, could affect global weather patterns and disrupt vital monsoons. And many experts fear that pinning hopes on any technology to fix climate change is a distraction from cuts in emissions blamed for heating the planet. “Relying on big future deployments of carbon removal technologies is like eating lots of dessert today, with great hopes for liposuction tomorrow,” Christopher Field, a Stanford University professor of climate change, wrote in May. Jim Thomas of ETC Group in Canada, which opposes climate engineering, said direct air capture could create “the illusion of a fix that can be used cynically or naively to entertain policy ideas such as ‘overshoot’” of the Paris goals. But governments face a dilemma. Average surface temperatures are already about 1C above pre-industrial levels and hit record highs last year. “We’re in trouble,” said Janos Pasztor, head of the new Carnegie Climate Geoengineering Governance Project. “The question is not whether or not there will be an overshoot but by how many degrees and for how many decades.” Faced with hard choices, many experts say that extracting carbon from the atmosphere is among the

less risky options. Leaders of major economies, except Trump, said at a recent summit in Germany that the Paris accord was “irreversible.” Raymond Pierrehumbert, a professor of physics at Oxford University, said solar geoengineering projects seemed “barking mad”. By contrast, he said “carbon dioxide removal is challenging technologically, but deserves investment and trial.” The most natural way to extract carbon from the air is to plant forests that absorb the gas as they grow, but that would divert vast tracts of land from farming. Another option is to build power plants that burn wood and bury the carbon dioxide released. Carbon Engineering, set up in 2009 with support from Gates and Murray Edwards, chair of oil and ga s g ro u p Ca na d i a n Nat u ra l Resources Ltd., has raised about $40 million and extracts about a tonne of carbon dioxide a day with turbines and filters. “We’re mainly looking to synthesize fuels” for markets such as California with high carbon prices, said Geoffrey Holmes, business development manager at Carbon Engineering. But he added that “the Paris Agreement helps” with longerterm options of sucking large amounts from the air. Among other possible geoengineering techniques are to create clouds that reflect sunlight back into space, perhaps by using a mist of sea spray.

European cereal crops hurt by bad weather Global production for 2017-18 is expected to be two billion tonnes BY CHRIS MCCULLOUGH FREELANCE WRITER

Cereal production in the European Union is forecast to be below average for a second year. According to the summer shortterm outlook report published by the European Commission, adverse weather conditions in various regions in Europe means cereal production is likely to mean slightly below average. Heavy rain and severe drought have damaged yields, particularly in Spain where the projected winter barley yield is 21 percent below the trend, and spring barley is 33 percent below. Other areas of concern include northwestern France and Belgium, where the combination of a dry May and a hot June resulted in unfavourable conditions for most winter and spring crops. As a result, overall EU exports will be down and EU stocks are expected to tighten. However, because of an increase in cereal production in other parts of the world, ample supplies are expected and prices are not likely to be significantly affected. For the 2017-18 year, the global cereal harvest is estimated to be slightly more than two billion tonnes. That’s three per cent lower than last year, but plentiful supplies fol-

lowing two good harvests mean global supplies will likely remain strong. The report said the harvest of 2016-17 has been the largest global cereal harvest in history. Despite record consumption, global stocks are expected to rise further at the end of this term to more than 500 million tonnes. In the 2017-18 crop year, as much as 740 million tonnes of wheat are expected to be produced globally, which is two percent lower than last year’s record crop. The report says overall EU harvests of corn and common wheat were substantially lower than average, while the output of barley was good. In 2016-17, 134.4 million tonnes of wheat were produced in the EU. Barley production remained at a high level, with around 60 million tonnes harvested. A total of 173 million tonnes of cereals, principally wheat, corn and barley, were used for animal feed in the EU in 2016-17. The amount of barley used for feed increased significantly because of a drop in exports and the relatively large EU harvest. However, the amount of wheat used for feed decreased due to limited availability. Seeded areas for 2017-18 are likely to be slightly lower than the previous marketing year.

Poor weather in many parts of Europe has taken a toll on crop yields this year, unlike past years when yields were good, like this crop in Cambridgeshire, England. | FILE PHOTO With 138.8 million acres of cereals, the total area is 1.3 percent less than the previous year and 2.3 percent below the last five-year average. Areas sown with corn, sorghum, triticale and rye are substantially

below the last five-year average, while barley and wheat are only slightly below the last five-year average. However, durum and wheat acres and, to a lesser extent oats, are expanding.

BEEKEEPING

Winter colony losses up BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Bee colony losses were higher in Canada this year, partly because April was a cold and snowy month on the Prairies. In its annual report, the Canadian Association of Professional Apiculturists (CAPA) said Aug. 21 that bee colony losses in Canada were 25.1 percent for the winter of 2016-17. The national winter loss in 2015-16 was 16.8 percent. The CAPA data for 2017 was based on a survey of 587 commercial and hobby beekeepers, representing 53.8 percent of registered colonies stored in the fall of 2016. The winter loss percentage is the number of colonies that failed to make it through the winter, divided by the number of bee colonies in operation the previous year. Prince Edward Island beekeepers lost 41.8 percent of their hives through the winter, the highest rate in Canada. Nova Scotia had the lowest rate: 13.2 percent. Alberta, which has almost 40 percent of all the bee hives in Canada, had winter losses of 28.8 percent. That’s nearly double the 15.3 percent figure from 2015-16. Weather was a major factor in British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan, CAPA said in its report.

“Beekeepers in western provinces reported that most of bee colonies died in April, which was one of the coldest, wettest (and) snowiest Aprils in years.” Mike DeJong, Alberta Beekeepers C o m m i s s i o n p re s i d e nt, a l s o blamed early spring weather for bee deaths. “It was really bad in April for bees,” he said in early July. “They started off and then went backwards…. They kind of went into dormancy mode (during) that cold weather.” Saskatchewan beekeepers also suffered this spring. Apiarists reported winter losses of 23.4 percent, compared to 15 percent in 2016. Bees had a better winter in Manitoba, as only 17.9 percent of colonies failed to survive the winter. Nationally, 25.1 percent losses were higher than the last three winters: • 2015-16 : 16.8 • 2014-15 : 16.4 • 2013-14 : 25 On a more positive note, CAPA said bee colony numbers in Canada are headed in the right direction. In 2007, the country had 589,254 colonies. In 2016, the number was 750,155. That’s an increase of 27.3 percent over the last decade. robert.arnason@producer.com

Thresher rebuilt — one piece at a time Red, green, blue and yellow combine parts from several decades come together on The Johnny Cash Special BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

LANGENBURG, Sask. — Ken Mack calls his restored grain thresher the Johnny Cash Special. Like the famous song says, he got the parts for his vintage thresher one piece at a time and it didn’t cost him a dime. “One Piece at a Time is where I got the inspiration from. I’ve listened to that song many times and thought, why not do something like that,” said the country music fan and handyman from Langenburg, Sask. Cash’s 1976 hit song refers to accumulating a Cadillac car piece by piece off an assembly line over 25 years. But, once the worker has all the parts to complete the car, he tries to assemble the pieces and it results is a hodgepodge of parts from different years and models that don’t fit together well. “Johnny Cash got his new, out of a factory, but I just took mine off other machines,” said Mack. Since about 2000 Mack has rebuilt 16 old threshers to working condition, many of which have been sold to Amish farmers in the United States. But years of restoring the harvesters had left him with a collection of odds and ends, bits and pieces from other machines. He decided in 2012 to restore one such derelict: a 1944-45 Case 2848 thresher. “Actually I wasn’t going to fix it, but something was telling me there’s something exiting about this old machine,” he said. However, years of sitting and slowly being stripped of originals had left it a hollow shell of former glory. “When I took it all apart the only thing I had in it was the frame, the

Everything else was taken off. It was all rusted out. The straw deck was all rotten inside, the grain pan and sieves were no good, and the grain leg and return were all rusted out,” he said. “So I’m sitting here and thinking. I had all these other parts and I started putting them on like a jigsaw puzzle.”

And that, said Mack was when he realized he would create the Johnny Cash Special. “I never went to no factory. I’ll tell you that much,” he said. The grain leg came off a 1950s era Massey Harris and the return was from two McCormick-Deering threshers. The head was off a John Deere and the feeder came from a Red River Special. There’s also parts from a Dion and the grain pan is from two Massey combines and sieves from a Claas combine. The straw deck came from another Case but it still had holes in it, so Mack had to install new wooden slats in it. The shoe on the bottom, where the sieve fits in also came from a newer Case, but to make it all fit Mack had to cut four inches out of it and weld back together. All the hangers on wood had to be taken off another machine to get them bolted on at the right angle to make them work. Mack’s Johnny Cash Special was completed in 2013 with parts from eight different manufacturers spanning three decades. However, this kind of workflow required a special touch, whether it’s a one piece at a time Cadillac or a one-off grain thresher. “You have to make it fit. You just have to line things up. Sometimes you have to drill holes, put bolts in and weld things together,” he said. “But it all fits, sort of, and finally it gets put together and away it goes.” As he added different parts to the original Case frame, Mack painted each to tell which ones were not original. The resulting machine is an eclectic rainbow of slightly differ-

ent parts, which highlight Mack’s ingenuity, resourcefulness and imagination. “Of all the ones I’ve worked on this one is my keepsake. The others ran good but this one runs real smooth. It’s one of the quietest,.” Since a boy, watching his father and grandfather thresh, Mack said he’s been interested and had the knack for keeping old things functioning - an historian of sorts with run-down tools. “You get this old machine that’s ready for the junk pile and there’s something about it that you can put it back together and it starts working again. And then, here come the people to watch it.” “The only thing that’s sad with me is that a lot of these people are no longer with me anymore. The younger generation don’t really want to get involved too much. That’s why I turned this into a colourful object. It’s different and it might make people really look, instead of seeing some old rusty machine running.” Colorful debut The Johnny Cash Special made its debut last year during the Harvesting Hope event at the Manitoba Agricultural Museum in Austin. The gathering set a new Guinness World Record of 139 working threshers operating at once for a required 15 minutes. “I had five that I still owned and I had eight that I restored that were there,” he said. Funds raised from the event were spilt between the Manitoba Agricultural Museum and the Canadian Foodgrains Bank. The old record was 118 threshers at St. Albert, Ontario in 2015, which

One Piece at a Time “I’d get it one piece at a time And it wouldn’t cost me a dime You’ll know it’s me when I come through your town I’m gonna ride around in style I’m gonna drive everybody wild ‘Cause I’ll have the only one there is around.” “Ugh!, what model is it? Well, It’s a ‘49, ‘50, ‘51, ‘52, ‘53, ‘54, ‘55, ‘56 ‘57, ‘58’ 59’ automobile It’s a ‘60, ‘61, ‘62, ‘63, ‘64, ‘65, ‘66, ‘67 ‘68, ‘69, ‘70 automobile.” - Johnny Cash also used several of Mack’s restored threshers. It raised money for breast cancer research. And in 2013, the Old Tyme Harvest in Langenburg, Sask., had earned the world title with 41 continuously operating threshers, with Mack as one of the main organizers and participants with more than 10 of his machines. “Part of my reason for rebuilding these is to preserve the past and I enjoy doing it and the people I meet. I’m not only restoring the past but helping the future with the money raised to feed the hungry and for cancer research,” he said. “It started out so innocently as a hobby and what it grew into. The accomplishment of what took place here is what really satisfies me.” “I say (The Johnny Cash Special) is my last one, but I’ve said that so many times that people don’t believe me anymore.” william.dekay@producer.com

The SFM series is probably the most practical machine for converting bush into cropland, says GB rep Sylvain Benoit. The violent shredding action turns tree to mulch, thus eliminating the need to pile and burn. | SYLVAIN BENOIT PHOTO LAND RECLAMATION

Making more land from land you have Farmland prices foster technology designed to grind stumps, trees and roots to help make land productive quickly BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

LANGHAM, Sask. — As North American farmland values continue climbing, farmers are eyeing areas where potentially productive soil remains covered by forest and scrub brush. In regions like the prairie parkland, some of the best land is also the stoniest land, which explains why it remains in the natural state. The old low-tech slash-and-burn method is still employed, but that old D9 bulldozer method leaves nuisance bush piles and rows across the landscape. The debris disrupts field operations for years, especially with today’s big equipment. The other

economic factor is that slash and burn can cost years in lost crop production. All this points producers toward the latest generation of big crushers, grinders, pulverizers and mulchers that can rip rocks and stumps buried a foot below the

surface and grind them into dust and toothpicks. It immediately turns a patch of bush into a prepared seedbed. One of the world’s largest and most innovative manufacturers in this arena is FAE of Italy. It builds crushers ranging from small skidsteer units to giant machines that turn mountains to molehills. There are two FAE distributors serving Western Canada : PrimeTech Shredding in Edmonton and GB Equipment in Quebec. The price of farmland is perking interest in the land-clearing technology, according to Sylvain Benoit of GB Equipment. Benoit attended the recent Ag in Motion to show off some of the latest FAE machines. He explained

how most farmers today plan their land-clearing operation. “First, the farmer sells off the wood for a profit, because it’s a shame to waste profitable timber or firewood. This helps offset your costs of clearing,” said Benoit. “Now you’re left with branches, stumps, some rotten trees, roots and lots of debris that will get in the way of your farming equipment. To recover your investment, you need to put that field into crop as soon as possible, the very next planting season. “One of the best machines for that is the SFM grinder. It’s designed mainly for farmers who have woodlands they want to convert into farmland.” He said the SFM grinds all debris

and the roots down to one foot deep and turns everything into fine organic material that will decompose in the soil. “If you have stony soil in your woodlands, this machine is also a stone crusher, but not as good as our real stone machines. The SFM crushes rocks down to about twoinches in diameter.” The SFM is engineered for 180 to 250 horsepower tractors. The p.t.o. drive shaft has a cam clutch, with 540 rpm or 1,000 rpm. Working width of the four models run from 71 inches to 99 inches. It smashes objects with one adjustable counter bar and two rows of bolted counter bars of forged steel. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

FIELD TRIAL

One pass conversion: turning bush row into a flower bed Farmer puts SFM grinder-mulcher to the test on bush rows and stone-littered fence lines BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

The biggest machine GB Equipment brought to Ag in Motion was this FAE road reclamation shredder which is capable of digging up and crushing two-foot rocks from a depth of 14 inches on a packed gravel road. The unit is designed more for construction companies than for farmers, although it could do a pretty good job of clearing bush. | RON LYSENG PHOTO

The STCH/HD-225 picks rocks up to 12 inches in diameter and reduces them to particles ranging from dust to 1.5 inches in diameter. This UML/SSL-150 VT is a high-speed wood mulcher designed for high-flow skid steer loaders. The cylinder is 60 inches wide and is driven by a variable torque hydraulic motor. It can mulch standing trees up to eight inches in diameter, turning them to sawdust.

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE GB Equipment also brings in f o u r d i f f e r e n t h i g h -s p e e d mulchers and crushers engineered primarily for high-flow skid steer loaders in the range of 40 to 120 h.p. These machines can tackle standing trees up to eight inches in diameter and chop them into fine mulch. They can be fitted with either knives or carbine hammers. The same working tools can installed on excavators and backhoes. Benoit said FAE also builds five different shredder models for road maintenance, called Stone Crusher Machines (STC). These are the flagships of the FAE lineup, with power requirements ranging from 80 to 350 h.p. STC units are heavier and more aggressive than required for land clearing and are mainly intended for municipalities and road construction companies. They can help earn their keep by doing extra duty with custom bush clearing when roadwork is finished.

“Let’s say you have a gravel road with ruts and rocks coming up. Instead of hauling in more gravel and using a grader, you take the STC machine for road re-conditioning. It digs 14 inches down into the gravel roadbed to crunch the big rocks from 12 to 15 inches diameter and makes them into nice gravel.

The gravel can be as small as dust or big as 1.5 inches. Now the frost doesn’t bring up the rocks and the grader doesn’t bang the blade on the big rocks. SYLVAIN BENOIT GB EQUIPMENT

“The gravel can be as small as dust or big as 1.5 inches. Now the frost doesn’t bring up the rocks and the grader doesn’t bang the blade on the big rocks. So it saves a lot of money in road maintenance.” GB has recently sold four units

into Western Canada. In 10 months, PrimeTech Shredding has sold 23 units, many of which are doing custom work. PrimeTech manager Dave Kwasanitza said in an interview that custom operators charge $350 to $450 per acre, depending on how stony the land is beneath the trees. Some custom operators also have a Tooth Fairy Fee, requiring the landowner to pay for broken teeth. Kwasanitza suggests there’s an important time factor farmers should plug into their business plan if they expect to perform custom work. The season is quite long compared to other farm implements, such as combines and sprayers. There are dozens of different FAE crushers suitable for land clearing. Prices for machines typically bought by farmers range from $55,000 to $150,000.

The time lapse between putting a dozer blade to the bush and pulling your air drill into that new field can be three costly years; or more. There is an up-front investment in clearing new land, with payback some ways off over the horizon. Along the way, one of the only things that grows on this new land is interest on the investment. When Ryan Huber cleared two sections of poplar, three years passed between the time he started slashing trees until he put his drill into the new fields. The Lipton, Sask., farmer says the experience sent him looking for a quicker way to convert bush into cropland. He thinks he’s found it. Huber says he was happy to have GB Equipment demo their SFM grinder-mulcher on his farm this summer. “It’s (SFM) slow but it’s amazing. It makes one pass and all the prep work is done. Simply amazing,” states Huber in a phone interview. “We didn’t have many stones where he did the demo, so we hauled in some two-foot rocks and put them into the bush row. We had rowed it with the Cat and we’d left the stumps and roots in the ground. “This machine Sylvain brought is so slow. But it’s final. It turns the rocks into tiny pebbles. You can come into this old bush row now and plant a flower garden after one pass. You could bag the soil and sell it.” Huber says he’s considering buying one of the grinders, mainly for bush rows. He wastes a lot of time digging pits with the track hoe, using the Cat to push bush row debris into the hole, then finding soil for the top. He says that works fine if you have enough hollows or sloughs, but if you’re on flat land, you end up with mounds on your fields. He has been using a heavy Wishek bush disc, which he runs over new land twice after the Cat is done. He runs it deep, right down to the spools. But it does nothing to deal with stones and stumps. “We’re clearing new land and we’re taking out a lot of tough bush. There’s old bush rows because somebody had already cleared it once and then left it to grow back. That makes it really hard. I want to try burning those old bush rows, spread whatever is left, and then go in with one of these grinders and till everything once. I think we need to work it down to a full one-foot depth so you get those roots. “But it’s really not ready for seeding like people think because the grinder leaves such a perfectly soft fluffy seedbed. It’s unbelievable. You really have to come back with a (Degelman) ProTill to pack it down. “We’re not just clearing new land.

We’re in the midst of cleaning up old fence lines and road allowances that are full of stones and wire and brush and posts. We use a cat and a track hoe. We bury most of it, and that works OK until it settles, then you have to come back and somehow fill it up. Or frost starts pushing the rocks back up to the surface.” Huber says the demo machine ran down some old fence lines, where it gobbled up rusty barbed wire, leaving it in little shreds. W h e n i t e n c o u nt e re d n e w e r barbed wire, the wire wrapped around the cylinder and had to be cut with a bolt cutter. But it decimated everything else in its path. Huber says it’s typical for a farmer to lose three crop years while putting new land into production. About 15 years ago, he hired Bear Slashers from northern Alberta to clean two sections of bush with a high-speed wood grinder.

But it’s really not ready for seeding like people think because the grinder leaves such a perfectly soft fluffy seedbed. It’s unbelievable. You really have to come back with a (Degelman) ProTill to pack it down. RYAN HUBER SASKATCHEWAN FARMER

“They did a good job of what they do on the oil leases. They take off the top of the bush. They just skim the surface. Their slasher took down all the trees just fine. I thought it was great until spring when the dirt settled and we saw all the roots and rocks,” he said. “It was three more years of work before we could seed a crop. The ideal combination would be the Bear Slasher machine first, then follow up with the grinder. Theoretically, you should take the trees down and let them set there to dry for six months. Because you still get some bigger chunks when the trees are still green.” While in the area, GB Equipment did a demo for the rural municipality, in which they ran their STC road maintenance grinder on a thousand yard stretch of grid road. The machine made three passes, one down the middle and one down each side. They ran it down to a depth of about one foot, breaking up any rocks that might eventually work their way up to the surface. The grader was then able to easily work the freshly crushed gravel and re-shape the road to specification. For more information, contact Huber at 306-336-2252. ron.lyseng@producer.com

RESEARCH FIELD TRIALS

Easy-to-grow perception a problem for flax Agronomist says the crop needs good management, including appropriate fertilizer, fungicides and weed control BY BONNIE WARNYCA FREELANCE WRITER

INDIAN HEAD, Sask. — Researchers are responding to producer complaints about seemingly unpredictable flax yields, says Rachel Evans, extension agronomist with the Flax Council of Canada. “Some producers tend to think of flax as a low input crop, but in fact, it is quite the opposite,” Evans said during the Indian Head Agricultural Research Foundation’s annual field day in mid-July. “It’s a crop that requires a good management plan and can respond well to appropriate seeding dates, fertilizer rates, fungicide when necessary and strong weed control. “Flax doesn’t handle excess moisture and with the past couple of wet fall years, producers haven’t had the high yields they were hoping for. But unlike canola, it doesn’t shatter, and some producers have taken flax crops off in the spring and recorded No. 1 yields. However, that isn’t ideal.” Evans said nitrogen rates and fungicides are the lower hanging fruit for increasing yield when it comes to research. As well, researchers are looking into the suggestion that flax does

The goal is to eventually have varieties with fibre that can be chopped and spread during harvest. That research is ongoing and it could successfully eliminate a practice which is no longer sustainable. RACHEL EVENS AGRONOMIST

not respond to increased fertilizer rates, she added. The Saskatchewan Flax Development Commission and the Western Grains Research Foundation his in the second year of a threeyear trial looking at re-establishing the optimum nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer rates at eight prairie locations, including Indian Head. New cultivar genetics, changes in equipment and recently published findings on fungicides interaction with nitrogen rates warrant this work. It’s the largest study of this kind on flax fertility in the last 20 years. The Indian Head Research Farm began working with flax seed treatments in 2013.

Chris Holzapfel, IHARF research manager, said flax seed treatments result in higher plant numbers, but not always higher yields. “In the first work, we combined nutrient seed treatments and fungicide treatments and combinations of the two against untreated seed,” said IHARF research manager Chris Holzapfel. “We went with Vita Flow as the fungicide and with trials located at Indian Head and Melfort. We saw

significant increases in plant numbers at both locations with Indian Head slightly ahead with 45 to 50 bushels to the acre. But a word of caution — increased plant numbers don’t always result in higher yields.” Other flax trials and projects are being wrapped up under the Flax

Council of Canada’s Growing Forward 2 program. Evans said research projects are looking at improving abiotic stress tolerance, including drought-tolerance with breeding and improving flax genetics. Weed scientists at the University of Saskatchewan and the University of Manitoba are investigating improved weed management options for flax. Significant gains have also been made into improving pasmo management and developing pasmo resistance cultivars. Harvest management rises to the top of discussion at this time of the year. Pre-harvest glyphosate is beneficial if green weeds or perennials are present and may help with crop dry-down under certain circumstances, particularly when the weather is 20 C and dry. As well, the flax industry is funding a researcher at the University of British Columbia to look at varieties with reduced fibre to try to eliminate the post-harvest flax fibre burning. “The goal is to eventually have varieties with fibre that can be chopped and spread during harvest,” said Evans. “That research is ongoing and it could successfully eliminate a practice which is no longer sustainable.”

APPLIED RESEARCH

History of an old research station in an evolving world The Indian Head Agricultural Research Foundation takes a collaborative approach to research BY BONNIE WARNYCA FREELANCE WRITER

In 1993, word came from the federal government that Agriculture Canada’s research centre in Indian Head, Sask., was destined for closure. In response, local scientists and researchers banded together with

area farmers to develop a new game plan to keep the farm open. The result was the Indian Head Agricultural Research Foundation (IHARF), and by developing a collaborative relationship with Agriculture Canada, the farm was saved. The IHARF board, comprising mainly area farmers, proposed

looking after the fill acres on the farm to bring outside income to help lower farm costs. “The crop revenue helped to subsidize this new-farmer directed research, which has evolved to the point where they no longer must rely on equipment donations but still receive very generous in-kind donations from the private sector,”

said IHARF executive manager Danny Petty. “The private sector’s generosity was paramount in getting IHARF established. The foundation runs small-plot and field-scale lines of equipment, cropping about 1,200 acres of government owned land, IHARFowned land and small parcels

rented from area farmers. The farm is seeded around smallplot research and demonstration trials with field-scale trials included wherever possible. Many synergies exist between the two groups. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

TIRE EFFICIENCY

The Titan of fat tire technology looks for good year BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

LANGHAM, Sask. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The three factors driving tractor tire technology today are compaction, road

lope and tire hop. Titan Low Side Wall (LSW) tires address all three issues, according to field technician Toby Carson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We accomplish this by lowering the sidewall. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing to tractor

tires what manufacturers have done to car and pickup tires,â&#x20AC;? said Carson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to a larger diameter wheel with a shorter tire. We use a wide 46 inch diameter rim instead of the conventional 42 inch

diameter rim. The outside diameter remains the same as your conventional tire, so it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t affect your gearing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Compared to duals, we have a 20 percent larger footprint and you can run 40 percent lower inflation. Plus, the low side wall with the wide surface eliminates the pinch point you always have with duals.â&#x20AC;? Carson says tire lifespan should be five to seven years. That projection is based on the fact that LSW has been available for six years, so Titan is now starting to see some repeat buyers. He adds that the original test tires that remained with farmers are still in use today. The LSW tires are available for

most tractors, combines and sprayers. Titan Tire manufactures the tire and the rim, and they come as an assembled package. Carson says price is up to the local dealer, but they are comparable to a set of duals. ron.lyseng@producer.com

For example, Agriculture Canada scientist Bill May is conducting an aphid population project on canaryseed on the IHARF land. The department doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t own a plot drill and IHARF has two, including a SeedMaster and a ConservaPak. IHARF has only one tractor for the plot drills so uses an Agriculture Canada tractor for its plot seeding. The two units are then shared between IHARF and Agriculture Canada for plot seeding operations. The research farm shared by IHARF and Agriculture Canada is busy with close to 90 agronomy projects and 3,900 plots, which they either lead or collaborate on.

Agriculture Canada opened the Indian Head Experimental Farm in 1886 to meet a demand from new settlers for reliable information on the best farming methods and practices for local conditions. Scientists adapted crops and species, such as cereal grains, oilseeds, vegetables, fruit trees and perennial forage species, to make them better suited to the area. They also developed their knowledge of soil management and crop production.

The research farm also gave settlers information about animal care and nutrition and access to the best available genetics for horses, beef and dairy cattle, hogs and chickens. Indian Head became the key research farm during the Dirty Thirties to combat blowing soil on the Prairies. It served area farmers in that capacity for more than 100 years, building a rich history of innovation in Western Canada, particularly in the area of no-till farming.

paperwork is endless but necessary to enable the group to collect data and develop results for the applied research needed to assist farmers in improving their agronomy. IHARF sees extension as a critical component of its work. It hosts many tours during the growing season for groups from North America, Europe, Kazakhstan, New Zealand and Australia. It also hosts a winter seminar that rotates around the province and a daylong session at Crop Production Week in Saskatoon. Petty said there are seven other organizations similar to IHARF in Saskatchewan, although it is the most established. The organizations belong to an umbrella group known as AgriARM, which is a network of producer-directed applied research and demonstration groups. All operate individually but collaborate on a broad range of projects. Agri-ARM receives core funding from Saskatchewan Agriculture, but receives most of its funds through project-based funding. In 2015, IHARF received an award from the Saskatchewan Institute of Agrologists for agrology excellence for outstanding service for the profession of agrology.

DAIRY RESEARCH

Dairy Learning Centre gives sector a boost Research conducted at the facility will enhance the education of future dairy leaders, says official In the robotic milking parlour, a machine scans the cow’s tag, then milks and treats the teats to prevent infections. Robots are seen as a way to improve cow comfort by providing regular milking. BY JEREMY SIMES EDMONTON BUREAU

VERMILION, Alta. — Farmers and faculty point to Lakeland College’s new Dairy Learning Centre as a key element in advancing Alberta’s milk industry. “We’ve come a long way from the bucket and the milking stool,” said Tom Kootstra, chair of Alberta Milk, during the official opening in Vermilion Aug. 22. “Some of the (students) here are going to be part of the next generation, and will improve on the senior management team at home, so this offers a lot. “ The 46,000 sq. foot centre replaces the college’s old facility, which was built in the 1980s. Students can use the facility’s robotic milking system and conventional parlours when managing the 280 head of cattle, which includes Holstein milk cows, replacement heifers and calves. “Having this facility means the advancement of education of

future dairy leaders in the industry,” said Josie Van Lent, dean of agriculture sciences at Lakeland College. “When we know better, we do better. That’s what education is really all about.”

When we know better, we do better. That’s what education is really all about. JOSIE VAN LENT DEAN OF AGRICULTURE SCIENCES

The centre’s new equipment also enhances animal care, she added. Cows will essentially be able to milk themselves when they reach the robotic milker. Before entering, a machine scans the animal’s tag. Then a gate opens so they enter the milk parlour, which will milk, clean and seal the teats to prevent infections.

On the other side of the milker, students will view a computer screen that monitors how each cow is producing while also detecting potential issues in the milk. “Robots provide a little more comfort because cows can get milked a little more regularly,” Van Lent said. “In old barns, we knew less of animal behaviour than what we know today. So, the newer barns are addressing cow comfort and animal behaviour, and what’s really important to the animal in the milking process.” Other new technologies include robotic feeders and cleaners, and students will also be taught calf management, feed and nutrition, cow comfort, and manure management. Students were keen on bringing robotics into the facility, said Kristyn Child, who helped design the building and recently graduated with a dairy major. “We thought it would be nice to

have both because it’s a learning centre,” said Child, who works at her family farm in Killam, Alta. “Robotics are the future, really, so why not bring that into the learning facility? It’s not that hard, but it would be great to learn and maybe bring it into our farm.” Dairy farmers and operators are also welcome to learn about the robotic systems. The centre will be more than just a place to learn. The herd will produce about 3,000 gallons every second day, which will be shipped to Edmonton. This means the centre will now be as large as a typical Alberta dairy farm. Van Lent thanked Alberta Milk for providing the college with additional quota, bringing it to 280, so students could work in a larger operation. Before that, students were managing 50 cows. “It’s so heart-warming they stepped up to the plate and are supporting education,” she said. “Now, we have the capacity to have

more students. It’s not so crowded now with more parlours.” The centre, which took about four months to build, is expected to be fully operating in early 2018. It cost $9.5 million, which includes $3.5 million in funding from the federal government and money from the Alberta government under Growing Forward 2. Ma r l i n S c h m i d t , A l b e r t a’s advanced education minister, said the province will also partner with the college to conduct research. “It will have a positive impact on the dairy producers,” he said. “This is a state-of-the-art learning centre. There’s nothing else like it in the country.” jeremy.simes@producer.com

CANADIAN CATTLEMEN’S ASSOCIATION

Meat audit shows work needed on improving taste Satisfying taste buds is essential or consumers will turn to cheaper meats, says beef official BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

CALGARY — Juicy, tender and tasty are the benchmarks for good beef. A national meat case audit is designed to see whether the Canadian beef industry is delivering them. Results show it is, although overall satisfaction varies. “There’s only one reason to pay more than double for beef versus chicken and that’s the quality of the product. It’s the taste,” said Mark Klassen, technical services director for the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association. In the audit, more than 1,000 consumers from Alberta, Quebec and Ontario are provided with four types of steaks and asked to cook them as they normally would in their homes. They are then asked to rate juiciness, tenderness, flavour and overall eating quality. In 2001, consumers rated tenderness at 68 percent. The rating rose to 76 percent in 2009 and then dropped to 73 percent in 2015. The overall satisfaction rating went from 73 percent in 2001, to 80 in 2009 to 79 in 2015. For objective data, the same range of steaks from the same stores was given a shear test to gauge tenderness. Results showed tenderness improved in the tougher cuts like crossrib and inside round but didn’t improve in strip loins and top sirloins. Klassen speculated that the improvement in 2009 could be due

to aging programs or mechanical tenderization at retail. “I think it all comes down to the fact that if we want to improve satisfaction further, given that we have tenderness in a relatively good place, we’ll have to work on things like flavour.” Meat case auditors also visited about 70 stores and looked at 21,000 packages of beef to see how product is being marketed. They found that beef takes up an average 32.5 percent of the fresh meat case. In the United States, about 43 percent of the space is given to beef. As for variety, the average in Canada was 22 different cuts and types, while in the U.S. the figure is 59.

Klassen said American stores tend to be larger, with more available space, but that population also eats 56 pounds of beef per capita compared to Canada’s 40 lb. About 50 percent of fresh beef packages are steak, 24 percent are ground, nine percent are roasts

There are very few prime grade steaks and roasts. About 39 percent of steaks and 33 percent of roasts bear the AAA grade or higher and more than half carry no grading information at all. “It would be nice if, given the effort and investment that we make in grading, if some of those other grades could figure a bit larger into the value proposition,” Klassen said. Cooking instructions were not common and production claims like no added hormones or certified humane were made on less than five percent of fresh beef packages. Klassen said most label claims note the negative. “It seems to me that most of the production claims are about telling consumers what we do not do, differentiating by a negative inference,” he said.

Claude Gravel, the former meat merchandising manager for Costco, said retailers need more consistency in beef quality, particularly on AAA beef, because much of the industry has moved to offer that grade. In his past experience, Gravel said he had to buy American beef at times to ensure Costco had enough supply of higher beef grades. He also said the price spread between

beef and other meats is uncomfortably wide for many consumers. “Pork is so cheap right now compared to beef. If you have $20 and you have to shop and you’re a mom going to the store every week, what are you going to do?

MANITOBA BEEF PRODUCERS

MBP outlines wish list to fulfil new gov’ts expansion agenda BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Last summer, Manitoba’s agriculture minister made a comment that surprised many cattle industry leaders. Ralph Eichler, during a field tour north of Brandon, said Manitoba’s beef industry should expand the herd and aim for a target of 750,000 beef cows. The number was ambitious, as Manitoba had about 440,000 beef cows at the time. It’s been more than a year since Eichler’s remark but a plan for expansion is moving forward, said Manitoba Beef Producers president Ben Fox. “It’s a longer process than probably anybody wants to admit,” said Fox, a rancher from the Dauphin region. “The progress to date has been slow. But we’re still on the building path to getting numbers increased.” The government provided official support for herd expansion in

RALPH EICHLER MANITOBA AGRICULTURE MINISTER

April, when it unveiled the 2017 provincial budget. The budget press release mentioned “increased investment in agriculture, including funding for an enhanced Livestock Growth Strategy.” The specifics around the growth strategy remain unclear, but the MBP hopes to nail down the details in 2018. “We’re putting together a game plan…. to outline very specific and detailed points that need to be accommodated to grow the herd,” Fox said.

“Hopefully by our next AGM, in February, it will be ready to present to the provincial government.” The MBP hinted at what’s needed in a press release this spring. The organization said cattle producers require better risk management tools, a regulatory environment that encourages growth, sound policies for Crown lands and improved water management strategies that reduce risk. Ranchers also need money, Fox said. “It’s not just government regulations. But the lenders… need to increase availability of credit to producers.” While government, banks and credit unions have a role, producers are ultimately responsible for building the industry, Fox said. That requires a change of mindset, where people in the trade feel more hopeful and optimistic. Making that psychological switch isn’t easy because many producers suffered through a decade or more of low prices, flooding and a feeling

that the previous NDP government neglected and disrespected the livestock trade. “Producers need to feel engaged. And made to feel that they are wanted… that their production is wanted in the province,” Fox said. Eichler’s comments last summer indicated the new Conservative government supports the industry, but some producers remain skeptical about expansion. At a meeting in Arborg last fall, several ranchers said it doesn’t make sense to build Manitoba’s herd because it will depress cattle prices. Fox doesn’t buy that argument. “The reality (is) we (Manitoba) are not that big a player,” he said. “It’s not like we’re going to flood the market with cattle.” Other ranchers are more positive about expansion and are growing their herds. Fox said the tone of conversations between beef producers is shifting from negative to positive. “I think the overall outlook is

DANGEROUS PLANT

Horse owners warned to scout pastures for toxic Alsike clover ANIMAL HEALTH

JAMIE ROTHENBURGER, DVM

nlike their counterparts in the southern United States, Canadian horse owners have relatively few toxic pasture plants to contend with. One is Alsike clover. The plant is thought to have originated in Sweden and was introduced to Canada as a forage plant in the 1800s. Since it thrives in cold climates, it is particularly common in northern Canadian pastures. The plant ranges from 38-75 centimetres in height and features a small, light-pink flower. The toxin produced by the plant remains unknown, although some scientists have speculated that a mycotoxin produced from fungi on the clover may be responsible for causing disease in horses. There are two main conditions associated with alsike clover in horses. The first is photosensitization. Light-coloured skin, particularly on the face and muzzle becomes red and inflamed. Next, the outer layers die, forming unsightly and painful crusts. Skin can also swell or ooze yellow, crusting serum. Dark skin, black, brown or red areas, are unaffected. Horses may also have sores in their mouths and

experience digestive upset in the form of colic and diarrhea. Horses can recover from this form and require supportive care. This includes providing feed that is free of the clover and removing them from direct sunlight. Infected skin sores may require additional attention should they develop. The second condition associated with Alsike clover arises from chronic exposure to the clover over the long term and is generally fatal. In these cases, the exposure to the clover over at least one year repeatedly damages the liver enough to cause signs of liver disease. Over time, the liver becomes enlarged or shrinks. There is scar tissue formation, creating nodules, compromising critical functions and ultimately culminating in liver cirrhosis. This is similar to the chronic liver damage seen in alcoholic people. Affected horses lose weight and their appetite, followed by neurological conditions including excitement, depression, headpressing and lack of co-ordination. Some horses may also become jaundiced, run a fever and produce dark urine. The condition worsens and leads to coma and death in most cases. There is no specific treatment of the chronic condition so preventing consumption of the clover is important. Diagnosis of Alsike clover toxicity is based on consistent signs of disease and identifying the clover in pasture or hay. There are other toxic plants and some medications that can lead to similar-looking

photosensitization, so these need to be ruled out. Dr. Frank Schofield of the Ontario Veterinary College has conducted the only experimental studies linking Alsike clover poisoning to chronic liver disease in the 1920s and 1930s. During these years, he fed horses hay with Alsike clover. However, his results did not definitively prove that it causes liver disease and the connection remains unproven. Alsike clover poisoning appears to be more of an issue in northern areas. This is supported by a study of cases in Alberta between 1973 and 1988 by Dr. Nick Nation. Of the 28,752 horses that were submitted for autopsy examination to the Alberta Agriculture laboratories, 49 were diagnosed with the condition and 40 originated from the Peace River area of northwestern Alberta. This is an area where Alsike clover is particularly common. One of Dr. Schofield’s key observations was that horses would prefer to eat other plants if possible and that many horses avoid the clover all together. This may explain why only some horses on a given pasture with Alsike clover develop disease. It also supports the recommendation that Alsike clover should make up five percent or less of pastures so that horses have plenty of other forage plants to eat. Dr. Jamie Rothenburger is a veterinarian who practices pathology and a PhD student at the Ontario Veterinary College. Twitter: @JRothenburger

CANADIAN BEEF INDUSTRY CONFERENCE

Research seeks answers to why some cows shun calves University student hopes to discover risk factors for mismothering and develop methods to get cows to accept calves BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

CALGARY — It’s a hassle for cowcalf producers when mothering issues appear between cows and calves. A cow may not accept its calf or a twin might have to be fostered to another cow. Whatever the circumstance, it takes time and effort to get a cow and calf together if they aren’t inclined to do so on their own. Anneliese Heinrich is studying the mismothering issue as the focus of her PhD research at the University of Calgary. She showed the initial stages of the study in the poster portion of the Canadian Beef Industry Conference held Aug 15-17. “There is currently little research identifying risk factors for why cows mismother. There is also little to no research offering solutions as to the best way to get a cow to accept a calf — her own or a foster,” reads Heinrich’s poster. A survey through the Western Canadian Cow-Calf Surveillance Network is designed to provide her with more data to study the matter.

University of Calgary PhD student Anneliese Heinrich is studying the issue of mismothering in cows and calves. | BARB GLEN PHOTO Her work also began with a survey of 15 cow-calf operations near Calgary to gauge prevalence of the problem and how producers deal with it. The small sample size does not

allow Heinrich to draw conclusions but she was surprised that cows were culled in only three of 10 reported cases of mismothering. She suspected producers would take a harsher approach to cows

that had mothering issues after calving. As well, five of 10 reported cases occurred in heifers, although anecdotally the problem occurs more frequently in heifers than in cows.

Producers who reported mismothering issues spent anywhere from an hour to a week of their time trying to resolve them. The most common reasons for fostering were twins or death of the mother. The initial survey also asked producers how they dealt with crossfostering calves when the need arose. Most simply leave the pair in a pen together, but draping the hide from the cow’s dead calf onto the foster calf was also common. Reasons for mismothering are unknown, said Heinrich. “We’re trying to figure it out basically, and then hopefully come up with some solutions to help people get cows to accept calves better,” she said. Her study will also involve studying hormone profiles of cows and heifers around the time of calving to see if there’s a difference between cows and heifers and whether calving difficulty or caesarians have a relationship to mothering.

New coalition supports wheat research BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Provincial wheat commissions in Saskatchewan, Alberta and Manitoba have formed a new organization to provide long-term financial support for research that benefits the prairie wheat industry. The Canadian Wheat Research Coalition (CWRC) is a federal nonprofit organization that will provide support for varietal development and research projects that improve the profitability and competitiveness of western Canadian wheat farmers. The coalition was formed by the Alberta Wheat Commission, the Saskatchewan Wheat Commission and the Manitoba Wheat and Barley Growers Association and will administer money collected through producer levies. In a news release, the provincial commissions said the CWRC will allow provincial commissions to take a collaborative approach to supporting varietal development efforts, agronomy research and regional and national wheat projects through the Canadian National Wheat Cluster. The coalition will administer core wheat breeding agreements with Agriculture Canada and western Canadian universities involved in varietal development. “Most of the best performing wheat varieties available to farmers are the result of producer-funded wheat breeding efforts,” said Kevin

Auch, an Alberta farmer who serves as chair of the Alberta Wheat Commission (AWC). “I look forward to working with my provincial counterparts to continue this work with the goal of seeing new, high-performing varieties that result in better returns and increased competitiveness for farmers.” Elected representatives from the three provincial wheat commissions will sit on the CWRC’s inaugural farmer-led board of directors. The coalition’s structure will also allow for the addition of other directors from producer or private sector groups that have an interest in advancing the Canadian wheat industry. This will allow it to pursue funding agreements with government or private-sector partners. The formation of the CWRC coincides with the termination of the Western Canadian Deduction or WCD, a temporary producer levy that was put in place after the elimination of the Canadian Wheat Board. In an Aug. 24 interview, Sask. Wheat chair Bill Gehl said prairie wheat growers will see no changes to the way producer levies are collected. Levy money that had previously been used to support research initiatives and priorities established by the Western Grains Research Foundation (WGRF) will now be administered by the CWRC. The WGRF, meanwhile, will continue to manage revenues generated through the WGRF endowment fund valued at more than

$120 million. Railway revenues from grain that exceed the maximum revenue entitlement (MRE) will also continue to flow through the WGRF. “From a farmer perspective, they’re not really going to notice any difference,” Gehl said. “With the end of the Western Canadian Deduction, the role of the WGRF has changed as well as funding to the Canadian International Grains Institute (CIGI).” “Really, we’re just picking up where the WGRF has left off. We just have to follow the path that the WGRF has already set.” The CWRC’s initial farmer-led board will consist of Kevin Auch, Jason Saunders and Terry Young from Alberta, Ken Rosaasen, Glen Tait and Laura Reiter from Saskatchewan, and Cale Jeffries and Dylan Wiebe from Manitoba. “With the end of the WCD, we look forward to working with our fellow wheat commissions in taking on increased responsibility related to variety development,” said Jeffries.

It’s a pharmacy that offers everything from antibiotics and bag balm to pig toys and Z tags. Farmers Farmacy has expanded its reach to four outlets in Western Canada. The business, an e-commerce model with an on-line catalogue of more than 2,000 products for diary, swine, poultry, beef and sheep operations, has operated in Ontario for 20 years. The parent company, Grand Valley Fortifiers, now has pick-up and order points at its Fortified Nutrition outlets in Lethbridge, Red Deer, Brandon and Winnipeg. The service will operate out of existing locations in those cities. Customers can order there or online and pick up orders about two weeks later, said GVF Group president and chief executive officer Ian Ross. “We already have locations in Winnipeg, Brandon, Lethbridge and Red Deer with small offices and warehouses,” he said. “We thought this would be a lot easier, to offer the full catalogue of goods, which for us is about 2,000 products, to western producers if we put together an order pickup point mentality.” Ross likens it to the IKEA model. The multinational home furnishings giant offers online ordering and pickup points in cities without a giant outlet. Farmers Farmacy can do the same with no need to establish full product inventory at each location. Ross said pick-up is not an issue for farmer clients in the West who are used to travelling for goods and services. Though direct delivery is more common for farmers in Ontario, “we don’t have the colonies that actually like going to town … so a different model for different parts of the country. But we’re pretty confident this is going to work well.” Nick Korver of Fortified Nutrition Ltd. in Lethbridge agreed with that assessment. “The pickup has never been an issue because they’re in town enough anyway to just fly by here, and two minutes later they’re out the door. So it is convenient that way.” He is hopeful the expansion of Farmers Farmacy will build the Fortified Nutrition business beyond its core strength of livestock feed and nutrition. “I think it definitely is synergistic in the fact that we’re on farm a lot already on the feed side and this will just complement the feed

FAMILY HARMONY

Damaged relationships: the price of a failed succession plan MANAGING THE FARM

JONATHAN SMALL, Bsc., PAg

have read many articles about how lack of succession planning puts the financial future of farms at risk. They are attention grabbers and while I agree that the lack of or an ineffectively implemented succession plan can have financial implications, mostly farms survive. These same articles rarely talk about the hidden price of a failed succession, which is the harm to relationships. Family relationships are on the frontline of the succession process. We have all heard the stories about broken families following botched successions. If asked, the parents in those families would have said their key goals were “to keep the farm in the family and for the kids not to fight.” And yet fight they did. We all hate it when our kids fight, at whatever age. In succession planning, there are hard and soft issues. Hard issues are those that can be measured in numbers such as net worth and profitability that can be dealt with in a technical manner. Soft issues are the human side of the equation where we must understand the dynamics of the people involved. A poorly planned and executed plan may not only suffer negative financial and taxation consequences but can ruin family relationships.

every family member’s view must be represented. Parents instinctively see their children as equals; they love them equally after all. However, when it comes to the farm, and keeping it in the family, equal distribution of wealth is often impossible. That leads to the “fair versus equal” discussion and communication is the only way reach consensus and harmony. It’s important to discuss uncomfortable issues and you must make sure that whatever comes out of that process is effectively communicated to all in the family. You can plan all you like, but unless you communicate effectively around the issue of some children getting more than others, your succession plan could fail on

one of its key objectives — family harmony. You may keep the farm in the family, but it will be a divided family. Why Start Early? Although reasons vary as to why people don’t plan for succession or delay it, it typically comes down to what David Maister, in his book Strateg y and the Fat Smoker, describes: We put things off because “the reward (and pleasure) is in the future but the disruption, discomfort and discipline needed to get there are immediate.” For many, the soft issues are especially uncomfortable and parents worry about upsetting the family dynamic.

Time is Your Friend – Use It In most situations, our clients have identified the successor or successors early on and planning could have begun far sooner, giving the family more options and time to plan and implement. An early start gives family members the understanding of what to expect when the parents retire. It is important to think of succession planning not as an event but as a process that takes years. The sooner you start the more time you will have to work through the layers, evaluate multiple possibilities and have those important conversations. Time is an enormous ally in managing the succession process while

ensuring family relationships stay intact. Remember, families better their chances of success one conversation at a time. Jonathan Small is a partner in MNP’s Farm Management Consulting practice in Red Deer, Alta. He can be reached at 1.403.356.1281 or jonathan.small@mnp.ca

Soft issues? Soft issues can include unresolved conflict within the family, lack of trust among family members, unrealistic expectations and how to be fair to everyone when only one child wants be a farmer. Other issues are fear of losing control and fear of putting the family wealth and a lifetime’s work at risk. Farm owners face many difficult questions : how do I deal with unreasonable expectations or feelings of entitlement that children may have? How do I treat those that don’t want to farm? Can I still play a role in the farm business? Soft issues deserve the same degree of attention as the other issues for an effective plan—and they are often the most challenging. Communications is key One of the first steps I take when assisting clients with succession planning is to interview all family members, those actively farming and those who are not. I want to identify divergent interests but also those areas of common interest and expectations that can be built on to move the plan forward. I also want to identify potential obstacles, often soft issues that are difficult to quantify but can erode trust. There is no one-size-fits-all approach. Often when we get down to the detailed planning, it’s mom and dad and the successor at the table but

Effective nitrogen? That’s a given. Responsive nitrogen? That’s amazing. Crops really go for ESN® SMART NITROGEN®, and so does your bottom line. That’s because its unique technology responds to the same factors that spur plant growth. How does it do it? ESN is a urea granule encapsulated in a polymer coating that protects the nitrogen from loss through leaching, volatilization and denitriﬁcation. ESN technology controls its release to match plant demand based on soil temperature. Your crops get the nitrogen they need, when they need it. That’s what we mean by responsive. Minimize N loss.
