WTO appeal disappoints

Glencore upset Viterra plan

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

The U.S. decision to appeal a World Trade Organization ruling against its country-of-origin labelling law was no surprise, but disappointing for those who want the issue concluded. The office of the U.S. trade representative released the decision March 23. The first oral arguments are expected in April or May. The Canadian Cattlemen’s Association and Canadian Pork Council have collaborated with the federal government in opposing the mandatory rule since it was implemented in September 2008. “We were expecting this thing, but disappointed when it happened, also. We have to look at some of the details of the appeal,” said Martin Unrau, a Manitoba rancher and president of the cattlemen’s association. “We are going to be in contact with government to ensure we play a part in moving forward,” he said. They want legislative change that does not leave the Canadian industry at a competitive disadvantage. Mexico was also involved in the complaint.

Viterra’s acquisition | ‘It was eat or be eaten, and I guess in this case we got eaten,’ says AIMCo BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Viterra was in the midst of attempting a sizable acquisition when it received a friendly takeover bid from Glencore, says Viterra’s largest shareholder. “We were contemplating the same thing that Glencore is contemplating now — gobbling up the competition,” said Leo de Bever, chief executive officer of Alberta Investment Management Corporation (AIMCo) “It was eat or be eaten, and I guess in this case we got eaten.” Viterra’s target was another international grain handling company. “I’d rather not get into specifics, but it was a big acquisition,” he said. There were rumours that Viterra was after Gavilon, an American energy and grain trader. AIMCo encouraged and played a key role in financing Viterra’s 2009 purchase of Australia’s ABB Grain Ltd. for $1.5 billion. The company was ready to invest up to $1 billion in additional capital to help Viterra take the next step in becoming one of the world’s top five grain companies. However, Viterra faced some challenges in its latest takeover attempt. “I can’t say too much, but there were some regulatory issues,” said de Bever. GLENCORE TAKEOVER, PAGE 2 »

GLENCORE/ VITERRA | FROM PAGE ONE

Glencore upset Viterra plan He lamented being unable to fulfill his company’s goal of transforming Viterra into a true global grain handling powerhouse. “It’s too bad that the building up of Viterra’s capacity didn’t start earlier because if it had we might be on the other side of the (Glencore) transaction,” he said. He dismissed allegations that AIMCo prompted the sale to Glencore. In November, AIMCo succeeded in getting one of its representatives appointed to Viterra’s board of directors after publicly expressing a lack of confidence in the board’s ability to run a growing international agribusiness. Critics say AIMCo, which manages $70 billion of pension and endowment assets for Alberta’s public service, was looking to make a quick buck by selling off Canada’s largest grain company to a foreign owner. “That certainly wasn’t our first choice,” said de Bever. However, Glencore’s offer was simply too good to pass up both in terms of the bid of $16.25 per share and the partnership with Richardson International and Agrium Inc., Glencore’s two Canadian partners, which should go a long way toward appeasing regulators. “Roughly speaking, we doubled our money,” said de Bever. “It’s very unusual to do that in two years.” That’s why he decided to support the deal, entering into an agreement with Glencore to endorse the transaction. AIMCo owns 17 percent of Viterra.

The deal requires approval from two-thirds of the votes cast by shareholders at a special meeting to be held in May. “Given a choice between a course of action that would have generated a very solid return in about five years versus one where I could capitalize on that investment right away, I really couldn’t do anything different from what I did,” said de Bever. He regrets losing AIMCo’s foothold in the western Canadian agriculture business. De Bever has seen studies saying the demand for high protein food will be up 70 percent in 15 years. Other studies predict Canada, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Argentina and Australia will be the only five net grain exporting regions of the world by that time. “That’s why AIMCo has been so interested in agriculture and we’re still interested in agriculture. We think this is a sector where Western Canada has an under-utilized resource base,” he said.

“We are not opposed to country-oforigin labeling,” Unrau said. “It is the mandatory things where they have to have segregation in the killing plant. That is what is knocking us down.” The processing sector is now forced to sort and separate animals based on nationality, creating four different categories of born, raised, slaughtered and mixed origin. That adds costs and many U.S. processors have decided it is cheaper to procure only domestic animals. The law requires all grocery stores to label food by country of origin, but the WTO ruling applies only to meat. “COOL increased cost and created inefficiencies without improving consumer information,” pork council chair Jean-Guy Vincent said in a statement. The WTO said the U.S. has the right to label products by country of origin but agreed the rule discriminated against live cattle and hogs exported to the United States, resulting in lower prices and less demand. Exports for both commodities fell sharply after the rule went into effect. Analyst and agricultural economist Glynn Tonor said the decision to appeal could be a mistake. “Most people expected WTO to rule in favour of Canada and Mexico against the U.S.,” he said. “I would submit the U.S. appealing it may not be the best response. It is debatable whether it will change the outcome.”

Based at Kansas State University, Tonor is leading a consumer awareness study on COOL funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Preliminary results show twothirds of those interviewed did not know the rule existed. The study started in June 2010 with conclusions expected this summer. “The average consumer doesn’t even know COOL exists and the average consumer does not look at origin when they make a purchasing visit,” he said. Opinions have been split. The American Meat Institute, which represents packers and processors, and the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association do not favour a mandatory labelling law. R-CALF and the National Farmer’s Union want the rule to protect the U.S. food system. During its annual meeting earlier this month, the NFU decided that it wants the U.S. trade representative to negotiate with Canada and Mexico to resolve the dispute and preserve the law. If that fails, then the WTO ruling must be appealed to protect domestic markets and differentiate U.S. products for consumers. The law requires that retail outlets provide country-of-origin information on muscle cuts and ground meat from beef, veal, pork, lamb, goat, and chicken as well as wild and farm-raised fish and shellfish, fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables, peanuts, pecans, macadamia nuts and ginseng.

VITERRA/GLENCORE | WHAT’S NEXT?

Viterra sale in hands of regulators More analysis needed | Competition Bureau will review Glencore, Agrium, Richardson deal BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

A deal to purchase and divide the assets of Viterra Inc. is in the hands of shareholders and regulators. Farmers and industry observers are waiting to see if the $6.1 billion acquisition offer from Glencore International PLC stands. Richard Gray, an agricultural economist at the University of Saskatchewan, said more analysis is required before the true impact of t h e Ma rc h 2 0 t a k e ov e r b i d i s known. “I think there’s probably a need for the Competition Bureau to look at which grain facilities are being purchased and similarly, with respect to Agrium, fertilizer (facilities),” he said. Glencore intends to sell 90 percent of Viterra’s retail agri-products facilities, all of its Australian retail facilities and its 34 percent stake in a Medicine Hat, Alta., nitrogen processing facility to Agrium Inc. for $1.15 billion plus working capital. It will also sell grain handling, crop input and processing facilities to Richardson International for $900 million plus working capital. Glencore characterized this deal as 23 percent of grain handling, storage and port capacity. Glencore will keep the remaining Viterra assets in Canada and Australia in a move designed to broaden its agricultural reach. It will maintain Regina as the head office of its North American operations. Glencore and Agrium shareholders still have to vote on the deal, and the federal government will review it from both foreign takeover and competition perspectives. Richard Downey, Agrium’s vice-

Glencore and Richardson will each have about 35 percent of Canada’s grain handling business. | FILE PHOTO president of investor and corporate relations, said the agri-products retail business is competitive and will remain so. Agrium is planning to acquire 232 of Viterra’s 258 farm centres and add them to its existing network of 65. That will make Agrium the biggest retailer in Canada. Downey expects the Competition Bureau will review the deal carefully, particularly on a regional basis. “It’s a pretty competitive space on the retail side,” he said. “There are independents and many other retailers out there as well. It’s a matter of choices the farmer has in each and every area.” Glencore’s lawyers haven’t released a complete asset list, but Richardson has made public a list of w hat i t w i l l g e t. It s p u rc ha s e

includes 25 percent ownership in Cascadia Terminal at Vancouver, a terminal in Thunder Bay, Can-Oat Milling in Portage La Prairie, Man., Martensville, Sask., and Barrhead, Alta., and 21st Century Grain Processing and its oat processing plant in South Sioux City, Nebraska, and a wheat mill in Dawn, Texas. It will also buy 19 grain elevators and the crop input centres at those elevators. Chief executive officer Curt Vossen said there are only two places where Richardson already has a facility: Carrot River, Sask., and Vulcan, Alta. However, both of those locations are in regions where there are several other grain handlers operating. “I think in both cases we’re confident that it will stand the test of the Competition Bureau,” he said.

However, Gray noted that the list of 19 also includes Regina EastWhite City, where Richardson already has a presence. “That’s one that Richardson is going to actually purchase so they’re not spreading out. They’re concentrating in particular regions,” he said. “Secondly, you’ve got this issue that Agrium, being a manufacturer, now has a little larger share of the manufacturing but also has this vertical integration that would make them very difficult to compete against in the fertilizer business.” Chris Mahoney, Glencore’s director of agricultural products, said the arrangements it has made will increase competition. “We will keep the majority of the Canadian storage and handling assets at port facilities,” he said in an interview. “We are not present in Canada or even North America at the moment.” Viterra now has a market share of 45 percent, but the acquisition will leave Richardson and Glencore with no more than 35 percent each, Mahoney added. Currently, Richardson’s share is 25 percent. “It’s a much less concentrated, competitive landscape,” he said. “We’re a lot closer to the size of our respective competitors. We’re equal in size with each other and neither one of us is as big as Viterra is today. I think that’s good for farmers.” Terry Boehm, president of the National Farmers Union, said there may be two companies in a location where there previously had been one, but that doesn’t mean competition will result. “I would be very surprised to see any significant competition that would result in tangible savings for farmers,” he said in a statement.

For the first time in recent memory, Alberta’s governing Progressive Conservative party appears to have strong challengers as voters in the province head to the polls. After weeks of speculation, Alberta premier Alison Redford called an election for April 23. “This election will be a defining moment, where we will decide what we want the future to be and how we want to conduct ourselves,” Redford said on the steps of the Alberta legislature March 26. While seven parties have candidates running, the PCs biggest threat comes from the right wing Wildrose party, under leader Danielle Smith. Since being elected leader in 2009, Smith has crossed the province gathering support, especially in rural areas where she has targeted the government’s position on land-use rights. Smith does not have a seat in the legislature. Meanwhile, Redford will try to lead her party to its 12th election victory. She was elected leader in October and has since run on a platform of change. Less than half of the sitting PC MLAs are not running for re-election, which throws some traditionally safe Tory seats up for grabs. The PCs have been in power since 1971. Going into the election, the PCs have 67 seats, followed by the Liberals with eight, Wildrose with four, the NDP with two and the Alberta Party with one. Four more seats have been added, making 87 ridings in the province. Janice Simpkins, reeve of the northern Alberta Municipal District of Greenview, believes social media will play an important role. “I think you’re going to find more people will be engaged that way and seek the information that way, but I think you have to remember it’s a bubble. There are only so many people engaged in social media. If they really want it to be effective, they have to find a way to engage the people who are not yet there,” said Simpkins. “The person who can figure out how to get the people who are not yet on social media, if you can get those people involved, you’ll be headed in the right direction.” Bob Barss, president of the Alberta Association of Municipal Districts and Counties, said the group plans to send messages to all candidates. “We don’t know who is going to be in the legislature when the election is over. Our mandate is to work with everyone,” said Barss. The NDP, led by Brian Mason, are hoping to replace the Liberals, led by Raj Sherman, as the main opposition from the centre left.

Glencore: who? why? what now?

Canadian firms buy Viterra assets

Lacking North American presence | The Swiss company produces and markets commodities such as minerals, metals, energy and agricultural products and hopes to expand its worldwide influence STORIES BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Canadian grain industry executives knew Viterra wouldn’t last long under the open market, but they didn’t foresee a takeover happening this fast or with this particular buyer. “I have to be honest, I was a bit surprised it was Glencore. But good for them and I think it will make a fairly strong company,” said Adr ian Measner, president of Soumat Inc. and former chief executive officer of the Canadian Wheat Board. He thought the buyer would be a more familiar name such as Archer Daniels Midland or Bunge. “Glencore had been more focused on marketing than on infrastructure but have decided there is value in having infrastructure, so they moved in a very big way,” said Measner. Br ian Hayward, president of Aldare Resources and former chief executive officer of United Grain Growers and Agricore United, said Glencore is a young firm that has grown rapidly. It hasn’t been very active in Canada. “Generally in North America, they’ve not been highly visible,” he said.“There wasn’t too many people six months or a year ago saying this was a company that’s on the radar screen. The usual suspects were the likes of Bunge and ADM, et cetera.” So who is Glencore? The company was formed in 1974 as Marc Rich & Co AG. According to Wikipedia, Marc Rich is a billionaire commodity trader who was charged in the United States with tax evasion and illegal business dealings in Iran but pardoned by president Bill Clinton in 2001. The company was renamed Glencore International in 1994 when management bought out Rich. Glencore has its critics. An Al Jazeera article about the company suggests Glencore uses its “immense market power” and questionable tactics to manipulate world grain prices. There are allegations of illegal activity and shady mining deals with the likes of Iraq, Iran and South Africa’s apartheid government. Leo de Bever, chief executive officer of Viterra’s largest shareholder, Alberta Investment Management Corporation (AIMCo), isn’t too shocked by the criticism. “Does (Glencore) have enemies? Yes it does, like any mining company,” he said. “Mining is not a pretty picture no matter how you do it, so there are people who are opposed to Glencore or Xstrata or any other company.” His quick analysis of Glencore has found no major red flags. “By all accounts, it seems to be a respectable company,” said de Bever. “From what I’ve heard from them, their heart seems to be in the right place. Could they be snowing you? I don’t know, that’s always a possibility.” The Swiss company has become the world’s largest commodity trader, posting revenues of $186 billion in 2011. The firm hasn’t had much of a pres-

ence in the North American grain industry, which is the main reason Viterra was such an appealing target. Glencore produces and markets commodities such as minerals, metals, energy and agricultural products. De Bever questioned the company about that product mix when Glencore met with AIMCo to sell it on its proposed takeover of Viterra. “I said, ‘you know, this is weird. You’ve got grain and you’ve got metals and minerals.’ They said the common denominator is they see themselves as a very good company in the way of logistics,” said de Bever. “It is the efficient transfer of the resource that they pride themselves on.” Glencore has a 60 percent share of the world zinc trade, 50 percent of the copper market and nine percent of the international grain trade. Glencore’s agriculture division generated $17.1 billion of revenue in 2011, which represents nine percent of the firm’s total revenues that year. The company is one of the leading

grain exporters in Europe, Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Argentina and Australia. Its customers are primarily located in North Africa, the Middle East and Asia. “Obviously, Viterra has a very different geographic footprint,” Chris Mahoney, director of agricultural products at Glencore, told reporters during a news conference. “Everything we see is complimentary, not only in terms of geography but in terms of commodities and products as well.” He confirmed Measner’s suspicion that the deal was about acquiring infrastructure. “We viewed it as a very asset rich company. We did not and we do not view it as the acquisition of traders or a trading company,” said Mahoney. The Viterra purchase will make Glencore a much bigger player in the agriculture industry by giving it a major North American presence and expanding its sphere of influence in Australia. Viterra posted revenues of $11.8 billion in 2011, a portion of which was generated from assets that are going to Richardson International and Agrium Inc., Glencore’s Canadian partners in the friendly takeover of Canada’s largest grain handler. In Canada, Glencore will be retaining 63 elevators and five export terminals. In Australia, it gains another

The Viterra purchase is not the company’s first dealings with a Canadian grain company. Last July, Glencore invested $8.5 million for a 15 percent share in Legumex Walker Inc.’s Pacific Coast Canola, a canola crushing project in Warden, Washington. Measner expects it is the first domino in what could be a series of grain industry transactions in Western Canada. “This happened quicker than I expected. Everybody was talking a couple years down the road. It would take a year for people to sort of get the lay of the land and then we’d start to see some big changes. This caught everybody a bit off guard,” he said. “This will create urgency on some additional moves, and those may happen sooner rather than later.” FOR MORE ON THE GLENCORE TAKEOVER, SEE PAGE 120

Glencore International is simultaneously getting rid of some of its newly acquired grain handling assets and promising to expand its remaining fleet of Canadian grain elevators and port terminals. In an effort to appease Canadian regulators, Glencore entered into an agreement with Richardson International to sell the rival grain company 19 elevators, its 25 percent share in Cascadia Terminal in Vancouver and one of its terminals in Thunder Bay. Richardson said the deal will result in a reshuffling of market power in the western Canadian grain handling industry. Viterra controlled 45 percent of the market and Richardson 25 percent. After the deal, each company is expected to have about a 35 percent share of the market, which Glencore hopes will mollify the Competition Bureau. However, Glencore doesn’t intend to rest on its laurels. In a news release announcing its purchase of Viterra, the company said it plans to expand the Canadian business. Chris Mahoney, director of agricultural products at Glencore, expanded on that commitment during a conference call with reporters. “Because of the undoubted need for Canadian production to grow and Canadian exports to grow, we expect to invest further in handling infrastructure and port infrastructure,” he said. Mahoney said the company plans to expand its reach into the United States through acquisitions, but in Canada the growth will likely be “organic” from now on. Glencore also intends to increase Viterra’s contributions to wheat research and global food security initiatives at western Canadian research and educational institutions. However, there is one aspect of the business where Glencore appears to be unwilling to invest. It has agreed to sell 90 percent of its newly acquired crop input business to Agrium Inc. and another 13 stores to Richardson. Adrian Measner, president of Soumat and former chief executive officer of the Canadian Wheat Board, can understand that strategy. “They seem to want to focus on their core competencies and that makes a lot of sense to me. They are a marketing organization. They know grain very well,” he said. Brian Hayward, president of Aldare Resources and former chief executive officer of United Grain Growers and Agricore United, said merchandising grain requires a different mindset than selling crop inputs. One of his greatest challenges as CEO of Agricore United was managing those two divergent cultures and mindsets. Grain merchandising is a trade mentality where people are mindful of managing expenses like advertising. Retailing inputs is a high margin business that is all about spending money on branded products. “There are some companies that just go, ‘you know what? It’s not our expertise. We’ve never been good at it, so let’s just stick to what we do well,’ ” said Hayward.

SPECIAL REPORT

A

ustralia’s farmers are feeling their way forward in the new world of marketing freedom. But those seeking a black and white answer on whether the country’s grain industry is better off today than it was a decade ago are not likely to find it among the nation’s farmers. Australian producers, depending on the size of their farms, their proximity to markets and their personal philosophies, remain largely split on whether the elimination of single desk marketing has been positive or negative. Some say selling wheat in a deregulated market has led to better prices, albeit in a market that is more prone to short-term volatility. Others insist that Australia has given up a system that marketed farmers’ grain efficiently and inexpensively, managed the country’s grain inventory well and minimized grower risk by offering guaranteed minimum pricing. Bu t w h e t h e r t h e y s u p p o r t o r oppose single desk marketing, most agree that the Australian grain industry is experiencing growing pains, said fifth generation grain grower Stewart Gall. “There’s lots of things that we’ve learned over the last three or four years, and I think we’ve probably got another three or four to go before we figure things out,” said Gall, who grows grain and pulses on 15,000 acres near Moree, New South Wales. “We have a deregulated market, we just don’t have a mature deregulated market yet,” added Wayne Newton, a producer from Dalby, Queensland. “It will develop but it’s going to take time … because people still have to get used to doing business in a new way.” When Australia was in the process of deregulating, much of the debate between single desk supporters and open market advocates was focused on farmgate wheat prices, Gall said. But in retrospect, many producers acknowledge that the farmgate price of wheat was just one consideration in a complex equation. Today, the industry is still dealing with a multitude of issues closely related to deregulation, he said. They include changing demands on the country’s grain handling infrastructure, concerns over delivery bottlenecks, ongoing questions surrounding port access, lingering rumours about the declining quality of Australian grain exports and perceived gaps in services that benefit the entire industry, such as market discovery and overseas customer support. There are also concerns about industry consolidation, the lack of regional competition and the commercial relationship between large bulk handling companies that own country handling facilities and smaller grain exporters that don’t own their own facilities. “A lot of people thought that when we lost our single desk, that the price of wheat was going to go down, but in reality, the price of wheat on Chicago was not going to change regardless of whether Australia had a single desk or not,” Gall said. “In my experience, the single desk did not govern the world price of wheat, but its elimination did affect how our grain moves to market and it did have an impact on supply chain costs.”

Growing Pains Farming in the land down under | Western Producer reporter Brian Cross is in Australia to meet grain industry experts and talk to farmers in the post Australian Wheat Board era. He will explore how the grain handling industry has fared since it completed its transition from a single desk to an open market in 2008, and whether it holds any lessons for Canadians.

Andrew Weidemann, who farms near Rupanyup, Victoria, says the addition of bins on his farm eliminated storage and handling fees and gave him more control over marketing decisions. | BRIAN CROSS PHOTO Gall said one of the most immediate consequences of deregulation — at least in Australia’s eastern states — was its impact on grain movement and logistics. Australia, like Canada, faces challenges in moving grain to export position. Limited rail capacity is one of them. When it held an export monopoly, the Australian Wheat Board became adept at maximizing supply chain efficiencies, minimizing delivery bottlenecks and timing the movement of wheat from country collection sites to port terminals. But Gall said demands on the country’s grain handling infrastructure changed when new export companies entered the market. “Under deregulation, all of these new exporters wanted to export all of this crop in a three-month window because in some cases, they didn’t have the (financial) capacity to carry it,” he said. “They had to finance that grain … so

obviously they wanted to move it to market as quickly as possible. I think that was one of our first real concerns after de-regulation was that we seemed to be having a lot of (delivery) bottlenecks … and a lot of issues with foreign buyers not getting their grain on time.” Concerns over the quality of wheat exports were not far behind. With few exceptions, stakeholders in the Australian grain industry say the country’s reputation for deliver-

ing top quality wheat has eroded since deregulation, or at least foreign buyers suggest that. But pinpointing reasons for that erosion has been difficult. Some critics point to blending practices at bulk grain handling sites and suggest that the industry has failed to adequately identify and segregate different classes of wheat. Others suggest that overall wheat quality, particularly during Australia’s record 2011-12 harvest, was well below average. Still others blame the proliferation of containerized wheat shipments, which they say are scrutinized less thoroughly than bulk shipments. Containerized wheat shipments have grown rapidly since deregulation as new export companies seek to serve small overseas customers that require small quantities of grain for milling and processing purposes. Non-bulk wheat exports, primarily containerized grain, accounted for more than 30 percent of Australia’s

total wheat exports in the five months that ended March 1. Alison Watkins, chief executive officer of GrainCorp, one of the country’s largest exporters and bulk handling companies, said there is a perception that the quality of Australia’s grain exports has diminished. However, she suggested that the quality meets export specifications in the majority of cases, whereas previously the AWB may have consistently exceeded requirements. “They (the AWB) ensured that (premium) customers got more than what they were asking for and I think, understandably, those customers got quite (accustomed) to that.” Watkins said exporters in the new system are attempting to extract the maximum value out of shipments and importers of Australian wheat are adjusting their expectations. She said it will take time for the Australian wheat industry to “recalibrate customers’ expectations.” It will also take time for marketers to re-establish some of the value-added services that the AWB traditionally provided, such as technical advise and customer follow-up. “One of the challenges in a deregulated environment is finding a neutral party to lead some of those industry good activities,” she said. Watkins added that many recent quality challenges were a function of the unusually large harvest rather than deregulation. As for the movement of grain from country to port, she suggested that larger grain volumes and more marketing choices have added complexity to the system. “What we used to see was that most grains went into a pool and were marketed that way, so … the AWB was really in the driver’s seat as far as marketing went.” Today, growers can choose who they want to market with and when they want to sell their grain. Andrew Weidemann, president of the Victoria Farmers’ Federation’s grains group, agreed the industry continues to evolve. “There is life after the single desk; it’s just how you manage it,” said Weidemann, a self-professed supporter of single desk marketing. Weidemann, who farms 8,000 acres near Rupanyup, Victoria, said critical issues must be resolved. For starters, the industry must ensure efficient transportation to export position. Investment in better rail systems is a key consideration, as is regulated access at the country’s port facilities. In the absence of single desk marketing, wheat growers and other stakeholders must also figure out who will deliver “industry good” services that benefit the entire industry. “That was a failure here in Australia. We didn’t have a stabilization package that was offered to the industry, probably because we were too busy fighting tooth and nail to retain the single desk and we never really stopped to realize all the industry-good functions that the AWB was serving until after it had basically been wound up. “If I had one message to growers in Canada that would probably be it. Make sure you get something from government to stabilize the industry after deregulation.” FOR RELATED STORIES, SEE PAGES 20, 21

Consider oats despite outlook Fundamentals bullish | Analyst says prices may ‘explode’ next autumn if there is a shortfall

Canadian durum prices may climb BY SEAN PRATT

When the markets tell you to seed almost anything but oats, why seed oats? And when the weather tells you to seed wheat, why sow oats? Those are questions prairie farmers face, and if oat prices don’t rise relative to other crops, many think its acreage could be lower than expected. “We haven’t made up our mind yet, and we probably won’t until seeding time,” said long-time, dedicated oat grower Dwayne Anderson of Fosston, Sask., about the oats-versuswheat-versus-barley decision. “Anyone who’s got payments coming up and needs to lock in cash flow, your programs with feed barley are way better. And wheat is easy to grow and easy to sell.” Oat prices recently shot higher, but missed most of the winter rally that lifted many crop prices. T h e m i d Ma rc h ra l l y d i d n o t improve oats’ relative returns outlook, because other crops rallied too. When it comes to profitability per acre, oats still comes in at the bottom of the list. In crop-to-crop comparisons all winter oats fared poorly, while both malting barley and feed barley have been among the most profitable. Spring wheat is in the middle of the pack. Another strike against the crop is the difficultly in managing wild oat problems, so most farmers don’t have an inherent incentive to seed it instead of wheat. Anderson said oats could become attractive to farmers if seeding windows and frost-free day calculations create the expectation of a short growing season, but right now the opposite appears likely. Farmers could soon be seeding, so why not seed wheat instead? “Oats is really going to have a tough time getting acres,” said Anderson. Chicago oat futures have been weak for months compared to other cereals. Some were surprised to see hedge funds and other speculative investment pools selling oat futures positions even while other crops were rallying. access=subscriber section=markets,news,none

Oat prices need to rise to steal wheat and barley acres. | Scott Merrihew of O’Bryan Commodities in Chicago, an active oat trader, said he thinks the funds were selling oats based on technical signals, but now seem to be moving into a neutral position. Without that pressure oats could become more tightly connected to corn, the main driver of feedgrain prices. “It now feels like you’re going to get a bit closer correlation with what corn’s doing,” said Merrihew.

Corn prices tend to strongly lead oat prices, while wheat prices follow corn less reliably. Merrihew thinks the bullish corn outlook compared to a less bullish oat outlook has caused some traders to lock in spreads by selling oats and buying corn, but that trade is probably coming to an end. Farmers have become reluctant sellers of oats in recent months, hoping for better prices, but so far the

market has disappointed. Randy Strychar of Oatinsight.com said the funds have hammered oat prices all winter, even though his fundamental outlook is bullish for 2012-13. Commercial buyers and users of oats have tried at various times this winter to buy oats to strengthen prices and ensure farmers want to seed the crop, but each time funds piled in and drove down the price. Strychar said 3.2 to 3.6 million acres are needed to meet demands, and farmers are generally believed to be planning to plant within that range. That leaves little room for error. Strychar said oat prices need to rise 20 to 40 cents per bushel compared to wheat and barley to draw in more than 3.6 million acres. However, he urges farmers to have faith in oats, even if the markets are doing nothing to support that faith. The supply and demand situation in 2012-13 could be extremely bullish, and pr ices could “explode” in November or December. But at present prices, there’s no reason to lock in prices. “We’re telling farmers to seed, not sell,” said Strychar. “We are way undervalued.”

Durum crops in Spain and Morocco have been hit hard by drought. A report by the U.S. Department of Agriculture forecasts 2.3 million tonnes of wheat and durum production in Morocco in 2012-13, down from 5.8 million tonnes the previous year. Some agriculture experts are comparing this year’s drought to the ones in 2007 and 1999-2000. If that turns out to be the case, production could be even lower than the USDA estimate. Morocco was the top buyer of Canadian durum in 2010-11, so any shortfall in its crop is welcome news for Canadian growers. Spain is also suffering a severe drought. Erica Olson, marketing specialist with the North Dakota Wheat Commission, said Spanish growers have already lost one-third of their durum crop. Spain is the third largest durum producer in the European Union, which is the largest durum producing region in the world. Bruce Burnett, director of weather and market analysis with the CWB, said the combination of poor crops in Spain and Morocco is positive news for durum markets. “The prices are going to have to start to reflect that,” he said. Production shortfalls often take a long time to work their way into the market, but prices will eventually rise, although Burnett doesn’t think it will be enough of a bump to make durum a favoured choice for North American farmers. Olson said durum cash prices haven’t moved much in the United States because of a lack of trade in the commodity, but she believes the problems in Morocco and Spain will be reflected in prices by the time the new crop year begins in August. “If (Morocco’s) own domestic crop is not looking very good, that bodes well for export potential because they’re a very large consumer of durum. It’s a very important crop for them.” The USDA report didn’t break down production by type of wheat, but Burnett said durum generally

can sell at the highest margin. The only way to do that is to offer basis levels that provide the highest net returns per acre. “They want to keep the high volume, high quality wheat markets,” said Squair. Many analysts suggest that the postCWB era will see more high volume, lower quality wheat grown on the Prairies, and Squair said he thinks Glencore will find some way to signal whether that sort of grain will move fast and sell for a good net return. “I think they’ll want both high quality and high volume, to keep the bestpaying, highest quality customers from places like Japan, but also be able to move bulk to buyers who don’t need the top quality,” said Squair. He agreed with Glencore’s arguments that its global presence and market intelligence will allow it to move grain into the best paying mar-

kets and to reveal which types of grain will bring the best buck. “It’ll connect up much better with the rest of the world,” said Squair. How Glencore plans to conduct business with farmers remains to be seen, making the murky post-Aug. 1 wheat marketing situation even more opaque. Will it do futuresbased forward contracting or offer basis contracts? And will it offer pooling for the CWB? Pooling is still an open question, with even Cargill’s deal with the new CWB still to be fully evolved. Glencore suggested it would be open to organizations like the CWB moving grain through its system, but has not been specific. “As appropriate, Glencore also intends to grant third party access to its handling infrastructure at prevailing market rates,” said the Glencore statement announcing the purchase of Viterra. Tjaden Lepp said farmers will probably enjoy doing business with Glencore because it might be simple. Glencore will probably try to have the most competitive basis on the Prairies because it doesn’t have other incentives to offer. “It’ll be like doing business with

of quality problems with Canada’s 2010-11 harvest. Burnett said Spain often supplies durum to other EU countries and to the Mediterranean region, but it won’t be in the market this year. In fact, a portion of whatever durum it

produces may go into the domestic feed market because of a likely shortfall in Spain’s wheat and barley crops. Durum markets will also be influenced by North American acreage this spring. Burnett is forecasting 4.45 million

Some marketing advisers say Glencore grain elevators will likely want to buy the kinds of wheat that makes farmers the most money and will try to buy it in the way farmers find easiest. They say separating the elevator system from a more full service grain company organization will give Glencore a chance to focus on buying and selling just grain. “They won’t be all about the bundling programs,” said Brenda Tjaden Lepp of FarmLink Marketing Solutions, referring to complex arrangements many prairie grain companies have with farmers involving many goods and services. “(Prairie companies) have built their relationships around this culture of tying together the financing and the inputs and the basis. For a new player, it would be refreshing to just use the basis, the way it works in most other places.” Derek Squair of Agri-Trend Marketing said Glencore will want to move lots of grain as efficiently as possible, so it will want to encourage farmers to grow the types of wheat it

comprises one-quarter to one-third of Morocco’s wheat plantings. He said durum may fare better than Morocco’s soft wheat because it is more drought tolerant. However, there is no question the country will be more reliant on imports to bolster supplies. The USDA is forecasting 5.6 million tonnes of Moroccan wheat and durum imports in 2012-13, up from a forecast of 3.2 million tonnes in the current crop year. Morocco has suspended its 170 percent duty on durum imports until the end of April. Canada is the top supplier of durum to Morocco, although its market share fell to 61 percent in 2011 from 86 percent in 2010 because

acres in Canada, up from 4.02 million acres last year. Current prices aren’t attractive, but some of the acres lost to flooding in 2011 will be back in production in 2012. Olson anticipates 2.2 million acres of U.S. durum, which would be a huge

increase from the 1.4 million acres last year but well below the long-term average of 2.55 million acres. Burnett thinks that is a conservative number. He expects to see an average U.S. crop because of attractive crop insurance values.

ACREAGE BATTLES | CANOLA BENEFITS

Oilseeds rally to ensure supply as South American crop fades MARKET WATCH

D’ARCE MCMILLAN

O

ilseed price support from the North American acreage battle trumped worries about slowing economic activity in China and the European Union that threatened to derail canola and soybean prices last week. May canola topped $600 per tonne early last week but then fell more than $10 over the next couple of days

as traders worried about demand as China’s economy weakens. But by the end of the week oilseeds were again rising and early this week May canola again climbed above $600. Oilseed’s strength is partly due to the acreage battle in the United States. Although corn’s price is down a bit from recent highs, its level still has an edge over soybeans, particularly given the prospect of an early start to seeding in the U.S. Midwest. But with forecasts for Brazil’s soybean crop dropping, there is pressure to stop a U.S. soybean acreage decline, so the market is trying push soybean futures higher to attract adequate seeded area. The latest forecast on Brazil’s crop now pegs it at two to four million tonnes less than the U.S. Department

strength because of tight supply and strong demand. Although wheat is considered the weak man of the major crops because of large global stocks and expectations of a big 2012 crop, its outlook could improve a little. With corn and soybean prices so high, North Dakota farmers might favour them over spring wheat and durum this spring, meaning U.S. wheat production might not be as large as earlier thought. Robert Arnason has a story on North Dakota’s seeding prospects on page 105. We’ll get a better idea of what American farmers plan to seed March 30 when the USDA releases its seeding intentions report. Reuters surveyed 19 analysts before the report for their thoughts on U.S.

seeding. U.S. plantings of spring wheat other than durum ranged from 12 million acres to a high of 14.5 million. The average was 13.313 million acres, which would be the fourth lowest in the last 20 years. Also supporting wheat is news that cropping conditions in the European Union are not as good as they could be. It appears the dry weather affecting much of the continent is making it hard for frost-damaged crops to recover. Frost damage in Germany, eastern France, Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic appears worse than initially forecast. That, combined with the lack of rain, is raising concerns about the 2012 crop.

Weaker feeder futures coupled with rising grain prices pushed bids lower and all classes of steers and heifers were lower. Recent snow and rain in parts of Western Canada renewed interest in grass cattle. Given the tight supplies of lighter calves and the pull back in feeder prices, some buyers with an interest in putting cattle on grass bought heavier feeders. Weekly feeder exports were strong at almost 6,000 head for the week ending March 10. Calf supplies will likely tighten, supporting prices.

on light to moderate demand and offering. Beef demand is being pulled in two directions. High gasoline prices are reducing consumers’ ability to buy beef, but warmer than normal weather in the eastern U.S. and Canada has caused people to fire up barbecues, encouraging beef buying. Weekly Canadian cut-out values to March 16 were steady to $4 per cwt. higher. Montreal wholesale for delivery this week was anticipated steady at $213-$215 per cwt.

exceeded expectations. March 1 supply in feedlots was 11.68 million, up three percent over last year, the largest in four years. Placements in February were 1.71 million, up three percent, also the most in four years. Marketings in February were 1.76 million, down two percent. Other disappearance was 93,000, up 52 percent. Cattle that were in feedlots moved back to pasture once moisture improved grass in Texas.

U.S. BEEF LOWER

CANOLA TOPPED $600 PER TONNE THIS WEEK of Agriculture’s March forecast of 68.5 million tonnes. Crop forecaster AgRural puts Brazil’s soybean crop at 66.7 million tonnes. Oil seed analyst Oil World puts it at 66.5 million tonnes, but warns the crop could fall as low as 64.5 million tonnes and that prices would likely top $14 a bushel. The strong support for soybean prices is helping to keep canola firm, although it also has independent

CANFAX REPORT FED PRICES RISE U.S. cash prices for fed cattle edged h i g h e r a n d Ca na d i a n p a c k e r s showed improved interest in the cash market despite having a comfortable owned supply. They were prodded by buying interest from northern U.S. packers. When the loonie dropped below par on March 22, it also supported Canadian prices. The Canfax average price for steers was $116.54 per hundredweight, up $1.92, and heifers were $116.19, up $2.28. Prices are running $6.50-$7.50 higher than the same time last year. Alberta rail steers and heifers were $193.75 per cwt. The show list volume was steady with the previous week, and the improved prices promoted marketing of clean-up pens of yearlings. Most of the trade was live. Feedlots are relatively current as they move from yearlings to calves. Sales for the week totalled 14,289 head, down 11 percent from the previous week. The cash-to-futures basis improved $2.26 to close at -$7.73. Weekly exports to March 10 totalled 11,050, up 23 percent and the largest this year.

The renewed interest from the United States could force Canadian packers to bid higher to keep cattle in Canada. However, weaker beef prices mean packers are fighting to hold margins. Packer interest for age verified calves is strong and could uncover a slight premium.

COWS STEADY The larger than expected number of cull cows going to market is defying the normal trend in March and has kept prices in check. D1, D2 cows were mostly steady at $70-$84 to average $77.05 per cwt.D3 cows were $62-$77 to average $70. Rail grade was $145-$150. Prices should start to move up if volume tightens as it normally does, but there might be a cap because beef imports into North America are higher than a year ago. Non-fed exports to March 10 were down 30 percent from the previous week to 3,074 head.

FEEDERS DOWN AGAIN For the second week in a row, the feeder cattle market was under significant pressure.

WP LIVESTOCK REPORT Pork stocks pressured hog prices.

HOG PRICES LOWER Hog prices fell on mounting pork supplies, falling pork prices and packer losses. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s February cold storage report showed frozen pork supplies were up seven percent from January and up nine percent from last year. Rising gasoline prices are cutting into meat demand. Iowa-southern Minnesota live hogs fell to about $63 US per hundredweight March 23, down from $65 March 15. U.S. pork carcass cut-out value fell to $79.67 March 23, down from $82.70 March 16. The U.S. federal weekly slaughter estimate was 2.13 million, down from 2.17 million the previous week.

U.S. cutouts for the week ending March 22 traded generally $1 lower

CANOLA | GOAL SETTING

CRAIG’S VIEW

Extending canola’s success depends on breeding effort

G

iven a bit of luck with the weather, Canadian farmers could attain a milestone this year that they weren’t expected to meet until 2015. That was the year the Canola Council of Canada targeted for production of 15 million tonnes of the yellow-flowered oilseed. It was an ambitious plan coming off an equally audacious program to drive production to seven million tonnes by 2007. But here we are, four years before the target date, projecting a seeded area of more than 20 million acres, producing more than 15 million tonnes. That is more than double the crop grown in 2000 and yet there are no worries about flooding the market. The question for Canada’s canola industry is how far can it increase production before creating rotational problems such as disease that could kill the goose that lays the golden egg. Indeed, the talk is that 15 million tonnes is the minimum needed to meet booming domestic and export demand. Domestically, new crushing and processing capacity brought on by Richardson, Louis Dreyfus and Cargill in the last couple of years is feeding huge demand for healthy oil and meal in Canada, the United States and China. Unprocessed seed is also flying out the door to China, Japan, Mexico and the United States. In a year when wheat might be expected to grab attention because of the demise of the CWB marketing monopoly, canola continues to capture the spotlight. That is because Canada stands alone as the world’s largest exporter of the oilseed. China, India and Europe might rival or surpass Canadian production, but they use all of it at home. Exports from Australia, Russia and Ukraine are growing but are still a tiny fraction of Canadian sales. And demand for Canadian product looks set to grow as Bunge starts work on doubling the size of two of its western Canadian crushing plants, Legumex Walker builds a plant in Washington and

an American company starts operating a new facility in Minnesota. But Prairie farmers can’t expand acreage forever. Canola already accounts for close to 30 percent of seeded crop acreage in Saskatchewan and Alberta and more than 35 percent of Manitoba’s acreage, not including tame hay area. As with any crop, increasing canola’s appearance in the crop rotation greatly increases the likelihood of disease and weed problems. It encourages selection for pathogens that can overcome resistant varieties, opening the door for the spread of crop diseases for which farmers have no protection. Ironically, canola’s success could create problems that make it difficult to grow the crop, so the goal should be to produce more bushels without increasing acres. The crop has already seen impressive yield gains, averaging 31.8 bu. an acre in 2007-11, up from 25.33 bu. an acre in 1997-2001. That is a gain of 25.5 percent versus wheat yield gains over the same period of 14.4 percent. Over that time, farmers widely adopted hy b r i d s e e d a n d s e e d c o m p a n i e s improved their varieties. Some assistance has also come from the development of herbicide tolerant traits. Luckily, breeders believe the surface is barely scratched on the potential for yield increases. Dow AgroSciences and Monsanto say doubling yields is possible. That is great news, but we must note that Mother Nature can still punish those whose profits rely on a single crop. Canola’s success will be most sustainable if the breeding community provides farmers with a choice of equally profitable and robust crops to include in their rotations.

NDP CONVENTION | DECISION MAKING

Choosing leader sometimes comes down to who can beat other parties NATIONAL VIEW

BARRY WILSON

T

ORONTO —The decision by 57 percent of voting New Democrats to elect Thomas Mulcair the party’s seventh leader was perhaps the most calculating decision in the storied history of the party. He was elected last weekend because the majority decided that after making it to second place in national politics in the last election,

the time for moral victories and moderating influence is over. It’s time to go for the brass ring. They judged that Mulcair — combative, abrasive, arrogant, well spoken and quick witted — is the best hope for battling Stephen Harper, who exhibits many of the above qualities and has been successful. For the 27 percent of delegates who did not vote Mulcair as their first choice but did in the end, they did so because they think he could be a winner, as ruthless and focused as his main opponent. Would western voters be prepared to support a Quebec politician who has criticized the Alberta oilsands and shown little feel for western issues, northern Ontario MP Charlie Angus was asked when he joined Team Mulcair.

“Like other Canadians, the people of Western Canada are looking for someone who can become prime minister,” replied the party’s former agriculture critic. Someone who can win. Simple. Throughout its 50 year history, the NDP has chosen its seven leaders for their promise of advancement in whatever way was considered important at the time. This simplifies the history. Leader one, T.C. Douglas, was the darling of the party in 1961, a 17 year Saskatchewan premier with a record of winning. He was a fiscal conservative in government with solid social policy credentials, including the promise of medicare. He didn’t come close. Leader two, David Lewis, was a party functionary in 1971 when the

NDP faced a threat from a left wing infiltration by the Waffle faction with communist outriders. He fought them back and reduced Pierre Trudeau to a minority, but after two years, discovered that Trudeau was a better political scrapper. Leader three, Ed Broadbent, was a 39-year-old academic and threetime winner in Oshawa, who in 1975 offered to broaden the party. For the next 14 years he had a good run expanding the party to a then-record 43 seats. Leader four, Audrey McLaughlin, won in 1989 in part because the party believed it was time for a woman and northerner. There was retreat, not gain. Leader five, Alexa McDonough, offered a breakthrough in Atlantic

Canada and delivered. Jack Layton, with his optimism and sunny ways, offered a campaign of hope and although it took four elections, he delivered second place for the first time. Mulcair, pure and simple, offers the hope of going over the top. An Ottawa delegate whose convention decisions I tracked came to Toronto last weekend to support Paul Dewar, then switched to unionist Peggy Nash and when she was eliminated went to British Columbia’s Nathan Cullen. He finally had to choose between party traditionalist Brian Topp and Mulcair, whom he did not like or trust. “I went with Mulcair because he can take on Harper,” he said. There it is.

Canadian dairy sector needs to adapt BY SYLVAIN CHARLEBOIS AND TATIANA ASTRAY

N

ow that we have clarity on the economic future of the CWB, attention is slowly turning toward the issue of supply management, which has arguably served our agr icultural economy well for decades. Supply management controls domestic production and imports for five specific commodities: eggs, milk, chicken, turkey and broiler-hatching eggs. This system regulates domestic production based on consumer demand to guarantee decent returns for farmers, but Canada has had high import tariffs for these commodities. These sectors have been unwavering, economically speaking, and consumers have long benefited from stable retail prices for these products. However, the global agricultural landscape is shifting, and international talks now underway suggest the possibility of externally imposed agricultural reforms. For example, the World Trade Organization’s Doha Round, which focused on addressing agricultural trade distortions, has made Canada look like a lone wolf on supply management issues since negotiations began in 2001. However, by many accounts, Doha is all but dead. The real menace now stems from other potent multilateral agreements: the United States and the Asia-Pacific region regarding the Trans-Pacific Partnership and the

Canadian dairy farmers have the tools to scale production cost effectively. | FILE PHOTO European Union regarding the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement. Our trade-friendly federal government is keen to pursue an aggressive global commerce agenda and is more than willing to put supply management on the table. Many agree that supply management in Canada will ultimately end; indeed, many farmers working under supply management believe this as well. The time is ripe to consider what our agricultural economy would look like in the post-supply management era. Should supply management cease, threats to our domestic market would come primarily from the U.S., particularly to the dairy industry. The U.S. has dairy production capabilities that are 14.5 times larger and exports that are 16.2 times larger

than Canada’s. It currently produces twice the amount of dairy that is needed for its domestic consumers. These production capabilities would allow the U.S. to flood the Canadian market with cheap dairy products, instantly jeopardizing the Canadian dairy industry. In addition, Canada would have competition from emerging markets from more efficient countries such as Australia. While analysts predict that the Canadian dairy market would not be significantly affected in a liberalized scenario, such forecasts are questionable, considering Canada’s inability to be competitive in domestic and international markets. The Canadian dairy industry has strengths that can be leveraged in a liberalized market, such as the availability of abundant land and low-

cost, good-quality feed and genetics, which give farmers the ability to scale their productions with cost-efficiencies. Policy reform is needed at the international and domestic levels to position the Canadian dairy industry in a competitive place in the global market. International policy would need to focus on multilateral agreements and the Canadian-U.S. trade relationship, while domestic policy would need to focus on bilateral ventures, research and development and liberalizing the domestic market in progressive steps. In the end, the potential for Canada’s domestic industry to leverage its strengths and become competitive will only manifest itself if interest groups put the long-term success of the dairy industry ahead of their desire for short-term inflated profit, if consumers become advocates for themselves and if government starts pushing for reform. Reform in agriculture is a long revolution. Australia and South Korea, which previously had supply management systems, took decades to eliminate highly protectionist measures to focus more on international trades. Supply managed industries should consider committing to their own reform agenda before Canada is asked to comply with externally generated standards.

Avoid victim mentality and look on the bright side HURSH ON AG

he “little guy” often feels like he’s under siege. There’s more justification than ever for that feeling, given recent events. Although it’s a publicly traded, multinational business, Viterra is the direct descendent of the prairie cooperative grain movement, involving all three prairie pools and United Grain Growers. With the Glencore takeover, any link to farmer ownership and control will be severed. In practice, farmers may not see much difference when they deal with the new entity. Psychologically, it may feel even more like David doing business with Goliath. This is on top of the biggest grain

marketing change of the generation. Smaller farmers and older farmers were more likely to be supporters of the CWB’s single desk. Right or wrong, many small operators believe they’ll be disadvantaged in an open market. One tangible example is producer cars. Producer car loading facilities will probably do just fine in the new system, but without a single-desk CWB, loading your own producer car with wheat or durum may no longer be as viable. A farmer with 1,000, 2,000 or even 3,000 acres is feeling ever more insignificant as some surrounding operations grow to 5,000, 10,000 or even 20,000 acres. As the saying goes, the big get bigger. They’re the ones most likely to get additional rental acres and they’re the ones most likely to buy land that becomes available. Farmland has been a good investment and that has attracted outside money. To expand, you not only have to outbid your neighbours, but you may have to outbid an investment company or a business owner who lives in the city.

Because it’s also an investment, land has typically been worth much more than its productive value. As prices escalate, it’s even harder for a parcel of land to pay for itself. This works against the smaller operator who’s looking to expand. Farmers’ thoughts inevitably turn to succession as they get into their late 50s and 60s. Is there a son or daughter who wants to farm? If the answer is yes, is the farm large enough to be viable for the next generation? While you can paint a dreary picture for the future of small grain operations, there are many positives to keep in mind. Most importantly, grain farming is more profitable now than at any time since the early 1970s. In many cases, relatively smaller operations can provide a decent family income. And with a smaller farm, it’s more viable to supplement family income with off-farm employment or an off-farm business. Farm equipment is available that can be matched to any farm size and nearly any budget. Sure, big new shiny tractors and combines cost big

bucks, but there’s an abundance of older equipment to choose from. Custom operators can fill in any of the gaps. Large farms don’t necessarily have an advantage when it comes to equipment cost per acre. And small farms don’t usually have to rely as much on outside labour. Yes, large operations are more likely to get a discount on the purchase of farm inputs. But with nimble management, smaller operations can often grab emerging opportunities. Businesses do need to be growth oriented, but growth doesn’t have to be the overarching objective. If you’re a relatively small operator, don’t sell yourself short. Don’t feel inferior or intimidated. Don’t carry a victim mentality. Small to medium sized farmers are often happier, healthier and more financially stable than many of the large farmers in the area. If you have a positive attitude, it’s likely to rub off on your kids. Kevin Hursh is an agricultural journalist, consultant and farmer. He can be reached by e-mail at kevin@hursh.ca.

Time is right to fund RM infrastructure EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

JOANNE PAULSON, EDITOR

T

here was a time when most of the debate in rural Western Canada centred on direct agriculture funding. It’s unclear whether that has quieted down because of better funding, better commodity prices, bigger farms or a combination of these. Increasingly rearing its aging head is rural infrastructure, alongside its cousin, land use policy. In Alberta, party leaders would do well to heed these growing concerns as they enter their campaigns. Land issues and power lines will be big debate topics in the upcoming Alberta election. Governments do seem to be aware of rising needs: Saskatchewan and Alberta both allocated more direct money to municipalities in their 2012 budgets (Manitoba’s is still to come). Revenue sharing with rural municipalities rose $6 million in the Saskatchewan budget to $68.9 million. “The big one for us is the revenue sharing,” Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities president David Marit said after the budget was released. “This money goes to municipalities without any strings attached … and how we spend that money is in the best interests of our ratepayers.” Bob Barss, president of the Alberta Association of Municipal Districts and Counties also says provincial funding is crucial. “Municipalities will never be able to handle the infrastructure deficit based on taxation. You’d end up taxing people right out of your community.… You got to have an infrastructure in place to allow the economy to build and the population to grow.” Alberta’s MDs received $227 million in the budget through the province’s Municipal Sustainability Initiative. The Building Manitoba Fund contained $87.8 million in 2011. Granted, there’s more money for roads, health care, education and myriad other services and infrastructure coming from other government departments. But to put direct municipality infrastructure spending in perspective, Saskatchewan’s entire budget is $11.2 billion, Manitoba’s is slightly less than $14 billion and Alberta’s is slightly more than $41 billion. Direct RM funding therefore ranges from about one half to twothirds of one percent of the pool. Perhaps there’s a little more room to increase those allocations, especially in these often-called boom years.

To the Editor:

Open letters should be avoided; priority will be given to letters written exclusively for the Producer. Editors reserve the right to reject or edit any letter for clarity, brevity, legality and good taste. Cuts will be indicated by ellipsis (…) Publication of a letter does not imply endorsement by the Producer.

I would like to respond to the story, Warning issued on research cuts (WP March 1). Since taking office in 2006, the Harper government has provided record investments in science and research. Our government believes that innovation is vital to keeping agriculture, a pillar of our economy, on the cutting edge. Any claim to suggest otherwise is purely speculation and completely false. While previous governments wasted taxpayers’ hard-earned dollars on

science without consultation, this government is making strategic investments in projects that work to find real solutions and opportunities that farmers actually want. We are collaborating with provincial governments, universities and industry to get the most bang for our research buck from industry-led, results-based initiatives. Just last year, we committed $50 million to the new Agricultural Innovation Program to help get industry-led research into the marketplace where it can generate returns for the farmgate and the economy over all. We will continue to support Canada’s talented science community to

ensure prosperity for agriculture today and in the years to come. Gerry Ritz, Federal agriculture minister, Ottawa, Ont.

However, I question whether intensive agriculture through precision methods is truly the silver bullet (Paul) Fixen claims it to be. If saving the world constitutes the persistent application of chemical fertilizer and pesticide inputs on our land, then what kind of world do we intend to have? In recent years, we have seen higher input costs for producers as well as an increase in human and environmental health problems. This can be attributed in part to our intensified agricultural practices, which include the use of GMOs and increased use of chemical inputs. Intensification also leads to soil degradation, perpetuating our reliance on fertilizers to maintain production of the land. Meeting a growing demand in a sustainable manner should be addressed by ensuring equality in distribution and accessibility of food among the world’s population, while decreasing our use of harmful chemical inputs. If we truly want to save the world, we should be looking to non-conventional practices that encourage effective organic methods, including crop rotation and natural pest control. I do not think we should lose touch with traditional knowledge of agriculture and management of land in exchange for a technological fix. The public is also not looking for reassurance that farmers are being accurate in their application of inputs. They want to know that their food is being produced in such a way that ensures their health and the health of the environment they live in. Stefanie Drozda, Edmonton, Alta.

FARMERS WON’T BENEFIT To the Editor: Triumphant stories about the end of the Canadian Wheat Board at the front end of your March 1, 2012, paper don’t tell the real story for farmers. That gem, tucked away on page 103, is about grain transportation and handling “efficiencies.” The grain companies assure us that their new control over transportation logistics is going to “translate into money.” Viterra was predicting a “$40 to $50 million increase in earnings.” Who believes that these profits will be voluntarily shared with farmers? Those who doubt the grain corporations’ generosity are assured that savings from efficiencies will surely be passed back to farmers “as long as there’s enough competition in the grain handling sector.” That seems so unlikely that a new story has to be invented. It runs like this. The needed competition will come from the U.S. and abroad. In this continental grain market, companies will compete by consolidating (closing) elevators and dedicating some to specific grains. How is hauling grain further going to improve farmer profits? If that doesn’t seem helpful, we’re told that U.S. grain could move through Canadian ports. So we can look forward to more congestion at our ports. Moving Canadian grain via the U.S.


OPINION system might look more inviting — except that rates there are much higher than ours. How would that drive down our freight rates? Without the Canadian Wheat Board in our corner, all this will “translate into money” all right — but certainly not for farmers. Nettie Wiebe, Delisle, Sask.

POSITIVE ATTITUDE To the Editor: I could not agree more with Farm Credit Canada’s initiative to share and encourage a positive attitude towards, and within, the agricultural industry (WP online, March 2, New FCC campaign tells agriculture’s story).

There has been lots of publicity towards the negatives of the industry — big business, dying family farms, etc. — and there has also been some publicity towards education and the positives of agriculture aimed towards society: food safety and meeting demands of an increasing population are only a couple of examples. But there has been very little publicity from within the industry directed towards producers. As an agricultural student, I am often bombarded with the risks and troubles facing today’s producers. This is very overwhelming for somebody looking toward a future in agriculture. The negative attitude within agriculture provides limited incentive for growth of the industry. Fewer and fewer farm kids and even fewer young people who are not from a

THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | MARCH 29, 2012

rural background are pursuing agricultural careers. I feel there needs to be a more positive perspective from within the industry. I could not agree more with FCC senior vice-president Lyndon Carlson’s view that a “confident industry will be a stronger industry.” I applaud FCC and here is to hoping for a more positive industry in the future. Brady Bartlett, Fairview, Alta.

RURAL INVESTMENT To the Editor: In response to the article, Investment in rural Prairies must accompany growth (WP, Feb. 23). I feel that lack of government

investment is not the only reason there is an apparent decline of rural communities. There are many economic, environmental, socio-economic and socio-cultural factors that contribute to the attraction of rural communities. Although government investment would provide an open window to (these) investments, it may not succeed in establishing a stable population. Multiple factors work co-dependently to help individuals make decisions about where they want to live and the lifestyles they wish to live. In rural communities, services such as hospital health care or education are not … the best they can be. I know from experience that much of the population has to commute to find these services that satisfy their expectations. Government investment has to be

spent wisely to improve co-depending factors so they are able to satisfy the community. If investments fail, attraction will fail, and there will be no permanent increase in rural residency. I believe the census report doesn’t succeed in capturing the population sizes of rural communities simply because many of the people living in these rural communities are not permanent residents. They just work in these areas. Although it may appear population sizes are growing, they indeed are not. Government investment, however, is a great place to start to establish attractive services that people can use to decide where to live, on a permanent basis. Shelby Merchant, Edmonton, Alta.

Communities handling crisis SPIRITUAL VIGNETTES

C

rises seldom announce themselves when they occur in a community. Floods, explosions, blizzards, fires and utility outages are among events for which emergency measures organizations prepare themselves. But do these preparations include the local ministerial association? The spiritual care of individuals, communities and responders facing crisis is essential. People are overwhelmed by feelings of fear, loss, anger and disorientation. In the case of a tornado, for example, the instantaneous devastation is unbelievable. For those whom the crisis has missed, there may be guilt — why did it not happen to me? The Centre for Rural Community Learning and Ministry (Circle-M) recently sponsored a webinar on the church’s role in rural community crisis. Church folk can help people understand what’s happening in the postcrisis time, can share with each other what to expect and can talk about sharing suffering with each other. They raise questions about what the kids might be thinking, and encourage each other to listen for the wisdom of the elders. They share glimpses of God’s enduring love. They talk about how much Jesus loved the homeless. After the fire in Slave Lake, Alta., when people were preparing to reenter their community, city council asked that the ministerial association be considered an essential service. Ministerial members still serve this function and will probably continue to do so into the future. Municipal officials there have seen how positive spiritual support can help reduce stress and have found innovative ways to reach out to folks in the city and in the country. access=subscriber section=opinion,none,none

NDP LEADERSHIP CONVENTION | WESTERN SUPPORT

MP confident leader ‘on top of prairie issues’ Quebecer Thomas Mulcair supported CWB monopoly | Leader willing to develop regional policies rather than national plan BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

TORONTO — Montreal MP Thomas Mulcair was elected national New Democratic Party leader March 24, and even before his fourth-ballot victory, the question was being asked on the convention floor. Is Western Canada, the region where the party is weakest and needs to grow if it is to become government, ready to embrace another national leader from Quebec? During the past four decades, with

just a few exceptions, they have not done well. When rural northern Ontario MP and former agriculture critic Charlie Angus switched his support to Mulcair mid-convention March 24, he was asked the question directly by reporters. With his opposition to Alberta oilsands development and little apparent interest in agricultural issues, can Mulcair be sold to voters west of Ontario? “Like other Canadians, the people of Western Canada are looking

for someone who can become prime minister,” Angus said. “That

has always been my ballot question.” Former Saskatchewan MP Lorne Nystrom, Mulcair’s co-campaign chair, insisted that prairie delegates were a strong part of the candidate’s base. “I would say in Saskatchewan he is ahead two to one.” And when former Saskatchewan NDP health minister Louise Simard joined the Mulcair campaign midway through the March 23-24 convention when her preferred candidate, Niki Ashton of Manitoba, was

forced off the ballot, she said the Quebec MP knows how to appeal to western voters. “He is very much on top of the need to look at prairie issues,” she said. Simard said Mulclair’s approach will be to develop a regional rather than a national approach to policy, much as the NDP did last year when it created a separate Quebec-centred policy that appealed to the province’s voters. “One of the reasons I think the NDP will connect with the West is that he is interested in looking at policy regionally, to have it developed regionally and not imposed nationally.” Mulcair, 57, is a lawyer who began his elected political life as a Quebec Liberal. He was provincial environment minister when the party took power but then resigned in a dispute with premier Jean Charest. In the aftermath, he talked to federal Conservatives about a job and then the federal Liberals before finally deciding to contest a Montreal riding for the NDP that was considered a safe Liberal seat. He won it in a 2007 byelection and increased his margin of victory in following two elections. In 2011, Mulcair was given credit for helping build the NDP Quebec base that led to a breakthrough from one seat to 59 in the province and to the position of official opposition in Parliament for the first time. Mulcair was a polarizing force from the start of the leadership campaign after the death of Jack Layton, even as he was seen as the instant front-runner. His reputation for abrasiveness and a short temper led critics to speculate that he would have difficulty keeping the caucus and party united. As Quebec environment minister, Mulcair angered but also stood up to Quebec ’s powerful farm lobby Union des Producteurs Agricoles for enforcing new environmental regulations that imposed rules and costs on farmers. As an urban Quebec MP for more than four years, he has left almost no record on agricultural issues other than voting with the party to oppose the end of the CWB monopoly.

NDP | PRAIRIE SUPPORT

New NDP leader must focus on Prairies, say MPs Broaden support base | NDP members want Thomas Mulcair to tour prairie provinces to listen to concerns of rural Canada BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

TORONTO — If Malcolm Allen has his way, the New Democratic Party will soon invest far more energy and resources into winning back the West and the rural seats it once owned. He will be telling new leader Thomas Mulcair that the party must reestablish its prairie base if it is to ever compete for government. Saskatchewan, which has been NDP-free for almost a decade, is a prime target. The southwestern Ontario MP and

agriculture critic says the parliamentary caucus, with its strong northern Ontario and Quebec rural representation, plans to create a rural and northern caucus group to focus on rural issues. He also wants the new leadership to make it a priority to visit rural prairie areas to let residents know that the party is back. “To form government we need 70 more seats and many of those must come from Western Canada,” Allen said during the March 23-25 NDP leadership convention, hours before the new leader was chosen.

“We need to get a tour organized quickly to get into rural Canada to listen, to let them know we are not going to show up every election for five weeks to say, ‘here we are. Vote for us.’ ” Allen said that with recent success in some rural areas of Eastern Canada, the party is realizing it must and can broaden its appeal to include rural Canada. He said on his frequent forays into Saskatchewan and Manitoba, he talks and hears about issues far broader than agriculture. “There is a real level-of-service gap

between rural and urban that I hear about all the time and in a way I live it,” said Allen. “I live in a rural area between two cities, St. Catharines and Welland, and I cannot get high speed internet. I’m on dial-up and it is slow.” Bill Knight, a former Saskatchewan NDP MP and party official, said the party continues to receive one-third of the vote in Saskatchewan, despite being shut out of seats through four elections. “What is missing in this is not a policy commitment or organization,” It’s a leadership commitment.”

Winnipeg MP Pat Martin made the same point about being close. “With one or two additional percent of the vote, we’d be at a tipping point that could give us eight or nine seats,” he said. “We just have to keep working.” Liberal pollster and strategist David Herle saw another force at work. Saskatchewan has changed since he was growing up there. It has become more prosperous and both Liberal and NDP fortunes have suffered. “I used to think Saskatchewan had more progressive values than Alberta,” he said during the convention. “It turns out we were just poorer.” NDP | WESTERN SUPPORT

TORONTO —Niki Ashton, the only prairie candidate in last weekend’s NDP leadership race, says the party must plot out a strategy to re-win the West. In her March 23 speech to delegates at the convention that chose Thomas Mulcair as the new leader, she proposed a 2013 meeting of western New Democrats in Lethbridge to craft a party platform that responds to regional issues. “I think there is a tremendous opportunity for our party in the West,” the MP from Churchill, Man., said in an interview March 24, hours after she was dropped from the leadership ballot after placing last out of seven contenders with slightly more than 3,700 of 65,000 ballots cast. She said her result was not a reflection on the party view of western issues. Ashton was the only leadership candidate to propose a specific attempt to reconnect with western voters, who once gave New Democrats a majority of Saskatchewan and Manitoba seats and now have largely abandoned the party. The NDP holds just three of 56 seats in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta and has not elected an MP in Saskatchewan since 2000. In 2011, the Prairies were immune to the “orange surge” that swept Quebec and made the NDP Parliament’s second party. “I think there is a real opening because the West has given Stephen Harper support for years and he is taking it for granted,” Ashton said. “Reform once stood for grassroots control and now it is control from the centre. We can offer the ‘democratic’ in NDP.” Ashton said an NDP meeting in Sherbrooke, Que., that produced the Sherbrooke Declaration on Quebec policy before the last election, helped the party win a majority of Quebec seats. It was pivotal in identifying the NDP with provincial political aspirations. “The issues will be different, but we could do a Lethbridge Declaration that would set out our goals for Western Canada,” she said.

FOOD SECURITY | OUTLOOK

Feeding hungry will require more ‘crop per drop’ Potential moves north | Climate change may increase growing potential in northern countries BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Prairie farmers are well positioned to meet the growing worldwide demand for food over the next few decades, says an American agricultural policy official. Robert Thompson, who serves on the International Food and Agricultural Trade Policy Council, has a lengthy resume, including a stint as the director of rural development at the World Bank. He provided a glimpse into the future of agriculture as he sees it to attendees at the Farm Leadership Council’s conference held March 14 in Saskatoon. “My expectation is that the Canadian Prairies have every potential to become an even greater bread basket for the world,” he said. The challenges he outlined for industry, producers and policymakers are numerous, including rapidly growing low-income populations in Asia and sub-saharan Africa, challenges from global warming and few areas on the globe where production can expand. He cited numbers showing that by 2050 the world’s population will be nearing 9.6 billion, with India surpassing China in population. “The magnitude of the opportunity, as well as the challenge, is for the world’s farmers to feed the equivalent of two more Chinas by the middle of the century,” he said. As these populations grow, their food consumption will exceed production and create larger export

markets. Constraints on arable land, he explained, mean that the only sustainable way to meet that demand is to double productivity in areas where crops are already in production, making new public-private investments in plant and animal breeding and water efficiency a priority. Producers worldwide will have to double the “crop per drop,” he said, but Canadian producers may actually see more rainfall, the result of climate change. Temperatures have risen more over land than water and at the north and south poles, he said. “In other words, that margin of production imposed by the cold restraint is expected to migrate significantly north ...” he said, which may benefit production in Canada and Russia. “The northern countries of the world, their agriculture sectors have the potential to be significantly benefitted by climate change,” he said, noting that alongside that potential comes increased likelihood of drought and flood and loss of cropland in other parts of the world. Doomsday scenarios, he told the audience, are premature and with renewed investment and interest research, producers should be able to capitalize on “the golden age of biological technology.” “My conclusion is that there is every reason to believe that rural agriculture can produce just as much food a s n o w a n d m e e t t h e g ro w i n g demand of the world, but it is going to take investments in adaptive agriculture research ....”

Productivity on arable land will need to increase to meet the growing population. |

CANOLA | CHECK-OFF DEDUCTION

Canola research tax credit at 20 percent for 2012 BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Producers can apply for taxable benefits on canola check-off deductions that are used to suppor t research and development. For 2012, individual producers can claim investment tax credits at 20 percent and corporate producers can claim 35 percent. Only part of the Manitoba Canola Growers Association’s research and development qualifies for the tax credits because research must be done at an approved research facility to qualify. Approved facilities include universities and government agricultural research facilities. As an example of what can be claimed, let’s say a producer contributes $200 to the canola check-off program in 2011, which means that $31.86 of the check-off money was invested into eligible research and development ($200 at 15.93 percent). • individual producers would be entitled to claim $6.37 as their investment tax credit amount access=subscriber section=news,none,none

($31.86 at 20 percent) • corporate producers would be entitled to claim $11.15 as their investment tax credit amount ($31.86 at 35 percent) The investment tax credits earned may be used as follows: • offset federal taxes owing in the current year • if no taxes are owing, a portion may be refunded if you are an individual and all of the credit may be refunded if you are a corporation • carried forward up to 10 years to offset federal taxes • carried back up to three years to reduce federal tax paid in those years Eligible amount of the Manitoba Canola Growers Association’s research that qualifies for a tax credit has fluctuated over the last decade: Year 2012: 2011: 2010: 2009: 2008: 2007:

Swamp fever on the rise Sask. numbers high | 102 horses tested positive in 2011 BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Swamp fever infections are more common among horses in Saskatchewan than in other provinces. | FILE PHOTO

Swamp fever continues to turn up in Canadian horse herds, particularly in Saskatchewan. Dr. Betty Althouse, a Canadian Food Inspection Agency veterinary disease control specialist, told the recent Saskatchewan Horse Federation conference that nearly 60 new cases were found in the first three months of this year. In 2011, 102 horses on 15 premises tested positive in Saskatchewan,

compared to 62 in British Columbia on two farms, 10 in Quebec on three farms and four in Alberta on four farms. Althouse said eight cases were found on two new premises in January, followed by 48 on 13 premises in February and two cases on two farms in early March. All types of horses have been affected, including show, bucking, draft and pleasure horses. North of Saskatoon is the hot spot for swamp fever, but Althouse cautioned that doesn’t mean there are

no cases in the south. It could be a matter of looking for it. Swamp fever, or equine infectious anemia, can present in three ways: acute, chronic or inapparent. “You can’t tell by looking at them,� Althouse said. Horse flies, stable flies and deer flies spread the virus by biting an infected horse and then an uninfected horse. The threat of spread can depend on the level of infection. If a fly bites a horse that is acutely infected, just one millilitre of blood has enough virus to infect a million horses, Althouse said. So, when that fly bites another horse, it is extremely likely to transfer the disease. If that fly bit a chronically infected horse, which displays symptoms on and off for years, and the blood is taken during a feverish episode, it could infect 10,000 horses. Althouse said just one horse fly out of six million is likely to pick up and transmit the virus from a horse that is an inapparent carrier. She cautioned that even using the same needle on different horses could transmit the virus. Breeding infected stallions to mares can cause the disease, and mares can pass the virus to their foals. Testing is critical. Dr. Byrnne Rothwell, a long-time veterinarian with a special interest in horses, said March, April and May are the best times to test, followed by another period after the first killing frost when insects disappear. Insect season was fairly long last year because of the warm weather, and horses that tested negative at the end of October were positive six weeks later. He said swamp fever is a federally reportable disease, but the current control program is voluntary. “The program needs modernization,� Althouse said. Some horse events are already implementing mandatory testing to get control of the disease. About 3,500 horses were tested in Saskatchewan last year. Typically, that number is 2,500. As many as 9,000 Saskatchewan horses were tested when testing was mandatory under the federal control program. Rothwell said 1.8 million head were tested and 14,000 reactors confirmed in Canada between 1972 and 1993. The rate of infection at that time dropped from 2.9 percent to .39 percent. Between 1994 and 1998, when there was less CFIA involvement, the infection rate climbed to .66 percent. “In 1999, the pony chuck wagon (industry) realized the problem and requested and were granted a testing program from CFIA,� he said. Eight thousand horses were tested and a lot of the positives were removed from herds. No positive cases were reported in Canada between 2004 and 2009 until “Typhoid Mary� appeared in the Edmonton-Calgary corridor. The mare was an inapparent carrier, and horses that tested negative in spring were positive by fall. “Regular testing is the only way out,� Rothwell said. “Only if you test can you say you are not part of the problem.�

AUSTRALIA | GRAIN STORAGE

Australian farmers fear grain system consolidation Deregulation ended the country’s export monopoly only to be replaced with regional monopolies STORIES BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

MURRAY BRIDGE, Aus. — Large agribusinesses are aggressively looking for ways to expand their footprint in the South Australian grain industry, said grain producer and businessperson Leighton Huxtable of Karoonda, South Australia. He said corporate investors are seeking ways to secure a larger stake in the state’s grain industry. “I think all grain companies are looking to have a slice of the action and they’ve got quite significant dollars to invest as well.” Huxtable is leading a small group of South Australian farmers that has proposed building a new bulk grain handling facility near the community of Tailem Bend, S.A. The idea was initially promoted as a co-operative venture with 100 percent grower ownership, but Huxtable said capital requirements needed to build the facility were prohibitive. A core group of growers has since decided to find a corporate partner that could provide start-up capital. The group estimates that $1.2 million would be needed. Huxtable said interest among potential corporate partners has been brisk, including farmer cooperatives already operating in Australia. “There’s plenty of interest among the corporates, absolutely,” he said. “And there’s plenty of interest among the corporates to do something at the ports as well.” Stewart Gall, a grain producer from north-central New South Wales, said lack of competition in Australia’s bulk grain handling industry is a prevalent concern. It was widely assumed by proponents of deregulation that an open market would lead to more grain companies and greater competition for farmers’ grain. There are more grain companies. But in many cases, that hasn’t translated into more competition. “I think in general we’ve got enough storage and handling capacity in the country,” said Gall. “It’s just that in a lot of areas, it’s all

Farmers can sell their grain immediately or retain ownership and pay bulk storage and handling fees until they are prepared to sell. | BRIAN CROSS PHOTOS owned by the same company.” Peter Mailler, a farmer from Goondiwindi, N.S.W., shares a similar view. He said deregulation eliminated Australia’s national expor t monopoly and replaced it with a handful of regional monopolies. Today, Australia’s grain handling landscape is dominated by four or five large bulk handing companies

that control the vast majority of country and port capacity. Mailler, who also serves as chair of Grain Producers Australia, said lack of competition in the country and at port is a touchy issue among Australian growers. Later this year, the Australian government is expected to wind down the operations of another government-run regulatory agency,

Wheat Exports Australia. That agency reviews the credentials of grain export companies and issues export certificates. It also monitors Australia’s export activities and reports those activities to the industry on a regular basis. To Mailler, the decision by government to strip away another level of regulation is problematic, especially

while the industry is still adjusting to the new environment. “Clearly, there’s an ongoing evolution in the wheat marketing system and we haven’t reached an end point yet,” said Mailler. “To take another level of regulatory capacity away before you reach that end point is a bit let getting out of the car before you stop.”

AUSTRALIA | INDUSTRY CONTROL

Grain handlers conceal vital market information ADELAIDE, Aus. — Canadian and Australian farmers might live on opposite ends of the world, but they share similar concerns about port access and ownership of country grain handling facilities. In Australia, bulk handling companies own bulk storage facilities throughout the country. Years ago, most of the country’s bulk storage sites were publicly owned and controlled by regional authorities, sometimes known as elevator boards. More recently, however, facility ownership has been transferred to private corporations, publicly traded companies and grower co-operatives such as Viterra, CBH and GrainCorp. Control of country facilities has emerged as a topic of considerable interest in Australia’s deregulated grain market. Critics say that control of such large inventories of grain gives bulk handling companies access to important market information that should be made public to growers and traders. In many cases, Australian farmers truck their grain directly from the combine to the nearest bulk storage site.

Peter Mailler says a deregulated system that would give farmers more information on grain stocks would help them with marketing. Upon delivery, producers can sell their grain immediately to bulk handling companies or they can retain ownership of their grain and pay bulk handling and storage fees until they decide to sell. In most cases, farmers who retain ownership of their grain are charged an up-front handling fee, often around $10 a tonne. After that, monthly storage charges may also apply, often $2 to $2.50 per tonne.

Victoria farmer Andrew Weidemann said on-farm grain storage used to be an unknown concept in many parts of Australia. More recently, however, it has been increasing as farmers seek to retain more control over their production and avoid recurring storage fees. “We find it (on-farm storage) gives us more control over marketing and more flexibility at harvest time,” Weidemann said. Peter Mailler, chair of Grain Producers Australia, said bulk storage facilities owned by large companies still make up the vast majority of country capacity. For that reason, disclosure of information pertaining to grain stocks and grain quality is essential to ensuring that Australia’s farmers make informed marketing choices. “The first step to getting a deregulated system that works better for growers is actually getting more transparency built into the system,” said Mailler. “We need transparency of our wheat stocks and receivals so we can get clear signals back to farmers and enable them to make informed marketing decisions.” Compounding farmer anxiety are

questions about blending practices and grade related discounts. Mailler said grade discounts make up a significant monetary penalty for farmers whose grain fails to meet pre-established quality standards. “There are some incremental payment scales, but typically in Australia, we’ve got what we call cliff-face marketing, so when you go from a wheat with 13 percent protein to a wheat with 12.9 percent protein, for example, you might lose $100 a tonne,” he said. “Right now, I don’t think there is an adequate pricing matrix in the Australian marketplace and primarily, I think that’s because there is a lack of transparency … as to what’s going on in the supply chain system.” Leighton Huxtable, a grain grower from Karoonda, South Australia, agreed that more transparency and accountability at bulk handling sites would benefit growers. “We know that (bulk handlers) do a lot of blending,” Huxtable said. “As growers, we get paid a lower grade for our grain, which is then blended and turned out at a higher value. We as growers certainly don’t pick up the financial benefits of that.”

AUSTRALIA | GLOBAL WHEAT OUTLOOK

Europe’s economic turmoil may spark bearish market: analyst BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

MELBOURNE, Aus. — Heavily supplied global wheat markets aren’t likely to bring smiles to the faces of world grain producers in 2012, says an agribusiness expert with National Australia Bank. However, investment in agricultural commodities by money managers and hedge fund operators could result in significant short-term market volatility, particularly if key production areas are affected by bad weather. Michael Creed, an agriculture analyst with NAB, told grain industry executives in Melbourne earlier this month that market fundamentals suggest a bearish outlook for wheat in 2012. However, short-term rallies are possible.

“The fundamentals of the global wheat market are very comfortable, make no mistake about it,” Creed said. “We expect to enter the 2012-13 marketing year with a stocks-to-use ratio of around 31 percent. That makes for a very comfortable market, and it looks like stocks are likely to be added to again this year.” However, the effect of managed funds on grain prices shouldn’t be overlooked, he added. Creed said fund managers are investing aggressively and have been putting money back into commodities markets. Short positions in Chicago Board of Trade wheat equate to nearly 13 million tonnes of production, a situation that could support prices in the event of a significant weather-related production failure. “If we have some sort of hiccup in

the weather or if we have some sort of event that requires those funds to suddenly reverse their positions and pull out of commodities, that will provide for a very bullish short-term outlook for prices,” he said. “The simple fact is that it’s very hard to … buy 13 million tonnes of grain in a day or two, so even though the fundamentals are very bearish … the market structure is actually quite bullish and this could make for a very interesting situation.” In the United States, corn stocks have been tight and support payments to farmers are expected to rise. If that happens, corn acreage will increase and prices are likely to soften. Wheat would inevitably follow. “There’s definitely a significant incentive out there … for (U.S.) farmers to plant more acres of corn, so the support you’re likely to see (for wheat) is likely to pull back a bit.” access=subscriber section=news,none,none

Creed said burdensome wheat supplies, large Black Sea exports and uncertainty over the European financial situation will also affect markets. Black Sea production and exports are expected to reach record levels in 2012-13, barring a weather disaster, according to the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Science (ABARES). In an effort to move excess wheat to world markets, the Khazakhstan government offered transportation subsidies of nearly $40 US per tonne to Kazakh exporters who moved grain through Baltic and Black Sea ports, ABARES said. Europe is another wild card. “The big elephant in the room, as far as the economic outlook for the next couple of years, is Europe.” He said the sovereign debt crisis that has so far been focused on Greece could easily spread to other countries, especially those that have low productivity, high unemployment and significant exposure in European bond markets. Spain and Italy are trouble spots that NAB economists are watching closely. Europe has established the European Financial Stability Fund to support ailing economies and protect against government default. The value of the fund is estimated at

$980 billion, but that pales in comparison to the value of government bonds held by national treasuries. “ The sovereign debt crisis in Europe has spilled over into the euro core,” said Creed. “Greece in itself is not really that much of an issue … but the markets are still a bit suspect … and if the contagion spreads to Spain and Italy, that would be big. They hold about 1.9 trillion euros ($2.6 trillion) in bonds so you can see that 750 billion euros ($980 billion) is not going to go that far. “We don’t expect this to spiral out of control just yet, but we are closely watching the Spanish position because in our view, that’s where the risk is over the next couple of years.” Financial uncertainty in Europe is a critical consideration for commodity markets because fund managers are more likely to take positions when financial markets are less volatile. Despite his gloomy assessment, Creed said the long-term outlook for agricultural markets remains strong. Global demand for food is increasing and will continue to be driven by increasing personal wealth in emerging economies such as India, China and Indonesia. U.S. economic figures are another source of optimism, with recent improvements in gross domestic product, job creation, housing markets and corporate profits, he said.

Students, watershed reap rewards from project Caring for our watersheds | Prize money benefits school and environment BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

PONOKA, Alta. — The Battle River runs past their school, but it wasn’t until students at St. Augustine school entered a competition to save their watersheds that they understood its importance to the area. Daniella Perillat, a teacher at the school, believed the students lacked a good understanding of the importance of watersheds so she came up with a competition for her Grade 8 and 11 science classes. “When I first started they thought (a watershed) had to be something directly related to water,� said Perillat. The Caring for our Watersheds program encourages creativity and rewards students for the solutions. The central Alberta program began in 2007 focussing on the Battle River watershed. In 2010, similar programs were launched in southern Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Perillat believed a combination of classroom work and a financial incentive offered under the competition would help motivate students. In the past three years, students have embraced the idea of saving watersheds and the environment and have won $13,000 for themselves and another $13,000 for the school through the competition. Perillat said the money won for the school been used for IPads, field trips and buzzers for a Reach for the Top school program. Perillat was the catalyst, but the students came up with their own

Ponoka’s St. Augustine School students have won a Caring for our Watersheds competition in the three years they have entered.

They learn how it’s done and it’s a skill they’ll use at university and college,� said Perillat. Rachel Selke, now a Grade 12 student, and two other partners developed a children’s activity book, Discover your Watershed. The project won and the group received extra money to publish the book. Selke and her partners researched information for the book, chose art-

work and designed a colouring page within the book used for a contest. Selke then took the book into the elementary school classrooms to discuss the importance of watersheds. “When I started, I didn’t know what a watershed was so I thought (the elementary school students) wouldn’t know either,� said Selke. Through the contest, students are invited to answer the question: What can you do to improve your watershed? Natalie Stanley, education co-ordinator with the Battle River Watershed Alliance, said she encourages stu-

dents to think of things that affect their lives and develop solutions. “It could be anything in that watershed and come up with ideas to help improve it,� she said. Another group of St. Augustine students, Kaitlin Lomas, Melissa Gartner and sisters Vickie and Katie Wyering, won first place for their book The Mystery of the Missing Water. In the book, Otis, a duck, and his friends search for why the pond is drying up. Otis finds people in the nearby village are using lots of water. Together, they vow to use less water so people and animals can live together.

“The book was a fun way to learn about watersheds and present it in a way everyone could understand,� said Katie Wyering. Since writing the book, the girls have said they’ve tried to take shorter showers, recycle more and are more aware of the impact they have on the environment. “I am quite proud of those kids,� said Perillat. Rhyliegh Patterson and Courtney Bolze used their winnings to plant trees along the Battle River. “We wanted to think of something we could do to help our river,� said Patterson.

BISON PRODUCERS OF ALBERTA | CHECKOFF

Bison commission to disband Refundable checkoff | Revenue fell short of the $60,000 operating budget

PONOKA, Alta. — Alberta bison producers, frustrated by problems in collecting a refundable $3 per head checkoff, voted to disband their commission and reform under an association with no ability to collect the fee. Marvin Moore, chair of the Bison Producers of Alberta, said the group could not convince many people to help fund the commission. “We tried very hard to collect more and to make sure everybody paid, but when it’s refundable people say they will send the money in but they’re going to ask for it back,” he said, during the group’s annual meeting and bison show and sale. Last year, the group collected about $11,000 out of a possible $80,000 in potential check-off fees. Other commissions collect the fee at auction markets and grain elevators, but few bison go through public facilities so the commission relies on the good will of producers to voluntarily send in their $3 per head each time an animal is sold. Last year, the commission received $10,047 from one federal packing plant, but a letter accompanied the cheques asking for a full refund. Slightly more than $800 was collected from provincial packing plants. Auction markets submitted almost $6,500 in fees and producers voluntarily submitted just over $4,000. Of the $21,471 collected, $10,317 was refunded, to leave $11,094 to help fund the organization’s yearly $60,000 operating budget. Bison producer Frank McAllister said he was in favour of disbanding

$11,094 WAS COLLECTED IN CHECKOFF FEES the commission. “I am in favour of it mainly because this isn’t working. If it’s not working you better do something different.” Members also voted to approve a

membership increase from $75 to $125. Last year, about $35,000 was raised during the Wildrose Bison show and sale held in conjunction with the annual meeting. With half the number of bison in this year’s sale, revenue from the sale was also reduced. Mike Pearson of the Alberta Marketing Council, the provincial organization overseeing commissions, said he doesn’t anticipate the organizational changes will result in changes in the relationship with the provincial government.

Funds to boost internet service BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

The Alberta government is promising $10.5 million to provide highspeed internet access to an estimated 43,000 rural households. The money is part of the provincial government’s Final Mile Rural Connectivity Initiative to ensure all Albertans have access to high speed internet. About $9.5 million will be used to help internet service providers add infrastructure to the remainder of unserviced areas in rural areas, including the province’s extreme north and south. An additional $900,000 will be available for remote satellite solutions in low-density areas. “Access to high-speed internet is essential for all Albertans,” said agriculture minister Evan Berger. “This initiative will help bring service to unserviced areas: keeping people connected and helping to ensure continued economic competitiveness and vitality of our rural communities.” access=subscriber section=news,none,none

Advocate eager to talk to farmers, ranchers Office created to protect rights of rural Albertans BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

Alberta’s new farmers’ advocate wants to listen, learn and then take on the challenges of speaking on behalf of Alberta’s farmers and ranchers. Vegreville lawyer Peter Dobbie takes over the role April 2 from Jim Kiss, who left the job last June. It’s the first time a lawyer has held the top job in the advocate’s office. Dobbie hopes to use his legal training to wade through complex issues that land in the farmers’ advocate office. “I want to bring the advocate back into the farmers’ advocate office,” said Dobbie, who plans to spend much of his time talking to farmers and supporting them. “My priority will be to make sure I am out meeting with all the stakeholders,” said Dobbie, who will make his first appearance at the Alberta Association of Municipal Districts and Counties meeting March 20. The farmers’ advocate’s office was created in 1973 by Alberta premier Peter Lougheed at the height of the oil and gas boom. Helping farmers deal with surface rights issues was important for farmers and ranchers then and it continues to be one of the biggest issues for advocate staff. The office’s job is to protect the rights of rural Albertans. It also administers the Farm Implement Act, which provides consumer protection through warranty, parts availability and licensing provisions for farm equipment. Dobbie said by talking to farmers, ranchers and high level officials, he hopes to help shape policies that benefit farmers. Dobbie said he has been working for farmers and the farm industry since 1981 in various roles. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

WORLD TRADE | SUPPLY MANAGEMENT

30 VERY EARLY BUYER

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Trade minister Ed Fast insists the Conservative government is “defending Canada’s system of supply management” in trade negotiations, but Liberal trade critic Wayne Easter thinks it is not the entire story. Fast recently vowed to protect existing high supply management tariff levels. However, Easter said that under supply management rules, increased access is also possible by increasing the amount of foreign product allowed into the Canadian market through tariff rate quotas (TRQ). “Are you w illing to negotiate on access?” Easter said during an appearance before the House of Commons agriculture committee. Fast would not answer directly, reverting to his pledge to defend the system. Easter said he drew his own conclusions. “That leaves me with the impression that they will open up access both in (European) and (Pan-Pacific Partnership) negotiations,” he said in an interview. “You can defend the system by defending tariff levels while allowing more predictable imports in that the industry can plan for.”

Easter said it is the opposition’s role to defend the industr y and the Nov. 22, 2005, unanimous House of Commons motion that no compromise be made. “I’m not in support of opening up access.” However, he said trade talks, globalization and strong pressure for some liberalization of supply management import restrictions means the dairy, poultry and egg industries need to take the possibility of some movement seriously. The 2005 vow of no compromise ever will be difficult to maintain, he added. “It is up to the government to make decisions and the industry itself to decide what is the best way forward,” said Easter. “The industry needs predictability and that comes from tariffs. I hope the industry is saying behind closed doors if they have a different bottom line to no change at all, and if not, how that will work.” Yves Leduc, international trade director with Dair y Farmers of Canada, said the private message is the same as the public message. “Our position is that there should be no over-quota tariff reduction and no TRQ increase,” he said in a March 19 interview from New York City meetings. “As far as I’m concerned, I haven’t

heard anything concerning the possibility of Canada giving into something like that.” However, former Canadian World Trade Organization ambassador John Weekes said he doubts the European Union would agree to a free trade deal with Canada that does not include more dairy access. “I have assumed that sort of conclusion, a TRQ increase, is likely,” he said. Weekes was in Geneva as Canada’s ambassador in 1993 when the last deal was reached, and he said the assumption was that guaranteed access through TRQs would be the way to gradually liberalize trade under prohibitive tariffs. “The idea was that the quota would be opened up gradually so that trade levels would not be totally frozen,” he said. “It means you can negotiate some increase in access while still defending the industry and the stability of the system.” At the George Morris Centre in Guelph, researcher Al Mussell said even if guaranteed import access was increased, it would likely be a small jump and the Canadian industry could still compete against imports for that market share. “It is not a guarantee of the market share, just the ability of foreign suppliers to compete for it,” he said. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

FOOD SAFETY | IMPORT INSPECTIONS

CFIA official waffles over food import inspection claims BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Opposition MPs trying to get government clarity on whether imported food is subject to the same inspection standards as food produced domestically did not get too far. Their questions at the House of Commons agriculture committee came after Canadian Food Inspection Agency associate vice-president Paul Mayers told the committee in February that imports are treated the same as food produced domestically for the Canadian market or export. “Let me assure the committee that there is only one set of rules,” he told MPs.

Two days later, the president of the union representing CFIA inspectors said Mayers had “misinformed” the committee. Public Service Alliance of Canada agriculture union president Bob Kingston said on average just two percent of imports are inspected while 100 percent of exports are inspected. “This presents to Canada a ticking biological time bomb that is being ignored.” Recently, when he appeared again at the agriculture committee on Parliament Hill, Mayers was asked if Kingston’s two percent figure was accurate. New Democrat agriculture critic Malcolm Allen asked whether CFIA

inspectors were present at the border for all imports, or the Canadian Border Services Agency, whose officers have no food inspection training, did the work. Mayers said his words had been misunderstood. He had not said all imports are inspected but that the “system” that includes CBSA inspectors is there for all imports. If CBSA officials have a food concern, they refer it to CFIA. And while all Canadian exports are certified as safe by CFIA, all meat coming into Canada is certified safe in the exporting country. When Allen pressed him on whether the two percent figure is accurate, he ran out of time.

“What I’m trying to explain is that it’s dependent on risk and commodity,” said the CFIA official before being cut off and asked to provide statistics in writing. “We’ll overview the import,” Mayers replied. Two days later, he was back at committee and insisted that the claim of a two percent inspection rate is “simply not correct.” But he did not specify how much of imported food is inspected. Import inspection is based on risk so 100 percent of meat imports are subject to “oversight,” said Mayers, and all imports are approved by the food safety system in the country of origin.

Meanwhile, agriculture minister Gerry Ritz told the committee March 12 that the government is spending money to improve border inspection of imported food. “This fiscal year, to date we’ve had 99 border blitzes and 480 enhanced inspections at the border,” he said. “That means going beyond just the check that we do. We also use a system now where there’s a lot more inspection done at the point of origin.” Mayers told MPs that in the fiscal year ending March 31, there were 10 Canadian audits of the food safety system in countries that export to Canada including China, Russia, Peru and the European Union. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

RED DEER — Cow comfort and animal welfare are Dan Weary’s specialties. And so far, he says, the public does not seem worried about the quality of life for dairy cows. “In general, the public has a pretty positive attitude about the dairy farm for lots of good reasons,” he said in an interview at the recent Western Dairy Seminar in Red Deer. “We have benefitted as a dairy industry for having a pretty good level of public support.” Still, there are certain practices that people are opposed to because they are painful and perhaps unnecessary. One of those is tail docking, which occurred on 40 percent of the dairies that participated in a national animal health survey in the United States in 2008. It is less common in Canada. “In Canada for the last year and a half, we shouldn’t be doing that because the dairy code of practice prohibits the practice,” Weary said. “The code is ultimately voluntary and whether a person follows the code is ultimately up to them.” An informal online survey conducted by the University of British Columbia found widespread opposition to tail docking among veterinarians, producers and the public. The standard recommendation when shortening the tail is to measure one hand below the vulva. It is usually done to young heifers. There are many ways to shorten the tail, including surgically docking and shortening using a rubber ring that slowly tightens. Tails are shortened to improve hygiene, but Weary said there is no evidence that it helps keep manure and urine off the udder or the face of the worker. “There has been a decade worth of studies on this issue and it turns out tail docking has absolutely no benefit,” he said. “It is an ineffective Band-Aid.” The U.S. Department of Agriculture found farms that did it had other hygiene problems and were probably doing so to solve a problem with deeper roots. Cows use their tails for switching flies and will exhibit other restless behaviours to remove pests, such as twitching. The pain associated with tail docking is probably less than other procedures. “The big one for dairy cattle is dehorning,” Weary said. Dehorning is painful and there is good research on how to do it less invasively, he added. UBC offers regular online forums dealing with ethical and scientific issues, including animal welfare.

OKOTOKS, Alta. — Whether a horse had a sore tendon, a cough or fertility issues, Arno Leblic always seemed to have a herbal formula to put things right. And it wasn’t a mystery potion with a placebo effect, said Quarter Horse reiner Andrea Anderson. Leblic, a licensed practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine, treated Anderson’s horses for several years, his herbs assisting with breeding problems, infections and fevers. “Some times he would work along with the vets. They were always open and interested in what he did. They worked well together,” said Anderson, who lives east of Strathmore, Alta. She said Leblic didn’t have to convince clients that the herbal formulas worked. “The herbs and the results did the convincing.” Anderson’s story is echoed by horse enthusiasts in all disciplines, from breeders to dressage riders to show jumpers. When Leblic died of a heart attack at age 55 last October, he left horse owners mourning the loss of his

Customers throughout North America and overseas sought advice and formulas from Leblic’s company, Horse Sense Herbs (HSH) of Okotoks, Alta. The herbs, plants and vegetables — all known for their regenerative properties — are high-quality and human-grade. Imported from China, they are blended in a government-

approved lab in Vancouver. The herbs are used to treat lameness, muscle soreness, colic, stamina, infertility, allergies and parasites. “They have been used on animals and people for almost 5,000 years,” said Parsonage. “That’s a lot longer than conventional western medicine.” Parsonage became HSH’s equine consultant in March, making the transformation from Leblic’s student to herbal practitioner. “I am very honoured,” Parsonage said. “I’m looking forward to carrying on the work that Arno was so passionate about.” Leblic’s approach was to treat a horse’s body, mind and spirit. Parsonage said traditional Chinese medicine considers the heart, lungs, spleen, liver and kidneys to be connected, which means the body must be treated as a whole for optimum healing. “His knowledge was endless. He was a great healer. He had strong intuition, and he was able to teach his clients what true healing is,” she said. “If you began as a non-believer, you certainly believed after a session with him.” Anderson said Leblic was blessed with a joyful sense of humour, love of

Customers initially approached HSH as a last resort, Birgitte said, but their trust in the remedies grew as they began to see results. A number of Grand Prix jumpers, such as Karen Cudmore, routinely use the herbs. “The Chinese herbal formulas gave the extra focus and energy that the horses needed to be performing at this level,” said Cudmore, originally from British Columbia and now living in Nebraska. “All my competing horses are on HSH formulas.” Sharon Cooke of Blackie, Alta., used the herbs to successfully treat fertility issues in her miniature donkeys and breeding Angus bulls. “I feel so fortunate to have known Arno,” she said. “He was a very empathetic person.

GM CROPS | OPPOSITION

GM has role in meeting food needs: researcher Long-term research | Focus needed on sustainable production systems BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

The chair of a global network of agricultural research centres says work is ongoing to develop genetically modified wheat varieties that could contribute to global food security. Carlos Perez del Castillo of the consortium board of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) also predicted that the politically heated debate about GM crops will soon be set aside

as world demand for food grows. “I think so, it will come if we engage and debate on a very solid scientific basis,” he said March 13 during a visit to Ottawa. “I think in the next five years or so, we will have that debate. We need to.” The Uruguayan cattle farmer, former government foreign minister, World Trade Organization ambassador and global food security expert said a portion of the $740 million budget available to the 15 CGIAR research centres goes to GM wheat research. “It is a small portion of the research

being undertaken by CGIAR, and at the moment I don’t think it reaches five percent,” he said. Perez Del Castillo said the research isn’t being done to impose GM technology on farmers or consumers who do not want it, even if new, stronger varieties could be part of the solution to feeding a projected nine billion people by 2050. “The question is, can you cut costs, can you cut time and finally be able to open the door to another alternative, which is not at the moment in the hands of farmers,” he said. access=subscriber section=news,crops,none

because we have to be open to all possibilities, but we will not impose it on anyone,” he said. “It is up to governments to make their choices.” He was in Ottawa to speak to a forum organized by the International Development Research Institute, a federal crown corporation that along with the Canadian International Development Agency contributes to CGIAR. His main message in Ottawa was that agricultural research through the centres has made a significant difference in dealing with world hunger, including involvement in the green revolution that turned many Asian countries in the 1970s from famineprone to major rice producers. He urged Canada to maintain its commitment to agricultural research around the world. In the interview, he noted the current tendency by governments and private interests to invest in shortterm, results-driven research projects that often concentrate on variety improvements. However, he said that approach needs to be supplemented by longerterm research commitments that help create sustainable production and communities. “We see those who want quick results, and they usually put their money in crop improvement because that’s where you get the fastest result that you can measure,” he said. “But the sense is growing that the commodity approach is not necessarily the one that will get you results in the long term, so now we are looking at more complex issues like production systems which bring crops and livestock and trees and communities together at the same time, and that takes longer.” Canada is investing in research on longer-term projects such as climate change and food security, nutrition and health. Perez del Castillo also said that while there likely is no way to turn back the move to government support of grain-based biofuel production, it must be recognized that it contributes to higher grain prices that hurt the world’s poorest people. “I think we might have to look at some kind of code of conduct with some flexibilities,” he said. “At least for the poorest of the poor, I think there should be some exceptions so they will not be affected by increases in prices.” He also said part of the answer to food security is research on how to reduce the food wastage and spoilage that happens in many countries. “If we are looking at how to meet supplies needed for 2050, this is an issue that should seriously be researched because there is so much waste at the moment at production as well as consumption levels, and that adds to hunger.”

BEEF | MARKETING

Manitoba association touts grass fed beef products Educating consumers | Retailer explains the different philosophies in beef production to help consumers with purchasing decisions BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

WINNIPEG — A middle-aged woman paused for a moment in a downtown Winnipeg health food store as she looked at a sample tray of grass fed beef in the store’s meat department. She tried the grass fed sausage on the platter and seemed to like it, but her puzzled expression and tilted head suggested that she had no idea what was meant by grass fed beef. That sort of reaction isn’t surprising, said Mathew Holtmann, owner of Vita Health, a chain of six stores in Winnipeg that sells natural health products and healthful foods. Many of his customers are mystified by the multiple beef options in the marketplace, he added. “I’d say there is a lot of confusion about it. People know that they are looking for a more natural alternative,” said Holtmann, standing next to a cooler stocked with meat and cheese. “But they’re a little bit confused on whether natural is good enough. Or should it be organic? What about grass fed?” Holtmann made his comments after a product launch in late February for three grass fed beef products. Producers from the Manitoba Grass Fed Beef Association were at the store to promote saskatoon

maple sausage, farmer sausage and paté. One of those producers, Bragi Simundsson of Arborg, Man., said some Canadian consumers still don’t understand grass fed beef and the related health benefits. However, consumer knowledge about beef production is on the rise, he added. “I think (there are) more articles in health magazines, talking about the CLA (conjugated linoleic acids) and talking about the benefits of omega 3 fatty acids,” said Simundsson, who has been marketing grass fed beef in Manitoba for 15 years. “I think a lot of people, the more they get to know about the industrial ag model, the less they like it and they start looking for alternatives.” Simundsson, one of eight producers in the Manitoba Grass Fed Beef Association, acknowledged that grass fed isn’t going to dominate the province’s beef marketplace anytime soon. Nevertheless, there is an opportunity for growth, he said. “We’re trying to grow the demand and supply at the same time. Where it’s going to end, we really have no idea. We’re never going to be the majority of the beef sold in the province, but we don’t have to be.” With Vita Health on board, products from the Grass Fed Beef Association are now available at six grocery stores in Winnipeg and at the St. Noraccess=subscriber section=news,livestock,none

Simundsson said several producers might join the association, but it’s hard to know how large the market will grow, considering that presumably well-informed shoppers at a store like Vita Health can’t differentiate grass fed from other beef. “There’s a lot of competing information out there,” said Holtmann, including proponents of organic, natural and grass fed beef.

“It’s not my job to tell (customers) what the right philosophy is. It’s my job to educate them about the different philosophies so they can make good purchasing decisions…. We’re facilitating the options.” However, Vita Health customers have moved in a definitive direction over the last few years when it comes to beef, Holtmann said, which may provide a boost for grass fed beef. “Organic is very important and it has all the certifications, but what’s

ENERGY | BIO-MASS

Plastic composites, briquettes fuel Ontario biomass business Volume required | Production costs drop as demand for composite components grow BY JEFFREY CARTER FREELANCE WRITER

RIDGETOWN, Ont. — The promise of a bio-economy has become a reality for this rural community in southwestern Ontario. The University of Guelph’s Ridgetown Campus is already home to biofuel and bio-gas research facilities, but a commercial operation is now processing straw that’s used to make components for Ontarioassembled Ford vehicles. Omtec Inc. owner Alok Goel sees his Ford connections as only the beginning. He also plans to produce composites and fuel briquettes and distribute biomass heating systems for farmers and greenhouse operators. “Once the volume is there, then the milling costs go down and the transportation costs go down,” he said. “It’s a matter of logistics. The trucks that bring the straw can then take my fencing materials.” Goel’s wheat straw requirements are modest, but he will need more as the business grows. The straw must be baled immediately after grain harvest because the proper moisture level is crucial. He also said straw quality varies

depending on the wheat variety. Superior quality increases the percentage of the straw that can be used for high value applications. The straw is first run through a hammer mill and then screened. It’s important to keep it from reaching an excessive temperature, and there’s a tight tolerance for particle size. Material that isn’t suited for composites can be made into briquettes. Goel hopes to be operating a small demonstration greenhouse next winter that will be heated with a briquette-fired boiler. He plans to supply farmers and greenhouse operators with affordable, biomass-based heating solutions, including processing equipment and boilers. “In the long run, there will be green credits the farmers can farm.” Goel believes he can compete with other energy sources, despite the low price of natural gas, because he will have more than one revenue stream. Straw, as a component in composites, is a high value material. Omtec now ships its processed straw to Akron, Ohio, where international compound manufacturer A. Schulman combines it with other materials. It’s then shipped to Detroit for a mould injection process and

onto the Ford assembly plant in Oakville, Ont. Half a pound of straw is in each Ford Flex as interior composite components, while a quarter pound is in each Ford Edge’s spare wheel cover. Up to 15 pounds of straw could be used for Ford vehicles in the future, and Goel understands there’s also interest from Toyota. Straw as a component in plastic composites saves weight, which improves fuel mileage. Fillers such as wood fibre have long been used to produce plastic components. The fibre provides strength similar to rebar in concrete construction. The composites Goel plans to produce at Ridgetown to make fencing materials will have a straw content of 40 percent. Goel operates a consulting engineering firm near Toronto and has a wide range of experience in the field. Born in India, he worked in Zimbabwe and Guyana and studied in England before settling in Canada. His interest in the bio-economy began with energy alternatives. He and his director of research and development, Jim Kozlowski, have been working with researchers at the universities of Toronto, Waterloo and Guelph. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

International demand for wheat since the CWB’s February Pool Return Outlook was good, with strong buying by Iran and other Middle Eastern importers. Wheat values rose as Black Sea exports were hurt by winter weather and tightening supplies. This drop was partially offset by increased Argentine and Australian exports,

the CWB said in the March PRO. The rising export values and steady U.S. wheat futures led to solid U.S. sales during the month. The increased U.S. export pace is expected to continue to support prices until the arrival of new crop supplies. The outlook for 2012-13 remains negative because a large world wheat crop is expected, with the International Grains Council (IGC) forecasting production at 680 million tonnes.

The IGC projects a slight reduction in 2012-13 ending stocks to 208 million tonnes from 211 million in 2011-12, but the overall number is still bearish. The prospect for increased corn plantings in the United States and other exporting regions is also a concern for the wheat market. Strong corn prices have supported wheat values and if corn markets drop in the new crop year, wheat will likely also fall.

and voice the concerns the municipalities have,� he said. For Barss, the councillors have an important voice that needs to be raising issues affecting rural Alberta with candidates in all parties. “We have to make sure they’re aware of the issues we’re involved with in rural Alberta,� said Barss, of Wainwright. “If we have well informed candidates that are going to form this next government we feel rural Alberta will be a step ahead.� The key message Barss wants councillors to communicate with politicians is that the government needs to continue building and rebuilding infrastructure in rural Alberta. Roads, bridges, schools, hospitals, water and waste-water facilities in rural Alberta all need upgrading, he added. “It’s all a big infrastructure deficit,� said Barss. “Our message is to continue to lobby government for long-term sustainable funding. Municipalities will never be able to handle the infrastructure deficit based on taxation. You’d end up taxing people right out of your community. If they’re going to build Alberta’s economy, you got to have an infrastructure in place to allow the economy to build and the population to grow.� Janis Simpkins, reeve of the MD of Greenview, said infrastructure funding is important, but it may not be the issue that takes hold with voters. “In our area, what we hear a lot about is land rights and property rights and land stewardship,� said Simpkins, whose municipality covers northern communities from Valleyview to Grande Cache. With plenty of questions about landowners rights, she said members of the governing Progressive Conservative party will need to spend plenty of time explaining their position. Don Johnson, MD of Taber councillor and former AAMD&C president, also thinks land issues will be the big issue in rural Alberta. “The biggest issue all over the province has to do with the land issues,� he said. “I think it’s unfortunate because there’s some misinformation, in my opinion, (that) has been deliberately spread.� County of Thorhild reeve Charles Newell said it wouldn’t be a provincial election without a discussion on health care. He also believes land issue rights and the controversy around transmission lines will be up for debate. Newell believes that with two strong women at the helm of the major parties — PC leader and premier Alison Redford and Wild Rose leader Danielle Smith — the election will be engaging but combative. “I expect it will be one of the dirtiest campaigns we’ve seen here in a long time.� Despite the dirty tricks and bad mouthing that he expects, Newell doesn’t believe the month-long campaign will change voters’ minds. “I bet you whatever the polling is on the first day of the campaign is going to be the same as it is on the last. I don’t think the conversation in that 28 days is going to change anybody’s mind. I think people will go into this election with their minds made up and who they’re going to vote for.�

AAMD&C | RESOLUTIONS

Municipal councillors present wish list at convention Municipalities discuss concerns | Province urged to improve physician recruitment, communication between emergency services

EDMONTON — Emergency service vehicles need better communication equipment so that firefighters can talk to ambulance operators during an emergency, says Neil Wilson of Nanton. Wilson told the Alberta Association of Municipal Districts and Counties’ spring convention that two wildfires 100 kilometres apart once stretched emergency services in the Municipal District of Willow Creek to the limit. High winds, flipped semi trucks and the threat of fire to humans and livestock created a crisis situation. What made matters worse was county and fire officials had no way of contacting staff in the ambulances, Wilson said while discussing a resolution at the convention. “We could see the ambulance three-quarters of a mile away, but we had no way of contacting them,” said Wilson. Municipalities used to administer rural ambulance services, but two years ago the provincial government shifted ambulance responsibility and communication to Alberta Health Services. However, Wilson said no way was left for first responders to talk to each other in an emergency. Wilson’s resolution requested that the provincial government help find and fund solutions to the communication troubles. It passed with 93 percent in favour.

Alberta want the provincial government to reopen the mothballed regional veterinary diagnostic lab in Fairview and repair and reactivate the large animal incinerator. “Currently there is no diagnostic service or incineration service in the northwest part of Alberta,” said MD of Fairview councillor Peggy Johnson. “When the vet lab was operating, it provided a necessary and well-used service to local livestock producers and veterinarians throughout the Peace.” The diagnostic lab was built in 1970

years, and the lab closed in 1999. Now, only elk heads can be dropped off at the lab to be tested for chronic wasting disease. All diagnostic testing is sent to a lab in Saskatchewan. A small, portable incinerator is used to dispose of the elk heads. More than $1.5 million was spent to renovate and rebuild a large animal incinerator, but it is still not functioning. Alberta agriculture minister Evan Berger said his office has discussed reopening the diagnostic lab, but he didn’t know about the non-function-

as part of Alberta Agriculture’s regional diagnostic service for livestock producers. Services were downgraded over the

ing incinerator. “That incinerator is news to me. I didn’t know we had something sitting unused and unavailable. I’ll get right on that and see what we can do because I think they probably go hand in hand with diagnostic services,” said Berger. “We’ve talked about the diagnostic lab and there’s hope of that, but I don’t know what our timeline is.… It’s good they brought it up and it’s good that we’re informed of it. That gives me the ground roots backing to stand up and have that discussion.”

Rural municipalities, which often find themselves in a bidding war to attract scarce medical professionals, want the province to help encourage medical staff to rural areas. “There is no such thing as universal health care for rural areas,” said Vulcan County councillor Rod Ruark. Municipalities build facilities, supply homes and offer financial incentives to encourage doctors to move to their communities. “The situation is getting worse,” said Ruark. Instead, the provincial government should live up to the spirit of the Canada Health Act and ensure all Albertans have good quality health care. “They have to try and make it attractive to get rural people to have the same medical care as urban people,” said Rick Geschwendt, also a Vulcan councillor. The Vulcan hospital is down from five to two doctors, and those are close to retirement. “We are having the dickens of a time. We need doctors to keep our hospital and emergency room open.” Geschwendt said he talked to councillors in rural areas between Calgary and Banff who don’t have the same difficulty attracting and keeping doctors because of the close vicinity to the mountains and the big city. They can’t move mountains closer to Vulcan, but they’re hoping the government can help find ways to encourage doctors to move and stay in rural areas.

LONDON, Ont. — A Canadian song sparrow study is shedding new light on the decline in bird species around the world. Liana Zanette of the Advanced Facilities for Avian Research (AFAR) says her work in British Columbia shows that predators affect birds beyond those they kill outright. Their mere presence can reduce the ability of nesting birds to raise their young by 40 percent. Together with habitat loss, the phenomenon may be a key reason why bird numbers have declined over the past 25 years, she said. “Wildlife of all kinds is being restricted to smaller and smaller pieces of land … and so if there’s any added pressure, they’re just going to disappear.” Zanette’s research was conducted at Victoria and on nearby uninhabited Gulf Islands. She observed birds in both habitats using video surveillance and other techniques and then conducted an experiment on one of the islands that used netting and electric fences to protect the song sparrows’ nesting sites from raccoons, owls, ravens, cowbirds, hawks and other predators. Speakers were set up to repeatedly broadcast the sound of predators. “The scared moms foraged less and were too busy looking out for predators,” Zanette said. They spent less time on their eggs, which reduced the hatching rates, and less time feeding their brood, which increased the number of fledglings that starved or succumbed to the elements. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

Major predators of birds include two species associated with the human population: cats and rats. The mere presence of a cat outdoors can have a negative impact on the ability of birds to raise their young, regardless of its hunting success. Zanette said the welfare of birds shouldn’t be taken lightly. “All sorts of birds, including song birds, are in decline everywhere in the world,” she said during a recent tour of the research facility. “I think they are a good indicator of how healthy our ecosystem is.” A variety of bird species live at the site, which is located at the University of Western Ontario. Some are permanent residents while others are released once they have contributed to the research. The facility has the only avian wind tunnel in the world in which changes in altitude can be mimicked. There’s also a capacity to film the birds in slow motion and examine in minute detail the air turbulence in their wake. “We have some research capacities here that cannot be done anywhere else in the world,” said Scott MacDougall-Shackleton of the facility. “Our goal here is to bring researchers together from different disciplines.… If we can look at birds from different angles we can come up with new insights.” The emphasis is to better understand how birds function. In some instances, the knowledge gleaned can have a direct effect on people. For example, researchers have discovered that activity increases in the song section of song birds’ brains during the courting season. “This research on birds totally revolutionized our knowledge of neural science,” MacDougall-Shackleton said. Climate change is another area of interest for centre researchers. While some bird species are able to alter their migration patterns from year to year according to temperature shifts, others take their cue solely by the photo period. Regardless, the success of species can be affected if the timing of their arrival to a destination doesn’t coincide with when their primary food source is most abundant.

Chicken producers president ready to tackle problems

CANADA’S ANNUAL PRODUCTION OF CHICKEN PRODUCTS IS WORTH MORE THAN

$2 billion

Reducing the cost of production is a top priority for the poultry sector BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

The new president of Chicken Farmers of Canada knows from personal experience how fragile his industry can be. When avian influenza struck in Abbotsford, B.C., in 2004, Dave Janzen was one of the lucky ones, sort of. His farm was in the quarantine zone but not at the epicenter of the outbreak. “My farm was never infected, luckily,” the 55-year-old producer said. “I was able to grow my flock out and ship it under permit. CFIA (Canadian Food Inspection Agency) had to test them first and all that.” However, he was not immune to the damage. “Because the whole industry was shut down and I was in the quarantine area, I actually missed the following two flocks,” he said. “My barns were empty for quite some time.” Janzen, who was raised on a dairy farm in British Columbia’s Fraser Valley, started his chicken operation next door in 1981. He and wife Jeannie now sell close to one million kilograms of chicken a year from a 60,000-bird flock. He was elected CFC chair March 20, replacing Nova Scotia producer David Fuller who had held the position for 13 years. In an interview after he chaired his first board meeting March 21, Janzen said he was “a little out of my comfort zone right now, but hopefully I will smooth the bumps out.” He is not entirely new to the process, having served on the executive committee for the past two years, the last one as first vice-chair. Janzen takes over as the industry and its supply-managed system faces a period of modest growth and serious problems. “I’ve inherited some very big issues that are not going away until we find some kind of resolution,” he said. Top among them is a demand from Alberta and Ontario that their provinces be given more quota to reflect their growing population. At last week’s meeting, there was enough resistance from other provinces that no deal on quota transfer was possible. “The pressure is on us as a national agency to try to find a solution that will accommodate several if not all the provinces,” he said. “We need to find a resolution, a great Canadian compromise.” The other pressing issue is rising production costs that threaten to eat into producer margins and affect market demand. Janzen said input costs, particularly feed and energy, are a constant concern. “Consumers can only afford to pay so much,” he said. “That’s why we’re trying to keep a lid on the situation, but ultimately the costs have to be passed through or we’ll have companies failing. The flip side is what is going to be the impact on consumer demand be-

cause there are lots of choices out there, particularly in meat.” Fuller had some advice on the issue. “We have to continue to drive our costs down, to be more competitive,” he said in an interview. “As an industry, I would say this really is a key priority. There’s no sign at all that we will be seeing relief from this pressure anytime soon.”

supply management, Fuller explicitly refuted the claim. “I tip my hat to minister Gerry Ritz and to the Conservative government for their unfailing support to the chicken industry and supply management,” he wrote in his last chair’s report. Fuller’s departure led to fulsome tributes from leaders of the chicken industry. CFC executive director Mike Dungate called his retirement the “end of an era” for the national chicken system. Fuller, who farms near Canning, N.S., presided over the industry during more than a decade of world trade negotiations at which supply management protectionism was a constant issue. His term in office also featured federal-provincial negotiations, tensions in the supply managed system, the 2004 avian influenza debacle and subsequent growth of the industry as it became the largest Canadian meat protein consumer choice with more than one billion kilograms produced each year. The one billion kg mark was memorable because it showed an industry growing while other meat protein sectors were not, Fuller said in a March 21 interview. “Whenever you are in a growth mode and when you look around and see your fellow commodities have their markets shrinking, it has absolutely been a highlight,” he said. “It says we’re doing something right and the opportunity, I hate to say it, to take more market share away from them would be absolutely perfect.” Fuller said another highlight of his 13 years as CFC president was the organization’s decision to contribute to food banks and other community initiatives, including strong support for the Ottawa food bank where CFC offices are located. The 2002 federal-provincial agreement for the long-term future of the chicken industry was a key moment, he said. And he leaves the federal scene certain that the supply management system will remain intact despite an avalanche of recent criticism from academics, media commentators and trade liberalization economists. “I have all kinds of confidence that we can safeguard supply management,” Fuller said in the interview. “We have been assured by the people that matter most, which is not the media but the government of Canada that negotiates the (trade) deals … that they will continue to protect supply management,” he said. He returns to a farm that is one of the largest chicken producers in the province and that now has a stake in a new poultry processing plant opening this year in nearby Kentville, N.S., which will take his birds and guarantee a market for a shrinking Nova Scotia industry. The 1950s immigrant from England with his parents now takes pride in the fact that his daughters and their families will carry on the Fuller family tradition of farming in the fertile and historic Annapolis Valley area west of Halifax — the site of Canada’s first grain production.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has approved a new liquid nutrient seed treatment for use on wheat, oats, barley and corn. Awaken ST is manufactured by Loveland Products and available from UAP Canada Inc. as part of its Nutritionals portfolio of products. Awaken ST is a patented, seed-applied nutrient that includes 6-0-1 and 5% zinc plus boron, copper, iron, manganese and molybdenum. “Awaken ST puts nutrients where a germinating plant needs them – on the seed,” says Eric Gregory, Western Product Manager with UAP Canada Inc. “It’s a unique, nutrient-based product that helps develop a larger, more extensive root system, quicker emergence and greater plant biomass for improved plant health and vigour. All of this supports the goals of progressive growers in pursuit of maximum yield and return on their crop inputs investment.” In independent research and CFIA registration trials, Awaken ST increased stand establishment, biomass and yield. Research conducted in 2009 at North Dakota State University on hard red spring wheat showed a significant

increase in plant emergence and an 8 percent yield increase when compared to untreated seed. Gregory explains that the patented zinc ammonium acetate compound found in Awaken ST is the key driver behind both the plant and soil effects of the product. In the plant, zinc boosts auxin production, which promotes cell division and increased lateral root growth. “Improved lateral root growth means more root hairs. In terms of nutrient and water uptake we know that root hairs do all the heavy lifting,” says Gregory.

Janzen from British Columbia. “Basically, it was a reluctance from a lot of directors that it is only accommodating one province. The pressure is on us as a national agency to try to find a solution that will accommodate several if not all the provinces.” In a March 21 interview, Janzen said he recognizes the Alberta complaint that population growth means the province should have more quota to meet increase provincial demand. Ontario is making the same demand, although Alberta is the only province threatening to pull out of the national supply control system if it does not get more quota. Janzen said determining provincial production share is the greatest challenge facing the national system, and he wants CFC to deal with it. “There is tremendous pressure coming at the agency for some flexibility and recognition of the economic activity and population increases vis-a-vis other parts of the country,” he said. “The pressure is on the system to be able to adapt and accommodate.” Janzen said he is looking for a “great Canadian compromise” on the issue by next year. “I’m hopeful that by the end of this year, we’ll be on a work plan to a solution that could possibly be resolved sometime mid-next year,” he said. Alberta Chicken Producers executive director Karen Kirkwood said in an interview before the national meeting that the national system’s production allocation is stuck in the past. “The gap is 16.5 million kilograms,” she said. “We are not proposing an immediate increase to fix this but a gradual increase under the ‘exceptional circumstance’ rule over some years.” She said Alberta now has 11 percent of Canada’s population but just 9.15 percent of chicken production. Imports are needed to meet the growing demand. The CFC annual report for 2011 shows a 1.1 percent decline in Alberta chicken production to 91.9 million k g w h i l e nat i o na l p ro d u c t i o n increased slightly to 1.023 billion kg. Retiring CFC chair David Fuller said revising provincial allocation was a major unresolved issue from his 13 years at the helm. “This has been a very contentious issue and there have been many attempts to resolve it, but we have been unable to bridge the differences between the members,” he said in his final report to CFC members. There will be “no easy solution.” Janzen said increasing national production quota and giving the increase to the aggrieved provinces would be a cure worse than the disease. “We heard loud and clear from our processor members that economic and market conditions out there are just not favourable enough for more than one to two percent growth per year,” he said. He said the only solution will be to convince provinces to realign existing quota allotments between provinces, as politically sensitive as that is.

CANADIAN WHEAT BOARD | CHANGES

Feds give Ontario farmers credit for helping change CWB Seeking east and west equality | Ontario grain industry part of impetus to change single desk system for Canadian producers BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Although ending the Canadian Wheat Board monopoly has been a key policy objective of western Conservatives for decades, the government continues to tell Ontario wheat producers they provided the template. Beginning in 1988, its first federal election as a fledgling political force, the Reform party campaigned across the Prairies against the CWB single desk. Yet last week, Ontario Conservative

MP Pierre Lemieux, parliamentary secretary to agriculture minister Gerry Ritz, told members of the Grain Farmers of Ontario (GFO) annual meeting in London, Ont., that they helped inspire the government to act. Eight years ago, producers in that province voted to end the Ontario Wheat Board single desk. “The Ontario grain industry was certainly a huge inspiration for the move to marketing freedom in Western Canada,” said Lemieux. He noted that Ritz announced CWB legislation on the eastern Ontario

farm of former GFO president Don Kenney. “With the passage of (CWB legislation) in December, western farmers finally have the same freedom to run their businesses that you enjoy here in Ontario. Your wheat industry went to an open market eight years ago and you haven’t looked back.” Lemieux said the Ontario industry has expanded to two million tonnes with close to half of it exported. As w e l l , w h e at v a l u e - a d d i n g ha s expanded in the province. “In the same way, we’re already

seeing marketing freedom injecting new life into the western Canadian wheat industry with new valueadded investments and new risk management tools for farmers,” he said. Lemieux said there is “a reinvigorated CWB that’s ready to take farmers’ grain as a viable marketing option, just as GFO is here in Ontario.” In fact, the final shape of the prairie grain industry in the aftermath of the CWB single desk has yet to be determined as grain industry ownership realigns and the CWB presence and programs evolve.

During the House of Commons debate on wheat board legislation last autumn, Conservative MPs often cited the Ontario experience as a reason to give western farmers the same open market that their Ontario counterparts have. Opponents were quick to point out that while Ontario wheat farmers voted to end the marketing monopoly, it was imposed on western producers without a similar vote — an issue that is now before the courts. They said the comparison was not appropriate.

FOOD | REVENUE

Food sector profits shrink Farmgate prices rise BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Higher agricultural commodity prices were a key factor in shrinking food manufacturing sector profits last year, according to a Conference Board of Canada report published last week. Despite a sharp increase in revenues to $84.3 billion, the industry saw costs increase at a faster pace in 2011 and before-taxes profits fall 0.8 percent to $4.46 billion. This year will be a repeat with cost increases exceeding revenue growth and industry profits falling to $4.41 billion. The conference board, an Ottawabased economic research organization, predicts that industry profits will rebound beginning next and could nudge above $5 billion by 2016. Strong farmgate prices and rising oil prices are major ingredients in the industry outlook. “Prices for key industry ingredients such as wheat, corn and animal products have all experienced large increases over the past year,” said the report. “The price of crude oil is also up 12 percent from where it was last year, which is affecting the delivered price for agricultural commodities and the industry’s transportation and energy costs.” Over the next decade, the conference board projects that poultry prices will increase 50 percent with beef and pork likely to see increases between 20 percent and 30 percent. Wheat is projected to have only modest price growth of 10 percent by the end of the decade. Beyond the bottom line, the report also noted that the food industry is changing to respond to evolving consumer demands. Food manufacturing companies and food retailers are spending money to improve their environmental performance and image. As an example, Coca-Cola has invested millions of dollars in three biotechnology companies developing plastic bottles made from plant-based materials rather than fossil fuel. The report also said the food industry is increasingly recognizing the consumer demand for healthier food.

It was a stay-the-course budget as far as agriculture was concerned when finance minister Ken Krawetz delivered Saskatchewan’s 2012-13 financial plan last week.

Most of the $430.8 million allocated to agriculture this year — the second largest agriculture budget in the province’s history — will fully fund the business risk management programs that Ottawa and Regina have agreed should support producers. Three-quarters of the budget will cover crop insurance premiums, AgriStability and AgriInvest. Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association president Mark Elford said he was pleased to see those programs fully funded. The economic situation in agriculture is generally positive, but programs like these must be in place, he added. Agriculture minister Bob Bjornerud repeated his message to reporters and stakeholders that there will be no AgriRecovery payments this year. “Ad hoc is not reliable, not dependable for producers,” he said. Elford said saying that is one thing, but the disaster program should still be better defined and governments should work to explain the triggers to producers. “It’s something that I’ve asked about before, but it’s very hard for the government to say,” he said. “We’d like to know ahead of time.” The budget includes $1.9 million in additional irrigation funding to rehabilitate the M1 Canal and an extra $1 million for international market development and trade advocacy. A new expenditure in this year’s budget is $1.3 million to pay for meat inspection services. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has provided that to provincial plants at no charge but is now operating on a cost-recovery basis. As of January 2014, it will not be providing the service at all. The province is consulting with industry on what type of inspection service is required after that date. Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities president David Marit said most of what SARM had been looking for in the budget from an agricultural perspective was already known. Increased funding for rat eradication and continued money to deal with other pests was announced at the recent SARM convention. SARM administers many of the programs on behalf of the province. “The big one for us is the revenue sharing,” Marit said. “This money goes to municipalities without any strings attached … and how we spend that money is in the best interests of our ratepayers.” Revenue sharing went up this year because municipalities get one full point of provincial sales tax revenue. Rural municipalities will receive a total of $68.9 million, or $6 million more than last year. The province also maintained the $23.5 million funding for the municipal roads for the economy program. Agricultural spending already announced included a record $20.4 million for research projects.

New strategies for controlling Glyphosate Resistant Kochia.

Grant Deveson says the practice of rotating herbicides has been largely forgotten when it comes to glyphosate.

Glyphosate resistant kochia is not just coming to Canada. It’s already here. Even more troubling, it is poised to spread quickly unless farmers start taking preventative measures.

This product provides dependable control of kochia plants 4” tall or less. In addition, CleanStart will control Roundup Ready® volunteer canola from the the 1 - 3 leaf stage, spring germinating dandelions and all weeds that are controlled with glyphosate.

This past year, Agriculture and Agri-food Canada researchers confirmed the presence of glyphosate tolerant kochia plants in the Lethbridge region of southern Alberta. It is a weed that has already reared its head in several US states, including Nebraska, Kansas and Colorado.

Deveson says CleanStart can be applied on its own or topped up with additional glyphosate for sharper control of larger weeds, winter annuals and perennials. Being a contact herbicide, it’s important to stick with the necessary water volume (10 gallons/acre). CleanStart can be applied pre-seed or up to three days post-seed.

“Kochia is a highly competitive weed that spreads extremely quickly,” explains Nufarm Commercial Manager, Grant Deveson.

Authority® is a next generation selective pre-emergent herbicide. It is registered for peas, flax, sunflowers, and chickpeas. This soil applied residual product is activated with moisture, and forms a barrier in the soil to keep kochia out.

The agriculture industry is taking this news very seriously. There is a real concern that this new strain of resistant kochia will be hard to contain for several reasons.

Kochia is a highly prolific seed producer. In addition to spreading seeds through the wind, kochia is a tumbleweed. It can travel quickly and cover great distances – dispersing seeds along the way. Once pollen from glyphosate resistant kochia crossbreeds with other plants, the genetics responsible for the resistance can be passed on. Farmers and seed producers throughout Western Canada are being urged to reevaluate their burndown practices – and target kochia with products that offer a different mode of action. “Agronomists and scientists have preached the importance of rotating herbicides. But for whatever reason, this practice has largely been forgotten when it comes to glyphosate. Taking the proper steps now will help slow the spread,” Deveson says. Nufarm, a Calgary-based herbicide manufacturer, has recently introduced two new products that are proven to eliminate kochia in a spring burndown application: CleanStart® and Authority®. As Group 14 products, both provide an effective means of controlling glyphosate tolerant kochia plants.

CleanStart®: Kochia control ahead of all key crops. CleanStart® has become recognized as an advanced burndown solution for safe control of kochia and a broad spectrum of weeds ahead of pulse and canola crops. But what is not as widely known is that CleanStart is also registered for wheat, barley, flax, soybeans, potatoes, corn and oats… which makes it ideally suited for addressing glyphosate resistant kochia in most key crops grown on the prairies.

Authority®: Kochia control for specialty crops.

The secret is sulfentrazone: a, Group 14 chemistry that prevents aggressive weeds from emerging. Kochia, wild buckwheat, lamb’s quarters and pigweed are among the weeds Authority will control.. “Authority is incredibly safe… but don’t let that fool you,” Deveson says. “It does a number on some pretty hard to kill weeds. That’s what makes it such a welcome option for those growing these sensitive specialty crops.”

And that’s not all. Deveson notes there are a number of other Nufarm products growers can use to provide early season kochia control. Nufarm 2,4-D Ester and Amitrol 240 can both be tank mixed with glyphosate, and will take out resistant kochia. Meanwhile, Valtera™ is a Group 14 residual soybean herbicide that does an exceptional job.

Do your part to fight resistance. Herbicide rotation is an essential part of any weed management strategy. As we’re starting to realize, this applies to glyphosate as well. Ask your retailer or crop advisor about these and other options for early season kochia control.

Fighting resistant kochia in-crop. If you miss it at burndown Deveson says Nufarm has two exceptional products for taking down kochia (including glyphosate resistant plants) in cereal crops. Estaprop® is one of the best products available for controlling kochia in-crop. It is a very well established Group 4 chemistry known to clean up even heavily infested fields. Lately, there has been much talk surrounding Nufarm’s launch of Enforcer™, which contains two proven modes of action to battle all types of kochia. “Moving forward, Enforcer may emerge as the best in-crop broadleaf product for fighting the spread of glyphosate resistant kochia,” Deveson concludes.

“Because it is registered for so many crops, is easy to tank mix and is quite reasonably priced, CleanStart is being touted as the new line of defence for controlling glyphosate resistant kochia,” Deveson reveals. CleanStart is formulated with carfentrazone and glyphosate. It is the carfentrazone component that provides control of actively growing kochia plants on contact.

UNIVERSITY OF CALGARY | BEEF AND DAIRY

Researcher probes effectiveness of BVD vaccines Spread the word | More producers need to test BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Herman Vandenham, who farms northwest of Brandon, digs up a sample of Buteo winter wheat, which he took into his shop to see if it will come out of dormancy and start to grow in the warmth. The lack of snow this winter has some farmers wondering if their winter wheat received enough insulation from the cold, but with the unusually mild winter, Vandenham is optimistic that his 700 acres of winter wheat will do well. | SANDY BLACK PHOTO Sponsored by your local AGROTAIN® nitrogen stabilizer representative

Nitrogen Miser N Stabilizer is Good for Yield, Spring Schedule By Shawn Colborn Shawn Colborn

The hustle and bustle of planting season is quickly approaching. One way to save time is to avoid the hassle and expense of putting all your nitrogen down at seeding, by substituting a broadcast application before seeding, right after seeding or even after emergence with urea protected by AGROTAIN® nitrogen stabilizer. You can still get the nutrients the plant needs to get a good start, but avoid the crush of having to place all your nitrogen at once and all the time it takes away from seeding to stop and fill the fertilizer tank. Cool spring conditions can make your urea fertilizer vulnerable to nitrogen loss. As much as 30 percent or more of surface-applied nitrogen can be lost in the first critical weeks after

application even with melting snow and cold temperatures. That’s why AGROTAIN® nitrogen stabilizer needs to be part of your program. It is the only product proven to reduce nitrogen loss through ammonia volatilization. Wheat is a nitrogen-intensive crop. It requires 2.2 pounds of nitrogen for each bushel produced, agronomists say. What’s more, wheat requires nitrogen in all plant development phases. So what happens if the crop doesn’t get the nitrogen it needs? The results can include reduced tillering, smaller head sizes, poor grain fill, diminished yields and low protein content. A carefully timed nitrogen application can prevent most of those problems. Seeding fields immediately after surface applying your fertilizer

isn’t enough to protect against N loss. Adding AGROTAIN® nitrogen stabilizer to urea or UAN, at a cost of just pennies per pound of N, controls nitrogen volatilization loss. Growers gain cost efficiencies and time efficiencies because their fertilizer investment is protected which leads to higher yields. Growers gain peace of mind knowing that their nitrogen will be protected and used efficiently by the crop resulting in a better bottom line.

The spectre of bovine virus disease persists on Alberta dairy and beef operations. Among the worst cases are the persistently infected cattle that spread the costly disease to herd mates and unborn calves. One University of Calgary researcher wants to find those animals to learn more about them and help farmers get rid of the disease. Frank van der Meer of the U of C’s veterinary school is investigating the effectiveness of BVD vaccines. In the second phase of his research, he wants to work with 10 dairy and five cow-calf herds in Alberta. Those enrolled in the study will have their herds tested. Working with their veterinarians, they will receive follow-up care to examine risk factors and ways to remove the virus from their farms. “These kind of initiatives can only be successful if producers want to do it,” said van der Meer. He is looking for animals that have multiple respiratory tract infections and multiple abortions, cows that are unexpectedly open and calves that did not grow well. “I look for animals that are generally small for their age and have a head that looks older,” he said. However, some appear outwardly healthy but are still spreading the virus. He has already received five persistently infected animals. They were euthanized and their organs and other tissues collected to examine the effects of this multi-faceted disease, which leads to respiratory infections, abortions and weak calves. The disease presents itself differently in a dairy herd. Persistently infected calves are infected during the first four months of gestation, which means there is always a susceptible fetus because there are always pregnant cows on a dairy farm.

A 2006 study on production limiting diseases found that nearly onethird of Alberta dairy herds showed a positive immune response to the test, meaning they were exposed to the virus. Calves will likely be infected if their mothers have the virus during pregnancy. Calving is seasonal in beef herds, which limits the introduction of persistently infected calves. Getting the information out to producers remains a challenge. “We need to do way more work there. The interest is there,” van der Meer said. The U of C researchers are trying to educate producers about the disease, the risks and how to remove it from a farm. Improved biosecurity is needed. The current hot beef cattle market may increase the risk because producers are expanding their herds and may inadvertently introduce the disease through a new group of replacement heifers with unknown health status. Too few producers ask for health records or test animals for disease. “Even if they sell high quality products like semen, embryos or bulls, they never test,” van der Meer said. “If you want to find trouble, we a lways go to peo ple wh o hav e expanded recently and usually we are successful.… If they want to keep me in business they need to continue their practices.” The researchers are focusing on BVD but have found other diseases in the course of their work, which makes biosecurity plans more critical. “We need to work on the perception of infectious diseases a bit more and how they will look at it. It is not only BVD that is important,” he said. “We don’t want to over burden the farmers with all kinds of programs and initiatives. We need to work on one disease at a time so people understand what and why they are doing it.” Producers interested in joining the study may call van der Meer at 403210-6297. access=subscriber section=news,livestock,none

HEALTH | MEAT STUDY

Study links red meat consumption to early death Harvard School of Public Health | Dietitians take issue with university’s conclusion linking red meat to premature death BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Is red meat killing us? Or at least, causing us to die prematurely from heart disease or cancer? The answers to those questions are yes, say scientists with the Harvard School of Public Health. In a study titled “Red Meat Consumption and Mortality,” published March 12 in the Archives of Internal Medicine, Harvard researchers concluded that consumption of red meat leads to an early death. “This study provides clear evidence

that regular consumption of red meat, especially processed meat, contributes substantially to premature death,” said Frank Hu, Harvard School of Public Health nutrition and epidemiology professor. The clear link between red meat and early death is based on an epidemiological study, in which Harvard researchers followed a group of 37,000 men for up to 22 years and 83,000 women for up to 28 years. The scientists assessed the diets of the men and women via questionnaires, done every four years. They concluded that one daily serving of

unprocessed red meat increased the risk of death by 13 percent, compared to someone who didn’t eat red meat. Further, one additional daily serving of processed meat (a hot dog or two slices of bacon) increased the risk of death by 20 percent. The study from a high profile university like Harvard and the scientists’ blunt assessment generated media buzz throughout North America. However, the research doesn’t mirror the larger body of nutritional science on red meat, said Karine Gale, Canada Beef nutrition program manager.

“I would say it’s way too simplistic. You can’t take a single food item… and say it’s going to cause X,” said Gale, a registered dietitian. “What we eat and how we live our lives is very complex. Obesity, exercise, how much you’re sleeping… how much sodium you’re eating, they’re all interrelated.” The study noted that men and women in the study group who ate more red meat were “less likely to be physically active and were more likely to be current smokers, to drink alcohol and to have a higher body mass index.”

RLEY. Barley and wheat growers trust their grass weed control to safe, flexible

But the study’s authors noted their conclusions were adjusted for associated lifestyle risks. Nonetheless, the inherit weakness of an epidemiological study is it can’t isolate one variable from other behaviours, Gale said. That is why scientists rely on other types of experiments, like randomized control studies, to establish a relationship between cause and effect. “The totality of the science supports that we include moderate amount of lean beef (in our diet) and there’s nothing in this latest study to change that,” said Gale, who noted there are a number of randomized control trials on lean beef, which show it is just as healthy as chicken or fish. “Beef is a food on Canada’s Food Guide and it’s there for a reason. It’s nutrient rich.” Although she hasn’t read the Harvard study, Amanda Nash, community nutrition manager with the Heart & Stroke Foundation in Winnipeg, said unprocessed red meat can be part of a healthy diet if consumers follow a few rules: • select lean cuts of meat • cook the meat in healthy ways, such as grilling, roasting, broiling, or any way that reduces the amount of saturated fat in the meat • watch portion sizes As well, reducing the frequency of red meat consumption is good for your heart, Nash said. “Dietitians generally recommend red meat, two times a week, is an appropriate amount.” As for processed meats, Canadians should avoid or eat less bacon, sausages and cold cuts, Nash noted, because they are loaded with saturated fat and sodium.

THE STUDY SAYS: • The Harvard study monitored eating habits of 83,644 women from 1980 to 2008 and 37,698 men from 1986 to 2008 • Eating one additional serving of unprocessed red meat per day increases mortality risk by 13 percent • Eating one additional serving of processed red meat per day increases mortality risk by 20 percent

RESEARCH | WINTER CEREALS

Winter wheat promising, but problematic When to seed | Field tests put winter wheat into pulse stubble with mixed results BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Researchers in Saskatchewan are trying to crack the code that will allow prairie producers to fully realize the potential of winter wheat. Experts in the field have identified potential, but researchers told the University of Saskatchewan’s recent Soils and Crops presentations that more work is required to better understand the crop and identify best practices. Returns from winter wheat can be high, said the U of S researcher Monica Baga — as much as 40 percent over spring seeded wheat — but production is generally limited to the southern most parts of the province because cultivars don’t exist that are cold hardy enough to grow in other areas. And then there’s the issue of when to grow it, said Edgar Hammermeister of Western Ag Labs. “The biggest challenge is the seeding during harvest is the real bottleneck to trying to get the crop established into the farm routine,” he said. Hammermeister said winter wheat production suffers because farmers are attracted to high-yielding, longseason varieties of canola, which makes seeding during harvest difficult, especially into canola stubble. In 2010, Western Ag Labs conducted two studies in Saskatchewan — at Alameda and Churchbridge — into whether winter wheat could successfully be seeded into pulse stubble and what effects residue from Group 2 herbicides, commonly used on pulses, have on the crop. In the study, CDC Kestrel, CDC Ptarmigan and Sunrise were seeded into pulse stubble with a zinc application.

While winter wheat can net high margins, acreage devoted to the crop has declined in Saskatchewan. |

“In the spring, though, when we started looking at the plots, we knew there was some issues,” said Hammermeister. Yields varied from dismal returns at the Alameda site that were in some cases below 20 bushels per acre to better results at Churchbridge of more than 50 bu. per acre. Temperature monitoring at the sites indicated survival should have been better. In fact, yields were down significantly compared to nearby commercial fields. Hammermeister said the results show a negative influence of Group 2 residue. As for the discrepancy between sites, he said the results mirror what he has heard anecdotally from farmers. “There’s guys who do have success growing winter wheat on pea ground and other guys have failures and the study that we had here looking at two locations ... is suggesting what we saw is what farmers are experiencing, and I would suggest that further investigation would be worthwhile into this,” said Hammermeister.

Baga said U of S researchers are trying to better understand cold hardiness by examining the traits of winter wheat plants, such as prostrate growth. She used the example of Northstar, which is a superior variety for Saskatchewan because when the plant is in prostrate growth stage its leaves grow closer to the ground. “There might be some genetic connection here between the different developmental traits and the cold tolerance trait in winter wheat, and our aim is to try and identify this gene so we can use them for breeding more cold hardy winter wheat in the future.” There is also the issue of when varieties begin cold acclimation: Norstar starts acclimation at 14 or 15 C, compared to Winter Manitou, which starts at 10 or 11 C. “So of course, a plant that can start cold acclimation at a higher temperature in the fall is going to be much better prepared for frost that will occur later into he season,” she said.

RESEARCH | CANOLA

Sask. farmers learning lessons about water Broadcasting canola | Farmers seeding late make the most of a bad situation BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Farmers trying to make the most of a bad situation may want to consider broadcasting canola in waterlogged fields, says an official with Saskatchewan’s South East Research Farm. While typically not a recommended practice, it could help producers recoup some costs when they’ve already applied fertilizer and conditions turn ugly, Lana Shaw of the non-profit institute in Redvers, Sask., said during the University of Saskatchewan’s recent Soils and Crops presentations in Saskatoon. That was the situation experienced by many producers in southeastern Saskatchewan and southwestern Manitoba in 2011 as they struggled to seed amid extreme moisture. It was also the impetus for a field survey that the research farm conducted in August to document what farmers were doing and the returns they were

Beware the pirate of the prairies

seeing on their canola crops. “The air seeders, as of about the middle of May, were stuck. Depending on what type they had, how much rubber they had on their air seeders, some were able to seed more, some less,” she said. “But broadcast equipment sold fast. It was very common to see a Valmar mounted on a cultivator frame and then harrowing it at the same time. There was a lot of that going on.” The survey examined 32 canola fields in May and June: three seeded by airplane,10 by air drill, 16 by broadcast and harrow and three volunteer. As the end of June neared, seeded acres in southeastern Saskatchewan remained low. Producers in crop district 1a (33 percent seeded) and 1b (17 percent) were affected the worst by excess moisture. The survey found that plant emergence was similar among methods, as were average yields, which ranged

A 2011 field survey found many farmers in southeastern Saskatchewan seeded late in the season by broadcast and harrow. | FILE PHOTOS from 18.1 to 21.6 bushels per acre — with the exception of “dismal” returns for volunteer fields. What stood out, however, were the seeding dates. The broadcast fields seeded in June saw similar results as fields seeded one and two weeks earlier, which showed there could be an advantage for producers to seed late rather than letting fields lie fallow. Under these less than ideal conditions, broadcast seeding could provide weed control, while being preferable to mudding in seeds. “You do want something there using all that excess moisture,” said Shaw. The survey found that phosphate applications varied among the fields, but nitrogen applications of 60 to 80 pounds per acre consistently netted better results. “It seemed as though as long as they had some nitrogen to be getting on

with in this really hard year, they could get some yield,” she said. Shaw recommended adjusting fertilizer for a lower target yield and possibly a split application if canola does establish well. Fields may also require two herbicide applications for weed control, she added. She said farmers will have to weigh the risk of seeding versus what they know can be obtained through crop

insurance. Other considerations include the effects on rotations. She said there are still more questions than answers for agronomists. “We’ve gained a lot of expertise in how to deal with semi-arid dry soils and our equipment is designed for seeding into pretty dry conditions ... but you take that same equipment into a wet situation and there’s problems.”

To learn more, visit your local Case IH dealer or caseih.com/efficientpower.

The all-new Track-Pack silage bagger stuffs a full 20-foot truckload of forage into the big, white bag every 60 to 90 seconds. That kind of hay volume means a farm’s operations manager needs to be well organized and have a lot of trucks to keep the bagging machine running at peak efficiency, says Mike Koskela. He was an engineer with AgBag Forage Solutions for 20 years before setting up his own company, PacBag. “To keep any of these high volume baggers running efficiently, you need a full truck waiting to back up to the feed table the instant an empty truck pulls out,” said Koskela, who initiated the concept of a steel tracked bagger and did the design and engineering on the Track-Pack system. “The machine takes the feed in and packs it into the bag just about as fast as you can unload a truck. Corn comes in easy. If you’re running hard in corn, guys will sometimes have two or even three choppers in the field and as many as 25 trucks all running at the same time. “I spent 20 years in the field, working directly with the people who run the machines. They always have the best ideas ... “I think we’ve eliminated the problems and the design flaws that impede the flow of material into the bag. And I’ve incorporated the new ideas people wanted to see.” He studied every silage bagger on the market before sitting down at the drafting table and selected the best technologies that would not create patent issues later on. He said Track-Pack uses the same basic concept as the Ag-Bag, Versa and other bagger brands. There’s a feed table, rotor and tunnel, but the main difference is that Track-Pack uses hydrostatic drive to power the rotor, creating more torque at the rotor.

“Our diesel doesn’t have as much power as some of the other machines, but the hydrostatic drive makes our horsepower do more work. We can apply way more torque to the rotor and that’s what gives us better packing. In fact, we have more torque on the rotor than the biggest machines on the market.” He said the Caterpillar C9 engine runs at the same r.p.m. as other machines. When it starts to load and reach full horsepower, the hydraulic control backs off on the oil flow and increases the pressure. Koskela said it’s basic hydraulic engineering. The rotor slows so hydraulic pressure is increased.

“We can double the torque at the rotor with hydraulics. These are pressure compensated pumps, so we can vary the flow as we want,” he said. “Once the engine is running at 375 horsepower, if it slows down by 50 r.p.m., the pumps automatically back o f f. T h e y re d u c e t h e f l ow a n d increase the pressure. Horsepower remains steady at 375, but torque at the rotor goes up.” Instrumentation in the cab gives the operator continuous readouts on all mechanical, hydraulic and engine functions. However, the data does more than just keep the operator informed. The computer co-ordinates the information and feeds it into the braking system. The use of steel tracks instead of round rubber tires is the other big difference in the Track-Pack bagger. Koskela said the brakes are applied to the steel tracks, thus regulating the crawl speed of the packer. “We use steel tracks for traction

rather than messing with anchors and cables and backstops. The brakes control the creep so we get maximum packing in the bag. “With the weight of the machine and the grip of the tracks, we can pack to the same density or higher density compared to other baggers. And we do this without any cables or anchors inside or outside the bag. There’s no slippage, even when we’re working in mud or on wet grass.” Koskela concedes there is slippage when operating on concrete or asphalt, in which case there are rubber pads that bolt to the steel tracks. With such a wide selection of rubber tracks available, why did Koskela opt for a steel track system? “For one thing, steel tracks grab the ground better than rubber tracks. They have a better load bearing capacity and they last longer than rubber tracks.” The Track-Pack is exclusively a PacBag product from the undercarriage upward, but the undercarriage and hydrostatic drive are from a LinkBelt 130 excavator. Koskela said LinkBelt gets thousands of hours on its undercarriages before they need a rebuild. Drives on an excavator work much harder than they possibly could on a bagger. He said a bagger does a slow 500 feet at a time, then moves over a few feet and does another slow 500 feet in a straight line. It’s easy on the drive system. “We use the track drive and the brakes to get our pressure against the bag. The tracks are holding it from moving away from the bag until it gets the right amount of pack you want,” he said. “When it reaches the right amount, it gradually releases some of the pressure so the bagger moves forward. It never really comes to a complete stop. It’s a continuous slow movement so your silage compaction is uniform through the whole 500 feet.” Koskela said the Track-Pack will fill a 500-foot bag in about the same time

The Track-Pack is a new silage bagger that uses steel tracks with brakes and hydrostatic drive on the rotor to bag silage that is dense and uniform. Even in the wettest conditions, the brakes and steel tracks hold tight so the bagger can achieve maximum silage compaction.


PRODUCTION as any other bagger on the market. “It might be a little faster in some situations, but the main advantage is that you have better compaction and more uniform compaction.” He said compaction performance in silage baggers is judged in tons per foot. For example, a truck with 20,000 pounds dumps onto the feed table. The operator runs the load through the machine and into the bagger and then measures how many feet the machine has traveled. The silage is highly compact if the 10-ton load moves the machine only a small distance. It’s dense, which is a good thing. If the machine moves a long distance, it means the machine was not able to create a dense pack. The frame is narrower than other baggers to allow for closely laid bags. The tunnel has been designed to make it easier to hang the bag. The cab is mounted on the left side of the machine for a better view of the feed table. There are two computer screens in the cab along with two joysticks and two foot pedals. The Track-Pack has a transport axle with air ride suspension and semi trailer wheels and tires for highway transit and when moving from yard to yard. It’s jacked into transport position hydraulically. The other end of the machine is a fifth wheel hitch. Koskela said it’s fairly quick to tear down, move and set up again at another location. It hooks to any highway tractor so there’s no need for a lowboy trailer. The 12-foot Track-Pack carries a list price of $390,000. A 14-foot unit is available and a 10-foot is planned. The PacBag company is owned by Koskela’s family in Oregon and Bryan Arthur’s family in British Columbia, owners of Pacific Forage Bag Supply.

COOKING WITH PULSES | TOP RECIPES

Alberta culinary students get creative with pulses Mission imPulseible | Ingredients included chickpea, fababean flour BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

EDMONTON — Mallory Bowes and Elizabeth Dowdell tweaked their recipe 14 times before winning a student food product development competition with an instant angel food cake mix made with pulse flour. The culinary arts students from the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology won first prize in the Mission imPulseible contest for their glutenfree, nut-free, dairy-free instant cake mix. The competition encourages students to create food products using pulses. Bowes and Dowdell used chickpea and fababean flour to make their BELite cake mix. They said they wanted to go beyond the regular food made with pulses. Their first attempts to make cakes with pulse flour tasted and looked more like a pound cake. After each adjustment to the recipe, the cakes started to taste and look more like angel food. “We field tested it with our culinary lab instructors. They were very excited,” Dowdell said during their presentation to judges and audience members. “It’s light and fluffy and it doesn’t collapse.… Just add water and bake. Our target is busy moms and dads who don’t have time to bake.” Dowdell said her own busy mom used to bake her a boxed angel food cake for her birthday. Perry Michetti, associate dean at NAIT’s School of Hospitality and one of the judges, said the cake mix amazed him. As a former chef in a restaurant, an instant, just-addwater, gluten-free cake mix is something he would have kept on his restaurant pantry shelf. “That cake has such potential. It’s a healthy cake and you just add water,” said Michetti. “It’s a home run in my books as far as food serve and a home run as far as convenience.” This was the third year for the Mission imPulseible food competition in Alberta, and Michetti said he has seen an improvement in the kinds of food developed by the students.

PULSES Food processors have created a wide range of products featuring increasingly popular pulses. New product releases with pulse ingredients in North America: Canada U.S. N.America 2002 13 58 71 2003 14 89 103 2004 20 127 147 2005 23 106 129 2006 46 152 198 2007 42 136 178 2008 30 161 191 2009 37 149 186 2010 56 227 283 2011 67 186 253 2012 15 43 58 Source: Mintel GNPD 2012 | WP GRAPHIC

Of the eight products presented at the event, Michetti said five or six were “really close” to being marketable and two or three were shelf ready. “The quality of products overall this year is really great. I have been very impressed.” Second place went to three University of Alberta students who created Panda Pause, a wafer cookie bar made with white bean and pea flour. The creamy dulce de leche filling was made with red lentils and toasted

almonds and the bar was covered in chocolate. Third place went to two U of A students who created Pulsitto’s Traditional Tomato and Creamy Alfredo sauce made with pureed navy beans or lentils. Caryll Carruthers of Mountain Meadow Food Processing, which makes nut free peanut butter, said she has seen a real improvement in the quality and types of food created with pulses over the past three years. “It’s more innovative and a wider variety. I’m really impressed with several of the items. The quality has been improving every year,” said Carruthers. Wendy Benson, food and nutrition consultant with Alberta Pulse Growers, said this year’s competitors went beyond the basics to create practical food. It’s a reflection of what’s happening in the real world. The number of food products introduced in North America using pulse ingredients increased to 283 in 2010 from 71 in 2002. Fifty-eight new products were released in the first two months of this year. “There are so many health benefits and upsides to using pulses,” said Benson. She said more students, chefs and industry officials become more aware of the benefits of pulses in food with each competition. “The ultimate aim is to bring more products to market.”

droplet range of 200-550 microns, the Air Bubble Jet has 90% less drift than standard nozzles. Run off occurs with big droplets - 600 microns and over. Depending on the manufacturer, other low drift nozzles produce droplets that range in size from 250-1000 microns. That is why run off can be a problem. With a droplet size of 200-550 microns, your chemical stays on the plant when applied with the Air Bubble Jet. New Twin Air Bubble Jet. With the twin cap, you can use 2-5 gallon nozzles rather than 1-10 gallon nozzles. The advantage is you get over twice as many droplets per square inch for superior coverage. Air Bubble jet nozzles operate at 30-45 psi and have an overall range of 20-90 psi. They can be used to apply fungicides, insecticides and herbicides to any crop including potatoes and pulse crops.

Know your rates with the new

Wireless ART

Air Seeder Rate and Blockage Monitor

A

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

Use your Google ® Android ® Phone to keep track of our air seeder operation with an ‘App’. (Windows Phone, Apple and Blackberry ‘App’s are in development) No wires to the cab means quicker startups, and no worries about towing the seeder with the monitor harness! The WIRELESS ART works with today’s large single Shoot and Double Shoot seeding systems. Up to 240 runs can be monitored on double shoot systems (separate seed and fertilizer runs). Use the WIRELESS ART to confirm your calibration for seed and fertilizer rates using the Seed Rate Wizard. Seeds per acre (or pounds per acre) and Fertilizer pounds per acre are displayed.

Letter of Appreciation We appreciate the convenience of the process and transaction dealing with Doug Rue, of Freshwater Land Holdings Co. Ltd., November 2011. We sold land shared by my sister, and Aunt. Being that we were selling from 3 different locations, it didn’t slow up the process any. The sale was made without one in-person meeting. We are a rural farming family, who sold land conveniently, with shared owners, all by emails and minimal travel to town, only to obtain witness signatures. We feel really good about the process, the sale and our straight-forward business interaction with Doug. Overall, it was a positive experience. Thank you, Marlo & Lee Marelli

IS IT SPRING ALREADY?

Seeding too early won’t help yields Study done on corn crops in United States CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — Planting corn in the middle of April, which is the norm, is beneficial to yields, while planting earlier than that generally results in a “flat yield response,” say agronomists at the University of Illinois at Champaign. The hottest start to March since records began in 1871, with recordhigh temperatures for a week straight in Chicago, has had some U.S. Midwest farmers planting corn earlier than ever. Even if the corn is not killed by frost, the benefits of planting early are likely to be minimal, the agronomists said in a report March 23. In typical years, corn planted early in April can sit in cool soil before germinating, or the plant’s emergence can slow should April turn cold. The farmers risk losing their crops to frost, and most insurance companies will not cover replanting costs until after the earliest planting date, which is April 11 in Iowa and April 6 in most of Illinois. However, yields are likely to suffer if corn is planted late, with yields dropping precipitously for corn planted beyond mid-May, said Emerson Nafziger, extension agronomist at the University of Illinois. “Planting early to avoid planting late is one of the strategies,” Nafziger said. In central Iowa, corn planted between April 15 and May 18 had a 95 to 100 percent chance of achieving maximum yield potential while corn planted in a slightly narrower window, between April 15 and May 9, had a 98 to 100 percent chance of achieving the best yield, according to Iowa State University. The average U.S. corn yield was 147.2 bushels per acre in 2011, down 5.6 bu. per acre from the previous year and off the record yield of 164.7 bu. in 2009, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

SEEDING PLANS | NORTH DAKOTA

Wheat bright in N.D.; durum gloomy Canola, wheat acres expected to soar | More lucrative crops to keep durum in the dumps BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Canola and spring wheat acres are expected to rebound in North Dakota this year following a soggy 2011. However, durum will struggle to regain acres this year because growers are leaning toward other crops, says a North Dakota Wheat Commission representative. “A lot of guys are not overly excited about durum,” said Erica Olson, marketing specialist with the commission. Price is the culprit. New crop durum contracts are fetching around $7.50 per bushel in the state, making it difficult to compete against more lucrative crops, such as corn and soybeans.

“But it’s not just those two crops, it’s everything. Canola, sunflowers, barley, everything is very competitive this year,” Olson said. Consequently, durum will be well below 1. 6 million acres, the five-year average for the state, she added. St ate w i d e d u r u m a c re s w e re 800,000 last year, the lowest in more that 50 years, because of extensive spring flooding in the northwest and other regions of North Dakota. Overland and river flooding drowned six million of acres of cropland in North Dakota in 2011. Olson expects durum will rebound from last year ’s low, but it may bounce more like a rock than a rubber ball. “We are going to see an increase, she said. “It might be tough for us to

get back to that average level.” Olson is feeling more hopeful about spring wheat, possibly because new crop spring wheat futures on the Minneapolis Grain Exchange were trading close to $8 a bu. March 23. Last year, North Dakota farmers harvested 5.7 million acres of spring wheat. An early spring should spur a return to the state’s five-year average of 6.5 million acres, she said. Unseasonably warm weather this winter and spring have already allowed a few farmers to plant wheat. The opportunity to seed earlier than usual might encourage North Dakota producers to plant wheat in April, Olson said. Canola acres are also expected to rebound this year. Barry Coleman, Northern Canola

Growers executive director, predicted the crop would easily exceed North Dakota’s five-year average of one million acres. “Right now, if I we’re betting, I’d say right around that 1.2 to 1.25 million range,” he said. Coleman said the abundance of unplanted fields should give canola a boost because producers will want to inject canola back into their rotation. The winter of 2011-12 may have been brief and dry across North Dakota, but he said few producers are worried about soil moisture because subsoil moisture is plentiful thanks to last year’s flooding. The U.S. Department of Agriculture will release its acreage estimates March 30.

FARM PLANNING | SUCCESSION

Determining how family feels about farm transfer no easy task BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A strong farm succession plan begins with a discussion about feelings rather than numbers, says a family business consultant. “That’s not where you start,” said John Fast, who spoke at a recent Farm Credit Canada forum in Saskatoon. “Not if you plan to have a happy family left at the end of the day.” Taxes, accounting and shareholder agreements are certainly part of the package, but that’s actually “the easy stuff,” he said. It’s more difficult for families to

have open and frank conversations about their expectations, needs and desires, he added. “At the end of the day, the success of your family farm, if you truly want to manage it into an intergenerational transfer, will be less about the facts, the numbers, the acreage,” said Fast, who is president of Family Enterprise Solutions and a motivational speaker to business owners. “It will be all about the feelings.” In his 15 years as a consultant, he has found that only a minority of the families and business owners he has spoken to have a succession plan in place. He called it a grim situation, particu-

JOHN FAST BUSINESS CONSULTANT

larly since the large baby boomer population is nearing retirement age. Agribusinesses aren’t immune. FCC’s data agrees. The organization says that $50 billion in farm capital will have changed hands between

2003 and 2013. Fast said difficult questions must be confronted to create harmony in the family and help buck the trend of businesses failing in successive generations. He said succession plans fail because family members muddle interests related to family, business and ownership. “Those are three very different bottom lines,” he said, noting that a good business decision may conflict with the interests of a parent. He said families need to be honest about whether they’re ready to pass over control and if the younger gen-

eration is capable and even interested in receiving that responsibility. “The definition of becoming an adult really is to establish some psychological distance (from) your family of origin,” he said. Families need to reach agreements not between parents and children but between partners. A successful conversation may find that succession isn’t an option. “Ultimately, succession is all about you doing business. Do you do business deals with children?” he said. “You start with your next generation, you parent them … but finally you really want to be a business partner.”

CANOLA COUNCIL OF CANADA | BIOTECHNOLOGY

Canola research dollars can only grow Big money for biotechnology | Company officials say investments expand alongside acreage BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Biotechnology is going to keep driving canola forward, say biotech company leaders, who argue that even more investment will be coming now that farmers are likely to plant 20 million acres a year. “With the size of the crop now, we really can warrant the scale of research and development that a lot of the companies are making investments around,” said Dave Dzisiak of Dow AgroSciences. “If the crop would have been five or ten million acres, you wouldn’t be seeing this kind of science being applied into it.” Mark Kidnie of Monsanto agreed. “When we built and made a lot of

investments in canola … it was a 13 million acre business,” said Kidnie, who was part of a panel along with Dzisiak and Lloyd McCall of Bayer CropScience at the Canola Council of Canada’s annual convention in Washington. “As it’s 19 million today and may grow, that gets the attention of companies such as Bayer, Dow and Monsanto in terms of the opportunity to invest in that crop when it gets bigger.” Kidnie said canola is getting higher annual yield increases from “genetic gain” than either corn or soybeans because those crops were earlier beneficiaries of major investment. Now canola is catching up and surpassing the 1.5 percent annual gains seen in the other crops. McCall said rapid development of

DAVE DZISIAK DOW AGROSCIENCES

biotech methods has radically cut the price of analysis and variety development, so much more is possible much faster than just 10 years ago. As well, the fruits of earlier research are beginning to come to market. McCall’s company’s canola with traits that reduce seed pod shattering are close to being released to farmers. “Today we don’t have this in the marketplace, but it’s in advanced stages of testing and we’re evaluating

it very thoroughly,” said McCall. Most of Bayer’s biotech developments for canola are aimed at yield improvement, which is a focus shared by the other companies. Kidnie said Monsanto is working to stack herbicide tolerance genes and that those kinds of crops will become more common. A dicamba tolerant type of canola should become available in 2020-22. However, a newer generation of Roundup Ready canola will be released in the next few years with additional traits stacked atop the herbicide resistance, he said. The updated glyphosate resistance will allow higher rates of application and longer periods of application. Kidnie said traits that allow canola to handle drought and use water better, contain inherent high-yielding

genetics and have other agronomically strong characteristics should help Monsanto hit a goal of doubling canola yields by 2030. Dow is looking forward to commercializing specialty canola with improved and novel fatty acids in coming years. Dzisiak said canola has long benefited from its “healthy oil” qualities, but with soybeans and other crops being improved to carry some of those same qualities, canola development needs to push the healthy content further. “We need to keep the innovation in canola moving forward to be able to maintain our advantage,” he said. “We still don’t have the scale and size that a crop like soybeans does, and so we need to keep this investment moving forward.”

OPINION | MARKETS

Mixed messages from analysts can put farmers at risk HEDGE ROW

ED WHITE

H

ow do you handle opposite takes on where a market is going to go? Here’s a quote that should be kept in the front of every hedger’s mind: “The test of a first rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time and still be able to function.” That’s from William Falconer, an 18th century Scottish poet. If you’re hedging crops or livestock, you need to keep apprised of the

markets and listen to market outlooks from a variety of sources. You will almost always encounter opposing outlooks, to which there are two responses: go with one and ignore the other, or keep both in mind and hedge. Here’s an example that could cost you money in the next year: currency exchange rates. Where will the loonie go compared to the U.S. greenback? Not only do market commentators have opposite views on that question, but many farmers will be more exposed than ever to foreign exchange risk. First to the additional risk: many farmers will be tempted to use Minneapolis Grain Exchange hard red spring wheat futures contracts to hedge their wheat this spring and summer. Grain company contracts are sparse and risky right before the crop is in the bin and the grade and quality are known. Futures offer a

way to lock in a general wheat complex price, leaving just basis exposure to grade and location. But there is also foreign exchange risk, because the MGEX contracts are priced in Yankee bucks, not Canadian dollars. Thousands of farmers have for years hedged canola prices using Winnipeg futures priced in Canadian dollars. Hedging wheat with MGEX futures brings foreign exchange risk. Now to the polarity of currency market outlooks. Market outlooks are always divergent: sometimes it’s by a few degrees and only occasionally by huge amounts. There are currently two extremes of market opinion about what will happen to the U.S. economy, and they’re not restricted to the fringes of analyst opinion. Many analysts hold middleof-the-road views, but that’s not remarkable. What’s interesting is that radical opinions are held by many

non-radical analysts. O ne group, the inflationists, believes the oceans of debt-based money that the U.S. government is creating to stimulate the economy will create hyperinflation and that the value of the U.S. dollar will collapse. The recent signs of growth and recovery in the U.S. economy encourage this belief. Inflationists also expect European governments to find tricky ways to eliminate their debt that will also have currencydegrading effects. On the opposite side of the debate are the deflationists, who believe the world’s critical economic and financial problems have been suspended only temporarily and will soon return in full force. There are early signs of a hard landing in China, the United States is still shackled to a mountain of debt and Europe is staggering under the weight of government debt and near-depression in

Mediterranean nations. As a result, the value of assets will likely fall and the value of money rise. As well, the U.S. dollar could surge again if there is another “flight to quality,” as it does everytime the world gets worried. So inflationists fear a rapidly rising loonie (at least compared to the greenback) and deflationists fear a rapidly falling loonie. How do you hedge for both? Well, you hedge. If you lock in a crop price, and lock out currency volatility, you’re hedged on most of your exposure. That’s what many advisers always suggest. But now is a time when it’s more important than ever to consider locking out that currency risk. If you lock out the risk, you don’t need to worry about contradictory outlooks, even if you can function with them both in mind at the same time.

INDIA | INDUSTRY

Farming blamed for Punjab’s business woes Call for political action | Indian economy surges ahead in recent years while Punjab lags behind LUDHIANA, India (Reuters) — Punjab made Sunil Jain’s family rich, but now he wishes he could afford to leave. Almost every day, the lights go out and machines shut down at the two factories of his $3 million a year packaging business in the northern India state. When the power goes out, the plants have to use generators, at up to three times the cost. Profits at Oswal Polypack shrink every year, says Jain, a 49-year-old with a penchant for fat gold jewelry and chewing tobacco. The state government seems not to care and has even raised taxes on the raw materials he needs. “How can we survive?” Jain said from his factory office in an industrial park in the city of Ludhiana, whose roads are dotted with potholes. “How can industry remain here, when there is no power, when you face labour shortages?” he said. “The government has been promising power for the past five years, but what we have got instead is power cuts of up to 12 hours a day.” While much of India has galloped ahead in recent years on the back of a reform drive that began two decades ago, Punjab has been left straggling behind. The Congress party, which leads the federal government, leapt on that lag to woo Punjab’s voters for a return to power in the state of 27 million people. Jain said firms like his are moving to neighbouring states where land is cheaper and labour more readily available. Another gripe is that states such as Himachal Pradesh next door have been granted long tax holidays as part of a federal assistance program, putting Punjabi firms at a disadvantage. Punjab was a rare Indian success story in the 1960s and 1970s. A star of former prime minister Indira Gandhi’s Green Revolution, Punjab drove growth at a time when India was throttled by the “Licence Raj,” an all-pervading system of permits and quotas. However, Punjab was unable to capitalize after reforms in 1991 unleashed a boom in Asia’s thirdlargest economy. Its economy grew at an average annual rate of 6.6 percent over the past decade against a national average of about eight percent. High-flyers such as Gujarat and Maharashtra grew at about 10 percent. The state government’s focus on farming may have earned Punjab the label the “bread basket of India,” but it has stifled the growth of manufacturing industries that the state needs to catch up with the strongest performers. Farmers sitting on some of India’s most fertile land are reluctant to sell their fields to make way for industry, and politicians are wary of upsetting the state’s most powerful vote bank. Slowing growth, a ballooning subsidy bill for power and food staples, and ineffective tax collection have plunged Punjab into debt, forcing the government to sell off state property. “The crisis in Punjab is very deep,” said Sanjay Sharma, the regional

Men work inside a steel factory at Ludhiana in the Indian state of Punjab. While much of India has prospered in recent years from a reform drive that began two decades ago, Punjab, with a population of 27 million people, has been left behind. | REUTERS/AJAY VERMA PHOTO bureau chief for the Times of India newspaper. Since the early 1990s, successive state governments had failed to grasp the importance of industrialization, he said. “Somehow there was an impression with the rulers here that Punjab is a surplus agriculture state, and that it can survive on this model. They didn’t try new things.” Punjab offers a snapshot of the ills that are putting the brakes on India’s economic expansion, from chronic power shortages to tussles between industry and farmers over land and policy decisions held hostage by political compulsions. After two decades of rapid economic growth, India has struggled to develop a manufacturing base to match its world-renowned information technology and services companies. Tucked on India’s northwestern border with Pakistan, hundreds of kilometres from a port, Punjab has been especially poor at attracting bigticket foreign direct investment (FDI). “This is one region that has been just bypassed by FDI,” said Sucha Singh Gill, head of the Centre for Research in Rural and Industrial Development in the state capital of Chandigarh. Punjab used to enjoy the highest per capita income in the country but has since slipped to eighth place. Many trace the origins of that decline to the Sikh separatist militancy that killed thousands of people in the 1980s, including Gandhi, who was assassinated by two Sikh bodyguards in 1984. Gill said Punjab’s government,

I 100 percent agree that there has been a flight of industry from the state, and we are facing a very severe situation at present. HARCHARAN BAINS SHIROMANI AKALI DAL PARTY

grappling with the threat of bomb blasts and massacres, diverted investment from new infrastructure, schools and research and development to beefing up its security. Growing backlash Companies such as SEL Manufacturing Co. Ltd., a textile exporter of the sort that once propelled Punjab’s boom, are investing elsewhere. It is setting up a $385 million plant in the central state of Madhya Pradesh, where land costs a tenth of the price, said chief executive officer V.K. Goyal. “I 100 percent agree that there has been a flight of industry from the state, and we are facing a very severe situation at present,” said Harcharan Bains, a spokesperson for the state’s ruling party, the Shiromani Akali Dal. “But the reason why they have left is that states neighbouring to us have been given concessions by the government of India,” he said. “We are asking the central government to stop this or give the same incentives to our state.”

It is rally day in Moga. Thousands of farmers wearing Sikh turbans of various hues have gathered to see Sonia Gandhi, the Congress party leader and India’s most powerful politician, but fog has delayed “madam” at a nearby airport. Braving the January chill and drizzle, Amarinder Singh, the party’s candidate for chief minister, tries to excite the crowd, helped by a folk crooner singing lyrics such as “there is no power supply, but people face a lot of corruption.” The crowd’s clapping and sloganchanting is sporadic. Talk of free hospitals and tackling police graft gets the biggest cheers, but Singh’s assertion that 900 industries have left Punjab on the incumbent government’s watch is heard in silence. Reforming Punjab has always been a tough sell. Manpreet Singh Badal, the nephew of the state’s octogenarian chief minister, resigned as finance minister last year in a row over slashing subsidies and cutting the state’s debt. Moga is a farming town where food giant Nestle India Ltd. set up a dairy plant in the early 1960s that became a poster child for India’s agricultural leap. But now, even Punjab’s farming sector is struggling. Cheap power for wells is sucking the state’s water table dry, while crops are drenched in pesticides that are widely blamed for a spike in cancer cases in the region. The state has a peak-hour power shortage of nearly 30 percent, but ending a policy of free power to farmers could spell disaster for any political party that tries it.

“You need a lot of guts to pull Punjab out of the crisis,” said Sharma. Even a reform that seemed tailormade for an agrarian state — allowing foreign retailers such as Wal-Mart Stores Inc. to set up shop in India — was hijacked by politics. Supporters championed the plan because it would cut out middlemen and give farmers better prices as well as draw foreign investment in storage chains. But the state government, although initially supporting prime minister Manmohan Singh’s policy when it was cleared in late November, distanced itself from the reform when it triggered protests from small-time retailers. Optimists say life in the state might soon improve. Major power projects are under development and, if the government meets its aim, will make Punjab a power-surplus state by 2013. Punjab could also be the chief beneficiary of a thaw in relations between India and Pakistan, which could unleash a trade boom between the traditional foes. Only a trickle of goods is allowed to cross one of the world’s most heavily militarized borders, largely closing Punjab and India to a potential 180 million Pakistani customers. But that may change if Islamabad c ha n g e s i t s t ra d e p o l i c y , f i r s t announced in November, to allow thousands more goods to be traded by naming India a Most Favoured Nation. “If Pakistan gives us MFN status ... this region will experience explosive growth,” said Gill.

Fungicide use increasing on Prairies Positive results for producers | Many things to consider before making second application BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Western Canadian producers are warming up to fungicides as the number of sprayed acres steadily increases since 2006. “I think it comes down to the fact that the growers are seeing a value in fungicide application on a more regular basis,” said Glen Forster, technical development specialist with BASF. Forster told the Soils and Crops presentations hosted by the University of Saskatchewan March 13-14 that he has studied field trials over the past 10 years and found consistent year-to-year trends that occur from fungicide application. For example, studies of Headline applications on field peas since 2003 found an 11 percent increase in yields compared to untreated fields. It comes down to the return

on investment. Fungicides that reduce fusarium head blight increased grain quality, while lentil studies revealed a six percent increase in seed size in 2008 trials sites, which increased marketability. Improved harvestability was seen in areas with higher disease pressure. Forster said pulse growers have said that harvesting the crop is a little easier before it lodges. Flax crops in 2010 under high disease pressure and moisture also produced less lodging as compared to untreated sites during a windstorm. He said it ultimately comes down to an increase in overall commodity prices. “You don’t need as many bushels in the hopper in order to pay for that fungicide application, as well as the improved quality that you may have seen,” he said.

... it does come down to that return on investment. GLEN FORSTER TECHNICAL DEVELOPMENT SPECIALIST

“So if one application is good, what about two? Yes, a second application has an impact, but more importantly when we’re making recommendations and when our reps are making recommendations out in the field, it’s got to be both profitable for the grower as well as sustainable and that’s the main thing that we want to look at.” Forster said the first application is the most important, and farmers need to consider seven factors before making the second applica-

tion: history of disease in the field, tightened rotation, planting a more susceptible cultivar, wet conditions seven to 10 days after the first application, slight hail damage causing infection points for disease, high commodity prices and a field used for seed production. “But really, ultimately it comes down to, a grower, when they’re making a decision, it does come down to that return on investment. So if it pays and you have to pay on a two-toone return on investment for that application, it does provide a chance for a second application to go down,” he said. “Ultimately, guidelines should be followed and to make sure to look at it from a whole crop approach and n o t u t i l i z e d i n i s o l at i o n . T h i s shouldn’t be used to go back to back on a crop, but be able to utilize within a sustainable management system.”

EDMONTON —Twelve young Alberta farmers have been appointed to a special advisory group. The Next Generation Advisory Council is expected to build alliances between government, industry and the next generation of agricultural leaders. Agriculture minister Evan Berger said the advisory group’s job is to bring back enthusiasm to agriculture and encourage more young people to return to farms and rural areas. “You are the ones who are going to effect a lot of these changes that we see taking place,” he said during an Alberta Livestock and Meat Agency board meeting in Edmonton. The new council will be jointly chaired by assistant agriculture deputy minister Jamie Curran and Carla Amonson, manager of the WestCentral Forage Association and owner of Rhyant Rock Farms, which produces Soay sheep near Evansburg. Other council members are: • Nathan Ryan of Water Valley, who operates Fallentimber Meadery with his family • Brad Rabiey of Peace River, who manages Think Local Market, an online store that sells northwestern Alberta products locally and worldwide • Ashley Rietveld of Tofield, a farmer and vice-chair of the Alberta Hatching Egg Producers • Mike Kozlowski of Red Deer, who owns Steel Pony Farm, a community shared agriculture program • Lee Markert of Vulcan, a partner in the family business, Markert Seeds, and a director with the Alberta Canola Producers Commission • Darren Klemen of Taber, a specialty crop producer and director of Alberta Sugar Beet Growers • Carlene Van Brabent of Edmonton, who owns Verdue Media and Communications and is development director at Green Hectares, an agricultural training centre • Chelsea Geiger of Westlock, an animal science and range management student at the University of Alberta • Carolyne McIntyre Jackson of High River, co-founder of Crave Cookies and Cupcakes with stores in Calgary, Edmonton and Saskatoon • Stephanie Ruddock of Priddis, programs co-ordinator for the Community Pollinator Foundation, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the conservation of native pollinators • Mike Paterson of Viking, who works in the animal health industry

MEXICO | DROUGHT

Dry weather causes crop losses, herd setbacks Conditions worsen | Aid workers helping with water shortages in remote areas, residents fleeing to cities to escape poverty CHIHUAHUA, Mexico (Reuters) — A severe drought in Mexico is just a foretaste of the drier future facing Latin America’s second largest economy. The drought has cost farmers more than $1 billion in crop losses and set back the national cattle herd for years. As crops wither in the fields and water tankers race across northern Mexico to reach far-flung towns, the government has allotted $2.65 billion in emergency aid to confront the worst drought ever recorded in the country. The water shortage wiped out millions of acres of farmland this winter, caused $1.18 billion in lost harvests, killed 60,000 head of cattle and weakened two million more livestock, pushing food prices higher in Mexico. The overall cost to the economy is still being gauged, but Mexico’s drought-stung winter has been evolving for years and is expected to worsen as the effect of global climate change takes hold, according to the government. “Droughts are cyclical, we know that, but they are growing more frequent and severe due to climate change,” said Elvira Quesada, environment and natural resources minister. Mexico’s AMSDA agricultural association says poor weather destroyed 7.5 million acres of cultivable land in 2011, an area about the size of Belgium. The federal agriculture ministry puts the figure at about half that. The crop failure helped push Mexico’s food imports up 35 percent

last year, a trend likely to persist through the 2012-13 crop cycle. “There was talk of drought when I got here 16 years ago,” said Ignacio Becerra, a priest working in the rugged town of Carichi in Chihuahua state, which has suffered massive water shortages. “This year, not even corn or beans came up. Watering holes that never ran dry are empty. Without rain, this situation is going to get even more serious.” Zacatecas state, the country’s main bean producer, harvested only a quarter of the usual crop after months without rain. The water shortage has forced Mexican farmers to cut back cattle herds as pasture lands dry out. It has also increased the risk of wildfires, which ravaged northern Mexico and the southern United States last spring. Tough times ahead Mexican president Felipe Calderon, an outspoken advocate for mitigating and adapting to climate change, has ordered his government to start getting ready for tougher times. Experts believe Mexico will have to spend billions of dollars in the next two decades to maintain the water supply for irrigation and drinking water. Water authority Conagua said it must invest $23.68 billion by 2030 to safeguard and modernize infrastructure by sealing leaky pipes, expanding reservoirs and even recycling household waste water. As policy-makers plot their

And the worst is yet to come: April, May, June, July are the driest, hottest months … which will make the situation more serious and complex. IGNACIO BECERRA MEXICAN PRIEST

response to climate change, Mexicans must simply come to grip with years of little rain and higher food bills for staples such as beef. Darrell Hargrove, owner of the farming and trucking firm Southwest Livestock in Del Rio, Texas, said the price of Mexican cattle for export to the United States had jumped by one-third over the last month and a half. Rising U.S. demand and shrinking herds in Mexico and north of the border raised the basic price for a 300 pound animal to $2 per lb. from $1.50 since February, he said. “We have the lowest cattle herd count here that we’ve had since about 1950,” Hargrove said. Total livestock prices in Mexico were up by 12.5 percent on the year in February, official data shows. Cattle ranchers in Chihuahua are watching their herds wither from malnutrition and say sick cows will have trouble reproducing. It could take them a decade to recover from the losses. The human cost has also been harsh.

The government said it provided food rations to more than two million people, though AMSDA said eight million people had been affected by the lack of water. More than 400,000 residents in the six driest states were without water at the end of December, Conagua said, with reservoirs in two states half empty and another two less than a quarter full. The indigenous Tarahumara people of northern Mexico suffered particularly hard, with tens of thousands of poor families hit. The government says it delivered millions of litres of milk and tonnes of food, but the situation is acute. “This year the Tarahumaras have not been able to harvest corn or beans, which is the basis of their livelihood,” said Becerra. “And the worst is yet to come: April, May, June, July are the driest, hottest months ... which will make the situation much more serious and complex.” Deforestation worsened conditions for indigenous people around the Copper Canyon in Chihuahua and many have left for cities to escape poverty and hunger. “We’re at the point of no return, he said. “The northern part of the country is drying out. If the rains don’t come, the situation is going to be worse than serious. It will be a disaster.” While rain-starved communities pray for a downpour that would replenish wells and reservoirs, experts say the northern half of Mexico is in a persistent dry cycle. “The current drought was

probably unfolding 20 years ago,” said Fernando Miralles-Wilhelm, a hydrologist with the Inter-American Development Bank (IADB). “These dynamics are going to continue for the next few decades.” The IADB, which works in Latin America and the Caribbean, promises that $1 out of every $4 it lends over the next three years will go to conservation as well as adapting and mitigating climate change. The bank lent nearly $11 billion last year. A fleet of several thousand trailers is making round-the-clock trips in a race to get clean water to remote communities, but it may not be enough if the drought wears on. Summer rain typically breaks the winter dry spell, but Conagua expects March rainfall to be half of normal years, and it does not see a break to the crisis before July.

MEDICINE HAT BULL SALE | ANGUS GRAND CHAMPION

Scheirlinck a buyer and seller at sale Strong prices for breeders | Alberta rancher shows grand champion Angus, then buys reserve grand Angus BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

M E D I C I N E H AT, A l t a . — B J Scheirlinck bought his first registered Angus cow in 1995 when he was 16 years old. These days, he and his wife, Jody, are marketing purebred Angus cattle around the world from their Del Bonita ranch in southern Alberta. At this year’s Medicine Hat Bull Sale, BJ Cattle Co. showed the grand champion Angus and sold it for $5,500 to Caven Ranch of Medicine Hat. Scheirlinck then bought the reserve grand Angus from Kody Traxel of Seven Persons, Alta. The selling price was $6,250. “It was a good calf that we could use in our program,” he said during the sale. It was a good day for the family because the other exhibitors voted theirs the best Angus string in the show barn. “It’s a compliment,” he said. The family has become trade oriented, selling semen and embryos to the United Kingdom, Denmark and the United States.

Visitors come to the ranch every year for the scenery, the history and the cattle. Jody Scheirlinck is the daughter of James Newton, whose 100-year-old Hereford ranch adjoins

their property. Newton won the reserve Hereford, which sold for $6,750 to Braun Herefords of Simmie, Sask. The 54th Medicine Hat bull sale

was a good showcase for southeastern Alberta cattle breeders. Prices reflected this spring’s cattle sales with strong averages and plenty of bidders.

The high selling bull of the day came from Lilybrook Herefords of Claresholm, Alta. It sold for $14,000 to Merle Wyatt of Arrowwood, Alta. “Every bull sale I’ve been to has been really strong this year,” said Glenn Brost, president of the Southeastern Alberta Purebred Beef Breeders Association. The family has been attending the event since 1963 and won numerous championships. His family showed the grand champion Hereford bull and sold it to Brad Dallas of Bowden, Alta. He bought this 2010 bull for $8,100. The sale used to be restricted to entrants from southeastern Alberta, but in recent years it has opened up to breeders from all over the province. Brost said the stock gets better every year, making it a good event at which to be seen. “A lot of the faults are gone,” he said. The March 14 sale featured 106 Angus and Hereford bulls. The sale total was $516,700 and averaged $4,875, up $500 from last year. The 73 Hereford bulls averaged $5,135 and the 33 Angus bulls averaged $4,552.

DAIRY | SURVEILLANCE

Alberta groups keep eye on Johne’s disease Prevention program | Alberta Milk wants producers to participate BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

RED DEER — About a quarter of Alberta dairy herds that were tested for Johne’s disease have the infection. “Very likely half the herds in Western Canada have infection,” said Herman Barkema of the University of Calgary’s veterinary school. Johne’s is an infectious, chronic inflammation of the gut caused by mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP). It is a major health concern for all domestic and wild ruminants. “Every country that has dairy or beef cattle has Johne’s disease or has seen it,” Barkema said at the recent Western Dairy Seminar in Red Deer. Alberta Milk introduced a voluntary surveillance and prevention program in 2010, which 40 percent of the province’s dairy herds have joined. Preliminary results after one year found that about a quarter of the 219 herds involved in the program had a positive sample, which Barkema said is considered a low infection rate. All the provinces but Saskatchewan have introduced similar programs in the last couple years. The University of Calgary co-ordinates the program, working with

breed associations and veterinary schools. About half the program funding came from the Alberta Livestock and Meat Agency. Alberta Milk wants 80 percent enrolment by the end of this year, which it said would make it an effective program. “If you want to control an infectious disease like this one, we want a really high participation rate,” Barkema said. Herd veterinarians do the risk assessments and farmers are asked to select three improvements they can make on the farm. Random manure samples are collected from the barn alleys and lagoons. The project could eventually have a PCR test using DNA to check for the bacteria in bulk milk. The disease is usually spread through manure from infected animals. It has been found in many herds where pooled colostrum was fed to calves. It was also more common when farms allowed unrestricted visitors to the barns or introduced new animals with unknown health status. Spreading manure on pastures where heifers grazed is another risk. Barkema said it is a good idea to start testing calves when they are as young as 14 days because they can start shedding the bacteria within a couple months.

The disease acts slowly so poorer performing cows are often culled before they show symptoms. The disease is ranked as a high level if one cow is diagnosed every one or two years on a farm. A moderate infection is one cow detected every four years and one positive cow every 10 years is considered a low rate of infection. The U.S. Department of Agriculture calculated that nearly 70 percent of American farms were positive based on manure samples. The larger the farm, the greater the chance of finding the infection, partly because operations with more than 500 cows tend to introduce new stock that could be carrying the disease. The presence of the MAP bacteria is also associated with Crohn’s disease in humans, but researchers do not know if they are correlated. “The relationship between Johne’s disease and Crohn’s is not proven and if we are finding this bacteria, it doesn’t mean it causes the disease,” Barkema said. “It could mean the gut of these people is so wrecked that every bacteria that you can think of easily colonizes.” Alberta has about 15,000 Crohn’s patients with 800 to 900 new cases showing up each year. The incidence has been increasing since 1930.

A positive sample of Johne’s disease was found in approximately one quarter of participating Alberta dairy herds. | FILE PHOTO A normal colon is smooth inside, but with Crohn’s disease, the interior is ulcerated. The disease causes pain, dizziness, vomiting, urgent diarrhea and weight loss. It most often affects those in the 15- to 25-year-old age group. It’s not known if consuming dairy products spreads the disease, but Barkema thinks it is unlikely. “Milk is a safe product. We need to

guard it,” he said. “Milk is not the most likely vehicle.” He thinks there could be a connection with farm run-off water flowing into drinking water. Chlorination does not seem to work against MAP. However, there is no firm proof that water is the cause. Sick people may have instead been infected with E. coli bacteria, which also comes from manure.

SPRING | FOOT ROT

Snow melt, damp conditions increase cattle’s risk of disease ANIMAL HEALTH

JOHN CAMPBELL, DVM, DVSC

The first signs of bacterial infection between claws, hoof is rapid lameness

W

e often see a rise in the number of cattle treated for foot rot as spring breakup

occurs and snow melts. The disease is most often seen in cattle when they are housed in poorly drained or muddy corrals and pastures. Foot rot is a bacterial infection of the skin between the claws of the hoof. Healthy skin is resistant to bacterial infections, but wet conditions, along with exposure to manure, urine and mud, can soften the skin and make it susceptible to injury and subsequent bacterial infection. An injury caused by stones, ice, frozen manure, wood and stubble can often create a wound in the softened skin that allows bacteria to gain entry to the soft tissue between the hoofs. The first sign of foot rot is the rapid

onset of lameness that increases in severity as the disease progresses. It is important to recognize that there are many causes of lameness in cattle, and many times we tend to jump to the conclusion that every lame cow has foot rot. Signs and symptoms Here are some clues that may help diagnose foot rot more accurately: • The bacteria cause inflammation and swelling as they become established in the tissue between the claws. This swelling is usually evident between the claws and uniformly around the top of the hoof. The characteristic swelling is usu-

ally symmetrical around the entire hoof and it may cause the claws to separate. • The skin between the claws can split in severe cases, and foul smelling debris may be evident. • The active bacterial infection causes elevated temperatures. • Typically only one limb is affected, most commonly in the hind feet. • The lameness is often dramatic and cattle will be reluctant to move. Animals tend to stand and walk on their toes as much as possible. A careful examination of the affected hoof will help distinguish foot rot from other causes of lameness. It is easily treated if identified early. Prompt diagnosis and treatment

with systemic antibiotics such as long-acting tetracylines will usually be successful. Antibiotics such as ceftiofur may be used to minimize antibiotic withdrawal times in dairy cattle or if feedlot cattle are affected close to slaughter. If an animal does not respond to antibiotic therapy within two to three days, it may be a sign that the lameness is more complicated than ordinary foot rot. In these cases, it would be wise to consult a veterinarian to get an accurate diagnosis before proceeding with other treatments. The infection can sometimes extend up the soft tissues and into the joints of the foot. Antibiotic therapy is much less likely to be effective once the infection is established in the joints. Infections in the deeper structures of the foot can also occur as a complication of other causes of lameness such as a sole ulcer, a sole abscess, an infected sand crack or a foreign body such as a nail or other sharp object. Swelling around the top of the hoof is often more dramatic when the infection gets into the joint or the flexor tendons, and in many cases is more pronounced on one side of the foot. Pus can sometimes drain from an opening just above the hoof wall. These cases are often difficult to treat and in many circumstances are hopeless. A veterinarian can amputate a claw if joint infection is restricted to that area. Avoiding exposure to mud, urine and feces will help prevent foot rot, but this is difficult in many circumstances in Western Canada. Designing pens to be well drained and well bedded will help minimize foot rot. Having concrete pads a ro u n d f e e d b u n k s a n d w at e r troughs where cattle congregate will also help keep feet dry, as will filling in low areas or walkways that are used frequently. Regular foot trimming will help to prevent foot diseases and injuries in bulls and cows. Organic iodine fed in loose salt mixes may also help prevent some cases, although the evidence is not entirely clear cut. Zinc methionine supplementation in particular may help minimize foot rot. The disease can be especially devastating if it affects a bull during breeding season. Producers should consider vaccinating their breeding bulls.

ANIMAL DISEASE FORUM | CATTLE

Group in search of respiratory disease resistance Producers could save millions | U.S. researchers want to select cattle for more than just commercial traits BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — If cattle were resistant to diseases like bovine respiratory disease, it could save producers millions of dollars. Bovine respiratory disease is a complex condition seen in the form of shipping fever or pneumonia. Many different viral and bacterial pathogens are involved in causing disease and death in cattle between the ages of six weeks and two years. It costs the U.S. industry about $625 million in medications, poor performance and cattle deaths. BRD has been well documented for more than 100 years and yet it remains prevalent, said Alison Van Eenennaam of the University of California, Davis at the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association annual meeting in Nashville, Tenn., last month. “It has been extensively studied since the 1800s and we still have very high levels of mortality associated with this particular syndrome,� she said during an animal disease forum. She is part of a large national program to collect DNA samples from thousands of animals for several purposes, including finding genetic markers for BRD resistance. “Disease resistance is a very attractive target for this technology. There is genetic variation and there is also increased public concern about the use of antimicrobials in animal production,� she said. Her research team will test beef and dairy cattle for BRD. The first year of the study involves 70,000 dairy calves that will be checked for disease and genotyped. The second year will examine feedlot cattle in Texas. Genetic research has already found commercial traits like fertility, calving ease and growth, but there are few reliable tools to select for disease tolerance or resistance, said Mark Enns of Colorado State University. It is hard to make genetic improvements because not all sick animals are diagnosed accurately. “Not all sick animals are typically identified in a pen of feedlot calves and healthy animals may be incorrectly classed as sick and we treat them,� he said. When there is an outbreak, animals may be treated whether they need it or not. “If the animal looks at you funny, you are probably going to treat it as sick because you want to nip it in the bud,� he said. “That is an inherent problem when we try to identify disease and then select those that seem to be resistant.� Studies underway want to find those with a lower probability of getting sick when they are subjected to stress or high pathogen loads invading their bodies. Stress from transportation, weather extremes, dehydration, lack of feed or starting a new diet, processing, exposure to dust, crowding and commingling with other cattle are among the risk factors. Stress is anything that reduces the immune system response, said veterinarian Chris Chase of South Dakota State University. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

“Under the right set of conditions, we end up developing this very serious disease BRD,� he said. In most cases, it starts as a viral infection and then bacteria moves into the upper respiratory tract and causes pneumonia. “The immune system is affected a great deal by the brain. That is why temperament is such a big deal. If you have animals that have fear and flight, that has a big affect on the immune response,� he said. Stress hormones actually help the bacteria grow better, he said.

Good management starts by vaccinating the cow four to six weeks before calving so it can produce high quality colostrum containing high levels of maternal antibodies to fight disease. Good vaccines are available if administered at the right time but many contain protection against a number of infections and may not work as hoped. Vaccinating young calves still car-

rying maternal antibodies may also defeat the purpose. “I think we vaccinate calves too much and too soon,� he said. Vaccinating right after weaning may also inhibit the immune system because the animals are already stressed. It takes about two weeks for a vaccine to start building immunity so the booster should not be given for at least three weeks after the first immunization. He recommends intranasal vaccines for calves.

Automobile makers have touted their green credentials for the last few years, using words like “sustainability” in nearly every television ad and turning trademarks like EcoBoost into household names. Besides manufacturing more efficient engines, automakers are also greening their vehicles by using biomaterials for minor components, such as storage compartments made from wheat straw. However, a Calgary company and western Canadian research institutes are working on something slightly more ambitious — a car with a body made entirely from hemp, flax and other biofibres. Motive Industries, a vehicle design firm, is developing the Kestrel, a four passenger electric vehicle that is expected to weigh 850 kilograms, reach a top speed of 135 km-h and have a range of 160 kilometres. Using natural fibres for its body instead of steel or fibreglass reduces the Kestrel’s weight and improves its efficiency, said Nathan Armstrong, Motive Industries president. As well, using biomaterials helps support Canadian industry and suppliers, including hemp growers. “Response to this innovative vehicle design … has been phenomenal,” said Armstrong in a statement. “We get hundreds of calls from potential industry partners and media as far away as India.” The company is relying on Canadian biomaterial scientists to work out the technical details of building a car from hemp fibres. One of those experts is Simon Potter of the Composites Innovation Centre (CIC) in Winnipeg. Potter, who spoke March 22 at the Manitoba Rural Adaptation Council (MRAC) annual meeting in Portage la Prairie, Man., said CIC experts are developing formulations of biofibres and resins that will satisfy safety guidelines for automobiles. “We’re working together to test out the suitability of the (natural) materials for the particular components they have in mind. It looks very promising,” said Potter, who thanked MRAC for supporting CIC’s research on the Kestrel project. “If you do a search on biocomposites in the auto industry, you’ll see a lot out there. The difference is what we’re doing here, from the rest of the world, is the rest of the world is doing nonstructural (components)…. We’re actually targeting the structural components of the vehicle … the exterior.” Scientists at the CIC lab are testing the strength and flexibility of biocomposites to ensure that natural fibres like hemp are suitable for

the Kestrel’s exterior, including bumpers, roof and panels. One of the unique features of biocomposites is the material’s ability to retain its shape. Metal will bend or crumple when force is applied, but Potter said biocomposites will bounce back to their original shape. CIC researchers have developed a composite made from hemp, agave and other fibres. The natural fibres aren’t as strong as plexiglass, so glass fibres are used to make the biocomposites stronger. “The worst thing we can do is wait for the perfect material for every application. Let’s just get it in there, with what we’ve got right now.” Researchers are working on developing natural resins to bond with the hemp fibres, which should improve the material’s strength. The composite industry is worth

about $500 billion annually worldwide, which means it could become a multibillion-dollar industry in Canada if biocomposites made from prairie crops can grab a fraction of the demand from auto, aerospace and other industries, he said. Fiber-Werx of Sylvan Lake, Alta., is producing moulds for the Kestrel’s exterior based on CIC research. Alberta Innovates Technology Futures (AITF) has also contributed to the Kestrel’s body, focusing on all aspects of the hemp value chain from crop production to biocomposite development. “We did a lot of the early work in terms of trying to develop the hemp backbone structure for the composites,” said John Wolodko, AITF advanced materials manager. “Some of the early prototypes were derived from our crops in Vegreville, (Alta.).” CIC’s work on biocomposites has caught the eye of major players in the auto industry. Potter recently met with representatives of Ford and Hyundai, and both companies expressed interest in CIC’s technology. For instance, one potential use of a biocomposite material could be the wheel arch on the Hyundai Sonata, Potter said. If that happens, it would take 750 tonnes of hemp to make the wheel arches for the popular vehicle.

If Hyundai decided to use the hemp-based material for the wheel arches on all of its vehicles, the demand for hemp would expand exponentially, he added. Carmakers elsewhere are also using renewable materials. The European Union has legislation requiring 20 percent renewable content on all new vehicles, Potter said, creating demand for biomaterials. “Similar legislation will come here eventually,” he said. “Companies like Ford have the forward thinking to say we’re going to get ahead of that curve.” Motive Industries did not return phone calls for this story by press time, so it’s not clear when the Kestrel will be available to buy in Canada.

Big penalties on over-contribution to tax free savings account

Dealership owner’s profits up

GRANT DIAMOND

If a withdrawal is made you cannot replace the amount in the same year without penalties

T

he Tax-Free Savings Account introduced in 2009 was thought to be one of the best new programs created by the federal government in years. Similar to a Registered Retirement Savings Plan, TFSAs can contain different types of investments, such as guaranteed investment certificates, bonds, mutual funds and stocks. TFSAs offer flexibility, with a $5,000 limit each year that can be contributed and allowed to grow tax-free. Money can be withdrawn tax-free, and the amount withdrawn is added back to the TFSA contribution room in the following year. However, adding the withdrawal amount back to the contribution room is where confusion can arise, potentially resulting in penalties. Taxpayers will be subject to the TFSA tax on excess contributions if at any time their contributions exceed their TFSA contribution room for the year. The tax is similar to the tax of one percent per month on excess RRSP contributions. For a TFSA, the one percent is on the highest excess amount in the account for that month. This tax will accumulate until the excess amount is withdrawn. Unlike RRSPs, there is no $2,000 “grace” over-contribution amount for a TFSA. Taxpayers who have excess contributions should withdraw the funds immediately to avoid additional tax. The one percent tax on an excess TFSA amount applies from the first dollar of excess contributions. It is also based on the highest excess TFSA amount in an account for each month in which an excess exists. This means that the one percent tax applies for a particular month, even if an excess amount was contributed and withdrawn later during the same month. Taxpayers who have more than one TFSA can transfer funds directly from one to another without affecting their contribution room, provided their financial institution completes the transfer. If a taxpayer withdraws funds on his own from one TFSA and contributes those same funds to another TFSA, the re-contribution will be considered to be a new contribution. As a result, TFSA contribution room will be affected and the taxpayer may be subject to a tax on excess contributions. Like an RRSP, the yearly contribution limit of $5,000 is cumulative for a TFSA. Any amount not used in one year is carried forward to the next year.

For example, if a taxpayer contributed $5,000 to his TFSA in 2009 and $4,000 in 2010, the contribution room for 2011 would be $5,000 plus the $1,000 shortfall for the previous year. If he contributed the full $6,000 at the beginning of 2011 and then withdrew $2,000 during the year, he would be allowed to do so tax free. The problem occurs if the taxpayer tries to replace the withdrawal before the end of 2011. Then he would have over-contributed by $2,000, according to the Canada Revenue Agency, and would be subject to penalties. If the taxpayer waited until this year

to make good on the withdrawal, his contribution room would be $5,000 plus the $2,000 withdrawn in 2011. In addition to the tax on over-contributions in a TFSA, any earnings or increase in value reasonably attributable to “deliberate excess contributions” will be considered a tax advantage and taxed accordingly. The tax rate on an advantage is 50 percent of the income generated. Grant Diamond is a tax analyst in Kelowna, B.C. with FBC, a company that specializes in farm tax.

Rocky Mountain Dealerships Inc. posted a profit of $23.2 million in 2011, an increase of $8.3 million, or almost 56 percent over 2010. Rocky is one of Canada’s largest agriculture and construction equipment dealerships featuring Case New Holland with 36 branches in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. The company increased revenues in the year by 33.2 percent to $803 million. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization rose by 44.3 percent to $41.2 million. Alberta’s economic improvement combined with solid crop prices and conditions fueled growth in construction and agriculture equipment

sales in that region, the company said in a news release. The results were tempered by a softer market in the eastern Prairies, where excess moisture was a problem. That drove increased sales of used rather than new equipment. “The strategy we set out when we went public in 2007 has not changed: growth through acquisition by consolidating ag and construction dealerships in the Rocky Mountain corridor, grow organically by improving market share,” said Rocky chief executive officer Matt Campbell. “With over 40 Case and New Holland dealers in Western Canada representing more than 90 locations, we have years of acquisition opportunity ahead of us.”

VITERRA/GLENCORE | TAKEOVER

Swift deal surprises grain industry insiders Anatomy of a deal | Company statements swing from business as usual to ‘expressions of interest’ from third parties BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Brian Hayward has been a part of many Canadian grain industr y wheelings and dealings but he has never witnessed one like Glencore’s acquisition of Viterra. As the former chief executive officer of United Grain Growers and Agricore United, Hayward has played a role in three hostile and several friendly takeovers. But this one left him shaking his head. “I find it bizarre how the chief executive officer of (Viterra) is on television on Friday saying, ‘nothing is going on,’ and within a matter of days there’s a deal done and the board is 100 percent endorsing it,” said Hayward. Viterra CEO Mayo Schmidt told reporters on March 9 during a conference call about the company’s first quarter results for 2012 that Viterra had not been approached by anyone about buying Canada’s largest grain handler. A few hours later Viterra issued a news release acknowledging it actually had received “expressions of interest from third parties.” By March 20 Viterra was announcing that a deal had been reached with Glencore International. Hayward spoke to a dozen institutional investors who all shared his bewilderment with the seemingly rapid nature of the deal. Typically, companies in these situations try to drag out the process to generate competitive bids. The short timeline from an expression of interest to a sale didn’t make any sense to Hayward. Schmidt told reporters during a conference call held the day after the purchase announcement that the sale wasn’t nearly as hasty as it appeared.

Viterra fielded many inquiries. | FILE PHOTO

“What is seen in the public is the very tail end of a long process,” he said. It dates back many months and involves a lot more players than the Swiss commodity trader. The company fielded inquiries from many “aggressive buyers” around the globe, said Schmidt. “All the parties were given ample opportunity to put their best foot forward, to log their interest with the company through a rigorous process that was run by our board of directors.” But according to Leo de Bever, chief executive officer of Viterra’s largest

shareholder, Alberta Investment Management Corporation (AIMCo), it was a quick process. “In the last couple of months the rumour mill was doing overtime and it became obvious that something was up but we didn’t know exactly what.” He said it was only a couple of weeks before news broke about the expression of interest that the potential bidders “came out of the woodwork” and a week after that that the bids became serious. Curt Vossen, president of Richardson International, said work was going on behind the scenes for months. Richardson met with Glencore back in October when the company came to Winnipeg for meetings. “We got into a conversation and that led to a discussion on whether or not this would make some sense on a joint venture basis,” he said. “We began constructing how that would happen and what it would look like and what different interests both parties would have. Subsequent to that Agrium was brought into the equation.” De Bever said in addition to the Glencore bid, there were a couple of other international grain companies and a sovereign wealth fund that expressed interest in Viterra. “At the end of the day there were about three bids that made some sense and could be compared,” he said. Viterra’s board felt Glencore’s bid

offered the greatest benefits for the company, its employees and its customers around the world. Glencore’s cash bid of $16.25 per share was 48 percent over Viterra’s closing price on the Toronto Stock E xchange on March 8, the day before Viterra’s announcement that it had received expressions of interest. Hayward thinks Richardson was one of the biggest winners in this deal. “I think it’s going to be great for the

company and kudos to them,” he said. The company also fared well in Saskatchewan Wheat Pool’s 2007 takeover of Agricore United. Richardson was allowed to buy 15 grain elevators and nine farm supply centres from the pool in exchange for abandoning its bid for Agricore United. “Brilliant is probably maybe too strong a word but (Richardson) has executed extremely well,” said Hayward.

VITERRA/GLENCORE | TAKEOVER

Glencore-Viterra deal reverberates in Australia Deal combines two large wheat exporters BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

ROSEWORTHY, South Australia — An official with Swiss commodities trader Glencore International offered few details last week on how a $6.1 billion takeover of Viterra will affect grain growers in Australia. Andrew Wilsdon, manager of Glencore Grain’s South Australian operations, told farmers it is still too early to speculate on how Viterra’s Australian grain operations will be affected. However, he said Glencore will focus its Australian business on operations related to grain origination, bulk handling and exports. “We don’t have a lot of detail right now on what the (deal) means as far as on-the-ground operations,” Wilsdon said last week at a grain industry meeting near Roseworthy. “But our main focus will obviously be on grain origination.” The Glencore-Viterra deal is valued at $6.1 billion, but Wilsdon said Glencore’s investment will be closer to $3.5 billion once the company divests itself of “non-core assets.” In Australia, the deal will combine two of the country’s biggest wheat export companies. Although it owns few physical assets in Australia, Glencore has been exporting five million tonnes of grain and oilseeds a year out of the country for several years. It controls 16 percent of Australia’s wheat exports, 20 percent of barley and 32 percent of canola exports. The company also owns or farms 200,000 acres of farmland in Australia, primarily in the eastern state of New South Wales. The acquisition of Viterra’s assets will fortify Glencore’s share of the Australian grain trade and give the company control of key supply chain assets in the state of South Australia. Viterra is easily the biggest grain handler in South Australia. Andrew Hannon, country operations manger for Viterra, said the company owns more than 100 grain receival sites in South Australia and two large bulk storage facilities in the neighbouring state of Victoria. Total country storage under Viterra’s control is estimated at 10.4

million tonnes. Viterra also owns all seven bulk export terminals in South Australia and handles 90 percent of the grain that goes into the state’s bulk handling system. It also owns six packing and processing facilities in Victoria, New South Wales and South Australia and has malting operations throughout the country. The company’s Australian assets also include 15 to 20 farm input retail operations, which are not considered core assets under Glencore’s current operating model. Hannon said Viterra has been modernizing its country infrastructure over the past three years and has added more than a million tonnes of country storage capacity. “Effectively, during harvest, we would have somewhere between 250,000 and 300,000 transactions … and each one of those transactions (would represent) an average of 25,000 tonnes of grain,” Hannon said. “Last year, we took 6.7 million tonnes of grain into the system at our up-country and port facilities during harvest.” Deane Crabb, policy manager with the South Australian Farmers Federation, said the Glencore takeover will likely evoke a mixed reaction from the state’s grain farmers. Even with the loss of Viterra, close to a dozen active exporters will still be operating in the state. Viterra did not have great reputation with some of the state’s grain producers, he added. After the company acquired the assets of ABB — formerly the Australian Barley Board — in 2009, many growers complained of discriminatory pricing policies, inadequate grain testing procedures, irregular business hours and long lineups at Viterra delivery points. To address those concerns, the company reviewed it operational procedures at up-country facilities and implemented changes aimed at improving farmer relations. A statement distributed by Glencore Grain last week suggested it will continue to offer other Australian exporters access to Glencore-Viterra facilities, including country storage sites and export terminals.

Canada, Japan announce talks Free trade negotiations | Japan is Canada’s fourth largest export market BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Japan, already a $4 billion market for Canadian food exporters and the second-largest customer, has agreed to open free trade talks with Canada. “This is a truly historic step that will help create jobs and growth for both countries,” prime minister Stephen Harper said in Tokyo March 25 when announcing the negotiation. Japan is Canada’s fourth-largest export market overall already, and “I’m told we have the potential to increase our exports to Japan by as

much as two-thirds.” Canadian grain, pork, livestock and meat exporters immediately predicted major gains for Canadian agriculture and food producers. “Japan is the largest predictable market for Canadian canola seed, the second-largest market for Canadian malt and Canadian pork, the third largest market for Canadian wheat and the fourth largest market for Canadian beef,” the Canadian Agri-Food Trade Alliance said in a March 25 statement from Tokyo, where the agreement was announced. CAFTA executive director Kathleen

Sullivan was part of a large industry contingent that flew to Asia on the trade mission with Harper and agriculture minister Gerry Ritz. “A free trade agreement with Japan could result in additional exports of high-value Canadian agri-food products to that country,” she said. At the moment, high tariffs and non-tariff barriers block increased Canadian access to the Japanese market. Still, despite the barriers, canola and oilseed exports are worth $1.4 billion, pork sales are close to $900 million and wheat exports are worth almost $500 million.

Growers vote to double levy for flax research BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Saskatchewan’s flax growers have voted in favour of doubling the levy they pay on the crop. More than 50 registered flax growers who attended a meeting in Regina March 20 unanimously voted to increase the levy on flax seed to $2.36 per tonne from $1.18 per tonne.

The increase will take effect Aug. 1, if approved by the Agri-Food Council. Gregor Beck, vice-chair of the Saskatchewan Flax Development Commission, said the commission would have been in dire straits if growers had rejected the levy hike because it has fixed annual commitments for long-term research projects. “We’re in serious trouble. We cannot fill these research commitments

plus our own administration.” The old levy was established when growers were producing 700,000 to 900,000 tonnes of flax annually. Flax output has been drastically reduced the past couple of years because of wet springs and the Triffid incident, in which a genetically modified flax variety contaminated the supply system. Last year, growers produced 368,000 tonnes of flax.

A Leader in Soil Survey Work In 1944 the Department of Soil Science completed a comprehensive survey of the soils resources of the province’s settled areas – the first of its kind in Canada. This achievement was a milestone in the development of the Saskatchewan Soil Survey, which had been an ongoing activity of the Department of Soil Science since 1921, when the survey was established on the recommendation of a Royal Commission of the Provincial Legislature. Of inestimable value to the agricultural industry of the province, the work of the Soil Survey provides producers with information on the province, potential of soils and the agronomic significance of environmental features. On the basis of Soil Survey evaluations, Saskatchewan established farmland assessment procedures that are among the best in the world. The Soils Survey Report of 1944 set the standard for all future soils reposts and had a major impact on the province. The report covered an area of some 61 million acres and described the agricultural significance of such features as relief, drainage, surface geological deposits and production potential. The ratings of soils used for wheat production provided an equitable tax base for rural Saskatchewan. The soil associations delineated in the maps of the report allowed farmers to use various commercial fertilizers more effectively for increased crop production.

The production of Saskatchewan’s first detailed “physiographic” map by the Soil Survey in 1960 provided an important resource for researchers and administrators in the province. The map indicates the shape of the land by showing such features as fluvial plains, escarpments, till plains, and moraines. The map delineates 46 distinct physiographic divisions and contains a legend describing each division in terms of its topography, landforms, elevations, and surficial and bedrock geology. In 1970 the Soil Survey published a map showing the physiographic divisions of northern Saskatchewan in greater detail than on the 1960 map.

SASKATCHEWAN BUDGET | EDUCATION

Sask. school funding model overhauled Distribution formula | Provincewide mill rate required new way to raise money BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Anxious Saskatchewan school divisions now know how much money they will get this year under a new funding formula announced in the March 21 provincial budget. All will see increases from $10 million in transition funding to help mitigate the impacts of the new distribution model. If the model had been introduced without mitigation, eight of the 28 divisions would have seen their funding drop, including Creighton, Living Sky, Lloydminster, North East,

North West, Prairie South, Prairie Spirit and Prairie Valley. Saskatchewan School Boards Association president Sandi Urban-Hall said boards are willing to give the new model a chance. “ The foreshadow ing that the school divisions saw a month, six weeks ago, definitely did create anxiety and fear but in that time, there have been numerous discussions between boards, ministry officials and the minister herself,” she said after the budget was announced. “We were looking today for mitigation and a way to help school divisions move forward. We see that.” The distribution formula replaces the former foundation operating grant developed decades ago and frozen for the last three years after the government moved to a provincewide mill rate. Previously, boards received operat-

ing money on a per student basis and were able to raise the remainder of what they needed from the property tax base. When the government moved to cut the education tax on property, it implemented a provincewide mill rate and took away the boards’ taxing authority. It then had to come up with a new way to meet divisions’ needs. Officials said the new model is more equitable, examining factors such as the number of schools in a division, geography and historical costs. School divisions with richer tax bases won’t benefit more than less wealthy divisions. “Those school divisions that had access to rich tax wealth will have tight budgets this year, next year and possibly a third year,” said education minister Donna Harpauer. She said some school divisions

have expressed interest in adopting the lean processing model that the health ministry and others are using to identify how to do things more efficiently to reduce costs. She also said that school divisions may want to work together. Two divisions perhaps can get a better deal if they bought 10 buses together. Urban-Hall said when divisions start building their budgets for next year in September, they will get a better idea of how the new model is working and what changes might need to be made. “The fundamental piece is that there’s communication between the school division and the ministry (and) that the goal is and will remain equitable opportunities for students,” she said. Overall, education funding went up this year to $1.74 billion, including an $88.7 million increase in

capital spending. The province is also moving toward a new shared ownership model for selected large capital projects such as schools, hospitals and long-term care facilities. The costs will be amortized over the expected life of the facility, similar to highways, rather than expensed all in the first year. The province would own 65 percent of the project. Previously, a school division would completely own a school. Six of 21 school capital projects in Swift Current, Regina, Saskatoon, Warman and Lloydminster will be funded through the new model, as will the new Moose Jaw Union Hospital and seven of the 13 long-term care projects underway or recently completed. The provincial health budget is set at $4.7 billion and remains the province’s largest expense at nearly 42 percent of the total budget.

RECIPES | FILLING SOUPS

Fill up with squash soup, crunchy cheese bread TEAM RESOURCES

BETTY ANN DEOBALD, BSHEc

M

y daughters-in-law, Leanne and Lydia, buy butternut squash that has been peeled and cut into cubes. For them, this reduces the preparation time and makes the squash convenient . They have both used the cooked, mashed squash as a first food for their babies. It is easy to digest and the young ones like it plain or with added fruit purée. The moms cook up the squash and freeze it in baby size one serving containers for easy use. The extra squash has been used in a number of soups. The following curry soup is a favourite. To increase the protein and fibre, Leanne likes to add yellow split peas. Granddaughters Keira and Skye like their soup topped with grated cheese. It is important to check the cut up squash for any signs of mould before purchasing. Freeze cubed squash if not using immediately and use within one month.

CURRIED BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP 1 tbsp. reduced-fat butter 15 mL or margarine 1/2 c. onion, chopped 125 mL 1 tsp. curry powder 5 mL 1 1/2 c. low sodium, 375 mL reduced fat chicken broth 1/2 c. apple juice 125 mL 4 c. butternut squash, 1L peeled and cubed 1 c. pears, peeled 250 mL and chopped 1/4 tsp. salt 1 mL 1/3 c. sour cream, low fat 75 mL fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

WEIGHT LOSS | STUDY

Chocolate not best diet HEALTH CLINIC

CLARE ROWSON, MD

Q: A:

Have you come across any new weight loss diets recently?

While we all know that eating a good breakfast is a good idea because your metabolism is at its most active in the morning, eating a slice of chocolate cake might be pushing it. The idea of this diet is that eating sugary food early in the day could help reduce the cravings for it later, when you burn off the calories more

slowly. Breakfast is also the meal that most successfully regulates the hormone ghrelin, which is responsible for feelings of hunger. Researchers at Tel Aviv University split 193 clinically obese adults into two groups that consumed either a low-carbohydrate diet that included a 300 calorie breakfast or a balanced 600 calorie breakfast that included chocolate cake. Halfway through the 32 week study, both groups had lost the same amount— an average of 33 pounds. However, in the second half of the study, the low-carbohydrate group gained back an average of 22 lb. per person, while the cake eaters continued to lose another 15 lb. each. I think I will stick to my usual breakfast of oatmeal and maple syrup. Clare Rowson is a retired medical doctor in Belleville, Ont. Contact: health@producer.com.

ON THE FARM | CHICKEN PRODUCERS

Dairy to chicks: new opportunities B.C. family moves to Saskatchewan BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

DALMENY, Sask. — Diane and Mark Pastoor desperately wanted to be dairy farmers. Both were raised on dairies in the Abbotsford, B.C., area and entering that industry seemed a natural fit. “We dreamed of cows,” Diane said. But it was chicken production and a move that got them on their own farm. In British Columbia, Mark worked as a dairy herdsman and Diane stayed at home with their young children. After seven years as a couple, they bought her parents’ herd and leased more quota. In the seven following years, the family and their cows moved three times in pursuit of their goal. At times, the couple was milking 120 cows. But quota was getting more expensive and their dream looked unattainable. Saskatchewan, with its more reasonable quota and land prices, began to look attractive. Their search for opportunity led them to a different sector, and in 2003

the family purchased a broiler chicken operation near Dalmeny from a group of B.C. investors. “We were nervous about chicken,” Diane said. “But we were very glad to own our own farm.” Chicks R Us Poultry, a reference to the couple’s four daughters, Shawna, twins Brandee and Breanna and Stephanie, was born. The family now also includes granddaughter Madison. Initially, Mark worked two off-farm jobs managing another chicken operation and unloading rail cars full of animal feed ingredients at nearby Langham to help make ends meet. Diane said their lender, Farm Credit Canada, would not allow them to draw an income off their own farm for the first five years because they were too strapped financially. When they were on their feet and able to build a third barn, Mark gave up those jobs and devoted himself to his own farm. In fact, he built the barn and understands exactly how the systems inside work. Twice a day, he goes through to make sure the feed and water systems are working and the

A back-up generator kicks in if the power goes off. “They would suffocate in half an hour, 45 minutes because the heat builds up,” Mark said. The barns hold 110,000 birds per cycle or about 37,000 birds per barn, and they put through 6.5 cycles each year. Chicks arrive in Dalmeny from the

hatchery only hours old and are shipped out within 35 to 39 days, depending on the processor’s requirements. All broiler chicken farms operating under Canada’s supply managed system of quotas and tariffs are free run. Biosecurity measures are in place through on-farm food safety programs, and animal care regulations are in place to govern the number of birds in a certain space and other practices. The birds have access to food and water at all times. No hormones are used, despite what some might claim. “That’s where we’ve failed to educate,” Diane said. “Hormones have been illegal since the ’60s.” But improvements in feed and genetics mean the birds do grow faster than they once did. The Pastoors usually produce Ross 308 birds, and sometimes Cobbs. The Ross 308 is preferred for breast yields, straight legs and good bones, Diane said. The birds are not force-fed, which is another myth with which the industry has to deal. They are kept in climate controlled, well ventilated barns. Lighting is controlled to keep the birds calm and boost productivity. Chicks enter a dimly lit, warm barn and as they grow, the temperature comes down and the ventilation increases. “We go through quite a bit of heat,” Mark said. Air also keeps the litter dry. Broilers are raised on an all-grain diet. To keep costs in check, Mark adds whole wheat to pelleted rations from a feed company. “I like to buy from local farmers,” he said. Diane notes they didn’t even know a grain farmer before moving to Saskatchewan. The meat from wheat-fed chickens is paler in colour than corn-fed chicken, and processors want a consistent product. The Pastoors also buy straw bedding from local Hutterites. The litter is composted and spread on their own hay land. Mark sells the resulting hay to the dairy and horse industries. Aside from these purchases, the chicken industry is essentially a closed loop. The processors own the

hatcheries and buy the final product. Currently, the Pastoors are shipping their birds to the Lilydale processing plant in Wynyard, Sask., which in turn sends chicken to places like Costco and Federated Co-op, and the rotisserie market. Previously, they shipped to Prairie Pride Natural Foods in Saskatoon, which serves mainly restaurants and fast food chains. Mark said the shipping process is carefully managed to ensure humane treatment of the birds. Cages are brought into the barn well before the catching begins, and blue light bulbs allow the catchers to do their work without the glare of bright lights that might agitate the chickens. A Canadian Food Inspection Agency inspector at the processing plants ensures the chickens are handled and transported properly. There are 73 registered broiler chicken producers in Saskatchewan who work under the supply managed Canadian system. Coming from the dairy sector, the Pastoors are comfortable with the system. They like the fact that their cost of production is covered and that the industry is viable for future generations. Diane said some people have misconceptions about how supply management works. “We are not government subsidized ever,” she said. “We are controlling the amount of food produced based on market demand.” They do face some imports, with about 11 percent of broiler chicken imported. And, they do export about 14 percent of the provincial allocation as per trade agreements. It’s true that the way the industry is set up allows little opportunity for new entrants. But Diane, who is chair of Chicken Farmers of Saskatchewan, said that will change. “Once we reach a certain level of growth we’re going to have a new entrants’ program,” she said. Both processors could handle increased production, she said. Diane has been involved with CFS since January 2005 when curiosity and a desire to know her fellow producers led her to a meeting. She is now completing her last year as chair and a term as representative to Chicken Farmers of Canada.

SPRING CHORES | PLANT PREPARATION

Geraniums bring joy, beauty to indoors and summer garden IN THE COUNTRY GARDEN

ALBERT PARSONS

Give plants adequate light, moisture and nutrition for optimal results

S

lipping my geraniums is a task I thoroughly enjoy at this time of year when my green thumbs begin to twitch. My geranium plants are like old friends, and as I work with them, I fondly remember the people from whom I got many of the plants. I enjoy their pungent scent and marvel at how such an old standby can still bring me joy and provide beauty to both my indoor garden and outdoor landscape. By March, the geraniums, including many coloured leaf zonals, several scented pelargoniums, and my prized tulip geranium have all grown bushy and tall after having been cut back severely before they were brought into the sunroom in the fall. They are in full bloom and one downside to taking slips now is sacrificing all the lovely blooms and buds. In early March, I take slips from these parent plants, each now sporting a large number of healthy stems from which to harvest slips. I use a sharp knife to cut off the ends of the stems, giving me slips that are about 20 centimetres in length. After letting the slips callous over for a few hours, I plant them in damp perlite, or sometimes a sterile soilless mix. During this whole process, I ensure that I label the slips accurately. Sometimes I use rooting hormone, but I haven’t found that it makes a great deal of difference with my success rate. I put the containers of slips in my light garden, being sure to keep the medium moist, and in about a month, the slips will have developed roots. I then plant each rooted cutting in soilless mix in a four inch pot and place the pots under the lights. I begin to fertilize weekly with a half strength 20-20-20 soluble fertilizer. I let the soil surface dry out between waterings, which doesn’t take long in the warm environment of my light garden, the basement furnace room. In April, I move the plants to the sunroom windows to make room in the light garden for growing annual seedlings. By May, the geranium plants are setting bud and coming into bloom. Outdoors, I use my geraniums in containers. I place pots of scented geraniums on a shelf near the sunroom door where their aroma can be enjoyed. I use zonals, including my tulip geraniums, in pots by themselves or in mixed containers. Geraniums like lots of sun. They are easy-care plants that flourish when given adequate moisture and nutrients and should be deadheaded regularly to remove spent blooms.

ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE | DONATION

Donor hopes funds help chronically ill patients $1 million gift to University of Lethbridge | Research will explore non-traditional treatment and comfort care BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

An Alberta maverick who preferred to take his own path through life has donated $1 million to alternative health research at the University of Lethbridge. Tom Droog’s wife, Emmy, was diagnosed with cancer in 2007 and died in 2010. Watching her through that time was when Droog decided to explore new approaches to the care and treatment of cancer patients. As Emmy’s cancer progressed, the couple worked together investigating various options to improve her quality of life. “Most of the time when people hear the word ‘cancer,’ they hear nothing else,” he said in an interview from his home in DeWinton, Alta. “When people get cancer, they are just plain scared and it is hard on the family.” He wants the university to work with other institutions to educate patients and their families about options. Droog, who was presented with an honourary doctorate by the University of Lethbridge in 2006, turned the donation over to the university’s faculty of health sciences for the Emmy Droog Chair in Complementary and Alternative Health Care endowment. It is the faculty’s first endowed professorship. Research will explore alternative medicine for chronic diseases such as cancer, heart disease and diabetes. Research could also explore comfort care. “I hope they are going to open the box,” he said. “There’s got to be a better way.” Complementar y care is often geared toward health maintenance and health promotion, said Ruth Grant Kalischuk, associate dean of nursing at the U of L, which offers degrees in nursing, addictions and

public health. Options include vitamin therapy, herbs, yoga, chiropractic, massage, meditation, prayer, acupuncture, homeopathy or mind-body approaches. The university has a three-year plan to hire a person with expertise in complementary and alternative health care. “It will enable us to take some common practices and bring the science to that and also support practitioners who are deciding to augment their practice with complementary therapies,” Kalischuk said. “The proportion of people living with chronic disease is escalating with the increasing baby boomer population. Very often people are getting relief by using the complementary therapies.” Droog emigrated from the Netherlands in 1972 with $125 to his name. “All I had was my name and my two hands,” he said. When he arrived, a farm labourer was paid $1 an hour, while oil rigs paid $4.50 an hour. He chose agriculture because he loved farming and marketing. “I wanted to have options.” With help from bankers and the Alberta government, he and his wife created Alberta Sunflower Seeds, Ltd., which grew into the multimillion-dollar confectionary company Spitz Sunflower Seeds of Bow Island, Alta. He sold the company to PepsiCo in 2008 and wanted to give something back to his adopted community.

EDUCATION | HOME SCHOOLING

Taking education beyond academics yields benefits for family Pros and cons debated | Home schooling allows children to stay connected to family, rural business, but threatens closures of small schools BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Lynette Dyck home schools four of her children on the family farm outside of Swift Current, Sask. And in conversation with Dyck, it is likely that her three-year-old will probably make that five in a few years. She believes that educating a child at home, surrounded by family, yields net benefits that extend beyond academics to improved character and behaviour. It’s also allowed her to implement a unique program for her 12-year-old daughter who has autism. There are challenges to home

schooling in a rural environment as pulling children out of small rural schools can put them on the brink of closure. It can also be difficult to access public facilities during daytime hours in small centres where home school families aren’t catered to, she said. On the positive side, home schooling keeps the children at home, connected to the family and family business, which includes raising sheep and selling hay. “When we get some reward for a crop or by selling a product, they share in that reward as well. They see the work ethic of the parents.” Dyck was in Saskatoon last month

for the Saskatchewan Home Based Educators conference and attended a presentation on home schooling a child with a label and/or disability presented by Sylvia Funk of Pathways for Neuroeducational Development. Dyck uses a neurodevelopmental program for her autistic daughter. Funk and the Okotoks, Alta.-based Pathways work with children with a variety of labels, everything from brain injuries to learning disabilities to autism. But labels, said Funk, only describe symptoms. “I help them from the brain’s perspective to ensure that their development is enhanced and continues and

that they’re able to reach their intended potential,” said Funk. Funk tries to find areas of inefficiency, such as auditory processing or atypical pain awareness, which are inhibiting the child’s academic, social, physical or behavioural performance and develop a program of therapies that cam be implemented by parents. Dyck said her child couldn’t speak or show affection and choked on every meal. “We’ve had a lot of success,” she said. “ We still have a long ways to go.” Funk said successful programming can result in improved behaviour,

listening and written and verbal communication. Funk, previously from Drake, Sask., has been training in this field for eight years, and previously implemented a program for her own son, whose fine motor skills were five years delayed. “The teachers didn’t understand why he was the way he was. He looked normal. He had good behaviour,” she said. “For a child with autism, especially a well-behaved child, you cannot see that difference and I thought I’ve got to get him out of that. It’s like a pressure cooker for him. They were expecting things out of him that he was not able to do.”
