17TH ANNUAL

PACIFIC AGRICULTURE SHOW

Welcome to the 17th annual Pacific Agriculture Show The Pacific Agriculture Show continues to grow in size and reputation and is by far the largest and most important agricultural event in the province. It is widely considered one of the best Ag Shows in North Amerca. We presently have 275+ exhibiting companies with over 50 companies on the waitlist to exhibit. If Tradex was twice as big I am certain that we could fill it.

People have never been more interested in food - how it’s grown and where it comes from. The Pac Ag Show allows visitors to see the entire industry and the closed loop economy that goes into the producing the food that we often take for granted at the supermarket.

The fact that the world will need 70 per cent more food by 2050 puts Canada in a position to benefit from this growing demand. Agriculture is an important, sustainable and incredibly strong, often under-valued contributor to a healthy economy and is an important part of every community. The suppliers to all the commodities are well represented at the Show.

Please enjoy the Show, and if you bring the kids - they can check out the antique farm equipment museum, the popular Aldor Acres petting zoo and learn more about agriculture at the Ag More Than Ever booth.

17TH ANNUAL

PACIFIC AGRICULTURE SHOW

A look into the future of farming The Pacific Agriculture Show (PacAg Show) since its inception 17 years ago has always placed a strong emphasis on innovation. Equipment displays often give farmers a look into the future with recent developments that could further enhance the leading edge BC farmers have enjoyed over the years.

This year University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) representatives will be at the PacAg Show to outline their plan for the future which incorporates agricultural education with technology training. Already a committee has formulated a plan looking ten years ahead which will create

an Agricultural Centre of Excellence in Chilliwack to shape future farms.

Working in concert with Chilliwack’s Economic Partners Corporation and the Federal and Provincial governments, the collaborative effort together with the financial support of Envision Credit Union resulted in construction of a new demonstration barn and a ‘forward-looking’ state-of-the-art greenhouse. In these new facilities, students are involved in hands-on training in a variety of horticultural and livestock courses.

UFV personnel will be on location at this year’s trade show to answer any

questions visitors may have about UFV’s future plan to become the primary training institute in BC. Today’s high powered farm tractors must be equipped with the new Tier IV low emissions engine mandated by the federal government.

Avenue Machinery Corp. will display their tractor models equipped with the Tier IV engine plus a full line of related equipment from Kubota, Massey Ferguson and Fendt this year. Kubota will introduce a new more powerful tractor to its lineup that will compliment Kubota’s extensive lineup and should meet farmer’s demands. Another new product to be seen for the first time will be a new skid-steer loader that should draw a lot of interest among poultry farmers.

Kubota has also bought out Kverneland and will display their array of haying equipment including rakes and balers, and in the future a lineup of plows.

Rollins Machinery Ltd. will display their new New Holland T8, 410hp tractor designed to meet the demand for bigger tractors that can handle the heavy equipment hauls on today’s farms.

Sales Manager Bevan Jones says there is a trend towards larger and more powerful tractors. In line with the requirement that new heavy duty tractors must meet new low emission standards, the T8 is equipped with the new T4B Tier IV engine. Also on display will be the new Tempo Corn Planter and a new disc mower which has a thirteen-foot cut.

BMO

Interested visitors to the Rollins location can also check out the Boomer series of quiet and efficient smaller horsepower tractors Matsqui Ag Repair also has a significant lineup of tractors and other farm equipment geared for today’s and tomorrow’s industry requirements. In their display the company features McCormick tractors, including the advanced GM55 adaptable in size for use by all farmers with power ranges from 55 to 165hp. Matsqui Ag Repair also sell the popular Deutz-Fahr and Kioti line of tractors with machines designed for use by berry growers. You will also find an excellent range of other equipment on display built by Kuhn and Club Cadet, as well as the popular McHale wrappers for use in storing silage. The plastic wrapped forage can be seen on many BC farms today.

Prairie Coast Equipment, a John Deere dealer, will have their Integrated Solutions Management team at the show to talk to farmers about the range of systems like GPS that are available today. As well expect to see the Midnight Black Special Edition ATV, the new 7250R model tractor equipped with a 50kph variable speed transmission.

Also featured will be the narrow tractors specifically designed for berry growers’ needs, as well as the Rears Sprayer. Prairie Coast Equipment services farmers equipment needs from outlets in BC and Continued on page 5

PACIFIC AGRICULTURE SHOW New equipment may give BC farmers a leading edge Continued from page 4

Alberta. They sell and service their popular line of lawn and garden tractors as well as the larger horse powered tractors favored by many dairy farmers in the Fraser Valley. John Deere has remained in the forefront with their line of specialized equipment designed for today and future needs.

Caliber Equipment Ltd. Is owned and operated by Aaron and George Dick, both dairy farmers who operate a 250 cow dairy. They know and understand the needs of farmers and sell a line of Case IH, Claas, and Kioti farm equipment. They have a keen eye open to the future knowing that the capital required to get established in farming can be overwhelming. Looking to the future large farms are likely to get bigger calling for larger and more powerful equipment. This trend demands dealers market the right equipment. Caliber prides itself on not only selling quality farm equipment but having the servicing experience to help farmers maintain it.

Handler’s Equipment Ltd. is your Mahindra tractor dealer. Mahindra’s mCRD technology is the direct result of a $30-million investment to redesign and engineer the new Tier IV engines. The company has created a turnkey solution without utilizing a Diesel Particulate

Filter (DPF). The new Mahindra engines provide a simple solution and reduce gas emissions by over 360 tons per year, and still help to Push More, Pull More, and Lift More. At this year’s PacAg Show Handler’s Equipment will show off three models of their lineup of tractors; the 36hp Cab Tractor; the 26hp tractor with loader and backhoe; and a 40hp tractor equipped with a loader.

West Coast Robotics has become the number one supplier of robotic milking equipment in the Fraser Valley. This year they are introducing Vector, their feeding robot. John Morrow photo It is equipped with a one ton feed mixer and can handle grass, or corn, or potatoes or anything else that constitutes a meal for the cows. It is a programmable robot, very flexible and will operate 24/7. The inputs that Vector can handle include the type of feed, whether for milking cows or for heifers, and will feed the cows at whatever times of the day or night that farmers

want their animals fed. Also on display at the PacAg Show will be a Lely A4 robotic milker. Brian Rodenburg invites dairy farmers who are thinking of converting their milking operations to robots to stop by their location. Rodenburg and his staff will be pleased to explain why they claim the Lely robot is the least expensive way to milk and feed your herd robotically.

Farm financing is much easier to obtain today primarily because of low long term interest rates and extended re-payment terms. While this augers well, financing future farm operations is a decision that requires a workable business plan and careful planning to manage the financing and to provide a return on the investment of today’s farmer. The PacAg Show has seven financial organizations all eager discuss these needs.

Farm Credit Canada is a major sponsor of the Pacific Agriculture Show.

FCC is also Canada’s largest agriculture lender. FCC provides financing, insurance, software, and learning programs for producers, agri-businesses and agrifood operations. FCC’s chief agriculture economist feels Canadian agriculture is more resilient and ready to take on new future opportunities in 2015 than ever before. Stop by the FCC location at the PacAg Show where staff are ready to discuss your future financial needs in a highly competitive market.

Bank of Montreal, Envision Financial, TD Canada Trust Ag Services, RBCRoyal Bank, Scotiabank, will all be staffed with knowledgeable personnel who can provide conventional farmers, organic farmers, and the many other growers and producers with up to date financing information. Because of high land costs and huge investments needed to become a successful farmer, it is critical that farm operations today have a solid and manageable financial plan in place the PacAg Show provides those in the farming business or those intending to become farmers an opportunity to explore the many financial options offered by these financial organizations.

With over two-hundred exhibits and information booths, the PacAg Show is a one-stop location for farmers and others in the agriculture and agri-food industries.

PACIFIC AGRICULTURE SHOW Thursday, January 29 to Saturday, January 31, 2015

17TH ANNUAL

PACIFIC AGRICULTURE SHOW

Investors ask the wrong question “Is there going to be a correction?� With the financial crisis of 2008/09 still fresh in people’s Murray Leith, CFA minds, and the media forever warning that the sky is falling, we don’t blame investors for asking. But it’s the wrong question.

The right question is, “How am I going to react when the inevitable corrections arrive?�

The answer needs to be, “I’m not going to do anything or I’m going to buy more.�

If that is not the answer, then you should work with your investment advisor to adjust the asset mix in your portfolio to reduce volatility and minimize the chance of panic. The right asset mix is different for everyone, and it’s important that you get it right so that you have the conviction to hold great businesses through the good times and bad.

Far too many people think that investment riches are achieved by jumping in and out

of the market and switching between stocks and sectors. We do not fault people for thinking that way because the investment industry and the media are constantly reinforcing the idea that you have to react to every breaking development. But that is not the case.

You do not get rich in the

stock market by trying to outsmart other investors and second-guessing market action in the short-term. Both are simply too hard to achieve and we are not aware of anyone who is consistently good at it. The world’s wealthy got rich by owning good businesses over the long run. Good businesses grow and

compound value internally, and the rising tide of intrinsic value ultimately accrues to patient, long-term investors.

The unfortunate reality is that the human race is not very good at processing and reacting to short-term developments. It’s very easy to say “buy low and sell high,� but it is human nature

to do the opposite – to buy high and sell low – as people are tempted to chase hot stocks and dump the laggards.

The average investor does poorly because his or her emotional reaction to volatility leads to poorly timed buy and sell decisions. Richard Bernstein, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Investment Officer of Richard Bernstein Advisors, highlighted the depressing reality by comparing the investment performance of the average investor to the performance of roughly 20 asset classes and sub-asset classes (refer to the chart on this page).

For the 20-year period ended December 2013, the average U.S. investor achieved an annual return of just 2.5% and underperformed every asset class or sub-asset class except Asian Emerging Markets and Japan.

The average investor could have achieved a better result by rolling three-month T-bills.

Over the same 20-year period, Continued on page 15

17TH ANNUAL

PACIFIC AGRICULTURE SHOW

Staying with a long-term plan is key Continued from page 14

the 10-year U.S. Treasury bond earned 5.5% per year while the U.S. equity benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, compounded at an annual rate of more than 9%.

Volatility is a fact of life in the stock market. The chart on page 14 highlights the range of inter-year gains and losses for the broadly based U.S. S&P 500 Index, with the blue or grey bars indicating the closing level for each year. Since World War II, there have been 176 corrections

of 5% or more, which averages about 2½ per year. So far, there have been two corrections of that magnitude in 2014 – about normal. We can guarantee that there will be more corrections.

We just can’t tell you when.

Investors who accept volatility do well, while those who try to anticipate it invariably do poorly.

The interesting and unusual thing about the current stock market cycle is that investors are not throwing caution to the wind as the bull market ages.

Despite significant stock market

gains, investors have been biting their nails the whole way up. As highlighted in the chart below, investors have been net sellers of equity mutual funds for almost the entire rally. That’s a shame, given that the Canadian and U.S. equity benchmarks have more than doubled and tripled from their respective lows in March 2009.

The Odlum Brown Model Portfolio has grown almost 19 fold, or 15.9% compounded annually, over almost 20 years.

We didn’t achieve that record by

jumping in and out of the market. In fact, we have never made a call to sit on the sidelines in cash while waiting for a correction and buying opportunity.

We probably never will. We achieved our track record by owning good or great businesses through good times and bad. Rather than trying to time the market, we are disciplined about the price we pay for stocks, and shift emphasis over time to those stocks and sectors with the best relative value. To do better than the average investor and reach your retirement goals, it’s important to stop fearing corrections and accept them as a market reality. The formula for achieving investment success is really quite simple: (1) develop a long-term plan with an appropriate mix of stocks and bonds; (2) buy quality businesses at reasonable prices; (3) ignore the short-term noise;
