Yield Alberta 2014 in review and a look forward to 2015

e are pleased to provide the sixth edition of Yield Alberta, a joint publication brought to you by the Agriculture Financial Services Corporation (AFSC) and Alberta Farmer. The data presented in Yield Alberta is farm-level data for a given year and based on Albertaâ€™s 22 risk areas. Yields are adjusted for dockage and test weight, but not for quality. The data is presented as reported by farmers, as collected from an inspection on a claim or as gathered through random audit. To ensure that there is a reasonable sample size, and to protect the privacy of producers, varieties are only

listed if they are grown by five or more producers in a risk area. In general, the larger the sample size and the higher the number of acres reported, the more representative the yields. Where there are a small number of acres reported, results may be more sensitive to growing conditions and field-specific circumstances. To ensure easy access to this data, staff at Agriculture and Rural Development have built an online tool for your use. This data is available at www.agric.gov. ab.ca/app96/loadrptinput. By entering their legal land description, producers may compare varieties by yield and cropping practices in an easy-to-use interface.

Despite challenges from cool, wet weather, yields were still above average

2014

â€” the crop year in review by Ken Handford, program development analyst, AFSC

ast year will be remembered as the year that followed the record yields of 2013 and experienced an epic weather roller-coaster. Overall, provincial yield estimates were excellent. Excluding the exceptional yields of 2013, provincial averages for all major crops were above any year in the past 10. This was combined with extended periods of cool, wet periods followed by extended warm, dry periods. The growing season started off slowly, with most areas experiencing cool temperatures up until Victoria Day. The conditions improved significantly in the last week of May, which allowed seeding to kick in to high gear. Producers were able to plant more than one-third of their intended acres in that seven-day period. June saw a return to cooler temperatures resulting in delays in crop development in all areas. However, the

yield Alberta

2015

crop developed rapidly in July due to extended periods of warm, dry weather. The month of July ended with much-needed precipitation that was beneficial to both yield and quality. The warm temperatures throughout most of August brought maturity on rapidly with first reports of combining by the third week. An early snowfall in September saw some areas receive 20 cm of snow on the ground, which resulted in some crop damage. Harvest continued into early November.

Yields

Provincial crop yields on stubble in 2014 were all lower than 2013. This was due more to the excellent growing conditions experienced in 2013 than the growing conditions in 2014 (see Table 1).

Special coverage available under irrigation, and new NCII program available on dryland

The hemp grain train finds tracks in Alberta by Jesse Cole, research analyst, AFSC

emp grain acres in Alberta have been building a full head of steam since the federal government introduced the Industrial Hemp Regulations under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act in 1998. The regulations make it legal to grow industrial varieties of hemp without the psychotropic compound tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Strong consumer demand and stable processing plants in Manitoba that contract acres in Alberta are largely to thank for the current upward trend in acres. Research and industry development support from organizations like Alberta Innovates Technology Futures, Farming Smarter and The Government of Albertaâ€™s Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development have helped to understand how the crop can thrive in Alberta. Hemp can be grown in a large part of the province but the majority of current acres are grown under irrigation in southern Alberta where heat and water are both readily available. The crop has relatively few agronomic challenges and can be seeded and combined with most existing equipment. Contracting processors also offer agronomic support through general advice and how to deal with any of hempâ€™s individual quirks. Producers keen on growing Health Canada-approved varieties in the province need to undergo a licensing

yield Alberta

2015

process that includes submission of field and storage locations, a criminal records check and some other mandatory details. For most varieties, a Health Canadaapproved inspector will visit the farm to test that THC levels are under 0.3 per cent. The pioneering groundwork for growing hemp grain in the province has been done but work continues to improve the regulatory, agronomic and economic environment for hemp producers. The hemp sector is currently pursuing a transfer of licensing and regulation duties from Health Canada to Agriculture and AgriFood Canada (AAFC). The shift would reduce some of the existing barriers by removing on-farm testing and streamlining the licensing process. AFSC has supported hemp growers through the addition of a hemp grain insurance product to its Annual Crop Production Insurance Program. This will be similar to what is offered for crops like wheat, barley and canola and will include a hail endorsement. It will be available for AFSC clients growing hemp under irrigated conditions in Risk Areas 2, 3, 4 and 5. Hemp grown under dryland conditions will not be eligible for production insurance in 2015 but will be covered by the New Crop Insurance Initiative (NCII). For more information on insuring hemp grain or the NCII please contact your nearest AFSC office.

Historical data not available, so new program uses alternative methods to determine coverage

New coverage

for non-traditional crops b y D e b r a B l o w e r, s e n i o r p r o g r a m d e v e l o p m e n t a n a l y s t , A F S C

FSC is introducing a new concept in insurance coverage for the 2015 crop year. The New Crop Insurance Initiative (NCII) provides coverage for clients who produce new or non-traditional crops not currently covered by traditional multi-peril coverage insurance. Clients who produce crops such as soybeans, dryland hemp, perennial seed and other new or non-traditional crops now have access to insurance coverage. Traditionally, delivery of crop production insurance has always depended on extensive agronomic information. For crops such as wheat, canola and barley, yield records and pricing are readily available, as is information to assess production loss. For new or non-traditional crops, such as dryland hemp or soybeans, the agronomic database for Alberta is not extensive enough to provide a full production loss program which requires yield and price information.

NCII has been designed to overcome this lack of agronomic data for new and non-traditional crops by using alternative methods to determine coverage and indemnities. The design of NCII also enables AFSC to gather data and gain experience with new and non-traditional crops. As AFSC gains experience with a particular crop the goal will be to transfer that crop to a traditional multi-peril production insurance program. This program will operate differently than the current multi-peril production insurance program that AFSC offers. Coverage will be based on a blend of direct input costs (as determined by AFSC) for each specific crop type, as well as a land opportunity factor. The direct input costs and land factor will be established and applied across the province, though there will be different costs included for dryland and irrigated crops.

Coverage becomes individualized

Current list of NCII Eligible Crops for 2015 – not exclusive

As an NCII client participates in the program and provides agronomic information, that client’s yield information will start to factor into the coverage level for his crop. This means that with continuous participation, a client’s coverage becomes more individualized and will move away from the straight provincially set coverage level for that crop. Though this model provides some level of insurance coverage, it is not as high as coverage provided under the standard insurance for established crops. NCII is only available to clients who have a current multi-peril insurance contract for established annual crops, as NCII indemnities will be determined on the client’s crop year experience on the established crops. Due to a lack of experience with new and non-traditional crops, AFSC will base indemnities on a client’s experience with his insured annual crops. For example, a 40 per cent production loss on a client’s insured wheat, canola and barley, will result in a 40 per cent indemnity loss calculated for the NCII insured crop. AFSC reserves the right to not offer insurance under NCII if the crop is deemed to be unviable for the location of the crop, or because information on a crop is so limited that AFSC can’t determine direct input costs. Additionally, crops that previously only could be insured under Straight Hail can now be insured under NCII with access to Hail Endorsement. As crops are

added to NCII, AFSC will determine if that crop is eligible for hail coverage. All crops offered hail coverage under NCII will qualify for Hail Endorsement. NCII was developed to encourage diversification of crops in Alberta. Not only does NCII provide coverage insurance, but the presence of this program can aid in the establishment of new supporting industry (i.e. processing facilities) as given the ability to transfer some risk, producers may be more likely to produce newer crops. If you are interested in NCII, please contact AFSC regarding coverage on crops you are considering for 2015. As can be expected, gathering the information to calculate coverage for an NCII crop takes time. Clients interested in participating in NCII are encouraged to inquire early on the crop coverage levels and eligibility as various eligibility rules do apply.

The majority of yield potential is determined at flag-leaf. This is no time to compromise.

Because up to 65% of the crop’s yield potential is determined at flag-leaf1, disease control is critical at this stage. Twinline® doesn’t stop there. Unlike other fungicides, in addition to exceptional disease control, it delivers the unique plant health benefits of AgCelence®2. In short that means greener, larger leaves and stronger stems, resulting in higher yield potential3. So it’s no wonder Twinline is ranked the #1 leaf disease fungicide by growers4. Check it out for yourself at agsolutions.ca/twinline or call AgSolutions® Customer Care at 1-877-371-BASF (2273).

HGCA Wheat disease management guide, www.hgca.com, 2012. 2 AgCelence benefits refer to products that contain the active ingredient pyraclostrobin. All comparisons are to untreated, unless otherwise stated. 4 Stratus, 2013.

CLUBROOT

LIVES IN THE SOIL. SO NATURALLY WE PUT CLUBROOT

RESISTANCE IN OUR SEED. NEW HYBRID

We believe the best way to minimize your risk of getting clubroot is to grow canola with built-in resistance to clubroot. That’s why more growers count on Pioneer brand canola hybrids that contain the Pioneer Protector clubroot resistance trait built right into the seed. Because, like you, we want your crop and your yield protected at all times. ®
