Another close call for hog sector The deadly virus was recently found in a transport trailer that was supposed to have been disinfected before crossing the border

Top scientist challenges beef industry to do better Yes, anti-meat activists distort the facts, says Tim McAllister — but ‘there is science that supports their position’

lberta hog producers are being warned to stay vigilant following the recent discovery of the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus in a livestock trailer.

The “weak” positive sample was found in a trailer during routine monitoring several weeks ago.

“What it means for us is that we are still being exposed to the PED virus through animal transport,” said Dr. Egan Brockhoff, a swine veterinarian with Prairie Swine Health Services in Red Deer.

“Just like we’ve said all along, we think animal transport and contaminated transport are our greatest risk in the province of Alberta. This just underscores that.”

Porcine epidemic diarrhea is a viral disease that causes vomiting, diarrhea, and high death loss in pigs. While reasonably controlled in Canada, it is endemic in the United States, and half of the entire American sow herd is infected. The disease has been in Canada for three years and while

t’s no secret the beef industry is under attack from environmentalists and activists — or that they frequently distort the truth.

“They have an agenda that they are trying to gain information to support — they’re looking for things that have gone awry in the industry, and there have been problems,” renowned Alberta cattle researcher Tim McAllister said at the

Don’t wait

inaugural Canadian Beef Industry Conference.

“They’re looking for those mistakes to build up as much press coverage to build up those issues as much as they can…

They often exaggerate the outcomes of those events and they are very narrow in scope.”

Those comments had the audience nodding in agreement, but McAllister also had frank words for the crowd of several hundred ranchers and industry players.

“I’d like to say all those people are absolutely 100 per cent full of crap, but the

truth is, they’re not,” said the Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada scientist.

“There is data, there is science that supports their position as well. Maybe not to the extent that they’d like to make everybody believe it does, but there is science to support their position.”

And that means the cattle sector has to respond.

“There are things we do that upset the public,” he said. “We have to be aware of those things ourselves and those are prac-

Piedmontese ‘the beef of the future?’

There’s just one herd in Alberta, but rancher Peter DenOudsten says yield and taste give the Italian breed a big advantage

BY JENNIFER BLAIR AF Staff / Lacombe

P

eter DenOudsten never intended to become a Piedmontese cattle producer when he bought a few cows in the late ’80s to graze off some grassland he couldn’t crop.

“I only had a few cows and it wasn’t worth having a bull around, so I just got Dad to artificially inseminate them with some beef semen he had,” said DenOudsten, who operates Peony Farms near Lacombe with wife, Emma and their three children.

“He used this breed called Piedmontese. It didn’t matter to me at the time. I figured I’d just check out what it was.

“But the more I checked into it, the more I realized this is the beef of the future.”

DenOudsten started out with 10 embryos from a breeder in Saskatchewan, and “that went very well.” He bought another 10 embryos, and he’s been growing ever since, expanding into purebred Piedmontese breeding stock.

Now, the DenOudsten family has approximately 150 purebred Piedmontese cows and bred heifers and a total herd of over 400 cows — the largest Piedmontese herd in Canada and the only one in Alberta.

“We raise breeding stock,” said DenOudsten. “We’ve been flushing our own high-end genetics and multiplying them that way, as well as natural births. The majority of the bulls gets sold into the U.S., because they have a very welldeveloped Piedmontese meat program down there.”

The Canadian meat program, on the other hand, hasn’t grown much since the breed was first introduced to Canada in 1980, and despite DenOudsten’s early predictions that Piedmontese was ‘the beef of the future,’ there are only around 30 Piedmontese cattle producers in Canada, more than half of which are in Quebec.

“When Piedmontese came into North America, it was just at the time when the grading system was changing to emphasize marbling.

As a lean breed, the Piedmontese have a little bit of marbling, but not excess marbling,” said DenOudsten.

“So they weren’t attracting the premiums from the commodity market. There basically was no market where you could get a consistent premium on a Piedmontese animal. There just wasn’t an incentive for people to switch to Piedmontese.

Peter DenOudsten, of Lacombe, has grown his Piedmontese cattle operation from a few cows in the late ’80s to the largest herd in Canada. PHOTO: JENNIFER BLAIR “Over the last few years, the beef industry as a whole has gone very well, and when things are going very well, people are even more reluctant to change. We’re starting to see the shift, but people are very afraid of change.”

Yield advantage

But making the switch is starting to make good financial sense for producers. Piedmontese cattle are a double-muscled breed, so the animals consistently yield higher — without any added input costs.

“On a hanging weight compared to live weight, they’re probably about five per cent more yield,” said DenOudsten. “But the real gain is on salable cuts. That’s where you’re gaining on a five to seven per cent range. There is a lot more salable meat on a Piedmontese animal compared to an Angus.”

Most producers shy away from double-muscled breeds because of calving problems associated with a larger birth weight, but Piedmontese cattle are born without double muscling, only developing it one to three months after birth.

“The Piedmontese don’t develop the double muscling until after they’re born, and they’re also a fine-boned animal, so the calves are long and slen-

der when they’re born. When you use them as a terminal cross, it’s very easy calving.”

For that reason, the breed works best as a “terminal sire,” said DenOudsten.

“All you have to do is use a Piedmontese bull on a cow herd that works well in your environment and you get this marked increase in salable meat,” he said. “If they get crossed with a British breed, they marble very well, but if they get crossed with a leaner continental breed, they don’t express very much marbling.”

But even without the marbling, Piedmontese are “consistently tender,” thanks to an inactive myostatin gene that increases muscularity and tenderness while reducing the fat content in the beef.

“Piedmontese consistently have more meat, but they’re also consistently tender,” said DenOudsten.

“We’ve actually slaughtered a 10-year-old cow, and the butcher was just amazed — ‘What do you mean it’s 10 years old?’

Customers ‘for life’

“It’s very useful in marketing, because people have the same eating experience every time.”

The DenOudstens have partnered with Messinger Meats,

a meat processor and butcher shop in Mirror, to market the beef, primarily in the Italian centres in Calgary and Edmonton and Sinnott’s Independent Grocer in Red Deer. So far, demand has kept pace with supply.

“Since we’ve partnered with Messinger Meats, it’s been able to market everything we could produce,” said DenOudsten, adding that the premium he receives for his beef is “well above” commodity market prices.

“At this point in time, we’re slaughtering five to six animals a week. That’s enough to supply those existing markets right now.”

But the DenOudstens are looking ahead to future growth as demand starts to outstrip supply.

“It’s a problem of trying to get enough supply. In the cattle business, if you decide you want more production, we’re talking a 2-1/2-year process before you actually have product available,” he said.

“We’re beginning now to try and partner with local farmers to use our Piedmontese bulls on their cows so we can buy their calves back, run them through our feedlot, and have more meat available to sell into these markets.

“We have expanded the cow

herd and we’re growing as the market grows.”

That market growth is a result of several recent consumer trends, he said.

“Aside from wanting excellent quality every time, there’s a trend toward local food and a trend toward healthier eating, which the Piedmontese falls under,” said DenOudsten, adding that Piedmontese beef have fewer calories, higher protein, and more healthy omega-3 fatty acids than commercial beef.

His Piedmontese cattle are also raised ‘naturally,’ without antibiotics or additional hormones, and come with a strict traceability program that customers appreciate.

“It’s a combination of all these factors together that has contributed to the growth of this program.”

And while the jury is still out on whether Piedmontese will be the ‘beef of the future,’ the breed has a huge growth opportunity in Canada, said DenOudsten.

“People are looking to source healthy food, and if you can have an extremely high-quality eating experience at the same time, once you have a customer, you’ve got them for life.” jennifer.blair@fbcpublishing.com

WHOAS reining in wild horse numbers Olds charity is using dart guns to administer a contraceptive vaccine that greatly reduces a mare’s chance of getting pregnant

A

n Alberta group is trying to rein in the province’s wild horse population and forever end a controversial cull of the feral horses.

The Wild Horses of Alberta Society (WHOAS) has just completed the first year of a five-year pilot contraception and field monitoring program, a first of its kind in Canada.

The provincial government granted permission for WHOAS, a registered charity based in Olds, to carry out the pilot. There are an estimated 850 wild horses in the province and so far the group has vaccinated 73 mares with a Zona Stat-H contraceptive vaccine, which makes them 70 to 80 per cent less likely to conceive. Sixteen mares have also received a booster, which makes them 90 per cent less likely to conceive.

“We go out in the field with our team of volunteers and veterinarians,” said Bob Henderson, president of WHOAS. “We have a large database of herds that are in our research areas. We go out and identify a mare that has already foaled and is in a strong herd, and we apply the vaccine to her.”

The team is covering an area of 490 square kilometres around Sundre. Wild horses have been known to roam the province from the foothills of the Rocky Mountains from Kananaskis Country to Nordegg, and have even been spotted near Edson and Hinton.

The vaccine, which is used extensively in the United States, produces antibodies around the mare’s eggs, preventing sperm from fertilizing her egg. The vaccine is applied with a dart gun shot into a mare’s hips from about 25 to 50 metres away.

“The stallion will still breed her,” said Henderson, who is based in Olds. “She’s still going to be able to stay with the herd, but for three years, she won’t be able to conceive. After that time, she can foal again and put her genes back into the herd.”

WHOAS’ team of volunteers, led by equine veterinarian Bruce Stover, has completed the darting for spring 2016 and will resume darting at the end of foaling.

The group is working with the University of Calgary, and signed a memorandum with the province to pursue the contraceptive program and a wild horse adoption program.

WHOAS, which receives no govern-

“There is no science to support the culling. Without good scientific evidence, these random culls are counterproductive.”

Bob Henderson

ment funding, is bearing the entire cost of the contraception and field monitoring through private donations and volunteer service. The group raised $16,943 for the first year of the program — the total cost to vaccinate one mare is about $1,100 with donated time and equipment factored in.

By the end of the five-year pilot project, the field monitoring information will be used to determine the effectiveness of the contraceptive program.

The wild horse cull has been controver-

sial and prompted large protests across the province. While there was no cull in 2016, 48 horses were captured in February 2015. WHOAS took in 28 horses from the cull, along with three other horses it rescued. The organization, which has created a wild horse facility on donated land, gentles and adopts out the horses, and also gelds males to prevent further breeding.

There has been no research on the impact of the horses on the rangelands or on the number of horses the environment can support. But they have been known to cause problems on private land.

“It’s usually the young studs, trying to capture themselves a girlfriend. They break down fences,” said Henderson.

WHOAS is still meeting with the government to discuss future culls.

“There is no science to support the culling,” said Henderson. “Without good scientific evidence, these random culls are counterproductive. We’re trying to convince them that the contraception project is the way to go — both long term for the horses and to benefit all the stakeholders — as the most effective way of managing the herds.” akienlen@fbcpublishing.com

A

few years ago I had what I now ruefully refer to as ‘a series of unfortunate events.’

It began innocently enough with a phone call one Saturday morning from a friend, wondering if I could help him move a couch.

An hour or so later, on a frosty March morning, we were wrestling it out of the side door of his house when I suddenly felt both feet slip out from under me and one ankle jammed against the foundation of his house so loudly I heard a pop.

Being a man I insisted it was just a really bad sprain and hobbled back to my place to ice it. After a couple of days it hadn’t got any better. In fact, the bruise was so pronounced the whole foot was turning black. Upon seeing the damage first hand, one friend announced, “Gord, that looks like a corpse’s foot. I’m taking you to the hospital.” Turns out I’d broken the ball off the big bone in my lower leg and required surgery to repair it.

A couple of days later, I got surgery and an overnight hospital stay, and was released to the world hobbling around on my crutches.

If the story ended there, you’d think, “so what?” But of course there’s a punchline.

About three days later, clumsy fellow that I can be, I managed to fall off the crutches and sever the connection between my patellar tendon and kneecap on the other leg.

Back to the hospital I went for a second, and even larger and more invasive, surgery to fix this new problem. For those of you keeping score at home, this left me with one leg I couldn’t put weight on for six weeks and another that I couldn’t bend for about the same length of time.

A good friend put it best when he came to visit me in the hospital and inquired, “So, basically, you’re just a really mouthy paperweight for the next while?”

All I could do was agree. I certainly couldn’t chase him down and make him take it back.

I don’t tell this story looking to garner any sympathy. It’s years in the rear-view mirror.

I’ve made a near-total recovery and picked up some new weather prediction skills while I was at it. And the perspective of time has turned the whole experience into a bunch of funny stories and a few valuable life lessons on important topics like patience and empathy.

Still, if I could go back to prevent it from happening I would. It was painful, disruptive and that knee will never quite be the same. And doubly so because I know with crystal clarity I could have prevented both injuries if I’d just slowed down for a few seconds and made sure I was progressing safely.

I saw the patch of ice I slipped on when moving the couch, but it looked like it was well out of the way of the path. I recall thinking, “we should put something on that,” but of course we didn’t. Then the reality of moving an eight-foot-long piece of furniture forced me off the path and right onto it so my friend could clear the door frame. The rest is very painful history.

As for falling off my crutches, I knew that I was struggling to adapt to them. I also knew there was better technology available for rent, such as knee scooters. I just hadn’t got around to getting one yet before it all caught up with me.

I do tell this story to you as a cautionary tale.

Every accident that’s ever happened always has multiple points when the whole chain of events could have stopped. It’s the reason safety advocates and even some law enforcement and emergency responders are loath to call events “accidents,” because baked into that wording is the assumption nothing could have possibly prevented it — when nothing is further from the truth.

The fact of the matter is Prairie farms are in the busy season. The days will be long, the pressures high, and too often inclement weather will loom. There will be a terrible temptation to cut corners. Fatigue will catch up with you. Sometimes risks will flat out be missed in the hustle. I know all of this and I know little can change this reality.

But taking just a bit longer can often be the most efficient way to accomplish your work.

After all, an injury is at best a time waster and at worst a crisis.

Accidents always spring from error of the human kind. They can happen very quickly and are irrevocable. Once they happen, all the wishing in the world won’t take away the effects.

I just want to wish you all the best for a smooth, profitable, and safe harvest.

You deserve it — and so do your families. gord.gilmour@fbcpublishing.com

I

attended the annual conference of the Agricultural and Applied Economics Association, held recently in Boston.

Conferences of this type are always tainted by the flavour du jour. Hence, no surprise that conversations were dominated by the current downturn in U.S. agriculture.

I was left with a couple of key takeaway thoughts for Canadian agriculture.

First, the next 12 months spell tighter margins across most sectors. For corn, demand is slightly growing, the potential for a record U.S. crop coupled with larger world production mean U.S. corn prices will trend lower than they are now.

Meanwhile a large wheat supply means that a price rebound rests on future export demand strength. There are mixed opinions on whether this is likely to occur.

For soybeans, anticipating South American production is difficult. Reforms at the end of 2015 in Argentina may reverse a long-term decline in seeded grain areas at the expense of soybeans. Meanwhile pro-

ducers in Brazil face cash flow constraints that can limit their production potential.

Hence, stocks are expected to tighten next year, supporting prices at very decent levels. Soybeans may be the only exception to tightening margins.

For cattle, there are signs that U.S. herd expansion is slowing (such as higher heifer slaughters in June). Projections call for a four per cent growth in U.S. beef production, with an additional increase in 2017.

The immediate future may be challenging for U.S. hog producers as projections call for break-even, or slightly worse, returns.

Dairy: Supply continues to grow in the U.S., with a potentially small increase in the price of milk coming in 2017. Skim milk powder prices are expected to remain low.

Secondly, global food demand is growing.

But so what?

We know the story: Population growth and rising incomes (mostly in the developing world) mean agricultural output needs to grow to meet increasing food consumption.

The most relevant issue for producers: What will the future trajectory of prices be?

To answer this question, one must compare projections about the pace of growth in pro-

duction versus demand. If demand grows faster, prices are bound to climb in order to trigger more resources (land, labour, etc.) into agricultural production.

A study presented at the meeting argued that the pace of increase in crop productivity is where the uncertainty about future prices comes from. And the most likely scenario is that, despite global crop production projected to nearly double over the next 50 years, prices are roughly going to be equal in 2050 to what they are now (after adjusting for inflation).

A similar story can be described for livestock prices, with the caveat that there is even more uncertainty with regards to longterm prices.

So what does this mean?

In the long run, it looks hazardous to build long-term business plans on the notion that agricultural prices will climb. The level where prices are now is probably a reasonable reference point to project future pricing trends. In the short term, the lower Canadian dollar will continue to buffer some of the lower price pressures recorded in the U.S., supporting margins of Canadian producers.

Canada prefers barriers to free trade even within the country Knocking down interprovincial barriers would create significant wealth — but politicians prefer talk to action

By Sylvain Charlebois Dalhousie University

I

t was interesting to see how a meagre 191-word document signed by all premiers on internal free trade was lauded as a major coup for our confederation.

The Canadian Free Trade Agreement (CFTA) was signed recently at the annual premier’s summit in Whitehorse. It may take months before we know what products are included in the deal, and what is not.

For years, restrictions amongst provinces prevent many food products such as dairy, wines, and beer to flow freely through our country. We can certainly celebrate the goodwill of our provincial leaders, but we should all remain cautiously optimistic.

The intent of the deal signed in Whitehorse is meant to revitalize the ineffective Agreement on Internal Trade that was originally

signed in 1994, at the beginning of the Chrétien era. After defeating the Conservatives who were in power for nine years, the Chrétien government was beginning a new mandate.

There was a sense of rejuvenation within the confederation. The political atmosphere was different at the time and provincial leaders signed the agreement with confidence. A little more than 22 years later, under a new Liberal government, we are witnessing the second coming of a serious determination to deal with our internal trade quarrels.

In 1994 several events took place soon after the deal was signed that changed the political spectrum.

People around the table changed and the overwhelming pleasant sentiment disappeared. Quebec elected a separatist government and transfer taxes were reduced to a point that Ottawa abruptly ended its honeymoon-esque period with the provinces.

As the political landscape changed, so did internal economic priorities. Nothing can prevent something like this from happening again. This time around, with Brexit, Trumpism and continuing disturbing terrorist attacks affecting many countries, the world is a much more complicated place.

One can easily see how CFTA can be forgotten.

The hard truth is that Canada is simply not a trade-focused nation, particularly in agriculture and food. We trade with the world despite ourselves. With our rigid quota-based schemes, tariffs on imports, provincially based marketing boards, and liquor boards, trading food products can be challenging in our country.

Internal trade strains in Canada speak to a significant constitutional paradox. While our confederation is certainly complicated to manage, our constitution is fairly easy to interpret. In fact, our constitution, which was

signed more than 149 years ago in Charlottetown, offers provisions for enhanced internal trades. Yet our forefathers never anticipated provinces to be in contempt of our own constitution.

In Whitehorse this year, the premiers basically agreed to agree, and nothing more. We may see an agreement in the future or we may not. Exploring options through a consultative process will bring us to where we need to be.

However, we should not be surprised that details coming out of working groups will likely become points of contention. Keep in mind that consultations related to this trade deal will be added to the 150 consultations on various issues that are already taking place in Ottawa. To say that Ottawa loves to consult these days would be an understatement.

In recent years most of our trade-related attention was given to major international trade deals like CETA and TPP. Years of work

were dedicated to the signature and potential ratification of both agreements. Yet due to uncontrollable factors both agreements now seem uncertain.

Time can be better spent on interprovincial trades where the economic terrain is less choppy.

More internal trade is desirable for all regions, all provinces, and a renewed economic focus amongst provinces is economically indispensable. A deal can provide a better chance for Terroir know-how to shine across the country.

In fact, CFTA has the potential to create significant wealth in regions. It could even be more economically influential than our current equalization payment scheme, which has proven over the years to support fruitless policies.

Biofuels are one of our greatest environmental blunders Proponents of biofuels are simply refusing to count their true environmental cost

By Gwyn Morgan TroyMedia

A

re biofuels really greener than the fossil fuels they displace?

In a recent column I pointed out that electric cars are only as green as the fuel used to generate the electricity they consume.

For internal-combustionpowered vehicles, much of the focus has been on trying to reduce carbon emissions by adding ethanol to gasoline and vegetable oil to diesel. These biofuels are sourced mainly from cereal grain and vegetable oil. Ethanol is manufactured by fermenting and distilling grain, while vegetable oil comes mainly from palm trees.

Biofuel has become an enormous global industry, producing some 100 billion litres annually. Mandatory ethanol and vegetable oil standards have been enacted in 64 countries.

But biofuels fail on several fronts.

First we need to correct the popular misconception that

burning biofuel produces significantly lower emissions than gasoline or diesel. In reality, there’s little difference. Essentially, all of the hypothesized emission reduction relies on the premise that, since plants consume carbon dioxide to grow, the carbon they remove approximates the carbon released when burned. This is the basis for the biofuel industry’s claim of zero net emissions.

But just as the zero-emissions electric car fallacy ignores the environmental impacts of electricity generation, the zeroemissions biofuel myth ignores the environmental impacts of production. And there’s a lot of evidence that these production impacts cause very serious environmental damage, while exacerbating global food shortages and creating price escalations.

Let’s start with ethanol fuel.

The United States and Brazil are by far the largest producers. In the U.S., some five billion bushels of corn are used annually to produce 49 billion litres of ethanol fuel through the same highly energy-inten-

sive fermentation and distillation process used to produce whiskey. That 49 billion litres of ethanol are enough to fill 65 billion standard whiskey bottles.

Multiple studies, including by the International Institute for Sustainable Development, conclude that the fossil fuel used to produce corn ethanol creates essentially the same carbon emissions as the gasoline and diesel displaced.

But that’s only part of the environmental impact. Rising corn prices led to the draining and tillage of ecologically important wetlands. And increased fertilizer use has sent nutrient-rich run-off into streams and rivers, resulting in weed-choked, oxygen-starved water courses devoid of fish and other aquatic life.

Meanwhile in Brazil, almost one million acres a year of carbon dioxide-absorbing tropical forest are clear cut and replaced by sugar cane for ethanol production. Studies show that the net effect is about 50 per cent more carbon emissions than by fuelling automobiles with fossil fuels.

Then there’s the food-orfuel issue. The cereal grain required to produce enough ethanol to fill the fuel tank of an average-size car would feed one person for a year. In 2000, some 70 per cent of global corn imports came from the U.S., but that important global food supply has largely been redirected to ethanol production.

So while U.S. Corn Belt farmers buy bigger tractors and more expensive pickups, international food-focused non-governmental organizations such as Oxfam cite biofuels as contributing to food supply shortages and price increases that disproportionately hurt the world’s poor.

What about the environmental impacts of producing palm oil for biodiesel?

Indonesia is the world’s largest producer of palm oil and the island of Borneo, in particular, is a great place to produce it, provided you first burn one of the world’s most important rainforests. A visit to this land is a depressing lesson in the unintended consequences of actions taken by politicians half a world away.

I have witnessed the lungchoking smoke as hundreds of thousands of square kilometres of rainforest were burned to create huge industrial palm tree farms. The same scenario is playing out in remote parts of Indonesian Sumatra.

How ironic that decisions aimed at environmental benefit are permanently destroying the lungs of our planet, obliterating the way of life of aboriginals who have lived in harmony with nature for centuries, and wiping out habitat for endangered species like orangutan.

A Natural Geographic article entitled biofuels: The Original Car Fuel, states “Gasoline and diesel are actually ancient biofuels... made from decomposed plants and animals that have been buried in the ground for millions of years.” Trying to replace these ancient biofuels with fuels made from plants grown today is one of mankind’s greatest environmental blunders.

tices that will have to stop. Those things we stop will have positive impacts on our production systems.

“The times are changing and the industry has to evolve with it. If we don’t evolve with the way the consumers are coming, with the Internet and the level of education they are achieving, this industry will suffer. I don’t know if it will go extinct, but it won’t be good for it.”

“We have to think of the consequence of our actions. There are things we do that upset the public.”

Tim McAllister

A complex picture

But the cattle sector also has to speak up and confront myths about beef production, said McAllister, who is currently studying greenhouse gases, climate change, carbon sequestration, use of water by beef cattle, and the impact of cattle on biodiversity and ecosystems.

While animal agriculture is blamed for rising carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere and global warming, the real culprits are coal and energy production along with land use change, he said.

“It took 50 million to 100 million years to put that carbon in the ground and create that oil and gas,” he said. “So to think that we can offset all the carbon that is being released by changing our agricultural practices and increasing our carbon sequestration is unrealistic.”

While increased food production means agriculture’s carbon emissions are slowly rising, emissions per kilogram of meat produced have decreased because of improved efficiency. McAllister’s research has determined that between 1981 and 2011, Canada, the U.S. and Australia reduced the carbon footprint of beef production by 15 per cent.

“This makes us among the most efficient producers of beef in the world on a carbon footprint basis,” said McAllister.

But the wider issue is more nuanced.

Because methane is produced in the rumen when cattle digest the fibre in forage, they produce more greenhouse gases than other livestock.

“The amount of methane released per kilogram of feed is lower for grain-based diets than for forage-based diets,” he said. “But when we talk about the intensive system of forage-based diets, we can argue that we’re using feed that has absolutely no value as human food.”

Grasslands filled with forage also sequester millions of tonnes of carbon, and prevent it from being released into the atmosphere.

However, if projections that global consumption of meat will double by 2050 prove accurate, then emissions from livestock production will rise sharply. But McAllister argued that production of methane and carbon dioxide, as well as water use in livestock agriculture, should be considered in cycles.

“We’re not talking about it disappearing or being generated and staying forever. It’s always moving from one form to another.

If you look at carbon dioxide as a whole on a global basis, there is three times as much carbon in the soil right now as there is in the atmosphere. That’s a significant store of carbon.”

That also means cattle producers should be managing their pastures properly and not overgrazing. And that’s another practice that is good for both the environment and the bottom line.

“Overgrazing will result in a reduction of carbon sequestered in the soil in the form of roots. It can also result in plants that won’t grow as well,” said McAllister.

Manure application can increase the amount of carbon in the soil while delivering micro-organisms not found in chemical fertilizers, he added.

When it comes to the water footprint of beef, it depends on how you make the calculation. Critics often claim it takes 15,000 litres of water to produce one kilogram of beef, but that’s deceptive, said McAllister.

Most of the water used in beef production is related to evaporation and transpiration, and is incorporated as part of the water cycle.

“About five per cent of the water is used by the cow-calf sector, the feedlot, processing, retail, and the consumer,” he said. “The rest of it is used for feed production. The logic of attributing all the water use to beef doesn’t make a lot of sense.”

The greatest improvements will come from sustainable intensification and using advanced technologies to improve efficiencies, which is what caused the improvements between 1981 and 2011.

“We cannot return to the way we farmed in 1950 and produce the same amount of food that we do today,” said McAllister. “Everyone has a right to their own position and their own decision, but we need to make them aware of the impacts that the removal of these technologies will have on the industry and on the environment as a whole, so that when they make that decision, they’re making it from an informed position.” akienlen@fbcpublishing.com

University of Saskatchewan develops vaccine for PED STAFF

I

t has taken Saskatchewan veterinary researchers less than a year to develop, test and prototype a vaccine for PEDv, a devastating hog disease that has killed more than eight million pigs and cost pork producers $400 million worldwide.

PEDv hit the United States in 2013 and spread to Canada in 2014. It was first discovered in Europe, and has become increasingly problematic in Asian countries. Occurring only in pigs, PEDv can kill up to 100 per cent of infected piglets.

PEDv is a coronavirus, a virus group which includes important emerging human diseases such as SARS and MERS. Using its new containment Level 3 facility, the University of Saskatchewan’s Vaccine and Infectious Disease OrganizationInternational Vaccine Centre (VIDO-InterVac) quickly launched a vaccine development project.

“Our new facility, InterVac, provided us with the containment infrastructure to develop a vaccine and demonstrate it protected up to 100 per cent of the piglets,” said Volker Gerdts, VIDO-InterVac’s research director.

With the support of the swine industry, the vaccine is now undergoing field testing in Saskatchewan and Manitoba, where it is being used to help protect piglets from a recent PEDv outbreak.

Industry organizations representing pork producers say the new vaccine is a very positive development.

“This is great news for the swine industry both in Canada and globally, as PEDv continues to threaten unaffected regions and impact areas where it is already present,” said Sask Pork general manager Neil Ketilson.

photo: wikimedia commons PEDV } from page 1 Alberta found a positive sample for the disease at a pig-handling facility in 2014, has never reported an infected herd.

The recent positive sample was discovered in a trailer that hauled sows from Manitoba to the U.S. The trailer was washed and disinfected in the States; loaded with commercial equipment; and hauled back to Manitoba before entering Alberta, where the positive sample was found during a routine weekly monitoring check.

“We notified the industry; we washed and disinfected the trailer again; and resampled it and it has since tested negative,” said Brockhoff, who developed the swine industry’s weekly PEDv monitoring network.

The sows hauled from Manitoba to the United States were all from negative herds, but the contamination could have occurred at any one of several spots along the way, including the Manitoba assembly yard (which had previously been

exposed to PEDv) and the processing plant that accepted the sows.

However, the incident will further heighten fears the culprit was the American truck wash.

Many U.S. truck washes use recycled water, which can harbour the virus. During the height of the U.S. epidemic, pig transport trailers coming from the U.S. had to be washed and disinfected at Canadian truck washes. But over the strenuous objections of the Canadian pork industry, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency has since lifted that requirement. Last month, Federal Agriculture Minister Lawrence MacAulay refused requests to overrule the CFIA, leading the head of the Manitoba Pork Council to describe the situation as a “time bomb.”

It’s a reminder to Alberta producers that maintaining proper biosecurity is critical, said Brockhoff.

“This instance underscores that the pork industry is a North American pork industry, and we’ve got animal movement north and

south and east and west,” he said. “There’s no such thing as zero risk — as long as PEDv exists somewhere in the pork industry in North America, we are always at risk of bringing this virus into Canada and into Alberta.”

To reduce the possibility of the disease, swine producers need to properly wash, disinfect and dry their trailers with a

thermal assist, before the trailers visit or return to their farms.

Swine producers need to follow proper biosecurity protocols when entering or exiting their farms and pig barns. Any transport entering a swine farm should obey correct biosecurity protocols, which include the use of boot covers and proper disposal of potential contaminants.

“We can’t think we’ve got this beat,” said Brockhoff. “Manitoba had new cases this spring.

This trailer found positive in Alberta is just a reminder to us that the virus is out there and we have to be very conscious with our biosecurity at all times.”

The virus has been found in Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, and P.E.I. “With the exception of Ontario, every other region has been able to control it, and Ontario is doing a great job and continues to work towards complete eradication,” said Brockhoff.

Although the virus is widespread in the U.S., the American industry has done a lot to control the spread of the virus.

“The spread is still continuing to occur, but it’s one step forward, one step back, instead of the virus spreading like wildfire,” said Brockhoff. “They’re holding their own now.” akienlen@fbcpublishing.com

It’s a good time for canola crushers

More cattle enter U.S. feedlots in July

Canola crush margins remain very wide, and are showing no signs of narrowing. As of mid-August, ICE Futures Canada put crush margins at about $130 above the November contract, versus $58 one year earlier. Current margins are their widest levels in over two years. Concerns over Chinese export demand, due to the looming implementation of new dockage restrictions, were weighing on seed prices. Meanwhile, tightening global vegetable oil stocks have boosted that side of the market. Canada crushed a total of 8.3 million tonnes of canola in 2015-16, nearly a million tonnes above the 2014-15 mark. — CNS

Cattle placed in U.S. feedlots in July rose two per cent from year-ago levels, says the USDA. Cheaper feed lowered input costs for feedlot operators, compelling some to buy more young cattle to fatten for sale to processors, said analysts. The number of cattle placed in feedlots typically picks up in July before tapering off around October when grazing pastures are less plentiful.

Heavier cattle that were placed in feed yards last month are expected to begin arriving at packing plants around late December, and that could temper a seasonal rally in cattle prices while keeping a lid on beef costs. — Reuters

Canola markets under pressure because of Chinese dockage rules China’s demand for soybeans supports canola values, but uncertainty weighs on canola prices

By Jade Markus

C

anola gained ground alongside U.S. markets in mid-month, but bearish external factors tempered gains and could add pressure going forward.

ICE Futures Canada canola contracts advanced in the week ending Aug. 19, following strength in the Chicago Board of Trade soybean market.

CBOT soybeans moved higher with strong demand from China. That demand is expected to be reflected in tighter ending stocks data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture moving forward.

While demand from China played a role in canola’s gains, it could also play a role in its declines. China is set to introduce a new dockage policy on Sept. 1, changing the amount of allowable foreign material in shipments from 2.5 per cent to one per cent.

The Canola Council of Canada and Canadian politicians have met with Chinese officials to discuss the change.

A number of rumours is circling the

issue, with industry groups saying the change poses a huge risk to Canada’s canola farmers and markets.

Processors are able to clean canola to one per cent dockage and build it into their basis costs, as it takes a little more time and money. But some industry participants say as canola is shipped through the system, it can pick up additional dockage.

“They’re not so much worried about ‘Can they do it?’ — they’re worried about whether or not the quality will be respected once it arrives in China,” one Winnipeg-based trader said.

Advances in the Canadian dollar against its U.S. counterpart limited canola’s gains on the week, as a stronger loonie makes the commodity less affordable for international buyers.

The Canadian dollar moved above 78 U.S. cents during the week ended Aug. 19, closing at 77.78 U.S. cents, up by more than half a cent relative to its U.S. counterpart.

with a bearish supply-and-demand situation, which could pressure the market moving forward, especially as the U.S. wraps up harvest.

Crop loss in the European Union has underpinned the market, but those bullish effects aren’t likely to last, as output from Russia is expected to supplement those losses.

Spillover support from the nearby corn market was also a feature.

CBOT corn futures gained more than a cent on the week, as strong demand perked prices up from a seven-year low.

Demand for U.S. corn is strong, due to lower production from South America, which has prompted Brazil to import corn from the U.S. However, the expectation for a massive U.S. corn crop could push prices back down in coming sessions. U.S. corn production is expected to reach 15.15 billion bushels, according to USDA forecasts.

Bullish effects

This year’s U.S. harvest going to be a big one Despite some mild drought damage, corn tour suggests USDA prediction of record corn and soy harvest is accurate

orn yield prospects were above average in central and west-central Ohio, but some fields were showing adverse effects from the hot and dry conditions earlier this summer, scouts on an annual crop tour said in mid-August.

Soybean pod counts were below average in this part of Ohio, however, those fields had more time to benefit from recent rainfall that could result in more bean pods and bigger beans.

The eastern leg of the four-day Pro Farmer Midwest Crop Tour began in Columbus, Ohio, but the state is a smaller producer and crop conditions here are worse than the two top producing states of Iowa and Illinois that will be surveyed later this week.

pHOTO: thINKSTOCK and eastern Indiana have suffered from moderate drought this year.

“Heading west out of Columbus, it didn’t look too bad, but there was a negative progression

as we got toward the Indiana border,” Meyer said.

“The corn ears just didn’t have the girth to them, you don’t feel the weight in them,” Meyer added.

Some cornfields were already nearing maturity, with most kernels dented and a few ears “dropping,” an indication that plants were dying.

Corn yield prospects after six

stops in Madison, Champaign, Shelby and Darke counties averaged 183.8 bushels per acre (bpa), up from last year’s average in those areas of 153.4 bpa and the three-year average of 169.2.

The tour does not make soybean yield projections but instead calculates the number of soybean pods in an average 3x3-foot square to gauge yield potential. Those averaged 804 pods, down from 1,092 last year and the three-year average of 1,234 pods.

“There’s no doubt that yields are higher than people were thinking a couple of months ago, but we might have seen the high point in USDA’s yield estimate for the year,” said another crop scout, a London-based agriculture futures trader.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture surprised grain markets earlier this month with massive hikes to its U.S. corn and soybean production forecasts, with average yields for both crops at a record high.

Hutterite colony blazes antibiotic-free trail You don’t have to sacrifice productivity or compromise health standards by going antibiotic free, say swine managers at Spring Creek Hutterite Colony

By Brad Brinkworth sermo.farm

S

pring Creek Hutterite Colony has become one of the first large hog operations on the Prairies to ship RWA (Raised Without Antibiotics) pigs to market.

The colony, located near Walsh, shipped 200 hogs to Britco Pork in Langley, B.C. earlier this month and sent a second load a few days later. Britco, a specialty pork-processing division of Donald’s Fine Foods, will sell the RWA pork in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland.

“We’re very excited about this — to be among the first producers of RWA pork in Canada,” said Paul Hofer, swine manager for Spring Creek Colony. “Any time you change a production approach you have to be very careful. We were a bit nervous at first, but we took it slow, got the right advice and implemented the right practices.”

The move to antibiotic-free production went well, said Mike Hofer, assistant swine manager. “The barn is clicking on all cylinders and the full flow of our swine production is now going out RWA,” he said.

“Average days to market, feed conversion, gain, even mortality — it’s either similar or often significantly better under the new program.”

The progress by Spring Creek may prove a tipping point for swine production in Western Canada and beyond, as more operations consider reducing or eliminating use of antimicrobials. Along with increased consumer demand for antibiotic-free pork, governments are also imposing restrictions on antimicrobial use. In the U.S., the Veterinary Feed Directive — which bans antibiotic use for growth promotion and feed efficiency and greater vet oversight for treating sick animals — takes effect Jan. 1. Similar rules are planned for Canada.

The issue is not black and white, said Paul Hofer, but the colony wanted to be positioned for the future by reducing reliance on antimicrobials as much as possible without compromising animal health and welfare.

“I think the future is coming this way... it’s what the marketplace wants and what consumers want,” he said. “We figured if we’re going to be in this business long term, then this is the best approach and we should get ahead of the curve.

“For us, animal health and welfare is still first and foremost. Part of our approach is doing all we can to create an environment where disease risk is as low as possible and where the animals are well supported, for example with nutritious high-quality feed and clean water. We try to keep the disease challenges down in the barn and keep a healthy gut in the pig.”

Sick animals are still treated with antimicrobials, he added.

“But we separate the treated animals out so they go to a different market not with the RWA animals,” he said. “So far we haven’t had to treat many.”

Cleanliness is critical, said Mike Hofer. That includes regular washing and intense disinfecting of the pens and rooms,

and strict biosecurity protocols are also observed. In addition, the colony uses bio-based feed additives (such as enzymes and nucleotides) to support optimal nutrition, health and performance.

“The feed technology has come a long way and is a big part of our program that we couldn’t have done this without,” said Paul Hofer. “It does a lot to make sure you get the same or better performance even without antibiotics. And bio based fits what consumers want.”

The colony also passed regular third-party audits to ensure RWA status.

“It has taken more work to run the program but it has been worth it,” said Paul Hofer. “We have less health issues and the results are better than ever. We feel great about the product we are producing.”

Railways asking industry to all pull together To move the coming big crop efficiently will require better co-operation throughout the supply chain, say railway execs

BY ALEX BINKLEY AF contributor

W

ith memories of the grain-handling chaos of 2014 still fresh and another large Prairie crop looming, the railways are calling for greater collaboration in moving this year’s harvest.

“To ensure success during this crop year, the broader supply chain must work together to collectively harness our energy so that the entire Canadian economy can reap the maximum benefit,” said CP CEO Hunter Harrison. “We have been preparing for this crop year for months and we are ready.

“The grain supply chain in Canada, like most efficient supply chains, works best when demand is well distributed throughout the year. The rail supply chain has returned to normal since the extraordinary crop and winter of 2013-14 and CP has continued to move record amounts of grain.

This means there is now excess capacity in the supply chain, including thousands of rail cars in storage ready to move the latest crop.”

Meanwhile CN says it’s “fully prepared to move the coming Western Canada grain harvest safely and efficiently over the crop year. CN has the motive power, freight cars and people to do the job.

“At the same time, the entire Canadian grain supply chain, from

While railway executives say there’s now capacity to deal with a big crop, the grain industry is a bit more skeptical. PHOTOS: CPR

CPR CEO Hunter Harrison says all the parts are going to have to come together to move the coming crop efficiently.

Prairie elevators to terminals at West Coast ports, will need to work collaboratively and at full capacity throughout 2016-17 to move the crop,” CN spokesman Mark Hallman adds. “CN will be operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week to do its part.

“CN’s operating plan is designed to enhance rail network capacity and to provide efficient hopper car cycle times between origin and destination. With the assets, team and solid operating plan in place, CN is ready to move its share of the coming crop to market.”

Meanwhile Wade Sobkowich, Western Grain Elevator Association executive director, says overall grain shippers are entering this crop year with an optimistic outlook.

While the comments from CP and CN are encouraging, disconnects remain between the grain companies and the railways.

Sobkowich points out while the railways call for 24-7 operation of grain terminals, that “will do nothing more than result in more sitting around and waiting for cars to arrive, and impose an unnecessary cost burden to the entire industry.” The important element is speedy unloading of rail cars once they are delivered.

“Grain facilities do not sit idle unless it is because they do not have rail cars,” he says. “When rail cars are presented at port terminal facilities, with appropriate notice and with a regular and consistent cadence, they are unloaded by terminal operators in a timely way.”

“Many conditions are different than those which existed in 2013, such as less demand for shipping in other sectors and an early acknowledgment of the large crop size,” Sobkowich said.

Back in June, the WGEA sent a letter to the railways and the federal government noting that the Prairies were heading toward a harvest between 63 million and 74 million tonnes with more than additional eight million tonnes carry-over.

“We felt it important to provide both railways with as much advance notice of these projections as possible, so you may ensure enough capacity is available to meet shipper demand for the upcoming crop year,” Sobkowich said.

The grain companies communicate their delivery requirements “to both railways on a regular and frequent basis, so the railways have a good understanding of grain shippers’ collective demand on a week-to-week basis.” The companies need to know “in advance the capacity it will be offering in the various weeks, in each of the corridors.”

Grain companies face penalties from the railways if they fail to load and unload rail cars in a timely way, or if they do not use rail cars provided to the elevator, he said.

“This places accountability on grain shippers to perform.”

Currently, the railways are not held financially accountable if they don’t meet their delivery commitments, he added.

Harrison urged the grain companies to make more use of Thunder Bay to relieve the pressure on the Port of Metro Vancouver.

Sobkowich says grain companies make sales in a way that returns as much value for grains, oilseeds and pulse crops as possible and pointed out the delivery route should be a decision made by the shipper, who is the customer of the railways.

“That is not for the railways to dictate, that is for us to decide,” Sobkowich said.

Thus far, federal cabinet ministers say they are monitoring the situation but for now are leaving it to the railways and grain companies to deal with any issues.

Milk costs and revenues up

Vets needed for meat inspection program

Alberta Agriculture and Forestry has released The Economics of Milk Production 2015, which details the cost of producing a hectolitre of milk in Alberta last year. Higher feed prices pushed up production costs last year, but were partially offset by lower costs for fuel, utilities and labour (on an hours-per-cow basis). Overall costs were up two per cent last year. Revenue was up by the same amount, largely because the volume of milk sold increased 10 per cent. Those gains were partially offset by a two per cent drop in milk prices. The report, based on a survey of dairy producers, can be found at www.agriculture.alberta.ca (search for ‘economics milk’). — AAF

Veterinarians are being sought to act as meat inspectors under the Appointed Inspector Program. Participants must be registered under the Veterinary Profession Act and licensed by the Alberta Veterinary Medical Association. “More participants are needed in many areas across the province. In some parts of Alberta, there are currently no appointed inspectors available in the area,” said provincial inspection operations manager Becky Best. Vets are appointed as inspectors for a three-year term to help livestock producers with emergency situations, so that an animal unfit for transportation can be inspected and slaughtered on the premises, allowing the meat to be sold within Alberta. — AAF

Traceability poised to take the next step — auto tracking of cattle The Canadian Cattle Identification Agency (CCIA) is tapping into new technology to make traceability fast and easy

BY JEFF MELCHIOR AF contributor

A

utomated tracking of cattle may soon be a reality.

During the coming year, the Canadian Cattle Identification Agency (CCIA) will be experimenting throughout the province with data loggers installed at farms, feedlots, and auction markets to track cattle as they move through the value chain.

“Movement is very difficult to track, especially when animals are commingling at a feedlot, an auction market, or on farm,” said Gordon Cove, CEO of the Alberta Livestock and Meat Agency, which is helping to fund the project.

“If this project is successful, whenever the animal goes somewhere the data logger will be triggered, the information will go into a network, and we will see there has been animal movement. It’s pretty exciting.”

The data-logging project is just one component of a larger CCIA initiative intended to prepare the beef industry for the possibility of future federal legislation that may require all industry players — including ranches that sell locally and producers importing cattle — to report animal movement from one premises to another.

“We’re looking at ways to reduce the administrative burden for industry and producers with respect to animal movement data,” said Paul Laronde, tag and technology manager for CCIA and the project’s designer. “Our goal is to make the reporting process easier for producers and other industry players by using technology to increase data privacy, improve data integrity, and reduce errors.”

“This is a key part of a larger, more complex traceability project underway at CCIA,” added Leigh Rosengren, a veterinarian and consultant who is the project’s lead epidemiologist.

“We will be presenting an update on this research at Traceability Symposium 2016 in Calgary this November.”

This small box — a data logger — could make life a lot easier on the ranch and at the feedlot by automating the process of tracking cattle.

Not user friendly

Currently, the cattle traceability process requires several steps before traceability info reaches the Canadian Livestock Tracking System (CLTS) database, said Laronde.

“Right now, if a member of the value chain wants to report a sighted event, the individual needs to record and report the animal’s unique radio frequency identification (RFID) and the unique premises ID for the source premises with a specific date. Those three points connect and give us a sighted data event,” he said.

“A sighted event records the sighting of an animal at a certain location. With enough sighted event records, we are hoping to synthesize animal movement data that will meet proposed reporting requirements, increase data integrity, and reduce industry’s administrative burden.”

Currently, RFID readings are downloaded to a computer, imported into a spreadsheet that the CLTS database can understand, and then uploaded

“We’re trying to make the reporting process quicker and easier to use.”

Paul Laronde

— a process that is complex and often very time consuming, said Laronde.

“Data processing time ranges from a few minutes to six hours, depending on the number of submitted events in the CLTS database queue,” he said. “If there are any errors to the submitted data, it must be resubmitted.

“Technologically, it’s a bit of a challenge if you’re not computer savvy or if you don’t have a family member or friend to help. We’re trying to make the reporting process quicker and easier to use.”

Goal is complete automation

The hope is the new data loggers will eliminate those headaches.

The data loggers — electronic devices about the size of a deck of cards — are already being used in the petroleum industry to autonomously monitor product conditions in remote areas.

The data loggers can not only send information directly to the CCIA via a cell signal but also “sorts out any garbage data and redundancy,” said Laronde.

“For example, if a cow happens to stand in front of the reader for a little longer than required and you get 10 reads instead of one, the technology will sort it down to one,” he said. “If we’re successful with this pilot project, all users should have to do is switch on the reader and technology should be able to take care of the rest of the automated data collection process.

“We are proposing to pull reportable data from commingling sites rather than have industry push it to CCIA.” The new system should also be more secure.

“There are no third parties handling the data — it goes from the RFID readers to the CLTS database,” said Laronde. “So privacy is increased; timeliness of data reporting is increased; and the workload for the producer is hopefully reduced if, in fact, we can make this work the way we think we can.”

The CCIA has contracted a Calgary-based company to develop a data logger specific to its needs and the installation process should begin this fall, he said.

But there is one big challenge — lousy cell service in many rural parts of the province.

“There are areas in Alberta where cellphone coverage is spotty so we’re working with more than one telecom provider to see who gives us the best coverage,” said Laronde.

“We’re also experimenting with various-size antennas.

“That’s another piece of the project we’re trying to figure out: Is it going to work everywhere in Alberta or just within 50 miles of Calgary?”

Come together: Beef industry gathers under one roof at national conference Inaugural conference shows there is an appetite for all parts of the beef industry to work together for the common good

By ALEXIS KIENLEN AF STAFF/CALGARY

T

hey came from across Western Canada and as far away as New Brunswick. And all of them were passionate about beef.

The inaugural Canadian Beef Industry Conference, held at the beginning of August, was more of a success than anyone anticipated.

More than 650 people from all sectors of the beef industry came from across Canada to attend the three-day conference in Calgary.

“We weren’t expecting a small group, but we weren’t expecting a group quite this big,” said Virgil Lowe, a producer with Bear Trap Feeders in Nanton, and one of the conference co-chairs.

The decision to hold a national beef conference came out of the discussions around Canada’s national beef strategy, released in January 2015.

“Virgil and I are both producers, so we felt that the appetite for this — not just from an organizational perspective — but from a producer perspective, was pretty high,” said Canadian Angus Association CEO Rob Smith, whose family runs a purebred operation in Olds.

“Honestly, we felt 500 (attendees) was achievable.”

Instead the three-day conference sold out. It kicked off with sessions explaining the four pillars of the national beef strategy: Connectivity, productivity, competitiveness, and beef demand. Breakout afternoon sessions delved into strategies attendees could use to

Bringing the entire beef sector together was the top goal for conference cochairs Virgil Lowe (left) and Rob Smith. The conference did just that — something young producer Rob Dixon called “incredibly valuable.” PHOTOS: ALEXIS KIENLEN implement the pillars. The conference also combined semi-annual and annual meetings of several stakeholder groups, and learning

and networking opportunities.

Organizers included the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association, the Beef Cattle Research Council, Canada

Beef, and the Canadian Beef Breeds Council with numerous volunteers and smaller organizations also helping stage the event.

Robert Dixon, a purebred producer from Vermilion and program head for agricultural business at Lakeland College, was impressed by the conference.

“I think this conference is an incredible opportunity to bring in several facets of the beef industry groups — that have been incredibly valuable in terms of our industry lobbying and being the voice of Canadian cattle — and being able to bring them together and have more communication,” said Dixon.

“Understanding what each group is going to achieve has been phenomenal.”

Dixon is a recent graduate of the Canadian Cattlemen’s Young Leaders program, which celebrated its fifth anniversary at the conference.

“There are several past alumni and mentors here, you can see how much this program has been valuable to the industry,” he said. “And we’ve had the ability to network with influential and key players in the beef industry in Canada.”

In addition to attracting younger producers, there were also a large number of women attendees.

“That’s because this is not focused just on meetings — it’s focused on the beef industry,” said Lowe. “We’ve identified who wants to learn about the beef industry, which is everyone throughout the industry, not just the grey-haired guys.”

The demographics of the organizing committee were also young, with more than half of the members under the age of 32.

“We have recognized that the last three years have been really solid economically, so there have been a lot more young people coming back to the industry,” said Smith.

“There’s been a lot of succession that if it’s not accomplished, then it’s certainly moving towards that.”

The conference also did well in terms of social media. During the second day, the hashtag #CBIC2016 began trending in Canada, thanks to tweets from conference attendees.

“Gen Y and millennials want to get together,” said Smith. “They want to get together and learn from one another, and they want to be able to engage and connect with the experts. So we wanted to create that as a focal point, recognizing that if we have our younger and less experienced folks with our older, more experienced folks, what could come out of this could perhaps be a revolution for us. We’re feeling like we might have taken some steps toward that.”

“Highlights for me included the sheer numbers and the interest from the attendees and sponsors,” added Lowe. “Those were the things I didn’t expect and that was great... We have people from all across the country and all sectors of the industry. I’ve talked to people from every sector and geographic region and they’re all very pleased with what we’ve been able to do.”

The conference will not be a oneoff. Next year’s conference will be held in Calgary and the event will move to a new province in 2018 to become truly national in scope. akienlen@fbcpublishing.com

ALBERTAFARMEXPRESS.CA • AUGUST 29, 2016

Study says there’s a big payoff from cattle research and beef marketing Economists use ‘econometric simulation model’ and find every $1 in checkoff investment generates a $14 return Staff

A

new study has found Canadian cattle producers receive a $14 benefit for every $1 in national checkoff fees invested in research and marketing activities.

The study, by University of Alberta ag economists James Rude and Ellen Goddard, examined the period from 2011-12 to 2013-14. It updates a similar 2010 study (covering the period from 2005-08) that put the benefit-cost ratio at $9 for every $1 checkoff.

“In a number of ways, the results from this study are even more encouraging than those from the earlier study,” the authors wrote in their report. “Although there are numerous sophisticated econometric analyses that could be applied to refine the BCR’s (benefit-cost ratios) reported in this study, that the impact is positive for Canadian producers is not in doubt.”

The study uses an “econometric simulation model that mimics the beef and cattle markets in Canada and the U.S.” “The model enables one to calculate retail and farm-level prices for beef and live cattle, respectively; final consumer demand for beef; production of beef; packer demand for cattle; supply of fed and non-fed cattle; and beef and cattle trade for a baseline situation and a variety of ‘what-if’ scenarios,” the authors stated.

The change in benefit-cost ratio for research, overseen by the Beef Cattle Research Council dropped from $46 to $34.50 during 2005 to 2008, while marketing by Canada Beef, had a benefit-cost ratio of $13.50, up from $7.55 in the previous study.

The Canadian Beef Cattle Research, Market Development and Promotion Agency — which oversees Canada Beef and the Beef Cattle Research Council — said the drop in the benefit from research dollars is a result of “‘diminishing marginal returns,’ which means as more and more money is spent on an activity, the marginal or incremental gains from it increase at a decreasing rate.”

Linda Allison, the chair of the agency, says there is a need for an increase in the national $1 checkoff.

“With the declining purchasing power of the national checkoff and reduced marketings in recent years, underinvestment is evident,” she said. “It is imperative that we continue to find ways to optimize the return for our producers across the country.”

“The work that the Beef Cattle Research Council and Canada Beef carry out continues to show great returns for our industry,” said Melinda German, the agency’s general manager. “By ensuring a sustained and increasing benefitcost ratio, we can continue to work towards common industry goals laid out in the national beef strategy.”

In a separate report, Canfax said the $14 is better than what similar studies on the payback from research and marketing have found in the U.S. ($11.20 generated for every dollar invested) and Australia ($6.20).

Researchers putting new sainfoin variety to the test There’s a lot to love about sainfoin save for its durability — but it’s hoped AC Mountainview can even prosper in a second-cut system

BY JENNIFER PAIGE Staff/Brandon, Man.

D

oes sainfoin have the potential to be a productive second-cut system, comparable to alfalfa?

That’s a question researchers intend to find out by testing a new variety bred by Surya Acharya at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s Lethbridge centre.

Acharya’s colleagues have established test plots of AC Mountainview and Melrose (an old variety) at AAFC’s research station here.

“We have all kinds of things that we are investigating with these sainfoin lots,” said Mae Elsinger, a range management biologist.

“We are trying a new variety and comparing it to an old variety and trying different seeding rates. We are also trying different mixtures, like 30 per cent grass, 70 per cent sainfoin; and 70 per cent grass, 30 per cent sainfoin; and a 50/50 mix.”

A perennial forage legume, sainfoin can grow to a height of three feet or more and is usually taller than alfalfa.

The stems are hollow and the leaves are divided into a large number of leaflets, similar to vetch. It has a number of positive attributes but also some drawbacks.

Researchers are looking at the potential of sainfoin in a secondcut system. mixtures of western wheatgrass, bluebunch wheatgrass, nodding bromegrass, little bluestem, sideoats gramagrass, white and purple prairie clover.

“We are testing out purple prairie clover. It is a very expensive seed, but it may be valuable as a non-bloat legume,” Elsinger said.

“It is a native legume so it would be adapted to our environmental conditions. It might also be adaptable if we see any effects of climate change and it may even have medicinal properties that may reduce E. coli in the digestive track, which is of interest in regards to the food security of beef.”

Mae Elsinger, range management biologist with AAFC is conducting forage research at the Brandon Research and Development Centre. PHOTOS: JENNIFER PAIGE “We are interested in sainfoin because it is a non-bloat legume, however, we know from the past that it seems to go out of the stand under our normal management practices,” Elsinger said.

The sainfoin plots were planted in May 2015 and fertilized with ammonium sulphate in May 2016.

One of the goals is to find out if sainfoin is suitable for a two-cut system.

“For the purposes of this project we are working with the universities of Manitoba and Saskatchewan, and they are interested in

cutting at the 50 per cent bloom stage, which was very early this year in the second week of June,” said Elsinger, adding Aug. 15 was the target for second cut.

Sainfoin matures early and gives particularly good forage yields under a one-cut system but does have a slower recovery than alfalfa and often yields less when grazed or cut twice (or more) in a season.

Alfalfa has been included at the site for comparison.

“It seems to me that the sainfoin flowers a lot earlier than alfalfa.

Maybe it has better potential for

a second-cut system, hard to say,” Elsinger said.

Researchers also have three other projects growing at the same site, looking at the production potential of native mixtures and native varieties of grasses and legumes.

“We have cicer milk vetch planted as a comparison to the other milk vetches, some native milk vetches like slender milk vetch, Canadian and American milk vetch,” Elsinger said.

The milk vetch was planted in June along with pure stands and

hanges to farm safety regulations are expected soon — and that might not be a bad thing for Alberta farmers, says the president of the Alberta Federation of Agriculture.

“Workers’ compensation or private insurance really is a great risk management tool for farms nowadays,” said Lynn Jacobson. “That protection against litigation is one of the big selling fac-

tors for workers’ compensation.”

Oneil Carlier, the new NDP agriculture minister, has vowed to extend workplace safety regulations to farm workers who aren’t currently covered by workers’ compensation or Occupational Health and Safety regulations.

Today, only around seven per cent of Alberta farm employers voluntarily carry workers’ compensation for their operations. But offering that protection — both for employers and employees — is one of the realities of farm-

ing today, said Jacobson, who farms near Enchant.

“There’s getting to be more and more hired help on the farm and we’re employing more people,” he said. “It gives protection from litigation and other advantages, and if you don’t have it, there can be some serious consequences.”

And farm workers today “aren’t just interested in a paycheque,” he said.

“They’re starting to realize, ‘If I get hurt on this job, where’s the protection for my family?’

When it comes down to it, a farm that has some type of

protection for those people is going to have a lot easier time hiring people.”

senior executive with CP Rail says the company is “well positioned” to move this year’s g ra i n c r o p d e s p i t e re c e n t cutbacks in staff and locomotives.

Grain is, was and will continue to be Canadian Pacific Railway’s biggest cargo, John Brooks, vice-president of sales and marketing for bulk commodities, said in an interview Aug. 6.

And the historic railway founded in 1881 is investing to move even more in the future, he said. “Make no bones about it, grain is king at CP,” he said.

“It is our life-bread. There is nothing we want to do more than move a lot of grain.

“I think we feel pretty good about our handling capacity… to move this new crop.” see CP Rail on page 7 »

High tunnel production has potential to extend the Manitoba grower’s season, says MAFRD’s fruit crops specialist Anthony Mintenko.

Cost and paperwork

Co-operator staff / Portage la Prairie

There are “some misconceptions” about workers’ compensation that have made Alberta farmers reluctant to offer coverage to their workers, said Jacobson.

“Some people don’t like that administrative role and the paperwork that is associated with the program at this point in time,” he said.

A

production system that extends the growing season, offers growers a competitive edge in the marketplace and potential to make more money sounds mighty tempting.

That’s why fruit and vegetable growers were out in large numbers at Hort Diagnostic Days in late July to hear more about construction of high tunnels.

This is the first year a variety of fruits and vegetables has been planted in the high tunnel built in 2014 at the Agriculture Agri-Food

Canada location in Portage la Prairie.

Growers are keen to hear what Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Development (MAFRD) specialists are learning.

High tunnel production is commonplace in other parts of Canada and in northern and central U.S. where nearly every type of fruit and vegetable is now grown, even tree fruits.

MAFRD staff are researching how high tunnels work in Manitoba growing conditions.

“We have a lot of recommendations from other places like Minnesota and Ontario about what to grow in a high tunnel but nothing for under Manitoba conditions,” said fruit

crop specialist Anthony Mintenko, who is evaluating day-neutral strawberries, early-season June-bearing strawberries, fall-bearing raspberries and blackberries at one end of the 100x15x7.5-foot tunnel. Provincial vegetable specialist Tom Gonsalves is experimenting with vegetables such as tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers at the other.

High tunnels are like greenhouses, except they don’t have a double layer of poly, and no permanent heat or electricity. But they have a similar function — they keep cold out and, conversely, heat in.

Cooler weather expected next year The Earth is likely to get relief in 2017 from record scorching temperatures, scientists say. This year is expected to be the warmest ever, breaking a record for the third year in a row. But a new annual record is unlikely in 2017 since the effect of El Niño is fading. “Next year is probably going to be cooler than 2016,” said Phil Jones of the Climatic Research Unit at Britain’s University of East Anglia. He added there was no sign of a strong La Niña, El Niño’s opposite that can cool the planet, and climate scientists say that while occasional cooler years are expected, the long-term trend is for continued warming. — Reuters

Zimbabwe’s parched forests fall prey to new pests Forestry officials in Zimbabwe say the country is seeing a host of new pests and that a changing climate is a major factor. “These pest outbreaks are partly attributed to changes in climatic conditions which are now making previously unsuitable geographical areas amenable to ‘occupation’ by these alien species,” said forestry commission spokeswoman Violet Makoto. The insects attacking Zimbabwe’s forests and plantations include the blue gum chalcid, a gall-inducing type of wasp, the bronze bug, and the red gum lerp psyllid, all of Australian origin, Makoto said. The commission is partnering with a UN agency on a biological control program. — Thomson Reuters Foundation

A look at recent weather — and the world’s climate Record heat, shrinking and expanding ice levels, a missed forecast, and a missing glacier are all part of the story

he first fall forecast is out and according to it, autumn is looking to be fairly cool across the Canadian Prairies — but that is only one forecast.

The rest of the forecasts for the coming fall should be out soon, so I’ll write a full fall forecast sometime in the next couple of weeks. Until then I thought it was time to once again look at what’s been happening weatherwise across the globe over the last month or two.

Let’s start off looking at the Poles.

As you may or may not know, those who understand what is going on with our world’s climate have been looking to the Arctic as an early indicator of the extent of global warming. Others, who are convinced that the current warming that the planet is experiencing has nothing to do with humans, have been pointing to the Antarctic to support their views. While I’m not going to once again dive into the differences between these two regions, I will take a look at what has been happening so far in the Arctic summer and the Antarctic winter.

The National Centre for Snow and Ice (NCSI), based in the University of Colorado, falls under the umbrella of NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) and NASA, and has served at the forefront of cryospheric (the frozen water part of the Earth system) data management practices since 1976. For some people, this just means it is a government agency that spews forth false data to push whatever agenda they don’t like. Personally, in this day and age, where raw data is being made available to anyone who wants to look at it, I can’t see how any big agency such as this can put forth false information and get away with it. (By the way, no I don’t believe that global warming is a big hoax and that all of the data is fabricated — as some who have emailed me recently seem to think. That said, do keep your questions coming.)

This map shows the total amount of precipitation that has fallen across the Prairies so far this growing season (April 1 – Aug. 17). With the exception of the High Level region in northern Alberta, nearly everyone has seen at least 200 millimetres of precipitation, with a good portion of the Prairies seeing over 300 millimetres. Extreme southern Manitoba along with southwestern Saskatchewan and part of southeastern Alberta have received amounts in the 400- to 550-millimetre range.

Anyway, according to the NCSI the current sea ice levels in the Arctic are at about 5.5 million square kilometres, which is a little more than two standard deviations below the average of about 7.0 million square kilometres. This is around the third-lowest level on record for this time of the year, but unless we see a large late-season melt, it doesn’t look like we’ll beat the record low of 3.4 million that occurred in 2012. Latest projections put this year’s minimum at around 4.3 million square kilometres. The Northwest Passage is now open, while the Northeast Passage (which follows Russia’s and Norway’s coasts) is still ice clogged. In the Southern Hemisphere, the maximum sea ice extent around Antarctica is approaching its maximum, and so far the amount of ice in this region has been right around average.

On a similar yet different note, the global July temperature records are in and were kind of

surprising. With El Niño coming to an end a couple of months ago and a weak La Niña developing, it was looking like the string of record-breaking global monthly temperatures would be coming to an end in July. But this didn’t happen.

According to both NOAA and NASA, July 2016 was the warmest July since accurate recordkeeping began in 1880. NOAA stated that the mean July global temperature was 0.87 C above average, which beat out last July by 0.06 C. For those of you who prefer the University of Alabama in Huntsville’s values for the lower eight kilometres of the atmosphere, it reported the second-warmest July in its database.

This is the 15th straight month of record-breaking global temperatures, according to NOAA, but with the advent of the cooler La Niña conditions across the Pacific, the chances of further consecutive months of recordbreaking temperatures are

low. Even still, it would almost take record-breaking global cold weather between now and the end of the year to prevent 2016 from being the warmest year on record.

I have to add a personal observation in here about this global heat.

Some people have a hard time seeing or understanding what is happening globally when they don’t see the same thing happening locally. I have to admit, I for one have been talking the big talk about a summer heat wave that will rival or even beat the infamous heat waves of the 1930s. Yet once again, we saw a summer with only near-average temperatures and no big heat waves. Well, that is weather — things happen on short time scales. To understand what is going on with the climate, you have to take a bigger look at things.

For example, I spent some time this summer in the mountains of southern Alberta and

B.C. and two things tied into climate change jumped out at me.

The first one was when I was in Kananaskis and asked about a hike to the southernmost glacier in Alberta. The reply was that it was a good hike but they didn’t think the glacier was there anymore.

Then I hiked up to Stanley Glacier. It was also a really nice hike with a great view of the glacier up near the top of the mountain. Then we bumped into a couple who had done the hike 20 to 30 years ago who pointed out that back then you could walk right up to the glacier.

I’m just not sure what it will take to wake some people up about what is happening to our planet.

ncreased hailstorms across Alberta have crushed many crops, and hail claims are soaring this year.

“We’re trending to be similar to 2012, which was the record claim year,” said Nikki Booth, communications manager with the Agriculture Financial Services Corporation. “At this point in time, it’s looking like we will not be as high as 2012, but we need to see what the remainder of the season looks like.”

Four years ago, the province paid out slightly more than $450 million on 6,898 approved claims (which AFSC calls “contracts”). As of Aug. 10, about 9,224 crop insurance claims had been filed across the province, including 8,363 claims for hail.

“The number of contracts we have paid out on is under the number paid in 2012, so at this point in time, we aren’t seeing the trend above 2012 like we were a few weeks back,” said Booth.

Southern Alberta had the highest number of hail claims, with the central and the Parkland areas following behind, and northern Alberta having very few hail claims.

Hailstorms were common across the province at the end of June and throughout July. Crops in southern Alberta have suffered from lack of moisture, with yields less than normal, according to the Canadian Crop Hail Association Report for Aug. 11.

This is a sharp contrast to the rest of

What started as a potential drought year has instead produced a never-ending stream of hailstorms. pHOTO: thINKSTOCK the province, which has experienced high levels of moisture, and flooding in some areas. Some crops are being cut for feed due to severe hail damage.

Alberta isn’t alone when it comes to hail damage this year, with claims also up in Saskatchewan and Manitoba. And the wet weather is also causing problems for adjusters, who can’t get out on the land to survey damaged crops.

Farmers need to be patient while waiting for claims to be adjusted, and should contact their insurance providers directly for advice about appropriate check strips, said Booth.

“There’s no typical hail claim,” she said. “Some payouts had quite a bit of damage, and some farmers have lost their entire crop. It’s going to depend on crop types and the age of the crop. It’s pretty varied. We won’t know until the early fall how much we’ve paid out in hail.”

Some producers, including those along Lacombe, Ponoka and Red Deer in ‘Hail Alley,’ have been hammered multiple times by hail.

Bad years often mean more producers will purchase crop insurance.

“Traditionally, we do find that after producers have experienced a challenging year, we do see an uptick in the number of producers who are taking insurance,” said Booth. “We did see a bit of an increase — about 300 to 400 more crop insurance policies sold at the beginning of this year — as a result of the dry conditions last year.”

Whether that trend will continue because of this year’s hail damage remains to be seen, said Booth.

“Obviously we’ve seen some pretty significant weather and this has impacted producers, but I don’t know if buying crop insurance is a trend,” she said. “We’ll see how many producers add on hail insur-

ance when they renew or purchase insurance next year. It’s too early to tell because those policies aren’t available at this time.”

While the final number of hail claims may not be known until October, AFSC posts weekly claim numbers on its website (www.afsc.ca).

“We’re trying to provide producers with as much information as we can, and what they can expect on the storm they have been dealing with,” said Booth. akienlen@fbcpublishing.com

Richardson cranking up canola crush, throughput at Lethbridge Expansion plans finalized, underway at crush plant Staff

The Yorkton plant’s upgrades, worth about $30 million, raised its crushing capacity to about 3,000 tonnes of canola per day.

A

gri-food firm Richardson International plans to put up $120 million to dial up the processing capacity of its canola-crushing plant in southern Alberta by over 55 per cent.

Privately held, Winnipegbased Richardson says the new upgrades at its Lethbridge plant are expected to boost its peak annual crush to over 700,000 tonnes of canola per year, from its current capacity of 450,000.

Richardson telegraphed these upgrades in the spring of 2013 when it pledged to “more than double” the plant’s capacity — which then ran around 1,200 tonnes per day — but it hadn’t finalized the scope, design or costs at the time.

The $120-million budget announced earlier this month includes new processing equipment installed at the plant last year — part of its 2013 plan to “enhance efficiencies at the facility through upgraded technology and increased automation.”

The budget also covers the construction, now underway, of a “modern” high-throughput canola-receiving facility, offering “quick turnaround” for farmers and truckers delivering to the plant, the company said.

PHOTO: Richardson International The new system is expected to be ready to accept deliveries in the fall of 2017, with capacity for 800 tonnes of canola per hour, which the company said will be a “significant increase” from the system’s peak intake today.

Those upgrades will be completed with “minimal to no dis-

ruptions, to ensure the Lethbridge facility continues to serve both farm customers and enduse buyers,” the company said.

“Increasing the speed of the receiving plant is a top priority for us to better serve our customers,” Darwin Sobkow, the company’s executive vice-president

for agribusiness and processing operations, said in a release.

In all, the capital upgrades at Lethbridge will “create a stateof-the-art facility that is very efficient for its size, positioning us to compete with the most modern canola-crushing facilities in North America,” he said.

Expanding Lethbridge’s crush to over 2,000 tonnes per day, combined with upgrades brought online in 2014 at its Yorkton, Sask. crush plant, boost Richardson’s total crush capacity to over 1.7 million tonnes of canola per year, the company said.

The Yorkton plant’s upgrades, worth about $30 million, raised its crushing capacity to about 3,000 tonnes of canola per day.

In 2012, Richardson spent $15 million for separate upgrades to the Lethbridge site’s canolapackaging operation, expanding it by about 40 per cent. That work included adding 33,000 square feet of warehouse space and bulk canola oil storage, and new automation for its oil receiving and blending.

Last chance to comment on producer car rules The Canadian Grain Commission is looking to license producer car loading facilities Alberta Agriculture and Forestry release

T

he Canadian Grain Commission is seeking feedback on proposed changes to the licensing of some groups in the grain industry.

If a grain-handling operation meets the definition of an elevator or grain dealer under the Canada Grain Act, it must be either licensed or exempted by the grain commission. Licensing implies that a bond or similar arrangement be posted with the commission to cover the outstanding grain receipts that a licensee has. The commission can grant an exemption if a facility doesn’t purchase grain from producers or if it does not pose a significant risk to the grain quality assurance system.

The proposed changes would affect producer car loading facilities, grain agents, and feed mills, said provincial crop market analyst Neil Blue.

“The proposal is that producer car loading facilities would become licensed, but

still not need to provide a bond,” he said. “The new conditions would require grain that is loaded to be documented according to grade and weight. Existing weighing equipment would become subject to Measurement Canada compliance.

“The new rules would formalize the conditions that grain would be required to be loaded into a rail car and that the loading facility would not be allowed to purchase grain from producers or deal in grain.”

Grain agents are those companies that act on behalf of a licensed company.

“Under the proposed changes, grain agents would no longer be exempt from licensing, but agent companies that don’t buy from producers would post a security amount reflecting their low risk to producers,” said Blue.

The third group for proposed change is feed mills.

“In the last few years, some feed mills have failed, leaving producers with losses,” said Blue. “After consultations, the

CGC is proposing to license feed mills that buy more than 5,000 tonnes of grain per year.

International buyers get first-hand view of Canadian grain system The reliability of Canadian wheat is the theme of Cigi’s annual international program

BY SHANNON VANRAES Staff

T

hey come from 16 different countries, but have one thing in common — Canadian wheat.

Participants in the 49th annual International Grain Industry Program at the Canadian International Grains Institute, better known as Cigi, are in Canada to learn more about where the grain they buy comes from, how it is grown and how it is shipped.

“Partly we’re saying thank you to them for being good customers, but the big piece is just reassuring them again about the quality system in Canada,” said Rick Morgan, special projects adviser at Cigi. “We want to make sure they see how government and industry work together to ensure that what the customer receives is what they are expecting to receive.”

For Haitham Al-Khshali, director general of the Grain Board of Iraq, the two-week-long program has only helped to solidify his appreciation of Canadian wheat. While he would like to see more grain harvested in his home country, the current political situation has generated many pitfalls for agricultural producers there.

“They have a lot of obstacles, as you know they have a fight against

ISIS, this fight is really a great conflict between Iraqi people and terrorists and this takes a great effort,” Al-Khshali said.

“Sometimes you cannot go to a certain part of the country because of the fight, sometimes roads are closed for battles that happen suddenly.”

The so-called Islamic State or Daesh has also been aggressively targeting grain silos in the war-ravaged country, either razing them or capturing them.

“These people are crazy and they have destroyed everything in the country... this is not logical for any person,” said Al-Khshali, adding that ongoing military conflicts have also destroyed generational knowledge in Iraq. Youth may go off to fight, people are also killed at home, forced off their land or internally displaced, he said, leaving either no one to teach the next generation about farming or no one to learn. Education systems have also been disrupted.

As a result, Iraq depends heavily on foreign imports of wheat, particularly from Canada.

“We are really happy that we deal with Canadian wheat, we have dealt with it for a long time,” he said, noting Iraq had purchased 100,000 tonnes of wheat from Richardson only three months earlier and had made an order for that same amount three months prior to that.

Haitham Al-Khshali (l), director general of the Grain Board of Iraq and Emmanuel Mshelia of Royal Mills and Foods Limited of Nigeria both participated in Cigi’s annual international program. Photo: Shannon VanRaes He said that the kind of training provided by Cigi is exactly what his country’s millers and growers are looking for, and that he hopes the relationship between the institute and Iraq continues to be a strong one.

Nigeria has also been increasingly reliant on Canadian wheat in recent years, although for very different reasons.

“Canadian wheat is not new to Nigeria, but we have seen the

import of Canadian wheat into Nigeria double in the last couple of years, to be precise, I think from 2008 the import value of Canadian wheat was about C$12.3 million, which rose to about C$160.5 million by 2013,” said Emmanuel Mshelia of Royal Mills and Foods Limited in Karu Abuja, Nigeria. “And if you look at the figure for exports of Canadian merchandise to Nigeria in 2015, it stood at about C$469 million, which is a lot of growth.”

Demand for high-protein wheat, which is usually blended with lower-quality wheats, has been driven by a growing and increasingly urban population. That same population is also seeking convenient foods that require little preparation, Mshelia added.

Instant Asian noodles are one of the most popular choices for consumers and the main product produced by Royal Mills.

“Asian noodles were introduced into the Nigerian market I think about 22, 25 years ago, and it has gained acceptance by almost all category of people,” he explained.

“Because of the convenience of cooking, it’s very fast… lifestyles have changed.”

Royal Mills plans to double production in the next year, tripling it with the next five years, importing more Canadian wheat as it expands.

However, due to low oil prices and a deepening recession, overall wheat imports to Nigeria are expected to shrink in 2017.

“We are aggressive as a company and we have been able to come out with a very good product, which is very, very fast taking over the market,” Mshelia said, adding the characteristics of Canadian Western Red Spring wheat is particularly well suited to instant noodle production.

Europe trade remains mired in uncertainty Ratification of the historic Canada-EU trade and investment pact is anything but a sure thing

BY ALEX BINKLEY AF contributor

W

ith just two months to go before the scheduled signing of the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) between Canada and the European Union, things are up in the air.

There’s uncertainty over what the deal will entail, and nobody’s sure if ratification is going to happen.

The U.K. is on the way out of the EU, at least three countries are quarrelling with parts of the deal and three others are seeking changes, according to one European news source.

Politico Europe says six countries are either proposing amendments to the deal reached in 2015 or are seeking changes to it. Other European reports suggest this deal and a similar pact under negotiation between Europe and the United States will become lost in the fallout from the British decision.

If all somehow goes according to plan, the leaders of the 28 EU countries are scheduled to meet Oct. 20 to give final approval. If they do, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will travel to Brussels for a signing ceremony.

Once the deal is signed, Canada and Europe are to launch the ratification process, which could take into 2017 or longer. Parliament and the provinces will have to ratify the deal for Canada while the European Parliament as well as the 28 EU member-states will each have to ratify it for its provisions to come into effect across Europe.

Late last year, Canada and Europe announced a legal scrub of the proposed agreement had been completed setting the stage for the October meeting.

Ottawa trade guru Peter Clark says he’s receiving the same information from his sources about European opposition to the deal.

“Don’t expect these dissidents to simply abstain,” he said. “This

Canada’s proposed trade deal with Europe has not only drawn the ire of anti-globalization activists — like these ones in Berlin in January — but also has member nations demanding changes. Photo: REUTERS/Hannibal Hanschke is the first agreement of its type for the EU, so don’t expect the past to be a perfect indicator.”

Belgium, Romania and Bulgaria have all said they can’t sign the deal in its present form, while Greece, Poland and Austria want modifications to details of the

International } from page 20

agreement. Whether their opposition will be enough to stall or scuttle the deal remains to be seen.

Failing to ratify it would cast a dark shadow over the EU’s ability to negotiate agreements, as well as Europe’s interest in free trade with the rest of the world.

Trade Minister Chrystia Freeland hasn’t addressed publicly either the impact of Britain’s Brexit vote or the dissatisfied European countries. Canada contends that 90 per cent of the deal could apply provisionally, once the EU Parliament ratifies the deal.

As well, there has been no further word from Ottawa about British requests for a separate trade deal with Canada. Britain is Canada’s fourth-largest trading partner.

Federal officials say Canada and Europe don’t want to tinker with the deal, which was negotiated on the basis of Britain being included, for fears it could unravel. The deal is of considerable economic importance to both sides even if Britain isn’t part of it. It’s also a precedent for other trade agreements and its collapse at this point would be a bad omen.

Canadian officials say they don’t believe changes to the deal are necessary.

First In Innovation

Morgan said that presentations on noodle making, milling and baking were all a part of the program, which allowed customers to really get to know the Canadian system of production. “ T h e r e w e r e m a n y q u e stions asked and many questions answered,” he said, adding that the program has been adapted many times since its inception nearly five decades ago. The end of the Canadian Wheat Board’s single desk has also changed the interactions participants have.

“Asian noodles were introduced into the Nigerian market I think about 22, 25 years ago, and it has gained acceptance by almost all category of people.”

Emmanuel Mshelia

“We have a bit more opportunity to introduce them to some other Canadian crops as well, and some of their countries are also importing other Canadian crops, like canola and pulses and things like that,” Morgan said. “So we spend a little bit of time on those kinds of crops as well, and have presentations by groups like Pulse Canada and the Canola Council that didn’t happen in the past.”

There was also a presentation by Grain Farmers of Ontario, before the group headed to Vancouver to see wheat being loaded onto ships.

“When the wheat board was around, it was pretty focused on western wheat and now we have the opportunity to include something about eastern Canadian wheat as well,” he said.

Some of the participants had been in Canada before, but it has been decades since a representative from Iraq has participated. For others it was their first trip to Canada.

“This is my first and I hope it won’t be my last,” said Mshelia. shannon.vanraes@fbcpublishing.com

Experts advise soil testing right after the combine The tradition has been to sample for soil nutrients later in the fall, but there are compelling reasons to go sooner than later

BY ALLAN DAWSON Staff

I

Manitoba Agriculture soil fertility specialist John Heard, soil sampling the old-fashioned way, says sampling cereals fields right after combining provides some advantages. PHOTO: ALLAN DAWSON

t’s been the accepted wisdom to soil test as late as possible in the fall, but one soil test lab says it might pay to go earlier.

Agvise Laboratories, that has soil-testing labs in North Dakota and Minnesota and a large stable of Canadian customers, told growers in a recent email it may be a sound strategy to soil test right after the combine.

“Crop residue from spring wheat or other cereals is very high in carbon and takes a long time to break down,” Agvise said.

“Since the wheat straw breaks down or mineralizes so slowly, soil nitrate levels from samples taken right after harvest change very little through the entire fall season.”

The company added it’s done several sampling date projects over the past 25 years, which show the soil nitrate level in wheat fields is very stable all fall. Researchers from North Dakota State University also recommend soil sampling right behind the combine to get the best-quality soil samples, Agvise said.

Manitoba Agriculture soil fertility specialist John Heard agrees.

“Historically we have stuck to the ‘best’ principle, but the best principle is not always the most practical principle,” he said.

“The best would be to wait until spring, closest to the time when the crop needs it (nutrients). But that is not at all practical.”

Agvise lists the following advantages for sampling cereal fields following the combine:

All men age 40 and over are invited to visit the Man Van during the scheduled clinic times and receive a free baseline PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) blood test.

• I t provides very stable nitrate test levels.

• I t gives the highest-quality soil sample before any tillage occurs.

• Sampling an undisturbed soil profile means accurate depth control.

• Sample depth control is important for getting consistent results for tests such as phosphorus, potassium, zinc and organic matter percentage from year to year.

• I t reveals the nitrate level in the soil profile before volunteer grain starts taking up nitrogen a few weeks after harvest.

• I t allows more time to make plans for variable-rate fertilizer applications.

• I t ensures that each field gets sampled, avoiding bad weather, which can prevent sampling later in the fall.

Ideally sampling would occur in spring just before the crop is planted, but it doesn’t give farmers enough time to plan, Heard said.

If it’s a wet fall, which can result in nitrogen leaching, a farmer can adjust their fertilizer application rate, or resample, Heard said.

“Winter is not necessarily a downtime for farmers, it is planning time and they are far better to do their planning when they have soil test values in hand so they can do their budgets,” he said. “There’s just no time to do sampling in the spring. Fall soil sampling is our competitive advantage.”

By starting earlier soil-testing services can also do a better job, Heard added. With more acres of soybeans and corn, which mature later and are harvested later, there’s less time to get all the sampling done before freeze-up.

Soil test results are just the start of the planning phase for farmers, he said. Farmers need to take other factors into account such as potential yield, whether the fertilizer will be applied in spring or fall and whether it will be banded or broadcast.

“When a guy takes a soil test core when the field has been worked the consistency and the depth of the core are so marginalized. If you can take it before the field is worked the depth and the consistency are so much more accurate and what you learn from it is so much better.”

John Heard

“It’s nice to wait until you are at the finish line to make your decisions, but you may not have time to do that so you have to sample earlier,” Heard said. “And that allows the soil test industry a head start.

“Going earlier allows farmers to make some fertilizer plans in the fall.”

Steve Barron, business development manager in south-central Manitoba for crop input supplier Double Diamond, is seeing more interest in earlier soil testing.

“A lot of our customers plan on applying fertilizer in the fall and need the results,” he said.

“When a guy takes a soil test core when the field has been worked the consistency and the depth of the core are so marginalized. If you can take it before the field is worked the depth and the consistency are so much more accurate and what you learn from it is so much better.

“It’s not just about nitrogen and phosphorus, but all the micronutrients. If you can be more consistent with that zero to six (inch) core it’s going to help a lot with your interpretation for your seed-placed micronutrients as well.” allan@fbcpublishing.com

CP Rail raring to move expected bumper crop A company executive says the grain-handling and transportation system learned lessons from the 2013-14 shipping backlog

BY ALLAN DAWSON Staff

C

anadian Pacific Railway is ready to move Western Canada’s bumper 2016 crop, but is disappointed surplus system capacity isn’t being used now.

“We have been idle in terms of cars in service really since about May,” John Brooks, CP’s vicepresident of sales and marketing for intermodal and grain said in an interview Aug. 11. “So the network has a lot of unused capacity that has been ‘wasted’ here the last three or four months.”

Railways, grain companies and farmers learned lessons after a record crop backed up on the Prairies in 2013-14, Brooks said. One is to move out as much old crop as possible to make room for the new one.

Brooks said he expected rail movement would be “amped up” by the end of August and CP was getting ready for that by bringing locomotives, cars and staff back into service. It had more than 700 locomotives and 4,000 cars parked.

In June, the Western Grain Elevator Association estimated Western Canada would produce 63 million to 72 million tonnes of grains, oilseeds and pulse crops.

Brooks said one grain company’s latest estimate is 72 million tonnes — not far off the 2013 record of 76 million and well above the fiveyear average of 61 million tonnes.

However, CP’s network is better equipped to handle a big crop now than it was three years ago, having added or extended 35 sidings, giving system operators more flexibility, he said.

“The net result of that is we are seeing train speeds 25 to 30 per cent faster than our historical train speeds through these corridors,” Brooks said. “When we look at our network we feel good… coming into this crop year.”

About 80 per cent of CP grain moves is in unit trains of 112 to 134 cars.

Meanwhile, CP’s ‘dedicated train’ program has increased 15 per cent this year. Grain companies book trains for the entire crop year. The companies tell the railways where to spot the cars and where to deliver them. The cars must be loaded in 24 hours and then once delivered unloaded in 24 hours. Brooks said the round trip for a dedicated train is nine to 11 days.

The key to increasing CP’s capacity is faster and longer trains, he added.

Brooks said the railways do compete, but it’s unreasonable to expect them to move the entire crop in three or four months during the peak demand.

“Hopefully there is an improved realization that the more we can do to work together to move maximum levels the better, but also be smart about how we move that grain into different corridors, utilizing Thunder Bay and over… a longer portion of the crop year,” Brooks said. “The other component I think is we need everybody disciplined. It (system) has got to be working 24-7 collectively.

However, Brooks is optimistic about prospects for improved movement.

“Based on my discussions with the grain companies I think we all better understand what it is going to take. We have learned lessons.” allan@fbcpublishing.com

CP Rail says it’s ready to move this year’s expected bumper crop.

Buffer for problems

That’s fine on paper, Wade Sobkowich, executive director of the elevator association, has said in previous interviews, but every business needs extra capacity for when things go wrong, as they did in 2013-14. Not only was there a record crop to move, but it was the coldest winter in 100 years. Sobkowich, who speaks for Western Canada’s biggest grain companies, says the railways need capacity for when disaster strikes. He also argues the railways are near monopolies immune from normal market forces that would normally compel a business to have emergency capacity. That’s why his association wants regulations penalizing the railways for failing to meet service commitments.

Ox-eye daisy is sometimes sold in wildflower mixes, but it is an invasive weed that can ruin a pasture. PHOTO: SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTE

Ox-eye daisy not just a pretty wildf lower AAAF release

Noxious weeds

O I will wake the rooster and be the one who decides when it’s time to quit. I will succeed by working with whatever Mother Nature provides and place my respect where it is earned. I will actively pursue perfection.

T:15.5”

x-eye daisy is a noxious weed that has been spotted throughout Alberta, especially in central and southwest areas of the province.

It commonly grows along roadsides, waterbodies, fields and pastures, forest openings, disturbed areas, and urban areas. This weed looks similar to scentless chamomile and is often not perceived as an invasive plant because it looks like a wildflower and is sometimes sold in wildflower mixes. Consumers need to fully read the contents of wildflower mixes so they can avoid the spread of invasive ornamentals. (There are no native white-flowered daisies in Alberta.)

Ox-eye daisy is a problem because it can grow in a wide variety of habitats and thrives in lownutrient soil where other plants

are unable to grow. It produces up to 26,000 seeds per plant and the seeds can remain viable in the soil for two to three years. The plant can also reproduce by short, shallow roots (rhizomes). Cattle avoid the plant and so as it spreads, the amount of forage available for grazing decreases. Dense infestations can increase the amount of bare soil in an area as it does not provide good ground cover.

The plant grows up to one metre tall and stems are usually smooth, sometimes branched near the top.

The leaves decrease in size as they go up the stem; lower leaves have toothed margins; and upper ones narrow and alternately arranged.

Once this invasive ornamental starts to spread it can be very difficult to contain, so contact your local Agricultural Fieldman if you think you’ve spotted it. For more information on this or any invasive plant, contact your local Agricultural Fieldman (www.aaaf.ab.ca) or the Alberta Invasive Species Council (www.abinvasives.ca).

A trip back through time

Norman and Judy Erickson’s farm near Viking was the place to be on Aug. 13, when 74 antique tractors (all but three completely restored) went on the auction block. More than 1,000 people came from across the Prairies and Ontario, with online bidders joining from the U.S. and the United Kingdom for the sale handled by Dunkle Auction Services. A very rare 1938 John Deere “D” with the exhaust manifold and the air intake on the right-hand side (only three are known to exist in the world) sold for $29,000. The smallest John Deere ever made — a seven-horsepower LA model — sold online for $12,000. PHOTO: Dunkle Auction Services

Email campaign asks McDonald’s to take U.S. antibiotic curbs global

Canadian Young Speakers for Agriculture Competition

Join the young Canadians who are speaking up for agriculture.

Are you passionate about agriculture? Do you enjoy sharing your views with others?

Join the upcoming Canadian Young Speakers for Agriculture competition.

As part of this unique competition, contestants prepare a five-to seven-minute speech on one of five agriculture-related topics and present it in public. Cash prizes are available for two age groups: Junior (11 to 15) and Senior (16 to 24).

The 32nd annual Canadian Young Speakers for Agriculture competition takes place on Saturday, November 5, 2016 at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair in Toronto, Ontario.

For competition rules, a list of speaking topics and accommodation assistance please visit www.cysa-joca.ca.

The application deadline is Sept. 30, 2016.

A charity looking to fight the rise of dangerous, drug-resistant bacteria is asking the public to help convince McDonald’s restaurants around the world to stop serving meat and milk from animals raised with routine use of medically important antibiotics.

The fast-food giant recently took that step with poultry at its U.S. restaurants, U.K.-based ShareAction launched an online campaign enabling people to email McDonald’s CEO Steve Easterbrook.

The group, which promotes socially responsible investing, wants Easterbrook to prohibit the use of antibiotics important to human medicine in McDonald’s global chicken, beef, pork, and dairy supply chains, for purposes other than disease treatment or non-routine control of veterinarian-diagnosed illness.

“We hope this action will encourage McDonald’s to supersize its ambition,” said ShareAction chief executive Catherine Howarth.

Scientists have warned that regular use of antibiotics to promote growth and prevent illness in healthy farm animals contributes to the rise of antibiotic-resistant “superbug” infections, which kill at least 23,000 Americans each year and pose a significant threat to global health.

McDonald’s said it was premature to set a timeline for curbing antibiotic use in meats other than chicken, due to varying agricultural practices and regulations around the world.

Soybeans eye the acreage throne in Manitoba Eighteen years ago, only 118 farmers in the province grew soybeans — but the crop could overtake canola acreage by 2018

BY ALLAN DAWSON Staff

More than 1.6 million acres of soybeans were planted in Manitoba this year and acreage is increasing by double digits every year. Photo: Thinkstock

n 2013, grain market analyst Bruce Burnett predicted in five years Manitoba farmers would be planting just as many soybeans as canola.

Back then just over a million acres of soybeans were planted, while canola acres were around three million acres, making it Manitoba’s highest-acreage crop.

The intentionally provocative forecast was made to underscore how the combination of a warmer climate, improved soybean varieties, and favourable returns can influence farmers’ planting decisions.

But new soybean-planting records have been set every year since, including 2016, making Burnett’s prognostication less rhetorical and perhaps even possible.

This year, Manitoba farmers insured a record 1.64 million acres of soybeans — up 22 per cent from last year and up 65 per cent since 2013. Canola held on to top spot with 3.2 million acres (the same as a year ago) but wheat acres fell to 2.2 million (down by 300,000).

“Soybean acres in Manitoba are going up at the rate I expected,” said Burnett, who in 2013 was a weather and market analyst with the CWB and today has the same position with G3. “It would be a push to be equal to the canola area in another two years obviously, but it is going to be close.”

Assuming a 22 per cent increase in soybean plantings in 2017 and 2018 it would bring insured acres to almost 2.5 million by 2018. If some of the 700,000-acre increase came from canola, the gap between the two wouldn’t be that large.

“It does depend on the relative

price of these crops,” Burnett said. “Under different price scenarios you could see it where soybeans would get close to canola in the total area in Manitoba.”

Manitoba soybean acres could hit two million acres in two years, but getting much higher could be a challenge, said Dennis Lange, Manitoba Agriculture industry development specialist — pulses. Wheat and canola currently account for almost half of Manitoba’s 11.5 million acres of cultivated land. Soybeans’ gain will have to come from some other crops.

“That’s tough to do after a while because certain crops have their niche,” he said.

No matter what happens both Lange and Burnett agree soybeans have a strong foothold as a viable crop in Manitoba.

That was far from certain when Burnett and others experimented with soybeans in the 1980s, with limited success. At the time Baldur Stefenansson, one of the fathers of canola, suggested farmers focus on that crop because canola was better adapted to Manitoba. Farmers did and canola stole King Wheat’s crown.

Soybeans, as some people have said, have a snorkel at times.”

Crop insurance records show only 118 farmers insured 10,932 acres of soybeans in 1998. Average yield — 30.1 bushels an acre.

Eighteen years later insured soybean acres have increased 150-fold and the five-year average yield is 37 bushels an acre.

Another record for soybean plantings in 2016 doesn’t surprise Francois Labelle, executive director of the Manitoba Pulse and Soybeans Association.

“In the spring when we were doing our projections we had in our minds the acres would be at least 1.5 million and maybe higher,” he said. “To be at the 1.6-million-acre range we’re not surprised.”

A combination of economic and agronomic factors makes soybeans appealing to Manitoba farmers, Labelle said. Soybean prices are relatively good compared to other crops and production costs are a bit lower. Farmers don’t need to apply nitrogen because soybeans make their own, but seed prices are higher than for some other crops.

“Soybeans, as some people have said, have a snorkel at times,” he said. “They have been handling the moisture very well.

It makes it attractive in a year like this and in some of the past years we’ve had with excess moisture.

That makes people look more at them.”

But the crop isn’t foolproof and in the years to come farmers will need to ensure proper crop rotation or risk more soybean disease, insect and weed pests, he warned. allan@fbcpublishing.com

Any day with sunshine, and that has been rare in much of Alberta this summer, has farmers working their fields, whether turning them over, or harvesting grain and hay.

With such damp conditions, the quality of crops, especially hay, is suffering. This producer, west of High River, is working in between thunderstorms. Photo: Wendy Dudley

Stinky cheese ice cream becomes Czech summer hit Tvaruzky cheese goes into a ‘fairly sweet’ dessert An ice cream made out of a traditional pungent cheese has become a surprise hit in a small Czech town, with happy buyers scooping all the innovative producer can make.

Tvaruzek, or Tvaruzky in plural, is a mature yellowish cheese with a strong taste and smell that is more usually enjoyed with bread, possibly onions and, inevitably in the Czech Republic, beer.

“Lot of people think it will be salty, but it is really a fairly sweet ice cream with a Tvaruzky cheese taste,” café owner and ice-cream maker Roman Cincara said.

Cincara adds sugar and other ingredients to balance out the cheesy taste and the odour is somewhat suppressed by the low temperature.

He has applied to have his recipe patented and his café in the eastern town of Lostice, the home of Tvaruzky cheese which is popular throughout the country, was bustling with business the past weekend, selling all 400 portions available.

Customer Lukas Pupik was convinced.

“Superb. Sweet/salty, great. It really tastes like Tvaruzky.”

Tvaruzky has been produced in the eastern Olomouc region since the 15th century. It gained “protected geographical indication” status from the European Union in 2010. — Reuters

EU antitrust regulators have opened a full investigation into Dow Chemical and DuPont’s proposed US$130-billion merger, saying the deal may reduce competition in crop protection, seeds, and some petrochemicals. The EU competition enforcer said concessions offered by the companies last month were insufficient to allay its concerns. A final decision on the deal is expected Dec. 20. Dow Chemical and DuPont said they would work constructively with the regulators to address their concerns, but they still expect the deal to close by the end of 2016. — Reuters

HEARTLAND Native pollinators — it’s more than just the bumblebees

New study aims to offer Prairie farmers practical ways to create habitat for these ‘really good and efficient’ pollinators

BY JENNIFER PAIGE Staff / Brandon, Man.

H

ow pollinator friendly is your farm?

A new study being conducted at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada is looking to gather data on native bees and create an on-farm habitatassessment tool.

“We don’t have a lot of information on native bees in Manitoba but we are starting to get better information,” said Melanie Dubois, senior riparian and biodiversity biologist at AAFC ‘s Brandon Research and Development Centre.

“For the first part of this project we have 12 different fields set up around Brandon, generally within a 15-kilometre radius, and we are doing sampling in those areas to find out which pollinators are present.”

To get a better understanding of which insects are populating the area, researchers placed a number of plastic cups in field margins, which attract the bees due to their colour. Once the bees enter the cup they drown in a solution of propylene glycol and dish detergent and are collected a week later.

“We are focusing on the native bees simply because those are ones that do a really good and efficient job of pollinating,” Dubois said.

Honeybees have not been included in the study as they are non-native and are considered to be livestock.

They live in the soil

Dubois says there are approximately 231 different species of bees in Manitoba, including 24 different species of bumblebees.

“About 80 per cent of the bees in Manitoba live in the soil, and they need undisturbed soil,” Dubois said. “How much undisturbed soil do you think we have in Manitoba? Not a lot, so when we talk about habitat destruction for native bees it’s not just losing the flowers and food that they eat but it is nesting material too.”

The goal of the project is not

Manitoba has approximately 231 different species of native bees, including 24 different species of bumblebees.

Melanie Dubois, senior riparian and biodiversity biologist at AAFC is leading a research study looking at on-farm pollinator habitats. Photos: Jennifer Paige only to understand the current state of native bees in the province but also to develop an assessment tool to identify the quality of the local habitat and pinpoint areas of improvement.

The Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation in Portland, Oregon developed the assessment tool that Dubois is using for the study.

“It should work well here because it was designed for the upper Midwest but we are tweaking it a little bit and adding in a few more components on the actual vegetation,” Dubois said.

The tool, called Pollinator Habitat Assessment Form and Guide for Farms and Agriculture Landscapes, focuses on

landscape features, year-round resources, nesting habitats and farm practices.

Dubois and her team have been using the tool to assess habitat within one kilometre of their sampling sites.

The long-term goal of the study will be to train individuals to come onto the farm, determine which bees are in the area, assess the local habitat and provide recommendations on ways to bump populations.

Practical habitat

Dubois has been working closely with her AAFC counterparts to select appropriate plant species and establishment techniques for native pollinators.

“We are looking to determine

not only what species you put in but what is the best way to get them established and then how do you maintain it so it doesn’t turn into a mess of weeds?”

Dubois said. “There is no point of coming up with an expensive mix that then attracts weeds.

We are hoping to come up with something that is practical to do on a farm scale.”

According to the Xerces assessment tool, there are a number of cover crops and crops that provide pollen and nectar for native bees. Examples include alfalfa, alsike clover, buckwheat, crimson clover, corn, Dutch white clover, fababeans, red clover, sainfoin, soybeans, sunflower and purple vetch.

When looking at what is available to the bees, it’s important to consider how far they are likely to fly, said Dubois.

“When you are getting into the mid-size bees, they can fly about a kilometre but when you are looking at the really small bees, they might go 15 metres.”

The size of the bee and space between their shoulders is what determines how far they are able to fly.

The bumblebee can fly up to two kilometres, which is the farthest of all native bees.

“So that is when you start to get an idea that if you want to have a healthy and diverse pollinator species, you have to think about what habitat is available to them because they will only fly so far,” Dubois said.

A close call averted for Alberta beekeepers A decade ago, winterkill was up to 40 per cent annually — a rate that could have ravaged the beekeeping sector Alberta Agriculture and Forestry release

T

he good news is Alberta’s bee populations are currently strong and healthy.

The deeper story is just how close the province came to losing this priceless resource.

Medhat Nasr, provincial apiculturist with Alberta Agriculture and Forestry, has been closely involved in the challenges and comeback of the province’s bees in recent years.

“Over the past 25 years, average winterkill of bees across the province has been 15 per cent to 18 per cent,” said Nasr. “Starting in 2006-07, we saw a few years where winterkill was up to 40 per cent per year. We started looking at what had failed in terms of management practices to cause this level of winterkill.”

With funding from Growing Forward 2 and other programs, Nasr began the apicultural detective work of finding the causes behind this dramatic increase in winterkill. Time was certainly a factor. If annual winterkill losses continued to be 40 per cent, the province’s bee population could reach a tipping point from which recovery would be very difficult.

Beekeepers were understandably worried. Over the next few years, Nasr fielded 1,500 phone calls from producers trying to cope with these challenges.

While similar dynamics were playing out across North America, Nasr studied the question with specific reference to Alberta. One major contributing factor was that the varroa mite, a pest that affects hives and bees, had developed resistance to the chemical products used to manage it.

“We started working on alternative products to bring to the industry,” said Nasr. “We found a product in France known as Apivar that had no cross-resistance to other products around the world. The active ingredient was about to be deregistered here on the grounds that it had no use in Canada. Within eight months, we were able to secure Apivar for Canada.”

By using Apivar and implementing new management practices to enhance bee health, hive numbers in Alberta began to recover.

By 2015, Alberta had 295,000 hives, even higher than the last pre-crisis year, 2006, when the province had 250,000 hives. Aided by mild temperatures, careful management, and good varroa mite control, the winter of 201415 saw Alberta’s lowest-ever bee winterkill at just 10 per cent.

To guard against the development of Apivar resistance, Nasr helped shepherd another control product known as Hopguard to registration. In 2015, he also led development of the first bee health app in Canada, called

“Thirty or forty per cent winterkill year after year; if you add that up, we should not have an industry.”

Medhat Nasr

Honey Bee Health. The app, which helps beekeepers implement health management practices, has been downloaded more than 3,000 times by beekeepers all over the world.

As Nasr looks back, he’s proud of his role in the comeback of Alberta bee populations. All things considered, it was a close call.

“Thirty or forty per cent winterkill year after year; if you add that up, we should not have an industry,” says Nasr. “Our program was built on finding causes, giving producers new tools, and communicating better management practices. That is how we came out of the dark days to where we are today.”

A focus on improved management has allowed Alberta beekeepers to put the “dark days” of massive winterkill behind them, says provincial apiculturist Medhat Nasr. PHOTO: AAF

New meat products hit the spot for lamb producers

Lamb consumption: small but growing Canadians only eat, on average, about a kilogram of lamb per year — a small fraction compared to their consumption of pork, beef, or chicken.

But despite that, the country’s sheep producers can’t supply the market, with 50 to 60 per cent of lamb being imported every year, mostly from New Zealand, Australia and the U.S. But SunGold says lamb is the only red meat protein category growing in per capita consumption in Canada over the past decade. Also, Canadians eat more lamb per capita than Americans.

BY DIANNE FINSTAD AF contributor

A

n Alberta processor is putting a face to the farmers behind a new line of lamb products.

SunGold Specialty Meats’ Lamb Tonight line of meats began selling at Sobeys, Safeway, and Thrifty Foods stores across Canada earlier this summer. It features 10 readyto-cook lamb products, including lamb burgers, sausages, meatballs, kabobs, and seasoned ground lamb.

But along with making the lamb easy to use and attractive for consumers, it also wanted to share the story of its producers, so the labels contain pictures and background on some of their lamb-producing families.

Polson’s Farm is one of the featured operations, and Nathanael Polson has already lots of feedback.

“I have an aunt in Toronto, and she goes to Sobeys and sees the lamb with our picture on it,” said Polson, who’s breeding 1,600 ewes at his family operation near Tees. “So she tells her friends. It’s a connection, and it can snowball.

We’ve had extended family even in Red Deer see it, and all of a sudden, it gives more ownership to what we do.

“People today seem to need a story to buy.”

SunGold sees Lamb Tonight as a good news story all around.

“We’re taking underutilized cuts and creating more value out of the carcass, which is good, not just for SunGold, but also for producers,” said general manager Miles Kliner.

“The reality is we need lambs to be successful, and producers need to make a living to make more lambs.”

The Lamb Tonight line also features innovative packaging, made possible by a $1.7-million investment in both mixing and packaging equipment for the Innisfail

Putting a farmer’s face on food products has become key these days, says lamb producer Nathanael Polson.

“The reality is we need lambs to be successful, and producers need to make a living to make more lambs.”

Miles Kliner

Lamb Tonight line of meats offers convenience for consumers along with a way producers can get paid for underutilized cuts. processing plant. Those improvements were completed in May, adding 30 new jobs over the last few months.

“This project represents another significant investment by the shareholders into the lamb industry,” said Dwayne Beaton, SunGold CEO. “It also provides new retail packing options for our current fresh lamb meat and offal business.”

“The equipment allows us several new options for pre-cut, readyto-sell product for the retail envi-

ronment that we believe will help grow the lamb category, to better satisfy growing demand,” said Kliner, adding work is underway to find new ways to utilize culls.

Because of the lingering wartime stigma attached to the term mutton, processing older sheep has often been an expense item for producers rather than a return. So with a marketing plan and a more palatable term, the introduction of some innovative sheep meat products could be down the road as well.

Interacting with consumers is a priority for Kliner, and not a week has gone by since Lamb Tonight launched in June that he hasn’t personally dealt with at least one call or inquiry.

“A lot of them are technical in nature. The No. 1 question is whether the product is pork free, since it seems many people have severe pork allergies, and a lot of products use hog casings.

But we use all collagen-derived bovine casings, so we can maintain our halal certification.”

There are also no fillers or preservatives in the Lamb Tonight products.

Sales have increased since the product launch, but has been modest so far. However, Kliner said he’s confident the product quality and marketing effort, including producer stories, will drive demand higher.

“I’m excited. We see Lamb Tonight products as a gateway for people who haven’t tried lamb before,” he said. “We wanted to provide consumers with a more convenient lamb product. These value-added items offer a lower price point compared to lamb cuts.

“They’re simple to cook. We’ve had tremendous feedback.

People are looking for different choices.”

On the farm front, Nathanael Polson doesn’t mind the trappings of his retail ‘fame.’

“Value added is a good thing. It helps the bottom line,” he said.

“Margins are so small for both producing and packing lamb. We trust if they’re making money, we make more money.”

T

im McAllister has been awarded the 2016 Canadian Beef Industry Award for Outstanding Research and Innovation.

McAllister, who grew up on a cow-calf operation near Innisfail, has gained international recognition for his work on antimicrobial resistance, beef cattle nutrition, silage science, greenhouse gas emissions, E. coli 0157:H7, and prion science. He is a principal research scientist at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s Lethbridge Research and Development Centre, and also holds adjunct appointments at six universities in Canada, as well as universities in China and Ghana.

McAllister has conducted years of research to develop a safe means of composting specified risk materials, which is influencing new regulations for their disposal following the BSE crisis in 2003. His work on antibiotic-resistant bacteria in cattle is leading to the development of alternatives to antibiotics and he has led many projects related to optimizing nutrition for beef cattle. Most recently, he led a research project that found that the amount of greenhouse gas generated in producing one kilogram of Canadian beef has dropped by 15 per cent over the past three decades.

McAllister is active in a number of international initiatives, including the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organizations Livestock Environmental Assessment and Performance (LEAP) Partnership. He has produced more than 585 peer-reviewed scientific papers, 60 reviews, and 1,050 abstracts, and has also trained more than 60 graduate students.

Tim McAllister was presented with his outstanding researcher award at the Canadian Beef Industry Conference earlier this month.

U.S. watchdog clears ChemChina’s takeover of Syngenta Critics worry the deal and the proposed Dow-DuPont merger will hurt competition and make it harder for smaller companies to compete

By Greg Roumeliotis and Michael Shields Reuters / Zurich

A

U.S. regulator has cleared ChemChina’s US$43-billion takeover of Swiss pesticides and seeds group Syngenta, boosting chances that the largest foreign acquisition ever by a Chinese company will go through.

The decision should remove significant uncertainty over whether the acquisition of the world’s largest pesticides maker will be completed.

Syngenta shares ended trading on Friday at 380.80 Swiss francs (C$512), some 100 francs less than ChemChina’s offer valued the company at. They were indicated 16 per cent higher in premarket activity.

Reuters had reported earlier that the acquisition was in the final stages of being cleared by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), which scrutinizes deals for national security implications.

“China National Chemical Corporation (ChemChina) and Syngenta today announced that the companies have received clearance on their proposed transaction from the Committee on For-

eign Investment in the United States (CFIUS),” said a joint statement released by Syngenta on Aug. 22.

The statement made no mention of any concessions required to win clearance.

“In addition to CFIUS clearance, the closing of the transaction is subject to antitrust review by numerous regulators around the world and other customary closing conditions. Both companies are working closely with the regulatory agencies involved and discussions remain constructive.

“The proposed transaction is expected to close by the end of the year,” it said.

Syngenta had said in July it expected the deal to close this year despite concerns that U.S. regulators could throw a spanner in the works.

Syngenta’s share price has significantly lagged ChemChina’s offer of $465 per share plus a five-franc special dividend amid concerns that the deal would get through CFIUS. Syngenta derives about a quarter of its sales from North America.

Several U.S. lawmakers wrote to Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew this year asking for CFIUS to subject the deal to additional scrutiny over its impact on domestic food

security. They were also concerned about that the deal and a second one — a merger of Dow Chemical and DuPont — hurt competition in the industry and make it harder for smaller companies to compete.

“It is important that these transactions not be reviewed in isolation,” Charles Grassley, chairman

of the Senate Judiciary Committee, wrote in a letter to antitrust enforcers.

“I urge the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission to collaborate, as appropriate, with input from the Department of Agriculture, in their analysis of the agricultural biotechnology and seed industry

and the impact of these proposed transactions.”

Syngenta had said this year it would make a voluntary filing with CFIUS “even though no obvious national security concerns were identified during due diligence.”

Unveiled in February, the deal comes as China looks to secure food supplies for its population.

Syngenta is a key player in the market for pesticides and seeds.

It has facilities in North Carolina, as well as a presence in California, Delaware, Iowa and Minnesota among other states.

The CFIUS review is being watched closely by Monsanto, the world’s largest seed company, which is deliberating whether it should sell itself to Germany’s Bayer. Syngenta last year turned down offers to be acquired by Monsanto.

With a growing number of Chinese companies looking to acquire U.S. peers, CFIUS had emerged as a significant risk for such deals, particularly those with potential cybersecurity implications.

For example, in February, statebacked Chinese firm Unisplendor Corp. scrapped a US$3.78-billion investment in Western Digital Corp. after CFIUS said it would investigate the transaction.

Study finds kids’ brains ‘light up’ after watching food commercials Food commercials cause children’s pleasure centres to go into overdrive causing taste-based decisions STAFF

A

U.S. study says kids are more vulnerable to food commercials — in fact their young brains “light up” after watching food commercials on TV. Researchers at the University of Kansas Medical Center say that’s a problem because kids also make quicker decisions to eat “tasty” food, leading to poor dietary decisions.

“Our past work has shown that reward centres of the brain ‘light up’ in response to familiar food and non-food logos,” said lead paper author Amanda Bruce.

“What this study adds is that we now have evidence that children’s decisions are based more on taste (less on healthiness) after watching a food commercial.”

Kids make decisions faster, and

perhaps more impulsively, after seeing a food commercial, Bruce said.

The researchers studied 23 children ages eight to 14 years who gave taste and health ratings for 60 food items. Afterwards, kids chose whether to “eat” or “not eat” each food item – without actually eating them – while undergoing functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) brain scans.

The scans measure changes in blood flow within the brain, which is thought to reflect the activity of brain cells.

While the kids were making their decisions, they were periodically shown TV commercials, some for fast-food outlets such as Applebee’s or McDonald’s and some for non-food businesses such as Allstate Insurance and Comcast. Each set of commercials was followed by a set of 10 food choices.

“We now have evidence that children’s decisions are based more on taste (less on healthiness) after watching a food commercial.”

Amanda Bruce

In general, kids did not choose foods based on their health ratings and chose based on taste.

But after watching a food commercial, taste seemed even more important to them and they made their choices faster.

Kids make decisions more on taste than health, but even more so after watching food advertisements. PHOTO: THINKSTOCK *For commercial use only.
