he Canadian Grain Commission (CGC) proposes to rein in its growing operating surplus by cutting its two major user fees Aug. 1, — eight months earlier than normally would be the case.

If implemented, the combined fees for officially inspecting and weighing ships exporting Canadian grain will drop by 44 cents a tonne, or 24 per cent See CGC CUT on page 7 »

ow prices, high global supply and a near-record high on U.S. wheat carry-over have some Manitoba producers scratching their heads on what to put into the ground.

“If you look at almost anything, nothing really looks overly good, in my opin-

ion anyway,” Doug Heaman, a Virden seed grower and board member of the Manitoba Seed Growers Association, said. “The prices have all come down on most commodities. Hopefully it can only get better.”

Western red spring wheat sits at $6.26 net cash per bushel in Winnipeg, according to Manitoba Agriculture, as the bad news piled up in report after report.

T:10.25” On April 11, the U.S. Department of Ag-

riculture raised its U.S. wheat carry-over forecast by three per cent to 1.159 billion bushels as of June 1, 2017.

An April 27 report by the International Grains Council forecast global wheat carry-over would hit 240 million tons by the end of the 2016-17 season. The same report said average world wheat export values had hit a four-month low.

German researchers, leading an international consortium, say they’ve given us the best picture yet of the barley genome

cientists at Helmholtz Zentrum München, a German research centre, have published the closest look yet at the barley genome.

They recently published their findings in the journal Nature and lead author Heidr um Gundlach says they hope the new and more detailed barley genome will help develop varieties resistant to pathogens and tolerant of climate fluctuations.

Gundlach said the barley genome is large — about twice the size of the human genome — and has a lot of repetitive elements, making it difficult to sequence completely.

“This is why there was previously only a preliminary, incomplete and incorre c t g e n o m e s e q u e n c e,” Gundlach said.

Gundlach, along with colleagues in an international consortium, has succeeded in creating a new, high-quality reference genome sequence for barley.

Spannagl said they were able to decode the “architecture” of the large genome and get to the heart of how it works and interacts.

“Our data allows the first detailed analysis of agronomically and industrially important gene families such as alpha-amylase, an enzyme with special impor tance in the brewing process,” Spannagl said.

With their new reference, researchers also want to exam-

ine the natural diversity of barley at the genomic level. Their findings could significantly accelerate the process to cultivate new varieties, for example, in light of the climate change.

The next step calls for the sequencing, analysis, and genomic comparison of further types of barley.

Researchers want to determine important characteristics, such as resistances of individual varieties, and apply them to other types.

Proposed changes fuel return of advocacy group Hog Watch is back and fearful that proposed changes to environmental regulations could do serious damage to Manitoba waterways

BY SHANNON VANRAES

“Somehow everyone has got this idea that the province is going to be opening up the regulations so people can put manure on in the wintertime and that’s a fallacy.”

Co-operator staff

H

og Watch is back.

Proposed changes to manure management in the province have revived the dormant activist group.

Hog Watch first formed in 1999 with the aim of monitoring the expansion of Manitoba’s hog industry, but after a moratorium on new hog barns was introduced by the previous NDP government in 2006, the group disbanded.

Now, proposed amendments to the Environment Act under Bill 24 — otherwise known as the Red Tape Reduction and Government Efficiency Act — have the farmers and environmentalists who make up Hog Watch deeply concerned.

The group reconvened in Portage la Prairie last week to assess the situation and strategize on how best to address the Progressive Conservative government’s regulatory proposal.

Vicki Burns sits on the group’s nine-member steering committee and said she was “shocked” to learn about the province’s proposed amendments to the Livestock Manure and Mortalities Management Regulation or LMMMR. “I never imagined that we would go backwards,” Burns said.

“The bottom line is that Lake Winnipeg — and other lakes in Manitoba — have really been suffering more blue-green algae blooms in the last couple of decades and we don’t want to see that increasing. Some of that bluegreen algae is toxic and it has very, very serious health impacts for

any life that is depending on that water.”

How much of a role intensive livestock operations like hog farms have played in dictating water quality in Manitoba has been hotly debated over the last decade. However, Burns stressed that Hog Watch is cognizant of the fact no one factor is solely responsible for the health of Manitoba’s waterways and noted sewage from Winnipeg is a major contributor to Lake Winnipeg’s poor health.

“I think it’s important to make clear that I, and other people who have been involved in Hog Watch, are not opposed to the hog industry, we’re not even opposed to expansion if we could be certain that things were done in a way that would not risk phosphorus and nitrogen running off and getting into our waterways,” she said.

“But at this point, there has been no clear evidence or indication of what new science this government is working on that would

make room for a relaxation of the regulations.”

Bill 24 would affect several areas of regulation that impact producers and includes the repeal of the Manitoba Natural Resources Development Act. If passed this fall, the proposed legislation would also “remove general prohibitions from the Environment Act for the expansion of hog barns and manure storage facilities.”

The hog barn moratorium had been partially dismantled in the last year of the previous government’s reign through a series of smaller regulatory changes.

However, then premier Greg Selinger’s government stopped short of removing general prohibitions.

In an emailed statement, Agriculture Minister Ralph Eichler said that his government is “open to allowing the livestock sector in our province to grow in a responsible and sustainable way and welcome input from all stakeholders.”

He added the government’s move to eliminate requirements for anaerobic digestion systems for hog manure is based on an expert report produced by the University of Manitoba.

Commissioned by the NDP, Eichler said the report was previously unreleased.

“The report found the treatment unnecessary, elaborate and costly,” the minister stated.

“Additionally, proposed changes to LMMMR align with environmental standards set out by the Canadian Environmental Commission in a review of the hog industry. Other environmental restrictions on hog operations remain in place, such as the requirement for manure management plans, soil samples and the ban on winter spreading.”

Andrew Dickson, general manager of the Manitoba Pork Council, said he wasn’t surprised the group had resurfaced, noting there is room for all voices in a democracy. However, he added that some of the concerns

being raised about the proposed changes have been “alarmist” in nature.

“Somehow everyone has got this idea that the province is going to be opening up the regulations so people can put manure on in the wintertime and that’s a fallacy.

There is no intention in regulations or in the act to do that. I don’t understand where it comes from,” said Dickson.

Fears that Bill 24 will lead to the unbridled expansion of the hog industry in Manitoba are also unfounded, Dickson said, noting that after a years-long moratorium on new barns most hog farmers are looking to replace existing barns that are now reaching the end of their lifespan.

“That’s not an expansion, that’s just replacing the capacity you’ve already got,” he said. “We do need to do a modest expansion to make better use of some of the processing facilities we have in the province, but I think we’d be quite happy if we got a two per cent or maybe a three per cent growth in numbers over a period of time.

We’re not looking at a massive expansion in the industry.”

He added that the pork council and producers want to work collaboratively with communities if there are concerns and make sure the public knows what the proposed changes entail.

“We don’t want to get into a controversial situation where people are not accepting of these operations,” Dickson said.

Farmers and members of the public can take part in planned public consultations on the issue until May 12. shannon.vanraes@fbcpublishing.com

MASC president and CEO set to retire Neil Hamilton’s 36-year career in agriculture includes 28 years at crop insurance and the Manitoba Agricultural Services Corporation

BY ALLAN DAWSON Co-operator staff

M

anitoba Agricultural Services Corporation (MASC) president and CEO Neil Hamilton is retiring June 2.

Although planned for a while, it still wasn’t an easy decision, Hamilton said in an interview April 24.

“There are certain things I am going to miss about it, but it’s just time probably for someone else to take charge and carry on,” Hamilton said. “I’ve done it for a long time, but sometimes it’s good to rejuvenate and have different ideas. I am going to miss it for sure, but I just think the time is right for me.”

Hamilton, who began his career working on economic policy with Manitoba Agriculture in 1981, joined the Manitoba Crop Insurance Corporation as director of research and program development in 1989. In 1996 he was appointed general manager. Hamilton took on his current position in 2005 when the Manitoba government amalga-

“There are certain things I am going to miss about it, but it’s just time probably for someone else to take charge and carry on.”

mated crop insurance and the Manitoba Agricultural Credit Corporation to form MASC. Three senior MASC employees retired not long ago — Jim Lewis, vice-president of lending, Craig Thomson, vice-president of insurance operations and Paul Bonnet, vice-president of research and program development.

“I wanted to at least get through a year with the new folks to try to assist where I could,” Hamilton said. “ We’re through that transition.”

MASC is in good shape financially, he said. There’s an estimated $414 million and $56 million in the AgriInsurance and hail

insurance reserves, respectively, an MASC official said later. (Final figures could change once all 2016 claims are settled.)

The farm lending division is self-sufficient and enrolment in crop insurance (AgriInsurance, funded by the federal and Manitoba governments and farmers) is high.

“Our lending operations have really had a big increase in volume to the point where lending operations are self-financing and making contributions to pay for

other things in the corporation,” he said, including new computers. “That has been a huge success and I don’t take personal responsibility for that. It’s the good job of the people who work in the lending division, not me.”

About 9.4 million, or 90 per cent of Manitoba’s 10 million cultivated acres, are covered by crop insurance. While gratified with farmers’ participation, Hamilton said MASC can’t be complacent.

“We know we’ve got to keep changing to keep up with the industry, because this industry, wow, the way it has changed over the last few years is incredible,” he said.

For example, younger farmers want to do more business with MASC online and it’s working to accommodate that.

When asked about career highlights, Hamilton said it’s hard to single a few out.

“I really like this job,” he said.

“I would go as far as to say I love this job. I’ve always thought part of what is special about MASC, or crop insurance before that, is two things: we got to work with farmers, which I always like to do, although sometimes we didn’t

always agree. The other thing is we had a very specific program and very specific focus. When people came to work they understood why they were coming to work and why we were there.

They didn’t have to wonder. They knew what their job was and they felt it was important. I think the farmers also felt it was important.

It was a really good experience.”

Adding to that experience is the great staff at MASC, he said.

“It hasn’t been just one or two.

It has been one good person, followed by another good person, followed by another good person.

We have been really, really fortunate. That’s what makes retirement hard. You’ve got to move away from that personal aspect of it.”

Hamilton says there’s lots on his ‘to do’ list once he moves to the south-central Manitoba farm that has been in his spouse’s family. Asked if he might consult he replied: “I certainly wouldn’t be doing that in the short run. Maybe if I’m bored a year from now, but right now I am pretty sure I’ve got lots of things to keep me going.” allan@fbcpublishing.com

OPINION/EDITORIAL

Trump-eting doom

L

ast week Donald Trump, while playing his most important reality television role to date, came within hours of signing an executive order to cancel the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).

A report from the Canadian Press that detailed the contents of a leaked version of the order said the Gord Gilmour move would have given Canada and Editor Mexico just five days’ notice the U.S. intended to leave the deal.

Many on this side of the border have downplayed NAFTA worries, noting most of Trump’s concerns and rhetoric appeared to be aimed squarely at Mexico. There was lots of that present in the draft, to be sure. The document fretted over a “massive transfer of wealth” from the U.S. to Mexico, job losses and a huge U.S. trade deficit with that country.

Mexico was also blamed for an illegal immigration crisis and sweeping closures of U.S. factories.

Canada didn’t escape unscathed however. In the unsigned order, Canada was blamed for continuing “... to exploit the American dairy and lumber industries.”

The pretext for dragging the Canadian dairy sector into things has been a recent move by Wisconsin dairy firms to tell farmers there they will no longer buy milk from them to ultrafilter and then sell to Canada.

The filtration process, in simple terms, removes enough water from milk to create a protein-rich concentrate used to make products like cheese and yogurt. Because ultrafiltration is a relatively recent development, NAFTA allows it to enter Canada duty free, while other dairy products are subject to high tariffs.

Canadian processors liked these cheaper products for obvious reasons, mainly because they say lower costs make them more competitive. They were enthusiastic customers — to the tune of $133 million last year alone. Too enthusiastic to ignore, as it turns out, so the Canadian sector came up with its “ingredient strategy” in response, which will see lower-priced milk come to market for these applications.

It makes sense. After all, Canadian producers have been struggling with an imbalance in market demand for the past few years. After a couple of decades of dietary fat being painted as poison, public attitudes have relaxed and real butter and other full-fat dairy products are back on the menu.

The strategy means that the surplus skim milk that is processed into milk concentrates and other protein ingredients can be priced competitively relative to imports.

Here in Manitoba, the Ontario-based farmer-owned co-operative Gay Lea Foods teamed up with B.C.’s Vitalus Nutrition to convert an egg plant into an ingredient plant, slated to open later this year.

The dairy sector celebrated the move, saying it addressed the issues of the Canadian dairy industry and would allow farmers here to reach full production and quota allocation.

Unfortunately, it also appears to have given the sector’s old foes south of the line a new grievance. While the arguments aren’t new, what is new is the audience they now have in the White House.

In the past, this sort of a trade complaint would have been the subject of concerned White House noise making, a promise to seriously consider the issue, and perhaps a strongly worded letter to the Canadian government.

There certainly would have been plenty of outrageous politicking, but the most egregious of that would likely be confined to farm-state senators with re-election looming.

Back at the White House, however, the adults would have clearly been in charge, and the spectre of destroying one of the longest-standing and most successful trade deals in the world with the stroke of a pen would never have seriously been raised.

Much has been made of Trump backing off after many voices spoke up warning him of the complexities such a knee-jerk action would create.

Some are attempting to characterize it as a victory, noting Trump made his changes after speaking by telephone to both Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto.

Others say it’s just another of Trump’s well-worn strategies: propose an absolutely outrageous solution first, then back off to a position of mild outrage, which in that context now looks like a reasonable position.

Time will tell whether this is the opening salvo of a grinding trade war or just a random bit of posturing. With more than three years left to run in his administration, President Trump still has plenty of time to wreak havoc.

However, he has injected new life into the familiar debate in Canada over how its domestic supply management policies mesh with this country’s broader trade objectives. gord.gilmour@fbcpublishing.com

Funds all-time record short across CBOT grains, oilseeds

BY KAREN BRAUN REUTERS

S

peculators hit a milestone in the Chicago grains and oilseeds market in late April, as they have reached a new level of bearishness across all seven grains and oilseeds futures and options contracts.

Combining corn, hard and soft red winter wheat, hard red spring wheat, soybeans, soybean oil and soybean meal, hedge funds and other money managers now hold an all-time record net short position of 464,376 futures and options contracts in the week ended April 25, comfortably eclipsing past records.

The most recent week also marks the first ever in which money managers have held bearish views across all seven contracts at the same time. They had come close before for many weeks in mid- and late 2015 into early 2016, but soybean oil spoiled the fun each time.

It is relatively unusual for speculators to be building short positions in grains and oilseeds during this time of year, but as they continue to do so, it just adds fuel to the potential fire should a futures rally come along.

Money managers continued selling CBOT corn futures and options contracts in the week ended April 25, according to data from the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission. They now hold a net short position of 196,257 contracts.

This was likely the most surprising move of the week given that wet, cold, plantingprohibitive weather has been a theme across the U.S. Corn Belt over the past week, and

forecasts were calling for this spell to last.

Apparently speculators were not at all fazed.

Net shorts were also extended in hard red winter wheat and soft red winter wheat, where funds are at an all-time record short position.

Traders were noting plentiful global supplies, good crop conditions, and benign weather forecasts, and this dragged both HRW wheat and corn futures down with it.

Speculators avoided extending their bearishness over the soy complex last week, slightly retracting their overall short stance, which was led by soybean oil.

Funds bought back just over 10,000 futures and options contracts of the vegoil – the largest buy-back in three months – and are now net short by 37,014 contracts, compared with 47,296 in the previous week.

Money managers have cut enthusiasm for CBOT soybeans for 10 weeks in a row now, but they did so to the least degree this past week. The new stance of 48,275 contracts on the short side is just moderately more bearish than last week’s 45,828.

Record acres in the United States and bumper crops in South America have kept soybean futures at bay, but the belief that the U.S. export market could be supported in the coming months because of the Brazilian farmer’s reluctance to sell soybeans could have curbed the bearish momentum.

Of all seven CBOT grains and oilseeds, soybean meal was the last holdout on the long side of the market, but that changed this week.

Funds are now 1,806 contracts short against a 2,639-contract long last week.

The Canadian Federation was pressing for the Canadian Wheat Board to take over marketing of oats and barley. In a radio broadcast, the previous week, Alberta Premier E.C. Manning said there was no necessity for the provinces to pass complementary legislation to allow this. Meanwhile, the board had been handling flaxseed subsequent to taking it over during the Second World War, and it announced an adjustment payment of 50 cents per bushel.

In Ottawa, Agriculture Minister James Gardiner said discussions were proceeding on lifting the U.S. embargo on imports of Canadian cattle.

COMMENT/FEEDBACK

Mr. President, you’re right: Supply management is unfair The real victims of this unfairness are Canadian consumers however

BY MAXIME BERNIER Member of Parliament

Dear Mr. President, Yo u m a y h a v e h e a r d a b o u t m e d u r i n g o n e o f y o u r St a t e Department briefings. I am running to lead my party and replace Justin Trudeau as Canada’s prime minister after the next election. My whole platform is based on four principles: freedom, fairness, responsibility and respect.

So I was very pleased when I saw that you stole one of my best lines by denouncing supply management as an “unfair thing.” I have been making this same point since the beginning of my campaign a year ago.

I agree with you that this protectionist system is unfair for the farmers in Wisconsin and other states, who cannot make a better living by selling their products to their Canadian neighbours. But you will excuse me if I say I am mostly sorry for a much larger group: the 35 million Canadians who are paying on average twice as much as they should for their eggs, chicken and dairy products.

Canadian families, especially lowincome ones with children, suffer because of the hundreds of dollars in extra cost they need to pay each year to support this system. Isn’t it unfair?

I’m also sorry for the Canadian producers protected from competi-

tion by this cartel. It’s actually very unfair for some of them, too.

They have to pay $24,000 to $40,000 a cow to their protection racket for a piece of paper giving them the right to produce a certain quantity of milk – and that’s before paying for the cow itself! Even when they run a very efficient farm, they cannot grow and sell to foreign markets. That’s the price to pay for not allowing foreigners to sell here.

And finally, I think it’s very unfair that in order to keep a system that favours less than 10 per cent of Canadian farmers, our government has not been able to negotiate better trade deals for the other 90 per cent of farmers, or for other industrial sectors looking to export their goods.

So if I were in the Prime Minister’s Office when you call to ask, “What happened?” I would answer this: Yes, you are right, we should take responsibility for this policy failure, free our agriculture market, respect our consumers and your producers, and get rid of this unfair system.

But since we are on this topic, Mr. President, what happened with softwood lumber?

I am sure your Commerce Department people told you that for decades now your country has repeatedly imposed tariffs and quotas on softwood lumber from Canada, claiming that we were unfairly subsidizing our producers. Every time this issue was brought before a trade tribunal, we were cleared of wrongdoings. Yet, you seem to be falling under the influence of lobbyists for special interests in your country who are asking once more for protectionist measures. Isn’t that unfair, Mr. President?

Unfair, that is, for hundreds of thousands of American families that would have to pay about $1,000 more for a new home if those 25 per cent tariffs are applied. Unfair for the 3.8 million Americans who work in residential construction, whose industry would become less competitive and dynamic because of these higher costs.

I won’t try to convince you, Mr. President, that this would also be unfair for the 25,000 workers in Canada who risk losing their jobs in the forestry sector if you go ahead.

You have enough worries to deal with on your side of the border. But I’m sure you and I can agree on this basic economic law: protectionism is unfair for everyone. Unfair to some producers, and unfair to all consumers.

It’s time to fix this, Mr. President, for the benefit of both our people.

I would rather be there to negotiate directly with you, but you could talk about it to a mutual friend of ours, Brian Mulroney. Justin Trudeau did one thing right by asking him to help with those negotiations. He knows a lot about these trade issues. And he agrees with us, too, that supply management has to go.

You’re known as a tough negotiator, Mr. President. Continue to push hard on our government to open our agricultural markets. But the best way to negotiate in the best interest of your own people would be to do the same thing with your softwood lumber market. Not to succumb to protectionist nonsense.

Deal?

hose Wisconsin dairy cows at the centre of another trade kettle now boiling between the United States and Canada, a friend suggests, aren’t really black and white Holsteins.

They’re tiny, yellow canaries, he opines, and their tweets — not President Donald J. Trump’s — are a warning that America’s reign a s t h e w o r l d’s a g e x p o r t superpower is fading and U.S. farmers and ranchers are ill prepared for what comes next.

“This (was) the first time milk was left and not picked up at any price,” explains the friend, after more than 60 Wisconsin dairy farms were notified by their Canadabased milk buyer that they would be dropped.

That shocking news m e a n t , “ We b e t t e r m a k e some decisions on the future of dair ying real quick (because) every farm i s e x p a n d i n g . . . t o l e v e rage survival.” Grain farm-

“With 43 per cent of the (soy) export market,” explained the Journal, “up from just 12 per cent 30 years ago, Brazil can sway global prices...” Additionally, “It’s projected to be the second-largest corn exporter, on the heels of the U.S. this season.”

But it’s just not big, growing Brazil, continued the Journal. “As of the last crop y e a r, R u s s i a n o w b e a t s Amer ica in shipments of wheat.”

That trend likely will continue. On April 13, the U.S.

America’s dominance in global ag export markets is not just slipping but flagging.

Department of Agriculture reported that 2016-17 total U.S. wheat acres would fall to 46.1 million, the lowest since 1919, only because that’s “when U.S. wheat production records began.”

Into this ongoing global ag realignment comes the almost perfectly paradoxical farm team of President Donald J. Trump and Sonny Perdue, his long-in-waiting secretary of agriculture. A more polar opposite pair would be hard to find.

L i k e a r o o s t e r, Tr u m p s e n d s Tw i t t e r t h re a t s t o Amer ica’s biggest trading partners — Canada is our largest ag customer — with each sunrise.

Worse, he’s not kidding.

In stone-faced silence American farmers watched as Trump withdrew the U.S. from the nearly completed Trans-Pacific Par tnership (TPP), a multinational trade deal, shor tly after taking office. He now plans to redo t h e l o n g - s t a n d i n g , “v e r y unfair” North American Free Trade Agreement, or NAFTA. The other half of the team, Secretary Perdue, is a fullthroated ag trade evangelist who, after his first White House meeting April 25, happily announced that American ag trade is “going to be my task, to go around the world with Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, with our U.S. trade representative and our undersecretary for trade to make sure American products are on tables all over this world.”

The secretary should pack a very big suitcase because he will be on the road a long time given America’s slipping hold on the global farm trade and his boss’s ver y clear, very tough anti-trade stances on Canadian lumber, imported steel, exported

milk, the TPP, NAFTA, the European Union, China, and Mexico.

Of course, there is one s u re w a y t o b e t t e r c o m pete in the race-to-the-bottom global commodity biz — cheaper pr ices — and Perdue appeared to commit to that path in a press re l e a s e U S D A s e n t r i g h t after his first White House meeting.

“It used to be that people in agriculture feared disease and drought as the greatest threat to their livelihoods...” said the new secretary. “While those hazards remain, too often now it is the government — through interference and regulation — that poses the most existential threat to American farming. We aim to put a stop to that.”

Which is exactly what canaries did when the hazard they were guarding against became existential; they stopped.

Breathing, that is.

FROM PAGE ONE SEEDING Continued from page 1

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, meanwhile, has said it expects global wheat production to fall 2.7 per cent to 740 million tonnes in 2017, at least partially because of lowered acres in Australia, Canada and the U.S. Bruce Burnett, director of markets and weather information at Glacier FarmMedia, noted that long-term wheat prices are unlikely to improve dramatically, suppressed as they are by global supply.

“We have gone through periods like this where some crops have not been profitable in the past and farmers, because they have to produce or plant something on that land, the best of those options sort of gets planted and I think this is probably something that’s going to happen this year for cereal crops because there is really no cereal crop that stands out as a really big moneymaker,” he said.

Interestingly, the lagging market has not impacted overall wheat acres nationwide, according to March 2017 seeding estimates released by Statistics Canada. Overall wheat acres are expected to remain steady at 23.2 million acres, with Alberta’s 10 per cent increase to 7.4 million acres offset by 2.7 per cent less wheat in Saskatchewan and a nine per cent drop in Manitoba to 2.7 million acres.

Surprising Burnett said he was surprised to see wheat acres largely unchanged, given the currently unfriendly market. He speculated, however, that some acres in Saskatchewan and Alberta had switched from durum to red spring wheat, a reaction to the fusarium that plagued durum crops last year.

“In Saskatchewan and Alberta, especially in Saskatchewan last year as well as a couple of previous years as well, they’ve had increasing problems with fusarium in the durum and that sort of came to a crescendo in last year’s growing season,” he said.

president Gordon Harrison told the Canadian Workshop on Fusarium Head Blight that 2016 spring wheat damage was between 1.5 and five times worse than previous years.

Durum is expected to fall 18.8 per cent in Saskatchewan to 4.1 million acres and 8.5 per cent in Alberta to 1.1 million acres.

Looking for alternatives While outlooks for soybeans and canola remain more positive (Winnipeg net cash returns sit at $10.56 per bushel for soybeans and $11.52 per bushel of canola as of April 21, according to Manitoba Agriculture), rotations have limited planting flexibility.

Manitoba is on track to plant a record number of soybeans in 2017 according to March forecasts, with acres expected to rise a meteoric 34.6 per cent to

2.2 million acres. Canola acres, meanwhile, are expected to fall slightly but still rank as the top crop in the province at 3.1 million acres.

“If you shove in more pulses and more canola, then economics would dictate that you do that,” Burnett said. “But really, there’s a limit to that (which) you

With a weak wheat market on the horizon, Manitoba market analysts are expecting a shift to oats.

In Manitoba, acres are expected to rise 46.6 per cent to 550,000 acres, well over the 20.6 per cent increase expected nationally.

As of April 21, oat prices remained comparatively strong at $3.01 farmer net cash per bushel, according to Manitoba Agriculture.

While Heaman says he has not spoken with other seed growers, oats have been the one exception

to his otherwise slow sales.

“By the amount of oat seed that we’ve sold already, there’s a lot of oats,” he said. “It looks like there could be a lot of oats going in.”

Burnett also pointed to oats as a popular replacement for wheat, but noted that a large-scale shift in acres might have the unintended effect of glutting the oat market.

“It’s very easy to have so many oats around that you can pull prices down significantly, because it’s essentially a North American market,” he said.

Other, smaller markets in pulses and special crops might also risk a glut should wheat acres shift, Burnett said, although he identified oats as the largest risk area.

Barley, meanwhile, sits at $3.29 per bushel net cash in Winnipeg.

Acres are expected to fall eight per cent nationally and 11.1 per cent in Manitoba.

“Although the barley price for malting remains reasonable, feed barley prices are very poor.

Farmers have decided that may not be worth the risk this year,” Burnett said.

With challenges on the horizon for crop alternatives, Burnett advised that farmers may still want to seed wheat, despite market circumstances.

“If you look at it from a logical perspective right now, sticking with wheat in the cereal acres is probably the thing to do,” Burnett said, but added farmers need to have a realistic view of the market they’re planting into, and be prepared to capture any pricing opportunities.

“When you see, for whatever reason, the market takes off and gives you an increase of 25 or 50 cents a bushel, in U.S. dollars, those should probably be viewed as pricing opportunities,” Burnett said.

Burnett also noted that pricing and profit will rely heavily on grain quality, making pre-pricing forecasts difficult. astockford@farmmedia.com

CGC CUT Continued from page 1

in crop year 2017-18 compared to the current crop year, which ends July 31.

The CGC also proposes to eliminate overtime charges for official inspection.

In March the CGC released a discussion paper proposing similar fee reductions and others, to begin April 1, 2018 and remain in effect for five years, with an annual 1.5 per cent increase for inflation. The discussion period ended May 1.

“There are no other options available to stop the accumulation of surplus other than reducing official inspection and official weighing fees,” Remi Gosselin, the CGC’s manager of corporate information services, said in an interview April 25.

“This proposal is intended to stop the accumulation of surplus, which is what the sector has been asking for, for some time, and we are responding to that need.”

The CGC has also asked the grain industry for suggestions on how it should spend the existing operating surplus, which last December was $114.5 million and rising. It’s the result of the CGC underestimating grain exports, on which the two main CGC fees apply, and higher user fees.

In 2013 the government ordered the CGC to become selfsufficient and to review, and if necessary, adjust fees every five years. To that end CGC user fees jumped, on average, 44 per cent, with the cost of one fee — ship inspections — tripling to $1.60 a tonne, sparking widespread industry criticism. Since then fees have increased annually to cover inflation.

The CGC forecast grain exports would average 23.3 million tonnes a year. But in 2013-14 exports hit 30.4 million, resulting in a $10-million surplus. Exports were higher the next two years, at 37.6 million and 38.4 million tonnes, resulting in surpluses of $24.4 million and $26.9 million, respectively. The CGC now estimates exports will average 34.4 million tonnes a year.

Assuming Canada exports 34.4 million tonnes of grain in the 2017-18 crop year, the reduced fees, if implemented, will save the grain industry $15 million. Although grain exporters pay most CGC fees, it’s widely believed the costs are passed back to farmers.

The proposed fee cut was published in the Canada Gazette April 22. Interested parties have 30 days to comment.

Currently the CGC is charging $1.70 to officially inspect grain ships and 16 cents a tonne to weigh them for a total of $1.86 a tonne.

It proposes cutting the inspection fee by 35 cents to $1.35 a tonne and lowering the weighing fee from nine cents to seven cents a tonne, making the new total of the two fees $1.42.

The CGC, whose mandate un-

der the Canada Grain Act is to ensure Canadian quality, needs about $63.5 million to operate annually, Gosselin said. In 201718 it expects to hit that target earning $57.1 million from fees, plus $5.4 million from the federal government to operate the CGC’s Grain Research Laboratory, which is viewed as a public good.

The CGC also needs at least $36 million in reserve to supplement revenues in years when revenues decline due to reduced grain exports, Gosselin said.

“If implemented, the proposed fee reductions would result in significant savings for the Canadian grain industry as we enter the 2017 to 2018 crop year,” CGC chief commissioner Patti Miller said in a news release.

Agriculture Minister Lawrence MacAulay supports the proposed fee reduction.

“One of the results of the tremendous production we’ve seen in Western Canada over the past few years has been higher revenues at the Canadian Grain Commission,” he said in a news release. “As a result, I committed to our stakeholders to look at ways to lower its user fees. (The) announcement is an important step to putting more money in the pockets of our farmers, helping to grow the economy and strengthen the middle class.”

The CGC’s proposed fee cut was also endorsed by the Grain Growers of Canada.

“The accelerated reduction is ahead of the original schedule of new user fees which would have started April 1, 2018. This move is in line with our recent calls to Minister Lawrence MacAulay and the commission to prevent the further accumulation of the surplus, which is now over $100 million.

“We applaud this regulation and look forward to working with government on the consultations around the new fee schedule and use of the current surplus,” GGC president Jeff Nielsen said in a statement.

The CGC is consulting with the federal government on how to use the surplus money it has collected, Gosselin said. The CGC believes it can only use the money in areas related to its mandate.

The Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association wants the money either paid back to farmers or used to reduce future CGC fees.

The CGC itself has suggested the surplus could be used to reduce future fees, but returning it to farmers is logistically impractical, Gosselin said.

The CGC has also suggested using the money to fund a new security program to compensate farmers when grain companies fail to pay them, upgrading its laboratories, or delivering real-time analytical testing at licensed terminal elevators or other locations.

KAP debates how to spend the Canadian Grain Commission’s operating surplus The CGC says it can’t refund the money, but it can spend it with the federal government’s approval on things related to its mandate

T

he Canadian Grain Commission (CGC) cannot return its operating surplus to farmers or grain companies as some farm groups suggest, according to Remi Gosselin, manager of corporate information services.

“The Canada Grain Act and the Canada Grain Act regulations do not provide for refunds or rebates,” he said in an interview April 28.

Nor will the CGC be committing a crime by spending the surplus, which was $114.5 million and rising as of last December, so long as the money is spent in areas related to CGC services included under the grain act, Gosselin said.

“We are working with Justice Canada, Treasury Board and (the Department of) Finance to clarify procedures,” he said.

Some farmers at the meeting insisted CGC is restricted to either repay the money or use it to reduce user fees charged for its services, even going so far as to say using the money in other ways was fraudulent during the Keystone Agricultural Producers (KAP) advisory council meeting here April 20.

“The Canadian Grain Commission is not breaking the law by spending the surplus in an approved way,” Gosselin said in response.

“The Canadian Grain Commission does not have the authority to spend the accumulated surplus without approval from the Treasury Board of Canada.”

KAP delegates debated a resolution calling on KAP to lobby the CGC to use its surplus to standardize grain-grading infrastructure.

Bill Campbell, a Minto farmer and KAP’s vice-president, said farmers need a better system for grading and assessing crops as they are being delivered. Farm-

ers are getting downgraded because of the amount of DON (deoxynivalenol) in the grain.

DON is the toxin caused by fusarium head blight, a fungal disease. Campbell said a test showed his wheat had one per cent DON, but a grain buyer said it was 1.9 per cent.

“It took it from possibly being a No. 2 to Canada Feed — about a $2 (a bushel) discount at that particular time,” he said.

Campbell’s malting barley met specifications except for being just a bit over on DON. The contracted price was $5.50 a bushel, but the buyer said he might pay $4 for.

“So there seems to me there is no standardized testing, there is no standardized way a producer can go back and credibly challenge some of these places,” he said. “The grain commission’s position is to look after producers.

“I believe that we need to have more ability to test our grain and we need to be able to have a better standard in grain testing if this is going to be the criteria for which we receive payment.”

The Alberta Wheat Commission has also argued for additional “objective” testing at elevators for things like DON and falling number.

Starbuck farmer Chuck Fossay noted DON is not part of the CGC’s grading standard. Instead it uses fusarium-damaged kernels as a proxy. However, some years, including 2016, the correlation breaks down.

Including DON as a grading factor could be a double-edged sword, Gord Miles, the CGC’s chief operating officer, warned in a recent interview.

“There are some things we need to be careful with — specifications that we don’t necessarily want in the grading system,” he said.

“The problem is not all customers require DON testing.

DON levels are not standard so they vary internationally. So if you put that into a grade rather

than have it as a spec you could be creating more costs in the system.”

Starbuck farmer Reg Dyck said the resolution, if passed, would change KAP’s policy, which is for KAP to investigate using the CGC’s surplus to set up a new producer security program to compensate farmers who don’t get paid for grain after it’s delivered. Instead of grain companies posting security to cover farmer liabilities, KAP wants to explore Ontario’s compensation fund scheme.

And while he saw merit in the proposal, Dyck said improving the CGC’s security system, is also important.

“The broader-based security we can come up with the better off we’d be,” he said. “If we go for individual insurance I think it would cost us a lot more in the end and a lot of producers won’t do it and will get caught. In the 40 years that I farmed I had five exceptionally close calls in not getting paid (after delivering grain to a buyer). Most of the companies had been around for a number of years, but things happen and all of sudden they are in trouble and you’re looking at non-payment.”

Minto farmer David Rourke said some of the CGC’s surplus could go to both causes. Farmers need a system to better inform them of grain quality of theirs as they deliver or shortly after.

Delegates voted to refer the resolution to KAP’s Grains, Oilseed and Pulses Committee for further study.

A resolution calling on KAP to lobby the CGC to invest its surplus in rail cars was defeated.

Souris farmer Walter Finlay said buying cars that way would benefit farmers.

“I would say the train has left the station,” Dyck said.

The money wouldn’t buy enough cars to influence rail service, he suggested. allan@fbcpublishing.com

FOR THE BIRDS

Canada’s grain sector wants to keep wheat off Trump’s hit list and preserve open border That’s why it’s pushing Ottawa to change the grading system to accommodate American wheat delivered to Canadian elevators “We should be changing the act to allow that to happen.”

BY ALLAN DAWSON Co-operator staff

W

ith Canadian softwood lumber and dairy already in President Donald Trump’s crosshairs, there are fears United States could soon go after Canadian wheat.

The Americans have long complained Canadian wheat has enjoyed unfettered access to the U.S. market under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), but charge Canadian regulations discriminate against American wheat shipped to Canada.

Canada’s grain sector agrees.

And with the U.S. being one of Canada’s best wheat markets, has been calling on the federal government for changes.

The previous Conservative government was close to doing just that through amendments to the Canada Grain Act, but two separate bills, including the last one, C-48, died before being passed.

Now Canada’s grain industry says ending the irritant should be a top priority given Trump’s bellicose, anti-trade rhetoric and a recent U.S. Senate resolution, which could soon land on Trump’s desk.

Last week Montana De m o c ra t i c Se n a t o r Jo h n Tester moved a resolution stating Canada should grade Canadian and American wheat the same way and that the president should examine whether Canada’s grading laws adhere to trade agreements and “insist on full access for United States exporters of wheat to the Canadian market.”

“We should be changing the act to allow that to happen,” Cereals Canada president Cam Dahl said in an interview April 27.

The Canadian Grain Commission (CGC) agrees

Canada’s wheat industry wants the federal government to amend the Canada Grain Act so deliveries from the U.S. are treated the same way Canadian ones are, to prevent raising the ire of President Donald Trump.

American wheat delivered to a Canadian elevator is treated differently than Canadian, but says it doesn’t prevent commerce.

That might be so, but Canada’s grain trade says to maintain trade harmony the Canada Grain Act must be amended so Americanproduced wheat, registered to be grown in Canada, can be graded the same as Canadian wheat.

Currently American wheat sold in Canada is only eligible for the lowest grade for the class it is entering, Remi Gosselin, the Canadian Grain Commission’s (CGC) manager of corporate information, said in an interview April 26.

“However, U.S. grain can be delivered and sold in Canada outside the statutory grading system (based on specifications) without restricting its value or use,” he added. “It’s up to the Canadian grain buyers as to how they want to settle such a delivery.

“So there’s nothing in the current (Canadian) grain-handling system that prevents U.S. producers from entering into contracts with grain-handling companies or processors located in Canada

to get a fair price for the quality of the product being delivered on the basis of specs.”

Nevertheless, Canada’s grain trade says to maintain trade harmony American-grown wheat should be accommodated.

The list of American wheats registered in Canada and assigned to a Canadian wheat class, is growing and includes varieties such as Prosper, Faller, and Elgin ND. More are expected to be registered in coming years.

American wheat entering a Canadian licensed primary or terminal elevator doesn’t have to be segregated, Gosselin said.

But there’s a caveat. If Canadian and foreign grain are mixed when loaded on a ship, the CGC must take an official sample, inspect and weigh the grain and certify it is of mixed Canadian and foreign grain origin.

As a result Canadian buyers of American wheat might opt to segregate American wheat to be eligible for a CGC grade.

“But that shouldn’t stop commerce from happening really,” Wade Sobkowich, executive director of the Western Grain

Elevator Association ( WGEA) said in an interview. “It’s just a different process you have to go through.”

Not being able to get an official CGC grade adds cost and puts American wheat at a competitive disadvantage, Ben Conner, manager of policy for U.S. Wheat Associates, said in an interview April 27.

“All we are asking for is equity at border,” he said.

“There is some (wheat) sold on specs, but that’s not good enough.”

The WGEA, which represents Western Canada’s major grain companies, also supports amending the act to accommodate American wheat, Sobkowich said.

“But we still think that Canada has the right to set its own grading system and that should remain,” he said. “Both Canadian and American farmers should have access to the Canadian grading system and the (previously proposed) amendment would give them that right.”

Unregistered wheat grown in Canada by Canadian farmers is also only eligible for the lowest grade in the class.

The Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association has been pushing the federal government for several years to change the act.

It issued a press release last week, pointing to Trump’s anti-trade threats, urging the Canadian government to “harmonize regula-

tions and ensure the free flow of wheat between Canada and the United States.”

The U.S. is one of Canada’s best wheat customers, Dahl said.

Canada has made a lot of changes to accommodate American wheat and CGC grading is the last irritant to be fixed, he said.

But even then, Dahl doesn’t expect much U.S. wheat to flow north.

“If you’re a North Dakota farmer looking at a Manitoba elevator with the Canadian dollar it is not that attractive right now,” he said.

“I would think there would have to be closer parity in the exchange rate. I think that’s a much bigger factor.”

But according to Conner there have been times when North Dakota farmers could earn more selling their wheat in Canada.

“It has been a concern that they haven’t been able to take advantage because of the policies in Canada on imported grain,” he said.

CGC grading would be a step in the right direction, but the U.S. won’t be satisfied until the rules that encourage buyers to segregate American wheat are removed, he said.

Agriculture Minister Lawrence MacAulay’s office didn’t provide a response when asked to comment on the issue.

When asked a year ago MacAulay replied: “ The Government of Canada is looking at what changes may be needed in the grain sector to better align it with a changing market.

We are listening to stakeholders and partners. We will consider their interests, and how best to address them, while maintaining the protections and assurances the Canada Grain Act provides to Canadian producers and their customers.” allan@fbcpublishing.com

Trade minister knows rural trade concerns His constituency in Quebec is also home to many dairy farmers

BY ALEX BINKLEY Co-operator contributor

T

rade Minister François Philippe Champagne likes to talk about how the proposed trade deal with Europe will eventually see most Canadian exports to the continent enter duty free.

At the same time, his political circumstances make him well aware of rural concerns about the deal’s impacts, he told the Senate foreign affairs committee.

In addition to dairy farmers in his Quebec riding, he has an award-winning cheese maker FX Pichet.

He said producers and manufacturers alike need to tap into a $350-million program announced by Agr iculture Minister Lawrence MacAulay to help the industry adjust to increased European cheese imports as well as tap into a growth in European market for Canadian dairy products.

The government needs “to work with small- and mediumsize farming communities to make sure these programs are leading to the results you would expect. Because what we want to see and why we have been able to negotiate free market access in Europe is to give them a chance to do more.”

Having more cheese coming in shouldn’t be a concern, he said.

“The big prize for us is having our producers taking the opportunity they have now to export in Europe,” Champagne said. “I would hope to work with them to make sure that these investments in plant and equipment would allow them to access the primary consumer market for these products in Europe.”

Champagne said he recently a t t e n d e d Gu l Fo o d Fa i r i n D u b a i . C a n a d a’s w o r k i n improving food safety has people looking at Canadian products in a very favourable way.

“The big prize for us is having our producers taking the opportunity they have now to export in Europe.”

François Philippe Champagne trade minister

“Food safety is a big thing in the world, and I would hope through the measures we’ve put in place now that our cheese producers will be able to export in Europe and benefit from this market access which is not present today because of the import duty,” he said.

The minister also said the government is in regular communication with the British government to keep the trade relationship between the two countries continuing as it pre-

pares to leave the European Union.

“Obviously, the U.K. is our largest trading partner within Europe, that through provisional application (of the deal with Europe), Canada and the U.K. will have a free trade agreement. They have been one of the strongest proponents in the EU with regard to CETA.” British officials can’t yet negotiate a separate free trade deal with Canada but discussions between the two sides continue, he said.

“We want to offer predictability, stability,” Champagne said. “We understand it is in both nations’ best interests. We want the good trading relationship to continue after they finish their process with Europe.

I can assure you that’s something which we’re looking at very carefully.”

Wi t h C E TA f u l l y i m p l e mented, 99 per cent of the more than 9,000 European tariff lines will be duty free for

Canadian goods. “That is the message that I repeat to smalland medium-size businesses everywhere I go in Canada.

There are enormous opportunities for Canadian businesses ahead of us.”

Steve Ver heul, the chief Canadian negotiator for the European deal, said that when fully implemented the deal will cover 99 per cent of the tariffs between Europe and Canada as well as 99 per cent of the trade.

“The only items not covered at the request of both sides was poultry and eggs,” he said.

“On our side, the only dairy products we covered were cheese and milk protein substances. Those were the only issues where we completely exempted complete tariff elimination on our side. On the EU side, we have tariff quotas on products like beef and pork, but there is a tariff if those quotas are exceeded.”

Beef and pork should eventually have access to Europe worth $1 billion.

P

rices for cattle at auction marts across Manitoba were sharply higher on the week, leading to an influx of cattle, touching “unheard of” levels in some areas, according to one local auctioneer.

“Quite often, by the time we’re at the end of April we’re getting into those 400-, 500-head sales,” said Allan Munroe of Killarney Auction Mart.

The mart’s April 24 sale featured 970 head.

“That’s unheard of, for us,” Munroe said.

Sharply higher prices for cattle spurred increased volumes, he added.

“The market is getting up, and guys are a little bit behind, and they’re cleaning house,” he said, adding that some ranchers who were planning to take cattle to grass opted to sell them instead, due to strong pricing.

Volumes weren’t higher at all sales in Manitoba, due to seasonal factors, though strong prices were consistent across the province.

“In our area, the volume is technically down.

We’re getting to the time of year where most of the cattle have been moved already,” said Dave Nickel of Gladstone Auction Mart.

Strong futures and demand for cattle propped up values at his sale, he added.

Chicago Mercantile Exchange cattle futures advanced leading into Munroe’s sale on April 24. “And the futures board has gone basically up every day since. It’s extremely bullish, which is always a good thing,” he said.

Declining carcass weights are one key source of that strength.

dave nickel Gladstone Auction Mart

“That helps,” Munroe said. “When you start taking pounds off the carcasses it takes a lot more heads to get the same amount of beef.”

Sharp declines in the Canadian dollar on the week have also been supportive for the country’s cattle market.

The loonie lost slightly less than one U.S. cent against its U.S. counterpart in the week ending April 28, closing at 73.19 U.S. cents. That makes Canadian commodities more affordable internationally, and appealing to U.S. buyers.

Conditions for Manitoba cattle ranchers outside of auction marts are also favourable.

“Moisture is good, we’re starting to get some sunshine. I think we’ll have some grass around, right now things are positive,” Munroe said.

However, the cyclical nature of the cattle market means producers should look for opportunities to cover themselves going forward.

“I’m certainly, with a lot of other people, encouraging producers to look at price insurance,” said Munroe.

“We listen to analysts, and all fall and early winter, markets were supposed to keep dropping and it’s been rising, so we don’t know what’s going to happen by fall time.”

Tyson Foods eyes higher wages as U.S. labour market tightens

By Tom Polansek CHICAGO

Tyson Foods Inc., the biggest U.S. chicken company, said in late April it may raise wages again for workers at all of its poultry plants, a sign of an intensifying battle for employees in a tightening labour market.

The increases would come after Arkansas-based Tyson boosted base wages for poultry workers by between three and 3.5 per cent in November, said Hector Gonzalez, vice-president for human resources operations. The base rate is a pay level workers can reach after

finishing a probationary period.

Under a pilot program, Tyson gave workers at one poultry plant a bigger increase in November and further raised pay at another facility in January, Gonzalez said. The company will evaluate how those increases help attract and retain workers and affect their performance, he said.

“The pool of available labour is shrinking,” Gonzalez said.

Employers are competing for workers as the number of Americans on unemployment rolls has dropped to a 17-year low.

Last year, companies including Wal-Mart Stores Inc., a Tyson customer, raised wages for hourly workers under pressure from the competitive job market and labour groups

calling for higher wages at retail chains.

Tyson rivals Sanderson Farms Inc. and Pilgrim’s Pride Corp. did not respond to requests for comment about wages.

Asked whether Tyson would pass on the cost for higher wages to customers, Gonzalez said the increases were an investment that executives “hope to get back in a lot of ways, particularly through operational efficiencies.”

At some facilities, Tyson is “looking for a dramatic improvement in the numbers of quality applicants to help staff our plants and avoid creating a scenario where we can’t meet the demand of our customers,” he said.

Tyson said it did not have an estimate for the cost of the wage.

Trade’s focus shifts to new-crop canola prospects

Average quotes as of May 1, 2017 ($/tonne)

Facing tight old-crop supply, demand remains strong Phil-Franz Warkentin CNSC

T

he ICE Futures Canada canola market went in two directions during the week ended April 28, with the July/November spread narrowing in considerably.

Speculators, adjusting positions, accounted for much of the activity during the week, especially in the May contract as traders exited that month before expiry.

The old-crop July contract lost roughly $5 per tonne over the course of the week, while newcrop November gained $7. The July/November spread moved from $28 per tonne over, to about $15 over. That move shows attention to be moving away from the tight old-crop supply situation and to the uncertain new-crop production prospects.

Roughly two million acres are still sitting with overwintered crops in Western Canada, according to provincial estimates, and poor weather continued to cause problems for farmers looking to clean up those fields. Not all of that land is canola, but enough is that the 2016 production number may be revised lower at some point.

The bigger concern now with unharvested crops is what those delays mean for new-crop seedings. Statistics Canada forecast record-large canola acres for 2017, but the rising new-crop futures are a good sign that the market is already lowering its expectations.

While most of the attention is on the supply side of the equation, demand is still looking very strong for canola and prices likely have more room to the upside if that buying interest needs to be rationed.

Canola exports to date, of 8.8 million tonnes, are running about 700,000 tonnes ahead of the previous year’s pace, according to Canadian Grain Commission data.

The domestic crush is even more active, with the 6.9 million tonnes crushed to date about 900,000 tonnes ahead of the year-ago level, according to the latest Canadian Oilseed Processors Association data.

Crush margins are off their highs, but did improve over the course of the week as softness in the Canadian dollar provided support.

Statistics Canada releases its stocks as of March 31 report on May 5. While the report is usually not followed that closely, it will provide a better handle on usage to date and the supply situation heading into the new season.

Weather is the key driver in the U.S. markets these days, with corn plantings running behind normal due to cool and wet conditions.

Midwestern farmers usually like to get the corn crop in the ground by May 15, with yield losses likely for any fields planted after that cutoff point. Soybeans have a slightly shorter growing season, and are typically planted after corn. As a result, corn-seeding delays typically lead to a shift into soybeans. While soybean area is already expected to be quite large in the U.S., conditions are shaping up to see even more beans in the ground.

Spring wheat is also facing seeding delays in the U.S., but the bigger weather concerns are for winter wheat. All three U.S. wheat markets shot higher during the week, with freezing temperatures and even snow in some areas causing damage to the already record-low U.S. wheat acres.

Prairie wheat bids rise with action in U.S. futures Kansas City July wheat climbed 20 U.S. cents from the previous week

BY DAVE SIMS CNS Canada

H

ard red spring wheat bids in Western Canada posted solid gains during the week ended April 28, taking strength from action in U.S. markets.

Depending on the location, average Canada Western Red Spring (CWRS) wheat prices were up by $10 to $13 per tonne across the Prairie provinces, according to price quotes from a cross-section of delivery points compiled by PDQ (Price and Data Quotes).

Average prices ranged from about $233 per tonne in western Manitoba to as high as $254 in northern Alberta.

Quoted basis levels varied from location to location, but generally ranged from about $35 to $56 per

tonne above the futures when using the grain company methodology of quoting the basis as the difference between U.S. dollar-denominated futures and Canadian dollar cash bids.

When accounting for currency exchange rates by adjusting Canadian prices to U.S. dollars, CWRS bids ranged from US$172 to $188 per tonne. That would put the currencyadjusted basis levels at about US$10$26 below the futures.

Looking at it the other way around, if the Minneapolis futures are converted to Canadian dollars, CWRS basis levels across Western Canada range from $13 to $35 below the futures.

Canada Prairie Spring Red (CPSR) wheat bids were up by $11-$13 per tonne, with prices ranging from $158 to $174 per tonne.

Average (CWRS) prices ranged from about $233 per tonne in western Manitoba to as high as $254 in northern Alberta.

Average durum prices were up as much as $1 per tonne, with bids in Saskatchewan coming in at about $254 to $257 per tonne.

The July spring wheat contract in Minneapolis, off of which most CWRS contracts Canada are based, was quoted at US$5.5475 per bushel on April 28, up 19.25 U.S. cents from the previous week.

Kansas City hard red winter wheat futures, traded in Chicago, are more closely linked to CPSR in Canada. The

July K.C. wheat contract was quoted April 28 at US$4.3725 per bushel, up 20 U.S. cents compared to the previous week.

The July Chicago Board of Trade soft wheat contract settled April 28 at US$4.3225, up by 11.25 U.S. cents on the week.

The Canadian dollar settled April 28 at 74.12 U.S. cents, up by roughly a 10th of a cent relative to its U.S. counterpart compared to the previous week.

Canadian dairy history book celebrates Canada 150 Dairy farmers across Canada are celebrating Canada’s sesquicentennial with a historical volume

BY SHANNON VANRAES Co-operator staff

W

ith Canada’s 150th birthday just around the corner, dairy farmers across the country are sharing their stories in a new book.

“It’s a really neat look at our history,” said David Wiens, Dairy Farmers of Manitoba chair, at a recent distr ict meeting.

Printed in both French and English, Dairy Farmers, Deeply Rooted for a Strong Future profiles dairy farmers in each province. In Manitoba, Alain Philippot and his family share the history and philosophy of their farm.

“When your peers choose you, it’s a very humbling experience,” Philippot said. “That your peers choose you and say this is a farm that we can highlight because they’ve been here a long time and they are doing a good job and you can stand up and say this is what we stand for — that’s humbling and exciting.”

Ashlee Smith of Dair y Farmers of Canada said the national organization worked with its provincial counterparts to find the right farms for the book.

“What we were looking for was multi-generational families or farms that had been established for a very, very long time or farms that were a unique piece of history,” she explained.

The Philippot farm was established by Alexis Philippot in 1912. He left Brittany, France in 1909 in search of a better life.

Arriving at the young age of 19, he worked as a lumberjack in the winter and as a farmhand in the summer, until he’d saved enough money to buy land and begin his own farm.

Eventually, the farm grew into a 1,800-acre livestock operation, later divided up among his six sons, while the family’s five daughters married.

But it was a combination of the Great Depression and depleted soils that pushed the Philippot farm and others in the St. Claude area into the dairy business.

In 1958 Raymond and Laurette took over the farm, b ef ore it p a ssed to Alain Philippot and his wife Michelle.

Together with their three children, they now milk about 68 cows.

“I always wanted to be a farmer when I was a kid, but then when I was 17 or 18 I was not going to farm, I was going to be anything but, I was actually enrolled at Red River College for computer technology and I was accepted for 1983,” Philippot said. However, after spending a gap year at home on the farm before classes began, it was

clear to Philippot that the farm was where he was meant to be.

“I really enjoyed the whole aspect of farming, making milk from soil, planting a crop, growing the crop, feeding that to the animal and then incorporating that with the genetics of the animal, improving the animal, improving the soil... so it’s the holistic thing of it,” he said.

“And I get to consume my product every day, which to me is very exciting, because I get the fruit of my labour every day.”

That doesn’t mean Philippot has turned his back on technology and computer sciences, though. He sees a future where technology plays a vital role in the survival of the family farm.

“You are going to see the democratization of technology, to make it so that one person can do a lot with something very small,” he said, speculating that smaller equipment based on robotics could revolutionize the way small farms operate, eliminating the need to seek massive scales of economy with

“What I’d like to see is the family farm continue, where the model is based on the fact that there will be people who own the farm who are farming it.”

larger and larger operations, while live streaming and other communication technology could allay consumer concerns about quality and welfare.

Smith notes that stories of adaptation, community building and innovation can be found across the country, showcasing the role dairy farmers have played in shopping the country.

“We really wanted to highlight the contr ibutions of Canadian dairy farmers,” Smith said. “In the building and the growth of the country as part

of the 150th celebration... dairy farmers were integral in building Canada and feeding the country, so we wanted to provide Canadians with sort of a little piece of history and where dairy farming was and where it is today and the stories of these families which are very, very powerful.”

In Quebec the book features the Marandas family, which still lives in the same farmhouse built by their ancestors in 1736, although the farm can trace its roots back to 1666. And in Nova Scotia, the Burrows family

of Clover Crest Farm in Green Oak talks about their operation, founded in 1765.

Back in Manitoba, Philippot said he hopes to see all these farms continue to thrive into the future.

“What I’d like to see is the family farm continue, where the model is based on the fact that there will be people who own the farm who are farming it,” he said. “A model where you want to leave it in as good, or better shape than you found it.” shannon.vanraes@fbcpublishing.com

Ergot continues to cause concerns Feed manufacturers must sell a safe product, but are under no obligation to test for ergot alkaloids

BY SHANNON VANRAES

“Typically we see clinical signs related to the ergot alkaloids, which cause vassal constitution, so blood vessels constrict down, so what we see are signs related to that, extremities will be cool, the tails, the ears, the feet, they will be cool to the touch because they are not getting enough blood flow.”

Co-operator staff

A

s more Manitoba producers link cases of ergotism to pellet feed, farmers are being urged to use caution and test for ergot alkaloids.

“It’s very sad,” said Wayne Tomlinson, an extension veterinarian with the province.

“You’re doing the right thing, you’re feeding your animals what you think is good-quality feed and they are not thriving, it’s very sad when you’re doing the right things and it’s not turning out right.”

Four cattle producers have contacted the Manitoba Co-operator in recent weeks, indicating they are seeking resolution with feed-manufacturing companies following cases of ergotism in their herds, resulting from pellet feed exceeding acceptable limits of ergot alkaloids.

Tomlinson said that wet conditions last year have led to a greater presence of the fungus.

“We had a lot of feed grains because the feed was damaged, so it is certainly a year where we would have a lot of potential for ergot poisoning,” he said, adding nutritionists would tell producers the best way to avoid ergot toxicity is to avoid feeding ergot-contaminated feed.

“But that is easier said than d o n e,” To m l i n s o n a d d e d .

“They can even get this grazi n g i n m a t u re g ra s s e s, s o whether you’re grazing mature pasture, grass that has ergot in the seeds, or you’re feeding, the best thing is to recognize that there is a risk.”

The veterinarian said testing pellet feed for the toxic fungus is really the only way to know if it is present. However, getting a definitive feed or grain sample can prove challenging.

“Sampling is always difficult when we are dealing with anything in feed, in that it can be really, really difficult to get representative sampling,” he said. “Because there is variation across the field, there’s low spots and high spots, so the crop is different throughout the field, it’s different throughout the bin, maybe two or three bins get mixed together, sampling is just extremely difficult.”

Knowing exactly how widespread the problem of ergotism is also presents challenges. Because it’s not a reportable disease, increases

are often cited with anecdotal evidence.

“We’ve been hearing a lot from the producers that there seems to be an increase in ergot issues out west,” said Annie Savoie, national manager of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s biotechnology and microbiology section. “We have not necessarily seen that in our monitoring programs, per se, but that’s what we’re hearing from producers.”

The agency is in the process of implementing a new method of monitoring ergot alkaloids, she said. Previous monitoring was based on programs looking for mycotoxins and “was not necessarily suitable” to ergot alkaloids.

It’s also in the process of updating the Feeds Act regulations “in order to develop a modernized risk- and outcome-based regulatory framework for feed.” As part of this process, the agency is reviewing feed controls and standards, as well as evaluating a proposal to reduce the maximum limits on ergot alkaloids in manufactured feed.

Currently, one kilogram of cattle feed can contain no more than three milligrams of ergot alkaloids. However, there is nothing in the Feeds Act or regulatory guidelines that require feed manufacturers to test their products for ergot alkaloids.

“And per the Feed Act and Regulation, we stipulate that all feed must be safe for livestock, humans and t h e e n v i r o n m e n t ,” Sa v o i e said. “Testing is not mandat o r y. Howe ve r, t h a t b e i n g said, the feed manufacturer is responsible for selling feed that complies with the Feed Act and Regulations, so the manufacturers may have to test the feed in order to make sure it meets the regulatory requirements.”

Tomlinson said that if producers have not tested feed, but think there may be a problem with ergot alkaloids, they should keep an eye out for the symptoms of ergotism in their herds.

“Typically we see clinical signs related to the ergot alkaloids, which cause vassal con-

stitution… so what we see are signs related to that — extremities will be cool, the tails, the ears, the feet, they will be cool to the touch because they are not getting enough blood flow,” he said, adding that the very first sign may be feed refusal and weight loss.

In severe cases, ergotism results in the sloughing off of ears, tails and hooves and can eventually result in death.

“And because vessel constr iction can happen anywhere throughout the animal’s body, it can happen to the uterus too… there is less blood flow to the uterus and that could cause problems to the unborn calf, so the unborn calf may not do as well as expected. It can affect the udder as well, so lactation can be affected,” said Tomlinson. “There are different degrees, so it’s hard to give blanket answers, because the symptoms depends on the toxicity and the length of toxicity.”

Most of the affected producers indicated they had, o r p l a n n e d t o, s e l l c a t t l e

impacted by ergotism, but only one cattle auction mart in the province indicated it had ergot-affected cattle pass through its facility in recent w e e k s. O n e a u c t i o n m a r t owner said producers don’t normally disclose a history of ergot toxicity and that it is “buyer beware.”

While limited information on the issue is available, Savoie said it does not appear that cattle with ergotism pose any risk to human consumption.

“Ergot alkaloids are unlikely to transfer from feed into foods of animal origin, so we are talking eggs, meat and milk,” she said. “That being said, from an animal health perspective, the CFIA i n s p e c t s a l l a n i m a l s p re sented for slaughter at federally registered establishments, so the animal, when it’s going for slaughter, must meet the requirements of the meat inspection act and regulation from an animal health perspective.” shannon.vanraes@fbcpublishing.com

Value shifts away from protein Canadians continue to embrace fat in their dairy products, which creates a market imbalance

BY SHANNON VANRAES Co-operator staff

W

ith more Canadians turning to higher-fat dairy products, dairy farmers are looking at longterm solutions for balancing production with consumer demand. “ We want to satisfy this demand with Canadian butterfat or Canadian cream, but as you know, at this point we are all just trying to catch up with this marketplace,” said Brent Achtemichuk, Dairy Farmers of Manitoba general manager.

“The last thing you want to do is short this market and have to go to a substitute product, so in the interim... we have been allowing for imports of cream to fill this market.”

That said, Achtemichuk noted growing demand for butterfat is a good problem to have.

“We produce milk, we produce all of it, whether it’s butterfat or protein.”

David Wiens

“We’re seeing phenomenal growth with butter over the last three, four years, and certainly it’s something we don’t see slowing down any time,” he said.

Demand for fluid cream has increased 4.4 per cent over last year, while demand for yogurt and ice cream is up 2.4 and 2.6 per cent respectively.

Cheese demand is up 5.6 per cent and demand for butter has increased by 4.5 per cent.

In n o s m a l l p a r t t h a t’s because the stigma of fat being unhealthy has begun to dissipate as new research comes to light.

“Fat is certainly not seen as the enemy anymore,” said Achtemichuk. “Fluid milk of course is down about 1.3 per cent, that’s a challenge, that’s something we have to work on, but this is not just a Canadian phenomenon; the United States is seeing that as well.”

Overall demand for butterfat in Canada was pegged at about 345 million kilograms last July. The Canadian Dairy Commission expects demand will reach 359 million kilograms, an increase of about four per cent, this July.

“Certainly, the demand has been particularly high on the

butterfat side,” said Dair y Farmers of Manitoba chair, David Wiens. “But of course we produce milk, we produce all of it, whether it’s butterfat or protein.”

That means more skim milk is also being produced, which can be more difficult to find markets for and that can create surpluses that must be disposed of. Producers hope a proposed national ingredient strategy — which will create a lower-priced class of dairy ingredients known as Class 7 — will encourage processors to use more skim milk.

Within the quota system, value is also shifting away from protein and onto butterfat to encourage production and signal a change in the market.

“The higher-fat milks, creams, cheeses, higher-fat yogurts, it’s really consistent right across the board, that’s where the biggest growth is, so

in our pricing structure for our milk components, together with the Western Milk Pool, we will be shifting more of the value onto the butterfat, because that is where the greatest demand is,” Wiens said.

There was a time in the 1990s when the dairy industry expected demand for dairy protein to outstrip demand for butterfat, but Wiens said that never actually happened.

“It actually went the other way, to the extreme,” he said.

“Then a few years ago, we did a little bit of kind of tweaking on the pricing signals for butterfat versus protein, and now together with the Western Milk Pool we are really having a very close look at what does that signal need to be so that producers are going to be absolutely encouraged to produce a higher-butterfat milk.” shannon.vanraes@fbcpublishing.com

razilian beef-exporting group Abiec has kept its 2017 export projections unchanged at 1.5 million tons.

That despite a sharp drop in March shipments caused by a federal police probe into alleged corruption and bribes targeting food-sanitation inspectors.

In an interview Mar. 28, Abiec president Antonio Camardelli acknowledged that exports fell over 40 per cent in terms of both volume and revenue in Mar. 20-26 from the prior week, as a number of countries imposed temporary bans on Brazilian beef.

He said shipments were expected to pick up in April, however, after Brazil’s successful campaign to lift bans imposed in many of the country’s main export markets.

Police have accused more than 100 people, mostly inspectors, of taking bribes in exchange for allowing the sale of rancid products, falsifying export documents or failing to inspect meat-packing plants at all.

Prosecutors have yet to present charges and the police allegations have not been proven.

Meat industry officials have sought to downplay the impact of the probe, known as “Operation Weak Flesh,” saying it had pointed to only isolated cases of wrongdoing in a sector that is robust and safe overall.

Brazilian beef exports are expected to grow by seven per cent in 2017, generating US$6 billion of export revenue, according to Abiec’s latest estimate.

While leaving its volume and export revenue forecasts for the year unchanged, Camardelli said Abiec regretted the negative publicity brought on by the police probe.

He added that it had hampered talks to open up new markets for Brazilian beef including South Korea, Japan and Taiwan.

WEATHER VANE “Everyone talks about the weather, but no one does anything about it.” Mark Twain, 1897

Warm weather returning with a vengeance?

Issued: Monday, May 1, 2017 · Covering: May 3 – May 10, 2017 Daniel Bezte Weather Vane

L

ast week’s storm system was a bust, as it slid farther east than expected and therefore, for the most part, only impacted the extreme southeastern portion of our province. The wraparound cloud did keep areas east of the Red River Valley on the cloudy side until last Friday, while western regions received mostly sunshine. By the weekend, spring weather returned in earnest. Now the question is whether it will stick around.

This forecast period carries a fair bit more confidence with it than those of the last month or so. The main storm track looks to stay well away from our region as once again a split flow develops across central North America. This should keep us on the mild and dry side overall.

Our forecast begins with a we a k a re a of low pres sure trying to move in from Saskatchewan. The weather models show this system weakening as it pushes in, bringing only a few clouds and maybe

the odd late-afternoon shower on Wednesday or Thursday.

The overall pattern then begins a shift during the latter part of the week as a broad area of low pressure begins to develop across the western U.S. This low will create a wide area of southerly winds ahead of it, pumping plenty of warm air in our direction late in the week and into the weekend.

Currently, it looks like we should see plenty of sunshine along with daytime highs approaching and possibly exceeding the 20 C mark by the weekend. The mild flow looks to continue into the following week, with the weather models showing daytime highs approaching the mid-20s by late next week. We could see the odd thundershower early next week as a weak area of low pressure tracks through North Dakota, although confidence# in this feature is low at this time. # Usual temperature range for this period: Highs, 9 to 24 C; lows, -2 to +8 C.

This issue’s map shows the total amount of precipitation that fell across the Prairies as a departure from the long-term average for the 30 days ending April 27. Nearly all of Alberta saw above-average amounts during this period, with only a small pocket in the south and far north seeing below-average amounts. The driest region during this period was in south-central Saskatchewan, along with western and extreme southern parts of Manitoba.

Unsettled April weather across Prairies The outlook hints at a cooler and unsettled pattern during the second half of May

BY DANIEL BEZTE Co-operator contributor

A

nother month has come and gone, and depending on where you live it was either a near-average April or you were cold and wet. Listening to the general talk about April’s weather, you would probably come to the conclusion that most areas across the Prairies had a miserable month, but in reality, most places experienced average April weather. I think the main reason for this line of thinking was the warm start to the month. This kind of set a benchmark in people’s minds, and when the second half of the month was cooler, it made it seem like the whole month was just plain cold.

If one area of the Prairies had the right to complain about April’s weather, it would be Alberta. The month started off nice, with plenty of warm e a r l y- A p r i l t e m p e r a t u re s.

Edmonton, for example, saw daytime highs in the low to mid-teens on four of the first seven days of the month.

Unfortunately, after that first week, cool, unsettled weather moved in and the region ended up only seeing two more days with daytime highs in the teens for the rest of the month. When

… when the second half of the month was cooler, it made it seem like the whole month was just plain cold.

age in the Winnipeg region.

The Interlake region was the wet spot, where amounts were nearly double the long-term average.

Who called it?

all of the numbers were added up, it turns out the Edmonton region was the coldest part of Alberta in April compared to average, coming in 2 C below the long-term average. To the north, in the Peace region, temperatures were also colder than average, with a mean monthly temperature about 1.5 C below average. Travelling to the south, Calgary fared a little better, with a mean monthly temperature just slightly below average.

Along with the cold temperatures came plenty of precipitation across nearly all of Alberta. Both Edmonton and Calgary reported nearly double the average amount of precipitation, with about 55 mm falling in both locations. The Peace region was a little above average, with 25 mm reported. What was probably most annoying about all of the precipitation was that it didn’t fall in just one or two big events, but was spread out over several events.

Both Edmonton and Calgary

reported measurable precipitation on 50 per cent of the days in April.

Moving eastward into Saskatchewan, we find conditions warming up a little bit and drying out. This region saw the same warm start and cool end to the month, but when it was all averaged out, Saskatoon ended up reporting near-average temperatures while Regina was slightly below average. Precipitation in both centres was also slightly below average. The only wet areas in Saskatchewan were the regions along the border with Alberta.

Moving into our look at Ma n i to b a’s Ap r il we a t h e r, we see a bit of a mixed bag.

Temperatures in both Brandon and Dauphin were right around average for Apr il. Far ther east, in Winnipeg, April was a touch warmer, with a mean monthly temperature that was just slightly above average. Precipitation was below to well-below average in western regions and was right on aver-

Overall, it was cold and wet across Alberta, with nearaverage temperatures and dry conditions across most of Saskatchewan and western Manitoba, and near-average and wet conditions across north-central and eastern agricultural regions. Now the fun part: whose forecast was closest, and what does our May and June outlook hold?

Not sure who to give the nod to this time around. The Old Farmer’s Almanac called for near- to slightly below-average temperatures and near-average amounts of precipitation. So, it was close for Manitoba and Saskatchewan, but missed out on Alberta. My forecast was lacking in detail, but did discuss that it looked like it was going to start off mild, with a switch to cooler and wetter conditions during the second half of the month. I think I should give the nod to the Old Farmer’s Almanac.

Now on to the forecast for May and June. According to Environment Canada most of the Prairies will see near-average temperatures and pre-

cipitation. The Old Farmer’s Almanac is calling for a warm and dry May followed by a little cooler and very wet June. The Canadian Farmers’ Almanac seems to be calling for a cool and wet May as it mentions storms and wet conditions several times. As for temperatures, it mentions either pleasant or chilly weather a couple of times.

Its June forecast looks to call for wetter-than-average conditions, with the mention of thunderstorms and severe weather several times. Temperatures look to be near average to begin the month, then turning very warm near the end of the month.

Lastly, my forecast. Our current medium-range forecast points toward above-average temperatures and near- to below-average precipitation during the first half of May. There is a hint that we will transition back toward a cooler and unsettled pattern during the second half of the month.

I think we will continue to see this trend going into June, with above-average temperatures and dry conditions dominating for most of the month, with cool and unsettled weather setting back in near the end of June. Personally, I hope everyone gets the exact type of weather they need to get a successful start to the growing season.

StatsCan sees higher corn and soy acres in Manitoba

BY SHANNON VANRAES

*Post-infection protection varies by disease.

et ready to see more soybeans zipping by your truck window during trips to town this summer.

According to Statistics Canada’s first Principal Field Crops report of the season, which looks at seeding intentions for the coming season, Manitoba’s soybean acres are expected to jump 34.6 per cent in 2017. Of the seven million soybean acres expected to be grown across the country, 2.2 million acres could be rooted here.

But the news doesn’t come as a shock to Francois Labelle, executive director for the Manitoba Pulse and Soybean Growers.

“We’re not overly surprised at the big jump in acres, we’ve been hearing this since last fall that these were the type of numbers we’d be looking at this year,” he said. “The success of the last few years, both in terms of yields and the values of the crops, have made it very interesting to a lot of growers, and that’s why we’re seeing the jump.”

New technologies and earliermaturing varieties have also played a key role in increasing acres.

“You know 40 or 50 years ago in Manitoba we didn’t have early varieties and most of the early attempts failed,” Labelle said.

“Now, with all these new varieties and the dollars that are being put into research for earlier varieties, it’s really helping their success in Manitoba.”

But south of the border there are concerns that increased soybean production will contribute to a glut of product. In its own perspective plantings report, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said this year’s soybean acres are expected to top last years at nearly 90 million acres.

The United States is the world’s largest soybean producer, followed by Brazil, Argentina and China.

“When you look at the world production of soybeans, our soy-

Statistics Canada’s seeding intentions report confirms, weather willing, there could be a 36 per cent jump in soy acres

bean acres are not a very big factor in the world picture,” Labelle said.

“Yes, we are still concerned with the world numbers and so on, but we are just a small, small cog in that big wheel.”

Manitoba could also see a huge leap in corn acres this year, with Statistics Canada reporting that the province’s producers plan to seed 475,000 acres with grain corn this spring, representing an increase of nearly 38 per cent over last year.

“It’s hard to pin it on one particular thing, but I would tend to say the leading cause of this is the yields that corn producers have been realizing over the last few years,” said Myron Krahn, president of the Manitoba Corn Growers Association. “It’s not that the commodity value has increased... it’s just that we are pumping out such big yields nowadays, the varieties are so much better than in the past and the farming practices are getting so much better every year, it’s turning corn into a profitable crop based on our ability to produce bushels.”

Better technology has also expanded the areas where corn is grown.

“So we do see corn now in the non-traditional corn-growing areas,” he said. “Now we’re seeing these other areas to the north and to the west successfully growing corn because the varieties mature quickly and they still have tremendous yield potential.”

As with soybeans, the United States has record stocks of corn in reserve — 8.616 billion bushels as of March 1 — but that shouldn’t pose a problem for Manitoba corn growers, said Krahn.

“We are still a net importer of corn. Manitoba producers don’t produce enough corn to satisfy our local markets, so there is still room for corn to grow in Manitoba before we put too much pressure on our local price,” he said. “But the big driver of course is what happens in the U.S., and ending stocks are very, very high, so if they end up pumping out a massive crop again this year they will put pressure onto price.”

Nationally, it’s expected corn acres will increase 12.8 per cent to 3.8 million acres, with Ontario and Quebec seeing increases of around 10 per cent. However, Krahn cautions that seeding intentions don’t always result in seeding realities.

“Acre intentions on corn are always based on the assumption that the spring allows for it. Canola would have a much wider window, you could seed canola from now till the 20th of June, corn does not have that option,” he said. “I don’t think there is a single acre of corn in the ground yet in the province... corn is one of those crops that as you get later into May, there will be producers switching out of corn and into something else, sooner than they would with another crop.”

Labelle agrees that weather will make the final call for soybean acres as well.

“What’s important now is that the weather smartens up so that we can get the crop in the ground,” he said. shannon.vanraes@fbcpublishing.com

MPSG calls for member feedback on future A new membership dynamic may mean shifting focus and priorities for Manitoba Pulse and Soybean Growers as it reaches out for membership opinion

By Alexis Stockford Co-operator staff

M

anitoba Pulse and S oy b e a n G r ow e r s (MPSG) is measuring its own vital signs with what will be the second membership survey conducted by the group in the last five years.

Francois Labelle, Manitoba Pulse and Soybean Growers executive director, says 2013 results will serve as a baseline for the new survey, which covers crops planted, land allotments per crop and common producer challenges. The commodity group’s future direction, including interactions with other pulse and soybean industry groups in Canada and what research should be pursued, will be on the table as results come in.

“We decided that we should do another one to see how things have changed and how people view the organization and what we’re doing, if it’s changed at all,” Labelle said. “We know the demographics of the producers have changed over the years, so it’s really time to make sure that we’re in touch with what our producers think and what they’d like to see moving forward.”

At least part of that demographic shift can be explained by the meteoric rise of soybeans over the last decade in Manitoba.

In a year where Canadian farmers are expected to plant a record seven million acres of soybeans, Manitoba is expected to have the largest percentage jump in the country. According

“We know the demographics of the producers have changed over the years, so it’s really time to make sure that we’re in touch with what our producers think and what they’d like to see moving forward.”

Francois Labelle Manitoba Pulse and Soybean Growers executive director

to the March 2017 principle field crop areas report, Manitobans will plant 2.2 million acres of soybeans, up 34.6 per cent from 2016. The province has seen five consecutive record-breaking years in soybean production.

“The growth in the soybeans has already caused us to shift more into that area and we continue to do that,” Labelle said.

“We’ve got usually two types of soybean growers, I’d say, in Manitoba. We’ve got growers who have been growing soybeans for 20 years and we’ve got growers who are growing them for the first or second time, so we have to make sure that we meet the needs of all the growers. As we continue to grow the acres, we have to make sure we’re on the lookout for potential problems that could happen with continuous growing like that.”

Disease and parasites are among those potential problems. Charcoal and brown stem rot have not been confirmed yet in Manitoba, although Manitoba Pulse and Soybean Growers has said it suspects both are already here. Likewise, the parasitical

soybean cyst nematode (SCN) has been identified in North Dakota and may cross the border at any time, although the sudden death syndrome often associated with SCN has yet to find a foothold. Phytophthora rot, however, was found in 59 per cent of fields surveyed last year by the Manitoba Pulse and Soybean Growers at an average incidence of seven per cent.

Membership has seen some growth since soybeans began increasing in popularity, Labelle said, but he added that those increases have not kept pace with the exponential growth in soybean acres.

“I think we really need to have a look at the size of the farms that we’re dealing with… We have a lot more farms that have been taken over by people and that type of thing, so I think we’ve got larger farms that are affecting the number of growers that we actually have,” he said.

The survey closes May 3 and is available on the Manitoba Pulse and Soybean Growers website. astockford@farmmedia.com

Trump says he was ‘psyched to terminate NAFTA’ but reconsidered While Mexico and Canada are cautiously optimistic, the U.S. president still threatens to kill NAFTA if he can’t get a ‘fair’ deal

BY JEFF MASON AND DAVID LAWDER Reuters / WASHINGTON

P

resident Donald Trump told Reuters April 27 that he was “psyched” to terminate the NAFTA trade deal with Canada and Mexico, but changed his mind after their leaders asked for it to be renegotiated instead.

Trump said in an interview with Reuters that he will not hesitate to change course again and pull the plug on the North American Free Trade Agreement if the negotiations become “unserious.”

His comments came at the end of a long 24 hours during which Ottawa and Mexico City were whipsawed over the Trump administration’s intentions over the 23-year-old trade pact.

“You know I was really ready and psyched to terminate NAFTA,” Trump said.

He decided that it would be better to terminate the trade deal after hearing about Wisconsin farmers’ struggles with new Canadian dairy rules that were shutting out their milk protein exports.

“You saw that, you wrote about it,” Trump said. “And I said I’ve had it. I’ve had it.”

But after administration officials said a withdrawal order was being prepared, Trump said he received phone calls from Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau asking to renegotiate the pact.

“I’m not looking to hurt Canada and I’m not looking to hurt Mexico. They’re two countries I really like,” Trump said. “So they asked to renegotiate, and I said yes.”

News of the possible U.S. pullout from NAFTA rattled financial markets April 26. Relative calm returned the following day, after Trump’s comments, and the Mexican peso strengthened 0.86 per cent against the U.S. dollar, while the Canadian dollar was flat versus the greenback.

Mexico, Canada and the United States form one of the world’s biggest trading blocs, and trade disruptions among them could adversely affect farm, automotive, energy and other sectors in all three countries. NAFTA removed most trade and tariff barriers between the neighbours, but Trump and other critics have blamed it for deep U.S. job cuts.

Trump campaigned for president last year on a pledge to pull out of NAFTA if he could not renegotiate better terms. The United States went from running a small goods trade surplus with Mexico in the early 1990s to a US$63-billion deficit in 2016.

Asked by Reuters what would make NAFTA a fair deal, Trump said: “Open markets,” “open borders for trade,” and, “fairness, no government subsidies so that it makes it impossible for our people to compete.”

He added that if the NAFTA negotiations “become unserious, I will terminate.”

As Trump spoke, a new trade irritant between the United States and Canada emerged, as Boeing Co. asked the U.S. Commerce

“I’m not looking to hurt Canada and I’m not looking to hurt Mexico. They’re two countries I really like. So they asked to renegotiate, and I said yes.”

Department to investigate alleged price dumping and unfair Canadian government subsidies for Bombardier Inc.’s new Canadian-made CSeries jetliners.

Trudeau told a news conference in Saskatchewan he had urged Trump not to withdraw from the trade pact and warned that doing so “would cause a lot of short- and medium-term pain.”

“That’s not something that either one of us would want, so we agreed that we could sit down and get to work on looking at ways to improve NAFTA,” Trudeau said.

Canada sends 75 per cent of its exports to the United States.

Trump said April 25 he did not fear a trade war with Canada, a day after his administration moved to impose tariffs on Canadian lumber.

In Mexico City, Mexican Foreign Minister Luis Videgaray said Pena Nieto had called Trump and spoken with him for about 20 minutes in a conversation focused exclusively on the looming talks over NAFTA’s “renegotiation and modernization.”

Trump has accused Mexico of luring away American factories and jobs with cheap labor and other advantages enabled by NAFTA. During the presidential campaign he accused Mexico of sending rapists and criminals into the United States, and as president, plans a U.S.-Mexico border wall.

One of Trump’s first major acts after becoming president in January was to pull out of the 12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership, negotiated by his Democratic predecessor Barack Obama.

Several agriculture lobby groups in Washington were told U.S Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue met with Trump on Wednesday evening to dissuade him from withdrawing from NAFTA. American Soybean Association president Ron Moore said, “When you’re talking about $3 billion in soybean exports a year, any threats to withdraw from agreements and walk away from markets makes farmers extremely nervous.”

Formal NAFTA talks likely will not get started until August.

The U.S. Trade Representative’s office must first send Congress a notice that starts a 90-day consultation period preceding any negotiations.

A USTR spokeswoman said the notice would not be sent until the Senate confirmed Trump’s nominee for trade representative, Robert Lighthizer.

Check the germ on that wheat seed High fusarium infection means farmers should test and consider a seed treatment before planting

BY ALLAN DAWSON Co-operator staff

T

his is a seeding season where pre-planting testing of wheat seed is an important first step, and seed treatments may be more important than ever.

With unprecedented levels of fusarium head blight infection in Manitoba wheat in 2016, farmers should get their wheat seed tested for germination, consider testing for the presence of pathogens and vigour and also consider a seed treatment.

“If you are concerned about your seed quality get it tested and don’t be surprised if this is a year you need to treat when you normally don’t,” Manitoba Agriculture plant pathologist Holly Derksen said in an interview last week.

“Using a seed treatment I think is going to be a big part of our cereal crops in 2017,” she said during the CropTalk Westman webinar April 19.

Even seed without visible fusarium damage can still be infected with fusarium, Derksen said.

The odd wheat field may have missed being infected by flowering later in the season, she said.

“But if they had fusarium they should seriously consider a seed treatment especially if you’re going into not great conditions,” Derksen said. “If you are going to wait until it’s warm and dry (to seed) and the crop is going to be out of the ground in three days then maybe (they can skip seed treatment) and even with a high infection the germination might still be OK.” In total 96 per cent of the Manitoba 2016 wheat seed that’s been tested at 20/20 Seed Labs is infected with with fusarium graminearum, said Sheri Lafreniere of 20/20 Seed Labs during the webinar. And on average 25 per cent of the wheat kernels had some level of the disease, ranging from almost nothing to as high as 53 per cent. Normally two to five per cent of kernels are infected, she said.

Seed infection rates in 2016 are probably as high as they’ve ever been, Derksen said later.

Seed infected with fusarium and other pathogens is susceptible to many seed and seedling diseases, which can kill the plant before of after emergence, resulting in a reduced plant population and/or plants at different growth stages, Derksen said. Both can result in lower yields and the latter complicates weed and disease control.

Wheat is susceptible to fusarium infection at anthesis. A fungicide applied at early flowering can help protect the crop, but it won’t be as effective if the crop is at multiple growth stages.

While Alberta Agriculture recommends farmers apply a seed treatment every year, Manitoba Agriculture’s position is to leave the decision to farmers, Derksen said. That’s because research has found seed treatments don’t offer much advantage when seed has less than 10 per cent fusarium infection.

Fusarium isn’t the only pathogen that can hurt seed and seedlings. And some of those pathogens in addition to being

Manitoba wheat seed has more fusarium infection by far when compared to Saskatchewan and Alberta. PHOTO: SHERI LAFRENIERE 20/20 SEED LABS The seed planted in both wheat plots had 12 to 15 per cent fusarium infection, but the seed on the left was treated and the seed on the right was not.

seed-borne can also be found in the soil and in crop residue.

“When you know you have it on the seed you definitely know you have the potential for that seed to occur,” Derksen said.

When seed germination is reduced it is important to com-

pensate by upping the seeding rate and trying to plant into ideal conditions and at the proper depth, she said. Seed treatments last for about two weeks after planting.

“You want it (crop) to get through that seeding stage

before the seed treatment wears off,” Derksen said. “You don’t want it sitting in the cold ground for seven days before it even emerges obviously, because you have less time to get through... the most susceptible stage. And that really goes for any crop.”

“Using a seed treatment I think is going to be a big part of our cereal crops in 2017.”

U.S. storms fuel wheat rally

Hitting the field

Much of the winter wheat-growing area got snow, followed by cold temperatures fuelling concerns over crop damage REUTERS

U

.S. wheat futures were rallying sharply May 1, after a late-season storm dumped as much as a foot of snow over the U.S. Wheat Belt over the weekend.

Don Keeney, an agricultural meteorologist said, the storm tracked over western Kansas and Nebraska, eastern Colorado and the Oklahoma panhandle, delivering between two to eight inches of snow in many locations, and more in some isolated pockets.

“It’s not unusual for them to get snow (in late April) but it’s unusual to see those amounts.

So this is a pretty powerful storm,” Keeney said.

Cold temperatures in the storm’s wake pose a risk of freeze damage for 20 per cent of the region’s developing winter wheat crop, the Commodity Weather Group said in a note to clients.

In Kansas, the largest U.S.

wheat state, 82 per cent of the winter wheat had reached the “jointing” stage of growth

by April 23, and 25 per cent of the crop was in the “heading” stage, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said, leaving it vulnerable to freeze injury.

Temperatures are expected to warm into the 70s by the end of next week, Keeney said.

As the reality of the storm was hitting home, futures rallied sharply on concerns of snow, frost and wind damage. Both Kansas City hard red winter wheat and CBOT soft red winter wheat hit their highest since mid-March during the overnight trading session.

Strength in wheat also overnight gains in corn, which were also fuelled by worries about planting delays following the stormy weekend across much of the U.S. The benchmark CBOT July contract broke through 20-day and 40-day moving averages but hit resistance at 50-day moving average.

Organic industry pushes back on regulatory changes Sector spokespersons say moving rules governing organic production under a larger regulatory framework will limit market opportunities and create needless new certification requirements

BY LORRAINE STEVENSON Co-operator staff

A

spokesperson with Canadian Organic Growers (COG) says the organic industry is confident it’s made a strong case against having its rules shifted into a larger regulatory framework.

At issue is the migration of the Organic Products Regulation (OPR) into the Safe Foods for Canadians regulation.

In 2012, the passage of the Safe Foods for Canadians Act (SFCA) resulted in a number of regulations, including the OPR, being combined into that single document.

Organic industry advocates say that’s not where the OPR belongs and should it end up there it would result in needless and confusing new requirements for the sector.

The government consultation period on the SFCA ended April 21.

Canada Organic Growers and the Organic Federation of Canada partnered on a re s p o n s e l i s t i n g re a s o n s not to support the new Safe Foods Regulation as it’s currently proposed and urged the concerned public to voice their views as well.

“We think the big solution to the issues we’re facing now in terms of organics falling through the regulatory cracks is the creation of an Organic Act.” Ashley St. Hilaire Canadian Organic Growers

“I ’m s u re t h e y ’re ove rwhelmed by the amount of comments they’ve received on this,” said COG director of operations Ashley St. Hilaire.

Me e t i n g s w i t h f e d e r a l Minister of Agriculture L a w re n c e M a c Au l a y a n d Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) president Paul Glover have also enabled these concerns to be aired, she said.

“We’re not going to let this issue go. And we’ll continue to meet with CFIA and the minister and the minister’s office as regularly as we can.

We think that the policymakers at CFIA and Health Canada and Agriculture Canada will listen to our concerns and we’ll be able to find a solution.”

One of the major concerns expressed is that by housing the OPR within food safety regulation means significantly limiting what sorts of

products can even be certified organic in Canada.

This would mean only commodities such as food, livestock feed, aquaculture and seed would be permissible for certification. Yet there are sizable and growing market opportunities for non-food products too, said St. Hilaire.

“That would severely restrict the business opportunities that lie ahead for the organic sector of Canada,” she said, adding that there is growing demand for nonfood products such as natural health products, bodycare products, pet foods, textiles and medical and recreational marijuana.

Leaving this product area unregulated also opens up the potential for fraudulent claims being made by nonC a n a d i a n m a n u f a c t u re r s bringing these products into the marketplace, she added.

Other changes would

include having various means of transporting and storing organic goods certified, including the requirement that organically raised cattle could not be transported on the same trucks as commercial non-organic cattle.

The organic supply chain is simply not prepared to m e e t t h e s e re q u i re m e n t s and they aren’t needed to maintain organic integrity anyway, St. Hilaire said.

“Slaughtering, conveying, transportation... it’s not realistic for those service providers at this time to obtain organic certification,” she said.

“There’s no incentive for them to seek it out. And if they had to do it, it would create a real problem for the supply chain in Canada.”

Other concerns raised include that organic certificates would expire after a year, even if the activity and

product certified remained compliant with the Canadian Organic Standards and the operator was in the process of renewing their certificate.

Another concern is that an organic certificate would have to declare the exact organic content percentage of multi-ingredient products on the organic certificate.

Taken together, all these changes have the potential to “undo the entire Canadian o rg a n i c s u p p l y c h a i n ,” a recent COG release stated.

The OPR was established in 2009 through an industry-government partnership and it is enforced by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA).

So much has changed since then, said St. Hilaire, adding that the organic sector has matured and grown significantly and now has a much clearer vision of how it wants to operate. “ We think the big solution to the issues we’re facing now in terms of organics falling through the regulatory cracks is the creation of an Organic Act,” she said. “ We want to work with government to discuss our options for pursuing it.” lorraine@fbcpublishing.com

Common ground found over potluck Members of the Women’s Institute in Woodmore, Man. discover how much they have in common with new-found friends with the Canadian Muslim Women’s Institute

I

t was out of sheer curiosity that Janet Kroeker picked up the phone and called the Canadian Muslim Women’s Institute in Winnipeg a few months back.

The Roseau River woman had heard its president telling a CBC interview about the organization.

“I said, ‘well, that’s interesting,” said Kroeker, a member of Manitoba Women’s Institute herself. She wanted to know more about this group that shared a similar name.

Her call put her through to Yasmin Ali and the two women were soon planning a gettogether — with food involved, of course.

That led to more than a dozen CMWI women travelling out to this corner of southeastern Manitoba to sit down with Woodmore WI ladies for possibly the most internationally flavoured potluck ever eaten in this small village’s hall.

Over macaroni pie and kibbeh and wild rice casserole and biryani — and a mountain of dessert — they visited and shared kids’ photos and talked

about where they and their families came from.

And they learned their other wise unaffiliated groups have a lot more in common than just a name.

The women were encouraged to talk about family origins and how each arrived in Canada. They had the most wonderful conversations, said Kroeker.

“I think that was the most thrilling thing, seeing that happen.”

They also read out a creed from the Federated Women’s Institutes of Canada, then heard it read out aloud again — in Arabic.

T h e Ca n a d i a n Mu s l i m Women’s Institute has a very different start than the now 117-year-old provincial group, but its values are entirely the same.

They formed in 2006 to support women who were newcomers to Winnipeg, often stay-at-home mothers and without any extended families of their own to turn to, explains Ali. Their main funder is the United Way to help the group carry out its programs.

They got organized to help other Muslim women, but as

time’s passed they’ve evolved into a family resource centre serving all, regardless of religious background.

“We help women of all faiths and ethnicities,” said Ali, noting those coming to the CWMI are from countries such as Ghana, Sierra Leone, Djibouti, Somalia, Chad, Ivory Coast, Eritria, Syria as well as Central America and the U.S. Their focus is on settlement of newcomers. One of their most used services is a baby car seat loan program, she said.

Many new parents among their clients don’t even have a driver’s licence or car, let alone a baby car seat. They find themselves in a predicament when they’ve given birth in a Winnipeg hospital that won’t release a child unless it is transported home in a proper car seat.

“So CMWI loans these parents a car seat,” she said. “And the parents are very proud to bring their new Canadian home.”

Linda Hildebrandt, the postmistress at Woodmore, and a member of the local WI for over 30 years, said she was so interested to meet these women and hear about CMWI.

“We’ve been talking about where we’ve all come from. It just brings us all together.”

Linda Hildebrandt Woodmore Women’s Institute

“I’ve always been interested in other cultures,” she said. “And the ladies at our table were just so delightful and informative. We’ve been talking about where we’ve all come from. It just brings us all together.”

That’s how Emita Mahamat felt too. She came from Chad a decade ago, and why she joined the CWMI would sound familiar to rural Manitoba women too.

“When we came to Canada we had no family,” she said. “It was just me and my husband.

We knew no one here. It was very difficult.

“Then I heard about the Canadian Muslim Women’s Institute and I said, ‘that sounds like a place I can visit,’”

she said. She’s now a staff member.

She was very excited about coming to Roseau River and m e e t i n g t h e Wo o d m o r e women, she added. The day tr ip reminded her of how much she misses the countryside. She grew up in a city.

“But I always remember when I was in Nigeria, my mom would take us back to Chad to visit my grandma,” she said. “It’s so different to go out in the country. You can run out there and play and don’t worry about the traffic. And people know each other. In a small place you know each other.”

Ali and Kroeker hope the potluck and introducing their two groups helps make the world a bit smaller.

“This was meaningful for us to come and meet other Canadians outside of Winnipeg and bring our clients to see the people and the life around them and other Canadians,” Ali said. “We all sat around the table and talked about where we all come from.

We have the same dreams and goals that everyone has. We all have that in common.” lorraine@fbcpublishing.com

Prairie fare Time for an oil change?

Oils are generally more healthful than solid fats, but they can become rancid more quickly

BY JULIE GARDEN-ROBINSON NDSU Extension Service

“

H

ave you ever been startled by the unpleasant aroma of a previously opened container of oil or solid shortening?

I have a recipe that works best with a particular type of solid shortening. I hadn’t made the recipe for several months, so I reached into the cupboard and pulled out the container. When I opened the lid, I think my hair blew back. I turned my head to escape the odour.

Well, my hair really didn’t move, but I replaced the lid and walked straight to the trash can and threw it away. Even though I bought the smallest container of shortening I could find, I still didn’t use it before it became rancid. While rancid fat does not cause foodborne illness, some researchers have noted that eating rancid fat may cause chemical changes in our body that could promote chronic disease.

Rancidity is the natural spoilage of fats or oils due to changes in the chemical structure of the fat. Exposure to light, warm temperatures and oxygen can promote the rancidity process. If you deep-fry foods, be aware that moisture in the food and added salt can promote rancidity, too.

While most of us know that oils usually are considered more healthful than solid fats, oils tend to become rancid more quickly than solid fats. Plant-based fats such as canola, corn, olive, peanut and sunflower oil are more unsaturated than animal-based fats such as lard and butter.

Oils provide essential fatty acids (the type our bodies can’t make) and also vitamin E. We need essential fatty acids found in oils to help regulate our body’s biological functions and as part of our cell membranes. Vitamin E acts as an antioxidant that helps protect our cells, tissues and organs.

Because fats and oils are concentrated sources of calories, we have been cautioned to limit them to avoid excessive calorie intake. On a typical 2,000-calorie-a-day diet, the recommendation is about five teaspoons per day contained in foods. One teaspoon of oil has about 40 calories.

Canola oil is one of the better oil choices for any kitchen. PHOTO: THINKSTOCK

Many oils have distinct flavours and properties that make them tasty additions in your cooking. For heart health, nutrition experts recommend replacing solid fats with oils.

Some shortenings are high in trans fats, which are formed when oils are hydrogenated to form solid fats. We need to minimize trans fats in our diet.

When incorporating fats, oils and foods high in fat in your diet, keep these tips from nutrition experts in mind: • Use oils containing monounsaturated fat such as canola, olive, peanut and sesame oil instead of oils high in saturated fat such as coconut and palm oil.

• Try oils high in polyunsaturated fats such as corn, soybean, safflower, sunflower and cottonseed oils instead of coconut oil, palm oil or hydrogenated vegetable fats.

• Use liquid oils in place of butter, lard or hardened vegetable shortening. On average, use about three-quarters cup of oil for every cup of shortening.

Create a salad dressing 1 c. salad oil (your choice) 1/3 c. acid, such as red wine vinegar 1 tsp. garlic powder 1 tsp. onion powder 1/2 tsp. salt (or less, to taste) 1/2 tsp. black pepper Pinch of sugar (optional)

Put all ingredients into an airtight container such as a glass jar. Secure the lid and shake until ingredients are combined. Store salad dressing in the refrigerator. On average, 1 tablespoon of this recipe will have about 100 calories, 11 grams (g) fat, 0 g carbohydrate, 0 g fibre and 60 milligrams sodium.

Creating your own salad dressing with healthful oils can help you trim calories and sodium.

Make this recipe your own signature recipe by substituting different ingredients that you have on hand.

• E njoy foods high in unsaturated fats (omega-3 fats) such as fatty fish (salmon, mackerel and tuna) regularly.

• Incorporate foods high in polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats such as avocados, nuts and olive oil into your recipes.

• Choose healthful oils and be sure to buy what you will use in a reasonable amount of time. Store the oils in a cool, dark, dry place away from heat sources, such as near your stove.

Unopened containers of oil usually last about one to two years on the shelf, depending on the type of oil. Opened oil lasts anywhere from a few months to a year on the shelf. Storing oil in the refrigerator may extend its storage life.

Here’s a recipe that allows you to put on your chef hat and create your own salad dressing. Many store-bought salad dressings are high in sodium, so creating your own can help you trim sodium from your recipes.

Oil: Try canola or olive oil. They have different flavours, but they both provide healthful monounsaturated fats. Canola oil costs much less and will make your homemade salad dressing a bargain, compared with store-bought salad dressings.

Acid: Try different flavours of vinegar, such as balsamic vinegar, or try fruit juice. With fruit juices, you can use more acid and less oil, making a lower-fat salad dressing.

Seasonings: Try any herbs or spices, salt, pepper or chopped vegetables (such as onions or peppers). Add some mustard if you like.

“

T

he thing,” Grant Toews was saying, as Andrew Jackson sat down in his usual chair at the window table in the café and set his coffee cup down before reaching for the cream, “is that if Donald Trump wants Canadian softwood lumber, he can get Canadian softwood lumber. At any price he wants. He has the firepower.”

“So you’re saying President Trump is going to invade Canada for our trees?” Bart Lawson, who was in the chair across from Grant, sounded doubtful.

“What else have we got though?” said Arvid Klassen, who was in the chair by the window.

“Everybody needs wood. So if Trump is going to invade Canada it makes sense it would be for that.”

“Or,” Andrew stirred the cream into his coffee as he spoke, “it could be for our dairy and dairyrelated products. Apparently our dairy farmers have been screwing their American counterparts for years by only producing as much milk as they can sell and then selling it at a fair price to American cheese makers.”

“Blessed are the cheese makers,” said Bart.

“Indeed Bart,” said Arvid. “No one is arguing that. In fact they are too blessed, apparently, so Trump is going to slap a tariff on the milk products they buy which will force the price of cheese higher which is, as I understand it, something Donald Trump’s base has been clamouring for, for years. Make cheese so expensive that people won’t be able to afford the processed stuff at all and will have to buy plain cheddar and do their own processing? Isn’t that what his supporters were always chanting? Make America grate again?”

“Different spelling of grate,” said Grant. “G-re-a-t. That’s what they were chanting. Make America GREAT again.”

“Well that doesn’t make any sense,” said Arvid.

“What do you mean?” asked Bart.

“America’s never been great,” said Arvid. “It’s been rich and powerful, sure, but other than that, it’s barely mediocre. Meh, is how I would describe it.”

“You have a point,” said Bart. “Being rich and powerful doesn’t automatically make you great.

If it did, then Patrick Bargen wouldn’t be such a jerk would he?”

“Pretty sure Patrick would be the exception to that rule,” said Andrew. “We need a plan though, for if Trump does invade Canada. We can’t afford to all end up in some Minnesota gulag.”

“I don’t know what a gulag is,” said Bart, “but that doesn’t mean I want to end up in one.”

“I have a plan,” said Grant. “When we get invaded, the entire population drives down to

the border. We park our cars about a mile away and then we all put on our winter boots and run across the border into North Dakota.” He took a sip of his coffee. “That way they can’t put us in the gulag or wherever.”

“Why not?” asked Arvid.

“Because we’ll be illegal aliens,” said Grant, “and with their new immigration plan, that means they have to deport us back to Manitoba.”

There was a moment of silence.

“That’s brilliant,” said Bart.

“Seems to me though,” said Andrew, “that deporting a million or so Manitobans is going to take a long, long time. That’s a lot of Greyhound buses you need for an operation like that.”

“Eighteen thousand, one hundred and eightyone,” said Arvid.

“We can just walk back,” said Grant. “It’s only a mile.”

“True enough,” said Bart. “When I was a kid, I used to walk a mile to school and back every day...”

“Nobody cares about you walking to school,” said Arvid. “It’s not important at a time like this.”

“A time like what?” said Bart. “It’s Saturday, April 29. Just a normal day.”

“That’s true,” said Andrew, “but still, I have to agree with Arvid. Nobody cares about you walking a mile to school when you were young. At a time like this, or any other sort of time.”

“But what do you think of my plan though?” asked Grant. “Pretty foolproof, don’t you think?”

“It’ll be unnecessary,” said Andrew. “The U.S. will never invade us. We have a weapon they’re way too afraid of.”

“What’s that?” asked Bart.

“Free health care,” said Andrew. “If they invade us all we have to do is attack them with free health care and their whole economy will collapse and all of their belief systems will be called into question and they’ll be way too busy getting tests done to invade anyone.”

“And those tests will all come back positive,” said Grant.

“Exactly,” said Andrew. “Crisis averted.”

“Praise the Lord and pass the hypodermic needles,” said Arvid.

Angel Blue salvia — a unique sage plant This variety produces flowers that are a stunning cobalt-blue colour

By Albert Parsons Freelance contributor

I

n late April and early May I go to a lot of garden centres — not necessarily to buy a lot of plants (although I buy quite a few!) — but to see what’s new, unusual or unique. They will often try new plants, but in limited quantities as a trial run, and usually sell out quickly.

Last year I found a ver y unusual plant that turned out to be a winner in my garden, so will be on the lookout for it again this spring. The plant is a sage (salvia); they are perennials in warmer climates but in our region they are used as annuals, and my plant was Salvia “Angel Blue” (Salvia patens).

A n g e l Bl u e g r ow s a b o u t 60 cm tall and has a multistemmed, bushy appearance with substantial foliage, an upright growth habit (as do most salvia), and is multi-branched. I planted it in a grouping (there were six good-size plants in the pack) and waited for it to

bloom. Alas, I located the plants in too much shade so it was slow to bloom and it didn’t produce much, but what was there impressed me. The tubular flowers were held out almost horizontally by the plants — sometimes described as “flag-like.” What w a s m o s t s t u n n i n g h ow ever, was their bloom colour — pure cobalt blue — not a common flower colour, and described in catalogues as ultramarine.

The common name for this plant is Gentian sage. It has nice foliage so is attractive even when not in bloom, but the unusual flower colour is its main drawing card. This year, if I can find some plants, I’ll put them in my mixed flower border as a contrast to the yellow and orange marigolds and red salvia (scarlet sage). I’ll also try some in a mixed container. If I can’t find plants I’ll look for a source for seeds. Angel Blue salvia can be grown from seed, but it has to be started in early March.

The seed is not covered as it needs light to germinate.

Salvias and sages are easy

It has nice foliage so is attractive even when not in bloom, but the unusual flower colour is its main drawing card.

p l a n t s t o g r ow. T h e y a re drought tolerant and aren’t attacked by many insects or diseases. Once they start to bloom, usually in June, they continue to put forth bloom until fall. They are also cold tolerant and shrug off the first light fall frosts, so they are great plants for the late-summer garden.

When you visit garden centres this spring look for new and unusual plants. If you see Angel Blue salvia, snap it up!

It’s a wonderful plant.

Reena answers more questions Plus, reader feedback and a tip

She took one look at the bread and told me that I wasn’t baking it long enough.

She suggested raising the temperature from 350 F to 360 F and baking it for a little longer so that it is quite brown and not just a light-golden colour.

She told me that they use a 370 F oven. She also suggested instead of making three large loaves to make smaller loaves.

I did this on my next batch and it worked! Next time I will go back to the three loaves but bake them at the higher temperature and for a little longer.

The three loaves give me a much higher loaf. Thought you would like to hear about this.

— Betty

reEna nerbas Household Solutions

Dear Reena, My wife and I completed some home renos that overall went well, but we do have a minor problem. We had a new fireplace installed but did not remove the protective film that covers the chrome finish.

We did have to test the fireplace before all the renos were complete. Apparently the heat from the testing cooked some of the glue used on the protective film to the chrome on the fireplace. How do we remove the “smudges” and get the new fireplace to “gleam?” Thank you.

— David Dear David, Contact the manufacturer to inquire about commercial cleaning products to avoid hurting your warranty. If this is not an option: clean with Windex. To avoid scratches use a very, very soft cloth when cleaning the chrome. The ammonia will help the frame “gleam.” Olive oil, rubbing alcohol and WD-40 are other options (test on an inconspicuous area first).

Dear Reena, There is often an infestation of little fruit flies in the kitchen especially when fruit is on the counter. How do we get rid of them? — Lil

Tip of the week

See the tip of the week for how to save time when peeling potatoes. pHOTO: thINKSTOCK

Dear Lil, Eliminate exposed food sources such as bread, fruit, potatoes and crumbs. Wash dishes regularly and empty garbages, take out compost bucket, clean drains and garburators. Hang dishcloths instead of allowing them to sit in a damp pile; this is a perfect breeding area for flies.

Plant soil is another breeding area for fruit flies, therefore it is important to wait until necessary to carry plants inside for the winter.

Purchase a restaurant-style, funnel cap vinegar dispenser.

Fill with wine or vinegar. Cap

and set near the kitchen sink.

Fruit flies are attracted to the smell of fermenting fruit. Some people like to take this one step further and place the dispenser onto a cardboard glue board.

Extra Tip: Storing bananas during fruit fly season is easier than you may think; store fruit in the fridge. Separate bananas and wrap them individually inside bags such as the bulk vegetables bag. Place all individually wrapped banana bags inside one plastic grocery bag. The bananas won’t turn brown for several days, and they stay fresh longer than if left on the counter.

Reader feedback Re: Sinking bread Hi Reena, I wrote you some time ago about my fergasa bread falling after making it for quite some time. Since then, I contacted the grocery store in my area and talked to the baking supervisor. I explained my situation and she told me that it sounded like I wasn’t baking the bread long enough. I took a sample of the fergasa bread to her the next day because I had just taken three loaves out of the oven.

• Save time when peeling potatoes. Boil water in a large pot.

While water is heating, score each potato skin around the width of each potato. Boil potatoes for 15 minutes. Place potatoes in ice water. When cool enough to touch, pull off potato skins. Prepare as normal.

Life just got easier! ***NOTE: Every user assumes all risks of injury or damage resulting from the implementation of any suggestions in this column. Test all products on an inconspicuous area first.

I enjoy your questions and tips, keep them coming. Need a presenter on the topic: Effective Speaking or The Power of Words? Check out: Reena.ca.

This Old Elevator

I

n the 1950s, there were over 700 grain elevators in Manitoba. Today, there are fewer than 200. You can help to preserve the legacy of these disappearing “Prairie sentinels.”

The Manitoba Historical Society (MHS) is gathering information about all elevators that ever stood in Manitoba, regardless of their present status. Collaborating with the Manitoba Co-operator it is supplying these images of a grain elevator each week in hopes readers will be able to tell the society more about it, or any other elevator they know of.

MHS Gordon Goldsborough webmaster and Journal editor has developed a website to post your replies to a series of questions about elevators. The MHS is interested in all grain elevators that have served the farm community.

Your contributions will help gather historical information such as present status of elevators, names of companies, owners and agents, rail lines, year elevators were built — and dates when they were torn down (if applicable).

There is room on the website to post personal recollections and stories related to grain elevators. The MHS presently also has only a partial list of all elevators that have been demolished. You can help by updating that list if you know of one not included on that list.

Your contributions are greatly appreciated and will help the MHS develop a comprehensive, searchable database to preserve the farm community's collective knowledge of what was once a vast network of grain elevators across Manitoba.

Please contribute to This Old Grain Elevator website at: http:// www.mhs.mb.ca/elevators.

You will receive a response, by email or phone call, confirming that your submission was received.

Goldsborough is especially interested in determining when elevators were demolished. Readers with photos of elevator demolitions and dates of when these occurred can contact him directly at gordon@mhs.mb.ca or call 204-782-8829.

A 40,000-bushel wooden grain elevator at Morris was built by Paterson Grain around 1940. A crib annex was built beside it in 1952, and three steel tanks were added later. After a large terminal elevator was built on the south side of town, use of the facility diminished and it was finally demolished in April 2017. Source: Gordon Goldsborough

Last week's answer

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes.

The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
