$102-million conservation trust fund announced in the Manitoba government’s March 12 budget could help compensate farmers for protecting the environment, says Keystone Agricultural Producers president Dan Mazier.

“That’s how I see the fund being used, but I’m not certain if all of it will be,” Mazier said from his farm near Justice, Man., in an interview March 16.

KAP lobbied for years for an Ecological Goods and Services program to pay farmers to take less productive, at-risk land out of production and protect it by sowing perennial crops or restoring wetlands. It didn’t happen because of a lack of funds, Mazier said.

“People shouldn’t assume the conservation trust will just be delivered on ag lands, but I’d be amazed if ag lands don’t warrant a high priority,” Tim Sopuck, chief executive officer of the Manitoba Heritage Habitat Corporation (MHHC), which will administer fund spending, said in an interview March 16.

That’s because agriculture occupies so much of the province’s land, at least in the south.

“With something this big and new we want to make sure we get it right so we do need to take some time to make sure the details work,” Sopuck said.

Creation of the conservation trust is one of the budget’s highlights, Mazier said, adding it meshes with the provincial government’s Made-in-Manitoba Climate and Green Plan and a $25-a-tonne carbon tax.

The conservation trust money will be turned over to the Winnipeg Foundation resulting in funding “in perpetuity” Sustainable Development Minister Rochelle Squires told reporters during a news conference March 15.

It’s estimated the trust will generate around $5 million a year, but organizations will have to match grants from the trust and that could triple the money going to conservation work, Sopuck said.

“This is an amazing opportunity,” he added. “I don’t know what else to say. For me personally, it’s just the biggest thing that’s ever happened in my career. I would never have imagined something this big happening (a) in the conservation world in Manitoba and (b) that I might have a chance to influence it a bit.”

WIN BIG

The MHHC, which was created by provincial legislation in 1986, works to conserve fish and wildlife habitat in Manitoba through voluntary agreements with landowners to conserve, restore and enhance habitat on their property.

It also receives donations to assist in its work.

The MHHC reports to the Minister of Sustainable Development and is governed by a board of directors appointed by the Province of Manitoba.

It’s unclear when money from the trust will flow, but Sopuck said first it must be deposited with the Winnipeg Foundation and then allowed to build some earnings.

“Canar y seed is a real Canadian crop and tr ue cereal. Its unique starch, protein, and oil components hold great potential for food and industrial applications,” Abdelaal said.

Po s s i b l e h u m a n f o o d and non-food applications include: • Using the small starch granules as “filler” in cosmetics, or fat replacement in foods;

• Using the exceptionally high tryptophan protein as a supplement for other plant or animal protein sources, such as dairy products; and • Using the oil as a healthy alternative to saturated fats. The high composition of polyunsaturated oil also contains high levels of antioxidants.

Fur ther AAFC research will evaluate the properties of the crop’s starch, protein and oil.

Municipalities should get carbon tax revenue: poll Majority says local communities should get between one-half and all of the funds raised by the province

BY LORRAINE STEVENSON Co-operator staff

Operating grants frozen at 2016 levels in this year’s provincial budget

M

o s t Ma n i t o b a n s s a y c a r b o n t a x re ve n u e should go to municipalities — with rural residents slightly more convinced than Wi n n i p e g g e r s a t l e a s t h a l f should be returned to them.

Those are poll results shared by the Association of Manitoba Mu n i c i p a l i t i e s ( A M M ) l a s t week.

The AMM commissioned Probe Research to ask 1,000 M a n i t o b a n s h ow m u c h , i f any, of new carbon tax revenues should be earmarked for municipalities to help pay for new infrastructure to handle weather extremes.

Sixty-seven per cent said municipalities should get “between one-half and all” of carbon tax revenues. The rest (21 per cent) felt municipalities should get less than half, while 11 per cent were unsure.

Municipalities are “on the front lines” when it comes to resiliency planning for the impact climate change will have, Chris Goertzen, AMM president said.

“And we’ve had it confirmed that Manitobans feel the same way,” he said. “Two-thirds see at least half the carbon tax moved to the municipal level so we can tackle the challenges we’re going to face.”

The central component of Manitoba’s carbon policy is to charge a $25-per-tonne tax on carbon emissions, typically generated from burning fossil fuels.

Having carbon tax revenues returned to local government would help offset the cost of the tax they’ll be paying in carbon taxes themselves, he said, noting that costs to run municipal vehicle fleets and energy use for public buildings will all be subject to these taxes.

“It would reduce the burden it puts on their budget,” he said.

But municipalities need this share of carbon tax revenues to get ready for the impact climate change will have too, he said. Enhanced infrastructure for flood protection and water retention for drought are going to be much needed.

more prevalent and less prevalent in fairly dramatic fashion,” he said. “We are already seeing those things on the landscape.”

Municipalities are now looking at development plans and undertaking studies as to what they will need to be ready, he added. Improved public transportation is another component of readiness infrastructure being discussed because costs associated with all forms of transportation are about to become more expensive.

“That will be a challenge for municipalities,” he said.

“At the same time having an efficient public transportation system is going to be important so that people can move around easily, quickly and efficiently and with less effect on the environment as well as on their pocketbooks.”

Funding freeze for municipalities worrisome, AMM president says

The poll, conducted between Nov. 23 and Dec. 14, 2017, found 11 per cent of respondents want all of the carbon tax to go to the municipalities, 20 per cent say most should be, and 36 per cent call for about half to be shared.

Se ve n t y- f o u r p e r c e n t o f r ural residents polled said h a l f s h o u l d g o t o m u n i c ipalities while 64 per cent of Winnipeggers said that amount should be allocated.

Goertzen said an agreement going forward to share these revenues with municipalities would represent an enhanced provincial-municipal partnership for a greener, more climate-resilient province.

The Federation of Canadian Mu n i c i p a l i t i e s ( F C M ) h a s asserted that the best overall way to reduce emissions is to scale up local green innovation with Canadian municipalities now influencing half of all carbon emissions.

Later this month Manitoba’s municipal leaders will gather in Brandon to talk about current climate variability and the challenges ahead related to land use planning and watershed management.

The province is expected to release more details of its climate and green plan, including how it will use carbon revenue in the near future.

unicipalities face more fiscal challenges ahead with operating grants frozen at 2016 levels in last week’s provincial budget, the head of the Association of Manitoba Municipalities (AMM) says.

That freeze is worr i s o m e a s i t d o e s n’t take the cost of inflation into account, said Chris Goertzen, AMM president.

“We do know that this will pose some challenges for municipali ties,” he said. “Inflation eats away at their ability to provide excellent services to citizens.

Un c h a n g e d o p e r a t ing grants come as the p r ov i n c e p r e p a r e s t o introduce a carbon tax which will increase operating costs for municipal fleet services and heating and cooling public buildings.

Mu n i c i p a l i t i e s w a n t to talk further with the p r ov i n c e a b o u t w h e re the carbon tax revenues will be allocated, Goertzen said.

They also look forward to seeing more details regarding the province’s $102-million conservation trust Fund, he said.

This is the province’s n e w e n d ow m e n t f u n d with cash made availa-

ble to public and private groups as well as municipalities, NGOs and post-secondary institut i o n s. It’s i n t e n d e d t o fund projects supporting the province’s Climate and Green Plan to create a more climate-resilient province and economy.

The reality is that municipalities are at the forefront of climate change but also need revenue sources to address the challenges that come with it, he said.

“Certainly water retention and flood mitigation are high on the list of things municipalities are good at and can do to alleviate the effects of climate change,” he said.

T h e 2 0 1 8 p r ov i n c i a l budget will also invest $350 million in the highw a y a n d ro a d s y s t e m .

Goer tzen said municipalities expect the province to be “very strategic” in how that money is spent.

“We’ve been advocating for quite some time that the province have a master plan, that allows for year-round transportation of goods at full weight capacity across this province,” he said. “ We’r e g o i n g t o b e watching closely where those dollars are allocated so we can see provincial highways used at their full capacity.” lorraine@fbcpublishing.com

OPINION/EDITORIAL

Go ask ALUS

I

t’s long been a dream of Manitoba farmers for an ecological goods and services program that would pay them for providing environmental benefits for the good of society at large.

The concept was first proposed by former KAP president Ian Wishart, now provincial minister of education and training, under the moniker ALUS or Alternative Land Use Services.

Gord Gilmour Manitoba led the way in 2006 with a Editor multi-year pilot project in the former Rural Municipality of Blanshard, northwest of Brandon. It was the first time the concept had been field tested in Canada.

For a three-year period the Manitoba Agricultural Services Corporation, the Little Saskatchewan River Conservation District and others worked with area landowners.

Four categories were established, with varying levels of payment to producers: wetlands, natural areas, riparian areas and ecologically sensitive lands.

Landowners within the RM were able to enrol all their land in the first three categories, and up to 20 per cent of the ecologically sensitive lands on their farms, to receive annual payments.

It wasn’t free money with no strings attached. Farmers signed contracts with MASC outlining their intentions, agreed to farm visits where necessary and audits conducted to MASC standards.

Manitoba Agriculture played a major role as a funder and even more crucially, a source of technical expertise.

By anyone’s standards, the program was a hit with farmers in the area. About 21,000 acres were enrolled in the program. Manitoba Agriculture figures show that more than 70 per cent of landowners participated and $1.2 million in payments were dispersed.

The program was especially successful in attracting wetland services, particularly where there was no current agricultural use, granting it protection from drainage for the length of the contract.

Since then the program has spread across the country with projects in Ontario, Alberta, Quebec, Saskatchewan and Prince Edward Island. While that explosion was happening however, the concept languished for several years back home in Manitoba.

It wasn’t until 2014 that the Little Saskatchewan River Conservation District relaunched the program, covering both the original producers and an expanded area around it that totals about one million acres.

Typical projects include seeding permanent cover on marginal cropland, riparian fencing and off-site watering systems to meet the needs of livestock while keeping them out of surface water features.

Now Manitoba farmers may have access to funding that could take efforts like this to a new level. In the recent provincial budget the province has promised a $102-million conservation trust to be placed with the Winnipeg Foundation. The annual interest goes to the Manitoba Habitat Heritage Corporation for investment in conservation.

The idea is the endowment will provide funding in perpetuity for environmental projects within the province (see Allan Dawson’s story on the front page).

The money isn’t specifically earmarked for agriculture, but the simple truth is for it to have any meaningful impact, agriculture must play a role.

In southern Manitoba, where much of the province’s population resides, a large majority of the land base is devoted to agriculture in all its forms. Trying to make environmental gains without the involvement of the largest group of landowners would be akin to trying to improve schools without talking to either teachers or students.

What is yet to be determined is what form these efforts will take, and here we would like to make the case for farmers getting involved in the process sooner rather than later.

Some may be tempted to view the program as window dressing for a carbon tax, and give it a pass on philosophical grounds. That would be a strategic error.

The truth is carbon taxes are happening, and they’re either coming from the provinces voluntarily or are being imposed by the federal government. Neighbouring Saskatchewan’s quixotic (and likely doomed) campaign to avoid a carbon tax aside, this is happening and it is a case where it’s almost certainly going to be better to climb aboard the train than standing astride the tracks shouting ‘stop.’

Saskatchewan is already finding out its stand is an expensive one, as newly minted Premier Scott Moe finds himself making the argument that province should still receive federal funding for emissions reductions, despite being the lone holdout in Confederation.

Agriculture doesn’t want to make the same mistake here at the provincial level. The environmental trust will place an estimated $5 million on the table every year to be used for conservation purposes.

Rather than coming to the table determined to defend agriculture, farmers need to look for ways these finds might help farming and the natural environment coexist.

This is an opportunity to turn a carbon tax into a carbon benefit. gord.gilmour@fbcpublishing.com

Once more, with feeling

BY MICHAEL LALIBERTÉ Chicken Farmers of Canada

I

n the recent article entitled Supply Management Protects Few, Could Harm More, the authors play the same old tune about supply management.

Supply management has not prevented the conclusion of any trade agreements. It has existed in Canada for over 40 years and in that time, Canada has successfully negotiated over a dozen trade agreements with more than 50 countries.

Secondly, it’s a flat-out myth that dismantling supply management in Australia and New Zealand has been “beneficial” to consumers.

Australia dismantled its supply management system in 2001, and consumers have yet to see the price of milk decrease. New Zealand’s consumers haven’t seen any savings either.

This is because supply management does not set retail prices. Retailers set retail prices, accounting for factors like brand positioning and logistics. That’s why the price of chicken can vary wildly from store to store. For example, in Ottawa, the price of boneless, skinless chicken breast can range from $8.80 to $26.43 per kg – an almost $18 price difference for the same product. The farmer who produced those products received the exact same amount.

Chicken farmers in Canada receive an average of $1.54 per kg, which mainly covers the cost of feed and chicks. Since 2013, the price those farmers receive has decreased by 10.2 per cent, while the price at retail has increased by almost four per cent. This demonstrates the complete disconnect between farm gate returns and retail prices.

Let’s look at that from a food-service perspective: In most cases, the farmer’s share is less than the taxes on a chicken meal, and much less than the tip or gratuity for the server.

OUR HISTORY:

T

Supply management farmers’ income comes only from the marketplace. They do not receive subsidies, meaning that only chicken consumers pay for chicken. In other commodities, producers receive substantial financial support from their governments. In these cases, consumers pay twice for these goods – once through their taxes and again when they buy the product.

Supply management has actually helped protect low-income consumers from recent upticks in food price, because other proteins have actually increased significantly in price, whereas the domestic prices of milk, eggs and poultry have remained consistent. Chicken has consistently been the least expensive protein available. Since 2013, for example, the overall price of chicken at retail only rose 3.5 per cent, whereas beef and pork prices rose up by 32.2 per cent and 13.6 per cent respectively.

Supply management generates over 348,000 agriculture and agri-food jobs in the production and processing of chicken, eggs, turkey and dairy products. Combined, these five sectors contribute $29.6 billion to Canada’s gross domestic product (GDP) and over $6.9 billion in tax revenues to the government. In the chicken sector alone, 2,803 farmers and 191 processors sustain 87,200 jobs, contribute $6.8 billion to the GDP and pay $2.2 billion in taxes, while sustaining fellow Canadian farmers by purchasing 2.6 million tonnes of feed grain.

Stop playing the same old tune; dismantling supply management will not resolve Canada’s poverty and food insecurity issues. Supply management provides stable rural employment at living wages, while offering all Canadian consumers safe, affordable proteins. It is, in fact, part of the Canadian solution.

Michael Laliberté is executive director of the Chicken Farmers of Canada.

March 1980

hat’s 1.75 per cent per month, not per year, if you had overdue accounts with Manitoba Pool in March 1980. In a speech in Washington, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Bob Bergland blamed current low grain prices on high interest rates rather than on a reduction in exports due to the embargo on grain exports to the Soviet Union which President Jimmy Carter had imposed after its invasion of Afghanistan.

Bergland said customers were reluctant to buy because of the high costs of financing inventories. Manitoba Premier Sterling Lyon called for the four western premiers to meet with the governor of the Bank of Canada to discuss the high rates, which he attributed mainly to a high federal deficit.

As today, grain transportation was in the news that month. Thunder Bay was set for an early opening, but a Cargill trader expressed concern about a shortage of lake vessels for the coming season. At a meeting in Winnipeg, CN president Ron Lawless welcomed the decision by the three Prairie Pools to support a change in the Crow rate for the railways, but warned that more efficiencies were needed in the system and that more hopper cars were not the only answer. However, more hoppers were on the way — late in 1979 the wheat board had made the controversial decision to buy 2,000 hoppers with producers’ money, and our March 13 issue featured a photo of Premier Sterling Lyon and Agriculture Minister Jim Downey standing on one of the 400 cars that the province had leased for the grain fleet.

In the same issue Downey announced that orders-in-council had been passed to allow Manitoba chicken producers full participation in the national marketing agency. However, producers were concerned about overproduction and low prices — the Manitoba chicken producers’ annual meeting heard that Canadian stocks in storage had risen from 29.1 million pounds in 1979 to a “disastrous” 43.1 million pounds in 1980.

COMMENT/FEEDBACK

A meatless Canada? Not just yet Dalhousie University’s recent poll shows vegetarian and vegan numbers are steady, not rising

BY SYLVAIN CHARLEBOIS Dalhousie University

C

anadians love meat. Many of us have been dedicated to our favourite protein source for years. But other sources of protein are emerging as potent alternatives to animal protein.

Demand is up for vegetable proteins like pulses, as well as for fish and seafood, Loblaw has even started selling cricket flour and is trying to make insect consumption mainstream. As a result, some believe vegetarianism and veganism may be on the rise in Canada.

Not so much, it seems. According to a recent poll conducted by Dalhousie University, it appears that the number of vegetarians and vegans have remained the same, but the number of Canadians who follow specific dietary practices is clearly on the rise.

Results suggest that 7.1 per cent of Canadians consider themselves vegetarians, and 2.3 per cent vegans. These numbers are fairly consistent with several other polls conducted over the last decade or so.

Vegetarians maintain a meat-free diet, while vegans also abstain from any animal or animal-derived products, including dairy, eggs, and even honey. We should note that there are several variations of vegetarianism and veganism. But even if these percentages are not shockingly high, we are getting some indication that things may get more complicated in the future.

Results show that 32 per cent of Canadians do observe some sort

Are more Canadians becoming vegetarians or vegans? A recent poll by Dalhousie University suggests the number of vegetarians and vegans among us has likely remained the same, but things are getting complicated out there.

of committed dietary regime. This number is one of the highest we have seen in recent years. Women are 0.6 times more likely to consider themselves vegetarian or vegan than men. Level of education also seems to be a significant determinant. People with a university degree are three times more likely to consider themselves vegetarians or vegans than those with a high school diploma. Consumers living in British Columbia are 0.6 times more likely to identify as vegetarians or vegans than consumers living in the Prairies or the Atlantic region. Wealthier people also seem to commit more to specific diets.

Consumers who earn more than $150,000 per year are twice as likely to consider themselves vegetarians or vegans than consumers earning less than $80,000.

Nothing very surprising here, but younger consumers are really making things interesting. Consumers under 35 are three times more likely to consider themselves vegetarians or vegans than consumers who are 49 or older. Three times — that is a lot.

Experts argue that the rise of specialty diets is due to consumers associating vegetarianism and

veganism not just with animal welfare, as they did in the past, but also with healthier and cleaner products. Others are simply rejecting the model of industrialized agriculture altogether, but health appears more and more to be a factor.

In fact, the poll suggests that over 12 per cent of Canadians are diabetic, according to the survey.

Consumers aged 49 and up are twice as likely to adopt a diabetic diet over time, than those under the age of 35. As our population gets older, it is difficult to see how that number could drop any time soon.

Questions concerning allergies also garnered interesting results.

Almost 12 per cent of Canadians mentioned having allergies, and over 20 per cent of households with more than two children declared having to constantly watch for a l l e r g e n s. T h e s e a re a l a r m i n g results.

For many years now, allergens have been a nightmare for food companies and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency alike. So far, in 2018, of the 35 food recalls issued by federal regulators, almost a third were due to the presence of ingredients undeclared on the label. Oddly though, consumers in the Prairies

are two times more likely to suffer from food allergies than consumers in Quebec.

Religious beliefs are also enticing Canadians to choose specialty products like halal or kosher foods, but results show these categories remain somewhat marginal. A total 2.3 per cent of Canadians mentioned eating halal foods regularly while less than one per cent choose kosher products. Supply remains an issue across the country, as halal and kosher foods are not always easily available. But with our ambitions around immigration, this could change.

Obviously, this is just one survey which polled only 1,049 Canadians.

As with any survey, results must be taken with a grain of salt, no pun intended. Still, these results point to a much more heterogeneous food demand than we have seen in recent years. No wonder Air Canada now offers 18 different special meal options for its international flights.

Catering companies and restaurants also know very well that serving patrons is an art that is slowly becoming more about customizing servings than delivering a standardized meal.

So, if you are one of those who have no specific dietary needs of any sort, you are still in the majority. But with a younger generation seeking more dietary nuances, this could change over the next decade or so.

Bill C-49: Helping the railways farm the farmers This legislation is flawed and will deregulate railways by stealth

BY KEN LARSEN National Farmers Union

H

ere we go again! Some Prairie farmers cannot ship their grain. Grain companies and their friends are blaming the railways for not getting the grain to port. After months of railway lobbying, the federal government is pushing new transportation legislation, claiming Bill C-49 will punish the railways for neglecting grain shipments.

Yet this legislation effectively deregulates those same railways. The railways are quiet and the grain companies are happy.

Anyone paying attention should notice a lot wrong with this picture.

Is it really true that Prairie grain is not moving to port? If you believe the grain companies and their friends in the Ag Transport Coalition, the railways are ignoring their rail car orders. Yet, the more grain the railways haul, the more money they make, so this claim does not meet the smell test.

Me a s u r i n g g r a i n m ov e ment is a fairly simple task.

The Canadian Transportation Agency (CTA) and the indep e n d e n t g r a i n m o n i t o r, Quorum Corp., are objective

sources of information. Every December the CTA audits the railways and looks at how much export grain they move annually. As of Dec. 31, 2017 the railways moved 43.2 million tonnes of grain to port, up 6.9 per cent compared to 2016 — more grain than ever. Not bad for a fall and early winter with record rain and snow in the six mountain ranges between the Prairies and the West Coast!

On March 6, 2018 Quorum reported, “Year to date western Canadian shipments from port terminal elevators at Week 30 are five per cent lower than the same period last year and one per cent lower than the five-year average.” While almost rounding errors, one per cent less is still a lot of tonnage, however, remembering India imposed high tariffs on Canadian pulse exports, it is no surprise overall shipments are slightly lower.

The numbers show the railways are doing a good job of moving grain to port. That has not changed in the last three months, let alone the past year.

Is the constant buzz from some farm groups that should know better simply a reaction to individuals who can’t deliver to their local elevator? Since the system is delivering enough

In the last nine years of the CWBcontrolled system, demurrage charges were near zero and usually offset by despatch earnings for getting ships loaded ahead of time.

grain to port, we must conclude that grain companies are ordering cars based on priorities other than meeting local farmers’ requirements.

Why? Grain companies can use local car shortages as an excuse to pay farmers less for their grain. They get away with it because almost two-thirds of Prairie delivery points are served by just one grain company, making farmers captive to the company at the closest delivery point.

More than one farmer has heard something like the following from an elevator agent shedding crocodile tears: “We’re so sorry the price is down and you’ve heard how the railways

are not moving the grain, but I’ve got a little space in my elevator if you need the money and can live with the higher basis.” Dazzled by the pseudoeconomic term “basis,” the farmer sells for less and the grain company pockets the difference.

When the farmer-controlled Canadian Wheat Board (CWB) was responsible for selling grain it optimized the system to return the maximum amount of money to farmers and organized grain shipments to maximize the shipping capacity of the overall system.

The extra money was passed back to farmers. In the last nine years of the CWB-controlled system, demurrage charges were near zero and usually offset by despatch earnings for getting ships loaded ahead of time.

Without the CWB, the grain companies are in a “no lose” game with Prairie farmers captive to their delivery points.

They use their local monopolies to maximize their own profits while blaming the railways and charging farmers basis for any extra costs they might incur.

By accepting the blame for plugged elevators, railways position themselves to lobby

for further deregulation. Thanks to Ottawa, they may well be successful.

With Bill C-49’s amendments to the Transportation Act creating mile-wide loopholes for the railways, the idea any grain company is going to offend the railways with a reciprocal penalty or court case when they can just take it out of the farmer’s grain cheque is beyond stupid — especially when 90 per cent of Prairie delivery points are serviced by just one railway.

Instead of deregulating the railways via Bill C-49, the government should be clipping the grain companies’ market power over farmers through regulation.

Bill C-49’s amendments to the Transportation Act do nothing but add the railways to the list of businesses “farming the farmers.”

Since the CWB was killed, the grain companies are smiling all the way to the bank and the amended Transportation Act will soon let the railways join them — unless the Senate provides sober second thought.

ment will be a high priority for the trust.

“We are certainly moving forward on initiatives that will ensure our wetlands are there for future generations,” she said.

“We are going to restore a lot of wetlands. Seventy per cent of our wetlands have been lost over the last century. I don’t anticipate that we will be able to restore all of those wetlands... but I certainly do think we can do a better job at enhancing (and) protecting our wetlands.”

It makes sense for improving water quality and supplies, especially as the province tries to mitigate and adapt to climate change, Sopuck said.

“When we have more wetlands, woodlands, grasslands, riparian areas, the landscape can deal with those extremes a little bit better,” he said.

On March 15 the Manitoba government also unveiled Bill 16, the Climate and Green Plan Implementation Act, which incorporates five separate acts connected to the environment and economics, including: • A new climate and green plan act that would replace The Climate Change and Emissions Re d u c t i o n A c t a n d T h e Sustainable Development Act.

• A new industrial greenhouse gas emissions control and reporting act.

• A mendments to The Water Protection Act, The Income Tax Act and The Fuel Tax Act. “We recognize that climate change is a reality,” Squires said.

“The time to act is now…

“The environment is our most precious asset. Without fresh air to breathe, without clean drinking water and without the great outdoors, we don’t have much.”

Squires said an expert advisory council to provide advice and guidance to reduce emissions and help the province adapt to climate change will soon be named.

Mazier said he hopes a KAP member is appointed.

The new legislation includes the carbon tax, which will raise the price of various fuels. Gas will rise by 5.32 cents a litre; diesel, 6.71 cents per litre; natural gas, 4.74 cents per cubic metre and propane, 3.87 cents per litre.

The government estimates the carbon tax on gasoline will cost the average household $125 extra a year.

All marked fuels used in agriculture, fishing, forestry, mining and other sectors, will be exempt — a move welcomed by KAP. However, the carbon taxes paid by companies that supply goods and services to farmers will be passed on to farmers, Mazier added.

There’s some help for big emitters though, including the Koch nitrogen plant in Brandon, to keep such operations competitive.

Until 2019, all entities that are to be included by the government in the Output-Based Pricing System (OBPS) will receive an exemption or a refund from the carbon tax on their emissions from fuels consumed on site and process emissions.

The OBPS will apply to those emitting at least 50,000 tonnes

of carbon dioxide equivalent per year with smaller emitters able to opt in upon review and approval by the government.

Mazier expects this will give Manitoba’s canola-crushing plants a break.

The government says the carbon should encourage citizens to emit less carbon, but some observers don’t think it’s high enough to do that.

The Manitoba government says if it didn’t introduce a carbon tax, the federal government would enforce its own starting at $10 a tonne this year and rising to $50 — twice as much as Manitoba’s — by 2022.

Manitoba’s plan is better because it will cost less, cut emissions by an extra 80,000 tonnes and let Manitobans decide how to spend the estimated $248 million in annual revenue the tax will raise, Premier Brian Pallister said in October.

“All the revenue generated from the carbon price will be given back to Manitobans (over the next four years through lower personal income taxes, smallbusiness tax reductions and rolling back the retail sales tax to seven per cent by 2020),” Squires said.

The budget puts 2018-19 estimated government spending on agriculture at $187 million. That’s similar to what the government expects it will spend by the end of

the current fiscal year March 31.

However, it’s 2.3 per cent lower than the $191.5 million budgeted for in 2017-18.

The government has also slightly increased funding for the Farmland School Tax Rebate to $44.5 million from $41 million.

KAP is disappointed the budget offered no relief on education tax on farmland, Mazier said.

“Our work is already showing that assessment rates (on farmland values) are probably going to go up by about 20 per cent,” he said. “Again we are going to see some unimaginable tax increases for individual producers depending on where they are.

I don’t know any other business in Manitoba, or all of Canada, that would put up with 20 or 50 per cent tax increases.”

Because the government didn’t address education taxes Mazier gave the budget a C+ or B- grade.

The Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association welcomed the increase in the small-business tax deduction to $500,000 from $450,000 announced in the budget.

“This will put Manitoba in line with the other Prairie provinces,” association director William Pallister said in a news release, but the association worries about the “devastating” carbon tax. allan@fbcpublishing.com

Beef Producers still seeking carbon details The provincial budget still leaves key issues undefined, the producer group says STAFF Manitoba Beef Producers is giving the provincial budget a passing grade, but has a few reservations.

General manager Brian Lemon says the group understands the province’s choice to design a provincial carbon tax ahead of the federal government imposing one, but added even with the budget being dropped, there’s still plenty of questions.

“I don’t know that we’ve seen any detailed answers yet,” Lemon said.

“We still believe that if they’re going to meet their goals on the carbon reduction that the cattle producers need to play a part and certainly we’re looking forward to the opportunity to doing that.”

MBP also applauded the funds set aside for green projects in the budget, but Lemon added they would have liked carbon tax money to be kept apart from other revenue and more fully reinvested for carbon reduction initiatives.

Lemon also raised concerns over what he calls an “inconsistency” in provincial policy, pointing to previous investments to encourage energy

efficiency. Manitoba Beef Producers has argued that carbon incentives should be retroactive to reward producers who have already implemented beneficial practices.

“We’re looking for that same recognition of investment that our producers have been making in terms of grasslands and pastures and the carbon sequestration that has long been part of beef and cattle production in Manitoba,” he said.

MBP hasn’t discussed support for specific carbon sequestration initiatives yet with the province, although carbon sequestration looms large in MBP’s own carbon policy. There are no future meetings currently scheduled, he said.

“There’s so much good that is done by cattle producers and the grass that they put animals on in terms of carbon sequestration, in terms of water quality, in terms of flood mitigation,” he said. “The province is going through a process right now looking at drainage regulations.

There’s so much good that’s done when you have perennial land cover.

We’re looking forward to our production practices being recognized for all the benefits they bring.”

grain moving Continued from page 1

The 2013-14 grain shipping backlog cost western farmers around $6.5 billion and the current one will cost billions again, Mazier says in his remarks.

Mazier says the first step is to get grain moving, followed by quick passage of Bill C-49, the Transportation Modernization Act. “I fully expect the railways to make the investments necessary to get the job done,” Mazier’s presentation reads. “And if it requires that senators and members of Parliament work all day and all night to get Bill C-49 strengthened and passed into law, then I expect that of you as well. We will not accept excuses about parliamentary procedures, political egos, or partisan grudges preventing an amended bill from becoming law by June. If you do not hold the railways accountable for their failures, I can promise you that we will hold you accountable for yours.”

Canadian farmers are forced to invest more in equipment than other farmers because of a short growing season. Sometimes farmers must work day and night for the same reason.

The short-term solution to the backlog is similar — getting more rail workers and locomotives to move more products, Mazier says.

“I would encourage this committee, using all the tools possible, to monitor and support the ministers (Lawrence MacAulay, Agriculture and Marc Garneau, Transportation) so we can all keep the pressure on the railways to get the backlog cleared,” Mazier’s presentation says.

KAP also wants C-49 amended to give the Canadian Transportation Agency (CTA) authority to initiate service investigations when it sees fit and order solutions.

Now CTA intervention is only triggered by a formal complaint.

David Emerson’s 2016 report to the federal government on changes to the Canada Transportation Act recommends giving the CTA that power.

“We agree that these measures are necessary to help resolve the service-related challenges that appear to be inherent to a monopolist marketplace like Canada’s grain transportation system,” Mazier’s presentation says.

KAP also insists soybeans — Manitoba’s third most planted crop at more than two million acres in 2017 — and related products, be added to the Schedule II list of grains covered under the maximum revenue entitlement (MRE).

“Currently, the transportation costs for soybeans are as much as 40 per cent higher per car than MRE-covered grains with still no promise of getting these cars,” Mazier’s presentation says. “There is no reason that farmers who have innovated and adapted to changing conditions should be denied the same protection from price exploitation by a monopoly industry that other crops receive.”

The railways must pay a price when they fail to provide service, Mazier says.

“They must not be allowed to gouge captive shippers of soy-

beans, and their performance must continue to be carefully monitored and action taken when they fail,” his presentation says.

“I would like to make one point very clear. It is critical that Bill C-49 pass with these amendments before the house rises in June. This way shippers and carriers will know what their obliga-

tions are under the law and will make the needed investments to ensure that the 2018 crop is delivered to customers on time and we do not suffer the same economic hardships as a country that we have now suffered twice in less than half a decade.”

The 2013-14 grain backlog took the grain industry by surprise, but not this time thanks to

data collected by the Ag Transport Coalition (ATC), Mazier says.

At the start of February ATC data shows CP and CN Rail delivered on time 74 and 14 per cent, respectively, the cars ordered for Manitoba.

“Things only got worse from there,” Mazier’s presentation says.

In their worst week in February CP delivered 17 per cent of Manitoba ordered cars on time, while CN didn’t deliver any of the ordered cars. (However, CN says it did deliver some back ordered cars then.)

“On average the railways combined only delivered 29 per cent of the cars on the want week for the month of February, which created a backlog of 28,000 cars, leaving more than 30 ships waiting for grain off the coast in the Port of Vancouver,” Mazier’s presentation says.

CN and CP Rail were also scheduled to speak to the agriculture committee March 19 as were the Canadian Canola Growers Association, Canadian Federation of Agriculture, G3 Canada Limited, Western Grain Elevators Association, Grain Growers of Canada, Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan, Alberta Wheat Commission and Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association. allan@fbcpublishing.com

Confronting climate change through the power of plants Carbon sequestration was front and centre as producers gathered in Pipestone to ponder how agriculture could change the conversation around climate change “I think now it’s time to make a midcourse correction and we need to learn an awful lot of skills about moving in a more regenerative way. I think we understand the principles, but the practices, I don’t think we know them all. I think there’s a lot of learning to be done, but there’s tremendous innovation among farmers.”

lain Hjertaas insists far mers already have the key to solving climate change. It’s growing in their fields.

Ground should never be bare, the holistic management instr uctor argued in Pipestone March 14, part of an event dissecting agriculture’s role in climate change.

Hjertaas argued that conventional annual cropping leaves gaps in early spring and in fall after harvest where nothing is growing and solar energy is being wasted.

Instead, he said, longer green cover would maximize time plants are available to photosynthesize, taking carbon dioxide out of the air and converting it to carbon as they grow. That same carbon is later stored in the soil as roots and residue break down into organic matter.

That concept of carbon sequestration became a key point of the day.

Course correction?

H j e r t a a s’s i d e a s re p re s e n t what is increasingly called “regenerative agr iculture,” methods focused on building soil organic matter, jumpstarting soil biology, lessening input use, and increasing diversity both above and below the ground.

“I think it’s a process we’re all learning that we know, kind of, where we’re going, but the type of agriculture that we have today didn’t develop quickly either. It took a long time and we’ve gained an awful lot of skills along the way,” Hjertaas said. “I think now it’s time to make a midc o u r s e c o r re c t i o n a n d we need to learn an awful lot of skills about moving in a more regenerative way. I think we understand the principles,

but the practices, I don’t think we know them all. I think there’s a lot of learning to be done, but there’s tremendous innovation among farmers.”

Some of those methods have come to include things like cover crops, intercrops and mob grazing, with livestock intensely grazing a small area for a short period of time, followed by a long rest per iod for the land, something advocates argue encourages more forage production, deeper roots, and therefore more carbon sequestration and organic matter. By the same token, grazing cover crops has been offered as an option for farmers looking for some economic return on what would otherwise be a pure expense for the sake of soil health.

for the last two decades. In 2014, he estimated that he sequestered 239.61 tonnes of carbon per hectare on his mob grazed acres, a number that he suggests is on an upwards trend, jumping over six tonnes of carbon per hectare per year for every year his land is under regenerative management.

Michael Thiele of the Ducks Unlimited Grazing Club is a n o t h e r vo i c e a rg u i n g f o r rotational grazing to bolster forage growth and, therefore, stored carbon.

Thiele helped spearhead a t h re e - y e a r p r o j e c t w i t h Brandon-area farmer Brian Harper of Circle H Farms on high density mob grazing.

Those results have become central to Thiele’s efforts to sway producers towards planned grazing and regenerative agriculture.

Circle H Far ms repor ted longer grazing seasons, excess forage and a 9,400pound increase in beef taken off the same pasture within three years, along with a 0.7 per cent increase in organic matter, Solvita test jump from 26.6 to 71.7 and a dramatic jump in biodiversity, both in the soil and in terms of wildlife like birds.

“To me, this is the solution we’ve been waiting for, for 30 years, not only for agricul-

ture but conservation — soil, water, wildlife. It’s just very few are kind of getting it yet,” Thiele said. “Luckily, producers are the ones who are getting it first. Conservation is kind of struggling, because how can the thing that caused the problem, agriculture, be the solution? It can. We just change agriculture.”

Still fringe But while advocates like Thiele and Hjertaas cite gains, regenerative agriculture remains a small portion of the overall farm landscape.

Profit has seemingly not been the persuasive argument that Thiele hoped when results of the three-year study came in, with farmers reluctant to move away from established practices, he said.

Livestock have been critical to many regenerative agriculture success stories, although Hjertaas says that farmers can build soil health without them, albeit not as quickly.

Large-scale agriculture, however, makes livestock integration a hard sell for increasingly specialized, increasingly large, farms.

Regenerative agr iculture advocates often argue that b e e f a n d g ra i n p ro d u c e r s could team up to solve that issue. In practice, however, sharing livestock hits logistical hurdles if producers don’t share the same vision, can’t

reach an agreement or fail to find another producer in the area willing to enter such a deal.

A co-operative cattle herd, bolstered by outside investors, might be the solution t o t h a t p ro b l e m , H j e r t a a s suggested.

“So we have this huge pool of cattle that is then managed by a group of existing cattle producers that have the knowledge to run that,” he said. “That then has to be shared out to grain producers who have the desire; they want to improve soil health; they know that they need to sow something different down, cover crops something like that, and here is this pool of cattle that is available for this purpose.”

Revenue from cattle fed and sold through the program would then be shared between grain farmers, cattle operators and investors involved with the co-operative.

L i k e w i s e, H j e r t a a s d o e s not expect anyone to bankrupt themselves for the sake of their soils. Benefits from the system will not happen overnight, he warned, and may, in fact, take years where the farmer still has to make a profit.

He also does not expect farmers to totally do away with inputs. High-input agriculture also leads to high greenhouse gas emissions, he

said, but added that he has no issue with a farmer turning to fertilizer or herbicide to solve a problem. The concern, he said, comes when inputs become habitual without solving the underlying problem.

“They need to understand what soil health is and they need to understand that when soil gets healthy it becomes more profitable, but it’s not a quick fix, so they have to think about, on their own operation with their own management, what they can do to change that will achieve those goals, while at the same time not sinking the farm doing it and it’s little steps, I think,” he said.

Government funding

The province has insisted that there is money coming in for green projects, although it’s unclear if anything on the regenerative agriculture wish list will see that money.

Manitoba officially passed its $25-per-tonne carbon tax March 15, to take effect in September. The announcement was made soon after Manitoba joined the PanCanadian Framework on Clean Growth and Climate Change in late February.

The province is sticking to its guns on carbon price, a schedule that would keep Manitoba in line with federal policy for only 2-1/2 years as federal carbon tax policy ramps up to $50 a tonne by 2022, but provincial officials argued that joining the framework was necessary to access up to $67 million in federal funds to decrease greenhouse gas emissions.

At the same time, the province has promised $40 million for “projects in Manitoba ded-

icated to help reduce emissions and adapt to climate change,” a definition that extends to public transportation projects, natural restoration and energy efficiency in buildings.

For his par t, Hjer taas is skeptical of both the provincial and national climate plans. “ T h e y ’re n o t d o i n g a n ything to deal with actual climate change,” he said. “That’s the political talk, but it’s not solving the problem. The only way we can solve it is putting the carbon back into the ground and make the hydrological cycle cool the earth more effectively. That’s in our hands... if you want it to happen rapidly, what you do is you pay us to do that. That’s what will make it roll.”

The holistic management instructor would see farmers paid directly for the carbon they sequester; something he says is necessary to get new producers to buy in.

For his part, Thiele would like to see new grazing practices and farmer education get a nod from those government funds.

“We’re doing work to show how much carbon we can sequester just by using cows, good grazing management,” he said, pointing to the high density grazing experiment at Circle H Farms.

“With the 7-1/2 tonnes that Brian Harper is sequestering per acre per year, 7-1/2 tonnes times $25 a tonne, that’s a lot of money,” he said.

“It’s regenerative ag. This is a revolution. We are going to change how agriculture gets done, how we think about agriculture.” astockford@farmmedia.com

T

he week ended March 16 was busier for cattle sales across the province, as none of the major outlets had to deal with poor weather. A snowstorm the previous week snowed in many outlets and ranchers were forced to dig out before transporting any cattle.

As a result, many yards were busier than normal this week, with over 13,000 head making their way through the rings.

For the most part, prices held steady with a bit of pressure coming down on heavierweight animals. Butcher cows and bulls were roughly $2 higher.

“Feeder cattle are the outlier because they’re quite a bit higher than a year ago,” said Herb Lock of Farm$ense Marketing.

That’s especially impressive, he said, given that feed barley is roughly $70 a tonne more this year than last.

More feeder cattle began to head south, too, as buyers from the U.S. showed a bit more interest in Canadian offerings. Cattle that were suitable for grass also traded strong.

Producers are hopeful demand will continue to be there in the months ahead, Lock said, as most of the Prairies prepare for a major swell of beef in the summer.

“The big bulge in numbers in placements in 2017-18 is setting the market up for a big supply in the second part of the year, and everyone knows that,” said Lock.

That’s making ranchers bearish on 900-lb. and 1,000-lb. animals that won’t be ready until summer, he said.

“The big bulge in numbers in placements in 2017-18 is setting the market up for a big supply in the second part of the year, and everyone knows that.” herb lock Farm$ense Marketing, Edmonton

In the near term, he said, there are some ideas packers may pay more in the next couple of weeks.

“So they’re overly optimistic on the light feeder cattle, mostly under 750 lbs. and down,” he said.

According to Lock, the cattle cycle is probably at a peak right now. Drought in the U.S. Plains has caused a lot of producers to direct cattle, which should have gone onto grass already, to feedlots instead.

As well, feedlots are generally seeing more heifers than a year ago, which means some producers don’t want to keep them for breeding.

“Drought changes the plan, so ranchers get desperate,” Lock said.

On top of that, corn and grain prices have been on the rise recently, adding to input costs.

“A steer takes almost two tonnes of feed to fatten, so if you multiply two tonnes by the $70-per-tonne increase over a year ago, you have to have 10 cents/lb. for the finished steer of a year ago to make the same amount of money.”

Hundreds flee Australian bushfires that kill cattle, destroy homes REUTERS

Australian authorities said Mar. 19 that cattle-killing bushfires continue to burn out of control in the southeast of the country.

No deaths or serious injuries were reported but the bushfires have caused extensive damage in rural areas of Victoria and New South Wales (NSW ), Australia’s two most populous states. More than 100 houses were damaged or destroyed, authorities said.

“At this stage (there have

been) no lives lost,” Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said at a news conference in the small NSW coastal town of Tathra.

“It is just a great credit to the firefighters, to the volunteers, the emergency workers — all of the community has pulled together and provided such great support,” he said.

The fires, believed to have been sparked by lightning, were fanned by dry, hot winds as temperatures reached 41 C. The fire set off an argument among Australia’s politicians on whether climate change was a contributing factor to the blazes.

“You can’t attribute any particular event, whether it’s a flood or fire or a drought... to climate

change. We are the land of droughts and flooding rains, we’re the land of bushfires,” Turnbull said.

NSW Rural Fire Service Deputy Commissioner Rob Rogers earlier told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation that five of 22 fires had not yet been contained.

“There’s still a lot of fire around the landscape,” he said, warning that it would still be several days before they were extinguished.

About 280 firefighters were battling the blazes, Emergency Management Commissioner Craig Lapsley said.

Bushfires are a common and deadly threat in Australia’s hot, dry summers, fuelled by highly flammable eucalyptus trees.

Canola draws strength from weaker Canadian currency Rain for U.S. Plains and Argentina drags on futures Phil Franz-Warkentin CNSC

I

CE Futures Canada canola contracts saw some choppy activity over the course of the week ended March 16, but trended higher overall with much of the relative strength coming from weakness in the Canadian dollar.

The currency fell by about 1.5 cents relative to its U.S. counterpart over the course of the week, which helped keep crush margins steady despite a $10 rise in the futures. The currency ended the week trading just above 76 U.S. cents, well below the 80-cent mark at which it was trading back in mid-February.

The weaker currency should also encourage export demand, although canola exports are starting to lag the year-ago pace with transportation issues across the Prairies leading to a backlog at the West Coast. Canada has exported 6.4 million tonnes of canola during the crop year to date, according to the latest Canadian Grain Commission data. That compares with 6.6 million tonnes at the same point the previous year.

Global trade uncertainty received a fair bit of play in the agricultural markets during the week, and should be something to watch going forward. U.S. President Donald Trump is a known wild card, with his recent

threats of tariffs on steel and aluminum raising concerns over China placing retaliatory tariffs on soybeans and corn. NAFTA negotiations are ongoing as well, and Canada is very much caught up in the reality show going on south of the border.

As far as the actual market fundamentals are concerned, the dire drought situation in Argentina is still not old news. Its soybean and corn production estimates continue †o be revised lower, opening the door for U.S. soybean and corn exports, keeping the futures well supported.

More recently, Argentina finally saw some moisture, but while its crop prospects are unlikely to improve, the rain should at least stabilize the crops and both soybean and corn futures were down sharply the morning of March 19.

Dryness in the U.S. Plains kept wheat futures somewhat supported during the week, although there was enough moisture in the forecast to see values drift lower. Improving production prospects out of Russia and Ukraine were also weighing on wheat.

Rain also hit the Plains over the weekend (March 17-18) and wheat futures were down sharply on March 19. Winter wheat is only just starting to come out of dormancy in the southern U.S. Plains, and there’s a long season ahead for wheat crops to be made and lost a few times over.

Prairie wheat bids rise as dollar falls MGEX, CBOT and K.C. wheat futures values are all down on the week

BY ASHLEY ROBINSON CNS Canada

H

ard red spring wheat bids i n We s t e r n C a n a d a t o o k strength from a weaker dollar, with bids rising in price for the week ended March 16.

Depending on the location, average Canada Wester n Red Spr ing (CWRS, 13.5 per cent protein) wheat prices rose across the Prairie provinces, according to price quotes from a cross-section of deliver y points compiled by PDQ (Price and Data Quotes). Average prices ranged from about $240 per tonne in southeastern Saskatchewan to as high as $277 in most parts of Alberta. Most prices rose by $2-$4 per tonne, while in northwestern Saskatchewan and northern and southern Alberta prices rose by $19-$26 per tonne.

Average (CWRS) prices ranged from about $240 per tonne in southeastern Saskatchewan to as high as $277 in most parts of Alberta.

Quoted basis levels varied from location to location and ranged from $11 to $48 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$183 to US$212 per tonne, which was up on a U.S. dol-

lar basis on the week. That would put the currency-adjusted basis levels at about US$17-$46 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 $23 to $60 below the futures.

Canada Prairie Spring Red (CPSR) wheat bids were down by $6 per tonne, with prices ranging from $195 to $212 per tonne.

Average durum prices were up $1-$3 per tonne, with bids across Western Canada ranging from $255 to $266 per tonne.

The May spring wheat contract in Minneapolis, off of which most CWRS contracts Canada are based, was quoted March 16 at US$6.1175 per bushel, down 5.75 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 March K.C. wheat contract was quoted at US$4.995 per bushel on March 16, down 21 U.S. cents compared to the previous week.

T h e M a rc h C h i c a g o B o a rd o f Trade soft wheat contract settled at US$4.6775 on March 16, down 21.5 U.S. cents on the week.

The Canadian dollar settled March 16 at 76.41 U.S cents, down by almost 1.5 U.S. cents on the week.

National Beef Quality Audit shows carcass defect cost on the rise

One of the biggest and growing issues for processors is a significant jump in liver defects Looking local

BY ALEXIS STOCKFORD Co-operator staff

C

anada’s beef processors are paying more to deal with carcass defects, even though body condition scores have improved.

Results from the 2016-17 National Beef Quality Audit show that the cost of carcass defects has risen steadily since the first national audit in 1994 and now tops well over $100 million.

The first national audit since 2010-11, results cover 75 per cent of Canadian cattle slaughter and included three visits to plants in fall and winter 2016 and spring 2017, according to Mark Klassen, director of technical services for the Canadian C a t t l e m e n’s A s s o c i a t i o n .

Klassen presented results during a Beef Cattle Research Council webinar in February.

Liver discounts cost industry the most out of any measured defect and also saw the largest jump in loss over 2011 levels.

Liver defects in 2016 accounted for almost $21 a head and $61.2 million in total, up from $9.36 a head in the last audit.

With the exception of fed cattle during the winter, there was a marked increase in livers with at least one active abscess and inflammation. Non-fed cattle showed increased liver defects across all three visits.

“An abscessed liver cannot be sold for human consumption and, depending on the severity of it, it can either be used for pet food or condemned,” Klassen said.

Of the livers followed by the audit, 68 per cent were fit for humans, while almost a quarter went to waste.

Fewer whole carcasses were condemned in 2016, tongue discounts dropped to near nothing and polled horns now account for over 90 per cent of both fed and non-fed cattle, but tag costs (manure and mud on the hide) hit about $30 million and injection site lesions are on the rise, although most of those lesions are minor.

“A very dirty animal coming in, so a lot of tag on that hide, means that it slows down your slaughter line and it gives you more chance for contamination and more trimming because of that,” Calvin Vaags, CEO of True North Foods near Carman, said.

“That can be a very significant thing and it’s kind of a seasonal thing too.”

Seasonal tag fluctuations will come as no surprise to anyone who has moved cattle during the cool, wet parts of the year.

Winter was the worst for dirty hides, the audit found.

“It’s not an insignificant cost we’re looking at, somewhere in the range of $10 per head,” Klassen said. “Ultimately, this is a challenge because weather, as we know, is beyond the control of the cattle producer.”

The percentage of non-fed cattle carcasses with tag over doubled to 57.3 per cent, but was still far below fed numbers (85 per cent, largely unchanged from 2010-11).

Klassen suggested better drainage in pens and research into new bedding material as possible solutions.

Bright spots Body condition was a more positive note, with fewer animals in the extreme ends of body condition score (BCS).

Grossly overweight fed cattle dropped, at least in spring 2017. Only 4.1 per cent of fed carcasses at that time rated a BCS score of five, the highest available.

“It’s probably fair to say that the average cow now in the herd is pretty much at what we would recommend between that 2.5 to three range, in the spring maybe a little outside of that, but pretty good all around,” Klassen said, but added, “The fed cattle continue, as they were in 2010-11, to be on the fatter side. The scores are over four in most cases.”

Between 45 and 87 per cent of fed carcasses rated a BCS score of four across plant visits.

Non-fed cattle were a good news story. About 15.4 per cent of carcasses in the fall and 0.9 per cent in the spring had a BCS of one, down from 19.4 per cent and 6.2 per cent in the last audit. On the other end of the spectrum, only 0.7 per cent of both fall and spring carcasses hit a BCS of five, down from four per cent and 4.3 per cent in 2010-11. Winter scores were unchanged.

Klassen noted that the number of very thin non-fed cattle has been in decline over the last three audits.

Major bruises, those needing a pound and a half of meat trimmed, were more than cut in half. Only 6.8 per cent of carcasses had a major bruise, down from 16.4 per cent in 2010-11.

Major bruises plummeted for both fed and non-fed cattle.

Bruising in general improved in non-fed cattle. In the previous audit, 87.5 per cent of carcasses had some level of bruising, a number now down to 63 per cent.

“The challenge that we have with this is that the producer will lose money due to reduced carcass weight from trimming of bruises, but they won’t necessarily know where those bruises were or, in some cases, even that they had bruises,” Klassen said.

CCA is attempting to track bruise locations on the carcass in the hope that producers can narrow down how the bruises

happened and avoid them in the future.

What’s in the cooler?

Heavy fed cattle have played into lower yield grade, something Klassen says is compounded since packers face volume shortages and are less likely to discount heavier animals.

Average carcass weight hit 864 pounds in the recent audit, over 50 pounds heavier than the audit before.

“A very core attribute of the Canadian beef advantage, namely, yield, is no longer what it once was,” Klassen said.

Only 37 per cent of carcasses made the top yield grade in 2016-17, down from 52 per cent in the previous audit.

Meanwhile, the lowest yield grade has seen a noticeable jump.

“Packers are indicating across the board that when these carcasses get to the (fabrication) floor, there is a significant loss of yield,” Klassen said. “Much of that loss is external fat which the consumer doesn’t see at retail because they’re trimmed to a specific specification, whatever it might be, but it does represent a loss to the sector.”

Those same factors may play into a quality jump even as yield decreases, he added.

The audit found prime quality and AAA beef accounted for 2.6 per cent and 64.1 per cent of the beef in 2016-17, up from 1.2 per cent and 52.5 per cent, respectively.

Ian Jensen of Killarney Meats says his finances are not generally impacted by tag and don’t see much loss with bruising or injection site lesions.

“Our meat inspector’s got a pretty sharp eye and very rarely does he notice a needle site,” he said.

His facility does occasionally deal with liver abscesses, although he agreed that body c o n d i t i o n i n g e n e ra l h a s improved.

“We deal with a lot of direct marketers here,” he said. “There’s a lot of farmers who do custom processing at our facility and then sell into the larger urban centres, say Brandon or Winnipeg. They are really going heads and above, trying to bring in a really good animal.”

Bruises and injection site lesions have, likewise, failed to make waves at True North Foods.

Vaags says they have few issues with bruises and injection site lesions, although liver problems are “endemic” in the region.

“A lot of it is liver fluke damage,” he said. “We have a pile of liver fluke damage.”

Par ts of Manitoba have become hotbeds for liver flukes, with the parasites causing hemorrhaging in the liver and, in acute cases, other organs.

Producers in southeastern Manitoba, in particular, have reported infestations for years.

Vaags did not mark any main trends in BCS or grade, noting only that his plant’s small size makes it difficult to mark trends in those areas.

“Compared to the big guys, we don’t have enough numbers going through,” he said. “We also kind of buy a lot of the outlier type of cattle, so if there’s a farmer out there who has heavy cattle, rather than send them somewhere else, you might send them here.”

What’s next?

The Canadian Cattlemen’s Association is looking for feedback on audit results. A survey is underway for producers, retailers, food-service representatives and packers to give their take on developing priorities.

Audit results will star in a string of 15 videos in the near future.

Verified Beef Production Plus will also have a role in spreading insights, Klassen said.

The CCA now hopes to benchmark Canadian results with other countries. astockford@farmmedia.com

Community pasture benefits worth over $13 million a year, study says From forages worth $5.67 million annually to $4.7 million in carbon sequestration services, the benefits from the province’s 350,000 acres of community pastures add up fast “Our study shows that these lands store more carbon in the soil, provide better habitat for prairie species, and clean our water all while providing grazing for livestock.”

BY LORRAINE STEVENSON Co-operator staff

A

ll Manitobans gain from this province’s community pastures, according to a new study that details the broad range of social and environmental benefits derived from them, and assigns a dollar value to them too.

Released last week by the Association of Manitoba Community Pastures (AMCP) the study pegs the value of ecosystem services derived from this province’s 20 community pastures at $13.35 million annually.

These 350,000 acres are comprised mostly of provincial Crown land and are among the largest and last remaining contiguous blocks of prairie grassland.

The report titled The Social and Environmental Benefits of AMCP Community Pastures and led by the International I n s t i t u t e f o r Su s t a i n a b l e Development (IISD) has quantified the direct monetary and non-monetary values of these landscapes, including their role in carbon sequestration, soil conservation and support for biodiversity.

It also points out the key role the AMCP plays to enhance these services through management practices such as prescribed burns and rotational grazing.

“Sustainable grazing methods championed by AMCP provide benefits to livestock producers and society at large,” said Geoff Gunn, a geographer at the IISD and the report’s author.

“Our study shows that these lands store more carbon in the soil, provide better habitat for prairie species, and clean our water all while providing grazing for livestock.”

Topping the lists of benefits coming off these pastures include the value of their forage supply to the livestock sector and carbon sequestration.

The forage supply alone from these sites is worth $5.67 million. Over 350 patrons graze a total of 40,000 head on these sites annually.

The study also shows AMCP pastures are worth $4.7 million a year for their role, as large undisturbed tracts of land, in carbon sequestration.

Another $825,000 in ecological services is derived from c o m m u n i t y p a s t u re s s u pport for healthy soils, as well as diverse plant and animal habitats, including habitat for numerous species at risk such as threatened birds and flora such as the small white lady’s slipper, and western silvery aster.

Additionally, they are worth another $1.2 million to all Manitobans for the recreation, heritage and research services they provide. Activities such as scientific studies, wildlife viewing and hunting were factored into that valuation. The cultural value of these tracts of land as sacred sites, and places for traditional food harvesting through hunting, trapping, and fishing was also accounted for.

Community pastures also provide an additional $860,000 yearly to rural economic development through job creation and local purchasing. Even limited activities such as gravel extraction and timber harvesting is conservatively estimated at over $90,000 annually, the study said.

The total value of ecological goods and services derived from retaining community pastures can actually range from anywhere from $10.57 million and $18.88 million yearly, the report noted.

“This report is the first to look specifically at AMCP community pastures, and the benefits they bring to society at large,” said Barry Ross, general manager of the AMCP. Barry Lowes, chair of the Association of Manitoba Community Pastures said it confirms what he’s always known as a livestock producer — that the community pastures are a valuable program integral to rural communities and they improve the environment through managed livestock grazing.

“AMCP community pastures support the livestock industry and rural economies, and are well used by the public – the benefits of this program for Manitoba are numerous,” he said.

The study will be an important reference document as the province moves forward

to achieve new conservation and climate change mitigation goals.

The Manitoba government recognizes these values and has supported the AMCP to keep these pastures operating sustainably, said Ross.

“Now that dollar values are associated with the community pasture program, this report will serve as a tool to help attract new funding sources and develop new projects, such as carbon storage on grasslands, that support provincial climate change objectives.”

AMCP range technician Ra c h e l W h i d d e n s a i d t h e study’s findings importantly will help to communicate to the broader public how important these landcapes are. The report itself noted there isn’t an understanding within the public of the role or benefits of the community pasture program. “ The publication of this report is our first step towards increasing awareness among Manitobans,” said Whidden.

“It’s a clear demonstration of the importance of some of the largest intact blocs of native prairie remaining in Manitoba.

These have become very rare and we’d like to highlight the larger benefits that they serve in Manitoba.”

There are relatively few large remaining tracts of prairie grassland found anywhere in the country, with conservation groups estimating more than 70 per cent of all prairie grasslands in Canada have

been converted to other uses and what’s left now vulnerable to further encroachment and human impact.

Funding for this study was provided by the federal and provincial governments through Growing Forward 2. It was developed in conjunction with an expert steering committee comprised of Manitoba Agriculture representation and an independent forage expert.

T h e I I S D a n d re s e a rc h ers with the University of Saskatchewan employed a process called total economic valuation ( TEV ) which includes both direct monetary and nonmonetary values to derive its numbers.

The AMCP was incorporated in 2014 and initially organized by concerned pasture patrons in the province after the federal government announced it would discontinue operating community pastures (formerly through the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration).

The AMCP is now operating 20 community pastures in Manitoba and along the Saskatchewan border including at Alonsa, Bield, Birch River, Cote-San Clara, Ellice-Archie, Ethelbert (Dauphin and Duck Mountain), Gardenton, Pansy, Langford, Lenswood, Libau, McCreary, Mulvihill, Narcisse, Pasquia, Spy Hill-Ellice, SylvanDale, Turtle Mountain, and Wallace. lorraine@fbcpublishing.com

Don’t horse around with dental health Modern equine life is causing an explosion in dental issues Carol Shwetz

DVM

Horse Health

T

he horse’s tooth, like the tooth of any other species, is subject to decay.

It is only recently that the nature of the tooth decay and its implications to the health of the horse have been recognized and identified.

The reasons for this are twofold. The abilities of the equine dental provider to recognize and identify the tooth decay has advanced and in addition there is likely an increasing incidence of dental caries in horses related to the modern equine’s diet and lifestyle.

The cause of dental caries in horses is likely multifactorial. Processed feedstuffs and reduced long-stem forage intake contribute to changes i n t h e p H o f t h e h o r s e’s mouth, and interrupts the full expression of the elliptical chewing pattern of the horse.

Pro p e r h e a l t h y d e ve l o p ment of the young horse’s tooth is highly dependent upon a high-fibre diet. The high-fibre diet initiates chewing forces which shape the adult tooth to be resilient and strong. It triggers key physiological occurrences in the dental arcade such as proper shedding of the baby teeth and/or caps, eruption of the molars and development of the continuously er upting teeth in the dental arcade.

Tooth decay – known as dental caries to veterinarians – is a condition where dental surfaces in the horse’s mouth have been eroded away.

Caries is a disease process which leads to tooth decay.

Tooth decay is the breakdown of the structure of the tooth and when the decay becomes visible it is termed a cavity.

As the decay progresses, the str uctural integr ity of the tooth is compromised, leaving it vulnerable to fracture, exposure of sensitive nerve endings and pulp cavities and root infection.

T h e re a re t y p i c a l l y t w o types of tooth decay or caries seen in horses – infundibular caries and peripheral caries.

The infundibulum is an anatomical structure that is unique to the equine tooth.

It is an invagination of the enamel folds on the grinding surface of the horse’s tooth and is thought to substantially increase the surface area for grinding and enhance the durability of the tooth.

Equine infundibular caries is a unique nuance of the horse.

Decay in the infundibulum of the upper cheek teeth happens if defects occur within the invaginated infundibula and allow food material and bacteria to accumulate in the centre of the tooth.

Fermentation and acid production leads to decalcification and weakening of the surrounding dental tissue.

Once the process of decay has begun, it continues to pro-

There are typically two types of tooth decay or caries seen in horses – infundibular caries and peripheral caries.

gressively worsen and may escalate to the point where the tooth is weakened and fractures.

The fractured tooth is then susceptible to bacterial entry of the root, infection and abscessation. Only the upper cheek teeth can contract infundibular caries as they are the only cheek teeth with the particular infundibular structure. The infundibulum of the upper cheek teeth, actually two per tooth, is subject to food and bacteria getting stuck in these invaginated areas thus placing them at a higher risk for decay. The lower cheek teeth do not have an infundibulum. The incisor teeth do have a singular infundibulum, however, caries are extremely rare in the incisors.

The second type of caries which is much less common is that which forms along the gum line of the tooth. These type of caries is often indicative of other functional and structural problems in the mouth.

Clinical symptoms of dental caries in the horse may not always appear and when they do appear their presentation can vary due to the position of the tooth involved and the severity of the caries process.

Some horses do not exhibit any clinical signs of discomfort, while others will show symptoms of pain in the mouth such as hypersaliva t i o n , d i f f i c u l t y c h e w i n g feed, sensitivity or aversion to drinking cold water, loss of appetite, and may show a change in behaviour. If the problem is severe enough there may be a foul odour from the mouth or discharge from the nostril if the sinuses have become involved.

A thorough oral examination with a full mouth speculum, bright headlight, dental mirror and fine dental probe are necessary for the diagnosis of infundibular decay.

Visual examination will often reveal abnormal food packing into the centre of the occlusal surface of the tooth.

The tooth is probed to assess the severity of the decay and degree of tooth involvement.

It is important to assess the involvement of the decay, which may include radiographs, as that assessment determines the direction for further treatment.

Proper equilibration of the dental arcade will be of primary importance in the followup dental work as it will spare the weakened tooth from unnecessary forces.

Unfortunately dental caries weaken the horse’s tooth leaving it susceptible to fracture and infection. PHOTO: CAROL SHWETZ

Restoration of infundibular caries in horses is in its infancy in comparison to restoration of cavities in human dentistry. Although principles and applications from human dentistry may have some similarities, repair of the dental caries in the horse is a complicated process due to the structure of the tooth and the nature of the pathology.

Infundibular caries is often positioned within the cen-

tral plug of the tooth intimately positioned next to dental pulps and nerves. The nature of the work, the compatibility of the filling composites and the mastication forces of the horse are just a few challenges to the procedure. Currently there are only a handful of competent practitioners in North America providing this service. If the caries are fairly advanced, extraction of a tooth may be

t h e o n l y s e n s i b l e re m e d y.

This is typically seen in older horses.

Ideally early recognition of the disease process and restoration preserves the integrity of the tooth. Therefore the possibility exists to alleviate the inevitable suffering these diseased teeth cause to the horse with time.

Weather Vane

T

he general placements of the main weather features were handled well by the weather models during the last forecast period, but as usual, the devil was in the details. A persistent flow of dry air from the departing high last week allowed overnight temperatures to become fairly cool.

This, combined with the fresh snowpack, helped to keep daytime highs a little cooler than expected.

The slow spring melt looks like it will continue during this forecast period as our predominant sunny skies of late turn mostly cloudy. This is due to a large trough of low pressure that is forecast to move in off the Pacific on Thursday and Friday. The trough will begin to pull up some milder air ahead of it, but we will also see partly to mostly cloudy skies. The result will be daytime highs around +3 C with overnight lows around the -10 C mark.

This issue’s map shows the current long-range temperature forecast for April and June according to the CFS weather model.

April is expected to be cooler than average for much of Alberta and Saskatchewan, with near-average temperatures over Manitoba.

June’s forecast is for warmth right across the Prairies, with the warmest weather expected over Manitoba.

This trough will spin up several areas of low pressure, with the first forecast to move across the U.S. Midwest on Friday and the second low forecasted to track across the central Prairies on Saturday and Sunday. For southern and central regions of Manitoba it currently looks like we will miss out on most

of the precipitation from these two systems. We will likely see some flurries or showers on Saturday and Sunday, with the best chances of any significant amounts staying to our south and north.

A third area of low pressure is then forecast to take shape over Colorado on Monday and

Tuesday of next week. Current indications are that this low should stay to our south, but as usual, we always need to keep an eye on these systems, especially at this time of the year.

Temperatures look to stay seasonable, with daytime highs in the +2 to +5 C range and overnight lows around -10 C.

Usual temperature range for this period: Highs: -7 to +6 C; lows, -19 to -7 C. Daniel Bezte is a teacher by profession with a BA (Hon.) in geography, specializing in climatology, from the U of W.

What does spring have in store for us?

If a long-range outlook covers a huge area, some place is likely to get that weather

BY DANIEL BEZTE Co-operator contributor

B

y an over whelming amount, the No. 1 question I have had over the last couple of weeks is: What will the spring be like? While I usually wait until the end of the month to do the lookahead forecast, I will use this article to go through each of the medium- and longrange forecasters to see what they are predicting. As usual, I will throw in my two cents, b u t re m e m b e r, i f a n y o n e could accurately predict the weather one to three months in advance, they would be rich. Just think about it: If you knew with certainty what the weather would be like for April, May and June, just what kind of an impact would that have on agriculture?

So, why do we try to create these types of forecasts? First, if you don’t try then you will never be able to do it. Second, they’re what I call the fun factor, or maybe a better word is “competition.” Just who will be able to get bragging rights that they had the best forecasts?

This is often what ultimately drives innovation.

I will begin the spring forecasts with what some people will argue is the most reli-

Precipitation is always difficult, as it only takes one or two severe weather events to go from drought to excessive wetness.

able forecast, but I will argue is one of the least reliable: the almanacs. The biggest issue I have with the almanacs is that they create a single forecast that covers southern and central Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. With such a large area to cover, a general forecast will undoubtedly miss some major details. On the positive side, at least from the almanacs’ point of view, some place will likely have the weather they forecasted! Looking first at the Old Farmer’s Almanac, it calls for slightly colder-thanaverage temperatures in April along with well-above-average amounts of precipitation.

Temperatures in May and June are forecast to be near average, with slightly below average amounts of precipitation in May and slightly above-average amounts in June. Looking at the Canadian Farmers’ Almanac, which is even more difficult to interpret than the Old Farmer’s Almanac, it appears to call for near- to slightly above-aver-

age temperatures in April with near- to slightly below-average amounts of precipitation, as it mentions fair and pleasant weather several times.

May looks as if it will be cool and wet as it mentions severe thunderstorms, unsettled, and stormy weather several times.

Finally, in June, it seems as if it will be warmer than average, especially in the second half of the month, as it mentions hot weather several times.

Precipitation looks to be near average for the month.

Now on to the main U.S. forecaster, the NOAA (National Oceanic and At mospher ic Administration). Unfortunately, its forecast maps and discussions stop right at the U.S. border, but you can look at the maps and extrapolate the data northward, at least into the southern part of the Prairies.

According to its just-released spring forecast, it calls for near-average temperatures this spring across Manitoba, with slightly below-average tem-

peratures in Saskatchewan and below-average temperatures in Alberta. Its precipitation forecast is the opposite, with near-average amounts forecast for Alberta, slightly above average in Saskatchewan and above average across southern Manitoba.

The next model is the CFS, or the Climate Forecast System or Coupled Forecast System, and it is a medium- to longrange numerical weather prediction and a climate model run by the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP). It creates a six-week medium-range forecast along with a month-by-month sixmonth forecast. Its six-week forecast shows near-average temperatures across the eastern Prairies with predominantly below-average temperatures across western regions. Its precipitation forecast for April calls for near- to slightly aboveaverage amounts. Moving on to May, its longer-range forecast calls for well-above average temperatures across the eastern Prairies transitioning to near-average temperatures as you move west into Alberta.

Southern regions are forecast to see above-average amounts of precipitation in May, with nearaverage amounts over central and northern regions. In June, its forecast calls for above-

average temperatures across all three Prairie provinces with the warmest temperatures forecast to be across eastern regions.

Along with the warm temperatures, it predicts above-average precipitation across much of Saskatchewan and Alberta with near-average amounts in Manitoba.

Environment Canada calls for above-average temperatures across all three Prairie provinces from April through to June along with near- to slightly below-average amounts of precipitation.

Lastly, my interpretation of the different long-range forecasts favours the CFS model, as this model has been doing a fairly decent job over the last month or so. I think we will see near average temperatures in April across eastern regions with slightly below-average temperatures over western regions. This temperature pattern will remain in place right through to June, with a general warming toward above-average temperatures across all three provinces by the end of June.

Precipitation is always difficult, as it only takes one or two severe weather events to go from drought to excessive wetness. If I had to gamble, I would go with a wetter-than-average April transitioning to belowaverage precipitation by June.

CanoLAB adds soybeans to the agenda The two-day event hoped to get a better idea on managing canola and soybeans for growers who increasingly want to grow both

BY ALEXIS STOCKFORD Co-operator staff

Good response Laura Schmidt, MPSG extension co-ordinator, said her group was approached by the Canola Council of Canada about adding soybeans to the event.

Ray Dowbenko discusses canola fertility and how nutrients can be managed over time during a CanoLAB session in Dauphin March 15.

“ E v e r y o n e’s b e e n r e a l l y engaged, which has been awesome to see,” Schmidt said. “( We’re) getting a lot of farmer questions, getting a lot of agronomist questions and I think they really enjoy having both crops incorporated because it’s really opened up what they can all learn at one event.”

Soybeans have been on a steady and exponential rise in the province over the last decade, including areas once solidly considered “canola country,” although the crop may look less attractive after a dry season led to some disappointing yields last year.

About 2.3 million acres of soybeans went into the ground in 2017 compared to 3.16 million acres of canola. Additionally, many of those acres are outside of the Red River Valley and its longer See CanoLAB on page 18 »

rowers were looking for more than just canola knowledge from CanoLAB this year. Soybeans also stole the show.

Put on annually by canola commodity groups, CanoLAB is usually a major stop for everything from canola fertilization and weed control to disease pressures and beneficial insects. This was the first year, however, that the Manitoba Pulse and Soybean Growers joined the two-day event in Brandon and Dauphin March 14-15.

“It was really important for us to partner up with the Manitoba Pulse and Soybean Growers (MPSG) to get some soybean stations here, because we recognize that there are a growing number of acres, but in addition to that, that more growers are growing both crops, so how to manage that rotation,” Roberta Galbraith, member relations manager with the Manitoba Canola Growers Association, said.

“We see it as a win-win, because we want to get producers looking at a longer rotation between their canola production, but it’s got to be another profitable crop for them to do that. We’re hoping that soybeans are going to be a profitable option for them moving forward. Certainly for lots of people it is already, but some of the new regions are struggling with the agronomy piece of that.”

The newly minted SoyL AB ran alongside canola sessions.

Sclerotinia management in canola returned, counterbalanced by phytophthora root rot in soybean sessions. Weed management, insect factors, soybean inoculation and nodulation and plant establishment for both crops also featured.

CanoLAB and SoyLAB attendees get a crash course in weed identification in Dauphin March 15.

growing seasons, spreading west and north as growers are enticed by wider profit margins and new short-season varieties.

The pulse’s growing popularity has led both farmers and agronomists to ponder production practices as the field dynamic shifts.

“From what I’ve seen, there’s definitely some conversations sparked,” Schmidt said.

“There’s obviously a lot of things that apply to both crops and that we consider when we incorporate both crops into a rotation so it’s kind of cool that they’re starting to see more of that ‘whole picture’ approach.”

Galbraith noted that CanoLAB and SoyLAB speakers were coached on how to integrate the other crop into their talks.

Big picture Ray Dowbenko, senior agronomy specialist with Nutrien, was one of those speakers. Invited to speak on canola fertility, Dowbenko’s talk branched into how nutrition c o u l d b e m a n a g e d a c ro s s years.

“We see it as a win-win, because we want to get producers looking at a longer rotation between their canola production, but it’s got to be another profitable crop for them to do that.”

In particular, he said, phosphorus could be built up during a cereal year in a three-year rotation between cereals, soybeans and canola.

Cereals are the most tolerant of phosphorus between those three crops, he said, while too much phosphorus risks stunting both canola and soybeans, particularly if the nutrient is placed too close to the seed.

John Heard, provincial nutrition specialist, likes that idea.

“Two of those crops have challenges with putting on enough phosphorus with

them in order to match the removal amounts, and that’s with canola and soybeans,” he said. “You can’t put all that phosphorus, generally, with the seed, so we need to find another way to do that. Many farmers have side-row banded or maybe mid-row banded, so they’ve got flexibility to do that, but those who are limited to seed placement, they need to find a different way and one of those ways, within that rotation, is simply to bank more in the wheat year.

“It takes some discipline

to do that,” he added. “The banker may say, ‘Why are you spending so much money on wheat?’ You have to remind yourself, I’m not just feeding the wheat crop here, I’m also feeding my following soybean or canola crop.”

That matches with Heard’s comments during a round of soil nutrition updates earlier this year. Heard pointed to data out of the International Plant Nutrition Institute showing an upwards yield trend when phosphorus was applied with wheat seed. In contrast,

canola and pea yields peaked at 20 pounds per acre when placed with the seed, followed by a sharp turndown.

Not enough Those rates will not match removal, Dowbenko warned, echoing Heard. Canola needs 60-75 pounds an acre of P2O5, he said, 50-60 pounds of which will be tied up in the grain.

Soybean and wheat need to sit at 32-35 pounds an acre (2932 pounds of which leave with the harvest) and 44-53 pounds an acre (32-39 pounds to the grain), respectively.

Heard says Manitoba fields typically need around 40 pounds of phosphorus per acre per year to balance removal.

Heard pointed out that soybeans are also sensitive to lowpotassium soils, something that is a problem in some areas of Manitoba.

“That may be something that farmers need to keep their eye on in the soil test and be prepared to address that as a yield-limiting factor,” he said.

Like phosphorus, Heard has pointed out that potassium is less prone to move in the soil and can be banked year to year.

Nitrogen, however, is more mobile in the soil and hard to extend past a given crop year.

“You fertilize by the crop with nitrogen,” he said. “But some of the other nutrients do lend themself to a systems approach or a rotational fertilization.”

Heard stressed that nutrient plans will vary from farm to farm dsepending on soil tests, equipment and rotations.

Future integration CanoLAB is one, but not the only, traditionally canola-based event to broaden its focus this year. Last year, Canolapalooza highlighted technology, new research and other canola production knowledge at Portage la Prairie.

This year, a similar event will extend to corn, soybeans, oats, sunflowers, flax, wheat and barley. The newly dubbed Crops-apalooza will be held July 25 at AAFC Portage la Prairie. astockford@farmmedia.com

CORN AS CASH: Brazil’s bartering farmers raise risks for Canada’s Nutrien Lack of credit makes for an interesting and unfamiliar business environment in this Latin American powerhouse

BY ROD NICKEL AND ANA MANO Reuters

T

aking a page from its aggressive growth strategy in the United States, cash-rich Canadian fertilizer giant Nutrien plans to plow investment into Brazil in a bid to reap up to 30 per cent of farm supply sales in fertile pockets of the country.

But business in Brazil’s farm sector — the world’s fastest growing — strays far from the usual practices in North America’s Farm Belt, where Nutrien is a top supplier of fertilizer, chemicals and seed.

It’s a place where the ancient economy of bartering — in this case swapping crops for fertilizer — is still common, helping Brazilian farmers mitigate their high reliance on credit.

Selling directly to farmers in the way Nutrien plans is a risk that rivals Mosaic and Yara International are avoiding, senior executives from both companies told Reuters.

For Nutrien, going big in retail sales of seed, chemicals and fertilizer to Brazilian farmers is a way to manage another risk — volatility in wholesale fertilizer prices. Retail stores in the United States are a boon during times of high supply and low prices — as now — because they give the biggest global fertilizer producer by c a p a c i t y a s s u r a n c e o f base demand in a major farm market.

Brazilian barters typically involve farmers, grain handlers such as Cargill and fertilizer sellers in three-way arrangements that see farmers commit a portion of their future harvest to the grain handler in exchange for fertilizer from the manufacturer.

Such deals are unnecessary in Canada and the United States, where chartered banks and government lenders provide ample credit to tide farmers over to autumn, when they can start selling their output.

Brazilian farmers lack such willing lenders, so they rely on monetizing crops that have not even been planted.

“Farmers use their soybeans like their money; use their corn like it’s cash,” said Rick McLellan, senior vice-president of Brazil for Mosaic, which does some barter deals involving its fertilizer deliveries.

Nutrien, formed in January by a merger of PotashCorp of Saskatchewan and Agrium, disclosed the same month that it intends to become a major farm supplier in Brazil, stretching its reach beyond North America, Australia and Argentina.

Chief executive Chuck Magro revealed to Reuters that the company is looking to roll up as much as 30 per cent of farm retail sales in pockets of central and southern Brazil — a level that it calculates may not raise antitrust concerns. The growth plan hinges mainly on buying existing retail dealers.

Getting there may take many years, with price tags to buy retail dealers currently high, Magro said, declining to place a timeline on his plans.

“What we’re doing today is going to be a program that will last many, many years,” he said. “The vision is to have a North AmericanSouth American integrated company.

If we can get there, that’s a pretty powerful global complex.”

“ What we’re doing today is going to be a program that will last many, many years,” he said. “The vision is to have a No r t h A m e r i c a n - S o u t h American integrated company. If we can get there, that’s a pretty powerful global complex.”

To build up its Brazil business, Nutrien is willing to barter by accepting grain as collateral against credit, similar to how it operates in Argentina, Magro said.

Julio Zavala, general manager at Brazilian fertilizer blender Utilfértil Indústria de Fertilizantes, which Nutrien owns, said the company is still devising its strategy for building retail. Utilfertil has already done some bartering with farmers through grain traders Cargill and Bunge, he said.

The Brazil venture could give Nutrien a grasp of the world’s fastest-growing major agriculture market, or cause an expensive slip-up just as it woos investors back to an oversupplied global crop nutrient sector.

smaller growers by utilizing other retail sellers, Vargas said.

While Brazil is a farm powerhouse, it still imported some 26.3 million tonnes of fertilizer last year, according to fertilizer association ANDA, which amounts to three-quarters of the nutrients that farmers used.

According to a major farmer group, new entrants are wel-

come because they potentially increase competition among input sellers, reducing prices.

“The more players, the better,” said Antônio Galvan, president of the Mato Grosso soy growers’ association Aprosoja.

Commonly, Brazilian farmers band together in large groups and buy directly from fertilizer producers in a bid to cut fertilizer costs.

Others, like Cayron Giacomelli, barter crops for fertilizer through grain traders including China’s state-owned COFCO and Amaggi.

A potential acquisition target, fertilizer distributor and farmer co-operative Fecoagro, is intrigued by Nutrien’s plan.

“We are open to anything,” said executive director Ivan Ramos.

Guaranteed Protection.

Guaranteed Peace of Mind.

At MASC, we can’t guarantee the weather, but we can guarantee that AgriInsurance will protect your operation from the impact natural perils can have on your crop production.

Risky business Rival Mosaic sees too much risk in Nutrien’s strategy to follow along.

U.S.-based Mosaic sells bulk fertilizer to Brazilian farms large enough to own storage facilities, but has no interest in creating a retail network, said chief executive Joc O’Rourke.

Brazil’s retail system is “hugely fragmented,” made up of many tiny players, he said.

“A lot of these are almost back-of-the-shed-type retail operations and we don’t want to get into the greater risk that goes with that,” O’Rourke said in an interview.

Some 100 retail dealers in Brazil sell to farmers, and none owns more than five per cent market share, according to Bank of Montreal.

Yara sees different risk in any attempt to be a one-stop supplier: moving too far beyond its core expertise of fertilizer and into seeds and chemicals.

“That’s a totally different business,” said Cleiton Vargas, Yara’s senior vice-president of crop nutrition in Brazil.

Yara sells about half of the fertilizer it produces in Brazil in direct deliveries to mostly large, successful farmers and shares the risk of selling to

Jared Munro new Manitoba Agricultural Services Corporation CEO The 10-year veteran of the corporation knows first hand a lot about its workings

BY ALLAN DAWSON Co-operator staff

J

ared Munro, the Manitoba Agricultural Services Corporation’s (MASC) new chief executive officer, has worked for the Crown agency since 2008 and has been acting CEO since Neil Hamilton retired from the job last June.

“I’ve had an interesting career here so far,” Munro said in an interview March 15. “I’ve been involved in lots of different aspects of what we do so I think that’s prepared me well for this role and to have a good idea of what happens in each of the areas.”

MASC administers AgriInsurance, a program funded by the federal and provincial governments and farmers, as well as farm lending programs formerly administered by the Manitoba Agricultural Credit Corporation.

“I am pleased to announce the appointment of Jared Munro, building on his years of experience in the agricultural sector and with MASC,” Manitoba Agriculture Minister Ralph Eichler said in a news release. “MASC is an essential partner for many Manitoba farmers and his exper-

sure,” he said. “Definitely not all agricultural.”

In 2014 Munro was named manager of program development, which involved both lending and crop insurance. That’s when Munro started working with various farm associations to ensure MASC programs met farmers’ needs, he said.

In February 2016 Munro was named vice-president of research and program development after Paul Bonnett retired from the position.

Although he has been acting CEO for almost 10 months, Mu n r o s a i d n ow h e c a n “move ahead with a little more determination.”

“One of the things I am really excited about is our digital business transformation strategy that we’re working on, which will result in a lot better online experience for our clients and I think make it a lot easier for them to do busi-

tise will be invaluable in supporting that work.”

Munro, who is still involved in a six-generation farm near Portage la Prairie, where MASC is headquartered, knows MASC well having worked at several different positions there the last 10 years starting as an agronomist in the claim services area.

“I was ensuring adjusters had the proper training to do their jobs and making sure that their manuals and procedures were up to date,” Munro said. “I also worked closely with the processing staff here in the Portage office.

It gave me a good grasp on claim calculation and those sorts of programs.”

In 2011 MASC was tapped to administer a flood recovery office, which Munro managed. The office provided assistance for not just farmers, but home and cottage owners and flood evacuees.

“It was quite an experience for

ness with us,” Munro said. “We’re looking forward to rolling out some of those features over the next year.”

MASC staff are constantly looking to improve service and programs, but changes must be coordinated through the federal and provincial governments.

MASC is also overseen by a board of directors appointed by the Manitoba government and that reports to the minister of agriculture.

“We’re always proud to say (at MASC) that we insure the highest percentage of annual crop acres across the country,” Munro said.

“We are among the most efficient deliverers of AgriInsurance as well. But certainly we want to keep those things as well so we work hard to make sure we’re developing products that our producers need.” allan@fbcpublishing.com

he Indian government has raised its import tariff for chickpeas for a second time, this time from 40 per cent to 60 per cent.

The government said March 1 in the Gazette of India its tariff is to be imposed immediately, due to circumstances which make it necessary to take immediate action.

Reuters reported Feb. 28 that India’s cabinet had approved doubling state purchases of oilseeds and pulses from farmers, in a bid to boost local output and prevent distressed sales.

India originally placed a 30 per cent tariff on imports of chickpeas and lentils on Dec. 21, which had followed a 50 per cent tariff on pea imports on Nov. 8 — the maximum allowed under World Trade Organization rules.

The chickpea duty had been raised to 40 per cent on Feb. 7.

The tariffs were placed in order to support Indian farmers, who faced lower commodity prices following large world crops of pulses.

The Indian government has previously said it wants to reach self-sufficiency for pulses, though many analysts have said that isn’t possible, as India relies on variable monsoon rains for its growing season.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recently visited India and reached an agreement with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on fumigation issues which Canadian pulses had faced upon on import into the country.

The joint statement announcing the agreement didn’t mention import tariffs.

Last year Canada exported 10,000 tonnes of chickpeas to India, according to Statistics Canada.

Agriculture manufacturers on edge over trade The nearly $2-billion-a-year industry lives and dies on trade and uncertainty is making it nervous “There’s just so much trade that flows between Canada and the U.S. that to put up barriers at this point, I don’t understand how that can be positive for both sides.”

BY ASHLEY ROBINSON CNS Canada

W

ith Canada in the midst of numerous free trade agreement negotiations, the Canadian agricultural manufacturing industry is feeling on edge.

While the future of some trade deals for Canada is bright, others aren’t looking so good.

“The lack of clarity around NAFTA is the big issue at the moment. It’s got a lot of people, I would say, on pause in terms of investment decisions,” said Nigel Jones, CEO of Seed Hawk and director with the Agricultural Manufacturers of Canada (AMC).

In 2017, Canadian manufacturing of agricultural implements accounted for $1,988 million in exports, according to Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada. The top three countries Canada exported to were the United States, Australia and Russia.

W h i l e m o s t a g r i c u l t u ra l equipment is exported tariff free, trade deals still affect the industry. The larger market access farmers have can translate into them spending more money on equipment purchases.

The latest trade deals have kept AMC busy. AMC president Leah Olson was on hand at the signing of the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) in Santiago, Chile on March 8. While there, it was announced Canada would be starting negotiations for the Canada-Mercosur Free Trade Agreement.

“Overall (CPTPP) clearly demonstrates an open trade agreement and some desire to work together. Which in particular with the steel and aluminum tariff that the U.S. administration has announced, they’ve given us some exemptions but that protectionism is very concerning,” Olson said.

At the start of March, U.S. P r e s i d e n t D o n a l d Tr u m p announced he would be placing tariffs on steel and aluminum imports. Canada and Mexico later received temporary exemptions depending on how North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) negotiations go. The steel tariffs are concerning as any price fluctuations for steel will directly impact manufacturers. “(The tariffs) could have an effect on supply; the supply/ demand ratio, that comes into play. If supply tightens up then it could be a big impact,” Jones said.

Seed Hawk manufactures air seeders and drills in Langbank, Sask. Steel is used in a lot of Seed Hawk’s equipment and Jones is concerned steel prices could rise which would affect both Canadian and U.S. manufacturers.

Olson has heard from AMC’s U.S. counterparts that they aren’t impressed with the steel and aluminum tariffs or possibility NAFTA could be scrapped.

“There’s just so much trade that flows between Canada and the U.S. that to put up barriers at this point, I don’t understand how that can be positive for both sides,” she said.

The Association of Equipment Manufacturers, which AMC works with, spoke out in concern, offering to work with the U.S. administration after the steel and aluminum tariff announcement. AMC’s direct U.S. coun-

terpart, the Farm Equipment Manufacturers Association, has also voiced concern.

Olson also feels U.S. farmers could be impacted and possibly lose access to Canadianmanufactured agr icultural equipment.

“I think that there’s enough innovation, particularly on the Canadian side when it comes to farm equipment that U.S. farmers will want to see Canadian farm implements continue to be available to them,” she said.

While NAFTA and the steel tariffs have AMC and its members concerned, the Mercosur trade deal could help the industry.

Argentina and Brazil, that have large agriculture industries, are members of the potential deal; in the past it has been difficult for Canadian equipment manufacturers to get into that market.

“What holds farm equipment manufacturers back from going into a market will be the distribution or the dealership network. And when you get into countries with different languages, the legal realm, you just have to be careful with how you’re getting into that,” Olson said.

The Mercosur deal could help Canadian agricultural manufacturers expand into the Latin American market. Canada currently exports agricultural equipment into more than 150 countries.

Shippers squabble over grain

It was a unified message that resulted in shipper-friendly legislation now under consideration.

Now that unity appears threatened

BY ALEX BINKLEY Co-operator contributor

I

nfighting is at risk of derailing a grand coalition of shippers that resulted in a shipperfriendly transportation modernization bill known as C-49.

While seven industry associations have stuck to script and asked Transport Minister Marc Garneau to make two key amendments to the government’s transportation modernization bill, those proposals were overshadowed by shots at the grain industry for demanding special treatment in unsnarling the western rail system.

The groups want the bill changed to require the railways to provide the appropriate cost and pricing information to the Canadian Transportation Agency to use in freight rate dispute resolutions and to enable the CTA to launch investigations into rail service delays

“A singular emphasis on grain has the unintended but inevitable consequence of exacerbating rail service issues for other commodity sectors, skewing the railways’ allocation of scarce capacity resources towards the movement of grain.” shipper joint letter

without waiting for a formal complaint.

In addition to an agreedupon letter to the minister, the groups have also asked the Senate transport committee, which is currently studying the bill, to consider their proposed changes.

However, the final version of the shipper joint letter, distributed by the Mining Association of Canada, added calls for the government not to intervene to speed up grain shipments

because that would only cause headaches for other shippers.

“A singular emphasis on grain has the unintended but inevitable consequence of exacerbating rail service issues for other commodity sectors, skewing the railways’ allocation of scarce capacity resources towards the movement of grain,” said the letter.

Greg Cherewyk, chief operating officer of Pulse Canada, said the action came as a surprise.

“The original letter that was approved for Pulse Canada to sign

on to, did not contain the language that was in the letter that was released,” Cherewyk said. “It’s imperative that we focus on the message of critical importance and that is the pressing need to amend the bill.”

The current law, which the legislation doesn’t change, “only provides government with the power to intervene when there has been an extraordinary disruption to the transportation system,” he said.

The CTA needs to be able to act “at an early state to use the data and information at its disposal to identify problems with the transportation system, to launch an investigation and if necessary, impose general orders aimed at restoring service long before any sector being served by the railways is in crisis mode.”

“The regulator, in this case the agency, needs to be given the authority and the mandate to do its job,” he said. “The onus need not and should not be only on commercial relationships to

address problems of national economic importance.”

The U.S. Surface Transport Board has the power to launch investigations of transport service problems without waiting for a formal complaint.

Bob Ballantyne, president of the Freight Management Association of Canada, said he would have been happier if the mining association “had downplayed the comments on grain.” The original letter to the Senate committee was not negative on grain.

As well, the amendments to give the CTA more authority to act “were made to the government when the bill was first introduced, to the Commons committee and to the Senate committee,” he said.

The original letter, also agreed to by Fertilizer Canada, the Canadian Chemical Industry A s s o c i a t i o n , t h e We s t e r n Canadian Shippers Coalition, and the Forest Products Association of Canada, said, “As you know, serious rail capacity issues have plagued rail shippers across multiple commodity sectors since the third quarter of 2017.”

The situation demonstrates “the need for a permanent regulatory mechanism capable of addressing these broader types of issues. Political intervention can only come after the effects of capacity shortfalls have escalated to a crisis level.

“In situations short of extraordinary disruptions to the transportation system, it is restricted to moral suasion without any means to enforce accountability. It will always focus on those aspects of the problem that have garnered public attention, in this case the immediate issue of improving service for grain shipments, even though the problem is much wider in scope and, in many instances, no less serious or acute for shippers of other commodities. A singular emphasis on grain has the unintended but inevitable consequence of exacerbating rail service issues for other commodity sectors, skewing the railways’ allocation of scarce capacity resources towards the movement of grain.

“All of this highlights the lack of a workable mechanism in the act that could facilitate a more proactive and more predictable response to rail capacity issues affecting broad sectors of the Canadian economy and that cannot be properly addressed through complaints or arbitrations initiated by individual shippers.”

The current legislation “will not change that, and speedy passage will do nothing to alleviate the immediate crisis for grain or any other commodity,” the letter said.

“In a normally functioning market, firms that fail to allocate the resources necessary to become sufficiently resilient to respond to increased demand or to obstacles, such as Canadian winters, which recur with some regularity, if not absolute predictability, lose customers to their nimbler competitors. The market for rail freight services in Canada is not a normally functioning market, and rail capacity issues and crises of one sort or another will continue to arise to the detriment of captive shippers and the Canadian economy.”

The Senate committee is currently focusing on hearing witnesses from the airline and maritime shipping industry about their issues with the bill.

Rising exports, ethanol use cut into U.S. corn stockpile — USDA The agency also pegged the nation’s soybean stockpile to grow even larger

BY MARK WEINRAUB Reuters

U

.S. corn supplies will be smaller than expected due to strong export demand and rising ethanol production while the already ample soybean stockpile was forecast to rise, the U.S. Agriculture Department said March 8.

U.S. soybean exports face increased competition from Brazil, the top world supplier.

The government raised its outlook for Brazil soybean production by one million tonnes

and its export outlook for the country by 1.5 million tonnes.

But it lowered its outlook for the Argentine soybean crop by seven million tonnes. It also trimmed the Argentine corn harvest forecast by three million tonnes as hot and dry weather has cut yield potential in key growing areas of the country.

The USDA also boosted its outlook for wheat ending stocks as U.S. supplies were priced too high to compete in the export market.

In its monthly supply-anddemand report, USDA pegged corn ending stocks at 2.127

Domestic soybean ending stocks were seen at 555 million bushels, up 25 million bushels from the February forecast.

billion bushels, down from 2.352 billion last month and below the low end of market forecasts given in a Reuters poll that ranged from 2.240 B:10.25 in

billion bushels to 2.352 billion bushels.

USDA raised its U.S. corn export forecast for the 2017-18 marketing year by 175 million bushels to 2.225 billion bushels. It also raised its estimate of corn used for ethanol to 5.575 billion bushels from 5.525 billion bushels.

Domestic soybean ending stocks were seen at 555 million bushels, up 25 million bushels from the February forecast.

The average of analysts’ estimates in a Reuters poll for soybean ending stocks was 530 million bushels.

USDA lowered its U.S. soy-

bean export view to 2.065 billion bushels from 2.100 billion bushels. But it raised its crush estimate by 10 million bushels to 1.960 billion bushels.

U.S. wheat ending stocks were seen at 1.034 billion bushels, up from 1.009 billion bushels in February. USDA lowered the wheat export outlook to 925 million bushels from 950 million bushels.

In Argentina, the corn crop was seen at 36 million tonnes and the soybean crop at 47 million tonnes. Brazil’s soybean harvest was seen at 113 million tonnes and its corn harvest at 94.5 million tonnes.

Argentina drought bakes crops, sparks rally Despite production concerns, global grains are likely to remain in oversupply

It’s basically been a gift.”

A

rgentina’s worst drought in decades is shrivelling farmers’ fields, sending grain prices soaring and forcing Bunge and other major crop processors to crush fewer oilseeds into feed that fattens livestock around the world.

The drought in Argentina, the world’s No. 3 exporter of corn and soybeans, has not ended a scenario of global oversupply left by years of bumper harvests driven by good weather and genetically engineered crops.

But combined with separate bouts of dryness threatening crops in U.S. Plains states and South Africa, losses in Argentina are eating into global reserves and prompting global buyers to accelerate purchases.

Farmers in the U.S. Midwest are scrambling to sell grain that has been held in storage for months to take advantage of pr ices rallying on Argentina’s struggles.

Ro m a n o h a s t h e o p p o s i t e point of view. His soybean and corn plants stand at only half their typical height, starved of rain. Corn ears are 70 per cent smaller than normal about a month before harvest is set to begin.

“This is going to have a very big impact on the regional economy,” he said, adding that farmers were praying for rain to mitigate more losses to late-planted crops.

Rains this growing season have only been a quarter of n o r m a l , Ro m a n o s a i d . A t most, he expects his soybeans to produce a third of their normal yield.

The Buenos Aires grains exchange cut three million tonnes off its soy forecast on Thursday, putting it about a quarter smaller than last year’s crop.

in Brazil and Europe, allowing global processors to lock in profits.

Hedge funds have bought into the rally, placing the most bullish bets on CBOT soymeal prices ever. For the first time since August, there are also more speculative bets for higher pr ices in CBOT corn futures than there are for lower prices.

Such losses ripple around the world because Argentina is also the world’s top supplier of soybean meal, used to feed livestock, and soyoil.

Soymeal and soybean futures contract pr ices on Friday reached their highest price since the summer of 2016, while corn futures touched an eight-month high.

The rally comes in the nick of time for U.S. farmers. As growers in the Midwestern Corn Belt prepare for spring planting, farmland rents are coming due. So, too, are bills for inputs, such as fertilizer and seeds which have remained stubbornly high.

U.S. farmers and traders are profiting from increased export demand, with global buyers shifting business away from Argentina. Over the past seven weeks, exporters have sold nearly 12.5 million tonnes of U.S. corn to foreign buyers, in the busiest stretch of sales in 23 years, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture data.

Merchants that make money buying, selling and p ro c e s s i n g h a r v e s t s, s u c h as Archer Daniels Midland, Bunge and Cargill, have also benefited from higher margins.

On Friday, estimated U.S. profit margins for processing one bushel of soybeans into soymeal and soyoil reached more than US$1.60 per bushel on the Chicago Board of Trade, a level seen only once before, four years ago.

Margins have also improved

In Argentina, growers have s l ow e d s a l e s o f s oy b e a n s, and cr ushing plants operated by companies such as Bunge have reduced operations, according to a crush manager for a major international soy processor. A Bunge spokeswoman declined to comment.

Argentina, which accounted for about 48 per cent of total global shipments of soybean meal last year, is expected to import more soybeans from n e i g h b o u r Pa r a g u a y t h a n usual to make up for the losses, said the manager, who spoke on the condition on anonymity.

In o t h e r re g i o n s , S o u t h Africa, another corn exporter has declared a national disaster over drought. Dryness is also threatening wheat-growing areas in the central part of the United States.

The damage leaves grain m a rk e t s m o re s u s c e p t i b l e to swings driven by weather threats during the U.S. summer growing season, according to traders.

“A good part of the buffer the world had on beans has been lost,” Cargill told Reuters.

To be sure, global soybean ending inventories are still a record at 98 million tonnes, up 87 per cent from 10 years ago, according to the U.S. Agriculture Department. The pr ice rally could be shor t lived and eventually worsen the supply glut as farmers are expected to plant more U.S. acres with soybeans this spring.

But U.S. chicken producers such as Sanderson Farms and Pilgrim’s Pride still face potentially higher feed costs, after benefiting for years from low grain prices.

Fiscal 2018 feed costs for Sanderson, the third-biggest U.S. poultry producer, would have been more than US$50 million higher than the previous year, if the company had priced all that it needs to buy last month, chief executive Joe Sanderson told analysts on an earnings call in February.

“Soy m e a l’s o f f a n d r u n ning,” he said, “because of Argentina.”

rise in U.S. corn prices has helped lift the entire feed market in southern Alberta, however, one industry expert says it isn’t the only factor strengthening the market.

“Barley is getting increasingly difficult to buy as we clean up oldcrop supplies,” said Allen Pirness of Market Place Commodities in Lethbridge.

He added cattle feeders were turning more and more to corn and wheat as a result.

Feed wheat is still readily available but Pirness says regular wheat sales are slowing down due to two reasons.

For one, he explains, sellers are keenly watching what’s happening with Kansas City wheat as the drought in the U.S. Plains is creating ideas this year’s crop could be much lower than normal which would lead to a rally in price.

“The bad performances by the railways this year also mean the elevators can’t ship enough wheat to port.”

Allen Pirness Market Place Commodities

“The bad performances by the railways this year also mean the elevators can’t ship enough wheat to port,” he explained, noting some of it was moving into the feed market by farmers who wanted to take advantage of the high prices.

Pirness says many other farmers were holding back wheat sales in the hope of higher prices down the road.

Currently prices for barley and corn are hovering around the $240-per-tonne mark, while wheat was close behind at $235.

That’s roughly $20 higher than last month.

He explains one of the reasons buyers like corn so much is because of the available supply. He says an operator can pick up the phone and buy 10,000 tonnes whereas with barley you can sometimes only get 40 tonnes with 10 phone calls.

Going forward he doesn’t see a price pullback coming any time soon.

“At least until we get some better definition on the (U.S.) winter wheat crop, I think that will tip the balance,” he said.

If a break does come in the wheat futures it could push barley even higher as it will be tougher to buy wheat in Western Canada.

He hopes the current situation will encourage western farmers to plant more barley this spring.

“Because there is a good return right now,” he said.

Steady sunflower acreage expected PepsiCo’s shuttering of an Alberta processing plant won’t change demand for crop, analysts say

BY PHIL FRANZ-WARKENTIN CNS Canada

T

he Manitoba sunflower market is holding steady for the time being, with acres likely unchanged on the year despite shifts in the processing sector.

The PepsiCo-owned Spitz s u n f l owe r s e e d p ro c e s s o r in Bow Island, Alta. recently announced it was shuttering its Canadian facility and shifting production to the United States.

Meanwhile, Manitoba has seen M&C Commodities open up shop processing sunflower oil in Beausejour in recent months.

“With the latest news, (acres will) probably be flat,” said Daryl Rex, research agronomist with the National Sunflower Association of Canada. He said prices were holding steady, but farmers had good yields in 2017 which should keep them interested in the crop.

The full impact of the Spitz closure is unknown for now, but Rex noted that the company will still require product – just in the U.S. rather than Alberta.

“It seems to be the core producers are staying in it,” said Rex. He added that actual acreage in the spring will also depend on snowfall between now and April.

“It seems to be the core producers are staying in it.”

Daryl Rex National Sunflower Association of Canada

“The market is moving sideways, with nothing dramatic at this stage to say if it’s moving up or down,” said Phil Van Bergen, assistant vicepresident with Agr i-Tel in Beausejour.

Van Bergen said sunflowT:10.25”

ers were in the “middle of the road” when it comes to rankings of predicted profitability, with farmers who typically grow the crop likely keeping a similar amount as last year in the rotation.

The latest estimates from Agr iculture and Agr i-Food Canada forecast seeded Canadian sunflower area in 2018 at 64,000 acres, which would be unchanged from the previous year. The bulk of Canada’s crop is grown in Manitoba.

Canada grew 58,000 tonnes of sunflowers in 2017-18 on very good yields, but a return to average yields would

see production decline in 2018-19.

New crop prices are currently hover ing around 23 cents per bushel for oilseed sunflowers, which is in line with spot prices. “Where that goes from here is hard to say,” said Van Bergen.

The higher-than-normal yields in 2017 left more unspoken for sunflower seed in the marketplace than normal. Those uncontracted seeds are moving now, with producers looking to clear up bin space and move some supplies before road bans come into effect, said Van Bergen.

Roland reeve recovering from severe West Nile virus John Hughes spent 13 months in hospital after developing the most serious form of West Nile virus in September 2016

BY LORRAINE STEVENSON Co-operator staff / Roland

A

Roland man who spent 13 months in hospital following a West Nile virus (WNV) infection hopes some normalcy returns to his life this year.

“This year my goal is to be able to get up and onto my tractor, and mow my yard and walk around the house,” said John Hughes, husband and father of two, who says he’s still recovering from his 2016 illness.

“And I would love to get back to work.”

A p ro j e c t m a n a g e r a t Ro n a in Winkler and reeve of Roland Municipality, Hughes says he’s a living example of how one bite — from an infected Culex tarsalis mosquito — can change your life.

It nearly cost him his.

He distinctly recalls the day he started feeling ill. It was September 2, 2016.

“We were moving my daughter into the city and that weekend I loaded up the truck and trailer and it was all good,” he said. “The next day I felt weak like I had the flu and by the time we drove into the city I said, ‘I don’t think I can lift anything.’”

He steadily felt worse and worse over the next few days, thinking it was flu, but on September 8 he couldn’t get out of bed.

“I couldn’t move my legs,” he said. That’s when his wife MaryLou immediately bundled him into the car and rushed him to Health Sciences Centre in Winnipeg. He was admitted immediately and a battery of tests ordered. Doctors confirmed he’d contracted WNV.

One in 150 There are no vaccines to prevent WNV, nor medications to treat it, but most who get infected don’t have symptoms, according to information from the U.S. Centres for Diseases Control. Another one in five will develop a fever and other flu-like symptoms. About one in 150 will become extremely ill and can even die.

John was that one in 150 and by September 11 he was in a coma he would not emerge from until late December.

“They told me ‘these are the odds... one-third make a full recovery. And one-third make a partial recovery and one-third die,” said his wife Mary-Lou. Further complicating John’s condition was that he is diabetic and had a kidney transplant; he was taken off his anti-rejection meds to save his life, she adds.

“They told me they were going to sacrifice his brother’s kidney and take him off all his meds so that he could fight this virus.”

Mary-Lou and John Hughes were always careful to avoid mosquito bites, but say it never crossed their minds how serious an illness from West Nile virus could get. PHOTO: LORRAINE STEVENSON

The months that followed were excruciating. John woke up from his coma on Dec. 23. By then his 52nd birthday passed, as had the U.S. election. He says he couldn’t believe it when they told him Donald Trump had won.

Slowly he began to regain his ability to speak, move a hand and shift his head back and forth, but he would spend from March to October in the rehabilitation ward at HSC. Now home again, he remains in a wheelchair but feels he’s making progress and is eager to resume his busy life. He intends to seek reelection as reeve of Roland in this October’s election.

“I’ve just made that decision this week.”

Gratitude and caution The couple says by telling John’s story they hope to convey two messages. One is how grateful they are for the support and care they received throughout this ordeal.

Theirs is also a cautionary tale about being bitten by mosquitoes, they add.

They were certainly careful themselves, says the couple.

“They told me ‘these are the odds... one-third make a full recovery.

And one-third make a partial recovery and one-third die.”

Mary-Lou Hughes

“We enjoy the outdoors but we always have these huge fans on our back patio running when we’re out there sitting so they’re moving the air,” said Mary-Lou. “We built a screened patio to go out and sit in too,” she adds. There are always cans of mosquito spray around the house to apply, too, she adds.

It w i l l a l w a y s b e a m y s t e r y where John was bitten, says the couple. It likely was somewhere he didn’t expect to be exposed to mosquitoes.

As a municipal leader himself, John knows local governments bear a responsibility to protect the pub-

lic with spray programs. But individuals must take precautions too, he said.

“You have to dress for the winter. You have to dress for the mosquitoes.”

That means covering up in lightcoloured clothing when outside and wearing a mosquito spray containing DEET. “The key word is DEET. There’s a lot of pretty smelling stuff but DEET kills,” he said.

Provincial advisories point out the risk for contracting an infection is typically between mid-July to end of August when mosquito populations are highest. Warm, dry conditions are ideal for Culex tarsalis development and activity.

WNV first appeared in North America in 1999 and spread steadily across the continent. The virus was first detected in birds in July 2002, and now is found throughout Manitoba.

Those who spend large amounts of time outside — such as the farming community — are at the greatest risk of exposure. lorraine@fbcpublishing.com

“

entlemen, start your engines!” I wonder how many times I have overheard that sentence in my house.

Yes, I am married to an automobile racing fan. Because the race-car drivers usually drink milk at the end, I guess racing has a nutrition connection.

This long, cold winter has been a challenge for vehicles and our bodies. One of our vehicles, which has a lot of miles, has spent a few nights in a shop. Sometimes it doesn’t like to move very easily, or at all, in extremely cold weather. I can relate to my van.

Our bodies and our vehicles have an important thing in common: They both need to be maintained. Sometimes we can prevent major issues through preventive maintenance.

About a year ago, my extension colleagues Cindy Klapperich and Kristi Berdal and I embarked on a new project. We dreamed up an idea for extension programming in our hotel room while we were at a conference. We had lots of fun exploring the possibilities.

We also knew we had very few extension health materials created just for men.

However, being women, we weren’t exactly sure what men really wanted to know about health. Maybe men didn’t want to know anything.

How do you find out what people want to know? You ask them. We created an online survey and we were pleasantly surprised by the number of men who completed it. Anyone could fill it out. We had 557 people complete the survey, with 519 respondents indicating they were male. They ranged in age from 18 to more than 76 and they lived on farms, and in small towns and fairly large cities.

They rated the health topics of greatest concern to them, and they provided many thoughtful, helpful comments. They told us that cancer (especially colon), high blood pressure, heart disease, overweight, stress and prostate health were their top issues of concern. They wanted to know about nutritional needs of men, fitness, and quick, healthful snacks and recipes, among many other things.

Think of a healthy diet as part of your body’s preventive maintenance program. PHOTO: getty images

They told us that professionals were their preferred place to get health information, followed by a spouse/significant other and websites. They liked face-to-face conversations the best, but classes and handouts were other ways they liked to learn.

I suppose my colleagues and I could have stopped there and published a research paper. But we didn’t stop with the research.

In the extension system, research guides what we do. We created fact sheets, a card game, displays and a bingo game. We sought men’s input on a graphic to use on all the pieces. (It looks like a wrench, by the way.)

In January 2018, we released a new program, “Healthwise for Guys,” which includes a website with fact sheets covering the topics men requested and much more. The program has easy-to-make recipes tested by my six interns studying to be dietitians. The website also includes links to a wide range of research-based health information. The fact sheets are printable in case you prefer that format. Our initial focus is on cancer (including skin, colon and prostate).

We invite all of you — regardless of gender — to explore the brand new Healthwise for Guys website, which will grow through time. As a leading source of health information, spouses or significant others need to arm themselves with accurate content for these important face-toface conversations with all the men in their lives.

Visit https://www.ag.ndsu.edu/healthwiseforguys for information and links, and stay tuned for local offerings of health-related presentations and interactive displays offered by many extension county offices. The link to “More Health Information” takes you to a wide range of nutrition and physical activity information from the NDSU Extension Service.

So, gentlemen, what are some ways to keep your body running smoothly? Fill it with premium fuel, such as whole grains, lean protein, calcium-rich foods and beverages, and plenty of fruits and vegetables. Get at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity on most days of the week. Get regular checkups, too.

Here’s one of the easy-to-make recipes from the fact sheet about colon cancer. It’s a good source of fibre from the black-eyed peas and black beans.

Southwest Bean Dip

Drain and rinse beans. Set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, sugar, white wine vinegar and chili powder. Add tomatoes, black-eyed peas, beans, corn, red onion and bell peppers. Stir to combine. Stir in cilantro. Cover and chill at least one hour or overnight to blend flavors. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

1/2 c. olive oil 1/3 c. white wine vinegar 1 tsp. chili powder 1 lb. Roma tomatoes, diced 1 (15-oz.) can black-eyed peas 1 (15-oz.) can black beans 2 c. frozen corn 1 red onion, diced 1/2 c. green bell pepper, diced 1/2 c. red bell pepper, diced 1 c. cilantro, chopped 2 tbsp. sugar (or less, to taste)

This easy-to-make recipe is a good source of fiber.

Former Shoal Lake resident launching new book

hile a former Shoal Lake resident, now living in Langdon, Alberta, would one day love to be writing as a career, she will always be a physician first — a choice made upon graduating from high school in 1996.

Having published two books to date, Heather Marie Gooden has written a third which will hopefully be ready to publish soon.

The married mother of three feels her trilogy offers the young adult reader escapist fun and friendship; stories are about people achieving anything they set their minds to with determination.

“I have also completed books four and five, which are not part of the trilogy, but are a continuation, following the characters in their further adventures,” said Gooden.

Heather Marie Gooden PHOTO: COURTESY

Heather, the daughter of Jim and Sharon Menzies, can remember loving to write when she was a student in Shoal Lake, and had a piece published in the local paper.

She opted for a personal goal of becoming a doctor instead, and after high school she attended the University of Manitoba, graduating with a B.Sc. in microbiology in 2000, followed by a BA in psychology with a minor in history in 2002, and then her doctor of medicine in 2006, followed by a residency in family medicine from McGill University in 2008. Having worked as a family physician for approximately 10 years, Gooden lives in the Alberta community, just outside of Calgary, with her husband Thomas and three children, Alexis (six), Samantha (five), and threeyear-old Matthew.

“Writing for me is a chance to unwind and de-stress from a sometimes painful profession,” said Gooden. “I deal with a lot of serious illness, and offer palliative care for my patients, so I often have to deal with grief and loss. Writing offers me a chance to express these feelings in a way that I find healing.”

Blending a professional side of life, with a family one, Gooden would like to do more writing in the future if obligations allow. But for now, she loves curling up in a quiet spot, reflecting on a busy day, before burying her mind into a book.

ince releasing their debut album “The Good Life” in the spring of 2017, the five-piece group Prairie Joe, based in Oak Lake, is making a mark in Canada’s gospel music industry.

The band consists of four brothers and a brother-in-law: Robert Thiessen ( l e a d s i n g e r, g u i t a r i s t ) , Jo s e p h Thiessen (mandolin), Russell Thiessen (vocalist, percussion), Michael Thiessen (bass) and Curtis Szakács (piano).

They were nominated for New Artist of the Year and Southern Gospel/ Country Music Album of the Year and were in attendance at the Gospel Music Association (GMA) of Canada’s 39th Annual Covenant Awards ceremony in Edmonton this past January.

In spite of not winning an award they are thankful to be recognized.

Prior to becoming Prairie Joe in 2015, the group played gigs for four or five years as a family band.

“As the band developed and the need came up for better-quality music and the gigs we got became more formal, we worked a lot harder on our harmonizing,” said Russell Thiessen.

“As self-taught musicians we were involved in church music growing up, so it was ‘just natural’ to keep performing as adults even though we all have day jobs,” he said.

The group’s rise within the Canadian

music industry all began through involvement with the Fellowship of Christian Cowboys.

“Our primary focus and most of our invitations come for help with cowboy church services. That’s where everything started; serving at cowboy church services at different rodeos and such,” Russell said. “From there, it’s gone on to full concerts as well as helping with fundraisers and stuff like that.”

Experience gained at the GMA award ceremony will enrich the group members as they travel across the Prairies, with 30 shows booked so far for 2018.

They begin a tour this month starting in Melfort, Saskatchewan, that continues throughout southern Manitoba.

It’s almost time to plant tomato seeds indoors Most varieties should be planted six weeks before the last frost After they germinate, the seedlings develop nicely in this environment until they get their first set of true leaves.

By Albert Parsons Freelance contributor

I

t will soon be time to plant tomato seeds. Most experts say to plant them about six weeks before the last frost, meaning six weeks before you plant the seedlings into the garden.

Although I generally follow the six-week rule, I tend to push the date up a bit simply because I have almost ideal conditions for growing tomato plants. According to my garden journal, last year I seeded tomatoes on April 9 and the plants were just the right size when I transplanted them into the garden.

I put the seeding trays under the lights in my furnace room light garden where the temperature is quite warm. After they germinate, the seedlings develop nicely in this environment until they get their first set of true leaves. The plants are then transplanted into packs and placed on south-facing sunroom windowsills. By mid-May the plants are outdoors inside a heated cold frame which has a southern exposure. This way they do not get leggy because they get lots of light. They are also perfectly hardened off when it comes time to plant them out.

Instead of trying to push all my tomatoes to ripen early, I concentrate on just a few plants

Tumbler is a large cherry tomato and it is very prolific. PHOTO: ALBERT PARSONS

to produce early ripe tomatoes. Usually I put one plant of an early variety in the garden along with the other plants.

Most main crop tomatoes such as Fantastic, Beefsteak and Celebrity are rated over 70 days to ripe fruit. There are a few varieties, however, that are rated below 50, like Sub Arctic Maxi, and these will produce ripe tomatoes a full two weeks before many others.

For the past few years I have used a different approach to getting early tomatoes with good results, using a variety called Tumbler, which is rated as a 48-day tomato. Tumbler is a large cherry tomato, producing fruits about three cm in diame-

ter. All early varieties of tomatoes are determinate types, meaning they produce just so much vine and flowers and then they stop. I mainly grow indeterminate varieties because they are more productive and I like the fact that they produce new fruit right up to the end of the season, thus ensuring a longer tomato season.

I plant Tumbler tomato plants in a large terra cotta pot which is located in an area where it gets lots of sun and is sheltered from wind. The container I use is about 60 cm in diameter and I put four plants around the outside edge of the container and one in the centre. I put a short stake in the centre of the pot

right next to the plant and make sure it is securely held in place in the soil. As its name implies, Tumbler has a bit of a cascading growth habit and it does not harm the plants or impede their productivity to let them tumble over the edge of the container, but I like to have the centre plant staked or all the plant growth tends to topple over and be concentrated around the edge of the pot leaving the centre of the container empty.

Tomatoes grown in containers use a huge amount of water and when the plants are mature I find myself watering the pot almost every day during hot weather. I put a deep plastic saucer under the pot to give the plants an additional source of water. I also use a 20-20-20 soluble fertilizer in the water even though I put some slow-

release fertilizer in the soilless mix I use in the pot. Tomatoes are heavy feeders.

One big advantage of growing anything in a container is that it is portable. If a cold night occurs or a couple of days of below 10° temperatures, the container can be moved indoors. Tomatoes do not like to be chilled so I do not plant my main crop tomatoes into the garden until the nighttime temperatures are reliably above 10°. Because of its sheltered location and the fact that I can move it indoors when needed, I plant my Tumbler tomatoes earlier than those that go into the garden.

I am always amazed at how quickly Tumbler tomatoes develop. They are sometimes in bloom when I plant up the container and they soon begin to develop fruits after they are planted into the container. By the end of the first week in July there are fresh Tumbler tomatoes to be eaten, a month earlier than the main crop. Gradually the plants flag as their fruit is continually harvested, and by late August they are picked bare and are pulled up and the container is emptied.

If you want early tomatoes, try the variety Tumbler; it will not disappoint you.

Invasive birds — some welcome, others not Some species had been deliberately introduced to the country, while others came on their own This has led the World Conservation Union to label invasive species as “the second most significant threat to biodiversity, after habitat loss.”

By Donna Gamache Freelance contributor

A

lien invaders in your backyard? I recently saw three from my kitchen window, and I was pleased to see them, as they weren’t from outer space. These invaders were Eurasian collareddoves, which are spreading across the southern part of Manitoba.

The Eurasian collared-dove first arrived in the New World in the 1970s. Some were brought as pets to the Bahamas and escaped from a pet store, while others were deliberately set free. By the 1980s they had reached south Florida, and from there began their spread in a northwesterly direction across the U.S. They became the fastest-spreading invasive avian species known so far, and have now been sighted all the way to Alaska, although they are still relatively rare in Manitoba.

The collared-dove is larger than our native mourning dove, greyish beige in colour, with a narrow, black half-collar edged with white around the back of the neck, but lacking the black spots common on the wings and sides of the mourning dove. Their call is a three-syllable “coo-COO-coo.”

They are ground feeders and, unlike our native doves, do not migrate seasonally, so in winter they frequent yards with bird feeders or farmyards.

Bird-lovers fear this species might have a negative impact on mourning doves, but so far research indicates that the native population actually seems to be greater when they coexist with collared-doves. For more information and pictures go to:

https://www.allaboutbirds.org/ guide/Eurasian_Collared-Dove/ id.

Although the collared-dove has been welcomed by most, other invading species have had negative impacts, such as the house sparrow (a.k.a. English sparrow). A few of these, probably less than 50, were introduced in Brooklyn, N.Y. in the early 1850s,

because they were considered attractive and might help to control insect pests. They spread rapidly across the U.S. and into Canada in only 50 years — some considering them pests, others admiring them for being able to withstand our winters. By 1917, the house sparrow was already being blamed for the decline of songbirds, as it competes for food

and nesting sites. Local birders with lines of bluebird nest boxes often discover them taken over by sparrows.

A third common invading species, which was also deliberately introduced, is the European starling. A group called “The A m e r i c a n Ac c l i m a t i z a t i o n Society,” decided to bring to the U.S. every bird species mentioned in the plays of William Shakespeare. Many species failed, but the starling took hold. Over two years (1890-91) about 100 of them were released in New York City. These quickly spread across the continent except the Far North, negatively affecting many native birds, as well as damaging crops and eating grain set out for cattle. Estimates today put their number at 200 million, despite efforts to control them. One program in California in the 1960s resulted in nine million slaughtered, but enough remained to continue reproducing. Damage caused by starlings can be particularly bad because they often congregate in enormous flocks, which have occasionally caused airplane crashes. They are also

carriers of both human and livestock diseases, and impact many songbirds by bullying them from their nests and food.

Another of our birds (introduced in the 1600s) is the rock pigeon, said to have been brought by settlers to Nova Scotia in1606, and later to Virginia and Massachusetts, and now common in cities and towns across the world.

A non-native bird that rural residents might recognize is the grey partridge, introduced as a game bird in the early 1900s. It has spread across prairie areas of southern Canada/northern U.S., and is most often seen in small flocks.

Some birds have invaded the Americas on their own, such as the Old World cattle egret. Around 1880 it reached the northern coast of South America, and by 1940 spread to Florida and across the U.S. In southern Manitoba this egret is now found near wetland areas such as Whitewater Lake, near Boissevain, frequently around cattle herds.

How introduced species affect the ecosystem varies from species to species. Often, the negatives — competition for nesting sites and food, consumption of crops, transmission of diseases, and disruption of the predator/ prey balance — outweigh the positives. This has led the World Conservation Union to label invasive species as “the second most significant threat to biodiversity, after habitat loss.”

Even so, I’ll still gladly welcome the Eurasian collared-doves at my feeders.

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 interested in hearing all sorts of experiences about the elevators — funny, sad, or anything in between. Readers willing to share their stories can leave messages at 204-474-7469.

When this photo was taken in 1960, Dauphin’s “elevator row” along First Avenue had six members. At left was a Pool elevator dating from 1927 and labelled B when Pool A was built beside it in 1948. The brown National elevator in centre was built in 1952 and a preceding elevator was converted to an annex. Behind it was Pool D, acquired from Lake of the Woods Milling in 1959, that by 1962 had become United Grain Growers’ #2 elevator. At right was the original UGG elevator built around 1918, about the same time that another elevator, not visible behind UGG #1, was built by the Liberty Grain Company. It was sold to Searle Grain in 1929. All of them are now gone. Source: University of Manitoba Archives & Special Collections

Grow your own in 30 below A transplanted chef is on an Arctic self-sufficiency mission

BY THIN LEI WIN Thomson Reuters Foundation/ LONGYEARBYEN, Norway

I

n one of the planet’s most northerly settlements, in a tiny Arctic town of about 2,000 people, Benjamin Vidmar’s domed greenhouse stands out like an alien structure in the snowcloaked landscape.

This is where in summer the American chef grows tomatoes, onions, chilies and other vegetables, taking advantage of the season’s 24 hours of daily sunlight.

During winter’s four months of darkness, when temperatures can reach -30 C (-22 F), Vidmar tends to microgreens — the leaves and shoots of young salad plants — and dozens of quails in two rooms beneath his home.

He is the sole supplier of locally grown food in the Norwegian town of Longyearbyen in the Svalbard archipelago. The North Pole is about 1,050 kilometres (650 miles) to the north; mainland Norway is about as far south.

Growing food in such conditions can be “mission impossible” but it is necessary, Vidmar told the Thomson Reuters Foundation. He hopes to set an example for other remote towns in the region. “ We a r e s o d e p e n d e n t o n imports. Everything is by boat and plane,” said Vidmar, who comes from Cleveland, Ohio, and who has lived here for nearly a decade.

That makes the town vulnerable, he said. In 2010, stores in Longyearbyen stood empty after an Icelandic volcano erupted, bringing air transport to a halt.

And the cost of imported food and its quality “is often disappointing.”

His c o m p a n y, Polar Permaculture, aims to produce enough food for the town and process all its organic and biological waste.

It sounds ambitious, but the firm, which received support from a government-funded body that helps startups, broke even last year, just two years in.

It was helped by the fact that he and his teenage son do not draw salaries, and Vidmar still cooks full time at a school.

‘Crazy’ to try Vidmar’s produce now appears on many of Longyearbyen’s menus, including at Huset restaurant w h e re i n t r i c a t e, m u l t i - c o u r s e Nordic-tasting menus are served in stately surroundings.

Alongside reindeer steak and tartare of bearded seal is a delicate dish of quail egg with dill, re d o n i o n s a n d a n c h ov i e s o n flatbread.

“We would not use quail eggs u n l e s s t h e y we re l o c a l s o we designed a dish as soon as we got the opportunity to try them,” said Filip Gemzell, Huset’s head chef.

“We’re on a mission… to make this town very sustainable. Because if we can do it here, then what’s everybody else’s excuse?”

Benjamin Vidmar chef and polar farmer

Vidmar first stepped foot in Svalbard in 2007 while working as a chef on a cruise ship. One of his first thoughts was, “How can people live here?” but he was also intrigued.

“The sad part (in America) is you work so hard and you still have to worry about money. Then you come here and you have all this nature. No distraction, no huge shopping centres, no billboards saying, ‘buy, buy, buy.’”

A year later, he moved to the island and started working at restaurants and bars in Longyearbyen, a coal mining town turned touristand-research attraction.

He decided to grow his own food after becoming frustrated with the absence of fresh produce and the fact that a lack of treatment sites meant organic waste was dumped into the sea.

People thought he was “crazy” trying to grow food in the Arctic.

Initially he experimented with hydroponics — farming in water instead of soil — but that meant using fertilizer, which comes from

the mainland. Eventually the city authorities gave him permission to bring in worms from Florida to do the job.

Now, whenever he or his son deliver a tray of microgreens to restaurants, they collect the previous tray and feed the soil to the worms, which break it down to produce natural fertilizer for bigger plants.

His next aim is to heat the greenhouse during winter using a biodigester — which generates energy from organic material — so he can use it all year round.

Sustainability Vidmar also helps fourthand ninth-grade students at Longyearbyen school to learn farming and sustainability. That has led older students to query the island’s supply chain, said teacher Lisa Dymbe Djonne.

“They question the transportation of food from the mainland to here and how expensive that is,” she told the Thomson Reuters Foundation by phone.

“ T h e y ’re g o i n g t o i n t e r v i e w some of the leaders... to figure out how much it costs for the island and if it is possible to grow our own food,” she added.

“It’s a question a lot of people up here have.”

Eivind Uleberg, a scientist at the Nor wegian Institute for Bioeconomy Research in Tromso in northern Norway, said that fit a pattern of rising interest in locally produced food and sustainability in agriculture.

In a phone interview, Uleberg said that, although he was unaware of Vidmar’s undertaking, efforts to produce food locally in Norway were positive.

A short growing season and low temperatures are the main barriers to producing food in such latitudes, he said, but higher temperatures caused by climate change could help.

“There is definitely the potential to produce more vegetables and berries,” he said.

But there are also challenges, Uleberg added, including more rain in the autumn during harvest, and changing conditions in winter that could kill grasses crucial for animal feed.

For Vidmar, such obstacles and the unique conditions are the reason he is determined to produce “the freshest food possible.”

“We’re on a mission… to make this town ver y sustainable.

Because if we can do it here, then what’s everybody else’s excuse?”

“Some of this biomass is already being put to good use as livestock bedding and compost, but much of it is wasted and could be used as fuel.”

e a s y- t o - a c c e s s w e b - b a s e d planning tool that drills down and helps map our province’s ample supply of biomass.

“There are over five million tonnes of available biomass p ro d u c e d i n o u r p rov i n c e every year from agriculture, f o re s t r y re s i d u e, m a rg i n a l lands and roadside ditches,” said Geoffrey Gunn, who led the project. “Some of this biomass is already being put to good use as livestock bedding and compost, but much of it is wasted and could be used as fuel.”

Biomass ranges from wood and crops to cattails and grasses, and they are a viable and abundant source of renewable energy in the province. They offer a whole host of environmental and economic benefits.

Using biomass for energy in place of fossil fuels immediately reduces greenhouse gas emissions.

“An added benefit of harvesting non-traditional biomass such as cattails is the removal of nutrients such as phosphorus, which contribute to algal blooms,” said Gunn. “For example, if we were to remove 22 per cent of crop residue from agricultural fields and 25 per cent of harvestable cattail biomass, we could remove 2,000 to 5,000 tonnes of phosphorus from our landscape — a huge boon for the health of our lakes.”

Through the work and research of IISD experts such as Dr. Richard Grosshans at locations across the province, the organization has studied the ubiquitous cattail plant for nutrient removal and as an energy source that can be mixed with wood to create pellets that heat buildings and barns.

W h e re t h e re a re c a t t a i l plants, there tends to be water nearby. The water, at some time, is moving as part of the watershed and the cattails absorb toxic or problem-causing chemicals flowing by.

Gunn says that he has done presentations to key stakeholders and decision makers with the Bioeconomy Atlas to inform people about M a n i t o b a’s l a r g e b i o m a s s resources, particularly crop residues, marsh plants (such as cattail), and unused limbs and bark from the provincial logging industry. But he also says the atlas has a vital mainstream role to play and he wants to get it into the hands of producers and is brainstorming the best way to do that. Workshops, seminars and webinars are all in the works.

“The Manitoba Bioeconomy Atlas is an online tool, which means it is fully accessible free of charge for the public right now,” said Gunn. “I think we really need to connect with producers at the grassroots level to ensure they understand how this tool can help them benefit with planning and future decisions that they may be faced with around their biomass resources.”

Gunn admits that things in Manitoba are not quite at the stage where producers and land managers can load trucks with biomass and take them off to market as they do with a commodity crop or livestock. The limitations are twofold: 1) limited infrastructure and the few processing facilities that are unable to meet demand for 50,000 tonnes of biomass annually; and 2) minimal mechanisms to link producers to suppliers, and suppliers to consumers.

“Manitoba has tremendous potential to incorporate bioenergy in its growing renewable energy portfolio, as Canada strives to lower greenhouse gas emissions.

There’s a big opportunity to reduce energy costs, particularly for rural businesses,” said Gunn. “We want to help people make the right decision for their own situation.

Thanks to Growing Forward 2 funding and support from the provincial biomass community, we’ve developed a really powerful, exciting tool to help biomass work for Manitobans and grow a healthy and sustainable economy.”

U.K. promises post-Brexit agriculture plan Farmers are demanding more clarity, frictionless trade with EU

BY NIGEL HUNT Reuters

T

h e B r i t i s h g ov e r n ment will publish a consultation paper on future agriculture policy “very shortly,” Environment Minister Michael Gove said Feb. 20, as farmers demanded more clarity on their prospect after the country quits the European Union.

“Our consultation paper will outline how we plan to change things more broadly.

The paper will outline a clear direction of travel on how we can better deliver s u p p o r t ,” G ov e s a i d a t the annual conference of National Farmers Union.

“But it is a consultation, not a conclusion.”

British farmers have been growing increasingly impatient at the government’s failure to provide clear guidance on its plans for supporting agriculture after the U.K. leaves the EU. “For too long, ministers have claimed to have a plan.

So we ask again, let’s hear that plan,” Meurig Raymond, p re s i d e n t o f t h e f a r m ers’ union, told the group’s annual conference.

“We have 400 days until

“For too long, ministers have claimed to have a plan. So we ask again, let’s hear that plan.”

we leave the EU. We have a lot less time than that to get a trade deal agreed. Time is running out,” he said.

Britain is due to leave the EU on March 29, 2019.

The consultation paper will only cover England.

Agriculture in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland is the responsibility of the devolved administrations of those states.

One of Britain’s largest berry producers, Haygrove in Ledbury, Herefordshire, said earlier this month that it was relocating some raspberry and blueberry growing to China because of uncertainty over migrant labour caused

by Brexit.

“When I hear of a large fruit farmer in Herefordshire thinking of exporting his business to China, that is when I get nervous, that is why we need that commitment, why we need to know (on future trade and migrant

l a b o u r a r r a n g e m e n t s ) ,” Raymond said.

Gove said he had been discussing the labour issue with colleagues in the government, but he added that decisions on migration were ultimately decided by the Home Office.

Raymond said it was also vital that Britain not walk away from the EU, by far its biggest market for agricultural products.

“We must have frictionless trade with the EU. Everything else, including the final shape of any domestic agricultural policy, is dependent on that,” he said.

Gove said there was a strong incentive for Britain and the EU to agree a good trade deal.

“We want to continue to have tariff-free and as frictionless as possible trade with the European Union, and it is in their interests for that to work for the EU as well,” he said.

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!
