RESEARCH | FUNDING CUTS

SPARKS FLY AND THE CLOCK TICKS

Research funding decline worries institute

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

GUELPH, Ont. — The scientific director of the University of Guelph’s International Barcode of Life project says government commitment to long-term research funding is declining, and the consequences could be dire.

Paul Hebert said the Biodiversity Institute of Ontario, which houses the Barcode of Life Secretariat, has received tens of millions of dollars over the last decade.

However, he said governments are increasingly cutting research funding, restricting commitments to short-term projects aimed at creating market products for industry driven projects.

“In terms of investment in science, I think the last decade has been magnificent and we could dream in Technicolour,” he said. “I now see the situation changing for the worse and I worry.”

The Barcode of Life project has seen its budget cut dramatically and most funding is slated to expire in 2015.

MARKETING | CWB OWNERSHIP

CWB starts privatization with equity offer to prairie farmers Equity for grain | Farmers would receive $5 equity in the company for every tonne they sell

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The former Canadian Wheat Board has taken its first steps toward privatization.

It has unveiled a two-pronged plan that includes establishing a network of grain handling facilities across Western Canada and promising prairie farmers an equity stake in the soon-to-be privatized company.

Gord Flaten, CWB’s vice-president of grain procurement, said farmers across Western Canada will receive $5 worth of equity in the privatized CWB

for each tonne of grain they sell through CWB in the 2013-14 crop year.

The company did not say when privatization would occur or how the acquisition of grain handling facilities would be financed.

Details of the farmer equity plan were posted Sept. 13 on the CWB website.

“We are going to be announcing details of the grain handling network at a later date but right now, we’ve decided it’s important to inform farmers and our grain handling agents about the farmer ownership component so that when farmers are

making their decisions about marketing this fall, this information will be available,” said Flaten.

The promise of farmer equity is subject to CWB receiving legal, regulatory and governmental approvals, but Flaten expects that will be no problem.

Acquiring a network of grain handling facilities is an ambitious and costly strategy that could require tens, if not hundreds of millions of dollars worth of investment capital.

Flaten said Sept. 20 that CWB has identified potential corporate partners that could help CWB transition from a government-backed marketing agen-

cy with no grain handling assets to a private-sector company with country elevators and an ownership structure that includes farmer equity.

He declined to identify companies that might be involved in the privatization, saying details will be announced as decisions are finalized.

The new company will be “Canadian focused” but Flaten did not rule out the possibility that CWB would partner with either an Americanbased company or a foreign multinational involved in grain handling.

CWB privatization offer “We do have a number of other interested parties who we’ve been talking with and who have approached us about potential partnerships,” Flaten said.

Flaten did not offer a timeline for reaching an agreement but said CWB officials are eager to have a deal negotiated, approved and executed in advance of a government imposed Aug. 2017 deadline.

So far, farmer response to the CWB’s equity plan has been muted, largely because information has been slow to emerge, but also because most of Western Canada’s grain farmers are still knee-deep in harvest operations.

Stephen Vandervalk, president of Grain Grow ers of Canada and Alberta vice-president with Western Canadian Wheat Growers, said he learned about the CWB equity plan via email.

“I saw it on an email that came across my phone while I was harvesting and … I haven’t had a chance to look at it since.”

Vandervalk said many farmers will likely be wondering why equity in CWB is only be offered on CWB sales made in 2013-14.

Vandervalk said some producers

have already signed contracts to sell a significant portion of their 2013-14 crop to other companies.

Those farmers couldn’t take full advantage of the CWB equity offer even if they wanted to.

“I’m not sure why they are just picking one marketing year,” Vandervalk said.

“In my mind, they should look at sales over the last three or five or seven years and every farmer should get equity automatically based on those volumes.”

Another farmer who spoke with The Western Producer said the fact that CWB equity will only be offered to farmers who deal with the CWB in 2013-14 will leave a bitter taste in many growers’ mouths.

“My details are sketchy but it just struck me as being unfair,” said the Manitoba grain grower who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

“I’m glad the board is gone or that we’ve gone to a dual market but as pro-dual marketing as I was, I still felt that a lot of us got shafted with equity that we did have in the board,” he said.

Flaten said securities regulators would not allow the CWB to offer equity based on previous CWB sales.

Research funding critical

» CANOLA SUPPLY: The large canola crop

That’s a federal election year when government is often reluctant to make long-term funding commitments.

“I understand the need to cut budgets, but I also think we are going in the wrong way by reducing long-term funding,” said Hebert.

“If we lose blue-sky, what-if science, we will lose some of our best minds. They’ll go where governments will support science.”

Competition already exists from U.S. institutes interested in developing DNA bar code expertise. With future long-term funding uncertain, several staff members have moved.

Gilles Saindon, associate assistant deputy minister for the science and technology branch in Agriculture Canada, insisted in an interview as the last round of cuts were being planned that funding comparisons to two decades ago are invalid.

“It is very difficult because the way we recorded expenses then was on a science line,” he said. “Now it is completely different. We report on outcomes and innovation, food safety outcomes, environmental outcomes.”

additional spending from universities, provinces and the private sector.

Guelph Liberal MP Frank Valeriote, a booster of the institute, echoed Hebert’s concerns.

He said the DNA bar code technology was created at the University of Guelph and the Biodiversity Institute of Ontario, and their databank library with DNA bar code for hundreds of thousands of species is considered the world leader in the field.

“I think this presents an incredibly innovative, forward thinking opportunity for food safety and traceability and verifying food content,” he said.

“I’m worried that if we don’t recognize how incredibly important this is and how it puts Canada on the map, we could lose it and a lot of this incredible talent will go elsewhere.”

Ag Canada planned pitch to sell cuts Department argued that the goal was to get industry to take a bigger role in science and innovation projects

SNACK STOP | RESEARCH | FUNDING CUTS

Research funding comparisons not valid, says Ag Canada Pre-1994 to today | Funding goals and fundraising methods have changed

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Despite critics who argue government research funding levels have fallen from historic levels, Agriculture Canada’s top research official says attempts to compare departmental research spending levels then and now are futile.

The lobby group Grain Growers of Canada and opposition critics have been complaining for years that federal basic research spending lags far behind comparable 1994 levels before massive Liberal budget cuts.

They have been lobbying for a doubling of Agriculture Canada basic research funding over the next decade.

The last federal budget deepened research branch cuts.

But Gilles Saindon, associate assistant deputy minister for science and technology at Agriculture Canada, has said in the past that comparisons between how research was funded then and how it is handled now are not valid.

He said the emphasis today is on goals, innovation, food safety and environmental issues.

As well, in the 1990s before the deficit-fighting spending cuts, the agri-

culture department was the primary funding source for public agricultural research.

Today, it looks to the private sector to set research priorities and contribute funding.

“So the question is do we have the right capacity across the country to do the right research at the right time, building on each others’ strengths and I think that’s what we have paid attention to in setting priorities,” said Saindon.

“It is not always us doing. It is other departments, other agencies, universities.”

In the aftermath of the 1995 cuts, the government created the Matching Investment Initiative to try to fill the funding gap with more private sector spending.

The program had limited success.

Saindon said part of the problem was that the government led the process and expected the private sector to buy into research priorities set by others.

Now, industry and universities are involved in planning the priorities.

“So is it more, is it less?” he asked.

“How do you put a number on how much you are leveraging at universities so how do you compare? It is not just mathematics. How do you factor in that the canola industry

has a huge research investment.

That is the complexity of comparing numbers.”

During the interview, both Saindon and Andrew Goldstein, director general of the policy, planning and integration directorate, insisted the department continues to invest in basic long-term research despite questions from critics.

However, they said research project investment decisions must be made through the lens of what the industry needs to be profitable and innovative.

“It isn’t just enough to do scientific research to generate knowledge,” said Goldstein.

“It really is in the commercialization and the widespread adoption that you see that economic benefit of the research being realized.”

It is part of a change in philosophy that has been embedded in federalprovincial agriculture policy agreements in recent years.

“The philosophy of Growing Forward funding and programming is that we have funding to deal with the continuum and not put all the money into general knowledge,” said Saindon.

“We have to make sure it goes to the next step. It has to get to pre-commercialization. It has to get to that next step.”

Agriculture Canada bureaucrats hit upon a benign-sounding catch phrase as they devised strategies on how to explain and sell sharp research branch cuts in the March 21 federal budget.

The government was merely “rightsizing” the federal presence in agricultural research to reduce the government’s “footprint” and increase industry responsibility.

“This allows (Agriculture Canada) to further right-size the science and technology branch in support of science that aligns with departmental, governmental and sector priorities and the appropriate role for government in science innovation,” said a document called “speaking points” prepared for deputy agriculture minister Suzanne Vinet days before the budget was unveiled.

“The mid to long-term goal is to help position the industry to play a more active role in science and innovation activities.”

For many public servants, particularly in Western Canada, right sizing meant downsizing.

At least 230 science and technology branch positions have been or will be lost, and research sites or programs will be cut across the country, including more than a dozen in the West.

“The majority of discontinuation, consolidation and right-sizing activities are located in Western Canada, where the majority of government and industry science capacity is currently located,” said the memo to Vinet.

The federal government was also bracing for negative reaction, according to internal Agriculture Canada analyses and briefing notes for discussions with provincial agriculture ministers that Ottawa researcher Ken Rubin obtained under access to information rules.

“Reductions in science capacity will be viewed negatively by the sector and the unions,” the deputy minister was warned.

“Industry and academia opposition will be mixed, depending on their capacity to assume the work.

Beef, forage, dairy and greenhouse industries are expected to lobby against these decisions.”

As well, federal and provincial politicians and media were expected to be negative.

“Expect to see tables of cumulative (Agriculture Canada) cutbacks and editorials challenging the government of Canada’s commitment to the industry.”

In fact the government faced little sustained public pressure over the research cuts as agriculture minister Gerry Ritz continued to insist support for science and research had

never been stronger.

The departmental briefing notes said the changes were the result of the implementation of Growing Forward 2 April 1.

Many critics argued that the cuts to business risk management programs, staff, government programs and offices were a way to cut spending as Agriculture Canada’s contribution to government deficit reduction.

However, all references to the financial savings that would result were blacked out before the documents were released.

In the talking points drafted for the deputy minister, the department said it wasn’t a new tactic to sell the cuts as a way to strengthen the department’s spending effectiveness by making “focused investments” in areas where the government has a mandate while opening room for industry to contribute.

“This approach is consistent with earlier methods of reduction, in which we minimized the visibility of restraint exercises,” said the document.

“There is a risk of maintaining expectations because the science and technology branch will be seen to have capacity but may lack critical mass, flexibility and sufficient operating funds to be responsive to opportunities and challenges in a timely manner.”

The list of cuts and programs affected is extensive. A partial list includes: • Ending beef production research east of Saskatchewan and expecting universities and provinces to fill the gap.

• Cutting dairy research in Agassiz, B.C., Truro, N.S., and Guelph, Ont. • Closing research offices in Kamloops, B.C., One Four, B.C., and Staveley, Alta., with the work consolidated in Swift Current, Sask.

• Closing former Alberta Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration offices in Westlock, Peace River and Red Deer as well as Saskatchewan offices in Melville, Watrous, North Battleford and Weyburn.

• Ending pea breeding in Lacombe, Alta., and expecting the pea program at the University of Saskatchewan to pick up the slack.

• Ending most agro-environmental research.

• Cutting funding for a network of agricultural economics researchers across the country.

However, programs for some sensitive sectors were spared the cuts — hogs and grain.

“Changes to science support would be difficult given the current market environment for the hog sector,” said the briefing notes. “(It is important to continue science and technology branch science support during (the) current transition period for grains and oilseeds.”

ABIC | TECHNOLOGY

Canola yields poised for breakthrough Fine-tuning fertilizer package | Seed, equipment technology, and improved agronomic practices are poised to boost yields STORIES BY BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

CALGARY — Maurice Delage has set identical target yields for wheat, peas and canola next year on his farm near Indian Head, Sask.

He expects all three crops to average 65 bushels per acre.

His canola looks like it will shatter the 60 bu. target he established for this year. It was averaging 67 bu. per acre with 75 percent of the crop harvested.

That is partially the result of exceptional growing conditions, but Delage said a lot has to do with new seed technology, better agronomic practices and state-of-the-art equipment.

“It’s a whole bunch of developments that have all come together,” he said.

It all began with the commercialization of genetically modified canola in 1995.

Delage played a role in that development as Canadian president of Hoechst AG, a German company that created Liberty Link canola in conjunction with Agriculture Canada.

There had previously been no broadleaf weed control for the crop.

The only good herbicide farmers had at their disposal had to be incorporated into the soil, which disturbed the seed bed and made it hard to get a good stand of canola.

The second major breakthrough was the development of hybrids, which provided a “quantum leap” forward for the crop and is largely responsible for today’s astonishing yields.

“I can tell you that there are many, many growers that are achieving 50 and 60 bu. canola yields and some of them will be breaking 70 bu. this year,” said Delage.

It’s not just about the germplasm, he said. It’s also about how it is used.

Typical fertilizer rates on his farm are 130 pounds of nitrogen, 26 lb. of sulfur, 35 lb. of phosphate and 10 lb. of potassium per acre.

New seed and equipment technology and improved agronomic practices are boosting canola yields to new highs. | “Hybrids are like a thoroughbred.

You’ve got to feed them,” he said.

“It’s not just the genetics. There’s another level of potential there that has to do with how much input they’re prepared to take.”

Disease control is another key.

Delage estimates fungicide use on canola this year increased by 50 percent over the previous year because farmers didn’t want to contend with the same sclerotinia problems they had to deal with in 2012.

He also gives credit to the latest seeding equipment that allows growers to plant canola 13 millimetres deep in the ground and have it emerge in seven days.

However, it’s the new hybrids that are providing the biggest yield boost.

MAURICE DELAGE FARMER

Delage field-tested two new varieties this year.

“One that we’re really, really high on for next year is probably going to be a six to eight percent yield increase year-over-year,” he said.

“That’s a big bump. Every two to three years you can find another hybrid that can do that for you.”

An optimal fertility package might allow him to get a 10 bu. per acre increase over this year’s varieties

with the new hybrid.

“That’s what you do. You take the technology and you adapt it to your farm as opposed to having somebody else tell you what you need to be doing,” said Delage.

He said hybrids are the biggest advantage canola has over soybeans, and the canola industr y is just scratching the surface.

Corn hybrids have been around since the 1940s, compared to only the last 10 years for canola. There is a big opportunity to keep developing better inbred parent lines.

Delage is confident farmers will be averaging 70 to 80 bu. per acre in the next 10 to 20 years.

He said the outlook for wheat is grim by comparison. Little breeding advancement has been made

DAVID SCHRITT PHOTO

in decades, which means yield improvements have been driven by agronomy rather than germplasm.

“I can get almost the same yields from varieties that are now 20 years old that I can from the newest varieties,” said Delage.

“It has been very disappointing, in my opinion, in terms of where plant breeding has taken us over the last three years.”

He is encouraged by recent announcements of private sector investment in the crop in Western Canada. “(Wheat yields) need to move up another 25 to 30 percent,” he said.

“At the moment we grow wheat because it’s an important rotational crop.”

ABIC | WHEAT

Australian researchers turn wheat breeding upside down Low protein cultivars for baking | Researchers believe new experimental lines will allow for big yield gains CALGARY — Australian researchers are using genomics to eliminate the need to produce high protein wheat and to increase the crop’s yields by as much as 50 percent.

Robert Henr y, director of the Queensland Alliance for Agriculture and Food Innovation, expects the research to result in new varieties that will be commercialized within the next five to 10 years.

Bakers have traditionally required high protein wheat to give loaves their volume, but Henry’s team thinks it can accomplish that using low protein varieties.

“Not all the protein in wheat is functional. Some of that protein is contributing to good bread quality and some of it is not doing much at all,” he said.

“What we really need to be able to do is redesign the wheat so that a higher proportion of the proteins are actually functional.”

His team has identified proteins that can do just that, which means farmers will be able to produce quality wheat with fewer inputs.

“The amount of nitrogen that we’d have to use as inputs to produce the wheat would be significantly reduced,” Henry said in an interview following a presentation he gave at the Agricultural Biotechnology International Conference 2013.

“The advantage here is enormous in terms of sustainability.”

It’s not pie-in-the-sky science.

Researchers in Australia are conducting baking experiments with

ROBERT HENRY RESEARCHER

flour produced from experimental lines.

The same technology is being used in an effort to significantly increase yields in a crop that has failed to keep pace with corn and soybeans.

“We believe we can push wheat yields up, maybe as much as 50 percent, in a relatively short period of time,” said Henry.

Existing varieties already deliver those

kinds of yields, but they haven’t been commercialized because they lack the necessary quality characteristics.

“It has particularly been true here in Canada that there’s been a real constraint on yield improvement in wheat because you have imposed on yourselves, as we have in Australia, very high standards in terms of the quality of the product,” he said.

Henry has spoken to breeders who say they have wheat lines in their breeding programs that yield up to 50 percent more than varieties on the market.

“That’s a big gain. If we can get even part of that through these strategies, it’s really closing the gap between what you can get in a trial and what you can get in a farmer’s field,” he said.

“We hope with a fairly small number of genes we can add end-use quality into wheat.”

The varieties produced using genomics techniques would not be genetically modified, so if the research is successful they could get to market within five years to a decade.

“I don’t think this has to be very far off at all,” said Henry.

“I’m sure it will happen worldwide as the knowledge of this gains.”

He said it is high time that the wheat industry embraced some of these radical approaches to boosting yields because the crop is rapidly becoming uncompetitive.

CANOLA | PRICE OUTLOOK

Canola volume pressures prices Bear market | Traditional oil premium disappears

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Canola oil is heart healthy, has excellent cooking functionality and offers wonderful processing characteristics.

None of that will likely matter much this winter as canola oil deals with a surplus in Western Canada, analysts say.

“It’s finding its way as a soy oil substitute,” Greg Kostal of Kostal Consulting said about canola oil’s marketing outlook for 2013-14.

“That’s not price bullish, but at least you’re moving volume. And when you have big canola crops, you need that type of displacement demand.”

The last two years have radically up-ended the traditional relationships between canola and soybeans and soy oil and canola oil. Canola has traditionally been priced at a premium to soybeans because canola has a much higher oil content than soybeans and oil is a higher valued component. As well, canola oil is generally considered a more healthy oil so it usually carries a market premium.

However, U.S. and South American soybean crops have hit production problems in the last three years, and the resulting shortages have meant soybeans were often the hot commodity and canola the dog chasing its heels.

Canola oil is now discounted compared to soy oil in many markets including Europe, and in North America, soybeans are priced at a big premium to canola.

Nearby canola futures are pricing canola at less than $11 per bushel and nearby soybean futures at more than $13 per bu. Low protein meal supplies in the livestock-heavy U.S. Midwest market are the main culprit.

Canola’s meal component is not only smaller than soybeans, but livestock feeders almost always dis-

count the meal.

The oil offers little opportunity for canola to regain its premium or even close the gap because soy oil supplies are also low inside North America while canola oil is not.

“For the extra demand it needs to flush out supplies, it has to compete,” said Jon Driedger of FarmLink Marketing Solutions.

In North America, that means lower canola oil prices than soy oil prices. On the world market, it means discounted canola oil prices versus the glut of competing oilseeds, including palm, cotton, sunflower, and coconut.

“There’s a lot of oil out there and a lot of oilseeds, and that’s an adjustment from where we’ve been for the last couple of years,” said Driedger, acknowledging that prairie farmers might have trouble accepting the notion that canola can’t independently force higher prices.

Kostal said palm oil is easy to find and other oilseed crops are aggressively competing for sales.

“You’ve got sunflowers that are cheaper than canola,” said Kostal.

“Canola’s not flowing fluidly into Pakistan and United Arab Emirates.”

He said canola will need to buy biodiesel demand over the winter and rely less on exports to China for growth. Displacing soy oil sales with lower canola prices doesn’t give canola oil bargaining power.

“It’ll have to expand its demand base with price as the weapon,” said Kostal.

Driedger said canola oil marketers will focus on clearing big supplies rather than squeezing buyers for better prices. It will help move the crop but doesn’t lead to the development of long-term demand.

“It’s demand that’s bought. It’s demand that’s there because canola is cheap,” said Driedger.

The situation could get worse in

That will probably give the world market a more comfortable supply of soybean meal and soy oil and allow North American buyers to import

cheaper supplies.

Rich Nelson of Allendale, Inc. is bullish for soybean and soybean meal prices for the fall and winter but doesn’t expect a significant improvement in oil prices.

“Vegetable oil will not be having any major gains,” said Nelson. “I just think it will trade sideways for the next three months, then sharply lower into the spring once the oilseed products also join in the lower prices.”

CANOLA EXPORTS | CHINA

China allows crushers to import Russian rapeseed through border city BEIJING (Reuters) — Canadian canola will face new competition in China now that the Chinese government is allowing Russian imports.

A Chinese government authority said crushers can now import rapeseed from Russia through a border city in a move to help meet robust domestic demand for the oilseed.

Some 200,000 tonnes of rapeseed

are expected to be imported this year via the inland city of Manzhouli, bordering Russia and China’s Inner Mongolia region, the Manzhouli government said.

China previously allowed imports of canola-rapeseed from only three countries: Canada, Australia and Mongolia. China is the top buyer of canola from Canada, the world’s top exporter.

Greater Chinese rapeseed imports from Russia on a sustained basis may also curb the growth of soybean purchases, but there is little chance of that happening in the near future because total rapeseed imports are far smaller than soy imports.

Manzhouli said the approval will benefit local farmers, more of whom are going to Russia to grow rapeseed

and other crops.

China is expanding its farming interests beyond its borders to ensure sufficient food supplies because of limited land as the country urbanizes.

Domestic rapeseed production in China is unable to meet demand from crushers, who process the oilseed into edible oil and meal.

China’s rapeseed imports in 201314 are expected to hit a record 3.59 million tonnes, up 54 percent from 2012-13 but still far below its annual crushing capacity, which has hit six million tonnes per year this year, according to the China National Grain and Oils Information Centre.

BRAZILIAN SOYBEAN STATS

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

CALGARY — The completion of a major highway project in Brazil will pave the way for an additional 40 million acres of soybean production in just one state, says a big producer of the crop.

Guilherme Scheffer, partner in Group Scheffer, a 230,000 acre farm located near Cuiaba in the state of Mato Grosso, said the road project will drastically reduce the cost of getting soybeans to export position.

The state produces 20 million acres of soybeans a year, or 30 percent of Brazil’s total production of the oilseed.

The vast majority of soybeans produced in Mato Grosso are exported from ports in southern Brazil. The 2,000 kilometre journey to the ports costs farmers an average of $150 per tonne.

Work is underway on highway BR-163, a 4,500 km road that connects Mato Grosso to Santarem, a port on the Amazon River. The revamped road will provide growers with vastly improved access to ports in northern Brazil.

The transportation bill for Mato Grosso’s soybean farmers is expected to be reduced by $50 per tonne once paving of the highway is complete and bridges have been built or repaired.

“That is substantial,” Scheffer said during an interview following a presentation at the Agricultural Biotechnology International Conference 2013.

Farms in the state produce four tonnes of soybeans per acre, so the total savings would amount to $200 per acre.

“Sometimes the profit is ($120 to $160 per acre), so it’s amazing.”

“The only thing I know is we’ll be more competitive than we are today,” said Scheffer.

The soybeans will be shipped into markets such as China, Indonesia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Norway, Switzerland and Sweden.

Scheffer said soybean trucks are already using the road, but it is a hazardous journey. Trucks repeatedly break down or become bogged down in the mud.

As well, only two buyers compete for product in the northern ports, so the savings have yet to materialize.

However, Mato Grosso farmers will see increased competition and cost savings when more soybeans start flowing to those ports.

SWEEPERS

WE’RE BUYING

Feed Grains Eighteen companies have been contracted to pave the highway, and an estimated 70 percent of the road is ready for asphalt. Highway BR-163 should be fully paved within two to three years.

He anticipates the highway project will lead to the conversion of 40 million acres of pastureland into soybean production in the state of Mato Grosso.

To put that in perspective, farmers grew about 71 million acres of the crop in Brazil last year.

Scheffer said it’s only a matter of time before all that pastureland is growing soybeans.

“In the next seven years for sure it

will be converted. For sure,” he said.

The only way it won’t happen is if Chicago soybean prices fall to $10 to $11 per bushel and stay there for a couple of years.

S cheffer said the conversion would still leave 22 million acres of pastureland in the state, land that is unsuitable for conversion into crop production.

Adding 40 million acres of soybeans in one state in Brazil over the next seven years will obviously affect world oilseed markets.

The magnitude of the impact is yet to be determined because it will depend on what happens with soybean demand in the coming years.

Speedy GM approvals benefit Brazil

Big wheat crop vies with U.S. for export sales

GM traits | Brazil’s market share is expanding due to faster approval times, says Syngenta official

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

CALGARY — Brazil is gaining market share in global grain markets at the expense of the United States because of faster approval times for genetically modified crops, say seed technology companies.

“It’s an example of doing it right,” David Morgan, North America regional director for Syngenta Seeds, told the Agricultural Biotechnology International Conference 2013.

“They’ve made huge leaps in agricultural exports because of their efficient biotechnology approval.”

Brazil has approved 23 new GM varieties in the past five years.

“The U.S. government has eked out only seven in the same time frame,” said Morgan.

Syngenta’s products are increasingly getting approval in Brazil before the U.S. “Is it really a surprise that Brazil’s share of the agriculture export market has doubled in the last decade from five to nine percent?” he said.

Eric Sachs, regulatory scientific and policy lead for Monsanto, said average approval times that were once eight years in Brazil have dropped to one year.

It’s the opposite in the U.S., where approval times have risen to three years, almost triple what they used to be. Meanwhile, the list of products awaiting approval is rising.

The amount of biotech products in the research and development pipeline slated for approval between 2011 and 2020 exceeds all of the products that received approval before 2011. And yet approval times have more than doubled in the U.S. “That’s a hurdle. That’s a real barrier that we face every day as we try and bring new technologies to the market,” said Sachs.

Anti-GM groups have successfully sued the U.S. Department of Agriculture for not taking a hard enough look

In Brazil, 23 new GM varieties have been approved in the past five years, much more than North American regulators have allowed. | FILE PHOTO at data supplied by seed technology companies.

To avoid more lawsuits, the USDA is requesting more data from seed developers and spending more time scrutinizing the data. In some cases, it has conducted lengthy environmental impact statements.

“Part of what USDA is doing is trying to make a decision that will stand and be defensible in the face of the attacks that they’re facing,” said Sachs.

In Brazil, there is the political will to speed approval times.

“I would say there is probably much more emphasis on the issue of growing their agriculture sector in Brazil than perhaps the U.S. The U.S. has got more distractions,” said Sachs.

The result is that Brazilian farmers have access to the latest technology, leading to improved yields and more crops available for export.

Sachs said there is a growing recog-

nition within the USDA that the status quo is unsustainable.

“They acknowledge that their process has gotten longer than they’re satisfied with, and so they have been putting a lot of effort to make their decisions faster,” he said.

Approval times fell in 2012, which Sachs said is an encouraging sign.

Seed developers see Canada in a favourable light. It takes an average of 20 months to get approval to cultivate a GM crop in Canada, which is two to three times shorter than the average time in the European Union and China.

China is a particularly frustrating market for seed technology companies. Morgan said the government uses its regulatory system as a political or economic weapon.

Syngenta’s Agrisure Viptera trait has been approved in most of the world’s major markets except China,

where the dossier has sat for two years with little to no progress.

“Something strange and something wrong there,” said Morgan.

Sachs hopes a new technology that companies are using to create powerful microbials will avoid the headaches experienced in the GM crop approval process.

RNA interference uses RNA molecules to target specific genes in pests that wipe out the bugs without harming crops or beneficial organisms.

“Because we’re applying them topically and we’re not using GM techniques, we’re hopeful that they’ll go through a regulatory path that is shorter in getting that technology to the farmer and to society quicker,” said Sachs.

The average time to get a microbial product approved is 18 months to two years compared to three years or more for GM crops.

LOCAL FOOD | SAFETY

Government can educate small food processors HEDGE ROW

ED WHITE

P

rovincial governments might need to hire extension officers if they want to protect and build a bustling new market for small farmers.

That’s because recent problems with small-scale, artisanal and local food production highlight the dangers that lie just under the surface for a developing market that relies mostly on trust, faith and belief.

The new generation of local-smallartisanal producers might not be as informed about food safety require-

ments and regulations as processors focused on the large commercial market.

The Manitoba government recently seized and destroyed meat that had been dried and cured on a small farm, only months after the agriculture department recognized the farm’s prosciutto with an award.

Critics are outraged, charging the provincial government as highhanded and hypocritical. However, the real problem seems to be the gap that exists between the province’s robust promotion of the local food movement and its rigorous application of food safety requirements.

I t ’s e a s y t o s e e h o w s m a l l , untrained would-be food makers could have had trouble developing their specialty product with provincial government encouragement but never quite realizing what they needed to do to ensure their product would be safe.

Food safety experts have told me

the process the farm used to produce the meat could have created health dangers.

Commercial-scale food processors, even small locker plant operators, are familiar with food safety rules and understand what inspectors require.

However, the new wave of small farm processors of specialty products are far less sophisticated. They might not “get” what they need to do without someone leading them through it.

It appears some Manitoba Agriculture employees tried to help and worked with them for a couple of years, but there’s probably a need for a handful of dedicated extension officers to work with farmers through the food development and manufacturing process so they don’t slip through the cracks.

It’s hard to find money for extra bodies in already cash-strapped provincial agriculture departments.

However, creating extension officers could be the link in the chain that ties the whole thing together if governments are committed to developing the local farm-to-consumer market and develop on-farm artisanal products.

It’d be an easy market to lose. Food improperly prepared can be lethal, and urban consumers who now embrace local and artisanal food would flee if people started dying from eating it.

The local food market, a key opportunity for small farmers near Western Canada’s cities, can’t handle too many disasters like the death and disease that came out of a British Columbia farm that was making raw milk cheese.

Governments have a chance to jump on a problem, fix it and create the conditions for a market that will offer farmers what they need to build a future different from bulk commodity production.

WINNIPEG (Reuters) — Canada’s biggest wheat crop in more than two decades will send supplies into unusual places, grain traders say, battling head on with U.S. wheat.

Early harvest results show production might top Statistics Canada’s August prediction of a 30.6 million tonne wheat and durum crop.

Nearly two-thirds of the crop is destined for export, according to Agriculture Canada.

Such ample supplies and expectations of lower-than-usual protein levels have created attractive prices for buyers, said Rhyl Doyle, director of export cereals for Paterson Grain.

“These kind of prices and protein profile will give us the tools to put it into a lot of places,” he said.

“If the price is right, that’s the key, and our farmers are sellers.”

Canada is the world’s second-biggest producer of spring wheat and the No. 2 producer of durum.

Canada Western Red Spring wheat with 12 percent protein was available last week at British Columbia ports for $283 per tonne, which is 10 percent or $30 per tonne cheaper than U.S. hard red winter wheat with the same protein at the Gulf of Mexico, Doyle said.

“The Canadian prices will push Canadian wheat into a lot of hard red winter markets, even where you have a substantial freight disadvantage (from Canada),” Doyle said.

Mid-range protein wheat from Canada and the United States will vie for sales, particularly in Latin America and Africa, he said. This year, Canada looks to have smaller-thanusual supplies of high protein wheat (higher than 13 percent), which usually moves into Western Europe and Asia, but there should be enough 13 percent protein wheat for Japan to make bread and noodles, Doyle said.

Canadian wheat was also competing in traditional U.S. territory last year, such as in the Philippines, said Todd Ross, director of trading for Lansing Olam Canada. It’s likely a reflection of the move to an open western Canadian grain market last year, similar to what happened in Australia after 2008, he said.

“When it was an open market, everybody went to find a place that was different and a margin could be gained,” Ross said.

“We’re going to do the same thing here.”

Wheat importers such as Iraq, Iran and Saudi Arabia may also buy Canadian spring wheat to blend with lower-quality supplies from Europe or the Black Sea region, said a Canadian grain exporter.

Last year, CWRS wheat averaged 13.9 percent protein, up from 13.1 in 2011 and 13.4 in 2010, according to the Canadian Grain Commission.

Canada is not the only exporter with big wheat supplies. Wheat also looks ample in the Black Sea region and Australia.

“This will be a buyer’s market, and the sellers are going to have to get very creative,” the wheat exporter said.

U.S. wheat exports are off to a torrid pace. Exporters shipped more wheat for the week that ended Sept. 12 than any time in at least the past 23 years.

Most went to China and Brazil.

SPRING WHEAT | PROTEIN

WP LIVESTOCK REPORT

Few high protein premiums

HOG PRICE STEADY

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

It’s a good year to have high protein wheat.

With a big crop of low protein spring wheat being harvested, farmers who have good protein levels won’t face the discounts most wheat growers are facing.

However, they won’t be getting many true premiums.

“The discounts for delivering low protein have widened a lot,” said Jon Driedger of FarmLink Marketing Solutions. “We have lots of bushels of low protein.”

Driedger said farmers aren’t getting many premiums for wheat with protein levels higher than 13.5 percent, but discounts are often 30 cents per bushel per percentage point for protein lower than 13.5 percent. A few

weeks ago the discount was only 10 to 20 cents.

Farmers are harvesting big crops of spring wheat in the northern U.S. Great Plains and on the Canadian Prairies, but there are widespread reports of lower than average protein levels. That should make protein a valued commodity.

“Last year there was almost no premium because everyone had skyhigh protein,” said Driedger.

However, farmers with high protein wheat are having trouble getting a premium because the world has lots of wheat. Buyers don’t need to chase high-protein wheat, although they are happy to accept it.

“There certainly is the need for high protein product,” said Rich Nelson of Allendale, Inc. “We’re hearing of great yields but low protein content.”

Cash hogs traded steady to $1 lower across the U.S. Midwest early Sept. 20 as supplies continued to tighten.

Speculation continued that tightening supply was due to herd culling after porcine epidemic diarrhea virus outbreaks on some farms.

Supply tightening was also seen after the industry cut back the use of Paylean, a feed additive that boosts hog weights as the animals near slaughter, market sources said.

Iowa-southern Minnesota hogs traded steady at $72 US per hundredweight delivered to packing plants.

The estimated pork cut-out value was $100.26 Sept. 20, up from $98.16 Sept. 13.

Estimated weekly U.S. slaughter to Sept. 20 was 2.15 million, down from 2.17 million the previous week. Last year’s total was 2.16 million.

BISON STEADY The Canadian Bison Association said Grade A bulls in the desirable weight range averaged $3.50 Cdn per pound hot hanging weight with sales to $3.70.

Grade A heifers sold at $3.45 with sales to $3.55.

Animals older than 30 months and those outside the desirable buyer specifications may be discounted.

Front-end packer supplies have increased in recent weeks and feedlot inventories are current. However, some cattle on the show list had to be marketed.

Light trade was reported. Almost all trade was railgrade at $197 per cwt. delivered.

The Alberta-Nebraska cash to cash basis has ranged from -$8 to -$10 over the past three weeks, which is much stronger than the historical basis of -$11.44.

Ample fed supplies have been reported in the U.S. Midwest, and given the stronger Canadian dollar, it was surprising to see U.S. packers inquiring this week.

Light volumes of western Canadian fed cattle traded on a negotiated basis to the United States.

The Alberta fed cash to futures basis weakened to close the week at -$11.25.

Canadian fed exports to the U.S. for the week ending Sept. 7 totalled 6,913, up 33 percent from the previous week.

Fed exports had not been this large since the beginning of June.

Prices are anticipated to gradually drift lower into October, and cash leverage will continue to be limited.

Beef demand continues sluggish and packers will continue to manage kills to keep the pipeline lean.

U.S. for the week ending Sept. 7 were five percent smaller than the previous week at 6,796 and 77 percent larger than the same time last year at 242,712 head.

Central Alberta is now focused on harvest, and non-fed marketings are anticipated to be modest again next week.

American buyer interest continues to be supportive, and non-fed prices next week should remain mostly steady.

BEEF DOWN Choice and Select were down 84 cents US cwt. and 34 cents per cwt., respectively, narrowing the ChoiceSelect spread to $16.11 compared to $16.61 the previous week.

Middle meat stabilized following last week’s losses with ribs up 38-62 cents per cwt. and loins up 60 cents on Choice and down 11 cents on Select.

The market is expecting stronger

demand for chucks and rounds moving into fall, and prices remain fairly steady this week with Choice items down 44 cents-$1.46 per cwt. and Select up 7-22 cents per cwt.

Trim values moved significantly lower with 73 percent trims down $5.31 per cwt. and 50 percent down $7.25 per cwt.

Weekly volumes totalled 830 loads, down 16 percent from last week.

Canadian cut-out values for the

week ending Sept. 13 are unavailable.

Montreal wholesale price remains steady at $224-$225 per cwt.

FEEDER PRICES PRESSURED Steer calf prices fell following the previous week’s price surge, while heifer calf prices continued to trend higher.

Middleweight feeders traded mostly steady, while heavy feeders saw prices generally $1-$2 per cwt. lower than the previous week.

Alberta auction volumes of 26,618 head were 56 percent smaller than the previous week, but were equal to the same week last year.

Canadian feeder exports were 60 percent higher than the previous week at 4,756 head, the largest weekly feeder export volume since the second week of May 2013.

Feeder exports are 74 percent larger than last year at this time at 183,661 head.

Steer prices are anticipated steady this week while heifer prices may firm slightly higher to narrow the steer-heifer price spread.

Calf prices have begun to stabilize on good quality and a larger offering.

COWS STEADY

FEW CATTLE ON FEED

Rail cow prices held mostly steady, ranging from $148-$153 delivered, while butcher bull prices slipped $1.86 per cwt. to an average of $87.19 per cwt.

D1, 2 slaughter cow prices continued mostly steady, while D3 cows eased 50 cents per cwt. lower.

Average slaughter cow prices were $3-$4 per cwt. higher than the same week last year.

Western Canadian non-fed slaughter for the week ending Sept. 14 was 5,929 head, 41 percent larger than the previous week.

Year-to-date, western non-fed slaughter for the same week was 15 percent larger at 231,777.

Canadian non-fed exports to the

United States cattle on feed on Sept. 1 were 9.876 million, down seven percent from last year and four percent lower than the five year average.

Placement patterns will be the big driver in cattle markets as weather and pasture conditions improve in the U.S. August placements were 1.79 million head, down 11 percent from last year and the lowest for the month since reporting began in 1996.

Placements were down in all of the weight categories, and were down in all the major feeding regions.

Marketings were down four percent from a year earlier, but were still the second lowest for the month since reporting began.

COUNTRY-OF-ORIGIN LABELLING | INJUNCTION DECISION

CRAIG’S VIEW

Designing COOL to protect livestock sector backfires

C

anada has been fighting the U.S. country-of-origin labelling rule since it was announced five years

ago.

In the seemingly tortuous way that U.S. legislation progresses, COOL was implemented in March 2009 with an “education period” that will end in November. After that, penalties will be assessed against U.S. packers and retailers for non-compliance.

A U.S. district court judge’s decision not to grant an injunction that would at least temporarily halt full implementation is the latest battle lost. The judge ruled that a coalition of meat and livestock groups, including several from Canada, failed to prove COOL would cause irreparable harm to the industry.

But the war continues, with an appeal of the injunction ruling, a soon-to-be established panel at the World Trade Organization and continued efforts by American livestock production and packing interests to alter COOL legislation at the government level.

COOL has done severe damage to Canadian livestock industries, and according to U.S. livestock and meat interests, it hasn’t done any favours there either.

Yet the U.S. government continues to push it forward, on the basis that American consumers want to know where animals were born, raised and slaughtered.

Except they don’t.

Given the controversy associated with COOL from its inception, numerous studies on its effectiveness have been undertaken. They show the legislation hasn’t had its intended result.

One from the University of Kansas found that COOL has had no effect on consumer demand and most consumers aren’t aware of the labelling legislation and don’t look for meat origin information.

“Given the costs of compliance introduced by (mandatory) COOL and no evidence of increased demand for covered products, results suggest an aggregate economic loss for the U.S. meat and livestock supply chain spanning from producers to consumers,” researcher Glynn Tonsor concluded.

It’s surprising, given those findings and the predictions of livestock production and processing interests, that the judge last week did not accept the assertion of irreparable harm to the industry.

The damage already done to the Canadian industry was not her concern, but damage to American interests seems a virtual certainty. A major Texas plant closed in January, and other processors are running below capacity because of cattle shortages and a reluctance to implement labelling in imported cattle. Smaller U.S. packing plants may also close when new labelling expenses take their toll.

There are a couple of truths here that need widespread attention.

One is that the livestock industry has become integrated and North American in scope, with similar production methods, processing techniques and safety regulations.

The other is that consumers should have access to information about their food and its origins if they want it. A single mandatory label for all meat processed in the United States could accomplish that.

So could voluntary labelling, which would allow businesses to differentiate themselves if they chose.

However, an onerous and potentially confusing system of labels, does not serve consumers or the industry well.

Perhaps the whole scenario is as the U.S. Farm Foundation states: “The quagmire of COOL rules have significantly blurred the distinction between consumer interest and protectionism.”

In fact, protectionism, in the form of discrimination against imported livestock, was the basis for Canada’s victory at the WTO level when it objected to COOL. The same objection applies to the revised version, which will be considered at the WTO level in coming months.

The war against COOL continues, as it should, because it’s no longer about American consumer choice. Maybe it never was. It’s about protectionism.

TRADE DEALS | NEGOTIATIONS

Heavy investment of time and reputation threatens deal-at-any-cost mentality NATIONAL VIEW

BARRY WILSON

T

here are two solitudes in the arcane world of trade negotiations and trade deals.

At the political level and sometimes in history books, trade deals are the stuff of grand dreams, political successes and economic evolution.

And of course, when there is a deal there are sweeping announcements and congratulations all around (except of course for those who think

trade deals are the devil’s work).

Then there is the other side, the behind-the-scenes work where these things are accomplished.

There is little grandiose or exciting in the day-to-day, locked in a room in Ottawa or Brussels or Geneva for days on end, trying to balance the lack of concessions being offered by the other side with constant instructions from the political and bureaucratic bosses back home to make some progress.

Detailed trade negotiations are mundane, grinding, tiring and mired in minutiae too obscure for the average mind to grasp, hardly appearing to be history in the making.

Oh, and they can be long, very long.

World Trade Organization talks have been going on intermittently for 12 years. The last deal took seven

years, many of them intensive.

Talks between Canada and the European Union are several years deep.

Trans-Pacific Partnership talks are in early days and with the number of countries involved, can be expected to last for years.

In all of these, success is never guaranteed and yet negotiators invest enormous amounts of time.

So it is an interesting political phenomenon that many politicians, governments and trade bureaucrats invest so much of their credibility in trade talks and usually sound so optimistic about the process.

A deal is possible and the final threads are being sewn together, they whisper to reporters or lobbyists who sometime hype it even more.

Progress is being made at the WTO,

Geneva officials say, when many trade watchers see little but quagmire and a 2001 mandate that the world economy largely has passed by.

TPP talks that Canada joined this year are on track to be finished by the end of the year or early next year, a Canadian trade official told a conference this year, even though the 12 countries involved are dealing with incredibly sensitive issues and conflicting ambitions.

Maybe all this optimism and promise will come true, confounding the world.

Maybe political leaders will see opportunity and begin to make the political compromises necessary to seal the deal — more Canadian beef to Europe in exchange for increased dairy access to Canada, for example.

It is at that late stage in the negotia-

tions when they do get interesting, when it seems like history in the making. In 1993 in Geneva, ministers and negotiators staged exhausting allnight sessions for a week to eventually sign what many have since called a very flawed deal.

But they needed something and in the complex world of national economies and multi-lateral trading companies, the need for a deal — any deal — can be the enemy of a good deal.

Some times no deal is better.

However, for the Stephen Harper government, success in at least one of the major negotiations underway is widely considered to be crucial to bolster his government’s economic credibility before the 2015 election.

Maybe this time some of the hype will be justified, but don’t bet the farm on it.

Manitoba’s local food policy must improve

Student eager to learn about farming issues

BY COLIN ANDERSON

S

mall farm owners Pam and Clint Cavers had the surprise of their lives recently when Manitoba Agriculture staff showed up to seize and destroy their stock of locally produced and cured prosciutto.

Ironically, just months ago, the department had presented the Cavers with a $10,000 prize, naming their prosciutto the best new food product in the Great Manitoba Food Fight competition.

This incident highlights the need to scrutinize how government policy may be preventing family farmers from innovating, diversifying and meeting the growing consumer demand for local food.

Pam Cavers neatly summed up their experience with the department: “With one hand they giveth and the other they taketh away.”

Imagine this Kodak moment : Manitoba agriculture minister Ron Kostyshyn savouring Clint and Pam’s delicious prosciutto in front of a captive audience, celebrating local food and farmers at the Great Manitoba Food Fight.

Fast forward four months. The scene changes from that Kodak moment to a nightmare for the Caverses.

Two government inspectors arrive to deliver a $1,400 fine and seize and destroy $8,000 of a product the Caverses had poured their hearts into developing.

It’s not hard to see why Manitoba family farmers feel that policy toward local food is two-faced. Unfortunately, as dramatic as the raid at the Cavers farm is, this is not an isolated incident.

Government inspectors seized product from Pam and Clint Cavers’ farm saying it didn’t meet food safety guidelines. | COLIN ANDERSON PHOTO It is indicative of a much deeper problem: the marriage of government to industrial agriculture to the detriment of family farmers.

In my doctoral research, I interviewed farm families who sell their meat directly to consumers in Western Canada and the United States.

Most farmers wanted to expand and innovate but were frustrated and stymied by the many barriers they face.

Most often it was the lack of affordable and accessible processing facilities.

Some farmers I interviewed had considered establishing their own facilities, but the regulations are

geared toward large industrial plants, and the costs of compliance are too great to make business sense for smaller farmers and processors.

Many said that the existing regulations were open to interpretation, which they noted is a huge business risk. Everyone agrees that food safety regulations are important.

However, smaller farmers and processors want regulations to take into account the relative risk of different sized operations.

The most obvious reason for different regulations for smaller producers and processors is that the potential impact of an outbreak from the mega

processing plants is much greater.

Is the Manitoba government serious about local food? Many farmers say that, while front line Manitoba Agriculture staff people are helpful, they are woefully underfunded.

When it comes to photo ops and window dressing, the government program money is there. Just look at the government’s Buy Manitoba program. What was framed as an opportunity to help farmers develop local markets essentially ended up being a tool for large grocery chains to label products that were manufactured in Manitoba.

Thus, Manitoba Agriculture holds up small, family farms as the face of agriculture while providing minimal financial support and even undermining small farmers with one-sizefits-all regulation.

There is no doubt that the public is looking to tap into local food from Manitoba farmers.

However, incidents like the one at the Cavers farm effectively drive farmers underground, making it difficult for consumers to find authentic local food.

If we are serious about enabling Manitoba farmers of all sizes and types to meet the growing consumer interest in local food, we must demand that government works with farmers to create more appropriate programs and regulations.

CWB PRIVATIZATION | INVESTMENT STRATEGY

CWB privatization plan info low-key and unclear HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

S

ell grain through CWB in this crop year and you’ll receive a $5 per tonne equity interest in the organization after privatization.

Eventually, possibly and with no idea of what privatization will involve.

It’s very strange.

CWB called a news conference for Sept. 5 “to announce the first steps towards privatization.” The news conference was postponed with the promise of a new date to be announced in the near future.

Instead of a news conference, the $5 per tonne equity offering quietly appeared on the CWB website. Not prominently on the website, mind you. Not in the news releases or

announcements or anywhere to be found on the home page. Instead, you have to dig around in “About Us” to find it.

And the information is sketchy at best.

“The plan is subject to successful privatization and the CWB receiving all required legal, regulatory and governmental approvals.”

There’s even a separate disclosure document that lists the reasons why there can be no assurance that the equity interest will ever materialize.

In fairness, CWB does say it believes the equity interest will have value.

Why then would you just let information of the offering seep out?

Why not trumpet it in the hopes of driving business to the CWB? Of course, this methodology for farmer ownership will not be universally applauded. CWB assets should belong to all farmers who did business with the old wheat board. This equity offering applies only to farmers who do business this year and into the future.

The Marketing Freedom for Grain

Farmers Act mandates that the CWB present a plan for privatization to government by 2016, to be implemented by 2017.

The CWB says it wants to fast-track privatization plans and intends to beat that deadline.

Information is not available on just how much business the CWB attracted last crop year, but it’s difficult to believe its share of grain sales will increase in this second post-monopoly year. Yes, CWB is doing some business in canola and peas in addition to wheat and durum, but farmer interest appears to be fading.

In year one, lots of producers marketed some of their grain through CWB just to hedge their bets in the new marketing environment. Expect less of that this year.

Maybe the fast-track to privatization is to act before the CWB becomes completely irrelevant.

Although not on the website, CWB officials have made it clear that they intend to buy a network of grain handling assets, with money likely coming from an industry partner or partners.

Will that truly provide value for producers? Is the CWB brand so strong internationally and the C WB’s employees so well-connected and bright that they can buy grain handling assets and successfully compete against the existing, long-established players in the industry?

What assets would be available for a privatized CWB? How could a smattering of grain handling facilities provide access for farmers in all parts of the Prairies? How much control would farmers have in the new organization?

It really comes down to the big overriding question: without its monopoly, does the CWB have a useful role to play? It has good people who are working hard, but most farmers are still waiting to be convinced.

Will the $5 per tonne in potential equity attract your business? The tentative nature of this offering doesn’t help to instil confidence in the overall privatization plan.

EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

BY KRISTEN MCEWEN, REPORTER

First assignment enlightens budding journalist

F

or a girl who was born and raised in Saskatchewan, I know little about agriculture despite being surrounded by it my entire life.

My grandfather owned a farm near Quill Lake, Sask., when I was younger, and I remember running down the steps of the front porch to feed the pigs and sitting in the combine with him.

I’ve had friends who grew up on farms and teachers who help their spouses with har vest. Even my ancestors came to Saskatchewan to farm.

I want to know more about this industry that is so important to the province — and my heritage — and I can’t gain that knowledge through osmosis.

Currently, I am enrolled at the School of Journalism at the University of Regina. Journalism students are required to participate in at least one internship for the program.

When I spotted the internship for The Western Producer, I thought that the best way to learn about agriculture was to be completely immersed in it.

The great thing about the Producer is the fact that it explores all aspects of agriculture all over the world. It not only focuses on products and markets but also captures the livelihood of producers everywhere.

Considering the Producer strives “to be the best source of agricultural news and information,” I figured it would be the best place to start.

Daily journalism requires reporters to cover a wide range of topics — from city hall to business to court.

Becoming knowledgeable in agriculture just isn’t possible in a day.

I’m learning that agricultural stories don’t necessarily mean that they stem directly from stories that contain the words “crops” or “livestock.”

For example, my story this week at the Producer was about an endangered sage grouse species.

At first, I had no idea how an endangered bird would relate to agriculture. As it turned out, the protection order the federal government is announcing would pose restrictions on land.

This will not be the case for private and crown grazing land. Until I read that the order would not affect those lands, it hadn’t occurred to me that an order like that would have been a problem for producers.

It was an eye opener, one of many that I look forward to during my time here over the next three months.

CHECK ON INSURANCE To the Editor: Re: “Alberta mom heads campaign to educate public on AEDs (WP, Sept. 5).

This was a great article and certainly a worthwhile cause. However, rural community associations and agricultural societies need to check with their insurance providers first.

We were to install a unit in our very busy agricultural facility but were told by our insurer that they would cancel all coverage. Another local community installed the machine, only to have to remove it because of loss of insurance coverage by their insurer.

If the organization is large enough to have permanent staff, then it seems to be OK. Unfortunately, it’s the rural area where these AEDs (automatic external defibrillators) are most needed.

Ron Blain, Innisfail, Alta.

FIREARMS PRIVATE To the Editor: Firearms are private property.

Whether it’s bears, cougars, wolves, etc., farmers must protect their property and livestock. Licences and fees for firearms should be abolished as prior to 1995. It’s unlawful for “eastern snakes” to tell us how to live or what to own.

RCMP should keep their noses out of the firearms debate; no input from them, only politicians make laws.

LEADERS WITH SENSE To the Editor: Two Tory senators deny knowing of Wright-Duffy pact as three provinces call for abolition of red chamber.

“The senate’s time is up. It’s time for us to move forward,” Manitoba attorney general and justice minister Andrew Swan said in an interview, noting the province has long supported abolition.

It’s a position buoyed by the recent controversies.

“With all of the shenanigans of senators, I think you’d have a hard time finding many Manitobans who support retaining this outdated, outmoded, anti-democratic institution,“ he said.

Saskatchewan premier Brad Wall and Nova Scotia premier Darrell Dexter have also called for senate abolition.

Many Canadians, including myself, have for years been asking for the abolition of the very costly, appointed, ineffective Senate with no results.

Canadians have also been asking our MPs for a complete review and possible changes to our entire parlia-

mentary system of government and the end of costly, ineffective policies such as official bilingualism and equalization payments, but also with no results.

Finally, we see at least three leaders with good, economic sense representing the citizens.

OUR PRECIOUS RESOURCE To the Editor: Canada has more lakes than the rest of the world combined. Water is our most precious resource; the lifeblood of all living things. It just seems

we have so much fresh water in Canada that we don’t look after it as we know we should.

It is clear that governments have ignored the basic principles of water stewardship for too many years in the pursuit of narrow economic interests.

Lake Winnipeg has become a horrid reminder of devastation that we are leaving our children and their children to bear alone. Now Lake Erie has a sickness that has returned.

So many of our lakes have become diseased.

The name of this disease is human complacency.

FOOD SAFETY | CHEESE RECALL

CFIA investigates E. coli in Gort’s raw milk cheese

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

A recall on cheese from Gort’s Gouda Cheese Farm near Salmon Arm, B.C., was expanded Sept. 19 to include 15 products.

The Public Health Agency of Canada said the cheese is contaminated with E. coli O157:H7 and caused the death of one British Columbia resident. It is also connected to illnesses in another 14 people, four of them in B.C., eight in Alberta, one in Saskatchewan and one in Quebec.

The public health agency said all individuals got sick between midJuly and early September and most recovered within five to 10 days.

“There is currently no indication of widespread risk to Canadians,” the agency said in a news release.

“However, E. coli O157:H7 can pose a serious public health risk,” it said.

Provincial health agencies are cooperating in the investigation and recall.

Dr. Saqib Shahab, Saskatchewan’s chief medical health officer, announced the single case in that province Sept. 20.

“This product has not been sold in Saskatchewan and most of the people would have obtained it travelling through B.C. or by purchasing it at a limited number of online accounts that were primarily in B.C. and Alberta,” he said.

“This person (the Saskatchewan person who is ill) was travelling through B.C. and may have consumed the product there. The investigation is ongoing,” he said.

“We were notified because all the cases have a genetic fingerprint match.”

The person affected, a young adult, has since recovered, Shahab added.

In Alberta, chief medical officer James Talbot said Sept. 18 that two people in Edmonton and five in Calgary were made ill but not hospitalized. Ages ranged from three to 78.

The cheese recall was first issued Sept. 17 and applies to all sizes of cheese packages sold directly from the farm, through internet sales and

distributed to B.C. and Alberta retail stores between May 27 and Sept. 14.

Gort’s has voluntarily recalled its products and has stopped selling cheese at the farm.

It promised full co-operation with an ongoing investigation but refused further comment until results are known.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency inspected the farm Aug. 28, with no problems identified.

The CFIA also reported that Gort’s has had two recalls in the past: one in 2009 because of “non-satisfactory CFIA sampling” for staphylococcus and E. coli in cheese, and in 2012 for cream that didn’t meet the required temperature for pasteurization.

The cheese at issue was made with unpasteurized milk. The farm also sells pasteurized products including milk and yogurt.

“We express our concern and sorrow for those who may have been affected,” said Gort’s on its website.

Pasteurization kills E. coli bacteria and the case has raised questions about the safety of using unpasteurized milk in food production. However, the curing process in cheese making generally destroys harmful bacteria.

The CFIA and Health Canada require raw milk cheese to be stored for 60 days at 2 C or above. It is not yet known if the recalled Gort’s cheese met this requirement.

ounger people are making a change in how they conduct silent auctions. Kudos to them.

I was always uncomfortable with the old way of holding silent auctions. Items were laid out on a table with bid sheets beside each one. This style of fundraiser waited for one person to outbid the previous name on the sign-up sheet. In some cases it got quite competitive as a few people played one-upmanship with the others. In all cases, the person who offered the most money got to take the item home.

Recently, I witnessed a new way of holding such an auction.

Items were laid out on a table with the name of the donor and a suggested value. Beside each item was an envelope. People viewed the items and were given the opportunity to buy $4 tickets, as many or as few as they liked. The tickets were placed in the envelopes of choice. When the auction closed, one ticket was drawn from each envelope and that person received the prize.

This style of auction gives everyone an equal chance to participate, regardless of the size of their pocketbook and who else wants the same item. It made me think back to the way non-competitive games gradually became part of our youth activities.

This helped us think about different values, and therefore we saw how we could treat each other in different ways.

The Apostle Paul suggested we might become “fools for Christ’s sake.” Fools are seen to be those people who reflect a different perspective from others around them. In a world propelled by economic competition, a ticket auction makes the highest-bidder status irrelevant.

Dare we become fools in Christ’s name?

ALBERTA FLOODS | RECOVERY PROGRAMS

Farmers left in the dark on flood aid, eligibility Erosion, cleanup | Programs are available to move corrals and livestock buildings under the Growing Forward 2 program STORIES BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

LONGVIEW, Alta. — Shirley Pickering has been hauling water for home use on her rural acreage ever since late June floods inundated her water well along the Little Bow River.

So have many other farm and acreage dwellers southeast of High River, Alta., a region that sustained major damage in late June and is still in recovery mode.

“Our property is up on the escarpment, our buildings, but our water

well was in the valley, and it was severely impacted and contaminated,” said Pickering. “The ground water has been contaminated, not just at our well site but at many wells.”

Fecal E. coli is only one of the unwelcome contaminants in the water.

Shock treating the well yielded only temporary results. Pickering said the ground water itself is contaminated, and it could take four to six months to clear.

Worries over wells, septic fields and debris cleanup led Pickering to spearhead a Sept. 13 meeting in Longview,

where representatives from provincial and federal departments provided flood relief information.

Controversies over the lack of flood mapping and uncertainty over flood zone versus flood fringe have created confusion.

“There’s no guidelines on what they can or cannot do,” Pickering said about relocating septic fields, building berms and dealing with altered water courses.

“The other problem was all of the massive debris that washed down.

Everything from campers to dead

cows to trees and pieces of fence and kids’ toys, the whole gamut ended up in the valley. How do you deal with that massive amount of stuff that’s ended up on your property that isn’t yours?”

In Pickering’s region, landowners contacted the municipal district, which hired a contractor to collect, sort and dispose of debris.

Harvest has brought additional issues for farmers with land on both sides of the Little Bow, added Pickering. Every bridge between High River and Vulcan was destroyed.

Some farmers face lengthy trips to get from field to field, including use of Highway 2, Alberta’s busiest highway, to move their equipment.

Others are pulling their equipment through the river, which has its own risks and pitfalls.

Brad Andres, emergency program manager with Alberta Agriculture, said his department and others are working to find solutions to these largely rural problems.

“We haven’t done as good a job of communicating the disaster recovery program for agriculture as we have for homes and residences,” said Andres.

The key topics are erosion and loss of fences, though farmers are also pondering flood mitigation projects.

Few had homes along the affected rivers.

Andres said programs are already in place to assist those who want to move corrals or other livestockrelated structures, including several provincial programs and the federal Growing Forward 2.

His department can provide the necessary information, eligibility criteria and funding options.

Funding is available for those who are eligible. Kyle Fawcett, associate minister for recovery and reconstruction in southwestern Alberta, said there is a specific program for farmers affected by the floods.

“This is not a program that has a cap as far as the amount of money that is in it,” he said. “If someone’s eligible under the program and they make application, they will get covered for whatever they’re eligible for.”

Fawcett said he hasn’t heard much about agricultural damage, though many areas were certainly affected.

“A lot of agricultural and rural people, they just get up and do things, so I know a lot of them have just been going about getting their operations recovered.”

FLOOD AFTERMATH | EMOTIONAL RECOVERY

AG AND DISASTER RECOVERY

Seek support to cope with stress, grief: expert

The Alberta government has designated flood recovery assistance programs specific to agriculture.

They include:

LONGVIEW, Alta. — People affected by Alberta’s June floods struggle to recover even after media attention wanes and volunteers return to their usual routines.

The struggle can take an emotional toll.

“There’s various stages that people go through in that crisis model,” said family therapist Deborah Smillie of Alberta Health Services.

“The first needs are safety. Then it’s shock, then it’s like the honeymoon period where everyone comes in … and you’re overwhelmed at the generosity of the human spirit. And then people begin to get back to their lives.”

Smillie explained some of the psychology Sept. 13 at a Longview meeting designed to address the needs of farmers and ranchers during flood recovery.

Smillie said some people might feel rejected and impatient as rebuilding drags on, nearly three months after flood water ravaged southern Alberta.

“When people enter into that phase, it can really affect someone’s emotional and mental wellbeing,” she said.

“Because of the uniqueness of this particular event, people are experiencing that for longer periods of time because there is such unpredictability around the trajectory of

• Help to cover part of labour cost for cleanup but not for lost production, income or wages.

• Help to clean, repair and replace agricultural assets back to their basic function.

Eligibility • Farm or ranch must be an agricultural operation with yearly gross revenues of $6,000 to $15 million.

DEBORAH SMILLIE ALBERTA HEALTH SERVICES

• Must be an owner-operated enterprise in which 50 percent of the owners act as day to day managers.

Coverage • Repairs to facilities essential to farm operations that cannot be insured.

• Repairs to current site or relocation to area with same sized footprint.

• Repair and replacement of essential fences.

• Cleaning of contaminated well or costs of new well if needed.

when life is going to go back to the new normal.”

Smillie said she encourages flood victims to recognize the stress they’re under and take steps to get proper rest, nutrition and exercise.

Multi-tasking may become difficult because of the many demands to rebuild and potentially fewer resources with which to accomplish usual chores.

Drawing support from family, friends and community can help. If it isn’t enough, Alberta Health Services offers individual and family counseling services, grief and loss workshops and de-stressing workshops.

“Make sure you’re having fun,” Smillie said.

“Make sure you’re taking breaks to have some down time with the kids or the grandkids or the neighbours.”

She said independence and selfreliance are ingrained in the agricultural community, but that shouldn’t stop people from seeking assistance if it is needed.

BEES | INSECTICIDES

BAYER | INSECTICIDE

Ont. beekeepers want further restrictions

Seed lubricant shows potential

Neonicotinoid use | Ontario Beekeepers’ Associations calls for complete ban on neonicotinoids STORIES BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

The Ontario Beekeepers’ Association says proposed Health Canada guidelines don’t go far enough to protect bees from insecticides.

The Pest Management Regulatory Agency announced in mid-September that agricultural practices around the use of neonicotinoid seed treatments on corn and soybean seeds are “not sustainable.�

In a notice of intent, the PMRA said it intends to implement several measures to protect bees next year, including the use of seed lubricants that reduce the amount of insecticide-laden dust during planting.

However, Tibor Szabo, an OBA vice-president and a beekeeper from Moffat, Ont., said the PMRA measures won’t make a difference for bees or beekeepers despite the strong language and a list of specific protocols.

He said the PMRA recommendations address only the threat of contaminated seeding dust killing bees during spring planting.

The agency isn’t tackling the systemic risk to bees and the environment, he added. “This selective concentration on one aspect of the environmental mobility serves only to limit discus-

(Our) livelihoods are at stake and we’re in this big experiment to see if this stuff can be used safely.

TIBOR SZABO ONTARIO BEEKEEPERS’ ASSOCIATION

sion and the development of appropriate science-based policy and responsive programs,� Szabo said.

Consequently, the OBA is lobbying the Ontario and federal governments to ban neonicotinoids.

Szabo said the precautionary principle should apply because scientists don’t understand what neonicotinoids are doing to bees, soil and water. “Beekeepers are really tired of being involved in a test,� he said. “(Our) livelihoods are at stake and we’re in this big experiment to see if this stuff can be used safely.�

Peter Kevan, a professor of environmental biology at the University of Guelph and science advisory committee chair for Canpolin, a Canadian research network studying pollinators, said he supports the PRMA’s conclusion that something must be done to reduce the risk of insecticide laden dust at seeding time.

“The reason is, it certainly is a practice that is killing bees,� he said. “(And) we know very little of what it’s doing to the wild pollinators.�

In the notice of intent, the PMRA said it received a “significant number of pollinator mortality reports� from beekeepers in corn growing regions of Ontario and Quebec during the spring of 2012.

Subsequent testing showed that 70 percent of dead bee samples tested positive for neonicotinoid insecticides. Corn, soybean and canola growers in North America plant seed treated with neonicotinoids to protect the seed and immature plants from insects.

This spring, the PMRA received more reports of dead bees in corn and soybean growing areas in Ontario, Quebec and Manitoba. It concluded that “current agricultural practices related to the use of neonicotinoid treated corn and soybean seed are not sustainable.�

Kevan said the PMRA recom-

mendations are specific to the i s s u e of c o nta m inated du st at seeding time.

As for beekeeper concerns about systemic risks associated with neonicotinoids, Kevan said there are legitimate questions regarding how neonics are being used.

He said insecticides should be used in a limited and targeted manner rather than as a prophylactic. “The target is not corn. The targets are corn borers and root worms and things like that,â€? he said. “I think it is appropriate that one should have to show, as a grower, that you have a pest problem before you start applying harsh chemicals to the environment. A lot of farmers would disagree with that ‌ (because) their operations are too big.‌ The logistics are horrendous.â€?

As part of its protective measures, the PMRA said it plans to require “updated value information ‌ to support the continued need for neonicotinoid seed treatment on up to 100 percent of the corn seed and 50 percent of the soybean seed.â€?

Interested parties are encouraged to comment on the PMRA’s conclusions and recommendations for neonicotinoid seed treatments.

The deadline for written comments is Dec. 12.

Bayer CropScience released details of new seed treatment technology last week that, based on company data, reduces the amount of insecticide-laden dust when planting corn and soybeans.

Bayer said lab and field trials for a new seed lubricant indicate it is possible to dramatically reduce the amount of dust emitted from corn and soybean planters. “We were impressed by the success of this new fluency agent when we examined the field trial results,� said Paul Thiel, Bayer CropScience’s vicepresident of innovation and public affairs. “Although potential exposure from corn planting is relatively rare, cooperation among applicators, growers and beekeepers is a critical part of effective best management practices for seed treatment applications and important for pollinator health.�

Bayer’s new seed lubricant, or fluency agent, is made from a polyethylene wax. The new product would replace talc and graphite products that reduce friction and permit seeds to flow through planting equipment.

Lab tests indicate the new lubricant reduced dust and emissions by 90 percent compared to talc and 60 percent compared to graphite.

Bayer collaborated with growers and planter manufacturers this spring to conduct field trials on 40,000 acres in North America to test out the new product.

WHEAT RESEARCH | BREEDING ADVANCES

Publicly funded breeding delivers value: report Yield improvements exceed world average | Reduction in funding for public breeding programs reckless, says scientist

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Wheat yields on western Canadian farms have increased at an average rate of 1.4 percent per year since the early 1990s, says a study co-authored by a pair of Agriculture Canada scientists.

That rate of gain is well above the worldwide average of 1.16 percent per year, suggesting Canadian farmers have accrued greater gains in productivity than farmers in other parts of the world, thanks to the adoption of new production practices and the introduction of improved wheat cultivars, the majority of which were developed by Agriculture Canada scientists.

The report, which is due to be published in an upcoming edition of the Canadian Journal of Plant Science, provides evidence that Canada’s publicly funded wheat breeding programs have served farmers well over the past four decades, says Julian Thomas, a recently retired Agriculture Canada scientist who coauthored the report.

It also refutes the notion that Agriculture Canada scientists and Canadian wheat farmers have failed to keep pace with productivity gains realized elsewhere.

The report comes as Agriculture Canada pushes ahead with plans to end Ottawa’s role in the developing, testing and commercializing new wheat varieties and leave those functions to private sector seed companies.

“The productivity (of Canada’s public breeding programs) in terms of yield improvement has been as good or better than the world average and on-farm yields have been as good or better than the world average,” said Thomas.

“So I think Canadian farmers have been well served by public breeding programs and in my opinion, there is no secure replacement.”

The report, entitled Rates of Yield Gain of Hard Red Spring Wheat in Western Canada, used yield data from Manitoba crop insurance and Statistics Canada to determine yield gains on western Canadian farms.

It concluded that on-farm yields across the Prairies rose at an average rate of 1.4 percent per year between 1991 and 2012.

The report also used data contained in provincial seed guides to examine yield gains in controlled plots that used standardized production practices to compare the performance of new wheat cultivars to check varieties.

The performance of new wheat cultivars was assessed during two periods: 1972-90 and 1991-2012.

Those periods were chosen because investments in breeding increased substantially in the early 1990s with the introduction of a wheat research checkoff that allowed public breeding programs to hire new research staff, buy additional facilities and acquire new machinery.

Wheat yields in controlled plots rose by .33 percent per year in the period before the checkoff.

However, yields after 1991 rose by .67 percent, slightly higher than the world average of .62 percent per year.

“The joint increase in yield and in the number of recommended cultivars suggests that sustained yield gain was associated with intensified breeding activity,” the report stated.

Thomas said the study supports the argument that a reduction in funding for public breeding programs will have a negative impact on farm profitability. It also refutes opinions expressed in the farm media and by others that yield gains realized in Canada are lagging.

“Opinions published in the farming press that rates of yield gain

So I think Canadian farmers have been well served by public breeding programs and in my opinion, there is no secure replacement.

presented here,” the report said.

Thomas is one of several Agriculture Canada scientists who retired earlier this year from Agriculture Canada’s Cereal Research Centre in Winnipeg.

Ottawa announced last year that the centre will close as part of a government effort to reduce spending.

Since that announcement, a number of prominent Agriculture Canada scientists, including respected wheat breeders Stephen Fox and Danny Singh have left to pursue opportunities in the private sector.

Thomas called Ottawa’s decision to reduce its involvement in public wheat breeding shortsighted, suggesting it will have costly repercussions for farmers in Western Canada.

“They (the Harper government) do have the right to do this … they were elected, after all, but whether or not it was ill-advised is another matter,” he said. “It’s not that I am opposed to private breeding,” he added. “I simply feel that the transition (from a public funding model to a private model) should have been more gradual and more secure.”

Questions raised over future of GM patents Generic GM crops coming | Industry must prepare to manage GM traits once patent protections are removed STORIES BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

CALGARY — Genetically modified crops are about to enter the postpatent era, which poses big challenges, says a seed technology company.

The first GM crops were grown commercially in 1995. That is nearly 20 years ago, which is the usual life cycle of a patent.

It means a lot of traits are going to be coming off patent over the next few years, and companies will be entering the market with generic traits,

much like what has happened in the agriculture chemical business.

“This is an important thing to begin thinking about,” said David Morgan, North American regional director for Syngenta Seeds Inc. He told the Agricultural Biotechnology International Conference 2013 that there are issues that need to be resolved that have implications for the companies bringing generic traits to market and the farmers who grow the crops.

“How do we maintain the rigorous stewardship protocols that we’ve established in recent years when

there are companies that will come in that really don’t have quite the same degree of belief that they need to be involved in this type of regime?” said Morgan.

The big seed technology companies have worked with government regulators to develop protocols to guard against resistance problems and the out-crossing of GM crops.

For instance, refuge strips have been established for B.t. corn crops to prevent insect resistance to the trait.

“We’re not suggesting that (stewardship) is going to crash as soon as

there’s new entrants to the market, but they have to have the same obligations on the one hand and the willingness and wherewithal to do it,” said Morgan.

That’s a concern for Martin Meinert, president of the Saskatchewan Organic Directorate.

“The less stringent controls are, the more issues there’s going to be,” he said.

A Washington state farmer recently had a load of non-GM alfalfa rejected for export because it contained trace amounts of Monsanto’s Roundup Ready GM alfalfa.

“We don’t think the controls are that great as it is, but when it goes generic and there is less controls, there’s even more issues,” said Meinert. “It’s very much a concern for organics.”

Morgan said another challenge for the agriculture industry in the postpatent era is what will happen with regulatory approvals of traits when the originator abandons them in the face of competition from generic firms.

Many governments around the world require regular renewal of registrations, but if the originator is no longer marketing the trait, there is no vested interest in maintaining global registration.

Registration lapsing in an important import market could cause export problems for growers producing generic GM crops.

ABIC | NITROGEN EFFICIENCY

Fertilizer manufacturer confident CALGARY — A major fertilizer manufacturer and retailer doesn’t fear new technology that is transforming crops into more efficient users of nutrients.

Nitrogen use efficiency is expected to be the next major breakthrough in crop traits following drought tolerance.

Seed companies are developing crops that require significantly less nitrogen fertilizer to produce today’s yields.

“I don’t really necessarily view it as a threat,” said Chuck Magro, executive vice-president of Agrium Inc., even though technology developers are making it sound that way in their promotional work.

For instance, Arcadia Biosciences is promoting a nitrogen use efficiency canola on its website that in field trials in five growing seasons yields the same as the check variety using twothirds less nitrogen fertilizer.

Magro isn’t fazed by the prospect of farmers eventually planting crops that require far less fertilizer.

“I don’t think what you’re going to see is a nitrogen reduction. I could be wrong, but I don’t see that,” he said in an interview at the Agricultural Biotechnology International Conference 2013.

He believes the technology will be used in a different way.

“I think what will happen is the same amount or even more nitrogen will be put on, but the yield response will be greater and that feeds the world,” said Magro.

Agrium hopes it is the approach farmers will take. The company manufactures and sells five million tonnes of nitrogen fertilizer a year, making it a big part of its revenues.

Magro believes the new trait is a positive development for the agriculture industry because it decreases the amount of wasted fertilizer, which is a growing environmental problem.

“Agriculture does need to become more sustainable. Anything that does that, Agrium is in full support of,” he said.

VALUED-ADDED VENTURE | CORN TRAILS

When visitors go home, cattle take over Corn Trails | Maze attracts 2,500 visitors, then fed to 100 cows

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

CANORA, Sask. — Lenard Bazarski fenced off a six-acre corn patch for winter grazing several years ago, and he and his wife Bonnie’s three child re n s p e nt h o u r s s c a m p e r i n g through the stalks.

That experiment has turned into an annual fall attraction anticipated by people of all ages.

Corn Trails is set within 20 acres of a 60-acre field 15 kilometres west of Canora near Good Spirit Lake. It isn’t a traditional corn maze because the Bazarskis don’t use a pre-set pattern to cut into the growing corn.

“It’s all in my head,” Lenard said.

He starts to cut when the corn is about a metre high. Paths curve and loop rather than bend in sharp corners. Some are dead ends, of course.

There are short courses and a long way to a fire pit and picnic area, complete with a portable toilet, situated in a bush of aspen, wild raspberries and cranberries.

Along the way, people might encounter vintage farm equipment left on site from previous owners. A cabin along one of the trails and the old farmhouse and barn become haunted houses for Halloween celebrations.

“We had some aerial photos taken,” Bonnie said. “Even we were amazed

Lenard and Bonnie Bazarski farm and operate Corn Trails near Good Spirit Lake in Saskatchewan. They hope to add a sunflower maze and a petting zoo. | KAREN BRIERE PHOTO at how it looked.”

She said it takes most visitors about an hour to complete the trails, although knowing the short cut can reduce the time by half.

Many people enjoy the trails but also take advantage of the picnic and grilling area. Last year, about 2,500 people went through the maze from late August to mid-October.

The Bazarskis don’t heavily pro-

mote their trails. It’s not a business as much as a hobby that comes during the busy harvest time. They crop about 1,250 acres and have 100 cows.

“We don’t mind it being low key,” said Bonnie.

They host school classes, birthday parties and organizations looking for a fun place to host an event or staff party.

Their children, Shaelynn, 15, Tara-

lee, 13 and Cody, 12, help.

This is the third year for the trails, which opened in 2010 mainly to friends and neighbours just for fun.

“I like to entertain,” said Lenard.

In 2011, it was too wet to seed.

This year, the corn, planted with a drill, is about three metres tall in spots. In others, where it tends to be too wet, it is barely waist high, but that isn’t necessarily a problem.

The ultimate goal remains to take advantage of the feed the corn provides. That’s why every visitor must follow the main rule: you can’t pick the corn.

“Last year, we brought 100 cows in for just about 90 days of grazing,” Lenard said.

In the spring, the cows calve in the same area and clean up any corn they — and the deer and moose — left behind from fall and winter grazing.

He tried confining the cows to smaller areas of the field so they would make better use of the corn, but the snow was so high last year they just walked over the fence.

This year, he is thinking about trying to harvest the corn instead.

The Bazarskis are also thinking of other things they could do to enhance the Corn Trails experience.

“We tried pumpkins,” Bonnie said.

“They either got frosted or drowned.”

A mini-maze made from small square bales would appeal to families with smaller children. A small petting zoo is another possibility.

“Our kids are in 4-H so we actually have tame cattle,” she said. “They would love the interaction with kids.”

The current renters in a home on the property have a couple of friendly puppies that seem to know the trails well and like the company.

Sunday Searches is a popular part of the trails experience, when Sunday visitors who find a ball hidden along the trail receive a prize.

“There are lots of things we could do,” Bonnie said.

The creative Lenard has now set his thoughts toward a sunflower maze.

FOOD SAFETY | LOCAL, ORGANIC FOODS

Confidence in local food safety may be unwise: experts

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Consumers seem to assume that locally produced food, food produced by small farmers and organic products are inherently safe, say food safety experts.

That’s a problem, they add, because no one should be assuming that local, small-scale and organic food is any safer than mainstream food. As well, fewer safety controls are sometimes placed on that kind of food than what is imposed on food sold in the grocery stores.

By knowing the people who produce organic or local products, consumers feel confident in its safety, but it may be misguided, said Rick Holley, a University of Manitoba food safety expert.

“Those things just do not offer a level of protection that is better than the current systems that we have in

place for the manufacturing and distribution of food within the province or interprovincial.”

A debate recently erupted over whether Manitoba Agriculture overreacted when its inspectors seized and destroyed a producer’s farmmade prosciutto and other raw, cured meat.

Some have argued that existing food manufacturing guidelines are designed for major food processors and do not allow small-scale farmers and processors to make food locally.

However, Holley and the man who was Manitoba Agriculture’s food safety manager at the time of the prosciutto seizure, say nothing can allow food safety standards to be compromised to help small-scale producers.

“Especially with things like readyto-eat meat. This stuff doesn’t get cooked,” said Glen Duizer, the acting chief veterinary officer at the time of the seizure.

There is an impression out there that because they’re small, local, they raise their pigs outside or their flocks outside … that their product is safe. And local does not equal safe.

GLEN DUIZER MANITOBA VETERINARIAN

“As one of our inspectors said (to me), the kill stage of any pathogen in ready-to-eat meat is inside your stomach. There is no other cooking or anything else that happens to it.”

Duizer said he worries that the public has a false confidence in the inherent safety of food that is made locally, organically or sold outside the usual commercial channels.

“There is an impression out there

that because they’re small, local, they raise their pigs outside or their flocks outside … that their product is safe. And local does not equal safe,” said Duizer. “It’s not synonymous.”

He said the public has become less worried about food poisoning even though the food threats are more lethal than in the past.

“The pathogens, the food-borne pathogens that we have today, espe-

cially the salmonellas and E. colis, are not the same ones we had 60, 70, 80, 90 years ago. It’s a different crop. A different group. And they are not standing stagnant, waiting for us to catch up,” said Duizer.

“They will find a way to get into food, to get into people and cause significant disease. We have to make sure that the standards are right to make sure that the food is safe.”

Holley said he recently asked students in a food safety course he teaches how safe they thought food was at farmers markets.

Some assumed the products were safer than at grocery stores because they were local and small scale.

“That’s really unfortunate,” said Holley. “I don’t think for a moment that foods that are sold at farmers markets are (necessarily) more risky, but there’s greater opportunity for that to happen if the guidelines are not there.”

ON THE FARM | ORGANICS

Switch to organics revives passion for farming Cake mix farming not satisfying | Swiss immigrants say wide open prairie is the real Canada

BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

L A N G E N B U R G, S a s k . —T h e Rindisbacher family feels at home on their organic grain farm in eastern Saskatchewan.

Originally from Switzerland, Nick and Barbara immigrated to Canada in 1999. They both grew up on dairy farms, but there wasn’t enough income there to farm, and land was expensive.

The young couple had their sights on Western Canada.

“This for us was real Canada,” Barbara said. “Wide open prairies with the wheat fields. That in our view was Canada.”

They first arrived as agricultural exchange students and spent most of 1997 working on a dairy farm in Saskatchewan.

“First we thought we would come and milk cows, but the longer we were here we realized we didn’t have the money and as a family we’re working 24-7,” said Barbara.

They dreamed of owning a small farm to raise their crops, some anima ls and a f a m il y . T he fami l y includes their children, Raphael, 16, and Nicole, 13.

Expired work visas forced them to return to Switzerland and apply for Canadian residency. They were expecting the process to take years, but it was resolved in three months.

“We had it so quickly, we knew that’s the way God wants us to go,” Barbara said.

“If he brought us that far, we knew he was going to be with us further on.”

They placed an ad in The Western Producer in the winter of 1997, said Barbara.

“We had calls, lots of calls. Everyday we had two calls for sure.”

The Rindisbachers soon realized that with financial help from family members in Switzerland, they could make it work.

“In Switzerland, land prices are really high. Even if you come here you think, ‘oh that’s cheap,’ but you never get out of the land as much here as you get over there. You have to realize, don’t compare the prices with Switzerland,” said Barbara.

Nick said it was a steep learning curve when they relocated in 1999,

despite a strong background in agriculture mechanics.

“It was like the mouse who swims in the milk. Keep on swimming. Eventually it gets creamy,” said Barbara.

“You make butter and you can step out,” added Nick.

It soon became clear to them that they didn’t want to become a large operation.

“We want to make it a size that we could do it ourselves,” said Barbara.

They farmed conventionally for the first 10 years and Nick said he was one of the first in his area to adapt zero till.

However, growing grain the conventional way never felt right to him.

“It was kind of like baking a ready mix cake. You buy your ingredients and mix it. If you had a problem out on the land, you would go buy your stuff and add it on.… But we just lost interest in doing that,” he said.

“I couldn’t sleep, basically, at night.

We weren’t big, but still we had, for our farm, a substantial amount of money out there.”

In the fall of 2008, one of their conventionally grown flax crops received a heavy rain, stirring up the dirt and weeds. Nick said even after spraying, the weeds kept growing.

Soon after, Nick met an established organic farmer in their area.

“His crops were really nice and good looking,” he said.

That launched their journey into growing organic barley, wheat and oats.

“I was always kind of afraid to make that step back home, but then I saw it here and thought what can you lose, basically,” Nick said.

Added Barbara: “The scare was always those three transition years.

You don’t have organic prices and you only have half of the crop probably.

We knew that we can always go back.”

The couple believes organics have rejuvenated their desire to farm.

“I think I found the passion again in farming,” Nick said.

Friends in the area are also organic farmers.

“We get together once or twice a year and go look to each other’s fields,” Barbara said. “We try to learn from each other.… It’s really nice how we can work together and we know we’re not alone.”

After peeling, immerse the peaches in eight cups (2 L) ice water with four tablespoons (60 mL) of Real Lemon.

An alternative is to use four tablespoons (60 mL) of Fruit-Fresh mixed in the water.

For all canning, the use of bottled or filtered water is recommended because the minerals in some household water can cause colour changes in the fruit. When canning peaches, do not use the pit. Rather, split the pit open and use the nut inside for added flavour.

Another option is to add almond extract to the canning liquid.

I have found that a food processor does a poor job of peppers, leaving large pieces of skin.

Chopping with a knife gives more uniformity and keeps the skin and pulp intact, resulting in a nicer relish.

Current food safety recommendations indicate that all pickles must be processed to ensure all microorganisms that cause food spoilage are destroyed and that air in the headspace is vented out to give a strong vacuum seal.

DID YOU KNOW? • Swiss chard comes from Sicily, not Switzerland.

• It is also called white beet, strawberry spinach, seakale beet, leaf beet, Sicilian beet, Roman kale and silverbeet.

• Chard is high in vitamin K, fibre and protein and has an antiinflammatory and detoxifying effect on the body.

FREEZING CORN Tips for preserving flavour: • Harvest early in the morning, especially if the weather is hot.

• Harvest the corn at its peak of maturity when the kernels are tender with a milky fluid, avoid bloated kernels. Immature corn is watery when cooked and overripe corn is chewy and doughy.

• Process promptly after harvesting, or keep cooled in the fridge or with ice.

To freeze corn on the cob: • Remove husks and silk. Blanch in boiling water the length of time indicated by the cob diameter: 1 1/2 inch (3 cm) six minutes 2 inch (5 cm) eight minutes larger cobs 10 minutes • Cool in ice water the same length of time blanched in boiling water.

• Wrap ears individually in moisture/vapour proof film the pack wrapped ears in freezer bags or vacuum package.

• For kernel corn, blanch ears five to six minutes. Cool, drain and cut corn from the cob, seal in freezer bags.

Creativity keeps florist’s job interesting Eager to satisfy | Business owner says she looks forward to bringing joy to people’s lives

"

BIGGAR, Sask. — Few bouquets, arrangements and photo albums are available for customers to peruse when buying flowers at Designs by Ann. “You tell me what you want and I’ll create something that’s original,� said Saskatchewan business owner Ann Sapsford.

The florist tends to a rainbow of coloured flowers inside Biggar’s 1912 Bank of Commerce building with scarcely an arms’ length of bare counter space visible.

With her glasses perched halfway down her nose, she cuts flowers, adds a ribbon and occasionally adds one of the thousands of Beanie Babies lying in boxes in the back rooms.

This day, she’s gently removing the anthers from lily stalks before the pollen stains everything it touches.

Annual sales for the one-person operation have reached a modest $30,000, with Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day among her busiest times. “After (that), I’m glad to do something else for a while,� she said.

At 81, Sapsford invests many hours a day tending to flowers, travelling to Saskatoon to pick up stock and making deliveries around Biggar. “I feel very lucky. Some have noth-

ing to look forward to,� she said. “This building is my life. Everyone knows they can come in here and if I don’t have it, I will make it or get it.�

Sapsford has prepared flowers for events ranging from weddings and funerals to birthdays and newborns. “I don’t know today what I might do tomorrow,� she said.

She also often doesn’t know what the final arrangement will look like until it’s done.

This month, she was asked to create flowers for a country wedding outside Biggar.

New bride Sarah Dietz was happy with the result, which included white Casablanca lilies set into cream cans atop square bales, flowers arranged in Mason jars on the tables and a tidy bridal bouquet with silver ribbons that complemented the bride’s gown. “It was simple, white and very classy, which brought the environment of the country out,â€? Dietz said. “You could tell she put her love and detail into it.‌ She’s the type of woman that would go above and beyond for you to make that day more special.â€?

Sapsford got her first job in commercial flower arrangements at the age of 50 after raising four children and helping her husband operate a farm.

She continued doing arrangements from home after that flower shop closed but found it difficult storing flowers in the bathtub and coolers around her home.

That led to the purchase of the bank building for $25,000, the opening of her business in 1991 and ongoing renovations of the shop she dubbed “a work in progress�.

She rents out an upstairs apartment and sleeps at her daughter and sonin-law’s six quarter farm, which Sapsford gave to them. “Money’s not that important to me,� she said.

There were many lean years on the farm with her late husband when grain prices were low to almost nonexistent. She knew about hard times from growing up in the Depression, eating boiled milk and macaroni and sometimes going shoeless.

Sapsford, who has her own unique system of pricing her work, said city florist prices are “way too high.� “Tell me what you want to spend and I will do it,� she said.

JACKLIN ANDREWS, BA, MSW

Q:

My dad is 75. Although he is in relatively good health, he has been alone since my mom died and I worry about him. He does not appear to be doing much to prepare himself for when his time comes. He does not have a will, he refused to consider an advanced care directive when he spent three days in the hospital last winter, and he is secretive about where he holds what kinds of bank accounts.

My husband and I have built a successful farm. We do not need whatever inheritance my dad might have for us, but we think that he could ease some of his own stress if he started to put his house in order. Is there anything that we could say or do to help my dad recognize his own mortality?

A:

It is hard for me to believe that a 75-year-old man, especially one who has watched his wife die, is not aware of the inevitability of his own death. Many of his friends and acquaintances may have already died or will in the coming years.

My guess is your father is well aware of his mortality.

Aging brings with it two processes.

One is called end of life care, the other is preparing to die. End of life care includes the responsibilities you outlined in your letter, preparing wills, putting together advanced care directives and settling financial accounts.

Wills give family members clear direction for inheritances and reduce the probability of family squabbling and tension.

Advanced care directives remove doubt and indecision from medical care providers and let them do what they need to do if your father develops a serious illness.

And settling private financial accounts keeps at bay assets and debits that might otherwise haunt not only your father but you and your family.

Preparing to die means that your father needs to look back at his life and view his triumphs and challenges while also anticipating his own death, that moment in time when he will go through a life change greater than any he has yet experienced. This is a challenging task.

Your letter suggests that you and your husband are focused on end of life care. He does not appear to be interested at the moment. Perhaps you should change your approach and spend more time listening to your dad resolve his life’s journey while he is wondering what is ahead for him.

You then might discover he is keenly aware of his own mortality, but simply looking at it differently than you.

CUSTODY | BAIL OR DETENTION

Conditions of judicial interim release A PRAIRIE PRACTICE

GAIL WARTMAN, B.A., J.D.

W

hen a person is charged with a criminal offence, he is brought before a justice as soon as possible, and generally, the accused is released on his giving an undertaking to appear at court.

Even those people charged with serious offences are not held in custody prior to their trial, unless there is good reason for their detention.

Where the prosecution believes that the person charged should be held in custody, a bail hearing, known as a show cause hearing, is held. The burden is upon the prosecution to show cause why the detention of the accused in custody is justified, or whether other provisions or limitations should be put on the accused’s release.

Some of the usual conditions around release include a prohibition from contacting the alleged victim, a

requirement to remain in a specified territorial jurisdiction, a prohibition from using alcohol or other drugs, curfews and requirements to report at specified times to a peace officer or other designated person.

Often when there is a newsworthy incident arising in criminal charges, many people believe that the person charged with the offence should be kept locked up pending their trial.

But for most charges under the Criminal Code of Canada, section 515(10) states that the detention of an accused in custody is justified only on one or more of the following grounds: • To ensure their appearance in court.

• For the protection or safety of the public , where there is a substantial likelihood that the accused will, if released from custody, commit a criminal offence or interfere with the administration of justice.

• Where the detention is necessary to maintain confidence in the administration of justice, having regard to all the circumstances, including the gravity of the offence, the circumstances surrounding the commission of the offence (including whether a firearm was used) and the apparent strength of

the prosecution’s case.

Along with the underlying principle in criminal law that a person is innocent until proven guilty, there is also a principle that an accused should not be detained until he is proven guilty, unless one or more of the above concerns are demonstrated to be in existence.

There are a small number of offences to which these rules do not apply, but the foregoing outlines the general principles relating to interim judicial release.

The prisons in Canada are becoming more crowded, and many of the residents in prisons are there on remand, meaning that they have been placed there as a result of being denied bail. Many of them will never be convicted of any crime and will be found not guilty at their trial.

It is therefore easy to understand how important the bail process is, and to realize that there needs to be good justification for detaining someone accused of a crime in the period before he is convicted.

ALLERGIC RHINITIS | SYMPTOMS

Is it a cold or allergies?

Itchy eyes telltale sign HEALTH CLINIC

CLARE ROWSON, MD

Q:

My 10-year-old son often seems to have a runny nose and I am never sure if it is a cold or allergies. It seems to be worse in the spring when the grass and trees are flowering.

A:

A runny nose is known as rhinitis, and if it is due to allergies, it is called allergic rhinitis.

It becomes even more confusing when you realize that there are more symptoms involved in allergic rhinitis than just a runny nose with sneezing and stuffiness.

More than 72 percent of allergy sufferers have eye symptoms as well.

Eyes will be itchy, watery and red and the patient will have a hard time refraining from rubbing them and making them even worse.

Doctors have a difficult time distinguishing between allergies and colds, but there are some clues.

Colds generally occur about three days after exposure to a cold virus, so if you know someone in the family has had one a few days earlier, then your son probably has a cold.

Allergies can flare almost instantaneously on exposure to the allergen, or may appear seasonally, as in ragweed or grass pollen allergies.

Colds rarely cause itchy eyes and sore throats are uncommon in allergy sufferers.

The nasal discharge in people with colds is often yellowish, but this may not be obvious for a day or two. Allergies only have a clear discharge.

The main difference is that colds generally do not last longer than two

weeks, while allergies can last as long as the person is exposed to the allergen, which can be weeks or months, or even indefinitely if it is from exposure to pets or dust.

If you want to confirm that your son’s symptoms are due to allergies and find out exactly what he is allergic to, then an allergy specialist can do a patch skin test. The test is generally on the skin of the forearm or on the back.

After cleaning the test site with alcohol, the practitioner draws small marks on your skin and applies a drop of allergen extract next to each mark. He or she then uses a lancet to prick the extracts into the skin’s surface. A new lancet is used for each allergen.

After about 20 minutes, the results are read by observing which area has reacted and turned red.

Multinational software developer hires people with autism SAP, a multinational company based in Germany, will be hiring hundreds of people with autism or autistic spectrum disorder within the next few years.

They will be recruiting in the United States and Canada because they feel that these people are suited to the job that involves their ability to simplify complex problems and work well in a structured environment.

The company has recently begun a pilot project in their India and Ireland branches.

The firm makes sure that each of its autistic employees has a nominated colleague to be a single point of contact because they need a trusted person to feel safe in his environment.

Currently, only a small percentage of autistic individuals are active and paid members of the workforce.

READERS’ LETTERS | YOUNG CO-OPERATORS

Budding writer blossoms with WP

S

erendipity: I was reading about The Western Producer’s 90th birthday and then rediscovered my YC crest in a “catch-all” drawer.

Suddenly I was awash in memories of the Young Co-operators pages in the WP. Ah, the excitement of seeing one’s words in print in a real newspaper.

I remember with gratitude and fondness Sister Ann and Bluebird, who shepherded us and the YC pages.

At the beginning, some of my writings were gently edited. I tended to be a bit wordy. I would read my article in the paper and think, “yes, that sounds better.” I learned.

There was structure to the YCC. Long before any of us would attain university degrees, we got to add initials after our pen names: HC for 20 publications, RHC for 50 and some of us even got to write CC (Centenarian Co-operator) for 100 published articles.

Other possible initials would indicate awards for either poetry or prose.

The YCC was also democratic because we got to vote for our own judges: junior and senior leaders for prose and laureates for poetry. I had the honour, and the challenge, of serving as junior laureate and four years later, senior leader, both excellent learning experiences.

Risk of West Nile Virus low, says official

Cargill to build new oil crusher

One serious case confirmed in Sask. | Older and immune-compromised people are more vulnerable

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Saskatchewan has reported a case of West Nile Virus neurological syndrome even as cooler weather arrived to drive down the risk.

Provincial chief medical health officer Dr. Saqib Shahab said Sept. 20 that a man in his 60s is hospitalized in the Five Hills Health Region, which includes an area around Moose Jaw. Another six suspected cases of the milder form of the virus are under investigation. Shahab said one other case was confirmed earlier through screening at Canadian Blood Services.

That person displayed no symptoms.

Of the total, two are from the Saskatoon area, two from Regina, three from the Cypress Hills area and the one in Five Hills.

“The risk is still low but not zero,” he told reporters.

People who work in barns or in areas with thick vegetation or a coulee where the frost hasn’t fully hit could still be bitten by the culex tarsalis mosquito, which carries the virus.

The current cases likely occurred in late August and early September because the disease takes a week or two to develop.

Most infections are characterized by fever, headaches and body aches.

Older and immune-compromised people are more susceptible to the more serious syndrome, but Shahab said even young healthy people can get forms of the virus, which resemble viral meningitis or encephalitis.

Anyone who develops severe headaches, persistent high fever or confusion should seek medical attention.

POULTRY | RESEARCH

U of S researcher to probe poultry digestion Multimillion-dollar project | $3.6 million initiative will examine how birds digest different feeds, including peas

BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A multimillion-dollar initiative examining poultry nutrition, management and welfare is expected to improve production and reduce costs for producers, says the University of Saskatchewan researcher leading the project.

One aspect of the five-year program will examine poultry digestion, as well as different kinds of feed, including peas.

“It’s primarily in response to the fact that feed prices have doubled in the last five to 10 years,” said Hank Classen of the University’s agriculture college.

“And in addition to doubling,

they’re also much more erratic, depending on what’s happening with the world situation for corn and soybeans, as an example.”

Funding of $3.6 million, which is provided through the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada and poultry industry organizations in Saskatchewan, will allow Classen to study how the rate of digestion influences production, animal health, the use of growth promotants and meat quality.

“Historically, we’ve always thought what we’re looking for is complete digestion and as quickly as possible, and now we’re starting to change that and say we at least need to understand whether that’s the correct dogma or not or whether we should be thinking

Runs in the family.

Prosko Family, ROSE VALLEY, SK

about some of it being slowly digested and thereby changing the characteristics of the gut and changing how the nutrient is metabolized once it’s absorbed,” said Classen.

There may be a role for peas in the rations used by broiler breeders, said Clinton Monchuk, chief executive officer of Chicken Farmers of Saskatchewan.

“It’s something that is slowly metabolized in their gut and it keeps them satisfied longer, which is good,” he said. “In the broiler breeders, they have more of a restricted diet to promote hatching eggs, so this is obviously a beneficial thing from the initial research that (Classen has) done. This position will go even further into that to see if we can do it on a wider scale.”

Researchers will also examine variations of other low glycemic grains, which are digested more slowly.

“These slowly degraded proteins or starch will set up a fermentation process, and that fermentation process might be valuable or it might in fact be detrimental,” said Classen.

“We need to understand and be able to possibly incorporate that into a formulation package so we can formulate diets appropriately.”

Classen said updates on the project will be provided to stakeholders on a yearly basis.

“Some of it they will not be able to use right away,” he said.

“Other components, they will, I think, be able to incorporate in a relatively short term.”

Native grasslands are safe: ag minister Conservationists fear demise | Safeguards are in place to protect grassland, says Lyle Stewart

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Saskatchewan conservationists say the government should find out exactly how much grassland, both publicly and privately owned, is left and where it is located.

They also suggest a moratorium on breaking any grassland until a policy for managing it can be developed.

Agriculture minister Lyle Stewart said neither is planned.

“We’re not contemplating a review of crown land,” he said.

As for a moratorium: “That’s not going to happen.”

He said little native grassland is being broken because most of it went under the plow decades ago.

The government can’t stop farmers who own land and want to break old yard sites or square the edges of fields and break native grass in the process.

Environmentally sensitive crown land is subject to easements and is monitored, he said.

“We’re pretty satisfied that the proper safeguards are in place,” Stewart said.

“Grassland being broken in substantial acreages is just not an issue.”

Trevor Herriot, a spokesperson for Public Pastures-Public Interest (PPPI), said he hears many reports of native grass being plowed, but people are reluctant to give details because the issue is contentious.

One case raised earlier this month suggested that a new owner was plowing a field of native grass in southwestern Saskatchewan that| had been crown land.

However, it later turned out the land was in crested wheatgrass.

The government confirmed that 160 acres of the land in question had been owned by the crown but was seeded to tame grass for at least 20 years.

Still, Herriot said he and other conservationists worry that high commodity prices will mean more land is broken so that farmers can take advantage of those prices.

He said the situation isn’t good for cattle producers, either.

“We have a shared interest in keeping land under grass,” he said.

An inventory of where the grass is and what condition it is in would be useful for everyone, Herriot said.

PPPI believes there should also be a lease rate that keeps Saskatchewan cattle producers competitive with their neighbours, particularly on the former federal pastures that are soon to be turned over to the province and then patrons.

Herriot said lessees can’t be expected to look after the wider interests of biodiversity and species at risk unless they receive a price break.

“Maybe we have to come up with a system that will give our cattlemen a better price on animal unit months rates that they pay, especially if they’re following certain best management practices that protect that public interest,” he said.

At the same time, he said neither cattle producers nor conservationists want a situation where the government is “super regulating.”

Proper public policy should be good for all, he said.

NEWS LABOUR | FOREIGN WORKERS

Focus on local workers | Changes will mean more competition for labourers, increasing costs

OTTAWA BUREAU

The federal government’s decision to tighten rules governing use of temporary foreign workers in Canada will have a “very significant” impact on many farmers, says a new report.

The government published new rules in late summer that will require employers who bring in foreign workers through the Temporary Foreign Worker Program to pay higher fees and face a higher bar in proving that they are not replacing Canadians willing to work.

Although the major programs used by farmers to hire foreign temporary workers are not affected, a report from the George Morris Centre in Guelph, Ont., said the industry will feel the pinch.

“It would be wrong to suppose that the agri-food sector will be left unaffected,” said the report, written by senior research associate Al Mussell.

“The changes can be expected to make it tougher to fill certain types of positions.”

The agri-food sector employed almost 40,000 temporary foreign workers last year, which is more than 13 percent higher than in 2010.

The majority were in categories exempted by the government from the changes, which are aimed at meeting criticisms that employers are using lower-paid foreign workers to cut costs and bypass unemployed Canadians who have higher job pay and work condition expectations.

“Despite the exemptions, I do think that in some sectors these changes will have a very significant impact on farmer ability to attract and retain workers,” Mussell said in an interview.

“This is particularly true in sectors where the work is difficult or repetitive.”

He said Ontario and Alberta will be most affected.

The need to increase efforts to find local workers will mean producers are competing with other sectors, raising costs and the need to train local workers without farm equipment skills in a highly mechanized business.

Mussell said the new rules are a signal that finding a workforce willing to meet agriculture’s needs will become more difficult and costly.

“The new constraints placed on access to foreign workers provide a signal that the sector will need to continuously adapt in order to compete for talented people with other economic sectors and across regions to succeed in its operations,” he wrote.

Farmers will have to consider both the prospect of higher wage bills and also the need to invest in new equipment that requires higher worker skill levels but also improve productivity.

He said the days of farmers depending for a seasonal workforce on under-employed or unemployed locals with some knowledge of farm-

ing are over.

“It is no longer the case that the sector can readily depend on locally bound supplies of low-cost workers requiring little training and having few employment opportunities,” he wrote.

Foreign workers have filled the gap, but political sensitivities are making that workforce source less reliable.

Wasted food a major carbon emitter: UN ROME, Italy (Reuters) — The food the world wastes accounts for more greenhouse gas emissions than any country except China and the United States, says a new United Nations report.

One-third of all food for human consumption, around 1.3 billion tonnes, is wasted every year, but that doesn’t account for all the energy, water and chemicals that are needed to produce it and dispose of it.

As a result, almost 30 percent of the world’s farmland, and a volume of water equivalent to the annual discharge of the River Volga, are in effect being used in vain.

In its report, called The Food Wastage Footprint, the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization estimated

that the carbon footprint of wasted food was equivalent to 3.3 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide per year.

If it were a country, it would be the world’s third biggest emitter, suggesting that more efficient food use could contribute substantially to global efforts to cut greenhouse gases to limit global warming.

Much of the waste in the industrialized world comes from consumers buying too much and throwing it away. In developing countries, it is mainly inefficient farming and a lack of proper storage facilities.

“Food wastage reduction would not only avoid pressure on scarce natural resources but also decrease the need to raise food production by 60 percent in order to meet the 2050

population demand,” the FAO said.

It suggested improving communication between producers and consumers to manage the supply chain more efficiently, as well as investing more in harvesting, cooling and packaging methods.

It also said consumers in the developed world should be encouraged to serve smaller portions and use up leftovers. Businesses should give surplus food to charities and develop alternatives to dumping in landfills.

The FAO estimated the cost of the wasted food, excluding fish and seafood, at $750 billion a year, based on producer prices.

The wasted food consumes 250 cubic kilometres of water and takes up 3.5 billion acres.

WORLD IN BRIEF PRODUCTION

Analyst bumps up corn forecast CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — Crop forecaster Lanworth has slightly raised its forecast for U.S. corn production to 13.483 billion bushels, based on an average yield of 152.9 bu. per acre.

Lanworth cited improved yield expectations in Kansas, Nebraska, and South Dakota for the boost in its forecast, which it said still fell below the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s outlook.

The forecaster left its estimate for world corn production unchanged at 942 million tonnes.

Lanworth raised its outlook for world soybean production by three million tonnes to 281 million tonnes.

For wheat, it raised its world harvest outlook to 704 million tonnes from 702 million after raising its forecast for crops in Kazakhstan and Russia.

Sector observers said the announcement cleared up uncertainty over how the government is evaluating the sale of smaller properties to nonBrazilians.

Sale of properties larger than 24,710 acres requires approval from Congress.

Brazil, as one of the world’s few countries with room for large-scale expansion of farmland, could be the top global exporter of soybeans again this year after producing what is expected to be its second consecutive record crop.

Although the 2010 regulations made foreign investors more cautious, they did not prevent them from investing in Brazil’s fertile farmland. Many have been teaming up with Brazilian nationals to buy properties or have been leasing rather than buying.

World agricultural subsidies climb BRUSSELS, Belgium (Reuters) — Agricultural subsidies as a share of farm income bounced back in 2012 from a record low the previous year, says the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development.

The increase was blamed on a dip in commodity prices and increased farm spending, most notably in China.

Public support for producers in 47 countries amounted to 17 percent of gross farm receipts, up from an all-time low of 15 percent in 2011, according to the OECD. Despite the increase, it said the long-term trend in support levels remained downward.

“This short-term change is partly related to developments in world prices for agricultural commodities, as opposed to explicit policy changes,” the report found.

Last year, the prices of commodities such as cereals and sugar fell back from their 2011 peaks, ensuring that public subsidies accounted for a higher relative share of farm incomes despite remaining stable in absolute terms in many countries.

However, the total was also

U.S. analyst sees 13.8 billion bushels of corn CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — Private analytics firm Informa Economics lowered its forecast of U.S. 2013 corn production to 13.8 billion bushels from 14.013 billion bu.

The firm also lowered its 2013 U.S. soybean crop estimate to 3.22 billion bu. from its Sept. 6 estimate of 3.239 billion bu.

The firm said its forecasts were based on acreage adjustments indicated by data released Sept.

17 by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Farm Service Agency combined with the firm’s current yield estimates.

Informa’s figures compare with the USDA’s current forecasts for 2013 corn production of 13.843 billion bu. and soybean production at 3.149 billion bu.

Informa also estimated U.S. allwheat production for the 2013-14 marketing year at 2.08 billion bu., below the USDA’s current forecast for 2.114 billion bu.

The USDA is scheduled to release updated crop forecasts Oct. 11.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (Reuters) — NASA is using a pair of decommissioned military drones to study how tropical storms develop over the Atlantic Ocean.

The campaign, known as the Hurricane and Severe Storm Sentinel, began last year with one Global Hawk unmanned aircraft outfitted with instruments to probe the environment around a developing storm.

With two planes available for the 2013 Atlantic hurricane season, scientists are also focusing on the interior of storms. The project could improve storm prediction and forecast models by shedding light on how tropical cyclones can rapidly intensify.

“The second aircraft will measure eyewall and rainband winds, and precipitation, something we didn’t get to do last year,” said project lead scientist Scott Braun, a meteorologist with the U.S. space agency’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.

“I don’t think a volume over price strategy passes the economic sniff test,” Prokopanko said.

It has since been found near Issia in the Daloa region, which accounts for a quarter of the Ivorian crop, according to the cocoa marketing board.

An Ivorian agronomist who is involved in the study said 370,000 acres of Ivory Coastâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s six million acres of cocoa farms are either threatened or have already been destroyed.

keep biotech alfalfa from contaminating conventional and organic supplies.

Crop experts have warned that the confirmation of contamination threatens U.S. sales of alfalfa feedstock to many Asian countries who reject GMOs, and some are encouraging farmers to test every bag of seed they buy before they plant.

However, the USDA said the detection of Monsantoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Roundup Ready trait in the Washington farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nonGM alfalfa crop should be addressed by the marketplace and not the government. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The agriculture industry has approaches to minimize their occurrence and manage them when they occur,â&#x20AC;? the Sept. 17 statement said.

Alfalfa routinely ranks among the top five crops in the nation in terms of farmgate value and total acreage planted. It is the first perennial biotech crop to be approved, and its perennial nature makes it even more of a contamination risk, critics have charged.

Washington agriculture officials notified the USDAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Sept. 13 that they had confirmed a â&#x20AC;&#x153;low-levelâ&#x20AC;? presence of a GM trait in what the farmer thought was a non-GMO crop.

State agriculture officials did not identify the level of contamination, but in a letter to APHIS said it was â&#x20AC;&#x153;within ranges acceptable to much of the marketplace.â&#x20AC;?

USDA approved The USDA initially approved Roundup Ready alfalfa in 2005. Environmental groups and some seed companies sued the department in 2006 and successfully forced it to rescind its approval after a federal court found that the USDA had not conducted a thorough environmental review as required before approving the product.

After completing an environmental review, the government in 2010 considered approving GM alfalfa with certain planting restrictions to try to isolate it from non-GM alfalfa.

Instead, the U SDA approved unrestricted planting in January 2011.

The amount of GM contamination that might be present in conventional alfalfa is not known.

A December 2011 report by Stephanie Greene, a geneticist with the USDAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Agricultural Research Service, said testing of conventional seed lots found contamination levels as high as two percent after Roundup Ready alfalfa was first deregulated in 2005.

George Kimbrell, senior attorney with the Center for Food Safety, which brought the lawsuit against the government that led to the temporary injunction on alfalfa sales, said the organization might renew its litigation over alfalfa contamination concerns in light of the events in Washington.

DEVELOPMENT | SUSTAINABILITY

Nigeria focusing on agricultural self-sufficiency Investment needed | Bribes and lack of adherence to government regulations inhibit development ABUJA, Nigeria (Reuters) — Nigeria is reforming its farming sector to bolster production and draw investment.

However, companies say more must be done to tackle entrenched corruption, poor infrastructure and rogue government agencies.

Nigeria’s annual economic summit focused on agriculture for the first time, in line with president Goodluck Jonathan’s commitment to fix ing the countr y’s biggest employer.

Agriculture minister Akinwumi Adesina, who has been praised by donors and businesses for his efforts, was keen to stress the success of reforms begun two years ago.

He said subsidies to reduce the cost of fertilizer for farmers were no longer managed by corrupt politicians but instead were given directly to farmers.

As well, food imports had fallen by $5.2 billion and food production was up by eight million tonnes, helping to create 2.2 million jobs.

The government wants to add 20 million tonnes of domestic food production by 2020, and rice, corn, sorghum, palm oil and cocoa have already increased, Adesina said.

Nigeria, which is the world’s second-largest importer of rice, aims to become self-sufficient by 2015 after introducing a 100 percent tax on polished rice imports this year. The move is most likely to affect India, Thailand and Brazil.

Security sources and farmers have said one backlash has been a rise in the smuggling of rice and sugar from neighbouring countries and into ports.

Higher cassava production has been used to make flour, reducing wheat imports mostly from the United States by almost nine percent, Adesina said.

Bank lending to agriculture had risen to $159 million this year from just $22 million in 2012.

Enticement measures Duties on agricultural equipment have been scrapped and tax breaks given to companies willing to invest in farming and industrial processes.

The country’s reforms have drawn new foreign investors such as Cargill, Syngenta and SABMiller, while Dangote Sugar and others are investing more.

However, many companies who spoke at the summit gave a less rosy picture, saying state and local governments still extort unofficial payments, while officials at ports and customs either worked around government policies or outright ignored them.

Confusing laws on land, much of which is owned or claimed by government officials, also mean it is difficult to expand. That has left 60 percent of Nigeria’s arable land fallow, farmers say.

“We’re still battling with the basics:

The country is reforming its agricultural sector and has scrapped duties on agricultural equipment as one of many measures designed to become self-sufficient by 2015. | REUTERS/JOE BROCK PHOTO visa processing times, port delays, access to credit, transport systems,” said Alan Jack, managing director of Shonga Farms, a mainly poultry and milk farming group that supplies the Lagos branch of Kentucky Fried Chicken.

“Rhetoric is all we are getting. It’s time to walk the walk.”

Jack said imported chicken from Brazil cost 86 cents per kilogram, while a chick in Nigeria costs $1.15, making government plans to emulate its South American rival unrealistic.

“Ports would scare the life out of anyone. It’s the worst thing about your system,” said Calvin Burgess, chief executive of Dominion Farms, a U.S.-owned firm looking to grow rice in Taraba state.

He said $10 million of agriculture equipment was delayed for almost a year because customs and other agencies sought bribes. Dominion operated in Kenya for 10 years “without anything like these problems,” he added.

The government says port reform is a key policy, but investors say progress is slow.

Industry players were also critical of Nigeria’s dilapidated road network and troubled power supply, noting it is often more profitable to ship produce to the United Kingdom rather than transport it from Lagos in the south to the biggest northern city, Kano.

“We don’t benefit from any infrastructure put in place. We have to build our own roads and provide our own electricity,” said Gbenga Oyebode, chair of Okomu Palm.

Africa’s most populous country is privatizing much of its power sector, which should help improve electricity shortages that hurt the agriculture sector.

Nigeria’s reforms are needed to reduce reliance on a struggling oil sector and cut a $11 billion food import bill.

“We see efforts, but do we know

these policies will be long term?” said Paul Gbededo, chief executive officer

of FlourMills of Nigeria, one of the country’s largest agriculture firms.

“Every level of government must be committed.”

Looking for labour | 10,000 foreign workers arrive on Canadian farms every year

BY JEFFREY CARTER FREELANCE WRITER

Many Ontario farm families employ a mix of Canadian and temporary foreign workers. | JEFFREY CARTER PHOTO

It’s all tied up.

When it comes to yield supremacy, it’s six of one, half dozen of the other.

It’s been talked about, debated, and argued amongst growers across the prairies. When it’s all said and done, according to yield trials, Genuity® Roundup Ready® hybrids yield on par with the competition.* Like all contests this close, the debate rages on... for now.

DRESDEN, Ont. — Providing an avenue to citizenship for foreign agricultural workers is an option worth exploring, says a senior researcher with the George Morris Centre.

“If we talk to people who have had workers to a large extent, they feel they’re excellent workers and if there was a way to bring them into Canada,

I think there has to be a willingness on behalf of the industry to break the cycle.

STAN RAPER UNITED FOOD & COMMERCIAL WORKERS

they would like to,” Al Mussell said.

Close to 30,000 foreign workers arrive in Canada annually through the Seasonal Agricultural Workers Program (SAWP). They come for up to eight months, and many have been doing so for 10 years or more.

Another 10,000 arrive through the agricultural and low-skilled streams of the Temporary Foreign Workers Program (TFWP). They can work in Canada for up to four years before being required to return home.

Stan Raper of the United Food & Commercial Workers supports opening an avenue for citizenship for foreign agricultural workers.

The workers are tied to a single employer, he said. If issues do arise, many are afraid to complain for fear of losing their position and being sent home.

“It (the program) was designed for employers and by employers,” he said.

“They (foreign workers) are doing the jobs Canadians do not want to do.

The agriculture industry has expanded to the point that they cannot do without them. I think there has to be a willingness on behalf of the industry to break the cycle. I don’t think anyone is trying. They’re trying to reinforce it.”

Mussell, on the other hand, sees current federal policy as a win for both farmers and the foreign workers they employ.

“These guys want to work.… I don’t agree with the idea it’s some form of indentured servitude,” he said.

“It’s probably like anything else.

There are probably a few bad actors in the system, bad actors who are employers and bad actors who are workers.”

Mussell said the new constraints placed by the federal government on access to foreign workers should serve as a wake-up call for Canadian farmers.

Producers need to focus on competing with other sectors to bring talented workers to their farms, he added.

“In the agricultural community, we tend to think of land and water as being our limiting factor in the scope of operations. I think we also need to think in terms of attracting a talented workforce,” Mussell said.

“This will require continual redesign and re-thinking of workplaces, investment in new technologies that require higher skill levels and productivity improvements in operations that can sustain increased wage-salary budgets in the future.”

The federal government announced changes to TFWP this spring. Mussell said there will be additional fees and greater requirements on behalf of employers to demonstrate that foreign workers are not taking jobs Canadians could fill.

Advertorial

Anyway you pencil it out,

NexeraTM canola hybrids equal healthier profits.

In 2013, Nexera is expected to return over $115 million over and above the value of commodity canola. Since its launch, Nexera has returned over $426 million to Western Canadian growers – with more than half of that coming in the last three years.

“The higher returns are being driven by a number of factors,” says Kerry Freeman, Nexera Product Manager, Dow AgroSciences.

“Superior canola yields combined with the grower premiums and incentives associated with Nexera canola are increasing returns. Strong market demand by new and growing end-use customers for heart-healthy Omega-9 Oil is also a big factor.”

Freeman also points out that the heart-healthy Omega-9 Oil made from high-yielding Nexera canola is the new standard in today’s food industry. And the higher-value, end-use product translates into higher profits at the farm level.

Higher profitability starts with the proven performance of Nexera canola hybrids New Nexera canola hybrids increase the profitability equation, and the number of Nexera canola acres grown continues to increase year over year. The Nexera canola hybrid Roundup Ready® Series and Clearfield® Series each offer two high-performing hybrids that are changing canola. Their success is driven by a number of factors, including: • next-generation hybrid technology • industry-leading hybrid yields • early- and late-season hybrid vigour • excellent standability • superior disease resistance

from Agriculture Canada for a breeding project led by the Canadian Field Crop Research Alliance.

The Canadian Field Crop Genetics Improvement Cluster, a five-year, $10.3 million initiative, will bring together researchers from the public and private sectors to enhance the genetics of soybeans, grain corn, oats, and barley to produce highyielding, low input, disease-resistant varieties.

MPGA is interested in two activities in the cluster: short season soybean improvement research, including high yields, specialty traits and identification of resistance to root rots, and the development of short season herbicide tolerant soybean varieties adapted to the Prairies.

Highest in grower satisfaction, too These new hybrids are ideal for growers in the mid and long-season zones who are looking for hybrid yields and higher profit. They offer yield potential equivalent to any competitive canola hybrid, and result in profitability that’s higher than other canola brands. In fact, Nexera RR Hybrids rank highest in grower satisfaction, according to Canola Evaluation and Intentions, Canada, 2012, Stratus Agri-Marketing, Inc. The option of the Roundup Ready or Clearfield weed control system allows Nexera canola growers to choose the system that works best for them. Either way, growers get the advantages of convenience, flexibility and superior weed control from a production system designed to help them make the most of the Nexera canola profit opportunity.

GRAIN HANDLING | TREATED SEED

Farmers urged to avoid grain contamination Treated seed in system | Health Canada has a maximum residue limit

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The Canadian Grain Commission is urging grain producers to take extra steps this fall to ensure that treated seed is not mixed with harvested grain.

At this time of year, many western Canadian farmers are harvesting grain and planting fall seeded crops such as winter wheat that may be treated with fungicides or other chemicals.

This increases the risk that small

amounts of treated seed could be inadvertently mixed with harvested grain that will eventually be delivered into the commercial grain handling system.

The commission is encouraging growers to prevent inadvertent contamination of grain crops by following these steps: • If possible, store treated seed in separate bins.

• Clean all bins and equipment thoroughly after handling treated seed.

• Visually inspect equipment and bins for treated seed before using

them to store or handle harvested crops.

Health Canada sets maximum residue limits for chemicals in Canadian grain. Any grain that exceeds those maximum residue limits can be condemned and prohibited from entering the food or feed system.

Under the Canadian Grain Act, delivery of contaminated grain is prohibited. Licensed grain handling facilities are prohibited from receiving grain that is contaminated and can refuse to accept grain that they believe is contaminated.

If treated seed is found in a grain shipment at a terminal elevator, the shipment can be held until the Canadian Grain Commission completes a chemical analysis. Shipment delays add additional costs to grain handlers and can result in grain being destroyed. | FILE PHOTO

RESEARCH | DAIRY IMPROVEMENTS

Ottawa gives dairy research $12 million

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

A g r i c u l t u re C a n a d a h a s a n nounced a $12 million, five-year investment in dairy research that will be supplemented by a $6 million investment from Dairy Farmers of Canada.

MP Pierre Lemieux, parliamentary secretary to agriculture minister Gerry Ritz, announced the federal funding Sept. 16 in eastern Ontario.

The government announcement said the money will fund projects in a “research cluster” led by DFC that will bring together public and private scientists to study ways to improve dairy cattle genetics, sustainable milk production, animal productivity and dairy cattle health and welfare practices.

Setting research priorities will be led by the industry.

In the announcement, Ritz said the money is aimed at allowing the industry to “conduct innovative research that will keep them competitive for years to come.”

The money comes from the AgriInnovation fund within the five-year Growing Forward 2 agriculture policy framework.

The money will start to flow only after government and industry sign “contribution and collaboration agreements,” said the announcement.

DFC president Wally Smith said industry research priorities are “focused on driving innovation and increased productivity on the farm while contributing to the health and well-being of Canadians.”

Research investments over the past three decades have dramatically increased the milk production per cow.

It has led to increased exports of Canadian dairy genetics, worth more than $110 million in exports last year to countries in the Pacific Rim, the Middle East and South America.

WILDLIFE | ENDANGERED BIRD

Sage grouse under threat; protection order issued Emergency order issued for the first time since the Species at Risk Act created

BY KRISTEN MCEWEN SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The federal government plans to introduce an emergency protection order for the greater sage grouse.

The emergency order will protect the endangered bird by imposing restrictions on provincial and federal crown lands in Saskatchewan and Alberta.

Private land and provincial and federal grazing lands will be free of these restrictions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A balanced approach to species conservation is important and the Government of Canada recognizes the impacts that prohibitions could potentially have on private landowners whose livelihood depends on working the land,â&#x20AC;? said Environment Canada spokesperson Mark Johnson.

He said the federal government is encouraging private landowners to protect endangered species on their land with help from organizations such as the Alberta Conservation Association.

The restrictions in the emergency order will apply to 1,200 sq. kilo-

metres of crown land in Saskatchewan and Alberta â&#x20AC;&#x153;to address seasonal noise, destruction of habitat, disturbance of breeding sites and creation of new structures,â&#x20AC;? according to Environment Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website.

Under the Species at Risk Act, an emergency protection order is used when a species faces threats to its survival. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Government of Canada has been taking steps to protect the sage grouse for several years,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The recent rapid decline in the population prompted the (environment) ministerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s determination that the species faces an imminent threat.

The intent to introduce an emergency order is the next step in protecting the species.â&#x20AC;?

This is the first time an emergency order has been invoked since the act was created in 2002, so it is unknown how it will affect private landowners and those who use crown land for grazing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What they (the federal government) did was, they made quite clear that it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t apply to private

lands, which is normal,â&#x20AC;? said Greg Northey, director of environment for the Canadian Federation of Agriculture.

Funding will be available under the Habitat Stewardship Program for landowners and stakeholders in protecting the sage grouse. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good thing that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sort of looking at agriculture and not applying the strictest of the prohibitions,â&#x20AC;?

Northey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The better things that they mention are incentive based programs such as the Habitat Steward Program. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll work with farmers for beneficial management practices and incentives for the conservation of the land.â&#x20AC;?

The program provides $9 to $13 million per year for projects that preserve and protect endangered species and their habitats.

The federal, Saskatchewan and Alberta governments, the Calgary Zoo and other stakeholders are providing more than $1 million in funding over the next three years on protection projects for the sage g ro u s e a n d o t h e r e n d a n g e re d species.

ACCIDENTS | SEATBELTS

Rollover simulator shows sad story What happens if you aren’t wearing seatbelts?

BY BARB GLEN

The rollover simulator shows people how passengers are thrown from a vehicle or crushed if they are not wearing seatbelts when the vehicle flips after hitting gravel, potholes or wildlife. | BARB GLEN PHOTOS

LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

The white, much-decaled pick-up truck rolled three times. Then a body flew out the driver’s side window and was squashed beneath the vehicle.

It was another casualty incurred by failure to buckle up.

Fortunately, the incident was a simulation involving a dummy, but it was nevertheless a graphic example of what can happen when drivers and passengers don’t wear seatbelts.

The new rollover simulator is an initiative of the Southwest Alberta Road Safety Society, with support from Safety City, Ag for Life and Lethbridge Exhibition Park.

Officially unveiled and demonstrated Sept. 12, the simulator will be on the road and at Lethbridge Exhibition events, targeting children in grades 6 to 12.

“In southwestern Alberta, on average there’s 31 people killed in preventable motor vehicle collisions annually. And there are 961 people injured seriously,” said Kevin Brandvold, regional traffic safety consultant for the Alberta traffic safety office.

Vibrant roots fuel better performance.

Crops thrive with Cruiser Maxx® Vibrance®. When the Vigor Trigger ® effect meets Rooting Power ™, you get enhanced crop establishment from stronger, faster-growing plants, above and below the ground. It also protects your wheat and barley crops against a broad range of insects and diseases and delivers best-in-class Rhizoctonia control.

KEVIN BRANDVOLD ALBERTA TRAFFIC SAFETY OFFICE

“Twenty-five percent to 30 percent or greater of those injuries and fatalities could be prevented simply by properly wearing a seatbelt. It’s such a simple thing. It takes two seconds and it will save your life.”

Brandvold said statistics show there are more motor vehicle fatalities in rural Alberta compared to urban areas, primarily because of higher speeds. Gravel, washboard, potholes and wildlife create additional hazards.

David Sprague, chief executive officer of Ag for Life, said the simulator will likely make an impression on those who see it in action.

“This rollover simulator that we’re launching today is really the perfect model for us to help show children and young adults in particular what can happen when you don’t drive as safely as you should and when you’re not belted in.

“I think this is very impactful. I think it’s behaviour changing.”

Alberta has three other simulators, all used by provincial government agencies. This one is smaller and more portable. Rural schools and events in southwestern Alberta will get priority in its use.

operations in Australia, which include four export terminals on the country’s west coast and nearly 200 collection facilities throughout Western Australia, the country’s largest wheat exporting state.

CBH is the largest exporter of wheat, barley and canola in Australia.

In 2011-12, it received more than 15 million tonnes of grain, much of which was exported to markets in Asia.

“As we all know, the Asian region is growing at a phenomenal pace and the demand for grain based products is increasing year on year,” said Jason Craig, the company’s general manager of marketing and trading.

“The Portland office will just enable us to further strengthen our trading and marketing relationships in the region and service our customer’s requirements with origination from multiple locations,” Craig said Asian demand for wheat is expected to increase by 11 million tonnes over the next five years.

Since the Australian wheat market was deregulated, the company has increased its customer base to include 260 buyers in more than 30 countries, he added.

CBH’s total grain exports of approximately 5.7 million tonnes in 2011-12 accounted for approximately 22 percent of Australia’s total exports in major grains and oilseeds.

PROCESSING | FIRST QUARTER

ConAgra warns on profit as frozen food, pasta sales decline (Reuters) — ConAgra Foods Inc. expects its current quarter profit to be well below estimates, hurt by a drop in sales of brands such as Marie Callender’s frozen meals and Chef Boyardee pasta.

The company’s products compete in highly competitive categories that are dominated by larger players such as Heinz and Kraft Foods Group Inc. The company also faces competition from lower-priced private label players.

ConAgra said first quarter sales in its consumer foods business, which sells meals, condiments, snacks and desserts, fell two percent as retailers sought cheaper options in the face of intense competition.

Chief executive officer Gary Rodkin said the company was taking action, such as investing in products and increasing promotional activity and merchandising to improve sales in the business.

“We currently expect that it will take some time to impact these trends, and therefore we expect consumer foods volume and operating profit to be soft through the second quarter,” Rodkin said.

The consumer business, which accounted for 60 percent of sales in the fiscal year that ended May 30, also includes brands such as ACT II popcorn, Slim Jim beef jerky and Pam cooking spray.

“We have long thought their prospects would be hindered because of their second and third tier brands, and we don’t expect that competitive pressures will abate materially over the near term,” said Morningstar analyst Erin Lash.

ConAgra Foods, which counts WalMart Stores Inc. among its customers, said it expects second quarter earnings to be 55 cents per share.

Analysts had expected a profit of 63 cents per share.

Sales in the first quarter rose 27 percent to $4.2 billion but missed the average analyst estimate of $4.29 billion, according to Thomson Reuters.

Net income fell 42 percent to $144.3 million, or 34 cents per share, in the quarter ended Aug. 25, from $250.1 million, or 61 cents per share, a year earlier.

Excluding items, it earned 37 cents per share, two cents below Wall Street’s expectations.

I guess I’m shy. I work full-time, have just bought a house which was a big responsibility. I’m tired of being alone. I have girlfriends who are paired off. I can see myself with someone who could be 40-45 years, never married and is seeking marriage and children. My parents would be happy if I was a farmer’s wife. They worked hard to make sure I was raised correctly and had a good education. I would love to be a wife and mother. I am loyal, stable, honest, too honest sometimes. I can put my foot in my mouth. I like movies, staying home. I guess I am a home body. I have a dog, so he would have to be ok with that. She is a good dog.

B.C. juice makers are playing with major leaguers Tabletree Industries | Gary and Susan Snow’s black cherry juice is winning industry acclaim

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Executives from the world’s major juice companies conferred last year in a quiet corner of a sophisticated convention spot in Barcelona, Spain.

Welch’s, Palm, Tropicana, Chiquita, Dole and PepsiCo were represented at the World Juice Conference, along with others from Europe and Africa that make and distribute fruit juice worldwide.

Also represented was Tabletree Industries of Creston, B.C., a mom and pop operation with a maximum output of 12,000 bottles per year.

And it was Tabletree that won the 2012 best pure juice product award, as judged by an international panel of experts who sampled its black cherry juice.

Tabletree owners Susan and Gary Snow will again be part of the event next month in Cologne, Germany.

Their red apple juice has been short listed for the 2013 best new nectar or juice award.

“The first year, we thought, ‘how wonderful that they’re helping out a small business.’ But to be nominated and then short listed for a second year for a different juice, we were just so floored,” Susan said.

Added Gary: “We were quite surprised last year, but this year we were astonished.”

The Snows started making apple juice last October with a process they invented themselves, using apples

they grew on their 18 acres of owned and leased land on the outskirts of Creston.

“It actually tastes like apple pie,” said Gary.

“It’s a really nice juice, really rich juice. All of our juices have just a tiny touch of honey and a tiny touch of cinnamon in them, so that’s why the apple pie.”

Tabletree has only a few thousand bottles of its red apple juice. The Snows planned to make more, but the popularity of the award-winning cherry juice diverted their attention.

They’ve been concentrating on cherries since starting operations in 2010. Susan’s family, the Truscotts, have a 100-year history of fruit growing in Creston, but the fruit juice business is relatively new.

“We kind of saw the writing on the wall way back five, six years ago, that the downfall of the fresh market was coming, so that’s why we looked at doing a value added,” said Susan.

The business won $150,000 in 2010 through the B.C. Innovation Council for its innovative juice technology, which gave Tabletree the boost it needed to flourish.

And flourish it has, in popularity if not in size.

Gary said the company recently had to reject an order for 100,000 bottles of cherry juice because the volume is beyond its scope.

“Now our problem is that we can’t make enough for the orders that we

have, so now we’re working on trying to increase our production or our facility,” Susan said.

Tabletree is a fixture at the Creston Farmers Market, and the cherry juice can also be found throughout British Columbia, at some Calgary and Lethbridge stores and in a few Ontario locations. It is not available on Saskatchewan or Manitoba shelves, but it can be ordered through the company website.

Gary said researchers have told them the cherry juice has anti-

inflammatory properties. It’s nothing that can be put on a label, but customers have said it helps their arthritis, in addition to its tastiness.

“We even give it to our 15-year-old dog. He’s a cherry junkie. He’ll come and get us when he wants cherry juice and lead us out to the kitchen.

He has a special bowl for cherry juice.”

Although they don’t advertise their farm as a retail outlet, a few people also come up the driveway every day, looking for juice.

Gary and Susan will be leaving for Cologne shortly. The awards will be presented Oct. 3 and if the juice wins, they expect to be on the phone all night, spreading the news, as they were able to do last year.

“It’s getting very exciting,” said Susan.

“We’re at a point now where the world is waking up to us, and that’s pretty exciting. And it’s nice that it’s putting Canada on the map and B.C. and also our little town of Creston, too.”

ENVIRONMENT | CLIMATE CHANGE

Global warming hiatus unlikely to last, says draft UN report Warming trend to resume | Report offers explanations for documented slowdown in global warming OSLO, Nor way (Reuters) — A recent hiatus in global warming is partly caused by natural variations in a chaotic climate and is unlikely to last, says a draft United Nations report by leading climate scientists.

The 127-page draft and a shorter summary for policymakers say factors including a haze of volcanic ash and a cyclical dip in energy emitted from the sun may also have contributed to a slower warming trend.

It’s vital that governments explain the reasons for the hiatus. They have promised to act on a UN deal to limit temperature rises by 2015, largely by shifting from fossil fuel.

France recently called for bolder European Union cuts in greenhouse gases and said it would halve its own energy consumption by 2050.

The fact that temperatures have risen more slowly in the past 15 years, despite rising emissions of greenhouse gases, has emboldened skeptics who challenge the evidence for man-made climate change and

question the need for urgent action.

However, the draft reports from the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change do not project a long-term respite. Instead, they forecast a resumption in the warming trend, which is likely to cause more heat waves, droughts, floods and rising sea levels.

“Barring a major volcanic eruption, most 15-year global mean surface temperature trends in the near-term future will be larger than during 1998-2012,” according to the technical summary dated June 7.

Temperatures will likely be 0.3 to 0.7 C higher from 2016-35 than from 1986-2005, it says. The reports, updating an overview of climate change from 2001, are the main guide for government action.

“Fifteen-year-long hiatus periods are common” in both historical records and in computer models, the technical summary said.

However, scientists were caught out: in one computer model, 111 of

114 estimates over-stated recent temperature rises.

The drafts predict that temperatures could rise by up to 4.8 C this century, far above a ceiling set by governments of 2 C above pre-industrial times to avoid dangerous changes to nature and society.

Deep cuts in greenhouse gas emissions could keep the rise to just 0.3 C, the draft added.

Many experts agree that natural variations in the weather, caused by factors such as shifts in ocean currents or winds, can mask a warming trend even with a continued buildup of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. “(The hiatus) is not a sign that the warming trend has gone,” said Guy Brasseur, director of the Climate Service Center in Germany.

He said the climate was comparable to Wall Street, which often has long-term trends with unpredictable daily swings.

Brasseur and other experts contacted were stating their own views

rather than referring to details of the coming report.

“There are a number of explanations (for the hiatus), any one of which might be correct,” said professor Myles Allen of Oxford University, who contributed to the IPCC draft.

“That is very different from saying, ‘we have no idea what’s going on.’ “ The drafts said that a reduction in warming for 1998-2012 compared to 1951-2012 is “due in roughly equal measure” to natural variations in the climate and factors such as “volcanic eruptions and the downward phase of the current solar cycle.”

Volcanoes spew ash into the air that can dim sunlight and cool the surface of the planet. The sun was in a downward cycle of output during most of the period, meaning it was emitting less energy.

The technical summary said that warming from 1998-2012 slowed to 0.05 C per decade compared to 0.12 per decade from 1951-2012. However, the decade to 2012 was the warm-

est since records began in the mid19th century.

The summary said another factor could be that computer models consistently over estimate warming. Some experts argued that nearterm projections of temperature rises should be cut by 10 percent, it said.

Other theories include that more heat is going into the oceans or that air pollution is dimming sunlight.

An academic report from earlier this summer said a cooling of the Pacific Ocean, linked to natural La Nina events that bring cooler waters to the surface, was the main explanation.

The IPCC draft also said the planet may be less sensitive than expected to a buildup of carbon dioxide in the air.

A doubling of atmospheric carbon dioxide levels from pre-industrial times is likely to mean an eventual temperature rise of 1.5 to 4.5 C, down from 2 to 4.5 C estimated in 2007, it said.

FARM POLICY | AID PROGRAMS

Canada’s subsidy plans earn praise

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

The United Nations has estimated that $750 billion worth of food is wasted each year and recommends changes in how food is produced, gathered, processed and transported. | FILE PHOTO UNITED NATIONS | FOOD WASTE

International food waste costs add up $750 billion annually | Waste from production higher in developing countries, says UN report

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

An estimated 1.3 billion tonnes of food are wasted annually in a world where more than 800 million people are counted as chronically hungry or malnourished, says the United Nations.

The UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization said in a September report that wasted food costs at least $750 billion annually.

The volume of water used to create it would be the equivalent of a major river’s annual flow.

The FAO said it was the first compre-

hensive estimate on the amount and cost of food waste and spoilage, whether through uneaten food in restaurants, food spoilage or harvest losses.

“All of us, farmers and fishers, food processors and supermarkets, local and national governments, individual consumers, must make changes at every link of the human food chain to prevent food wastage from happening in the first place and re-use or recycle it when we can’t,” FAO director-general José Graziano da Silva said in the report.

“We simply cannot allow one-third of all the food we produce to go to waste or be lost because of inappro-

priate practices, when 870 million people go hungry every day.”

The FAO is promoting a worldwide campaign of better food management, storage, transportation and harvesting to reduce losses and spoilage.

In some Canadian cities, community food organizations give thousands of tonnes of unused produce from restaurants and grocery stores to food banks or institutions.

According to the report, 54 percent of the world’s food waste occurs during production, post-harvest handling and storage and the remainder happens at the processing, distribution and consumption stages.

The further up the food processing chain, the greater the economic and environmental damage caused by food waste and spoilage because of the added impact of processing, transportation and retail storage, said the report.

“As a general trend, developing countries suffer more food losses during agricultural production, while food waste at the retail and consumer level tends to be higher in middle- and high-income regions, where it accounts for 31 to 39 percent of total wastage,” said the FAO. Germany funded the report, which was published in mid-September.

UNITED NATIONS | FOOD WASTE

United Nations report showcases need for new policy, practice

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The head of the Saskatchewan based Global Institute for Food Security says food wastage numbers contained in a United Nations report highlight the need for change.

The study, conducted by the Food and Agriculture Organization, was intended to calculate food waste and its impact on the world’s non-renewable resources including land and water, as well as its contributions to global climate change.

It says resources used to produce, process, package, transport and market food that is eventually wasted emit the equivalent of 3.3 billion tonnes of greenhouse gases or GHGs each year.

“It’s frankly not acceptable,” said Ernie Barber, chief operating officer at the University of Saskatchewan’s Global Institute for Food Security.

“We’ve got a challenge to feed the world, so we can’t afford to waste what we produce.”

The UN study estimated the wastage of food that is suitable for human consumption. It did not include crops deemed unsuitable for human consumption or crops that are intended for use as animal feed or by industrial users.

The report also examined losses and waste for different types of foods including meat, fruits, vegetables and cereal grains.

Measured in total tonnes, global wastage is highest in cereal grains with roughly 300 million tonnes of edible material, primarily rice, wasted each year in the world.

Total wastage in vegetables, starchy roots and fruits is also high, accounting for a combined 750 million tonnes of wastage per year.

Food wastage can occur at various stages in the supply chain, including harvest, storage, handling, processing, distribution and consumption.

According to the report, waste at the consumer level is highest in middle and high-income countries.

In Canada, the United States, Australia and New Zealand, for example, about 40 percent of all wasted food is caused by poor consumer habits, inefficient retail strategies and failure to use perishable products before they deteriorate or expire.

According to Barber, upstream losses — those encountered during harvest and storage — are relatively low in Canada.

“In Canada … the biggest losses in the food system are actually at wholesale, retail and in the homes of consumers,” he said.

Barber pointed to grain industry innovation such as yield loss monitors, grain bin monitors and improved storage practices as examples of steps taken to reduce food losses in Canada.

Additional research would reduce losses even further, including the development of new crop varieties that are less prone to spoilage during transportation and the adoption of improved sorting systems that would

ensure crops suitable for human consumption are fully used, he added.

The FAO also published these recommendations on how global food wastage can be reduced: • Adopt improved post harvest and storage technologies.

• Institute awareness campaigns aimed at changing consumer behaviours related to food preparation and shopping practices.

• Change retail practices at supermarkets and restaurants, including reduced portion sizes and more effective pricing strategies on imperfect, perishable or expired food items.

• Donate more unused food or expired food products to charities or other user groups.

• Reduce dependence on expiry dates that can result in tonnes of edible foods being discarded annually.

• Use food no longer fit for humans to feed animals, including livestock.

Falling crop prices may be making farmers uneasy, but the decision by Canadian governments to slash future farm supports has won international praise.

The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development says many countries are increasing agricultural subsidies after years of decline, but Canada has sharply cut supports over the years and they remain stable.

In a report published last week, it praises Conservative government deregulation and market-oriented policy changes.

Federal and provincial agriculture ministers agreed last year to significantly reduce potential benefits from AgriStability and AgriInvest programs.

Canada’s Producer Subsidy Equivalent (PSE) as a percentage of farmer income has dropped significantly in the past 25 years, and Canada remains on the low end of OECD country calculations.

Government payments contributed 15 percent of overall farm income in 2010-12 compared to 36 percent a quarter century ago.

“Overall, producer support has significantly decreased since 1986-88, and the majority of agricultural markets are competitive,” said the report.

“Approaches to support policies have become firmly established, and most reforms in the past decade have involved fine-tuning existing prog r a m s, a l t h o u g h t h e re c e n t l y announced five-year new policy framework stresses a more proactive and strategic programming approach towards innovation, competitiveness and adaptability of the sector.”

The OECD report said recent federal-provincial decisions to cut business risk management program support “is a favourable step to reduce program overlapping and enhance proactive risk management by farmers.”

The OECD, an organization of developed countries with a strong preference for pro-market economic policies, said Canada could create stricter rules around use of ad hoc farm support programs that could be better handled through existing programs.

It praised the Conservative decision to end the CWB single desk and change the Canadian Grain Commission mandate as “positive steps to enhance market orientation of the grain policy.”

And as usual, the OECD found the government’s continued support of protectionist, price-setting supply management offensive to its free market principles. It suggested expansion of production beyond domestic needs as a solution.

“The dairy, poultry and egg sectors continue to receive high price support, distorting production and trade and establishing high rents capitalized in the quotas established under the supply management system,” said the report.

“Increasing the amount of quota available would improve market orientation and reduce these rents which currently act as a barrier to entry into supply managed sectors.”

Russia prepares to buy its own grain to boost stocks Last year’s drought has depleted supplies MOSCOW (Reuters) — Russia, one of the world’s top wheat exporters, is preparing to buy grain on the domestic market in line with its restocking campaign, an agricultural ministry representative said Sept. 20.

The move signalled increased competition with exporters.

Russia is looking to rebuild depleted stocks after last year’s drought slashed its wheat crop by a third.

The representative said only preparations for making purchases would start Sept. 20 rather than actual buying.

NEWS

“Purchases will start soon,” the official said, not disclosing which grains would be bought and in which regions.

The ministry has said it plans to buy up to six million tonnes of grain during the 2013-14 marketing year.

The government’s restocking campaign, which the ministry called interventions, is likely to boost demand for grain, whose prices are already supported by a late harvest, concerns over a lack of high quality wheat and a delayed winter grain seeding campaign.

Weekly U.S. wheat exports the highest since 1990 Wheat buyers | Increased demand from China and Brazil unlikely to last (Reuters) — U.S. exporters loaded and shipped more wheat to global buyers in mid-September than it has in at least the past 23 years.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture said most of the grain headed for China and Brazil.

Exporters shipped 1.204 million tonnes of U.S. wheat in the week ended Sept. 12, including 406,700 tonnes of mostly soft red winter

wheat and white wheat to China and 186,400 tonnes of hard red winter wheat to Brazil.

Both countries’ import needs rose this year after adverse weather damaged their domestic crops. Brazil’s needs were further bolstered by weather damage to the crop in Argentina, its largest supplier.

However, the accelerated shipments were expected and were not likely to

Viterra.ca/fuel

persist because other global suppliers should be able to meet a larger share of demand in the coming months.

“It’s mostly Brazil and China, and we know that once these countries finish their demand, there’s not much following,” said Dan Basse, president of AgResource Co. “The Chinese needed the wheat for blending because their crop was of diminished quality, with some loss.

They are showing a little more interest now in the Australian market, which is where they should be.”

Brazil has already bought more U.S. wheat this season than any year since the mid-1980s, and millers there continue to make almost daily price inquiries, U.S. traders said. Their latest purchases have been for October shipment.

However, wheat from Argentina’s next harvest was expected to begin flooding the market by the end of this year, so U.S. shipments to the country are expected to drop.

U.S. wheat export sales in the current marketing year totalled more than 17 million tonnes, up 38 percent from the same point last year.

The USDA is forecasting total U.S. wheat exports at 29.94 million tonnes, a 9.2 percent year-on-year increase.

Season-to-date shipments from the world’s top wheat exporter are 37 percent higher than a year ago.

GRAIN STORAGE | DRYING

Night only grain drying draws rebuttal from researchers

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Leading grain storage researchers hope to bury the night-drying-only theory at a Sept. 27 seminar at the University of Manitoba.

The researchers will argue that not only does the approach work worse than other grain drying systems but also leaves crops poorly dried in normal prairie weather.

“It was found that the (fan on only during the night) control strategy gave very poor drying results in comparison to other control strategies, especially the inability to complete the drying cycle in the required time,” says an abstract of the presentation to be given by Chandra B. Singh, a biosystems engineer and grain storage

expert who works for OPIsystems, Inc., a provider of drying technology.

Singh, who has published a paper to refute the night drying strategy with researcher Ronald Larson and U of M vice-president for research Digvir Jayas, said it works only as long as the grain being dried is hotter than the air temperature, which doesn’t last long. Singh’s research has concluded that it is the worst method when compared to the other main systems.

In an email response, Jayas said farmers often find it difficult to complete drying before winter, and drying only at night makes it harder.

“Controlling (the) drying process by a simple rule of night time drying only could potentially result in failure of drying and spoilage of grain and a farmer may be left with

a significant loss.”

He said if farmers want to set up a simple method, they could leave the properly sized fan on continuously to ensure drying without spoilage, but he added it would not be cost-effective and grain may be over dried.

Drying only at night doesn’t fit the view of mainstream drying experts.

However, the idea was popularized in 2012 when research engineer Ron Palmer argued that hot day air can carry more moisture into a stored grain crop than it removes, while cold night air is drier and will remove more moisture from the grain. He argued farmers should often be running only aeration systems at night.

Chandra, Singh and Larson argue in their paper that this is not a new concept, having been promoted by

another researcher in the United States in 2003.

However, the earlier version called for grain to be repeatedly heated to allow night air drying to occur.

They argue that the reheating could damage grain, while using only cold night air becomes ineffective once the grain cools.

Traditional and sophisticated modern methods do a much better job of uniform drying and quality protection, they say.

When using average temperatures and moisture for the last week of September and first week of October near Indian Head, Sask., which are prime harvested grain drying days, the researchers found that hotter day air often had a better drying effect than cold night air because the cold

air was less able to absorb moisture.

They concluded that a system based on “equilibrium moisture content” of the air rather than arbitrary daytime or nighttime preferences worked best to evenly dry grain with little loss.

Jayas added in his email that the drying at night only theory has not been validated scientifically and the research work has not been published in peer reviewed literature.

“From our experience, we know that it is going to fail in many cases.

The bins used were not practical and had much higher airflow rates. It is practically difficult to get 1.5 cfm/bu. airflow in larger farm bins (e.g., 48 foot bin) so with night only drying grain would not reach the target moisture.”

RESEARCH | PROJECT FUNDING

Funding for reputable U of S research leaders advances technology, province: ag minister

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

The federal and provincial governments have renewed five-year funding commitments for strategic research chairs at the University of Saskatchewan.

Thirteen chairs will share $17.25 million and focus on crop genetic improvement, livestock development, food and bioproducts devel-

opment, and soil and environment.

“There are many individual projects within those broad parameters,” said Saskatchewan agriculture minister Lyle Stewart.

He announced earlier this year that a forage chair would be added to the program.

The name of the scientist heading the forage program is expected to be released within the next month.

Each chair includes a scientist and

a technician. The chairs are expected to attract additional project funding from public and private sources to support their particular interests.

The strategic research program was implemented in 1986 and operates on five-year agreements. A recent KPMG evaluation found that the research programs produce $9 in benefits to producers for every dollar the province invested.

Stewart said he believes the research

chair approach works because there is enough money to attract good researchers.

“They have reputations, they’re well known and they’re known to be expert in their field. They attract other scientists to work on projects.”

Stewart said the program has been critical in advancing technology in this province.

“These researchers help ensure that Saskatchewan has the capacity

and depth to develop new agriculture knowledge and technologies that are relevant to our specific soil and climate,” he said.

The money comes from the Growing Forward 2 program and is costshared 60-40 by Ottawa and Regina.

Karen Chad, the University of Saskatchewan’s vice-president for research, said in a news release that the funding ensures the university remains a hub of ag research in Canada.

The Teamco slurry cart has fully independent suspension on all eight wheels, with 16 inches of travel. Components can be either stainless steel or aluminum. This is one of the few big carts built with the tank independent of the frame, meaning the tank can be removed without cutting metal. | RON LYSENG PHOTOS EQUIPMENT | MANURE

Here’s the full poop on a new cart design Big slurry tankers | Top out at more than 100,000 pounds so there’s no room for slop in the steering and suspension RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

GUELPH, Ont. — The tanker industry concedes it has maxed out sizewise with its latest generation of big slurry carts, so now it’s time to make effluent more efficient.

One of the best ways to quantify tanker efficiency is to count the number of round trips or the number of gallons moved per shift. If tankers have hit their maximum size, then the next logical step in their evolution is to make them cycle faster.

Industry reps talk about better brakes, better suspension and better steering when they discuss shorter cycle time and higher transit speed.

Those factors are driving their engineering departments to design safer tankers.

They also wrestle with compaction, says Dave Rose of Jamesway Farm Equipment.

Jamesway, one of the leading manufacturers of manure handling equipment in Eastern Canada, has products for every type of manure management situation.

“Once you’re in the field, compaction is the biggest issue farmers have with moving liquid manure by tanker cart,” said Rose.

The fully loaded Jamesway UltraTrac four-axle tanker has a 23 pound per sq. inch footprint on the soil, he added Rubber tracks have received a lot of attention recently as a way to alleviate soil compaction, but Rose doubted they would work on a slurry tanker.

“For one thing, once you’re at this

size, you need all four axles to be steerable. How could you do that with tracks,” he said.

“With eight tire steering, we don’t get any smearing or ridging in the headlands.”

In the field, the Jamesway trailer works the same as other big four-axle units. In a left hand turn, the front tires steer left, into the corner. The rear tires steer out, to the right, to bring the tail end around.

Steering input on the Jamesway tanker is independent of the tractor driver. Once the trailer is hooked up, it steers itself with two large tire rods pivoting left and right on a steering plate on the hitch.

If the tractor turns left, the left tie rod is pushed rearward to make all eight tires steer in the correct direction.

“We have independent hydraulic suspension on all eight wheels,” he said. “You charge the closed circuit once with the tractor. When it’s 50 percent full with oil, you close it off.

Then disconnect the line from the tractor and you’re ready to go. The suspension cylinders on each side of the trailer are linked. If you have to cross a ditch at an angle, the suspension walks itself through.

One wheel at a time drops down into the low spot while the other three wheels go up. The four wheels compensate for each other. The same thing is happening on the other side at the same time. There’s no accumulator. Just two independent circuits.

Each wheel has 15 inches of vertical travel.”

The system also lifts the front two trailer tires during empty transit and

transfers weight front to rear to put the optimal load on the tractor.

The brakes are hydraulic, running off the tractor’s auxiliary braking port. The trailer brakes are activated when the operator hits the tractor brakes and are powered by the tractor’s hydraulic system for maximum stopping power.

The brake pad surface is 550 percent larger than the industry standard, and the disc surface is 65 percent larger.

“One other technical feature we have is a full frame,” Rose said.

“Our engineers say that using the tank itself as the frame will weaken the tank. So we build an independent frame and then bolt the tank on top of it.”

CLOCKWISE, FROM TOP LEFT: The Teamco cart employs hydraulic steering at the hitch. A swivel arm sends left/right steering signals directly to a hydraulic master cylinder, which then pushes oil to steering cylinders on the cart.

Note the front left tire is lifted off the ground.

Steering input on the Ultra-Trac comes from a mechanical link to the hitch. As the tractor turns left, the left tie rod is pushed back, steering the front tires left and the rear tires right to bring the tail end of the tanker out and around.

At the rear of the tanker, mechanical steering from the front of the unit is converted into a hydraulic steering system.

Steering on each set of tires is controlled by the hydraulic cylinder on the driver’s side, linked to the passenger side with a massive, square tube tie rod.

Hydraulic brakes are plumbed into system for maximum response and pressure. A dual-caliper system with pressure-limiting hydraulics is available.

Pascal LeClerc, global sales director for Teamco, which manufactures high-end tanks in Quebec, said it becomes clear once tanks have reached four axles and 9,500 U.S. gallons that new efficiency will have to come from building a better tanker rather than a bigger one.

He said features on his company’s machines include a closed-circuit

hydraulic steering system that eliminates most of the mechanical components that cause bad handling.

“This is a unique hydraulic steering system that makes our trailer very safe. You align it only once a year. It stays in alignment better than those mechanical systems with the big metal rods and ball joints,” he said.

“We have a single hydraulic cylin-

der that moves oil back and forth to the steering cylinders on the four axles. It won’t wobble going down the road and it adjusts itself automatically if necessary. It handles very well compared to the steering and suspension on other tankers.”

LeClerc said the tanker also has independent, hydraulically controlled suspension for all eight tires.

Each wheel has a 16 inch stroke, which not only provides a smoother ride but also helps the tractor driver keep control on rough roads because the tires stay in contact with the surface instead of bouncing up and down.

He said the hydraulic suspension lets the operator manipulate the fore/aft weight of the tanker for an

optimal weight on the tractor hitch.

When running back to the lagoon empty, the operator lifts the front pair of tires off the ground to allow faster speed.

Agitating, pumping and applying liquid manure is an expensive process because the slurry is more like lumpy oatmeal than a genuine liquid. BactZyme applied to the lagoon is supposed to clear up lumps and turn the slurry into a true liquid, thus cutting the cost of handling the manure. | RON LYSENG PHOTO MANURE | MANAGEMENT

Extra enzymes enhance slurry efficiency Adding new bugs | BactZyme bonds phosphorus and nitrates to soil, resulting in a 30 percent yield increase in the field

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

GUELPH, Ont. — Farmers who apply slurry to supplement commercial fertilizers could produce 30 percent more crop with the help of a new biological agent.

BactZyme Manure Pit Treatment was initially developed in California to help dairy farmers comply with strict legislation regulating the leeching of nitrates and phosphorous, said Andrew Flokstra of StarGro Products in Chilliwack, B.C., which imports the product into Canada.

Flokstra was at Manure Expo in Guelph last month to show Canadian dairy and hog producers how BactZyme ties up nitrates and phosphorus in the soil, thus preventing them from leaching into natural water tables and the atmosphere.

He said the California experience found that crops grown with BactZyme in the slurry also showed a 30 percent yield benefit.

“The high levels of nitrates and phosphorus in liquid manure easily volatize into the environment when the slurry is applied to a field,” said Flokstra, adding that the elements

escape into water tables as well as the atmosphere.

“BactZyme simply lets these components bond to soil particles so they’re available to crop roots later.

The concept is a lot like a slowrelease fertilizer.”

Flokstra said untreated slurry can burn crops because of the immediate availability of too much ammonia.

Slurry treated with BactZyme releases manure-bound nutrients slowly so crop burn is averted.

Although the product was designed as a way to stop manure elements from contaminating the environment, Flokstra said there was a surprise side-effect.

“Crop yields increased by 30 percent when BactZyme was added to the slurry,” he said.

“Because the slurry now holds more of the phosphorus and nitrates in the soil, it’s available to the roots.”

Flokstra said slurry is typically a thick lumpy oatmeal-like pudding that does not flow easily when aerating the lagoon or pumping out for field application.

He said BactZyme turns dairy and hog slurry into more of a liquid, much like cream of wheat, which makes it easier to pump and easier to

apply uniformly on the field with less plugging of the lines. As well, the operator spends less money on diesel because the slurry flows through the pumps easier.

Flokstra said the enzyme also makes it easier to irrigate with liquid slurry because of the improved flow characteristics.

As well, the slurry soaks into the soil quicker so there’s no manure caking on the surface.

The product should be applied to the lagoon each time it’s pumped out. A total pump-out is preferable, but it’s usually not possible for the first treatment.

Applying the product after a regular pump-out is acceptable.

depriving the lagoon owner of the pit’s total capacity.

Flokstra said producers find they can pump right down to the bottom of the lagoon after repeated BactZyme treatments.

“The shock treatment we give when a lagoon is near empty will overwhelm the remaining manure with our new enzymes,” he said.

“Then we add on a regular basis when we start pumping manure in again. We recommend once a week or once every two weeks.”

Regular application ensures active enzymes are working on every stratified layer, he said.

“Some people have added BactZyme when the level is high, but then you don’t get bacteria working down at the lower levels.”

BactZyme is packaged as a water soluble powder, which can be dumped directly into the pit at the point where the slurry arrives.

Flokstra said the natural liquid movement in the lagoon uniformly moves the bacteria to all parts of the lagoon, even in 120 foot diameter lagoons.

He said naturally occurring bacteria are held in check by other organisms found in manure, which try to

maintain a natural balance. The job of designer enzyme such as BactZyme is to upset the balance so that the manure can break down and become more manageable.

The BactZyme enzyme has been deliberately selected and enhanced to function in a slurry pit environment.

Flokstra said it’s necessary to continue applying the commercial product because each succeeding generation of the special enzyme slowly reverts back to its normal wild state after 10 applications of BactZyme.

Each new generation of BactZyme becomes less able to handle the job for which it was designed as it returns to its ancestral roots.

Flokstra said BactZyme enzymes reproduce quickly, especially in warmer weather, when they are so active they create a bubbling effect that reduces surface caking.

The product also functions in Canadian winter weather but not as effectively.

He said BactZyme is a living organism and should never be frozen.

Robotics and precision agriculture tools might dominate dairy trade show events, but small items are often the most interesting to producers.

Dairy supply company DeLaval has a new design for a milker liner. Called the Clover, it replaces traditional triangular liners that don’t allow for complete teat contact in the corners.

The units are aimed at animals with

short to average length teats. The large, rounded corners of the Clover allow milk to flow more freely, while the thin side walls make it possible for greater flexibility during teat massage.

The company says the units allow for faster milking and complete milk out, and promote good teat health.

They are good for 2,500 milkings or 150 washes, whichever comes first.

General Motors’ Ecotec 3 engine offers pulling power GETTING AROUND

CHARLES RENNY

G

eneral Motors is the last of the big three Detroit vehicle manufacturers to redo their light truck line. Sales have slowed due to the knowledge that an all-new truck would be available soon.

Ecotec 3 is the name of the new generation of engines at GM. Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra will have engine choices pared down to three from several. All three are more powerful and considerably more fuel efficient than the engines they replace due to variable valve timing, revamped fuel injection and cylinder deactivation.

Power doesn’t suffer. The standard 4.3 litre V6 produces 285 horsepower and 305 pound feet of torque, while the optional 5.3 litre aluminum V8 puts out 355 h.p. and 383 lb. ft torque.

At the top is the mega motor 6.2 litre V8 with 420 horsepower and 480 lb. ft. torque.

Towing capacity starts at 7,200 lb. with the V6 and rises up to 11,500 lb. with the 5.3 litre and then climbs to 12,000 lb. when equipped with the 6.2 litre V8. The only transmission available is the 6L80 six-speed automatic, which is available with hill decent control, as well as a tow haul mode.

Silverado will have the most trim variations and starts at $25,540 for a regular cab. The double cab four– door version starts at $29,435. Crew cabs with four large doors make up about 60 percent of sales volume, and start at $30,995. Within these cab choices are box length choices, choices between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive, as well as seven different trim levels.

The first driving impression is of how quiet the interior is at any speed.

The second is how good the brake pedal feels under braking of all types, with and without a trailer. After that, the brain wakes up to a cacophony of change.

Put a load in the back or hook to a trailer, it makes little difference to the 5.3 litre V8 when equipped with a trailer towing package. A driver will know that there is a load, but it tows so well with the sway control that many will not realize how much weight is back there.

Hill decent, tow haul mode and four large disc brakes will keep control while driving.

Due to the size of the crew cab, getting around in town requires patience

and a bit of skill to park something of this size.

Backing up is easy thanks to large mirrors and the rear parking sensors.

A back-up camera is available as part of the “My Link” system.

Unless the new trucks are placed beside a previous generation, there aren’t a lot of obvious changes to the wheel wells or the fact that on the crew cab the door pillar has been moved ahead six or seven centimetres to make it easier to get in and out of the rear seat. Sharp observers might notice that Xenon headlamps are available in redesigned front ends and that the back ends have been changed as well.

WOODSTOCK, Ont. — Producers often say part of farming’s appeal is that it gives them a direct, working relationship with land and livestock.

However, some farm chores are best not tackled by people.

The first robots began to handle commercial milking on dairy farms about 12 years.

Earlier this month, half a dozen

companies were offering milking equipment at Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show in Woodstock, Ont., and many more were selling barn automation equipment and computerized tools.

One of them was DeLaval of Sweden, which sells dairy production tools. Earlier this month it sold its 10,000th robotic milking parlour to a farm near Fergus, Ont. Company representative Mark Futcher said robotics improve not

only the lives of farmers but also those of the cattle.

“The ideal group size for a dairy farm is one cow. All attention is on that animal, we ensure that it gets everything it needs to make the most milk possible and be as healthy and productive over the long term as it can be,” he said.

“Automatic milking allows cows to be the individuals they can be, on their schedule.”

Futcher said the return on investment is 2.5 to three minutes per milking per cow, three times a day, which adds up when 60 to 65 cows are milked per robot.

“The first discussion we had about automated milking took place back in 1980 and the first VMS (robotic system) was installed in 1999,” he said.

“The first market acceptance was with the early adopters and then it expanded to be something that most farms want to have, and (they) trust will make them more efficient.”

He said producers often don’t put enough value on their time.

“If they weren’t putting that time into jobs that machines can do, they need to ask themselves what else they could be doing on or off the farm.”

Amanda Den Haan and her family bought the 10,000th DeLaval system.

She said the family anticipates spending the same amount of time in the barn after the robot is installed, but it will be on a more human-friendly schedule and will allow more time for family activities and hobbies.

Parlours in Canada typically sit idle most of the day because of smaller herd sizes. Allowing animals to self milk and feed at will means producers make better use of those parlours.

Canadian farmers typically sanitize and wash the parlour three times a day and then open it to cows for milking on the animals’ schedules.

Managing a cow as an individual has positive outcome for milk yields and feed efficiency and extends beyond the robotic arms and feed wagons.

Data collection from each animal while it milks allows producers to accurately track production and alerts farmers if animals fall outside of their typical range. It also lets producers manage production in a realtime environment.

Peter Langenbeeke, who heads up the Dutch firm Lely in North America, said the Canadian dairy farming business is one of the most profitable and stable in the world. Producers here are known for their practical investment in their genetics and dairy farm infrastructure.

“When we started out 20 years ago, we focused on (robotic) milking (and) we quickly realized that there was far more we could do to reduce intervention with the cattle and make farms more labour efficient.”

Both companies have expanded barn automation to include feeding and manure management, as well as data collection and administration.

“Robots offer consistency, and that benefits animals and people,” Langenbeeke said.

“Automation allows for better use of investments in the farm.”

New chicken barns in Manitoba will move to open housing in 2015

B.C. towns target GM products

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

All new chicken barns in Manitoba will use open housing after Jan. 1, 2015, Manitoba Egg Farmers has announced.

The move is expected to increase the cost of building barns, but peregg production costs should be the same.

“I find very few differences in the birds’ productivity, livability, feed conversion, water consumption,” said farmer Kurt Siemens, whose flock is already 25 percent converted to “enriched” or “furnished” cages.

“It’s all almost identical.”

The association announced the moratorium on new battery cage barns Sept. 13. No mandatory phase-out date is included in the policy, which will allow existing barns to continue operating until they need to be replaced.

Farmers will be able to use a variety of different systems in new barns, including free range and organic systems. However, the main commercial producers will probably use enriched cage systems, which put laying hens together in a cage that contains a nesting area, perches and nail filing bars, with a bigger per-bird space allotment.

Farmers who build new barns with enriched systems receive a special four cents per dozen levy rebate to ease the cost of installing them. Eggs from open-housed hens aren’t

offered in stores at higher prices.

“Currently there is nothing at retail that gives them that premium,” said Manitoba Egg Producers communications director Brenda Bazylewski.

Siemens said it costs 20 to 25 percent more to build barns w ith enriched cages, so the levy rebate helps lessen the impact.

“It’s set up for early adopters just to get them going,” said Siemens.

Fifteen Manitoba producers comprising 11 percent of provincial production now use open systems. The province’s supply management system produces 59 million dozen eggs per year from 2.3 million hens.

Manitoba Egg Producers represents farmers who operate within the supply management system. Small producers are allowed to operate outside of supply management, but are limited in their production.

Farmer Ed Kleinsasser said Manitoba egg producers accept that battery cages are becoming unacceptable with consumer concerns about animal welfare, so there has been little opposition within egg circles to making the transition.

However, a forced conversion date isn’t planned because farmers with new barns can’t afford to retrofit barns they have recently built using old systems.

“I’m not sure you could do it at 10 years,” said Kleinsasser.

“It just wouldn’t make business sense to do that kind of thing.”

‘GM free zones’ | Initiative launched to ban GM plants and animals

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

A resolution by British Columbia municipalities to prohibit the production of genetically modified plants and animals in the province would be difficult if not impossible to implement.

The Union of B.C. Municipalities passed the resolution at its convention Sept. 19, directing its board to ask the provincial government to prohibit importing, exporting and growing plants and seeds containing GMOs. Morelea Milne, a councillor from Metchosin, B.C., who brought forward the motion, said Sept. 22 that she knows the challenges.

“It’s a statement of intent. It’s more symbolic at the moment. I certainly hope that the government would listen to us and listen to the concerns.”

The resolution now goes to the provincial government for consideration, and Milne said she would discuss it with agriculture minister Pat Pimm.

As well, she said a similar resolution will be brought to the Federation of Canadian Municipalities next year.

Groups opposed to GM products praised passage of the resolution, while biotechnology proponents criticized it.

“Our understanding is that the gov-

ernment of B.C. understands that these are federally regulated products, and it’s not within their jurisdiction to declare B.C. a GMO free zone,” said Janice Tranberg, western Canadian vice-president for CropLife Canada.

“They also understand that under the Farm Practices Protection Act — the right to farm act —they do not have the legal authority to instruct a farmer on what they can or cannot grow on their farm.”

Lucy Sharratt, co-ordinator of the Canadian Biotechnology Action Network, said the resolution is a sign of public unease with GM plants and animals.

“This is a move that really does reflect the strong concern in B.C. communities about GE crops and animals,” Sharratt said.

“We haven’t seen the type of response from the federal and provincial governments that we think is needed, but here we actually see municipal governments in B.C. taking up the concerns that people have and addressing them in a serious way, which is a very positive step.”

B.C. Agriculture Council chair Rhonda Driediger said the organization has members on both sides of the GM question, but all agree rules must be based on science and safety, which are the respective domains of

the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and Health Canada.

“As a provincial representative of agriculture, we have to look at whether rules are science based and not just based on someone’s emotions or opinion.”

Driediger said municipal governments can have opinions on biotechnology, but that doesn’t change anything.

“I mean, you can declare your city nuclear free but there is no way of enforcing that.”

BCAC executive director Reg Ens said the economics of the proposal would have to be explored even if B.C. had jurisdiction over the matter.

Restrictions on movement of food could put some agricultural operations at risk.

The CBAN said in a news release that 14 B.C. municipalities have already declared themselves to be GM free zones.

“Without real regulation at the federal level, and without any real consultation with farmers and consumers, we see people asking for this type of ban. No one else is addressing these types of concerns.”

B.C. farmers grow GM crops, and Tranberg said they have found value in biotechnology. Regulations are designed to ensure they are safe, she added.

Genomics testing boosts heifer sales Selling by the numbers | Dairy producers say gene-linked traits are the biggest industry advancement since freezing semen

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

PONOKA, Alta. — It was an eightmonth old Holstein heifer that didn’t even attend the Morsan Farms sale that brought top dollar.

Sully Man-O-Shan Martha sold for $140,000 at the farm’s Morsan300 sale Sept. 18-19.

It was the heifer’s numbers rather than its looks that brought the high prices, said Greg Thalen of Morsan Farms.

The heifer scored 2544, the highest of all the genomics tested animals at the sale, which predicts it will be a great dairy cow.

“Her own ability to milk and produce high fat milk was better than others, but also her ability to transmit that to her calves would be better,” said Thalen of Ponoka.

“She is from a good cow family. Not the best cow family in the world, but a good cow family.”

Specific genes are linked to specific traits desirable in the dairy industry, including higher milk production, good health and good conformation.

Genomics is expected to be the biggest advancement in the dairy industry since freezing cattle semen.

Thalen said the farm is moving from show cattle to more genomics tested cattle in its dairy and livestock business.

Morsan Miss Universe sold for $36,000. It is the daughter of the million dollar selling cow Missy.

Miss Chassity Domain Chaya sold for $38,000 at Morsan Farms’ Morsan300 sale in Ponoka.

Gary Jones of Ireland attaches a tail to a cow with the help of Pate Naude of Embrun, Ont.

The young heifer was in the United States, where it was born, during Morsan’s sale because Thalen didn’t want to truck it to Canada only to have it be bought by an American and trucked back. He said an American bought a half interest, but it will be living in Canada.

The growing interest in genomics tested dairy cattle was reflected in the sale numbers, said Morris Thalen.

“The high genomics calves bring the biggest money,” he said.

“DNA testing, that’s where the market’s heading. It’s going to be our main focus going forward.”

Ninety-five percent of the dairy business is interested in milk production rather than the show circuit, and that will be the farm’s new focus.

Greg Thalen said 85 percent of Morsan’s operation is commercial cattle and the other 15 percent is purebred show cattle.

He said 10 percent of the cattle in the farm’s 1,600 head milking operation are genomics tested. Five percent of the show cattle are genomics tested, he added.

He said commercial dairy operations are looking for increased milk production, and genomics is one

more way to help cattle producers choose cattle that will produce more milk.

A nine-month old heifer, Morsan Mogul Spooky, sold for $41,000 to GenerVations, an Ontario based genetics company, because of its numbers.

Thalen said the farm originally estimated the heifer’s genomics testing production index numbers at around 2100, but they came back at 2491.

He said a heifer of its age and quality might typically bring $5,000 to $6,000, but the high genomics testing numbers boosted its value.

“It put her in an elite league,” said Thalen.

Other genomics tested cattle also received top prices from $25,000 to $87,000.

He said only the top non-genomics tested animals bring good money.

“When I say good money, I mean extreme, like $80,000, where the rest bring $5,000 to $50,000. In the genomics, the top bring $100,000 plus and the in betweens can bring in $10,000 to $40,000 or $50,000.”

Three hundred cows, heifers and bull calves sold at the two-day sale on the farm. It’s the first time the family held the sale on its Ponoka farm. The sale average was slightly more than $6,000.

The family also has a string of elite show cattle, including Missy, which won supreme champion at Madison, Wisconsin, and at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair in Toronto in 2011 and cow of the year in 2012.

During the sale, Lot 160, BKB Goldwyn Amenda, a show cow, sold for $87,000 to West Coast Holsteins from British Columbia.

The cow will be leaving shortly for Madison to one of the largest dairy shows in the U.S., where its new buyers hope to win big.

“We still like the odd show cattle, but it won’t be our only focus as it was in the past,” said Thalen.

WILDLIFE | LOSS PREVENTION

Can no-kill predator strategies work?

Workshops planned | Livestock protection group hopes new strategies will reduce losses

BY REBECA KUROPATWA FREELANCE WRITER

Producers have many options when trying to prevent predator attacks.

Some of them even involve the precept of live and let live.

Janine Stewart, a human wildlife conflict biologist in Swan River, Man., has consulted over the last few years with producers who have several generations of coyotes living alongside their farms that have never caused them problems.

“They mutually ignore one another and peacefully coexist,” said Stewart.

“This situation is ideal, as there’s a good possibility that, if they remove the predators not causing problems, they could be replaced by predators that do cause problems.”

Coyotes are responsible for 75 percent of the predator damage claims submitted in Manitoba. Wolves make up 20 percent and black bears, cougars and foxes account for the rest.

These are the animals for which livestock predator species damage claims can be submitted.

About half the submitted claims are for beef calves less than 300 pounds.

Stewart said animal husbandry is a good place to start when attempting to prevent these kinds of attacks.

“If they have, for instance, a small herd of goats or sheep, they might consider night penning, because predators tend to be more active at night in their attacks,” said Stewart.

“It’s a good option for smaller herds, protecting them at night and supervising them during the day.”

Many fencing options are available to producers, such as electric and mesh fencing. Producers might also want to choose pastures less preferred by predators and avoid pastures with a lot of cover in which predators can hide.

“One method that’s been found very effective with Manitoba sheep producers is using livestock guarding animals (particularly guard dogs),” said Stewart.

“With this method, sheep producers have seen a dramatic drop in livestock attacks. A study came out last year that looked at the use of guard dogs in the protection of cattle, finding it very successful.”

Motion-activated noisemakers or lights are effective in the short-term, such as for a few days during calving, but animals become habituated to this sort of consistent stimulus.

Producers can also avoid attracting predators to their yards by not feeding deer and other prey animals, and by keeping both pets and pet food inside at night.

Manitoba’s Wildlife Act allows property owners to kill predators, except for cougars, on their own land in protection of their property. They can also allow someone else on their property if they have a valid license or special hunter’s permit. As well, producers can trap or hunt predators during a regulated season if they hold a regulated hunting license or trapping permit.

The province’s Problem Predatory Management Program is available to

producers who have experienced livestock losses due to foxes, coyotes or wolves.

Producers who have a claim number can ask the Manitoba Trappers Association to send a trapper to their property to remove the problem predator at no cost to them.

A livestock predation protection working group was formed this spring comprising representatives from Manitoba Beef Producers, Manitoba Sheep Producers, the trappers association, Manitoba Conservation and Water Stewardship, Manitoba Agriculture, the Manitoba Agricultural Services Corp. and Agriculture Canada.

review best management practices from other jurisdictions to see what can be applied in Manitoba.

“Over the last several years, damage claim payments have been increasing steadily, with last year being a record year with over $1 million paid out in livestock predation damages,” said Stewart.

“I’m really optimistic that all the different agencies involved in this working group will help turn this around.”

As well, producers who suffer waterfowl damage in their crops can use the Waterfowl Crop Damage Prevention Program to borrow scare cannons from conservation and water stewardship district offices.

Using these devices is not recommended at night because some municipalities have noise bylaws.

The program also has instructions on its website for making scarecrows.

“It’s a pretty simple process with just a wooden pole and garbage bags attached,” said Stewart.

“They’re set up in a corridor at a certain spacing, deterring waterfowl from landing in the field. Recently, we purchased some scare eagles to loan to producers that are placed in the middle of their fields. We’re just in the initial testing stages for this.”

EQUIPMENT | HYDRAULIC PUMP

Too much oomph sends oil flying COWBOY LOGIC

RYAN TAYLOR

It’s important to keep power in sync down the line

I

t struck me the other day, when a hose on my rake broke and I lost 10 gallons of hydraulic fluid in the blink of an eye, that maybe less is more.

The rake probably had some hoses that weren’t good enough, but maybe the tractor had a hydraulic pump that was too good. I remember considering the hydraulic pump specs and reputation when I was shopping for the tractor.

It was going to be a loader tractor and I wanted plenty of oil flow to lift those loader arms and handle the hay bales.

I remember looking up the specs on the tractor’s hydraulics when I was pondering the purchase. The entire tractor flowed at 37 gallons per minute, with implement hydraulic flow going at 26.5 gallons per minute and the power steering at 10.5 gallons in a minute. Boy, that was good, or so I thought.

Now, when the tractor went from winter loader to summer raker, I used those high volume hydraulics to raise the wheels on the rake, the hose broke and at 26.5 gallons per minute, 100 litres every metric minute, it took just 22.2 seconds to lose 10 gallons of rather valuable hydraulic fluid.

Incidentally, 22.2 seconds is about the amount of time it takes to break out of your hay raking daze, look up from the Twitter feed on your cellphone, glance back and realize you’ve just broken a hose and lost 10 gallons of fluid.

Another interesting fact : it cost $45.36 to get a new hose, and, if you’re buying the good fluid and picking it up in five gallon buckets, $153.20 for the oil. And, like everything else that happens with machinery, we grimace a little, wince as we sign the invoice and conclude, “that’s the cost of doing business, I guess.”

Once things break, you have to fix them, at least if you’re breaking really critical, front line kinds of things. You might be able to ignore a slow leak in Apply for a Cash Advance Today!

a tire, but hydraulics are kind of an important feature. Maybe I should have been raking retro.

I had my old John Deere 4020 on the dump rake, and that does 13 gallons a minute through the hydraulic pump, according to the spec sheet.

If I’d had that tractor on the rotten hosed wheel rake, it would have taken me twice as long to lose 10 gallons of fluid. If I’d had the Model A or Model B John Deere on the rake, I might have had even more time and saved even more oil. Less is more — less of a pump, more time to stop the gusher.

Or, if I’d gone way retro and decided to rake with a horse rake, even if I pulled it with a tractor, there would be

zero chance of losing any hydraulic fluid because the rake dumps with the pull of a rope on a lever, a mechanical trip on the wheel and not a single hydraulic hose or cylinder.

I guess another thought would be to inspect those places where a $45 hose might save the next $150 worth of hydraulic fluid. Seems frivolous to replace a hose that isn’t even broke yet. And everyone says, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”

I think I’ll just park the rake for a while and see how good the hoses are on the baler.

BLOOD DISEASE | CATTLE

Bartonella bovis an emerging pathogen ANIMAL HEALTH

JAMIE ROTHENBURGER, DVM

T

he old adage that blood is sterile no longer applies.

Bartonella infections have been described as far back as the Inca Dynasty, and bacteria in red blood cells was first described by A. L. Barton in 1909. However, the significance of these bacteria in human and animal disease has only recently come to light.

There has been much research on bartonella in the last two decades. As of 2013, more than 20 species of bartonella have been described and the number of known bartonella species is expected increase.

Bartonella infection has been found in a variety of mammalian species, including cats, dogs, coyotes, ground squirrels, rats and people.

Among these newly discovered bartonella species is bartonella bovis, which infects cattle.

So why are these bartonella bacteria suddenly on our radar?

The bacterium is extremely difficult to culture using traditional laboratory methods because it lives only inside or on the surface of red blood cells and blood vessels. In fact, less than 10 percent of infections can be detected using these traditional techniques.

It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until advances in molecular testing came along that it could be accurately diagnosed. In this case, it was a matter of not being able to look for it rather than it being a new emerging disease.

Genetic analysis supports the theory that this bacterium has had a longterm co-evolution with cattle.

Because bartonella bovis has infected cattle for a long time, it is thought that the bacteria have evolved to cause minimal effects on its host, settling into a relatively peaceful coexistence.

This survival strategy is quite different from that of another bacteria, bacillus anthracis, which causes the rapidly fatal disease anthrax. Transmission of anthrax depends on the rapid death of the infected animal to release massive numbers of spores into the environment.

The vast majority of bartonella bovis infections cause no signs of disease in cattle. There are rare reports of bartonella bovis causing endocarditis, which is inflammation in the tissue that lines the heart, including the heart valves.

Cases of endocarditis in cattle are usually only diagnosed at slaughter or during autopsy examination.

The interaction between this bacterium and other pathogens such as BVD and bovine herpes virus remains to be investigated. It is plausible that infection with bartonella may have subclinical effects on reproduction and growth.

Blood-sucking insects, such as lice, biting flies and ticks, transmit this bacterium between cattle.

The percentage of infected cattle seems to vary between locations. For example, a 2008 study in North Carolina found that 82 percent of beef

cattle were positive for B. bovis. Conversely, only seven percent of dairy cattle tested in a Polish study were infected. Prevalence of B. bovis in Canada is unknown.

Zoonotic potential of bartonella bovis is also unknown, but other bartonella species can cause infections in people. Veterinarians and other people with significant interactions with animals may be at an increased risk of exposure. The most notorious and well studied of these is bartonella henselae, which is carried by cats and causes cat scratch disease in people. Cats infect people through scratches and bites. Children are most often affected and the disease is usually self-limiting.

Humans have their own bartonella species, including one that causes trench fever. Homeless people are most commonly affected.

In immunocompromised people, such as those with HIV/AIDS, many bartonella species are associated with tumour-like growths in blood vessels.

The recent work on bartonella, including bartonella bovis, has made great progress in our understanding of these bacteria, but their impact on animal health remains to be investigated.

Filling in voids | Local dealers offer services or flexibility not available from big companies

BY ED WHITE

GRAIN TRADERS NAME

WINNIPEG BUREAU

It’s the case of the Strange Survival of the Independent Ag Dealer.

It’s a mystery that independent dealers have happily resolved in a beneficial manner.

Five years ago, many thought that independent dealers were a dying breed in Western Canada.

“Yes, I thought it was all going to be over for most (dealers),” said David Edgar, an independent dealer in Saskatchewan’s Grenfell-Wolseley area.

“It was fear of all the change, and you looked at it and said, ‘these guys (the big grain and input companies) are just going to take over the world.’ ” However, the independent dealers have survived and grown, keeping their share of the prairie input business and adding services, just as their main competitors have done the same.

There doesn’t seem to be a single factor that explains how the local, independent dealers were able to survive aggressive moves into farm input retailing by integrated grain companies and major input networks in the early -to-mid 2000s.

One possibility is that the major companies didn’t necessarily have all the competitive advantages that the independents feared they had.

“We found out that there were some cracks in the armour and that in some places we can do things better than our competitors,” said Edgar.

The bigger companies generally have the advantage of lower prices on some items at some times, but Brandon dealer Ray Redfern said he hasn’t built a business on advertising rock-bottom prices because that doesn’t create a stable, long-term operation.

“Many of the independents here are not going to be fixated on always offering the lowest price and trying to offer a better mousetrap,” said Redfern.

“We say we have integrity and that if something goes wrong, we’ll make it right.”

Independent dealers have expand-

FARM INPUT SUPPLIERS NAME

Some feared competition from large grain and input companies would threaten the future of independent ag dealers, but the industry is now stronger than ever. Kathy Vancha, assistant manager at Rack Petroleum in Perdue, Sask., sorts through bags of canola seed in a photo taken in 2010. | FILE PHOTO ed in recent years, offering agronomy services as well as basic input sales and delivery. They also focus on troubleshooting problems that farmers are having in the field.

As well, they hope to be more available than the grain company competitors, with most management and staff living in the community and able to make late-night, early-morning or weekend emergency calls.

However, Redfern said price is still a major concern for most farmers, so independents who are still in busi-

ness are the ones who realize they can’t keep farmer business if they aren’t at least close in price to the most aggressive discounters.

“If I rely on the old line and say, ‘I’m a local boy and I’ve been here and I’ve earned your loyalty,’ but we haven’t executed well or provided benefits and value, those guys pretty soon leave us,” said Redfern.

Edgar said he respects his grain company competitors, which can often offer programs and specialized services that the independents can’t.

However, he said the independents try to occupy voids in service or reliability left by the big companies.

“Most of our deals are done with a handshake,” said Edgar. “You can’t buy trust if your managers move in and out every couple of years.”

Redfern said some of his clients like being able to confront him directly if he screws up.

“My customers say, ‘I can talk to the people who direct the business. I can say to you, that’s BS, and you can’t avoid me.’ ”

EQUIPMENT | FLOOD DAMAGE

Alberta farmers urged to be cautious about flood-damaged farm equipment

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

LONGVIEW, Alta. — June floods inundated farm equipment in various parts of southern Alberta, and now some of that equipment could be coming to auction.

It’s a case of buyer beware.

Janet Patriquin, assistant farmer’s advocate, said no issues have yet been reported, but those in the market for used equipment should be aware of risks.

“We’re trying to get ahead of things and just make sure that if farmers are buying equipment … we’re working with the Canada West

Equipment Dealers and making sure that dealers out there, if they have flood damaged units, they’re sending disclosures.”

Patriquin said the advocate’s office encourages farmers to understand what the disclosures mean should they buy equipment affected by water. For one thing, it can mean

warranties are void.

“We want to make sure that farmers know what they’re getting themselves into,” Patriquin said.

The Alberta Farmer’s Advocate office administers the Farm Implement Act and provides assistance in settling warranty complaints, mediating disputes related to machinery,

obtaining emergency repair parts and maintaining information on new machinery trends.

The act provides warranty protection, information on replacement parts and minimum requirements for sales contracts.

However, it does not apply to farm implements sold at auction.

FOOD INDUSTRY | POST HOLDINGS INC.

Glencore sells Viterra pasta plant to cereal maker Dakota Growers Pasta | The purchase fits with Post’s plan to expand into other sectors of the food industry

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Another asset formerly owned by Viterra is being sold off by Swiss commodity trader Glencore Xstrata.

Glencore confirmed today that is selling Dakota Growers Pasta Company in North Dakota to Post Holdings Inc. for $370 million.

Post, a St. Louis, Missouri, based cereal maker whose products include Honeycomb, Alpha Bits, Raisin Bran and Shreddies, said it expects the deal to close in January, subject to

Post, the maker of Honeycomb and Alpha Bits, plans to buy the Dakota Growers Pasta facility in North Dakota. | FILE PHOTO certain conditions.

The sale of Dakota Growers Pasta is the latest in a string of asset sales approved by Glencore Xstrata since it

acquired Viterra’s global agri-food empire last year in a deal valued at more than $6 billion.

Glencore has also sold Viterra’s

agricultural retail centres in Australia and Canada, its Canadian and American oat milling operations and its Australian malting assets, which include seven malting facilities.

Dakota Growers is one of the largest pasta producers in the United States.

It has milling and pasta production facilities at Carrington, North Dakota, and New Hope, Minnesota.

The acquisition is expected to boost annual sales at Post by about $300 million, Post officials said.

Dakota Growers will be managed independently from other Post Holdings businesses.

Post will retain Dakota Growers’ existing management team led by Ed Irion, the company’s-vice president and general manager.

“I am delighted to welcome Ed, his team, and the Dakota Growers associates into the growing family of Post Holdings’ companies,” Post chair

and chief executive officer William P. Stiritz said in a news release.

“With Dakota Growers, Post continues to expand its portfolio into segments of the overall food industry, where it sees opportunities to grow and diversify its strong cash flow.”

Viterra purchased Dakota Growers in 2010 for $240 million.

The U.S. company was established in the early 1990s as a wheat growers’ co-operative.

In 2010, it was the third largest producer and marketer of dry pasta products in North America, involved primarily in supplying ingredient, food service and private label retail markets.

Durum milling capacity at Dakota Growers was estimated in 2010 at 1,000 tonnes a day, with an annual pasta output of 560 million pounds processed through 14 production lines.

B.C. AGRICULTURE | ECONOMIC IMPACT

Livestock production impact study provides powerful punch MANAGING THE FARM

ANDREW RAPHAEL

M

ost livestock and grain producers recognize that their industry is vital to the community, province and country, but are they aware of how much they contribute?

British Columbia’s cattle producers weren’t, so they commissioned an economic impact study to quantify their value and give them the numbers to back up their claims.

The results were surprising and the benefits significant, indicating that other livestock and grain producers across Canada might be wise to put some hard numbers on what they bring to the table.

The B.C. Cattlemen’s Association commissioned the economic impact study to get a clearer picture of exactly where the money generated by the industry is going.

The findings showed that the cattle industry’s total output in that province is $606 million, which is more than 2.5 times what the provincial government uses to determine the value of the industry.

Direct output is estimated to be $351 million, supporting $193 million in indirect outputs and $62 million in induced impacts.

Total nominal gross domestic product generated in the B.C. economy is estimated to be $316 million and the total number of full-time equivalent employee positions is 4,242.

Finally, cattle production in B.C. generated an estimated $52 million in taxation revenue.

The study also found that the cattle industry generates many other economic, social and environmental benefits that aren’t quantifiable but

should not be disregarded when calculating the value of livestock production.

For instance, it found that cattle ranchers and feedlots were a major factor in the development and sustainability of rural communities.

They engage in research and development, promote tourism and mitigate fires.

Their money stays in the community, and they take an active interest in community events and volunteerism.

With hard numbers in hand, cattle and beef producers in B.C. now have more opportunities to present their case to all levels of governments while communicating their value to communities and stakeholders.

“The MNP study was excellent and well received by our members and government, but statistics are just numbers looking for a fight unless you put some meat on the bones and engage folks in understanding that what cattle producers do every day contributes to the economy and social fabric of where they live and work in many ways,” said Kevin Boon, BCCA general manager.

Boon gets to a crucial point for organizations and their members who are considering an economic impact study.

It’s important to ensure that the methodologies for collecting and analyzing information are developed with expertise in both analytics and your industry because without deep industry knowledge, the results might be misleading.

The study provider needs working knowledge of agriculture, farmgateto-consumer plate, to make the analysis meaningful.

Studies should include an examination of how the agricultural industry, including producers and others in the production chain, participates in the community.

For example, you can direct researchers to contact mayors, school principals, community groups and businesspeople to ask them about the impact of your industry in their communities.

By including the community perspective, you can test your data and put statistics into meaningful stories that resonate with stakeholders and decision makers so that they

can appreciate the far-reaching benefits that producers bring to a community.
