Malt barley growers expect year to cheer High quality | Huge yields and ideal protein levels

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

Beer drinkers and farmers can rejoice. The Canadian malt barley crop was the largest and best quality in years.

Pat Rowan of Anheuser Busch said it’s the largest yielding crop he’s seen in his 30 years of buying malt barley for the brewing industry.

“It’s a huge, huge crop,” said Rowan, who added it wasn’t uncommon for farmers to harvest 100 bushel per acre crops this fall.

“It’s incredible. The big question is how to store it and how to brew it,” said Rowan, of Winnipeg.

Statistics Canada estimated this fall’s Canadian barley production to increase 18.1 percent from 2012 to 9.2 million tonnes.

It estimated yields averaged 68.2 bu. per acre, up from 54.1 bu. per acre last year.

Big crop, busy elevators | Growers may have a hard time selling uncontracted grain

With elevators plugged, bearish fundamentals clouding the winter outlook and piles of crop lying in the field, farmers have a challenging marketing season ahead.

It’s one in which it’s hard to know what to sell first, what to price and what to hold on to. It’s especially hard this autumn because many elevators are full for weeks to come, so clearing crop for space and then having masses of crop to sell later will be the fate of many farmers.

“Once we get through all this harvest pressure, hopefully it will get better,” said Kindersley, Sask., farmer Morgan Nunweiler, chair of the Saskatchewan Pulse Growers

Association, as he helped a neighbour harvest his crops on a warm October day.

“For farmers who have piles of grain on the ground, it’s a pretty time-sensitive matter to get those piles moved.”

Farmers are grappling with a bumper crop that has stressful side effects.

So many farmers have bigger than expected crops that they have too little priced and haven’t arranged delivery for the proportion of their crop that they would normally have booked.

Finding elevators that will take uncontracted grain now is impossible in many areas, a vexing concern for any farmer who has run out of storage space and needs to move the crop now before weather and pests

start damaging its quality.

It’s also an annoyance for farmers with enough storage space, but who need to sell lots of crop in coming months and now face bad basis levels and a declining futures market.

Farm marketing adviser Brenda Tjaden Lepp said farmers face few good prospects for wheat and oilseed prices, so she has recommended her clients price most of those crops. A big corn crop in the United States is going to restrain the ability of any cereal grain to rally this winter, so there isn’t much reason to hold on hoping for a rally.

Oilseeds are also well supplied, especially canola, but at least there is steady demand that will sweep up the crop. Therefore, even if prices don’t look good over the winter,

canola will probably be easier to move later in the winter than wheat.

However, some special crops actually have bullish fundamentals, so Tjaden Lepp is recommending farmers price less of those crops in the hopes of a late winter to spring rally.

“For some (special crops) there’s a better chance of the supply-demand balance changing or coming through this (generally) glutted year better,” said Tjaden Lepp.

Edible beans have low supplies and could rally late in the winter, rye has a bullish outlook and even well-supplied peas and lentils could rise if late-season buying comes into the market.

Timing key to marketing “If that happens this year, we won’t have disgustingly overburdened stocks,” said Tjaden Lepp.

John DePape of Farmers Advanced Risk Management Company, which specializes in sales timing based on storage premiums and carrying costs, said farmers face a trickier than usual situation this year because of the need to book deliveries in a congested system.

They must balance their need to guarantee they can move crop when they need the cash flow with their outlook on possible basis improvements during winter. Often basis levels improve in winter, but it can be perilous to wait in a year of congestion like this.

“You might be better off looking at January, February, March and locking in your basis now just to make sure you’re in the queue,” said DePape.

“What’s 10 cents (of possible improvement) if you can’t deliver?”

Positive carry between futures months takes some of the pain out of

having to carry big supplies into the mid-winter, DePape said, with farmers now being paid to store their grain.

Last year many markets were inverted, rewarding farmers for immediate delivery and penalizing those who held on to crop.

“The spreads pay you to store,” said DePape.

Overhanging all marketing decisions for farmers this year will be the worry about the system getting further congested if something goes wrong.

“If there’s any glitch at all, grain backs up,” said DePape.

Tjaden Lepp thinks prices for wheat and canola look vulnerable to further declines, especially with big U.S. cereal and oilseed crops coming in, so those winter and spring premiums in the futures market shouldn’t be ignored.

“Those premiums aren’t going to last, given the supply forecast for some of these crops,” said Tjaden Lepp.

Malt growers expect year to cheer Generally, less than 25 percent of the barley crop is selected for malt.

On top of bin-busting yields, this year’s crop is showing high quality with ideal protein levels, with few downgrades for chitting or sprouting.

“It’s a very, very good year for barley. The quality was excellent. You remember good years like this,” said Rowan.

New Norway, Alta., farmer Ross Keller received preliminary reports of his samples back from maltsters and all were accepted as malt.

The protein levels ranged from 10 to 12.1 percent, but most were in the low 11 percent range.

The plumpness of the Copeland and Meredith varieties ranged from 90 to 96, moisture was in the low 13 percent range and the preliminary germination was good.

This week, Keller plans to haul some of the contracted crop to Rahr Malting, at Alix, Alta.

The strong contract price and early delivery will prompt Keller to seed malt in the future.

“I don’t see it going away. It works. It helps pay the bills.”

Kevin Sich of Rahr Malting said he is seeing plenty of high volume, high quality malt at the plant.

“You can never have too much good quality barley.”

Sich said some of the malt barley fields yielded two tonnes per acre, compared to the Alberta average of 1.3 tonnes per acre.

“The volume this year is way above average,” he said.

The early harvested crop came off in excellent quality. Showers midharvest created some chitting depending on the amount or rain and the stage of crop, he said.

Brent McBean of Strathmore said this year’s bumper crop is a testament to good genetics, good farming practices and good weather.

“We’ve had so many good, wet years,” said McBean who farms in the Vulcan and Gleichen areas.

McBean said his Vulcan yields were average with decent quality, but the crops at the Gleichen farm were outstanding, especially for the two-row Meredith barley.

“It was the perfect year for barley. It is amazing what it can do when it gets rain.”

HUNTING SEASON AROUND THE CORNER

Ag Canada changes irk officials

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Ottawa’s decision to withdraw from wheat breeding and varietal development should have involved more consultation and better planning, says the director of the University of Saskatchewan’s Crop Development Centre.

CD C managing director Kofi Agblor says more communication would have ensured that all players in the Canadian wheat industry — including other plant breeding organizations — were fully informed of changes to federal programming.

He said Ottawa should have spent more time figuring out who would fill the void created by federal cuts to Agriculture Canada.

“I have yet to see any policy paper … providing any guidelines for the changes occurring at Ag Canada,” Agblor said last week. “I’m not saying they’re making these changes out of the blue, I’m sure they thought them through. But they’ve not shared this information with us.”

Agblor said cuts to Agriculture Canada breeding programs could have a direct impact on breeding operations and human resource requirements at the CDC. He learned through media reports last month that the University of Saskatchewan has been identified as an organization most likely to pick up the work being conducted by researchers at a federal pea breeding program at Lacombe, Alta.

A similar situation exists in wheat breeding, where Agriculture Canada has served notice that within five years, it will no longer be involved in developing and commercializing AC wheat varieties.

“Maybe they’ve made the analysis … that others can play a larger role (in wheat breeding) but if that is the case … then they have to communicate how that piece will be picked up by others,” Agblor said.

“The assumption that the private sector is going to do it (isn’t enough)…. The private sector will do it if a business case exists but a business case that exists today might not exist (tomorrow).”

Despite the magnitude of changes affecting Agriculture Canada’s research programs, Agblor said criticism aimed at Ottawa by producers, commodity organizations and other stakeholders in the Canadian grain and oilseed industries has been limited.

He said commodity organizations and so-called “research clusters” that receive direct funding from Ottawa are reluctant to criticize Ottawa’s decisions regarding core research spending.

“I think the public maybe has not reacted strongly enough,” he said.

“We get maybe enamoured by other announcements on funding … and so no one is taking a critical look.”

Earlier this year, members of the Prairie Grain Development Committee (PGDC) were also caught off guard when they learned that Ottawa was withdrawing resources from preregistration field trials that assess promising new crop cultivars.

INSURANCE | PRODUCER PROTECTION

New farmer insurance system coming Protections on deliveries | New program will replace the grain commission’s bonding system

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Canadian farmers who sell their crops to an insolvent grain company and don’t receive payment for their deliveries will soon be recovering their losses through a new insurance-based security program.

Beginning Dec. 1, the Canadian Grain Commission will replace its existing producer payment protection plan with a new plan designed to control costs for the grain industry, reduce administration and provide more transparent and predictable coverage to producers.

The CGC’s current producer payment protection program system is a bond-based system that requires grain companies to report their financial liabilities on a monthly basis and post a bond against those liabilities.

The proposed new system would require licensed grain companies to pay annual premiums in exchange for an insurance policy that would provide aggregate coverage up to $100 million per year.

Under the insurance-based system, farmers who deliver grain would be issued a document protecting them from financial losses that occur when a grain company is unable to meet its payment obligations.

Individual producers would be eligible to make a claim within 45 days of delivery. In the event of a claim,

Farmer deliveries will soon be protected under a new insurance program rather than the current bonding system. | FILE PHOTO they would be eligible to receive a maximum 95 percent of the original value of the grain they delivered.

The remaining five percent would be retained as a deductible, similar to user deductibles on auto or home insurance policies.

Details of the proposed changes were posted on the Canada Gazette website and can be viewed at http:// bit.ly/16tTRk3.

All stakeholders, including grain companies, CGC licensees, farmers, farm groups and industry associations, can submit feedback on the amended regulations until Nov. 4.

CGC spokesperson Remi Gosselin said the proposed changes are designed to benefit both producers and grain companies.

“It’s considerably reducing the cost of maintaining the program and it

will also decrease security shortfalls,” Gosselin said.

In the past, security posted by grain companies has often been insufficient to cover payments due to producers that are in default.

In some cases, producer payments were pro-rated leaving farmers to swallow losses worth thousands of dollars.

Under the new system, producers will be covered for aggregate claims totalling $100 million, more than 20 times the aggregate losses ever claimed by farmers under the old bond-based system.

Gosselin said there are no up-front costs for farmers under the new system, only a five percent deductible payable when a claim paid.

“Producers are not seeing any kind of change,” Gosselin said.

“It’s the licensees (grain companies), that are paying a premium for this insurance.”

Under the old bond-based system, large established grain companies that posed a minimal default risk were required to post bonds or security worth tens of millions of dollars, based on the large volumes of grain they handle.

Gosselin said the total value of grain industry security posted under the old system was in the hundreds of millions of dollars.

Coverage will continue under the current individual security-based payment protection model until the new proposed model takes effect.

Insurance coverage will be provided by Atradius, an insurance company with headquarters in Amsterdam and offices in 45 countries.

Demand spikes for grain bins, bags Storage woes | Farmers looking to hold onto crops are finding few bins at retailers

Inspection policy needs updating: CFIA official

BY KRISTEN MCEWEN

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

CALGARY BUREAU

With a large crop expected this year, farmers are looking for additional space to store grain.

But finding new bins is tricky with bin manufacturers reporting low stock and inventory at retailers also running low.

“Our customer service group has been very busy specifically with the aeration side of our business,” said Twister and Grain Guard Bins sales manager Derek Johnson.

“Because farmers are now looking at keeping their crop in good condition … there’s been lots of questions on aeration and grain drying.”

Johnson said sales have been strong, and he’s seeing sales later than normal for Western Canada.

“We still got customers who are asking for bins,” Johnson said.

He s a i d ma n y c u s t o m e r s a re focused on larger storage bins.

“Farmers are asking for bigger storage for bigger bins. Whereas in the past you’d see farmers looking for 24 foot, 27 foot or 30 foot bins in diameter, where now they’re looking for 36 foot, 42 foot and 48 foot bins,” he said.

Jim Weeda, business manager of Westeel, said bin inventory at their retailers is running low, and they are moving bins between locations to meet demands.

“I would have to say, I don’t have any data to support this, but we got really busy starting towards the end of July,” he said.

“August and September have been very busy and compared to last year where we were just busy, since the end of July has been double compared to traditional in-season business. Retailers had stock to fill the demand, although I’m sure we could have sold

TORONTO — There is an international effort to lower the level of food borne illnesses caused by a host of micro-organisms that get into people’s guts and wreak havoc.

In Canada, ongoing tests and surveillance of meat products and processing plants show low levels of troublesome bugs like listeria, salmonella and E. coli, said Martin Appelt, national policy manager for the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.

“The goal is to get an over-arching comfort level on what the prevalence is by and large in facilities in the country,” he said at a technical symposium sponsored by the Canadian Meat Council in Toronto Oct. 3-4.

“By and large we see a reduction, we see a downward trend in the prevalence,” he said.

More data would help and it is probably time to change the way meat is inspected, he said.

“In meat inspection we still operate in the mindset from 1907 where a large focus is on hands-on inspection,” he said. Visual inspections note lesions and flaws but no one can see harmful micro-organisms.

He favours more testing. More precise tests are finding a host of microorganisms and can identify different strains of bacteria, some of which are benign while others could be fatal.

In addition, the Public Health Agency of Canada has been surveying farms and retailers since 2005 at two sites in the Fraser Valley of British Columbia and the Waterloo area in Ontario.

The C-Enternet initiative collects information and is finding microorganisms on farms and in stores.

Prevalence levels are consistently low, said Dr. Frank Pollari of the centre for food borne, environmental and zoonotic infectious diseases within the agency.

The targets are salmonella, campylobacter, E. coli O157:H7, shigella, yersina enterocolitica, giardia, cryptosporidium and listeria.

Samples are collected from manure and water on about 30 farms that could have beef, swine, dairy, broilers or layers.

Each week meat samples are taken from four or five grocery stores in the regions.

They have found very low levels of campylobacter on about 80 percent of the swine farms. Most was campylobacter coli, which is less harmful.

Positive salmonella samples were found in about 30 percent of the samples but at retail outlets, rates in pork were between three to five percent.

They looked for listeria in all the commodities on the retail side and found it was there at a rate of about 10 percent across the board.

Chicken manure had the highest prevalence of salmonella and they also found about 30 percent of the breasts had some traces of it.

They also looked at ground chicken, nuggets and ground turkey where presence of salmonella was higher.

Minimal stock is also available at Meridian’s retailers, said sales manager Rob Reimer. “(Sales) have been really strong for us,” Reimer said. “Demand (has) been really good.”

Storage alternatives With grain bins and bags almost sold out, farmers may turn to storing product on the ground and they will need to take many to keep moisture out, said Daphne Cruise, a regional crop specialist in Moose Jaw, Sask.

“As far as storing on the ground, the

best thing for them to do is if they sort of have a plywood or steel bin ring, that they could at least put the bottom into, that would be the most ideal situation,” Cruise said. “But a lot of them don’t have access to that so the best thing to do would be to tarp it as best as they can to keep any moisture out.”

Some producers put up guards, temporary fencing and straw or hay bales to keep wildlife away from the grain, she said.

Cruise added that some producers will put down a plastic sheet to keep the grain off the ground.

“A lot of producers find that when it comes time to cleaning the grain or

auguring it out into a truck, it’s even more of a detriment. Some of that plastic can get caught up in the auger,” she said.

“It makes cleaning up a bit more difficult in that sense but it also is OK because any grain that they don’t use in the auger they can just fold it up into that plastic and dispose of it that way.”

Storing grain straight on the ground will result in spoiling the first few inches of crop in contact with the soil.

However, it would provide a place where moisture can escape rather than being held underneath the crop, said Cruise.

POLICY | OPPOSITION

Food safety initiatives, CFIA underfunded, says federal NDP Regulations review | Party plans to make food safety a priority in the upcoming session of Parliament

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

The opposition New Democratic Party is gearing up to focus on food safety and what it sees as a government failure to fund the Canadian Food Inspection Agency properly.

When the new session of Parliament resumes Oct. 16, NDP agriculture critic Malcolm Allen says food safety will be a major theme.

Inspector numbers have been reduced and funding has been cut, he told a news conference last week.

“It’s a system that’s now reacting to a crisis after people get ill and that’s the biggest, biggest issue that faces Canadians — why have they become the canary in the food system business rather than being the folks being protected by the CFIA,” he said.

“They can do better,” Allen said in an Oct. 7 interview.

“We will demand that they do. It’s not just consumers but producers as well who suffer when there is a food

scare and consumers here or abroad get nervous.”

Deputy agriculture critic Ruth Ellen Brosseau said part of the problem is that inspectors will be “rotated from plant to plant to plant. Inspectors are becoming jacks-of-all-trades and you can’t expect them to go from commodity to commodity.”

The NDP plan to focus on food safety issues in Parliament comes as the government is immersed in its own efforts to improve the food safety system.

The CFIA has launched consultations on regulations that will be needed to bring the Safe Food for Canadians Act into effect by 2015.

The bill became law in November 2012 but needs detailed regulations to be enacted.

Meanwhile, the work is being overseen by new agency president Bruce Archibald, appointed in August as the third president in five years.

Allen said one of the first things Archibald should do is order an independent audit of CFIA resources to

MALCOLM ALLEN NDP AGRICULTURE CRITIC

determine if they are adequate for the job.

It was a recommendation in the 2009 Sheila Weatherill report after the deadly outbreak of listeriosis poisoning from tainted food produced from a Maple Leaf plant in Ontario.

The government has insisted a resource audit has been done and another is not needed.

“He (Archibald) should call that audit,” said the MP. “We still don’t know if they have the proper resourcing in the right plants at the right point. Maybe they have too many in some plants, not enough in others.

We don’t know.”

Allen, a member of the House of Commons committee that held

hearings on the Maple Leaf food contamination episode and the Weatherill report in 2009, said the CFIA resources still are being strained but the government denies it.

“There are cuts, $56 million out of the budget, 308 inspectors leaving the system, and the government mantra is ‘less is more’,” he said.

“It actually in our view takes integrity out of the system. You are going to be doing less than we did in the past and with some of the food safety issues in the past, that has not always been enough.”

However, the southwestern Ontario MP said he does not support proposals that have been debated in Ottawa for years that CFIA be moved to Health Canada from Agriculture Canada’s jurisdiction.

The argument that stretches back to the late 1990s and a failed Liberal bill to reform the CFIA is that as both an inspector and a promoter of the safety of Canada’s food, CFIA has a conflict of interest. Safe food is a health issue.

CROPS | DISEASE

High protein wheat may be difficult to find

Ergot infestations high in cereals

BY BRIAN CROSS

BY BARB GLEN

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Canadian farmers are looking at a record wheat crop this year but finding buyers for all that grain will be a challenge, says an executive at Richardson International.

Richardson vice-president of marketing Brent Watchorn said the sheer size of this year’s crop, combined with lower than expected protein levels, could pose a challenge for marketers.

And the likelihood of additional downgrades caused by recent rains across the West won’t help.

“There are customers today that would like a higher protein than what we are willing to offer,” Watchorn said.

Canadian wheat production could reach a record 33 million tonnes this year, according to Statistics Canada.

But quality is variable and early samples suggest average protein could be as much as one percent below normal.

Traditionally, foreign customers have bought high protein Canadian wheat and blended it with lower quality grain from other countries.

But the lower protein in this year’s Canadian crop might force some buyers to look at other options.

Some buyers might use Canadian wheat as an unblended milling product.

But others might look elsewhere for top grades of milling wheat and use Canadian grain as the lower blending component.

Either way, top grades of high protein Canadian wheat will be relatively scarce this year and any supplies that do exist will be difficult to source and segregate.

“There might be small areas that have (high protein wheat) but then you’re into the challenges of how do you make sure you’re the one that buys all that high quality grain and (can you provide) it to a customer to hit a specific sale.”

Watchorn said protein premiums are becoming more common and price spreads for top quality grain are likely to widen.

“I think we’ve already started to see that in the last couple of weeks,” he said.

Ergot has raised its ugly black head this year in Alberta and Saskatchewan crops.

The fungal disease can affect almost all cereals, reducing grade and adding toxicity to feed that can be fatal to animals.

“We are hearing that a lot of Saskatchewan and basically at least the southern half of Alberta is having troubles with ergot, especially in that Lethbridge countr y,” said Alberta Agriculture forage specialist Barry Yaremcio.

“In some places the infestations are quite high. It’s not pretty.”

Ergot worries typically surface in the winter livestock feeding season, but farmers are sounding the alarm now, after seeing ergot-laden crops come off the field.

Barry Blakley, veterinary biomedical sciences researcher at the University of Saskatchewan, said he used to get two or three calls per year about ergot.

Ergot, which reduces grade and can make feed toxic, can be cleaned with a gravity table or a colour sorter. | FILE PHOTO Now he’s getting five calls per day.

“It’s probably the major mycotoxin problem we are seeing in Western Canada today and it seems to be getting worse,” said Blakley.

He and his research team have set up analysis for four of the six major ergot alkaloids. They will use it to determine what levels of ergot are safe to feed livestock.

Previous methods involved counting the number of ergot kernels in a sample.

“We’ve had people that, based on the old standard of .1 to .3 percent, were feeding it … and (the animals) get sick.

So obviously that method of estimating the concentration is not perfect.”

By calculating a total among four alkaloids, Blakley said a more accurate measure of safety could be achieved.

“If that number is above, and this is for cattle rations, 100 to 200 parts per billion, then we declare the sample

problematic or potentially toxic. The one we got in today was about 400, so its double the standard.”

A major concern is the finding of ergot in brome and quack grass, added Blakley. That means ergot can spread from ditches to fields, unless ditch grass growth is managed.

Ergot can only infect plants when they are flowering, so control of grasses before they reach that stage could be important in its control.

Pigs and horses are most susceptible to ergot toxicity, but problems are often seen in dairy cattle because of their high feed intake.

Once animals eat ergot, effects including lameness and gangrene are irreversible.

Ergot can be cleaned from grain, using either a gravity table or the more modern colour sorters available at most seed cleaning plants and some grain terminals.

Yaremcio said rates for that are 30 to 40 cents per bushel, which might be worth it if higher grades can be achieved or feed quality can be preserved.

GM ALFALFA | PROVINCE FOLLOWS CFIA

Ontario nixes calls for added GM regulations

The Ontario government has rejected a call from two farmers asking the province to apply tough environmental assessment legislation on proposals to commercialize genetically modified alfalfa.

In a decision last week, a senior provincial environment department bureaucrat decided that since Canadian Food Inspection Agency rules already have cleared GM alfalfa as safe to grow, there is no need to apply the provincial Environmental Assessment Act to the file.

The department said that “a new provincial regulation making activities on the sale and distribution of GM seed subject to the EAA would overlap with the existing federal

regulation. Therefore, the public interest does not warrant an (environmental bill of rights) review by the ministry.”

In the heated debate around biotechnology, the decision drew strongly mixed reactions.

Ottawa-based Grain Growers of Canada sent a letter to Ontario environment minister Jim Bradley praising the decision.

“It is important as we move forward to be mindful of unnecessary duplication and the need to maintain a science-based approach,” wrote GGC executive director Jim Facette.

In an Oct. 4 interview, he said provincial regulation would have been a costly duplication but also held the danger of decisions being made “on the basis of emotion and not science

and safety.”

The anti-GMO Canadian Biotechnology Action Network called the Ontario decision a “lost opportunity” to acknowledge the dangers of GM alfalfa for cattle producers and organic farmers.

“This assessment would have been an ideal way to hear the concerns of farmers in Ontario and document the contamination threat from GM alfalfa,” said Lucy Sharratt of Ottawabased CBAN. “Incredibly, there’s still

no consultation with farmers or consumers, at any level of government, before GM seeds are approved.”

The application to apply the provincial environmental law was made

by National Farmers Union members Diane Dowling, president of an eastern Ontario NFU local and Dave Lewington, vice-president of an NFU local near Sudbury.

Both argued that the commercialization of GM alfalfa would inevitably show up on their farms.

CBAN supported the farmers in their appeal under Ontario’s Environmental Bill of Rights, urging Ontarians to write the minority Liberal government to oppose introduction of GM alfalfa.

CBAN said the CFIA 2005 approval of GM alfalfa did not properly assess its potential contamination issues.

Chinese demand key to prices

Marketers scrambling without USDA reports

Reports differ on size of Chinese corn crop | Lower than expected demand may hurt corn prices

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Demand from one of the main buyers of U.S. corn might not be as strong as expected, says an export promotion group.

The combination of a good-looking Chinese corn crop and a temporary slowdown in meat consumption in that country has the U.S. Grains Council (USG) questioning the demand outlook from that important region.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture forecasts seven million tonnes of Chinese corn imports, up from three million tonnes the prior year.

If China doesn’t need as much corn as analysts thought, it would put further downward pressure on corn and other grain prices.

Dick Kasting, director of strategic relations with the USG, recently returned from China where he toured crops in the country’s northeast and attended conferences on feed grain supply and demand.

The council dispatches a team yearly to assess prospects at the start of China’s corn harvest.

What the team saw conflicts with reports circulating that the crop is in trouble.

Wayne Brownlee, executive vicepresident of PotashCorp, recently told investors about his impression of China’s corn crop.

“We are seeing a real weakness in wheat and corn production there,” he said during a Sept. 24 presentation at the Scotiabank Agriculture and Fertilizer Conference.

“You are probably going to see record corn imports in China over the next year or so. The combination of drought in some areas and flooding in other areas has really diminished that crop.”

Kasting said that is not what the group saw during its tour of China’s most prolific corn producing region.

“The quality of the crop looked very good. Ears were full and well formed. We saw very little insect damage and minimal amounts of lodging,” he said.

“The folks that have done this tour for a number of years all thought that the crop looked to be in pretty good shape and that China would probably get some increase over last year’s figures.”

The U.S. Department of Agriculture forecasts a record 211 million tonnes of Chinese corn production, up from 205.6 million last year.

Kasting said production estimates are difficult because there is considerable uncertainty about seeded acreage. However, the group did get hints about plantings.

“There were some reports that China’s corn belt has expanded a

If the crop is coming in looking good and feed demand is a little soft it may temper their import demand to some extent.

little further north than some of the analysts on the trip had anticipated, so there may be more acreage coming into play,” he said.

If China has a good crop on expanded acreage you wouldn’t know it by looking at domestic prices for corn, which are above world prices.

“There’s some tightness there from some source. Whether that’s government rebuilding reserves we don’t know,” said Kasting.

While in China, Kasting attended the ninth JCI Autumn Conference on China Feed Raw Materials Market and the 2013 U.S./China Swine Industry Development Forum.

“There was a lot of discussion of China’s domestic demand being a little soft at this point,” he said.

A number of feed millers said demand is down due to the lingering effects of bird flu and a trough in the hog cycle.

There was also talk of slumping meat demand due to China’s economic slowdown and a government crackdown on lavish entertainment functions.

Kasting said China has gone through a leadership transition and the new government is responding to corruption concerns by reining in government expenditures at official functions.

“It would be an overstatement to call it an austerity thing but they’re trying to tone it down a little bit,” he said.

“Several of the people we spoke to said that’s actually significant enough to have an effect on aggregate demand.”

Another factor that could influence Chinese corn demand is its growing appetite for grain sorghum.

Sorghum costs less than Chinese corn and is not subject to tariff rate quotas.

Kasting also expects a rebound in Chinese corn demand but he’s not sure of the magnitude.

“If the crop is coming in looking good and feed demand is a little soft it may temper their import demand to some extent,” he said.

Arlan Suderman, senior market analyst with Water Street Advisory, is far more bullish about the outlook for global corn use.

“I think demand is going to surprise. I think demand is going to be stronger than what the trade thinks,” he said.

Global corn stocks shrank last year due to short crops in the U.S. and South America. “In terms of days of supply globally, we’re really not that far away from the tightest supplies of the last 40 years,” he said.

Suderman noted Middle Eastern and African governments have been toppled because of rising food costs.

“There’s a lot of important customers who would like to rebuild their reserves this year,” he said.

The Wichita, Kansas, analyst also anticipates pent-up demand will materialize from the livestock and ethanol sectors.

“Cheap prices do buy demand and relative to where we’ve been the last four or five years, these are cheap prices,” said Suderman.

However, he’s not convinced that stronger-than-expected global demand will be enough to reverse corn’s downward price trend, spurred by the USDA’s forecast for a record U.S. corn crop and 1.86 billion bushels of carryout.

“Until I can say that stocks are going to be below one billion bushels there’s really no reason for the market to get too concerned and I can’t do that at this point,” he said.

Traders and analysts love to disagree with United States Department of Agriculture reports, but without them, there’s nowhere to even begin a debate about the true state of crops.

That’s what farmers, traders, analysts and commercial crop users are discovering now that USDA reports are suspended because the U.S. government is partially shut down while Congress wrangles over the budget.

There’s no official baseline any more — at the most sensitive time of the farming year.

“People don’t like to be in the dark.

Markets don’t like to be in the dark,” J.P. Gervais, Farm Credit Canada’s chief economist said.

Regular, minor USDA reports have not been issued for days, such as crop status and progress, weekly exports and livestock cash markets. Other U.S. government reports, such as the Commitment of Traders report of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, are also unavailable, leaving much fog hanging over the underlying nature of futures market positions.

Futures markets had to alter or suspend some products until they have data again.

So far, markets are carrying on without fresh USDA numbers.

But Gervais said traders won’t know what to do when the World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report is not released as scheduled Oct. 11.

That report contains updated estimates of U.S. crop production, as soybean and corn harvest advances.

The report also estimates global production.

The October WASDE report is critical, setting the table for the markets until the South American harvest begins. If the report surprises market players, prices can move wildly.

“If you look at the October report, over the past few years that’s a critical report,” said Gervais.

“For all the controversy with USDA reports… it’s still the biggest piece of central information we have.”

Upon the issue of any major USDA report, analysts and traders debate and question the findings, but most respect the USDA’s efforts to establish a well-sourced assessment of the true supply and demand situation.

The reports help establish a market consensus on the world supply and demand for major crops.

There are other sources of information, from private companies, other governments, farm and trade organizations, but none have the widely accepted credibility of the USDA’s rigorous efforts.

“I don’t think there’s a tool as good as the USDA in aggregating information to end up with a stocks-to-use ratio that stitches together all the information in the market,” said Gervais.

Mike Krueger of advisory service The Money Farm thinks grain companies and exporters will be OK without USDA information for a while, but some major players in the markets lack the commercial basis to develop their own notions of the underlying supply and demand situation.

“It’s the speculator that’s flying in the darkness right now,” said Krueger on Oct. 7.

“They won’t have harvest progress reports this afternoon. We don’t know day to day whether there have been any export sales over 100,000 tonnes.”

The U.S. government shutdown has nothing to do with agriculture, but the timing is terrible because U.S. crops are coming in and the market is desperate for updated information as soon as it is available.

Even when the U.S. government’s non-essential services, such as USDA reports, are reinstated, reports will almost certainly be delayed for days as agency staff undertake the gargantuan task of chasing down crop information through its large scale surveys.

Then the analysts take necessary time to extrapolate the true commercial situation and outlook from the numbers they arrive at.

Kr ueger said he wonders if USDA will cancel the October WASDE report, if it is delayed for too long, turning instead to the November report, making it more potentially explosive in its implications.

One positive outcome of the shutdown, Krueger said, is that it is making the crop markets realize its reliance upon USDA data.

“We always trash the USDA, but no matter what you think of the numbers, they always put numbers out in some sort of way and we’re missing them,” he said.

Soybean area up, corn down in South America Record soybean crop anticipated | Production in Argentina and Brazil affects global prices

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Corn and soybean markets are focused on U.S. production but it won’t be long before the gaze shifts to South America.

When it does, the markets will see the potential for increased soybean production and decreased corn output, according to two U.S. Grains Council consultants.

What happens with those two crops in South America will influence the prices of canola, wheat and other crops grown in Western Canada.

Summer corn planting usually starts around mid-August in Brazil and Argentina. Soybean planting begins in mid-September in Brazil and early October in Argentina.

Planting of both crops has been delayed due to dry conditions in key states and provinces.

Delays in corn planting and lackluster prices will likely result in corn land shifting to soybeans in both countries, say analysts.

“There will be a significant reduction in corn summer area,” Alfredo Navarro, the USG’s consultant in Brazil, said in an email response to questions provided by The Western Producer.

He is forecasting a 15 percent or 1.7 million acre reduction in summer corn plantings, which will likely result in four million fewer tonnes of summer corn than 2012-13.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture forecasts 72 million tonnes of summer and winter corn production in Brazil. Navarro believes that reduction is too drastic. He predicts 74.5 million tonnes of production.

Dolores Rodriguez Pareja, the USG’s consultant in Argentina, forecasts 8.55 million acres of corn, down six percent from last year.

Eight percent of summer corn acres have been planted, down nine percent from last year’s seeding pace, she said in an email.

Rodriguez Pareja believes 250,000 acres will be switched from corn to soybeans due to soybean prices

holding up better than corn. Corn is also 2.5 times more expensive to plant.

Soybeans may pick up an additional 450,000 acres from sunflowers, which were not planted due to drought in northeastern Argentina.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture is forecasting 26 million tonnes of corn production in Argentina, down slightly from the 26.5 million tonnes produced last year.

Rodriguez Pareja said 26 million tonnes is possible if farmers achieve trend-line yields.

The USDA is forecasting 88 million tonnes of soybean production in Brazil, up from 82 million tonnes last year.

Navarro believes that is a reasonable estimate. Brazil’s National Institute of Meteorology forecasts normal summer weather in the two main soybean-producing states of Mato

Grosso and Goias.

He is optimistic about 2013-14 soybean export prospects.

“There are indications that China will be in the market buying a lot.

Brazilian real (currency) devaluation also increases competitiveness of Brazilian beans,” said Navarro.

The USDA is forecasting 53.5 million tones of soybean production in Argentina, up from 49.4 million tonnes last year.

Honesty provides best market results HEDGE ROW

W

ould you try to jam a Mac operating system into a PC computer?

How about the reverse?

Of course you wouldn’t, unless you’re an idiot, because you’d realize that you cannot just force a cat to become a dog. These are fundamentally different creatures.

Yet that’s what some farmers expect to see with the farm marketing advisers, analysts and newspapers they rely upon for market advice and information.

Some want these people and organizations to privately give them the best, honest marketing advice they’ve got, but then become dishonest spinners of market opinion when they speak in public.

If the market is likely to go down, they want the adviser to privately tell them to sell, but then say out loud stuff that is designed to push prices back up. Or if they won’t do that, to just shut up. They don’t want the analyst (or newspaper) to give an honest view, but to deliberately engage in manipulation.

I recently witnessed this happening when some farmers were berating an analyst that had spoken to The Western Producer about the giant size of this year’s prairie crop.

They were annoyed that his comments, and our coverage, might help push prices down as buyers realized that there’s lots of crop out there.

And the analyst was even accused of

deliberately giving a bearish view in aid of some bizarre company interest, with his employer somehow benefiting from crop prices going down.

This didn’t rattle the analyst much because he could fall back on a simple truth: he was giving his honest opinion, whether anyone likes it or not.

And that’s what he does for a living.

That to me is the crucial value of the traders, advisers, analysts and market commentators I rely upon in my work as a markets reporter: they are fearless with their views of the market, even if those opinions are likely to be unpopular, are different from those of their colleagues and could possibly have a market impact.

Like a good referee, they call it as they see it.

I’m often surprised at just how frank and open traders and analysts are when I call them — out of the blue always — to get their take on the markets. Immediately, they spill forth a complex analysis of competing factors and dynamics. They never need a moment to think about it.

That’s because you don’t need to think much about something if you’re telling the truth, and that’s their stock in trade.

And it’s what the markets rely upon.

Markets are voracious consumers of data, information and analysis. The more and better info markets get, the better they operate in their crucial role of establishing prices.

And that’s something all farmers rely upon: well-functioning markets.

Most farmers get this with both analysts and newspapers like The Western Producer. We cover the situation as it is, as best as we can discover it, and don’t intentionally misrepresent situations, even if we occasionally get things wrong.

We have an operating system that values honest opinion, and if you want something different, you’d better turn somewhere else.

Stats Canada lentil forecast below trade expectations Still a big crop | World production is down, which could help exports

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Statistics Canada’s lentil number was the most hotly contested of the agency’s September pulse production estimates.

Stat Publishing said the 1.71 million tonne forecast was at least 200,000 tonnes below trade expectations.

Some think the final number could exceed the 2009-10 record of two million tonnes.

Marlene Boersch, partner in Mercantile Consulting Venture Inc., may be the exception. She thinks Statistics Canada’s estimate is a reasonable number.

“I might be wrong but I have the sentiment that in some areas the lentil production wasn’t quite the record highs of some of the other crops,” she said.

Using Statistics Canada’s number would result in about two million tonnes of total lentil supply, which is a big crop to move.

Fortunately, world production is expected to be down about 10 percent in the major exporting and consuming nations.

The U.S. has a smaller crop, Turkish production is down about 50,000 tonnes, Syria has nothing to export and there is talk that Indian production will be down as growers in that country switched to alternative crops.

“We shouldn’t have too much of a problem to market most of the volume that we have. Will the values go up? Potentially,” said Boersch.

For that to happen the pace of exports will have to pick up. A slow start to the season has been exacerbated by political unrest in the Middle East.

“The pipeline isn’t pulling as nicely as it has been on the peas,” she said.

Statistics Canada is forecasting a record 3.78 million tonnes of pea production.

“I think production could even be slightly higher yet,” said Boersch.

She’s not overly concerned about the giant pea crop. China has been an active buyer early this crop year and Boersch expects India will be a big buyer once again despite forecasts for a good kharif or winter chickpea crop.

Shipments to India are off to a much slower start than last year but Boersch remains hopeful for the remainder of

MARLENE BOERSCH MERCANTILE CONSULTING VENTURE INC.

the 2013-14 marketing campaign.

“Peas are still by far the cheapest pulse and I think we’ll do more of our regular exports to India,” she said.

Boersch is forecasting 450,000 tonnes of pea carryout, up from 174,000 tonnes last year, which is bearish for prices.

“Our stocks-to-use ratio will certainly go up,” she said.

The biggest special crops surprise was the canaryseed estimate of 97,500 tonnes, the smallest birdseed harvest since 1988’s crop of 59,900 tonnes.

Stat Publishing said many in the trade believe the seeded area was as big as last year, which would suggest a crop of 155,000 tonnes.

Boersch believes Statistics Canada has underestimated acreage, yield and carryout.

“If their numbers are correct we’d have to export less than 100,000 tonnes. I think we can do a little better than that,” she said.

But it is clear there won’t be enough canaryseed to service the usual 175,000 tonnes of demand.

Boersch said the biggest problem in the canaryseed industry is a lack of information on factors like price and crop movement.

“It has become a very, very difficult commodity. Farmers’ values are suffering because we don’t really know the flow anymore and price visibility is not great,” she said.

FED CATTLE LOWER Packers had good captive supply but feedlots were current in their marketing.

The result was light trade last week with lower cash prices.

Fed steers averaged $117.84 per hundredweight, down $1.50, while heifers were $116.76, down $1.77.

Dressed sales generally were $198 per cwt. delivered, down from $199$201 the week before.

A few cattle went to the U.S. at prices comparable or at a slight premium over local sales.

Cattle sold to the U.S. were scheduled to be lifted within a week whereas local lift times are sitting two to three weeks out.

Alberta fed cash-to-futures basis weakened $1.47 to close at -$13.93.

The five-year average is -$12.11.

Basis levels have not been this weak since mid-April.

More slaughter cows will be available soon and packers will meet some of their needs that way.

There is little incentive for Canadian packers to buy for later delivery because the new country of origin labelling rules coming at end of November will likely restrict access to the U.S. But in the short term, American packers should be aggressive on the Canadian fed market.

Normally fed prices rise at the time of year but that is unlikely unless there is a change in the U.S. market.

SLAUGHTER COWS UP Cow prices were up $1-$1.50 per cwt. on a seasonally light volume. D1, D2 cows ranged $72-$83 to average $78 and D3s ranged $64-$75 to average $69.30.

Rail cow prices were mostly steady at $150-$155 delivered.

Butcher bull prices fell 74 cents to average $86.18 per cwt.

Weekly western Canadian slaughter to Sept. 28 rose eight percent to 6,761 head.

Weekly non-fed exports to Sept. 21 were unavailable.

American buyer interest will support prices this week, to help offset the negative pressure from increased supplies going to market now that harvest is over.

FEEDER PRICES SURGE There was a large offering of quality feeders but prices rallied on strong demand.

Calves 300-400 pounds rose sharply. Middle weight steer surged $3-$4 per cwt. and heifers rose $2-$3.

Feeders 700-800 lb. were little changed, perhaps indicating off-type yearlings in the mix.

Steers heavier than 800 lb. rose $1-$2 while heifers in that class rose more modestly.

WP LIVESTOCK REPORT CASH HOGS LOWER A seasonal increase in marketready hog supplies pushed U.S. cash hog prices lower.

The partial shutdown of the U.S. government stopped production of several U.S. Department of Agriculture livestock market reports.

Dealers and producers continued delivering, selling and pricing hogs, using terminal hog prices, basing cash prices off futures, and using Urner Barry’s Yellow Sheet prices, dealers told Reuters.

Iowa-southern Minnesota hogs delivered to packing plants fell to $67.50 US per hundredweight Oct. 4, down from $70 Sept. 27.

The U.S. pork cutout and weekly slaughter numbers are not available because of the U.S. government shutdown.

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.

here is an adage in the grain market that big crops get bigger.

It means that when weather co-operates to produce bumper crops, each time agencies such as Statistics Canada assessed the crop size, the estimates get bigger.

The adage was heard a lot in recent days as analysts assessed Statistics Canada’s September crop report, issued Oct. 4.

It said production was huge, as expected.

The canola number, a record 15.96 million tonnes, was within the range of analysts’ expectations but prices edged lower the day of the report as traders expect even bigger numbers when StatsCan releases its final November crop report in early December.

LIFESTYLE MARKETING | A&W BEEF

CRAIG’S VIEW

A&W needs to be careful with ‘better beef’ campaign

F

ood outlet A&W is updating its image and a key component is a campaign touting its “pure beef guarantee.”

The company, the second largest burger chain in Canada, says it will buy only from ranches that raise beef without added hormones or steroids and use antibiotics only for therapeutic purposes. Its beef will have no additives or preservatives.

A&W’s website introduces readers to the ranchers in Canada, the United States and Australia. All appear to be excellent, progressive producers.

Success in the burger business requires innovative marketing. Fast food chains are in the commodity business, all selling similar products: ground beef, chicken, French fries and sugary drinks.

They once differentiated themselves with catchy jingles and cartoon character mascots but now have more sophisticated lifestyle marketing programs.

Criticized for contributing to obesity, environmental degradation and animal suffering, they are responding with healthier menus, welfare and environmental codes and other initiatives to connect with sophisticated consumers.

The issue with A&W’s campaign, as the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association and others have noted, is that by scientific measure A&W’s “better” beef is no more healthy or safe than other Canadian beef.

The CCA noted that antimicrobials and growth promoters have been used for decades, are approved by Health Canada and there is no scientific proof that they harm animals or humans.

“No matter the brand or method of production, when consumers buy Canadian beef they can be confident they are buying the finest beef available,” said the CCA. Ranchers and feedlots use these products primarily for economic reasons.

Treated animals use feed more efficiently, growing quickly to larger carcass sizes that produce more revenue for the producer.

And because the products reduce the feed and water used and greenhouse gases produced per pound of beef, they also

provide environmental benefits.

But the debate over growth promoters in beef production goes far beyond a particular burger chain’s advertising.

The use of hormones in cattle has long been a trade issue with Europe, which bans their use because of human health concerns although the results of World Trade Organization challenges show the concern is unfounded.

The Ontario Medical Association recently called for a ban on antibiotics in livestock feed, saying the practice contributes to drug resistant infections in humans. The livestock industry replied with studies showing the practice doesn’t contribute significantly to the problem.

Another controversy focuses on another type of growth promoter called beta-agonists. Russia, China and the European Union won’t import meat from livestock treated with the products and a major U.S. packer, Tyson will no longer accept animals treated with one of the products, Zilmax, because of concerns related to lameness and stress in hot weather.

The maker, Merck, says its evidence shows the product is safe, but has stopped marketing it while an independent panel determines if the welfare concerns are legitimate.

While the scientific studies pile up, most consumers likely ignore them, making their buying decisions on price, convenience, emotion, personal ethical codes and world views.

The best that food producers can do is to continue to pursue a scientific basis for their practices, even if the foundation seems set in shifting sand.

Following science-based best practices helps ensure food safety and enhances food producers’ own brand image, emphasizing the industry’s sincerity and commitment to do the right thing .

We hope that food retailers realize this when they design their promotions and when they stake their ground they shouldn’t imply other food is unsafe .

BEEF | SCIENCE VERSUS EMOTION

Food purchases are becoming an ethical calculation for discerning consumers. How Canada’s beef sector interprets and responds to these requirements is vitally important.

We absolutely have to be a science based system. But we have to listen to customers’ concerns or questions and provide them with choice.

FOOD SAFETY | PERCEPTION VERSUS SCIENCE

Consumers taking over debate on safety of antibiotics in meat production NATIONAL VIEW

BARRY WILSON

R

on Doering, former president of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and now a food law lawyer in Ottawa, has had an epiphany on the question of antibiotic safety in meat.

It’s not that he necessarily disputes scientific conclusions that meat from antibiotic treated animals is safe if properly done.

And he long has been an advocate

of “science-based” food rules and continues to hold that view about genetically modified material in food, opposing the call for mandatory labelling.

Doering once was chair of an advisory committee to the agriculture minister on the CFIA where he expounded these views.

But he got to thinking when his wife and daughter began to question his assertion that science and testing will ensure use of antibiotics in Canada’s meat industry is safe. If that is the case, why are more products on grocery shelves being labelled ‘antibiotic-free’, they wondered?

Doering wondered too, even as the poultry, hog and beef industries continue to insist the retail product is safe because with proper use, there are no drug residues at the time of slaughter.

Media and consumer investigations have shown otherwise in some cases and opponents argue that antibiotic residues in some products are resulting in effects on consumers, particularly children.

In response, many industry groups have created voluntary codes of practice and guidelines.

It is not always working to placate skeptical consumers, driven more by intuition than dense scientific papers, nor some trading partners that refuse to accept drug-injected animals.

Increasing numbers of meat companies are selling their product as sourced from animals not given antibiotics and consumers are flocking to those products.

Ironically, Doering was president of the CFIA when it agreed that companies could use hormone-free and

antibiotic-free on their product labels as long as it could be verified.

He now says the proliferation of those labels has raised questions in consumers’ minds that industry has not answered.

It’s because of a gap between scientific legitimacy and democratic legitimacy, he says, between what scientists say is safe and what consumers believe is safe.

“Many consumers are scientifically illiterate but they are not stupid,” he wrote in a food law column published this week. “If there’s no problem, they ask, why are so many other major countries tightening their regulations? And why do we see such a proliferation of ‘antibiotic-free’ labels in meat counters?”

Industry critics would argue that it is the rise of a politicization of food

safety rules that result in emotions from misinformed consumers ruling the roost rather than the science based findings of safety.

Doering has a different view.

He figures it is a consumer perception based on knowledge that antibiotics are used not just to combat disease but on healthy animals so they do not get disease and therefore grow faster.

Many call this using unnecessary antibiotics as a growth promotants.

The Ontario Medical Association has called for a ban on using antibiotics as growth promotants.

“I think while we have debated the science, the market moved beyond it,” says Doering.

“Risk assessment always is science based. Risk management is policy based. That’s the distinction.”

FARM SAFETY | REALITY

XL recall had positive effect on food safety

WP doesn’t condone unsafe farm practices

BY SYLVAIN CHARLEBOIS

F

ood safety crises often lead to better things. The XL Foods recall, the largest in Canadian history, happened just over a year ago, and has arguably had a positive impact on industry and regulations alike.

The latest Gort’s Gouda Cheese Farm recall involving raw milk cheeses will likely not be an exception either. In that case, one person died and another 22 were made ill from E. coli O157:H7.

Over the years, most recalls have barely affected how consumers perceive risks.

The XL Foods incident, in which 18 people became ill w ith E. coli O157:H7 infections after eating beef from the Brooks, Alta., facility, failed to significantly affect the relationship Canadian consumers have with their favourite steaks.

Purchases of bovine proteins have remained fairly robust even though sales have continued to dwindle for the past 25 years or so.

Industry-wise, some key players have also changed for the better. In government, after a public mea culpa, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency is aggressively addressing long-standing organizational issues for the betterment of our food safety systems.

First, the XL Foods recall led to a change in management and, soon after, ownership. The transition literally happened during the investigation. Brazilian giant JBS’s arrival in Brooks, Alta., was welcome news for many local stakeholders. The influx of capital and expertise from interna-

Food recalls are unfortunate but lead to changes in regulations and protocols in food handling that improve food safety. | FILE PHOTO tional markets has allowed the plant to keep its employees and improve processes.

Most importantly, JBS’s culture on risk management contrasts with that of the former owners, and aligns more effectively with our federal regulations in food safety.

At the same time, the CFIA has become a better regulator as a result of the recall. When it comes to oversight and inspections, the XL foods recall allowed the agency, and perhaps the public, to understand that capacity is not necessarily as important as how risk monitoring actually manifests itself on site.

The agency’s newly adopted riskbased inspection oversight is a refreshing change for both industry and government. It is a more structured approach to analyzing risks in

an open system, which means our system will not only be more connected with other countries, it will also become more transparent and customized to any establishment’s compliance history.

In other words, risk surveillance will now become more strategic and consumers will now have the ability to understand what goes on during inspections.

In the domain of risk communication in the era of modern social networking, this can only make more sense. Interconnectedness between the agency and the consumer, which has been a challenge for many years, will be more apparent.

The other uplifting change has been the unequivocal recognition that inspectors need training and that standards applicability needs to

be more uniform across the board.

In order for industry to be compliant, it needs consistency in terms of how regulations are interpreted by those upholding them, that is, the inspectors.

This is a godsend for industry, and more so for consumers. In the end, the powers of nurturing the culture of food safety will supersede the lingering paradigm, which suggests that more inspections offer safer food for Canadians.

Consumers are sometimes confused about food safety and why blame them? Industry and regulators alike are equally confused about how to communicate risks to the public.

At some point, media will have to play a secondary role to the CFIA as our country’s premier food safety information outlet. These shortcomings are slowly being addressed.

Climate change, consumer choices, and even our unclear economics are making risks more challenging to foresee.

As such, the CFIA and industry need to be predisposed to adaptable methods of managing risks, which is the intent of this new approach by the CFIA. The devastating effects of the XL Foods recall were not in vain. There is evidence that we’ve learned from it.

Let’s make sure the learning process continues as we move on to the next major recall.

FOOD MARKETING | MISINFORMATION

Putting money where my mouth is means ‘no’ to A&W HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

N

otice to A&W. You have lost my business. Even though you have rural restaurants that I’ve often patronized, I’ll try my best to eat elsewhere from now on.

Major players in the food business are increasingly making decisions that have no basis in science.

A&W says their burgers are better because the beef has been produced without the use of hormones.

Even if they have to get the beef from outside of Canada, it’s going to come from hormone-free producers.

This is a carefully calculated business decision. No doubt A&W will have to pay a small premium to source their beef, but they now have

a new marketing tool to differentiate themselves from the other burger chains. They think they can gain market share and more than compensate for any extra costs.

Their plan is predicated on keeping existing customers and gaining new ones. Well, this existing customer is leaving. Maybe if enough like-minded people did the same, food suppliers would rethink their attacks on science.

The President’s Choice line of products from Galen Weston is also on my try not to buy list. It’s the same reason that I balk at organic and allnatural products, although at least an organic label has some established standards.

Imagine two virtually identicallooking food products side by side in the grocery store. They are the same price, but one is labelled organic and one is not. Which one do you buy? I buy the non-organic. In fact, I’d even pay more for non-organic.

Organic doesn’t necessarily mean local. It isn’t any safer, as numerous organic food recalls have proven. It

may or may not have a lower carbon footprint. And it’s deceitful because the label implies a product that’s safer and better for the environment.

And then there’s the GMO issue.

While visiting the left coast (B.C.) for a conference, we had breakfast at a small resort café. The tomato slice had green streaks. The manager explained that this was an heirloom variety, not genetically modified like regular tomatoes you see in the store.

I didn’t bother telling him that there are no genetically modified tomatoes in the marketplace, nor that regular plant breeding has worked to improve plant varieties for hundreds of years.

The non-GMO crowd is horribly misinformed and they don’t want to be confused by the facts. The fight to get GMO foods labelled isn’t about choice. It’s a way to bash science.

Folks that want their foods organic and GMO free tend to be the same folks who think raw unpasteurized milk has to be better for you.

Choice is good and everyone is

entitled to their opinions, but it really irks me when food promotion campaigns spread falsehoods.

Food wasn’t safer 10 or 20 or 30 years ago. Many of those old-time production practices had inherent health dangers.

And whether it’s a hormone, an antibiotic, a pesticide or a genetic modification, tens of millions of dollars are spent on extensive scientific scrutiny before anything is approved for the marketplace.

Our society faces important foodrelated issues. Many of us eat too much and a lot of it is junk. As far as safety goes, the biggest risk comes from how foods are stored and prepared in the home.

All-natural, hormone-free, organic and non-GMO are distractions from the real issues.

These nonsensical food offerings are becoming more mainstream, but I’m going to make a conscious effort to avoid them. Want to join me?

EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

JOANNE PAULSON, EDITOR

Y

ou can’t get anything past Western Producer readers.

Not that we were trying to do so, but it’s amazing what careful readers you are.

Recently, we published a photograph on page one of a man lying under a header and grinding away on a repair job.

The sparks were flying, far enough and hot enough to sprinkle our photographer and the effort made quite a spectacular picture.

What none of us managed to notice was that the safety prop was not in place. Dazzled by the sparks glowing in the photo, and the timeliness of someone trying to fix a combine during harvest, we just did not see it.

But you did. I don’t know how many phone calls and letters and emails we received on the subject, but they were legion.

There is an ongoing debate about publishing photographs that do not necessarily reflect best safety practices.

Recently, we also ran a photo of a girl curled up inside a tractor wheel.

That one, too, elicited some responses — some of them quite angry.

Some of our readers say that we should not be publishing such photos, because they illustrate the wrong way of doing things, and therefore condone or promote these behaviours. We certainly do not condone anything that is not safe.

However, we have long held the view that we are here to depict farm life as it is, warts and all. Illustrations of unsafe situations usually generate quite a bit of debate and discussion, much of it quite heated (although most of it also polite). That is what we are here for — to inform, but also to generate debate.

I believe that discussion is where best practices come from — not entirely from safety manuals, although of course that’s a crucial first step.

But safe behaviour can be strongly influenced by friends, family and community. I’m willing to bet that photo generated a heck of a lot of conversation around dinner tables and in coffee shops, and that’s a good thing even if The WP took some heat.

Over and above crop prices and weather, safety is always, always the most important thing.

Thank you to everyone who called to point that out, and to everyone who pointed it out to a neighbour.

And please, be safe out there.

MANY POSITIVE ACTIONS To the Editor: We would like to take this opportunity to respond to the many articles in the media recently regarding the use of pesticides and their interaction

with honeybees.

In particular, neonicotinoid insecticides are the ones in the spotlight and it seems most of the reported incidents have been in the Ontario and Quebec regions.

While most media to date has been bringing a clear message that nothing is being done or not enough is being done, we would like to bring you up to speed, as well as commend a few stakeholders on recent announcements, which we would consider positive actions being taken.

Firstly, Health Canada has released a Notice of Intent, NOI2013-01, Action to Protect Bees from Exposure to Neonicotinoid Pesticides.

Within this intent, they are seeking input from the various stakeholders

including the beekeeping industry, as well as already placing some requirements for the 2014 seeding season. I believe this is a positive action by Health Canada.

Secondly, DuPont has announced a neonicotinoid-free seed offering.

Once again, we believe this is a positive action taken by the seedpesticide industry.

In addition, Bayer CropScience has introduced a new class of chemistry as an alternative to imidacloprid.

The new active ingredient is a systemic from the butenolide chemical class and is active on sucking insect pests. The (active ingredient) is flupyradifurone. It will be marketed under the trade name Sivanto.

It is marketed as a bee friendly product with no bloom (application) restrictions. It will be registered in 2015.

As you can see, there seems to be good progress being made on reducing the risk and exposure of possibly harmful chemicals to bees.

There are of course some other efforts being made as well, but these are just ones from the recent weeks.

So as a lot of the public is being told nothing is being done, we would beg to differ.

Thanks to a combined effort from the Canadian Honey Council (the national beekeepers trade organization) along with other stakeholders, and the effort to have meaningful discussion, it would seem progress is being made.

The Alberta Beekeepers Commission would like to thank these organizations for the steps being taken and the efforts that have been made to have a sustainable beekeeping industry in today’s ever changing agricultural climate.

DO THE MATH To the Editor: In his letter of Sept. 19, “Unbalanced arguments,” John De Pape criticizes Eric Sagan for an argument supposedly short on facts.

However, it seems Mr. De Pape sees nothing wrong with presenting his own specious points in support of his own premise, namely the financial benefits of loading a producer car.

Mr. De Pape says that any decrease in producer car numbers are due to reduced financial benefits.

This is because, as he states : “Without the single desk around, grain companies are competing for your business much more aggressively. This has cut into their margins and farmers are reaping the benefits”.

Really? First of all, how can grain companies now be competing more aggressively for something they never competed for previously?

Secondly, a local producer recently shipped a carload of wheat and was paid for 12.5 percent protein. The car unload data showed the wheat was graded at a significantly higher protein level.

When queried, the company stated that they had called for a “minimum” of 12.5 percent protein, therefore that determines what they pay.

So much for farmers reaping the

OPINION benefits these “aggressive” companies provide.

Mr. De Pape persists that because of this aggressive competition, the financial benefit of loading a producer car is a lot lower.

In fact, farmers have always loaded producer cars for the financial benefit of saving elevation charges of approximately $14 per tonne (or more), plus what is usually a much reduced trucking distance (therefore lower costs), plus an appreciable savings in time. My understanding is that this still holds true.

With 90 tonnes to a car, Mr. De Pape should be capable of doing the math and adhere to his own dictum with respect to presenting a complete and balanced argument based on fact.

Don Scott, Garrick, Sask.

FARMER BENEFITS? To the Editor: No surprise that my claim that the honeymoon is over with the open market brought an immediate response from Levi Woods, Western Canadian Wheat Grower (WCWG), and cheerleader of the Western Canadian Wheat Growers John De Pape (WP Sept. 19).

What lacks in both their attacks on me is where are the benefits for farmers, since the single desk CWB has been eliminated?

They have no numerical facts to base their accusations. Woods states farmers receive better grades.

With the price between #1 and #2 CWRS sometimes only being five cents a bushel the grade is almost irrelevant to the price received, not to mention the watered down protein premiums.

He also claims the Canadian Independent Federation of Business survey states the move to end the single desk has had a positive impact on their business.

Since when do they speak for farmers and how many farmers are in their group?

Wo o d s a l s o s t at e d h i s g ro u p receives no federal funding; perhaps he should open up the books to clarify this issue.

It is hard to believe less than 300 members totally finance the operation. Oh yeah, but I forgot all the “contract” work they do for the government and their “corporate” sponsors. If things are positive for farmers now we should see the national farm debt for western Canadian farms start to drop.

It is disgusting that the WCWG for the past 40 years have worked against the farmers interests and divided one farmer against another and tried to crucify some farmers in favour of helping the corporate interests to lobby insane farm policies at the expense of all farmers.

WOMEN IN CHURCH | MARY MAGDALENE

Friendships revitalize, encourage, spur us forward SPIRITUAL VIGNETTES

JOYCE SASSE

Women’s ability to be comforting, spiritual leaders often forgotten

O

ccasions when we got together were rare, but I came away from time with my

friend feeling revitalized. She had a way of listening, encouraging and adding fresh dimensions to our conversation.

How precious. She’s no longer here, but the memories kindle a warmth in my spirit.

When we think about the life of Jesus, do we think about his intimate friendships?

The disciples sat at his feet, listened to his teachings, tended to the daily tasks and tried to control their individual ambitions.

But I’m not sure they had much capacity to provide the nurture and vitality that was as important as daily bread.

The more I read about Mary Magdalene, the more I sense she was an

intimate friend. Clues about her come through one of the Coptic Church’s sacred books.

The original manuscript of the Gospel of Mary is only partial, but it reflects thoughts and conversations that might have gone on between Jesus and Mary.

Mary didn’t write the manuscript.

But she was there at the crucifixion and the resurrection and beyond these times.

Later, when the disciples were discouraged, or feared for their lives, and as they argued, she must have comforted, challenged and enabled them to carry on.

The manuscript is a composition of what she passed on. It was as if she was directing them in a time of tur-

bulence to follow her commitment and seek the deeper Good.

When we look back on the formation of Christian doctrine, we have the benefit of creeds and prayers, manuscripts and councils.

But in the middle of the second century, when Mary’s Gospel was written, such declarations of faith did not yet exist.

Later the male-dominated Church of the Dark Ages saw to it that input from female church leaders was purged or tainted.

We are indebted to the Coptics for insights into this shared friendship.

ELECTRICITY | ORGANIC WASTE

Organic waste electric plant breaks new ground Decade in the making | European plant builder saves the day

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

A biogas co-generation plant is functioning after more than 10 years of running the bureaucratic gauntlet.

Lethbridge Biogas, located in the county just outside Lethbridge city limits, is using manure and other organic waste to produce gas used to generate electricity. The plant began accepting material this spring and is expected to be fully operating within about a month.

Stefan Michalski, a director in the venture, said the plant is the only one of its kind in Canada.

“It was a little difficult to get this done, otherwise this wouldn’t have taken 10 years,” he said Oct. 3 during a tour of the facility.

Local concerns about potential odour, provincial regulations to prevent leakage and federal regulations related to dead stock processing all had to be managed by plant partners.

Additionally there were wrinkles to work through in terms of putting electricity into Alberta’s open market system.

Michalski said a joint venture of

local businesspeople was nearly ready to give up on the project when they encountered PlanET Biogastechnik, one of the largest biogas plant builders in Europe. That firm is now a partner in the operation.

Lethbridge Biogas will process organic waste, including livestock manure and all types of food processing material from Lethbridge plants. Availability of feedstock within a small radius was a primary reason for the plant’s location, said Michalski.

Once fully functioning, the plant will also accept dead stock and slaughter waste residue. Its thermal hydrolysis process is a Canadian Food Inspection Agency approved method of destroying prions, the proteins linked to BSE. The plant will be able to process 120,000 to 130,000 tonnes of organic material per year.

The waste product is put into one of three biodigester tanks, each with a capacity of 4,000 cubic metres. It is subjected to 40 C temperatures in the oxygen-free chambers.

The gas produced by bacteria is used to power two 20-cylinder recip-

STEFAN MICHALSKI LETHBRIDGE BIOGAS PLANT DIRECTOR

rocating engines that each generate 1.4 megawatts of electricity.

Heat is another byproduct of the process. Michalski said the plant itself requires only about half the heat from one engine, so the firm is exploring ways to use it for drying or providing it to nearby industrial users.

Organic product left over from the process can be used as fertilizer, having been processed into a form more readily accessible to plants.

The multiple types of output are a distinct advantage, Michalski said, adding he is often asked about the plant’s comparison to wind energy.

“Wind is a totally different subject, a totally different ballgame and wind does one thing and one thing only. It generates power, whereas this facility does a lot more.

“It has a waste management aspect, it has a fertilizer aspect, it has a power generation aspect.”

He said Lethbridge Biogas can produce enough electricity to supply the needs of Fort Macleod, a town with a population of about 3,000.

The plant uses state of the art computer technology, enabling operators to run it by cell phone if desired.

The four staff might rise to six once it is fully operational.

Michalski said there have been no complaints about odour, an issue that was contentious when the plant was first envisioned. A concrete wall lined with polyethylene surrounds the storage and biodigester tanks, and they sit on a base of condensed clay of the type required for oil and gas facilities.

The tanks themselves are eight metres tall and made of one-footthick concrete. They are lined with a

WATER | OLDMAN RIVER

Oldman River contaminants puzzling

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Technology for Lethbridge Biogas operations comes from Germany.

PlanET, one of the largest biogas plant builders in Europe, is a partner in the Lethbridge facility. | BARB GLEN PHOTOS double layer of Styrofoam, which is in turn covered with metal cladding.

The material must be stored for about 40 days before it starts producing usable gas that is scrubbed for the engines.

Michalski said co-generation plants are common in Europe. Ger-

many alone has about 6,000 plants, though the Lethbridge operation is bigger than most of those.

Such plants in Europe are offered a guaranteed rate for the electricity they produce, which makes the economics and financing much easier than they are in Alberta.

A university augments education and knowledge, but in the case of the Oldman River, the University of Lethbridge and its environs also augment the number of nutrients, coliforms and pesticides in the water.

Claudia Sheedy, a researcher with Agriculture Canada in Lethbridge, said researchers have no explanation for the higher concentration of contaminants found in the outflow below the university.

The storm water flowing into the river at that point draws water from a wider area on the city’s west side, so outflow does not come exclusively from the university campus.

Speaking to a tour group organized Oct. 3 by the Oldman Watershed Council, Sheedy explained the results from year two of a three-year study into how the city affects water quality in the Oldman River.

The OWC, city, Lethbridge College and Ag Canada are collaborating on the study.

Researchers test storm water outflows once a month from nine different urban sites during the summer.

They measure pesticides, nutrient loads and bacteria.

One site upstream of the city and another one downstream are also sampled.

Nutrient tests showed good news this year in terms of nitrogen and phosphorus, Sheedy said.

CLAUDIA SHEEDY RESEARCH SCIENTIST

“On average in 2013, we had less of all these nutrients in the outfalls compared to 2012, apar t from ammonia.”

But once again, the outflow below the university had higher nutrient loads, as well as more pesticides and bacteria compared to other sites.

Sheedy said results so far in this study are similar to findings from the mid 2000s.

Last year, tests detected 10 different pesticides among all the samples from all outflows. This year, 16 different pesticides were identified, most of them herbicides commonly used for broadleaf control and lawn care.

On average, Sheedy said three compounds per sample are found.

Researchers test for 104 different pesticides. Pesticide levels were lowest in samples upstream of the city.

She said many city dwellers think water in storm drains goes through the city’s water treatment plant. In fact, it goes into the river without treatment.

CANOLA | ROTATIONS

If you don’t rotate canola, rotate your herbicide: BASF Clearfield canola touted | BASF says switching to Clearfield will help control volunteers resistant to Roundup Ready and Liberty Link canola

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Mounting problems with volunteer canola are providing a jolt to a herbicide tolerant canola system that was on life support.

BASF Canada said Clearfield canola is gaining ground as growers push rotations and create agronomic headaches for themselves.

A BASF online poll of 401 western Canadian wheat and canola growers shows that only one in three are following the recommended once every four years rotation for the crop.

The results indicate that 44 percent of farmers are growing canola on a field once every three years, 25 percent every two years and one percent every year. “We don’t endorse or condone shorter rotations but if growers are opting for shorter ones there are other ways to be sustainable,� said Harley House, BASF Canada’s brand manager for Clearfield crops. “For whatever reason, if growers can’t rotate their crop they should rotate their system.�

The poll found that 41 percent of growers don’t switch herbicide toler-

ant systems and for those that do, there was no consensus on the frequency of when to swap systems.

House sees the survey results as an opportunity to boost the profile of Clearfield canola on the Canadian Prairies.

Low market share Clearfield accounts for an estimated five percent of canola acres, with Roundup Ready and Liberty Link varieties making up the remaining 95 percent.

Switching to Clearfield canola

helps growers manage weed resistance and control volunteer Roundup Ready and Liberty Link canola. “We’ve seen Clearfield kind of having a new relevance for people,� said House.

Clearfield acres went up in 2013 despite a three million acre decline in overall canola plantings. House thinks that has something to do with grower expectations that they’d be dealing with a lot of canola volunteers in 2013 due to violent windstorms that tossed around swaths during harvest 2012.

He also believes it has something to do with soaring corn and soybean acres in Manitoba. Growers in that province seeded a little over one million acres of soybeans this year, a 28 percent increase from 2012.

That is presenting a challenge for the province’s canola growers because if they’re growing Roundup Ready corn and soybeans in conjunction with Roundup Ready canola they’re going to have problems controlling volunteers. “We’ve seen some increased adoption of Clearfield canola in Manitoba for that reason,� said House.

Alberta dairy producer to sit on dairy commission

*

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Less than 20 years after he immigrated to Lacombe, Alta., from his Netherlands dairy farm, dairy producer Hennie Bos has been appointed to the Canadian Dairy Commission.

He joins chief executive officer and former Dairy Farmers of Canada president Jacques Laforge and former dairy processor and CDC chair Randy Williamson on the three-member federal commission that oversees the dairy supply management system.

In announcing the appointment, federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz noted that Bos has been in the dairy industry for more than three decades in Canada and The Netherlands.

Dairy Farmers of Canada president and British Columbia producer Wally Smith issued a statement calling Bos a “leader in the Canadian dairy industry who has dedicated his efforts to work with all stakeholders in the industry across Canada to sustain and improve our great Canadian dairy industry.�

Bos, who operates a dairy farm and a yogurt business in Lacombe, was chair of the board of Alberta Milk from 2009 until this year. He also represented Alberta on the DFC board.

He replaces Quebec dairy producer Gilles Martin from Quebec who was appointed by former federal minister Chuck Strahl in 2007.

CWB | FARMER CLASS ACTION

Federal Court set to hear class action arguments Motion to deny claim | Farmers say assets owned by the CWB were improperly confiscated by the federal government

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The wheels of justice will advance a little further this month in an ongoing dispute involving assets controlled by the former Canadian Wheat Board.

On Oct. 23, the Federal Court in Ottawa will consider a motion to dismiss a class action suit launched last year against the federal government and the wheat board.

The Dennis class action, launched in February 2012 on behalf of west-

ern Canadian wheat farmers Edward Dennis, Harold Bell, Nathan Macklin and Ian McCreary, seeks damages of $17 billion, allegedly caused by the elimination of the CWB’s single desk and the loss of farmer equity in CWB assets, including a $145 million contingency fund.

The defendants in the suit, represented by federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz and the CWB, filed a motion last August requesting that the claim be denied and the class action dismissed.

The Federal Court is scheduled to

hear arguments on both sides Oct. 23. There are no definitive timelines on when the court will render a decision.

Anders Bruun, a Winnipeg lawyer representing plaintiffs in the case, estimated that more than 1,000 farmers have signed onto the class action suit.

Bruun said the action can’t be certified until Ottawa’s motion to dismiss has been considered by the court.

Even if the court rules against Ottawa’s motion to dismiss, another 12 to 18 months could pass before the

class action is certified, depending on court schedules and the caseloads of lawyers involved.

Bill Gehl, a Saskatchewan farmer and chair of the Canadian Wheat Board Alliance, said farmer participation in the lawsuit will likely grow now that they realize farmer equity in CWB seems to have disappeared.

“Even farmers who haven’t traditionally been (single-desk) supporters are certainly interested in the assets of the CWB and how they were confiscated … by the federal government,” Gehl said.

There is a common belief among single desk supporters and open market advocates that farmers’ grain and the revenue it generated allowed the Canadian Wheat Board to acquire assets over the past 75 or 80 years, he said.

“That’s what we’re saying but I guess in the end, the courts are going to decide that,” Gehl said.

“Certainly we seem to have a federal government that doesn’t … have any issue with taking those assets.

We’re hoping that the courts see things differently.”

FPCC | APPOINTMENT

OTTAWA BUREAU

Agriculture minister Gerry Ritz has appointed Abbotsford, B.C., farmer Debra Etsell for a three-year term to the Farm Products Council of Canada.

The FPCC oversees poultry and egg supply management systems, as well as import check-off programs used to collect money for research and promotion.

This summer, the Canadian beef industry became the first to set up a border check-off scheme to raise money from imports.

This autumn, the council begins hearings on a proposal to create a red raspberry research market development agency for British Columbia.

The first hearing is scheduled to take place in Abbotsford on Oct. 22.

Etsell, director of Coligny Hill Farms Ltd., produces turkeys, hay and wine grapes on the family farm.

She is executive director of the B.C. Blueberry Council and has worked for the B.C. Agriculture Council.

Husband Garnet is also involved in agricultural politics.

He was second vice-president of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture and former president of the BCAC. He has been the main promoter of a Canadian Federation of Agriculture effort to develop a national food strategy.

Although Farm Products Council appointments are for a three-year term, re-appointment is possible at the pleasure of the agriculture minister.

The chair of the Ottawa-based Farm Products Council is former CFA president and Quebec hog producer Laurent Pellerin.

In his announcement, Ritz praised Etsell’s “hands-on farming experience and passion for seeing the sector grow.”

She replaces Abbotsford producer Ed De Jong, who retired earlier this year.

AGRIUM | INPUT RETAILER

Agrium top input retailer with 270 prairie outlets

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A new king has finally been crowned in Western Canada’s crop input business.

On Oct. 1, Agrium Inc. announced it had completed the acquisition of 217 retail outlets from Viterra Inc. The $300 million deal was originally announced on March 20, 2012, but it couldn’t be consummated until the Competition Bureau gave its blessing, which happened Sept. 5.

With 270 outlets, Agrium is now the biggest retailer of crop input products on the Prairies, with slightly more than the 258 Viterra owned in its prime. The

deal gives the fertilizer company about a 35 percent share of Western Canada’s crop input business.

“What we focus on in Agrium retail is not how big we are. It’s how good we are,” said Kevin Helash, managing director of Agrium Retail Canada.

“Our focus will continue to be on servicing our customers in Western Canada. That’s our top priority.”

Viterra president Kyle Jeworski said the sale ushers in a new era of crop input retailing in Western Canada.

“Now there’s going to be a fundamental shift in the industry,” he said during a recent interview at Ag West Bio Inc.’s annual meeting.

“By my rough calculations, there

will be about 75 percent of the ag retail industry that will not be tied to grain related assets.”

Not that long ago, grain companies were keen on providing one-stop services for farmers. They wanted to build integrated businesses that provided seed to growers in the spring, bought it in the fall and helped them with everything in between.

That philosophy has undergone a 180-degree change at Viterra since its purchase by Glencore Xstrata last year. As of Oct. 1, the grain company is completely out of the retail business.

“There’s arguments on both sides, but we want to make sure we stay

focused on the grain,” said Jeworski.

“But we can still be involved in the ag (retail) space with partnerships and agreements with various players.”

Agrium will be busy rebranding the Viterra assets with Crop Production Services signs through October.

But not all of the assets will receive new signage. The Competition Bureau concluded the acquisition of Viterra’s assets would lead to a “substantial lessening or prevention” of competition in retail sales of urea and anhydrous ammonia in certain areas of Alberta and Saskatchewan.

The bureau ordered Agrium to sell six retail stores in Alberta and one in Saskatchewan.

FINISH STRONG with the NEW LEXION.

“We’re going to work to get that accomplished as soon as possible, keeping in mind that we want to ensure our customer supply for the fall season is not disrupted,” said Helash.

In addition, Agrium has been instructed to divest six anhydrous ammonia businesses in Saskatchewan and three in Alberta and to supply anhydrous to any purchaser of the divested assets for up to four years at prices not to exceed what it charges its own retail outlets in those two provinces.

The remaining 210 Viterra outlets will be painted green next spring to match Agrium’s Crop Production Services stores.

Helash said Viterra’s former customers will now have access to Agrium’s Loveland brand of crop protection products while Agrium’s customers will be able to get their hands on Viterra seed.

“We will have access to, I would say, the best private proprietary seed lineup in the industry,” he said.

At the time the deal was first announced, there was anxiety about the potential lack of competition in the fertilizer business.

Independent retailers said they were uneasy that a major supplier of their fertilizer product was becoming so aggressive on the retail side of the business.

GROW Community of Independents was contacted for this story but did not return calls in time for Western Producer’s deadlines.

Helash said the Competition Bureau has conducted a thorough review and took steps to ensure robust competition remains in the industry.

“Two-thirds of the market will still be supplied by our competitors, which is lots of competition,” he said.

Agrium expects Viterra’s retail assets will contribute $75 to $90 million to its annual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), excluding synergies and integration costs. The company anticipates synergies amounting to between $15 and $20 million by the end of 2015.

The deal with Viterra includes 13 retail locations in Australia, which were acquired in June.

VALUE-ADDED BARLEY | BEER

SASK. HEALTH | LONG-TERM CARE

Beer solves guys’ problems

Elder care report cites major issues

Successful restaurant saves farm | Brothers grow own malt barley and hops for beer making

BY RON LYSENG

BY KAREN BRIERE

WINNIPEG BUREAU

REGINA BUREAU

Losing the farm can drive people to alcohol to hide the shame and kill the pain.

And so it was for the four Warwaruk brothers of Minnedosa, Man. They turned to beer — selling it.

“It all came to a head in 1997. The local credit union called Dad’s equipment loan. Then (Manitoba Agricultural Services Corp.) pulled the pin on his land,” said Chris Warwaruk.

“It was a collaborative effort. The credit union and MASC did a quick one-two punch to kill the farm.

Within the span of a year and a half, Dad lost pretty much everything.”

Chris said his father started expanding the farm in 1990, buying land, expanding the feedlot and making room for his four sons if they wanted to become farmers.

However, the reality of low commodity prices in the late 1990s proved disastrous for producers who borrowed money to expand their farms.

Older brother Lawrence said his father never gave up the fight to keep the farm when the notices started arriving.

“He was a very passive negotiator,” he said.

“Instead of getting mad, he’d go in and talk to the creditors and show them his plans for pulling the whole deal back together. The sad part is that he had everything just about paid for when he started expanding in the late ’80s, but then in the ’90s everything went bad for us.”

Their father managed to salvage some land from the wreck, but they had lost all their implements and couldn’t farm it.

The only way the brothers could think of to help him remain current on land payments was to go looking for good wages in Winnipeg.

But the year was 2000 and finding a good job was difficult. Working in someone else’s restaurant for minimum wage plus tips was not on the brothers’ menu.

So, with their entrepreneurial spirit, the four brothers stuck started their own restaurant.

By chance, they found a fully equipped vacant restaurant in a quiet residential neighborhood that the landlord was desperate to sell.

Also by chance, that strip of Osborne Street South would shortly become Winnipeg’s next chic hot spot destination.

The Luxalune Gastropub was successful. Not only could they send money back home to help their father with land payments, but they eventually bought another building

down the street and established a second restaurant. The entire business was eventually consolidated into the new building.

At that point, with more than 130 beers on the menu, they realized that it would be more profitable selling beer they brewed themselves.

They created a micro-brewery, Farmery Beer, using malt barley and hops they grew themselves on their own farm.

“Here we are, on the Canadian Prairies, where we grow the best malt barley in the world, but then we ship it all over the world so other people can make beer and sell it back to Canadians,” Lawrence said.

“Generations of us grew up thinking that the farmer’s role in life was to grow as many bushels of wheat and raise as many pounds of beef as

we possibly can. But that whole plan ignores profit.

“We decided to build our own profit. Farmery Beer is definitely a value added project. That’s what drives us every day.”

The next step was to buy a quarter section of land on Highway 16 near Neepawa, Man., where they grow malt barley. It is then shipped to a small plant in Ontario that brews their Farmery beer.

“Not only do we grow our own malt barley, we’ve started growing our own hops. We harvested our first hop crop this year,” Lawrence said.

“People think hops is an exotic, but the live hops we’ve been buying from the U.S. originated at the Morden Research Farm right here in Manitoba. Hops from those basic Morden strains are used all around

the world.

“Our next big step will be to build our brewery. We’re going to put it right along the highway and develop it into somewhat of a tourist destination.”

Lawrence and Chris want to pattern the operation after the wineries of British Columbia.

“Education is a big part of what we want to do. We want the brewery to be an interesting place to visit,” Lawrence said.

“We want to show people barley and hops in the field. Let them rub the hops between their palms so they can smell them. We want to give people an idea of what agriculture is all about.”

Farmery is the only estate craft micro-brewery in Canada that grows its own inputs, he said.

Saskatchewan health minister Dustin Duncan said some of the conditions reported by long-term care home residents are “heartbreaking” and “dismaying.”

He announced that $10 million would be spent this fall to address urgent issues at facilities, as identified by health region chief executive officers.

Duncan told reporters he was angry about what he had heard. In the Saskatoon Health Region, staff couldn’t get some residents to toilets fast enough so they soiled themselves.

Others were woken up and dressed at 5:30 a.m. but not served breakfast for two hours, then readied for bed at 5:30 p.m. Some residents receive tub baths only once per week.

“Some of the issues cited, such as a lack of privacy for residents, room size and food quality, for example, speak to an overall quality of life standard that we undoubtedly need to address,” Duncan said. “However, it is details within the reports that reflect specific incidents that can only be characterized as unhygienic, unsafe and unacceptable that leave me feeling disappointed and dissatisfied.”

Complaints, concerns and bouquets for dedicated staff are contained in a 311 page report Duncan released Oct. 1.

Earlier this year, he had directed CEOs to learn what was and was not working well. The opposition NDP had raised concerns in the Legislative Assembly.

The CEOs found that residents and their families are generally happy with activities and recreation programs, volunteer involvement, dedicated staff and the involvement of resident and family councils.

Areas identified as needing improvement included the quality, variety and timing of meals, staffing levels, aging infrastructure, placing young residents with older, frail residents, and care issues, such as complexity of care, behaviour management and delays in providing care.

Duncan said spending money to address urgent issues is just the first step.

NDP leader Cam Broten said chronic understaffing is the most significant problem requiring action.

“Building a new wheelchair ramp or fixing up a bathroom are good things,” he said. “But nothing presented by the government today assures Saskatchewan families that a staff person will be there for their grandmas when they need help to the bathroom.”

About 8,700 people live in 156 longterm care facilities or 17 long-term care units at hospitals and health centres across the province.

Duncan has asked for reports in 60, 90 and 120 days after health regions receive money through the Urgent Issues Action Fund.

LOOKING BACK | FINNISH SETTLEMENT

Finnish theatre group brings settlement story home B.C. town’s history | Founding of Sointula performed by Finnish actors on West Coast

BY TAMARA LEIGH FREELANCE WRITER

SOINTULA, B. C. — An unlikely series of events brought a theatre troupe from Finland halfway around the world to perform in the isolated British Columbia community of Sointula.

When Masala Youth Theatre in Finland first performed a historical musical about a utopian community in the Canadian wild, they never imagined that it still existed. Their surprise was matched only by that of the Sointulans when they found their story had been scored and scripted for the stage.

“It was quite a shock to realize that Sointula still exists. Then it was another shock to get a contact there, and finally the invitation,” said Mika Kaartinen, the play’s producer.

Sointula is a remote fishing village and home to about 1,000 people off the north coast of Vancouver Island.

Its name means place of harmony in Finnish.

The play tells the story of Matti Kurikka, a journalist and socialist,

Matti Riksman, left, chose a remote location in Canada to try to establish a utopian society. | who was invited to Canada in 1900 by a group of Finnish immigrants who had become disillusioned working in the coal mines of Vancouver Island.

They wanted someone to lead the creation of a utopian settlement where property was owned communally, everyone shared and contributed and everyone was equal.

The group, who called themselves Kelevan Kansa, approached the provincial government for a land grant from the crown. They were granted land on Malcolm Island in the fall of 1901, and the first settlers began to arrive in early 1902.

“Malcolm Island was chosen

because it was suitably remote, away from the evils of capitalism and the church, yet on shipping lanes.

“Unlike much of the land on the coast, it appeared to have agricultural potential,” said Sue Ness, chair of Sointula’s volunteer museum committee.

“The aim of the community was to become as self-reliant as possible, supporting themselves with farming, logging and fishing. There were plans to build a mill and foundry.

However, first land had to be cleared and accommodation built,” said Ness, whose grandfather was one of the settlers.

“I can only imagine that they must

Many groups have performed in the Finnish Organization Hall where the Masala Youth Theatre group staged its play in September. have found the task of clearing land incredibly daunting.”

The experiment was short-lived.

After a fire killed 11 people in 1903, and with his leadership plagued by poor decision-making, Kurikka left the island in 1904.

Despite hardships and financial challenges, many of the settlers stayed and focused their famous Finnish spirit, or sisu, on making it work.

Those that stayed left a substantial legacy, including British Columbia’s oldest running co-operative, the Sointula Co-operative Store Association.

Today many of the residents of Sointula still trace their heritage back to the original Finnish settlers and the language can still be heard around town.

“We are all very aware of the heritage of our community. Even newcomers are intrigued by the sisu

exhibited by the early Finnish settlers,” said Ness.

“The idea that the story of the founding of Sointula is still of interest to modern Finns makes us feel quite proud of our little town,” she said.

“Many plays have been performed over the years in our Finnish Organization Hall, which was constructed ver y early in the building of Sointula.”

The play was staged in conjunction with Culture Shock: Utopian Dreams, Hard Realities, a conference that looked at utopian experiments past and present in North America.

It first ran in Masala, Finland, in June 2012, and added another 10 shows in September that year to help raise funds for the trip to Canada.

It took a year to raise the $50,000 needed to bring the 25 members of the production to Sointula for the single performance this fall.

Ancient moai stand at the base of a quarry on Easter Island, Chile.

POLYNESIA | MOAI

Mysteries abound on Easter Island TALES FROM THE ROAD

ARLENE & ROBIN KARPAN

I

f you like to get away from it all, Easter Island is as away as it gets.

It is the most remote permanently inhabited place on Earth, 3,600 kilometres west of South America and more than 2,000 kilometres from the nearest inhabited island.

Yet this tiny spec in the middle of the Pacific can be reached by a fivehour flight from Santiago, Chile.

The most easterly outpost of Polynesia, the island of 4,000 is known locally as Rapa Nui. The Easter Island name came from a Dutch explorer who happened by on Easter Day in 1722.

A striking first impression is the wildness of the shoreline, with towering sea cliffs and chaotic jumbles of boulders resembling fresh lava flow, much of it as black as coal. Unlike most Polynesian islands, Easter Island has no coral reefs, so the sea pounds it relentlessly.

This isolated island had amazing achievements, the most famous being the numerous moai dotting the island. These gigantic stone statues with long angular heads represent high ranking ancestors.

Most were carved and transported between 1000 and 1600 AD, without the use of machines, draft animals or metal tools.

We’re expecting to see several moai, but we’re overwhelmed by the scale of it all. We pass one site after another, a few with standing moai, but mostly toppled statues lying prostrate, abandoned after ancient battles.

Add to these the remains of altars, ceremonial caves and some 4,000 rock carvings and paintings, and we’re faced with a staggering display of antiquity.

A highlight is climbing the volcano of Rano Raraku, the birthplace of the moai. Slopes of the ancient quarry are covered in standing, toppled and unfinished statues.

Walking up slopes reaching 100

metres above the sea, we’re astonished to see moai everywhere we look, right up to the crest of the volcano, then down the other side toward the volcanic lake.

Some statues are in the early stages of carving, while others are so complete that only final touches would free them from their stony birthplace.

Close to half of the island’s 900 or so moai are here, including the largest ever built, still lying unfinished. If lifted, it would reach the height of a five-story building.

Most spectacular of all is nearby Tongariki, a 200-metre-long platform holding 15 statues, their backs to the sea. The setting is stunning, with a small bay of pounding surf, framed by huge vertical cliffs.

Mysteriously, maoi building suddenly stopped, the carvers dropping their tools on the spot. Later, Easter Islanders adopted the curious Bird Man cult.

At Orongo ceremonial village, we walk along a razor edge piece of land between a 200-metre wall dropping to a crater lake and a 300-metre vertical precipice rising from the sea.

From here, race competitors descended the cliff, swam two kilometres through shark-infested waters to a tiny islet, found the first egg laid by a sooty tern that season, then swam back trying not to break the fragile cargo. The first to succeed presented the egg to his master, who became Bird Man, the island’s leader for the next year.

Everywhere we’re faced with puzzles. How did they move the colossal statues, why did they stop and what caused this ancient civilization to collapse?

ON THE FARM | VALUE-ADDED DAIRY

Retired couple starts career in dairy Cheese, yogurt makers | Former art conservator says making dairy products involves science, art and patience

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

SUNDRE, Alta. — When Bob Griebel and Sandy Easterbrook bought their quarter section in the Alberta foothills, they thought they would have time for hiking and enjoying nature.

As small mixed farmers, they spend much of their time hiking around the barnyard.

Originally from Saskatoon, Griebel is a retired neurosurgeon and Easterbrook was an art conservator. These days, they run a sheep dairy and make artisan cheese and yogurt, and sell other products off the farm.

“We had such a distrust of industrial food, we decided we had better raise our own,” said Easterbrook, as she worked on her latest batch of soft white cheese made from milk from their East Friesian sheep and Jersey cows.

They started looking for a farm with good water in the 1990s. They settled on one that originated in 1910 in the Bergen community near Sundre and named it Kettle Crossing Farm.

Griebel’s family farms in Saskatchewan but he still had a lot to learn.

“It is a slow learning process,” said Griebel, who took a welding course at Olds College so he could do construction projects and learned livestock care by working with their cattle, sheep and poultry.

“The thing I most enjoy is the obstetrics part of it and delivering the lambs,” he said.

They see a growing interest among people who want to learn more about where their food comes from and raising it themselves, even if farmland prices are beyond what most can afford.

“I think young people are interested in reconnecting with nature and

I think it is something innate in us as human beings to form that bond and there is a real satisfaction in it,” said Griebel.

For Easterbrook, the work was also intriguing.

“You sure need a huge range of skills to be a farmer. I have really come to appreciate the farmers.”

She used science to conserve paintings and sculpture and describes making cheese and yogurt as another form of art.

“In some ways, they are not that different. They are a combination of science and art and patience,” Easterbrook said.

The cheese business has evolved to include teaching. Easterbrook noted how many urbanites want to learn basic cooking skills like canning, pickling and cheese making.

She learned her craft during the winter of 2006 from a sheep cheese maker in Australia.

Back in Alberta, she had to learn food processing regulations.

“I would really like to see an artisan cheese industry in the province,” she said. “Having gone through the hoops, that is the kind of thing I can teach.”

The finished product is marketed as Sweet Meadow Farmstead Cheese.

The sheep are hand milked twice a day, yielding up to 1.5 litres of milk.

Sheep’s milk is different from cow’s milk in that it remains homogenized and has a higher fat, protein, lactose and calcium content.

one kilogram of cheese.

The sheep and cows are kept on grass and allowed to dry up over winter so the cheese and yogurt making is also a summertime activity.

The East Friesian ewes deliver twins and triplets. They keep the best females for milking and rams go to the meat market.

Some have also been sold for purebred breeding stock.

“There are a lot of small farmers who want to milk a few and there are not many sources for East Friesian sheep,” she said.

When they took over the farm, they needed a new house and improved outbuildings. Working with a builder, they designed a round house from a 42 foot diameter grain bin. It is insulated with straw bales, and the hole for the auger at the top was turned into a skylight. The cement floors are heated with hot air from a water boiler linked to solar panels.

The main part of the house is circular where kitchen cabinets and counters curve and a hallway was added to display their art collection.

Outbuildings, including a chicken coop and milking parlour, were made from straw bales.

THANKSGIVING RECIPES | ON THE BARBECUE

Celebrating the bountiful harvest TEAM RESOURCES

SARAH GALVIN, BSHEc

H

ar vest festivals are held around the world. Whether it is Holi in India or Olivigando in Magione, Italy, or Thanksgiving in Canada, people gather to celebrate.

I was invited to a celebration with friends where their daughter, Sarah Coutts, my namesake and a passionate foodie, planned the feast.

Rather than opt for the traditional, she ordered a half lamb from the local butcher and barbecued it low and slow as a centrepiece of the day.

Side dishes need not to be complicated. These recipes can be prepared in advance so no one spends her feast day in the kitchen.

Whole lamb is roasted in a number of ways. In Argentina, it is splayed with sticks and suspended over hot coals and seasoned only with salt and smoke. Pit baking is another option. Coutts used a smoker. The smoker was large enough that the hot coals could be pushed aside and the lamb cooked by indirect heat with the lid down.

LOW, SLOW BARBECUE LAMB Using cured wood, build a fire in the smoker and let it burn down, making a thick bed of hot coals. Push coals to one side and continue to add wood as required to keep heat for about four hours. Rub lamb on all sides with seasonings.

Place lamb on the grill with no hot coals under it. Close the lid. Cook for about four hours or until done and a nice bark or crispy exterior has formed on the meat. Serve with mint pesto on the side.

A half lamb is approximately 10 kilograms (22 lb) and will feed about 30 people. Because the thickness of the carcass varies, the doneness level

also varies and everyone at the feast will find what he or she likes. With the low and slow cooking, the meat is tender regardless of cut.

Seasoning rubs for lamb can be as simple as kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. A Greek style rub is made with equal parts dried oregano, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and freshly ground black pepper. Lemon zest, sea salt and fresh or dried rosemary are a popular combination.

Another option is to infuse olive oil with the flavours of lemon zest and herbs like rosemary or oregano and garlic and use as a rub.

Pumpkin cheesecake with triple ginger crust can be made in jars for easy transport to school or the field. | SARAH

CHRONIC PAIN | TREATMENT

Study shows antibiotics help chronic pain; larger study needed HEALTH CLINIC

CLARE ROWSON, MD

Q:

I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. Do you have any idea about what causes fibromyalgia? Are there any new treatments available?

I do not want to be in this much pain in my muscles and joints for the rest of my life. I am 52 and female.

A:

Doctors and researchers are still trying to find out what causes the painful condition known as fibromyalgia.

There is no real consensus but the word syndrome means that it is a collection of symptoms with one or many root causes. In some people, there may be a hereditary link, but it is also possible that several members of the same family could be exposed to the same pathogens or environmental conditions.

Most physicians think it is a result of a several physical and emotional stressors. Depression, anxiety and sleep disturbances are common with this condition.

Because anti-depressants seem to

help the pain and the sleep problems, there is speculation that a lowered level of the neurotransmitter substance, serotonin, could be partly to blame.

Women are more likely to be victims of fibromyalgia have about a seventh of the amount of serotonin compared to men. Deficiency in serotonin could also reduce the efficacy of endorphins, which are the bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s natural painkillers.

Exercise may help produce endorphins, which is why gentle exercise such as walking is recommended for fibromyalgia patients.

A relatively new theory is that undiagnosed chronic bacterial, viral or fungal infections may be the under-

lying conditions that cause inflammation of the muscles, joints and nerves.

People with fibromyalgia often say that they feel much better after taking a course of antibiotics for another reason.

Danish research has also recently discovered that as many as half of all cases of chronic back pain may be the result of bacterial infections.

The problem occurs when a disc becomes herniated. Bacteria can enter and cause an infection leading to swelling of the vertebrae and pressure on the spinal cord and nerve roots. This can be extremely painful.

Researchers conducted a study in which 162 chronic back pain suffer-

ers were given a combination of two common antibiotics for a period of three months.

About 80 percent of them were completely cured or had a significant reduction in their pain levels.

We need to be cautious about the overuse of antibiotics, because this could further increase the rise of drug resistant bacteria such as MRSA or C. difficile.

The Danish studies need to be validated and replicated, using a larger number of participants before we can be certain that treatment with antibiotics is justified.

RAISING BOYS | CHALLENGES

DOES YOUR YIELD MEASURE UP?

Difficult son SPEAKING OF LIFE

JACKLIN ANDREWS, BA, MSW

Q:

Raising our little girl was such a treat and a joy for my husband and me that when we got pregnant with our second child, we had no reason to doubt that the comfort zone we had carved out parenting would continue. We were wrong. We had a little boy a couple of years ago and even though he is cute as a button and I love him dearly, I have to admit that he has been much more challenging.

Where does he get that energy? At age two, he is into everything. How could we as parents have been so good for our oldest child while being so frustrated and lost with our second one?

Often the second oldest child is the one least like either of his parents. Your son may well be the rebel in the family for a good part of his life. Whatever your daughter was or is, he will be the opposite.

While some male babies are cuddly, studies tell us that male babies would just as soon look at what is going on around them as they would nestle into their parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; arms.

Children are born with predispositions and variances in their neurological wirings, sending them in search of their own characters.

The good parent tries to understand each child, encouraging him to follow his natural predispositions and helping each child find a place where he or she can shine.

For your boy, that might mean spending the next few years romping on the living room floor rather than quietly watching television.

Encouraging your son does not mean giving in to him. You and your husband will have to be diligent about your house rules, letting him know what is and is not acceptable.

Once you have done that, you could find yourselves getting a kick out of the excitement an energetic child brings to the household.

AT PEACE WITH GEESE

READERS’ LETTERS | CLASSIFIED ADS

Friendships forged through WP

BY JOHN HAMON GRAVELBOURG, SASK.

T

he five day storm of February 1979 would break snowfall records for years to come. On that particular day however, I was quite happy to be at home on the farm watching the three TV channels we had and reading recent issues of The Western Producer. Then the phone rang. The caller was answering our ad in The Producer. The ad we displayed was for a circa 1940 AllisChalmers model WC tractor.

The caller wanted to know if the Allis was a distillate, kerosene or a gasoline model. I had overlooked the small one gallon tank that served to start the tractor before it was switched over to kerosene, or distillate. I would eventually have to shovel my way through a six foot drift just to open the shed door and find out that it was indeed a kerosene tractor.

My work yielded fruitful rewards.

The buyer, a gentleman from British Columbia, informed me that he would buy it unseen, for the asking price, and that he would pay me an extra $100 for storage until July of that year when he could get away from the sawmill where he was working. I didn’t need storage fees, however he insisted. After the storm cleared, the cheque arrived in the mail, the amount was exactly what we had agreed upon, plus $100 for storage.

In July of that year, he and his wife arrived in our farm yard near Palmer, Sask. Their rig consisted of a one ton Ford truck, a flat deck trailer and a camper mounted on the truck.

Farmers can adapt to threats climate change poses: study New varieties, practices | Breeders focusing on drought resistance

Prairie temperatures may change over time, but an Alberta Agriculture official says that can create new opportunities.

Researchers at Kansas State University have learned through simulations that even a 1 C temperature increase could cut wheat yields by

almost 11 bushels per acre.

Over the last 30 years, data from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change shows that temperatures in central and northwestern Canada have warmed by up to 0.5 C. In the Northern hemisphere, summertime temperatures appear to be the warmest they have been since at least 1400.

“We may just need to change the varieties and maybe the crop types we grow, as well as the agronomic practices around them,” said Tom Goddard, an Alberta Agriculture senior policy adviser who specializes in agriculture and the environment.

“If you look at hotter, drier places, agriculture is still thriving — just south, in the States, or as far away as Australia. You just need to adjust your cropping systems accordingly.”

Full details of the Kansas study — The Impact of Climate, Disease, and Wheat Breeding on Wheat Variety Yields in Kansas, 1985-2011 — are available online.

Warmer annual surface temperatures and longer growing seasons bring both risks and opportunities to grow new crops and diversify management.

They also increase the risk of erosion and pest pressure and the chance of extreme weather.

Warmer weather brings a longer growing season and earlier seeding dates.

“One may only need to move the same wheat to earlier in the year, and after harvest have a new opportunity to reseed as they do in hotter, drier areas than ours or put in a winter crop,” said Goddard.

“There’s a lot of winter wheat in warmer climates, like Kansas and eastern Washington, so it might be easier for us, as things change, to switch to winter wheat.

“But our colder winters do kill more pathogens and pests.”

Meanwhile, plant breeders are hard at work looking for droughtresistant crops, such as corn and wheat.

“I have faith in the breeders that they’ll come up with crops that have better water-use efficiency or that are more drought tolerant,” said Goddard. “And there may also, depending on the markets, be a move to other crops.

“Farmers we’ve talked to aren’t worried about gradual climate change. They can deal with that. The concern is more about extreme weather systems.

“In Alberta, just from the weather records, we’ve seen what I call the northern boundary limit of corn, in the past 100 years, move north about 200 kilometres (since the 40s or 50s).”

E x t re m e w e a t h e r, i n c l u d i n g droughts, floods and heat waves, cause issues with water for farmers and increase the risk of soil erosion and crop damage, affecting crop insurance.

Goddard also noted a longer frostfree period and more aphids. In Alberta, wheat is moving further north.

Goddard suggested ways for agriculture to decrease its environmental footprint and adapt to a changing climate by using more diverse crop rotations, which allow for more options for disease, insect and weed controls.

As well, a sustainable, environmental farm plan could conserve soil moisture and protect soil.

CORN ACRES | GROWTH

Demand boosts Ontario seed corn industry Expansion a possibility | Ontario seed corn approaches 32,000 acres

BY JEFFREY CARTER FREELANCE WRITER

BLENHEIM, Ont. — The growing corn acreage in Western Canada is having an impact in Eastern Canada, helping to drive the expansion of Ontario’s seed corn industry.

Gerry Sullivan and Chris Nanni, respectively chair and general manager of the Seed Corn Growers of Ontario (SCGO), said it doesn’t matter whether corn produced in the province is actually planted in western fields. What’s important is the overall increase in demand.

“Corn acres are way up all over.

Here in Ontario, we want to prove that we can grow seed corn for them (international companies) now that the demand is up,” Sullivan said, speaking at his farm near this southwestern Ontario community.

Manitoba’s contribution to the expansion is significant. According to Morgan Cott, agronomist with the Manitoba Corn Growers Association, there are 340,000 acres of grain corn being produced in the province this year — largely in the Red River Valley — along with 85,000 acres of silage corn.

That’s nearly double the acreage from three years ago.

Cott said circumstances could change, driving down the acreage in Manitoba. However, there’s also the potential for further expansion.

A half million acres in the province is within the realm of possibility, she said.

Ontario remains Canada’s biggest producer with roughly a million acres planted annually. Yields of 200 bushels per acre are often reported.

In the heart of Manitoba’s corn growing region, a yield of 150 bushels is viewed as exceptional, Cott said.

Ontario seed corn production has grown to almost 32,000 acres. That’s a smaller number than in the 1980s, but yields are much higher.

“Our targets were a lot smaller then.

We were only growing 30 to 40 bushel seed corn. That was 25 years ago.

Now we’re growing 70 to 80 bushel corn,” Sullivan said.

With seed corn production, the male and female inbred lines are grown in the same field to produce hybrid seed.

As part of the labour-intensive process, tassels from the females are removed and only seed from the female line is harvested. Yields are far lower as compared to corn grown from hybrid seed.

There’s speculation within the industry that Ontario’s seed corn acreage could further increase to 40,000 or 45,000 acres, or even more without compromising isolation protocols, Nanni said.

There are three international seed companies and a handful of regional players with production in the province. About 95 per cent of the acreage is in the Municipality of ChathamKent.

There’s room for expansion in neighbouring Essex County and Elgin County and in Norfolk County, where Horizon Seeds Canada, a small family business, operates.

Ontario growers enjoy natural advantages of climate and soils. The growing season for areas where most

of Ontario’s seed corn is grown ranges from 3,100 to 3,500 heat units.

Nanni and Sullivan said the SCGO’s efforts to keep decision-makers with U.S.-based companies aware of Ontario’s potential, and informed about the nature of the business in Canada, have helped.

In the United States, seed corn contracts are negotiated on a grower-bygrower basis. In Ontario, the SCGO negotiates contracts on behalf of more than 300 growers. Some produce only a few acres, while others a few hundred.

“When we first started working with these guys, some of them thought we (the SCGO) were a seed company.

They’ve got growers down there that probably grow 30,000 acres of seed corn on their own,” Nanni said.

“Over the past five years we’ve been above average of what the companies have expected — three to 15 percent higher.”

While 2013 weather conditions have been less than ideal — there was an extremely wet start to the season — Nanni and Sullivan said most growers have been able to meet contracts.

While seed corn is shorter than regular field corn, this Ontario field was also impacted by excessive rain in June and July. | JEFFREY CARTER PHOTO

SASKATCHEWAN INTERNET SERVICE | RURAL DELAYS

SaskTel wants delay on rural wireless internet March 2015 deadline | A new service is available for rural users unable to access satellite service SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Saskatchewan’s provincially owned telecommunications provider has requested another deadline extension for rural users of its wireless broadband internet (WBBI) service to move to a new service.

Some 8,000 SaskTel customers in rural Saskatchewan were first given a deadline in 2012 to move to a new ser vice after Industr y Canada announced changes that will see service towers in the province discontinued.

That deadline was later moved to March 31, 2014. The company has now requested Industry Canada further extend it to March 31, 2015.

Most have been encouraged to switch to Xplornet, a satellite service promoted by SaskTel. The move has come with added costs for some customers — data use on that service is capped at 10 gigabytes per month — and complaints about connection quality and speed.

The previous SaskTel service had provided unlimited data use.

For 1,200 customers that can’t access Xplornet, SaskTel is preparing to roll out a new service called high speed fusion internet in early 2014. The company expects to announce plans for deployment in November.

These plans follow TDD-LTE wireless broadband trials announced in 2012 that ended in August.

The service will first be made available to WBBI customers accessing services from towers in 12 locations: Climax, Hodgeville, Milestone, Avonlea, Blewett, Caron, Hirsch,

Mankota, Maryfield, Orkney, Pangman and Central Butte.

Leanne Persicke, a spokesperson with SaskTel, said the new service may eventually be extended to other customers in Saskatchewan. But with the deadline request unapproved, the company is continuing to encourage users to switch to Xplornet where available.

“Once we get these 12 towers figured out, we anticipate this would be something that we could further expand to the remaining WBBI towers,” said Persicke.

SaskTel said the high speed fusion service will cost $79.99 per month and offer download speeds of up to five megabits per second. Data will be capped at 50 gigabytes per month. | FILE PHOTO

TOKYO (Reuters) — A Japanese fast-food chain has announced plans to grow rice and vegetables on a farm 100 kilometres from the crippled Fukushima power plant, site of the world’s worst nuclear disaster since Chernobyl in 1986.

Yoshinoya Holdings, which sells “gyudon,” or stewed beef over rice, has formed a joint venture with local farmers to grow onions, cabbage and rice for use in outlets across the country.

About 160,000 people nearest the plant were ordered to move out and the government established a 20 km compulsory evacuation zone after an earthquake and tsunami in March 2011 caused reactor meltdowns and contaminated water, vegetables and air.

A voluntary evacuation zone was extended to 30 km and separate areas were evacuated further afield depending on the wind direction.

The leaks prompted many consumers to shun products from the area, which was once well known for its fruit, mushrooms and vegetables.

The crops will be grown in Shirakawa, to the southwest of the plant, the company said. Yoshinoya said it would ensure that the vegetables were safe.

“We will employ local people in the factory. We think this will lead to support for reconstruction,” Yoshinoya said in a statement.

Japan applies strict food monitoring and says that any products allowed on the market are safe.

Despite these assurances, public fears have led to a drop in price for Fukushima produce and huge losses for farmers.

The operator of the plant, Tokyo Electric Power Co., is struggling to contain contaminated water at the site 240 km north of Tokyo. There have been multiple leaks and glitches over the last two and a half years.

FRUIT | APPLES

Ontario fruit farm values community connection 700 acres, 80 employees | Family farm keeps abreast of new varieties, technology and marketing methods

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

WATERLOO, Ont. — Peter Katona reaches up into a tree, pulls off an apple and takes a big bite.

“Now, that’s a McIntosh,” he said as he enjoyed the crisp fruit.

There’s a passion for growing a good apple at Martin’s Family Fruit Farm, complemented by a drive to keep the farm sustainable for future generations.

“We see a lot of optimism in apples.

It’s a good business to be in and definitely a growing business,” said Katona, marketing manager.

Located five minutes from Waterloo’s city limits, the farm grows about 20 varieties of older types, like McIntosh, and the newly popular Ambrosia and Honey Crisp.

The farm was established in 1820, when Peter Martin left Pennsylvania to start a mixed farm on this site.

Leighton Martin planted the first 100 trees in 1971.

Today, three brothers head the 700acre operation spread across two farms. They produce about a million bushels of apples each year from their own farm and about 30 smaller farmers.

Maintaining the family connection is important, but there is a wider view for company president Kevin Martin.

“It’s the heritage and culture we grew up in. It gets passed on down through the generations,” he said.

“It’s not just what is doing right for the family, it’s what is doing right for t he busin e s s a n d co m mu n i t y , because a lot of people are relying on it,” he said.

His brother, Ken, is operations manager. Another brother, Steve, manages retail sales.

In total, 80 employees work in the office, fields and packing house.

Apples go from the field to the 70,000 sq. foot facility equipped with state-of-the-art grading and scanning equipment.

As they float down water-filled lanes, apples are picked over by hand for size and flaws. They also pass by computerized scanners that further sort, grade and check for external and internal imperfections.

If they don’t leave the farm in one of each day’s four transport loads, they go to a controlled atmosphere facility, so apples can be offered year round.

They ship apples to Loblaws, Costco and Walmart in Ontario. They’re packaged in four pound bags — with the three brothers pictured on the side — as well as boxes and large bins for bulk sales.

“Every retail chain has their own unique value proposition so whether it is differentiations in size or varieties or packaging types,” said Kevin Martin.

“Whatever their requirements, we try to meet them,” he said.

They also have exported apples to India, Mexico, the United Kingdom and the Caribbean.

The farm started selling apples at the local farmers’ market, but things took off in the early 1980s when they got into the retail trade, which demanded more production.

The farm plans to keep expanding.

Between 60 to 80 acres are planted each year to either replace old

A IS FOR APPLE • It takes four apples to make a glass of pure apple juice.

• Three medium apples equal about 500 grams (one pound).

• One medium apple yields about 175 millilitres (six ounces) of sliced apples.

About one million bushels of apples will be handled in this 70,000 sq. foot facility at Waterloo, Ont. orchards or add new acres. Ambrosia, Honey Crisp, Gala and Red Delicious apples are the most popular.

In recent years, they have switched to high density planting where new varieties are attached to posts and wires to support the high producing trees.

A new venture is a U-Pick next to the farm store.

Apples take time to reach full production, so it’s risky business to predict what might be popular five or 10 years from now. The Martin team considers consumer trends and unique qualities in new types of apples and assesses whether they can grow well in the region.

“We need to be more responsive and keep up with new varieties and the trends are going to change. You have to understand that is part of the business,” said Martin.

The main part of the business remains fresh fruit, but they try to use every apple.

Apples not suitable for the fresh market might get sold to a juicer or as ingredients for other products.

After two years of development, they launched an apple chip, which they sell to a grocery chain. So far, the dehydrated product, with no added flavours or sugar, is selling well.

Media savvy Staying ahead of the curve suits Kevin Martin, who encourages the operation to use social media to promote apples. He’s as comfortable in a business suit taking calls on his iPhone as he is in jeans walking through the orchards.

“You have to look at it as a business.

It is too high risk. It is too many people involved, too much money involved to look at it any other way,” he said.

The family runs on a five-year strategic plan. They’ve had challenges in the past and they need a sense of stability to guide them so they can remain profitable and keep the family firm running for the next generation of Martins.

“We are always looking for new opportunities that fit in with our mis-

sion and our vision growing for healthy communities,” he said.

“We are not doing things for the sake of doing them, but we are doing them to build a more solid, diversified enterprise that is going to be there for our community and stakeholders for the foreseeable future.”

For all their planning and ambition, their greatest challenge is the weather. The orchards are irrigated and well tended, but a hailstorm can wipe them out in five minutes.

“That is the kind of thing that can knock you in the gut and set you back,” he said.

Frost is a greater threat and they have purchased wind machines for frost protection.

“You can’t nullify the risk, but you can do things to mitigate it,” he said.

Last year, an early spring thaw, followed by a severe frost, nearly wiped out the southern Ontario apple crop.

The Martins’ harvest was about 15 percent of normal. They imported apples to fill the shortfall. Even in a good year, Ontario producers supply

the shores of Lake Ontario, Lake Erie and Lake Huron.

about about 40 percent of the province’s demand.

Another threat is the farm’s proximity to the city. However, the land is classified as protected countryside for agriculture. The community is determined to protect the township as farmland and developers are discouraged from moving into the area.

Besides, the neighbours and the townsfolk like having these kinds of farms nearby and have a growing interest in buying local food.

“People like to buy local if it is available,” said Katona, whose last job was managing a non-profit, which promoted buying fresh, local food.

“It is a growing phenomenon,” he said.

“People have an affinity with locally grown stuff. They really want to make a connection and meet their farmer.”

To further promote the farm and encourage local sales, the farm holds a harvest celebration in mid October when thousands of people visit to taste the fruit and home-made goods.

CANADA BEEF FORUM | BRANDING

Beef brand must be used judiciously: Sunterra Promotion and marketing | Canada Beef Inc. warned not to water down value of logo by branding all products

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Most people intuitively recognize logos and slogans of popular products, but imprinting the Canadian beef brand into consumers’ psyche may take some work.

Canada Beef Inc. is charged with marketing and promoting beef at home and abroad but must find ways to gain widespread brand recognition. Promoting the bright red maple leaf brand as a symbol of quality and safety was a major theme at Canada Beef’s annual forum held in Calgary Sept. 19-20.

Brand management is ongoing for a company like John Deere with its green and yellow farm equipment and reputation of quality for more than 170 years.

Deere manufactures agricultural, construction and forestry equipment, and operators expect it to be reliable because their livelihoods depend upon it, said Lani Lorenz Fry, a member of the company’s brand management group.

“People have emotional connections to brands,” she said.

A brand is a promise of quality and should be a measurable asset to the company because a manufacturer can charge more for a branded prod-

We figured we were ready to pay a premium for Canadian beef, but we had to convince consumers the quality was worth paying more for.

uct. For example, Coca Cola is considered to be worth more than a generic drink .

In 2011, John Deere was selected one of the top 100 best global brands.

Canada Beef is responsible for the development of an overarching brand that could co-operate with industry partners, said John Baker, vice-president responsible for global marketing.

The current strategy showcases a safe product raised in a clean environment in a sustainable way using internationally recognized genetics.

Attaching that brand to a product tailored to meet different customers with varying culinary practices is a challenge, agreed panel members discussing the concept of the Canadian beef advantage.

When the owners of the Quebec sports bar Le Cage aux Sports decided to add beef to its menu, it selected

western Canadian product because of an existing perception of quality.

The chain of 52 outlets did not use the Canada Beef logo because it wanted something more specific that emphasized it was a high quality product from the West and was worth more money, said chief executive officer Michel Lonctot.

“We wanted the brand to be very descriptive of the promise,” he said.

“We figured we were ready to pay a premium for Canadian beef, but we had to convince consumers the quality was worth paying more for.”

Jorge Alberto Baeza Fares, chief executive officer of the Mexican food and agribusiness corporation Grupo Bafar, said his company offers Canadian beef in its retail outlets because of a consumer perception of quality.

“If we get the public to taste a good product, they would come back and

buy,” he said.

Customers wanted more once they tried it, he added, but Canada needs to tailor its supplies to suit the Mexican palette. Consumers want a leaner product and different cuts to fit their style of cuisine.

“A lot of times Mexico as a country needs something else from beef from what Canada does,” he said.

There is potential to sell more to Mexico, he added. His company went from buying three loads per month to 60 to 70 loads per month.

“You have to increase the availability of the product because sometimes it is hard to come by,” he said.

A corporation cannot develop marketing plans without consistent supplies and will have to substitute from other sources.

Quebec and Mexican customers seem happy with the product, but the brand needs to be exploited further by attaching it to as many Canadian products as possible. This could include products that already carry a company brand, such as Western Beef or Sterling Silver.

“This is a brand those other brands should be able to utilize to help them market the product,” said Kevin Boon, manager of the British Columbia Cattlemen’s Association. He is a former Alberta rancher and past

chair of the Beef Information Centre, which was melded into Canada Beef.

He sees a brand as a unifying force for the disjointed beef industry.

“If we look at one of the challenges we have always had is we are made up of a bunch of independent thinking individuals who are pretty opinionated and like to have their own way,” he said. “We have to get by some of this as an industry. We can use that name brand to unite us.”

Brand programs should be used judiciously because they are a promise of quality, said Ray Price, whose family owns the high end grocery chain Sunterra Market as well as Sunterra Meats at Acme, Alta.

The Canadian beef promise should be a baseline of quality and everything above that should be differentiated. Attaching the brand to everything could devalue it.

“The problem with the beef industry over the last 20 years is inconsistent quality at the retail counter, in my view. If you can narrow down that inconsistency and deliver the best steak every time, you can live off that.

You can’t do that from every steak in Canada,” he said. “You can find different markets for different products but you can’t have the same product at the counter every time unless you control it from one end to other.”

GM CONTAMINATION | INVESTIGATION SOUGHT

Food safety group demands probe into GM alfalfa Seed purchased in 2010 | The USDA says there is no evidence GM seed was sold before regulatory approval in 2011 (Reuters) — A food-safety advocacy group has demanded that the United States government investigate how a Washington state alfalfa crop became tainted with a genetically modified trait that was illegal when the seed was purchased.

The Center for Food Safety said last month it was basing its legal petition on evidence that the seed used by farmer Joseph Peila to plant the crop was purchased in the year before the biotech variety was granted final regulatory approval by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in 2011.

In August, an exporter to Asia rejected Peila’s hay crop because it tested positive for the genetically engineered trait, developed by Monsanto Co., found in Roundup Ready alfalfa. Many foreign buyers will not accept crops that contain the modification.

“Not only was the presence of GE alfalfa in ... Peila’s alfalfa seed unlawful, the contamination exposes (him) and other farmers to huge potential losses,” said George Kimbrell, a lawyer with the centre.

“USDA regulations make it clear that any level of contamination from unapproved GE plant material is unlawful.”

The discovery of the contamination has highlighted the difficulties of keeping conventional and organic seed supplies free of biotech traits, say critics of U.S. regulatory policies on genetically modified crops. It has also heightened concerns that the USDA is not doing enough to stop such contamination.

The USDA said Sept. 17 it would not take any action in Peila’s case because the Roundup Ready alfalfa is now an approved crop.

But Peila — one of the first U.S. farmers to make a public complaint about alfalfa contamination — said he had purchased the seeds before the USDA granted final approval in 2011. To back up his contention, he has provided documents, including a 2010 sales receipt, bag labels and independent and state testing results.

“This seed was planted in 2010. It should have never been contaminated, period,” the 40-year-old Peila said. “My whole management practice and marketing (are) thrown out the window. This scares me to death.”

The Roundup Ready alfalfa seed was initially approved by regulators in 2005, but a lawsuit by the Center for Food Safety led to a federal court injunction keeping it off the market from 2007 to 2011, when the USDA granted final regulatory approval.

USDA spokesperson Ed Curlett said the department has no intention of launching an investigation.

He said because seed production with the Roundup Ready trait had occurred before the injunction, it has been known that conventional alfalfa seed in some lots produced after the injunction had low levels of the trait.

The incident comes at a time when the U.S. government is trying to establish protocols for what it calls “co-existence” of biotech crops with conventional and organic crops. The aim, it says, is to protect the purity of supplies.

But it revives claims from critics that co-existence is impossible, and allegations that agricultural regulators fail to protect farmers who want to ensure the purity of their conventional or organic crops.

The USDA and the companies that produced the Roundup Ready alfalfa seeds said traces of the genetically engineered trait in conventional crops was not out of bounds.

They said they were not aware of any evidence that the tainted seed was sold before final regulatory approval.

“The low-level presence of GE traits

in that seed is within the amount allowed under federal law and industry guidelines,” said Rebecca Lentz, a spokesperson for Forage Genetics Inc., which developed Roundup Ready alfalfa in partnership with Monsanto.

Agriculture secretary Tom Vilsack announced in September that the department was seeking public comment on how to achieve the co-existence goal.

“USDA supports all forms of agriculture and wants each sector to be as successful as possible providing products to markets in the United States and abroad,” the USDA said as part of Vilsack’s announcement.

Roundup Ready alfalfa contains a gene that makes the plants able to tolerate treatments of Monsanto’s Roundup herbicide to kill weeds.

Many supporters of organic and conventional agriculture have warned for years that genetically altered crops are mingling with and

eroding the supply of non-genetically altered seed.

They pointed to alfalfa as especially difficult to keep separate because of the perennial nature of the crop.

Peila said he is disappointed the government is not doing more to protect markets for growers of nonGM crops. He is seeking a domestic buyer for his crop and fears he will receive a lower price for his alfalfa and likely not regain any export business.

“They (the USDA) are not protecting us,” he said. “We fear a loss of all conventional seed in the near future.”

EQUIPMENT RESTORATION | JOHN DEERE

Restoration project stirs childhood memories 1950s combine back in field | Restoration project took less than 12 months and lots of elbow grease

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Saskatchewan farmer John Enns has always had a soft spot in his heart for the John Deere 25.

It was the first combine he remembers operating as a teenage boy nearly 60 years ago. It was also the combine that replaced the threshing machine on his father’s farm back in the mid-1950s.

So when Enns located an old 25, rusted but still intact, on a farm at Grandview, Man., it seemed like the perfect winter project.

“It was the first combine I ever harvested with,” said Enns, from Osler, Sask.

“My dad bought a combine just like it back in 1955 or 1956 and I drove it when I was just a kid. I found one last fall in Manitoba, so we picked it up in the third week of October last year and brought it home.,” he said.

“Then on Nov. 10, I brought it into the shop and started stripping it down.”

For Enns, who rebuilds vintage

farm machinery as a hobby, the John Deere 25 posed an interesting challenge.

For starters, the block on its fourcylinder engine had been frozen and was badly cracked.

“AC” is an official mark used under license from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada.

ONLY AVAILABLE AT SELECTED RETAILERS.

In addition, the unloading auger was seriously damaged, the elevators were rusted out and the belts and many other parts had been chewed by rodents.

Enns told his sons that the complete restoration would take two years.

But less than 12 months later, the machine was entirely refurbished, complete with John Deere 25 decals, new rubber and new canvasses.

Last month, it was put to the test at a threshing demonstration in Hague, Sask.

“She worked like a charm, “ said Enns, who harvested about an acre and a half with the machine this fall.

“After a few adjustments the sample looked as good as any new machine could do nowadays. It never missed a beat.”

Enns pulled the combine with a vintage John Deere 60 tractor that he restored a year earlier.

The John Deere 25 was one of the first combines manufactured by John Deere.

It was produced for a few years beginning in 1953 and was meant to replace the smaller but more common John Deere 12A model, which hit the market in 1947.

The self-propelled 25 was a lefthand model, meaning the operator would look over his left shoulder to see the pick-up or cutterbar.

It had a 25-bushel hopper, a sevenfoot table and was capable of harvesting hundreds of bushels of wheat per day.

Enns estimated that the machine, with a single operator, could do as much work as a 12-man threshing crew.

“When my dad bought the combine, we were still using a threshing machine up until then,” Enns said.

“But after we bought the combine, the threshing machine was passé.”

Enns said the two-cylinder 12A, the 25’s predecessor, was a more popular machine, so parts for it are relatively easy to come by.

Parts for the four-cylinder 25, however, are harder to find.

For a while, Enns was unsure if he would be able to locate another fourcylinder block to replace the one on his machine. He found several twocylinder blocks from 12As, but fourcylinder engines for the 25 were few and far between.

Eventually, with the help of the Western Producer’s classified section, he got a call from a farmer who had a four-cylinder engine less than 50 kilometres away on a farm north of Aberdeen, Sask.

“I pulled into his yard and he had a battery on it and everything,” Enns said. “He hit the starter and away it went.”

The combine’s front end was another challenge.

Enns wasn’t thrilled with the thought of using a pickup and wanted to replace it with a knife and reel for straight cutting.

Eventually, he made contact with a farmer near Carrot River, Sask., who had an old 12A, complete with a knife and reel.

Enns picked the machine up in July and remodeled the 12A’s six-foot reel to fit the 25’s seven-foot table.

The machine was field ready a few weeks later.

All told, Enns estimated he spent around 750 hours restoring the combine.

“The machine had probably been sitting out in the bush for the better part of 35 or 40 years so it was in pretty rough shape,” he said.

“It had a few dents and bumps and bruises but eventually I got it back into shape.

“I didn’t put in killer days because at my age you work when you feel like it, but I probably spent an average of six to eight hours a day on it and made a lot of trips into the city (for parts).”

“Other than that, it just took a little bit of elbow grease. I enjoyed every minute of it.”

Enns said his next project will likely be a old horse-drawn Co-op milk wagon that has been in storage for several years.

New tool helps farmers identify insects

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The Canadian Grain Commission has developed a new web-based tool to help farmers identify pests in stored grain.

It’s available at www.grainscanada. gc.ca and allows producers to use insect keys to determine the species of an insect found in stored grain.

To identify an insect, producers choose the more accurate of two options that describe an insect’s physical characteristics.

After each choice, another two options are presented.

This process continues until the species is correctly identified.

“Our insect keys are an effective, easy-to-use tool for insect identification,” said Brent Elliott with CGC’s Infestation Control and Sanitation Office.

“Once you know the insect you’re dealing with, you can make the appropriate decisions for management.”

More than 50 species of insects are recognized in Canada as pests of stored grain.

Insect infestations can be controlled by physical methods or chemical treatments.

Physical methods include drying grain or exposing it to cold air.

Maintaining grain storage temperatures at below -5 C for 12 weeks is an effective way to control most insects at various stages of the life cycle.

More information on controlling insects, including approved chemical treatments, can be viewed at the Canadian Grain Commission’s website.

GENETIC TESTING | HERD IMPROVEMENT

Producers able to improve herd faster with genomic testing Tools improve decision making | Genetic information reveals best traits STORIES BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Many commercial dairy producers rely on semen supply companies to take care of the genetic improvements in their herds.

Sue DeNise of the animal health company Zoetis said genomic testing heifers could help producers introduce improvements at an even faster pace than relying mostly on new bulls.

“We are trying to educate producers on how much value they are leaving behind by not taking advantage of all the technology that is available,” she told the Agricultural Biotechnology International Conference held in Calgary Sept. 15-18.

Zoetis offers genomic tests for beef and dairy cattle as part of the business plan it has developed since becoming a separate company from Pfizer Animal Health last year.

Sixty-five percent of Zoetis’s business is derived from livestock health and welfare products.

Commercial genetic tests for improved animal selection is a growing part of the business.

The company is working with purebred Angus associations in the United States and Australia to build a genetic database to help producers more accurately predict a young bull’s ability to pass on certain characteristics to progeny. The tests can also scan for genetic diseases.

However, big strides have also occurred on the dairy side, where adoption of genomic testing is more widespread and is showing a greater return.

The company has created a program with the Canadian Dairy Network and Holstein Canada to help producers make better decisions based on traits valued in this country.

“It is a really powerful tool if producers are really interested in trying to make genetic progress,” DeNise said.

Most dairy producers are interested in more milk production, reduced feed costs and healthy cows rather than studying genomic results that come with a lot of numbers and scores that are hard to understand.

However, DeNise said genomic information can pay.

“If you are an individual dairy pro-

ducer who has to make decisions about dairy heifers that have just been born, you are really lacking all the tools you need to make the best decisions,” she said.

Heifers raised under similar conditions are not always equal. Knowing which has the most potential to yield better than average results can help a producer decide which animals should be culled, used as embryo recipients or enter an embryo transfer program.

From there, a producer can use sexed semen from proven bulls so that a high performing dairy heifer can replace itself.

On average, heifers should have greater genetic merit than cows. Not all heifers are better than the cows already in the herd.

In the American dairy system, a cow has to produce 31,000 pounds of milk in a year to cover costs of the first lactation, including feed costs, pregnancy and milk production.

Once replacements have been selected for economically valuable traits, the next step for genomics will focus on improving health and wellness of the stock.

Bioengineered vaccines are safer and could be more effective for cattle, says the vice-president of research at the University of Alberta. | FILE PHOTO

VACCINES | BIOENGINEERING

Altering DNA makes safer vaccine: expert Alter ing the DNA of diseasecausing viruses can lead to the creation of safer, better vaccines.

Scientists can cut out the offending gene from a DNA sequence to cripple a virus so it cannot replicate or cause disease, said Lorne Babiuk, vicepresident of research at the University of Alberta.

The result is a bioengineered vaccine made from this altered virus.

“These vaccines are safer and possibly more effective than conventional vaccines. They can offer broader spectrum immunity and they can’t revert back to virulence,” he said at the Agricultural Biotechnology International Conference held in Calgary Sept. 15-18.

“I am a firm believer that genomics will produce healthier animals, which will result in healthier people and improved economics, and more importantly, will secure a more stable environment to feed the world.”

Babiuk, an internationally recognized scientist in vaccine development, was part of a research team that created the first genetically modified vaccine for protection against a form of bovine respiratory disease. For many years he headed the Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization in Saskatoon.

Babiuk predicted that most future vaccines will be engineered, and the public will probably more readily accept that form of genetic alteration, provided they are better educated on what the science is doing and why it is beneficial.

“We have been fantastic at technical innovations, and we have also been partially successful at business innovations … but I think we have been abysmal in social innovation.”

LORNE BABIUK RESEARCHER

He said the public also needs to know how targeted this work has become.

In the early days of vaccine development, scientists did not know which gene was responsible for disease. Today, they can identify specific genes for removal or replacement along the gene sequence.

For example, lumpy skin disease is a major problem in sheep and goats in Africa. Removing the IL10 gene from the lumpy skin virus can create a better vaccine to provide protection against this condition.

In addition, scientists can insert o th er genes to th e lu m py skin genome to protect against Rift Valley fever, a mosquito borne disease that affects most domestic animals in Africa.

Countries that want to eradicate diseases with these new style vaccines can show that an animal was vaccinated and is not a carrier. That way, trade is not blocked for health reasons.

Genomic analysis could also be used to select animals that are more robust with better immune systems or the ability to respond better to treatment.

Scientists know that animals and people respond differently to treatments with some being high or low responders. If they can figure out why this happens, more individualized medicine could be offered so patients receive the correct treatment.

CALGARY — Agricultural biotechnology companies should be winning over consumers’ hearts rather than influencing their minds, says a food industry adviser.

Charlie Arnot, chief executive officer of the Center for Food Integrity in Kansas City, Missouri, says seed technology and food companies have been misguided in their efforts

to sway the general public to their side of the GM crop debate.

“We have operated under the assumption that the public will be logical and they will be rational and if we simply give them the right information they’ll come to our side of the argument,” he told delegates attending the Agricultural Biotechnology International Conference 2013.

“If they haven’t come to our side of the argument the logical conclusion is we’ve not yet given them the right

With 8% more yield than other inoculants, it makes a welcome addition to any operation.

Chances are if you grow peas or lentils you’re already using inoculants.

What you may not realize is they’re not all created equal. That’s why you should insist on Nodulator® XL. With the most active strain of rhizobia, it improves nitrogen fixation for increased root biomass and top growth. It all adds up to higher yield potential. So when you choose Nodulator XL, we suggest you think ahead to harvest time—and think big. To find out more, visit agsolutions.ca or contact AgSolutions® Customer Care at 1-877-371-BASF (2273).

information, so we’ll go get some more science.”

That education-first approach was promoted at earlier sessions at the conference.

David Morgan, North America regional director for Syngenta Seeds Inc., said GM labelling is being debated in dozens of U.S. states. It is becoming a major battleground between the pro- and anti-GM forces, with billions of dollars being spent on publicity campaigns.

“We have to rebuild consumer conference that this is a safe technology,” he said. “They must be convinced that it’s safe. The labelling debate is an intrinsic part of that in my mind.”

Dave Hansen, president of Canterra Seeds, said “education is paramount” in convincing consumers to embrace the technology.

“The challenge that we have is that it is always coming from a self-serving sort of perspective,” he said.

Arnot said building consumer confidence is far more important than proving competency when it comes to establishing trust.

“They don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care,” he said. “It is more important for you to be a peer than it is for you to be peer-reviewed.”

Arnot provided an example of how to mismanage a situation.

A grocery store owner in Rhode Island recently posted a shelf tag informing customers that the store was no longer stocking Kellogg’s Kashi brand of cold cereal because it contained GM soy and was not living up to its “natural” billing. A consumer captured the shelf tag on a smart phone and posted it online.

“It went viral and created a firestorm of online backlash for Kashi,” said Arnot.

The response from Kashi’s general manager was that the company had done nothing wrong because there are no regulations for the term “natural.” While technically correct, this was not a technical issue. Consumers felt betrayed and they tend to act on what they feel versus what they know.

Biotech and food companies are often engaged in the wrong debate.

Consumers want to know if society should be using biotechnology.

“Our historical response has been, ‘Well science says we can,’” said Arnot.

That isn’t answering the question consumers are posing.

“We can’t substitute scientific verification for ethical justification,” he said. “That’s where the debate exists and we’re not effective in that debate today.”

Arnot encouraged biotechnology companies to claim the moral high ground by assuring the public that they are doing the right thing for the right reasons and making money in the process.

“Simply educating the public is not going to be sufficient,” he said.

They need to help consumers understand how the technology benefits society and the environment, but more importantly they need to assure consumers that their commitment to doing what’s right has never been stronger.

Keeping elk out of livestock feed | Fences, highways act as boundaries to keep animals at bay

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Some elk roam and some elk take up residence.

Conservation biologist Dale Paton of Anatum Ecological has studied elk movements for six years and has learned the ways and routes of southwestern Alberta’s seven elk herds.

His research will contribute to general knowledge about elk behaviour and may help lessen human-elk conflict and vehicle collisions with migrating animals.

Speaking in the first Wildlife in the Wind presentation sponsored by the Alberta Wildlife Society Oct. 1, Paton said his study area encompassed Chain Lakes to the north, Pincher Creek to the east, Fernie, B.C., to the west and Glacier National Park to the south.

Radio collars were affixed to 180 cow elk and young bull elk to track their movements.

Paton was able to identify the summer and winter ranges of migrating elk, their typical stopping points along those routes, and the more limited range of resident herds.

Four of the seven herds migrate, each along a particular route. Their paths include the Whaleback region and Castle-Carbondale to Montana’s Flathead Valley and the B.C.-Alberta Crown of the Continent.

Herds near Waterton and Beauvais Lake Provincial Park, south and west of Pincher Creek, are resident, Paton said.

That is old news to ranchers in the region, who regularly see herds of elk in their fields.

Paton worked with many of them in compiling his research and found ranchers co-operative despite occasional problems with elk eating pasture and hay stacks.

“They understand somewhat the sharing of the land with the elk.

Sometimes when there is, in their perception, too many elk, it becomes difficult,” said Paton in a later inter-

DALE PATON BIOLOGIST

view. “The management process they’ve taken seems to be working.

Of course you can’t satisfy everyone.

But the ranchers were very interested in what we were doing and the elk and where they are going.”

Roger Pisony, who ranches north of Lundbreck, Alta., said he often sees a large herd in his pastures and those of nearby neighbours.

“We live in their country,” he said.

“I have no problems with elk. They knock some fences and break some wire and whatnot, and when it’s cold they’ll come down and they’ll want to get to a hay stack. But you can mitigate that by fencing them.”

Fencing proved only a partial solution for Liz Hurst. She and her husband, Bob, also ranch in the area and have lost valued pasture fodder to elk herds in years past.

“You can imagine how disheartening it is when you look out the window and the place is covered in elk, a huge, huge herd of elk, and there’s no getting r id of them.

There’s no making them move off,” said Hurst.

“And there goes your pasture that you’ve been so careful to save.”

Elk used to frequent their stored hay until a fencing project solved the problem.

Both Hurst and Pisony said Highway 22 acts as a barrier to elk, which are afraid to cross the busy road.

“It’s actually created a boundary so it keeps the elk off of most of my farmland,” Pisony said.

That meshes with Paton’s research.

He has found higher elk traffic on

SEVEN WAYS TO REDUCE DAMAGE FROM DEER AND ELK • Move bales from field to feed yard or protected storage area.

• Use straw bales as protective barrier for feed stores.

• Fencing can be more effective if bales are stacked two tiers high.

• Store grain only in protective storage bins.

• Monitor stored feed and promptly chase ungulates from feed stores.

• Use fencing or place posts before freeze up to prepare permanent stack-yard sites.

• Allow access for hunting.

roads that have gates in Alberta’s back country.

“I think there’s a limit to what they can adjust to,” said Paton. He said herds will remain near roads that have fewer than 18 vehicles per day.

Beyond that, they are displaced.

Weather plays a major role in elk foraging on farmland and in stacks, noted Pisony.

Cold weather brings herds down from higher ground to forage in more open areas. And once they find an accessible haystack, it’s hard to keep them out even years later. Cow elk

seem to retain memories of easy meals in the past.

Alberta Fish and Wildlife offers a compensation program for elk and deer damage, in cases where the producer monitors stacked hay and when that producer has followed department advice and allowed hunting on the property.

Assistance is also available in some cases to erect fencing or use scare devices and repellents.

Paton estimates there are about 3,500 elk in Alberta’s southwest region.

CANADIAN MEAT COUNCIL | HEALTH

Rapid cooling is paramount to food safety Food-related illnesses | Dropping temperature of prepared food poses challenges for processors

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

TORONTO — As families struggled to make ends meet during the 2008 recession, there was also a spike in food poisoning.

More people were eating leftovers that were not always cooled or reheated properly, said Keith Warriner of the University of Guelph’s department of food science.

The matter of food borne illness was discussed at a symposium hosted by the Canadian Meat Council in Toronto Oct. 3-4.

There are dozens of bacteria, viruses and parasites that can cause disease and secondary infections.

Warriner is studying the bacterium clostridium perfringens, which can make people sick within a day of eating contaminated food.

It will often grow in cooked beans, meat products, thick soups, stir fries and gravy.

Leftovers that aren’t properly cooled and reheated may contain a lot of the bacteria. It is also common when large amounts of food are prepared in advance and not cooled quickly.

There are five different types with the alpha toxin causing most problems in humans. It can cause diarrhea

Food-borne illnesses can be caused by contamination occurring at any point in the chain from on-farm to slaughter to processing to how it is handled at home. | FILE PHOTO and cramps and last 24 to 48 hours.

Its spores are not killed by boiling so

products must be heated to more than 120 C to inactivate them.

Food also needs to be cooled quickly.

“In the good old days what they used to have was an accepted slow decrease in temperature in order to avoid it,” Warriner said.

The new recommendation is for rapid cooling from 55 C to 26 C in two hours and then from that point, drop to four degrees within another two hours.

This can create challenges for food processing because rapid chilling could leave frost traces or change the product quality.

Another way to control it is to add an essential oil like oregano with nitrite at low levels, which seems to work at inhibiting germination without affecting food quality.

The rejection of nitrates and other preservatives in foods has created problems because they acted as a control against pathogens, said Eva Pip of the department of biology, University of Winnipeg.

Describing the many contaminants as “a gang of nasties,” she outlined some of the viruses, bacteria and parasites that can sicken people.

In the case of viruses, only a few cells are needed to cause illness.

They account for up to 80 percent of food borne illness in the U.S. While they are single celled, tiny organisms, they are expensive to isolate and culture in the laboratory and then identify.

Some can remain infectious for days, weeks or years. They can mutate at a rapid rate and recombine to form a highly infectious strain.

They are also more resistant to gamma radiation than bacteria, so sanitizing is difficult.

“The majority of viral meat contamination is caused by infected food handlers. Therefore work hygiene is critical,” she said.

Viral contamination of meat can occur on the farm, processing or at any other stage of handling.

Key problem viruses include norovirus, rotavirus, herpesvirus, retrovi-

rus as well as hepatitis A and E. Bacteria are a large group of organisms and cause illness on their own or through production of toxins.

There are many types with short life spans but they replicate and rapidly evolve new strains. Many bacterial strains found in the environment are resistant to multiple forms of antibiotics.

There are six groups of E. coli that can sicken people. It is a common bacterium and the strain E.coli O157:H7 can be found in ground meat contaminated during the regular slaughtering process.

There are several species of salmonella and more than 2,000 strains that can cause illness.

“They will vary in the severity and our ability to treat them,” Pip said.

Salmonella invades the intestinal lining and can incubate in six to 72 hours.

Most people recover on their own so the actual number of cases may be under reported. However, it could cause Reiter’s syndrome, arthritis and eye irritation after the infection, making it hard to trace.

Shigella is a group of bacteria that can release toxins and, depending on the species, the illness presents itself in different ways. The onset of sickness ranges from 12 hours to seven days.

Some people are asymptomatic with these infections and can spread it without knowing they are carriers.

Yersinia enterocolitis can take three to seven days after exposure. One study found two thirds of raw pork in the United States carries it. It originates in pig intestines, tonsils and lymph nodes.

“Pork is a big culprit but other meats can harbour this, “ she said.

It can withstand refrigeration. In the past it was often misdiagnosed as appendicitis.

Camplylobacter jejuni often occurs during the slaughter process. It is often found in poultry but can occur in other meats.

Staphylococcus aureus displays multiple antibiotic resistance. It is increasing but the true incidence is not well known.

Clostridium difficile and clostridium botulinum are two other serious infections that are not deactivated with cooking.

Botulism is well known and can be lethal. It is rare but is present in improperly processed meats or in improper home preserving. It is anerobic and can grow in vacuum packaged meats.

The consumer shift to nitrate free meats is increasing the risk of botulism.

Protozoa are often diagnosed as stomach flu. They are single celled organisms like cryptosporidium, giardia, toxoplasma, cyclospora and many others.

Toxoplasma is hard to culture in the lab and most often domestic cats are the source. A common link may be when the family cat sits on the counter where food is prepared.

Parasites like nematodes, trichinella, ascaris and tapeworms can be carried in undercooked meat.

FOOD CRISIS FEARS | GIANT RESERVES

Asian gov’ts fret over food security as grain piles up Increased inventory | Governments are hoarding food to prevent a shortage but often lack adequate storage facilities SINGAPORE (Reuters) — Towering grain mountains in Asia, already large enough to feed China for eight months, are set to grow even bigger as governments persist in shoring up their safety buffers against hard times.

Haunted by a 2008 food crisis that sparked unrest and panic buying, states will keep piling grain into reserves despite the strain on their finances and storage problems, buoying prices that have been hit by expectations of bumper harvests.

“The most populated countries, especially in Asia, will be very reluctant to see their inventories go down,” said Abdolreza Abbassian, senior economist at the United Nation’s Food and Agriculture Organization in Rome.

“Lessons learned during the ’90s and 2007-08 have convinced policymakers that the international market is important, but it cannot be relied on 100 percent for food security.”

With hoarding the name of the game, Asia’s top grain-buying states have accumulated a whopping 100 million tonnes of rice and 90 million tonnes of wheat since a combination of high energy prices, bad weather and growing demand for biofuels sent grain prices soaring in 2008.

India halted rice exports at that time, when global prices for the staple grain jumped to an all-time high of $1,050 a tonne, triggering similar restrictions from other suppliers and panic-buying in importers such as the Philippines.

“Higher grain stocks reflect the government’s priority of having a more-than-sufficient buffer to avoid any shortage and to run its welfare food program,” said N. R. Bhanumurthy, a professor at the National Institute of Public Finance and Policy in New Delhi.

“The entire stock will evaporate if one single crop fails.”

India was forced to start exporting grains in 2011 after scenes of wheat and rice rotting in open fields grabbed international headlines. But half-hearted attempts to sell grains have not had much impact on stockpiles.

India’s rice stocks at government warehouses stood at 21 million tonnes on Sept. 1, against an official target of 9.8 million tonnes, thanks to four consecutive years of good monsoon rains. It had 38 million tonnes of wheat against a target of 17.1 million tonnes.

Asian nations with large populations to feed will not reduce their stockpiles unless they see inventories rising in top exporting countries such as the United States, Australia and Russia.

“I don’t think people are comfortable with grain supplies just yet,” said one Melbourne-based analyst. “As of now, stockpiles have merely shifted from producers to buyers.”

World supplies have been tight in the last six years, as the global grain market lurched from one crop crisis to another, including a devastating drought in the United States, Brazil and Argentina in 2012.

In contrast to Asia’s giant reserves, the United States — the world’s main corn exporter — ended the market-

ing year in August with its lowest stocks in 16 years.

Australia, the No. 2 wheat exporter, was left with 3.7 million tonnes of wheat at the end of last month, just half of year-ago closing stocks of more than seven million tonnes.

And the grain storage situation in Asia is only going to worsen with near-perfect weather likely to boost stocks.

India, which already has some 12 million tonnes of rice and wheat stored in the open, covered with just tarpaulin sheets, will see up to 30 mil-

lion tonnes of rice added to its stocks by the end of the year.

India’s rice production is forecast to reach close to last year’s all-time high, while good monsoon rains have left ample moisture for wheat to thrive in the months ahead.

In Thailand, the government is extending its controversial rice intervention scheme for a third year. The scheme supports farmers by paying them above market rates, making supplies uncompetitive and costing the country its title as the world’s biggest rice exporter.

The populist move will add about 10 million tonnes by year-end to existing stocks estimated at 16 million currently, or roughly half of annual global trade. With warehouses bursting at the seams, Thai officials are considering renting air force airport hangars for storage.

Although wheat stocks in China have fallen in the last few years, the country is seen emerging as the world’s No. 1 importer as it rebuilds depleted reserves and meets a shortfall in domestic supplies.

China is expected to buy around 9.5

to 10 million tonnes of wheat in the year to June 2014, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture and traders.

In addition to piling up reserves, the Philippines is striving for self sufficiency in rice supply by the end of 2013.

“Our target is to increase our inventory to ensure food security and stable prices,” said Orlan Calayag, an administrator at the National Food Authority. “We are prepared to spend more to improve and expand our storage facilities.”

AQUATIC WEED CONTROL | GRASS CARP

Slippery weed eaters better than chemicals Grass carp eat weeds that clog filters and irrigation equipment in dugouts and ponds

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Large grass carp can eat about 30 percent of their body weight in water weeds daily. |

At $20 to $25 per fish, grass carp quickly pay for themselves in cleaning weeds from Alberta ponds and dugouts.

Clay Boyes, facility manager at the Lethbridge College-based Aquaculture Centre of Excellence (ACE), said farmers often blanch at the price tag but after 15 years of availability and use, the fish have proven their worth.

S ALL M SERIE

CLAY BOYES AQUACULTURE CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE

“If you take a look at over a 10 to 12 year period, you’ll pay for those in that first year, for the amount of chemicals that you’ll use in that first year. And you’re not going to perpetuate your problem,” said Boyes.

He gave an overview of the program to an Oct. 3 tour organized by the Oldman Watershed Council.

Boyes runs the grass carp hatchery facility that supplies stock to distributors, who sell the fish to farmers for aquatic weed control.

The carp are sterile so they cannot propagate and interfere with native species.

ACE started its operations in 1999 with 60 fish obtained from Colorado.

Those were multiplied to the current base of 300 fish, which Boyes said comprise the only rootstock of grass carp in Canada.

Dense aquatic weeds can be a problem in ponds and dugouts in southern Alberta’s relatively warm climate. They can clog pumps, filters and irrigation equipment and reduce water quality as they die and decompose.

Though there are chemical controls, killing the weeds results in decomposition, oxygen depletion, nutrient release and repeated growth cycles that perpetuate the problem year after year.

“With these guys here, when we put the fish in there, obviously they are feeding on the nutrients. They become the nutrient bank,” said Boyes.

The fish live for 10 to 12 years and can then be fed to cats or dogs, or can simply be destroyed.

“This lends itself very well to our situation in southern Alberta.”

Grass carp are members of the minnow family and are native to China, where they are extensively farmed.

In Alberta, studies have shown they can control a number of common water weeds, among them stonewort, water plantain, sago pondweed, Canada waterweed and some types of algae.

Smaller fish of 25 to 44 centimetres can eat 50 percent of their body weight in a day, depending on water temperature.

Larger fish eat about 30 percent of their body weight daily.

Dugout studies conducted by Alberta Agriculture have concluded grass carp can achieve up to 80 percent weed control.

Highest consumption occurs when the water is 18 C or higher but they will also feed at lower temperatures.

Water containing fish waste from the grass carp operation in Lethbridge is used in the adjacent aquaponics facility at the college.

The nutrient rich water is used by greenhouse plants and is then recirculated into the fish spawning facility.

AQUAPONICS | GREENHOUSES

Fish-greenhouse system proving efficient, effective

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Research from a working symbiotic system between fish and plants at Lethbridge College is rippling outward in southern Alberta’s greenhouse industry.

Aquaponics, the practice of raising fish and using their wastewater as plant fertilizer, is used in at least one commercial greenhouse operation in the Medicine Hat region and another may soon be established.

Aquaponics researcher Charlie Shultz of Lethbridge College said Oct. 3 that he is working with AFS Group Ltd., a company that plans a large-scale aquaponic operation that will grow produce for distribution through Red Hat Co-op, the major distributor and marketer of greenhouse produce in the province.

Shultz has more than 15 years experience with aquaponics and is working at the college’s facility to enhance knowledge for the greenhouse sector.

He provided an overview last week to a tour group organized by the Oldman Watershed Council.

The aquaponics greenhouse uses water from the adjacent grass carp aquaculture facility. The nutrientladen water from the fish operation is circulated among plants in the greenhouse.

“These roots, as the water passes through, are cleaning up any of the ammonia, the nitrite, the nitrates that are in the water, as well as all the other plant elements that came from the fish feed.

“They’re pulling it up and by the time it leaves these troughs, it’s pretty clean, almost zero in most nutrients.”

The system allows the fish and greenhouse operations to recycle approximately 98 percent of their needed water, said Shultz.

Solid waste from the aquaculture operation is removed and either used as fertilizer or disposed through the septic system.

Put to use in a commercial operation, a grower can produce two different crops: fish and the greenhouse product of his choice, be it vegetables, herbs or some other crop.

The Lethbridge facility grows grass carp but Shultz said there are fish species that are more commercially viable, such as Asian sea bass and tilapia.

Most plants can thrive in an aquaponics operation, he added, but viable markets will determine the choice.

“Just about every plant I’ve ever tried loves the fish water,” Shultz said.

Tomatoes, cucumbers, mixed greens, cilantro, basil and okra were in evidence during last week’s tour.

He terms the system as “natural” as opposed to organic, due to consumer confusion over the true meaning of organic. Natural pesticides including soap, bacteria and potassium bicarbonate are used when necessary.

However, the idea of vegetables fertilized by fish excrement has proven a hurdle; one Shultz is working to surmount by preparing guidelines and documentation that will satisfy food inspection and food safety agencies.

“A lot of distributors and food chains are happy to take food produced with synthetic chemicals that have been sterilized. It’s a safe food.

CHARLIE SHULTZ AQUAPONICS RESEARCHER

But now we’re talking about using effluent from fish. They’re concerned about food safety, E. coli and this kind of stuff,” he said.

As a cold-blooded species, fish do not harbour E. coli, and that’s part of the education process involved in getting wider aquaponics acceptance.

As well, the expense of year-round heating and lighting for aquaponics has to be carefully analyzed.

“It all comes down to the economics again. So is it better just to shut down and not fight the winters? But if you can produce in the winter, you can get a niche price, so it’s a lot of trade offs.”

Younger plants grow beside mature mixed greens in the Lethbridge College aquaponics greenhouse. |

Shultz said aquaponics appear to be getting more attention from larger companies because of environmen-

Imagine 20% more capacity using 20% LESS FUEL.

V-Cool™ System

Trident™ Processor

The unique cooling unit “V” design and hydraulic variable speed fan all contribute to a cooler engine while reducing horsepower requirements.

The new segmented rotor design combined with multi-zone feeding provides higher-capacity threshing and separation with reduced horsepower demand.

AGCO POWER™ 9.8L Engine New 7-cylinder engine delivers more power and torque than previous models while using less fuel.

Stratified Air Cleaning System One of the advantages of the longest rotor in the industry is the full-length cleaning. Airflow is designed to improve capacity and sample quality, yet eliminates complex components like auger beds, discharge beaters and a self-leveling shoe mechanism.

Simpler Drives The engine is now in-line with the rotor for more direct power transfer. Other drives are simplified using cross-shaft power flow with minimal belts or chains.

The new Massey Ferguson® 9540 and 9560 combines make it a reality.

Our new combine proves you can have capacity without complexity. Higher capacity. Greater efficiency.

It may be necessary to apply as much as two tonnes per acre of lime on soils that are severely acidic, according to Trevor Thornton of Crop Care Consulting in Manitoba. | TREVOR THORNTON PHOTOS SOIL | INCREASING PH

Apply lime to upgrade soil Accuracy essential | Field trials show adding lime to low pH soil increased grain and potato yields

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

Potatoes are typically grown under irrigation, on sandy soil and with plenty of commercial fertilizer. It’s the perfect setup for severe acidity and a perfect scenario for lime treatment.

The three main factors contributing to severe acidity are irrigation, high fertilizer rates and soil with a low pH to begin with, according to independent agronomist Trevor Thornton of Crop Care Consulting in Manitoba.

Thornton has been working with Manitoba potato growers for 10 years. In that time, he and his staff of four agronomists have fine tuned their expertise in using lime to upgrade severely acidic soils.

“By severely acidic, I mean soils which had a pH of 4.5 when we started working with them 10 years ago.

I’m guessing they were 5.0 to 5.5 pH initially,” says Thornton.

Many fields started with acidic soils because of the way the parent material was laid down. There was no human fault.

However, in Thornton’s opinion, growing crops with a high nitrogen demand made the situation worse.

Thornton said that in dry conditions, a low pH like 4.5 allows hydrogen to build up in the soil, where it acts like a torch on plant roots. Nutrients might be right next to the roots, but the roots can’t access them. The situation is only slightly better in an irrigated field.

Potatoes are a high-value, highinput crop, which is why Thornton carries out an intensive grid sampling program with his clients. On potato land, he uses a one acre or two acre grid system. On all other crops, he uses a five acre grid.

“With so much cash on the line, it’s important that our variable rate prescription maps are accurate. I’ve got fields where the highest pH and lowest pH are right next to each other.

We find things that zone sampling

The wheat on the left was grown on acidic soil with no lime applied. The crop on the right was grown on soil that received a lime application. would never pick up. You need to know those things if you plan to apply lime.

“You must put lime down with a variable rate prescription map. If you put too much lime where it’s not needed, you just create another problem for yourself on the other side of the pH scale.”

Thornton emphasized that if you don’t use enough lime, you’re missing some cash opportunities, not only with the potatoes but with other crops in the rotation.

A typical rotation employs fall rye or spring wheat after potatoes and then a canola crop. Some growers have started putting soybeans, edible beans and corn into the mix, although corn may not be the best option.

LIME TREATMENTS INCREASED GRAIN YIELDS BY

15-20 bushels per acre

“Corn demands a lot of nitrogen fertilizer and that’s not something you want to do if you’re already fighting acidic soils.”

After a decade of liming low pH soils, how do the numbers look?

“Grain yields in our clients’ fields have increased 15 to 20 bushels per acre where we’ve applied lime treatments with a variable rate system.

“Of course, grain is just part of the rotation. Potato is the main crop. The lime treatment has increased the potato yield by as much as 80 hundred weight per acre. Plus, internal quality defects have dropped significantly.”

But none of this good news comes without a price. Although Thornton only applies lime to areas in a field where it will have a significant economic impact, the high end of that scale might be as much as two tonnes of lime per acre.

Thornton says he cannot quote exact prices because of all the variables involved in liming a specific

field. However, he can give ballpark figures.

“If you have some areas in a field that require the maximum rate of two tonnes per acre, you can figure $30 to $40 per tonne, depending on delivery distance and things like that.

“So, yes, that’s $60 to $80 per acre.

But keep in mind that not every field is at the high rate and few fields require full coverage. That’s why I insist on variable rate.

“And then consider that your treated acres might give you 15 or 20 bushels more wheat and 80 hundred weight more potatoes.”

A review of the Internet shows dozens of different types and sources of agricultural lime.

Municipal water treatment plants utilize lime as one of the agents in purifying potable water for towns and cities. This is the source Thornton uses for field lime.

The slime-like lime is trucked to the field in a regular dump box truck and applied through an Ag Chem twin spinner floater truck designed in the U.S. specifically for this material.

“The stuff we get is 50 percent moisture, so it’s not really sludge, but it’s not really granular either. Standard ag grade lime is 60 percent through a 100 mesh screen. It takes about three years to react with the soil.

“The stuff we get is 100 percent through a 100 mesh screen. It’s an incredibly fine grind. That also means it’s soil reactive immediately, so you have to be careful not to apply too much at a time. That’s why we have to use variable rate.

“It’s a challenge to spread through a Valmar or a regular floater. We tried manure spreaders, but it’s too difficult to control the rate. The Ag Chem spin spreader has variable rate, and it’s designed for this material.”

AGRONOMY | NEW COLUMNISTS

New WP agronomy columnists PRODUCTION MATTERS

MICHAEL RAINE

T

his week, on page 90, we start an agronomy column in The We s t e r n P ro d u c e r c a l l e d Agronomy Precisely and it will feature two columnists. In fact, they’re so new, we haven’t even got their photos, but we’ll fix that shortly. They will alternate and from time to time might even speak to the same subjects, each from their own perspective.

I’ve been anticipating this column for some time. I had hoped to launch it ahead of harvest, but the timing didn’t work out.

For many of our readers in Manitoba and Alberta, this is now the post-harvest period. In Saskatchewan, the crop isn’t fully in the bin, but it’s getting close.

So I am hoping this is the right time to start hearing from these new voices in our 90-year-old publication. They join a chorus of well-read views that the Producer has published over the decades and I am sure they too will provide insights into production agriculture from a prairie perspective.

Garth Donald from Decisive Farming in Alberta and Thom Weir of Farmer’s Edge in Manitoba will be our new columnists.

Both have significant experience in the latest agronomic technology and research and hail from companies that operate prairie wide.

The columns will offer their personal, professional opinions about the choices that producers might be making and the challenges of modern agronomy, both technological and biological.

We’re looking forward to this addition and I am confident their insights will prove interesting and profitable.

FALL FERTILIZER | ADVANTAGES

Slow release products calm concerns about fall fertilizing AGRONOMY PRECISELY

GARTH DONALD

New products address leaching and dentrification losses of urea nitrogen Some producers prefer fall fertilizing to reduce the workload in spring. | FILE PHOTO

N

ow that harvest is basically done, growers start to shift their thoughts to fertilizer.

There is a lot to think about whether it is pre-buying and storing until next year or fall applying.

With most growers going to no-till, the practice of fall fertilizing has seen a major reduction, but the questions still get asked.

One of the big reasons farmers fertilize in fall is their increasing spring work loads. Anything that reduces the amount of time spent per acre in the spring results in more acres planted at the right time. This can lead to more bushels in the bin and more acres farmed.

As we strive for greater yields, we apply more and more product. With that comes logistical challenges of getting more acres seeded while put-

Flushing weed control worth bragging about. ( In moderation of course. )

More and more people are talking about Ares™ herbicide for Clearfield® canola. And smart growers are listening. Because only Ares controls the toughest flushing weeds and keeps them from coming back. Which means you save time and money in the process. So go ahead, and tell every canola grower you know. They’ll thank you for it, providing you don’t overdo it.

ting on 300 to 400 pounds of product.

Fall fertilizing spreads out the work load with getting a large amount of the product applied during a less stressful season.

Some growers also fall fertilize because of product availability concerns. Either way, once the product is on, producers have it and are not worried about industry shortages or plant failures messing up their cropping plans or driving up their costs.

Nitrogen products changes are another factor to consider with fall fertilizing.

A lot of people ask about these changes. All of the main changes are in urea nitrogen. There are products that slow the nitrogen release or stabilize the nitrogen so it makes the product less able to leach or denitrify.

Leaching or denitrification have been a main reason why growers have gone away from applying fall fertilizer.

Some of the new products remove the stress of worrying about losing your product investment to these factors.

Agrotain is one product used to address losses and allow control over the release of nitrogen. It is a nitrogen stabilizing product that slows the conversion of urea to ammonia, thus reducing volatilization due to surface applications of urea.

Agrotain Plus has the additional ability of inhibiting the conversion of ammonium to nitrate, which reduces losses of urea to leaching and denitrification. These give seven to 21 days of control.

The next product available to growers is ESN from Agrium.

ESN is a controlled release product that includes a polymer coating applied to the urea. This coating is a permeable polymer that allows soil water entry and thus dissolves the urea granule. Once the urea is in solution it is slowly released through the polymer membrane, providing the crop with timely nitrogen.

One of the features of this product is that if there is not enough moisture to keep the urea in solution, the urea will return to its solid form and will wait in the coating until there is enough moisture to go into solution again.

There is also ArboriteAg from Gavilon. ArboriteAg is a liquid additive for urea based fertilizers, both dry and liquid, and is designed to reduce the rate of nitrogen loss after application. The main component of ArboriteAg is NBPT, which is capable of slowing the conversion of urea to ammonia, which is a common mechanism for nitrogen loss. This product will also provide seven to 21 days of control.

There are many options that help make fall fertilizing successful, but remember these products are tools and have to be used properly to make them work the best that they can.

Follow manufacturers’ and distributors’ advice and plan for the extra investment in these advanced products. These can make a farming operation more efficient and, in some cases, help a grower produce greater yields, both of which contribute to an improved bottom line.

Always read and follow label directions.

EQUIPMENT | TILLAGE

Wet years unearth need for cultivation Rutted fields, expanding sloughs | Pro-Till 40 able to mix heavy trash into ground at high speeds

BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

REGINA — There was a time when “till” became a four letter word in Western Canada. In the rural southern prairies, the word kept company with other seldom-heard words such as rain, plow and cash.

But now the return of rain has dug up new demand for tillage tools.

For three years Paul Degelman’s company has worked toward a tillage tool that can cover a lot of ground in a hurry, as well as handle the heavy trash that western Canadian crops can leave behind.

The Regina company recognized the need for limited amounts of tillage after several wet seasons in a row.

But in the years before the rains returned, many prairie farmers reduced their machinery lineups to include little more than a minimum or zero tillage seeding unit, a sprayer, swather and combines.

Droughts and continuous cropping made digging the ground a rare event.

“We saw the need. Farmers were asking for some new technology, not a traditional cultivator,” he said.

“Not for every acre, not for every field, every year. But when you have sloughs growing outwards or rutted up or compacted headlands, then it gives you the ability to deal with those acres,” he said.

“Problems such as sprayer tracks and heavy residue levels have created problems in need of a solution that fits into a minimum tillage environment,” said Degelman.

His solution is the company’s ProTill 40, released this past summer.

Using two ranks of 20 inch, shallow dished discs, mounted to independent, rubber-spring mounted arms, the machine mixes residue into the ground at speeds above eight miles per hour.

Spaced on five inch centres, the ProTill moves dirt first one direction and then back. The 40 foot wide unit is effective at high field speeds of 12 or more miles per hour, says Degelman.

It’s a heavy tool at 33,000 pounds and needs 475 to 500 horsepower to move it rapidly through the field.

“We put a lot of iron into this thing to keep in the soil in the dry ground of the fall,” said Degelman about the 7/8 inch and 1/2 inch wall tubing used in the frame.

The frame is in three sections and has a fore and aft flotation system that allows vertical movement from the hitch. The unit rolls around on high flotation, 24 inch wide BKT made rubber, 46 inches high.

Discs are supported by sealed double ball bearing hubs. When the discs encounter a rock, four Rosta-made rubber springs that sit between the square double walls of the mount and the frame allow the shank to move up and out the way and return it to its natural position.

A standard heavy duty cage roller packer that feathers the soil and firms it, readies the ground for spring planting.

The packer’s shafts are 1.5 inches in

diameter and helically mounted to ensure the soil is smooth after the discs level it. An Otico semi-pneumatic rubber roller packer is also available.

A notched disc is available for heavy soils. In transport the machine folds forward to 20 feet and is 12 and half feet high.

For more on the Pro-Till 40, visit producer.com for video.

NEWS PORT OF CHURCHILL | OIL

Grain Growers leader Oil export proposal could bring eager to expand markets added traffic to Port of Churchill

BY BARRY WILSON

BY ED WHITE

OTTAWA BUREAU

WINNIPEG BUREAU

Jim Facette arrives as executive director of the influential national lobby group Grain Growers of Canada at an opportune time.

The federal government is involved in multiple trade negotiations from the World Trade Organization to Pacific Rim talks, negotiations with the European Union, Brazil, India and others.

Grain and oilseed products often are key commodities in the talks.

“I think for our farmer members, the growth in the market is a key issue,” Facette said. “All of these trade talks are opportunities for farmers to expand their markets.”

But the former president of the Canadian Propane Association also has quickly learned that for agricultural exporters, the issue isn’t simply agreement for export market share.

“These agreements really need to make sure that when it comes time for our members to help feed the world, the world and our trading partners need to use sound science to judge imports and not junk science or emotion,” he said. “That really is an issue for our sector.”

Grain Growers of Canada represents 14 provincial and regional

If oil joined grain flowing up the rail line to Churchill, the port and the line would have a better chance of surviving, says the head of the Hudson Bay Route Association.

Even if the proposal to ship unprocessed crude through the port raises the hackles of environmentalists, that kind of traffic is really nothing new for the sub-arctic port.

“Refined oil and diesel fuel and gas has travelled up the Churchill line for decades,” said HBRA president Sinclair Harrison, a Moosomin, Sask. farmer.

The proposal to ship oil via rail through Churchill is part of the attempt by Canada’s energy industry to find a way around the pipeline bottleneck that is strangling the flow of oil out of Western Canada.

Much oil has been flowing to the U.S. and eastern Canada in railway tanker cars, but advocates of the Port of Churchill think that would be another good outlet. In fact, the port already has a complex of little-used giant oil tanks.

“It’s underutilized. It’s 50 million litres (capacity),” said Harrison.

The Wilderness Committee, an environmental watchdog organization, has attacked the proposal,

grain, pulse and oilseed groups with a strong emphasis on market development. It aligned itself with the federal Conservative government in the battle to end the Canadian Wheat Board single desk and has supported Ottawa in its emphasis on new trade deals.

However, Facette indicated that GGC is not holding its breath for any major breakthrough when World Trade Organization trade and agriculture ministers meet in Indonesia in December.

Grain Growers has been a strong supporter of multilateral trade agreements that are broader than bilateral market access deals and can deal with trade-distorting domestic subsides as well as tariff and trade barriers.

It has been a lobbying force at WTO meetings for more than a decade.

Facette said his organization still is debating whether to attend the next WTO ministerial meeting.

Churchill port officials face opposition from environmentalists and residents on their plan to export oil from the northern port. | FILE PHOTO arguing it poses an unacceptable risk of damage if the challenging rail line conditions cause a derailment and spill.

It has said the transport of oil down the line is a threat to the viability of Churchill’s eco-tourism industry, which sees thousands of tourists per year travel to the remote town to see polar bears and whales.

The Manitoba government has been largely silent on the issue. Both the economic development agency of Churchill and railway operator Omnitrax are promoting the idea.

Growing together for generations.

Harrison said the Lac Megantic, Que., disaster, in which a town centre was demolished and 47 people were killed by a runaway train carrying oil, won’t make the public keen to see more oil tanker cars moving down the tracks.

But he said finding more goods for Churchill to move is essential to keeping the port alive.

Currently, there isn’t enough cargo going through the port to make its future secure.

“Basically it’s just been grain and merchandise,” said Harrison.

When Stacey Olson was a young girl, she loved to visit her father Roland at the elevator and dreamed of one day working for Richardson Pioneer.

Today, the Olsons are one of many generations of families who have contributed to the success of Richardson Pioneer over the last 100 years.

“From a very young age, I wanted to follow in my father’s footsteps,” says Stacey Olson, administrative coordinator at Richardson Pioneer Carlton Crossing. “Dad’s been working for Richardson Pioneer for 37 years and has always had great pride in his work. Now that I’m here too, I share in that pride.”

CANADIAN MEAT COUNCIL | FOOD POISONING

Food borne illnesses often unreported, preventable Poor personal hygiene, food preparation causes | Many people don’t see a doctor unless they are ‘almost dying,’ says biologist

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

TORONTO — Every year, one out of every eight Canadians gets food poisoning.

However, many cases are not reported because few people get sick enough to go to the doctor.

“If you have a very mild case, you are less likely to seek medical care and less likely to submit samples,” said epidemiologist Kate Thomas with the Public Health Agency of Canada.

Food borne illness in Canada was discussed at a two day Canadian Meat Council symposium held in Toronto Oct. 3-4.

Seven major culprits are responsible for most of the sickness.

They are norovirus, salmonella, campylobacter, toxoplasma, E. coli O157:H7, listeria and clostridium perfringens.

Norovirus accounts for 58 percent of all illnesses.

“Many of the pathogens that we now recognize as being major, a few decades ago we didn’t even consider them to be human pathogens,” said Eva Pip of the University of Winnipeg biology department.

“Now, we sure know differently,” she said.

Still, the public assumes food is safe.

Even though disease prevalence is low, people are still getting sick. Few go to the doctor and if they do, doctors may be reluctant to order too many tests because of the cost. Rural areas and northern regions may not have local physicians to treat patients with food related illness.

“When you get sick, you tough it out as best you can, unless you are almost dying,” Pip said.

Misdiagnosis is also a problem because many doctors have not been taught about the complicated ways

these illnesses present themselves, she said. The patient may have a gastrointestinal upset or a respiratory infection.

Canada probably has about four million cases per year where 1.6 million are related to known bacteria, viruses or parasites. The rest are linked to unspecified agents.

According to Robert Hoekstra of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States, food borne illnesses are in decline in Canada and the U.S. In 2011, the U.S. estimated 48 million cases with 128,000 hospitaliza-

tions and 3,000 deaths.

“Our food is very safe and so is yours, and that is a good thing. If we go back (in history), entire villages were swathed with illness,” he said.

Jeremy Adler of Ecolab, a private company that validates food safety systems, said food borne infections are easy to catch, even though many could be controlled with good sanitation and proper handling.

The centre for disease control has studied contributing factors and blame most cases on poor personal hygiene, improper handling and poor sanitization of equipment.

Neglecting to store and cook foods to the proper temperature is a common problem. Failure to do something as simple as wash hands or cool down foods quickly has caused some serious illness, said Adler.

Poor personal hygiene can spread norovirus. Some regions require ill workers to stay home for up to 72 hours after their symptoms disappear. This can be hard to implement because many are hourly workers and they are reluctant to lose pay, said Adler.

However, a sick restaurant worker who did not wash his hands properly

contaminated lettuce and about 100 people came down with norovirus.

People can get listeriosis if they eat an uncooked wiener or improperly produced deli meats.

Inadequate cooking of beef can lead to sickness from E. coli O157:H7.

Mechanically tenderized beef using needles to pierce meat is five times riskier than intact beef. The needles spread the infection from the surface to the internal areas.

A new food safety law in the U.S. is requiring mechanically tenderized beef be labelled, along with proper cooking instructions.

FOOD PRODUCTION | HEAD VERSUS HEART

Emotions trump science in food choices Feelings win over facts | Some ignore what science says, but choose organic or hormone free because they feel its right STORIES BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

In terms of public relations, the United Kingdom BSE outbreak in the 1990s is a perfect example of how not to respond to a food crisis.

When ordinary Brits were frightened about eating hamburger, the country’s agriculture community responded by sticking lab-coated scientists in front of the microphone, said Crystal Mackay, Farm and Food Care Ontario executive director.

“There would be footage of a mother crying on TV, (saying) I’m concerned about my kids. Then, they would have a researcher talking about prions and the science of BSE to counteract that,” Mackay said, from her office in Guelph, Ont. “Which, I think, is the ultimate example of bad juxtaposition.”

While it isn’t an issue of the same magnitude, Canada’s beef sector is responding in a similar way to consumer concerns over growth promotants.

When A&W Canada announced in September that all of its restaurants are now serving beef free of added hormones or antibiotics, the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association issued a statement noting the science shows that growth promotants are safe.

The Canadian Animal Health Institute has said that six ounces of beef treated with hormones contains 3.8 nanograms of estrogen and six ounces of beef raised with growth promotants contains 2.6 nanograms of estrogen.

In comparison, a glass of milk contains 34 nanograms of estrogen, and a serving of cabbage has 2,700 nanograms, CAHI noted in a fact sheet.

The science may be on the CCA’s side, but when it comes to food, do

Scientific facts about food safety are often irrelevant because consumers are swayed by emotion. | arguments based on science hold sway?

Stephen Strauss, Canadian Science Writers’ Association president, said scientific facts don’t resonate with a segment of the public because buying local beef, for instance, is part of their identity.

Mackay agreed with that assessment, adding that food choices are highly emotional.

“In agriculture, (with) our traditional approach of science based production practices… there’s a pressure point there between this roman-

tic, emotional, ethical discussion about what we feed our children,” she noted.

“We’re trying to have a (scientific) discussion with somebody who’s having an ethical, philosophical discussion and the two don’t mesh.”

Last year the Canadian Agri-Food Policy Institute published a paper on Canada’s beef food system. The document authors noted most consumers base food purchases on price, provided the food is safe.

Nonetheless, the report added there are now societal expectations

FILE PHOTO

about how beef is produced.

“Food purchases are becoming an ethical calculation for discerning consumers. How Canada’s beef sector interprets and responds to these requirements is vitally important.”

Strauss said savvy marketers already recognize that food choices are an “ethical calculation”, rather than a decision predicated by scientific facts.

When consumers pick up products and read labels like organic, natural and so forth at the grocery store, the label isn’t conveying a message con-

nected to science, Strauss said.

“It’s not saying (to consumers) the science says this is going to be better for you…. It says we (food producers) understand your inner valuation system and we are responding this way.”

As an example of how science can be irrelevant to the debate, researchers at Stanford University reviewed 237 journal papers and concluded that organic food is not healthier or more nutritious than conventional food.

The study reinforced what earlier studies had concluded but organic buyers aren’t paying attention.

Canada’s organic market was worth $3.7 billion in 2012, triple the industry’s size in 2006.

Strauss said the agriculture industry relies on science when it comes to production practices, but nowhere in the science does it say that cattlemen have to use growth promotants.

That, he said, is part of a business model of producing more with less and a growing number of consumers are rejecting that concept.

In the ongoing debates about what is healthy and sustainable, the ag industry can’t back totally away from science, Mackay said. But there is a middle ground between “the science is on our side” and “the consumer is always right.”

“We absolutely have to be a science based system. But we have to listen to customers’ concerns or questions and provide them with choice,” she said.

“If there are people that say, I don’t care what the science says I don’t think it’s right. No problem. You pay an extra dollar… and we’ll provide it.”

In terms of communication, Mackay said farmers should talk to consumers about food production, not scientists.

And those discussions should be conversations, not lectures.

CONSUMER SURVEY | ALL ABOUT MEAT

Hormone, antibiotic-free meat tops organic: survey Last spring the Alberta Livestock and Meat Agency issued a Canadian consumer meat retail study.

The 153 page document, produced by People Talking, a market research service in Toronto, covered a range of topics including consumer perceptions of meat and how to differentiate product in the marketplace.

In the conclusions of the lengthy paper, the authors said that beef produced without growth promotants is a more promising market than organic beef in Canada.

“Consumers find the raised without

CLINT DOBSON ALMA

hormones and antibiotics claim to be more credible, and more concrete, than organic…. raised without hormones and antibiotics is directly linked by the consumer… as being healthier and safer for me to eat.”

Clint Dobson, ALMA senior policy

manager, said that finding wasn’t surprising.

“That’s been pretty consistent over time and in multiple different studies. It comes down to that consumers are not familiar with what organic is, even though organic is above and beyond what hormone and antibiotic programs typically are.”

As well, more buyers were willing to pay a premium for beef free of added hormones and antibiotics than any other feature.

At a price premium of 10 percent, 44 percent of survey participants said they would prefer to buy beef free of

growth promotants and antibiotics, while 31 percent said they would buy organic beef at a 10 percent premium.

At a 25 percent price premium, 24 percent of participants said they would still pay the extra cash for hormone and antibiotic free beef.

In contrast, only 12 percent of people in the survey would still prefer organic beef if it was 25 percent higher than a baseline price.

“Raised without hormones and antibiotics is a bigger opportunity than organic,” the report noted. “(Because) the size of the group willing to pay a premium… is larger.”

AND THE SURVEY SAID… Factors determining meat purchases: • Price and product origin are the most important.

• For beef, price was the strongest driver for 53 percent of consumers.

• 32 percent said country of origin was the key factor.

• 15 percent were motivated by added features like certified humane or grass fed.

LUING GENETICS | CHARACTERISTICS

Luing breed’s calm nature complements Limousin herd Scottish breed | Luings are good weight gainers and feed efficient

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

When Dane Guignion decided to modify the genetics in his cow-calf operation near Pine River, Man., he was hoping to find a British breed with thicker hair and a hearty appetite for forage.

About three years ago, after considering the options to amend the mostly Limousin genes in his herd, Guignion bought bulls from a Scottish breed with an Asian sounding name.

The Luing (silent u, rhymes with ring) is a Scottish highlands breed known for its ability to thrive on marginal pasture, as well as its longevity and maternal instincts.

On top of those traits, the Luing genetics also improved the temperament of calves on Guignion’s farm.

“I was getting too much Limousin in my herd…. The Limousin calves had AC/DC playing in their heads.

The Luing calves had John Denver playing in their heads,” he said to illustrate the improvement in disposition.

Guignion bought his Luing bulls from Iain Aitken, a cow-calf producer

in Rimbey, Alta., who runs a herd of 150 primarily Luing cattle.

Aitken immigrated to Canada from Scotland in 2000 with a plan of raising cattle and reviving the Luing breed in the country.

“It was kind of my intention to carry on the Luing breed here because I had Luings in Scotland,” he said.

Luing cattle first arrived in Canada around 1973, brought here by Alberta ranchers.

The breed never caught on beyond a core group of ranchers in B.C. and Alberta. Aitken said numbers likely peaked in the 1970s at several hundred head in Western Canada. By the time he emigrated from Scotland, the Luing breed had probably shrunk to a few dozen animals in Canada.

Aitken was determined to resuscitate the breed in North America because he thought it was perfectly suited for conditions in the West.

Luings have a long outer coat of hair and an inner layer of short hair, which provides protection from severe weather on the Scottish Highlands or a typical January day on the Prairies.

“They’re (also) a very feed-efficient

type of cattle, in terms of making use of lower quality feed, lower quality bush pastures and that type of thing,” Aitken said.

In comparison to Highland, another Scottish breed, Luings gain weight more rapidly.

“The Highland has some important characteristics, like foraging ability, exceptional longevity and meat quality, but they just grow too slow to be practical,” Aitken said.

“I doubt many people would have the ability to get them fat at a viable weight before (three years). The strength of the Luing is that it combines the best of the Highland characteristics with the best of the old Shorthorn genetics in a package that is commercially viable.”

While numbers haven’t skyrocketed since his arrival from Scotland, the Canadian Luing Cattle Associat i o n l i s t s f o u r b re e d e r s o n i t s website. Aitken estimated there are several hundred Luing cattle in Canada.

Nonetheless, ranchers — particularly grass-fed operators — are intrigued by the breed, Aitken noted.

“They’re better adapted to grass. To my knowledge, they’re probably the

Guignion said the Luing offspring have performed well on pastures around Pine River.

“They fit in pretty good in this country, being a forage based animal. It’s pretty washy type grass and cows need a lot of gut capacity to do well.”

Aitken hasn’t set a goal for the size of the Luing herd in Canada, but he has sold bulls into Saskatchewan and Manitoba and believes the breed could gain traction.

“Realistically, we’re not going to compete with Angus numbers anytime soon. But these cattle have the potential every bit as much as the Angus. Largely, it’s a matter of fashion… that factors into cattle breeding. Whether you are the ‘in’ thing.”

LUING CATTLE BASICS: • The breed was developed in Scotland in the 1940s, when breeders crossed the Beef Shorthorn and the Highlander.

• The breed was designed to fit the harsh conditions on the Isle of Luing, off the west coast of Scotland.

• They were imported to Canada in 1973 by the Rothney Farm near Calgary.

• Positive traits include exceptional longevity, high fertility, ability to convert low quality feed and a thick winter coat that sheds in the summer.

• Animals are mostly dark red in colour. Mature cows typically reach 1,300 lbs.

ANIMAL TRACEABILITY | ASSESSMENT

Alta. lab to study efficiency of ear tag, scanner technology CFIA certification | Testing involves subjecting tags to extreme heat, cold and moisture

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

A Calgary technical school has been selected to evaluate livestock ear tag and scanner technology.

A new laboratory at the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology becomes the first certified facility in North America to test new tags.

The first tests will be for transponders in low frequency ear tags. Tags, boluses and microchips used in any livestock can also be tested at the lab.

“As long as tags are proposed and claim to operate under the ISO standard for animal traceability we will

be able to test them all,” said project researcher Bob Davies, who holds a PhD in radio systems science.

Work is expected to start in early 2014 once the laboratory has met quality standards for processing and record keeping through the international committee for animal recording (ICAR).

There are two certified labs in Europe but the temperature specifications do not meet the Canadian Food Inspection Agency requirements. The ICAR-approved tags must undergo a second CFIA certification. This two-step process should be streamlined once the SAIT lab is running.

Testing involves subjecting tags to extreme heat, cold and moisture in an environmental chamber. Retention tests may be carried out later.

Other testing may look at new tag technology.

Most electronic tags on the market are read only, but there are proposals to have others that operate in the same frequency range where information can be written on them.

The lab will not be the final word but tags that fall below basic requirements are not likely to be approved.

Other work at SAIT involves testing of about 600 ultra high frequency tags at a southern Alberta ranch and a feedlot, said project leader

A new lab at the Calgary-based Southern Alberta Institute of Technology will soon be testing electronic ear tags and readers. | SAIT PHOTO Glen Kathler.

In addition, scanners are being tested. Wide alley readers will read cattle tags as animals move from loading chutes and to pens.

Readers at an auction market will be assessed and a livestock truck is also being fitted with scanners.

These are expected to be tested for

durability this winter.

“The UHF system has shown a very high ability to solve some of the problems reading animals in a wide area,” said Kathler.

Large groups or individuals wearing UHF tags can be read up close or at a distance as they move from the farm to the processor.

TRUCK RESTORATION | BACK TO BASICS

Back in service: 1967 Ford lacks bells, whistles, brakes

I

drive a pickup that’s a mere 12 years old. Sure, it’s got scratches, dents, a tricky tailgate and a few other character saving scars, but it

still seems too new to fit my cowboy persona.

I’ve harboured this guilt ever since I traded in Ol’ Gray, the 1986 half ton

with more heart than horsepower.

Waylon Jennings, known for his country singing but also for his sage parental advice, warned mamas not

to let their offspring “pick guitars or drive them old trucks, let ‘em be doctors and lawyers and such.”

So, I suppose my parents felt some career path disappointment when I was a kid and they found me fixing up my grandfather’s 1951 Chevy pickup to drive to school. They might have also breathed a sigh of profound relief knowing that the tuition bill for medical school or a juris doctorate degree was evidently not in my future.

The 1951 Chevy was a good, safe driving choice for a high school kid.

It had a transmission from a ton and a half truck in it, which, paired with a six cylinder engine, gave it a top speed of about 75 kilometres an hour.

It didn’t have seat belts or an air bag, but it was built like a tank. It easily had the steel of 10 compact cars in it. It had red paint and a slight blue oil haze trailing behind it.

Eventually, I moved up from the ’51 to a ’67, and went from Chevy to Ford. And since then I’ve also had a Dodge. I guess you won’t catch me with any trash-talking stickers in the back window of my pickup about the ‘other’ brands. I’ll drive anything.

The 1967 was like all the others that Dad and our neighbours had from that era. It was the standard issue aqua blue green color. I swear it was the only paint they put on pickups in the late 60s.

It was a good pickup but eventually it stayed put and grass started growing up around it. Until this year. I had tried bringing it back to life, but this summer I let a bona fide mechanic take a crack at it. Now the ’67 is running like a top and back in service.

It’s the kids’ vehicle of choice when we go for a ride around the ranch.

Some people would call their generation the “iGeneration,” growing up with iPads, iPhones and all the rest.

technology, but its lack of it.

“Wow, you don’t even have to have the key on to close the window,” they exclaimed when I shut it off and they turned that odd crank protruding from the door.

I showed them how to run the ‘air conditioning’ by undoing the lock tab and pushing out the triangle shaped windows to shoot some air through the cab.

Fresh air is important since a dried-up rubber hose connecting the gas tank to the gas cap behind the seat leaves a pretty strong odour in the cab.

Ventilation is bolstered by some floorboard rot that I’ll need to remedy. There’s a hole in the driver’s floorboard that you could lose a small dog through.

You wouldn’t want to drop your iPhone while you’re driving and watch it hit the gravel road whizzing by underneath.

Fact is you wouldn’t want to talk on your iPhone while you’re driving, period. No power steering, a standard transmission, and brakes weak enough to encourage double clutching to help her slow down, keeps your mind on the job of driving and deters any thought of texting, talking or web surfing.

Now, all I need to do is get the kids to start driving that old truck, or, perhaps pick a guitar, and we can save the cost of tuition for law school or medical school too.

RESPIRATORY DISEASE | NURSING CALVES

Minimize pre-weaning respiratory disease in beef calves ANIMAL HEALTH

JOHN CAMPBELL, DVM, DVSC

W

hen we think of bovine respiratory disease (BRD) in beef cattle we often think of the shipping fever pneumonias that occur in weaned calves shortly after arrival in the feedlot.

Respiratory disease is the most common cause of death of feedlot cattle, and a lot of the research has been focused on the disease at this stage of production.

However, BRD is also the most common cause of death for nursing beef calves more than three weeks old and much less is known about the syndrome in this age class.

Dr. Amelia Woolums from the College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Georgia presented some of her research team’s findings on pre-weaning BRD at the recent American Association of Bovine Practitioner’s Conference in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Woolums began her presentation by describing previous research from the United States Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service Meat Animal Research Center that tracked the annual incidence of BRD in pre-weaned calves in their research herd. Over a 20 year period, the annual incidence varied from a low of three percent of calves affected to a high of 24 percent, with an overall annual average of 11 percent.

On average, the death rate of calves suffering from pre-weaning BRD was 13 percent.

Woolums’ research team surveyed cow-calf producers from three eastern states (Florida, Georgia and West Virginia) and from three Plains states (Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska) in an attempt to learn more about this poorly understood disease.

About one out of every five herds reported having had some calves with respiratory disease before weaning and almost half of these herds with pre-weaning BRD cases reported having at least one calf die from BRD pre-weaning.

The most common age group reported as having BRD were calves between one and four months of age.

The survey included questions on a variety of management practices and the research was able to identify risk factors associated with the occurrence of pre-weaning BRD. Larger herds were more likely to have calves affected with pre-weaning BRD. Diarrhea in the calves and respiratory disease in adult cows was also associated with the occurrence of pre-weaning BRD. Diarrhea in calves may be related to a lack of colostrum intake, which is a predisposing factor to many infectious diseases in calves including pneumonia and diarrhea. Diarrhea has also been shown to be associated with the development of respiratory disease in dairy calves.

Control of diarrhea in beef herds by ensuring adequate colostral intake and through environmental management may also help to control

pre-weaning pneumonia.

When Woolums’ research team examined the incidence of preweaning BRD in these herds they were able to identify several other risk factors including introducing calves from outside sources, providing creep feed to nursing calves, and the use of estrous cycle synchronization programs for cows or replacement heifers.

Introducing calves from outside sources is an obvious biosecurity risk because they might carry a variety of respiratory disease pathogens into the herd.

Bringing young calves into the herd also brings the risk of introducing Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV)

into the herd. BVDV can infect other calves and cause severe immune system suppression, making calves more likely to catch pneumonia or other infectious diseases.

A number of the outbreaks of preweaning BRD that I have investigated have been related to purchased calves that were infected with BVD virus.

Why would feeding creep feed or the use of estrous synchronization programs be a potential risk factor for bovine respiratory disease in preweaned calves?

Both procedures may bring more contact between calves in the creep feeding area or during confinement while management procedures are

carried out for estrous synchronization. Herds that use these management procedures may increase the opportunities for disease transmission between calves or from cows to calves.

It was emphasized that both creep feeding and estrous synchronization programs are useful management tools and that modifications of calfhandling practices or increasing the strength of immunity of calves through appropriate vaccination programs might help to lower the incidence of disease in herds that use these management procedures.

The results of this particular research demonstrate that pre-weaning respiratory disease of beef calves

is not uncommon. Simple biosecurity practices such as not introducing calves from other sources into the herd at this time may help prevent outbreaks.

If you use management procedures that involve concentrating or grouping calves together at multiple times such as creep feeding or estrous synchronization, you should attempt to minimize the confinement of the calves and ensure that immunity is maximized through adequate colostral intake and appropriate vaccinations.

LATE SHIFT

GMO | LEGISLATION

GM labelling law inevitable: journalist U.S. legislation | Over two dozen U.S. states are considering new labelling rules

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Even if Washington state voters reject a genetically modified labelling law in November, some U.S. state or states will soon enact similar legislation, says Ken Roseboro, a journalist who tracks issues related to GM foods.

Connecticut and Maine have already passed legislation requiring labelling of GM foods, but the laws won’t take effect until a sufficient number of states in the U.S. Northeast enact similar legislation.

“It looks like Vermont will pass a bill… and 26 other states (have) introduced bills,” said Roseboro, editor of The Organic & Non-GMO Report.

“Labelling looks like it’s going to be inevitable, even if 522 doesn’t pass.

There’s such a rising consumer demand for it.”

On Nov. 5, Washington residents will vote on Initiative 522, a ballot measure requiring the labelling of GM foods in the state by July 2015.

As noted on the Vote No on 522 website, the law would require a GM label on processed foods, the packages of raw agricultural commodities, seed and seed stock and retail signage for unpackaged products.

Commodities like cheese, meat, milk and eggs are exempt. Food sold in restaurants is also exempt. The law has a GM content threshold of 0.9

percent on processed foods. That threshold drops to zero in 2019.

“It’s a poorly written law. Beef doesn’t make it. Dair y doesn’t make it…. Animals are fed GMO commodities, of course,” said Eric Maier, a farmer and wheat grower in Ritzville, Washington.

Public opinion polling in September suggested that 66 percent of Washingtonians supported the labelling of GM Foods, but that survey was done before the debate over Initiative 522 heated up.

Since then, state farm groups have lined up against GM labelling and newspaper editorials in Seattle, Tacoma and Yakima have denounced the proposed law as misleading, extreme and unnecessary.

For instance, proponents claim that Washington wheat growers will benefit from the law because a substantial portion of the state’s wheat crop is exported to Japan.

Maier said that is nonsense.

“If my number one customer is Japan and they say they don’t want it (GM wheat), of course I’m not going to grow it,” said Maier, Washington Association of Wheat Growers pastpresident.

“It’s kind of a non-issue because there isn’t a GM cultivar out there that is commercially produced.”

Maier is also concerned about the legal ramifications of the legislation.

“The one that really makes me ner-

vous is the litigation comes all the way back to the farm, if there is a contamination (of a crop) coming off my farm…. That’s very unnerving to me.”

While Washington’s farm community is vocally opposing Initiative 522, others aren’t speaking as loudly, Roseboro said.

During California’s debate over GM labelling last fall, major food processors like Kellogg’s, General Mills and PepsiCo campaigned on the no side of Proposition 37.

“You’re not seeing that this year. I think they’re funnelling their money through the Grocery Manufacturer’s Association because they saw a backlash last year,” Roseboro said, from his office in Fairfield, Iowa. “I think a lot of people supporting labelling complained to those companies and there were boycotts organized.”

On top of states introducing legislation on GM labelling, the U.S. food industry is beginning to realize that consumers want it, Roseboro said.

For instance, the chief executive officer of General Mills said in September that he would like to see a national solution for GM labelling, rather than state-by-state legislation.

“It’s definitely on the radar for the big food companies,” Roseboro said.

“The food companies don’t want different labelling standards in so many states. These state initiatives are putting pressure on the FDA to address this issue nationally.”

FARM EQUIPMENT MFG. To help move larger volumes of grain after expanding its presence in Western Canada, grain handler Richardson International has opened new sales offices in Geneva and Singapore. | FILE PHOTO GRAIN | EXPORTS

Richardson expands sales reach New marketing offices | Industry adjusts to provide marketing efforts formerly provided by CWB

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Richardson International, Canada’s largest grain company, is expanding its overseas presence by adding two new marketing offices in Europe and Asia.

Farmers are relieved to see companies and organizations filling a giant CWB-shaped hole in Canada’s overseas grain marketing abilities, says the head of Grain Growers of Canada.

That hole was one of the lingering worries about the end of the Canadian Wheat Board monopoly, but it seems to be shrinking.

“They’re getting out there and making contact with buyers, so that’s a big help,” said GGC president Stephen Vandervalk in an interview.

Winnipeg-based Richardson has opened sales offices in Geneva and Singapore.

The offices are expected to help serve existing customers and build relationships with new buyers in key overseas markets.

“With the open market for wheat and barley and the acquisition of 19 new grain facilities across Western Canada, our volumes have grown significantly over the last year and will continue to grow,” said Brent Watchorn, the company’s executive vice-president of marketing.

“Looking to the future, we want to establish a permanent presence for the Richardson group of companies in key international markets to be closer to our evolving customer base and make the most of opportunities to expand our global reach.”

Richardson already operates a merchandising subsidiary in Hong Kong it established three years ago.

Canada’s grain market presence is further enhanced as the Alberta Wheat Commission handles an increasing number of requests from foreigners and Alberta government officials to meet with, educate and form connections with foreign buyers.

“In the last couple of weeks we’ve taken all kinds of calls,” said commission general manager Doug Cornell.

“Now that the harvest is in, people want to see what’s there.”

When the federal government eliminated the CWB måonopoly, many in the grain industry worried that no one would assume the wheat board’s long-held marketing relationships and its responsibility for overseas promotion of Canadian grain.

But others believed a combination of grain companies, industry groups and governments would fill the void and that appears to be coming true.

“If you look at our sales book, (Rich-

ardson has) been selling to probably 50-plus countries on an annual basis for years now, but in a lot of cases it’s been flax and peas and canola and soybeans and the likes …,” said Watchorn.

“But with the changes in the wheat board, that was sort of the first response we needed to get geared up for because we knew we would sell far more wheat and durum and barley into markets that the wheat board (serviced) ….”

The company has also recently hired Erik Ordonez, a former CWB merchandiser, to manage sales in South America.

Vandervalk said the new situation presents opportunities for companies to sell and deliver multiple commodities at the same time to some customers.

“With the wheat board, there wasn’t that much interest in sending a cargo of canola and wheat and peas, but a lot of sales are probably now being done that way,” said Vandervalk.

He thinks system efficiency will increase as companies take advantage of direct relationships with buyers.

“I think they’re moving a lot more grain through the ports just because they now know where it’s going,” said Vandervalk.

Cornell said his newborn agency

has already hosted a group of Japanese city councilors from an agricultural products manufacturing area, and is planning to meet with a delegation of Taiwanese millers.

A European Union trade commissioner will also soon be in Alberta and the commission hopes to meet with him.

Such connections of farmer, industry and overseas buyer could become a crucial role for the new provincial wheat commissions, Cornell said.

“As the Saskatchewan and Manitoba commissions get set up, along with the potential for an overarching (national organization representing the commissions), I think the industry from a farmers’ perspective will be organized to do that continually,” said Cornell.

The Alberta commission also plans to piggyback on Canadian International Grains Institute connections and overseas travels with Alberta farmers and industry people in order to keep the Canadian overseas voice strong.

Richardson hired Emmanuel Karrer as its director of marketing for Europe working out of the Geneva office.

Boon Guay will work in the Singapore office as Asian marketing director.

Each has at least 20 years of grain merchandising experience.

Alberta exploring new penalties for incomplete and inaccurate filings Snow was still falling last spring when BioExx Proteins of Saskatoon Inc. closed its canola protein processing plant.

Canola processor BioExx granted creditor protection Toronto-based company is trying to sell all of its land and facilities in Saskatoon after closing facility in April

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A Canadian company that developed a patented process to extract concentrated food-grade protein from canola has been granted creditor protection by an Ontario court.

Toronto-based BioExx and its Saskatoon-based subsidiary BioExx Proteins applied Oct. 1 for creditor protection under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act. The Ontario Superior Court of Justice approved the application earlier this week, granting the companies interim protection from creditors until Oct. 31.

BDO Canada has been appointed as monitor.

“After consideration of the available alternatives, (the company’s) board of directors has determined that it is in the best interest of stakeholders of BioExx and its wholly owned subsidiary, BioExx Proteins of Saskatoon Inc., for the company to commence proceedings under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act,” the company said in an Oct. 1 news release.

“Trading of the company’s common stock on the Toronto Stock Exchange has been halted, and the company anticipates that the trading halt will remain in effect pending delisting of the common stock.”

In April, BioExx Proteins of Saskatoon closed the doors of its crushing and extraction plant and initiated a process to sell selected plant assets for $3.5 million.

Proceeds from that sale, which closed in July, were to be used to service debts and supplement working capital.

A l s o t h i s y e a r, t h e c o m p a n y announced plans to sell its remaining assets in Saskatoon — including land, buildings and other facilities — and enter an agreement with unidentified European investors to build a crushing plant in Europe with annual capacity of 75,000 tonnes.

The company’s European backers have since backed away from the

project, leaving BioExx to explore other alternatives.

“The previously referenced potential strategic partner has decided not to move forward with the company, favouring instead a lower risk and more immediate focus on other vegetable proteins that are already commercially available,” the company recently announced.

In its 2012 fiscal year, BioExx reported losses of $63.27 million, or 29 cents per share.

By June 30, 2013, its assets, including cash, were valued at $12.5 million. Liabilities totalled $15.5 million.

The company’s stocks last traded Sept. 27 at one cent, down from $2.86 in mid-October 2010.

BioExx said creditor protection was needed to allow for the launch of a sale process under the oversight of its monitor (BDO Canada) and to retain key employees whose expertise can be used to increase the value of the assets to be sold and maximize the recovery of company value for the stakeholders.

BioExx made a splash in 2009 when it landed a $2.95 million loan through the federal government’s AgriOpportunities program.

The $134 million federal program was aimed at promoting the commercialization of innovative products, processes and services.

At the time, BioExx claimed to be processing 60 to 65 tonnes of canola per day in its recently constructed 44,000 sq. foot plant north of Saskatoon.

The $2.95 million loan was intended to help BioExx buy specialized processing equipment, expand its Saskatoon operations and produce the world’s first canola-based human-grade protein isolate for use in body building supplements and other high-protein nutrition products.

One of those products, Isolexx, contained 90 percent protein in a water-soluble form.

Efforts to contact BioExx officials were unsuccessful.

griStability and AgriInvest are the backbone of federal and provincial business risk management (BRM) programs for the Canadian agricultural community.

BRM represents 67 percent of federal and 73 percent of provincial expenditures on agriculture in Canada.

To gain perspective on how important these payments are to the farming community, program payments have tripled in the past 15 years.

In the last 10 years, these have surpassed aggregate net farm income.

In the same period, BRM payments have increased while farm income has not.

If $35,000 per year in household income is considered a minimum comfort threshold for a Canadian family, more than 55 percent of farms in Canada do not reach this standard and must rely heavily on off-farm

income and government support.

Even for farms with gross income between $100,000 and $250,000, average farm operating income is only $21,681 with program payments averaging $13,202 and off-farm income averages at $29,997.

For farms with less than $100,000 in gross income, program payments are sometimes equal to, but mostly greater than operating income. In fact, farms in the category of $50,000 to $99,000 of gross income, program payments represent 97 percent of operating income.

This information was extracted from a report on the impact of agriculture BRM programs in Canada by the George Morris Centre, an agri-food think tank based in Guelph, Ont. The deadline to submit the 2012 AgriStability-AgriInvest Harmonized forms without penalty was Sept. 30.

The final deadline is Dec. 31, but with a penalty of $500 per month reduction in program payments.

This could be in addition to a 20 percent penalty in your enrollment fees, if you happened to pay your fees more than 30 days after receiving your 2012 enrollment notice.

For farms dependent on AgriStability payments for a large portion of operating income, this could have a serious impact on farm family income.

To avoid penalties, some have resorted to creative tactics that have caught the attention of, and generated some

$13,202 AVERAGE PAYMENTS TO FARMS WITH GROSS INCOMES OF $100,000 TO $250,000 irritation on the part of the Alberta side of the AgriStability program.

To meet the appropriate deadlines, some individuals were filing applications with false or incomplete information with the intention of correcting the application at a later date.

Essentially, applicants were either providing amounts on various line items, which were substantially changed after the filing deadline or providing new details on line items that were previously left unpopulated with data.

The Alberta AgriStability program is looking at ways to incorporate additional penalties for filing incomplete or inaccurate claims to prevent this practice in the future.

If Alberta is considering imposing additional penalties, other provinces will soon follow.
