CFIA says farewell to Ag Canada CFIA moves to Health Canada | Oversight of food inspection now rests with health minister

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

The federal government has decided to move the Canadian Food Inspection Agency to Health Canada after a 16 year stay at the agriculture department.

The decision, which was a n n o u n c e d O c t. 9 , e f f e c t i v e l y removes Agriculture Canada’s oversight of food inspection and food safety and makes health minister Rona Ambrose the key minister on the file. She also oversees the Pest Management Regulatory Agency.

“As a government, we are always looking for ways to improve how we share information and how we communicate with Canadians when it comes to food safety,” Ambrose said in a note to Health Canada staff after the CFIA move was announced.

She noted it will give the department responsibility for CFIA’s food inspection and safety functions to go with responsibility for the Public Health Agency of Canada.

“This reporting change will allow for better co-ordination, collaboration and communication when it comes to food safety,” she said.

“This change also further underscores the CFIA’s commitment to food safety as a top priority.”

Agriculture minister Gerry Ritz will continue to oversee CFIA plant and animal health work, plant varietal regulation and export promotion.

Opposition MPs called it a demotion for Ritz in response to his han-

dling of past food safety scares, including listeria-contaminated products from a Maple Leaf Foods plant in 2008 and E. coli in products from an XL Foods plant in Alberta last year.

“(Prime minister) Stephen Harper has finally demoted minister Ritz for his mishandling of this important public safety issue,” New Democratic Party agriculture critic Malcolm Allen said.

Canadian Cattlemen’s Association general manager Dennis Laycraft took a different view, rejecting the idea it was punishment for Ritz.

“We certainly wouldn’t interpret it that way,” he said.

“We have one of the best food safety systems in the world. This probably makes it easier for him to be out advocating for us around the world, and no one has done as much work on the market access issue as him.”

Bob Kingston, president of the Agriculture Union of the Public Service Alliance of Canada, which represents many CFIA employees, said the switch in departments and ministers did not mean much.

“It really doesn’t change much from the way the system has worked before because health always has played a role,” he said.

“It flips ministers, and since minister Ritz has been under fire over food safety and inspection, I see this more as a diversionary tactic to deflect the criticism.”

The debate about which department CFIA should report to has been ongoing since the agency was created in 1997.

FOOD INSPECTION | HEALTH

A new national organization has been formed to deal with issues affecting Canada’s cereal grains industry.

Cereals Canada was recently incorporated and is billed as a multicommodity organization that aims to enhance the competitiveness of all Canadian cereal grains, including wheat, barley, oats, rye and triticale.

Jean-Marc Ruest, a senior vicepresident with Richardson International, said the new organization will represent the interests of three main stakeholder groups.

CFIA leaves Ag Canada carefully defined and mechanisms established to resolve unanticipated problems,” said a 1998 auditor general report.

“The establishment of an accountability framework was a key concern during the creation of the CFIA. Specific responsibilities for food safety were assigned to the minister of agriculture and the minister of health.”

Critics have since complained that CFIA is in a conflict of interest because it is responsible for food safety and promoting Canadian food abroad as part of trade missions.

Ritz dismissed that complaint as well as the opposition contention

that he was the loser in the decision to reduce his portfolio’s scope.

“I think it underscores the valuable work that Agriculture Canada does on the trade file. We are considered one of the economic portfolios now, and that is a big plus. No one is losing anything.”

He accused opposition MPs of politicizing the food safety issue.

“This is not a political decision,” he said. “It is a pragmatic, practical movement toward more collaboration and more effective, efficient food safety systems.”

Cereals Canada formed “The commissions will be involved … with respect to the direction of producer funds so they will be a strong source of the producer’s voice at Cereals Canada.”

The organization also hopes to work with other national commodity groups, including the Barley Council of Canada, which was recently formed to deal with barley issues.

“We are to a certain extent in uncharted territory here as we build our respective organizations, so I think the key really is going to be communications between the various groups,” Ruest said.

Alberta Wheat Commission chair Kent Erickson, another founding director with Cereals Canada, said he has no concerns about farmer interests being lost or ignored by other stakeholder groups.

He said the group’s overarching objective is to ensure Canada’s entire cereal grains industry remains competitive.

“With changes to the Canadian Wheat Board Act and the way the industry is going now, we really needed a place or a forum where all of the industry could come together and discuss issues that are specific to cereals,” said Erickson.

“We don’t have to agree on everything, but we need to have a place where we can come together with some funds to back us to try and solve some of the problems that we’re facing now with the changes we’ve had in the industry.”

“We essentially have three groups of members, one being producers, one being life science and seed companies and the other sector being handlers, exporters and processors,” said Ruest, one of three founding directors with the new organization.

The group plans 18 directors, six from each of the three sub groups.

Ruest said a search is also underway for a president to oversee the organization’s day to day activities and hopes to have the organization functioning before the end of the year.

The organization will be positioned to advise government on issues that affect the industry, such as changes to varietal registration and funding priorities in cereal grain research, he said.

The founders have also identified market development and promotion as an area where Cereals Canada could play an important role.

Efforts to create an all-encompassing cereals organization began last year when industry stakeholders met to discuss the formation of a national cereals council.

Ruest did not share details of the organization’s operational budget but said financial contributions will come from the three stakeholder groups.

The organization hopes to work with provincial cereal commissions, including new wheat and barley commissions that are being established on the Prairies.

“I think those commissions, as they come on line, are going to be very involved with Cereals Canada,” he said.

FOOD SAFETY | CFIA

Meat sector reacts to CFIA transfer

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Canada’s meat sectors were calculating the implications late last week as they begin absorbing the surprise news that the Canadian Food Inspection Agency is now the jurisdiction of Health Canada.

“We think on balance it makes sense to have food safety responsibility and accountability, the three organizations, together,” Canadian Meat Council government and m e d i a re l a t i o n s d i re c t o r R o n Davidson said following the Oct. 9 announcement.

“We are glad the inspectors are staying together in one department … but I don’t think they went very far into CFIA when they were planning this, so I think they have a lot of stuff to work out yet.”

It was a theme among industry officials responding to the announcement of the most major change in food safety and food inspection structures in 16 years since the CFIA was created.

However, details are scarce about how the new configuration will work with responsibilities split between the health and agriculture departments.

“At this point, I guess we’re really trying to understand where we go if there is a problem,” said Canadian Pork Council communications director Gary Stordy.

“On the surface, we’re pleased that anything to do with exporting stays with Agriculture Canada, and we hope that functions well going forward. The food safety side is a bit more of a mystery.”

For Bob Kingston, president of the union that represents many CFIA employees, there is no mystery.

“They basically have flipped ministers, but the way the system works basically hasn’t changed,” he said.

“Reporting responsibilities have changed, but I don’t hear any commitment for more resources. We do have serious concerns that this change is largely a cosmetic one that will have little positive effect on food safety outcomes in Canada.”

Opposition politicians took the same line of argument, speculating that it was a vote of non-confidence in agriculture minister Gerry Ritz and his handling of the CFIA through several food safety crises.

“I definitely think this is a recognition that Ritz didn’t do a great job on the CFIA file,” said Liberal agriculture critic Mark Eyking.

“I’m not saying this (re-organization) is a bad move, and I hope it produces a more coherent system, but the core of the problem is resources and the fact that the Conservatives don’t believe we need all those inspectors and that companies should be more self-regulating. That is what has to change.”

As Ritz prepares for a new session of Parliament without the requirement to face opposition questions about food safety, he said it is one of the aspects of the change in responsibility he welcomes.

“I won’t miss the politicization on food safety that I saw coming from the opposition in question period.”

CONSERVATION | LAND USE

Alta. releases land use plan Conserving the South Sask. basin | Landowners can continue to manage their own property

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

A draft land use plan for southern Alberta includes proposals for more conservation areas, parks and protection of biodiversity in the province’s most heavily populated region.

The 150 page South Saskatchewan Regional Plan draft, which covers the South Saskatchewan River basin, was released Oct. 10 in Calgary.

“Every day we see growth pressures in this part of the province,” said provincial environment and sustainable resource development minister Diana McQueen.

The project, which has been underway since 2010, returns to the public for consultation from Nov. 5-28 in 21 communities. Input will be accepted until Jan. 15 and any adjustments that are required will be done by spring. The plan becomes law once p rov i n c i a l a p p rov a l ha s b e e n received.

The government has acknowledged the plan will not please everyone.

“Remember this is a draft document,” McQueen said.

“We want to hear what you think about the draft regional plan for southern Alberta and provide us with

direction.”

The plan offers seven outcomes to protect the headwaters, grasslands, agriculture, air and water quality, as well as fragile regions such as the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains.

Agriculture and intact native grasslands are recognized as important land uses.

Few changes are proposed for native grasslands because the government felt landowners have voluntarily done considerable conservation work.

“We took a look at some of the measures in place today and they seem to be working,” said stewardship commissioner Bev Yee. More voluntar y conser vation agreements or protected areas could come later.

Freehold mineral holders and private landowners can continue t o ma na g e t h e i r p ro p e r t y a n d resources.

Many areas were already protected by policy, but protection will be law once the plan is accepted, said Scott Milligan of the sustainable resource development department.

One area up for dispute is the Castle Mountain region in the southwest.

PLAN PROPOSALS There are 1.6 million people in the South Saskatchewan river basin but it only takes up about 12 percent of the provincial land base.

The plan proposes: • 32 new and expanded recreation and conservation areas including Castle Wildland Provincial Park, Castle Conservation Area and Pekisko Heritage Rangeland • 9 new provincial parks • 3 new provincial recreation areas • Increased conservation areas in the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains from 22 percent to 33 percent, adding 322,766 acres of legislatively protected land • Environmental management frameworks for air and surface water that includes strict limits

Under the plan, 109,000 acres in the Castle area will be designated as a wild land park and another 25,000 acres will continue as a conservation area.

A wild land park is the highest protected designation in the province, similar to a national park.

Existing tenures for oil, gas and t i m b e r w i l l b e h o n o u re d , b u t McQueen said there is a hold on further leases in the eastern slopes until the plan is enacted.

Municipalities are encouraged to work with the province to designate land for development and discourage fragmentation of agricultural land.

Another 1,000 camping spaces from minimum impact to fully serviced sites will be created, and designated trails will be created for offroad vehicles.

There is also a commitment to watershed protection, and timber companies’ future plans must be in line with headwaters protection.

The plan also considered climatic disasters. A provincial task force is working on mitigation efforts for future floods that still fit with plan objectives.

McQueen said the basin will not grant more water licences because the resource is fully allocated. She said plans must be made for future development to ensure there is enough for the growing population.

Monsanto expands corn breeding Manitoba facility open | Breeding, testing sites also planned for Saskatchewan, Alberta

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Monsanto is boosting efforts to bring early-maturing corn hybrids to Western Canada.

Earlier this year, the seed technology company established a corn breeding facility in Carman, Man. It was the first big step in a $100 million effort to provide a new crop option for western Canadian farmers.

The second step is coming soon.

“This coming year we’ll be pushing further west with our programs,” said Sam Eathington, vice-president of global plant breeding.

The company intends to establish a second western Canadian cornbreeding facility in Saskatchewan or Alberta or perhaps portions in both provinces.

“We’re still kind of finalizing our plans, but it looks like we’re looking for land and facilities in both areas,” said Eathington.

“We may put a breeding program in Saskatchewan and more of a field testing program out in Alberta, where we can send our material and test it.”

Monsanto announced in June that it was spending $100 million over 10

years to produce corn hybrids suitable to be grown on 26 million acres in Western Canada.

The company has hired breeders, testing managers, agronomists and field experts to work out of the Carman facility.

“We put about a dozen people on the ground this past year,” said Eathington.

It doubled Monsanto’s Canadian corn breeding efforts, which had previously been focused in Ontario.

Eathington said the facility or facilities that will be built in Saskatchewan and/or Alberta will be about the same size as Carman. No locations have been selected.

Monsanto has two corn hybrids on the market with about 75 days of relative maturity.

“We clearly think we need to be at least another five days earlier,” he

said. “We have material that we’re pretty convinced will easily be able to do 70 days, and who knows, maybe even a little bit earlier.”

The company needs to further test tens of thousands of hybrids to find lines with 70-day or earlier maturity that also have the best standability, grain quality, tolerance to light frosts and, most importantly, the yields that growers require.

Eathington is confident Monsanto can deliver early-maturing corn hybrids that yield in the 110 to 120 bushel per acre range, which would make corn an economically viable crop in Western Canada.

“We’re still a couple of years away from probably that 70-day corn being available,” he said.

The company believes eight to 10 million acres of corn could be grown in Western Canada by 2025 based on a conservative rotation of

MONSANTO BELIEVES BY 2025, WESTERN CANADIAN CORN ACRES COULD REACH

10 million

corn grown once every three years.

He said acreage could surpass that level once growers become comfortable with the crop and switch to growing corn every two years.

“There’s a lot of interest in it,” said Eathington.

Today’s crop economics suggest corn would take acres away from wheat and barley grown for livestock feed.

“Those would be the ones that would be the easiest ones to substitute out for corn and would probably be the first targets,” he said.

Bryan Walton, general manager of the National Cattle Feeders’ Association, doesn’t care what type of feed is produced in Western Canada.

“What we want is a good source of feed, whether it’s corn, wheat or barley, that it’s close by and that it’s affordable to the cattle feeders,” he said.

Walton said it would be good for grain farmers to have another crop option, and cattle feeders would use corn if the economics are right.

However, there could be growing pains.

“Most of the feedlots are set up for barley. Corn would require different equipment,” he said.

A pedigreed seed grower from Delisle, Sask., has agreed to pay restitution of $120,000 following the illegal sale of pedigreed seed protected by plant breeders’ rights.

SeCan Association officials confirmed Oct. 9 that a resolution has been reached in a legal action against Leonard Junop and Junop Bros. Seed of Delisle.

The case involved the illegal sale of two PBR protected malt barley varieties: AC Metcalfe and CDC Copeland.

Lorne Hadley, executive director of the Canadian Plant Technology Agency, said “a significant amount” of protected barley seed was sold over two or three years.

“Essentially, they were seed growers who were no longer members of the SeCan Association and they continued to sell SeCan varieties, and of course that’s not permitted,” Hadley said. “We want seed to be sold and we want royalties from seed sales to return to plant breeders so they can do more plant breeding…. In a case like this, there was no royalty … being returned to the plant breeder at all.”

The resolution included an agreement to stop selling SeCan’s protected varieties and make a cash payment of $120,000 to cover financial damages and pay royalties owed to the respective breeding institutions.

Hadley said most PBR infringements do not involve significant volumes of seed and are not viewed as deliberate attempts to sidestep PBR protections.

“Our (CPTA’s) role is really to educate producers and the industry on what PBR means … to monitor the marketplace for infringements and if necessary … to manage the kinds of infringement actions that took place in the Junop case,” Hadley said.

“Cases this size are pretty rare.…

Most of the time, when you run across an infringement, it involves a (commercial) producer and they’re doing it through error.”

Most infringements are resolved outside the court system.

Todd Hyra, western Canadian business manager for SeCan, said protecting intellectual property helps ensure breeding institutions continue to invest in breeding activities.

“In order for Canadian agriculture to remain competitive, we must continue to support the brightest research scientists and expand our ability to deliver cutting-edge varieties and traits.”

Hyra said farmer attitudes toward intellectual property protections have come a long way in the past few years.

“I think probably the most interesting shift has been the mindset of producers … in terms of the need to ensure that Canada is an attractive place (for plant breeders) to invest,” he said.

PBR regulations allow grain producers to save their own seed for replanting on their own farms or sale into the commercial grain handling system.

However, commercial growers are not allowed to sell the seed to other growers for reproduction.

Controlled release fertilizers aren’t recommended for prairie growers under most circumstances. | FILE PHOTO AGRONOMY | FERTILIZERS

SMART NITROGEN

Prairies not suited for CRU fertilizer Controlled release urea | Benefits fail to outweigh the costs, except under specific conditions

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Applying controlled release fertilizers on wheat, barley and canola isn’t worth the extra cost in Western Canada, Agriculture Canada researchers have concluded.

In a study published this spring in the Canadian Journal of Plant Science, Mohammed Khakbazan, an agricultural economist with Agriculture Canada in Brandon, determined that the rate of nitrogen application had the most impact on crop yield and net revenue.

In contrast, choosing a controlled release urea (CRU) fertilizer had little impact on the net revenue in barley, canola and wheat in plot trials conducted across the Prairies.

“In general, the application of NCU (non-coated urea) produced similar or higher returns than the use of CRU, split fertilizer applications or a blend of NCU and CRU,” Khakbazan wrote in the paper.

The conclusions are fairly straightforward, but Cindy Grant, a soil fertility specialist with Agriculture Canada in Brandon, said the message to farmers is more nuanced.

Grant, who co-wrote the research paper with Khakbazan, said banding nitrogen with the seed is the “gold standard” for fertilizer application in Western Canada.

It doesn’t mean canola, barley and wheat growers should avoid controlled release fertilizers, but they should understand why, when and where to use them.

Grant offered four scenarios where a producer might want to choose a coated, controlled-release fertilizer such as Environmentally Smart Nitrogen, an Agrium product, or a nitrogen stabilizer such as Agrotain, made by Koch: • When conditions are wetter than usual.

• If a grower is broadcasting fertilizer because of time or labour constraints.

• If a producer is seeding winter wheat and wants to apply the fertilizer in the fall.

• If a grower is using high fertilizer rates that might jeopardize seed safety.

Grant said controlled release products are better suited for warmer and wetter regions, such as Ontario and Quebec, where there is a greater likelihood of nitrogen loss.

“There’s a short time (on the Prairies) between when you’re seeding the crop and when the crop is starting to take up nitrogen rapidly,” she said. “(Unless) you get extremely warm and wet conditions during that time period, then your losses … are going to be pretty low…. If you’re not having a lot of losses, there’s not an economic (necessity) to try and fix those losses.”

Ray Dowbenko, an agronomy specialist with Agrium, didn’t argue with the data in the Agriculture Canada study. He agreed there are places and times where controlled release urea is more useful “Based on what (Grant) says, I agree 100 percent. There is no point in

using these products if we don’t think there’s going to be value for the grower.”

Dowbenko said growers shouldn’t use controlled release urea on a whim, just because they want to give it a try.

“That’s a mistake with these products. You have to be clear in your mind why you are using them and what you hope to accomplish.”

For instance, highly variable climatic conditions on the Prairies can create times when the products are beneficial.

“We can have extremely wet soils coming out of winter,” he said.

“We can have (significant) rainfall events during the growing season.”

Dowbenko said enhanced efficiency fertilizers are better suited for wetter regions, sandier soil and crops such as potatoes, corn, fruits and vegetables.

“Broad acre crops like wheat and canola, it (the usefulness) is still there, but it’s not as sweet a spot as some of the high value crops.”

Based on a Statistics Canada survey of environmental farm practices, Grant said 70 to 80 percent of growers band fertilizer with the seed in Western Canada.

There’s no doubt that spreading fertilizer is less efficient than banding, Grant added, but other factors, such as a time crunch during seeding, might force a grower to spread fertilizer.

“That extra handling and extra time to band things in can be problematic,” she said.

“Time and labour are also very scarce commodities. You may be willing to (accept) a 10 percent loss in nitrogen use efficiency, to make sure you get your crop in on time.”

Grant said growers who choose to use controlled release fertilizers shouldn’t treat them as a substitute for proper agronomic practices.

Dowbenko agreed.

“They’re not excuses (for) poor fertilizer management,” he said.

“Unfortunately, some people look at these tools and say, ‘well, I can do it this way, (even though) it’s not that efficient.’ ” Dowbenko and Grant said it’s reasonable for growers to view controlled release fertilizer as insurance against adverse or unknown conditions.

Producers typically buy fertilizer in advance and it’s difficult to predict if nitrogen losses will be a risk several months before application.

Dowbenko said growers should consider using a percentage of enhanced efficiency fertilizers in their operation to hedge against potential nitrogen losses.

“Often for wheat growers in Western Canada, we recommend 30 or 40 percent of a controlled release product, not 100 percent.”

The million dollar question for producers who want insurance against nitrogen losses is how much to pay for that insurance.

“If you’ve got higher risk, you’re willing to pay more,” Grant said.

“If you have a low risk, you probably aren’t willing to pay for insurance.”

Agrium’s Environmentally Smart Nitrogen (ESN) is a urea granule coated with a thin layer of polymer. As water moves through the coating, the nitrogen is released as temperature and moisture levels increase.

• In Western Canada, ESN sells at a $90 to $130 premium to conventional urea.

• Agrium opened its ESN plant in Carseland, Alta., in 2006 and expanded its ESN plant in Missouri last year.

• The company can now produce 481,000 tonnes of ESN a year.

• Sales were 284,000 tonnes last year, up from 213,000 in 2010 and 156,000 in 2009.

• Agrium’s Advanced Technologies division, which produces slow and controlled release fertilizers, had revenues of $578 million last year and $510 million in 2011.

Source: Agrium

UREA LOSS Urea losses to the air depend on air temperature and soil pH. For instance, when applying urea to the soil surface: • At 7 C, five percent of the urea is volatized as ammonia after eight days.

• At 24 C, 12 percent of the urea is volatized after eight days.

• At a soil pH of 6.5, 11 percent of the urea is volatized after six days.

• At a pH of 7, 23 percent of the urea is volatized after six days.

Next year country in Ukraine and Russia’s Volga region is not looking promising because wet weather has significantly delayed planting of the winter wheat crop.

“The chance of having a crop as large as this year has probably diminished quite significantly because of those planting issues,” said Burnett.

Analysts are already pencilling in smaller Black Sea wheat crops compared to the estimated 22 million tonnes harvested in Ukraine and the 54 million tonnes in Russia this year.

“With how wet it has been over there lately, we could see 2014 production down to about 15 million tonnes for the Ukraine and about 42.5 million for Russia,” said Alex Bassett, a broker with Allendale Inc. Those hefty shortfalls, if realized, would send wheat business to North American exporters.

“They’ve been very competitively priced compared to the U.S. and a lot of people have been turning to the Black Sea region, just because they’ve been so much cheaper,” he said.

“With these (seeding) issues, that could restore some demand for the U.S.

market and the Canadian market.”

Burnett believes Allendale’s estimate of Ukrainian production is feasible, but he doubts Russia’s crop will take that much of a hit because growers there have the option of replacing lost winter wheat acres with spring wheat.

“To do that much damage to the Russian crop would be, probably at this juncture, a stretch,” he said.

Drew Lerner, president of World Weather Inc., said rain fell “abundantly and persistently” in northern Ukraine and Russia’s upper and middle Volga River basin in midSeptember. The region received 25 to 75 millimetres of rain.

It was the second major rainfall in the area since the summer harvest began.

The rain was followed by a period of cool weather, in which temperatures were 6 to 10 C below normal. It prevented the water from evaporating and kept farmers off their fields during an important period for fall seeding.

The weather improved in early October, allowing farmers to resume fieldwork. Lerner said conditions could turn cool again starting Oct. 17.

Burnett said it wouldn’t bode well for crop development and survival.

“If the cooler than normal tem-

peratures continue and winter does set in, then definitely you would see a lot of winter kill this year,” he said.

Lerner believes 10 to 15 percent of the winter wheat crop won’t be planted, mostly in the Russian portion of the waterlogged region.

It is a far cry from an earlier estimate provided by the Ukrainian Agrarian Confederation, which said Ukrainian farmers would be unable to seed more than 60 percent of the expected 17.3 million acre winter wheat crop.

“The 60 percent figure is way overdone. There’s no way we’re going to leave 60 percent of the crop out of the fields,” said Lerner.

Burnett said farmers still have plenty of time to seed in the southern portion of Russia and Ukraine’s winter wheat growing areas, where planting can continue into the first half of November.

“In some of the northern grain growing areas, we’re certainly out of the optimum planting window and we’re into the will-the-crop-survive planting window,” he said.

Ukrainian farmers had planted 8.9 million acres of winter wheat as of Oct. 7, down from 14 million the same time last year.

Russian farmers had planted 22.7 million acres of all winter grains as of Oct. 9, down from 35.6 million acres the same time last year.

Burnett said the Black Sea crop is the second major wheat crop available for export in 2013-14, next to the U.S. hard red winter wheat crop.

“It is a very important area in terms of price determination,” he said.

Quality problems are surfacing with some of the Black Sea export region’s spring wheat harvest, say analysts.

The same extreme wet weather that has delayed winter wheat seeding also hit Siberia’s spring wheat during harvest, said Bruce Burnett, the CWB’s weather and crop specialist.

Siberia’s wheat production closely mirrors what takes place in Western Canada, so farmers here can well imagine the damage caused by “hefty rains” that started in mid-August and lasted through most of September.

“That has caused some harvest quality issues,” said Burnett.

Parts of neighbouring Kazakhstan had similarly miserable harvest conditions.

Winter wheat is the region’s main wheat crop, but spring seeded wheat has significant acreage.

Burnett expects some Black Sea wheat will be downgraded to feed, which means Russian mills will have to find spring wheat from other parts of the country. That will limit the amount available for export.

“It would probably raise prices and stop exports from happening at an unimpeded rate,” he said.

“There will probably be less export competition because of this quality problem as some of it is turned to feed.”

Alex Bassett, broker for Allendale Inc., said the quality problem is good news for North American exporters. “(Customers) will have to turn somewhere else, and the U.S. and Canada will be the two most likely alternatives,” he said.

CANOLA | MARKET OUTLOOK

Ample global oilseed supply to limit rally opportunities MARKET WATCH

D’ARCE McMILLAN

A

rally in palm oil helped lift canola futures last week, but there isn’t much hope for a sustained oilseed price rally for the rest of this calendar year.

We’ve reported in recent months how canola prices have been kept in check by a record large Canadian crop and ample world supplies of vegetable oil.

On the other hand, oilseed meal supply was tight.

It meant that soybeans, which are about 80 percent meal and 20 percent oil, had more price support than canola, which is 60 percent meal and 40 percent oil.

The palm crop, which is grown mostly in Indonesia and Malaysia, is a major contributor to the global vegetable oil surplus.

This is normally the highest producing period of the year, and analysts expected palm stocks would rise.

Malaysian September statistics showed stocks did rise, but not as much as expected, and demand was better than expected. So palm prices rallied, helping lift soybean oil futures, which in turn helped lift canola futures, even as the massive harvest rolled in.

But the rally ended Oct. 11 and we

Prices often fall as harvest reaches the 50 percent point, and that is about where the

Americans were this weekend.

Conflicting forces in the American harvest are: • Anecdotal reports of better than expected yields, which put pres-

sure on prices.

• Signs that farmers are not rushing to sell, which supports the price.

After strong grain prices the past few years, farmers might have the

financial wherewithal to hold out in the hope of getting stronger prices.

On the other hand, prices for the November and January soybean contract months are almost the same, so the market is not paying farmers to store the crop and is signalling to sell now. In canola futures, deferred contracts are higher than the nearby, showing there is a payment for storage.

Also, canola basis levels have widened as the western Canadian elevator network plugs up with wheat and canola.

There likely won’t be much more support from palm beyond this surprising monthly report. Palm production is usually more than ample to meet demand.

High demand festival seasons in China and India are now over, and India’s demand will likely weaken because it is expected to produce record large domestic crops of soybeans and peanuts.

Record large soybean acreages are expected in South America, and growing conditions might prove favourable there because ocean temperatures in the Pacific are neutral, meaning no El Nino or La Nina.

Taken together, all these factors show there is a lot going against a significant sustained oilseed price rally.

Marketings slow and prices usually edge up once harvest is complete and farmers have sold enough to meet immediate cash flow needs.

However, a significant rally would require a big surprise in demand.

GRAIN MARKETING | UNDERSTANDING MARKET SIGNALS

Farmers need to study market signals for top profits: analyst Futures signal whether to sell or store | Farmers have more marketing control but many don’t understand what the markets are saying

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Many farmers are discovering they don’t understand basic market signals now that the CWB monopoly is gone, says a risk management specialist.

Those signals should be central to any farmer’s marketing plans.

“It’s one issue we’ve really ignored,” said John DePape, whose firm Farmers Advanced Risk Management Co. focuses on crop sales sequencing that maximizes potential returns.

Many prairie market dynamics have been up-ended by the end of the monopoly, giving farmers much more control of their marketing choices.

However, that means farmers are now dealing with issues they have often ignored.

Farmers often used canola sales as their best option for quick cash at harvest time when the CWB controlled much of the wheat, barley and durum pricing and delivery.

Canola was the main futurespriced crop, which could be easily priced and moved soon after harvest, while board grains were harder to price and move quickly.

Once immediate cash needs had been met and the fall bills paid by

quick canola sales, farmers could turn to more careful marketing of the rest of their crops.

DePape said it wasn’t as though farmers did not know about carrying charges, price inversions and seasonal basis level patterns, but they played less of a role than they did in entirely open market systems like the United States.

He said many farmers misunderstand what some crucial signals are saying. For instance, a market with good carry, which is when the price of deferred futures contracts are substantially higher than nearby prices, gives farmers an opportunity to price

their crop now for later delivery at a premium.

However, many farmers think they are seeing evidence that the market is predicting a future rally in crop prices and won’t price anything now because they assume higher prices will come anyway.

If they see an inverted market, with nearby prices higher than deferred prices, many will say they think the market is predicting a future rally that will make deferred prices catch up with nearby prices.

Instead of seeing the inversion as a signal to sell earlier rather than later, they see it as another bullish signal.

“These are two different market

signals telling you two different things, and you’re (incorrectly) reading them (both) the same way,” said DePape.

In reality, an inverted market is an opportunity to sell and move now rather than later, and a market with carry is an opportunity to price or hedge now for deferred delivery at a premium that might not last.

“All else being equal, the (futures) market will drop to where it is now,” said DePape, explaining why carrying charge premiums often don’t last.

He said farmers have more marketing options now, but many will need to learn more about crucial storage

MARKETS OILSEED | SUPPLY

Sunflower prices a mixed bag Premium markets | Oil prices down while confection prices are up

Oil sunflower prices are depressed but the price premium for confection sunflower has never been better, according to processors.

“We have an oversupply of oil sunflower in the world right now,” said Bruce Wiebe, general manager of flax, sunflower and birdseed for Legumex Walker Inc. There were 125,000 tonnes of oil sunflower stored in all positions in the United States as of Sept. 1, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which is up 174 percent from the same time last year.

“That is definitely going to affect the

market. There is no question about it,” said Wiebe.

By contrast, there were 29,000 tonnes of confectionary sunflower inventory, down 30 percent from last year.

The U.S. stocks situation helps explain why the price for oil sunflower is 20 cents per pound compared to 32 cents for confectionary sunflower.

Agriculture Canada is forecasting 23,000 tonnes of carryover from last year’s Canadian crop, but Wiebe isn’t buying that number.

“There is virtually no carryover of sunflower in Canada,” he said.

A wet spring caused Dakota growers to shift acreage from confectionary to oil sunflower, which is less risky to grow.

Tim Petry, field production manager for Sunopta Grains & Food Group, a confectionary sunflower processor in Crookston, Minnesota, said confectionary prices are bucking the lower trend in other crops.

“The premium over the oilseed market (is) higher than (it has) ever been,” he said.

Petry believes the premium will last because of the seeding problems in the Dakotas, where most of the U.S. crop is grown.

“It directly affects our supply. I see

Petry hopes those good prices last until spring, helping convince farmers to grow more confectionary sunflowers.

Wiebe said sunflower yields have been phenomenal in Canada this year.

“Some farmers are talking numbers that I’ve never heard before,” he said.

It’s a different story south of the border, where a freak storm Oct. 4 dumped up to 120 centimetres of snow in portions of western South Dakota and southwestern North Dakota. None of the sunflower crop had been harvested.

“There was quite a bit of crop damage on some of those western areas,” said Wiebe.

“We’ve got quite a bit of reduced yield there in the States. I think the supplies are going to be down, and we’re going to use up what we’ve got.”

Sunflower oil demand has been strong, and Wiebe doesn’t anticipate problems marketing the 2013-14 North American supply.

He anticipates a fierce fight for oilseed acres between canola, soybeans and sunflowers next year, which should bolster prices.

“We’re going to see a lot of change when spring comes around,” he said.

Canola’s direct economic impact on the Canadian economy is $9.55 billion a year, says to a new report.

“Canola has become a powerful engine in Canada’s economy,” Canola Council of Canada president Patti Miller said in a news release.

The economic estimates in the report prepared by LMC International were based on the average of data collected from three crop years: 2009-10, 2010-11 and 2011-12.

The biggest impact was on the farm, where growers were responsible for $6.89 billion, or 72 percent, of the total direct economic activity.

The transportation sector was the next biggest generator of canolarelated revenue at $623 million, followed by the crushing industry at $446 million and primary grain elevators at $221 million.

Canada’s canola industry is responsible for employing 72,302 people, including 51,512 farmers.

Terry Boehm, president of the National Farmers Union, said the canola industry shouldn’t go too overboard patting itself on the back.

“If those acres weren’t in canola they’d be in something else and that obviously would have an impact on the Canadian economy as well,” he said. “It has been a little bit higher value crop, but those acres would be planted to something else.”

Boehm, who grows non-genetically modified canola on his farm near Allan, Sask., said there is a less flattering story to tell about the sector.

“Where it is really having a negative impact is the price of seed and the model that has been established that doesn’t allow farmers to save and reuse seed,” he said.

“I would say that farmers are paying probably three times more at a minimum than they should be for seed, plus they’re buying it every year.”

The economic impact numbers blossom when the study was expanded to include the indirect benefit from associated economic activities and the induced benefit from household spending of the income earned from the canola sector.

The total economic impact on the Canadian economy rises to $19.3 billion per year and 249,000 jobs when the indirect and induced factors are taken into account.

Those are the numbers on which the council wants to focus.

“This report shows how those fields of yellow are creating more opportunity for people all across Canada,” said Miller.

The council plans to use the report to foster support for the industry among the general public, the farm community and government.

“One of the most important things for us is to really show how important trade is to all of Canada, not just the canola industry,” Miller said in an interview.

The canola industry exports 85 percent of the seed, oil and meal produced in Canada. “(The study) shows the importance of all of the efforts on market access and on trade deals and trade negotiations,” she said.

MARKETS CANFAX REPORT FED CATTLE TRADE LIGHT Cash offerings are light because feedlots had to manage their risk earlier this year by forward pricing a lot of their fed cattle.

Feedlots are current in the marketing of the cash cattle they have and they are not overly motivated sellers.

When trade developed midweek, dressed prices were steady to $2 per hundredweight higher than the week before. There was little trade with the Thanksgiving long weekend cutting into slaughtering days.

Live bids were not reported and most sales were dressed, fob the feedlot.

Weighted average steer prices rose 95 cents to 118.79 per cwt. while heifers were $118.11, up $1.35.

Volume sold was 8,513 head, down 33 percent from the week before and down 46 percent from the same week last year. U.S. buyer interest in Canadian cash cattle was quiet, as was the Saskatchewan fed market.

The Alberta cash-to-futures basis weakened 54 cents to -$14.47. That was -$2.36 weaker than the long-term October average.

Weekly western Canadian fed slaughter to Oct. 5 fell two percent to 33,225 head.

Fed cattle exports were unavailable because of the U.S. government shutdown. Stagnant beef demand has forced packers to slow chain speeds to reduce negative margins.

Packers own good inventory and with slower kills expected, cash market will likely remain quiet.

COW VALUES STRONG D1, D2 cows ranged $74-$84 to average $78 and D3s ranged $65-$74 to average $69.83.

Rail grade cows ranged $149-$154.

Western Canadian non-fed slaughter totalled 7,008 head, the most since the beginning of May. With the calf run in mid-stride, nonfed volumes at commercial auctions

U.S. cash hog prices were mostly steady last week, although hog futures were under pressure from expectations of increasing marketready supply.

The partial shutdown of the U.S. government stopped production of several U.S. Department of Agriculture livestock market reports. It forced the Chicago Mercantile Exchange to put forward a controversial plan to settle the October contract when it ended Oct. 14 using futures price movement.

Iowa-southern Minnesota hogs delivered to packing plants were steady at $67-$68 US per hundredweight Oct. 11, compared to $67.50 Oct. 4. The U.S. pork cut-out and weekly slaughter numbers are not available because of the U.S. government shutdown.

Private analyst firm Urner Barry said the cutout was $92.48 per cwt Oct. 10.

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.

have increased.

Prices are seasonally strong and many speculators and seasonal buyers are on the sidelines awaiting lower prices.

The seasonal lows are likely not in yet but non-fed marketing is current, limiting the downside market risk.

RECORD FEEDER FUTURES Feeder futures in Chicago reached record highs on concerns about tight supply, made worse by the large number of cattle killed in South Dakota in the recent blizzard.

Feeder auction volume compared to last year in Alberta was up 81 percent and in Saskatchewan up 70 percent.

With 40,000 head at auction in Alberta, feeder prices traded strong with good North American feedlot demand.

While futures set contract highs, feeder basis levels (the Canadian cash market to the futures) are weak indicating that the new amendments to U.S. country of origin labelling regulations are being priced into the market.

The yearling market showed counter seasonal strength as steers and heifers 800 pounds and heavier rose $1-$4.

Alberta 850 lb. steers set new highs for the year. Only once before in the past 13 years, in 2011, have 850 lb steers set highs in October.

Yearling market strength is surprising given current fed contracts for the first part of 2014 are not robust.

The Tyson packing plants at Lexington, Nebraska, and Pasco, Washington, are scheduled to slaughter only B class fed cattle (Canadian feeders, fed in the U.S.).

Partial loads in electronic sales are being discounted. Truck supply could be an issue soon, so flexibility with delivery dates should also be considered.

The calf market looked stronger by the end of the week while yearling prices were about steady.

WATER | CONSERVATION

CRAIG’S VIEW

Efficient water, crop use pivotal to future needs

W

estern Canadian farmers and agricultural stakeholders have made significant improvements in water efficiency over the years.

Many have switched to pipelines instead of open canals and have adopted conservation methods such as variable rate irrigation methods and low pressure systems.

But the job doesn’t stop there.

The global demand for water, land and food is expected to grow at a constant pace over the next several decades, just as threats from climate change, more variable weather and a rising world population and affluence promise to put added stress on our need for both crops and water.

These challenges are intensifying as the world nears the end of the United Nation’s Decade for Action, Water for Life initiative, which is slated to wrap up in 2015.

Information first and then action are vital if we are to make any headway.

The report by the Expert Panel on Sustainable Management of Water in the Agricultural Landscapes of Canada, called Water and Agriculture in Canada: towards sustainable management of water resources, points out the need to identify future risks in markets, land use, water use and climate to better set a course of action.

The panel, set up by the federal government to provide scientific guidance for water sustainability, consists of a collection of experts from across Canada.

The report, released earlier this year, pointed out that Canada’s crop export opportunities are likely to grow, even as demand for water increases, partially to feed crops but for myriad other uses as well: urban, industrial and recreational.

Producers, policy-makers and other stakeholders will require detailed information to make decisions on production, infrastructure investments and agricultural policies.

Agriculture requires a reliable supply of fresh water, and the panel points out that an integrated water and climate monitoring system with forecasting capabilities

could greatly mitigate risk and identify opportunities.

Recommendations also include measuring the effects of agricultural practices on water and ecosystems and for improving knowledge of promising farm technology. The study also focused on establishing more effective systems and policies to support sustainable practices.

Crop production is the number one global consumer of fresh water. The issues of food security and universal access to safe, potable water are inextricably linked.

One way to improve both is cited as a key finding of another recent study, this one from the University of Minnesota’s Institute on the Environment and the University of Bonn’s Institute of Crop Science and Resource Conservation.

The study found that we have much to gain by boosting efficiency in areas with the least productive land at the lowest end of the water productivity scale (crop produced per unit of water).

It estimated that increasing water productivity to just the 20th percentile (meaning 80 percent of regions studied would still be more efficient) could increase crop production in those areas by 30 percent with no increase in water or land use.

The World Food Programme estimates 870 million people worldwide are chronically hungry, and the benefits to be gained from some relatively simple, locally instituted management practices are huge.

There are many ways to boost water efficiency, many of them not dependent on water at all. For example, better quality seeds that use moisture more effectively, proper soil nutrients and reducing wind erosion all play important roles in obtaining more crop for every drop of water.

Granted, there are myriad other concerns, such as reducing food waste and spoilage and improving distribution.

However, improving water productivity and management must be a key pillar in any foundation for a sustainable future.

FOOD SAFETY TEAM | FEDERAL APPOINTMENTS

Canada’s new food safety leaders come from diverse backgrounds NATIONAL VIEW

BARRY WILSON

S

he is an Albertan with substantial government experience both as a federal cabinet minister and a senior Alberta government bureaucrat.

He is a Saskatchewan guy with a long career as a senior federal public service.

These two are the one-two punch in running the federal government’s new food safety pyramid — health

minister Rona Ambrose and deputy health minister George DaPont.

Last week, the government announced it was moving responsibility for the food safety side of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency from Gerry Ritz’s Agriculture Canada to the health department led by Ambrose.

The move left some in the industry scratching their heads about the implications for them — for inspection and reaction during the next inevitable food safety crisis.

Ambrose, a nine-year MP from Edmonton, has held a number of cabinet portfolios since the Conservatives won power in 2006. Although she has no obvious agricultural credentials, she does understand how government works.

In Alberta, she was a senior official

in the intergovernmental and international affairs bureaucracy. At federal Public Works Canada she earned a reputation as a “fixer,” getting movement on some major government military procurement projects that had been languishing.

In health, she has one of the most sprawling and complex departments in the government that requires significant dealings with provinces and health industry lobbies.

Some of these life lessons, power exercises and skills may come in handy as she takes over responsibility for the CFIA. Opposition MPs already are calling for her to take charge, order an audit called for by fellow Edmontonian Sheila Weatherill after the 2008 listeria outbreak to find out what resources are available and are needed and

demand that the CFIA get the resources it requires to do its job.

In some ways, she also is becoming something of a mini-agriculture minister.

Ambrose also has responsibility for the Pest Management Regulatory Agency, another agency that sometimes can get the government and its political minister in trouble.

And if she finds herself a bit confused or overwhelmed by the sharp politics and demands of the food safety system in Canada, she can always walk down the hall to talk to DaPont, her deputy minister.

DaPont made the move to health this summer after a long federal career that included heading up the Coast Guard.

But his greatest use to Ambrose in the days ahead will be his three years

DaPont led the agency through some significant changes, did a credible job (when political bosses allowed) of explaining what went wrong during the 2012 XL Foods E. coli episode and began the work necessary within the agency to create the regulations needed to bring the Safe Foods for Canadians Act into effect by 2015. He knows his way around the CFIA labyrinth as well as the corridors of power.

In Ottawa circles, a more unknown commodity at this point is new CFIA president Bruce Archibald, a former deputy agriculture minister in Ontario who has not yet faced the public glare to test his mettle on a food safety issue but that will come soon.

Harvest brings colours of achievement

BY ALAN GUEBERT

O

n a sparkling fall day, a week before the first FarmAid concert at the University of Illinois, I drove the back roads to Champaign to pick up two press passes for the lovely Catherine and me.

It was mid-September, 1985, and the brown corn and yellowing soybeans rattled and rippled in a soothing breeze against a postcard blue sky.

Later, while standing in line to pick up the passes, I spied a pair of purple cowboy boots that I followed upward to find a slender lady with a pay telephone — no one had cellphones back then — planted across her wide-eyed face.

“No, it’s worse than we thought when I left New York,” she shouted into the phone.

“All the crops are dead. All. Dead.”

Well, they were ripe, too, but I didn’t want to scoop her scoop, so I looked at my scuffed shoes and smiled a knowing smile.

That’s the thing about living in the Midwest this time of year: all the crops, pastures, woods and gardens take on a colour of achievement, a hue of ripeness, or, if you like, the shades of old age.

Some fields and roadsides go gold, others slip on a layer of yellow while many do a slow mosey through shades of tan, then bronze, and finally, a final brown.

It wasn’t until I was 10 or 11 years old that I noticed fall’s colour slowly washing out summer’s warm greens.

That discovery occurred on the daily school bus ride as I watched and then marveled at a long line of pencilstraight cottonwood trees change

Changing seasons provides a kaleidoscope of colours. | FILE PHOTO from green to yellow-green to yellow to brown to bare.

Then, a couple of years later, my biology teacher gave this seasonal shift a name. She called it senescence. It quickly became a favoured word, a word I heard whispered by the always whispering cottonwoods.

Senescence. Now it reminds me of the way fall slips in each September: slowly, sweetly, soothingly, surprisingly.

One colourful sign of autumn on

the big southern Illinois dairy farm of my youth was my great-uncle, whom everyone called Honey, wearing a big-pocketed denim coat as he chopped silage or tinkered around the barnyard.

Another sign was the trail of peanut shells Uncle Honey left in his wake because one of the coat’s pockets always held a stock of unshelled, boiled peanuts that he brought to share with his great nephews.

Senescence finally claimed Honey

Since that farm was in the Mississippi River bottoms, most of fall’s colours were supplied by grain crops rather than trees. Bottom land trees, mostly cottonwoods, black willows, sycamores and silver maples, seem like they never find fall’s crayon box.

Few radiate gold; none smack you with the crimsons and reds of oaks and hard maples.

The trees of my current farmette, however, sparkle in the fall. My straight and strong hard maples, pushed by a hot, dry September, began to whisper orange and red weeks ago.

The big hickory trees, perhaps embarrassed by the showy maples, are finally allowing some gold to creep into their tops, but the huge black walnuts, heavy with fruit the size of fat, well, walnuts, are already all yellow and half bare.

One prized tree, a sturdy, multibranched red oak, however, will not tease my eyes or flirt with my heart this fall or any future falls. Last year’s drought badly weakened it and some disease this year just stonekilled it.

Soon enough, though, some cold winter week, I will fell it, saw it, split it and stack it and next winter its many decades of golds and reds and oranges will once again dance before me and the lovely Catherine in our home’s wood stove as we warm ourselves against the cold fingers of senescence.

NET RETURNS | WHAT CROP BRINGS IN THE BACON

Where the money is; tallying the net returns HURSH ON AG

W

hat are the most profitable crops? The numbers may surprise you.

Let’s use the provincial average yields that Saskatchewan Agriculture is reporting. Prices have been gathered from a variety of sources for nearby delivery and are f.o.b. farm in central Saskatchewan.

First, the cereals. For spring wheat, Canada Western Red Spring is still the main class grown, and a protein content of 12.5 percent seems typical this year.

Prices of around $5.70 a bushel are reported for No. 1 and the provincial average yield is an amazing 46 bu. per

acre. That generates a gross return of around $262 an acre.

On durum, there’s lots of No. 1 around, but the typical protein is probably more like 12 percent. The price is around $5.65 for nearby delivery.

The provincial average yield is estimated at 44 bu. per acre. Gross return is slightly less than spring wheat at $249 an acre.

Oat yields are huge with the provincial average at 92 bu. per acre.

Assuming a price of $2.60 a bu., that’s a gross of $239 an acre.

Barley returns are disappointing.

The vast majority will be sold as feed, and the central Saskatchewan price is around $3.10 a bu. With an average yield of 69 bu. per acre, the gross return is only $214 an acre.

Although a minor acreage crop, canaryseed is another cereal option.

An average yield of 1,300 pounds an acre is being reported.

The current price has dropped to around 23.5 cents a lb., but that still generates a gross return of $306 an

acre. On top of this, canaryseed is less expensive to grow than other cereals, mainly because of lower fertilizer requirements.

When it comes to oilseed crops, canola is top of mind. The provincial average of 38 bu. per acre is by far the best ever.

Assuming a price of $10.30 a bu., the gross return is $391 an acre.

The average yield for flax is pegged at 27 bu. per acre, and a price of $12.50 a bu. is still available. That’s an average gross return of $338 an acre.

According to Saskatchewan Agriculture’s Crop Planning Guide 2013, the variable expenses to grow canola in the dark brown soil zone come to around $209 an acre compared to only $134 per acre to grow flax. That means flax is actually more profitable.

Mustard is even better. Averaging the current prices for yellow and brown mustard gives a value of about 35 cents a lb. On 1,300 lb. an acre, that’s a gross return of $455 an acre.

The cost of growing mustard is about the same as flax, which means that mustard eclipses both of the other oilseeds in net return.

It should be noted that weed control remains an issue in mustard. To get the top grades, there’s a low tolerance for canola seeds and inseparable weed seeds.

Pea and lentil returns are quite close in the pulse crops. Peas have an average yield of 43 bu. per acre with the current price for yellow peas at around $6.50 a bu. This gives a gross return of $280 an acre.

With lentil prices around 18.5 cents a lb., the average yield of 1,700 lb. an acre generates a gross of $315 an acre.

Taking into account the somewhat higher production cost of lentils, they still end up with a marginally higher net return.

Note that the crops with the biggest yields do not have the highest net returns.

EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

JOANNE PAULSON, EDITOR

W

hen I arrived in the office one morning last week, Farm Living editor Karen Morrison and web editor Paul Yanko were unpacking a large and heavy box.

“Come and see our haul,” Karen said.

Was it Christmas? Someone’s birthday? A fertilizer delivery? No! They were unpacking plaques that were presented to Western Producer journalists at the Canadian Farm Writers’ Federation awards banquet in Harrison Hot Springs, B.C., Oct. 5.

Karen Morrison and Karen Briere, who were in attendance, were exhausted running up to accept them all.

WP staff took awards in five of 14 categories, which we thought was pretty great considering that we are not eligible to enter many of the categories, such as TV news reporting and radio news reporting.

A nice benefit to the writers is that each award comes with some notinsignificant cash: gold earns $300, silver $200;and bronze $100.

The Western Producer is also a sponsor of the event. We sponsor the Daily Press Reporting/C.B. Fairbairn award, which seems a sensible category since, until we went daily online, we were a weekly paper. That meant we were seldom in the running for a win in our sponsored category.

I am so proud of our staff, and the award recognition gives me a chance to brag a little bit in public.

I must say, it’s really fun to do so.

Congratulations to the following WP staff.

Weekly press reporting: Gold: William DeKay, for his story DNA wins the day for Sask. cattle producer.

Silver: Sean Pratt, for his story Canola damaged by high wind.

Bronze: Robert Arnason, for his story Tiny insects, big problems.

World Wide Website: Gold: Paul Yanko, web editor, responsible for populating our website.

News photograph: Gold: William DeKay, for his photo Helping neighbours.

Silver: Mary MacArthur, for her photo End of day.

Press Editorial: Silver: Barb Glen, for the WP editorial XL Foods failure to inform may have long term impact.

Bronze: D’Arce McMillan, for the WP editorial Gutted national census data doesn’t tell the whole story.

Press Feature: Bronze: Barb Glen, for her piece, Grow more canola? Not so fast.

ADAPTABLE AND STRONG To the Editor: Re: Article on science commitments at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Sept. 26.

AAFC has a 127 year history of scientific achievement and we continue to drive leading-edge scientific discovery in everything from fusarium resistance to biopesticides.

The change of direction you cite is not in our commitment but in our focus. AAFC remains the biggest single player in agricultural research in the country.

We have increased the science envelope under Growing Forward 2 by 40 percent and our cost-shared investments with the provinces and territories by 50 percent.

At the same time, the fast-changing agricultural industry is influencing government’s involvement and investment throughout the innovation continuum. So we are focusing on core research where we have a critical mass and the government has a clear role and adds value.

At the same time, we are supporting industry in playing a greater role at later stages in the innovation process where they can best determine what will contribute to the ongoing economic success of their sectors. And we are helping them jump that last hurdle to get good ideas out of the lab and into the marketplace.

We will continue to maintain a strong network of research centres and offices as well as world-class scientific expertise across the country to meet industry needs. At the same time, we are consolidating activities in fewer sites in order to concentrate our resources on the science rather than maintaining aging infrastructure.

Everyone agrees collaboration is the way forward. That’s why under the $700 million federal AgriInnovation Program, the industry-led research clusters are leveraging our scientific expertise with universities and industry to move the industry forward in a range of sectors.

For example, the $97 million Canadian Wheat Alliance, a collaboration between AAFC, the National Research Council, the University of Saskatchewan and the province of Saskatchewan, is working to increase wheat yields by an estimated 10 bushels an acre over the next five years.

The Government of Canada and AAFC continue to look to science to bring real results for our farmers, consumers and the economy.

I’m proud of the work that our science team continues to deliver every

day. And I’m confident that AAFC will remain adaptable and strong as we carry out our mandate in support of a sector that is vital to the economic and social well being of Canadians.

Suzanne Vinet, deputy minister, Agriculture Canada, Ottawa, Ont.

STILL NO RESPONSE To the Editor: In a news release dated Aug. 14, the g ov e r n m e nt o f Sa s k at c h e w a n launched a public review of the Surface Rights Acquisition and Compensation Act.

In that news release, energy and resources minister Tim McMillan states: “We believe that Saskatchewan landowners and the oil and gas industry deserve to operate under an efficient and effective system that respects everyone’s property rights.”

Yes, Mr. McMillan, that is all the mineral rights owners in the Rocanville Potash Restricted Drill Area are wanting.

Our mineral rights in this zone are now worthless, with no compensation since 1995, unlike the oil and gas companies that were given crown leases around the Swift Current area in lieu of the leases they held in the no drill zone at the time the law was enacted. I don’t believe that that in any way “respects everyone’s prop-

erty rights.”

It is way past time that the potash industry and the provincial government sit down with the Rocanville PRDA Committee, who represent approximately 190 freeholders, and come up with a fair and equitable compensation package for both sides that will “respect everyone’s property rights.”

Dennis Hack, Rocanville PRDA Committee

BALANCE SOIL NUTRIENTS To the Editor: Yield equals genetic potential

minus stress. Crops routinely achieve less than 30 percent of their genetic yield potential.

The main stress is out of proportion soil nutrients, creating non-ideal growing conditions for food crops.

Manipulating genetics is not a substitute for nutrition.

Genetic modification in its multiple forms of food crops does not provide the required nutrients and cofactors required for enzyme function in digestive and metabolic systems.

The animal/human consuming GM material experiences inflammation, due to immune system/allergic reactions, incomplete digestion of food, impaired organ function, organ stress and genetic damage-inconsistent cell reproduction. Only food

OPINION grown on nutritionally balanced soil can meet the demands of an animalhuman.

If you believe technology can create a healthy organism, you probably also believe technology will cure cancer, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, arteriosclerosis, autism, allergies and depression. Technology will not cure a problem; it is only capable of treating symptoms.

Illness is a function of trans-generational nutrition and chemicalelectromagnetic interference. It will take generations of nutritionally correct living to correct genetic damage from years of trans-generational malnutrition and chemical-electromagnetic interference.

The secret to nourishing nine billion people by 2050 is in the soil, not in genetics.

WHEAT | MARKETS

Growing quality wheat key to retaining market share

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Canada’s wheat industry needs to devise a strategy to ensure that global market share is maintained, says the vice-president of marketing with Richardson International.

Brent Watchorn said there are signs that Canada’s reputation as a supplier of top quality, high protein milling wheat is beginning to slip.

He said some foreign buyers aren’t as impressed with Canadian wheat quality as they were a few years ago.

“As we’ve gotten into this market, I think we’ve found over the past two or three years that maybe the Canadian crop has not been as high a quality as we thought,” said Watchorn.

“We’ve gone in and dealt with some new customers that have said, ‘hey, even prior to the protein issue, the quality of the Canadian crop from a gluten strength on processing (perspective) has not been as strong as it has been in the past.’ ” Canadian wheat production is expected to surpass 33 million tonnes this year, but protein levels are below the 10-year average and quality is variable.

Environmental conditions play a key role in determining the quality, but varietal selection is also a factor.

Watchorn said Canada’s wheat industry must decide if it wants to continue growing premium quality milling wheat or if it would rather

grow larger volumes of a lower quality product.

“Obviously volume is important to farmers, and it’s important to ourselves as well, but you’ve got to balance out the pricing of both of those components and decide where we want to go strategically.”

Definitive data is limited, but there are suggestions that more Canadian farmers are opting to grow highyielding Canada Prairie Spring red varieties rather than Canada Western Red Spring, Canada’s current gold standard for milling quality.

CPS wheat varieties typically offer higher yields than CWRS but also produce grain with less protein and inferior milling and baking characteristics.

New midge-tolerant CPS red varieties such as Conquer VB and Enchant VB are also coming onto the Canadian market and are expected to gain acres, especially in regions with limited fusarium pressure.

Alberta wheat growers who planted Conquer VB last year saw a yield advantage of 33 percent over CWRS check AC Barrie.

CPS red varieties accounted for less than one percent of all wheat acres planted in Manitoba and Saskatchewan and less than five percent of total wheat acres planted in Alberta.

By 2012, Alberta’s total CPS red acreage had doubled to nearly nine percent of the province’s wheat acres, according to data contained in Yield Alberta.

an you imagine how fear must have crushed the heart of the youngster?

Ann Weems paints a poetic picture in her book Multiply The Gift.

“It was a family treasure, that vase, that golden vase that belonged to my great-grandmother, my grandmother and now to my mother.”

We can visualize little fingers reaching up as the youngster stood on tiptoes to lift the object of beauty and curiosity off the mantel.

She knew it was special and planned how she would handle it ever so carefully. But it was heavier than she thought and it slipped and fell as she, too, fell.

“Golden pieces of once a family treasure — valueless — that moments before was priceless.”

She began to cry, huge gasping sobs “that brought my mother running.”

She could hardly get it out.

“I broke the vase … the treasure.

Then my mother gave me a gift. A look of relief (came) over her face, (and she said,) ‘oh, I thought you’d been hurt.’ And then she hugged to her the one who had just moments before broken the family treasure.”

The poet continued: “She gave to me a gift: she made it very clear that I was the family treasure. I was what was priceless and of great value. She also made it very clear where her heart was.”

Anyone who has had a frightening grace-filled moment will immediately grasp similar images put to us

by Jesus. We are God’s treasures.

Even when disastrous circumstances blacken our day, the warmth of God’s forgiveness and love enfolds us in the same way the mother showed the child it was she who was priceless.

Each day has troubles but we live in God’s world and we are repeatedly assured of God’s love.

U.S. CANOLA | SEEDING INTENTIONS

Winter canola finds fans among U.S. Great Plains growers Winter canola | Some growers are wary about the crop, but it has proven viable despite unfriendly weather

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Canola acres in Oklahoma, Kansas and Texas could reach 500,000 this year, say growers in the region.

Great Plains Canola Association president Jeff Scott said farmers were scrambling to plant canola before the Oct. 10 crop insurance deadline.

Acreage could double from last year if the weather holds.

“Our estimates right now are somewhere between 400,000 and 500,000 acres of canola seeded throughout this southern Great Plains region,” said Scott, who farms near Pond Creek, Oklahoma, and seeded 1,300 acres of winter canola this year.

Growers in Oklahoma, Kansas and Texas planted 250,000 acres of canola last fall. Scott said both new and experienced growers are driving the acreage gains.

“We have some young growers, where this is their second or third year (with canola). If they had 200 or 300 acres last year, they’re growing 1,000 acres this year.”

Heath Sanders, a field specialist with the canola association, said the industry is maturing rapidly in the southern Plains as people realize acres in the millions are possible.

“We have made great strides in the last two or three years. We’re getting more interest of seed companies and the industry itself down in this area because they are starting to see the potential,” he said.

“In Oklahoma alone, we’ll plant four to five million acres of wheat. If you rotate it every other year, or every third year, and you add Texas and Kansas … we should see two or three million acres down the road.”

As an example of the interest in canola, a meeting in Enid, Okla., in July attracted more than 400 farmers.

Despite the interest and the adoption of canola into farming operations, neophyte growers still ask basic questions about the crop.

“How do I plant it, how do I harvest it and where do I take it?” Sanders said.

Adequate moisture, or in some cases excess soil moisture, have produced nearly ideal planting conditions this fall compared to last year, when growers seeded winter canola into parched, concrete-like soil.

Difficult conditions affected crop progress, but yields in the region were decent this summer, Scott said.

“We did get some spring moisture and came out with a pretty respectable crop. Nothing to compare with Canada and North Dakota yields, (but) we still came out with a 1,600 pounds (32 bushel) per acre average.”

Sanders said canola’s resilience has impressed farmers.

“The canola has really proven itself … with so many curveballs thrown at it, with our weather.”

Ron Sholar, executive director of the canola association and a former Oklahoma State University extension specialist, said canola has proven many people wrong in the southern Plains, including him.

“I was the guy who said it would never work.”

U.S. SNOWSTORM | COMPENSATION

Aerial seeded Livestock deaths from freak storm being tallied canola fared well for N.D. farmers

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Grower says it was one of the highest yields he’s had

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Frustration had become entrenched by late May on Dale Thorenson’s farm near Newberg, North Dakota.

Thorenson and his son and nephew thought they wouldn’t seed a crop on their fields because the land was saturated following a late snow melt and heavy rain in May. Unwilling to give up, they decided to aerial seed 1,300 acres with canola in early June.

The act of desperation paid off as the crop produced a near record yield for their farm.

“They (yields) were in the 2,500 pound (50 bushel) range,” said Thorenson, assistant director of the U.S. Canola Association.

“For canola, I’d say that would match the highest yield we ever had.”

Thorenson said his son and nephew, who basically run the farm, decided to seed with an airplane.

They chose to aerial seed, a first for the Thorenson farm, because they wanted something in the ground to soak up the excess moisture.

“They knew they weren’t going to get all of the land seeded but they wanted something growing on it. So this seemed the most plausible (crop) to get going,” he said.

“They didn’t expect it to turn out as well as it did.”

The cousins incorporated the canola into the soil immediately after seeding with a coulter and a harrow and then applied fertilizer when the crop emerged.

Thorenson said neighbours thought they were nuts, but the canola responded despite the unorthodox start.

Canola plants covered every acre of the field when it came time to harvest in late September, even areas with large rocks.

“The one field (with) rock piles, they had trouble harvesting because they couldn’t see where the rock piles were,” Thorenson said.

“All of the sudden they’d be on top of a rock pile that was (hidden by) canola.”

He said climate change and the two decade stretch of wet weather on the northern Plains could make aerial seeding more common.

“Sure we have crop insurance, but crop insurance is more designed for producing a crop, not preventive planting,” he said.

“You really need to grow a crop … whether it’s aerial seeding or an air system that’s put on a coulter that you can float over the ground.”

Brian Jenks, a North Dakota State University extension specialist in Minot, N.D., said aerial seeding remains rare in the state.

He said everything had to work perfectly in the Thorenson experiment to achieve yields of 50 bu. per acre.

As a result, he’s not ready to recommend aerial seeding to canola growers in North Dakota.

Two South Dakota livestock groups are organizing fundraising to help ranchers who lost thousands of cattle in a severe blizzard Oct. 5-6 that also hit Colorado and Wyoming.

Some parts of South Dakota saw as much as 48 centimetres of snow.

The number of cattle lost was still being calculated as drifts began to disappear in warming weather last week.

Rain, heavy snow and high winds led to hypothermia and suffocation for cattle still out on summer range.

The storm drove many to seek shelter in creek bottoms and along fence

lines, where they died.

“There was just a combination of factors that made this especially devastating,” said Jodie Anderson, executive director of the South Dakota Cattlemen’s Association.

“First and foremost was, it was a very heavy rain followed by a really heavy, wet snow and bad winds in the (100 to 110 km-h) range. That combination of factors, these cattle were just soaked to the bone when that wind picked up, and they didn’t have their winter coats on.”

Cattle were still on summer pasture, which has less protection than winter range.

Anderson said Oct. 8 that she had heard anecdotal reports of losses from a few head to a few hundred, but

expected to have a better estimate in coming days.

“We’re finding live cattle miles and miles from where they’re supposed to be. It’s just kind of a mess,” she said.

“I think it’s really going to take an emotional toll in addition to a financial one.”

Ranchers seeking information on potential compensation are being frustrated by the current turmoil in the U.S. government, which is virtually shut down during a budget impasse.

“It’s definitely adding to the confusion,” Anderson said. “One of the big factors right now is, when I’m being asked are there insurance programs or what can these producers do, we don’t have a farm bill so the disaster

assistance programs that would normally be available aren’t currently available to these folks. Even if the government was operating, we don’t have a farm bill that would be authorizing programs to help.”

“Early estimates just in the state of South Dakota are showing losses of 15 to 20 percent of entire herds,” U.S. National Farmers Union president Roger Johnson said in an Oct. 7 news release.

In the absence of other assistance, Anderson said her organization is working with the South Dakota Stockgrowers Association to develop a fundraising plan to help affected ranchers. Once finalized, details will be available on the SDCA website at www.sdcattlemen.org.

We’re expecting our overall average to be round about 25 or closer to 26 tonnes per acre.”

percent as of Oct. 8. Llewelyn-Jones said he still considers that “fairly decent.”

Frost warnings in southern Alberta in recent weeks require caution from growers.

Beets that have been defoliated must be dug and hauled to receiving stations that same day.

Otherwise, frost can penetrate the beet crown, leading to quick deterioration.

Frost-affected beets must be processed quickly to avoid quality loss.

Growers deliver to one of seven receiving stations. Those piled in areas other than Taber are later trucked to the Taber factory.

Llewelyn-Jones said he expects the entire crop will be processed by the second or third week of January.

Processing at the factory started Oct. 5, slightly later than usual because of fewer acres contracted by the company this year.

Last year, growers har vested 827,434 tonnes of sugar beets with an average sugar content of 19.1 percent.

Saskatchewan’s two new cereal commissions are seeking nominations for their inaugural elected boards.

Director nominations for the Saskatchewan Wheat Development Commission and the Saskatchewan Barley Development Commission will be accepted until Oct. 18.

Elections are slated for Nov. 28.

The wheat commission requires seven directors and the barley commission six.

All producers registered with the SWDC and SBDC are eligible to serve as directors. A registered producer is a Saskatchewan producer who has sold wheat or barley in the last two years.

Producer elected directors will manage levies and work to ensure that the interests of Saskatchewan growers are supported.

Levy collection on the two crops became mandatory in Saskatchewan on Aug.1, 2013.

Levy rates for wheat and barley are set at 52 and 50 cents per tonne respectively.

The refundable levies are collected in addition to any provincial or federal check-off levies previously in effect.

Additional information is available online at www.saskwheatcommission.com.

The SWDC and SBDC have also named Tom Steve as general manager of the two commissions.

Steve is a former director of customer relations with Viterra.

Class action suit against XL Foods progressing Meat recall fallout | More than 200 plaintiffs have joined a lawsuit seeking compensation from beef processor XL Foods

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

An Alberta judge has certified a $10 million class action lawsuit against XL Foods.

The beef processing company in Brooks, Alta., was involved in Canada’s largest meat recall last year when E. coli O157: H7 contamination sickened 18 people across Canada.

About 4,000 tonnes of beef were recalled.

Court of Queen’s Bench associate chief justice John Rooke certified the class action lawsuit in a hearing Oct. 8. This allows those suing the company to do so as a group.

More than 200 plaintiffs have joined the lawsuit, said lawyer Richard Mallett of the Edmonton firm James H. Brown and Associates.

People have come for ward claiming they were sickened after eating beef products from XL. They had to take time off work due to illness or want compensation for meat they had to throw out.

“It is up to the courts to determine what kind of proof is needed,” Mallett said.

He said the lawsuit is seeking accountability for what happened.

“A class action allows an individual

who might not have the resources or the courage to be able go up against a large corporation. It allows individual consumers to come together as a class and support each other,” he said.

“It makes sure the companies involved follow the rules and do all they can to ensure the safety of consumers at the other end.”

JBS Canada Inc. eventually bought the processor and has implemented new food safety measures.

Mallett would not speculate on what forms of compensation might be granted if the case is won.

“We are still confident there is going to be recovery, but I can’t get into the details on it. Some of that would be confidential,” he said.

The case may not get to court until 2015.

Public notice will be published in Canada and the United States and covers those who were sickened or had to throw meat away.

An independent inquiry into the XL affair found flaws in the company’s processes and said there were inadequate responses by the processor and Canadian Food Inspection Agency staff when E. coli contamination was detected in the plant.

XL has issued a third party notice

XL FOODS RECALL • The September 2012 recall stands as the largest meat recall in Canadian history.

• The recall removed 18,000 products from Canadian and American markets.

• An independent review estimated the recall cost the beef industry $16-$25 million.

• The independent review concluded, “It was all preventable.”

against the agency, alleging it was also at fault for what happened.

Lawsuits against food companies are more common in the United States, but a class action against Maple Leaf Foods due to listeria contamination was successfully completed.

It was the largest case of its kind in Canada, said Mallett.

The company agreed to pay up to $27 million to settle class action lawsuits over the outbreak, which was linked to 20 deaths across the country.

Maple Leaf said it would assume full responsibility for what happened in 2008.

Ritz optimistic about trade agreement with European Union Beef and pork exports | Potential deal may hinge on increased access to Canada for European dairy producers STORIES BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Federal agr iculture minister G er r y Ritz remains optimistic about a trade deal between Canada and the European Union that could increase Canadian hormone-free beef and pork access to Europe.

Ritz travelled to European capitals on a trade mission last week and said there is agreement on both sides that a deal can be done.

In an Oct. 8 news conference from London, he said one of Canada’s “bottom lines” is that Canadian beef and

pork access be increased substantially.

“The bottom line for us is to be commercially viable,” said Ritz. “It has to be a number that excites our market potential.”

EU officials have previously said that an agricultural bottom line for their side is increased dairy access into Canada despite the supply management system.

However, recently arrived EU ambassador Marie-Anne Coninx would not be drawn into the discussion publicly when asked during a press briefing in Ottawa Oct. 8 whether that remains a European bottom line.

“No comment,” she said. “(But on the general trade talks), I know that very good progress has been made.”

Ritz also refused to be drawn into specifics about the state of negotiations.

“One thing that all ministers and industry that I’ve talked to have agreed on is we’ll let the negotiators do the negotiating,” he said.

“We’re not going to do it in the media.”

However, Ritz said both sides have bottom lines and not just in agriculture.

“There’s a number of fine-tuning

issues to be done,” he said.

“One thing I’ve always said is I would insist that non-tariff barriers, the phytosanitary stuff, also get captured in this so that once you’re past the tariffs, you don’t hit other stumbling blocks.”

Ritz said he would not speculate on how much emphasis European demands for more dairy access is receiving in negotiations, but he did offer a clue.

“They’re looking for reciprocity and access,” he said.

“We’re happy to discuss that, but at the end of the day, what we have to receive when it comes to beef and

pork is commercial viability.”

Ritz said Canadian food and produce exporters have many opportunities in the EU market, which is a market of more than 500 million consumers.

“Without question, this is a major market ripe with opportunities for Canada’s agriculture and agri-food industries,” he told reporters.

“While farmers and processors do their part at producing the highest quality products, it’s our job as government to ensure that those products get to as many markets as possible.”

Fresh off a trade mission to Europe, agriculture minister Gerry Ritz says his successful drive to end the CWB single desk significa nt l y b o o s t e d w h e at s a l e s t o Great Britain.

During an Oct. 8 visit to Warburton’s Ltd., Britain’s largest miller, Ritz said company officials said they were excited by their new ability to contract directly with Saskatchewan wheat producers.

This year, the company has contracted with Saskatchewan farmers for a new variety of wheat, Ritz said in an Oct. 9 callback news conference from London.

Warburton’s was a longtime customer of the CWB to access Canadian wheat.

“That great relationship (with the Canadian grain industry) has continued through the first year of marketing freedom, and Warburton’s say that while initially there were challenges, they would not go back to the old system,” said Ritz.

“In fact, Canadian wheat sales to the U.K. (United Kingdom) are up by 50 percent for the first years of the open market.”

He said the challenges that Warburton’s faced in the year after the single desk was abolished were related to learning a new way to access Canadian grain without necessarily calling CWB. “There were some challenges to begin with because they’d gotten used to the old way of doing things, but now that they have a year under their belt, they’re really excited by the potential, being able to contract acres such as they’ve done to make sure they get what they want,” Ritz said.

“They’re saying that the quality and consistency is still there.”

He said the company is now considering buying CPS wheat for its blend “as opposed to always being forced to buy No. 1 red, high protein, which they didn’t always need.”

Farmers, chefs tempt tastebuds Celebrating local food | Feast of Fields allows food producers to network with potential buyers

New Sask. health funding won’t address ongoing issues

BY AMY JO EHMAN

FREELANCE WRITER

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

C A L G A RY — G a i l No r t o n i s bathed in the scent of lavender and cumin rising from the grill on which dozens of savoury chicken wings are waiting for their date with a plate.

With each serving, she dishes up the story of the organic chicken, her catering company and the magazine she founded, City Palate, which is celebrating 20 years on the Calgary food scene.

The event is Feast of Fields, the annual culinary marriage of farmers and chefs, brought together by a matchmaker in the local chapter of Slow Food, an international movement supporting traditional and sustainable food production.

The farmers are all local, the chefs are their urban champions.

“I love it,” said Norton, owner of The Cookbook Co. Cooks. “We are given a producer to work with, and we do something creative and delicious to serve to the public. We all benefit.”

On a warm fall afternoon, there are about 250 people sampling local flavours from pulled pork to artisanal cheese, while mingling in the large garden of Calgary’s Rouge restaurant, the venue for Feast of Fields.

A Zen-like cone filled with bison tartare (a.k.a. raw meat) dusted with powdered chanterelle mushrooms draws the eye.

The meat was supplied by Olson’s High Country Bison, a Calgarybased conservation bison ranch with rangeland in all three prairie provinces. While the farmers manage the herd, general manager and chef Chad Gould-Hawke markets its grass-fed, hormone and antibioticfree meat to Calgary’s top restaurants.

“Events like this draw the best restaurants and it’s the best restaurants that will buy their products from local farmers instead of the large chain suppliers,” said G ouldHawke.

He’s teaming up with City Palate for an Oktoberfest event pairing locally-made sausages with locally brewed beer.

“People want to know where their food is coming from,” he said. “This is a movement that’s not going away.”

Since its inception, City Palate has been celebrating Alberta-produced food, the chefs who cook with it and the farmers who grow and raise it. To mark its anniversary, the magazine is holding 20 local food events over this year and next.

“It’s always been a voice for that kind of delicious and sustainable food,” said Kris Vester, a farmer and

This is a business opportunity for farmers. They pitch their product to a restaurant and once that relationship is started, it’s their opportunity to carry on, expand and grow.

GAIL NORTON THE COOKBOOK CO. COOKS

president of Slow Food Calgary.

“Education is really crucial. We won’t change the food system, no matter how good the marketing and how good the product, if people aren’t aware of the issues that play a role in the decision making process. Eaters, generally, are exerting pressure throughout the food system.”

Sampling ranges from goat’s cheese cheesecake and duck pate to chorizo and beet crostini.

Both the chorizo sausage and the garden ingredients, including beets, mustard greens and borage flowers, were supplied by Vester and his family-run Blue Mountain Biodynamic Farms, a mixed operation of livestock, poultry, cereals, pulses and vegetables near Carstairs, Alta.

He said the popularity of farmers markets and other forms of direct farm sales, such as the five egg cooperatives he supplies in Calgary, has grown in the past decade partly due to events like Feast of Fields.

Norton agrees.

“This is a business opportunity for farmers. They pitch their product to a restaurant and once that relationship is started, it’s their opportunity to carry on, expand and grow.”

Cheesecake made from goat’s milk was among the diverse food offerings.

Bison tartare, produced

by Market Restaurant, was eyecatching.

New funding for long-term care homes in Saskatchewan will provide for new equipment, and other onetime spending projects, but it will not address a key issue many care homes are facing.

Holly Hodgson, manager of Deer View Lodge in Wawota, Sask., said the new money, while a positive development, will not help with staffing shortages.

“The money (we receive) is a onetime fund. It’s something that we can put in place that will cost us money this year because it’s not happening next year,” she said.

“What I heard from the report that initiated the funding, people would like to have more baths (in the care homes),” Hodgson said.

“You might need another tub. You could do a one-time funding (for that). But you need people to help get them in and out of the tub.”

She said nutrition would also need continuous funding.

Still, Hodson was quick to praise the government action.

“Attention is being paid where it needs to be paid, and that’s in resident care,” she said. “Once they get the ideas, then we can (extend) thought on how to provide a sustainable future for resident care.”

She said educating staff on how to deal with residents with dementia will be a priority for the Sun Country health region.

Saskatchewan health minister Dustin Duncan announced recently that the province plans to spend $10 million to address overall quality of life concerns in long-term care homes.

The family of Eli Iron has no issues with the care at St. Joseph’s Hospital and Care Centre in Ile-a-la-Crosse, Sask., considering the available staff.

“Towards the end, he did the full circle going back to a child. He needed to wear diapers. That was Level 4.

He couldn’t walk around,” said his daughter, Adele Iron.

Her father had been diagnosed with dementia and required help with meals and bathing.

Eli stayed at the hospital for six years before passing away in 2012.

Adele considered the level of care to be good, but she added there were only two to three staff members for 12 to 15 residents.

“Everything seemed to go on time, but I would say they were short staffed because there were a lot of patients that had required a lot of care.”

Staffing is one of the issues that health region chief executive officers from across Saskatchewan recently included in a report that was released Oct. 1.

E

un Jung left behind her family, culture and food for a new adventure in Canada when she married Alan, a Canadian who was teaching English in South Korea.

It was a hard adjustment and cooking was difficult because there weren’t a lot of Korean ingredients available.

But as Canada became more multicultural, Asian grocery stores and ethnic restaurants increased in middle to larger sized communities.

Food gives comfort and for Eun Jung, it is an important connection to her roots. We often talk about how much she loves Canada but misses Korea.

To help ease her homesickness, the mother and educational assistant prepares and eats traditional Korean food. She always brings beef bulgogi to our gatherings.

Our cooking adventure focused on the main dish of Korea, kimchi. Koreans eat up to 18 kilograms of kimchi per person each year. Kimchi is loaded with vitamins, fibre and if fermented, boasts the same healthy bacteria as yogurt and sauerkraut.

It is a hot, spicy and sometimes sour tasting side dish that can be served fresh or fermented. Recipes vary from region to region, differ depending on the season and are served at every meal.

Kimchi is also often used as the starting ingredient to make other dishes like soup, stew or stir fries. Eun Jung suggested making fresh kimchi and enjoying it for a few weeks.

Making traditional ferment kimchi is a lot of work and takes weeks and months of fermenting.

Eun Jung stressed that Koreans cook with their hands, but when adding the hot pepper flakes/powder, make sure to use a spoon or gloves to avoid burning.

Korean cuisine has a few key ingredients, including garlic, green onions, Chinese cabbage and cucumber.

Korean sun-dried red pepper flakes are more coarsely ground than the red pepper flakes found in Canadian grocery stores. They are used to give kimchi its spicy flavour.

You will probably have to go to an Asian grocery store to find this ingredient. In a pinch, you could try a mixture of red pepper flakes and cayenne powder. This will give you the heat but not the same earthy, slightly sweet flavour as the Korean pepper flakes.

Roasted sesame seeds add another layer of flavour and are often used to garnish dishes. I also learned that there are many types of soy sauce.

Korean soy sauce has a more yeasty smell and flavour. You can substitute a naturally brewed soy sauce but if you are at the Asian grocery store, pick up a Korean one to try.

While there, pick up ginseng root, dried jujubes (red coloured Korean dates) and short grain sticky rice (preferred by Koreans) to make the ginseng chicken soup. There are many more ingredients to explore but this was enough for our first batch of Korean recipes.

root, jujubes and three or four cloves of garlic.

Place it in an eathware pot, if available.

Pour water into the pot about halfway up the chicken. Add remaining garlic and ginseng. Bring to a boil it over high heat for 20 minutes. When it starts boiling, skim off foam and fat that rise to the surface, then pour in more water and boil it over medium heat for 40 to 50 minutes.

It is cooked when the chicken pulls away easily using chopsticks.

Add salt and pepper. Garnish with green onion serve with kimchi.

Wash and rinse chicken in cold running water.

Soak sweet rice for one hour, then drain.

ON THE FARM | FAMILY BUSINESS

Three families join forces to reap benefits Sharing costs allows the Weichels to invest in new machinery, technology

BY CHRISTALEE FROESE FREELANCE WRITER

KENDAL, Sask. — The Weichel family of southeastern Saskatchewan has mastered the art of operating three farms as if they are one.

For 85-year-old Mike Weichel and his wife, Babe, 80, the secret lies in the history of the farm, which was founded by Mike’s father in 1928.

“I’m from the old school and I always say, ‘land is land and it should stay in the family,’ ” said Mike.

Fortunately, both of their children chose farming as careers. The eldest son, Harvey, took up farming after high school, creating a separate farmyard and home a kilometre from his parents’ mixed farm.

The youngest son, Barry, eventually took over his parents’ farmyard, working alongside his father and brother to build up their cattle herds and land base.

The Weichel brothers maintain that some of the good chemistry is based on genetics, considering that Harvey and Barry married sisters, Patty and Kathy Haines.

Kathy said the ability to work together like one big happy family comes, in part, from the fact that she

The three generations of Weichels — Barry, left, Michael, Harvey and Mike Sr. — share equipment and labour on their farms.

ABOVE: Sisters Patty, left, and Kathy Weichel handle the farm’s bookkeeping and take pride in their gardens. | CHRISTALEE FROESE PHOTOS and her sister raised their children just down the road from each other.

“I feel like Harvey and Patty’s kids are mine,” said Kathy, who has two children of her own. “Even though they call me Auntie Kathy, I really have four kids instead of two.”

Operating as one big family, both in business and in play, has allowed the Weichels to reap benefits on many levels, from sharing input costs to dividing the labour.

“Harvey does the spraying, Barry hauls the grain, Mike still drives the combine and about eight to 10 times a year, we all sit around the table to

figure out how things are going to work,” said Kathy.

The next generation is now involved in the operation, with Kathy and Barry’s son, Michael, taking over the home quarter. Barry and Kathy established another farmyard and built a new house just metres from their son’s home.

The bookkeeping isn’t as easy to do as it was when Mike was the sole operator, but Kathy and Patty spend hours together going through financial statements and dividing the expenses and the profits.

“If we get down to the point where a

CELEBRATE SASKATCHEWAN LIBRARY WEEK OCTOBER 15–22, 2013

few hundred bucks is outstanding, we just split the difference and call it even,” said Patty.

Michael, 22, said he is proud to follow in his father’s, uncle’s and grandfather’s footsteps.

“It’s a crazy thing for me to think back to the time that Grandpa had the farm and made a living on just half a section and now we have quarters all over the place.”

With 4,200 acres of cultivated land part of the Weichel land base, Mike Sr. said the system of operating has changed dramatically. He remembers plowing the land with a team of horses but now regularly drives a combine with a GPS system that allows him to take his hands off the wheel.

“I remember the days when we’d plow with a team of eight horses and we’d start plowing when there was still snow on the ground so we could get it all worked in time for seeding,” he said.

The days of horses and plows presented lots of physical labour, but Mike Sr. said input prices were extremely low, which helped with the bottom line. In today’s agricultural climate of high input costs, the Weichels agree that they are fortunate to farm together because it has

allowed them to invest in new machinery and technology.

“I joke that we have to get along because if we had split up a long time ago, the new machinery we have now would be old,” said Harvey.

The Weichels got out of cattle three years ago because they felt the expanding grain operation was enough work.

Barry and Kathy’s daughter, Sara, and her husband, Nevin Czerwonka, bought the cattle and rent the Weichel pastureland.

The Weichels maintain three farmyards, which feature ponds, fountains, trees, flowers, gardens, decorative lampposts, pathways and lawns.

The yards are the Weichels’ pride and joy, and maintenance is an important part of the their operation.

“We put a lot of effort into it and when you do that, you get a lot of joy and beauty out of it,” said Patty, who has pickled 90 quarts of cucumbers and processed 30 quarts of tomatoes this year.

With 100 dozen annuals, 600 trees, numerous hedges and an acre of garden space between the three yards, the Weichels consider landscaping one of their favourite hobbies.

“We take pride in all we do,” said Patty.

FINE PICKINGS

Wills can be challenged A PRAIRIE PRACTICE

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

T

here have been a lot of comments over the case of Robert McCorkell, a Canadian whose will left a coin collection to a neoNazi group in the United States. It was met with a legal challenge in Canada.

While most agree that it would be an unfortunate outcome, many were surprised and outraged that a court could possibly infringe on what people do in their wills.

However, legislation places many obligations on testators when making a will.

So for those of us who are not giving to neo-Nazi groups in our wills, what other obligations does a testator have when drafting a will?

Many clients who come to my office are surprised to learn about these legal obligations. British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba all have some sort of law governing a testator’s obligations: the Wills Variation Act in B.C., the Wills Act in Alberta and the Dependants’ Relief Act in Saskatchewan and Manitoba.

All of the provinces except Manitoba have since adopted the test from the Supreme Court of Canada’s decision in Tataryn v. Tataryn Estate.

In those three provinces, testators are required to leave an amount that is “adequate, just and equitable” to their dependants, defined as their spouses, minor children and adult children who are dependent on them because of a disability. This applies to all adult children in British Columbia.

If this doesn’t happen, the people who are entitled to an adequate, just and equitable share in the estate can apply to the court to alter the will to include them.

In Manitoba, dependants are spouses, children younger than 18, children older than 18 who are dependent on the testator because of illness or disability, parents or grandparents who are dependent on the testator, grandchildren who are dependent on the testator and former spouses who were receiving maintenance at the time of the testator’s death.

The court may make a “reasonable” provision for them based on the size of the estate, their age, their level of need and other factors.

Courts have determined that what is “adequate, just and equitable” or “reasonable” varies from case to case.

There is also no specific amount or gift that is “adequate, just and equitable” or “reasonable” for any one case.

Many options might be suitable.

Courts will be hesitant to vary a will as long as testators provide for their dependents in a way that can be seen as “adequate, just and equitable.”

Most people provide for their dependents, but many do not realize that a spouse, including a common-law spouse, qualifies as a dependent.

A woman in Saskatchewan who has been living with her partner for more than two years may not realize that she qualifies as a dependant and ought to be provided for.

If her partner does not provide for her in the will, she has the legal right to apply to the court to vary the will to do so.

COMMUNITY PRIORITIES | REPORT CARD

Report evaluates health, vitality of communities Vital Signs analysis | Community Foundations of Canada board measures success and improvement in several areas

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Oct. 1 was report card day for 25 communities across Canada.

They are the ones that released analyses called Vital Signs, which measure various aspects of community health from literacy to employment to volunteerism.

Among the 25 were five cities and regions in Alberta and five in British Columbia.

“The reason it’s valuable is because it’s a report card on the wellness of our community,” said Phil North, a

Lethbridge resident who sat on the Community Foundations of Canada board.

“It talks about things such as poverty, youth, health, recreation, culture, volunteerism, any topics that each community foundation wants to do.”

North spoke at the official release of the Vital Signs report from the Community Foundation of Lethbridge and Southwestern Alberta. Medicine Hat and southwestern Alberta, northwestern Alberta, Edmonton and Calgary released their reports on the same day, as did north, central

and south Okanagan, Abbotsford and Victoria.

“Initially you can see what areas we are doing well in, by comparison to others, and it can also help us set priorities for action going forward,” North said.

“And if we do it on a periodic basis … you can note your improvement.”

The Lethbridge foundation has holdings of $15 million and distributes $400,000 annually to charities in the region, said president Dianne King.

She said Vital Signs was initiated in her region to ensure grants were dis-

tributed where they would meet the greatest need.

Community Foundations of Canada is one of the country’s largest grant makers, contributing more than $154 million annually to charities. There are more than 180 foundations, which together hold more than $3.1 billion in assets.

Foundations choose which of 12 areas to explore when undertaking a Vital Signs project.

The Lethbridge region chose to analyze the following topics: • Gap between rich and poor • Arts, culture and recreation

• Health • Belonging and leadership • Getting started, which relates to literacy and immigrant adjustment to new communities.

The other seven areas in the Vital Signs repertoire are housing, economy, learning, work, getting around, environment and safety and security.

Rita Berte, a nurse who chairs the Lethbridge region’s Vital Signs committee, said these topics might be explored in future reports.

She said local, regional, provincial and federal data were used to compile the report, which took two years to complete.

Berte said she was particularly interested in statistics showing food bank use on a national basis continues to increase.

“Why is that?” she said. “A lot of it is certainly around minimum wage and the cost of housing and that type of thing. But on the other hand, we’ve got hunger and we’ve got obesity. All of these indicators kind of interact with one another.”

The Lethbridge and southwestern region has numerous food banks, a food box program that provides fresh food to needy families at a reduced rate, school lunch programs and meals on wheels.

VITAL SIGNS REPORTS Committees organized by community foundations choose which of 12 sectors to explore in their reports. Not every region selects and publishes the same type of data. Here are some of the Alberta findings.

Lethbridge, southwestern Alberta • 15 percent have income of less than $30,000.

• 1,802 immigrants came to region in 2011-12.

• There were 186,500 people (2010 statistics).

• Livestock and poultry were valued at $822 million.

• 94.7 percent say they are satisfied or very satisfied with overall life.

HOME COOKING | NUTRITIOUS MEALS

Food preparation: back to the basics in five easy steps TEAM RESOURCES

SARAH GALVIN, BSHEc

C

onvenience food from Cheez Whiz, Tang and KFC to cake mixes, TV dinners and Butterball turkeys came into fashion in the 1950s.

The kitchen transformed into the heart of the home from a place just to prepare food. New appliances like microwaves saved time and became more fashionable. Stoves were coloured, refrigerators became streamlined and electric coffee percolators and electric stand mixers were introduced.

Two generations later, the art of the home cooked meal has dwindled. We are now seeking ways to teach people how to make a simple meal.

Cooking classes and cookbooks abound on the basics, and anxious parents worry about children going off to university.

The truth is we no longer know how to make an entire meal without packaged, prepared or take-out food.

I was chatting with a young woman who chose to be a stay-at-home mom and provide a healthy diet for her child and husband. I am surprised how heavily her working friends rely upon prepared purchased food and takeout.

Habitually buying prepared food for meals will not provide basic nutritional requirements. If you do not take the time to prepare delicious and healthy meals at home, it is less likely your children will acquire these skills.

Perfection is impossible but aim to follow this plan 80 percent of the time.

Before you line up at the grocery store, check your shopping cart.

These five easy steps will help you decide if it is filled with the food that will nourish your family.

Buy whole food: That includes fresh, frozen or canned vegetables and fruits but not food that has already been put through a recipe such as frozen buttered corn or stuffed chicken breast. It includes flour, dried fruits and nuts, cornmeal, unprocessed cereals and meat, poultry and fish that are not marinated or prepared.

It means purchasing milk, cheese and yogurt. This allows you complete freedom to make it the way your family likes it.

Growing some of your own food is a good way to ensure a supply of whole food and teach children about food. It only takes a small space or patio to produce food like lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, rhubarb and herbs.

Read labels: Some prepared food is necessary. Buy the best bread you can afford. Whole grains are best and simple white bread is less healthy.

Reduce consumption of sugar, sodium, unhealthy fats and other ingredients that you cannot pronounce. Don’t be fooled by creative food labelling.

Manufacturers are becoming crafty in making additives sound

like natural food. Take note of the fat and sugar content and calories per serving.

As you read labels, you will become familiar with daily nutritional requirements.

Learn cooking skills: Know the difference between boiling, steaming, sauteing, grilling, baking and roasting. Avoid deep frying, breading and candying.

In other words, learn how to cook.

Classes are the obvious answer but you can also learn to cook just by cooking.

Follow recipes from trusted sources such as recommended cookbooks, television programs and newspapers. Find a friend who loves to cook and ask for advice.

Be sure your children are enrolled in home economics classes in school. Find community sponsored cooking classes.

Make time and save time: Busy schedules rule and basic nutrition loses. Meal time is also a good time for personal connections.

Make a weekly menu plan. When you cook, make enough for the freezer and you will have a few effortless meals.

Use leftovers in another recipe. If you roast a chicken or other cut of meat and do not eat it all, plan other ways to use the food such as in school lunches.

Learn to use a crock pot, pressure cooker and microwave for easier meals. Plan the main dish and sides.

Plan menus for a month to save time and money.

It isn’t about the money: Food is relatively cheap. It’s the preparation that adds expense. There are lots of promotions for eating out or buying packaged food cheaply but don’t buy in.

It is always less expensive to prepare food from scratch at home.

FARM LIVING FIRST NOVEL | SASKATCHEWAN SETTING

Author can relate to challenges faced by female doctor Grain farm operator says some 100-year-old perceptions about women still exist

BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Anne Lazurko gives a reading at the launch of her book, Dollybird. The book is set in southern Saskatchewan in 1906. | KAREN MORRISON PHOTO

Anne Lazurko grew up in a large family of girls who believed they could do anything they wanted in life.

The Weyburn, Sask., writer soon separated fact from fiction but used that experience in her first novel, Dollybird.

The story follows the trials, tribulations and triumphs of a young, pregnant, unwed Moira.

Banished from her East Coast home to Saskatchewan in 1906, the destitute aspiring doctor becomes a dollybird or housekeeper for an equally troubled widower, single parent and homesteader named Dillan.

“My sisters are not afraid to take

FARM LIVING things on. Moira is a bit of that.”

Lazurko, a farm journalist, freelance writer, playwright, poet and former dairy farmer, operates a 2,000 acre grain farm with her husband.

Despite her work history and the century that has passed since the black and white world that Moira inhabited, perceptions about women persist, she said.

“I’m involved in the farm, run the equipment, but still get the phone call asking ‘can I talk to your husband,’ ” she said.

The novel’s dollybird gradually wins acceptance from the community despite suspicions about her.

“The nature of that term has different connotations,” said Lazurko.

“They needed these women to help them on farms but still had the reputation, questions about who and what they were.”

She began work on the story after a visit to a cemetery, which sparked a desire to learn about how they died.

“I was astonished how many young people were there,” she said of the headstones from the homesteading years.

Lazurko, a mother of four, also grew up in a small prairie town hearing the elders’ stories from past days.

“A lot stays with you,” she said.

Lazurko ping-ponged between the male and female characters’ points of view for a broader understanding.

“It helps to explain each other’s story,” she said. “It’s about real people experiencing real life and real emotions. People really had to survive this shit.”

Their burden is somewhat lightened by genuine acts of kindness in the prairie community, said Lazurko.

Writing process Writing small market regional books can be daunting, said Lazurko, who is targeting historical and agricultural societies and farm communities for her book, published by Coteau Books in Regina.

“Beginning was not that hard, keeping at it was hard,” she said of the eight-year-long process to write and publish the tale.

Nik Burton, Coteau’s managing editor, said the story, which has

appeal for “history aficionados,” will also benefit from Lazurko’s presence in social media and farm journalism circles.

Burton said the decision to choose this book as one of the 12 titles published annually reflects the company’s desire to support first-time authors and the Prairies.

“It was very well written and very accomplished for a first time author,” he said. “We try to bring new voices to the attention of the public.”

Carla Braidek of Big River, Sask., was drawn to read the book because she grew up near where it is set and was curious about the title.

She said the book packs a lot of detail about life in those early days, particularly for women, something not readily seen in other accounts of the period.

Women were put in their place and confined in their roles, said Braidek.

“Moira was determined not to fall into that,” she said. “It took a strong willed woman to break out of that.”

Lazurko’s next book will draw its inspiration from her father’s experience as a Dutch soldier in Indonesia.

New cancer treatment gets support from gov’ts

BY KRISTEN MCEWEN SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Researchers at the University of Saskatchewan have discovered a way to generate antibodies for new and less toxic leukemia and breast cancer treatments.

The antibodies are created in test tubes at the university, which lowers production costs and makes them more effective. Antibodies are typically created using animal immune systems.

Western Economic Diversification Canada and the Saskatchewan government are providing $1.7 million for the tools to create these antibodies.

The Breast Cancer Foundation, the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and the Jean Murray Trust Fund are also providing a combined contribution of $652,860.

While the new treatments will help cancer patients, they will also benefit Canada’s economy. The global market for antibody therapies is $26 million.

WHAT IS LEUKEMIA? Leukemia is a cancer of the blood or bone marrow, which produce blood cells. The DNA of immature blood cells, mainly white cells, becomes damaged. The abnormality causes the blood cells to grow and divide chaotically.

Eventually, bad cells crowd out the good cells.

TORONTO — Listeria is a nasty, dangerous bug that can be found almost everywhere. “(It) is a very dangerous pathogen,” said food safety microbiologist Dale Grinstead of Sealed Air Corp., a Wisconsin based company that makes protective packaging materials for food, medical equipment and other

specialized systems.

“It is ubiquitous. This organism is everywhere.”

Grinstead told a Canadian Meat Council sponsored food safety symposium in Toronto Oct. 2-4 that listeriosis is not as common as salmonella or campylobacter infections, but it can kill up to a quarter of stricken patients.

It is most dangerous to immunosuppressed, young and elderly peo-

ple as well as pregnant women, in whom it can cause miscarriage.

It can get past the immune system and travel to the brain and heart and lead to septicemia, encephalitis and endocarditis.

It is also tough and can handle cold and heat, high salt concentrations and rigorous cleaning regimes. Listeria can survive at 1 C. “Refrigeration is ordinarily a very effective tool in our food safety set of

things we can do,” he said. “The vast majority of pathogens can’t grow at refrigerated temperatures.”

More than 20 species of mammals and 20 species of birds can shed the bacteria in their feces. As well, some people may be asymptomatic carriers and don’t realize they are passing it on.

The disease can be present in raw milk and food made from raw milk. It can also live in food processing plants and contaminate a variety of processed meat.

A Perdue University study of grocery stores found it in many places, including cold rooms, drains, floors, cleaning tools and food contact surfaces.

“In a number of cases, these strains were persistent,” Grinstead said.

Floor drains capture a lot of bacteria, but workers may often skip cleaning the drain regularly because no one likes to do it. Their cleaning tools can also become a source of contamination.

Listeria protects itself by creating a biofilm, which is a kind of slime that acts like armour. The biofilm will grow on meat slicers, tools, gloves, packing equipment and motors.

“These biofilms are throughout our operations,” he said.

Rigorous cleaning will remove biofilm in a series of steps that Grinstead calls TACT: time (cleaning longer), action (scrubbing harder), chemical concentrations and temperature.

Sanitizers are often used, but they may not work because they do not get past the biofilm.

“Sanitizers are not useless, but they cannot do the job alone,” Grinstead said. “Sometimes the most effective cleaning chemical is elbow grease.…

A little bit of scrubbing is an effective cleaner.”

He said a neutral cleaner such as dish detergent or shampoo with longer cleaning action also removes biofilm.

Some establishments use highpressure sprays, but it is easy to create aerosols and move micro-organisms where they are not wanted.

Potent chemicals are available for cleaning, but it is important to follow manufacturer’s instructions because more is not better. Don’t bump it up to a 10 percent mix if a one percent solution is recommended,.

Higher temperature will help clean better, but too much hot can cook the biofilm to the surface.

Who is at risk?

• Older adults • Pregnant women • People with weakened immune systems.

• Organ transplant patients who take anti-rejection drugs • People with diseases such as HIV/AIDS or other autoimmune diseases, cancer, end-stage renal disease, liver disease, alcoholism and diabetes.

If there is a chance you may have been exposed to listeria: • Consult a doctor immediately if you are extremely ill with fever or stiff neck.

• Antibiotics given promptly can cure the infection and, in pregnant women, prevent infection of the fetus.

How to prevent infection: • Do not drink raw (unpasteurized) milk and do not eat food that contains unpasteurized milk.

• Wash hands, knives, countertops and cutting boards after handling and preparing uncooked foods.

• Rinse raw produce thoroughly under running tap water before eating.

• Keep uncooked meats, poultry and seafood separate from vegetables, fruit, cooked food and ready-to-eat food.

• Thoroughly cook raw food from animal sources, such as meat, poultry or seafood, to a safe internal temperature.

• Wash hands, knives, countertops and cutting boards after handling and preparing uncooked food.

• Consume perishable and ready-to-eat food as soon as possible.

• People in higher risk groups should heat hot dogs, cold cuts and deli meat before eating them.

WILD BOAR | CONTROL MEASURES

Albertans warned about wild boar destruction Legislation required | Australian pig hunter says if hunting isn’t encouraged, the animals are going to destroy farms SAY AHHHHH …

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

Wondering if the boar is male or female? Tusks in males are longer and curved. Males have extra tusk on the upper lip, used for sharpening the lower tusk. These weapons come in handy when taking on the competition during mating season.

FILE PHOTO

Scott Leggett holds one of the largest wild boars he’s ever killed. It weighed in at nearly 200 kilograms. | SCOTT LEGGETT PHOTO said. “Pigs are going to destroy entire farms.”

Wild boar are considered to be domestic animals in Alberta when they are farmed and pests when they escape.

Some counties and municipalities have bounties on them to encourage hunting, but there are no uniform rules and the animals have proved

difficult to shoot.

In Australia, wild boar are partially contained by hunters like Leggett, who have special licences to kill and dress wild boar and sell them to local abattoirs.

The meat is then sold to Japan and Germany. Leggett said it’s possible to earn $5,000 to $20,000 a day killing wild boar and selling the meat.

MOVING AT THE SPEED OF TECHNOLOGY 1-800-265-7403 www.hylandseeds.com

Most hunters use specially trained dogs to corner and capture the wild boar. Leggett kills animals with a knife through the heart so as not to scare away other wild boar in the area.

“Pigs in Australia were introduced and have adapted to harsh climate and are large and dangerous,” he said. “They’re a lot bigger and meaner than the pigs here.”

However, he said they will grow larger and be harder to stop.

“If it was me, I would do whatever I could to eradicate them.”

Phil Merrill, Alberta’s rat and pest specialist, said the province has drafted new fencing rules for wild boar farmers in Alberta to help reduce the number of animals that escape from farms.

The regulations are winding their way through government, and he hopes they will be passed soon.

“It should have been through a long time ago,” said Merrill.

The proposed regulations would require tougher fencing standards for new operators but give existing operators five years to meet the new standards.

Merrill said the province can develop a control program once the fencing standards are implemented.

Lyle Marianchuk, head of Alberta Agriculture’s inspection and investigation branch, said a date has been set to discuss the “containment standards,” but he is not allowed to say when the discussions would take place.

Earl Hagman, who owns Hog Wild Specialties, a wild boar farm in Mayerthorpe, Alta., said government staff asked him about fencing regulations, but he hasn’t been told when new regulations will be announced.

“Hopefully they’re not going to come up with something that’s going to cost a million dollars and put me out of business,” said Hagman.

An Australian pig hunter warns that unless Albertans take a tough stand on feral wild boar, they will become a dangerous plague, destroying crops and livestock.

Scott Leggett said he has seen “mobs of pigs” destroy a farm’s crops in Australia in a matter of days.

“The pigs go in and eat the seed, the new sprouts. They can destroy an entire paddock of new crop,” said Leggett, who started hunting the feral wild boar in the Blue Mountains of New South Wales when he was 17.

“It costs billions of dollars in Australia every year,” said Leggett, who now lives in Calgary and works on the oil rigs with a temporary visa.

He said the problem is so bad in Australia that farmers will pay hunters to shoot the pests, which were introduced to the country years ago.

Some groups can contain 200 to 300 feral pigs roaming the rural areas.

Leggett said the problem will continue to grow in Alberta unless the province changes its legislation to allow open season on wild boar that have escaped from farms.

“If they don’t have them and have an open season on feral pigs it is going to be as bad as Australia,” he

KNIVES | OUTDOORS

Ontario RTAK II knife strong, versatile, low cost OUTDOOR PURSUITS

KIM QUINTIN

T

he Ontario RTAK II is a large knife manufactured in the United States.

The visually impressive 17 inch tool was originally made from 1095 high carbon steel with a 10 x two inch blade that is 3/16 inch thick along the spine and weighs 1.4 pounds. Later

versions use 5160 high carbon steel.

This large knife style is often used as a wilderness tool for light-duty wood processing and erecting primitive shelters, effectively replacing the traditional hatchet and providing knife-oriented work options for the user.

The Ontario RTAK II is well suited for controlling farmyard overgrowth and as part of a vehicle’s get-home kit when travelling in remote areas.

The handle has a full tang for superior strength and has removable canvas scales for cleaning after hard use. The rear of the handle of the Ontario RTAK II can be gripped for maximum chopping power and has a lanyard hole for optional safety. A

thick textured coating protects the high carbon steel. The drop point design makes for a reasonably strong blade tip good for batoning through wood.

The Ontario RTAK II is not without shortcomings. The handle swell is too thick to be comfortable for long periods. The blade is flat ground from spine to edge, which sacrifices edge durability for batoning and chopping.

The out-of-the-box edge would tear but not slice paper. The knife rattles in the plastic liner of the sheath.

In tests, the knife proved it had excellent chopping power on par with a hatchet. Using the stock edge, the Ontario RTAK II easily batoned

through wood. The spine showed no signs of baton damage, even near the tip. The coating was resilient to scraping but did wear.

The edge chipped only after contact with a knot in the wood, which was not surprising given the narrow blade profile.

Fortunately, the knife sharpened easily with a strong convex edge that raised the chopping and cutting performance of the knife to a level well above stock.

The Ontario RTAK II would make a fine addition to any knife collection.

Although there are superior products on the market, one cannot go wrong with the strong performance of this tool compared to its moderate cost.

FRUIT RESEARCH | HEALTH BENEFITS

Nutrient rich fruits tapped to improve diets Benefit at-risk populations | Researchers hope to develop fruit products that could be added to food staples

BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Saskatchewan fruit growers may have something new to cheer about.

Research at the University of Saskatchewan is shining a light on the benefits of buffaloberry, chokecherry and sea buckthorn.

All three native prairie fruit plants flourish throughout the province and are high in nutrition.

As a result, the university is developing a new project to potentially use these high-value ingredients to improve food for at-risk communities in northern Saskatchewan, Canada and around the world.

The Canadian Journal of Plant Science recently released findings that identified the benefits of these fruits.

“These were three possible candidates, or dark horses, that people had not spent a lot of time on when looking at … chemical composition, and I guess more importantly their commercial potential,” said study coauthor Nicholas Low of the university’s food and bioproduct sciences department.

This is good news for Saskatchewan fruit growers because it further supports the development of these fruits for commercial food markets.

Buffaloberries, left, sea buckthorn and chokecherries are packed with vitamins and anti-oxidants. | FILE PHOTOS “There is increasing interest in the commercial development of these fruits since historically it has been thought they may provide nutritional and health benefits,” said Rick Green at POS Bio-Sciences in Saskatoon, who also helped write the study.

The study found that buffaloberry is high in ascorbic acid (vitamin C) at a level greater than four times that reported for oranges.

“There are populations around the world, and certainly even in Saskatchewan, where an orange is an expensive item or a luxury item, or a not available item,” Low said. “So now here you have a native berry where you can get all the vitamin C that you need by consuming much less of a quantity of the material.”

Chokecherries contain markedly

higher levels of anti-oxidants than the popular cranberry.

Sea buckthorn has high levels of lipids for a fruit, though the level varies with location and variety.

Potential uses for these native fruits include: • Producing nutrient-rich ingredients for at-risk populations by blending them with Saskatchewan cereals and pulses.

• Supplementing the food value of traditionally prepared food.

• Serving as healthy snacks.

Application for funding for a major project to investigate and further develop these nutrient-rich ingredients was to be submitted to the Global Institute for Food Security earlier this month.

The project will look at formulating nutrient-rich foods for at-risk popu-

lations such as infants, young children, teenagers and the aged.

“We in Saskatchewan are sitting on a great deal of commodities that are here that are rich in nutrients: cereals, legumes, fruits,” Low said.

“The idea was a group of us (scientists) tried to get together to see, can we formulate food products that

would be rich in nutrients that can be used or sent to or delivered to populations that are at risk both within the province and outside the province that would contain materials that people would normally consume and can be used as an ingredient in cooking or as a whole food or whatever.”

He said the potential is there for these fruits to follow in the footsteps of the common apple, which is mass produced and taken for granted but that historically started out commercially small.

“There’s all kinds of managed groves of apples,” he said.

“Billions of tons of these are produced every year and look at all the variety of products that come out of it. That’s a possibility for these fruits as well.”

RESEARCH | TROPICAL GRASS

Grass roots feed livestock, curb climate change Efficient nitrogen use | Brachiaria grass can reduce nitrification, leaving more nitrogen for plants to use

BY MARGARET EVANS FREELANCE WRITER

LINDELL BEACH, B.C. — The power of grass roots has taken on a promising dimension.

Research has provided evidence that a chemical mechanism in the roots of tropical grasses such as brachiaria can reduce the conversion of nitrogen fertilizer to nitrous oxide, which is one of the most potent of greenhouse gases.

The mechanism is biological nitrification inhibition (BNI), and brachiaria is on track to become a modern day super grass.

“The biological nitrification inhibitors released by brachiaria roots markedly reduce the process of nitrification in soil (conversion of ammonium to nitrate) mediated by nitrifying micro-organisms,” said Michael Peters, research leader on forages at the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) in Colombia.

“The decrease in formation of nitrate reduces the risk for nitrate pollution (surface and ground water

Livestock near Puerto López, in Colombia’s eastern plains region pause while grazing on brachiaria grass | J.W. MILES, CIAT PHOTO systems) and nitrous oxide (N2O) emission to the atmosphere. Thus, nitrogen remains available for the plant in the form of ammonium, and nitrogen use efficiency is improved by 30 percent to 50 percent. (This) means you need less nitrogen application for the same yield as we were able to show with (corn) after pasture in a forage-crop rotation. This has potential economic benefits alongside reducing nitrate leaching into the ground water and nitrous oxide

into the atmosphere.”

There are 100 species of brachiaria grasses, also known as signal grass. It is native to tropical and subtropical regions, especially in sub-Saharan Africa.

Seeds may have been unintentionally transported to Central and South America centuries ago in bedding on slave ships, where it rapidly established and spread.

The plant can grow a metre high, tolerate dry conditions and intense

light and grow in infertile and acidic soils. It is the most important forage grass in the tropics, and Brazil has become the leading user and producer of brachiaria.

Soil microbiologist Rosemary Sylvester-Bradley of CIAT first noticed BNI’s beneficial mechanism 15 years ago, and a research article was published in 1988.

Since then, CIAT scientists have worked with the Japan International Research Center for Agricultural Sciences (JIRCAS) to continue the research. Their latest research was presented this year at the International Grasslands Congress.

Nitrogen fertilizer’s impact is significant.

Peters said about 150 million tonnes of nitrogen fertilizer are applied annually to agricultural systems, of which only 30 percent is recovered and moved into the food system. The lost fertilizer amounts to an annual economic loss of $90 billion US. Livestock production provides a livelihood for a billion people but contributes half of agriculture’s greenhouse gas emissions.

Brazil has already converted 27 million acres of grassland to intensive corn and soybean production, and another 100 million acres could be converted to crops.

However, the CIAT scientists said grassland pastures are the biggest resource for agricultural land. Out of a global total of 12 billion acres, grasslands account for eight billion acres.

Rather than practice monoculture production, they encourage the use of brachiaria grasses in mixed croplivestock systems.

“Over the last 15 years, the BNI process has been characterized, evaluation methods have been developed and a major biological nitrification inhibitor (brachialactone) responsible for BNI has been identified and patented by JIRCAS and its partners,” said Peters.

“What is new is to apply the concept in different agricultural sys-

tems where forage grasses such as brachiaria are integrated into croplivestock production to reduce nitrogen fertilizer applications for the benefit of agriculture and the environment.”

A corn crop that followed brachiaria grasses in a mixed crop-livestock system produced yields that needed only half the amount of nitrogen fertilizer because more nitrogen was retained in the soil.

As well, there were less nitrate leaching and nitrous oxide emissions. CIAT scientists estimated that the BNI boosted nitrogen efficiency by a factor of 3.8.

The BNI mechanism also exists in temperate grass species and research has already begun on grass hybrids.

“AgResearch in New Zealand is conducting research on this topic using different temperate grasses compared with one brachiaria cultivar,” Peters said.

“But for the tropics, different germplasm accessions of brachiaria humidicola showed greater potential for BNI. It is possible to develop hybrids of temperate grasses by applying the concept of BNI.” Other benefits Farmers are using hybrids of brachiaria humidicola in Colombia and Nicaragua, where the grass is monitored for productivity and quality.

Previous hybrids have resulted in better milk and meat production than native savannah-type grasses, and research continues to evaluate the benefits.

Peters said that Brachiaria grasses are grown throughout the tropics and subtropics of the Americas, Australia, Asia, and Africa.

“B. humidicola is particularly adapted to low fertility soils and waterlogged conditions,” he said.

“Brachiaria is grown on more than 250 million acres in Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) countries alone and is likely the crop with the widest extension in LAC.” Not only do the grass roots apply their BNI mechanism for efficient nitrogen use, but additional research has shown that deep rooted brachiaria grasses are enormous carbon sinks. The plants capture large amounts of atmospheric carbon on a scale comparable to tropical forests, which further mitigates global warming.

The BNI research is part of a larger initiative called Livestock Plus, which falls under the umbrella network of a global partnership known as the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research. The key goal is to deliver major benefits for the poor and the environment through innovative research on forage grasses and crops.

“The topic of BNI received wide attention at the grassland congress, not only from the scientific community but local and international media,” said Peters.

EU SUBSIDIES | FRENCH PLAN

France to help livestock farms

COURNON D’AUVERGNE, France (Reuters) — France will shift $1.4 billion of mainly European Union subsidies toward livestock farmers struggling with low incomes and away from better off crop growers, says president Francois Hollande.

Hollande unveiled how the French government plans to use a renegotiation of the EU’s Common Agriculture Policy to favour livestock farmers, although rejigging the bloc’s complex payments has proved a headache.

“My first priority is livestock farming,” Hollande said at a livestock show in central France, where he was met with jeers and heckled repeatedly. “To let breeders in the situation they are in today, with lower income than the rest of the profession, higher risks, heavy constraints, is to weaken French agriculture as a whole.”

Hollande said France would use a subsidy bonus on the first 128 acres of each farm, which is seen favouring smaller livestock farms over crop farms spread over wider areas.

In addition, France would use an option to increase the share of subsidies tied to a type of production, rather than per acre, to direct more money toward livestock farming and specific sectors such as mountain livestock farmers.

Crop growers have attacked the proposed shift of farm aid, saying it assumes permanent high grain prices rather than recognizing that they are vulnerable to market downturns.

FOOD SECTOR | PROCESSING

Food export deficit puzzling: food institute Decline in food manufacturing | Official says processed food sector is failing to compete but it is too early to lay blame

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

A new food industry report reveals that while Canada’s trade surplus in agricultural commodities is soaring based on strong commodity prices, the trade balance for processed foods is deeply in deficit.

Perhaps because of a higher Canadian dollar value and the impact of United States country-of-origin rules, the trade balance in live animals has dropped by one-third to $5.3 billion last year.

An Oct. 5 report from the federal government-supported Canadian Agri-Food Policy Institute said trade in food and beverage products has been running an increasing deficit

during the past decade. ”Since 2004, its trade deficit has risen to nearly $6.5 billion,” said the report.

Vegetables, grain and oilseeds recorded a $10.5 billion trade surplus last year.

“There are a number of factors and it is too early to say exactly what is happening and why,” said CAPI president David McInnes. “We need to do more research but clearly across the board, the processed food sector is experiencing a deficit.”

He said the data do not indicate if part of the issue is increased sales of processed food into the Canadian market.

“This report really sets the stage for other questions,” he said. “Why is this

I think the overall message is that we really need to dig deeper to get better data to explain what is going on.

happening? Some sectors are doing well and others not so well. Why? The more you dig down into the data the more revealing it is, so that is what we have to do.”

Industry analysts argue part of the reason for the deficit in the processed food trade is Canada’s stronger dollar but also the extreme decline in the food manufacturing sector in Ontario.

Over the past decade, many plants owned by multinationals have closed in Ontario — the food processing centre of Canada — and moved production to the United States or lowercost countries off shore.

Agricultural groups also argue that mislabelled or fraudulent food imports have undercut Canadian food sales.

McInnes said the message is clear; that there is a competitiveness problem with Canada’s processed food industry but it is too early to accurately diagnose the causes.

“I think the overall message is that we really need to dig deeper to get better data to explain what is going on,” he said.

CAPI plans a series of reports over the next several years on factors that are affecting competitiveness in the food sector.

He said part of the debate will be whether Canada, as it once did, should set a target for its percentage of world food trade.

“Targets can be incentives but the results may not represent what they appear to represent,” he said.

READERS’ STORIES | FAMILY ENJOYMENT

Livestock producer marks 90th birthday

lorence Brandon says The Western Producer had been in her family’s home for generations.

Her grandfather, Bill Howe, began subscribing to the paper relatively close to The Producer’s inception and her father, Harold Howe, later followed suit.

“I don’t know when Dad started subscribing to The Western Producer, but it was there all of my life,” Brandon said.

She remembers family members passing around copies of Western People, a magazine delivered inside the Producer.

“He (Harold) really enjoyed what they used to call Western People, he loved that booklet,” Brandon said.

“And (I remember) even my aunt

Western Producer readers have moulded the farms, villages, towns and cities throughout the West into the rich, vibrant communities we see today.

As part of 90th anniversary celebrations, our Tell Us Your Story project invites readers to share their memories and connections. asking my grandma for those copies of those magazines. So it’s been part of our lives for years.”

Brandon explained that her mother, Grace, collected quilt patterns The Western Producer once printed within its pages, one block at a time.

“My mom passed away in ’99 and I have a box of her patterns here and I was going through them. And it’s interesting how many of them are still in actual Western Producer envelopes.”

Harold recently celebrated his 90th birthday, but her father’s milestone means more than candles on a cake.

“I think the significant part for me was the fact that my dad raises purebred Red Poll cattle and he’s still raising (them) and he’s still living on the farm,” Brandon said.

“And he’s raised these purebred Red Poll cattle for the past 66 years … because of his first calf crop in 1947.”

In 2011, the Howe family achieved

100 years living on the farm.

Harold gave up his subscription to The Producer a couple of years ago because he wasn’t reading it as much as he used to, though he’s been placing notices for his purebred Red Poll bulls in the livestock section since the spring of 2012, Brandon said.

“Even though he may not have read it from cover to cover, it was a paper that represents that farming background,” Brandon said.

“That’s what my dad represents, to me, that whole farming community that you don’t see in the city. I live in the city (Lethbridge) now; the one thing I miss the most is that rural life.”

It’s all tied up.

When it comes to yield supremacy, it’s six of one, half dozen of the other.

It’s been talked about, debated, and argued amongst growers across the prairies. When it’s all said and done, according to yield trials, Genuity® Roundup Ready® hybrids yield on par with the competition.* Like all contests this close, the debate rages on... for now.

Ducks Unlimited marks 75 years of conservation Anniversary | Organization continues to provide independent analysis

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

STONEWALL , Man. — Ducks Unlimited isn’t owned and operated by the federal government, and Alesa Sutherland thought that was just ducky.

“They’re actually free to talk,” said Sutherland, a Winnipegger who visited Ducks Unlimited’s Oak Hammock Marsh Interpretive Centre Oct. 4 as it celebrated the organization’s 75th anniversary.

“I’m impressed by the level of depth of research that’s going on.”

Sutherland, who is not a Ducks Unlimited member, had just been chatting with research scientist Pascal Badiou, who along with other staffers was manning interpretive stations around the sprawling reclaimed marshland complex north of Winnipeg.

“We aren’t part of the provincial government either, and that’s something that surprises a lot of people,” Badiou had said a few minutes earlier as Sutherland and a group of friends talked with him about Manitoba’s water quality problems.

Oak Hammock Marsh is a sparkling jewel in the crown of protected and reclaimed wetlands that Ducks Unlimited has helped establish across Canada and the United States.

The area was once a vast marsh, absorbing water from a large area of heavy flatland and cleaning it of harmful nutrients such as phosphorus while providing a home to thousands of waterfowl and countless fish. However, the wetlands, like those across much of Western Canada, were drained and converted to agriculture during settlement.

In some cases, as at Oak Hammock, the reclaimed land has merely become poor cropland while allowing phosphorus, nitrogen and other substances and particles to pollute streams, rivers and Lake Winnipeg.

However, conservation groups such as Ducks Unlimited have tried to counter the loss of wetlands. They have established and encouraged government and private conservation and easement programs that help farmers do what they feel is right for the land and birds but also protects them from too much economic damage.

Ducks Unlimited’s work was a response to concerns by U.S. and Canadian hunters that waterfowl populations were declining because of a lack of habitat. Each drained pothole meant fewer ducks come hunting season.

Millions of dollars of hunter contributions, farmer donations and third party supports have helped organizations such as Ducks Unlimited protect existing wetlands, re-establish cleared ones and educate the public about the value of wetlands.

In recent years, the health of Lake Winnipeg has become a hot topic in Manitoba, often pitting farmers against conservationists and governments.

Many have blamed farmers for allowing water to pour off their land far faster than it naturally flowed before being broken, carry-

ing nutrients into water sources.

Badiou told Sutherland and her friends that wetland clearance is still occurring, but groups such as Ducks Unlimited are trying to minimize the loss and encourage the re-establishment of marshes and water retention structures to reduce flooding and pollution.

Sutherland said she is bothered by reports that federal scientists are

muzzled from sharing their professional views and worries about information coming from corporate and government sources. It’s why she appreciates Ducks Unlimited’s independent analysis.

“Ordinarily we get filtered decisions, and I think it’s really important that we recognize that information is vital to making intelligent decisions,” said Sutherland.

OYEN, Alta. — Some rural areas may have difficulty attracting young blood, but not Oyen.

The town in east-central Alberta has young baseball players clamouring to attend high school there.

Thirty-eight boys applied to play ball at the Badlands Baseball Academy this year, and only 17 were accepted.

“It’s an economic driver for our town and it keeps the numbers up in our school and it provides more options for our students,” said academy founder Doug Jones.

Anyway you pencil it out,

NexeraTM canola hybrids equal healthier profits.

In 2013, Nexera is expected to return over $115 million over and above the value of commodity canola. Since its launch, Nexera has returned over $426 million to Western Canadian growers – with more than half of that coming in the last three years.

“The higher returns are being driven by a number of factors,” says Kerry Freeman, Nexera Product Manager, Dow AgroSciences.

“Superior canola yields combined with the grower premiums and incentives associated with Nexera canola are increasing returns. Strong market demand by new and growing end-use customers for heart-healthy Omega-9 Oil is also a big factor.”

Freeman also points out that the heart-healthy Omega-9 Oil made from high-yielding Nexera canola is the new standard in today’s food industry. And the higher-value, end-use product translates into higher profits at the farm level.

Higher profitability starts with the proven performance of Nexera canola hybrids New Nexera canola hybrids increase the profitability equation, and the number of Nexera canola acres grown continues to increase year over year. The Nexera canola hybrid Roundup Ready® Series and Clearfield® Series each offer two high-performing hybrids that are changing canola. Their success is driven by a number of factors, including: • next-generation hybrid technology • industry-leading hybrid yields • early- and late-season hybrid vigour • excellent standability • superior disease resistance

Highest in grower satisfaction, too These new hybrids are ideal for growers in the mid and long-season zones who are looking for hybrid yields and higher profit. They offer yield potential equivalent to any competitive canola hybrid, and result in profitability that’s higher than other canola brands. In fact, Nexera RR Hybrids rank highest in grower satisfaction, according to Canola Evaluation and Intentions, Canada, 2012, Stratus Agri-Marketing, Inc. The option of the Roundup Ready or Clearfield weed control system allows Nexera canola growers to choose the system that works best for them. Either way, growers get the advantages of convenience, flexibility and superior weed control from a production system designed to help them make the most of the Nexera canola profit opportunity.

DOUG JONES ACADEMY FOUNDER

The 17 ball-playing students have bumped enrolment at South Central High School to 113.

Students pay $14,000 a year to attend the academy, and their enrolment at the local high school brings in almost $10,000 each in provincial education grants.

As well, parents and visitors spend money when they visit town during games and billets buy extra groceries at the local store.

“It’s like a half million dollar business in town,” said Jones.

The academy started in 2009 with the help of a $500,000 grant through the Rural Community Adaptation Grant program. Other grants have helped upgrade the ball diamond and recreation centre.

Starting the academy made economic sense for Jones because it helped ensure the schools stay strong, but it was also a way to encourage baseball on the Prairies.

Similar high school baseball academies operate in Alberta in Vauxhall, Okotoks and Edmonton.

Christine Caskey and her husband, Trent, billet ballplayer Dylan Flasch of Lloydminster during the school year.

“We live in rural Alberta, and isn’t that what it’s about, giving an opportunity for a young ballplayer to play ball. The academy is essential,” she said at a recent Saturday morning ball game with her family.

“We are in the middle of nowhere and we’re bringing in 17 new ballplayers into our school every year. We need these kids in the school system.… How do you not give back to something like this. There is not a lot out here. We might not have a movie theatre here, but we can watch great baseball and cheer for kids we know.

Here we know the boys and we get to hang off the fence.”

Principal Alan Stoben said the ballplayers have helped slow the steady reduction of students at the high school. One-third of the graduating class were members of the baseball academy last year.

“Nothing but good has come out of it,” he said. “The kids come from all over and seem to really like it here.”

Stoben said locals have welcomed the new students to their small school and would welcome even more players if the academy were able to expand. Four of the ballplayers are on Stoben’s volleyball team.

He said community members may not come to the school for a volleyball game, but a lot of older people enjoy watching a baseball game.

“Baseball has been a popular and successful sport in Oyen for a long time.”

The indoor practice facility at a mothballed Puratone Pork facility makes the academy the only one with an indoor practice facility.

A member of the Calgary Redbirds swings at the ball while Badger’s catcher Logan Woitowich of Medicine Hat, Alta., catches. Woitowich said coming to the baseball academy has changed his life for the better, giving him a direction in life.

Pronghorns, part of the Saskatchewan Major Baseball League before it folded. The Badlands Badgers sometimes wear the old Pronghorn uniforms as a nod to its baseball roots.

Badger’s head coach Jeff Amos said the academy’s goal is to develop great ballplayers, but it also helps build “greater citizens.”

“You want them to grow up to be responsible young men and valuable community members,” said Amos.

“It’s what they learn through baseball that is going to stick with them for the next 50 years.”

The ball players help decorate the local seniors centre at Christmas and play shuffleboard and cards with seniors at the lodge. They collect food for the food bank at Halloween.

“It helps the town, but it’s good for

our guys here. They learn responsibility and give back,” said Amos.

“These kids come in at 15 or 16 and the town helps raise them. They’re here for three years and it becomes their home.”

Before the weekend double header, the boys grabbed rakes to pull leaves out of the dugout and away from the fence.

“It’s their field and they have to take pride in it and look after it.”

One of the draws for students is the indoor practice facility at a mothballed Puratone Pork facility just east of town. The large facility operated for only nine months before closing, leaving bad feelings and an empty barn.

“It’s a bit of a sore spot,” Jones said about some of the local investors

who lost money.

The academy leases one of the eight 150 by 92 foot rooms in the 160,000 sq. foot. barn for its winter practice area.

“It’s the only academy with an indoor practice facility,” Jones said.

“It has the same turf as Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton.”

Last year, three academy graduates went on to play ball at the University of Nanaimo, one in North Dakota and another in Calgary.

Kaden Doerksen of Mundare, Alta., said it wasn’t a stretch for him to move to Oyen as part of his goal to attend college or university through baseball.

“I love baseball and I want to play all year round,” said Doerksen, a utility player on the Badgers.

Niklas Fischer of Red Deer said it was an adjustment to move to Oyen with a population of about 1,000, but it’s forced him to become more independent.

“You have more responsibility put on you to stay on top of the school and do ball and do your laundry,” said Fischer, a catcher.

“There are more eyes around. It’s a small community, but they are very supportive of the academy.”

Logan Woitowich of Medicine Hat, Alta., said the move to Oyen has been life changing and has given him an opportunity to refocus his life.

“It gets you to a better situation in life,” said Woitowich, also a catcher.

“It was hard at first, but after I figured out I had a second family, I realized I got it good. I have home cooked meals every night and people who like to talk. It gives you a good reality check of things. This is a growing up period for me.”

Woitowich’s grandmother, Laura, said the baseball academy was the best thing to happen to him.

“I like their philosophy of making young men out of the boys,” said Laura.

Amos said the players work hard practicing after school four or five days a week and travelling across the province and the Prairies for weekend games.

“A lot of people couldn’t handle the physical work these kids put in,” said Amos.

Jones said it’s a lot of work keeping the team’s finances secure, but his next dream is to start a girls’ softball academy in Oyen. The infrastructure is already in place and it would be one more draw for the small town.

As well, he said a large riding facility near the school would be ideal for operating a rodeo school.

It’s just one more way of keeping rural Alberta viable, he added.

Growing together for generations.

For 100 years, generations of farm families have contributed to the success of Richardson Pioneer. Five generations of the Mass family have delivered to their local Richardson Pioneer elevator in Weyburn, Saskatchewan.

“We have always delivered to Richardson Pioneer,” says Chris Mass, who has taken over the family farm from his father Don and now works alongside his 21-year-old son, Evan. Younger son Nicholas is eager to follow in his footsteps. “It’s all because of the people - the personal service and the relationships that we have developed over the years.”

FERTILIZER | POTASH

Sask. premier expects potash discount, for now Marketing alliances | Provincial government expects potash prices to dip 25 percent following trade shakeup SINGAPORE (Reuters) — The Saskatchewan government is factoring in a 25 percent decline in potash prices following the breakup of longstanding trading arrangements that have jolted the world market.

However, premier Brad Wall also said the world potash market was difficult to forecast and any successful attempt to restore a shattered alliance between producers in Russia and Belarus could bring back higher prices.

The breakup in July of a joint ven-

ture between Russia’s Uralkali and Belaruskali in neighbouring Belarus has sent prices tumbling, with buyers holding back on purchases in anticipation of further declines.

That alliance, plus a grouping of three potash companies in Saskatchewan called Canpotex — Potash Corp, Mosaic Co. and Agrium Inc. — accounted for 70 percent of international sales.

Wall, who was on an Asian tour to boost trade, said his government had priced in a discount of 25 percent of previous levels of about $400 per tonne.

“You see experts talking about a 25 percent discount ... down to about $300 dollars or so. We have adjusted for that in our budget,” he said.

“The problem is nobody is really buying anything right now. There’s a bit of a paralysis pending the shakeout until people figure out what exactly is going to happen going forward.”

Wall said he used his Asian tour, which took him to Japan, the Philippines and Singapore, to support efforts by Canpotex to encourage

buyers. However, there were no purchasing commitments.

He said the Saskatchewan miners were keeping close watch on attempts

to heal the rift between the Russian and Belarusian companies.

“In terms of price, my guess is really as good as anyone’s.... There seem to be signals that maybe that alliance is not quite as over as people thought.

We are watching it very carefully,” he said.

“If there is order in the market, if the price was $400 a tonne roughly speaking because of the order — the two alliances basically doing their thing — I think there would be an expectation that would be a reasonable price if it were all to be put back together again.”

There are no firm plans to restore the alliance, although Russia and Belarus have backed the idea.

Belarus has set up a new company with the same name and said it is ready to sell potash with Uralkali “in any format” to keep prices high after rumours emerged that Suleiman Kerimov, the biggest shareholder in the Russian potash monopoly, was selling his stake worth $4 billion.

“The existence of the alliance would be right for global potash market and for producers,” said Igor Shuvalov, Russia’s first deputy prime minister.

Wall said his government was still considering proposals to change the royalty structure to shift the emphasis to production levels from prices.

“We have told the companies very transparently that when we do this, when we actually begin the review, we are going to do it together,” he said.

“We don’t want royalty shock.

We’ll simply be looking to adjust things so that the taxpayers are kept whole but yet not in a way that is some sort of a disincentive to further expansion or production in Saskatchewan.”

The shift is prompted in part by the development of major new sites in the province, including an eight million tonne mine that BHP Billiton PLC hopes to develop near Jansen, Sask. Construction has started on the project.

“No final decisions have been made on the BHP project, which would help inform the process because of the amount of supply that would come from there,” Wall said.

However, he said uncertainty remained a characteristic of the industry.

“You know, I’ve had this job since 2007. With respect to the potash industry, I believe anything is possible,” he said.

“We are all thinking of six to 12 months before things become more evident, and frankly, there are greater sales. The best indicator of what is going to happen is when the sales start again. We will all know the price and all know the net impact of the situation.”

Potash hurt by ‘soap opera’ Producers pressured | Agrium CEO says industry may reduce production capacity TORONTO (Reuters) — The Russian potash “soap opera” could weigh on prices until demand rises substantially or miners reduce capacity, says Agrium Inc.’s chief executive officer.

Prices for the crop nutrient have slipped since mid-summer, when Russian’s Uralkali OAO quit its export partnership with Belaruskali, owned by the Belarus government, saying it would seek to boost volume.

The business dispute quickly turned into a diplomatic row after Uralkali’s CEO was detained in August while visiting Belarus, which depends on income from Belaruskali.

“The soap opera in Russia, and I think that’s the best way to characterize it ... I don’t know how it’s going to play out,” Mike Wilson said at the Agrium’s investor day in New York.

He said the structure of the market has to go back to where it was, either by producers reducing capacity or demand soaring higher than 60 million tonnes. Otherwise, he said, prices will be under pressure.

In June, the International Fertilizer Industry Association said it expects potash demand of 33 million tonnes this year.

“I am a little more cautious than some of our competitors,” said Wilson, but added he was optimistic over the long term.

“There’s huge barriers to entry.”

Agrium is aiming to complete an expansion at its potash mine near Vanscoy, Sask., by the end of 2014. The company has said repeatedly the project still makes sense at current prices.

Agrium is in the early stages of evaluating whether to restart an idled nitrogen plant in Kenai, Alaska, said chief operating officer Chuck Magro, who is tapped to become CEO when Wilson retires at the end of this year.

The Kenai facility was idled in 2008 because of a shortage of natural gas.

“I just want to make this really clear.

Today, there’s not enough natural gas to restart Kenai,” said Magro.

“But there is a lot of gas drilling in the Cook Inlet again, and we are working with the gas companies to determine if there is a possibility to restart those assets.”

Magro said that determination should take about a year.

Union protests at key Dakota Plains Co-op gives green light for CHS Inc. merger Argentine port cause CHS expands presence | Company will gain 15 facilities in North Dakota

shipping delays

(Reuters) — Members of Dakota Plains Cooperative in North Dakota have approved a merger with top U.S. farmer co-op CHS Inc. The merger will take place Jan. 1, pending approval by the CHS board, the companies said in a statement earlier this month.

It was approved in late September by 92 percent of Dakota Plains members, they said.

The companies did not release

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (Reuters) — A spike in shipping costs and lower profits resulting from a series of union protests at Argentina’s Rosario port, one of the world’s biggest grain export centres, has raised concerns among the country’s agricultural companies.

Strikes by powerful unions representing river pilots, longshoremen and soybean crushing workers have been frequent at the port, about 300

financial details.

Dakota Plains operates 15 facilities in central and southeastern North Dakota, offering farmers agronomy and grain marketing services and energy, seed and feed products.

The merger would expand CHS’s presence in the country’s largest spring wheat producing state, which has seen corn and soybean production rise in recent years, mostly in the fertile Red River Valley in eastern

North Dakota.

The companies said in August that plans under discussion included construction of three new fertilizer plants.

The pending merger is the latest deal in a broader wave of consolidation across the global agribusiness sector dominated by the larger ABCD companies: Archer Daniels Midland Co., Bunge Ltd, Cargill Inc. and Louis Dreyfus Corp.

kilometres north of Buenos Aires, where some of the world’s top grain traders, such as Cargill, Bunge and Louis Dreyfus, operate.

Port reliability is key to the country, which relies heavily on farm export taxes to fund government spending, since the country has been locked out of international bond markets since its massive 2002 sovereign default.

Argentina, the world’s No. 3 corn and soybean exporter, will be counted on to help meet rising food demand as global population grows toward nine billion by 2050. So world consumers also hold a stake in the health of its ports.

Protesters have been demanding pay increases to compensate for eroding purchasing power caused by inflation in Argentina, one of the world’s highest rates, estimated by private analysts at about 25 percent.

Union protests, among other things, have blocked bean deliveries to soybean oil processing plants and help guiding ships into port.

Delays in loading ships can be costly. Docking a Panamax-sized vessel with a capacity of 65,000 tonnes of grain costs about $13,000 US to $17,000 a day, according to the Capym port industry chamber.

The port handles nearly 80 percent of the grains and derivatives shipped from Argentina, the world’s top soybean meal and oil exporter.

Up to 100 ships have been left waiting when strikes have gone on for more than a few days. Normally, 2,400 ships pass through the Rosario area each year.

Argentina harvested 49.3 million tonnes of soybeans and a record 32.1 million tonnes of corn in the 2012-13 season, far exceeding volumes a decade ago. Specialists say those numbers should continue rising in coming years.

Agriculture exporters have complained, however, that sustained growth in Argentine farm output has not been accompanied by adequate port development. And they say the problem may get worse before it gets better.

EU completes ag reforms with cuts to farm subsidies BRUSSELS, Belgium (Reuters) — European Union negotiators have agreed to a five percent minimum reduction in subsidy payments that are worth more than $200,000 a year to individual farms.

The deal finalizes sweeping reforms to the Common Agricultural Policy.

Under the deal, EU governments will have the option of capping individual payouts at $420,000 a year.

The two other institutions in the talks — the European Parliament and European Commission — had wanted a mandatory cap.

EU negotiators had agreed on most elements in the complex overhaul of the $67 billion CAP by the end of June.

Among the changes were new environmental requirements for farmers and an end to EU sugar production quotas from 2017.

The recent deal on the remaining issues dispelled fears that payments to farmers would be disrupted if the legislation was not in place by the start of next year, when the reforms begin to enter force.

“I am delighted that we have now been able to finalize the reform as a whole,” EU agriculture commissioner Dacian Ciolos said in a statement.

“This is important for European farmers as it provides them with greater certainty for the coming year.”

Other parts of the deal were in line with an agreement struck by EU leaders in February on the bloc’s longterm budget for 2014-20, of which the CAP remains the largest item.

It includes plans to reduce the disparity between producers in Italy, Belgium and the Netherlands, who receive more than $200 per acre on average, and those in the Baltic states, such as Lithuania, who receive less than $80 per acre.

The deal must now be formally rubber-stamped by EU governments and the Parliament before the reforms begin to bite starting next year.

Changes to the direct subsidies paid to farmers, which are worth about $56 billion a year, will take effect only in 2015.

Saputo wins bidding for Australian dairy company Warrnambool bought for $370.1 million | Saputo sees Australia as the ideal launching pad to get into China’s $45 billion a year dairy market SYDNEY, Australia (Reuters) — Canada’s Saputo Inc. has bought Warrnambool Cheese and Butter Factory Company Holdings Ltd., potentially kick starting a wave of foreign purchases in Australia’s $3.8 billion a year dairy industry.

Canada’s largest dairy producer knocked out a significantly lower bid from Warrnambool’s majority shareholder, fellow Australian company Bega Cheese Ltd., to win approval from the board for its $370.1 million bid.

Australian dairy farmers have been battered in recent years by a powerful

combination of factors, including a supermarket price war that slashed domestic wholesale prices, a strong Australian dollar that crimped exports and a drought that sent cattle feed costs soaring.

There are bright spots on the horizon, including a recent drop in the Australian dollar and rising demand from the Asian middle class. However, many local dairy farmers probably won’t be able to hang on for the good years in the face of well-funded foreign competitors.

“We’ve got significant enquiries ... from both major local producers as

well as offshore investors looking for exposure to Australian agriculture,” said Jesse Manuel, a rural and agribusiness specialist at Colliers International with a number of dairy farms on its books.

“Those investors are predominantly from Asia including Singapore and China, also New Zealand.”

Saputo, which operates in Canada, the United States and Argentina, has long been looking at Australia as a platform to expand its global presence and tap growing demand in Asia’s emerging markets.

“This is our dream of ultimately

having an Australian platform,” said Saputo chief executive officer Lino A. Saputo, Jr. “We believe Australia has the ideal platform for us getting products into those emerging markets.”

Sales of dairy products in China are worth $45 billion a year and are expected to grow rapidly through 2017 to $89 billion, according to a Frost & Sullivan report.

Ray White Rural, an assets agent, recently sent a team to China to meet potential investors in Beijing.

“The biggest interest in rural is in dairy,” said chair Paul White.

“Australia is starting to get quite a focus,” he said.

Australia’s largest dairy business, Van Diemen’s Land, said it is in talks with potential investors to raise $180 million. According to local media reports, possible investors include China Investment Corp (CIC), the country’s sovereign wealth fund, and Fonterra.

Analysts consider Van Diemen’s Land a takeover target. It includes several dairy farms in Tasmania and northwestern Australia.

Wahaha, China’s biggest beverage company, said last year that it was looking to buy Australian dairy farms to supply milk powder to China.

Colliers is marketing Raleigh Dairies, which owns two farms on Australia’s east coast, and Lactanz Dairies in Western Australia. Rosmerta, owned by a private New Zealand company, is up for sale after going into receivership.

Saputo made an off-market offer of $7 Aus per share for Warrnambool in an all-cash deal, which the Warrnambool board had recommended shareholders to accept. That was well above a $5.75 per share offer from majority owner Bega Cheese Ltd. in September.

Saputo has a sales office in China and sells dairy products into Japan, Taiwan and South Korea out of its Argentina operations.

Saputo said he expected the company’s planned growth to come from more acquisitions, potentially in Australia.

“Of course, if there are other assets available for sale, we will be part of that process,” he said.

“Our balance sheet is very, very clean, which provides us quite a bit of flexibility for other acquisitions.”

Warrnambool CEO David Lord said the Saputo offer, which represented a 57 percent premium to the onemonth volume-weighted average price of Warrnambool shares before Bega’s offer was announced, was far superior to the Bega bid in terms of value and conditionality.

DUSTY DAYS OF HAZE

POLICY | FARM AID

American farm subsidy programs subject to ‘gaming’ Eligibility standards | Report says millions are given to people who aren’t actively farming WASHINGTON, D.C. (Reuters) — U.S. lawmakers must tighten farm subsidy rules to make sure the money goes only to active farmers and landowners, according to a congressional report.

The report warned that millions of dollars are at stake.

Senator Charles Grassley, who requested the report, said it showed “there is still far too much subterfuge” involved in the way farm payments are made and limits applied.

The Iowa Republican called for “closing loopholes that allow nonfarmers to game the system.”

The House of Representatives and Senate have proposed stricter eligibility standards as part of five-year omnibus farm bills. The new farm law is a year overdue. Work has been slowed by disagreements over how much to cut from U.S. nutrition programs, commonly known as food stamps.

The Government Accountability Office, Congress’s investigative arm, looked at rules intended to restrict subsidies to active farmers. To count as a farmer, applicants must provide capital, equipment, land, labour or management of a farm.

In its 60-page report, the GAO said it found cases where people claimed subsidies for management of a farm located hundreds of kilometres from their homes. They also found farms in which several people said they provided active management and merited subsidy payments of up to $40,000 each.

As an example, the GAO said a Midwestern farm covering 25,000 acres received $400,000 in payments in 2012. Eleven members of the same family were said to provide management, from an 88-year-old resident of south Florida to an 18-year-old who began receiving payments at age 16.

“The federal government risks distributing millions of dollars to indiv i d u a l s w h o hav e l i t t l e a c t u a l involvement in farming operations,” said the report.

It noted broad definitions of what counts as “management” and the difficulty in verifying the role performed by farm program recipients.

Ferd Hoefner of the small-farm group National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition said the current definition of farm management was “a wide-open loophole ... used to get almost unlimited payments” to large operations.

The House and Senate bills would allow only one person per farm to claim subsidies as the manager. They would also set a $250,000 limit on payments for a couple and bar payments to the wealthiest operators.

The two bills, which are yet to be reconciled, have different levels for the cut-off point for income.

There is no overall payment limit at present, although subsidies are barred to people with more than

$1.25 million a year in adjusted gross income from farm and off-farm sources.

GARDENING | PICTURE BUTTE

Alberta offers fertile ground for greenhouse Bedding plant production | Wind is the biggest production challenge at deVry Greenhouses

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

PICTURE BUTTE, Alta. — The colourful bracts on poinsettias that will brighten Canadian homes during the coming holiday season have yet to appear on this sea of green plants.

Once they do, nearly 13 acres of them now developing in a greenhouse near Picture Butte, Alta., will be shipped to retailers in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.

The deVry Greenhouses facility is one of three operated by the parent company, which is based in Chilliwack, B.C. The wholesale operation grows bedding plants for the spring market, mums and perennials for fall and poinsettias for early winter, as well as Easter lilies and smaller crops for minor demand.

Facility manager Elden Van Klei said southern Alberta was chosen for deVry’s expansion in 2007 because of several attributes.

“We have a good solid water supply from the irrigation system, we have very high light levels and we have warmer temperatures than, let’s say, Red Deer, which would be a more

central location,” he said.

“We have the chinooks, which come through, and actually our heating in the winter is not much different than it would be in B.C. There, they vent off humidity. Here, we have to heat for the temperature and that’s it.”

An Alberta location also eliminates the cost of trucking plants over the Rockies from British Columbia and satisfies retailer desires for Albertagrown product.

Most of the bedding plants here are started from seed in B.C. and then shipped to Alberta for growing out and sale to retailers. Plants started from cuttings are propagated on site.

Van Klei said no supplementary light is provided to plants in the greenhouse. A curtain system is used to limit sunlight when necessary in summer, while radiant hot water heat is provided in winter by two 20 million BTU boilers.

The poinsettias now perched in pots at deVry are kept at about 19 C and vented if temperatures reach 22 C. “Every crop is different, and it depends on the stage of the crop,” Van Klei said about preferred temperatures.

DeVry greenhouse field manager Elden Van Klei describes the operation near Picture Butte, Alta., which has 13 acres under glass. It grows a variety of bedding plants for wholesale, supplying major retailers including Loblaws, Rona and Lowes. At present, it is growing poinsettias in preparation for holiday season demand. | BARB GLEN PHOTO

“Humidity we don’t worry too much about. If it gets too high we will vent, above let’s say 80 (percent), which very rarely happens in Alberta.

We barely ever have a humidity problem in Alberta.”

However, the region’s persistent winds do require special management. Wind on a hot summer day can keep the greenhouse from becoming excessively hot, but the vents can’t be opened if the wind is too strong.

“We’re usually about two to three

degrees minimum above the outside temperature when it’s hot,” he said.

“If there’s no wind it could be more, and if it’s a good wind, about 30 km-h wind, it’s the best. Once it goes higher than that, we have to start closing vents and then it can get very hot in here.”

A central computer controls heating, venting and irrigation. The bays are sloped toward two central drains, and plastic and ground cloth beneath

the bays prevent moisture loss into the water table. Rainwater is collected from the roof for later use by the plants.

Van Klei said insect problems are almost inevitable. Thrips, aphids and white flies are the most common pests. Biological controls are the first plan of attack, though chemicals are often needed as a secondary measure.

The facility employs 45 people at peak operations, including those who work part-time.

ADVERTISING FEATURE

Markusson New Holland Outstanding Dealership Award In a special ceremony at the Canada West Equipment Dealers Association (CWEDA) Convention, the Western Producer’s Outstanding Dealership Award for 2012 was presented to Markusson New Holland, located in Emerald Park, just outside of Regina, Saskatchewan. The award was in recognition of providing the highest standards of customer service, business ethics and customer satisfaction. Company spokesperson, Hartley Markusson, says it was an honour to receive this award because winners are chosen by nominations from their customers. Markusson says, “The Western Producer Outstanding Dealership Award, being customer driven, is truly a special award the dealership is honoured to receive. Thank you to the Western Producer and all who nominated us.”

This award comes on the coattails of another milestone. In 2012, this family owned and operated company celebrated its 50th anniversary. Three generations of the Markusson family have been involved in the business since it was first purchased by Hart Markusson (Hartley’s father) back in 1962. In the early days, the company sold the Versatile line of agriculture equipment and General Motors automobile products from its dealership in Foam Lake, Saskatchewan. “My wife Lorraine and I joined my mother Violet, after Hart’s passing, in managing the dealership in 1974,” shares Hartley Markusson. “Later, our two sons Cory and Derrick became involved in the business and are now equal partners.” With consistently strong leadership, the company has grown to be one of the largest New Holland single store dealerships in North America.

Markusson admits it is the family’s strong work ethic, dedicated employees and commitment to its customers that has greatly attributed to the company’s success over the years. They also maintain an excellent relationship with their suppliers and business associates.

It’s no surprise then, that in July of this year, New Holland rewarded the Markusson dealership with yet another honour – membership in the exclusive New Holland President’s Club. This award recognizes smart business management practices and dedication to customer service, and is only presented to a select few based on stringent criteria.

The Markusson family.

Markusson’s connection with the agriculture community of Regina area was first forged in the spring of 1994, when New Holland was looking for a dealer to represent the Regina area. For the Markusson family, still operating out of its Foam Lake location, the timing couldn’t have been better as they were looking to expand. The Markussons built a new dealership in Emerald Park and changed the name to Markusson New Holland of Regina Ltd. The Markussons and New Holland were a good fit for the area. The dealership grew rapidly because of its superior product line and after-market service.

Presently, Markusson New Holland employs close to 50 people - highly trained professionals in accounting, management, sales, service and parts. The company’s product line is extensive – virtually anything New Holland sells is available through the Markusson’s dealership, as well as many other lines to fill its customers’ needs. As well, the Degelman and the Versatile line are still sold after 50 years of the Markusson family being in business. A huge stock of used equipment can be seen on the company’s recently updated website www.markusson.com, which also provides extensive information on the parts and service department.

“Customers rely on a full service dealership,” explains Markusson. “After market service is very important. Our customers appreciate coming in and seeing consistent staff, year after year, who know what they need. We have very capable staff members trained in all aspects of their responsibilities - from our sales people to the Master New Holland technicians on the shop floor. We are proud to say that a high percentage of our staff has been with us for many years.”

Markusson says that always employing the latest technologies has allowed for efficiencies in business operations to provide that excellence in customer service. “We try to use technology to help us on and off the premises,” he shares.

“A new addition this year, is all of our service technicians have been provided with laptops, both at their work stations and in their service trucks. All are connected to the Internet so staff members are able to access information quickly and easily, whether it’s parts availability, a manual for a certain piece of machinery, or looking up instructions. It all comes down to providing what the customer wants - when they need it - to be successful in their business. And when our customers succeed, we succeed.”

Markusson New Holland would like to thank its staff, customers and partners for helping it achieve the Outstanding Dealership Award for 2013.

A big “Thank You” also goes out to The Western Producer for sharing the Markusson story throughout the company’s history.

FOOD SAFETY | ASSISTANCE

New food safety programs unveiled Support programs | Consumer trends boost demand for on-farm food safety training

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Manitoba farmers will continue to be able to apply for on-farm food safety support, but a recent federalprovincial announcement doesn’t appear to expand the reach of the programs.

“I don’t see anything outstanding that’s really a big, substantial change between this new suite of programs compared to the old ones,” Keystone Agricultural Producers general manager James Battershill said a day after a federal-provincial announcement.

“I expect they’ll be fairly well picked up by producers.”

The growth of the farmer-to-consumer market, in which farmers directly supply urban consumers with products rather than using traditional commercial channels, has increased the demand for on-farm food safety support and training.

It has also increased longstanding demands for food safety and development support for farmers hoping to work through the traditional system.

Previous farm safety net programs have included funding to help farmers develop, produce and market food products they make on their farms. Funding was made available for this in the first version of the Growing Forward farm programs.

Battershill said that suppor t appears to continue with the Oct. 9 federal-provincial announcement of funding through the new Growing Forward agreement.

“Food safety is a priority for our government,” Manitoba MP James Bezan said in a news release.

“These initiatives will provide farmers and processors with the resources they need to continue producing high quality food products.”

Manitoba agriculture minister Ron Kostyshyn, whose department was recently embroiled in a controversy over the seizure and destruction of allegedly improperly produced prosciutto, said the program is designed to preserve safety and confidence in the system.

“The process of food safety begins on farms, then moves to include processors, the transportation industry and retailers and ends on the consumer’s plate,” Kostyshyn said in the news release.

“Meeting high food safety standards will benefit the agri-food industry by maintaining consumer confidence, increasing market access, enhancing product quality and consistency and reducing waste in a world where food is a valuable commodity.”

Battershill said the details of the new version of the program aren’t fully clear yet, but farmers in Manitoba will look carefully to see if money is shifting away from onfarm food products to the off-farm food producers.

“We just don’t want programs that support (off-farm food development) to come at the expense of farmer programs,” said Battershill.

Ontario farmers have become upset at signs that money they thought was going to support farmers who developed food products was instead going to commercial and industrial producers.

“The concern is, are larger businesses being able to access this money that should be going to farmers,” said Battershill.

QUAIL | BIG MARKETS, SMALL BIRDS

Ont. couple hatches big batches of little birds Quail producers | Production expands to produce 50,000 birds every week

BY JEFFREY CARTER FREELANCE WRITER

DUART, Ont. — An Ontario couple’s investment in the North American quail industry was less of a risk than many may have suspected.

Scot and Cheryl Ryckman broke into the industry eight years ago by supplying the little birds to an established processor, Nipissing Game Farm Inc., in Callander, Ont. They quickly built production at their farm near Duart to 20,000 birds a week and bought the processing facility two years ago. They now produce as many as 50,000 birds a week and employ 60 people, including the occasional workers who catch birds.

“The first couple years we struggled a bit, but once we got going it has been decent,” Scot Ryckman said.

“The first week is crucial. Once you get them past that, they’re fairly easy to raise.”

The couple had help in the beginning. A representative of the Quebec company that supplied their breeding stock stayed with them for a couple weeks to help them learn the basics.

There are two large producers in Quebec, another in British Columbia, one in South Carolina and one in Georgia. Together they produce 400,000 to 500,000 birds a week, Ryckman said.

China is the world’s largest producer of quail, where they’re raised f o r m e at a n d e g g p ro d u c t i o n .

According to a 2009 article in World Poultry, upward of a billion birds are slaughtered annually.

He said there may be more demand than supply in North America, but margins are tight: a few cents per bird.

The commercial industry relies on a hybrid line of coturnix japonica, more commonly known as Japanese quail. They dress out around 135 grams, but are surprisingly meaty.

Quails are social birds that perform better when raised in close proximity. Cheryl and Scot Ryckman raise them at a density of eight to 10 birds per sq. foot. | JEFFREY CARTER PHOTO The bones weigh about 25 grams.

“It doesn’t taste like chicken and it doesn’t taste like duck,” he said.

“I find it to be like a cross between chicken and turkey.”

Quail producers need to be selfsufficient, producing and hatching their own eggs.

The breeding hens are kept for about six months. They lay an egg every eight days out of 10.

The hybrid birds won’t set. Instead, the eggs are collected and incubated.

The chicks emerge in 18 days.

Respiratory ailments related to mould can be a concern. Keeping clean barns helps, and Ryckman said they’ve fine-tuned their management.

The birds receive a prepared grain mix and finish in about six weeks, which is somewhat slower than commercial chickens.

“The tighter you grow them the better they do. We raise them at eight to 10 birds per sq. foot,” he said.

The birds are halal certified, and the 6,000 sq. foot plant, which

employs 30, is Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point approved.

Ryckman makes the five-hour trip north to Callander every other week.

Nipissing Game Farm has a reputation for quality that goes back to its previous owners, who started the business in the early 1970s, Ryckman said.

“We take pride in the produce we produce,” he said.

“We don’t just push them out the door.”

The Ryckmans market through

wholesalers. Seventy-five percent of the birds are sold to consumers and other end users in the United States.

Quail is often treated as a delicacy by restaurants, but retail prices are reasonable. A package of six birds sells for $9 to $10, he said, which is enough to feed two adults and two children.

The Ryckmans and their two children eat quail regularly. Numerous recipes are available on the internet.

He said the meat is tender as long as it’s not overcooked.

BEEF | RESPONSE TO COMPETITIVENESS REPORT

Industry has responded to critical CAPI report, says official

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

It’s been more than a year since the Canadian Agri-Food Policy Institute released a report that brutally described the deficiencies in Canada’s beef industry.

The report, titled Canada’s Beef Food System, said the country’s beef sector has no strategy or vision and is complacent and falling behind other countries.

CAPI president David McInnes said Canada’s beef sector still has its challenges, but the report, which was published last September, hasn’t been ignored.

“To the credit of the sector, there’s been a lot of response since the publication of our report. There is an

increasing appetite to work differently,” he said, noting the report was based on more than 80 interviews with ranchers, feedlot operators, food service companies, retailers and representatives of industries outside the beef sector.

It said Canada’s beef exports to the United States dropped to $877 million in 2011 from more than $1.5 billion in 2005, while imports from the U.S. increased to $835.1 million in from less than $200 million.

“The erosion of Canada’s trade balance is a strong signal of a loss of competitiveness,” the report said.

As well, A&W announced this past September that it is now serving hamburgers with no-added hormones at its 770 restaurants in Canada. A&W is importing beef from Aus-

tralia and the United States to supply its 770 restaurants because there isn’t enough supply of hormone-free beef in Canada.

McInnes wasn’t willing to comment on the A&W decision because it occurred well after the CAPI report was published.

Yet, as noted in the report, today’s consumers consider more than just price when they buy a sirloin steak or a Mama Burger.

“Food purchases are becoming an ethical calculation for discerning consumers,” the report said.

“How Canada’s beef sector interprets and responds to these requirements is vitally important.”

McInnes said the beef market has become complex. “(It) is very challenging to under-

stand what does the consumer really want and need, but therein is the opportunity.”

The Alberta Livestock and Meat Agency responded to the report by spearheading an effort to transform Canada’s beef industry.

ALMA helped organize beef summits in the last year that it described on its website as a bipartisan gathering of people committed to Canada’s beef sector, including JBS, Cargill, McDonalds, Alberta Beef Producers, Canadian Cattlemen’s Association, Canada Beef Inc. and the Western Stock Growers’ Association.

“This is a private sector initiative to collectively create a new paradigm of selling Canadian beef to increase profitability and sustainability for all

sectors,” ALMA said.

Following the summits in Calgary and Toronto, the group created four task forces to examine particular challenges in the beef sector and ultimately develop a new industry strategy.

McInnes said the ALMA initiative is encouraging because the CAPI report noted the beef industr y lacked co-operation and collaboration.

He said alignment within all levels of the beef supply chain is critical if the sector wants to find answers to critical questions such as what attributes consumers want in their food, how to be more responsive to consumer expectations and how to differentiate Canada’s beef in an evolving marketplace.

IRON IN THE FIRE

AGRIBUSINESS | PROFITS DOWN

Cargill profit slumps following 2012 drought Quarterly report | Exports expected to pick up after big corn, soybean crops are harvested CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — American agribusiness company Cargill Inc. has reported a 41 percent drop in quarterly profits as the lingering effects of the 2012 drought in the United States reduced grain-handling opportunities.

The company struggled with thin inventories in the world’s top farm exporter, which kept grain pricey and lowered processing volume and export demand during the summer months.

Minneapolis-based Cargill, one of the world’s largest privately held corporations and a top commodities trader, reported $571 million US in net earnings for the first quarter ended Aug. 31, down from last year’s record quarter of $975 million.

First-quarter revenues of $33.8 b i l l i o n m a t c h e d t h e y e a r- a g o period.

“Our agricultural supply chain and food ingredient businesses were focused on helping customers and the company to successfully manage their raw material purchases and inventories during the market uncertainty that precedes the transition to new crops in the northern hemisphere,” Cargill chief executive officer Greg Page said.

A big U.S. corn and soybean harvest now under way is expected to replenish supplies, thus boosting export prospects and processing volumes for Cargill, as well as its rivals such as Archer Daniels Midland and Bunge.

ADM and Bunge also reported disappointing earnings for the quarter ended June 30 tied to short corn and soybean supplies.

U.S. exports for corn, wheat and soybeans for the quarter ended Aug. 31 were down nearly 30 percent from a year ago, dragged lower by corn and soybean shipments, according to data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

“We were dealing with dwindling corn and soybean stocks and strong immediate demand for cash grain, and in North America, gyrations in the weather, which really made the harvest expectations difficult to ascertain. All of that caused the markets to invert,” said Cargill spokesperson Lisa Clemens.

“When you’re looking at inverted markets, where your nearby prices are much higher than more distant contracts, you have to do an excellent job managing your purchases and your inventories,” Clemens added.

Standard & Poor’s ratings analyst Chris Johnson said Cargill’s lower earnings were expected, given the strength of earnings a year ago.

“We’re looking at continued stabilization in their beef and animal protein business. That continued to be the trend line,” said Johnson, noting that S&P upgraded Cargill’s debt rating to stable last month from a negative outlook after its beef segment showed signs of improvement last quarter.

First quarter results fell in three of four business segments. Cargill’s animal protein unit, which had been under stress in the past year amid a 60-year low in the U.S. cattle supply and high feed costs, posted a rise due to improved margins, the company said.

“We’re looking to see cash flow generation to still be good over this year, so we’re not too concerned about inventories and working capital resulting in higher debt balances,” Johnson added.

Although earnings fell in the company’s grain origination and processing unit, it was the largest contr ibutor to first-quar ter results.

The company’s food and ingredient earnings were disappointing and its energy business, which includes trading in petroleum, coal, power and gas, declined.

Despite the poor performance, Cargill plans to expand its energy business to include more physical trade.

“Cargill looks long-ter m and understands the markets are cyclical, and in this instance we had the combined effects of mild weather, soft demand, low market volatility, so we did not have good performance.

“But our decisions are made on many factors beyond immediate or most recent performance,” said Clemens.

WEATHER | FORECAST

El Nino outlook neutral into spring NEW YORK, N.Y. (Reuters) — The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says the El Nino phen o m e n o n i s u n l i k e l y t o c au s e extreme weather in the Northern Hemisphere into next spring.

In its monthly report, the Climate Prediction Center said atmospheric and oceanic conditions over the last

month indicated a neutral El Nino forecast heading into the spring, with w a r m e r c o n d i t i o n s g ra d u a l l y increasing.

The weather pattern can cause flooding and heavy rain in the United States and South America and trigger drought conditions in Southeast Asia and Australia.

TRADE | EXPORTS

Wheat deliveries begin to reach Syria Sanctions eased | Shipments were slowed due to frozen bank accounts LONDON/HAMBURG, (Reuters) — Deliveries of wheat are starting to reach Syr ia’s por ts as its bank accounts abroad are gradually being freed from sanctions, with grain traders detecting a greater willingness from European governments to allow deals to go ahead on humanitarian grounds.

As civil war grinds on, Syria is facing its worst wheat harvest in three decades. President Bashar al-Assad, who has already escaped air strikes as punishment for chemical weapons attacks, will now be able to bolster depleted food supplies.

Trade sources familiar with commercial deals said at least 500,000 tonnes of bread-making wheat that

Syria had tried to obtain months ago, but which could not be paid for because its foreign bank accounts were frozen, were now starting to be delivered.

“What we are seeing at the moment is Syrian government business that was done in the past — between four to six months ago — that is only now being executed,” a Middle East based trade source involved in deals said.

“It looks like the payment issues are being resolved.”

A source with Syria’s state wheat buyer, the General Establishment for C e re a l P ro c e s s i n g a n d T ra d e, (Hoboob), confirmed deals were struck months ago for 500,000 tonnes of wheat, adding that 150,000 tonnes

had recently been delivered using previously frozen funds.

“The willingness amongst governments that have frozen Syrian assets to offer waivers allowing the regime to tap into these funds in order to buy food staples is likely to increase in the short term,” said Torbjorn Soltvedt of risk consultancy Maplecroft.

“Following the U.S. administration’s decision to forgo air strikes, at least in the short term, the conflict remains a stalemate in which the humanitarian situation will continue to deteriorate.”

Banking sanctions and asset freezes created a climate that had made it difficult to do business with Damascus.

PROTECT CROPS FROM LOSSES POST HARVEST

Producers should know the temperature and moisture content of their commodities as they are stored. If that co-ordinated point falls inside the no spoilage zone of the graphs, then it should be safe for five to six months. If the stored product falls into the centre area between the two zones, there is a risk of problems and the crop should be monitored. Inside the spoilage zone the crop should be aerated or turned and cooled to safe levels.

Quonset insulation fills tricky gaps System protects | It is a combination of products and a strategy to provide airflow that keeps condensation from forming

BY KAREN BRIERE

THE QUONSET QUANDARY: HOW CAN FLAT INSULATION FIT A ROUNDED BUILDING?

REGINA BUREAU

MOOSE JAW, Sask. — Quonsets once used to store farm equipment don’t measure up on many of today’s farms.

Equipment has simply become too large to fit through the doors of the older, corrugated steel half-circle buildings.

However, this doesn’t mean the buildings are past their useful lives.

A Moose Jaw company has a way to insulate these buildings so that farmers can heat them and use them as shops or offices.

H.B.T. Enterprises is the Saskatchewan distributor for Quik-Therm Insulation, an expanded polystyrene that is bendable and filled with air rather than gas such as extruded polystyrene.

Vic Tuplin of H.B.T. Enterprises said there are several obvious challenges to insulating a Quonset: the buildings are round, ridged and tend to rain inside because of condensation.

Strapping Two-by-four strapping, mounted horizontally, holds the outer insulation sheets away from the inner layer and provides support and reduces thermal bridging.

Insulation Polystyrene insulation provides an airtight barrier to cold and heat.

Insulation and cladding The outside layer of insulation is taped and foamed at each joint, and the boards are secured to the strapping with screws and large washers. A low profile cladding is added to protect the outer shell.

Ventilation A vent is added to the Quonset walls every four feet. Spinning roof vents pull air up through the walls to reduce humidity and equalize temperatures.

VIC TUPLIN H.B.T. ENTERPRISES

“We use a wood structure, using the existing bolts and tying two-by-fours horizontally on the structure, sort of like hanger wire,” he said.

“Between the two-by-fours we are putting 1.5 inch insulation.”

A two inch layer of insulation is then added, which covers the two by four strapping and adds more resistance to stop thermal bridging. Thermal bridging occurs when wood acts as a conduit for heat loss.

The second layer is attached to the strapping with screws and washers.

The joints are all foamed and taped, and then a low profile cladding can be installed. The cost for both the 1.5 inch and two inch insulation is $2.50

per sq. foot.

Venting is key to the process. Tuplin said most farmers deal with condensation problems in Quonsets by opening the doors and allowing temperature and humidity to equalize.

Keeping the steel under the dew point in an insulated building requires airflow, so installers will cut four inch holes 10 feet apart in the outside lower wall of the Quonset and place screen

venting over the hole. Whirlybirds on the roof draw the air through the vents and up the space between the wall and the insulation.

This keeps the temperature consistent and prevents the dew point from forming, which typically occurs at 2 C and 30 percent humidity.

“You have to keep that metal under the dew point,” Tuplin said .

The R value of the Quik-Therm

product is 25.

Farmers may have tried to use spray foam to insulate Quonsets, but Tuplin said there can be leaks around the metal bolts and washers. As well, freeze-thaw cycles mean the building can’t dry out.

Spraying is definitely less labour intensive.

However, the steel buildings are galvanized, and the protective coating has to be removed so that the

spray foam will adhere.

“Over time, it’s not a friendly thing,” Tuplin said.

Farmers might also consider that new national building codes coming into effect next year mean the interior of any commercial insulated buildings must be covered. Tuplin said this could affect what farmers choose to do, depending how they intend to use former Quonsets.

Metering disc helps corn planter seed canola Reduced static | Great Plains device uses pressurized air for improved spacing

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

Implement companies have been struggling to keep up with the recent trend of seeding canola with a corn planter.

Great Plains has a unique way of dealing with the challenge.

The company recently introduced a new metering disc, brushes and seed tube designed specifically to turn its corn planter into an accurate canola planter, according to Mike McClure, engineering manager at Great Plains.

“To begin with, the system uses pressurized air rather than a vacu-

um. We blow the seed against the disc,” McClure said.

“One of the main advantages of positive air is you don’t have to worry about minor air leaks in the system.

With a vacuum or negative air, the slightest leak throws off your singulation and spacing. Even a very small leak can cause the seed to fall off the metering disc. With positive air, you can tolerate a few minor leaks and still have the same accuracy. The compressor makes up for the loss of pressure. It’s far less sensitive, almost foolproof.”

McClure said the disc is 11 inches in diameter with 250 holes. It runs at the

relatively low speed of 20 to 35 r.p.m.

Higher r.p.m. creates greater centrifugal force and more static electricity, which can knock the lightweight canola seeds out of their pocket. The low rotational speed helps keep the seeds in place at the recommended ground speed of 5.5 m.p.h.

Static electricity is the enemy of canola seeds everywhere, so Great Plains went to great lengths to find the most static-free material available.

“We found a special compound for the bristles and metering disc and the seed tube,” he said.

“It causes the least possible amount of static. We have three brushes

inside the unit to cut off airflow or hold seed in place just before discharge. This is one of the worse places for static. The new seed tube is engineered to be totally smooth inside. There’s no hole for the seed sensor. The material is transparent so the sensor beam shines through the sides of the tube. It’s just as accurate as having a sensor hole, but it gives the seed a perfectly clean route.”

McClure said the new Air-Pro static free system was already available for small seeds such as sorghum and sugar beets. Making adjustments for canola was mainly a matter of fine tuning the bristle material.

As of next month, the new metering system will be installed on all Great Plains Yield-Pro planters with AirPro metering.

Soil samples remain important tool for prairie farmers

T

his is the time of year when we start to hear of new hybrids or varieties that yield one or two percent more or a new seed treatment that will control most of the worst seedling diseases.

These new technologies are excit-

Soil testing is highly effective when properly done. However, it has

received a bad rap and in some cases lost the faith of farmers.

The problems are mainly due to lack of training and consistency of employees collecting the samples.

This is changing as many input companies contract out the task to

companies that are equipped with modern equipment and are trained to take a core, properly handle the sample and properly package and ship it.

There are many soil testing options, but most growers do it to take a snapshot of the nitrogen levels in their soil. This is because levels can fluctuate greatly due to environmental and crop growth conditions from year to year. Other nutrient levels are important, but nitrogen is the largest contributor to yield and the largest part of most fertilizer budgets.

Nitrogen recommendations based on soil tests are most accurate when samples are taken as near to the time of seeding as possible. However, spring seeding on the Prairies is a busy time for farm customers, and soil testing doesn’t always work out.

The database that soil test laboratories use to make recommendations is based on either spring or fall soil samples.

Therefore, recommendations from fall soil tests are reliable because they take into account the process that converts unavailable nitrogen into available nitrogen through mineralization.

More than 80 percent of prairie soil samples are taken in the fall. It usually has the widest window for sampling and allows time for analysis and the purchase of fertilizer when the price is usually at its lowest.

The factors that cause the differences in fall and spring nutrient changes also determine when one should start soil sampling in the fall. As a result, it is important to understand what may influence nitrogen soil test levels from early fall to seeding.

Increased precipitation levels normally lead to higher available nitrogen in the soil.

The rise is even greater when precipitation is combined with relatively high temperatures.

The biological process called mineralization is most active under moist, warm conditions. A period of warm, moist conditions in the fall may produce a burst of nitrates into the soil.

Soil organic matter determines the amount of nitrogen that can be mineralized.

The higher the organic matter content, the greater the nitrogen release and the greater the variation in soil nitrogen from early fall to spring.

The amount of nitrogen that is mineralized often corresponds to the level of residual or background soil nitrogen.

Soil with a significant amount of nitrogen or fields with poor crop yields will tend to mineralize more than fields with less nitrogen where crop yields were good.

Nitrogen mineralization in fall tends to be higher on legume stubble

NITROGEN IN SOIL Stubble from legume crops, such as peas, mineralizes nitrogen more readily than others, and is more unpredictable in early fall. These five weeks were in September.

than cereal stubble. These fields should be sampled later because the amount of mineralization in the fall on legume stubble is unpredictable.

Perennial legumes such as alfalfa may increase soil test levels of nitrogen for several years after breaking.

Incorporation of large amounts of crop residue may lead to temporary immobilization of soil nitrate. This is especially true of high yielding cereal crops.

Leaching may also lead to a difference in fall to spring nitrogen levels. It occurs when nitrate– nitrogen is moved downward in soil water and out of the plant’s rooting zone.

The process occurs mainly in light textured soil such as loamy sand or sandy loam and where the subsoil is sandy or gravelly.

Fall soil testing and nitrogen application can start earlier than once thought, according to recent research.

Fall banding can start in mid-September on well-drained soil. On poorly drained soil, wait until soil temperatures are less than 5 or 6 C, usually by early October.

Producers should know the temperature and moisture content of their commodities as they are stored. If that co-ordinated point falls inside the no spoilage zone of the graphs, then it should be safe for five to six months. If the stored product falls into the centre area between the two zones, there is a risk of problems and the crop should be monitored. Inside the spoilage zone the crop should be aerated or turned and cooled to safe levels.

CATTLE THEFT | PREVENTION

Branding pays for producer; cattle returned

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

An eagle-eyed brand inspector played a big role last year in helping a Saskatchewan producer recover half of his stolen cattle.

Leon Hougham of Frenchman’s Butte recovered only two of his four missing bred heifers, but he said it’s been a clear lesson that it pays to brand cattle and report missing livestock.

“If you’re hesitant on branding, or not branding, this is living proof it pays to brand your animals,” said Hougham, who noticed four missing heifers when he rounded up the cattle near Glaslyn, Sask., last fall.

Hougham phoned the neighbours and then notified the brand inspectors when he couldn’t find the cattle.

“When time went on, I started losing hope. No one had seen any tracks,” said Hougham, whose pasture is 100 km from his home.

Months later, Hougham received a call from brand inspector Ken Clark at Heartland Livestock in Lloydminster, who had found a heifer with his L over H brand at the auction mart.

When brand inspectors approached Glaslyn farmer Ken Michnik, who had brought in the heifer, he couldn’t explain how he acquired the animal.

“He denied knowing anything,” said Hougham.

However, Glaslyn RCMP and brand inspector Ron Sabin from North Battleford, Sask., found another of Hougham’s heifers mixed in with a few old cows and a two-year-old steer when they visited Michnik’s farm.

“The heifer stood out like a sore thumb among the old cows and steer,” said Hougham, who found ear tags that had been cut out of his heifers lying under the loading chute.

Michnik pleaded guilty and was convicted of two counts of cattle theft.

He was ordered to pay $1,500 restitution and serve six months probation.

As well, he was given six months conditional discharge and ordered to meet probation conditions and keep the peace.

Crown prosecutor Jennifer Schmidt of North Battleford said owners never think the punishment is harsh enough for cattle theft, but every conviction helps raise awareness that it is serious.

“It frustrates producers because they think it’s a hanging offence,” said Schmidt, who was raised on a ranch near Cut Knife, Sask.

Schmidt said she has the “dubious reputation” within legal circles of taking cattle thefts seriously and ensuring they go to court.

Schmidt believes cattle theft is under-reported because producers don’t believe they have a chance of recovering their animals.

Hougham’s other two heifers were never found, but he hopes his story will be a warning to would-be thieves that they can be caught.

ANIMAL WELFARE | CODE OF PRACTICE

Ag sectors fear code violators Some balk at rules | Producers who don’t comply ruin the reputation of the entire industry

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Agricultural sectors are struggling to create animal welfare codes of practice amid tensions between producers and consumer expectations, but the reality is that not all producers will embrace the rules.

And that is a risk for sectors trying to improve their image and practices, a National Farm Animal Care conference heard Oct. 9.

Bad practices by a few could continue to be the public image of sectors committed to doing better, said Geoff Urton, manager of stakeholder relations for the British Columbia SPCA. He has been involved in developing several of the codes now being created and is impressed by the industry.

“They are doing this voluntarily, and I think they deserve credit for responding to expectations from the marketplace,” said Urton.

However, a minority of producers

will continue to insist no one can tell them how to farm.

“The bottom 10 percent of farmers are real risks to the industry on this file,” he said in an interview after his speech to the conference.

“They are the ones who will end up on YouTube if there is some atrocity happening, and for many in the general public, that will be the face of the industry, whatever good practices there are generally.”

It is an issue acknowledged by Ryder Lee, manager of federal-provincial relations with the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association. He has been involved in developing the cattle code and acknowledged it is an issue.

“I don’t know that there ever will be an answer for everyone or a way for us to convince everyone that this is important for the industry’s future,” Lee said in an interview.

“That is one of the risks, but there also are opportunities through this process.”

Dairy is the first to complete its

code of conduct, although final implementation does not come for several years.

Dairy Farmers of Canada vicepresident Ron Maynard said there will be no dairy outriders ignoring the code because system controls identify each producer.

“We need to first help the farmers that need to improve the most, those the research shows to be the bottom 25 percent,” he said.

“There will be consequences if they don’t meet the requirements.”

Maynard said the industry could eventually impose penalties or simply stop milk pickup.

“We have an advantage over other industries don’t because we know where our producers are.”

Cattle, sheep, horse, mink, fox and hog sectors are developing codes, and chicken, turkey and poultry layers are beginning.

The codes set out rules for proper handing and care of animals through the production and transportation cycle, including proper

nutrition, protection from harsh conditions, rules around transportation and in some cases housing space and conditions.

The project, financed in most cases by Agriculture Canada but industry driven, has been underway for years. Resistance often occurs at the grassroots level to consumers’ demands about how farming should operate, even if they have little knowledge of modern farming. Producers are also uneasy about potential costs and possible regulations.

Tina Widowski, a professor of applied animal behaviour and welfare at the University of Guelph and one of the scientists tapped to be part of scientific advisory committees for several code developments, said there is also scientist fatigue.

She said there are not enough scientists with expertise in the area to go around and most experts end up on several committees.

Agriculture Canada cuts to science budgets and staff are part of the reason, she added.

ANIMAL WELFARE | TRANSPARENCY

Industry must take responsibility Crisis management | Producers and processors must be up-front with the public, says consultant

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Jeff Ansell, a communications consultant who teaches companies how to deal with media during a crisis, came to an Ottawa animal care conference with two Canadian examples in mind.

One that he spoke of publicly was what not to do in a food industry crisis.

The other, which he discussed in an interview, was what to do.

Ansell told the National Farm Animal Care Council Oct. 10 that crisis management means communicating honestly when people want information, expressing regret if you are at fault, showing empathy for those affected by the incident and promising action.

Ansell said using that criteria, XL Foods in Alberta was a classic whatnot-to-do when E. coli-contaminated products came out of its beef plant in Brooks.

XL Foods did everything wrong from a crisis communications management perspective when it tried to

cope with the food safety uproar by going underground.

He said media narratives about crises typically need a victim, a villain, a hero, a witness, an expert and sometimes a “village idiot” who can become the object of ridicule.

No one died in the XL episode, but the incident resulted in the largest beef product recall in Canadian history and the temporary closing of the plant. The company was soon sold.

For days, calls to XL for information connected callers to a voice mail asking for a message.

Managers and owners did not make themselves available to answer questions or account for the tainted product.

“Respectfully, XL Foods came across as the village idiot,” said Ansell.

“XL will always be the villain, but it didn’t have to be the village idiot. It was a self-inflicted wound.”

Yet XL had a model to follow, according to Ansell.

In an interview, he said Maple L eaf Foods president Michael

Media focus was intense during the 2012 XL Foods Beef recall.

“Michael McCain gets it,” he said.

At one point in the controversy, McCain said “the last people I’m taking advice from are my accountant and my lawyer,” alluding to accountant fears of money-losing lawsuits and lawyers advising against any form of guilt admission in case it led to damage lawsuits.

“I just think he understood what had to be done and did it well,” said Ansell.

He said a heightened public and

industry focus on how animals are treated, make animal welfare crises stories inevitable.

He was critical of the current journalist model of conflict reporting but said the industry has to accept it and respond to any crisis with openness, transparency and a willingness to admit mistakes or responsibility if that is required.

“Don’t expect to win,” he responded to a Manitoba Pork question on how to deal with anti-hog lobby groups in the province.

“But at the end of the day, if you break even, it is a victory.”

ANIMAL WELFARE | PRODUCTION

Canadian groups call for action on more detailed food labels

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Clearer labels about animal welfare claims might benefit conventional farmers and livestock welfare outcomes, says a spokesperson for the British Columbia SPCA. Geoff Urton, the SPCA’s stakeholder relations manager, said the agricultural industry would gain from the transparency if labels on eggs and meat explained how farm animals were treated.

“We have a situation where people don’t understand how their food is raised and it can lead to problems on both sides,” he said.

“It can lead to people being reactive and changing their choices for no factual reason.”

The Canadian chapter of Humane Society International released a public opinion survey in early October that suggested 82 percent of Canadians want clearer animal welfare labels on food.

The poll result was based on a simplistic online question: “do you support clearer labels?” It’s hard to evaluate the significance of the poll, considering that most consumers probably support clarity on food, beverage and clothing labels.

What’s clearer is that Canadians don’t understand the words and phrases associated with animal welfare claims.

A Farmers Feed Cities survey determined last year that 81 percent of Canadians who buy free-run eggs assume the chickens wander out-

side. In fact, free-run hens are raised inside barns. Free-range hens go outside.

Humane Society International would like to see mandatory labels in Canada, detailing how the farm animal was raised.

“Current food labels do not provide consumers with enough information to make an informed choice at the grocery store,” said campaigner Sayara Thurston.

The organization said in a news release that the European Union has required labels on eggs since 2004 that indicate whether they come from caged hens, barn, free-range or organic. The initiative has increased the production of eggs from systems with higher animal welfare standards to 51 from 31 percent, it added.

Urton said more information on the label might alleviate consumer confusion in Canada and soften responses to negative animal welfare phrases such as “caged” hens.

“I think the important thing is transparency. There are pros and cons to caged and caged-free systems,” he said.

“Organizations like ours … we support cage free systems, but it’s important to represent that there are some animal welfare benefits from caged systems.”

Thurston said this is the perfect time to discuss mandatory labels in Canada’s livestock sector because the Canadian Food Inspection Agency is beginning a process called the Food Labelling Modernization Initiative.

SHEEP | DISEASE PREVENTION

Expanding sheep herds spark interest in disease prevention

JAMIE ROTHENBURGER, DVM

R

ecent expansion of the sheep industry has triggered a resurgence of interest in managing disease in these animals.

Disease of the respiratory system is a major cause of death and production-limiting illness in sheep.

There are two main diseases of the nasal cavity and sinuses in sheep: • Nasal bots — Infection occurs when flies deposit eggs in the nostrils, which hatch into the larval form.

Upon reaching maturity in several months, the larvae exit the nasal cavity and continue their development into flies in the ground. Infection is associated with nasal discharge, coughing and sneezing.

Deworming is useful for controlling this infection. Dogs and humans who have close contact with sheep can also become infected with these nasal bots, although this is thought to be rare.

• Nasal tumours — These tumours can occur spontaneously in sheep, or in the case of enzootic nasal adencarcinomas, are induced by a virus infection. Mature sheep are most often affected.

Clinical signs include nasal discharge, difficulty breathing or sneezing. Tumours of the nasal cavity are usually diagnosed during autopsy examination, but facial deformity can result from the growth and invasion of particularly large nasal tumours.

• Pneumonia (lung inflammation) can be caused by a variety of viruses, bacteria, parasites or toxins.

Viral pneumonia in lambs is linked to a group of viruses similar to bovine pneumonia, including adenovirus and parainfluenza virus 3. Unless a secondary bacterial infection occurs, most viral pneumonias are mild and self-limiting.

Ovine progressive pneumonia is a viral pneumonia that affects mature animals. Caused by ovine lentivirus, which is related to human and feline immunodeficiency viruses, this pneumonia affects all portions of the lungs.

Abnormal white blood cells accumulate in the blood vessels where air exchange occurs. Clinical signs in affected sheep include difficulty breathing and poor body condition.

transmission are important for managing the impact of these infections.

Certain types of bacteria are always present in the upper respiratory tract of healthy sheep, but bacterial pneumonia can develop in times of stress or viral infection.

Mannheimia and related bacteria are an important cause of sheep feedlot pneumonia.

Affected sheep become ill rapidly, have difficulty breathing, cough and develop a fever. Surviving lambs may develop chronic lung abscesses and adhesions between the lung and inner rib cage.

Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae’s role in sheep pneumonia is not entirely

clear. Mycoplasmas in many other species impair the normal defense mechanisms of the upper respiratory tract.

In health, microscopic cilia (small, f i n g e r- l i k e p ro j e c t i o n s ) m ov e mucous and debris up the trachea to the mouth where it can be swallowed.

Mycoplasmas stop this normal motion, resulting in accumulation of mucous and debris in the lungs and setting up a perfect environment for bacteria to grow and cause pneumonia.

Recent deaths of big horned sheep in the United States and Canada have been associated with mycoplasma, and there has been speculation that

domestic sheep are responsible for introducing the bacteria into these populations.

Respiratory disease can be diagnosed based on physical examination findings, including listening to lung sounds with a stethoscope.

In live animals, samples of mucous and fluid from the lungs can be cultured to identify the problem bacteria and help determine management decisions.

An autopsy can examine the trachea and lungs in outbreak or feedlot settings, and microscopic examination of tissues and bacterial culture can provide a diagnosis.

General factors that predispose sheep to respiratory disease include

crowding, weather, indoor air quality and stress, such as weaning, shipping and mixing groups.

Labelled respiratory vaccines for sheep are not available in Canada.

Antibiotic treatment should be given under the direction of a veterinarian and appropriate withdrawal times considered for those animals destined for slaughter.

Farmers who are concerned about respiratory disease in their flocks should consult their veterinarian to develop a management plan.

HEALTH | ANTIBIOTICS

Report adds to MRSA-livestock link, but more research needed Exposure to pig manure | Study links human infections with livestock, but researchers have not identified strains

BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A new study adds to growing concern about methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus infections associated with livestock operations.

A recently published paper links people living near pig farms or fields fertilized with pig manure with higher rates of the infection.

“I think there’s a major concern that some of these infections are becoming harder to treat and they’re becoming resistant to additional antibiotics and that we don’t really have new antibiotics coming on the market to replace those that are no longer working,” said researcher Joan Casey with the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.

Staphylococcus aureus are bacteria commonly found on skin and in noses.

Infections have typically occurred through contact with vulnerable patients in hospitals. Cases are treatable, but with MRSA, the bacteria are resistant to antibiotics, and cases are more serious.

Casey referred to an “MRSA epidemic” in the United States, with more cases of infection occurring outside of health-care facilities, as a costly burden.

An increase in cases in Canadian hospitals has been noted.

The issue raises questions about antibiotic use in livestock production. MRSA has been identified in several animals, including dairy cattle, pigs and veal calves.

“We know that MRSA, especially in the U.S., is rampant in the population and some of the issue gets clouded because the strains that we find in livestock aren’t just that livestock strain,” said Scott Weese of the University of Guelph, Ont., who studies infections.

“We find human strains in pigs and

horses and other species as well because we’re infecting them probably as much as they’re infecting us sometimes.”

Manure shed by livestock can contain the antibiotic-resistant bacteria and spread to the human population.

Contact with the animals has been identified as a risk factor.

“We basically conducted the study because we wondered if the general population might be at risk of MRSA infection due to exposure to highdensity livestock production,” said Casey.

Other researchers have identified the presence of MRSA on pig farms

and in farm workers.

In Canada, issues with beef production haven’t been identified.

MRSA has been found in a small percentage of ground beef samples, but a 2009 study was unable to find the bacteria in an Alberta feedlot, raising the possibility that contamination occurs at the processing or retail level.

For her study, Casey surveyed Pennsylvania health records from 2005-10, finding 1,539 cases of community-acquired MRSA, compared to 1,335 cases of health-care associated infections.

Of the community cases, 11 percent

can be linked to areas where crops are fertilized with pig manure.

Weese said the report fails to distinguish the strains of MRSA that are associated with livestock from the ones associated with humans.

One strain, USA300, is common, he said, while a separate one is linked with livestock cases.

“That’s one of the problems with studies like this. If you’re looking at MRSA infections, you need to differentiate the sequence types ...” he said.

“Certainly if a person has that, we need to be thinking it came from an animal or at least animals … if they

have USA300, then odds are incredibly high it came from another person.”

Casey said it’s a tough issue and more research needs to be conducted.

“We never want to leap to any strong conclusions right now. We think this is adding to the body of evidence that these livestock practices might be bad for public health, but we’re not ready to make any sweeping conclusions on this,” said Casey.

“We’d really like to see it replicated in another population, maybe in another area of the United States where there’s high pig density.”

Input sales grow revenue | $4 million in upgrades over two years allow SWT to ship 135 car trains

Gull Lake Maple Creek

Swift Current

Moose Jaw

SWT’s elevator cost $9 million to build.

Work began in late 1995, and the facility opened its doors a year and half later, receiving its first load of grain in January 1997.

Since then, storage has been expanded to 53,000 tonnes and handling equipment has been upgraded to allow for more efficient receivals and car loadings.

Reich said location had much to do with SWT’s initial success.

The inland terminal is situated 10 kilometres east of Gull Lake on the Trans-Canada Highway.

It is also served by Canadian Pacific Railway’s main line, which runs west from Regina through Moose Jaw, Sask., Swift Current, Sask., and Medicine Hat, Alta., en route to Vancouver.

The terminal has a 135-car spot, which gives CP an opportunity to ship unit trains frequently and efficiently.

The terminal draws grain from an

area that stretches 100 km east and west between Swift Current and Maple Creek, Sask., and 200 km north and south from Cabri, Sask., to the U.S. border.

The company has consistently improved its volumes, increasing from an average of less than 300,000 tonnes annually five years ago to a projected 400,000 to 420,000 tonnes this year, provided rail service and logistics can support that pace.

“If you take the last three years, our average handle would be up to 360,000 or 370,000 tonnes and we’re on target this year to be over 400, so we’ve definitely increased our turns,” Reich said.

“We’d love to say we have the potential to turn (our capacity) 10 times … but that would mean shipping a unit train every week of the year. We physically can. In the last two years we’ve put about $4 million into the elevator just to upgrade it and make it more efficient and faster so that we can load those 135s every week.”

Reich said SWT’s visibility in smaller communities gives it competitive advantages over its larger rivals.

As larger line companies centralized and withdrew from smaller communities, SWT devised a plan to invest in local communities and develop relationships with local growers who were losing elevators and farm retail services.

Today, SWT has a thriving network of satellite facilities that supply fertilizer, chemicals and other inputs to local growers.

Farm input sales through SWT’s retail arm now generate 40 percent of the company’s annual revenues.

Retail outlets are located in Gull Lake, Cabri, Hazenmore and Shaunavon, all in Saskatchewan, with additional expansions to be considered in the future.

“Right now, our crop inputs side of the operation has turned into a very large piece of our business and has really helped the company to evolve to where it is today,” Reich said.

“It’s been part of our capital investment plan to invest in our small communities. That’s why we’ve put our crop input supply businesses into those smaller communities to try and get closer to our customers.”

ALBERTA

GULL LAKE, Sask. — It’s not always easy being the little guy located between grain handling giants Viterra, Richardson International and Paterson Grain.

But Monty Reich, general manager of South West Terminal at Gull Lake, Sask., says operating an independent, farmer-owned terminal definitely has its perks.

For starters, loyalty among SWT’s farmer customers is second to none.

This year, it is expected to push the terminal’s total handlings to 400,000 tonnes, a record for the 17-year-old facility.

“It’s extremely competitive in our area … but the competition is good and I think the producers appreciate it,” Reich said.

“We’re another option for producers, and we really pride ourselves on trying to have a close relationship with all of our customers. We’ve got an open door…. We try to sit down and listen and take our customers’ questions and concerns into consideration and I think, like any smaller business, we can be a bit swifter on our feet than the bigger companies can.”

Like many independents, SWT got its start in the mid-1990s when local producers got together and took stock of the changes occurring in the grain industry.

At the time, established line companies were closing smaller, less efficient elevators and centralizing their operations at larger, more efficient facilities located strategically across the West.

Farmers in the Gull Lake area, led by a handful of key players, began looking at the possibility of starting a farmer-owned facility.

After assessing the venture’s potential, a local share offering was launched and $3 million in start-up capital was raised.

Another $1 million was generated through sales of condo storage, and a partnership agreement was signed with Cargill.

Cargill owns a 44 percent stake in the company, comprised exclusively of non-voting shares.

Local investors, who hold voting shares and serve as the company’s directors, own the remaining 56 percent. The agreement with Cargill has worked well for SWT. Cargill has taken a hands-off approach, allowing local management to steer the company in the direction it sees fit.

In exchange, SWT gains access to Cargill’s grain marketing network, its farm retail operations and port terminal space at Vancouver and Thunder Bay.

rant Young might never have discovered his talent for innovation if he had picked a more profitable line of work.

Yo u n g w a s j u s t 2 2 w h e n h e returned to his native Newfoundland in 1988 to help run the Downhomer newspaper (now a magazine and website called Downhome) founded by his father, a Toronto policeman, and some friends.

It was a hit with ex-pats wanting to keep up-to-date on doings from The Rock, but it wasn’t the most lucrative business.

“We’ve had a good circulation, but advertising has always been hard for us,” says Young.

“It’s hard to get national advertising for a niche publication, and we’re not a fit for many local advertisers.”

So Young began creating complementary businesses — and had trouble stopping.

“Necessity is the mother of invention, I guess, and we had to get into more things,” says Young. “One thing just spiralled into another.”

First came a Newfie-themed gift shop in St. John’s and then books about the province. The latter led to publishing and a mail order business. Building a website got Young into the website design and hosting business and then graphics and digital printing. And on it went.

It’s now a “lifestyle company” with 11 divisions, including Auk Island Winery, which makes “iceberg” fruit wines in Young’s childhood home of Twillingate, the iceberg capital of Canada.

But as it grew, it became harder to keep everyone in the loop. Naturally, Young found a creative solution, one that larger farm operations should consider.

Large farms are increasingly multi-family operations split into divisions, but when it comes to effective communication, it doesn’t matter whether you’re related or not.

“When you get to the point where you have divisions in your company, that causes divisions,” says Young.

“The first thing you start hearing is, ‘well, no one told me.’ Then you get people filling in that void in communication with their own version of the facts. That’s when the bickering starts.”

The problems typically start small.

A new DVD lands in the store with-

out advance warning.

You’re planning to spray but the cousin who runs the custom business never said he’d need both sprayers all next week. Each incident adds up and resentment builds. If you’re frequently hearing, “no one told me,” consider it the business equivalent of a fire alarm.

Young experienced this 15 years ago when the number of workers he employed, now at 53, hit double digits.

“When we were still seven or eight people, we got by on water cooler or hallway conversations,” says Young.

“But then that just wasn’t enough.”

Not surprisingly, he found an innovative solution. He’d once worked for a multinational chemical company that used a logbook to keep everyone informed.

Any noteworthy happenings at the plant were logged, and everyone coming on shift had to check for new entries and then initial the last one they read. The simple system chucked the no-one-told-me excuse out the window.

“Since we had different locations, a logbook wouldn’t work, so we created an intranet that we call an info database,” says Young.

“It was pretty rudimentary when it started, but it’s evolved. Now when you read it, your name is (electronically) tagged to it. It’s really become a mandate to become informed.”

An intranet is just a closed version of the internet.

At Downhome, all sorts of things go into it, everything from the employee manual to news of the latest ventures, such as a recent deal to sell Funky Puffin, Krooked Cod and other iceberg wines to China.

Not ever yone needs to know everything in the system, but if you do, it’s there.

The system works only if it’s transparent. Everyone in the company, from senior managers to part-time clerks, can see everything in the database.

“The other day we decided to put the inventory data from our winery on there,” says Young.

“The idea is it has everything you want to know. I’ve found there’s not a problem on Earth that can’t be solved with better communication.”

There are a number of intranet software programs and Young is considering creating and marketing an easy-to-use version for small businesses.

An intranet may sound too hightech for your farm, but the same could once have been said about futures trading on your smartphone while riding in your GPS-controlled tractor.

As in every business, the most precious commodity on today’s farms is time, which means you need a smarter way to use it and ensure no one gets left out of the loop.

The former slaughter and processing plants known as Natural Valley Farms are expected to re-open within months under the Qu’Appelle Beef banner.

The Saskatchewan facilities near Neudorf and Wolseley, respectively, opened in 2005 and went into receivership in the fall of 2008 after accumulating debt of $25 million. They continued to operate for several months before closing in 2009.

Jason Aitken, who works in the financial industry in Toronto, is the new company’s president.

He bought the assets out of receivership in February 2012.

A year earlier, his company bought land around the Neudorf plant to operate as a separate farming facility.

The company also owns the adjacent feedlot, as well as ranches in Montana under the Northern Natural Holdings name.

Work has been underway for most of this year on upgrading the Saskatchewan facilities.

“Both plants were always heated so there wasn’t damage or frozen water lines or anything like that,” said general manager Jamie Jurgensen.

“Basically what we’re doing is all new plumbing. We’re putting in a

$

reverse osmosis water system. We’re adding some new equipment.”

The company is also changing how the cattle enter the plant to use holding pens approved by renowned U.S. cattle behaviour expert Temple Grandin.

“We’re being very conscious of animal welfare and keeping animals stress free prior to harvesting,” Jurgensen said.

Other changes include additional refrigeration capacity in both plants.

He said the water system is key to the operating plan. Water used in the slaughter plant will go through the waste treatment plant and into storage lagoons. After testing by Saskatchewan Environment, it will be used to irrigate the company’s cropland.

The Neudorf facility can handle 250 head per day. Jurgensen said operations will likely begin with cull cows, but Qu’Appelle Beef plans to target niche retail markets.

Jurgensen wouldn’t say what type of cattle the company will be looking for from producers.

“We’ve been working with a number of producers already and starting the dialogue with what the criteria will be,” he said.

“It’ll be what the customer is requesting and we’ll target those areas.”

He said a small packer such as

Qu’Appelle Beef can add value to the chain right from producer to consumer.

Unlike the first operator, Jurgensen said the company will not claim to have a natural product.

Qu’Appelle Beef expects to employ 120 people at the two locations. Plant supervisors, quality control staff and other key positions have been filled, and Jurgensen said the response from local people to employment advertising has been good.

His background includes a career in beef and pork packing in the United States. He owned a 25 percent share in an Iowa plant, which he sold in 2008.

One of the criticisms of Natural Valley was the distance between the slaughter plant in Neudorf and cutting plant in Wolseley. For now, the two plants will stay where they are, he said.

“It would be more efficient if the plants were at one location, but there’s some definite advantages to having them separate,” Jurgensen said.

“You get into cross-contamination and some HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) and quality control issues if the harvest plant and the cutting plants are together. Some of the segregation actually helps in food safety.”
