The Calgary Stampede has given one-year suspensions to anyone involved in handling the winning steer disqualified from its Steer Classic this summer because of drug use. Under suspension are: the steer’s owners, Royden Anderson of Didsbury, Alta., and Riley Chalack of Carstairs, Alta.; cattle fitters Raymond Gonnet and Chris Wilson of Iowa; and Trausch Farms of Carroll, Iowa, where the fitters work. “This letter serves to inform you that as a result of your involvement with disqualified steer CS#377 from the 2013 Calgary Stampede Steer Classic, you have been placed on a one year suspension from entering, showing, competing, being affiliated with or being associated with any animal at Stampede Park,” wrote Max Fritz, the Stampede’s

director of agriculture. Anderson said it seems like the Stampede is taking the “shotgun approach” to sanctions, hoping to hit the right person. “For me, the Stampede has dragged a lot of innocent people in this and have not respected the agricultural or scientific community by grasping to fit facts to justify their position,” said Anderson. “They have caused a lot of damage and emotional strain on people involved.” Blood samples were taken from the reserve and grand champion steer after the Calgary Stampede steer show in July and sent to a lab specializing in horse drug testing. The steer tested positive for small amounts of the approved drugs flunixin and ibuprofen. Anderson said the owners originally thought they had given the steer Banamine, the trade name for flu-

nixin, for a lingering foot injury, after receiving approval from the Stampede veterinarians for its use. However, they later realized that while they had asked for permission, no drugs were given during the rush of the show. Dr. Patricia Dowling, professor of clinical pharmacology at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine and an expert in drug testing, said the

Stampede’s tests have no scientific validity and the amount of drug found is the equivalent to a “whiff.” Stampede officials said they have a zero tolerance level and upheld the disqualification after appeal. Robert Trausch, owner of Trausch Farms, said he doesn’t know why his farm was named in the suspension. The farm wasn’t part of any ownership of the calf and didn’t have any connection with the disqualified steer. Trausch said the suspension would affect future cattle sales to Canada. “That’s going to cause damage for us, selling cattle and semen in Canada. It’s going to kill any sales we got going up to Canada and it’s going to have a negative effect,” said Trausch, who believes his farm became tangled in the net of steer show politics and bad blood.

Sanctions catch many Gonnet said he was shocked to receive a phone call from a Calgary Stampede staff member, who read his suspension letter over the phone. “How can I get a suspension when it’s the first time anyone has been in contact with me?” asked Gonnet.He travelled from the U.S. to Canada to fit cattle during the Stampede. “I fit the cattle’s legs. That’s what I do. That’s my job,” he said. “I asked, ‘is the calf being disqualified for illegal drug use or illegal fitting. Why am I being disqualified?’ ” He also worries the sanction will create problems for his Canadian show calf customers, who have already bought cattle and semen for upcoming Canadian shows. “That’s taken a whole other year of business away from me.” Wilson said he doesn’t know why he was sanctioned by the Stampede. “I was just up there taking in the show and fitting cattle,” said Wilson, who helped fit the winning steer. Wilson said he has taught 1,600 children across the U.S. and Canada how to fit, show and feed cattle to win shows. “It sounds like there is quite a witch hunt up there. I was just up there helping fit a steer.” The suspension is from Aug. 2, 2013, to Aug. 2, 2014. Anderson said he is unsure if he and Chalack want to pursue the disqualification and sanctions further. “This very well could have started a bigger fight than they anticipated, when clearly the steer and people involved were innocent and proven to be innocent.”

U.S. streamlines BSE international trade policies Reforms to risk classifications draw fire from R-CALF

The United States has published a new rule that streamlines its BSE trade policies and brings it in line with international guidelines. “It doesn’t create the access in and of itself, but it clears the way of an impediment,” said John Masswohl of the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association. Canada received special access using made-in-the-U.S. specifications in 2005 to allow borders to open on a limited basis after BSE was found in 2003. However, the U.S. had to reform its rules when the World Animal Health Organization (OIE) changed its BSE classification system from five categories to the three of controlled, minimal and undetermined risk. “The current U.S. regulations with regard to the importation of live bovines and bovine products are not consistent with the OIE guidelines,” said a statement from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. “This rule would demonstrate to the international community the commitment of the United States to base its BSE regulations on internationally accepted scientific literature.” The rule also addresses a court case filed by R-CALF in 2008, in which a South Dakota judge ruled the USDA had to rewrite some of the rule regarding beef from cattle older than 30 months. The U.S. had agreed to allow more open trade in 2007. “This rule is now the end of that

judge’s order. USDA rolled that rulemaking into this global rule,” Masswohl said. The rule also eases trade deals with the European Union. Nearly all members of the EU have controlled risk or negligible status, but it was not recognized and the U.S. did not import beef from them. If Canada imported European beef, it would jeopardize its trade relations with the U.S. “This paves the way for Canada and the U.S. to co-ordinate on recognizing the status of other controlled and negligible risk countries,” he said. R-CALF said the rule allows American packers to supplement tight beef supplies with cheaper meat from Europe, where some BSE cases are still found. American consumers are at risk if BSE persists in Europe, it added, which is further reason for maintaining a strict country-of-origin labelling law so that people can avoid buying meat from at-risk countries. “This irresponsible action by USDA underscores the need for country-oforigin labelling, which is presently under attack by meat packers and the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association in the federal court system, by members of Congress in the 2013 farm bill, and by foreign countries at the World Trade Organization,” said an R-CALF statement. The rule goes into effect 90 days after publication. More information can be found on the USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Services website at www.aphis.usda.gov.

Military solution creates farm problem Elk invasion | Producers concerned about roaming herds of elk that cause damage to farmland surrounding CFB Suffield

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

A decision to replace wild horses with wild elk at Canadian Forces Base Suffield in southern Alberta has turned into a disaster similar to introducing rabbits to Australia. With no control plan, the 221 original elk transplanted to the base 20 years ago are now estimated to number 4,500 to 5,000, and the population doubles every five years. “We don’t mind elk, but the sheer numbers scare us,” said Brad Osadczuk of Jenner, Alta. While the core of the elk herd stays within the 2,600 sq. kilometres of the base, a growing number of elk are leaving Suffield, one of the largest military bases in the world, for the lush grass and crops on nearby farms and ranches. It’s not uncommon to see herds of 1,000 wintering on nearby ranches. Jim Hearn of Bindloss, Alta., said he tries to manage and care for his grassland but is frustrated when the giant herds of elk come through like a cultivator. “With their cloven hooves, they cut off the grass. Six hundred elk coming in really wrecks the place and that’s my livelihood, the grass,” said Hearn. “It’s not uncommon to have 600 to 800 elk coming into the alfalfa. It’s not a good situation.” The elk were transplanted to the base from Elk Island National Park as part of the park’s elk control program. The wild horses were removed from the base in 1994 and replaced with elk, believed to be a more suitable animal for the southern Alberta grassland. Jeff Lewindowski of Jenner, Alta., said the elk have developed a taste for the oats and corn he planted for winter grazing for his cattle. He estimates the elk have ruined about 20 percent of the crop by using the fields as bedding or to rub their velvety antlers. “I have the water and crop they’re after,” he said. Ranchers also spend thousands of hours and thousands of dollars repairing fences. “ T h e y d o n ’ t j u m p, t h e y r u n through,” said Osadczuk, adding that herds can rip wire from a quarter mile of posts. Hearn estimates fence repair costs $1,500 a month in time and labour for him or his help. “I fix the fence two or three times a week,” said Hearn, frustrated by the lack of action from the military to control the elk that are becoming a plague. “I’ve gone to 10 meetings at the base, and they hash it around and do another study,” he said. “Farmers and ranchers are stewards of the land, but no one wants to contact us. It’s getting very, very frustrating.” University of Calgary professor Cormack Gates was hired by the military in 2011 to do an “issues assessment” with landowners around the base. As part of the assessment, Gates made three recommendations of how to manage the herd and have better public engagement with surrounding landowners. The military

Farmers near the Suffield military base in southern Alberta say the only way to control the surging elk population is to create and enforce a strict herd reduction strategy. | FILE PHOTO has partially adopted one of the recommendations and has started to cull some of the cows within the base. Last year, 200 permits were allotted for four special hunts of female elk in November and December. This year, it has increased the permits to 300 female elk, allotting 100 tags to hunters every week for three weeks as a way to help reduce the population. “We do take this seriously,” said Michelle Hauck, the base public affairs officer. “This year, 300 tags were issued through Fish and Wildlife, operating concurrently with the hunt outside the base. If the elk leave the base, there is a good chance they can be taken on the other side. We have a very large herd.” However, Dale Eslinger, a retired senior wildlife biologist with Alberta Sustainable Resource Development, said 200 females could be killed if 300 tags were issued. Having the female elk hunt inside the base is a start to controlling the problem but a long way from counteracting the 1,000 elk born on the base each year, he added. “Ideally you need to cut the herd in half.” Relying on hunters to control elk from outside the perimeter has been unsuccessful. The elk, wary of getting shot at, become nocturnal, leaving the base in the dark and returning before dawn to its safe refuge, he said. Lewandowski said hunters patrolling the base from his land have shot only one bull elk since the hunting season opened Sept. 4. “The elk come onto my land at night and are gone by daylight.” Lewandowski said the military’s decision to control the elk through hunting is transferring responsibility to landowners, who receive calls from 50 hunters a month wanting to shoot the trophy animals. “It’s a full-time job dealing with hunters,” he said. “The military dropped the ball. They don’t want to take responsibility and now it’s up to landowners to control the problem.” Hearn has devised his own system of allowing small groups of hunters on his land on specific days as a way to improve the chances of the hunters shooting an elk and helping reduce traffic through his ranch. “If I didn’t, there’d be 10 trucks driving across the fields.” Before he retired in July, it was Eslinger’s job with the provincial government to work with base staff to try and control the elk population. “I was given open direction to get something done.” However, he said the national defence department cut the budget before a control plan could be developed and implemented, and the project was dropped. “The military’s attitude is the population would be taken care of as they wander off the base,” he said. “It was very frustrating for me personally.… This one has been hard to crack. The spirit of co-operation to go ahead has to be there.” He said military training, rather than elk management, is the base priority. Soldiers from around the world come to the base to practice their military exercises. Eslinger said the only way to control the population is to reduce the number of cows substantially. There is no public appetite to have a mass slaughter of elk, but he said the number of animals will slowly be controlled over five to 10 years by creating a strict herd reduction strategy and sticking to it. “It’s something of a travesty that something hasn’t been done to work this out yet. It really does need some attention.” In an area known for drought, Osadczuk worries ranchers will be forced out of business. “If it gets dry, we’re in trouble. The way the herd is getting so big so fast, we’re really getting worried. We’re afraid it will be too late before anyone takes us seriously.”

FERTILIZER | PURCHASING

Fertilizer prices expected to rebound Market oversupplied | Prices nearing a bottom, but cheap exports continue to flood market

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Fertilizer prices are nearing a floor, says an industry analyst. “By the time we get to December, we’re going to see the bottom of the market and it will kind of drift sideways through January and probably early February,” said David Asbridge, senior economist with NPK Fertilizer Advisory Service. “And then, of course, we do expect kind of a pickup, a seasonal run up in prices.” There have been reports of a dramatic reduction in fall fertilizer purchases in Western Canada as farmers wait for prices to firm up, but that hasn’t been the experience for the region’s biggest retailer. “Sales in Western Canada for fertilizer have actually been normal to probably a little above normal,” said Richard Downey, spokesperson for Agrium Inc. It is a very different story south of the border. “In the United States, it’s clearly well behind normal, really, for all three nutrients, but particularly for potash and phosphate fall application,” he said. Asbridge said U.S. farmers have been delaying purchases because of a late harvest and a reluctance to buy into a falling market. “Everybody is on the sidelines just

waiting to see what’s going to happen next,” he said. Prices for all nutrients are down because of an oversupply of product. PotashCorp president Bill Doyle blamed customers’ “hand-tomouth” buying on Russian potash producer Uralkali, which pulled out of a Black Sea marketing cartel and sent fertilizer prices plummeting. “We have seen a lot of people over the years in charge of billions of dollars of assets in the fertilizer world do some pretty silly things, but this is probably the single dumbest thing that I’ve ever seen,” Doyle told investment analysts during the company’s third quarter earnings conference call. Uralkali has been increasing its potash production. Asbridge estimates the manufacturer is selling potash to the Chinese for $350 per tonne or lower since the breakup of the cartel compared to the last official cartel contract price of $400 per tonne. The flood of cheap Chinese urea exports is another big factor in fertilizer markets. Asbridge estimates that the country’s manufacturers will ship a record 7.5 to eight million tonnes this year. PotashCorp thinks it will be higher than that. “We expect that there are going to be somewhere between nine and 10 million tonnes of (Chinese) urea

You’re going to see a major rebound in demand for not only potash but the other fertilizers as well.

BILL DOYLE POTASHCORP PRESIDENT

exports,” Stephen Dowdle, president of PCS Sales, said during the PotashCorp conference call. China is talking about reducing or eliminating its high tax on fertilizer exports, which is a sure sign the country is producing far more urea and phosphate than it can use. “So we do expect that these higher levels, of certainly urea exports, will continue in 2014. And the world is going to have to adjust to these increased volumes,” said Dowdle. Doyle said fertilizer is the most affordable it has been in nine years. A DTN survey of U.S. retailers

shows that urea prices dropped 26 percent from last year, ammonia has dropped 22 percent, potash 20 percent and DAP 17 percent. Doyle thinks it is only a matter of time before prices bounce back, probably before next year’s crop is planted. Demand is expected to be strong because this year will likely generate the second highest net farm income in the U.S. “ Yo u ’ re g o i n g t o s e e a maj o r rebound in demand for not only potash but the other fertilizers as well,” said Doyle. Asbridge is advising clients who usually apply fall fertilizer to consider buying product now. Otherwise, they could face the possibility of fertilizer shortages come spring or a repeat of 2013, where they couldn’t get onto their waterlogged fields. He doesn’t believe prices are likely to fall much further than they have already, but those who are interested in spring application might still want to wait until December or January in case prices drop some more. “There’s really not much upside to any of these markets,” he said. Asbridge expects U.S. growers will reduce corn plantings by three to five million acres, which will reduce overall fertilizer demand. However, he agreed that the pent-up fall demand could push prices up once it materializes.

CALGARY — When the Conservative party policy convention opened Nov. 1 with an Alberta-inspired motion to end supply management in an “orderly” transition, agriculture minister Gerry Ritz was prepared. During a delegates-only policy workshop closed to media, Ritz led the opposition to the proposal from four Alberta riding associations. “He took the resolution, chewed it up and spit it out,” said one observer in the room. “Up one side of them and down the other.” The proposal was overwhelmingly rejected, and the Conservative party position remains strongly supportive of supply management, despite pockets of skepticism. Ritz said in a Nov. 2 interview that as agriculture minister, it was his job to lead the debate. Convention observer and New Democratic Party MP Peter Julian argued that the anti-supply management resolution would hurt the party image with dairy and chicken farmers, but Ritz said it was simply an indication that the party allows debate. “You will see diversity of opinion, some of it not based on actual fact,” he said. “They fall for some of the stories they are seeing about having extra costs and all those things, but at the end of the day, common sense comes through.” Ritz said there is a strong case to be made that the Conservative party, despite its anti-protectionist Reform base, should support supply management. “It is not hard to convince people that this is a market driven (system), they draw their returns from the marketplace and they are not in any way interfering in us moving forward on a free trade agenda,” he said. “We don’t see them as a barrier to trade at all.” Dairy Farmers of Canada president Wally Smith, who attended the convention as an observer, said rejection of the proposed policy change on supply management was welcome, despite DFC opposition to concessions made by Canada in trade negotiations with the European Union over cheese imports. He suggested it puts to rest fears that the government’s support for supply management may be weakening. “The delegates have spoken,” said Smith. “It soothes the pain a little bit.” Julian argued it shows poor management by the Conservatives. “It clearly is not smart politics to alienate dairy and chicken farmers, particularly when there is a trade deal that has raised some industry concerns,” he said. “I think this is just part of a broader indication that the Prime Minister’s Office is in disarray and events are out of control.” Saskatchewan Conservative MP Randy Hoback disagreed. He said the fact that the resolution made it to the convention simply reflects “the grassroots of our party at work.”

Canada lags U.S. cattle prices Tight supply drives prices | COOL restricts access to U.S., discouraging Canadian expansion

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Cow-calf producers could be in the money for the next couple years, but outside influences are keeping Canadian prices lower than what they should be. A dollar at 95 to 96 cents US and the impacts of mandatory countryof-origin labelling set back Canadians by $20 to $25 per head compared to U.S. feeders, says one market analyst. People may not realize the extent of the negative impact of the labelling law because prices are generally better than they were a year ago, said Brian Perillat of Canfax. “They see prices are better and think we must be OK, but our prices should be higher than they are,” he said. “Ou r c a l f p r i c e s a re n ’ t h i g h enough for expansion at all. They may be holding steady at best.” Extremely tight cattle supplies in the U.S. resulted in record fed cattle prices of $132-$134 per hundredweight across much of the United States for the last two weeks. Canada also set a record for the same period with fats selling for up to $124 per cwt. “In Canada, we did set a record but at quite a discount. If you consider the dollar, we had over a $16 discount to the United States,” he said. Traditionally, Canadian fed cattle are at the steepest discount, or widest basis, in early autumn but the basis narrows and Canadian and

THE TOTAL U.S. KILL IN THE LAST PART OF OCTOBER WAS THE LOWEST SINCE

1971 U.S. prices get closer in November. “This time of year we start strengthening the basis, and that will be a better test to see if this COOL is having an impact. September to October is generally the time of our weakest basis and our biggest discount,” he said. Another factor weighing down Canadian prices is Tyson Foods’ announcement that it would no longer accept “C class” cattle from Canada, citing COOL as the reason. These are cattle exported direct for slaughter to the U.S. The company will still accept Canadian born cattle that were fed in the U.S. but is likely to pay less for them. The reduced price is passed on to primary producers. However, the small North American cow herd is the greatest problem for the industry. Perillat predicts the Canadian cow herd numbers will be down again when Statistics Canada issues its next livestock herd report in January. Meanwhile, drought in the U.S. dramatically reduced the beef cow herd in that country.

Texas has the largest beef herd in the United States and its cow herd is about four million head, down from more than five million three years ago. Slaughter numbers in the fall are usually supplemented by increased kill of culled cows, but that that is not happening this year. T h e s u p p l y o f b e e f c ow s f o r slaughter is expected to remain tight through the end of the year and into next spring, said the analysis firm Paragon Economics. With fewer fed and non-fed cattle available, the total U.S. kill in the last part of October was the lowest since 1971, according to Paragon. U.S. Department of Agriculture statistics for the week ending Oct. 19 showed the cow slaughter for the week was 118,650 head, down 12 percent from a year ago. Total U.S. cow slaughter for the year is down 20 percent compared to the previous year. The slaughter situation is similar in Canada. Canfax reported that weekly fed slaughter in Western Canada was less than 30,000 head last week for the first time in 10 weeks. So far this year, Canadian fed and non fed slaughter is down three percent and total beef production is down four percent. With the reduced slaughter and smaller carcass sizes, beef supplies are tight and prices have been high all year. The U.S. wholesale price in the spring hit an all time record at $210

CATTLE PRICES SET RECORDS With the smallest U.S. cattle herd since the early 1950s and the smallest Canadian herd since the early 1990s, beef production is down and cattle and beef prices are setting records this year. Carcass weights are also down, partly as a result of the loss of Zilmax. Alberta fed steers posted a new record average price of $123.66 per cwt. last week, topping the previous record of $122.70 set in the 23rd week of the year.

Producer cars help access premium markets

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

The door to the U.S. market isn’t shut, but marketers say it’s a lot harder to squeeze through than it was at harvest time. However, there are still opportunities to move crop south to avoid the congested Canadian system and find decent prices. “We’ve been doing mega-amounts of rail cars on short lines,” said grain broker Allan Johnston of Welwyn, Sask. “It’s almost all U.S. buyers.… It’s congested but it will work through the system.” Brian Voth of Agri Trend Marketing in Ste. Agathe, Man., said the U.S. corn and soybean harvests have now caused congestion in the U.S. grain elevator and railway system. However, end users are still trying to draw in the grain they need, which is helping Canadian prairie grain pass through the clogs. “There’s been a lot of (winter wheat and oats) going down,” said Voth. “The quality was high enough that it could go straight into milling.” Low protein levels in U.S. wheat created a powerful demand for high protein wheat and durum from Canada. Oats are in short supply in the core Midwest processing region. Voth said producer cars have been a terrific way to move grain this fall because of the allocation preference they receive. Some of his clients own a producer car loading site and have used it well this crop year. “When they order producer cars, they’re at the facility in seven to 10 days, they load them and they’re out,” said Voth. “We’ve managed to get some good

deals, both going into the United States and Thunder Bay.” Johnston said he has done lots of business shipping rail cars with high protein and high quality prairie grain to U.S. buyers, but hasn’t been shipping by truck. “I think the demand is further south (than can be affordably served by truck),” said Johnston. “We haven’t had anyone tell us they want to pick it up.” Voth has been able to ship directly by truck to U.S. buyers because southeastern Manitoba is much closer to processors than the rest of the Prairies. “The trip isn’t that big a deal to us,” said Voth. The U.S. market was a handy relief valve for prairie crops during the rush of harvest as the Canadian system filled up with grain but before the big U.S. corn and soybean crops were harvested. It’s less easy to skip around Canadian problems by going south now that those big U.S. crops are pressing against U.S. transportation system capacity, said Darcy Caners of FarmLink Marketing. “There doesn’t seem to be a silver bullet for this problem,” said Caners. “We’ve got enough crop to handle full-out until next crop comes in.” The system has limited capacity and is having trouble keeping up, whether crop moves by producer car or through the elevator network. Johnston said he thinks farmers need to actively move what they can because logistics relief won’t come soon. “I’m encouraging growers to get the heck at it because the system is so overloaded,” said Johnston.

Canadian farmers have used producer cars this fall to avoid congested prairie elevators and access attractive U.S. markets. | FILE PHOTO To him, the happiest phenomenon this year is seeing how well the short lines and producer car capacity are being used without the influence of CWB. “We used to have to line up and get a quote and wait for the wheat board to allocate the cars,” said Johnston. “Now we just order them.”

The USDA’s September report had production at 13.843 billion bu. The poll’s soybean production estimate is 3.221 billion bu. based on a yield of 42.407 bu. per acre and a harvested area of 75.928 million acres. In September, the USDA pegged the soybean crop at 3.149 billion bu. Traders also expect the department will increase its export and consumption estimates because American soybeans and corn have been flying out the door to China and other international buyers. With production and use up, the most interesting part will be the department’s expectations on ending stocks. The average of a Reuters poll of analysts put U.S. corn stocks at 2.029 billion bu., up from the September USDA estimate of 1.855 billion bu. The poll pegged soybean ending stocks at 172 million bu., up from the September USDA figure of 150 million bu. Wheat ending stocks were 519 million bu. in the poll, down from 561 million bu. in September. Analysts also expect the USDA will forecast larger global 2013-14 crop production than in the September report. Downward pressure on oilseeds is coming from expectations that South America will have a record 2013-14 soybean crop thanks to increased

seeded area and expectations for normal weather, with no La Nina or El Nino. Fewer corn acres are expected in South America because current prices barely cover the cost of production. In global wheat production, a production decline in Argentina will

likely be offset by increased estimates for Canada and Kazakhstan. The USDA report will establish the market mindset for the rest of

the calendar year, after which South American weather, U.S. export pace and speculation about Northern Hemisphere seeding

plans will start to dominate.

CANADIAN INTERNATIONAL GRAINS INSTITUTE | TRAINING FUNDS

Funds allow CIGI to train in Africa North Africans unable to travel to Canada can learn how to use durum, wheat and pulse crops

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Canadian durum will be promoted in North Africa in a much more direct way, thanks to new funding for an overseas training program. It will also help turn Morocco into a major regional player in the North African durum industry, said Earl Geddes, chief executive officer of the Canadian International Grains Institute. “Many, many more people will see Canadian durum, Canadian spring wheat, Canadian pulses than ever saw it coming here (to Winnipeg),” Geddes said about the $6.4 million in funding from the federal foreign affairs, trade and development department, which will allow CIGI staff to train North African millers in a grain institute there. “It lets us open up a whole new face for Canada for many more people.” CIGI has brought foreign millers and food processors to its Winnipeg training institute and technical training centre to instruct them in the fin-

er points of Canadian wheat, durum and pulse grains. Thousands of people from dozens of countries have spent time at CIGI. It has offered dedicated training to groups of Moroccan, Tunisian and Algerian millers, as it has for millers and food processors from many countries. In the past year it has offered a joint North African milling program. However, Geddes said many North Africans haven’t been able to come to Canada because of the limited capacity of CIGI courses and funding and because of security controls that prevent some North Africans from getting visas. For instance, Libya is a good market and a hopeful sales target for Canadian durum. However, most Libyan millers can’t get visas to come to Canada, especially now that the United States has say over who can fly to North America. CIGI hasn’t trained Libyan millers for 15 years, Geddes said. The new CIGI program is being

However, those skills will also help it better use Canadian durum to produce better products. Morocco is hoping to export more durum products to Europe but needs to produce top-quality products to be successful in that market. As a result, the CIGI training program will likely help Moroccans buy Canadian durum, process it and then export it north. “A significant amount (of Moroccan pasta and cous cous) goes into France. It’s the only way I can see getting Canadian durum into France,” said Geddes. “And you can’t put poor quality stuff into France.” The CIGI training will take place in a grain milling institute in Casablanca, which until recently was mothballed. Almost all the money will pay for training Moroccans in Canada to go back to Morocco and pass on their knowledge, as well as for CIGI to provide two two-week courses per year at the Casablanca institute. Almost all the necessary equipment already exists at the institute. The federal funding will allow CIGI to offer its program in Casablanca for five years. Geddes said the hope is to initially train North and West Africans in Casablanca and then later invite some of them to Winnipeg for further training.

India’s push for pulse duty will raise prices, hurt poor

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

There is a growing chorus of voices calling on the Indian government to reinstate a duty on imported pulses. Earlier this year, India’s food ministry came out in favour of a 7.5 percent duty. That was down from the 10 percent suggested by the Commission for Agriculture Costs and Prices. The latest government sector to join the fray is India’s department of agriculture, which is pushing for a duty of between 10 and 20 percent. The decision rests with India’s cabinet and the finance department, said Stat Publishing editor Brian Clancey. “There is no signal from the government that they’re going to bring duties in,” he said. There is an existing five percent duty on pulses, but every year since the 2007-08 world food crisis the government has exempted pulse importers from paying any duty. Clancey thinks the coming 2014 general election in India is generating momentum for a reversal in that policy. “It’s a play for the farm vote.” A duty would raise the price of imported product and encourage domestic production of the crops. Some observers feel a duty could be re-introduced as soon as the next budget in early 2014. “The trade in India thinks that given the amount of chatter, how many departments are weighing in on this,

BRIAN CLANCEY MARKET ANALYST

that this may become inevitable.” However, any change in agricultural policy won’t be made without a wide-ranging debate in a country where agriculture makes newspaper headlines daily. “Pushback is developing all over the place, so we’ll see,” said Clancey. The argument in favour of a duty is that it is needed to encourage domestic production and to boost prices farmers receive. “The counter argument is that we need this like a hole in the head because it’s going to drive up the cost to the poor who are undernourished as it is,” said Clancey. He said it’s possible that the government may hike import duties to protect farmers and then turn around and help out impoverished consumers through increased food program subsidies, but that would be an expensive proposition. India is Canada’s top pulse customer. Clancey said a duty doesn’t necessarily mean India would buy less, but it would likely mean consumers would have to pay more and the majority can’t afford it.

MARKETS CANFAX REPORT RECORD FED PRICE Alberta fed steers posted a new record high average price of $123.66 per hundredweight last week, topping the previous record of $122.70 set in early June. Steers were up $1.42 from the previous week. Heifers averaged $123.46, up $1.90. Dressed trade was $208-$209 per cwt. delivered. Rarely, if ever, have annual price highs been set in October. The new records in Canada and the United States reflect the tight number of market-ready cattle and declining carcass weights. Western Canadian steer carcass weights were 873 pounds, the lowest since Aug. 3. Trade volume slipped below 30,000 head for the first time in 10 weeks. The Alberta fed cash-to-futures basis weakened to -$16.43. Weekly fed exports to Oct. 19 totalled 8,332 head. Tight supply and reduced slaughter will continue this month. The usual trend for this time of year is for fed prices to rise and the cash-to-futures basis to narrow. the year and might have peaked for the season. Alberta sales volumes rose 18 percent to 90,278 head. Prices for calves lighter than 400 pounds fell significantly.

Feeder steers heavier than 800 lb. were mostly steady to $1 lower, while heifers over 800 lb. were $1.25-$2.25 lower. Weekly feeder exports to Oct. 19 fell 25 percent to 5,446 head. Special calf sales are winding down and auction volumes are anticipated smaller. With the first large wave of fall calves now in feedlots, buyer interest could soften until new bunk space becomes available. Calf prices could struggle while heavy feeder prices should firm on tight supply and good demand.

More cattle go on feed as corn falls Sept. placements up | Feedlot supply, however, remains at 15 year low CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — The number of cattle placed in U.S. feedlots in September increased one percent from a year earlier, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said. Analysts attributed the rise to lower-priced corn, which reduced the cost of fattening cattle in feedlots. Also, higher prices for slaughterready cattle improved margins and drew more animals into feedlots. Analysts viewed the report as neutral to mildly bullish for Chicago Mercantile Exchange live cattle futures. “There was not much difference between the estimates. It is pretty neutral for the market,” said Ron Plain, a University of Missouri livestock economist. The USDA showed September placements at 2.025 million head, up one percent from 2.004 million a year earlier. Analysts, on average, expected a 1.2 percent increase. Although up from last year, September placements were the second lowest for the month since USDA began the current data series in 1996. The placement data suggests the trend of low placements will continue into the first half of 2014, which should help support deferred CME live cattle futures. There were 10.144 million head in U.S. feedlots Oct. 1, down eight percent from a year earlier. Analysts, on

The supply has been declining and is now at the lowest level for the month in 15 years. The number of cattle marketed to packers in September was up six percent from a year earlier at 1.695 million head. Analysts had forecast a 4.1 percent rise. Cattle are entering U.S. packing plants slightly thinner than a year ago as feedlots rush the animals to market to cash in on record-high prices and are no longer feeding them the growth promotant Zilmax, analysts and economists said. The lighter cattle produce less beef at a time when there are fewer cattle going to slaughter. The combination of less beef and fewer cattle should mean record fed cattle and beef prices at least through the coming year, analysts said. During the week of Oct. 5, the latest weight data from the USDA showed steer weights on a carcass basis at 875 pounds, down five lb. from the same period a year ago. During that same period, heifers shed 11 lb. to 796 lb.

Weekly western Canadian non-fed slaughter to Oct. 26 fell 16 percent to 7,864 head. Non-fed exports to Oct. 19 fell three percent to 6,462 head. Cow volumes will continue large but strong demand will support prices. As U.S. fed cattle prices rose, boxed beef was pushed $4.10-$4.40 per cwt. higher. Choice was $205.17 and Select was $190.08. The market was looking for Choice to test $210, but buyer resistance appeared to be rising. U.S. cattle slaughter rose one percent to 624,000 head, but was three percent lower than a year ago.

OPINION

CRAIG’S VIEW

Benefits to EU trade deal outweigh dairy compromise he Conservative party has long wanted to improve Canada’s trade opportunities, but with World Trade Organization negotiations wallowing and efforts to expand regional trade plodding, progress was uninspiring. Trade deals with Liechtenstein, Panama and Honduras spark little excitement. But that changed with the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement with the European Union, a market with 500 million mostly well off consumers. The details are not settled and it will take years to be ratified and come into effect. But from what we know now, this agreement will be a boon to agricultural trade. Most segments of Canada’s industry — beef, pork, and grain — hail the deal. Most dairy farmers are not happy. In the give and take of trade negotiations, Canadian dairy farmers and cheese makers are the givers. The deal increases duty free access for European cheese by 16,800 tonnes to a total of about 30,000 tonnes. The deal covers high-end specialty cheese and the access represents 32 percent of that market. The Dairy Farmers of Canada says small, artisan cheese makers will struggle to survive pitted against EU cheese made from cheap milk supplied by subsidized European farmers. If Canadian cheese makers lose market share, they will buy less milk from Canadian dairy farmers. Of course, Canada’s dairy farmers have their own support system — supply management — that allows them to control the amount and price of milk produced here, virtually guaranteeing a profitable business for efficient producers. The disruption created by the new access will lessen over time as Canada’s cheese demand increases by about 8,000 tonnes a year. Also, artisan cheese is arguably a market sympathetic to “eating local” and field-to-plate promotions. And if sales are damaged, the government promises compensation. The dairy sector got off lightly. The Conservatives could have sided

T

with ever-louder domestic voices critical of supply management and used the trade deal as cover to kill the system. But as prime minister Stephen Harper has said, Canadian negotiators gave the dairy sector a victory: a major international trade document that recognizes and protects supply management. Indeed, supply managed poultry and eggs are even exempt from the whole deal. At the same time, a potential $1.5 billion opportunity for the export oriented side of Canadian agriculture is created. There is new duty free access to the EU for about 65,000 tonnes of beef, 81,000 tonnes of pork and 3,000 tonnes of bison. The estimated value to beef is $600 million and to pork $400 million. If fully realized, Canada cattle production would have to rise by 500,000 head. In grain, EU duties on wheat, durum oats, barley and rye are eliminated over seven years, creating sales opportunities. Processed products also benefit, with canola oil exports expected to double to $180 million. The grain sector notes that increased livestock production will create increased demand for feed grain. However, there is a major hurdle to overcome to capitalize on this potential. Over the next two years, Canada and the EU will negotiate “technical barriers” such as sanitary and phytosanitary measures that have foiled theoretical access before. Also, Canadian meat plants will have to upgrade their facilities to meet European standards. If negotiations bog down or investments are not made, then CETA must be rejected. But based on the spirit of the deal, we expect real access will be achieved. CETA also creates an opportunity to offset an over-dependence on the U.S. and Mexican market. Proximity means North America will always dominate Canadian trade, but it is a risk to put too many trade eggs in one continental basket.

PRIME MINISTER’S DILEMMA | SATISFYING EVERYONE

Harper faces difficult task of pleasing party members, Canadian voters NATIONAL VIEW the-road voters. They were unimpressed by opposition leaders and willing to try the Conservative promise of responsible management without radical change. Now, the party is beginning to develop its 2015 re-election platform and that same delicate balance will be needed. Last weekend’s Conservative party convention that gave voice to party activists was a glimpse at how much of a balancing act it is. Convention resolutions are not binding but they reflect the opinions of the party activists who do the grunt work to win elections. On most fronts, delegates showed themselves to be much more conservative than the party dares to be if it wants to fish in the deeper end of the political pool. They voted to move to a “less progressive tax system by reducing the number of personal income tax brackets.” The government might agree in principle, but opponents will jump on the “less progressive” part of the resolution to call it a Magna Carta for the wealthy. They called on the government to end rules that require union membership as a condition of employment in some workplaces. “No one should be forced to join an organization,” said a delegate, despite an earlier vote to support supply management with its requirement that producers buy quota and sell through the marketing boards. Delegates demanded that the government take a strong stand against public service unions in negotiations, reducing their pay and benefits to private sector levels. They demanded that public sector pensions be made less stable with required contributions but no guaranteed payments. The government may agree in principle, but it will be difficult to achieve without major public service disruptions that could happen in an election year. They want to curtail the power of unions to use members’ dues for other than narrow jobrelated issues. They want the government to come down hard on the CBC, supporting radio services but targeting television. They want the government to support the right of faith-based organizations to be able to exclude from their facilities those who disagree with their beliefs. As well, they want human rights legislation amended to say that “discrimination based on the beliefs of a faith based organization be excluded from the definition of disallowed discrimination.” Delegates who showed a strong opposition to government intervention also voted strongly for a proposal that the government be forced to guarantee a job to anyone who leaves to be a military reservist and wants back, even as the government sheds civil servant positions. For Harper and his conservative party policy entourage, many of these proposals may make perfect sense. But many of those proposals will not play well to uncommitted voters who could be persuaded to vote Conservative in 2015 if they are convinced the result will not be too radical. Yet the party cannot stray too far from its base. Brian Mulroney and Kim Campbell discovered that in 1993.

BARRY WILSON ike all Canadian political leaders, prime minister Stephen Harper must walk a tightrope between the hopes of his party zealots and the electoral need to appeal to a broader public.

Consumers need info to reduce food waste

BY SYLVAIN CHARLEBOIS

ncreasing concerns about food waste in the West recently led a former top executive in the food retail business to develop a business model in which food waste is reduced upstream from consumers. His concept, The Daily Table, is proposed as a chain of hybrid grocery store-restaurants cooking on-site with expired food products and then selling nutritious counter-ready meals. The use of products would not be brand-driven, and most locations would be situated in underserved urban markets. By repurposing these products, such a project would extend the shelf life of many food items that often end up in landfills. This initiative reflects the growing unease generated by recent statistics that show 90 percent of consumers throw out food prematurely and 40 percent of our food supply is left unused every year because of problematic food dating. This equates to more than $1,500 of food per year for an average Canadian family of four. This problem is partially caused by western consumers’ resistance to any imperfection in consumer products. They have also become accustomed to the highest quality food at affordable prices. Canadians have access to the cheapest food basket in the world after the United States and Singapore. Abundance, affordability and convenience have encouraged consumers to become more risk averse and increasingly prone to food-related indulgence. The food industry has

I

Food that reaches the best before date is frequently disposed of but is often still safe and could be turned into a nutritious meal. | FILE PHOTO perhaps been too successful in giving consumers what they have become accustomed to: tasty, appealing and affordable food. When an expiry date is reached, the alternatives are too compelling. It’s that simple. This phenomenon is coupled with an increased focus on supply chain discipline. An increasing number of manufactures use “best before” dates on packages to coerce food distributors and retailers to manage inventory in stores in favour of profitability. Retailers are arguably more careful with product shelf life because dates are readily available to consumers. In turn, consumers have access to fresher, high-quality products. As a result, inventory turnover has increased exponentially in recent years because product dating has become ubiquitous in the industry. However, some believe that supply chain discipline has gone too far. The example of best before dates printed on containers of pure honey, which never expires, has been used to exemplify the problem. Others have complained that labelling policies in Canada related to expiry and “best before” dates are too ambiguous. However, Canada’s rules are relatively simple and straightforward when compared to the United States and other countries. Indeed, other countries allow more abstract “sell by” or “best if used by” dates, which can further confuse the issue. The challenge in food dating is to offer clearer information directly to consumers. Expiry and best before

dates are now consumers’ primary source of information when assessing risks in real time. The most effective way to empower consumers in reducing waste is by giving them access to more accurate information, at home, when products are in cupboards, freezers and fridges. To that end, a range of packaging strategies is required. For example, active packaging, or smart packaging, interacts chemically or biologically with its contents. Labels could let consumers know if the product is still safe to eat. Such technology is readily available but comes at a price. Because food safety has little or no currency in the Canadian marketplace, manufacturers have to think of ways to financially support this increase in cost. An affordable solution might be actively incorporating the consumer as part of the industry’s food traceability scheme. QR codes, the common square bar codes that can be scanned with any smartphone, could be used to give consumers more information about when the product was manufactured and expected shelf life. It could also provide tips on how to repurpose food items that could be deemed unsafe to eat. Giving consumers direct access to data to make better choices, and in so doing reducing premature disposal of food, will likely make a difference.

Ag journalists eager to change with the times EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

GLOBAL OUTLOOK | POLITICAL, ECONOMIC CHANGES

Expect the unexpected in demand and prices HURSH ON AG parts of the Prairies, the price has dipped to $3 a bu. or less. Feed wheat that was worth almost as much as good quality wheat a year ago now carries a price scarcely above $4 a bu. At that price, you need a high yield to turn a profit. Over the past ten years, excess moisture has replaced drought as the biggest threat to production over much of the Prairies. Is that a permanent change? The decades of the 1930s, 1960s and 1980s are noted for their drought years. The 1950s, 1970s and recent past are noted for well above normal rainfall. Expect to see another dry cycle at some point. The last couple years have seen open falls with the first killing frosts much later than normal: ideal for the expanding soybean acreage on the Prairies. Is it reasonable to think that a longer growing season is the new norm? Grain yields have been rising and we typically credit better farming practices, including superior seeding equipment and higher fertilizer rates combined with better crop genetics. It would appear we’ve already met some of the ambitious production targets set by the Canola Council of Canada and the Saskatchewan agriculture ministry. But not every year will see new yield records. Mother Nature still bats last. Analysts have been warning of higher interest rates for years, and that’s a prediction that must come true eventually. While we know rates can’t stay rock bottom forever, it will still be a big adjustment when they ratchet higher. If borrowing costs doubled, what would it do to your bottom line? Farmers who are highly leveraged should run those numbers. While a doubling may sound like crazy talk, that would still be cheap compared to prevailing rates in the 1980s. The Liberals were long considered the natural governing part of Canada. As they fell into disarray, the Harper Conservatives have become fixtures in Ottawa. The political winds will eventually change, perhaps sooner than many think. A recent political cartoon aptly captured the political landscape. Prime minister Stephen Harper is mired in a mud-slinging fight with senators Mike Duffy and Pamela Wallin, while Justin Trudeau sits smugly watching with no mud stains on his bright white suit. The NDP has never been elected federally, but they are the official opposition. After a dismal showing in the last election, the Liberals under Trudeau are leading in opinion polls. A lot can happen in the two years until the next election, but the stench of the Senate scandal is going to linger for a long time. Outside of our borders, there will also be events that have a huge impact on agriculture. Will the economic growth and demand for imported food continue unabated in developing nations such as China and India? What we see isn’t necessarily what we’re going to get.

redicting the future is fraught with all sorts of pitfalls, so it’s human nature to assume the future will resemble the most recent past. That can lead to dangerous assumptions. There are young farmers who don’t recall a time when the price of canola was less than $10 a bushel. Those who have been around longer remember when $10 would have been amazing. Grain prices have been historically strong for the past five or six years. Are we in a new era where grain will never be dirt cheap again? That would be nice to believe, but look at feed barley values this fall. In some

very year about this time, Western Producer editors interview members of the new crop of journalists coming through the University of Regina’s journalism school (forever christened J-school in the industry). Next September, one of those young journalists will join us for a three month practicum. These practicums are fantastic for on-the-ground, or in our case, inthe-field training. The J-students mostly come in with great skills, but we, I think, contribute to molding them into even better shape. They learn something about the industry, a bit about writing better introductory paragraphs (or ledes), how to manage deadlines for print and online and how to function in a wild and crazy newsroom. And we, of course, love sharing our brilliance. At least, we like to believe we’re brilliant, or at minimum, experienced. Our last two interns are amazing. Last year, we had Robin Booker: farmer, social worker, writer and good listener. We liked him so much we hired him. (I feel like Victor Kiam, who liked the razor company so much, he bought it.) This year, we have Kristen McEwen, who is learning the ropes at a pace that amazes this old brain. If you haven’t done so already, please take a look at her first video, of the church at Brock, Sask., that has been turned into a community cultural centre by the interesting Heather Speir. It’s great, and not just for an early effort. Interestingly, it was Booker who did the editing on that piece. And, one day last week, we were delighted to host Marilee DeVries, a J-student from Ryerson University, who was preparing a piece on agricultural journalism for the Ryerson Review. Her questions were great, her demeanour excellent, and I think she has a great future. We enjoyed talking to her. I have asked many of these young journalists what the heck they are doing in a field that many say is dying. None of them buy that. They see that journalists’ lives are changing, that we must do it all these days — not just print, or just broadcast, or just online, but everything. It’s tough. But none of these new journalists are daunted. It’s full speed ahead, and it brightens the dark places of my sometimes-worried soul to know that the future of journalism is in good hands. Welcome, all of you.

DUE PROCESS IMPORTANT To the Editor: Most Canadians have come to expect a certain level of hypocrisy from their politicians, but the current Senate scandal involving (Mike) Duffy, (Pamela) Wallin and (Patrick) Brazeau, three of the many Harperappointed senators, have exposed this hypocrisy in spades. Led by Conservative senator Don Plett, some Conservative senators have suddenly become aware of the importance of due process. Conservative senator Hugh Segal even made reference to the foundation of modern law, the Magna Carta, in saying the Senate motion to sus-

pend the three Harper senators was “riding roughshod over due process and presumption of innocence.” Liberal senator Romeo Dallaire put it more bluntly, calling it “shotgun justice.” I would have more sympathy if I had not sat in senator Plett’s Ottawa office while he tried to humiliate and demean a dozen young western farmers who were there at their own expense to remind the good senator the law required that farmers have a vote on killing the Canadian Wheat Board. A few weeks later, along with other farmers, I testified before the Senate agriculture committee and pointed out that a just-released federal court ruling on the issue

had confirmed farmers had a right to vote on the changes to the CWB and the Senate should suspend the legislation until the legal issues were resolved. After all, due process and Canadian tradition dictated that the Senate should respect the federal court ruling, but there was to be no due process for farmers or their CWB. The following week senator Plett and his cronies rubber-stamped the Harper legislation killing the board. So while there should be due process for senators with dubious expense claims and the elected politicians and officials who apparently have run interference for them, readers can forgive this farmer for observing that due process is only impor-

SENATE REFORM SUGGESTION To the Editor: With all the attention in the media lately regarding the Senate, perhaps the time is right for the Tories to scrap it. Senate reform has always been one of the main planks in the (prime minister Stephen) Harper government’s platform. There is no doubt that if ever there was a time to scrap the Senate, it is now. Public support for the Senate is at an all-time low. Even the government has had enough. The problem with Senate reform has always been the provinces. Why would any provincial government agree to Senate reform if there were nothing in it for them? Perhaps if the federal government was serious about Senate reform, it is time to sweeten the pot. Here is a suggestion: If the provinces agree to abolish the Senate, the federal government could agree to pass the savings to the provinces for a set term, say five years. The money could go to improve infrastructure, health care, education or whatever. The federal government would just have to tally up the total savings from abolishing the Senate, divide by the number of senators and then pay each province annually based on the number of senators each province had prior to disbandment. Frank Schlichting, Cecil Lake, B.C.

MORE LIMOUSIN FACTS To the Editor: It was with great interest that we read the article (by Robert Arnason) entitled “Luing breed’s calm nature complements Limousin herd” in the Oct. 10 Western Producer. First, we applaud Mr. (Dane) Guignion for utilizing the powers of crossbreeding. While it is not a new concept in cattle breeding, it seems like that “free lunch” has been forgotten over the years. Guignion’s statement about complementing his Limousin herd with a British breed proves the added value to be gained by his management method. We would like to take this opportunity to also inform the readers about a few additional facts. Limousin breeders were the first to record docility scores and use the data to calculate a Docility EPD (expected progeny difference). For many years

OPINION tant to some Conservatives if one is connected to the Senate. Ken Larsen, Benalto, Alta. I’m sorry to hear how irked he is when “food promotion campaigns spread falsehoods,” but he couldn’t take five minutes out of his day to tell the manager at the restaurant the difference between GMO and tomatoes. Instead, he placed him in the “nonGMO crowd is horribly misinformed” category. Good job at educating. He stated that “all-natural, hormone-free, organic and non-GMO are distractions from the real issues,” yet they obviously are bothersome for him to include in his weekly column when he could be educating us on these real issues. The fact is that society is undereducated on many issues, like the chewing gum that strengthens tooth enamel. Look at the label. It states, chew two pieces of gum, four times a day for 30 minutes. Consumers need to go the extra step and be cautious in the marketplace. Organic or not, all food products on the shelf have the same nutritional facts table on the back of the package. We all need to turn it over and do a little checking. GMO advocates state that there is only one way to feed the growing world, and that is through GMO research. They constantly use the starving humanity marketing ploy to make it an acceptable practice. In a magazine Hursh is the editor of, they state that the average American corn yield is 180 bushels per acre, while the world average is 82 bu. per acre. Maybe we need to focus on the real issues and educate the underperforming farmers worldwide with some good old Canadian work ethics. Justin Marcotte, Torquay, Sask.

ORGANIZATIONAL FRAMEWORK | REVIEW AND REPAIR

About chairs and constitutions SPIRITUAL VIGNETTES

EDUCATE ON REAL ISSUES To the Editor: I would like to clarify some rambling from the Oct. 10 column by Kevin Hursh titled “Putting money where my mouth is means ‘no’ to A&W.” He states that, “an organic label has some established standards.” “Some” is an understatement, as Canadian Organic Growers has worked very hard to set not only standards but certifying regulations as well as inform the consumer through COG logo branding and their website.

hat’s more boring than discussing an organization’s constitution? Few people think about the role a constitution plays, but the council for a congregation I visited was inviting members to discuss their church’s constitution.

W

The framework of an organization’s constitution should be revisited and repaired if necessary.

A schoolteacher clearly stated why this upcoming discussion would be important. “A constitution of any organization is like the framework of your favorite chair,” she said. As the image popped into her mind in the middle of the night, I could imagine her reaching for pen and paper to note the significant points: • It defines the shape and structure of that chair. • That bare-bones framework suggests the chair’s purpose and use. A constitution serves the organization in a similar way. • The framework, like a constitution, is never seen nor thought of until something not quite right draws one’s attention to it. • The framework can be repaired. It certainly does need to be examined once in a while to see if fixing is required. The time has come for us to look over our church’s constitution to see if it needs attention. • A good frame makes a good chair. We certainly know how some chairs fit just right and some don’t. The same goes for our constitution. Organizations are dynamic living organisms that evolve with time. Just as the chairs we once loved don’t fit quite the same as we age, so too with our church’s constitution. The basic framework may call us to revisit our organization’s original purpose, which can be a healthy reminder that we’ve gotten a bit off track. At other times, adjustments and improvements might be required as we think about the changes we’ve made over the years. However, they must be made with prayer and wise discernment so they can serve another generation. Wouldn’t it be interesting to join the discussion?

Wheat prices should remain strong: analyst Drought in Argentina | Brazil could be a major importer of Canadian and American crops

other countries. Colin Hulse, a market analyst with FCStone, said a number of factors could positively affect global wheat prices. Top among those is production in drought stricken areas of Argentina. Wheat production in Argentina will be low and quality will be poor, Hulse said. It means Brazil and other countries that normally buy from Argentina will be importing from other areas, such as Canada or the United States. Brazil’s wheat imports from the U.S. are expected to be up sharply this year, in the range of two to 2.5 million tonnes. “I think one of the main places we have to watch right now is Argentina to see how much smaller that crop gets and probably equally important is how bad the quality will be,” Hulse said.

We’ll probably know within the next 30 days just how bad it is.

COLIN HULSE FCSTONE

“Bushels are one thing, but if it’s still shrivelled and you can’t make a good loaf of bread out of it, then they’re going to have to go find their ... wheat somewhere else.” Analysts watching the Argentine crop are projecting production as low as 10 million tonnes this year, but Hulse said actual production could come in as low as nine million tonnes, depending on how the crop finishes. There are already indications that the country will suspend exports, meaning other countries that buy Argentine wheat will be shopping elsewhere, presumably in North America. The impact that Argentina’s crop will have on North American wheat prices should be known in the next month or so. “What will that do to the wheat market here?” he said. “We’ll probably know within the next 30 days just how bad it is.” Hulse said production in the Black Sea region and elsewhere is helping keep world prices in check. It’s hard to be too bullish about wheat prices in the near term, but there are reasons to expect a brief rally, he added. Many key production areas harvested large crops this year, but global stocks entering 2012-13 were low, and many countries are attempting to rebuild domestic stocks. Global supplies of high protein milling wheat are short of expectations in Canada, the U.S. and other countries. Premiums for high protein milling wheat are also likely to be more common, he added.

Heavy horses dig deep for win Farmfair competition | Fewer interested in pulling competition

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

EDMONTON — Ron Sebastian could have stacked another 500 pounds of cement blocks on the stone boat and tried for first place. Instead, he waved his hat, satisfied with second place in the heavy weight division of the heavy horse pulling competition at Farmfair. Sebastian’s team had already pulled the 11,500 lb. on the stone boat further than Randy Dodge’s winning team, but because Sebastian’s pair of horses weighed more, he needed to pull more weight to win. “One of my horses is five years old. It was his second pull in his life. He had enough,” said Sebastian of Lumsden, Sask. The announcer, Doug Wickham, said Sebastian’s decision to not push the horses was the “honourable thing to do.” Sebastian’s team weighed 4,265 lb. and Randy Dodge’s team from Oregon weighed 3,670 lb. Sebastian’s team of middleweight division horses came first at the competition. One of the horses in the middle weigh team was also a young five-year-old. Matching a young horse with an older experienced horse is Sebastian’s way of teaching the young horse how to pull. Back home in Lumsden, Sebastian trains his horses by pulling a 1,500lb. stone boat four and a half miles every day. Twice a week the horses “lug” an 8,500-lb. stone boat to develop the skills of digging deep. “That’s the hitching power,” he said. “That’s how they learn to drop down and get under the load instead of humping up and getting above the load.” The love of heavy horses comes naturally for Sebastian, 68, who grew up driving a horse and buggy to school until Grade 11. “You have to have a love of heavy horses and competition,” said Sebastian, who has won competitions at Farmfair and Calgary Stampede several times. “You can’t just take someone off the street.”

Two weeks earlier, Sebastian was at a large competition in Lansing, Michigan. This weekend he will be competing at Agribition in Regina, and then the team will take the winter off from competition. “With fewer and fewer people experienced with heavy horses, it’s hard to find people who want to take up the sport of heavy horse pulling,” said Wickham. This year, there were 15 teams entered in the competition, down from 23 last year. “It’s a dying sport. A lot of seniors used to compete in the event and they’ve got older. The young guys are not picking up the reins,” he said.

POLITICS | FARM POLICY

Ag issues absent from Conservative convention agenda Industry optimistic | Conservative officials say good times for industry mean there is little urgency for new policy

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

CALGARY — The governing Conservative party is the main political representative of rural and agricultural Canada outside of Quebec, yet delegates at the party’s weekend convention spent little time on ruralspecific issues. When he addressed delegates Nov. 1, prime minister Stephen Harper made no reference to future government goals for agriculture and just two specific references to government accomplishments that directly affect rural: ending the

CWB monopoly and the long-gun registry. Both drew lusty cheers from delegates. The next day, during the final day of public delegate policy debate aimed at influencing the 2015 Conservative election platform, agriculture was not mentioned. Two agricultural resolutions submitted did not make it to the convention floor. One was a proposal to end supply management, which was defeated in a closed policy workshop. The other, from New Brunswick, was a generic statement calling for govern-

ment to place a high priority on making the food supply “safe, secure and sustainable.” It also said government should ensure clear and accurate ingredient labelling, country-of-origin labels and “more rigorous safety testing of imported food products.” The economic policy workshop did not choose to send it to the general convention as a priority. Conservatives insisted nothing should be read into the absence of agricultural debate. Saskatchewan Conservative MP David Anderson said it simply reflected the fact that the industry is happy.

“Prices are good, crops are phenomenal, people are happy,” said the southwestern Saskatchewan farmer. “Resolutions often deal with problems.” Agriculture minister Gerry Ritz said policies affecting farmers go far beyond specific agriculture items. Trade, labour mobility, infrastructure and tax policy all affect producers. However, he agreed the current boom in most farm sectors makes policy reform less of an urgent issue for farmers and party delegates, many of whom are farmers. “I’m getting calls from farmers that

I’m going to pay too much in tax so what are you going to do?” said Ritz. “We’re seeing the agricultural sector across the country enjoying some good times, a long time coming for some of them.” Canadian Federation of Agriculture president Ron Bonnett, a convention observer, responded that while prices and incomes in agriculture are good now, governments should remember the industry is cyclical. “I think that good times are when you should be looking at what could need fixing in the future,” he said. “There are a number of issues that planning is needed on: risk management for instance, and the whole research agenda that does not seem to be a real focus at the moment.” Alberta Conservative MP Leon Benoit said the general party and delegate view was that they didn’t need to debate something that is working. “Why would there be debates on the industry?” he said. “We’ve done a lot, and agriculture is in good shape. Where I’m from, getting rid of the (CWB) monopoly millstone and opening up value added has been a huge boost. Farmers are not asking for anything now.”

MANITOU BEACH, Sask. — Howard Toews is, for the moment, irreplaceable. The District 6 director for the Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association did not let his name stand for another term on the board, but no one came forward to take his place. “I approached quite a number of different people,” Toews said after his annual district meeting Oct. 22. “But people have so many time commitments.” They are on rural municipal councils or breed associations or working elsewhere, he said. The SCA board will appoint a candidate to replace Toews and take over after the annual general meeting in January. Local producer Brad Wildeman, who has devoted himself to industry issues for years, thanked Toews for his service. “It’s only because of the contribution of people like yourself that we have the industry that we have,” he said. Toews replied that it had been a privilege and a learning experience. “If I had more time I wouldn’t be stepping down,” he told the meeting. “I sure don’t regret the time I spent.” SCA chair Mark Elford urged those at the meeting to contact Toews if they are interested in serving on the board. “We will be using Howard’s recommendation (to appoint a director) because he knows the people in this area,” he said.

DNA sequencing offers huge gains, especially for early adopters New technology | Canadian dairy sector is already profiting from genomics as country’s top rated dairy cow sold for $410,000 last year

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

EDMONTON — It has been only five years since the DNA of a Hereford cow named L1 Dominette D1449 was sequenced. Unlocking that information is expected to improve human health and plant and animal production. Its practical use was discussed at the annual Livestock Gentec conference held in Edmonton Oct. 22-23. Gentec is based at the University of Alberta and collaborates with universities, research networks, livestock industry associations, government agencies and private companies from around the world. The dairy sector has quickly adopted that knowledge and the rewards have been huge, said Michael Bishop of Illumina, a California company formed in 1998 to examine DNA for research, agriculture, human health and forensics. The Canadian dairy industry reaps an annual $209 million benefit from genomics. “The early adopters get on board and take a greater risk and they get a greater reward,� Bishop said. The first Holstein heifer with genomic in f o r mat io n sol d f or $100,000 at four months of age, and the values have continued to escalate. Canada’s number one rated dairy cow, O’Connors Planet Lucia, sold for $410,000 last year. Vintage Angus Ranch in California sold a half interest in an Angus bull Oct. 13 for $330,000 to a buyer from Virginia. Bishop said it is considered the best genomic bull in the breed. He said those with vision and planning can use special matings and in vitro fertilization to combine the best of the best and make considerable genetic progress within a generation. “We have been able to demonstrate we are able to make this genetic progress very quickly,� he said. However, progeny testing must continue because other factors such as feeding and how an animal is raised can also affect the final outcome. “We are going to see more progeny testing in addition to these technologies because not all horses ride in the same direction,� he said. Genomic testing has provided considerable information about the biology of cattle, but there are many unanswered questions a b o u t t h e w i d e v a r i at i o n t hat exists, said Paul Stothard of Livestock Gentec. “The sequences of just one animal can’t begin to understand what specific DNA leads to so much variation,� he said. This knowledge can be applied to a large set of animals once it is available, and genetic merit can be predicted more accurately. It can also predict multiple traits and allow producers to rank animals with a fair degree of accuracy. Tests also have to be reasonably priced. “People also need to understand it is not genetic modification but

capitalizing on genetic variation,� said Peter Fennessy of AbacusBio, a New Zealand technology transfer firm. Producers need to see economic benefits from the technology, such as improved feed efficiency so that their animals cost less to maintain. A cost benefit analysis from AbacusBio found slight improvements in income from the cow-calf producer to the processor. Fennessy said Canadians are well positioned to reap the benefits because breed associations already have good information on phenotypes and well designed breeding

programs. “In Canada, genetic improvement finds its way quite quickly into the field. It is not the same everywhere,� he said. There is little incentive to invest in genomics if the cow-calf producer does not see much return to his bottom line. However, the success of some producers using targeted genetic selection could be enough to encourage others to try it. “Genomics will change the industry in many ways, and I can guarantee you will be surprised,� Fennessy said.

ALL ABOUT BEEF • Canada has 30 purebred beef breeds, and the Canadian Beef Breeds Council represents 17 breed associations. The 17 represent most of the registrations each year. • The largest registrations for a single breed association are 55,000 to 60,000 new calves per year. • There are 250,000 active breeding purebred females. • Each breed association derives its authority through federal legislation passed in 1905, and several registries have been active for more than 100 years. • Only one association per breed or evolving breed is allowed. • New breeds must provide pedigrees on foundation stock. • Each pedigree contains the animal’s registration number, sex, birth date, names of parents and owner. • Many pedigrees include performance information and expected progeny differences as well as DNA reference numbers. • The Pedigree Act also says the associations need to provide breed improvement programs.

With $12 canola and $8 wheat, farmers have ripped up thousands of acres of alfalfa and grassland in Western Canada over the last few years. While it’s difficult to fight basic economics, a new hay insurance program might help counter that trend in Manitoba, says a beef industry leader. In October, the Manitoba and federal governments unveiled a new hay insurance program for livestock and forage producers.

Alfalfa, alfalfa-grass, tame grasses, sweet clover and coarse hay will be covered under Select Hay Insurance in Manitoba. Tame hay will be covered under Basic Hay Insurance. | FILE PHOTO Starting next year, farmers can buy two forms of hay insurance. One, called Select Hay Insurance, offers coverage for five types of hay: alfalfa, alfalfa-grass, tame grasses, sweet clover and coarse hay, where each hay category is insured separately. It also offers quality guarantees because growers can buy coverage for relative feed value. The other program, known as Basic Hay Insurance, is a lower cost option that covers all acres of tame hay in an operation. Manitoba Beef Producers president Trevor Atchison said the insurance options and the level of

On Farm Research Project Yields Informative Results The Agricultural Research and Extension Council of Alberta (ARECA) has released the final report of their Precision Tools for On Farm Research Project. One of the primary objectives of the study, conducted between 2009 and 2011, was to assess the effects of agronomic inputs on crop yield related to topography. One part of the study evaluated the efficacy of TagTeam, an inoculant used on field peas. TagTeam was studied because it is an inoculant with two distinct modes of action: a nitrogen-fixing Rhizobium bacteria and the naturally occurring soil fungus Penicillium bilaii, which improves access to soil and fertilizer phosphate. ARECA used independent field-scale trials to evaluate five treatments against an untreated control sample. The treatments included a single-action (nitrogen-fixing only) Rhizobium inoculant, the same inoculant plus phosphorus fertilizer, TagTeam alone, and TagTeam with two rates of phosphorus fertilizer (5 lbs/ac and 25 lbs/ac). As shown in the graph, TagTeam displayed significantly higher yields than the nitrogen-only inoculant. The following graphs summarize the research conducted with TagTeam by the Agricultural Research and Extension Council of Alberta. Graph #1 represents the results from three treatments: nitrogen-only inoculant (+/- 5 lbs/ac of P) and TagTeam. Graph #1: Increased pea yields1 55

Phosphate binds to other elements quickly and easily, which makes it inaccessible to crops, but the bonds can be broken by Penicillium bilaii, present in TagTeam. When these bonds break, phosphate is made available to the plant at critical times in the growing season. The project was conducted by staff from several applied research associations and 14 participating farmers. The farmer co-operators were given the appropriate training necessary to monitor yields and report crop yield data to the project staff. The full report of the ARECA Research Project is available through their website at www.areca.ab.ca.

coverage are comparable to grain and oilseed crops. “It puts us on a level playing field, which hopefully will … slow this transition of forage land being broken up into annual crop,” said Atchison, who farms near Pipestone. “If I was a producer who grows high quality dairy hay, I would be looking at that select coverage. Without a doubt … you’d want to put as much coverage as you can get on that hay land because you’re trying to generate similar productivity as (if ) it was an annual crop.” Atchison said the new program is far superior to existing tame hay insurance in Manitoba. It offers more options and higher levels of coverage. Lorne Rossnagel, a cattle and forage producer near Plumas, agreed, noting the program provides coverage according to hay yields on a particular farm rather than on regional yields. “You can establish your own production levels. I think that’s a good thing because soil types vary, production practice varies and fertilization varies.” Rossnagel said the old hay insurance program was too expensive and didn’t cover quality shortfalls. “On our operation, when we costed it out, we were looking at a pretty significant premium,” he said. “Usually, in our situation, the problem is more quality rather than volume. The other system didn’t take that factor into account.” Under the new model, producers will cover 40 percent of the insurance premiums, the federal government 36 percent and the Manitoba government 24 percent. Costs could be similar to the old hay insurance system, depending on the level of insurance, Atchison said. “The premium may not necessarily be cheaper than it used to be, but you can get better and more specific coverage that you couldn’t get before,” he said. “You can get 70 to 80 percent coverage, or 50 (percent) or basic coverage. You can tailor to how much you want to spend as a premium and what kind of returns you want out of it.” In a news release announcing the hay insurance, the provincial government said the new program should encourage more producers to “protect their feed source, reducing the need for future assistance programs.” In other words, don’t expect ad hoc payments if there is a flood or a drought. “The government has told us that’s pretty much the way it’s going to go,” Rossnagel said. “Whether it’s field crops or (forage), they’re trying to get away from that ad hoc business and make sure everybody has their insurance to take care of that kind of situation.” Atchison said it will take time for producers to become familiar with the program, but he hopes they will take advantage of it. Rossnagel, who typically puts up extra hay as insurance against future losses, said he is considering the new program. “We tend to run sort of our own insurance program. In years where we have a really good hay crop, we try not to sell too much of it,” he said. “(But) I think we’ll probably do some insurance coverage.”

Group offers support for new farmers Young Agrarians | B.C. organization offers support and networking opportunities for upstart farm businesses

BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

HARRISON HOT SPRINGS, B.C. — Making farming an attractive career path and connecting farmers with the resources they need to get started are the goals of the Young Agrarians. Sara Dent, the group’s co-ordinator and a former farm worker, helps organize potluck dinners, open farm days, work bees and demonstrations to gather those interested in farming. “ Young Agrarians gets people together to network, meet each other, exchange ideas and form different types of partnerships over time for farm operations,” said Dent. “There’s a sense of isolation in rural communities.” Seann Dory helped found the group and has since created Sole Food Farms, an urban agricultural project for disadvantaged communities in Vancouver that uses vacant urban land for street farms that grow fruits and vegetables. “Young Agrarians was started as a way to look at all the good things about farming, building community around farming, rather than the politics involved,” he said. The goal was to help young people see it as a viable profession, connect them with people already in farming and present it in a positive light, Dory said. Dent said the group has also created best practice guides to help with land succession and negotiating leases and contracts for land use, as well as developing maps for land owners seeking people to farm and farmers looking for land to farm. “Getting on the land is tricky,” said Dent. The group’s themes mirror those of the U.S. Greenhorns movement, a non-profit organization made up of young farmers and other collaborators. Its mission is to recruit, promote and support a new generation of young farmers by producing audiovisual programming, web content, publications, events and art projects. “The (Young Agrarians’) vision is to grow the next generation of young farmers and food lovers,” Dent said.

Amara Farm of Courtenay, B.C., hosted a workshop on hoop bending for making sturdy, snow resistant poly-tunnels for winter crop production. The farm produces organic mixed vegetables, garlic and chickens and supports producers who are developing their own farm businesses through housing and a land lease arrangement. | SARA DENT PHOTO Dent and Dory hope the group will eventually become a national organization, but for now it is based in British Columbia. “It would be great to have a national youth voice around farming,” Dory said. The fledgling group, boasting 200 members, faces challenges in its home province from the Agricultural Land Reserve and some of the highest farmland prices in Canada. Dory said that can be countered through creative lease arrangements, collectives, co-operatives and incubator farms similar to those in Vermont’s Intervale Farms Program. In that program, one or more producers farm parcels of land and market farm products through their own new agribusiness enterprise. New farm businesses join the program as incubators, receiving subsidized rental rates, business planning support and mentorship from established growers. The program leases land, equipment, greenhouses, irrigation and storage facilities to small independent farms. Like Young Agrarians, it targets people ready to start a viable, locally oriented, ecological farm. They could include those from non-farm backgrounds who have developed practical agriculture experience, those from conventional farms who wish to farm ecologically but do not have access to land and/or capital, new immigrants with agricultural experience and those with innovative farm enterprise ideas. Intervale’s services include farm business development, agricultural market development, agricultural land stewardship and food systems research. The program helps remove start-up barriers that young farmers often face, such as a lack of training, land, capital and markets, knowledge of equipment operation and maintenance and isolation. Dory stressed the importance of mentoring young farmers, noting how he learned about agriculture working on Alberta cattle farms as a teenager. “It’s having access to a mentor, someone to walk me through the steps … knowing there are others going through the same things,” he said. Support and sharing stories of successes and failures are especially important for those entering small operations that will be marginal at best, he said. “They usually do it for more reasons than money,” Dory said. He said social media and a website at youngagrarians.org bring together far-flung members and farmers, allowing an avenue “to shine a light and aggregate to what already exists.” “We’re looking for young agrarians, but also looking for folks to pass on their knowledge and land to the next generation,” said Dory. “Because of the migration to urban centres and decline in numbers farming, there’s this knowledge gap that’s significant.”

EDUCATION | RALLY

Home economists defend university program University of Manitoba | Future of human ecology department is uncertain as university undergoes review

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Manitoba home economists are campaigning to save their school at the University of Manitoba and earn recognition for their profession with the public. At a meeting called to rally against possible university plans to break up the human ecology faculty, many home economists challenged the notion that home economics is a profession of the past. “It is not a stagnant education. Nor

is it a stagnant profession,” said Debora Durnin-Richards, president of the Manitoba Association of Home Economists. “The university has no right to dismantle the program of human ecology, the study of that education. They have no right to disappear its identity by at least giving it a professional college designation.” Manitoba home economists are concerned that the university administration is considering placing parts of the school in other faculties and proposed super-faculties.

ARLENE SKULL HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL

Participants denounced suggestions that home economics’ traditional holistic education is outdated

and that students would be better served by specializing. “More than ever we need students to be educated in nutrition, child development and parenting, and for that we need highly skilled and qualified teaching, and the faculty have provided that for about 100 years,” said Arlene Skull, the principal of an inner-city Winnipeg high school and a professional home economist. “It has astounded me that the crisis in youth health and physical fitness and the increased use of food

banks has been addressed by (private sector programs supported by money from companies, but) I am deeply concerned that there appears to be little understanding of what we need for the life preparation courses in the post-secondary institutions.” Home economics was one of the earliest areas of study at the U of M. For decades, its graduates taught rural people how to safely prepare and store food, provide a healthy diet to families on a budget, manage challenging family dynamics and make, maintain and mend clothing. In recent decades, the faculty’s programs have specialized. The university administration is currently reviewing all of its faculties, programs and departments to find m o re a f f o rd a b l e a n d ra t i o n a l options. Some human ecology staff support relocating departments and programs to where they might fit better, either in health sciences or agriculture faculties, the meeting heard. Human ecology dean Gustaaf Sevenhuysen explained the reform process and why the university thinks the faculty’s programs don’t need to be offered by a standalone faculty. “However the departments and facilities are structured doesn’t necessarily determine what is actually taught (thinks the administration),” he said. “In other words, the structure isn’t a prerequisite of a program.” Some home economists cited current obesity and diabetes epidemics and said they highlight the need for home economists to teach a broad array of skills to students. Skull said her school’s students this year include 29 percent from refugee families from Africa and the Middle East, 38 percent aboriginal and 52 percent living below the poverty level. They need basic education in many areas and home economists are ideal to offer it, she said. Durnin-Richards said home economics deserves to be taken seriously and perhaps needs to find a friendlier home. “If we don’t fit the University of Manitoba anymore after 100 and some years, perhaps it’s time to move on,” she said. A social media campaign to highlight the importance of home economists can be found at #savehomeec on Twitter.

Time is ripe for B.C. cider makers

BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

MERRITT, B.C. — Cider is a relative newcomer to the Canadian marketplace, but sisters Theresa Pedersen and Kate Garthwaite believe the time is right to launch Left Field Cider. Garthwaite said 50 percent of the world’s cider comes from England, where she spent a year working for a cider maker. Gord and Debbie Garthwaite, her parents and ranchers in Mamette Lake, B.C., and Pedersen visited her there before launching their familyoperated company. The ranch houses a young two acre orchard where the sisters experiment with cider recipes using hardy apples grown at a high altitude and apples from British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley. Pedersen, a former stockbroker, said the family’s rural background plays a big role in their business plan, which includes signing five-year contracts with B.C. apple growers. “Coming from a ranch, a big part of what we want to do is give a fair price to orchardists and give them consistency,” added Garthwaite. “We feel it’s great we can have longterm contracts with orchardists so they can rely on income every year.” The family started commercial production in 2011, selling 8,000 litres within five months the next year. They tripled production the following year and plan to expand to 30,000 litres for 2014. Their investment has reached $400,000. The business, which opens the tasting room and cider house in season, receives help from friends with the labour intensive bottling process. Social media is proving to be an invaluable tool for the small company’s marketing, which includes a website at www.leftfieldcider.com. “Social media helps us connect and get that flow of information started,” said Garthwaite.

All it takes is a moment of inspiration and a hayfield becomes an orchard, a barn becomes a cider house and two sisters become cider makers. — Left Field Cider Co. ronment at the University of the Fraser Valley, cited the uniqueness of the B.C. marketplace for small processors. High land prices and the Agricultural Land Reserve make it tough for newcomers and means that diversification and adding value to raw products are key. She said those in southern B.C. are well placed to supply consumers in and around Vancouver and a mar-

ketplace ripe for new experiences. “Places where this works is near the big cities or tourist attractions,” she said. “It’s never been better,” said Newman of a renaissance of microbreweries and distilleries. Her recent research has taken her across Canada to identify Canadian cuisine. She cited operations making rum in Lunenburg, N.S., gin in Prince Edward Island and blackberry port in B.C., and noted the popularity of fruit wine across the country. “They’re right on the cusp of an emerging trend,” she said. “Ten to 20 years ago, it was not

The consumer has become much more refined,” Newman said. “They’re not just buying Labatt’s but exploring and experimenting.” She said a revamping of B.C. liquor laws, which is now underway, will help small processors do more farmgate and farmers markets sales. More education is also needed to teach people about higher end ciders, she said.

Pedersen called it free advertising for a little known product. “In the past, you could never have approached that many people as you can nowadays,” she said. Both consider themselves foodies who enjoy cooking. They say the business came “out of left field” after Garthwaite tried making cider for her own use. Their two signature ciders, Big Dry and Little Dry, are sold in British Columbia, mainly in places selling craft beer and to fellow foodies interested in high quality and local products. The sisters plan to expand into Alberta in the future and experiment with specialty ciders. “Quality is important to us so we don’t want to get so big that we lose sight of that,” said Garthwaite.

ATLANTIC COD | TRADITIONAL RECIPES

Cod has history in Canada’s birthplace TEAM RESOURCES the Atlantic cod was popular with its mild flavour, low fat content and dense white flesh. To preserve the fish, the fishermen cleaned and salted it on board their ships and then dried it when they returned to Europe. The English fishermen took the cod to shore to clean, salt and then air dry on the rocky beaches or on wooded drying racks called flakes. These shore fish processing sites eventually became settlements. With the demand for cod, merchants brought goods to trade and built warehouses and mercantile establishments. The dried cod became the currency and dictated the fortunes of the fishermen, their families and the merchants. The name King Cod developed, but excessive Canadian and foreign fishing depleted stocks and the industry shut down. Now the recreational cod fishing season is just three weeks in July and one week in September. We enjoyed sampling cod in various forms. Cod tongues are the texture of chicken, a little chewy with a fish taste. They were breaded, deepfried and served with scrunchions, cubes of salt pork fat that are rendered to crisp cubes. Rendered fat is used to fry the cod in and the crisp pieces are served as a condiment. The following recipes have been adapted from Fat-back and Molasses: A Collection of Favourite Old Recipes From Newfoundland and Labrador. Most of the recipes were submitted by United Church women in the province.

BETTY ANN DEOBALD, BSHEc ewfoundland and Labrador is really the birthplace of Canada, even though it was the last province to join Canada. Its history goes back to the First Nations and the arrival of the Vikings 1,000 years ago to L’Anse aux Meadows, where they established a short-lived settlement. In 1497, John Cabot landed at Cape Bonavista five years after Christopher Columbus discovered North America. Cabot and his crew were amazed at the abundance of fish. Almost immediately, the English, French, Spanish and Portuguese came here to fish for cod. In Europe, there was great demand for fish and

FRIED COD TONGUES 2 lb. cod tongues, fresh 1 kg or frozen 1 1/2 c. flour 375 mL 1 tsp. salt 5 mL 1/2 tsp. pepper 2 mL 1/2 lb. salt pork 250 g Carefully wash cod tongues and dry with paper towels. Allow seven to eight tongues per person. Put flour, salt and pepper in a plastic bag, add tongues and shake until evenly coated. Cube salt pork and fry until fat is rendered and pork (scrunchions) are crisp and brown. Remove scrunchions. Fry tongues over medium hot heat until browned and crisp on both sides. Serve with mashed potatoes and green peas.

COD FISH CAKES This is a traditional recipe using salted cod. The parsnips and savory herb add a bit more flavour. 1 lb. salt cod, boned 454 g and cooked 6 cooked potatoes, mashed 2 onions 3 cooked parsnips (optional) 1 egg, well beaten 1/4 tsp. ground pepper 1 mL 1 tsp. ground savory herb 5 mL 1/2 c. bread crumbs 125 mL 1/4 lb. salt pork fat or 125 g bacon Place the salt cod in a deep bowl, cover with cold water and refrigerate for at least 18 hours, changing the

water once or twice. After the fish has soaked, drain and remove the skin and bones. Cut the fish into pieces and put it in a non-aluminum saucepan. Cover with cold water and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 20 minutes or until the cod flakes easily. Cook the onions in a small amount of water. Combine the mashed potatoes, parsnips and fish, mash together. Add the beaten egg, onions, water, pepper and savory herb, mix well. Line a baking sheet with wax paper and place breadcrumbs in a bowl. Take a handful of the cod mixture and form into patties about three inches (6 cm) across and 3/4 inches (1.5 cm) thick. Coat both sides of cod cake with breadcrumbs. Place on the baking sheet. Continue until the mixture is formed into patties. Cool in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or for several hours if making ahead. Cube the salt pork fat and render to make scrunchions as described in the cod tongue recipe. Fry three or four cod cakes at a time in the rendered fat over medium heat for about five minutes per side, until they are crusty and well browned. Turn the cakes only once. Keep warm until other cakes are fried. Serve with mustard or a spicy relish. Makes 12 – 14 cod cakes.

Drain, flake fish a little, but don’t mash. Melt butter, then stir flour, salt and pepper into melted butter. Add milk to butter and flour mixture, heat slowly, stirring until thickened and smooth. Don’t boil. Arrange fish in bottom of ovenproof dish or individual casseroles. Cover fish with cream sauce and top with grated cheese. Place casseroles in shallow pan of water and bake at 350 F (180 C) for 30 minutes. Serve with a crusty roll and coleslaw. Serves four.

One Wonder Drug dose will do you — in?

THE MORE THINGS CHANGE … these happy pictures are being displayed, the voiceover goes something like this: “NSAIDs (non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs), including Wonder Drug, increase the chance of serious skin or allergic reactions or stomach and intestinal problems, which can occur without warning and may cause death. “Do not take Wonder Drug if you have had an asthma attack, hives or other allergies to aspirin, NSAIDs or sulphanamides. Get help right away if you have swelling of the face or throat or if you have trouble breathing.” This dichotomy of family outing/ death warning comes about because federal law requires it. U.S. federal law, that is. In Canada, they don’t go into the “this can kill you” downer so much, but the regulations, while they seem strict, are poorly enforced. Three types of prescription drug ads are aimed at the public: product claims, which include the product name and how wonderful it is, reminders, which name the drug but don’t say what it does and helpseeking ads, which give information about new treatment options. None of these are strictly legal in Canada, but they happen all the time. Because whoever is minding the store has a lot to do, you know? They can’t be everywhere. That would be so … governmental. But let’s not be negative. Drug companies, or rather pharmaceutical companies because five syllables are more impressive than one, pharmaceutical companies surely must have our best interests at heart. If a single pill costs $10, well, who can put a price tag on health? Or intestinal problems or hives or swelling of the face?

he two-ton monster stares at us through the front door of our tiny tent, its long curved horn pointing like a dagger. If that’s not enough to stir us from slumber, four of its buddies have us surrounded. Without warning, a scuffle breaks out, sending bits of gravel flying against our tent. Never again will we complain about not getting close enough to rhinos. We’re camped in South Africa’s Marakele National Park. More than anywhere in Africa, wildlife parks in South Africa are well set up for independent, do-it-yourself wildlife safaris. We’ve explored many parks by rental car, spending the days cruising park roads and photographing a mind-boggling array of critters from lions and leopards to elephants, hippos, antelope galore and dazzling birds. We stay at park rest camps, where accommodation ranges from air-conditioned bungalows to simple huts and campgrounds. Camps are surrounded by substantial electric fences so you won’t be eaten or trampled overnight. A few wilderness rest camps are unfenced to allow you to get up close and personal with the African bush. Most have fixed-roof accommodation, complete with kitchens and bathrooms so you don’t have to go out at night where anything could be lurking. Marakele is rare in that it has an unfenced campground. It’s the only accommodation option in this part of the park, which has no big predators such as lions and leopards. We set up our tent overlooking a waterhole in the distance, where zebras and kudu come and go. Some animals wander into the campground, especially bold ostrich on the lookout for unattended food. These huge birds seem even more imposing close up, their heads stretching three metres above the ground. Close to evening, we see a mother rhino and half-grown calf drinking at the waterhole. They slowly walk in our direction, grazing non-stop, until they reach the edge of the campground. Most campers gather to watch, and the rhinos look back, making it difficult to know who is watching whom. Finally, the rhinos get bored and disappear into the forest. Going to sleep, we assume that the rhinos are off exploring greener pastures. It’s still dark at 4 a.m., but we awake to crunching noises and footsteps of something big — really big. The rhinos are back, grazing just outside, the sound much like cattle eating grass, only louder. We count five surrounding our tent. Rhinos look imposing anytime, but a sight we’ll never forget is looking up at them while we’re lying on the ground. The huge animals aren’t aggressive, and fortunately

they walk around the tents rather than over them. We don’t know what started the scuffle, but suddenly there’s snorting and stamping of feet so close that gravel splatters the tent. Looking out, we see one rhino facing us, its long sharp horn pointed directly at us. The next campsite has a light on, so when the rhino turns sideways, the profile of the curved horn throws a shadow that completely fills our tent door. It feels like something straight out of an Alfred Hitchcock movie, like the knife about to slash through the

money he earned from a job to kickstart his real education. “The first thing I bought with my first paycheque was a Lincoln welder. That’s where I started,” said the inventor. The welder was his gateway tool in what became a lifetime of designing, engineering and building an eclectic collection of industrial tools, farm machinery and structures. By far the most noticeable oddity on the farm near St. Gregor is the Jetsons-like, 840 sq. foot house perched on top of a 12 metre tall orange pole. Visitors from around the world have wended their way up the elaborate orange spiral staircase to have a peek at the unique home, where Mollenbeck and his wife Joan spend their weekends. Inside is one big open room with a bar in the middle, a bed and a bathroom. Mollenbeck handcrafted the intricate stools, chandelier and canopy bed frame using scrap metal gathered from around his shop. It took two years to build the structure, which is secured by wires attached to I-beams embedded in eight-metre-deep concrete pilings. “I got started on it and then I couldn’t quit because once I get going on a project, I’m kind of obsessed with it,” said Mollenbeck, who has no formal training in architecture or engineering. The original plan was far more grandiose. It was going to be a threelevel house with a glassed-in pool on the top level. And it was going to be three times as high. There is a simple answer for why the project was scaled back. “That’s all the pipe I had,” said Mollenbeck, who adds a chuckle to the end of pretty much everything he says. He was similarly nonchalant when asked why he built the structure in the first place. “I don’t know. Crazy people do crazy things,” he said. “I always keep telling people my dad never wanted to build me a tree house, so I thought I’d build myself a decent one.” Many of his creations appeal to local farmers, regardless of whether they were inspired by genius or insanity. Mollenbeck has sold about 100 grain trailers that he designed and built from scratch. He has also had success selling his grain hopper cones. However, mass production is not his thing. It gets tiresome and boring. “I build one-of-a-kind and then I get on with life. I just don’t like production line stuff,” he said. “I could have turned a lot of things into a business if I wanted to, I guess, but I really wasn’t interested in that kind of stuff.” What has become a business is Mollenbeck’s 8,800 sq. foot shop where he and his sons, Dennis and Kevin, repair farm equipment. The boys have been working in the shop alongside their father since they

FARM LIVING were in diapers and welding since they were five. “We were always around him, so we always watched what he was doing,” said Dennis. “We started pretty young, making stuff and playing with things, tearing motors apart, you name it.” Dennis is involved in most facets of the operation. He helps run the 2,700 acre grain farm and fixes and paints farm equipment in the shop. He remembers his father giving the children free rein to build all kinds of things when they were young, such as go-karts, quads and hovercrafts. “If we didn’t have a tool, we’d learn how to make it,” said Dennis. Most of Kevin’s time is spent running the farm’s crane, which is hired out to lift roofs, bins and steel structures for buildings. “At times it can be pretty hectic. You don’t know which way to turn,” he said. The next generation is already busy in the shop. Wilfred and Joan have seven grandchildren from their two sons and two daughters. Joan said their children and grandchildren have always gravitated toward the shop. “They just love it,” she said. “They’re just there and he helps them a little bit.” The grandchildren are the reason the couple keeps 20 head of cattle, 50 hogs, some chickens and a dairy cow on the farm. “The grandkids need a little bit of work, too. It’s a good experience for them. It’s nice to have your own meat and eggs and milk.” The shop is filled with industrial tools built for a fraction of the cost of those sold in stores. Mollenbeck has two homemade press brakes that bend and crimp metal into all sorts of shapes. They were made from I-beams bought from a salvage yard for $1,500 and hydraulic cylinders bought at auction sales. The smaller three-metre long brake cost $5,500 to build. Mollenbeck cringes at the price of the six-metre, 2,000 tonne unit, which grew to $15,000 because he was in a hurry and had to buy new cylinders. He estimates a factory press brake of that size would have cost $250,000. On the other side of the shop is a cutting table Mollenbeck “cobbled together” in one afternoon. “Please don’t laugh when you see this,” he said. The tool consists of a drill attached to a gearbox from an angle grinder, and there is a holster where the cutting torch sits. It can cut a threemetre long sheet of 14-gauge steel in 30 seconds. The $400 creation would have cost him about $50,000 in the store. “I can’t afford the factory built stuff,” said Mollenbeck. Fire destroyed the old shop five years ago. The new one, which cost $1.5 million to build, features two cranes that can reach any corner of the shop. It has 12 tie-downs buried in the concrete floor for straightening mangled frames. “Most people don’t fix stuff like we do. They bring us some pretty impossible stuff to fix,” he said. “Sometimes you sit there for an hour scratching your head first, trying to figure out what you’re going to do.” The repair shop and crane business bring in more revenue than the farm, but Mollenbeck has innovations for the grain side of the business as well. He and his sons built a grain dryer and cleaning plant from scratch, including the legs. An auger is

scatter the ashes on the (shores),” Stuart said. “People come back and relatives come back and scatter ashes and that’s what started me on it.” Stuart’s grandfather, John Torrance Kennedy, was born in Tweedsmuir in the County of Peebles, Scotland, on Aug. 16, 1890. He immigrated to Scott in 1912. As a member of the 48th Highlanders of Canada, he received land through a soldier grant. One of the conditions that came w i t h t h e l a n d w a s t hat h e w a s required to build a house there. Stuart and his wife, Maggie, first visited Canada 12 years ago. Knowing that his mother, Catherine, was from Canada, they began looking into the past. Her dementia made locating her Saskatchewan birthplace a challenge. Stuart eventually received his mother’s birth certificate, which listed Scott as her place of birth. “Once we kind of located Scott, once we found out that it actually was a place and Stuart’s mom wasn’t dreaming it, we decided to come and do this,” Maggie said. “And that’s what we’ve been doing for the past 12 years. We’ve just been researching as much as we can. It’s been really interesting.” Stuart and Maggie began digging for birth, marriage and death certificates. “We sent off to the Saskatchewan Archives who were so helpful … they sent us old copies of the papers that (Kennedy) signed the plots of land that he got, so it was really interesting. And from that we were able to get a map,” Maggie said. The map, dated in 1922, pinpointed the Kennedy farm near Muddy Lake. The soldier grant allowed Kennedy to obtain 160 acres for £10. Stuart and Maggie determined that he had built a four by eight metre house valued at $400. By 1914, Kennedy also had a crop and owned two cows. “From what we can gather, he really carried on with that for quite a few years,” Stuart said. “And it says there’s no family in 1912, just him.” A marriage certificate revealed that he married Mary Hyslop in 1917. Their first daughter, Catherine, was born on Sept. 14, 1920. The paper trail in Saskatchewan ends there. Kennedy and his family returned to Scotland around 1924. Stuar t was not sure why they returned but suspects the isolation and cold on the Prairies might have been a factor.

How to choose between nursing home and home care for elderly HEALTH CLINIC long way from shops and restaurants. She is mentally fine, but has poor eyesight and some arthritis. I am also concerned about her falling. She says she definitely does not want to end up in a home, but I worry that she may have to because I live too far away to be of much assistance. even in the country and can be paid for or at least subsidized by the province. There are three main types of services: nursing care; personal care, such as bathing by specially trained home care workers; and basic house cleaning and shopping. Some areas have access to special buses or taxis for the elderly or disabled. One of the major factors to consider is whether your mother has good neighbours who can help. Would they help in an emergency or drive her to medical appointments? Are they willing to pick up groceries from time to time? Falling is the biggest fear with the elderly, which is justified because hip fractures are common. Your mother’s home can be made as safe as possible with grab bars, raised toilet seats and the placement of regularly used kitchen items on lower shelves and counter tops. There should be no scatter rugs to trip over. A safety alarm should be worn at all times, even in the bath or shower. They cost about $20 a month in my area and are well worth it. A person may sometimes have to give up their independence if they pose a danger to themselves by wandering out of the house and getting lost or causing a fire hazard by forgetting to turn off the stove. Physical disabilities may become so severe that 24 hour nursing care is required. A special assessment to determine the proper course of action can be carried out by a nurse or social worker. You will probably be invited to attend. It is reassuring to know that only a small percentage of us will actually end up in a long-term care facility. According to Statistics Canada and the 2011 census, 92.1 percent of people older than 65 lived in private households while 7.9 percent lived in collective dwellings, such as residences for senior citizens or healthcare and related facilities.

Catherine’s family returned to Scotland when she was about four years old.

During their research, Catherine indicated that she would have liked to see her home again. After she passed away last year, Stuart resolved to bring her ashes home. Stuart and Maggie arrived in Scott last month, and while in town, they stopped a passing vehicle to help them locate Catherine’s first home. The driver was Scott’s mayor Erik Schnell, who directed the couple to the town historian Albert Meid, who gave them directions to Muddy Lake. Stuart and Maggie stopped at a nearby farm to confirm they were on the right path. Sandra Kondratowicz showed them a trail on the farm, which led them to where Stuart’s grandfather started his life on the prairie. In an email sent to The Western Producer, Stuart described his experience. “We managed to scatter my mothers ashes in what could only be described as a beautiful and peaceful place,” he wrote. “We saw scarring on the field where (the Kennedy) home and outbuildings stood but were demolished a couple of years ago. It is a shame we never got to see these.” Before leaving Scott, they again visited Meid, who gave them a photo of the hospital where Catherine was born. “We had the little container my mum’s ashes were in. It was a pretty little round container with trees and bluebells on it and we did not really want to throw it away,” Stuart said. “Albert made a heartfelt gesture to us and he said that he would bury it in the local graveyard in Scott.” Stuart said it was an emotional experience. “This was the last and final thing that I could do for my mum. She is home.”

NEWS MEDICINAL CROPS | VALUE-ADDED

Healthy profit in niche crops Medicinal market | Researchers identify suitable crops for prairie growers

Sea buckthorn grows well on the Prairies and is touted in health markets. | AGRICULTURE CANADA PHOTO

A medicinal herb researcher suggests farmers can get into a higher value market by growing non-traditional crops. However, they need to do their homework first to avoid over-serving the market. Farmers can grow a wide range of culinar y, medicinal, aromatic herbs, berries and other crops for the health market, said Sean Westerveld, a ginseng and medici-

nal herbs specialist with Ontario’s agriculture ministry. But he advised producers to do their homework before growing them. “As the market is considerably smaller than traditional crops, a few acres may be all the market can handle,” he said. “However, these can be very high value crops requiring specialized production and processing.” Producers interested in getting into herb production also need to be aware of good agricultural and col-

lection practices for each crop. The Canadian Herb, Spice, and Natural Health Product Coalition estimates that more than 4,000 herbs and medicinal plants can be grown or collected from the wild in Canada. Berries, such as goji and sea buckthorn, which grow well on the Prairies, are the current hot items in the health market. Westerveld established a plot at the Simcoe Resource Centre in 2011 to demonstrate the possibilities for growers and identify the challenges with herb production, such as finding a market, plant identification, over-wintering and pest management. Herbs in the plot included native field and forest herbs, traditional Chinese, Indian and European herbs, aromatic plants and a few berry crops such as aronia, sea buckthorn, goji and haskap. The research team has identified crops that are not viable in Canada, including stevia and traditional Indian medicinals because they cannot over-winter and St. John’s wort because of pest issues. “We’ve also found several herbs that possess significant seed germination issues (such as angelica, several Chinese herbs and sweet cicely),” said Westerveld. “We’ve had success, though, in growing several tropical and subtropical herbs as an annual in the plot (such as lemon grass, lemon verbena, and ginger), but yields would be significantly lower than other regions due to the short season and growers would only be advised to attempt these if they had a significant premium for locally grown or fresh product.” The research findings have been used at the plot as well as in other research projects to develop an online interactive module on specialty crops for growers. The module, Specialty Cropportunities, is available on the agriculture ministry’s website at www. omafra.gov.on.ca/CropOp/en/ index.html. More herb crops will be added over the next couple years. “Overall, we’ve been successful in growing a wide range of herb crops too numerous to mention,” said Westerveld. “However, success with growing isn’t the same as success with marketing, and marketing wasn’t the focus of the project, although it would be necessary to determine if a crop could be successful on a farm situation. The key is to find a company looking for a supply of product. Often a processor would need to be involved, and these can be hard to find in Canada.” Growers can also reduce risk by growing several specialty crops. “It’s important to recognize the size of the opportunities,” he said. “Adding 10 acres of a single herb crop could saturate a market and greatly reduce prices, but with the right crop, growers can make a living with a relatively small acreage of a high value herb.” Resources are available through the coalition, which is based in Saskatchewan.

NEWS AG NOTES WGRF SCHOLARSHIP WINNERS Colleen Redlick and Andrea De Roo are this year’s recipients of the Western Grains Research Foundation’s graduate scholarships. Both are master’s students working in crop research at the University of Saskatchewan’s agriculture college. Redlick’s research focuses on developing an integrated weed management strategy for producers dealing with herbicide resistant weeds in lentil. De Roo is studying the biological attributes of six Canadian cleaver populations and how they influence their competitive ability with crops. By understanding how cleavers have become such a difficult weed to control, researchers can later develop a variety of agronomic practices to control it. The scholarships are open to students completing a master’s or Ph.D. in an aspect of crop research and are administered on a rotating basis between the universities of Manitoba, Alberta and Saskatchewan. Each university receives $100,000 every three years and can choose to fund one Ph.D. student for three years or two master’s students for two years.

FALL FOLIAGE

CIGI eager to tap food trend Gluten-free diets | If you can’t fight it, promote pulse flour

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

The grain industry can either fight it fruitlessly or profit from it fortuitously. The Canadian International Grains Institute is responding to the mass popularity of gluten-free diets by following the latter approach, investing its energy in promoting pulse crop flour rather than defending cereal flour. “Where’s the opportunity (for western Canadian farmers)? You can’t spend all your time fighting a trend,” said CIGI chief executive officer Earl Geddes. “You can’t always beat the consumer at this kind of stuff.” No-gluten or low-gluten diets have surged in popularity and become a major force for restaurants, grocery stores and food processors. Millions of people believe they are glutenintolerant, have allergies to gluten or that gluten causes a host of health problems. Whether there is truth to most of the anti-gluten hysteria is not the main concern for most food providers and marketers because they are trying to keep consumers happy. Restaurant chains such as Boston Pizza with its GlutenWise menu choices offer gluten-free items on an otherwise gluten-heavy menu, and grocery stores contain a multitude of products that proclaim themselves to be gluten-free. In the 2000s, grain-based organizations such as CWB responded to the popularity of low-carbohydrate diets by defending the healthfulness of wheat, hiring dietitians to deal with public concerns and publicizing the science that showed cereal grains were healthy. However, Geddes, who participated in those efforts while at CWB, said CIGI isn’t spending much time fighting the anti-gluten movement b e c au s e “ w hy b e at y o u r h e a d against the wall fighting something that you’re not likely to have any impact on?” CIGI is a small organization that can’t reach many consumers, but it is a big presence in the world of milling with thousands of contacts in North America and around the world. It has also trained hundreds of millers from most of the world’s significant milling companies and processors in how to use pulse crop flours. Pulse crops contain no gluten and can be used in place of grains in many products. As a result, CIGI is promoting the use of pulse flour as an alternative to wheat flour for companies that are attempting to create gluten-free products. “We’ve got customers using knowledge that we’ve given them to put products in the market now,” said Geddes. “We say to them, ‘don’t sweat this low-gluten thing because people still eat.’ Instead we’re saying, ‘here’s the opportunity. Put green peas in it.’ ” Geddes said CIGI’s pulse milling, processing and food-making knowledge didn’t develop because of antigluten diets. It had started developing pulse research years before those diets appeared. It’s just good fortune, but CIGI is

leaping on the opportunity to promote Canadian pulses, which now make up one-third of its work. “The timing for the pulse industry is almost perfect,” he said. “We’ve almost finished the first round of the pulse milling knowledge piece, and (organizations like) Pulse Canada and Sask Pulse have been developing products.” It’s also an interesting example of how prairie crop institutions have changed, Geddes said. Almost the entire focus of CIGI was on promoting wheat, durum and barley when

CWB provided most of its funding. He said CIGI would probably be a minuscule voice defending the dietary value of gluten, with little impact, if that atmosphere prevailed today. Instead, with CIGI able to more freely exploit opportunities, it leveraging its influence with millers to get pulse flours into more products. “It’s the approach that’s different,” Geddes said. “How do I make money on the trend?

High bee losses reduce honey output, send prices up

Honey production will likely be down on the Prairies this year after high winter losses in Manitoba and below average output in Alberta. Beekeepers Commission of Alberta president Grant Hicks said honey output was average for his apiary in the Peace River district. “Our crop was about average…. In our area, I would say production was down mostly because of the colony count being down,” said Hicks. “The hives that did survive the winter were quite weak, so guys were trying to keep their colony count numbers up by using hives that were weaker than average…. They didn’t get their colony count back, nor did they produce an average crop of honey.” Based on a beekeeper survey, the Canadian Association of Provincial Apiculturists estimated Alberta wintering losses for 2012-13 at 24 percent. However, Hicks said the figure doesn’t tell the entire story because certain regions had much higher losses. “South of Highway 1, the winter losses were just average, but north of that they were significantly higher,” he said. Alberta bee colonies produce an average of 140 pounds per hive, but Hicks said production will be below that this year. “I think our provincial apiculturist is saying the provincial honey production is down about 25 percent.” In Manitoba, production per hive will probably be near or above the provincial average of 160 lb. Manitoba Beekeepers’ Association president Allan Campbell said total provincial output is likely down because apiarists suffered high losses of 46.4 percent last winter, nearly triple the losses from 2011-12. “We were down (in his operation) about 1,000 hives from where we needed to be,” said Campbell. “Overall volume was down, but it (yield) was all right on a per hive basis.” Saskatchewan Beekeepers’ Association president Corey Bacon said results were mixed in the province. Some beekeepers had tremendous honey yields, thanks to a lengthy canola bloom. Other apiarists didn’t recover from a cool spring and wet July. “There are some crops in the 350 (lb. per hive) range,” he said. “There are just as many crops in the 160 lb. range.” Saskatchewan’s provincial average is 195 lb. per hive. Saskatchewan apiarists fared better than Manitoba beekeepers with 27 percent colony losses over the winter. Nonetheless, Bacon said a cool April and May retarded colony development. “Overall winter loss was decent, but (many beekeepers )… experienced loss throughout spring,” he said. “The colonies went backward and didn’t build up enough to be a productive colony.” Bacon said nearly ideal conditions in August, with warm weather and an extended canola bloom, salvaged honey yields on his farm. “July was probably one of the worst on record for honey production, but August could have been of one of the best.”

RESEARCH | WHEAT GENETICS

Researchers identify key to wheat sprouting Control behaviour | Some genes change how other genes are expressed under different conditions

BY MARGARET EVANS FREELANCE WRITER

LINDELL BEACH, B.C. — Pre-harvest sprouting can deal wheat farmers a major financial blow. The problem is so big that the world’s farmers are estimated to lose as much as $1 billion a year because of it, according to numbers released by McGill University in Montreal. It reduces yield and end-use quality and affects the viability of the seed for next year’s planting, according to a recent report that McGill University scientists published in the journal PLOS ONE. That report also estimated that the Canadian wheat industry loses $100 million a year to pre-harvest sprouting. The problem is caused when too much rain and humidity triggers certain wheat varieties to germinate before the crop is ready for harvest. Now the McGill team has discovered that pre-harvest sprouting may be driven by more than genetics and could be influenced by a combination of genetic and epigenetic influences. “Epigenetics is a personality of a gene,” said Jaswinder Singh, assistant professor in McGill’s plant science department and leader of the research team. “To explain, my name is Jaswinder and I wear a turban. Sometimes I wear a blue turban and sometimes I wear a red turban. My turban may change with colour but I am still Jaswinder,” he said. “It’s the same way when we are talking about genetics. A gene may be a red colour or a gene may be a blue colour, but the gene is still the same. In the case of epigenetics, the personality of the gene will change but the gene will not be different. That means that it may be expressed differently. It’s the same gene and same nucleotide, but it will behave differently.” The team studied plants from 10 wheat varieties with varying degrees of seed dormancy: • Snowbird, RL4137, AC Domain, AC Karma, SC8021-V2, Thatcher, and AC Vista are pre-harvest sprouting resistant or tolerant varieties. • AC Andrew and Sadash are susceptible to pre-harvest sprouting. • The CDC Teal variety is medium pre-harvest sprouting reactive. • The Chinese Spring variety is used as a model for genetic mapping purposes. The varieties were put in a growth chamber at 20 C under a 16 hour light-eight hour dark cycle. Singh’s team discovered that a key gene acted like a control switch to govern how a plant would respond to rain and high humidity. “In pre-harvest sprouting, we agree with other researchers that genes are involved … but something is controlling them, so we thought that this control is by epigenetics,” he said. “There are genes which are actually changing the expression of those genes on the main switch which controls (pre-harvest sprouting). That’s why this discovery has become unique.” The switch Singh is referring to is in a key gene known as ARGONAUTE4_9 in a complex pathway known as RNA

dependent DNA Methylation. The pathway is made up of several proteins that influence growth, development and stress signals. “This is a pathway by which, in the genome, genes are controlled,” said Singh. “That pathway has many different genes involved, which work together so that they can change the expression of other genes.” Singh said the plant can sense an environment where there is high humidity or low humidity, which triggers a response to express or not

express an action to environmental triggers. “If it can change all the expressions of genes made in relation to the environment or the surrounding climate, then I can think of the pathway playing a role just like a brain,” said Singh. Once the specific genes were identified, the researchers compared the way they were expressed in pre-harvest sprouting resistant wheat to susceptible wheat. Singh is confident that, with the new understanding from the research,

JASWINDER SINGH PLANT SCIENTIST

breeders will be able to select for greater pre-harvest sprouting resistant wheat varieties. The discovery has also proved important for other cereals, such as barley.

Researchers hope by identifying the gene that triggers pre-harvest sprouting they can develop resistant varieties. | HARPINDER RANDHAWA, MCGILL UNIVERSITY PHOT0

Partners preserve livestock genetics Volunteer program | Ag Canada and University of Saskatchewan collecting purebred samples

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

STRATHMORE, Alta. — Vapours waft around Carl Lessard like witch’s brew when he opens the styrofoam box containing liquid nitrogen. He carefully places thin straws on a specially designed rack and lowers them into an environment of -196 C. It is the final step in his on-farm collection of livestock semen. “Once they are frozen they will keep forever,” Lessard said, a gamete and embryo biologist who is collecting semen from purebred livestock and poultry to preserve their genetics for the Canadian Animal G enetic Resources program. A joint initiative of Agriculture Canada and the University of Saskatchewan, it aims to preserve the genetic diversity of Canadian purebreds and develop new techniques to conserve germplasm. The voluntary program is one way to bank valuable genetics in the event a breed is lost or a disease wipes out a large population. “My goal is to try and protect genet-

ic diversity,” he said. Lessard travelled to Alberta in late October to collect chicken and goat semen. One of his visits was to Givernay Farms, owned by Adam Scanlan, a purebred Saanen and Toggenburg breeder who was interested in the program to conserve goat genetics and supplement his breeding program. Under the program, he donated half the collection and kept the rest for his own use on his Strathmore area farm. Most of his bucks are proven with kids on the ground, but he wants the semen as a back-up plan or to rotate breeding programs in the future. “I can pull out the right straw from the right buck for the right doe. It gives me a lot of breeding power,” he said. Scanlan sells breeding stock to other goat producers and also supplies replacement stock to dairies. He is looking for improved milk production and structural soundness among his herd. When Lessard arrives, he checks

If they feel mushy, they may not produce semen, which is drawn with an electro-ejaculator. Each sample is dropped into a test tube and prepared for storage. The semen is slowly cooled to 4 C and mixed with an extender made from powdered skim milk, fructose and antibiotics. Goat semen contains an enzyme and reacts if an egg based mixture is used. The final product is mixed with glycerol to protect the cells during the freezing process. Water in the cells freeze when sperm is frozen, which could kill the cells. “The glycerol is so tiny, it is able to penetrate the cells and displaces the water. The water is pulled out of the cells,” Lessard said. The mixture is injected into .25 cc straws, placed in liquid nitrogen and taken to Saskatoon for safe storage. Some of the samples are thawed after they are frozen to examine the sperm’s viability because samples don’t freeze well in some animals. The program is looking for a variety of samples and is willing to attempt to collect semen from the testicles of valuable animals that died. Researchers are also interested in embryos and can also collect feathers for genetic diversity by checking DNA.

CONNECT NOW WITH SLINGSHOT GENETIC DIVERSITY The key mandate of the Canadian Animal Genetic Resources program is studying and conserving genetic diversity, gamete and embryo biology and cryobiology. It also: • acquires, maintains and distributes genetic resources; • characterizes, evaluates and analyzes genetic diversity; • develops indicators of change in domestic animal genetic diversity; • performs research on biology of gametes and embryos; • develops new techniques for conservation of genetic resources; • preserves these genetics at a global level with the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization; • works to improve current methods and develop new techniques for the conservation of all domestic livestock species.

BURDETT, Alta. — Sugar beet harvesting equipment that is new to southern Alberta is providing benefits for two area farming operations and the Taber sugar factory. Forty Mile Ventures, which is operated by the Kamper Group south of Burdett, bought a Ropa Tiger Micro Topper this year that defoliates, digs and loads beets in one pass. The German-engineered unit completes a complement of beet harvesting equipment that includes a Ropa Big Bear beet cart and a euro-Maus self-propelled machine for cleaning and loading beets from windrows onto trucks. The Maus unit is jointly owned by Forty Mile Ventures and Varekamp Farms, also of Burdett. The typical sugar beet harvesting process in the region involves initial defoliation with a pull-type chopper followed by a digger, which loads the crop into trucks. The beets are then hauled to the nearest of seven receiving stations operated by Lantic Sugar, the sugar processing factory in Taber, Alta. The Ropa system reduces labour and equipment needs. “For us, it’s quite the improvement over what we used to do,” Henk Kamper of the Kamper Group said while harvesting in mid-October. “When we started out in the sugar beets, we ran a 12-row pull type and another defoliator that was pulled by another tractor and then we’d have four semis hauling to the beet dump. Now, we basically went down to just an operation of one digger and one cart. And we have one guy on the beet Maus. It has simplified harvest by quite a bit.” Kees Kamper, also of the Kamper Group, said the beet harvesting crew has been reduced from nine men to two, who are able to dig 70 to 90 acres per day. The wide floater tires on the micro topper and tracks on the beet cart reduce field compaction, as does vastly reduced truck traffic in the field. The machine harvests eight rows at a time on 22-inch row spacing and can run at 3.5 to 4 m.p.h. Though new to southern Alberta, similar beet harvest equipment has been commonly used in Europe for years and is taking hold in parts of the United States. “It’s great technology. It’s not new technology,” said Lantic Sugar agriculture superintendant Andrew Llewelyn-Jones. “In the United States, quite a few of the co-ops are moving in this direction where Maus equipment is being used, especially in the Michigan areas and certainly in the southern Minnesota area.” The system provides a cleaner beet delivered to the plant, he added. “Because we grow beets in an area where most of the soils are character-

KEES KAMPER KAMPER GROUP

ized as sandy loams, we get a lot of sand and grit comes into the plant,” he said. “The more we can reduce that, the more efficient the equipment is to run.” The harvester defoliates, digs and cleans the beets and can hold 24 tonnes before offloading into the beet cart. The cart piles the beets in a windrow on the edge of the field. A Maus unit is later used to clean and load beets from the windrow onto trucks. Its extended reach allows trucks to remain on the road while being loaded, which eliminates problems with trucks stuck in fields, ruts, equipment damage and soil compaction. The trucks, contracted through Lantic, take the beets directly to the Taber factory. It reduces truck traffic and waiting times at the Burdett beet receiving station, where the Varekamp and Kamper crops would otherwise be hauled. Kees Kamper said he and his sons were familiar with the Ropa technology, having used it before they bought land in Alberta several years ago. “We were used to this kind of system in the Netherlands, so it’s not new to us.” Added Henk: “If you look at the global sugar beet industry, this is the way they do it everywhere else in the world except for North America.” The equipment is expensive, so they adopted it gradually, beginning with the beet cart in 2011, the Maus loader

last year and the harvester this year. Tony Varekamp of Varekamp Farms said working with Kamper made the move more economical. He estimated that it requires 1,000 acres of beets to justify the cost of the equipment, which the two farms have between them. The labour issue was a major factor in his decision to participate. “We have to compete with the oilfield, but we can’t (in wages), so that’s why we have to look at more efficient ways to deliver our products,” said Varekamp. The digger also allows more flexibility at harvest, allowing 24 hour operation if necessary to extend the harvest window, said Henk Kamper. “It enables us to dig in more adverse conditions as well, and it has reduced our cost of harvest by quite a bit.” Llewelyn-Jones said the system has raised questions from other beet growers about how it works and whether Lantic is showing favouritism in its co-

The growers concerned are not treated any differently to anybody else other than the fact that they just don’t haul the beets to the piling ground,” he said. “Whether we haul them from the piling ground or we haul them from the Maus pile, we’re still hauling beets from that vicinity to the factory, so the advantage to us as a company is that we get a much cleaner beet coming in.” Llewelyn-Jones said the company supports grower initiatives that can make harvest more efficient.

Pheasant festival welcomes hunters Wildlife habitat | Alberta Conservation Association hopes to boost awareness of habitat conservation for all game birds

FINCASTLE, Alta. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The vibrant plumage of pheasants was the most colourful thing in the brown and tan autumn landscape as novice hunters gathered Oct. 19 on the first day of the Taber Pheasant Festival.

Organized by the Alberta Conservation Association and local volunteers, the festival also featured weeklong hunts throughout the district. In all, 4,500 mature pheasants shipped from a Wisconsin hatchery were released throughout the week.

CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE

Birds that escape hunters may survive to help increase pheasant populations as habitat improves. Association president Todd Zimmerling said the pheasant festival serves several purposes. “One of them is to get people reengaged, re-interested in pheasant hunting itself,” he said. “Back in the ’70s and ’80s there were close to 27,000 pheasant hunters in the province. That dropped down as low as 5,000 about five years ago so we want to get people interested again.” Zimmerling also noted the economic benefits of hosting more than 1,000 hunters in the region. Previous studies conducted by Upland Birds Alberta shows hunters can add significantly to small town and rural economies. “We also wanted to raise the issue of habitat and habitat conservation for not just pheasants but upland game birds overall,” Zimmerling said. Habitat in southern Alberta has been gradually lost over the years as counties mow ditches, farmers cultivate more land and irrigation systems lose less water that used to encourage grass and brush cover. Landowners are now becoming more interested in creating and preserving wildlife habitat by maintaining cover along fence lines, leaving cover close to grain fields and maintaining dense grassy areas during nesting season. “Most of it is fairly minor changes that have to occur, and most landowners, once we talk to them, are quite happy to do it because they like the concept of having pheasant back on the land again.” Zimmerling said pheasants were introduced to North America about 1908. They can flourish in southern Alberta if habitat is available and winters are not overly harsh. The number of hunters in the province has been rising over the past eight years, and online registrations for this year’s event sold out in less than four minutes. Zimmerling said pheasant hunting provides easy entry to the sport, with its flat terrain and easy access. People with bird dogs also like it, which is one of the appeals for Darcy Johnson, a farmer from Vauxhall, Alta., who volunteered at novice day and is training his dog for pheasant hunting.

Building better midge traps.

Pheasant festival volunteer Darcy Johnson of Vauxhall, Alta., plans to train his dog, Remi, in the finer points of pheasant hunting this year.

“It’s nice to be able to live off the land a little bit, and I think it’s something that’s out of practice,” Johnson said while his dog eyed nearby pheasants. “Not very many people do it anymore. Its nice to be outside and enjoy what God’s made for us.” Most if not all pheasant hunters eat the birds they shoot. Johnson proclaimed it to be much better than chicken. However, the thrill of the hunt is a major factor. “The bird flushes up and it might scare the pants off you,” said Zimmerling. “It gives you a jolt and then you jump up and try to get a shot away.” Novice hunters at the first festival weekend received training from Alberta Hunter Education instructors before trying their hand at shooting live game. Experienced hunters took to the fields during the rest of the week.

Canadian beekeepers pushing to open border to imports Risk assessment | Early signs indicate CFIA won’t rule in favour of letting U.S. bees into Canada

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has concluded it’s too risky to import bees from the United States because “there is still a high probability of introducing diseases and pests into Canada.” T h e C F I A’s r i s k a s s e s s m e n t , released in late October, is a disappointment to beekeepers in Manitoba and Alberta who want to import bee packages from the U.S. Bryan Ash, a beekeeper from Gilbert Plains, Man., said there is a 30-day comment period before the CFIA makes a final recommendation to the federal government. “With risk assessments it’s pretty hard to know which way this will swing. We’re hoping, but I have no idea what our chances are.” Manitoba beekeepers began lobbying to import bees from the U.S. this spring after they suffered exceptionally high rates of winter losses. More than 46 percent of bee colonies failed to make it through the winter. Opening the border to U.S. bees would allow apiarists to quickly rebuild colonies and maintain honey production, Ash said. “When our bees die off, it takes two to three or sometimes five years, to build back up. Every time you’re building up you’re losing honey production.” Canadian beekeepers can import bee packages — a queen and two or

three pounds of worker bees — from Chile, Australia and New Zealand, but the cost is significantly higher than the U.S. In light of the record losses, the Manitoba Beekeepers’ Association asked the CFIA to review the ban on imports of U.S. bee packages. The CFIA initially prohibited the import of U.S. bee packages in 1987 because of concerns over varroa mites. Since 2003, the agency has permitted the import of U.S. queens but not bee packages. In its recent risk assessment, the CFIA made it clear the ban on U.S. bee packages should remain in place

because of four identified risks to Canadian bee colonies: • Africanized honeybees. • Antibiotic resistant American foulbrood, a disease that affects bee larvae. • Small hive beetle. • Varroa mites resistant to amitraz, a miticide. “Conclusions of the current risk assessment are similar to the previous scientific evaluation conducted in 2003,” the CFIA noted in its assessment. “As such, the risk assessment provides scientific support for the import control measures that are

currently in place for the importation of honeybees from the U.S. These measures allow honeybee queens to be individually inspected for signs of disease before importation into Canada. Such verification is not possible with honeybee packages.” Manitoba Beekeepers Association president Allan Campbell said the hazards identified in the CFIA report already exist in Canada. “The highest risk in the assessment, which was still a moderate risk, not a high risk, was importing varroa mites that have resistance to amitraz, our main control (for mites),” he said. “As long as we’re using Apivar

(brand name for amitraz) strips in our hives, which we are, we’re building resistance.” The other moderate risk was resistance to oxytetracycline, an antibiotic that protects hives from American foulbrood. “Again, it’s a drug we’re using so we’re building resistance too,” Campbell said. Manitoba and Alberta beekeepers support opening the U.S. border, but other associations do not. “When you get to B.C., Saskatchewan, the Maritimes, Quebec and Ontario, their opinions are different,” Ash said.

Glencore buys into Aussie mine

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Glencore Xstrata, owner of Viterra’s global grain handling and processing network, has reached an agreement with Japan’s Sumitomo Corp. to jointly acquire a majority ownership stake in Australia’s third largest thermal coal mine. Glencore and Sumitomo will pay $1.02 billion for a 50.1 percent share in Rio Tinto’s Clermont Mine in the Australian state of Queensland. The two companies will each own a 25.05 percent share in the mine, with Glencore operating the asset and marketing the production. Glencore and Sumitomo are also well known players in Australia’s grain handling industry. Glencore’s acquisition of Viterra easily made it the biggest grain handler in South Australia. Viterra’s grain handling assets in that state include more than 100 grain receival sites and seven bulk export terminals. Viterra’s total country storage in Australia is estimated at 10.4 million tonnes. The company handles close to 90 percent of the grain delivered into South Australia’s bulk grain handling system. Sumitomo owns a 50 percent stake in Australia’s Emerald Grain, which operates 14 regional grain marketing offices in the country and owns a 48,000 tonne export terminal in Melbourne.

Those increased costs have reduced the profit margins of many primary producers, particularly barley growers, whose crop already has relatively low market value. The centre has been working to develop barley cultivars that are more efficient in their use of nitrogen, which Kabeta said would reduce costs, increase productivity and reduce the impact of nitrogen loss on air and water quality. “Field studies and mega-analysis of available data have shown that less than only one-half of the available N is recovered in the grain of cereals,” said Kabeta. “If we develop a cultivar with superior ability to capture nitrogen from the soil, as well as utilize the absorbed nitrogen more efficiently to maximize yield, we can re duce the amount of nitrogen applied.” Nitrogen use efficiency research began in 2007, thanks in part to a grant from the Alberta Crop Industry Development Fund. Scientists initially lacked the baseline information necessar y for breeding, but subsequent analysis of long-term data, reviews of existing literature and tests of hundreds of germplasm under field conditions helped them determine that progress can be made through breeding and genetic selection. “We believe, and some previous studies have shown, that progress in the improvement of (nitrogen use efficiency) may require identification and introgression of the low N adaptive genes from across cultivated or wild barley into high yielding genetic backgrounds,” said Kabeta. With this in mind, centre scientists screened hundreds of germplasm, particularly those from exotic sources. They believe that local cultivars may have been able to adapt to low soil nitrogen levels in parts of the world where farm inputs are low. “From this screening work, we discovered some germpalsm that displayed enhanced N efficiency,” said Kabeta. “Once we realized that there is a potential for genetic improvement of (nitrogen use efficiency) and identified the germplasm source, the next logical step is crossing these germplasm to locally adaptive and high yielding materials to develop new cultivars.” The focus is on increasing nitrogen use efficiency traits, but new varieties still need to meet other requirements, including disease resistance and high grain and forage quality. Scientists have made crosses and advanced populations, selecting the best lines from those populations. They are now in their second year of testing under field conditions. “We hope that one or more of these lines may be released for commercial cultivation after a few more years of testing,” said Kabeta.

GELBVIEH CATTLE | DONATION

Purebred breeder balances cattle with Olympic duties Wrestling coach | Jeremiah Barnert sees similarities in his two careers

OKOTOKS, Alta. — As an athlete, Jeremiah Barnert seeks constant improvement in strength and skill. As a beef producer, he expects improved performance year by year from his Gelbvieh cattle. The former wrestler works as a strength and conditioning coach for 120 varsity and national athletes at the University of Calgary. Within that group are Olympic class athletes who train hard for years to hone their skills and build strength. They are also taught about nutrition. “The biggest thing is, you have to figure out how each individual athlete works, and for me, that might be adapting and changing their diet based on that,” he said. “We do a lot of tests that allow us to figure out what athletes might need on certain days.” Athletes can consume 5,000 to 7,000 calories per day, which includes a good source of protein and fats. “They do not typically chase food fads because they have enough support staff to guide them in the right direction,” he said. “I’ve had a few vegetarian athletes throughout my career as a strength and condition coach, but for the entire national luge team they are all definitely meat eaters.” Earlier this year, the Barnert family donated 600 pounds of beef to the Canadian luge team in its quest for Olympic gold at the winter games in Sochi, Russia, in February. The team placed in the top 10 at the 2012 world luge championships. “We could have donated $5,000 to the national luge team, but it could have been pushed off to the side, but the fact that we donated a cow got national news,” he said. The beef came from the grass-fed

program that Barnert and his parents, Mark and Karen, operate at Pin to Point Gelbvieh south of Okotoks, Alta. Barnert’s father is a high school wrestling coach who also tries to drive home the importance of proper nutrition to teenagers who might show up at practice with a bag of chips and a soft drink. “When they first start wrestling with us, they are eating chips and then all of a sudden they have to drink more water. Some of the guys who are serious jump right on board and start eating properly,” his father said. “When they first join, they cannot run a lap in the gym, but by the end of the six month season, they are in shape and have picked up some good eating habits. I have had kids come in flabby and leave as an athlete.” However, Barnert said poor eating habits often follow students to university. “I see a lot of high school kids come out to varsity teams and they don’t have that base of nutritional knowledge,” he said. “There is a lot of education that goes into it.” The students have left home and they don’t know how to cook or select the most nutritious food. However, they need those skills to help build their strength and succeed in a sport. For Barnert, the skills he learned from sport were integrated into his desire to produce high quality cattle. They have been a major part of his life since he was 12, when the family moved to the area. He joined 4-H and as a competitive youngster soon learned to handle big steers, select cattle and groom them. “Like sport, it gave me an outlet where I could really dive into it,” he said. His first Gelbvieh came from the Scott Severtson program at Innisfail,

Alta., and the cow produced 17 calves by the time it was 15 years old. He made the time to visit Gelbvieh breeders in Australia while obtaining his master’s degree in exercise science in that country. The cattle are similar in type, and he hopes to import some outcross genetics. Barnert is away from the farm 160 days a year and relies on his parents and four siblings to help with the cattle. Selling purebred bulls and marketing grass-fed beef is the main business. The beef is processed locally and has sold out every year since they started the program three years ago. Barnert is also talking with Calgary restaurants, and if that deal takes off, the breeding program will be adjusted to supply beef year round. He also likes to show cattle, and several years ago he had the grand champion female at Canadian Western Agribition in Regina. He has also shown at Edmonton Farmfair and the National Western Stock Show in Denver, Colorado. The goal is to build an elite cow herd, but the females are not selected for their ability to show well. “At the end of the day, it is what is on that plate, regardless of whether it is in our grass-fed program or our seed stock program,” he said. The Olympics have prevented him from showing cattle this year. The scheduling of the games has also forced him to change his calving time from February until later in the spring. The young bulls go on test while he is away, and the results will be evaluated and correlated with records on the entire herd. “We have data on all our cows and calves so we can say this is what we need to do,” he said. “It is the same as sport. We are always evaluating because it is a cause and effect.”

CONSERVATION | ENDANGERED SPECIES HABITAT

Video educates consumers on stewardship efforts Preserving grasslands | Video shows what producers do to protect wildlife habitat without compensation

BY KRISTEN MCEWEN SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Prairie grasslands provide homes to many endangered species, but recently those grasslands have become endangered themselves. Operation Grassland Community launched a 12-minute short film on YouTube in October to demonstrate how important these lands are to the livelihoods of animals and ranchers in Alberta rural areas. The film, Conservation Caravan, interviews five ranchers in southern

Alberta who participate in land stewardship programs: Top Grass Beef Ranch, TK Ranch, Integrity Ranching, Holtman Farms and Three Triangle Ranch. It explores how they use the land and find sustainable ways to conserve it. “Operation Grassland has been working with ranchers for over 20 years now, and basically we’re looking for win-win solutions between ranching and species at risk,” said executive director Kerry Grisley. “A lot of people aren’t aware that grasslands habitats are an endan-

gered habitats. She said more than 75 percent of Alberta species at risk reside in 14 percent of the province’s landmass. I n t e re s t i n b u y i n g l o c a l a n d sustainably produced food has increased in recent years, and the film was an opportunity to show people what producers are doing. Grisley said there is little else producers can do to provide sustainable production. “And I think a large part of that has to do with market failure, which is basically that the price that we’re

paying here in the city for our steaks is not accounting for the stewardship that land stewards are partaking in,” she said. “Like everybody in a business, you max the margin and you can go no further, otherwise you’re going to shoulder that cost and lose money. They go as far as they can and there’s not money there to do more.” Grisley said the stressful financial situation has prompted producers to discourage their children from taking over the business. The next step is to inform the public about sustainability.

“I think that what we need is stronger conversation (about) where are we going as a province, as a country, and what do we want to see for our landscapes and our rural communities that are stewarding those communities,” she said. Operation Grassland Community plans to hold additional public viewings of the short film in urban areas such as Edmonton, Red Deer and Calgary. Viewings are set to start in January.

Clubroot found in a North Dakota field had likely been there for several years, said the plant pathologist who discovered the plant. “The size of the area makes me believe it is nothing new. It’s been there for quite a few years,” said Luis Del Rio, plant pathologist with North Dakota State University. Unlike most new fields, where the clubroot is found at the entrance to the field, this clubroot patch, about an acre in size, was half way down the field, along the edge, said Del Rio. “It’s something that has been growing over time.” The clubroot was discovered as part of a blackleg survey in northeastern North Dakota as swathing began in the fall. Del Rio said his graduate student pulled the plant out of the ground and initially thought the strange shaped roots were caused by herbicide damage or nematodes. The plant later tested positive for clubroot, the first discovery in North Dakota. It has not been found in any other fields. Clubroot was originally discovered in Alberta and has since been discovered in a few fields in Saskatchewan and Manitoba. “I didn’t anticipate it would be coming here this soon. It has been moving quite fast,” Del Rio said. Barry Coleman, executive director of the Northern Canola Growers Association, said they weren’t surprised by the discovery. “Clubroot has been found in several areas of Canada, with Manitoba being the most recent, so it is not a surprise that it has found its way south,” said Coleman. “The good news is, there is a lot known about the disease and it can be managed.” Clubroot will now be added to the agenda of the upcoming canola producers meeting, said Del Rio, who is preparing fact sheets for farmers. He said researchers would also be stepping up their surveillance for clubroot across the region.

Move to group housing raises difficult questions Changing business | Some hog producers may leave the business or adopt a new model rather than take on conversion costs

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

RED DEER — Canadian hog producers may find it unworkable to convert their barns to provide group housing for sows, despite an international movement in favour of it. “You are undertaking a fairly substantial change,” said pork consultant Bernie Peet, who was involved in helping British producers make the change when the open housing system became law in the European Union in 1999. European farrowing rates show the performance in group systems is similar to that in sow stalls. Peet said pig performance has more to do with how people manage the animals. Often the style of barn came down to the farmer’s personal preferences. Considering the demographics of the Canadian industry with aging producers and a lot of old barns, some may decide to leave the business, he told the Red Deer Swine Technology Workshop held Oct. 30. “We have to ask the question, if it is an old barn and it is 30 years old and we don’t want to spend half a million dollars on it, should we quit?” he said. Others may decide to change from farrow to finish operations to finishing only, or renovate their current barns. Producers who decide to continue with farrow to finishing may find it difficult and expensive to convert old barns. “If it is done wrong, conversion can be a compromise,” he said. Reducing the number of sows to make more room is not a good idea. Each sow is allowed 22 to 25 sq. feet, although some may go as high as 30 sq. feet. “It is not economically feasible to keep the same building and reduce the number of sows,” Peet said. Alberta Pork is running a sow housing project that involves six farms ranging from 300 to 3,000 sows. An engineer has looked at options

for conversion, space requirements and cost implications. Producers must consider all factors before making big changes. In t h i s s t u d y , t h e l ay o u t s a l l involved the use of free access stalls so sows could freely move around. The amount of space nearly doubled from what was available in the existing gestation area. In addition, the plans showed that the space requirements for exercise and dunging were inadequate in old barns. The cost of conversion and adding the additional sow places were

$1,500 to $2,000 per sow, for a total cost of $400,000 to $2.1 million. Sows can be trained to adjust to a more open system, but better handling skills are needed to identify sick and disadvantaged animals. Hospital pens are needed in an open system because there will be more sows with health problems and injur ies. According to Danish research, most of the problems are from foot and leg injuries. “It is important to recognize these animals and treat them as quickly as possible,” Peet said.

A recovery area is also needed so sows can regain their strength before returning to the larger group. Producers must also figure out how to feed them. Denmark has fully converted to group systems and most farmers there use electronic feeding systems. One system popular in the United Kingdom called trickle feeding involves small fixed groups, which receive feed in a trough with head and shoulders dividers. The feed is trickled into the trough at a rate of 100 to 120 grams per minute. It gives

some control over how much feed they receive. Automated floor feeding can work, but it can also turn into a free for all. Liquid feeding in troughs is a simple but inaccurate feeding method, so the animals do not gain weight consistently as a group. Choosing the right system often depends on personal preference and the size of the herd. “Group size will tend to point you in the direction of one or two alternative systems you can look at more closely,” he said.

The company plans to invest $2.6 billion over the next four years in the Jansen potash project to keep its options open but has delayed production until at least 2020, looking for the right time to enter the market for the fertilizer ingredient. Chief executive officer Andrew Mackenzie said BHP was progressing at Jansen, but was cautious. “We are derisking the project by doing some of the technically difficult (work) such as sinking the shafts. That will be complete in three or four years and then we can move very fast,” he said.

UKRAINE’S SEEDING PROGRESSES KIEV, Ukraine (Reuters) — Ukraine’s farmers have sown 93 percent of winter grains area so far, data from the agriculture ministry showed last week. The ministry’s data showed that farms had sown 18.8 million acres of winter grains as of Oct.31 compared with 19.5 million acres sown at the same date last year. The latest data shows farms have already sown 15.3 million acres of winter wheat, or 93 percent of the forecast, and 2.7 million acres of winter barley or 94 percent of the expected area. Ukraine is a traditional grower of winter wheat, which accounts for more than 90 percent of its overall wheat output. The ministry said farms had harvested a total of 51.9 million tonnes of grain from 34.6 million acres or 89 percent of the area sown for 2013 harvest. It says the 2013 corn harvest was 64 percent complete and farmers harvested 18.5 million tonnes.

It marked a setback for agricultural interests hoping to limit the expansion of reserves onto farmland. In its decision, the court ratified the existence of the Serra do Sol reservation on the northern border with Venezuela and Guyana. But it ruled unanimously that 19 conditions it set in 2009 for the formation of the 17,430 sq. kilometre reserve did not apply automatically in other disputes over Indian lands, although they could serve as precedents. Brazil’s farm lobby had hoped one of those conditions, banning an expansion of the land set aside, would extend to other areas and restrict the government’s ability to enlarge reservations onto land already occupied by farmers.

NEWS HORSE MEAT SCANDAL CLOSES PLANT PARIS, France (Reuters) — Food giant Nestle will shut a frozen meals plant at its site north of Paris after sales were hit by a Europe-wide scandal that saw horse meat find its way into processed products such as ready meals, company officials said. The scandal started in January when traces of horse meat found in frozen burgers sold in Irish and British supermarkets sparked concern among French consumers and put them off frozen foods, a Nestle France spokeswoman said. “The closure is a direct consequence of the horse meat crisis,” she said. “In supermarkets, ready-meal aisles were deserted. It’s what you call collateral damage.” The plant closure will lead to 165 job cuts. France is Nestle’s second largest market in the world behind the United States. It has 30 plants in France, employing 16,000 people. LANWORTH RAISES AUSTRALIA WHEAT PRODUCTION FORECAST CHICAGO, Ill (Reuters) — Crop forecaster Lanworth has raised its outlook for the Australian wheat harvest by two percent because of better than average soil moisture in Western Australia, South Australia and Victoria provinces. Lanworth said it expects the country’s 2013-14 wheat production to reach 25.294 million tonnes, up from its previous estimate of 24.822 million tonnes issued a week ago. It reaffirmed its global crop production estimates of 955 million tonnes for corn, 288 million tonnes for soybeans and 707 million tonnes for wheat. For the United States, Lanworth slightly increased its corn production estimate to 13.795 billion bushels, based on an average yield of 156.4 bushels per acre. Its previous forecast was 13.792 billion bu., based on an average yield of 156.2 bu. per acre. It left unchanged its U.S. soybean production estimate of 3.215 billion bushels, based on an average yield of 41.8 bu. per acre. CARGILL SAYS NEW LAW TO HURT BRAZIL MEAL EXPORTS SAO PAULO, Brazil (Reuters) — The port reform law that Brazil’s president Dilma Rousseff pushed through Congress favours the export of soybeans over soy meal, said Paulo Sousa, the head of grain crushing in Brazil for U.S.-based Cargill. Brazil’s tax structure has favoured the export of whole beans over meal for a decade, unlike neighbouring Argentina, where the tax code favours soy product exports such as meal and oil. Sousa said the government’s new port terminal concession model, which will emphasize the movement of volume at the lowest cost though the ports, “is anti-industry.” The government’s push to revamp the country’s struggling port infrastructure will prioritize groups that want to open new terminals that move the most product by weight. This may put terminal operators that move higher value products at a disadvantage because their volumes may be lower even though the value of the goods is higher. Sousa said terminal operators at the ports will favour beans because meal is more expensive per tonne to move than whole beans. CARGILL NOT READY TO ACCEPT ZILMAX CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — Agribusiness giant Cargill Inc. said last week that it will not buy cattle fed Merck & Co.’s cattle-feed additive, Zilmax, and will not feed it to its own cattle, until it is “100 percent confident” the animal welfare issues are resolved. “Cargill will not use it until we are 100 percent confident the animal welfare issues are resolved, plus we will also not use it until Asia and other trading partners accept it in their markets,” the company said in an emailed statement. Merck said earlier in the week that it was working to resume sales of the livestock feed additive in the United States and Canada, though it said it was too soon to say when that would happen.

NEW GMO CORN ON TAP BRUSSELS, Belgian (Reuters) — The European Union is on course to approve cultivation of a new type of genetically modified corn for the first time in more than a decade, according to a draft proposal from the bloc’s executive arm. The proposal was drawn up after Europe’s second highest court last month blamed the European Commission for lengthy delays in the approval process for the insectresistant corn, developed jointly by DuPont and Dow Chemical. The commission is expected to send the proposal to EU ministers next week for approval. Even if governments fail to decide, as is expected, the commission will have the power to grant approval by the end of the year.

Cargill is the latest beef processor to remove cattle that have received the feed additive Zilmax from its production. | FILE PHOTO Merck had halted sales of the muscle-building drug in August over animal welfare concerns.

While it is unlikely that the crop would ever be widely grown in Europe, where GMO cultivation remains a tiny fraction of the global total, the proposal will face fierce opposition from environmental campaigners, skeptical consumers and some EU governments. The move could also revive a stalled debate over draft EU legislation to allow individual governments to decide whether to ban cultivation of GM crops that have been approved at EU level. An EU approval request for corn variety 1507, sold outside Europe under the Herculex brand name, was first submitted in 2001. But a series of safety assessments carried out in response to objections from some countries delayed the process for more than a decade. Last month’s court ruling forced the commission to act, and according to the bloc’s GMO legislation the next stage in the approval process is for EU ministers to take a vote.

NEWS BIRD FLU | H7N9

HOGS | PORCINE EPIDEMIC DIARRHEA

Hog disease increases in North Carolina 250 cases identified | The disease, which can be fatal to baby pigs, has never been seen before in the United States (Reuters) — The onset of cooler fall temperatures has increased the spread of a virus lethal to young pigs in North Carolina, a state agriculture official said. Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDv) has spread to 250 farms since June, said Tom Ray, North Carolina’s director of livestock health. While the disease continues to spread, Ray said it appears the rate of spread is slowing. “We have about 250 positive swine farms,” said Ray. “Probably about three or four weeks ago, we went from normally two to three cases in a week to three new reports in a day. That has actually started to go back to smaller numbers per week.” Ray said up to 150,000 sows could be affected in North Carolina, which is the United States’ second largest hog producer. The disease is fatal to baby pigs, with the death rate in some litters up to 80 percent. “It is definitely up,” he said of the number of infected farms. However, locating farms with PEDv has been difficult because producers aren’t required by law to report it. North Carolina had 8.7 million hogs as of Sept. 1, including a breeding herd of 870,000 head, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. PEDv is not harmful to humans nor is it transmissible through pork. It has occurred in Europe and Asia, but this is the first year that it has been seen in the United States. “You have a (hog) population that is naive because it has never been exposed to this disease before,” said Ray. “Not having this virus before, you are going to have more losses initially. We’re really holding our collective breaths because the virus has a tendency to peak in cooler weather in the winter.… It is definitely on the rise, but so is the immunity.… But we had a slower rise in the last week or so than about two to three weeks ago.” The death of baby pigs from the disease will mean fewer market hogs next spring. Heather Jones, senior agribusiness analyst at BBT Capital markets, estimates losses in North Carolina from the disease could cut weekly hog slaughter next spring by one to 1.5 percent. Longer-term pig losses from the disease should decrease as herds become immune to it and the pork industry develops vaccines to cope with it, said Ray. “Eventually it is going to be the new normal production disease.”

China’s bird flu ‘potential epidemic’ LONDON, U.K. (Reuters) — New human cases of a deadly new strain of bird flu in eastern China signal the potential for “a new epidemic wave” of the disease this winter, scientists said late last month. The strain, known as H7N9, emerged for the first time in humans earlier this year and killed 45 of the 135 people it infected before appearing to peter out in China during the summer. However, a new case in October in a 35-year-old man from China’s eastern Zhejiang province shows that the virus “has re-emerged in winter 2013” and “indicates a possible risk of a larger outbreak of H7N9 this winter,” according to Chinese researchers writing in an online journal. Flu experts have been warning that the threat posed by H7N9 bird flu has not passed, despite the marked reduction in cases during the summer. “We’re bracing for what’s going to happen next,” said Ab Osterhaus, a leading virologist based at the Erasmus Medical Centre in the Netherlands who has been tracking the virus. The first scientific analysis of probable transmission of the new flu from person to person, published in the Br itish Me dical Journal in August, gave the strongest proof yet that it can jump between people and so could potentially cause a human pandemic. Another study published in August identified other H7 flu viruses circulating in birds that “may pose threats beyond the current outbreak.” In a detailed analysis of the 35-yearold man’s case, scientists from the Zhejiang Provincial Centre for Disease Control and Prevention said it differed from previous ones in that it was a severe case in a younger patient “with no obvious underlying diseases and no obvious recent direct contact with live poultry.” Most laboratory-confirmed cases in the past had been people older than 60, many of whom said they’d had recent exposure to poultry, generally at live bird markets. The case of the 35-year-old man, plus another H7N9 infection confirmed Oct. 23, suggest the virus “has apparently continued to circulate in an animal reservoir during the summer,” the researchers said. The second October case is a 67-year-old man with no underlying disease whose work included transporting and selling poultry. The researchers said that based on China’s experience in the spring, when there were 30 cases in March and 88 in April, the best approach now would be to maintain enhanced and expanded surveillance in human and animal populations to make sure new cases of H7N9 are identified and diagnosed swiftly. “In particular, enhanced surveillance in poultry would be helpful if it can identify the H7N9 virus and inform early control measures before human infections occur,” the Chinese scientists said. “Hygiene campaigns and closure of live poultry markets can reduce the risk of severe cases and deaths.”

Grain shipper concerned about Great Lake water levels Climate change | Lower water levels on the Great Lakes may demand lighter loads on freight vessels

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

The biggest grain shipper on the Great Lakes wants water to be dammed up and pushed back into the upper lakes. Kirk Jones, director of government and industry affairs with Canada Steamship Lines, said ships will eventually carry less grain if something isn’t done to keep water levels where they are on Lake Superior and Lake Huron because the bottom is too close. “We really need to do something,” he said. “We first have to convince the government that doing nothing is not an option.” Water levels on crucial parts of the upper Great Lakes shipping channel have fallen about 23 centimetres in the last decade, especially in the last four years, Jones said. Vessels that haul freight from Thunder Bay to the St. Lawrence Seaway float close to the bottom, which means any drop in water levels will force shipping companies to reduce the amount of freight they’re carrying. On average, ships must carry one tonne less if the bottom is one cm closer to the surface. “Take 23 of them, times every ship, figure out your freight rate and that’s about a buck a tonne for every one of you wheat guys in the room,” Jones told the recent Fields on Wheels conference in Winnipeg. It equals a nine percent efficiency loss for the fleet, which Jones said isn’t sustainable, especially if water levels keep dropping as climate change continues. He said water levels are higher and back to normal levels this crop year, but that’s probably a “false

positive” based on excessive flooding. Just getting back to the old normal is likely the result of an extremely wet year in the watershed. Jones said the International Joint Commission’s approach is to adapt to the dropping water levels in coming decades. Jones thinks that doesn’t make sense because it will have a significant impact on the economy of a vast area of the United States and Canada. Instead of accepting ever-lowering

water levels, he said, the people, governments and industries that are affected should find alternatives to keeping the Great Lakes at historical water levels. He supports the idea of damming water before it flows out of Lake Erie and backing it up all the way to Thunder Bay, which would keep the system fully viable. “We don’t need pre-1972 monolithic structures,” said Jones, suggesting “flexible structures” could hold back water at certain times but still allow enough water through to keep

downstream needs fully met. Jones said the drop in water levels is mostly a product of climate change. Almost all the lakes froze over in the winter a few decades ago, but that doesn’t happen now. Some haven’t frozen over for more than a decade. As well, less water is flowing into the lakes. It means the date on which the full-efficiency shipping season begins with traditional water levels, from June onward after spring runoff, is “getting longer and longer to

take and sometimes does not even happen.” Jones said it is time for governments to begin to work on permanent actions to protect the viability of the Great Lakes system because the existing system and the industries involved are already doing everything they can to deal with lowering water levels. “We have no more of those tools,” said Jones. “We have to get to the root of the problem and have a tool that stops the water going over Niagara Falls.”

PotashCorp president expects long-term demand Short-term volatility | Company president is confident industry will rebound from shake-ups that have affected profits

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

EU feed reform could slash French GM soy imports: growers PARIS, France (Reuters) — A European Union reform meant to promote production of protein-rich crops for animal feed could cut France’s reliance on costly and mostly genetically modified soybean imports by a third, depending on who receives the aid, growers said. When EU leaders agreed on reforms to the $68 billion a year Common Agriculture Policy in June, they included the prospect that member states could use up to two percent of output-related subsidies for farmers to boost output of vegetable proteins. It remains unclear whether and how the bloc’s other 27 members will apply this measure, but president Francois Hollande said earlier this month that France would use it as part of a wider plan to help livestock farmers who are struggling with a rise in costs linked to animal feed. Farmers who specialize in growing feed crops argue that part of the subsidies should go to them because their group funds research on improving yields. “A realistic protein plan, which would lead to a French area of protein-rich crops of 800,000 hectares (two million acres), would boost domestic output by 1.2 million tonnes of soy meal equivalent, or 30 percent of the current deficit,” said Gerard Tubery, head of a French oilseed and protein growers group.

Long-term potash sector optimism was mixed with warnings of continued short-term instability as the multibillion-dollar industry celebrated a half century last week in Ottawa. It was a week when PotashCorp, the industry’s largest player, reported a sharply weaker sales and income outlook for the year as sales and prices continued to be affected by the summer breakup of an alliance between Russian and Belarusian potash exporters. “The most recent quarter can best be characterized as a predictable response to an unpredicted event,” PotashCorp president Bill Doyle said in a public statement that downgraded latest quarter profits to $356 million from last year’s $645 million. Potash prices fell 23 percent during the third quarter to an average $307 per tonne, said the company. Uncertainty causes markets to act cautiously. “This was the case during the third quarter, particularly in offshore pot-

ash markets, where significant purchases were delayed as Russian producer pronouncements left buyers waiting in anticipation of weaker prices,” said Doyle. “While this volatility does not change the long-term underlying fundamentals of fertilizer demand, it did significantly slow market activity and our ability to deliver the results we expected.” Boyle told reporters during the launch of an exhibition on the growth of the potash industry over the past 50 years that the current industry and market turmoil will have no lasting effects. “In history, it will be seen as a blip,” he said. “As an industry, we are susceptible

to short-term events.” In fact, the industry problems were nowhere in sight as industry leaders, federal and Saskatchewan politicians gathered at the Canadian Museum of Science and Technology in Ottawa to launch the Potash: Feeding the World exhibit. They called potash “the perfect product” and the key to feeding a future world of five billion people. Lynne Yelich, federal minister of state for foreign affairs and the self-styled “queen of potash” because of the four mines in her Saskatoon and area riding, said the exhibit sponsored by the government and industry was an important reminder to Canadians of the industry that few outside of Saskatchewan understand. “It’s important that we explain the miracle of this nutrient,” she said. Doyle predicted the Saskatchewan industry will grow but only through investment by existing companies. New entrants are unlikely, he said. However, Alberta MP Leon Benoit said there are discussions about developing potash deposits in his province.

CN, union reach tentative deal TORONTO (Reuters) — Canadian National Railway has agreed to a new labour contract for 3,300 conductors, trainmen, yardmen and traffic coordinators represented by the Teamsters union. The tentative three-year deal, the details of which were withheld pending ratification, came last week after a week of talks with governmentappointed mediators. It averts the possible disruption of a cross-country network that ships goods from grain to lumber to crude oil. Talks had earlier stalled over such work rule issues as working longer hours and having less rest time between trips, the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference union had said. CN, which re cently repor ted market-beating quarterly profits, has said that none of its proposals would compromise worker health or safety. The Teamsters’ previous contract expired July 22.

Field day gives farmers chance to feel the steel Fall work | Growers interested in corn may have to invest in tillage and grain drying equipment

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

TABER, Alta. — Sitting across from a dealer while examining a brochure on a winter’s day is not the time to invest in tillage equipment, says Lloyd Van Eeden Petersman of Taber Home and Farm Centre. It’s much better to see tillage tools in action and talk to representatives who know the nitty gritty. That was his thinking when he organized a late October tillage field day in a corn field near Taber, where interest in grain corn has been steadily increasing among producers. Fall field work can contribute significantly to a successful crop in the following year, said Van Eeden Petersman, who is also an independent representative for DuPont Pioneer. “Corn stover, corn stubble, if not managed properly, can be a refuge for large quantities of snow,” he said. “As the wind blows, it tends to stop in the corn and you’re dealing with your snow plus the neighbour’s snow. It could make for a cold wet spring. It’s tough for any seed to come out of that.” On the other hand, farmers don’t want to lose their corn residue and its value when it blows away in the high winds common to southern Alberta.

LLOYD VAN EEDEN PETERSMAN TABER HOME AND FARM CENTRE

Preventing that might require some method of fall incorporation. “There’s all kinds of (tillage tools) out there and they’re a significant dollar investment, so you want to make an educated decision.” DuPont Pioneer agronomist Nicole Rasmussen told growers to do their homework when choosing a grain corn variety. “The higher yield with a higher moisture doesn’t always mean more money in your pocket,” she said. “We know that the average drying cost is about five cents per bushel per percent, so those extra yields may come at a pretty significant cost if the moistures are considerably higher.” Growers who have grain dryers should consider yields adjusted for moisture because quality can suffer through drying and a higher yielding variety won’t necessarily pay off. “It’s important for growers not just to see the yield but they’ve got to make sure it’s a product that dries down to fit in their area. Each hybrid

is different, and it’s important to know what it does in your local environment.” Half the grain corn growers in this region do not have grain dryers, so they rely on field dry-down to about 15 percent before combining. That can be risky, and Rasmussen recommended a B.t. hybrid so that corn borers don’t weaken the stalks, cause crops to blow over and complicate harvest pickup.

She said all corn hybrids are rated for stalk strength, which growers should take into account when choosing a variety. There aren’t many options for B.t., but producers should check those that are available for early maturity. Rasmussen has noticed greater interest in grain corn in southern Alberta. Three consecutive years of g o o d ha r ve s t s hav e d e f i n i t e l y helped.

So does familiarity with other row crops in the region, including potatoes and sugar beets. Many farmers have row crop planters already, so grain corn doesn’t require a big initial equipment investment. “Hybrids have gotten to a point where guys can consistently get a good harvest off them,” he said. “Every year, newer higher yielding earlier hybrids come out and I think that’s part of it.”

Check out these hot chicks Poultry show | Poultry breeders strut their stuff at the winter competition

CHILLIWACK, B.C. — It comes from a long line of fighters but the Australorp is now dedicated to strutting its stuff in the show ring. The bird is one of the more popular large fowl breeds in the world of purebred poultry competitions. “The breed was developed from birds historically used for fighting,” said Clayton Botkin, president of the Fraser Valley Poultry Fanciers Association (FVPFA), which held its annual Winter Show in Chilliwack, Oct. 12-13. “It is now a purely exhibition breed, its unique feature being its tall stance referred to as its station.” Earl LaBounty of Langley, B.C., who raises Australorps, enjoyed poultry as a child and, now retired, has resumed the hobby for the challenge and satisfaction of producing beautiful purebred birds. “They are very interesting birds from the point of view that they are very social, always interacting with each other and you can interact with them as well,” said LaBounty. “Right now, I have about 300 birds but I will probably sell some and cut that down to basic breeding stock over the winter.” He selectively breeds his birds to develop a blue phase of the Australorp and entered a hen with the representative soft blue feathers, each one lined in black, in the Winter Show. “It’s very pretty,” he said. “She will become a breeding bird.” Poultry fanciers appreciate their birds for many reasons, one of the strongest being their social nature. “The one with the best personality

has to go to the modern game bantams,” said Heather Hayes, breeder, exhibitor and American Poultry Association licensed judge from Armstrong, B.C. “They are so friendly, it’s just in their nature and they are purely ornamental. The most challenging has probably been my light brown leghorn large fowl. The challenge is in the colour and just getting the breed type correct,” she said. “My most rewarding are my bantam Old English games. You can get so many different varieties within breeds that are beautiful to look at when you get it right.” Hayes enjoyed chickens as a child when her grandmother raised a backyard flock. She also had show dogs as a child, and that competitive edge led her to an admiration for purebred poultry and the fun of breeding and competing, which has occupied her for more than 25 years. She has seen many changes in the breeding industry during that time. “When I started, poultry was huge, like 2,000 birds in a show,” she said.

“The last 10 years it just stayed at the same level. Now it’s growing in leaps and bounds again, especially in the U.S. The last show that I went to had 2,700 birds.” She attributes that increase to a bigger population and the fact that bird owners in the United States do not have the housing challenges owners have in Canada with more extreme winters. However, she said Canada is on the upswing because of the popularity of heritage breeds. “People are pushing the heritage breeds,” she said. “That is any breed that was developed here in North America, such as the Rhode Island Red or the Wyandotte. That’s one of the reasons the industry is growing here. A lot of people don’t just want an ordinary white layer half-breed. They want something that’s eye candy, too.” The APA requires that heritage chickens be from parent and grandparent stock recognized by the association before the mid-20th century, whose genetic line can be traced back multiple generations and with traits that meet the APA’s standard of perfection guidelines for the specific breed. The eggs and the chickens must be sired and produced by an APA standard breed. Hayes has three recommendations for those wanting to get into breeding and showing. “One, don’t take on more than you can house. Make sure you have the facility for them. That is an absolute must. Two, don’t try to get every breed. Restrict it to one or two breeds and get to know them really well. And three, don’t keep breeds you don’t enjoy.” Junior members and helpers also attended the Winter Show in Chilliwack. Botkin said there are many events that the younger competitors can participate in, which helps them expand their knowledge of breeds and poultry, and develop an understanding of responsibility through livestock care. “I’ve been a member for almost six years,” said 17-year-old Derice Singh,

a junior director of the FVPFA. “Children love competition. It’s fun to show.” As much as Hayes believes that poultry breeding is a great hobby for children, she is concerned that many communities in Canada are losing their rural roots. Youth shows are as big as adult shows in the U.S., but she said keeping poultry in Canada is a harder sell. Climate challenges and housing needs in a typical backyard may be the biggest problems, she added, but children who do benefit from the experience of raising poultry may come back to the industry later in life. “Being able to have four or five birds in the backyard keeps kids involved,” said Hayes. “The industry is up and down and you have to work with it and persevere.” Purebred poultry are at less risk

for disease because of their more controlled lifestyle and flock numbers. Without the pressure of thousands of birds in a commercial poultry barn, these birds are carefully controlled in small groups. “It all has to do with a lot of housing,” said Hayes. “Birds stress so easily, and it will usually come out in a respiratory type of illness. The backyard flocks are less susceptible simply because they don’t have the stress of a crowded population.” At the Winter Show, Hayes won best in show with her modern game bantam pullet. Reserve best in show went to Bruce Bickle of Langley with his East Indie bantam duck. Derice Singh won junior best in show with his black Australorp pullet, while junior reserve was won by Drew Mazur from Enderby, B.C., with his bantam Old English game.

ABOUT THE FVPFA The Fraser Valley Poultry Fanciers Association had a good year. “This year, our show hosted the Western National Meet for the Modern Game Bantam Club of America,” said association president Clayton Botkin. “This is a big event, as it is the first time the club has allowed a Canadian club to host this show.” More than 500 birds were entered in the association’s recent show. Classes were held for large fowl, bantam, waterfowl, turkeys and guinea fowl. Botkin said most members focus on domestic breeds. Some of the more common ones are Cornish, Faverolles and leghorns, which contributed genetic material to modern day strains of production poultry.

Record corn crop burdens American grain handling system Rail freight costs | Ships are waiting to be loaded as a big demand for rail cars and congested traffic tests system CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — Transporting the largest U.S. corn crop on record is driving up costs for rail cars, barges and trucks. After three years of crop shortfalls that left grain supply pipelines all but empty by late summer, the U.S. grain handling system is now tasked with quickly absorbing a huge corn crop, which is projected at a record 13.8 billion bushels. Approximately half of the crop has already been harvested. “You have a record North American grain mass, and you went from zero to 100 miles an hour in two weeks,” said Charlie Sernatinger, an analyst with ED&F Man Capital in Chicago. With the bulk of the estimated 3.15 billion bu. soybean harvest complete, farmers are now turning their attention to the much larger corn crop, and yields are surprisingly big. “People were projecting a sizable corn harvest, but yield results coming in from the field are better than expected. That’s going to tax the system even more,” said Mike Steenhoek, executive director of the Soy Transportation Coalition. Costs for rail freight already surged in October, partly because of strong export demand for U.S. soybeans and hard red winter wheat. Also, grain traders say freight trains have been running slowly, especially in the western United States. “Normally they get 2.5 or 2.8 turns a month, sometimes three,” said a grain trader, referring to the number of trips rail cars were making each month. “They’re getting maybe 1.6 or 1.8 right now.” Service on the BNSF Railway, a major hauler of grain from the Midwest to Pacific Northwest export terminals, has slowed after recent infrastructure upgrade projects fell behind because of adverse weather, he said. BNSF said it was working with its customers to “address the challenging service issues the grain supply chain is experiencing during this record compressed harvest season.” Industry sources said a growing number of ships were waiting for raildelivered grain to load at Pacific Northwest export terminals. “There are lots of vessels waiting in the Pacific Northwest that are waiting to be loaded, and railroads are having trouble keeping up,” said Steenhoek. Rail cars are commonly traded in a secondary market by brokers who trade space on 100-car shuttle trains, expecting the trains to make a certain number of trips. When the trains run more slowly, these brokers are forced to pay for more freight to cover their commitments. “They have to go back and buy them from the market, and they buy them from the same guys who have the same problem that they’ve got. So the market goes up exponentially,” said Joe Christopher, a grain merchandiser with Crossroads Commodities in Sidney, Nebraska. Christopher said freight on BNSF traded as high as $2,400 a car in October, although nearby bids have since fallen to $1,300. The same freight for December is trading near $600, another grain trader said.

BEEF | EXPORTS

U.S. officials may revoke COOL WASHINGTON, D.C. (Reuters) — Members of a House of Representatives-Senate panel have indicated that country-of-origin labelling may be repealed. COOL, which the U.S. government calls a “consumer information” program, is favoured by consumer groups. However, it has been a lightning rod for dispute for more than a decade. Congress approved meat origin labelling in 2002, but it did not become mandatory until 2009. The government re-wrote the regulations this year in an attempt to satisfy a 2012 World Trade Organization ruling, but it has been challenged again at the WTO. At the first negotiating session on a final version of the new $500 billion U.S. farm bill, several lawmakers said COOL should be revised or repealed, in part because of the risk of international sanctions. “I am hopeful that working together we can prevent the imposition of tariffs on a wide array of products important to many states,” House agriculture committee chair Frank Lucas said in an opening statement. Under congressional protocol, he chairs the farm bill talks. Canada and Mexico say the law led to a decline in sales of their cattle and hogs because of additional costs to handle them. U.S. meat packers say COOL is a bookkeeping headache that also drives up costs. Defenders such as the National Farmers Union and the Consumer Federation of America say COOL helps shoppers make informed decisions on their meat purchases. They said there is no need for Congress to intervene. The U.S. Department of Agriculture says COOL is not a food safety or traceability program. Foreign food products must still meet U.S. food safety standards. Republican senator Pat Roberts from Kansas, one of the largest U.S. cattle states, said he would support a House provision that was under development and expected to be a repeal clause for COOL. Senate agriculture chair Debbie Stabenow said COOL “clearly is one of the issues” for farm bill negotiators.

Guenter offered the right fix

BY KRISTEN MCEWEN SASKATOON NEWSROOM

H

enry Guenter contributed to The Western Producer for six years, writing the Inside Machines column on problems found in combines and service tractors. “I used to work at Massey Ferguson for 28 years, so I had tips for people to learn,” Guenter said. “I know about (their problems) from experience.” Guenter tested and reviewed new equipment as a technical service manager at Massey Ferguson, which later became Agco. He travelled extensively to farms during those years across Western Canada and 19 states. Farmers would identify problems on their machines and Guenter would fix them. As a result, he decided to take his experience in machinery to print. “I felt I had some things I could write up on, tell people some of my experiences as a farmer,” he said. “They (readers) didn’t need books or ideas, they needed someone that’s been around the country, and I seemed to be the man.” Guenter wrote more than 50 columns during his time with the Producer. He wrote about how important it is to service a tractor and provided safety tips for hydrostatic drives and the basics in electrical circuits.

Western Producer readers have moulded the farms, villages, towns and cities throughout the West into the rich, vibrant communities we see today. We’ve enjoyed being there alongside for the past 90 years. As part of 90th anniversary celebrations, our Tell Us Your Story project invites readers to share their memories and connections.

In 2011, the Producer helped him put together a book of his columns, which he sold to his readers. Guenter said he felt valued as a columnist. “They (the Producer) accepted my advice at face value and just printed (my articles) and made me feel important,” he said. “I got a lot of feedback. In fact, (Western Producer managing editor) Michael Raine, he said mine was the most responded to than any article he was in charge of.”

I

am not sure we qualify for another article on getting hitched. I had contacted The Western Producer about us and then Adrian Ewins did an article on Feb. 12, 2009. At that time, I had just started chemotherapy on Jan. 22, 2009, and was lucky I still had my long hair. It all fell out shortly after that. Radiation treatments followed right after chemotherapy was done. On Aug. 30, 2013, Joe and I will have been married for five years (together for 7 1/2 years). They never gave me much hope as I had advanced Stage 3 cancer. So far I have proved everybody wrong. On Sept. 1, 2014 , (cross my fingers and toes), I will have been cancer free for five years. Joe has had health problems the last couple of years. We are each other’s rock to lean on. When we married I was lucky to additionally get three adult stepchildren: Lynn, Heather and Russell. To date Joe and I have six grandchildren. Thank you for bringing us together. Congratulations on your 90th anniversary Western Producer. Growing up, I can’t remember your paper not being part of our household. My father was a farmer.

There are many reasons to buy a pre-owned John Deere tractor or combine, and they all come down to one thing. Value. Technology. Consider–a 3-year old John Deere 8R. When it came off the line it was AutoTrac™ Ready and JDLink™ enabled*. With one phone call to your dealer, you can begin using precision technology to help reduce inputs, improve yields, and get more done in less time. Uptime. You can’t make money standing still. Pre-owned John Deere equipment, like a 9770 Combine, comes fully supported by your John Deere dealer. The pay-off: reliable, consistent performance, backed by an unrivaled dealer network. Resale value. John Deere tractors and combines are among the best in the industry at holding their value. So when the time comes and you’re ready to trade up to another used or new John Deere tractor or combine, your investment delivers yet again. Now is a great time to buy.

ADM says GrainCorp purchase delayed Approval from regulators in China and Australia won’t be complete until 2014 CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — Archer Daniels Midland Co.’s planned $2.8 billion acquisition of Australian grain handler GrainCorp Ltd. will likely be delayed until early next year. ADM, one of the world’s top grain traders, also reported that adjusted third-quarter earnings fell as U.S. crop supplies remain tight following a historic U.S. drought last year. “ADM’s fundamentals should improve, reflecting large global crop supplies and ongoing strong demand,” said Ken Zaslow, an analyst for BMO Capital Markets. The GrainCorp acquisition is part of ADM’s strategy to expand globally and lead to increased exports to China and the Middle East. It is the latest move in the rapid consolidation of the global grain sector amid intense competition to feed fastdeveloping countries such as China. ADM had planned to complete the deal by the end of the year. It awaited approval from regulators in Australia and China, where GrainCorp has an edible oils facility. Australian treasurer Joe Hockey said this month the deadline for a regulatory decision was extended to Dec. 17 because of the transaction’s size and “complex nature.” “We expect closing to be some time in the first quarter of 2014,” said ADM chief operating officer Juan Luciano. Last year’s U.S. drought hurt grain companies by slashing the volume of grain available for them to buy, sell, transport and process. ADM’s net earnings for the third quarter rose to $476 million, or 72 cents per share, from $182 million, or 28 cents, a year ago, as an accounting credit lifted results. Adjusted earnings were 46 cents per share, down from 53 cents in the same period a year ago. Analysts expected 47 cents, according to Thomson Reuters. Profits in ADM’s core agricultural services business dropped by $152 million to $102 million, after adjusting for special charges a year ago. Earnings from crop merchandising and handling declined by $104 million to $4 million as low U.S. crop supplies reduced export volumes and international merchandising was weak. Revenue totalled $21.39 billion, down from $21.81 billion a year ago but above expectations of $20.62 billion.

Greenhouse tests LED lights on yields First year trial | LED lighting appeared to increase the yield and size of mini cucumbers

BY JEFFREY CARTER FREELANCE WRITER

ADM PROFITS IN CORE AGRICULTURAL SERVICES WERE DOWN

$152 million

DRESDEN, Ont. — Installation costs are considerable, but the operators of a vegetable greenhouse in British Columbia have seen enough potential that they are expanding their array of LED lighting. “We’re going to double the area of our trial to give us more confidence in the results we’re getting and we’re also going to make some changes to the irrigation settings,” said Ken Ng, manager of the Langley operation. Last winter, the yield of minicucumbers in the four rows where the lights were installed increased by up to 19 percent while adding only eight percent additional light. The fruit matured sooner and was slightly larger. Ng plans to try different irrigation settings in the coming year and vary the length of time that the lights are used. The LED were lit for 18 hours a day over the past growing season, which is the same amount of time that the high pressure sodium (HPS) lighting system was operated. The HSP lights are located overhead, while the LEDs are located within the upper canopy of the plants. Ng said they emit light from the red and blue spectrums at a fourto-one ratio. The positioning and size of the leaves were different with the LED lights, said a news release from Phillips, which makes the lights. They were darker and smaller and had less

Ng said trials in tomatoes and cucumbers have demonstrated that the highly focused light from LED arrays help plants more efficiently produce sugar, which is their basic building block. LED lighting is also energy efficient but the initial cost of the system is substantial, he added. “I think that’s the main factor that not a lot of greenhouses are using this,” he said. “We have to look at the cost benefit and how best to use them. Like any new product in the market, at the initial stage, it’s more expensive.” There’s also interest in LED lighting in Ontario. Shalin Khosla of Ontario’s agriculture ministry, said he’s involved with research conducted by Xuiming Hao of Agriculture Canada’s research centre at Harrow, Ont. Some Ontario growers are experimenting with LED lights to supplement natural sunlight, while others are combining them with HPS lighting. Southern Ontario, especially Essex County, receives more hours of sunlight over the winter than southern B.C. Khosla said greenhouses in more northerly growing areas place a greater reliance on artificial lights.

Waste isn’t wasted on this dairy farm Creating power not just a pipe dream | Bio-gas units turn waste products into an asset that lowers costs

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

GUELPH, Ont. — The bio-digester and generating station on the Clovermead dairy farm has been feeding power into the electrical grid for more than a year. It’s all going so much according to plan that it’s about as exciting as watching a clock on the wall, which is exactly what the Whale family wants. Korb Whale, a civil engineer by training and trade, returned to the family farm near Drayton, Ont., a decade ago to become the seventh generation manager of the operation. While away from the family dairy business, Whale designed bio-gas projects and studied with an American dairy producer who had been running his own bio-gas plant for 25 years. He returned to Clovermead convinced that the latest bio-gas technology could be applied to the family farm and its 150 head of cows. Today, the family operates a $3 million bio-gas facility that not only sells electricity to the grid but has given them the biological tools to run their dairy in a more sustainable, environmentally friendly manner. “And that was our goal from the beginning,” he said. “Selling power to the grid is the fac-

The gas buyer required that the biogas be cleaned to a much higher standard than straight bio-gas. The cleaning equipment would cost $500,000 and hookup to the pipeline already on their property would cost another $500,000. However, the real wrench in the works came when they found out that the buyer would pay only the going price for natural gas in Alberta. “Put the numbers together and we were looking at a payback of about 150 years,” he said.

“In a sense, we liked the efficiency of gas better because it meant we could sell about 60 percent of the energy our bio-gas digesters could produce, but that was a give-away price. Selling electricity means we sell only 40 percent of the energy we’re capable of producing. But the economics are better, so that’s why we choose to generate power for the grid. Hookup to the power grid cost almost as much as hookup to the gas line, so that factor was a wash.” Whether they sell gas or electricity, the family tries to use as much of the wasted heat as possible, but most of it is vented to the atmosphere. The first component in the operation is bio-gas production, starting with digestate in the mix tank. The main source is manure and bedding from the farm. Off-farm materials arrive on the farm in large, blue, poly tanks, which are heated with excess heat from the system. Materials include waste and bedding from a chicken-processing plant, wash water from a cookie factory, banana peels and onion skins. The concoction is blended, agitated and heated in the mix tank at 40 to 50 C. Water is then added so it can be pumped to the pasteurization plant, where it’s cooked for an hour at 70 C to kill pathogens. All heat used in the

process is re-captured waste heat from the system. A pump is triggered automatically every two hours to move a small amount of the pasteurized liquid into the bio-digesters. Whale said all the equipment from the input lid on the blue poly tank to the outlet spouts on the bio-digesters cost $1.5 million. The flat top building between the two bio-digesters is the control room, containing heating manifolds and other equipment, as well as a platform roof so that staff can go up in person to check the bio-digesters. The same bio-digesters would have been used whether they sold gas into the pipeline or power into the grid. Together, they can produce 500 kilowatts for the grid, but the Whales have been able to sell only half that amount. The bio-digesters are identical, each holding 1,000 cubic metres and standing 24 feet high. Each flexible rubber dome consists of two layers: the inner bubble rises and falls, depending on the volume of gas it holds, while the outer bubble always holds the same shape because air is pumped between the two membrane layers. The $500,000 electrical generation station consists of a German-built Leroy-Somer generator powered by a

The Clovermead dairy farm in southern Ontario is creating its own power through bio-gas production. Here’s it does it: • Incoming waste from 150 head of dairy cattle is collected and transferred to a heated mixing tank along with off-farm waste from a separate, heated plastic tank. • Inside the mixing tank, the barn manure and other waste products are blended into a slurry, which is pumped into a pasteurizer.

• The pasteurizer heats the slurry to 70 C to remove pathogens. • The mixture is then pumped into a distributor that meters small amounts of waste into twin bio-digesters. • The bio-digesters have flexible rubber domes that can expand to accommodate the gases produced as the slurry is processed and converted into solids, liquids and gas. • The gas is pumped to a 250 kW generator, which powers the needs of the dairy barns and other buildings as well as powering the bio-gas units.

ABOVE: Korb Whale tells farmers interested in his family’s bio-gas system how they can leave the power grid behind. RIGHT: The Whale family decided to produce bio-gas for a more environmentally sustainable farm. However, they needed the revenue flow from electrical generation for the $3 million project.

Man bio-gas converted diesel engine. It is a six-cylinder engine, with the biogas ignited by sparkplugs. “The life expectancy before a major overhaul is 60,000 hours,” he said. “That’s eight years of continuous operation, but the maintenance schedule is very strict. We have daily maintenance, plus we run oil samples every 250 hours. The service crew comes out on a regular basis. They detected a problem on one of their visits a while ago and ended up doing a top end re-build on warranty.” Whale said bio-gas is highly corrosive and requires a lot of cleanup before it can go into an engine. The two biggest enemies of an engine are moisture and hydrogen sulfide, and bio-gas contains plenty of each. To help combat these two foes, the system design uses almost all stainless steel parts and incorporates 700 feet of buried gas cooling pipe, which captures condensed water and some of the sulfur. Whale said he also takes action against hydrogen sulfide back in the bio-digester. “Theoretically, our bio-digesters are anaerobic, but we cheat a little bit by adding just a small amount of oxygen to the gas region between the liquid and the inner bubble,” he said. “The inside of that gas region has a giant wooden structure that looks like a big wagon wheel, and it’s covered with tiny bugs. We have a small aquarium pump sending oxygen to those bugs so they can do their work. With help from the oxygen, the bug eats hydrogen sulfide and drops elemental sulfur back into the liquid and it releases hydrogen. The bugs bring our hydrogen sulfide levels down to less than 150 (parts per million) from 2,000 p.p.m.” The wires leading from the generating station to the grid are what pay the bills for this project. Whale said the electrical power needed no scrubbing, filters or conditioners to take out the bumps. “Our power is better than they have on the grid. When our electricity goes on grid, their overall quality actually improves. The equipment has all been designed and built to a very high standard.” Finally, an old-fashioned, low-tech screw press separator squeezes liquid out of the leftover digestate and produces a brown, fibrous material that looks like peat moss. “We use it for all our bedding now. It absorbs 200 to 300 percent more moisture than straw and it’s a fantastic growth medium for plants.” The grid pays slightly less than 20 cents per kW. Going into the project, he figured they needed 16 cents per kW over a 12 year period to break even. There’s a slight escalator built into the contract, however how much money the project will make over the longer term still isn’t known. “We received a $400,000 outright grant from OMAFRA (Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs), but ever ything else is financed. Putting this deal together took a lot longer than we anticipated. The biggest frustration was dealing with the bureaucracies. Farmers are a lot further ahead on these kinds of things than the regulators.” For more information, contact Korb Whale at korbwhale@hotmail. com.

Bio-gas production motivated by family’s philosophy

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

GUELPH, Ont. — Some farmers decide to generate electricity solely for economic gain, but Korb Whale said it was strictly a farming decision for him and his parents. Selling power to the grid allowed this seventh generation Ontario dairy producer to steer the future of the farm in a direction that better matched the family’s philosophy about how the farm fits into the surrounding world. “Our family has always believed in the whole notion of sustainable agriculture, but it has to be economically viable before you even consider mak-

ing these kinds of major changes and investments,” Whale said. “The bio-digester and the opportunity to sell power to the grid closed the loop for us. We needed three things to happen to close that loop. We needed to produce our own bedding instead of buying it. We needed to produce high quality fertilizer and at the same time reduce weed seeds and pathogens. Those were the two factors that were strictly farm related.” Whale said it helped that the biogas had an economic value whether sold raw or converted into electrical power for the grid. “If we hadn’t been able to arrange for a decent long-term contract for

our electricity, then we couldn’t have gotten the financing and we would have no bio-digester today,” he said. “So yes, the bio-digester was an onfarm decision to help us farm the way we want to farm. Electricity is really just a byproduct for us. It helped us facilitate our decision.” He said investing in solar or wind energy was ruled out from the start. Their motivation was to make the farm friendlier to the environment. Neither solar or wind power would have affected how they deal with manure and the environment. Whale said another factor was that bio-gas can be turned on and off to meet demand, and it can be stored. Solar and wind generators make

power only when the sun shines or the wind blows. The power cannot be as easily stored. The concept of sustainable agriculture is also a key focus for the University of Guelph’s environmental sciences department, just a short drive from Clovermead Farm. Monitoring impact Claudia Wagner-Riddle from the university is documenting the environmental impact of the Clovermead project as it continues to evolve. “We documented the farm’s fugitive emissions into the atmosphere prior to the bio-digester. Whenever you have manure being stored, you

obviously have emissions,” said Wagner-Riddle, who added “nobody assumed the system can totally eliminate emissions. “One main benefit to the environment is that electricity generated from manure replaces electricity derived from fossil fuels. In addition, you avoid the emissions normally coming off stored manure. But you still get fugitive emissions from the bio-gas reactor, plus from some of the leftover digestate. We need to account for all of that.” She said the university began monitoring the site before construction began and has continued monitoring since it became fully operational in August 2012. With that much air quality history on file, she’s confident the data they have now is valid. The retention time for a specific amount of digestate is 90 days, so numerous cycles have gone through since she began taking samples. She said this adds to the confidence level of the data. “So far, the data is telling us that emissions into the air have been reduced by 50 percent at the farm site.” In a separate project, the environmental sciences department is studying gas emissions into the atmosphere given off from liquid manure injected into the soil. Atmospheric emissions from soil injected with raw liquid manure are compared to emissions from soil injected with liquid manure that has passed through the bio-digester. Wagner-Riddle said weather has interfered with the study, so no conclusive results are available yet. However, she said nitrogen is more concentrated in the liquid coming through the bio-digester than in raw slurry. It also has less carbon and is more readily available to the plant. She said these factors make it easier to manage than raw liquid manure. Heat lost

While all the data seems like good news, Whale said there’s still one wasteful aspect to the operation. A tremendous amount of heat goes to waste every hour, even though they use the excess heat for as many purposes as possible on the farm. A greenhouse on the farm would be a perfect fit because of the reliable supply of cheap heat. Plants can use the carbon dioxide coming from the engine, and the digestate is perfect for growing plants. As well, there’s an abundance of high-quality liquid fertilizer. “But we’re dairy farmers, not horticulturalists. We’ve already diversified as far as we want for now. There’s plenty of opportunity here if someone wants to make us an offer,” Whale said. “We’re generating power from manure and other waste products that were otherwise bound for the landfill. We have twice as much available nitrogen for plants and no loss of phosphorous or potassium in the system. “We’re killing weed seeds and reducing pathogens so ground water is safer. We’ve reduced greenhouse gases and our carbon footprint by 40 percent. I have to say that we’re satisfied with how it’s working so far.” For more information, contact Claudia Wganer-Riddle at cwagnerr@uoguelph.ca.

Machinery manufacturers expect sales to slow Demand declining | Farmers’ need for new machinery declining after several years of growth

BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Farm equipment manufacturers and sellers are planning to put fewer machines in farmers’ hands in 2014 but say that is OK. The Association of Equipment Manufacturers, which tracks its members’ sales of new equipment, said the trend for agriculture is flat or slightly lower this year. Combine sales in September fell almost 36 percent compared to the previous year, and four-wheel drive tractors are off 53 percent year over year in that month. However, John Schmeiser of the Canada West Equipment Dealers’ Association, said one month doesn’t tell the whole tale of equipment sales in 2013. He said it has been a good year for new machinery sales until recently, and despite September’s sales figures, the number of combines marketed overall has dropped only 1.4 percent year over year, while 4WD tractors are up 1.5 percent. “We have seen 20 percent or better growth year over year for the past three years,” he said. “The market is finding a point where it doesn’t need as many (new) units every season.” He said a significant decline in commodity prices is likely having a limited effect on producers’ decisions to purchase. Jim Wood of Rocky Mountain Equipment in Alberta said there was pent up demand for machinery after the poor price and production years leading up to 2008. “Strong commodity prices and good crops lead to significant changes of business for farmers and farm equipment companies,” he said. With about 36 farm machinery dealerships in the Rocky Mountain chain, Wood has seen the market for new machinery jump dramatically, but said the demand is likely softening for next year. The introduction of the final form of Tier 4 emissions standards will add additional costs to large tractors, as well as high clearance sprayers and combines for the 2014 and 2015 model years, which might also affect farmers’ motivation to buy. Wood said dealers are planning to sell fewer new tractors and combines but are still looking at strong sales of sprayers and seeding equipment. “And precision (agricultural) equipment sales are a ver y big growth area for us,” he said. “As a (consolidated) dealership group, we are able to concentrate on marketing services and grow some of our smaller operations, so as a business we have plenty of areas to build sales and profitability in.” Earlier this year, Jim Walker of Case IH said that he feels North American combine sales will settle into a more reasonable 10,000 to 11,000 annual sales total, rather than the 13,000 that have been marketed in the past few years. John Deere also plans to scale back combine manufacturing next year and increase sales in sprayers and application technology, as well as smaller tractors over 100 horsepower.

Schmeiser said high yields in Western Canada and a return to average growing conditions in the United States after a record drought has meant producers throughout North America will still be in the market for machinery, despite lower commodity prices. Walker said his company sees slightly lower demand as an opportunity to concentrate on technology improvements both in the equipment and the manufacturing processes. Wood said issues related to a glut of good, late model used tractors and

combines in the system are improving, with inventories being reduced by many dealers. “We are finding ways to sell those units, and farmers are adding additional equipment to take advantage of the supply of good, used machines,” he said. Wood expects to see many growers keep their tractors and combines slightly longer than the one or two seasons seen recently. “Farmers were coming to us and buying what we could get. They are still coming in, but now they want a quote and they take it away to think

about,” he said. “How many new combines can we afford to sell. We had to flush through the used.… Bourgault ran out of drills last year. A little slower won’t hurt most companies.” Schmeiser said two wheel drive tractors over 100 h.p. are among the hottest products in Canada. “That is a sign that producers are investing in their operations for the long haul,” he said. “Those are the tractors that drive augers, haul grain carts, mow and bale. That was once a job for older machines. Not any more.”

POLITICS | CONSERVATIVE VETERAN

Farmer says political activism brought rewards

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

CALGARY — When the Reform party’s winds of change began blowing across the Prairies more than two decades ago, farmer Sam Magnus took notice, although he was not an early political adapter. The grain and cattle producer from Luseland, Sask., had always voted Progressive Conservative, but by the early 1990s he had lost the faith. “It just seemed the PCs didn’t care about rural Canada or the Prairies,” 55-year-old Magnus said during last weekend’s Conservative Party convention, reflecting on his long journey from simple voter to political activist who has spent countless hours and driven many thousand kilometres in support of the Reform, Alliance and Conservative parties.

“It seemed to me when I talked to my MP, he was telling me what Ottawa thought we should think.” In contrast, the nascent Reform party was preaching grassroots power and bottom up decision-making. “It appealed to me and I switched my vote in 1993 and joined the party a few years later,” he said. Since then, he has been an organizer and a senior player in the various parties that ended up being the current Conservatives. On Nov. 2, his term as national council member from Saskatchewan ended. So was the activism and donated time worth it, particularly for his farm? Has the journey from upstart party to opposition and now government really changed anything? “Absolutely, it has made my farm more profitable by giving me more ability to make my own decisions,” he

SAM MAGNUS CONSERVATIVE DELEGATE

said. “Not everyone agreed, but getting rid of the wheat board monopoly really has opened up a lot of opportunity, more than we imagined when we campaigned for it. Regulations have been reduced, trade deals open markets and competition for our product helps raise prices. Absolutely it has been worth the journey.” Magnus argued that just as important a change has been the belief in

rural Saskatchewan and on the Prairies that the current government listens. It doesn’t hurt that his MP, Gerry Ritz, is the agriculture minister and that he got to know party leader Stephen Harper during his years as vicepresident of the Alliance party. He has better access to policy makers than the average farmer. Of course, opponents of the Conservative agenda disagree with Magnus’s analysis, seeing just another government imposing Ottawa-down policies that are not in the interests of the farmer majority. However, he notes that for the past 20 years, the various iterations of the current government have won the vast majority of rural Prairie seats with strong farmer voting support. “There will always be critics but I think our success says something.” Meanwhile, the ascent from politi-

cal outsiders to government means the Conservatives now are held responsible for their actions and decisions, whether record deficits several years ago or the current Senate expenses uproar that increasingly entangles Harper’s office in the controversy. Was it more fun being outsiders criticizing? “Not at all,” he said. “I love being in a position where we are able to make change.” While he concedes some mid-term fatigue among members, perhaps in part over the Senate issue, Magnus predicted energy and enthusiasm will return as the election gets closer. “It has been a long trip with lots of hours but when I look back, I wouldn’t have missed it,” he said. “I’ve learned more about politics as teamwork than I ever learned in school.”

Foodgrains bank eager to support innovation Thinking outside the box | Organization urges developing countries to experiment with new farming methods

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Teaching neat prairie tricks like conservation tillage is a great way to help farmers in developing nations protect their precious farmland. But an even more valuable prairie asset for overseas farmers in poor and challenging circumstances is the spirit of inventiveness, says the executive director of the Canadian Foodgrains Bank. “We’re really trying to encourage farmers to see themselves as not only receivers of knowledge but also as innovators, as generators of knowledge,” said Jim Cornelius in an interview at the Winnipeg Foodgrains office. “How do we support them in that,

and make that a virtuous cycle?” The Canadian Foodgrains Bank is well known for its role in getting food to people in areas of hunger. Sometimes that food has come directly from the Prairies and sometimes it has been purchased overseas, but most of it has been paid for by farmer contributions of either money or crop. The organization also supports extension work, helping small farmers develop their skills and systems to provide more food for themselves and protect their land from degradation. Much of the developing world faces environmental challenges that can lead to soil erosion if not addressed properly, such as the threatened

zone of the Sahel on the southern fringes of the Sahara desert. Those are areas where farming techniques from the western Prairies can be adapted and used, since prairie farmers have long dealt with treacherously dry conditions and the constant risk of soil erosion. More than the specific methods, Cornelius hopes that the Foodgrains Bank can help farmers in developing nations to embrace the culture of invention seen across the Prairies. The methods used in Canada were often developed by farmers themselves. There’s no reason other farmers can’t be equally innovative. “It took experimentation and innovation by some to figure out how to make it work and get the support

systems in place. Then the adoption can come fairly quickly,” said Cornelius. “We’re really trying to encourage farmers to see themselves as not only receivers of knowledge but as innovators, as generators of knowledge.” There are areas of hunger and famine now, but there are fewer than in the past, said Cornelius. That’s a testament to the development and stabilization work done by many organizations and developing nations. With a combination of internal development and education, hunger should be further pushed back, Cornelius hopes. However, climate change threatens to reverse that improvement.

“You don’t go anywhere in Africa where the people don’t say the climate’s changing,” said Cornelius. “It seems extreme environments are the first to feel effects, just like our North.” Farmers could face more droughts, more floods, more volatility and political instability if climate change increases, so helping overseas farmers develop farming techniques like conservation agriculture that will protect their soils is one of the key ways to help protect threatened areas against famine. “We see that as one of the adaptations that’s really going to be important for helping communities adapt to the changing climate patterns that they’re facing,” said Cornelius.

Red white-face is all the rage Feed efficient | Breed regaining market share

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

If there is such a thing as high fashion in the livestock trade, then white is the new black in Canada’s cattle industry. Albert Rimke, a Hereford breeder from Oak Lake, Man, said cattle producers are asking for animals with white faces. “Personally, I think a lot of the cattle buyers are wanting to see the white face on the cross-breds because they know the (cattle) have the feed efficiency… and the docility,” Rimke said inside the Hereford barn at the Manitoba Livestock Expo, held in Brandon Oct. 31 to Nov. 2. As kids, dads and moms trimmed cattle hair, led heifers to shower stalls and forked manure to garbage cans, there was a buzz in the Hereford barn at the expo, possibly because interest in the breed is surging. “There is definitely an increase. On the bull side, in the last couple of years we’ve pretty much doubled our sales,” said Brent Blaine, Manitoba Hereford Association president, who farms near Brandon. “More people coming into the Hereford barn: stopping, chatting and asking questions.” Blaine agreed that white faces are a hot commodity right now. “A lot of the commercial guys are wanting to bring in some the British influence … bring some of the white faces into their animals. It’s definitely made a (significant) improvement as far as sales.” Andrew Kopeechuk, the association vice-president who farms near Brandon, is also seeing more demand for his purebred Herefords.

“We just had our own internet-based sale and it did really well,” he said. “With us, we’re moving more animals to western Ontario, into that cattle country around the Rainy River area.” There was a time, about a generation ago, when Hereford breeders didn’t worry much about the status of the breed. Back then the Hereford breed ruled the Canadian cattle industry, said Doug Troop, a cattle producer in the Brandon area. Eventually, other breeds pushed Herefords off the mountaintop. “Thirty years ago we had more Hereford cattle registered than all the other breeds together,” said Troop, a Manitoba Hereford Association director. “I think we got complacent. Bulls were kept that shouldn’t have been kept.” To regain lost market share, Hereford breeders and associations have trumpeted the desirable traits of Hereford cattle — particularly feed efficiency. As corn, barley and wheat prices rose in recent years, so has interest in Hereford genetics. “We’re seeing more Angus herds looking for Hereford bulls to make their own Black Baldy cross,” Troop said, over the whirr of fans at the livestock show, keeping bulls and heifers cool. “The Black Baldy cross has always been a mainstay of the commercial industry.” To capitalize on the breed’s reputation for feed efficiency, last year the Canadian Hereford Association initiated a study at Olds College in Alberta to identify efficiency traits. “We eventually hope to develop an EPD (expected progeny differences) for feed efficiency for our breed,”

Andrew Kopeechuk, who raises Herefords near Brandon, prepares a heifer for the show ring at the Manitoba Livestock Expo, held in Brandon Oct. 31-Nov. 2. Kopeechuk and other members of the Manitoba Hereford Association are witnessing more demand for the breed, because cattle producers want the feed efficiency and docility associated with the white face of a Hereford. | ROBERT ARNASON PHOTO Gordon Stephenson, Hereford association manager, said last year. The genetic information should help breeders select animals that are more efficient at converting feed. While Hereford breeders wait on that data, white faces may endure as a trendy look within the cattle business, unless corn prices fall to $3 per bu.

Lloydminster stockade champions set to hit fall cattle show circuit

BY KRISTEN MCEWEN SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The first few chords of Michael Jackson’s Thriller played through the speakers Nov. 1 as champion cows and calves entered the ring at Lloydminster’s Stockade Roundup. Judge Rob Garner ultimately chose a 2,045-pound Black Angus, shown by Jennifer Jones of Lloydminster, as the female supreme winner. “I raised her from a calf when she was a bred heifer,” Jones said. “She won quite a few shows and she won the first lady classic in Regina in

2011. Since then, she’s kind of been my little pet. And this year (I) got a calf that I really liked, very fancy, so I’m ready to take her out for the rest of the fall.” Farmfair and Canadian Western Agribition are the next stops on the circuit for Jones and her winning cow. That’s also the plan for Rocky and Debbie Payne of Payne Livestock in Lloydminster, who won the bull supreme grand champion with their 2,230-lb. Limousin. “It’s a pretty prestigious show to win because there’s lots of good cattle

here,” Rocky Payne said. “The top end is luck of the draw, right, because all of the different breeds, everyone out there, is kind of a winner.” Payne said he plans to sell the bull at Agribition. “It’s obviously good to win because it’s good promotion. Hopefully it’ll help him sell and it promotes our name and all that.” Earlier in the day, the final rounds of the purebred cattle shows featured Limousin, Red Angus and Black Angus. Agriculture manager Sam Hardstaff of the Lloydminster Exhibition

Centre said this year’s event saw an increase in exhibitors, with about 300 cattle on show. “In previous years, 2002 and 2003 (it was) slow,” she said. “The cattle industry wasn’t quite strong in this area and in ’02 and ’03, numbers were down and now it’s coming back to be strong.” Breed champions and reserve champions: LIMOUSIN: Grand champion female, Greenwood Limousin, Lloydminster; reserve, Cottage Lake Livestock, Stony Plain, Alta.

BULL’S EYE VIEW

Canada misses its surveillance target BSE monitoring | Shortfall blamed on fewer tests from Saskatchewan and Alberta

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

MANITOU BEACH, Sask. — Canada did not meet its BSE surveillance target last year and risks losing its controlled risk status if the trend continues. Producers attending the Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association district meeting in Manitou Beach Oct. 22 heard that the country fell short of its 30,000 sample requirement by about 2,600. According to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency website, 27,371 samples were collected in 2012. None tested positive. That compares to 33,458 collected in 2011 and one positive result. The website notes that there had been 24,029 tests as of Sept. 30, all of them negative. Howard Toews, SCA director for District 6, read a letter from provincial veterinarian Dr. Betty Althouse to about 40 producers. “This is a direct result of decreased testing in Alberta and Saskatchewan,” the letter said. “Although there have been no immediate effects of failing to meet testing requirements in 2012, we are at risk of losing our current international status (of controlled risk) if this continues. Also, there will be no chance of ever improving our BSE status in the future.” The alarm was sounded last year when the CFIA noted that the number of samples was dropping. Sa s k at c h e w a n s a m p l e s hav e increased 70 percent from last year, but the province still won’t meet its 7,400 target. The samples should come from what’s called 4D cattle: diseased, down, dying or dead. A points system implemented by the World Animal Health Organization (OIE), places higher value on samples from those types of cattle. One producer at the meeting noted he simply hasn’t had the cattle to test. “I think I’m doing a better job of getting rid of those cows that get old enough that will go down or get sick or something, moving them sooner when they’re younger and can still go to the auction mart,” the producer said. Others noted that the value of cull cows has risen and animals are moving to slaughter sooner. Brad Wildeman from Pound-Maker Ag Ventures said fewer samples will be required if Canada moves to negligible risk. According to OIE rules, countries move to negligible risk status 11 years past the birth date of the most recent positive BSE case. The last confirmed case in Canada was born in 2004. “We need to make sure our testing keeps up and then we can apply,” he said. Some producers said they simply forgot about testing, while another said the $75 that is paid for samples

“isn’t enough money to bother with.” Wildeman said hundreds of thousands of fed cattle can be tested at slaughter but it won’t help Canada’s cause unless they are exhibiting signs of disease at the facility. That would rarely happen because truckers won’t load cattle showing signs of problems.

A&W burger promotion draws ire of beef producers ‘Pure beef’ campaign | Off-shore sources concern Alberta producers

BY BARB GLEN & BARBARA DUCKWORTH LETHBRIDGE, CALGARY BUREAUS

Stem cell therapies require more research ANIMAL HEALTH stem cells — or a placebo. The person administering the treatment, the owner of the animal and the person analyzing the data should not know whether an individual animal received the treatment to avoid biasing the results with the so-called “placebo effect.” This type of clinical trial is difficult to do with companion animals or expensive horses because most people want their animal to receive the treatment, whether or not there is evidence to suggest it is beneficial. Participants also have to be willing to bring their animal for follow-up appointments and fill out surveys that assess their impression of the treatment. Arthritis and tendon injuries are the most commonly studied subjects of stem cell therapy because they occur frequently in horses. Interesting studies involving tendon injuries in racehorses have found that stem cell treated horses were more likely to return to racing and were less likely to suffer re-injury compared to conventionally treated horses with similar injuries. This difference was thought to be due to less scar tissue formation in the stem cell treated horses. The work on arthritis treatment does not seem to show a definitive benefit. The benefits of stem cells to treat humans are also being actively investigated, with horses and dogs providing a naturally occurring pre-clinical animal model. As with many disease processes, the shorter lifespan in animals provides a unique way to study human diseases. Moving novel therapies from the research lab to human patients is a long, arduous process designed to protect patient safety. Similar safeguards are not in place for veterinary applications of treatments such as stem cells, and despite this unknown quality, offer a unique opportunity to study the application of stem cells in naturally occurring disease settings that are much more similar to human injuries that rodent disease models. Stem cell therapy is not without risks. Bacteria and fungi can inadvertently be injected into the animal receiving treatment, resulting in serious infections. Carefully cleaning the injection site and including antibiotics in the injection can minimize this risk. There is pain associated with the injection in some animals, which is suspected to be caused by distention of the joint from the added fluid. The necessity of heavy sedation in horses and anesthesia in dogs and cats is another potential risk. And of course, there is the cost associated with an unproven treatment that may not benefit the animal. The price tag isn’t cheap either; expect to pay $1,000 per treatment. Researchers working on stem cell therapy in horses and dogs have not reached a consensus on the best way to harvest tissues (fat versus bone marrow) or which particular cells are being cultivated. This has led to problems comparing different studies.

FORT MACLEOD, Alta. — A beef promotion launched by A&W Restaurants this fall is proving unpopular with Alberta beef producers. The “100 percent pure beef campaign” advertises meat from animals raised without added hormones or steroids and has been criticized at nearly all fall zone meetings of Alberta Beef Producers. Members contend that much of A&W’s beef is now coming from offshore sources, including Australia and the United States, with a small percentage from one Alberta ranch. “It’s a shot over the bow and we didn’t really respond as strongly as I had hoped,” rancher Larry Sears said at the Oct. 28 Zone 2 meeting. “Just about every cow-calf producer has cows that are (added) hormone free, so that product would be available anywhere where there is a good herd health record within Canada. So it was disingenuous to suggest that product wasn’t available and also disingenuous to not identify where they were

sourcing their product from to the consumers of Canada. It’s off-shore beef.” Susan Senecal, chief marketing officer for A&W, said last week that the chain is working to expand its Canadian supply of beef with no added hormones, and that it has a good relationship with Canadian cattle producers. She added that response to the campaign has been “overwhelmingly positive.” The A&W promotion prompted a resolution at Goodridge, in Zone 8, suggesting ABP launch its own campaign to tell consumers the restaurant chain is using off-shore beef. At a Zone 5 meeting in Spruce View Oct. 29, ABP executive director Rich Smith said the campaign shows little respect for the Canadian beef industry. He said A&W will require substantial foreign imports of beef to fill its requirements, which Canadian producers could have supplied if they had been given adequate notice. ABP vice-chair Greg Bowie said at the Fort Macleod meeting that the association discussed its response when the campaign first arose but decided overt objections would only create more publicity for the franchise.

“Particularly in the rural A&W locations, if all of us guys who are producing the beef go in there and tell them we’re not eating here anymore and we’re not pleased with their campaign, they’ll start phoning head office, and head office will hopefully rethink the whole thing,” said Bowie. Ryder Lee, manager of federal and provincial relations with the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association, told the Fort Macleod meeting that CCA officials met with A&W suppliers when the campaign was being planned and succeeded in changing it to some degree. “If it came out how it was going to come out, it would have been a lot worse,” said Lee, though he later declined to elaborate. “Really, you can only do so much before having a public wrestling match that really would have probably given them more visibility than they’d earned in their campaign. It got toned down a lot.” He said CCA has also taken heat from producers for commenting on the campaign at all. Some of them say the burger chain is differentiating product and focusing on beef, which is good for the industry.

laims of the benefits of stem cell therapy in animals are often reminiscent of the magic snake oil potions from the turn of the last century. Stem cells are touted as the ideal treatment of a large number of ailments, including arthritis, kidney disease and tendon and ligament injuries. Unfortunately, scientific evidence has not kept pace with the explosion of private companies offering stem cell therapy for animals and the demand for treatment from the public. In veterinary medicine, dogs and horses are by far the most common recipients of stem cell therapy. It has been commercially available for animals for almost a decade, but there are few studies evaluating the efficacy or long-term safety of this treatment. Some tissues, such as skin, have a remarkable ability to regenerate and heal with minimal loss of function, but others, such as cartilage and tendons, have little capacity to regenerate and heal through scar tissue formation, which is weaker and less functional than the original tissue. Additionally, it can take years for tendons to heal and even then, they are less functional than the original tissue. For this reason, treating arthritis and tendon injuries is difficult and a major incentive for people to try stem cell therapy. Stem cells are cells that have not yet specialized to form a certain tissue type. However, not all stem cells are created equal. Some have the ability to develop into any cell type in the body, while others are more specialized and can create only certain types of tissues. Tissues such as fat or bone marrow are har vested from the animal undergoing treatment. From this sample, stems cells are grown in small Petri dishes, which enhance the development of stem cells. Once a large number are cultivated, they can be injected back into the area of injury. The central concept of stem cell therapy is that these cells will divide and heal the damage in a better way than normal healing mechanisms, which often causes loss of function through scarring. Stem cells are thought to divide and replace the lost tissue in a way that allows return to function and reduced inflammation, which causes ongoing harm in diseases such as arthritis. There is little risk of rejection by the immune system because stem cells are the animal’s own. A lack of properly designed, blinded clinical trials is a major impediment to investigating whether stem cells are beneficial. Well-designed studies randomly assign animals to receive either the treatment of interest — in this case,

Junk to one is treasure to another COWBOY LOGIC beds of once-loved junk. And she was there to lend a hand if they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a bid on whatever bucket or box of goods they were hawking. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Will you bid a dollar?â&#x20AC;? Liz would be there to help them out. One day she came home with a dollar box bargain that convinced Dad she had either lost her marbles or that the church ladies were spiking the concession coffee. She proudly showed him a nice box of empty beer cans that she got for a buck. Maybe she emptied them before the bidding started, he wondered. In the days before internet, she somehow tracked down and subscribed to a beer can collectors magazine. She ran an advertisement in it to sell her old, empty Dakota beer cans from the long ago discontinued Dakota Malting and Brewing Company. She got $20 a piece for those cans. Dad said nothing more. It was our familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most lucrative junk deal. However, we still have boxes and boxes of those 1950s era Life magazines. They were 15 cents when they were new and folks are asking $5 to $40 for some of them on eBay. Let me know if you need a few (crates) of them. Two bucks a piece. Negotiable. So offer me a buck and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take it. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what us junkers do.

Good handling facility saves time Managing flocks | Producer says an efficient handling facility can save 45 minutes per ewe

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

A good handling facility is the best labour saving device for farms, says an Ontario sheep producer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Handling facilities donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be fancy, just effective,â&#x20AC;? Anita Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien, a former Ontario Agriculture sheep specialist, told the Alberta Sheep Breeders Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent conference. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We use it so often, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the most heavily used equipment on the farm.â&#x20AC;? She said she moves her farmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s portable handling equipment between flocks on rented fields. Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien said an Irish study that compared facilities estimated good handling facilities save producers 45 minutes per ewe per year. The money saved from reduced labour quickly adds up, she added, especially for larger flocks. Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien said a good handling system is necessary for her Ontario sheep farm, which has 425 ewes. She plans to add another 100 animals this spring. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We rent a lot of pasture and can take a portable system to each pasture where it is needed.â&#x20AC;? A quality digital weigh scale is Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brienâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next best labour saving device. Her farm was able to double the number of lambs weighed, moving to 170 lambs from 80 per hour, after switching to a digital scale. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem fast. It is just steady.â&#x20AC;? A good cull strategy also saves time, said Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien, who uses an ear notching system to easily identify cull animals. Animals that need deworming multiple times a year, have health problems or poor conditioning and performance automatically have two holes punched in their ears. She said it is a simple way to know what needs to leave the farm without looking at farm records. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We cull ewes not pregnant at scanning, ewes that are dry at wean-

ing, ewes with poor udder conformation, plus the usual lumps in udder, broken mouth and thin ewes,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We use the notching system so I have an easy way to identify them when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re coming down the raceway.â&#x20AC;? A good working sheep dog is another labour saving device on Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brienâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do what we do without Border Collies,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They can move a lot faster and work a lot harder than people can. It really does eliminate the need for another person, or two or three people.â&#x20AC;? Grouping animals into ideal breeding and lambing sizes also helps save trips to the barn during lambing. Walking to the barn or field to check on two ewes that may lamb gets a bit tiresome, but synchronizing ewes at breeding or having ewes lamb in a tighter cycle will help shorten the long lambing season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I strongly believe one of the easiest ways to manage labour is pull the ram out. Be committed to pull the rams out so you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have stragglers for weeks and weeks,â&#x20AC;? said Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien, who leaves the ram in for 34 days, or two breeding cycles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The beauty of that is we have a definite end to the lambing period. Being in a barn checking umpteen times a day for 40 days is long enough.â&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien said producers should try to reduce the amount of time they spend bucketing feed and water to the animals by using communal waterers or hay feeders, especially when the sheep are in lambing jugs. Matching forage bales to flock size is another trick to saving labour. Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien suggested matching flock sizes to the amount of feed in each bale to prevent waste. Labour saving methods change as flock sizes change. Producers need to continually evaluate how they manage their flocks, she added.

skis, chairs, wooden horse hames and a nice collection of Life magazines from around 1950. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think I had thrown that much stuff in the horse trailer until I had to write up 77 price tags. The tags had become more suggestions than prices on some of the items after the first few hours of the sale. I probably should have written them in pencil. When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a chance to move some junk to someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home or pasture, you have to be ready to negotiate, especially on the heavy stuff that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d just as soon not load and unload again. My mother was a junker before junking was cool. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d swing by the local dump ground to peruse, and she travelled the farm and household auction sale circuit, often with a friend or with us kids in tow. Mom was a favorite with the auctioneers. She was good natured, so they could joke with her and make her a part of their rambling banter as they worked their way through the endless offerings on the endless flat-

U.S. CATTLE SHOWS | MAKING THE WINNER’S CIRCLE

Producing winners with shampoo, drugs Muscle-building cattle feed additives give competitors the edge DALLAS (Reuters) — For more than a century, ranchers and their kids have paraded cattle around the dusty show ring at the State Fair of Texas in Dallas, in a rite of passage that is part farm economics, part rural theatre. Today, with U.S. auction prices for champion cattle topping $300,000 a head and hefty scholarship cheques for winners at stake, the competitive pressures are intense. It’s no wonder animals with names like Beast or Chappie get the farm version of luxury spa pampering — shelter from summer heat, baths with pricey shampoos and careful coiffing with electric razors. Many also get muscle-building livestock drugs added into animal feed. While performance-boosting drugs are banned today in most human sports competitions, Zilmax and other drugs of a type called betaagonists are federally approved and generally allowed on the livestock show circuit. For many contestants, the secret weapon of choice is Zilmax, a controversial feed additive sold by Merck & Co. Zilmax-based feeds can give show kids an edge in the headline competition for market-ready steers and heifers, say show sponsors and competitors. They add thicker meat where judges like it most, between the 12th and 13th ribs, where rib-eye steaks come from. Merck temporarily suspended Zilmax sales in the United States and Canada in August, soon after the largest U.S. meat processor, Tyson Foods Inc., stopped accepting Zilmax-fed cattle for slaughter over animal welfare concerns. After Merck last week said it was preparing to return Zilmax to the market, food giant Cargill Inc. declared it would bar Zilmax-fed animals from its supply chain until it was “100 percent confident” those issues are resolved. But in cattle shows at state and county fairs across the farm belt, Zil-

Despite the halt in sales of Merck’s zilpaterol — Zilmax is the trade name — existing stockpiles of Zilmax-based show feeds circulated at fairs this fall. So, too, did products made with Optaflexx, a rival drug by Eli Lilly & Co.’s Elanco Animal Health group that is based on ractopamine, also a beta-agonist. Ractopamine has not been tied to the animal welfare issues seen in cattle this year. “If it’s legal, you use all of your options,” said Justana Tate, 17, a Texas state fair competitor, her championship belt buckle gleaming as she stroked her snorting steer to calm him. Tate is a Zilmax fan. “I think it’s a fabulous product,” she said. For drug giant Merck, the show feed market is a tiny slice of Zilmax’s U.S. sales, roughly $160 million last year. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration considers Zilmax safe for animals and humans, though regulators say it requires labels warning people not to inhale the drug or handle it without gloves. Zilpaterol can cause dizziness and shortness of breath when inhaled and cause rashes upon contact with bare skin, according to Merck and the FDA. While the drugs remain popular with contestants, some show organizers are cracking down by testing for zilpaterol. The organizers say they are taking their cues from the FDA, which has approved zilpaterol for use in steers and heifers slated for slaughter but bars it for use in breeding cattle and dairy cows as well as goats, pigs, sheep and horses. Muscle-building staple Many of the fresh-faced kids who compete at cattle shows have seen beta-agonists on their family farms or feedlots. Full-strength Zilmax, when added to feed weeks before slaughter, can add about 30 pounds of muscle to the average 1,300-lb. steer. When those children begin competing, some reach for medicated show feeds, which are readily available at rural feed stores and via the Internet, say competitors and show organizers. Merck does not make show feeds. Instead, feed mills blend the company’s Zilmax with protein, fat, fibre or other products, and then market the mix under trade names like Showmaxx, Power Champ and Zillarator. The Zilmax in show feeds is far less potent than what is fed to commercial cattle but still adds muscle definition, show participants say.

22ND ANNUAL CONFERENCE

NEWS Feed Industry Association’s vicepresident for nutrition and feed regulation. The practice is legal — and pragmatic. “You want them to buy feed when they grow up,” Sellers said. Zilmax has not been implicated in any human health problems, according to Merck and a review of FDA records. Only one adverse drug event has been reported to regulators, in which a person who inhaled the drug reported pain, vomiting and difficulty breathing. According to the FDA, makers of Zilmax-based show feed products are required to list safe-handling instructions — and tell people to wear appropriate masks, gloves and eye protection when scooping it out to feed to their cattle. Merck includes an FDA-mandated user safety warning on its Zilmax labels. Merck said it shares the wording of the labels with companies that buy Zilmax from Merck to use as an ingredient in their products. The FDA requires any product containing Zilmax to carry this user safety warning, according to FDA officials. In 2012, regulators found that a popular Zilmax show product called Showmaxx was made in a federally unlicensed feed mill and lacked safe-handling instructions on its packaging. Showmaxx marketer XF Enterprises, a nutrition consulting firm in Amarillo, Texas, last year voluntarily recalled Showmaxx. The company did not respond to repeated requests for comment. But the FDA leaves labelling oversight to state regulators, and state officials in cattle-heavy Texas and elsewhere told Reuters the federal Food and Safety Act does not clearly state that such cautionary warnings on these lower-dosage products are required. The FDA disagrees. In practice, feed products have been approved for sale without safe-handling instructions. When Reuters this fall purchased a Zilmax-based feed called Zillarator over the Internet, the product arrived in a plastic bucket that bore no safehandling instructions. Likewise for another Zilmax-based additive called Power Champ. Manufacturer Suther Feeds Inc of Frankfort, Kansas, said it consulted with Merck on the language used for its label. A state regulator later approved the product’s labelling. Merck said in a statement that it provided a copy of a standard label template, including the safe-handling language, to Suther Feed. Michael Johll, chief operating officer of Suther Feeds, said his company adhered to state and federal rules. “If there’s something that we’ve failed to do, we’ll do it. I don’t believe we have,” Johll said. At the Texas state fair, champion steers routinely fetch six-figure prices at auctions held just after winners’ belt buckles are handed out. The same goes for the recent American Royal livestock show in Kansas City, Missouri, or the National Western Stock Show in Denver, Colorado, in January. Slaughterhouses and agribusiness firms often buy the winning steers and market heifers to burnish their brands and encourage youngsters’ farming careers. After that, the animals are slaughtered. The zeal at livestock shows can run so hot that there have been drug abuse allegations in the past, though Zilmax has not been implicated. During the 1990s and 2000s, scandals roiled shows in Ohio, Missouri, Colorado and elsewhere when some champion livestock tested positive for clenbuterol, a muscle builder that leaves toxic residues in meat. Now, drug tests are common at livestock shows, with malefactors who use growth hormones, steroids or other unapproved drugs facing lifetime bans. At the Texas state fair last month, collecting a urine sample from a 1,329-lb. champion steer named Corndog required a certain amount of finesse. But veterinarian Dick Shepherd and his animal health team armed themselves with funnels, specimen cups and patience. “If you’re going to let them use anything they want to, you end up with everyone using drugs rampantly,” Shepherd said. He was not testing Corndog or other steers for zilpaterol, since the drug has been approved for cattle. Some parents and cattle ranchers want beta-agonist use banned at shows. Arizona rancher Harvey Dietrich, co-founder of advocacy group Beef Additive Alert, said the shows are fueling a culture of shortcuts. But Daryl Real, vice-president of the Texas state fair’s agriculture and livestock department, shrugs off concerns. The FDA allows Zilmax in beef cattle heading to grocery stores, he reasoned, so contestants should learn to use it, too. Real said most contestants use Zilmax responsibly: Even in Texas, judges don’t want steers to be too big. “I liken it to the way I like whipped cream on a dessert,” Real said. “A little bit goes a long way. You can have too much whipped cream and ruin the dish.” To use and not to use Supplies of Zilmax show feeds have dwindled since Merck’s sales suspension in August. Even so, some Zilmax-based products are still being sold online, and several show contestants told Reuters they had stockpiled their favorite feed additive after Merck’s announcement. At the Sandwich Fair in DeKalb County, about an hour west of Chicago, this September, Kendall Nelson, 14, said he was using a Zilmaxbased feed this show season. His father, Philip Nelson, a cattle rancher and president of the Illinois Farm Bureau, said he does not use beta-agonist drugs on his livestock. But the younger Nelson began experimenting based on advice from a livestock nutritionist, the father said. The youngster’s steers rapidly grew, though they fell short of winning blue ribbons at this year’s Illinois State Fair. “It’s not dangerous,” said Philip Nelson. “If it was, the government wouldn’t let it be put out for sale without a label.” Some young competitors say they’d rather win without Zilmax. Ten-year-old Saige Martin of Hereford, Texas, raised her steer Corndog free of beta-agonists, said her father, show cattle breeder Brian Martin. Corndog’s closest competitor was a 1,318-lb. cross-breed steer named Rojo, and 16-year-old Caitlen Doskocil of Holland, Texas, used a ractopamine feed “to stout him up,” said Caitlen’s father, Doyle Doskocil. The family’s supply of a Zilmax-based feed had run out, he said. Inside the Texas state fair show ring, Corndog — named after the popular American snack because of his coloring — towered over Saige, whose cool smile masked her jitters. A judge slowly circled the steer and ran his hands over the back, feeling for a thick padding of muscle. Corndog impressed, and later was named grand champion steer. At auction, he sold for $110,000, a fair record. Saige got a $30,000 cheque for her college fund — after Corndog passed his drug test.

Stanley Kelley and his daughter, Kaley, of College Station, Texas, talk prior to showing her Charolais steer in the prospects competition at the state fair. Stanley Kelley said he uses the medicated feed additive Showmaxx for some cattle to increase the amount of middle meat cuts like T-bone, rib eye, porter and sirloin steaks along the steer’s back. He said it also builds lean muscle in the hind quarter, known in show terms as “putting a butt on.”

The first sizeable biodiesel operation in Western Canada is up and running. Kyoto Fuels Corp. has successfully commissioned its 66 million litre multi-feedstock plant in Lethbridge. “We’ve demonstrated it works and made a lot of people very happy,” said Kyoto president Kelsey Prenevost. “Now it’s time for the next stage, to turn it on and get it ramped up to that full production.” He expects the plant to be producing the alternative fuel at its full capacity later this month. The facility will initially use canola oil as its primary feedstock, but it is also equipped to process animal tallow into biodiesel. The plan is to eventually incorporate alternative crops such as camelina and carinata. Rick White, general manager of the Canadian Canola Growers Association, welcomed the addition of another big canola buyer, especially one that is located close to where the crop is grown. “We don’t have to export it. We don’t have to get it into other countries and face tariff and transportation costs to get that stuff overseas,” he said.

KELSEY PRENEVOST KYOTO PRESIDENT

“It’s nice to have a domestic market here that we can serve.” Ian Thomson, president of the Western Canada Biodiesel Association, is thrilled that the West finally has its first large-scale plant. “Anybody who has been working on the industry for this long will be happy to see a plant of commercial scale opening, so it’s great news,” he said. Alberta’s provincial biodiesel mandate has been in place for more than two years with nothing to show for it, other than a small demonstration facility in Airdrie. Prenevost said the plant took longer to build than anticipated. The biggest stumbling block was raising the capital to build the $40 million facility at a time when markets were cautious coming off the 2008 global financial meltdown.

There were also unexpected engineering changes because Canadian biodiesel buyers wanted a fuel that was superior to the ASTM industry standard. “That required some additional engineering and some additional work on our side to make sure that our system was going to be compatible to that standard. It was an extra level of fun,” said Prenevost. He is grateful to the province, which provided the company with a $10 million capital grant in addition to a 13 cents per litre production incentive, which lasts through 2017. The company has also received a production incentive from the federal government that will be worth 10 cents per litre in 2014 but declines over time until running out in 2017. The remainder of the money for the project came from shareholders and banks. The shareholders are mainly individuals from southern Alberta. The company hopes to make its first sales in the near future once its loading systems have been accredited. Kyoto will sell its fuel primarily to oil companies in Alberta, Saskatchewan and British Columbia, but it also intends to ship to the United States. It will source its super degummed canola oil from major crush facilities

in Western Canada. The plant would require canola seed from 163,000 acres of farmland if it relied totally on canola oil. Canada’s two percent biodiesel mandate requires 330 million litres of the fuel to be used in Western Canada. Nearly all of that demand was p r e v i o u s l y b e i n g m e t b y U. S. biodiesel. The imbalance will be addressed by the Kyoto plant as well as the 265 million litre Archer Daniels Midland plant in Lloydminster, Alta., which is expected to open soon. “We’re looking forward to satisfying some of the requirements of the (mandate) in Canada as it should have been done, with local supply,” said Prenevost. The company doesn’t intend to stop at one plant. “The cards are on the table for development of a similar-sized plant almost immediately,” he said. It would be built adjacent to the existing one. However, the focus for the timebeing will be on getting the first plant running smoothly. “Now that we’ve started production, we need to get it into a roll and (into) continuous production. After that we’ll start having those discussions fairly quickly,” said Prenevost.

Maple Leaf Foods posts poor results from meat sales Volatile protein market blamed | The company is considering the sale of its interest in Canada Bread (Reuters) —Maple Leaf Foods has reported lower-than-expected results for the third quarter, hurt mainly by weakness in its meat business. Excluding special items, the company, which is undergoing a major restructuring, posted a loss of one cent per share, compared with a yearearlier profit of 13 cents. Analysts on average had expected earnings of eight cents a share, according to Thomson Reuters. Maple Leaf said revenue slipped 2.5 percent to $1.15 billion. Analysts had forecast $1.2 billion. The company’s results missed expectations mainly because of poor performance in the meat division, “This is a very challenging period of transition for the Maple Leaf organization, as the short-term impact of volatile protein market conditions, combined with the significant cost of change, has been material,” he said in a statement. Maple Leaf is carrying out a multiyear program to upgrade its meat operations by modernizing some plants and shutting others as it seeks to boost profits and better compete with U.S. rivals. It has also put up for auction its 90 percent stake in Canada Bread Co., although it said a sale is not ensured. It recently reviewed its opportunities to accelerate profitable growth across its $1.6 billion bakery business. However, before committing resources, it decided to explore alternatives, including a sale of its stake in Canada Bread. “This is about a great business with a good view to help it to grow profitably over the next four or five years, but because we’re at a crossroads ... we felt it was prudent to consider the alternatives,” McCain said. The company sells bread under the Dempsters brand and other food products under banners such as POM, Ben’s and Sunmaid. It targeted Mexico’s Grupo Bimbo, one of the world’s largest bread makers, and private equity firms, as potential buyers, according to several people familiar with the matter. Approval by the Canadian government would be necessary for a foreign investor to buy Canada Bread. Since that announcement, Canada Bread sold its Olivieri Foods fresh pasta and sauce business to Spanish food processing company Ebro Foods SA for about $120 million. Olivieri accounted for less than 10 percent of Canada Bread’s revenue in 2012. In August, Maple Leaf struck a deal to sell its Rothsay rendering and biodiesel business to Darling International Inc. for $645 million.

RETIREMENT FINANCES | PLANNING AHEAD

Examine retirement needs, goals to ensure sufficient finances PERSPECTIVES ON MANAGEMENT retirement, such as a house, cottage or extensive travel? • Are you planning to make asset or cash gifts to your children? If so, how much and when? • Do you wish to leave a financial legacy to family, community or other causes? There is a free, downloadable retirement calculator on my website at www.backswath.com. Similar calculators are available from investment advisers, but mine is farm-specific and adapted from Manitoba Agriculture’s RetirePlan. It requires that you enter certain information, such as: • birth dates • life expectancy • inflation rate • rate of return on investment • current income tax rates You are asked to record your current monthly living costs, which is one area where I find information to be insufficient. Detail is important. If the information is not readily available, work through an exercise to determine your actual living costs. The calculator applies the inflation rate you provided and forecasts what your living costs through retirement will be, so it’s important to get an accurate starting point. Pension information is required. Old Age Security information is readily available through the Canada Revenue Agency website. Canada Pension Plan information is specific to an individual, and you can determine your entitlement by visiting a Service Canada office or by accessing www.servicecanada.gc.ca. The retirement calculator also records savings, such as registered saving plans and tax free savings accounts, large capital expenditures in retirement and large inflows of money, such as those from the sale of land. Ongoing income in retirement is also entered, such as employment and land rent. The calculator provides a summary once information is entered. It indicates if there is enough money through retirement and what residual may exist, given life expectancy. It will also indicate if there is a shortfall. What-if scenarios can be entered. For example, the retiring generation estimates they will need $500,000 from the farm to adequately fund their retirement. Working through the calculator indicates there will be a shortfall by age 76. They can increase the capital from the farm to $750,000 and see if that will be sufficient. Any number of options can be considered, such as increasing rental income or decreasing retirement needs. There is another significant benefit to using the calculator: the ongoing farming generation can apply the retirement estimates to the farm’s ongoing financial performance. How will the $750,000 be paid? Will it be financed in whole or in part? How will this affect the farm? Scenarios can be analyzed in an attempt to find mutually workable arrangements. The calculator should be updated at least annually to reflect changes in family and farm circumstances.

TERRY BETKER

T

he financial needs of the retiring generation are often not worked through in detail when developing a succession plan. This critical piece of the plan is unintentionally lost in tax and estate planning discussions. It’s important that retirement living costs be analyzed in detail to ensure that enough money will be available to support the standard of living that the retiring generation desires. Without adequate planning, the retiring generation may find that their income is not sufficient. They are often unable to make adjustments to meet their needs, either because of a lack of time or because of previously completed asset distribution. Year over year living costs are one consideration. For example, large capital expenditures can significantly affect financial affairs. As a result, it’s important that the retiring generation ask questions, do research and gain a thorough understanding of their financial realities in retirement before completing the transition of ownership and management. Issues to consider Here are questions that the retiring generation can ask to stimulate discussion regarding retirement and related financial needs: • What do you envision yourselves doing in retirement? • How much income will you need to live this way? • What are your current costs of living? • Have you thought about inflation pressures and how this might affect your retirement needs? • Are you planning to buy big ticket items in the five years following
