‘The Yards’ brings new twist Canadian Western Agribition | The new venue provides a fresh platform for exhibitors

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

REDVERS, Sask. — Sheldon Kyle’s smartphone has become his most important marketing tool.

This year he sold a package of 14 replacement heifers on Twitter to an Ontario buyer. However, that doesn’t mean he’s abandoned sales venues such as Canadian Western Agribition.

This week, the family’s Red Angus operation from southeast-

ern Saskatchewan is one of the tenants in The Yards, a new feature at the annual show now underway in Regina.

Based on a similar venue at the stock show in Denver, the concept offers a marketing platform to livestock producers to use as they see fit, said Marty Seymour, Agribition’s chief executive officer.

“It’s a 20 by 20 pen and it’s your house,” Seymour said. “You can do whatever you want in that space.”

Some exhibitors will simply run

their cattle on straw, while others might offer a lounging area and trade show display. This differs from the purebred barns, where the display rules are more strict.

Seymour said the idea is to drive more traffic to the commercial cattle area, although The Yards will contain both commercial and purebred animals.

Additional lighting and heating in the area known as the Stock Exchange, formerly the commercial cattle barn, should make it

more comfortable for exhibitors and visitors.

The idea has proved popular, and there was a waiting list for space.

The area officially opens Nov. 14 and exhibitors must be there the following two days, although some exhibitors may be there earlier.

The Kyle family intends to use their space to showcase five of the 15 heifers they will sell in Kenray Ranch’s first online production sale the week after Agribition.

Glyphosate research: who should we trust?

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

It’s not easy for Stephen Duke to contain his enthusiasm for glyphosate.

Duke, a U.S. Department of Agriculture weed scientist, described glyphosate in a 2010 paper as a ”virtually ideal herbicide,” a “precious” herbicide resource and the “world’s greatest herbicide.”

To back up his impassioned comments, Duke said glyphosate kills nearly every weed on the planet. What’s more, its benign chemistry is actually safer than common household items.

“It’s less toxic for acute toxicity than table salt or aspirin,” Duke said from his office at the University of Mississippi. “Technically, you’d have to eat more glyphosate than you would salt or aspirin (to reach a lethal dose).”

AGRIBITION | FROM PAGE ONE

The Yards: a new venue “It’s like a cow eBay,” Kyle said.

Pictures, video and information about each offering are already online.

Agribition visitors can then check out some of the animals, as well as the Kyles, during a visit to The Yards.

Online bidding begins Nov. 20 and closes the evening of Nov. 23.

“The last person with the highest bid is the new owner of the heifers,” Kyle said.

He will also be tweeting regularly during Agribition, as well as updating the ranch’s Facebook page and holding interactive draws at the display. He will host a Tweetup at the stall Nov. 15, in which Twitter users get to meet face to face. Twitter users can check out #cwa13tweetup.

Ray Kyle, Sheldon’s father, said he has full confidence in his son’s ability to use online tools and technology to continue a long cattle tradition. Ray’s great-grandfather, grandfather and a great-uncle all homesteaded in the area in 1902, and those original three quarters remain in the family.

Ray and his father, Ken, established Kenray in 1971 as a partnership.

Originally a Simmental operation, the ranch switched to Red Angus in the 1980s. They now run about 200 cows.

Sheldon returned to the family business several years ago after attending university and living and working in Australia and Alberta.

He still works part-time for the Lower Souris Watershed Committee, and his brother, Lyndon, and sister-in-law, Karman, are also

involved in the ranch.

Ray said the ranch has moved into bale grazing and will do it on a larger scale this year.

The Kyles sell bulls and females off the ranch year-round and also attend sales.

Agribition has been an important venue for them over the years. They had the reserve grand champion Red Angus bull in 2001 and took the grand championship with Red Lakeford Kapton 7M in 2004.

However, manpower is an issue, and Sheldon said the purebred ring doesn’t fit their operation anymore.

“It’s important, but it’s not marketing what we’re interested in,” he said.

“I need this avenue at Agribition.

I’m marketing my genetics in those Yards.”

The Twitter sale earlier this year was an experiment that worked. The heifers were sold to a new buyer within a week of posting the offering.

The buyer and seller both followed some of the same people on Twitter, leading to the connection.

Sheldon believes a lot of ranchers are using a combination of triedand-true show and sales venues and new techniques.

He and his parents agree he can be, well, persuasive.

“It’s not hard to change,” added Donelda Kyle, Sheldon’s mother. “He has contacts all over the world.”

Added Sheldon: “I’m persistent and stubborn.… There’s a fine line between them.”

SPECIAL REPORT | CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE

Glyphosate criticisms heat up as overuse called a growing problem Francois Tardif, a University of Guelph weed scientist, is slightly less zealous in his glyphosate ardour. Farmers would find ways to kill weeds and food production would carry on if the herbicide were not around, he argued, but replacing such a simple and highly effective technology would be expensive.

“I’m sure if I pulled all the chemists and all the herbicide companies (together) and said, ‘come up with something better than Roundup and price wasn’t an issue,’ they’d probably come up with something eventually…. The thing is, it would cost farmers $120 an acre.”

Chuck Benbrook, program leader of a sustainable agriculture program at Washington State University and an

organic advocate, said glyphosate is a remarkable chemical, even though he has grave concerns about its overuse.

“In terms of effectiveness, environmental properties and toxicity, it’s the best herbicide ever discovered, hands down.”

However, a small but increasingly vocal band of scientists and activists would like to see glyphosate banned, despite testimonials from hundreds of prominent scientists and mountains of evidence demonstrating its safety. They are convinced it jeopardizes human, plant and soil health.

A website called Common Dreams: Building Progressive Communities, illustrates the antipathy toward what some call “the world’s greatest herbicide.” Common Dreams recently

published an article with this introductory paragraph: “The active ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup herbicide may be the ‘most biologically disruptive chemical in our environment,’ being responsible for a litany of health disorders and diseases including Parkinson’s, cancer and autism.”

Trish Jordan, a Monsanto Canada spokesperson, said there’s no doubt that environmental and agricultural activists are ratcheting up the rhetoric around glyphosate.

“With the proliferation in internet and social media sites … it’s definitely easier for people to make allegations about glyphosate … and biotech in general,” she said from her Winnipeg office. “(So) is there more noise? Defi-

nitely there is more noise (around glyphosate). That’s because there is a concerted, well orchestrated and very well-funded program against agricultural biotechnology.”

More than 300 groups actively campaign against biotech around the world, Jordan said. Roundup spins around in that public relations vortex because it’s a key component of genetically modified, herbicide tolerant crop technology.

“They (the groups) are spending about $2.4 billion a year on the antiGMO advocacy campaigns,” she said. “Glyphosate gets thrown into that pot.”

B e n b ro o k ra re l y a g re e s w i t h Monsanto, but he said it’s difficult to separate the raucous debate over GM technology from the mer its of

Roundup. The two technologies are “inextricably linked,” he said.

“In the absence of GE crops, there wouldn’t be any issues with Roundup…. I am not aware of any new science that raises substantial new concerns about the safety or impact of glyphosate that isn’t fundamentally brought about by the explosion in use.”

Tardif said the hostility towards glyphosate is an example of the tallest poppy syndrome, Australian lingo for someone or something that stands out.

“When glyphosate was one percent of the market, one percent of herbicide use, no one really cared about it.

Now it’s dominant, and everybody goes after it,” he said.

“When Apple was eight percent of the computer market, there weren’t many Apple haters.”

Wheat project gets $25M funding Research money | Federal cash infusion designed to boost wheat breeding, attract expertise and improve communication

BY BRENDA KOSSOWAN FREELANCE WRITER

RED DEER, Alta. — New funding for wheat breeders will help attract expertise and open communication between research centres, says a producer from Alberta’s Lacombe County.

Terry Young, research and development chair for the Alberta Wheat Commission, joined federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz Nov. 7 to announce creation of a new wheat breeding cluster, funded by governm e n t , i n d u s t r y a n d p ro d u c e r groups.

The National Wheat Improvement Project will provide $25.2 million over five years to boost wheat breeding projects at universities and research stations across the country.

“The wheat cluster aims to produce varieties that are high quality, high yielding and have a proven disease resistance,” said Young.

After his presentation, he addressed the need to prepare for climate change.

“It may get to the point where we need varieties that are a little more drought tolerant, that withstand high temperatures better (and are) able to have water use efficiencies under those conditions and produce us some dividends under that scenario.”

Young also addressed the need to attract expertise to replace retiring breeders. He pointed to a program at the University of Alberta that has taken extra measures to attract and re t a i n g ra d u a t e s t u d e n t s a n d researchers.

“I think that program alone will help us fill some of the breeders that are aging and are about to retire or have retired,” he said.

“This is a way of approaching it in a long-term, sustainable approach to breeders.”

The new funding will also help improve collaboration between

Ritz said the program will be administered by the Western Grains

Research Foundation, which has contributed a share of the funding.

WGRF vice-chair Keith Degenhardt, who farms near Hughendon, Alta., said there are specific needs for

developing winter wheat varieties, with research currently underway at the universities of Lethbridge and Alberta.

Total funding includes $12.5 million

from Agriculture Canada, $9.6 million from WGRF, $1.7 million from the Canadian Field Crop Research Alliance and $1.3 million from the Alberta Wheat Commission.

Ag show manager bids farewell Agri-Trade | Patrick Kennedy moves on

BY BRENDA KOSSOWAN FREELANCE WRITER

RED DEER — The agricultural trade show that has continually pushed expansion at Westerner Park in Red Deer bade farewell this year to its founding manager.

Patrick Kennedy had been a sales representative with Morris Industries and had worked with Canada’s Farm Progress Show in Regina when he pitched the idea for a farm equipment trade show to the Red Deer Chamber of Commerce.

The chamber liked what it heard and set up its first Agri-Trade in 1984 at pavilions built two years earlier on newly opened fairgrounds. Westerner Park had been moved to its current location because it had run out of room downtown.

Kennedy and others who were there for the first show recall that it nearly flopped, largely because of a storm that roared in on its first day.

However, the organizers shouldered on, moving the show from mid-October to mid-November to capture farmers at a time of year when most crops are in the bin and manufacturers are ready to introduce their new models.

Earlier this month, with nearly 400 exhibitors and another 125 on a waiting list, Kennedy took his last turn at the helm before handing the reins to a new manager, Dianne Smirl.

She faces the same task that dogged Kennedy and his crew: finding space

PATRICK KENNEDY AGRI-TRADE

for an exhibition that, in its 30th year, continues to push the limits of space available.

Agri-Trade now occupies 350,000 sq. feet indoors and uses an additional 75,000 sq. feet of outdoor space for displays.

Equipment manufacturers, including Honey Bee from Frontier, Sask., have no problem filling their allotted spaces.

Central Alberta farmer Harold Solick was among the grain producers interested in Honey Bee’s 40-foot combine header, a yellow beast that arrived on two semi-trailers and dwarfed the combine to which it was attached.

Fresh from bringing in recordbreaking wheat crops, Solick said he wasn’t certain that the big header, which can be adjusted for all varieties of grains, pulses and oilseeds, would fit his budget. However, he was sure it would work well on his fields.

“I can dream,” said Solick.

Kennedy said attendance seemed strong midway through the show, which ran from Nov. 6-9 this year.

Smirl said earlier that she is looking at rebranding the show to help it attract a broader range of producers.

LAND MANAGEMENT | POLICY

B.C. gov’t says leaked land reserve proposals outdated Oil and gas development hindered | Reforms included reducing powers of the group that manages protected ag land

BY NIKO BELL FREELANCE WRITER

British Columbia agriculture minister Pat Pimm drafted a proposal to reform the province’s Agricultural Land Commission, reducing its power and ending its independence from government, according to documents obtained by the Globe and Mail.

The newspaper reported Nov. 7 that a confidential government document written by Pimm argued “the Agricultural Land Commission legislative mandate is too narrow to allow decisions that align with the priority for economic development.”

A cabinet spokesperson told The Western Producer Nov. 7 that while the document was genuine, it was “old” and no longer reflects the government’s plans.

The ALC oversees the Agricultural Land Reserve, 12 million acres of land set aside for exclusively agricultural use. The ALR has been targeted by developers and the oil and gas industry, which see it as an obstruction to growth.

In the document, Pimm asked cabinet to allow him to reform the ALR by dividing it into two sections.

One section would cover the Fraser Valley, the Okanagan Valley and Vancouver Island, while the other would cover the Interior, the Kootenays and the North. In addition, the ALC would move into the agriculture ministry, losing its arm’s length independence.

Pimm drafted the document, but energy and mines minister Bill Bennett’s office answered questions about the news Nov. 7. Bennett is also responsible for the core review, a policy review process that will evaluate the ALC this year.

Bennett spokesperson Matt Gordon said the government no longer plans to fold the ALC into the agriculture ministry and that the core review will continue to consider the ALR. However, he did not say why Bennett is fielding questions instead of Pimm or if there will be an opportunity for public input into the review.

In an interview with the CBC, Bennett argued that some of the land in the Interior and the North is better off

out of the ALR. “When the boundaries of the ALR were drawn, they were drawn very roughly,” he said.

“There’s a lot of land that should never have been there in the first place.… Fort Nelson is a long way north, and there’s very little farming and ranching that goes on there. Do we say to Fort Nelson, ‘nope, sorry, you can’t grow?’ ” Bennett said the government would not remove protection from farmland in B.C., but did not say what exactly will happen to the ALC. B.C. New Democrats responded by saying that any weakening of the ALC would hurt the agricultural industry and that the Liberal government should have told voters about reforming the ALC before this year’s election.

In recent months, Bennett has dropped hints that the ALR might come up in the core review.

“We’re going to look at some sacrosanct things,” he told the Vancouver Sun in July. “We’re going to look at the Agricultural Land Reserve and the Agricultural Land Commission.

There is certainly some potential here for some controversy. Nothing is off the table.”

Those statements led to a panicked presentation in late September by representatives of the B.C. Food Systems Network in front of the legislature’s finance and government services committee. The network complained about the lack of opportunity for public input and debate.

The network said in a statement Nov. 7 that it was “stunned that changes of this magnitude would be proposed behind closed doors in government.”

The Agricultural Land Commission has also butted heads recently with local governments over agricultural land. In an ALC tribunal case in March, Fort St. John landowner Terry McLeod asked the ALC to remove his land from the ALR to build a rodeo. When the ALC refused, Fort St. John mayor Lori Ackerman sent a letter to the ALC asking for reconsideration.

In a sternly worded decision in August, ALC executive director Brian Underhill not only reiterated

the ALC’s refusal, but wrote: “In our respectful view, those representations were not appropriate. They could create the impression for both the commission and the public that these officials were trying to politically influence the commission.”

Under the plan outlined in the Globe and Mail’s leaked documents, local governments such as Fort St. John would be given more power over the ALR. The documents call for “community growth applications (to be) decided by local governments.”

Agricultural Land Commission chair Richard Bullock said he found out about the document at the same time as anyone else —in the media.

He said his position as the chair of the tribunal keeps him from commenting on politics, but unless the law changes, he has no intention of giving up the ALR’s mandate. “(A change in the law) hasn’t happened, and until it does, we’re going to continue to do what I think is a pretty darn good job protecting agricultural land across the province,” he said.

FARMFAIR | LOWLINES

American newbies win big with Lowline breed

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

EDMONTON — Americans Katherine Wise and Diana Lillefloren jokingly say they’re not sure they will be invited back to Canada after winning grand champion Lowline bull and female at Farmfair International.

The Americans left their husbands at home and drove to Canada for their first Canadian Lowline show and won the top prize.

“We kept hearing it was an awesome show from our Lowline friends.

They kept saying we should come up,” said Wise, of Omak, Washington.

“It’s quite an adventure for us,” said Lillefloren, of Hayden, Idaho.

Wise won grand champion bull and Lillefloren won grand champion heifer. Their animals represented the Lowline breed at the Supreme Show of Champions Nov. 9.

The two women wondered about their decision to come north when they were stuck at the U.S. border for two hours while the inspector looked at their cattle and paperwork.

“It was the first time for us coming across the border. It was very daunting and intimidating,” said Wise, who spent weeks getting the proper paperwork, vaccinations and vet inspections required to bring their cattle to Farmfair held Nov. 3 – 10 in Edmonton and Canada Western Agribition in Regina Nov. 11 - 16.

The win for both women has erased their previous doubts about the expense and time required to show their cattle in Canada.

“It’s been fun. I would come back in a heartbeat,” she said.

Wise discovered Lowlines when her family moved from Seattle to a 120 acre farm three years ago.

“We really wanted to get into something. We really enjoy them and they’re so docile,” said Wise who grew up on a ranch, but never had cattle. They now have 17 head and hope to keep a selection of show cattle and begin selling the others to neighbours and at their local farmers’ markets.

Lillefloren added Lowline cattle to their Idaho farm menagerie in 2008 as a way to diversify and promote the industry. With 50 head of Lowlines, Lillifloren spends a lot of time promoting the breed to small acreage owners looking for a manageable animal for small farms.

CEREALS NORTH AMERICA | GRAIN OUTLOOK

Prepare for leaner times ahead: analysts Bull market ending | Experts predict a plateau in demand and drop in prices

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Farmers need to be nimble marketers now that the multi-year bull market in grain is probably over.

That was a common theme underlying the Cereals North America conference held in Winnipeg Nov. 6-7.

The 2006-13 market and its bullish dynamics are probably done.

“If I use my forecast (of future grain prices), farm income is going to collapse to levels we haven’t seen … going back to 2005,” Dan Basse, president of the Chicago analytical firm AgResource, said in the conference’s opening address.

A host of analysts predicted a world in which the 2013-14 year sees crop importing countries rebuild depleted stockpiles and a 2014-15 in which stocks build to much greater levels if the world produces average crops.

That could lead to corn prices falling to just slightly above $3 per bushel, which would make it hard for many farmers to make money on any of the big crops, considering that they all track corn to a great degree.

AgResource analyst Bill Tierney said farmers probably won’t see $3.25 corn in 2013-14 but probably will in 2014-15.

“It just doesn’t seem to me that the market is willing to see those kinds of lows this year,” said Tierney, noting that a pre-ethanol era supply and demand model would justify $3.25 per bu. corn now.

“I do think they will see those kinds of lows next year.”

Since the mid-2000s, crop prices

GLOBAL GRAIN CONSUMPTION Global grain consumption, which started at less than two billion tonnes in 2000, had soared by about 400 million tonnes by 2012 thanks to rising demand for biofuel and improving food demand in developing countries.

However, diets in places such as China and Brazil are now better and not expected to improve much while government mandates for biofuel have been met.

have joined the overall commodities bull market rally.

Crops broke from long-time low and relatively flat prices to burst upward in repeated spikes, offering farmers much better prices than in the 1982-2006 period.

Many analysts have said the bull market was dr iven by grow ing demand from biofuel production, steadily increasing consumption in Brazil, Russia, India and China and speculative money flooding into all commodities to avoid lackluster stock markets. It was an era in which crop and meat production had trouble keeping up with demand.

Prices exploded when major crop production problems occurred, as in 2007 and 2012. It was a period in which crop farmers who produced good crops could easily make fat profits.

However, analysts at Cereals North America said those underlying factors are fading and the era of high

demand chasing low supply will end if adequate crops are grown.

Ethanol demand in the United States and biodiesel demand in the European Union are not increasing.

The steady growth of demand for more corn to produce ethanol and more vegetable oil crops to produce biodiesel has disappeared and isn’t likely to return.

Per capita calorie consumption increases have greatly slowed in Brazil, Russia, India and China, suggesting there will not be the same everincreasing demand for crop and meat imports in coming years.

Speculative investors have been abandoning commodities, especially agriculture, for months and returning to the stock markets.

“The money has been leaving agriculture,” said Basse.

“There’s no investible story.”

Farmers will need to be agile and attentive marketers if prices turn lower for a number of years, said

Reuters agricultural markets columnist Gavin Maguire.

“If you are a grower with a lot of supplies on hand, you have to be a bit more disciplined than you have been over the past few years as far as taking selling opportunities,” he said in an interview.

The fundamental situation has changed radically for supply and demand, reversing the market psychology of buyers being worried about running out of supplies.

“We’ve never actually undergone such an aggressive change in supplies one year to the next, from so low to so high, right at this time when we seem to be seeing a plateauing of demand,” said Maguire.

Farmers will need to sell into rallies and pull the trigger after just a day or two of rally.

“The rallies we see won’t last as long as before, with weeks-long accelerations of prices,” he said.

Karl Skold of Bunge North America said high prices have brought in acreage, investment and a desire to produce crops.

“We have taught the world how to grow corn,” said Skold.

Demand still exists for cereal and oilseed crops, but farmers’ ability to increase supplies faster than demand growth is beginning to be felt in the market.

“Farmers have money, and I think they’re going to plant everything,” said Skold.

“They’re not going to not plant.”

All the analysts agreed that a major crop disaster would reverse their opinion about the likelihood of a lasting bear market in crop prices.

However, just average crops in most of the world’s regions in the next year will allow stockpiles to grow to levels that will damage farmer profitability and reduce their desire to seed every acre.

Record corn crop burdens market Bigger crops still expected | Latin American weather expected to soon drive grain prices

BY SEAN PRATT

U.S. PRODUCTION FORECAST

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The long-awaited November World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report wasn’t as grim as many were expecting, but the bottom line is that there is still a burdensome supply of grains and oilseeds.

“What today’s report maybe showed us is that it’s not going to be as bad as we first thought. I think that’s the key thing,” said Errol Anderson, an analyst with ProMarket Wire.

“There was some talk that the corn was going to head down to $3.70 a bushel. Well, I don’t think so. Not with these numbers.”

The U.S. Department of Agriculture pegged the U.S. corn crop at 13.99 billion bu., a record but 33 million bu. below trade expectations.

The number that most analysts focused on was ending stocks of 1.89 billion bu., which was well below trade expectations of 2.06 billion bu.

Markets viewed the smaller stocks number as supportive. Nearby corn futures were up 6.25 cents a bu. at the close of markets Nov. 8.

Dan Basse, president of the AgResource Company, called it a “relief rally” because markets were relieved the news wasn’t worse.

He believes corn prices could reach as high as $4.40 per bu. before

U.S. corn production and ending stocks are bigger than forecast in September but smaller than traders’ expectations. Soybean production and ending stocks were larger than traders’ expectations and wheat ending stocks were larger than expected. The report gave a little boost to corn prices but the record size of the the corn crop limits rally opportunities. (all in billion bu.)

year-end, but eventually there is going to be another dramatic downward spiral.

Basse believes the big U.S. crop is only going to get bigger. He is forecasting an average yield of 163 bu. per acre, up from the USDA’s November estimate of 160 bu. per acre.

“We’ll have what we call a postharvest rally as the market tries to get the farmer to sell, but thereafter it’s going to be Latin American weather that will drive price direction,” he said.

“We’ll see corn pr ices drop towards $3, soybean prices drop under $9 and wheat prices probably closer to $5.50,” said Basse.

Rich Nelson, chief strategist with Allendale Inc., said the U.S. corn ending stocks estimate was lower than anticipated, but 1.9 billion bu.

is still “very burdensome.” He believes it equates to a corn futures price of around $3.90 per bu.

“I don’t in any way call (today’s price) a harvest low,” he said.

Nelson believes corn prices will bounce around a bit through December and then head down again next year.

The USDA’s soybean estimate of 3.26 billion bu. was 33 million bu. above trade expectations.

However, the USDA increased its export estimate by 80 million bu. and the U.S. crush by 30 million bu.

“I wouldn’t call it bullish in any way,” said Nelson.

“I would call it neutral, which is a shift in mindset from straight bearish.”

He expects nearby soybean futures to be in the $12.50 to $13 range.

Anderson said the pace of soybean exports was bullish news, and a price hike may be needed to ration demand. Nearby soybean futures were up 27.25 cents at the close of markets Nov. 8.

He said the newfound strength in soybeans also supported canola, but growers should still focus on moving their crop as soon as they have a delivery opportunity.

“The bottom line is by crop year end there’s going to be a lot of canola left over. There really is,” said Anderson.

“Sell the rebounds and don’t get stubborn about it because the market will kick us in the pants and it will come back down.”

If there was any surprise in the USDA report, it was with the wheat number. The moderate 16 million bu. increase in U.S. production was anticipated, but “the surprise here was they didn’t touch exports,” Nelson said.

“The trade was looking for a good 50 million bu. increase in exports.”

It’s because the U.S. is already 70 percent sold on its USDA export target compared to the five-year average of 63 percent sold.

Anderson believes the wheat market is bottoming out with maybe 10 percent of the selloff remaining.

He expects huge South American crops.

Brazil is contemplating a policy move that could mop up some of the country’s massive soybean harvest, but analysts differ on how helpful it could be.

Soy crushers and biodiesel manufacturers are asking the government to increase the country’s biodiesel mandate to seven percent from five percent by Jan. 1.

The government’s energy minister said he is contemplating the request.

A Reuters story said a two percentage point increase in the mandate would create an additional eight to nine million tonnes of soybean demand in Brazil next year.

It would be a significant relief valve for overstuffed oilseed markets. Oil World estimates world oilseed production in 2013-14 at 488 million tonnes, a 22 million tonne increase over last year.

Brazil’s government estimates the soy crop at 88 to 90 million tonnes, shattering last year’s record of 81.5 million tonnes.

Oil World analyst Thomas Mielke said the proposed policy change would lead to “sharply higher” biodiesel use and soybean demand in Brazil but not as big as the Reuters story suggests, according to a copy of an Oct. 22 presentation he delivered at the Oilseed and Grain Trade Summit 2013 in Minneapolis.

Mielke said a shift to a seven percent mandate would increase soy biodiesel demand by 0.8 million tonnes in 2014, requiring 4.2 million tonnes of additional soybean crush.

Dan Basse, president of AgResource Company, was far more bearish about the impact of the proposal.

“The industry is asking for a seven percent mandate, but most in Brazil are thinking it will end up at six (percent),” he said.

Basse said he can’t understand how people are coming up with eight to nine million tonnes of newly created soybean demand.

“I don’t agree with that data at all. I mean, it’s not even going to come close to relieving anything,” he said.

“It’s not going to be a significant increase down there, maybe the equivalent of something like 700,000 or 800,000 tonnes of beans.”

And that is if the government agrees to the request, which is far from certain.

“This is the second or third year in a row that they’ve tried to increase it, and the last couple of times it hasn’t happened,” said Basse.

A tremendous amount of oilseeds will be in the system by the end of next year, he added.

Chinese demand in the near term could create a market window but it will close as Brazil harvests its crop.

South American harvest could bury grain prices Huge crops in the forecast | Farmers urged to look at options contracts as prices poised to fall

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

“Until we get to a South American crop.”

That line, which an analyst used to describe a fairly bullish outlook for soybean meal, was heard in various forms during the recent Cereals No r t h A m e r i c a c o n f e re n c e t o describe the market danger that threatens to snuff out an OK winter for Canadian farmers.

Analysts painted a picture of a fall and early winter with good demand for vegetable oil crops and a possible market rally for wheat.

However, all bets are off once the South American harvests begin.

“It’s really a constructive situation, at least not a bearish situation now, but when we get out forward, we’re going to have record (world soybean production),” said Karl Skold of Bunge North America.

“You have a very good crop (supply) situation.”

Skold said demand for U.S. soybeans and its components is strong, and exports are surging.

“It’s not just China, it’s everywhere,” said Skold.

Biodiesel margins are good, so processors will keep making it. Livestock feeders are earning great margins, so they’ll keep feeding protein meals. In every area, soybean products are rewarding to make, so demand is steady.

Alex Bos of Louis Dreyfus Commodities said he was bullish about wheat this fall and winter and expecting a rally because of strong sales and shrinking U.S. stocks.

Many think wheat can’t hold a $4 per bushel premium to corn, but in a year

with bullish fundamentals for wheat but not corn, then it’s possible, he said.

Bos said the U.S. situation is important for wheat because the world tends to turn to the United States when it runs short. With much of its excess supplies gone, the world can’t do that for much longer this year.

“We’ve lost the U.S. as the world’s residual wheat supplier,” said Bos. Analyst Greg Kostal said canola also has strong demand for seed, oil and meal in Canada, the U.S. and overseas markets, so things are OK right now.

However, the South American soybean factor looms over everything.

“When you get into February, what happens with the whole oilseed chain is you can instantly access about 10 million tonnes of cheaper origin Brazilian soybeans,” Kostal said.

“Therefore, the opportunity for North American front-loaded demand instantly falls off the face of the Earth.”

AgResource analyst Bill Tierney agreed.

“Once that South American crop comes in, we’re going to have ending stocks globally much larger than they were last year,” he said.

“It’s that expectation of a very large supply that’s going to keep a cap on how prices are going to get (during the winter).”

Some analysts encouraged farmers to act to protect forward prices because the huge South Americam crops could ravage prices for the rest of 2013-14 and demolish prices in 2014-15.

Daniel Basse, president of AgResource, said farmers were shy about pricing grain during the growing season because of production worries. Even now they aren’t rushing to price because they dangerously assume prices will improve

Analysts recommend pricing crops before a huge South American harvest drives markets lower. | and they can afford to wait.

“Farmers have really missed the market this year,” said Basse.

“The farmers, trained by years of high prices, did nothing.”

Tierney said farmers must realize prices can go much lower. He recom-

mended looking at options contracts to protect pr ices into 2014-15 because they are much more affordable than usual.

“Options have never been this cheap in something like 15 years,” said Tierney.

Asked to guess at 2014-15 prices, Kostal said canola could be $10 per bushel at harvest and hit a low of $9 per bu. during the 2014-15 winter.

For No. 1, 13.5 percent protein wheat, “six bucks is going to be a reasonable average next year.”

WHEAT | QUALITY

Global wheat quality problems lift protein premiums Weather hurts harvests | Rain on South American wheat harvest contributes to global protein shortage

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Wheat markets were focused on production numbers last week, but quantity isn’t the only story this year.

On Nov. 8, analysts were eager to receive the first U.S. Department of Agriculture’s World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report in two months.

The report was slightly bearish for grain with a modest increase forecast in the U.S. wheat crop and in world ending stocks.

Meanwhile, there is a quality story unfolding in wheat markets because of heavy harvest rain in South America, said CWB weather and crop specialist Bruce Burnett.

“(The country) to watch very, very closely is Brazil,” he said.

There are reports of quality problems in the state of Parana, while rain has disrupted Rio Grande do Sul’s harvest.

“Certainly it’s an area to keep an eye on because of the harvest difficulties they’ve had this year,” said Burnett.

If the quality problems are serious, Brazil will need to import significant quantities of wheat with protein levels found in Canada’s spring wheat crop and the U.S. hard red winter wheat crop.

Argentina also has quality problems. Rain has alleviated the worst drought in that country in 50 years, but it is causing more problems with an already poor wheat crop.

“There is a winter wheat quality issue that’s building,” said Drew Lerner, president of World Weather Inc. Most of central Argentina received 76 to 177 millimetres of rain around the beginning of November, including a big portion of the drought region.

There were follow-up showers, and Lerner was forecasting heavy rain for the weekend as of Nov. 9.

“If there is any more rain, I think that the quality will be a real issue,” he said.

Canadian farmers harvested a wheat crop that was low in protein but of good overall quality.

“We don’t have any obvious defects that are of large concern to millers

like low falling numbers or things like that,” said Burnett.

“It’s not a hard sell.”

The mean protein level of the 1,822 No. 1 Canada Western Red Spring wheat samples analyzed by the Canadian Grain Commission as of Nov. 5 was 12.8 percent, which is 0.8 percentage points below the longterm average. The U.S. crop was also low in protein.

“In a nutshell, that’s why the protein premiums on the North American side have widened out significantly,” said Burnett.

There is a 40 to 50 cents per bushel premium for hard-to-find 13.5 percent wheat over 12.5 percent wheat.

He expects the premium to remain until the next spring wheat harvest in

North America, unless there are unusual protein levels in the U.S. hard red winter wheat crop, which comes off earlier.

Burnett said there are quality problems in the Black Sea region because of harvest rain in Kazakhstan, the Urals and Siberia. However, it was a decent quality crop in the region’s exporting area.

Winter wheat seeding got off to a terrible start in Russia and Ukraine with major delays caused by wet, cold fall weather.

L e r n e r s a i d c o n d i t i o n s hav e improved greatly with warm weather in late October that helped seeding catch up.

“It’s much less of an issue over there for right now,” he said.

China expects corn self-sufficiency

Rise of Russian family farms raises grain and meat production

Reducing exports | Opinions mixed on whether country can meet goal CHINA SOYBEAN IMPORTS SOAR

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

China might have imported tens of millions of tonnes of soybeans in recent years, but no one should expect a repeat in corn, says a senior Chinese grain industry analyst.

The country is not committed to vegetable oil crop self-sufficiency but it is dedicated to producing enough staple food and feed grains to feed its 1.3 billion population.

“The increasing trend of grain output will not change,” Yang Weilu of the China National Grain and Oils Information Centre told the Cereals North America conference in Winnipeg Nov. 6. “There is great opportunity to increase production.”

Weilu said corn imports of five million tonnes this year come on top of domestic production of 215 million tonnes. It’s double the imports of 2012-13 but about the same as 201112 and 1995.

Many analysts outside of China and even some within the country think it will be unable to keep up with soaring feed grain demand and will be forced to become a major corn and sorghum importer.

In September, Fan Zhenyu, deputy general manager of corn division at the state-owned COFCO Co. Ltd. told a corn conference that China’s selfsufficiency ratio for corn could hit 93 percent by 2018 and 90 percent by 2020, implying corn imports of 20 million tonnes in seven years.

Recent corn imports have come from the United States but in the last year China has been putting in place agreements to import corn from other major producers such as

China is proud that it can meet most of its growing food needs with domestic production. But it decided more than a decade ago to focus its self-sufficiency drive on grain and leave its oilseed needs to other countries, leading to a boom in soybean trade.

But Weilu said Chinese corn production is surging. The country produced 193 million tonnes in 2011-12, 206 million in 2012-13 and an estimated 215 million in 2013-14.

Weilu said those production gains

should continue.

Chinese wheat impor ts have increased sharply since 2008, climbing to five million tonnes in 2013.

However, there were bigger imports in the past, like seven million tonnes in 2004. And in 2007, China exported

three million tonnes of wheat.

Weilu said Chinese corn production is steadily rising, but soybean production is gradually falling. The country produced more than 17 million tonnes of soybeans in 2004, but that had fallen to less than 13 million by this year.

China imported only 13.2 million tonnes of soybeans in 2000, but by 2013 that had grown to 60 million tonnes.

Weilu said the government wants the country to be food grain self-sufficient in 10 years. Recent speculation is wrong that corn imports are part of the same trend seen first in soybeans, Weilu added.

“China’s market demand does not support large imports.”

China’s corn acreage equals U.S. corn acreage, with annual incremental gains. However, per acre production is only half the U.S. rate, so there is much room for improvement and increased production.

“China will ensure long-term grain security,” Weilu said.

Weilu spent much time explaining his view that China would not become an annual major corn importer, but cynics in the audience privately wondered during the coffee break if his insistence suggested that China is anxious about its increasing reliance on imports to meet its demand.

Improved efficiency is boosting country’s exports

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Russian meat production has been leaping ahead by double-digit annual increases since 2005, but that won’t crimp the country’s ability to export more grain, says a Russian grain expert.

Feed conversion rate improvements and per acre crop production gains will allow meat and export grain production to increase at the same time.

“We fed a lot of grains and oilseeds to our animals (during the communist period),” said Dmitri Rylko of IKAR, the leading Russian grain analysis agency, who spoke at Cereals North America in Winnipeg Nov. 6.

“In the Soviet Union it was huge because it was a very inefficient industry.”

Russia has lost millions of acres of farmland and tens of millions of head of annual livestock production since the fall of the communist political system and the ensuing economic crisis.

However, per acre yields and feed conversion rates are soaring as the Russian farm economy restructures from the inefficient collective farm system. Individual family farms, like those that dominate North America, are taking over land from former collective farms, as are large corporate farms.

“These new guys come with very efficient operations and have the same conversion rates as western colleagues,” said Rylko. “It economizes a lot on consumption.”

Russian, Ukrainian and Kazakh farmers have become major players in world export grain trade in recent years as more sensible industrial and business development replaces communist waste and post-Soviet chaos.

Rylko said on-farm production gains, world-class port facilities and general export system improvements are changing the system.

A weak point is the monopolies operated by former state-owned railways, which Rylko said the government should not have allowed.

However, grain production in the former Soviet Union is likely to increase as farming continues to move from a communist to a free market system.

Rylko said genetically modified crops are already grown in Russia and Ukraine, without official approval, and this will increase if GM crops are approved.

He said the Russian government quietly agreed recently to allow companies to test and receive approval for GM corn varieties. The Ukraine government immediately mimicked the Russian position.

Countries that were once part of the Soviet Union are export competitors to Canada in Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. These crops are usually lower quality than Canadian and American exports, displacing sales to poor but large customers such as Egypt.

Grain rail shipments shouldn’t be too squeezed by oil

NEW RECORDS REACHED

Expert says railway capacity has been underused

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Soaring oil production is filling trains and keeping railways busy, right in the middle of grain country.

However, Tom Williamson, a railway expert and oil man, says it’s not necessarily going to offer a lot of competition for farmers hoping to see good rail movement of crops.

“I would be concerned, but I would not be overly concerned,” he said in an interview during the Cereals North America conference in Winnipeg Nov. 7. “I absolutely think that it can be handled by the system.”

Many farmers and grain shippers have worried that stymied pipeline expansion will keep increasing the flow of oil by rail on tracks needed by the agriculture industry.

Oil rail car shipments have increased from 6,000 in 2009 to more than 300,000 this year as the shale oil industry expanded.

However, Williamson said railways have enough capacity to haul oil from the Bakken formation in North Dakota, Montana, Saskatchewan and Manitoba and still be able to pull grain from those regions to port.

He said railway capacity has been underused since the recession slashed railway traffic and railroad companies have learned how to efficiently get oil to its destination.

For instance, Burlington Northern is running 90 shuttle trains of oil cars at the moment.

Williamson said the biggest prob-

lem for farmers is that agriculture is cyclical, with a mass of supply needing rail movement in the fall, while oil production is steady.

“There will be blips,” he said.

However, some shipping system relief will come when the Panama Canal’s expansion opens and allows cheaper shipping from the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic coast ports to Asia.

Williamson said oil shipments by rail have shot up in recent years, but that growth is ending.

“I think that the crude oil movement by rail is probably pretty close to where it’s going to be long term,” said Williamson.

However, he doesn’t expect a big decline of rail oil shipments, even if pipelines such as Keystone XL are approved.

Keystone will allow oil from the Bakken formation and the Alberta oilsands to get to the pipeline hub at Cushing, Oklahoma, but that’s not where most demand is located.

He thinks about half of the Bakken oil will continue to move by rail car to other markets in the eastern and northwestern United States.

The present congested state of grain shipping in the U.S. is mostly due to crops from Texas to the northern Midwest all coming off at once.

Railways and other parts of the transportation system can usually circulate equipment, crews and capacity from south to north as harvest progresses, but this year it is happening everywhere at once.

WP LIVESTOCK REPORT CASH HOGS FALL Cooler fall weather is causing hogs to gain weight quickly.

More hogs are reaching slaughter weight and carcasses are heavier, which is pressuring cash prices lower.

U.S. s l aught er in c re ase d b u t demand for pork was good, leading to stronger cut-out values.

Iowa-southern Minnesota hogs delivered to packing plants fell to $61.50 US per hundredweight Nov. 8, down from $63.50 Nov. 1.

The estimated pork cut-out value was $94.85 Nov. 8, up from $94.05 Nov. 1.

The estimated weekly U.S. slaughter to Nov. 8 was 2.29 million, up from 2.272 million Nov. 2.

Slaughter was 2.356 million last year in the same week.

BISON STEADY The Canadian Bison Association said Grade A bulls in the desirable weight range averaged $3.50 Cdn per pound hot hanging weight with sales to $3.70. Grade A heifers sold at $3.45 with sales to $3.55.

Animals older than 30 months and those outside the desirable buyer

specifications may be discounted.

In live markets, yearling bulls sold for $2 per lb. live weight and heifers sold at $2.

In light cash trade, the steer price average reached new record highs at $124.63 per hundredweight, up about $1 and heifers were $123.71, up 25 cents.

Most of the trade was dressed, with rail asking prices at about $212 per cwt. delivered.

Weekly sales volume rose four percent to 8,403 head, but the total was still small, down 46 percent from last year. There was light to moderate carryover.

The Alberta cash-to-futures basis narrowed $3.38 to -$13.05.

Weekly Western Canadian fed slaughter to Nov. 2 rose 22 percent to 33,983 head.

Weekly fed cattle exports to Oct. 26 fell 39 percent to 5,082 head.

In coming weeks, fed supplies should tighten and more cattle are expected to be marketed on a cash basis. Holiday demand for middle beef cuts should improve, supporting fed prices.

COWS DOWN Following seasonal trends, non-fed supplies increased, pressuring cow prices down.

D1, D2 cows ranged $68-$77 to average $72.40 per cwt. D3s ranged $60-$71 to average $65.

Railgrade prices ranged $136-$142 per cwt. Prices are likely near seasonal lows, but rallies in the next few weeks are unlikely.

Large bred cow offer ings are reported in Alberta and Saskatchewan and so far prices are not robust.

Some of these cows will likely wind up being sold for slaughter.

and Saskatchewan markets.

If selling via private treaty or electronic sales, it might be a good idea to push the delivery date two to three weeks out to get past these heavy numbers.

Premiums should develop for preconditioned calves. Ample feeder supplies have allowed buyers to be selective.

Preconditioning helps to attract interest. Also, health and feeding program information, or offering services such as the option to background or deliver might catch buyer attention.

By the end of the week, the calf market looked stronger with improved demand for 600-700 pound steers.

BEEF PRICES STRONG U.S. boxed beef prices were mixed

with Choice down $1.18 at $203.99 per cwt. and Select up nine cents at $190.17.

Beef movement has been slow.

With U.S. Thanksgiving and Christmas around the corner demand for turkey, ham and prime rib should be strong.

Weekly Canadian cutouts to Nov. 1 rose $3.40-$3.82 per cwt. with AAA at $198.73 and AA at $189.71.

The Montreal wholesale price for delivery this week was steady at $225-$226.

FEEDER VOLUMES LARGE Alberta auction volumes topped 75,000 head for the third consecutive week. Saskatchewan and Manitoba auctions saw the largest volumes of the year.

Some feedlots are at capacity and fed cattle need to be shipped before more calves can be placed.

With large volumes traded on the cash market and buyers also taking delivery of November feeder contracts, trucks are becoming an issue.

COMMODITY MOVEMENT | RAILROAD SAFETY

CRAIG’S VIEW

Is rail system still capable of handling its job safely?

P

er ton mile, rail freight transport is probably the safest mode of commodity shipment available in Canada.

This vast country has 48,000 kilometres of railway track, some of it laid through the most rugged terrain and subject to some of the most extreme weather conditions any railway, anywhere, might encounter.

Even so, there were 66 main track derailments of various sizes from January through September of this year, and another 330 non-main track derailments in the same period, according to Transportation Safety Board of Canada statistics.

In all of 2012, there were 63 derailments on main tracks and 499 on non-main tracks.

Though we cannot put these figures fully into context without knowing the number of cars moving freight and the distances they travelled without incident, the bald figures are nevertheless disturbing.

Last week, 13 cars carrying lumber and sulfur derailed near Peers, Alta., disrupting service.

A few weeks earlier, residents of Gainford, Alta., had to evacuate their town when a derailment led to explosions and fire. October also saw four cars derail near Sexsmith, Alta., with anhydrous ammonia aboard, and in late September, 17 cars left the track near Landis, Sask., carrying petroleum, ethanol and chemicals. A resulting grass fire added to worry over potential explosion or contamination.

These accidents over such a short time span would be worrisome even without the horror and tragedy of Lac-Megantic still fresh in the public consciousness.

Cumulatively, they raise legitimate questions about railway safety and how it can be improved as the giant prairie grain crop moves to port this year and increasing amounts of oil and bitumen do the same now and in years to come.

The railways respond to those questions with statistics showing an improving safety rate. The federal government, which regulates rail safety, says it has imposed tougher fines for safety violations.

Thank goodness for both those things,

but as TSB chair Wendy Tadros recently wrote, “it is no longer enough for industry and government to cite previous safety records or a gradual 20-year decline in the number of main-track derailments. There has been an erosion of public trust and Canadians require reassurance that action is being taken … and that future movements will be safe.”

Our western Canadian cities, towns and villages were built along railway tracks for obvious reasons. It was, and is, a mutually beneficial arrangement; so much so that a tribute to the railway system adorns Canada’s new $10 bill.

However, the recent spate of accidents has eroded confidence in the integrity of the rail system and its safety in terms of people and the environment. It has been amply demonstrated that accidents can jeopardize lives, contaminate landscapes and delay transport of goods upon which many sectors, particularly farmers, rely.

It’s getting a lot of attention.

Former Saskatchewan premier Grant Devine recently criticized lack of track modernization and suggested the system is overloaded. Last week, the Alberta government launched an investigation into whether railways are meeting their safety obligations.

On the TSB’s part, Tadros advocates better safety management, installation of trackside detection systems, fail-safe methods of stopping trains and shipping dangerous goods only in the toughest tank cars.

Those recommendations, and particularly the last item, should give pause: why isn’t that already being done?

The overriding questions railways need to answer are these: are all needed rail safety measures being taken and is the current system up to the task of safely carrying all its burdens?

Doubtless they realize that when the modern manifestation of the national dream creates nightmares for those affected by accidents, it’s time to take stock.

Hunger in the midst of plenty doesn’t fit government’s quality of life measure NATIONAL VIEW

BARRY WILSON

T

he release of the Food Banks Canada report every November is an annual reality jolt — hunger in a land of plenty and surplus food.

There are many reasons why more than 800,000 Canadians typically use food banks every month — poverty, illness, unemployment, addiction, some bad personal choices among them.

But at its core, allowing hunger to exist in one of the world’s most affluent countries is a political choice.

Money is invested in infrastructure, military and various other national or local projects deemed worthy.

Canada joins a war in Afghanistan and billions of dollars are found to fund the effort.

A “war on hunger,” if such a beast was ever declared, would lag in funding. It is an issue Canadians would rather slip under the rug, surely a reflection not on our generous society but on some individual circumstances or choices.

But in truth, like medical costs, housing or other necessities, providing adequate nutrition to the poor and their children should be, could be, a national priority if governments and citizens decided it was.

So far, it mainly is charities, churches and volunteers who fill the gap.

So here are the stark numbers from the latest food bank national report: • An average 833,000 Canadians use food banks at least once a month for a meal. Forty percent of those are children.

• Many who line up at food banks are seniors without enough money to pay for both accommodation and food.

• Slightly less than 20 percent of food bank patrons are employed but do not make enough money to provide all the food necessary for their family.

The slightly good news is that food bank use has dropped marginally on the Prairies during the past year but it still remains higher than it was when

the last recession began in 2008.

One of the cities highlighted in this year’s report is Brandon, a booming city with low apartment vacancy rates and unemployment below four percent.

Yet Marla Somersall, executive director of Samaritan House in the city, says it means the cost of living has escalated and many workers including immigrant labourers do not make enough at low-end jobs to pay the bills.

“Our food bank is serving almost double the number of people it was in 2008 and our employment, training and job search programs cannot respond adequately,” she says in the Food Banks Canada report.

In the House of Commons it was all political last week with New Democrats blaming the Conservatives for

increasing hunger and Conservatives touting a new international report that calls Canada one of the best countries in the world when quality of life is measured.

It is all so predictable and depressing.

Not all can be helped but the country doesn’t even recognize the crime of hunger in the midst of food surpluses and substantial waste.

Nigel Wright, the rich Bay Street money man and former chief of staff to prime minister Stephen Harper, is reportedly spending his time these days while under investigation by the RCMP, working long hours at a soup kitchen.

Good on him, but was the hunger file ever pushed within government on his watch as one of the government’s most influential players?

Man. Ag food inspection action justified

BY MARTIN SCANLON

N

ews of events at Harborside Farms has filled the pages of The Western Producer in recent weeks.

In some of the articles it has been suggested that Manitoba Agricultures is confused in the purpose of its activities. How can the awarding of first prize in the Great Manitoba Food Fight to Harborside Farms’ prosciutto ham be compatible with the seizure of hams by government inspectors three months later?

As one of the judges in the Great Manitoba Food Fight, I see no incompatibility: both events fit the available facts.

Manitoba Agriculture’s duties include helping Manitoba food businesses commercialize opportunities that agricultural entrepreneurs identify as having local or global market appeal.

However, the department also has a duty to protect all Manitobans if a food processor cannot produce records on processing and preservation steps that assure the public that the processor’s food is safe.

At the Great Manitoba Food Fight, the Cavers presented a compelling story of pasture-raised hogs and the value-added processing they were pursuing to develop a great-tasting prosciutto ham.

However, assessments of their product’s marketing and quality attributes were only part of the discussions that day. Management of the dry-curing process is not easy, and we had a lengthy conversation about pH, moisture and salinity control, and the process steps that the

Manitoba Agriculture has a responsibility to enforce food safety rules despite emotional and economic impacts on small processors. | FILE PHOTO Cavers knew they needed to pursue to ensure a safe product.

The seizure of the hams three months later cannot have been an easy decision for Manitoba Agriculture, but it has to act if it is not convinced the food is safe.

The vast majority of food safety regulations that governments implement are not corporation-driven exclusionary protocols.

Such regulations apply to all lowacid products, such as ham, because countless well-controlled scientific studies over the past 150 years have shown that these products demand greater oversight if they are not to become food hazards.

To some researchers at the University of Manitoba, ham seizure is not due diligence by Manitoba Agriculture. Rather, it is government inter-

ference with the free development of community-focused food systems.

Is a debate on the control of food systems one that should be undertaken? Yes, most definitely, because of the far-reaching implications for food security if the means of food production and preservation are concentrated in too few hands.

However, some of the language being used to frame this debate must be carefully evaluated and scientifically scrutinized. It is also important that the emotive pull of a good family farm potentially losing their livelihood be withdrawn from the debate.

The pertinent questions from this incident are not about Manitoba Agriculture’s action.

Instead, we should ask: • In the interests of diversification of the local food economy, should

taxpayers subsidize equipment purchase and training for all small processors to allow them to compete against large-scale processors?

• Are there certain regulations that are easy for large processors to implement but are especially onerous to small processors?

• Can these regulations be modified without compromising safety for certain types of food products?

Policies couched in benign terms such as “scale-appropriate regulat i o n s” a n d “ b a l a n c e d h e a l t hy (microbial) ecosystems” do not constitute a food safety solution, especially because their scientific and societal impacts are as yet far from clear.

Is it acceptable to any community that a small processor sickens one person per month because fewer people are affected than the 75 people sickened by a single outbreak from a large plant once every five years?

The context for this somewhat absurd comparison is that 23 Canadians have been sickened this year by a small cheese manufacturer, while 18 Canadians were sickened during the massive beef recall from Alberta’s XL Foods last year.

Society deserves a rational and dispassionate debate on how we want our food produced and by whom.

What individuals in society cannot afford is the imposition of regulations dictated by emotion or ideology in place of scientific facts.

FARM ORGANIZATIONS | CO-OPERATION, AMALGAMATION

Are voices heard from multitude of farm groups?

HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

H

ow many farm organizations are needed in Canada and how many can the industry reasonably support?

Long-time farm policy observer Richard Phillips is stimulating discussion by asking these questions, which many will find uncomfortable.

On the surface, it would appear that we have organizations upon organizations with duplication of efforts and an apparent fortune wasted on administrative costs. The formation of new wheat and barley commissions in each of the prairie provinces heightens the impression.

In the past, most commissions were formed by grassroots producers who had to prove to provincial govern-

ments that there was strong grower support for a commodity checkoff.

The wheat and barley commissions were fast-tracked to fill the void when the CWB monopoly was removed.

Now we’re getting more than one checkoff on wheat and barley. Money is flowing or will be flowing to the new commissions in each province, plus there’s a deduction for the Western Grains Research Foundation, the Canadian International Grains Institute and the Canadian Malting Barley Technical Centre.

The total amount being deducted isn’t unreasonable. It’s less than what producers contribute in many competing nations. However, there’s a perception problem when checkoffs start to multiply.

And why have new wheat and barley commissions in each province?

That’s actually a quirk of legislation.

It’s difficult to establish checkoffs that cross provincial boundaries, which is why pulse growers, canola growers and oat growers aren’t united by one levy organization.

Until recently, Richard Phillips worked for Grain Growers of Canada,

a policy body made up of a large number of farm organizations. Now he is president of the Canada Grains Council and will be tasked with finding a role for the council at a time when the farm organization landscape is shifting and evolving.

By all accounts, the Canola Council of Canada has been successful in bringing industry and producers together. Pulse Canada also does great work.

For cereal crops, how the big picture umbrella will function is still a work in progress.

However, groups are already working together to get things done. Federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz has announced $12.5 million over five years in research funding for a wheat cluster administered by the Western Grains Research Foundation. The new Alberta Wheat Commission is also part of the deal with farm organizations matching the government funding.

Smaller acreage crops have their own checkoffs.

Some organizations are membership based, including the Western

Canadian Wheat Growers and the National Farmers Union. Others, such as Keystone Agricultural Producers and the Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan, have different funding models. If like-minded farmers want to fund lobby groups on farm policy, that should be their right.

In Ontario, wheat, corn and soybean groups joined forces to form Grain Farmers of Ontario. It wasn’t easy to accomplish, but it made sense because most grain producers in Ontario grow all three crops. Here on the Prairies, needs are arguably more diverse.

Hopefully, farm organizations across the country will continue to look at ways to co-operate, reduce administration costs and merge activities when possible. However, this needs to come from producers themselves. They (we) have to figure it out. Governments can help, but they can’t lead. The organizations belong to producers.

Tories share no vision for future ag policy EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

JOANNE PAULSON, EDITOR

I

t was likely not a surprise to most that little agricultural policy discussion occurred at the recent Conservative party convention in Calgary.

I think it’s safe to say there were other things on the prime minister’s mind.

Besides, most governing party conventions, at least of late, have given short shrift to agricultural policy. It is a sign of the times: the relatively good times recently enjoyed in agriculture.

Still, there was not one reference to future goals for agriculture in Stephen Harper’s speech to delegates. It was, however, interesting that he made two references to his government’s past rural accomplishments: ending the CWB monopoly and trashing the long-gun registry.

A resolution from Alberta delegates to kill supply management did not hit the floor, and was soundly poohpoohed by agriculture minister Gerry Ritz.

Is that it, then, for agricultural policy from this government?

And, what there is of it, can we say it’s consistent?

Keeping supply management but killing the wheat board, whatever you might think of either position, don’t seem to fit into the same free market file.

Call me cynical, but I suspect the Conservatives are going to need every single rural Ontario vote they can muster in the 2015 election. Supply management isn’t going anywhere.

One can also argue, on behalf of the righter side, that agriculture is business, and business tends to adhere to a free market philosophy in this part of the world. But most business has policy surrounding it. Consider the royalties paid by mining companies, or the tax laws, or the brouhaha over communications that has recently hit the news.

Even those who would say that agriculture is no different from any other business — and I am not among them — would have to consider that good, forward-looking policy is always important.

As Ron Bonnett, president of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, said, the government has to realize the ag 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.”

GOODBYE TO EARTH To the Editor:

Goodbye old Earth, you have been a faithful friend and a constant provider for all mankind during the countless centuries of time, but all that is coming to an end.

For, according to the leader of the federal Conservative party during his speech at the Conservative convention in Calgary (Nov. 1), this will no

longer be the situation.

The glaring comments that passed the lips of prime minister (Stephen) Harper tells us that Canada’s cherished and finite resources will now be extracted and utilized to the best advantage of bolstering Canada’s economy. Conservation and environmental concerns will be allowed to partner with development undertaking, but will not be allowed to impede or get in the way of any ambitious progress.

Timing is of the essence, and to hell with all else.

Does the government have to literally destroy every single resource that our Earth has to offer and share? Do they not have any concerns of what they are planning and doing during their time on Earth, ravaging its resources to the fullest and leaving absolute devastation?

This constant greed will leave a shameful footprint that mankind will be unable to erase.

An elder raised his eyes to the heavens and uttered these solemn words, “Lord, you promised you would not destroy the Earth again, as you did so long ago. Why is this happening?�

And a voice answered from above: “And I will keep my promise. The Conservative Harper government in Canada is doing it for me.�

MINERAL RIGHTS CORRECTION To the Editor: My Oct. 31 letter to the editor (“Mineral Rights�), focused on the Potash Restricted Drilling Area (PRDA) controversy arising from oil and gas drilling being sneakily and effectively prohibited back in 1995 on 46,080 acres around every potash mine, contains a typo of significance.

It should have read “...the de facto expropriation of our mineral rights without compensation (not “competition�) was unjust.�

As well, while corrections are being made, I do not believe that, as the original Sept. 30 article (“Farmers near mine fighting for mineral rights�) claimed, “both the government and the potash companies have a responsibility to pay.�

PRDA compensation should in fact be viewed as just another cost of doing business that potash companies should responsibly pay. This reportage misunderstanding is understandable, given the circumstances: while Karen Briere was ably interviewing me, I was driving a tractor pulling a grain cart unloading combines on the go.

To have the vice-president of marketing of Richardson International bemoan the fact that Canada’s top quality milling wheat reputation is beginning to slip (WP Oct. 11) is the height of chutzpa. Supposedly he was at the March Grain World Conference where Keith Bruch of Patterson said, “premiums will go the way of the single desk.�

HEALTH | ARTIFICIAL TRANS FATS

U.S. moves to ban trans fats citing health reasons Proposed ban welcomed by health sector | Trans fats are used in many processed foods and will have to be reformulated B O S TO N / WA S H I N G TO N (Reuters) — The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has proposed banning artificial trans fats in processed food, citing the risk of heart disease.

Partially hydrogenated oils, which are the primary dietary source of the fats, have been shown to raise “bad” cholesterol. Reducing the use of trans fats could prevent 20,000 heart attacks and 7,000 deaths from heart disease a year, the FDA said.

“While consumption of potentially harmful artificial trans fat has declined over the last two decades in the United States, current intake

remains a significant public health concern,” FDA commissioner Margaret Hamburg said.

Public health advocates welcomed the move.

“Artificial trans fat is a uniquely powerful promoter of heart disease, and today’s announcement will hasten its eventual disappearance from the food supply,” said Michael Jacobson, executive director of the Center for Science in the Public Interest.

The FDA’s proposal is not the first public effort to ban trans fats. New York City banned the use of trans fats in restaurants, while many restau-

rants and fast food chains, including McDonald’s Corp., have eliminated them.

Trans fats are present in a wide range of processed foods including crackers and cookies, frozen pizza and refrigerated dough, coffee creamers and ready-to-use frosting.

Some products will be harder to reformulate than others, FDA officials said.

“We know that technically this is not an insoluble problem,” Hamburg said, adding that the use of trans fats has declined dramatically since 2006, when the agency required

companies to disclose trans fat levels on package labels.

The Grocery Manufacturers Association said food manufacturers have voluntarily lowered the amounts of trans fats in their food products by more than 73 percent.

Partially hydrogenated oils are derived from vegetable oils such as soybean. Hydrogenation converts liquid vegetable oils into solid or semi-solid fats, which are preferred for baking and have a longer shelf life.

The FDA’s proposal is subject to a 60-day public comment period in which food companies are expected

to outline how long they expect it to take them to reformulate products.

If the proposal becomes final, partially hydrogenated oils would be considered food additives and would not be allowed in food unless authorized by health regulators. The ruling would not affect naturally occurring trans fat that occurs in small amounts in certain meat and dairy products.

Companies wishing to include trans fats in their products would have to meet the safety standards applied to food additives and prove with reasonable certainty that they do not cause harm.

“

W

e pray, not for a new earth or heaven,” writes Wendell Berry, “but to be quiet in heart, and in eye clear.

What we need is here.”

The insightful wisdom of this Kentucky farmer, writer and professor came back to me as I prepared my yard for winter. Berry pleads for us to learn to live in harmony with the natural rhythms of the Earth: in the way we treat our land, raise our families and nurture our communities.

“Do this,” he warns, “or perish.”

Remember when the agricultural establishment advised “get big or get out?” Berry and his many followers shudder with fear and embarrassment when they hear that.

He draws attention to the resulting soil erosion and aquifer degradation, and shows how he is able to reclaim what was neglected and abused. He takes delight in observing how, through cycles of growth and death, gravity and decay, nature can slowly build an inch of black humus in an old bucket along the fence line.

The same slow enriching can be done within local communities. We can either develop social standards set by T V sales folk and outside “experts,” or we can encourage storytelling, sharing of experience and knowledge, and building of respect and trust among neighbours as a community moves forward. Given a chance, the virtues of a strong local culture can outshine what the global society feels it should impose on us.

Consider the biblical story of the prodigal son who was lured by elusive promises. When he realized his mistake, he returned home. He was forgiven.

Communities still have values and rules of neighbourliness. They can renew themselves and enrich the lives of their people.

SHIPPING | PORT OF VANCOUVER

More grain, delivery errors put west coast port in chaos

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Vessel waiting times at the Port of Vancouver this year are as bad as they’ve ever been, says the company that monitors grain movement for the federal government.

And it doesn’t look like they’re about to improve any time soon.

Mark Hemmes, president of Quorum Corp., said some ocean vessels scheduled to haul western Canadian grain to overseas customers waited nine weeks or longer to be loaded earlier this year.

Other ships were partially loaded and then forced to wait for more grain as railways and export termi-

nals matched incoming deliveries with waiting ships.

Meanwhile, port terminal capacity at the West Coast is fully booked until late February or early March.

“I don’t think it’s time quite yet to start ringing the alarm bells, but it’s time to get our heads out and notice that we’ve got a problem,” Hemmes recently told members of the Inland Terminals Association of Canada in Saskatoon.

“This is the third year in a row where this problem has been going on and every year we look at it … it’s getting worse.”

Statistics used to measure grain movement don’t always paint an accurate picture of what is happen-

ing in the industry.

Grain deliveries to the country elevator system are up slightly from 2012-13, Hemmes said.

As well, the number of rail cars spotted at country locations has been running close to 10,000 per week for the past couple of months, which is a high number compared to other years.

However, demand for rail cars is extremely high this year.

Unfilled car orders are increasing weekly and wrong grain is arriving on the West Coast at the wrong time.

As a result, ships are spending more time than ever anchored at port.

The only saving grace is affordable ocean freight rates, which translate

into lower demurrage costs.

The cost of a Panama vessel capable of hauling 50,000 to 60,000 tonnes of grain ranges from $5,000 to $7,000 a day this year, down from the 10-year average of $25,000 to $30,000 per day.

Inexpensive shipping rates and demurrage charges have afforded grain companies more leeway in managing logistics and booking ocean vessels.

“They (the inexpensive rates) kind of gave a lot of grain companies an opportunity to get a little bit sloppy in how they manage some of the logistics of these vessels,” Hemmes said. “(Earlier this year), some boats sat for as long as 65 days out on the coast

waiting for grain.”

Numerous factors are contributing to shipping congestion and delays at the West Coast.

For starters, grain production in Canada is increasing because of improved production practices and greater spending on agricultural inputs.

Producers routinely grew 40 to 45 million tonnes of grain and oilseeds in the 1980s, but 50 to 60 million tonnes are now considered normal.

This year, volumes are expected surpass 65 million tonnes, approaching 70 million.

Increase in specialty grain As well, prairie farmers are diversifying their crop mix, meaning larger volumes and more types of grain are being squeezed through existing export channels.

West coast terminals could expect to ship 16 or 17 million tonnes of grain and oilseeds 10 or 15 years ago, but it has averaged more than 20 million tonnes for the last four years, with this year’s total nearing 21.5 million.

Further complicating the situation are rail and ocean freight differentials that provide strong incentives for grain companies to move prairie grain west rather than east, through Thunder Bay. “We’ve got a problem right now, and if you want to talk about the future, we’ve got to talk about the issues that we’ve got today,” Hemmes said. “And part of the problem that we’ve got right now is very dominant movement toward the West.”

Tim Heney, chief executive officer at the Thunder Bay Port Authority, said there is no congestion at Thunder Bay this year.

Grain movement through the Great Lakes has been down this year, although Heney is optimistic that this year’s large crop will translate into increased volumes into next year.

Grain movement patterns are adjusting to the current environment, which involves inexpensive ocean freight on the West Coast and an open marketing environment without single desk selling, he added.

“I think there’s more grain heading off the West Coast … trying to take advantage of those cheap Panamax ships out there,” Heney said.

“And I think it’s an adjustment period between the companies here.…

We have different ownership now and also no wheat board … so those changes have to be worked through.”

Accommodating larger grain export volumes in Canada could be a tall order, especially if demand for rail capacity from the oil and potash industries continues to grow.

Hemmes said using available capacity in Thunder Bay is one solution, and ensuring better co-ordination and faster unload times at Vancouver is another.

“Our future is going to be tied to improving our rail car unloading capabilities at the West Coast,” Hemmes said.

More tonnes of Canadian grain could move through U.S. corridors to the Pacific Northwest and the Gulf Coast, Hemmes added.

That has the potential to relieve pressure at Vancouver, although improving efficiencies at home is critical.

CONSERVATIVES | CAUCUS

Menzies leaves Parliament for private sector Alberta’s Macleod riding | Exiting MP mentions Marketing Freedom for Grain Farmers Act as career highlight

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

As Ted Menzies reflects on special moments in his career as a Conservative MP from southern Alberta, the first choice is predictable: the night he voted to end the C WB monopoly.

As a longtime crusader against the CWB single desk, the Claresholm farmer rose with the rest of the Conservative caucus last year to approve the Marketing Freedom for Grain Farmers Act. “That was pretty exciting,” he said Nov. 7 after announcing that he was resigning after nine years as the MP for the Macleod riding south of Calgary.

The moment was made more special because Jim Chatenay, a farmer from Penhold, Alta., and fellow antiCWB campaigner, was in the visitors’ gallery. He illegally shipped grain across the U.S. border in protest and went to jail briefly in 2002 over the issue.

However, local farmers were beginning their rice harvest inland where the ocean water did not reach.

“Farmers there were just going into harvest,” he said.

“It (U.S. shipments) destroyed the local food economy for local farmers.

As a food producer, I just think that is wrong.”

When the four-term MP announced his decision to retire effective Nov. 8, there were tributes from all sides of the House including a statement f ro m p r i m e m i n i s t e r S t e p h e n Harper.

Menzies has been minister of state for finance but was dropped from cabinet in the summer when he indicated he would not contest the 2015 election.

He said he will take a private sector job, although he was coy about what and where the job will be.

“I’ve had some very interesting offers in the private sector, one interesting enough that I took it very seriously and they want me fairly soon,” he said in explaining his decision to resign.

His Twitter account immediately

lit up with suggestions that he run provincially or maybe become the mayor of Toronto in the wake of mayor Rob Ford’s drunkenness and crack cocaine-smoking exploits.

But while his years in Ottawa led to some advances in his policy agenda, there is one issue on which Menzies admits Ottawa changed him.

He arrived as an adamant opponent of agricultural tariffs, including supply management.

“There’s a protectionist under every rock,” he once said.

However, exposure to supply management and its dair y and poultry farmers has led him to support the system and its protectionist tariffs.

“When you come to Ottawa, you have a lot of views and opinions based on knowledge you have gained so far,” said Menzies.

“And when you come down here you get a much broader view of what happens across the country and what works across the country. I guess I have mellowed, to put it bluntly. I have a broader perspective.”

I guess I have mellowed, to put it bluntly. I have a broader perspective.

TED MENZIES CONSERVATIVE MP

“To look up in the gallery that night and see Jim Chatenay crying, I knew we had done the right thing,” Menzies said in an interview.

“I’m very confident we did the right thing.”

The second highlight reel moment is less obvious: the Conservative government’s decision several years ago to untie Canadian foreign food aid, which allowed it to be bought locally rather than being shipped from Canada.

It was an issue Menzies said he worked on with both Liberal and Conservative governments after he was elected in 2004.

Two years ago, then-international development minister Bev Oda announced that all Canadian aid would be untied from the requirement that donations be bought in Canada.

Menzies was not at the announcement, but he had been working behind the scenes on the issue for years.

“Why would we think we had to ship wheat from central Saskatchewan to Mozambique to feed hungry people when we could actually buy it from people producing wheat a lot closer?” he said.

The prime example for him came in 2004 when a killer tsunami hit Sri Lanka.

The United States, the prime holdout in the move to untie food aid, shipped rice to the devastated country.

GMO | MARKETING

Food companies’ opposition to GM labelling misguided, say industry analysts Building trust | Establishing positive relationships with customers will require more than blocking GM labelling movement

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

The biotech and agri-food industry in the United States can finally exhale now that voters in Washington state have rejected mandatory labelling of genetically modified food.

The Office of the Secretary of State in Washington released the final tally for the ballot measure Nov. 7, which was defeated by a margin of 53 percent to 47 percent.

The measure’s failure represents a victory for agri-food corporations, but an expert in risk communication and risk perception said the industry needs to reconsider its position on GM labelling.

Harvard instructor David Ropeik published an open letter to the agbiotech industry in early November.

He said agri-food corporations are foolish to fight labelling laws.

“Even if you win the vote, you will lose the war … because the war isn’t about labelling. It’s about the public’s lack of trust in you,” he said.

“Your company’s opposition to labelling is hurting you far more than it’s helping. It is time for a new approach.”

Andreas Boecker, an agricultural economist at the University of Guelph who specializes in food related risk perception and consumer behaviour, agreed with Ropeik.

“By blocking attempts of labelling, you’re basically creating the suspicion … ‘well, what do they have to hide?’ ” he said.

“It is very much about trust and not trusting these huge corporations.”

Ropeik made that point in his letter.

He said a large percentage of GM opposition could be summed up by: “We hate GMOs because we hate Monsanto.”

Ropeik said food corporations fight labelling laws because they fear consumer reaction. A GM label will scare away a portion of consumers, but biotech industr y leaders don’t understand how consumers process everyday risk, he added.

“You don’t need research to tell you that people take risks all the time.

Knowingly. What the risk perception research has found is that the ‘knowing’ increases the likelihood they will take the risk in the first place,” Ropeik said.

“We all want choice over the risks we may face…. Choice makes risks feel voluntar y. It makes us feel empowered, more in control of our health and safety, and that makes any risk feel less scary.”

However, considering consumer reaction to GM food in Europe, it might be reasonable for the ood industry to fear labelling.

Boecker, who is from Germany,

said many food corporations in Europe don’t use GM ingredients because the public relations backlash is immense.

“There is a whole movement of anti-GM campaigners active in Europe who run what I would call name and shame campaigns.”

If a company decides to include GM ingredients in a particular food, opponents will organize a flash mob at a grocery store to embarrass the company.

Boecker said food corporations would have to walk a fine line if they agreed to labelling in North America, but the battle over GM food will persist if they don’t accept labelling.

WINE | CLIMATE CHANGE

Grapes grow in surprising, cold places Experiment successful | B.C. grower finds the right grape for his colder climate

BY LAURA KEIL FREELANCE WRITER

MCBRIDE, B.C. — Stalk upon stalk of wine grapes descend in rows in the mountain town of McBride.

Snow-capped peaks and wine grapes aren’t usually companions, but in the Mortensen family’s vision, people sip their glass from a patio and remark how McBride wine tastes like California wine did long ago.

At 53.3 degrees latitude, Kelly and Sharon Mortensen are set to become wine pioneers in Canada.

The family has led an elaborate experiment on their small B.C. farm over the last 10 years. Behind their house near the village of about 600 people is the beginning of this dream: two and a half acres of wine grapes, many still juvenile plants.

Their vines bore clusters of healthy grapes this year, which mean the plants have proven they can survive and thrive in -40 C temperatures.

The family has tried half a dozen varieties over the years and will now plant two or three successful ones on the remaining 2.5 acres of their five acre vineyard.

The new crops will need a few years to mature, but the experimentation is largely over.

“We’ve talked about it so many years, and now it’s finally happening,” Kelly said.

The Mortensens are among the entrepreneurial farmers anticipating the changes that will come with climate change. Climatologists predict that wine growing regions will shift significantly in the next 50 years. If they can produce wine, Kelly said theirs will be the northern-most winery using grapes in North America.

“The Okanagan may end up being

too hot and dry,” Sharon said.

“Climate change is creeping up the world to the poles, and we’re finding the weather here is quite different from … when we bought our property.”

The month-to-month temperature differences between McBride and Kelowna in the Okanagan Valley are 3 to 5 C, with similar extreme highs and lows. A winery near Salmon Arm, B.C., which is two to three degrees in latitude south of McBride, currently claims the title of “most northern (wine grape) vineyard in Canada.”

G r e g Jo n e s, a p r o f e s s o r a n d research climatologist at Southern Oregon University who studies wine grape growing, said most people view climate change as a gradual temperature rise over time. It can be more variable than that, which can cause problems for wine grapes.

Climate change hasn’t yet put a damper on B.C wines. In fact, the number of B.C. wineries has tripled in the last 10 years, mostly in the Okanagan.

While the Mortensens’ property is a six to seven hour drive north from the Okanagan, they say it has all the elements necessary for growing wine grapes, such as clean water and air.

Kelly said they have also discovered unintended perks about living in a colder climate. For one, the pests have not yet bothered his grapes.

Also, the temperatures are better suited for ice wine, in which the grapes must be picked and processed at -8 C or lower.

Okanagan producers are not guaranteed those temperatures until mid-winter, while in McBride they often come in October.

Wine grapes, as opposed to table grapes, cannot ripen indoors, mean-

ing a longer frost-free season is needed. Wine grapes also require more sugars to produce the alcohol and taste.

T h e Mo r t e n s e n s’ g r a p e s a re hybrids bred for a cold climate.

Kelly hopes the orchard will be in production within five years.

He said they can plant more vines and learn how to manage them now that they have rootstock that is acclimatized to their valley.

Manfred Freese of the B.C. Grapegrowers Association said 150 frostfree days is ideal, but growers can get by with 120 days. They also need the

temperature on those days to add up to 1,400 degrees.

He said it’s more than just the latitude; it’s also site dependent.

“If you’ve got valleys where cool air pools, well that’s obviously a strike against you,” Freese said.

Kelly said the environment in the Robson Valley is well-suited to making organic wine because there is little industry to pollute the ground and water.

“You don’t get any of the heavy metal pollutants,” he said.

“If you put a California wine on the table, I can tell you it’s from California

just the way it affects my palette with the amount of metals and pollution.”

The Mortensens are attempting to be self-sufficient. They let the chickens and horses graze in the orchard to keep weeds down and provide manure.

There is still plenty of work to do before McBride has its first local wine tasting, but the Mortensons don’t appear daunted by the challenges. In fact, it may be good for the wine.

“A good wine is the sign of a good struggle so let these things struggle,” Kelly said.

Outfitting companies, hunters and anglers abound here, but hunting doesn’t interest the Halpennys.

“I get more out of taking people to show the wildlife instead of shooting them,” Vern said about the tourists who flock to the region from around the world.

The couple, who raise 44 cow-calf pairs and train horses, commute to off-farm jobs in the district.

They calve out in spring, feeling it’s more in tune with nature and minimizes challenges from the weather.

They also call in experts when needed.

“We’re not scared to call the vet.

They do it 10 times as fast,” said Michelle.

The Halpennys move the herd with electric fencing to prevent overgrazing and keep them away from the river and dugouts.

Their white heavy horses, Roy and Buford, help feed round bales to the cattle.

“We don’t have to listen to the tractor,” said Vern.

“I wouldn’t do any of this without (Michelle). She’s worked alongside me all this time.”

A mule and heavy and light horses greet them in a corral during a tour of their 600 acre country home. “ We l o v e t h e a n i m a l s ,” s a i d Michelle.

They also enjoy sharing their love of animals and the outdoors with others, inviting them on sleigh rides and cookouts, kayaking and trail rides.

The former school bus drivers used to host sleigh rides, candy cane hunts and cookouts for their students each December.

“We always tried to invite guests to experience things. Young people don’t get a chance to do stuff anymore,” said Vern, who added it’s important to pass on agricultural knowledge to the next generation.

“We get a lot out of having young people around. That’s why we keep them (the horses).… We’re fortunate there were older people in the business. If you grow up in that community, they can tell you what their experience is. That’s what we pass on to kids who come around us.”

Both grew up in the area: Michelle on a mixed farm and Vern as the son of the Dorintosh hotel owners.

Vern bought his first quarter section of land in high school and added more in later years.

Their son, 29 and newly married, now works in Alberta’s oil industry, but grew up here, managing horses, raising chickens, milking cows for the family’s cream quota and chopping wood.

“It was all bush when we came here,” said Michelle. “Anything here we had to haul here.”

Living so far north means planning for 200 days of feed for their animals.

They protect it from foraging elk by keeping it behind a high fence.

“They would ruin the hay before we CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE could get it fed out, so we built a fence around the stack yard to keep them off the feed,” said Vern.

“It’s not what they eat but what they waste. Elk like to crawl onto the top of the hay.”

The Halpennys had previously used donkeys to keep their stock safe from predators such as coyotes and bears, but harsh winters were a problem for the animals, which had to be housed in a shed during the colder months.

Now in their 50s, the couple no longer has donkeys and has downsized the cattle herd from 100 head.

The district has also changed significantly since their childhood.

Meadow Lake once had a dairy, eight grain elevators and a rail line but still operates an auction mart for cattle sales.

“Prices haven’t been where they should be,” said Vern, who added that today’s prices reflect 1992 values.

A training wheel in the yard attests to their work training horses, something they have less time for now that

HEALTH | HAIR

Hair loss doesn’t exclusively affect men HEALTH CLINIC

CLARE ROWSON, MD

Age, genetics, stress and illness can all result in hair loss for women

Q:

I am a 52-year-old woman and am in good health apart from the fact that my hair seems to be getting thinner and is beginning to recede, rather like a balding man. It is also thinning on the top and back.

There is a lot of hair on my hair brush.

What is causing this? Do I need to be concerned or is it another menopausal symptom?

A:

Hair loss, known in medical terms as alopecia, may seem to be mainly a problem in men, but women are also likely to have thinning hair from hair loss.

Most women notice it in their 50s and 60s, but it can happen at any age and for a number of reasons.

In most people, hair grows at a rate of six inches a year, or half an inch per month.

The average hair loss is 50 to 250 strands a day. The highest amount of loss occurs when people wash their hair.

If you think you are losing an abnormal amount of hair, you should get your doctor to use a blood test to check for thyroid deficiency, ovarian cysts or autoimmune diseases.

Did your mother or your grand-

mother have hair loss as they got older? Check the old family photos.

Hair loss with age is due to an excess amount of male androgen hormones compared to diminishing levels of estrogen. This pattern tends to run in families.

Other reasons for hair loss include stress, surgery or severe illness.

Have you lost a lot of weight over a short time or taken too much vitamin A? They can also lead to hair loss.

However, there may be a delay of a few weeks or months after the event, so you may not notice an obvious connection.

After ruling out all medical and systemic problems, you may need to consider your hair care habits. Are you washing your hair too often? Do you use curling irons or straightening irons too often? Are you using perms or hair dyes? Do you have a bad hair brush that is too harsh?

Oral fluoroquinolones and the risk of retinal detachment B.C. researchers studied one million patients who had visited an ophthalmologist between January 2000 and December 2007 to see if there was any correlation between cases of retinal detachment and the use of fluoroquinolones, a type of antibiotic.

The researchers, led by Magyar Etminan, found that a person was five times as likely to develop a detached retina if they were taking ciprofloxacin.

Previous literature had reported three cases of macular degeneration and one case of retinal detachment after using ciprofloxacin, also known as Cipro.

OLIVER, B.C. — A new apple variety found by chance in David Evans’ Okanagan orchard has cleared the first of many hurdles on the road to commercial success.

This fall, the Oliver, B. C., resident

learned that the Canadian Food Inspection Agency had certified Okana, his new variety, and granted him plant breeders’ rights.

“Okanas have a sweeter taste and a deeper red colour covering more of the apple than Spartans, a close relative,” Evans said.

ago when he noticed sweet tasting fruit from one tree in his Spartan block.

The original tree still stands.

“Chance seedlings are notable exceptions to varieties developed at research stations. One such example recently is the Ambrosia apple,” said Evans.

Peter Waterman, a retired horticultural extension specialist in Summerland, B. C., said the Okana may be another.

“It’s a long and difficult road to achieve certification and naming. It is an equally long and arduous road to develop market acceptance,” he said.

Waterman noted the considerable risks involved for growers planting new varieties.

“An acre of commercial apples costs in excess of $20,000 to establish and takes two to four years to achieve adequate tonnage,” Waterman said.

Evans thinks he has a winner in Okana.

“People seem to like it,” he said.

His optimism is based on positive feedback from public tastings at the Osoyoos Market and the annual apple festival in Vancouver and brisk retail sales.

Stores throughout the Okanagan carry apples from the 900 Okana trees on the Evans orchard.

“I sold out in a week and had only favourable comments,” said Melinda Polesello, manager of Blossom Fruit Stand in Summerland.

Jovelin Poiriere, assistant store manage of Quality Greens in Penticton said customers are curious about it.

“It’s new and it’s local,” he said.

Okanas are also good cooking apples, said Evans’ wife Jean.

“They make wonderful pies and jams,” she said.

For years, Evans sold apples from his Okana trees as Spartans through a local packing house because he did not have protection for the new variety.

“Legally we can now sell them under the name of Okana,” he said.

At age 80, Evans is undaunted about the obstacles ahead for a new apple variety.

“I’m proud to have found and developed Okana myself and at low cost,” he said.

He has contacted several nurseries about carrying stock and will speak at producer meetings about growing Okanas.

“It’s important to have both grower and public demand,” Evans said.

ON THE FARM | BISON OPERATION

Producers eager to teach urbanites basics of bison Open Farm Day | Ranch tours showcase animals and allow producers to promote benefits of meat

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

INWOOD, Man. — Ken Overby spent much of last month doing something that he seldom had time for in the past.

“I’m just lying around,” said Ken. “I just got a new hip.”

Ken and Iris Overby operate a bison operation of more than 400 animals on 19 quarter sections of fenced land in the rough terrain of Manitoba’s Interlake.

That’s a busy bison farm, but both Ken and Iris spent decades working full time as teachers, just doing their bison work on nights, weekends and summers. Being busy is a way of life for them.

“We don’t have to look hard to find something that needs doing,” said Iris during a recent Open Farm Day while Ken repeatedly tractor-pulled wagon loads of people to the pasture

to meet the bison.

“We like to be busy.”

Ken’s hip surgery has forced him to sit back and accept help from friends, neighbours and a brother as he gets better, and he’s had to take time off from his current retirement gig: fulltime teaching at a private school in Stonewall, Man. Iris has had to take on extra tasks with Ken out of commission, but it won’t test her abilities much. She was working as a full-time teacher until two years ago.

The Overbys have found a way to be productive farmers in the generally infertile land of the Interlake. There are pockets of good cropland in the region, but most is marginal and even cattle production is a challenge in many areas. The land is rocky and large areas can be flooded in years such as 2011. As well, it takes a lot of land to support an animal.

Ken and Iris bought one bull, nine heifers and two cows in 1994 and expanded from there. They survived the boom and bust of the alternative livestock sector in the late 1990s and the BSE crisis of the mid-2000s.

Ken said their off-farm jobs as teachers kept them in business in the bad days because the main destination for slaughter animals disappeared when the U.S. market was shut, ruining many farms.

Teaching and farming at the same time aren’t easy, but Ken said they are able to do it because bison are low-management animals. They are ideally adapted to the Prairies, can be bale-fed on pastures for most of the winter and don’t need help calving.

The couple don’t think they could have managed hundreds of beef cattle while also working full time.

Their busy life hasn’t turned their two children off of agriculture.

Son Neil, 28, got an agriculture degree at the University of Manitoba, has a small, purebred Gelbvieh herd and works as a crown lands representative for Manitoba Agriculture near Ste. Rose du Lac. Daughter Jillian, 22, is in her second

year of an animal health technician program at Lakeland College in Vermilion, Alta.

“They both seem to like agriculture,” said Ken. Iris was kept busy during Open Farm Day greeting each group of urban residents that showed up at the farm, making sure everyone received lemonade and learned something about life as a bison rancher.

Ken spent a hour with each group of people he took out to the pasture, explaining the life of bison and how meat consumption demand has allowed the species to bounce back from its endangered status.

“If people didn’t eat bison meat, we couldn’t afford to keep them,” he said.

“I like showing people what a bison herd looks like up close.”

As he spoke to one group of visitors in the pasture, he apologized for limping and getting around slowly and gingerly.

However, his cane came in handy as a pointing device, and he often seemed more like a teacher than a farmer as he described how a bison herd behaves.

For Ken and Iris, the two worlds — teaching and farming — have always been combined.

In mid-October, Ken was doing neither as his hip mended after surgery, but he was keen to get back as soon as possible because, as Iris said, it’s never hard to find something that needs to be done around the farm.

amilies who hunt are always looking for new and interesting ways to process and prepare their fresh bounty. Some friends and readers have shared their recipes.

Angela Japp shared preparation tips and a steak marinade recipe. She said that it works well for deer, elk, moose and antelope.

Japp recommended marinating wild meat with a mixture containing at least one acidic component. She also suggests waiting until after cooking to add salt to prevent drying out the meat.

An excellent resource for wild game is Cookin’ Wild Game, The Complete Guide to Dressing and Cooking Big Game, Small Game, Upland Birds and Waterfowl by Teresa Marrone.

A family friend used the following recipe to make sweet Italian deer sausage that we enjoyed on pizza.

Teresa said the best choices for sausage are cuts that might be tough if cooked whole or small scrap pieces.

Trim the game meat of fat and the silverskin, the thin membrane that encases each muscle.

Fatty pork is usually added to produce a juicy, flavourful sausage. To produce the best texture, keep the fat and meat cold during chopping or grinding.

This sausage freezes well.

RELATIONSHIPS | MARRIAGE

Mid-life divorce can be difficult for couple’s parents to accept SPEAKING OF LIFE

JACKLIN ANDREWS, BA, MSW

Rebuilding families and relationships poses challenges

Q:

I just read your counselling article for sons and daughters whose parents don’t get along. Now that we have your email address, we would like to ask you for help.

It’s our son and his wife. After 27 years together and five children, of which one was killed in a car accident, she decided to leave home. She told my son it’s none of his business where she is.

I’m hurting for both of them. How can you help us?

A:

I have some thoughts that I would like to share with you, but remember as you go through my suggestions that I do not know anything about either your son or his wife. If what I am suggesting does not feel comfortable, please check with a family counsellor close to your community. I think that you will receive better guidance from someone who

is able to sit with you and develop a more complete picture of what is going on with your family.

As I see it, three things stand out for me in your letter: the ages of your son and his wife, the death of the child and who is leaving whom.

If your son and his wife have been married for 27 years, each of them must be at least approaching midlife.

This is often a significant time in peoples’ lives.

Midlife is the time in life when the children are either on their own outside the home or at least thinking about leaving the nest.

Raising children takes significant time and energy. When the children finally leave, they often leave behind a vacuum in their parents’ lives. The parents finally have the time to do what they want, but at times they are not sure what it is that they want to do. Many people feel an emptiness, a void, and are not certain what life is all about.

Of course, most people see their way through this difficult time in their lives, find other places to invest their time and energy and quickly carry on without difficulty.

However, some people struggle a bit with midlife and often question the value of those relationships at home that were previously important to them.

Many people end those relationships, and the divorce rate for people in midlife continues to rise. Your son and daughter-in-law are not alone in

their mid-life marital struggles.

For your son and your daughter-inlaw, this whole situation is likely complicated with the death of one of their children.

I do not know when or how your grandchild died, but I can still say without reservation that I would be surprised if the death of the child was

not a factor in the lives of your son’s family.

It is all wrong, isn’t it? Parents are supposed to die before their children, and it becomes difficult when the cycle is broken by the death of the child before the parents. I am not sure that parents ever fully recover from the loss of a child. I suspect that your

son and his wife continue to have moments when they wonder why their child had to die.

If I am correct, and both your son and his wife are lost in the search to make some sense out of their lives, the issue of who leaves who becomes important.

It appears that your daughter-in-law left the home. In all probability, your son would like her to return and is most likely wondering what he can do to get her back. That seldom works.

Your son’s task is to challenge his own understanding of what life is all about and try to make sense out of it for himself.

The more he is able to make personal progress, the better are his chances for rebuilding his family, either with his wife or without her.

Your task throughout all of this is to simply listen, without judgment, to your son and his wife. That is going to be difficult to do.

You see the two of them hurting each other, and it will be a formidable task not to step into their family, taking sides and getting angry.

However, it is important. You will give each of them the support they need If you can just listen to them and give them opportunities to explore with you what is and is not important to them.

Hopefully they will also seek professional guidance.

FOOD SECURITY | URBAN ENCROACHMENT

Canada’s future agriculture lies in ‘agriburbia’ High-value farming | Rural and urban communities will have to interact, says food security researcher

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

HARRISON HOT SPRINGS, B.C. — The notion that farming happens “out there” beyond the city walls changes as cities grow and sprawl over more farmland.

Lenore Newman, Canadian research chair in food security and the environment at the University of the Fraser Valley, has a word for the space where food production and residential development co-exist: agriburbia.

“One of the strong future branches of agriculture is going to be suburban,” she told the Canadian Farm Writers Federation annual conference recently in Har r ison Hot Springs.

Canada is a suburban nation, not an urban one, she said.

While urban agriculture draws headlines and cities approve backyard chickens and rooftop gardens, that type of agriculture won’t be enough to feed the growing world.

British Columbia’s Fraser Valley is a good example of the interaction between cities and agriculture, Newman said. The cities of Abbotsford and Chilliwack compete for space with poultry and dairy farms, berry operations and farm markets.

Newman said three types of agriculture occur in agriburbia, according to Newman.

One is a high intensity type of farming that uses high technology and as little land as possible. This includes peppers, eggs and crops specific to an ethnic market in nearby Vancouver.

Another type is small land-use and high-value farming that incorporates agri-tourism, such as berry farms and markets, vineyards and wineries, cut flowers and fresh herbs.

Newman said the addition of agritourism can lead to conflict, often because of urban residents’ perceptions of rural Canada.

“City people kind of expect to see square hay bales and a guy in overalls with a fiddle,” she said.

“They don’t expect to see aerial spraying or a giant building full of peppers.”

The third type of farming features farmers with small plots, likely organic and producing crops such as heirloom tomatoes for farmers markets.

Newman said these farmers are often young people with other jobs who are making a go of it on an acreage. They are also great ambassadors for agriculture because they are willing to talk about what they do.

The Fraser Valley area contains 0.2 percent of Canada’s arable land but produces 4.5 percent of the country’s farmgate receipts, said Kim Sutherland, regional agrologist with the B.C. agriculture ministry.

Farmgate receipts in the region are $7,300 per acre, she said, compared to the Niagara peninsula region at $3,200 per acre.

“The only basin that produces food more efficiently is the Nile,” said Newman.

Yet Vancouver and other cities in the region want to grow further into the valley.

Newman said the Agricultural

Land Reserve (ALR), which was implemented in 1974, has kept the region from turning into Los Angeles.

“That L.A. basin was one of the greatest farming regions in North America before we built 17 million people worth of city on it,” said Newman.

“It was a citrus area.”

The region was marketed in the eastern states as a place to move and grow 10 or 20 acres of fruit.

Los Angeles was close to amenities, but with no laws in place to protect farmland, the suburbs

washed over the region and wiped out the farms.

Not all cities sprawl like this, but Vancouver is the same model, Newman said.

“Four of the five biggest cities in British Columbia are in the Fraser River delta and it’s all one big city,” she said.

The only place it can sprawl is further into the Fraser River Valley, where the ALR is in effect.

She said only three percent of farmland has been lost since the ALR was implemented. Prior to that, the

region was losing 15,000 acres a year.

There are challenges, however.

Some of the farmland is in tiny pieces and is becoming too small to farm effectively.

As well, some of it is in such close proximity to urban development that complaints about smell and noise are common.

“You get a lot of tension because the way the land reserve works, it has a lot of fragmented boundaries,” Newman said.

“It has a lot of places where housing pushes into farmland and every time

that happens, people move into those places thinking that it’s going to be Old MacDonald growing wine and perhaps leaving a bottle at their doorstep every now and then.”

Sutherland said the ALR and land use planning principles are critical for the future.

“If you use conflict resolution mechanisms like minimum distance separation, you scatter the agriculture,” she said.

“If you use planning mechanisms, you can tighten it and the land can be used very, very efficiently.”

BEES | ALBERTA PRODUCTION

Honeybee population hit by a bad winter Winterkill rates reported at 24 percent | Long winter, late spring and a bee fungus contributed to the problem STORIES BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

EDMONTON — A long winter, late spring and a persistent honeybee disease combined to increase bee deaths last winter, says Alberta’s provincial apiculturist.

About 24 percent of Alberta’s honey bee population died during winter last year, compared to 15 percent the previous year, said Medhat Nasr, which he attributed to four factors.

“A long winter, a long winter, a cold spring and nosema,” he said.

Most bees went into the winter in good shape, but few could survive the long winter, Nasr told the Alberta Beekeepers Commission’s recent convention. Bee losses also started to mount when spring was late.

He said the fungus nosema also took its toll on the weakened bees as the winter dragged on.

“This was most likely associated with the late spring and the confinement of bees for a long time.”

Bees don’t defecate in their hives during the winter and can start to die if they fill up with feces after being con-

fined to a hive for four to six months.

“Even if you have chinooks for one or two days, that is good for the bees to go fly outside, defecate and come back. Even if it gets colder, they get relieved,” he said.

“Weather plays a factor in our business. There is no research that can change the weather. Just keep healthy bees and cross your fingers and hope things will work out.”

It was a beekeeping season that commission president Grant Hicks would like to forget.

“Conditions were not atrocious for

honey production, but we were so far behind by the number of hives that were lost,” said Hicks, who farms near McLennan.

“It was a year to develop mental toughness.”

Hicks also points to a lack of access to good quality U.S. queens as another reason winterkill losses have started to mount.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency won’t allow imported bees from the United States because they believe the risk of introducing disease and pests is too high.

Hicks said instead of importing high quality bees from California, Canadian beekeepers are forced to import poor quality stock not suited for Canadian winters.

“The genetics are not relevant to North American and they’re old bees,” he said.

“The American stock is selected from within North America and taken from top producing hives in Canada. The bees in California have been selected for Canadian climate for 50 years and we’re using something from the other side of the world. It’s frustrating.”

He said the border will likely remain closed until Canadian beekeepers can unite on the issue.

“When industry goes to the federal government, half say one thing and half say another and it makes it easy for the government to make no decision.”

EDMONTON — Urban beekeeping is becoming the new face of Alberta’s beekeeping industry.

With commercial beekeepers busy keeping bees, it’s left to the smaller urban beekeeper to explain the importance of bees to consumers, said Grant Hicks, president of the Alberta Beekeepers Commission.

“As a commercial industry, the urban beekeeper is very vital,” he said.

“They are the face of the beekeeping industry to the urban population.

As commercial beekeepers, we don’t really go near cities.”

There are 883 beekeepers in Alberta, and 125 commercial beekeepers produce more than 90 percent of the province’s honey.

It’s the urban beekeepers that have time to go to farmers markets or explain to their neighbours the importance of bees, said Hicks.

“Most of the people are doctors, lawyers, ministers and secretaries.

They have careers and well paying jobs and working with bees is therapeutic,” he said.

“We recognize their value.”

Medhat Nasr, Alberta’s provincial apiculturist, has doubled the number of beginning beekeeper courses to keep up with the demand from urban beekeepers, especially in Edmonton and Calgary.

“They’re hearing more about bees in the media and that has attracted them to bees, and why not have a couple hives for (their) own honey?”

Nasr said he works with new beekeepers to ensure they’re following best practices for bees and the honey they produce.

“It’s a good thing to represent the industry,” he said. “ You never know, they might become full-time beekeepers. It’s good for the industry. They’re more like ambassadors. They talk about bees and how they are good for the environment and pollination and all the good stuff.”

PULSES | NEW CROP

Farmers happy with soybean harvest 2013 performance | Manitoba growers see better yields than those in Saskatchewan

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

The average yield for soybeans harvested in Saskatchewan in 2013 is likely to be 27 to 28 bushels per acre. | FILE PHOTO

The soybeans on Cortney Solonenkoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farm performed admirably this year, despite a late seeding date, cool weather in July and a late harvest.

Solonenko, who farms near Stornoway, Sask., just finished harvesting 160 acres of beans in the last week of October. He seeded two varieties in the spring, and the earlier maturing variety was outstanding, averaging 41 bu. per acre. The other variety yielded 31 bu. per acre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone said it was a bad year for beans, but they seemed to manage through it pretty well,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The heat we got in August really (helped).â&#x20AC;?

Growing soybeans wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a complete novelty for Solonenko, who grew the oilseed four years ago. This spring he was determined to plant the crop despite wet soil conditions in May and June. In the end, he seeded beans the second week of June. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I always wanted to grow them again, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had tough seeding conditions here,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Finally this year we got them inâ&#x20AC;Ś.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very, very happy with it, especially with the conditions.â&#x20AC;Ś (We will seed) more beans next year.â&#x20AC;?

Soybean growers in other parts of Saskatchewan werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite as fortunate as Solonenko, but most soybean

fields produced respectable yields this year.

In its October estimates, Statistics Canada said Saskatchewan soybean growers averaged 27.3 bu. per acre on 170,000 acres of beans.

Dale Risula, a Saskatchewan government special crops expert, confirmed the provincial average was likely 27 to 28 bu. per acre.

A cool, late spring and a lack of moisture at the tail end of the growing season restricted yields, but the open fall was a blessing, Risula said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most if not all of soybeans were harvested without any problems and in good condition.â&#x20AC;?

Kevin Elmy, who has grown beans for more than a decade near Saltcoats, Sask., said it was an unusual growing season in his region. However, his soybeans withstood excess moisture in the spring and cool weather in July.

Elmyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soybeans yielded 27 bu. per acre, which is decent, considering his canola averaged 25 bu. per acre and

his winter triticale generated 45 bu. per acre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the big picture, the soybeans are the thing thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to create some cash flow on the farm this year,â&#x20AC;? said E l my , w h o s e l l s s oy b e a n s e e d through his other business, Friendly Acres Seed Farm.

Based on his conversations with new growers, Elmy said several firsttimers had the same question. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you tell me to grow these things earlier?â&#x20AC;? Elmy recalled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Compared to lentils and peas, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a dream to manage. The weed control, the disease (issues) and the harvesting â&#x20AC;Ś they really liked them.â&#x20AC;?

On the negative side, too many farmers planted soybean varieties touted as early maturing, which werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t authentic early varieties, Elmy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I talked to guys who said thank goodness we had an open fall â&#x20AC;Ś because the varieties they picked werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t well suited for Saskatchewan.â&#x20AC;?

SPECIAL REPORT

GLYPHOSATE RESEARCH: alarming or alarmist?

Glyphosate use has soared in North America, Australia and South America since the advent of Roundup Ready crops.

Besides triggering the development of a growing horde of resistant weeds, glyphosate’s status as the king of herbicides has also provoked a backlash from environmental activists and anti-biotech campaigners.

Considering the mounting hostility and the recent

clampdown on chemical use in Europe, such as the ban on neonicotinoids because of fears they are damaging bees, there’s no guarantee that glyphosate will be around for the long run.

In this special report, Western Producer reporter Robert Arnason examines the debate around what has been called the Once in a Century Herbicide.

GLYPHOSATE ORIGINS: Glyphosate was first patented by the Stauffer Chemical Co. as a cleaning agent in 1964.

Glyphosate is a broad spectrum chelator with macronutrients and micronutrients, such as calcium, magnesium, copper, iron, manganese, nickel and zinc.

Stauffer patented a series of phosphonic and phosphinic acids for industrial cleaners. In 1969 and 1971, Monsanto obtained patents for the use of phosphonic acids as growth regulators and selective herbicides.

In 1974, Monsanto patented the use of phosphonic acid derivatives as nonselective herbicides, now known as glyphosate.

Retired professor Don Huber caused a stir with a letter asserting a connection between glyphosate and a new, unknown pathogen. | FILE PHOTO

O

n Jan. 17, 2011, Don Huber, a retired Purdue University professor, submitted a letter to U.S. agriculture secretary Tom Vilsack.

The letter did not go unnoticed.

Biotech corporations, university agr icultural depar tments and countless bloggers immediately crucified or praised Huber’s assertion that a new, unidentified patho-

gen was putting the entire U.S. agricultural sector in jeopardy.

In the letter, Huber, a highly regarded plant pathologist, warned the pathogen was causing spontaneous abortions in livestock, triggering disease in soybeans and corn and could cause a “significant disruption of domestic food and feed supplies.”

Huber said the pathogen existed in

higher concentrations in Roundup Ready crops, and he suspected glyphosate was to blame.

“It is well documented that glyphosate promotes soil pathogens and is already implicated with the increase of more than 40 plant diseases,” said Huber.

“It is urgent to examine whether the side-effects of glyphosate use may have facilitated the growth of this pathogen, or allowed it to cause greater harm to weakened plant and animal hosts.”

Nearly three years later, Huber’s critique of glyphosate still divides the agriculture community. Scientists at major U.S. universities, including Purdue, where he is professor emeritus, have dismissed his claims as unsubstantiated. On the other side, antigenetic modification advocates and a minority of agricultural scientists maintain his warning was justified.

Charles Benbrook, program leader of a sustainable agriculture program at Washington State University, said there is little debate about the credentials of Huber, a retired colonel who specialized in natural and man-

made biological threats.

Still, the letter was a mistake, Benbrook said. “(To) say the theatre is burning down, we have to get everybody out of the theatre, you only get to do that once or twice,” said Benbrook, former chief scientist for the Organic Center, which provides evidence based information on the benefits of organic food.

“I don’t know if Don regrets doing it, but I sure regret that he did it. It undermined the confidence in and importance of most of (his) science that has stood up.”

At the time, the USDA was weighing the approval of GM alfalfa. The letter to Vilsack was essentially an intervention, Benbrook said.

“With the encouragement of certain GMO critics, Huber used the pending USDA decision on Roundup Ready alfalfa as an opportunity to raise the alarm over a yet unidentified… organism that could pose substantial new harm,” he said.

“He didn’t have the data lined up.

And we’re September 2013 and he still hasn’t published. Clearly, there

THOUGHTS ON GLYPHOSATE, ITS OVERUSE AND ITS FUTURE: Companies have told me that ‘we’re no longer looking for something like Roundup …. We’re looking for something that will complement glyphosate … but not replace it completely.’

FRANCOIS TARDIF GLYPHOSATE RESISTANCE SPECIALIST UNIVERSITY OF GUELPH

In pre-seed that’s where we see most of the glyphosate being used. With the cereal phases of rotation … other than the pre-seed, they’re not using glyphosate. There are a lot of other modes of action that are being used in there ….

There is more tank mixing now …. So, yes, more glyphosate might be being used, but I wouldn’t say it’s being overused.

SEAN DILK WEED MANAGEMENT TECHNICAL LEAD MONSANTO CANADA

We are overusing glyphosate. I don’t think there is much question to that in a lot of the agricultural community.

NEIL HARKER WEED SCIENTIST, AGRICULTURE CANADA

I think glyphosate will be around for a long time, but it’s losing quite a bit of its utility.

was a little bit of premature warning in that letter.”

Benbrook said Huber’s allegation of a mysterious new pathogen may have gone too far, but the science community shouldn’t disregard his glyphosate research.

“Huber had a long and distinguished career. He was one of the first well-trained scientists to really focus on the impact of agricultural production systems on soil microbial communities,” he said, adding that the overuse of glyphosate has likely caused “the emergence of literally millions of strains of new bacteria, soil micro-organisms and viruses….

It is also inevitable that some small percent will not be benign.”

In response to Huber’s letter, a team of USDA and university experts conducted a review of glyphosate. They published a paper, Glyphosate Effects on Plant Mineral Nutrition, Crop Rhizosphere Microbiota and Plant Disease in Glyphosate Resistant Crops, last fall in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.

Stephen Duke, lead author of the lengthy and complex paper, said the

team of scientists not only reviewed the scientific literature but also spoke to growers and industry representatives to assess glyphosate.

“I was asked to evaluate the claims of Huber. He has three main claims,” said Duke, research leader with the USDA Natural Products Utilization Research unit in Mississippi.

“One is that mineral nutrition in Roundup Ready crops is not right. Two, that these crops are more susceptible to certain diseases. Three, there is a disease in the crops that’s a new disease, (which) is causing problems.”

The scientists did not examine Huber’s claim regarding a novel pathogen because of a lack of evidence.

“There isn’t one published paper in a refereed journal with any data on any of these claims,” Duke said.

“These are claims he’s made without publishing any data.”

Duke and his colleagues concluded that concerns regarding plant disease and mineral nutrition in herbicide tolerant crops “are based on publications from a limited number of researchers” and the significance of those studies is questionable.

“Reports of significant adverse effects of glyphosate on mineral nutrition and diseases of GR (glyphosate resistant) crops are perplexing in light of the considerable body of literature and yield data that contradict such claims,” the authors said.

“Nevertheless, there might be effects of glyphosate in GR crops on mineral nutrition and/or disease under particular but uncommon conditions.”

In light of that conclusion, Duke is now conducting a multi-site study in which growers apply high levels of glyphosate to Roundup Ready corn and soybeans to evaluate the herbicide impact on plant disease.

Mainstream agricultural scientists may reject Huber’s arguments, but his ideas regarding glyphosate aren’t going away, said Fred Kirschenmann, d i s t i n g u i s h e d f e l l ow w i t h t h e Leopold Centre for Sustainable Agriculture at the University of Iowa.

Using a single tactic to control weeds isn’t sustainable, and growers are starting to see the consequences to soil and plant health, said Kirschenmann, who farms in North Dakota.

“It’s not that glyphosate is the problem. It’s that glyphosate is part of a pest management strategy that is the problem.”

Benbrook agreed there is a need for more studies on herbicide tolerant systems and how they affect plant health. Yet, at this point, the macroevidence suggests that glyphosate isn’t seriously compromising soil or plant health, he added.

“The fact that 98 percent of farmers are still planting Roundup Ready soybeans, they wouldn’t be doing it if they felt they were really losing a lot of yield.”

In the end, the rapid development and spread of resistant weeds and farmer response to that conundrum will play a much larger role in glyphosate’s future than fears about plant disease or soil-based pathogens, Benbrook said.

“If people want to save glyphosate as an effective herbicide, it better be down below 50 percent (of current usage),” he said.

“I hope farmers come to their senses and realize if they want to save this technology, they’re probably going to have to do it themselves.”

The product would last longer and be more useful when it is used if (farmers) used it every other year or once every three years.

STEPHEN DUKE RESEARCH LEADER, USDA NATURAL PRODUCTS UTILIZATION RESEARCH

There is a lot of agriculture around the world where glyphosate hasn’t been used that much…. It’s entirely possible for Monsanto and the biotech companies to find niches around the world.

If they introduce the technology in a disciplined way, placing heavy emphasis on resistance management … I could see glyphosate being around 100 years from now.

RESEARCH | CONFLICTING STUDIES

How does questionable science become fact? Just publish it A media case study | An MIT electrical engineer wrote a paper about pesticides that sparked debate about glyphosate and possible disease links

T

here is a basic understanding in academia: publish a thorough paper indicating a chemical or product is safe and the world ignores your work, but publish a study suggesting a chemical kills people and you become a folk hero.

“Bad news is news. If you want a story, it’s hard to publish something saying everything is going fine,” said Stephen Duke, a U.S. Department of Agriculture scientist known for his glyphosate expertise.

“Publishing no-effect papers is not the way to make your reputation as a cutting edge scientist.”

That thinking may be described as cynical, but the case of Stephanie Seneff, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology electrical engineer and computer science professor, demonstrates why academics are cynical.

In April, Seneff and Anthony Samsell, an independent scientist and consultant, published a paper on the dangers of glyphosate in Entropy, a multidisciplinary journal that charges academics a publishing fee.

In the literature review, Seneff concluded that glyphosate residues on corn, sugar beets, soybeans and wheat cause a laundry list of human

ailments, such as autism, depression, obesity, heart disease, cancer, infertility and Alzheimer’s disease.

Although her advanced degree is in electrical engineering, Seneff has branched out into writing about nutrition and health. In 2012, she published another paper, again in Entropy, making the controversial argument that aluminum adjuvant in vaccines and acetaminophen, the drug in Tylenol, increased cases of autism.

Despite Seneff’s questionable qualifications, the Reuters reporter still wrote a story on the glyphosate paper in a straight up tone, as if Seneff was a toxicologist who had studied agrochemicals for decades.

The Reuters story gave the Seneff and Samsell paper credibility, and thousands of bloggers, websites and institutions picked up the story, including the healthy living magazine Prevention and the Rodale Institute, an organic farming centre.

Media watchers such as Paul Raeburn, chief media critic for the Knight Science Journalism Tracker at MIT, slammed the Reuters story for irresponsibly “dropping bombshells … into the public discourse.”

In a blog post, Raeburn also asked

TTX 190

I 210

two questions: • Is it realistic to conclude that one herbicide causes multiple sclerosis, cancer, ALS, ADHD, autism and Parkinson’s disease?

• Why is an MIT electrical engineer, who specializes in human computer interactions, writing papers about pesticides?

“When claims are made that a particular substance can cause so many unrelated diseases, we might begin to suspect that it doesn’t cause any of them,” Raeburn said, answering the first question.

The media attention and intense online debate over Seneff ’s paper might provide the answer to question No. 2. Following the Reuters story, Seneff became a rock star among anti-pesticide campaigners.

In contrast to Seneff ’s paper, the media ignored two U.S. scientists in 2012 when they published a toxicological review of glyphosate that concluded the herbicide is safe.

John DeSesso and Amy Williams, toxicologists with Exponent, an American scientific consulting firm, reviewed glyphosate’s effects on humans and animals in the Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health.

They determined, as have previous scientific reviews, that the herbicide didn’t adversely affect developmental or reproductive processes at realistic exposure rates.

An internet search for the WilliamsDeSesso paper produced results from a few academic publications, while the Seneff-Samsell paper generated thousands of hits, mostly sites arguing that glyphosate causes cancer, bowel disorders or autism.

“For the past 30 years, Dr. Seneff has been passionate about teasing out potential causes of autism, after seeing what it was like for a close friend whose son was diagnosed,” said LibertyBeacon.com, an alternative media outlet. “(Seneff ) points out the clear correlations between increased glyphosate use over recent years and skyrocketing autism rates.”

Advocates, activists and scientists are increasingly challenging glyphosate’s harmless status, despite decades of research indicating it is safe. Gilles Seralini, a French scientist, has ratcheted up the pressure by publishing highly controversial studies indicating glyphosate formulations are toxic to human cells.

DeSesso said tension and debate is a normal element of academia, but a subculture exists where subverting mainstream findings is the raison d’être.

“There’s a whole segment of people that don’t believe what the government puts out or what industry puts out,” he said.

“There are the conspiracy theorists … and they’re making (a) living pub-

lishing papers looking at that. That’s a big driver for them, trying to find stuff … and to get people interested in what they’re doing.”

A minority of scientists may be dishonest, but most researchers are well intentioned, Raeburn said.

“A small number might pervert their results for personal gain or to support their beliefs, but we can find people like that in any field, whether it’s science, used-car sales or auto repair,” he said.

DeSesso agreed, saying scientists who publish papers claiming that a particular chemical is killing scores of humans are rarely committing fraud. In most cases, they believe in their results and their cause.

“They’re not stupid people,” he said. “They think they are doing the right thing.”

As Raeburn noted in his blog, Seneff’s glyphosate expertise and her scientific conclusions may be suspect, but the turning point in the saga was the media exposure. Questionable science becomes part of the debate if a journalist uncritically reports on such studies.

“I think that some people begin with a point of view and then go looking for “studies” that support it, and sometimes those studies are not very good,” Raeburn said.

“We’re not always as rational as we like to think, and neither are scientists.”

RESEARCH | TOXICITY

Chemical spray additives warrant more scrutiny: researchers Toxicity studies | French researcher says glyphosate exposure is linked to tumour development in rats while others say study was flawed

Y

es, it is true. Glyphosate is less toxic than table salt.

Studies have demonstrated that the median lethal dose, or LD50 which kills 50 percent of lab rats, is 3,000 milligrams of salt per kilogram of rat.

Extrapolating those results to humans, 300 grams of salt would kill a 100 kg man 50 percent of the time.

In comparison, glyphosate’s LD50 is 4,320 mg per kg of rat, meaning 432.0 grams of glyphosate are needed to kill a 100 kg man, 50 percent of the time.

However, LD50 measures the toxicity from a large, single dose rather than long-term, low-dose exposure to a chemical.

As with any herbicide, people who use glyphosate should follow application safety guidelines.

Scientists, most prominently French researcher Gilles Seralini, have recently become interested in the toxicity of repeated exposures to glyphosate.

In what might have been the most controversial scientific paper of 2012, Seralini and his University of Caen colleagues determined that rats that drank water laced with Roundup and consumed Roundup Ready corn developed tumours and died two to three times more frequently than a control group of rats.

GLYPHOSATE USE BOOM

The scientific establishment pounced on Seralini’s conclusions days after publication.

The French Academies of Agriculture, Science, Medicine, Technologies and Veterinary Sciences issued a joint statement criticizing the study’s methods and the statistical analysis of its results.

The academics also said “cancer” wasn’t mentioned in the Seralini paper but that “tumour” was used as a metaphor for cancer.

On top of his most known paper, Seralini has conducted studies showing that Roundup disrupts endo-

crines after entering human cells.

John DeSesso, an American toxicologist who published a compreihensive review of glyphosate’s impact on development and reproduction in humans and animals, said cellular studies are often flawed and misleading.

He said Petri dish studies usually ignore how a chemical is diluted in the environment and within an animal before it reaches the target cell.

“The issue with tissue culture experiments is that you’ve removed all the protective mechanisms that the whole animal has,” said DeSesso,

a scientist with Exponent, a scientific consulting firm.

DeSesso’s critical review, with his Exponent colleague Amy Williams, concluded there is little evidence s h ow i n g t hat a p p rove d u s e o f glyphosate harms reproduction or development.

However, their paper focused on the toxicology of glyphosate rather than the toxicology of glyphosate formulations.

All formulations contain chemicals known as surfactants and adjuvants, which allow glyphosate to penetrate plant leaves.

In a paper published in Toxicology, Seralini concluded that the additives, particularly polyethoxylated tallowamine (POE A), are toxic to human cells.

As well, a number of papers, including a Trent University study, have shown that POEA causes growth and sexual abnormalities in frogs.

DeSesso said there might be a need to study surfactants and glyphosate formulations more closely.

“It’s reasonable to say people ought to think about looking at the toxicity o f s u r f a c t a nt s, i f t h e y hav e n ’ t already.”

IT’S THE GROUP 2 WITH THE #1 PUNCH.

In 1995, American growers applied 8.7 million pounds (4,000 tonnes) of glyphosate to their corn and soybean crops. In 2010, they applied about 150 million lb. (68,000 tonnes) of glyphosate to corn and soybean fields.

The U.S. Geological Survey reports that U.S. agricultural use of glyphosate was less than 10,000 tonnes in 1992 and more than 80,000 tonnes in 2007.

The explosion of glyphosate applications on U.S. soybeans is most striking. From 1995 to 2012 there was a 16-fold increase in glyphosate use on U.S. soybeans.

By the late 2000s, glyphosate represented 95 percent of all herbicides sprayed on U.S. soybeans.

Agriculture Canada doesn’t publish statistics on glyphosate use, so stats for canola and other Canadian crops are not readily available.

Grouse numbers dangerously low Sage grouse | Wildlife officials say there is an urgent need for action

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Agriculture, oil and gas exploration and other human activity have reduced Alberta’s sage grouse population to about 50 birds.

O nce ranging as far nor th as Empress, Alta., sage grouse are now found only in the southeastern corner of the province, south of the Cypress Hills.

Saskatchewan populations have had a similar fate, with grouse found in a small southwestern region in the Frenchman River valley and Grasslands National Park. “ The sage grouse population decline has been severe,” said Alberta Fish and Wildlife biologist Joel Nicholson, noting most of the remaining North American population now lives in Montana and Wyoming.

“We’re at a situation in Alberta now where we likely have 50 or fewer grouse, total population, and so we need to do some really significant immediate actions to prevent this population from becoming extirpated in Alberta.”

Nicholson recently told a Wildlife Society-sponsored Wildlife in the Wind lecture series about efforts to reintroduce sage grouse in attempts to stave off complete loss until solutions can be found.

“The translocation of sage grouse into Alberta is only viewed as a temporary solution and we know that we must do concurrent habitat reclamation and enhancement on the landscape to keep sage grouse over the long term,” he said.

Birds captured in Montana were released at several southern Alberta locations in 2011 and 2012, with limited success.

In 2011, weather resulted in only nine hens being captured and released.

In 2012, 29 hens and three cocks were released, most of them fitted with transmitters so biologists could track their movements and survival.

After release, the grouse typically explore their new area in widening circles. Nicholson showed a map of one bird’s movements that took it into two provinces and one state, for a total of 1,019 kilometres in a threemonth period.

Two of eight released hens nested In 2011 and 11 did so in 2012. However, only one of the nests survived to brood stage because of depredation from coyotes, ravens and crows.

In 2013, only four of the eight hens being tracked had nests, and two of those broods survived.

“This is a little bit troubling in that other translocations have shown that after the initial year, the translocated hens typically behave like the resident birds and we should have had 100 percent nest initiation.”

University of Regina masters student Kayla Balderson is studying the structures and activities in sage grouse range that seem to prevent the translocated birds from permanent habitation.

She has found that grouse won’t live w ithin 150 metres of far m buildings or 650 metres of electrical lines. In addition, they avoid areas within one to two km of well sites,

50 BIRDS ARE EXPECTED TO MAKE UP THE ALBERTA SAGE GROUSE POPULATION and there are many in their remaining range.

Oil and gas structures discourage grouse, which are extremely sensitive to noise and avoid tall structures

that could house predators.

Balderson said more data on avoidance distances could help the government and energy companies better plan future development or provide guidelines for removing abandoned wells to improve habitat.

“We’ve got solid commitments for reclamation of 50 some well sites over the next two years, all of which are in our better sage grouse habitat,” added Nicholson.

He said oil exploration in large areas of habitat in southeastern Alberta is not being allowed unless companies can show how the projects will protect the grouse.

In Alberta, sage grouse have been reduced to a small number of birds in the southeastern corner of the province. | FILE PHOTO

North Dakota example shows corn, soybean spread Biotechnology investment | New technology that will bring improved corn and soybean varieties will come from the U.S. and Europe

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

If there are any doubts about the future of corn and soybeans in Western Canada, the best location for guidance is North Dakota’s Cass County, says Bill Wilson, a North Dakota State University professor.

Beans were a specialty crop in the county 15 years ago, grown primarily for the tofu market.

“Today, we are the largest single producing county of soybeans in America,” Wilson said during a lecture at the University of Manitoba in late October.

Since 1995, soybeans and corn have

gobbled up North Dakota acres at the expense of spring wheat, barley and durum, Wilson said, pointing to a map illustrating the northward and westward expansion of the U.S. cornsoy belt.

According to the NDSU website, small grains were planted on 71 percent of all cropland in North Dakota

cent of seeded acres by 2013 and corn and beans represented 40 percent of plantings.

Given that trend and recent biotech announcements, it’s almost certain that corn and beans will spread northwest into Western Canada, Wilson said.

In June, Monsanto announced its plans to spend $100 million over the next decade to develop corn varieties that mature in 70 to 85 days, with the objective of eight to 10 million corn acres on the Prairies by 2025.

“And all of the technology companies said they’re going to do the same thing,” said Wilson, who consults with Fortune 500 companies, governments and institutions around the globe on grain marketing, logistics and trade.

“That’s a big story. It will have a huge impact on agriculture throughout all of North America.”

North Dakota farmers regularly grew 11 million acres of spring, durum and winter wheat in the mid-1990s, but by this year all wheat acreage had fallen below seven million acres.

Wilson said the acreage loss isn’t surprising, considering the relative returns on corn, beans and wheat.

Wilson said estimated returns for corn near Jamestown, N.D., were $175 an acre this year and $100 per acre for beans.

“Returns for wheat are about $50 an acre.”

Ed Tyrchniewicz, a senior scholar in the U of M’s agribusiness department, said it’s concerning that prairie farmers must rely on non-Canadian firms for biotech investment.

“A lot of those companies are American or European companies and really we’re very much like a branch plant,” he said, following Wilson’s lecture.

“It is not cutting edge (research) here…. We’ve cut way back not only on GM ( genetically modified) re s e a rc h , b u t o n a g r i c u l t u r a l research in general in Canada…. I think we have to try to keep pace with the rest of the world, in terms of the private sector and the public sector (investment).”

Wilson said the amount of private money invested into seeds and traits for corn, soybeans and other GM crops swamps the investment in wheat.

He estimated that Monsanto now spends $1.8 billion a year on such research. Other biotech firms spend less, but figures are rising.

“You take all these numbers and put them together, these companies are spending $8 to $10 per acre, per year, on research,” he said.

“How much do we spend on wheat research in America? Seventy cents per acre, per year. How much do you spend? Forty cents, per acre per year.

Is it any wonder the nature of change we have.”

RURAL MUNICIPALITIES | POLICY

Crop insurance falls short of promise: farmers Unseeded acres | Sask. ag minister says inspection procedures for crop inspections will be reviewed STORIES BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Some Saskatchewan farmers are still angry that they didn’t receive crop insurance coverage for all their unseeded acres this year.

Delegates to the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities’ midterm convention said they bought enhanced insurance but then didn’t get the benefit.

John Olinik, reeve of the RM of Kellross, told the convention that agriculture minister Lyle Stewart encouraged farmers to increase their coverage.

“Crop insurance customers were told that the claims would be treated in the same manner as other years,” he said.

“Well, that obviously didn’t happen.”

He said a larger farmer in his RM received $5,000 for 500 unseeded acres. The problem was he paid $9,000 to increase his coverage from $70 to $100 per acre.

“Virtually nobody got what they thought they should get,” Olinik said.

“We think we were treated unfairly in this situation, and we feel that the government, the ag minister, should revisit these claims.”

During his address to the delegates, Stewart said producers should qualify if their land was in good seeding condition last fall but too wet this spring.

However, he said the program is not designed to compensate farmers for permanent or semi-permanent water bodies, and there has been no change in that policy.

He said farmers made so many claims because of flooding in the previous two years that inspectors

couldn’t get to them all. This year, they were able to get back to proper procedure.

Stewart said he has told crop insurance to be flexible and work with producers.

“In many cases they provided a secondary inspection that resulted in a change in the compensation paid,” Stewart said.

“I’ve also instructed officials to review our files to ensure that producers were treated fairly.”

He said crop insurance is looking at how the issue can be better addressed in the future.

The matter was also raised in the legislature during question period Nov. 7. Agriculture critic Cathy Sproule noted the SARM resolution and asked Stewart what he was doing about farmers’ concerns.

She said the definition of permanent water body was changed after producers had bought their insurance.

Stewart repeated that crop insurance is being flexible and that he had reinforced that need w ith senior crop insurance officials the previous day.

Producers who are still unhappy, even after a second adjustment, may appeal, and the minister said that has happened in some cases.

He said crop insurance has paid $740 million in unseeded acreage coverage since 2010.

SARM delegates also passed a resolution asking that the deadline for unseeded acreage coverage be extended from June 20 to July 10.

Stewart said SARM resolutions are taken seriously and the request would be discussed. However, he said the program must be sustainable.

Rural municipalities in Saskatchewan have asked the province to negotiate a compensation policy to better deal with damages caused when floods reroute highway traffic onto grid roads. | FILE PHOTO RURAL MUNICIPALITIES | POLICY

Detours costly for Sask. RMs Flooded roads | RMs look for new compensation for damaged roads Rural municipalities that saw traffic detoured on to grid roads due to flooded highways want a compensation framework in place to deal with similar situations in future.

Norma Sheldon, reeve of the RM of Prince Albert, said detours caused significant problems for the RM in the last few years. She told the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities midterm convention that the highways ministry uses a draft compensation formula that doesn’t take enough factors into consideration.

She said the RM’s first experience was during the closure of the Diefenbaker Bridge through Prince Albert due to construction.

“We have a couple of ferries in our RM and the ferry road became the access for large vehicles to cross the North Saskatchewan River for four

months,” she said.

The road is about 5.5 kilometres long and Sheldon said the RM received $4,000 over four months to repair it.

“Our second and more traumatic of experiences came this spring with the Highway 2 south closure out of Prince Albert,” Sheldon said.

Highways detoured traffic on to grid roads even though the RM had declared a disaster and then a state of emergency.

“There was no consideration for the point at which we were in those roads,” she said.

The additional traffic meant more money then had to be spent on dust control.

One traffic count showed 584 cars passing by a rural residence in one day.

Sheldon said regional employees with the highways ministry told the

Midge tolerant wheat protects your crop against devastating pest damage, but it’s up to you to protect the technology. The Stewardship Agreement limits the use of farm-saved seed to one generation past Certified seed. It’s a simple step that keeps the interspersed refuge system at the proper level, preventing build-up of resistant midge.Without the refuge, we risk losing the one and only tolerant gene.There is no plan B. Protect this important tool. Plan for high yields and quality grades for years to come. Contact your retailer or visit www.midgetolerantwheat.ca.

RM that if money is spent to fix roads in one area it takes away from another. But she noted that the province is eligible for reimbursement from the federal disaster assistance program so that shouldn’t be an issue.

Compensation to RMs is the same “whether your highway is closed for 10 days or 10 weeks,” Sheldon added, and that’s a problem, too.

A resolution submitted by the RM of Prince Albert and passed by the delegates asked SARM to negotiate a policy framework with the highways ministry to address compensation for RM roads.

The motion said the framework should address: the condition of the RM in terms of declared disasters; a timeline to reset the compensation formula based on traffic counts; other costs such as gravel, dust control, signs and additional equipment; highway traffic staff to survey overweight vehicles; and, assistance to address seasonal road conditions.

The motion said 60 percent of the compensation should be paid to the RM within the first 15 days of the detour and the remainder paid within 10 days after the detour is ended.

The compensation rate should be reviewed and revised annually by SARM and highways.

Finally, the motion asked SARM to get assurances from the province that any compensation is not coming out of regional highways offices’ maintenance budgets.

Sheldon said the motion is about empowering SARM to negotiate so there are at least some guidelines in place.

Never too late to start career in showing cattle Showing cattle | First time competitor gets help from mom preparing heifers

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

EDMONTON — Some people buy a fancy sports car or take a cruise to satisfy their midlife crisis. Shelley Grundberg quit her job and started to show cattle.

“I just wanted to have fun. I wanted to enjoy what I’m doing in life,” Grundberg said while washing and scrubbing the two Red Angus heifers she brought to Farmfair International.

“I stepped out of my comfort zone,” said Grundberg, 52, of Camrose.

“Life is too short and you’ve got to love what you do. You have to have courage,” said Grundberg, who spent the last three years as a school trustee for the Battle River School Division and the previous five years as a delegate to Alberta Beef Producers.

While it’s Grundberg’s first time showing beef cattle, she isn’t totally new to the industry. She showed Holstein cattle as a teenager and recently helped her daughter, Stacia, show their family’s red Angus cattle.

Now that Stacia has graduated from high school and is working, Grundberg thought it was time she show the cattle.

“I love the cattle. This is what I am passionate about. Every time you go out you learn something new,” said Grundberg, who halter broke the heifers over the summer.

“It keeps me out of the Bay. Now I shop for Carhartt’s (rural chic clothing).”

Grundberg said that what she doesn’t know about washing, fitting and showing the cattle, she is willing to ask the other competitors.

“I ask everyone one question so they don’t think I’m high maintenance.”

Grundberg also relies on help from

her mother, Evelyn McGhan, of Athabasca, Alta. While Grundberg washes the cattle, McGhan wraps up hoses or sweeps in front of the stall.

“I’m the gopher,” said McGhan.

“I will do whatever I can do to help out. It’s always nice to spend time with family and meet new people.”

RIFLES | RUGER AMERICAN

Budget conscious hunter will be happy with Ruger American OUTDOOR PURSUITS

KIM QUINTIN

Add a quality scope to this rifle and you’re bound to have success in the bush

T

he Ruger American rifle is designed to be a lightweight and trustworthy hunting rifle

for buyers on a budget.

It is a centre fire bolt-action rifle manufactured in the United States.

The standard model comes in either short- or long-action, has an overall length of 42 inches and weighs six to 6.5 pounds depending on the choice of calibre.

The compact model comes only in short-action, has an overall length of 36.75 inches and weighs six lb.

All models come with a detachable four-round rotary magazine that sits flush in the stock.

The magazine and stock are made from a black composite material, while the hammer-forged sporter barrel is free-floated.

Primary safety is on the tang and

the receiver is block-bedded in the stock and pre-equipped with Weaver-style scope bases.

Loading the rotary magazine took a little getting used to for those familiar with the box magazine or top-loading firearms. However, it proved to be reliable in operation.

The rifle isn’t intended to be a bench rest or competition precision firearm, but it’s accuracy was more than sufficient for hunting game at appropriate distances using a variety of off-the-shelf ammunition selections.

The trigger proved to be crisp and user adjustable for a three to five lb. pull. The bolt was dependable and smooth for the comparative cost of

the rifle, and its 70-degree lever throw had plenty of room for gloved manipulation when mounted with a scope.

The stock came pre-equipped with an effective and soft recoil pad.

The rifle does not have iron sights or a raised stock comb. Some shooters will probably need an aftermarket cheek pad for use with a scope.

The pre-equipped scope bases limit owners to Weaver-style rings unless they replace them.

Lightweight firearms such as the Ruger American rifle are excellent to pack or sling while on foot. However, the trade-off is notable recoil in larger calibres.

This appears to be an overall design

A CONSISTENT TOP PERFORMER

choice by Ruger, considering that the sporter barrel is designed for one or a few hunting shots at a time.

I personally found it beneficial to use a shotgun recoil shield strapped over my shoulder when testing a standard model chambered-in .3006 Springfield cartridge.

This rifle will reward an owner who attaches a good scope with strong rings. Owners should consider buying a scope from a respected brand name for about the same money they spent on the rifle.

This combination should create a shooting package that is more capable than the average hunter, leaving room to further develop shooting skills.

Many budget hunting rifles are on the market, and buyers must be careful to balance cost, features and quality when going over the options.

The Ruger American rifle is an excellent choice for the dollar.

BEES | MANAGEMENT

Study links neonicotinoids to immunity suppression Insecticide problems piling up | In a new study, two neonicotinoid insecticides are shown to increase vulnerability to deformed wing virus

BY JEFFREY CARTER FREELANCE WRITER

DRESDEN, Ont. — Many beekeepers have accused neonicotinoids of killing their tiny charges, but evidence is now showing that the insecticides are linked to other bee health problems as well.

Ne o n i c o t i n o i d c l o t h i a n i d i n adversely affects insect immunity and promotes reproduction of a viral pathogen in honeybees, eight Italian scientists wrote in the October edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States journal.

“A neonicotinoid insecticide compromises the immune system of the honeybee,” said Gene E. Robinson, an entomologist and honeybee genomics specialist from the University of Illinois who edited the article.

“This paper certainly would motivate additional research to see how widespread the problem might be, especially under natural beekeeping conditions, in different parts of the world.”

The study explored the impact of

clothianidin and imidacloprid on bee immunity to deformed wing virus (DWV) at a wide range of exposure levels. This included exposure levels as small as one thousandth of LD50, which is the exposure rate at which a toxin will kill half the members of a tested population.

Exposure to the organophosphate insecticide chlorpyrithos was also part of the experiment, which divided newly emerged bees into groups of 30. It was conducted under laboratory conditions.

DWV, a common virus affecting honeybees, is associated with the parasitic mite varroa destructor, which can easily spread the virus within colonies. Infected larvae typically have deformed wings when they emerge as adults and soon die.

The varroa-DWV disease complex has often been described as the No. 1 challenge for honeybee producers.

The study’s authors found that the two neonicotinoids appear to compromise the immune response of bees to DWV, adding another layer of stress to colonies.

“Collectively, our data demonstrate that two neonicotinoid insecticides, each representing one of two alternative structure types in the group of nitroguanidines, actively promote DWV replication,” the paper said.

In addition, the researchers suspect that the immunity alternations may also affect gut microbial pathogens in bees, further affecting bee health.

“Indeed, pathogen proliferation induced by insecticides can cause additional mortality, even at sublethal doses, and may contribute to the observed negative influence of some insecticides, or their mixtures, on bee longevity and colony stability,” it said.

“The results we report clearly indicate the need for longer-term toxicity tests, aiming at assessing how the pathogen progression in honeybees is influenced by insecticide residues and by their cumulative effects, both on adults and larvae.”

The authors of the paper are Gennaro Di Presco, Valeria Cavaliere, Desiderato Annoscia, Paolo Varricchio, Emilio Caprio, Franceso Nazzi,

Ernesto Guzman, head of the Honey Bee Research Centre at the University of Guelph, expressed confidence in the research, given the stature of both the journal and its editor.

“The content of the abstract makes absolute sense to me, and they followed a novel approach to show a

cause-effect type of reaction,” Guzman said.

Clothianidin and imidacloprid are used widely in agricultural and consumer products. In agriculture, they may be best known for their use in systemic seed insecticides for a broad range of crops including canola, corn, soybeans and wheat.

The registration of both products, along with thiamethoxam, is under review in Canada and the United States.

PRESERVING HISTORY | DAIRY BARN

75-year-old beauty still appreciated 15,400 sq. foot haul | An estimated $250,000 will be spent to relocate historic barn near Pincher Creek, Alberta

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

P I N C H E R C R E E K , A l t a. — It shouldn’t be too hard, in theory, to move a barn a few kilometres up the road.

But this 1938 barn has two 110-foot long sections, each 35 feet high.

That’s a total of 15,400 sq. feet of space to be moved through the farmyard, across Pincher Creek (the waterway, not the town), across Highway 3 and across the Oldman River Dam to a new home.

It’s why it’s going to cost an estimated $250,000.

The barn was built by Boss Zoeteman, a dairy farmer from Pincher Creek, who used it until he sold it to the Vogelaar brothers in the late 1950s.

They used it for their own dairy operation until 1972 and then continued to maintain and use it for other purposes.

The farm operation, including the barn, was sold to Sproule Agro of Pincher Creek earlier this year, and the new owner has no use for the barn.

Organizers at the Heritage Acres Farm Museum, about 16 km away, are raising money for the move and preparing a new foundation for its

Rob Mitchell, president of the Oldman River Equipment and Thresh-

ing Club, which operates Heritage Acres, said this isn’t the first overture his group has had regarding the barn.

The first one came from the Vogelaars.

“It was 10 or 15 years ago that it was

actually offered to Heritage Acres for $1,” he said.

“Heritage Acres always thought it would be lovely to have, but nobody tackled the project and so it got down to the point where it was either move it or it was going to be demolished.”

Mitchell said the barn has unique construction worthy of preservation and will be useful for storage and displays at the farm museum.

“This lends itself to storing, displaying and telling the story of the early cattle industry,” he said.

“Also, it’s a dairy barn, so of course we’d like to see part of it used to display and tell the story of the dairy industry from the time that every quarter section had a milk cow and the importance of that to the agricultural industry. Most people would tell you that those cream cheques put groceries on the table.”

Holmes Building Movers of Stavely, Alta., will do the move and is reducing its price to $75,000 from $95,000 as a contribution to the project, Mitchell said.

AltaLink, which is now installing a new transmission line in the region, will lift the necessary power lines at no cost, as will Fortis Alberta on its lines.

Part of the barn was built in 1938 for a dairy operation while the other half was added later. Both parts will be moved to the new site, where they will house antique farm equipment and help recount the history of agriculture in the region.

A new foundation will cost $40,000, while other spending items include a new roof, paint and related labour.

Mitchell said requests for financial

assistance have been well received. “ We p r o b a b l y h a v e c l o s e t o $200,000 of the project in kind and in cash. We could use a little more cash right at the moment.”

The group also plans to apply for matching provincial government grants available for facility enhancement.

“The support has been absolutely

stupendous,” said Susan Vogelaar, one of the volunteers soliciting donations for the project.

“I haven’t talked to anybody who’s had any negative reaction about it. I

think that’s a positive for the community, for sure.”

The tentative date for the move is Feb. 4, but it will depend on weather and wind conditions.

FALL FERTILIZING | EXTENSION SOUGHT

FREE TRADE | MEAT EXPORTS

Man. firm on Nov. 10 fertilizer deadline

Pork sector cheers deal with Honduras

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

The Manitoba government will not waive its Nov. 10 fertilizer application deadline, but it will consider individual requests for extensions.

“At this time we anticipate most producers will be finished in the fields, and the ground will likely be frozen by Nov. 10, so it is unlikely that a general extension of the deadline would be implemented,” a Conservation and Water Stewardship spokesperson said.

In October, farmers asked the government to postpone the deadline if the weather in November was suitable for fertilizer application.

This year’s delayed harvest shrunk the opportunity to apply fertilizer from weeks to days. As well, 1.4 million acres of soybeans and corn meant many growers were busy harvesting a crop in October.

“There’s a lot of corn acres still to be harvested and a lot of tillage work (to be done),” said Keystone Agricultural Producers president Doug Chorney.

In 2011, the province established Nov. 10 as the fall fertilizer deadline and April 10 as the first day that producers could apply nutrients. The Conservation and Water Stewardship spokesperson said the measures reduce the risk of nutrients flowing into Manitoba’s streams, riv-

“These rules are included in legislation that received all party support in recognition of the government’s efforts to protect and restore the health of Lake Winnipeg,” the spokesperson said.

Chorney said the deadlines are unnecessary because farmers aren’t going to apply nitrogen or phosphorus worth tens of thousands of dollars to frozen soil.

The spokesperson said there is flexibility in the regulation.

“We will monitor weather conditions and review individual requests for an extension of the deadline on a case by case basis.”

More access | Any federally certified Canadian plant will be able to export meat to the country

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Canadian trade minister Ed Fast signed a free trade deal with Honduras Nov. 5 that the pork industry says offers a potential $7 million a year in expanded exports.

Cesar Urias from Canada Pork International said the deal will re-store access that the industry had before

With 8% more yield than other inoculants, it makes a welcome addition to any operation.

Chances are if you grow peas or lentils you’re already using inoculants.

What you may not realize is they’re not all created equal. That’s why you should insist on Nodulator® XL. With the most active strain of rhizobia, it improves nitrogen fixation for increased root biomass and top growth. It all adds up to higher yield potential. So when you choose Nodulator XL, we suggest you think ahead to harvest time—and think big. To find out more, visit agsolutions.ca or contact AgSolutions® Customer Care at 1-877-371-BASF (2273).

2009, when sanitary regulations changed in Honduras to exclude Canadian products from plants not sanctioned by the new rules.

Agriculture minister Gerry Ritz also announced that Honduras agreed to recognize Canadian inspection and certification standards for meat export proposes.

“It was a market, but before 2009, just a few plants had been approved,” Urias said.

“With this agreement, any plant certified under federal standards in Canada can ship product to Honduras. It is a huge advantage.”

Sales potential in Honduras is small compared to the industry’s multibillion-dollar sales, but Canadian Pork Council president Jean-Guy Vincent praised the deal, saying it was possible because of high national standards for animal health and inspection.

“We are extremely fortunate to have excellent animal health status, a good supply of high quality feed grains, a very low animal population density and a strong reputation all over the world as a supplier of safe high quality pork,” Vincent said in a statement.

“Canada is a globally competitive and successful producer and exporter of pork and pork products.

The key factor to sustaining our success is the ability to access a wide variety of markets.”

An early government announcement had said the trade deal with Honduras would benefit pork and beef exporters, but John Masswohl, the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association’s director of government and international relations, said it doesn’t hold promise for the beef industry.

“We really gave it a pass,” he said.

“We congratulate the pork industry on more access.”

Vincent said the deal is part of a broader recovery plan for an industry that has been battered by years of low prices, farm losses and a contraction of the sector in the face of un-sustainable economics.

“Canada is already among the world’s top three pork exporters that exported to over 100 countries in 2012,” he said. “The Canadian government’s commitment to trade agreements is key to maintaining existing pork markets, and opening up new markets to pork is critical to the Canadian hog industry.”

CALVES FOR SALE

MUSICAL RIDE HORSES | LEASE OFFER

Try and buy musical ride horses Horse leasing program | Lessees have the opportunity to buy the horse when it retires

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Little can faze the horses that spend four months of every year performing a re-enactment of the North West Mounted Police musical ride at The Fort museum in Fort Macleod, Alta.

They’ve heard loud music, been surrounded by crowds, watched stray food wrappers blow in the wind and witnessed all manner of childish antics as they go about their touristattraction duties.

In fact, they’re practically bombproof, says Fort executive director Dawn Lauder.

They are also for lease this winter, as the Fort experiments with a program to keep the horses active during their musical ride hiatus. The 12 animals typically winter near the old barracks site at the town’s west end, where they tend to lose condition.

“That’s why we decided this lease would be a good option because at least that way they’re going to be used and exercised through the winter,” said Lauder.

“It’s healthier for the horses, and it’s also good for us.”

One horse has been leased so far and there have been three or four additional inquiries, Lauder said.

Lease conditions are simple. Applicants must sign a waiver and an agreement that they will supply insurance on the horse and cover all feed and care. The horse’s new location is inspected for suitability and safety before the lease is granted.

As well, the same bit and cinch type should be used on the horse to avoid confusion and ease transition.

“They’re 100 percent responsible for the horse, just like it was their own, for the period of the lease,” Lauder said.

“The horse is expected to return in the same condition it left in.”

In return, the lessees have free use

of the horse. And yes, they might get attached to it, but Lauder said that’s not a bad thing.

She wants to rotate the musical ride horses every four to six years, so the animals will have a useful life after their time in the public eye. “(Lessees) have an opportunity to try a horse out for a whole winter free of charge and then they can put their name in for purchasing the horse when we retire it, so it’s a really super opportunity if they’re in the market looking for a horse,” she said.

“In the meantime, they can lease (the horse) every winter until they

retire. It can be a really good deal if someone’s in the market for a good horse. So I hope that it works.”

Fort horses have another unique characteristic, besides their comfort with handling and regular performances.

They like music. In fact, they find it soothing.

“Usually it puts them to sleep, if you watch them out in the arena,” Lauder said. “Most of them are having a little nap. You watch them and their heads are all down and their eyes are half closed until they have to do something.”

Little impact from El Nino expected NEW YORK (Reuters) — The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration expects neutral El Nino weather conditions to persist in the Northern Hemisphere through spring.

In its monthly report, NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center said atmospheric and ocean conditions during October indicated El Nino was unlikely to cause extreme weather for the Northern Hemisphere through the spring.

Even so, the forecaster cautioned that weather conditions could become more extreme.

“Though confidence is highest for (conditions to be) neutral, there are growing probabilities for warm conditions” toward the spring and summer, the forecaster said.

The El Nino weather pattern is eyed with caution because it can lead to flooding in the United States and South America and trigger drought conditions in Southeast Asia and Australia.

Argentina’s big grain growers rent less land as profits drop Export regulations and taxes | Rising inflation and government policy are cutting into margins for agricultural commodities BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (Reuters) — Big farming companies are renting less land in Argentina because of lower profits caused by high inflation and government interventions, including a clampdown on dollar purchases.

Falling profits are hitting many of the large-scale growers who fueled Argentina’s soybean production boom over the last decade. Smallerscale farmers are now starting to work land that the big players have left behind.

“Land rental prices have stayed the same while other costs of production have risen,” said Rafael Llorente, a

major producer who last year planted 62,000 acres in the northeastern corner of the farming-intensive Buenos Aires province.

Llorente now expects to seed only 49,000 acres in the 2013-14 season, which starts this month.

Agriculture is the main pillar of the Argentine economy, but farmers have been at odds with president Cristina Fernandez’s government for years. They blame her for the sector’s problems because of state-centric policies, including strict export regulations and heavy taxes.

The government limits corn and wheat exports to ensure ample domes-

tic food supplies. As well, soybean shipments are taxed at 35 percent.

El Tejar Ltd., the world’s No. 1 grain producer with 1.7 million acres under cultivation in Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay and Bolivia, is cutting the amount of land it uses in Argentina. As well, local farm production company Los Grobo is focusing its expansion plans across the border in Brazil.

Problems facing the private sector in Argentina include inflation clocked by private estimates at 25 percent and tight foreign exchange controls that limit access to dollars.

Farmers pay for some of their

inputs at the black market exchange rate, but they get paid at the official interbank rate, which offers a nearly 70 percent discount per dollar.

“For the first time in many years, the agricultural margins of corn, soy, wheat and sun seeds are producing losses,” said Ernesto Ambrosetti, an economist at Sociedad Rural Argentina.

Added Marcelo Carrique, who cultivates 15,000 acres in Daireaux, in western Buenos Aires: “Some big players have been pulling back because it hasn’t been an easy year, and going for ward the picture doesn’t look good either.”

three main crops of soybeans, corn and wheat encompasses 74 million acres.

“Large producers have retreated and other people with a different model have come in their place,” Carrique said.

Smaller farmers are often more flexible than the cost-heavy frameworks of large pools that form to plant grain in Argentina’s vast Pampas farm belt.

“There’s been a lot of movement this year,” Carrique said.

“The business is really tight: costs keep rising, grains prices fall and that makes you rethink the business.”

The U.S. Department of Agriculture forecasts Argentina’s 2013-14 soybean crop at 53.5 million tonnes, the wheat harvest at 12 million tonnes and corn at 26 million tonnes.

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (Reuters) — Argentine farm groups are threatening a strike if the government does not show signs of modifying policies that soybean, wheat and corn growers say are killing their profits.

Argentine president Cristina Fernandez’s allies took a beating in midterm elections Nov.3, shrinking her majority in Congress, ending chances of a constitutional change to allow her a third term and kicking off the contest to succeed her in 2015.

Adding to the political uncertainty in Latin America’s third largest economy, Fernandez had surgery last month to remove blood that had pooled on the surface of her brain after falling and knocking her head.

The mid-term defeat could increase Fernandez’s vulnerability to a potential farm strike.

The grain sector has long objected to Fernandez’s interventionist policies, including export curbs on corn and wheat meant to ensure ample domestic food supplies, and foreign exchange controls that have put U.S. dollars out of reach for most businesses and savers who shun the weakening local peso.

“There is no time to wait. We need to deepen our actions and if conditions are right call a farm strike,” said Eduardo Buzzi, head of the Argentine Agrarian Federation.

Growers also say their profits are being reduced by the 35 percent tax that the government puts on soybean exports while inflation, clocked by private analysts at 25 percent, increases operating costs.

Buzzi’s federation, which represents small-scale growers, played a key role in the massive 2008 farm strike that shook the government of Fernandez, then in her first term.

Prompted by a farm tax increase decreed by the fledgling president, the 2008 protest brought Argentine grain production to a halt.

The country is the world’s largest exporter of soybean meal animal feed and soybean oil, used in the biofuel sector. Argentina is also the third biggest global supplier of soybeans and corn.

Ukraine looks to boost exports

Horse slaughter inspections blocked

KIEV, Ukraine (Reuters) — Ukraine hopes to export a record monthly volume of 3.5 million tonnes of grain in November, says agriculture minister Mykola Prysyazhnyuk.

“We put the figure of three million tonnes (in the plan for November), but we hope to export 3.5 million tonnes. That will be our monthly record,” Prysyazhnyuk said.

The country, which plans to harvest up to 60 million tonnes of grain in 2013, exported 3.42 million tonnes of grain in October.

Prysyazhnyuk also said that at least 15 million tonnes of grain were likely to be sold abroad in the first half of the 2013-14 season, which runs from July to June.

Ukraine had exported 10.02 million tonnes of grain as of Nov. 4.

Prysyazhnyuk said the ministry would encourage exports and saw no grounds to limit further sales.

“Our winter crops are in very good condition thanks to perfect weather,” he said.

“The harvest (of winter wheat in 2014) could exceed the previously expected 15 million tonnes.”

Prysyazhnyuk said last month that the wheat harvest could be down a third to 15 million tonnes next year from 22 million tonnes this year because of a reduced seeded area caused by heavy rain across most of the country.

Winter wheat accounts for more than 90 percent of Ukraine’s overall wheat output.

According to his data, farmers have completed winter wheat seeding for next year’s harvest with a loss of 990,000 acres.

“It is not a critical loss,” he said.

The ministry has said farms seeded a total of 15.3 million acres of winter wheat this year compared to 16.3 million acres a year earlier.

Analysts say that most of the crop was seeded with some delay, but good weather may help plants develop enough before the cold period.

“If the warm weather continues into November, the condition of winter crops will improve substantially before the end of the autumn growing season,” analyst UkrAgroConsult said.

“I’m trying to switch to low-fat milk.”

U.S. court ruling | Halt brought to inspections as appeal court considers permanent ban (Reuters) — A U.S. federal appeals court has granted an emergency request by animal protection groups to temporarily block the U.S. government from conducting inspections of horses destined for slaughter.

The 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver issued a temporary injunction barring the U.S. Department of Agriculture from providing horse meat inspection services to the Valley Meat Co. in New Mexico, Responsible Transportation in Iowa and Rains Natural Meats in Missouri.

The order comes after a U.S. district

judge in New Mexico threw out a lawsuit, that the Humane Society of the United States and other animal protection groups had filed in July, which sought to permanently halt the slaughter of horses.

The suit alleged that the USDA failed to carry out environmental reviews before it gave approval to the three companies to slaughter horses for human consumption.

The district judge had found that the grants of inspection were properly issued and dismissed the lawsuit, clearing the way for the equine

slaughter to resume.

However, in an emergency request to the 10th Circuit Nov. 4, the animal protection groups argued that an emergency injunction was necessary to prevent environmental harm and the violation of federal environmental laws while their appeal is pending.

A two-judge panel of the 10th Circuit granted the request.

Horse meat cannot be sold as food in the United States, but it can be exported. It is sold for human consumption in many countries and is sometimes used as feed for zoo animals.

Congress effectively banned horse slaughter in 2006 by saying the USDA could not spend money to inspect the plants.

Without USDA inspectors, slaughterhouses cannot operate. The ban had been extended a year at a time as part of USDA funding bills, but the language was omitted in 2011.

Groups have argued for years about whether a ban on slaughter would save horses from an inhumane death or cause owners to abandon animals they no longer want or cannot afford to feed and treat for illness.

Cargill to change beef labelling over ‘pink slime’ Finely textured beef | Last year’s controversy over beef product prompts company to cater to consumer concerns CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — Cargill says it will begin labelling when its finely textured beef is used in the making of U.S. ground beef products.

The move comes as consumers increasingly demand more transparency in how agribusiness companies make food and how these products are disclosed on the packaging.

The debate over food labelling has roiled for months since last year’s public and media furor over a rival beef product, which critics had dubbed “pink slime.” More recently, Washington state has debated

requiring labelling of genetically modified food.

Cargill’s finely textured beef is a processed meat product made from chunks of beef, including trimmings, and exposed to citric acid to kill E. coli and other dangerous contaminants.

The product, which Cargill has made since 1993, is used to produce higher -volume, less fatty ground beef.

Cargill said the new ground beef packaging, slated to debut early next year, came about after it surveyed more than 3,000 consumers over the past 18 months about their views on

ground beef and how it is made.

The survey arose after last year’s intense media coverage of Beef Products Inc., which makes a similar product called lean finely textured beef. BPI relies on a different technology than Cargill and uses ammonium hydroxide, rather than citric acid, as a processing agent to kill potential pathogens.

Cargill was able to escape some of the social media furor over “pink slime” because it uses citric acid, which the public generally perceived at the time as more palatable than the ammonium hydroxide used by BPI.

BPI’s business plummeted in the wake of the media coverage and subsequent public outcry over the product in the spring and early summer of 2012.

The company shuttered three plants and laid off hundreds of employees.

Cargill said it saw demand for its “finely textured beef” drop by 80 percent during that period. Though the business is slowly recovering, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture does not require such labelling, Cargill said consumers had made clear they wanted to know when such products were included in their ground beef.

“We’ve listened to the public, as well as our customers, and that is why today we are declaring our commitment to labelling finely textured beef,” said Cargill Beef president John Keating.

Cargill’s new packaging will state that a product contains finely textured beef on boxes of ground beef that retailers repackage for sale to the public, company officials said.

By next year’s grilling season, Cargill plans to have the same language printed on its branded packages of ground beef that are sold directly to consumers.

Anyway you pencil it out,

NexeraTM canola hybrids equal healthier profits.

In 2013, Nexera is expected to return over $115 million over and above the value of commodity canola. Since its launch, Nexera has returned over $426 million to Western Canadian growers – with more than half of that coming in the last three years.

“The higher returns are being driven by a number of factors,” says Kerry Freeman, Nexera Product Manager, Dow AgroSciences.

“Superior canola yields combined with the grower premiums and incentives associated with Nexera canola are increasing returns. Strong market demand by new and growing end-use customers for heart-healthy Omega-9 Oil is also a big factor.”

Freeman also points out that the heart-healthy Omega-9 Oil made from high-yielding Nexera canola is the new standard in today’s food industry. And the higher-value, end-use product translates into higher profits at the farm level.

Higher profitability starts with the proven performance of Nexera canola hybrids New Nexera canola hybrids increase the profitability equation, and the number of Nexera canola acres grown continues to increase year over year. The Nexera canola hybrid Roundup Ready® Series and Clearfield® Series each offer two high-performing hybrids that are changing canola. Their success is driven by a number of factors, including: • next-generation hybrid technology • industry-leading hybrid yields • early- and late-season hybrid vigour • excellent standability • superior disease resistance

Highest in grower satisfaction, too These new hybrids are ideal for growers in the mid and long-season zones who are looking for hybrid yields and higher profit. They offer yield potential equivalent to any competitive canola hybrid, and result in profitability that’s higher than other canola brands. In fact, Nexera RR Hybrids rank highest in grower satisfaction, according to Canola Evaluation and Intentions, Canada, 2012, Stratus Agri-Marketing, Inc. The option of the Roundup Ready or Clearfield weed control system allows Nexera canola growers to choose the system that works best for them. Either way, growers get the advantages of convenience, flexibility and superior weed control from a production system designed to help them make the most of the Nexera canola profit opportunity.

Ethanol plants reopen in U.S. as corn harvest hits record size Some plants had been closed for five years CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — Closed U.S. ethanol plants are now coming back online as a record U.S. harvest p u s h e s d ow n c o r n p r i c e s a n d improves biofuel profit margins.

Cargill Inc. has restarted a plant in Fort Dodge, Iowa, that it bought in 2011 from corn processor Tate & Lyle.

The announcement came as Noble Group Ltd. said it will soon restart an Indiana ethanol plant that was shut for a year, while another facility that was idled for five years in Ohio came back online last month.

U.S. farmers are harvesting a corn crop expected to reach a record 14 billion bushels. The big harvest is replenishing stockpiles diminished by 2012’s blistering drought and pressuring benchmark Chicago Board of Trade corn futures to their lowest levels in three years.

Ethanol margins are the highest since late 2009, the last year of a record corn harvest.

Cargill, a top U.S. ethanol producer, will eventually produce 115 million gallons a year at the Fort Dodge plant.

“When full production capacity is reached, the plant will consume 150,000 bushels of corn a day and turn out five products, including dextrose, ethanol and SweetBran feed for cattle,” said plant manager Al Viaene.

Cargill also produces ethanol at plants in Blair, Nebraska, and Eddyville, Iowa.

Noble Group was revamping a plant in South Bend, Indiana, with an annual capacity of 100 million gallons. It should restart early in 2014.

Liquidators bought the facility at auction in January for $2.5 million and then sold it in July to Noble Americas, a subsidiary of the Hong Kong-based Noble Group.

“They want to get going as fast as possible. They are planning for the first quarter, certainly by the end of March,” said Chris Fielding, director of business development for the City of South Bend.

Norbertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Manufacturing Celebrating 25 Years They say â&#x20AC;&#x153;necessity is the mother of invention.â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how it was for Norbert Vanwynsberghe, original owner of Norbertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Manufacturing Ltd., which is located 10 miles west of Glenboro, Manitoba on Highway #2. Back in the days when Norbert was a struggling farmer in the late 1980s, he needed a trailer to transport cattle. He had some welding experience and a vision of what it might look like. He approached a farmer who was also in need of a stock trailer, and after a few hard working nights, with plans and materials in hand, the first ever Norbertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unibody trailer was built.

Norbert didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know it at the time, but this would be the beginning of a new and exciting career that would have a far-reaching impact on the world of trailer manufacturing.

Fast forward to 2013, and Norbertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Manufacturing is celebrating over 25 years in business, with an impressive lineup of products that showcase Norbertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ingenuity and design skills â&#x20AC;&#x201C; every kind of trailer you can imagine, from stock, horse, flat deck, utility, recreation, triple stage and dump trailers to specialty items for the oil industry.

The company builds the strongest trailers in the industry, with more attention to detail, wiring, painting and finishing, using only the finest products. Norbertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is also known for building custom trailers to fit its customersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; needs.

LEFT: The first

trailer Norbertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s built, sits as a monument to lasting quality.

Í&#x17E;ÍĄ

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s products are often called the Cadillac of all trailers.

Norbertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trailers are famous for their formed walls, which alleviate the need for a structural frame underneath. This leaves the inside clean and obstruction free, giving access to easier cleaning with no spots to trap debris or for rust to form. Some modifications have been made over the years to accommodate the various types of trailers, but the main concept is still a reflection of Norbertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original design. The company realizes the needs of each customer are different, so the majority of trailers sold are custom tailored, with several options including D-rings, toolboxes, sliding and weld-on ratchets, two speed jacks, bale extensions, custom paint, and more. The flat decks come standard with sealed wiring harness, Douglas fir flooring, and flooring in gooseneck and automotive finish.

The companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s product line doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t end with trailers. Norbertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also builds double tilt snowmobile trailers, landscapers and mini utility ATV carts in its recreation line. The company has manufactured â&#x20AC;&#x153;offices on wheelsâ&#x20AC;? for the oil patch and refuge chambers for miners. In fact, if you have an idea and canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find someone to manufacturer it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; come to Norbertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Manufacturing, where a staff of close to 30 employees will take your idea from paper to finished product. An extensive parts and service department rounds out the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offerings, along with a dealer network that stretches across Western Canada.

Are Norbertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s products built to last? You better believe it! Just drop by their manufacturing site to see that first trailer ever built by the company. It had been used for 21 years by that local farmer who first helped Norbert. The trailer was sold back to Norbertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Manufacturing six years ago â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and is still in great shape! It is a visual reminder of how one personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision and need turned into a long-lasting and prosperous business.

Management and staff of Norbertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Manufacturing would like to thank all their customers and suppliers who have helped make it all happen! Your support and encouragement have helped make Norbertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the successful business it is today.

GLENMOR INTRODUCES

the JOKER

HIGH - SPEED VERSATILE TILLAGE

Glenmor introduces the Joker from Horsch Anderson.

The Joker tillage system is versatile and able to handle any type of crop residue in wet, dry, rocky, or extremely saturated soils. No other tillage system gives you the speed, durability, moisture conservation and finishing capabilities that the Joker does.

No matter what cropping conditions are dealt, you will never be outmatched with a Joker in your hand.

HORSCH ANDERSON Farming with Passion

TRADE | COMPREHENSIVE ECONOMIC AND TRADE AGREEMENT

Tough talks still ahead for Canada-EU trade deal Agricultural exporters pleased | All parties concede that Canada will need to make major changes to capitalize on deal STORIES BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Agricultural exporters were on Parliament Hill last week to sing the praises of the Canada-European Union trade deal, even though significant questions remain about when benefits will be realized and at what cost.

Witnesses before the House of Commons agriculture committee, while enthusiastic, also conceded that several years of technical negotiations and significant changes by Canadian producers and meat packing plants will be required to meet the standards that Europe sets for packing plants and hormone-free animal production if the potential is to be realized.

Jim Laws of the Canadian Meat Council argued that Ottawa should create a five-year $10 million program to help packing plants gear up to meet EU standards.

John Masswohl, director of government and international relations for the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association, told MPs that 500,000 Canadian cattle would be needed to meet the potential European market.

However, producers must be willing to segregate part of their herd to be hormone and growth promotantfree to meet European conditions.

“I guess the main thing we still need to find out is when,” he told MPs. The earliest likely implementation date is 2016, so when do producers begin to raise calves hormone-free and document it for proof in the European market?

“We look at it in terms of most of the calves in Canada are born in February, March so right now producers are going to wonder, will I start documenting those cattle that are born this winter or early next spring?” said Masswohl. “That’s for individual producers to decide.”

The deal announced several weeks ago by Canada and the EU could lead to $1.5 billion in increased farm and food product exports to Europe, Canadian Agri-Food Trade alliance executive director Kathleen Sullivan told MPs Nov. 5.

“Through the CETA (Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement), Canada has confirmed its support for farmers and for food processors, and Canada has let the world know that we are serious about trade,” she said.

Meat and cattle officials projected hundreds of millions of dollars worth of increased trade and argued that getting a trade deal before the United

We look at it in terms of most of the calves in Canada are born in February, March so right now producers are going to wonder, will I start documenting those cattle that are born this winter or early next spring?

JOHN MASSWOHL CANADIAN CATTLEMEN’S ASSOCIATION

States gives Canadian exporters a significant advantage.

Masswohlexpects gains from the European trade deal will offset damages being caused by American country-of-origin labelling.

“It is curious that the negative impact of COOL of $640 million per year to the beef sector and about $500 million to the pork sector is roughly around the same numbers that we’re talking about in the benefit from (the European deal),” he said.

Grain Growers of Canada board

member Franck Groeneweg said CETA will eliminate tariffs of up to $190 per tonne on wheat, $114 per tonne of oats and up to $120 per tonne of barley and rye over seven years after implementation.

“These tariffs are huge and they are about to disappear,” he said.

“Down the road, CETA will lock in permanent duty-free access. This trade deal is coinciding with new marketing changes for wheat and barley in Western Canada. It is easy to see that huge changes are on the horizon.”

TRADE | VALUE OF EXPORTS

Export claims disputed Agricultural trade promoters regularly claim that Canadian agriculture overwhelmingly depends on exports.

Last week was no different, when the Canadian Agri-Food Trade Alliance claimed in a brief to the House of Commons agriculture committee studying a trade deal with the European Union that “nine out of every 10 farms in Canada depend on exports.”

Liberal agriculture critic Mark Eyking, a vegetable farmer from Cape Breton, N.S., was skeptical.

“I don’t know where that number came from, I find it hard to believe,” he told CAFTA executive director Kathleen Sullivan Nov. 5.

Sullivan said it is based on a George

Morris Centre report from years ago.

The study concluded that 50 percent of all Canadian farm production is exported, and many products sold in Canada are priced on world market prices.

“We have a lot of products that we sell domestically, but our farmers are still price-takers and the price is based on world markets,” she said. ”Even if we are growing our product domestically and selling it domestically, we still have to pay a lot of attention to what goes on around the world because it has a significant impact on us.”

Eyking said the explanation does not justify the claim that 90 percent of Canadian farms depend on exports.

WHEAT | PROSPECTS IMPROVING

Black Sea wheat crop outlook brighter as weather helps seeding conditions improve MOS COW/KIEV (Reuters) — Warmer and drier than normal autumn weather has speeded up w i n t e r s e e d i n g i n Ru s s i a a n d Ukraine, improving the outlook for next year’s wheat harvest in the Black Sea region.

Russia and Ukraine, major global wheat exporters via the Black Sea, are still planting less area to winter wheat than normal this year because

recent favourable weather has not fully offset the earlier delay caused by rain.

However, the loss in acreage is likely to be more modest than initially expected in Russia and would be insignificant in Ukraine.

Ukrainian farms have finished seeding winter wheat for the 2014 harvest: 15.32 million areas compared to 16.31 million acres a year earlier.

Ukraine originally planned to seed 17.3 million acres for winter wheat this year but later reduced it to 16.31 million acres.

“Our winter crops are in very good condition, thanks to perfect weather,” said Ukrainian agriculture minister Mykola Prysyazhnyuk.

“The harvest (of winter wheat in 2014) could exceed the previously expected 15 million tonnes.”

He described the loss in acreage as “not critical.”

He had previously expected the wheat harvest to be down to 15 million tonnes next year from 22 million tonnes this year.

Winter wheat accounts for more than 90 percent of Ukraine’s overall wheat output.

In Russia, winter grain for the 2014 crop was sown on 35.1 million acres,

or 87.3 percent of the planned area as of Nov. 6, compared with 38.55 million acres a year earlier, according to the latest ministry data.

The country has seeded larger areas with winter grain than the ministry estimated. Its most recent forecast stood at 34.6 million acres compared to 40.53 million acres originally planned and down from a total 39.79 million acres last year.

GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS | PROBLEM WORSENS

Global greenhouse gases continue to rise, warns WMO Action needed | The level of carbon dioxide grew faster in 2012 than in the past decade and human activity is likely to blame, says climate agency GENEVA, Switzerland (Reuters) — Atmospheric volumes of greenhouse gases blamed for climate change hit a new record in 2012, says the World Meteorological Organization.

“For all these major greenhouse gases, the concentrations are reaching once again record levels,” said WMO secretary-general Michel Jarraud.

Jarraud said the accelerating trend was driving climate change, making it harder to keep global warming to within 2 C, a target agreed at a Copenhagen summit in 2009.

“This year is worse than last year,

2011; 2011 was worse than 2010,” he said. “Every passing year makes the situation somewhat more difficult to handle, it makes it more challenging to stay under this symbolic two degree global average.”

Greenhouse gas emissions are set to be eight to 12 billion tonnes higher in 2020 than the level needed to keep global warming below two degrees, the United Nations’ Environment Programme said.

If the world pursues its “business as usual” trajectory, it will probably hit the two degree mark in the middle of the century, Jarraud said, noting that

this would also affect the water cycle, sea levels and extreme weather events.

“The more we wait for action, the more difficult it will be to stay under this limit and the more the impact will be for many countries, and therefore the more difficult it will be to adapt.”

He said the climate system was dominated by the ocean rather than the atmosphere, and the time needed to warm the seas meant the full impact of current emissions would be felt only later.

“Even if we were able to stop today

— we know it’s not possible — the ocean would continue to warm and to expand and the sea level would continue to rise for hundreds of years.”

The WMO bulletin said the volume of carbon dioxide, the primar y greenhouse gas emitted by human activities, grew faster in 2012 than in the previous decade, reaching 393.1 parts per million, which is 41 percent above the pre-industrial level.

The amount of the gas in the atmosphere grew by 2.2 p.p.m., higher the average of 2.02 p.p.m. over the past 10 years.

Carbon dioxide is stable and is likely to remain in the atmosphere for a long time, Jarraud said. The concentrations were the highest for more than 800,000 years, he added.

“The increase in CO2 is mostly due to human activities,” Jarraud said.

“The actions we take now or don’t take now will have consequences for a very, very long period.”

Methane, the second major contributor, continued to grow at a similar rate to the last four years, reaching a global average of 1,819 parts per billion in 2012 and nitrous oxide reached 325.1 p.p.b.

SAO PAULO, Brazil (Reuters) — Brazil will likely harvest a record soybean crop in 2013-14 if the climate remains favourable, but high costs could chip away at farmers’ profits.

Glauber Silveira, head of the national soy co-operative, believes that the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s 88 million tonne forecast is slightly exaggerated.

He said Brazil’s crop may be closer to 86 million tonnes, which would still be a record.

Brazil is planting its largest area ever with soybeans, but Silveira said many of the new fields are old cattle pastures that take a few years and lots of investment to return to shape “The crops look very good, but they were planted quite early, which can affect productivity a bit,” Silveira said.

“They also run a big risk at harvest, if it’s a rainy year.”

Rain is vital when soybean plants are developing but can hurt quality when crops are mature. Brazil’s soybean crop is 50 percent planted, outpacing last year and the five-year average.

However, production costs rose sharply in 2013-14 from a year earlier, when soy prices rose to record highs after drought hurt production in the United States.

Soy rose to $18 per bushel in 2012 compared with the current $12.60 per bu. in Chicago.

“It’s always the same problem,” Silveira said.

“The price of soy rises and companies raise prices of inputs.... Then soy prices fall and costs remain the same.”

A stronger dollar against the Brazilian real has also made imported seeds, fertilizers and pesticides more expensive, although it will likely favour exports of Brazilian crops.

Freight costs have also risen.

“The total costs are an average ($423 per acre),” he said.

“With soy at ($20) per sack, we need (20.7) sacks (per acre) to break even; (20) bags per (acre) is a loss.”

AGRIBUSINESS | TAKEOVER BIDS

Science lures suitors of Aussie cheese maker High-tech milk extracts | Food companies, including Saputo from Canada, are interested in the dairy manufacturer SYDNEY, Australia (Reuters) — Food companies stalking Australia’s Warrnambool Cheese and Butter Factory Company Holdings Ltd. are lured by the firm’s high-tech milk extracts as much as its dairy produce.

The extracts are a core element in health-promoting products from premium infant formula to bone supplements. The extracts are poised for big growth as Asia becomes more affluent and diets change.

With the nutraceuticals market in the Asia-Pacific expected to be worth $80 billion by 2017, Warrnambool is sitting pretty. It is one of just two producers of the extracts in the only country in the region with the scale of spare milk capacity required to produce them.

Extracting just one kilogram of lactoferrin, a nutraceutical used in premium infant formula, takes up to 100,000 litres of regular milk.

“Critically, most of the countries responsible for the surging demand in Asia can’t produce milk themselves,” said Michael Harvey, dairy analyst at Rabobank. “They need countries like Australia that have a surplus of milk to export.”

Australia has been producing milk below capacity for years following soaring feed costs and a supermarket price war that pushed farmgate prices to record lows. The country has the capacity to add around two

billion litres to the nine billion litres of milk it currently produces each year, exporting about half.

For its part, Warrnambool has almost completed construction of a $14 million Aus plant to make lactoferrin. The only other producer of the nutraceutical in Australia is major shareholder Bega Cheese Ltd. — the company that started the bid war for Warrnambool.

Previously little known outside its home base, the 125-year-old company has attracted three takeover offers from Bega, fellow shareholder

Murray Goulburn Co-operative Co. Ltd. and Canada’s Saputo Inc. since September. Saputo’s bid is the highest at $449 million.

Warrnambool’s market value has nearly doubled to around $470 million as investors snapped up shares.

Those buyers include Fonterra, the world’s largest dairy exporter, and Japanese drinks maker Kirin Holdings Co. Ltd. The duo has bought stakes in Bega and Warrnambool, respectively, and are hovering with intent to influence consolidation.

The global market for nutraceuti-

cals is expected to grow to $205 billion by 2017 from $142 billion in 2011, according to U.S.-based market intelligence agency Transparency Market Research.

The Asia-Pacific region is expected to account for 39 percent of the global market by 2017, or about $80 billion, making it the second-largest market after North America.

Lactoferrin illustrates the appeal of nutraceuticals, which fall short of pharmaceuticals but have demonstrated physiological benefits, providing protection against chronic

diseases such as cardiovascular illnesses. Dubbed “white gold” by Australia’s media, it fetches $1,000 per kg because of the vast quantities of milk used to make it.

Warrnambool, which relies on exports of traditional dairy produce for most of its A$500 million in annual sales, said it had signed its first deal to supply lactoferrin in Asia.

The three-year sales agreement with Taiwanese marketing and distribution firm Toong Yeuan Enterprise Co. Ltd. for lactoferrin in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan is worth $24 million.

NEONICOTINOIDS | LEGAL FIGHT

BASF challenges European Union insecticide ban FRANKFURT (Reuters) —BASF has launched a legal challenge against the European Commission’s ban on its insecticide fipronil, imposed in July over concerns that its use as a seed treatment is linked to declining bee populations.

BASF has filed legal action with the General Court of the European Union because “valid scientific studies and evidence were not properly taken into account,” BASF said.

In July, the European Union added fipronil to its blacklist of substances suspected of playing a role in declining bee populations.

The ban follows similar EU curbs imposed in April on three of the world’s most widely-used pesticides, known as neonicotinoids, and reflects growing concern in Europe over a recent plunge in the population of honeybees critical to crop pollination and production.

SWINE DISEASE | EFFECTS

Pig virus squeezes meat firm’s profits; may lead to meat shortage PEDv often fatal | The incurable disease may result in fewer slaughter-ready hogs when demand peaks in spring, sending prices even higher CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — Hillshire Brands Co. says the number of cases of a virus deadly to baby piglets is growing, and it is increasing meat prices to combat rising commodity costs tied to the disease.

The manufacturer of Jimmy Dean sausages and Ball Park hot dogs was one of the first companies to state publicly that the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDv) was hurting its bottom line.

Hillshire’s net sales increased one percent to $984 million, but operating income declined by 35 percent, pressuring margins.

“As we’ve moved into the second

quarter, we’ve begun to take additional pricing actions,” Hillshire president Sean Connolly said.

Sales volumes could decline as consumers adapt to higher prices at the grocery store, he added.

Analysts will be watching for signs of PEDv when other major meat companies report earnings later this month.

Archer Daniels Midland Co. recently said the disease had not had a significant impact on demand for soy meal, a widely used feed in hog diets.

Hillshire’s fiscal quarter that ended Sept. 28 would be the first to take into account the PEDv disease, which was

discovered in the U.S. hog herd in May and thought to affect hundreds of thousands of the 68 million hog herd. It typically takes hogs about six months to reach slaughter weights.

The incurable disease causes diarrhea, vomiting and dehydration in hogs, killing as many as 80 percent of piglets that contract it. The disease not does affect humans and is not a food safety concern.

Maria Henry, Hillshire’s chief financial officer, said in a conference call with analysts that the number of instances of PEDv was increasing, driving up prices for hogs.

“We are heavily affected with what’s

going on there,” she said. “We had a spike early, and then the number of reported cases was coming down.

Now the number of reported cases is going back up. That’s wreaked a bit of havoc on that piece of the market, particularly around pork and sows.”

Benchmark lean hog futures shot to nearly two-year highs at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange after the outbreak.

Prices for live sows are up 27 percent from a year ago, while wholesale prices for hams hit $89.30 per hundredweight Nov. 1, just below the record high levels seen in 2008, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture data.

Pork prices typically decline early in the autumn as the arrival of mild temperatures and freshly harvested corn and soybeans speed weight gain in the animals, creating more supply.

The worst may be yet to come. Animals contracting the disease in the autumn may not be available in the spring when demand hits its yearly peak before summer grilling season.

“We will see the most significant impact in the spring,” said Dan Norcini, an independent livestock trader.

“You are going to see a reduction in the number of slaughter-ready hogs in the time frame pork demand begins to increase.”

Australian gov’t takes issue with GrainCorp sale SYDNEY (Reuters) — Competition concerns about Archer Daniel Midland Co.’s $2.9 billion takeover of GrainCorp should be addressed by regulation, the Australian company said as political tensions over the deal resurfaced.

Australian treasurer Joe Hockey last month extended the time period for a foreign investment decision on the bid, which is unpopular with the new coalition government’s junior partner, the rural-based National Party.

Now he has criticized speculation about the impending decision, due

by Dec. 17, and public comment from coalition politicians who oppose the deal.

“I will not be bullied or intimated by anyone when it comes to making decisions on the national interest,” he said.

Hockey and prime minister Tony Abbott have declared Australia to be open for business since the coalition won power in September, and the bid has been widely expected to be approved.

“I believe we have a tremendous opportunity in the Australian agricultural sector, and attracting investment is a really, really important part of that,” said Alison Watkins, managing director and chief executive officer of GrainCorp said Nov. 7.

“If we turn our backs on it, it is like turning a tap off a garden that is just about to bloom, to stunt something instead of getting something beautiful.”

Opponents of the GrainCorp takeover have cited concerns over selling national assets to foreign companies and decreased competition as reasons to reject the deal.

“I don’t believe the facts substantiate any concerns over a lack of competition, but those can be addressed through regulation,” Watkins said.

Australian authorities reject only a handful of foreign investment deals each year, and ADM’s bid for GrainCorp is far from the first foreign deal in the agriculture sector.

The sector has seen a surge in merger and acquisition interest in recent weeks, most notably in the dairy industry where Australia’s Warrnambool Cheese and Butter Factory Company Holdings Ltd. has attracted three full takeover offers.

GENETICALLY MODIFIED WHEAT | INDUSTRY ACCEPTANCE

Canadian grain sector view on GM wheat unclear U.S. wheat industry supports research | Farmers, exporters and millers support biotech firms looking to improve wheat traits

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

The U.S. National Association of Wheat Growers knows precisely where it stands when it comes to genetically modified wheat.

NAWG, which represents 22 state wheat associations and thousands of growers across the United States, supports GM wheat and is encouraging biotech companies to pursue novel GM traits that will benefit the wheat industry.

“While biotech wheat is not currently available to farmers, NAWG, USW (U.S. Wheat Associates) and the wheat farmers who lead them support innovation, research and the responsible introduction of new wheat varieties, including biotech wheat,” NAWG leaders noted in an October statement.

In contrast, there is no consensus or clear position on GM wheat in Canada, said Neil Townsend, CWB’s director of market research.

The industry’s stance remains nebulous in the short period since the CWB monopoly ended, Townsend said.

“It’s probably still evolving. In the old days, the stated position of the Canadian Wheat Board was we didn’t really dialogue on the science of it, we dialogued on the consumer

For the time being, you can’t find one person who is going to state definitely how they feel about it.

NEIL TOWNSEND CWB DIRECTOR OF MARKET RESEARCH

acceptance of it,” he said during a break at the Cereals North America conference in Winnipeg in early November.

“For the time being, you can’t find one person who is going to state definitely how they feel about it.”

Canadian wheat growers and grain dealers may need to take a stance sooner rather than later on this matter because biotech firms are spending millions of dollars to develop GM wheat traits, such as higher yields, drought resistance and disease resistance.

The NAWG website provides a comprehensive list of the GM wheat projects and partnerships now underway between biotech companies and numerous public institutions. The document is five pages long and provides details on what Syngenta, Monsanto, Bayer, DuPont and Dow are working on.

“The reason for it is that wheat is one of the largest acreage croplands

that has yet to have that technology,” said Bill Wilson, a North Dakota State University agriculture economics professor.

“Secondly, they (biotech firms) observed a very significant agropolitical shift … where end users wanted to find ways to make wheat more competitive.”

Steve Mercer, vice-president of communications for the U.S. Wheat Associates, a market development and export agency, said U.S. wheat farmers, exporters and millers played a significant role in the resurgence of GM wheat research.

The work went dormant for several years after Monsanto abandoned its Roundup Ready wheat plans in 2004 because of wheat farmer and exporter concerns about public acceptance.

However, NAWG, USW, the North American Millers Association and the American Baking Association realized in the late 2000s that they

had to do something to regain wheat acres lost to corn and soybeans.

Meetings between the organizations led to a joint position on GM wheat and the formation of the Wheat Innovation Alliance, which is committed to the commercial introduction of biotech wheat.

“U.S. wheat growers have been engaged in this for several years already,” Mercer said.

“I don’t think it would’ve happened without the (wheat) industry saying we need to look at biotechnology.”

With the exception of the Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association, few grains industry players in Canada have taken a stance on biotechnology. The association’s website says farmers should be “free to decide whether or not genetically modified crops suit their own farming operations.”

For instance, Grain Farmers of Ontario doesn’t have a position on GM wheat, but it has told biotech firms that it doesn’t want glyphosate tolerant wheat.

“We’ve been pretty direct and consistent with our message to the biotech industry, that herbicide tolerance is not our No. 1 need in wheat,” said John Cowan, vice-president of strategic development.

Cowan said a GM trait to combat disease, primarily fusarium head

blight, would be much more useful for Ontario wheat growers.

Townsend said it’s unclear how Canada’s position on GM wheat will develop now that Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba have formed or are forming provincial wheat and cereal commissions.

“The Canadian system … is trying to find and sort out who is going to do what ….” he said. “There’s no clearcut leader in that right now. There’s a lot of contenders for it, there are a lot of newbies in there and we’re going to see how that all unfolds.”

Speaking for himself rather than CWB, Townsend said GM wheat is probably inevitable. Nevertheless, there are no guarantees that GM traits will convince farmers to grow more wheat.

He said growers dislike the quality risk associated with wheat because they can lose a couple dollars per bushel if it’s downgraded to feed.

“I think wheat is really going to struggle for acreage.… Even with the GM varieties the quality risk for wheat is always going to be there,” he said.

“I think people who have experienced corn and soybeans … they’re not going to swing back …. The things that are going to get them off it aren’t the attributes of something else. It would be detrimental prices.”

CANOLA | PLANTERS

Canadian air drill vs. German planter And the winner is … | The canola-corn planter trend continues to gain momentum, but is it as efficient as an air drill?

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

Canola growers who seed with a corn planter say it isn’t necessarily just about yield.

“There are other benefits to consider,” said Stephen Petluk, who used a Seed Hawk air drill and a Monosem corn planter this year to seed more than 4,000 acres of canola near Lethbridge.

Petluk compared the seeders on two similar fields, located 1 1/2 kilometres apart but with the same soil type.

“It’s not what I’d call a scientifically perfect comparison,” he said.

“The Seed Hawk has precision fertilizer placement and it was seeded one week earlier than the Monosem test field. The Monosem has no provision for fertilizer.”

He said canola fields planted with the Monosem planter looked better than those seeded with the air drill.

The specific Monosem test field that matched up with the Seed Hawk test field looked perfect.

His first big surprise came when the combines hit the fields.

“On the test fields, the Seed Hawk field yielded exactly the same as the Monosem field. There was exactly zero yield benefit with the Monosem.

The air drill and corn planter test

fields both averaged 40 bushels,” he said.

“The planter field had looked so much better all summer. But then I have to consider that the Monosem field was planted one week later, yet it was ready to swath at the same time the Seed Hawk field was ready. So it shortened the season by a week.

“The other benefit was two pounds of seed per acre through the Monosem versus four lb. per acre through the Seed Hawk. Half the amount of seed gave me the same yield per acre.”

Petluk said these benefits occurred across his entire farm. He surmised that fields seeded with the planter

had fewer plants, and therefore more space per plant, heavier stalks, bigger root systems and healthier plants.

“The germination rate through the Monosem was basically 100 percent,” he said.

“Every seed we put in the ground came up. We didn’t bounce the seed through 40 feet of air seeder hose to break up the seeds. And we never saw four plants in a cluster, three of which were weeds. Seed Hawk germination was 60 percent, if that, in some fields.”

Petluk spent $20 per acre to spray Proline on all his canola this year, doing the application with his high clearance sprayer and making sure he left check strips. Again, he was

surprised.

“Proline made exactly no difference at all in the fields I seeded with the Monosem,” he said.

“The check strips yielded the same as the sprayed strips. The crop was healthy enough that it didn’t need fungicide. I wasted my time and money. Proline made a big difference in the fields seeded with the Seed Hawk. There was about a 20 percent yield boost compared to the check strips. The air drill fields had disease pressure, which the planter fields did not have.”

The opportunity to skip a fungicide CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

»

PRODUCTION application also has major implications in breaking disease cycles. Petluk said he wants to push the concept to see how far it can go.

“Now that I’ve seen what we can do with half the conventional seed rate, I want to run some plant population trials next year,” he said.

“I think we can cut the rate in half again and get down to one pound per acre. We’ll see.”

Petluk conceded that he can’t do a single pass seed and fertilizer operation with existing Monosem planter technology. The Seed Hawk has a definite advantage with its ability to precisely place all seed and fertilizer in a single pass.

It was Petluk’s first year with the 40 foot Monosem, set up with 32 row units on 15 inch row centres. He knows fertilizer is going to be a challenge, but he thinks the technology will eventually be available to deal with it. Until then, he plans to continue with both the air drill and the corn planter.

“The main thing I’m not happy about with my Seed Hawk is the onrow packing,” he said.

“It’s not good for any small light weight seeds, and it creates even more crusting problems in our clay soils. The Monosem uses firming wheels instead of actual packers. I think that’s better.”

Petluk broadcast all his fertilizer on the fields where he would be using the planter and ran over it with a Smart Till vertical till machine. Then, just before planting, he got lucky with Mother Nature and received a heavy rain to wash the fertilizer down into the root zone.

“More and more zero till farmers on heavy clay are finding their soil has a chemical imbalance,” he said.

“After some years, that clay starts to turn to concrete so no oxygen gets down to the roots. We use the Smart Till with spikes to break up the solid clay and aerate the soil. It leaves some moisture in the soil, and it lets the oxygen and water and fertilizer to get down into the root zone.”

Next year Petluk plans to install a banding system that is compatible with his Monosem. It will turn the machine into an all-in-one singlepass planter.

“I’m adding an Exactrix cart system that has both liquid and ammonia in a very narrow band, just one inch off the centre of the seed disc,” he said.

“When you combine ammonia and liquid, the mixture is less toxic to the plants and more plant-available. I’m also modifying the planter to turn it into a 70 foot machine by adding more Monosem row units. We’ll do all that work ourselves.”

Petluk said he will use only Monosem row units because the components are all stainless steel and fully grounded to reduce static electricity.

“Stay away from plastic parts and plastic discs in the metering mechanism,” he said.

“Plastic creates static electricity and that’s one thing you can’t tolerate with light weight seeds like canola. It’s a nightmare.”

Petluk was low on hydraulic power this year, so he could operate at only 4.5 m.p.h with the 40 foot planter.

“Instead of hydraulic drive, I’m going back to mechanical drive,” he said.

“We should be able to do 5.5 m.p.h next year and that will bring us up to 400 to 500 acres per day.”

Petluk said he has been averaging 4,000 to 5,000 acres of canola per year lately, but he expects more acres next year because of wheat midge.

NEW PRODUCT | GRAIN TESTER

Deere delivers new portable grain tester

BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A new, lower cost, portable grain tester has arrived on the market.

Barry Deiters of Deere said the GT-30300 is accurate from five to 45 percent moisture and will deliver test weights to within half a pound per bushel.

The new unit delivers accurate temperature readings from 5 to 45 C and provides details like that through a backlit LCD display on the machine.

Dieters said the unit will hold more than 40 grain calibrations in its memory and will average the analysis from three, six or nine samples to ensure accuracy.

It will export data and import software updates through a USB port.

The GT-30300 will compete with the Mini-GAC Plus, a cup type unit that Dickey-john released in 2008. The unit won international awards for its engineering and praise from farmers for its utility and accuracy. One of its most popular features was eliminating the need for the weighing of the samples before testing.

Its twin, the Ag-Mac Plus, is a product of Ohio based Agratronix, as is the GT-30300.

Many farms have elevator-type testers, which is important since those former 10 kilometre trips to the elevator might now be 100 km.

Combines come with on-board mois-

ture testing, but producers are often loath to trust their storage decisions entirely to the combine’s read-out. As well, on-site field testers become fairly attractive when it comes to grain drying and turning grain in the bin yard.

Small screw-type, whole grain testers also have their limitations, and there is a tendency for oilseeds to gum up the cap. As well, small sample sizes and temperature extremes can be a problem for these pocket-sized units.

Pricing for the Deere unit hasn’t been announced, the Agratronix sells for about $350 and the Dickeyjohn machine sells for about $550.

Tapping money from the mix Total manure agitation | Uniform nutrient distribution maximizes returns

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

Ben Puck says farmers should think of manure as an asset and look at ways to improve the nutrient value to increase sales. | RON LYSENG PHOTO

GUELPH, Ont. — A young man’s dream of taking over the family farm doesn’t always pan out as planned.

Sometimes it turns to crap.

That’s what happened to Iowa farm boy Ben Puck, who had aspirations of taking over the family farm after graduating from high school in 1977.

“I thought I’d take off to college for four years to get some kind of a degree in agriculture, then come

back and take over the farm from Dad,” he said.

“But Dad had other ideas. He said the farm would be sold long before my four years were up. No way he was going to keep farming another four years just so I could come back to take it over. He was quite clear about that.”

All of which put the younger Puck in a tight position. He needed cash flow if he had any hope of buying out his father, and he needed the cash to come quick.

Puck saw that the dairy, hog and beef sectors in his area were expand-

ing rapidly, but manure removal and pollution were becoming major problems.

The opportunity was there for offfarm income and Puck seized it, buying a single-axle, 1,500 gallon pump truck. He worked long hours during the spring and fall slurry spread seasons to keep up with the increasing demand for his services.

All this while working the farm he had bought from his father.

“Farmers just didn’t foresee the problem they were creating with all that manure,” he said.

“So we moved in to do what we could. We worked 18 hour days, but we did fantastic. Basically, the industry was a baby yet to walk. The technology was very primitive.”

That primitive state gave Puck a clear road to become a North American leader in developing equipment and systems to improve the way livestock producers manage manure and nutrients.

From a strictly technological point of view, farmers need better mixing and better agitation to extract full value from the liquid.

@PioneerWCanada

Over the past 35 years, his name has become associated with innovations in the industry.

Puck sees two distinct possibilities for the future.

Farmers can become more active in finding new ways to safely use nutrients and eliminate emissions, which the public finds offensive. If they don’t, government will step in and place even more restrictive regulations on livestock operations.

“Livestock operators have to do their due diligence in finding an economic value for the nutrient in that product,” he said.“That in itself should solve the problem. Look at manure as an asset.”

Puck said stratification is likely the biggest factor working against liquid manure as a reliable fertilizer.

“From a strictly technological point of view, farmers need better mixing and better agitation to extract full value from the liquid.

“The only payment you can expect is based on the nutrient value of the poorest gallon in your tank, the gallon with the least nutritional value for a crop,” he said.

“If you can achieve total mixing, or totally uniform distribution of all the nutrients, you raise the cash value of your product. But to sell your product as widely as possible, you have to prove that nutrient value to your customers.”

Selling nutrients as widely as possible is a key element. Every livestock operation has a saturated circle that has had more than enough manure over the years. Livestock operators must now find a way to economically sell manure beyond that circle.

What’s worse: wild mustard in canola, canola in organics?

ORGANIC MATTERS

BRENDA FRICK

uly on the Canadian Prairies is a vision of beauty. A great many fields are ablaze with the golden yellow of canola in full flower. It seems at times that this brilliant colour is the dominant feature of the landscape, so strong is its visual presence.

Of course it’s not all canola out there. Some of those pretty yellow flowers are a similar but less popular cousin: wild mustard.

Let’s consider one hypothetical, but not unlikely situation, where the ocean of yellow is split by a highway.

On one side is canola; on the other, wild mustard.

Likely the canola is a genetically modified variety, containing a gene that makes it Roundup Ready. Likely the mustard is flowering above an organically managed crop.

Although the two sides of the road look pretty similar, they are rarely seen in the same light. To many people, the canola brings a smile and the wild mustard a frown. After all, the canola is an important crop. Wild mustard can significantly reduce crop yields. It’s a pretty clear-cut difference, but let’s consider a different perspective.

Wild mustard has a long history on the Prairies. Rumour has it that the Agriculture Canada weed research station in Regina was established to address this weed problem. When 2,4-D was introduced, and just a whiff of the herbicide seemed to be enough to kill wild mustard, many folks felt it was under control.

Of course, there can still be problems. Wild mustard has a variable

This makes control temporary in years with many scattered showers.

An organic farmer has a number of pre- and post-emergent tillage options for early emerging wild mustard, but tillage is often not recommended when there is frequent rain.

Some organic farmers will clip the wild mustard plants above a short crop to reduce further seed set.

Wild mustard can be competitive in an organic crop and reduce crop yields.

On the other hand, crops such as flax and lentils do little to suppress wild mustard, but they hold their own surprisingly well in organic fields. As well, wild mustard roots secrete an acid that dissolves small

amounts of soil phosphorus, which makes it more available to weeds and crop. Some farmers report that yields were higher in phosphorus-depleted soil when the wild mustard was abundant.

How much problem is an organic field of wild mustard likely to present to the neighbour across the highway?

The seed is small and round and likely to bounce. It is likely to be picked up by birds, other animals, people and equipment. Indeed, it can spread to a neighbour’s field.

Chances are good that this neighbour was already planning to spray.

Most chemical herbicides will kill wild mustard. There has been some herbicide tolerant wild mustard, but there is no selection for it on organic farms. So the additional problem of

wild mustard crossing the highway will be minimal.

Now let’s take another look at that canola. Recommended practice used to be to grow canola no more often than one year in four to prevent insect and disease problems. The Canola Council of Canada now recommends that people have “at least one year” between canola crops. This corresponds to a huge increase in canola’s presence on the land and an associated increase in insecticide and fungicide use.

Increased likelihood of spray drift is not the only problem for canola’s neighbours. People growing cole crops (cabbage family vegetables) have a harder time avoiding canola insects. And canola itself is a weed concern.

How likely is canola seed to spread to the organic neighbour across the highway? Canola seed, like wild mustard seed, is small and round, bouncy and easily carried by birds, other animals, people and vehicles.

More importantly, entire swaths of the stuff have been known to lift off and scatter in the wind. It is likely that canola too will spread beyond the originating field.

How much of a problem is that likely to cause? Canola can cause yield loss, but this is certainly not the main problem.

The presence of canola can prevent sales for an organic producer because of the detection of GM genes in

the organic crop. Any crop that could not be easily cleaned of canola would have to be abandoned. As well, organic farmers have a good feed market for their screenings, but this would be lost as well.

Most organic farmers are sympathetic to their canola growing neighbours. They understand that they feel compelled financially to buy into GM canola. As the courts have determined, straying transgenic seed remains the property of the developing company, which means liability must belong to the breeder rather than the grower.

Of course, both theoretical neighbours across the highway should do their due diligence to prevent spread of their yellow crops.

Blaming the organic farmer for a sea of yellow fails to consider the relative risks of wild mustard and canola spread.

Last year was an especially favourable year for wild mustard, given the pattern of the rain that came. But let’s rethink the shame that organic farmers often feel about mustard.

Perhaps the mustard flowering period is, as one old time organic farmer used to say, “time to go fishin’” and avoid coffee row. If only the neighbours would do the same.

STOCKADE ROUNDUP | AWARD

Sask. brothers, ranchers celebrated for contributions Cattlemen of the year | Kerr Bros. Livestock runs 1,000 cattle every year and has worked with international students and community organizations

BY KRISTEN MCEWEN SASKATOON NEWSROOM

David and Harry Kerr of Lashburn, Sask., are this year’s recipients of the Lloydminster Stockade Roundup Cattlemen of the Year award. “(We were) very surprised and very appreciative,” said David Kerr after the Nov. 1 presentation.

“We’re following in some pretty big footsteps,” added Harry Kerr.

The award is presented annually to individuals who make an outstanding contribution to the commercial cattle industry. By that definition, the Kerr brothers more than met the requirements.

The brothers grew up in the Lashburn area and helped on the farm with their parents, John and Janet.

David began his own farm in 1973, and Harry followed suit by taking over his parents’ operation with his brother in 1981.

Also known as Kerr Bros. Livestock, David and Harry own 1,500 acres and lease another 8,000.

And we may have differences in opinion, but we have the same basis.

DAVID KERR RANCHER

They run 1,000 cows every year, which are a combination of shared, leased and custom fed.

The brothers’ business has overcome a number of challenges.

In 2001, they decided to shift from grain and cattle to specialize in the latter. The herd made it through a four-year drought and BSE. Six years ago, they ventured into corn, which has also been doing well, they said.

The Kerrs have also contributed to their community as coaches and managers for minor and senior hockey teams, members of the Lashburn Arena Board, 4-H and the Lashburn Kinsmen Club.

They have hosted international students in a six-month exchange program with Ag Ventures, working with students from Australia, New Zealand, Sweden and Denmark.

They said working with one another has been more beneficial than challenging.

“It’s great,” David said.

“You’ve got a basis where you both start off. You’ve got the same type of mindset. You’re raised the same so you have something in common.

And we may have differences in opinion, but we have the same basis.”

Also recognized at this year’s Stockade Roundup was Josh Tyler of Tyler Farms in Cutknife, Sask. He was named King of the Ring after showing a 1,300 pound Simmental bull calf. “(The judges) really liked his thickness, his powerfulness,” said Jada Rowat, who showed the calf.

“They really liked his makeup and everything.”

Tyler said the bull’s length and muscle pattern also contributed.

“He’s just always been a standout ever since he was little, when he was a baby calf,” Tyler said.

“He’s always had good hips and top.

He’s been a standout all summer.”

Tyler runs a mixed grain and cattle farm, raising canola, barley, wheat, 100 purebreds and 300 commercial cattle.

Winning the King of the Ring title was an honour.

“It makes a person pretty happy,” Tyler said.

“Feels pretty good when all of your hard work pays off.”

HEALTH | RURAL AREAS

Lower immunization rates linked to measles outbreak Farming communities | Nineteen cases in rural communities have been confirmed in southern Alberta and more are expected

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

An outbreak of measles in southern Alberta is directly related to lower than average immunization rates in the region, particularly in several rural areas.

Dr. Vivien Suttorp, south zone medical officer of health with Alberta Health Services, said Nov. 7 that there were 19 confirmed cases in a region stretching across the southern part of the province.

None of the individuals had been immunized, and she expects more cases to appear.

Multiple families have been placed in quarantine in an attempt to limit spread, she said.

“We know that communities such as Fort Macleod, Coaldale, Coalhurst, Diamond City, Shaughnessy, Nobleford, Iron Springs and Picture Butte have very low immunization rates and those are very much farming communities,” said Suttorp in an interview after an address to the Southern Alberta Council of Public Affairs.

Immunization rates are also lower in and around Taber, Bow Island, Vauxhall and Raymond.

“Many of these are farming com-

munities and individuals working on farms.”

The initial case reported in midOctober involved a school-aged child who attended school in Coaldale and had recently visited the Netherlands.

That country is experiencing its own outbreak with more than 2,000 cases of the same strain now reported, Suttorp said.

Reasons for the low regional immunization rates vary, she added.

“It can be personal choices, and those personal choices can be informed by a multitude of things: misinformation, just basically a per-

sonal choice, there’s a lot of fear perhaps out there … there may be some with religious convictions, some with cultural reasons.”

However, access to immunization is not a problem. Suttorp said small communities are well served by regular clinics with extended evening hours.

C h i l d r e n ’s i m m u n i z a t i o n i s tracked once they reach kindergarten and school age. Parents are informed of their children’s status and have the choice to get them vaccinated.

Up to 30 percent of people who get measles experience further compli-

cations, including bacterial infections and pneumonia. A rare few will get encephalitis, which can lead to blindness and deafness.

One or two people per 1,000 in the developed world will die from measles despite receiving medical care.

In contrast, Suttorp said reactions to the measles vaccine are much lower than 30 percent. Millions of doses have been given and all adverse reactions are tracked.

“It’s safe. It’s effective,” she said.

Measles immunization is good for life once administered, but many adults do not know or cannot recall whether they’ve been immunized.

“In general, people born before 1970 have seen the disease. They have natural immunity,” said Suttorp.

Alberta began immunizing with a killed viral vaccine in the 1960s and moved to a live viral vaccine in 1970.

During her presentation, Suttorp was asked whether measles vaccination should be mandatory, given its threat to public health.

She said the question is often debated in public health circles, and immunization is mandatory in some jurisdictions.

Some also employ a system of “declination,” in which people are immunized unless they take specific steps to decline.

“Herd immunity” of 98 percent is required to prevent contagious illness, she said. In southern Alberta, immunity rates are less than 70 percent in some regions.

Low immunization rates are also a concern in the spread of pertussis, also known as whooping cough. Suttorp said a regional outbreak of that illness in 2007 resulted in 97 cases. In 2012, one child in the region died of pertussis.

MORE ABOUT MEASLES • Measles are caused by a highly contagious virus.

• They spread through the air, and the virus can remain active in the air for up to two hours after an infected person has been there.

• People can spread measles one to two days before symptoms appear and up to four days after symptoms appear.

• Symptoms include fever, cough, runny nose and red eyes, with a rash appearing a few days later.

• The rash may last up to seven days.

• There is no treatment. Some medications can relieve symptoms such as fever and cough.

• Thirty percent of people who get measles will experience further complications including bacterial infection and pneumonia.

• Immunization is the most effective way to prevent measles.

• People born before 1970 likely have immunity.

• Once a person has had measles, they are generally immune.

• Antibiotics are not used to treat or cure measles.

• Measles vaccine is offered free of charge in Alberta.

• The vaccine cannot cause measles.

FARMFAIR INTERNATIONAL | CELEBRATING 40 YEARS

Marking 40th | New cattle breeds, better equipment and technology keep cattle showing tradition strong

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

ABOVE: Howard Schneider of Northline Angus says Farmfair attracts international buyers.

RIGHT: Scott and Lorne Bodell of Golden Harvest Ranches of Sherwood Park, Alta., say the show is a must for those in the purebred cattle business.

The Papenhuyzen farmily, Laura, left, Brittany, Katrina and Lindsay, have shown sheep, pigs and now Limousin cattle at Farmfair as a way to promote the industry and new genetics.

EDMONTON — Sharon Gabert has seen a lot of changes in Farmfair’s 40 year history, including the rise and fall of cattle breeds.

“I was here when Angus weren’t cool,” said Gabert of Crooked Creek Angus near Fort Saskatchewan, Alta.

Gabert and her husband, Rick, weren’t in the nice show barns when they started showing cattle. Instead, they were in the old dark and drafty Edmonton Gardens. The cattle were tied around the outside wall and the cattle shown in the middle of the barn.

“Clipping and grooming wasn’t as perfect as it is now,” said Gabert, as she showed the tack box full of brushes, sprays and blow dryers she needs to get her cattle in show shape.

Farmfair has been a good venue for the family to show off their cattle and encourage their children to join the business.

“We stuck with it because we thought it was good for the kids,” said Gabert. She spent the summer going to small fairs and cattle shows with their children and cattle.

“We do this as a family function. We do this thing with the kids so they don’t need all the extra stuff.”

Gabert said a lot of customers come by their stall to check out their string of show cattle.

The ability to improve their herd through artificial insemination is one of the biggest improvements over the past 40 years.

“It’s improved our herd phenomenally,” she said.

Howard Schneider of Northline Angus can’t imagine missing Farmfair. The Angus breeder from Ardrossan, Alta., has attended for 40 years and said Farmfair is where a lot of sales happen.

Most purebred livestock sales 40 years ago were to neighbours and local people, he added. Now, a steady stream of international buyers comes through the barns.

“We’ve done a lot of business through here,” said Schneider. Before you went for the prize money. There is no prize money, really, now.

You go to advertise and make contacts.”

Semen and embr yo transplants have allowed international buyers to walk through the barns and select the cattle they want in their herd, said Schneider.

“It’s nice to see a calf from a cow and a bull from your herd on a farm across the world.”

Lorne Bodell of Golden Harvest Ranches near Stony Plain, Alta., has shown Limousin cattle since Farmfair began in 1974. The show coincided with the growing interest in European cattle, and it was a way to promote their cattle.

“It’s been a very good marketing tool for our business. It’s our local show,” he said.

“If you are in the purebred cattle business in Alberta, this is the show you need to attend.

We make a lot of sales and create a lot of business because we’re here at Farmfair.”

Limousin shows in the early days used to include percentage and purebred cattle. With so much interest in the breed, each exhibitor was allowed to bring only 10 exhibits to the show.

One year, Bodell volunteered his family and crew to look after other people’s cattle at the show to promote the industry. They ended up looking after 54 of the 220 Limousin at the show.

Bodell said the level of competition increases every year, and showing at Farmfair is one way for producers to determine how their cattle compare to others in the purebred business.

My dad started this tradition, and showing cattle here is part of my life.

BRITTANY PAPENHUYZEN LIMOUSIN PRODUCER

“You come to the show to take your pulse of your own operation and compare your situation to competitors and make sure you’re making the right decisions at home,” he said.

Laura and Charles Papenhuyzen of Cottage Lake Limousin originally started showing Suffolk sheep at Farmfair 40 years ago.

The family switched from sheep to purebred pigs, showing Yorkshire, Landrace, Duroc and Hampshire pigs, before finally switching to Limousin.

Hog producers used the swine show and sale at Farmfair to introduce new genetics into the province’s small herds.

“It was a way of getting out genetics and a way to promote the swine industry,” said Laura.

The family switched to showing the top end of their 250-head cow herd as soon as the three daughters were old enough to show cattle in the youth events.

The family had a herd dispersal when Charles died and the girls went to university, selling most of their livestock.

It was then that the oldest daughter, Brittany, knew she still wanted to be part of the legacy her parents started at Farmfair 40 years earlier.

“My dad started this tradition, and showing cattle here is part of my life.”

WILDLIFE | COMPENSATING FOR DAMAGE

Living with wildlife comes with a price tag Producers want more compensation | Ability to charge hunters for land access could help LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

FORT MACLEOD, Alta. — Cattle and wildlife share the land in southwestern Alberta’s cattle country, and producers want their organization to work toward quicker and better compensation when the domestic and the wild interact.

Members attending Alberta Beef Producers’ Zone 2 meeting Oct. 28 passed three wildlife related resolutions for consideration at the Dec. 2-4 annual meeting.

Blaine Marr of Twin Butte, Alta., said ranchers should be able to charge hunters who seek game on private land. That is now prohibited under the provincial wildlife act.

“The precedent is set,” Marr said in a later interview.

“Landowners are able to charge for seismic, oil and gas exploration, sight seeing, bird watching, berry picking.

Big game hunting is the only recreation activity for which landowners are not allowed to charge access.

“But oil and gas is owned by the public, it’s a public resource. So is wildlife. What’s the difference?”

Marr said ranchers’ ability to charge hunters for access could help them pay for livestock losses and property damage resulting from an expanding bear, wolf, cougar, deer and elk population.

Good land stewardship creates habitat attractive to wildlife, so environmentally conscious ranchers tend to pay a higher price in livestock damage.

“If you were able to get some kind of reward for this wildlife that is on your land, and a fee for access, that would address it,” he said.

Opponents to the idea of paid hunting often point to the Texas model, where fees for hunting made it prohibitively expensive and there is no public or leased land that hunters can use without charge.

Todd Zimmerling, president of the Alberta Conservation Association, said his group has no position on paid hunting, but some ACA member groups would likely object, fearing fees would make hunting unaffordable.

“I don’t disagree that those who are doing a good job of managing the wildlife on the land should be compensated in some way, basically compensated for the ecological goods and services they’re providing,” said Zimmerling.

However, he said wildlife has value to other sectors besides hunters.

Conservation leasing programs and tax incentives based on the quality of habitat that ranchers provide are two options that might achieve the goal of more fully compensating ranchers, he said.

Another wildlife related resolution encouraged ABP to push for more timely compensation payments to ranchers who lose animals to grizzly bears, cougars and wolves.

Jeff Bectell, who raises cattle near Waterton Lakes National Park, said compensation payments were delayed for months last year, and it appears the same thing will happen this year.

The province’s compensation payments are issued through the ACA using funds from hunting and fishing licences.

Bectell speculated that the ACA delayed payments to make a point with government that hunters and anglers should not be footing the entire bill for compensation.

“I just don’t think that we need to be the guys that get hit on the head when the ACA is trying to make a political point,” he said.

Zimmerling said the group ran out of money in its compensation fund last year so it delayed payments to ranchers until its new budget year.

He said the federal government pays 60 percent of predator compen-

sation costs in British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, and the ACA has been lobbying for the same federal contribution in Alberta.

“Literally, as of today, I got a phone call telling me that it looks like … the federal government will be paying 60 percent, so it shouldn’t be an issue going forward,” he said Oct. 29.

“We should have lots of funds to cover off the cost.”

He said claims for compensation from carnivore kills of cattle, sheep and other livestock totalled $274,072 in 2012, up from $68,674 in 2000.

ScourGuard™ 4KC helps you to maximize colostrum quality when administered 3 to 6 weeks before birth.

More claims and higher values for livestock have caused a major increase in the amounts.

“Our large predators are doing quite well, and unfortunately it’s obviously having a direct impact on our cattle producers and our sheep producers as well,” Zimmerling said.

However, controlling the number of large carnivores has become a social and political issue, he added.

Another resolution at the Zone 2 meeting called for the province to “encourage voluntary market-based

payments for ecological services” provided by cattle producers.

Nanton area rancher Bob Lowe said he doesn’t know how such a system would work, but the resolution might start discussion toward a plan.

“The big thing coming, in my mind, to the cattle industry is getting paid for what we actually produce, other than just cattle,” he said.

“As we know, we produce clean water, we produce views, we produce game. There’s a bunch of stuff, and I think it’s time we got paid for it.”

CATTLE | DISEASE

Macrolide antibiotics improve respiratory treatments ANIMAL HEALTH

ROY LEWIS, DVM

S

everal things come to mind when we analyze the most recent success that cattle producers have had in reducing respiratory disease and deaths.

Vaccines have improved and cover a broader range of respiratory patho-

gens. Seven main virus and bacteria vaccines can help protect cattle against respiratory disease.

Lessening weaning stress with good nutrition and parasite control is also effective.

Macrolide antibiotics are a key component in reducing sickness and death from respiratory disease in large feedlots or when cattle are gathered, commingled and transported.

The macrolide family is often used metaphylactically, which means as a preventive method when there is a good chance a high percentage of cattle are at risk of getting respiratory disease or have already been diagnosed with it.

All products in this family of antibiotics have a similar chemical structure.

Withdrawal times are longer, as long as 49 days before slaughter. It makes sense because they accumulate in the lungs and other tissues.

The products include Micotil, Zactran, Draxxin and Zuprevo, which came out on the market last year. All of them require a prescription and must be bought from a veterinarian.

Producers need to have a working relationship with their veterinarian so that they can advise where and when to give macrolides and help develop treatment protocols.

This approach costs money, but death loss in medium sized feedlots

in Canada can be reduced to about one percent, which is a huge improvement.

Macrolides generally have an affinity for respiratory tissue. Halflives can sometimes be long, which means they stick around in the lungs and lung fluids before being excreted.

This can take as long as two to four weeks, depending on which product is used.

Cattle are assessed a risk level either at home or on entry to the feedlot as low, moderate, high or ultrahigh. An appropriate antibiotic is then prescribed.

Veter inar ians w ill have their favourites based on effectiveness,

price, dosage, route of administration, bottle size and syringeability, which is important in cold Canadian winters.

These softer features may not be critical if you have a small herd, but dosing 20,000 cattle could make a huge difference on labour costs. All the macrolide antibiotics are quite syringeable.

The risk level of the cattle being treated will be a major factor when selecting product.

Cattle are considered at high risk if they are commingled, come from an auction market or are transported long distances.

This applies to most cattle that are weaned and shipped through the auction system in Canada.

Even weaning in inclement weather may tip the scales from low-risk to high-risk calves.

Animal health companies have manufactured a dosing syringe in which the calf ’s specific weight is dialed into the syringe.

The setting can be changed on the fly to match the dose to individual calves.

The use of macrolides can provide a window of time and allows cattle to settle in and get on feed before much observation is necessary. This also reduces the labour needed to pull sick cattle from the pens.

Effectiveness against bacteria varies, but effectiveness of almost a month has been demonstrated in some products.

Micotil had issues early on with safety and self-injection, but producers can avoid self-injection by practising good beef quality assurance, properly restraining the animal and watching how they inject.

Many studies have compared morbidity and mortality, and most veterinarians take these into account before deciding which macrolide to prescribe.

Having these choices is good for the industry because it creates competition.

It is also good if supply problems arise or we see resistance developing, although resistance has not been an issue with macrolides.

Something occasionally goes wrong in manufacturing, and products are recalled. That is why producers and their veterinarians need to develop a good protocol and know what alternative macrolide can be used to treat a specific respiratory disease.

Veterinarians and producers should also strive to implement management practices that further reduce respiratory disease such as preconditioning programs. This could decrease the necessity for antibiotics over time.

TABER, Alta. — Farmers of North America has chosen a site and raised $8 million for a proposed $1.76 billion nitrogen fertilizer plant on the Prairies.

At the first of a series of FNA meetings scheduled this fall, vice-president Terry Drabiuk declined to reveal the planned location of the plant, saying only that “everybody in this room is in a good position.”

In a later interview, he said the location is being kept under wraps while FNA talks with nine third parties, one of which it expects will undertake construction and partial ownership of the plant.

“We’re in discussions with third party strategic investors and partners, and we don’t want to disrupt their organization should it cause problems with their shareholders or their owners,” said Drabiuk.

The site has a natural gas pipeline running through the 225-acre property, with rail access, water and electrical service and is close to a potential labour market, he told a small group of Taber area farmers.

FNA floated the idea of farmer investment in a fertilizer plant two years ago. Response encouraged it to launch Project N and form the FNA Fertilizer Limited Partnership, which is tasked with finding partners, explaining the concept and encouraging farmer seed money and investment.

FNA has sold 8,100 seed capital units and signed up 2,100 farmers.

Drabiuk said it wants to sell 12,000 units and 4,000 committed farmers with a collective 20 million acres.

“Honestly, we would take 10,000 farmers. The more the better,” he said.

Farmers of North America hopes farmers will invest in construction of a nitrogen fertilizer plant to enjoy ownership dividends from the nutrients they buy. | FILE PHOTO “Our target of 4,000 is, I think we have a legitimate leverage to get a majority of the equity in the plant depending on the size of farmers and how much they’re prepared to invest when it comes to the offering memorandum. But we want farmers to own as much of the plant as they possibly can.”

A critical component of the project is its “closed loop system,” meaning farmer investors would also be consumers of the product, eliminating the need to find markets, he said. It also means farmer investors won’t necessarily get to buy fertilizer at a cheaper rate.

“Farmers can choose to get cheaper fertilizer, but then they would get less

dividends,” Drabiuk said.

“So if they paid higher for their fertilizer, the plant’s going to make more money and the more dividends it will be able to pay. So as owners of the plant, they have that choice.”

The project also includes plans for 16 “super centres” across Canada and in the U.S. Midwest. MNP LLP has been hired to determine the most economically sound locations, Drabiuk said.

The centres would store product from the plant and also have blending capability. FNA would receive a service agreement to manage distribution from the plant.

Farmers would have equity in the

super centres and collect dividends, as they would from the plant itself, according to the plan.

Drabiuk said another 2,000 committed farmers would allow FNA to acquire controlling interest. He declined to identify the third party investors being considered, citing ongoing discussions.

However, he said fertilizer giant Agrium isn’t one of them, and “most of the companies we’re talking to, you’ve never heard of before.”

North America remains a net importer of nitrogen fertilizer. That, when combined with abundant and relatively cheap natural gas, has attracted fertilizer plant proposals in the past two years.

The Grimshaw elevator will have storage capacity of 30,000 tonnes and be capable of loading a 104 car train.

All of the grain sourced through Grimshaw will be exported, either through Prince Rupert or the Port of Vancouver.

Preliminary site work is expected to begin this fall.

Kyle Jeworski, Viterra’s North American president, said the Grimshaw area has good grain production and an established customer base.

“We’ve been operating in that area for nearly 100 years,” he said.

“They have very solid grain production up there and we saw an opportu-

nity … for us to reinvest in our network there.”

The expansion at Grassy Lake will add two 7,000 tonne steel storage bins, boosting existing capacity at the facility by 14,000 tonnes to 36,500 tonnes.

It will also include operational improvements aimed at increasing logistical flexibility and improving grain handling efficiency.

“By strengthening our significant presence in Alberta, we are delivering on our commitment to provide our customers with superior service backed by industry leading assets,” Jeworski said in a Nov. 5 news release.

“Our reinvestment in these target-

ed areas will accommodate increased farmer deliveries and facilitate higher and more efficient throughput.”

The Alberta investments are the latest in a series of infrastructure improvements initiated by Viterra since the company was taken over by Swiss multinational Glencore Xstrata in December 2012.

Viterra announced plans in May to spend more than $20 million upgrading Saskatchewan grain terminals at White Star, Humboldt, Waldron and Ituna.

It also completed Saskatchewan expansions at Gull Lake and Fairlight.

FERTILIZER COMPANIES | FINANCIAL OUTLOOK

Fertilizer producers’ profits drop, outlook dreary Demand, prices down | Nitrogen, potash and phosphate sales all dipped, reducing earnings industry wide REUTERS — Fertilizer companies Agrium, Mosaic and CF Industries all reported sharply lower third quarter profits last week and outlooks for weak results into next year.

Uncertainty in fertilizer markets, combined with a late North American growing season, caused many buyers to delay crop nutrient purchases, said Mike Wilson, Agrium’s chief executive officer.

As well, potash prices have sagged since a feud broke out between two major potash producers in the former Soviet Union this summer. Russia’s Uralkali OAO and Belarus’s Belaruskali had co-operated in an export cartel, but that association broke up, leading to an increased amount of potash hitting the market at lower prices.

CF Industries said its results were weakened by buyer expectations that prices will fall further and competition from a high volume of Chinese nitrogen exports.

These various factors contributed to a 41 percent reduction in Agrium’s net earnings for the third quarter to $76 million, or 52 cents per share, compared with $129 million, or 80 cents per share, a year ago.

At Mosaic, net earnings for the

The price of potash, produced at mines such as Mosaic’s plant at Belle Plaine, Sask., has fallen along with prices for phosphate and nitrogen, reducing fertilizer company profits. | FILE PHOTO third quarter fell 70 percent to $124 million, or 29 cents per share, from $417 million, or 98 cents per share, a year earlier.

At CF Industries, net earnings for the third quarter fell 42 percent to $234.1 million, or $4.07 per share, from $403.3 million, or $6.35 per share, a year ago, At Agrium, wholesale sales of nitrogen, potash and phosphate decreased by 24 percent to $752 million because of lower realized sales prices across all products and plant outages, the company said.

Mosaic sold less phosphate and potash during the quarter than it did a year earlier and at lower prices.

Its average price for diammonium phosphate for the quarter was $436 per tonne, down from $533 last year, and for potash was $342, down 24.5 percent from a year earlier.

CF Industries said the average price of its granular urea nitrogen fertilizer fell 28 percent to $338 per tonne.

Mosaic plans to run its potash mines below 65 percent of capacity overall in the fourth quarter, allowing for maintenance at its Esterhazy,

Sask., mine, and will run its phosphate operations at about 80 percent of capacity.

Wilson said breakdow ns and repairs at Agrium’s Redwater and Carseland nitrogen facilities in Alberta reduced product availability in the third quarter and will also affect fourth quarter sales volumes.

The company will reduce fourth quarter earnings by about 20 cents per share, he added.

Mosaic CEO Jim Prokopanko said the company is potentially interested in buying other North American

potash assets.

“We’re always interested in expanding top-line growth. At the right valuations, those kind of combinations might prove of interest,” he said Nov. 5 when asked about Mosaic’s potential interest in U.S. producer Intrepid Potash Inc. or a potash mine under construction in Saskatchewan by Germany’s K+S AG. The following day, K+S said it was not looking for partners for its $4.1 billion Legacy potash mine.

“As we have stressed before, we are fully committed to this project and will be able to shoulder it on our own.

We are not considering a sale or a partnership,” a K+S spokesperson said.

CF Industries said in late October that it would sell its phosphate business to Mosaic for $1.2 billion, allowing it to focus on its core nitrogen business. The deal increased Mosaic’s position as the world’s largest phosphate producer.

CF also agreed to a long-term ammonia supply agreement with Mosaic, strengthening CF’s confidence in its expansion at a nitrogen complex in Donaldsonville, Louisiana.

In October, Potash Corp reported a 45 percent drop in third quarter profits to $356 million.

How to fund retirement MONEY IN YOUR POCKET

GRANT DIAMOND

T

he aging of the Canadian population is common knowledge as the boomer generation begins to enter its senior years.

The median age of the Canadian population was 40 years on July 1, 2012. In the past 20 years, between 1992 and 2012, the median age in Canada has increased by 6.4 years.

As of July 1, 2012, the number of seniors older than 65 was estimated at 5.17 million out of a total population of 34.88 million. They represented 14.9 percent of the total population, up from 11.6 percent in 1992.

The number of seniors is approaching the number of children.

The number of seniors increased almost 58 percent between 1992 and 2012, while the number of children fell about four percent. That means that children outnumbered seniors by 476,300 on July 1, 2012, compared with close to 2.6 million on the same date in 1992.

What is even more remarkable is the aging of the farm population. For the first time, operators older than 55 represented the largest share of total operators. They accounted for about 48 percent, up from 41 percent in 2006 and 32 percent in 1991.

One impact of this is that tens of bil-

lions of dollars of farm assets will be transferred to fund the retirement years of the aging farm generation.

However, there are other ways to fund that retirement, rather than just depending on the sale of land.

For example, owners of incorporated farms who have T4 income can fund their retirement out of the corporation using an Individual Pension Plan.

There are also insurance-based solutions, particularly if there is an existing need for insurance. Components of the insurance policy can be tax deductible to the corporation while providing the retiree with a way to tax shelter savings to fund future retirement. Insurance funded solutions could also be used as collateral for a loan to avoid tax implications on withdrawal from the corporation, or they could simply be withdrawn from the policy directly.

If a full or partial sale of the farm is contemplated, retiring farmers could also use the proceeds to buy a life annuity to pay a fixed annual amount.

Life annuity payments receive preferential tax treatment because they’re taxed at a prescribed rate.

Insured life annuities provide a maximum guaranteed income while preserving the value that is passed to the estate on a tax exempt basis. The principal is protected through insurance and premiums are generally paid from the income generated by the life annuity.

You may want to shop around because attractive rates of return can still be achieved using this strategy.
