GRAIN MARKETING | REINVENTIONS

CWB changes business model Adapt like a chameleon | CWB announces plans to add assets, farmers remain ‘significant’ owners

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

CWB equity will give farmers ownership of a real grain company rather than just a marketing agency, says president Ian White.

The organization announced Nov. 26 that it will buy port terminals and producer car loading facilities, making it unique among the big prairie grain companies.

“It will be a Canadian, farmerfocused company,” White said.

“It will be something that farmers part own. It’s not going back to exactly the same model as they might have had in prairie pool days, but they will still have the opportunity to be a significant ownership part of this company.”

CWB’s agreement to buy Mission Terminal in Thunder Bay, Les Elevateurs des Trois-Rivieres and Services Maritimes Laviolette in Quebec and producer car loading facilities in Manitoba and Saskatchewan gives it the ability to obtain crops from farmers, ship it to a terminal and export it

without having to use third parties other than the railways.

CWB won’t say how much the purchase will cost.

The deal removes one of the biggest challenges to the former Canadian Wheat Board, which until now has relied on grain elevator companies to handle and export crops. Most analysts and grain industry players have been skeptical of this arrangement.

CWB will be a serious player in eastward crop exports if the sale is completed as planned by Dec. 31. It will be able

to move 1.5 million tonnes through the purchased facilities, which are presently owned by Upper Lakes Group.

White said CWB will also handle non-CWB producer car crops and crops from other grain companies.

As well, White said CWB hopes to obtain ownership positions in more grain collection facilities across Western Canada and on the West Coast so that it can become a broadbased grain company.

CWB changes model “Ultimately, to compete effectively and to offer farmers good value in every market circumstance and to be able to capture some of the revenue between country and port … we need to have interests,” said White.

“We’re not prescribing at this time what they might be. It could take a number of forms.”

CWB is paying for the facilities with recent profits and money left over from the former wheat board’s non-pool activities, including a surplus from the producer payment options programs and interest from government-backed credit sales to export customers.

White said no “farmer money” is being used in the transaction, although he realizes many farmers think the former wheat board built up equity and assets over its decades-long life.

White said even CWB’s hopper cars and office building carry a substantial debt burden, and the agency always paid out all pool money to farmers each year.

An interesting asset that comes with Mission Terminal is Adrian Measner, the former wheat board chief executive officer who was fired while the federal government was striving to eliminate the agency’s monopoly marketing powers. Measner is chief executive officer of Soumat, the Upper Lakes subsidiary that owns all the assets the CWB is buying.

“He comes with the business,” said White. “He’s been doing a very good job with his management team.…

We’re taking all the management.”

White said farmer ownership is central to the CWB’s strategic plan because it believes farmers want to own part of the industry.

“That’s one of our main pillars,” he said.

CWB announced weeks before the Mission Terminal announcement that farmers could choose to be issued CWB equity as part of the payment for their delivered crops.

The federal government gave CWB five years in which to privatize itself when it broke the monopoly, and White said acquiring grain handling facilities is a key part of making that possible.

“We’re really excited by this purchase,” said White. “We think this is the start of a new era in the grain industry.”

Farmers want more competition for their grain and want to see a viable CWB, says the president of Keystone Agricultural Producers in Manitoba.

However, many of them are upset that the organization has bought major grain-handling assets without talking to them first, he added.

“The wheat board shouldn’t proceed without some accountability to the farmer,” said Doug Chorney, who only found out about CWB’s purchase of Mission Terminal and other facilities when it announced Nov. 26 that the deal was done.

“Maybe it’s a brilliant opportunity.

Maybe it’s a perfect decision. But acquiring assets, farmers haven’t necessarily agreed to that.”

However, many farmers who fought hard to break the CWB export monopoly think the CWB has made a necessary move that was inevitable if the organization wanted to stay viable.

“I wish we could have found a different way to use the equity that we left in the wheat board from past generations, but it’s better than going to the government for money,” said Gerrid Gust, chair of the Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association.

“It’s a great opportunity. The wheat board has the chance to become a real commercial entity.”

The CWB’s purchase of Mission Terminal in Thunder Bay, Ont., an export facility in Trois-Rivieres, Que., and a Quebec stevedoring company from Upper Great Lakes Group will instantly transform the former marketing agency into a grain company if the deal is completed as planned by the end of this year.

CWB will own Mission’s grain elevator in western Manitoba and its ownership stake in producer car loading facilities in Manitoba and Saskatchewan.

GRAIN TRANSPORTATION | RAILWAY SERVICE CRITICISM

More isn’t better, says CN on lack of rail cars Traffic jam | Trains take time to load and too many cars cause congestion: Jim Feeny

“It’s not just a rail car issue, it’s a supply chain issue, and the supply chain has a certain capacity,” he said.

CN spent $100 million last year adding capacity to its western rail network, such as longer sidings. It is also working more closely with grain companies to better co-ordinate grain movement.

Feeny used a rush hour traffic analogy to explain why adding more rail

cars into the system won’t necessarily increase the amount of grain arriving at port position.

“If you throw more automobiles onto a freeway at rush hour than the freeway is able to handle, what you end up with is congestion,” he said.

“It’s going to take longer to move the same amount of grain, and that’s what we want to avoid.”

Feeny said he has seen it happen before. He believes grain companies have unrealistic expectations, given the record volume of grain being moved this year.

“I don’t think the supply chain will ever be in a position where it can handle the entire crop in three months, which seems to be what we’re being asked to do right now,” he said.

CP spokesperson Ed Greenberg said the railway shipped more grain

than ever in September and October with grain loadings 22 percent higher than the five-year average. Vancouver volumes are up 16 percent from last year.

“C P ha s b e e n m ov i n g re c o rd amounts of Canadian grain for our customers, and we’re going to continue to target moving record volumes throughout the entire crop year,” he said.

“Grain is our railway’s single largest commodity and it’s very important and we’re responding as quickly and efficiently as possible to our grain customers at a time when the demand is very strong.”

Chorney said CP recently shed 450 locomotives and 10,000 rail cars from its fleet.

“That is not responding to the demands of the marketplace.”

He worries that farmers are missing out on a prime shipping period for northern hemisphere grain at a time when the weather has been unusually co-operative.

“It is critical to get our deliveries made because after the southern hemisphere crop starts to be harvested, we are in a whole new logistical disadvantage to key customers,” said Chorney.

The railways say this year’s bumper crops have magnified the problems, but Sobkowich contends that this is not a one-off situation. Grain companies have been complaining about poor service for five years.

He said there has been a paradigm shift in Canada’s grain industry where growers are consistently producing bigger crops, and Canada needs to figure out how to permanently reduce the bottlenecks in the transportation system.

Sobkowich said farmers and grain companies invest in bin space and equipment that they don’t use yearround.

“The question is, are the railways motivated to invest in equipment and capacity that they don’t use year round?” he said.

“We don’t think so. We think that they’re more motivated to flat-line that movement so that they can keep their costs constant.”

The railways know most of the grain piled on farms and stored in elevators will eventually make its way down their tracks.

In the meantime, elevators are plugged and basis levels are unattractive.

“We’re at 92 percent capacity right now,” said Sobkowich, which is pretty much full capacity because of segregation issues.

“We’re not clamouring to bring in farmer grain because we don’t have the space for it,” he said.

Chorney believes the permanent fix is to revisit the newly adopted level of service legislation, which has no teeth because the federal government failed to adopt vital shipper amendments.

“We have to look at consequences for the railways when they fail to meet service obligations because there are consequences for shippers and there are consequences for farmers,” he said.

Sobkowich isn’t buying the railway response that they are maxed out.

“There have been years in the past where the railways have provided 4,000 cars a week and they said that was near the top of what they could provide. But they found a way to provide more,” he said. “We do think it’s good that they are providing more capacity and they are moving more.

We just need more still.”

about CWB’s future, especially since the federal government scrapped the organization’s previous farmerelected board of directors and installed an appointed board.

“Everybody has been awaiting this appointed board of directors to announce their plan, (farmers have) not been hearing anything, then they see assets purchased and the continuing use of contingency funds to bankroll their operations,” said Chorney.

“I’m hearing from farmers that

there are a lot of questions. We need more transparency here, we need to see the plan and we need to see what they’re doing with farmers’ money.”

WCWGA president Levi Wood said his organization is happy to see CWB enact a plan to become a real grain company that won’t be beholden to its competitors.

“They’ve been in the unfortunate situation where they’ve had to have their competitors handle grain for them,” said Wood.

“We always hoped that it would be a strong standalone player in the market.”

Wood said he had hoped the government would divide CWB money and assets between farmers, but since it wouldn’t do that, creating a sound new grain company is secondbest.

“If they’re going to take the money in the CWB and use it to strengthen its position and become a grain company, I think it’s a good move.”

Chorney said Manitoba farmers want to see more competition between grain companies and the CWB to be viable, but they are leery of capital expansion plans that not only use hard-earned farmer money but also bring additional financial risks.

“They’re not just spending our money but leveraging our money to get more debt to finance their c a p i t a l e x p a n s i o n p l a n ,” s a i d Chorney. “That’s wrong. This is farmer money.”

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Grain industry frustration with Canada’s two national railways is boiling over as stored grain doesn’t move as fast as many had hoped.

Canadian Pacific Railway and Canadian National Railway are hauling more grain than ever but it’s not good enough, say elevator companies and farmers.

“Simply saying that you’re moving more cars than ever is an unacceptable response,” said Doug Chorney, president of Manitoba’s Keystone Agricultural Producers.

“That’s like a firefighter telling you they’re putting out more fires than ever but when you’re calling from the second floor of your burning house ,it really doesn’t matter what they’re doing everywhere else. They have to get to you.”

Chorney finally got a call on the weekend that he can start moving soybeans to his local elevator.

“It’s December and we’re beginning our harvest delivery program,” he said. “That tells me (the railways) were not properly prepared in advance of the season starting.”

Each railway is consistently providing 5,000 and 5,500 rail cars a week to haul grain in 2013-14.

It is much higher than previous years. CP supplied an average of 4,200 cars per week last year.

“That’s good, but the problem is that it’s nowhere near the demand,” said Wade Sobkowich, executive director of the Western Grain Elevator Association.

Grain shippers had ordered 9,925 more rail cars than CN was able to supply through Week 18 of the 2013-14 crop year. CP didn’t have Week 18 statistics at publishing time, but it had 7,953 unfilled car orders through Week 17.

“We’re just not getting enough,” said Sobkowich.

The unmet demand is resulting in contract penalties, demurrage costs, lost sales, plugged elevators and reduced grain prices for farmers.

“What we’re asking for is for the railways to consider a higher amount of investment in surge capacity,” said Sobkowich.

It means putting more rail cars into service during peak demand periods, such as post-harvest and when grain prices are high.

CN spokesperson Jim Feeny said the solution isn’t that simple.

» CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2 CWB won’t reveal how much it is paying. The money comes from retained earnings and from financing through commercial lenders.

Chorney said KAP doesn’t have a position on how CWB should transform itself, but it believes whatever it does should first be discussed with farmers.

AUDITOR’S REPORT | FOOD SAFETY INVESTIGATIONS

Auditor finds CFIA response inadequate Food recalls | CFIA probe reveals organization could improve record keeping of events

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Federal auditor general Michael Ferguson says that the Canadian Food Inspection Agency does a lot right when it deals with food recalls, but it fails on the follow-up.

It is a major gap in the system.

“We concluded that the CFIA did not adequately manage the food recall system,” he said in a report to Parliament last week.

“Although the agency acted promptly to investigate food safety concerns and verified that recalled products were removed from the marketplace, significant improvements to the recall system were needed.”

Ferguson said rules around bigticket emergency recalls, including the deadly 2008 Maple Leaf listeria incident and the 2012 XL Foods meat recall, created confusion among staff trying to figure out what to do and what to tell the companies.

He told a news conference that the CFIA has done a good job on the “front-end” of food recalls but not so well on the back-end of follow-up.

It gets potentially tainted product off the shelves but does not make

MICHAEL FERGUSON FEDERAL AUDITOR GENERAL

sure it does not get back into the food chain, does not keep good records of lessons learned and does not always document what went wrong.

The 2012 XL Foods recall was cited as a particular problem because of the company’s inadequate response to requests for information and records.

“In the high-profile recalls in which emergency procedures were activated, the CFIA did not adequately document the considerations, analysis and rationale for important food safety decisions or communicate this information to key stakeholders,” said the report.

Ferguson said staffing for the CFIA is not the issue. He did not look at CFIA inspection services or staffing.

“The level of resources is a constraint, but processes can be improved with the resources they have now.”

The criticisms were fuel for opposition MPs in the House of Commons who accused the government of putting the health of Canadians at risk through poor tainted food policies.

The government responded with assurances that all the auditor general’s criticisms are accepted and are being addressed.

Throughout the report, the CFIA’s response was that it accepted the criticism and is doing better.

New food legislation approved by Parliament last year and this year’s moving of the CFIA from Agriculture Canada to Health Canada are held out as the government’s response to the critical report, which it has had for several months.

Responding to the auditor general’s report was in part a coming out party for health minister Rona Ambrose in her new role as minister responsible for the CFIA. She already had announced tougher penalties for meat packers that withhold information or fail to make food safety information available in a timely and usable format. It was a reaction to federal complaints about XL Foods’ performance during last year’s tainted beef crisis.

“I do reiterate that the (Canadian) Food Inspection Agency is already acting on all of these recommendations,” Ambrose told a news conference.

“In fact, they will be complete by spring. Our government will of course continue to ensure that Canadian consumers are provided with the protection that they expect and deserve.”

Opposition MPs saw it differently.

They jumped on the criticism as proof that the federal Conservative government has not fixed the inspection problems found in the 2008 Maple Leaf listeria outbreak or the XL Foods E. coli incident.

“The AG reported that CFIA did not properly follow up with companies that sold tainted meat and continued to ignore underlying food safety problems,” said NDP agriculture critic Malcolm Allen.

“It failed to develop proper emergency plans, creating confusion during emergencies. The CFIA has failed to learn from past incidents.”

Ambrose insisted that the auditor general’s criticisms do not put the Canadian food safety system in doubt.

“We can have confidence that the food safety system in Canada is world class,” she said.

RESEARCH | RETRACTION

Scientific journal retracts paper linking GM corn with cancer

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

A controversial French research paper suggesting that Roundup and Roundup Ready corn caused rats to develop tumours and die has officially been retracted.

Elsevier, a global publisher of scientific journals, announced Nov. 28 that the study by Gilles Seralini was based on a small data set and no “definitive conclusions” could be made from the research data.

“The journal Food and Chemical Toxicology retracts the article Long

term toxicity of a Roundup herbicide and a Roundup-tolerant genetically modified maize, which was published in this journal in November 2012,” Elsevier said in a statement.

Seralini’s paper, which claimed a link between genetically modified food and cancer, generated headlines around the globe when it was published last year.

Seralini and his University of Caen colleagues gave rats water laced with Roundup and fed the lab animals a diet of Roundup Ready corn. Seralini concluded the rats developed more tumours and died two to three times

more frequently than a control group of rats.

Biologists and toxicologists from around the globe immediately pounced on Seralini’s study, criticizing the methods, the data analysis and the conclusions.

Numerous scientists said Seralini used a breed of rat that is prone to develop tumours, which could explain the high level of tumours detected in his experiments.

Wallace Hayes, editor in chief of Food and Chemical Toxicology, agreed with that assessment.

“Given the known high incidence of

tumors in the Sprague-Dawley rat, normal variability cannot be excluded as the cause of the higher mortality and incidence observed in the treated groups.”

Food and Chemical Toxicology said it was not a case of fraud, but the paper was retracted because Seralini used too few rats in his research.

GM Watch, which opposes biotechnology, said the retraction was “unscientific and unethical.”

The organization said in a statement that it’s highly irregular to retract a study because it is inconclusive.

The federal government’s primary disaster relief program for farmers is often too slow to help those in need, says federal auditor general Michael Ferguson.

In a damning report tabled in Parliament last week, he concluded that AgriRecovery seems to work better for large disasters but is slow and unreliable for the rest.

“All producers should be treated equally,” he told a news conference.

“Our audit of disaster assistance to agricultural producers is an example of a program with a disconnect between the program’s objective and its outcome.”

The audit also complained that follow-up measures to assess whether the program payments actually help affected farmers were often lacking.

The average time to assess a disaster and approve payments was 126 days compared to a program target of 45 days.

Ferguson said many producer groups surveyed for the audit voiced frustration at the delays.

“The drought that the assistance was needed for was in 2010 and the need was to try to get assistance for the producers to be able to retain cattle and not have to sell them to get through the winter,” one producer organization told the auditors.

“Assessment and assistance did not happen until the spring of 2011 and most had already sold their cattle to pay the bills.”

Ferguson said the producers who were surveyed like the program in principle but are frustrated by its unpredictability. A decade ago, it was similar complaints about the Canadian Agricultural Income Stabilization program that led governments to launch what they said would be more reliable Growing Forward programs.

In response, Agriculture Canada acknowledged the criticisms but argued that any fix will have to wait five years until the next Growing Forward policy takes effect and changes can be negotiated with the provinces.

“The department recognizes the opportunities to improve the assessment process, particularly for smaller initiatives, and will engage central agencies and provinces to further analyze impediments in the process, update our timelines as required and make process adjustments to meet these targets,” the department said in its official response to the auditor general.

“The target date is March 2018.”

However, in reaction to another criticism about a lack of public reporting on missed AgriRecovery deadlines, the department said it would start to publicly report on delivery performance late next year.

Ferguson suggested at his news conference that it should not take so long to fix the problem.

“Many of the things we identified that are weaknesses, they can be fixed,” he said.

Ferguson lamented the government’s slowness to correct obvious program implementation flaws.

WORLD TRADE ORGANIZATION MEETING | AGRICULTURAL PROPOSALS

WTO progress on agriculture ‘easily solvable’ Failure is not an option | WTO chief says the organization’s reputation is at stake if progress isn’t made this round

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

BALI, Indonesia — Delegates from 159 World Trade Organization countries are debating a modest package of agricultural proposals this week that if approved would mark the first WTO progress in 12 years.

Some influential voices at the meeting argue it is the last chance for the WTO to salvage credibility as a forum for trade negotiations.

The ninth ministerial meeting began Dec. 3 and will end Dec. 6.

On Dec. 3, a senior WTO official warned that the organization will be damaged for years if member countries cannot approve this bundle of “low hanging fruit.”

It could also throw the future of the 12-year Doha Development Round negotiation into grave doubt.

WTO chief spokesperson Keith

Rockwell told reporters a modest agricultural deal is possible and would add new life to the organization.

“The gaps are easily solvable,” he said. “We are close and if we can’t deliver here, it makes one wonder what we could deliver on.”

He said failure will lead countries to abandon WTO multilateral talks for increased bilateral and regional deals.

“Failure could leave us in the cold for years to come.”

Indonesian trade minister Gita Wirjawan, co-chair of the meeting and speaking for a coalition of poor countries, insisted it is possible “to achieve something in the next four days if we pray hard and work hard.

We must be cognizant of coming out of Bali with some sense of achievement when we haven’t accomplished much in the past 12 years.”

The proposals hammered out during months of negotiations include a requirement that countries actually import the levels of low-tariff agricultural products they have committed to through tariff rate quotas.

They also include a commitment that export subsidies will be eliminated, although without a timetable, and measures to help poor countries pursue food security.

To underline how modest the package is, Australian John Adank, chair of the WTO agriculture negotiating committee, said approving the package would not lead to immediate change.

“You won’t have necessarily dealt with them in a conclusive way,” he said in an interview. “But if ministers are prepared to endorse what’s on the table, we can then move on and build on those agreements for the future. It would be progress.”

However, there is no guarantee that members will heed the call to do something to give the organization credibility.

The WTO operates on consensus, it takes only one of the 159 countries to veto a deal.

Canadian agriculture minister Gerry Ritz, who was at the talks with trade minister Ed Fast, remained skeptical of a deal.

Even if one was reached, he added, he doubted that it would inject much l i f e i nt o t h e W TO n e g o t i at i o n launched in 2001 and stuck in neutral since.

“When you haven’t had any solid movement in the WTO — the last outlines were 2005 and 2008 — it’s very difficult for me to say that three days are going to make a difference,” he said.

“It’s good to get everyone under one roof, but the more people talk,

the more ideas change. To capture all that (in an agreement), you’re herding cats.”

If all delegations were to hold their noses and agree to a package, it would mark a break from the WTO tradition of not signing a final deal until everything is agreed.

The lack of progress in the last eight years effectively scuttled a 2005 agreement in Hong Kong to phase out export subsides by this year.

If approved, the part of the agreement that could most affect Canada is the proposal to force countries to live up to their TRQ access deals.

Canada has long complained that Europe offers meat access through a TRQ but never fills the quota.

Adnack said the proposal would allow countries to go to the WTO with a complaint if less than two-thirds of the TRQ commitment is filled after several years.

THE CREATION OF THE WTO • The World Trade Organization was created in 1995 to replace the cumbersome General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade although WTO still administers that 1993 deal.

• WTO has 159 members with Yemen scheduled to become number 160.

• Geneva has hosted three of its nine ministerial meetings at WTO head offices since 1996. Other hosting cities include Singapore, Seattle, Doha, Cancun, Hong Kong and this year Bali, Indonesia.

• The ninth conference in Bali attracted 2,800 delegates, 125 trade and agriculture ministers, and almost 350 non-governmental organization representatives.

• The WTO administers existing trade agreements and rules on trade disputes including Canada’s current battle against the United States’ country-of-origin labelling rules.

• Canada has been on the losing end of some disputes including a judgment that because of domestic prices higher than export world prices, all dairy product exports are deemed subsidized.

• Although a strong WTO supporter and founding member, a Canadian has never been director-general.

WTO | EXPORT SUBSIDY ELIMINATION

Failure to meet export subsidy elimination deadline lamented

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

BALI, Indonesia — The failure of the World Trade Organization to put into effect a 2005 agreement to eliminate export subsidies by 2013 emerged this week as a symbol of the WTO’s decade-long inertia.

Delegates and ministers attending the ninth WTO ministerial conference are considering a simple resolution to recommit to export subsidy elimination but without a deadline.

“We note with deep disappointment that the deadline to implement export subsidy elimination in 2013 as

stipulated in the Hong Kong ministerial declaration was missed and that a legally binding outcome to eliminate export subsidies and all export measures with equivalent effect could not be realized in Bali,” said a statement issued Dec. 2 by the G-33 group of WTO members, one of the sponsors of a modest agricultural package being debated.

The G-20 group of developing agricultural exporters, which includes Brazil, India and Indonesia, added to the complaint.

“G-20 deeply regretted the delay in eliminating all forms of export subsidies as mandated in the … W TO Ministerial Declaration in Hong

Kong,” the group said in a communiqué after a late-afternoon meeting Dec. 2.

“The G-20 re-emphasized that export subsidies are policies that strongly distort international trade.”

Members of the group, including some agricultural powerhouses, see export subsidies as tools used by rich developed countries to dispose of surplus production caused by domestic subsidies.

They called on developed countries to “eliminate export subsidies and other subsidies in the agricultural sector as was mandated in the WTO agreement on agriculture.”

However, WTO agriculture com-

mittee chair John Adank said it is unlikely.

Many of the countries that use or have used export subsidies agreed to their elimination in Hong Kong on the assumption it would be an early concession that would trigger concessions from others in a final WTO deal.

“Because the round wasn’t completed overall, a number of members said we can’t really bring forward what we said we would do in Hong Kong because it was predicated on a package of rules,” Adank said in an interview.”

Unilateral action on subsidies would free other countries from

needing to make their own concessions.

Adank said the result was inclusion of a resolution re-asserting the goal in this week’s proposed mini-agricultural package.

“What has been presented is, if we couldn’t get agreement to do that, we at least could give a very strong symbol that people didn’t want to go backwards on export competition.”

However, the proposal would carry no obligation for action outside of a complete deal, even if it was approved in Bali horse-trading this week.

There has been some revival of using export subsidies as a marketing tool in recent years.

Malting barley supply balloons

Cattle feeders like return to lower cost feed supply

Quantity 150-200 percent of normal | Premium over feed to erode as year-end stocks grow

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Canada is overflowing with malting barley and some of it is going to remain in bins longer than farmers had hoped, say industry officials.

Agriculture Canada estimates growers produced 1.5 to two times more malting barley than normal this year.

Dale Matchett, a malt barley merchant with Richardson International, doesn’t think it was double the normal amount but it could easily be 1.5 times the usual.

That is going to be a problem because barley exports have been extremely slow. Shipments were 38 percent below last year’s pace through Week 16 of the 2013-14 crop year, despite having an additional one million tonnes of barley supply.

“I think we’ll struggle to hit the targets on exports,” he said.

“We need to pick up the pace for the rest of the year.”

Agriculture Canada sees 2.3 million tonnes of exports. Matchett believes it will be closer to two million tonnes, which means carryout will likely be higher than the 1.5 million tonnes Agriculture Canada is forecasting.

“I think we’re going to be close to a two million tonne carryout,” said Matchett.

It doesn’t bode well for the $1 per bushel premium malting barley has over feed barley prices.

“The premium for malting has held up surprisingly well,” he said.

However, he expects the premium will come under pressure in coming months as growers realize how much malting barley is in the system. He advised signing target price contracts and shopping samples around.

Phil de Kemp, president of the Malting Industry Association of Canada, said Canadian maltsters usually buy one million tonnes of malting barley a year and grain companies another 1.2 million for export.

That’s a total demand of 2.2 million tonnes, but farmers likely grew 3.3 to 4.4 million tonnes of malting

quality barley.

“Because of the premiums for malting barley, you wish you could find a home for all of it, and unfortunately with the size of that quality crop, you’re not going to be able to find a home for all of that,” he said.

Bob Sutton, commercial vicepresident of Rahr Malting Co. in Alix, Alta., said the crop has good size and germination and low protein, which is exactly what maltsters want.

The Canadian Grain Commission said the average protein level is 11.1 percent this year, well below the 10-year average of 11.7 percent.

Sutton said it is the best crop he’s seen in all his years in the industry.

“And I’m an old grey hair. I thought the 2011 (crop) was the best one I’d ever seen. This one is actually producing better malt results.”

He expects to be buying it on the spot market well into next fall.

“We can’t go too long on it because we want to maintain our relationship with our growers and make sure if they want to grow barley in the 2014 crop that we have contracts available,” said Sutton.

“But we will be taking some of the overages and having a bit of a longer position than we normally would given that the quality is so good.”

Kevin Sich, manager of Rahr’s grain department, said malting barley cash bids have fallen to about $4.50 per bu. from $6 six months ago.

“That’s how much the market has come down just following the good old corn market and the big supply of barley out there,” he said.

New crop bids aren’t much better.

“It’s spot price plus carry. There might be an extra $10 (per tonne),” said Sich.

He agreed with Matchett that carryout could climb as high as two million tonnes, depending on exports.

Given the huge supply and the grim export outlook, growers might want to consider carrying over the crop for a year at $4.50 a bu. rather than selling it into feed markets for $3.50 a bu.

“A buck a bushel is pretty good interest on your money,” said Sich.

The crop was dry, so it should store well as long as it is kept cool.

Barley growers may need to find export markets

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Malting barley quality may be the best ever. | “If you can preserve germination, you can hold that barley for a couple of years,” he said, adding fierce competition for rail cars and terminal space helped slow exports.

“Barley sometimes gets the raw end of the (deal) on that. There’s not usually a real aggressive book on barley ships early in the year.”

Mounting international competition is also an issue, said de Kemp.

“There’s a new player in town now, and that’s Argentina,” he said. “They have come on like gangbusters.”

A country that annually grew less than one million tonnes of barley before 2006 is estimated to have produced 4.3 million tonnes this year.

Argentina is expected to export 2.6 million tonnes of that, more than 10

times the amount shipped a decade ago.

“The export side of things is getting quite competitive, certainly with Argentina now into the market,” he said.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture expects Australia to export 4.1 million tonnes of barley this year, up from 3.8 million tonnes last year because of a larger crop.

The European Union is expected to ship six million tonnes, which is 1.5 million tonnes more than the previous five-year average.

The United States produced a crop about the same size as last year, but the quality was particularly good and that limits its interest in Canadian barley.

This year’s bountiful harvest is good news for the North American livestock sector.

The surplus of barley and corn means cheaper grain after several years of nearly unaffordable rations and subsequent record losses in the feeding business.

Kenric Exner of Viterra said it is difficult to move all that grain to where it is needed because of a lack of storage and rail cars.

Transportation is over-subscribed because trucks and trains move other commodities besides grain.

There’s also a limit to how much the market can use, he added.

“We had 25 percent more production, but when we look at demand, it is only increasing by four percent,” Exner told the Canfax Market Forum in Calgary Nov. 27.

Feed barley yields were phenomenal, averaging 70 bushels per acre this year because of ideal growing conditions.

“I am projecting 10 million tonnes of production this year,” he said.

The estimate may be higher than what other analysts project, but he believes it is accurate based on reports from Viterra’s elevators.

Feedlots used one million tonnes of wheat last year, but it will likely be replaced with barley this year because it is the cheapest available feed.

He said the U.S. corn harvest was abundant, causing its price to fall, and could drop well below $4 per bushel. That is adding downward pressure to barley.

“Where that (price) floor is, I can’t even speculate. It is all about supply and demand and this glut of inventories and how we are going to work our way through it,” he said.

Duane Lenz of the U.S. market analysis firm Cattlefax said many factors affect the price of corn.

CANFAX MARKET FORUM | CATTLE EXPANSION

Record cattle prices fail to spark herd rebuilding Canadian cows still slaughtered | U.S. starting to retain females for breeding, reducing trim supply for hamburger

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Cattle are selling for record prices and feed supplies are plentiful, but an aging group of North American producers are still hesitant about expanding their herds.

Cow-calf returns improved in Canada this year by about $150 per head.

Speculation was Canadian producers might move to expand ahead of their American counterparts, but that is not the case, said market analyst Brian Perillat of Canfax.

“The disappointing side of this is our cow herd is still shrinking. We think we are going to be down one percent,” he told the annual Canfax Market Forum in Calgary Nov. 27.

Projections for this year indicate high cow slaughter rates and more culls moving south. Herds may be culled by 15 percent.

“That is a liquidation mode of culling rate,” he said.

However, American producers might begin minor expansion by 2015, said Duane Lenz of Cattlefax.

This year’s U.S. cow slaughter has declined sharply, which indicates breeding females are being kept for another year. The result is higher cow and trim prices. The U.S. will have to import more trim to supply the demand for ground meat.

“We are still a hamburger nation,” Lenz said. “ That is what people want. If rounds and chucks get low enough, we are going to grind them.”

A smaller cow herd means fewer calves, fewer steers and heifers to go on feed and reduced slaughter.

“We think next year we are going to be about half a million down in slaughter,” Lenz said.

Canada also has excess finishing capacity and is expected to kill 2.5 million head this year. It may fall to two million next year, which could hurt the country’s feeding and packing infrastructure.

However, Perillat said Canadian feedlots that want to continue are fairly full, even though 21 have closed or switched to backgrounding operations.

“We have more cattle on feed than a year ago,” he said. “We have large volumes of cattle coming to market.”

The reduced cattle numbers and slaughter has pushed retail beef prices higher.

U.S. beef is averaging $4.98 per pound, pork $3.44 per lb. and broilers $1.93 per lb.

Consumers will look at pork or poultry if beef becomes too expensive. As a result, beef demand is expected to decline next year.

“There is going to be more protein out there for people; it will just be in a different form,” Lenz said.

He said beef carcass weights have not dropped as much as was expect-

FEWER COWS ON FARMS

ed when the growth supplement Zilmax was pulled from the market earlier this year. However the grades have improved, so more Choice grades are available.

The big news for the year has been record prices for fat cattle in the U.S. The daily Kansas fed cattle price was $131 per hundredweight for the week of Nov. 18 and might yet hit $132 or more. However, Lenz said bids may be $127 to $130 per cwt. by early February, depending on the weather.

“There is going to be a lot of discussion about whether we can get to $140, but I doubt it,” he said.

Cattlefax predicts the annual average fed price will be $126-$129 per cwt. next year.

“I think we will sell a lot of cattle between $125-$135,” he said.

“In the U.S., we all get kind of greedy and we all think these prices of $132 to $135 will last. Look at where we were three years ago, fed cattle prices averaged 85 cents (per pound). We got to a dollar, we thought that was the end of the world.”

Feeder cattle prices also improved because an ample harvest reduced corn prices. Feedlots are making money again after tremendous losses the last two years.

Lenz said the average price range on a 750 lb. steer will be $150 to $178 per cwt. and a 550 lb. calf could be $190 with a higher range in the northern Plains depending on what the weather does.

Bred cow prices are on the upswing by $100 to $150 per head, which means they could be worth around $1,600 next year. The limiting factor is whether there is grass. Canadians should consider sending bred cows south because they are needed.

Slaughter cow prices could reach record highs next year because of demand and short supply.

The short supply of mature animals

could force cow plants to close next year because there is too much packing capacity in the U.S. right now.

Lenz also said some regional plants could be in trouble.

Cattle prices in Canada have been good but nothing to compare with what is happening in the U.S. The record price for finished cattle hit $125 per cwt. in Alberta, but Perillat said that may be the peak.

It will take a lot for feedlots to recover a year’s worth of serious losses, which dipped close to $300 per head over the summer.

“Profitability in the feedlot sector has been abysmal,” he said.

Losses occurred even when feedlots had cattle and grain contracts.

More cattle are presold by contract to earn a premium over the cash market. The low number of cash traded cattle makes it difficult to chart trends or discover prices.

The cost of gain, basis and currency

are considered when projecting Canadian fed cattle prices. Prices look good but are adjusted downward from the U.S. because of the wide basis.

The effects of country-of-origin labelling also need to be taken into account because U.S. buyers tend to discount their Canadian purchases.

Feeding costs are competitive because corn and barley prices are close to equal, but he said COOL is a disadvantage.

The Canada-to-U.S. basis has been volatile this year, and Canfax calculates that a basis level of minus $18 costs a feedlot up to $150 per head relative to what American feedlots would get.

Consequently, fat cattle prices have been flat for the last couple years over the summer. Average fed cattle prices were $118 per cwt. this year, down from predictions of around $122 per cwt.

Cow prices are trending higher, but there is quite a discount this time of year.

The price for a 550 lb. steer is trending higher but has not encouraged ranchers to produce more calves.

Manitoba is seeing strong support because of competition from U.S. and Ontario buyers.

The future looks rosier for cow-calf producers, but they need to remember that there is a three cent per lb. change in calf prices for every one cent change in the loonie. Basis has been $3 wider than last year, which translates into a 7.5 cent per lb. loss in calf prices.

Canada remains export dependent despite the uncertainty created by COOL, exporting 40 percent of total production as live and boxed beef.

The Americans have been willing to buy more live cattle because their plants need them to run efficiently.

If it were not for ethanol taking more than a third of the corn crop, it would trade at around $3 US, but it is likely to average $4.25 a bu. next year.

If the spring is dry it could rise to $4.95, Lenz said.

“We think the low will be $3.50 and we will spend a lot of time at $4.25,

give or take a little.”

More acres are going into feed corn in Manitoba and Saskatchewan, which will also need a home. It is unlikely any American corn will come north.

“In years like this, it is very difficult for us to import U.S. corn and put it into the Alberta feed market,” Exner said.

Barley has turned into a land locked crop in Canada with a large proportion going to the western feed market.

Exner is bearish on exports to the U.S. because of its large corn crop and limited rail cars available to move it south.

He is more optimistic about offshore exports to places such as Japan and Saudi Arabia. The Saudis import eight million tonnes of barley a year.

China is a major importer of Canadian malt barley and may be looking for feed barley this year for the first time.

RECORD SLAUGHTER PRICES Tight cattle supply has pushed slaughter cattle prices in Canada and the United States to record highs. But with access to the U.S. limited by COOL, the benefit in Canada lags.

Tight supplies maintain oat price Cash price steady | With little crop moving to the U.S., buyers are willing to pay a premium

Exports inconsistent despite demand

BY DAN YATES

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Heavy demand for rail cars is supporting Canadian prices on oats moving south, say officials.

“I’ve been surprised how well oats has held,” said Art Enns, president of the Prairie Oat Growers Association.

Southern Manitoba producers are seeing prices of $3.40 to $3.50 a bushel.

Oats have historically averaged 60 percent of the value of corn but have had a multi-month run of 70 percent or more this year.

Brian Voth, a marketing adviser with Agri-Trend, said his clients have sold 70 percent of their oat crop from this season, averaging $3.70 per bu.

He expects growers to hold onto the remaining crop.

“I don’t think you’ll see the cash prices really drop substantially,” he said.

“There is a lot of demand for oats, and the supply side is not that big.”

Area seeded to the crop rose about 4.6 percent to three million acres this year but was still down significantly from historical numbers, pushed out by new crops and shorter rotations.

Voth said supplies are tight to the United States, Canada’s largest oat buyer.

“The reason you’ve seen the cash price so strong this fall is because of the logistics problems on the rail side. Elevators aren’t shipping out oats,” he said.

“So (buyers in northern states), they’ve been paying premiums on spot markets to get stuff down there.”

He’s aware of an elevator south of Winnipeg that was trucking oats into South Dakota.

“They’re just bypassing the elevator,” he said.

“Obviously, that’s how much they needed it down there.”

Enns said American millers he spoke with this fall had concerns about supply after a large Canadian harvest.

Canadian oat exports to Mexico are small and inconsistent.

However, Prairie Oat Growers Association president Art Enns says the human food market has potential for Canadian growers.

Most oat exports go to the United States, but the 32,000 tonnes that were shipped to Mexico last year was good enough to make it Canada’s second biggest customer.

“We noticed that Mexico’s imports of Canadian oats was erratic,” said Enns. The country would import a regular amount each year, but Canada’s share of the total would vary greatly.

“So we’re trying to bring that level up to be a little bit more consistent.”

More than 23,000 tonnes were moved at the start of last year with subsequent shipments becoming smaller. Monthly totals for this year peaked at 1,083 tonnes in July and bottomed out at 260 tonnes in August.

Enns said Canadian exports have represented 25 to 75 percent of Mexico’s needs.

“We’d certainly like to be in there close to the top, anyways,” said Enns.

“I’d like to have more than our fair share of the market.”

Enns and other POGA delegates recently returned from a trade mission to Mexico, touring Guadalajara and Mexico City and meeting with processors.

Enns was impressed with the number of oat products on store shelves in Mexico, which has a large population and recently approved a tax on high calorie food.

He said Australia and Chile are competitors in the market.

“Chile, for instance, does have oats for export, but it’s very short term,” said Enns.

“It might be right after the harvest for a couple of months. They export whatever they have extra and that’s it.”

Analysts are expecting oat prices to remain steady because of small stocks. | He recently returned from a trip to Mexico, Canada’s second biggest oats buyer, where he spoke with processors.

“People weren’t complaining about the transportation as much.

The larger companies all said that they were still getting their stuff on a regular and timely basis,” he said.

“So it kind of surprised us a little bit.”

A Statistics Canada report from November pegged oat production at 3.3 million tonnes, up 16 percent, but because of low carry in stocks total supply is expected to increase by only four percent over last year’s historically small volume. Agriculture Canada expects the tight supply will limit price declines.

Producer’s deadline.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture continues to project cash prices as high as $3.50 per bushel.

“With the pricing the way it is now, it may attract a little bit more acres next year, maybe away from wheat or barley,” said Voth.

“But I think it’s going to depend on what happens with prices over the winter.”

EXPORTS | PULSES

Transportation and quality issues result in smaller pulse shipments from Russia Changing conditions | Russian pulse exports, down dramatically from last year, are expected to remain at lower levels

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Russia’s pulse exports are tapering off after storming onto the world stage in 2011 and 2012.

Shipments from January through September of this year were 364,210 tonnes, down 34 percent from the same period last year, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Marlene Boersch, a partner in Mercantile Consulting Venture Inc., said exports are down because of a combination of smaller crops last year and this year and a poor quality harvest last year.

Russia’s pulse production fell to 2.17 million tonnes last year, down from 2.47 million tonnes the previous year, according to the USDA. There are no official statistics for this year, but Boersch has heard from

trade sources that it is probably around 1.6 million tonnes.

It means there probably won’t be a big export program in 2013-14.

There is also stiff competition for transportation infrastructure.

SovEcon estimates Russia harvested nearly 90 million tonnes of grain this year, up from about 71 million tonnes last year.

Boersch said shippers need to prioritize what moves, and pulses don’t appear to be high on the list.

“They have been very aggressive on wheat into the Middle East, for example,” she said.

The poor quality of last year’s crop is also preventing pulse movement.

“There were lots of complaints in India,” said Boersch.

Indian buyers are reluctant to forward purchase this year ’s crop because of the problems they had

with last year’s crop. They will buy elsewhere if product is being sold for a similar price.

Peas accounted for 80 percent of Russian pulse production last year.

The remaining 20 percent isn’t broken down by crop.

Chickpea production has grown faster than any other pulse crop in the last five years because of strong demand from the Middle East, according to analysts consulted by the USDA. Russia exported 32 percent of its pulse production last year. The remainder was consumed domestically by the livestock sector or sold for human consumption.

Peas accounted for 77 percent of last year’s exports, followed by chickpeas at 21 percent and lentils at two percent.

Russia shipped almost no pulses for many years, but that started to change

around 2009. Exports increased 10-fold to a high of 770,846 tonnes last year from 73,680 tonnes in 2008.

It is the result of a sharp increase in production. Russian farmers grew a lot of pulses before the demise of the Soviet Union, reaching a high of almost five million tonnes in 1990.

The Soviet Union collapsed the following year and so did pulse production, plummeting to a low of 880,000 tonnes by 1999.

Boersch said pulses and other crops were heavily subsidized under the old regime.

“When the Soviet Union crumbled, they took all of the subsidies away immediately,” she said.

“There was a major meltdown in those first 10 years.”

Production began to climb again in 2000, reaching a high of 2.47 million tonnes in 2011. It has fallen off the last

two years.

Boersch is surprised by the rapid revival of Russia’s pulse industry, but she doesn’t expect it to return to the five million tonne level anytime soon because of stiff competition from crops such as wheat, barley, sunflowers and corn, which are cheaper to grow, better yielding or both.

India had been the biggest buyer of Russian pulses, but that changed this year when Turkey took over the top spot, accounting for 41 percent of pea exports, 65 percent of chickpea exports and 43 percent of lentil exports.

Shipments to Turkey are convenient. Transportation time is only a few days from Russia’s Black Sea ports.

Boersch thinks there could be a lot of pulse container business into Turkey in the future as exporters bypass some of the bottlenecks associated with bulk shipments.

Negatives stacking up on canola

FED CATTLE POST RECORDS

MARKET WATCH

D’ARCE McMILLAN

U

nless there is a surpr ise weather disaster somewhere in the world, we are looking at rapidly rebuilding world grain and oilseed stocks.

That means prices could continue to fall from where they are today and canola won’t escape the downturn.

Canada produced a record large crop, but sales are not posting records. Exports are running about 430,000 tonnes behind last year’s pace, and domestic crush is about 228,000 tonnes behind.

Reduced shipments to Mexico, Japan and the United Arab Emirates appear to be the reason for the export slowdown, while exports to China and the United States are up slightly.

Agriculture Canada had already predicted in October that canola carryout stocks would more than double to 1.4 million tonnes from a tight 608,000 at the end of 2012-13. However, that number will be adjusted higher to account for Statistics Canada’s larger crop estimate this week.

Strong U.S. soybean exports and a

modest rally in palm oil futures recently propped up the market.

However, Thomas Mielke, executive director of analytic firm Oil World, predicted last week that prices will fall if the record soybean seeded area in South America produces a record crop.

Mielke thinks soybean prices will likely drop to $11.50 a bushel by June from $13.25 early this week.

New crop November 2014 soybean futures are already at that level — a 13 percent drop from the current January price. Applying that to canola futures would drop the price to about $425 per tonne.

Mielke thinks world soybean production may climb 7.3 percent from last season to a record 286.5 million tonnes.

Brazilian growers are in the home stretch of seeding their soybean crop, and Brazilian analysts are increasing their production forecasts, thanks to good moisture. Also, a huge spraying campaign appears to have checked the threat from an outbreak of a caterpillar that feeds on soybeans.

In all this price gloom, one oilseed analyst is more upbeat about the market, at least for the winter.

Dorab Mistry, who heads the vegetable oil trading arm at Indian conglomerate Godrej Industries, is probably the leading palm oil analyst.

Speaking at a meeting in Indonesia last week, he said leading palm producers Indonesia and Malaysia are

expected to soon increase the mandated content of palm oil in biodiesel, while Brazil is also expected to increase the soy oil content in its biodiesel.

Argentina already made such a move this week.

Mistry sees palm futures climbing 13 percent by March if these biodiesel mandates are revised to the maximums proposed. It would help offset the depressing effect of the large South American soybean crop.

However, he believes the support would soon fade as Indonesian production, which is currently lower than expected, revives later in 2014.

Mistry expects lower prices by June, but he also cautioned that the South American crop is many months from harvest and weather could always present problems.

However, Canadian growers can’t count on that, nor can they expect support from corn prices because stocks of that grain are also growing.

The weakening Canadian dollar might provide modest support. Several banks believe the loonie will fall against the U.S. dollar in 2014, which would increase the value of Canadian grain priced in loonies.

Ho w e v e r, Ca n a d i a n f a r m e r s should be thinking overall about ways to minimize their costs going into next year’s growing season.

Fall non-fed slaughter volumes are expected to seasonally tighten.

FEEDER PRICES FIRM Auction volumes fell and average feeder prices rose. Calves 300-400 pounds were mixed with steers $1.25 per cwt. higher while heifers fell.

Calves 400-600 lb. were generally steady to 75 cents lower, while 600800 lb. were steady to $1 higher.

Feeders heavier than 800 lb. rose more than $1. All feeder steers heavier than 600 lb. were more than $12 higher than the same week last year.

Alberta auction volume fell four percent to 64,727 head, which was three percent more than the same week last year.

Weekly feeder exports to Nov. 16 were about steady at 10,196 head. So far this year exports are 107 percent larger than last year at 262,912 head.

Auction volumes typically fall through December, and with only three full trading weeks remaining before Christmas, year-end buying interest is expected to intensify.

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, quality yearling bulls sold as high as $2 per lb. liveweight, while quality heifers sold as high as $1.80 with some bulls and heifers selling 10 cents lower.

Fed cattle hit new record highs and have been higher than $120 per hundredweight for seven consecutive weeks.

Fed steers averaged $126.47, up $1.81, and heifers averaged $126.42, up $2.34. Rallying cattle futures and the softer Canadian dollar firmed asking prices.

Flat bids with no grading discounts encouraged producers to market short fed, green yearlings.

Procurement and slaughter strategies from the two big western Canadian packers have differed over the past couple of weeks. One has relied on its contracted cattle and ramped up non-fed production, while the other has been aggressive on the fed cash market, which has helped maintain the A grade slaughter.

Fed cattle bought on the cash market are being lifted in about a week.

Cash supplies last week were generally cleaned up, and in some instances lists were oversold.

Cash-to-futures basis levels weakened $1.95 to close the week at -$14.65. That is wider than the five year average of -$10.34.

Market-ready supplies for December should remain manageable.

This should be supportive near term because strong feeder prices in August and September saw yearlings placed at lighter weights than normal.

Retailers are covering beef needs for Christmas.

PROTECTED SEED | FARMER-SAVED OPTIONS

CRAIG’S VIEW

Farmers need more control over public seed options

I

t’s been argued, rightfully, that Canada had best pay close attention to creating a research friendly environment lest private investment trickle away to overseas competitors.

Innovative solutions that strike the right balance between protecting seed breeders’ rights and maintaining a wide range of farmer options must be a priority.

Both parties must be successful if either is to have any chance.

The federal government has made it an expressed priority to encourage private investment, while reducing public spending on seed research and development.

In its eagerness to cut its own costs, it must be careful not to ignore the negative consequences.

Federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz has said he hopes to have new plant breeders’ rights protections, as outlined under UPOV 91, in place by next August.

They are regulations designed to provide assurances that breeding companies will be able to generate revenue from expensive and time consuming research and development efforts.

However, farmer-saved seed is the main sticking point. There are allowances for it in UPOV 91, but pitfalls remain.

First among them is seed companies’ ability to collect end-user royalties on protected seed. If farmers have not paid the royalty when they bought the seed, seed companies could force them to pay it on harvested grain.

On the surface, this isn’t asking farmers to pay for more than what they already do.

Farmers are familiar with signing contracts when buying protected seed.

However, the shifting of power toward seed companies comes at the same time that the federal government is pulling away from public research.

As more and more public varieties are deregistered over the years and with no new public varieties coming on stream, farmers will have fewer and fewer public, royalty free seed choices.

The added costs of protected seed will become almost unavoidable for most conventional farmers.

They appear headed to that spot between a rock and a hard place, where they have less control over the seed breeding and registration system while also having fewer options available in public seed.

UPOV, or the International Union for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants, works under the mission statement “to provide and promote an effective system of plant variety protection, with the aim of encouraging the development of new varieties of plants, for the benefit of society.”

However, the UPOV 91 provisions designed to protect farmer-saved seed will offer nothing of significance if all the power ends up with the seed companies.

As well, the proposals place more onus on seed cleaners to verify the authenticity of seed in custom cleaning work.

Yes, there are huge advantages for farmers when they have access to the latest agronomic and genetic advances that high quality seed can provide.

However, the current language that “may permit farmers, on their own farms, to use part of their harvest of a protected variety for the planting of a further crop” is subject to “reasonable limits and requires that the legitimate interests of the breeder are safeguarded” tilt the playing field too far.

Farmers deserve more ownership and decision-making powers.

UPOV91 is a barn door flung wide open.

Can the horse be far behind?

It is possible “to achieve something in the next four days if we pray hard and work hard. We must be cognizant of coming out of Bali with some sense of achievement when we haven’t accomplished much in the past 12 years.”

WORLD TRADE ORGANIZATION MEETING | BREAKING THE STALEMATE

Consensus among WTO membership unlikely, even with help from above NATIONAL VIEW

BARRY WILSON

B

ALI, Indonesia — Indonesian trade minister Gita Wirjawan, who co-chaired this week’s World Trade Organization meeting, may be onto something about reviving WTO fortunes.

Explaining to reporters Dec. 2 why he thinks a deal can be reached on a modest agricultural package, he said it is possible “if we pray hard and work hard.”

Later, pressed about his optimism in the face of 12 years of WTO failure to agree to almost anything, he replied with a smile: “I believe in God.” Is a new WTO agreement on trade and domestic subsidy rules a big enough deal to invoke divine intervention?

Critics of multilateralism as a sellout to Big Capitalist forces at the expense of “the people” see it as the devil’s work.

However, there is a certain blind theological faith among those true believers who support a multinational deal as the only way to make the food production system around the world fair and give efficient farmers a level playing field in the fight for market share against perceived subsidized competitors.

To experience that, take a New Zealander to lunch and slip the words “supply management” into the conversation.

Although Canadian farm opinions can sometimes be more nuanced, there certainly is some of that blind faith here, too.

As usual, Canadian agriculture has a larger contingent of farm lobbyists at the WTO meeting in Bali than any other country: some exporters are there to promote less policy-fettered trade, while supply management folks warily watch to make sure their essential border protections are not dismantled or eroded.

It never hurts to pray in hopes of divine intervention — what is there to lose? — but maybe the prayers would be better directed to have Her inject some wisdom into politicians

to finally consider whether the structure of the WTO is a major part of the problem.

Of course, fixing it would be even more politically unlikely than finding a new comprehensive trade deal, but at this point no one is even willing to get the discussion going.

It simply would remind people of the legacy of the WTO and its predecessor as a clubhouse for rich developed traders who set the rules and reaped the benefits.

Now, the pendulum has swung too much the other way.

It is the ultimate democratic organization in which every one of the 159 member states has a veto.

The core of the current stalemate is a battle between developed, developing and least developed countries over whether the latter should in the name

of development be largely exempt from any rules to limit rich country ability to protect markets and subsidize production. However, the “paralysis,” as WTO official Keith Rockwell called it Dec. 2, will continue.

There is little common ground.

And with the WTO membership expanding to include countries with lower economic output than Brandon, but that will have a veto, consensus on anything major seems impossible.

The WTO has largely lost its way on the political front, while remaining robust on rules enforcement, and those who applaud the democracy that will force it to become an agent for world economic justice are dreaming.

On second thought, this may be way too big, complicated and hopeless for divine intervention.

SCIENTIFIC DEBATE | PUBLIC INPUT

Showing good animal care important

Expressing view on worthwhile issue effective

BY CAM DAHL

A

nimal care issues in the Manitoba beef industry have been in the news lately, with a guilty plea entered in a court case stemming from incidents in 2011.

The details of the case are horrific, with more than 60 cattle dead from starvation and an almost equal number found close to death.

Manitoba Beef Producers deplores these actions. Those who abuse animals in this way should be subject to the full weight of the law.

I never want to hear of any case of neglect or abuse of cattle. Unfortunately, these cases, while they are rare exceptions, have occurred and will occur. MBP will not attempt to defend or explain away animal abuse. When incidents happen, the chief veterinarian’s office should take every measure to ensure that animals are protected and that those involved are held accountable for their actions.

These rare cases are not a demonstration of how beef cattle are raised.

Individual cases like this should not tarnish the industry’s strong reputation on animal care issues held by the vast majority of the 8,000 plus families raising beef cattle in Manitoba.

I don’t know any beef producer who would defend these actions. The beef producers I work with on a daily basis care deeply about the welfare of the animals under their care. In fact, most producers have chosen to raise cattle because of the care they have for animals.

The public does not often see the care and attention that cattle producers give, on a daily basis, to their animals. Media outlets don’t cover pro-

Cattle producers care about the welfare of their animals and the updated beef Code of Practice will educate industry and consumers on regulations regarding animal care, says the author. | FILE PHOTO ducers getting up at 4 a.m. in the middle of a blizzard to check their herd, or the efforts taken to help a calf that is born in the middle of a -40 C night. Unfortunately, most members of the public only get exposure to beef production when the media covers unacceptable incidents that end up in court.

Beef producers need to communicate with the public to ensure that everyone understands that the court cases are rare exceptions that do not exemplify beef production in Manitoba.

This is a key reason why the industry has developed a Code of Practice for the Care and Handling of Beef Cattle. It is an important tool for explaining our animal care practices to the public and policy-makers and demonstrating our practices to customers and trading partners.

The beef Code of Practice has recently been modernized through

the National Farm Animal Care Council (NFACC). A revised code was released Sept. 6. The NFACC beef code development committee includes beef producers, governments, scientists, veterinarians, animal welfare enforcement groups such as SPCAs, the Canadian Federation of Humane Societies and our customers, such as restaurants and retail food distributors.

Some people may think that this broad representation on the committee is odd. Why are restaurants, retail distributors, SPCAs and the Canadian Federation of Humane Societies all around the table when the industry is codifying the correct and humane way to raise cattle?

They are there because it is critical to the beef industry that civil society and our customers accept and agree with the final outcome.

And they have agreed. The revised code represents a consensus of these

diverse groups. The process for revising the code was open and transparent with 400 individuals and organizations providing feedback on the earlier draft versions of the document. This of course includes MBP — we made our own submissions on behalf of the province’s beef producers.

The beef industry may have previously shied away from talking about animal care issues and how producers raise their cattle. We cannot do that anymore because the public — our customers — are increasingly interested in knowing how cattle are raised.

More people are asking the question: “Where does my food come from?” We need to provide clear answers to this question.

2014 STRATEGY | PRICE OUTLOOK

Price outlook may prompt one to lock in prices HURSH ON AG

irtually every cropping option looked profitable a year ago.

Looking ahead to next year, however, we might want to ask Santa Claus for a sharper pencil.

Marketing and moving the huge 2013 crop is still foremost in the minds of producers, but cropping and marketing options for next growing season will come under increasing scrutiny in the weeks ahead.

Saskatchewan’s agriculture ministry publishes a Crop Planning Guide in January, basing its price assumptions on information and analysis from early December, right around now.

Unfortunately, most crops are in the underachieving category.

Wheat prices for crop planning purposes as estimated one year ago were $7.15 per bushel on spring wheat, $7.35 on durum and $6.80 on Canada Prairie Spring wheat. These were reasonable assumptions at the time, but far higher than what the marketplace is now offering.

Top quality spring wheat and durum with strong protein are less than $6, and most of this year’s production has lower protein and is worth even less. Wheat that’s going into ethanol or feed markets has dropped an even greater amount.

Feed barley and oats one year ago had new crop estimated prices of $4.50 and $2.90, respectively. That’s reasonably close for top quality milling oats, depending upon freight, but feed barley in Saskatchewan is scarcely higher than $3 in most locations.

Canola in the 2013 Crop Planning Guide was pegged at $12 a bushel. It probably seemed conservative at the

time, but current canola prices have been generally less than $10.50.

As we project forward to next fall, there are few reasons to anticipate drastic price increases in wheat, durum, feed barley, oats or canola.

Anything can happen, but for budgeting purposes, most of us will use price projections close to the current values.

Yields were far higher than normal this year, but 2014 margins take a big hit when pencilling in average yields at prevailing prices.

Lentil prices are soft at 18 to 19 cents a pound. Chickpeas are hard to sell at any price.

Canaryseed is disappointing at 23 or 24 cents a lb. but still compares favourably with other cereal options.

A few crops have held their value better than expected.

Flax is one of these overachievers at prices around $13 a bu. You have to think more flax will be seeded in the upcoming year.

Yellow pea prices have declined substantially over the past year and

are in the $6.25 range. Green pea prices have declined as well but not by as much as many had expected.

Seed supply was tight and very costly, so that may have limited acreage.

Green peas are still around $12 a bu., and there have been some new crop contracts at around $9. Expect more producers to try green peas.

Mustard prices have also held up better than other crops.

Fertilizer prices are down substantially from a year ago, so that will help on the cost side of the equation.

There may also be some pressure on cash rents, but competition for land has been fierce and it will take awhile for rents to fall into line with the reduced margins. As well, many cash rents are multi-year deals.

Being risk adverse, I’ve locked in some new crop prices that I consider profitable. It was a good strategy for 2013. Time will tell for 2014.

illes Eric Seralini’s article on his study that purportedly found high mortality among rats exposed to glyphosate and genetically modified corn came close to making his name a household word.

The article, published in the journal Food and Chemical Toxicology, went viral and since November 2012 has been a focal point for the debate swirling around whether, and how, to base food policy on science. The question is, if that is the only way to devise decent policy, whose science do we base it on?

Last week, Elsevier, publisher of the journal, retracted the article.

The main reason revolved around the small sample size. Too few rats were exposed to NK603 corn or glyphosate to determine their effects on mortality or tumour incidence.

“Given the known high incidence of tumours in the Sprague-Dawley rat, normal variability cannot be excluded as the cause of the higher mortality and incidence observed in the treated groups,” said Elsevier in its news release.

Therefore, the journal found, the results of Seralini et al.’s study are inconclusive. Therefore, the journal is retracting the article.

What is fascinating is how much influence respondents to the article had, largely in the form of letters to the editor, which were also published. Many letters asked for a retraction of the paper.

The journal’s editor decided, due to those concerns, to examine the peerreview process and raw data from the study, and that led to the retraction.

“The letters to the editor, both pro and con, serve as a post-publication peer-review,” said Elsevier. “The back and forth between the readers and the author has a useful and valuable place in our scientific dialog.”

Seralini’s name has appeared many times in The Western Producer, both in stories about his findings and in several opinion pieces and letters to the editor. The debate over glyphosate and GM crops rages on, liberally peppered with passion and sometimes frustration and often anger, on both sides of the scientific divide.

Yet these debates must be had, and it is important that there are forums to host them. It is rare that an issue is so clear that all signs point to one conclusion. This study’s results, originally approved for publication and then retracted, is an excellent example. It also shows that when you get involved in a worthwhile debate, there may, sometimes, actually be a measurable outcome.

CANADIAN BOARS OUR OWN

Letters should be less than 300 words. Name, address and phone number must be included for verification purposes and only letters accepted for publication will be confirmed with the author.

To the Editor:

Open letters should be avoided; priority will be given to letters written exclusively for the Producer.

Editors reserve the right to reject or edit any letter for clarity, brevity, legality and good taste. Cuts will be indicated by ellipsis (…)

Publication of a letter does not imply endorsement by the Producer.

As a longtime farmer and livestock agent from near Shelburne, Ont., I read with a very, very special interest your article on Australian wild boar hunter, Mr. Scott Leggett, and his rather rude comments about the Alberta wild boar situation.

Now, don’t get me wrong, Mr. Leggett may know the Australian wild boar situation, but I really do doubt if he has the experience that I have in raising wild boar and thousands of Canadian domestic hogs at my family farms in Dufferin County in southern Ontario.

I doubt very, very much that the wild hogs loose up in Alberta will be able to

produce and multiply like they would in Australia, but perhaps so.

As I did mention before, in my last letter to the editor, perhaps let’s sit down, as ranchers and farmers of Canadian wild boar, and let’s get an answer to the problems. Perhaps a controlled hunt, as I do recall the majestic wild boar may have roamed Canada before we did.

And yes, the Australian wild hogs are different than mine and the Canadian ones, and oh yes, are way more vicious.

So perhaps Mr. Leggett should stay in Australia and hunt his wild boars and let us Canadian boys look after our boar problems.

Yes indeed, and as I do say, no disrespect to Mr. Leggett, but we can likely

look after our boar situation. We really do not need too much advice.

in 40 years and are investing more in research than ever before.

The centrepiece of our agriculture agenda is Growing Forward 2, Canada’s new agriculture policy framework. Working with industry, the provinces and territories, we identified key priorities to foster a strong agricultural future for Canada.

GF2 is providing some $3 billion over the next five years for strategic investments in research, marketing, and competitiveness.

We continue to open up new markets for our top quality goods through the most ambitious trade agenda in Canadian history.

In addition, we have supported our supply managed sectors in all negotiations, ensuring the three pillars of supply management remain intact.

Our government and our party always treat agriculture with the respect it deserves. Agriculture is more than just an industry to be debated biannually at a convention, and agriculture factors into the decisions we make every day.

In addition, our government ensures that industry remains fully engaged in all decisions taken to further Canadian agriculture. At meetings here in Canada or on trade missions around the world, industry representatives play an important role in providing insight into the directions our government takes on their behalf.

This is in sharp contrast to the NDP and Liberals, who vote against the interests of Canadian producers every chance they get. Their opposition, however misguided, will not stop our government from continuing to listen and respond to the needs of our farmers, ranchers and the industry overall.

We will continue to work together with producers and the entire value chain to ensure a bright future for Canadian agriculture.

To the Editor: Re: WP op-ed Oct. 31, Greenpeace Golden Rice stance baffling.

It was disturbing to see the omissions of fact and other inaccuracies in the opinion piece promoting GM Golden Rice.

Perhaps the author is unaware that according to the International Rice Research Institute, which oversees the golden rice trials, “it has not been determined whether daily consumption of Golden Rice does improve the vitamin A status of people who are vitamin A deficient and could therefore reduce related conditions such as night blindness.”

Furthermore, it is still not known if it is safe or even if it will be acceptable to those suffering from malnourishment and vitamin A deficiency, the result of poverty combined with poor food distribution and access.

It has been admitted by university officials that those Tufts-affiliated researchers, applauded by (Patrick) Moore in his article, violated scientific ethics laws by feeding genetically modified rice to 72 children in China between the ages of six and eight without their or their families’ informed consent in the study on Golden Rice.

Those researchers have now been

banned from conducting research on human subjects for two years.

I urge the author to review and help promote the report by the International Assessment of Agricultural Science and Technology for Development, which draws on the expertise of 400 scientists from 60 countries.

The report concludes genetically modified crops will not address the challenges of climate change, biodiversity loss, hunger or poverty and urges the world’s governments to redirect funding and efforts away from the destructive chemical dependent one-size-fits-all model of agriculture and towards a system which embraces small-scale farmers and agro-ecological methods.

That is, if he is truly interested in feeding the world’s poor.

NUTRITION DEFICIENT To the editor: Re: No room in science for provocateurs, November 21, 2013.

Has any biotech company, AgriFood Canada or the University of Saskatchewan done any trans-generational diet studies? I suspect all our food is so deficient in nutrient content, the results from these studies will be inconclusive or similar.

We already have the species we require to function, we need to focus on soil health and nutrition rather than genetic manipulation and chemical treatments.

Transfer of soil nutrients to the sewer and waterways, without replenishment, is our shortfall in achieving sustainable agriculture. Correct nutrition will solve the problems behind the symptoms technology is trying to treat.

Science has become the realm of

spin-doctors and risk management strategies for individuals and corporations. If someone is trumpeting “science based” it seems to be out of arrogance, ignorance or greed.

PAY ATTENTION To the Editor: This letter is a request for all Saskatchewan landowners to pay attention to the public review of the Surface Rights Act. Some of you may know that this legislation is currently open for comment.

The government chose a comment period of Aug.15 to Nov. 30. Giving rural Saskatchewan only the fall to examine this legislation is a good indication of how much they really want to hear from us.

Just to give you a feel for how this “review process” is going, I am including a paragraph from the government’s discussion paper and the first question from their online submission form. The contradiction is quite clear, and troubling.

Discussion paper: “This review is not intended to redefine the property rights held by the participants in the surface rights process. ...”

First online question: “Is the list of surface rights acquired under the act appropriate to support mineral exploration and development? If not, what additional surface rights should be included in the legislation?”

A bit one-sided, to say the least.

They do not ask if any existing surface rights should be excluded. And there definitely are some that should be.

As a landowner, I can assure you that the list of surface rights already

granted to mineral holders is more than enough to support mineral development. With the rights granted under the current legislation, the government can already order you, as a private property owner, to accept another business’s transportation infrastructure without any annual compensation. It can also order you to accept another business’s waste without any record, control or payment for what is dumped.

It is not clear what “additional rights” might be considered.… If the government has any intention of further limiting our property rights, it should be clear in its intention and let rural Saskatchewan comment on that ; not sneak away more of our property rights under a “review” of existing legislation.

T

he university professor asked if she could conduct a story-telling workshop with members of our church, but she wasn’t quite prepared for what we had to offer.

Our congregation was made up of people of all ages, and even the children were vocal. These folks had grown up to together and could more or less complete each other’s stories, yet each had something unique to offer.

When the oldest member suddenly announced it was time for tea, and jumped up to stoke the fire, the workshop ended.

Next morning I received a call from a down-in-the-mouth presenter who though the event was a failure: no opening exercise to get to know each other, she’d never had kids in other groups and there was no closing procedure.

“This is the way things happen in the country,” I replied.

“Not only did the event go well, but I’ve already heard about three decisions made by phone that pertain to things needing to be done.”

Another occasion comes to mind. I was invited to sit in with a group of ranchers who had a major fire burn grassland, fence lines and outbuildings. In the debriefing, we heard how upset people were over the rumours going around. A written prayer shared with town congregations and the weekly paper helped us correct inaccuracies and invite divine guidance.

Rural churches and communities have their own values and ways of doing things, ways that have been practiced for a long time. It makes me think about how these village values could become treasures we can share with our global society.

Small can be beautiful. Small can allow for participants to contribute in unique and wonderful ways.

WHEAT | RESEARCH

Shortfall in wheat research concerns Ag Canada official Funding for ‘curiosity research’ | Public and private sector groups need incentives to invest in wheat, says Stephen Morgan Jones

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Agriculture Canada’s top prairie research bureaucrat is warning that the country’s basic wheat research is falling behind competitors and needs an injection of funds from government and the private sector to stay apace.

Stephen Morgan Jones, the department’s science and technology branch director general for the Prairies, said Canada’s basic science funding commitment is at the “lower end” of what is needed.

As well, there must be more emphasis

on basic “curiosity research” that leads to long-term sector development.

“I don’t disagree that there’s been an emphasis on industry-driven or producer-driven partnerships, which gives us a five-year funding window … and it allows us to produce competitive varieties for the farming industry,” he said after a November speech to a grain industry symposium in Ottawa.

“But we need to re-enter the debate about who does the basic cell work.”

Morgan Jones said the portion of research funding dedicated to “curiosity research” that has a 10 or 15 year timeline should be at least 20 to 30 percent.

“My estimate is now it would be in that 20 percent area, so we are at the lower end.”

He said the government should change plant breeders’ rights rules to make it more attractive for private sector investors.

“Clearly there is an innovation gap and we need to see it filled,” he said.

However, the grain symposium, which was sponsored by the Canada Grains Council and Grain Growers of Canada, focused more on what the federal government should be doing to boost basic wheat research.

Wilf Keller, president of Ag-West Bio, bemoaned the decline in federal

funding of “discovery research.”

“We need a strong public presence,” he said.

“Society has to step up to the plate.

What is the public space going to be over the next 20 years?”

Darcy Pawlik, North American head of cereals for Syngenta, bragged about his company’s long-time investment in Canadian wheat breeding, but he also argued that a strong government commitment is needed.

“Without public investment, we wouldn’t have the wheat program,” he said.

Pawlik said the next 10 years of government commitment to basic wheat

We have half a million parts 7R JHW \RX EDFN LQ WKH ƟHOG IDVW

research is uncertain.

The recent federal emphasis has been on short-term investment to research “clusters” aimed at quick results for the industry.

Don Dewar, board member of the Western Grains Research Foundation and a former Manitoba farm leader, was blunt.

“Agriculture Canada has been withdrawing from discovery research,” he told the meeting.

“How do we turn that bus around?”

Morgan Jones said in an interview the key is changing the “business model” to make it more attractive for the private sector to invest in wheat breeding, including better royalty returns on seed sales.

He said grain farmers are unlikely to increase the $6 million they already contribute to the Western G r a i n s R e s e a r c h Fo u n d a t i o n through checkoffs.

“If we want to look at wanting to improve on what we do right now, it will take more money and it really has to come from the private sector so the business model has to change.”

The federal researcher said that while Canadian wheat genetics and yields are improving annually at less than one percent, Australia sees advances 50 percent higher.

“At the end of the day, we can do better than .7 percent and we need more money to do that,” he said.

“The money really has to come from the private sector.”

Manitoba is planning to eliminate fixed fertilizer application deadlines, says Doug Chorney, president of Keystone Agricultural Producers.

The government brought in provincial regulations in 2011 that prohibited farmers from applying fertilizer or manure after Nov. 10 or before April 10.

KAP lobbied against the regulations, arguing that farmers should be permitted to apply fertilizer late into November or before April 10 when conditions are suitable.

“They’re going to commit to a more flexible, adaptable process that isn’t tied to fixed dates,” Chorney told a KAP district meeting in Brandon in late November.

The conflict over fertilizer deadlines between growers and the province reached a boiling point this fall when there was a window of warm weather for several days after Nov. 10.

A provincial spokesperson said in early November that the government wouldn’t extend the Nov. 10 deadline but would “monitor weather conditions and review individual requests.”

A provincial spokesperson said Mackintosh has instructed department staff to “explore other options that would focus more on actual soil temperatures and regional variations”, rather than fixed dates.

BEES | HEALTH

Sierra Club joins chorus calling to ban neonicotinoid use Movement gains momentum | Environmental group and Ontario and Quebec beekeepers’ associations are concerned about link to bee deaths

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Beekeepers are walking a fine line if they campaign against pesticides alongside environmental groups because beekeepers also use pesticides, says Rod Scarlett, executive director of the Canadian Honey Council.

“I think everybody has to bear in mind that beekeepers, themselves, use pesticides,” he said.

“It’s not like we don’t use products.”

The Sierra Club of Canada issued a statement in late November that called on the federal government to ban a class of pesticides known as neonicotinoids, which are widely used as seed treatments on corn, soybeans and canola.

The Sierra Club said a recent Italian study shows that clothianidin, a Bayer neonicotinoid, damages bees’ immune systems and destroys their ability to fight disease.

“It is important new evidence that helps explain the devastating impact these pesticides have had on bee populations,” said John Bennett, Sierra Club’s national campaign director.

The Italian study is the latest to say that neonicotinoids are detrimental to bee health. Earlier this year, the European Commission suspended the use of neonicotinoids for two years.

Bennett said the Sierra Club of Canada is part of a loose coalition working to ban neonics, which includes the David Suzuki Foundation, the National Farmers Union, the United Church of Canada, the Cana-

dian Environmental Law Association and Canadian Organic Growers.

Beekeepers associations in Quebec and Ontario have also campaigned for a ban following widespread bee deaths at bee yards over the last two years, particularly in Ontario.

Bennett said the Sierra Club has had conversations with the Ontario Beekeepers’ Association regarding the ban, but there is no formal relationship.

Dan Davidson, president of the Ontario Beekeepers’ Association, said his association isn’t working with environmental non-governmental organizations to ban neonics.

“It’s not like we’re joining forces or aligning with environmental groups,” he said.

“I don’t think we need to ban all pesticides, that’s not what the Ontario beekeepers stand for. It would be quite hypocritical considering we put pesticides in our hives to control varroa mites.”

Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency announced in September that current agricultural practices, where neonics are applied to corn and soybean seeds, are not sustainable because tests on dead bees show that insecticide laden dust from planters are killing bees.

ALL COMPONENTS ARE EASILY REMOVED IN MINUTES.

Other provincial beekeeping associations are taking a wait and see approach on neonicotinoids because many entomologists, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and other scientific bodies maintain that neonics may play a role in bee losses but are not the primary factor.

Bryan Ash, the Manitoba Beekeepers’ Association’s representative to the Canadian Honey Council, said it’s concerning that the Sierra Club is “dabbling” in this issue.

The Sierra Club campaigns against pesticides in general, including an insecticide that beekeepers use to

control mites called amitraz, Ash said.

“The Sierra group, they publish a long list of insecticides and pesticides that they want to see banned and amitraz is on that list.”

Bennett didn’t comment on the Sierra Club’s stance on amitraz.

Nonetheless, he said the group does “have concerns about a lot of pesticides.”

Scarlett said the issue is a conundrum for beekeepers because they use insecticides, just like farmers who grow crops.

“The products we use are made by the same companies,” he said.

CALGARY BUREAU

The University of Calgary’s veterinary school is conducting a cow-calf survey to learn more about common diseases and management practices on the farm.

“The whole spectrum of the industry is what we are looking for,” said lead researcher Claire Windeyer.

Surveys have already been distributed, but Windeyer wants to get as many as possible by the end of the year. Forty questions cover management of painful procedures such as castration, care of newborn calves, death losses and disease. Producers may also give their opinion on future research that would provide practical solutions to problems they see on the farm.

Information will be used to build research programs and offer improved extension services through the university.

Some of that education can be offered at the annual university beef conference held each year.

Copies of the survey are available by email at c.windeyer@ucalgary. ca.or by calling Windeyer at 403210‐7959. The survey is also available o n l i n e a t w w w . e S u r v e y s P r o. com/s/239599/calfsurvey.

Cattle pulled to safety after falling through ice Fence dugout | Alberta producer wants others to learn from this tragic experience

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

Dugouts should be fenced to keep out cattle. |

A northern Alberta family that spent four hours pulling cattle from an icy dugout warns other producers to fence their dugouts.

The final outcome was a broken hand and one dead animal.

Peggy Johnson said she was moving bales when her cattle spied the open gate into the corrals and started racing through it toward the dugout.

She followed them across the field in the tractor and was just in time to see the splash as 15 animals ran into the middle of the dugout and fell through the ice.

“It’s just plain ugly. It was just awful,” said Johnson, who farms near Fairview.

Luckily, Johnson’s daughter and son-in-law, Jackie and Jake Gour, had just driven into the yard for a visit and were able to help pull out the cattle and phone for more help.

Jake was able to ease out onto the ice and toss a lariat onto the necks of the cattle treading water in the middle of the dugout. Johnson then pulled them over the edge of the ice and out of the dugout with the tractor.

The first cow that was pulled out ran away before they could get the lariat off its neck. It was a frantic scene as cows thrashed in the dugout and others wanted to get to the water for a drink.

“My daughter said, ‘just settle down,’ ” said Johnson.

They all took a breath, chased the cow with the lariat into the corral and continued to pull out cattle.

A neighbour arrived with a backhoe and tried to smash the ice near the edge, but it was too thick.

By this time, Johnson’s husband, Steve, had arrived and started to help by attaching another rope to the cattle and pulling it out with the back hoe. That rope snapped and whipped back, breaking his hand.

“I feel really bad for Steve. He’s got a few weeks getting his hand back working,” she said.

Johnson estimated the last two animals to be pulled out were treading water for about an hour and a half and were unable to walk when they were pulled out.

The family eventually dried the cattle by draping a tarp over them and blasting them with warm air from a heater. A tarp strap was slipped under the cattle once they were warmed up and they were lifted with the front-end loader until the circulation in their legs returned and they were able to walk away.

One weanling steer calf died.

“It could have been so much worse,” said Johnson.

“We did manage. It was quite a day.”

The cattle had been locked out of the corrals a week earlier after a few animals broke through the edge of the ice. Johnson didn’t know the cattle would be so determined to get back into the corrals.

“I left the stupid gate open. I could just kick my butt.”

The temperature had risen to 3 C Nov. 29, the day of the accident. Johnson doesn’t know if the warmer weather softened the ice and created a weak spot where the cattle fell through.

The family spent the next day putting portable panels around the dugout to keep the cattle away.

Johnson said they have talked about fencing around the dugout for years, but never did it. However, it will be done next year.

“If someone else can learn from my stupid mistakes, I’d be happy,” she said.

CALGARY STAMPEDE STEER | MEAT DONATION

Antimicrobial resistance Controversial steer supplies food bank Airdrie Food Bank says the donation of meat for Christmas hampers is appreciated not to be feared: expert

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

Education needed | Public lumps all drugs together

BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Consumers are receiving confusing, over-simplified information about antimicrobial resistance in veterinary and human medicine, says an independent consultant.

“For the vast majority of people, their exposure to agriculture comes through the food that they eat,” Leigh Rosengren of Midale, Sask., told a Saskatchewan pork industry event in Saskatoon last week.

“So while the concern is very, very big, concern is not the same as risk.”

She said resistance could spread through salmonella, but that’s a food safety issue.

Regulations on withdrawal times from drugs are designed to keep antimicrobials out of the food chain, she added, but resistance is different.

“Now we’re talking about the bacterial ecology in the animal, and no animal or person is sterile,” she said. “We all have millions and billions of bacteria in us and many of those bacteria will carry resistance genes.”

She said consumers who are concerned about the issue may also lump all antimicrobials together.

The tetracyclines and ionophores commonly used in livestock production aren’t the issue, she added.

In the case of ionophores, which are used as an antibiotic or growthenhancer, there is no human equivalent.

“Resistance to them is really not part of this discussion and part of this equation,” she said.

“That’s something we need to communicate.”

She said the bigger concern are the Class 1 drugs, such as ceftiofur, enrofloxacin and danofloxacin, which are more critical to human health.

Those drugs are handled with a prescription and oversight from a veterinarian.

Rosengren said producers and the industry must use antimicrobials carefully and diligently respond to criticism.

“It’s not just inappropriate use. It’s not just injudicious use. It’s not just the use of the wrong drug,” she said.

“Every time we use an antimicrobial, it has the potential to select for resistance.”

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration restricted the use of the antibiotic cephalosporin in cattle, hogs, chickens and turkeys last year.

“If that were to happen in Canada — we have very narrow labels for those products — it would be very restrictive for producers,” Rosengren said in an interview.

The FDA also encourages drug companies to voluntarily remove growth promotion from product labels.

She said there is greater concern about antimicrobial resistance in the United States, particularly with links between livestock and community acquired cases of methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus.

“They’re far more politicized and they’re probably 10 or 15 years ahead of us, so we can watch them as sort of a weather forecast,” she said.

LEIGH ROSENGREN CONSULTANT

“The Canadian discussion is moving more slowly and more thoughtfully, which is a good thing.”

The steer disqualified from the Calgary Stampede steer show in July after it tested positive for trace amounts of drugs has been donated to the food bank in Airdrie, Alta.

“It will be ready for Christmas,” said steer owner Royden Anderson of Didsbury, Alta.

“I don’t need the meat and it seemed like the right thing to do.”

The steer, named Oscar, was destined for slaughter after the Calgary Stampede steer show in July, but stampede officials kept it alive until receiving results of the blood test.

The steer owners appealed the decision, but their appeal was rejected and the steer has lived at its owner’s farm since then.

“After all the kerfuffle with the Stampede, this brings it back to reality and what we’re doing is feeding people,” said Anderson.

“This is what the beef industry is about. It’s about feeding people, to put things in perspective. It’s not shows or prizes.”

Anderson said he sat down with coowner Riley Chalack and the two agreed they’d met a lot of friends through the steer and they didn’t need the meat.

“We feel better donating the meat,”

Growing today for tomorrow.

Farming, the biggest job on earth.

The population is increasing, but farmland isn’t. So the pressure is on for farmers to maximize yields and produce high-quality crops to meet the needs of a growing planet.

said Anderson.

“It’s a reality check, even for myself.

It’s Christmas. People need to eat.”

Lori McRitchie, executive director of the Airdrie Food Bank, said the donation of a 1,400 pound steer to the food bank is huge.

“It saves us going out and buying the necessary meat for the food hampers,” said McRitchie.

Meat is included in the weekly food hampers, which are given to the mainly rural areas outside Calgary, but is not often donated.

“We get lots of Kraft dinner and tuna, but not a lot of meat. When it comes our way we consider ourselves blessed.”

Canada will have ministers at both trade meetings.

“By concentrating on core objectives within our priority markets, the (GMAP) will entrench the concept of ‘economic diplomacy’ as the driving force behind the government of Canada’s trade promotion activities throughout its international diplomatic network,” said Fast.

“This new focus represents a sea change in the way Canada’s diplomatic assets are deployed around the world (and) in doing so, we are ensuring that Canada’s long-term economic success becomes one of our priority foreign policy objectives.”

Exporters, including agricultural interests, quickly applauded the announcement.

Critics said the government was abandoning Canada’s role as a diplomatic broker dealing with geopolitical and sensitive international issues far broader than economic advancement.

In one critical report, an unnamed diplomat complained that he was no longer to be a diplomat but a trade shill for commercial interests.

Opposition MPs picked up the theme in the House of Commons Nov. 27.

New Democrat MP Paul Dewar said the advisory committee for the plan was composed exclusively of business representatives.

“Its new trade-only foreign policy puts business interests ahead of national interests,” he said. “Why are Conservatives ignoring our diplomats and letting CEOs of multinationals dictate our foreign policy?”

Baird said the New Democrat foreign affairs critic had it wrong.

“Our government stands up for Canadian values and our government stands up for Canadian interests,” he said.

Two of the business representatives on the advisory panel that helped develop the new strategy were Kathleen Sullivan, executive director of the Canadian Agri-Food Trade Alliance, and Murad Al-Katib, president of Saskatchewan-based pulse marketer Alliance Grain Traders.

CAFTA quickly endorsed “the government’s continued commitment to expand export markets.”

The Canadian Meat Council, which represents meat packers, also applauded the government.

Executive director Jim Laws said it reflects a strengthened commitment by the government to open markets for Canadian livestock and meat products.

“Whether through the negotiation of comprehensive new trade agreements or focused technical consultations, the removal of foreign market access barriers is always a long and arduous challenge that can only be undertaken between governments.”

The Conference Board of Canada is projecting economic growth of 2.5 percent in 2014 and 2015, based mainly on stronger trade performance. Growth this year is predicted to be 1.8 percent.

CHRISTMAS GIVING | TOYS AND GAMES

Anyone for crokinole?

Christmas trends | Retro games, Lego blocks and activity sets that encourage family play are popular

BY ROSALIE I. TENNISON FREELANCE WRITER

When it comes to toys for Christmas 2013, everything old is new again.

Adrienne Appell of the Toy Industry Association said tech toys are increasingly designed to preserve the play patterns that attract children, so there is still time to introduce the children to old-fashioned favourites like crokinole.

“Play patterns remain the same,” she said.

If you remember getting a Cabbage Patch doll and having your mother stand in store lines to purchase it, you may have to dig out comfortable shoes and get in line again for your own child.

The adoptable toy turned 30 this year and is one of many such toys on Christmas wish lists, reports the association.

“Retro toys are one of the biggest trends we are seeing,” said Appell.

“Kids today have grown up with technology and we sometimes look at it and say, ‘I wish I had that when I was a kid,’ but they are looking at what we grew up with and think it is cool.”

Appell said it connects generations when children receive a toy that their grandparents or parents enjoyed.

Toys such as Spirograph and board games like Monopoly invoke nostalgia and create opportunities to interact. Building materials such as Lego or blocks have not gone out of style and also create that retro feeling.

She suggests looking for “beloved tried-and-true staples” that have appeared in every household and

will be loved by kids of all ages.

“Retro speaks to tradition and reminds us there are other ways to play (besides tech),” Appell said.

Another trend is toys that embrace pop culture, especially those with a do-it-yourself feature.

She said toys that take cooking or fashion design into the arena of play are gaining attention. That includes kits for creating clothing or musical/ performance toys.

“Toys to get kids to be creative and build something are inspired by television shows that celebrate the creativity of contestants.”

Other smaller trends include toys that combine real and virtual worlds like 3D and engage children in an interactive experience; toys that entice teens and tweens with board games or outdoor activity; items that are portable and can fit into tightly scheduled lives and toys that go

beyond blocks to more sophisticated building sets.

The Canadian Toy Testing Council Best Bets for 2013 lists items from pop culture categories, including several involving music, sculpture or fashion creation.

Ange Digout Erhardt, CTTC chair, said children are returning to crafts and board games and active play.

“There weren’t as many battery operated toys this year,” she said.

“People are starting to identify that medicine has a lot to offer but it doesn’t always cure, and its treatments come with some side-effects,” said Verhoef. “People who are looking at complementary therapies and are looking at sensitive and thoughtful ways of combining both are quite often doing very well.”

There are no reliable statistics on how many Canadians use treatments and therapies other than traditional medicine, but Verhoef said it appears to be on the rise.

“First of all, I think people like to take part in their disease trajectory.

DR. MARJA VERHOEF UNIVERSITY OF CALGARY

The medical system is not so good at doing that. (Doctors) see you for two minutes or five minutes and they say this is good for you and if it doesn’t work, come back.

“A complementar y physician spends a lot more time with patients.

He’ll ask what they think is wrong, what they want to work on. I think that’s a really important factor.”

The feeling of personal control offered by complementary and alter-

native medicine is attractive and there is solid evidence some treatments are effective for certain conditions.

For example, chiropractic treatment is effective for some types of back pain, massage therapy is proven to reduce stress, acupuncture can relieve nausea and relaxation therapy combats anxiety and insomnia.

Similarly, there is evidence that specific natural health products are effective.

Ginkgo helps memory retention, echinacea helps relieve cold and flu symptoms, saw palmetto can treat prostate trouble and black cohosh gives relief from conditions associated with menopause.

Verhoef cautioned patients to understand that natural is not the same as safe.

There are risks if patients do not or

cannot obtain reliable information on the effectiveness of various therapies and remedies, a situation worsened by lack of label information.

Anecdotal evidence, gut feeling, trial and error and testimonials are not reliable ways to decide on therapies and remedies, the doctor said.

Health Canada has been regulating natural health products since 2000, and its website is one place to go for information. Verhoef also cited the Oxford Handbook of Complementary Medicine and The Complete Natural Medicine Guide to the 50 Most Common Medicinal Herbs as reliable.

She advised people to check the credentials of complementary and alternative medicine practitioners and talk with their doctors about alternative therapies they are seeking or using.

SENIORS’ DAY PROGRAM | COMMUNITY SERVICES

Seniors have place to go, people to meet Regency Manor | Rural Sask. drop-in service provides personal grooming, meals and daily activity program

BY KRISTEN MCEWEN SASKATOON NEWSROOM

CENTRAL BUTTE, Sask. — Football dominates the conversation during lunch at the adult day program held at Regency Manor in Central Butte.

Joyce Langer leads the discussion.

She is in charge of activities for clients during their day at the care home.

“I usually have current events, a crossword puzzle, a joke and discuss whatever might be the flavour of the day,” Langer said.

She talks about the typhoon relief efforts in the Philippines as people gather around the table in the middle of the activity room.

She also shares a story about how she had to listen to a Saskatchewan Roughrider game over the radio because she had to help her husband, who had become stuck while hauling bales.

The adult day program at the care home picks up seniors who do not require a high level of care but need help with some personal tasks.

“I just come once a week for my bath because it’s not safe at home,” Kathy Schick said.

She lives in Central Butte and has been part of the day program for more than a year. Schick receives a bath and a meal and also visits her husband, Karl, who is a resident here.

“I don’t drive over during the week to visit him because I have trouble driving,” she said.

Marion Songer, who also lives in Central Butte, joins a group of oldtime singers on Mondays by playing the piano.

“I get a good bath and I get a good meal. I’m content,” Songer said. “It’s fun.”

For $12.50 a day, the program provides lunch and daily activities for clients in the mornings and afternoons. Langer takes care of the activities while staff member, Debbie Kinnee, picks up the seniors and provides special care aid, including baths.

“After I come back (from lunch), I have a program for the afternoon they take part in and it can be varied,” Langer said.

“I usually have a few of the longterm care residents that also take part in the afternoon program.”

On this November afternoon, eight clients and residents of the care home are painting a winter wonderland, which is fitting, considering the blanket of fresh snow that covers the ground outside.

The day program has been in Central Butte since before the care home moved to its current location from the town’s Regency Hospital in 2002.

The program takes in an average of three clients a day. The facility has enough staff to include as many as 10 seniors but is limited to a smaller number because the tub rooms must also be shared with the manor’s 23 residents.

Clients are picked up from Elbow, Tugaske, Park Bay, Chaplin, Riverhurst and Central Butte.

A day program like the one offered at Regency Manor allows senior citizens to stay at home longer.

“I think for a lot of people, it’s socialization of not being stuck at home and an opportunity to have a bath in a bathtub, not a shower,” Langer said.

“And to get their hair done,” Kinnee added. “For the women, that’s really a big deal. If they don’t have family that take them regularly, it’s a big deal.”

CHRISTMAS GIVING | FOOD, DONATIONS

Home baked goods make delicious gifts and donations TEAM RESOURCES

SARAH GALVIN, BSHEc

G

iving food is a Christmas tradition. Consider charitable options this year such as food banks, women’s shelters and soup kitchens. Donated food and money are welcome.

The natural disaster in the Philippines left thousands of people in need. The federal government is matching all qualifying donations made by Canadians until Dec. 9.

Another option for friends and family is grocery store gift cards.

One idea for the foodie in your life is food websites such as The Missing Ingredient, www.missingingredient.ca. Founder and owner Angie Quaale of Langley, B.C., said it’s like a magazine subscription but one you can eat.

“Every month, we send a box of hard to find missing ingredients, along with recipes and tips to use them. The box is really designed for people who love to cook and eat. And people who live in places where they don’t have access to specialty ingredients find it especially awesome.”

Here are a few recipes that make excellent homemade Christmas gifts

SARAH GALVIN PHOTO

Combine butter, sugar and cocoa powder in double boiler and heat until melted. Slowly drizzle hot mixture into beaten egg, whisking constantly until thickened.

Stir in graham cracker crumbs, almonds, and coconut. Press mixture firmly into an ungreased eight by eight inch (20 cm x 20 cm) baking pan and chill.

Remove inner flesh and white pithy part from the peel. The white part tends to be bitter. Cut the cleaned peel into strips.

Blanch peel in salted boiling water 15-20 minutes. Empty and blanch again in fresh water for 15 minutes. Blanching serves two purposes. It tenderizes and takes away bitterness and it changes the cellular structure so that sugar will be accepted into the peel.

Bring sugar, corn syrup and water to a boil. Add blanched peel. Simmer until peel is translucent. This will take about 30 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit overnight in the sugar syrup.

The next day, reheat sugar syrup before removing the peel. Drain peel on a rack and let sit for a day to dry. Toss peel in granulated sugar.

It is now ready to use or it can be dipped in chocolate.

NANAIMO BARS The trick to making a perfect Nanaimo bar is to chill each layer well before adding the next.

Bottom Layer 1/2 c. unsalted butter 125 mL at room temperature 1/4 c. sugar 60 mL 5 tbsp. cocoa powder 75 mL 1 egg, beaten 1 1/4 c. graham cracker 310 mL crumbs 1/2 c. finely chopped 125 mL almonds 1 c. flaked coconut 250 mL

Remove marshmallow from pan by first running a small sharp knife around the edge of the marshmallow to loosen it from pan. Invert pan onto a large cutting board that has been dusted with confectioner’s sugar.

Peel off parchment paper and dust top of marshmallow with icing sugar.

Cut marshmallow into squares using clean kitchen scissors, a pizza roller or sharp knife. Dip cut sides of marshmallows in additional icing sugar.

Shake off excess sugar and store in an airtight container, at room temperature, for up to three weeks.

Makes about 36 1 1/2 inch (4 cm) marshmallows.

Meanwhile, in a heavy two quart (2 L) saucepan, add sugar, corn syrup, salt

and remaining 1/2 cup (125 mL) cold water.

Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves and mixture comes to a boil.

Increase heat to high and boil, without stirring, until syrup reaches 240 F (115 C), about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.

With mixer running at low speed, slowly pour hot syrup into gelatin mixture in a stream down the side of the bowl.

Gradually increase speed to high and beat until mixture has tripled in volume and is thick and stiff, about 10 minutes. Add vanilla and beat to combine, about 30 seconds longer.

Scrape marshmallow mixture into the prepared pan and level with a damp metal spatula. The mixture is sticky so smooth it out as best as you can.

Dust top with icing sugar and let stand, uncovered, at room temperature until set, about 12 hours.

Melt chocolate and butter in a double boiler over low heat. Once cool but still liquid, pour over middle layer and chill in refrigerator until set, about an hour. Slice and serve.

Fall can cause wrist fracture not immediately visible to X-ray HEALTH CLINIC

your forearm and wrist, possibly including the thumb, for several weeks.

A: CLARE ROWSON, MD

Q:

I had a fall in the barn recently.

I saved myself with my hands with most of my weight falling on one hand. I had an X-ray, which did not show any broken bones, but this hand is still painful when I try to use it. It has been two weeks since the accident. I am male and 56 years

Not all fractures of the wrist show up when they are first X-rayed immediately after the accident.

There is a small bone located in the hollow of the tendons in between the base of the thumb and the index finger known as the scaphoid. Of all the bones in the wrist, this is the one most likely to fracture.

A fall onto the palm of your outstretched hand is a classic way of causing this injury, and it is often confused with a sprained wrist.

This can happen at any age. Sports such as snowboarding or skating are common causes.

OBESE MEN NEED SURGICAL TREATMENT SUMMIT MEDICAL GROUP ILLUSTRATION

In some cases, the pain is not severe unless you try to grip something or move your thumb too much. If the doctor presses in the hollow at the base of the thumb, it will be painful.

You may have had another X-ray by now, but if not, you should get one as soon as possible because it may be visible now.

If so, you will need to wear a cast on

Reviews of more than 15,000 case records of bariatric surgery patients from the United Kingdom have confirmed that body mass index measurement is not the best way to prioritize patients for this procedure, which reduces the size of the stomach with a gastric band or through removal of a portion of the stomach.

University of Alberta Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry researchers Dr. Raj Padwal, Dr. Sumit Majumdar,

Dr. Arya Sharma and colleagues recently published the study in JAMA Surgery.

They discovered that men classified as obese were more at risk than women, particularly if they were also smokers and diabetics.

“It’s simple math that will predict a patient’s risk of death. For example, if you’re a middle-aged, male smoker with diabetes, your risk of dying in 10 years is 10 times higher than a young, female, non-smoker who doesn’t have diabetes, irrespective of BMI,” Padwal said.

Currently, more women than men are receiving this surgery.

HUMOUR | WEATHER

Weather anything but boring THE MORE THINGS CHANGE …

MICHAEL GILLGANNON

I

have been following the weather in Singapore for the past three months.

(That’s your cue to say, “Oh, really?”)

Yes, it’s true, and not only that, it’s fascinating. You know what they say about weather on the Prairies: if you don’t like it, just wait 10 minutes.

In Singapore’s case, that would have to be extrapolated to: if you don’t like the weather here, just wait till the next epoch.

Everyday,theSaskatoon StarPhoenix prints a list of cities around the world with the day’s forecast. In Singapore’s case, that forecast is either “thunderstorms, high 30, low 26” or “thunderstorms, high 30, low 27” or “thunderstorms, high 29, low 26.”

Less often, we learn that the day will bring “thundershowers, high 30, low 26” or “thundershowers, high 30, low 27” or thundershowers,

BUILDING YOUR GETAWAY HAS NEVER BEEN EASIER!

high 29, low 26.”

Only once in the past three months has rain not been in the forecast.

That was the day it was going to be “cloudy, high 30, low 27.”

A trip to Wikipedia informs us that Singapore’s average daily high in January is 30.1 degrees; in June, 31.3; in September, 30.9. The average humidity, which varies about as much as the temperature, is 84.2 percent. That is sauna-like.

The yearly rainfall is 92.2 inches.

That’s seven and a half feet. Average annual precipitation in Saskatoon is 15.4 inches. That’s 1.28 feet.

And now I come to the point. Sure, the weather in Saskatchewan is terrible, but at least it’s terrible in interesting ways. You can be shredded by hail one day and baked like a potato chip the next. Not just the next day but maybe the next hour.

And there is the clear blue sky, unlike Singapore. Saskatoon isn’t a financial centre like Singapore, but we do have a lot of banks. Canadians seem to have a thing for banks, just as Americans have a thing for gun dealers.

What we excel at, though, is weather, and lots of it.

ON THE FARM | FAMILY TRADITIONS

Couple looks to downsize to enjoy more free time Century farm’s evolution | Farm switches to April calving from January

BY KRISTEN MCEWEN SASKATOON NEWSROOM

PRINCE ALBERT, Sask. — The names Matthew, Laurel, Beth and Jaclyn, along with handprints, are etched into the slab of concrete that supports the porch stairs of the Zelensky home north of Prince Albert.

For the Zelenskys, the mixed farm represents family. Whenever concrete was poured, Rod and Sandra gathered their children to write their names.

The family celebrated 100 years on the farm in 2009 and have overcome many challenges, including BSE and limited moisture.

“You have to have a lot of faith to be a farmer, I think,” Rod said.

Despite the setbacks, the Zelenskys wouldn’t want to live anywhere else.

“I love the whole thing. I can’t imagine living anywhere else,” Sandra said. “I don’t know what we’d do if we had to move to town.”

The couple, who has been here for 35 years, are considering downsizing from 200 head of cattle to allow more time for off farm recreation.

That was surprising news for their children, the Zelenskys said.

Only Beth and Jaclyn remain at home and their siblings are university students.

“It’s a family farm. They know that and it’s their home. So it’s always if anything is changing, if we’re talking about changing anything, it’s quite dramatic for them. It’s the way they grew up. It’s the way it’s always been. It’s their own, it’s always home,” said Rod. A switchover in calving to April from January allowed them more time to travel to warmer places in the winter, ice fishing and snowmobiling.

“We used to say there’s nothing else

to do in the winter, we might as well be calving, but there’s lots of things to do in the winter,” Rod said.

Rod and Sandra annually look for extra help at harvest and in 2005, they hired Glen Sorenson as a full-time employee.

“We’re lucky that through all these years, we’ve always had good people.

Nobody’s ever been hurt seriously.

We’ve been very lucky that way with it.”

Sorenson helps with seeding, swathing, combining, baling and feeding cattle.

“I enjoy the farming part of it. I enjoy the family part of it,” Sorenson said. “So Rod and his family are just like another family to me.”

This year, Rod and Sandra added another hired man who hailed from Slovenia. He had a working holiday visa that allowed him to work and

study while travelling in another country.

He had no previous farming experi-

ence but responded to Rod’s ad online, then worked from September until November.

NEWS INVASIVE WEED RESEARCH | DOWNY BROME

Downy brome alter Plant taps all available nutrients | The weed modifies the soil to help it invade new areas

BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Downy brome grass changes the soil composition to allow the plant to grow faster and stronger. |

FILE PHOTO

An American researcher believes downy brome does more than outcompete other plants in the pasture.

Bob Blank said the invasive weed also changes the soil.

“We actually believe that it sees the soil differently than some of our natives. It can actually access nutrients that some natives can’t

(through) a myriad of processes,” said Blank, a soil scientist with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service.

“There’s lots of things going on.”

The plant spreads quickly, outcompeting plants and reducing diversity.

“You’ll be shocked at how quickly it does it,” he said.

“You’ll be shocked at the size of it, the densities of it and you’ll be shocked where you have a fire where you may not have had one before.”

Downy brome is a problem weed in many parts of the continent. In Blank’s state, Nevada, ranchers are forced to accept it as the dominant forage.

Livestock can eat the plant, although other plants are preferred.

However, its prevalence can lead to more wildfires.

“Any grazer, rancher out here deals with cheatgrass (another name for downy brome). That’s just a reality. They deal with both the positive and the negatives aspects,” said Blank.

“It burns like crazy and we get wildfires in this country in certain years that are absolutely enormous in size, devastating, just costly to control, and we don’t really know how to rehabilitate them either.”

In Saskatchewan, the annual plant is designated as a noxious weed. Its presence is noted in the province’s southwest, as well as in Alberta.

Chemical controls are available for the weed, but seeds can lay dormant for several years before germinating.

Alberta Agriculture instructs producers to plan for at least three years of control.

Blank has studied downy brome for a number of years in both greenhouse and field studies.

In a study published this fall, Blank wondered if the weed would grow better in soil already infested with downy brome. He compared the production of plants grown in uninfested soil with that of plants in infested areas.

After two growing seasons, the invaded soil had double the biomass.

Blank’s team believes the plant, and some other weeds, are able to engineer the soil, altering the nutrient cycle to access greater amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus and manganese.

“It modifies the soil to favour its invasiveness. This is not really a new idea,” said Blank.

“It’s been speculated for many invasive plants. Cheatgrass is just another one.”

Blank said it’s a separate phenomenon from nitrogen fixation.

A 2005 ARS study suggested that rising carbon dioxide levels may benefit some invasive plants, including fire-tolerant species such as downy brome.

It is known to invade areas that have been disturbed by grazing, cultivation or fire.

“Disturbance creates open sites that it can occupy, colonize and then go from there,” said Blank.

FARM STATISTICS | INCOME

Canadian net farm income hits record

rs soil, then makes itself at home

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

The federal government says net farm income reached a record $7.3 billion last year, 31.7 percent more than the previous year.

It followed increases of 56.3 percent in 2011 and 16.9 percent in 2010 as farmers benefit from high commodity prices and increased exports.

Meanwhile, Statistics Canada also reported Nov. 26 that it has increased by $400 million the calculation of farm debt owing at the end of last year to a record $72.6 billion, even as farm income was soaring.

Chartered banks held more than one-third of the debt, followed by federal agencies including Farm Credit Canada.

Statistics Canada said last year’s increased income was driven by a sharp escalation in grain and oilseed prices, although cattle industry receipts also increased 4.2 percent.

After a brief recovery the previous year, hog industr y receipts fell slightly as average prices fell 3.4 percent.

Statistics Canada said program payments fell slightly to $3.4 billion last year, including a 22.1 percent decline in Saskatchewan.

Program payments increased in Alberta (13 percent) and Quebec (17.4 percent).

DOWNY BROME FACTS • Downy brome produces 500 pounds per acre of seed every year.

• It germinates under a variety of conditions from 5 to 40 C. • Ninety-eight percent of the seed germinates within two years, but the remaining two per cent (10 lb. per acre) can germinate up to five years later.

• It persists along fence lines.

• It likes disturbed soil.

• Calves tend to like to lie in it, spreading the seed.

• It gets onto reclamation sites through impure seed, equipment that hasn’t been cleaned and contaminated straw used for crimping.

WORLD ANGUS FORUM | YOUTH TEAM COMPETITION

Canadians take top prizes at World Angus Forum

BY REBECA KUROPATWA FREELANCE WRITER

Canadian teams distinguished themselves last month at the World Angus Forum Youth Team Challenge in New Zealand by winning champion and reserve champion world titles.

Team members Jared Hunter of Didsbury, Alta., Patrick Holland of Montague, P.E.I., Melissa McRae of Brandon and Michael Hargrave of Maxwell, Ont., brought home the world champion title along with $10,000 in prize money.

Ten four-member teams from Canada, New Zealand, Australia,

England and Scotland were provided with four heifers per team. They then had to clip, groom and show the animals.

Participants were also quizzed on their farm knowledge and gave a presentation on an agricultural topic.

“This challenge was by far the best competition I’ve ever competed in,”

The champion team included Michael Hargrave, left, Patrick Holland, Melissa McRae and Jared Hunter. |

said McRae. “The event was very well organized, skill testing and super fun for the whole seven days of competition.

“There were 1,000 possible points to be won by each team, some individual points, but most points being awarded for team effort.… I was so happy for all the competitors and teams for the

success that came with the week.

“When they finally announced the Canucks as the winning team, it was unbelievable. I’ll never forget the look on our team’s face: shock followed by overwhelming excitement and accomplishment.”

One of the other two Canadian teams won the reserve champion world title.

Albertan Kaitlynn Bolduc said it was an honour to participate and represent the Canadian Angus Association.

“We’re extremely proud, as not just three teams, but as the Canadian team to be bringing back two big titles for the association membership,” she said.

“We owe these two titles to all the role models who taught us everything we know and who pitched in to make it possible for us to have gone.”

Breanna Anderson of Manitoba said participation in the event was the chance of a lifetime.

“We got to see some great cattle and meet even better people while visiting a beautiful country,” she said.

“The support we receive as young people to attend events such as the World Angus Forum is invaluable, and we all really appreciate it.”

Twelve Canadians participated, including eight from Western Canada: Bolduc, Hunter, Stacey Domolewski, Chad Lorenz and Ty Dietrich from Alberta, McRae and Anderson from Manitoba and Erika Easton from Saskatchewan.

CROP CHOICES | CAMELINA RESEARCH

Winter camelina may be viable USDA research | Crop said to be feasible choice for North and South Dakota and Minnesota

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

U.S. Department of Agriculture researchers have concluded that winter camelina may be a feasible crop in North Dakota, Minnesota and South Dakota.

Over the last few years, Russ Gesch, a USDA scientist in Morris, Minnesota, has studied the concept of a double cropping system that combines winter camelina and soybeans.

Gesch and his colleagues seeded a winter variety of camelina, developed at North Dakota State University, into wheat stubble in mid-September in western Minnesota.

The scientists then seeded soybeans into the camelina in early spring, a practice known as relay cropping. They also double cropped, seeding soybeans in June after the camelina was harvested.

The w inter camelina yielded around 21 bushels per acre. The relay cropped soybeans produced 68 to 76 percent of the yields of a monocropped soybean plot, which served as a control in the experiment.

The combined yields of the soybeans and camelina were comparable or exceeded the yields of the mono-cropped soybeans.

Gesch, who studies new and alternative crops, said camelina acres in the region might provide an additional benefit to the environment, by stimulating bee health and populations in the upper Midwest.

With corn and soybean acres booming in the Dakotas and Minnesota, a lack of crop diversity may be contributing to a decline in pollinator numbers.

Consequently, Gesch and his USDA colleagues have initiated a pollinator project to understand how bees in the region respond to flowering crops like camelina.

“There are a lot of theories about colony collapse disorder,” he said.

“But nutrition is a big part of it. Poor nutrition sets them up to fail.... (and) there’s a lot of bare ground out there in the spring.”

One of the crops in the experiment is a spring camelina variety developed in Canada. The U.S. scientists are evaluating the potential of Midas, a variety bred by Agriculture Canada scientists and commercialized by Linnaeus Plant Sciences.

David Roberts, a Linnaeus spokesperson, said the company conducted trials on Midas last year in Saskatchewan.

“We’re taking it very modestly, one step at a time, so we can develop a positive relationship with producers,” he said.

“We did a few trials in Saskatchewan… and producers made money on it — about $100 per acre, which depending where you are in Saskatchewan, compares very favourably with a crop like canola.”

Linnaeus hopes to contract 5,000 acres of Midas in Saskatchewan’s brown soil zone in 2014.

The company also has its eye on the U.S. market, because spring cameli-

na could be a good fit for growers in Montana and other states in the Northern Plains.

The oil in camelina seed can be used to produce biofuels and crop promoters are touting it as an environmentally friendly jet fuel, a source of industrial lubricants and as a crop that be used to manufacture plastics and polymers.

Researchers have determined that a double cropping system involving winter camelina and soybeans could work in the northern United States. | FILE PHOTO

PORK | MARKETING

Canada failing to promote quality of domestic pork Best quality exported | Canada should tout the industry’s reputation for a healthy product and provide consumers with more buying opportunities

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

CALGARY — Ted Bilyea says the Canadian pork market is not what it used to be.

The former Maple Leaf Foods executive, now an agri-food consultant and board member of the Alberta Livestock and Meat Agency, said Canadian pork used to sell at a premium to pork from other countries.

Now Canadian producers struggle for price parity with the United States as they export two-thirds of the pork they produce, including their highest quality product.

It means many domestic consumers have no opportunity to buy top quality Canadian pork, even though retailers agree that domestic pork is preferred.

He told the Nov. 14 general meeting of Alberta Pork that there is generally no information on pork origin at the retail level, to the detriment of the

GUN REGISTRY | SAVING DATA

Quebec case on gun registry to be heard by Supreme Court

Canadian industry.

“We need to come up with something that allows people to have more transparency,” he said.

“We have nothing that prevents supermarkets from selling pork and telling you nothing about it.”

Bilyea said U.S. pork is essentially being dumped in Canada, as evidenced by its cheaper price in Toronto than Buffalo, New York.

However, it isn’t necessarily being sold below cost of production because “we all do that unintentionally.”

Alberta Pork chair Frank Novak

said there is a growing awareness of the U.S. import situation, but international dumping rules require complaints to come from those directly harmed by it.

That means the onus would be on pork processors and sellers, rather than hog producers, to take action.

“We can encourage them strongly to first acknowledge it and figure out the extent of it, and then do something about it because they know if they don’t, they’ll help destroy the Lego block right underneath them, which is the producer,” said Novak.

Bilyea said carbadox is another irritant for the pork industry.

Amer ican producers are still allowed to use the feed additive, which increases hogs’ rate of gain and feed efficiency and controls swine diarrhea.

Canada banned the additive in 2004 because it is a known carcinogen. The industry worried at the time that the ban would impede trade.

Imported pork is tested for carbadox residue, but its use in the U.S. for growth promotion gives producers there a production advantage.

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

The Supreme Court of Canada has agreed to give Quebec one last chance to argue that Ottawa should not be able to destroy Quebec data from the defunct long-gun registry.

While data collected on gun owners across Canada has been destroyed since the federal registry was abolished last year, Quebec has been fighting to create its own registry and to use the federal data on Quebec gun owners as a base.

Until the case is resolved, Quebec gun owner data is preserved.

The federal Conservatives have fought the case, arguing that Quebec has the right to create its own registry but it must start from scratch.

The gun registry data on file is unreliable, outdated and federal property, it says.

In June, the Quebec Cour t of Appeal agreed with Ottawa.

“The Parliament of Canada, which considers the data at issue to be pointless and inefficient and believes that its existence in a registry infringes the right to privacy, can certainly decide to stop compiling and preserving that information,” the court ruled.

The Quebec government, supported by gun control advocates, appealed that decision and the Supreme Court recently agreed to hear the case sometime next year.

In the meantime, none of the data collected on Quebec gun owners for almost 20 years will be turned over to the Quebec government.

Federal public safety minister Steven Blaney vowed to fight against the Quebec case.

In spite of its challenges, Bilyea said the Canadian industry has greater potential to be realized.

The pork industry’s reputation for healthy, clean product is a significant advantage domestically and among Asian buyers, for whom food safety, authenticity and transparency are paramount.

“I encourage the pork industry to think about how to move that,” Bilyea said.

He also said retailers must do a better job of differentiating Canadian product and provide shoppers with both choice and opportunity.

MEAT MARKET | KANGAROO

Kangaroo exporters hope to hop into meat-hungry China Potential market | Most Australians refuse to eat the iconic animal SYDNEY, Australia (Reuters) — Once considered pet food, kangaroo meat could soon be sold to China as a luxury product.

With a booming middle class, China’s appetite for meat is expected to rise nearly 17 percent over the next eight years, the World Trade Organization says.

Exporters do not yet have permission to sell kangaroo meat to China, but recent comments by Australian officials have put the industry in a bullish mood.

“This is something that ticks a whole range of boxes,” agriculture minister Barnaby Joyce said.

“I’m going to try and look at further discussions with the Chinese because I think there is a big prospect for a market there.”

Wang Jun, owner of a small restaurant in Beijing, said he would be keen to try kangaroo.

“Why not? As long as it is delicious,” Wang said.

Beef, pork and chicken are staples in China, but some diners also tuck into cat, rat, dog and more exotic animals in the belief that they have medicinal qualities. Still, not everyone may be so adventurous when it comes to kangaroo.

“How could we lay our chopsticks on such cute animals?” said Liu Xinxin, a university student from Beijing.

Liu’s comments echo sentiments in Australia, which have kept the kangaroo meat industry in a state of suspended development.

A 2008 government survey showed nearly one-fifth of Australians would never eat kangaroo on ethical grounds.

Others are reluctant to eat an animal that figures in the national coat of arms. Only 15.5 percent of people eat kangaroo meat more than four times a year.

Australia is already a large supplier of red meat to China, with shipments worth $577 million in 2012-13. The kangaroo industry hopes to jump into the action.

“It would be huge if we could get access to the Chinese market, and they are certainly very interested,” said Ray Borda, managing director of Macro Meats, Australia’s largest processor of kangaroo and wild game meat.

Kangaroos are protected by state and federal law and caught in the wild rather than farmed. Licensed hunters make an annual cull of a fixed number and specific types.

Some of the impetus for exports follows a boom in the population following good rain last year. Drought this season in the largest cattle-producing state of Queensland has prompted farmers to demand a bigger cull as kangaroos compete with cows for grazing space.

Australian supermarkets sell kangaroo fillets for about $8.54 per pound, which is 30 to 50 percent less than beef.

The kangaroo industry aims for a different story in China by promoting it as an exclusive item and touting its health benefits as a high-protein,

low-fat food.

Interest on both sides is clear.

Queensland agriculture minister John McVeigh has just returned from China, where he talked to importers keen to start trade in kangaroo meat.

Borda and his company are readying for an opening.

Macro Meats has partnered with New Hope Group Ltd., one of Chi-

na’s largest agribusiness operators, and the two firms have developed a strategy to woo customers and project exclusivity by limiting supply.

“Our strategy will see us place kangaroo only in high-end butchers, not in supermarkets,” Borda said.

“If the market was to open tomorrow, we would enter without much fanfare.”

DAIRY | IMPORT CONCERNS

Imports of imitation dairy products worry sector Proliferation of look-alike products | Processors encouraged to develop dairy products that use real milk

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

EDMONTON — Alberta Milk chair Tom Kootstra has issues that keep him awake at night.

Canada’s border with the United States allows milk products and frozen desserts that look like ice cream to leak northward into the Canadian food supply and pass themselves off as dairy products.

“I want to know my grandchildren drink milk, not reconstituted dairy beverages,” said Kootstra, during a panel discussion at the group’s

annual meeting.

“The use of imported products is another concern for me. The dairy industry has been built on high quality, wholesome natural products, yet imitation products like frozen desserts that look and function like ice cream and analog cheese, especially for the use in the service industry, are eroding our markets.”

Canada’s supply-managed dairy industry protects dairy farmers from most imported products, but can’t shut out the look-like-dairy products, including protein products for athletes, body builders, or alterna-

tives food products.

Kootstra challenged Canadian dairy processors to develop new food products that athletes are looking for, but made with real milk, not artificial proteins and food products.

“The solutions to my issues that keep me awake at night are, producers working together to ensure we meet the processors needs for high quality milk and producers and processors working collaboratively to meet the demands of the consumers.”

Dan Wong, executive director of the Alberta Dairy Council, said too much

time is spent on problems between producers and processors and not enough time understanding the consumer.

“I am not certain we’re focused on the people that matter the most and the people that buy our products. Do we understand our customers are constantly changing?”

Wong said when he started in the industry, the stay-at-home mom made most of the shopping and nutritional decisions for the family, but that is no longer the case.

“It’s more likely that a modern consumer gets their dairy nutrition from

their morning latte and morning yogurt snack rather than four glasses of milk a day,” said Wong.

Instead of the producers and processors debating each other, there should be a more collaborative process to recognize the new consumer, he said.

This year a new milk class for mozzarella cheese served in restaurants was developed by the processing industry. It’s a relatively simple class, but it took seven months of negotiations within the industry to develop, he said.

“Are we focusing on the right things?”

Viterra will contribute $2 million to the Global Institute for Food Security over the next five years.

“We’ve had a lot of success in working with industry partners to find the best practices, whether those practices are in seed technology, items related to yield agronomic improvements,” said Viterra president Kyle Jeworski.

“We’re really confident that partnering with the Global Institute will result in improvements for the farmer base and for overall western Canadian agriculture.”

The University of Saskatchewan, PotashCorp and the Saskatchewan government established the institute last December to increase sustainable crop production, increase global food security and develop a bioeconomy in Western Canada.

“What we’re about is facilitating research … of a particular kind,” said institute deputy director Ernie Barber.

“We’re doing it by investing in people that are in other units, so they’re colleges, they’re in other institutions such as the Natural Resource Council and AgFood Canada.”

Viterra’s contribution is in addition to the initial commitment of $35 million from PotashCorp and $15 million from the provincial government for the next seven years. The contributions will average $7.4 million a year.

The institute’s research projects will focus on healthy soil crop resiliency, value chain optimization and nonfood bio-product and profitability.

Viterra will also provide land near its rural facilities for research projects and identify farmer participants for research trials.

“Along the lines of a broad geographic scope, again, we work very closely with our farmer base day in and day out,” Jeworski said.

The institute is now evaluating research proposals, some from agriculture graduate students at the University of Saskatchewan and hopes to make announcements early next year.

“If we invest $1 million a year in research teams, inevitably that will generate significant opportunities for graduate students in the sense there will be support for graduates, and might I say, undergraduates as well.”

BISON | MEAT LABELLING

GM labelling, feed protocols pose challenge for bison sector International markets | Industry questions how to guarantee GM-free feed

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

©2013 CNH America LLC. All rights reserved. Case IH is a registered trademark of CNH America LLC. www.caseih.com.

Bison producers may have to be concerned about GM labelling after all.

The industry is facing demands for genetically modified food labelling from prominent retailer Whole Foods Market.

The grocery store chain announced earlier this year that all products in its North American stores must be labelled by 2018. Other retailers have also announced similar intentions.

The issue for bison producers lies in feed.

“We have to take a look at where we’re sourcing feed for our animals,” said Dave Carter of the National Bison Association based in Colorado.

There is no test for GM content in meat. For bison, the claim of GMfree will have to be based on feed, he said.

Marketers at the recent Canadian Bison Association annual convention said they don’t yet know how this will play out.

The Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), a recent trade deal between Canada and Europe, could be another reason for GM concern.

The trade deal could see more bison meat heading overseas, but Thomas Ackerman of Canadian Rangelands Bison and Elk said the European market is sensitive to the issue.

“If we have to tell them, we proba-

bly have to reconsider how we feed those bison to keep the market.”

He said a claim of forage-based diets won’t help if GM alfalfa is ever grown and fed to bison.

One producer at the meeting asked if a premium available might be available for bison that could be guaranteed GM-free.

Bob Dineen, chief executive officer of Rocky Mountain Natural Meats in Colorado, said not necessarily.

“There is some research that says labelling GMOs in other places in the world didn’t hurt sales at all,” he said.

“People want to know, but they didn’t necessarily turn away from the product.”

David Hughes, professor emeritus of food marketing at Imperial College in London, England, said he isn’t sure the issue is going to remain so polarizing among consumers.

“If you go forward say 10 years, I see definite cracks in the wall,” he told the meeting.

“Those who are most antagonistic are starting to say, ‘well, it might be all right under certain circumstances.’ ” Those would include using GM crops for fuel or fibre, he added.

Hughes said there is increasing awareness that genetic modification within a species is more acceptable than between species, which will also alter the debate.

Carter said other issues affect bison markets as well.

The U.S. relies on Canada for 40 percent of its bison. If CETA moves

supply to Europe, that could be a problem for at least the short term.

Consumers continue to raise animal welfare concerns in all livestock sectors.

“The challenging thing for us is a lot of consumers don’t know what humane treatment of animals really is,” Carter said.

He said animals have been humanized in people’s minds, but that doesn’t equate to humane treatment. The industry should continue to look at best practices.

The integrity of ranch-raised bison is still a huge issue.

“We’re seeing all of the nonsense out there about cattle genetics in bison and the implications that everybody’s got a Black Angus behind the barn that they’re putting on their animals, or ranched bison are being domesticated and becoming docile,” Carter said.

“We need to stay in front of this.”

As well, the competition from grass-fed and organic beef is everpresent.

He said he likes to remind people when the bison industry is criticized for feed protocols that the gold standard in beef was corn-fed until five years ago.

“The thing the consumers don’t understand is that in the North American climate, it’s really difficult to get a year-round supply of grass-fed on a large scale. That’s why Costco is contracting 31 containers of (organic) trim from Uruguay.”

NIAGARA FALLS, Ont. — Acreage expansion and strong yields have helped Quebec surpass British Columbia as Canada’s No. 1 cranberry producer.

That’s the good news for the Quebec industry.

Simon Bonin, cranberry agrono-

mist with berry processor Fruit d’or Cranberry, said production in the province is likely to be curtailed.

“Actually, there’s too much cranberries on the market,” he told the Ontario Beekeepers’ Association’s recent annual meeting.

“The price is very low. There may be a volume restriction introduced this winter.”

8,000 acres, while producers in B.C.’s Lower Mainland have planted 6,500 acres, said Mike Wallace, executive director of the B.C. Cranberry Growers Association.

Bonin said Quebec has 13 percent of the world’s cranberry acreage, but it accounts for 16 percent of production. It’s a similar situation in Wisconsin, which has 35 percent of the world’s acreage and 43 percent of production.

Worldwide production is 56,000 acres, but Chile is the only major producer outside of North America.

Bonin attended the beekeepers meeting because honeybees can be the difference between success and failure in his industry.

For Ontario beekeeper Brian Rowaan, cranberries and blueberries in Quebec and the Maritimes are central to his pollination business.

“I keep bees because I like to. I pollinate to pay the bills and I’ve made honey because I feel that’s just something I should do,” said Rowaan, who over-winters his bees at Niagara-onthe-Lake.

He beefs up his pollinating crews by placing protein paddies in the hives before heading to Quebec. The added nutrition is essential because cranberries, even more than blueberries, are a nutrient-deficient source of food for bees.

“We’ve learned that you want your hives to look like sumo wrestlers going in,” Rowaan said.

“That means you have to feed them like sumo wrestlers.”

It takes 36,000 foraging bees per acre for adequate pollination. Each flower needs to be pollinated multiple times for maximum production.

“The maximum yield I’ve seen is 70,000 pounds per acre,” Rowaan said. “That means pollinating 32 million flowers per acre with two weeks to do it in.”

He makes his own paddies, which comprise sugar, brewer’s yeast, dried whole egg, water, vegetable oil and lemon juice.

Recent research shows the homemade paddies are less expensive and can provide superior nutrition.

Rowaan also offers pollination services for the Niagara region’s tree fruit crops, but the bulk of his work is in Quebec and the Maritimes.

Cranberr y fields are typically located on low pH soil not suited to conventional agriculture. A layer of sand over clay is best and the location needs to be flat. In Quebec, production is often in forested areas.

Contrary to common belief, cranber r ies are not grow n in bogs, although that’s the term used to describe fields.

The fields, surrounded by dikes, are flooded for the harvest because the cranberries will float to the surface once they have been knocked from the plants. They are also flooded over the winter so that the ice that forms will protect the plants.

Most cranberry producers in Quebec are independent. The opposite is true in British Columbia, where 92 percent of growers are part of the Ocean Spray co-operative.

The catalogue, first produced in 2010, is used during seminars and events and with international missions.

Originally designed as a print piece, it was intended to introduce Alberta exporters to buyers and distributors outside of Canada.

The food section highlights ingredients, baked goods, beverages, honey and meat, while a non-food section covers livestock and genetic materials, animal feed, personal care products and agriculture technology, equipment and supplies.

A new initiative to make the catalogue into a multi-media product will include video clips of Alberta companies showcasing their products and production methods.

Applications from Alberta companies who would like to be included and meet criteria are accepted throughout the year.

RURAL HERITAGE | STORY

History buff catalogues barns in two RMs Disappearing icon | Folklore student is detailing types of design, materials used and stories behind their importance

BY SHIRLEY BYERS FREELANCE WRITER

There used to be barns on every quarter section in southern Saskatchewan, but they are disappearing almost as quickly as prairie elevators.

Of those that remain, some have been repurposed, some are faithfully preserved and some are dying of neglect.

Folklore student Kristin Catherwood doesn’t want any of them to be forgotten. She’s researching and recording the barns in the rural municipalities of Laurier and The Gap, where she grew up, and writing her master’s thesis about them.

She was fascinated with local history from a young age and loved to hear stories of life in days gone by.

She moved to Newfoundland to study folklore at Memorial University in St. John’s but knew that when the time came to write her thesis, she would do it in Saskatchewan about a Saskatchewan topic. One room schools, elevators and barns were all possibilities.

She said her thesis adviser, Gerald Pocius, encouraged her to choose barns for two reasons. “Barns contain so much knowledge of the traditional farming lifestyle, and they are disappearing.”

Her plan is to first conduct a survey to determine how many barns are still standing in the two RMs and what types they are. She also wants to take photos and measurements of each barn.

Next, she will make detailed scale drawings of representative samples of each type.

“That will help me understand how space was used in the barn, how things were laid out, how many stalls, what kind of stalls, how the farmer used that space,” she said.

“I usually spend more than a day doing this. I sit in the barn and notice everything, really read the barn … how it’s uneven, how things were changed over the years to accommodate for new uses.”

All of the barns she has surveyed were put together with nails, as opposed to the older mortise and tenon technique of construction. She said it’s because nails were replacing the older method of fitted joints by the time the province was settled.

Some of them were Eaton’s catalogue barns.

Many people refer to the typical high roofed, big lofted prairie barns as hip roofed, but Catherwood said the two sloped roof is actually correctly called a gambrel roof. A true hip roof is four sided.

Talking to barn owners will be the last step in the project, which she said is the most important part.

“I could just look at the barns, do my measurements, refer to historical documents and not talk to anybody, but for me, as a folklorist, what I’m interested in goes beyond the building,” she said.

“The interviews are where I’ll really get a sense of the importance of these barns.”

She will ask how each barn was built, who built it, when it was built, the purpose for which it was built, the chores that were done in it and when

Many barns were used for community dances, like this one moved to Gregg Adams’s farm near Saskatoon in 2007. |

The Riddle Ranch barn near Carstairs, Alta., is undergoing a facelift to replace cedar shingles nailed in place in 1930. Finding similar shingles involved a lot of research for owner Garry Goudie.

This log barn owned by Ron Heck of Fairview, Alta., is one of few log barns that remain standing. A log house nearby was built about 1929 by englishman George Vaughn and the barn was build a few years earlier. they were done. She will also ask about the stories connected with each barn.

Catherwood said she has already heard wonderful stories.

Several barns were used for barn dances, and it seems that even though there were many barns in each district, one barn would become barn dance central.

One person told her of a barn that caught fire while people were dancing in its loft, but another source doubted the story, saying that although a barn had burned on that site, there likely wasn’t a dance at the time of the fire because several horses were lost in the blaze.

Horses would most likely have been taken out of the barn before a dance because the noise in the loft would make them skittish.

This was in the 1920s, when horses were used to farm the land. The loss would have been catastrophic but the barn was rebuilt and dances were held again. The hay sling was even used to bring a piano up to the loft.

Catherwood, who plans to catalogue every barn in both municipalities, said working on the census a couple of years ago taught her how to strategically cover all the roads in an area. She began her survey in midSeptember and had covered one RM by early November as well as completing some of the scale drawings of representative barns.

“Growing up on a farm, I knew farmers value their privacy,” she said. “(But) I never had anyone chase me out with a shotgun, which is something we were warned about when we were doing the census. Some people really aren’t interested. They don’t care very much. They say, ‘sure, take pictures, but I don’t really know anything about it.’ But most people are very interested, and quite a few are interested to the point I ask if I can come back and interview them. The stories are just pouring out of them.

They’re clearly very passionate about the heritage of these structures and they want to talk.”

She said she always knew people were interested in barns but was surprised by the extent of their interest.

“And it’s not just older people who are nostalgic about that way of life.

It’s also people in their 20s and 30s,” she said.

“They love barns and find them beautiful. There’s been an overwhelmingly positive response.”

In the United States, barns are included in the Census of Farms, which is done every 10 years. As well, Catherwood said the U.S. has the National Barn Alliance, an advocacy group for the preservation of barns.

States often have their own chapters and a few, such as Michigan, have state-wide barn surveys, organized and conducted by volunteers.

“I would love to have something

TYPICAL ROOF DESIGNS

Gable roof This simple roof meets as a right triangle and slopes on two sides.

Gambrel roof This roof has a double slope on each side and is often called a barn roof. This construction permits a large space directly under the roof for storage.

Hip roof This roof is more dynamic than the gable because it has four slopes.

Hip rafters brace the roof, making it sturdier but more difficult to construct than a gable roof.

like that here,” she said.

She hopes the data she’s collecting will be available for anyone to access.

She has worked as a reporter for the local paper in Radville, Sask., and still writes a column for it. She has also been published in other magazines

and blogs about her barn adventures on The Barn Hunter at thebarnhunter.blogspot.ca/.

She might follow up her thesis with a book about the barns of Laurier and The Gap if she feels there is enough interest.

Through the expansion of maize cultivation in the past few years in particular, the plough has regained its importance as a primary cultivator. The reduction of plant diseases, mechanical pest control due to increasing chemical resistance, and the fight against new pests, are among the most important tasks facing a plough today. Recent research has shown that loosening and aerating the root zone, with a plough, can improve the formation of rape roots, for example, thus laying the foundation for high and guaranteed yields.

THE C2 CONTOUR SHEDS TRASH LIKE NEVER BEFORE The next generation C2 Contour let you cut through trash and makes opener adjustments easier. The independent opener features parallel linkage for ultra-precise seed and fertilizer placement. Adjustable packing pressure lets you pull through damp spots. Opener spacing options are 10” and 12”.

At the heart of the C2 Contour’s improved ability to shed trash is the design of the single shank. The reclined 12-degree angle moves trash up and off the shank faster. The distance from the ground level to the catch point has been increased to 21 inches on the C2 Contour, greatly reducing the potential for straw bunching.

ALBERTA FLOOD RECOVERY | PREVENTION STRATEGY

Alberta weighs feasibility of dam to prevent floods Environmental reviews | Task force ponders diversion channel around High River

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

The Alberta government is studying the options for building a large dry dam upstream of Calgary to mitigate risk from future floods.

Premier Alison Redford announced Nov. 21 that environmental reviews are set to begin on the potential dam, as well as a diversion channel around the town of High River.

Roger Drury of TransAlta Utilities said a dam above Calgary would require 150,000 acre-feet of water capacity to prevent overland flooding within the city.

“The ugly part is you’ve got to leave it empty for it to work,” he told the Alberta Irrigation Projects Association conference in Lethbridge Nov. 26.

He thinks such a dam could mitigate flood damage but said it would be a complex undertaking. Its banks would have to be 20 to 50 metres high

and be built to specific safety standards.

Such a dam would have to be about three times the size of the Ghost Reservoir, which is one of six reservoirs upstream of Calgary.

The others are Barrier, Minnewanka, Upper Kananaskis, Lower Kananaskis and Spray.

Drury said the reservoirs reduced water flow into Calgary during the June floods in southern Alberta, but maximum flows from uncontrolled sub-basins contributed to extensive flooding in the city’s downtown.

He said the 2013 flood on the Bow River wasn’t the largest ever experienced in the region in terms of water flow. That record was set in 1897.

Drury believes there is a correlation between Alberta floods and extended periods of cool weather created by the Pacific decadal oscillation, which was at work this year.

Heavy rain on already saturated

ground and the remaining mountain snow pack resulted in high water flows and extensive flooding.

Provincial statistics indicate 14,500 homes, 80 schools and 10 health facilities were damaged in southern Alberta. Approximately 100,000 people were evacuated, 3,000 business affected and 985 kilometres of roads closed.

Andre Corbould, assistant deputy minister on the provincial flood recovery task force, said that kind of impact takes time to assess and repair.

“When the premier talks about a 10 year recovery, we believe that’s about right,” he said.

This year’s flooding is often referred to as a once-in-100-years flood, but Corbould said that’s inaccurate. In fact, there’s a one percent chance in any given year that a major flood will occur.

He said the task force also wants to avoid over-reaction to the flood

ALBERTA FLOODING | RURAL AREAS

Rural residents feel ignored on flood rebuilding, mitigation Information lacking | Rural residents unclear how mitigation efforts to protecting towns and cities will affect them downstream

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Rural Albertans affected by last June’s flood, which is considered the most expensive natural disaster in Canadian history, are frustrated in their plans to recover, rebuild and mitigate future damage.

Most of the attention continues to focus on Calgary and High River, but farmers and acreage owners have few guidelines on how to proceed with rebuilding and flood mitigation, said Shirley Pickering of the Bow River Basin Council.

“There’s a certain acceptance that if we protect the town, we’re doing the noble thing,” Pickering said after a Nov. 26 speech to the Alberta Irrigation Projects Association conference.

However, it’s unclear how berms and flood mitigation measures in High River and Calgary will affect rural dwellers downstream.

“For rural people, the whole flood process is a problem because number one, they’re trying to make decisions about what to do and the flood mapping hasn’t been done, so how is that going to turn out?” she said.

“There’s no real clear process for them. They have to do it on their own, for negotiating whether they’re in a flood plain or not, and they don’t have the information.”

Outdated provincial flood plain mapping became apparent immediately after the flood, and Andre Corbould of the provincial govern-

Alberta’s recovery task force says mapping is part of the post-flood strategy in deciding mitigation measures. | MIKE STURK PHOTO ment’s flood recovery task force said Nov. 27 that mapping is part of the post-flood strategy.

He also acknowledged that getting information to affected municipalities has been a challenge.

Pickering, who lives along the Little Bow River downstream from High River, said some rural landowners are building berms to guard against future flooding, but there are no guidelines or research on how these measures will affect adjacent landowners and others downstream.

Similarly, berms in the town of High River could increase risk for those living downstream if they speed water flow and volume.

She said it appears rural dwellers will be allowed to rebuild or develop near rivers, even though the specific areas aren’t defined.

“They’re going to allow development in fringe areas, but what will that look like, given ground water can rise in those fringe areas and move septic around, or even intensive livestock operations or manure storage?”

In her presentation to AIPA, Pickering showed photos of displaced septic tanks, washed out oil battery sites and containers of potentially toxic chemicals washed into fence lines and tree stands.

In his presentation, Corbould said the key elements of the provincial flood risk mitigation plan are: • Overall watershed management.

• Flood modelling, prediction and warning systems.

• Flood risk management policies.

• Water management and mitiga-

tion infrastructure.

• Erosion control.

• Local mitigation initiatives.

• Individual mitigation measures for homes.

He said measures will include better guidance on future development along rivers.

“The language has been soft in the past and it has allowed people to develop in the floodway,” he said.

Those who build on a flood plain will be expected to bear some responsibility if future flooding occurs.

On private land, she said the goal is to maintain agriculture and explore options for compensating landowners who provide ecological goods and services.

Public lands goals include supporting grazing, protecting biodiversity and addressing species at risk issues.

Yee spoke of the need to manage

sales and conversion of intact grassland.

“We’re not going to sell public lands unless there’s significant potential for irrigation,” she said.

“That would be the first trigger for us to take a look at it, to see … should we be converting it? Should we be selling it? Or is it better to maintain the native grassland?”

Yee said the native grassland issue is expected to attract input, which is welcome through the draft plan website at www.landuse.alberta.ca/

Advertorial

On Farm Research Project Yields Informative Results The Agricultural Research and Extension Council of Alberta (ARECA) has released the final report of their Precision Tools for On Farm Research Project. One of the primary objectives of the study, conducted between 2009 and 2011, was to assess the effects of agronomic inputs on crop yield related to topography.

One part of the study evaluated the efficacy of TagTeam, an inoculant used on field peas. TagTeam was studied because it is an inoculant with two distinct modes of action: a nitrogen-fixing Rhizobium bacteria and the naturally occurring soil fungus Penicillium bilaii, which improves access to soil and fertilizer phosphate.

ARECA used independent field-scale trials to evaluate five treatments against an untreated control sample. The treatments included a single-action (nitrogen-fixing only) Rhizobium inoculant, the same inoculant plus phosphorus fertilizer, TagTeam alone, and TagTeam with two rates of phosphorus fertilizer (5 lbs/ac and 25 lbs/ac). As shown in the graph, TagTeam displayed significantly higher yields than the nitrogen-only inoculant.

Graph #1 represents the results from three treatments: nitrogen-only inoculant (+/- 5 lbs/ac of P) and TagTeam.

Phosphate binds to other elements quickly and easily, which makes it inaccessible to crops, but the bonds can be broken by Penicillium bilaii, present in TagTeam.

When these bonds break, phosphate is made available to the plant at critical times in the growing season.

The project was conducted by staff from several applied research associations and 14 participating farmers. The farmer co-operators were given the appropriate training necessary to monitor yields and report crop yield data to the project staff.

Beverly Yee has no illusions about the complexity of developing the South Saskatchewan Regional Plan.

“This is probably going to be the toughest plan of the seven plans we do,” said the assistant deputy minister for Alberta Environment.

The province has completed one regional plan so far, for the lower Athabasca region, which includes Fort McMurray and extensive oilsands development.

Still, the draft plan for the southern region is expected to be more difficult, with 46 percent of the provincial population, the headwaters for major river systems and competing demands from agriculture, forestry, mining and recreation.

The region also hosts most of the province’s identified species at risk and a sizable portion of its remaining native grassland.

Yee told the Alberta Irrigation Projects Association conference Nov. 27 that a series of public input sessions, now concluded, have illustrated the need to set priorities and establish trade-offs.

Among the proposals in the draft plan are limits for air and surface water quality, flood hazard mapping,

a water storage study and management plans for biodiversity and groundwater.

The Castle area in the southwest, which was the site of protests last year over provincially approved clear cut logging, would see a different type of timber management geared toward protection of the headwaters, said Yee. Land along the eastern slopes and forest reserve is criss-crossed with roads, cut lines, power lines and trails, and Yee said the goal is to man-

CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT: Claas was awarded a gold medal for innovation from the German Agricultural Society for the company’s farm machinery simulator. The online technology allows a new operator or owner of a machine to get to know the machine before entering the cab.

Farmers can also learn how it would typically perform in difficult conditions.

Italian machinery maker Merlo was honoured for its hybrid loader. The machine is a diesel electric unit designed to reduce fuel use whenever possible or run on electric motors when indoors.

It allows producers to cut fuel costs and improve shed and barn air quality.

German farm equipment builder Rauch took a machine type not known for its precision and developed a system that monitors live application rates and patterns and adjusts on the fly. The twin disc applicator uses microwaves to read as-applied product rates and flow.

AirSep is a new approach to sorting clods and rocks from potatoes. By treating the perforated conveyor in the potato picker like sieves on a combine, air is added to gravity in the process of separating potatoes from other material.

Top innovations at Agritechnica German ag society choices | Experts select farm technology innovations that are practical and beneficial to farmers

BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

HANOVER, Germany — The Germ a n A g r i c u l t u ra l S o c i e t y h a s assigned its top awards for farm machinery innovation.

This year’s awards include precision agriculture, farm staff training, hybrid electric machinery and single pass crop processing.

The society’s Agritechnica, where the awards were presented, is the world’s largest farm technology trade show.

More than 3,000 agricultural companies gather in Hanover every other year to exhibit their wares and services.

The four gold and 33 silver medals are decided by the society’s independent experts, including agricultural engineers, professors and farmers.

“We are very select in this process,” Carl-Albrecht Bartmer said during Agritechnica in November.

“These new products must benefit the farmer and be practical. These are not concepts that might serve a role, these fill a need.”

president of the society, said farm equipment and services are advancing faster than at any time in his career.

“We have never had the opportunity as farmers to be more efficient or be more careful with our land and water resources due to technology and (agronomy education) that is currently available to us,” he said.

Claas was awarded a gold medal for its online machinery simulator. The system allows farmers to run through all the operating conditions and tools that a combine, forage harvester or tractor might encounter in the field.

It is a personal computer-based system that allows a farmer to see what faults look like when they occur and evaluate and learn the processes they need to follow to avoid machine damage or crop loss, especially under difficult conditions.

The simulator software allows a producer to learn the new machine before taking it to the field.

Italy’s Merlo is offering a telehandler for the farm that allows producers to run on quiet, emission-free electric power indoors and diesel electric

power outdoors or when the 30 kilowatt lithium battery is run down.

The machine, which can be used for loading, lifting and grappling, runs its diesel engine at a constant speed for both powering the drives and charging the battery.

The Merlo Turbofarmer 40.7 has drive design that allows the system to reduce output from the diesel engine when not all of the power it can produce is being used efficiently without effecting lifting and transporting functions.

It can perform all of its basic tasks using only the electric powered drives when the machine idling. Fuel costs are reduced 30 percent over a similar diesel-only machine.

The Turbofarmer can also be plugged in for charging when it is parked to save even more on energy consumption.

Rauch won an award for its Axmat technology, which limits the pattern and rate of a twin disc fertilizer spreader.

Disc spreaders have typically been considered the least accurate of fertilizer application methods. Several

companies offer tools that anticipate spread and rate and apply limits, but Rauch took the solution a step further by using microwave sensors to monitor flow, spread and velocity and using the data to adjust the actual rate on the fly.

The Axmat system actively manages the rate of flow by adjusting functions such as the aperture of the fertilizer feeder, the setting of the distributor disc and fan speed to create the right pattern that avoids overlaps, field edge over-runs, headland control and misses within the range of the machine’s spread. The result is more evenly developing crops and reduced fertilizer losses.

German potato and beet machinery specialist Grimme received a gold medal for its AirSep separator, which uses high airflow to lift lighter potatoes away from heavier soil and rocks.

Potato growers not only have to harvest their crop from the soil but must also clean it, either by using a slow, mechanical method within the harvester or removing tuber sized rocks

and clods back at the yard.

Most impurities can be beaten out of the harvested crop on the go, given enough time, vibration and rotation.

However, this has been one of the capacity limiting features of a potato harvester.

The German machine pushes high airflows up from under a perforated potato conveyor. The air lifts the potatoes, blows off light material and allows anything heavier than the tubers to fall through the conveyor and back into the field.

Farmers can adjust the separation from the tractor’s cab by setting the angle of the conveyor and the airflow.

The system produces a much cleaner sample and allows farmers to plant potatoes into soil that would normally require regular spring rock picking and tillage. In a worst case scenario, farmers wouldn’t even bother planting potatoes in those fields.

SOLAR ENERGY | CONSERVATION

Light at the end of the power bill On or off the grid? | Expert advises a combination of solar energy and grid power

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

STETTLER, Alta. — It was the sight of their power bill that drove Harry Brook and his wife to build an energy efficient, solar powered house that was off the electrical grid.

“I feel a little smug when I say, ‘I don’t pay any power bills,’ ” said Brook, who lives near Stettler.

An Alberta energy bill is a combination of energy distribution fees, wire service provider fees, administrative fees and energy consumption, which actually makes up a small portion of the bill.

“It drives my blood pressure up when I used to see the bills,” Brook said at a Solar Energy workshop.

Brook estimates it will take 25 years to pay off his $30,000 system of modules, inverters and batteries, but it was more of a “philosophical than practical” decision to go off the grid.

He said using solar energy for electricity will be a natural choice for many Albertans as the price of energy increases and the cost of solar modules decreases.

“You will never have a power outage.”

Brook recommended that families examine their power consumption before looking at alternative energy solutions. He uses an electrical flow meter to determine which appliances are sucking energy.

“I used to be a big believer in buying used appliances,” he said. “I am now a believer in buying appliances to get the most efficiency possible. The best dollars spent is conservation.”

The water and sewer pumps are big electrical draws for the Brooks.

“I’m conscious every time my wife washes and dries her hair. I hope the sun is out. Having solar makes you hyper aware of your power consumption,” he said.

“Conservation is really important.”

Brook has mounted eight, 215-watt Sanyo solar modules on a single pole to help reduce the amount of snow sticking to the panels in winter.

Brook stores energy in two 2,200-pound batteries with 67 kilowatts of storage. It’s adequate during the summer when the sun is out but in the winter is supplemented by a diesel generator.

Not everyone is buying into the idea of going off the grid.

Werner Strohhaecker of Daysland, Alta., said it seemed like just another job.

“It’s completely out to lunch for farmers.”

He said he would rather use the money on extra insulation or buy more energy efficient livestock waterers.

Tony and Clara Nibourg of Halkirk, Alta., have an array of solar modules to help offset the cost of electricity on their farm. Last year their 38-module system generated 13 megawatts of energy. Some was used on the farm for watering their 400 head of cattle, welding and other farm operations.

The rest was sold back to the province’s electrical system.

They were paid 15 cents a kilowatt for the electricity they generated when the system was first installed, but new provincial rules have dropped that to 7.25 cents per kilowatt. His last monthly farm bill was $56.

“We didn’t look into off grid. It’s a

job if it’s off the grid,” said Clara.

“It’s an extra simple system.”

Gordon Howell, a solar energy expert who develops, designs and commissions the installation of solar electrical systems, said the combination of solar energy and staying on the grid is the easiest and most efficient combination.

He recommended that novices buy a $3,000 low-cost system and add solar PV modules as money and enthusiasm allows.

There are now 780 solar systems in Alberta and 30,000 in Canada, and the market is growing by 50 percent a year as technology develops and

prices drop.

Howell said solar PV modules now cost about $1 per watt, while inverters, which are required to convert energy from DC to AC, cost 55 cents to $1 a watt. An entire system can cost $2.80 to $4 per watt.

A $40,000 system 10 years ago now costs $9,000 and has a payback of less than 15 years.

Howell has lots of graphs and formulas for placing modules for maximum efficiency, but he recommended placing the modules on an existing house roof or barn.

“Stick it on the cheapest angle and get it on there.”

Some rural residents praise the benefits of generating their electricity and going off the grid, but others don’t think it’s worth the effort. | FILE PHOTO

COOL STORED GRAIN TO PREVENT INSECT PROBLEMS Lost grain due to moisture is often related to insect development. Stored grain goes through phases that put it at risk to damage based on the temperature of the commodity at various points throughout the year.

In contrast, aeration requires lower airflow of .1 cubic feet per minute per bu. at the top of the bin.

Smaller kernelled crops require larger volumes of airflow when drying. For example, wheat and barley will start drying at .75 to 1 cubic feet per minute, but canola and flax require one to two cubic feet per minute per bu. to facilitate drying.

Matching the fan to the bin size and crop type is key to success.

“The most popular bin in Western Canada is a 5,000 bu. hopper bin right now, from a hopper bin perspective,” Johnson said, which re-quires five horsepower, high-speed fans.

He cautioned farmers to keep ventilation in mind, using the general guide of one sq. foot of vent for every 1,000 cubic feet per minute.

“Don’t kid yourselves, guys have bulged their roofs or blown the roofs right off their bins” by using powerful fans without enough vents, he said.

Farmers in southern Alberta are close to the manufacturing centre for AGI’s grain storage and conditioning equipment.

The plant in Nobleford, Alta., north of Lethbridge, completed a $25 million expansion in 2011 and has 150,000 sq. feet of manufacturing space.

Risk management tools are tall, circular and silver in Derek Johnson’s world.

The sales manager of grain storage and conditioning equipment for AGI says grain bins are key to farmers’ risk management strategy now that they are achieving higher yields and storing crops longer to capitalize on commodity markets.

Speaking at a UFA storage insights seminar Nov. 25, Johnson said there was big demand for bins and aeration equipment this year, which is a good sign for his business and for farmers’ businesses.

“Treat your storage like you would your other commodities on your farm, like your canola seed or your fertilizer,” he advised after his presentation.

“Start saying, ‘OK, look, I know I’m going to be producing X number of bushels per acre over the long haul. I need to update my storage on my farm.’ That’s where we want to get the farmer mentality,” he said.

“Storage is a relatively cheap investment over the long haul … and aeration is a really key element in the whole risk management strategy.”

As an example, 5,000 bushels of canola at $10.47 per bu., which are worth $52,350, costs $23,300 to produce.

With $3,450 spent on aeration equipment and an estimated $112 to run it for two weeks, it costs $3,562 to protect and preserve $29,050 worth of canola.

Johnson said that makes good business sense, but it depends on good storage and bin management. Wheat stored at 25 C and 19 percent moisture will begin to deteriorate in five to eight days, and “five days at harvest time goes by pretty quick.”

Drying crop in the bin requires a large volume of airflow, at .75 to 1.5 cubic feet per minute, per bushel, at the top of the bin, and drying won’t

ENERGY | BIOFUEL FEEDSTOCK

Camelina seen as sustainable option for biofuel production Low input cost | Europe has developed sustainability standards for agricultural products and breeders are working to certify camelina

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

If sustainability is the new measuring stick for crops, then camelina ranks as high or higher than any crop in North America.

Christina Eynck, a plant breeder for Linnaeus Plant Sciences, which is developing oilseed crops that could be used to produce biodegradable industrial oil, said the oilseed scores high in a number of sustainability categories: • It isn’t a traditional food crop, which helps avoid the food versus fuel debate.

• It is drought tolerant and has natural resistance to blackleg and flea beetles, which reduces the need for insecticides and fungicides.

• It requires less nitrogen than other brassica crops, which makes it more sustainable.

“You want to use a feedstock that has the lowest input costs possible,” Eynck said He said a crop that uses less water, fertilizer and pesticides is attractive in Europe, where organizations have developed sustainability standards for agricultural products and biomaterials.

“We’re working right now on our application to get our camelina supply chain RSB certified, which is the Roundtable of Sustainable Biofuels,” Eynck said from her office in Saskatoon.

“If you want to sell anything to Europe, it has to certified either by RSB or ISCC (International Sustainability and Carbon Certification).”

Linnaeus hopes to certify its camelina variety, known as Midas, to satisfy European sustainability rules sometime in 2014.

We’re working right now on our application to get our camelina supply chain RSB certified, which is the Roundtable of Sustainable Biofuels.

CHRISTINA EYNCK LINNAEUS PLANT SCIENCES BREEDER

In the meantime, the company needs Canadian farmers to grow the variety. Linnaeus plans to contract 5,000 acres of Midas in 2014, almost entirely in Saskatchewan.

Linnaeus president Jack Grushcow said the company is still working on the contract price, but a rough estimate is $9 to $10 per bushel.

The contracted production will be sold to an American company for biodiesel production.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced earlier this year that camelina oil meets the criteria for a biomass based diesel or advanced biofuel.

The decision means camelina satisfies the U.S. Renewable Fuel Standards for the next generation of biofuel.

It is positive news, but Grushcow said Linnaeus has its sights on industrial uses of camelina oil, such as lubricants, hydraulic fluids and feedstock for plastics and polymers.

“We’re going to go ahead and develop a … crop business so we can get growers to have experience with the crop,” he said.

“But to us, really, the future of this crop is in GM varieties that (will be) substitutes for petroleum in lubricants.”

Linnaeus entered a licensing agreement with DuPont in 2010 to accelerate the “commercialization of value added camelina oil.”

Through that arrangement, the two companies are developing genetically modified varieties of camelina and varieties with high oleic content.

“High oleic varieties and other specialty varieties where we can pay farmers significantly more…. Things that are worth a couple of bucks per pound, rather than some guy wanting to pay 20 cents per lb. for the oil.”

Eynck said Europeans are interested in alternative oilseed crops such as camelina because they are concerned about the sustainability of palm oil.

Numerous environmental groups and non-governmental organizations are actively lobbying against the deforestation and habitat destruction linked to palm oil plantations in Indonesia and Malaysia.

In contrast, camelina offers multiple environmental benefits, including a spring source of food for bees.

U.S. Department of Agriculture scientists are studying how winter camelina affects bee health in the upper Midwest. Camelina planted in the fall flowers early in the spring, providing a source of food for foraging bees.

In Canada, Linnaeus is touting a rotation of spring camelina and winter wheat. Camelina is a short season crop, maturing in 85 to 100 days.

Farmers could harvest the camelina earlier than canola and still have time to seed a winter wheat crop in September.

Winter wheat produces higher yields than spring wheat and also provides nesting cover for migratory birds in the spring.

he Ameristep Doghouse is a camouflaged, tent-like ground blind that keeps hunters out of site and mobile.

It comes with a basic backpack case for easy transport through the field to the deployment site.

The loaded backpack is 24 inches in diameter, two inches thick and weighs 14 pounds.

The blind is easy to set up and is 60 inches square and 68 inches tall when deployed, which is just enough room for two hunters seated on folding stools.

The exterior of the Ameristep Doghouse comes in two Realtree camouflage patterns. The colouration of these patterns seems best suited for the fall season before snowfall.

External ties around the blind may be used to attach natural cover and further break up its domed outline.

The interior is entirely black.

The door and windows have quality zippers. The door operates easily and is generously sized to allow through a geared hunter.

The three observation sides have small porthole windows covered with camouflaged, replaceable, shootthrough mesh. These sides can also be opened with wide windows.

The openings can be adjusted easily with the zippers. The floorless design allows hunters to easily modify the natural ground conditions to minimize their noise profile.

The walls and support poles are made from quality materials. Our test blind resisted heavy scratching from tree branches. The weight of wet snow from an overnight blizzard caused the blind to understandably collapse. The unit popped back up on its own after it was brushed off. Only the upper dome poles needed a bit of readjusting, and we were back in action.

The blind is also a good wind shelter, even in freezing weather, when it is occupied and the windows are properly arranged.

It seems like a good idea to have shoot-through portholes, but the mesh prevented occupants from operating its zippers. To adjust the porthole zippers, one would need to go outside or tear the noisy interior Velcro that holds the mesh in place.

Opening the larger windows may be properly done from the inside, but the camouflaged mesh does not cover them.

These design shortcomings could be easily addressed with mesh over the exterior of the full-sized windows that is attached with Velcro for easy replacement.

The two woodland camouflage patterns are insufficient for good concealment after snowfall. A third winter pattern would be valuable.

Packing up the blind is a quick and simple process. There is a trick to the final folding down of the springy walls, but the included directions are reasonably clear.

RURAL INFRASTRUCTURE | FUNDING

Municipalities struggle with cost of absorbing towns Deficit burdens | When a community dissolves, a bigger municipality must take over to provide services and fix infrastructure

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

EDMON TON — It ’s t h e r u ral municipality equivalent of buying a house and a week later finding out the house needed major renovations.

When Camrose County absorbed the small village of New Norway a year ago, it knew the infrastructure was in need of repair, but it didn’t know how badly.

Ten days after taking control of the village, Alberta Environment sent Camrose County a letter demanding the municipality bring the water and waste water systems up to code, at a cost of $6 million.

“We were caught a bit flat footed,” said reeve Don Gregorwich.

Gregorwich recently supported a resolution at the Alberta Association of Municipal Districts and Counties convention that asked councillors to support a plan encouraging government to help cover infrastructure funding when a municipality is forced to absorb another municipality.

The resolution was overwhelmingly approved.

Rural municipalities across the province will struggle with the same financial problems as Alberta’s rural population continues to decline and towns and villages struggle to find money to pay for old services.

“A great many counties will find themselves in the same situation,” said Gregorwich.

Alberta’s population grows by about 100,000 people a year, but few want to move to rural communities with crumbling sidewalks and deteriorating water and sewer systems.

“These communities are suffering from a lack of funds to maintain themselves,” he said.

The provincial government has a $50,000 grant to assess problems in small towns when they are being absorbed, but extra money isn’t allocated to fix the problems.

Government officials point to Municipal Sustainability Initiative grants as ways to pay for repairs, but Gregorwich said his county’s MSI grants were already allocated to other projects. In the end, Camrose County borrowed the $6 million to make the necessary repairs and added the cost to local New Norway homes and businesses to be paid over the next 20 years.

Bruce Beattie, reeve of Mountain View County, said the municipality is going through the same process with the Village of Cremona. Instead of absorbing the village, Beattie said the county is working with the community to help it survive and stand on its own.

“There is no recognition of the infrastructure deficit when absorbing villages,” Beattie said.

“The burden falls on the rural municipality. It is downloaded on the rural municipality.”

Six Alberta communities have dissolved into the surrounding municipalities in the past five years: Tilley to Newell County, New Norway to Camrose County, Derwent to the County of Two Hills, New Sarepta to Leduc County, Kinuso to the Municipal District of Big Lakes and Thorhild to Thorhild County.

The villages of Cremona and Minburn are going through a viability process to look at their future.

However, the bill has to be paid.

reation fees.

“We’d rather have towns and villages remain viable and their own community.”

Gregorwich said helping New Norway maintain its own community is also important for Camrose County.

“We recognize the New Norway community has been around for 100 years.

They still have a tremendous amount of strength within the village boundaries and surrounding areas. That sense of community won’t go away.”

However, Beattie said that while the community won’t go away, the issue isn’t going to go away either.

Beattie said the bigger municipality can’t reject a decision to dissolve a community into the surrounding municipality.

“The absorbing municipality does not have a say in the matter. We have no ability to say no we don’t want it.”

Cremona’s viability discussions were put on hold until after the recent municipal elections, but Beattie believes the best option is to help small communities stay viable.

Feedlots partner to promote Angus Supply local food markets | Alberta feedlots share information with producers, feeders and packers

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

A partnership between five Alberta feedlots and the Certified Angus Beef program is the first of its kind in Canada.

The feedlots will be looking for more Black Angus cattle to fit the program criteria and fill the growing demand for the branded program in Canada.

“We are working with the certified Angus beef people and the Canadian Angus Association to build relationships with Angus producers so we can find better ways to procure cattle and share information,” said Ryan Kasko, one of the feedlot owners.

“Their goal is to deliver a high quality product to our customer, which is Cargill.”

T h e A l l i e d Ma rk e t i n g G ro u p includes Kasko, Les Wall, Ed Stronks,

Leighton Kolk and Shawn Murray, all based in southern Alberta’s feedlot alley.

The group was formed in 2010 and manages 11 feedlots with a one-time capacity of more than 110,000 head.

Each business maintains its independence, but they work together to feed Angus cattle and support a database that can link producers, feeders and packers. Information can be passed back from the packer so that producers can see where they fit and if changes are needed in their breeding programs.

“I can tell you exactly how every individual animal did and get that back to you,” Kasko said.

“We want to work with producers who have good cattle and have a desire to make them better.”

There is no specific feeding or health protocol, but the group has already set certain standards, which

dovetail with what is required to produce a certified product.

More Canadian establishments are becoming licensed to sell beef that was probably locally supplied, said Larry Corah, vice-president of supply management for Canadian Angus Beef.

“They are trying to cultivate a program to collect Angus cattle that could qualify. The only real criteria we have put on the feedlot is they have to be interested in feeding Angus cattle.”

The program can provide advice on sorting cattle or improving carcasses but mainly allows its suppliers to produce beef the best way they know how and hopefully return premiums to everyone in the chain.

“We give them information on sorting the cattle because a lot of the time sorting will improve the quality grade, but if they use that, it’s up to

them,” he said.

Cattle buyers can also source potential cattle for the program through the Canadian Angus Association’s green tag program. The ear tags identify cattle with Angus parentage.

“They can use the green tag system to identify the genetic merit of Angus cattle because the green tag goes back to the sire,” Corah said.

He likes this program because it is building connections from the farm to the consumer. Improved communication between feedlots and producers can only lead to better things and pay more for those with the right kind of cattle, he added.

“I am not aware of anything where a feedlot interfaces with a cow-calf producer,” Corah said.

“To create that perfect eating experience, it has to go all the way back to the ranch and the genetics.”

The program has also started inviting chefs to visit ranches to show them where their beef comes from. It hosted about 60 chefs in Alberta last year.

The branded beef program is celebrating its 35th anniversary and has recorded growth for the last seven years.

The Certified Angus Beef program has reported that more than 60 million pounds were sold a month in its last fiscal year ending in September.

Individual sales records were set in 10 of those months. The highest level was in August, with sales of 83 million lb.

Canada produced five million lb. for the program last year with sales up seven to eight percent.

The network, comprising 16,000 licensed partners worldwide, sold 865 million lb. in the year that ended Sept. 30, an increase of nearly seven percent, or 54 million lb.

SWINE | TRACEABILITY

Pig tracing program requires producers to report movement

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Mandatory reporting of pig movement starts in July.

“Any movement of pigs that is on a road must be reported to a centralized database, both at shipping and receiving,” said Jeff Clark, national

manager of the Canadian Pork Council’s Pig Trace program.

It is part of a national traceability scheme to keep track of livestock in the event of disease or other natural disaster. The pork industry is the first to l au n c h nati o na l m ov e m e nt reporting for domestic, import and export travel.

“The pig industry will be taking the first leap into a national reporting system,” Clark said. “In the pig industry, we have an information platform that can be used across commodities.”

The program will be launched in January to build awareness and becomes law July 1.

Pig Trace is a national movement

document that requires source and destination locations, number of pigs transported, vehicle license plate, date and time of shipping and official identification such as tattoo numbers.

Farmers will need to get premise identification numbers from their home provinces as soon as possible.

The program aims to provide ani-

mal health and food safety officials with the best possible information regarding pig identification and movement by requiring anyone handling pigs to report movement information within seven days.

NEW BEEF CODE OF PRACTICE | VALUABLE INFORMATION

Lots of valuable information in updated beef code of practice how to prevent cases in the future.

Everyone should read the section on respiratory disease and how to prevent it.

The code has a section on calving, with information on when to help a cow, complete with timelines. There is another appendix on condition scoring.

For biosecurity reasons, avoid using dairy cow colostrum and use colostrum only from the farm or from good commercial products.

The code also notes coming deadlines, such as Jan. 1, 2016, when pain control will be required during dehorning after the horn bud is attached and when castrating bulls older than nine months. This will

improve animal welfare and allow cattle to grow and do better. The economic cost of the pain control products will be returned many fold.

The code covers unacceptable euthanasia methods. As well, veterinarians and producers should tranquilize more fractious animals for their sakes as well as their own.

The code contains helpful contact numbers such as producer organizations and animal care groups.

The document was produced under the direction of the National Farm Animal Care Council with lots of input from provincial animal care bodies and volunteer consultants. I believe the group was objective.

Producers from British Columbia

to the Maritimes, experienced or novice, will find something of value in this document.

It will make us all better cattle producers, and productivity should improve, even as we address animal welfare concerns.

I hope this document will undergo a slight review every five years so that changes can be made on an ongoing basis. We don’t want to wait another 22 years for the next code of practice.

To obtain a copy of the code, visit the CCA website at www.cattle.ca or the NFACC website at www.nfacc.ca.

veryone involved in the beef industry, whether they are producers, transporters, marketers, nutritionists or veterinarians, should read the new Beef Code of Practice.

It is the first update since 1991.

It may seem long at 56 pages, but there is something in the document for everyone, and the table of contents makes it easy to follow and find a specific section.

As a veterinarian, I learned a few new things, and it will get you thinking of others.

Some hard and fast rules are coming, particularly regarding castrating and dehorning, but they are for the good and will benefit cattle production, both from an economic and animal welfare standpoint, well into the future.

I’ll cover some of the highlights here, but it is worth printing a copy for the coffee table or other prominent reading place for everyone to peruse.

The beef code is a guideline for most of the areas involved in raising cattle, such as describing the basic freedoms of cattle, care and handling, transportation, common veterinary procedures and when to euthanize.

It provides cut-off numbers for health. For example, a humidity index higher than 740 is serious when talking about heat stress, and ammonia levels inside a barn higher than 25 parts per million are hazardous.

Even more guideline numbers would have been useful because this will become a reference source for producers.

Regarding animal welfare, the code says producers should use prods less than five percent of the time. This is a number I have heard from animal behaviour expert Temple Grandin many times.

There is either something wrong with your handling facility or you are abusing the prod if you need to prod more than one animal in every 20 or use too much vocalization. Use the prod only as the last resort. We often use flags, paddles or rattles when handling cattle.

The biggest problem in handling facilities is keeping cattle split up because they want to follow the leader. Provide traction to minimize cattle trips, slips and falls.

We monitor slips out of the chute when processing. Producers can sometimes solve this by throwing dried manure or sand in front of the chute.

When it comes to hydration, the code says eating snow for water is fine except for lactating cows and newly weaned calves. I probably would have added cows in their third trimester.

Be aware of stray voltage if cattle are reluctant to drink. Restrict cattle from areas of thin ice. Common sense should prevail, but every year we hear of a few dugout deaths from cattle piling up on the ice and it giving

way. These catastrophes usually involve several head.

Regarding more general health conditions, establish an ongoing veterinary client patient relationship with your vet so he or she can advise on treatment, animal welfare issues, vaccination protocols, and many other factors that keep herds healthy and productive.

Prevention is far better than treatment. A good rule to follow with lame cattle is to reassess or seek veterinary advice if the initial treatment fails.

There are many causes of lameness other than foot rot.

Seek advice from a veterinarian or nutritionist if the problem is laminitis from grain overload to determine

HOGS | MARKET OUTLOOK

MEMORY | BUYER AND FRIEND

Hog sector needs Chinese markets: processor

BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The future of Canadian hogs lies in China, says a major processor.

Olymel president Rejean Nadeau told a Saskatchewan pork industry symposium last week that the market’s potential is the source for optimism in an often beleaguered industry.

“The markets have to be opened up,” said Nadeau.

“The domestic market cannot absorb Canadian pork production, especially when American products are increasingly present on our domestic supermarket shelves.”

Quebec-based Olymel slaughters 40,000 hogs a week at its facility in

Red Deer, which Naduea said is much less than the facility’s capacity.

Nadeau said access to western ports, room to expand and competitive grain prices means the company is well-positioned to serve the Asian market using its assets in Western Canada.

“Everything is in place and we have to be optimistic in the long run.”

This year, Olymel completed the purchase of Big Sky Farms in Saskatchewan, which, along with independent producers, will supply Olymel’s Alberta pant with Payleanfree animals.

The European Union, Russia and China have banned ractopamine feed additives.

Nadeau said a Chinese firm’s multibillion-dollar purchase of Smithfield, the largest pork processor in the United States, shows how much demand exists in that market. “(It) sends a clear signal that the Chinese market has and will have a huge appetite for imported pork,” said Nadeau. “Imagine if Western Canada could own only five percent of the Chinese market.”

Nadeau criticized Canadian officials for failing to complete a free trade deal with South Korea when other countries, including the U.S., have already done so.

He was more enthusiastic about Canada’s inclusion in talks with the Trans-Pacific Partnership for Asia-

Pacific trade than he was about the recently completed Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement with the European Union.

That agreement will allow 75,000 tonnes of Canadian pork to move into the EU, up from the previous quota of 6,000 tonnes.

He said it’s a positive development, but only a handful of Canadian plants are certified for export to Europe.

More than 740,000 tonnes of pork products were exported last year to Canada’s top markets: the U.S., Japan and Russia.

Olymel plans to phase gestation crates out of its supply chain by 2022. “ We mu st conclude that this change is inevitable,” said Nadeau.

uyers and sellers are two different fellers. That’s how the old saying goes.

When it came to our calves and yearlings, our family has always been a seller, and, more often than not, the cattle buyer was a man named Art. Now Art and Dad, or Art and I, may have been different fellers, as buyers and sellers, but we always felt he treated us fairly, and he was our friend. There was a lot of loyalty in Art, and he got a lot of loyalty in return.

Other cattle buyers would look at our area as a pretty tough place to break in and make a deal. For years, Art bought most of the cattle.

I reckon that being a friend, beyond the cattle sale, earned him that loyalty. Sometimes he’d stop and visit, even when there weren’t cattle to look at. He’d bring a little something by for Christmas, either food or a gift.

He was there to offer condolences when Mom and Dad passed away and he supported me when I was campaigning for public office. He’d always have a candy or something for the kids when they came with us to the local scale to weigh calves.

Art was still buying cattle well into his 80s, darn near right until the end.

Nikki and I heard about Art’s passing on a beautiful fall day when we were doing what cattle buyers appreciate — getting those calves vaccinated a few weeks before weaning.

While we sorted the cattle in our old pens by the barn, I thought of all the years we sorted cattle in those same pens for Art and sale day. There were a lot of trips to our local rancherowned scale in Towner, or to the farm scale where he bought cattle for years.

At the end, there was always coffee and doughnuts and a cheque to pay last year’s bills and, hopefully, get us started on the next year.

Art loved buying cattle. Some might say he loved it too much, or he bought too many, but no one can deny he spent his life doing what he liked. Much of that life was driving the back roads to ranches and talking on the phone, sometimes simultaneously.

One of my favourite stories I heard about Art was when he was at a sale barn, bidding and buying calves, and, of course, talking on the phone.

Well, as the story goes, he ended up having a phone in each hand when a set of calves that he really wanted to bid on came into the ring.

Now, to buy cattle, it’s best to have a hand to bid with, but with both hands tied up and the auctioneer slowing for no man, Art did the only thing he could and he started bidding with his hips while he was talking on two phones. It was said that the gyrating hip movements of Elvis himself paled in comparison.

I think it’s a true story, best told in person with the accompanying hip action. I hope he got the calves that day with the creative bid.

BISON RESEARCH | FEED COST STUDY

Rolled oats or whole? No difference in bison study Rolling oats costs more | Live weights, carcass weights, grades and dressing percentages showed no statistical difference STORIES BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Feeding rolled oats to bison costs more than feeding whole oats and has no effect on the finished animal.

Jayson Galbraith, a bison specialist with Alberta Agriculture, said a study conducted in the summer and fall of 2012 found it cost $15.25 more per feeding to roll the oats.

“We found some increased costs in rolling (and) a benefit to the electric roller,” he told the Canadian Bison Association’s annual convention.

“The end live weights, carcass weights, grades and dressing percentages show no statistical difference between rolled and whole oats.”

The study took place at Canadian

Rangeland Bison and Elk near Lacombe, Alta. Chief executive officer Thomas Ackerman said it was important to conduct the study in a commercial setting.

“We need to finish animals at the proper level,” he said. “However, it has to be done in the most economical way.”

The 90-day study included 200 bulls in 10 pens on 30 acres at his facility.

Each pen had a 24-foot feed bunk for the 20 bulls, allowing lots of room for all of them to eat. Minerals were fed as part of the feed and salt blocks were placed in the bunks.

Half of the pens received whole oats and half received rolled oats. The study used Morgan oats.

Ackerman said an electric mill was used to roll the oats half the time and a power take-off powered mill was used the other half.

“We tried to stay in the real world as much as possible. Nothing was adapted on the machinery.”

Some real world issues were at play, however. Two bulls were able to jump into different pens despite the use of 5.5-foot heavy-duty panels, Ackerman said.

Last year was also bad for mycoplasma in bison cow herds. Ackerman said he thought the trial would be unaffected because no cows were on site, but a pneumonia outbreak occurred among feeder cattle in a different area of the farm halfway through the study.

That triggered mycoplasma, which spread, and eventually five bulls were lost from the trial.

Ackerman said he also noticed that pink eye affects feeding. The healthier animals would push away bulls with just one eye infected, even with only 20 in a pen and lots of feed bunk space.

The animals moved to slaughter in Lacombe in pairs that included one from each feeding method. Two were condemned at that point when scar tissue and pus from mycoplasma was discovered.

However, no difference was found in the end between the two feeding groups in the percentage of carcasses that graded A1, A2, A3 or B, said Galbraith.

“That was one of the things we wanted to measure and take note of because at the end of the day, that’s one of the things that could affect payment and the bottom line."

Future studies will be required to determine the reason for that.

One producer at the convention asked if consumption of one type of feed was higher than the other.

Ackerman said the researchers couldn’t see a difference between groups. There was more variety within the pens than between the pens, he added.

Galbraith said a benefit of the study is that 10 pens are ready to go for future trials in a commercial setting.

Ackerman said he still has a mill sitting around and probably for sale.

BISON RESEARCH | HIGH GRAIN DIET

Bison fail to reap weight gain advantages from high grain diet There appears to be no advantage to feeding bison the same high grain diet as cattle, says University of Saskatchewan researcher Greg Penner.

“Bison probably are not as good at tolerating a high grain diet as beef cattle,” he told the Canadian Bison Association annual convention in Regina.

It’s because their rumens produce a lot of acid when they consume a lot of starch. Problems occur if the rate of production is greater than the rate of removal.

He said bison can’t absorb the nutrients they need.

“We want lots of acid production to allow for a lot of nutrient availability, but if we go too far we actually compromise the animal and we start decreasing that acid absorption.”

Penner’s study arose from the fact that bison can take 246 to 413 days to reach a 950 pound slaughter weight. Feeding grain can improve consistency and reduce days on feed.

The study included 23 Plains bison bulls from Elk Island National Park and 23 beef bulls, placed in pens of three.

The animals were fed diets in which the ratio of barley increased over

time. The study included backgrounding and finishing diets.

“We started them off consuming about 65 percent barley silage, 25 percent barley grain and 10 percent of a backgrounding pellet,” Penner said.

The bison ate this diet for seven days, moved to 55 percent silage and 35 percent grain for another seven days and then to 45 percent silage and 45 percent grain.

T h e f i n i s h i n g d i e t b e ga n t h e same, except for the use of a finishing pellet, and then changed every four days until, at 28 days, they were eating 10 percent silage and

80 percent grain.

“One of the major problems we saw was incredible variation in dry matter intake in our bison animals,” Penner said.

They ate less and didn’t consume more energy, even though they were provided with more energy in the feed.

The beef bulls overall consumed far more feed than the bison.

Rumen pH, measured by orally administered meters, found high pH values in bison during backgrounding and lower values during finishing. The cattle numbers were about the same for each diet.

“What this suggests to me is bison are having a lot more difficulty in terms of regulating rumen pH, especially as they start seeing high grain diets,” he said.

This could lead to rumen acidosis and liver damage when bacteria leak through a damaged rumen wall.

The study was short, at 45 days, and Penner said more work is required.

“The biggest thing we learned is we can’t raise bison like cattle and we saw a big reduction in feed intake as we moved those bison to high-grain diets,” he said.

“We did not improve performance.

We did not reduce variation.”

Cattle app syncs farm, phone ICalve | Alberta couple develops application that stores records and calculates calving due dates

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

It’s not a pretty sight when the calving book falls from a pocket and lands in the snow and slop during the busy calving season.

Jake and Tanya Meyer, cow-calf producers near Lethbridge, decided to avoid that scenario by designing a calving records application for mobile phones and tablets.

ICalve, an app compatible with Apple products, was officially released Nov. 12, and an Android version is in development.

“We’ve had some really great feedback and uptake from the industry,” said Jake Meyer. “It’s a world market.

We’ve had some buyers in the U.K. already, some in Australia and of course a pile in the United States.”

The program stores calving records, including the basic data of birth date, birth weight, sex, identification, death loss, culls and vaccination.

It also has a gestation calendar that automatically calculates calving due dates based on dates of breeding.

Information is backed up using iCloud, “so in case you do lose your phone, or your wife washes it or

The Meyers’ iCalve app stores calving records which can be backed up to iCloud and exported from phones and tablets for printing. whatever, you still have your records.

They’re backed up,” said Meyer.

Records can also be exported to a PDF file and printed for ease of use during branding and tagging, which will likely be useful to record Canadian Cattle Identification Agency tags.

Neither Meyer nor his wife are soft-

ware developers, but when they got the idea for a calving app and didn’t find anything already available, they made a business plan and hired a developer in India to design it.

“It’s a very simple app. We definitely designed it so your average producer could navigate through it without

being overwhelmed or confused.”

It was tempting to add options to the program while it was in development, but Meyer said they resisted the temptation.

“We tried to keep it very simple and not get too technical. Once we started building it, it was really easy to start putting all this wild stuff in there … but we kind of decided we want it simple. We want calving records. We don’t want to build an entire ranch management software suite.”

Meyer hasn’t used the app for his own calving season because it was just released and his herd won’t start calving until March. However, he has already inputted hundreds of records to test it, and the program can manage up to 2,000 records.

Now he is working on updates.

“A significant update is the app being able to sync with other phones, so if your wife’s checking cattle, she can input records on her app and when she gets home, you can just sync your phones together.”

The app sells for $9.99 through the app store. The Meyers receive 70 percent of the price and Apple gets the balance.

ADM bid rejected SYDNEY, Australia (Reuters) — Australia’s government has rejected Archer Daniels Midland’s $2.6 billion bid to take over GrainCorp, bowing to pressure from grain growers in a rare and surprising decision.

The country’s Foreign Investment Review Board failed to reach consensus on the deal, and so the conservative Liberal government stepped in.

The rejection is a blow to ADM, which is more U.S.-focused than rivals Cargill, Bunge and Louis Dreyfus and had wanted to improve its access to fast-growing Asian markets.

SASKATCHEWAN CROP INSURANCE CORP. | FINANCIAL RESULTS

Sask. crop insurer reaps profit Good harvest, few claims | Money will be held for future ‘weather challenges’

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

A good crop year has resulted in a higher than expected surplus at Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corp.

The mid-year financial report, released Nov. 27, shows a projected surplus of $308.4 million, which is $218 million more than the budget estimate of $90.4 million.

Chief executive officer Shawn Jaques attributed the surplus to above average crops, relatively early harvest and fewer claims.

The money will be held to pay for future claims.

“That money will be there in future years should we have weather challenges that require us to pay out

larger than normal claim years,” he said.

An example would be 2002, when the corporation paid more than 100,000 claims worth a record $1.09 billion.

Jaques said the insured liability this year was more than $5 billion. A surplus of $300 million is not a lot of money when put against that total.

The deadline for this year’s claims was Nov. 15 and the final figures won’t be known until all claims are processed.

Finance minister Ken Krawetz said the record crop pushed the province’s forecasted gross domestic product a full percentage point higher to 3.6 percent from 2.6 percent.

The 34.2 million tonne crop is 22

percent larger than the budget assumption.

The report said the large crop changes annual growth rate calculations but doesn’t affect the base level of economic activity.

Officials assume that crop production will return to more normal levels next year.

The report also shows that agriculture ministry spending is down by $4 million. Officials said that is because of lower demand for some Growing Forward 2 programs and operational savings.

The government relations ministry will spend nearly $44 million more than expected, primarily because of flood claims through the Provincial Disaster Assistance Program.

BUSINESS CHALLENGES | PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS

Surviving difficult times requires facing facts about future THE BOTTOM LINE

GLENN CHEATER

A

notice on a bulletin board at the University of Guelph caught the eye of Francis Lo 15 years ago.

It was for a competition called Project SOY (Soybean Opportunities for Youth) and launched Lo and his brother, Erik, on a roller-coaster ride that tested their resourcefulness and tenacity.

“In a way, I suppose what we faced is not too different than what a farmer does,” says Lo. “You plant your crop and if the weather or whatever doesn’t go your way, you have to get up the next day and make the most out of what you’ve got.”

The brothers, who came to Canada from Hong Kong in their teens, have accomplished a lot. Starting with a soy version of cream cheese that they concocted for Project SOY in 1998, Flamaglo Foods now produces spreads, dips and yogurts made from identity-preserved soybeans grown in Ontario in their plant in Cambridge, Ont. Their brand, Yoso, is carried by health and specialty stores as well as major grocery chains in Ontario, Quebec and Manitoba. Annual sales are more than $1 million.

They continue to develop new products — the latest is a cultured coconut yogurt — and they’re considering opportunities to expand to the United States and Asia.

However, there have been challenges every step of the way, beginning with the first batches of soy cream cheese, which they concocted out of tofu and vegetable shortening.

“It was a very rough prototype,” says Lo. “It wasn’t good at all and I ended up withdrawing it from the competition.”

It took nearly a year of work in their home kitchen before Lo, then 24, and his older brother, a food technologist with training in dairy technology and food science, had a recipe they were happy with.

When Lo took samples to health food stores in Toronto, the response was enthusiastic.

“There was nothing like it on the market then, and everybody just loved the idea of a product like this being offered in a convenient format,” says Lo, who was finishing his agri-business MBA at the time.

That was just the kind of feedback the brothers were hoping for, and it seemed they were destined to follow in the footsteps of their grandfather, a legendary figure in the soy food business.

K.S. Lo created a soy milk product in Hong Kong in 1940 and went on to make Vitasoy a major international corporation.

Success seemed just around the corner, so the brothers obtained financing, much of it from family members, and built a 9,000 sq. foot facility.

“To say we were optimistic is being kind,” says Lo. “It was not a very smart idea to have such a big plant. We gave ourselves a big cash flow challenge.”

There were many trying days. Erik had invented a unique manufacturing process, which was why they needed their own facility, and was always tweaking his recipe.

He made many improvements, but there were also days when Lo would come back from sales calls to find the latest change hadn’t worked and the day’s batch ruined.

Meanwhile, Lo was learning how tough the food business is. Chains wouldn’t deal directly with him, distributors wanted his customer lists before taking him on and winning new customers was only half the battle.

“You might get a small chain of five stores, only to realize it was going to take six or 12 months just to earn back the merchandising allowance,” he says.

“Then you’d get back to the plant and find out a batch was heated a bit

too long and the colour was off, so we had no choice but to ditch the whole batch. Those days would be awful for us.”

So what got them through those difficult times?

“Identifying the problem and the challenge you face is the most important thing,” says Lo. “It’s not easy, but at least you know what you have to do.”

And that’s the real lesson here. If

you lose a crop to drought or hail, it’s a one-off event.

Lo and his brother realized early on it was going to take years to gain market share and pay for that big, expensive plant. So they put aside their dreams of overnight success and committed themselves to the long haul.

Given the cyclical nature of agriculture, many farmers will find themselves in the same boat at some point.

If you do, says Lo, be honest in recognizing what you’re up against.

“It’s not easy, but it’s worth it,” he says. “At the end of the day, you will find out a lot about yourself and what you’re capable of.”
