The potential sale of two farmerowned grain terminals in Western Canada may force the Inland Terminal Association of Canada to review its operations.

Kevin Hursh, executive director of ITAC, said the sale of facilities in Lethbridge and Weyburn, Sask., would leave ITAC with seven members, down from 11 just a few years ago.

Officials with Weyburn Inland Terminal (WIT) and Lethbridge Inland Terminal (LIT) have announced in the last few weeks that they are considering takeover offers that could see ownership transferred from farmer shareholders to private sector companies.

Hursh said the loss of two large ITAC members will leave the association with fewer members, smaller volumes and potentially less influence on issues related to grain transportation and logistics.

“The Lethbridge deal sounds like a fait accompli,” Hursh said last week.

“It has to be taken to the shareholders yet, but I fully expect that takeover to happen and to be complete in fairly rapid fashion.”

WIT is accepting expressions of interest so may not be sold, but it opens up the possibility, said Hursh.

“It’s always sad, from my viewpoint, to see fewer terminals that are farmer controlled because it’s hard to imagine a scenario where you would ever see farmers getting back into (facility ownership).”

In 2011, Richardson International bought the North East Terminal (NET) near Wadena, Sask., along with crop input facilities in Wadena, Kelvington, Foam Lake and Ponass Lake.

Farmer shareholders at NET voted 92 percent in favour of selling.

Hursh said he does not know which companies have expressed an interest in buying WIT. However, major companies including Viterra, Cargill and Richardson have been positioning themselves in key locations in hopes of expanding their share of the western Canadian grain market, he added.

The answer to that age-old question — cold enough for ya? — was a resounding yes across the Prairies last weekend.

Tractors and trucks froze and farmers layered up to move more feed and check water bowls in extreme wind chills of -50 C. Bill McMurtry, a meteorologist at Environment Canada in Calgary, said it was colder than usual but not record-setting.

Temperatures would have to be well into the - 40s C for that to have happened.

Instead, temperatures around -36 C, coupled with winds of 10 to 15 km-h created bone-chilling cold Jan. 6 that put all of Saskatchewan under a weather warning and cancelled most school buses on the first day back after the holiday.

“No records were set the last three days,” McMurtry said of Saskatchewan’s temperatures.

The same was true in Alberta, while one temperature record fell in Manitoba.

“It’s cold, there’s no doubt,” he said.

“It’s colder than average but not unusual.”

For example, the average daily mean in Winnipeg in December is -14.4 C. This December it was -20.4 C. The typical mean in Regina is -13.2 C, but this December it was -18.3 C. “That’s a 5.1 degree departure from normal,” McMurtry said.

“That’s significant.”

Terminals up for sale CWB is also interested in buying grain handling assets in Western Canada.

Grain industry observers say CWB would like to acquire inland assets to reduce reliance on competing companies to handle grain that is sold through CWB programs.

“There’s speculation about what assets CWB might be looking at, but I don’t really have any specific knowledge of that,” Hursh said.

“I think it’s interesting that Viterra is stepping forward (in Lethbridge) and showing that they are still expansion minded.… You’d have to think that Richardson and Cargill are probably of a similar mindset, at least it’s hard to think of any reason why they wouldn’t be.”

The sale of Weyburn and Lethbridge could render ITAC’s group insurance program unsustainable if just seven member terminals are left to contribute to group premiums.

A terminal must be at least 50 percent owned by farmer shareholders to join ITAC. “The loss of Lethbridge will make it tenuous. If we were to lose Weyburn, we probably would not be big enough to maintain that same group insurance plan, so (if it happens) we’re going to have to look at what we can do or other options that we can explore.”

One option would be to offer associate memberships to producerowned facilities such as specialty crop processors.

Meanwhile, Hursh said rail service at farmer owned terminals has been variable. Managers at some ITAC member terminals say they have been well served, while at other locations, service has been below expectations.

Hursh said its hard to get an accurate read on railway performance as it pertains to grain movement.

In addition to moving the largest crop in the country’s history, Canada’s major railways have also been operating in unusually cold temperatures for the past month.

WEATHER | OUTLOOK

Cold weather expected to stay, say experts Cold snap hits Prairies | Forecasters see a lengthy stretch of cold weather for Saskatchewan and Manitoba

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

People who live in the central and eastern Prairies shouldn’t expect a reprieve from the cold for the rest of the winter, say weather experts.

“Manitoba and Saskatchewan will continue colder than average by a long shot,” said Drew Lerner, president of World Weather Inc. “Alberta, though, will probably have some near to above average temperatures.”

Brett Anderson, senior meteorologist with AccuWeather, said there could be a short-term break in the cold weather later this week, but Old Man Winter will be in a nasty mood for the second half of the month in Saskatchewan and Manitoba.

The core of the cold weather system will shift further east into Manitoba and Ontario in February. He is forecasting near normal conditions for Saskatchewan and above normal conditions in western Alberta that month.

Anderson blames the miserable conditions on a strong and persistent high-pressure ridge centred over the Gulf of Alaska, which is forcing a northwest flow of chilly Arctic air into the prairie region.

The same system is blocking the flow of milder air from the Pacific Ocean from entering the Prairies.

The result is much cooler than normal weather for the entire Prairie region, especially Saskatchewan and Manitoba.

For example, the average temperature in Saskatoon for November and December was 4.5 C below normal.

“That is quite significant, no doubt about that,” said Anderson.

No d a i l y re c o rd s w e re s e t i n Saskatoon but it was persistently cold, as was Winnipeg, where the average temperature for those two months was 3.8 C below normal.

Conditions were better in Calgary,

Judy Wilson braves a storm while feeding cattle near Namaka, Alta. Snow accumulations are making it difficult for area farmers to get into the fields to feed cattle. | KEVIN LINK PHOTO where temperatures were 1.5 C below normal.

It has also been dry in the eastern Prairies. Saskatoon received 70 percent of its normal precipitation during November and December, while Winnipeg received 31 percent.

“That makes sense,” Anderson said.

“If it’s going to be cold, it’s going to be drier because cold air just doesn’t hold as much moisture as warmer air.”

It was a different story in Calgary,

which received 200 percent of its normal precipitation during the first couple months of winter.

Anderson said winds tend to be out of the northeast in advance of the big areas of high pressure descending from the Arctic. That pushes the high-pressure systems into the foothills and the Rocky Mountains, where the air cools and comes down as snow in western Alberta.

“Further east, you don’t have that lift,” he said.

“It’s all pretty much flat, so it’s just cold, dry air for most of Saskatchewan and Manitoba.”

He is forecasting a continuation of above average snowfall in Alberta in January. It will be below average for the remainder of the Prair ies, although Alberta clippers will likely deliver snow to southern Manitoba and southern Saskatchewan.

February looks to be another dry month for the eastern Prairies.

Lerner said the Arctic Oscillation

went into a negative phase last week, which reinforces the cold weather prediction for the Prairie region.

He agreed with Anderson that Saskatchewan and Manitoba will be dry for the remainder of winter.

The stor ms that have caused unusually wet conditions east of the Rocky Mountains in a region from Calgary through Red Deer to Grande Prairie should subside later in the winter, said Lerner.

Invasive plant council expands focus to include animals Watching wildlife | Organization says need to monitor aquatic invasive species led to new, broader mandate

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

The Alberta Invasive Plant Council has blossomed into the Alberta Invasive Species Council, with a change of name and an expanded mandate.

Council chair Oscar Anderson said the name change addresses a gap.

“There seemed to be kind of a hole with the aquatic invasives, zebra and quagga mussels especially,” he said.

The freshwater mussel species, native to Asia, are well established in the United States and slowly spreading north and east. A concerted effort is underway to keep them from becoming a major problem in Canada.

Anderson said the council’s name change is also part of a national trend.

“All the other plant councils in the country seem to be going to ‘species’ as well, and we thought there may be opportunities for more funding, grants

and such if we branched out further.”

The council plays an educational rather than a control role when it comes to unwanted plants and other species. It maintains a list of invasive plants on its website and encourages people to watch for them and notify officials if the species are found in Alberta.

Anderson said the list will soon be updated to include zebra and quagga mussels and possibly rats and wild boar.

The council is also exploring concepts for a spotter’s network, which would involve more people in the search and identification of unwanted species so they can be eliminated before they become established.

“It’s kind of at concept level right now,” Anderson said.

“We’re trying to get that out onto the ground, in that we have knowledgeable members of the public looking for weeds in an early detec-

PHOTOS/ANDRESMUSTA/ cation to make it more convenient for

Wild boar and zebra mussels are two species that will be monitored by the Alberta Invasive Species Council. tion, rapid response sort of thing.”

Part of the plan involves the Early Detection and Distribution Mapping System, which is already available in Canada.

Anderson said he wants to implement the system’s smartphone appli-

users and increase the chances of early detection and eradication of unwanted species.

The list of invasive plants on the council website is long, but not all of them have been found in Canada.

Rather, it is a list of species the prov-

ince wants to keep out.

Anderson said it is hard for the council to measure the success of its efforts to engage the public in identification.

Is reporting on certain weeds lacking because those species do not exist in the province or because people are not identifying and reporting them?

“We’re thinking of throwing a couple test species on (the list), that we know are in the province, and see if people are using the EDDMaps system,” said Anderson.

He anticipated it will be an interesting year for the council, in part because the aftermath of 2013 flooding could bring more invasive species to areas that didn’t previously have them. “(Floods) make habitat for weeds.

They take existing vegetation away, and there’s a void there that usually gets filled by invasive species.”

HEMP | REGULATION QUESTIONED

Hemp industry asks feds for deregulation Not all agree | Some growers argue regulation is still necessary but the government should consider modifying its rules

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Canada’s rules and regulations for growing hemp are burdensome, tedious and in need of revision, says Chris Dzisiak, a grower from Dauphin, Man. Nonetheless, Dzisiak said it’s unrealistic to completely deregulate hemp production and treat the crop the same as canola, wheat and barley.

“It is still a controlled substance….

Making it totally open, what are risks?” said Dzisiak, president of the Parkland Industrial Hemp Growers Co-op, a producer group in the Dauphin area.

The Canadian Hemp Trade Alliance (CHTA), which represents growers, processors, marketers and other hemp industry players, said in December that it wants hemp production deregulated because the crop’s status is curbing industry growth.

Health Canada regulates and approves hemp production under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. Canadian farmers who want to grow hemp need a licence from Health Canada.

Producers seeded 66,671 acres of industrial hemp in Canada last year, which was a 50 percent increase from 2012 and up substantially from 8,000 acres in 2008, the CHTA said. It expects that trend to continue, predicting Canadian acreage will exceed 100,000 in the next couple of years.

Shaun Crew, chief executive officer of Hemp Oil Canada, a processor in Ste. Agathe, Man., said the licensing process is unnecessary and costly.

“The bottom line is it’s an agricultural crop. It should be (under) the department of agriculture…. Rather than being looked at as a drug, it (would be) looked at as an agricultural commodity, a food product,” he said.

“It’s basically burdening the industry with added costs…. THC testing is a very real cost to both producers and processors.”

Dzisiak said applying for a hemp production licence is bothersome because it takes Health Canada months to respond to an application.

As well, the licence permits a farmer to grow a specific acreage of hemp on specific GPS co-ordinates. The rigidity of the rules can become ridiculous, he said.

“If you plant 45 acres you’re techni-

Hemp producers say many of the original concerns about the crop, such as it being a potential home for secret marijuana plants, have never materialized. | FILE PHOTO cally (violating) the permit. If you plant 38 acres, they want to know right away what happened to the other acres.”

Still, Dzisiak said the hemp industry benefits from the federal oversight.

“You have to know who’s growing, where they’re growing, so you can go and check,” he said.

“If we regulate something and have a good process, no one can ever point to us and say … ‘you’re trying to create something illegal.’ ” Instead of deregulation, Dzisiak said Health Canada should modify its hemp production rules.

“Simplify the licences and get those licences out a little sooner. But for Health Canada to know where the crop is being grown and who is growing it, I think, needs to remain as fundamental.”

CHTA president Russ Crawford said Health Canada assumed authority over hemp production in 1998 because the federal government didn’t know how to handle the crop.

Now that the industry has matured, with dozens of established growers and numerous companies manufacturing hemp oil, hemp protein pow-

der and hemp milk, it’s time to acknowledge that hemp is distinct from marijuana.

“Over the 15 years we’ve been under the regulation of Health Canada, there hasn’t been any occurrences of (high) THC (levels) in sampling (of hemp),” he said.

Crew said the initial fears surrounding hemp production, such as teenagers getting stoned on hemp plants or criminals growing pot in the middle of a hemp field, were unwarranted.

“People running into the hemp fields, chopping down the plants, bagging them up and selling them at the school yards. None of that ever happened.”

Crawford said the public associates hemp and marijuana and it’s been difficult to quash that perception.

As well, pot advocates like to equate hemp and marijuana, which further complicates matters.

“Unfortunately, there are a lot of people on the marijuana side who want to blur the line a little bit and say it’s the same thing, hemp and marijuana,” Crawford said.

“Just to create a comfort around it (marijuana), and that’s not our mes-

HEMP REGULATIONS MAY CHANGE Health Canada’s industrial hemp regulations, which govern the production and sale of hemp, took effect in 1998. The department is reviewing the regulations and held a public consultation on potential changes and amendments from Nov. 4 to Dec. 20. Health Canada is considering several changes: • Hemp licences are now valid for one calendar year. However, many growers store hemp seed past Dec. 31, either to sell the crop at a later date or for re-use. In such cases growers must reapply for a possession licence.

Proposed change: Increase the licence period from one year to a maximum of four years. A grower must request an amendment to a licence if he is making changes, sage at all.”

Crawford said the federal government shouldn’t play “wait and see” and duplicate how other countries deal with hemp because Canada leads the world in hemp food production.

“We need to be a leader in this respect

such as the field location.

• Health Canada tests THC levels at three stages: plant breeding, seed production and grain production.

Only three “competent” laboratories test hemp for THC in Canada, which means it can take three to five months for results, delaying licence application and approval.

Proposed change: Eliminate THC testing for grain production but continue to test at plant breeding and seed production.

Health Canada will formally propose amendments to the regulations after reviewing input from last fall’s comment period. There will be another 75 day comment period once the amendments are introduced.

and demonstrate that Canada is the foremost producer of hemp for food and we deem it to be safe,” he said.

“This is a nationwide opportunity…. There’s potential here for another Cinderella crop in Canada and we should do all that we can to facilitate that.”

FARMLAND | THE WORLD IS INTERESTED

Middle East investors ask Alta. man to help buy farmland

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

OLDS, Alta. — Canadian farmers know land is a good buy, but a growing number of foreigners also want to buy it as a way to guarantee food security.

Investors from Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates have asked Ed Smith, a southern Alberta hay exporter, to help them buy land in North America.

“For all these countries, it’s about

food security,” said Shaw, who is still in negotiations for his services.

As a farmer, Shaw is conflicted about helping foreigners buy farmland in Canada. He doesn’t want to be pushed off the farm by expensive land driven up by foreign investors.

However, as a realist and an exporter, he realizes someone will help sell the land if he doesn’t.

“I’m not the only one they’ve approached,” said Shaw, who farms near Didsbury.

It was through Shaw’s export busi-

ness that one of the world’s largest dairies asked him to help it buy land.

The 40,000 head operation requires a secure source of forage.

Countries such as Saudi Arabia and UAE have a good source of forage now, but it all hinges on irrigation.

Canada’s dryland forage industry, which produces hay with no irrigation, looks like a good long-term source of livestock feed.

Shaw said the middle class in those countries is driving demand for milk and meat.

“The old days of a rice bowl are gone. The value of our land is becoming more and more in demand because of water.”

The buyers are looking at land in Canada, the United States and Mexico. They already own farmland in South America, Eastern Europe and Australia.

“They want to develop their food source,” he said.

Shaw said he advised the buyers to work with large Canadian farmers with knowledge of Canadian farming rather

than buying large tracts of land and farming it with non-Canadian help.

Tom Neufeld of Coldwell Banker in Saskatoon said about half of his farm sales the past two years have been to immigrants to Canada. About half of them will become farmers and the rest want farmland as an investment.

Neufeld received a call after Christmas from a potential buyer in Bangladesh wanting to immigrate to Canada but also to buy farmland.

“They want to buy land as an investment.”

LAWSUIT | CWB

Farmers keep up fight for CWB assets

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Farmers who tried to launch a $17 billion class action lawsuit against the federal government and CWB are promising to keep fighting what they call an “unprecedented theft” of farmer assets.

Stewart Wells, chair of the Friends o f t h e Ca na d i a n W h e at B o a rd (FCWB), said farmer litigants will appeal a Nov. 29 ruling by Federal Court justice Daniele TremblayLamer.

The ruling rejected many of the arguments put forward by the FCWB in its statement of claim against the federal government and refuted suggestions that farmers’ property had been unjustly confiscated by Ottawa and CWB. In her ruling, Tremblay-Lamer suggested that changes to CWB legislation did not result in the loss or divestiture of farmer property or assets.

However, the government may have deprived farmers of some pool payouts during the 2011-12 transition year, she added.

Because of that, Tremblay-Lamer said a limited class action suit should be allowed to continue.

Wells said in a Jan. 2 news release that the plaintiffs believe TremblayLamer erred in her judgment.

“Our supporters feel that it is imperative that we continue with our legal efforts to recover the $17 billion of value and assets farmers put into the wheat board,” he said.

“It was 50 years ago this past month the Canadian Wheat Board, in consultation with its farmer advisor y committee, moved into a downtown Winnipeg office building bought and paid for with farmers’ money, and no amount of legal sophistry or rationalization can change the fact farmers are owed compensation for what amounts to an unprecedented theft of private resources by Ottawa.”

Anders Bruun, legal counsel for FCWB, said the appeal moves forward the legal action on the federal government’s seizure of the wheat board’s assets.

Those assets, according to FCWB plaintiffs, include rail cars, ships and the CWB’s head office. “(This appeal) … shows the resolve of my clients to keep fighting against the expropriation without compensation that the government has visited on farmers,” Bruun said.

Federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz rejected suggestions that farmer assets were confiscated.

Since the elimination of single desk grain marketing nearly a year and a half ago, Ritz has claimed that farmers had no claim to equity in CWB and that outstanding debts on CWB assets were greater than any equity held by CWB. “Through numerous decisions, the Canadian justice system continues to uphold that producers were never shareholders in the CWB and thus have never owned its assets,’’ Ritz said in Jan. 3 statement.

“While a small few continue with frivolous lawsuits, marketing freedom is and will remain the law of the land,” he said.

Pasture patrons slow to sign leases Pasture transfer | Non-reversionary land on federal pastures is an issue for some users

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Some patrons of federal pastures set to change hands this spring say the process isn’t unfolding as smoothly as Saskatchewan’s agriculture minister says it is.

Lyle Stewart recently said the process of turning the pastures over to the province and eventually to users was going well.

However, Dean Palmer, chair of the McCraney Grazing Corp. near Davidson, said patrons are frustrated with deadlines that change and the inability to reach a solution on nonreversionary land.

He said patrons won’t sign a lease until the terms are satisfactory.

Non-reversionary land is land within pastures that the federal government owns outright.

It can’t transfer the land directly to the province but must go through a disposition process that gives the agriculture department and then other government agencies the chance to buy it. The province is next in line.

Twenty-one pastures contain nonreversionary land, said Wally Hoehn, Saskatchewan’s lands manager.

In McCraney’s case, the pasture’s home quarter and yard site sit on such land.

Palmer said the current manager wants to stay there with his young family and continue to work for the patrons while also becoming a patron.

He is reluctant to make a commitment without knowing who will

actually own the land in the end.

Hoehn said yard sites were a priority for the province.

“We wanted this dealt with immediately,” he said.

The provincial and federal agriculture departments had negotiated a land swap last fall to accommodate cases like this, but it fell through when other federal agencies stepped in.

Hoehn said there is a licence to occupy the land in place. The province recognizes this doesn’t offer the same tenure or security, but at this point it has to wait for the federal process to play out.

Palmer said the patrons he represents are hesitant to sign a lease with unresolved issues because they worry about the precedent that might be set.

He said the province had set a Dec. 1 signing deadline but then said it could wait until spring.

McCraney is among the first five pastures that Ottawa surrendered to the province as of Dec. 1.

The other four are Estevan-Cambria, Wolverine, Ituna Bon Accord and Park.

Hoehn said the province has signed leases with two of the other four since Dec. 1, but he declined to say which two.

The deadline was established because the province knew Ottawa was going to surrender the land by the end of November.

“We try to establish deadlines, but if they can’t be met we have to change them,” he said.

Palmer said patrons are also frus-

21 SASKATCHEWAN PASTURES CONTAIN NON-REVERSIONARY LAND trated with the purchase of pasture bulls.

They wanted assurance that the bulls are sound and asked for breeding soundness evaluations in spring.

However, the government wanted the bulls bought and paid for in the fall.

“If we don’t have to sign a land lease until spring, why not the bulls?”

Palmer said.

Hoehn said the federal government set the price for the bulls, but the province is collecting the money and will then turn it over.

He said the issue was largely the welfare of the bulls because federal staff in the five pastures will be gone as of Jan. 15.

“Within their system, they needed the bulls to be picked up and gone,” he said.

McCraney pasture patrons each contributed $125 per cow to pay for the bulls and found someone to look after them for the winter.

For Palmer, his 100-head allocation resulted in a $12,500 bill.

“It was hard to come up with,” Palmer said.

“You’re paying the fall bill for the

federal government and then a month later we needed the $125 (per cow) to buy the bulls. Initially we were supposed to write the cheque Nov. 1. Now we’re told the end of January. It’s sitting in the bank.”

Palmer also said the first year after the takeover will be costly for the patrons.

They will have to pay half of their grazing fee up front to cover managerial costs and bills.

“It’s a big commitment by everybody whether you have 10 head or 100,” he said.

Each pasture group is establishing its own grazing fees. McCraney has set a $5.99 per animal unit month lease fee, which is significantly higher than other places, Palmer said.

He calculated a cost of $185 to $190 per cow-calf pair for 130 days, compared to the current $150 per pair.

Palmer said he gives the province credit for sticking with patrons but said the transition isn’t as smooth as it could be.

The next five pastures are to be transferred by March 31: Fairview, Newcombe, Lone Tree, Excel and Keywest.

Hoehn said issues common to all pastures have been worked out. For example, lease lengths will be 15 years and maximum allocation per pasture has been set at 100 animals per patron.

Temporary allocations have also been established to allow pastures that might need extra animals to authorize someone to bring in more than 100 for a three-year term.

Consider soy hedge in down market Put option | The potential for soybean prices to fall this winter makes this marketing strategy an option

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

It’s hard to go back in time and hedge canola against the collapse that’s occurred since harvest.

However, one adviser is using a strategy that might cover some of the recent losses, if it works out.

“The last man standing now is soybeans,” said Errol Anderson of Pro Market Communications.“We’ve moved away from canola puts.”

Anderson is buying soybean put options in the hope that soybean

prices fall and come closer to the performance of canola in the past few months.

If all the vegetable oil crops fall in value, growers will receive some coverage from the soybean put options as long as they roughly mirror canola performance.

However, Anderson expects soybeans to fall much more than canola in coming months because soybeans have been strong recently.

Massive Chinese buying and low soybean meal stocks in the central United States have allowed U.S. soy-

bean prices to retain their price much better than other crops, most of which have fallen significantly since harvest.

Soybeans futures are up slightly from where they were in October and within the range of trading in November, while canola futures have fallen more than $1 per bushel. Canola’s cash price has fallen close to $2 per bushel because of the widening basis.

Soybean futures have also diverged sharply from corn futures, which have fallen 10 percent since the end

of September. It makes soybean futures almost exactly three times the price of corn, which is a vast spread compared to the usual relationship of 2.2 times.

Anderson has often used soybean oil options to hedge canola because soy oil closely tracks canola prices and is more liquid than canola options.

By shifting his strategy to soybeans Anderson is speculating that soybean prices can’t remain this high for long and that they’ll likely return to a closer relationship with

canola and corn.

“The corn-soybean relationship is really out of whack and has to correct somewhere,” said Anderson.

A potential trigger for lower soybean prices would be if the weather in South America continues favourable for crop development and farmers there harvest a record crop.

Anderson thinks canola prices are probably now in the bottoming process, so there might not be too much remaining downside. However, soybeans have a long way to fall.

CHINA | WINTER CROPS

Analysts skeptical of China’s winter wheat report

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Weather experts don’t believe reports that China’s winter wheat crop is in terrific shape, but they do accept reports that the rapeseed crop is off to a fantastic start.

China’s agriculture ministry says

49.2 percent of the winter wheat crop is top-rated compared to 45.7 percent a year ago, making it the best situation since 2005.

China is the world’s biggest wheat producer, and the condition of its crop can have a major influence on markets.

Rain during last year’s harvest down-

graded quality, forcing China to buy more good quality wheat from the United States and Canada.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture expects China to import 8.5 million tonnes of wheat in 2013-14, up from three million tonnes the previous year.

It would make China the world’s

second largest wheat importer behind Egypt.

Grain markets are interested in how this year’s winter wheat crop is progressing. Based on government information, it is doing exceptionally well.

Dale Mohler, senior meteorologist with AccuWeather, is skeptical about

the reports out of China.

There was considerable market interest in China’s wheat crop in the fall because conditions were dry in important production regions of the North China Plain. Barely any rain or snow has fallen since then.

FUTURES MARKET | CARRY

Grain delivery woes, futures prices align to make storage pay Lock in price | Carrying canola until fall could pay off

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

It isn’t fun for farmers to sit atop a mountain of crops they can’t move.

However, farmers who are forced to hold onto grain into summer and next fall are being paid by the market to do so.

Marketing advisers say good carry in some futures markets and the possibility of basis improvement mean farmers are being compensated for this winter’s grain movement problems.

“It kind of takes the sting out of it,” said John De Pape, whose Farmers Advanced Risk Management Co. specializes in exploiting carrying premiums.

“If you have to carry (canola) into new crop, which some guys are going to have to, you (could) make $60 to $70 per tonne,” he said.

Farmers might have forgotten about the concept of storage premiums in recent years because many crop markets were inverted.

In a textbook crop market, prices climb each month into the future because that represents the cost to either the farmer or grain buyer of holding onto the grain.

In an ideal situation, the sooner a farmer wants to sell his crop to a buyer, the lower the price will be, and the longer he holds onto it, the higher the price will be.

A number of events have caused that situation to reverse in recent years, and last year was particularly extreme. Farmers who held onto crops paid heavily each month for not moving them.

However, each month of forward futures months has been higher for most crops this year, allowing farmers to benefit from keeping grain on the farm and moving it later.

Many farmers have had no choice in the matter.

Grain transportation has hit such a bottleneck that farmers who hadn’t already made delivery arrangements now have no choice but to hang onto their crops to sell in the summer or next fall.

Jon Driedger of FarmLink Marketing said farmers are upset they can’t clear crop to keep cash flowing in, but the positive carry is allowing them to feel less aggrieved while they wait.

“Last year the markets were in an

“I’m frankly a little surprised because based on the weather, I wouldn’t think it’s in that great of shape and certainly not the best in eight years,” Mohler said.

Fall temperatures were ideal, but precipitation between Sept. 1 and Nov. 30 was 30 to 60 percent of normal in Shandong, Hebei and the northern half of Henan, three of the biggest winter wheat producing provinces.

“They were considerably below normal,” he said.

Drew Lerner, president of World Weather Inc., is another skeptic.

“I find the comments very interest-

Last year the markets were in an inverse, so much of the time you didn’t get paid for storing. But this year it’s different. Why not let the market pay you to store it?

inverse, so much of the time you didn’t get paid for storing. But this year it’s different. Why not let the market pay you to store it?” he said.

“What’s your cost of storage? Just interest. There’s no opportunity cost.”

Errol Anderson of Pro Market Communications said positive carry in futures prices allows farmers to also push off today’s extremely poor basis levels.

“The only thing you can do now is wait for basis appreciation,” he said.

“The carry is out there. Sell the carr y if you can wait for your paycheque.”

De Pape said farmers are in such a pickle now that they have to take any offers they can get. However, they can lock in the carry on futures-based prices for the crops they know they’re going to be holding onto for the next few months and match their hedges to their marketing without too much danger.

With positive carry, farmers can use futures to hedge forward crop prices and roll the futures hedge as long as they’re holding onto the crop.

That wouldn’t have worked in an inverted market, but it now allows farmers to continue collecting carrying charges for as long as they hold onto crop.

“There’s good carry out there, so why not grab that? Figure out the basis later. I don’t see the basis getting any worse,” said de Pape.

“You just keep rolling till the basis behaves.”

Yellow peas an exception | Inevitable soybean drop will hurt prices

Pulse prices have held up nicely compared to competing crops in the post-harvest period, but trouble could be looming for one pulse, says an industry analyst.

“I’m a little nervous about yellow peas,” said Chuck Penner, an analyst with LeftField Commodity Research.

Ye l l ow p e a p r i c e s hav e b e e n propped up by strong feed pea prices, which in turn have been supported by soy meal prices, another protein-based feed ingredient.

“If you look at any of the major commodities, soy meal has far outperformed anything else,” he said.

Penner and other analysts feel it is only a matter of time before soy meal prices soften, given the prospects for a massive South American soybean harvest and another big crop expected to go in the ground in the northern hemisphere.

“That market is going to drop, and so any support that was under feed peas will drop, which will also drop yellow edibles,” he said.

“It hasn’t happened yet, but there’s the warning.”

Soy meal prices are already being pressured lower by slumping distillers grain prices, a competing feed ingredient.

Distillers grain prices are fell last week because China recently rejecte d 7 5 8 t o n n e s o f U. S. p ro d u c t

because it contained an unapproved line of genetically modified corn.

Exporters are nervous about shipping the feed ingredient to that country.

Pulse prices have held their own in the post-harvest period compared to wheat and canola. Penner said it is partially because speculator money has exacerbated the downfall in futures traded crops.

The supply and demand picture is also better for pulses. Agriculture Canada is forecasting a 144 percent increase in 2013-14 ending stocks for grains and oilseeds compared to a 54 percent increase for pulses and special crops.

Penner said that is a function of a bigger acreage response in canola and wheat last year and stunning yields compared to pulses.

Stat Publishing analyst Brian Clancey expects farmers will be interested in planting more peas and lentils this year as long as crop movement remains decent before planting and prices stay strong.

He believes pulse prices will eventually fall back into line with competing crops, but that might not happen until 2014-15.

A lot will depend on demand, and as usual India is the big wild card.

Many analysts are expecting a plentiful rabi (winter season) pulse crop in that country. Plantings are three percent ahead of last year’s pace, and soil moisture is good. However, there

have been reports of frost damage.

Demand from India slumped during the first part of 2013-14 because of a large summer crop and currency problems. The slack has been picked up by the Middle East, where Syria had a crop failure. Clancey is uncertain about how much demand to expect from the Middle East in the second half of the crop year.

He believes Canadians will plant more pulses this year, but he isn’t expecting a huge increase. The few new crop bids that are available are at a discount to spot prices.

Larry Weber of Weber Commodities is forecasting at least 3.55 million acres of peas, up from 3.29 million acres last year. He expects 2.8 to three million acres of lentils, up from 2.39 million acres in 2013.

Weber expects the increases in pulse acres to come at the expense of wheat, which farmers are having trouble moving.

Penner doesn’t anticipate a huge swing in acres. He has done preliminary gross margin calculations for the crops farmers plant in Western Canada, and yellow peas and lentils rank near the middle of the pack.

He also believes farmers have long memories when it comes to growing pulses.

“Lentil growers and pea growers have seen the damage that’s done from big acreage swings and would be nervous about that same kind of thing happening again,” said Penner.

and that the crop was having a tough time establishing.

“It hasn’t rained since then, so I’m very curious how it all of the sudden got better,” he said.

The crop got off to a terrific start last year with timely precipitation at planting and before dormancy.

However, this year there was poor rainfall in the northern third of the winter wheat growing area.

“My perspective is that the crop is probably not as well established as it was last year,” said Lerner.

However, he doesn’t think there is any kind of looming disaster.

“I certainly don’t see a tremendous problem. I think the majority of China is probably poised to do well.”

Both analysts said the fate of the winter wheat crop will largely be determined by spring precipitation, so they will be watching weather conditions closely come March.

While the winter wheat reports were hard to swallow, both weather analysts were inclined to believe similar upbeat reports from the Chinese government that the winter rapeseed crop is in the best shape in almost 10 years.

China’s rapeseed crop is grown

along the Yangtze River, which is south of the prime winter wheat production area.

Mohler said rainfall was 90 to 150 percent of normal this fall in most of the places where rapeseed is grown.

“That’s ideal. It’s not too much. It’s not too little. So I would say that’s pretty accurate that this is probably one of the best looking (rapeseed) crops in 10 years, or the best,” he said.

Lerner agreed, saying the southern two-thirds of the rapeseed crop received nice, timely rain and no damage due to cool temperatures.

CROPS | HEDGING

2014 will pose marketing challenges HEDGE ROW

ED WHITE

P

ut options were the standout hedging winner for many farmers in 2013, but what will be the silver bullet marketing tool for 2014?

It’s a stunningly different market today from the one that existed when most farmers were pricing the 201213 and 2013-14 crops , with radically different dynamics, so one can’t assume what worked last year will work this year.

Put options worked so well last calendar year because farmers were caught in a long declining market and weren’t sure how much and what quality of crop they would produce.

That was true not only during the winter before anything got seeded, but also well into the growing season, when the late spring and cool summer made many farmers extremely cautious about locking into future commitments they might not have the crops to match.

That uncertainty meant farmers couldn’t confidently lock in forward prices with futures or firm cash contract commitments for a large percentage of their crop, or even a small percentage.

However, put options offered a way to buy a guarantee of existing forward prices without worrying about having enough crop to cover the contract.

When prices fell off a cliff post-harvest, those puts really shone.

The same tool has also been used by farmers and pushed by some options specialists since the beginning of the 2013-14 crop year to protect prices for the 2014-15 crop.

With a big risk of yet further price declines ahead, some farmers used put options to lock in still-profitable 2014-15 new crop prices.

From harvest until now, November 2014 canola futures have fallen about a dollar a bushel, so those put hedges have already worked out well.

But put options, which shine in a falling market, might not be the tool for today.

The market has dropped so much that it isn’t obvious that downside risk is still the predominant concern for growers.

How much of the downside risk is already built into forward prices?

That’s a question that will help determine how advisers and farmers design risk management programs to sell the remainder of the 2 0 1 3 - 1 4 c ro p a n d t h e 2 0 1 4 - 1 5 crop.

I called several analysts to get their take on whether there’s a silver bullet strategy for this year.

The answer I got was a clear “no.”

This is not a no-brainer year where the risk seems almost all one-way, and the way to deal with it simple.

It’s a complicated, murky situation

Bin looking for higher yields?

— like it is in a normal year, at least “normal” in the way things were before 2007.

We’re back to comfortable supplies of crops and a commodities complex that isn’t overheated, so crop prices will likely follow the ebb and flow of weather and consumption and that is hard to predict.

What does that mean for designing a 2014 hedging plan?

The boring answer is that farmers will need to take marketing and

hedging seriously, especially those who got used to the bull market and didn’t bother worrying about it much.

In the bull market farmers didn’t like to lock in prices even though they were historically high because they might rise even more.

Now, many likely don’t want to lock-in prices that might provide only a break-even or a loss.

There isn’t likely to be one simple profit-guaranteeing mechanism or

tool this year, but there are a host of tools available to cover various mark e t r i s k s t h a t a f f e c t f a r m e r s’ incomes.

Pricing won’t be fun this year, unless there’s a weather disaster somewhere that lifts the market.

But with margins expected to be tight, it’s more important than ever for farmers to do what they can to make sure they’re protected against the downside while able to get the gains of any rallies.

BEIJING, China (Reuters) — China’s quality watchdog has turned away more corn cargoes from the United States because of the discovery of a genetically modified strain not approved by Beijing.

Further rejections are likely, traders said.

They said a Jan. 6 report by the official Xinhua news agency said China had rejected 601,000 tonnes of corn and corn byproducts from the U.S. by the end of last year, indicating more corn cargoes had been turned away since Dec. 20.

That was when 545,000 tonnes of grain had been refused by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ).

“China’s feed demand is pretty weak and we understand there are more cargoes of this unapproved variety on the way,” said one Singapore-based grains and oilseeds trader, referring to the MIR 162 variety developed by Syngenta AG.

“There could be more rejections and it is very bad for trade as losses are mounting.”

Xinhua, citing AQSIQ, did not give further details on the rejections.

China has also been turning away U.S. dried distillers grain and has imposed strict checks on the corn byproduct.

“We expect more cancellations as both buyers and suppliers are increasingly uncertain on the situation,” said one industry source. “Suppliers are not delivering any cargoes, which bear the risk of rejection.”

The strict inspections triggered Chinese buyers to cancel their largest U.S. corn purchases in 14 months, while several more cargoes of the grain initially bound for China were diverted to other Asian nations.

Chicago corn futures have been under pressure from rising global supplies and China’s cancellation of U.S. cargoes.

Ample supplies amid weak domestic demand have pressured Dalian

corn prices on China’s Dalian futures exchange, with the most-active contract down by more than one percent since the first cargo was rejected in mid-November.

China’s corn harvest was up 5.9 percent on the year at a record high 217.7 million tonnes, surpassing consumption seen at 197 million tonnes for the year.

The U.S. price of DDGs has slid 20 percent in a week as exporters shy away from selling the corn-based feed grain to its top customers China after Beijing rejected shipments containing the strain.

China’s quality watchdog issued a notice to local authorities and asked them to increase testing of U.S. DDG shipments after the GM strain was detected in two batches of shipments totalling 758 tonnes Dec. 23, the administration said.

Buyers are trying to delay customs clearance, while some are trying to postpone and cancel future shipments, traders said.

North America is cold but South American weather is near ideal

T

he bitter cold that settled over much of Canada and the Unite d St ate s e a rl y t h i s w e e k helped lift crop futures a little.

There was concern that it was cold enough in U.S. winter wheat regions to harm the dormant crop in some areas. Most at risk were areas with dry soil and places where there was little snow cover. The snow cover in Nebraska and central Kansas is thin, but the area that is dry is much less than last year at this time.

We won’t know the real impact on wheat production for quite a few weeks, and even then the damage would have to be serious to significantly change the dynamic in the wheat market, which has a comfortable global supply.

The cold was also snarling grain and livestock transportation. Several U.S. hog plants were closed Jan. 6 because of the intense cold.

The cold will also lead to an increase in livestock feed demand.

However, all these factors are minor placed against the developing crops in South America, which have the potential to deliver a record large harvest that will put downward pressure on crop prices.

Argentina had hot dry weather for a couple of weeks in December but received rain at the end of the month and the first few days of January.

Analysts are upbeat about production prospects.

They peg Argentina’s soybean crop at 55 million tonnes, up from a little more than 49 million last year.

Brazil’s soybean crop has enjoyed favourable weather from the start, and production is expected to be 87 to 90 million tonnes, up from 82 million last year.

Harvest has begun in Brazil on a few early seeded fields, but the vast majority of harvest starts in late Feb-

ruary and early March. Rain will be important in the pod filling stage in early February.

Another big negative factor in the market is China’s ongoing rejections of U.S. corn and dried distillers grain shipments because they contain a genetically modified variety not approved by Beijing.

Before this problem, the U.S. Department of Agriculture had projected that China would import seven million tonnes of U.S. corn in the 2013-14 marketing year.

Chinese data show 601,000 tonnes of corn and corn byproducts have been rejected. The issue has added to downward pressure on corn and hammered U.S. DDG values down by 20 percent in a week.

Some of the rejected corn shipments were diverted to Japan and South Korea, but the situation could have greater market impact the longer it goes on.

Canfax produced a condensed cattle report last week, noting only a few cattle traded through the holiday season. Slaughter and grading information was yet to be finalized.

U.S. packer demand was limited by closures for Christmas and New Years, but they did not have enough cattle to meet their needs and had to pay up to get supply.

U.S. fed cattle prices set record highs, with most trading around $137-$138 US per hundredweight, up $7-$8 from Canfax’s last report.

The Canadian market was also record high but not to the same magnitude as the U.S. Fed cattle prices in Alberta were generally around $130-$131 Cdn for the holiday weeks, Canfax said.

Dressed trade was reported up to $220 per cwt. delivered.

The Canfax weighted average steer price was $130.56, $2.68 higher than the Dec. 20 report.

U.S. Choice cutout was $200.55 US per cwt., up from $196.93, and Select was $196.05, up from $190.46.

U.S. packers were suffering large negative margins, analysts said.

The Choice cutout would have to rise to $215 to break even on a live price of $135.

Some analysts expected packers to reduce operating this week to limit beef production and try to push beef prices higher to improve margins.

Cold weather in the United States was slowing weight gain, adding to the shortage of market-ready cattle.

WP LIVESTOCK REPORT WEATHER STIFLES DEMAND Extreme cold and snow in the United States slowed hog movement, and some packers might cancel orders this week.

There was concern that meat demand could suffer if winter storms shut in consumers in high population areas of the U.S. East Coast.

Iowa-southern Minnesota hogs delivered to packing plants were $58$59 US per cwt. Jan. 3, up a little from $58 Dec. 27.

Ron Plain and Scott Brown of the University of Missouri noted in their weekly report that the average live weight of barrows and gilts in IowaMinnesota two weeks ago was 282.3 pounds, up 1.7 lb. from a week earlier and up 6.5 lb. from a year ago. The annual average Iowa-Minnesota live weight at slaughter in 2013 was 275.8 lb., which was the fifth consecutive yearly record.

The estimated pork cut-out value was $82.79 Jan. 3, little changed from $82.85 Dec. 27.

Estimated weekly U.S. slaughter to Jan. 4 was 2.011 million, up from 1.843 million in the previous week.

Last year in the same week slaughter was 1.972 million.

Plain and Brown noted that the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Dec. 27 hogs and pigs report estimated that pigs per litter in November was 10.04.

That was down from 10.16 pigs per litter in November 2012.

The number of PED virus cases increased with the approach of winter and is widely believed to be the cause for reduced litter size in November.

CRAIG’S VIEW

HOG SECTOR | DISEASE

Hog sector must be vigilant to stay free of deadly virus

A

livestock disease with the potential to severely damage the Canadian hog industry is lurking at the southern border.

It is within the livestock industry’s power to keep it out but only if everything goes right.

And it will take a concerted effort to make everything go right.

Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PED) caught the United States flatfooted when it entered that country and had spread to seven states by the time alarm bells rang in May. The virus has now infected hog barns in 20 states, where it has killed thousands of pigs. There is no effective vaccine. It spreads via feces and is usually fatal to nursing piglets, which die from the effects of diarrhea and vomiting.

In older pigs, it raises mortality rates and limits production. The virus has an incubation period of 12 to 24 hours, and infected animals can infect others for three to four weeks.

There’s a lot that Canadian hog health experts know about PED, by virtue of their training and by watching the havoc it has wreaked in the U.S. over the last eight months.

It has given the Canadian industry time to develop a national strategy, which includes planning, education and protocols designed to prevent PED from entering the country and to control it quickly if it does.

The luxury of time for planning is rare when dealing with infectious livestock diseases. This one could have a debilitating effect on an industry already suffering from years of economic hardship.

Some American hog experts estimate PED could cause a two to three percent decline in 2014 U.S. hog production. The Canadian herd could be similarly affected if the disease were to become widespread here.

Yet even the best laid plans for prevention and control will work only if everyone does their part: producers, livestock haul-

ers, veterinarians, feed suppliers, packers and all other parts of the production chain.

Western Producer reporters have asked hog health experts whether Canada has any hope of keeping PED out, given its ease of potential transmission via trucks, trailers, tires and myriad other vectors.

To their credit, none suggest the task is impossible, though several have expressed surprise that this country has so far managed to keep the virus out.

The trouble is, thousands of animals cross back and forth across the international border by truck every day, and livestock haulers are thought to be the most likely mode of PED transmission.

It’s crucial that trucks and trailers be pressure washed, disinfected and most importantly dried before they acquire the next load of pigs. This is no small task under optimum conditions, and it is even more difficult in cold weather such as what we’ve seen across the Prairies in recent weeks.

The onus is on livestock truckers to see that the job is done and on producers to allow only clean, dry trucks and trailers on their farms for loading. This is where all those years of talk about biosecurity really count. This is where the rubber hits the road.

In the U.S., PED has shown up first in finishing barns, where hog symptoms can be relatively mild. Veterinarians say it is easy to miss or misdiagnose. It can then spread to other pigs, and death losses mount.

Canadian hog producers know their business, and they know their animals.

However, it will require greater than usual vigilance and more scrutiny of livestock transport to avoid infection.

If they can, it will be a triumph of biosecurity and proof that all links in the production chain can work for a common good.

POLITICS | REMEMBERING FORMER MINISTERS

Canada lost two federal agriculture ministers in 2013 and honoured a third NATIONAL VIEW

BARRY WILSON

T

he past year saw the passing of two former agriculture ministers who represented a unique era in Canadian agricultural policy and the elevation of another to the country’s highest political honour.

But let’s start with the departed.

Eugene Whelan and John Wise represented different political parties but in many ways were peas in a pod.

They were friendly rivals from the same area of southwestern Ontario.

Both were Ontario producers with a deep affection for “their” farmers and fierce support for supply management in the face of sometimeshostile reaction within their own governments.

Whelan was agriculture minister for more than 10 years under Pierre Trudeau from 1972-1979 and 1980-84.

He didn’t invent the policy that created supply management, but he oversaw the development of chicken and egg supply management agencies.

Never one to hide his light under a bushel basket, Whelan claimed that he played a key role in ending communism in the Soviet Union by hosting then-Soviet agriculture minister Mikhail Gorbachev on a tour of Ontario farms in 1983.

In many ways, with his unique Whelanese way of speaking, he was one of Trudeau’s few populist ministers. He was unafraid to face farmer critics, got doused with milk on Parliament Hill during a dairy farmer protest and faced critics head-on.

In his retirement after almost three decades in Parliament, he remained an active, persistent critic of subsequent ministers and governments, often beginning telephone calls with, “when I was your agriculture minister …”

The punch line obviously was that “things were better.”

Whelan died in February.

A month before, his old friend Wise (1979-80, 1984-88) also died.

He was an Elgin County dairy farmer, a gentleman not comfortable with the more base aspects of partisan politics, and like Whelan, dedicated to

preserving supply management.

Wise spoke forcefully in favour of the system, defended it against skeptics like finance minister Michael Wilson and in the end bowed out of politics in 1988 after 16 years as an MP. The suspicion was that he feared the impact of the 1988 Canada-U.S. free trade deal on supply management. He would never confirm nor deny.

Wise died in January.

Then the year ended on a happier note.

Former Alberta Progressive Conservative MP Don Mazankowski, still very much with us 20 years after he retired from politics, was elevated to the highest political honour Canada can offer: Companion of the Order of Canada.

Mazankowski , a Vegreville farmer and automobile and farm machinery dealer, was agriculture minister for less

than three years (1988-91) but as finance minister, transport minister and deputy prime minister during a 25-year House of Commons career, this northeastern Alberta MP always had agriculture in the back of his mind.

And he was tough.

He read the riot act to provinces that were paying less than their share of agricultural costs, he cancelled the annual Agricultural Outlook Conference in 1989 that had become a forum for government information but also criticism and took on all comers when it came to criticism.

In late 2013, he was elevated to Companion of the Order of Canada, having first joined the elite group under Liberal prime minister Jean Chrétien in 2000.

Mazankowski is properly honoured.

Chinese policy sees detrimental result

Innovation needs innovative plan

BY DAVID HOWDEN

EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

C

hina’s one-child policy was once heralded as a textbook example of good government policy.

Implemented in 1979, it was a bid to alleviate the country’s social, economic and environmental problems.

In particular, the policy responded to a reduction in the availability of health-care services and low savings by lessening the strains on overcrowded hospitals and giving parents a reason to save for retirement because few children meant that grandparents would have to fend for themselves.

Never mind that in 1979, hospitals in China were government-run, as they still are today, and people had few outlets in which to invest in their retirements.

The Chinese government estimates that 400 million births have been avoided as a result of the policy. Selfselective abortion has resulted in a plethora of boys in search of girls who don’t exist.

While the natural ratio of boys to girls is 105 to 100, the Chinese preference for boys has resulted in 123 boys for every 100 girls. The population will soon get extremely old before it starts to contract rapidly. By 2050, the country’s population will shrink by about four million people a year, and one-quarter of its citizens will be older than 65.

Economic growth is driven by two factors: labour and capital. If the supply of labour cannot increase, the stock of capital will have to increase or the efficiency of production processes improved just to

“T A one child policy has resulted in a boy/girl imbalance that will take a few generations to fix. | maintain the status quo.

With fewer future workers, not only will economic growth be hampered, but it might not be feasible to support the horde of retirees. China’s pension scheme may be younger than most other countries, considering it was established only in 2000, but it is already scarily underfunded to the tune of 150 percent of the country’s GDP. However, never fear, the Chinese government is on the case.

Recognizing the error in its previous ways, Beijing has now changed its tune and is relaxing the infamous one-child policy to allow for two children. While this is an increase of 100 per cent, it is a drop in the bucket compared to what is needed.

Not all children make it to reproductive age, which means the birth rate must be 2.1 children per couple just to maintain the existing population.

In fact, the policy is expected to add only modest growth to the number of Chinese births, perhaps an extra one or two million over the next couple years. This is a drop in the bucket in a country with a population of more than 1.35 billion.

The country’s labour force is expected to lose more than 67 million workers over the next 15 years.

China’s population crunch is just a specific example of a general problem: government does a terrible job at fixing prices and quantities in the economy, and problems are bound to result.

Every first-year economics student learns that markets allocate goods from the most efficient producers to those consumers who most desire them.

However, most people don’t realize that the forces that influence prices and quantities in the T-shirt market

are the same forces that influence the number of babies being born and the cost of child rearing.…

When quantities are limited, as is the case of children under the onechild policy, the predictable result is that there will be people who want, but are unable, to have a child.

Demand will outstrip supply until there is an imbalance.

This mismatch is especially acute with children because it means the unfortunate consequence of not having the “right” amount of workers in the future economy.

GM OPPOSITION | LABEL

Prepare for more to succumb to anti-GMO pressure HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

S

lowly, but steadily, the antiGMO forces are winning. For evidence, look no further than the decision by General Mills to make its original Cheerios non-genetically modified.

Social media has become the dominant public relations weapon, and the anti-science crowd used it to effectively target Cheerios over the past year.

The ramifications may seem rather insignificant. Cheerios are mostly made from oats, and oats aren’t a GM crop. The switch just means that the corn starch has to come from nonGM corn and the one gram of sugar per serving has to come from sugar cane rather than sugar beets.

However, this is a big deal for a large company churning out a large number of products in a competitive marketplace. New sources for these ingredients must be found, and they have to remain segregated within the production process.

The consumer is always right and increasingly consumers are fearful, non-scientific and accepting of conspiracy theories. Big business is bad, you can’t trust government agencies, natural has to be better and the old ways were always healthier.

Consumers with an open mind who are willing to listen to both sides of the argument end up not knowing what to believe. Just in case there’s any credibility in what the anti-GMO zealots are saying, they typically decide to err on the side of safety and caution.

When anti-GMO activist Mark Lynas changed his mind and admitted he had been wrong about GM food, it was a glimmer of hope that perhaps reason would eventually prevail. Alas, the overall tide of public opinion is shifting to the side vacated

by Lynas.

For now, most GM labelling proposals have been defeated, but the proposals will just keep coming.

Recently, the island of Hawaii banned genetically modified crops with the exception of papayas.

Genetic modification has saved papaya farms on the island from a devastating disease, but that wasn’t enough to stop the majority from believing GM has to be evil.

Groups such as Green America and GMO Inside are hailing the Cheerios decision as a major victory, noting this is the top selling cereal in the United States. But of course, they want General Mills to go even further and make all Cheerios non-GMO. To its credit, General Mills is defending the safety of GM food. According to the company, the switch to nonGMO in original Cheerios is simply “because we think consumers may embrace it.”

Still, the anti-GMO crowd is no doubt emboldened. It is proving that fear can trump facts, and even big companies have to be mindful of public opinion.

So what are the practical implica-

tions for farmers?

Most of Canada’s oats are exported to the United States. General Mills helps fund variety research work in Western Canada. If original Cheerios becomes a big hit, that could increase the demand for oats.

If you’re hoping GM wheat will someday be approved, prepare to be disappointed. Unless the world becomes extremely hungry, it isn’t going to happen with wheat, pulse crops or any other crop in which the technology hasn’t already been adopted.

Expect more marketplace disruptions, such as the recent rejections of U.S. corn shipments by the Chinese because of a GM trait that hasn’t been approved in China.

Expect demand for Clearfield canola to continue increasing. It’s non-GMO. It’s difficult to predict how quickly the anti-GM wave will wash over our cropping practices, but make no mistake. The wave is coming.

aking so much out of AgriStability and AgriInvest and investing so little of that back into innovation does not send a strong signal that governments are serious about innovation.”

— Ron Bonnett, president, Canadian Federation of Agriculture, Sept. 28, 2012 WP Who gave that man a crystal ball?

Well over a year ago, Ron Bonnett was expressing concerns about Growing Forward 2, which would reduce business risk management funding and theoretically improve innovation. A similar concern came from Doug Chorney, president of Keystone Agricultural Producers, who called the GF2 innovation agenda “undefined.”

Indeed, indications are that the federal government’s view of innovation is hardly in step with the rest of the industry.

In late November, Stephen Morgan Jones, Agriculture Canada’s top prairie research bureaucrat, warned at an Ottawa symposium that the country’s basic wheat research — along with the discovery component — is falling behind, competitively speaking.

He was referring to both public and private funding. It was interesting that Morgan Jones received support on the public funding side from a seriously invested industry guy.

Darcy Pawlik, head of cereals for Syngenta in North America, also argued that a stronger government commitment is necessary.

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

As if to add an exclamation point to their concerns, the National Research Council announced at the end of 2013 that it was eliminating 57 positions — 24 of them in aquatic and crop resource development. The NRC had previously announced that it was taking a new, more industry-focused approach to research, but it’s hard to see how that necessarily leads to fewer scientists — and how cutting science jobs lines up philosophically with an innovation agenda.

NRC did recently launch a $95 million wheat program, with costs shared by institutional and government partners, but it seems pretty clear the program may have a short shelf life if industry doesn’t come banging at the door.

If such reductions continue, will Canadian farmers struggle to compete without science to protect them from climate, pests and, indeed, their own BRM-averse government?

Perhaps we should ask Ron Bonnett, the man with the crystal ball.

Re: WP op-ed, Nov. 21, “No room in science for provocateurs.”

I read, with interest, the opinion piece authored by Cami Ryan, a research associate with the University of Saskatchewan’s College of Agriculture and Bioresources. I observed that the premise of Ryan’s position was that the three studies or trials were flawed science and the authors were provocateurs. She reached that conclusion because the studies were, in her opinion, guilty of (not adhering to) three or more of the cornerstones of “good” science including poor methodology, statis-

www.fmccrop.ca

tical analysis, controls, sample sizes and spelling and grammar errors.

She also mentioned the fact that the authors refused to release data or methods so that other scientists could replicate the work.…

I have not been able to locate one study done by institutional scientists that is not funded by the proponents of genetically modified organisms that provide evidence that genetically modified organisms are safe.

The studies show that there are no ill effects to the consumers of the organisms, but how long were those studies conducted and what are the sample sizes and methodology utilized? …I challenge Ryan and her associates at the university, as well as other agricultural institutions, to conduct a

simple study of genetically modified organisms and any effects on animals fed those GMOs. I would like to suggest that the studies be designed so that there is accepted methodology, good use of controls, appropriate sample sizes and above all proper grammar and correct spelling in the final report.

I agree that we all would be interested in the results of a properly conducted study of genetically modified organisms as feed for animal consumption. My idea of an ideal study would be to feed genetically modified feed to rats, rabbits or other suitable mammals for at least three generations. Then observe for any positive or negative manifestations and report those findings to the public

and let the public know the results.

Let the public read the results with no spin or conclusion. The results may even be provocative.

EXERT PRESSURE To the Editor: The Western Canola & Pulse Crops Producer supplement to the Nov. 28 edition of The Producer contains two reports of public sector research with potentially great benefit to canola growers and the canola industry.

The first describes development of hairy canola by scientists at the Agriculture Canada Saskatoon Research Centre. The second relates a breakthrough in green seed by researchers at the University of Calgary.

These research projects both offer solutions to serious production problems encountered by prairie farmers. Hairy canola could reduce or eliminate the use of chemical pesticides to control flea beetles, a major insect pest of canola. Lowering green seed content would lessen the biggest downgrading factor for canola.

Whatever the potential of these technologies, the aforementioned articles make it clear that the reception to them by some players in the canola industry is not the same.

The University of Calgary researchers anticipate licensing their technology to the likes of Bayer CropScience, Monsanto and BASF. In contrast, it is apparent that Ag Canada’s discoveries have not received an enthusiastic reception from the “big three.”

It is no surprise that companies enjoying sizeable profits from the sale of pesticides to control flea beetles are not excited by an innovation making these pesticides obsolete.

This is not the first instance in which the result of public sector canola research could languish unused.

About a decade ago, Ag Canada scientists in Saskatoon developed yellowseeded Argentine canola.

Adoption of yellow seed would have significantly increased seed oil content and improved the quality of canola meal for livestock rations. It is still sitting on the shelf.

The potential harm to the canola industry from failure to adopt discoveries such as hairy canola and yellow-seeded Argentine canola cannot pass unchallenged. If the private sector canola breeding companies will not adopt this technology, there needs to be an alternative means of its commercialization.

The bottom line is that public sector science serves the public interest.

Private companies serve their corporate interests. If the two are incompatible, the public interest should take precedence. In the current situation, this appears an unlikely outcome unless there is pressure from producers and the general public.

LEADERLESS ORGANIZATIONS To the Editor: Producers in Western Canada are experiencing governments with

THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | JANUARY 9, 2014

insane agricultural policies.

When the announcement about killing the Canadian Wheat Board was made by (agriculture) minister Gerry Ritz, there was Saskatchewan agriculture minister Bob Bjornerud sitting beside him. Bjornerud looked uneasy but never took a stand to save the CWB, even though Saskatchewan producers elected six of six farmers as directors for the CWB who supported the single desk.

Brad Wall, premier of Saskatchewan, never took a stand on the CWB either and I suspect the trade-off was the prime minster stopping the sale of Saskatchewan potash companies to foreigners.

Present Saskatchewan ag minister Lyle Stewart now has a big problem on his hands with Ottawa shutting down the PFRA (Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration) pastures and the Indian Head tree nursery.

Stewart should leave these proper-

ties as publicly owned and protected as they have been since the 1930s, rather than putting farmers deeper into debt by requiring them to buy these assets again After all, it was our tax dollars that purchased them in the first place…

Norm Hall, president, Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan, and Doug Chorney, president, Keystone Agricultural Producer Association, are gentlemen who appear not to take a stand on any issue that might get them on the wrong side of the federal government. Their waffling on the CWB single desk is on the public record. Recently, Chorney and Hall have been silent on UPOV 91, which will take more royalties from farmers for the seed they have already paid to develop.

These so-called leaders and farm organizations must take stands on important agricultural issues and promote initiatives that are good for

farmers and not let the federal government destroy family farms and bully them into oblivion.

Eric Sagan, Melville, Sask.

REAL WORLD ISSUES To the Editor: I see that agriculture minister Gerry Ritz is off in his fantasy world again (Dec. 5 WP). He says that he has been working with producers to improve agriculture, but out here in the real world the opposite seems to be true.

No government has worked so hard against the wishes of so many farmers to disempower them. Yes, I know most of us rallied behind the Crowsnest freight rates, but do you really think that agreement would have survived (prime minister Stephen)

Harper?

Against the wishes of two-thirds to four-fifths of western farmers, Harper and Ritz destroyed the CWB, costing us hundreds of millions per year.

They say that they support supply management, in apparent contradiction to their philosophy, yet they have started to trade away the cheese market for pretend increases in beef exports.

Canada is (was?) known for growing the best bread wheat in the world, yet Conservative-led changes in registration, grading and handling are moving us toward growing the same old schlock that everyone else grows.

It should be noted that no one else has the additional cost of getting their generic wheat through the Rocky Mountains or the Great Lakes before they can sell it.

To general producer disapproval, they have also made cuts to the PFRA (Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Admin-

istration), the CGC (Canadian Grain Commission), Ag Canada research stations and heritage sites like the Seeger Wheeler farm.

Ritz is proud of Growing Forward 2, however it is designed to shift economic and discretionary power away from farmers toward big business. In his letter, he correctly stated that he was working with industry on that one, but he did not mention farmers.

Ritz and company have a mania for trade, which is fine, but any increase in potential trade is a very hollow victory if farmers cannot profit from it.

We must also remember that any bits and pieces of funding that minister Ritz announces are carved out of roughly half of what we used to have as a federal agriculture budget.

With friends like this, who needs enemies?

magine yourself a Grade 3 student who is interested in the arts and attends a small rural school.

If you live in the Livingstone Range School Division in southwestern Alberta, your talents are appreciated and encouraged.

The school division has an annual “emerging artists” competition, where students are encouraged to submit their creative masterpieces. A jury, made up of independent people, determines award winners.

The works selected are then displayed in the school board offices and public areas for one year. Winning artists are awarded a certificate and honorarium and are free to sell their masterpiece.

Livingstone School in Lundbreck, Alta., with its 200 kindergarten to Grade 12 students, has a history of outstanding art teachers so the parent council decided to take the prestigious emerging artist collection to another level.

Photographs of winning works are made into note cards and sold as a fundraiser for the school. In the past year, the jury selected the works of 12 students for the art cards. A write-up of the project is included on the back of each card. Cards are used for correspondence from the school and are for sale to the public.

What a win-win venture. Students can show off their work and the school can boast about its artistic program. Funds raised go toward the school’s landscaping and playground development plan.

Community-based projects such as this encourage individuals of all ages to develop and share their Godgiven abilities.

RESEARCH | SEED SORTING

Researchers tackle toxic grain at feed centre Infrared technology | Officials are trying to remove infected kernels individually

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Researchers at the University of Saskatchewan’s agriculture college have teamed up with the Global Institute for Food Security to look for ways to remove harmful mycotoxins from grain samples.

Tom Scott, research chair in feed processing at the U of S, said the institute will contribute $1.5 million to a project aimed at identifying and removing mycotoxins caused by fusarium damaged kernels and ergot.

Commercial grain that contains mycotoxins must be blended off to ensure that levels fall below levels established by grain industry regulators.

The new research will take a new approach to dealing with toxic grain.

Instead of blending off infected grains, researchers will explore the

possibility of removing them, kernel by kernel, using near infrared spectrometry and other technology.

The Canadian Feed Research Centre, a university-owned facility at North Battleford, Sask., has equipment capable of analyzing grain on a kernel by kernel basis.

The BoMill seed sorter can sort as many as 20,000 seeds per second using near infrared technology.

The machine has already been used on a test basis at the North Battleford facility and will be permanently installed later this year.

The $400,000 machine can analyze every seed in a sample according to moisture content, crude protein, starch profile, mineral content, bread making quality and malting quality.

S e e d s t h a t p a s s t h ro u g h t h e machine can be analyzed and divided into as many as three seed lots at a rate of three tonnes per hour.

Plant employee Scott Bishoff uses a touch screen display to show how feed can be directed to different areas of the Canadian Feed Research Centre located at North Battleford, Sask. | BRIAN CROSS PHOTOS If the application proves successful, the project could have significant implications for Canada’s grain and livestock feed industries, which handle hundreds of tonnes of ergot and fusarium infected grain a year.

lowers protein deposition in those kernels,” said Scott.

“So those kernels that come out infected with fusarium are the kernels that are potentially producing mycotoxins.

“The seed sorter that we have … uses near infrared spectrometry to estimate crude protein of individual kernels of wheat, barley and durum.”

Scott said preliminary studies suggest removing 10 to 20 percent of the lowest protein kernels will result in samples that fall below established mycotoxin thresholds.

Additional research will be conducted using colour sorters and another newly patented fusarium technology that was developed in Winnipeg.

The research centre in North Battleford is nearing completion and is hoped to be fully operational later this year.

It w ill conduct research that enhances the nutritional value of bulk feed stocks such as cereal grains, canola meal, pea hulls and dried distillers grain.

Its equipment will include hammer mills, roller mills, flakers, screening machines, mixers, cooking and conditioning equipment, extruders, pelleters and vacuum coaters, which allow researchers to use complex processing techniques and optimize the nutritional components found in

raw feed stocks.

Other research to be conducted at the facility will look at improving the porosity of livestock pellets, using steam flaked peas in dairy rations and enhancing the consistency of feeds such as DDGs and canola meal, whose quality and nutritional characteristics can vary significantly from one batch to the next.

Scott said the completed plant will be a world-class facility capable of conducting complex feed research.

The centre also includes an industrial scale processing line that can produce commercial quantities of processed feed that were formulated and tested on a research scale.

“We have one of the plants worldwide that I’m aware of that has the capacity to take research from the pilot scale to the industrial scale,” Scott said.

“That is a very unique feature … because there’s always been concerns that research that’s conducted on smaller equipment … doesn’t necessarily apply when it’s done in a commercial setting. I’ve never been in a more complex facility.… It’s all about being able to formulate diets consistently and accurately.”

Public investment in the centre was originally estimated at $13.3 million, but construction of the plant and installation of equipment will come in over budget, Scott said.

RESEARCH | BIRD MIGRATION

Crowding may encourage migration Heading south | Climate may limit the number of species the area can support

BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Migratory birds may be fleeing for reasons other than frigid temperatures when they fly south for the winter.

So says Veronique Boucher-Lalonde of the University of Ottawa, a researcher who studies species richness, which is the number of species that exist in a given place.

She wanted to know why populations of migratory birds around the world are so predictable.

In a recently published paper, Boucher-Lalonde surveyed hun-

dreds of range maps of migratory birds, finding they experience a variety of conditions, which, in broad terms, show they have greater physiological tolerances than many may think.

“If what species like is just staying in the same sort of environmental conditions throughout the year, then they would be better off not migrating,” she said.

So while Canada geese enjoy summers in the country for which they are named before wintering in the mid and southern United States, others have a different climactic travel itinerary.

Boucher-Lalonde, who isn’t an ornithologist by trade, didn’t give names of individual species in her paper.

Instead, she was looking for trends emerging from the more than 600 species she studied.

She observed that many migratory birds will occupy different temperature ranges in different seasons with different resources and precipitation levels.

“It definitely refutes many hypothesis about species richness,” she said.

Boucher-Lalonde said climate influences migration, but it’s because of limits in the number of species that

“There are exceptions, of course, but in general the individual species, when they migrate, they migrate to a place that is very different than the place they come from, which suggest

that the climate actually limits the number of species that can be there and not really which ones,” she said.

“Because you get a whole different assemblage of species when the climate changes.”

Rob O’Connor is leaving his position as manager of Canada’s Farm Progress Show in Regina to become general manager of the Provincial Exhibition of Manitoba in Brandon.

He leaves Regina at the end of January after 10 years as show manager and takes over in Brandon Feb. 17.

“I really still have that great passion for the livestock and equine industry, so that’s a very large part of Manitoba’s provincial exhibition, and I think what I’ve learned from farm show and the successes we’ve had over the last decade with the show, if I can duplicate that in Brandon, it will be a good thing,” he said.

He will be responsible for three major shows in Brandon — the Royal Manitoba Winter Fair, the Manitoba Summer Fair and the Manitoba Livestock Expo — as well as a community fundraising event and many smaller events. This will be a different situation from the one signature event he managed in Regina.

He, his wife, Dawn, and two young daughters operate a purebred Hereford business southeast of Regina at Vibank. The first of 90 expected calves arrived just as reporters were calling him for comments on his job change.

“We’re going to still operate the farm here in Vibank. In the meantime, my father is flying out (from Ontario) and he’s going to look after the cows.”

The family is unlikely to sell the farm.

O’Connor was raised in Kisbey, Sask., and then Ontario. He and Dawn bought the Vibank farm when they moved back to the province in 2001.

O’Connor said he likes change, which was a constant at Farm Progress. His stamp will still be on the 2014 show, however, as the show floor plan will be complete by the end of this month.

“I hope that I can take the relationships that I built at the farm show, especially in Manitoba, with me to Brandon and keep promoting the grains and oilseeds sector in some manner,” he said.

Karen Oliver, the current manager in Brandon, is overseeing the Display Building No. II project. The outside restoration of the 1913 heritage building has been done and now the inside must be completed.

FOOD SAFETY | U.S. POULTRY

U.S. industry leaps to defend safety of poultry meat Responding to study | Consumer Reports says it finds bacteria in chicken General Mills has stopped using genetically modified ingredients in its Cheerios cereal. | MICHAEL HIMBEAULT PHOTO / WWW.FLICKR.COM/PHOTOS/RIEBART/ GMO | MANUFACTURING

General Mills offers GM-free Cheerios to entice consumers (Reuters) — General Mills Inc. said it has stopped using genetically modified ingredients in the popular breakfast cereal Cheerios.

It hopes the move will firm up customer loyalty in the face of growing opposition to such additives.

Many activists and critics have cited studies showing that GM crops are not safe for people and animals who consume them.

Some activist groups opposing GM food also say the crops create environmental problems by encouraging more chemical use and that consumers should have the right to know what they are buying.

However, General Mills, which also makes Betty Crocker dessert mixes and Yoplait yoghurt, said in a company blog post Jan. 2 that its decision was not driven by safety concerns or pressure from critics.

“It’s not about safety. Biotech seeds, also known as genetically modified seeds, have been approved by global food safety agencies and widely used by farmers in global food crops for almost 20 years,” the General Mills blog said.

The company said it has begun using non-GM cornstarch and non-GM sugar in Cheerios, adding that oats, the primary ingredient, is not GM. It hopes “consumers may embrace” its decision to move away from GM ingredients.

In November, a Washington state ballot measure that would have required labelling of food containing GM crops did not win wide approval.

A consortium including General Mills, Nestle USA, PepsiCo., Monsanto and DuPont was a key contributor to the $22 million raised to campaign against the bill.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (Reuters) — U.S. poultry producers have dramatically reduced the presence of harmful bacteria in poultry meat, a trade group said while defending the industry’s food safety record.

“The numbers tell us we’re making tremendous progress,” the National Chicken Council said in a statement that described poultry as overwhelmingly safe to eat.

It pointed to steps taken by producers and processors to reduce the presence of salmonella bacteria, which can cause food-borne illness.

The trade group contested the conclusions of a Consumer Reports nationwide sampling of raw chicken breasts for potentially harmful types of bacteria, which was released in late December.

Consumer Reports included three types of bacteria that the government does not consider to be risky, and declared some antibiotic-resistant bacteria to be “superbugs” when effective medicines may still be available to fight them, the NCC said.

It said prevalence of salmonella on chicken carcasses is down 55 percent in five years, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture tests. As well, the latest USDA quarterly report said 2.6 percent of carcasses tested positive for the bacteria, well within

Consumer Reports said half of its samples contained bacteria resistant to three or more antibiotics and 11 percent contained two types of bacteria with multi-drug resistance. The magazine said it tested for six types of potentially harmful bacteria.

Meanwhile, the Organic Consumers Association said the government

should impose a mandatory ban on non-medical use of antibiotics in livestock instead of its plan for a three-year voluntary phase-down.

TRADE | TRANSATLANTIC TRADE AND INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIP

Tough talks expected to reach U.S.-EU trade deal European farmers already worried | Key stumbling blocks are likely to be genetic modification and geographical indications BRUSSELS, Belgium (Reuters) — Genetically modified crops, chlorinewashed chicken, beef quotas and a fight over who can call Greek-style cheese “feta” all block the way toward the world’s largest free trade deal.

U.S. and European Union negotiators were expected to determine a list of sticking points last week in Washington during their third round of talks, with food issues being chief among them.

At a time of low economic growth on both sides of the Atlantic, EU-U.S. free trade negotiations seek to inte-

grate two markets representing almost half the world’s economy in a sophisticated agreement going far beyond lowering tariffs.

However, food is different and the old issues that have bedevilled many trade talks around the world are likely to complicate the ambitious Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) between Brussels and Washington.

EU-Canada free trade talks, known as the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), dragged on for months before Brus-

sels agreed to let in 45,000 more tonnes a year of Canadian beef and 75,000 tonnes of pork free of tariffs.

It is just a fraction of the EU’s output of 7.7 million tonnes of beef and 20 million tonnes of pork, but the imports will be high-value hams and hind cuts of beef, which is a lot for Irish and French farmers to swallow.

A U.S. deal would let in more.

“You will destroy the market. The U.S. won’t agree on an equivalent quota lower than that of Canada. For beef, their exports are double the size,” said Jean-Luc Meriaux, secre-

tary general of the European Livestock and Meat Trading Union.

“Two products paid for CETA: beef and pork. We fear they will also pay for the U.S. deal.”

Europe takes a precautionary approach to food safety, making it far more difficult and time-consuming to clear new practices and to see products reach the mouths of consumers.

The U.S. farm lobby is not amused.

A group of 47 U.S. food and agricultural associations wrote to U.S. trade representative Michael Froman to

IF THERE’S A MORE ADVANCED PULSE FUNGICIDE OUT THERE, ONLY THE GOVERNMENT KNOWS ABOUT IT.

It’s the pulse fungicide “they” don’t want you to know about. New Priaxor® DS fungicide is incredibly advanced chemistry that packs an impressive range of benefits. It provides more consistent, broad-spectrum disease control through its multiple modes of action, and it delivers the unique benefits* of AgCelence®.

express their concerns.

“Our optimism for the TTIP negotiations may have been premature or misplaced,” they said, arguing that restrictions are often based on perception and politics rather than science.

The EU has ruled out importing meat from animals injected with hormones and said it will not simply open the door to GM crops. The trading bloc has allowed just two crops to be grown in Europe. A potential third has been awaiting approval for 12 years.

The EU has cleared 50 of 450 commercial GM strains for import as food or feed. It accepts 30 million tonnes a year for cattle, hogs and poultry, but EU supermarkets do not dare stock GM food for consumers.

An exasperated U.S. industry says Europe has no need to change its rules but must consider whether it is necessary to label GM product as such, and whether it can speed up the process of approvals.

Seventy-four GM products were awaiting EU clearance at the end of 2012, with authorization taking almost four years, compared with two in the United States.

Resistance is not uniform. The EU livestock industry says clearing more GM feed would reduce the cost of verifying that imports contain no traces of non-approved crops.

“Today, a ship is transporting an EU-approved product, but we need to know what was it transporting before,” said Meriaux. “Who is paying for all that? The EU sector.”

Elsewhere, progress has been made.

The United States said last month it would comply with international standards for the prevention of BSE, potentially reopening a market closed to EU beef since 1998.

The EU has lifted bans on imports of U.S. beef washed with lactic acid and of live hogs. The U.S. poultry industry wants the EU to accept chickens washed with chlorine.

EU consumers are suspicious of U.S. poultry treated with chlorine dioxide and beef treated with lactic acid to kill pathogens, concerned that using such chemicals make the food unsafe. The U.S. says there is ample evidence that they are safe.

The issue infuriates U.S. farmers, who see it as nothing other than veiled protectionism for European farmers.

Meanwhile, the EU is determined to write into any deal its system of geographical indications, which protects countries’ or regions’ exclusive right to product names, such as France’s champagne, Greek feta cheese and Italian parma ham.

U.S. groups say this demand “defies credibility” because in the cause of free trade, U.S. producers would, for example, no longer be able to market cheeses as feta.

The U.S. has its own product bans, such as raw milk cheese that is not aged for at least 60 days, which bars some French cheeses, such as blueveined Roquefort.

Some EU sausages cannot enter the U.S. market because of a zero tolerance to listeria in fermented meat products.

“The United States has told us that they will very likely not change their minds on this,” said Dirk Dobbelaere, secretary general of the EU meat processing association Clitravi.

B.C. FARMLAND | CONSERVANCY RESTRUCTURES

Sale of protected land threatens farm B.C. land conservancy broke | Growers will lose land used for an organic market garden and forage production for cattle

BY TAMARA LEIGH FREELANCE WRITER

DUNC AN, B.C . — Vancouver Island farmers John and Katy Ehrlich face an imminent threat to their farm and business with the sale of the historic Keating Farm in the Cowichan Valley.

After leasing and farming the land for seven years, the sale of the property could mean they must vacate with as little as 90 days notice.

“We basically can’t start another season here, but we have already put in our garlic crop, worth about $5,000, as well as a couple of other crops,” said John.

“This is our seventh year on the two-acre garden plot. It is certified organic and it is in prime condition for market vegetables. It has taken this long to get there and now we have to let it go.”

The Keating Farm is one of several properties owned by the Land Conservancy of British Columbia and targeted to sell as it struggles to stay out of bankruptcy.

The conservancy board recently approved an offer to purchase the property for the full listed price of $749,000.

The Ehrlichs are calling on the conservancy to help facilitate an agreement with the new owners that will allow them to at least finish the growing season and harvest their existing crops in July.

“When they listed, we made an offer to purchase at the B.C. assessment value of $350,000, but that was way too low for TLC,” said John.

The loss of the two-acre market garden will reduce the Ehrlichs’ production capacity by 25 percent and significantly impact their ability to supply the 200 families that subscribe to their Community Supported Agriculture vegetable program.

They will also lose 10 acres of forage production and pasture for their small herd of beef cattle.

“This is one of our oldest leases, where production is the highest.

Some of the other plots aren’t there yet,” said John.

“We will have to find more vegetable land, find more hay land and find a place for the cows. It’s not that easy in the Cowichan Valley.”

In B.C., where agricultural land prices can reach $30,000 to $100,000 an acre, leasing and renting land is increasingly common for young farmers and others who cannot afford to own land.

“How is farming going to be viable when people don’t have full and reliable access to land?” asked Katy.

“There is this new (Young Agrarians) movement that is really trying to connect farmers and landowners, but the reality is that we are one of the

few farmers in the Cowichan Valley who are renting and producing off of our rented land.”

“If we can’t rely on a 15 year contract to be able to produce vegetables on with an organization that stands for ethical land practice, then that’s not a good thing for the future of farming,” she said.

“After six years, we are getting to 90 to 100 percent production, but when we started at Keating Farm it was 20 percent. It makes you a little gun shy about renting or leasing.”

John Shields, conservancy director of operations, said there is no lease between the Ehrlichs and the conservancy and that the lack of encumbrances was instrumental in the choice to sell the Keating Farm.

The Ehrlichs signed a 15-year lease with a co-operative headed by Farm Folk City Folk, a Vancouver-based non-profit group. When the co-oper-

ative failed in 2012, the lease did not transfer to the conservancy.

“There was no agreement specifically with TLC,” said Shields. “We were aware the Ehrlichs were farming and were interested in acquiring the farm, but their offer was much lower than the asking price.”

The conservancy has asked the realtor to facilitate a meeting between the new owners of the property and the Ehrlichs to find a solution.

The conservancy has been under creditor protection since October 2013, and a court-appointed monitor is helping the non-profit organization restructure to address its debt. It

hopes to sell some of its holdings to raise money to repay creditors.

“Our major concern right now is that TLC doesn’t go under while we are trying to deal with over $7 million in debt,” said Shields.

“We want to be able to pay our mortgage holders and creditors, and not simply go bankrupt and leave everybody hanging. There will be no protection for any of our properties if we don’t succeed.”

The conservancy owns and manages 50 properties, including historic houses, undeveloped lands and farm and ranch properties throughout the province.

It also has registered and monitors more than 250 covenants on these and other B.C. properties. Keating Farm is the only agricultural property that was listed to sell as part of the non-profit’s restructuring process.

“Other agricultural properties are not for sale at the moment or on the short-term horizon,” said Shields.

“We are trying to avoid selling anything that has any degree of complication to it.”

The current offer for the Keating Farm is on track to have the final subject removed, before going to the courts for final approval. The deal is expected to close this month.

ON THE FARM | SEED BUSINESS

Family learns to separate business, family Seed, media businesses | Love of agricultural industry allows both on-farm businesses to thrive

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

PICTURE BUTTE, Alta. — Shaun Haney appreciates the dichotomy that is his life.

On one side, he is running the Haney Farms seed business, a venerable company established in 1927 and made famous in the Canadian seed industry by his grandfather, Leonard K. Haney.

On the other side, he built and operates Real Agriculture, an agricultural communications business that uses modern technology and social media to inform farmers.

Both businesses are based at Haney Farms near Picture Butte, Alta., where Shaun and his wife, Trish, are raising their three children, Kalem, 11, Rylynn, 9, and Karsen, 8.

The Picture Butte Feeder Association, the largest in the province, also operates from the farm office and is run by Shaun’s father, Dick. Shaun’s brother, Kevin, and sister, Kerri Lynn Haney-Vandenberg, are also involved in various parts of the operation. Trish does office administration for both the seed and media businesses.

“There’s multiple things happening in this office,” said Shaun, citing the efforts of a staff of 10.

“With two separate businesses running, I cannot say enough about the group of people we have in both companies. I’m extremely fortunate to have the team that we have here.”

Their dedication was forged partly through a rocky farm transition about six years ago.

“Going through a very tough family succession struggle has really sort of solidified the group that is here,” said Shaun.

“Like any family business, there are some moments of stress but I think there’s a pretty solid relationship.…

We really try to make sure that there isn’t factions or silos that develop.

There’s very much a belief that if we’re going to talk about something, let’s really talk about it, as a group.”

Dick said inevitably there are contentious issues that crop up in business.

“They have to be parked,” he said.

He credits his wife, Joyce, for making a concerted effort to maintain a work-life balance, keep in touch with children and grandchildren and organize get-togethers, some of which she often declares as “business free zones.”

“Shop talk is off limits,” Dick said.

“You have to make a conscious effort to leave the business at the business and just become a family,” he said.

Dick said the farm’s evolution and embrace of technology have allowed the operators more time to work on the business as opposed to working in the business, citing more time for long-term planning and analysis as examples.

The approximately 4,500 acres of farmland that once comprised the farm were sold about six years ago and feedlot operations were leased to a neighbour.

The seed business continues to flourish with about 20 growers contracted to produce seed, which Haney Farms then sells, retail or wholesale, to customers.

Shaun and Trish Haney work together on both their farm businesses, Haney Farms and Real Agriculture. |

Shaun says his online communications business grew out of a column, blog, hobby and interest in agriculture.

“We’re really kind of a unique model from the traditional seed grower operation that you would find across the West,” Shaun said.“My grandfather survived and thrived in a business where basically people just drove onto the scale. That’s long over.

There’s strong competition in the certified seed business.”

The farm’s most recent accolade was being named a 2013 shareholder of distinction by Canterra Seeds in early November.

Shaun handles the big picture issues for the seed business.

Ironically, he never planned to get involved in agriculture. He has a finance degree from the University of Lethbridge and had his eye on law school.

“I’m the most unmechanically inclined farm kid ever. I’m horrible.

Absolutely awful. I’ve never changed the oil in a vehicle. I’ve never changed a tire.”

He once tweeted that he needed help to change a windshield wiper, he said.

“But I’m really, really interested in the (agricultural) industry. Probably

too many times we think that in order to be a part of it, you have to have that skill set.”

Shaun formed Real Agriculture in 2008. It started as a blog and a hobby but after positive feedback from online readers, it has grown into a popular source of agricultural information.

“At no point did I ever really know what I was doing,” said Shaun.

Real Agriculture now has five fulltime staff.

“It’s a good niche and we don’t try to cover the news, so to speak. We try to provide insight and information on what’s happening.”

The two jobs require considerable travel, combined with many weekends spent at hockey rinks with the kids. Shaun said he and Trish man-

age their work and family demands carefully.

“One of the success strategies in running a family business, I think, is you sort of try to draw the line between family time and work time as much as you can. We’re getting much, much better at that.”

The work also brings its own enjoyment.

“We love the seed business. We are committed to that.

“I love the industry and how all that plays a part, but that’s probably one of the reasons why Real Ag spawned into something larger.

“I love meeting the people. I love the conversation and I feel extremely fortunate to be able to travel across the country to really, really understand agriculture.”

LOOKING BACK | COCKSHUTT FACTORY

Ontario company’s demise left many out of work

BY CHRISTALEE FROESE FREELANCE WRITER

WOLSELEY, Sask. — William H. Cockshutt witnessed the rise and fall of his family’s company.

As a boy living in Smiths Falls, Ont., in the late 1930s, he watched as the Cockshutt company evolved from a small foundry that made horsedrawn plows to a multimillion-dollar farm equipment company that built everything from disc plows, seeders and swathers to automobile bodies, ammunitions and aircraft parts. “When I was 11 or 12, the factory was in our back yard,� said Cockshutt, 85, who is now retired and living in Wolseley, Sask. with his wife, Helen. “I would throw my books in the door and I would wander through the factory to watch the manufacturing process.�

The Cockshutt 30 was the first live power take-off tractor in North America, making the Cockshutt

brand a famous one in Canada and the United States.

Built in 1947, it was the envy of North American tractor builders who rushed to copy the feature.

The Cockshutt implement story started in 1877 when Cockshutt’s great uncle, James Cockshutt, founded a small manufacturing company in Brantford, Ont., called the Brantford Plow Works.

The successors to the Brantford Plow Works were the Cockshutt Plow Company (1882) and the Cockshutt Farm Equipment Co. Ltd. (1951) Cockshutt remembers walking into the foundry. “The iron would be bright red, hot and steaming. It was almost fierce or frightening when they poured the hot metal into moulds of sand, but when it cooled they took the sand off and you ended up with a part of some kind like a transmission case.�

By the late 1940s, employment at the company was at 4,200 (down

from a wartime high of 5,000), with the Brantford factory covering 50 acres and a million sq. feet of manufacturing floor space.

The net operating profit for the year was $1,890,619 with total assets of $20,013,408.

Cockshutt rose in the ranks of the company’s sales team, eventually becoming branch manager in Kansas City, Kansas.

In 1962, the company was flourishing with Cockshutt’s uncle Gordon as president.

And then disaster struck.

An unknown group, identified only as a British mercantile bank called English Transcontinental, was buying Cockshutt stock on the open market.

“My uncle and board of directors thought that it was a wonderful idea.

Here’s an English bank that wants to put money into Canada. And then we found out that they were not who they said they were,� said Cockshutt.

English Transcontinental was a front for an American financial group whose business was to buy and dismantle companies. “It happened so suddenly that nobody knew what was happening until they arrived on the scene and said, ‘we own one-third of your company,’ � he said.

The decimation of Cockshutt Farm Equipment was devastating, not only for the company but for the many workers who were fired immediately.

Eight years after the hostile takeover, the Cockshutt company name was changed to White Farm Equipment and by the 1970s, White had gone bankrupt and the massive manufacturing centre in Brantford disappeared.

The Cockshutt story is preserved in Cockshutt’s book About Cockshutt, which draws on his collection of family documents, financial records and letters. “I’m hopeful that I’m making a contribution to history for future generations so they understand what Cockshutt did and the part it played in the agricultural and business development of Canada.�

GREY POWER | MUSIC PROGRAM

Singing program makes seniors happier, improves blood cell count SPEAKING OF LIFE

JACKLIN ANDREWS, BA, MSW

Q:

The new director of care for our long-term care home has asked me to develop a music program for the residents of the facility.

She has only been director of care for a couple of months but she has already made some changes that seem to be appreciated by the residents and their families.

The residents now have a residents’ council where they can discuss concerns with the staff and recommend changes that might make life a bit better for everyone there.

Residents have some say in what

meals they are served, when they are going to eat and who gets to sit with whom at the various supper tables.

Some residents have plants they nurture in their rooms and those residents who are mobile are encouraged to help in the community garden.

I love the spirit the director of care is bringing into the home and I hope to develop a music program that complements it. I would appreciate any guidance you might have.

A:

My first and most important suggestion to you is that you change your prepositions from “for” to “with.” You want to do things with the residents, not for them.

A Scandinavian study looked at the benefits choral singing had for residents in long-term care facilities. It found that those who participated in choral groups increased their white blood cell count, making them healthier and more capable of fighting viruses.

If you start a choral group, remember your goal is to help them achieve things they probably don’t think they can do.

Many of your singers may not have sung for a long time so you are going to have to start most of your practice times just humming and doing simple vocal exercises to get those vocal chords working again.

Pick simple music. You are going to get better results if your singers do not have to try too hard and are able to sing whatever you choose that has a vocal range of five or six notes.

There are many options in various music libraries.

Finally, make sure you are excited about the possibilities. The leader of a choral group is infectious. The more you are excited about what the group is doing, the more the group will respond.

DOCTOR VISITS | MAKEUP

Skin tone can tell doctor of problems HEALTH CLINIC

CLARE ROWSON, MD

Q:

I have been having a discussion with a friend about whether or not to wear makeup and look good when going to a doctor’s appointment. I thought it was best to avoid makeup so that the doctor can see whether you look ill or not. What do you think?

A:

From a doctor’s point of view, it is better to go to the doctor’s office with a bare face and no nail polish, if possible. Eyeliner or mascara does not matter as much because they do not affect the colour of your skin.

Part of the physical examination includes observing the colour of

cheeks and lips and also the nail beds. People who look pale may be anemic, while people who look yellowish may have pernicious anemia from vitamin B12 deficiency. A darker shade of yellow may indicate liver problems.

Bags under the eyes are clues for kidney disease, while dark circles might be a lack of sleep or sometimes an overuse of pain medications.

A bluish tinge to the skin is one sign of heart problems, and the nail beds may also have a blue or purple coloration. Purple or reddish noses and spider veins in the skin of the face may be due to alcoholism or a skin condition such as rosacea.

Wearing makeup and looking too well groomed may give the doctor a first impression that you are healthier than you actually are.

As a result, she may not bother to do tests or examine you as thoroughly.

Heart conditions in women are often missed because women often put on a good front rather than complain about the usual signs and symptoms.

It may be helpful to take a family member or close friend with you to

the doctor’s office. They may be able to explain your symptoms better than you can.

TRICKING DEMENTIA PATIENTS

Q:

Should you just agree with relatives who suffer from dementia and let them think, for example, that their spouses are still alive when they are deceased?

A:

A recent survey by Newcastle University and the Northumberland Tyne and Wear NHS Trust in the United Kingdom of 76 psychiatrists found that two-thirds of psychiatrists and almost all nurses admitted to lying to demented patients just to shut them up and keep them from repeating themselves.

The Alzheimer Society has condemned the practice, saying it is better for patients to face the truth about their deceased loved ones and undergo a more normal grieving process.

LIVESTOCK | GENETIC IMPROVEMENT

Cattle genomics only one factor in boosting profit Many still focus on the basics | ‘Don’t go all the way off the cliff thinking you are going to get all the answers with genomics’

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

EDMONTON — Genomics can objectively screen animals at a feedlot, but that knowledge is not going to change what the feeder has to work with.

“We are not changing the genetics at the feedlot,” said William Torres of Cattleland Feedyards in Strathmore, Alta.

“Cattle come in from all different sources from commercial herds.”

Cattleland has a capacity of 33,000 animals on two sites with a large private research component. As many as 5,000 bulls go on test each year, and the results should help the animals’ owners make improvements in their breeding plans the following year.

A big focus for the company is studying residual feed intake (RFI) and genomics, Torres told the annual Livestock Gentec conference held in Edmonton.

Residual feed intake is a highly heritable trait.

Cattle that eat less will have a negative RFI and those that eat more than what they were expected to consume have a positive RFI. Steers that eat less and gain the same amount are considered more efficient and are more valuable. They cost less to feed and produce lower greenhouse gas emissions.

“When you start showing to producers the difference in pounds of feed consumed and translate it over to dollars, that’s when you can get people’s attention,” he said.

The company works with Quantum Genetics in Saskatoon to run genetic tests to find the leptin gene that controls some of the proportion of fat and lean formation in cattle.

This helps predict which cattle will put on weight faster and go to market sooner.

Producers who select sires that express the leptin trait may also see an impact in calves’ weaning weight, backfat and yield.

Those are worthwhile qualities, but beef producers such as Steve Whitmore of North Carolina don’t want to stray too far from the basics.

He has a seed stock operation, a commercial cow-calf farm and a branded premium beef company where the meat is sold to Whole Foods. He is also chair of the Beef Improvement Federation, which tries to improve the industry through performance evaluation.

In efforts to increase profit and leave a sound business to his family he is looking to cut costs because other species such as pork and chicken have emerged as good feed converters.

“If you make your living in the cattle business, you have to look at every way to cut costs,” he said.

Every other animal protein sector has been able to improve their feedto-gain ratios, he added, which results in rapid growth and less time in the feeding environment.

The cow-calf producer stands to make the most money by identifying the cattle that produce more beef with less feed. It can be achieved with genomic selection, but breeders should not forget that animals still

need good feet and legs.

The top two or three most feed efficient animals may not look good phenotypically.

Demand for beef has dropped off, partly because it is costly to produce a consistently good result every time.

Changes are needed if beef wants to be the king of meats again.

“It better be good and it better be consistently good and it better be palatable,” he said.

Whitmore supports genomically enhanced expected progeny differences, but he said scientists will

eventually reach a point where they cannot get any closer in their predictions.

“Don’t go all the way off the cliff thinking you are going to get all the answers with genomics and DNA. It ain’t going to happen,” he said.

The final outcome of an individual’s performance also depends on what happened in the womb and the calf ’s environment. Those actions can also affect future generations.

Cudlobe Angus at Claresholm, Alta., has included genomic information in its bull sale catalogue for

three years.

Genomically enhanced EPDs are offered on 120 sale bulls and rank qualities such as birth weight, weaning weight, beef tenderness, rib eye size, carcass weight and marbling potential. They also include data on residual feed intake.

More bull buyers have come to understand what the information means since the family started to offer it, said David Buldoc, who owns the operation with his family. He is also chair of the Canadian Beef Breeds Council, an umbrella group

that represents purebred associations, most of which are starting to collect more genomic information.

He said there are shortcomings with some of the information, but more of the variation that occurs can be explained as the science develops.

He predicted an explosion of producers who will adopt it once they see the benefits.

“I think we have to accumulate enough early adopters, and the other people will realize if they want to keep pace, they have to join in and use the technology or they will be left behind.”

BEEF PRODUCTION | CATTLE FEED SUPPLEMENTS

Can cattle growth efficiencies be pushed too far?

The tradeoff between beef production and animal welfare has put Zilmax in the hot seat

P

Keith Belk says he saw photos of cattle whose feet were “basically coming apart.” | REUTERS PHOTO

ASCO, Wash. (Reuters) — The U.S. beef industry’s dependence on the muscle-building drug Zilmax began unravelling here, on a sweltering summer day, in the dusty cattle pens outside a Tyson Foods slaughterhouse in south-eastern Washington state.

Fifteen heifers and steers hobbled down the ramps Aug. 5, barely able to walk, as cattle trailers that had travelled up to four hours in 35 C heat began to unload. The reason: the animals had lost their hoofs, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture documents. The documents show the 15 animals were destroyed.

The next day, the hottest day of the month, two more animals with missing hoofs arrived by truck.

Again, the animals were destroyed,

Beef cattle fed growth promotants in their feed gain weight faster and can improve feedlot profit margins.

However, concerns are being raised about the side effects. | FILE PHOTO the documents show.

The animals’ feet were “basically coming apart,” said Keith Belk, a professor of animal science at Colorado State University.

Belk said he reviewed photos of the lame cattle, though he declined to say who showed them to him.

The 17 animals had a factor in common, according to an examination of U.S. government documents and interviews with people who had direct knowledge of the events.

In the weeks before the cattle were shipped to Tyson’s slaughterhouse near Pasco, all had been fed Merck & Co.’s profit-enhancing animal feed additive, Zilmax.

The day after the hoofless animals were euthanized Aug. 6, Tyson told its feedlot customers it would stop accepting Zilmax-fed cattle.

Merck itself temporarily suspended sales of the drug in the United States and Canada after Reuters reported the existence of a videotape of apparently lame Zilmax-fed animals, which an official of meat packing giant JBS USA LLC showed at a trade meeting in Colorado. The rest of the nation’s leading meat packers soon followed Tyson, the largest U.S. meat processor.

Merck released a statement that stressed the safety of its product, saying the company investigates all reports of adverse reactions to its drugs and had done so after the deaths near Pasco.

“Several third party experts were brought in to evaluate the situation, review the data and identify potential causes for the hoof issue,” Merck’s statement said.

“The findings from the investigation showed that the hoof loss was not due to the fact these animals had received Zilmax.”

Merck declined to identify the names of the third party investigators or provide more detail on research findings.

After temporarily halting Zilmax sales, Merck continues to state that Zilmax is safe when used as directed, with no welfare concerns discovered in 30 research studies since the product was introduced in the United States in 2007.

In addition, Merck said it is planning more field evaluations of Zilmax, using “a well-designed collection and analysis of data by third party industry experts.” A prominent epidemiologist and veterinarian will oversee the work, it added.

Maybe we found the point where we pushed the cattle just so hard in the sake of making a buck that we exceeded the biological limits of the cattle.

1,300 lb. steer and has helped some feedlots stay in business at a time of punishing industry consolidation.

Livestock nutritionists, veterinarians and cattle researchers told Reuters that cattle losing hoofs would be in great pain.

Animals that have lost their hoofs may take tentative steps, as if walking on glass, they said. Even when prodded, they sometimes refuse to rise back to their feet.

Livestock researcher Temple Grandin, who has pioneered humane slaughterhouse practices as a consultant to major beef processors, said it would be like a person having their toe nails yanked off.

“It would hurt a whole lot,” said Grandin, who said she has not witnessed any of the incidents of Zilmax-fed cattle with lost hoofs.

USDA regulations require that downer cattle be destroyed and their meat prevented from reaching

consumers. U.S. federal law requires Merck to report all animal deaths, as well as any other adverse reactions, in connection with use of its products.

A review of reports submitted by Merck and others to the FDA shows at least 285 cattle have died unexpectedly or been destroyed in the U.S. after being fed Zilmax since the drug was introduced in 2007.

The FDA reports identify the ailments that led to the unexpected deaths but do not consistently state whether the animals expired on their own or were euthanized.

According to the reports, which Reuters reviewed through a Freedom of Information Act request, at least 75 animals lost hoofs and were euthanized after being fed Zilmax over the past two years.

The reports show pneumonia was a factor in the death of 94 Zilmax-fed cattle, while bloat was

THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | JANUARY 9, 2014

listed as a cause in 41 cases of cattle fed Zilmax. Of the 285 animals that died, 113 were fed either an animalbased antibiotic or another medication to boost weight, or both, in conjunction with Zilmax.

Some veterinarians and animal experts say there is no proof Zilmax was the chief cause of any cattle deaths.

“My assessment is that I do not see data supporting the concerns today, at least the data that I have reviewed and been aware of,” said University of Nebraska-Lincoln animal science professor Galen Erickson, in response to questions from Reuters about Zilmax’s safety.

However, previously staunch supporters of Merck’s innovative growth drug are beginning to question the product’s safety record.

“Maybe we found the point where we pushed the cattle just so hard in the sake of making a buck that we

exceeded the biological limits of the cattle,” said Abe Turgeon, a prominent livestock nutritionist, who had previously recommended Zilmax to customers.

Merck Animal Health, which markets the additive, said proper use of Zilmax “does not affect the safety or well-being of cattle.”

Moving beyond the 30 studies it cited at the time it suspended Zilmax sales, Merck launched an audit in August of how the product was being used in the field, created an advisory board to review management practices in the feedlot and animal nutrition industries and provided new funds for field research on Zilmax-fed cattle.

The company has said it plans to reintroduce Zilmax but noted it is too soon to know when sales to U.S. and Canadian customers may resume.

ABE TURGEON LIVESTOCK NUTRITIONIST

Tyson Foods spokesperson Gary Mickelson said his company doesn’t know exactly what happened to the small group of cattle that were destroyed at the plant near Pasco.

Some animal health experts have told the company that the use of Zilmax is a possible cause, he said.

Mickelson said Tyson had seen cattle mobility issues in the past, but “the issues at Pasco this summer were more severe” than the company had previously seen.

Scientists say they have yet to determine whether Zilmax causes ailments so severe that cattle must be euthanized.

One theory is that the federally approved feed additive may compound the effects of common feedlot nutritional disorders such as acidosis, which can affect animals that eat too much starch (primarily grain) or sugar in a short period of time. Heat and animal genetics may also be factors.

Regardless, the episode at the Tyson plant, which hasn’t been publicly disclosed until now, is coming to light at a time of growing concern over risks to animal and human health posed by the increased use of pharmaceuticals in food production. Livestock pharmaceutical use is expanding as part of a push to produce more meat at lower cost.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration rolled out new policies late last year to phase out the use of antibiotics that make cows, pigs and chickens plumper. The FDA said it made the move in an effort to combat antibiotic-resistant bacteria that threatens human health.

However, the FDA has said meat produced from cattle fed with Zilmax is safe for human consumption.

The cases of hoofless cattle also raise ethical questions about whether the drive by modern agriculture to produce greater volumes of food, as cheaply as possible, is coming at the cost of animal welfare.

Most of the more than 30 million beef cattle slaughtered in the U.S. annually move smoothly through a mechanized system that is among the most efficient in the world.

Reports that Zilmax causes lameness in some animals have raised concerns about the tradeoffs associated with a drug that adds up to 33 pounds of marketable meat to a

Merck has begun approaching cattle nutritionists, livestock academics and other professionals who influence opinion in an effort to gain industry insight and win support for the return of the drug, according to several people who have met with the company.

The FDA, which regulates livestock feed additives sold in the U.S., is charged with intervening when a pharmaceutical product it has approved causes harm when used as directed.

The agency said it has taken no action related to Zilmax.

When asked for comment about the adverse-event reports filed by Merck, an FDA spokesperson said in a statement that the agency “has not reached any conclusions on the safety of Zilmax, but the agency is continuing to receive and evaluate

1975 BEEF PRODUCTION:

data. As part of this process, the agency is always interested in new information.”

Merck’s suspension of Zilmax sales is voluntary, and at this point the company could return Zilmax to the market without seeking permission from the FDA. The medicated feed supplement for beef cattle belongs to a class of drugs known as beta-agonists, which are also used in humans to ease asthma symptoms.

Zilmax, with its active ingredient zilpaterol hydrochloride, is a federally approved weight-gaining supplement. It is added to cattle feed in the weeks before slaughter to add extra pounds of profit-producing meat.

Zilmax was worth nearly $160 million in annual sales in the U.S. and Canada last year, and was a steady cash generator for Merck’s animal health business, which has $3.3 bil-

26 BILLION LB. FROM 91 MILLION CATTLE lion in annual global sales.

The additive served as a go-to solution for a troubled cattle industry as one-fifth of U.S. feedlots went out of business over the last decade. With cattle herds in sharp decline, Zilmax worked with improved animal genetics and feed to produce more meat with fewer animals.

The U.S. produced nearly 26 billion lb. of beef from a herd of 91 million cattle in 2012, according to USDA data. In 1975, when the nation’s cattle herd hit a peak of 135 million head, the industry produced nearly

24 billion lb. of beef.

Beef cattle walking into a U.S. packing plant late last year weighed a record 1,346 lb. on average, up more than 20 percent in the last two decades.

Zilmax quickly developed a loyal customer base. Its popularity spread even to the show circuit, where ranchers’ children can win prizes of more than $100,000 for raising big-girth bovines.

Tyson and Cargill Inc. have told Reuters they will not accept Zilmaxfed cattle until Merck can provide a scientific vetting of Zilmax’s safety to

animals and the companies are confident animal welfare issues are resolved.

Cargill has said it didn’t see the cattle lameness problems cited by JBS and Tyson.

Cargill and Tyson have also cited concerns about China and other nations that have barred imports of meat produced from Zilmax-fed cattle. They fear their export businesses could be hurt if such meat is accidentally sent to these countries.

FDA records based on 59 adverse event reports filed since 2008 by Merck and Intervet Inc, which developed Zilmax before Merck acquired the firm in 2009, chronicle incidents of Zilmax-fed cattle experiencing stomach ulcers, brain lesions and blindness.

Merck has also reported incidents of Zilmax-fed animals showing signs of lethargy, bloody noses, respiratory problems and heart failure.

In September 2011, an unidentified veterinarian at an Oregon feedlot reported “unusual hoof loss in cattle being fed Zilmax,” according to an adverse event report reviewed

by Reuters.

This past August, Merck reported an additional five episodes involving 66 cattle in Oregon and Idaho that lost their hoofs after a Zilmax feeding regimen.

In some cases, a consulting veterinarian also cited high ambient temperature and a concrete and rebar floor that may have exacerbated the hoof damage.

Also in August, one Nebraska cattle producer, who is not named in the FDA documents, reported he had more dead cattle when he used Zilmax than when he didn’t, according to the documents.

A Reuters review of data kept by the USDA show that euthanizations of cattle have risen substantially since Zilmax came on the market.

The number of beef steers and heifers euthanized before slaughter at U.S. packing plants rose nearly 175 percent from previous levels in the two years after Zilmax was introduced. The number of euthanized steers and heifers has ranged between 1,600 and 2,300 head each year since then.

The new plateau is well above the average of 670 a year in the four years before Zilmax came on the market in 2007.

However, the government data does not draw a link between Zilmax or any other possible factors and the increase in euthanized cattle at meat packing plants.

The number of euthanized cattle and other reports of cattle deaths is also quite small relative to the more than 30 million cattle slaughtered each year in the U.S. It is small enough that it likely hasn’t raised significant red flags with the FDA, said David Acheson, the agency’s former associate commissioner for food.

“I suspect that that’s not going to trigger them to do much,” Acheson said.

Tyson’s plant near Pasco is an integrated modern-day packing operation, stretching the length of several football fields.

Five days a week, more than 1,300 workers arrive and walk past security guards toward a mechanical rumble emanating from the plant’s gunmetal gray walls.

Tyson acquired the operation, one of its smaller plants, in 2001. It processes 2,000 cattle a day, according to workers and local residents. Tyson would not comment on the number.

JOHN WILSON BEEF NORTHWEST

Washington state is known for its soaring mountains and chilly rain, but the eastern flatlands around Pasco more closely resemble the Southwest’s desert, and sometimes share its soaring summer temperatures.

To guard against the heat, Tyson has provided cover or shade for some holding pens at the plant.

Overhead sprinkler systems also help cool the cattle.

However, 2013 saw one of the hottest summers in 25 years, with at least three heat waves in which temperatures in the area topped 37 C, according to the National Climatic Data Center. Temperatures were spiking on many of the dates when a total of 37 cattle were euthanized this summer due to lameness associated with Zilmax.

According to USDA documents and people knowledgeable about the events, some of the animals were shipped from Beef Northwest of North Powder, Oregon.

On Aug. 5, the USDA inspector who condemned the 17 cattle that were euthanized at the Tyson plant noted that 15 of them had “lost toes.”

Two were destroyed for other reasons.

The inspector identified at least

one of the animals in the group that was put down as a heifer originating from Nyssa, Oregon.

Beef Northwest operates a feedlot in Nyssa. Animals making the trip to Pasco would have stood in a trailer for four hours on a 35 C day as it travelled to Pasco.

John Wilson, managing partner of Beef Northwest, confirmed that his company was using a Zilmax feed regimen this summer.

About 40 of Beef Northwest’s animals “developed lameness after arriving at a packing plant in two incidents in July and August of this year,” he said.

Wilson declined to identify the slaughterhouse and would not confirm the animals were destroyed.

Wilson said Beef Northwest had never faced lameness problems with its Zilmax-fed animals before this summer.

He also said the company strictly followed Merck’s dosage and other instructions while dispensing Zilmax.Beef Northwest said it frequently conducted internal and third party audits to ensure employees were not over-feeding Zilmax to the animals.

“In our cases, dosages were not an issue, never an issue,” Wilson said.

“I’d like to think that we were on the upper edge of the industry as far as heavy oversight of all of our protocols.”

Zilmax seemed like an attractive solution as feed grain prices soared in recent years. Some feedlot owners nicknamed it Vitamin Z. “We couldn’t find feed cheap enough to make any money” on raising cattle, said Turgeon, the cattle nutritionist who works with

Many clients had adopted another beta-agonist, Optaflexx, made by Eli Lilly and Co.’s Elanco Animal Health unit. Elanco is Merck’s biggest rival in the animal health business.

The two products use different active ingredients: Optaflexx is based on ractopamine, while Zilmax uses zilpaterol.

However, Zilmax added more weight to cattle than Optaflexx did, say industry nutritionists and feedlot owners. The perceived advantage helped Zilmax gain market share and sales faster than Optaflexx

in recent years, say industry experts.

Turgeon had heard from his customers about lameness problems associated with Zilmax, and a colleague this summer showed him photos of animals with hoofs peeling off, he said.

Reuters has not seen photos of cattle with missing hoofs.

Merck is now trying to win the industry back. Three hundred cattle veterinarians sparred over Zilmax at a closed door session of an Academy of Veterinary Consultants conference in Denver Dec. 5.

They broke into informal camps

of “believers” who think Zilmax hurts cattle and “disbelievers” who discount its negative effects, according to academy president Larry Moczygemba.

He said veterinarians debated the effects of Zilmax and other betaagonist drugs without reaching a conclusion.

Merck employees stayed in the room, mostly remaining silent.

“Few, if any, think this is just a beta-agonist problem all on its own,” Moczygemba said.

“But our role as vets puts animal well being first.”

CLONING | LABELLING ISSUES

EU renews bid to ban food from cloned animals Critics say tracing food from clones or offspring would be difficult

The European Union continues to wrestle with the issue of food produced by cloned animals, including milk. | FILE PHOTO

BRUSSELS, Belgium (Reuters) — The European Commission recently proposed a ban on food and products from cloned animals, two years after failing to block their use.

European Union governments and lawmakers rejected the first move in 2011 because of a dispute over labelling.

If approved, the latest draft rules would ban the use of cloning in com-

mercial farming within the EU for five years and prohibit the sale and import of food such as meat or milk from cloned animals.

It would be illegal to import cloned animals from countries where the technique is used commercially, such as the United States and Brazil, but the import and sale of food from the offspring of clones would be allowed.

The EU executive said the distinction was justified because the welfare concerns surrounding animal cloning, which has a success rate of less than 20 percent and often results in birth defects or miscarriage, do not apply to their conventionally bred offspring.

“Today’s proposals seek to ensure that no cloning for farming purposes will be carried out in the European Union, and no such clone will be imported as long as these animal welfare concerns persist,” said EU health commissioner Tonio Borg.

However, the draft rules could run into opposition from lawmakers in the European Parliament, which previously said it would accept the sale of food from the young of clones only if all such products were clearly labelled.

Opponents of the idea say it would require regulators to draw up a family tree for every slice of cheese or salami sold in Europe, and the commission said it needed more time to analyze whether such a labelling scheme was feasible.

However, consumer groups said more than 80 percent of Europeans were opposed to eating food from clones and their offspring and accused the commission of putting trade relations ahead of the wishes of citizens.

“Without effective labelling, European consumers have no knowledge of what their Argentinian steak or American beef is made of as traceability systems for cloned food do not exist in these countries,” said European consumer body BEUC. Food issues are likely to be among the major hurdles in reaching a milestone trade pact between the EU and the United States, negotiations over which have just kicked off.

Animal cloning uses DNA transfer to create an exact genetic copy of an animal. The first mammal to be successfully cloned using a method known as adult nuclear transfer was a sheep named Dolly, created in 1996 by scientists in Britain.

The technique is complex and costly, ensuring that cloned animals themselves are unlikely to be used as food. However, they can be bred traditionally to produce offspring that share similar traits, such as high milk production or rapid growth.

Regulators in the U.S. and Europe have concluded that meat and milk from the offspring of animal clones are as safe as from conventionally bred livestock.

The U.S. is one of the most advanced countries in terms of commercial animal cloning. It currently has a voluntary moratorium on the sale of food from cloned animals, but not their offspring.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has said only “a few hundred” cloned cattle are in the U.S., but other estimates provided by companies suggest there could be several thousand.

While cloning is not widespread in Europe, there have been reports of milk from the offspring of cloned cows being sold in Britain.

SUGAR SUBSTITUTES | BEVERAGES

Asian fruit tempts troubled soft drink industry Monk fruit | Melon’s fruity taste masks bitterness of artificial sweeteners NEW YORK, N.Y. (Reuters) — An obscure melon once cultivated by Buddhist monks in China to sweeten tea could give the diet soda industry a shot at winning back consumers concerned about artificial ingredients.

Consumers won’t find monk fruit in any of the soft drinks at their local convenience store because shaky supplies and limited demand have kept the expensive melon on the sidelines of the sweetener industry.

However, experts think the fuzzy green fruit, which ripens to the size of an apple, could be the ingredient soda makers have sought for decades: a natural product with great taste and no calories. “(When) someone figures this out and gets a taste that is low-calorie and natural, it could really be a silver bullet that catapults that company ahead,” said Ali Dibadj, an analyst at Bernstein who follows the soft drink industry.

Soft drink makers are increasingly desperate for just such a miracle ingredient. Once a booming sector, diet soda has become a laggard. U.S. consumption fell about seven percent this year and could shrink by 20 percent through 2020, according to Nielsen data.

Consumers, increasingly wary of the health risks of artificial sweeteners, are ditching diet sodas for juices, teas and naturally sweetened lemonades, according to a recent Wells Fargo analysis.

“We believe we are seeing a fundamental shift in consumption behavior as diet drinkers leave the category altogether,” said Bonnie Herzog, an analyst at Wells Fargo Securities.

Beverage companies have struggled to hold onto customers amid fears about the safety of Food and Drug Administration-approved aspartame, which has sweetened diet soda for 30 years.

The aspertame debate continues to rage on the internet, even though the American Beverage Association says the artificial sweetener is safe for consumption.

Stevia, a low-calorie sweetener made from the leaves of a Paraguayan plant, was heralded as an ideal natural sweetener five years ago but has had limited success in the marketplace.

Coca-Cola Co. uses stevia in 45 products in 15 countries, including in Coke Life, a low-calorie alternative available in Chile and Argentina.

PepsiCo uses stevia in Pepsi Next, a low-calorie drink it sells in Australia and France. However, customers have complained that stevia’s bitter aftertaste alters the sodas’ flavours.

Some beverage manufacturers are now pinning their hopes on monk fruit, which is already used in protein shakes, snack bars and brownies.

Zevia, a premium-brand company in Culver City, California, recently introduced a new recipe for its nocalorie sodas sweetened with a blend of monk fruit and stevia. The company’s drinks, which sell in 12-ounce cans for about $1 each, were previously sweetened exclusively with stevia, which gave it a bitter kick.

“We feel like we’ve really cracked the code,” said Paddy Spence, chief executive officer of Zevia, which sells its naturally sweetened no-calorie

Using the two side by side, we were able to get a higher level of sweetness without the bitterness.

PADDY SPENCE ZEVIA

soft drinks at 16,000 high-end grocery stores in the United States.

“Using the two side by side, we were able to get a higher level of sweetness without the bitterness,” said Spence.

Zevia, which was founded six years ago, has seen its sales quadruple in the past three years to $60 million this year.

“If you do detect any kind of taste, it is a fruity taste, which goes well with soda,” said Linda Gilbert, CEO of EcoFocus Worldwide, a consumer research company focusing on green and sustainable trends.

Analysts say the company could be onto something because monk fruit neutralizes stevia’s bitter notes.

Coca-Cola, which uses monk fruit in its Core Power protein drink, said it is exploring ingredient options but would not confirm monk fruit is among them.

PepsiCo spokesperson Aurora Gonzalez said the company is not considering monk fruit.

The fruit has been consumed for centuries in southern China, especially by the Cantonese, but in recent years it has become popular across the country, where it is used to flavour soups and tea and as a remedy for sore throats.

One gram of the fruit extract replaces eight teaspoons of sugar, allowing consumers to significantly reduce their calorie intake, said Laura Jones, a global food science analyst at Mintel, a food and drink research firm.

Procter & Gamble Co. patented monk fruit sugar extraction as a potential substitute for sugar in 1995, but it wasn’t until BioVittoria of New Z e a l a n d s h e p h e rd e d t h e f r u i t through the FDA approval process that it became available for mass consumption.

The FDA approved monk fruit for consumption in 2010, and the fruit has no reported adverse side effects.

Monk fruit presents a number of challenges for beverage makers. It is twice as expensive as stevia and is grown only in some regions of China.

As well, European regulators have not yet approved it for consumption.

Extracting sugar from monk fruit is a long and arduous process that further increases costs.

Meanwhile, BioVittoria says Chinese law prevents monk fruit seeds and genetic material from leaving the country, which confines production to China.

At BioVittoria, the fruit’s top exporter, monk fruit is bred for maximum sweetness and is hand-pollinated.

The company mechanically extracts its sugar content.

Chobani recently launched a line of its popular Greek yogurt that is sweetened by monk fruit, and this year 91 public schools in Omaha replaced sugar in its flavoured milk with monk fruit extract.

Supplies have also steadied since BioVittoria began producing monk fruit extract. The company has deals with local farmers to produce 60 percent of China’s yield of 400 million monk fruits, distributed exclusively by global sugar and sweetener giant Tate and Lyle.

Ultimately, big soda companies may have to swallow higher prices to hold on to diet soda drinkers.

“The consumer is voting with their taste buds and concern for wellness.

Investors realize that they have to shift their ingredient base not to be artificial, and it is a tough combination to get right,” said Dibadj.

A VANISHING SPECIES. Small towns are changed forever with the disappearance of wooden elevators.

Now, people are working to preserve the ones that are still standing. | BY ROBERT ARNASON, BRANDON BUREAU

CHANGING LANDSCAPES

At the heart of each prairie town was the grain elevator

T PHOTOGRAPH | JUNE 5, 1980

This old elevator at Elstow, Sask., built in 1924 and closed in 1973, cracked and bent but would not go down, much to the contractor’s dismay. Three tow trucks, two of them just outside the picture on the left, huffed and puffed but couldn’t topple the stubborn elevator, despite the help of a fairly brisk wind. The contractor tried to pull down the old structure four times, then he gave up in disgust. He said he will probably try a few sticks of dynamite next, “and if that doesn’t work we’ll set a match to it.” He added that this is the last time he’s going to take on such a job. | LARRY KUSCH PHOTO

CONTROLLING THE GRAIN OCTOPUS

BY ADRIAN EWINS

In October, 1979, former Transport Minister Don Mazankowski announced the appointment of Dr. Hugh Horner, deputy premier and minister of economic development in Alberta, as grain transportation coordinator.

At that time, Mazankowski said the objectives of the new Grain Transportation Authority were to achieve a 20 percent increase in grain exports in 1979-80 and to help exports reach 30 million tonnes by 1985.

here are people who have a favourite camping spot and folks who have a favourite café for cinnamon buns.

And then there is Jim Pearson, who has a favourite grain elevator.

Pearson, who lives in Delia, Alta., said the elevator in Fusilier, Sask., near the Alberta-Saskatchewan border on Highway 51 is particularly endearing.

“It’s in the middle of nowhere … about 15 miles west of Major (Sask.),” he said.

“It’s a great elevator and it’s so absolutely naked. It’s just sitting there by itself. It’s this really cool sentinel to see when you’re coming into Saskatchewan.”

As documented in numerous books and economic studies, the abandonment of branch railway lines and the demolition of hundreds of wooden elevators has had an immeasurable impact on small prairie communities over the last three decades.

Dozens, if not hundreds, of small towns were never the same following the loss of the local elevator.

Many fragile communities simply vanished when the elevator and rail-

way line disappeared.

In the wake of the wrecking balls, prairie residents have responded with efforts to preserve remaining wooden elevators.

Others, like Pearson, have dedicated thousands of hours to chronicle their iconic place on the prairie landscape.

Pearson, runs a website called Vanishing Sentinels and has published three books on the remaining grain elevators of three regions of Western Canada: Alberta-British Columbia, western Saskatchewan and eastern Saskatchewan.

He can cite grain elevator statistics on demand.

“As of Sept. 29 (2013) … Alberta has 257 wooden elevators, 42 concrete and 12 steel. Saskatchewan has 462 wooden elevators, 77 concrete and 51 steel.”

Pearson, a graphic artist, grew up on a farm near Delia until his parents moved into town in the late 1970s. He moved to Calgary around 1980.

He returned to Delia in the 1990s and began to notice that elevators were disappearing across Alberta, but no one seemed to care.

In the early 2000s, the Alberta

NEWS Wheat Pool elevator in Delia burned to the ground and the United Grain Growers elevator was demolished.

Pearson and his father drove down to watch the UGG demolition and recover old wood for picture frames.

He has never forgotten that day.

“They were taking a backhoe to it and just ripping the crap out of it.

That really ticked me off and that really got this project started.”

Pearson estimates he has driven 60,000 kilometres over the last 12 years to photograph, map and record the history of elevators in B.C., Alberta and Saskatchewan.

Besides publishing books, Pearson has also established a small enterprise around his fascination with elevators.

He produces elevator calendars and postcards and has a line of miniature grain elevators made from card stock, which are replicas of UGG, Alberta Wheat Pool, Pioneer, P&H, Paterson and National elevators.

As well, because of his endless hours behind the wheel, Pearson is one of few people who can legitimately claim they’ve been in every corner of Saskatchewan.

“A lot of Star Trek fans always call Saskatchewan the undiscovered province…. I can honestly say now it’s not undiscovered because I’ve been to every single place, except south of Saskatoon, a little place called Ardath,” he said.

“There was an elevator there that was literally hit by a train. Somebody forgot to turn the switch to the mainline from the siding and the train came through there and literally demolished the elevator.”

At some point during his journeys, Pearson realized that elevators were much more than buildings that stored grain.

“They were the social centres for the town … especially in the early days when nobody had phones,” he said.

“You could always go in there and have a cup of coffee with the agent and find out who got hit by that hailstorm last night.”

Ernie Neubauer, who manages the Inglis Grain Elevators National Historic Site in Inglis, Man., one of the only remaining elevator rows in Western Canada, described grain elevators’ social function in a more colourful way.

“There was always a hotel right across from the elevator, usually. And a lot of guys would (joke) that there was more whiskey drank in the elevator office than in the hotel,” said Neubauer, who lives in Russell, Man., and worked as a grain buyer for the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool in Evesham, Sask., in the early 1970s.

Pearson isn’t alone in his fascination with prairie elevators. About two dozen people from Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, who selfidentify as “vatorologists,” spend a substantial amount of time, energy and money each year photographing and documenting western Canadian elevators.

“There are 10 to 15 that are super serious,” said Matt Tolton of Carberry, Man. “Then there’s another 10 to 15 that it’s (a hobby).”

Tolton, who is studying agribusiness at Assiniboine Community College in Brandon, falls into the super serious category. He has witnessed five elevator demolitions and visited 99 percent of the elevators in Manitoba.

“I’ve been to almost every one that is remaining standing,” said Tolton, who has a website displaying his elevator photos, including pictures from obscure towns like Oberon and

Mentmore in Manitoba.

“With the exception of a few south of Winnipeg, I’ve seen pretty much every one in the province at least once.”

Tolton said his passion probably began when he was a child in the 1990s.

“I went with my dad to the Cargill elevator that used to be in Sidney, Man., to pick up feed for our pigs. I remember being little and waiting in the truck and just being fascinated.”

Tolton said it’s important to chronicle the existence of elevators because many more will be destroyed in future years.

“Like everything else, once they’re gone they’re gone,” he said.

“They were such important fixtures of the prairie economy. A lot of small towns died once they were gone.”

Last year Pearson was diagnosed

was leukemia, which is now under control. Despite the serious illness, Pearson travelled to northeastern Saskatchewan this summer to complete his book on the elevators of eastern Saskatchewan.

With Alberta and Saskatchewan now done, Pearson’s next project is the remaining elevators in Manitoba.

He plans to partner with Tolton on that effort because the 13-hour drive from Delia to southern Manitoba is too onerous.

Nonetheless, Pearson is determined to record every elevator on the Prairies. After visiting hundreds of small towns, he learned that residents diligently document the history of local schools and churches but often neglect their grain elevators.

“What brought everybody (to small towns) in the first place?” he asked.

“It was usually the grain elevators.”

RESEARCH | HOG VIRUS

PED VIRUS | PREVENTION

Disinfectant ineffective on pig virus: study Highly transmissible | The PED virus is spreading across the U.S., causing diarrhea, vomiting and death (Reuters) — A disinfectant used in the U.S. livestock industry has so far proven ineffective in preventing the spread of the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus, a study funded by the pork industry has found.

“Our research unfortunately says that Stalosan F, given the conditions in which we tested it, was not effective in killing the PED virus,” said Tom Sundberg, vice-president of science and technology at the National Pork Board.

The hog industry continues to fund research to find ways to curb the spread of the virus. The number of confirmed PEDv cases totalled 1,764

across 20 states in the middle of last month, according to data from the USDA’s National Animal Health Laboratory Network. Each case could represent hundreds to thousands of hogs.

The pork board funded the study at Iowa State University’s Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory to determine if the Stalosan F disinfectant could kill the PEDv in commercial hog trailers when used alone.

Vitfoss, the Danish agricultural supplement producer which makes Stalosan F, cautioned that disinfectants alone are not enough to kill viruses when fecal matter is present.

“It is my understanding that in order for biosecurity to be efficient, transport trailers are (to be) cleaned, washed and disinfected between each destination and that this is done at secure and clean wash bays away from any livestock or slaughter facilities,” said Stalosan spokesperson Lars O. Madsen.

Sundberg said the industry needs alternatives.

“We are moving thousands of pigs each day in the industry and the time it would take to do that to every trailer makes that an impossible thing to do in order to stem the risk of PEDv.” He said Stalosan F disinfectant was

shown in Canadian research to be effective on different surfaces in killing porcine reproductive and respiratory virus.

The highly transmissible PED virus was seen for the first time in the United States in April. It can be transmitted through contaminated pig feces on pigs, trucks, boots and clothing.

PED causes diarrhea, vomiting and dehydration in hogs and can kill pigs, particularly baby pigs whose immune system can be weak. PED is not harmful to humans nor is it transmissible through pork. It has occurred in Europe and Asia, but this is the first year that it has been seen in the U.S.

Vaccine to curb spread of pig virus Used on affected herds | It is still too early to determine effectiveness of the vaccine (Reuters) — An Iowa animal pharmaceutical company has shipped 770,000 doses of a new vaccine that treats a deadly swine virus first detected in U.S. herds this year.

Harrisvaccines of Ames, Iowa, developed the iPED vaccine in August to fight porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PED). It is one of the first U.S. companies to develop a vaccine to fight the disease.

“As soon as we heard of the confirmed cases we started developing the vaccine,” said Joel Harris, Harrisvaccines’ head of sales and marketing.

“The vaccine has been used in multiple states, including Iowa and North Carolina, but it is too early to know how effective the vaccine is.”

The virus, which has spread to 20 states, is not harmful to humans but causes diarrhea, vomiting and dehydration in hogs and can result in death, particularly in piglets whose weak immune systems are less able to fight off the virus.

“The vaccine is predominately being used in herds that are already affected. They have either already been exposed to the virus or it is used when bringing in animals where the virus is already present,” Harris said.

The company said it is working with the U.S. Department of Agriculture to obtain a conditional licence to more widely market and sell the vaccine.

The vaccine is available only through a veterinarian prescription basis, Harris said.

The USDA can grant a company a conditional license for animal vaccines in special circumstances, including emergency situations or for a limited market distribution, said Lyndsay Cole, spokesperson for the department’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service.

“The hope is to have this conditional USDA approval as soon as possible and then it would be able to be more widely distributed. We are looking to get approved by early to mid 2014,” Harris said.

Vaccines have been used to fight PED in Asia and Europe, but those vaccines are not approved for use in the U.S. because of concerns over their effectiveness, animal health officials said.

The National Pork Board has issued strict biosecurity guidelines to hog producers, live animal transporters, and manure handlers to inhibit the spread and transmission of the virus.

“Vaccines are a tool and it won’t override general biosecurity practices. Biosecurity is still key,” said David Schmitt, state veterinarian in Iowa.

SHANGHAI (Reuters) — Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the world’s largest retailer, has recalled donkey meat sold at some outlets in China after tests showed the product contained the DNA of other animals.

Walmart will reimburse customers who bought the tainted Five Spice donkey meat and is helping local food and industry agencies in eastern Shandong province investigate its Chinese supplier, it said last week in official posts on China’s Twitterlike Weibo. The Shandong Food and Drug Administration earlier said the product contained fox meat.

The scandal could dent Walmart’s reputation for quality in China’s $1 trillion food and grocery market, where it plans to open 110 new stores in the next few years. China is the largest grocery market in the world and is set to grow to $1.5 trillion by 2016, according to the Institute of Grocery Distribution.

“This is another hit on Walmart’s brand, meaning wealthy shoppers will start to lose the trust they had before,” said Shaun Rein, Shanghaibased managing director of China Market Research Group.

CMR estimates Walmart’s market share fell from 7.5 percent to 5.2 percent over the last three years.

Donkey meat is a popular snack in some areas of China, although it only accounts for a tiny fraction of overall meat consumption. China slaughtered 2.4 million donkeys in 2011, according to the country’s livestock industry yearbook.

Walmart, French grocer Carrefour SA, McDonald’s Corp. and KFC-parent Yum Brands Inc. have previously come under fire in China over food safety issues, a sensitive topic in a country riddled with scares from a fatal tainted milk scandal to recycled “gutter oil” used for cooking.

Walmart said it had set up an investigation team to look into the incident, would strengthen food safety rules and take legal action against the product supplier. The person in charge at the supplier factory had already been detained, it added.

“We are deeply sorry for this whole affair,” said Greg Foran, Walmart’s China president and chief executive officer.

Walmart has had a troubled past in China.

In 2011, China fined the U.S. retailer, along with Carrefour, a combined $1.57 million for manipulating product prices. Walmart was also fined that year in China for selling duck meat past its expiry date.

Food safety scandals can have a significant impact in China. Yum has struggled to recover sales in China more than a year after a chicken supplier to KFC was found to have used excess levels of antibiotics.

However, analysts said the impact of the current scare would be far more subdued.

IOWA FARMLAND | LAND VALUE SURVEY

Iowa land prices hit new record in 2013, but markets softening Crop prices dip | The boom is driven by biofuel demand and rising food exports CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — Farmland prices in Iowa have set a new record for the fourth year in a row.

However, an Iowa State University researcher said most land brokers and other industry specialists expect weakness ahead because of falling crop prices.

The average Iowa farmland value this year was estimated to be $8,716 per acre, an increase of 5.1 percent from last year, according to results of

the Iowa Land Value Survey conducted in November.

“The land value survey shows a market in flux, fluctuating between strong sales and poor sales,” said Michael Duffy, the Iowa State farm economist who conducts the annual survey “It’s a question of whether the market is at a plateau, a peak and due for a correction, or catching its breath before it starts taking off again.”

Iowa, the country’s top corn and soybean producing state and a major hog and cattle producer, is a bellwether for the U.S. farm economy, which has seen an historic boom in the last five years driven by biofuel demand and food exports.

The Iowa survey is based on reports by licensed real estate brokers and selected individuals considered knowledgeable of land market conditions. This year’s survey is based on

land situation might be “a plateau.”

Scott County, with an estimated $12,413 per acre average value for all farmland, saw the highest average county values in the Iowa State survey.

The county, located in east-central Iowa, also had the highest percentage increase and highest increase in value of any county: 12.45 percent and $1,374, respectively.

The Northwest District reported the highest land values at $10,960 per acre, but that was a decrease of $445, or 3.9 percent, from last year.

O’Brien County showed the highest dollar decrease this year of $478.

Osceola, Dickinson and Lyon counties along with O’Brien County all shared the greatest percentage decrease at 3.72 percent.

The results were in line with a recent quarterly survey of Midwest farmland by the Chicago Federal Reserve Bank, which reported steady to weaker land prices in the third quarter for the first time in years as crop prices fell on the outlook for a record grain harvest.

“The results of our survey — up five percent — occurred primarily in the first six months of the year,” Duffy said.

“Since then, as corn prices dropped land values have either stabilized or dropped a little.”

Duffy said many competing forces will influence prices over the coming years, but for now it appears there are more factors that will lead to lower prices.

He said farmland values are highly correlated with gross farm income, and most survey respondents were concerned about income.

Seventy-six percent of respondents cited lower commodity prices as a negative factor affecting land markets.

Data show the rate of increase in land values slowed and commodity prices started dropping after June, Duffy said.

Farm income is a strong indicator for the direction land values will go, but interest rates remain low and the volume of farmland for sale is down from a year ago.

Duffy said the percentage of respondents who reported fewer sales in 2013 than in 2012 was the highest it’s been since 1985.

Duffy said the Iowa average corn price dropped 33 percent from October 2012 to October 2013, while soybean prices dropped 11 percent.

The November estimated price for Iowa corn was 39 percent lower than the November 2012 price, while soybean prices were 11 percent lower.

Duffy said land values will likely drop if projections of a new lower level for commodity prices hold.

“But the odds are pretty low of major collapse in land values because I think the odds of a major collapse in grain prices is pretty low.”

EQUESTRIAN SKIJORING FUN

China set on restoring polluted farmland Dangerous levels of cadmium keep land out of production BEIJING, China (Reuters) — Eight million acres of China’s farmland is too polluted to grow crops, a government official said highlighting the risk facing agriculture after three decades of rapid industrial growth.

China has been under pressure to improve its urban environment following a spate of pollution scares.

However, cleaning up rural regions could be an even bigger challenge as the government tries to reverse damage done by years of urban and industrial encroachment and ensure food supplies for a growing population.

Wang Shiyuan, the country’s viceminister of land and resources, said China was determined to rectify the problem and had committed “tens of billions of yuan” a year to pilot projects aimed at rehabilitating contaminated land and underground water supplies.

The area of China’s contaminated land is about the same size as Belgium. Wang said no more planting would be allowed on it because the government was determined to prevent toxic metals entering the food chain.

“In the past there have been news reports about cadmium-contaminated rice,” he said.

“These kinds of problems have already been strictly prohibited.”

Inspectors found dangerous levels of cadmium last year in rice sold in the southern city of Guangzhou. The rice was grown in Henan, a major heavy metal-producing region.

China’s determination to squeeze as much food and resources as possible from its land has put thousands of farms close to chemical plants, mines and other heavy industries, raising the risks of contamination.

With food security still the most pressing concern, China is determined to ensure that at least 295 million acres of land is reserved for agriculture.

Rehabilitation of polluted land is part of that policy.

A government land survey revealed traces of toxic metals dating back at least a century as well as pesticides banned in the 1980s, and state researchers have said that as much as 70 percent of China’s soil could have problems.

RURAL FRANCE | ECONOMIC DECLINE

Far from idyll, rural France feels left behind Feeling of isolation | Images of a French countryside with wineries, dairy cows and cheese makers is just for show SOUSCEYRAC, France (Reuters) — The first thing a visitor to this rural French village sees upon entering town are road signs pointing the way out.

The sprawling parking lot that is Sousceyrac’s main square is mostly empty on a weekday afternoon. The tourist information office, post office and bull semen co-operative are closed, and the rumble of hay and lumber trucks passing through town

without stopping adds to the air of isolation.

The economic handicaps plaguing this community of 930 people on the foothills of the southern Massif Central are many. Mobile phone service is spotty, the hospital is an hour’s drive away and the butcher and the bank are gone. Even the pizza lady, Paulette, is throwing in the towel.

For decades, France has fretted about its banlieues, the racially

mixed population belts around its major cities which, for many, became synonymous with delinquency and deprivation.

But while $57 billion has been pumped over the past decade into cities and suburbs for social housing and other initiatives aimed at appeasing discontent, country dwellers say some rural areas have been relegated to second tier status with a growing lack of essential public services.

“It’s not a gap, it’s a schism. Here in Sousceyrac I can’t even receive a text message. We’re behind on everything here,” rails local man Fabien Faure.

“How do you get people to come here if even the phone doesn’t work?

Guess what? You won’t.”

Rural discontent is growing, as violent protests in Brittany have shown.

And though a sluggish economy gives president Francois Hollande little room to salve country folks’ gripes with state largesse, he can ill afford to scorn France’s substantial rural vote as his approval ratings hit record lows.

The rural blight clashes with images of sunlit peasant idyll that draw summer tourists by the millions and that remain central to the earthy selfimage of a nation whose forebears

We’re not forgotten when it comes to taxes, but we are for services. We’re good enough to pay for road works, but not to have basic services.

MAURICE LABROUSSE SOUSCEYRAC LIVESTOCK FARMER

mostly quit the land for the towns generations ago.

However, whether governments in Paris can reverse the decline is far from clear.

Just outside Sousceyrac, where rich pasture land on rolling granite hills has sustained generations, livestock farmer Maurice Labrousse said rural dwellers feel abandoned.

“It makes me scared. I feel like life in the countryside is over,” said Labrousse, who has survived a wave of farm closures.

One-third of farms have disappeared since 2000 from the Lot department where Sousceyrac lies, either sold to larger entities or now left fallow.

“We’re not forgotten when it comes to taxes, but we are for services. We’re good enough to pay for road works, but not to have basic services,” he said. “Better to live in the city. It’s a shame and I’m against it, but that’s the way it is.”

France is nearly twice the size of the continent’s economic powerhouse, Germany, but its population is 20 percent smaller, which creates costly problems for the distribution of public services. France also has double the proportion of people living in the countryside than Germany and 10 times that of Britain.

However, urban residents are better rewarded than their rural counterparts.

Rural mayors note that a special state grant to localities, which was worth more than $10 billion last year, provides $93 per head in the country, half what city dwellers receive.

“Rural areas always come up short in the balance,” said Cedric Szabo, director of the French Rural Mayors Association.

Successive governments, mindful of riots and tensions in the suburbs surrounding prosperous cities, have struggled to address the latest chapter in the long decline of rural France.

Tapping into the discontent, far right National Front leader Marine Le Pen did a Tour de France of the Forgotten to rural zones earlier this year, which passed through the Lot. A 2009 report on rural poverty for the conservative government that preceded Hollande’s Socialists said the limited attention given to poor health care and transport access, housing and jobs resulted in entrenched problems.

Hopes that the creation of a minister for rural areas that year might bring improvements were dashed when the post was scrapped again the following year.

For Sousceyrac mayor Francis Laborie, the goal is to “fight to make sure we’re less forgotten. In France who are we governed by? We’re governed by city people,” he said.

“You can see that country folk come second.”

Rural mayors are worried about a local government reorganization that will halve the number of the lowest level authorities, the communes, from 36,682, which accounts for 40 percent of all the municipal entities in the European Union.

Mayors say mergers mean they will no longer be able to steward the futures of their towns because their authority over roads and schools will go to out-of-town officials.

“We’re going to be eaten up by the big communities,” said Laborie.

“It’s going to accentuate the feeling of isolation.”

The government says shaking up a system little changed since Napoleon will help spread resources more evenly and do away with costly duplication of effort among local officials who sometimes provide services to barely a few hundred people.

Sousceyrac is relatively lucky: it still has a bakery, two schools, a few cafes and even a Michelin-starred restaurant. Worse hit are northern areas where industrial decline and population exodus have left land derelict and towns gutted.

But put aside Sousceyrac’s clean air and gentle landscape and bitter realities remain. One in two jobs are in public ser vices, the largest employer is a retirement home since a textile factory shut in 2008 and the population is steadily declining. It is now less than half what it was a century ago.

“It’s the beginning of the end for Sousceyrac,” said Pascal Deleris, an out-of-work mechanic who expects more businesses to shut and friends to leave town.

“It’s not what it was.”

National nostalgia for the soil that made France rich and powerful throughout history remains strong.

The annual Paris farm fair is a fixture in the calendar for politicians keen to burnish their rural credentials by posing beside a dairy cow or sampling farmhouse cheeses and charcuterie.

But to many in the country, that is just for show.

“For 30 years I’ve heard the politicians say rural life is important, we can’t let it disappear, it would be the end of France,” said Jacques Andurand, mayor of nearby Aynac.

“I have the feeling, and I’m not alone, that it’s a load of hot air.”

And yet, for all the problems, the long depopulation of the countryside has reversed in recent years, as people seek refuge from high rents in towns. Nine percent growth in the rural population between 1999 and 2007 was double that in urban areas.

A bigger rural vote may tempt politicians to do more.

“Growth ... has to come, first and foremost, from investing in these areas, which for too long have been left behind economically,” said Szabo.

Health care remains a problem area.

Nearly one-fifth of French people live a long way from a general practice doctor, and seeing a specialist is even more difficult. It creates what a French Senate report this year called a threat to the “equality among citizens” that is a founding tenet of the

NEWS republic. There is no national shortage of doctors, but the newly qualified shun rural areas where, for example, it can be hard for working spouses to find jobs. That is a problem as an older generation of family doctors retires.

“It’s over for doctors like us. I’m among the last,” said Alain Ducoq, 67, of Leyme, southwest of Sousceyrac. “By 2015 there won’t be any more doctors around here.”

Mayors in nearby towns are skeptical of a government plan to tempt young doctors to the countryside by subsidizing their pay for two years.

They think isolation and long hours will ultimately take their toll. Access to hospitals is also fraught.

The area hit headlines last year when a woman lost her baby en route to a maternity clinic over an hour’s drive away.

If health care is a matter of life and death, poor telecommunication service is an economic strain. Szabo said a lack of high speed internet is the biggest handicap for rural areas.

The internet and flexible hours create possibilities for urban residents to work from homes in the country, but not if they find themselves cut off when they get there.

France has issued licences for a new generation of mobile phone technology without requiring winning bidders to start building in rural areas first, which Germany has done.

However, an alternative approach to encouraging firms to build 4G relay stations in the countryside by letting them share costs and radio frequencies among themselves has not had the hoped-for effect.

While French cities are tuning in to 4G, even old-fashioned cellphones

“I can’t do my work. The phone doesn’t work.” said Jean-Louis Trin, a cattle dealer who echoes a common gripe.

Even the police cannot use cellphones at work, said Laborie.

Such brakes on economic development keep both entrepreneurs and employees at bay. A major regional employer, the Andros jam factory in nearby Biars-sur-Cere, struggles to find executives willing

to move with their families to the area, said Laborie.

Social workers say poorer urban families who move to the country for lower rents often get a shock when they discover that fuelling a car and heating drafty old houses can offset the savings.

And while the area is picturesque enough to draw tourists, seasonal income for local people who rely on them quickly evaporates.

“It’s idyllic in the summer but cata-

strophic in the winter,” said Michel Labrunie of the charity Secours Catholique.

Some small towns are finding creative ways to stay vibrant.

Aynac bought the 17th-century chateau in town, reselling it for what is hoped to be a bed and breakfast to lure tourists.

Nearby Mayrinhac-Lentour bought the last remaining store in town and turned it into a multi-purpose business: inn, bar, restaurant, tobacco

shop, bread depot and grocery store.

And many residents of Sousceyrac say they wouldn’t live anywhere else despite the handicaps, isolation and frustrations.

Trin, the third generation of cattle traders, said he feels privileged to live in the countryside, but its dwellers feel a world apart from France’s city residents.

“People don’t care,” he said.

“They’re going to start throwing peanuts to us, like at the zoo.”

AG NOTES ADVANCE PAYMENT REBATE Eligible producers in Saskatchewan’s Livestock Loan Guarantee Program can apply for a portion of the interest paid on their advance to be rebated through the federal Advance Payments Program.

Participants must be members of feeder cattle or bison associations and be eligible for a feeder advance.

LLG members must apply for the APP when the feeder advance is taken through their association.

The member must sign and date the forms for the schedule date to receive maximum interest.

The member may be eligible for an interest rebate on the first $100,000 of eligible advances.

Interest is rebated at the prime lending rate less 0.25 percent.

When the member pays the loan principal and interest in full, the

LLG program will collect the payout information from the association and provide it to the APP. The APP will rebate eligible interest to the LLG program, which will forward the funds to the appropriate association. The association then distributes the funds to the member.

The eligible advance is calculated by the number of head multiplied by the eligible amount, based on finished or background.

Cow-calf producers can access the full APP through the Canadian Livestock Advance Association.

LLG breeder members can take a cash advance on association calves, but will be required to make annual payments before obtaining the advance and obtain a release from the association.

Association cattle, bison and sheep are not eligible if a feeder loan is outstanding on them or if the annual payments have not been made.

DEAR FRIENDS AND Neighbours, on behalf of all the families that moved to Sky Light Colony on October 5th, 2012, we would like to offer a sincere and heartfelt thankyou for all the people, businesses, friends and neighbours who were involved with our efforts to fill our water reservoir. During all this there were good days and difficult days. Many times thoughts and worries were in our hearts, especially when young children would ask questions like, “what will we do if there are storms in winter and we can’t haul water?” It nearly broke your heart to hear worries from children. We kept saying, “we will find a way”.

Our only solution to fill the reservoir was to hire trucks and tankers. The colony spent many hours to come up with a solution. We spent a lot of time making phone calls to line up tankers and pumps. It was a nightmare getting things organized, but for the most part it came together. The most important thins is nobody was hurt during the whole operation. We would like to thank everyone for the time and effort it took to fill this big reservoir. It was a very big job to schedule tractors, tankers, pumps and to ensure the manpower was in place. It was challenging to set up pumps and lines in freezing weather. The team of equipment and people worked 24 hours a day, around the clock for 44 days and nights hauling water. We had previously been hauling water every day for six years or so, with one tanker. This was manageable but after the colony split, we got more livestock, we did not have the manpower to continue in this manner and had to come up with a new solution. A very special thanks to businesses and people who loaned or rented equipment: P&H at Mossliegh; Cooneys at High River; Dennis Stretch our neighbour; River Bend Colony; Hillridge Colony; Shadow Ranch Colony; New Dale Colony; Mialta Colony; Armada Colony; Southland International of Lethbridge; Maxim Truck Rentals from Calgary, Alberta; High River Rental and United Rentals from Lethbridge. A special thanks to all the manpower from Mialta Colony, New Dale Colony, Willow Creek Colony, Old Elm Colony and Green Acres Colony. A very special thank you to the County of Vulcan for keeping the roads in good order. A special thank you to Volker Stevin for sanding the highways, they ensured the roads were cleaned and safe no matter what time of day or weather conditions. A big thank you to Alberta Environment for helping with information on setting up the pumps at the lake. And last but certainly one of the most important thank yous to our neighbours. Thank our for not complaining for our trucks passing by their farms day and night. We wish you all the best in the coming New Year, 2014. God Bless You. With much gratitude from Sky Light Colony, Vulcan, AB.

There are many reasons to buy a pre-owned John Deere tractor or combine, and they all come down to one thing. Value.

Technology. Consider–a 3-year old John Deere 8R. When it came off the line it was AutoTrac™ Ready and JDLink™ enabled*. With one phone call to your dealer, you can begin using precision technology to help reduce inputs, improve yields, and get more done in less time.

’09 CIH 2016 head w/ Swathmaster pick-up. Overall 85% cond’n. $20,800.

Trades welcome. Financing available.

1-800-667-4515. www.combineworld.com

CASE AIM COMMAND AND SHARP SHOOTER “The Air Bubble Jet 90% consistently produces droplets LESS DRIFT, that are 200-550 microns LESS RUN OFF, in size. Too big to drift SUPERIOR $ 25 - too small to run off.”

11 COVERAGE

See us at the CROP PRODUCTION SHOW Jan. 13-16, 2014 PRAIRIELAND PARK, SASKATOON

Drift occurs when droplets are smaller than 200 microns. Standard sprayer nozzles drift because they produce droplets that are 50-300 micron in size with a large percentage under 200. With a droplet range of 200-550 microns, the Air Bubble Jet has 90% less drift than standard nozzles.

NEW!

$ 95

8

Run off occurs with big droplets - 600 microns and over. Depending on the manufacturer, other low drift nozzles produce droplets that range in size from 250-1000 microns. That is why run off can be a problem. With a droplet size of 200-550 microns, your chemical stays on the plant when applied with the Air Bubble Jet. New Twin Air Bubble Jet. With the twin cap, you can use 2-5 gallon nozzles rather than 1-10 gallon nozzles. The advantage is you get over twice as many droplets per square inch for superior coverage.

Air Bubble jet nozzles operate at 30-45 psi and have an overall range of 20-90 psi.They can be used to apply fungicides, insecticides and herbicides to any crop including potatoes and pulse crops.

ENERGY | FOOD FOR FUEL

EU governments fail to agree on limit for food-based fuel BRUSSELS, Belgium (Reuters) — European Union energy ministers have failed to agree on a compromise deal to limit the use of transport fuel made from food crops.

Critics say using food crops to make biofuel pushes up food prices and can do more harm than good to the environment.

Energy commissioner Guenther Oettinger said the delay would damage the EU’s efforts to reduce dependence on gas and oil imported from such sources as the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and would hurt its drive to curb greenhouse gas emissions.

“If we delay and postpone, the winners will be OPEC and Russia,” he said.

Last year, the European Commission responded to warnings about food price inflation and unintended consequences on the environment by proposing to cap the bloc’s use of biofuel based on crops such as corn and rapeseed at five percent.

That compares with an existing goal to have 10 percent of transport fuel made from renewable sources by 2020, which would be almost entirely derived from food-based fuel.

Lawmakers in the European Parliament backed a slightly higher cap of six percent, stirring opposition from the biofuel industry.

The industry has made its investment decisions based on the original 10 percent goal and accuses the commission of a U-turn that it says will

force plant closures and cost jobs.

EU energy ministers recently debated a new compromise of seven percent put forward by Lithuania, which currently holds the EU presidency.

Member states were deeply divided.

Some, such as Poland and Hungary, argued a seven percent cap was too low, while Denmark and Belgium, for instance, said it was too high.

Others said a compromise deal should be accepted on pragmatic grounds.

“There are some good victories for the environment compared to the current directive,” said Ed Davey, Britain’s energy and climate change secretary.

Martin Lidegaard, Denmark’s min-

ister for climate, energy and buildings, wanted more. He called for a sub-target to spur new generation biofuel made from algae and waste, a cap of five percent on crop-based fuel in line with the commission proposal, and accounting of factors such as indirect land use change as soon as there was “a solid, scientific basis.”

ILUC refers to the displacement effect that biofuel can cause as land is cleared for extra food crops to produce them, sometimes negating the aim of curbing emissions because it destroys trees and peatland that serve as carbon sinks.

Representatives of Germany’s biodiesel industry, which is Europe’s largest, welcomed the deadlock, saying it allowed more time to find a

more effective approach.

“The compromise did not contain suitable rules which would stop tropical rain forests being cut down,” said Elmar Baumann, chief executive officer of the German biofuel industry association VDB. “But it would have heavily damaged Europe’s biofuels industry and its farming.”

Anti-biofuel campaigners were also relieved the compromise was not adopted but said the status quo was worse.

“The EU needs to move fast and start listening to the consensus, which is that using food for fuel is an outdated and bizarre policy that needs to stop now,” said Laura Sullivan of the antipoverty group ActionAid.

STEAM TRACTOR | PRODUCTION HISTORY

Full steam forward while looking back Steam traction | Tractor that broke Saskatchewan sod and milled northern trees now leads American parades

BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Last fall, Ole Carlberg sat atop a 32-120 Reeves steam tractor as it headed up a two hour parade in Mount Pleasant, Iowa.

Delighting a crowd of thousands, the Canadian Special tractor was more than just a ride in a parade for Carlberg.

His grandfather had bought the steam tractor about 1910, and the Saskatchewan farmer hadn’t seen it since 1946 when his father sent it off on its own 67-year adventure.

“It just disappeared into the horizon,” said Carlberg.

Steam power ran the big, bottom plows that turned over the prairie sod and broke it up so that horses and lighter field tools could cultivate and plant.

Burning up to a tonne of coal per day, big steam tractors also ran threshing machines for harvest labour gangs and were the power of choice for the largest pioneering farms.

The rolling pressure vessels were the high technology tools for agricultural industry at the turn of the 20th century.

Clyde Hall of Fillmore, Sask., who

restores steam tractors built before 1920, said the big plows could do in a day what would take all summer for a man with horses.

“These were revolutionary tools,”

said Hall, who had known Ole’s father, Albin Carlberg.

Cheaper, lighter and faster distillate, gas and diesel tractors and pulltype combines were developed after the First World War, and the farm machinery industry boomed.

The hulking, coal powered units and their licensed boiler operators were idled by the early 1930s.

“The last time we worked with it I was about eight. We did some fall cultivating,” said the 82-year-old from Osage, Sask.

In 1947, it was shipped to the Western Development Museum in North Battleford, Sask.

“We fired it up on the farm. Dad put the pressure to it, after it had sat on the farm for about eight or 10 years. It held, just like the day we parked it,” he said.

It weighs a heck of lot (about 45,000 pounds) and had sunk into the dirt and been blown in with the dust of the ’30s. He rocked it out of those holes where it had sat. We drove it into Osage and loaded it, the threshing

machine and the pair of (Cockshutt) 12 bottom plows onto rail cars bound for North Battleford.… It was in pretty good condition. Except, when Dad was rocking it out of those holes in the ground, the four little bolts that had been holding the cast smoke stack on had corroded.”

The heavy iron stack snapped off the top of the tractor and broke as it hit one of the steel front wheels.

“Snapped the cast iron stack, so he took it to a real good welder (Dutchy Lakeman) in Fillmore and he (brazed) all the pieces back together. We put it back on. Then it was loaded on the rail and it disappeared,” he said.

Carlberg contacted the museum years later, hoping to look in on the tractor, only to find the museum’s deal for the farm equipment involved selling the tractor to a lumber company. It had been shipped to northern Saskatchewan to power a forestry camp.

PRODUCTION “Stuff doesn’t usually come back from that sort of an end. They would work them to death and leave them in the bush,” he said.

The tractor had had close calls in its past, including a run-in with a scrap iron buyer who tried to strike a deal in the field with Carlberg’s father. Meanwhile, the scrapper had left a man with a torch at the farmyard who was preparing to cut up the machine.

“Dad told that buyer, ‘no’ and ‘hell no.’ ‘No sale.’ He wasn’t listening well.

The air got pretty blue when he found out they had to stop the guy with the torch,” said Carlberg.

However, the tractor now seemed gone for good. Except it wasn’t.

Two years ago, Hall was reading an American steam power enthusiasts’ publication and noticed a picture of a Reeves with a welded, cast iron stack.

The tractor, a cross compound, 32 horsepower, 120 brake h.p. unit, was identical to Carlberg ’s missing machine.

“Only one of them would have had that same repair to the stack,” he said.

The Midwest Old Threshers Traction Steam Engines Heritage Museum in Mount Pleasant, Iowa, had likely bought the tractor from a former Case IH machinery service adviser who would travel to Canadian dealerships.

It is thought he traded a centrecrank, Case steam tractor to the Western Development Museum in

North Battleford for the Reeves and took it back to the United States.

The details are sketchy about why the tractor was back in North Battleford, but it appears the original sale to the forestry camp involved returning it to North Battleford after it had served its lumbering purposes.

It now makes up one of three steam tractors in the Iowa museum’s interactive collection.

Hall said he is told the tractor has Albin Carlberg’s initials carved into the end of the axle with a cold chisel, further proof that it is the same machine and one of only five to survive to this day.

Carlberg said that by 1915 his father had studied enough to qualify for a traction engineer’s certificate from the Saskatchewan government.

“Dad knew that machine well and was very fond of it,” he said.

“He would never have wanted it scrapped. I think that was why it went b a c k t o t h e m u s e u m i n No r t h Battleford. My daughter and her fellow, Brian, went down to see it and sure enough, it was the one.”

The museum invited Carlberg, his wife, Shirley, and their family to join its annual three day fall reunion, which attracts hundreds of antique tractors and sees more than 55,000 through its gates during the event.

Carlberg also donated his father’s steam engineer’s certificate issued on the tractor, which is considered “highly important to a museum. So

there it remains, in a display case with the tractor.

“Two young fellows from Mount Pleasant have now qualified for their boiler papers to work on and operate the tractor, so it is in good hands.”

The big Reeves, with Carlberg on the back, led the event’s Cavalcade of Power and was featured in the evening threshermen’s light show.

it was lost forever.”

AGRONOMY | HERBICIDE TOLERANCE

U.S. likely to approve 2,4-D tolerant corn, soybeans Enlist system | The USDA is recommending the genetics be released after completing an extended environmental evaluation

BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM &REUTERS

New 2,4-D, glufosinate and glyphosate tolerant genetic traits developed by Dow, Bayer and Monsanto have taken a step closer to U.S. government approval.

Already approved in Canada for soybeans, the Enlist system puts tolerance to 2,4-D, Liberty and Roundup in the same plants.

The first uses for the technology will be available in soybeans and corn with other crops expected to follow.

The system is designed to provide multiple modes of weed and voluntary crop control, reducing the likelihood that weed resistance will develop.

Crops tolerant to the three herbicides remain susceptible to other herbicides, which would provide control options for Enlist volunteer plants.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture recently indicated that it is leaning toward approving the Enlist system and is recommending that the genetics be released.

Dow had hoped to release the product for last season, but controversy erupted over the system’s environmental safety.

As a result, the USDA extended the evaluation period for the product last May. In its decision announced Jan. 3, the USDA said it had completed a draft environmental impact statement for Enlist corn and two types of Enlist soybeans and said its “preferred” option was approval of all three.

The department noted in its state-

ment that its regulatory authority is limited and it primarily evaluates the risks that a new biotech crop presents to other crops or plants.

The draft statement is available for public review, and the USDA said it will hold a “virtual public meeting” to receive feedback from the public

before it makes a final regulatory decision.

The USDA’s review comes at the same time that the Environmental Protection Agency is reviewing the safety of Dow’s Enlist 2,4-D herbicide. The EPA is expected to issue its proposed regulatory decision in the

next few months.

As well, Monsanto, in conjunction with BASF, is seeking regulatory approval for its new soybean and cotton, which resist a new dicambabased herbicide.

Soybeans are approved for the Banvel 2 product in Eastern Canada, but

delays in the United States and China are slowing commercialization.

Approval from Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency is also pending for that chemical’s use in soybeans.

Dicamba resistant canola is also being developed in Canada.

Midge tolerant wheat protects your crop against devastating pest damage, but it’s up to you to protect the technology. The Stewardship Agreement limits the use of farm-saved seed to one generation past Certified seed. It’s a simple step that keeps the interspersed refuge system at the proper level, preventing build-up of resistant midge.Without the refuge, we risk losing the one and only tolerant gene.There is no plan B. Protect this important tool. Plan for high yields and quality grades for years to come. Contact your retailer or visit www.midgetolerantwheat.ca.

emonstration of a practice or product implies that no scientific analysis is done on the resulting information. A non-replicated, side-by-side trial is a common example of this approach.

Demonstrations have value and can help with decision-making but are not as convincing as a replicated trial.

Seaman A. Knapp, a key figure in the history of technology transfer to farmers, is the father of the farm demonstration, which he developed and promoted in the United States during the 1880s until about 1910.

“What a man hears, he may doubt; what he sees he may also doubt; but what he does, he cannot doubt,” Knapp said.

Agriculture and farmers have changed dramatically since then, but there is still value in this approach.

Growers often evaluate a new practice by applying it to a small field and comparing the results with nearby fields, or by splitting a field and applying the new practice on one side and their normal practice on the other.

Likewise, growers and industry reps sometimes place a strip of a new hybrid, herbicide, fungicide or fertilizer in a field to compare it with the rest of the field. These are called demonstrations, and they allow a local comparison of how a practice looks.

This can be an important first step, but problems occur when producers want more than a look. It is simply not possible to reliably compare yields and other quantitative data without a scientific approach.

Growers often bring me yield maps of fields on which they have used a

new practice. There are often obvious impacts from these tests, but good, accurate numbers about how much impact the procedure made are impossible to extract.

Local growers have often expressed concern about adopting equipment and technologies that have not been tested in their local agri-climatic conditions and cropping systems Our cropland areas contain highly variable soil, topography, climatic conditions and cropping systems, which make testing and transfer of new farming technologies difficult.

As a result, design of on-farm testing is a critical first step in accurate field comparison of management options.

Modern technology such as GPS, auto-steer and yield monitoring allows growers to easily conduct simple experiments on their farm and obtain accurate results. They can use accepted methods of on-farm testing to achieve experimental precision comparable to those of intensive university and government research trials.

A large reservoir of data can be collected when these tests are pooled with similar experiments performed by other local growers.

As well, producers can calculate the probability of receiving economic returns from a procedure using current prices and data developed from the tests.

However, farmers should ask the following questions before setting up an on farm test: • Are they willing to make time for this?

• Do they have access to good equipment for the things they want to test?

• Do they have a good way to measure yields?

• Do they have the time at harvest to take the yields?

• Is there a local resource person, such as government specialists or input agronomists, who they can work with on this?

• Should they consider teaming up with other growers to replicate the trial across a number of locations?

• Should they look for outside funds, such as the ADOPT program in Saskatchewan, to help pay for project expenses?

Farmers should also know what they want to learn, which can take more thought than it might appear.

To do this, determine what you really need to know before you can make a decision about whether to adopt a new practice or product. Design the test to provide that information and avoid comparing too much.

For example, producers could limit the scope of their testing to compare only one new fungicide to an existing fungicide and an untreated check.

The following steps are often taken when laying out a scientific on-farm test: • Choose an area in a field where long, side-by-side plots can be placed with the expectation that whatever is being measured should be nearly equal.

• Assign the treatments to the plots randomly, such as with a coin toss.

This must be done to ensure the layout is unbiased. It might seem obvious, but there are many ways to consciously or unconsciously give an advantage to one of the practices being compared.

High-performance bale throughput!

• Repeat these processes so there are at least three replications. They could be next to each other, in different areas of the field or even in different fields.

The best results occur when each replication is positioned so that variations in the field, such as high and low areas, soil variations, field borders and fertilizer overlaps, will be encountered equally by each strip in the replication.

Plots should be as long as possible with a minimum length of 200 metres. The width will depend on the width of seeding, spraying and harvesting machinery.

Make a map of the field and plot locations, and keep notes on what you observe throughout the trial year. After conducting all field operations, such as spraying post emergence herbicides, mark the plots with stakes tall enough to be easily found at harvest time.

Record data measurements separately for each strip.

At harvest, ensure that the yield monitor has been properly calibrated.

If weigh wagons or scales are being used, cut a full header width out of the centre of each plot and weigh the

grain from each plot separately. As well, measure the length of the harvested strip and header width to calculate the area of each plot.

Portable truck scales or weigh wagons typically provide two to five kilogram accuracy per load cell.

As a result, proportional error due to weighing equipment accuracy will be greater with smaller plots, particularly if yields are low. You may want to collect grain samples for moisture content, test weight and quality measurements.

Once you have collected your data and run statistics to determine if the recorded differences are statistically significant, the final step is to run an economic analysis.

Using your costs and prices, calculate the return for each of the treatments to see if there is an economic advantage.

One way to do this is with a simple program called Agstats02, which will run statistics on on-farm tests. For more information on Agstats02, check out pnwsteep.wsu.edu/ag statsweb/index.html.

An American east coast investment group has acquired an Ontario farm machinery maker.

Salford Machinery manufactures tillage and seeding tools for a worldwide market, including the former Soviet Union. It has had major investors from that region for years, and it was largely that majority stake that was sold to the investment company.

Anson Boak of Salford said the new owner plans to expand the company’s manufacturing facilities in southern Ontario and Iowa.

“Iowa could benefit from some investment, and GenNx360 (Capital Partners) seem very committed to growing their investment in us,” he said.

Carmen Rojas from New York City, where GenNx360 is based, said the seven-year-old group was looking for

an agricultural investment that was involved in manufacturing.

“It was a good investment that fits well with some of our principals’ experience,” she said.

“There are some mega-trends out there in the world, and agriculture and food are one of the big ones, so it makes sense to position your money where will grow.”

GenNx360 said it plans to invest in Salford’s existing infrastructure as well look for bolt-on acquisitions that will expand its business.

Salford’s dealer network in the former Soviet Union, which is held by its former owners, will remain intact and was one of the features the GenNx360 found attractive.

“They have a great footprint in North America, but are connected in other markets as well, ensuring there are generally solid sales opportunities,” Rojas said.

EQUIPMENT SALES | OUTLOOK

Equipment sales cooling, prices remain steady Demand linked to commodity prices | Some dealers expect demand for precision agriculture machinery to continue

BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Farm machinery sales are expected to be lower this year, but most companies are characterizing it as taking a breather rather than as a disappointment.

Canada’s largest agricultural lender suggests that far fewer new tractors will be sold in 2014 than in previous years.

Economist James Bryan of Farm Credit Canada has looked at the sector and identified it as one of five major issues in Canadian agriculture to watch this year.

Charlie O’Brien of the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM), said that the industry was prepared for a slowing of sales.

“For some of the biggest companies, well, they have said they could use a break,” he said.

“Record year after record year comes with a lot of good, but there are some downsides to it, and many are hoping to be able to take the time to make some adjustments.”

T h e A E M , w h i c h t ra c k s f a r m machinery sales, said Canadian farmers bought an average of 2,100 tractors a month from 2006 to 2012.

FCC feels this year’s tractor sales will move closer to the 2001-05 average sales of 1,540 tractors per month, which is a 27 percent decline from the past five-year average.

Bryan said farmers have been buying new machinery at a steady pace over the past five years of profitability. The demand for machinery is now naturally cooling along with commodity prices, he added.

“In the short term, we see machinery prices staying fairly static,” he said. “But if commodities get any softer, I would think we will see even those start to soften. The Canadian dollar could be a factor that will play into sales. If it goes too low, then we will see a noticeable increase in machinery prices, as those are set in the U.S., not here. It is an international market. Most of the equipment that Canadian farmers use is built there or at least sold there in com-

John Schmeiser of the Canada West Equipment Dealers’ Association said farmers have been spending on new tools and higher capacity machinery, and most now have a stable of newer equipment. As a result, they are prepared for lower commodity prices and a higher dollar.

“Farmers are pretty careful about spending, even when things are going really well. They will adjust to the market signals, and right now they are generally in a good position to do so,” he said.

“But most will have regular needs for replacement machinery and for additional capacity, and meet that with new purchases.”

Jim Wood of Rocky Mountain Equipment, who manages a dealer chain of nearly 40 stores, said the demand will likely soften for 2014 and 2015.

He said the price increases associated with the final Tier 4 emissions compliance, combined with farmers’ current new machine inventories, a

lower Canadian dollar and a 25 to 40 percent drop in commodities prices, will naturally manifest itself in fewer sales.

Bryan said FCC feels many prairie farmers will be looking to hang onto their late model machines a year or two longer than they have been.

Wood said farmers are still planning major investments in application equipment and site specific agricultural tools.

The demand for sprayers and fertilizer applicator remains strong and in some cases is growing.

The situation isn’t limited to North America.

Reinhard Grandke, chief executive

officer of the German farmer cooperative Deutsche Landwirtschafts Gesellschaft (DLG), said farmers in the European Union are asking for more precision agriculture tools that will allow them to gather more data about their crops and fields, process the information and use the knowledge to customize the operation of every acre on their farms.

DLG’s analysis of the international markets for farm equipment and technology suggest that sales will remain level with the record year of 2012, or in some cases exceed those sales.

Grandke said farmers in Europe have a lot of confidence in the stabil-

ity of their positive operating margins and have put the hard years of the late 1990s and first seven years of the 2000s behind them.

He said even sectors such as dairy in Europe and the United States and hogs worldwide are showing improvements in returns. Beef cattle have entered another era of profitability as feed prices drop.

“There, too, we see farmers looking to renew some livestock equipment, and that will aid in sales of equipment and make farmers more efficient and profitable. So there are areas of growth,” he said.

“Arable farmers (cereal, pulse and oilseed) have had excellent economic conditions since 2008.”

DLG’s research indicates that E.U. farmers expect to see several years of steady or slightly lower commodities markets and reasonably low input costs, and that level of security is encouraging them to make plans to keep making capital investments at near record rates.

Berndt Schuler of the German association that represents agricultural equipment manufacturers said farmers’ optimism internationally has never been better, which is resulting in a lot of potential sales for farm equipment companies.

Schuler said worldwide production of machinery remains on a record pace of growth and 2013 has likely increased more than 10 percent from 2012 sales.

This year’s farm machinery sales worldwide are expected to produce similar sales figures, he added.

O’Brien said sales in other parts of the world depend on high volumes of smaller machinery than what is typically found in Australia, Eastern Europe and North America.

SYDNEY (Reuters) — A searing heat wave is baking central and northern Australia, piling more misery on drought-hit cattle farmers.

Producers were forced to slaughter livestock last year as Australia sweltered through the hottest year on record.

Temperatures topped 40 C in large parts of Australia’s key agricultural regions for most of the last week of December, with the mercury topping 48 C in the west-central Queensland town of Birdsville.

The heat wave is moving east across Australia, prompting health warnings last week in some of the country’s biggest cities. Firefighters were already battling bushfires.

However, it is in the outback that soaring temperatures have had the most devastating impact, especially on cattle farmers in Queensland, which accounts for 50 percent on the national herd.

“Water supplies are fast diminishing and whatever feed supplies that were left are cooking off to the point where there won’t be any left,” said Charles Burke, a beef farmer and chief executive of Agforce, a Queensland cattle industry group.

“This drought is shaping to be an absolute disaster.”

Monsoon rain in Australia’s north failed last summer, and the continent endured its hottest year since records began in 1910, the Bureau of Meteorology said Jan. 3.

Average temperatures were 1.2 C higher than the long-term average of 21.8 C, breaking the previous record set in 2005.

“The new record high calendar year temperature averaged across Australia is remarkable because it occurred not in an El Nino year but a normal year,” said David Karoly, a climate scientist from the University of Melbourne’s School of Earth Sciences.

The El Nino weather pattern is a warming of ocean surface temperatures in the eastern and central Pacific Ocean and usually brings hot, dry and often drought conditions to Australia.

In the remote town of Marree, 700 kilometres north of Adelaide in South Australia, one resident tested the folklore that eggs can be fried on the road during an outback heat wave.

“You hear stories of people frying an egg on a shovel, so we set up a shovel this morning out the front and sure enough we’ve got an egg there that’s slowly frying away,” publican Phil Turner told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.

Faced with such tough conditions, farmers are being forced to slaughter more cattle in the current 2013-14 season.

Australia’s cattle herd will fall to 25 million head during the 2013-14 season, the lowest since the 2009-10

season, because of increased slaughtering, the Australian Bureau of Agriculture and Resource Economics and Sciences said.

“Even the flies are sticking close to the house ... thanks to the air conditioner coming out the windows,” said Jo Fogarty from the Lucy Creek cattle station in the Northern Territory. “(We are) leaving sprinklers on for the dogs and birds at the moment.

We are quite lucky we have got a good supply of water at the homestead.”

Australia is the world’s third largest beef exporter, with sales during the 2013-14 season expected to reach $4.82 billion.

However, future exports could fall if Australian farmers continue to send cattle to slaughter because farmers will eventually rebuild stocks when conditions improve.

The soaring temperatures have also renewed focus on climate change policy in Australia under the new government.

Australian prime minister Tony Abbott has said he accepts the reality of climate change, but he abolished the country’s Climate Change Commission in September and rejected any link that global warming was responsible for a series of bushfires across New South Wales state in October.

One of Abbott’s major policies is to overturn the previous government’s carbon tax, which was aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions in an effort to tackle climate change.

“On the science perspective, which is the basis for taking action, you’re getting very, very mixed messages from this government,” said Will Steffen, an adjunct professor at the Australian National University.

“I think the first challenge needs to be absolutely clear and consistent messaging from this new government that they understand the science, they accept the science, they accept the risk and they accept the lead to take vigorous and decisive action in getting emissions down.”

AUSTRALIAN BEEF INDUSTRY Australian Bureau of Statistics figures as of June 30, 2012

• Australia’s national cattle herd stands at 28.5 million head.

• The beef industry accounts for 57 percent of all farms with agricultural activity.

• The value of Australian cattle and calf production (including live export) is about $7.4 billion Aus. • 77,164 properties raise 13.6 million beef cows and heifers.

• Australia produces four percent of the world’s beef supply and is the third largest beef exporter.

HOGS | KEEPING PED VIRUS OUT OF CANADA

Dirty trucks weak link in virus chain Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus | Canada has a plan to contain PED if it arrives, but clean trucks from the U.S. are key

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Livestock haulers that bring cattle into Canada and take pigs back to the United States are causing concerns about potential spread of a deadly pig virus.

Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PED), a highly infectious illness, has caused major piglet losses in 20 U.S. states. It has not been found in Canada, and those in the pig industry want to keep it that way.

Dr. Dawn Magrath, a veterinarian with Innovative Veterinary Services in Lethbridge, said livestock transport trucks are a potential source of PED spread.

“They are typically coming dirty from cattle producers,” Magrath said about trucks arriving on pig farms.

“They’re not washing them and then they’re going to pick up pigs to take pigs back south to slaughter facilities.”

Cattle cannot get PED, but the virus can hitch a ride in manure and any other organic material or moisture on trucks and then spread to hog farms if the trucks are not properly cleaned.

“Whether it’s hog manure or cattle manure, to me it still says a lot about their protocols if they’re coming across and they’re not cleaning before they go to the next farm to pick up pigs,” Magrath said.

“What concerns me is, how do I know that they washed out from the last load of pigs before they went to get cattle? What I’m concerned about, they’re not washing at all.

They maybe took pigs down last week, brought cattle back and picking pigs up again and maybe they didn’t wash between any of that stuff.”

Magrath said she encourages her hog producer customers to reject livestock trucks that aren’t clean.

However, that can interfere with producer shipping schedules.

Dr. Julia Keenliside, a veterinary epidemiologist with Alberta Agriculture, said the solution is for producers to contact their haulers before the trucks reach the farm. Ensure the trucks have been washed and dried before they arrive to pick up a load.

“The first thing we’re saying is that producers need to make sure that all trucks coming on their farms have been cleaned, disinfected and dried because if the manure stays on the truck and it freezes, it could still have the virus inside, and at this time of year, it’s hard to get a truck perfectly clean.

“Trucks are probably our biggest risk right now and we have to do everything we can to make sure those trucks are clean before they come to a pig farm in Alberta.”

PED was first discovered in the U.S. in May and had spread to several states before it was identified. It can kill 80 to 90 percent of young piglets through dehydration from diarrhea and vomiting. Mortality rates are lower in older pigs and sows.

A report from the U.S. in late December showed an unexpectedly lower hog herd size, which has been attributed to pig losses from PED. A representative from U.S. hog giant Smithfield Foods said last week that the virus could reduce the American herd by two to three million head this year.

A vaccine has been developed in the U.S. with potential to curb PED but its effectiveness is not yet known.

The virus is not a reportable disease in the U.S. because it presents no human health concerns in terms of spread to humans or any other species, and meat from infected animals is safe.

Keenliside said lack of reportability makes it difficult to determine the exact number of cases in the U.S., which is also why Canada is working to make PED reportable in all provinces. “(Then) we will have a way of knowing where all our cases are and keeping track of how it spreads,” she said.

The Canadian hog industry has also launched a concerted effort to educate producers and livestock

haulers about PED and its potential spread. It has a plan in place should the virus enter Canadian barns, and Alberta recently did an emergency response exercise to test the effectiveness of its plan.

“We in Canada have the luxury of knowing that this disease is possibly coming our way because it is in the U.S., so we can prepare for it. I think that gives us a real advantage in controlling it, over the U.S.,” Keenliside said.

“Right now we’re really happy it has been in the U.S. for eight months and it hasn’t been in Canada yet. That’s very positive.”

Magrath said there is little hope of keeping PED out of Canada unless livestock haulers pay attention to washing, disinfecting and drying trucks.

“It’s not a matter of if, it’s when,” Magrath said.

“I’m concerned about it and I knew that when winter came, it would get worse rather than better. We just need to be extremely cautious and not allow stuff like that (dirty trucks) to carry on. If it splashed over in cattle manure, who knows what’s underneath? It’s the responsibility of the producer at the farm to not allow dirty trucks into their facility and if they are, they should be turning them away.”

Keenliside said early detection will

be vital to containing PED and preventing it from becoming established if it does infect a Canadian hog barn.

She said producers should report any cases of unusual pig diarrhea to a veterinarian. PED can be verified only through laboratory testing.

Symptoms can be mild in finishing barns, which is another worry in terms of detection.

“It would be very easy to miss, so that’s why we’re saying to producers, if you see diarrhea in the finishing barn, call your vet. Get it tested,” she said.

“Even if they’re just suspect cases, don’t wait.”

HOW TO CLEAN A TRUCK • Exterior: Pressure wash, disinfect and dry exterior panels, wheels, mud flaps, fenders, running boards, chassis, electrical cables, winter panels and areas beneath, storage areas and loading ramp.

• Interior: Wash, disinfect and dry access ramps, ceiling, floor, every corner, holes and wall cavities, partitions, doors, hinges, cables and tools.

• Interior cab: Wash, disinfect and dry pedals, floor mats, door handles, steering wheel, gear shift, seat, radio and cellphone.

CANADA’S PED STRATEGY • Heightened biosecurity: Ensure incoming animals are from healthy herds; all trucks and equipment are free of contamination; know quality and source of all incoming feed ingredients.

• Effective surveillance: Monitor herds through Canadian Swine Health Information Network; report any unusual signs of disease; ensure veterinarian is participating in CSHIN. • Keeping informed: The Canadian Swine Health Board has a free daily electronic update on swine health news at infor@swinehealth. ca.

• Risk analysis: National risk analysis will provide information on further protecting the Canadian herd.

Some risk assessments for PED are already underway. Issues to be considered include diagnostic testing and capacity, financial impact for producers and the rest of the value chain.

• Control: An intervention strategy must be established and immediately implemented if PED is found in Canada. Components include containment and strategies to eliminate the disease.

CODE OF PRACTICE | SHEEP

Sheep producers happy with code of practice Producers had few concerns | The sheep code generated the fewest responses during the comment period of the codes

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

The new code of practice for care and handling of sheep has received a generally warm reception from the Canadian Sheep Federation.

Executive director Corlena Patterson said she was pleased with the outcome of deliberations by a 17-member committee that began work in January 2011.

“I think in the end the code represents a really good end result in terms of melding both animal production and animal welfare,” Patterson said Dec. 19, the day after the final version was published.

“We’re quite satisfied with the end result. It’s workable for everybody.”

The sheep code is the fifth to be finalized in a process organized by the National Farm Animal Care Council (NFACC). A draft released for public comment July 9 to Sept. 6 drew useful responses from producers, Patterson said.

“The comments were largely productive and well thought out, and we took those into consideration without a lot of contention.”

NFACC general manager Jackie Wepruk said the sheep code generated the fewest responses during the comment period of any code so

Changes to sheep production practices include pain relief requirements for certain procedures. | far developed.

“I would say that the feedback we got on the sheep code was proportionate to the issues that the sheep industry is facing,” said Wepruk.

“It’s certainly not facing the same

issues as the pig code. We were pleased by the number of producers that actually responded.”

Changes include a requirement for use of anesthesia and pain relievers when castrating or tail docking sheep

older than six weeks. Castration on rams older than 10 weeks must be done by a veterinarian using anesthesia.

Patterson said producers accepted the new requirement.

“There’s an understanding that there’s a need for them, there’s a place for them and from the producers’ standpoint there didn’t seem to be a lot of pushback on what the recommendations were.”

Wepruk said she was not part of the sheep code committee meetings, but as with most codes, issues surrounding animal welfare tend to generate the most discussion.

“That’s one issue that I think has been common to all the codes of practice, is resolving what the science says in terms of how much pain a procedure may cause … versus practicality of applying those methods,” Wepruk said.

The sheep code committee included producers, veterinarians, researchers, animal welfare group representatives and government officials.

The scientific analysis of the code included: • Stressful handling and management procedures • Accelerated lambing (lambing every eight or nine months instead of once a year) • Methods of on-farm euthanasia • Flooring types • Neonatal care • Painful procedures • Snow as a water source

CODE OF PRACTICE | HOGS

Sow stall issue delays final pig code version

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

The national code of practice for pigs is expected to be finalized this spring, after one more committee meeting and just before federal funding expires.

The code was originally scheduled for release in 2013, but pig producer opposition to draft code requirements for a transition to open sow housing was a major reason for postponement.

Producers argued that the expense of expanding or altering barns without any guarantee of recovering those expenses made the requirement impractical. They also said there was no proof open sow housing enhanced animal welfare.

However, animal activist groups lobbied for an end to gestation stalls for pregnant sows, which they said are too confining and do not allow pigs to express natural behaviour.

Ab o u t 4 , 7 0 0 re s p o n s e s w e re received during a public comment period over the draft pig code, which was open from June 1 to Aug. 3.

“That one is probably the most challenging of all the codes that we’ve worked on because of the particularly heightened public attention that that industry is facing, but we actually see the light at the end of the tunnel for that code and we are talking about having that one out before this project ends in March,” said National Farm Animal Care Council (NFACC) execu-

tive director Jackie Wepruk.

The codes of practice for several species of livestock are being updated under the guidance of the NFACC, which released its fifth code of practice, the one for care and handling of sheep, Dec. 18.

Funding for the livestock code updates, many of which have not been changed for decades, was provided through the federal Growing Forward 2 program.

The current round of funding expires in March, but Wepruk said the NFACC has applied for additional money so it can complete the layer code and the poultry meat bird code, which includes broilers, turkeys and hatching egg birds.

“The industries for both those codes are anxious to continue work and they don’t want to lose that momentum,” Wepruk said.

She said code committees members, including producers, veterinarians, researchers, animal welfare groups and government officials, have proven to be dedicated despite facing what was probably more than many bargained for initially.

“Animal welfare is very emotional and it’s good that it’s emotional,” she said. “It’s important because it means that we all care, but when we’re trying to understand each other, we need to make sure that the emotion doesn’t get in the way of hearing and listening.

I think that’s what we’ve tried to create in the code process: a way for that constructive dialogue to happen.”

TEDDY GROWS UP

CALVING | INTERVENTION

Producers must recognize limits at calving time ANIMAL HEALTH

ROY LEWIS, DVM

C

alving related problems have become less common because of improved breeding that allows producers to select for easy calving heifers with larger pelvises and moderate birth weights.

However, timely intervention and recognizing our limitations continues to be critical.

An internal clock starts ticking with each calving as the cow’s cervix opens and the delivery process starts.

It is imperative to watch and record when this process starts because it makes it easy to decide when to intervene.

Progress should usually be made in one hour for cows and one and a half hours for heifers. It may be wise to check the cow if continual straining occurs, blood appears first or the cow seems hunched over and nothing is being presented.

Many producers are reluctant to intervene because they rarely need to assist cows, but my work with experienced producers has shown that they are usually guided by intuition.

If a producer feels something is wrong, checking the cow or heifer early usually avoids a wreck.

Progress should be made every 15 minutes in any mal-presentation, improperly dilated cervix or a situation in which fetal manipulation and extraction is required. If it isn’t, call for assistance.

Veterinarians should be called for most full breech births because careful manipulation is required to avoid tearing the uterus. This is where mistakes can happen and can lead to the death of the cow in some cases.

Torsions are rare, so recognizing them is the first step in getting help with the correction.

They present similar to a full breech birth. The cow or heifer goes through what appears to be the first initial signs of labour, but then there is no progression.

No water bag is presented and no fluid is discharged, yet the cow/heifer appears uneasy.

When examining the cow vaginally, it will feel like bands of tissue are running every which way. It does not feel normal.

Producers may be able to wiggle their hand and reach the calf, but it feel like they are going down a loose corkscrew and their hand may be upside down by the time they reach the calf. This is a sure sign of a torsion, and immediate veterinarian intervention is required.

Some veterinarians try to correct the torsion, either by manipulation or casting the cow and having helpers roll it while holding onto the calf through the vagina. Others use a detorsion rod.

However, in probably half the cases, either the twist is too tight or there is no room to detorse, and a caesarian section is required.

Torsions are just a fluke. It is not

A vet should be called for most full breech births because it takes careful manipulation. | FILE PHOTO hereditary, and I have never seen a cow develop a torsion more than once. If it did, the odds would be extremely low. I have never seen an incidence number reported, but it would be one in every thousand to several thousand births.

Veterinarians are called to examine most torsions.

A producer with only 120 cows once had two torsions a week apart and was quick to recognize the second one.

Most torsions are 180 degrees but some can be 360 degrees or better.

Recognition is vital in torsions, and I encourage everyone to examine the cow vaginally whenever I get a case so that they are better able to recognize it next time.

Call for help and hopefully a successful outcome will result.

Producers should try to deal with a calving abnormality themselves for 15 minutes, including improper cervical dilation, twins coming mixed up, the placenta presented first and vaginal prolapse.

If no progress is made, call for help or be prepared to take the animal to the veterinary clinic for examination.

These are not common abnormalities anymore, so the veterinary bill is worth it if it achieves a successful outcome.

Roy Lewis works as a technical services veterinarian with Merck Animal Health in Alberta.

Koch expands | Farmer led projects say there is room for them

GRAIN TRADERS NAME

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Koch Fertilizer plans to spend $30 million in the first of a series of expansions at its nitrogen plant in Brandon, increasing ammonia production by 90,000 tonnes annually.

As well, the company said it is considering another major investment in its Brandon plant to boost urea production.

However, Farmers of North America spokesperson Bob Friesen said Koch’s expansion plans won’t affect FNA’s plan to build a $1.7 billion nitrogen fertilizer plant in Western Canada.

“It doesn’t mean anything,” he said.

“It really doesn’t impact on our plans and on our project.”

FNA, a business alliance of farmers based in Saskatoon, is leading ProjectN: Farmers Fertilizer Alliance, in which farmers will own and share the profits of a proposed nitrogen fertilizer plant.

Friesen said there is ample space in the North American marketplace for expansions of existing facilities and construction of new nitrogen plants because Canadian and U.S. farmers import 11 to 12 million tonnes of nitrogen fertilizer a year.

Don Pottinger, chief executive officer of Northern Plains Nitrogen, a proposed $1.7 billion plant in Grand Forks, North Dakota, that is supported by corn growers and other producer groups in the state, agreed with Friesen’s assessment.

He said North America’s production deficit means the nitrogen market can accommodate several new plants. Koch’s investment also confirms that there is an opportunity for nitrogen production in North Dakota, he added.

“It says the drivers for the Northern Plains nitrogen plant are recognized by more than us,” said Pottinger, who used to work at the nitrogen plant in Bran-

Fertilizer manufacturers are looking to take a cut of the millions of tonnes of nitrogen fertilizer imported for North American growers with new production facilities in Canada and the United States. | FILE PHOTO don before moving to Minnesota.

“Sixty percent of the nitrogen fertilizer that’s used in the United States is imported. And in the northern Plains, it’s much higher than that….

The (Koch) addition, it’s a drop in the bucket really.”

Friesen said the ProjectN model is distinct because FNA plans to sell nitrogen to farmers who own the plant.

“It’s not about introducing competition. It’s about farmers owning their own plant and capturing the manufacturing margin.”

Friesen compared the business model to building a feed mill on his farm when he raised turkeys and hogs near Wawanesa, Man. “We weren’t throwing the feed out into the open market,” he said.

“We built the feed mill to capture the manufacturing margin for product that we ourselves were growing and creating demand for.”

Friesen said 2,300 farmers are participating in ProjectN, representing 10 million acres of Canadian farmland and $8 million in investment.

However, FNA continues to recruit Canadian farmers, asking them to buy seed capital units that will be used for project development.

FNA has two major objectives for 2014: partner with an major investor and launch an equity campaign that will ask farmers to invest directly into the nitrogen plant.

“Our number one priority right now is to get an MOU (memorandum of understanding) with a strategic, third party investor, and secondly, to get the farmer participation higher,” he said.

FNA has hired BMO Capital Markets to seek out a partner.

Friesen said it’s an excellent time to attract investors for a fertilizer plant because North America’s grain industry is thriving.

“We saw a report at an investor conference in New York last year, where the companies are quite unapologetic about showing investors the financial health of farmers,” he said. “(They) believe the demand for nitrogen will remain strong because farmers will try to maximize their yields.”

Pottinger said Northern Plains Nitrogen is also seeking a major investor for its plant, but North Dakota farmers have also contributed several million dollars to the project.

“For potential investors it’s such a great story, to say that growers in the area are (depending) on imported

Weaker loonie, lower costs boost Buhler profits despite reduced international sales

BY D’ARCE MCMILLAN SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Buhler Industries posted record profit on slightly lower revenue last year.

The Winnipeg company saw sales drop to $344 million from the record $361 million set in the previous year.

Profit rose to $19.89 million from $16.36 million the previous year,

helped by a more favourable exchange rate on the Canadian dollar, improved margins and lower operating costs.

The sales reduction was caused by lower demand in Eastern Europe, mostly Russia, and competitive conditions in North America, although sales increased in the United States and Canada, the company said.

Yury Ryazanov, chief executive offi-

cer and director, said in the annual report that after buying companies and production facilities over the past few years, Buhler focused last year on marketing its tractors and seeding, harvesting and handling equipment under the Versatile and Farm King brands by expanding its network of dealers.

It also invested in its recently acquired plants to increase capacity,

improve quality and lower costs, he said.

The company did not issue dividends, choosing to reinvest profit into research and development of new products. In 2013 it invested $8.5 million into research and development.

The company released its new Versatile four-track articulated tractor called the DeltaTrack last year and also started production of the Versa-

tile 260, 290 and 310 front wheel assist fixed-frame tractors powered by a Cummins QSL 9.0 engine.

Farm King introduced new augers, snow blowers and a fertilizer applicator.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, a measure of cash flow from operations, rose 28 percent to a record $35.2 million.

TERMINAL SALE | FARMER VOTE

Farmers to vote on sale of Lethbridge terminal Viterra expands | The company also plans to build in Grimshaw, Alta.

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Approximately 150 southern Alberta farmer shareholders will vote Jan. 17 on an agreement to sell Lethbridge Inland Terminal to Viterra.

A purchase agreement for the 42,000 tonne grain facility was reached in late December, and the LIT board of directors is unanimously recommending that its shareholders approve the transaction. The price has not been disclosed.

LIT board chair Darcy Heggie said Jan. 2 that further details will not be revealed until shareholders review the information circular mailed Dec. 23 and then vote later this month.

“It’s a large deal and it’s very important to all parties involved and we just want to make sure that, when we talk, the shareholder meeting is behind us. Then we can give a better perspective on what’s happened and the future,” said Heggie.

LIT, the second largest farmerowned grain terminal in the province, is located on a 220-acre property 20 kilometres southeast of Lethbridge near the junction of highways 4 and 845. It sits on a main rail line to the United States.

LIT also operates a fertilizer plant on the site, which is co-owned by UFA. It is unclear whether that is included in the deal, and Heggie said he was unable to comment on that point.

LIT received its first load of grain Aug. 28, 2008, after an 18-month construction period and an initial capital investment of $23 million.

Its shareholder members include individual producers, farm corpora-

tions and Hutterite colonies, all of which farm more than 1.5 million acres of land.

If the deal proceeds, LIT would be among Viterra’s largest terminals in Alberta.

Viterra president Kyle Jeworski said in a Dec. 28 news release that the terminal’s condition and location are major assets.

“This high quality terminal is ideally located and an excellent fit in our overall asset network,” he said.

“This further builds on our commitment to the province of Alberta and the grain industry in Western Canada, and is the latest in a series of investments we’ve announced over the last several months.”

Viterra announced in November that it plans to expand a facility at Grassy Lake, Alta., also in southern Alber ta, and build a new high throughput terminal in Grimshaw, Alta., with total spending of more than $34 million.

LIT chief executive officer Norman Fodness said the proposed deal is the latest in numerous changes occurring within the grain handling industry.

“In general terms in Western Canada, there’s been lots of different things taking place in the last three or four years. There’s been the Viterra deal in itself,” he said, referring to the Regina company’s sale to Swiss commodity firm Glencore Xstrata slightly more than a year ago.

“The ag business on the grain handling side of the business has been pretty active for the last three or four years. This last three years, in my opinion, have seen more fundamental change than it’s ever seen and I

don’t think the change is finished.”

LIT has 14 employees and Jeworski indicated they may join Viterra if the deal is approved.

“I think we’ve had a pretty customer service-oriented business model, and I think it’s Viterra’s intent to continue with that and enhance it in some ways,” Fodness said.

A Minnesota company is expanding into Canada to take advantage of the growing demand for tile drainage.

Prinsco Inc. of Willmar, Minn., announced just before Christmas it had bought AccuPipe, a high density polyethylene pipe manufacturer in Winkler, Man. In addition to the Winkler plant, Prinsco plans to build a drainage pipe manufacturing facility in Taber, Alta., this year.

“Our company vision is to provide industry leading solutions for agricultural efficiency and water quality, which is critically important on the Canadian Prairies,” said Jamie Dunnick, Prinsco owner, in a statement.

Chris Unrau, who operates Precision Land Solutions, a Winkler company that installs tile drainage across Manitoba, formed AccuPipe in 2012 to support his core business.

“We’ve seen so much demand for our services in recent years that we’ve had difficulty obtaining supply of pipe,” Unrau said in June 2012.

“We didn’t have much of a choice; we had to do something to keep our equipment running and help our clients meet their production goals.”

Over the last decade, dozens of Manitoba growers have opted for drainage tile to manage soil moisture, prevent crop damage in excep-

tionally wet years and increase the value of their land.

Most of the drainage tile in Manitoba has been installed under potato land, but oilseed farmers are also spending $700 to $800 per acre on tile.

Anecdotal evidence suggests drainage tile can increase yields by 15 to 20 percent and remove the standing water caused by 100 millimetre rainstorms.

Unrau said Prinsco, which has formed a new division called Prinsco Canada, will offer an expanded product line.

“We are excited about being able to focus our time and resources on the installation side of the business,” he said.

“Prinsco Canada and Precision Land Solutions will continue to work closely together to advance the use of water management practices.”

Prinsco, which started in 1975, operates pipe-manufacturing plants in Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, California, South Dakota, North Dakota and Wisconsin.
