Livestock producers get insurance Risk management | New program available to hog and cattle producers provides stability CAMROSE BUREAU

A price insurance program that has proved popular with Alberta livestock producers is now available to cattle and hog producers in all four western provinces.

The Western Livestock Price Insurance Program is designed to protect against roller coaster prices by allowing producers to lock in a minimum price, similar to crop insurance.

Canadian Cattlemen’s Association president Martin Unrau said expanding the program to other provinces will add stability and help the industry to grow in Western Canada.

“The crop industry has had this base, which has allowed them to get lower interest rates on operation loans,” Unrau said when the insurance pilot program was announced in Camrose Jan. 24.

“That will now transfer into the

cattle industry. As soon as cattle farmers, feeders, finishers recognize that, they will realize this program is not just getting the payout at the end of the day if the prices fall. It is also about saving the interest rates on the loans.”

The Cattle Price Insurance Program has been available to Alberta producers since 2009 and is a popular risk management tool for cattle producers.

In 2013, 900,000 of Alberta’s three

million cattle and 13,000 of the province’s one million hogs were insured by 3,800 cattle and eight hog producers.

Federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz said the program, which is available for feeder and fed cattle as well as calves, will be reassessed after four years. Insurance on feeder cattle has made up the largest use of the program in Alberta.

Ontario Pork producers are bracing themselves after two positive cases and a possible third case of PED were discovered in Ontario farms over the past week.

If the virus were to spread across Canada, within one year it would cause an estimated $45 million in damage to the Canadian hog industry, said Amy Cronin, a hog farmer and chair of Ontario Pork.

The first positive case in a 500 sow farrow to finish barn in Middlesex County was announced Jan. 23 and almost 100 percent of the two- to fiveday old pigs in the barn have died.

The second case in a 3,000-sow finisher barn in nearby Chatham/ Kent region was confirmed on the weekend.

West gets insurance Saskatchewan agriculture minister Lyle Stewart said farmers have asked for tools to help offset the volatility of livestock prices.

“By providing livestock price insurance across Western Canada, we will be able to level the playing field insuring all producers have access to an important risk management tool.”

Alberta will be the central administrative body for the program. In Saskatchewan, livestock producers can access livestock insurance through the crop insurance program. Manitoba is part of the program, but was not included in the announcement because of byelections in the province. British Columbia will also be part of the program.

Unrau, former head of the Manitoba Cattle Producers Association, said producers have looked enviously at Alberta’s program since it was introduced four years ago.

“It will be a tremendous, tremendous benefit to us as cattle producers. It is another tool we can use to manage price and basis risk for all the Canadian industry.… This program offers increased stability for the whole industry.”

CCA vice-chair Dave Solverson

said expanding the insurance program would end the distortion in cattle markets.

“When a risk management program is only available in one region, it can tend to artificially distort movement in the feeders,” he said.

“This will restore market driven competitive business environment.”

Solverson said he and his brother have insured all the cattle they have marketed for the past two years.

“When the price of feed doubled and one of the major processors was down, cattle price insurance absorbed the volatile price movement.”

He said the unplanned bonus of the price insurance program is reversing the amount of forward contracts that producers sign with processors. Buying price insurance eliminates the need to contract finished cattle and allows producers to take advantage of cash pricing by packers.

“We have been able to insure to the level ver y close to the contract offered by the packers,” he said.

“This has given us the confidence to leave our cattle available to the cash market. Fed cattle selling this week are returning $10 more than the January contract.”

NATURAL GAS | ANIMAL WELFARE

Man. rupture disables barns

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

A natural gas pipeline explosion south of Winnipeg Jan. 25 disrupted service to Fred Fast’s hog barns, but he and his staff rigged up portable heaters and diesel generators to keep weanlings warm and prevent waterlines from freezing.

Fast, who manages and is a partner in a couple of hog operations near Marchand, Man., said Jan. 26 was a chaotic day of scrambling and troubleshooting.

Thanks to the help of electricians and dedicated staff, the animals are doing fine.

“All our heat is natural gas in the barns,” he said.

“We’re very fortunate. We have good tradesmen and suppliers, and my barn managers are just the best.”

A TransCanada natural gas pipeline exploded near Otterburne, Man., in the early morning hours of Jan. 25, cutting off gas to thousands of households in southeastern Manitoba while temperatures dropped to -30 C. The shutdown affected dozens of

hog, chicken and dairy barns in a region of Manitoba with a high concentration of livestock operations.

Fast said 200 or more barns were likely affected.

“I think easily. There were so many chicken farms that are still (without natural gas,” he said. “Lots of people I work with, their hog barns are all out.

I think easily that number.”

Ma n i t o b a Tu rk e y P ro d u c e r s spokesperson Bill Uruski said approximately five turkey barns are located in the area without natural gas.

Several of those producers rely on propane, but others had to install electric heaters to keep poults warm.

“All in all, they’ve weathered it fairly well,” he said.

Lorne Loeppky, a grain and hog producer near Niverville, Man., also lost service following the explosion.

He said waterlines are a major concern.

“We’ve plugged in heaters where he can to keep the water from freezing in certain rooms,” he said. “I guess we’re getting by.”

Natural gas service was expected to resume late Jan. 27 or Jan. 28.

Grain handling system studied Transportation analysis | $3.2 million will fund a study to examine rail capacity

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Farmers frustrated by their inability to reliably move grain to market are taking another look at logistical problems affecting Canada’s grain handling and transportation system.

Canola, wheat, pulse and soy growers, as well as industr y groups involved in the grain, oilseed, pulse and special crops trade, announced last week that they will spend $3.2 million over the next five years looking for ways to measure and improve the system’s capacity to get products to market on time.

Ottawa is contributing $1.5 million to the effort, which will be led by Pulse Canada and supported by a variety of industry groups, including the Canadian Canola Growers Association, the Alberta Wheat Commission, the soy growers of the Manitoba Pulse Growers Association, members of the Western Grain Elevators Association, the Inland Terminal Association and the Canadian Special Crops Association.

The initiative was announced in Winnipeg as Canada’s farmers struggle to market a record crop that was harvested last fall.

Greg Cherewyk, chief operating officer with Pulse Canada, said the initiative will not focus solely on the performance of Canada’s major railway companies. Instead, it will look at all components in the Canadian supply chain.

“I don’t want to make it about the (rail) situation … but there are some interesting facts out there,” Cherewyk said Jan. 22.

“As of yesterday, (we’ve got) 28 grain vessels waiting for product at Port Metro Vancouver. We know that prairie terminals are at or near capacity and we know that year-todate, we’re about 40,000 cars behind (grain industry expectations). To me, all of this means that we’re not meeting our customers’ needs.

“There’s no question that we’ve got a tarnished reputation, and this is only furthering that (perception).…

Right now, we’re telling buyers to go elsewhere for their grain.”

Frustration is growing across the West over the transportation system’s apparent inability to move Canadian grain quickly enough into the global marketplace.

Wade Sobkowich, executive director of the Western Grain Elevators Association, said the project announced last week is part of a longterm process aimed at identifying problems and implementing solutions.

One of the project’s objectives is to identify key performance indicators in the grain handling and transportation system and develop standardized methods of measurement.

However, the project will not provide short-term relief to the current problems facing the grain industry, he added.

“It’s a five year project to gather data … on how the industry is performing in a number of different areas,” Sobkowich said.

Federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz said Ottawa’s $1.5 contribution to the initiative is part of an ongoing commitment aimed at improving the efficiency of Canada’s grain export pipeline.

“This project will help ensure the industry has the right tools and processes in place to achieve measurable improvements in supply chain performance, leading to greater profitability,” he said in news release.

The announcement prompted a less-than-enthusiastic reaction in other circles.

Lynn Jacobson, president of the Alberta Federation of Agriculture, said the grain industry has been calling on Ottawa for years to take concrete steps aimed at improving rail service. Until it takes concrete steps to improve market access, farmers will continue to ship grain as quickly as rail companies see fit to move it.

“We’ve been down this road before and nothing’s been solved.”

“There’s a reluctance by the federal government to touch the railroads.”

Deadly piglet virus draws concern from Canadian industry, producers While PED doesn’t affect older pigs as much, 15 to 20 percent of the pigs in the barn are showing clinical signs of vomiting and diarrhea, said Dr. Greg Douglas, Ontario’s chief veterinary officer during a conference call Jan. 27.

Pigs in a third suspected case in a 2,000 head finisher barn, also in the Chatham-Kent region, are showing signs similar to the second case.

Douglas said an ongoing investigation from sampling and surveillance identified other areas of concern and officials are investigating.

“We are still are under the impression there are strategies we can work

on to help mitigate and slow the spread of this virus in Ontario. However the confirmed second case and the third under suspicion certainly does change the reality here in Ontario,” said Douglas of Guelph.

Ontario is Canada’s second-biggest hog-producing province, after Quebec.

Olymel, one of Canada’s biggest pork processors, also detected the virus at an unloading dock of its Saint-Esprit slaughter facility northeast of Montreal.

PED is not a concern for food safety or other animals, but it is deadly to young pigs. The disease has been

endemic in Asia for years and causes chronic problems. The disease was first identified in the United States and has killed more than three million pigs in the U.S. and infected 15 to 20 percent of the barns.

Cronin said hog producers are worried.

“We do understand this will be tough on the Ontario industry. It all depends on where it goes from here.”

The source of the virus is unknown, but Ontario’s chief provincial veterinarian said investigators are retracing the activity of trucks, people and animals on the southwestern Ontario farm.

Dr. Harpreet Kochhar, chief veterinary officer for Canada, said there are no plans to close the border to American pigs. The Canadian pig industry depends on U.S. markets for sales, but few pigs are imported to Canada.

It’s likely the virus hitched a ride back on a truck through contaminated manure.

None of the pigs, either dead or alive, have left the farm, but Ontario does not have the legal ability to quarantine the barn. The owners are co-operating to help stop the spread of the disease.

Douglas said they haven’t ruled out any future actions, including intro-

ducing regulatory controls.

“As chief veterinarian for Ontario, my chief concern is to prevent the spread of a hazard in a realistic, logical fashion.”

Alberta swine veterinarian Dr. Egan Brockhoff said after the discovery of the first case, Alberta officials carried out an electronic trace and called all producers, and could not find any boars or gilts that moved from Ontario to Alberta in the past month. None of the barns bred purebred pigs for sale.

Farmers should be exploring opportunities to ship their wheat to the United States, says a Manitoba farm leader.

Doug Chorney, president of Keystone Agricultural Producers, sold his entire spring wheat crop last week to a major U.S. grain company for more than $6 per bushel.

He said he will net $5.75 per bu. after paying to load his 17,000 bu. of wheat onto producer cars. Ninety percent of it will be paid up front.

The best quote he had from elevator companies in the Winnipeg area where he farms was $4.69 per bu.

“That’s a heck of a difference,” said Chorney.

He will be netting an extra $18,000 for his No. 2 Canada Western Red Spring 12.5 percent protein wheat by shipping it to the United States.

“That’s a lot of money to leave on the table for farmers, so I really encourage producers to investigate these options,” said Chorney.

He believes his wheat will move on the Lake Line short-line railway in February.

Chorney said quotes for No. 1 CWRS 13.5 percent wheat at Manitoba Ag Days were $4.50 to $4.80 per bu.

“I find $5.75 pretty disappointing. I can’t imagine living with $4.50 a bushel,” he said.

“When you look at the cost of growing a crop right now, that is below the cost of production, I’m nearly sure, depending on your yield, of course.”

Chorney said his U.S. deal is proof that prices quoted at elevators in Western Canada do not reflect reality.

“You know pretty quickly there is something drastically wrong here.”

However, he doesn’t believe grain companies are to blame for that conundrum.

“I don’t think it’s that at all. This is just a clear, clear financial indicator of how much this is costing farmers when you have poor rail service,” said Chorney.

Some growers are convinced they are being gouged by the grain companies based on a comparison of prices at the West Coast versus the local elevator.

Agriculture Canada data shows west coast prices for No. 1 CWRS 13.5 percent wheat and No. 1 CWAD 13 percent durum have barely budged since Aug. 2, while the average prices for those two commodities at a collection of Saskatchewan elevators have fallen by one-third over the same time frame.

The west coast prices are asking prices rather than actual sales.

Charlie Pearson, provincial crops market analyst with Alberta Agriculture, said some farmers become irate when they see that the selling price for grain on the West Coast hasn’t moved while the inland buying price has plummeted.

However, he said the comparison is deceiving. Most of the ships at the West Coast are being filled with grain that was forward priced in the fall or early winter.

The west coast cash price mainly reflects the small amount of trade

between grain terminals to top up a vessel that might be a little short of a particular type of wheat.

“There is always kind of a cash market in Vancouver that will look after that 5,000 tonnes or whatever it is,” he said.

Pearson said growers wonder how much of the basis at their local elevators reflects actual costs and how much is caused by widening grain company margins.

“There are some additional costs for sure, but I would expect there would be some additional profits in the system as well,” he said.

Errol Anderson, an analyst with ProMarket Wire, doesn’t believe grain companies are making out like bandits.

“Sure, the margins are going to be way bigger than normal but they’re going to move a lot less (grain), too,” he said.

Anderson said grain companies are paying extra storage and demurrage fees these days.

“Everybody thinks the grain companies are getting rich over this.

They’re not.”

He said the unattractive basis is primarily a message to growers that grain companies don’t want their grain. That message could be around for the remainder of the crop year or even longer, he added.

Pearson also worries that the transportation problem will linger.

Road bans could be in effect by late March and seeding will be underway in some areas by April, so the window for moving the significant amounts of grain stored on farms is rapidly closing.

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

BANFF, Alta. — The first appearance of porcine epidemic diarrhea in Canada comes as economists begin forecasting profits for the industry for the first time in years.

Low interest rates, reduced feed costs and a declining Canadian dollar are positive signs for the Canadian hog industry, officials and economists said at the Banff Pork Seminar last week.

J.P. Gervais, chief agriculture economist at Farm Credit Canada, called it “moderate optimism.”

The outlook isn’t strong enough to expect producers to take on new debt or see widespread expansion right away, but operations that have struggled are likely to begin repairing balance sheets after several volatile years.

Gervais said operations with 3,000 or more sows have probably broken even over the least three or four years, but smaller producers have lost money for as many as seven.

He said feed costs over the next year will favour producers in Western Canada, where the price of barley has dropped significantly, over eastern growers, who have already seen a dip in corn prices.

“Looking into the future for the next 18 months, profitabilities look really positive,” said Gervais.

PED was the elephant in the room at the Banff Pork Seminar. The deadly virus has devastated American producers, resulting in millions of hog deaths — primarily piglets — and costing producers hundreds of millions of dollars since it first

STEVE MEYER PARAGON ECONOMICS

appeared last spring.

The first confirmed cases of the virus were discovered in a barn in southwestern Ontario last week.

“It’s looking like a great 2014 and unfortunately PED might take some of those profits away,” said Claude Vielfaure of Hylife.

Steve Meyer of Paragon Economics said PED has yet to be priced into the market because the first impact on slaughter numbers didn’t appear in December. Cases of the virus, which thrives in cold weather, escalated in the U.S. over the fall. Hogs in that country are carrying more weight, both because of lower feed costs and PED, but it won’t make up the difference.

“We’re just into the losses of pigs from this,” said Meyer.

Meyer had expected futures market prices to rise through the spring to numbers in the high $90s, but he has changed his forecast because of the widespread affect of PED. “We think we’re going to go well above $100,” said Meyer.

At the same time, Meyer expects American producers to expand the sow herd by two or three percent in the coming years.

A lower Canadian dollar, hovering around 90 cents relative to the U.S. at press time, is expected to see more animals sent to the United States.

WEYBURN INLAND TERMINAL | SALE PENDING

P&H offer goes to Weyburn terminal shareholders $94.6 million | Two Weyburn board members against the sale resigned, saying it was a disservice to farmer shareholders

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

One of Western Canada’s first and largest farmer-owned grain terminals could soon be turned over to a private-sector grain company.

Weyburn Inland Terminal announced Jan. 24 that it has agreed to sell all outstanding shares in the company to Parrish & Heimbecker for $94.6 million, or $17.25 per share.

Rob Davies, chief executive officer of WIT, said the agreement with P&H is expected to boost WIT’s grain handling volumes and ensure that its customers have reliable access to world markets through P&H. He said board members are unanimously recommending the sale to shareholders.

He added that the $17.25 per share valuation represents a 33.7 percent premium over WIT share prices as of

Dec. 12, 2013, the day WIT board members announced they were considering offers to sell.

Parrish & Heimbecker is a 105-year-old Canadian company involved in most aspects of the grain business.

Davies said the company’s reputation and its experience in the industry were important considerations.

“P&H is a company that we have a lot of respect for,” he said.

“They’re very experienced in a lot of areas and they have very good channels in both domestic processing and international markets…. The things that we felt were important to ensure a strong competitive environment were all there.”

WIT has 1,500 shareholders who own 5.5 million outstanding common shares.

The company’s assets include a 105,000 tonne concrete grain termi-

nal at Weyburn, fertilizer and farm input retail operations and a specialty crop processing and marketing firm near Sedley, Sask.

WIT also has a controlling interest in NorAmera BioEnergy Corp., an ethanol production facility in Weyburn, which has recently been identified as a drain on its overall profitably.

The deal to sell the company is subject to approval by two-thirds of WIT shareholders.

Approval will be sought at a meeting scheduled for late February or early March.

Support among WIT investors is not a sure thing.

In mid-December, shortly after WIT announced that it was considering expressions of interest from potential buyers, two members of the WIT board — Allan Richards of Rouleau, Sask., and Dale Mainil of Weyburn — announced their resig-

nations, citing fundamental differences with other directors.

Mainil said earlier this week that he feels a decision to sell the company would be a disservice to farmers and investors.

“I’m totally not in support of either the price or of selling … the Weyburn Inland Terminal,” said Mainil.

“The Weyburn Inland Terminal over its histor y has had a lot tougher issues than this to tackle, and it has come out stronger every time when it (bases its decisions on) the overall shareholder base,” he said.

“That’s what built this company. It was a bunch of farmers and good local investors that built it and it’s turned out to be a very profitable business … so why would we sell it for a minimal short-term gain?”

Mainil disputed statements suggesting that the $17.25 share valuation represents a significant premi-

um over mid-December values of less than $12 per share.

He said WIT shares were trading at $16 per share as recently as last week.

He said P & H is a well-respected company, but that is no reason to sell a farmer-owned company whose operations outside of ethanol have consistently generated positive returns.

Shareholder liquidity is a concern for all publicly traded companies from time to time, he added, but those could be addressed through other means.

Parrish & Heimbecker vice-president John Heimbecker said in a news release that the acquisition of WIT would be a good fit.

“WIT will fit very well within P & H’s existing network of grain assets…. We expect the proposed acquisition to be beneficial both to producers and the Weyburn community.”

GRAIN TRANSPORTATION | CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS

Unreliable rail service draws attention from investors, foreign buyers

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Saskatchewan’s premier says the grain transportation quagmire is c au s i n g l o s t s a l e s i n A s i a a n d potentially missed opportunities for international investment in the province.

“The situation is increasingly serious,” Brad Wall told reporters during a Jan. 22 scrum at the legislative building in Regina.

“There is certainly more and more concern every day in terms of when

we can move the grain to the ports.”

Thirty-seven ships were waiting to be loaded with grain at the Port of Vancouver at the time he made his comments.

“The port itself is probably half capacity and yet we have the elevator system plugged and there’s a car issue.”

It will be the most important item on the agenda when Wall meets with his Alberta and British Columbia counterparts in March as part of the New West Partnership Trade Agreement.

While participating in a trade mission to Southeast Asia last fall, Wall spoke to a major wheat miller from the Philippines who told him he no longer buys wheat from Canada during December and January because of concerns it won’t arrive when needed.

The conversation made such an impression on Wall that he had a chat with prime minister Stephen Harper about the miller’s concerns when he returned.

Wall also heard from a company planning to build a pulse crop han-

dling facility near Hanley, Sask.

Company executives told him they were happy with the chosen location, the province’s business climate and the crop mix of area farmers. However, they had serious reservations about rail service.

“They were moving ahead, doing the planning, doing the due diligence and found out from the rail companies that they simply couldn’t get the spots they needed,” Wall said.

He said the project is still on the books, but it highlights how transportation bottlenecks are hampering

Saskatchewan’s ability to expand its agriculture sector.

Carl Potts, executive director of Saskatchewan Pulse Growers, isn’t surprised to hear customers complaining about Canada’s unreliable rail service.

“Having worked in export market development for a number of years, it’s certainly something we hear and have heard from customers,” he said.

“I would imagine that’s even larger in a year like this when we have this large of a crop to move.”

Prairie soybeans poised for growth Growers hunt for seed | More than 1.5 million acres of soybeans could be seeded on the Prairies in 2014

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Seed sales in Saskatchewan and grower intentions in Manitoba indicate that soybean area on the Prairies could exceed 1.5 million acres this spring.

Claude Durand, product development manager w ith Nor thStar Genetics, one of the largest soybean seed dealers in Manitoba, said sales in Saskatchewan are booming.

“Already, our seed bookings in Saskatchewan have doubled over last year,” he said at the NorthStar booth at Manitoba Ag Days, the annual ag expo in Brandon, during the third

week of January.

NorthStar usually sells most of its soybean seed before Christmas, but this year has been exceptional.

“Typically at this time of year, most of our (seed) bookings are done.

We’re still getting bookings in, especially out west,” Durand said.

Saskatchewan farmers planted an estimated 170,000 acres of soybeans last year. If NorthStar sales are indicative of grower adoption, Saskatchewan acres may hit 350,000 this year.

Dennis Lange, a Manitoba Agriculture farm production adviser who spoke at Ag Days, polled soybean growers in the audience to gauge planting intentions.

The largest share of growers said they plan to increase their soybean acres by 10 to 30 percent, which mirrors Lange’s expectations.

Manitoba area will increase from 1.08 million acres last year to 1.3 million this year if it’s assumed that seeding will rise 20 percent, which is the mid-range of estimates.

When combining the early estimates, 1.65 million acres of beans might be planted in Manitoba and Saskatchewan this spring.

Lange told the Ag Days meeting it is possible for Manitoba to reach two million acres of soybeans, but it will likely take five or more years.

“We have to manage our rotations;

you can’t just flop all of your acres to one crop,” he said. “(Plus), you’ve got to learn a lot of things when you start growing a new crop.”

Soybean industry representatives have said further acreage gains would have to occur outside Manitoba’s Red River Valley because that region is nearly maxed out.

Those expectations became reality last year when the rural municipalities of Dauphin and Bifrost in Manitoba’s Interlake posted the biggest acreage gains of all RMs relative to 2012.

Lange also listed 25 RMs that had sizable acreage gains last year, many

of which were in non-traditional soybean regions, including southwestern Manitoba.

On the negative side, many farmers planted varieties that weren’t appropriate for their growing region.

Durand said supply of early maturing varieties was insufficient last year because the 2012 drought in Manitoba constricted soybean seed replication.

Soybean yields averaged 39 bushels per acre last year in the province, boosting the amount and variety of seed available this winter.

Still, Durand said growers shouldn’t wait much longer to book seed because supplies of early maturing varieties are dwindling.

Access to China advantageous for western Canadian soybeans Established relationship | Vancouver’s shorter distance to China’s growing market is an advantage as acreage grows

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Western Canadian farmers who decide to grow soybeans this year shouldn’t have a problem selling them.

“The size of the marketing opportunity is actually quite unique and very, very exciting,” said Marlene Boersch, a partner in Mercantile Consulting Venture.

“Soybeans are probably the biggest single marketing opportunity that

you will find on any of the crops.”

Saskatchewan Pulse Growers hired Boersch to investigate the long-term marketing potential for a crop that is generating mounting interest from the province’s growers.

A U.S. Department of Agriculture projection shows that global soybean demand will increase by 51.8 million tonnes by 2024-25. China w ill account for 47.6 million tonnes of the increase.

China has been the driver in soybean markets for some time, with

imports rising to 63.4 million tonnes in 2012-13 from 17 million tonnes in 2003-04.

The USDA is forecasting about 110 million tonnes of Chinese demand in another 12 years.

It is tremendous news for growers in Western Canada because of their competitive shipping advantages to that market.

Brazil and the United States are the world’s largest soybean exporters.

Boersch said Canada is the handsdown winner when comparing sail-

ing times to China from Vancouver, Mobile, Alabama and Santos, Brazil.

“We made some comparisons in terms of distance and sailing times with our major competitors, and that is a very, very positive story for us,” she told Crop Sphere 2014.

It takes about 18 days for a vessel to sail from Vancouver to China, 35 days from Mobile and 39 days from Santos.

Boersch said 75 percent of U.S. soybean exports to China move through the Gulf of Mexico and the rest are

shipped through ports in the U.S. Pacific Northwest.

U.S. soybeans shipped through Pacific Northwest ports would have a slight shipping advantage compared to Canadian soybeans.

However, there is no comparison for the three-quarters that move through the Gulf. Ocean freight rates to China from Vancouver are $22 per tonne compared to $45 per tonne for beans shipped out of the Gulf.

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE “It puts you into a very good position to participate in that increasing market from the West Coast,” she said.

It is a much more preferable market outlook than a crop like wheat, where most of the growth will be in markets such as Africa and the Middle East.

Canada is at a shipping disadvantage there to competitors in South America and the Black Sea region.

Boersch said U.S. soybean exports are forecast to remain stead over the next 12 years, and China will rely heavily on Brazil to fill its growing demand.

“To achieve this from South America would be a major challenge,” she said.

Not only would it be difficult for Brazil to grow that many beans, but it would be a major hurdle to get all the extra production to market because of Brazil’s ongoing transportation challenges.

It is why the global soybean supply and demand outlook looks so promising for an up-and-comer like Western Canada.

Boersch said Canada has long established relationships with Chinese canola buyers, and many of those companies also trade soybeans.

“We know the buyers. We know the route. We know the market channels,” she said.

Boersch thinks there is more opportunity growing and selling genetically modified soybeans than non-GM soybeans.

She said the non-GM market is expected to grow by 1.1 million tonnes over the next 12 years compared to a total increase in demand of 51.8 million tonnes.

China’s 12 million tonnes of annual soybean production is all non-GM. T h e c o u nt r y t y p i c a l l y e x p o r t s 200,000 to 450,000 tonnes a year and has the potential to ship more.

“That’s why the non-GM premium has a very hard time to get beyond a certain level,” said Boersch.

One other advantage when growing and shipping soybeans is that they don’t have to be cleaned at port, which could help maximize west coast port capacity.

There could also be a domestic market for soybeans. Canola crushing plants in Western Canada could be retrofitted to crush the oilseed.

Analysts aren’t forecasting big changes in the current wide basis levels and congested grain handling system, meaning farmers might as well start pricing the 2014 crop. | FILE PHOTO MARKETING | STRATEGY

Farmers advised to shop crop around Prices changing daily | Delivery opportunities can pop up one day and close the same day

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

BRANDON — Get marketing but also get shopping, adviser Brenda Tjaden Lepp of FarmLink Marketing Solutions told farmers at Manitoba Ag Days.

There’s no reason to hold back from moving old crop and contracting delivery for new crop, but farmers shouldn’t just take whatever bid their usual buyer is offering.

“You’ve got to shop around bids,” said Tjaden Lepp during the Manitoba Canola Growers market outlook session.

“There is a dollar to two dollars a bushel difference between buyers on

any given day in every community.”

Tjaden Lepp said basis volatility is wild across the Prairies. It can change by dozens of dollars a tonne at a moment’s notice, and often is a meaningless concept if grain companies aren’t actually accepting crop at that location.

“When there’s no bid, you don’t have a posted basis,” said Tjaden Lepp.

The average basis for canola in central Saskatchewan recently was about $50 under, but on the day she spoke the basis in Yorkton, Sask., was just $35 under, she said. However, that could disappear any time, which was the point. For instance, she said one grain company had been offer-

ing a $55 under basis, improved it to $38 under for 18 hours and then pushed it back out to $52 under.

The same instability also applies to delivery possibilities.

For example, an eastern Alberta grain elevator had been plugged, was suddenly able to move some crop, offered a cash price of $9 per bushel for canola and found lots of farmers rushing to respond.

“It lasted an hour and a half” before the offer was ended.

Tjaden Lepp said farmers don’t have a good reason to hold back from contracting off the combine or early 2014-15 sales because the appalling basis levels and glutted grain system will remain well into the new crop

year. Farmers hate to lock in historically bad basis levels, but cash flow requirements need to be balanced against that reluctance.

“Don’t just know that (you need to make harvest time sales),” said Tjaden Lepp.

“You have to have a plan to deal with that. I’d get that plan moving sooner rather than later, otherwise you could be out of luck.”

The same goes for selling old crop now. There’s no reason, based on fundamentals of supply and demand, to justify generally better prices, so farmers need to make sales.

The best bet for getting a better return is to get the best basis possible, which is done by calling around.

Lingering effects of BSE continue to limit American beef exports to Asia

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

DENVER, Colo. — The United States posted record beef exports in recent years, but sales might have been better if not for BSE. While 2012 was a record export year and 2013 is shaping up to be even better at $6 billion worth of sales, the curse of BSE still taints market opportunities, said Phil Seng, head of the U.S. Meat Export Federation.

The U.S. probably lost at least $16 billion in sales and spent $10 million a year since 2004 in recovery, he told the International Livestock Congress in Denver Jan. 13.

Increased audits, carcass segregation, inspections and trade missions have increased packer costs. Many countries still limit the trade to beef from animals younger than 30 months.

And while the U.S. was shut out, other competitors stepped into the lucrative Asian market.

The U.S. now competes against Australia, Canada, Mexico and New Zealand in the wealthy markets of Japan, South Korea and China.

Mexico is the newest entrant into Japan and its exports have grown nearly 50 percent in recent years, promoting “tasty beef from the sunshine country.”

“Our competition is very export focused,” Seng said.

New Zealand exports 80 percent of its beef, and Australia follows closely at 60 percent. Seng said they are masters at customer service.

“They will meet the specs of whatever country they are dealing in, and this is a huge advantage,” he said.

“The United States is always looking at the domestic market first and then maybe international as an after-

thought.”

The U.S. exports 15 to 19 percent of its beef. Mexico, Japan and Canada are the prime destinations.

Changes to BSE trade rules at the World Organization for Animal Health have improved access to many markets. It also opens the door to new competitors.

Ireland, France, the Netherlands and Poland have been approved to ship beef to Japan. The European Union’s decision to triple funds for international promotion of agricultural products helped their efforts.

The EU has become more export oriented, especially on pork and beef.

“We are starting to see a ver y aggressive push by a lot of European markets in the Asian theatre, not only in Japan but in South Korea and China,” Seng said.

Still, the U.S. has had considerable success in Japan, even though it can

ship only youthful beef and is still subject to a 38.5 percent tariff. U.S. beef exports to Japan were up more than 50 percent at the end of November from the same time last year.

The BSE experience taught the U.S. that its all or nothing approach to regaining market access did not work.

“We got a lot of nothing. That approach is still out there,” Seng said.

However, the best customers for U.S. beef remain Mexico and Canada. Continuing disagreements over country-of-origin labelling laws in the U.S. and threatened retaliation from Canada must be taken seriously.

“We don’t want to do anything that will jeopardize those kind of sales because probably 40 percent of exports either go north or south, so it is very important how we deal with Canada or Mexico,” he said.

U.S. Department of Agriculture statistics as of the end of November estimated beef production for 2013 at 25.7 billion pounds, nearly the same as 2012. However, production is expected to drop to 24.3 billion lb. in 2014, said the report.

The U.S. exported 2.5 billion lb. last year and imported 2.2 billion lb.

The USDA forecasts export volumes may fall to 2.3 billion lb., with imports steady at 2.2 billion pounds.

The U.S. also imports live cattle, buying 1.3 million head from Mexico in 2012 and 750,000 from Canada.

It imported 842,390 head from M e x i c o b e t w e e n Ja n u a r y a n d November of 2013, while Canada sent 917,280. This includes all classes of cattle.

Canada imported 170,000 tonnes of U.S. beef in 2012, which accounts for 17 percent of its consumption.

Despite profits, cattle herd isn’t expanding Beef profitability improving | Producers are seeing positive margins, but aren’t making moves to expand operations

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

High profitability is not persuading beef producers to add cows to their herds.

Brian Perillat of Canfax says it is probably the result of low long-term profits and the fact that there are more profitable ways to use an acre of prairie land than grazing or growing hay.

“They have seen some positive margins, but what’s the real incentive to grow cattle versus grain,” said Perillat in a presentation at Manitoba Ag Days.

Grain has been more profitable, he added.

More “has been on the grain side.”

American farmers have begun rebuilding their herds, which shrank during the years of high grain prices and consecutive droughts, but Cana-

dian farmers have not. However, the present slump in feedgrain prices and continuing high beef prices could push more cows and heifers into production this year, he said.

“This is going to be the big factor in 2014, 2015,” said Perillat.

Record high retail beef prices have allowed packers to demand high prices from grocery stores. As well, cattle feeders have been able to demand high prices from packers and cow-calf producers have been able to demand high prices for calves.

Profitability for cow-calf producers was good last year, despite high feedgrain prices, because of high beef prices. However, the profitability picture is much better now that barley and corn prices have slumped.

“This is an exciting chart, unless you’ve got grain to sell,” said Perillat, sparking a wave of chuckles from

farmers, about a price chart he showed of Lethbridge barley prices that have fallen from around $300 per tonne a year ago to about $175 now.

Cropland has for years produced much higher profits than cow-calf production, which has encouraged farmers to focus on growing crops and converting marginal hay and grassland into cropland.

Marginal land now appears to provide high beef profitability and losses for crop growers, but Perillat said the profit incentive to expand herds doesn’t appear to have provoked cattle producers yet.

Canfax estimates the herd is now 1.5 to two percent lower than it was a year ago, and recent bred cow sales in Alberta have not shown strong demand. As well, cow slaughter rates are high.

“Really, it’s a full-on liquidation, unfortunately, of the cow sector

still,” he said of the recent 14.6 percent cow slaughter rate.

Beef producers have suffered immensely since the 2003 outbreak of BSE, not only from the massive market impact caused by closed borders but also by sky-high grain prices starting in 2006.

Last year’s temporary closure of the XL Foods slaughter plant in Brooks, Alta., didn’t help, creating a big discount to U.S. prices.

Many producers have been repairing their finances from those bad years as great prices for cows, heifers and calves encourage many of them to make sales.

However, Perillat said he’ll be watching this year to see if the new market signals reverse the trend of cuts to the cow herd.

“The signals are there, but the reactions aren’t there yet,” he said.

Emerging economies hammered as Fed tapers stimulus

Argentines are feeling as their peso falls 20 percent.

Currencies are gyrating around the

world and emerging market stock prices are falling as global investors rejig their portfolios to take advan-

tage of what they think the U.S. Federal Reserve will do.

The U.S. central bank meets this week to determine its next step in the delicate art of manipulating the money supply to maintain the resurgence of the world’s largest economy.

The Fed, as it is known, had for the past few years kept its trend setting interest rates ultra low. But that was not enough to stimulate enough business activity to grow the economy.

Since September 2012 the Fed also spent $85 billion a month buying U.S. bonds. In essence, it was creating money.

The program kept commercial borrowing costs even lower and weakened the U.S. dollar.

Some of that money gushing out initially found its way into commodity markets, supporting commodity prices.

But the Fed isn’t the only force in the global economy. High commodity prices spurred increased commodity production and rationed demand. China’s explosive growth of the middle of the last decade slowed as its infrastructure spending slowed and its economy matured.

Commodity prices sagged just as the United States’ economy began to gain traction. Investors, still benefiting from that gusher of money coming from the Fed, shifted to stock markets, helping to fuel the amazing run up in U.S. stock market prices in 2013.

Some of that money also found its way into emerging markets in South America, Asia and Africa.

But late last year the Fed decided that the American economy and employment picture were showing enough strength that it could start to trim its stimulus.

In December it said it would cut its stimulus to $75 billion a month beginning this month. Now there is an expectation that it will trim the amount by another $10 billion.

This tapering of the stimulus is lifting U.S. interest rates and making the U.S. buck more attractive. It is happening at the same time that there is

MARKET WATCH

D’ARCE McMILLAN unrest in several countries, including Egypt, Thailand and Ukraine.

Investors are pulling money from the currency and markets of emerging markets.

There are several implications for Canadian farmers.

Just as a falling loonie makes it more expensive to buy American made equipment, a weaker currency in emerging countries such as India or Turkey makes it more expensive for them to buy grain priced in U.S. currency.

That can hurt demand for crops such as pulses.

Argentina’s peso has been slammed particularly hard as the government gave up defending its currency.

Argentine farmers stopped selling soybeans. Because the soybeans have a value in U.S. dollars they maintain their worth but if they sell, their payment in pesos will be devalued as the currency sinks.

It is hard to know how this will play out.

There is always a risk of contagion, with a panic sweeping through emerging markets creating the kind of disruptions seen in the currency crises of the 1990s that hit Mexico, Asia and Russia.

Lessons learned during those crises have lessened the risk of contagion.

However, the situation could cause enough of a drag on global growth that it could, ironically, depress the very growth in the U.S. that the Fed is addressing in its stimulus trimming.

OATS, SPRING WHEAT | PRICE OUTLOOK

The worst is yet to come for oats, wheat prices: analyst

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

BRANDON — Farmers who are blue about today’s futures prices for oats and spring wheat should get ready to be bluer, says technical analyst David Drozd.

He said oat futures will probably drop to $2.15 per bushel and spring wheat to $5.35.

“Oats values could be worse,” Drozd told the Manitoba Oats Growers Association’s annual meeting at Manitoba Ag Days held here Jan.

21-23. “If you’re only normally going to be locking in 15 or 20 percent (of planned new crop acreage), this year you might want to do a little more.”

Oat futures are artificially high because of the transportation problems getting them to the main U.S. oat milling areas, including Minneapolis.

Oat futures would now be $2.65 to $2.80 if it wasn’t for the problem of getting oats to Minneapolis, Drozd said.

On Jan. 27 March oats were trading around $4 a bu. and December new

crop at $2.91.

If corn futures prices are falling toward $3.80 per bu., which he believes they are, then oats will likely fall to about $2.15 per bu.

CANFAX REPORT SIGNS OF RALLY EXHAUSTION U.S. cash fed prices in the south hit a record $147 US per hundredweight, and prices in the north were $1-$2 higher than that.

Most of the dressed trade was at $240 per cwt., up $11-$12 over the previous week, but the rally might be running out of steam.

U.S. fed prices were at a strong and rising premium to Canadian prices, which prompted American buyers to be active in the Canadian market last week and helped push Canadian fed prices up $4 Cdn per cwt.

Alberta fed steers rose to $142.52 and heifers were $142.21.

Dressed trade Jan. 23 were $237$240 per cwt. delivered.

The prices that American buyers paid were at a premium over Canadian live prices. The sales volume rose one percent to 11,292 head, which was eight percent smaller than the same week last year.

The Alberta cash-to-futures basis widened $2.53 to -$17.19, the widest seen since mid-March last year.

Weekly western Canadian fed slaughter to Jan. 18 rose two percent to 29,566 head. Slaughter is up 11 percent this year. Weekly fed cattle exports to Jan. 11 rose 16 percent to 6,024 head. They are up seven percent to 9,013 so far this year.

Cattle futures are technically overbought and U.S. boxed beef prices began to weaken, which indicates that a selloff could be starting.

However, feedlot inventory across North America is tight and feedlots can comfortably step back from the market and give cattle more days on feed.

COW PRICE FALLS Larger non-fed supplies appeared at commercial auctions, pressuring prices down $2.50 per cwt.

D1, D2 cows were $75-$85 to average $79.83, and D3s ranged $65-$76 to average $70.93.

Cow prices are $6-$6.50 higher than last year and are only $6 shy of record highs set in June 2012.

Rail grade prices last week ranged between $159-$164 per cwt.

With calf and feeder prices strengthening, fewer bred cows might enter the slaughter mix compared to November and December.

Export demand should be strong because Canadian prices are at a sizable discount to the United States.

WP LIVESTOCK REPORT years that weekly Alberta auction volumes in January have exceeded 40,000 head.

The rally has been unprecedented over the last three weeks with prices up $19-$25 per cwt. on calves and light stockers and $8-$16 on feeders heavier than 700 pounds.

Year over year, the largest price increase is in the 500-700 lb. category, fueled by demand from those who want to put the cattle on pasture and strong interest from eastern buyers.

Compared to 2013, steers are trading $40-$43 higher while heifers are $35 stronger.

Alberta auction volumes are up 58 percent so far this year, and Saskatchewan is up four percent compared to the same point last year.

Weekly feeder exports to Jan. 11 totalled 1,633 head, down nine percent from the same week last year.

More wheat is entering feedlot rations as grain producers look for cash flow.

This is expected to be a trend, put-

ting a cap on the feed barley market.

With feeding margins positive, feedlots are expected to keep buying.

U.S. boxed beef posted new record highs with Choice up $9.76 at $238.55 US and Select up $11.42 at $236.93.

However, prices at the end of the week were down a little.

Weekly Canadian cut-out values to Jan. 18 hit records with AAA up $12.33 at $224.44 Cdn and AA up $13.09 at $223.08.

The Montreal wholesale price for delivery this week rose to $226-$228 per cwt.

Drozd said the $3.80 price for corn and $2.15 for oats are a key technical points where the upside price breakout occurred in July 2010. He said it makes sense to retrace to that point,

considering the ample ending stocks for both crops.

He also expects wheat to track back to those July 2010 break-out levels, with Minneapolis spring wheat falling to $5.35 per bu., Kansas City hard red winter wheat to $5.15 and Chicago soft red to $5.05.

Drozd sees no lasting upside potential for crop prices right now, which makes marketing both old and new crops important for farmers.

GRAIN MOVEMENT | RAIL CAPACITY

CRAIG’S VIEW

Railways, gov’t, farmers must share info, resources

T

he inadequacies of Canada’s grain logistics system are costing prairie farmers at least $1 billion and likely much more this year.

When looking only at Canada’s record 1.14 billion bushel wheat crop, insufficient shipping capacity puts prices in Canada at a $1 per bushel discount to the United States, where transportation is less of an issue this year.

Western Canada’s grain transportation issue is not only a problem of inefficiency.

It is also a problem of capacity and to solve it will require investment in railways, highways and ports.

Canada’s export economy is increasingly oriented toward the Pacific. The federal government recognizes this and has spent money on improving transportation corridors. However, the need is greater.

The federal Conservatives believe a good way to support farmers is to increase access to foreign markets and invest in market development.

However, that effort goes to waste if Canadian farmers can’t get their products to market.

That is the case this year. The railways are moving a near record amount of grain, but it still falls short of the demand.

Grain companies have ordered 40,000 rail cars that the railways have been unable to deliver. Under ideal conditions, the railways move about 10,000 grain cars a week, so that is a four-week backlog.

The results include depressed grain prices, wide basis, lack of farmer cash flow, demurrage charges at port, unhappy customers and a tarnished reputation.

It is good that Ottawa is contributing $1.5 million to a $3.2 million industry-led effort to create efficiencies in the agriculture supply chain over the next five years.

When announcing the investment, agriculture minister Gerry Ritz spoke of a “new normal” in the demands on the grain transportation system. This year’s crop is a record bin buster, but advances in crop genetics and the demand pull from Asia could mean that what is exceptional now is routine in the future.

It is not just agriculture demanding

more from railways. Coal, minerals and container traffic are all rising, not to mention the boom in the controversial movement of petroleum products by rail.

Canadian National Railway and Canadian Pacific Railway each plan to spend about $1 billion in 2013 to replace aging infrastructure and invest in increased capacity.

However, it appears that more money must come from somewhere to allow even more funds to be spent on rail improvements. One possible way is to let the free market have a greater role in rail grain movement.

The western grain revenue cap will likely be a target of discussion, but it might be hasty to assume that a regulation that allows the railways a return on investment and that is tied to inflation is an impediment to increased movement.

Government investment in rail infrastructure is tricky. Unlike publicly owned highways and airports, the rails are privately owned. And the railways are posting good profits.

Nevertheless, given their vital role in the economy, government might have a nation-building role to leverage increased investment in rail, particularly if it also holds the railways more accountable for performance failures.

In the meantime, the agricultural industry must make the most efficient use of available resources. Better information dissemination about grain company export programs and freight expectations would help the transportation sector know what demands it will face.

Grain companies should also consider ways to better employ the underused eastern Thunder Bay shipping route.

Government could increase the limit on its cash advance program.

And farmers could build more storage, which would allow them to use market tools to be paid to hold their grain.

As a result, there would be less panic selling in situations like today.

POLITICAL PERCEPTIONS | THE NEW REALITY

Having fingers in many past or present pies can lead to pie on face NATIONAL VIEW

BARRY WILSON

N

inety years ago, British jurist Gordon Hewart, lord chief justice of England and Wales, articulated one of the most enduring and cryptic principles of the BritishCanadian legal system. “(It) is of fundamental importance that justice should not only be done, but should manifestly and undoubtedly be seen to be done,” he wrote.

These days in politics, or at least in

political Ottawa, the same applies.

Just ask former federal agriculture minister Chuck Strahl, well liked and almost universally respected during his 18 years as a Fraser Valley MP until his 2011 resignation.

He served as agriculture and transport minister, as well as opposition House leader, and showed political grit in 2001 when he left the Canadian Alliance caucus with a handful of others during the train-wreck leadership of Stockwell Day. Strahl became a loyal and trusted disciple of Stephen Harper in opposition and government, rewarded in his retirement with a part-time appointment from his former boss as chair of the Security Intelligence Review Committee, which oversees the work of the national snoop agency Canadian Intelligence Security Service

(heavy on security, not so much on intelligence).

Few begrudged the perk for a wellliked former MP. Then his instincts failed.

In politics, as in justice (or in this case political appropriateness), the right thing must be done and be seen to be done.

Stahl resigned his position as SIRC chair late last week, under pressure after he registered as a British Columbia lobbyist to press the provincial government on behalf of an oil company hoping to build a pipeline from Alberta through B.C. to the coast.

He was not lobbying former federal colleagues and he promised parliamentary ethics commissioner Mary Dawson that he would not be involved in any SIRC files relating to the energy and pipeline issue. Dawson

said he met all the lobbying rules.

But with CSIS reportedly collecting information on the energy industry and the Northern Gateway pipeline a highly sensitive and controversial issue, the critics piled on.

“It is alarming to many Canadians that the chair of the CSIS oversight committee is engaged in this kind of lobbying,” said NDP House leader and B.C. MP Nathan Cullen.

There were calls for his resignation.

Strahl initially resisted, responding that the criticisms were “entirely spurious and unfounded.” But with the Conservatives facing questions on several ethical fronts and Parliament resuming this week, he quickly decided to cut his losses.

“I retired from politics three years ago and do not wish to be in the centre of the political fray,” he said in a

Jan. 24 letter to prime minister Stephen Harper.

This is the new political reality in Ottawa, driven in part by Harper’s Accountability Act and made more sensitive these days by evidence of former Conservative senators playing fast and loose with expense claims.

Opposition MPs howl about conflict of interest, proven or unproven (as Conservatives did in opposition and will again when they are back someday in that position), and players must understand the new rules.

In retrospect, it is amazing that a seasoned politician like Strahl would not have smelled the likely reaction to a federal appointee with access to sensitive information lobbying on a controversial issue near and dear to the Conservative’s agenda.

In politics, sometimes instincts fail.

& OPEN FORUM PLANT BREEDERS’ RIGHTS | UPOV 91 OPPOSITION

Growth Act: growth for whom?

Liven up your Saturdays with WPTV

BY JAN SLOMP

T

he Omnibus Bill C-18, the Agricultural Growth Act, went to Parliament for first reading Dec. 9.

Passing Bill C-18 would make Canada compliant with UPOV 91, a much more restrictive form of plant breeders’ rights than we currently have.

The second part of the act will prepare Canada’s regulatory regime for fast track approval of feed or food additives, drugs or other inventions that are already approved in jurisdictions with which we trade.

Bill C-18 also opens the door for farmers to tap into multi-year advance payments secured by crops in storage or grown in the future.

After a ground swell of farmer-led opposition to adopting UPOV 91 in 2005, the Liberal government of the day let it quietly die as it became clear that farmers would be drastically restricted in their ability to save, reuse, exchange and sell seed. The Canadian public clearly demanded that genetic resources remain a public good.

Before reintroducing UPOV 91 through Bill C-18, agriculture minister Gerry Ritz has been actively spreading the myth and managing to convince many farm organizations and commodity groups that saving seed is enshrined in this bill.

It is obvious that UPOV 91 gives plant breeders significantly more rights and tools for royalty collection, while farmers’ seed-saving right is reduced merely to “privilege.”

A privilege was typically given to

P Bill C-18 should be rejected because UPOV 91 gives plant breeders more rights while farmers need permission to save seed and may have to pay a royalty, says the author. | FILE PHOTO peasants by feudal lords and could be arbitrarily and unpredictably retracted.

A closer look at the text of Bill C-18 reveals that it indeed talks about a farmer’s ability to save seed.

However, the farmer needs the permission of the holder of the plant breeders’ rights when storing that saved seed, which may or may not be given.

Of course, the breeder also has the right to charge royalties.

Bill C-18 also empowers government to remove, restrict or limit the farmer’s seed-saving privilege by passing regulations, a process that

can happen quickly and without public debate.

UPOV 91 has many provisions for royalty collection: after a crop has been harvested, when seed is cleaned in seed cleaning plants and when a crop is moved off the farm for sale at elevators and other points of transaction.

Canada should reject UPOV 91 and defeat Bill C-18. Instead, we should reinforce our public plant breeding programs.

With the continued allocation of farmer check-off money, there will be ample funding for essential variety development. There is absolutely no need to grant transnational plant

breeders more tools to extract excessive funds from farmers.

Adopting UPOV 91 may result in some genetic improvements of crops but at significantly higher costs than a public breeding system, which benefits the whole Canadian economy.

UPOV 91 would result in significantly higher costs for farmers and growth in profits for seed and chemical companies headquartered outside of our country.

GRAIN MOVEMENT | PAY MORE, GET MORE?

Thought required in reassessing revenue cap HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

T

here are no no quick fixes to the grain logistics backlog, but make no mistake, the primary source of the problem lies with the railways.

They haven’t supplied enough cars and locomotives to match the huge crop that needs to move. Even if they allocated more resources to grain movement, some observers say they don’t have enough trained engineers to run the additional trains.

No doubt west coast ports have their own issues, but export terminals have lots of empty space while scores of vessels wait to load. The grain just isn’t arriving in time to meet sales commitments.

Yes, there are system and commu-

nication issues involving the entire logistics chain, but the most pressing need is to increase rail capacity, and that leads to discussions about changing or removing the grain revenue cap.

Unfortunately, misconceptions abound over what the revenue cap entails and how it works.

The formula takes into account the amount of grain hauled and the average length of haul. Thus, the revenue cap is not a disincentive to move greater volumes. The cap rises in tandem with volume moved.

When the railways exceed the cap and have to pay the excess to the Western Grains Research Foundation, it’s because they set their rate per tonne a bit too high.

A volume-related composite price index is also part of the annual formula. It accounts for any increase or decrease in labour, fuel and other expenses.

Cost changes move the revenue cap up and down in relation to the base year of 2000-01, but a lot has changed since the cap was set.

Many argue that the railways have

benefited from efficiency gains because of fewer elevators and more movement in large car blocks.

As a result, they say, there should be a new costing review.

Others are convinced that the only way to get better service is to let the railways charge higher rates. After all, they argue, high freight rates would be no worse than the ridiculously wide basis levels being subtracted from grain prices.

Elevator companies are paying demurrage on ships that have been waiting for weeks on end. A widening basis should be a disincentive for producers to sell, but producers have remained anxious to move grain despite dropping values.

As a result, many companies have stopped buying by posting no bids for nearby months.

It’s important to note that the revenue cap does not apply to grain moving into the United States and Mexico. Nor does it apply to grain moving to domestic destinations such as the Fraser Valley. And yet service outside of the revenue cap doesn’t appear to be any better.

And many other sectors also complain about rail service. For years, the Coalition of Rail Shippers, which comprises all the main exporters, fought for the right to have service level agreements with the railways.

Unfortunately, the legislation fell short of what is needed to actually make a difference.

People point to the United States, where there’s a bid system for cars, as proof that paying more means better service.

However, there are big differences between the two countries. America consumes much more of its grain domestically and it also has the Mississippi River system for a great deal of its exports.

Lots of questions need to be addressed before we volunteer to open our wallets to the railways. Giving them the ability to charge what they want is no guarantee of improved service.

our yourself a cup of coffee, settle into a comfy chair in front of your computer and tune in to WPTV. As most of you know by now, The Western Producer’s print journalists are taking a leap into broadcast journalism online. It’s a bit of a new world for us, but old dogs (sorry, staff) really can learn new tricks … even if it takes a little practice.

“TV isn’t TV anymore,” managing editor Michael Raine says.

“TV is video. Internet is now broadcast. We’re just taking what we already do and delivering it in another way.”

Our newest offering, a weekly wrap of markets and other news, hit our website two Saturdays ago. Most weeks, you’ll see Michael and markets editor D’Arce McMillan chatting in a news anchor format in our newly configured studio.

That has required some creative thinking on the parts of Michael and video editor Robin Booker. I was at Robin’s computer the other day while talking to web editor Paul Yanko, and glanced at his screen to find one of his internet searches displaying the Fabricland website.

Why is Robin searching for fabric?

Making a suit, perhaps?

Paul explained that Robin was out seeking green material to serve as a “green screen.”

Green screens, in case you are unaware, are used to block out backgrounds on TV or in movies.

As Robin explained when he returned, WPTV is still a work in progress.

“There may be some changes in style as we go along,” he said. “(For example), from the first week to the second week, we went from a partial green screen to a full one.”

Robin also tried various ways to capture audio, “most of which failed,” he said with a laugh.

However, determination produced results.

“Now that we’ve done it once, we’ve learned a lot,” he said. “We will continue to refine it.”

He is also planning to add footage provided by our correspondents and Saskatoon reporters from wherever they are shooting. You will, for example, see Ed White reporting from Manitoba in this week’s edition.

The goal is to have our little TV show loaded before noon on Saturday, but this is partly dependent on how fast the computer will move.

Hopefully, it will be online in time to enjoy with that Saturday morning coffee.

ONE-SIDED STORY DISAPPOINTING To the Editor: After reading “North America called out of step with rest of world on GM food” by Barb Glen (WP Jan. 2), I felt it was unfortunate that no one was called upon to represent the other side.

These people continue to fuel the fear of genetic modification technology in spite of the fact that regulating bodies around the world, including the European Academies Science Advisory Council, Health Canada and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, have determined that geneti-

cally modified crops are as safe as conventional crops.

This is not “ignorance and industry propaganda,” as Mark Benson claims in the article. More than 1,500 research studies have said the same thing. There really shouldn’t even be a debate about this anymore.

Thierry Vain, retired from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, is now an organic farmer on the west coast of Canada.

He is on the speaking circuit against GM technology. Every argument that he uses has been dismissed by the experts.

Unbelievably, he still talks about Gilles-Eric Séralini as if he is a respectable scientist, even though Séralini’s flawed research using rats

as test subjects has been thrown out as junk science, retracted by publisher Elsevier from its Food and Chemical Toxicology journal, and officially withdrawn.

Vrain’s arguments against genetic modification are based on logical fallacies, not science: the “appeal to nature” fallacy that says nature is always good; the “appeal to antiquity,” or assuming that something is better or correct simply because it is older or traditional; along with the “correlation proves causation” argument.

And of course, anyone who counters him is dismissed as an “industry shill,” which instantly shuts out any chance for reasonable debate.

Genetic modification is an impor-

tant, effective and safe tool that should be available to more scientists. GM technology can do a great deal of good: It allows for zero-till agriculture, which not only reduces soil erosion, but also captures a significant amount of carbon in the soil; reduces the amount of pesticide required; and can increase nutrients in foods, especially important in developing countries where politics make fair distribution of food difficult.

Study after study has proven that there is nothing to fear and much to gain. It is time that we start listening to the real experts and questioning the motives of those so vehemently against the technology.

Seemingly Don Morgan, Saskatchewan minister of education, has decided P3s, private for profit corporate bundling plan for building schools, are acceptable.

Little respect (is) shown for: a consultative process with education stakeholders or a former minister who decided P3s too expensive; school boards’ complaints and alternate ideas; concerns of construction industry, other companies and workers who fear losing jobs and contracts to out-of-province companies.

P3s engage companies-corporations to finance, design, build, own and then lease to government for use of schools and services. When a 30-year lease is up, the corporation owns the schools that public taxpayers paid expensive leases for and so contributed to profits of shareholders.

Future generations inherit these costs. Isn’t this a misappropriation of taxpayer dollars?

For those who participated, and those who witnessed the outpouring of stories from both natives and nonnatives, their lives will be forever changed. It was not an easy journey.

Those whose ancestry has been

rooted in this country centuries b e f o re t h e Eu ro p e a n s a r r i v e d showed openness and hospitality to the newcomers. Without the indigenous people, those naïve in the ways of the Canadian wilderness could not have survived.

However, in the name of God and sovereignty, the invaders enacted programs intended to convert or eliminate First Nations people. The assumption was that it was appropriate to take control of land, resources, families and culture away from people “who were inferior.”

Only in recent years do non-natives realize how evil the governmentadministered, church-staffed Indian residential schools were.

Lawyers advised the churches to

refuse to accept any responsibility for what occurred, but how could we respect ourselves if we didn’t turn to truth-telling and make apology?

Part of the settlement was the establishment of a truth and reconciliation commission. The healing journey could begin only after the pain, anger and tragedy of what happened was brought to the surface.

INDIAN PULSES | EXPORTS

Indian gov’t to consider lifting pulse export ban to boost prices

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

India is considering lifting an eightyear ban on pulse exports just as farmers harvest what is expected to be a record crop.

Business Standard is reporting that the agriculture ministry will soon recommend that cabinet lift the ban to stop the decline in domestic pulse crop prices.

“Those (recommendations) often get adopted, although once in a while they get rejected,” said Chuck Penner, an analyst with LeftField Commodity Research.

Stat Publishing is forecasting a record 13 million tonne rabi (winter)

pulse crop harvest. Growers had already planted a record 38.67 million acres of pulses as of Jan. 24, up nine percent from the same time last year.

Penner said it will be interesting to see how the Indian government handles the agriculture ministry recommendation, given that it’s an election year.

“The difficulty for the government is to decide, ‘OK, who are we going to try to make happier, farmers or consumers?’ ” Farmers and farm labourers make up a substantial portion of India’s population.

“To make farmers happy, they would get rid of these export limits or

restrictions. That should then push prices higher because they can participate in world markets.”

Penner expects a decision by March 31, when the current export ban is set to expire. That is around the same time that this year’s rabi crop will be coming off.

He doesn’t think lifting the export ban will have much of an impact on this year’s pulse markets because it is too late for Indian farmers to adjust plantings.

However, it could definitely influence pulse markets going forward.

“I don’t think there is any way of spinning it so that it’s a positive thing,” he said.

India used to export desi chickpeas

and red lentils before the ban, mostly by truck or train to nearby countries such as Pakistan and Bangladesh.

The ban on kabuli chickpeas was recently lifted, which Penner believes has had a price-depressing effect on that commodity.

He thinks red lentils would be most influenced by the end of the export ban.

In the meantime, it is the forecast of a record chickpea crop that poses the biggest threat to Canadian growers.

Penner said there has been a big increase in India’s chickpea acres, which typically account for 72 percent of rabi pulse plantings.

Pea plantings are above average, and lentil acreage is normal.

“We did have good moisture conditions going in, but for the most part that tap turned off at the beginning of November,” he said.

Parts of northern India have had barely any rain since the beginning of November, which will primarily effect lentils and peas.

“I don’t see big (lentil and pea) yields this year,” said Penner.

It’s a different story for chickpeas, which are more widely grown across the country.

“It could be some significant volumes. It’s not going to be good for Canadian yellow pea exports.”

He thinks exporters will feel the pressure of a record Indian chickpea crop as early as late February.

Flax growers to pay for GM test

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Canadian flax growers will soon bear the full cost of testing their flax crop for the presence of genetically modified material.

Funding for the Flax Farm Stewardship program will end Feb. 28, says the Flax Council of Canada.

After that, the full cost of testing will be borne by farmers.

Will Hill, president of the Flax Council of Canada, said farmers are strongly encouraged to get their testing done now, while funding is still available and grain movement is slow.

“Get your testing done early and then you’ll be ready to go when (grain movement) improves,” said Hill. “I’m assuming we’ll get a fairly good push on by farmers to get their testing done prior to (Feb. 28) to take advantage of the funding that is available.”

The Flax Farm Stewardship program, in place since 2010-11, reimbursed farmers for 50 percent of the cost of a flax test, up to a maximum of $100 per test.

A test usually costs around $200.

Labs accredited to conduct the test are listed on the flax council’s website at www.flaxcouncil.ca.

Hill said the funding that is still available should be sufficient to cover all samples submitted by farmers between now and the end of February.

Nonetheless, growers should submit their samples as early as possible to avoid disappointment.

“We think we have enough (funding) to run a program of the size that we have in previous years,” he said.

Testing of commercial flax at the farm level was a key part of the flax industry’s overall plan to detect the presence of GM material and ensure that commercial flax supplies destined for GM-sensitive markets were free of the GM variety CDC Triffid.

Hill said producers will be required to continue testing flax at the farm level for at least another year.

After that, the industry will reassess the situation and decide if farm level testing is still required. Hill said commercial level testing of flax in rail cars and bulk cargoes will continue until the industry is reasonably sure all traces of Triffid have been eliminated from the Canadian flax supply.

INSECTICIDE | MANAGEMENT

Neonicotinoids jeopardize Manitoba buckwheat exports Residue limits exceeded | Japanese inspectors reject containers because of the presence of insecticidal seed treatment

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Manitoba buckwheat processors are feeling anxious about exports after Japanese inspectors rejected a shipment of buckwheat for neonicotinoid contamination.

Rejean Picard, a Manitoba Agriculture farm production adviser and buckwheat expert, said Japan refused two containers of buckwheat grown in Manitoba. The buckwheat exceeded Japan’s maximum residue limit (MRL) for thiamethoxam, an insecticidal seed treatment.

Thiamethoxam, a Syngenta insecticide, is better known by its brand names Helix XTra and CruiserMaxx.

The neonicotinoid is applied to canola, corn and soybean seeds in Western Canada.

Picard said the buckwheat with neonicotinoid residue was grown in 2012 and exported in 2013.

“I understand that there were two (containers) that were shipped,” he said.

“It exceeded the MRL in Japan, so the shipments were refused and returned…. Glyphosate also showed up in the results, but it was within the MRL.” Marc Durand, a buckwheat grower in Notre Dame de Lourdes, Man., said processors and others in Manitoba’s buckwheat trade can’t understand how thiamethoxam got into a buckwheat shipment.

One possibility is that the crop grown before buckwheat received a seed treatment and the neonicotinoid remained in the soil.

“We’re not sure if it’s residues in the soil or farmers are not cleaning out their equipment properly,” said Durand, while standing at the Manitoba Buckwheat Growers Association booth at Manitoba Ag Days last week.

Picard said on-farm contamination is improbable because producers use specific equipment to handle seed treated with insecticides and fungicides.

“Producers won’t use equipment to load grain that they would use to load treated seed. They usually would have different augers for that,” he said.

“We haven’t ruled it (contamination) out completely, but we think it’s an unlikely cause…. These neonics are widely used on other crops. We’re thinking possibly the previous crop might have been treated with that.

Maybe poor breakdown (of the insecticide) in the soil.”

Buckwheat is an unlikely candidate for testing positive for pesticides because so few chemicals are registered for use on the small acreage crop.

However, nearly every corn, canola and soybean seed in North America is treated with a neonicotinoid. The three most popular neonics are clothianidin, imidacloprid, which are Bayer products, and thiamethoxam.

Christy Morrissey, a University of Saskatchewan toxicologist who has studied neonics, said the insecticides persist in soil for years.

“Neonicotinoids break down very slowly in soil,” she said in an email.

“Half lives vary by compound and environmental conditions, but data for clothianidin is 300 to 1,400 days….

In Saskatchewan soils, 91 percent of the original compound was still present in soil (after) four to six months.”

Picard said thiamethoxam is registered for use on buckwheat, but that source of contamination is unlikely.

“I’ve never heard of anybody using any seed treatment … on buckwheat.”

The neonic contamination is worrying Manitoba processors about future shipments to Japan, where buckwheat is used to make soba noodles.

One processor said federal and provincial governments should take the risks associated with neonics

more seriously, especially the trade risks.

Durand said Manitoba processors might not buy buckwheat from growers if Japan refuses more containers for neonic residues.

“It is a big concern,” he said.

“There are not many buyers (in Manitoba) … and if they’re having this risk, they might not take the risk.”

Gord Kurbis, Pulse Canada director of market access and trade policy, said he’s never heard of a Canadian special crop rejected for neonicotinoid contamination.

He said inconsistent rules for maximum residue levels likely caused the

recent rejection in Japan.

“These sorts of things aren’t a story about food safety risks. This is a story about not having coherent international regulations,” he said.

“No doubt, this is where this buckwheat problem (arose) as well.”

Kurbis said Japan doesn’t have a specific MRL for thiamethoxam and buckwheat, so the country uses a default MRL of 0.01 parts per million.

In comparison, Japan has significantly higher MRLs for thiamethoxam on other food products. It’s five p.p.m. for cabbage and three p.p.m. for lettuce and beets, which is 500 and 300 times higher than the

default levels.

Kurbis said inconsistent rules within countries and varying regulations from country to country force Canadian exporters to navigate through a byzantine system of MRLs. “We’re moving (commodities) to 150 countries and there are potentially 30 or 40 actives (pesticides) across a half dozen minor crops and pulse crops. This is a pretty formidable combination,” he said.

“That risk is taking us into a world where these hypothetical trade risks of having zero tolerances on the books start to morph into real trade risks.”

MEAT RECALL STUDY | SALES IMPACT

Consumers eventually return after meat recall: study Safety assurance needed | In some regions like Asia and Europe, recalls reduced consumption by 50 percent and never fully recovered

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Consumer confidence is shaken every time there is a meat recall, but they usually start eating meat again once they receive the all clear, at least in North America.

“People tend to return to their past consumption,” said agriculture economist John Cranfield from the University of Guelph, who examined the effects on demand following Canadian Food Inspection Agency

initiated recalls between 1998 and 2010.

Beef demand is an indication of consumers’ willingness to buy, and refers to how much beef will be consumed at a given price. Most consumer studies show price is the most important consideration among shoppers, but safety and quality are ranked next.

Canfax commissioned the study, which evaluated national impacts on a quarterly basis. It did not look at individual shoppers’ reaction to a

food recall, even though the opinions of the person buying and cooking the food are influential.

“The perception of the food shopper of the home is a very important thing,” he said.

“That shapes everything that goes into the shopping cart or what goes on the table.”

The study calculated that a one percent increase in beef recalls leads to a 0.037 percent decrease in Canadian beef demand.

In terms of volume, it means a 2,260

the equivalent to a one percent drop in consumer beef expenditures.

Pork recalls reduced demand for pork but had no impact on beef or chicken demand.

Chicken recalls had a negative impact on beef sales and a positive change for pork, but no difference in poultry demand.

Recalls in the United States did not have a measurable impact on Canadian beef demand.

Cranfield said it is hard to determine how long consumers might reject a product, but some U.S. statistics show a downturn could drag on for three quarters of a year.

However, food recalls in Europe or Asia may influence people to stay away from a product for a long time or abandon it altogether.

Although no beef was recalled in the BSE crisis of 2003, the disease’s impact had a major impact among certain consumers. Beef consumption actually improved in Canada as widespread publicity assured people the product was safe to eat.

That was not the case in Japan, where consumption fell by more than 50 percent when it was diagnosed in 2001.

“BSE left Japan reeling,” Cranfield said. “In Japan, consumption patterns don’t always revert. That is a permanent change.”

Consumer surveys after the listeria recall involving Maple Leaf Foods in 2008 found that many consumers said they no longer bought prepared lunchmeats. It did not last.

“People revert back into their previous consumption patterns,” Cranfield said.

The study found that there were no recalls during some quarters, but there was a spike in 2008. In addition, there are more recalls in pork and beef, although that might be partly connected to increased surveillance and better detection methods since mid-2008.

This study did not include consumer reaction after the XL Foods beef recall in Brooks, Alta., because full data was not available at the time.

PRODUCT RESEARCH | WEIGHING INFORMATION

Learn to decipher data on product claims: expert Evaluating research | Consider number of years data has been collected and how researchers explain their conclusions

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Terry Buss struggles to contain his contempt when he sees the phrase “positive yield response.”

Buss, a Manitoba Agriculture soybean specialist in Beausejour, Man., said “positive yield response” regularly appears in literature promoting foliar sprays and soil fertility products. He said those claims are often meaningless because they’re rarely supported by valid data.

“Positive yield response … is that greater than zero?” said Buss, who spoke about the validity of agricultural research during a presentation at Manitoba Ag Days in Brandon Jan. 22.

“I don’t like it.… I’m seeing it more and more. The reason I don’t like it is because… I don’t know what it means.”

Buss said he regularly receives calls from growers who have questions about the latest or greatest agricultural product and associated yield boost claims of five to 10 percent.

“A lot of soil fertility products, a lot of foliar applied things … more and

more fungicide type products.”

Buss said the marketing campaigns for such products typically feature data, graphs and tables to support the claims. The information overload can be overwhelming, he added, but it is possible for growers to separate the bona fide from the b.s.

“It’s not that complicated. You don’t need to get a master’s degree or a PhD to evaluate research.”

He said products often cost less than $10 per acre and typically promise yield increases of 10 percent or less.

Growers are more likely to bite when the financial risk is low.

“I’ve had people say that to me. The product is $5 per acre…. If it works, great. If it doesn’t, I’ve only lost five bucks.”

Still, $5 adds up quickly if the product is applied to 1,000 acres.

“Do you have $5,000 to throw away?

I don’t,” he said.

“I’m saying, don’t spin the wheel until they’ve shown you something that you consider valid.”

Rigas Karamanos, senior agronomist with Koch Agronomic Services, said several years ago that there is a basic rule for claims surrounding fertilizer supplements: distinguish between Type A and Type B claims.

A Type A claim is when a fertilizer supplement vendor says its product will boost yield by five to 10 percent.

The Type B claim is when the vendor says its supplement will produce the same yield but with less nutrient inputs.

Karamanos said the simple rule for farmers is that Type B is possible and Type A is impossible because yield is determined by crop genetics, solar radiation, water and nutrients.

“When you get to the maximum yield with best management prac-

tices … you will find that it is very difficult to push the yield potential (higher).”

Buss said recognizing the quality of agricultural research is another way to decipher product claims. A graph with a low bar and a high bar to represent yield differences isn’t reliable if researchers don’t explain how confident they are in the data, he added.

“Two very common confidence levels that are used are 95 percent and 90 percent confident,” he said.

“I see more and more stuff where there is no discussion of that (statistical confidence) at all.”

Promotional results should also show the least significant difference, he said. Using soybean research on tillage systems as an example, Buss said the least significant difference in that experiment was 2.8 bushels. As a result, any yield difference less than 2.8 bu. is statistically insignificant and should be ignored.

“That’s the type of thing we should be able to get in all of the research we look at, that ability to determine real differences,” he said.

“Anything else won’t do.”

Experimental design is another consideration.

Buss said growers should look for information on site years of data and the number of replications.

Karamanos has touted the importance of replication for years.

“In God we trust. All others bring replicated data.”

WINTER OLYMPICS | ICE MAKER

Meet Canada’s ice man Skims over pebbles | Ice technician hopes he plays a role in Olympic team bringing home gold

BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

DALMENY, Sask. — James Gordon shuffles backward along the curling sheets, squirting a fine spray of water from a tank mounted on his back.

Making perfectly pebbled ice is a priority for Gordon, who was one of more than 20 volunteer ice technicians chosen for the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, in February.

This evening, he plans to curl with his team after spending an hour or two preparing the ice at the curling club in Dalmeny, Sask., his home base.

He’s already put in a full day of work in shipping and receiving at Crestline Manufactur ing in Saskatoon.

“Being a curler myself, I like to play on good ice,” said Gordon, who has curled in juvenile and high school provincial curling championships and aspires to eventually getting a team into the national tournament.

He started ice making as a teenager through a love of the game and a strong desire to learn about what changes rink conditions.

“It takes a lot of hard work to be good at it,” he said.

“If you’re not good at making ice

He is one 20 volunteers who will travel to Sochi, Russia, for the Winter Olympics. | KAREN MORRISON PHOTO or if you don’t prep it right, the ice may have more friction on the rocks,” said Gordon. “Faster ice is a lot nicer to play on.”

The Dalmeny rink is his second home, where he is the ice technician and serves on the club’s curling executive.

At 23, he has spent the last five

years honing his craft here and at elite events such as Canadian men’s championships and the world women’s curling championships.

He has attained a Level 2 in ice making, with the top being Level 4.

Gordon credited his experience and particularly work with the Brier’s head ice technician, Hans

Wuthrich of Winnipeg, with helping to tip the scales in his favour during the Olympics selection process.

“I know what needs to be done,” he said.

Accommodations and meals are provided at the games, but he had to raise the rest of the money himself. He hosted a glow curling event fundraiser in Dalmeny, which raised $750. Crestline also contributed $500.

Gordon has now raised all but $500 of his expenses, which includes $2,200 in airfare and a $250 work visa.

While there, he’ll be part of a team creating the sheets atop the concrete pad, pebbling the ice, installing the logos and hacks and scraping and maintaining the ice between games.

He was surprised and pleased to be picked and is looking forward to watching curling and other elite sporting events.

“As long as there are open seats, I can get in free,” Gordon said.

“It’s one of the things I’ll look back on later on.”

Saskatchewan high school students now have a window into the world of commerce and a chance to earn university credits through a program offered by the Sun West School Division.

The division teamed up with the University of Saskatchewan’s Edwards School of Business to create an introduction to business course online.

Keith Willoughby, Edwards’ associate dean of research and academics, said the course is an overview of concepts in a business degree program and includes modules in subjects ranging from leadership to human resources to finances.

“This could be a model for the future for us to look at in the north and remote communities without access to things folks in the city enjoy,” he said.

Eight faculty members recorded lectures for the one-semester program. Eight of 12 students who participated in the course last year have since joined the Edwards school.

“Here’s a way of whetting their appetite and giving them an opportunity to come into Edwards with three credits under their belt,” Willoughby said.

Darren Gasper, Sun West’s superintendent of education, said it’s a big advantage for rural schools such as Beechy’s with only 80 students.

“Normally, their choice of courses are very limited, but now they have a range of courses to choose from that’s larger than a large urban high school,” he said.

The division delivers its online classes to 3,000 students, half of which are in Sun West. This year, it is also offering programs with the university’s arts and science, computer science and agriculture faculties.

Gasper conceded it can be challenging at first.

“They need to be independent. Our focus is all about preparing students for future careers.”

“We can give them a taste of what university is like, so that can help make that step easier for them and the transition smoother,” he said.

Terissa Ousdahl of Rosetown, Sask., took the course last year and entered the Edwards’ school this past fall, while Alex McFie has just completed the course online at a Saskatoon high school.

McFie, who plans a career in accounting, said one assignment required him to learn about an entrepreneur’s challenges and rewards.

“It got you thinking, building up your understanding,” he said.

Both students said it was more challenging than traditionally taught courses because it was assignment heavy and required self-motivation and discipline.

Lentils:

C

anada grows some of the healthiest food in the world. If the top 10 health foods are Googled, the list is bound to include oatmeal, blueberries, flax, quinoa and other super food grown or raised here. One of those superfoods is lentils.

Why are lentils a superfood?

Fibre: One-half cup (125 mL) of cooked lentils has almost eight grams of fibre, which is about 30 percent of what is required for the day.

Eating a diet high in fibre helps lower cholesterol, reduces the risk of heart disease and makes the digestive system happy.

Potassium: Bananas are often touted as being high in potassium, but 1/2 cup (125 mL) of cooked lentils has more than 350 milligrams of potassium, which is 10 percent of the daily requirement and the same amount as a large banana.

Potassium is essential for maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance and helps regulate blood pressure.

Folate: Lentils are high in folate, (folic acid) and vitamin B-9 that is instrumental in cell development and repair and important for pregnant women. It helps prevent neuraltube defects, such as spina bifida.

One-half cup of cooked lentils is 45 percent of the daily requirement for folate.

High protein, low fat: One-half cup (125 mL) of cooked lentils contains 115 calories and less than half a gram of fat. The serving also has nine grams of protein, which is almost 20 percent of the protein required daily.

Blood sugar control: Lentils have a low glycemic index value, which means they are digested slowly and don’t spike blood sugar levels. This is

good for people with diabetes or at risk of developing diabetes and helpful if trying to lose weight.

Buying lentils When buying dried lentils, look for bright colour, uniform size and smooth skins without chips or shrivelled seed coats. It is a good idea to rinse and sort lentils before cooking.

They also don’t take long to cook.

However, canned lentils offer quick convenience for recipes that call for cooked lentils. Simply drain, rinse and add to the recipe. Note: A 19 oz./540 mL can of lentils drained is approximately equivalent to two cups (500 mL) of cooked lentils.

Storing Dry lentils will keep almost indefinitely stored in a tightly covered container in a cool, dry place. If exposed to light, pulses tend to lose their colour but flavour, nutrition and texture will not be affected.

The longer lentils are stored, the drier they become. This means they may take longer to cook and remain slightly chewy after cooking. It is best to use dry lentils within one year of purchase.

Cooking Tips No pre-soaking is required. It’s important to use unsalted water, because salt hardens and toughens lentils when cooking. Seasoning can and should be added at the end of the cooking.

One cup (250 mL) of whole, dry lentils plus 2 1/2-3 cups (625–750 mL) unsalted water cooked for 20 to 30 minutes equals 2 1/2 cups (625 mL) cooked lentils.

One cup (250 mL) of split, dry lentils plus two cups (500 mL) unsalted water cooked for five to 15 minutes equals two cups (500 mL) cooked lentils.

Here are a sampling of lentil recipes from lentils.ca.

BACON LENTIL BURRITO LENTIL PUREE My kids love these burritos but they don’t know why. I do though. Lentils are flavour sponges and do a good job absorbing the flavours of the Southwest.

4 thick slices of bacon, chopped 1 onion, diced 1 tsp. chili powder 5 mL 1 tsp. cumin powder 5 mL 1 tsp. dried oregano 5 mL 1 c. dry green lentils 250 mL 4 c. water 1L 1 c. corn 250 mL 1 tsp. salt 5 mL 1 tsp. favourite hot sauce 5 mL

To assemble the burritos: 4 large soft tortillas 1 carrot, shredded 4 oz. taco blend shredded 113 g cheese 1/4 c. salsa 60 mL cilantro leaves and tender stems

Begin by crisping the bacon. Toss it into a saucepot along with a little water.

Bring the mixture to a simmer. As the bacon begins simmering, the water will encourage it to cook evenly. When the bits are crisp, strain them out and reserve.

Toss the onion and seasonings into the pan and stir until the flavours brighten and the textures soften for about five minutes.

Pour in lentils and water and bring the mixture to a slow, steady, simmer.

Continue cooking as the lentils absorb the moisture and begin softening.

Stir occasionally and keep an eye on

the works. Eventually they’ll become tender and absorb the water, about 45 minutes.

If the mixture still seems wet for a burrito filling, simmer a few minutes longer. In the last few minutes of cooking, stir the corn, salt and hot sauce into the works.

Lay four tortilla shells on the work surface and evenly divide the filling between them. Top with grated carrot, grated cheese and salsa. Sprinkle on the crisp bacon and top with lots of cilantro.

Fold in the sides and roll the works up tightly. Serves four.

Place cooked lentils in a food processor. For every cup (250 mL) of cooked lentils, add 1/4 cup (60 mL) water.

Blend until smooth. Lentil puree has a similar consistency to canned pumpkin.

Add additional water one tablespoon (15 mL) at a time if more moisture is needed.

Store in the refrigerator for up to four days, or freeze for up to three months.

PRE-ADOLESCENCE | MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES

New program to give diners the goods on nutrition

Adolescent kids present challenges for parents SPEAKING OF LIFE

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

JACKLIN ANDREWS, BA, MSW Many Canadians go to restaurants to forget about calories, salt and fat content for an evening, but others like to know exactly what is in their bowl of French onion soup.

To satisfy that crowd, the Canadian Restaurant and Foodservices Association is touting an initiative called Informed Dining, in which consumers can find nutrition information before ordering their favourite dish.

The CRFA said 17 major restaurant chains, including A&W, McDonalds, Milestones, Montana’s and Tim Hortons, have committed to Informed Dining and intend to implement the program sometime this year.

CRFA president Garth Whyte said customers are seeking comprehensive nutrition information that doesn’t fit on a fast food menu board.

“Canadians want more than just a calorie count,” he said.

“What (customers) are telling us they need varies tremendously from one person to the next. The Informed Dining program provides the information Canadians are looking for in a manner that is accessible, visible and presented in a consistent way across the country.”

The program, which was developed by the British Columbia government in collaboration with the restaurant industry, provides information on calories and 13 nutrients through a website.

Participating restaurants will display the Informed Dining logo and a statement on their menu or menu board telling customers that nutrition information on each dish is available.

Tammy Ives, a registered dietician and executive director of Dieticians of Canada in Manitoba, said eating out is “positively correlated with total caloric intake and weight status.”

In other words, Canadians eat too much when they dine in restaurants.

“Dietitians of Canada agrees that consumers should have easy access to complete nutrition information, as well as education to help them put this information into context,” Ives said. “(But) I can’t stress enough that ongoing evaluation is needed to determine the most effective method of providing nutritional information to consumers.”

The B.C. and Manitoba governments have endorsed the program, and Whyte hopes other provinces join. The Ontario government is considering legislation that will require restaurants to post nutrition information on menus or menu boards, and Canadian cities are also contemplating their own restaurant nutrition guidelines.

However, Whyte said CRFA members don’t want a “hodge podge” of nutrition information systems.

The CRFA is lobbying provincial governments to support the program because restaurant chains want a standardized approach from Corner Brook to Comox.

“We want a system that’s consistent across the country,” he said. “And the customer doesn’t want a different system (at) different restaurants.”

Q:

We are running out of options for our son. We have tried grounding him, taking away his cellphone, cutting back on his allowance and selling his Xbox. Nothing seems to work. He continues to sass his mom while blaming his younger sister for all that has gone wrong in

his life and carrying on like rules are not meant for him. We are worried about him, as are his teachers.

He was always a teacher favourite when he was younger but by Grade 6, things started to deteriorate. Our son is in Grade 7 now and the principal says he may stay there for an extra year if he does not smarten up. What can we do to help him?

A:

Your problem is fairly common in families where the children are nearing adolescence.

But punishing your son is not likely to help him settle down. Your son is operating from the impulsive part of his brain. Your punishment is directed toward his rational being so it

is not connecting with him.

Your son’s impulsive thinking may be overwhelming his rational thinking. He is still driven by impulse and is likely oblivious to your consequences when he gets the urge to do something stupid.

This is a phase. He will grow out of it as his rational thinking improves but he might need guidance with decisions to direct him away from harm.

That is why you have curfews, regular routines and an expectation that everyone in his family will be treated with respect.

Help your son strengthen his rational thinking by engaging him in problem solving exercises.

Look at tasks around the farm like

fixing machinery or nurturing crops.

Remember, whatever issues you choose, the goal is to encourage your son to practise rational thinking, not necessarily to agree with what you think would be a reasonable resolution to the problem.

Problem solving means clarifying issues, collecting information, checking out various options and choosing a strategy.

This will speed up his way out from impulsive control and leave him better prepared to face the challenges waiting for him.

• Buy what you need each day on the way home from work when you know what you feel like eating.

• Find a farm or pet store that will feed wilted produce to animals.

• Make “refrigerator” soup once a week.

Waste not, want not, food for thought TEAM RESOURCES

• Don’t have an overstocked refrigerator. More food is wasted when the refrigerator is messy.

• Store food properly.

• Make a menu plan for the week and shop just for it.

SARAH GALVIN, BSHEc

• Become a leftover master.

• Practice “first in, first out” in the refrigerator, freezer and cold room.

• Keep a log of what is thrown out, and stop buying so much of it.

• Over-buying often happens when packages are too large or there is a big sale. Buy what you need.

FOOD WASTE | PREVENTION

Friends offered these suggestions on how to prevent food waste • If I over-purchase or over-cook, excess food is shared with neighbours.

THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | JANUARY 30, 2014

T

he statistics on food waste are staggering. We like to blame transportation, overproduction, processing and packaging but 51 percent of all food waste in Canada is in the home, according to Statistics Canada.

Wasting food also wastes resources,

including the water used to produce and transport the food.

Providing better information on food care and storage is one solution, but other causes of food waste include over-purchasing and poor use of leftovers.

Canada requires food with a shelf life of 90 days or less to be labelled with a best before date. The producer or manufacturer assumes a certain level of care by the consumer in selecting this date. Many people discard food when the best before date has passed, but it may not be necessary. Best before dates are not for food safety but for peak quality.

Dairy products may be consumed safely if unspoiled. Trim mould from

cheese. The remainder of the block is completely safe for consumption.

Eggs are safe to eat even if stale, but do not eat rotten eggs.

Cereals and bread products may be eaten until they are mouldy or rancid or have an unpleasant flavour. Stale bread can be made into croutons.

Trim fruit and vegetables to remove spoiled parts. Many fresh fruits and vegetables may be cooked to prolong their life.

For example, wilted fresh raspberries plump up when cooked in a thin sugar syrup. They then make a nice dessert or may be frozen.

Prolong the freshness of greens by wrapping in damp tea towels and placing in plastic bags. Herbs may be kept in a bag with a damp paper towel to prolong freshness. Most herbs can be chopped and frozen for later use. Soft vegetables can still be used in smoothies.

Check the temperature of the refrigerator. The proper temperature is 4 C. Check the door seals by trying to pass a piece of paper through while it is closed. The freezer should be at -18 C. Proper storage of root vegetables, including onions, garlic, ginger root, carrots and potatoes, is in a cold room or root cellar rather than the refrigerator. This also applies to winter squashes.

Use it all. Don’t peel cucumbers and potatoes. Steam broccoli stems along with the florets. Save mushroom stems for soup. Keep a bag in the freezer to collect vegetable trimmings for making stock.

Less cooked food will be discarded if proper mealtime portions are cooked. Freeze leftovers in individual servings.

Large bottles of condiments and salad dressings are not a good buy if not used quickly enough. Make a simple vinaigrette dressing from scratch rather than buying it.

Opened meat should be stored in a closed container in the refrigerator. It cannot be frozen again after defrosting until cooked in a recipe.

When you purchase meat, take note if it has been previously frozen. If you buy a large package of meat that won’t be used right away, repackage it into smaller bags and freeze.

Composting is a last resort. Composting returns the nutrients to the soil and keeps waste out of the landfill or garbage dump. Food does not compost in a landfill. Light and air are required for composting, and there are neither in a landfill.

The plan for not wasting food will be different in every household. Do what works for your family. Awareness of the food that is wasted will help plan a strategy.

Don’t forget to teach your children and grandchildren that wasting food is inappropriate. Throwing food away has become more commonplace.

Those of you who remember the Second World War know about the stigma of throwing away food and the scarcity of food in our own country.

We won’t feed all the starving people of the world by not wasting our food, but we will develop a healthy respect for the value of food in our homes and on our planet.

LOOKING BACK | CENTENARIAN

Farming, dancing sustain Borden man for a century Seeing the bright side | Pioneer farmer wasn’t one to lose his temper

BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

John Newbold reminisces with his niece, Mary Jane Newbold, about the early days. The centenarian says farming is a good life and he still enjoys having the sun shining on his face in the morning. | KAREN MORRISON PHOTO

BORDEN, Sask. — At the age of 18, John Newbold travelled alone by train to market the family’s cattle with his spending money pinned to the inside of his clothes for safekeeping.

The money was intended for a hotel room for the night, but instead he

chose to take in a live show and sleep in the caboose.

It’s just one of many tales from John’s 100 years of life operating a farm in central Saskatchewan.

He also once rounded up 300 pound pigs after they escaped from his truck while en route to Saskatoon from his Borden farm.

His niece, Mary Jane Newbold, said

he chased all seven of them, tackling and wrestling each one back into the truck box, all without injury.

“Must have been quite a funny sight,” she said.

Just a decade ago, Mary Jane recalled seeing John sprinting across the yard to move the truck forward to avoid grain spilling out the top.

John related another incident when his brother, Ted, was driving the tractor and the wheels fell off, causing the tires to roll into the discer being pulled behind.

The tractor came to rest on the axle, tilting the cab so badly it was difficult to get out.

“We sure laughed about it,” said John.

Another chuckle came for John and a group of men while watching his brother-in-law, Colin Foley, drive through three fences before coming to a stop after his truck brakes gave out.

Mary Jane said John kept good humour and an even temper through such ups and downs in farming.

“He was cool as a cucumber,” she said. “I’ve never seen him mad in my 57 years.

“He is a gentleman and always thought a handshake was a man’s word, and he’s been royally ripped off on that a few times.”

Family and friends keep close tabs on John, who continues to live in the 1960s-era house he built in Borden with his late wife, Lillian.

The Newbold family gathers each spring and fall to seed and harvest wheat and oats on their 1,100 acre farm.

The annual work bees follow a tradition set by John and his siblings.

The families park their RVs in John’s yard, visiting, eating meals together and squeezing in some dancing, a favourite pastime of John’s.

“They did it because they loved to do it,” said Mary Jane.

“We come because our fathers did it.”

Mary Jane said John and Lillian did not have children, but they taught their nieces and nephews about farming, running equipment and how to inspect grain.

Wheat remains John’s favourite crop to grow.

“It can be straight combined and it holds its grain well and doesn’t shell out,” he said.

Borden has been home for all of John’s 100 years. He was one of six children, including Earl, Ruth, Olive, Ted and Don, born to Abraham and Florence Newbold. They had emigrated from England in 1913 seeking free homesteads offered by the Canadian government.

John married Lillian in 1937, “a terrible dry year.”

He rented land in 1942 and harvested a bumper oat crop, so the next year he bought a half section for $4,000 and started producing grain and cattle, which numbered as many as 300 head at one time.

All but $1,000 was paid in cash, with the remainder paid the next crop year.

“He’s a man that likes to get things done,” said Mary Jane.

John added quarter sections to the farm operation through the years and used summer fallow in his rotations.

Herefords were his preferred breed.

“They have a thick hide and can take the cold weather better than other animals seem to be able to.”

He said cattle made up the shortfall when crops were poor, citing one incident where hail damaged all but 10 percent of his uninsured crop.

“I had cattle to sell so I didn’t get taken down to the ground,” said John.

John also dabbled in trucking grain and raising mink. He once shipped pelts to New York hoping for a better price. John found the price was lower than the $7.50 that was offered in Saskatoon, so he had them shipped back.

The Newbold brothers established many businesses in Borden through the years, including Abraham’s butcher shop, Don’s restaurant, Earl’s hotel and Ted’s butcher shop.

Looking back, John is glad he got to farm.

“It’s nice to get out there in the fields in the morning when the sun is shining. It’s a good life, really.”

Q:

One of my neighbours is a vegetarian, and we sometimes have discussions about which is the healthier lifestyle: vegetarianism or eating some meat in the diet.

Do you think it is healthier to be a vegetarian?

A:

Brothers Don, left, Ted and John, with brother-in-law Colin Foley, gather each year at seeding and harvest.

Vegetarians can get all the important nutrients they need to stay healthy if they also consume milk and eggs.

Key minerals such as iron, zinc and calcium are found in eggs, cereals, beans, peas and green vegetables.

Drinking a glass of orange juice each day helps a person absorb these minerals and provides vitamin C. Eating an orange is healthier because a glass of juice contains the equivalent of 12 teaspoons of sugar.

Vitamins B-2 and B-12 can be found in dairy products such as milk, cheese and yogurt.

Vegans, who do not consume any type of animal product, including milk and eggs, may need to take daily vitamin and mineral supplements.

They are most likely to be lacking in Vitamin B-12, found mostly in meat. Low levels of this vitamin can lead to depression and pernicious anemia.

Vegetarian diets are lower in saturated fats, cholesterol and animal protein, and higher in fibre and folate than meat inclusive diets.

They tend to have reduced risks for obesity, heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes mellitus, osteoporosis and possibly some forms of cancer.

In North America, the average vegetarian does tend to live longer than the non-vegetarian.

This may be partly because of lifestyle, which for vegetarians usually includes not smoking, having a lower body weight and exercising regularly. I do not think I have ever met an obese vegetarian.

People who choose this way of life are also often concerned with social issues, such as animal well-being, and are active in their communities.

I know several who are avid GMO protesters and also organic farmers.

Whether the latter are healthier or not is open for debate.

On the other hand, it is possible to be a vegetarian and eat lots of ice cream, high fat cheese, french fries, cookies and cakes, less healthy options.

LENORE, Man. — The Hodgins’ life exists within a geographically small circle, revolving around the family’s modest beef cattle operation near the Manitoba-Saskatchewan border.

However, sometimes it revolves pretty fast.

“It gets challenging when both Cameron and I have off-the-farm jobs, then you come home and there’s busy farm things too,” said Lisa, a schoolteacher now on maternity leave with six-month-old Chase.

“It’s important to have quality family time, even if that’s us all checking on the cows together.”

Lisa and Cameron farm closely with Cameron’s parents, who live just half a mile down the road in this bushy, wetland-rich part of Manitoba.

They operate a 50-pair organic cow-calf beef herd and custom graze 500 yearlings.

Cameron works off the farm four days per week, commuting to Brandon to work as a firefighter.

It’s a busy life, made busier by the high management demanded by the farming system Cameron and his father operate.

Producing organic beef is more time-consuming than producing conventional beef and requires more intensive management of pastures and hay fields.

“Staying small can be a benefit … but you have to be able to generate a profit,” said Cameron in his comfortable kitchen as Chase cackled in the other room while playing with his mother. Carrie, their shy three-yearold daughter, is hiding in her bedroom while a stranger visits.

Cameron and his father embraced holistic beef production after learning about the approach at meetings organized by the local grazing club.

Speakers described what it would take to operate a holistic beef cattle operation, and the Hodgins family thought they could do it. They still meet with club members to discuss innovative ideas.

“It gets you thinking, will it work here? Could that be the cog for that wheel to make it finally turn,” said Cameron.

The Hodgins have experimented with a wide variety of pasture plants, including radishes and turnips, as well as seeding barley and clover together and growing forages such as cicer milk vetch for bale grazing.

The cattle are walked through a rotational grazing system, which requires lots of work but creates high grass production on the pastures.

Some of the speakers Cameron listened to were supported by grants from Ducks Unlimited, as was some of the equipment the Hodgins family received to turn some of their worked fields into pastures and protect their sloughs.

Cameron didn’t embrace a grassbased system just to help the ducks and geese, but he sees protecting wildlife habitat as part of developing

a healthy, productive farm.

“By making the soils healthier, we’re making our animals healthier, and a byproduct of that is seeing more wildlife,” said Cameron.

“If you went and tilled all that, it would change the diversity a lot.”

A particular delight for the family is to take Cameron’s off-farm siblings to see eagles nesting in the bush on part of their land. And it was an exciting day when moose came through a few months ago.

Lisa loves being on this farm, which is near the one she grew up on near McAuley, Man., on the Saskatchewan border. She didn’t plan to stay near home, but felt a calling after graduation from university south of the border.

“I said, ‘no, I’m too much of a home person. I want to be closer to family and Cameron. I just want to be closer.’ ” She and Cameron lived in Virden and Brandon but jumped at the chance to move into a house down the road from Cameron’s parents.

“When I was a teenager, I was more into sports and being away, instead of helping out (around the farm),” said Lisa.

But when she and Cameron were a few years out of high school, “we realized we were on the same page.

We wanted to start a family and we both wanted to raise our family in a small community.”

Lisa teaches at nearby Oak Lake Community School, which connects her tightly to her neighbours.

“I can go to the rink and see the kids playing, or see them at the fair. In the city, you might not run into your students out there,” said Lisa. “It’s nice to grow up in a small town, live in a small town and teach in a small town.

You can relate to what’s going on.”

So even though Cameron and Lisa have busy lives with off-farm jobs, a demanding farm and two active children, they seem relaxed and confident as they look forward.

Cameron said he feels more confident about the sustainability of the farm when he sees more wildlife also calling it home.

“We can see our pastures improving, and that should be good for not just cattle but wildlife, too,” said Cameron.

AGRONOMY | PUSHING THE ENVELOPE

Problems loom from improper agronomy Crop diseases, pests | Herbicide resistance is also a threat of poor agronomic practices

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

ST. JEAN BAPTISTE, Man. — Dangerous cropland problems are coming home to roost after years of prairie farmers pushing rotations and overusing key tools, agronomy experts said during St. Jean Farm Days.

cide resistant weeds and chemical resistant insects are all nibbling at the edges of Manitoba’s cropland productivity, threatening to become major management issues.

“It’s likely in Manitoba now, and it’s something you are going to have to look out for,” Manitoba Agriculture farm production adviser Ingrid Kristjanson said about glyphosate and multiple herbicide resistant kochia.

As well, multiple herbicide resistant giant ragweed and palmer amaranth are moving toward southern Manitoba, carried on rivers and streams and spread wide by floods.

Other production specialists voiced the same note of caution about the threat of clubroot to canola fields, the danger of overusing neonicotinoids against insect pests and the host of problems created by pushing agronomic practices.

Years of high returns for soybeans and canola have encouraged farmers to tighten their rotations to levels many advisers consider dangerous.

Soybean-on-soybean and canolaon-canola rotations have occurred, and many farmers have employed two-year rotations for their biggest money-making crops.

It has created a fertile ground for crop diseases and pests, which find homes in the roots, trash and soil that linger for more than a year after a crop has been harvested.

Farmers have also relied heavily on glyphosate for pre-seeding, in-crop and post-harvest weed control, creating ideal conditions for glyphosate resistance to naturally develop.

Farmers often use glyphosate on every field every year at least once, and sometimes numerous times.

As well, farmers have sometimes used seed treatments and other tools to compensate for the risks they’re taking with tight rotations, allowing the treatments to begin to lose effectiveness by repeated exposure to diseases and pests.

Dennis Lange of Manitoba Agriculture warned farmers that seed treatments aren’t silver bullets or bulletproof armour and won’t entirely make up for pushing rotations or taking other obvious risks.

Experts also noted a risk that many farmers might be unaware of: using resistant crop varieties or control products when problems have not yet appeared. They said this can ruin the effectiveness of those controls and be counterproductive.

Manitoba Agriculture oilseeds specialist Anastasia Kubinec said research has shown that resistant crop varieties can lose their clubrootfighting powers after being grown two or three times.

“If you are not finding clubroot, you can stay with the canola variety that you have,” said Kubinec.

Kristjanson said fighting multiple resistant weeds can demand a tool most farmers have little experience with these days: hand-and-glove.

“It’s worth (hand) picking the straggler,” he said about lone weeds in a field surviving a chemical treatment.

AGRONOMY | SOYBEANS

Sask. growers keen on soybeans despite little research VARIETY TRIAL RESULTS

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Garry Hnatowich’s first piece of advice to Saskatchewan soybean growers is to take it slow, but he knows he will be ignored.

Saskatchewan farmers do not dabble. Instead, they tend to do things in a big way.

With soybeans, acres have gone from almost nothing in 2011 to an estimated 200,000 acres last year.

“At that rate of growth, we could be under sizeable acres in a short period of time,” he told growers at CropSphere 2014.

Hnatowich, a research agronomist with the Irrigation Crop Diversification Corp., has conducted soybean research since 1979, but most of his work was done outside the province.

He said there are no experts on growing soybeans in Saskatchewan, and it would be wise if farmers waited until researchers had solid agronomic advice based on years of working with the crop.

However, he knows that’s not going to happen, so he provided them with an educated guess based on his experience with the crop in other provinces and states and limited research he has conducted in Saskatchewan’s Lake Diefenbaker area.

Hnatowich said variety selection is the most important decision a farmer can make. Growers need to plant the earliest maturing varieties they can find.

These trial results show corn varieties from breeding programs in southern Ontario and southern Manitoba. Growers are advised to choose varieties with the lowest corn heat units and days to maturity as possible. Heat ratings might not be accurate for Saskatchewan. Yield data is based on four to six years of trials and is compared to average yields from variety 23-10RY. There have been open falls for the last three trial years, resulting in higher than anticipated yields for some of the longer maturing varieties. yield % corn heat days to Variety type* of 23-10RY units maturity Sampsa RR TH 32004R2Y 24-10RY 004R21 NSC Reston RR2Y 900Y61 900Y71 23-10RY Pekko R2

“The bottom line is only in one year out of the last 10 or so did a later maturing variety outperform the earliest maturing varieties that we have acquired,” he said.

Growers should use the Saskatchewan Agriculture website to find our what the average corn heat units are in their area and then find a variety suited to that rating.

The soybean yield ratings in the guide published by the Canada-Saskatchewan Irrigation Diversification Centre can differ from those con-

tained in Saskatchewan Agriculture’s guide. Hnatowich said his trials are conducted under dry land and irrigated conditions.

Monsanto’s Roundup Ready 2 soybeans have quickly taken over a big chunk of the market. The company claims the new trait delivers more pods per plant and more seeds per pod.

“I was a little skeptical. I thought maybe this was a marketing gimmick,” said Hnatowich.

“It’s not. We’re finding at least a 10 percent yield advantage over the

GARRY HNATOWICH AGRONOMIST

original Roundup Ready material.”

He said there are definitely more pods per plant, but he hasn’t seen more seeds per pod.

Soybeans are a long season crop that typically takes about 125 days to grow, but it should not be planted until the soil temperature is 10 C, which in the Outlook, Sask., area is around May 15.

“If there is one thing to remember on this talk, this is it,” he said. “Do not rush it because you’re not going to be doing yourselves any favour.”

Soybeans should be handled gently because it is a fragile crop. Farmers should consider using elevation rather than augering.

Seed treatments should be used, and seeding depth is critical. Soybeans should be planted 19 to 38 millimetres into the soil.

The seeding rate should be 180,000 plants per acre for solid seeded fields and 160,000 per acre for row cropping.

Nitrogen inoculation is critical because there are no native species of the bacteria required for nitrogen fixation in Saskatchewan’s soil. Some Manitoba growers are double inocu-

lating their soybean crops.

Fifty percent of a soybean’s nitrogen requirements come from fixation and the rest is obtained from the soil.

Soybeans are sensitive to phosphorus, so it should be placed away from the seed if possible and limited to 15 lb. per acre. It can be bumped up as high as 25 lb. if soil moisture is good.

The crop is an effective scavenger of phosphorus.

The crop is a poor weed competitor until the canopy is formed, but most varieties are Roundup Ready so weed control is straightforward.

Soybeans are susceptible to root rots, pythium, rhizoctonia and fusarium, which is why seed treatments are a must. Wireworms, cutworms and grasshoppers are the only insects to worry about.

The crop is ready for harvest when 95 percent of the pods have a buckskin brown colour. It is best to allow the crop to dry down to 14 percent moisture before combining.

“It’s a beautiful crop to combine. It’s relatively shatter-proof.”

A flex header is a must and an air assist reel is a bonus. Splits and cracks are not major problems. Buyers can allow up to 15 percent splits and five percent green seed.

Hnatowich said producers in Manitoba and the United States suggest that growing back-to-back soybean crops doesn’t hurt yields.

Soybeans don’t like heavy trash from the previous crop.

THERE IS A GLORIOUS STORY, truth or fiction, that has been handed down through generations of farmers’ union members about a former federal agriculture minister. | BY BARRY WILSON, OTTAWA BUREAU

THE MAN WHO MADE AGRICULTURE A KEY FEDERAL PORTFOLIO

The ‘relentless Liberal’ who became agriculture minister

H Jimmy Gardiner’s take-no-prisoners style didn’t earn him the appreciation of then-prime minister William Lyon Mackenzie King. | FILE PHOTO

e is the reigning king of tenure in the agriculture ministry: 22 years from 1935 to 1957.

Jimmy Gardiner, a member of the Canadian Agricultural Hall of Fame, is credited by historians as an important architect of modern federal agriculture policy and, in a 1997 Agriculture Canada booklet on agriculture ministers, for having expanded the department’s authority.

All of that aside, his legacy remains contentious as the enduring story illustrates:

In the 1950s, Manitoba Farmers’ Union president Jake Schultz was watching television on his Interlake farm, TV being a newfangled communications medium at the time, and Gardiner appeared on screen to extol the virtues of Liberal policy for farmers.

Schultz, later briefly a CCF MP in 1957-58 and father-in-law of future premier and governor general Ed Schreyer, was so outraged he grabbed his rifle and blew out his television screen.

In Saskatchewan, farmers’ union president Joe Phelps heard about it and organized a fundraiser among

members to buy Schultz a new TV. Such was the power of Gardiner to inflame opinion.

Even in his day and within his own government, this Saskatchewan farmer-politician was divisive.

Prime minister William Lyon Mackenzie King, exasperated by Gardiner’s belligerence in cabinet in defence of his farm policy demands and his take-no-prisoners style, wrote in his diary that the agriculture minister’s defects included going in the “Hitler direction.”

UNIVERSITY OF SASKATCHEWAN

Yet this hyper-partisan Liberal, former Saskatchewan premier and Lemberg, Sask., farmer, has also been lauded for turning the federal agriculture department into one of the key economic portfolios in Ottawa during the Second World War. He fought to get wheat marketing policy out of trade and into agriculture, improve the clout of agriculture within the government and create income policies for farmers.

“His greatest achievements were in the federal field, when as the minister of agriculture for 22 years, he promoted and expanded the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration, introduced the Prairie Farm Assistance Act and granted aid toward the reclamation of low-lying lands in the Maritimes,” said the citation when Gardiner was inducted into the Canadian Agricultural Hall of Fame in 1962.

Norman Ward and David Smith from the University of Saskatchewan wrote in their 1990 biography of Gardiner, Relentless Liberal, that he was a successful agriculture minister.

“He had arrived in the capital determined to raise agriculture into the front rank of portfolios from what he judged to be its previous adjunct, support role for the provinces,” they wrote.

“And he succeeded.”

During the war, he used belligerence, cabinet bullying and hard work to make agriculture’s effort to feed Britain, allies and the troops one of Canada’s key Canadian contributions.

However, in 1941, it would have been difficult to convince The Western Producer and its Saskatchewan Wheat Pool owner that Gardiner was on the farmer’s side.

Prices were dropping that year, following a record wheat crop of 514 million bushels in 1940 and the sudden closing of the European market after Germany’s capture of most of the continent. The surplus piled up, farm incomes tanked and Gardiner worked feverishly behind the scenes in Ottawa to find a way to compensate farmers.

He was a free marketer who was quickly converting into an interventionist to save the prairie farm industry, say Ward and Smith.

Yet he had no instant answers, and in a radio address, according to an outraged Western Producer editorial, he said: “There is no use sugaring the pill by trying to convince you we are trying to do something for you.”

The newspaper demanded Gardiner be moved to another portfolio because he had been ignoring farmer interests since 1935.

A principle for the minister, said the front page editorial in the paper’s

April 24, 1941, edition, was that farmers should be ignored.

“First amongst these (principles) was the determination that organized farmers as such must be excluded from the formation or direction of agricultural policy,” it said, citing dissolution of the advisory committee to the then-voluntary Canadian Wheat Board.

In fact, within government Gardiner was fighting for unprecedented help to deal with the 1941 wheat market meltdown.

The end result was an early version of the controversial Lower Inventories for Tomorrow (LIFT) program introduced by CWB minister Otto Lang almost 20 years later to deal with another glutted wheat market.

In the end, the result for Gardiner was unprecedented government intervention: farmers were limited in their deliveries through quotas, paid to store grain on the farm for the first time and subsidized to grow coarse grain rather than wheat.

As well, Ottawa implemented a government price support system and, for the first time, a two-price wheat system that forced millers in Canada to pay more.

And there were farm income supports.

Ward and Smith said the minister consulted widely with the pools and the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, and over much opposition within the government, ensured a stable wheat sector income for the year.

“My sense is he was a great believer in co-operation and the idea of consulting with the pools or farmers was a natural political disposition,” Smith said in a recent interview.

Gardiner also morphed from being an anti-CWB free trader in the 1930s to a supporter of the 1943 decision to make the wheat board’s marketing desk mandatory.

Through a political career that spanned more than 40 years, he gained enemies and critics but also admirers.

In 1959, the University of Saskatchewan gave Gardiner an honorary degree with the citation: “While he will best be remembered in Canada as a champion of the farmer’s cause, throughout the western world he will be remembered as the man who made an outstanding contribution to the Allied victory in the Second World War through his efficient and energetic direction of the mobilization of the food resources of Canada.”

But these days, in Canada or the western world, the longest serving Canadian agriculture minister who fought to transform federal responsibility for agriculture policy is barely remembered.

In an address over the radio last week, Hon. James G. Gardiner, Federal Minister of Agriculture, said: “There is no use sugaring the pill by trying to convince you we are trying to do something for you.” That is a commendable attitude. Plain, honest, frank speaking is always best and never better than when times are blackest. We need, therefore, make no apology for following the minister’s example.

Since he took over the portfolio of Agriculture in 1935, Mr. Gardiner has adhered fairly consistently to one or two principles. First amongst these was the determination that organized farmers as such must be excluded from the formation or direction of agricultural policy. The advisory committee to the Wheat Board, which contained strong producer representation was, therefore, immediately dissolved. Next the Wheat Board itself, established by his predecessors and which was built substantially, though not wholly, to the specifications submitted by the western Wheat Pools, was scuttled.

sales in Alberta.

The issue of ownership, and when precisely it’s transferred, was raised Jan. 21 at the organization’s annual general meeting.

“We sent down some slaughter heifers. They were delivered to a slaughter facility on Sunday and were slaughtered on Monday, when the plant had taken possession of them,” said Grace MacGregor, who recounted an alleged bad deal with an Alberta meat packer.

“During the slaughter process, one of the heifers went down in the killing chute — this was after their first inspection — and was taken out of the line and was disposed of separately.”

MacGregor, who operates a grain farm, cow-calf operation and small feedlot with her husband near Hughenden, said she was charged a disposal fee by the company, which she asked not be mentioned by name.

“It was clear to me that the plant owned these animals but we were not paid for that animal.”

MacGregor introduced a resolution at the meeting, which was passed, that asked the federation to talk with livestock producer groups and governments to determine if others have had similar problems.

The resolution also asked the federation to explore how the industry may pursue a standardized contract that would more clearly outline terms and conditions.

“What it does is it emphasizes the disparity between a multinational corporation and the lack of power of the individual producer,” said MacGregor.

The meeting was the federation’s first under its new name, which was changed from Wild Rose Agricultural Producers earlier this year.

Among the motions passed Jan 21 was one that eliminated “non-relevant resolutions” from the organization’s policy manual, including three notes regarding CWB. “A lot of these apply to the old CWB and the old situation,” said president Lynn Jacobson. “They didn’t apply to the situation as it is now and we have policies on the books to apply to the new situation and what we’re urging the government to do,” One resolution being removed states: “We support the goal to create a commercial, accountable and suitable grain handling and transportation system for the future. We also believe that the CWB must be a key participant in such a system.”

Added Jacobson: “We have another policy back in there saying that the CWB should be a viable player within the system. They don’t have to be the key individual anymore because basically they aren’t … but we want them to be a viable organization within this whole thing. The government made some promises when they changed the CWB that we think they should live up to. That’s what we are basing our policy on now.”

MANITOBA SUNFLOWERS | PRICE OUTLOOK

Confection sunflowers promise profits this year

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Production contracts above 30 cents per pound should make confection sunflowers one of Manitoba’s most profitable crops this year.

Confecs were priced 10 cents higher than black oil sunflowers in the third week of January, said Mike Durand, sales and purchasing manager with Nestibo Agra, a sunflower processor in Deloraine, Man. Old crop confectionary sunflowers were selling around 30 cents per lb. and old crop black oils were at 19 cents per lb. Contracts for new crop confecs were approximately 30 cents per lb. and black oils were 20 to 22 cents per lb.

It is a significant price gap relative to historic variances, said Ben Friesen, commodity purchasing manager with Keystone Grain, a special crops processor in Winkler, Man. “Traditionally, we’ve never had more than a five cent difference,” Friesen told Manitoba Ag Days in Brandon. “Now we’re sitting at a solid 10 cents.”

Manitoba farmers have taken notice of the price gap and want to grow confectionary sunflowers again, he added.

“There are guys coming back into the sunflower growing market that haven’t grown sunflowers for five or six years,” Friesen said.

“They’re looking at the crop chart….

At 32 cents (per lb.), confecs pencil out really well.”

Sunflower production in the United States was down 27 percent last year from 2012, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. It was the smallest harvest since 1989.

An extremely wet spring in North Dakota, which dominates U.S. production, prevented growers from seeding sunflowers last year.

Statistics Canada reported that Manitoba growers planted 70,000 acres of sunflowers in 2013, down from 100,000 in 2012.

The lack of acres has created a shortfall of confectionary sunflowers and driven up prices, Friesen said.

“We’re going to run out of them this year. By the time the new crop comes around, the confecs will be all cleaned up.”

Keystone had little trouble filling its acreage quota for confecs in 2014, when it offered new crop contracts at 32 cents per lb.

“Our confection contracts are already filled up,” Friesen said.

“We’re already maxed out on the confection contracts.”

Argentina’s sunflower harvest, which takes place in late February and early March, will dictate confectionary prices for the rest of this year.

“If Argentina has a huge crop, it’s really going to hit the sunflower market,” Friesen said.

“If they have a crop, they don’t hold it. They blow it out. They don’t care about the prices. They’ll drop the world price.”

Durand said a weakening market for canola and oilseeds this winter dragged down the price of black oil sunflowers,

which have become more popular with Manitoba growers.

Manitoba farmers have historically planted more confec sunflowers than black oils, but price differentials between black oils and confecs were narrow in 2012 and 2013 and black oils were sometimes higher.

Provincial acreage has been evenly split in recent years, but confecs are poised to reclaim their old status, Friesen said.

“We’re going to go back to where confecs will be higher (in acreage).”

Friesen expects Manitoba sunflower acreage to top 100,000 this year, which would be similar to 2012.

ALBERTA PESTS | FORECAST

Alberta pest maps warn of insect hot spots Scout fields regularly | Insect populations are expected to be similar to last year but environmental conditions can alter risk

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

Scott Meer’s crystal ball shows that crop-eating insects aren’t going to disappear this year from Alberta fields.

Alberta Agriculture’s Insect Pest Monitoring Network has released its 2014 insect forecast maps for the top Alberta pests.

Meer, an insect specialist with the department, recently hosted a chat with producers on Twitter and released the latest maps.

Studies and insect traps conducted last year indicate that Alberta farmers need to be vigilant in scouting for pests this spring and summer.

Grasshoppers

Wheat midge The 2014 wheat midge forecast indicates a general decrease for midge risk in southern Alberta but a large increase for midge risk in the eastern Peace River region.

of midge risk in their fields.

Individual fields throughout Alberta may still have economic levels of midge, and farmers must assess risk.

This year’s grasshopper forecast map is based on adult grasshopper counts conducted in early August.

The number of adults gives an indication of the number of eggs laid.

Environmental factors will also have an impact.

“My impression of the grasshopper forecast is that it is very similar to previous years.”

The Peace River region, which struggled with grasshoppers last year, will continue to have problems .

Farmers are advised to monitor areas that have traditionally higher grasshopper populations.

As well, grasshoppers tend to lay their eggs near areas of green growth in the fall that will provide potential food sources for emerging young the following spring. Keep an eye out along fence lines and roadsides.

Bertha armyworm was monitored last year through a series of pheromone-baited traps. Populations are normally kept in check by weather and natural enemies.

Meers believes it is possible to see a complete collapse of the population in central Alberta this year.

Nexera RR Hybrids rank HIGHEST in grower satisfaction†.

Cabbage seedpod weevil The pest was first discovered infesting canola in southern Alberta in 1995 and it now covers the province.

“We are now recommending careful scouting for CSPW in all counties south of and touching Highway 1 in Alberta,” said Meers.

Canola producers in southern Alberta and southern portion of central Alberta will have to check crops as they come into flower, he warned.

The earliest flowering crops are at the highest risk and should be monitored closely.

Larval feeding can result in yield losses of 15 to 20 percent.

AND MAKE MORE.

Pea leaf weevil Damage from this pest will likely be in similar areas as last year.

“Pea leaf weevil damage was lower in 2013, but don’t let that fool you,” Meers said. “A warm spring in 2014 would change all that.”

Low levels of damage were found in central Alberta, but serious risk is unlikely. Moisture in August appears to be a significant predictor of population changes.

Wheat stem sawfly The forecast is based on 71 fields in 17 municipalities in southeastern Alberta. The most significant populations were in Forty Mile County.

“Wheat stem numbers are down, but there are still several areas with a population for a rebound if dry weather returns,” said Meers. †

CROP DISEASES | ALBERTA OUTLOOK

Control measures urged to keep diseases from spreading

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

LETHBRIDGE — Bumper crops made headlines across the Prairies last year, but plant diseases also reared their smutty heads.

“The single most important factor that affects the development of infectious diseases is the weather,” said Ron Howard of the Alberta Crop Development Centre in Brooks, Alta.

Mike Harding, a plant pathologist with Alberta Agriculture, warned that 2014 could be another bad year.

“We have had three years in a row where we have had a significant reservoir of diseases,” he told the Irrigated Crop Production Update in Lethbridge Jan. 21.

Harding said Alberta weather was variable last year.

Some parts experienced the wettest growing season in 50 years while most of southern Alberta was near normal or moderately high for precipitation.

“There were a lot of situational things going on, so not everyone had the same environment, even if they were living within 20 miles of each other,” he said.

Climate change could increase disease severity or cause more warm weather infections to occur. Infected plants, equipment, containers that hold plants, agricultural machinery, insects or wind could introduce new troubles.

“Soil moving on machinery is one

of the main ways we are getting fields infested with clubroot in canola,” Howard told the conference.

Stripe rust, fusarium and Goss’s wilt of corn were diagnosed last year.

Stripe rust on wheat and barley was found in several regions.

The disease thrives in cool nights and can reduce yields by 70 percent if not controlled. Spore showers on the wind usually come from Washington, Oregon and California.

It is spreading north and east on the Prairies into Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Alberta’s Peace River district.

Fusarium likes warm, humid conditions. New strains are occurring that produce more toxins and may be even more infectious.

“It was first found in Manitoba, but in the past two decades it has moved westward and is now established in southern Alberta,” Howard said.

Last year was ideal for fusarium head blight and ergot, according to Canadian Grain Commission surveys.

Southern Alberta crop districts had different strains of fusarium. It usually occurs in two to 10 percent of samples, but it was as high as 20 to 25 percent last year.

The disease was also detected in central Alberta along the Highway 16 corridor.

“It is not commonly found outside irrigated Alberta,” Harding said.

“There is reason to believe that could be changing.”

Northern Alberta saw a few con-

Ergot often starts in ditches so mowing grass is advised. | firmed cases last year, but it is rarely found in that region.

Ergot cases spiked in Canadian western red spring wheat in 2012 and increased slightly last year in some isolated regions.

It often starts in ditches, so farmers should mow down grass before it heads.

“We don’t have any technology that we can buy and spray on them to reduce ergot,” Harding said.

Goss’s wilt in corn was seen for the first time in Alberta last year. It was discovered in Manitoba in 2009 and has spread throughout the province.

Last year it was found in five of 45 fields that were surveyed in Alberta.

Canola producers continue to fight against clubroot and blackleg.

New blackleg strains are challenging disease resistant varieties. A large provincial survey is underway to track it and discover what strains are present.

Clubroot affects canola, mustard and other members of the cabbage family and has been found at varying levels in 24 Alberta counties. Some

infested fields have been found in Saskatchewan and Manitoba. It was first seen in 12 fields in 2003 and was up to 1,500 positive fields in 2013.

“There are probably significant fields that have not been detected,” Howard said.

Verticillium wilt cannot be controlled with fungicides. It does well in the southern Alberta environment and could easily establish without variety resistance or chemicals to control it.

Alberta pulses are seeing more blight, although it usually needs higher temperatures and more humidity to establish itself.

Peas are susceptible to root rot. A 2013 survey looked at 150 fields in Alberta and found most had root rot of various types Aphanomyces root rot was seen in sugar beets, but no one is sure if it has crossed over to peas.

“Some fields were literally hammered with root rot, and in other fields it wasn’t common,” Harding said.

Late blight occurs worldwide in potatoes, and outbreaks started in 2010-11 in Alberta. It started in garden tomatoes and has the potential to spread to commercial potato production through seed.

“We are really aiming at the home gardeners and market gardeners to control their seeds,” Howard said.

Cereal diseases were prevalent last year, said Harding, including barley scald, net blotch and tan spot and septoria and stripe rust on wheat.

A disease survey in central Alberta found a 65 percent incidence of scald, ranging from mild to serious.

The situation was probably similar in the south, said Harding.

“They found net blotch in every barley field they visited.”

There was a 25 percent incidence of barley spot splotch and about the same amount of stripe rust in winter wheat fields, he said.

However, the incidence was low enough in many cases that it did not need to be sprayed with fungicide.

As well, loose smut was found on barley and a variety of wheat leaf diseases such as septoria, tan spot and stagonospora.

“These are the dominant pathogens we see on wheat. There were lots of examples in wheat fields where there was disease pressure,” Harding said.

Sclerotinia is seen every year and is common on irrigated areas. Plant scientists thought it would be a lot worse, but it was not as serious as expected in canola and dry beans.

DIVERSIFICATION | LINKING INFORMATION

Input companies embrace integrated agriculture Fingers in many pies | Companies that provide a product or service are keen on integrating information to diversify

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Integrated agriculture will likely be one of the Top 10 buzzwords at North American farm conferences and workshops this year, but it will be nothing new for Jim Budzynski.

Budzynski, managing partner of MacroGain Partners, an Indiana investment and consulting firm specializing in agri-food and energy, has been using the phrase for at least a year.

In a presentation he gave at an ag innovation conference in St. Louis

last fall, Budzynski described integrated ag as a convergence of four distinct farm business sectors: crop protection, seeds and biotechnology, crop nutrition and equipmentprecision ag.

He said farmers can improve crop yields, increase the efficiency of inputs and promote environmentally sustainable practices if they successfully combine those four sectors.

“All four of these areas are kind of m o r p h i n g i nt o o n e p l at f o r m,” Budzynski said in a recent interview.

“For example, if Monsanto takes one of their varieties and (uses) a biological product that helps resist fungal pathogens, a biological that improves nutrient availability and site specific plant seed planting equipment… what business are they in? All of them…. They are building platforms across all these lines. At the end of the day, that is about getting efficient.”

Monsanto announced Jan. 8 that it has developed a new technology service called Integrated Farming Systems.

The company described it as a ser-

vice that will help “farmers get more from every acre by integrating expertise in seed science, field science, data analysis and precision equipment.”

Monsanto said it will use integrated data and technology to provide customized agronomic solutions for a particular field.

“The data driven, scientific technologies Monsanto is developing are things we’ve never had before,” Iowa farmer Jeff Frank said in a Monsanto news release.

“As farmers, we have to take advantage of any opportunity we can to

increase our yield potential.”

Monsanto shocked many in the ag investment community in 2013 when it bought Climate Corp., a California firm that provides field scale weather data, for $930 million.

Ignacio Martinez, a partner with Flagship Ventures, a Massachusetts investment firm, said the Climate Corp. purchase was a signal that Monsanto is serious about diversifying beyond seeds, traits and crop protection. It wants to become a service provider, selling information and advice to farmers. “ You see Bayer, Syngenta and Monsanto talking about offering integrated solutions to their customers,” Martinez told an agriculture innovation conference in Winnipeg last fall.

Budzynski said combining knowledge and data from crop nutrition, crop protection, biologics and seeds and biotech could help tackle an agricultural challenge such as phosphorus.

“Phosphate is a perfect example.

Rather than continuing to apply more than we need and face some of these non-target effects, how do we make sure the product we put down is available to the plant and not available to wash away and end up in a waterway?” he said.

“To me, these are the science questions as an industry we need to be focused on.”

Budzynski has his own buzzword to describe the trend toward integrated agriculture: Agriculture 3.0.

He said it is similar to sustainable agriculture, with one important caveat.

“To me the missing link in the sustainable ag story is it’s primarily driven by an environmental message,” he said.

“The real driver of Ag 3.0 is the combination of environmental and an economic message.”

Water, fertilizer, seed, technology and other input costs have skyrocketed over the last several years, and it’s now too expensive to grow food inefficiently.

Budzynski said farmers would embrace integrated systems that increase profitability and benefit the environment.

“Economic rationale is always what it takes to get adoption in a price driven industry.”

As part of its foray into agricultural information and consulting, Monsanto is launching a service called FieldScripts in Minnesota, Iowa, Indiana and Illinois this year.

The Monsanto website describes FieldScripts as a service that provides “hybrid matches and a variable rate planting prescription to improve corn yield opportunity.”

Growers usually plant a consistent amount of seed across a field, or plant a variable rate with limited information on “yield environments,” Monsanto says.

Instead, FieldScripts uses information on how particular corn hybrids respond to plant population density to plant less seed in areas with low potential and more seed in high potential areas.

BECKER KNIFE | PROS AND CONS

Ka-Bar Becker Campanion jack-of-all-trades, master of none

KIM QUINTIN

T

he Ka-Bar Becker Campanion is a medium to large knife manufactured in the United States.

The all black, 10.5 inch tool was designed by Ethan Becker and is made from 1095 Cro-Van high carbon steel with a 5.25 by two inch blade that is 1/4 inch thick along the spine and weighs one pound.

Becker, who is known as an expert cook, knife designer and wilderness person, has collaborated with a number of respected knife brands.

However, his main series of knives is produced by Ka-Bar, the same company that manufactures the well-known U.S. Marine Corps knife.

The Becker Campanion is marketed as an all-around knife capable of chopping kindling, preparing campsite meals and skinning game.

The handle has a full tang for strength and removable Zytel scales for cleaning ease. The handle butt is exposed and flattened to be used as a hammer and has a lanyard hole for optional safety. A thick, black coating protects the high carbon steel from exposure to the elements.

JAPAN | TRACTOR MAKER

Kubota eyes North America OSAKA, Japan (Reuters) — Japan’s Kubota Corp. plans to sell powerful, large tractors in North America and Europe next year.

Company president Yasuo Masumoto said Kubota was seeking a joint venture with a European or U.S. company this year to produce the tractors, which will have a horsepower of at least 200.

The company had previously raised the prospect of adding the 200 h.p. tractors to its line-up through acquisitions, but Masumoto said that route would take too much time.

“There’s no progress on an acquisition and we have to get into big machines,” he said.

Kubota is targeting sales of about 300 units of these larger tractors in the year to March 2016, he added.

The North American market for large tractors is dominated by Deere & Co., CNH Industrial NV and Agco Corp.

Kubota is one of the world’s biggest manufacturers of equipment used in paddy farming, but it wants to expand into the market for wheat, corn and soybeans, which globally cover about four times the land area used for rice cultivation.

The company’s tractors now go up to 135 h.p. at most, which is insufficient for large farms.

Last year, Kubota invested $55 million in a plant in northern France, and plans to produce up to 170 h.p. tractors in April 2015 for the North American and European markets.

execution gives this knife some serious shortcomings.

The lightly textured handle surface becomes slippery when wet. The thick blade material combined with the Saber grind makes for poor game processing. The out-of-the-box edge would tear but not slice paper. The overall length is not conducive to wood chopping and feels short when used in this manner.

In tests, the Becker Campanion was excellent at batoning tree branches less than three inches in diameter.

The coating resisted wearing well.

The knife responded easily to sharpening, which elevated its performance, but one would be wise to carry an additional smaller, thinner knife for more effective food and

game processing.

The Becker Campanion is a tool that tries to do too much. It can serve in a variety of outdoor tasks but does not excel at any one of them.

The tool would serve well enough in almost all situations if it was the only one available, but if other options are present they will probably get the job done more effectively.

Powered by Solumax® soluble granules, Barricade® II also delivers one-hour rainfastness and easier, more consistent sprayer cleanout. It’s no wonder growers made it Western Canada’s premier broadleaf herbicide for cereals.

There are many reasons to buy a pre-owned John Deere tractor or combine, and they all come down to one thing. Value.

Technology. Consider–a 3-year old John Deere 8R. When it came off the line it was AutoTrac™ Ready and JDLink™ enabled*. With one phone call to your dealer, you can begin using precision technology to help reduce inputs, improve yields, and get more done in less time.

Uptime. You can’t make money standing still. Pre-owned John Deere equipment, like a 9770 Combine, comes fully supported by your John Deere dealer. The pay-off: reliable, consistent performance, backed by an unrivaled dealer network.

Resale value. John Deere tractors and combines are among the best in the industry at holding their value. So when the time comes and you’re ready to trade up to another used or new John Deere tractor or combine, your investment delivers yet again.

Now is a great time to buy. Visit 0DFKLQHƟQGHU FRP to search our impressive selection of used John Deere equipment, then schedule some time with your John Deere dealer DQG DVN DERXW VSHFLDO SUH RZQHG GHDOV DQG LQFHQWLYHV 6SHFLDO ƟQDQFLQJ DOVR DYDLODEOH through John Deere Financial.

Glenmor welcomes Salford

Glenmor offers you Degelman Degelman designers are passionate about getting it right. Farm tools with the least amount of moving parts will simply last longer. Degelman is renowned for building overbuilt and under complicated equipment. Less is always more.

A Pro-Till® cultivator has the unique ability to cultivate and warm the soil during cold wet conditions when all other forms of tillage plug and fail.

In the midst of a long wet spring, getting seed in the ground to allow adequate time for the growing season is critical. Heavy cold soils need to be black and warm for ideal germination conditions. In as little as one day and after one pass, frigid heavy residue soil is cut, turned, mixed, reactivated, warmed, topically dried and ready for planting/seeding. Pro-Till® in the spring can mean the difference between success and failure.

Call Glenmor today, or visit www.degelman.com

Glenmor proudly welcomes Salford Farm Machinery as their newest line of farm equipment. The Salford RTS series are high speed residue management tools that take on cool wet soils in spring to help accelerate soil warming and improve seed to soil contact. The RTS helps to alleviate compaction, and independently mounted coulters have almost no residue limitations. Salford also offers a full line of tillage tools and precision air seeding equipment.

Experience the Salford Difference.

Through the expansion of maize cultivation in the past few years in particular, the plough has regained its importance as a primary cultivator. The reduction of plant diseases, mechanical pest control due to increasing chemical resistance, and the fight against new pests, are among the most important tasks facing a plough today. Recent research has shown that loosening and aerating the root zone, with a plough, can improve the formation of rape roots, for example, thus laying the foundation for high and guaranteed yields.

THE C2 CONTOUR SHEDS TRASH LIKE NEVER BEFORE The next generation C2 Contour let you cut through trash and makes opener adjustments easier. The independent opener features parallel linkage for ultra-precise seed and fertilizer placement. Adjustable packing pressure lets you pull through damp spots. Opener spacing options are 10” and 12”.

At the heart of the C2 Contour’s improved ability to shed trash is the design of the single shank. The reclined 12-degree angle moves trash up and off the shank faster.

The distance from the ground level to the catch point has been increased to 21 inches on the C2 Contour, greatly reducing the potential for straw bunching.

PRAIRIE LIVESTOCK, FORAGE PRODUCTION | FEDERAL AND PROVINCIAL FUNDING

Alberta, Sask. forage, livestock sectors get funding Federal funding for Canadian pork marketing | Federal and provincial funds also announced for 27 research projects in Saskatchewan

BY DAN YATES, KAREN BRIERE, MARY MACARTHUR

Saskatchewan livestock research

SASKATOON NEWSROOM, REGINA, CAMROSE BUREAUS

In Saskatchewan, the federal and provincial governments increased research spending for more livestock and forage projects.

The two governments announced $4.2 million in research spending for 27 projects, which is up from $3.4 million for 23 projects last year.

Provincial agriculture minister Lyle Stewart said innovation drives increases in production.

“We’re on the northern fringe of the livestock producing area of North America and so we find that it pays big dividends for us to do research in Saskatchewan for what works best,” he told reporters after the announcement at the Saskatchewan Beef Industry Conference.

Projects include $1.8 million for beef research, $1.1 million for swine, nearly $472,000 for dairy, $335,000 for poultry and $282,500 for forage.

The University of Saskatchewan will receive nearly $1.4 million of the total, and the Vaccine and infectious Disease Organization will receive $890,000.

Other re cipients include the Western Beef Development Centre, the Western College of Veterinary Medicine, the Prairie Swine Centre, Agriculture Canada and the Saskatchewan Alfalfa Seed Producers

The federal government was busy making funding announcements last week pertaining to livestock and forage production and marketing.

At the Banff Pork Seminar, agriculture minister Gerry Ritz’s announcement of $15 million to support pork marketing initiatives at home and abroad was received positively by industry officials, whose attention didn’t drift from major issues of trade and market access.

“It’s good to hear some support today, but we could do more, we can do better, at supporting our pork industry,” Maple Leaf’s Troy Warren told the conference.

“I would suggest probably as an industry in Canada we receive some of the least amount of support with respect to marketing money for international trade development, fighting for our rights in terms of negotiating with countries,” he said.

The five-year financial commitment will fund promotional efforts domestically, where Canadian pork fights for customers with American meat, and in markets such as Japan, the European Union and South America.

“We need to be fully recognized at

EDOUARD ASNONG CANADA PORK INTERNATIONAL

home and abroad as a reliable supplier of high quality pork products,” said Edouard Asnong, chair of Canada Pork International, which will receive the funds.

Speaking at the event and to reporters, Ritz touted Canada’s Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement with the European Union, which will allow for up to 75,000 tonnes of Canadian pork into that market, up from the previous quota of 6,000 tonnes.

“They’re professional protectionists. They’re really good at it,” said American economist Steve Meyer of Paragon Economics.

“I don’t know if it’s as big a deal as what it’s being made out to be by the government.”

Industry officials expressed greater interest in the Trans-Pacific Partnership and ongoing talks with South Korea, where the U.S. has already established a free trade agreement.

“Another year can’t pass without us getting a deal,” said Warren. “It’s just not acceptable from my perspective.”

Development Commission.

“There’s a project to try to improve the yield and marbling in beef cattle, a project to develop a new legume forage plant,” Stewart said.

Another will examine how to reduce the effects of ergot-contaminated feed. Industry spokespeople said the research dollars are welcome because they lead to long-term benefits.

Producers attending the Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association’s annual meeting and the Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association semiannual meeting last week passed resolutions of support for the Saskatchewan Forage Network to coordinate research priorities on behalf of all livestock producers.

The network was announced a year ago as a way for industry partners to work together to direct research.

Rancher Murray McGillivray of Radville, Sask., said it is particularly important for the network to continue and work with the incoming forage research chair at the U of S. “There is a lot of strength in the forage network,” added SCA director Ryan Sommerfeld in addressing the motion during the SCA meeting.

The government contributions are funded through Growing Forward 2 and Saskatchewan’s Agriculture Development Fund.

Forage in Peace district The federal funding announcement in Alberta will help maintain forages as part of the crop rotation in the Peace River region.

Jennifer Otani, an entomologist with Agriculture Canada, hoped the $923,000 will continue to show the importance of forages in a crop rotation, especially in Alberta and British Columbia’s Peace River region.

Historically, forages have been an important part of the crop rotation for farmers in the Peace River region, especially with its shorter number of growing days but longer day length.

Like other crops, forage seed is losing the acreage battle to high income crops such as wheat and canola and forage acres have been taken out of production. One of the biggest barriers to forage production is the difficulty getting forages in and out of the crop rotation.

The federal research station in Beaverlodge will use a portion of the funds to examine the soil and nutrient benefits of forages and show how forage is a good alternative financially over the four year life of the crop.

“We feel forage seed has a vital role in crop rotation,” she said.

Forage crops don’t generate as much income as canola or wheat, but they also don’t use the same input costs.

HITTING THE SLOPES

CANOLA | CHOOSING VARIETY

Don’t give top priority to canola yield: expert Consider agronomic factors and disease resistance

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

All farmers want a high-yielding canola crop.

However, it should be the last thing they worry about when choosing a canola variety.

“Ignore the yield,” Angela Brackenreed, an agronomy specialist for Manitoba with the Canola Council of Canada, recently told Manitoba Ag Days.

“If you’re looking at an Excel spreadsheet or something like that, cover up the yield column and first select for the traits you desire on your farm or on a field by field basis.”

Farmers usually look first for the highest-yielding varieties and then select from those for what looks like the best for their farm.

However, Brackenreed said that is doing things backwards.

She said canola is not just a highly valuable crop, but one with many risks that can ravage its yield, such as diseases and weeds. Yield potential is only one factor.

Farmers who want to produce a good canola crop should focus first on crops with good resistance to diseases they suffer from, which operate within the herbicide tolerance regime they want to employ and which contain the special agronomic

ANGELA BRACKENREED CANOLA COUNCIL OF CANADA

abilities they value.

Some varieties are strong against blackleg, which has been a problem in Manitoba in recent years. Some produce plants that stand independently, while others lodge. There is a huge range of attributes that a farmer can choose, but no variety has them all, so farmers need to decide what’s most important.

Brackenreed said farmers need to work out the package of features they want in their canola crop and then look at their options. That’s when they can start looking at yield as a factor among the crops that offer what they are looking for.

Brackenreed said with so many good varieties from which to choose, farmers don’t just need to run for a handful of high-yielding varieties to get a crop.

Instead, they have a few dozen to look at, so they can take more care with choosing the right package for their farm, she added.

SEEDING SURVEY | SPEED FACTOR

Easing up on gas pedal boosts germination, emergence

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

BRANDON — Many Manitoba farmers have a lead foot when they’re seeding, and a canola specialist is telling them to ease back on the accelerator.

“Apparently, Manitobans have the need for speed when it comes to seeding,” Angela Brackenreed, the Canola Council of Canada’s agronomy specialist for Manitoba, said during a session at Manitoba Ag Days.

Twenty percent of the province’s farmers exceed six m.p.h. when seeding, according to a canola council farmer survey. It’s well above recommended speeds and likely to create a poor crop.

“There is conclusive evidence that shows that you get better survivability, more uniform emergence with lower speeds,” said Brackenreed.

Manitoba farmers tended to travel

faster than either Saskatchewan or Alberta farmers when seeding, she added.

Brackenreed said the survey identified farmers with low and high yielding crops in each region and then looked for common characteristics of each group.

The high yielders tended to drive slower than five m.p.h., while 56 percent of the low yielders were driving faster than five m.p.h.

The crucial impact of seeding speed was obvious even in a research project that involved different groups.

One team that drove three m.p.h. was able to keep seed placement in a band from half an inch to 1.25 inches deep, while a group going five m.p.h. and trying to place seed half an inch into the soil ended up with seeds one to 2.25 inches deep.

“It just shows you what just a little bit slower can do for you as far as consistency,” Brackenreed said.

CLUBROOT | PREVENTION

CLUBROOT | AGRONOMY

Limit soil transfer on equipment Shorter rotations to minimize risk of clubroot give clubroot Remove clumps of soil to prevent spores infecting clean fields

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

BRANDON — Making farm equipment 99.9 percent free of clubroot risk is more than almost any farmer is willing to do, says an Edmonton area canola agronomist.

However, farmers shouldn’t think that it isn’t worth getting equipment 95 percent free.

“I truly believe that the movement of soil is much, much more than we ever thought,” Dan Orchard, a Canola Council of Canada agronomist, said during a panel discussion at Manitoba Ag Days Jan. 21.

Orchard said soil moved by farm equipment is the biggest way clubroot spores get moved from infected to clean fields. Getting that soil off of the equipment before it gets into the field is key to control.

Orchard said maximum protection with sterilizing and bleaching is probably more than any farmer can feasibly do at seeding time.

“It’s hard to justify cleaning a drill for 12 hours when it’s beautiful out and you’ve got 2,000 acres to seed,” said Orchard.

DAN ORCHARD CANOLA COUNCIL OF CANADA

However, farmers can probably eliminate most of the risk to their fields by “taking a shovel and knocking off the loose, visible debris and soil.”

Partial control is better than no control. Clubroot will get into most fields over time, but it only become a crop-crashing problem if it gets out of control.

That typically happens when farmers push rotations and allow lots of clubroot-containing soil to come into the field. No one thinks 100 percent protection from soil is possible, but tiny amounts aren’t a true threat.

“Really, a little bit of soil on your shoe isn’t going to cause an outbreak,” said Orchard.

“It’s the big clumps of dirt coming in on seeding equipment.”

Orchard also asked farmers to be

reasonable with oil service workers and others coming onto farmland because control measures need to be equally shared.

“I think it’s unfair to ask them to do more than you’re doing,” said Orchard. “If you’re not doing anything at all and someone wants to drive into a right-of-way on your field, and you go ask them to go disinfect and sterilize and bleach everything, and you’re not doing it, I’m not sure that’s fair.”

However, he said asking everyone, including yourself, to knock off clods and clumps of dirt from machinery is essential to keeping infection levels low enough to be handled by adequate rotation spacing.

“You have to understand the risks you’re taking by cutting some of these corners,” said Orchard.

the advantage Lessons from Alberta | Farmers pushed rotations for financial reasons and paid the price

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

BRANDON — Dangerous rotations were one of the two main causes of the mass outbreak of clubroot in the Edmonton area a decade ago, those close to the situation say.

However, it’s hard for farmers to always follow the recommended rotations when they have to stay in business.

“When it comes to rotating it, it’s easy to talk about, but if you’ve got bills to pay … it puts you between a rock and a hard spot,” said central Alberta farmer Richard Petherbridge, recalling the early 2000s.

Petherbridge saw his fields ruined by clubroot, a disaster for thousands of central Alberta farmers who lost the ability to grow their best moneymaking crop for years.

A lot of heavy harrowing and discing takes place in the heavy soil of that region, mixing it up and allowing clubroot spores to spread wide and deep.

No resistant varieties were available at the time and canola rotations were too short. As a result, the spore load ran rampant, and the Alberta outbreak was devastating.

Dan Orchard, a Canola Council of Canada agronomist in the Edmonton area, said most farmers grew canola every second year, while 10 to 20 percent grew the crop two out of every three years.

Only a small percentage grew canola every third or fourth year, which is the recommended frequency. However, they were the ones who survived.

“It’s the guys who grew it every third or fourth year that weren’t finding those large patches on their field,” said Orchard.

Those farmers eventually saw patches of clubroot-crippled canola but not entire ruined fields like those with shorter rotations.

“It never got to the point that they lost a crop from it,” said Orchard.

“I think that intense rotation combined with excessive tillage was probably your main culprit.”

Petherbridge said everyone knew too-short rotations were dangerous, but farmers found it often impossible to make any money in farming those days. As a result, they became convinced that growing canola back to back or every two years was financially necessary.

There are only a few clubrootresistant canola varieties available and if they aren’t rotated they will lose their resistance. | FILE PHOTO

He said he remembers $1.65 per bushel barley and $3.50 wheat from that time but much better prices for canola. It is what drove local farmers to seed canola again and again.

Orchard recalls a friend worrying about losing out on good canola prices if he stuck to a four year rotation.

“It’s so much about economics,” said Orchard.

However, even though it can be hard to grow a less-returning crop than canola, farmers need to realize the dangers they’re playing with if they don’t stick to good rotations.

Orchard said only a couple of clubroot-resistant families of canola are available, and those will lose their resistance if they’re not rotated.

Farmers also probably don’t want to choose from only a handful of varieties, which is their fate if they become heavily clubroot-infected.

Keeping fields to only low levels of clubroot spores leaves farmers with a wide range of seed choices, but heavily infected fields force farmers to grow nothing but resistant varieties.

NATIONAL WESTERN STOCK SHOW | MARKETING

Canadian breeders find buyers in Denver Hereford sales | Canadians make the long trip to Western Stock Show to capitalize on lucrative American market

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

DENVER, Colo. — For two longtime Hereford breeders, the National Western Stock Show in Denver is the place to be if they want to trade cattle.

Hills Galore Stock Farm at Hazlet, Sask., has been in the Hereford business for 54 years. Owner Alvin Pawlitza had travelled to Denver since 1997 until the BSE crisis blocked him in 2003.

He decided to return last year, and the response was so good that he made selling registered Herefords part of his business plan.

“We seem to be able to find a market for them here,” he said.

“This is where it’s hot.”

Pawlitza and his wife, Mary-Kate, annually sell 60 to 70 purebred Hereford and Angus bulls from the ranch. This year they took a pen of heifers and a pen of bulls to show and sell.

“We had a good response last year so we decided to come back,” he said while relaxing in his booth in an area of the show referred to as “the yards.”

It is part of the historical Union Stockyards where cattle, sheep and hogs were bought, sold and sent to nearby packing plants.

Today, the corral pens are taken over by breeders, who show their cattle outdoors whether it snows, rains or blows. There were windy days this year, but the temperature hovered around 10 C. The stock show is not as large as it once was, which is a reflection of North America’s smaller cow herd, said Pawlitza.

Yet for him, it remains a major marketplace to showcase his cattle to visitors from around the world.

Canadians offer different pedigrees and genetics, and displaying them outdoors allows potential customers to take a good look beyond the well primped animals presented in the show ring.

Pawlitza sold semen and 20 heifers off the farm because of contacts he made at the show last year and he was hoping to repeat that success.

LIMOGES

It is a big commitment that takes him and his crew of helpers away from home for 12 days. The work gets done with help from his children, nieces, nephews and friends.

Karl Lischka of ANL Polled Herefords is another longtime competitor at Denver going back to the late 1980s.

“This is a good place to market cattle,” he said.

Half the cattle from his annual production sale end up stateside, which he attributes to his presence at the stock show.

We seem to be able to find a market for them here.

This is where it’s hot.

ALVIN PAWLITZA HILLS GALORE STOCK FARM

He sold two heifers from his stalls in Denver to a buyer in Missouri. They will not come back to Canada.

He would like to take advantage of

the latest marketing opportunity: selling females into the growing junior program. Heifers are going for up to six figures to youth members.

His family has been breeding Herefords for 50 years, and even though he has bought many American bulls, he feels he can still offer something different from what is found in the larger U.S. herd.

The U.S. is a lucrative market because Americans are willing to pay top dollar. Interest in Herefords is rebuilding as producers look for straight bred cattle as well as viable

crosses with their Angus.

These animals retain the hardiness of a British breed and can be sold into the Certified Angus Beef program or the certified Hereford beef scheme in the United States.

They can also handle rough conditions presented to them in the U.S. Plains.

“There is more land that is harsher than Canada,” he said.

Denver is 1,300 kilometres from his farm at Steelman, Sask., but he considers it the Super Bowl of beef shows.

Clark Brenzil of Saskatchewan Agriculture said an increasing number of cases have come through the Crop Protection Lab in Regina in which producers apply one herbicide and see injury symptoms from another.

The lab says that sprayer contamination caused all of the cases last year.

“The key sign about tank contamination is when you’ve got injury that runs in a straight line, and only

equipment runs in a straight line,” he said during an integrated canola pest panel discussion at CropSphere in Saskatoon Jan. 14.

Sprayer contamination becomes a bigger problem in diversified cropping systems with different sensitivities to different groups of herbicides.

“That means that we have to be really on the ball about making sure our sprayers are cleaned out when we go from one crop to the next,” Brenzil said.

Contamination occurs when herbicide deposits form in the sprayer, whether in the tank, screens, nozzles or the overall plumbing during previous applications.

“There may be successive layers that build up over time. It may be

even two or three crops beyond the one that you’re treating is the one that ends up showing injury, but it tends to be in crops that are very sensitive to herbicide injury,” he said.

“That’s a ticking time bomb for when you get one of those cleaning type herbicides or adjuvants that come into the system and flush all that stuff out and injure the crop.”

Most lab cases in the past five years have involved Liberty applied to LibertyLink canola. The adjuvants in Liberty are soapy and act as detergents in the tank, which break down fatty substances.

Other herbicide applications involving solvent based adjuvants, such as Merge or Turbocharge, can also clean fatty substances out of the tank.

Brenzil said a Group 2 herbicide is the contaminant herbicide in most cases, but it isn’t what necessarily causes the deposit. That usually occurs when it is applied in association with something with an oil or fat based adjuvant. The fat can layer over the Group 2 herbicide and trap it in the sprayer’s plumbing.

Damage can also occur several loads after the contaminant herbicide was applied.

“Canola is probably one of the most susceptible crops to Group 2 injury, so you’ve got the perfect storm occurring when you’re applying to LibertyLink canola,” he said.

A common assumption is that multiple tanks of another herbicide that isn’t a contaminant type will clean

enough of the problem herbicide out of the tank so that no cleaning is necessary before going into a sensitive crop.

“That’s not necessarily the case,” he said.

Brenzil said he saw a scenario last year in which several tanks showed no injury and then one tank “completely obliterates the canola in that area and then subsequent tanks are fine.” It was the first time he had ever seen that occur.

Lab tests determined that the tank load that caused the injury had sat for a significant time with Liberty inside the sprayer.

CROP MANAGEMENT | DISEASE

Root rot becoming menace in pea fields

BY REBECA KUROPATWA FREELANCE WRITER

Alberta pea growers have a new enemy to worry about.

“Root rots on pea crops have become more common and more severe in some fields in Alberta in the past four years,” says Michael Harding, a research scientist with Alberta Agriculture.

“The main culprit causing root rot on pea crops has been identified as fusarium avenaceum, but there are other species that are part of a complex of fungi that also cause problems on pea roots.”

Harding said the root rot complex has been active in some pea fields,

prompting additional research to determine why the problem in some areas is increasing in incidence and severity.

“A survey of 145 pea fields in Alberta in 2013 showed us that fusarium root rot was found in 98 percent of the fields,” he said.

“However, the severity of the disease ranged from very low in some fields to extremely high in others.”

The overall severity was highest in east-central Alberta and lowest in southern Alberta, although no sampling was done in the Peace River region last year.

“We know that aspects of field history, soil quality and environmental conditions will affect root rot, but at

this stage of the investigation, we can’t pinpoint exactly why some fields were nearly destroyed by root rot while others were unaffected.”

Harding said climate and precipitation are likely major factors.

“In Alberta, there has been significant and often above-average precipitation in many regions from May to June for the past four years,” he said.

“This environment, with abundant precipitation, flooding and cool wet soils, give a distinct advantage to root rot and often increases root rot disease severity.”

Management practices are available to alleviate the problem and fall into three categories:

• Avoid fields with poor drainage or a high risk of flooding.

• Use healthy seed with high vigour, which avoids a slow, weak start to the crop. Slow, weak seedlings are at greater risk for root and seed rot, especially in cold, wet soil. Also, apply a registered fungicidal seed treatment to protect the developing seedling and promote rapid, healthy crop stands.

• Prepare a good seed bed, targeting optimal seeding timing, depth and seeding rate. Provide good fertility for the seedling and, where possible, optimal water via irrigation. However, avoid over-irrigating. Practice good crop rotation to limit the pathogen’s ability to live in the soil.

WHAT IS ROOT ROT? • “Rot” refers to a condition of softening and/or discoloration of plant tissues caused by a pathogen infection (i.e. bacterium or fungus).

• Root rot often involves the invasion of healthy plant roots by soil-borne fungi, causing discoloration, stunting and softening of root tissues.

• Damage prevents the root system from adequately suppling the plant with nutrients and water, which causes wilting, stunting and yellowing.

• Not all plants are susceptible to all root rot pathogens, but no crop is resistant to all root rot pathogens.

All crops are to some degree susceptible to root rot.

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE “It’s got more time to do more cleaning and so it pulls out a very concentrated amount of that contaminant herbicide and goes out on the field and it completely kills the canola,” he said.

The late start to seeding and variable weather combined to cause significant problems last year. As a result there were sporadic periods when sprayers operated for a day or two and then sat for two or three days.

“That’s not only going to contribute to more layering on the front end of the contaminant but it’s also going to contribute to those really catastrophic removal events where you get complete death to that one tank load.”

Brenzil said many farmers also assume that spraying glyphosate will alleviate the problem.

“There’s an assumption out there that glyphosate will clean things out of tanks after you’ve got Group 2 combination ahead of time,” he said.

Brenzil said the new glyphosate formulations are oily and easily layer on tanks. This may coat more fat over the top of the contaminant and trap it even more.

Prepass and Priority products also stood out last year as some of the primary contaminant sources by forming solids and settling.

Good sprayer sanitation is the key.

Brenzil said the sprayer needs to be cleaned out with at least water but preferably a full cleanout after any prolonged period of inactivity.

“Don’t let that stuff sit in the tank and layer things on the inside of the sprayer,” he said.

As a short-term solution during the summer, Brenzil advised letting water sit in the tank after it’s been emptied and cleaned before resuming spraying.

Using an ammonium based cleaner is recommended for Group 2, but it is not a strong enough grease cutter.

“Don’t be afraid to add detergent into that ammonia rinse or even use one of the commercial tank cleaners that have both of those as a component,” he said.

“The detergent breaks down the oil, the ammonia solubilizes the Group 2 and they all go out in the rinse.”

AGRONOMY | SEED AUGERS

Poly cup flighting gives tender seeds more TLC Rubber belts don’t measure up | Cup shaped soft plastic flighting prevents breakage, improves germination

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

The ability to auger seed at the same rate as a rubber belt conveyor but with 4.4 percent less seed damage might catch farmers’ attention.

Researchers at Ohio State University recently moved soybean seed through a six-inch auger with poly cupped flighting, and ended up with a germination rate of 86 percent.

A rubber paddled belt conveyor, which was previously thought to be the best way to move delicate seeds, did not fare as well. Soybeans from the same seed lot had only 81.6 percent germination when moved through a six-inch tube with a rubber paddled belt.

Soybean seeds had an 80.8 percent germination rate when moved through either a conventional sixinch brush auger or a six-inch steel auger.

Seeds in the control group that were handled carefully by bucket to avoid damage had a germination rate of 87.5 percent, which was only 1.5 per-

cent better than seeds moved by the poly cupped auger.

A five percent increase in germination is significant to the farm economy, considering that 80 million soybean acres are seeded in North America annually.

OSU researcher Randall Reeder, who was trying to find the best way to lift soybean seed with the least amount of damage, said he was surprised by the results.

Conventional wisdom for the past 20 years has been that the rubber conveyor is the gentlest means possible for moving seeds.

“Our most surprising conclusion was that the rubber belt did not come out as the winner. That was a real shock,” said Reeder.

The other big surprise was that the poly cupped auger seeds germinated nearly as well as the control group, which were moved without machinery.

Reeder has no experience with canola, but he was willing to extrapolate from his soybean project.

“The more prone any seed is to damage, the more important it is to have the gentlest conveyance possible. Sensitive seeds simply need better treatment.”

Canola growers who typically see a germination rate of 50 to 60 percent are taking note of the poly cupped technology and wondering if it might work for their tiny round seeds.

However, research hasn’t been

handling of canola seeds will result in less flaking, but nobody knows for sure without validated field trials, said Todd Botterill, western Canadian distributor of Travis seed carts, one of the few companies bringing poly cup technology to Western Canada.

Reeder said it’s difficult to distinguish the shape factor from the soft plastic factor in the unique poly cupped flighting. Either may have a positive effect on small canola seeds.

However, he said the one thing he’s sure of is that the combination of the two factors reduces seed damage.

“This flighting has a distinct cup shape around the tip of the flighting,” he said. “It’s designed to reduce damage caused by seeds being trapped and crushed between the flighting edge and wall of the tube.”

One theory is that the cupped edge directs stray seeds back into the main herd rather than allowing them to be stuck against the inside of the tube.

r.p.m. Seeds run through the same auger at 370 r.p.m. had a germination rate of 85.5 percent, representing a full seven percent benefit as a result of the slower auger r.p.m.

The team determined that slower was better because more grain in the auger served as a buffer and reduced the number of seeds that contacted the edges of the flighting.

As well, seed exit speed was reduced at the nose when r.p.m. was reduced.

Reeder said seed damage can be dramatically reduced by installing padding at the nose on all types of augers and conveyors.

“The research team is convinced that the conveyance mechanism isn’t the only factor at play in moving seed,” he said.

“What happens when seed hits the top end of the auger is also important. Regardless of what auger or conveyor type you use, ensure that padding is installed at the nose where the seed changes direction. In

“I think the softness of the poly might be more important than the cup shape, but that’s so hard to determine,” he said.

“But we know that steel flighting is thinner and has more of a harsh edge compared to the poly, which has a thicker gentler edge.”

Reeder said OSU embarked on the study because the small seeding window and expanding farm size have forced growers to become more efficient at seeding time.

As a result, many producers use a dedicated gravity wagon as temporary seed storage and then transfer seed from the wagon directly into the product tank on their planter or drill.

Reeder said the process of lifting seeds from the gravity box and transferring them to the tank is where a lot of seed damage occurs.

Research projects conducted in the 1990s support Reeder’s statement.

They compared conventional steel augers of the time to the new rubber

belt systems and found that rubber belts on seed carts improved germination rates.

The OSU experiment that compared the poly cupped flighting to the steel auger, brush auger and rubber belt conveyor used seed lifting machines that were 16 feet long and set at a 35 degree angle.

All machines were adjusted to move 10 bushels per minute. This volume is at the low end of the range used on the farm, but it’s also the rate that causes the least amount of seed damage, so it gives better comparison results.

Speeds were varied with each type of machine, but the volume remained 10 bu. per minute.

The germination tests found that lower r.p.m. with a tube carrying more grain proved to cause less seed damage than higher r.p.m. with less grain in the tube.

The most extreme case was with the brush type auger. The germination rate was 78.5 percent running at 800

any kind of operation, seed damage is always greatest at the point where it changes direction.”

A plastic deflector isn’t the same as padding because many plastic products have a surface hardness rating comparable to metal.

Reeder said seed damage is greater if the auger shows wear or wobbles within the tube.

Worn out motor mounts, bearings, shafts or any other component that causes excess bounce or shaking should be repaired before running seed through the machine. What works for commercial grain criteria isn’t necessarily good enough for seed.

“The important thing we can take away from this is that the combination of the poly material and the cup shape flighting create a huge benefit to the producer.”

Poly cup results prove ‘dollar impact’ of better germination

Canola’s tendency to lose its protective coating doesn’t make it an easy seed to work with.

The tiny seeds becomes susceptible to a myriad of soil borne diseases and insects when the coating flakes off, often driving the germination rate down into the 50 percent bracket.

Losing half their seeds to flaking is a major financial headache for farmers when seed costs $10 a pound. As well, that flaky coating can plug metering discs when farmers use a planter.

focus on ways to handle the seed more gently.

Spurred on by research at Ohio State University, some manufacturers now offer poly cupped flighting in their augers.

“We sell many different kinds of seed carts and we have poly cup augers on all of them as standard equipment,” said Glen Parrett of HitchDoc in Jackson, Minnesota.

HitchDoc began selling its Travis seed carts in Western Canada this winter. It stopped selling conventional auger and rubber belts five years ago.

“We don’t even sell conveyor systems anymore,” he said. “Would we sell a rubber conveyor to a farmer just to fill a perceived need? No. We don’t do business that way. The poly cups are definitely a superior product.”

Parrett said the cupped flighting is a solid poly material rather than steel with a synthetic outer layer. However, while the material’s softness factor helps cushion delicate products such as canola seed, he thinks the shape of the cup is more important.

“I think it’s mainly the shape. You gently hold the seed in that cup and carry it up the auger instead of forcing it with hard steel. The seed sort of rests in the cup,” he said.

“We lean pretty heavily on (OSU researcher Randall) Reeder’s tests at Ohio State. Farmers see the data and they put two and two together. They pretty quickly realize the dollar impact of having more of their seed germinate.”

Iowa company Lundell Plastics developed plastic cupped flighting when it began building poly cupped flighting to move livestock manure. It still makes manure augers, but flighting for lifting seeds has become its main market.

“We sell flighting to about 20 different OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) and they use it in various applications for seed moving equipment,” said Matt Roeder, product engineer at Lundel.

However, Roeder said poly cupped flighting hasn’t found its way into western Canada until recently. His closest OEM customers are Market Farm Equipment in Ontario and HitchDoc in Minnesota.

He said Lundell builds the flighting in only a handful of different sizes. It’s up to his customers to insert it in their tube of choice, thus determining the clearance between the flighting’s outside diameter and the tube’s inside diameter.

“If you want tight clearances for canola or other small seeds, the most popular flighting is five inches in diameter. For soybeans, that goes into a six-inch tube, leaving about 3/8 inch clearance,” he said. “For small seeds, it’s a matter of using a slightly smaller ID tube or else buy our flighting that’s 5 5/8 inches in diameter and put it in a six inch ID tube.”

Roeder said Lundell Plastics sells a lot of poly cupped flighting to farmers who retro-fit existing augers.

In Western Canada, poly cupped auger flighting is now available as standard equipment on Amity Sunflower sold by Agco and Travis seed carts distributed by Todd Botterill.

BEEF PROCESSING | EU EXPORT TARGET

Harmony Beef owner eager to get plant door open $18 million in renovations | Alberta cattle producers hope the former Rancher’s Beef facility will be open this summer

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

LETHBRIDGE — Rich Vesta was impressed with the overall design and concept of the Rancher’s Beef plant when he visited it for the first time.

The plant in Balzac, Alta., had been closed since 2005, but peering through the dust and cobwebs, he could see the potential of what had been a dream of western ranchers who invested in a state of the art beef processing plant at the height of the BSE crisis.

“We want to vindicate why this plant was built. It is a world class facility,” he told the Alberta Cattle Feeders Association annual meeting in Lethbridge Jan. 22.

“Another plant like this will never be built.”

He said the cost to build a facility of this type is out of reach in today’s dollars.

As well, Vesta has a different vision for the facility as more plants close in the United States because of a lack of cattle and profits.

He sealed the deal to buy it last November and with $18 million in renovations, it is expected to be open this summer.

Vesta has renamed it Harmony Beef.

Located east of Balzac and northeast of Calgary, it is the largest European Union certified plant in Canada and can handle 800 head per shift.

“There is no other plant like it in North America on a food safety or technological basis,” he said.

Vesta is also realistic. He has been in the meat business since he started working for a butcher as a 14-yearold Illinois farm boy.

He worked his way to the top and gained a reputation as a fixer who could turn struggling plants into profitable businesses.

He worked with all the big ones over the years, such as Land O’ Lakes, Swift’s, Montfort, Packerland and JBS USA. He bought Packerland with financing from John Hancock Insurance and turned it around.

“We killed Holsteins and cows, but we did it better than anyone else,” he said.

JBS owner Wesley Batista then offered Vesta a two year contract to turn the Brazilian company’s U.S. acquisitions into viable businesses.

One of his approaches when overseeing a troubled plant was to reduce waste.

For example, the JBS plant in Greely, Colorado, was killing as many as 6,000 head per day. He cut the line speeds back to 4,200 so that workers had more time to do the job properly.

There was less waste, and the beef yield improved.

He looked at the Balzac plant when he retired from JBS and finally bought

it from the Price family of Acme, Alta., which owns Sunterra Meats and a chain of high end grocery stores in Calgary and Edmonton.

Vesta said it took two years to get the deal done.

“We’re very determined,” he said.

Western Canadian producers are placing considerable hope at his feet after packers and feedlots have bled red ink in recent years. A new plant with different marketing plans that might include Europe may renew producer confidence.

during the BSE situation, this one was among a couple that actually processed some beef. However, it eventually succumbed to a lack of

cash and struggles with regulations and food safety.

This time round, the Alberta Cattle Feeders’ Association has passed a resolution to work with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency to ensure the proper food safety procedures are in place so the plant is able to open in June.

“We can’t force anybody to do anything, but please, somebody, communicate back to the Alberta cattle feeders that Harmony Beef will open without a hitch,” said Rick Paskal, who feeds cattle at Picture Butte.

PORK SEMINAR | INFO SHARING

Vets told to step up to improve info network

BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

BANFF, Alta. — A disease surveillance system is generating useful information for the Canadian hog industry but demands greater participation from veterinarians, says Chris Byra, the network’s manager.

The Canadian Swine Health Intelligence Network has established a system that allows veterinarians who visit hog farms and work with producers to enter information into a database.

The system records the health issue, diagnosis, whether tests were sent to a laboratory and the results.

Information is collected and used to produce reports that are distributed to practitioners. Resulting data shows disease trends, emerging threats and the efficiency of vaccinations.

“Our goal is that 100 percent of the farmers that produce pigs have a veterinarian who knows what is happening in the country,” Byra told the Banff Pork Seminar.

CSHIN was established in 2012 after the Canadian Swine Health Board identified surveillance gaps in the Canadian hog industry.

Byra said every practitioner working with swine in Canada has now been notified of the data entry system.

“Right now all the focus is on PED, but every few years there seems to be a new one,” said Byra. “We’re really developing a system to go forward and always be on the lookout.”

Fifteen veterinary practices are participating in the program, which accounts for 32 veterinarians, or half of the practitioners working with hogs. Byra said it represents 40 percent of production.

The system receives 75 to 80 submissions a week from British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec and Prince Edward Island.

“We do have to increase our participation,” said Byra.

Information that has been collected shows a recent increase in porcine circovirus in Western Canada, where participation by veterinarians is greater, he said.

“This (increase) is in spite of vaccination, and we know the vaccines work,” he said.

Id e nt i f y i n g t h e p ro b l e m ha s allowed officials to ask questions and identify problems with vaccine application.

“We’re finding that people cut down on doses,” he said.

The development of systems that would allow data entry over phones or tablets or through voice recordings may help encourage use.

Practitioners already receive a nominal sum of money for each entry.

Porcine epidemic diarrhea causes dehydration and can lead to death. The virus poses the greatest risk to piglets. |

BANFF PORK SEMINAR | PORCINE EPIDEMIC DIARRHEA

Quick response key to PED control Same day diagnosis | Swift lab analysis in Canada’s first case put control efforts into action

BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

BANFF — Veterinarian Doug MacDougald had been optimistic about Canadian producers’ ability to manage porcine epidemic diarrhea before its discovery on a southwestern Ontario hog farm was announced last week.

And while he remained positive late last week as news spread of the countr y’s first case of PED, he warned that the Canadian industry is already late in responding to a virus that is wreaking havoc on the American industry.

In that countr y, the virus has affected millions of pigs and cost the industry hundreds of millions of dollars since it first appeared in May 2013.

Cases of the virus, which thrives in cold weather, began to escalate in mid-fall in the United States. Its reach is expected to spread over the winter.

MacDougald said the Canadian industry requires an aggressive national surveillance effort, and fast.

“If we allow it to escape in Canada with the information and the unique opportunity we’ve had to not have it until we can learn some stuff, if we let it escape, shame on us,” said MacDougald of South West Ontario Veterinary Services.

Some estimates say as much as 30 to 40 percent of the U.S. sow herd has been infected.

“We learned too late on this issue,” Dallas Hockman of the United States’ National Pork Producers Council told the Banff Pork Seminar last week.

“We’re playing catch up.”

A working group was established in Ontario in November with the assistance of Ontario Pork and the Ontario Swine Health Advisory Board.

The effort allowed officials to be ready when a suspicious case materialized.

MARTIN MISENER VETERINARIAN

“Who’s going to take the lead? It was the end of September, into October, and the answer was nobody and that’s an unacceptable answer,” said Martin Misener, also of South West Ontario Veterinary Services.

“So we just sort of took off and started.”

Confirmation of the first case of PED in Canada happened quickly.

The producer first observed scouring in piglets Jan. 21. They were treated but looked worse the next day, which is when the case became suspicious.

Officials were able to take a sample, which was returned the same day, leading to the diagnosis that night and public confirmation Jan. 23.

MacDougald said at least four other “suspicious” cases had previously been investigated in the province, with negative results. Those cases also saw lab results returned swiftly.

Other jurisdictions need to be able to replicate that response and quick turnaround, he added.

Chris Byra of the Canadian Swine Health Intelligence Network, which operates a network in which veterinarians voluntarily submit data about diagnoses and farm visits, told the seminar early detection isn’t easy.

“We were under the impression it was going to be pretty easy to do.

Piglets start dying, we get massive diarrhea and that’s what we’re monitoring right now,” he said.

“But in fact, in these grow finisher barns its less obvious.”

MacDougald encouraged producers to contact a veterinarian if there are changes in pigs’ diarrhea. Detection of PED is not easy or obvious with laboratory testing.

“It does not have to be highly explosive watery diarrhea. This is a concern for Canada in early detection.”

PED-related efforts and response plans have been developed in other provinces, including Alberta, where the virus has been listed as reportable and some supports made available to producers.

MacDougald said other jurisdictions must follow the lead of the Ontario Pork Board.

Funds have to be made available to allow qualified professionals to plug gaps in insecurity.

“We absolutely need to do this right now in the other regions of Canada, and continue to drill down in every region, including Ontario,” he said.

Trucks crossing the Canadian border have been identified as a major risk of being cross-contaminated with the virus.

Evidence collected in Ontario shows that a minority of trucks arriving in Canada are carrying some amount of PED.

DOUG MACDOUGALD VETERINARIAN

Officials also want to ensure that pig trailers returning from the U.S. are washed and disinfected to the OSHAB’s standards, which includes a separate protocol for cold weather disinfection.

MacDougald said producers should assess their own biosecurity as well as that of service providers and transport companies with which they work.

However, thousands of hog and cattle trucks cross the border every year. Logistical challenges include wash bay capacity and the use of recycled water.

Misener said Ontario has only 33 percent of the wash capacity required for a major disease control initiative.

Corn and dried distillers grain are another potential source of contamination. Misener said some producers in the U.S. are using pellets as a precaution. Birds are another source, he added.

“Hammer the things you can control,” he said. “This virus is going to get tracked into your barn from a way that wasn’t thought of.”

Misener said there is no hope of containing or eliminating the virus in the U.S., where producers will have to adapt to its presence.

Some vaccines are marketed for PED, and others will come, but he said they are unlikely to be effective.

CALVING | EARLY IS BETTER

Calving distribution provides insight into herd profitability

JOHN CAMPBELL, DVM, DVSC

M

ost cow-calf producers have a calving book in their pockets at calving time.

A few may have made the technological leap to a smartphone application or a computer-based recording system, but the tried and true pocket calving book is still common.

This record keeping system may not be high tech, but it can tell you more than which calf belongs to which cow.

One of the simplest ways to track the reproductive success of a cowcalf herd is to graph a calving distribution. This is simply a graphical representation of how many calves are born in each 21 day period of the calving season.

Most computer based cow-calf record systems can generate a calving distribution, but you can also create a simple calving distribution by recording calf births on a calendar or in your calving book.

Calving distribution is important because it is the only easily accessible reproductive event in a cow-calf herd.

CALVING DISTRIBUTION

In most herds, we don’t know the exact breeding dates for each cow unless we are using artificial insemination. The only reproductive event that is easy to track is the cow’s calving date.

However, we know that the other reproductive events, such as when a cow comes into heat and when it is bred, are highly related to the date on which it calves.

To create a calving distribution, count the cows that have calved during the first 21 days of the calving season.

Divide this number by the total number of cows that calve in the calving season and multiply by 100 to get the percentage of cows calving in the first 21 days.

Repeat this process for each of the next two 21 day periods to calculate the percentage of cows that are calving in each 21 day period of the calving season.

The goal is to have at least 65 percent of the herd calving in the first 21 day period of the season. These cows were probably cycling at the start of the breeding season and were bred in the first 21 days of the previous breeding season.

They are also more likely to be cycling at the start of the next breeding season and will be more likely to become pregnant in the following year, provided that they are in good body condition and on a good plane of nutrition.

21-42 43-63 OPEN

Calving periods (days) Tracking the median calving date is another way to measure the success of the calving distribution. The goal is to have half of the cow herd calve by day 18 of the calving season.

Reproduction is one of the most important economic indicators of success in a cow-calf operation. A live calf on the ground in the spring is the first step toward having a product to sell at the end of the year.

There are lots of reasons for trying to achieve the goal of 65 percent of the cow herd calving in the first 21 days of the calving period.

Cows that calve in the first 21 days will wean heavier calves at the end of the year.

Each extra 21 day period before weaning can result in at least an extra 50 pounds of weaning weight for the calves born in this time period.

Heifer calves born in the first 21

Calves born in the first 21 days of the calving period are heavier when weaned at the end of the year. | FILE PHOTO days that are retained as replacement heifers are heavier and more likely to be cycling as a yearling heifer.

Having a large proportion of calves born in the first 21 day period also creates a more even and uniform calf crop, which simplifies management procedures and results in a marketing advantage.

Lots of producers with mediocre calving distributions are still getting by with reasonable pregnancy rates, but they could significantly improve their economic returns by focusing on improving their calving distribution.

Less than ideal calving distributions are often a reflection of poor reproductive management or poor nutritional management, especially over the winter feeding period and into the early breeding season.

An ideal calving distribution will result in fewer open cows and heavier calves at weaning time. It’s easy to calculate and interpret.

Bruce Vincent, Libby, Montana “With Vision, There Is Hope” Ag Advocacy as a business line item

LETHBRIGE — The World Trade Organization has set aside Feb. 18-19 for public hearings on U.S. countryof-origin labelling.

The hearing will be in Geneva, Switzerland, and could take up to two years to complete.

The WTO said public viewing is available via closed circuit television.

For more information, visit www. wto.org/library/rss/latest_news_e. xml.

Canada and Mexico requested the appeal after the U.S. Department of Agriculture amended the labelling law last May. The legislation requires complete information on where an animal was born, raised and slaughtered, and the amended rule tightened up requirements even further than the previous version of the law.

The appellants argue that the law discriminates against live cattle and hogs and has cost their industries billions of dollars.

The Canadian Pork Council completed a study last year and determined the total damage to its business up to October 2012 totalled $1.9 billion with the greatest damage being against slaughter hogs.

COOL resulted in 10.4 million fewer slaughter hogs exported, representing a value of $1.5 billion. Other losses were incurred when feeder pigs were not exported to the United

States for fattening, said the study.

Canada and Mexico first challenged the law in 2009 and won the first round in 2012.

When the amendment was released May 23, Canada published a list of about 30 products for tariff retaliation if the law was not changed.

Canadian politicians have lobbied hard in Washington seeking a change to the law through means outside the courts. They have focused on how the law could ultimately hurt Americans.

“Telling the Americans that COOL hurts Canada does no good. The threat of retaliation is getting attention,” said Alberta agriculture minister Verlyn Olson.

If legislators realize the listed items could have a negative impact on their state, they are more likely to take notice, Olson told the Alberta Cattle Feeders Association’s annual meeting in Lethbridge Jan. 22.

“We have a very strong ally in the packing industry. It is an issue of jobs and economic health in many communities in the states,” he said.

The latest information is that changes might be made within the U.S. farm bill, but Olson was skeptical.

“We have heard that before.”

The farm bill is complex and there are about 30 contentious issues, including management of the multibillion-dollar food stamp program.

“Our issue is probably number 30,” he said.

WEATHER | STRANGE EVENTS

Polar vortex gives weather buffs plenty of impressive lingo COWBOY LOGIC

RYAN TAYLOR

Arctic temperatures belong in the Arctic not whirling over North Dakota

I

thought an Alberta clipper was the worst thing old man winter could throw at us, but then he introduced me to the polar vortex.

Just like the television weather reporters, I love saying “polar vortex.”

I’d say it was a cool pair of words, but we now know they’re more than cool, they’re downright cold.

If I had some real musical ability, I’d start a band and we’d call ourselves the Polar Vortex.

I’m not sure what kind of music we’d play, but I know it would be indoors and we’d make sure the last one in shut the dang door. If we were just a garage band, I’d make sure it was a heated garage.

I hate to jump allegiances, but before polar vortex came into my vocabulary, I was pretty fond of the term Alberta clipper. It made for a good visual of a stately clipper ship flying her Canadian colors, her sails full of frigid air as she swooped in over our unprotected border and dumped cold air and high winds on us Americans, unable to do anything but go inside and shut the door.

One of my northern neighbours once told me through the slit in his ski mask and the tunnel-tied hood of his fur-lined parka: “Up here, we call that

a Manitoba chinook.” I like that term, too. It’s a perfect example of wry Canadian humour.

In all three cases, it makes for a lot of news and misery wherever these weather systems travel and land.

However, it maybe makes a little less news in North Dakota when the polar vortex drops the temperature to 35 below zero Fahrenheit than, say, Atlanta when the temperature hit eight degrees above zero.

It’s serious business in those places, no doubt, when they’re not used to it, but setting up cold weather shelters in Florida when the temperatures dip below freezing amuses us northerners a little.

When we hit 30 degrees Fahrenheit in the winter, we’re out soaking it up in our shirt sleeves as we tuck our earlappers back inside our caps.

Even in North Dakota, when we tire of the cold temperatures, it’s good to remind ourselves that there’s an

entire nation north of us. Stay strong, Canada, as you’re humoured by your neighbour’s winter struggles to the south.

We’d probably all appreciate it if Mother Nature would keep her vortices (that’s the plural of vortex, I just looked it up) where they’re supposed to be.

The polar vortex is also called the polar cyclone or, get this, an even catchier term than polar vortex, a circumpolar whirl. The whirl is supposed to be twirling around above the pole, not getting all lopsided and sliding down to Georgia.

So, when the vortex is strong, it spins nice and tight and stays up on the pole. When it weakens, it gets all loosey goosey, gets away from the pole and we get cold in New York and Tennessee and a little extra cold on the Taylor Ranch.

Scientists say the diminishing ice in the Arctic is having an effect on the

vortex and knocking things out of whack.

When I was in Norway, people said they know there’s less ice and a warming Arctic because shipping channels are opening up in places that used to be pure ice.

If you don’t believe them, there’s some light reading in the Journal of Geophysical Research called “A link between reduced Barents-Kara sea ice and cold winter extremes over northern continents.” Not nearly as catchy a set of words as polar vortex or circumpolar whirl, but, hey, that’s science.

At any rate, I’d rather see more ice in the Arctic, less ice in my cow’s stock tank and more cold air swirling above the Arctic and less of it swirling around me while I’m doing chores.

NATIONAL WESTERN STOCK SHOW | ANGUS

First time Sask. Angus exhibitor gets itch to show more after racking up awards

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

A first time foray into the big time netted a Red Angus breeder the premier exhibitor award at the National Western Stock Show in Denver, Colo-

rado, Jan 14.

“I’ve only ever shown two Red Angus. I thought I would give it a whirl,” Mike McDonald said.

He had attended the show in past years as an observer and decided to enter six animals.

All placed first, second or third in their respective classes. Those placings earned points that resulted in the exhibitor award.

He participated in an online auction, where his four heifer show calves and a yearling bull sold to buy-

ers in Tennessee, Texas, Nebraska and Kansas.

Most were sold to people who plan to use them as show cattle.

He participated in the Denver show partly to promote his spring bull sale and also to get more involved in the

show side of the business.

“Now that I’ve got the itch to show more, I’ll see where it goes,” he said.

McDonald and his wife, Shannon, run Windy Hill Livestock, southwest of Moose Jaw, Sask., where they raise purebred Red Angus and grain farm.

Unsung hero.

She is the glue and her job description is endless. She does it all: chief cook, bottle washer, nurse, housekeeper, disciplinarian, groundskeeper, grandmother, babysitter and part-time truck driver. But ask her and she’ll say she just makes sure everyone’s been looked after.

Loonie predicted to fall to 87 cents US | Interest rates critical to farmers with large debt loads

Cdn. exchanges in $Cdn. U.S. exchanges in $U.S.

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

BRANDON — The bottom won’t drop out of the agricultural markets in the next few years if Royal Bank of Canada economists are right.

“Our general view is that crop prices should remain historically high … higher than what were prevailing, say, in the 1990s or in the early part of the (2000s),” said RBC assistant chief economist Paul Ferley in a presentation at Manitoba Ag Days Jan. 21.

Ferley said RBC thinks continuing economic recovery in the United States will increase demand there and help Europe recover, while a Chinese economic growth rate of about seven p e rc e n t w i l l k e e p c o m m o d i t y demand strong, if not growing as quickly as in the mid-late 2000s.

However, Canadian exporters outside of agriculture will continue to show the weakness they demonstrated last year.

If those conditions apply, then a number of beneficial factors will help Canadian farmers: • The Canadian dollar should drop to about 87 cents US by the end of 2015.

• Interest rates won’t greatly increase, although 10 year bond rates will probably increase by 140 basis points by the end of 2015, or 1.4 percentage points on an interest rate.

Short-term rates should increase by .25 percent on an interest rate.

• Commodity prices will hold onto the higher plateau levels reached in the 2000s.

Ferley said interest rates could rise sooner if U.S. growth and/or Chinese growth are stronger than expected.

As well, increased Canadian exports could lead to a higher loonie.

However, the dollar could fall lower than 87 cents if China and the U.S. slip, and commodity prices, including crop and livestock prices, would suffer.

Ferley said there are many promising signs that the U.S. economic recovery is picking up momentum, while Chinese growth does not appear to be faltering.

Those two dynamics underpin the entire global economy, so the general outlook is moderately good.

China’s growth rate probably won’t be high enough to drive commodity prices back to bull market highs, and other emerging markets probably won’t do it either because they are weaker now than a few years ago, Ferley said.

As well, U.S. economic growth is modest and will still likely cause unemployment levels to stay historically high, restraining both demand and inflation to low if positive values.

“We’re not talking about further gains from where we are now, but generally maintaining those higher levels,” said Ferley about overall commodity prices.

Interest rates are key to farmers who carry big debt loads, and Ferley said farmers should expect to see a gradual rising of rates even before central banks begin raising their key rates in 2015.

Short-term commercial debt will probably increase by .25 percent over current rates, while 10 year debt will increase by 1.4 percent on an average interest rate.

Ferley said a lower Canadian dollar will help all exporters, and the outlook for the currency is much lower than it was just a few months ago.

Until six months ago, RBC expected that the loonie would range 92 cents to $1 US over the next two years, but weak exports in the second half of 2013 prompted economists to suspect that the relatively high Canadian dollar was dragging more significantly on exporters than previously thought.

He said the loonie needs to drop a few cents to 87 cents US to come back into balance, in which the dollar is at a level that allows for strong exports and recognizes that performance.

The loonie is historically strong compared to the early 2000s and late 1990s but softer than for most times in the last decade.

LOONIE SWOONS Prospects that the Bank of Canada will stimulate the economy by keeping interest rates lower than American rates have weakened the loonie. Royal Bank economists think the loonie will stay weak for two years, falling to about 87 cents U.S. by the end of 2015.

CROP SHOW | GLOBAL ECONOMIC OUTLOOK

Farm management in the new reality MANAGING THE FARM

ERIC OLSON

The dip in crop prices may force operational changes

T

he last few years have been extremely positive for the grain sector, but now there’s a new reality.

Grain prices have dropped significantly since the summer, and there is no indication that they will rally soon. Projected crop returns for this year are much lower than desired, with some crops projected to have negative returns for the first time in many years.

At the same time, land prices and rent have rapidly increased to historical highs, and the high grain prices of the past led many producers to make significant investments in their operations. Some borrowed substantial amounts to make these investments.

Having made these long-term investments based on short-term prices, these producers are now faced with having to pay back loans with significantly less cash flowing into the business.

In light of these changes, grain producers need to start playing defence.

If farmers want to weather this period, they need to start planning now how they’re going to do that.

If you are in this situation, the first thing to do is a good old-fashioned reality check. Take a close look at what’s happening inside and outside of your operation so that you know

85

THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | JANUARY 30, 2014

where you stand. This may be uncomfortable, but discomfort is a clear sign that it is something that must be done immediately.

Look at your external situation.

Farmers sell into commodity markets, and sometimes there are periods when they are forced to sell for a loss. That is simply how commodity markets work.

Take the time now to look at the commodities you produce and the factors influencing their markets. Is there relief in sight or do you need to work with the current price levels for the next few years?

Next, look at your internal situation. Do an annual projection, including all fixed expenses, to determine your cost of production and cash requirement to run the farm this year.

If it is showing negative returns and negative cash flow, you need to think about the implications and understand the magnitude of the situation.

Do you have the equity and cash resources to handle the losses? If not, it’s time to start looking at what you can change in your operation to keep going.

Once you have a clear picture of the reality of your situation, including a strong understanding of the fundamentals of your markets, you can start planning how you are going to manage.

As every producer knows, markets dip and eventually come up again. By actively managing the farm and making the right decisions for the new reality, producers can mitigate the impacts of today’s lower grain prices and position themselves for success when prices rise again.

That’s why all of our equipment, like our new Ecolo-Tiger® 875 Disk Ripper, is agronomically designed to help you get the most out of every seed and every acre it grows on. The Ecolo-Tiger 875 is engineered to size tough harvest residues, fracture root-limiting compaction and leave fields level.
