Canola growth hinges on transportation upgrades Grain backlog underscores need for planning, says canola council president

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

SAN AN TONIO, Texas — The canola industry’s 26 million tonne production goal depends on a transportation system that can only easily move half that amount.

However, Canola Council of Canada leaders hope to wake up the railways about what’s going to come at them in just a few years time.

It wouldn’t make sense to back away from expansion goals just because the railways can’t clear this year’s 18 million tonne crop, canola council president Patti Miller said during the organization’s annual meeting held in San Antonio Feb. 24-26.

“Transportation is a serious and complicated problem, and one that’s made some question why we’re aiming for more growth when the system is struggling to handle our production today,” she said.

“But we believe these difficulties

TERRY YOUZWA CANOLA COUNCIL OF CANADA

only underline the need for sound, forward-looking planning. The market was, and it is, still there.”

Canola council officials said during the conference that the present transportation problems and the council’s aggressive production goals will likely prompt it to become more involved in railway issues, an area that the council has not generally addressed in the past.

Throughout the conference, farmers and others in the industry expressed frustration that every part of the supply

chain appears to be achieving new productivity records except for the railways.

For many farmers, lack of rail service has brought storage problems, significant basis costs and the inability to move crop, almost like a penalty for being successful.

Canola council chair Terry Youzwa said the new production goals are based on future market demand and agronomic potential. The council is confident both will reach the levels it is projecting, he added, but obstacles lie between the field and the buyer.

“Canola growers like me, we realize that the exporters and the crushers can sell the stuff, and we know we can grow the stuff, but we have some challenges in between that we need to address,” said Youzwa. “It isn’t enough to simply grow our supply and demand. We need to make sure we’re growing in the right direction.”

The number of porcine epidemic diarrhea cases found on Canadian hog operations rose to 27 Feb. 28 with the confirmation of another case in Ontario.

Manitoba, Prince Edward Island and Quebec have each confirmed one case, and each of those is considered to be contained. The bulk of cases are in Ontario.

Industry veterinarians monitoring the deadly virus are encouraged by the limited spread.

Strict biosecurity works, Dr. Chris Byra of the Canadian Swine Intelligence Network said in a Feb. 28 conference call.

“Now we’re at the stage where we’re going to say, ‘OK, how do we make these farms go negative.’ ” Transmission through a porcine plasma feed ingredient continues to be the prevailing view on how PED entered Canada. It is the same strain prevalent in the United States, where it has killed millions of piglets and is now considered endemic.

Dr. Sue Burlatschenko of Goshen Ridge Veterinary Services in Ontario said the initial cases of PED occurred on farms with excellent biosecurity, so she was puzzled about transmission.

Investigation revealed feed as the common link between most of the infected barns, though not all operations that received the now-recalled feed have contracted PED. “What’s interesting to me in all of this is certainly the feed pellets went out to a large number of herds in Ontario.

“I think 130 some herds received the pellets, so not everybody that received pellets and were feeding them was breaking with PED,” Burlatschenko said.

All piglets died within the first two weeks on the 500 sow farrow to finish operation that had the first case, said Burlatschenko.

PED spreading slowly The same has occurred on other farms infected with the virus.

Dr. Dan Hurnik of the Atlantic Veterinary College said biosecurity was also high in the single Prince Edward Island case. The strain was the same as that found in Ontario, and the link with feed is assumed.

He said the virus killed piglets in the barn, and all sows got sick and recovered after two weeks. Feeder animals experienced diarrhea and also recovered.

No pigs had been shipped from the infected barn as of Feb. 28, but that was to occur soon in a dedicated shipment.

“The goal will be to try and eliminate the virus,” said Hurnik.

There are no plans to depopulate the herd, but natural exposure to the virus will be followed by rigorous sanitation. He said “sentinel pigs,” which have never been exposed to PED, may then be brought in to see if the virus has been eradicated.

PED | NEW STRAIN

PED found on trucker’s boots in Saskatchewan

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Traces of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus found in Saskatchewan last week should eliminate any temptation toward complacency about the deadly hog virus.

No hog barns in the province have the virus, but a random test done at a truck wash turned up a positive sample of PED on the boots of a transport truck driver who had taken Canadian slaughter hogs to Iowa.

Dr. Chris Byra of the Canadian Swine Intelligence Network shared the news Feb. 28 during a conference call organized by Alberta Pork.

He said samples taken from the truck were negative, but the virus was found in a tote where the truck driver kept his boots.

Tests confirmed it was one of the new strains of coronavirus, similar to the PED strains now causing havoc in the U.S. hog industry that American researchers have discovered in the last several months.

“This is the first time that we now have a different sub-type that showed up here,” said Byra.

“It’s a strain that is in Iowa but it shows you that (PED) is coming in new and the biggest risk I think for Western Canada isn’t feed at this point. … The biggest risk still is going to be transport vehicles coming back home.”

Traffic between hog farms and trucks travelling to and from the United States, where PED is now endemic, have always been considered the most likely vector for spread of the virus.

It is carried in the feces of infected pigs and can travel on materials such as clothing, plastics, equipment and footwear.

However, 18 of 23 cases in Ontario hog barns, as of Feb. 28, and a single

case in Prince Edward Island have been linked to feed pellets distributed by Ontario feed manufacturer Grand Valley Fortifiers.

The feed was voluntarily recalled, and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency continues testing the feed and the dried porcine plasma ingredient thought to be the source of infection.

Grand Valley obtained the plasma from a U.S. supplier. Byra said the CFIA is working with the U.S. Department of Agriculture to trace the ingredient.

The CFIA has also tested other feed products containing porcine plasma and none have been positive for PED, Byra added. A positive test for PED does not mean the virus is live.

Dr. Julia Keenliside, a veterinary epidemiologist with Alberta Agriculture, said the tests reveal that PED is either present or was present at some point, even if it is dead.

She said the PED virus can survive for about seven days in dry feed and on dry surfaces, and can live up to 21 days in water. It can also survive freezing.

Veterinarians continue to urge thorough cleaning of transport trucks, using both detergent and disinfectant. Propylene glycol must be added in freezing temperatures to effectively clean without freezing.

Detailed instructions on truck washing, detergents, disinfectants and barn biosecurity are available on Alberta Pork’s website at www.albertapork.com.

PED affects only pigs and poses no threat to other animals or humans. Its danger lies in limiting production on hog operations because it is fatal to piglets. PED attacks the small intestine and causes diarrhea and vomiting.

Older pigs can develop immunity once exposed. There is no effective vaccine.

TRANSPORTATION | OATS

Oat shortage less dire than reported: analyst U.S. millers have two-month supply on hand | Rail transportation backlog must be addressed before oat stocks run out

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

American millers likely have 60 to 75 days worth of oat supplies, so statements about companies running out of oats in three weeks is erroneous, says an industry analyst.

Saskatchewan premier Brad Wall said last week that General Mills won’t be able to produce Cheerios in 15 to 20 days because the company can’t obtain sufficient oat supplies from Western Canada.

Randy Strychar, an oat industry analyst and grain trader in Vancouver, was surprised by Wall’s comment.

“This statement, that General Mills is going to run out in 15 days, I don’t know how they (Saskatchewan government) got the data,” Strychar said.

“Each individual company (miller) will vary, depending on what their supply situation is…. We don’t know exactly where they are. We can only estimate.”

In commentary sent to oat industry

players March 2, Strychar said U.S. mills grind 127,000 tonnes (8.75 million bushels) of oats a month.

“Based on our estimates, the millers have access to roughly 16.9 million bu. or 244,000 (tonnes),” he said.

“Based on our very rough estimates, we believe the U.S., without additional shipments from Canada, will deplete available oats supplies in 60 to 75 days.”

Strychar said during a grain industry conference in Winnipeg in late February that U.S. millers could use

up their oat supplies by April.

“If we can’t get rail cars down to them, they’re going to run out of oats,” he said.

“We are very, very close to running these mills out of oats.”

Catherine Jackson, a General Mills spokesperson, said the company is grateful for Wall’s comments, but the 15 to 20 day estimate isn’t accurate.

“We have more flexibility than that, but we appreciate the premier calling attention to this issue. Reliable transportation and logistics are important to

the entire industry and are obviously important to Canadian farmers.”

U.S. oat millers have struggled to acquire sufficient oat supplies from Western Canada for several months because of the rail service backlog on the Prairies this winter.

Consequently, oat stocks at U.S. mills have dropped significantly and rumours of possible plant shutdowns are circulating within the grain trade.

Weyburn Inland Terminal shareholders agree to sell to Parrish & Heimbecker

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The sale of the Weyburn Inland Terminal to Winnipeg-based grain company Parrish & Heimbecker Ltd. could be complete before the middle of March.

Officials with WIT announced last

week that shareholders have approved a plan to sell all outstanding shares in the company to P & H for $17.25 per share.

The sale was approved by nearly 80 percent of the shareholders who cast a vote in person or by proxy at a special meeting held Feb. 28 in Weyburn, Sask., according to a news release

issued by WIT last week.

WIT must now submit an application to the Court of Queen’s Bench of Saskatchewan seeking final approval for the proposed sale.

That application was scheduled to be submitted on March 5.

Pending court approval and the satisfaction of other conditions, the

deal could be closed before March 15.

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

At $17.25 per share, the sale of the company is valued at roughly $95 million.

WIT’s assets include a 105,000

tonne concrete grain terminal 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.

CANOLA COUNCIL | LOBBYING

CANOLA COUNCIL | AGRONOMY

Should farmers align with oil companies?

Canola goal requires changes

Lobby efforts must be targeted, advises speaker

SAN ANTONIO, Texas — It’s a lofty goal, but farmers and the rest of the canola industry seem confident that prairie production can increase by 40 percent by 2025.

However, it’s going to take almost flawless execution in improving varieties, production and transportation infrastructure, and perhaps most importantly, persuading every farmer to customize his production to get the most out of every acre, said attendees at the Canola Council of Canada’s convention held in San Antonio Feb. 25-27.

“A lot of farmers are getting there now. It’s to get everybody there now, (that’s the challenge),” Brett Halstead, vice-president of the Canadian Canola Growers Association, said in an interview during the convention.

The canola council’s new target of producing 26 million tonnes of canola per year relies on a similar acreage to that grown by farmers in recent years but a radical increase in average yields from today’s 34 bushels per acre to 52 bu. per acre.

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

SAN ANTONIO, Texas — Farmers need to start protesting to get federal political attention.

They also need to lobby on behalf of the oil companies and lobby Liberal leader Justin Trudeau.

That was the surprising advice given by conservative journalist and thinker Tasha Kheiriddin at the Canola Council of Canada’s annual convention Feb. 26.

“The long-term solution (to the overburdened railway system) is to get the oil moving another way, and that’s pipelines,” said Kheiriddin.

There’s not much point lobbying the federal Conservative party and prime minister Stephen Harper because they already strongly support pipeline construction. However, the Liberal position is undefined right now, and Trudeau could use the issue to get support and compete with the Conservatives for prairie votes.

“If he could knock the Tories out West, oh boy, he would love that,” Kheiriddin said about Trudeau.

“And farmers making the case for pipelines? Can you imagine a better optic? If you had tractors in Ottawa lined up saying, ‘we want pipelines because our grain isn’t moving, our canola isn’t moving. Help us.’ ” Having another political party on side would help to get pipeline construction or expansion approved, she added.

And since the Liberals haven’t yet defined their policies, she said, there’s a window of time in which to sell a pro-pipeline position to the party.

“That for you is an opportunity, because he wants western votes,” said Kheiriddin.

“It would give Mr. Trudeau cover and get you what you want, which is an assurance oil is not competing with you for the precious rail transportation that you need.”

Kheiriddin also said farmers need to pay attention to the federal political parties’ policies as a 2015 election looms because farmers will be affected by how they handle many issues.

“Your business is actually, whether you realize it or not, at the forefront of some of the biggest political debates in this country and globally,” she said.

Those include: • Weather and the climate change debate • Technology and its impact, including genetic modification and pesticides such as neonics • Transportation • Trade

Prairie producers can boost production by 40 percent through customized practices

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

“I think we can get there, for sure,” Manitoba Canola Growers Association president Ed Rempel said in an interview.

However, a host of production issues must be solved before that potential can be realized, he said.

For instance, drainage in many parts of Manitoba is poor, which sometimes leaves farmers unable to farm thousands of acres of land.

Average yields won’t reach the 52 bu. per acre goal if basic problems like that aren’t solved.

The industry’s confidence in reaching this goal appears to come from the raw genetic potential that can be packed into seeds, the potential of improving agronomic practices farmer-by-farmer and the council’s ability to set aggressive targets and meet them.

Canola council president Patti Miller said the key will be getting each farmer to maximize his yields by using the best possible agronomic practices for his unique land base.

“We believe that if we can finetune our agronomic practices and learn how to maximize yields under every type of growing condition, we can achieve a substantial increase

in canola production without expanding canola acres ver y much,” she told the convention.

Farmers have tightened rotations in recent years and increased acreage in pursuit of canola’s profitability. As a result, the new canola production goals involve only a marginal increase in prairie canola acreage to 22 million, and most of that will come from new varieties that allow canola to be grown in areas where it has seldom been seen previously.

It means almost all gains in production will have to come from peracre yield improvements.

“There’s still plenty of opportunity to increase the productivity of every canola acre,” said Miller.

“You will see much more emphasis on improving tech transfer to make research results more useful and relevant to the grower.”

Agronomy can make up about half the yield gains, with harvest loss reduction, better fertility management, pest control and improved plant establishment each offering a few bushels per acre.

The rest will come from more productive varieties, which Dave Dzi-

siak of Dow AgroSciences is confident companies can achieve.

“I think there’s great potential to come up with better hybrids with better parent lines and really mine the diversity around the world, and that will be a big part in how we further drive the average yield up across Western Canada,” Dzisiak said in an interview.

“There’s a lot of genetic diversity across the world that really hasn’t been put to work yet.”

Increasing to 52 bu. per acre will require about eight bu. per acre in genetic improvements, but Dzisiak said that wouldn’t break with canola’s productivity trends.

“It wasn’t that long ago when our average yield was in the mid-20s per acre,” he said.

Miller said the canola industry learned from its goals of producing seven million tonnes per year of canola by 2007 and 15 million by 2015, which were surpassed early, that chasing new records can work.

“Are we reaching the limits of our potential?” said Miller.

“Our industry has a history of setting bold targets and then achieving them ahead of schedule.”

COMMODITY CLASSIC | TRANSPORTATION

Grain movement in the U.S. business as usual Few issues in U.S. | Some congestion noted in localized regions, but no transportation crisis south of the border

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

SAN ANTONIO, Texas — It’s safe to say that the hall would be packed if a panel of senior agriculture industry executives were to discuss grain transportation problems at a Canadian farm meeting.

However, such an event held during the Commodity Classic farm policy convention in San Antonio Feb. 27 was mostly empty, with only a few dozen attendees. Some of the farmers in the room were Canadian, as were three of the four identifiable reporters.

“We are hearing some horror stories,” Sharon Clark, a vice-president with major poultry producer and shipper Perdue Agribusiness, said in response to a story about Canada’s situation.

However, the transportation situation in the United States is much more normal. Serious congestion has been reported in localized regions, such as on the Burlington Northern line near the western Canadian border and in areas suffering extreme cold, but there is no sense of crisis like there is in Western Canada.

However, executives said the U.S.

transportation infrastructure is weakening under the surface, and renewing it needs to become a national priority.

Cargill transportation executive Rick Calhoun said he understood that an exceptionally large crop and cold winter contributed to the Canadian problem, but he also noted the competition that the oil industry is now presenting to all North American agriculture shippers.

“We have these new pieces of demand that jump up that nobody was planning for 10 years ago,” said Calhoun.

He was vexed by the difficulty get-

ting national reinvestment in the U.S. transportation network of railways, highways and waterways, most of which were established decades ago and are decaying.

He also said competitors in world agriculture trade, such as Brazil and China, are beginning to pour money into infrastructure.

“I think we do need a transportation plan for this country, for this continent,” said Calhoun.

It would go beyond maintenance and include new and expanded facilities and systems.

“You’re not going to do it by just fixing what you have,” said Calhoun.

Seed makers unravelling wheat puzzle

NAWG pledges more support for GM wheat

Hybrid seed could be available in 2020

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

BY SEAN PRATT

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

SAN ANTONIO, Texas — Hybrid wheat is moving from elusive dream to commercial reality.

“We’ve got a fair bit of confidence that we’re going to realize this by the end of the decade,” said Darcy Pawlik, North American head for Syngenta’s cereal portfolio.

“By 2020 we’ll have something on the market.”

Researchers have been attempting to develop hybrid wheat for decades, but it has proven far more difficult to create than hybrid corn and other crops.

“Realistically, a lot of people tried it and failed,” said Pawlik in an interview at the 2014 Commodity Classic.

Syngenta decided to identify what didn’t work in those previous attempts and overcome the hurdles one by one.

“We started saying, ‘hey, I think we can do this thing,’ ” he said. “It wasn’t a task that was impossible. It was something we felt we could do.”

Realistically, a lot of people tried it and failed.

DARCY PAWLIK SYNGENTA

The project is at the back end of the proof of concept stage. The crop was field tested at a number of locations throughout North America in 2013, including Manitoba. Pawlik said it is too early to make specific performance claims, but research suggests that a 10 percent yield boost over existing wheat varieties should be easily attainable.

“We really think that’s sort of the base line for what you see for progress,” he said.

That has certainly been the case for the company’s hybrid barley, which is in its fourth year of commercialization in the European Union.

“Going off of what we’ve seen across the pond, it looks quite positive,” said Pawlik.

“Where we see the biggest gains are really under stress conditions.”

The hybrid barley is performing well under drought, when planted on hilly land or grown under other less than optimal conditions.

That makes him think hybrid wheat will be a good fit for Western Canada, which is usually characterized by dry growing conditions.

DuPont Pioneer is another major seed technology company working on hybrid wheat, although it is further behind than Syngenta.

“We’ve been testing it and looking at it for several years now. It’s out there in our trait pipeline,” said Luke Davies, senior marketing manager of DuPont Pioneer’s Heartland Business Unit.

“It’s not on the near-term horizon but definitely delivering benefits in the early stages of research and development.”

U.S. growers gear up for high-oleic soybeans A ‘game changer’ | United Soybean Board says it is confident high-oleic soybeans will soon give Canadian canola a run for its money

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

SAN ANTONIO, Texas — High oleic canola growers are getting one more year of reprieve before facing stiff competition from U.S. soybean growers.

Roll-out of the much anticipated high oleic soybean program has been pushed back another year due to a lack of global approval for the product in key export markets.

At the 2013 Commodity Classic conference, the United Soybean Board (USB) said it expected all global approvals to be in place to pave the way for a major roll-out of the trait in 2014.

But those approvals haven’t come in time to carry through with full commercialization this year.

Jim Call, chair of USB, told growers attending the 2014 Commodity Classic that there will be an estimated 200,000 acres planted this year, up from 50,000 acres in 2013.

“Our industry goal is to have 18 million acres of high oleic soybeans by 2023,” he said.

The USB is spending $60 million over five years starting in 2013 to help ensure that happens.

Russ Sanders, marketing director for enhanced oil ventures at DuPont, which is the developer of Plenish high oleic soybeans, said the trait is a game-changer for the industry and will help soybeans reclaim market share lost to canola.

“Sometimes I think we incorrectly look at high oleic as another trait that we’re bringing to the market,” he said.

“This is really a fundamental repositioning of this industry in a lot of ways. In our shop we talk about literally the reinvention of soybean oil.”

Plenish delivers yields on par with Pioneer’s elite commodity soybean varieties.

Sanders said the soybean industry has a lot of work to do to reclaim market share lost to Cana-

RUSS SANDERS DUPONT

dian canola.

“When you think about high oleic canola, those guys have made terrific progress the last few years and frankly have in some ways eaten our lunch,” he said.

Sarah Vacek, soybean quality traits production manager for Monsanto, said the company’s Vistive Gold soybeans offer growers a $23 per acre advantage over its commodity beans.

That is based on a 60 cent per bushel premium for growing Vistive Gold in addition to a $12.50 per acre premium to compensate growers for extra stewardship steps they have to take due to the lack of approval for the product in key export markets like Europe.

Monsanto hopes to achieve all regulatory approvals in time for a 2015 commercial launch of the product and hopes to see big acres at that time.

“The one thing that we hear over and over again is that there is demand for this product,” said Vacek.

Call said high oleic soybeans are expected to elevate the price of commodity soybeans by 66 cents per bu., so even soybean farmers who live in areas unsuitable for production of the crop will benefit from the new trait.

“That 66 cents per bushel, it may seem like a small number but it equates to $3.8 billion annually back to U.S. soybean farmers,” he said.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas — A major U.S. commodity group intends to be far more proactive in promoting the need to develop genetically modified wheat.

The National Association of Wheat Growers first endorsed GM wheat at its convention in 2008.

“Since that time we’ve kind of relied on the industry to make it happen,” said past-president Bing Von Bergen.

“We know that as a grower organization that we’ve got to promote this more.”

He told a news conference at the 2014 Commodity Classic that NAWG has been too silent on the issue.

“We’re aware of that, and we’ve let our industry partners know that we’re going to speak out on it whenever we can,” said Von Bergen.

“There seems to be a lot of misinformation about the safety of the new technologies out there.”

President Paul Penner said a chorus of voices needs to speak out in favour of the controversial technology.

Wheat industry organizations in the United States, Canada and Australia signed a trilateral agreement in 2009 to push for synchronized commercialization of GM wheat in those three important wheat exporting nations.

Penner said it is time to update the wording of that agreement and perhaps add Argentina to the pact.

He has had recent conversations with Grain Farmers of Ontario and the Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association in which he stressed the importance of synchronized commercialization.

“We don’t want to have one nation pitting itself against the other in terms of the marketing (of GM wheat),” said Penner.

“There could be all kinds of problems coming out of that. Working together is a better way.”

Most major seed technology companies are developing GM wheat.

Monsanto attempted to commercialize Roundup Ready wheat a decade ago but shelved the project in 2004 because of a lack of industry support for the product.

The company got back into wheat research in 2009.

“We are working on various biotech traits,” said Kevin Hodges, Monsanto’s wheat licensing and marketing manager.

The company is in the early stages of developing yield and stress traits and has already advanced two herbicide tolerant traits in its research and development pipeline.

“We’re probably still a decade away until the farmer can see those, so we’re still looking at a long horizon on the biotech front,” said Hodges.

Darrell Davis, past-chair of U.S. Wheat Associates, expressed frustration at how long it is taking for companies to develop GM wheat.

“They’ve been saying seven to 10 years for quite a few years,” he said.

Davis said GM wheat will be more acceptable to the public if some of the traits under development benefit millers and consumers.

Aussie drought threatens 201415 agricultural output

CANOLA COUNCIL | OIL BOOM

Canola oil premium may return Booming demand | Asian consumers’ growing affluence sparks demand for quality food

BY ED WHITE

CANBERRA, Australia (Reuters) — Drought across Australia’s east coast might cut production of key agricultural commodities such as wheat, canola and beef next season and reduce exports.

Forecasts of a return of dry El Nino weather conditions across the key farming states of Queensland and New South Wales later this year mean the prospects for agricultural production remain uncertain.

Global markets will carefully watch forecasts of Australia’s crop, particularly in light of recent concerns over tensions disrupting supply in the Black Sea, one of the world’s key grain exporting regions.

Australian wheat production is forecast to fall 8.2 percent to 24.795 million in the 2014-15 season from 27.013 million tonnes in 2013-14, said the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences.

ABARES said the decline in production will come despite a two percent increase in planted acreage because yields should return to historical average levels after last year’s exceptionally high yields. The forecast is based on normal growing season rainfall.

“The crop will go in the ground, but we will be relying on rains across the country,” said Luke Mathews, commodities strategist with the Commonwealth Bank of Australia.

Despite the dry conditions, this season’s wheat harvest could be the country’s sixth-largest crop on record.

Australian canola production in 2014-15 is expected to fall 17 percent to 2.948 million tonnes, ABARES said, down from the 3.548 million tonnes in the previous season. Dry conditions will discourage seeding, with planting seen falling five percent, it said.

ABARES increased its forecast for 2013-14 beef exports to 1.15 million tonnes amid record slaughter because of a two-year drought in the cattle state of Queensland.

ABARES said Australia’s national herd will fall to 27.1 million head, the lowest since 2009-10, which was also affected by drought.

WINNIPEG BUREAU

SAN ANTONIO, Texas — The world might be preparing to give canola some of its price mojo back, analysts said at the Canola Council of Canada’s annual convention.

Booming demand for healthful vegetable oil, especially from Southeast Asia, gives canola a relative advantage in gaining new demand compared to soybeans and palm oil over the next decade, said Rabobank Agrifinance vicepresident Sterling Liddell.

Anne Frick of the investment firm Jeffries Bache said soybean oil is likely to rebound in value soon compared to soybean meal prices, so the factors that make canola cheap compared to soybeans are probably close to reversing.

“The current cycle is getting very long.… We’re overdue for a cycle low (in soy oil prices),” she said.

“Canola prices have gotten so cheap compared to soybean prices, and oil prices have gotten so low relative to soybean meal prices, that could spur additional U.S. imports of both canola oil and also canola meal.”

Frick said she believes soybean meal prices are at the high end of their long-term range, while soybean oil prices are at the low end.

The soybean oil cycle is usually 45 months, but this present cycle leading to the low is 58 months, so a turnaround is likely soon for both components of soybeans.

“We’re really stretching the envelope here on how low oil prices are going relative (to) meal prices,” said Frick.

She said the world is going into its second year in a row of surplus oilseed production. As well, world canola production exceeded consumption for the first time in three years this year.

However, the canola surplus is not a big problem by itself.

“Ending stocks are still fairly small relative to consumption,” said Frick, estimating the carry-out to use ratio at 8.2 percent.

The U.S. vegetable oil demand

China has a new McDonald’s and a new KFC opening every other day, which tends to lead to canola being incorporated in more diets. | FILE PHOTO situation is also good because of the dearth of U.S. soybeans.

However, world supplies are more comfortable, as shown in low soybean oil prices.

“We have a tremendous dichotomy between what’s going on in supply and demand and ending stocks outlook for the U.S. and for what’s going on in the world,” said Frick.

Liddell said canola is on a good competitive path over the next few years as Southeast Asia moves up the quality chain.

When consumers are simply adding oil to their diet they usually opt for the cheapest product, which is generally palm oil. They switch to soybean oil products when they move into a more “convenience” style of eating and consumption.

However, canola is commonly used when consumers begin to

demand high quality food products.

Liddell said that’s the case in China, and he sees the same thing happening in countries throughout the region, including populous Indonesia and Malaysia.

China has a new McDonald’s and a new KFC opening every other day, which tends to lead to canola being incorporated in more diets.

“You can see the demand for these products, for canola oil in particular, just have a good future,” said Liddell.

He said the canola industry should expect to see canola oil regain its premium value to soybean oil and soybeans as soybeans’ reputation declines and canola rises.

“Over the last few years, we have seen soybean oil become somewhat of the dog of the (veg oil) complex,” said Liddell.

Visit us online at www.producer.com to see a video about this story.

Soybean oil is no longer always described as healthful, he added.

“Nobody’s arguing the benefits of canola oil.”

However, Liddell believes the best chance to add value to canola is to promote livestock producters to use more canola meal. Canola already has a premium value built into it, but canola meal trades at a discount.

“That’s where a lot of the opportunity is,” said Liddell.

“I would argue it’s meal. It’s enhancing the usage of canola meal in other rations throughout North America and elsewhere.”

Wheat shipments to U.S. ‘brisk’ More grain heads south | Canadian truck traffic at U.S. elevators is up as rail shipments stall

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

SAN ANTONIO, Texas — Canadian wheat is having a tough time getting to many export markets this winter, but there is one important destination where sales are brisk.

Shipments to the United States are way up, according to U.S. Wheat Associates.

“We are a little concerned about the transportation issues that you’re suffering in Canada and the potential for that moving more (grain) than otherwise … to the south,” USW president Alan Tracy said during an interview at the 2014 Commodity Classic conference.

“The biggest increase percentage wise has been by truck, and it has been substantial.”

ALAN TRACY U.S. WHEAT ASSOCIATES PRESIDENT

Tracy didn’t have data at his fingertips, but he has heard reports that Canadian truck traffic at U.S. elevators is up 50 percent.

Canadian statistics back up his observation of a big increase in sales south. Canadian wheat exports to the U.S. are 1.1 million tonnes though the first six months of 2013-14, according to the Canadian Grain Commission, which counts bulk shipments.

It is up from 788,400 tonnes for the same period a year ago and 614,400 tonnes for the first half of 2011-12.

Statistics Canada, which tracks all exports, says wheat exports to the U.S. to the end of December totaled 1.42 million, up from 1.04 million in the same period the previous crop year.

Tracy said the open market sorts out where Canadian wheat should be moving, and right now there is a strong incentive for it to flow south instead of east or west.

“There are some fairly substantial price differentials at the border these days for similar types of wheat, and there is really no restriction for wheat coming south,” said Tracy.

The increased Canadian truck traffic causes some friction with U.S. wheat farmers, but there is no denying that strong demand exists for the product.

“There is still a need for Canadian wheat in the United States, to be frank about it,” Tracy said.

“We’re Canada’s largest customer for wheat.”

However, he would like U.S. wheat to have equal access to the Canadian marketplace, which isn’t the case now because Canada’s variety registration system treats all U.S. wheat as general purpose wheat.

Tracy said he has spoken to Canadian government officials and industry groups about those concerns, but not much action has been taken on the issue. He understands that providing equal access to Canada is on the backburner while the Canadian wheat industry continues moving to an open market, which is something

It pays to listen to your AIR SEEDER.

Increased Canadian truck traffic across the border is causing friction with U.S. wheat farmers. | USW has wanted for decades.

“Hopefully our guys remain somewhat patient,” he said.

In the meantime, Canadian grain will continue moving south.

Not all of it is staying in the U.S. There has been an increase in the amount of Canadian grain using the U.S. rail system to get to ports on the West Coast.

“We’re a little congested too but that doesn’t frankly bother us too much. We have the port capacity to

be of help there,” said Tracy.

As well, there have been positive export developments for U.S. wheat farmers as a result of Canada’s transportation quagmire.

“We’ve had some wheat accelerated out of the U.S. to kind of fill in the backlog or the shortage of Canadian wheat,” said Tracy.

In particular, sales of U.S. wheat to northern Asia have been stronger than usual because customers can’t get the Canadian wheat they ordered.

OATS | TRANSPORTATION

U.S. millers concerned about west coast focus Oat supply in jeopardy | Western Canada’s clogged railways have American millers on the brink of closure

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Gerry Ritz’s announcement last week that Canadian railways are prioritizing grain shipments to west coast ports has set off alarm bells at U.S. oat mills, says an industry representative.

At a grain conference in Winnipeg in late February, agriculture minister Ritz said the railways are adding thousands of rail cars but the additional capacity will not be used to ship grain south.

“They’ve told the grain companies that they’re not going to entertain anything, in the next short time, that goes to the U.S. or Thunder Bay,” Ritz said.

Terry Tyson, grain procurement manager at Grain Millers Inc., which operates mills in Yorkton, Sask., Iowa and Oregon, said the oat trade has been buzzing over Ritz’s comments.

“It’s been dominating discussions within our industry since that came out, that (the West Coast) was the new focus,” he said from his Yorkton office. “(But) even before minister Ritz’s announcement, the railroads had begun to convey that message to us in the oat trade.”

Randy Strychar, an oat industry analyst and grain trader in Vancouver, warned last week that U.S. mills

Without access to Canadian oats, American millers’ supply is running short. | are running dangerously low on oats.

They can’t obtain sufficient supplies from Canada because of the railway logjam and shortage of grain cars on the Prairies.

Strychar said mills could shut down if rail cars aren’t available to transport Canadian oats to the Midwest.

Tyson confirmed that scenario is possible.

“I can speak for our mills in the U.S…. (At) one of our two U.S. facilities, I don’t know if we’d make 30 (days),” he said.

“It would come down to who is getting cars and who isn’t … (but) without

FILE PHOTO

Canadian supply, mills will run empty.”

Ritz said the U.S. hiatus would be short term, but Tyson said the oat industry doesn’t know what “short term” means.

“We don’t know how long this is going to persist,” he said.

“Our industry as a whole would

almost put out a plea to reconsider this complete and utter focus on the West Coast and nothing else.”

The railways have told oat millers that shipping oats to the Midwest is less efficient than transporting grain to ports such as Vancouver.

Shipments going west are usually 100 car trains, while oats going south are shipped in 25 car trains or fewer.

“If they head south, for most mills, they (railways) have to hand off the cars to another carrier to deliver in and bring back to switch out again,” Tyson said.

“They say that adds to their time frame. As well as, dealing with 25 car trains instead of 100.”

He said oat millers are evaluating potential solutions, such as identifying locations that could accept 100 car trains. Other oat millers would access grain from those central terminals.

“If the problem is the cars don’t turn fast enough or efficiently enough … what can we (oat millers) do to fix that?” Tyson said.

“It’s about making ourselves pretty again (to the railways).”

Tyson said oat millers are also considering the long-term implications of limited rail capacity in Western Canada.

American winter wheat crop faring better, but worries persist

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

SAN ANTONIO, Texas — The U.S. winter wheat crop looks vastly better than it did a year ago at this time, but there are still pockets of concern, say two farm leaders.

Darrell Davis, past-chair of U.S. Wheat Associates, said there was plenty of moisture and good germination where he farms in South Dakota.

“It went in in really good condition,” said Davis.

“We’re really looking forward to a really good crop in that area.”

Davis’s son recently drove through the heart of the U.S. winter wheat growing area on his way to attend the 2014 Commodity Classic conference.

“He drove down all the way from northern South Dakota to Texas and he said he seen good wheat all the way down,” said Davis.

Crop condition ratings are generally up from where they were a year ago.

In Kansas, 34 percent of the crop was rated good to excellent as of March 3, compared to 23 in those two categories a year ago.

Nearly one-third of Oklahoma’s crop made the top two grades compared to nine percent a year ago.

In Texas, the crop condition is similar to a year ago, with 15 percent in good to excellent shape compared to 18 percent at the same time in 2013.

Areas of concern include northwestern Kansas, said Paul Penner, president of the National Association

DARRELL DAVIS FORMER U.S. WHEAT ASSOCIATES CHAIR

of Wheat Growers.

“They are bone dry,” he said.

“They did have some rain just prior to sowing so they did get some wheat up, but now they’re really concerned as the wheat emerges,” he said.

Winterkill is a possibility.

Penner said it has also been dry since October in parts of central Kansas, where he farms.

“We’re anxious. We’d like to see more rain come down,” he said. However, conditions remain a mixed bag.

“There are places in central Kansas the wheat looks awesome,” said Penner.

The tale will be told in two to three weeks when the wheat leaves dormancy.

The wheat looks good in southern Kansas, where rain has been plentiful, but Penner said northeastern Colorado is another area of concern.

Davis said the persistent drought in western Kansas and eastern Colorado is hard to break.

“It’s going to take a few years for them to really get enough subsoil moisture to say that they’re out of a drought, so they need timely rains all the way through,” he said.

ensions in Ukraine lifted wheat futures March 3 and provided modest support for corn.

Given the fluid situation I won’t t speculate much on how Russia’s takeover of the Crimean peninsula will affect Ukraine’s grain exports.

However, it’s worth noting that Ukraine, with its rich black soil, is already a major grain exporter and has plans to expand further.

Its wheat production is most concentrated in the south and the east, which tend to have a larger number of Russian speakers. Corn production is focused in central areas.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture forecasts that Ukraine will export 10 million tonnes of wheat in 2013-14, or six percent of global shipments.

Ukraine has quickly become the world’s third largest corn exporter, behind the United States and Brazil.

Production rose from 3.85 million tonnes and almost no exports in 2000 to a crop of 30.9 million tonnes and 18.5 million tonnes of exports this year, or 16 percent of global exports.

Exports go out through ice-free Black Sea ports.

The Food and Agriculture Organization says agriculture accounted for 8.2 percent of gross domestic product in 2010 and 14.5 percent of exports. Because of its large contribution to trade, the country has a strong interest in keeping grain exports flowing and farmers on track in managing their crops.

Ukraine’s currency, the hryvnia, is down 16 percent against the U.S. dollar since the start of the year.

That lifts the local price of grain but makes imported inputs such as fertilizer more expensive. The unrest will also likely make it more difficult for farmers to obtain credit.

Indeed, lack of credit and investment are major deterrents to realizing Ukraine’s agricultural potential.

China has targeted Ukraine as a potential supplier. It gave Ukraine a $3 billion loan in 2012 to improve its agricultural infrastructure in return for three million tonnes of corn a year at market prices set at the time of export.

Some media report that the loan deal is now floundering, but others say the problems are overblown.

Most of Ukraine’s winter wheat survived in good shape. Spring seeding has just begun in some southern areas, and its progress will depend on whether the political situation continues to deteriorate.

“If there is a risk that a tank appears in your field, you would think twice before you start sowing,” a Russian trader told Reuters.

American fed live prices exploded $4-$6 per hundredweight higher and dressed sales soared $7-$10, posting new records on tight supply.

However, Canadian packers paid no notice, maintaining bids around $8 lower than the previous week.

Feedlots rejected the bids, and sales were too light to establish a price trend.

The terrible cash-to-futures basis encouraged local feedlots to seek U.S. interest, and a handful of cattle traded south on a grid-price base.

The Alberta cash-to-futures basis of around -$32 was the weakest since 2005, when the consequences of BSE were still having an impact.

Western Canadian fed slaughter in the short week ending Feb. 22 fell 15 percent to 27,372.

U.S BEEF RISES

The feeder market was generally flat.

Price weakness at the high and low weight ranges was likely a reflection of quality rather than market conditions.

Steers 500–800 pounds rose about $1.50 per cwt.

It is not unusual for prices for lighter calves and heavier feeders to diverge at this time of year, reflecting the different marketing windows.

March usually sees the lowest prices of the year for 850 lb. steers.

The feeder basis is weak, and feeder exports in the week ending Feb. 15 were more than 10,000 head for the first time this calendar year.

Auction volumes were similar to the previous week and slightly lower than last year.

U.S. interest is expected to remain strong, providing good support for feeder prices.

US boxed beef prices soared on tight supply, with Choice up $7.09 US per cwt. at $221.41 and Select up $7.64 at $219. Weekly Canadian cutouts to Feb. 22 are unavailable. For the week ending Feb. 15, AAA cutouts were up $4.90 and AA rose $3.57.

The Choice-AAA spread that week narrowed to $3 from -$17 the previous week.

Montreal wholesale prices for next week’s delivery strengthened to $227-$229 per cwt.

March 1 was 2.169 million, up from 2.113 million the previous week.

Slaughter was 2.162 million in the same week last year.

In light trade, 2012 bulls and heifers 800-900 lb. were $1.90-$1.95 per lb.

Ontario Stockyards Inc. reported 904 sheep and lambs and 104 goats traded Feb. 24. All lambs sold steady.

Good lean sheep sold steady while fat and really thin types sold under pressure. Good kid goats sold actively at slightly higher prices. Heavy, mature goats were barely steady.

Stronger boxed beef values should support fed prices, but kill floor chain speed is expected to remain sluggish, and local packers have a comfortable supply.

Canadian packer interest is expected to remain lackluster, so most feedlots will keep cattle on feed.

TRANSPORTATION | IMPROVING EFFICIENCY

CRAIG’S VIEW

Improving information flow crucial to grain movement

T

he next time you are asked to complete a Statistics Canada crop survey, think positively about it.

Information is the lifeblood of any system, and it is clear this year that information gaps in the grain industry contribute to costly inefficiencies.

Much more must be done to correct problems in the grain transportation logistics system, but it has quickly become apparent that lack of information and communication is one problem.

The federal government has responded by ordering improvements to the Grain Monitoring Program to widen the amount of information collected and the frequency.

The data covers the size of the hopper car fleet, the number of cars the grain companies order, railway performance in filling those orders, the performance of port terminals when unloading cars, the time it takes to cycle from country elevator to delivery point and back and the amount of grain moved in containers.

An adage of business is that measuring a thing is the first step in understanding it and through understanding comes the ability to control and improve.

The collection of this information will help the grain and rail companies identify problem areas to rectify. It also helps hold players to account for shortcomings.

The government should also start to collect export sales data.

Grain exporters in the United States must report sales to the agriculture department, which releases it weekly.

This way, the transportation system knows the volume of grain it will be expected to move and when it must be moved. Also, everyone in the market knows if sales are keeping pace with expectations and adjust grain prices accordingly.

If movement is too fast, the price rises to ration demand, and if it is too low, the price falls to stimulate demand.

Statistics Canada keeps track only of exports and reports monthly. The picture is like looking through the rearview mirror. It is always about two months behind, lessen-

ing its value in planning and marketing.

Statistics Canada also collects and reports data on the size of the crop.

The railways partly blame their performance shortfall on not knowing the true magnitude of the record-breaking crop until the fall, and then it took time to put in place the staff and equipment needed to haul it.

This ignorance is hard to accept because by August it was becoming obvious that the crop would easily surpass the average. However, the situation again makes clear the need for accurate and open information on crop size.

That’s why we are concerned about Statistic Canada’s plan to drop the September crop production survey in favour of a mathematical model that uses satellite data to produce production estimates.

We encourage the agency to adopt new technology to complement and elaborate on the information from its surveys, but the remote sensing technology is not yet accurate enough to stand on its own.

The September survey already tends to be conservative relative to final production. This is likely a result of farmers not wanting to count their bushels before they are in the bin and an effort by some to “talk up” the market by leaving the impression of a short crop.

However, any action that lessens the quality of the information ultimately hurts all players in the industry.

Questionable reports give more power to rumour and those who would manipulate the market to their own benefit.

Filling out Statistics Canada surveys or amassing data for government reports might be a hassle and appear to be an intrusion on privacy.

However, the benefits from accurate information — from fair crop pricing to efficient grain logistics to ensuring crop inputs are available when needed — far outweigh the costs of collecting it.

LIVESTOCK | ANALYZING TRADE IMPLICATIONS

Focus on beef exports over domestic demand must be examined CATTLE CALL

ROSS MACDONALD

T

he beef market and the cattle market that feeds it are on a roll.

I am excited about the next several years, but it will be easy to lose sight of what is important. As I watch markets soar to record levels and try to stay grounded in my business decisions, I wonder if we as producers have

clearly identified what is important?

To further this discussion, let’s start with a fundamental assumption that Canada’s domestic market for beef is the anchor for the industry.

Our Canadian customers rally around the beef industry in times of beef recalls and border closures.

However, now that the long awaited rise in market prices is appearing and export markets have the potential to pull prices higher, is it safe to assume that Canada will continue to supply itself with beef?

The Canfax 2014 annual outlook suggests that Canada will need to import more beef to meet consumer demand. Is this an indication that Canada is exporting so much beef that we have a domestic shortfall?

Should a secure domestic beef sup-

ply be No. 1 on the Canadian industry’s list of priorities?

I think it should be, but if it is, the message is lost in discussion of potentially lucrative export markets.

A domestic beef security index could be developed to identify the risks and rewards of the export market, especially if it is at the expense of domestic beef supply. If such an index already exists, there is no better time to dust it off and revisit Canada’s domestic beef supply security.

As an example, consider the export potential to China. The potential for Canadian beef exports is often extrapolated from China’s rapidly rising gross national product. But what is the relationship between China’s demand for beef relative to China’s GNP? China’s worth is impressive when

compared to other countries, but I don’t understand the intricacies of China’s beef consumption. Is a $1 increase in China’s national worth correlated with a $1 increase in Canadian beef purchases? If not, why not?

The answers will help develop a more focused picture of the opportunity for Canadian beef exports to China. The same questions should be asked of all of Canada’s export markets.

The strength of Canada’s cattle industry can be partially attributed to the freedom each producer has to make production choices that fit their operation. Each new market opportunity comes with the potential for profit but also the risk of loss when those export markets close.

More clearly identifying market risks and rewards will serve the local and

national policy discussions well and help with long-term decisions about production methods and related infrastructure needs.

If the history of cattle and beef production in Canada can teach us anything, it is that global market fluctuations and politically motivated border closures are a reality. I think we owe it to ourselves and those who will follow to better understand the risks of entering a particular export market.

We have strong domestic and global demand for Canadian beef, and there are several exciting years ahead. It would be a shame to sell ourselves short on beef supply and long-term thinking.

& OPEN FORUM FARM POLICY | AMERICAN AGRICULTURAL LEGISLATION

FARM POLICY | NATIONAL GROUP

The new U.S. farm bill is so unCOOL

BY SYLVAIN CHARLEBOIS

T

he new American farm bill contains significant bad news for Canada.

Signed by president Barack Obama a few weeks ago, this $956 billion deal will increasingly isolate America from the global agrifood market, and the once strongly integrated North American agricultural economy will become progressively less fluid.

Frankly speaking, this strategy appears to suggest that the Americans are not as concerned with this shift as they should be.

Canada’s primary issue in this matter is its livestock industry, particularly country-of-origin labelling.

The United States has required meat producers to segregate and label animals originating from other countries since 2002. As a result, American-based food processors are obligated to set up separate production lines, which is often financially prohibitive.

With past food safety scares such as BSE and foot-and-mouth disease, the Americans felt the need to address perceptual risks.

Most analysts assumed that the COOL policy would be loosened somewhat upon Obama’s arrival in the White House, but the administration tightened regulations. Consequently, U.S.-bound exports of meat from Canada have dropped significantly since 2008 and could potentially cost much more than $1 billion a year in losses to our agricultural economy.

In essence, the farm bill fosters the principle of buying local, on a global scale. In retrospect, Canada is just as guilty as the Americans in encouraging consumers to do the same.

The continuation of country-of-origin labelling will be one of the farm bill’s biggest impacts on Canadian agriculture, says the author. | FILE PHOTO In addition to federal programs, most provinces have had their own “buy local” food programs in place for years. Given the sheer market clout and influence of the American economy, their industry has been able to get away with it. Why? Mere economics.

Canada and Mexico are now considering retaliatory tariffs on a range of U.S. goods in concert with an appeal at the World Trade Organization to be made later this month. It’s not clear how this tactic would better serve our own consumers, since tariffs on imports, for example, would likely increase the cost of many goods

we buy every single day.

The American farm bill is little more than a cornucopia of public subsidies for its food industry. However, this is not in any way a recent state of affairs.

Indeed, following the aftermath of the Great Depression, such subsidies have been perceived as a morally binding contract between American agriculture and the federal government, with national security hanging in the balance. While it has worked internally for America to a certain extent, it has distorted trade equity for decades.

In spite of this, there is some good

news of note. The new farm bill marks the end of direct payments to farmers. Under the old policy, a kind of agricultural welfare was in place, in which farmers were paid to not grow anything.

Instead, Washington is taking on greater risk to protect farmers when production is affected by harsh weather patterns. Notably, the bill offers provisions for farmers who show an interest in such things as growing sushi rice. Like the food stamps program, this is yet another example of how the farm bill has been able to alleviate the reality of the political divide between rural and urban culture in America.

Nonetheless, the bill unequivocally ignores America’s vital role in the global food system. It is intentionally designed to cater exclusively to national agriculture and consumers, with extreme prejudice.

We may dislike such an approach, but the fact is that the U.S. has offered something to its agriculture industry that Canada has struggled with for years: a vision for what many would consider the most important sector in the American economy. Unlike Canada’s agricultural policies, the farm bill does pick winners and losers.

Due to shifting systemic risks and climate change, Washington opted to protect certain farmers over others. It is decidedly unCanadian, granted, but at least the framework is impressively focused, whether we agree with it or not.

SEED VARIETIES | BREEDERS’ RIGHTS

Benefits of UPOV 91 come with price tag HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

T

he federal government plans to pass legislation by August that will strengthen plant breeders’ rights so that Canada will finally conform to the international UPOV 91 treaty.

The National Farmers Union continues to raise alarm bells over the change, and its fear mongering resonates with those who like to view farmers as the victims of big business.

Most of the controversy surrounds farmers’ ability to save their own seed, but in truth many farmers are not fully aware of how the current rules work, let alone what the changes will mean.

Most varieties of wheat, durum,

barley, oats and flax are currently protected by plant breeders’ rights, meaning you can save seed for your own use but can’t sell or trade it to another producer. Just check the seed variety guide.

Regulators typically go after only those making significant sales of protected varieties, but it’s still illegal on a smaller scale.

Under the updated legislation, the ability to save and use your own seed is specifically granted under farmer’s privilege, but the naysayers claim that just calling it a privilege shows it’s something that could be removed.

The regulators say they wrestled with the term privilege and considered using farmers’ exclusion instead.

However, what you call it is less important than the practical ramifications.

There are many instances where farmers give up the right to save their own seed. In many closed loop production systems, there’s a requirement for producers to use certified seed and sell all of the production back to the company. No seed can be retained.

Farmers judge the merit of these

contracts and don’t get hung up on saving seed if the overall opportunity is to their liking.

With canola, virtually no one is interested in saving their own seed.

With hybrid seed, many of the benefits are lost in subsequent generations. Besides, the seed treatments used for canola are not approved for on-farm application.

There are lots of complaints about the price of canola seed, but the crop dominates Western Canada’s acreage because it typically generates some of the best returns.

With cereals, we’re used to most of the varieties coming from public breeding programs. Producers buy certified seed when they want to try a new variety, but after that they usually save their own seed from one year to the next. The federal government is withdrawing from variety development on many of the major crops. Private companies are investing to fill the void, and they say the improvements to breeders’ rights will increase investment.

Will the new legislation actually

lessen the ability of producers to save their own seed on the crops where the practice remains prevalent? The legislation by itself won’t, but subsequent regulations could eventually curtail farmers’ privilege.

Officials promise this would happen only after extensive consultation, but it’s certainly possible in the years ahead. This also opens the door to end point royalties on farmer saved seed. More varieties that benefit farmers will be available as we move to UPOV 91 and beyond, but farmers will be paying for them.

There’s no free lunch.

Canada is one of the last developed nations to move to UPOV 91 standards. It’s been talked about since the original legislation died on the order paper in 1999. While the modernization is long overdue, as farmers we’ll also need to modernize our attitude.

The private sector won’t invest without a way to recoup their money.

CFA continues to be important organization EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

JOANNE PAULSON, EDITOR

A

nd you think annual general meetings are boring.

At the Canadian Federation of Agriculture meeting in Ottawa last week, there were several big name speakers and interesting visitors.

Even the resolution votes generated plenty of interest.

For example, resolution 29 dealt with the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement. There was a good debate with farmers clearly divided along supply management and non-SM lines.

Essentially, the resolution put forth that the CFA should lobby the government for several supports for Canada’s dairy producers. Among them was a request that the transition period for providing access to Canada’s market should be no less than 10 years.

That brought a reaction from the non-SM side. For instance, one pork producer pointed out that CETA would be excellent for him, offering new markets to his struggling sector.

He noted that this sort of issue was why the Canadian Pork Council pulled out of the CFA a year ago.

The resolution’s language was altered to state the transition period should be lengthy only if other commodities were not negatively affected.

That change did not carry the day.

The resolution remained intact and passed by a narrow margin.

Divisions within the CFA are longstanding and to jaded observers, perhaps not fascinating. But this is a useful organization, with strong farm group members. Its frailties should be faced, and if possible, mended.

Much is riding on it. Allow me to illustrate with another resolution.

It suggested that the CFA should lobby government to hold consultations with farm and commodity groups before any government agricultural programs are terminated or altered.

Good idea, although one speaker expressed concern that this resolution would give the government licence to talk to whomever it wants, and thereby divide the farm lobby.

Another speaker noted that the government should take direction from elected leaders of general farm organizations. While coming from different angles, the viewpoints were basically the same: get government to consult widely. The resolution carried with 85 percent in favour.

Farmers need a strong collective voice to engage governments and other industry players, particularly when hell is breaking loose — like it is today over grain transportation. The CFA, with its national base, offers such a voice when it finds agreement.

AGMs? In this case, not boring at all.

VISION FOR AGRICULTURE To the Editor: Our government’s vision for agriculture is founded in the direction that the vast majority of producers are asking us to take.

After extensive industry consulta-

tions, last December our government introduced the Agricultural Growth Act. Within the act is a provision to finally move Canada toward implementation and ratification of UPOV 91, after 22 years of consultations.

The (National Farmers Union) is noticeably alone in (its) opposition to this bill, but this comes as no surprise. The NFU opposing innovation is about as shocking as spotting a Rider ’s flag in Regina on game day.

The provisions to amend plant breeders’ rights under the Agricultural Growth Act have the solid support of a broad range of industry groups, including the Grain Growers of Canada, Prairie Oat Growers Asso-

ciation, Barley Council of Canada, Grain Farmers of Ontario, Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association, Cereals Canada and Western Barley Growers Association.

Farmers across Canada are embracing the opportunity opened up by this legislation to realize innovative, disease-resistant, higher-yielding varieties, while maintaining their right to save and clean their own seed.

To be clear, unlike UP OV 78, entrenched within the provisions of UPOV 91 is the farmer’s right to save and clear their own seed. Anyone who says otherwise is displaying a willful ignorance of the contents of this important bill.

As an exporting nation, our govern-

ment is opening up markets for Canadian products around the world.

Farmers want us to get in line with our major trading partners on plant breeders’ rights, so they can have the innovative tools they will need to beat the competition, build a stronger farmgate and feed the world.

Gerry Ritz, agriculture minister, Ottawa, Ont.

LOOK AT ORGANIC To the Editor: I am writing in response to Kevin Hursh’s column (Jan. 9 WP) “Prepare

LOST OPPORTUNITIES To the Editor: Saskatchewan could have paired Saskatchewan wind power with Manitoba Hydro. Our premier chose instead to invest $1.2 billion of our tax money into a carbon capture and storage project that will generate a paltry 110 megawatts and burn 30 percent more coal.

We are also spending an unknown amount of our money into research on experimental small nuclear reactors.

The Americans saw the opportunity to pair their abundant wind power generating facilities with Manitoba Hydro. Minnesota Power and Manitoba Hydro have inked a deal under which electricity from excess wind power in North Dakota can be stored in Manitoba’s hydro reservoir when loads and prices are low, with the potential for selling that power back into the huge Midwest Independent Transmission System Operator at times when needs are high.

Manitoba is already a participant in MISO, with some of the lowest electricity rates in North America. The deal involves building a new $1 billion transmission line with the cost split.

Minnesota will build the U.S. portion and Manitoba the Canadian portion, and at the same time Manitoba is going to build new power dams that create more storage capability….

Saskatchewan could have chosen to go this route. We could have chosen to encourage production of renewables with feed in tariffs and a preference for local production.

Rural communities would have been stabilized as well as the incomes of far mers, ranchers and First Nations. Our greenhouse gas emissions per capita, the highest in Canada and among the highest of any jurisdiction anywhere, would have dropped. We could have built the connecting lines with Manitoba Hydro.

Wind and hydro are a great combination to provide a complimentary, stable electrical system with very low greenhouse gas implications.

Saskatchewan is going to double our wind power production — to a whole 200 MW. No manufacturing.

North Dakota has 1,680 MW of wind capacity with about 11,000 MW in various stages of planning and development.

Capital investment in wind power is about $3.3 billion with four manufacturing facilities providing over 1,000 jobs.

WHAT MATTERS MOST?

A strong farming business is always growing and as a young farm manager, so am I. I’ve participated in Syngenta workshops and I’m always impressed.

Putting time, money and effort into things other than selling products proves that Syngenta sincerely wants to help farmers. And that’s refreshing.

OPINION for more to succumb to anti-GMO pressure.”

I do not see this as an anti-GMO force winning. I see it as consumers making an informed decision. The consumer is not fearful; the consumer is well educated.

As Kevin pointed out, the customer is always right. If the customer wants non-GMO, maybe it is time we start supplying non-GMO products. The organic industry does not promote GMOs in production practices or processing.

The organic industry is strong, vibrant and growing because the consumer wants these products.

The pace the consumer is demanding organic goods is outstripping the supply. Maybe it is time for farmers to take another look at organic agriculture.

The price spread between organic and conventional products has never been stronger. If you are a producer

interested in supplying a product the consumer is demanding, talk to a progressive organic farmer in your area. I am sure he would be more than willing to answer any questions.

The organic sector needs more likeminded farmers to supply our customers. Maybe it is time to take another look at organic farming and start supplying the consumers with the products they want.

STUDY SEMI-RATIONAL To the Editor: Re: (Agriculture minister) Gerry Ritz and the $1.5 million five-year grain movement study. The approach is semi-rational at best.

Gerry Ritz, prior to politics, did

some small contractor work. He sold some ostrich eggs to farmer friends and acquainted persons. The Reform Party, with Preston Manning, came up with laissez-faire concepts such as a third railway structure to create competition.

Large farm operators were hellbent on expansion and buying out their smaller acreage neighbours at the lowest possible cost. So big and you’ve got more grain to move.

You’ve also walked into Gerry Ritz and his fascination with the unknown. He, Mr. Ritz, did not study laissez-faire economics, but if you believe ostrich eggs can turn into wealth?

The 2013 large crop started out as “let the good times roll” and starts to appear as “hard times starring you and me.”

(After) the listeria outbreak and patriarchal comments of “death by a thousand cold cuts,” why are expec-

tations of transport efficiency still around?

Distress felt by many is opportunity for the opportunistic. The current state of grain movement is predictable and ideologically consistent in Gerry Ritz’s mindset.

Phil Dyck, Langham, Sask.

GMO HEALTH CONCERNS To the Editor: As a food consumer, food buyer and home vegetable gardener, I want unadulterated, unsprayed and organic or as close to that as possible.

I appreciate organic labels. I applaud organic farmers — certified quality — and their products and appreciate their hard work. I also want to support local growers. I thank The

13

Western Producer for including the stories of organic producers to know they are out there. Keep up the stories, please.

I will not knowingly buy GMO product and thus would really like labels that show GMO free or GMO in content. It is hard to know if all canola, corn, sugar from beets and soy are from GMO plants.

Allergies can be a problem — I am speaking from experience. Is it the plant product, sprays or is it because it is GMO’d? Health is a big concern. I am not alone in my views. Research reports can be less than reliable.

So please, Mr. (Ted) Menzies (president of CropLife Canada), if you are going to promote GMO seed and product, then please also organize and promote labelling of the food product.

Women offer leadership SPIRITUAL VIGNETTES

JOYCE SASSE

E

gyptian women prepared the 2014 World Day of Prayer Service.

Stories of women in the time of baby Moses are linked with the recent history of Egyptians gathering in Tahrir Square demanding a change of government.

In a predominantly Muslim country, the Christian church in Egypt remains strong. Christian women give wise counsel.

“O God, hear our voices from the deserts of our lives” is a mantra that echoes through the service. They know the struggle that comes with caring for farms and families, with living in a culture dominated by other religious values and with the need to make major political change.

Mark the Evangelist served as the First Patriarch of Alexandria. Since that time, the Egyptian Church (Orthodox, Catholic, Protestant and Coptic) has flourished.

This service, solidly based on scriptural story, tells how water can bring life to a desert land and a desert people. The prayer is that “we treasure the water you give us (O God), so we can use it with responsibility and sustainability.”

In 1918, an inter-church group of Canadian women “united in prayer and action” to discuss and give voice to national questions. The World Day of Prayer movement now includes a wonderful web of women’s groups from 170 countries.

In 2013, $90,000 in offerings was distributed for education for women and girls at risk, those fighting violence and abuse, to fight trafficking of women and children and the practice of genital mutilation.

“May the women of Egypt shape their future with the compassion and justice Jesus taught, and be nourished by living water in the desert.”

CFA | SHIPPING BACKLOG

Ritz doubts railway’s shipping capabilities Government considers all options | Railways, grain firms ordered to clean up backlog by end of March or face penalties

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

OTTAWA — Federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz said last week that he doubts the railways will be able to move the grain they need to clear the backlog.

His statements followed a meeting with the railways that he described as containing more sticks than carrots.

“They did it for two weeks in the fall coming off the combine, but to do it in a long term, strategic, week after week, I am skeptical,” he said.

Ritz said Canadian National Railway and Canadian Pacific Railway would need to put far more cars on the rails to clear up the problem.

He said the federal government is still considering all options, including regulations that would fine the railways for poor service. Some reports indicated there could be an announcement earlier this week, after Western Producer deadlines.

Ritz has also ordered the railways and grain companies to clean up all grain contracts from last fall by the end of March or producers will be

able to start charging interest.

“The first and best option is continued dialogue, but we’re not going to talk forever,” he told reporters after addressing farmers at the Canadian Federation of Agriculture annual meeting.

He said the railways continue to spot cars in locations that don’t meet grain companies’ needs, which has to change.

Ritz and federal transport minister Lisa Raitt could also sign regulations allowing for penalties, as well as consider options that include orders-in-

council and legislative change.

Farmers at the meeting said Raitt’s continuing silence on the backlog was a concern.

“We need to have some assurance out of the transport department because my experience has been that transport has always been very railroad friendly,” said Alberta Federation of Agriculture president Lynn Jacobson.

Raitt was supposed to attend a CFA event but did not appear.

Liberal leader Justin Trudeau told the meeting that Raitt should tell the

ALL OF OUR SEED IS FIELD TESTED. JUST LIKE OUR REPS.

45S54 • High yielding canola hybrid • Pioneer Protector® Sclerotinia resistance trait built-in • Rated R for blackleg • Very good standability

railways to “get this done.” He said it’s absurd that Canadian railways are leasing or selling locomotives to the United States while Canadian grain sits.

“It’s something that should be dealt with fairly straightforwardly by a transport minister that’s willing to actually step up and say, ‘get your act together, railroads.’ ” Trudeau said the solution is simple.

“We need mandatory enforceable service agreements with the railways. We need clear penalties that are enforced.”

Federal NDP agriculture critic Malcolm Allen said the bottleneck is strangling the economy, and he urged the government to take more immediate, decisive action.

“The time for talking is over,” he said.

“The time for bringing out the big stick is now.”

Ritz said meetings over the last week included discussion about both carrots and sticks, but mostly sticks. He said he was so “mean” during meetings that the railways called Raitt and asked for him to be removed from the file.

He said the railways must enhance both surge and long-term capacity.

Crops are getting bigger generally, the record crop of 2013 notwithstanding.

Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan president Norm Hall said the railways aren’t even moving as much as they did last year.

“We don’t expect them to move 140 percent of normal of our grain crops, but we do expect them to at least move normal crops,” he said.

Outstanding orders for grain cars were estimated at 55,000 last week, with 50 ships waiting in port. One ship from Japan had been turned away.

Hall said the University of Saskatchewan estimated agricultural losses at $2 to $4 billion.

“That takes out all of the trade deals that you’ve worked so hard to create for us,” he told Ritz.

“That takes out all of the increased yields that we’ve got over the last 20 years. We might as well be growing Marquis and have 25 bushel yields with what they’re doing to us right now.”

Ritz agreed, saying Canada worked hard on the trade deals.

“To see them negated within a year just breaks my heart,” he said.

Sclerotinia can be one of the most devastating diseases your crop will face. But with Pioneer Protector® brand canola hybrids from DuPont Pioneer, you’ll get the protection you need without sacrificing yield.

Pioneer Protector® Sclerotinia Resistant canola hybrids, like 45S54, are some of the highest yielding canola hybrids on the market. Plus, your sclerotinia protection is built right into the seed. Which means you’re getting more than just great seed, you’re getting a good night’s sleep too. Talk to your local Pioneer Hi-Bred sales representative or visit pioneer.com for more information.

Our experts are grown locally Field results show that Pioneer Protector ® Sclerotinia resistance can reduce the incidence of sclerotinia in a canola crop by over 50%. Individual results may vary. Depending on environmental and agronomic conditions, growers planting Pioneer Protector® Sclerotinia resistant hybrids may still require a fungicide application to manage sclerotinia in their crop.

CFA | NATIONAL PLAN

Liberals renew support for national food policy Trudeau says comprehensive vision needed | Party believes in trade but also stands behind supply management

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

OTTAWA — Liberal leader Justin Trudeau says a long-term national food policy is still a priority for his party.

He told the Canadian Federation of Agriculture annual meeting that agriculture is a business and business requires long-term planning.

“The classic joke around Liberals is that there is no problem we don’t think can be solved by a national strategy, but the fact of the matter is that it boggles my mind that we don’t

actually have a comprehensive longterm responsible vision for how we feed our country,” he said.

CFA has been working on a national food strategy and Trudeau noted that agricultural policy should be developed from the farm up rather than Ottawa down.

“We can have a robust, long-term national food policy that is developed with Canada’s farmers,” he said.

The Liberals have for years committed to such a policy.

NDP agriculture critic Malcolm Allen also told CFA delegates that he

has been working on a policy and the draft should be released soon.

“Feel free to be extremely critical,” he said.

Trudeau said he supports continued and increasing trade but is committed to retaining supply management.

“We must be sure not to negotiate away an agricultural institution that gives us a competitive advantage and that in many cases make our stability the envy of markets around the world,” he said.

Research is a third priority for the Liberals. Trudeau said significant

investment in research and development is required if Canada is to remain competitive in the global market, yet the Conservatives are cutting funding.

“We need to increase, not decrease government support for basic agricultural research,” he said. “Economically, this is key to increasing our productivity as a country and strengthening our position as a global competitor.”

After his speech, delegates had other issues for him to consider.

Cuts to business risk management

funding last year did not sit well with CFA vice-president Marcel Groleau.

He noted that farmers are bound to the program for the next five years, but don’t know if it will support them if commodity prices drop significantly. He said programs should be adaptable and allow farmers to remain competitive.

Trudeau responded that a 10-year program would offer more stability.

“There is a need for increased offers of stability because it’s not like another industry that has give and take,” he said.

TRANSPORTATION | BACKLOG

Sask. wants emergency rail legislation

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

The Saskatchewan legislature passed a motion March 3 that calls on Ottawa to introduce emergency legislation to resolve the grain transportation crisis.

Premier Brad Wall said the province supports legislative intervention, whether it is regulation, orderin-council or legislation.

“We’re definitively saying the federal government should look at all of its legislative options,” he told reporters in Regina after introducing the motion.

Saskatchewan wants mandatory service level agreements and penalties, and Wall said the federal government will have to act where the companies wouldn’t.

“Another option might be a legislated mandate on the size of the fleet,” Wall said.

“We’re not picky, just do something, get something done in terms of legislation.”

He agreed that both the federal and provincial conservative governments find themselves in the strange position of having to intervene in an economic sector.

However, he also said the market isn’t that free with only two major railways, and the interests of the nation should outweigh the interests of the companies when it comes to moving food.

An estimated five million tonnes of Saskatchewan grain are waiting to move.

Wall said Canada’s credibility as a food supplier is on the line. He recalled a meeting with a South Asian miller who told him he didn’t even bother calling Canada in December and January because there are questions of reliability.

Economy minister Bill Boyd was scheduled to meet with BNSF railway officials in Fort Worth, Texas, March 4 to discuss how more grain could move south through Northgate at the border.

The opposition NDP members said they supported the motion and Saskatchewan farmers.

Federated Co-op posts record sales

Frigid weather doesn’t bother cold-hardy bison herds

Changing business | Co-op membership growing as number of stores drops due to consolidation

BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Federated Co-operatives Ltd. had a record-setting year in 2013, led by a profitable retail sector. “The results speak for themselves in terms of financial results,� chief executive officer Scott Banda said during the company’s 85th annual meeting in Saskatoon. “Our retails all across Western Canada and the north put in great efforts and they’re the front-line people and do a fantastic job,� he told delegates.

Sales in 2013 totalled a record $9.4 million, up $600 million from 2012.

Net earnings were up 7.4 percent to $879 million, with $574 million returned to local retail co-ops. “In our (co-op) model, that patronage allocation of $574 (million) to give them a return is pretty important because that’s what gets invested right back into our communities,�

Banda said.

Another $512 million was used to finish expanding the Co-op Refinery Complex in Regina and the warehouse in Saskatoon and building the

Carseland petroleum terminal near Calgary.

FCL also bought 17 Viterra fertilizer and seed centres, 14 Sobeys-Safeway grocery stores and four gas bars. “We’ve never really done that type of acquisition of that magnitude, to go out and buy in the market a large group of assets and then turn them over to our retails,� Banda said. “That’s very exciting.�

The number of retail co-op outlets continues to drop because of consolidation and amalgamations, while co-op membership grew to 1.6

million from 1.5 million at the start of last year. About one out of every six adults in Western Canada is a member, and Banda is optimistic that the numbers will continue to grow. “I would suggest that closing the Sobeys-Safeway deal, there’s going to be some new facilities and some new communities and that will again generate more membership,� he said. “What we’re seeing is a whole lot of existing retail co-ops as well branching out into new communities, and that’s increasing the overall membership.�

The nasty weather that has blanketed the Prairies this winter may have most people cursing, but it doesn’t bother bison.

Instead of fighting nature, the Bison Producers of Alberta want more people to start raising the animal that is best suited for the prairie climate. “The cold doesn’t bother them.

They’re perfectly adapted to the climate,� said Thomas Ackermann, chair of the provincial bison organization. “This is bison country.�

Ackerman has cattle and bison on his central Alberta farm. While his cattle have been hunched up and miserable from the cold, his bison are “frolicking in the snow.�

With demand for bison outstripping supply, the bison organization is hosting an introduction to bison session at its upcoming Wild Rose Bison Convention and Sale in Ponoka March 14-15 to attract new producers to the industry. “We have good markets, good prices and a mature market. We need a new generation of producers coming on board,� said Ackermann, chief executive officer of Canadian Rangeland Bison and Elk. For Ackermann, bison’s biggest selling feature is its low maintenance nature. “You can maintain a 100 to 200 head herd and through the year have only a few peak busy times through the year.�

About 500 bison producers raise 100,000 head in the province, but it’s not enough to keep up with demand for bison meat in Canada, the United States and Europe.

Ackermann estimates the industry needs to grow by 10 percent a year for the next five to 10 years to keep up with demand.

The introduction to bison workshop is designed to answer prospective producer questions about feed, markets and handling of the animals.

A concern about how to handle the animals seems to be one of the biggest barriers to entry, he said. However, producers have figured out over the years how to handle the animals with inexpensive and safe handling facilities.

Ackermann said the bison industry is still suffering from the stigma of the exotic livestock boom and bust from 20 years ago, when people bought overpriced livestock such as emu, ostrich and bison, only to have the market drop.

He said the industry is now well established with good markets and proper infrastructure to support bison producers. “Now we have a market for the product.�

SEED SHOW | IMPORTANCE CHANGING

Seed competition gets fewer entries as farms disappear North American Seed Fair | Canola’s popularity another problem because it lacks a category

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Tim Willms of Willms Seeds in Grassy Lake, Alta., has another plaque in his collection.

The seed grower was the pedigreed grand aggregate winner in this year’s North American Seed Fair, a competition that has been running since 1897.

Willms and other southern Alberta seed growers regularly enter the competition, which displayed winners at the Ag Expo trade show held Feb. 26-28 in Lethbridge.

“For me, for the pedigreed, it’s kind of like marketing,” said Willms.

“People see your seed, and look at it.

That’s my biggest benefit. And it’s kind of nice to win.”

Willms said the number of entries has dwindled over the years, an observation confirmed by seed fair vice-chair Rob Wauters. As the number of farms shrinks and the size of farms increases, seed fair entries are lower than in past glory years.

“At least half the entries are from pedigreed seed growers so in the same way that farms have gotten larger and there’s fewer of them, pedigreed seed growers have gotten larger and there’s fewer of them.

There’s fewer people entering samples … and even the open classes that are open to anybody, essentially, sort of the same problem. Just fewer farms,” said Wauters.

Southern Alberta is the hotbed of canola seed production, nearly all of it grown under contract to large seed companies. However, there is no category for canola seed at the fair.

“The companies tend not to put samples in seed fairs, so I think that’s part of it as well,” said Wauters. “I think the companies would say they really view the seed fairs as the bastion of traditional seed growers. I think maybe the optics of a larger company entering into that just aren’t good so they choose not to do that.”

Timing is another factor governing entries. Ag Expo used to occur at the end of March, rather than the end of February. Some seed growers aren’t done their cleaning in time to meet the deadline.

Wauters believes the North American Seed Fair is the oldest in Western Canada. Its display of winners at Ag E x p o a l w ay s d raw s i nt e re s t e d onlookers.

“People look. It’s not like people walk by and nobody pays attention to it. There’s still a certain level of interest in it,” Wauters said.

First place winners receive a plaque, and ribbons are offered for subsequent placements. Prize money is provided in the open and youth classes.

A recent addition is seed art, done as a 4-H project and judged by 4-H rather than the regular seed fair judges.

Wauters said there is never a shortage of seed and forage judges in this

region, which boasts an Agriculture Canada research centre, a university and a large number of seed breeders.

The open aggregate winner this year was Luke Wipf of Cranford, Alta.

MANITOBA YOUNG FARMERS CONFERENCE | FARM SAFETY

Trained employees reduce farm’s risk Orientation protects assets | Employee should be informed on operations and emergency procedures to prevent accidents

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

PORTAGE LA PRAIRIE, Man. — The first day of work can set the tone for the hundreds of days that follow.

With that in mind, the Manitoba government will soon require all employers, including farmers, to hold a job orientation session for new employees.

Jeff Shaw, provincial farm safety coordinator, said orientation plays a key role in accident prevention.

It can make a world of difference if new employees know what to avoid, where to find emergency equipment and when to ask for help.

“Every company I’ve worked for has had an orientation. Take a tour of the farm. G o through where everything is…. Get them familiar with your farm,” said Shaw, who spoke at the Manitoba Young Farmers conference held in Portage la Prairie Feb. 26-27.

“You might go through the tasks that the worker is going to be doing….

You might talk to them about water shutoffs, where the electrical shutoffs are, where first aid kits are, where fire extinguishers are located.”

The Manitoba government intends to make workplace safety orientations mandatory for every new worker, according to a provincial document released a couple of years ago.

Shaw said the legislation would apply to all new workers, even farm labourers who might work for only a few days at harvest time.

Glen Blahey, safety and health specialist with the Canadian Agricultural Safety Association, said he isn’t aware of another jurisdiction in the country that requires orientation for all new employees.

“Legislation aside, it’s just good business sense when you have a new person working for you, that you make sure they understand all the implications of what they’re doing … and what they should be doing and

Manitoba farm safety co-ordinator Jeff Shaw says employee orientation protects a farm business in the event of an accident. | ROBERT ARNASON PHOTO shouldn’t be doing.”

Blahey, who also spoke at the Young Farmers event in Portage, has preached about the value of farm safety orientation for years. He recalled a comment from several years ago when a farmer scoffed at the practicality of orientation for short-term employees.

“This gentleman, he said, ‘Glen, get real. I’m hiring the guy for four hours….

I’m not going to waste an hour talking to him about safety and being careful.

I want him to do the work.’ ” In response, Blahey asked the farmer to consider the issue from a personal perspective.

“That individual is someone’s

grandchild, it may be someone’s husband or it may be someone’s father,” Blahey said. “Would you want (orientation) for your child or your grandchild or your brother?”

Blahey said it’s important to view orientation as a benefit to the farm rather than an annoying task.

“It’s really all about business risk management,” he said. “Ensuring that you’re protecting your assets … the human capital, the people that work for you, (who) are in extremely short supply in the ag sector.”

Shaw agreed, adding the health of all farm employees, from novice to veteran, can have a major impact on the bottom line.

“So if a worker goes down, who’s going to replace that worker in a short amount of time?” he said.

“That’s a huge strain to your business, your family and other workers as well.”

Shaw said farmers often assume new employees possess the common sense required to perform agricultural tasks. However, certain things are common sense only when you’ve spent a lifetime on the farm.

“I hear the common sense myth a lot. It bugs me,” Shaw said.

“To you it is common sense…. To somebody else it’s not.”

He said it’s also important to document the orientation and any other

training on the farm. If there is an accident, investigators will want to know if and how the employee was trained.

“You want to have the proof,” he said. “You want to make sure you’re protecting your business.”

Employees need to sign a document stating the training occurred.

That sort of documentation may be tedious, but Shaw said it’s important to treat farm safety as something more than regulatory compliance.

“Paperwork alone does not solve anything."

Eggs make healthy snack, filling meal TEAM RESOURCES

In Canada, 90 percent of egg-laying hens live in cages

ggs have been vilified in the past for their cholesterol content, but in moderation there should be no concern.

They are a low calorie source of high quality protein at only 70 calories for one large egg, but they also offer more than 10 essential nutrients. Eggs are an excellent source of iron and vitamins A, D and B12.

Egg labelling confuses consumers.

What is the difference between farm fresh or natural and free range? Why does one egg contain omega 3 and the next doesn’t? Is there certification to guarantee you get what you pay for?

Only organic eggs have certification. This assures consumers that hens have been fed organic feed, given no growth hormones or antibiotics and provided with living conditions that pass animal welfare standards.

Omega 3 labelled organic eggs also confirms that hens have been fed flax.

Ninety percent of egg-laying hens in Canada are in cages. Five or more hens share a cage without nesting boxes. Eggs roll out onto conveyor belts.

Free run means chickens can move around in a barn but don’t necessarily have access to the outdoors. Free range means the hens run around outside, weather permitting.

Eggs at grading stations are received, washed, sanitized, candled, weighed, packed into containers and labelled with the federal grade. Eggs bought directly from farmers most likely won’t be sanitized.

An egg has a natural protective coating called a bloom, which seals the pores.

It is illegal in Ireland to wash Grade A hen eggs because it is claimed that bacteria can penetrate the shell if the natural protective barrier is removed.

SCOTCH EGGS Scotch eggs originated from a need for hearty travel food. I used a lean spiced pork sausage and panko bread crumbs. Use oil with a high smoke point such as canola or peanut oil.

4 eggs, boiled 3 large sausages, preferably a lean spicy Italian style 1 c. flour 250 mL 1 egg, lightly beaten 1 c. bread crumbs 250 mL frying oil Prepare the sausage by squeezing from casing and forming into four balls.

Flatten each ball into a thin patty.

Place flour, egg and bread crumbs into separate bowls.

Peel eggs and dry thoroughly. Wrap each egg in sausage and pinch so there are no holes exposing the egg. Roll in flour, then egg and finally bread crumbs.

Cook one or two at a time in oil heated to 350-375 F in a deep pot.

Turn occasionally if they are not totally submerged in oil. Fry until browned.

Remove and drain on paper towel lined plate. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Serve with ketchup, mustard or plain.

PICKLED EGGS Older eggs peel much more easily than fresh eggs. Pickled eggs are a great snack, easily sliced into a salad and can be made into devilled eggs or a sandwich.

Place eggs in jar layered with sliced raw onions. Pour hot liquid over to fill jar. Seal jar with lid.

Refrigerate for at least four days before using. Pickled eggs will keep for a month or more in the refrigerator.

Serve with slices of onion from the jar.

Immediately remove pan from heat.

With lid on, let eggs sit in hot water for 12 minutes. Drain and immediately put eggs in cold water until cooled. Crack the blunt end of the egg and then peel with a spoon.

FLORENTINE CRESPELLE In France it is a crepe, in Russia a blini and in Italy it’s a crespelle. This thin pancake replaces cannelloni noodles. Béchamel is a fancy name for white sauce.

Preheat oven to 350 F. For the crespelle, add flour, water, two eggs and salt to a blender. Puree until smooth and set aside. Add herbs.

Rest batter for 30 minutes before using.

Can be made up to a day in advance.

Heat a non-stick, lightly greased pan to medium heat and pour a 1/4 cup of batter into the centre of the pan, swirling to cover.

When the top begins to look dry, gently flip with a rubber spatula and allow to cook for 10 seconds more.

They don’t need to brown and should remain soft.

Remove from pan and lay in single layer on tea towel. Can be made up to three days in advance. Place waxed paper between each crespelle and wrap tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate.

Make béchamel sauce by adding one tablespoon (15 mL) butter to a saucepan over low heat and when melted, add one tablespoon (15 mL) flour and mix until smooth. Carefully cook for a couple of minutes, stirring constantly.

Slowly whisk in the milk until smooth and bring to a boil, whisking continuously. Cook for five minutes or until thickened. The sauce should coat the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and season with salt, pepper and if desired, a little nutmeg. Set aside.

For the filling, take the freshly blanched, drained and squeezed spinach and chop finely. It should make about 1 1/2 cups of spinach. Place in a bowl with the ricotta, one slightly beaten egg and two tablespoons (30 mL) grated cheese and mix to combine.

Spread two heaped tablespoons (30 mL) of ricotta filling down the centre of a crespelle, roll into a cigar shape and place in a greased oven proof dish, seam side down. Spoon béchamel sauce over and top with a few decorative splashes of tomato puree.

Sprinkle with a handful of grated cheese and place in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Serves four. Serve immediately.

ON THE FARM | MOVING ON BULL SALE

A whole lot of b Carlrams Ranching dishes it out | Buyers come for the Herefords, stay for the famous prime rib

CUT KNIFE, Sask. — Good food and good fellowship are key ingredients that keep people coming back year after year for the Moving On Bull Sale at Carlrams Ranching near Cut Knife. “We just enjoy the sale as being able to treat our neighbours once a year, even if they come for Randy’s good cooking. It’s a chance to socialize as much as do business,� said Cal Ramsay.

Randy Flicek, Ramsay’s son-in-law, has had the job of cooking beef on sale day since the auction went public five years ago. It’s a job he takes seriously, does well and folks relish.

“The difference between our sale and others is Randy’s prime rib,� Ramsay said with a smile. “People come for miles just to have his prime rib. When you eat that, you’ll be the happiest man in the world.�

Cooking the noon dinner for 400 hungry people is no easy feat. Flicek and Ramsay estimate each person will eat between a third and half a pound of AA prime rib, which brought their total to 350 pounds this year.

Besides a homemade spice injection, Flicek’s secret ingredient is cooking “really slow and low.� He begins the process two days ahead of the sale using the family’s smoker. It’s a skill he honed while working for a local butcher shop years ago.

eef at Ramsay bull sale Members of the Hillsvale Hutterite Colony, who are longtime neighbours and friends, also pitch in to prepare the meal for sale day. Colony women serve up potatoes, salads, baked buns and deserts for the steady line of hungry visitors.

The sale barn will be full of visiting neighbours, chatting between bites.

“The Hutterite people do the rest of the meal for us, so it’s nice, it’s wonderful food. People enjoy that and the hospitality,” Ramsay said.

“It’s not a job when you’re having your friends over.”

Ramsay and wife Marilyn represent the fifth generation on the centuryold mixed farm. Nearby land was homesteaded by Cal’s grandfather, who arrived from Prince Edward Island in 1910. The family’s descendants originally settled on the island after they were shipwrecked off its coast in 1770.

Three generations of Ramsays are now involved in the purebred registered Horned Hereford business. Son Carl, his wife, Dalynn, and children host the sale in their yard while daughter, Robin Flicek, husband Randy and their children farm near Neilburg, Sask.

Each year on sale day, Ramsay and other riders herd the 45 bulls from his yard three kilometres by road to Carl’s farm. He said nobody moves animals by horseback anymore, but it provides one last opportunity to study the years of work that go into raising bulls before they are sold.

“It’s kind of a pride because for (three kilometres) you get to look at the animals you built and designed….

The product you’re selling now started three or four years ago when you went to a sale and bought a bull,” he said.

“So you have to know what the industry is looking for, four or five years down the road. You have to be ahead of your customers.”

This year’s sale brought bidders from across Western Canada, including six Hutterite colonies in Saskatchewan and Alberta, as well as online participants from across Canada, the United States and Australia.

Maintaining friendships and extending hospitality are cornerstones that the family highly values. Family members credit the late Carl and Ruth Ramsay for instilling and exemplifying these values.

Carl, who bought a registered Prince Domino heifer in 1948, is remembered as a natural born salesperson.

“Grandma and Grandpa really started the tradition of taking care of people as best you can. They were really good host and hostess. I think that kind of got passed down,” said Robin Flicek. “I think the hospitality is the most special part of the sale.”

She said being a good neighbour and friend means working hard at building loyalty by being dependable, which her father takes seriously.

“Dad visits customers throughout the year and follows up and makes sure all the bulls are working. He travels a lot doing that,” she said.

“I think that’s where he gets his edge: repeat customers, just knowing that they are going to be well taken care of and that he is always fair. Loyalty does pay over the long term.… Having a connection for that long, that trust that’s never been broken, is kind of priceless.”

LEFT: Ramsay Flicek, 7, reacts with excitement as his bull goes up for auction and sells for $4,750. His mother, Robin, said the money goes into Ramsay’s bank account, which will later be used to buy his own livestock or go to college.

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

Canada had more than 20 tractor rollover deaths per year from 1990 to 2008.

The total rollover death count in that period was 392, which was nearly a quarter of all farm fatalities.

Tractor rollovers remain the leading cause of death on Canadian farms and the trend continues, as it does in the United States, where tractor rollovers claim an average 250 lives per year.

Ten percent of all tractor operators will experience a rollover at least once, according to data from the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health in the U.S. These figures remain constant on both sides of the border despite rollover prevention bars and cabs and education campaigns.

“Tractor rollovers have been killing people since the beginning of their use in agricultural production,” Bulent Koc, a professor at the University of Missouri, said in an email interview.

“Many farmers think they can jump out of their tractors in the event of a rollover, but this is seldom the case.

Side rollovers can occur in three quarters of a second and most people need more than one second just to react to the event.”

However, there may be at least a partial solution in sight.

Koc has developed a new smartphone application to help change those statistics. The Vehicle Rollover Prevention Education Training Em e r g e n c y R e p o r t i n g Sy s t e m (VRPETERS) app has one simple task: it alerts 911 if a tractor rolls.

VRPETERS was developed because so many tractor rollovers occur when the tractor is working far from the home yard and the operator is working alone.

Even if the operator is conscious following the accident, he may not be able to reach his radio or cellphone to

call for help. A bad accident becomes a fatal accident if help doesn’t arrive in a hurry.

The VRPETERS app uses the GPS capability built into smartphones, along with sensors that detect a rollover. The accident data is processed the moment it happens, and VRPETERS immediately sends family and emergency responders a series of emergency emails and phone messages that include the exact co-ordinates of the accident scene.

Koc said farmers have their smartphones with them almost 24 hours a day, so it was logical to use it to convey an emergency message rather than build a new device.

Many smartphones have sensors that can be used to help determine the geometry of the phone. If it is upside down, the VRPETERS app and the phone’s can instantly figure out what happened.

For smartphones not equipped for geometry perception, Koc developed external sensors that are mounted to the tractor. Data from these sensors are transmitted to the phone via Bluetooth.

VRPETERS also has an early warning that signals the tractor operator if he is getting close to the point of rolling over. The sensors are there anyway, in both types of systems, and they’re taking continuous geometry readings, so it was not difficult to include the early warning feature.

“This device helps calculate the stability characteristics of the tractor and will provide a warning to the driver when the tractor approaches its rollover point.”

Koc said the app won’t trigger a false alarm if the operator drops his phone and it lands upside down.

“A false alarm would cause too much trouble and would cause people to lose confidence in the system,” he said.

Both types of systems have failsafes to prevent human error from triggering a false alarm.

“If the operator uses the sensors already in the smartphone, the VRPETERS app can’t be activated unless the smartphone is securely mounted in a dashboard mounting case to prevent false alarms. It will only allow the alarm to be sent if the tractor is upset,” he said.

“It’s similar in the system with external sensors located on the tractor. Those sensors only trigger an alarm signal when the tractor is upset. In both systems, it depends on the position of the tractor.”

Koc said the same fail-safe systems are used when VRPETERS is mounted on construction vehicles, trucks, snowmobiles, military vehicles, all-

terrain vehicles and riding lawnmowers. He said it’s an excellent safety investment for people who mow or spray ditches.

VRPETERS works on iPhones and iPads, and Koc said he is expanding it to other smartphone systems. He expects to release the beta version in April. The app download will cost less than $20.

Koc has designed another device to be used in conjunction with VRPETERS, which is used as a backup to stream data to a smart phone or tablet. It allows fleet managers to obtain real time data on the location and operation of machines in the field.

ALWAYS WEAR A SEAT BELT

» The rollover prevention bar on

cabless tractors can save your life, but only if your seat belt is fastened. The seatbelt will hold you in the seat if the tractor flips upside down. If you are not wearing a seat belt, there’s a good chance you could be pinned and possibly crushed by the bar if the tractor rolls.

Air ambulance serves farmers STARS active on Prairies | Half the helicopter service’s missions are farm accidents WINNIPEG BUREAU

BRANDON — Half of the STARS helicopter ambulance missions on the Prairies are farm accidents.

The other half are highway or industrial accidents, many of which involve farm families, says Troy Pauls, a flight paramedic with Manitoba STARS. “STARS doesn’t serve urban centres.

We’re based in Winnipeg, but we operate exclusively in rural areas, so it’s natural that many of the highway and industrial accidents we attend involve farmers and their families,” Pauls said.

“The farm missions we fly involve falls from high structures, people caught in machinery and tractor accidents.

These are all serious accidents. We’re airborne within eight minutes from the time we receive a call, and we’re compliant with that criteria 100 percent of the time.”

Pauls said the STARS helicopter typically reaches an accident site in less than half the time it takes a ground ambulance to reach the site.

The times are even better in more remote areas that are further from a ground ambulance or that don’t have direct road connections.

“We always try to land right at the accident site. We can get into some pretty tight spaces,” he said.

“Even in forests and wooded areas, we find places to land our helicopters. If we can’t land right at the accident site, rural fire departments and first responders often direct us to a good spot close to the site.”

STARS (Shock Trauma Air Rescue Society) is a non-profit organization founded to bring helicopter ambulance services to rural areas. Funding comes from corporate and private donations, provincial and municipal grants and fundraising activities.

It operates six helicopter ambulances on the Prairies, based in Grand Prairie, Alta., Edmonton, Calgary, Saskatoon, Regina and Winnipeg, although the Manitoba operation has been suspended by the province after safety and training concerns were raised.

In 2013 there were 1,688 missions in Alberta, 821 missions in Saskatchewan and 177 missions in Manitoba.

The Manitoba government grounded the STARS ambulance late last year.

A STARS success story: • Read how a Manitoba boy was air lifted and revived in hospital after falling into an icy creek.

In the spring of 1947, when I was 16, I cheated death three times, or at least escaped debilitating injury.

It was my job to do the discing, harrowing and root picking. My parents had separated six years earlier and mother was left on the farm with eight children between the ages of 16 and three months.

When father left, the farm was deep in debt to the mortgage company and unpaid taxes. Both the mortgage company and the county taxation office wanted to confiscate the farm to recover their debts.

Fortunately, our local ML A stepped in and arranged to have the debts consolidated into one yearly payment, and mother promised to meet that payment every year.

So we were all able to stay together on the farm.

Since I had quit school, it was decided that I would help with the farm work.

Two of my older brothers found other work because there was no future for them on the farm. My oldest brother, who had a farm of his own, agreed to do the plowing and seeding and I was chosen to do the rest.

To do my share

of the spring work, I had to look after my own horses. I was only five foot two and could barely see over their backs. Also, I was terrified of the horses’ hind legs, so I would talk a blue streak whenever I worked with them.

My biggest challenge was when I tried to put on their collars. They would toss their heads up high, and I was unable to buckle the collars while standing on the floor, so I climbed up on the manger to do that job.

My first brush with death occurred while discing our last 12 acres. Our farm had the biggest poplar trees in the county, with the biggest stumps and roots that went on forever.

It was assumed that all the stumps had been removed, but there is always one that gets left, and I found it.

I was perched on the bare, rounded, metal seat located over the centre of the two sets of discs without protection of any kind.

It was a boring job and I often indulged in my propensity to daydream, but this time I had a rude awakening.

The disc went over the hidden stump at its centre. The seat rose up and I fell over on my right side with my right leg caught between two discs. The horses continued moving, dragging me along until the reins wrapped around the metal connection between two discs and the horses stopped.

I wasn’t hurt, but when I tried to free the reins I couldn’t, so I got my brother, who was seeding in another part of the farm, to help me.

Neither of us ever told mother.

What if I had fallen forward?

My second brush with death came on that same 12 acres.

One of my younger brothers and I were picking roots. We used my oldest brother’s pair of greys, Lady and Colonel. Lady was ticklish, hated women and was a hard

worker, while Colonel was inclined to be lazy.

Lady was hitched to the right side of the wagon and after we finished picking roots in one area, I would m o v e t h e t e a m u p. I a l w a y s dropped the reins on Lady’s side when we stopped to pick the roots on either side of the wagon and was always careful to pick up the reins a good distance from her when we were ready to move on.

Once without thinking, I came too close to her and grazed her right flank with my left hand finger tips. Lady raised her leg, planted her hoof on my right thigh and tossed me through the air a good 10 yards.

I landed in the dirt and my brother, horrified at what he had just witnessed, kept saying, “shall I get help? Shall I get help?”

I wasn’t hurt, just mad, and I made sure Lady carried the load for the rest of the day.

Neither of us ever told mother.

The third time came in July when I was harrowing the summerfallow. Again, Lady was one of the horses I used. Fortunately, she was hitched to the outside on the right.

However, she was in heat and when the time came to stop for dinner and I tried to unhook her traces from the harrows, she lashed out and tried to bite me.

So I went around to the other side and unhooked the other three horses. When I got to Lady, I hid behind a horse named Sam and undid her left trace, dropping it on the ground.

I moved the horses around as far as Lady’s right trace would go and unhooked it. We went home with Lady’s traces dragging along behind her.

When we got to the farmyard, Mother realized I had a problem.

Using Sam for protection, she was able to tie Lady to the pig pen fence with her halter rope while I hung onto the reins. And there Lady stood, in full harness, on that long, hot afternoon.

That evening, one of my older brothers came home and took care of Lady.

This time I didn’t have to tell mother.

SPECIAL REPORT

Extreme cold, a huge harvest, growth in crude oil shipments and a lack of rail co-ordination are blamed for derailing grain movement to port this year. | BRIAN CROSS PHOTO

clogged:

LOGISTICS LEAVE FARMERS IN THE COLD

What are the reasons for the grain transportation shortfall this year? Is unusually cold weather the cause, as the railways say? What role does increased movement of crude oil by rail play? Is there enough rail capacity after Canadian Pacific Railway made big staff cuts and reduced its locomotive fleet? Has grain movement suffered since CWB lost its role? Western Producer reporter Brian Cross looks at the explanations and allegations that have made this the hottest topic of the winter.

S

eldom welcomed and often cursed for his stubbornness, Old Man Winter is being vilified this year for causing transportation tie-ups that could cost the Canadian grain industry hundreds of millions of dollars.

With the winter of 2013-14 shaping up to be one of the coldest on record in Western Canada, the country’s major railway companies continue to point to frigid temperatures as the main factor behind a system-wide slowdown in grain shipments.

But frustrated grain producers across the Prairies are not convinced that cold weather is anything more than a convenient excuse.

Other factors are just as much to blame, they say, including a huge increase in the amount of crude oil being shipped by rail, a lack of logistical co-ordination at all points in

the supply chain and an ineffective regulatory regime that doesn’t hold railway companies accountable for poor performance.

In Ottawa, meanwhile, calls grew louder last week for the federal government to take immediate steps to require that Canada’s highly profitable railway companies provide better service to grain shippers and farmers, many of whom are amassing huge costs because of their inability to ship and sell grain.

“The issue of the extreme cold weather has impeded CN’s network capacity,” said Mark Hallman, director of communications with Canadian National Railway.

“This has significantly impacted CN’s operations, not just for grain but for everything we move. It affects our entire book of business.”

Hunter Harrison, president of

Canadian Pacific Railway, offered a similar explanation when asked about grain movement during a recent presentation to the Calgary Chamber of Commerce.

“Has anybody been out in the weather recently?” Harrison said.

“You cannot run a train down the side of a mountain at 40 below safely.

We’re not going to push that envelope. We’ve got a lot of employees that have had frostbite from getting out in this weather.… When the weather gets like that with an air brake system, your capacity is virtually cut in half.”

A locomotive engineer and longtime employee with one of Canada’s Class 1 railway companies, who didn’t want to be identified, said weather has definitely affected train movements this winter.

In the railroad industry, tempera-

tures below -20 C or -25 C usually mean delays in rail yards, shorter trains and a greater risk of mechanical problems.

However, the engineer said frigid temperatures are not the only factor affecting grain traffic this winter.

The composition of trains travelling across the Prairies has also changed significantly.

In the past few years, trains departing from the yard where the engineer works have carried more intermodal containers, more crude, more potash and “more of everything,” he said.

“That’s one of the problems in the operation right now is we have too much traffic and not enough infrastructure.”

He said CN and CP have seen major operational changes during the past decade.

The number of trains has decreased, train lengths have increased and workforce numbers at both railways have been reduced.

One of Harrison’s first major initiatives when he took over as CP president in 2012 was to cut the railway’s workforce by 4,500 employees, a reduction of nearly 25 percent over four years.

At CN, many of the smaller railway sidings in Western Canada have been

torn up to accommodate larger trains and remaining sidings have been expanded.

Have those changes resulted in greater efficiency on Canada’s railway network?

The locomotive engineer is not sure.

What is certain, however, is that the railway business is booming.

In the 20-odd years that he has been driving trains, the hours have never been longer, the workload has never been heavier and railway revenues have never been higher.

Last year, both of Canada’s major railway companies reported record revenues.

CP reported year-end revenues of $6.1 billion, up eight percent from 2012. Freight revenue from grain at CP was $1.3 billion, up 11 percent from the previous year.

CN also reported record revenues of nearly $10.6 billion in 2013, including $1.6 billion from grain.

Although many business segments have contributed to the railways’ impressive revenue growth, oil and gas business is taking much of the blame for poor grain movement.

NEWS » CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE ern Canadian rail car loadings of fuel oil and crude petroleum at Canada’s major railway companies increased to an average of nearly 9,300 cars per month in 2013, up from 2,800 per month in 2009.

“We’ve seen a (huge) growth in oil containers,” the locomotive engineer said.

“Today, we have solid oil trains, moving nothing but oil. And we have mixed trains with a lot of oil in them. Ten years ago, we would have never seen that.”

However, railway officials reject suggestions that increased crude shipments are hurting grain movement on the Prairies.

“The notion that CN’s crude by rail business is displacing grain on the company’s rail network has no merit,” said Hallman in an email.

“CN’s crude oil car loadings in 2013 accounted for less than two percent of the company’s total freight volumes, and CN has ample network capacity in normal weather conditions to move all commodities efficiently, including grain.”

However, according to some grain producers and shippers, movement of crude and other cargoes that support the oil and gas industry have all but displaced shipments of prairie grain through eastern and southern rail corridors.

In some communities in southeastern Saskatchewan, oil trains run daily while producers wait weeks for empty hopper cars to be spotted.

In those areas, the prospects of moving grain are not likely to improve soon.

Last week, during a meeting with federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz in Winnipeg, officials with CN and CP said they are not inclined to haul western Canadian grain to eastern and southern destinations.

Instead, the vast majority of the prairie grain will continue to move west to port locations at Vancouver and Prince Rupert.

“They (the railways) have told grain companies that they’re not going to entertain anything, in the next short time, that goes to the U.S. or Thunder Bay,” Ritz said.

That’s bad news for all grain growers, but particularly those in Manitoba and eastern Saskatchewan.

BIG RAIL, BIG BUSINESS Business is booming in Canada’s railway industry. Western Canadian car loadings of most major commodities, including fuel and crude, potash, coal, canola and lumber are up. Demand from Western Canada’s disgruntled grain industry is also expected to be strong throughout 2014 and into 2015. Both of Canada’s major railway companies reported record revenues in 2013.

Number of rail cars loaded, by major commodity type (in 000s)

To ensure that hopper cars are cycled more quickly, much of the grain that is shipped to the West Coast will likely be sourced from Alberta and western Saskatchewan, which are closest to Pacific Ocean terminals.

“Both railways are putting more assets into the shorter cycle-time elevators, which will be at the expense of eastern Saskatchewan and Manitoba,” said Keith Bruch, vice-president of operations at Paterson Global Foods.

“There’s prioritization on western elevators to Vancouver.”

Despite mounting frustration among farmers and grain companies, there is little to suggest that demand for railway capacity from Canada’s agricultural sector will soften.

In conference calls with investors last month, executives from each railway company said demand from the grain industry should be strong and steady throughout 2014.

“When I look at the outlook for grain, I think that we’re going to move grain more consistently,” said Jane O’Hagan, CP’s chief marketing officer.

“I think it’s going to be one of the crop years where we don’t have the peakiness that we’ve had in the past. We’ll probably have some large carryover, and with an average crop (in 2014), we’re going to see strong movement throughout the year.”

Added CN president Claude Mongeau: “We have a huge crop, and things are looking good for the balance of the year and probably well into 2015.”

Supply chain solutions In a year like this, it’s easy to find flaws in Canada’s grain handling and transportation system. The challenge facing the grain industry is to identify solutions that are amenable to all partners in the supply chain, including farmers, grain companies, railway companies and end-users.

TRANSPORTATION | CWB

Are transportation woes linked to the end of CWB’s single desk?

A

former farmer-elected CWB director says the elimination of single desk marketing is largely responsible for the logistical nightmare that has paralyzed the western Canadian grain industry this winter.

Kyle Korneychuk, a long-time supporter of single desk marketing, said it’s time for federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz to own up to the fact that scrapping the wheat board’s marketing powers is largely responsible for what he called a “multibillion-dollar wreck.”

Korneychuk, who farms near Pelly, Sask., said the best way to solve Western Canada’s transportation problems is to “reverse the destruction of the farmer controlled Canadian Wheat Board.”

“Orderly marketing and the single desk wheat board addressed our disadvantages of distance, a constrained transportation system and competition from other often heavily subsidized nations,” Korneychuk said in a Feb. 26 news release.

“It is time to give farmers back democratic control of their grain marketing, since the private trade has failed completely.”

Others in the grain sector and the railways disagree that this year’s transportation problems are largely the result of the demise of the single desk.

Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association president Levi Wood recently told the House of Commons agriculture committee that the lack of CWB co-ordination has not been a factor.

“I would suggest that the Canadian Wheat Board not being involved has had zero effect on the backlog,” he said.

John Heimbecker, a director of Pulse Canada, told the committee that rail performance problems are not new, and there were many instances when CWB was forced to pay demurrage on waiting vessels.

David Miller, assistant vice-president for government affairs with Canadian National Railway, told the committee

CWB might have had a better handle on the capacity of the railways.

“The only area where I suppose there has been a bit of a challenge is that the board recognized the limitations of the system in terms of what realistically could be moved — in the first three months of the year after harvest, for example — and therefore tried to space their sales out through the year to recognize that reality,” he said.

“When you have a number of companies competing, obviously everybody wants to move as much crop as they can, as fast as they can. Clearly the pressures are on us in the first three months of the year.”

Fifty vessels are waiting for grain on the West Coast, and some estimate that demurrage charges are accruing at more than half a million dollars a day.

Single desk supporters say grain companies operating in the deregulated market tried to squeeze too much grain too soon through a handling system that has serious constraints.

Korneychuk said farmers view efforts by provincial and federal politicians to solve the grain transportation crisis as “pathetic.”

Legislative efforts to improve rail service through the Fair Rail Freight Service Act have had little impact, he added.

As well, he said grain companies and inland terminals don’t have as much negotiating power as the single desk wheat board did in negotiations with the railways.

Korneychuk dismissed suggestions

by Saskatchewan highways and infrastructure minister Don McMorris that farmers negotiate contracts with grain companies with reciprocal financial penalties.

“Most farmers already attempt to negotiate such contracts, but farmers will always be at a disadvantage when doing so,” he said. “Farmers wanting to haul to that elevator in the future will think twice or three times before taking that company to court.”

“Why should you pay a grain marketing advisor when there seems to be so many other places your money is needed?”

THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | MARCH 6, 2014

Let Us Ride Shotgun With You That pleasant, easy, summertime journey of the past four years is at an end.

Today’s commodity markets require all the vigilance, planning and caution of a winter’s drive. Take risk out of the journey — and off the table — by inviting a grain marketing advisor along for the ride.

With the canola and wheat markets the way they are now, it’s more like embarking on a wintertime journey. As you know, winter driving requires planning ahead, the likelihood of making an error is greater, and the consequences more serious. Now is the time to be extra vigilant.

These are turbulent times. For some of you, prices have fallen so far you feel you’re close to break-even levels, and paying for grain marketing advice now could take you below those levels. This is an understandable reaction. However, this is the time you’re at greatest risk and in need of help — the likelihood of making a mistake, and its consequences, are far greater during market downturns than when markets are good.

Why should you pay a grain marketing advisor when there seems to be so many other places your money is needed? First of all, a good advisor will force you to have a grain marketing plan. You and your advisor will craft this plan during a time when emotional biases will not influence your decisions.

Let me explain by drawing an analogy: when you set out on a summertime drive, you worry about some pretty minor things as you embark. Along the way, if you change your plan, the consequences of that detour are pretty insignificant. Generally the journey is simple, it’s usually desirable, and it’s one you choose to make. This easy and carefree summertime drive is the journey commodity markets have taken us on for the past four years.

A good advisor is also looking out for you all along, watching the markets on your behalf. This person alerts you to events you should be paying attention to, whether it’s an opportunity to sell because something favourable has happened in the market or something you should deal with proactively.

Your advisor should be there riding shotgun with you to give you some peace of mind so you don’t have to fret about the markets. To read the complete story, visit asktheexpertnetwork.ca.

GRAIN MARKETING | KNOWING WHEN TO SELL

Farmers urged to sell now as price drop looms U.S. producers hanging onto crops | Market analysts say dropping prices will likely only get worse this year

BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — U.S. farmers who are hanging onto some of last year’s crop in hopes of higher cash prices later this year should think again.

“I am suggesting that this might not be the right strategy and you may end up getting caught with lower priced corn this summer,” said Bob Utterback, an Indiana economist and columnist for Farm Journal in the United States.

Utterback said there is typically a psychology when commodity prices fall quickly that “you couldn’t possibly sell at this $4 price. You didn’t sell at $7 and it went to $8 only a year or so ago. This is still $7 or $8 corn. This wheat is really still worth $8. Well, it’s not, and it won’t be any again anytime soon.”

Farmers have done well over the past 40 years to hold some of their grain and market in the late spring and summer when there have typically been rallies in the markets.

However, the supply and demand

fundamentals of the current market point to lower prices because of good supplies of corn, wheat and soybeans and low new crop prices off the combine.

Utterback told the recent National Farm Machinery Show in Louisville, Kentucky, that farmers should be moving their large remaining grain and oilseed stocks into the supply chain now and contracting production or buying futures positions, which will allow them to pencil in a profit for this year’s crop.

He said American growers should

look at low to mid $4 corn, $11.20 to $11.60 per bushel soybeans and higher than $5 wheat as target prices.

Spring planting is still a few months away, even in the southern and midwestern United States.

Utterback said farmers are telling him they plan to stick close to their rotational plans for corn and soybeans this year, despite market signals that they should plant more soybeans and less corn.

He said that means another 93 million acres of corn will go in the ground. Assuming an average pro-

duction year, it will likely spell lower corn prices for 2015.

Utterback predicts a near record harvest of soybeans worldwide, but the markets still support prices that are higher than what he feels might be warranted.

Soybean supplies in previous record production years have been fully absorbed by demand from China and developing nations.

However, Utterback sees some of that demand cooling, especially if growth rates in China level off at about seven percent.

“They really need eight or nine percent growth to keep growing the economy fast enough to support the exodus from the country to cities of their citizens,” he said.

That growth in the working classes is driving demand for soybean oil and eating up supply.

However, he thinks it won’t take much of a demand hiccup to generate a high carryout of soybeans, which would result in prices of $9 per bushel in North America, at or near the costs of production.

Utterback said new crop beans off the combine will bring about $9.50 and corn around $4, even with strong buying.

“There will be some wide basis out there at harvest,” he said.

Ken Smith, who farms in southern Indiana, said he is storing corn and soybeans on his 2,600 acre farm.

“I’m going home to truck grain. I was holding on, like most of my neighbours, hoping that if we held out long enough, the ethanol companies would begin to hurt and need the corn at a little higher price. I think I’ll clean out now, before everybody gets the message and starts to sell at once,” he said.

“I’m still covering my cash costs, but some of my rented ground is over $350 (per acre), and I am thinking that might not work out well, for me or the landowner.… Farm a little less or share some of the new reality for a few years until we see some better margins at the farmgate.”

Greg Smith, who farms 3,000 acres of row crops near Cummings, Kansas, said he also plans to lower costs but will stick to his rotations and position his marketing so that he can pencil in a profit for 2014-15.

“It will be tighter, but we will try to grow more bushels and keep our costs down,” he said.

“I am ordering a new planter, but I hope that will help me seed faster and get the crop in when it can get the best start and yield more as a result.

More bushels at the same cost is the answer for me, for now.”

POULTRY | RESEARCH

Poultry sector funds target environment, sustainability Money will also be used to develop new vaccines

BY MELANIE EPP FREELANCE WRITER

The national poultry research cluster will receive $4 million in federal funding and $1.6 million from the poultry sector.

The funding is meant to help keep the poultry industry competitive and address concerns about animal welfare and environmental preservation.

In announcing the funding, federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz said researchers will mainly use it to reduce the industry’s environmental footprint and develop new vaccines.

Most of the funding will go to University of Guelph researchers in Guelph, Ont., from the Ontario Agricultural College, the Ontario Veterinary College and the College of Physical and Engineering Science.

They will receive $3.1 million to support seven of the 17 poultry studies that are planned.

OAC dean Robert Gordon said the research will help enhance the training of qualified personnel.

“This will include providing new approaches to enhance the sustainability of poultry production systems, evaluating new technology and feeding systems that will reduce our cost of production and also create new innovations in supporting poultry health.”

Gordon said many of the U of G researchers will provide leadership to the cluster: • Tina Widowski, the egg farmers of Canada chair in poultry welfare and behaviour, is assessing the influence of rearing and housing of different strains of parent stock on offspring phenotypes in laying hens.

• Alexandra Harlander of the university’s animal and poultry science department is leading projects to assess the development of flight and locomotion in laying hens, as well as the impact of ammonia concentrations on the welfare of laying hens.

• Gregoy Bédécarrats of the university’s animal and poultry science department, is studying a new LED lighting system designed for the egg-laying industry.

• Ben Wood, an adjunct professor at the U of G, will study the genetic relationships between feed efficiency, production traits and greenhouse gas emissions in turkey production systems.

Poultry Industry Council executive director Keith Robbins said the funding will help ensure the industry’s long-term competitiveness.

“This announcement is great news and reflects the government’s commitment to the poultry sector,” he said.

The poultry cluster is one of 10 national agri-science clusters to be funded by the Growing Canadian Agri-Innovations Program.

ers, principal of the Agriprocity trading service, told the CropConnect conference Feb. 19.

“We’re really good at showing ourselves to be a great place to do business because things don’t change dramatically.”

Rogers said buyers from food-deficit areas such as the Persian Gulf value nothing more highly than a dependable source of food. The last thing they want to see from crucial suppliers is the sort of turmoil they are seeing in Ukraine and Russia.

“There’s a lot of instability in those markets,” said Rogers, Canada’s former agriculture trade commissioner in Dubai.

“Those are big (trading) partners for the United Arab Emirates and Gulf importers. It means opportunities for Canada for the next five, 10 years because there’s less transparency, less opportunity to do real, true business (with countries like Ukraine and Russia.)”

Rogers said the main opportunity for Canadian farmers and agricultural exporters is in unprocessed crops rather than processed goods.

Countries such as Dubai are determined to do most of their own processing and can do it more effectively than buying processed food from Canada, she added.

“It’s cheaper to process in the country and bring in the raw product.”

Rogers said the demand in these markets is steady and dependable, which is good news for prairie farmers.

“It’s an industry that’s not going away,” she said. “It’s there to stay and they have long, long-term plans for expansion and development, and they are servicing the region from the UAE (United Arab Emirates).”

Rogers said the region’s businesses are important packagers and resellers, using connections and networks to get product into places most Canadian exporters would have trouble accessing directly.

“What they’re really great at doing in pulse (marketing) is just adding a very minimal value and re-exporting,” she said.

UAE processors do more intense value-adding with canola, breaking the crop out for multiple markets and users. It means they are a good market not just for top quality seed but also other qualities that can reach other buyers.

Vibrant markets exist for livestock feed, food oil and biofuel stocks, “which is great for a Canadian farmer because they take all kinds of grade, they take all sorts of product and they’ve done a lot of education in the market for us.”

The UAE and Persian Gulf nations don’t grow some of the crops that Canada exports, which Rogers said provides permanent demand. The governments there are keenly aware of their import dependency, so they encourage good relationships with food exporting nations such as Canada.

And with the population in the Middle East expected to double to about one billion people in coming decades, there is no reason to expect demand to fall, she added.

Alberta group quits national chicken producers association Quota allocation challenge | Alberta Chicken Producers says group will determine its own quota and work with processors independently

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

RED DEER — Alberta Chicken Producers have parted ways with their national organization.

An ongoing dispute over quota allocation prompted the provincial organization to serve notice it was out of the national system as of Feb. 22.

“It is with great disappointment that despite all the efforts we have been unsuccessful in finding a longterm sustainable national allocation agreement that 10 provinces can support,” said David Hyink, the

Alberta director to Chicken Farmers of Canada.

Alberta Chicken Producers will determine its own allocation and will work with processors on its own.

Where possible the Alberta group will work with the national organization on issues like food safety and animal welfare.

“It is a new reality and we are in a period of time where we would rather not have this unreliability and uncertainty facing us,” Hyink said at the Alberta Chicken annual meeting in Red Deer Feb. 25.

He suggested the Farm Products Council of Canada and provincial

ma rke t i n g c o u n c i l s m i g ht g e t involved because farmers could not agree on how their system should work.

“The status quo is not working. We need to find a way where it is not just up to a board membership to decide if a province gets more allocation,” said Hyink.

Alberta wanted three percent more quota allocation and Ontario has asked for six percent in a dispute going back to 2007. Both want more based on population growths in their provinces.

British Columbia has also requested more quota to meet growing

specialty markets.

Five new proposals to allow different quota allocations among the provinces has come to the national table, but ever y time someone objected, said David Janzen, poultry producer from Abbotsford, B.C., and chair of Chicken Farmers of Canada.

“We need to find the great Canadian chicken compromise,” he said.

Population growth, market growth, processing capacity, expansion capabilities and environmental and biosafety concerns are among the factors considered when allowing

production increases.

Since 2007, production on farms has grown by five percent to meet natural population increases.

The Alberta Chicken Producers decision raises questions about the validity of supply management, the system that regulates chicken through production quotas and high import tariffs.

“Supply management is our risk management program but if we want to put the system at risk for one extra chicken, we need to understand that we are not putting our growth at risk but all of our production,” he said.

RED DEER — Chicken imports are increasing in Canada, and the number of spent fowl coming into the country is a particular concern.

“Spent fowl (old breeding birds and laying hens) imports have ramped up significantly since 2009 and in fact in the last two years, they have increased to 100 million kilograms each year,” said Mike Dungate, executive director of Chicken Farmers of Canada.

“That is 10 percent of the market you don’t have,” he said at the Alberta Chicken Farmers annual meeting in Red Deer Feb. 25.

Under trade agreements, Canada allows access for 7.5 percent of the previous year’s domestic chicken production under the tariff rate quota system. Spent fowl from the United States arrives duty free.

Canada differentiates between broiler meat and spent fowl, but the U.S. does not.

Breasts from broilers and mature birds may be packaged together and labelled as meat from spent fowl and arrives duty free. The blend can be 51 percent spent fowl to 49 percent broiler meat. Rather than being used for further processing such as nuggets or patties, the spent fowl meat could be sold as fresh chicken breasts and consumers do not know.

“If that isn’t a clear indication of fraud that people are importing broiler chicken and calling it spent fowl, I don’t know what is,” Dungate said.

Chicken Farmers of Canada commissioned the George Morris Centre to study the matter last year. It found Canada imported 106 million kg of spent fowl, which displaced 10 percent of Canadian chicken in 2012.

The study estimated that imports will increase each year.

Another problem is that the numbers do not add up. The centre said Canada imported spent fowl meat representing 101 percent of U.S. spent fowl production in 2012 and 109 percent in the first half of 2013.

“This clearly points to the fact that chicken meat is being imported and declared as spent fowl in order to bypass import controls,” said the report.

SPECIES AT RISK | GREATER SAGE GROUSE

Protection order sparks fear among ra Species At Risk | The emergency order restricts activities on provincial and federal crown land to protect sage grouse habitat

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

RED DEER — Ronda Reesor was never one to get involved in causes.

However, when an emergency order for the protection of the greater sage grouse included some of her ranch, she was compelled to speak.

The federal government order under the Species at Risk Act was issued in December and went into effect in February.

It covers 1,700 sq. kilometres in southeastern Alberta and southwestern Saskatchewan.

Reesor, who ranches with her husband,Keith, in the Cypress Hills, fears the order sets a dangerous precedent and could affect landowners across the country if endangered species are found on their property.

She and other ranchers such as James Hargrave want a voluntary approach to preserving the dwindling number of birds.

It is believed that 138 birds live in a small region of southeastern Alberta and southwestern Saskatchewan.

“This will set a precedent for legal action for different species at risk,” Hargrave said in an interview after the Western Stock Growers Association annual meeting in Red Deer Feb. 19.

“We wanted to take a collaborative approach and work with Alberta Wilderness Association and work with like minded conservation groups to come up with a voluntary recovery plan or a plan that had incentives for producers to continue doing what they are doing and provide functional habitats and ecosystems.”

Reesor said the area is probably on the edge of the birds’ natural habitat because there are large numbers in the United States.

“We are on the very fringe of the population, and we are on the very fringe of the sage brush habitat,” she said.

She does not accept habitat loss as the primary reason the birds are disappearing. The greater threats to the birds are predators such as coyotes and hawks and diseases such as West Nile virus, she added.

Hargrave believes the federal government came under pressure and agreed to the emergency protection order when conservation groups, took the issue to court. A federal

LARRY SEARS ALBERTA RANCHER

court judge ruled that government cannot ignore the critical habitat needs of species at risk.

The city of Medicine Hat and LGX Oil and Gas have filed a court application to force the federal government to stop or suspend its emergency order, saying it did not sufficiently consult industry and other stakeholders.

Rancher Larry Sears of Stavely, Alta., said he thinks the order is a trial balloon and foresees more land coming under protective orders.

“They are going to see what they can get away with on this one and they deliberately chose a sparsely populated area because they didn’t think there would be much in the way of repercussions or pushback,” said Sears.

The emergency order imposes restrictions to protect the sage grouse and its habitat on provincial and federal crown lands, but it is not expected to restrict activities on private land or grazing on provincial or federal crown lands.

In January, a symposium at the Calgary Zoo discussed the potential extinction of the sage grouse. At the symposium, Leona Aglukkaq, federal minister for development of the north, announced $2.1 million for the zoo’s new captive breeding and rearing program for the grouse. It will be the first time the bird will be bred and raised in captivity in Canada.

The program will cost $5 million over 10 years.

Axel Moehrenschlager, head of the zoo’s centre for conservation research, said the wild population is likely to be extinct in Canada within two to five years so action is needed immediately.

breeding program for endangered species that has participated in breeding whooping cranes and Vancouver Island marmots.

The program is the only one of its kind in Canada.

The centre is being retrofitted to meet the needs of sage grouse.

The birds could be bred in captivity and then slowly reintroduced back to their habitat.

“The situation with the greater sage grouse is one where we need to be very careful, collaborative and deliberate and use science to figure out what strategies are working and not working so we can adapt our practices over time,” Moehrenschlager said in an interview.

They need to maintain genetic diversity that is representative of the wild population.

The birds would not be released if conditions were unsuitable.

“Habitat protection is the key for this species as it is for many others.”

The zoo has considered different options for obtaining eggs or birds, including Montana. The state has sent birds to Alberta in the past and releases were done, but many of the young did not survive.

“The birds did not do that badly but the nest survival is poor,” he said.

Moehrenschlager is familiar with the area as a rancher and conservationist. He was involved with the swift fox recovery program in southeastern Alberta and supports community based conservation in which local people can be involved.

Antibiotic reduction will address fear of resistance Could affect trade | ‘Status quo is not an option,’ swine specialist warns producers

Hog producers have been told that decreased antibiotic use is inevitable. |

RIDGETOWN, Ont. — There are two reasons Canadian pork producers should reduce their use of antibiotics, according to a speaker at the Southwestern Pork Conference Feb. 20.

If it doesn’t happen, it’s likely to become a trade issue with the European Union, skewing expectations for increased pork exports under the Canada-EU trade agreement, said Ernest Sanford, swine specialist with

More important, however, is the efficacy of the medications.

“Above all else, we need to conserve our antibiotics so that we can treat animals. That’s our concern. The status quo is not an option,” Sandford said.

“We don’t expect the pharmaceutical companies to produce many new antibiotics. We had our run from about 1950 to the end of the 20th century.”

However, Sanford said there is evidence that reduced use helps address the resistance issue. Bacterial resistance to antibodies is a concern for both livestock and the human population.

Sanford said bacterial cross-resistance from animals to humans is real problem, but it’s been overstated.

While it may be true that 80 percent of the antibiotics used in North America are used to treat animals, only 18 per cent of those are of concern to human medicine.

“Fifty percent of the antibiotics doctors prescribed to people are not needed at all,” he said.

“That does not exonerate us but it gives some insight into the matter.

We cannot count on this argument so we need to put our house in order.”

ERNEST SANFORD SWINE SPECIALIST

Sanford said the European Union’s experience shows antibiotic use can be reduced without seriously affecting production.

Sweden banned antimicrobial growth promoters in 1986, and the EU followed suit 10 years ago. Some EU member countries are now introducing programs to also reduce the therapeutic use of antibiotics.

Sandford said the Canada-EU trade agreement, signed in principal last fall, in intended to increase trade between Canada and the world’s largest economy, including $400 million in beef and pork sales.

“The projection is it will add $20 to a Canadian hog.”

Sanford cautioned that the deal needs to be cleared by Canada’s provinces and territories and the 28 EU member states.

“A deal is a least two years away and it could be longer,” he said.

China is an even bigger influence on hog production.

Companies from China have been buying land and livestock facilities around the world, including the $7.1 billion purchase of Smithfield Foods in the United States.

That is expected to continue.

“If we’re talking about pork, we’re talking about China. Half the world’s hogs are produced in China and half all pork is consumed in China,” Sanford said.

“Pork is such a big issue there because if they do not have pork to buy and eat, there would literally be riots in the streets.”

MANITOBA SWINE SEMINAR | FEED

Pigs on fibre less aggressive Satisfied sows | In an open housing system producers need to keep sows passive

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Fibre could become more popular in open housing gestating sow systems, says a Prairie Swine Centre researcher.

Hog nutrition researchers have long known about fibre’s pacifying influence, but open housing systems make passivity and restfulness more important.

“It’s a lot more expensive for them to stand around than for other animals,” Denise Beaulieu said during the Manitoba Swine Seminar.

She said producers can protect their sows’ health, maintain body condition and reduce energy consumption by preventing fighting and increasing the amount of time their animals lie down.

High fibre diets seem to make sows less aggressive and more willing to lie down, she added.

It was never a major issue in gesta-

tion stall systems because sows in stalls can’t fight or burn up lots of energy rooting around.

However, pigs in an open housing system can fight and walk around a lot, which requires more energy.

Beaulieu said finding ways to keep sows quiet and restful will produce better results, and fibre tends to produce a satisfied sow.

The move from stalls to group housing affects many elements of nutrition, so researchers at the Prairie Swine Centre are assessing how various systems and approaches interact with feed.

For instance, sows will use more energy in an open housing system if they stand and move around more.

However, sows in an open-housed situation can also huddle together for warmth, either allowing the barn temperature to be reduced or energy intake to drop.

“The challenge is maintaining body condition,” said Beaulieu.

“It’s much easier with our sows in stalls to go and look at them, adjust feed intake as necessary.”

Beaulieu said researchers don’t fully understand why fibre makes sows more passive.

POLAND | AFRICAN SWINE FEVER

Hog disease threatens Europe African swine fever will kill pigs in two to 10 days

BY JEFFREY CARTER FREELANCE WRITER

RIDGETOWN, Ont. — Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus has been a disaster for North American agriculture, but Europe faces an even greater threat.

Two wild boars in Poland recently tested positive for African swine fever, said Ernest Sanford, a swine specialist with Boehringer Ingelheim, who spoke here Feb. 19.

“This is moving to the European Union. Once it gets into the EU, it can keep rolling,” he said.

The World Organization for Animal Health says the most virulent strains of the virus will kill pigs of all ages in two to 10 days. Mortality rates may be as high as 100 percent.

There is no published treatment or vaccine.

Sanford said Russia has spent $1 billion to control the disease in the Caucasus region, going as far as killing backyard pigs, but has had limited success. There have been outbreaks in 10 Russian provinces.

The disease is spread by pig-to-pig contact, trucks and equipment, clothing and biting flies and ticks.

There are close to 1.4 million sows in Poland.

Sanford said the Balkan states are also at immediate risk.

An Africa swine fever outbreak in Haiti in the 1970s led to the U.S. Department of Agriculture slaughtering 380,000 pigs in the country, Sanford said.

There was concern that refugees fleeing Haiti’s repressive government and impoverished economy would bring the disease with them.

THE GREAT MIGRATION. Southern Alberta was once home to most of Canada’s mustard acres, but Saskatchewan has long been the country’s mustard king. | BY DAN YATES, SASKATOON NEWSROOM

SASKATCHEWAN FIELDS BLOOM WITH MUSTARD

How Saskatchewan became a mustard giant

M

ustard first appeared in Alberta in the 1930s, but acres migrated.

Today, two-thirds of the Canadian crop is grown in Saskatchewan.

One factor was Saskatchewan’s closer location to rail lines moving east to processing plants in the United States and to Thunder Bay for export to Europe.

Walter Dyck, seed division manager with Olds Products, a mustard manufacturer, said the shift occurred in the 1960s.

“It caught on in a big way in Alberta after Montana,” he said.

“It just seemed like there were good opportunities for growing it in Canada and it just naturally went to Saskatchewan because of the extent of the dryland farming that is available.”

Acres have varied over the decades.

Alberta seeded slightly less than 22,000 acres of the crop in the mid1970s and more than 90,000 in the mid-1990s, when Saskatchewan’s acreage topped 590,000.

Some 340,000 acres of yellow, brown and oriental mustard were seeded on the Prairies this year.

“Is there growth in the flour industry?

In the ground mustard industry? Prob-

ably the same comment as condiment (mustard) — slight growth,” said Dyck.

“And that’s really what limits the mustard acres, is that demand that is not significantly increasing.”

More acres have been contracted in Alber ta re cently, but the split between the provinces remains.

Acres are down from five-year averages, but producers contracted to grow the crop can earn more than 40 cents per pound for some varieties and see strong profits.

Production is expected to increase by more than 30 percent this year from last year because of more acres and strong yields. Last year, yields were down to 760 pounds per acre.

“When a producer does a partial budget to put in a crop, mustard has to pencil in with everything else and that is always yield times price,” said Baine

E C N A M ERFOR

S L A E R H E G I C

H

Fritzler, chair of Mustard 21 Canada.

“And really, what has kept us in the mustard business here so far is our prices have gone from 25 cents up to 40 and 45 cents in the last three years.”

Mustard 21, a non-profit industry organization affiliated with the Saskatchewan Mustard Development Commission, recently received $5 m i l l i o n i n f e d e ra l f u n d i n g f o r research initiatives.

“At one time mustard was the only specialty crop in Alberta (and) Saskatchewan. If you look historically, lentils didn’t exist, and it’s one of the reasons we have to play some catch up,” Fritzler.

With help from Agriculture Canada researchers, the organization is targeting condiment mustard varieties with improved protein and mucilage content and disease resistance. Yield is another focus, along with improved herbicide technology.

“We’re going to do a synthetic hybrid and it’s faster and cheaper than going the full hybrid route,” said Fritzler.

“And if we can get 20 to 25 percent yield increase in yellow (mustard), that’s going to be a pretty big move for us. I don’t think in the last 20 years we’ve moved four percent.”

The organization is also looking to boost production of varieties for bur-

P

geoning industrial uses. Officials are looking for improved agronomy and plants with higher oil and protein content, earlier maturing dates and better disease resistance.

“We’re not allowed into the GMO, genetically modified, system in terms of enhancing plants, so it takes more money and it takes a little longer,” said Fritzler.

“Our industry isn’t big enough … to generate enough check-off funds or enough research dollars to do that catching up.”

He said American buyers remain the premiere market for Canadian producers, but competition is appearing in international markets.

“What we have to do is make sure that our quality stays above everybody else’s, and that quality means making good mustard,” said Fritzler.

“So it’s not all about yield.”

EXCERPT | AUG. 30, 1945

COMMERCIAL MUSTARD PROVES VALUABLE ALTERNATIVE CROP FOR SOUTHERN ALBERTA

BY BILL SKELTON

Few Canadians realize it, but much of the table mustard conssumed in Canada is grown in the Dominion. Whether it’s the m mild, prepared brand that comes as a paste in bottles or whether iit’s the hotter, powdered brand, it’s just as native to the country as m most Canadians. That, in spite of the fact that most people associaate spices and condiments with far-away foreign lands.

Grown on limited acreages in deep southern Alberta as far back aas ten years ago, commercial mustard has enjoyed a great iincrease in popularity during the past four years. This year aapproximately 20,000 acres of the crop were grown in the territtory from Vulcan south to the international boundary.

EXCERPT | AUG. 30, 1945

W WEST’S FARM INCOME SHOWS SHARP DECLINE IN FIRST HALF OF ’45 Cash income from the sale of farm products in Canada for the first six months of this year amounted to $702,000,000, about $62,000,000 less than in the corresponding period of 1944, the Dominion bureau of statistics reported last week. This is a decline of 8.1 percent.

Except for a minor drop in Nova Scotia the three prairie provinces accounted for all the decrease in income. The largest drop — $51,000,000 — occurred in Saskatchewan, followed by substantial decreases of about $25,000,000 in Alberta and $14,000,000 in Manitoba. These declines were offset in part by increases in the other provinces which, in Ontario, amounted to nearly $23,000,000 with the remainder of the provinces showing smaller increases.

The reduction was due chiefly to smaller marketings of wheat and hogs during the first half of 1945 compared with unusually heavy marketings in the first six months of 1944. Increased marketings of cattle and calves and oats helped to offset part of the decline, the bureau said.

Heinz plant closure nixed by sale

Churches come together for foodgrains project

Highbury Canco Corp. of Toronto will produce juice and other tomato products

BY JEFFREY CARTER FREELANCE WRITER

LEAMINGTON, Ont. — Jobs and tomato acres in southwestern Ontario have been salvaged with the announcement that a company has bought the H.J. Heinz Co. plant near Leamington.

Heinz had announced its intention to close the plant last fall.

Pradeep Sood, who represents the principals of the Highbury Canco Corp., couldn’t be reached last week, but Robert Crawford, president of Local 459 of the United Food and Commercial Workers, said he spoke earlier with the Toronto businessperson.

“I think it’s going to be a pretty lean

canning operation,” Crawford said.

“It will be a year-round operation.

They’ll do distribution and they’ll be co-packing for Heinz.”

Heinz has employed 800 people, including full-time and seasonal workers and management personnel. Crawford understands the number will be reduced to 200 to 250 fulltime union positions and 80 seasonal workers.

Some members of the Heinz management team will also stay on, he said.

Crawford said he expects there will be pressure to reduce union wages.

The average full-time employee earns about $25 per hour, he added.

Tomato juice made from Ontario-

grown tomatoes is to be a big part of the business. The production of ketchup will move elsewhere, but several other lines are to be produced at the plant, Crawford said.

Jim Poel, chair of Ontario Processing Vegetable Growers, understands the new company will process 80,000 tons of tomatoes for juice production this fall, which is 40 percent of the tomato run under Heinz.

Highbury Canco is not the only Ontario canning company looking to expand international sales.

Thomas Canning, which operates a small tomato processing plant near Windsor, recently received $3 million in provincial funding to support a global expansion plan for its products.

NEW LARGER CAB WITH WRAP-AROUND WINDOWS – OUTSTANDING COMFORT AND VISIBILITY

It started with a little extra money in a church budget and culminated last year with the raising of more than $100,000 to help feed the world’s hungry.

Communities Offering Others Life (COOL), a partnership of four churches in the Starbucks, Man., area, organizes the production and marketing of crops and donates the proceeds to the Canadian Foodgrains Bank.

“This past year we sold our beans and were able to give $27,000 to foodgrains, and CIDA (Canadian International Development Agency) will quadruple that number,” said Dave Wiebe, a grain farmer from Springstein, Man., and one of the group’s leading members.

He said the group started in 2008 as an outreach initiative by the Mennonite church in Springstein.

“One year, we had a little bit extra in our budget, so we thought we’d put that money toward starting a food grains project, like Buy the Seed.”

The Mennonite church eventually joined forces with the United, Lutheran and Catholic churches in Starbuck, and COOL was born.

The foodgrains bank rents the project’s 80 acres, and many of the supplies are donated. Any bills are also covered by the foodgrains bank.

“Harvest time is usually a big event,” said Wiebe. “We try to do two things that make it a little bit more unique, to try to get the people, the non-farmers, into the project a little more.”

For one thing, a worship service is held in the field every other July with

all four denominations.

“It really helps connect the people who aren’t farming to the field, where they can actually see what we’re growing.”

As well, the Sturgeon Creek United Church from Winnipeg joined the project two years ago.

“They, too, like that they can come out to the field and actually be a part of it, even if none of their congregation farms,” said Wiebe.

“Harvest time is always one of those times where we try to email and phone as many people from all the five churches as we can.”

Eighty to 100 people usually come out for harvest.

“Last year, when we did the beans, we had 11 combines come out, so, that was good,” said Wiebe. “It didn’t take very long. Then, anyone who wanted combine rides, we sort of make it so that people can go in with the combine and see how it all works.”

The foodgrains bank, which provides financial assistance to help buy food in countries where it is in short supply, has growing projects across the Prairies, including about 25 in Manitoba.

“The project has really brought the community together, with people constantly asking about how the field is doing,” said Wiebe.

“When it comes down to it, everyone just seems to understand that this is a good thing to be part of. And it’s always fun when you get out there.

Richardson usually brings doughnuts or pizza, depending on the time of day, on the harvest day. Then everyone will just sit there after and visit a bit.”

OUTDOORS | REVIEW

Knife set looks good, but proves ineffective OUTDOOR PURSUITS

KIM QUINTIN

Stainless steel Buck Omni Hunter and Paklite Caper show poor design

T

he Buck Omni Hunter 12PT and the Paklite Caper are fixed knives manufactured in the United States that can be bought separately or as a set.

The Omni Hunter is model 393 with a four inch skinning blade, gut hook and rubber handle and weighs 7.3 ounces.

The Paklite Caper is model 135 with a 2.5 inch caping blade and bare metal handle and weighs 1.1 oz.

Both knives are made from 420HC stainless steel and are nontraditional designs.

The wide-bladed Omni Hunter has a curved and ridged rubber handle, which seems designed best for gutting and skinning large game.

The skeletal Paklite Caper is entirely metal and has a raised point for safely caping the shoulders and neck of a trophy animal.

The handles of both knives needed some getting used to. The natural grip position of the Omni Hunter left the index finger resting on an uncomfortable squared section, while the design of the Paklite Caper left the owner no option but to choke up high on the knife. The grip for both knives became dangerously slick when wet.

It required little effort to resharpen either blade to factory condition.

Buck offers a lifetime warranty on all its products. The edge-to-spine width of the Omni Hunter blade turned out to be unwieldy.

Other than the poor grip ergonomics, the biggest disadvantage is the 420HC stainless steel. The knives’ designers have done their best with the low-grade material by using a heat treatment process and hollow grinding the blades.

However, Buck’s efforts have only slightly mitigated the lackluster performance of this kind of stainless steel. The blade edges can be made to be serviceable for short periods but will never be outstanding in condition, endurance and sharpness. This is an important flaw when confronted with a situation of needing to process multiple game animals in a short time.

The nylon sheath was cleanly stitched and serviceable, but we had difficulty closing the safety snap over the handle of the Paklite Caper. This was probably a minor flaw in the manufacturing of the sheath but requires more manipulation of the knife and sheath than should normally be required when securing the tool. We would be concerned about the security of the Paklite Caper in case one accidentally fell.

Hard plastic sleeves protect each blade, but the imperfect clearances result in rattling. The sleeves also became dirty, difficult to effectively clean and unsanitary with use.

Although the Buck Omni Hunter and Paklite Caper Combo looks impressive on retailer shelves, we do not feel it is a good investment, given its shortcomings.

The knives are much like the fishing lures that are designed to attract fishermen spending money but are ineffective in actually catching fish.

Despite the seemingly moderate cost for the combo, we recommend spending your money elsewhere.

GENETIC MODIFICATION | NEW U.S. STUDY

GM crops show mix of benefits, concerns: USDA Weed and insect management made easier | Study says yield benefits elusive with GM crops and can sometimes lower yields (Reuters) — U.S. farmers are continuing to see an array of benefits after more than 15 years of using genetically modified crops, says a report issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

However, it said the impacts on the environment and on food production are mixed, and high farmer use of a popular herbicide on GM crops is a cause for ongoing concern.

“We are not characterizing them (GMO crops) as bad or good. We are just providing information,” said Michael Livingston, a government

agricultural economist and one of the authors of the report, which was prepared by the USDA’s Economic Research Service.

The report, released online Feb. 20, comes at a time when GM crops are under intense scrutiny: • Consumer groups are calling for tighter regulation of crop research and production and seeking mandatory labelling of food made with GMOs. • Environmentalists are reporting increasing concerns about weed resistance and insect resistance to

the crops and the chemicals used on them.

• Some scientific studies are reporting that the chemicals used on the crops are linked to disease and illness.

As well, the report comes as the USDA and the Environmental Protection Agency are in the final stages of approving the commercialization of a new GM crop and chemical product package developed by Dow AgroSciences.

GM crops have become wildly popular with U.S. farmers since Monsanto introduced herbicide tol-

erant Roundup Ready soybeans in the mid-1990s. Since then, Monsanto and other seed and chemical companies have introduced corn, soybeans, cotton, canola and others crops that tolerate being sprayed with herbicide or resist insects.

GM crops were planted on 169 million acres in the U.S. last year, which is about half the total land used for crops, the report said.

The seeds are patented and cost more than conventional seeds. The report said the price of GM soybean and corn seeds increased by 50 per-

cent between 2001 and 2010.

However, the companies that sell them say they make weed and insect management easier for farmers and can help increase production.

In their report, the ERS researchers said GM seeds have not been shown to definitively increase yield potentials over the first 15 years of commercial use.

“In fact, the yields of herbicide-tolerant or insect-resistant seeds may be occasionally lower than the yields of conventional varieties.”

Several researchers have found “no significant differences” between the net returns to farmers who use GM herbicide tolerant seeds and those who use non-GM seeds, the report said.

GM crops that prevent yield losses to pests are more helpful to farmers financially because they increase y i e l d p o t e nt i a l a n d m o n e t a r y returns.

As well, insecticide use on corn farms was down to .02 pounds per acre in 2010 compared to .21 lb. per acre in 1995.

However, while insecticide use has gone down, herbicide use on GM corn is rising, the report said.

Herbicide use on GM corn increased from 1.5 lb. per planted acre in 2001 to more than two lb. in 2010.

Herbicide use on non-GM corn has remained stable during that same time frame, the ERS said.

As well, the over-reliance on glyphosate has translated into an increase in weed resistance, which makes crop production much harder.

AGRIBUSINESS | ANIMAL HEALTH

Eli Lilly expands animal health with acquisition (Reuters) — Eli Lilly and Co., one of the biggest U.S. drug makers, plans to buy Germany’s privately held Lohmann Animal Health for an undisclosed sum in a move to expand its animal vaccine business.

Lilly regularly uses acquisitions to expand its animal health business, Elanco, which is one of the largest in the world.

Lohmann, which is owned by PHW Group, Germany’s biggest poultry producer and owner of the Wiesenhof food brand, supplies poultry vaccines and feed additives.

It has manufacturing sites in Cuxhaven, Germany, and Winslow, Maine.

Reuters previously reported that buyers were offering $550 million for Lohmann, which was said to have $352 million in sales last year and employs 640 staff.

Sources familiar with the matter said animal health company Zoetis Inc. and private equity firms Permira and KKR & Co. had also placed final bids for the company.

Germany’s Boehringer Ingelheim, the world’s largest unlisted drug maker, also considered an offer last year, sources said then.

EQUIPMENT REPAIR | SMALL TOWN BUSINESS

Keeping things old school works for mechanic Specializes in John Deere tractors | Mechanic says he works for poor people who have older equipment without computers and ‘all that new stuff’

BY REBECA KUROPATWA FREELANCE WRITER

Not all farmers have the biggest, latest computerized tractors. Some have small farms with tractors that were built years ago.

This can be a good thing for those hardy folks who make their livings as independent tractor and farm equipment mechanics.

Gaspard Filion operates his business without so much as a computer.

Filion of Sainte Rose du Lac, Man., has been fixing farm equipment for 53 years and has lived just north of Riding Mountain Park all his life.

He worked for a John Deer dealership for 23 years, but 30 years ago he began his career as an independent tractor mechanic. It wasn’t long before he had enough business to keep him busy to the point where he had to prioritize his contracts.

Filion set up shop on his pick-up truck and went on the road, “fixing tractors on the farm or wherever they stop.”

“What I do is never easy,” said Filion. “When you start out knowing nothing, you have to learn as you go.

Then, from what you learn, you sort of follow what works for you and just keep doing it.”

Filion said 90 percent of the repairs he does are on John Deer tractors. As a result, starting out was not a big challenge because many people in the area already knew him.

“When I started, I put an ad in the paper for the first six months and that was it, just to let people know what was going on,” said Filion.

“Once you make a name for yourself, then it’s you (that) people wait for. They won’t just call anyone. Still, it was challenging because I was there doing the work with nothing. When you’re at the shop, everything’s there, but I had to do it with nothing. Overall, I didn’t need any shop tools or anything. It’s unbelievable what you can do with nothing.”

In Filion’s first year of independent work, he would buy a tool when he needed something that he didn’t have. Since then he hasn’t had to buy much else.

“I’ve been doing this for the past 53 years now. I’m old school and I stick to the older stuff. If it has a computer, go see someone else. But really, I’m just working for the poor people. The ones with all that new stuff don’t call me.”

Filion used to work all year round, but now he tells people to wait until it is warmer. If they insist or if it is an emergency, he makes sure they have a reasonably weather-protected place where he can work.

“The last two years, I don’t do that much in the cold,” said Filion.

“Before, it was just wherever it was.

I just did it and thought nothing of it.”

for Filion, with many people waiting for service.

“It’s not easy,” he said. “It’s a judgment call. You just try to see the ones that need it most. They say you’re born for your work and that’s what I was born for, to do what I’m doing.

Most of the time, I don’t have to think.

I just do my work automatically.”

Filion believes it is most important to know where to go for help when something breaks down.

“It’s just like when you see a doctor

for a problem arm. If it’s broken, it’s easy to fix. You just put it back together. But, if it’s just hurting, it’s harder to find what’s wrong. It’s the same with machinery. Sometimes it’s just a bug, but you just find what’s causing it. It takes a lifetime to learn it.

“This isn’t work you can learn from reading a book. You need to gain experience to know where to go when a tractor sounds like this or that. You have to be there to feel your way around.”

Mechanic Gaspard Filion says determining the cause of an equipment problem takes a lifetime of hands-on experience to learn. | FILE PHOTO

GRAINWORLD | OAT EXPORTS

Canada’s rail bottleneck may see U.S. millers short of oats Shutdowns a possibility | U.S. millers may buy their oats elsewhere if shortages continue

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

American oat millers could shut down this spring if rail cars aren’t available to ship western Canadian oats south, says an industry analyst.

Randy Strychar told Grainworld in Winnipeg Feb. 24 that oat stockpiles at mills in the U.S. Midwest have reached dangerously low levels and there is no easy way to maintain or rebuild those stocks.

“There is less than 20 days of oat grind … 4.8 million bushels of oats, sitting right now at commercial facilities (in the U.S.),” he said.

“If we can’t get rail cars down to them, they’re going to run out of oats….”

Federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz had previously met with representatives of Canadian National Railway and Canadian Pacific Railway in Winnipeg and later told a news conference at Grainworld that they are adding thousands of more cars to alleviate the grain transportation logjam in Western Canada.

However, Ritz said the railways intend to use the additional capacity to move grain to Vancouver and Prince Rupert.

“They’ve told the grain companies that they’re not going to entertain anything, in the next short time, that goes to the U.S. or Thunder Bay.” Strychar said the announcement was “vague” and not helpful for the oat industry, which is desperate for rail cars.

“I know there are problems, I know they’re working on solutions, but the oat industry can’t wait for them.”

He said U.S. millers grind 8.75 million bushels of oats every month.

They could use up these supplies by April, he added, assuming they have reserves of five million bu. and another five million bu. on the books that are scheduled for transport.

Shawna Mathieson of the Prairie Oat Growers Association (POGA) said Strychar’s warnings of a shutdown are legitimate.

“They (millers) are running drastically short on oats…. If the situation is not remedied, there is that potential.”

Willie Zuchkan, a producer from Foam Lake, Sask., and vice-president of POGA, doubts the mills will close.

He said they will slow production, if necessary, and then find other sources.

“When the ice comes off the Mississippi, they’ll start importing oats from Scandinavia,” he said.

“Once they do that, it will be a significant cost to the oat producers of Canada…. For every vessel coming over from Scandinavia, it’s going to cost us, in roundabout figures, about $7.5 million.”

Mathieson said trucking isn’t efficient because restrictions on large double trailers in the U.S. means they cannot be used to get the oats to desired markets.

Real Tetrault, president of Emerson Milling, an oat miller in southern Manitoba, said Super B large

double trailers haul 3,000 bu. per shipment.

“Going to the U.S., you can only send a tandem load of oats. You’re sending 1,400 bushels at a time … so it’s much more expensive to send product into the U.S.” Mathieson said the announcement that railways are focused on shipping grain to Vancouver and Prince Rupert could exacerbate a critical situation.

“The outlook at this point doesn’t seem positive,” he said. “We would hope that (it) gets remedied shortly once the situation becomes even more critical … for Canadian oat growers and also the mills.”

If U.S. millers can’t get Canadian oats, they may look to alternative markets. |

$5 per bu. $2 per bu. said. “You can call up a grain company, a Richardson, a P&H, a Cargill … any of them. They will not offer oats…. Unless you have rail cars, unless you have predictable supply of rail cars, we don’t have an oat market (right now).”

The March oat contract in Chicago was trading at $3.50 per bu. at the beginning of the year and has jumped approximately $1.50 in eight weeks.

In comparison, corn futures began the year at $4.25 per bu. and was trading around $4.55 per bu. near the end of February.

“I’m not a rail expert but somebody better start building rail lines,” said Strychar. “We better start talking to Gene Roddenberry (of Star Trek) because we’re going to need a transporter to get this grain from the country to the port.”

Quality barn staff key to good results Workers who don’t care about what they are doing destroy productivity, says hog operation owner

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

The best genetics and methods are wasted if workers in a hog barn aren’t right for the job.

That’s the view of a Quebec hog barn operator who is getting 30 pigs per sow per year.

“If he’s not good, change the guy,”

said Julie Menard of F. Menard, which operates highly productive hog operations.

“Some of the people will never catch what is a sow in heat.”

Menard said diligent, committed workers who are good at what they do are key to getting results.

“You must have good pig genetics.

No good genetics, no good numbers,” Menard said.

“But the genetics will not do it by itself.”

Simply combining genetics with good practices won’t succeed either if the people applying the practices don’t do it well.

“It’s how the staff take the techniques you give to them and they apply it,” said Menard.

“If you don’t apply it every day and the people are not just having that target in their heads, they will never attain it.”

JULIE MENARD F. MENARD

Menard said the best people in the barn should be assigned to the gilts because making a gilt healthy and productive for its first parity is the key to making it productive and healthy for life. The gilt is much more likely to be poor for life if it is handled poorly at the beginning.

“People not doing a good job with their gilts are not able to achieve that 30 (target),” said Menard.

Good workers don’t necessarily come from farm backgrounds, Menard added. Being a good hog barn worker is more about having the right personality type and characteristics.

“Many people don’t know anything about agriculture, but if you teach them, if you raise them, if you educate them, you can have very good people,” said Menard.

However, she said barn operators need to get rid of workers who don’t care about what they’re doing because they destroy productivity.

“I’m really a believer that if you don’t want to perform, go do something else. We don’t need to keep you,” said Menard.

As well, people shouldn’t be left in key positions if they aren’t getting good results.

“A bad breeding manager? Change it. You can see your results (begin from a) very low (level). Change that guy. It’ll go up right away.”

Western Canada’s bumper crop.

Record grain volumes combined with increased rail demand from oil and gas industries are also generating solid revenues for short-line railway companies.

“We’re reaping some success right now because of all the problems that farmers are having,” said Lonnie McKague, a farmer and founding member of Red Coat Road and Rail, a short line that operates 115 kilometres of track between Pangman and Assiniboia in southern Saskatchewan.

“It’s hard for me to sit here and say that (our railway) is thriving and we’re doing great … but we are,” he said.

“We’re going to be turning grain business away here and we already have been. We’re (getting that business) from people who are coming to us in desperation to try to get some grain moved and (generate) some cash flow.”

Traffic on Battle River Railway, which runs between Alliance and Camrose in northeastern Alberta, is also strong, said Howard Vincett, a founding director of BRR. “We’re having a record year here … and we’re in the process of trying to lease some cars of our own,” said Vincett, who farms near Galahad, Alta., 200 km west of the AlbertaSaskatchewan border.

“We’ve had some grain move here from Saskatchewan, believe it or not.

There’s been some flax move in from Saskatchewan and there’s been inquiries from as far away as Moose Jaw and Swift Current.… I guess it shows you how desperate guys are getting some places.”

Demand for rail capacity is strong across the West.

Oil traffic has increased on many smaller lines, and grain traffic is up as well, especially among farmers having trouble delivering grain to mainline elevator companies.

Statistics provided by Quorum Corp., which monitors prairie grain transportation, show the amount of grain in storage at mainline company elevators across the West surpassed 3.6 million tonnes late last month, which is almost full capacity.

Loading a hopper car has also become more appealing for farmers, especially with basis levels as they are.

Farmers can sometimes earn as much as $2 per bushel more by loading their grain into a producer car, Vincett said.

BRR is also handling more CWB grain.

“We’re finding that a lot of (CWB) business is actually coming to us instead of going to the elevator companies because the grain companies, I suspect, are making more money buying their own grain rather than moving CWB grain,” Vincett said.

FARM POLICY | PESTICIDE

Trudeau backs away from Liberal neonics motion Members vote for ban | Liberal leader says science and production losses must be considered

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

OTTAWA — Federal Liberal leader Justin Trudeau appears prepared to go against party wishes when it comes to banning neonicotinoids.

Members at the party’s recent Montreal convention voted in favour of an immediate ban on the seed treatments used by canola, corn and soybean growers.

However, Trudeau told the Canadian Federation of Agriculture annual meeting that doesn’t mean it will actually happen.

“Any convention, you get things come forward. You listen to them,” he said.

“Whether or not they get implemented is based around what’s good policy.”

He said the Liberals will rely on evidence.

“We will take into account the concerns of people who voted in the

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE “They don’t want to do the board grain so there’s been some grain companies actually pushing their CWB business to us.”

BRR moved about 700 hopper cars of board grain a year under single desk marketing, but the number of hopper cars hauling grain, oilseeds and pulses on BRR’s track has nearly doubled since the grain market was deregulated.

BRR has identified new domestic markets, including domestic flour mills in British Columbia’s Fraser Valley, livestock feeders and pea stuffers.

“I guess what we’re doing is we’re finding (new domestic) markets and anytime you can move grain there, it takes some pressure off going to export terminals… Basically, we have a wider range or places where grain can go.”

Officials at Red Coat Road & Rail have taken a similar approach.

McKague said the railway faced challenges when single desk marketing was eliminated in 2012.

With CWB grain volumes no longer assured, Red Coat and a subsidiary company, Ogema Elevator, began looking for new ways to market local grain.

The companies are now shipping flax out of Ogema every second week.

“We no longer had the CWB so we had to assist farmers by finding markets for them,” said McKague.

Demand for service is high, but short lines still depend on their big brothers at Canadian National Railway and Canadian Pacific Railway to deliver cars. But car spots have been hit and miss.

“Overall, we’re between four and nine weeks behind in grain car orders and for our little line, that’s a lot,” said McKague.

At BRR, car spots have also been unpredictable, said Vincett.

Car orders that go unfilled for weeks will appear on short notice.

Short lines and loading facilities must be ready to respond quickly.

“Big rail is big rail,” said Vincett.

“They’re the big dog and we’re the tail at the end. We’re adapting to the system and we’re making it work.”

Liberal party, but ultimately we’re a party of science-based policy,” he said.

“And we’ll be looking at ways to move forward and to support farmers based around science and research and not necessarily implement a ban on neonics, despite a very clear will (of convention delegates), which I take as a will to make sure we’re being smart about bee populations.”

Trudeau’s comments came after a plea from Leo Guilbeault of the Ontario-Quebec Grain Farmers’ Coalition.

Guilbeault said beekeepers want

the pesticide banned, but grain farmers like him need the competitive advantage they provide.

He said neonicotinoids are used on millions of acres.

“If we lose this technology without replacing it with a plan B, which we don’t have right now, we’re looking at 20 percent production losses across the country,” he said.

Guilbeault said farmers are constantly told that they’re going to have to feed billions more people and keep up with technology to remain competitive and produce more food.

“We don’t disagree that there’s an

issue,” he said.

“I will disagree that banning neonics is the wrong approach.”

Last fall, the Pest Management Regulatory Agency attributed considerable bee deaths in Ontario and Quebec to dust contaminated with neonicotinoids.

Guilbeault said farmers will use deflectors on their planters and m o n i t o r b e e p o p u l at i o n s, b u t best management practices must prevail.

Trudeau said people are worried about bee populations because they understand the role bees play in agriculture, but he said in many cases

We will take into account the concerns of people who voted in the Liberal party, but ultimately we’re a party of science-based policy.

Soybeans show resilience under varied conditions Seeking optimal rate | A seeding rate cut of 30,000 seeds per acre last year showed minimal effect on yield

Brent VanKoughnet was worried about his soybeans last spring.

Cool weather had hindered plant emergence, and when he scouted his test plots in southern Manitoba, VanKoughnet consistently found thin plant stands regardless of row spacing and other variables.

“I was kind of sick about this…. I thought this field isn’t going anywhere good,” said VanKoughnet, who runs AgriSkills, an agricultural consultancy in Carman, Man. “I’ve lost one trial in 15 years … and I didn’t want this to be the second one.”

Three months later, the same soybean plots produced yields of 35 to 38 bushels per acre.

“It reminded me, don’t rip up a f i e l d ,” Va n Ko u g h n e t t o l d t h e CropConnect conference in Winnipeg last month.

VanKoughnet’s soybean trials have studied variables such as seeding rate, row spacing and seeding date.

Regardless of agronomic practices, there was minimal yield variation in most of his results.

Beans seeded in early to late May yielded 42 bu. per acre, while crops seeded with a planter at 30 inch spacing or seeded with an air drill at eight inch spacing yielded 40 bu. per acre.

VanKoughnet said he was surprised by the resiliency of soybeans.

“We looked at seeding dates, row spacing and population and also at rolling. In each of those cases, under a wide range of conditions, they (soybeans) bounce back pretty well.”

It’s good news for soybean growers, but he said they shouldn’t rely on that resiliency.

“I’m not sure you can always count on that. There’s an advantage to try and get it right and use the ideal plan.”

For example, soybeans seeded in early May can take 19 days or longer to emerge from cooler soil, while beans planted in the third week of May, when soil temperatures are approaching 15 C, will emerge in eight to nine days.

“In the years where we haven’t had a yield penalty, I consider that as more luck than good management….

The potential for disease problems and reduced vigour and all those kinds of things, sometimes you get away with it and sometimes you won’t,” VanKoughnet said.

“Slightly different growing conditions and that might not have turned out as positive as it did…. You can get away with early, sometimes, but that’s not a risk worth taking.”

VanKoughnet said growers might

be able to cut back on seeding rates.

“I think we found that some of the earlier discussion of seeding rates up in the 200,000 plants, that appears to have been excessive.”

Ron Tone, a Manitoba agricultural consultant, prepared a report for the Manitoba Pulse Growers Association last year on the effects of lowering rates by 30,000 seeds per acre.

After evaluating seven field-scale strip trials in Manitoba, Tone found that higher seeding rates increased yield by only 0.3 bu. per acre.

Assuming a seed cost of $54 per 140,000 seeds, Tone said cutting rates by 30,000 seeds saves $11 per acre.

Tone will continue his seeding rate strip trials this year to help determine the optimal seeding rates for soybeans.

Dennis Lange, Manitoba Agriculture’s crop production adviser in Altona, said VanKoughnet’s data suggest spacing doesn’t have a significant influence on yield.

“Between eight, 15 and 30 inch row or even a 22 inch row, if all conditions are good you don’t see a huge difference in yield,” he said.

“You’ll see differences in how quickly the beans come out of the ground, but at the end of the day it’s yield that matters.”

Lange said growers who own both an air drill and a planter could take advantage of that information by using both to seed beans.

“If you want to get those beans in, because you’ve got to get them (seeded) in May, there’s no problem going in with both units. You can get the beans in a lot quicker,” he said.

“There’s no point having a piece of equipment sit there when it could be put to good use.”

FLAX | AGRONOMY

Higher flax yields may rejuvenate crop: expert

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Last year’s high yields may reverse the prevailing trend of declining flax acres in Manitoba, says Anastasia Kubinec, a provincial oilseed specialist.

“I was very surprised that we only had 85,000 acres in Manitoba last year,” she said.

“I thought it would be more like 110,000 or 120,000. I’m hoping for at least that 120,000 (acres) this year.”

Kubinec said more growers may consider flax as reports of 50 bushels per acre or higher from last year flow through the agricultural community.

Saskatchewan flax acres have rebounded from lows recorded three to four years ago, increasing from 535,000 acres in 2011 to 859,000 last year.

However, Manitoba acres fell from 165,000 in 2010 to 85,000 in 2013.

Paul Dribnenki, a consultant who provides agronomic, breeding and biotechnology research for the flax industry, said Manitoba is also lagging behind other provinces when it comes to flax yields.

He said Manitoba’s average flax yield has increased .38 bushels a year in the last 30 years from 21.1 bu. per acre to 24 bu. per acre.

Meanwhile, prairie-wide yields have risen .5 bu. per year.

“So Manitoba is definitely the bronze medal,” Dribnenki told the Crop Connect conference in Winnipeg Feb. 18.

He said the acreage decline and meager yield growth is unfortunate because flax yields could be substantially higher in Manitoba.

Flax varieties grown at the Parkland Crop Diversification Foundation in Roblin, Man., yielded 73 bu. per acre last year, while varieties grown at plots near Rosebank, Man., generated 76 bu. per acre.

“So we have a very high yield potential in our varieties,” Dribnenki said.

“However, the yield stability is low.”

Kubinec said flax is particularly

frustrating for growers because it will yield 40 bu. one year and 20 the next.

Dedicated flax producers have discovered how to improve yield stability, he added, and they consistently grow flax that yields 35 bu. or higher.

Increasing from 20 to 25 bu. to 35 to 40 bu. requires effort and a dedication to agronomic detail, such as weed control, seeding dates, seeding rates and cropping sequence.

“That 15 to 20 bu. per acre discrepancy can be made up pretty quickly … if guys treat flax as a planned crop and not an afterthought,” Kubinec said.

Brian Hefty, a South Dakota grower who regularly achieves corn yields of 300 bu. per acre and soybeans higher than 70 bu. per acre, said commitment and focus are essential for high yields, regardless of the crop.

Dribnenki concurred, noting flax requires more energy and effort than other crops.

“As a manager and producer, you have to make sure you are there for flax to provide the TLC it needs,” he said. “There are definitely easier crops to grow … (but) the folks that are out in the field noticing things … and changing their management, those are the folks that are going to build up their yields.”

Kubinec said Manitoba Agriculture and the Manitoba Flax Growers Association have made efforts to broadcast information about flax agronomy.

In the last six years, they have held meetings and created Top 10 tips to amplify flax yields.

Unfortunately, he added, Manitoba growers are enthralled by more popular commodities such as soybeans and corn.

Dribnenki said there is an opportunity to rehabilitate flax’s image in Manitoba as a finicky, low yielding crop.

“It actually does respond very well to best management practices,” he said. “We’ve got to get some of that yee-haw back in flax. We have to rediscover the crop.”

CHICAGO (Reuters) — U.S. based Kroger Co. faces a lawsuit that claims it deceived consumers by marketing a store brand as humanely raised chicken products when the animals were raised under standard commercial farming.

The complaint, filed in Superior Court of California in Los Angeles County, is seeking class-action status against the United States’ biggest supermarket operator for allegedly misleading California consumers with claims about the grocer’s Simple Truth premium-priced store brand of chicken.

The Simple Truth chicken products are packaged with labelling that said the animals were raised “in a humane environment” and “cage free,” according to the lawsuit.

However, standard industry practice for broiler chickens is to house them inside large buildings, not cages, according to industry experts.

“Looking to profit from growing consumer awareness of, and concern with, the treatment of farm animals raised for meat production, Kroger engaged in a deceptive and misleading marketing scheme to promote its Simple Truth store brand chicken as having been sourced from chickens raised ‘cage free in a humane environment,’ according to the complaint.

“In fact, Simple Truth chickens are treated no differently than other mass-produced chickens on the market.”

The Simple Truth chicken products are produced by Perdue Farms, which has followed industry practices such as electric stunning birds before slaughter, according to the lawsuit.

Kroger spokesperson Keith Dailey said the label information is accurate and the company intends to “vigourously defend our label.”

FARM SAFETY | RESEARCH

Farm safety study helps producers design plans University of Manitoba researchers | Workers Compensation Board funds efforts to improve farmers’ access to information

BY ANNE COTE FREELANCE WRITER

Tw o U n i v e r s i t y o f Ma n i t o b a researchers will receive $300,000 in funding from the provincial Workers Compensation Board to study farm safety in the province.

One of the projects, the Safe Farm Plans, will collect safety information already available from Keystone Agriculture Producers, Dairy Farmers of Manitoba and the Canadian Agriculture Safety Association (CASA).

The goal is to provide easy access to safety planning information and provide the training that farmers need to create and implement individual farm safety plans, whether they grow field crops, raise livestock, participate in agricultural research or operate an agri-tourism business.

The U of M’s School of Agriculture already offers a course on farm safety planning, but it hasn’t worked as well as the faculty hoped it would.

“In the first course we offered, we thought that students would be able to develop a comprehensive farm

safe plan,” said Michele Rogalsky, who will be conducting the research with Lorrie Koroscil.

“We were working with CASA and using their farm safe template.”

The School of Agriculture instructors realized the CASA information model wasn’t user friendly because it involved a lot of work and took too much time.

Rogalsky said she and Koroscil saw an opportunity when they discovered the wealth of information that was available from other agriculture organizations.

“We thought we’d like to take the leadership and identify and put some of the resources together,” Rogalsky said.

“We plan to create some really good template samples from the existing information and resources that will allow a farmer to just reach in and easily develop their own farm safety plan.”

The other project will be to develop and deliver farm safety training and develop an online version of the Introduction to Farm Safety course, which is now offered at the School of Agriculture. Rogalsky said it should

be available to farmers in about a year.

They will also develop an advanced farm safety course for agriculture diploma students and farmers.

Rogalsky said students are the industry’s future managers, which makes it vital for them to understand the importance of farm safety.

“I don’t know that they’re aware of the injury rate.”

Rogalsky said attitude is a big factor in farm safety. Today’s farmers and future farmers need to understand just how much the loss of a skilled worker affects the farm business.

Jeff Shaw, safety co-ordinator for Safe Farms at the WCB’s Centre for Education and Work, said he will work with Rogalsky and Koroscil as they develop the farm safety projects to ensure the content and the messages are consistent with workplace safety and health responsibilities.

Shaw said he’s excited about what these projects mean for the future of farm safety.

The online resources that Rogalsky and Koroscil develop will provide farmers and farm workers with instant access to safety procedures, whether they’re in the barn or in field, he added. They won’t have to second guess themselves about repair procedures or other activities.

The funding will come from the WCB’s Research and Workplace Innovation Program.

LIVESTOCK | CONTROLLING ACIDOSIS IN DAIRY CATTLE

Better pH management can control acidosis Researchers manipulate starch | The idea is to make part of the starch resistant to digestion in the rumen

BY REBECA KUROPATWA FREELANCE WRITER

A new cost effective solution to the acidosis problem that all dairy producers face is closer to being available, according to the solutionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inventor.

Dr. Burim Ametaj, a veterinarian and professor of animal physiology at the University of Alberta, said the problem of rumen acidosis is widespread and exists because of what cows are fed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know that about 50 percent of cows get sick from one of the metabolic diseases or infectious diseases,â&#x20AC;? said Ametaj.

As they grow, cows are fed grass and grain. Once they reach the age of maturity, they are bred to start their milk production. To keep the milk flowing, cows need a lot of energy, which producers provide with a high grain diet. As starch in the grain degrades in the rumen, it produces various acids, like acetate, propionate, butyrate, lactate, and many more.â&#x20AC;?

The pH of the rumen should be six or seven. Sub-acute rumen acidosis occurs if it drops below 5.8, which is associated with multiple diseases and problems in dairy cows, such as lameness.

Dr. Burim Ametaj has developed a treatment to solve acidosis problems in dairy cattle. | UNIVERSITY OF ALBERTA PHOTO

The treatment that Ametaj developed maintains the rumen pH level above six. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We started in 2006,â&#x20AC;? said Ametaj. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to find a way to tackle this problem. There have been different treatments of grain, barley, and corn in the past, treating them with

heat, formaldehyde, or different chemicals. But these werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t very efficient and werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t being embraced by producers.â&#x20AC;?

Ametaj and his team found that they could modulate the starch by stripping the grain in a mild solution of lactic acids of 0.5 or one percent and adding low heat at 55 C. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The whole idea is to make part of the starch resistant to digestion in the rumen, bypassing into the intestines, lowering the odds of getting acidosis,â&#x20AC;? said Ametaj. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Through this, we had a quarter of the starch resist digestion and bypass the rumen. By adding heat we had better results compared to lactic acid alone. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more beneficial to cowsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; health and productivity.â&#x20AC;?

Humans are mono-gastric, as are hogs and horses, and digest starch mainly in the intestines.

However, ruminates have four stomachs, and the first one is a rumen, which has a large amount of bacteria. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In human resources, they were trying to use lactic acid bacteria to generate bread for diabetics so some of the starch would bypass their system,â&#x20AC;? said Ametaj.

This provided fodder for Ametajâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s idea of using lactic acid in his research.

His treatment method maintains rumen pH, but it also maintains milk fat content. Milk fat usually decreases when grain is fed to cattle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Producers are paid based on the milk fat and protein content, and protein is also higher, so both milk fat and protein were high,â&#x20AC;? said Ametaj.

Also, the amount of endotoxin was lower, which along with polysaccharides are part of the bacteria membrane. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The bacteria didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t die because the pH was higher,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As well, the toxin is very harmful, causing all sorts of troubles and diseases in dairy cows.â&#x20AC;?

The treatment also lowered the fatty acids that contribute to methane production, which pollutes the environment, and helped cows take in more minerals from the feed.

Ametaj said it would be almost impossible for producers to treat their feed this way themselves. Each cow would need eight to 10 kilograms of treated grain per day, which would require one tonne of treated grain per day if a producer had 100 cows.

Typically, dairy producers get their grain from a processing company.

Ametaj and his team are working with a partner at the University of Saskatchewan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have a big enough grain processing centre to produce 20 tonnes per hour,â&#x20AC;? said Ametaj. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working together to commercialize it in the next few years.â&#x20AC;?

He recently founded a company called Healthy Cow Corp. with other business partners, of which he is the chief scientific officer.

China’s approval process for GM grain ‘overly political’ Delayed approvals spur criticism | American Chamber of Commerce unhappy with regulatory process in world’s top soybean market BEIJING, China (Reuters) — China’s approval process for genetically modified grain has become “overly political” and “unpredictable and nontransparent,” says an American industry group.

It is the strongest criticism of Beijing’s biotech policy since China began rejecting thousands of tonnes of GM corn last year.

“In recent years, China’s biotech approval process has gone from being slow but predictable to even slower, unpredictable and nontransparent,” said the American Chamber of Commerce in a policy report.

China is the world’s top importer of soybeans and among the top importers of corn.

All of the country’s soybean imports are GM varieties, but it rejected onefifth of its corn imports last year after they were found to contain Syngenta’s MIR612 gene, which Beijing has not approved.

China’s approval of GM crops for import has slowed from two years to three years or longer, said David Yeh, vice-chair of the chamber’s agriculture forum.

Delayed approvals are a “major disruption to trade flows,” said the report.

“AmCham China members are concerned that the approval process has become overly political, requiring high-level attention to advance applications through the MOA 9 (ministry of agriculture),” it added.

The group’s members include leading seed fir ms Monsanto, Bayer CropScience, Syngenta and DuPont.

China has long adopted a cautious attitude to GM crops. Wary of public distrust of the technology, it has not yet allowed any major GM food crops to be grown in the country, despite investing hundreds of millions of

dollars in research.

Yeh said Beijing’s strategic focus on ensuring food security may also be influencing its approach to GM imports.

“China is putting agriculture and food security in such a high agenda so when it comes to global supply, there could be considerations for access of global raw material versus domestic raw production,” he said.

Low public acceptance of GM food is also a consideration for the Chinese government when looking at approvals, he said.

bean, corn, cotton and canola traits waiting for final safety certificates or for approval to initiate required local studies, said the chamber of commerce.

E l e v e n o f t h o s e w e re f i n a l l y approved.

It believes carrying out local studies is unnecessary for imported crops.

“If there’s a low-level presence in the shipment, the country of import will conduct a quick safety risk analysis and if it’s proven safe, would accept a shipment without disrupting the trade,” said Yeh. China could be more receptive to such an approach once it approves domestic GM crops, added Yeh. However the agriculture ministry said last month there is still no timetable for the commercialization of its own GM corn and rice.

Major grain traders have said they will limit their handling of crops containing a new GM Syngenta strain known as Duracade until big importers such as China give it their approval.

South Korea offers F&M aid to North Korea SEOUL, South Korea (Reuters) — South Korea has offered North Korea help with an outbreak of foot-andmouth disease in pigs, which would b e t h e f i r s t g ov e r n m e nt- l e v e l humanitarian help since 2010.

It comes as ties between the rivals have been warming.

North Korea’s agriculture ministry said in a state news agency report Feb. 23 that at least 3,200 pigs had been infected with foot-and-mouth.

S o m e ha d d i e d b u t m o s t w e re slaughtered.

The outbreak, which began Jan. 8, had caused economic losses and was spreading because of shortages of vaccines, diagnostic means and disinfectants, the news agency said.

South Korea’s agriculture ministry said it wanted to help the North contain the spread.

“The government has suggested a practical-level meeting to discuss and offer aid today as it understands that this requires urgent measures,” the ministry said in a statement.

Ties between the two Koreas are often fraught, but in recent days hundreds of South Koreans have crossed into the North to be reunited with family members not seen since the 1950-53 Korean War. The reunions were held despite North Korean anger over military exercises between South Korea and the United States, which began Feb. 24. Last year, the exercises triggered weeks of North Korean threats of war.

Foot-and-mouth usually affects cloven-hoofed animals such as sheep, goats, cattle and pigs. It rarely infects humans.

South Korea does not import meat from the North but has stepped up disinfection of workers in the Kaesong industrial complex jointly run with North Korea, as well as of people crossing the border for reunions.

Global companies’ records draw scrutiny from Oxfam

Trans-Pacific talks stall

BERLIN, Germany (Reuters) — Many of the world’s top food and drink companies are taking steps to improve their social and environmental impact on poor countries, says Oxfam.

However, there is still much more to do, it added.

Oxfam launched its Behind the Brands campaign a year ago to try to assess the real impact of food and drink companies on the countries where they source raw materials, especially given a proliferation of public commitments to sustainability.

Oxfam said the companies it ranked as most responsible — Nestle, Unilever and Coca-Cola — had extended their lead over the others, while General Mills had replaced Associated British Foods in last place.

Big food and beverage companies have come under increasing scrutiny in re cent years over their sourcing of raw materials, courting criticism on issues as varied as child labour on cocoa farms to the impact of palm oil plantations on rain forests.

Oxfam said its campaign had been helped by thousands of consumers bombarding brands with messages calling for action as well as a joint statement from 31 investment funds representing nearly $1.5 trillion of assets that reiterated the Oxfam demands.

“Those that are not moving fast

Stumbling blocks | Timeline for trade deal remains unclear

enough will pay a price with the public, investors and communities in the field,” said Chris Jochnick, director of Oxfam’s private sector work.

“Those companies that move first should see benefits in long-term access to sustainable supply chains, which should be reflected in their share price.”

Oxfam said the biggest 10 food and beverage companies it studied had a significant impact, given that their annual revenues of more than $450 billion are equivalent to the national income of all the world’s low-income countries combined.

Oxfam ranked the firms on their policies in areas it sees as critical to sustainable agriculture: women, small-scale farmers, farm workers, water, land, climate change and transparency.

The top 10 companies were Nestle first, Unilever second, Coca-Cola third, Mondale International and PepsiCo fourth, Mars and Danone sixth, Kellogg Co. eighth, AB Foods ninth and General Mills 10th.

Jochnick said General Mills lost ground due to a lower score for transparency because it was not publishing as much information as before on its water policies.

General Mills said it had a strong focus on sustainability and believed its efforts merited a better score, noting the Oxfam score was based only on publicly available information.

SINGAPORE (Reuters) — Ministers in the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade talks have yet to reach agreement on tariffs and other market access issues, with the timing of a completed deal looking increasingly unclear.

The 12 member countries, including Canada, announced Feb. 25 that they had made significant progress during four days of meetings in Singapore, but the talks ended with no clear indication of a time frame to clinch the TPP agreements.

“Market access is in some respects the heart and soul of any trade agreement, so until that’s done, we don’t have an agreement,” said New Zealand trade minister Tim Groser.

The deal aims to cut tariffs and set common standards on other trade issues across a dozen countries that cover almost 40 percent of the global economy.

Long-running differences on tariffs of imported goods are proving difficult to overcome, par ticularly between the United States and Japan, which is keen to protect sensitive products such as rice, meat and wheat.

Two sets of meetings between the Japanese and U.S. delegations during the talks produced no breakthrough.

U.S. trade representative Michael

Froman said market access for agriculture in Japan remained a significant issue but played down the idea that TPP talks might proceed without Japan, the second-biggest economy in the bloc.

“All the countries around the table are focused on trying to get that deal done with all 12 countries as part of it,” he said.

Sticking points over intellectual property and the rules for stateowned enterprises and government procurement are also proving difficult.

“If you ask whether all outstanding issues have been resolved, it is also a common recognition that they still remain,” said Japanese economics minister Akira Amari.

Malaysian international trade and industr y minister Mustapa

Mohamed said participants were all showing flexibility, but some issues were tough to move on.

“There are things which can be done, there are others which cannot be done, and we’ve been telling our partners what is doable and what is not doable,” he said.

There had been expectations that the deal could be concluded in time for U.S. president Barack Obama’s visit to Asia in April.

However, it is unclear whether ministers will meet again before the trip.

“We’ve made no further plans at this point in terms of the next meetings,” Froman said.

The talks include the U.S., Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei, Vietnam, Chile, Mexico and Peru.

RESEARCH | HERBICIDE

Farmers divided after expert issues glyphosate warning Harmful effects | American plant pathologist Don Huber links glyphosate use with rise in human birth defects

Farmer opinions ran the spectrum Feb. 27 following a presentation by Purdue professor emeritus Don Huber about the repercussions of glyphosate use.

“It’s all true,” said agronomy adviser Hendrik Feenstra after hearing Huber’s speech to the Farming Smarter research group annual meeting in Lethbridge.

Others were not as accepting.

“I think Dr. Huber’s presentation was good when he stuck to peer reviewed sources,” said farmer Andy Kirschenman.

However, he said the correlations Huber made between increased glyphosate use and a rise in human birth defects, which the professor argued coincided with increased chemical use on genetically modified crops, raised questions.

“Acceptance of genetically modified crops as well as glyphosate is not the only thing that started in the mid ’90s,” said Kirschenman.

That said, the farmer from Hilda, Alta., has reduced use of glyphosate on his farm in recent years.

“I have already started to cut back on glyphosate,” he said.

“I think it’s irresponsible to use it from a resistance management thing. We’ve seen within the last two years glyphosate resistant kochia start, so that’s definitely an issue, as well as other resistance. I think that we use too much of it.”

Huber said glyphosate is implicated in reduced crop yields and increased incidence of more than 40 plant diseases. It is a broad spectrum chelator that prevents plants from adequate mineral uptake.

It is also an antibiotic, which destroys beneficial soil bacteria.

“Glyphosate targets all of the good guys,” said Huber.

LIVESTOCK | MARKET

Nilssons sell auction facility

BY LES DUNFORD FREELANCE WRITER

WESTLOCK, Alta. — Nilsson Bros.

Inc. has sold its livestock facility near Clyde, Alta., to its long-time manager.

Len Hrehorets, who will run the auction market under the name North Central Livestock Exchange, has worked at the market for 25 years, the past 12 as manager.

The facility’s former Nilsson Bros. employees will stay with the new company, he added.

The facility at Clyde is the largest cattle auction market in Canada.

The original facility began as Modern Livestock Ltd. in 1977 with Bill Nilsson and his sons, Brian and Lee. When it was destroyed by fire in November 1982, they continued operations in a plastic shelter until the new current building was completed and opened in September 1983.

Brian and Lee Nilsson assumed operation of the market in 1986 and changed the name to Nilsson Bros.

Inc. Livestock Exchange.

“You’re changing that biology very dramatically.”

The plant pathologist said glyphosate renders plants susceptible to soil-borne pathogens and attributes the increase in Goss’s wilt in corn and sudden death syndrome in soybeans to glyphosate use on GM varieties of those crops.

Alberta Agriculture agronomy researcher Ross McKenzie pressed Huber to explain why prairie farmers have not seen yield reductions on glyphosate resistant crops.

Huber attributed it to the strength of traditional crop breeding programs.

“We should move away from it as

q u i c k l y a s w e c a n ,” h e s a i d o f glyphosate.

Huber’s warnings about the chemical prompted a U.S. Department of Agriculture review on glyphosate effects, which was released two years ago.

The report’s authors concluded that “reports of significant adverse effects of glyphosate on mineral nutrition and diseases of GR (glyphosate resistant) crops are perplexing in light of the considerable body of literature and yield data that contradict such claims. Nevertheless, there might be effects of glyphosate in GR crops on mineral nutrition and/or disease under particular but uncommon conditions.”

Further studies are now underway on high levels of glyphosate applied to Roundup Ready corn and soybeans.

Huber said in his presentation that more than 1,300 peer-reviewed papers have been written on feed and food safety issues involving glyphosate and GM proteins. Most of them indicate concerns.

However, use of the chemical is rampant and unlikely to cease.

“Ninety-four percent of our farms use glyphosate, so make sure you recognize that there’s a reduced nutrient efficiency and compensate for it,” said Huber.

“We need to compensate for those

needs and realize that you can’t do one thing in this ecology without affecting all of the other interactions.

Look at it in that aspect.”

Kirschenman said extensive use of glyphosate for weed control and desiccant has eliminated equally effective alternatives,.

“There’s really no other option,” he said.

“There’s no possible way I will go back to tillage as a weed control option because if we’re talking about destroying beneficial soil bacteria and microbes, tillage is going to be much worse than glyphosate in my area, plus soil loss and erosion.”

The reality of 100 bushel per acre wheat Simple system works | The higher cost of a bigger wheat crop is calculated in hours rather than dollars

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

Wheat agronomist Phil Needham admits his four primary cornerstones for growing 100 bushel spring wheat in central Saskatchewan seem basic, but they work.

Needham makes as many as 80 presentations a year outlining his four principles of growing big wheat crops, usually with a handful of those workshops on the Canadian Prairies, where he has clients.

Before digging into those cornerstones, he emphasizes to the audience that a big wheat crop is only likely if the head count is 500 to 600 per sq. yard. Fewer heads are acceptable. Many more than 600 heads will doom the crop to mediocrity.

“I’ve found that a number closer to 500 heads is better in the typically lower rainfall areas of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. In areas where you often get more rain, then push it up to 600 heads per sq. yard,” Needham said.

“There’s still a lot of growers out there who think a really thick field is good. I’ve scouted fields in all three provinces and counted 800 or 1,000 or even more heads per sq. yard.

Once I’ve convinced these growers to cut back on their seeding rate, then the next year, their plants were able to make better use of available sunlight, moisture, nutrients and the soil itself.

Their yields went up.”

Needham said the conventional method of seeding solely on the basis of pounds per acre is irrelevant. Instead, seed weight is the critical factor.

He said a well managed lot of certified wheat might hold 9,500 seeds per pound. On the other hand, a batch of bin run might have 15,000 or 20,000 seeds per lb.

A target of 500 to 600 heads per sq. yard is meaningless if the grower doesn’t have weight data for each seed lot, as well as uniform weight within the seed lot. Of course, heavier, plumper seeds are healthier and more likely to grow into a big crop.

Seed management is one way to

PHIL NEEDHAM AGRONOMIST

control head count, but it’s also important to remember that too much nitrogen placed too close to the row at the time of seeding will promote tillering. Excessive tillering can produce far more heads than farmers want, even if the seed management program is spot on.

He said head count is merely an indicator of whether a farmer might grow a big crop.

To attain that big crop, there are four cornerstones that must be understood and implemented: Lay the foundation A good crop begins with uniform spread of residue from the previous

year’s crop. However, the problem is that header sizes at the combine’s front end have quickly out-paced residue management equipment at the back end.

Needham said farmers shouldn’t buy a 42-foot header if they can only spread residue 35 feet. Those residue strips become dead zones that cool the soil in early spring.

Harrows can cause more problems than they solve because they knock down standing stubble and usually fail to spread the residue evenly, he added.

Farmers who consistently grow crops above their district average consistently pull soil samples every year, even when they have a good idea what the results will be.

Nitrogen is the most expensive input, but soil testing is the cheapest way to get the best return on nitrogen.

There should be no compromise on seed germination or vigour. Needham’s top producing clients always grow four to six varieties a year, which

spreads the risk and harvest workload and keeps them on top of which varieties to discard and which new ones to add.

It’s important to select varieties proven to be appropriate to the area’s soil and climate conditions, but it’s also good to keep shaking up the mix.

Seed needs to be well cleaned with a gravity table, and every seed that goes into the drill should be uniformly treated with fungicide.

Create potential The best seed is of little value if it ends up laying on top of the ground, planted too deep or crowded into a clump with the neighbouring seeds.

The goal is uniform spacing across the field.

“I frequently see fields which have 40 to 50 plants per yard of row in one row and 20 to 25 plants per yard of row in the next row,” said Needham.

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE “Upon closer examination, some of these differences were a result of the seeders not metering consistently, seeding depth differences and residue distribution problems. Based on my research, wheat needs to be seeded at a depth of one inch to ensure consistent emergence.”

Build yield Needham said the single most important thing a grower can do is improve nitrogen management.

Most prairie farmers try to apply all their nitrogen at seeding time, he added, generally based on an historical yield goal.

“Guys feel that one-pass farming is the ultimate in good management.

It’s not,” he said.

“We fail to achieve better yields across the board in all regions in all three provinces. It’s because of the faulty principle of fertilizing for a pre-determined goal at seeding

It doesn’t cost a fortune to grow a high-yielding wheat crop. It begins with little things like good uniform seed treatment with 100 percent coverage.

Growers should assume that every seed with bare spots will perish along the way. The cost difference between well-treated seeds and badly treated seeds is minimal, but it makes a big difference at harvest time. | PHIL NEEDHAM PHOTO time. We had excellent growing conditions for most producers in the Prairies in 2013, but most fields fell short of their potential because of

that one-pass mindset.”

He said he has seen in-crop nitrogen applications later in the season double wheat yields.

Setting the pace.

Start strong. Finish fast. ✔ Very short, strong straw ✔ Fast, efficient harvest ✔ MR to fusarium ✔ Great fit for intensive management

“In one case, the grower had initially fertilized for a 40 bu. yield,” he said.

“Then the heat and rain and things started to develop into a really good growing season. If he hadn’t added nitrogen, he would have gotten the 40 bu. he initially anticipated. But he followed the principles of good nitrogen management and put down enough extra nitrogen for 80 bu. And 80 bu. per acre is the crop he harvested.”

Later season nitrogen also increases protein levels.

The only significant monetary cost is an extra pass with the sprayer to dribble on liquid nitrogen, but there is a significant cost in terms of hours spent scouting fields and pulling plant tissue samples.

In the end, if it doesn’t look like the weather is conducive to growing a big crop, then skip the extra nitrogen and save the money.

Needham said post-applied nitrogen should go on at jointing or the end of tillering. This timing does not promote further tillering or increase the risk of lodging.

Wheat crops that experience lodging usually have high head counts caused by high nitrogen rates placed close to the row at seeding time.

Protect potential Field scouting should begin as soon as seed is in the ground, and weeds and volunteer crop should be sprayed down before wheat emerges.

Not only does this unwanted vege-

tation compete with the crop in the early stages for moisture and nutrients, but these early plants also serve as a host for insects that later move into the wheat crop.

“Field scouting should continue on a regular basis throughout the growing season in order to get the earliest possible jump on emerging weed, insect and plant disease problems,” he said.

“If you can’t find the time to thoroughly scout all fields in a timely manner, hire someone to do it for you. Scouting is the only way you can protect your investment.”

A well timed foliar fungicide can also give wheat yields a final boost.

Some diseases can be controlled as their levels increase, while others, such as fusarium head blight, need to be prevented at flowering.

“There are three major fungicide timings, depending on variety, moisture, temperature, previous crops and tillage practices. Disease forecasting models help to fine tune the fungicide program in addition to assessing the different varieties you grow,” he said.

Tissue samples pulled at the four to five leaf stage, jointing or early heading can help determine which nutrients the plants can use.

If the sample is pulled later in the window, it will help tune the fertility program for the following year. Earlier tissue samples allow producers to make immediate in-season applications.

Wheat row spacing requires narrow focus: grower New way of working | Agronomist Phil Needham says Western Canadian farmers should rethink wide row spacing

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

Western Canadian farmers and the folks who build their seeding equipment seem to have a love affair with wide row spacing, but is it a healthy relationship?

Phil Needham says not.

Needham feels the love-in is based more on emotion than rational thought.

He said it might not be healthy at all, especially for the third member of the triangle: the crops.

“In Western Europe, where they grow those mammoth wheat crops, the row spacing on their seeding equipment is four inches, 4.5 inch or five inches,” said Needham.

Research in Western Canada hasn’t always shared his opinion.

He said there are two main reasons for going narrower: • Wheat plants have better access to all the available sunlight, moisture and nutrients if there are no bare gaps on the surface.

• Wider row spacing concentrates more seeds and more fertilizer into a tighter area, resulting in seedling

damage, while narrow spacing spreads things out within the row so that farmers can put down more seed-placed fertilizer and the plants aren’t crowded.

Needham said wheat growers can take a page from corn research that has proven growers get better corn yields if the plants have more shoulder room within the row.

As an example, he said a grower can put down the same seed-applied fertilizer rate and the same plant population in two fields. One field has six-inch spacing. The other has 12-inch spacing.

Plants in the field with 12-inch row spacings are crowded and suffer from the impact of nearby fertilizer.

Plants in the field with six-inch spacing have more room and better access to sun, moisture and nutrients, because plants in the rows are more spread out into the spacings.

Fertilizer is less concentrated, so it does not cause seedling injury.

“A l m o s t a l l t h e r o w s p a c i n g research I’ve conducted concluded that 7.5 inch (spacings) out-yield wider (spacings),” he said.

“There have been a few trials in high-stress environments that resulted in the same yield, but never a yield advantage for wide rows.”

He said that wide row drills and

seeders are slightly cheaper to buy and operate, but added the higher yield created by the narrow spaces between crop rows should pay the difference between the two designs.

Needham said wheat seed singulation trials have been conducted in North America with the Horsch Anderson Maestro corn planter. Preliminary results are positive.

New model sprayers rebuilt from ground up Updated design | Versatile’s two-wheel drive machines will replace the SX275 model with ground up redesign

BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Versatile has released two models of its new and much anticipated sprayer.

The machines replace the SX275 model that was a refined version of the Minnesota built Red Ball sprayer.

The SX240 and SX280 are powered by a Cummins QSB 6.7 litre engine, with the Versatile model names describing the horsepower. The QSB doesn’t require the use of diesel exhaust fluid to meet Tier 4 interim standards. Instead, it relies on exhaust gas recirculation and filtering.

The smaller unit gets an Allison 2500, five-speed automatic transmission and the larger sprayer gets an Allison 3000. Both are capable of travelling up to 30 m.p.h. and will be built in Wilmar, Minn.

The machines remain two-wheel drive, using a JCB hydraulically locking differential. Drop boxes form the mechanical drive system. The differential lock can be applied on the go when things get sticky.

Adam Reid of Versatile said the Winnipeg company has been working on a replacement for the SX275 for several years.

“We designed at Wilmar, using what we have learned from tractors and farmers,” he said during a recent Midwest farm show.

“We like getting these things right.

And this, sprayers, is something we wanted to be based on producer input and some engineering that matches those expectations. You could rush something out there, but we chose not to.”

Gran Lien, who manages the product for Versatile, said the new sprayer is different from the previous machine, leaving almost all of the Red Ball heritage behind.

“This is a Versatile,” he said during the Commodity Classic in San Antonio, Texas, where the sprayers were announced.

“We kept the machine simple, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t perform all of the tasks a producer needs and more. But this machine really feels like a Versatile. Well thought out and practical.”

The cab, the same one featured in the Versatile tractors, is the biggest found on a North American sprayer.

A new seat with mounted controls and console keeps most of the operations located at the right hand of the operator. Floor and hand throttles, as well as field cruise control, are all built into the design.

The big machine gets an optional, updated version of the 1,200 U.S. gallon stainless steel unit that came with the SX275. With it is a 120 gallon rinse tank.

New for this year is the 1,000 gallon polyurethane tank with integrated 100 gallon rinse tank.

The new tank is standard on the 280 and the only choice on the 240 because of that machine’s lighter transmission.

A front folding ladder that folds up when the parking brake is shut off is built into the operator access system, which includes a larger walkway for access to the top of the machine.

Controls for loading and cleaning are all located at an operator station, which was redesigned for easy use.

All valves are set to the up position when the machine is field ready so that operators can tell at a glance whether the machine is set to spray.

Two storage lockers for protective clothing, spray information and tools are located next to the loading controls.

Booms use a rubber torsion mount and a three-stage yaw management system to keep them stable.

The boom can be locked into place flat or at an angle, which Lien said allows the producer to turn at speed without the booms dipping into the crop.

Spray controllers are by Raven, either the Envizio Pro or the 5000.

Guidance is the Versatile V-PAS, which is the Raven SmarTrax.

Boom height control is the AccuBoom, and the section control is that company’s SmartBoom.

Booms are available in 90 or 100 foot widths and can be set from 25 to 72 inches. Machine tracking width is mechanically or hydraulically adjustable. Product pumping is from a Hypro 9306 HM5C3U and is available in cast or stainless.

The SX240’s listed base price is $291,000 US, and the 280 has a base price of $304,000. Pricing will be variable based on individual dealers and regional markets.

FARM POLICY | WILDLIFE

Elk feeding frenzy forces farmer to make changes Feed shortage | Saskatchewan farmer unable to make claim under Wildlife Damage Compensation Program

BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

PARKSIDE, Sask. — Percy Waterhouse is fed up with elk herds eating away at his bottom line.

Hundreds of elk have been stopping daily at his farm this winter, destroying his hay bale supply and polishing off 100 acres of swathed green feed.

He said the loss has forced him to change his feeding program to make it through to spring.

Adding to his frustration are ques-

tions about the Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corp. (SCIC) and how it administers the Wildlife Damage Compensation Program.

SCIC president Shawn Jaques said the wildlife program is open to all producers in the province, whether they belong to crop insurance or not.

The program is funded by the federal and provincial governments on a 60-40 sharing basis. Producers who qualify are compensated 100 percent. There are no premiums.

Jaques said the program is available for seeded commercial crops,

stacked hay, market gardens, tree nurseries, sod farms, honey and leaf cutter bees and alternative feeding systems such as swath grazing.

“If we determine that there is a loss, producers will be paid 100 percent.…

We don’t pay for the same loss twice,” he said.

“We expect producers to take every measure possible to prevent losses to their forage, their cattle feed.”

Waterhouse said he had expected to have enough feed at the start of winter but now won’t. He had to sell 175 calves two weeks ago, at least two months sooner than in previous years.

“Why am I forced to sell my cattle early? Why am I forced to ration my cows just so their animals (elk) can eat when you get a cold winter,” he said.

Every morning he finds rows of bales that have been torn open and several where elk have eaten the core out, leaving a wide hole. Several piles of hay lie scattered on the ground, remnants of bales that have been ripped apart and walked on. All around are the tell-tale signs of elk.

He said a herd of 100 elk typically eat one 1,500 pound bale per day and

destroy another. The animals eat 20 to 30 lb. of feed each per day, which is 2 1/2 percent of their body weight.

Their pawing kills alfalfa plants as the herd travels over his fields, leaving big areas of damage that will be visible come spring.

Waterhouse said he and the SCIC are monitoring damage to the hay bales and have not yet confirmed the amount of compensation.

“Typically, what we see with people that have damage to their stacked forage, those claims aren’t finalized until the wildlife has stopped coming to their yard,” said Jaques.

Waterhouse said elk numbers on his farm have been increasing, particularly over the past two winters, but wildlife has lived off his fields and crops for 15 years.

“I think the elk are spreading out.

It’s getting to be a bigger area all the time,” he said.

Waterhouse’s frustration with the crop insurance program came to a head in December and January after a herd of elk ate its way through 100 acres of green feed that he had grown for swath grazing.

The SCIC had already compensated him for the field last summer because

he couldn’t seed a crop in time due to wet acres. He said he did not read the small print on the contract before signing, which indicated there would be no further compensation.

Assuming he would be compensated for wildlife damage, Waterhouse then seeded the field to oats, barley and millet.

“For the wildlife damage, it’s supposed to be 100 percent (compensation) for anybody that has wildlife damage. You don’t have to be in crop insurance to get wildlife damage,” he said.

Because he accepted $5,537 through crop insurance, Waterhouse said he has been denied further compensation from the wildlife insurance program.

“They said I was double dipping.

They had paid me out once and that was all they were going to pay me,” he said.

“My response is they told me it was my crop, I could do whatever I wanted with it. I went out there with good intentions for growing feed for my cows and as soon as I grew the feed they come back to me six months later and say, ‘no, it’s not mine anymore.’

They want it back to feed the elk.”

“A producer isn’t able to get paid on the same land twice in a year.… That’s currently what the policy is,” he said.

“There’s a framework, a set of guidelines that we have to follow, and that’s right in the rules that we have with the program.”

Waterhouse, who spent $23,040 on the swath grazing crops, said he would have been better off foregoing the $5,537 that he received through the wet acres claim and submitting a

claim of $23,040 through the Wildlife Damage Compensation Program.

“I would have never gone out there and invested that kind of money in fertilizer, in spray and stuff if I thought for a second that I was not going to get it (wildlife insurance),” he said.

Waterhouse said he’s not against having elk on his land, but he can’t continue paying for the privilege of feeding the animals and fixing broken fence lines.

“I enjoy seeing wildlife just as much as anybody but I can’t sit here and feed 200 extra animals on my farm. It’s not

economically feasible. Can’t do it.”

Jaques said the SCIC has also performed a larger role in wildlife damage prevention since 2010.

“We provide funding for intercept feeding,” he said.

“In those rare cases when producers have a lot of wildlife in an area, we’ll provide funding to erect a fence to protect those stack yards.”

Waterhouse said a meeting has been scheduled in Parkside March 6 between producers, the SCIC, the provincial environment ministry and Saskatchewan Environment and Resource Management.

ALBERTA CATTLE | PRODUCTION NUMBERS

Census maps pinpoint cattle While cattle numbers in many counties dipped, southeastern Alberta saw an increase

BY MARY MACARTHUR

HERD REDUCTION In 2011, there were 1.56 million cows on 18,944 Alberta farms and ranches. This is a 20.2 percent decline in the number of animals and a 34 percent reduction in the number of producers compared to 2001.

CAMROSE BUREAU

It’s no secret that Alberta’s cattle herd has shrunk dramatically in the past decade.

However, a close look at each county provides a clearer picture of which parts of the province have been most affected.

The biggest reductions in cattle are in the Highway 2 corridor between Edmonton and Calgary in the black soil zone, said Barry Yaremcio, a forage and beef specialist with Alberta Agriculture who helped develop and analyze the census maps.

The 2001 census reported 93,584 cattle in Ponoka County, compared to 42,237 in the 2011 census. A little farther south, the number of cattle in Red Deer County dropped from 77,022 in 2001 to 47,245 in 2011.

“That to me is the effect of wheat and canola,” said Yaremcio.

“If they can make $300 per acre net for wheat and canola, it’s pretty hard to get that kind of cash flow from cows.”

Drought, BSE, older farmers retiring, a labour shortage and recently high grain prices have helped decrease the number of cows on farms, the number of producers raising cattle and herd size.

Alberta had 1.9 million head of cattle on 28,718 farms in 2001 but had peaked at 2.1 million in 2005 after BSE closed trade borders and reduced cattle prices.

By 2011, it had dropped to 1.5 million on slightly more than 18,000 farms. The average number of cows in a herd also increased from 68 to 82 cows.

Yaremcio said he was surprised by the steady increase in the number of cows in southeastern Alberta. It dropped slightly from 21,762 to 19,754 in Forty Mile County from 2001 to 2011, but next door in Cypress County the number increased slightly from 54,372 to 55,331.

“With good moisture conditions over recent years and pastures able to support more cattle, the guys have increased their stocking rate,” he said.

Alberta Beef Producers chair Greg Bowie said droughts in 2002, 2003 and 2009 took their toll on central Alberta cattle producers.

“The severe drought compared to normal was quite dramatic,” said Bowie.

He said many smaller producers decided the hardships of raising cattle were no longer worth it, which is reflected in increased herd sizes.

He also credits wetter than normal conditions in normally dry southeastern Alberta for increasing cattle numbers.

One of the biggest drops in cattle numbers has been in the grey wooded zone of Alberta’s Peace River region, where cattle numbers dropped 36 percent from 187,722 in 2006 to 129,050 in 2011.

The number of producers dropped from 2,643 in 2006 to 1,896 in 2011.

The average herd size dropped from 71 cows to 63 cows.

Bowie said rancher retirement and herd dispersal probably had the biggest impact on overall cattle numbers.

No younger farmers were willing to take on the animals, and they were sold.

Yaremcio said he wanted to gather the information in an easy to use format to help the feed and farm supply industry see exactly where the cattle are in the province.

The numbers may prompt them to open a new branch or modify their structure in areas where there are cows but no feed and farm supply competition.

Stuart takes on role as beef challenges add up Livestock leader | Page Stuart is the first woman elected as chair of the Alberta Cattle Feeders Association

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

RED DEER — A pivotal experience changed Page Stuart’s life when she decided to switch her university studies from English to animal science.

She saw a display from an animal rights group that condemned the raising of farm animals and knew she had to take a stand.

“I felt such a profound responsibility when I heard the information,” she said.

“Those of us in production agriculture are compelled morally to speak up.”

Recently elected as the first woman chair of the Alberta Cattle Feeders Association, she is poised to lead a 40-year-old organization that has experienced one of the largest price upswings in history.

Raised on a mixed farm near Gibbons, Alta., she did not expect to make a career of working with livestock.

Her first job after earning a degree in animal science was with the Alberta Environmental Centre in Vegreville, where she worked for six years on cattle research. It is now the Alberta Research Council.

A serendipitous meeting at Toastmasters introduced her to Bern Kotelko, who owned Highland Feeders at Vegreville with his brother, Mike. They offered her a job, and in

1995 she started as a research assistant, eventually becoming general manager of one of the country’s most progressive operations.

The company feeds 36,000 cattle, runs a biogas plant and developed a branded beef product. It is a past winner of the Alberta Beef Producers environmental stewardship award.

Stuart worked side by side with the brothers to shepherd those projects from start to finish.

“They were terrific mentors to me and allowed me to live my passion for the industry,” she said.

Stuart left Highland in 2011 and is now with Elanco Animal Health, where she works with feedlots.

She completed a master’s degree in business from the University of Alberta during her time with Highland and started a family. Her two young children are now 4-H members and carry on a love of agriculture.

“It is so heartening to me to see them appreciate and understand what we do,” she said.

Page Stuart, chair of the Alberta Cattle Feeders Association, believes the province is still the best place to produce cattle. | FILE PHOTO “They are always asking me what I do, and I like that they are connected to the industry and they share their stories with their friends.”

It never bothered her to be one of the few women in the room as she became more involved with the cat-

tle feeders association, the Alberta Environmentally Sustainable Agriculture Council and Alberta’s intensive livestock working group. She has also chaired the Alberta Farm Safety Advisory Council and sat on the advisory committee to the Natural Re-

sources Conservation Board, which grants permits to intensive livestock operations.

“The thought never occurred to me.

I have always been the kind of person who, if there is an opportunity, I jump in with both feet,” she said.

Sitting on the cattle feeders board has been an exciting period for her as she works with like-minded people.

“They challenge my thinking,” she said. “They believe in what they are doing. They believe in the production of beef as essential to feeding the world.”

It has also been a tough 10 years for the cattle business, which has lost market access because of BSE embargoes, country-of-origin labeling in the United States, restricted trade and negligible profits.

“We have gone through some pretty challenging times in the last years,” she said.

The industry has contracted, but she believes Alberta is still the best place for cattle production. While the economic cycles are less predictable, she says the business will continue.

Another personal challenge and opportunity is to use her talents as a collaborator to draw the various livestock sectors and organizations closer together so they can all work toward the common goal of selling more beef.

SWINE | REGULATIONS

Tracking hogs will be mandatory Hog health | Changes to traceability program coming in July

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

Tracking pigs in Canada w ill become mandatory in July, as will the establishment of a national swine traceability system.

Changes to Canadian animal health regulations to amend the necessary legislation were published in the Canada Gazette at the end of February.

In a news release, the Canadian Pork Council said it has worked closely with producers and the government to develop the new traceability program, Pigtrace Canada.

Pork council officials believe enough time has been spent discussing the program with producers and that the program will be delivered by July.

“For many years, the Canadian hog industry has enjoyed an excellent herd health status,” said Oliver Hann, chair of the Canadian Pork Council Traceability Implementation Committee.

“Animal health and foreign animal disease preparedness are key priorities for our industry, and these new measures will strengthen our industry’s ability to respond to future disease outbreaks,” he said.

The program is expected to play an important role in reducing the risk of transmission of emerging diseases once the program is implemented. It is also expected to reduce the time needed to respond and investigate disease outbreaks from days to minutes.

Research focuses on Johne’s vaccine Disease prevalent in Alberta | Researchers hope to develop oral vaccine for young calves

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

University of Calgary researchers are working on a new type of oral Johne’s disease vaccine for calves that may provide immunity.

Oral doses are an improvement over an injection of killed vaccine because they can travel to the spot where the offending bacteria are found in the intestine.

“We believe we need a vaccine that can actually get to that site and get into the tissues and start an immune response that would actually be pro-

tective,” said researcher Jeroen De Buck, of the university’s faculty of veterinary medicine.

The vaccine would be given to young calves rather than depending on immunity received in colostrum.

“We don’t believe that antibodies transferred from the dam to the calf would be protective,” he said.

“We need another kind of response from the calf from in the intestine.”

Seventy percent of Alberta dairy farms have Johne’s disease.

Also known as paratuberculosis, Johne’s is a chronic and potentially fatal disease that prevents absorp-

tion of nutrients in the intestines of ruminants. The animals eventually starve to death.

No effective vaccines are available so producers have to rely on a high level of biosecurity.

The research, which receives funding from the Alberta Livestock and Meat Agency and Alberta Milk, is looking at creating a live attenuated vaccine, which involves identifying the genes of the bacterium responsible for the infection and deactivating them.

The vaccine genes will contain markers that will help distinguish

vaccinated cattle from cattle infected with Johne’s or bovine tuberculosis.

Researchers are also studying all the known strains of the disease in Canada.

“There are different strains, but what we don’t know is if there are actually differences in how they cause disease,” he said.

As well, scientists are working on risk assessments on farms and improving diagnoses.

A three-year surveillance project showed the disease is widespread across Alberta farms, although probably just a few cattle are actually infected in a herd.

“We didn’t know the within-herd prevalence, but we know the prevalence in the province of Alberta,” said Jodi Flaig, industry development coordinator at Alberta Milk.

Producers who have a herd with negative results should continue to test their cattle. Positive herds should be monitored every year, and producers need to work with their veterinarian to eliminate it.

Flaig said Alberta Milk has applied for Growing Forward 2 money to continue the Johne’s initiative and conduct risk assessments for other possible diseases.

The Alberta project is part of the Canadian Johne’s Disease Initiative to reduce the prevalence of disease. It is a collaboration led by Dairy Farmers of Canada, the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association and the Canadian Animal Health Coalition.

CATTLE ID | RFID TAG SALES

Changes made to CCIA tagging system ANIMAL HEALTH

ROY LEWIS, DVM

T

he distribution of radio frequency identification tags is changing in Canada.

It will be business as usual for many producers, but others will see a major change as their suppliers decide to no longer carry RFID tags under the new dealer agreement.

Retailers can now obtain Canadian Cattle Identification Agency ear tags from only one wholesale distributor: Canadian Drug Manufacturing Veterinaries (CDMV) in Quebec.

The coloured tags used by Canadian Angus, Holstein Canada and the Canadian Bison Association won’t change because they are already distributed nationally through their breed programs.

The change was made after the Canadian Food Inspection Agency suggested that data integrity would

THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | MARCH 6, 2014

improve if there was only one national distributor. All tag manufacturers will supply this distributor, which means your preferred retailer can still carry the same make of tag if they decide to continue selling tags.

Retailers have a little more reporting to do and there will be an annual fee to support an audit program. As well, retailers need to open a new account with CDMV. The new agreement also requires retailers to store CCIA data only in Canada so that they come under Canadian privacy and security laws.

Producers can also order tags online through the CCIA website.

I’m assuming that prices will remain steady, but small retailers may need to incorporate the annual fee into the tag price. There will still be about 1,400 tag retailers in Canada.

The CCIA is continually testing tags, and the most recent recommendation is to apply them when they are warm. Most producers have already realized this after having difficulty placing cold tags in cattle’s ears. And even if successful, fissures and cracks may develop that later cause it to snap and fall out.

It has been difficult to keep up-todate with taggers because each man-

ufacturer has a slightly different system. Some are compatible with many tag brands but others are not, so using the same make of tagger as the tag is likely the best.

Allflex makes a green tagger that has the pin almost offset so that the button contacts the button hole at the perfect right angle. Attempting to force the button in at an angle may slightly damage the tag, which is when structural breakdowns can occur.

Using the right button matched to the tag is critical because some tags have longer or shorter buttons.

The CFIA has access to the database for tracing serious animal health concerns as well as food safety concerns. I believe the police can request access when tracing found cattle and strays.

The identification can also be used for age verification, and I am sure many other uses will be found in the future. The readable tags are also allowing better research in the field.

It may be wishful thinking, but I see a day when total integration between the sectors may be facilitated by the RFID tag information.

Interest high in biological market Monsanto/Novozymes deal | Major seed companies are adding biological products to their lineups

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

SAN ANTONIO, Texas — An alliance between Monsanto and Novozymes will result in a broader array of thoroughly tested biological products for farmers, says a senior Monsanto executive.

“We will innovate,” said Brad Griffith, vice-president of global commercial microbials with Monsanto.

“You will see more products from us. You will see a lot more products from us. There is no question in my mind.”

The company paid $300 million to gain access to Novozymes’ extensive lineup of biological products, such as TagTeam, Optimize and QuickRoots.

The two companies will split research expenditures and profits 50-50.

Griffith said the deal will lend credibility to a segment of the agriculture business that has traditionally been met with considerable farmer skepticism.

“What growers are going to get from us is, we’re going to test this stuff like you’ve never seen products tested before,” he said during an interview at the 2014 Commodity Classic conference.

Monsanto’s expansive field testing program would wrap around the world 2.6 times if the fields were laid end-to-end.

“So we’re not experimenting on (farmers’) fields. That’s the first thing (farmers) need to know. When they get a product from Monsanto Bioag, it’s not a science fair project.”

Monsanto launched its agricultural biological platform in 2012. The company has been conducting research in conjunction with third parties and acquired Agradis Inc. in 2013.

The company screened more than 500 strains of microbials last year that were created from those research initiatives. However, until the Novozymes deal, it didn’t have much in the way of product offerings for growers.

Novozymes keeps the manufacturing, fermentation and research components of the business.

Monsanto will continue to fund its own research and will be responsible for marketing and commercializing the product lineup generated from the alliance, including most of the existing Novozymes products.

“We’re going to be working on a global branding look and feel,” Griffith said.

“We’ve got to get rid of the Novozymes colour schematics, for example, and change those to more of a

global branded bio-ag strategy.”

Many of the big players in the seed business have entered the biological market through acquisitions in the last few years. For instance, Syngenta acquired Pasteuria Bioscience Inc., BASF bought Becker Underwood and Bayer CropScience purchased AgraQuest Inc. “Just about everybody is starting to find interest in this space,” said Griffith.

He believes seed technology companies like the systems approach to agriculture, where they can provide farmers with everything from genetics to seed treatments to biologicals.

Companies also like the sustainability aspect of a business that is based on naturally occurring products.

As well, the science has developed to the point where they can prove there is a benefit to growers.

“It’s not going to pencil out every year,” Griffith said.

“It’s no different than your seed treatment technology. They don’t pencil out every year. But over the course of three to five years, there has to be a compelling economic rationale.”

Tom Johnson, founder of TJ Technologies and inventor of QuickRoots, believes there is another reason seed technology companies have

embraced biologicals: today’s plant genetics are underused.

“There is more yield in that plant than what they’re able to realize with present technologies. Therein lies that interest.”

He too believes the entrance of players such as Monsanto gives biological products the credibility they previously lacked.

“The problem is that biologicals were extremely inconsistent and quite frankly were oversold,” said Johnson.

It has been a long struggle to convince farmers that a product such as QuickRoots can consistently deliver an extra eight bushels per acre when applied to their corn fields.

“The fact that our technologies are now with Monsanto is a validation of what we spent 20 or 30 years doing,” said Johnson.

“It’s going to be a validation I believe to farmers as well that this biological space is for real.”

Griffith expects U.S. soybean farmers will eventually embrace the products as fully as pulse and canola growers have in Canada.

“We’re going to earn our credibility.

We’re going to earn their trust.

They’re going to see the economic benefits of these technologies,” he said.

MANAGEMENT | CHANGE

Open doors for business by focusing on your talents THE BOTTOM LINE

GLENN CHEATER

Thinking outside the box also involves continually learning about new things

W

hen Tim Wiens finished university 30 years ago, he thought he knew exactly how things were going to play out.

But he was wrong.

“At one time, I thought my life would be following in the footsteps of a successful entrepreneur, my father, Ted, and we’d be producing and selling eggs,” says the president of O&T Farms.

“Then somewhere along the line you start to learn a few more things, and I started seeing beyond always being an egg producer and egg marketer.”

Today, the Regina company is a leading producer of livestock feed and on the cutting edge in the booming market for omega 3 food.

Wiens is a great example of what can happen when you stop defining yourself by what you produce and focus on your ability to learn.

The turning point came in 1997 when the company, which Wiens’ father and uncle Oscar had built into Canada’s second largest egg producer, was trying to figure out what to do with spent layer hens. Wiens thought they had an ingenious solution.

The company developed, and later patented, a dry extrusion process using heat and pressure to create a highly digestible protein.

The trouble was that the process, when applied to chickens, was smelly, and odour complaints forced O&T to shift gears.

Instead of animals, why not use the process to extract protein and energy from pulses and oilseeds?

It was a great idea, and about to get better.

As Wiens looked around, he saw that forward-thinking egg producers were responding to the growing interest in omega 3 fatty acids, one of the first stars in the functional food market, by adding flax to their feed rations.

“When we looked at what our product could be, versus just feeding straight flax, we saw an opportunity because we had a way to feed more omega 3s with less flax,” says Wiens.

The market potential for omega 3 food was huge, but pursuing it would require a heavy investment in research and development, testing and market development. It would thrust O&T into an entirely new business. No longer would it be an egg producer and marketer.

Wiens says his father and uncle had made a similar choice decades earlier when they switched from the trucking business to eggs. And he was excited by the challenge of trying something new.

“Continuous learning is one of our core values, and you have to put

yourself in the right environment in order to be continually learning,” he says.

There’s been plenty of that as O&T has developed its omega 3 feed. It has different lines for dairy cattle, hogs and chickens, and horses, and is constantly looking at digestibility, shelf life, amino acid profile, stripping out anti-nutritional elements, optimum formulations and how much omega 3 ends up in the eggs and meat of the animals given the feed.

“We’ve been at this for 10 years and we think we have a heck of an idea. I believe that everyone should eat more omega 3s because it’s healthier for you,” says Wiens, before adding with a laugh: “Hopefully, I have

TIM WIENS O&T FARMS

enough marketing dollars to get that message heard and enough time to reap the reward for our efforts.”

That day may not be far off as demand is skyrocketing for food offering additional health benefits.

Omega 3 eggs now have a 15 percent market share and, thanks to more effective feed products, demand for omega 3 chicken, pork and milk

seems likely to soon follow suit.

O&T’s story is an example of how the business of producing food is changing, and Wiens predicts it will only accelerate.

Many producers have already carved out niches in a commodity world — “naturally raised” or identity-preserved products are just two examples — and he says farmers who have stuck with bulk commodities need to think about whether that’s a business they want to stay in.

“In our business, we have a commodity product and a value-added product,” he says.

“I can tell you that if you’re only going to be a commodity producer, you’d better make sure that you’re

the best at it. If not, you run the risk of being run over by those who are.”

That may sound threatening, especially for families who have been commodity producers for generations. But is it? Wiens is quick to point out that change is exciting because it allows you to focus on your talents and interests.

“My advice to anyone would be, ‘don’t pigeonhole yourself,’ ” he says.

“What you are now isn’t the same as what you could be.”

Through rain and snow and extreme cold, fundraising must go on. Agro students from The University of Saskatchewan endured the traditional bed push from Saskatoon to Regina along Highway 11 to raise money for Telemiracle 38, which was held in Regina March 1-2. The students raised $13,125. Kinsmen Telemiracle 2014 raised $5,285,744, which helps buy special needs and medical equipment for Saskatchewan residents. Cam De Wolf, left, and Tanner Borsa, take their shift as the bed was pushed through Chamberlain, Sask. last week. |
